Want of Decency is Want of Sense.
[From Marion IndeX.l

About year ago Dan Rutherford, rep
resenting the Columbus (Ohio) Buggy
Company, visited Marion and at one of the
hotels, without provocation, opened bit
ter denunciation Of the South, the Confed
eracy and our leading men, saying that we
.'were all id rebels, and ought to be
hung" His abuse of Jeff Davis was bitter
in the extreme. He was spared a thrash
ing by the proprietor, who had been a
Confederate soldier, because he was a
guest under his roof. But last Friday he
was here again, and while waiting at the
depot for the the train, began just as the
proprietor came up, to boast of last years
performance Rutherford covered at the
command to stop and without resentment,
even by word, submitted to as strong a
presentment of his character as words can
convey. In a few moments he would have
been severely thrashed had not the cars
afforded timely retreat. These charac-
ters are seldom met now, and the few that
remain are the meanest and the lowest of
the low. The company has missed one
sale of which we know because of this
man, and there may be many more. Such
a representative as this will in iure any
firm. Brethren of the press. please pass
him around and let the people know who
it is with whom they deal.

The Executive Committee of the 3rd
Congressional District has selected Colds

its meeting.
A correspondent of the Asheyille Citi-
zen says that the people of Henderson

Capt. NJ. G. Toms is willing to be a candi-

The Asheyille Sun favors the nomina

Judge Bennett nominated, because he
knows SO well how to meet O. II. Dockery,
who, it is firmly believed, will be the nomi-

Gen. W. R. Cox has written letter

from Raleigh to Sanford and from Sanford

inquiry we found that Judge Fowle's name
is the one mostly mentioned, and the opin-
ion Is growing that he is to be the nominee
of the Democrats. Gov. Jarvis and Judge
Clark having withdrawn their names, the
contest Is virtually narrowed down to two
or three Our prediction Is that the ticket

THE LESSON OFTHE FLOWERS.

Joaquin Miller, in the American Magazne.]
These flowers are Gods own syllables;
They plead SO lovingly, they lead
So gently upward to His hills!
If we might only learn to read,
If we might only learn to read and know
Christs book of eighteen hundred years ago!
| think we then should all rejoice,
Should know the beauteOuS mysteries,
should ioy with one wide common voice
AS Joy the great earth -circlng seas.
Could we but read as Christ would have US
read,
We then might know the living God indeed!
And this the lesson, this the book
That lies wide open now as then,
Come read one syllable, come look
How broader than the books of men?
Come catch the pathos of this harmony
OF beauteous toil-then all the world is free!

From Washington Gazette.

Rev. W. r. Ware on Sunday attacked
some of the leading evils of the day, and
although he put it pretty strong, yet his
sermon will afford food for serious and
profitable thought. He spoke fcelingly Of
the great gam bling scheme of the New York
Cotton Exchange, which is breaking so
many young men, and bankrupting the
country. 1t is indeed sad reflection that
our little town of Washington has lost its
thousands during the last few months,
dealing in futures, and the South perhaps
sixty millions, and not one cent returns
for this. Still we complain of the hard
times, and growl about poor crops. Away
with this colossal gambling scheme!

The Choice of Alamance for Governor
Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE

l would present to you name for Gov
ernOr which | know meets the hearty APP
probation of all classes of Democrats in
Alamance county. A name that is a star
in our political armament and hitherto
has been shining light to our feet, and a
lamp to our pathway, ever SHINING, ever
guiding Us safely and surely across the
bitter seas of political strife; a name that's
an honor, not only to Alamance county,
but to North Carolina, and to every man
that breathes her pure sweet air; a name
that's household word in every section
of North Carolina; name that calls large
crowds together and holds them spell
bound until they see, feel and know the
necessity and Importance of Democratic
supremacy in North Carolina. A name,
the mention Of which, creates more enthu-
siasm among us than all other names be-
sides. And last, but not least, a name
the bearer of which, can get more votes
from Alamance for Governor than any
other living man Then let US nominate
that good mantle brave soldier, the wise
jurist, the patriotic civilian and Christian
gentleman Hon. Daniel G. Fowle, of
Wake.
The man who has done more for North
| Carolina to rescue and save her from the
| hellsh curses of Radical misrule than any
man within her borders and has got less
| pay and less honors than any other man.
| SO let Us have Fowle for Governor and
| you can be Lieut.. Governor yourself for
| aught we care. Give us Fowle and we are
| safe. ALAMANCE.

In letter to a gentleman in this city
dated Petropolis, Brazil, 9th March, 1888,
and received here yesterday and that has
been laid before us Governor Jarvis ex
presses the fear that he has been placed in
a false position by the conclusion, drawn
from letter published in the Wilmington
Messenger some time ago, that he was
willing 10 become candidate for Cover
nor So far from desiring the nomination
for Governor, he says be does not desire
it at all and that he desires the Office still
less He says further that he does not
expect to come home before December
next, unless, indeed, his health should re-
quire it and that just now he is better
than he has been for some time past.
Governor Jarvis expresses himself as
profoundly grateful to the people of North
Carolina for all the honors they have
heaped upon him and sincerely trusts that
no one will suppose for moment that his
course in the matter proceeds from indif-
ference to their welfare or disregard for
their wishes, for no man recognizes more
fully than he the obligations good men owe

Wednesday special jury was en-
paneled TO try the case of the Com
monwealth against Dan Warrior,
colored, charged with assault and
battery in striking with an iron
poker and badly wounding W. l..
Bradley a few weeks ago. A large
crowd of both whites and blacks
collected to hear the evidence which
was concluded at II o'clock. I'm
mediately after dinner II. w. Henry
spoke for the defense, making most
powerful effort to impress the jury
that his client had acted in self-de-
tense in committing the crime with
which he was charged. AT the con-
clusion of Mr.. Henry's speech, G. II,
Bush addressed the jury in behalf of
the Commonw ealth and his argument
was convincing and to the point. He
alluded to the defective law regard
ing the punishment of prisoner
charged with assault and battery,
suggesting that there should in such
cases as the one in hand be a severer
penalty than was now attached, the
present one being, on conviction, fine
and imprisonment jp the county jail,
only. AT the conclusion of his argu-
ment the indictment was handed the
foreman of the jury anu they retired
ITO their room, and after remaining
'ont an hour or more announced that
they were unable to agree, whereupon
the Judge discharged them, and the
prisoner was returned to Jail and his
trial set for the next term Of Circuit
Court.
