informs us that the slightest intimation in
our paper that Dr. M. O. Wilcox, the In
dependent Democrat elect from Ashe was
a Republican and tbathewould act with that
party in the coming Convention, would be
a gross insult to the political character and
record of that gentleman. Our informant
was present in the county during the can

as a Democrat by a number of the most
ultra Democrats and Convention men in
that county, all of whom believed, in fact
knew, that Dr. Wrlcox would act with his
party on all measures of a party character

From Mr. P. B. Satterwhite, of Beaufort,

The particulars of the career of the
"Wanderer" in Knoxville, Tenn., and his
final flight from that city after receiving a
coat of tar and feathers, as mentioned in
our last, are thus given in the Press and
Herald of that city of the date of Aug 17th :
The Press and Herald, Sunday morning,
created quite a sensation in the city. At
first the wonder was that we should devote
our entire first page, on such a day, to a
history of the exploits of a clerical Jeremy
Diddler in whom Knoxville had no interest
and who had no interest in Knoxville. It
Was not long, however, before squads of
morning readers began to gather on the
street corners and compare opinions.
Each one seemed relieved that each other
had come to the same conclusion with him
self, and all concurred in the decision that
the hero of the life-romance was none other
than an obtrusive lawyer and gushing
preacher established in our city under the
name of L. F. Copeland. Throughout the
day, the interest increased and we fear Sun
day's Press and Herald seriously disturbed
the continuity of the moral reflections of
many Knoxville church-goers For" this,
we plead in extenuation the good moral and
social results of the publication.
To show that the readers of the Press aud
Herald were not mistaken in the identity of
the personages, it becomes us to offer a few
facts touching the individual, which may
be compared with the facts given in the
Baltimore Gazette article, which is repro
duced on our third page. This we proceed
to do.
,THK IIEItO OF "FIFTEEN ALIASES,"
who figured as W. E. Copeland, at Mil
waukee; as Ware, at St. Louis; as Ilorton,
at Canton ; as Simmons, at Memphis; as C.
W. Warren, at Wilmington; as W. E. Cbpe
lnd, at Baltimore; and as such other per
sons as suited him at other places, for some
reason or other, selected Knoxville as the
field of his summer operations. So, on the
29th of May, last, he made his appearance
in this city as Rev. L. F. Copeland. On
the train, he had met with Rev. Mr. Man
ker, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and
Presiding Elder of this District, to whom,'
after finding out to what church Mr. Manker
belonged, he showed, besides other vouch
ers, his license as a localpreacher of the
M. E. Church, signed by Rev. Dr. Hibbard,
of the Syracuse (N. Y.) District. Having
ingratiated himself into Mr. Manker's con
fidence, the latter, upon their arrival in the
city, introduced him to Mr. Daniel Lee, a
very respectable merchant of the city and
member or the JVl. E. Unurcu, to whose
house Copeland went to board. Having
fully taken in the situation, Copeland con
cluded that for the sake of the appearance
of business, it would be just the thing to
become a lawyer. . Accordingly, at the last
June term of our Circuit Court, he applied
for
ADMISSION TQ THE BAR,
was examined by a committee of lawyers,
and admitted to'lhe roll. He procured a
place in one of the offices at the Court
House and nuns out bis sign as "Li. ir.
Copeland, attorney atlaw." Business did
not come upon him lihe an avalanche, nor,
indeed, did he seem to care much. For he
still seemed to bear in mind that it was not
alone his duty to save the innocent from
temporal punishment, but to "call sinners
to repentance." It was but an easy thing
for him to combine worldly with sacred
duties. So, having shown his license and,
church letter (from the church at East
Marion, N. Y.,) to Rev. Mr. Goldman, pas
tor of the Ulinch Street M. IS. Church, be
was, of course, admitted to the privileges
of the church. On Sunday, June 20th, on
invitation of Mr. Goldman, he filled bis
pulpit, morning and evening, preaching
wan sometmng ox nis canton eloquence
and to the great satisfaction of the congre
gation, who accepted him, of course, as
worthy of the calling he protessea. These
performances, of course, gave him only a
partial introduction to our citizens. It was
necessary that an our people snouia De-
come acquainted with so valuable an ac
quisition to professional and ministerial
circles. Therefore our local papers of
June 22d(contained the following unique
and attractive notice:

Thus matters stood Saturday evening, and
he had reason to exclaim then, "Now, by

But alas for human expectations! Sun
day's Press and Herald uncovered the lm
poster and set the community to noting and
comparing facts that had previously attract
ed but little attention. Our pursuit of facts
resulted in the following, among other dis
coveries: "
We found that soon after coming here
Copeland, having taken a box at the post-
office, notified the clerk to put all mail mat
ter addressed to " C. W. Warren" in his
(C.'s) box, since Mr. Warren was one of his
clients. In this connection, a few days since,
Judge Andrews, U. S. District Attorney, re
ceived the following letter:
Geneva, N. Y., Aug. 9, 1875.
lo U. S: District Attorney :
Dear Sir: Will you please inform me
whether Mr. C. W. Warren is in Knoxville
at present. TTe wrote me some time ago
saying his office of business was in with
yours. If you will answer you will confer
a kindness upon me. Please answer imme
diately and oblige : ; . U
Yours, very respect fully.
Miss M. D k,
Box 55, Geneva, N. Y.
P. S. He has received his mail in care of
Box 274.
Judge Andrews knowing no such man as
"C. VV. Warren," so informed the lady.
The explanation of this matter is that
Copeland has been occupying an office
jointly with Mr. J, C. J. Williams, the
fetate District Attorney, (upon whom he
had imposed himself as a gentleman), and
the lady who . is probably one of C's.
dupes erroneously assumed that it was
a United States Dietrict Attoney's, as we
believe they are commonly called in New
York. Hence Judge Andrews got the let
ter instead of Mr. Williams, who would
have been as much pCizzled.as Judge A, to
know who C. W. Warren was. that had
been occupying his office. Upon inquiring
at the post office, we learn that box 274 -be
longs to L. F. Copeland. This matter
alone would be sufficient to fix the identity
of our "L. F. Copeland" and the "W. E.
Copeland" described by the Baltimore Ga
zette. Besides, the personal description
furnished by the Milwaukee Chief of Po
lice is an accurate description of the Knox
ville Copeland. So brief a description was
never more marked.
During yesterday, we believe we heard
of but one person who had any doubts on
the question of identity. Copeland himself
denies and, we understand, says the Balti
more article refers to a brother of his, but
unfortunately for him, in his previous con
versations, he had told that his brother died
several years ago. He denies having been
at the Baltimore Sunday School Conven
tion, yet there-is a gentleman of the highest
respectability and intelligence now in the
city who remembers well to have met him
there. He denies having been at Canton,
Miss., yet a gentleman and lady, now in
the city, remember well to have heard him
preach at Canton, under the name of Mor
ton. . They have identified him since Sun
day's publication. He denies having been at
Wilmington, yet there is a gentleman now
in the city who heard him preach in Wil
mington as C. W. Warren.
During Sunday Copeland undertook to
"brazen out" the matter. But yesterday
morning his crest fell He wandered ner
vously about the streets as if conscious that
his friends, whom he had deceived, had
abandoned him. But for the consciousness
that he has been and still is playing the
part of a consummate villain, we could
have pitied him. - At an early hour in the
day he approached his landlord (Mr. Lee)
and said, "I presume you wish me to leave
your house." "Yes, sir, I do." was the de- i
jcisive reply. After his baggage had been
removed it was uiscovereu. uiai ne naa
burned a lot of his papers. There was
found in his room a linen collar marked
"C. W. Warren" thus adding another and
clinching fact upoa the question of identity, j
Copeland's financial operations money
doesn't seem to be bis main point appear
to have been light, Two or - three gentle
men, we believe, had been induced to in
dorse for him for small amounts, but we
care to say nothing about such, matters,
since we understand the parties have se
cured personal effects to make them whole.
Very many excellent people have been de
ceived by this adroit rascal, and it is credit
able to them that their adherence to bun
did not outlive the deception. So base an
imposter so cunning and calculating a
villain deserves to be exposed, and to. be
kicked out of every respectable community.
He is a prowling curse, carrying ruin in his j
train. In the light of his history as given
by the Baltimore Gazette and his attempted
achievement in this city, we may safely
infer that be has blighted many a heart and
carried woe into hundreds of households.
We know not at this writing what has be
come of him, but we presume that before
the morning dawns he will have j
"Folded his tent like the Arab
And as silently stole away."
P. S. Since writing the foregoing, we
learn that as Copeland was making his way
toward the depot, at about 11 o'clock, he
was met by a number of persons who did
not present him with a gold-headed cane,
but ornamented bim with a coat of tar and
feathers in token of their appreciation of
his character. We do not approve such
compliments. They are notalways manly.
But this is a case over which we will shed
fewer tears than any one of the kind we
ever heard of.
Having divested himself, as far as possi
ble, of bis new suit, the Rev. L. F. Cope
land departed at 2:30 o'clock on the Eastern
train. . . - . - --. - Wl :
Robberies.
We learn that one : night recently six
houses in the city were entered and robbed,
and that t one . bouse has been visited by
thieves on two successive nights.' , We again
call the attention of citizens to the expedi
ency of having their fire-arms well charged
and at hand ready for emergencies. A
few deaths in the fraternity of burglars
would have a very healthy general effect

The Rlrer.
, The latest arrivals report the river falling
at Fayetteville, but rising beyond that point
under the influence of heavy rains in the
Deep River section. What effect the new
freshet will have remains to be seen, but up
to this time, we are glad to learn, the dam
age to erops in the vicinity of the river has
been so slight as to be hardly worth men
tioning. .
The Public Schools.
The various public schools of the Town
ship of Wilmington will be open about the
1st of October. Committeeman : A. M.
Morris is to have the general supervision of
the schools attended by; white children,
Committeeman J. E. Sampson of the col
ored schools north- of Market street and
Committeeman Alfred Howe of the colored
schools south of Market street. In this
connection we will add that applications for
situations as teachers, as per order -of. the
Committee, will be received from this date,
further particulars in relation to which can
be found in an advertisement of Mr. Morris,
Chairman of the Committee,' in this issue.

We note a few early arrivals of new crop
cats. During the spring months the stock
of old In sight was decimated by hot water
thrown by long-suffering cooks and plun
dered matrons. As the season advanced
the small boy, freed from the restraints of
school, occasionally carried one with large
stone attached to the convenient. well or
river. The hot nights of July, when sleep
ing was difficult and the bright moons offer
ed strong inducements to operate, saw the
visible -stock much reduced by bricks drop
ped from upper windows, andjwhen, early in
the current month, dealers in pelts had be
gun to let down baited hooks, a minimum
was reached where old in first hands were
firmly held. As fall approaches, the new
crop now almost mature begins to have a
noticeable effect As, from the increase,
forage gradually becomes scarcer, holders
are unable to keep stock within bounds,
and as a result, some is forced upon the
market, with few takers.. Some persons
who have given attention to the matter
during the dull season now turn their activi
ties into more lucrative channels and the
Commencement of the schools will draw off
a large force of operators, tending greatly
to the increase of stock. We have no sta
tistics from the Agricultural Bureau, but
think it safe to estimate that there is likely
to be about 602 per cent of a full crop,-of
which 600 per cent, will be predatory.
Already, when our reporter goes home in
the early morning, he begins to find a troop
of cats promenading the piazza to the tune
of the " Mulligan Guard," and several cats
pirouetting on the gate-posts while waiting
to see if he don't want a few cats.
The Base Ball Match.
The game between the Old North State

yesterday afternoon as announced, resulting
in a victory for the former club. The game
