PARKER, For Congress sth District -j GENL. ALFRED M. SCALES. If yon liate to vote for Tonrgee and want to help elect him, why stay nt home. That is one way to help elect him. If jou mean anything when you iwy you are for Scales against Tqurgee, Why, go t© tho polls and prove your ■words by your acts, Tildcn's letter in reply to cipher dis-, patches published In >he New York Tribune, purporting to connect him with negotiations to buy the honest and correct return of tho vote of Florida from the returning hoard of that S ate is pronounced by the public press to bo a complete vindication of that gentleman, Irom the imputation sought tu be cast wpon him. lilden is successlully do- h-auded with bwtlUtle prospect of becoming again a candidate, and yet tlie Republican papers are industrious in their efforts tu heap slaudore upon him. it is a strange feature in fallen human nature thai we always hate and seek to • destroy thoso wuom we haro greatly -wronged. Is there any danger of Tourgee's beats iaj Scales, we are asked, None in the world, if Democrats go to the polls, but u great deal if tliey stay at home. If yju can justify your action in staying at home, every oilier Deuiociat can do the Kami-, and theu Tourgeo will certainly be elected, 1 At a political meeting in Philadelphia, some one threw a large stone at Mr. Randall tho present Speaker of the House of Representative?, while he was addressing the crowd. Now, if that had ouly occured in tho South, and Randall ? was a Republican, the bloody shirt papers could have worked the affair into material sufficient to have lasted them until after the election. Let no Democrat, who Btays at hom e next Tuesday, deolare his opposotion to the eleotion of Tourgee. By staying at home, ho will be doing just half as much 1 to elect him, as the most anxious reve nue officer in the land. — . . Party fealty does not require RepnblN cans to support Tonrgoe. He is uot tlie nouduated candidate of their parly. He is an extreirie Republican, and on this as well as other accouiits, we think we may safely say that be could not get the nomi nation of tho Republican party in this district. He was endorsed at a meeting in this place, whieh meeting had no author ized delegates, and it 'id not pretend that its action had any binding force. 8o men who vote for Tourgee cannot have the excuse that lie was the candidate of lneir party. Republican offices holders will vote for Tonrgee, that is most of them will, because tbey are afraid that they will lose their places it they do uot. We know very few white Republicans who are not either office-holders, or ex pecting to become so,themselves, or have some immediate relative who is. who will support Tourgeo. lie looks to the negroes, and Republican office holders who daro not act freely, for his votes. Next Tuesday, the sth day of Novem ber is election. Go yourself, and see that your neighbors go. Let us Bee what majority we can give in Alamance ' agairist Toiixgee_ There are men whose upright conduct fidelity to principle, unyeilding integrity and devotion to duty, as they understand it, clothes them in a coat of mdl, im penetrable alike to the cowardly inuendo, tlie shaft of slander aud the attacks of calumuy. For such men all have a sincere regard, without respect to differ ences iuopi>iiouß upon matters generally,, cr. upon particular subjects. Tlie man who has so lived that his motives aud strict iutegrlty can never bo called in question, has achieved much in life. Such a man is Geul. Scales. You may differ with him in oplnion,.bnt you cau never question his sincerity. There is not a man in tbe district, of sufficient intcllis gence t J form an estimate of men, whose high regard' aud respect Geul. Scales not enjoy. Democrats aud Repub licans alike esteem his sterling qualities. How is it with Tourgee, his opponent? Let us charge what Democrats sny to prejudice, and refer to Republicans, men ot his own party r who know him well, and declare they cannot support him,because, as a man, and us a politician they have no confidence iu- him. They declare that self and selfish interests are the controlling elemen's in the man. His past lite, that part of it fetowu to oni people, has fixed this estimate upon him in the minds of those of his own %:political party, to fay nothing of people geiKTaiiy» The Kew York Ifeialtl lms news from New Orleans of# terribleeeerctipolitical organization lit Louisntia headed "by Wells, Anderson ami Kenner of return ing board lame, (lie purpose of which is to seize ballot-boxes, intimidate voters, break up elections, and play the mischief trenerally (o secure (he defeat of the Democratic jJarty. Some disaffected Democrats, calling themselves Nationals belong to tho organization. JL'lio ilsrald hus some reputation as a sonsasionu list, but the recent disUifbanccd in thut State by the negroes would seem to giye some color of truth to the story. We trust that Alamtiico will not bo cureless in tho election next Tuesday. We have done well in tho past, when others were indifferent. Lukewaruiiiess, absolute iiiditlcrenco in Guilford, beat Holt for the Senate, last August. Nearly or quite a thousand voters In that county remained at home on election day. The great majority of these were Democrats. We always loso when ihere is not a large vote. An average of two Demo crats will stay at home to one Kepubli* cau. Let each Democrat, not only resolve to go to the election himself, but to mo his Influence to persuade bis neighbors to go. Tliere is only a short time to work in. All the more important it is that the few days should be well employed. Let tho result in Alamance conic up to the occasion. Let us show to the world our choice between General | Scales and ex-Judge Tourgeo. We know belli. Our action next Tuesday will Fhow whether wo remember the past. Scales is worthy of success, Tourgee , deserves defeat, especially at the Lauds of i lie people of Alamance. Can out* people remember insult and injury, and t have they the spirit to resent ? Next Tues day will tell. (3.500, The Legislature, at its session of 1 1871-2, created u commission to iuvcsii-. gale charges ol bribery whicH had been i made against members ot the Legislature ( of 1868-il. This coinraisiou, consisted ot llou. W. M. Ship, chairman, Hon. S. B. Batchelor and (icnl. J. G. Martin. Its investigations were long and tedious and fill a volume of nearly six hundred pages. It develops the lact that about two hundred and fitly thousand dollars was used as a corruption fund, with which to bribe members of the Convention and Legislature. Of this' fund tl.e sworn evidence 'shows that Judge Tonrgee received TIIRKE THOUSAND FIVE HUH* DUED DOLLARS. lie was only a member ot the Convention. Jle then exercised the only legislative powers he was ever entrusted with. These are the facts, and neither he nor his fVieuds cau deny them. Do the people wish t'o clothe him with ihepowersof their ltopreseutaiive in Congress? We know that Congress is the sceue ot the struggle belwceu capital and labor in this country. Do the people wish to send Tonrgee there to fight their battles? If he has once shared iu a cor* ruptiou fuud would ho do not so again? Genl. Scales charges him with this to his teeth and he can't deny it. It is nc t uecs essary to use ugly words, lie got the money. It was set apart to buy measures, tax ing the people, through the Convention and the legislature which followed, and , these bodies were controlled by men like Tourgee, who bad not the interest of the people he represented at heart, nor had he any sympathy with them. He had not then and he has not now. His pur pose then was to mafce money, it is his purpose now. The people, Republicans and Democrats, want a mau to represent them who will make what ho honestly believes to be their interest, and the ..in terest of the wholg country, his rule of action. That.GbJjjgcales is no on" doubts;, thwjndgs Tourgee*,no one believes. I'HS EI.GUTION. Iu just one week, the first Tueiday in November, is the election*. There is an apathy iu Democruth; ranks. There is overy reason why Democrats should be aroused, and prepared to do their doty. Iu the candidates (hey have a man to support who is in every way worthy j and one to defeat whose political notions are as inimical to their interest, and to the interest of the people as political opiu* ions can well be. The people have a fix. Ed idea that there can possibly be no dan ger of the defeat of Scales, at feast by such an opponent. This very idea, and' Us conseq.ucuccs,constitute the only dans ger. The negroes will support Tonrgee, and they wMI go to the election. They always do. The revonue officials, the gaugers, the storekeeper*, the detectives,, the marshals, the deputy marshals, the clerks aud hangers on connected with the revenue department, and all others holding places by the favor of the Re publican party, and their family connec tions, as ftir as their influence extends, will vote for Tonrgee \ aud they will cer tainly go to the election. They are afraid not to; while in their hearts many ot (hem hope be will be defeated. Wo know they do, because many of them are men of good Xudgemeut, and of good inten tions. These, the negroesaud' he office holders and their influence and relatives amount io a considerable port ion of the vote of the distriet. Now, if the Demo crats, resting iu the belief that there is no dangor, should indifferently stay at I home, it nay be possible for Tourgee to be elected. The thought ot even such a possibility should inspire 1 Democrats i with activity. Let them consider that flic aggregate vol qls made tip by indi ; crfiig ihat one vote won't count much, and that he has something elso to do, there may be thousands of others thus J concluding that 3( will really mako no difference if they stay away from the , polls. And we tell you if enough slay at home, Tonrgee may possibly be elected. Then how would the Democrat, who neg lected his plain duty, and staid at home on election day feel abonl it? Think of it and make up your minds to go to the polls and vote. It is your privilege and it !s no less your duty. Wilh a full vote, such as .'he Democrats polled in 1876, Scales majority would certainly be much larger than ever before, but if enough j Democrats stay away from 1 Ibo polls, ' Tourgeo will certainly be elected. The ciffice holdcs and negroes will not stay iat home, und that may be depended upon. TUB JOINT VA.ItASS HVAI.ADIANCE The joint canvass, between.Scales and. Toiugee, closed at this place, last Satur day. There were hue two joint appoint ments in this county, one at Patterson'* Store, iu the south part, and —the other ono here. We can only speak of the discussion from what we have heard others say about it, our engagements be ing such as to prccluue our hearing for our at If. At Patterson's tho crowd was not large, in fact we understand the crowds have not been large. Scales led off, was followed by Tourgeo, then rejoined, and Tourgeo cloßcd the discussion. The order of speaking wasTeversed here, Tourgee opening and Scales concluding. Much of the time of each is devoted *to the financial q nest ion, with a marked differ ence in their manner of treating it. Tourgee goes into the philosophy and science of finance, and theorizes learned ly, while Scales takes a practical, conis inon sense view of it, and argues from ihe actually known and felt results of the past financial legislation of the Re publican party. Tourgee is uncompro misingly for hard money, and champions the cause of the bond-holder and bullion est, while Scale* is for greenbacks, and opi>osed to a forced resumption. Tho great issue is between capitalist and the people, and, to put the matter in a nut shell, the difference in the position of the two men is, Scales is on the side of the people and Tourgee on the side of the capitalist. At this,place there was quite a re speotable crowd present, though consids ering it was the county »jt, and one of the only two places that the candidates were to speak at, in the county, it was not large. Scale's friends felt abundant ly satisfied wilh the discussion, and the few who favor Tourgee among the whites appear to be equally as well satisfied with the effort of their candidate. " Liko other cany ft? sea, the pant rec ords of the candidates received a share of attention. Scale'* past furnished nothing that could be tortured into the slightest reflection upon his faithfulness, capability and high integrity. Tourgee is not so fortunate. Three thousand five hundred dollar* of the corruption fund, raised and set apart to buy the Canby convention, of 1867-8 of which Tourgee was a member, was traced directly to his hands, by Bworn evidence, and there was no escape for him. The proof was conclusive and he had&to wince and squirm and bear it. All that- he could s4y was that he spent it among the peo ple. He hadn't evan as good an excuse as the miller, Jake Fullenwider, who acknowledged that he took too much toll, but excused himself by saying he gave it to the poor, and it will be res membered that he parsed to the right with the sheep by a very tight squeeze. Toargfe didn't relieve poverty with his ill gotten gains, but spent it in his own interest, so he must go to tbe\ left with the goats. The joint canvass closed, but the two candidates have separate ap pointaentn up to the day of election. BBNI'i ICALE»AND UIS STATION* Bur. This the heading of an editorial In the last North, State, in which it is songhtlo leave the impression that Genl. Scales has been receiving money that he was not strictly entitled to, without mak ing the charge direct. We clip the foN lowing which contains what it is donbN less hoped will, iu the estimation of the cursory reader,- amount to a charge against the Ueneral "What will our people who CM hardly afford to pay $2.00 a year for a paper think when wo tell them that the present Democratic House ol Representatives votad itself the enormous sura of $37.6254)0, fir newspapers and S'atronery. We are told that Gen. Scales' share of UUB little fund was $250, for the extra session ami the present Congress up to this tine; and that he used $48.09 for newspapers and stationery, and took the balance in mi ney. We can hardly credit this. Hut, if true, he cleared, in cai»n, ODI of the newspaper appropriation $201.91. It has bten a standing law, for a great number ul years, at leant ever since the war, that members should be allowed one hundred and twenty-five dollars a session . foi- stationery—pens, ink,--paper, ink • "BtarfftP, envelop*, wrappers, &c., &c. ' TJie Government, in a room in the capi >( lid, keeps all these articles, and each i member is furnished and charged with , what lie gets, and at the end of the scs , fion his bill ia made out, and. if it ' amounts to more than one ' hundred ami 1 twenty-five dollars, he pays the balance, . it lo less lie is paid fhe balance in 1114 . favor. This has been a standing law for , years, both under Republican and Dcnio ' cratic Houses'. It was so when the ;>av ■ ofa member was thiee thousand 'dollari i a yeai, it remained so when tho "pay was raised to seven thousand and five hunt died, aud it is so now, when the Demo crais cut down their salary to fivethous -1 aud dollars a year. It enters into every sundry civjl appropriation bill as rogu , larly as dues the salary of tho President, or any oilier fixed allowance. The dou ble now is that theio was an exira ses sion lust year. Just as the last session of Congress was adjourning, and just bo i fore day, ihe smithy civil appropriation bill being upon its final passage was amended, so as to include the extra ses sion, as a session, during which each member was entitled to a hundred and twentysfive dollars for stationery. The ayes ami noes were not called. Geul. Scale- came home, und some time alter got his stationery account, and a check for the balance ot two hundred end fifty dollars, a burnt red and twenty-five _ for tlie extra ges.-lon and the saino amount for the regular session. Now, as General Leach Would say, listen. What did Genl. Scales do? His judge ment was thai though tlie law said that each member should be allowed a linns died arul twenty-live dollars a session for stationery, yet iumcaul for each regu lar session. And Ihougli Congress last year met in October, and was necessari ly called and extra session, it..til Ihe first Monday in December, yet ihe t*o ran together, and should be treated and re- j guided, so far as this allowance was ! concerned, as one session. So he declined to receive a dollar of this hundred and twenty fire dollar allow ance for the extra session, and so itn mediately notified the clerk ot the House. He couldn't i\ ccive it, because his judgment told hiiu that lie was not eMiiled to it.. Many goxl men of both parties did re ve it,because they thought they were entitled to it. Genl. Scales thought differently aud would not and has not touched a dollar of .t. Did* The North State know and did it tiy to insinuate a charge, (hat baa no foundation'( It is no credit to Genl, Scales to refuse to receive money that he does tiot think ho is lidncstly aiid justly entitled to. It is what every body knows he would under any cicuiustunces do, but how about the other man? So vanishes the first, last and only semblance ofa charge that tho opposition has beou able to trump up against Genl. Scales aud this one is only insinuatingly ventured. When Tourgeo considers flint John.., Sbetiuan, Jim Blaine, aud other Rcpubs lican politicians have been üble lo amass forluues running up into the millions, by a few yeara service as members of COUH gress at five thousand dollars a year, is it any wonder that bis anxiety to reach such opportunities should prompt liiui to take his present desperate chances of an election? And whou be looks upon Scales, who has served four years, and is still uot wealthy, and has been content with just what the law allowt. Without picking up extra pay for sorvices iu tlie interest of tlie bond-holders, and other persons wilh legislative jobs on hand, there is little wonder that he accuses Scales of having done nothing. The man who goes to Congress, and docs not sell his votes and influence, in the esti mation of certain Republican politicians has neglected bis opportunities, aud as a member of Congress has proven a failure. Our people rather prefer tho mail whose vote and influence in a • representatives capacity has neycr beeu the source of il legal gain to him. HARD RU*. More than a week ago there was a homicide in Charlotto. A nogro cook,in the reslaurant of tbe Mozart aaloon was slain. There was for awhile souio uiyss tery connected with tho killing. Tlie Coroucrs investigation however develop cd the fact, as reported in tlio Chariot le Observer, that a youth named Piicster.a cadet iu the military school at Charlotto, aud a South Carolina boy, fired tlio fatal shot, and that he did so in defence of bte own lite, while tlie infuriated negro was rushing upon him wilh a hatchet. The last North State makes the unfor tunate occurence the subject of an edito rial, and charges that it was the result ot tlie teaching ot tLe newspapers of South I ('arolina, and the example sot the youth of that State by her Democratic pjlith cians. Would The North Stato have white men, or white boys staud quietly and bo butchered by drunken negroes, , without raising their hands to save their owu lives? Is the God giveu right ofself defence to become a crime when exercis ed against the murderous attempts of an armed, drunken, brutal negro? k It must be hard run indeed for a pretext for a feeble attempt in the shirt business. It must indeed be dntr2e of material when it can find no better subject for a campaign editorial. It little matters jf negroes kill white folks, but the negro must not be balked in his murderous intentions, if the result shall ,be dangerous of fatal to him. If the newspapers and Democratic politicians of South Carolina liave done nothing woi>e than to teach the young men ot that State to defend themselves against the deadly assaults of negroes, »heu tee think they huve done well. i !

GREGORY, Chairman Democratic Executive Com mittee WA«HI\GT©* I.CTTEKf Washington D. 0.) Oct. 23 1878. J i Last week L promised to give yju flie | plans through which (ho business men t North as well as South hope to procure a | competing railroad line to thc'Pacificand 1 develop a large (listriot of country to re animate onr tagging industries." Thoro are several plans, but they must of course all be embodied in ono to succeed, and Ihe people of Southern California, op pressed by the exactions of Huntington's Central Southern Pacific monopoly in that Stale will unite with the east iu favor of tho road on the line of the Texas fe Pacific way siuvoy, provided tbe Government shall control tho manage ment and the rates of tbe new lino and make it imposi-ible for it to combine with oilier roads lo maintain the present high rates. Starting upon this basis it is proposed that the Government shall en dorse (ho conslruction bonds of the com pany that shall unclertako the work, to Ihe extent ouly ot the interest on a limit ed amount, say $&},000 per uiiie. This interest on the whole lino would amount to less than $3,000,000 per year, ami for (his endorsement tlie Government is to be protected against loss— First, by a flr»t lien on the whole equip ments. Second, by a recession of the compa ny's lands in the original grant, o»cr 20,- 000,000 acres, one half of \> hirh may be sold to satisfy the interest account. I'hird, by the Government's using the railroad and ,fele;ranhic line free of charge until tiro interest »s paid. Fourth, by providing that the compa ny shall pay for all expense ot issuing the bonds, and of the government com mission who are to inspect the building ot tho road ami upon whose recommen» dation alone each section of ten miles can be accepted and tlie bonds issued there on. o If there is in thfa plan any loop hole through which the Goveinmeat can lose a dollar, the business men who are push ing it will stop it, and it is said that the Texas & Pacific Company will accept the strictest terms, even to permanent gov>» eminent control, us they expect to sell tlie endorsed bonds at par and lo build the road cheap for cns;i, say one third Ihe cost ot tlie Central Pacific. The men who Imvc a commercial interest in. this work indulgo great anticipations from its developments, both in through and local traffic, since it will traverse the richest belt ot country oir tho continent. It is not of special importance to (lie people that any particular irwu shall be President ol.thc United Stales but itinav be vital to parlies that particular men shall not be eand'dates. 'lhe radical party might nominate Blaine, for inslance and the more solid and honest classes of the people, with not much regard to party lines, wonld vole against lihu. It might nominate Grant, and tliousauds of honest Republicans who believe iu our form of Government would oppose him solely because it would bo a third term nomination. The Democrats, too, though Irom present appearances they could succeed against any possible Republican, will probably sec good reason to exercise care in selecting their candidate, so I hat not only himself but his surroundings may be nnobjeclional. At any rale, in changing times like these it is not well to 3ay. so long ahead, that this or that man shall be chosen. Hon, Eugene Hale, fhe' distinguished or extinguished Statesman of Maine, is noisy iu bis threats of what Ire will do, aiwd what invesiigalions he will demand when Congress moets in December.
