For Congress.

ED. JOURNAL We will in all probable
ty soon be in another heated contest TOR con
gress am in no way interested in the
matter except to see the district represent
ed by man in whom the people of all
shades of opinion have confidence. Can
such an one be found? answer yes. Col.
James ID. Waddell than whom there is no
brighter or purcr man living in the district
will fill the measure, and that to overlooking.
In point of learning and that keen insight in
to the political questions now about to spring
upon the country, he is not surpassed by
an4. His eminent services in the Constitu.
tional convention of 1868, his love and ven
Grafton for the principles and traditions OF
the fathers of civil liberty, all go to make
him fit representative of free people.
Waddell is the peer of any man on the
stump, and can meet any one the opposition
may bring against him. FELTON, was once
strong, but he has prepared bill of indict-
ment against himself, which in the hands
of such man as Waddell will utterly de-
stroy its author. Then why not give him
the nomination, and let the people pro.
nounce on his merits. ID.

Col Cash, the surviving princi-
pal 10 the recent fatal duel, came be-
fore Judge McIver of the State Su-
preme Court, at Cheraw, on a writ
of habeas corpus, aud was admitted
to bail in the sum of $1,000. Con,
siderable excitement was occasioned
in Cheraw previous to the hearing of
the application by an attack made
by the son of COL Cash upon Mr.,
Pegnis, editor of the Cheraw Sun,
who had denounced the duel 10 his
paper. Young Cash and his father
had both drawn their pistols, the lat>
ter avowing his intention to see fair
fight, and Mr., Pegnis was only saved
by being thrust by his friends into a
doorway, where he was locked up.
No arrests we're made. ttt.
