This waslmade in Massachusetts a
great objection to Judge Hoar for
the United States Senate. A warm
friend of the Judge in the Massachu

get it out o:' the heads of the people
that Hoar is Grant's candidate, I
should be sure of his election." , Evi
dently this gentleman and other
rfrietids sawl that the objection was
ihurtf ul, and they were asserting with

think the Jifdge, all things consider

A Stray Shot and A. Narrow Escape.
As two young gentlemen were passing the
corner of Sixth and Chesnut streets, on yes
terday morning, between 1 and 2 o'clock, a
furious dog suddenly sprang at them. Hav
ing no sticks to defend themselves with, one
of the party drew a pistol and fired at the
brute, but missed his aim. His companion
at the same moment discovered a dark ob
ject in the doorway of Mr. Sykes' meat
shop, and remarked that he believed it
was a man, saying,, " I am afraid you have
shot him." Upon investigation the object
was found to be a young man fast asleep.
The gentlemen aroused him and asked if
he was hurt. He replied that he was not.
When asked if be had heard a pistol fire, he
again answered in the negative. Being
considerably "fatigued," the party assisted
him to his feet and walked with him to the
next corner, where he left them and started
in the direction of his house, a short
distance off. It seems, however, that after
the young man was left to himself he re
turned to his old position in the doorway
of the butcher shop, from whence he was
aroused at an early hour in the morning,
when he found that he was lame, and upon
examination he discovered that a pistol ball
had passed through his boot leg and lodged
in his shin. He proceeded to a physician,
who extracted the ball, no fracture of the
bone having taken place.

TO THE CONSERVATIVE VOTERS
OF THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT.
Within a few weeks we shall be called upon to se
lect a candidate for the distinguished honor of rep
resenting the metropolitan district of North Carolina
in the National Congress. Radicalism, which the
faithful and gallant Waddell has twice unhorsed, will,
in the August election, make a prodigious effort to
recover the lost prestige of possession of the most
important Congress district of North Carolina. The
splendid victories achieved by the eloquent Waddell
first when he led the Conservative forlorn hope in
1870, and again when handi-capped by serious disad
vantages incidental to the canvass of 1873, unmistak
ably point the necessity of again entrusting to his
masterly leadership the banner of Conservatism in
the straggle of the ensuing Summer.
In a struggle of such grave importance as that con
fronting us in August, the Conservatives of North
Carolina must seek the assurance of victory under
the guidance of leaders not only of proven capacity
to lead, but of established ability to win. The Bo
mans were accustomed to entrust leadership to gen
erals who bore the prestige of success, and the epi
thet Felix accorded to successful commanders, illus
trated their belief in the attribute of good fortune as
an indispensable requisite in those seeking popular
honors. The name of Alfred M. Waddell is associated
with no defeat of Conservatism; but throughout
North Carolina it la accepted as the synonym of Con
servative triumph the assurance of Radical discom
fiture the talisman of enthusiastic patriotic endeav
or against the leagued enemies of our noble State
American military annals give no more resplendent
example of bigh resolve and noble devotion, than
that of the officer, who when asked if heceuld carry
a formidable position of the enemy, eagerly respond
ed, "I will try." 8ot with the knightly Waddell,
when with the spirit of a Rupert or a Bayard, in
1870 he obeyed the summons of his party, and in a
canvass of three weeks redeemed a district hitherto
hopelessly abandoned to Radicalism. Two years sub
sequently, by the unanimous voice of the Conserva
tives of the district, Waddell again led oir victorious
columns, and the temerity of McKay was rewarded
with a fate even more inglorious than that of the
boastful Dockery. For a third time, it is to be hoped,
we shall invoke the leadership of the invinicible
Waddell. The Spartan Band of New Hanover Con-
servatives, nnterrified by defeat, and undismayed by
the overwhelming array of local Radicalism, will rally
to the support of the victorious legions of Sampson,
Duplin, Carteret, Onslow, and Cumberland, while
Brunswick, Bladen, Harnett, and Moore will furnish
their full quotas of Conservative strength to the tri
umphant column which Waddell shall again lead
to victory.
Intelligence from all the counties of the district
leaven bo room to doubt the voice of the people: the
masses are enthusiastically for Waddell. But we
should strengthen him in his coming desperate en
counter with Radicalism by such a display of unity
as that attending his nomination two years ago. Let
the friends of Waddell organize promptly and effi
ciently, and he will begin the light sustained by the
splendid display of Conservative unanimity and en
thusiasm hitherto rewarded with such brilliaBt fruits.
Waddell responds to all the requirements of the
Jeff ersonian standard of fitness for. office: 'he is
capable; he is honest," and moreover he bears the
prestige of magnificent victory again st overwhelming
odds. For four years he has represented us at Wash
ington with infinite credit to himself and his con
stituents. Our friends at the National capital from
our own and from other States of the South, beg us
not to hesitate to return a representative accom
plished, so universally popular, and giving such rich
promise of even greater usefulness and distinction
than that which he lias already attained. Let us
mot heed the folly, that may possibly counsel the
abandonment of a representative, who'adds to emi
nent capacity the experience of four years' service.
Conservatives of the Third Congressional District,
let us make Waddell's nomination unanimous and
marcli for the third time to assured victory.
