Carolina Watchman. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1878. ELECTIONS THIS YEAR. The people will le called ou this year to elect - Members to CoagTess. Members to the Legislature. A Chief.Ju6tice and two Associate Jus tices of tlie Supreme Court. - Three Superior Court Judges, ono each from the neventh, eighth and ninth judi cial districts. The Chief Justice and Associates will be nominated by the State Convention. It id believed the people of the 7th will claim the right to nominate the candidate for Judge of this district. ;- . In this particular locality JameS E, Kki(K Esq., has been spoken of as a gen tlemitn eminently well qualified forjudge of this district, and those best ' acquainted with him as a lawyer and a man, -will doubtless urge his claims'. Personally?, we believe he will do nothing himself to obtain the nomination. He belongs to the school which taught "let the office seek the man, and not the man the office;" and notwithstanding he has often seen the mexiiu violated to gratify party favor ites, and has learned by experience that there is little chance for those who stand by it, we apprehend he is too fixed in this good old doctrine to depart from it now. Yet his- frieuds have made him work, in every canvass for the last 35 years, 'and he did it gracefully, but there were al ways others more eager thau he to re ceive the offices.' If they ever expect to make amends on this score (am1 we think they ought), now is the time to do it; and it should be done handsomely, and with due regard to the unquestionable merits of the man. At the request of Hon. W. M, Kobbins, the P. O. Department has ordered .the establishment of a new Post Office at or near Dr. Luckey's to be called uViHa Prane-af and has also promised soon to put service on the newly authorized line from Rowan Mills to China Grove, through the country, via Millbridge and other points, thus better supplying mails to several populous and newspaper-reading neighborhoods of Rowan. We thank Maj. Rabbins on our own part and in Jiehalf of the citizens of Rowan, for the interest he . has shown in-, the improvement of the mail facilities of our people. These and other recent mail arrangements, though inexpensive, will greatly contribute to the convenience of the people. P. d. Maj. Robbing, with some of his colleagues, has also obtained a tri-weekly mail from Salisbury to Wadesboro, in place of the present semi-weekly. The Lantern War. It will be seen by the news reports in thispaper that it is probable the Eastern war is not yet at an end. The meanest aspect of the whole matter is the part England, Austria and other European States seem disposed to play now that Russia, at immense cost, has conquered the Turks. Without firing a gun or spending a dollar, those -States wow step forward and claim the right to control the terms of the peace arrange ment, or to share the results of Russia's , victory. The civilized world ought to protest against such a preposterous claim. England's declared neutrality was all a sham and only equalled by the per fidy of hermterfereuce after the fighting was over. State Contention. The papers begin to talk of the next State Convention, -and Raleigh, Greensboro and Salisbury have been mentioned as suitable points at which to hold it. The Raleigh JVr will not insist on its being held in that city, and it was held in Greensboro ouly four years ago. Salisbury is the best point. We have few aspirants here and not one of them indecently eager for an office. Salisbury is easily reached by Railroad both-front the East and West, and the accommodations here. equal to those at npy other point in the State. We have two excellent Hotels and a generous pub lic who will give delegates a cordial wet come. . ' A SWINDLER. Holloway rs. Haydock. We have a let er from Dr. Thos.

Debate in the Pnalih Parliament on the Supplementary Vote Fierce Debated the French Assembly Proposals of an Italian Alliance to Oppose Eusxian Ag grandizement The Peace Protocol Signed and the liar Jundeit. Loxiox, Feb. 2. In the House of Com- mous, Robt. Lane denied that the vote was necessary to strengthen the hands of the government. The. whole object in calling Parliament together had been carefully concealed. The government felt that they had isolated the country, de prived it of the power to nse its legitimate influence and resorted to the expedient of the money vote to bolster up their in fluence and -anthority.1 Mr. Bonrke, the under secretary for the foreign department, said" if he were to speak without reserve he was sure there would not be a single opponeut to the vote. Nobody could look at the map of Europe without recognizing that there was much truth in Mr. Layard's assertion that the Russian terms amounted to the destruction of Turkey's empire in Europe. It was obvious that this involved prob lems of the greatest magnitude. It rested with the decision of the House whether lasting peace should be secured or one made which would be productive of future wars. The government asked for the vote not as a-war measure, but to enable them to exert the influence of the conutry, not only on behalf of England, but of all Europe. Sir Michael Hicks Beach trusted that the great Liberal party would not be led to paralyze the arm of England at a time when it was more than ever necessary that it should be ready to maintain the honor and interests of England and the freedom of Eur ope The debate was ad journed to Monday. Versailles, Feb. 2. In the Deputies a discussion of the validity of the action of the Conservative deputy gave rise to intense excitement, M. Gambetta. and Rouher accusing each other of the it;ikii sibility of the disasters of France " Loxdox, Feb. 2. The Standard? Vien na dispatch says it is already decided that after signing the armistice, the con ference shall meet - in 'Vienna. Prince Gortschakoff has given the nature of the Russian assent thereto to the Austrian embassador. The Post announces in an official form that there is no positive intelligence of the signing of the basis of peace and arm istice. There was, however, ground to believe that the terms, would be signed to-day. St. Petersburg, Feb. 2. The corres pondent of the Times thinks the probabili ty of a speedy peace, is not increasing, asfilCes and the prolonged shouts that rent Russia insists on treating directly with the Porte, while the England and Austria resolutions amount ro intervention. The Jou) nal de St Petersburg says if Turkey, were a civilized power, caring for the interests of all her subjects, the pres ent occupation of her provinces might compel her to make peace, but as circum stances are otherwise, the conclusion of peacesjs hardly possible. . i - Loxio, Feb. 2. The Times'' Vienna special says : "What has hitherto passed between England, Austria and Prussia is only preliminary to discussing in what way the interests of Europe in the East ern question are to be takeu into cousid eration, aud in what manner the powers are to exert their legitimate influence on the settlement of the said question. Rus sia, it is true, has disclosed her readiness to discuss matters, but beyond this all is mere conjecture. Brussells, Feb. 2. The Journal de Brussells of to-day announces that it has received a dispatch from Constantinople saying that an armistice was signed ves- terday . I Loxdox, Feb. 2. A special from Paris to the Pall Mall Gazette, savs: "M Gambetta declares that any engagements made at Kezanlik, modifying the treaty of '56, are null. The Russian conditions to M. Gambetta declare that except the demand for indemnity involve flagrant violence to that treaty, the French inter ests in the East, he considers, have hard ly changed since '5(3. M. Gambetta insists that the war can only be terminated by a European congress." A Rome special to Pall Mall Gazette, says: "1 he proposal of an Italian al liance with the powers which are opposed to Russian aggrandizement, but at the same time guaranteeing the freedom of Christian nationalities is most favorably entertained here. The Pone and Cardi nal Simeoui, the pontifical secretary of statehavc agreed as to the necessity of encouraging an alliance of Italy with Eng laud, France and Austria. St Petersburg, Feb. 2. Russia has accepted Austra's proposal of a confer ence for settling European qnestious re sulting from the war. The place of the conference has not been determined upon, but it will probably be in one of the small er States. The basis of theRusslau peace conditions have been signed. Paris, Feb. 2. A telegram from Cairo announces that the Grand Vizier of Tur key has telegraphed to the; Khedive that the protocol of the armistic; are ready for signature. The Sultan telee-ranhed to the Czar accepting the peace conditions and asking the Czar to stop tljre. advance of Rq.ssi.au troops. The Czar replied that ho was abput to give. orders to that effect. London, Feb, 2. Renter's telegram says the following dispatch has been re ceived from Constantinople, January 31st, 4,30 p.. m.;- "The C?ar has telegraphed the Suljtan promising to grant an armis- tic,M - . y Sever j'asha, foreign lninWer, and one of the plenipotentiaries tejepraphed yes terday that the k Russian Grand Puke Nicholas was ready to nigntbe protocol of peace, the preliminaries to be under reserve of. ulterior negotiations.

Brooks is a youug gen tleman a little above the medium height, with blue eyes, light hair, fair complexion and high cheek bones. He ia modest in appearance, and,' while giving all the in formation in his possession respecting the wreck and all it horrors, the particulars of the terrible tragedy were narrated with downright simplicity aud evident truth. Mr. Brooks was born in Philadelphia, is 23 years of age, residing at present in Germantown, Pa., about six miles from Philadelphia, where he has a wife and child living; was married in 1875; is a bricklayer by trade, having served an ap prenticeship of four years with Messrs. Weatherstine & Kupp, his time expired iu 1875. He has lately been in the employ of George Waterhouse ; was out of em ployment when he learned that Messrs. P. and T. Collins, general railroad contrac tors of Philadelphia, were employing men to go to Brazil to work on tunnels, arches, &c., he called on them, solicited employ ment, and, satisfying them as to his abili ty as a workman, was taken on and made foreman of the gangs that started to Pern, Brazil. From this we learn that the ill-fated vessel had not gone very many miles when it was discovered that the movements of her machinery produced a general jarring which made them anxious respecting her arrival at her point of destination, when! it was learned that her seams were wid ening, and the water forcing its way into the ship, and that if she continued on her perilous voyage the combined efforts of passengers and crew could not save her from sinking forever out of existence and the precious lives of those on board from a watery grave, aud it was determined t beach her. JOY AT SIGHT OK LAND. When the news was broken to the ex cited crowds who were swarming her fat ed decks, eagerly waiting to hear the probability of their fate, loud cheers arose from that immense throng and rang out above the howl of the fearful gale that was driving them on, on to that fatal beach on which but a few short weeks before had perished the Huron's gallant crew. Land, to the Metropolises unfortunates, seemed, from the jov beaming in -their the air on the announcement of its dis covery, a panacea Tor all their present ills, aud could not have been more welcome to Columbus's yearning voyagers. Angry billows, madly surging and boiling, and breaking between them and it, to plunge into which was death to so many, s?emed to enter not into their calculation. A lea) iuto the water, a few bold strokes, aud then their feet would again press the solid earth, and wife and little ones be again clasped in their loving embrace. This hope of safety accounts for the cheers with which the poor fellows had hailed the announcement of laud, which, in their minds, was associated with safe ty. This is the third time Mr. Brooks has been wrecked. In J 36!), when quite a lad, he sailed as cabiu-bov iu the bark "Youug Curio" from Philadelphia, and wheu off the coast of Australia an accident hap pened to the vessel which rendered her j helpless; but, being almost within sight of shore, she succeeded iu reaching it without material damage to crew or bark. His second venture was in the steam ship Prcciomium, bound from Philadelphia to Hong Kong this time as a sailor be fore the mast, and it was on his return trip, having on board a cargo of teas, spi es, &c, that the vessel was driven ashore in a gale in the China sea and com pletely wrecked, the crew barely escaping with their lives. Continuing his statement, Mr. Brooks, in his own language, says: We had only three woman on board, one of whom was the wife of the chief en gineer, the other the wife of a Mr. Ilavii sion, the steward. The third one's name wasnot known. I, together with 220 laborers and a crew of 27 men, all told, left Philadelphia, about 4 p. m., on Monday, January 23, and lay in the Deleware river until i) a. m , Tues day, January 29. At the breakwater we left the pilot, and Mr. Conley, clerk to Mr. Collins, who both wished us bon Toy ago. We then proceeded to sea and all, to use his own words, was joyful. When several miles out from the break water, at about 5 o'clock p. m., the First Mate (name unknown) found the ship had sprung a leak, and the mcu were imme diately put to work throwing out coal to lighten the ship. After getting off from 50 to 75 tons, and being then unable to find the leak, Captain Ankers ordered all hands to put ou life preservers as the ship was making water very fast and putting the fires out. Ou Thursday morning about 3 o'clock all hands were called to raise sail, and the ship was headed direct ly for the light-house, we supposed to be. St. Charles light. At 7:30 p. m., about TWO HUNDRED YARDS FROM THE fcllORE THE SHIP STRUCK. Tire waves immediately commenced washing the decks from stem to stern, breaking iu the weather side. fo all stood this for about two hours, wlieu one man (a fireman) started to swim ashore also the first mate, after whom I foJloiTfd. We managed to get ashore af- ter a hard swim, landing about half a mile above the place where the ship struck; found no one on shore to afford us "any assistance. After we three men reached the shore all were so weak as to be unable to hardly move. A boat with six men put off from the ship and succeeded in reaching the shore with all aboard. All nine of ns then started up the beach, fol lowing the telegraph poles, in search of anyone to render us aid. The only living thing we saw was a cow, and he imme diately ran away. We, however, follow ed her up till we got on a saud hill, from which we saw the light-house, aud after running a mile through brush aud briers in our bare feet, with nothing on but shirt and drawers, we camo to the Currituck Light-house Club. Mr. William Jones, i one of the employees, received us aud told us to takeoff our clothes and lie would give dry ones; after doing which he immediate ly started a boy on horseback to the Light house to inform the keeper of the wreck, and to send life-saving apparatus to the scene. After getting on dry clothes we proceeded to the wreck, accompanied by Mr. Jones and four men belonging to the Life-Saviug Station, who carried ammu nition and a mortar. We followed the beach and found it cohered with bodies and iKUtions of the wreck. Upon getting opposite the ship, the T - - MORTAR WAS PLACED IX POSITION and a line was thrown over the topsail of the vessel. The under current was so strong, however, that it snapped the lines. They again fired two more lines towards the ship, but failed to hit it. These three shots exhausted all the ammunition, and the men, finding it useless to expect any help, commenced trying to swim ashore. We fourteen men on shore then formed a chain and advanced in the water to aid our unfortunate shipmates. Of the first five who tried to swim ashore we saved four. The men then commenced leaving the ship one aud two at 4 time, until 26 men were saved by us. About 12 o'clock Thursday, the ship commenced to breakiug to pieces rapidly. At that time all that was left was the hurricane deck over the saloon, with, as I could judge, one hundred and fifty men holding on the rigging. I then left the bench and went to the club-house, pick ing up a suit of clothes 0:1 the way, which I put on to save myself from unnecessary exposure, although they were very wet. I then took the boat with Mr. Jones and went over to his neighbor, Mr. N. II. Hampton, where I got my supper and staid all night. A FEW ADDITIONAL FACTS. The following memorandum of facts speaks for itself in her condemnation : The Metropolis was chartered in New York sometime in November, to run be tween Norfolk and Wilmington. She left New York December 2d and reached here 011 the 4th, over 56 hoars, in a disabled condition, arriving in Portsmouth iu tow of the Government tug Pinta, leaking badly, the water being several inches iu her engine room, and her bilge pumps constantly working to keep her afloat. Her bo.ler was out of order and had to be patched. The charter was refused as she was not considered in condition to be able to move light freight. When it was announced that, this ship had been chartered to carry the workmen to Brazil, one of our railroad officials re ceived the following telegram, Jan. .'(): "The papers of the congregation are respectfully solicited showing how those who knew the condition of the steamer felt as regards her wretched condition." The state of Mr. Brooks shows what a dead-fall the vessel was. Captain Fresh and second officer Pur- l der, and chief engineer, are among the saved from the Metropolis. Wc are glad to see that Dr. C. L. Hun ter, lias at length, presented to the pub lic the volume of Sketches of Western North Carolina, which was announced as in the course of preparation some time ago. It is a great addition to Caruthet's Life of Caldwell, Wheelers, and Footed Sketches. We hail with pleasure, all such efforts on the part of those who have leisure, and a disposition; who are in cir cumstances favorable to historical inves tigations. Who gather up and preserve the traditions and neighltorhood conver sation that remains floating on the surface of society, but over which the wave of oblivion will soon roll, and hide forever. Dr. II. has made not only a very readable, but a delightful book. With a vigorous clear style, he has shown great industry and research in collecting his materials. Descended from some of the actors in t lie scenes he describes; married into connec tion with others having lived to a good old age surrounded with localities of great historic interest and renown having at tained great proficiency in several depart ment of natural science with a taste for such enquiries, we were prepared for a rich treat, and have not been disappoint ed. It is his object to preserve and ex tend a knowledge of the character and services of men who labored and made sacrifices for thelienetit of the country iu the time of her need, and the hour of her peril. There are a few defects iu the priutiug, arising from the distance of the press from the author many minor inci dents might have been added there are many questions left unanswered but we commend the book to those interested in the history of North Carolina; and hope that the Historical Society of North Caro lina, and the Meckltmburg Historical So ciety, of which he is a member, may bring out iu due time mauy such volumes. The State Society of Wisconsin in 18ii put forth for a volume of nearly 500 pages, which as they say, "will prove a treat to the lovers of their primitive history aud this is their 7th volume. Dr. H.'s Sketches contain UT7 pages. It may be had by addressing the author at Lowesvillc, Lincoln county, N. C, aud inclosing $1.50 in orders on Charlotte, P. O.

The Ilavidson Record, well known to tUfi people of Davidson county astheir campaign paper of lH7t, is denigued to meet a public w?.ni of t!ie luislness men and of the interests of the coirttly. The time has come when almost, every i-miiity finds it indispensable to have a ' public journal of iisown to represent its inter ests in lhe various ad'iirs of business, local and general. There is no county in the State that would not be greatly benetited by a journal within its bounds-especia Uy devoted to the pro motion of the local interests of the community, Such a paper appealsTery strongly to the par tiality and pride of the section it serves; and every citizen should give it bis countenance " and support it liberally, as a means of increas ing its usefulness and extending it.s influent e at home and abroad. The stronger it becomes the more beneficial it will prove; and as t lie money required for its support is far less than tiie 'iiateiinl j;ood it doen, it is the best invest ment any county can make. The Kecord will of necessity take part in the politics of the country. If it is lhe duty of every man to keep Jiimself well informed in respect to public affairs, and to take a decided, and manly part therein, it is especially the 1 duty of the editor of a newspaper faithfully to investigate all questions of public concern, and give to his readeis the facts of the same. The undersigned pledges himself to be true in this. regard, He will not knowingly deceive his readers for the sake of party or anything' else; but by laying before them the facts, as he may enabled lo obtain them, will endeavor to aid all lo act wisely for the general good. As political mailers now stand, his personal con victions are most decidedly in accord with the views anuTfeelinps of the DerndTcratic Conserva tive party. He believes that theeflbrls of this party in 1S7G wrentdied from the grasp of tyr ants and eorniptionists in high places the civil liberty that we now enjoy. He regards, that great victory as second only to that gained by the fathers of 177-n. The danger was immi nent, the constant tendency fatal, bnt the cour age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative party pro veil itself equal to the occasion, and gloriously rescued the imperiled liberties of the people While that party Khali continue more pure and truly patriotic than any other, he intends to be fully identified with it. But the main design of The Record is toserve -the county of Davidson in all the ways it may be possible to advance her interests and. pro mote the welfareof her people. And to this end the undersigned desires such intimate re iation with her citizens as shall enable him to perform bis duty i fliciently. The paper, will he published weekly at Si a year in (nhancr,. It will be small, but neatly printed on new type; and the proprietor hopes to make up in qunliiy what may be lacking in size. The first number will appear .about the first week in January, 1S78.
