North Carolina Citizen.
1t is not our habit to enter into the
merits of personal quarrels, but our
attention having been drawn to a
scandalous article in a late issue Of
the New York Tribune, rejecting
upon one of our best citizens, and
by implication upon this community,
we deem it our duty to lay the truth
OF the matter before our readers, and
expose, as has often been dore, the
manner in which the stalwart press
of the North manufacture their So
called Southern outrages."
One Henry S. Adams, of New
York, lately arrived in AshevilIe,
applied to Mrs. H. C. Hunt, one of
our most respected and delightful
lady residents, for board for himself
and family during the summer. Mrs.
Hunt was not inclined to accommo.
date them, fearing, from appear
ances, that Adams was too much of
an invalid, and she had not made
arrangements for serving others than
those in health and who were here
for pleasure alone. But Adams, or
his authorized agent, assured Mrs.
Hunt that his ailment was only a
temporary one, caused by malaria,
and he would not need any extra at
tention beyond week at the far.
therest. Upon this assurance from
him, Mrs. Hunt finally agreed to re-
ceive them. For three weeks no |
persons could have been louder in
their praises of the comforts and the
delightfuIness of their surroundings,
or more profuse in their thanks to
Mr.. and Mrs. Hunt than this same
Adams family. The change came
over the scene when Mrs. Hunt un-
aertook to remind them Of the terms
upon which she had originally con.
sented to receive them, and that the
week had been extended to three,
with no possibility Of the endless ex-
actions and services of this confirm
ed invalid coming TO an end, and
slaimed that the moderate sum Of

twelve years old on the highway

Some fears are entertained that
an effort will be made by the Repub-
hcan managers of the Census Bureau
to make false returns, or rather a
false compilation of the census taken
in the Southern States. When it is
remembered that the census returns
are under the control of a party
which manipulated the election re>
turns in 1876, these fears are not
altogether groundless.
