The Official Call of the National Demo.
cratic Convention.

The National Democratic Committee, to
whom is delegated the power of fixing the
time and place of holding the National
Democratic Convention of 1876, have ap.
pointed Tuesday, the twenty-seventh day
of June next, noon, as the time, and selected
ST. Louis as the place of holding such Con-
vention.
Each State will be entitled to a represen-
tation equal to double the number Of its
Senators and Representatives in the Con-
gress of the United States; and the Terri
tory of Colorado, whose admission in July
as State will give it a vote in tie next
Electoral College, is also invited to send
delegates to the Convention.
Democratic, Conservative and other citi-
zens of the United States, irrespective Of
past political associations, desiring to CO.
operate with the Democratic party in its
present efforts and objects, are cordially in
vited to join in sending delegates to the
National Convention. Cooperation Is de-
sired from all persons who would change
an administration that has suffered the
public credit to become and remain inferior
to other and less favored nations; has per-
mitted commerce To be taken away by
foreign powers; has stifled trade by uni Just,
UNEQUAL and perIii,.iOHs legislation; has inn
posed unusual taxation aud rendered il
most burdensome; has langeG growing
prosperity to widespread suffering anc
want; has squandeied the public moneys
recklessly and defiantly, and shanelesslt
used the power that should have been swift
to punish crime, to protect it.
For these and other reasons the nationa
Democratic party deem the public danger
imminent. and earnestly DESTROYS of secur-
ing to our country the blessing of an eco
nomcal, pure aud free government, cor
.lially invite the cooperation OF their fellow.
citizens in the effort to attain this object.

DEAR JOURNAL:-It has Sc dom beer
my fortune t. attend an ufflIr % pleas
ant and 80 we'll conducted as the Lear
Year and Calico ball given by the
! young ladies Of Clinton and the sur.
rounding country Oh tue 2Sth OF April
| last
The bali room was literally crowded
with beautiful young ladies and ga.
liant young men; and although I had
been tod that Clinton was noted for
Its beautiful young ladies, yet I was
not prepared to see m array of beauty
| unequaled by any place of the same
size i'll the State.
All the ladies wore calico dresses;
and if they knew how lovely, how
graceful and how captivating they
were to us ''lords of creation" they
V Il Il ever hereafter wear calico OF
course every N u Wore a cravat made
of piect of his sweethcart's dress,
and 1t WAS only necessary to look at
t q dresses a..d cravat4 to fiui the
couples that Think, at some fu.ure day,
they will make each other happy. But,
as IS always my luck, 10 lady sent me
piece of her dress; but, nevertheless.
determined not to be OutdOne. [
searched the rooms of Mr.. Is Dykin S
hotel till L found what |, at that time.
thought to be a calico dress, aud L at
once appropriated a strip Of it to nv
own use, thinking that l won q make
nebody think that some fair dAmael
wanted to marry me; but, as! what
was my surprise and mort fca6iOu to
find that 1t was a piece of Il young
mans studying gown that had been
left in its proper place by its owner;
and the worst of it was, every person
al the dance knew it, 7 thought that
the room looked mighty scarce for ii
lady's
But the ball. At about 9 o'clock
the music arc e with it's voluptuous
swell, and as the enchanting strains
foated on the air, filling the room
with concord aud harmony, the
dancers moved off with an ease and
grace that was facinating to behold;
aud never have [ seen so mucL spirit
ard vim as was thrown into the differ
ent dances, which were kept mp with
out IntermissiOn till midnight when a
bouutiful supper of refreshments con
sisting of everything that was good
for the inner man was handed ar 0und,
and after the large crowd had partaken
plentifully, the dancing was resumed

upon every countenance, and as the
night grew old it did indeed, seem as

Lastly, but by 10 means last, the
were Misses Jennie Beaman,
Lon Herring, Emma Faison and NJ. Z.
Boykin. What shall [ say of them? to |
say they managed the bal! well would
be far short Of doing them justice. A, |
they glided over the room, making all (
pleasant aud Happy, [ could but COM
pare them to angels leaving their ce
l1stial home to bring peace ana joy to |
fallen men. How happy must be the
homes that contain such angelic |
beings! Blessed i he that shall get |
either of them for wife. A young |
man who don't live thousand miles
from Clinton says that he will not die

The AcquiIIaL of Mr- Strsuge.
1t WAS with intense gratific ttion that
this com munity received Intelligence
on yesterday that Mr.. II omas Wright
Strange had been finally acquitted in
Bdncombe Superior Court. The tele
gram stated that the jury had re-
turned a verdict of acquittal on lues-
day afternoon, one hour after the case
was given to them.
No event of like nature has given
such universal JOY TO our people. Col.
Strange aud his son had the entire
sympathy of the immunity during
Tie severe ordeal through which they
nave passed. and while it was believed
thHt the Innocence Of Mr.. Thomas
Strange would surely be declared by
'he Jury, yet tie sympathetic chord
was 80 deeply touched that there was
long drawn breath Of rei'ef from
