Golden City, Colorado, is rejoicing over a bar of black sand nine miles long and one mile wide, which, yields $20a gold to the ton. A Genuine live allegator meanders around in the Atlanta, Georgia, sew ers, picking up chickens, young Afri cans, and such unconsidered trifles. ' The New York Cotton statement shows the receipts at' al Ports to date to be 3,592,695, against 2,713,058 up to same time last year. ' Beau Hickman, a noted character, of Washington City, was stricken with paralysis Sunday, and was conveyed to the hospital. V A Detroit paper accounts for the in temperance of a prominent Senator by the fact that he was brought up on "the bottle. Inasmuch as Ben Butler's backpay ,f" was the smallest amount' iat he ever stole at arty one time, the Courier Journal can't see why people are mak. ing such a fuss about it.

An English reviewer says there is more poetry written now in one year than was witten during the whole of the eighteenth century, and dyspepsia has increased in the same proportion.

IVKss Lizzie A. Stewart, daughter of Capt.

She's run away with a schoolmaster, eloped with a showman, shot a wild cat, and whipped her mother, and the sooner you take her the better." . ' Nasby writes the Toledo Blade: "I am in Illinois,- groaning over the burdens piled upon us farmers, and damning, with all the vehemence, that's in me, the monoplier that are-sucking the life-blood out of the honest labor ing classes, and trying -to convince them that their redemption, can only be brought about by abandoning at .onctrthe infamous Republican party, which is responsible for 'every evil that's ih the country ; 'from railroads down tb the potato bug." 1 They had some fun in the trial of a caserbefbre a negro magistrate at Lo voke, A!rk.,tbe Other day. The Rev. Mr. Suljivan was 'the defendant, and as he was likely to win the case, the ElaintifFs lawyer, Mr. Byrd, a big urly fellow, assailed the parson, who is a frail old body, and knocked him down. The parson's son John was at hand, and, disliking to have his father abused, jhe drew a revolver and shot the lawyer dead. The "court" lit out j at the commencement of hostilities, and they report tho case has gone by default.; f . " Gen. Van Kouten brought suit in the Cask county (Ind.) court against the Piltsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad to recover $5,000 1 damages. Van Kouten had entered a car of tho eoinyany's and refused to deliver up his ticket until the conductor furnish . ed him with a. seat. The cars were crowded and no seat was to be obtain ed," so the conductor just1 stopped the train and put Van Kouten off. Noth ing daunted, he caught on the last car and was put off a second time, and his baggage flung off with him. The case was entered in Cass county, and under change of venue was taken to Carroll county, arid the plaintiff was awarded $2,000 by tho jury as com pensation for the broken; contract. ; 6 SATTJBDAY, SEPT 6, 1873. By request, we publish to-day the fourth letter from Mr. Goodloe, on the Mecklenburg Declaration, which con tains very important information not hitherto brought out in the cpntroversy. "We hear from good authority, that Mr. Goodloe has received this information from papers preserved by Governor Swain, and copies of which are in possession of Dr. Charles Phillips, of Davidson College, who has. other im portant data connected, with thiahi toricalquestion, which has never been published. The proposed Amendments (teethe Constitution have received the sanc tion of the people, and will doubtless become a part of the organic law. But these amendments only skim the surface, and do not reach the worst features of the Constitution of 1868. We regard the clause of that instrument which allows appropriations to be made by townships and counties, by means of a popular vote, as radically wrong. It is wrong in principle to allow men who pay no taxes to vote to tax those who have something. So far this cluase has been of no practical impor tance or injury, but will soon become of the greatest , importance in voting on county subscriptions for railroad pur poses. There is no greater tyrant than debt. It is an easy matter to go fri debt, but a great struggle ,to get out. It is necessary in our opinion to have the Constitution amended to prevent subscriptions to railroads by county votes or by county officials. It is necessary to have such an amend ment to protect the tax payer from being absorbed by combinations.. It is necessary to have. such an amend ment to protect us from' our own in discretion when under a state of ex citement, j These - subscriptions are brought forward and public meetings held, the road be said to pay, the tax light, evrybofly benefited and prop erty rise in price and thus a general excitement is produced ; the tax sub scription voted, and the sober second thoughtcomes in after the evil is done: Onefof the Amendments to the Con stitution of Illinois, passed recently, declares that no county shall subscribe to works of internal improvements. It was submitted to a vote of the peo ple and fcarvied by a majority of 125,000. And we venture the assertion that no county in this State would to-day re vote a county subscription, where the people nave subscribed to such works. Another amendment to the Constitu tion of the State that is needed, is in regard jto the judiciary system. Upon this more will be said hereafter. "Three Men Went Out to Sea in a Bowl." The experiment is soon to be tried of crossing the Atlantic ocean in a .balloon. Professor Wise and Donald soil will start on this aerial voyage from New York on the 12th of Sep tember. ' The point of landing is not yet designated, but all things going well, they wijl descend somewhere on land or water, at spme point or other not now necessary to mention. The professors have invited a num ber of the editorial corps to accompany them on the trip. Balloons are in flated with gas, and. the more gas the quicker the flight. When the supply of gas is exhausted the balloon comes down. . , The Professors are doubtful that the supply of gas for so long a trip might become short before reaching their destination. Hence they wish to' have a live American editor or two along to supply the de ficiency in case of such a mishap ! and have carefully selected and invited those editors that can manufacture the largest supply of gas in the shortest given time. Wo have no doubt that the experiment will succeed, and that they will land sowewhere in Europe, and very likely in England in two and a half days. A large" and well , built balloon will , 6ail a mile per minute, and certainly enough gas can be taken on board to keep her afloat for that length of time. V ; Why should the experiment not suc ceed? Why should it not be less dangerous than a sail-boat or steamers ? Certainly less lives will be lost in this mode ofprossing the .ocean than the common fmode. There is always coun ter currents of wind as there are coun ter currents of water in the oceans flow. . When the lower v current , of wind sets North, the upper current sets South, Every one has seen the upper current blowing the clouds one way, while the lower current blew in an opposite direction. All then that these aeronauts have to do is to watch the wind currents andrun the lower or upper current as the wind blows to suit, and all will go right, because it is a bad wind that blows nobody any good. Why,. top, can not a balloon be with" little Bhortaar r catchhe i ii i I, casion requires. V All that is required for success is courage. Ihis way of travelling is surely as safe as travel ling by railroads and steamboats is now-a-days. , j Why not . take along a Herald cor respondent ? That paper has corres pondents from all parts of the world, and why not cap the thing by having a correspondent from the neighbor hood of the move ? Counterfeits. Washington, Sept. 2. The follow for President, and was made Chair g is a. description of the difference Jnan'pf the State CmpaigCo'nimit- between the'cenulne and the connter. feit $500 legal tender note of the issue of 1869 : , The upright that holds the balance of the scales held in the hand of the female figure, shows; a white line in the counterfeit over the lower part of the palm of the hand to the second figure ; in the genuine the up right is quite black and lost in shadow; the lower part of the right lapel of the coat on the portrait of 'Adams in the, counterfeit forms an angle ; in the genuine it is a distinct curved line; also the buttons in the counterfeit are ir regular in shape, while in the genuine they are decidedJ$Mound and . darker in color. Partieularattention is called to the button On tlie , left side of the coat on the counterfeit. In the word "Washington" in the counterfeit note the black shade forming the first stroke of the letter " W" forms an angle at the bottom ; in the genuine note it forms a curve. In the ruled shading under the right hand "stroke of the letter "W," and over the letters "Af and SS" therq are four ruled lines it the counterfeit ; there are but three in the genuine note Under the let ters "A" and "S" in the word "Wash--ington," in the counterfeit there are five ruled lines ; in the genuine there are but four. Also, under the letter "H" in the same word there are four ruled lines in the counterfeit ; inv tho genuine there are but three. At the bottom of the letter '.'F" in the deT nomination title there are five ruled lines in the counterfeit ; in the genuine there are six lines. The localized fibre on the left of the portrait" is blue in the genuine, but without colOr vin the counterf eit. The. red seed in the genuine is printed in a. delicate car mine color:., in the counterfeit is more of a brick color an au a heayy a vpearance, more especially the rays 'which lorm the out side of the seal. Attention is called to the blurred "and scratchey appearance of the lathe work and lettering on the back of the counterfeit, which, On comparison with the genuine, will readily be perceived. Look Out, Fanners. Csesarisni is beginning to work. It may amount to nothing, but it is well to be prepared. We clip from the published in terview of a Herald reporter with the edi tor of a prominent Grant journal of St. Louis, Mr. Joseph B. McCullagh of the. Democrat, the following indication of the growth of Csesarism thus far, and what it is to be found on. It is expected to be the great coup de main of the bondholders, which is forever to annihilate the politi cal power of the ballot-box, and most es pecially that power so distasteful to the capitalists, the Granges of the West : "WHAT DO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT?" Reporter Dq you believe there is any considerable - number of the American people who desire a Caesar ? Mr. McCullagh I think there is, and I will give one illustratipn. The railroad interests of the West are afraid of the peo ple. The farmers' granges have frighten ed them into a fear of communism and made them believe that the government is not strong enough. Every dollar of railroad stock in the States where granges exist represents theidea of its owners that the government is too weak, and as capi talists love their money better than their country or its institutions they look for somebody that will lay a strong hand on the people and give them security that their property shall not be destroyed. This may mean empire or it may mean monarchy ; but it means a stronger gov ernment than at present exists. I know a man who represents several millions of dollars in two of the wealthiest railroad? corporations of ' the West ; which are .worth ri IHe'jjgregate $50,000,000,hwk1 he says that every. . dollar in both , of these companies is in favor of what he calls "a strong government.' I once: asked this gentleman what he meant by "a strong government" and he replied, "Anything that would put down. the communists meaning the farmers' granges of Illinois and the West. A meeting of Western railroad magnates was held in, New York city some time ago to arrange the time tibles and tariffs. After those present had transacted their official business the sub ject of the farmers' movement in the West was informally discussed, and it was gen erally agreed that the people of the dif ferent States would prove inimical to rail road property and that the railroads must look to the general government for pro tection. :- v There you are, farmers ! And how is. this element Caeasarism to be squelched out ? By local fights in your States against railways? By no means. The despot which will forever squelch you out, as Mc Cullagh days, will be the "iron government at Washington.", It is the national bond holders government which is to strengthen railroad power, and that power in turn impoverishes yoib. Breakdown the Grant dynasty move now at once to break down the Grant party, and then you will in time get your local railroad freight question satisfactorily settled. If you take your eyes off the big job of getting Grant out of office, to fight your lesser evfls local rail way outrages, you will find yourselves flanked by a Grant victory in 76, and the handcuffs and gyves ready for your wrists and ankles. Read above what McCullagh says, and Weigh well our advice touching the case. nY. Y. Day Ttook The Late Hon. D. M. Barringer. ! He was born in Cabarrus county, North Carolina, in 1807, graduated at the University of Northarolina, in 1826; he selected the law as a pro fession, and commenced practice in 1829. In that year he was elected a member of the State Legislature, which position he occupied for several irs; J " - Ttntioii'iu 'ameuU"Tiief"ttate Conslllu-" tion. Ho was a representative in Con gress from 1843 to 1849, when he' was appointed by President Taylor Minis ter to Spain, and continued in that mission by President Fillmore. After serving four years he resigned his posi tion upon the accession of President Pierce, and traveled extensively in Europe, and on his return home was elected to the State Legislature ; and in 1855, having declined a re-election, retired to private life. ; I During the last. Presidential elec- tion he again appeared upon the stage of action, and supported Mr. Greeley ecu. - wiunuuieu ireeiy ;j.o . me cause. and was a sanguine worker. He was an affable and courteous gen- tletnan of refined attributes, and held in high esteem by his associates. His loss will be deeply felt in his native State and by his many friends through out the country. Wash. Chronicle, 2nd. I ClI ESTER AND LENOIR KaILROAD Mr. A. 11. Devega, President of the Chester and Lenoir Railroad, return ed home ojn Sunday morning last from a trip of several weeks duration irf Korth Carolina. He visited Dallas, Lincoln,Kewton and Hickory Tavern, saw and conversed with men from all the counties along the line of the road and is enthusiastic over the prospects of the sure completion of his road. The private' subscription is increasing rapidly -in fact much more is being subscribed than the most ardent friends of the measure dared to hope for. Col. Gardener has completed the final sur vey to Dallas, and informs Mr. Devega that he has never in all of his experi ence run a line so adapted by nature for a railroad, as the one located from Yorkvilie to Dallas. There is no em bankment or excavation on the whole line exceeding eleven ifeet in height or depth, and for six miles on one stretch it so level that absolutely ho grad ing whatever will be required. The estimate is that - the subscription to the capital stoqk already made are enough to grade the road from York yille to Lenoir. If this is so, . there is ho doubt of the final consumation of this great and important work. 4 Chester Reporter. H, Nut for Mr. D. It. Goodloe to (p'llAi'K.Tho uneompronis1hg Uniofi editor of the Sou thern Home was in the grave-yard of Poplar Tent Church, in Cabarrus count3r, on the 29th ult. He there saw the slab over the mortal remains of the illustrious patriot, Rev. Ilezekiah Balch; wVdied in 1776.. It is well known that Mi. Balch was one of the most eminent leaders in the Mecklenburg Convention of 1775. The inscription on the slab, after stating the. date of his birth, death and min isterial services, ends thus : ! "He was distinguished as one of the Council of Three, who proposed that immortal document the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, and his eloquence the more effectual from his acknowledged wisdom, purity of mo tive and dignity of charactei con tributed much to the adoption of that instrument,, the 20th of May, 1775." j The italics are, of course, our own. But it will be difficult to explain how the people of his congregation happen ed to know so much less about the date of so important an 'eyetk in the the life of their pastor than Mr. D. R. Goodloe, of Raleigh. - l&outnern Home. You may reach way down among the musty records of the past. Search the history of every country and race from Adam down arid you will find no instance, except in North Carolina, of men of respectable standing engaging in a systematic effort to' rob the his tory of their immediate section of a pre-eminent distinction. What if there is some mistake about the date of the Mecklenburg declaration of independ ence ? Why not leave it for some old hysterical hyena of Yankeodom like Harriet Beecher Stowe to unearth ? The sons of revolutionary sires observ ed the 20th of May. why should the third or fourth generation 1 want, to change it ? Piedmont Press. A Case of Conjuring So-called. A colored man died some miles below this place, a few days ago, whose last ill ness was attended by some singular cir cumstances. He had been in bad health for three or four months, and was supposed by some to have been conjured or be witched. In order to decide this matter, a conjurer so-called, living near the line of Marlbora' and Marion, was called to see him. This man after making an examii nation said it was true that the sick man had been' conjured ; that his body was full of snakes, lizzards, cooters, rabbits, Ac, but that he could cure him. With this view he commenced to treat the case, scarified his patient's legs, applied his cupping horn, -and claimed to have re moved by these means, the snakes, liz zards, &c-, with which he said the sick man's boddy was infested. He certainly exhibited dead snakes which he said were drawn out by his cupping horn, and a live rabbit and cooter were seen to come out of that same horn. How they came there is another thing. Some believed in this man's conjuring powers, and did not doubt he had done all that he claimed to have done. Others again thought him a pretty good sleight-of-hand performer and cheat ; "only that and nothing more." The result of the conjurer's treatment can be given in a few words : The man died. ; . It is strange that in this age of progress, people can be found, and that, too, in an enlightened community, who believe in conjurers' tricks. Yet "such is life." ' Marlboro Times.
