RALEIGH, N. c., August 9.-To-
day Governor Scales received requisi-
ton from the Governor of Louisiana
for 0 negro named John Henry Green,
who is wanted for heavy robbery in
that State. The Governor was in
formed that Green is in jail at Sails
! bury. His Excellency granted the re-
QUESTION. The Mayor of Salisbury .
few days since received description of
Green, who was promptly arrested. His
trunks were seized, he was arraigned,
and his identity was established.
He will be taken to Louisville to an.
swer the charge Of burglary, arson. and
the theft Of 10000. He has been
passing under various aliases, bat the
mulatto with whom he is travelling
identifies him as John II. Green, q ma
tive of Stanly county, N. O., who has
for several years been rambling over the
South and West working on various
railroads. The money he is alleged to
have stolen has not been found, but ne
was seen with large quantities Of it the
day previous to his arrest. A woman
who travels with Green, as well as her
child, are in jail with Green.
A report from Stokes county says
there will not be moro than . third OF
Q crop of tobacco made in that county
as compared with last year.
There is . good deal Of local excite.
ment about the discovery Of silver near
Yadkinville. A piece Of ore has been
sent to Washington, and the assay

HOLDEN.
One Of the most noted men in the
State is Ex-Governor Holden. About
fourteen years ago he became member
of the First Baptist church, and has
since been very prominent as member.
He is q very devout man, and now ap-
pears to find favor with most of his
vhilom enemies. Yesterday he joined
tho congregation Of the Edenton-Street
Methodist church, that being the leading
church of that denomination here. This
action created some surprise. There
has been some trouble in the First Bap-
list church, resulting in the resignation
of its pastor, DIR. Skinner, who even
withdrew his membership and joined
another church.
| CARDwELL CAPTURED.
Governor Scales was astonished Sun
day to receive letters informing him
that John Csrdwell, the Wilkes county
criminal, who fortnight ago was re-
leased by his friends from the Wilkes.
boro' jail, had been recaptured. Two
young men found him in field at
tempting to hide under bush. He
was unarmed and weak. They took
him to Jail and viii obtain the State
reward of 5000. Some people think
that the removal Of Cardwell from Jail
and the alleged overpowering Of the
sheriff by Cardwell's friends was .
singular proceeding. It is suspected
that his friends were afraid to keep
him after the reward had been
offered, and that since that time be has
been in hiding on his own account. He
is sick and weak BY reason Of long con-
finsmsnt. He 10 murderer, and was
sentenced TO be hanged July S0th, but
