A REASONABLE REeuEsr.-A petition sign
ed by forty voters of Tuttletown is now be-
fore the Board oe Supervisors asking that an
election precinct be established at that place.
The Tuuletown precinct was abolished by
the Radical majority of the Board some years
ago when it polled at least seventy-fve votes.
This was done because the Democratic party
was largely in majority there, while Shaw 5
Flat and Springfield, Radical strongholds
and only tbree-quarters tf a mile apart, were
allowed to retain precinct at each place.
Since the precinct was abolished the people
of Tut,.etown have bad to come TO Shaw S
Flat to vote many of them having to travel
FIVE miles. It is to be hoped that the Board
of Supervisors will grant their reasonable
request, We have now a Democratic major
i,y in that body and by SO doing they can n,
the same time advance tie interests of the
party and of justice, for it is n, more than
Just to allow precinct at any place petition
ed for by forty voters.

THE CEMETERY FEs1IvAL.--Everybod
must recollect that the Festival for the benefit
of the City Cemetery takes place next Men
day evening. The object of the Festival is
one that appeals to the finest feelings of our
nature and should meet with a liberal res
ponse. A decent sepulture of the dead is one
of the evidences of an exalted civilization
Thanks to the good taste, public spirit ard
energy of our worthy County Coroner, F. A.
Freund, Esq, the cemetery has been taste
fully ornamented With shade trees and sun
piled with convenient carriage roads. If the
trees are kept we'll watered and cultivated
for few years Sonora will be able to boast

Long ago we expressed in these col
umns the opinion that imperialism is
never made, out born. 1t comes una
wares upon q country-comes like thief
in the night. We have also repeatedly
said that the people of this country must
either coucede and act upon the theory
that the principles for which the South
fought in the late war are the true prin-
ciples of our government, or else see that
government drift into absolutism. What
Mr.. Stephens said in Q recent letter, may
be found in the files of this paper for the
year l866-namely, that the issue is now,
and has been all along, between absolu-
tsm on the one hand, and the southern
theory of the nature Of our form of gov
ernment. This is not, as Mr.. Stephens
says, "the chief practical question be-
fore the people of the several States. 1t
involves on the one eide constitutional
liberty, as established by the fathers;
and on the Other consolidation, absolu-
tism and monarchy of some sort or other.
There is no middle ground--no halfway
house-between the alternative of this
issue as above stated. Between these
the people must choose. They must take
one or the ether"


We do not know that it is even posi-
BILE to avoid the establishment of an abb
solute despotism in this country. 1t
seems to US that we already have as i'm
perial government as any one could
wish for. We have government which
claims and exercises the power of gov
erning the people by military officers; /;
suspending the right of trial by jury and
the writ of habeas corpus; imprisoning
men at pleasure; confiscating property
fer the offense of treason, to be judged
of by the men holding the Offices; con-
ferring or denying the right of suffrage at
will; expending the common treasure for
private and personal purposes; using
Government vessels and the railroads of
legal corporations as if they we're sub
ject to the control of the President and
his Cabinet; and, in fact, performing
every act which, as the Declaration of
Independence phrases it, may define
tyrant." We do not complain that these
things are done only in the Southern
States. We do not pretend to believe
that the North has any advantage over
us in this respect. We know full well
that New York ia ia just the same bonds
that fetter Virginia. The only difference
is that she has not yet attempted to free
herself from them, and therefore has not
yet felt the full weight of the iron hand
Of Uncle Sam. Her time will come soon
enough. The dogs with which she
hunted US will perhaps devour her in the
end. We say, therefore, that we do not
know that it is possible to prevent the
Of an absolute despotism

From the New Haven Journal. August 1871


Mr.. Moses II. Wilson, of Bridgeport,
on the Sunday night train out Of New
York, was struck over the eye by stone,
which came through window of the car
in which he was sitting, just as the train
was entering the tunne, and knocked
him over into the lap of gentleman by
whom he was seated. He has been con-
fined to his bed most of the time since by
a severe pain in the head. A gentleman
on the morning train from Stamford to
this city was also hit by stone through
the window few mornings since, which
caused the blood to flow so freely that he
was obliged to stop over at Bridgeport
for the $50 train, to staunch the wound
and wash the blood off.

A few nights ago lady, while taking
a walk, lost valuable diamond ring
from her finger in some unaccountable
way. Diligeut and extensive search
was made, without any clue to the ring,
and the lady gave it up as gone
" for good and all" Before day
light the following morning the lady
was surprised by the calls of her nurse,
small negro girl. On being ad'
mitted to her mistress, the girl, who had
not heard of the ring being lost, said she
had just had dream, in which she was
spprised when, where, and how the jewel
had been lost, and that, il allowed, she
felt sure she could find it. She then
described the place and manner in which
the ring disappeared, and begged her
mistress to 60 with her and test the
dream. This strange circumstances was
made known to the household, but all
treated it with the utmost incredibly.
It was afterward concluded to humor the
girl, however, aud she and several white
members Of the family proceeded to the
designated spot, more than one hundred
yards from the house. Here the dreamer
told her mistress that, as directed in her
dream, she must drop another ring, and
it would roll as guide to the missing
one. A plain gold ring was handed the
GIRL she let it fall, and, sure enough, it
rolled and stopped within two inches of
the lest diamond ring, which had gotten
into crevice between two bricks of the
pavement. 1t may be imagined that the
rinv-hunters were somewhat astounded
at the miracle. There is not the least
fiction about this curious dream and its
result.-Louisrill Courier Journal.

We copy from the Raleigh Standard the
the following report Of that portion OF
Bishop ATKINsoN's Address referring to
the question Of Ritualism


The Pastoral Letter of the House OF
Bishops of the late General Convention
expressed judgment on the snbiect of
certain Ritualistic practices, from which
Judgment there was no dissent avowed
among themselves. Fully concurring in
the views then set forth and the matter
assuming almost every day increasing mag
nitude and Importance, feel it to be my
duty to present to you the conclusions to
which have been led by repeated obser-
vations of Ritualistic services and good
deal of anxious reflections thereupon.


Ritualism, like most other general tsrms
is vague, and may be taken in different
senses. There are those no doubt who
would consider reverence for the house of
God and solemnity and dignity in its wor-
ship as savoring Of Ritualism. =.


TO me and to you, however, these things
seem to flow necessarily from deep and en-
ightened religious feeling and to conduce
very much, at the same time, towards
giving greater strength and intensity to
such q feeling. So far from censuring
them, I can gladly encourage. Zeal fol-

ANOTHER TREASURY MIsTAKE.-It must be
admitted, in view Of that story Of missing cur
rency in one Of the bureaus of the Treasury
Department, that Uncle Sam has a very unhand-
some way of getting even in his small losses. BY
what sort of justice and by what authority is it
that the government robs one hundred girls OF
seven dollars each because some unknown per-
son has robbed the government of seven hundred
dollars? II the girls are honest, do not retain
their money. If they are probably dishonest,
dismiss them; but by no means let the char
acter Of the government be soiled by such an
outrageous and contemplate pieco Of official
tyranny. We have not heard Of meaner
story in great while than this direct robbery
of the women. 1t surpasses in pitiful charac-
ter the acts of those people who rob poor
sewing girls in this city, for these never JUS
tify their iniquity by making wholesale impu-
tation on the honesty Of those they wrong out

Mr. CRAIG AND THE WESTERN UNION TELE-

the public the use of that great means of com
munication, the telegraph His apparatus, he
believes, will immensely reduce the expense of
telegraphing, and that it will at once save
time and money are the features in its favor
that he presents. He encounters at the outset
the hostility and opposition of the Western
Union Company. This is almost matter Of
course, for it is notorious that that company
does not favor any idea calculated to make
telegraphing cheaper than it is. We are glad
to note that the opposition Of the company to

this gentleman o statement of his knowledge of
the transactions Of that corporation, espe-
cially of what it has done to discourage the

truth, the public interest is sure to gain, and
we are therefore always disposed to encourage
