THE ANTI.MONOPOLISTS.

The National Conference of Anti-Monop-
olists met in Chicago last Thursday, but
made slow progress in the work of forming
a new party. Theproceedings were marked
by good order, all those present having been
recognized as delegates. The committee on
resolutions was not ready to report and the
interim was filled with speeches on the adj
visibility of organizing a new party and
the stand it should take on the tariff. Let
ters of encouragement from anti-monopoly
bodies of Oregon and New Jersey were read
to the Convention, espousing the objects for
which the assemblage had been called.
At the afternoon session Mr.. Streeter, OF
Illinois, submitted the platform prepared by
the committee. 1t advocates a postal tele-
graph system, the abolishment of the ma
tional banking system, the establishment of
a graduated income tax and of postal saw
ings banks the amendment Of the patent
laws to secure the more perfect protection of
inventors confining the taxing power of
Congress to assessing taxes for the necessary
expenses of the Government only, and de-
nouncing gambling in the necessaries of life.
Before adjourning, the following officers
were elected: President, John F. Henry,
New York secretary, d. F. Silver, In

Stanley Matthews, of the United States
Supreme Court, arrived in Asheville, with
his family, the other day. They drove up
from the railroad station in great style, in a
turnout brought on the train with them.
They are there for the summer, occupying
the finest house in town. The magnificence
of their entry made sensation in Asheville.
The North Carolina Press Association,
comprising so members, held its eleventh
annual meeting at White Sulphur Springs,
Haywood county, on the 18th instant. BY
invitation the South Carolina Press Associa-
at Asheville, last Friday. In the afternoon
the two associations were handsomely en-
tertained by Richmond Pearson, Esq, and
at night attended a banquet given by the
board Of trade of Asheville. After the BAN
quet they attended the ball at Swannanoa
Hotel. The two associations went from
Asheville to Warm Springs.
On last Sunday afternoon, says the Char
lOtte Journal Observer, near Mount Mourne,
in Iredell county, a colored man named
Sam Harris was stricken dead to the earth
with fire shovel in the hands of his wife.
The tragedy occurred at Harris home, about
three miles northwest of Mount Mourne,
near Capt. w. j. Brawley's place, just before
dark. Harris got into quarrel with his
wife and they soon came to blows. The
woman got her hands on one those old fash
ioned heavy fire shovels, and swinging it
aloft, she brought it down with terrible
force on her husbands head. The blunt
edge of the shovel fairly shattered his skull
and he fell to the floor and died without a
word. The woman was arrested, we un-
derstand, and held in custody to await the
result of the coroner's inquest, which was
to have been held yesterday, but from
which we could learn nothing. 1t is clear
case of murder and the woman will no doubt
be tried for her life at Statesville. The
murdered man was most respectable dar-
key and was we'll thought of by his white

The attendance was smaller than expected,
not more than fifteen counties being repre-

vention and made an exposition of what he
called the Lynch-Lamar Fusion and read
the following telegram from Washington,
dated the 4th:
To R. Chalmers, Jackson, Miss: Lynch
told a confidential friend here that the Sec
ond Congressional District would be made
overwhelmingly Democratic; that the La
mar Legislature would make two Republi-
can districts, one Of which Lynch would
represent. Icanp prove the above statement.
The dispatch was signed by James D.
Cessor, who holds position in one of the
departments at Washington. Chalmers said
that the Barksdale men have usually shaped
the platforms, but the Lamarmen have con-
trolled the machine, and prevented the full
fillment of the platform pledges. A resolu-
ton was adopted endorsing the Presidents
Southern policy. Gen. Reuben Davis and
Col. Blair made brief addresses. The Con-
vention adjourned without adoptinga party

SUPREME COURT DECISION.

Ann f. Wright, executrix, in re Clark,
administrator, VS.. Mary B. Melton ct al.
Judgment below reversed. Opinion by
Simpson, C. J. This case was appealed from
Richland. Mrs. Ann E. Wright, execu-
trix of DR.. Samuel Wright, sought to estab-
lish against the estate of G. D. Melton, a
judgment obtained by her against the said
C. D. Melton in his lifetime. The judg-
ment was in every respect regular, except
that the Clerk of the Court had omitted to
endorse the time of the entry of the judg-
ment on the margin of the judgment paper,
and to sign the same officially, as he was re-
quired by statute to do. Upon objection,
the Circuit Judge held the judgment inval-
id. On appeal, the Supreme Court decides:
"The record shows that the Judgment was
filed, recorded and entered in the Abstract
book, on the End of November, 1867, and
we think should take rank from that date,
and being the senior judgment should have
priority in the settlement of the estate Of
the intestate."

ARTHUR FOR ASECOND TERM.-A Wash
ington letter says "Already there is con-
siderable speculation among Republicans
here as to who will be their choice next ses-
sion. 1t is evident that the politicians in
mastering the Presidential candidates must
not omit President Arthur. Congressman
who have recently been here have said that
President Arthur is gaining in the conf
dence Of the party, and that his administra-
ton is stronger with the people. Senator
Platt of Connecticut said that in New Eng
land there was a very kindly feeling toward
the Presidential feeling not only Of tolera-
tion, but of confidence and respect. Senator
HaWley of the same State, who is in the
habit Of carefully noting the tendency of
public feeling, expressed the same opinion
respecting New England. Two Of the most
prominent Republican Representativesfrom
New York, within the last fortnight, ex-
pressed like views. So have four Ohio Re-
publicans of prominence, who have recently
been here, and who had no axe to grind.
The Republicans of Iowa, Minnesota and
Ohio have formally endorsed the admins
tratiOn. Two months ago Appointment New
York Representative remarked that he did
not believe it possible for the President to
gain the confidence of the Half-breed fac
ton in that State, and that, while the sum-
nit of Arthur's ambition might be to have
his name presented and supported by the
New York delegation, that ambition would
never be realized. Within ten days the
same Representative has said that he has
changed his mind. A private letter receiv-
ed here to-day from cute political observer
in New York says it is the general feeling
among Republicans that Arthur is candi

BELLIGERENT DARKEYs.

On last Sunday night, difficulty of a
serious nature occurred between Jack Stew
art and Hampton Witherspoon, both color
ed. The quarrel-which was about a wo-
man-commenced in the day time, and
when the disputants separated, each deter
mined vengeance on the other that night at
church. They both went to their church
the African Zon-and after the service was
over the quarrel was renewed. Jack fired
at Hampton, and almost simultaneously
with Jacks pistol Hampton drew his weap-
on, but it snapped. With the report Of the
pistol both ran in opposite directions, and
Jack is probably running yet, as he has not
been seen in Yorkville since the rencontre.
Hampton was slightly wounded, the ball
having grazed hiss second rib and glancing in
to his shoulder, where it is still lodged, the
doctors not being able to find it.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

On Saturday afternoon last, Mr.. James
Crawford, son of William Crawford, who
lives in the Clark's Fork neighborhood, was
struck by lightning, while in cotton field,
and instantly killed. An inquest was held
on that evening by Coroner J. NJ. Caldwell
in which the following testimony was eli
cited from the father of the deceased:
My son went to hunt for cotton blooms, as
I suppose, in a field about one hundred and
fifty yards from the house. We called
him after the report of the lightning, but
he made no answer. I then started on
hunt of him, and found him lying on his
face-dead. / turned him over and picked
him up and carried him to the house. 1
firmly believe that he was killed by light
ming.
The verdict of the jury was in accordance
with this testimony. MIR. Crawford was a
youth about II years of age.
