HOW INDIANA WAS CAPTUBED ;: IN 1880. - j ' A Columbus, Ohio, correspondent of the New! York; Times has been ffivins an inside view of the manage ment of the Republican; campaign fund in Indiana in 1880 According to the most Teliable Republican pa per, Star Route Dorsey, who manipu lated the fund, had $400,000 supplied I him for the purpose of carrying the I election, and - all can understand by what sort of appliances. ':. Of this sum not over $55,000 was used. What became of it We give an extract that is instructive The ! correspon- dent writes: i . .. , j jj j .. , . j ' . " "The labor was finished before Senator Dorsey and staff arrived in the State, and that the result! would have been the same ' - - --I--. - -- - had he remained away is maintained trv those who were in a position to know. It is generally believed that there was sent to Mr. Dorsey not less than $350,000 to use in the State, and by others it is claimed that $400,000 was the amount sent, t Be this as it may, there is no record to show that over $55,000 was expended, and the remainder of the sum sent into: the State, whatever it may have been, it is charged, stuck in the pockets of those in whose hands it was placed tor distribution. i ( i Now is not this a most extraordi- nary coniession. i un, sname where is thy blush? Dorsey having been I indicted because hof robbing the I Government, is now a fit victim for I exposure, whence his conduct, in Indi ana, long known, is brought to light and the country is allowed to look in upon the way Indiana, was carried and how the money kings of the .North, who furnished the means with which to debauch the people of that State, were cheated by one of their agents But if money that was sent and stolen was not instrumental in carryinJI the State how was; it done? Indiana was lost to the jJemocrats: i now: nwas tnis accom plished ? The Columbus writer to ; the " Times teltsi of the success? ,What is the secret I According to the. article in the Times Mr. Blaine had a hand in the work. He thought Indiana' had at least 30,000 more l votes than were polled, and 'he ' set to "work to . have these voters or !a part : of them brought out. TJ. S. Marshal Dudley was relied on to do the work and it was don e. . The gjreat idea ; lodged itself in Mr. - Blaine's head about 1879. .Marshal Dudley had the State canvassed. It was found there were 470,000 voters. But a Democratic canvass was made and only.: 430,000 were found, f The Cincinnati En quirer, Democratic, is said to have lent itself to the I scheme. At any rate it. was pliant enough to em ploy a fool or rascal to do its work of cafevassing the State for the Dem ocrats,. and the answers to all of his circulars sent out through the State found their way into the room of the Republican committee. Then what followed?: Havingi got J the Dem ocrats committed o an increase of votes, then Dorsey and his pals ap peared , on : the' i scene. Chauncev riuey ana weorge liornam ; were those pals. The correspondent of the Times,. l Republican, i remember, then tells the story as follows:! . ..'.'Timber agents were brought from Ore gon and Washinffton JTerritorv. f rom Flnr, da,- Mississippi and Alabama : special agents of the Post-office Department from Texas,' Arkansas and New England were sent for, and even , the talented moonshiners in the mountain regions, of (Georgia and North Carolina were given f a holiday, while the Treasury" agents formed a picket line on ; Now all this was Republican work as told by Republicans, .is it not shameful? This too from the party that is prating eternally pf fair elec- tions' and an honest " count. " Was there ever before snch shamef ul hy pocrUy such ..1 unblushing ; impu dence? '' ' ; . in. ..

Thernan referred to8 asr K . i . ..ei l a Tilaen uemocrai, who suppusiuuuusu y took a book belonging s to the Indiana Democratic committee from their safe, was simply a sneak-thief who should have been put in the nearest convenient penitentiary as his reward ior ms pan in uio uuusouhuu, and every man, high or low, who handled the stolen property, became his accomplice in the theft, since no Republican could have imagined that such a book belonging to we opposition could have innocently come into his possession. In all lands bribery in elections is practiced to some extent. It has been from immemorial timepracticed on a stupendous scale in England. In this country, prior to the war, it was carried on largely in some sec- tions. We know:. that -u was aousea most shamefully in some counties in North CaroUna. i Men of low morals . . . . . . - and corrupt instincts relied tipbn, and engaged in, i such methods for success. But it remained for later limes and the peril of the Republi can party ji to. develop a scheme of fraud as bold as' extensive, as cor rupting as ingenious. . . . In 1876 Mr. Tilden was cheated by old Zach Chandler and his confede- ,--.- I! . j I -..,;- rates in crime by the rape of ' two States. In 1880 defeated by the Gen. Hancock was corruption of the i- r " -.: - i - ; it vote of one State. JL very man, pi ordinary candor knows and will ad mit that Tilden was' elected clearly Gen. Han(?ock. would row be.

Gen.! Garfield is in his grave and we will ask ; no questions- as to how much he knew of - the plan feeing worked out by Dorsey,; Gor ham and associates, r We hope he did not understand the matter. ' There is nothing more disgusting, more cor rupt, more amazing, - more false; there is no greater abuse ot power and confidence; there is nothing more wickeel, more dishonoring in the dark record, of American politics since the war than is contained in the history of the .corruptions in Indiana in 1880 as revealed by the New ork Times"; the greatest of Republican , papers The Gazette closes a long ndiscussion of this phase of politics by, saying: i "It is surely a sickening spectacle, but the most sickening feature of it is the dead ness of conscience which makes it . possible ior a party to still receive support, the , or gans of which make such cynically frank confessions of the villainy to; which: their party owes its nold on power, such, peo ple do not need to be taught the right,:, but to be inspired with the will to do it after they do know it. j Political argument is wasted upon them, and they should be turned oyer to the preachers to see if they can do aught to arouse their sluggish and deadened ;- consciences in protest ' against seeking power through criminal conspiracy, bribery and safe-burglary." . . . i !

It becomes our painful duly to chronicle the death of another of our old and promi nent citizens, in" the person '' of Judge Robert S. French, who has been lingering from a severe stroke of paralysis . since the 11th of January last. On Saturday last his condition changed for the worse, when the slender hopes that were indulged that he might partially recover from the dreadful malady were abandoned, and he continued gradually sinking until yesterday, at 2 P. M., when he passed into his eternal rest Judge Robert Strange French wac born in Frenchtown,pinwiddie county, Virginia, on January 8th, 1815, and was consequently a little over sixtyaeven years of age. He received his collegiate course at . William and Mary College, and when quite young removed to Mississippi, where he com menced the practice of law and became in time the intimate friend and associate of the celebrated S. S. Prentice. In the year 1846. he removed to this State and took up his residence in Robeson countyrwhere he lived until the termination of the late war, hold ing for a good portion of that time the po sition of Clerk and Master in Equity of Robeson county.. In I860 he received the ap pointment from Gov. Ellis of Judge of the Superior Court for North Carolina, which position he filled with, much satisfaction and credit until the edict of the military authority in 1865 reduced him once more to the ranks of private life. Shortly- after this event in his history Judge French re moved to this city, where he entered upon an active practice of his profession, asso ciating himself with that view with the late Hon.' Samuel J. Person, and after the death of the latter gentleman he con tinued the practice alone. Judge .- French was a first cousin of Judge Strange of : Fayetteville, - the father of the late CoL Robert Strange, of this city. He was an able and pains-taking lawyer, achieved an enviable reputation in the ranks of the learned profession, and was noted for the noble qualities of mind and heart that made him so popular and highly esteemed uiuuug ius large ciruie ui inenug ami ac quaintances in this and other States. His funeral services will take place from St. James' Episcopal Church, this (Tuesday) morning, at iu o ciock. Foreign Exports.

HeadievTs . "W ashihgton and His Generals', pays bu't littte respect to this8 truly great man, sdoubtless deeming? him of little worth or ability because his people seemed to know . so ! little about him. Fcr this reason; among ; otiiers, the papeia . on ! the . local history of our section of the State which are from time to time being put . forth by t members of our Historical Society, deserve , and should re ceive more attention from our people, and every encouragement should be given the Society in the labor of love in which they are engaged, which has for its object a perr feet and .accurate record of the.history ,of the State. The Society intends hereafter to publish the .lectures delivered before it in pamphlet form, :iieginning . with the one now under consideration , It is desired to make these publications worthy the notice and encouragement ot our people, and it is hoped they will be- aided. in their unselfish work at least to the extent of seeing a be coming hi terest aroused in the community with reference to their proceedings. The ladies and . youqg . people are . always cor dially welcome to the meetings of the So ciety on the first Monday in every month. Below we sketch briefly some of the im portant points of the lecture: Gen.-Robert Howe was born in the precinct of Claren don, now Brunswick j county, about the year 1725; the exact year not being defi nitely known He was a lineal descendant of Sir John Yeamans, the first permanent settler on the1 waters of the Cape Fear. He was one of the triumvirate composed of Quincy, Harnett and Howe who formed the scheme of the American Revolution at Hilton in March, 1773; was a member of the General Assembly at Newbern in tb same year ;had command of West Point, New York, before the traitor Arnold assumed the position,! for whom he was removed; -was a member ot the uourt-martiai tiiat tried Major Andre; commanded at the bat- tics of .Norfolk and savannah, - ana was present at the engagements at Foit Moultrie and Sullivan's Island; was a member of the Committee of Safety of Brunswick county, and of the Committee of Safety of the Dis trict of the Cape Fear in 1775. V The lec turer gives an interesting account of a duel between General Howe and Gov. Gadsdtm, of South Carolina. i The lecture is a very full one, and it would be impossible to do it justice in so short a synopsis as we are compelled c to t give of it, but those who -are Interested can. soon read the lecture in pamphlet form, when they will no doubt join the lecturer in the opinion that the subject of it did more than any other matt in North Carolina to precipitate the "revolution which culminated in the liberty of the colonies1 from the" dominion or the mother country. ' t The 'Meeting at Clinton In the Interest of the Clinton and Point Caswell Railroad . : A large and enthusiastic meeting of the friends of the Clinton and 'Point Caswel Railroad was held in Clinton on the 24 iust, Hon. A. A. McEoy was chosen chair man and E. T. Boykin secretary. The presiding Officer and Messrs. E. W. Kerr and O'Hanlon made spirited and able speeches, urging the necessity of an outlet from CKnton. and showing the ability of the people to build the road contemplated. Messrs. J. -L. Stewart,. J. D. Kerr and E. T. Boykin I also ' addressed the meeting briefly. ,. j A committee, consisting of O. . Patrick, W. M.'

We are in formed that subscriptions aggregating $10, 000 were secured:. It. is, certain that this will be largely, mcreased.il If the places along tne proposea route jw. t ao as -weir, especially ; if Wilmington, the point most to be lienefitted, will respond liberally on the 15th, the road, in the opinion1 of its friends, .is a certainty. .
