which has been resting him for some time.
He was also charged with attempting to pois-
on the we'll of Mr.. j. j. Laughinghosue. One
witness Mr.. John Campbell, swore that
w. B. Paramour, the accused, hired him
to put strychnine in Mr.. LIS we'll. He was

AS the President will doubtless consult
Gen. Francis A. Walker, the superinten-

should address their applications fortified
with such testimonials of their character and
fitness as they may choose to give. Persons
wishing to act as enumeratOrs SHOULD apply
to the district supervisor. There will be
one census taker for every 1000 inhabitants,
and the compensation will probably vary
from $3.50 to $3.50. All work is required to
be lone during June. The supervisors will
probably be appointed within the next three
months.

ABoNISABLF--A telegram from Wash
ingtOn last week said: Tive hundred
and fifty colored emigrants frosl North
Carolina passed through the city 10 day. on
their way to Indiana. Fifty Of them were
furnished with through tickets, and the
National Emigrants Aid Society is endeav-
oring TO raise fun4sto pay for the transpe--
tatlon o. the remainder 10 thei: destina-
ton
Another telegram says: John Scott, a
leading colored man from North Carolina.
left for Indiana tonight in charge "f a com
pany OF l25 colored emigrants. He reports
that 400 will be ready TO leave North Caro-
lima when he returns and reports 10 them
in regard to a location. He says that at
least two thousand will leave the section of
North Carolina where he resides before the
spring. The railroads, at the suggestion
of planters, attempted to aid in keeping
these people in the State by raising the fare
to Washington from So to SO"
This is a villainous scheme to turn the
State upon which the next election will
probably turn, and upon which election the
fate of the Republic in great measures hangs.
Two hundred and fifty votes may be them
selves turn the scale. Trueif there be decon-
cy among the white Republicans of Indiana
they will themselves ~repudiate the mig
SciS, anu SFe away more votes tlan WeTo
gained by this ~disreputable importation.
Observe that we do not oppose the move
ment. We have no objection to the de-
parture of as many as wish to go. The bet
ter class, the industrious class, will remain.
and there will be no lack even if one half
the whole colored population should go.
But the true friends of the negro must pity
his delusion.
The Charlotte Observer says: Two weeks
ago a party of colored people left Wayne
county for Green Castle, Ind. Three days
since one of the party sent a telegram to a
friend in Goldsboro, asking him to tell the
co,ored people that there were no houses
there for them, and not to come. Speaking
of the forlorn condition of the immigrants,
the Messenger says that they are even with
out sufficient clothing, a lot Of their bag
gage, consisting Of beds, boxes, &c, being
still stored in the warehouse of the Atlantic
& North Carolina Railroad, at Goldsboro,
waiting for a shipping directions and pay
ment of freight charges.

KINDS WORDS From OUR FRIENDs.-The

KINDS WORDS From OUR FRIENDs.-The
Goldsboro Mail says :-"Our Brother Dowd,
of the Farmer and Mechanic, made us a
pleasant call on Monday. There is no bet
ter agricultural paper in the South than the
Farmer and Mechanic, and we are truly
grateful to learn that it is doing we'll"
The Moore Lnder says:-''We
ed while at the fair our brother of the Far
mer and Mechanic j. W.. Dowd who is one
of the best newspaper men in the State, al
ways hard at work for subscriptions. The
Farmer and Mechanic is an excellent paper
and every one Of these classes should take it
without being asked"
One Of the best known farmers of Vir
ginia, and almost equally well known in
this State, writes:-'To say that | am
pleased with the Farmer and Mechanic does
not begin to express my appreciation of this
able and interesting journal. | am deeply
absorbed in the ''Three Years in Battle"
and desire to follow it to the end. A partici-
pant in some of the scenes described, it
awakens many sad as we'll as pleasing recol-
l%ections. Then you tell us more that we
wish to know about North Carolina than

Many Men of Many Minds.

The Greenville Express thinks the Colds
boro Messenger the best weekly paper in the
State, while the Wilmington STIR accords
that honor to the Oxford Free apce.-Tar-
boro Southerner. We are not qoted cor
rectly. We said in Granville. 1t is a capital
paper. Will. Star.
1t would not be easy to decide which is
the best weekly in the State. ''Compari-
Ons"-says the proverb-''are odious."
but to compare newspapers it is necessary
to consider other circumstances than in
trinsic merit. For the Tarboro region, it
would be hard to make a better paper than
the SOutheyne5 and for the mountain re-
gion, the Citizen fills the bill e1cellently.
But were the subscription lists of the two
papers exchanged there would be great dis
satisfaction. So the Granville, the Orange.
the Greensboro, the Charlotte, and a score
other Of our State papers seem to us un-
usually we'll conducted; but they differ in
merit according to location and relative
needs. The Wilmington Star and the
Charlotte Observer are exceedingly newsy,
yet distinctly different in their style of
news. The Goldsboro Null and Messenger
are very different from the Southern Home
and Democrat, yet all are journals Of which
any State might be proud. The FARMER
AND MECHANIC frequently omits articles Of
great local interest, or articles which the
Editor would like to print, or articles
which the daily papers of the city PRINT
because the bulk of our reauers are scat
tered literally from the mountains to the
sea, and are of a particular class which we
may call family people. Hence they require
a special class of matter. Thus we should
not think of printing a long political speech,
or the Supreme court opinions, or the Off
cial documents in any case. Many Of our
patrons would find them very dull reading.
For the same reason this paper does not in
%terfere with any local paper, being general
in its character.
