article, and all the more as we see it
in other papers without note or com

the prevalence of terrible stories
Statesville and elsewhere West, espe
cially, concerning the health of Salis
bury. The American's article is 'mod
erate in comparison to somq of these
stories. We met a man a day or two
ago evidently wrought-up an up
country man who said to us, " Mis
ter, its right smart sickly 'bout here,
aint it?" " Well, yes," we answered,
this is the chill season of tie year
and we have more of that kind of
sickness this year than we have had
for twelve or fifteen years. But it is
not very dangerous yields readily to
ordinary remedies," &c. " I heard,"
said he, " that there was a powerful
o.gnt, wi. pcuuie uyin- nere. a man
told me that there was five dead peo
ple lyin in one house back here, and
a signt .ot sicknessall around." " It
is not true as to the five dead people,"
we answered, "and may not be as to
the sickness of the neighborhood."
We learn that it is reported in the
counties North-west of here, that we
were burying ten corpses a day. If
this story increases as it travels out
according to custom, the number will
soon reach one or two hundred ! afld
finally frazzel itself out to libthing. I
There is veryjittle dangerous sick
ness in Salisbury, of any kind. We
do not know of a single case of typhoid
fever, or any other mdlignant disease
either known or supposed to be con
tagious. We have mild cases of bit
u u imerumieuii levers, iust as
they are prevailing all over the coun
try at this season of the year. There
is more of sjich sickness this year than
usual more here as well as in all the
surrounding coantry as far as we have
heard. 1 hw, and nothing more, all
wild stories to the contrary, notwith
standing. We challenge any comma
nity of equal size-in the State to an ex
hibition of bills of mortality. If there
be more sickness here than elsewhere
in the country, it is owing to some
lo-
cat cause, and these questions are
now
engaging attention of citizens. There
will be an adjourned meeting at Town
Hall, Friday nigt, to hear a report
upon them.

TnE EXTENT OF NEGRO INTOLER-
5 A Ji C.
Messrs Editors : Here is aninatance of the
extent to whichij negroes earrj their prejudice
and political intolerance :
About the 5th of September a negro man died
in this neighborhood, and the man on wh.
land he lived, got the coffin, thinking that the
colored people would attend to the burial ; but,
to the surprise of the neighborhood, the corpse
lay in me House from Thursday evening till
Saturday morning, and not a neero came nr
except the grave diggers. The weather was
very warm and the corpse had become so nutrid
and offensive that it had to be wraiml nn !k
the filthy soiled clothes that were on it when
death took places and thus laid in th mffln
The causa of this treatment was because the de
ceased was a Conservative, having cast his vote
ine f nIt PopI. This shows the extent
of negro Intolerance, and how bitter and clone!
leagued they are against Conservative. TKi",
wijl vote ! for Grant and reject Greeley. Let

VVben in May Uet I accepted the nomi

Executive Committees, that
frauds were perpetrated at the election, and
wiai great numoers ot illegal votes were
east asrainst me as the, ...j.-j....
associated wth me on the Democratic
Conservative ticket for State officers, I
sincercely brieve that we each received
rJ"j " ioc rotes cast; but whether
those who Demetrated iht
ly d dii so irtfully as to avoid complete
legal detection, remains to be seen.
1 1 wobW think of the grave atep of

if the people -demand.tt, it will be my!

If on the other band, in the oniuon of

So that if it tnrnn ont nnon the examina-

I will contest the election and vindicate

THE ROBBERY OF THE SOUTH.
Hon. S. S. Cox mnrle a brilliant cam
paign speech in New York Tuesday nigth,
in which he spoke as follows about the
robbery of the South by Grant's carpet
baggers :
Talk to those Southern men of Arkan
sas and South Carolina on the tariff and
on matters of Federal taxation, and the
fiscal policy of the Government, you
might as well talk to the winds. Do you
talk ton man of the components of calo
ric when his house is on fire? He will not
reason with y ou then. I wat, on the Kc
Klux Committee. I offered a resolution
with iegard to the State debts and the
other sources Of Southern impoverishment
and discouteut. The majority voted it
down, but we finally got to the canse of
all the trouble, and it was just bad gov
ernment, not the enormous taxation alone,
the maladministration of justice alone,
but all the various causes combined. We
found that over two honored and fiftv
millions dollars of debts had been piled
on the States of the South, and nothing
to show for it not a poor house, not a
Courthouse, net a hospital, not a Peniten
tiary, although they were much needed
there. (Laughter. And there they stand
in all the Sonthern States, asking that we
give them relief from this bccurscmcnt nnd
bedevilment, and say, tbe man who will
put down this oppression and testore
peace is Horace Greeley. Applause.
And if Greeley is not elected, by his
candidature we have smothered down the
asperities between the sections ; we bring
up a better state of feeling, more in accord
with the spirit wLich ebould animate the
people.

gers far away from home and friends, and
all who cared for me, thus to discover the
grave of a blood relation. True a distant
one, but still a relation. The unerring in

The fountain of my- filial affection was
stirred to its profoundeet depths, and 1
gave way to tumultuous emotion. I lean

deem it no shame to have wept over the

A Truthful Alleoort A traveler
was pereued by a Unicorn. In hie affright
he fell, aud as a fallen man. ranght at what
ever was in his way ; he caught the branch
es of a tree. II looked before hitn and saw
a fearful preciprice. He looked back and saw
the unicorn ready to destroy him. He Inde
ed acaiubefore and saw a dragon with jaws
ready to receive him. He looked to the root
of the tree and naw two rats, one white aud
tlie other black, gnawing alternately at them
He looked among nhe branches of the tree
aud ?aw it filled with poionioua sep. "ready
to stiog ; but from ihir lips droped honey.
Regardless of Hurronndiog danger heeanght
the honey, ate it and perished. O man ! see
hee thyself ! the tree is life the onlcorn death;
the precipice eternity ; the dragon thy des
troyer :the- rat day and night numbering the
hours of thy stay on earth ; the asps, thy own
bad pasaious : the houey, pleasure, of which
thou partaketh to thy eternal ruin.
