The candidates for Congress in this
district had pretty sharp little time
Of it at Pleasant Grove, Johnston
county, last Tuesday. In the course
of his sperch Capt. Davis referred to
the late Gov. Graham - one of the
purest and best uen the State had ever
produced. Young. in his reply, re-
marked that Oapt. Davis had said that
if Gov. Graham were now alive he
would be urging the secessionists on In
their course of destruction. Capt.
Davis arose and denied that he
had said suoh Q thing. Young repeat
ed it, and Oapt. Davis said: "You tell
lie, sir, and you know It," mo man
can tell me that I lie, sir" responded
Young, and he drew his sleeves up
and his friends began to gather around
him. Captain Davis took his seat and
folded his arms quietly across his
breast; Young looked him right
straight In the face for . moment or
two. and then went on with his speech,
and this was the end of what had
promised to be . lively time. This Is
the story as an sys- witness tells 1t.

A majority of the surviving member,
of the Indiana regiment which Gen.
Harrison, the Republican candidate
for Governor, commanded, have signed
a resolution repudiasing the claim of
his partisan friends that they are solid
in lis support. They say that he was
unapproachabie and harsh in authori-
ty, and left his regiment in the field to
come home and stump the State as

Dome Know Ris Business.

There Is q mail agent on the route
between this place and Wilmington
who seems not to know his business.
There is postoffice in Rowan county
called Blackwells. The other day this
agent got a letter directed to the sec
retary Of the Hayes and Wheeler club
at Blackwens. Not knowing such \
place in this State he marked the en-
velope thus: "No such place in North
Carolina, Blackwell's Island, N. Y, Is
the place this is intended for" When
our readers understand that Black
wells Island is the place where con-
victed criminals from New York are
sent the joke will be appreciated.
This fellows head ts level. for he
knows all of Hayes supporters will be
there. or In Q similar place. after the
4th of March next if they have justice
done them. .-Raleigh NeVs.

Do you believe that the Convention
was right in saying that white people
and negroes ought to remain separate
and distinct races If SO, vote for the
amendments. Do you think negro
children and white children ought to
sit side by side in the school house,
and do you think negroes and whites
ought to intermarry If you do think
so, then by all means vote against the
amendments, for il they shall be rati-
fed negroes and white people will not
associate upon terms of equality ex-
cept in the Radical party. Vote for
the amendments

The Boston Post says: :

The jury in the Babcock case at
Washington excites the derisive COM
ment of the country for its compost
| ton. It is altogether too plain that
it was organized to acquit. Three, at
least, of the jurors have been init
mately connected with the District
Ring and have been in Babcock's en-
ploy and under personal obligations
to him. Another was caterer to the
clubhouse in which the conspiracy
Was connected, and where the con-
spirators came together again after the
burglary WAS effected. A fifth has
been employrd by Babcock about the
public grounds of the city, which are in
his direct personal charge. A sixth
was formerly Treasury clerk, and is
now suffering from q discharge from
Office. Shepherd. commonly called
" Boss," is, SO soon, offering bets that
the jury will acquit him without leav-
ing the box. It was into courts of
this character and before juries thus
instituted, all under the very windows
of the administration, that Republi-
can Congress did it's best to drag the
proprietors of distant newspapers that
kept correspondents at Washington.
What language is equal to a fit char
acterization of such a farce in the
ma ne of justice ? Yet it is but single |
of the way in which this
party in power would punish crime |
and carry out reform.

EDITORS JOURNAL A portion of
the citizens of Grant Township, Pom
der county, met at Sandy Run. on
Saturday, the Esd, and organized a
Tilden, Vance and Waddell Club,
which was 6enominated the Tilden,
Vance and WaddeIl Club of Grant

Club:
President-P. K. Bryan, Jr.
ce-Presidents-N. Atkinson, A.
Garrison and W. 81. King.
Secretary-James W. Foy.
Corresponding Secretary-Dr. 8. l..

Thirty two of our best and most
efficient citizens came forward and
enrolled their names as members of
the Club.
A working committee of fifteen was
appointed, consisting of the following
gentlemen James w. Foy, D. F.

Nixon, F. P. Sidberry, John Burton,
James Westbrook and John Zim-

After completing the organization.
calls were made for Mr.. Richard w.
Nixon and Maj. @. W. McClammy,
who responded in eloquent and ap-
propriate speeches, which were re-
ceived with reat applause.
Mr.. Nixon plainly showed up the
rottenness of Grants administration,
while Maj. McClammy ably advocated
the adoption of the Constitutional
Amendments. Both speakers acquit-
ted themselves with the greatest
credit.
Throughout the entire meeting the
greatest enthusiasm was exhibited,
and the once old dead Township of
Pender county is being aroused to the
sense of duty that looms up before
her.
Old and young have put their shoul-
ders to the wheel, and with success as
their watchword, and a perseverance
that knows no end, have determined
that in November next no township in
the State shall excel Grant in q Dem
ocratic majority.

The Republicans have collected
axes enough since the close of the war
to pay the national debt twice. They
have reduced it less than five hundred
millions. What has become of the
balances A great many Blaines,
Schencks, Buffers. Babcocks, Belk-
maps and Robesons, who went into life
poor, are now immensely rich. Where
did their riches come from ? Instead
of answering these questions, they
will wave the "bloody shirt" and pour
out false tales of bloody horror. More
plunder is what they are after.

The October contest is now the
great question. Any gain for the
Democrats will be just cause of en-
couragement, while to make their
boasts good the Republicans must
sweep everything in October. Both
President Grant and Secretary Chan
dler have admitted this during the
last few days. Democratic victory moe
tober would be decisive, while Repub-
lican victory would only make the No.
vember contest more bitter and finally
decisive,

County Scrip and Taxes.

MK. EDITORIALS you sometimes dis

tics, plesse let us know if the county
tax gatherer can repudiate the county
scrip. Say that owe 800 for State
tax and 800 for county tax and pre-
sent q county order for 5000. Of this
$50 is received in part payment of the
county tax, while none of it will be
allowed in settlement of State tax :
that is to say but 25 per cent. of my
orders are received for taxes. Please
tell your readers whether the tax
gatherers can legally refuse to receive

Mr.. Garrell has turned the cele~

been successful, with the assistance of
W. $. Bray, his manager, in the rails

five acres were sown down in rye.
During the summer fifty COWS were

In June the c.: VS. were taken off. The
land was then turned over, commend.
ing to pillow on the twentieth of June,
and finishing about the middle of July.
On the first of September commenced

Elag Raising and Speaking d
Town creek Township.

Town Creek Township.
Last Saturday was big day for tn
Democrats of Town Greek Township
They assembled at Thee's store ac
cording to previous announcement
| and raised a magnificent pole and {
beautiful fig nine by thirty feet long
on which was inscribed TnDEN
VANCE AND REFORM. There were over
two hundred present, and the crowd
was aroused fully up to the pitch Of
enthusiasm which has now become
general over the whole State. The
pole stands one hundred and taOe7at.y.
taOo feet above ground; it is as
straight as an arrow and it's symmet-
rical properties are beautiful. The
appliance for raising SO long and heavy
a pole were limited in the country and
great praise is due to those who were
active in its erection, especially, we
learn, to E. r. Taylor, -- Durandt
and Evans. When the flag was seen
to float gracefully from it's elevated
masthead three cheers were sent up
for Tilden, Vance, the State Ticket,
Waddell and Reform.
The audience was then addressed
by Mess. Eugene S. Martin and J. I.
Macks of this city, who were present
in obedience to a previous invitation
to address the crowd on the occasion.
We learn that the speeches of both
of those gentlemen were we'll received.
Mr.. Martin spoke first, and for the
space Of an hour and half held firmly
the attention of his audience. His
speech was devoted to the exhibition
of the fact that the tendency. of the
Radical party was to centrallze the
power of the people in the government
at Washington. and in arguing this
question, compared the recent order OF
the Secretary of War with the decis-
ion of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, showing how utterly re-
gardless the Radical party is of all law
and all judicial interpretations of the
law. After di-posing of this Mr.. Mar
tin spoke on the other issues OF the
and, as usual, acquitted
himself most handsomely in their dis
cusslon.
Mr.. J. I. Macks followed Mr.. Martin
in a speech of little over an hour,
the greater portion of the day having
been already consumed in the work of
erecting the pole, which was
difficult job with the limited appli-
ances as stated. This speaker devoted
his time to the discussion of the con-
amendments principally,
but also gave some good counsel to
the colored people. quite q number of
whom were present. We learn that
his remarks and views on the political
questions which directly affect the
colored men attracted the favorable
of the negroes who we're
present, and gave them food for refec-
tion when they returned to their
homes. Altogether, we learn that this
meeting was a fine success.
