Too Much Pardon. ThePatriot is one of the newspapers in North Carolina that wishes to enter its protest against the commutation of the death sentence by Gov. Scales of Gooch and Smith for the murder of Mr rhpnrham. a. reputable merchant of Raleigh Greensboro Patriot . m .

The Cry. The cry for rain comes from many sections of the State. A week ago the cry was too much rain. Gr&nsboro Patriot. 4iThe cry is still they come" to the newspaper-man. For they do come continually and from the "woods" at that, and cry more rain or more dry its at best, always a cry. But the pros pects for a good corn crop is o. k. all the same. y Not a Compliment to Cabarrus. The Salisbury Watchman says that Rowan did not vote to make Judge Montgomery's nomination unanimous. This compliment (?) of Rowan county will be faithfully treasured by Cabarrus. If Rowan can stand it Cabarrus can. The above clipping-is, of course, from the Concord Keaister. The Watchman noted the fact that the Rowan delega tion did not vote to make Montgome ry's nomination unanimous. This was done to let the people of Rowan know that their delegation had acted in ac cord with the sentiment of the county, and for nothing else. The Watchman opposed Montgomery for Judge before his re-nomination. It had reasons for so doing, but when the party re-nominated him, his name went up to the mast-head of this paper. That should have satisfied the Heqister. The editor of that paper makes the impression that the Watchman opposed Mont gomery because he was a Cabarrus man. Nonsense !, It was the man, not his county. The lUgister Juiows this. It is not the time now to discuss the fit ness of the man, He is the nominee of the party and will be supported by the party. The Register should, in a spirit of fairness, correct the impression its squib may make among such of its readers as may not be conversant with the facts. The Mexican War Cloud, It is interesting to note the pulse of the country on the subject of war with our neighbor Mexico, large part of the American is disposed to laugh, while a A public great Texas Texas many openly declare for war. is on her ear, so to speak. has been something of a bragging, boasting State, and has often told the "greasers" what this country would do in case of an emergency, consequently they are at fever heat. The young, and the hot blooded among the older, aie or ganizing rapidly into volunteer military companies and are placing themselves at the disposal of their Governor, and not only so, but they demand that he fight. The Governor is anxiously await ing the action of the general Govern ment. He does not care to act inde pendently. In the mean time, the general-Government is acting in a prudent and eautious way. The United States does not want Mexico as an annexed State, which would most likely be the result of a war, b.ut is trying to arrive at a conclusion by the more peaceful art of diplomacy. One thing is true, and that is that the United States have demanded the release of Cutting, and another thins is true : the Mexican Government have not released Cutting, but have gone on, tried, convicted and sentenced him. He is to Dav a fine nf r - - 5 or 0 hundred dollars, and labor one year in prison. What does Uncle Sam propose to do about itr? Take a slap in the face and allow the little Latin State to trample under foot international law and violate international relatuins. to laugh to scorn the American minis try and to. defy the United States to exercise just rights toward American citizens who may get over the Mexican border. This is serious, and should the correspondence, now in progress not bring about definite results, trouble may be .expected. The objects, it is stilted, sought by this correspondence is to secure the release of Cutting and to have Mexico renounce the claim of ex tra territorial jurisdiction. . A few days more must give the result of this cor respondence, when we will know more about it. . If The question must lie over until Congress re-assembles, or the President may call an extra session, to co u cider the matter, if deemed of urgent impor- tanee. - Removal of the Revenue Office. Collector Dowd writes to a gentlemab of this place that the statement in last week's Landmark that he hud proposed tb co-operate with Congressman nenuerso to secure tne removal or me revcuuc uc nimrtnt from Newton to Salisbury, is canard, and that he "can safely say tha thprfi is not a word of trnth in it." H goes on to state that in response to a rri- I tuta Jls vr 1 Lj frmn Mr. Henderson to establish a . - . , h thcn "j (Major Dowjd) "What the Landmark said about this mat ter last week was precisely what it hadat second hand from a revenue officer, obe of 3Iajor Dowd's subordinates, who said that he had his news from Major Dowd . m a A. JA himself; una precisely tne same siaicraeui, Hnv the lAindmark was. and which con gratulated the ieople of Salisbury upon "the good news to this that town.' Col lector Dowd and his subordinate cian set tle the responsibility. It may not be amiss, however, to suggest to him tbat hereafter he label his jokes, and that be fore he writes too flippantly again about how "a lie can swell and grow when once it gets a good start," he pause and con sider who gave it its start. He can see the man who set this one a-going by look ing into any mirror. The only interest the landmark has in this mat ter is that no injustice be done any one. It therefore sees with surprise and regret the Newton Enterprise quoting it as .saying: "The newsaooui mis maiier does not come, directlyor indirectly, from Mr. Henderson," and just below this quot ing Major Powd as saying "it was a pure ly personal letter and I am astonished that Henderson should allow it to be so misrepresented." Mr. Henderson had nothing on earth to do with making this matter public, and the blame shall not be shifted on to him. Major Dowd himself gave, away to a gauger the contents of this "purely personal letter," ana tne saucer in turn save it away to the public. That is the long and the short and all of it. Statesvilte Landmark. The Watchman has no quarrel with Collector Dowd, or the Landmark, or Mr. Henderson, but it gave as a matter of news, which was of interest to our people, if true, a rumor heard from a gentleman who ought to know, to the effect that there was a chance of hav ing the office moved to this place, &c. The gentleman remarked in conversa tion with the reporter, a few days since, that "I have seen Major Dowd since I spofte to you, and he says I misunder stood him. He was relating a joke, or bit of pleasantry about the removal of the office, and that it was not at all serious," &c. This was not so under stoodand appreciated by the gentleman at the time, though it seems plain enough now. Major Dowel seems to havethe same trouble with his jokes that poor Artemns Ward had while lecturing in England.. That famous wit advertised that he would "call on the citizens of London at their resi dences, and explain any jokes in his narrative which thev may not under stand." Miij. Dowd may not be known now as a famous joker, buta few more efforts like the one described above, and its accompanying explanation will ei ther make him famous or infamous. In fact it is a "possum of immatibility" to reconcile either the joke or the necessi ty of a joke on the subject of the re moval of the revenue office. But with out any explanation from the Major, the Watchman predicts that if the change does take place, it will not stop short of Charlotte. Mr. Henderson's Nomination. The following excerpa from papers in this Congressional District show in what spirit the re-nomination of Mr Henderson is received. There are clip pings on the outside of this paper also Hon. John S. Henderson, of the 7th V VMIr U '1W11UI I . . I 1 1 1. tl M J II I Mill Ull ted by the convention unanimously. and by a rising vote, not a dissenting voice being heard in the convention. Thjs is a fully merited honor, and the democracy of his district have honored itself by this act. Asheville Citizen. Be it said to the credit of Mr. Hen derson that he deemed it his duty to re main at his post during the closing days of the session in order to assist in pre venting any advantage that might be taken because of the absence of many who have left to look after their private interest, rather than to avail himself of the opportunity of mingling with friends who hadmet to do nim honor. He has made a faithful public servant, and his re-nomination is a just reward of liis services and a tribute to his nierits. Davie Times. The Democratic Convention which assembled at Salisbury on Wednesday last, re-nominated Hon. John S. Hen derson (or Congress from the Seventh District. The nomination was made by acclamation and was unanimous. This was a high and well deserved com pliment to the alnlity and fidelity oi Mr. Henderson as a Representative in Congress. He has worked diligently and faithfully to promote the interests of the people whom he represents, and this endorsement is what he had a right to expect. The Democratic majority in the district two years ago was more than thirty-six hundred, and Mr. Hen derson re-election is as certain as any future event. Hiehorij Prens.

Ireland, August 9. Dur ing the rioting which occurred here from Saturday: "evening to an early hour thi morning, eleven persons were killed and one hundred and thirty seriously wounded.. A majority of injured persons have shot wounds. The rioting was renewed today and a fierce encounter too place between the soldiers and the mob, in which a number were wounded. A soldier at close quarters fired at a boy, Shattering his hand. Reinforcements of troops to the number of twelve hundred, nave arrived in Belfast to-day. Attempts to stop the rioting have been unsuccessful and the violence of the mob is increasing. Thirty rioters hajve been wounded. The police keep up a merciless fire upon the mob. The city, owing to the Wreck of the houses, presents a deplorable aspect. Its appearance is similar to that of Paris after the commune. It Ls feared that numerous deaths resulting from riots have taken place which will never be heard of. The hospitals are taxed to their utmost to accommodate the great numler of wounded persons in need of attention. The principal fea ture of the riot is a number of children wounded. Yesterday a bay was shot while returning from Sunday School. To-day a little girl was shot on the street and it is thought futai'y wounded She was carried away apparently life less. Train loads of troops are con stantly arriving. An incident of the disorders are as follows: Mrs. Mc Uwaine Saturday, harangued a small crowd of neighbors in regard to the riots and roundly abused the police for firing upon the people. She after wards expressed fears that she would lose her life on account of her speech. She therefore in order to avoid recogni tion put on a black dress on Sunday instead of a white which she wore Saturday. This precaution, howeyer, failed to save her. Yesterday during the progress of the riot she ran to her door to gather in some straying chil dren, a billet struck her in the head and she fell lifeless in the doorway. The aspect of affairs was so threat ening at noon to-day that the authori ties ordered all taverns in the city to be elosied until tomorrow evening. Groups of men are assembled everywhere ex citedly discussing the situation. The military, early this morning, dispped several rival mobs at the point or the bayonet. Eiotinj Renewed. TiK'.FAST, Autr. 0 iJiotiii!? was rencwod here (his morning, and ucsperate fighting between the mob and police, assisted by the military, has been going on since an early hour. The rioters ere shown no mercy, the ponce firing into tucir ranks ami remorseiessiv snooting litem as though thev were wild beasts. Large numbers have been sent to hospitals to have lieir wounds dressed. Eleven persons were killed and MJO wounded. Twelve hundred soldiers to re-enrorce those already Mere arrived to-dav. Quiet was restored after the town was under the military. Fifty rioters were judged and sentenced bv the magistrates to imprisonment for from two to six months. At 2 o'clock next morning the rioters made a desperate attack upon the police with stones. Some of the officer.- were badlv wounded : but the advantiigfowas of short duration : the niili tary came to -the assistance of the police and the mob was forced to retire. Public, sympathy in England is represented a taking sides with the rioters. Items from Immigration Department. Mr. F. Harbison, of Forest Hill, Pennsylvania, a voting man of some means, witfc E. E. Magte, traveled for two months through Western XSorth Carolina, making a thorough examina tion of farming timber and mineral lands. On the 29th of July he writes from his home requesting settlers' rates, having decided to locate permanently in North Carolina, near Highlands. Mr. M. Knowles, of LenoirvilhvPa writes that he intends to move to this State in the Fall and will jrobably set tle in Catawba county, borne or his people hsive moved to that county dur tner the present year and he thvnivs a number of his people will make orth Carolina their future home. Mr. F. W. Tiplady, formerly of Penn sylvania, has moved to Warrenton, is well pleased and will induce a number of people down. He writes for rates so as two Enclish families can move to this State, the head of one of the fam ilies is a blacksmith. W. E.

Chief of Police, G. II. Shaver, has received the following from Kindle man, dated August the 4th : On the night of the 2nd Inst, one Geo. Marly col., murdered a white man in. this community and had liefure threaten ed to do so and go to your town and join the U. S. army and when last seen was going in the direction of Salisbury.

Linney. Malone has set 1 out to capture; Republican votes and beat I Bob Johnston; Jones is very busy gather ing up the o,ouo over Alfred. Rowland; whilst Linney is taking counsel with Tyre York, another bolter and kicker, how he can best managa to defeat W. H. II. Cowles in the Eighth District. The Re- ! publican Raleigh correspondent of the New York Times telegraphs as follows of Cowles and his Radical opponent: "He is no match for Linney on the stump, and uuless the party organization is stronger than it now appears to be in the western portion of the State Cowles will he beaten. The Hon. Tyre York, coalition candidate for Governor in 1884, lives in Wilkes county, and will zealously support Lipney. The Democatic major ity is this away in Alexander, Ashe and Wilkes counties. The signs are that Linney will groW stronger as the canvass progresses, and that the opposition to the Tyranny of the caucus svstem will gather strength every day."

We have always thought that a large part of the funds that are annually expended in loreign mission work midit be profitably invested in an attempt to coax souls nearer home to repent- mee. lucre arc certain regions oi our own lair and, no further off than Pennsylvania, tor in- stancs, where the ignorance ami the wickedness of the savage prevail to an extent that woald put a South African or a riji Islander to a hea thenish blush.
