t !, LOOK ATTHEH.
Just look at the character df some
of the men. nominated or supported
for olEce by the Radical party in the
State. In the Fifth Cangress District
the candidate is William F. Hender
son, " called for short," Windy Billy.
This fellow is a regular farce in him
self, being fussy, brainless, disgust
ingly coarse and shamelessly repul
sive. He has been in more scrapes
i and gotten out , of them with less
credit than has any man of his party
in North Carolina. His own political
family secretly despise him. He has,
i ii
f. ,
r
mies in the ranks of the Kepublican
party. These men so cordially detest
the miserable nincompoop nominated
by their convention they will refuse
to vote for him even to save the
organization from going to pieces.
In the Charlotte Judicial District
the Radical candidate is the notorious
Logan who has neither the knowledge
of law necessary to make a respecta-
est pretension to an acquaintance

The whole case from the beginning
was disgusting. y?e.,do. not. know,

The following strange story has
been communicated to the Indian pa

We had left Colombo in the steam-

and were well in the bay, with our
curse lai4 for Madras, steaming over
a calm and tranquil sea. : About an
hour before sunset on the 10th of Mav
Weeaw on our starboard beam and
about two miles off a small schooner
lying becalmed. There was nothing
in her appearance or position to excite
remark, but as we came up with her
1 lazily examined, her with ray bino
cular, and then - noticed between
na, but somewhat nearer her, a long,
low swelling lying on the sea, which,
from its color and shape, I took to be
a, bank of seaweed. As I watched
the mass, hitherto at rest on the quiet
sea, was set in motion. It strack the
schooner, which visibly reeled, and
then rischted. . Immediately after.
