William Hor ah was standing on the pavement in conversation with several per sons, when Thomas Perdue came out of the alley and began talking at Horah. hn fin ally took the conversation up. After the exchange of epithets which will not do for our columns, Perdue threw one arm around Horah's neck,and with the other commenced stabbing him m the neck with a pocket knife. Horah's cries itinM r by to pull Perdue off but this was not un til he had drawn the knife several times across the neck and other parts of his adver sary's person, cutting deep gashes with each swore, immediately upon being released, Perdue fled., Horah was taken? to the room of Dr J R Jones, who bound up his wounds, which are serious and numerous, n ot to say dangerous.

We hear that a throuuh fast train will be put on the Richmond and Dan yillo Railroad, between Richmond and Vharlntle, on the 15th inbt. It will carry no local freight, and will make the trip in 22 hours. A similar train will be put on the Air Line, from Charlotte to Atlanta about the same time. Radical Rascals Brought to Grief. Yesterday afternoon four negroes Josephua Williams Manlius Peoples,' Amzi Morrison, and Leonidas Wither spoon, were brought to this city from Providence Township, and commit to jail upon an order from Justices Ried and Bryant, of said township. Two of them were committed for hav ing perjured themselves by voting in the late election when they were un der age, and the other two for intimidating voters at the same . time. This Josephus Williams was the cap tain of the negro company of which we spoke last week, which proposed to swim in blood to carrv th Pm; dencebox. We understand that other negroes, charged with similar offences, are 10 oe sent up to day from Provi dence. We are glad that there is a prospect of some of these scoundrels being punished for their frauds. Nobody doubts that many illegal votes were cast in this county, and for an exam ple to be made of a few of the persons casting them will have a salutary effect at future elections. Let the good work go on. Illness of Gov. Graham. , Dr. Jo. Graham, of this city, received a telegram; yesterday afternoon, from Saratoga, announcing that his father, Hon. W. A.

A certain materfamilias in this citv. hn has very tightly pin backed daughters, is particularly severe upon the style, denounc ing it as indecent and applying to it all manner of opprobious names. Her undy ing enmity to the pin backs is th neigh borhood's talk, and when one old lady goes over 10 visit another, the first question, af ter raising her spectacles on her forehead and taking out her knitting, is : "Have you heard Mrs. on the pin back ?" Well, the other Sunday the family started out to church, the mother quarreling all the wuue wiw me aaugnters about being pinned oacx so tight. , Just as thev we Knnfc leaving the house, one of the girls told the mother that her dress didnt hang right be hind, and proposed to fix it. She kneeled down behind her. and drawing the mother's dress gently but far back, pinned it securely ana mus tne lamiiy started to the sanctuary The lady maintained the conversation! & they walked along, by a dissertation upon me pin oacK aressing, and the styles of the present uay in general, while the girls walk- ea oenina, listening and laushin? Not the first intimation did the mhtW' have of the indignity to which she had been subjected, until she got to church, and then when she fried to sit down she couldn't do it until she turned sideways, and eased her self down, holding to the back of the and stretching her feet straight out. Far be it irom us to pry into private family wat ters. What occurred when the fmilv turned home, is not for us to say. It is re ported in the neighborhood, however, that the daughters heard two sermons that 6v and that the pin-back- mother preached one ot them. State and National Banks. In. our reference to National Banks in yesterday's' issue; we went a little too far in stating that "their credit is secured by U. S. Bonds, and creditors cannot lose either by deposit or by the failure of any of them to return their currency, and that not only are creditors secured bv TJ. S . Tranrw bonds, but the individual property 'of stockholders is liable for any debt the National Banks may contract.";' 1 We learn that onlv the circulation nfV. tionaTB&nks is secured by a deposit of government bonds, and as State Banks issue no circulation their status as re gards security to stockholders and de positors is identical with' that ol the Natioira Banks ;It was not our in tention in that notice to disfrriminaf against the Farmers'.

' The Contested Election Case. On yesterday at 12 o'clock, according to previous notice? the County Commissioners of this county met at the Court House to consider the question which had been rais ed between Col. Wm. Johnston and Rev. A. Ranson. Conserrativa 'r.n j Gen. Rafos Barringer and Dr. W. M. Kerr, the Radical candidates for Convention, in regard to the legality of some of the votes cast. Quite a large crowd of citizens of both parties assembled to hear the result, there being a good deal of feeling among the masses of the people on both sides. After the question was called up. Gov. Vance, rose and said in behalf of the contestants, that they withdrew all questions except as to the result of the 8teel Creek precinct. This was acquiesced in by the defendants, and it was agreed to leave the result of that box to the judges of the Same. Whereupon the returns were taken charge of by the fudges of that precinct, A. G.5 Neal and R. W. Mc Dowell, who reported that thev reietted the votes cast for Messrs. Barrineer and Kerr oa the ground that the words "no Conven tion uctet." amounted to a aevine irtin the purview of the statute. This reduced he majority of Messrs. Barringer and Kerr to about 235 votes, which number being un contested, these gentlemen were declared duly elected delegates to the Constitutional Convention from this county. Upon the announcement of the T-Jte, Gen. Barringer arose and lu behalf of himself and his'col league, congratulated theP 'Commissioner and the public ;upon the termination of a contest which had bidden fair, to delay them weeks and months. He further said that while he and those who acted with him, did not recognize the justness, or the legali ty of the action of the 8teel Creek judges, the believed the judges, and the Commis sioners had all endeavored to do their duty, in good faith. Situated as they were he le commended a close scrutiny as to the rights of voters, at the same time he thought great allowance should be made in judging of the rights and intentions of many of the voters. He further said, in behalf of himself, that while he should defend the riehts of ail he should make no war upon any class of the community. He hoped the day would soon come, when we could look at all public questions irrespective of race or color. Gen. Barringer further remarked, that he was gratified that those who differed with him and his friends, had made such concessions, in regard to this contest in a spirit of peace' and harmony, and he would say. that while he had no pledges to make, his conduct as a member of the Convention would be free from partisan and he honed that the resnlt of their, labors would redound to the pros perity of all classes of the community. lnese remarks were listened to with marked attention, and one or two exDrea- sions were warmly annlauded. and efrer. wards the crowd dispersed, apparently satis fied with the action of the Board, .after dis posing of this matter, the vote on the fenne law was taken up, when j; H. Wilson Esq., attorney of the Board, was requested to ex plain the difficulties in regard to the votes cast. The law required that the' votes ehouldall be "adoption" or "rejection." Instead of this many had voted "no stock law" or "for stock law" all of which votes he thought sltould be rejected by the judges of the several precincts, who alone had the right to pass upon the legality or illegality of the votes cast. He therefore suggested that the matter be referred back to the judges of the several precincts to re vise their reporfs accordingly, Nearly all of the afternoon was taken up with this matter, and the advice of Messrs. 8hito A Bailey was also had upon the subject. After long disenssion the farther consideration of the question was . postponed until next Thursday week, when the Board; will meet again. The magistrates elect In Charlotte Town. ship were then oaUed up to be sworn in When the election of S. H. Hilton was found to be contested, upon the ground that be is not a resident of the .township.. Judee Shipp appeared for Mr. Hilton.
