THE WESTERN DEMOCRAT, CHARLOTTE 1L C. t$Utn tmoctat. W.J. YATES, Editor and Proprietor. CHARLOTTE, IV. C. October 1, 1807. CsT After an absence of over two weeks we re turned home tbe latter part of last week. We have purchased a large amount of new material for our Office. We have no new promises to make, and will only say that while life and health laMs we expect to publish the "Western Democrat," and punua the same straight forward, indepen dent course in the future we have in the past. We went North on business, mainly, and after that was transacted we devoted what little time We hlid t spare to recreation and pleasure, and therefore b'-ard and talked politics no more than we could hIp. It ii a disagreeable subject at home, and we are not disposed to engage in it when absent. The fact is, the business men and working men of the North seem to know but little of the real "situation" of the South, and they do not appear to care much about it. This is true with regard to the great mass of the Northern people. The people are attending to their merchandise and work-pbops, while the politicians and office seekers are playing the devil and making all the fuss. In every case where we heard an expres sion from a business or working man (car driver, laborer, mechanic or merchant.) it was in oppo sition to negro rule in the South. They mani fested but little love or good feeling for the negro uot near as much as niue-teuths of Southern men feel 'and show by daily acts. Whenever ppportunity offered we told such persons that they acted hypocritically, for they voted one way and talked another. The reply was, that they had not properly understood the effects of the late reconstruction acts, and were surprised that w many white men were disfranchised and banned. The difficulty about the matter is, that how ever great the reaction at the North may be, and however much regret at negro supremacy the Northern people may now eipre.s, it will do us no good under present circumstances. The pre sent Congress will be in power for some time to come, and will do with the South whatever it pleaes. Therefore we conclude that the South ern people cannot do better than accept the terms now offered, and await the future to get wrongs and grievances redressed. For our own part, we place but little confidence in the re action of Northern sentiment or the promises and professions of Northern politicians of either party. The leaders of both parties are striving to hold and get office, and if they can gratify their am bition and fill their pockets thy care nothing as to what becomes of the inhabitants of the so called Military Districts. Southern people must make up their minds to work for their oven interests, promote good feeling among all classes, and build up their waste places. . m Fall Goods. Our merchants are receiving large stocks of Dry Goods and Groceries, and are prepared to supply the country at as reason able rates as can be obtained this side of the Northern markets. Trade is reviving, and the prospect for good health and a good business in our little iulaud city is cheering. PAKnoxEi). Warren Lilly, colored, convicted at the Fall Term of Martin county Superior Court of larceny, and sentenced to nx moot lis imprison ment at hard labor, was to day pardoned by Gov. Worth. Raleigh Progress, 267A. We are not disposed to say or do anything for the mere purpose of injuring Gov. Worth, but we mast protest against the pardon of such criminals as mentioned in the above paragraph. Thieving and rascality is on the increase, and honest peo ple are the sufferers. Hut how can we hope for a change for the better whu our Governor re leases rogu-s from punishment ? Good disposed, honest people want the sentences of our Courts executed, and we repeat that we protest against the Governor's interference in turning rogues loose on the public. Union Cor STY. We learn that some diffi culty occurnd in Union couuty last week be tween the Sheriff and parties who resisted his authority. It seems that a negro man from abroad has recently went to that couuty and been behaving badly. 11 carried concealed weapons and had been drilling the negroes in military companies. The Sheriff was ordered by the commander of this District to arrest him, which he did. wheu a mob of blacks and whites released the prisoner from the hands of the Sheriff by force. Whereupon, Capt. Lazelle promptly sent a detachment of soldiers to the county and arrested the persons concerned in interferins: with the Sheriff. Some f.-ur or five white men and as many negroes were brought to this plaee and confined in Jail. They deserve and no doubt will receive severe punishment. The trial of these persons was commenced at Headquarters on Saturday last. GASTON Coi'XTY. A friend gives us the com plete registered vote of Gaston as follows : Whites I0(K), blacks 450 white majority 5oI. - a Boll Worm. Mr Baxter II. Moore, of this vicinity, showed us on Saturday last souio cotton bolls that had been badly damaged by the worm, and we regret to learn that the prospect for con siderable damage to the cotton crop is threaten ing. The worm appeared in this section within the past two wettks. FROST. On Tuesday morning. Sept. 24th, we saw heavy frost between Baltimore aud Wash ington City. - tJ& The population of Wilmington. N.

In accordance with the Civil Rights Bill passed by Congress, it has been 'contended that blacks and whites may inter marry, regardless of any State laws to the con trary. In a case, recently, in this State, where the State authorities refused a license to a white man to marry a negro woman, Gen. Sickles gran ted permission under the civil rights bill. But in the Northern State of Maine, one Judge at least has refused to acknowledge the authori ty of the bill in this respect. In Augusta, Maine. a black man married a white woman, when both were arrested, confined in jail, tried and fined ; $40 each, imprisoned 30 days, and the marriage i declared null and void. Judge Walton said that ! the civil rights bill could not supersede the statutes of Maine. Southerk Trade. New York is crowded with Southern merchants buying their Fall and Winter stocks. The few days that we staid in New York, we saw about one hundred North Carolina merchants in the city. The New York people don't seem to be afraid that the property of Southern men will be confiscated. - The expected Change. Washington letter writers know very little more than other people about public affairs, but inasmuch as newspaper readers attach some importance to their sayings, we give the following from tbe pen of one of the professed prophets : "It is very certain that the political news from different States is very unfavorable to the Re publicans. New York is going for the opposition. Pennsylvania will go Democratic, and even in Ohio, though the Radicals may elect a Governor, it is now confidently expected that they will he in a minority iu the Legislature and thus losa the election of a Senator. The corruption, which exists every where in Government. State, munici pal and local officers, has become so great and taxation is becoming so burdensome, that people are becomming frightened. They are being aroused to the conviction that it is necessary to protect their property before they are entirely stripped of it. In Ohio the negro question has its influence. There has been a considerable in flux of blacks into that State, and they no more wish the blacks to rule there than they intend that the Coolies and Chinamen shall partic ipate in the government in California. The question of races has settled the election there. It will have its effect iu other States." We shall soon see whether these predictions are true or not. If the elections result as pre dicted, we cannot see how they are to benefit us. They will not affect, to any material extent, the Republican majority in the present Congress; and it must be remembered that Congress makes the laws which affects the South. Besides, we have no assurance or promise even that the op ponents of the Republican party at the North, if they succeed in getting into power, will repeal existing laws. In fact, before a change in the Congress can possibly be effected, the Recon struction laws will be complied with by the South ern States, for they cannot afford to wait two or three years for a change in Northern sentiment. The present unsettled condition of the country is ruinous to our interests, and is seriously felt by both blacks and whites. E. J. Hale Sc Son op New York. No southern man ought to go to New York without calling on . J. Hale & Son, 16 Murray street, (formerly publishers of the Fayetteville Ob server). If he does not want to buy Books or Stationery, he can find southern newspapers at their store, and will meet a cordial welcome. In addition to stlling books, stationery, &c. the Messrs. Hale publish books. Being thoroughly acquainted with their business, they can sell on as reasonable terms as any house in New York. We were gratified to learn that their business is increasing. We hope the managers of southern schools will give the publications of E. J. Hale & Sou a trial. Virginia Cities. We heard an intelligent citizen of Virginia remark, recently, that more produce and t radii went to the city of Richmond over the Richmond and Danville Railroad than over all other lines combined, and that most of this produce came from North Carolina much of it from the counties and adjoining counties along the line of the Road between Greensboro and Danville. Then there is the vast amount that goes to Norfolk, Portsmouth and Petersburg. ! It may well be said that North Caroiiua has been a city-builder for her sister States. We find that the opiuion prevails at the North among business and working men gener ally, that the late Amnesty Proclamation of President Johnson couferred the right to register and vote on those who are excluded by the Re construction Acts. Having been absent from home 16 days, we are not posted as to the ex predion of opinion here in the South. But it is certuinly an error to suppose that the President intended by that proclamation to interfere with the qualification of voters as fixed by law of Con gress. We believe it has "been given out by authority that the President did not mean to en franchise any who were disfranchised, but merely refers all such to the Courts, if they want to test their rights. Rather poor comfort. Who is willing to stand a law suit on the subject ? CP It seems to be generally understood that the elections in all the Southern States will be held the first Monday in November. A Wash ington correspondent says : The President, and Gen. Grant had a con- vnltnt im on this snhlPft n few (Ihvs urn. Thau - J j - o " - "-J agreed that under the reconstruction acts neither the Lxecutive nor the General iu Chief has any control or authority over elections or registration in the military districts; but it is understood they have agreed on the propriety of holding elections on the same day. aud that it would be advisable to suggest the same to the Generals commanding, not in the shape of an order, how ever, but as an advisory communication, which Gen. Graut was expected to send." -b Jnnv Robinson's Great Show. Th Shear man has arrived, and with hiin the pictures to represent the pertormance to be given in this place on the 12th inst.

The -Rbaqtioh ."No doubt the South has many earnest, true friends In the North, who would. If they could, relieve her from her present embarrassed and disagreeable condition ; bat tbe reaction" we hear so much about does not amount to a great deal so far as principle are concerned. For instance, the result of the late elections in Connecticut is claimed as an indication of reaction in Northern sentiment t bat many persons here in the South will be surprised when we tell them that Mr English, tbe gentleman who was elected by tbe Democrats of Connecticut as Governor, voted in Congress for the bill which forced negro suffrage upon tbe people of the Dis trict of Columbia, and also for the Civil Rights Bill, a measure which ignores tbe rights of the States as guarantied by the Constitution of the United States ! What do you think of "reaction' that throws such men as that into office I The real difference between English aad his Republi can opponent is slight, if any. Politics in Nobth Carolina. We have been looking over our State exchanges of the past two or three weeks for the purpose of post ing ourself in North Carolina news, and we re gret to find that politics is creating considerable feeling and occupying a great deal of attention. What is tbe use of always being in a "rumpus" about reconstruction. Tbe best way is to keep cool, and let what is to come to pass come as speedily as possible. If everybody would refuse to hold an office what a glorious peaceable time we should have. Cotton. The cotton market everywhere seems to be greatly depressed at this time, and declines are reported every week. The New York Express of last week remarks : "The feeling in regard to cotton is very gloomy. Private telegrams from Liverpool reports a fur ther decline, some quotations as low as 8 and 84 pence. There are fears of more failures.' We hope and believe that the price of cotton will soon advance. . mm . CP" "The Evening Star" is the name of a new daily paper started at Wilmington, N. C, by Wm. II. Bernard, Editor and Proprietor. No man knows better how to manage a paper than Mr Bernard, and we hope he will meet with that success which energy and industry deserves. Humbuggert. At a republican meeting id Cincinnati on Saturday, after speeches by Sen ators Sherman and Wade of Ohio, Senator Thayer ot Nebraska said : "I have recently been in Maryland and th e District of Columbia, haviog left Washington only night before last. While there I took special pains to inform myself in regard to tbe present purposes of Mr Johnson, and obtained what I am about to state from reliable authority. I declare upon my responsibility as a Senator of the United States that to-day Andrew Johnson meditates and designs forcible resistance to the authority of Congress. I make this statement deliberately, having received it from unques tioned and unquestionable authority. I cannot point out the occasion on which be may attempt to use military force. It may be to prevent the assembling of Congress, articles of impeachment, or it may be for the purpose of forcing the Southern Senators and Representatives to seats in Congress. Tbe question may be asked, "bow can- he do such a thing?" You recollect that six months ago Gov. Swann of Maryland was elected a United States Senator, and that a few weeks afterward he declined, giving grave rea sons of State as to the cause. It was -that Lieut Gov. Cox of that State could not be trusted for Johnson's purposes. There is to-day a stand ing army in Maryland, or organized militia force, such as no other State iu the Union has, officered mainly by returned rebels. When the time comes which be looks for, under some pre tense Johnson may declare Maryland and the District of Columbia under martial law, and call upon Gov. Swann to bring forth bis militia. There is nothing that will deter Johnson from his purpose, except when the issue comes that his courage may fail. I make this statement that tbe American people may know the danger that threatens their peace and safety. If Penn sylvania and New York give democratic major ities in the coming elections it will embolden him to carry out his purpose ; and I hope that you, the people of Ohio, will be warned in time, and so cast your votes as to rebuke and prevent the mad designs of this bad man who is now acting President of tbe United States But, gentlemen, let me say to you that whenever Johnson attempts force, and orders any soldiers he may have under bis command to resist the authority of Congress, his doom is sealed. The fate from which he has preserved the traitor Jefferson Davis will then be meted out to him ; aye, when that time comes, 500,000 men from Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio will fly to arms and tramp the soil of Maryland to reach the beleagured capital and rescue it from the hands of rebels and traitors. In conclusion, let me say to you, who have borne the flag before the enemy, do youi duty in the coming elections vote for those men who by their recoid have shown themselves to be your friends, and the friends of the government. Rally as one man to the standard of justice and liberty, and that flag will yet float over a united and happy land." Such speeches are only made for party pur- poses. 1 Strong Language The Philadelphia Sun day Mercury contains the following in its Wash ington correspondence : "Let Congress attempt to depose our worthy Chief Magistrate, and such a hurricane will be raided as the world never saw. Thirty thousand armed and equipped militia from the State of Maryland, to say nothing of from hundreds of thousands from the North, would assemble and . fight for the maintenance of tbe government against the oppressors and usurpers. Then, in stead of regal honors at the executive mansion, as contemplated by Mr Wade, a baiter would be his end a fit punishment for bis treachery and cootumacy." A tempest in a teapot ! That's all.

The Raleigh Standard gives the following fig ures and estimates of registered voters in this State: - "The tggregrate returns from 61 counties foot up 103,299.

We learn from the Asheville News that these two diseases so fatal to swine, are still prevailing in Wilkes, Caldwell, Alleghany and adjoining Counties. The best known regimen to guard against these diseases, is plenty of pure water, charcoal and rotten wood, placed conveniently to tbe place where they are fed. For porcine diptheria a strong tea made from smart-weed or water pep per, and used as a gargle, is a very efficient remedy. Buying up Confederate Bonds. Tbe N. Y. Tribune has tbe following in its Wash ington correspondence : Trustworthy news from New Orleans is re ceived to the effect that it is learned that one of the largest brokers of that city has purchased 265,000 of eight per cent. Confederate bonds of the issue of 1861, and $300,000 of tbe issue of 1863, to fill an order from the North or from Europe. The prices paid are not known; but it is thought that this is a part of tbe sum of a million in Confederate eight per cents, ad vertised for in the National Intelligencer ol a recent date. It might ensue that, in the set tlement of the Alabama and other claims be tween the United States and tho Government of Great Britain and France, the two latter should take the ground which ours has repeat edly assumed viz: that tbe rebellious States were never out of tbe Union, and a corollary that the parent government is responsible for the damages which they have committed. The officers of tbe bank here, advertising for these bonds, state that a request was made on them by some parties in Europe for a number of tbe notes, which they wished merely for a curiosi- tj." Virginia Banks. Judge Parker, of the Circuit Court of the State, I as rendered a decis ion that tbe old Banks making assignments un der tbe act of February, 1866, cannot give pref erence to any class of creditors; that note hol ders aod depositers stand upon a perfect equali ty. Deposits of Confederate money are to be treated as debts of the bank, to the extent of the value at the time of deposit. Matters in Bankruptcy. No debt cre ated by a bankrupt while acting in any fiducia ry character can be discbaged under the bank rupt law, but such debt may be proved with others, and tbe dividend will be credited on ac count. A person applying for the benefit of the bank rupt law cannot obtain a discharge from his debts if he has lost any part of bis estate in gaiming within four months of the filing of the application.

Died, on tbe 26th of August, 1867, at her home in Catarba county, N O., of spinal affection, Mrs. Mast V. Smith, consort of Wioslow A. Smith, and daughter of W. P. and Sarah S. Henley, aged about 23 years. Tbe demise of Mrs. Smith is another verification of the assertion, that "Death loves a shining mark." She possessed in a bigh degree those qualities which win tbe love and esteem of every refined heart. Kind, cheerful and sportive, she was tbe centre of attraction in tbe social circle, and the light and joy of tbe hearthstone. When the writer of this saw ber last, he regarded ber a perfect picture of health she was blooming in tbe strength and beauty of a mature womanhood. But ''the pestilence that w&Iketh in darkness, and wasteth at noonday," marked ber for bis prey; and after an illness of one week, daring which she suffered much pain, she willingly passed "beyond the river. Certainly none had brighter earthly hopes than she; and if tbis life has any charms, surely those clustered aronnd her. She was much loved, and had much to love ; she bad much to live for, bat more to die for. Then, weeping ones, who might think it strange that Mary should be taken away so soon : "Judg not tbe Lord with feeble sense, Bat trnst bim for bis grace ; Behind a frowning Providence, He hides a smiling face." Though sbe can no longer enjoy, with loved ones, tbe fruits of their earthly toils ; yet, she has left tba assurance, that sbe now enjoys better things above And she has left behind a goodly estate I Here it is : "Meet me in Heaven " Then catch the strain Where thou art gone, Adiens and farewells are a sound unknown. May I but meet thee on that peaceful shore, The parting soand shall pass my lips no more.'
