HOW DOES THE CONVENTION
. STAND*
It is not improbable that since the
election the abovo question has been
asked oflener in this State than any other
and it is also not improbable that the
answers to this same question have
been as contradictory to each other as
It was possible they coiild be. Each
party has claimed the majority of mem
bers steadliy in the face of proofs to the
contrary that were entirely satisfactory
to its opponents. We have tried to
arrive at a correct conclusion as to the
result, and we think we have done so,
but not without difficulty. There are
three independents that have given
trouble in arriving at a satisfactorily
correct conclusion. For some time it
has been known that these three inde
pendent chaps could decide the majori"
ty for either party by acting with that
party. We think we are correct in giv
ing the result as follows:
There are elected fifty-eight straight
democrats, exclusive of GOT. Graham
and one independent democrat who
will act with them, which gives us just
fifty-nine members whom we may ex
pect to be present at the organization.
There are elected fifty-eight straight
radicals and two independents who will
act with them which gives the radicals
sixty members whom we may expect to
be present at the organization. So it
will be seen the radicals have nsby one
vote. Had Gov, Graham lived it would
have been a tie—something perhaps
never heard of before;—in this State at
feast. However what party will con
trol the organization is by no means
certain. Sickness or other cause might
prevent the attendance of a few mem
bers, and thus change the comparative
strength of the two parties, at tho time
of organization.
There will doubtless he a close watch
ing by both sides. We shall see and
hear before any very considerable time
elapses. We shrll keep our readers post
ed.
■* IS OVER.
Our exchangee came to us, soon after
tho late election with explanations and
reasons for our defeat in those counties (
that we had so confidently hoped and ,
expected to carry.' We had hoped to
carry this couuty and failed for the ,
same reason that we failed in so many j
other counties. Tne democrats stayed
away from the polls or going,refused to (
vote. The issue ot Convention or no j
Convention was practically forced upon ]
us. The Convention was unpopular. ,
The fears of the people were appealed to> (
as is usual with the republican party.and (
it was successful in exciting them. This, ,
with a general apathy, defeated us ,
Many Voted for republican candidates ,
solely upon the pledge given, that If |
elected, an immediate ajournment ,
should follow. These men are not re* ,
publicans, nor will they hereafter act
with that party. Under the circum
stances they conceived themselves to be
voting "no Convention,'' simply. The
name of the republican candidate, and
"no Convention" were convertible
terms in their estimation In casting the
ballot. Under this impression and with
this understanding many good demo
crats voted the radical ticket—that is a
ticket with the name of a radical upon
it. We regret the result. In our humble
way, we did all we could to avert it.
We favored a call of a Convention by the
Legislature, because we thought the in
terest of the State would be served
thereby. We thought so then, and we
think so now. The republican party
with its perfect organisation and docile
followers, cast its whole strength to
thwart the call, and, added to these a
few democratic votes, and the great
number of democrats who foiled to vote
at all, and the work was accomplished.
Well, it is over and we eant help it:—
But wejean go to work for the great cam
paign ot 1876. We can then regain our
lost ground. A Vote for a radical then
will mean one for a radical, aud so will
democrats be governed.
The time of our campaign subscribers'
will expire with our next issue. We
hope they have been so well pleased as
to wish to continue their subscriptions.
We endeavored to do our duty in the
contest throngh which we have just
past, and can only regret our Inability
to dp more. We shall continue to bat
tle for the Democratic party, believing
as we do that we are thereby battling
for the best interest of all. We ask our
friends fo sustain us. We know with
some attention on the part of those who
were kind dnough to aid in the circular
tion of our campaign paper, that those
who subscribed for it, will continue
their subscriptions. It Is but Utile
trouble to you friends, to thus aid us.
Do so for our sake, and for the sake of
the party.

The Sheriff and Commissioners Of
Robeson county have been offered to
appear before Judge Settle, at Greens
boro, on a day certain, to show cause
why certificates of election should not
be issued to Norment and McNeil, the
radical candidates k for Convention in
that county. We can't see what a Judge
can have to do with it. If the election
of members to the Convention can bo
looked into by a Judge, then we sup
pose the election of member# to the leg
lature may, and so the well estaljjiebcd
principle that legislative bodies are the
the judges of the elections and qualifi
cations of their own fnembers is to be
lost sight off. We shall then have one
member enjoined from taking his seat,
and a mandamus commanding the prop
er authorities to issue a certificate of
election to his opponent, and the delays'
necesiary to litigation over every con
tested election. If the Judges of the
State m e to become judges of elections,
at all, where will the matter end? The
Judge may decide one mau elected, and
the body to wbieh he claims election
may decide otherwise? We can't see
what the Judge can possibly hove to do
with it. It is not an office in question.
It is a place purely political, and cannot
by possibility find a hearing, in the
Courts. The Convention iteelt when it
meets, is the only competent power to
hear and decide the
Since writing the article giving our
conclusions as to how the Convention
stands, we have received the Daily
News, containing a letter from the edi
tor of the Ashville Citizen, saying that
lir. Wilcox, one of the independents,
we counted to the radicals, would act
with the democrats, and farther that
Dr. Ransom, the other independent we
counted to the radicals was a Conven.
veution man, and opposed to the ad
journ and go home policy. If this infor
mation should prove correct the demo
crats will have a majority, and can thus,
if all attend control the organization of
the body, and shape iU course. Until
however, we know fully, we shall feel
inclined to consider our estimate as giv
en in the former article as correct. We
think the republicans, and those who
will act with them, have the majority,
and if all elected members are present
will control the organization. We hope
not, but we fear the facts are against
us.
GOT. AKiEiBIV'S "D-D BiKRBN
IDEALITY."
Governor Allen, by a correspondent 1
of the St. Louis Bepublican , is reported
as talking iu this wise: i
"I regard specie payments—in the '
sense in which that term might have
been employed twenty years ago—as a
physical impossibility now and for all
time to come. In my judgement the
buisiness of the world and the financial
needs of mankind have out grown the
capacity of the miues to produce pre
cious metals enough to serveas a basis
of currency. The business of the world
to-day is transacted, not by the trans
fer of coin, as iu the days of Venetian
and Spanish commercial supremacy,but
by the interchange of paper bills repre
senting credit; representing the confi
dence which is the outgrowth of the in
timate acquaintance between communi
ties and nations rendered possible by
modern methods of locomotion. In
some countries there is still coin in cir
culation, and paper money is exchang
eable at par for it. But nowhere do
specie payments exist except in England
by sufferance. Nowhere could the
shadow of specie pa) ments which does
exist be maintained for a moment H
the people who hold paper money were
to withdraw their confidence from the
banks which hold what there is of gold.
In a word, the pretense of specie pay
ments which exist in England, the
strongest coin country in the world,
would fall to-morrow butfor the credit
of the banks baaed upon the confidence
of the bill-holders. There-fore, you see,
the bads of busiuess in specie paying,
as well aa in non-specie paying coun
tries, is credit and nothing but credit,
after all. I cannot now go over the
whole subject. I can give you my view
of the matter in a few word*, I regard
the accomplishment of resumption in
this country as a physical impossibility.
And I regard the whole doctrine of
specie payments as an ideality without
practical foundation to rest on. I re
gard it as a damned barren ideality,
sir."

i A movement has been started at the
Federal Capital" having for its purpose
to petition Congress at its next session
to apropriate a sufficient sum to disinter
the remains of all the deceased Presi
dents of the United States, remove them
; in mausoleums for each one in a circle
; round the tomb ot Washington. The
' reason given for this movement is that
i some of the Presidents are now iu
> obscure, unadorned and neglected
• graves." We would suggest, as an
) amendment,that all dead Presidents,
3 since Buchanan's time, should have a
s separate burial place. G. W. might not

A BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT.
A RMannlic Slory of Two Continents—
-900,000 Wauled
Miss Anna Notioc, of N.
J., hasiostituted suit against Albert D.
BrowrtV of the sanio tow?, fpr brjach
of promise of marriage, placing* her
damage at $60,000. Brown is about
thirty-five years of age, and resides with
his mother in the old Fields's mansion,
in Princeton, and he is reputed to be
worth $500,000. He is a rather profli
gate young man, is a chemist, botanist,
and florist, and once held a post of hon
or in Princeton College. He once mar
ried, and his wife is alive, but he has
not lived with her for two years and a
half past. A suit for divorce between
them is pending. Miss Notice is a spriht
ly, prepossessing, handsome young lady
of twenty-three summers., well educa
ted, highly accomplished, ami is known
in Princeton as the "Pretty Gardner's
Daughter." Her father is dead; he
was a gardner. She is envied as much
on account of her beauty by the ladies
of Princeton as she is admired for the
same reason by the Princeton College
students and others. The narrative of
her courtship reads like a romance.
She has made an affidavit, covering
about twenty-five pages of legal cap pa
per. In it are sveral extracts from let
ters received by her from Mr. Brown,
of which the following are specimens;
"If I forsake or betray *you, so may
He forsake and abandon me when all
earthly hope is passed. It I draw back
one day and say I do not love you, may
He say to me, 'Depart, you have no
place with me; you forsook her who
dared all for you, aud now in your dis
tress will I forsake you.' Ido not ask
you to accept poverty with me, nor dis
grace cither. I can and will give you
wealth and position if you will only
wait. Ido not offer you dishonorable
love, but I proffer you as honorable a
love as it is possible for a human being
to do: that come good or ill, there is one
will never forsake you; that will
stand by your side, content to meet any
fate if you will onjy share it with him.
In deceiving you I should ruin all my
earthly hopes of a future life,for Ido not
believe there could be any forgiveness
for a deed so utterly base, and without
lan excuse."
Confiding in these promises she was
induced to go to Brazil to get married.
Both of them went there. After stop
ping a short time in Bio Janeiro, he
informed her that the Emperor had for
bidden the priests to marry any prose
lytes unless good evidence was given
that divorce had been legally obtained.
They thus departed for England, and
arrived in Liverpool in December, 1878.
He again renewed his promise, and
told her to go to New York and stop
at the Astor House, and he would soon
follow her. He did not allow her to
to take her wardrobe—he said he would
bring it.
The voyage was tempestuous, and
after much suffering she landed in New
York, put up at the Astor House, and
! stoped there oue week, He failing to
appear, she started for Princeton, when
she found that her father was dead.
The day she left Liverpool, Brown left
for St. Thomas, West Indies, and did
not return to Princeton till May,1874.
She has not seen Brown sinoe she left
Liverpool. Betore they went to Brazil
her father was in the employment of
Mrs. Brown as gardner. During her
absence he died, and her mother was
turned out by Mrs. Brown. Alice found
her mother in penury on her return
home. She suffered so much by the
voyage "from Liverpool that aha was
taken sick, and is now a confirmed in
valid, being unable to work. She al
ways possessed a vigorous constitution
before she left home. Brown has acted
very callously towards hsr since he came
from St. Thomas, neverinquiringabout
her or expressing solicitude for her
welfare. U
TAIDIBLB IV TWI.
The Fincastie Herald lias been
informed that a piece of Iron hong in
fruit trees will effectually prevent the
ravages of frost. The informant states
that the night before the freeze in
April last, that he hung several
pieces of old iron in ten of his peach
trees, and that the fruit was not killed
and that that those trees are now load
ed with peaohes, and he thinks there
will not be less than seventy live
bushels. The fruit of the remaining
trees (15 in number) in the orchard
were all kilted. A piece of horse shoe
was hung in a cheery tree In the same
orchard and it was loaded with fruit,
whilst on three adjaceut tree* the fruit
was entirely killed. He says the idea
originated with his mother, and that
he by her instructions, when a boy had
done the same thing frequently, with
similar results. '
Another Centennial article has been
fonnd. Says the Shelby Banner:
We wore shown last Thursday morn
ingbv Dr. Tracy the pocket knife of
, Gen. Furgenon, who was killed at the
battle of King's Moutain. The knite
' was taken out of his. grave 75 years
1 after he was buried. It is very rusty,
but has the appearance of having been
a fine two bladed knife.

ANDREW JOBNSON'I) EARLY
| LOVE AFFAIR.
[From the Greenville Intelligencer, edited by
r M Aqdrew Johqfon. jrj %
lb John Stage's " Life Of Andrew
Jphnscn," the reader is giren the belief
siat J£r. jwhnsop lov&l and was
pointed in his affections by their object.
Such is not the case, so lar as the con,
elusion is stated. He did fall in love
with' a young lady of good tamily and
estimable character. She responded in
the degree, and both anticipated
great felicity in a future life together.
The parents of the young lady, however
objected to the marriage upon the
grounds of Mr. Johnson's youth (he
was yet in his minor years) and lack of
means. Upon hearing this, Mr. Johu
son sought an interview with the young
lady, told her of the decision of her pa
rents, and of the course he had resolved
upon. With his native high principle,
he said there was nothing left to them
but to part and forgot what they had
boon to each other. The lady felt oth
erwise, and frankly told him that she
wouM go with him wherever he might
lead, and that she would not hesitate to
trust her life and its keeping into his
hands. The strong pride and hive of
fair dealing of Mr. Johnson could not
permit this, and notwithstanding his
love, he denied the proposition and left
the place, only returning long years
after, when the lady was married and
the the mother of a family. Thus, it
will bo understood that the lady did not
prove faithless and cause any wounded
feelings to the subject of this sketch.'
The iV. T. Saratogian gives the
following particulars of ex-Gov. Gra
ham's last illness:
EX-GOT. William A. Graham of North
Carolina, died at his roopo iu Congress
hall, a few minutes before 6 o'clock yes
terday morning, of an organic disease
of the heart. Gov. Graham ha I been in
Saratoga about three weeks. He was ac
compairied by his wife and son, A. W.
Graham. He had been suffering for
years from an enlargement of the heart,
and after his arrival he was subjected to
several attacks of his old enemy. Last
Saturday he placed himself under the
care of Dr. Wilson of Baltimore, and
took his bed. On Monday bis symtoms
growing more acute, Dr. J. Marion
Sims of New York, and Dr. Whiting
of this villiage, were called iu as con
sulting physicians. He continued to
grow worse, and Tuesday night paraly
sis supervened. He lingered in an un
conscious state until 5:40 o'clock Wed
nesday morning, when he expired. His
remains were embalmed yesterday by
fj. Holmes, undertaker, and this morn
ing the bereaved members of his family
will start for their home in Hillsboro
with the remains for iuterment.

Reverdy Johnson writes a long letter
to the Tribune on tlje currency in which
he comes to the following conclusions:
First. ThatthertMily currency known
to the CotasUtutiql|iß gold and silver, or,
paper convertahwinto it on demand, f
Second. That nothing but gold and
bilver can be madea legal tender.
Third. The Government now being
perfeotly safe, no danger threatening it
or being apprehended, Congress has no
power to authorize the issue of an irre
deemable currency and to make it a
legal tender.
Fourth. That the credit of the nation
the true, permanent prosperity of every
class of our citizens, and the arrest of
demoralization consequent upon the
present state of things, demand as
speedy a return as practicable to a specie
currency.

Kentucky has again come to the front
with and increased democratic majori
ty, electing McCreary Governor, and
every member of Congress we beleive.
This was expected of Kentucky, but to
increase her overwhelming democratic
majority was we suppose liai'dly looked
