C, Sept. 9, '76 To the Voters of North Carolina .- A special t-rm of the Circuit Court of the United States for the Eastern Dis tiict of North Carolina is ordered to be h-ld in l hid city' on the 20ih of Septem ber for I lie appointment of Supervisors of "Registration and Elections, and a Vnnilar ordx-r has or will bt promulgated, we pie siiiik', for the Western District. Our elections have hitherto been held under (he supervision of our State anthoii lies, inteiference on the part of the -federal g iv eminent being unknown. As this inoveineiit is liable to be misapprehended by many of our peo"ple, we deem it not inappropriate to isue this address in or der that you may the more readily com prehend the ol ject and iuteut of this pro ceeding. , -v In 1871, a statuate law was passed by the Congress of the United States, which pro vi lee, among'other thing, that on the pe'.itiott of ten citizens of good standing in at.y county in any Congressional Dis trict, the Judge of the Circuit shall open the Court aud proceed to appoint and commission two citizens, ho shall be of different political parlies, for each- voting precinct, who shall be known and' design ated as Supervisors of Election ; and these Sup rvisors shall be able to read and write the English language, and they shall attend at all Times and places of registration, and challenge any doubtful in the excitiug contest of 1874 not even simple affray is known to have occurred on the day of election within the borders of our State. Most of our people were doubtless not aware of the, exisleuce of such a law upon the statute books. Yet they have nothing to fear from its faith ful execntion. On the contrary, if it will but tend to relieve the minds of our friends at, the Noith, of their cnisappre henfions as to the justness of the return of the election we anticipate the most favorable Vesnhe. Each freeman should therefore be sliinutaiud.ancw to make tin majority in favor of Reform and Recon ciliation so decided as hereafter to dis pense with such peri uncliouary ; aud ob noxious interference. The Conservative voters, constituting the law and order party of , the S:ate, have ! oi, iiie. f lightest cause to appreln n.l any inconvenie oce Irom a f.tithtut exixu lion of this federal elvc:ioii law ; and when it is understood we "are conti(lMit lliey will not iuly yield a ready obedience, but accept the acMcu of the government authorities as not merely an assurance of peace and protection at every po ling place but a guarantee of a fair elec tion. Those colored people, who have' de sired to vole the Democratic ticket, but who are aud hav uniformly been deter red by i he proscription and intimidation of the maeses of lheir race, who were and are incited by unscrupulous leaders, should especially welcome the. anion that has been taken by the government au thorities. They can now attend the polls and vote the ticket of their choice, with out the fear of molestation either "on account of any vote they may intend to give" or "because of any they may al ready have given." In conclusion we may add, it is notour purpose to criticise the circular letter emanating from what of late has become the political department of the adminis tration, uoc to discuss the law under which tne attorney general assumed to act, however much it may contravene the principles of local eelf-governuient.

Kickard refused to do ho in an angry tone, and' the dispute waxing hotter, thrust his hand in the rear or pistol nocket wf his pants, but before he could with draw his hand, Weil drew his pistol and shot h j in three limes in the body, irtlicting wounds that souii caused his death.

As soon as Us wife cat down, he locked the door, aud drew from his pocket a revolver. 'Madame' he said, "the hour of j-our punishment has come.

W.-Babb, of Sates connty, the author of the following card, is one of the most brilliant and promising ministers among the Baptists of eastern North Caro lina. He is a self-made man, of unblemish ed reputation and one of the most popular of all the ministers of the Chowan Associa tion, by far the largest and most influential body of Baptists in the State. A few months ago he was called to the pastorate of the Baptist Church in Newbern, but was unable to accept. The Rev. Mr. Bailey knows nothicg of the publication of this card, be ing absent trom the city. Mr. Babb gives it to the public in the interest of justiee and truth. Here is what Mr. Babb savs : Editor of Raleigh Neu s : I was introduced to Gov. Holden on the cars uetween itareign and f avettevillc, on my way to the Baptist State Convention, (Nov. 1872,) and had a very pleasant con versation with him. I was pleased with bim and he seemed to be pleased with me. During the sesson of the XJonvention he in vited me to dine with him at Judge Bux ton's, which I did. "We walked from the church to Judge Buxton's residence, took dinner and returned in a carriage to the church. During most of this time tbe topic of con versation was the political record of Gov. Ilolden, of which he spoke freely, and I thought frankly. He confessed his regret for having allowed the interests of his party to sway his letter judgment, and declared that he was forever done with politics. -He said that the Kirk war was forced upon him tV unwise and unsafe counsellors; that Kirk was not the man of his choice, but cauie so recommended tuat ne coma uo nothing but appoint him to the command of the troops; that the whole thiug was against his better judgment, and he regret ted that he had acted as a partisan and not as a christian. He 9aid the murder of Stephens w as for political effect, and his murderers were thought to be ot his own party. He spoke of the rope fouud ou the neck of the niur dered man. and the tmdmg ot the coil trom which it was cut as likely to elicit evidence unfavorable to parties who were supposed to be friends of Stephens. Thos. W. Babb. Gateeville, N. C, Oct. 18, '76. port the story, and not even tradition to account for Aubrey's appendix to it. 'Sir John Danvers, he says, got early iatelli geoee of the murder in London, aud going straightway to Paternoster Row, where the murdered man's sister lived iu moder ate circumstances, he "clapt up a match with her before she beard the news." Thus Dauntesey came to the I) an verse and in 1629 was the residence of Henry Earl of Banby, whose brother, Sir John Dau vers, the regicide," had married a iilnv Ti : i i . . it n.uww . a uo it iuun d cou was a paie, tail young man, "lean to an extremity," and witti, as Walton further tells us, a body apt to consumption." Djiuntesey is hard ly, according to modern ideas, the place for a patient wiih lung disease, but in the seventeenth century they thought differ ently, and George Herbert was sent sue cessively, when bis complaint howed itself, first into Essex, and afterwards to Dauntesey, a noble house which stands iu the choice air." At Dauntesey La probably met his wife. She was a Danvers, the daughter of a cousin of Lord Danby, Charles Danvers, of Uayuton, V place that lies some ten miles or more further down the river, near Lacock. The stry of the marriage has been often told. Walton gives it some romantic features, which Mr. Grosart, in his new edition of Herbert's Poems (Bell 5cSon8.) takes un necessary pains to refute. That Jane fell in love with George uneeen, and that she married him three days alter their first interview, as-AValtou says, cannot be disproved by reference to the fact of "her near rela ive,. Sir John Danvers," Mr. Grosart coes not say how near, but" he was lier father's first cousin having been "for sixteen years the husband of George Herbert's mother aud a true second father to himr" They were not married, here, but at Edington near Westbury, on the 5th March, 1G29, as Mr. Grosart has as certained, though the register it self has perished.

The correspondent says the article concludes with an attack upou the virtue and mauners of Ameiieau women. : An Insurance Ag"tH has brought suit against the United States L'f Insurance Company, iu the -Supreme Court of Kings county, before Judge Gilbert, alleging iu his complaint great aud various irregu larities chiefly against John E. Deveritt and James Buell. They are charged with a conspiracy to transfer the reserve funds of the Conjpany to other companies. for their own advantage. Judge Gilbert has granted a temporary injunction, in order for the examination of Buell and Deveritt for tiial by referees The free for was coucludoil sentiug the older form, Close to this is railway station and canal lock of Daunte sey, Dauutsey, Dantsey, or Dautzy There are perhaps as niauy ways of spell ing it as. of spelling Shakespeare or Bt-tk-hampsted. Two miles notrh is the church, and almost touching it the raauor-house. The Avon here bends soddenly to the soulhwaid, and the high road crosses it by a biidge from which the church ad hall may be seen standing near the water's edge on the ait, or ey, "from which the name is derived. The house is modern aud to the last degree uninteresting, but the church will repay the. trouble of a visit. The manor was inherited by the Stradlings, ot whom we haye heaid iu Glamorgan, from the heiriss of the Dauut eeys, and was afterwards successively owned by the Dauverses, the Dikc of York, afterwards James II . and ihe Mor dants. Earl of Monmouth. Of the last of the Stradlings Aubrey tells u thrilling story, but modem investigations have iiQt tended to confirm its credibility. On a certain Sunday 'morning the bell had been duly tolled, the congregation was all as sembled, the Rector was robed and in his place, but the chancel seats were empty,, Those were days when countiy squires wei wailed far in jchurch, and, S'r Ed ward aud family not making their anpear- aree, the natural thing would have been, tof-o on without tiiem It is probable, and it is certainly to bo hoped, that ihe meeting iu aid ot Wash ington aud Lee University which took place at Philadelphia last week will be fruitful of good results. The institution is one of the few in una country the asso ciations of which go back to Revolution ary times. It was originally a mathemat ical aud classical school, established near Greeuville and known jis Augusta Acad emy. Iu 1770 under the impulse of the time its name Was changed to Liberty Hall, autf-in 17S2 it wasebaitere d. It received the name of Washington Univer sity in 1796, when George Washington presented lo it 100 shares of James River Canal slock, which he had received from the commonwealth. In Iteu of this ea dowment the Legislature guaranteed the, institution 6 per cent, interest on the sum ofSoO.OOD, and iu ISOO tbe Society of the Cincinnati out of its liberal resources gave the college $25,000 Like some of-the German universities in Nepoleouic times, the school was broken up during the un happy civil war, and as Geueral Hunter made the institution liisTicad-quarteis in 1864, a great deal of damage was done to the buildings, and the chemical and phil nsophical apparatus was absolutely de stroyed. The college was re-orgunized in 1SG5, and as General Robert E. Lee ac cepted the presidency, it soon regained, aud more than regained, its old renown. After Lee's death, in 1870, the- name of the institution was changed to Waslung toil and Lee University, ihe people ot the. State desiring to link together in houor the memory of two illustrious Virginians the successful soldier ot the Revolution and the unsuccessful soldier of the rebel lion. For some time there has becu a project ou foot among citizens of all parts of the country to endow richly tbis col lege, of which Washington was a bene factor, and which is socar to Virginian pride. The general participation of the victoiious North in such act would be a noble peace-offering aud would be espe cially appropriate in this centennial year. Among the eminent citizens who., hay been engaged in this movcmenUare Chief a Justice Waite, Charles Francis Adams, Morton Mc Michael, Colonel Thomas A. Scoit, General Patterson, Senator Bayard, George F. Hoar, William M. Evarts and ra iny others of equal standing, represent iug the bi st conservative sentiment of both parties.
