NO JURISDICTION.
Yesterday the case of the Robeson
county contested election came np
before Judge Settle, of ibe' Supreme
Court, at Greensboro. The Judge
decided in accordance with precedents
and common sense that the Court had
no jurisdiction, that the Convention
was the sole judge of the qualification
of its members. " Hurt " is not the
word with which to describe the sen
sation this decision will produce in
Radical circles. The enemy are sore
ly, desperately wounded in the house
of their friends. They invoked the
law to do an unheard of thing, and
by the law they fall righteously.

A Burglar Awleep Deaperate Ktrns
V sle and Fluat Capture f tbe In
vader.
On last Friday morning a family residing
in this city went -on a pleasure -excursion
to one of the Sounds, leavings Ibe house in
charge of the pater fumilias, who, after get
ting through with his business for the day,
returned home, procured his supper, locked
up the house and wound his way to tbe
Lodge,, leaving a light" burning in the back
room . for. the convenience.:tf the family,
who had not yet returned from their trip.
On his return from the Lodge he entered his
piazza (which by the i way is latticed Up
very close, and is quite dark at night,) and
proceeded to inseit his key in the lock for
the purpose of. admitting himself iato the
house. But just as he was applying the
key he stepped on what appeared to be the
body of a man lying asleep in front of tbe
door. He made a desperate effort to get
his key iuto the lock, but, whether from
fright or excitement we know not, he was
utterly unable to do so; and to add to tbe
excitement, his dog in the back yard Tai
baying with all his might, as if endeavoring
t capture an accomplice. Fearing the
robber would wake up, he immediately
songht bis pistol, but - remembered that he
did not have it with him.. He then made a
lunge in his pocket for bisknife, but, alas!
that also had been left at home that morn
ing. After another desperate attempt to
get the key into the lock, his hair in the
meantime standing on end as if endeavoring
to lift his hat off his head, (and, in fact.he says
he had no idea he bad half as much hair, for
his hat felt as if it was stuffed to its utmost
capaeity.) he resolved to make a determined
effort to capture the burglar by physical
force. His foot was apparently resting on
the hip of the robber, as he imagined he
could feel his hip bone with bis foot, and
could, as he supposed, calculate pretty cor
rectly the position of his throat. Concen
trating his every energy for the fearful Strug
gle, he made a spring for the robber's throat,
and, as luck would have it, succeeded in
getting him by the neck, When the noise of
the struggle woke up the family (who had
previously returned and retired, unknown to
him,) who rushed out to find the head of the
Louse in a desperate and heroic struggle
with a bag of wet .batlting clotte, left in the
piazz i on their return from the Sound!
it anted to Uo to Jail.
A young colored man by the name of
fleiuy Graham, who was discharged from
the county jail on Tuesday, where he had
been confined for non-payment of fine and
costs in a case of assault and battery, ap
plied to Sheriff Manning and other county
officials at the Court House, j-esterday, for
an order to return to his old quarters. His
excuse was that he could get something to
eat there, but out of j iil it was a difficult
matter for him to do so. He would not be
convinced of the impropriety of being
locked upas a felon .unless he had been
convicted of some crime, and bothered the
officials not a little with his persistent de
mands. At last accounts ne was at me en
trance to the" jail begging for admittance.
Graham .is said to belong in Laurinburg,
Richmond. county, but has been about here
for some time and is considered somewhat
deficient in the "upper story."
We are told that during tbe day a pass.
ing farmer heard of the boy's despair at the
prospect of supporting himself in the great
world, and in the kindness of his heart
went to the youth and offered to give him a
home and clothing, with plenty to eat, if he
would go with him and work on his farm.
But the demoralizing seductions of the life
of luxury he had led in the Princess street
castle from which he had of late been so
rudely thrust out were to strong to be in a
moment shaken off, and be announced; his
determination to live in the hope of regaining
bis former estate rather Jtbaa engage in the
exhausting labors of - theworlaV "But,'
remonstrated a citizen who stood hy "i
should think working on a farm with plenty
to eat and wear would be better than lying
in jail." Emphatically then r replied the
youth, in a tone that would: betjtQio. gain
saying, , Well, I fon''V V:i. ,

.Toe cotton mill, one of , tle new'and im
portant enterprises which has lately beea
estabTished m our' mid&tis already, as we
are glad to learn giving abundant evidence
of its feasibility and of the foresight of those"
of our citizens who were instrumental in
pushina it' forward to completion: The
mill is now in successful - operation and its
works are considered among the est in the
entire South. At present there are only 75
looms at work, ,but we are mfprmed. that
the whole number (155) will be in operation
in the course of a month. " The problem of
utilizing native labor' has been thoroughly
solved, as the boys and girls, of which
about forty are employed at the looms alone,
are reported to be learning?' the business
very rapidly, and giving every evidence of
soon being able to cope even .with the ex-
perts who came hereto leach them.-
As an indication of the prosperous con
dition of the null this early in its career we
would mention the fact that an order has
just been received from Philadelphia for
one hundred bales of manufactured cloth,
at a cost to the "purchasers verging closely
upon $10,000. No better evidence than
this is needed to show that our cotton mill
fs now, and will continue to be, a paying
institution, while also proving an additional
benefit to the community in affording em
ployment to so many who would otherwise
be without it.' V - j

U -.a. V -V .ii ' .

We learu from a perfectly reliable source
thatou Weduesday last, the Rev. Cope
land was sojourning in Charlottsville, Va.
lie had been quietly eating bash at a
Lyuchburg hotel, when the News, of that
ciiy, casually mentioned that it was thought
Copeland was in town and the boys were
preparing to give him a dose of Knoxville
medicine. Copeland, upon reading the
item, stood not upon the order of his going,
but went at once, and brought up at Char
lottsville. We presume he is engaged in
revising his Mdot dorg" lecture with the
view of delivering it before the students of
the University of Virginia, as soon as the
session opens. In that event we shall be
somewhat curious to know concerning the
impression produced by the lecturer, and
will look with no little interest to the col
umns of the Charlottsville papers for a ref
erence thereto. Perhaps Copeland has his
auburn whiskers off, and may-be the au
burn ringlets have been dyed, or even, per
chance, be is registered as Rev. Epaphro
dilus W. Simmons. Yet his true inward
ness must shine undimmed and by it he will
be at once recognized."
Cane Found. '
L-tst June, while Gov. Vance was on his
way from Raleigh to Charlotte, the hand
some ebony cane with gold head, which
was presented to him by the Jewish youths
of, Wilmington, was stolen from the train
at Greensboro. Every effort to recover it
was fruitless, and nothing was heard of it
until Sunday morning last, when, as we
learn from the Charlotte Observer, Gov.
Vance received a letter from the Superin
tendent of Police of New York city, in
forming him that the cane was in a pawn
shop' of that city, and had been detected
by the engraving on. the head. Gov. Vance
immediately telegraphed for it, 4nd expects
its arrival in a few days. He prizes the
cane very highly, the Observer says, and is
quite elated in the prospect of its early re
covery.

satire satisfaction. I was Very exacting when or
dering the Gun, hot mast say that yon have more
than fulfilled what I required of ydo. I have ahct
several breech-leaders by first-class makfers, and
yoar gua beats them all for beauty and workman
ship. As for shooting qualities, yoar guii shoots
stronger and more even than any gun I ever shot I
have shown It to several good judges (Ipcluding
first-class gunmakers) and all agree that the action
is very strong and durable, and that the gun is one
of the best they ever saw. I have made some very
long shots with it, using only 8X . drs. ef powder,
which is all your gun requires. I have shot it at a
targat according to the rules of the Turf, Field aod
Farm trials, and the average, of S shots' at 40
yards is: Left-pattern, 169; penetration, 38:
right-pattern, 175; penetration 39; using 3)4
drs. . powder. Now I am sure such a : gun
is eeldom met with, and am very . proud to be
the owner of it Bat the real teet of your gun
is in the field there it excells all others, killing
cleaner and handsomer than any gun ever saw, as
you assured me they would. Both paper and metal
shells work splendidly. Gentlemen, I have to offer
you my very best thanks, and will recommend yotjr
