The publication of the letter which announce the acceptance of their nom inations by Govenor Tilden and Gov ernor Hendricks have had an influence on public sentiment. These epistles are full of riches, and resemble a mine in that while some of the treasures lie upon the surface, wo have to dig and dive before we can discover the full extent of the wealth that is to us vouchsafed. Men are delving into them, trying to get to their very bot toms, and are discovering the value of the ore they contain. The letters of the Cincinnati nominees will bear no comparison with them. Men bee the difference, and unite1 themselves with the forces under the command of those which he has not a particle of to bestow upon the iniquitous crowd, and the first does not enter into his composition in the. slightest de gree. Mr. Thomas is goiug to the Legislature to meet his old friends who were there in 1841 and 1S42. He has a reputation that is not confined to State Hnc3 for native honesty, and a high toned gencrosi t) Wdl some good Democrat in Raleigh oblige us by going up to the House of Representatives and make a seat for him ? KcKLUX.Thc Radicals arc go ing into conniptions because the Democrats nominated, Randolph A. Shotwell KuSlux to the Legis lature, and thereupon went straight way and nominated Jim Boyd a self confessed KuKlux to Congress from the Greensboro District. This is seeing ,thc little things almost, through mountains at home. But by the time our Candidate finishes scaling Boyd there will be so little left of him that neither the Ku Klusor Union League, would have him. Scale him t!ean Alfred. Don't let him go to Washington or one might lose the services of Mar tin, Brother Blaine, Spencer, Old Boutwcll and tho rest of the scarry crowd, When did Mnlhcw Eaton, tho Publican3 and sinners appear? He ought to havo had a place. Old man Ephram Williamson (Squire . Doggies) was left off the ticket T Arc his friends saving him to succeed Judge Watts in 1878. Why did not Teyton Green get a place on the Radical ticket 1 His eminent services and abilities en titled him to such recognition. Judge Watts had his micro scopes down with hin last Satur day through which he noted the action of the Convention. Sorry the Judge is getting near sighted. NOTICE.

Y have the satis faction of feeling that while half of their State taxes arc remitted $8,000,000 out of $16,000.000 it is accomplished without improvidoncc of the future or temporary retrench ment which cannot be maintained; and that the appropriations have beeD kept clearly without the means provided by the taxes levied; so that no tempory floating debt wili be created or invasion of the sinking fund made, as has often and to a large extent, happened hitherto, in disobedience to the ex press commands of the Constitu tion, and in violation of the whole scheme and policy oi that instru ment, in respect to the State finances. Are the people of Franklin con tent longer to be oppressed and al most crushed beneath the burden want a Board of Commissioners who have left a rejxirt of an investi gating committee, appointed by themselves, showing that their Clerk had charged and received $700 or $800 more than lie was en titled to under the law, lie on their table without action for a year? If they do they get it in the Radical Candidates, three of whom were on the old Board. Mr. Harris whom they left off, has tried frequently to have tho matter considered. But his effoits have been' futile as he j he was out voted by the majority. Ballard, Long, Webb, Gill, and Fowler arc different men from that.

They are losing faith in the men who are placed iu command of their army andthare is danger of open insurrec tion. Coukling is told by Chandler that he must withdraw his favorite from the race for the Governorship. Conkling had enough of the curb at Cincinnati, and feels disposed to en joy his freedom of action now. His friends feel somewhat as the adherents of Blaine do.

If so let them vote lor the Radical nomi nces. But while doing so let them remember how it is in Wake, Nash, Wilson, "Warren and all the counties under Democratic Commissioners. Let them remember how it was in Wake two years ago, and how it is now. Then let them choose be tween the Radical Candidates and such men as Gill, Webb and Fowler.

BALLARD! secure the re-election of our Candi date to Congress. The large ma jority by which he was elected two years ago may lead some of our people to believe that his personab jwpularity and the remembrance of his valuable services in the Natiop.al Legislature, are all the incentives the people will neod to make them roll up a still larger ma jority for him. This way of think ing, if it is indulged in to any great ilar purpose, one cannot help wonder ing what way our opponents have disposed of the brains that wont to di rect them. The intellects of its most conspicuous members have been racked to compile epistles whieh they could send forth in the i.aroes of their candi dates, and yet these appear upon a plane of thought so much lovier than those which arc composed by oqr nominees ea-h by the man whose name it bears that when one stand? upon the plat form wl.ich the latter writers have erected, their rivals and their cffort3 are completely lost to view.

Wynne the doughty and money losing ShertfF, who wants Democrats to vote for him because he voted for Green, and apologises to the negroes, on the grounds that he could not have given his bond had he voted with his party, and Calisher the Julius Jew, and men of that stripe. Mr. Thomas has ever been true to his people. They will be true to him. Nothing less than one hun dred majority will do for him. Kikk, Holden, Pearson, Settle. On the 20th July, 1870, Governor Holdcn wrote to President Grant in forming him of the condition of affairs in North Carolina, and predicting that Chief Justice Pearson would substan tially sustain him On 23 July, Gov ernor Holden telegraphed to Washing ton as follows: i llabeus Corpus jnst decided. Chief Justice Pearson substantially sustains the State Government and re fuses to interfere." AND PEARSON CONVICTS SETTLE. The Chief Justice in case of Exixirte Kerr and others, after deciding that "the power of the Judifhuy was ex hausted,' thus convicts Captain Settle his other brother Justice as follows. He says: , "It is gratifying to be able to say that the other Justices have been in unreserved conference ith rue, and that all concur in these Hvbeas Corpus proceedings." And thus tands the record as to the part Settle took in the Holdcn- Kirk war.

Do the people of Franklin want the County put on a cash paying basis, so that when a county order or jury ticket is issued the holder will have nothing to do but to go to Treasurer Clifton and get his money, m is the case row Ballaid, in Wake, Nash, Warren, Orange, Wil son and the other Couuiics with Dem ocratic Boards of Commissioners. If so let them vote for our Democratic Board: B. T. Ballard, David II. Gill, Robert T. Webb, Joseph Fowler and Norman Long, arc their uamcs. Do the people want again to elect a Register who has charged, received and persist in holding some $700 or $800 mere for his services than is legal? If po let them elect Tucker. If they do not then W. K. Martin Jr. is the man. Had we not better have a change? Buck should step down and out. If not of his own accord, then he should be invited so to do. J. C, Wynne, the Radical nominee for the ohice of sheriff is the samo man, who said, four jears ago, in a speech in front of the post office, "that he was the Radical, RErcnLicAN Negro Candidate."
