FULL OF DISGRACE.
A Negro Politician, Not an Officer, Rejects
and Selects Jurors.

elizabeth City Economist)
We had never thought We would have
to bow our head in shame for old Gates.
Her honor has always been dear to us
and her name the synOnyme Of all that
was excellent in virtue and heroism in
manhood. But, alas! We have lived to
see it fall and have it's name stained
with disgrace. Countrymen Of the Will
leys, the Cuttings, the Parkers, the
CoOpers, the. Roberts, the MOrgans, the
Smiths, and others as high up in the
roll of honor weep with US at her deg
radiation.
The commissioners of Gates county
are Geo. j.. CoSten, j. f. Sparkman and
Nathaniel Eure. The two first are pub
pops, of the darkest, deepest dye. The
last is a true democrat, but helpless in
the hands Of his ignOble associates.
Some weeks since they drew a jury
preparatory to the meeting of the SUI
perior court for the county last week.
When they were drawing the jury
they called on Jim Jenkins, a buck
negro and republican politician, to as
Sist them in selecting a jury. Every
one of the names as drawn was sub
mitted to the negro. Jim, to pro-
nOUnce upon his fitness as a juror. If he
SAD no, ne was thrown out, II jim &C
Cepted him he was accepted. When the
outrageous ceremony was finished Jim
had selected fourteen negroes, and re-
jected as decent white men as were to
be found in the county.
We do not know COSten nor Spark
man, the Two nice commissioners, and
we have no ambition to know them.
We once knew a George COSten and
his father James, but We are sure he
would not 50 dishOnor his lineage as to
be a party to such a disgraceful trans
action. The mere suspicion of 1t nau-
SeateS us. We dismiss the foul thought.
We beg pardon for the unwelcOme sus-
piCiOn, jim was not a commissioner
nor an officer of any kind, but was
simply an OfficiOus adviser of a mis-
cradle majority of the county board of
commissioners, who needed the advice
of Jim's superior intelligence. Some of
the negroes Jim selected had not paid
their taxes, and had to pledge their
jury ticket for the payment.
When Judge Bryan learned of this
disgraceful procedure, he directed the
solicitor to call the attention Of the
grand jury to the conduct of the COM
mi3siOners, and to suggest their in
dictment. The decent people of Gates
county are outraged by it, and the hon
! Ored name of Gates county is in the
dust.

d.. Hunter WithdrawS.

Frankfort, Ky. April 21.-Dr. Hunter
finished writing his communication to the
caucus called at his request for s O'Clock
tonight and then left with his wife on the
7:25 o'clock Chesapeake and Ohio train
for Washington. He came out boldly for
Deboe this afternoon, and he had gotten
all his friends at work for him, but the
latter and his friends are evidently wor-
ried that the doctor should have gone
away before he had dictated his success
sor. When the caucus met at s o'clock
Chairman Jones stated its purpose and
the roll was called. The clerk called the
names of Baird, Stout and Norman, the
gold democrats who have been voting for
Hunter. There were a number of proxies.
Those not present, even by proxy. were
Deboe, Whitaker, Stout, Norman and
Jasper. There were present 20; &c

Thomas showed up with a telegram au-
thorizing him to cast his proxy for Hon.
w. j. Deboe. There was of course, a
wrangle over this. but the chair decided
the question would not be passed upon
till the voting was begun. Mr. Howard
then read the communication from DR..

Mr.. Flippen introduced a resolution that
in accepting the withdrawal of DR..

pressions of confidence in his ability. in

moved to proceed to the nomination of a
senator and Mr.. W. H. Morgan. Of the
Holt side. proposed a p~ostponement for a
few days till they all could agree on
some one man.
Finally, after a two hours wrangle. a
motion to adjourn till tomorrow night
was voted upon. Mr.. Lieberth made the
point that certain proxies could not be
voted on this question. and the chair sus-
tanned his point. The vote to adjourn was
carried by one yOte-32 to 81.

New York Stock Market.

New York. April 21.-The European war
situation continues to largely dominate
the course Of the market for stocks here,
as was shown by the quick adjustment
to the London parity in the quotations
at the opening. The day was without spe-
cial developments otherwise, outside OF
special movements in individual stocks.
London showed a further fractional ad-
vance for American securities, and this
was probably due in part to- the fact that
yesterdays London prices were somewhat
depressed by the excessive depression cx-
listing in New York on Monday. Prices
for Americans continued to improve in
London during the day, and there was
some buying for London account here.
The result has been that prices here have
recovered the loss sustained on Monday.
and are very generally above Saturdays
close to the extent of a varying fraction.
Trading was dull today, however. outside
some special cases, dealers having APP
parently been convinced hy their expert
ence of Monday when they acted without
any foreign exchanges to take their cue
from, and largely oversold the market on
war news, that they did not understand
much about the eastern question and that
they would prefer TO await n clearer COM
prehensiOn before buying or selling fur
Their. The total sales for the day were less
than 200. 900 shares. The bond market
ruled firm and higher, with a lack OF
feature in the prominent issues. The ag-
greeate sales were Ss34. 900. Governments
gained slightly on purchases Of III so.

Shipment Allowed a Consignment q To.
baccO From Cuba.

Washington. April 2l.-United States
department from Havana that the Span
ish authorities there have released one
consignment of Cuban tobacco for ship
ment TO a New York firm. This tobacco
has been held in Havana since May last
when Captain General Weyler. by a de-
cree forbade the further expectation OF
tobacco from thn island. The American
importers F1r" made many strong pro-
tests TO the tte department against the
workings OF the decree. which II was
commonly understood had a double pur-
pose. first. TO insure employment 10 the
cigar makers OF Cuba, who otherwise
would be tempted TO join the insurrection.
and. second. to destroy the occupation OF
the Cuban cigar M kers In Key West and
New York, and thus stop their contribu-
lions 10 the insurrectionary war fund.
The state department has taken up the
cause OF the importers. but was Obliged to
confne their demands TO allowance OF the
shipment or tobacco actually bought or
contracted for by Americans before the
decree went into effect. Tobacco released
before the decree. As to that only con-
tracted for IL appears to DO doubtful
whether 1t can be released through the
efforts of the state department. The
Spanish contention Is hat they have a
full right to stop all exports, leaving to
States only a claim against the persons In
Cuba who have broken their contract.
which claims may be prosecuted In the
Spanish courts. The position Of our gov

ed by war. to bring away their effects.
