Last Saturday was centennial hOl-
iday" with the most of our citizens, and
yet it was not day of rest. You could
see people, with mattOcks, spades and
] shovels, scattered all along Main street,
from the river to the Gravel Hill Gene
terry, distance of one mile, setting out
forest trees.
Some daring scoundrel entered the
house of George n. Swisher last Thurs
day night, and stole his pants, contain
ing his nocket-book, from the side of
the bed v h re he was sleeping. George
was undoubtedly surprised the next
morning when he fonnd his pants gone
and window open in the back part of
the house. He was not long In making
up his opinion that he had been robbed,
and was soon looking for the stolen
property (if it had been us we could not
have left the house until we borrowed
pair of pants). He found the pants
short distance from the house; but the
purse containing $40 was not there. He
tracked the thief about five miles, but
did not find him ut home.
Several of our young men attended
the meeting of the Farmers Club" at
Addison last Saturday evening. Our
informant states that they were highly
entertained, saw plenty of pretty girls
and heard one young man make ar
rangements to visit "Loguean" the fol-
lowing day.
Our young folks will give literary
entertainment in about two weeks.
John Ray received four votes for COIL

2,ll0 pounds. He was of the Durham

IT appears that coalition has
been formed between the Democrats
and the whisky thieves for the ruin
Of Secretary BRIsTow. In the Ian
guage OF the Cincinnati Commercial,
''the malignity of the rascals is in
tense, and there is no lie too mean
for their invention" The latest at
tack upon the Secretary is one in con-
nectlon with the Texas and Pacific
Railroad. The Congressional Com
mittee went secretly to work with its
witnesses, keeping from Gen. Bris-
tow all knowledge of what was going
on. However, he got wind of the
Star-Chamber examination, and
thereupon addressed a letter to the
committee, asking to be heard, and
protesting against secrecy in such
proceedings. He demands full and
square investigation, and that it be
done in the light of day. This is the
talk of an honest man, says the Gin
cinnati Gazette, while the commit
tees sway is the way of sneaks and
assassins." Every attack made upon
the Secretary only brightens his
fame.

Gov. Warmoth having for private
reasons declined the Republican nom
ination for Congress from the first
district, the Congressional convention
reassembled and placed in nomination
Hon. VIM. NJ. Burwell of New Orleans.
The selection can not be too highly
commended. Judge Burwell is a ma
tive of Virginia, but has resided many
years in New Orleans and probably
no man iii the South is more thorough
" conversant with the statistics, con-
dition and wants of our commerce
and agriculture and necessarily of the
people engaged therein. A man OF
talent, culture and spotless integrity,
he will challenge the respect of the
opposition and draw to his support
not only the full Republican strength
of the first district, but the votes of
many not identified with our party,
who rank the advancement of ma
terial interests above political con-
siaefations. Judge Burwell is well
advanced in years, but his physical
and mental organizations retain their
pristine rig0r, as daily evidenced By
bis powerful articles in the New Or
leans Repsdiieaa, npea the editorial
staff of which journal he occupies a
leading position. He viii make a
vigorous canvass, and there is strong
reason to hope that be will be able to
ovefcom E the registered Democratie

Trouble between blacks and whites
occurred early in the week near Sill
verton, South Carolina, on the
Georgia border, said to have origi-
mated in an assault by colored men
upon Mrs. Aionzot Harley, a white
woman. Warrants for the guilty par
ties were issued, but according to the
telegraphie reports some 200 of their
celored friends resisted the attempt
of constable and posse to make the
arrest. Large parties OF whites and
blacks assembled under arms and q
collision seemed imminent. but was
prevented by consultation among
leaders of the opposing forces, each
side agreeing TO .disband, the parties
accused of assault being turned over
to the custody of the commanding
officer of a small force of troops or
deyed to the scene of disturbance.
During the excitement several skiy-
mishes took place and the killing OF
swo whites and six blacks resulted.

Is THIS THE PLANq

of the present candidate of the Dem
eeratic party for Governor of Louisi=
ana that he has long been ambitious
of occupying place upon the Su-
preme Bench of the State /; that he
has not taken an active part in poll
tics previous to this campaign, and
has never expressed or otherwise
evinced desire to attain any public
position other than the one we have
mentioned. In confirmation of this
we have a. the fact that he did not
seek or desire the gubernatorial NOM
nation, and almost to the last mo-
ment resisted the entreaties OF his
friends to allow his name to be used
for the position; l2.l his statement,
in a recent letter to friend in New
Orleans, that he would not, as re-
ported, accept an election to the
United States Senate in case of his
accession to the Office of Governor,
because he had no ambition for po-
litical life; 81 the lugubrious witt
cism he is said to have perpetrated
when, in addition to the amputation
of the left arm, he suffered the loss
of his left leg said he, essentially,
My lifelong ambition is frustrated

To all observing men it must be
apparent that Gen. Nichols has as

the fact is patent and incontrovert-

Accepting the evidences adduced OF
the aversion of Gen. Nichols to po-
litical life and of his long entertained
desiie to don the judicial ermine, and
considering also his peculiar attitude

formed the conclusion that it is not
his intention to serve out his term OF
Office, if elected Governor. We believe
he viii resign and accept at the hands
of his successor, Mr.. Wilt, an APP

Belknap's Disgrace.

The entire country was startled last
week by the report of the damaging
evidence discovered by the Congress
ional Committee against Belknap, late
Secretary of War. Taking brides for the
appointment of post traders in the
army, is the crime of Which he stands
convicted. His case certainly presents
one of the most disgraceful pages in
our hlstory,'apd he richly deserves the
punishment that is likely to be meted
out to him. Belknap's fall is charge
able to the corruption of Washington
society, and the ambition and extrava-
gance Of Mrs. Belknap.

characters of some of our best and
most prominent citizens. The inter-
ference Of that paper in the first in

was inexcusable to say the least; but
when in addition, it denounced tho

PRESIDENT GRANT has instructed
the Attorney General TO institute
criminal proceedings at once against
General Beknap, the man Marsh, and
all others concerned in the disgraceful
business recently exposed in connection
with the Secretary of War and the
post-trader iniquity. The House will
present its articles Of impeachment to
the Senate, and the trial will probably
proceed at once. The first question to
be decided, however. will be whether
an officer Of the Gavernmont can be
impeacbed after he has resigned and
his resignation has been accepted.
