The breach seem s to be w ideu inc. and 'the President's friends include - a ir number of the most influential - a" . pien of the State.

The Inferior Court for Rowan opened at 10i o'clock, Monday. The Hon. F. E Shober. flanked on. his right by John Sloan, Esq., and on his left by Win. 11 Fraley, Esq., Chairman. The G rand Jury .was then drawn ainl sworn. After which the Chairman recited the circumstances which rendered an Iuferior Court ueces : sary, and the law whiclr created Jt ant fleflned its powers. JIo enumerated -some of the subjects of its jurisdiction, am ijrged Jurymen to a faithful, fearless am impartial performance of tlyir duty as officer of the State. This address, very like a iudge's charge, was attended to with marked attention, not only by, mem hers of the Grand Jury hut also by citi zens iu attendance. An jonjeer was sworn to take charge of the Grand Jury and they were conducted to their room. A -petit jury was therein pan nelled, anc the Court was ready for business. Solic itor, Jjis.

W e do not remember any other State whoso agricultural department has fouu it necessary to-cstablise a journal to pro mote its success. That, of course, is no reason why Nqrth Carolina should not have such a journal If it is believed it wil promote the cause of agriculture, "as we doubt not it will. And yet if it shall have the effect of crippling private enterprises devoted to the same cause, we cannot per eeiYO Jhat thero will be anything gained jfco the State by.' t.he new idea The Caro Una farmer at ilmmgton and Enniss Xorth Carolina Former at Raleigh, are first-rate Journals, at prices far below tneir real value; and yet experience ha shown that is extremely difficult to make sich publications pay the cost of editing and printing.

Lokdok, October 1. This morning's Standard publishes the following special dispatch1: . - '. "Sofia Sept. 30.Trustworth informa tion has been received here that Osman Pasha has repulsed the Eusso Roumanian attack on his front and left, inflicting heavy losses. It is said that he attacked i the Russians on the Lovatz road and re covered several positions, j This seems to agree with the report published in Con stantinople newspapers, yesterday, that Osman Pasha had defeated the Rouman ians before Plevna, bnt there is no more reason to believe one than the other." The Standard's details; resemble the fight of Sept. 11th and 12th, remarkably. As the Imperial Guard, numbering 56,- 000, is said to be due before Plevna by the 5th inst., it is highly improbable that the Russians have made a general assault without them. The Standard's correspondent with the Turkish army telegraphs from Plevna "Osman Pasha's' looses from the Russian cannonade ar& exceedingly light, but on the day he retook the redoubts in the Loftcha road, he lost 3,900 men. There are now, fceptemoer xsra, only i.inju wounded at Plevna." A Standard Bucharest special says Gen Todebeuzo's plan of the situation at Plev na has been laid before Grand Duke Nicholas. It is understood to declare that a siege of operations on a roost ex tended scale is requisite for the capture of the place. The Czare witch visited Gorny Studin Saturday, to relinquish command of the Imperial Guard. The second Turkish convoy for Plevna has returned to Orkani, the Roumanian cavalry having captured eight wagons of grain. Grand Duke Nicholas has the liver complaint. The first Turkish convoy which entered Plevna consisted of two hundred wagons; the number of wagons in the second con voy is not reported. The correspondent says of the Russians before Plevna : "They seem . completely at sea. They have no plan, no idea, no head. They are waiting for reinforcements which are arriving slowly, and which, when all are here, will hardly more than cover their losses by battle and sickness during the last two mouths. I thiuk history" offers no such example of a splendid army in such an utterly helpless condition. Sulie man Pasha is fortifying at Schipka pass, apparently with the intention of wintering there." Paris, October 1. The Russian tele graphic agency prints a Bucharest dis patch which declares mediation impossi ble. A solution of the questions between Russia and Turkey must be sought for on the battle field. Diplomacy may inter vene later. The same dispatch says Gen. Todleben succeeds Gen. Zotoll'as chief-of-stafftothe Prince of Roumania, befole Plevna. RAILROAD STRIKE. The Employes Stop Work and Kill One Man 7'hey are Still Turbulent. Chicago, Octolnr 1. There has 1een a strike on the Pacitic Central Narrow Guage Railroad at the end of the line uear Circleville for three days past, Itecause oi not being paid their wages early Saturday morning. & party of 2D citizens left this city ou a special train for the scene of the disturbance, and at ilolton was joined by sheriff Williams, of Jackson county ai.d a posse of fifteen men from Leavenworth, made a part of the sheriff's po.w, and the train proceeded to the end of the line be yond Circleville. Here a large body of strikers were congregated, many on horse back, and headed by Hartman. The party was greeted with all kinds of abusive epithets. Hartman especially was very offensive in language and demonstrative in action. Capt. Tough, formerly United States Marshal for the Western District of Kansas, who had been selected as lead er of the posse commanded. Hartman's halt was answered by a pistol shot, and the posse was ordered to fire over his head which was done, and Hartman replied with two shots from his revolver. The posse then, under directions, fired upon Hartman. He died the same evening; and the train returned to Circleville, where it was met by a great crowd of strikers. A warrant was sworn out against Capt. Tough, who was arrested, but was re leased on his own recouizance. At Hoi ton the train was confronted by another body of strikers who took posses- siorrof the switch and declared that they would not let the train pass unless the posse surrendered Capt. Tough to them This was not done, and the train backed out, and subsequently the posse left the train and marched into Holton and look up quarters in the hotel, which was soon surrounded by armed strikers, who find ing that the posse was well prepared, did not attack the house. Capt. Tough wa again arrested and released on $10,000 bail. Cassiua M. Clay Kills a Desperate Negro .Cincinnati, Oct. 1. Hon. Cassius M Clay, yesterday morniug shot and instant ly killed a negro named Perry White Gen. Clay had employed White's mother as cook, but finding that she bad been robbing him of silver plate and other arti cles, had discharged her. Yesterday mor ning he started from his farm, 6ix miles from Richmond, Ky., to visit a negro church m the neighborhood, for the pur pose ot hiring another servant. While on the way he perceived a loose horse in a pasture near the road-side, and the ne gro, Perry White, endeavoring to conceal himself behind the animal. White had threatened Clay's life and was known as a desperate character, and upon perceiving him Clay immediately leaped down; con fronted the negro and ordered him to throw up -his hands. The negro obeyed, and Clay talked to him roughly and order ed him tP leave the place, and telling him that if he moved from his position until he (Clay) was remounted, he would kill him. As soon as Clay started for his horse the negro rushed after him, but Clay turn ed suddenly, fired twice, hitting the negro in the neck and breast. Gen. Clay then rode to town and delivered himself to the authorities. . The feeling of the communi ty is entirely with Clay. White had the reputation of being a bully and a danger ous man. Later a jury of inquest decided that the killing was in self-defence. Washington, Oct. 1. The present staff of the National Republican embraces Mes srs. A. M. Clapp, editor-in-chief, N.

Extracts: "We cannot consent, by si lence on that point, that our attitude to ward the present national administration shall be misunderstood or misrepresented. Having devoted our best abilities and ef forts to secure the election of Gen. Ruth erford B.

To take any other course would, in our judgement, be inconsitsant with political good faith and render us re miss in duty. To expect more or less of us now would be to impugn our political integrity and question our good sense. As Republicans we shall favor and advocate all public improvements by which enter State commerce may be promoted aud strengthened, aud the resources of the en tire nation may be developed into wide spread prosperity. We shall not contend for a tariff for protection, but for revenue. We are iu favor of remonetizing silver and making it a legal tender of equal value with gold for debts due the government and the people. We shall advocate the issue of greenbacks, backed by the national faith, to an amount equal to the wants of business and trade, aud which shall be received the same as gold and silver for all d ies the government and individuals."

The Indian council closed to-day, the government insisting that the Indians move to the Missouri river, where their supplies will be next spring. They are promised permission to move to the pos sessions they have selected. Silver Senator Sharon, of Nevada, writes that he will not be able to attend the ex tra session on account of private business. One Republican vote lost. Mortou, of Indiana, Republican, and Dennis, of Marylaud, Democrat, will be absent on account of sickness. Probabili ties arc that the Republicans will have three majority, counting Conover and Spencer with them. The Senate will be very close. Life and health insurance agents are of the opinion that the proba bilities are in favor of a Democratic ma jority on the first roll call. A full attendance of the Senate, with every Senator faithful to his party, the roll call will show forty Republicans aud thirty-three Democrats. There are three vacancies ; oue from South Carolina and two from Louisiana. IIostox, Oct. 2. The workingmen's convention nominated Wendell Phillips for Governor, and a full State ticket.

During the past few years the country has gone through a season of "bard times," such as has seldom visited this country. From many indications, however, we can reasonably hope that the worst is over, aud that not only will the times not be come more oppressive, but are already improving, aud we may reasonably look for an increase to our prosperity, at least so far as-the South and West are con cerned.

The MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN CO. have the honor to announce that the organ of their manufacture have been unanimoiisl v assigned "the FlKtfT RANK in the SEV ERAL REQUISI fES of instruments of the class" bv the Judges at the CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION at-Philadelphia, 1876, and are the ONLY INSTUMENTS OF THIS GEN ERAL CLASS AWARDED THIS RANK. This is after the severest competition by the best makers, before one of the most competent juries ever assembled. They have also received the MEDAL, but, as is well known, medals of equal merit have been awarded all articles deemed worthy oi recognition ; so that it will be easy for many makers to advertise that they have received "first medals." The differences in competing articles, and their comparative excellence, are recognized in the Reports of the Judges, from which the following is an extract: "THE MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN CO.

Signrd by all the Judges.)
