POTTS CHEATS THE GAL
LOWS.
HE MAKES A SECOND AND SUCCESSFUL
ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
Especial to the Virginian.1

WASHINGTON, n. c., July IL
After all Potts cheats the galIows
Another sensation swept the city
last night. w. A. Potts, Jr., who
was to be hanged today for the muir
der of Paul Lincke, made a second
and this time successful attempt to
kill himself. About s o'clock last
night he eluded his keepers for few
moments and took a dose of choral
and morphine, dying about midnight.
How he procured the drug is a
matter of mystery. There is much
subdued excitement, and bad feeling
about the matter and public censure
is likely to be visited upon certain
parties. Potts body is now lying in
his cell ready for burial, and large
crowds are passing in viewing the
remains. Almost the entire county
believed the tragedy would end as it
has, but as the prisoner failed in his
first attempt to destroy himself it was
hoped that sufficient precaution
would be taken to prevent the
suicide.

BRIEF ITEMS.

The North Carolina Press Associa ton
is in session this week at MOrehead.
A bill was passed July 18th by the
House appropriating $4,000 for the
construction of revenue cutter for
Newberne, n. G..
Governor Lee has issued the necessary
papers fol the rendition to the North
Carolina authorities of Andrew Cotton,
&C lored, new confined in Norfolk Jail,
charged with murder in BERTHE county
some months since.
The Windsor Ledger tells of a mar
riage at Elmwood, BERTHE county: An
dy Ryon and Annie Sutton, colOred,
were married by DR.. B. w. Hathaway
Saturday night, judy Z. They had a
grand time. A nice supper with wines,
liquors, rye cake, corn cake, common
whiskey, gin, blackberry pies, &c. Soon
they fell to fighting and used pistols,
knives, razors, black jacks, bed steads,
andirons, spiders, frying pans and any
thing they could get their hands on.
Many wounded, but none seriously.
They lost their hats and tore their
clothes, then made friends and danced
all night. This should learn all 'coons'
not TO marry on Saturday nights"

the Superior Court of Chowan County,
n. c., for an assault upon another
negro. He was admitted to bail for
this offence, but forfeited his bond
and left the State. This negro,
Sutton, is a most vicious man. For
years during every Campaign. he has
made speeches of the most incendiary
character, which in a less peaceable
community could not have been toll
Grated for a day. He does not at all
represent his race here which, for the
most part, is quiet and aw-abiding.
AS a rule he is repudeated by the
negroes here, and only short while
ago Bishop Lomax. Of the A. NJ. E.
Zion Church, published a letter
denying statement published by
Sutton in Washington City, similar
TO that published in the Press. and
repudeating Sutton"
The writer has the Court records
before him and knows the above to
be facts. He further says:
eff the editor of the Press wants
to be informed Of SuttOn's real char
acter. let him write to Aug. NJ.
Moore. Esq, recently nominated, by
the Republicans, Elector for the State
at large, whose Postoffice is Green
vile n. c., or to Mr.. Charles K.
Robinson, appointed by President
Hayes, Collector of the Port at
Edenton and who still holds that
position. and / am quite sure he will
be satisfied there is no reliance to be
placed in his (Sutton's) statement.

The Monitor is way-off in present
ing the name of w. B. Shaw, Esq.
for Congress of the First District.
1t is only waste of printers ink.
Read what Gates county writer
says about Mr.. Shaw. He says:
understand me that could sup
port Mr.. Shaw as we'll as | could any
good Democrat, but / think about his
chance for representing the First
District Of N. G. in Congress to be
about like John Sherman's chance Of
being President of the United States.
/ don't think he will even be dark
horse. He tried that two years ago.
Why his own county is instructed
for another. And so far as the asser-
ton that he would get larger major
ity than any other, it is totally
unfounded. think if Gates could
have her choice of all the aspirants,
Hon. I. @. Skinner would get 80 out
Of a 100, because we believe him to
be the strongest man. And then so
far as Mr.. WEIGH championing Mr..
Shaw's cause as a friend to the labor
ing man, | have been knowing him
some time and I have never heard
before of his being any more so than
Mr.. Brown, Nr. Moore or Mr.. Skin
ner- Gates is Democratic enough to
vote for any good Democrat, but we
in Gates want men nominated who
can and will bring men out to the
polls
