hEASOr
The political situation In North
Carolina Is rapidly changing for the
better. The efforts Of Mr.. Simmons
and his machine to Danish reason
and to appeal to the worst passions
aud prejudices OF human na'ure
has for the good uame and welfare
OF the state, begun to react. The
masses OF the Christian and patri-
otto voters ~ the Democratic par v
have begun To ask themselves,
Where Will this thing stop; are we
not going too fart The arguments
and facts put forth by the Peoples
Party speakers and literature in
the last month has re-enthroned
reason, and this means a sure YER
dict for the liberties Of the people

NEGRO WHITE sUPREM ACY."

The people of the State at first
refused to believe that the Summons
Machine will dare to appoint negro
judges of the election over the head 8
of and against the protest of white
men.
The CAUCASIAN announced last
week . list Of these negro judges sp
pointed in many eastern counties,
under the diotation of "nigger" ca
lamity bowling 8 mmons. Since then
We have received information from
many other places show wing that me-
groes have been appointed by the
Wholesale. The list would fill q COL
umn Of THE CAUCASIAN
We give few more illustrations {:
In Pitt county, out of fourteen
poll holders, to which the Populists
were entitled, the Democr ratio cleo
tion board appointed NINE negroes,
when the Populists fsred and re-
commended the names of good and
iptelli gent white men.
In Greene county, the Democratic
election board appointed seven me-
groes as election judges over the
heads and protest of white men
Not onlyldid PopuIists and white
Republicans petition the Democratic
election boards to appoint good
white men for every precinct, but
also many fair Demo Gratis joined in
these petitions everywhere.

WELDON, N. 9. July 9Th, 1870.
The Democratic politicians around
here are boastiDg that they are COINS
to carry the election no matter how
the votes are cast. One man boosted
that they would garry it if there va,
not single Democratic vote cast; tn.
other, that they would carry it by
force even If they were beaten honest
ly by $4,000 majority at the polls.
These local machine politician
around here seems to have taken their
cue from AycOck's "fraud and force"
speech at Snow Hill, and from Wad-
del,'s "shot gun" speech at Liberty,
and Mr., Simmons many ipoendiary
and 1nflamatory utterances; but l
write to tell you that the masses of the
people do not endorse such laWless
talk. Many Democrats who are chris
tisos and law abiding citizens are con-
demning it. They say that things are
going too far and that the halt must
be called or it means bad things for
the State.

WHITE MEN DENIED REGISTRATION

More Proof That tho Simmons Disfran
chlsiDg Machine 10 After the White
Man More Than the Negro.
For the Caucasian:
Whiteville, N. O., July THE
Democratic registrar in Fairbluff
township is refusing to register
white men without any cause. l
mention a case in point:
Mr.. John Edmund. a man who is
forty years old, farmer, and who
has lived here all of his life and
vo ed at every election has been
denied registration. He answered
corr, city every question and COM
piled fully in every aspect with
the law. After the registrar had
sworn him he proc. eded to enter
his name on a clip of paper. When
Mr. Edmunds called the attenticn
of the registrar to the tact that he
ought to register him by putting
his name in the Registration Book
and not ON a separate piece Of pa
per, the registrar got mad and re-
fused to register him at all. This
registrar is no doubt acting under
instruc; ions from Mr.. Simmons.
Thus we see that this politi al
machine has begun already to dis
franchise white men even before
they get their infamous disfran-
chising amendment adopted. Their
high handed conduct has caused
much indignation here and will
cause the amendment to lose many
votes. This is q case where truly,
