DeLe<seps' Views.

BosroS, September ga cable dispatch
from Paris to the Herald, says: De Les
sens, who iust arrived here, in an inter
view on Egyptian affairs, said that the first
fact that should be known regarding the
Egyptian matter is, that the movement is a
national one. He was convinced that
Arabi Pasha has the whole nation at his
back. His force at present is between
Is, 600 and 10000 Arabs. He has arms for
2OO, 900 men. and when he needs men can
get them. De Lesseps had every reason to
be satisfied with the manner IN when
Arabi behaved toward the canal. The Eng
lish had no need of the canal for their
operation. The Arabs had not placed
price on his head on the contrary, after the
English had landed at Suez, he had received
letter from Arab saying that he knew it
was not his fault, and giving him notice
that the Sweet water canal would be cut.
The English sailors had behaved very
badly, fireing right and left in the streets
and killing many Arab women and
childres- and one of De Lesseps own EN-.
ployes. The English army was very, we'll
organized. He thinks the war will be
long one, and its final resnlt cannot yet be
forecasted.

BARDouR COUNTY, September 2.-The
nomination of Col A. w. Woodford for
Senator gives very good satisfaction. The
Coloners pronounced and advanced views
upon questions that Immediately affect the
farmers will greatly aid him. The Colonel
is a great friend to the sheep and favors
dog tax that will yield an immense
revenue, or will lead to the exterminsnon
of the dog, and in either case the people
will be benefited. All the people who
favor protection to the sheep and dog
tax, should vote for Woodford, as they
will, and his election is sure.
The ColonerS liberal views upon the
LIQUOR and license question are we'll known
and will make him plenty OF votes IL the
Democratic counties of Barbonr and Ran
dOlph.
The Republicans will meet here on the
18th inst, to nominate candidate for Sem

the Senator and will nominate man OF
this county. probably J. II. Glascock. Cap
tain Coburn, if nominated, will get:the al
most solid Greenback vote, as he has a
weakness i'm that direction, but his prohlo-
