The reporter asked Mr.. Carlisle if there
was any truth in the reports that friends

Mr.. Carlisle replied that he did not know
that any efforts were making to bring about
a change in the method of voting. He had

ARTHUR Is A C.iNDIDATE.-A Washing
ton dispatch to the New York Postsays: "a
member of the administration said to-day
Chester A. Arthur is a candidate for the
presidential nomination. | know it, and |
do not know that there is any necessity for
keeping quiet about it any longer, and L
think that before long the party will have
no doubt that he is candidate. The result
of the election in New York, has, perhaps,
made it proper that the candidacy should be
avowed. | think that Gen. Arthur is the
man to carry New York, and that from pres.
ent appearances he will convince the party
leaders that he is the man."
This statement, coming from person as
to whose knowledge upon the subject there
can be scarce a doubt, is perhaps the first
positive declaration by any one near the
president that Gen. Arthur is presidential
candidate

SYSTEMATIC ROBBERIES.

From the numbero of systematic robberies
recently perpetrated in a number of North
Carolina towns, we deem it not out of place
to advise our citizens to be on the alert for
similar operations here. There is no doubt
but band of skillful thieves is traversing
the country, and the recent sad experience
of our neighbors should prove warming.
\ Charlotte dispatch says
Half a dozen citizens of Statesville had
their houses robbed on Saturday night. The
business seems to have been done systemat-
ically as only gold watches and money were
taken. Two strangers were noticed in
Statesville on Saturday, who are suspected
of the robberies. One was medlum-slzed
man, stouty built, with black hair, little
black mustache and side Whiskers. The
other had red sandy hair with short cut

same gang that has been operating in so
many of the towns in this State. They first
entered North Carolina about two months
ago, coming in on the Wilmington and We'll

from Weldon to Wilmington. They opera

place to Rockingham. After leaving Rock
ingham they next appeared successively in
the following towns: Durham, ReidvillP,
