Correspondence of The Morning Star.
,. Fayetteville, N. C, July 10, 1874.
It was my pleasure, Mr. Editor, to hear
thecliscu'ssion'torday between the Hon. A.
M. Waddell, thegallanf standard-bearer of
the Conservative party for Congressional
honors in this district, and his opponent,
the miserable demagogue, Cot Cornelius ;
-McKay,' v';,-,.? C-V.- .
I left town this morning at .7 o'clock ' in
company with the La Fayette Cornet Band,
and about seventy-five other citizens of the
good old town of Fayetteville, all of whom
entertain for the gallant Waddell the very
highest esteem and the wannest friendship,
and are proud to hall him as their leader.
their chief and their future Congressman.
We are bound to him by ties closer and
stronger than could possibly be inspired by
any omer man m wis district,, ana we in
tend to give him cheerfully, heartily and
cordially, our entire and undivided support.
McKay led on glibly, and in One spirits,
but when he looked around him and saw
about 300 gallant Conservatives as true as
steel, it unnerved him and he quailed before
the indignant and steadfast gaze of the
white men whom he was trying to hun
bug. and the handful of negroes present

could not bolster mm up, ana nis speecn
was almost a failure. His friends admit
that he made a weak effort, and lost votes.
Silence reigned during his entire speech,
and not a cheer was given at its conclusion.
. Col. Waddell then took the stand and
was greeted with three rousing cheers, and
a salute from tne nana. . Jiis speecn. was a
crlorious vindication of his action in Con
gress, and of the principles of the party of

to the heart or every one, and they saw that

was, and is now in favor of ded righU. He

On Friday night, about 12 o'clock, officer

on the beat neat the f ootof Mulberry street,
noticed a colored man acting-in a very sos-

towards the dock and returning and he i
finally slopped in front of one of the win-j

moment he 'gave a low whistle, evidently
intended to summon a confederate. At
the same moment, however,! a white man
who keeps a small grocery in the neighbor
hood happened to approach (and the man
left the window and started towards the
new comer under the impression, it is sup
posed, that he was his "pal." Upon get

Homicide An Unfortunate Affair.
There was a pic-nic at Mullins' Depot, S.
C; on the line of the Wilmington, Colum
bia & Augusta Railroad; on Wednesday last,
which was attended by a very unfortunate
affair between two young men, resulting in
the death of one of them. It seems that in
the evening, about 9 o'clock, a young man
named Hicks, formerly of Raleigh, and a
youth by the name of M. J. Gilchrist, a son
of Dr. Daniel Gilchrist, residing on Lumber
River, between Mullins and Nichols' De
pot, had some words, but as they were pre
viously on intimate terms there was no tip-
prehension that anything serious would
grow out of the dispute. Hicks, who had
been drinking, walked into a store in front
of which they had been standing and got
another drink, after which he came out,
Walked up to Gilchrist and struck him a
severe blow, knockin g him down. In rising
the ' latter seized apiece of board, with
which he struck Hicks on the back of the
head, just below the ears, inflicting, as it
unfortunately transpired, a fatal blow, i
Hicks , subsequently walked' into ' the
store, And from thence to the house of a rel
ative with whom he was staying, where he
lingered in much agony from the effects
of the wound until Thursday about 4 P.M.,
when he breathed his last ; r
We learn that both -of the parties to the
unfortunate affair were under age, being
only about eighteen years Old. The body
of young Hicks passed ' through this city
yesterday, en rout for Raleigh.
Gilchrist, who, we learn, was thought at
first to have received the severest blow of
the two; suffered but little inconvenience.
At last accounts he was in custody awaiting
the verdict of the Coroner's jury.

; Taken altogether, the Dockery- Radical
meeting announced to take place in front
of the City Hall last evening was the most
gigantic failure of the campaign; Music,
tar barrels and fire-works were called into
requisition, but these usually ; powerful ad
juncts of . a campaign seemed to have lost
their charm; and, for the occasion, thol at
tendance' of ' Republicans was decidedly
small. : " 1 ' -'' .. ;,i ' ; ,;
. The meeting was called to order (?) about
9 o'clock, and a committee was immediate
ly appointed to wait on CoL O. H. Dockery,
late Brigadier-General of the Holden-Kirk
inilitia; and request his presence, (But
Dockory came not to denounce Civil Rights,
he came not to take issue with Frederick
Douglass, the great colored orator,, on this
leading principle of Radicalism; in short,
the great Congressional canvasser, who car
ried the county of New .'Hanover by only
440 majority, in 1870, came not at i all.
And great was the marvel thereat. ' 1
But things were kept sufficiently lively
without the presence of the gentleman from
Mangum. The meeting, in truth, was one
of the most disorderly we have ever known
held in Wilmington. , Bloody; fights, horriV
ble oath's, discordant yells and all the not
and confusion incident to a first-class Radi
cal meeting were the order of the nightj ;
Judge Cantwell commenced speaking'
about 10 o'clock, and when the Star re
porter left he was making touching ap
peals to " the party" to stand by the regular
nominees, which can by no possible con--structionbe
so arranged as to include Judge
Russell, who is no nominee at all. Blessed
are the peacemakers!
