the UNJUST and insulting discharge of
the plaintiff by the defendant as its coun-

to permit amy cross-examination of the
said witness as aforesaid, plaintiff be
came convinced that said litigation was

he thereupon became insane"

humiliation, plaintiff, not possessing sur

Congress will mseat Bellamy a
once. The election will be declared
void. and another election called" yes
terday said Mr. j. NJ. Moody, Of
Waynesville, who is here attending Su
preme Court.
Mr.. Moody is one of the most promi
nent Republicans in the Western parl
of the State. He has been in Washing
ton since the meeting of Congress.
Il don't think there is any sort Of
doubt that Mr. Bellamy will lose his
seat. All the talk among Republican,
congressman, and especially among
members of the Elections committee IS
to this effect. The Wilmington riots,
the Gov. Russell incident at Maxton
and the whipping of negroes by the Red
Shirts attracted such widespread notice
that Congress feels that it must take
some action in regard to it. And so it
will simply declare that there was no
election But Dockery will not be given
the seat. Another election will be
called

nington riot and other reported dis
orders in the Fifth district. That is
one reason was able to find the senti-
ment touching this contest. Congress
men have read both briefs in the case,
and are anxious for all the information

case to attract so much attention or

Touching Parsons effort TO unseat

Il don't know what viii be done in
that contest. I did not hear it men

are that Crawford will retain his seal.
understand he has a very strong case,
and certainly there is no political reason
50 far as the present House is concern
ed why he should be unseated. The Re
pubIicanS have a clear majority Of nine
teen on any sort of question. Iheh
when it comes to the financial question
they will have the support of many
Northern and Southern Democrats
Mr.. Moody acknowledges that the
Republicans of the State are organizing
against the amendment, and he predicts
that it will be overwhelmingly defeated.
Asked as to what he based this predic-
tion on, he said:
First, that the people in the west
think the fifth section of the amend
ment unconstitutional and will be 50
declared by the courts.
Second, when this is done they thinl;
it will then be simply matter of edu-
cational qualification, and that the white
man along with the negro Of the east
will be disqualified ii it becomes neces-
sary."
This latter, of course, is the RepuEli-
can view OF the situation. The Demo
crafts who are here attending the Demo
cratic State committee meeting look al
it through quite different glasses.
Il think said one, that the vote Oh
the amendment in my county will be 4
party vote We viii lose a few Demo
Gratis and will gain a few Republicans
These gains and losses, however, will
ha inSignificant"
1T will take work to carry the
amendment in the West, said another
The Republicans are already organized
and working to defeat it. Every Re.
publican office-holder in the State is al
ready actively in the fight. Every Re
publican postmaster and revenue Officer
is distributing their paper, the Asheyile
Gazette, and soliciting subscriptions foI
it. There is no fooling ourselves; We've
got to meet work with work.
THE worst calamity that could hap
pen to this State" said still another
and he is from the extreme West, Is
the defeat Of the amendment. tn,
next worst thing is for it to be car
ried by the East and defeated by tns
West. But we will carry it. | have ne
