Sterling E- Edmnnde who lately
killed Dr.' Lipsoomb, his socCin law,
in selt defence, dropped dead at his
residence near New's Ferry, in Hali
fax eo , Va., on Monday evening laBt,
from' heart disease.
,Wp w ; requested by J. A. Long,
Esq., whose name has been pressed

, The Radicals in this State are again
playing the "brag and bluster game''
for effect on weak-minded democrats,
If the Person county democrats will
listen at.the Revenue offioials and a
few grand Moguls of the party in that
county, the Rada will make them be
lieve that Person abounds with bria
die tails.
There is a Mr. Allison in the U. S.
Senate who, iadefending assessing
.tfieof&oe holders for electioneering
single case wherein an officer Las
been removed for refusing to contri
bute to this oorrnpt fund. We think
we can furnish an instance in the re
moval pi Hon. C. S. Wmstead, one of
the best Revenue collectors in the U.
States . . Mighty few officers have
dared, like Mr. Winstead, to refuse;
and he who has done so has had his
head sent to the block, with some
other pretext for his removal.
We hear that at a Radical meeting
of about a handf ul of the "faithful'
held last week at Roxboro, and which
was manipulated by Messrs. Riggs
and Adams, young Revenue officers,
the latter "orated" on tbe occasion,
and iu the course of his harangue he
charged the Democratic party with
having "bankrupted the State !" We
rise to demand an explanation of the
young Revenue official Where did
he get his information for this ad
. captandum statement ? We opine if
tha young man tarries at the gates ot
Jericho until he gets a particle of
evidence to sustain the charge, his
. oft,; downy- bfjrd will have grown !
several inches longer ! Precisely the
reverse is the fact, by pillage and
plunder and high handed stealing, the
Radical party "bankrupted the State."
The Democrats rescued it from
famy and disgrace.

APATHY.
The Democratic party, we fear, has
too much apathy pervading its ranks
if we may judge the State from this
stand-point, where we have no sys
' tematic organization no-concert of
action. If we expect' to' carry tbe
State (as we can and will do if every
democrat does his doty,) we have
work to do, and no time for sleeping;
The enemy is wide awake, and works
"while we sleep. 0 for a blast from
f Gabriel's horn to' awake the slumber.

"A Fres Ballot and a air, CsuatJ"
That is precisely the thing "the De
mocrats want-yBot isn t it supreme
ly ridiculous and pre-eminently hypo
critical in the Radioal party to talk
about it? Why, not an election has
taken place in this State since the negro-
was made a voter, that he dared
to give a "free voteH No'matter hew
anxious hs was to give a democratic
vote, if he gave it be gave it at therisk
of being murdered by a mob or badly
whipped. : And this is what the-Ra-'
dical eaiffl call treevote and an
bonest couotr -JTney to talk about
honesty They who have stolen the
Presidency plundered the Treasury
of billions and murdered their Presi
dent, all in the name of a free bal
lot and a fair countl" Why, who,
here in North Carolina, fails to see at
almost every election precinct, ne
groes who want to vote the democrat
io ticket but aie afraidl Who has not
seen or hsard of oolored men being
pursued with sticks, stones, knives
and pistols, and in hundreds ot oases
severely beaten, simply because they
voted the democratic ticket? But in
Radical eyes it was all right! It was
the essence and 'qnint essence of what
the Radical leaders consider "a free
ballot and a fair count! We person
ally know of many colored men who
are disgusted with the-Radioal party
and who Would gladly vote against it
but they are afraid ot being mobbed!
We personally know of many who
have been mobbed and severely whip
ped because they gave "a free vote''
to the-democrats, and we have yet to
hear of United States officers hunting
why? Because it was looked up
on as "a free ballot and a fair oount."
that is, the whipping these men got
for voting the democratic ticket.
Political Assessments.
The Republican congressional cam
paign committee, says the Statesville
Landmark, has set about to raise a
half million dollars with which to
carry this fall's election. It has al
ready begun sending out to the vari
ous subordinates in the government
service, its circulars soliciting contri
butions, and not only are the men as
sessed, but this robbery is maintained
upon women and children, even the
pages in Congress and the scrub wo
men about tbe capitol being put under
contribution. Of course the under
standing is that be who does not con
tribute must walk the plank, and as a
measure of protection to tbe uufortu -nate
employes, the New York Civil
Service Reform Association, ot which
Mr. Geo. Won Curtis, a Republican,
and the editor of Harper's Weekly, is
president, has addressed a circular to
the government employes informing
them that in the opinion of counsel
they will be liable, under section 6 ot
chapter' 289 United States laws of
1876, to punishment, if they respond
to the assessments made upon them.
The statute in question reads as fol
lows: All executive officers or employee
of the United States not appointed by
the President with the advice and
consent of the Senate are prohibited
from requesting, giving to or receiv
ing from any other offiper or employee
of the government any money or
property or other thing of value, for
political purposes, and any such officer
or employee-who shall offend againBt
the provisions of .this section shall be
at once .discharged from the servioe
of the United . States; and he shall
also be' deemed "guilty of a . misde
meanor,, and on conviction thereof
shall be fined in a sum not exceeding
five hundred dollars. .

Dr.. Hicks, Guiteau read aaeleotion
ifrom the 9Chch. ot Matthew, 1st to the
41st verse inclusive. He then re
markj,' HI am now going to read to
yon mtaet dying prayer," and 'read
the following:
"Father, now I go to Thee and the
Saviour. I have finished the work
Tbeu gavest me to do and 1 am only
too happy to go to.Tbee. The world
dqps not yet appreciate my mission,
bit Tbou knowest it; Thou koowest
Thou didst inspire Garfield's removal,
And only good has come from it. This
is the best evidence that the inspira
tion came from Thee, and I have set
it forth in my book that all men may
read and know that Thou, Father,
didst inspire the act for which I am
now murdered. This government
and nation by this act I know will in
our Thy, eternal enmity, as did the
Jews by killing Tby man, my Saviour.
The retrtbntion in that case came
quick and sharp, and I know Thy di
vine law bl retribution will 6trike this
nation and my murderers in the same
wy. The diabolical spirit of this na
tion, its government a,nd its newspa
pers towardslme will justify Thee in
cursing them, and-1 know that Thy
divine law of duration is inexorable.
I therefore predict that this nation
will go- down in blood, and that my.
murderers, from the Executive to the
hangman, will go to hell. Thy laws
are, - inexorable, 0 Thon Supreme
Judge. .Woe unto the men that vio
late Thy;,laws. Onl
i. l ne
American press has a large bill to set
tie with the Righteous Father for
their vindictiveness in this matter.
Nothing but blood will satisfy them,
and now my blood will be on them
and this cation and its officials, Ar
thur, the President, is a coward and
an ingrate. His ingratitude to tbe
man tnat made mm and saved his
party and land from overthrow has no
parallel in history. Thou, Righteous
Father, will judge him further. Thou
knowest me, but the wot Id hath not
known me. Now I go to the Saviour
without the slightest, ill will toward
a hman being. . Fare well ye men
.of, earthier'
t .Whence had finished ; reading his
prayer, he' again surveyed the orowd,
and Baid, istill with a firm voice, "I
am now agoing-, to read you some
verses, which are intended to indicate
my feelings at the moment of leaving
this world. If set to musid they may
be rendered effective. The idea is
that of a phild babbling to bis. mam-
uj ouu.uu) papa, i wrote it mis
morning about 10 o'clock." " He then
oommenced to chant these verses in.
a sad, doleful style: ? .,
; "I am going to the Lordy,

' Kore'Tnitk thaa Poetrv-
Tbe.followinir'is from tbe Ueids
ville Tims! whose editor has a blunt,
way ot. saying what is in iim; and
whenjbe strikes goes right for; the
nail's head, and generally hits it: !
Z There isjtoo little leading of senti.
ment bv the press of the Bute. In
stead of dictating they are dictated to
by a set of ancestral gentry who air
to themselves the position of the great
Tycoon over all the little neighbor
hood omoesasd promotions and would
imply it a great condescension to even
advise with so small a thing aa an
editor and an immense privilege to
patronize his paper with their support.
And alas, io many cases the editor,
with his ear-flaps down like an over-,
worked donkey at the town cart, falls
humbly into traces and pulls bis load
to the crack of their whips. So that
we have very little healthy sentiment
from the longs of the people pervad
ing the State. - It is too much from a
stilted oliqne, that the large multi
tude of Generals, Colonels, Judges and
Ho no rabies who exist merely upon
newsrarer. that sentiment is made:
and the rule is that the masses seeing
it at direct issue with, tbe God given
thinking going on in themselves, have
about reached a point to detest all
newspapers and politicians as they do
scissor-grinders and side-shows. They
have seen too. many of these petted
favorites of the opera glass circle fat
tening on the body politic like vermin
on poor cattle until like vermin they
get so fat in their own oqnoeit as to
rear up their hindsights in insult to
the power of tbe people that has made
them. We warn the convention about
to assemble at Raleigh that the peo
ple have let up on the idea that any
particular class of men shall dictate
the offices or hold them by diotation.
We think it was to Walter Clark we
said six years ago in Raleigh that the
day was oominjr in North Carolina
when independent journalism would
be popular. We see signs ot it.
New Wheat.
New wheat is coming in slowly, and
as yet no sales have taken place at
the Exchange. The crop this vear is
said to be tbe finest that has been seen"
for a number of years, both in quan
tity of yield and quality. The weather
also has been verv fine for harvesting,
and every indication points to a profit-

ty, from $1.30 to $1.35. In Baltimore
the first ot tbe new crop brought a
little more than this, but it is safe to
Bay that our market is unsurpassed,
and that farmers will find it to their
interest to ship their wheat here.
Richmond Dispatch.
But for the timely appearance of
Mr. Joseph Cooley on the streets of
Hillsborb Tuesday night, all the pris
oners would have escaped from jail.
A party led by Parrish Ray, who was
sent up from Durham on a charge Of
burglary, had broken , several locks
and in a half hour would have been
out of tbe cell when the escape would
have been easy. Mr. Cooley heard
them at work, gave the alarm and
soon the jail was surrounded by a
number of persons and the escape of
the prisoners prevented. Durham
