' Next to Indiana and Ohio, the dust is the most popular topic . Cols Steele and Poik spoke to a large aod enthusinstic crowd a Monroe Tueedav. " ' ' Newspaper men and telegraph ope rators ought to 09 the best naturtd people in the world, especially at elec tion times. ... t xwenty-seven cotton wagons were visible around the cotton platform at one time, yesterday. It still comes in notwithstanding the low prices. Mr. R. P. Terry, formerly with the firm of Wade & Fegram, announces in a card elsewhere that he is now With W. L. Boyd, on Trade street where he will be glad to see his friends. Let all who are able and have any State pride attend our State Fair at Raleigh. It will no doubt- be the grandest exhibition of industrial articles ever before seen in the State. Anything? " Nothing -definite! and the anxious inquirer, after the election news, wpulp give us a scowl and walk away to button-noie tne next man whom be thought ought to be omnis cient. The bridge across the A., T. & 0. Railroad, At Mint street, which was re ported in a bad condition- several days ago, nas been repaired ana inspected by the Mayor, and pronounced m a good condition. . Another Tllden and Vance Club. The Democrats of Iron Station, Lin coin county, met last Saturday, the 7th inst., and organized a T. and V. Club, iplth fifty-five members. .That fine old gentleman, Capt. R. A. Brevard, was elected President. The club begins under the most favorable auspices, and with the prospects of being largely increased before the election. For Rock Bill. The special train for Boct Hill to day, leaves, the C.t C. fc A. Depot at 2 o'clock p. m., and will arrive at its des tination at 3:30, which will be about the time that Hampton arrives from Lancaster with bis escdrt of 400 mount ed men. Returning, the train will leave at 12 o'clock at bight, ; after the torch light procession, speaking, etc., is over. There will "prolable not be as large a crowd from this city as was at first anticipated, but it is thought that a number of persons from the country will go." ' : Attempt at Robbery Negro Stabbed. A gentleman just returned from Gaston, reports an attempt at rob bery near Garibaldi on the Air Line Road, all the particulars of which be was unable to learn. Three negro men followed a man who was ' known to be drinking, out of the village, and when he was unable to proceed farther by Teason of the whisky and laid down on the road side for rest, they took hold of him, and he began to rifle his pockets. Becoming aware of their object, he drew a. knife anp stabbed one of: the negroes, inflicting a serious wound. The other parties immediately fled. A Noble Charity. ; We received, " yesterday morning from a well known lady in this city, one who, though not specially blessed in this world's goods, never fails to make a liberal response to the demands of charity, the sum of $20, to be sent to the sufferers from yellow fever in Sa vannah and elsewhere. Such liberality will eertainly be rewarded, and should put to Bhame many in our midst who are far more able to give than she. The amount .has already -been sent as directed. A Decision of the Supreme Court. The following is the digest of the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of the State vs. Ellwood for mur der, committed in Cleave!and, but moved to; this county and tried about a year ago: (We are indebted to the Raleigh News for the digest.) A was indicted for murder, convicted and sen tenced to be hanged ; he appealed, and the judgment was affirmed. Subse quently, he was pardoned : Held that the court below had no power to amend the original judgment, by adding that the cost of the indictment be taxed against the defendant by the clerk ; and that the defendant be in custody until the costs were paid. ! r The Elections. These have, of course, been the all absorbing topies oh the streets from Tuesday night at sun down till late last night. Nothing could induce a man to talk about anything else, and if any individual who was supposed to know anything appeared, he was immediate. y collared and made to deliver. Our office and the telegraph office was beseiged "from earlp-Baer-till dewy eve." In consequence of the large number of private telegrams passing over the wires, the associated des patches arrived very slowly. So great was the desire to get positive and relia ble, that numbers of telegrams were sent to various parties in Indiana and Ohio, Washington, New York and even to Atlanta. John Morrissey, in New York, was called upon to tell what he knew about it, and other distinguished individuals in the North and elsewhere but most of them for some reason, failed to reply. None of the telegrams, however, failed to state that returns were coming in slowly. Nearly all the interest manifested was by Democrats. Occasionally a Republican would appear with an in terrogation mark on his countenance, but, as a general thing, they assumed an indifferent air. Numerous hats and cigars were bet on the result, but little or no money. Pardoned. About two weeks ago a petition was gotten up in this city and signed, it was said, by some of the leading citizens asking for the pardon of Susie Wil liams, who was convicted by the Su perior Court of this county of keeping a disorderly house and sentenced to leave the city by the 1st of October. The tender heart of the bachelor Gov ernor was touched by the cry of women in distress, he hesitated, but finally yielded; as we are informed by the Raleigh Naws, and on Monday issued an unconditional pardon. 2L3Per 22S White Wash, Paint and Varnish Brushes, .11 tt. :btt:rw CO. A Large lot of all Qua! i t i es of S pbn ge, fafl- and See to It. ThrPA othp.r white men went to registration books, yesterday, and ed to fiud tbeif names on them. Ex perience has proven that it is the duty of every voter to go and see that his name is duly registered. Three times as many negroes as whi es hcye visited the offices. The registrars give it as their firm conviction that unless tne Democrats attend to this matter better thaii they hive done heretofore, i num ber of them will not get, a vote.

Republican, in . which he advised the negreos to vote for Vanae for Governor, &c. ; This of course was unwelcom e ad virA tri thfi "fpflders. and vesterday a plan was concocted by which an attempt was made to injure his character and thereby destroy any effect which ms speech may have produced.. Of course fhin will h denied, but the facts go to prove it They are as follows : Scott came here about two weeks ago and remained several days. He then went to South Carolina and returned this week remaining one day or more in the city before lie made his speech, but was not molested. The day after hi speech a number of negroes among whom was John Sohenck, the chair man of the Republican Executive Com mittee of this county, sued but a war- rant against Scott, for obtaining money uuder false, preten es, alleging that several years ago he came here repre senting himself to be an - editor, and obtained money, as subscription for his naner and that, the -papers were not r r , ... sent. It was proven to tnesatisiaction of the Magistrates (Messrs Davidson and Severs) that he was an editor, and that the . paper; was received here, whereupon the defendant was dismis feed and his prosecutors made to pay the cost.' t .......i.., f '" The trick is as thn as it dirty, but will have thd desired effect; s'The news hiui Vieett fcitriedttf' Htfam'that the colored man who "spote to iixem and told them to vote Jor yaqce i was up in th courts and they'll never?' be told &aLh was cleared ' : b. !

A better selection could not have been made anywhere in the State. Mr Brown is polite, accommodating, .ener getic, and visitors may safely rely upon the kindest, and most courteous treat ment at his h&nds, at the hands of the efficient assistants he will no doubt appoint. .We acknowledge the receipt of a special invitation to attend the Fair, and we shall certainly avail ourselves of the opportunity and try to carry over a good delegation of the Charlotte peo ple to that hospitable town. Cne of a "Higher Order." Mr. J. L. Bailey fears that from the report given of the negro meeting in Court House, on Saturday, in which alusions were made to youthful Radi cals, young orators, etc. ,some one may think that he was among them, in fact he had already been asked it" he was among the number. He wishes it known that he did not attend the meeting, because it was a negro meet ing, and not a meeting of tho party, and he did not wisti to, put himself on a social t quality with negroes by going. He says that, although a Republican, he is one of a little higher order than some people. It will prove, we fear, a very difficult undertaking for Bailey to keep up on the " high order " and re main a Republican ; he will be so lone ly and cut off. The only way to get out of these troubles, "Johny," is to come out of the party. We are in formed that he has already declared his opposition to Bill Smith. Be Watchful. Remember that continual vigilance is the price of liberty, and unless we are always upon the guard those liber ties may slip from our grasp. Reports have just reached us that the negroes who are largely on the side of Repub licans are registering in this town in large numbers." Many of them are tramps and strangers who no doubt register illegally, and it is the duty of the friends of reform to be on the alert and expose all . the frauds that are sought to be perpetuated upon them. The Democrats of this county are peaceable and law abiding citizens and expect to obey the statutes of the coun try, and carry the county by legal means. It is then the bounden duty of every patriot however humble to report all suspicious characters to the proper authorities, in order that the Superior Court that dread of perju rers and thieves.may determine wheth er they be just or unjust, or whether they be bona fide residents or illegal tramps. Remember illegal .voters the fearful punishment the law proscribes or conspiracy add perjury. Hoyts German Cologne, Liibin Extracts, EGUSrT BB Eft KFAST TEA GO'S TEA BEST ON MftRKET. $1 II LB. W . R.
