No, Mi Obstrer, it you please, the Ledger did not give that advice.

Chapel Hill has had an excite ment. As the annual election for Town Commissioners approachexl it was evident that it would turn upon the question whether or not hogs should be again allowed a roving license through the town, or whether peopo within the : corporate limits should be compelled to keep such siock penned up. Last vear the Commission,; aier so.ne struggle, procured the law that hogs should be Bhut up, and the streets kept clear and clean. This was certainly an advance in the right direction. But a1 large part of our population murmured in secret, and, asserted that it was a law aimed at the poor man, and calculated to make him still poorer. As May approached this feeling became more outspoken and was fostered by parties whose liKfl may be found in eveiy coram u nity, whp, amply able to provide for their own tock, yet arc pleased to find fault, and encourage complaint, and advise change, and Who show public spirit only in sowing , the seeds of public dissension. - A ticket was formed for the Com mission composed of citizens avow edly in favor of freedom for the hog. In cauvassing the town it was seen that the majority would be four or live to one in favor of this ticket. The colored people were to a man, of course, 'on that side, and their leaders active. Nothing pleases yoiir'average negro more in a pic turesque view than a good fat hog or two lying in the sun on the side walk, or taking a comfortable wal low in a coveuient mud-hole. - No organized attempt .was made to run another ticket, though several were gotten up and published, some in the Ledger, andv some on the street elms. The Ledgek itself ed itorially and officially remained neu tral. Not that they who conduct it were indifferent to the good appear- ance anu, troou covernmeni, ana good , reputation of the town, but because it was thought best in so small a community as this to waive our rights and let all local disputes and heart-burnin.izs be settled in side-walk gatherings and connulta tionp, rather than be aggravated and perpetuated by the partizanship of its only press. Verba scripta ma- nent, and we desired harmony and ;ood-will among our fellow-citizens, and hoped that public opinion might be .brought to bear throuirh our col- . . . ! umns more effectually if indirectly. We were ready to publish com in u nications from our friends on bolh sides of the momentous question, for freedom of discussion is- the life of the press. L ii In our last issuej May 3, appeared a communication signed "Grunter, a sprightly ironical defence of the rights of the Hog as a favored deni zen of Chapel Hill. It was a pointed and amusing, but Entirely good-natured satire, .without the slightest Tersonalitv. Any newspaper would have welcomed a contributor who . ' -r ... wrote so well, whether for or against the editorial views.. The hogs them selves, one would have thonght, would have only smiled on its peru sal, especially as they felt - secure hi the approaching struggle for their privileges. i Whatever the hoes felt some of - k . their friends were more sensitive mid havinor no other weanoii of retort, fell back upon the good oldj fashioned method of force and iiij tSmidatiou. Messi-s. -Dr. A. B. Rob-j crson, Oregon, B. ;Tenny and C.,Ej King called uorai)tly at the Ledger office to order tlieir paper to be stopped, alleging the publication of the above mentioned article as the reason. f This is a remarkable proceeding for the middle of j the 19th century of hnnian progress, and deserves to be chronicled. That three grown North Carolina men should know so little of the rights and duties of the public press as to attempt to muzzle it for publishing an entirely proper communication from one of their fellow-citizens, shows a deplorable deficiency somewhere. TheLEDGER thinks it is schooling that is wanted. Huiry up the scliools ye guardians of our liberties ! jSign the School Bill ye State authorities ! Give'us more light right round here m Or- inge county, and ! let some ofoar I men folks have a chance to see them selves: as others see; them. Let Prof. Winston's graded school be put through without delay and let us educate, educate, educate ! Stop the freedom of the public pre for private' ends, or for any end& ! Mrs. Partington then is not the only old woman who hopes to sweep back sthe Atlantic with a broom and mop, nor Dogberry the only town official who desired to be 'writ down with . his three proper letters. ' . j The Ledger will survive all such assaults. Its first object is to pro mote the growth, moral, intellectual j and pecuniary, of its patrons. When they cease to bo our patrons the loss isi theirs, and if they can stand it, the Ledger can.' M ' Municipal Election. On Mon day last the town election was held for commissioners... It ! resulted in Messrs. Weaver, Mason,. Sparrow, lenuy arid Koherson being declared the choice of the voters '. On Mon day night the old board met and turned over to the new. Watson, Mayor, and Alexander; Attorney; resigned. :Un Tuesday afternoon at o'clock Hhe new board met and elected Merritt Cheek Jf. P., Mayor, and Wm. Creel town co'nstab'e.

Mr. J. B. Mason moved that the duties of Weighinaster be devolved upon the town Constable. Carried. Dr. T. W.
