- Senator Saulsbury, in a spe6n at

arraigned it fors efforts to cen

in the expenditure of public money,
and for laving? heavy internal taxes
which he stated the Republican party
contended was a prerogative of the
majority.'

Lawrence Sterne's "Tristram - Shan

that awful .curse, and he means to
pour it out on all Democratic editors

He is the only man who ever lived
in North Carolina who could repeat
the Shandyan curse with gusto and
without a blush. ;

The very best reading of this cam
paign thus far is -ex-State Treasurer
Jenkins's letter; in which he expresses
himself with very great. freedom as
to the Mongrel party the 'Liberal!!
fiasco. .' It will not do far Radical
neophytes to question .Mr, J enkins's
Radicalism. He is one' of the origi-
nal panel. He trained with Holden
and Kirk in "the campaign against
Dr; Roan and Judge Kerr and Frank
Wiley,- and Mrs Bow and; the twenty
or thirty other citizens "of 'Caswell
and Alamance, who were' unlawfully
seized in their persons and thrown j
into prison under the . special guardi
anship of the Kirk lambs and Ten

in his itadicaiism. 11 is : pame is
thorough. Hei goes the whole Radi
cal hog,' tall, bristles, snout, hoofs
and chittlings. There is no discount
ing him. He has served his party most
loyally in twelve or fifteen campaigns
and he proposes to-be.. loyal and true
in the present campaign. He be
lieves in placing "on , guard none but
the fire-tried and wool-dyed.: He has
influence among the best men in his
party, and " David's voice will - be
heard. If anything else was lacking
to finish the Liberal humbug in the

But what a savage . blow was that
when he declares that it is the view
"of a large majority of r the Repub
lican party of this. s State" that the
"hybrid" ticket as he calls it,shall not
be voted for by them. He tells; the
naked, unadorned truth when he says
that this "hybrid " ticket is, attempted
"to be forced upon the Republican
party by the Hevenue and worn-out
broken-down" Democrats." ; He re
fers in these complimentary terms to

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN WITNESS.
DrH C. LVyi Cook is an tndepen

U. S. House in the Seventh District.
He is ah Tridigo-blue Radical. He is
not a recent con verrtna .latter-day
saint, v He lias been fedrout of the
great Government ladle and; knows
mm, experience. . the excellence of .
Uncle Sam's: grub and gruel. -iThe

formation concerning him: :". j. '
"He, has been a still-house keeper for the
ast ten years. : He has followed the busi
ness of -'gouger' and he has a thorough
knowledge ol the internal revenue system..
Of. oourso then Dr. Cook knows
whereof he affirms,. and what does he
say in his address to the voters in his
District ? Hear him; t . !
"I am in favor of an immediate.' and un
conditional repeal of the Internai. Reve

believe will be the case, should there be a
Republican majority in the House, 1 will
never; so help me God, vote to appropriate
one dollar to pay raiding revenue officers,
who go through the country, taking and
ruthlessly destroying the property of - the
people." i
Surely, ilke Young and Mott and
other of 'the bung-smellers have suc
ceeded well in making their- system
obnoxious to the people. - In the
noses of the oppressed people a dead
dog would ' smell sweet compared
with the stench that comes up from
the carcass of the revenue system as
administered in Western North Caro

they have few friends.
INTERRUPTIONS ARE NOT PLEA.
. . SANT.
The.Statesville Landmark draws
attention . to the way Col. J? orney,
United States Commissioner,rebuked
Mr. Charles Price; on last Saturday j
as that recent convert to Radicalism
was .saying his little speech. The
Jktndmark B&ys: . . ,
"He said that the Democrats, instead of
repealing the internal revenue laws when
they had a majority in Congress, bad made
them more severe, having passed an act al
lowing revenue officers to arrest a man
anywhere, in his house or between his plow
handles,, without a warrant, k Col;1 Forney
told him that was not true. Price insisted
upon it, and Col. Forney, going to his office
and getting the revenue law, returned with
it and read section 9, as follows: 'Where
any marshal of the . United States, within
the district for which he shall be appointed.
shall find any person or persons in the act
of operating bxi illicit distillery; it shall be
"1 i . . . . .: t
lawiui ior sucn marsnai or aepuiy mar-;
shal to arrest such person or persons, and'
tase nim or tnem rorthwith - before some
judicial officer named in section 1014 of the
Revised Statutes.' " .
This knocked the ; spangles clean
off Charley, and he querulously ;said.
"he didn't like to be interrupted." Of
course not. Who does like that ope-:
ration when it leads to exposure?
Mr Price is a very sensible canvasser
indeed. ; He does not thank any man
to be picking flaws in his fine coat or,
plucking his fine feathers. But was
Mr. Price correct in ; any part of his
speech? I : Are the Democrats respon
sible at allj for not repealing' tho rev
enue laws or passing the objectiona
ble clause, referred " to by v Price?
The Raleigh News- Observer, in its
comment on Price's statement, says
"And we hazard but little in aying that
if the votes were recorded they will show
that the law Was passed by Republican

New Hotel at Smith vllle. 'i ... ' ! j
Dropping1 in at the Purcell House yester
j-day we saw the design 'for a hew ;hotel at
Smithville, drawn by Mr. J . BL Vaughan,
and which is proposed to- be- constructed
for and leased for a number ; of years by
Mr. B. L. Perry. It is to' be a three-story
building, with a front of 125 feet and two
Wings running out each 150 feet, and a ball
room in the centre 90 by 120 feet. There
will be one hundred rooms in the building,;
affording accommodations for several hun-;
dred people.'-1 s There will r be -verandas
around the btildihg, " and also' in' the bait
room, so that spectatOri canj overlook the
room and view the dancing without getting
in the way , of the dancers. -The building'
will be supplied with water and gas, eleva
tors, and. m fact, all of the modern im-
provements and conveniences. , (
It is proposed in this, connection, to or
ganize a joint stock company with a capi
tal of about $40,000, and. as before stated.
Mr. Perry has made arrangements to con-;
struct and lease the . building, work - upon;
which will commence about the - first of
November, and it is hoped to 1 complete it
and have it open for the, reception of visi
tors on or about the first of May. . . -.: ;
Judging from the plan the new hotel will
be a very handsome and stylish building,
and its erection will show that we are awak
ing to the importaqce of Smithville or its
vicinity as a first-class watering place or
summer resort. - Another season and the
accommodations will be ample in every " re

of the collapse of Abdellal Pasha's resist
ance ; has . been received: Abdellal sum-;
moned his black regiment and said he ex
pected them to fight till the last. f He de
clared that Arabi had turned traitor and
fled, but that Kafr-el-Dwar was making a
heroic resistance. ., The soldiers asked why;
they should risk their lives for Arabi and;
Abdellal. The latter replied that they were
not fighting for him, but for their religion, ?
their country and the Caliph. They should
be ready, he said, to die as he was. The
soldiers ; replied: 'Then die!" and shot
him through the stomach." 1
v Cairo, September 20. A large deputa
tion of Ulemas waited on ' Gen., Wolseley
yesterday and assured him that no attempt
would be made to excite the religious feel
ings of the people against the British, i

with Gen. Wolseley, but the latter declines
to ; receive him. Arabi's house has . been

London, ' Sept. 20. The Times ' this
- morning says that it understands that Sir:
Jixlward Malet, J3nusn;l consul general- at
Alexandria, has been directed to inform
the Khedive that no capital sentence passed
on Egyptian leaders must be carried out,
without the consent of Great Britain. -vs ?1
The Times, in its leading article, says:
There, can -be no possible question that
whatever may be the ultimate solution of ;
the political problem, the Khedive must for '
a - cohsidgrable time lean 'upon. the force i
which has destroyed the rebellion. Large
numbers of our . troops will no doubt re
turn home, but there must remain sufficient
to overcome disaffection. We may go far
ther, and say;: that -an i organization of a
permanent force . for the maintenance of
order must 5 proceed under English direc
tion. , , , . -
f Cairo, September 20,- P. M. The review
of the British troops on the-arrival of the
Khedive will be an imposing spectacle. It
is expected that about 10,000 men will be
in. line. The . Swiss,; Ninety t who is a pri
soner, denies , that ne aided Arabi in con
structing defences. He maintains that he
confined himself to the ambulance depart

under the Geneva Cross.'

San Francisco, September 18. A "short
time before the war sloop Comus sailed
for Victoria with the Marquis of Lome,
Princess Louise and , suite, the captain of
the vessel received an anonymous note con
taining a statement that the sloop would be
blown up by a torpedo as soon as the vice

was much frightened and appealed at once
to Captain Hooper, of the Revenue Cutter
Richard Rush. The latter, accompanied by
a squad of marines, made a most thorough
inspection of the Comus, but found noth
