He ap preciated fully tte ' county govern ment question when we explained it to him. He did not understand it. He was like some North Carolinians holding to jan abstract principle, while willing jto oppress and to de spoil fifty thousand white voters that this abstract principle might operate without conferring a positive benefit upon a single white or colored voter. We showed him how 'a change in the system would put at once the white tax-payers and property-owners under the control oi the negroes in twenty-five counties or more. We asked him how would he and his Republi can friends in Boston relish the policy that would place the wealth of the city at the disposal of the lowest and most - vicious element. : He said it was horrible to contemplate, and that already they had had a sharp taste of it in the Irish jeote,which he said was Democratic, and that men they did not want were thus foisted upon them. But the case is not parallel. The Irish of Boston do vote pretty solidly for Democrats, but. BostoV is not worse governed than cities under the control of Republicans. The Boston Republican's idea of the viciousness of the Irish was characteristic. They did not vote the right way . to please him and others', ancl henVe they were sneered at. "J .vjj -V'.'' r ;- - But the Bostonian was candid enough to admit that it was alto gether natural! and reasonable that Democratic p roperty-owners, who pay nine-tenths of the; taxes, should not favor a restoration of a system that only served to increase taxation and waste the people's 'money. There are white people in JJorth Carolina who know all this and who are still clamoring for the oppression and the outrage. .' . ' .',' The last issue of f the Danbury, Stokes county Reporter, has an edito rial on the proposed '(railroad "from Toledo, Ohio, to Wilmington, via existing routes, or those nearly com pleted, wiih a gap of only about eighty miles to jbe constructed. The proposed route would: be from -here via Fayetteville, Greensboro, Walnut Cove and Danbury, in this State Patrick Court House &nd New River Bridge, in Virginia; Hinton, Charles ton and Point' Pleasant, "in West Virginia, and' thence through Ohio, by way of Columbus, to Toledo, a distance of six hundred miles. ; The Reporter says: "Now, the whole of this supremely important' railway thoroughfare, with ; the exception of about eighty miles, is graded five sixths of it actually running, and all of it except the link between Walnut Cove and Patrick Court House, is chartered and in process of construc tion, so that with proper energy the connection ought to be completed within one year? at most.- Wilming ton would then j enter: upon a course .of', unrivalled prosperity, in which Fayetteville would participate in no small degree. i i . -VSomeodea of the gravity ' of the Egyptian crisiscan be formed from the extent ; and; ; magnitude of Eng land's preparations for war.

He. was subse- J quently bronght before the Mayor.; when, upon being; questioned, he made: signs to show that he; heard what was said,' but continued speechless. - He was finally sent out to the City Hospital,' when, to test the . matter of "his. ability, jorrinabilityj'to talk," Dr. Lane, the surgeon inf charge, .suddenly seized hold of him and spoke pretty harsh ly to him, when he broke and ran, and an immediate '' pursuit . by the officer who conducted him to the hospital failed to result in his - capture.! . Nothing1 ) more was heard of him until yesterday afternoon, when three colored men, f Peter Elliott, Harvey Chadwickand jGeorge Bremer, who farm on Capt. ; Nobles' land on the old Newton road, near this, city, came in with "Dummy" securely tied with a rope. . He was taken to the office of Justice Millia, where the men who had the unfortunate in charge stated that he .had been prowling about in the neighborhood in which they live for a week or so' stealing whatever he could lay his hands upon, and actually pull ing the green melons in the patches, this latter practice being carried on to some con siderable " extent on Capt.- F: ; 1L Wooten's place: He. . went to Harry Chad wick's place night before last, but was prevented from committing any depreda tions by the strict watch that was kept upon him, and Chad wick says that while there he surprised him into speaking once, but could never get him lo. repeat the experiment.; Yesterday he went : to Peter Ellioi's place, walked into the jhouse and helped himself tot a lot of. meat land bread he' found in a spider. An attempt was then made to capture him; and George Bremer, who happened to be at hand, finally succeeded in running him down, when he was; tied and brought to this city. : Upon the affida vits of the colored men named . "Dummy", was committed to jail to await an examina tion this morning at 9 o'clock. ) j j This mysterious specimen of humanity looks to be about forty years old, is very shabbily clothed, wears no shoes, and has the appearance of being an escaped lunatic.' Serious Accident. . A young man named Skipper, a resident of Town. Creekp Brunswick county met with quite a serious accident ' a few. idays since." It seems that Skipper and a com panion about his pwn age were cutting a bee tree in search of: honey." Skipper dis covered a knot further up the tree and pointed it out to his friend, with the re mark that he thought there was some ho ney in, there, whereupon the latter immedi ately raised his axe aloft to strike the knot,"' when Skipper at the same moment: raise4 himself up to examine it and received the blow upon the. top of his head, inflicting a very severe 1 wound. The axe - penetrated the skull, but did not touch the brain. At last, accounts,; although J the condition of the young man Was considered critical, his physician had hope of his ultimate recov ery.
