full confession of his share in the eon

hi,
Brotherhood but becsu the road
ofHcials dislike him perpoualiy. The
other defendants ther are favor
ably dispos -d towards. The text of
the "Eqaeal" was not made pubfic,
but it was important to necessitate a
postponement of the case be
fore the Federal court as well
as in the State tribunal. It
is certain that when the three
jail prisoners, Bowles, Broderien and
Wilson, were brought over from the
jail this morning and put in the cage
in the marshal's office. Bowles sent
word that he would see the district
attorney. He was taken to Ewing's
office and there confessed to General
Manager Stone, Inspector Bonneld
and Attorney Collier., The only di
rect information as to the nature of
the confession was a well denned
rumor that a United States warrant
had been issued lor the arrest of
Hoee, who is out on $16,000 bond
under the conspiracy charge brought
under the State law.
The crowd waiting in the Federal
Court room was .again large and
chiefly composed of Brotherhood
mon, w hose looks, or sympatny cast
on the prisoners as they were brought
in, indicated tbeir appreciation oi the
danger their comrades were in.
Bowles came in vrithi the District
Attorney and took a seat beside him
opposite the other prisoners, who
Hashed vindictive and- contemptuous
looks at him. - He was visibly agita
ted and moVed restlessly in bis seat,
keeping hiV eyes on the floor before
the attorneys. Before the Brother
hood had a chance to interpose,
Bowles, who was still trembling, was
induced by the District I Attorney to
rise quickly and waive an examination.
A ' sensational scene ensued. The
Brotherhood attorneys, Donough and
David, protested loudly ' that they
had been treated with great unfair
ness, and given no show from the
outset of the trial. Lawyer David
hotly denounced commissioner Hayne,
declaring, 4'We could expect nothing
else frbm: the court, and hive received
nothing else." The commissioner
ordered David to be arrested by the
marshal, bat the latter "did not at
once comply, Jind David subseqently
made a Pickwickian apology to the
court. Bowles was released on $500
bail. After the court adjourned the
heretofore reticent prisoner, Wilson
Savage, denounced Bowles, ridiculing
the idea that the latter was innocent,
and exclaiming : "The chicken heart
t he had laid down." , .

There are still fifty firms in the man

probably be held hero Tuesday when
it is presumed that they will decide
to sign the scale. They still claim
that the wages demanded by the

'-It is almost certain," said one,
"that some of the firms will with

after we would have no organization
to confer each year with the Amalga

Under instructions from the Secre
tary of the Interior, Commissioner
Stockslager has directed the Alabama
& Chattanooga Railroad Company to
show cause within thirty days why
they should not be made to secure the
restoration to the public domain of
72,054 acres of land situated within
the indemnity limits of the Wills Val
ley Railroad in Alabama. By the act
of June 3, 1856, Congress made a grant
of lands to the Wills Valley Railroad
and another to the Northeast & South
western Alabama Railroad. These
companies were subsequently consoli
dated under the name of the Alabama
& Chattanooga Railroad Company. It
ia claimed by the General Land Office
that 72,054. acres were erroneously
certified to the Wills Valley Road to
make up a deficiency along the line of
the Northeast & Southwestern Ala
bama Road, and the two grants should
not be treated; as heretofore, as one
continuous grant, but as separate and
distinct grants, and that the surplus
indemnity land of one road should
not be taken to make up iox a defi
ciency in the other, j

In the Eastern and Central Dis
tricts there has apparently been an
average amount of rainfall during the
week, which has been especially fa
vorable to cotton and grain, and
somewhat unfavorable to tobacco.
In the Western District there has ap-
artntly been a deficiency of rainfall,
ut crops have not been very unfa-
vorabiy anected. A little more rain
would undoubtedly improve the con
dition of all crops in this district.

From what can be learned down
here, politic is in good condition in
most of the neighboring counties to
the west of us.
The Democrats of Watauga, Ashe
and Alleghany have just nominated
Mr. Winfield S Farthing, of Wa
tauga, for the Senate. He is a capa
ble man, enjoys a largo popularity,
and will be elected himself and
strengthen the whole ticket.
Our folks promise to carry Wa
tauga this year by a handsome ma
jority. They are united and confident
while the "Tamaracks" (this being
the local name given the Republicans
of the tall timber section of Watftuga)
are demoralized and . hopeless. The
Democrats will pat out strong and
acceptable men for the legislature
and the county offices. By the way,
could they dp better, than nominate
for the House D. B. Dougherty, Esq ,
of Boone t None of our business,
you know, but everybody in this part
of the State knows of him as a culti
aiSi Jentlqma.n. jp s&
of the best party workers in the west.
In Ashe there are, it is reported,
some local troubles, but it is hoped
they will be composed before the
election. Ashe is a very close county
and our friends do not often win a
clean victory in it. This year the
fact that a man who was in the party
of revenue ruffians who murde ed
the Snyders a number of years ago
is the Republican candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor, is depended upon
to turn the stomachs of enough "Re
publicans to give the county to the
Democrats. Our friends ought to
pool their issues and nominatethe
strongest men.
Alleghany is reported all right. She
never denied the faith but once, and
can be depended upon for a solid ma
jority this year. Rev. Isaac Landers
will probably be nominated for the
House.
In Wilkes the prospect is still ex
cellent. Those admirable politicians.
W. W. Barber and John E. McEwen,
will doubtless bo nominated for the
Senate and for sheriff, respectively.
Several finst-class men are spoken of
for the Home, among them Capt.
John A. Cooper, John S. Cranor,
Esq., and R. W. Colvard, Esq., The
Wi'kes Democrats are thoroughly in
earnest this year and are humping
themselves for a victory along the
line. The ''Old mountain Boy, as
the statesman from Trap Hill is fond
of calling himself, is very quiet thus
far, and may conclude to let "some
other good man" 'contest the Con
gressional rase with Colonel Cowles.
Tyre is not very fond of running un
less there is something in sight
Our excellent iaylorsviue corres
pondent keeps our readers well post
ed as to the pontics of Alexander
county. The Democrats of that gilt
ant little county are buoyant and at
work, and expect to increase their
ast majority. There will be no room
in Alexander this year for the inde
pendent foolishness. The convention
on the 30th will put a full ticket In
the field and put it through at the
polls. If they will Organize in their
townships, as it no ri looks like they
will, and get out their voters, they
can settle once and for all the inde
pendent business, which has for years
been the bane of their politics.
In all the counties named the nom
ination of Judge Fowle is the most
acceptable one that could have been
made, and if the balance of the State
will do its duty as they will do theirs
he will have the largest majority that
has been secured in the State since
the
war.
Sertoue Accident.
The Hickory Press of this week
says : On last Monday evenmg those
of us who heard it wereBhocked when
the news was brought to town that
three of Mr. P. C. Hairs children had
been seriously hurt.
Some time in the afternoon Mon
day George and Maggie Hall took
their baby Bister for a- ride behind a
horse thought to be perfectly safe for
children to drive.
The three children were en joy In
their ride out toward the South Fori
River, when the horse for some mys
tenons and unknown reason became
suddenly frightened and began to
kick and run. ' Maggie says Bhe does
not know how it occurred, but the
baby was the first to fall from the
buggy and she was next. In falling
her apron strings were caught in the
wheel and she was dragged about
thirty yards over the rocks and was
severely wounded and bruised
George was then thrown out and
dragged for some distance and sus
tained several very severe wounds
and bruises. Dr. Baker thinks there
is no immediate dancer.
The mother of the children, Mrs.
P. O. Hall, is the sister of our esteem
ed citizens the Messrs. Whiting. Vie
are pleased to learn that the injuries
are not likely to result seriously. J

The Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of North Carolina, O. H. Dock
ery, seems noted for "never opening
his mouth without putting bis foot
in it." In a recent speech he as
serted that the Democratic party were
responsible for the war, and for the
emancipation of the negro. This
was a very bad break, and much
more of the same sort of talk will
divide the colored vote in a way most
distressing to the party managers
The Republican leaders have always
laid stress on being friends of the
netrro, but let the colored man once
cret the idea that emancipation was
merely a war measure; and not die
tated by sympathy, and his independ
ence will be a startling feature in the
campaign. Incautious Mr. Dockery
should be soundly lectured.

condition appears to be improved
this morning. Thera has been no re
currence of hemorrhages.- Dr. Mai
len remained with him until 7 o'clock.
Between the hours of midnight
and twoj o'clock this morning Mr.
Randall sufEered from several slight
hemorrhages. After that time he
succeeded in securing some much
needed sleep. Dr. Mallan, with Mr.
Randall's j personal ; attendant, re

at ten o'clock, when he met Dr. Lu

stipticS should be applie 1, which it is
hoped will check the hemorrhages
for a tune' at least until the patient
can get strength. Dr. Lincoln was
very conservative in his expressions of
opinion as to the probable result of
these remedies. He believed that
their effect would be to check bleed
ing for a time, but would not go
further in his " forecast. There was
danger of ; stubborn bleeding, which
would bo did cult to control. Mean

the suggestion, and it is a capital one,
that a grand Democratic demonstra

Journal says a
"W. suggest that a grand pplUical
demonstration be gotten up by the
two towns of Beaufort and Morehead
and that a grand procession of boats,
of which there is a countless number,
be had. The lighted flambeaux
and the music upon the water and the
gay boating would remind one of the

In these days when experience and

'bonds" from their employees almost
imperative among business corpora
tions and individuals, the absence of
an "Indemnity Company, such as is
well known in other localities, has
been severely felt in this State.
Many men who could otherwise read
ily command positions of trust can
not obtain them for the season that
they shrink from asking their rela
tions and friends from going on their
bonds, 3tc, whereas owing to the
facilities offered by an "Indemnity
Company" they are relieved from any
embarrassment of that kind, since by
paying the email premium required
by the company an "indemnifying
bond" issued in favor of the employ
er, absolutely guarantees the latter
from any possibility of loss... It is
with much pleasure, therefore, that
we welcome into our midst that pop
ular and well known indemnity com
pany, "The Fidelity and Casualty'
Company, of New York, which has
just entered North Carolina with
Messrs. F. H. Cameron & Co., of this
city, as i general managers fdr the
State, to whom all correspondence
should be addressed. .The fact that
over thirty-five thousand of the lead
ing banks, railroads, manufacturers,
merchants and other business men of
this country are patrons of the com
pany, speaks for itself.
