THE BLACK VorE DIvIDED.-Dr. Rcd6eld,
a republican,, and the correspondent OF tie Gin
ciuuati Commercial, republican paper, was IN
Alabama during the late election there, and
has arrived at the conclusion that at last the
black vote in the South has been divided. He
says that Marinso county in that State has
heretofore been ono OF the republican strOug

to roll 10 republican majority Of irom two to

dwindlcd down to 800 and the democratic
swclled to 2,59S, for the reason that fully one
thousand colorcd men voted the democratic
ticket, aud another thousand did DOT vote al
all. Bullock county contains ! ,223 whites aud
1927 blacks. la 1874 the republican ticket
in that county had ,5U3 votes, aud al the re-

from Ssh in 1874 to , 9l9 in 1876. AS there

went to the democrats. Iu Hale county, oon-

HE Poor AND THE Poor HATEs.-Onc OF
the first objects OF municipal conceInment alter
the organization of the new town government
in l7SO, was the care of the poor Before that
tho care of the poor within the town had de-
yolved upon the county OF Fairfax, 10 when
Alexandria was situated. At first paupers en-
titled to public charity were lodged in private
houses, and there keep, paid out Of the pub
lie funds. About 1890 the present poor and
work house system was established, aud IN 1895
Dennis Ramsay, Abraham Faw and Fraucls
Peyton drew up rules for its government. 1t
had, as now, a keeper, and was under the es
pec,al charge of a Council c1mmlttcc on the
moor, whose duties were, however, much more
onerous than they now are. Each three months
a new committee OF thee WAS appointed, who
we're required to visit the poor house and work
house at least once week during their con-
tiuuauce in office, to Inspect particularly the
state OF those III each house, to direct 10 what
manner they should be provided Tor, TO order
what materials should be- procured for then
labor aud to make such regulations relative to
the conduct of the keeper as they thought most
conducive TO the public interest, anu at the
end Of every week to settle the accounts OF the
keeper.
1t seems to have been at first supposed,
singular as such superstition may appear IN
the light OF experience, that the poor aud work
house would, 10 considerable exteut, be
self supporting institution, aud might be made,
like the present gas works, to pay an oVerplus
into the city treasury. The committee on the
Door were authorized TO give the keeper at the
cod of each week IAN orier on the treasurer
of the corporation Tor any balance WHICH may
appear due, or 10 case she tees and profits oil
labor shall exceed the expenses to receive and
pay into the treasury the amount OF such ex-
cess" At first there was no corporation relief
of paupers outside the poor house, but ny de-
grees the iurnlsning of wood, medicine, and
medical attendance grew into public charities,
and they have long grown to be by virtue OF
special enactments and usage, humane customs
Of the town.
Uader the present arrangements tor the care
of the poor, the committee on the poor have
charge of the poor house aud its management
This committee is composed Of two Aldermen
and two members Of the Common Council.
The Outdoor poor are 10 the charge OF four
trustees OF the poor, one trom each ward, chosen
by the City Council, but not members OF either

Mr.. EDIToR:-This is a place of
considerable local Importance, though
it is not generally known to the out
side world. There are between four
and five hundred inhabitants within
one.half mile square, one hundred of
whom are between six and twenty -one
years old, and L have been told that
there is 100 in that number under six
years old. You can see at once the
place is healthy. There are about
twenty-one store~houses here, and
some sixteen of them are occupied by
merchants, BARRIERS, eating saloons,
miIliners, etc., etc. There are two
churches, Methodist and Presbyterian.
The Masonic Order, the Order of Red
Men, Friends of Temperance and
Good Templars are all here. So much
for the morality of the place. We
have a barber, two boot and shoe
makers, a good hotel. two private
boarding houses, one steam saw and

blacksmith shop. and the company
shops of the Carolina Central Rail
road. We also have two good doc

How a cricket saved n Ship.

Tn Southleys "History of Brazil" I"
he tells how Cabez de Vaca was in q
great ship, going to South America
with 200 men and 30 horses, and after
they had crossed the equator the COM
mander discovered that there were
only three casks of water left. He
gave orders to make for the nearest
land, and for three days they sailed
for the coast. A poor sick soldier,
who had left Cadiz with them, brought
a grillo or ground cricket with him,
thinking it's cheerful voice wolld
amuse him on the long. dreary voyage.
But to his great disappointment the
little insect was quiet all the way.
The fourth morning after they had
changed the ships course the cricket,
who knew what she was about. set up
her shrillest note. The soldier at once
gave warning to the officers in charge
of the vessel, and they soun saw high,
Jagged rocks just ahead of them. The
watch had been careless and the great
ship in few moments would have
been dashed to pieces on the ledge if
this puny creature had not scented the
land and told them of their danger.
Then they cruised along for some
days and the cricket sang for them
every night just as cheerfully as if in
far off Spain till they got to their des-
tined port. the island of Catalina.

the Democrats are mostly those who
have bought land since The war and
wish to know how it is that the taxes
are 80 constantly increasing and where
their hard earned money gees when it
Is paid over to the tax collectors. This
sentiment amongst the colored voters
ls increasing, growing, and it is to
suppress this natural inquiry that the
leaders are anxious avoid discussion
before them. There is another ele-
ment which will show in favor of the
Democrats during this contest. Since
the war large class of young white
men have come of age wLo have stood
aloof from the former elections. They
are to man Democrats, and are now
enrolling in the Tilden and Hampton
clubs everywhere. This will increase
the white vote several thousand. while
it is doubted if the negroes car. poll as
many votes as they did in 1865. Alto
gether the nominations have done
good SO far and now that the whites
have party with a declaration of
principles fairly laid down there is
point around which to rally and they
VII come up to the issue in solid
front.

CLINTON, N. G Aug. 81, 1876.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Not knowing whether
you have any account of the work of
the County Convention which met at
Clinton last Saturday, 10Th inst, and
of our flag raising on that day, [ send
you hasty sketch.
Many delegates to the convention
and interested visitors reached the viii
age Friday evening, and by 10 o'clock
Saturday, the streets were crowded
with an enthusiastic throng. At that
hour the Tilden and Vance club raised
their pole and flag near the court
house square. A stirring speech was
delivered by our talented young towns
man, Ed. T. Boykin. and the saluting
of the flag was conducted by that old
war horse. John r. Beaman. Every
thing passed off pleasantly, and the
immense concourse of people seemed
to catch new inspiration from the oc-
casion and fresh courage for the cam
paign.
After the flag raising was over the
County Convention assembled in
Faison's hall, and it can be truthfully
said that a more harmonious conven-
tion never met in North Carolina. The
ticket selected was:
For the Senate IL Stewart.
For the House--Dr James A BiZzell
and Nicholas 81 FennelI.
For rSheriff-Nathan Barefoot.
For Register of Deeds-Josiah Rob
insOn.
For County Treasurer-Amma B
Chesnutt.
For Coroner-Dr A M Lee.
For County Surveyor -- Cooper.
For County COMMISSIONER r
Beaman, X Morisey, Robert Crump-
ler, Col l. A Powell and J @ Hines.
1t is the general opinion that we have
an unusually strong ticket.

alton, Laurinburg is desirable place

going on, and have ',een told that
one other will open the 1st of Sep-

Politics have not reached any great
height yet. We have not had any
political speaking in this county. It
seems that the candidates and electors
are afraid Ut this couuty-but we wilf

Friday, and then think we will have

Tomorrow ut WhiteviIle two d EN- G
cratic Conventions will be held that is
to say, the Senatorial District Conven-
tion to nominate candidate for Sena-
tor from the District composed of Co
lumbus and Robson counties, and
the County Convention to nominate
county candidates.
The JOURNAL feels natural interest
In all that pertains to Columbus coun .
ty, not merely because there it has re-
ceived a generous and unwavering sup
port, but because the county has dis
played q Zeal and devotion to the
cluse of the Democratic party that has
no superior in the State: and as it has
been in the past so it will be in the
future.
TO bring about such result has
not been the work of any one man or
OF any dozen men. but of the whole
people working together for the good
of their country. But without dis
paragement to the many others whose
names so easily come to us, it may be
truly said, that no one has done his
part more faithfully than VAN RIoHARD-
SON. He has served his county both
at home and in the halls of the Legis-
lature at Raleigh. In the Legislature
his worth was always felt and recog-
nized, as the journals of that body will
show by the prominent positions as
signed to him Oh important committees;
and his conduct therein reflected
credit upon his county as we'll as upon
himself. In matters of legislation he
was both cautious and determined.
which with his popular. pleasant man
ners, gave him an influence equalled by
few members of either of the Legisla-
lures to which he belonged. Such
man ought not to be permitted to re-
main at home. We say this much be-
cause we have heard that Capt. Rich
ardson does not desire a re nomination.
But this is no time to consult his
wishes in this matter. The legislation
to be perfected this winter IS of too
important character to be entrusted
to any but the most experienced and
skillful hands.
Never were greater interests at stake
and never were our best men more
needed to guard them for all sections,
but especially is this true of the un-
fortunate counties that now live under
negro rule. Counties like Columbus
must help those like New Hanover and
they can not do so better than by send
ing to the Legislature men like Capt.
Richardson.
