reached the bar room, where they went
to work at the cash drawer The cash
drawer rang up. which attracted the
attention of Reese Lewis. the bar
tender, who sleeps in a room on the bar
room. ON waking up Lewis tried to
turn on the lights. but found the wires
had been cut. He then fired a shot into
the bar room. A yell responded Lewis
did not dare venture into the bar room,
not knowing what he might encounter.

Ma GNANIMOUS COL, CARE.

Col. J. S. Carr, of Durham, has re-
Gently spent ten days at Jacksonville,
making observations as to how North
Carolina troops are farlng, along with
Others. Col. Carr became convinced
that the North Carolina soldiers need
ed some money so he offered to adj
vance for the Government pay for one
month to the boys from his own State.
This. 1t was said, would have taken
$25,O0O.
When Col. Carr began to make the
final arrangements to pay the soldier
boys, he was met by objection, saying
that it would make the other soldiers
dissatisfied. So they were not allowed
to receive their pay, Notwithstanding
the magnanimous offer Col. Carr had
made.
But Col. Carr will ever hold a warm
place in the hearts OF the North Caro-
lima troops now at Jacksonville.

North Carolina and Virginia. You
never hear Virginian speak OF the
people OF North Carolina in any other
than the most cordial terms, and we
are sure that the same sentiment to-
wards Virginia IS to be found among
North Carolinians. The absence of leal
ousy between the two commonwealth Il
subject of frequent remark. There
is extraordinary congenlality in the
temperaments OF their nhabitants
1t is this which makes us confident
that the close bonds of sympathy anc

SERIOUS CONTEMPLA TION.

Elsewhere we print an editorial ar
tlcle taken from the News & Observer
which we wish every man in the State,
white and black, could read and real
lze.
The statements made by the News
& Observer are serious to contemplate.
No one who has made any observa
tion of the present State administra-
tion doubts for a moment what our
contemporary says. Speaking of the
board Of directors for the Deaf, Dumb
and Blind Institute for the whites, the
News & Observer says: "With posi-
bly, one exception, each dfie of them
has string tied to his commission
The Governor holds their signed resig=
nation, to be accepted whenever they
dare to go contrary to his orders"
Such a state OF affairs is euoush to
make every seif-respecting man in North
Carolina, segardless of party Or color,
rise in Indignation and join hands in
hurting from place and power any and
all who hold position OF trust Ct any
kind in sympathy with such admins.

What more do the good people OF
North Carolina need than what they
have seen Of the present disgraceful
administration to spur them to every
possible effort to redeem our good old
State from the present shameful mis-
rule and hateful maladministratlon?
It is too plain to need argument.

years have done the work. These
blots and blurs On our State must be
rubbed away. Her face must again
shine under the light of decent govern
lnent. And this is the year In which
to do the great WORK., and the Demo
cratic party is the medium through
which 1t IS to be done.
Let the best men be put before the
people for their support-men against
whom there is no question.
We sometimes say that mans
political record is clean and so we can
afford to put him before the people,
Now, for once, let us have put before
the people men whose entire record is
clean-polltical and persona;-and then
we may have strong lever which will

lieutenant governor in 1856, James M.
Slade of Middlebury, nominee of the first
republican ticket, the custom of alternating
the office between the east and west side
was begun and has been continued to this
day.
Windsor county has the honor of fur
nishing the first lieutenant governor in the
person of Joseph Marsh of Hartford, who
served in 1778-1779. Then Windham
county brought forward Benjamin Carpen-
ter Of Guilford, 1779-1781.
Then, strange as it may seem, came a
New Hampshire man, Elisha Payne of Car
digan, N. H., 1781-1782, who was in
office during that eventtul period when is
OF the granite state towns had united with
Vermont. Payne was representative OF
Cardigan and was elected councillor, but
refused the Office. He was elected lieuten-
ant governor by the general assembly,
there being no choice by the people.
Thus it will be seen of the different men
who have been lieutenant governors Of
Vermont (without regard to the number of
terms), Addison county has furnished
three, Bennington two, Caledonia two,
Chlttenden four, Essex two, Franklin two,
Grand Isle one, Lamoille one, Orange four,
