name is Berkeley Cone. A gentleman,
from whom we gather this information saw
bim at Ferrell s on Wednesday, and bad

Smith, dnnng the war, wanted to buy bis
blood-hounds. He refused to sell. Smith
then told bim that if be did not let him
have the dogs he would have him con
scripted into the Confederate army.
Berkeley Cone thereupon came to Raleigh
lo see Gov. Vance, wbo, after bearing the
complaint, assured bim that bis exemption
according to law, should be respected.
Billy Smith then sent for him to come
to Johnston county to a militia muster
He went. Smith made a speech to tbe
crowd, and told them tbat with Cone
dogs he would only need half the present
number of men x and tbat (Jone would let
them have the dogs, and his horn, if they
would put up $2,000 to pay for such of
the dogs as might be killed, and he swore
that "if any damned deserter" killed one
of those don. he would hang him. if he

From the Richmond Whig.
In the very pointed speech which Got.
Tilden made in Albany, the night the
news of bis nomination reached that city,
"to a vast concourse of her citizens calling
on him, alter pictuiing this vast country
stretching from ocean to; ocean, with a
fertile soil, with every variety of climite
and production, with natural and artificial
modes of travel and transportation : unr
surpassed, with all the arts- and indus
tries of an older civilization, and bound
less natural wealth of a virgin continent,
"vre ouzht to be the happiest and most
contented people on the globe."
He therr turned and asked : "What
ia our actual coudiliou ? All business
depressed every industry languishing
labor without emDiOvment. and the wolf
at the door of every home in the land,
gaunt and hungry."
In bis own very clear; way, he states
the reasons tbat m the 11 years since
the war tbe earnings of labor . and in
come of capital have been consumed
and wasted in governmental expend!
tures.
Believing with Guv. Tilden tbat it is in
this vast and wasteful extravagance and
- robbery of the public funds, together with
the unequal, fiscal operations ot that Mor
rill tariff system, which we propose to
show is another of tbe most prominept
causes of all of the suffering which the
funic has inflicted on this land since
September, 1874, to this present boor.

employed in the New Orleans Custom
House under lirothermlaw Uasey. t ur-
gnson told a good deal, and was to tell
more in New Orleans; but he failed to put
in an appearance there, and, like Billy
Lackaday's father, has kept in tbe back
ground and never since been beard from.
Whether be has been kidnapped, as Bab
cock and Grant's friend Moore attempted
to kidnap the Government witness Perry,
"iu order to vindicate the integrity of the
President," or whether he has been
bought off, or frightened, or appointed a
foreign consul, as 'Blaine proposed to have
Mulligan appointed, is a question which
persons outside of official circles would
fiud it difficult to answer. But his disap
pearance is mysterious, and suggests re
collections of other mysterious disappear
ances under similar circumstauccs. For
instance, the House Committee on Indian
Affairs, in the course of its Investigatiqis,
bad occasion-to summon one John H.
Smoot, who had been a clerk ia the
Indian Office for ten Jor twelve years.
Smoot testified that he had resigned his
place in live finance division of the Indian
Bureau because he was UMjustTy, as he
thought, transferred to the Pension Office.
Upon being questioned as to his reasons
for the trausfer, be testified that it was
made because he refused, at the solicita-
lion of Congressman Shanks and the late
Indian Commissioner, tbe Rev. L. P.
Smith, to falsify the records of the Inte
rior Department and Indian Bureau for a
political purpose. Having resigned, he
says he looked over the whole transac
tion, and considering that be had been
injured, proceeded to lortify himself with
facts, after which he hiade charges in
writing'againat SecreUry Delano and
Commissioner Smith. The result of this
bold move was an earnest invitation from
Commissioner. Smith to withdraw his
resignation; and upon doing so his pay
was restored, though he did no service for
the Government. About this lime an
investigation into the affairs ot the Indian
Bureau was set on foot, and Smoot was
ordered away from- Washing. n, A. H.
Wilder, Smith's favorite cantractor, giv
ing him $300 when he went away, with
out any explanation other-than that he
was to leave the city immediately. This
was in May, 1874, and until February,
1875, he continued to receive a salary
from the Interior Department, though he
testified that from July ' 16, 1874, until
February of the following year he did
not do a single day's work. The methods
of the present Administration are peculiar,
and it requires a great deal of money to
run the Government as it is now conduct
ed. It is therefore no-wonder that, with
an election approaching, the Hayes and
Wheeler men in the. Senate resist all the
measurer of retrenchment proposed by the
Tilden men in the House.--.tf. Y. Sun.
Kikk. Holden, Pearson, Settle.
On the 20th July, 1870, Governor Hoi
den wrote to President Grant informing
him of the condition of affairs in North
Carolina, and predicting that Chief Jus
tice Pearson would substantially sustain
bim. Ou 23d July, Governor Holdeu
telegraphed to Washington as follows :
"Habeas Corpus just decided. Chief
Justice Pearson substantially sustains
tbe Slate Govermeut and refuses to interfere."
AND PEARSON CONVICTS SETTLE.'
The Chief Justice in case of Exparte
Kerr and others, -after deciding that "the
powerof the Judiciary was exhausted,"
thus convicts Captain Sottle and his other
brother Justices as follows. He says t
''It is gratifying to be able to say that
the other Justices have been in unreserved
conference with me, and that all concur
in these Habeas Corpus proceedings." ;
And thus stands the record as to thf
part Settle took iu the Holden-Kirk war.

The Goldsboro Messenger, of July 27,
tells this pitable shameful story which,
for humanity's sake, we wish we could
disbelieve ; "An incident happened here
Wednesday just after Gov. Brogden had
received tbe nomination for congress.
The governor met West Brogden, a poor,
idiotic brother of hU, clad in rags and
barefooted., Mr. Jesse Grant called the
governor's attention lo the dilapidated
dress of his1 poor brother, 'and suggested
tbat as he (Brogden) had been distribu
ting his money liberally among his negro
manipulators, he might give his barefoot
ed brother a pair of shoes. The governor
acting upon the suggestion gave his
brother the pitiful sum of fifty cents. At
this several! bystanders were indignant,
and thereupon Richard A. Newsome and
Jesse Grant furnished West with the
shoes. West will hardly vole for the
governor." j

The undertaker, Mr. John Steers of West
Brighton, received an order to have everything
as plain as possible.
Here is a proof of good sense and taste
on the part of Mr. Garner's friends. "Sa
ted with the pompous follies of this world,
of which I huve had an uncommon share, I
desire to have na posthumous display,"
wrote tbe celebrated Lord Chesterfield.
and ordered his body to be buried in the
nearest graveyard, and his funeral ex
penses to be limited to a small snra. His
example had great effect in England in
putting down foolish funeral nomn. In
this country, it is among people who - are
not rich that faneral folly is carried to its
highest pitch. People who can scarcely
see a mouth's food ahead, will spend what
is to them a little fortune at a funeral, and
the bard-earned savings of friends are
expended in a dreary procession of hacks
to a distant cemetery, "What possible
connection can there be between-my
drinking a glass of wine, and that fellow's
health?" asked a man when urged to
drink a toast: and what nmisihlA at;-f .-
tion can there be to the dead In a long
retinae of hacks at $10 apiece fillad with
mourners, whose grief i not always as
palpable as hough, to be, following him
to Greenwood ? If people want to give
proof of affection after bereavement, let
them subscribe to help widow or children!
