A ''conscientious journal" gravely states that tho tax of Buncombe is six rrillion, two hundred thousand dollars.

The Asheville Mission Hospital is sorely in need of funds, with-wbich to buv medicines and yarious" com forts for the 6ick admitted to - its wards. The kitchen-garden, a echool where poor girls are taught all the housewifely arts, and are so helped to hf lrt themselves in their struggles for a living, is like wise in need. A number of ladies and gentle men, interested in both of the6u worthy charities, having decided to seek aid for them from the Ashe ville public, citizens and strangers alike, will give a first-class comedy in Opera Hall, next Wednesday night, Sep. 12th. "A Lesson in Love," the play, selected, has not a dull line in it, and besides itiias been ,'prese-nted here berore. It is light and breezy in tone, the scene being laii near the seashore at what is supposed to be the iamous resort of "Winkleborough-on-Sands." The characters are a lot of clever pt ople who, through the erratic love-makings of a certain "Mr. Middlemark," with whom marriage is a vocation, are thrown into a round of situa tions, utterly absurd and at vari ance with their supposed real feel ings. Everything pertaining to the cos turning and scenery of the play is in competent hands; and no pains will be spared in securing the proper ef fect The price of admission has been fixed at the low rate of 50cts, with no extra charges for reserved seats.

Whit-, son, of Swannanoa township, re cently killed a bat, of the leather wing variety, which measured 14 nches from tip ;o tip. It is sup posed to be the pioneer of the b-t family which fir. ventured across the mountains in search of health and pleasure. Inno other country could a bat attain such size.

We hope the appeal for the Jack sonville sufferers will not pass un heeded here. They stand direfully in need of all the help that can be given. We are all one people apd one blood, and cannot avoid com plication in each others woes.

But we do not urge the appeal on this baser ground; we make it because it is an appeal irom humanity sorelv tried. Jacksonville, hemmed in by a sani tary cordon, its miserable inhabi tants cut off from escape and con demned to endure the horrors of their prison bouse, the business of the city totally suspended, presents a spectacle that might.mi.ke angels weep. - Let the appeal ba heeded with the alacrity becoming a Christian people and an American community. , The Demand.

At twelve o'clock yesterday the court house bell in this city an nounced the meeting ot the regular radical county convention of Bun combe, and the ''laithful" from such nooks and corners as happened to be represented. Tje-e was a big owd in attendance, but the Cm zen s prophecy of yesterday morn ing, to the eitect that no independ ents or negroes w ulu be allowed to take part !o tbo proceedings of the convention . was iully verified Tho audience was liberally sprinkled with the latter component of the radical party, btii. there ee:iced to bo a damper cast upon their usual order aad enthusisim. which was at first difficult to account for. Sev eral demcc its were a!so present, as on-Iooker3, and if there was an in dependent present he certainly wa3 not visible. - WHO TBEY WERiV.. Among the leading spirit of the occasion present were Sheriff W. J. Worley, W. W. Rollins, Richmond Pearson, W. G. Candle-, Lon. X. Wells, R. M, Deaver, C. T. C. Deake; V, S.

Da vidson, Col. T. B. Long, W. H. Rob inson, H. S. HarKins, Wm. Peebles, B. Ledbetter and others. The negro element occupied the seat3 on the right side of the aisle, and they, too, were largely represented. THE OPENING SCEiJE. A few m?nutesaflr twelve o'clock W. G. Candler, of Hominy, ascended the rostrum, and slated that owing to reports circulated by democrats throughout the count, to the effect that the convention would be a regulrr radical affair, he would ask tneconv.v on to c all Major W. H. Malone, of Asheville, io the chair, as permanent chairman, i ne Major accepted the honor conferred, in a few remark?, and took occasion to say that "tnis wa3 a day of business, and I shall mako you no speech. This meeting means much It means to throw the bosses over board; the people hive been elan- dered and degraded, and have been forced to wear tho dog-collars o the bourbons about their necks. Tnis meeting she ws that they have 1 sen up in their might, and will submit to these ind'gnities no long er. 1 am going to preside with rigidity, and 1 am goin? to have or der. lftheshenQ of Buncombe is in the housr, I want him to ap- po'nt enough deputUs Jto preserve order; (Shf-rff Worley replied saj !.!.

Some one said "we want a s cre tary," and editor For of the Ad vance-Herald, was chosen to act in that capacity. Chairman - Malone told him "to get his paper realy and report the proceedings, and Secretary. Fox arranged bis papers, accordingly. - ' - Col. Long, at this juncture arose, and moved that two dele, ates i.-om each tJwnMp be appointed to re commend candidates for county of ficers. The motion was declared carried and the Belf-apfcomted del egations got together and selected the following radicals to name the ticket for this campaign: THE COMMITTEE. .;; Asheville Chas.

' Tb:s committee then retired into one of the ju-y rooms to make up the slate, and as they clcsed the door be hind them cries "of "Pearson;" "Rich mond Pearson ;" "Come . upon the starM," resounded throughout the court-house. Mr. PearsoD, who was conversing with Mr. Charles A. Nichols and ex-district " attorney Xusk, in the rear part of the room, arose from his at and -elbowing his way through the crowd, walked upon the rostrum, when cheers and waving of hats among the colored white re publicans became immense. Finally, something like order, was restored by Chairman Malone, who wrapped vigorously upon the desk with a hie tory cane, and Mr. Pearson de livered himself of substantially the folowing: - ME. PEXRSOK'S SPEECH. .7ellow-cituen: I recognize the rigkt Which you have to call upon me in Ithis mass-meeting. We had a mas-meeting two years ago, and you called upon me then. I responded to jour appeal, and you responded to the appeal I made to you afterwards. Yu responded in a wav sever to be forgotten. I apprehend that most of yu who are here to day voted for ne two years ago, and I repeat you have a right to know how I am going to stand in this contest. I shall make you no speech, but I shall tell you now 1 am going to vote in isovem l)er. But let us for a moment loek iiito the history of this movement- Lat s look at the way we have been heated in .Buncombe from th court house ia this city to the capitol building at Raleigh. And right here, wish to say that Mr. Wells was loyal to me in that contest in the House, and I understand that both parties in Buncombe are going to vote for him again. I hope they will, without any opposition.''. Mr. Pearson then re cited at length the stockslaw affair from its iicipiency to the present day, and recounted the action of both Mr. Wells and himself, with regard to the same before the Judiciary committee of the Senate. It was about the same speech ha wade in the court niouie here two years ago, which every Democrat in Buncombe will rcpiWp. Mr, pcufson nxt re viewed the action of Mr. Wells re garding the election of justices of the liierior court for Buncombe. He said that he was surprised at Capt. Carter accepting the democratic nom ination for the Legislature, after hav ing received moriy, and lost the case of the stock-law men before a supe rior cour'j in Buncombe. He was troubled about how he should vote for Capt. Carter he was an able, influential man, would make one of the best representatives in the House, "but I shall vote 'against him." fCheers from nesroesl Ho. i.'..k- our money, defended our lights in a court of justice, and has now accepted a democratic nomina tion for office. We as independent democrats (so-called) are going to vote against the court house ring. Mr. Pearson read a letter from .Dr. J. S. T. Baird containing' what he (Pearson) called "advice." and said he would return thb same ad vice to the doctor. Mr. Pearson said Jhe negro wa3 ELIMINATED from this contest, and said that he had he proof, the law, the bill, which Mr. Cleveland signed for mixed schools in the State of New York. This proof, he said, was in his of fice. He was opposed to social equality as much as any man. The negro question, he said, could not be raised in this campa'gn. He tnen told the crowd about . the Trotter . appointment ; how Trotter reclined in an arm-chair, and had eight irle and three female negro clerks. Said the democrats had kept none of the promises they had made, and he was ashamed of the party and the part he took in it. Said that the appropriations by the administration last year amounted to $9o,G00,000 more r. than they ever had before. He next said that "Capt. Breeds' Swannanoa brigade could not scare tne country f ol .with " their - white and and red " bandannas." Next, he went for the national banking system, using many of Major Ma lone's pet theories to promulgate his yiews. The Major is. known to be the most successful financier in all this country. - The banks, he said, can by this present system use your monie3, without -the" payment of a penny's interest." But, as to how I am going to vot: I will tell you. I SHALL VOTE THE TICKET YOU ARE NOW ABOUT TO SE LECT, cheers. "You can't figure up between now and election day, the majority - the democrats will have to get to beat this ticket They will have to getj between six hun dred and one thousand votes at this box in Asheville, to beat this ticket in November. You will de feat them. There is no hope of pcsing the Blair bill, or repealing the internal revenue laws, and I cannot follow in Mr. Cleveland's line, and I shall not vote for him.-1 voted tid worked for him four, years ago, and made promisc3, in good faith, which I thought would be carried out, but they were; not, and I amashamed of the part I play ed." Mr. Peanon closed his speech by predicting the dowhfrll of the present county government system witl in the next fi ye years which meant that the negros of North C ro lina should control the white people of the State; and compared, what he called "the murmurings" of the people into the growlings, mutter ings and upheaval of the giant gey ser ia Yellowstone park. The col ored and white republicans cheered again, and Mr. Pearson stepped down and out. The twenty-eight radical ticket makers made thtir reappearance thn and -pave the following ticket to chairman Malone, wliie-h was ac knowledged with 0 biuv and a beam ing smile by that functionary, who turned; the paper over to swrvtary Fox i-y r.-sd.

A committee of five were appointed on resolutions, who submitted the following: UHE RESOLU IONS. "Whereas, Our lathers before the revolution, in resisting tho op pressions of the British government, proclaimed to the world the "an cient and indestructible .right of be ing governed by such las res pecting their internal polity and taxation as were derived from their own consent;" and, whereas, Ibis meeting of citizens, without regard to post political differences, have come together to declare their sen timents in regard to grievous viola tions of their rights, therefore, we do Resohe 1st, That the system of laws imposed upiin us, in the name of "county government" is subver sive of the inalienable rights of the people and not consistent with the intent and spirit of our free institu tions: tht the right to vote for those who rule us and impose the trxes upon our property is one, sacred to the people, and we in mass convention as sembled, do hereby protest and de nounce the same, and pledge our selves to co-operate in all honorable ways to have, either a repeal; or i modicaiion of this odious system of laws. Resoved 2nd, That under I his op pressive system of laws, certain of ficials have wantonly and r-eoklefly disregarded the rights of the people, by the imposition otlaws not sanc tioned by them, and taxes have been enforced without a just and proper consideration of the rghts of the people; that we . do especially condemn the action of-the county commissioners of Buncombe county for their despotic conduct-ia the im position of the no-fence law, with out giving the people of the various localities tho right to vote upon the same: and th;. flagrant wrong perpe trated in the refusal of the right of petition. Reso'ved 3rd, That we denounce the 1 tikis' attire, firlhe high bunded steps taken to impose any law or system of laws, subversive of the peoplt-'s righu. without consulting the wishes of the people, and giving them a chance to express their opin ion at the ballot-box. Resolved 4th, That we believe all election laws should . be liberally construed in favor of the rights of the people, and that the action of the county commissioners of Bun combe county, in refusing tho in duction into office of one our fellow citizens after being fairly elected (and so declared), was a most gross and wanton outrage upon the priv ilege of the 1 Mot-box, which we do hereby de louoce. Resolved 5th, That to redress these grievances, we do in this mass meeting declare a willingness to for get past party differences, and de clare a purpose to cooperate togeth er until our rights in the premises are fully recognized.
