" That jtortipn of our country known as "tne boutji . liaa been cursed for many years with a mania for old things. This conversation was pushed to such an unreasonable ex treme that it became actual fanati cism. New men, new customs and new ideas were plainly invited to keep their distance. The people were not aausned witnlne rule of a fow historie familiea, and the results of exis tingf time-honored institutions. : but disposed to regard any mnova Lions as Hostile encroaonmenta upon vested rights, and they treated them accordingly, xne wnole social and business life of the people compacted icseu about one institution.- and the political thought was so solidified by the slavery agitation, that for years, in many parts of this section, no local issue could force its way in and make a division of the people. It is therefore a fact of n6 slight im portance that yesterday in one of these States an election was held, which trought into direct and spicit ed antagonism upon a local question of some practical relation to their business interests and social habits, men that, all their lives ;past, had invariably voted alike. Tne Soufch. is a very big country, and North Caro lina is but a small port of ifci . It would not therefore be sale to, proph esy that a new order of things is to be ushered in; but the 6igns are au spicious. Important as the issue of this temperance agitation may be it is utterly insignificant in comparison with the fact that a living question asking for something practical solu tipn has come to the minds and hearts of the people. Fortunately for its educating influence no ques tion could be more comprehensive that the one concerning the liquor traffic It is a question of law, of trade, of morals, of health; it appeals to the intelligence, to the conscience and to the purses of the voters; its arguments point to crowded prisons and sorrowing homes, to heavy taxes and to ruined manhood; its lllustra tions are . drawn from every' grade ana condition oi life, and go witn a wonderonsly personal force to the homes of the people, whether these bf mansions or cabins; the Christian fel3 that he is his "brother' keep er, -the patriot sees that good order and stable prosperity depend upon industry and sobriety, the father ten aerly solicitous oi nis sons says "whatever else I may be, may God make them sober men." The reports from this campaign show that this new issue has thoroughly aroused' the loner dormant feelings of this people. The whole population has been thoroughly stirred up by the discussion of the temperance ques tion. The campaign has set them to tainting and talKing about some thing that they could differ upon without endangering their property and then lives. It has divided part 1 -a tes, races, Bociai cliques and even families. It has thoroughly broken up and mixed up in this one State the long standing and rigidly intact divisions of the people, and for a few days, at least, made the Judge and the field hand, the Bourbon and the carpetbagger touch shoulders and hearts often enough for each to know that the other has convictions and conscience as well as himself. "We believe that this issue or something similar thereto will enter other South ern States, and that great moral convictions or economic wants will so liquefy the political thought of the people, that there will be a freer in termingling of the elements of South ern sentiment than has been pos sible at any previous time within the last half century. This may not happen in a month or a year, but this dead, inert mass is bound to melt. A great section of the Ameri can Republic cannot be forever the mere graveyard of slavery These millions of American freemen must have found fifteen years time enough for lamenting its decease. The day must be near at hand in which all this people will begin to think of the future. It has come for some of them already. They are turning their faces from the graves of their dead and the battlefields of the lost cause, and looking to the needs of the living and the upbuild ing of what remains of their -once glorious heritage. Their agents are to-day in our ports endeavoring to turn Southward some of the streams of immigration. Southern munici palities have begun to invite North ern capital by the most liberal offers and tens of millions are going thith er for investment. Their Con gressmen shout as loudly as the most radical Westerners "for the old flag and an appropriation," and main tain a more decent silence on dead doctrines than Northern Democrats possibly-can. It joes look as if the old conservatism were breaking away, as if the history of the New South would begin Uus decade and a new life oome in to make this long unhappy section of our country the abode of freer thought and greater enterprise. It must be a great pleas ure to temperance men to know that their cause first brought to North Carolina "a new Southern issue;" that it was not made the tail of a Democratic or a Republican kite; and that whichever way the victory went the vote for Prohibition represented nearly all of the sound thought, right spirit, and real worth of the . State. The law was drafted by Democrats, and as they were green hands at the business, it is a poor specimen of temperance legislation. The feature that lost', it the greater part of the negro vote, is its discrimination in favor of the wealthy classes. The bill allows citizens to import liquors for their private use, a privilege that the poor ooold not avail them selves of; and the'liquor element had but little trouble- in : convincing the less intelligent negroes that they had just as good a right to get "gloriously drunk" as the rieh while man. These unfortunate inequalities in the measure, rather than the prin ciple of regulating the liquor traffic,' were, the points which the opponents moat effectively urged in their speeches. But even If this -bill fails, the agitation' wilr not have been in vain, by any means. A better ML can be drawn, which will not be re jected by the people, as this may- be merely oa account of objectionable features, , and the great good that must come to the people -of the State from a campaign entifetyfree from terrorism, a vote free ; from corrup tion, and a count that willjbe honest, can hardily be overestimate Negro orators snoke from Democratic plat forms and the Democratic .advocates of free liquor were welcomed, in the cabins of the blacks. The country may be sure that ence more one Southern .State has a free canvass, a ull vote, and a fair count That is glory -enough for one day. .1, men, and one, pj?; these tmen i was it.

Philadelphia Times. The connection of Judge Gillis with the abduction of William Mor gan, of Uatava, sx. l., the exposer of the secrets of masonry, rendered him notorious through life. He was tried at Canandaigua, N. Y.r in; eon nection with the affair and -charged ffith being one of the abductors Of Morgan. 4 He was accused of being one of the party who helped to con vey him from Batavia to Fort Niag ria, whither he was taken, no doubt, in a close carriage, and eiaf horses were furnished by the "breth ren along the route, tuns insuring rapid and secret transit At the trial he was defended by John C Spencer, a lawyar then of great reputation, of Canandaigna, afterwards Secre tary of War and the Treasury, who consequently became noted in the country. The trial resulted in the acquittal of Mr. Gillis and the affair led to the formation of the paity known in politics as the Anti Ma sonic Dartv. which held an important part in politics from 1827 to 1832. It held sucn power in Pennsylvania that in 1835 Joseph Bitner was elect ed Governor by it. The removal of the deposits from the United States Bank developed a new issue and Morgan and his platform dropped out of pontics. At the tune Mr. Gillis was, arrested he was residing upon a farm, which he was clearing up, it what was then Indian country, Pennsylvania, end which is uponthe old road 'known as the Milesburg and Smethport turnpike, six miles ortheast from Ridgeway. At the time of his arrest he was busily at work clearing the farm, which was known then, and is now, as the Montgomery farm. A Deputy Sheriff from Ontario county, New York, came there for him. He was a man who Gillis hated most intensely, but he kept hi over night, as the near est neighbor was sixteen miles disk ant The Sheriff had come there from the town of Indiana, the county seat, accompanied by a Deputy Sher iff of that county. The requisition of the Governor of the State had been duly recognized by Judge Young, who was then holding court at Indiana, and the proper warrant had been issued for the arrest The party started on horseback the next morning for Indiana, a distance of about one hundred miles, through the woods. The most part of the line was only a blazed line and a bridle path for their route.-. A heavy rain had caused the Clarion, the Red Bank and other streams to rise very high and the party was delayed three days over the proper time making the trip. Great anxiety was felt at Indiana, caused by the delay, and the opinion freely expressed that Gillis had made way with both of the officers. Late one afternoon, however, the community were re lieved by the arrival of the overdue party. Gillis was handed over to the Sheriff of the county, who was a Mason, and spent a pleasant night in the town with his brother Masons. The next morning he procurred a writ of habeas corpus to be issued by Judge Young. Upon the hearing r discharge was refused. He was con veyed to' Canandaigua by. way of Franklin And Brie, Pa., and Buffalo, N. Y. Upon the route ha lacked neither food, drink or lodging; the whole trip fie refused to associate: or have anything to do with the Deputy Sheriff who nominally - had him in custody would not let him ride in side the stage with him.' Gillis pledged his word to the Sheriff be fore leaving Indiana, through a third party, that he would accompany the deputy to Canandaigua peaceably and quietly, but if any harsh means were used he would not be respon sible for the consequences, and ironed he would! not be. A rescue could have been invited at any point- al most along the road. The Sheriff knew this well; ho also knew that his prisoner was a gentleman who would keephis ?wordrand he relied upon it ' When &ei arrived at Can andaigua he was released immedi ately upon bail ' and he returned to Pennsylvania. At the proper tune he went to Canandaigua, stood his trial and was acquitted. He had the full report of the trial printed in a Masonic! paper or magazine, called the Craftsman, published at thattime, which he kept carefully through life. His special friends had access to otherwise, as alleged,-At any: rate can leave nothing behind me which will throw any light upon ' the sub ject, and would not if I could. There are many L persons 'living now, de cendants of those who were impli cated in, the matter, and respect for them, if nothing more, is sufficient for me hot aid in stirring the subject, now almost forgotten" He was a truthful honorable . man. .

July 22. The kill ing or Bffly '"the Kid" has created a sensation m San Francisco. He was probably the most noted . des - perado on the Pacific coast, and the fact that he is at last out 'of the' way will be received with a sense 'of re lief all over the coast The real name of Billy the Kid was not known, but the name under which he . was known at the county jail of Grant couuty was William Antrim. ., In appearance Billy was one of the mildest persons imaginable. His soft blue eye' was so attractive that those who saw him for, the first time . looked upon him as a victim of circumstances. In spite of his i innocent appearance, however, Billy the Kid 'was- recently one of the most dangerous characters which this country has- produced. He had just turned 21 years, and it was known that in his short life he had murdered 19 people. It was his boast that he had killed One man for every year of his life. -He had not quite done that, but it is certain that he killed 19 men in the 21 years of ms worse than worthless life. Billy the Kid was a slim, blue eyed, quiet-mannerd youth, such as you will find waiting in the restau rants of San Faincdsco. : There was nothing in his appearance which would stamp him' as a deperado. ; He came into Silver City at a very early period of his j life, .and lived there with his step father until he reached the age of 15 years, when, on account of ill-treatment by Mr. Antrim, he left his home and, took a position as head waiter in the principal hotel of Silver City. His first step in his downward career was of- the-, sneak ing character. As a waiter he stole some butter from the hotel in which he was engaged, and sold it He was forgiven for this and a . few weeks - later - he stole Borne clothes from a Chinaman and sold them. He was arrested for. this : And convicted of thejcrime of petty larceny. While serving out his sentence in the jail at Silver City he managed to escape through a chimney leading to the top of the : building, and the' next morning the Sheriff was Astonished to find that Billys cell was empty. He said afterward, in speaking of the escape, "I could, hardly put my fist into the hole through which Billy got away." After escaping, the -bud wandered through the country to a ranch on the border of Arizona, where he was something was wrong coma runniner up the road just as Billy orjenedv tha window of .the jail to eacabe.LiThw. iiad seized a rifle and with the excla -, mataoh Halloo PIT-vtsjUBL through tbe neart He then jumped , through the . window And f escaped. All attempts to atch him -were lail- nres, and-fie disappeAred for a . time. His killing ta regarded by the citi zens of GaJSbrnm and Arizona as one of the most fortunate events which has occured for years.
