r Uliitton, JN. U.j Jan. 8. A strange
reunion nas lust taken place here.
In 1861 the venerable Rev. H. S. Spi
vy, parted from his only son, John
G. Spivy, at Goldsboro. : The latter
then a youth, left behind him his
loved ones to link his fate to that of
the South. He served with the armv
of the Southwest, and was present at
the seige of Vicksburg, the battle of
Corinth and many other engage
ments; Detailed to some special du
ty in Arkansas, he was captured at
Dardanell, in that State,' in 1863, and
carried a prisoner to Johnson's Island
where he remained until the follow
ing February. . He was then sent to
Shreveport, La. Here he was placed
in command of his regiment which
post he served until the close of the
war. .
After the surrender he went with
some of his comrades to try his for
tunes in the North west.- After living
a short while in several States he set
tled at Salina, Kansas, where he has
lived for ' sixteen - years, practicing
law with great success. His father
neard or his capture and imprison
ment and thought he died in captivi
ty. In 1872 Col. Spivy wrote to his
father ,- The letter was misplaced.
and came to light only a few months
ago, while Mrs. Spivy ; was looking
through an old - bandbox. The dis
covery that the letter had never gone
on Its mission to North Carolina sugs
ges tea that the old man might still
be alive. The old letter was sent
"through the mail just as it was found
on its original errand. ; It found tbe
father still lingering in life, and from
it resulted a visit of the son, accoms
panied by his daughter Miss Nettie,
to the old father, who so long had
mourned him as dead.

dential campaign the 'k Democratic
stump speakers started out to talk to
the people about the tarur. An order
was sent out irom headquarters to
drop the tariff question and let the
battle cry oe "Turn the rascais out."
The Senator says he went down into
his own State and miormed nis peos
pie that if they would come up and
vote for Grover Cleveland and non-
est . Government the rascals .would
be turned out and honest Democrats
appointed to fill their places. The
people came out and voted as they
were instructed, duu now. wnen iney
come forward and ask why the ras
cals have not been turned out, they
are inf ormed that a mistake has been
made, as it is now discovered that
there are no rascals in. office, and the
campaign cry was simply gotten up
to deceiva the people. "In the weak
and sicklv platform," says the: Sen-
fttor. "we ,were promised that the
tariff would be reformed. . There will
be no reform of the tariff during this
Congress," he added very emphatic
cally. "Then we were told that the

that nromisft has been broken.". He
said he did not wish to comeout too
