HE GRANDFATHER BEAT HIM.
The election in Richmond county re.
suited In the defeated Of Mr.. Alex.
andcr Mcdonald. the democratic
candidate ior Register Of Deeds. his
successful opponent being colored
man. Mr.. Mcdonald says he owes his
defeat entirely to his grandfather,
Mr.. L. III. Long, who not only worked
against him, hut voted Tor the negro.
Truly thishas been queer campaign
with fathers ranged against sons and
grandiathers against grandsons. The
case Of old man Long. however, who
voted for q colored man In prefer.
ence to his own grandson, is the
hardest on record.-Charlotte Obser-

There are good many people worry
ing just now about that same man
Ben Butler.
Butler was not only the nominee Of
the democrats for governor in th
late election, but he is {; vor q
with the workingmen and greenback
ers, who have often put him forward
as their candidate. How will the
fact that he is strong with those ele.
ments operate in the next democratic
convention?
Butler is now governor-elect Of
Massachusetts BY grace Of democrstlI'
votes, and, be ing that, can issue
democratic edicts from Beacon bill
which the party must consider, even
IL it do not obey them
That he has his queer eyes on the
presidency rome can doubt; that be
will begin from this day to shape hi
plans with a view Of securing the
prize, those who know bis restless
and tireless ambition will not ques,
ton.
Suppose Mr.. Butler secure a nom.
ination from national convention
Of workingmen, and another from the
anti-monopolists, and with these,
goes into the national democratic
convention What will be the result.
That, many Of the party manager,
would object to his candidacy is very
certain, but Mr.. Butler has some ex
perience in breaking up democratic
conventions, and il may be taken fol
granted that his hand has not lost 1t,
canning though the years have frost
: ed his hair.
What will the democrats do will
him? is the question. now that the,
have got him, or rather, now that be
has got them *s. .*.

The New York Tribune, speaking
of Mr.. Thurlow Weeds span Of life.
says:
Thurlow Weeds life almost spans
the history Of this country .underf =
present Constitution. He was born
before Washington died, and when
Webster, Clay, and Calhoun were
making there regulations had edited
several country newspapers and
fought in the battles o. his country.
lie was older than Seward, or Lin
coin, or Greeley, and Clay, Webster,
AMI Calhoun when he had not enter
ed upon the most important part Of
his career. He was alive when Napo-
Icons star appeared in the darkness
Of the French Revolution and was
already a young man when the battle
Of Waterloo was fought. He lived
and worked with three generations Of
public men. Most of the men who
are now beginning to attract atten.
ticn might have been his grandsons.
Benjamin Franklin died several
years before Mr.. Weed was born.
The lives of these two journalists take
the world back into reign Of Lous
XIV, and beyond the birth Of Fred
erick the Great Another such would
very nearly reach the Time Of Shake
speare.

DEATH OF How. h. FULLER.
Hon. Bartholomew Fuller, is no
more Death claimed this brilliant
mark and his spirit took its fight.
Tuesday at $50 r. NJ, our community
was appalled, and shrouded IN gloom
ut the sad intelligence that one Of
our most beloved and esteemed citi-
Gems was deal. Already this sad
news has been flashed over the wires
and the pang ofsorrow has pierced
thousands Of hearts throughout the
limits Of North Carolina, who deeply
sympathise with the people Of Dur
ham in their great loss, for truly a
brilliant light has forever been ex-
tinguished. The deceased was 80
years old. and from his birth to his
death, lead model life, worthy Of
emulation by every one. Nature had
endowed him with superior mental
faculties which had been carefully
cultivated and by incessant work a.
tanned an eminence in the pro-
fession of law rarely excelled. He
was perhaps the finest english
scholar in the State, a man Of cx-
tensiye reading, remarkable memory
aprofound lawyer and christian
gentleman. There are few who pos
scssed such fine traits Of character,
kind, generous, open hearted, no one
knew him who did not love and adj
mire the man. ....
He leaves a tender and afftctionate
wife, four daughters and two sons for
whom our sympathy goes ut'to.day.
and with them We mingle our tears
of sorrow over the sad event which
has deprived them of a husband and
father and us of friend. ~ A.
Peace be to his ashes. His funer-
al was preached in the Presbyterian
Church at 2:30 o'clock to-day. The

Politics Down East

A Carmel correspondent of the Bangor Wing
says: Politics are quiet in all the camps" but
once in while straw floats by and gives an
observer an idea which way the tide is setting,
which is Enthusiastically toward the ROBBIE camp.
There are several in town that voted in op-
position to the Republican party in the last cleo
ton that have declared they will not vote the
Fusion ticket this year. The farmers are qui-
city thinking over the matter and many have
concluded not to support the party that aims
to take the duty from the chief articles which
they raise and thus bring them into direct
competition with cheap foreign labor. The
soldiers, too, are giving the subject more solid
thought than ever before, and it is not an I'M
common thing to hear some OF the old veter-
ans who have voted the opposition ticket for
years declare they will be found this year with
those who have stood by them; that they will
support the party with which they fought.
The people are fast getting their eyes open
and will not be blinded by any more chaff. and
if tie State will do as well as Carmel in pre-
portion to the vote at the last election, it is safe
to predict that the Fusion candidates will have
quiet and rejecting life for the next two
years, by at least ten thousand.
