WHATEVER may be said of President
Arthur, his reply when told his veto of
the Chinese bill would be injurious to the
Republican party, is commendable and
worthy of any statesman. He said he
chad not considered the subject as par
tisan, and had not thought whether one
party or the other would be advanced
through the Executive approval or disap'
proval of the bill. But he saw that
American principles were involved which
had been in vogue for century; and il
either party should gain any permanent
advantage, it would be the party that
stood on true American ground"

THE trust and blind confidence of the
colored voter was ready to take the follow
ing for its full face, and we doubt if there
was one delegate who did not secretly be-
lieve and depend upon receiving large
money consideration, calico, straw hats
and all for his vote:
WHAT Is 1T ?-Delegates may expect to get for
their votes at the next Republican congressional
convention, to be held at Goldsboro. N. c., to
nominate candidate for Congress, from $500 to
$1,000.
Delegates to the Republican convention of
Craven county, to nominate county officers, may
expect of each candidate, as follows

and calico to make their wife dress, and some
old chip hats for their boys and girls.
P. SIT is thought the price for candidate in
| districts and counties where the Democrats are
largely in the majority, delegates will be worth
still more.
The above strange document, in hand bill form
was secretly distributed among the delegates of
| the recent colOred convention held in this city
and We are told that it was gotten up by lead
| ing colored Republican of Newbern. What its
significance is, are not able to say and merely
publish for what it is is"-Goldsboro Messenger.

COTTON SEED.-The Richmond and Dan
vile Railroad Company furnish cotton
seed free to all who desire them. There
have been ordered already 400 bushels to
be shipped to South Boston. A register
is kept at the depot, and parties wanting
seed can obtain them by putting down
their names. The farmers ordering these
seed are among our largest and most pros
porous planters. Capt. w. S. Belts heads
the list so far with 75 bushels. We have
been told he intends to plant fifty acres.

shot an officer in Shelbyville, when about
to be arrested for horse stealing. Thomp.
son was found in bed, and while the deputy
sheriff was reading the warrant, Thompson
shot him with pistol which he drew from

A NEW ERA IN PLANT1NG.-The New
Orleans Picayune thinks it is justified in
thinking new era in planting has dawned
upon the South, as consequence of the
investment in several plantations by East
tern capitalists, which, it says, is only the
beginning of plan to purchase largely on
both sides of the Mississippi river. The
lack of ready money has always been the
drawback to Southern planters, and the
experiment now contemplated will be fol-
lowed with the close attention SO vital a
subject merits

ONE of the attractions of Coup's circus
is the suit of clothes worn by Guiteau at
the time he shot the President. An agent
visited the Jail and purchased them from
the assassin, paying $3.50. He also Sc
cured the suit worn during the trial and
when shot at by Jones for which he paid
800. Guiteau did not hesitate to dispose
of these suits, and when told they were
to be placed on a plaster cast of himself,
made for Coup by the sculptor Mcdonald,
his vanity was extremely gratifed.

tion. She makes circular cage of old

oned. After intense suffering, both died
