Especial Cor. OF State Chronicle.O
CHAPEL HILL. n. c., Oct. 80. There
have been some political movements
around here that indicate that vonr spec
lal correspondent of Baltimore is correct
as to a desperate effort to defeat Senator
Vance. London Wnitted and Lisborn
Berrie are candidates on the negro ticket
for seats in the House and Senate res
pectively. They have been pouring
hot shot" into the Republicans, while the
latter, up TO few days ago, paid little
attention to them, thinking they could
be induced to withdraw at the proper
time, as the negro candidate did six
years ago. But they failed to withdraw,
SO the ''powers that be- began to use
their forces
Gentle, childlike persuasion failed to
move them. Violent abuse failed n
situations that one or both should be
hanged, or otherwise induced to depart
from this orb failed Small coin failed
Growing desperate, the Radical leaders
are drawing for a stronger hand I'm
less Whitfed and Berrie withdraw the
Radical ticket will be overwhelmingly
defeated. So the last deal has been
made and so far the players have still
failed. Whitted and Berrie are offered
zone thousand dollar positions" in
Washington City if they will withdraw
in favor Of the Radical nominees. They
refused with the declaration that 'the
negro has been bought and sold too
long We, at least, are men of honor,
and will rot bargain the principles Of
our race | don't know Berrie, but
Whittod is an honorable, upright
man, and will hardly sell out
He is working under flag
upon which is inscribed. Wrong" He
believes his race has been Wronged by
the Republican party. The thcnh&.l-
dollar position might help him indleld-
ually, but his acceptance would only
place one more stigma upon the race to
which he belongs
The above | have obtained from a re-
liable and intelligent darkey, who is uai-
versally believed and respected
The following [ know to be true
Steward Ellison, from the city OF
oals' (probably you have heard Of hun
MF EGi or came IN tow1 yesterday cn
political busipeSs. He las been speak
lag a the county Was near Hillobo.C c
III ht before last. aud came here tC
speak last night OI course be is urging
the negroes TO vote for the men dictated
by the "siient convention" OF the r.
| publican party IF Berrie aud Wait
ted Will nat withdraw vote against them
Bat Tor a very simple reason, he did no
speak here.
The dtrkies claim the white member:
OF the G o 2. sent for Ellison. IF VI
had wanted &c see Mr.. Ellison, we woulC
have sent for h m; proposed some plac,
for speaking and then attended. Ba
we did no5 want to hear him. If Mr.
---- and Mr wanted t.
hear him they should have prepared 70
him at this place.
Ergo, "Mr Ellison did not speak.
Oae darkay said to him: '1ou bea
me in Durham six years ago, and an
ready for you now"
think Ellison will leave to day Wit
the conclusion that the Orange negroe
are ''d-n fools" and the Republican
care in a fix"
The registration shows 344 whites, 20
negroes.
