A SENSATION.

The Raleigh Chronicle talks from the
shoulder, and reads a three-column arti-
Gle to N. B. BRoUGHToN, which is strong,
terse and convincing,
EDITOR JERNIGAN calls things by their
right names and does not mince matters
at all.
The following gems from his article
are worth reproducing, inasmuch as they
have direct and important reference TO
one of the most Infamous and Ubiquitous
bills ever farmed out by a legislature:
He was interested in the result of such &C
ton, and he desired to impose upon the mem
bers as he has done, for a long time, upon our
lawmakers by misleading statements.
A frank, open man would not have pursued
the snake-like course of Mr.. B~ROUGHTON.
His deviousness is quite marked, but not
any more so than the absence of truth in what
he says.
The half of Mr.. BROUGHTON'S card. which
we do not publish. is headed My political
record"
There is no need of publishing this half. Ali
know his political record.
He did manage to board the democratic ship
before she left her final mooring to engage in
battle with republicanism and third partyism,
but for some time there was never a political
party mid on the floor whose and he did not
solicit for a waltz.
If we ever believed that we could have
beaten CAPITALS AsHE and MR.. DANIELS com-
bined, it was possibly at some moment when
the constitutional deceit of Mr. BROUGHTON
DrOmDted him tO DretaDd q nartia1itv for rs
pretentions which, after his declaration of
neutrality, caused us subsequently to frankly
say to Mr.. EDWARDS that we had no conf
dence in him..
In his card Mr.. BROUGHToN studiously avoids
the direct charge that he made speeches in
Chatham county in company with S. OHIO
WILSON. He does not deny it. If his thoughts
had been loyal to the democratic party would
he have been found making speeches in the
company of such a man, and advocating SINH
lar principles?
Not a word has Mr.. BROUGHTONt to say about
that third party tour. But he denies renting
the warehouse for BUFFERS convention of
May II. He told us in this office that he took a
man to Mr.. LEWIS for that purpose. He will
hardly deny this. Was he then acting in a
double-face capacity
=
No civilized being would give utterance to
such a sentiment. 1t requires a very unkind
nature to indulge such a prophecy of down.
fall. We did not know there was a man in
Raleigh who could find pleasure in the misfor
tune of another. 1t is to be regretted that
there is a person within the limits of our city
who expects to live to see" ruin Overtake his
neighbOr.
We mass nv oS unworthy nf notice tho MALAY
olent spirit that prompted MR. ~BROUGHTON's
prophecy of The Chronicles downfall. 1t is
natural for those who are detected in wrong to
hope for the downfall of their detectOrs.
Mr.. BROUGHTON'S wish is father to his
thought. We care nothing for such barking.
But the real object of his hate is not ourselves.
1t is a hatred against any paper that is firm and
true to democratic principles.
In this particular case he is barking at us
with unusual violence, because we have en-
deavored to drive him and his pack off from the
eggs in the public treasury which they have
sucked for several years.
We would not have priced a victory won, as
it was won, with no other knights in the arena
than the Impractical knights endorsed by Mr..
DANIELS.
We advised that the profit in the printing
contract be saved to the tax payers of the
state, and retired from the contest when a
caucus of our party decided to save it.
And in passing, we will say, that no man in
North Carolina is better rounded in the fun
damental principles of democracy or more
loyal to them than the editor of The News ard
Observer.
If Mr.. BROUGHToN could have his way no
doubt he would suppress every democratic
newspaper in North Carolina who has the
courage to expose his political duplicity and
to denOunce il.
The above is what we call talk when
talk is talk.
Something is radically wrong about
this printing business, and the little in
crate, joe daniels, should be called off.
The legislature still has a chance to
do something, and it can do it, and
should do it. Collectively, it has made
an ass of itself.
