Brogden has appointed D. M. Burches, Esq., of Iredell. Judge of the Superior Court of the 10th Judicial District* vice Judge Mitchel resigned. “Isn’t the Kepu blican party respon sible for the rain?” [Pittsburg Com mercial.

'the suspension of Duncan, Sherman & Co., of New York, does not affect any house in North Carolina, and neither does it seriously affect any house at the South so far as our in formation extends. Within the presidential terms, five presidents^Fierce, Buchanan, Lin coln Fillmore and Johnson—have died. Mrs. Polk, Mrs. Fillmore, Mrs. Tyler, Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Johnson, the wives of five of these ex-presidents, arc yet living.

Five octavio volumes have already been prepared for publi cation, each Volume consisting of about 800 pages. The entire work, it is estimated,- will require 10’0 volumes. A good deal of denominational en- feV^rise is exhibited in- Ilinois. “Key. Peter Green, a Methohist, preached a sermon is Scottsville, and invited any dissenter from his doctrine to reply. Mr. Olbert, a Baptist, accepted the in vitation. Brother Barr, an adherent of the clergyman, commanded Brother Olbert to stop talking-. A- quarrel ensued, then a fight, and the meeting ended in confusion. The factious met next in court, whore they fought with canes, stones, knives and pistols, but nobody was more than slightly hurt.” Gov. Brogden has been absent for the past week at Asheville, looking after the Western N. C. Kailroad in the name of the State. On Monday and yesterday he was at Greensboro ef fecting the final arrangements for the State to control the road under the recent purchase. We learn semi-of- ficially that everything has been ar ranged satisfactorily, and that the new Board of Commissioners, under the Legislative enactment, will be appointed this week by his Excellen cy, when the road will he formally placed in their hands.—Heirs'.' The following compliment is richly deserved. We take from the Concord .Register. Very few men in the State did bet ter service than Major Montgomery in the canvass just closed.- De was in the mountains two weeks, abd spoke nearly every day, and many were the compliments paid him by the papers of that favored section. The Ashville Expositor said that his speech at Marion was the best effort of th‘e campaign, and Judge Watts, we learn, did him the honor of saying that he produced the best arguments in favor of a Convention of any man he had met on the stump.

DEATH OF W. A. GRAHAM. The deatn of this estimable gentle man and statesman will be universally deplored. Etc died at Saratoga, N. Y., on Wednesday, the 11th inst. Ile was born in this county on the 5th day of September, 1804, and graduated with the highest honors of bis class at the University of the State in 1824. Mr. Graham filled many important offices during his career in public life, and his demise will be looked upon as a public calamity. The Kaleigh News pays the following compliment to this good man: Certainly no event comes with a greater shock upon the people of North Carolina than the announce ment of this great and good man. Every man loved him. Every man revered him. Every man respected him. In all the relations of life, whether as the man, the, statesman, : of the politician, William A. Graham stood the first. North Carolina may ransack its history, may go back to the days of the Davis, the Caswells, the Murphys —there will be found none to come up to the pure ideal of statesmanship like William A.- Graham. Ife was exalted in intellect, an exaltation so great that it brought him into national prominence. Ile was pure in morals— so pure that there was never a taint upon it when it seemed to be the pleasure of politicians to befoul the fairest fame—and he was so beloved in his private relations that all will weep at the sudden announcement of a death which comes at the present time a thunder clap. Gov. Graham has just been elected as one of the Delegates from Orange. He was looked upon as the guiding spirit of the Co.nven.tio.u.„..Eor. weed Ar for woe, he has been taken from us.

On finding, it, she fell to the floor beside her, and expired. The wife became a raving maniac. Surely, there must be some law to reach such heartless scoundrels.. Suclr enterprise (?) as this deserves the condemnation of all respectable papers and persons. The Chicago Times may yet have reason to regret follow ing in the wake of the sensational, disreputable journalism which has of late years characterized that political weather-cock, the New York Herald. THE ELECTION. RELIGIOUS. There has been an interesting con ference of Elders and Deacons' of Mecklenburg Presbytery in the Pres byterian church here this week. The Convention was called to order at 11 A. M. on Tuesday, 10th, and Gen. Prince, of Charlotte, was chosen to preside, which service ho discharged with much courtesy and ability. Various subjects were discussed. Mr. Thos. B. Price, of Steel Creek Church, read an essay on the “Tithe Law,” which provoked an instructive debate. On Tuesday night Gon. D. II. Hill read an elaborate essay on “Exposi- cleansed and cooled by the lemonade and the fast. His theory is that food will be used as a remedy for many diseases successfully. As an example, he cures cases of spitting blood by the use of sault; epilepsy and yellow fever by watermelons; kidney affections by celery; poison, olive or sweet oil; erysipelas, pounded cranberries, .ap plied to the parts effected; hydro phobia, onions, etc. So the way to keep in good health is really to know what to eat—not to know what medi cine to take. COMMERCIAL. CORRECTED WEEKLY RY M. I. EUDY. Friday, August 13, 1875. Ail the counties are heard from and we have carried the Convention beyond a shadow of doubt.

It appears that a man had purchased some wool of him, which had been weighed and paid for, and Mr. Sheaf had gone to the desk to get change for a note. Happening to turn his head while there, ho saw in a glass which swung so as to reflect the shop, a stout arm reach up and take from the shelf a heavy white oak cheese. Instead of appearing suddenly and re buking him for the theft, as another would, and thereby losing his custom forever, the crafty old gentleman gave the thief his change as if nothing, had happened, and then, under pretence of lifting the bag to lay it on bis horse for him, took hold of it, and exclaim- REPREHENSIBLE JOURNALISM. Some months ago a sensational writer employed on the New York Herald wrote an article, five columns in length, with flaming head-lines, describing graphically the escape of the animals from the zoological gar dens, in Central Park, and giving a list of the persons killed and maimed by the enraged brutes as they roamed at will over the city, terrifying the in habitants and leaving death and deso lation in their dreadful wake. While real names of those who performed deeds of heroism in aid of the police to capture or destroy the infuriated wild beasts were given, the list of unfortunates was composed of ficti tious personages. At the bottom of this article was a ten-line paragraph announcing that, of course, “the above has origin only in the imagination,” and was induced by looking through the iron bars of the dens and cages at the zoological gardens, and urging a greater degree of caution on the part of officers and keepers to prevent such a catastrophe, the Herald urging that it was not beyond the range of possi bility for such a scene to actually oc cur. While the publication of this article was very generally and justly condemned and occasioned much hor ror and anxiety in the minds of readers before they came to the explanation, so far as we now recollect, no serious or fatal consequences occurred.

Every morn ing, says the doctor, this patient arose with a wonderful sense of rest and refreshment, and a feeling as though the blood had been: literally washed, Spotted Tail. The following account of the cele brated Sioux Chiot, Spotted Tail, is from advance sheetsof General Bris bin’s book: During the latter years of the war, part ofSpotted Tail’s family remain ed for a time at Fort Laramie, and with them was his favorite daughter, a y oun g girl just budding in to woman hood. The tort was then garrisoned by compnies of Ohio regiment of volunteer cavalry. Among the offi cers of this regiment was a voung man of good appearance and pleasant man ners and w.th whom thechief’s daugh ter fell in love. Het passion does not seem to have been reciprocated by the young soldier, and he did all in the his power to convince her he could not marry her, and therefore it would be wrong in him to pay his addreses to her. But the infatuated girl would not believe, and could not un derstand why she, a princess, and the daughter of the most powerful chief on the plains, was not a suitable wife for the young soldier. Day after day she would dress herself with scrupul ous care, and come to the fort to see- her beloved. It was pitiable to ob-1 serve her, as hour after hour she would sit on the doorstep of the young officer’s quarters, waiting for him to come out. At other times she would follow him ab >ut the parade ground like a dog, seeming perfectly happy if she could bo near him and enjoy the poor privilege of looking at him. Spotted Tail hearing of the strange conduct of his daughter, and deeply mortified at her want of self respect, hastened to the fort, and putting her in charge of some kind friends, bade them carry her off into the Rocky Mountains, where a portion of his tribe dwelt, and endeavored in every way to make her forget her unfortu- ate love. She went away meekly enough but fell into a deep melancho ly, from which no effort of friends could arouse her. Presently she re fused to takeany food, and pined away to a mere skeleton. One day a courier, whose horse was white with foam, sought the great chief and told him his daughter was dying °1 broken heart, and wished to see him once more before she passed to the happy spirit- land. Away over mountain and stream hurried the chief and paused not for food or rest until he had reached the bedside ofhis be loved child. He found her still alive but fast sinking, and she bid him sit ciose beside her ami hold her hands in his while sho told him all her simple story of love and suffering and a broken heart. She then said: “I shall soon be at rest, my father, and ■with those of our kindred who have gone before. In that beautiful land 1 will wait for you, and you will soon come to join me, dear father, for your locks are whitened with years of care, you are fast growing old and tried. You are a greet chief and have yet many warriors, but the pale faces are more numerous than the leaves of the forest, and 1 pray you to c. ase war- ring with them. Spare your people, my chief, rest a little while in peace, any you will have reached the end of your journey of life, and come to join me in the happy home to which I am now going. The pak faces are his people, and between you and them 1 hope war will never come again. And, 0 my father and my chief, when I am dead, take my poor wasted body and lay it on the hill beside the fort where I learned to love so well.” The pulse less hand grew cold as the great chief promised his child all she asked of him, then the lustrous eyes glazed over, the thin lips ceased to move, the smile fled from the wasted face, and the Indian girl was dead. The heart-broken chief bid the at tendants dress the body of the princes for burial, and on the shoulders of stout warriors it was carried to La ramie and laid to rest among the pale faces, one of whose race she had so fatally loved. Her grave is still pointed out to the traveller, and there it will long remain a monument of the saddest story of the plains. Spotted Tail often speaks of his dear dead daughter with affectionate remem brance, and once in a great counsel held with the whites at Laramie he said: “Were not the hopelessness of resistance, and the dictates of policy sufficient to restrain me from acts of war, the pledge I made to my dead child in her dying hour would cause me to keep at peace with your people.” When Eph W. was elected constable up in Wayne township, Ohio, it was a sensation to him, and he could hardly realize it. It awakened visions of warand bloodshed, and he determin ed to put himself on a war footing. Wouldn’t he have to command the peace? And the army and navy to effect this purpose if it were neces sary? Thon he procured a horse pis tol, and securing a copy of a “war rant” he repaired to the forest, took a position under his vino and fig tree,, as it were none dare molest or make him afraid, and selecting a beech tree a foot in diameter, ho read the docu ment to it in a loud voice which fair ly made the forest tremble. “Hold ! you scoundrel I” he cried, “one foot more,, and I’ll blow your brains out!” Then bang went the horse pistol,, but bo missed the tree every time.
