The Democratic ticket for Raleigh
Cfty Council IS. in the main, we think, a
good one. Mr.. Julius Lewis, and sew
eral of the old Aldermen declined TO
enter the field for a denomination. 20
the full ticket stands as follows: FIRST
ward: F. O. Moriug, w. \. Smelling
and Virginius Ballard Third ward: u.
E. Leach. E. y. Engelhard, q. d. Rand,
J. F. BEDFORD. w. n. Jones, Fifth ward,
John w. Horton, G.. b. Edwards, j. ,.
Wynne.
Mr.. D. s. Watt came within a small
vote Of carrying the 9Th ward, and Messrs
T. Norman Jones, VIM. Woolcott, Ed.
c. Smith. and others, made a good u
in their respective wards,
Messrs. +. b. Arrendell, b. b. Lewis,
Jr., and DR.. J. b. Dunn presided at the
several meetings.
The New Board is composed ofyoung
business men, and Will no doubt push
things
A very cordial invitation from Prot.
J. S. Jones of Mt. Vernon Springs Acad
envy, Chatham county, to attend the
Commencement Exercises, May 2Sth, and
make a little talk to the large audience,
including many readers of the Farmer
and Nechoaic who will be present. Bust
ness matters seem almost certain to pre-
vent our going: out We may perhaps
drop in on a back seat, to see the eXer-
cises, the pretty folks, and our friends.
Mount Vernon Springs Academy is a
1ourishing Institute of near one hundred
pupils. Rev. o. Z. Edwards, Il. z.
Johnston A. NJ, and Prot Jones are
Principals: Miss f. l.. Merrill, teacher
of Music, Drawing and Calisthenics
Miss NJ. C. Arnold, Assistant teacher in
the same departments. The boys and
girls each have a literary society. The
village is steadily improving. Two new
stores have recently been opened. The
houses are all occupied, and the citizens
are adorning and improving their prem
ises. That is the way we like to hear Of
our people.
Attorney General Garland's moth
er was a daughter of State Senator Jas.
2. Hill of Franklin. Maj. Chas. NJ.
Cooke is a relative. Garland is also
connected, we believe, with the Baxters
and Durhams of Cleveland: and his
feature. show it.
This thing of facial resemblance in
certain families is often marvellous. A
first glance at the picture Of the late
Francis 5. Winston of New York, the
Millionaire Insurance man, would H.
stantly suggest that it must be Pat, or
Francis D. Winston, of North Carolina;
though the relationship, if any, must be
several generations removed.
By the by, we see it stated that Col.
Pat. returns no very flattering report OF
his Idaho Land Agency. There is plenty
of land :: but between Alkali, and other
lies, it don't ''agent''-see worth a cent.
We never did take any stock in growing
Observation-Disclosures Ho!" The young
man to whom he gave that celebrated

of type in trying to show that we were
wrong and unjust in a recent a~llusion t.
Messrs. Jesse and VIM. Hinnant Of Johns
ton county, one an E~x-Legislator
the other an ex-Sheriff. We say thai
, Mr.. Booker wastes his column of type
because had he been longer in the chat
editorial, he would know, as our reader
! know, that it needs but a single line t
inform us of any injustice we may hav,
done to secure PREPARATION, if we be reall,
1 in the wrong.
In the present instance, we know no
what to think. Our remarks were baset
s upon apparently the best of authority
F., one OF the most prominent officials 0
Johnston county. The fact of the defci
, in Sheriff Hinnant's accounts, we suppose
cannot be denied, The fact that hi
: bondsmeE are held for $1,000 or more
and that in Sheriff Hinnant's absence
t Mr.. Jesse Ellington was telegraphed for
elected Sheriff, and has acted as Sheriff
: ever since, cannot be denied: The fur
Their fact that several Democratic Sheriff
; in various counties of the State hav,
been caught in arrears the past yea
seems to call for notice. Many Demo
8 cratic papers fear to print such things
although when Tim Lee, the Radica
Sheriff Of Wake county, fell short in hi
counts the whole State was made t,
ring with his ~iniquity
: As to Mr.. Jesse Hinnant we ca,
, only say that we have always hear'
him spoken of as a Republican, AM
had no idea but that he so considered
j himself. The facts in relation to tn
paper are as We stated. We sent tn
T. Il NJ. more than three years to Archie
Lodge, as ordered while Mr.. II. was here
t That the paper went regularly, and wa
: taken out, and read, and that we neve
received a penny of pay, notwithstanding,
several respectful notices, we know to b
fact. We keep a list of those who orde
f our paper, and read it regularly-so lonI
as We will trust them. The Herald re
: Gently spoke in terms much severer thai

that way.
The Herald says the Messrs. Human
are leading, citizens of Johnston count,
, and have been good friends of ours. w
take pleasure in hearing it, and if W,
have done either of them injustice We re
