OARFIELD-THE DEMAGOGUE. No man who has asDired to the presidency of the United States ever had such a reeord as has been proven against the Eepublican candidate. To the back-salary steal, the bribery in the DeGolyer business, and the perjury in the Credit-Mobilier affair, must now be added the f act,that in order to strengthen his canvass, he appears before the great American people in the role of the dem agogue. No honest man can- read the speech he made at a reception and ser enade tendered him in New York, dur ing his recent visit to that city, where he appeals to colored men to stand by the Republican party, without coming to that conclusion. He first claimed Vthat the Republican party freed the ne gro. Let us analyze this claim : In the beginning of the late war Mr. Lincoln asserted that the war was not to be carried on for the extinction of slavery as it then existed in the South em States, and Mr. Lincoln's assertion was backed up by solemn enactments by the Congress of the United States sustaining the then president, and even as late as the Hampton Roads confer ence, (prior to Mr. Lincoln's proclama tion) Mr. Lincoln wrote to Mr. Alexan der II. Stephens, the vice-president of the Southern Confederacy, and chair man of the Southern commission, that if he (Lincoln) "could write one word (Union) he (Stephens) mignt arrange the terms of compromise to suit him self meaning that slavery might still be retained at the South. The negro was freed as a military necessity to weaken the South, and only because he was an element of strength in the South .las a slave, and it was not until it was .thought he could be used by the de . signing men that enacted the law, that the idea of making him a citizen occur red to them. Having made him a voter, adding twenty-five members of Con gres'to the Southern side ef the House, as well as in the electoral college, and these facts being tecognized by the Southern people, a continual clamor is now being made by Republican states men and Republican newspapers, about the power of the South, and about tak ing away the right of suffrage from the negro. Not one of them has ever been elected to any office by Northern constituen cies, except as a sort of a "tub to the whale," and in. the ordinary course of events perhaps never will be. Itfis only when he can be used that dema gogues like Garfield prate about the good qualities of the negro. If the col red man will only remember how many promises have been made to him by this same class of demagogues, and how many of those pledges have been made only to be broken, he will realize at once that his true friends are the white men of the South who vote the Democratic ticket, and who are yet to be called on to defend the right of the colored man to exercise the privileges of the franchise. We are proud to know that many of the colored men of the South, satisfied that their rights are secure under the amended constitution, as even recog nized by Hancock in his letter of ac ceptance, and tired of strife, turmoil and bitterness between the races, will henceforth vote the Democratic ticket, in spite of the appeals of demagogues like Garfield, who seek only their own advancement by appealing to the pre judices of the colored man. Chairman Cooper was there, as meek as a little lamb. KeoffU was there, and aumo as an oyster in August. Mott was there, and, proverbially modest, said nothing. Jim Boyd was there looking around. for a fashionable tailor. Tourcree was there on a fools er rand. They all unanimously and with mark ed enthusiasm agreed to take the leav- inors of the Indiana and Maine cam- paign. i Of course Buxton endorses Holden's war on the constitution and the people.

We have no palinodial apology to offer for ourselves or the people of the South. The liberal, generous and patriotic people of the North do not require it. To the fomenters of sectional strife we have just one single observation to make: Unless we horoscope the f niure of this countrv improperly, the time will come in its history, even in the life of the present generation, . when it will take all of our statesmanship, all of our martial resources, all the devotion and patriotism of our people, North and South, to uphold and maintain the grand old doctrine announced by the head of a Democratic administration, that of a protectorate over this western world in' the interest of free institutions and a progressive civilization. It therefore behooves you to deal justly with all sec tions of the country and build up, rath er than destroy, a feeling of fraternity between the people. Recent mevements of the almost for gotten "Army of Occupation" furnishes an engrossing topic this morning. It is a crusade of Americans, Jieaded by Mr. Ernest Dalrymple, who, announc ing himself as a Pennsylvania!! and a patriot, called upon his countrymen, last winter, to rally to his standard for the purpose of redeeming Mexico from the thraldom of the Latin race,and blessing it with Anglo-Saxon civiliza tion. To further this holy mission, he pointed his followers to the mines of Mexico and other tempting prizes , as rewards, and his preliminary orders.'is sued by his adjutant-general, bade them form companies in all parts of the Union, and wait for his word of command in the autpfon, tEngl-hem when and where to aMembie.jj & It appears that three hundred recruits for this Grand Army of Occupation, as it is officially styled, are now enrolled in the vicinity of Austin, and known as the First Regiment of Xexfcs Cajral- ry, Col.

How Mecklenburg: Boy Went Aktrajr. Fayetterille Examiner. The Republican candidate for Secre tary of State, Dr. R. M. Norment, of Robeson county, began his professional career as a practicing physician. He af terwards professed religion and joined tne Metnoaist Uhurcn, and on becom ing identified with that body, his ego tism icu mm w uie conclusion tnat ne was called to the ministry and must obey the call, which he did, and preach ed some very able and impressive ser mons. But during the reign of Kirk, Holden and all of the once prominent but now defunct despoilers of our land and country, he could not resist the op portunity to gratify his political aspira tions which the one held then afforded. Therefore, he left his sacred desk, and together with the "fighting parson," of Robeson county, entered the political arena as an independent candidate for the Legislature, and was elected. : iNext year he entered as a Republican candi date and was defeated. Having given up the practice of medicine and having "fallen from grace" in the Methodist Church and forfeited his privileges as a minister of the Gospel, he was totally wiinout means or acauiriner a support. Hence, having already descended from good to bad, he was capacitated for do ing worse, and accordingly opened a bar-room in the town of Lumberton and dealt out damnation to those whom he few years ago tried, with all the grace of a devout Christian, to re claim from the horrible pit, and from "the downward road that leads to Woe's wide empire." This profession he followed with indulgence in all of the attendant evils, until the next elec tion, when he again became a candi date for the Legislature and was again elected; being one of the members at the special session of the Legislature who voted for the sale of the Western North Carolina Railroad. This, gentlemen and fellow-citizens, is the distinguished individual who will seek your vote during the cam paign, and whom the Radical party has selected as a good and competent man to serve in the exalted office of Secreta ry of State. He is pittied against one of North Carolina's most devoted sons a true gentleman, an able man, and a faithful, consistent and zealous Demo crat; one whom we have tried, and whose past services suffice to commend him for the position in future Col.

Owner and Patentee. DESCRIPTION. The following is a description of the process of manufacturing Richardson's Patent Carbonized Stone Sewer Pine. Take one-fifth part or tne nest Engusn Portland Cement; mix with four fifths of good fresh hydraul ic cement; of this mixture take one part cement and two parts clean, sharp sand, free from loam; mix thoroughly, then moisten and pack in cast iron moulds: then carry the pipe to air-tight cham ber and remove the moulds, after which it is sub jected to the action of carbonic acid gas, which is produced by burning charcoal in a common coal stove. This gas is cooled by passing through a cooler Immersed in cold water. . The soft pipe absorbs this gas and becomes verv close and hard, after which it Is dipped in water or sprinkled. The Oxygen from the water hardens the pipe still more, so that it stands at last a perfect stone, hard as the natural rock. The pipe hardens the longer it is used, and in years becomes as hard as the original cement rock from wnich the cement was made. Cement is made by burning the cement rock, which expels the carbonic acid eas. Richardson's process restores this gas and thus reconverts the dissolved ele ments into the original rock. By this process stone and pipe can be manufac tured ready for use in a few days. Analysis . by State Chemist of Georgia. Atlanta, Ga., June 13, 1879. Geo.

" " 126 Alnmnia, " " 3.96 Water, Organic matter &c , " " 4.96 100.00 The specimen examined contained 4-91 per cent, of Carbonic acid gas, derived from your method of treating Uie pipe in the gas bath, while the same pipe not "Carbonized" shows less than 14 of one per ct. of carbonic add, absorbed (after 6 days,) from the atmosphere. A specimen of the old formula (concrete) pipe, that had lain several years under the ground had absorbed only 1.34 per cent. 01 tne caroonic acia gas. The "crushing strength" per cubic inch of the old pipe above mentioned, was found to be but 1.75 lbs., while the new "carbonized" pipe with- s tanas ids., pressure neiore crusning. and tne (salt-glazed) "Terra Cotta" stands a crusning pres sure 01 400 ids., wnen treated similarly an in one Inch cubes. Considering these facts, I feel no hesitancy In saying that the pipe now being made by Messrs. H. & B. under your patent, when made according to your formula, and subjected to the carbonic acid and water for 8 or 8 days, as pre scribed will resist such sewerage liquids and gases as come in contact with it Indeed I can say that It lstha best sewer pipe I have seen.
