It Is probable he will speak at Durham, and il health improves at other poiuts. » ' y DISHONEST RADICALS. The batch of (telegraphic news pub lished yesterday is a stinging indictment against the republican party. 1. In South Carolina ex-Treasure Parker, a violent radical audcarpet bagcr, has been convicted of embezzling seventy-five thousand dollars from the treasury of the State during his admin istrations. 2 Another dispatch tells of the defal cation ot Matthew Drosser, a republican mail contracter on the line between Yicksburg and New Orleans. 3; Still another. "The Postmaster Ceueral has commenced suit against the bondsmeu of over 40 defaulting contrac tors." The ''Forty Thicves"*to the front again 1 Of course all these Government contractors are favorites with the Radi cal administration. 4. But it is the reveuue service that shows worse. U S collector Johnson, of Louisville, is shown to have stolen eighty-two thousaud nine hundred dol lars I That was a big haul; and it ap pears he liasbeen carrying on his rogue ry tor years. t 5. lu St Louis, Missouri, eight reve nue officials have just been indicted for dishonestpractices. ' 6. And in a letter to tho Attorney Genml of Louisiana, Gov. Kellogg makes this damiftng charge: " Invcsti g ttions that have taken place before both ; civil and criminal courts, and thcinves -1 tigation and report of State examiners, J disclose gross culpability on tho part of j other pci'Botts whoso acts have injuied | (he Stale, and fdr years have cast discred lit on the government. I especially call your attention to the rccoid in this res pect and request that you will immedi ately take prompt measures to bring to justice all those who have been guilty ot defrauding the State as disclosed by these inquiries." This is a telegraphic picture of Repnb licanis n. It is no fanciful sketch. It is fact, flashed over tho wires from au thentic sources.— Sentinel The Radical party fights against re form of the Constitution. It don't want it and it dreads it. But Judge Rodmau says reform is needed.—Judge Thomas says so. Judgo Cautwell says so. Mark Erwin says 'so. Lehman. B ays 60. Candler says so. Judge Watts says it does not, Ike Young is with him; and so is Judge Tourgee who made it. and contluued it to keep himself two years longer in of fice than the time for which he was elected. But all the Democrats say it does need reform, and they will reform it.— JYcum. The Democrats called the Convention to reform the Constitution. Some of the leading Republicans saw the neces sity and joined in the call. Letthe rad ical party under tho influenced office holders and Ihe w eight of government patronage, stand before the people as the enemies of reform aud relief.-—Let theii4hollow friendship for the poor man be exposed, and let their courtship of the negro be made known. As a party issue, the Democrats ac cept it.— News. Capt. S. Battle, savs the Roanoke News, has accepted the appointment of Chief Marshal for the next Fair of tho Roanoke and Tar River Agricultural Society. Tho Executive committee were fortunate in their selection as one better fitted for the responsible position, or who will give more satisfaction could not have been found. We con gratulate the Society on its choice. Gen. Cox met the redoubtable Judge Watts iu Morganton on Tuesday aud gave him a most genteel dressing. But the Judge will do the. Democratic party good by being suffered to play offin the West without hiudrance. The people of the West will see of what material they make radical Judges.— News. Mrs. Eliza Rboney, living near Mr. Jake Mestelser's, .was struck by lightning last Saturday evening. She was sitting near the fire place and a current of electricity came down the chimney and she was stuck lifeless, but by applying restoratives she was brought to life agaii%iu about two hours.—Piedmont jft-ew. Mr. Tourgee chafes nnder the charge , that he is playing second fiddle to the editor oi the North State. But it is I true, for Mr. Ball made the platform on Which he stands, and although he don't ' like to acknowledge it he can't help ' himself, 3 SAMPSON COUNTY. —Hon. J. M. Leach will address tbe people of Sampson, at Newton Grove, on Friday July 80tb, r and at Clinton. July 31st. We predict for him rousing crowds. — Journal — : Rev. A. F. Redd has disposed of his 1 interest in the Rateigh Biblical lie. 1 eorder to Rev. C. Bailey, of Warren ' ton who will assume immediate charge 5 of that journal. » i Col. A. R. Lamar will hare charge i of the. political department of tbe new j Catholic paper in Savanab. v-, , ~ . The Goldsboro Messenger has a com mtfiiication, complaining of the invasion | of a Hall, opened for an exhibition ior the benefit of the Oxford Assylum, by a crowd of negroes,who look their seats among the whites promisciuosly, and refused to chauge positions, and defied the attempt to put them out. They said if they were put out it would be the (leanest put out the whites ever had. The radicals say the Civil Rights bill means nothing, llero ilis put to practi cal use to insult ladies and childreu, aud the nejroes secure in their-insolence be cause they have the government to back * them. Will the Democrats aid directly or iudirccly a party that executed such a law. — News. Two negroes tried in Wilmington before Judge McKoy for a deadly as sault upon a white man were acquitted. All the Jurors were negroes. The in jured party was a white man. Judge McKoy reprimanded tho Jury severely, telling them the evidence was so clear and strong they could not possibly havo brought in a verdict of "not guilty" un less they had been totally unfit for their duties. He ordered their names to be struck from the list of Jurors, Two negroes were subsequently arrested aud committed for tampering with the Jury.— Recorder. Mr.E. A. Wright, of Gold3boro"hav ing been nominated for office by the Radicals, published a manly card iu the Messent/er, declining to receivo office at the hands of that party, and uses the following strong language: «I had rath er toil for an honest living by the sweat of my brow and live poor, and die poor, and at last be buried by subscrip tion; than to bring this disgrace upon myself, mv wife and my little ones, aud the rest of my kindred and tlte whole white race thrown in.— Journal. Dunn? tho campaign Hst summer the Republican candidates assured the people that Congress xcould not pass the civil rights bill, and if it did Graxt would certainly velo if . How has-this promise been kept? Congress did pass the bill, and th? signatueofU. S. Grant made it a law. Now,.when these same Radicnls assure you that the law will not be so amended as to include schools' don't believe them. Falsus iu tmuni ) falsus in omnibus. —Sentinel. The radicals howl now over the prob able expenses of the Couvention. They made the people howl in 1868-*69, when they hold power, and, set Littlefieid, Holden, Swepson &Co. to robbing the treasi ry, while Kirk and Bergen jnade war on the people. A lady correspondent, nrho assumes to know how boys ought to bo trained, writes to an exchange as follows: "Ob, mothers! hunt out the soft, tender, ge nial side of your boy's nature." Moth ers often do—with an old shoe. Tho laying of the cornerstone for tbe "Temple ot Isreal" iu Wilmington on Friday the 16th, was celebrated wilh imposing ceremonies. The Star con tains a lengthy report of the sermon, address, banquet, torches, &c. Butler professing honesty, Colfax lect uring on morality, or Beechcr preach ing purity and charity, are not more absurd than the Republican Party of North Carolina prating of economy. Judge McKoy hold the first Court iu the new county of Pendar week be fore last. The session of the Court last ed twenty minutes. There was no bus iness before the Court. Six negroes were brought from New Hanover county last week to the Pen itentiary,—all for larceucy, and sent enced to terms of from twonty years down to three. M. S. Bobbins Esq. of Randolph has been called upon to fill the vacancy oc cassioned by the declination of Dr. Cra ven to run for Convention. Shelby Banner: 9L Mr. Bledman, who was living in Rutherford county f was killed last week by ligbning, while hauling up wheat. ' Gen. T* D. Sewall, of Maine, who succeeds "Long" Perry in the Reveuue department of the Carolina*, has reach , ed Raleigh. It is thonght that th? wheat crops in , the west havo been injured while in the . shock froirt the continuous rains of the \ past two weeks. Tbe Raleigh Light Infantry will cele i brate the anniversary of their organiza t tion, by an excursion to Kittrell's » Springs, to-morrow. t # It appears that North Carolina fur nish es three fourths of tbe dried black s berry crop of tbi^country —15,000 bar- L rels out of 20,000 raised. The Supreme Conrt have decided 8 that Dunn is thfttegally elected Sheriff of Wake. ' - B B. Gratz Brown has b«en promoted * from the governorship of Missouri to tbe editorship of tbe St. Louis Times.
