Butler.

No act of Congress since the war
has been more severely criticised
than the 'Salary-Grab' steal of 1878.
Does the New York Sun remember
that General Butler was the earnest
champion Of that law? When the
Forty-Second Congress was about
to adjourn finally in March, 1878,
Butler as a member Of the House
committee that had been appointed
to confer with a similar committee
from the Senate on the Sd Of March
the day before adjournment, made
a speech in favor of the committees
report to the House. One OF the
items of the Legislative Approprla-
ton bill was the increased sum
of $50 900 per annum to be allowed
the President and another was the
increased amount to be allowed
members of the House. Against the
latter there was a loud protest at the
time by a few members, but the bill
passed and became a law to be de-
nounced by the whole country re
CARELESS Of party.

Exactly the Point.

DR.. York is rendering too much
service to the Democratic party for
any Democrat to harbor a wish that
he should quit the campaign, for
there is not a speech that he makes
that does not add to the Democratic
vote. He has made a weak, limp
ing, hating campaign from the start
and he is to-day, in consequence a
weaker nan by thousands Of. votes
than he was before he went upon
the stump. Then he was only known
by an exaggerated reputation of
strength and brilliancy, as a man Of
giant statue" and " colossal BRAIN"
as his fuglemen put it, but since
then he has come into personal con-
tact with the people, and with intu-
tive sagacity they have taken his
measure and calibre, and discovered
this mighty giant to be an intellect
ual pigmy. There is no motive a.
mong Democrats for wanting to
drive him from the stump, although
the Republican managers would be
probably gratified at such a result
as it would relieve them from the
necessity of keeping up a joint can
S which. as far as their candidate
is concerned, has turned out to be {
farce and a fzzle.

east of Clear Lake when the tornado
struck them. He vas lifted clear
out of the wagon by the wind and
dashed to the side of the road. His
right leg was broken in two places
below the knee. His brother was
only slightly injured and walked
back to Clear Lake and procured
help, but it was six hours before
the injured man could be brought
to town, owing to the road being
blocked with fallen trees. About

CROP PROSPECT.

Accounts received by us to date
regarding the crop prospect are
gloomy. Quite an extended drought
reaching through a period of many
weeks has visited this section caus-
ing widespread damage to all vege-
tation. A light shower Of rain fell
in Fayetteville and surrounding
country on the evening of August
both, but its need had long been felt,
ard the thirsty earth, after absorb
every drop, could have taken as
much more without being over
charged.
By a private letter from a friend
we are told that the crops IN New
Hanover and Fender are damaged
to such an extent as to cause a loss
Of one-half.
If this drought extends over the
State and country at large much sui
fering will follow. y short crop IN
our section may be expected, as the
rains which have fallen in the past
few days were too long delayed t(
resuscitate parched vegetation.

Pompey Sneed Captured.

Twas rumored on the streets last
night that Pompey Sneed had been
shot and killed yesterday morning
at G~oldsboro. The rumor was con-
frmed by two gentlemen who ar
rived in the city last night from
Goldsboro, and who stated that a
party of five or six men searching
for the outlaw came upon him and
shot him while he was attempting to
escape. He was shot through the
body with buckshot and mortally
wounded. It was thought that he
could not survive the wounds he re-
ceived longer than a few hours: He
had a brother living in Goldsboro,

REPUBLICANISM.

When a thief has committed a
theft, to whom does society look for
redress of the wrong? Certainly
not to the malefactor. Yet when
the Republican party is charged
with crimes and malfeasance in high
places and is faced with proofs be-
You'd refutation, if hopes, by mere
promises of reform, to continue in
office. How long have these abuses
beeen borne by the people? and how
often has the answer to the charges
been echoed, Trust us Il little longer
and we will do BETTER At the last
Republican National Convention
held at Chicago on June 9TH, 1884, a
platform was promulgated in which
we read: 1--WE demand the restoration
Of our Navy to it's old time strength
and efficiency, that it may, in any
sea, protect the rights Of American
citizens, and the interest of Ameri-
can commerce." What does this
mean? If it means anything, it
means that the Navy is in a very
critical condition, and seriously needs
attention. Now, in making the de-
mand, of whom is it made? Ger
tainly not the Democratic party, for
they are not in power, nor have they
; been in twenty-four years. In that
demand there is an acknowledge.
ment, which, to say the least, is elo-
quent.
