Editor, Patron: The cotton crop
in this section has been very much
damaged, first by the excess of rain
during last month and first of this

farmers here all agree that the crop
has been damaged half, and some
think more. Fraternally,

portion of the county where the
Grange has been dormant some
time. The community was invited,
and there being a good turn out 1t
was suggested that the County
Grange be dispensed with for that
day and hold public meeting, and
it being called to order, committee
to select speakers for the day was
appointed, who made the following
selections: Bros. Berry, Murphy,
Macarthur, Reynolds, Graham and
Others, and others were called on,
and young Bro. Eady, from Cen
terville, was among those who re.
sponded. The brothers represented
the Grange SO forcibly to the indus
trial classes of that community, that
the good people could not hold back
any longer; they came forward, had
their names enrolled, and Bro. Nc
Arthur at once organized Grange.
From this you can have an idea OF
the success of the Order in Newton.

a few days since, while in Chatta-

Republicans Of that burg were OF the
Choice for President, rs follows: First,
we asked a prominent county official
how the Republicans "stood." Said lac
IL have talked with all the leading men
of the county, and I'll tell you old
Hamilton Is solid for Blaine"
We were then fully convinced, but
fearing he might be mistaken, we
thought it no harm to ask a newspaper
man, who answercd-"Well, / have
talked with nearly every man in the
county, and I'll just be blamed If nine
ty-nine out of every hundred Amt red
hot for Grant"
Going on still further, we PROFOUND
ed the same question 10 a leading law
yer who we knew to be well posted
(same as the other two) and he answer
cd, "oh there is really but one nan in
the field, and / find this section to be
almost unanimous for him, and that
man is Sherman"
We didn't.interyiew any, others but
supposed the remainder would be as
unanimous as 5i!ese three.

MaIstead Defines lIis Position

From the Cincinnati Commercial:
Wa say we would prefer Sherman. lie
has done more for the good times upon
the country than any other man, and
it would be a handsome and appropri-
ate recognition Of services Of eminent
usefulness to elect him President. But
we have said freely.that we would sup
port Blaine chccrfully or Washburn
with enthusiasm, while a sense of duty
might be strong enough to bring US to
the support of Conkling. We have
more than one string to our bow. We
are not crying anything to beat Grant
but we believe anybody could beat him
for the feeling against a third term
viii be found too formidable for a par
~ organization to bear.
1t is Il noticeable fact that a large
proportion of the old politicians are
opposed to John Sherman. But intclli-
gent thoughtful, republicans every
where, have full confidence in his abil-
ity and honesty, and would be glad to
cast their votes for him for President
next fall.

Carpenter on Fitz John Porter.

Porter, a Federal officer, who wal
Court-martialed at the close of The wal
Tor cowardice, and who is now apply
ing u Congress to be Ieinstated In the
army, has had his case before the Sen
ate during the past week, and H. a
speech, Senator Carpenter wisconsin
concluded as follows:
"IfPortcr should go down upon the
avenue and kill u man, he would be
hanged. IL is Il life FOR life upon this
administration Of justice. What shall
be done with a man who, by his crlnii-
nil conduct, sacrifices the lives Of 20,
900 soldiers? The battle ordered was
necessary in consequence OF his neglect
Of duty, cost us 10000 lives. Upon this
udmeaSurmeut, IL Porter had 10000
lives they were all forfeited to the
state. The people of my " state, !
know, felt it keenly. The loss fell
heavily upon us. What was called the
"iron brigade" IN the army of the Po-
tomac, made up OF three Wisconsin reg
imcuts and one Indiana regiment, as
brave a body of men as ever were on q
| battlciield-a body of men who, for
bravery aud soldierly bearing and con-
duct, would not suffer by comparison
| with the Old Guard of Napoleon, ia one
of the fights in that neighbOrhoOd lost
IN ore hour and five minutes $40 men
killed and wounded. Every train OF
ears that penetrated the interior states
for months afterwards came trcigAted
! with the remains Of our slaughtered
soldiers. They were piled up in pine
boxes around our depOts like merchan-
disc, and sleep now in green graves that
dot every hin and every green valley
in Wisconsin. 0ur people will not
soon forget Fitz John Porter. They
will never forgive him. The would not
soon forget me, and never forgive me,
if | should stand rs their represc nta-
tive and vote to put Fitz John Porter
back where he would have been if he
had not fallen and pay him all that he
would have had II he had remained in
the service and served his country faith
fully. Queer things are being done
these times. This thing may be done by
the senate, but it will not be done by
my vote. lshould regard it as Il dis
graceful act OF congress 10 10. Not
outstanding, Mr.. President, COILS
will be done.
1t may be that even this last travesty
upon justice is necessary. They tell us
that "whom The gods would destroy
they first make mad 1t may be, al
though it seems impossible, that the
democrats are not mad enough yet to
insure their total destruction. This
last act may be needed to convince the
American people that to insure Il prop
er discrimination between virtue and
vice, to fix a proper punishment upon
dislGyalty and to hold rebellion in
check, we need in the white house once
more the steady hand, cool head, and
patriotic heart of L. S. Grant. [Grcat

SENATOR BLAIyE's REPUB-
LICANISM.
Some misrepresentation Cor
TeCte0.

Its not Necessary at this late day "a
present evidence Of Senator Blainc's
devotion to Republican principles. In
every campaign for several years he has
had aconspicuous pact, and has eXerted
Il strong ind Ience in every State where
he has spoken. Those who know lin
best know that he has never wayered,
but has stood Ia the advance guard OF
the Republican party.
But it has suited the purpose of GER
tain persons to misrepresent his atti-
tudc-low2rd the Southern Republicans
and Southern measures. They have
persistcEtly reported that he opposed
the so-called "Force Bill !" that he per-
sistently ruled against it, and that he
came down from the Chair and made a
speech against it.. All this is untrue.
lie simply opposed and tried to amend
one feature of the bill, and the facts
with reference to that are stated in the
in the following dispatch to the New
York papers of the date given;
"WAsHINGToN, d. c., Feb. Ii.-There
having been some erroneous reports of
Speaker Blaine's speech in the Repub-
lican caucus of Friday evening last,
the following is given as an authentic
outline of all he said:
"Thc Speaker confined his remarks
wholly to the proposition for n general
suspension Of the writ of HabedS Corpus,
and made no reference whatever tOany
other subject.
ale stated that he could see no pos
sible reason for giving the President
the power to suspend the witt at his
discretion in Maine or Michigan, be-
cause there was Il disturbed condition
of affairs in Louisiana and Mississippi.
IL there is a condition of affairs there to
warrant it, let the suspension be con-
fined to the disturbed districts. lie
could not see why Southern States, like
Virginia, North Carolina, and Tenn
eSScc, that were now trying TO sustain
good governments, should be men
aced and excited by a suspension of the
writ Of RabeGS Corpus.
"Moreovcr, tie pending proposition
WAS unlimited as to territory and UNI
limited as to time. The bill if itshould
become Il law, would confer upon the
President Of the United States for all
time to come, whoever that President
might be, the right and power to sus-
pend the RalsGs Corpus act at his sole
and absolute discretion in any city,
county, district or State within the
Union. He felt great respect for Pres
idcnt Grant, and would trust him as far
as lie would any Executive officer, but
he would never vote to confer this an
t%ocratic power upon any President now
or hereafter. Even if no actual harm
should come from it for Il long period
ofyears, the people would in the end
become too much familiarized with the
suspension and would lose that intense
jealousy of individual persGnel liberty
which is the great characteristic Of the
Anglo-SaXou race, and which all our
legislation should stimulat rather than
%reDreSs."

GarCeIOn'S Message from the
People.

From the Portland Advertiser: In
concluding his speech at Auburn, Sat
urday evening, Ex-Governor Garcelon
said: "Your municipal elections will
occur next Monday. If you believe
that l have.dOne right, have fearlessly
performed my duty by strictly follow
ing the law and constitution, vote the
democratic ticket. If not, vote the re-
publican ticket" The answer comes
in a republican majority Of 459. The
five cities which were DISTINGUISHED By
Governor GarcelOn and council held
elections Monday. Portland reports a
republican majority for mayor of ,23l
against a democratic majority of 10 last
year. Lewiston shows a republican
gain 1870. ROckland, which elected a
republican mayor last spring, OH the
third trial, by a majority of So, now
doubles the majority, and the republi-
can ward tickets arc chosen in every
ward but one. In Slco, every ward Is
republican; a year ago the democrats
carried two wards. In Bath, the dem
ocrats made no nomination, and Gen.
Hyde is elected mayor. Coming next
to the towns whose representatives
were counted out we find Skowhegan
olecting Mr. Steward, the representa-
tive, first selcctman, 4OI to lIG. Farm
ington, which was fusion last spring,
now turns up with a republican major
ity. Fairfield elects the whole republic
can ticket. Norway shows a republic
can gain of40. Deering barely elected
4 republican representative, who was
deprived Of his scat in the fusion legis-
%lature; and Deering now, for the first
time since the town was incorporated,
elects a full board Of republican Off

Sherman in North Carolina

From the Wilmington, N. G., Post:
The recent election of Sherman dele
gates at large TO the National Republic
can Convention is one OF the political
sensations. 1t is now conceded that
the whole delegation from the Old
North State will be for Secretary Sher-
man. This result in a State which had
been countea as sure for Grant is like
thunder from Il clear sky. Now polit-
ical wise ones will tell youthat Virgin
ia, South Carolina, Florida and Georgia
will follow the example Of North Can
Dina. The evident skill with which
LII. Shermai's friends managed their
campaign shows that they are fully
able to successfully follow up the ad-
vantage they have SO ~clcaverly gained.
1t is also hailed, here, as the beginning
of a new era in North Carolina politics.
