w. Hal. Harrison was correspond
ing clerk i'll the Raleigh National Bank
In 1869 and up to July 1870. In May
1871 he was brought as witness be-
fore the Fraud Commission. He made
the following sworn statement:
On-the Sd day Of May, 1870, found
Horace L. Pike, formerly editor of the
Standard in this city, just after sup
per, sitting at the desk in the ban king
room. Mr.. Hearett a book>keeper of
the bank was present. In conversation
he remarked that for one hundred dol
lars he would give mo information in
writing that would be worth $lu, 600.
l paid no attention to him at this time.
and he then said he would do it for
fifty, and then for twenty-five dol
lars, and then for nothing. He
then wrote the paper which L now
have, and which is attached to this
He offered it to me- say
ing now give me the money and you
can have 1t. I laughed at it and made
some jesting reply. He then took up
the paper and threw it in the basket,
which was placed by the desk to hold
waste paper. I think he was under the
influence of liquor, being about half
drunk. LII few minutes after, Pike
lett, saying he WAS going to Gov.
Holden to get tsome money, as he was
going to Washington that night. After
he left, from curiosity, took the
pieces Of paper he had left ard pasted
them together, at the sametime calling
Mr.. Heartt's attention, both to the act
and to the paper after it was put to-,
gether. then pasted the paper on
another sheet. 1t reads as follows:
''I, hereby SWEAR, that am knowing
Of the fact that w. W. Holden did III
the year 1866, receive $25 900, (twenty-
i've Thousand dollars) in North Caro-
lima bonds, for giving his signature to

HIGH ANDLOW TAXES.

The st. Louis Republican says
that facts and figures are hard things
to get over. Look at this small lot:
The Republican administration asked
for appropriations-to pay the exp
eases of Government the present fiscal
$2O3, ,O99, ,O25 48. The Democratic
House cut down the bills to $138, 752, %
343 42-a reduction of $64 1856, 692 O6.
The Republican Senate refused to
agree, and demanded $1s8, ,26O, ,598 63
The House was compelled to com
premise on $l47,719,O74 .85-a saving
on the original administration estim-
ates of $55, $50, $50 So, and S29, ,944, 152
46 less than the actual appropriation
for 1876. In other words, the iRepub.
ican wanted to tax the country at
the rate of 81 SO for each one of our
AZ, 200, 900 population, and did last
year actually tax at the rate of 81 %.
The Democrats tried to reduce it to
So 80, and did reduce it to So 511. The
Republican orators and organs are
invited to attack this solid logic of
dollars and cents, and get away with it
if they can.

The New York San says
Some tine prior to 1860, William A.
Wheeler. J. s. Eldridge, of Boston, and
George w. Brown. of Ogdensburg,
were appointed trustees of the Og-
densburg, s. Lawrence and Lake
Chamllain Railroad The annual
salary Of each trustee was fixed at
$5, 900. In 1866, the stockholders of
the company, realizing that the trus
tees were grossly mismanaging the
road, instituted proceedings in the SUI
preme COURT for their removal. In
1866 an order was granted by the
court empowe ting the stockholders to
re-organiZe the company. MIR. Wheel
er, knowing that a reorganization
would remove him, and learning that
under the code of pratice in New York
no appeal could be taken from the
order of the Court, secured the passage
through the Legislature of an amnd-
ment to the code of procedure that
rendered such orders appealabie.
Armed with a copy of the law, he
threatened to appeal from the order
unless the stockholders would compro-
mise with HIM by paying to him and
his co-trustees $40 600 each, their
salary for four years. The stockholde IS,
desirous of getting rid of the trustees,
and unwilling to submit to the delay
consequent on appeal from the order:
consented to Mr. WI eeler terms, and
paid him aud his associates $50, 900:
After the company had been reorganzed
suit was brought against Messrs.
Wheeler, Eidridge aud Brown to
recover the $50. 1000. One of the
oompary's counsel was Edwards
Pierrepont. The Justice before whom
the case was brought was relative OF
one of the trustees, and it was there
fore removed to the United States
Supreme Court, where it Is still
pending. Since the suit was begun
MIR. Eldrdge and Mr.. Brown have
died.

IDelud d By False Hopes

He was 8 seedy-looking individual,
and as he stood upon the corner gaz-
ing wistfuIly at the disappearing of a
newsboy who had just picked up
good-sized stump and was making off
with the prize, thore was a vague
aspect of despair In his attitude which
was very touching. Perhaps it was
this which attractel i the attention of a
mild-looking party who was passing by,
and perhaps it was something else; but
however this may be, the mild-looking
party stopped. and gazing at the
solitary figure, addressed it thus:
"Old man, wouldn't you like to have
drink this morning?"
you've read me as accurately as
though my thoughts were printed on
al open page" replied the solitary,
taking his quid from his mouth aud
passing dllapidated coat-sleeve over
his lips.
81 thought so," murmured the mild
looking parry, while tear trickled
down his cheek; "but conquer the
desire. Fight it as you would a legion
Of demons. for drink has ruined many
a man who had more expansive
forehead than you've got"
Aud the mild>looking party continued
on his way and solitary gazed dreamily
into space and communed with him
self.

our Campaign from n Virginia
Standpoint.
The Norfolk Virginian says:

uc
Over the border, however, in NORTH
Carolina the fight wakes hotter and
hotter as the day of election ap-
proaches, and the canvass in that
State is probably the most vigorous
one that has been made since the war.
By some means or other a compara-
lively large number of white men have
acted with the Republican party in
that State since 1865, and although
their number has been decreased of
late, yet the united front and the
strenuous efforts made by the Radicals
to maintain their ground in that State
by the aid of the united negro vote
renders the Republican party, headed
by Settle, foe not to be despised or
underrated by the Conservatives of
that State. Our party has been
peculiarly fortunate in the selection
of Zeb. Vance as their candidate
for Governor. Probably 10 man in
this country is superior to ex-Gov-
ernor Vance as a stump-speaker and
popular orator. He has a quick per
ception that never fails to perceive the
weakness of an opponent, a wit that
is ever ready, strong common sense
that appeals to the everyday observa-
IlOQ duu 0AH0Fl0uCo Ol Iu0 masses, b
fancy rich in illustration, fund of
anecdote inexhaustible and spontane-
GUS, and humor that laughs down
his opponent and carries away his
audience.
From what we can learn of Judge
Settle, the Radical candidate for Gov
ernor, he is a man of very fair abili y,
but no match on the stump for the
matchless Vance. In addition he is
afflicted with most vulnerable record,
Of which Vance makes most merciless
use, especially when they appear be-
fore the same audience.
The great mistake of Settle was his
agreement. meet Vance ON the stump.
He has found it out now that it is too
late. The appointments have been
made, and he cannot now withdraw
from them without virtual abandon
ment of his candidacy, as has been
done in our own District by the Hon.
Joseph. Segar.
Settle is still catching" Vance, and
every time he catches him. he loses
votes. With an ordinary candidate
the Democrats would have found itta
difficult matter to have carried North
Carolina, but Vance, we think, will
sweep it by 10000 majority. Never
theless our brethren of the Old North
State must not rest on their oars, but
work on with unabated vigor until
the polls close.

THE SOI.YEs sou SfX.

| There is much talk just now among
Republican orators says the Louisville
| Courier journal, concerning the "so!-
ia South, but we do not remember that
any danger was apprei1ended from the
sotldity of the South during the years
when under the gentle pressure of re-
construction and military rule the
South went solid for the Republican
party. Now that the thieving carpet
baggers are disappearing, and the peo-
pie Of the South are placing their own
tru est and most honest men in Office,
great outcry is raised by the Republi>
Can managers over the desire of the
Southern States to regulate their own
affairs, and the apprehension that they
may go "solid " forithe Democratic
Presidential nominees. The South
has shown no recent disposition to
erect itself into "solid " distinct sec
tlOn. All it has striven for is honest
government, aud surely no sensible
man really believes that the truost and
best interests of the whole country
have been impaired because Bullock
and Blodgett in Georgia have been
supplanted by Stephens and Gordon ;
because Spencer's career in Alabama
is well nigh run; because Amss gives
way to Lamar in Mississippi because
Clayton, of Arkansas, must shortly
vacate his seat in the Senate in favor
of Garland, and because in Louisiana
the reign of Packard and Kellogg and
Pinchback totters to it's close. Will |
the cause of civil liberty and Ameri- !
Can freedom be really endangered by |
the overthrow of Patterson and Moses |
and Chamberlain in South Carolina,
and the installation of that incorrupti- |
bly, honest man, Wade Hampton,
though he be au ex-rebel? Does any
one believe that it would be for the
best interest of the country that the
present Dem ocratic Senators and Rep
resentatives from the South should be
by the carpet-baggers and
negroes by whom their seats were
occupied during Republican ascendan-
cy at the South?

An a~ta..tShfnu Rearh

A member of the Humboldt County
Pioneers has a beard five feet in
length. It has been growing ten
years, and had it not been for an at
tack of sickness it would have been
several inches longer. Already it is
almost to the groond, and as the owner
walked our streets recently crowd of
people surrounded him at every turn
and bored him with the usual inter-
negatives incident to such a strange
sight. The pioneer who boasts of this
beard signifies his intention of ex-
posing it to the public gaze only upon
each anniversary of the society of
which he is a respected member.

people. one or more to each family.
Ii reminds one of the time when the
devil went out on high mountain and
offered to deed away all the world,
although he did not own a foot7of land
to his name. The Homestead Law is
a Democratic law and its friends are
in the Democratic ranks.
Tn the face of all this, however, we
learn that Judge Settle harps and
plays on the homestead as if it was
the only thing 20 be talked abont in
the Constitution of '69< and as if it was
in d"nger now. He does not allude to
a single amendment proposed, but
shouts homestead" to make the people
believe the homestead is in danger.
With this sort of dust throwing he
hopes to blind the people to the true
issues and to alarm them into voting
against the amendments and for him.
The mass of the people have learned
% 1ch within the last few years, and
are not SO easily bamboozled now.

The First Marriage in Dead ~ oed
An unusual attraction was offered
in the theatre on Wednesday, the bills
announ cling that lady and gentleman
of Deadwood would be united in
marriage at the end of the play. A
large and expectant audience assem-
bled, and at the conclusion of the first
play the curtain rose and discovered
the principal members of the company
standing on both sides of the stage.
The centre was occupied by Mrs.
AcKelvey, the bride, and Mr.. Morgan,

tired in an elegant evening costume.
MFR. Morgan was jauntily dressed.
Judge Kuykendall performed the cer-

omitting the kiss, he shook the hands
of the pair, and the curtain fell Oh the
