MAJ. DowD AND GEN. BARRINGER IN
SrASLY County. Maj. Dowd met Gen.
Rufus Barringer at several points in Stanly
county last week, having changed his W
appointments to keep up with the candl-
date for observation-disclosures. 1t is learn
ed from those present at the speaking that
Gen. Barrin9er contained himself chiefly
to his own past history Gas usuall to the IN
toilerancy of the Democrats, to the road
law. &c. Each % his points was met squaIely
by Mai. Dowd. As usual he went back be-
fore the war many years and referred to the
fact that on one occasion Gov. Morehead
was not allowed to speak in Charlotte, and
such men as Graham, Gilmer, Barringer
and others were prescribed. To this Maj.
Dowd replied that Graham, Gilmer and
others received all honor till near the close
o. their lives when they and thirty tbous-
and others Of the best men in the State
were prescribed by the Republican party
not allowed to 90 to the polls. and enjoy
the rights of citizenship in common with
| their boot blacks and carriage drivers.
Let not the Republican party talk OF pro-
scription when it DISTINGUISHED such men as
these.
Gen. BarrInger complained that Gov. jan
Wis was not conducting the campaign III tn
rjoht spirit-that he had called Buxton I
/ liar while Col. hcIan Ilii puollCly dSiouA
ced DR.. Norment for using indecent Ian
nuage in a discussion. j..
To these Mai Dowd replied that all Jaryi
had said was that any man who SAID III
.Jarvis) had been bribed was indeed IA liar
and Col. keenan, had only warned Normen'
that such as he and Hargrove must use decen
language or they could not talk to decen5
people. Further, Gen. Barrlnger %certalni
rouid not complain of this method if discus
sion had been adopted, for he opened tn
campaign in Charlotte with the assertlo'
that every Democrat was a liar who SAID tina
he didn't want the negroes back in slavery
A.notber utterly ~groundless eharg
brought By Gen. Barringer was that Treas
urer Worth had taken $40, 900 OF the schot
fund of North Carolina and putt 1T IN the pocF
cts of himself and the other bondholders. ,
This charge was pronounced absolute
false by Major Dowd. and, upon BEN:
pressed, Gen. Barringer rccanted by sayln
that the Democratic Legislature had don
it upon Worth Observation-Disclosures

barley Park had quite an interesting
trip. When ten OF fifteen miles away
she came down among trees threw
out ballast, shot up again, and went
many miles further west. Coming down
again the appearance of a body of water
suggested danger, and as it was growing
quite dark, she threw out more ballast, as
cended above the clouds IN the moonlight,
and striking a counter current, sailed rap
idly back toward the city. Descending
finally through the clouds, she found her
self about four miles beyond Mt. Washing

houses and lights, and rs the balloon skim
