A Plueky Elopennent.

The Elizabeth City On. Co. neigh.
borhood is 10 n state OF great social
excitement over the recent sensational
clopement and marriage Of gushing
young couple. Jonathan Ivy has for
some time been counting the hand
some daughter of respected ard well.
TODD citizen. The young girls name
was Florence Seymark, Her parents
did not approve of young Ivy's ad-
vauces, and finally forbade him their
house. The lovers, however, managed
to meet clandes,inel., and had made
up their minds to OIL elopement, which
was to have occurred one night. Old
man Seymark, by some means or 9TH
or, got wind Of the proposed escapade,
and went cunning that day for Jona-
than. Coming up with the gay young
lover, he blazed away at him, shooting
him 10 the left shoulder, and inhic,ing
painful but not dangerous wound.
Florence was overwhelmed with grief
by her fathers hasty conduct, but her
passion for her wounded lover was in
teusiied 3 thousandfold. She sent
him letter telling him she would fly
with him that nigbt.it he would come
for her. So that night young Joy put
in an appearance with q close carriage,
about one o'clock. Miss Florence was
in a terrible dilemma, for her cruel
parents, to insure against any esca-
pade, had not only locked the girl in.
10 her room, but had also taken away
every stitch Of her clothing. But she
was not to be bataed. She made
rope out of tho sheets Of her bed and
let herself down to the ground, with
no other garment but night dress
covering her blooming charms. She
told the coachmau to "look the other
way" and, after her lover had helped
her into the carriage and covered up
her shivering form with the carriage
robes, she made him sit on the box
with the coachman. They drove to
the house of a friend, where Florence
was attired in proper garments, and
then proceeded to the house OF SYM
pathiziug preacher, some distance
from town, where the lovers were
speedily united in wedlock.

THE EXODUS INVESTIGATION

Senator Voorhees, exodus Investigate
ing committee is progressing slowly with
its work. It was organized to convict
the republicans of being at the bottom of
this business for political purposes, but so
far has fallen short of establishing the
point aimed at. The witnesses thus far
have been mainly democrats whose bias
has been very strong against the negroes,
but they have failed to show thats the
blacks have been moving from the south
for any other reason than that they want
ed to, as was their right, because they
deemed it best for their interests to do so.
The Inter Ocean Washington correspon-
dent notes one exception to this class of
witnesses, who was called the other day,
in the person of Judge Badger, of North
Carolina, a native of the state, whose
father was United States senator thirty
years ago. Judge Badger is a man OF
high standing and great influence il
North Carolina, and was called as wit
ness because Voorhees, had heard that he
was opposed to the exodus. In answer
to a question, Judge Badger admitted
that he was opposed to the exodus; that
he thought it unwise and injurious both
for the State and the negroes, and at this
Voorhees, was very much gratifed; but
his temper changed when Badger went
on to say that he thought the United
States government ought to be strong
enough to stop the exodus by protecting
the negroes in their political and civil
rights. He gave history of the negro
prosecutions in North Carolina from the
close of the war to date, giving instance
after Instance to show that the race had
no protection, and could not obtain JUS
| tice in either State or the Federal courts
that the system of labor was as bad as
slavery, and in some respects worse, and
| citing quotations from the laws of the
state to show that the oppression was
legalized. Judge Badger was subpenaed
as democratic witness, but his evidence
will make an excellent republican cam
paign document. He came fully fortiti-
ed by facts to show the actual condition
of affairs which has caused the exodus.
So strong a statement has never been
heard before a congressional committee
for years. Senator Voorhees, endeavored
to shut him off, but Badger succeeded in
placing on record the real cause of the
exodus. No amount of pettifogging on
the part of the committee can make it ap-
pear that the negroes have fair treatment
in the south, nor that they have not am
pie and sufficient reasons for emigrating
north
