The North Carolina sky begins TO
Gear up. The Raleigh Nelrs, speaking
Of the three Independents whom both
parties have claimed in various proper
tons, says It has positive information
that Messrs. Ransom, Spake and VIII
cox are all outspoken Conservatives
and will act with that party in the
convention" The AsheUaIe Citizen
publishes a card from Mr.. Spake,
whom the Republicans have been
claiming, In which be definitely defines
his position, declaring:
Il am not in favor of the meet and
adjourn policy, and have never, at any
time, given utter nee to any such sen
timent. On the contrary, l have
steadily advocated constitutional re-
form, and an still for it.
This insures a Democratic majority
of two, and possibly four, if the Gov
ernor orders q special election for a
successor to Gov. Graham, deceased.

Walking up the street the other
night, we saw two men running across
the Square, one inst IN front Of the
ether. The hindmost one gave out
when half way across, and leant up
against the courthouse fence; and as
we passed him We heard him mutser as
he gazed wistfully after the vanishing
figure of the man he had been pUrsu-
ing; They may be (hic) making cards
with two (hic) jacks of spades to the
pack, but if they is (hic) that feller had
the fust ones 1 ever seed" And after
resting awhile he commenced laying
the pattern Of a worm fence out West
brook street, a sadder and, we expect, a
poorer man.

IeetOr.
GainsborO Correspondence Hartsville Sentinel.
Quite a sensation was produced in
this county on Friday the Goth, by the
discovery Of some forged warrants that
have been in circulation. 1t has been
the opinion Of some Of the good people
of this county for a long time thai
there has been a fraud perpetrated up
on the treasury of this county, by
means of which it has been flched of
vast sums Of money, and the county in
debtedness increased until it has as
sumed startling and gigantic proper
tions. We are informed that on Friday,
the Goth inst. tKrkpatick, Cum
bingham and Anderson pur-
chased from Mr.. - two county
warrants, one for thirty and one for
ten dollars. Mr.. III. L. Gore, of this
place, who is quite an expert in the de-
lection Of cOunterfeiting, requested the
parties to let him examine the war
rants, and after scrutinizing them to
his satisfaction, pronounced them coun-
terfeit. They then repaired to the
County Clerks Office, where the County
Judges books are kept, and upon CON-
parison the warrants of the same num-
Der on the books. Of the Office were
found to be for different amounts and
payable to different persons. 1t was
pronounced to be palpable counter
felt and an attempt to defraId the
county, whereupon q States warrant
was procured for the arrest Of Mr.. -
and placed IN the hands of Asa
johnson, our estimable Sheriff, and
It was not long until he had him in
limbo, and was brought to Gaines
boro. His counsel, after cOnsulta-
ton, thought it best to waive an in
vestigation and give bond for defend
anita appearance at the next term of
the Circuit Court, which was done and
the prisoner released. 1t is thought
that in the investigation of this case
the most stupendOus fraud and corrup-
ton that was ever perpetTated upon
any people viii be brought to light.
On account Of the developments
alluded to above, III. B. Young, County
Judge, has issued a printed notice for
all persons holding claims against
Jackson county to present them to him
for examination before the fr-t of De-
cember next, o. the same viii be re-
jected.

THE sPEAKERSHIP.

In an editorial, headed "The Poll
ticians' Talk" the Nclg York Herald
states that the Speakership ofthe House
is to be conceded by the South and West
to Pennsylvania, the Presidency to 60 to
the West, "the South modestly fOrego-
ing any place on the Presidential ticket
aud asking only the Clerkship of the
House of Representatives"
It may be true that the West desires
tue candidate for the Presidency and
the South the Clerkship of the House,
bat it is not true that the Speakership
will be conceded to Pennsylvania. The
SPEAKER by the appointment of his COM
mittees can control the legislation Of
the next Congress. This is especially
so and especially important to the
South and West with regard to all legis-
lation looking to the raising Of revenue.
The Committee Of Ways and Means
can dictate the revenue policy of the
government for the next year. They
can, by their resolves in committee
and action in the House, defeat the re-
peal of existing odious protective
tariff enactments. The agricultural,
producing congressional districts South
and West wiunever concede the Speak.
ership to Mr.. Randall, nor to any other
Pennsylvania who has Mr.. Randal's
record on the tariff. If the Speaker
ship be conceded to the Middle or
Eastern States, It viii go to some man
who can say, as Mr.. Cox, Of New York,
did TO Mr.. Randall: Every dollar Of
this increased prosperity, of which
Pennsylvania now arrogantly boasts
has been robbed from industries else
where"

TIE progress made by the COmte dc

War, indicates that the work viii not
be completed under eight volumes, and
viii form the most elaborate treatiseon
the subject yet attempted. Although
a member Of the staff Of Ge-eral
Mcclellan, the Orleanist Prince places
Sherman above that General IN capac.
ity. Indeed he seems TO regard Sher-
man as superior to Grant, Lee, John
stol and jackson. Yet, with a strange
faulty, this French work contradicts
Sherman's Memoirs on many and mate
rial matters.

More farmers have called on rs anC
given encouraging reports Of the rap
idly improving prospects of the to,
bacco crops than Of any crop this year.
They say their first cuttings are light
but that the late tobacco is thickening
up finely and viii make good tobacco.
1T is an III wind that blows no good
and fortunately for the farmers a great
deal Of their early tobacco wac eaten
by grasshoppers and as many as four
or five paintings were made before a
stand could beobtained. Consequently
a large proportion of the crop is late,
and will therefore stand every chance
Of being excellent.

EPIDEMICs Of crime are now scien-
tifcally recognized. The offeuse Of
Col. Baker has broken out IN England
in more than one instance. One Jos.
Wooding, of Derby, has Just been
committed for trial for an assault upon
Miss Elizabeth Brightman, teacher IN
a young ladies seminary.-Chieag0
Tribune.
These "epidemics" are largely due
to the newspapers-partly IN oOnse-
quence Of detailed accounts being read
by parties already half inclined to
crime, who thus learn how to do it
and partly in consequence Of reporto-
rial Imagination, the story Of one crime
bling frequently revamped and with
slight variations adapted to half a
dozen different localities.

ThE CALIFORNIA BANK RUPTURE.
The failure Of the great gold bank at
San Francisco seems to have fallen
upon the financial community quite as
unexpectedly as that of Duncan, Sher-
man & Co, and it should be remember
ed that it was a much larger affair, its
paid-up capital being five million dol
lars gold. 1t issued no notes, being a
bank Of deposit, exchange and dis
count only. There are no noteholders
to suffer, and it is given out that am
pie assets remain to meet the claims Of
depositors. The suspension viii be
less felt over the country than that Of
Duncan, Sherman & Co., but the result
on the Pacific Coast may be all the
more disastrous for that reason, It's
business being mainly confined to that
region. We need MT go far
to find the actual cause
of the failure. Every sensible
man knew that somebody must be ul6-
mately hurt by the tremendous specu-
lation in mining stocks inaugurated by
the famous "big bonanza" of silver. It
appears the Gold Bank. INDUCED large
ly in this outside business, and really
failed as a mining speculator rather
than as a bank. In the latter capacity
it manifested the most remarkable
strength even to the end, paying out
over its counter 81, 100000 in gold the
the very day it closed. This amounted
10 one-third Of its capital. The imue.
diate cause Of the enormous run" on
the bank, which constituted the imme-
date cause of its suspension, has not
yet been explained by the telegraph.

An ENGLISH HEY.

a lady wassinjured by an accident
on the Great Western Railway. A
doctor, protesting to be authorized by
the company, asked the propri. tor Of
the Kings Arms Hotel, at Oxford, to
care for the sufferer. She was sick for
some time, and upon recovery declined
to pay the bill Of f1l7 presented to her.
The hOtel-keeper su d her for that sum.
The defense was that the railway COM
pany, not the defendant, was liable.
The Judge laid down the law, and the
Jury withdrew. Theycame in presently
with a verdict for both the plaintiff and
defendant. This remarkable result was
reached by their announcement that the
Great Western must pay the Ell7.
They were reminded that the company
was not a party to the suit, and sent
back. Their befogged brains then pro-
duced the following striking contribu-
ton to legal literature: Verdict for
the defendant; the Great Western must
pay her el0O." This, of course, was
rejected. The next time they brought
in a verdict Of eli for tie plaintiff.
This the Judge had 10 accept, though
he expressed his opinion Of the stupid
persistence with which the jury clung
to their belief that the Great Western
ought to be made to pay 600 in the
suit in which it was neither plaintiff
nor defendant. We invite stupidity
Ike this by making ignorance 4 pre-
requisite for jury service.
