OF Strobe, went to the door in his
night clothes Che and his family having
! been retired to bed for three or four
hours) and opened it little way, tha,
he might hear what Strobe had to say
to him. AS soon as the door was thus
slightly ajar, Strobe showed it vic
lently back and, with Whitney. enter
ed the house and told Mr.. Sykes that
he was under arrest, reading to him
the warrant therefor. Mr.. Sykes being
entlreiy astonished and almost dumb
founded, knew hardly what to say, but
offered to give bail for his appearance
before whomsoever and whenever his
appearance might be demanded, men,
| tloning as his sureties some ten or q
dozen Of the most substantial and rec,
specialize citizens of Wilmington. He
then offered to deposit the sum of one
Thousand dollars, the amount men
toned in the bail bond, if they would
give him fifteen minutes time, and
would go with him a few squares
where the money could be procured.
All tn jsa Off to give bail were re-
lected or unheeded, the officers telling
Mr.. Sykes that there was but one man
in Wilmington, Mayor Canaday, whom
they would take. But before they
gave Mr.. Sykes an opportunity of ap-
plying to Mayor Canaday to bail him,
which the Mayor said he would will
llngly have done, they had taken Mr..
Sykes to the Jail door, and then, pre-
tending that the Mayor was out of
town. locked him up in prison, where
he remained until his friends the next
morning learned from his distressed
family of his miserable situation, and
relieved him.
For this conduct Strobe was tried,
convicted and sentenced to two years
imprisonment, and is now out of Jail
only because his case was taken to the
Supreme Court on an appeal.
Stacy \anAmringe, the magistrate
under whose orders Strobe acted, is
Il member of the Board of County
Commissioners that appointed Strobe
to perform the responsible duties of
Registrar in the First Ward.
Like the appointment of James
Heaton, the simple statement of the
facts connected with the appointment
of the negro Strobe bring out the enor-
nifty of the transaction in such strik-
ing colors that it needs, no comment to
see how shameful and disgraceful it
Is, and how subversive of every prin-
ciple of law and order.
Such is Radical rule in New
Hanover !

THE DUrY OF UUa CANDIDATES
EVEHYNEE HERE.

A.N r. fA w ER A a..
We are truly glad to see our Raleigt
cotenporaries enforcing so squarol0
+ba doctrine we have so often main
famed that the support OF the amend
ments is question of party d'scl
Mine and fealty. The Sentinel says
Tho State Convention Of the Dem
ocratic party endorsed nnd recon-
m.pded The amendments to the Con-
stitutiOn which are before the people
for ratification or rejection. They are
nart of the Democratic platform, and
It il the duty of the Democr can
d,datrs to call the attention of the
,,annle to these amend ments, to ex-
nl.in their provisions and effect and to
urpe their adoption.
We regard the adoption of these
o,,andmpnts as one of the m ost i'm ;
,,0rtant issues of the campaign. The
Canbv Constitution, under which we
at present live, is not suited to the
wants of our people. 1t has proved
burden to them from its inception.
B,gotten in fraud, conceived in cor
ruption, and brought forth in iniquity,
it has ever proved a STUN bling block
in the way of the material advance
ment and prosperity of the State.
Under it's provisions were male posi-
BILE the stupendous fiauds of 1868.
and the degradation Of the judicial
ermine, which made the decisions of
our courts marketat lie commodities.
of the State Of North Carolina have
never ratified it by a free vote.
Thrust down our throats by bayonets,
or foisted upon us by the skill in
counting of a military Governor, it
has never been an exponent of the
wishes of our people.
For these reasons, if for no other,
the amendments should be adopted.
But in addition to this they carry with
in themselves even more potent argu-
mentB in their favor. By their pro-
visions the intermixture of the races is
made impossible, and the white and
black schools of the state are eeparat-
ed By their provision the business
of the courts will be expedited, and
suitors will not, as present. be COM
PEELED to wait for years, and until the
court costs have in many instances
mounted up to greater sum than the
amount in issue before their causes are
decided. And by their provisions
thieves perjurers and other felons are
marked men, and are not allowed to
exercise the right of suffrage until in
consequence of good behavior they are
restored to citizenship by the courts,
thus offering a premium for honesty.
For these reasons we call upo our
candidates throughout the state to urge
upon the people the adoption of these
amendments, and We call upon the
people to vote for them.

A CONVICT AN REGrsrRA.s.

Some days ago we called attention
to the fact that James Heaton, Clerk
of the Superior Court, had been ap-
pointed by the County Commissioners
as poll holder at the approaching
election, notwithstanding the fact that
he had been arraigned. tried, convicted
and sentenced for two separate
offences, the Judgment of the court III
both cases being only suspended by an
appeal to the Supreme Court. AS
We stated on that occasion in one
case he was sentenced to three months
impris >nment in jail, the longest pun
ishment the law permitted; in the
other case he was sentenced to the pen
ltentiary for three years, and is now at
large, instead of being in the peniten-
tiary. only because his case has gone,
on appeal. to the Supreme Court.
Our attention has been called to
another case which places the conduct
OF the Commissioners, in their ap-
pointment of registrars and poll hold
efs. still more plainly before the pub
lie eye. We allude to the appointment
of the negro @. 81. Strobe as registrar
in the First Ward. This man was tried
aud convicted at the last term of New
Hanover Superior Court for an out
rage committed on the person of Mr..
T. P. Sykes, and sentenced by the
court to imprisonment for two years.
It may not be improper to reclte in
brief the history Of this extraordinary
case.
On the Sth of Decemb Der last negro
named Mayo entered house belonging
to Mr.. Sykes, on Sixth between Blader
and Harnett streets, as tenant at 4
rental of ten dollars per month. Mayo
had failed entirely to pay any rent foi
his occupation, up to the oath oi
February, on which day Mr.. Sykes
gave him notice that unless he paid
his rent he would on the Tuesday fol-
lowing, the 29th of February, eject
him. But before Tuesday morning
came, aided by the authority of JUS
tlce VanAmringe aud constables Strobe
and Whitney. he had put Mr.. Sykes
in jail.
On the night of the 9th of Febru
ary Justice VanAmringe, accompanied
10y Strobe and Whitney, went TO the
house that Mayo was occupying,
aroused him from drunken sleep at
the hour of IL O. clock at night, read
10 i'm an oath and warrant already
prepared, had him to swear to it on a
Bible that the Squire carried in his
pocket for the purpose, made him
Sign it with pen and ink. which was
likewise taken along for the purpose,
and then delivered these papers to
those men, Strobe and Whitney. with
the direction to arrest MIR. Sykes al
once. They accordingly went to the
residence of Mr.. Sykes, on Mulberry
between Front and Second streets, al
the hour of half past 12 o'clock.
Arriving at the house, they knocked
and called for Mr.. Sykes, who, hear.
