nct at the Court house, on Monday
proceeding the August election, and
among other things passed the follow
ing resolution.
RESOLVED, That Hon. James stu
art Is the choice Of this meeting for
Congrcss.
The delegates elected on the Sltur-
day previous met last Wednesday, at
the Courthouse, in Greensboro, and
organized by cIecting Mr.. J. G. Weir
Chairman. \ controversy arose as to
who We're the properly elected dele
gates from the Lower Town precinct.
The convention resolved itself into
committee Of the whole, and c. Riley
was called to the chair. Pending the
discussion al thiS matter IN adjourn
ment was had until next day, when
they met again. \ difficulty arose as
TO who was Chairman, and 4 fight be-
tween Mr.. Tompkins and Mr.. Rudy
also occurred, which broke up the
whole affair in a disgraceful row.
The thirty-six delegates went off to
themselves and appointed delegates
and instructed for Clay. The others
did the same and instructed for Nc
Kenzie. We are inclined to the opin-
ion from all We can hear that the
county by fair majority went for
Clay, bat undoubtedly Mckenzie had
a very large minority.

As THERE has been some dispute
concerning the conference which
took place on Monday between the
committees of the Democratic and
Independent Conventions on Mon
day, we requested Mr.. II. c. Merritt
to state to us in writing exactly
what did take place. He very
kindly replied with the following
note, which we have no doubt is
perfectly reliable:
DR.. d. r. Wright, Editor Of the
Chronicle:
DEAR SIR: At your request
will state as near as | can what
transpired at the joint conference of
the two committees, one appointed
by the Democratic party, the other
by the Independent party, to confer
and see if a reconciliation or har-
mOniZing of the two parties could
be effected. The committee from
the Democratic party was composed
of VIM. Green, Pitts Powers and II.
c.. Merritt, and from the Indepen-
dent party of B. r. Burchett, John
A. GholsOn and r. H. McFalf. The
two committees met at about half
past u O'Clock, when H. G. Merritt
explained their object in asking for
a conference and calling on the
other committee to state upon what
terms they would harmonic with
the Democratic party. Thereupon
a long discussion ensued, when
they proposed that inasmuch as the
Independent party had adopted the

Republican party. If the debt is
never paid till the Republicans pay
it, we are sorry indeed for our cred
tors.
But going outside of the State
debt as question in politics, and
looking to national issues, there is
scarcely a question in regard to
which the Republican party is not
opposed to all the principles we have
held from our youth up; and itwould
not need the damning record of the
reconstruction days to prevent us
from looking for a moment to the
Republican party as a body which
can on any consideration conciliate
our adhesion.
The Democratic party, then, is, as
it has been ever since we commenced
the study of American politics, our
party. We do not shut our eyes to
its errors, nor do we withhold ouI
criticism when they come before us,
but until we can see another organ.
ization much more attractive to oul
taste and judgment, we stand where
we always have stood, hailing the

FROM HALLIRURTON'S

4 week Ercighted With Gloom.
Truly has it been said "life is
but a mere DREAM" men live and
to or for what purpose is question
to which they seldom give a cor
rect answer. Disease spreads its
wings of sorrow and flies over all
the land, while death, the grim
monster, follows and in his fatal
work sewers the most affectiOnate
ties by which people can possibly
be connected.
The last week of August, 1878, has
passed and gone, and it was indeed
one among the most gloomy periods
that has for many years been the
sad fate of Bethel community to ex-
perience. On Saturday, August
oath, Mr.. David Halliburton, in
company with his wife and chill
dren, all in the very rose of health,
left GAINESVILLE to spend few days
with their country friends and at
tend the protracted meeting at
Bethel. On Wednesday his little

THO Schools.

The schools in GAINESVILLE are
opening well except the University,
which, we fear, has to suffer from
the distressing condition of the
country south of us, from which its
patronage is chiefly derived. Its
numbers, we understand, are still
below sixty. The Academy and
the BrOadhurst Institute each APP
proaches eighty as its quantum.
The public schools, alas F! the trouble
there is not any deficiency of mum
bers, but the means for accOmmo-
dating them. Our report of num-
bers can be made more precise next
week.

platform which was adopted by the
Democratic party, that they thought
that the Independent party should
be allowed to nominate a candi-
date for Representative to the Leg
islature from Montgomery county,
and then the Democratic COnven-
ton adopt their nomination, and
proposed that as the best means of
harmonizing. This proposition was
not entertained for moment by
the committee from the Democratic
party. It was then proposed that
| if the Independents were allowed
to name the candidate for Repre-
sentative they would allow the
Democrats to name the candidates
| for Floater and Senator. This prop
osition was objected to for two
reasons, one because we were OPP
posed to any such trading, the
other because the Democratic party
of Stewart and Robinson had voice
in selecting a Senator and Stewart
had voice in selecting a Floater.
| Mr.. Burchett then proposed that if
they were allowed as full represen-
tatiOn in the joint convention, he
would favor harmonizing, provided
all of his committee were in favor.
This Mr.. McFall opposed, saying
that there was no use in trying to
harmonic; that if the conventions
were to nominate a man that did
not suit him and his neighbors they
would not vote for him. But final
Iy, when the time for conference
had almost expired (the two conven-
tions having adjourned till2o'clCck),
he said that he would agree to re-
port that to the convention and see
if they would ratify it. The COM
mittee from the Democratic party
reported their action to the conven-
ton and recommended that the
the terms of harmonizing be re-
jected, which report was adopted.
Very respectfully,
H. c.. MERRITT.
