Although many of our readers are well acquainted with the gentlemen nominated by our late county conven tion, yet for the information of others we will give a brief sketch of each of ihem. Our candidate for the Senate is Abbam Haywood Merbitt, who was iborn in the north-eastern section of this county on the 18th day of July 1832: graduated with honor at the University of the State in 1856 ; was Appointed Clerk and Master of the Court of Equity of this county in 1862, which office he held until its abolition in 1868; was elected Senator from this county in 1878 by a majority of 776 votes ; was elected by the com aaissioners of this county School Ex aminer in 1879; is a trustee of the University; and is by occupation a farmer, and by-the-way is one of the best in the county. His name has been prominently suggested for the position of State Commissioner of Agriculture. Born on a farm, reared on a farm, and now a successful form er his interests are thoroughly identi fied with the farmers of the country. As our Senator in the last Legislature he faithfully represented the best in terests of his constituents, acquired quite an enviable reputation among the leading men of the State, and re flected honor on his county, and our people will be suitably expressing their proper appreciation of true merit by re electing him by an in creased majority. John Manning, one of the two can didates for the House of Representa tives, was born July 30th 1830 in the town of Edenton, N. C; graduated with honor at the University of North Carolina in 1850; removed to the county of Chatham in 1851, where he studied law under the late John H. Haughton esq., and after obtaining his license in 1853 began the practice of his profession ; was elected a del egate to the State Conventions of 1861 and 1875 ; was Adjutant of the 15th N. C. Regt. until his appoint ment as Confederate States Receiver of this District ; was elected to the United States Congress in 1870; is a trustee of the State University; and is now engaged in the practice of the law in this and the adjoining coun ties. His almost unanimous nomina tion on the first ballot is indicative of the high esteem in which he is held by the people of Chatham, who will honoi themselves in electing as one of their Representatives so able, learned, eloquent and pure a man. Oban A. Hanneb, the other of our candidates for the House of Repre sentatives, is thirty-eight years of age ; was first Lieutenant of Co. E. 26th Regiment N. C. Troops during the late war, in which position he acquit- ted himself with great gallantry ; was elected as a Representative from this county in 1872, and was re-elected in netmt i . i . . . xoioy an increased majority; is a justice of the Inferior Court of this county and has been since its establish ment in 1878 ; and is a successful farm er of unusual intelligence and popu lar manners. Our nominee for the office of Sheriff, Stephen W. Brewer, is a native of Chatham; is forty-three years old was Captain of Co. E. 26th Regiment N. C Troops during the . war, and was wounded and captured in the third day's fight at Gettysburg. In the first day's fight, after eleven men had been shot down while carrying the regimental flag, Capt Brewer seized it and brought it out safely. It is no wonder then that the old sol diers and neighbors of this brave man should seek to honor him. He has not been in public life, but as a pri vate citizen has faithfully discharged his duties to his fellow citizens. We doubt not that he will faithfully and efficiently perform the dutieB of the office to which the people of Chatham will elect him in November next. The re-nomination of L R. Exxjne without opposition to the office of Register of Deeds was a fitting com pliment to a faithful and capable offi cer. Although a Virginian by birth he has thoroughly identified himself for years past with the people of Chatham. Although wounded three times in the late war (losing his left arm at the battle of Sharpsburg in Sept. 1862) he remained in command of his company until the war closed, refusing to leave the men who had followed him. The people of Chat ham show their appreciation of such a man by the confidence they repose in him. Dr. O. B. Strowd, our candidate for Coroner, is a native of this county, and is a young physician of much promise in his profession, and will make an excellent officer. Rufus B. Clboo, although quite a young man, has proven his fitness for the office of Surveyor to which he was elected two years, and his re-nomination is a deserved compliment. Such are the men whom the dem ocratic party has nominated for the suffrages of the freemen of this coun ty, and in all candor we ask you men of Chatham are they not worthy of your votes ? We feel assured that a large majority of you will answer, yes ! The two chief qualifications for any officer are honesty and capacity, and who doubts the honesty or ca pacity of any one of our nominees ? Who does not believe that every one of them is both honest and fully com petent to perform the duties of his office ? Then vote for them and elect them all by an almost unanimous vote. The Record will do its utmost to se cure their election, believing as we do, that we will threby aid the cause of good government CIRCULATE TOUR PAPERS. No one will hardly deny the asser tion that more votes can be gained by the circulation of newspapers than by the speeches of candidates. Usually the speeches go in one ear of the voter and come out of the other, but if a good political paper is sent every week to a doubtful voter, he will read it and gradually become influenced by it. It costs much less to circulate these campaign papers than to pay the expenses of speakers, and so, if the influnece of the former is greater than that of the latter, why do not our executive committees encourage the former? The Republicans, on the other hand, rightly appreciate the value of a newspaper's influence, and therefore they are sending hundreds of copies of their organs gratuitously over the State. Hundreds of copies, of the Signal (a republican paper pub lished at Raleigh) are being sent every week to this county for free distribu tion among doubtful voters. Should not this stimulate the democrats of Chatham to be equally zealous for their party, and to circulate demo cratic papers ? We would suggest this to the serious and immediate consideration of our township com mittees. If anything is to be done, it should be promptly done, as there is no time to be lost. RANDOLPH NOMINATIONS. We congratulate the democrats of our sister county of Randolph upon their nominating Messrs. A. S. Homey and G. S. Bradshaw as their candi dates for the House of Representa tives in the next Legislature. The former of these gentlemen is one of the most progressive and enterprising farmers in the State, was for several years the President of the Randolph Agricultural Society (whose existence is chiefly due to his efforts), and was also Chairman of the board of county commissioners. He is decidedly' a useful citizen, whose influence is for good and whose intelligent energy is exerted for the welfare of his county. The other nominee G. S. Brad shaw is the editor of the Courier, and is a young man of good education, bright intellect, pleasant address, persevering energy, and is full of promise of a life of honor to himself and of usefulness to his county. The people of Randolph have done them selves credit in thus manifesting their appreciation of their young county man, and we doubtJnot that both of these excellent gentlemen will be elected by large majorities. The nomination of E. A. Moffitt esq., for the office of Sheriff will be heard with much pleasure by his many friends in this county, where he is so well known. We AtmM. nnf Via nr!ll make an excellent officer. 'THE BAYONET IS NOT A FIT INSTRU MENT FOB COLLECTnta THE VOTES OF FREE MEN. " "Hancock's Letter of Accept ance. A NOTEL CASE. In recently reading the last volume of our Supreme Court Reports we were amused at a most novel case therein reported. Indeed it is with out a precedent in this State, and we doubt if such a case has ever before been decided in the United States. It seems that the negro pastor of the first Colored Baptist church of Fay ette ville sued and obtained a judg ment against the trustees of the church for his pastoral services, and insisted upon the sheriff seizing the silver plates and goblets (used as the communion service) to pay the judg ment The Supieme Court, of course, decided that these articles cannot be levied upon and sold, so probably the preacher will now try to sell the church building. If all our white preachers, whose congregations fail to pay up their salaries, were to levy on and sell the communion services of their churches, we greatly fear there would be but few churches with a communion ser vice left BLEDSOE'S CLAIH. In the last Record we showed from the testimony of eredible wit nesses that Capt Moses A. Bledsoe (late Confederate Assistant Quarter master, and now republican candi date for Congress,) used his position as Chairman of the Board of Direc tors of the State Penitentiary for his personal profit, and that the meal ground at his mill and baked into bread for the convicts, guards and overseers of that institution was un fit for food, and, as one of the over seers testified, "the men absolutely could not eat it" The Raleigh Ob server has also called attention to another incident in the career of the ex-Confederate Quartermaster, which our voters should know. The Ob server recalls the claim against the State that Capt. Bledsoe so long tried to collect' It seems that Capt Bledsoe was a Director of the Luna tic Asylum during the war, and furnished certain supplies to that in stitution, for which he brought suit shortly after the war. We will not go into the details of the suit, but will copy from the Observer the fol lowing extract from the decision of the Supreme Court as delivered by Judge Reade, at January term, 1870, as follows: "Moses A. Bledsoe, plaintiff, against the State of North Carolina, defen dant In March. 1863. tha nlaintiff hn was a director in the Lunatic Aavlnm entered into a written contract with E. C. Fisher, who was Superinten dent to deliver 3.000 cords of nina wood at $20 per cord. The plaintiff now charges $5 per cord in coin, or its equivalent, with interest from the time oi its delivery. And he was al lowed by the jury, nnder instructions from his Honor, $7,50 per cord in the present currency. There are several objections to allowing this charge. (1.) The plaintiff was a director for the Asylum in 1863 and 1864, and in that sense was its cnardiAn. and the person with whom he contracted was superintendent, and it does not appear, nor is there BUT fillAfTftfinn that the board of directors was con sulted, which would have been pro per in so large a transaction. it ooes not appear that there was any necessity for the contract Indeed it for none of the wood was delivered until more than a year from the time of the contract and the cronter nnr- tion was never delivered at alL (3.) There is no evidence that the wood was worth $20 per cord at the time of the contract; and when evi dence was offered by the State on the trial before the jury of the price at which wood was selling, the plain tiff objected to the evidence, and it was ruled out And it appears from the plaintiffs own statement before the clerk that wood waa not worh anything like what he charges; for ne states tnat ne delivered the wood between April and August, 1863, and that "before some of it was delivered it was -selling higher than $20 per cord." Now, at that time, Confederate money was twenty for one of coin; if therefore, he had received Confeder ate money according to his contract, he would have realized but one dol lar in coin; and yet he charges five. And from his statement we infer that even in 1864, when he began to de liver the wood, it was not worth $20 per cord; because he says that be fore some of it was delivered it sold for more than $20." Now, if it was only worth $20 in 1864, when Con federate money was twenty for one, it would have been worth $5 per cord in March, 1863, when Confederate money was only fire for one. (4.) The wood was to be delivered, not in Raleigh, but in Johnston county. (5.) There was no time stipulated for the delivery. It was stated before, us at the bar by one of the plaintiff's connsel that he is now receiving in Raleigh, from a tract of land adjoin ing the plaintiff's in Johnston county, pine wood at $2.50 per cord. And we are satisfied from this and - other information that $2.50 per cord in Federal currency would be a full al lowance to the plaintiff for deliver ing the wood in Johnston, instead of xtaieign. Another item is for 198 barrels of corn in the fall of 1863, at $465 per ! barrel, in coin. There was evidence before the clerk that corn was hinh l at that time, and that individuals gave as much as $1 . per bushel in coin, and that the price in Confeder ate money was $65 per barrel. We know that during the war individuals in some sections had great dimcnlty in getting corn at any price. But the State had facilities for getting corn wmcn inaiviauais naa nou . in the eastern part of the State corn was abundant and cheap) and the State got large quantities and furnished the counties, and we do not doubt that the firuardians of the Asylum might have made an arrangement with the State upon much better terms than the plaintiff's. We are satisfied that $5 per barrel in Fed eral currency would be a full allow ance for the corn furnished in 1863, ank $6 per barrel for all the remain der of the corn." Now all this is the decision of our highest court of republican judges is a matter of public record, aud re ported in the 64th volume of N. C. Reports. !i: After this decision Capt Bledsoe presented his claim to ' the Legisla ture, and after it had been reduced and passed the Senate a protest was filed by certain Senators, which is found on page 300' of the Senate Journal of 1870-'71, and is as fol lows: ... v.. - ,, "The undersigned,- '(senators, enter their protest against a resolution passed by the Senate on the 26th inst, by a vote of yeas 24, nays 16, which declares that : "The Public Treasurer is hereby instructed and directed to pay to M. A. Bledsoe five thousand three hun dred and seventy-three dollars and forty-seven cents, with .interest on four thousand and four dollars and forty -nine cents from the first day of June, 1869, till paid.". We voted against the above reso lution because the General Assembly of 1869-70 passed a resolution in fa vor of M. A. Bledsoe for the same claim, as follows: "Resolved, By the House of Rep resentatives, the Senate concurring, That the Public Treasurer is hereby instructed and directed to pay to M A. Bledsoe thirty-three hundred dol lars out of any moneys not other wise appropriated: Provided that the within amount ($3,300) shall be re ceived in full payment of the original claim in favor of M. A. Bledsoe; also, the above mentioned sum shall be in full for all dues, demands, ac counts and damages to date, March twenty-fourth, one thousand eight hundred and seventy. Provided. further. That the aforesaid M. A. Bledsoe shall receipt to the Treasu rer in full for all claims he may hold against the State before the aforesaid amount shall be paid. testified the 26th day of March. A. D.,1870." The books in the' Auditor's office show that a warrant was issued to M. A. Bledsoe on -: the 21st day of a.pru, aoiv, in accordance wun ano by authority of theabbve resolution, which the Senate has authorized the Public Treasurer to pay to the said M. A. Bledsoe a considerable amount more than he originally agreed to re ceive. We therefore protest against the resolution passed by the Senate on the 26th inst, in favor of M. A. Bledsoe, for the reasons and consid erations above stated." So that it appears from this Pro teat that after Capt Bledsoe had been paid once by? one Legislature he claimed pay again from another Legislature. Of course, after this exposure, the claim' did not pass the House, and though Capt Bledsoe re peatedly and persistently attempted to get his claim paid again, it has not been paid and will not be unless the republicans should control the Legislature. Everybody to his own notion, but really we do not see how honest re publicans can vote for Capt. Bledsoe to be their Congressman when they have been informed of his past trans actions that are proven by the official documents, and are a part of our history. iom :.. a ... . A Youthful Indiscretion. Thomas H. Benton was one of the most distinguished men of America, and was for thirty years a Senator of the United States, and yet his great ness is tainted by an incident of his early life, which should be a warning to our boys of this7 generation. We have heard the late Gov. Swain speak of CoL Benton and his "youthful in discretion" which; the Wilmington Star explains as follows: "He was a boy,' was at the Univer sity of North Carolina, was charged with theft, was expelled from the Phil anthropic Society, abd when young left the State aad became one of the commanding intellects of his time. There was no ground for supposing bun innocent His school-mates and friends of the sstoe literary society would never have disgraced him with an expulsion if there had been rea sonable grounds for believing him in nocent He may have outgrown the weakness of making a mistake as to mine and thine, and we suppose this waa the last, if not the only, theft he ever perpetrated, as in a long politi cal career we do not think his per sonal honesty was ever involved. It was a sad crse of "youthful indiscre tion," to put it mild. CoL Benton was born about three miles from Hillsboro, Orangel county. He was one of the greatest men ever born in our State.'7 "The abxv should havb nothing to do with the selection or inauguration op Presidents." rHahcock's Letter to Sherman. fiarfiftld's Crime.

(From ttie New York Sun August Oat, 1880. J The chief issue in the approaching election is the condemnation or the approval of the electoral fraud of 1876. If the maioritv of the rjeoole wish to condemn that fraud, they will vote against the Republican candidate; if the majority wish to approve it, they will vote for him. Since the death of Zach Chandler there is no one alive who embodies, represents, and personifies this fraud more perfectly than James A. Gar field If the Republicans had sought out their candidates merely that they might take the people's verdict upon the subject, they could not have made a more perfect selection. As Mr. Hendricks has well expressed it, "Garfield 8 nomination means the-in-dorsement and approval in the most positive and offensive manner possi ble of the Presidential fraud." . Thus there can be no doubt re garding the question. AU citizens who believe in the wisdom and safety of putting a man into the Presidency who is nut elected, and in keeping out the man who is elected, can ex press their faith in the most conclu sive manner by voting for Garfield. On the other hanc, all who believe that the voice of the people should be respected, and that the candidate who receives a majority of suffrages should have the office, can vote against him. A Horrible Disaster. A telegram from Paris, dated Sept 3d gives the following particulars of an accident on the river Ebro in Spain. Logrone is a beautiful town built on the right bank of the Ebro, where the river is deep. A regiment of the line was crossing on a pontoon bridge, and the band was playing gaily when the bridge gave way, car rying into the river more tUan one hundred men and officers. The scene that followed was one of indescribable horror. The panic stricken soldiers on shore were unable to assist their drowning comrades, who were climb ing on to the debris of the bridge. TIL 1 ... . m " j. ue rettui-. was mac most OX tnem sunk, all being in marching attire and armed with Remington rifles and a supply of cartridges. The authori ties procured boats and had the rive: dragged with nets and hooks. The search was prolonged by the aid of torches until a late hour in the night. The bodies of 5 officers and 70 men have been recovered, and others have been found by the villagers lower down the river, where they were car ried by the steam. A pontoon bridge has been erected to enable passen gers to cross the river while the stone bridge was being repaired, and until it had been pronounced safe by the cugiueerB. ouveuiy-nine persons in all are known to have drowned. It is feared the full extent of the loss of life has not been yet ascertained. STATE Z7SY70. A Large Stable. Perhaps the largest stable ' ever built in the State and one which certainly ought to be big enough for any State is that on Wilmington street built by Messrs. Tucker and leased by Mr. W. E. V. Jackson. It took 200,000 feet of lumber to build and 140,000 shingles to cover it It contains 120 stalls, of which 25 are box stalls, 8 feet 2 inches by 9 feet The main stable is 162 by 62 feet It has a shed 162 by 41 feet, containing stalls and a mule shed 62 feet Ral eigh News. A Revolutionary Romance. A correspondent writes to the Statesville American concerning the battle of King's Mountain: MA sol dier on the American side noticed a good deal of execution done in a par ticular spot in his line and from a particular place on the other side. On close inspection he discovered that the firing on the British side was from behind a hollow ohestnut tree, and through a hole in it He aimed his gun repeatedly at this opening and stopped the firincr. After the battle was over he examined the place and discovered that he had killed one of his brothers and wounded anoth er, who hadioined the British forces and had concealed themselves behind the tree." Orange Presbytery Divided. A correspondent of the Raleurh News from Reidsville says: "Urange Presbytery voted last Fri day by a good maioritv for a division of the Presbytery. The line starting at me nortnern corner oi ttranville and Person counties will run South to Orange. West between Person and Orange to Caswell, South between Alamance and Orange to Chatham, then in the direction of line between Chatham and Oransre till it strikm the present Southern bonndarv of iHa Presbytery. All the territory east of this line belonging to Orange Pres bytery !will be set off into a new Pr am- bytery to be called East Orange. All Ml in . vtobu wiu remain as w range xrresoy tery.

Tffislative Nominations. 0 Orange county has nominated for fhA Senate. Calvin E. Parrish, and for the House Caleb B. Green and W. K. Parrish. A lamtnM htta nominated Dr. B. Mebane for the Senate, and James A. Turrentine for the House. A Family Fight. There was a regular family fight at Spanish Oak Hill in Coble Township last Friday. William Roberston one nf tha combatants was badly cut with a knife. Others were scratched and bruised to a considerable extent Alamance Gleaner. Attempted Suicide. A purely love affair has so wrought upon the feelings of a Winston dusky damsel tnat sne attempted suicide recently by taking a dose of lauda num. The timely intervention of a physician prevented the opiate from doing its fall work in extinguishing the vital spark of the colored maiden all forlorn. Winston Leader. Adequate Support. An old gentleman eighty years of age was put on trial at Newton this week for not providing an adequate support for his wife. . The prosecu tion maintained that an "adequate support" included fresh butter and a servant The case was carried up on an appeal from a magistrate's court. He was found not guilty. Hickory Carolinian. Big Snake Story. Messrs. S. H. Moore and Alek Haw kins of Jones, were in the office - last week and gave an account of a snake killing that would seem incredible to those unacqu iinted with snake habits. They state that W. M. Hawkins kill ed a few days before, a moccasin which had, inside of her, 36 live, young snakes some of them ten inches long. Kinston Journal. Accidentally Shot. A daughter of Mr. Ham Mayberry, who resides about fifteen miles north of this place, accidently shot herself with a pistol on the 20th ultimo. Her brother had been using the pistol, and afterwards placed it in a bureau drawer, when his sister about fifteen years of age, picked it up, and while handling the same one of the charges exploded, the ball entering just above the knee, inflicting a severe wound. Statesville American. Shooting Scrape. Jas Bunch colored, who lives in St. Matthews township, this county, was shot in the head yesterday eve ning by Mr. George Goodwin. Bunch says he was passing by Goodwin's Loose when he (Goodwin) stepped out of the door, and without any provocation whatever on the part of Bunch, fired, the ball striking him above the left eye, making a serious wound. The bail is stiU in his head. Raleigh Visitor. Troublesome Convicts. The Penitentiary convicts emolov- ed on the Quaker Bridge road are giving tne guard considerable trouble. They have recently made two at tempts to dig out of their prison at night, but each attempt was frustra ted through the vi&rilance of tha guards. A most diabolical plot was adopted by the convicts one day last wee to murder two of the guards, and effect their escape. Newberne Nut Shell Bee-Culture. A correspondent of the Raleigh News writing from McDowell county, says: "A gentleman from Vermont, a naturalist and bee-keeper, who trav els about with a hive of Egyptian bees in his carriage, and lectures oc casionally, is doing what he can to stimulate bee-culture. There is no doubt money in it, especially in the mountain regins where the flora is so rich and varied." Chathamite Captured. Deputy Collector, F. M. Sorrell captured a' wagon on market square, in this city, yesterday afternoon, con taining blockade whiskey. The man was named E. M. Johnson and was from Chatham county. He was taken before U. S. Commissioner this morn ing, charged with retailing whiskey without license, who bonnd him over to the next term of the United States District Court in a justified bond of $100 which he gave. Raleigh Visitor 8th inst Sight Restored. The Surry Visitor says that "Mrs. Nancy Jessup died last week in West field township in her 88th year. For twenty-seven years before her death she had been blind. One month ago she prayed that she mi&hi mmiva her sight and see her children; and, strange to say, two days before she expired her sight was restored and she was permitted to see all her chil dren and was astonished at their looks. Mrs. Jessup was a good wo man. "Vfclilv the nnTAni n righteous availeth much." Catching A Crane. John R. Ireland is entitled to wear the belt as a bird catcher. As he was coming in town last Saturday he saw a crane rnn out of a branch and into a fence corner. John iumoed ont of his buggy, and before the bird could get out of the corner to spread his wings, he caught him and brought him in town, entirely uninjured. He measures six feet from tin to tin. John intends to keep the bird until John Robinson comes along, and will tnen donate him u the circus man wants him. Alamance Gleaner. MisceUaneons , Adv'ts.
