Special to Richmond Dispatch. Hie 1'olitlciaiis Pauled. Washington, May 26. The Morton letter puzzles the poll tieiana. Some of them interpret it as a sort of warning to Mr. Hayes to "lot up" on hi. Southern policy, and they prophesy that he will "let np" before the summer is over. Others understand it as an endorsement of the policy as the best thing that could be done under the circum stances, and that he seeks to encou rage Republicans to hold together, whatever minor differences of opin ion may oxist between them and the President. Southern men are not aorxyi that Morton has shown his hand so soon, for they say onr people will now know that the gloved hand extended to them by the Administra tion is not what it Beems. The false hoods he utters in relation to the Southern people will tend to revive bitter feelings against the Republi can party and consolidate the De mocracy. NORTH-CAROLINIANS IN WASHINGTON. Col. J. N. Staples and ex-Congressman Leach, both of North Carolina, have been in this city a week or ten days looking after theyinterests of certain clients tobacco manufac turers, who have gotten into trouble with the Government. These gen tlemen complain that they are wrongfully represented in a North ern newspaper as heading a move ment for the organization of a new political party in North Carolina. They say they did call on the Presi dent recently, but it was only to pay their respects. They approve of the President's course towards the South, but do uot advise nor desire to lead a movement for a new party organization. Wbni ien. Leach Said to Hayes. Washington, May 27. Mr. Leach has no idea of leaving the Democratic party. He told the President that he approved his South ern policy, but expected to oppose him on other issues. These gentle men sav there is no division or break in the Democratic party in North Carolina. I m What Macraahon says. Paris, May 26. President MacMahon, speaking of the Compiegne in the Department of the Oise to-day, said that the recent changes of Cahinet officers only as sures the stability of the interior and the peace of the exterior of France. He will not mix with outside politics. Ne of the . AeaBln will he Pun labed. Memphis, May 25. The Avalanche, to-morrow,, will contain a lengthy interview with Gov. Stone, of Mississippi, in relation to the Kemper county massacre, in which the Governor states that he has done t.ll in his nower to brinct the guilt? ones to trial by requesting Judge Uanom, circuit gauge, to can an extra session of his court for that pur pose, and that under the laws of the State the Executive has no power to Ho anvthincr in the matter. He had oone to DeKalb as soon as he beard of the riot, but when he arrived the rioters had dispersed, and nothing was left for him to do except to go and see Judge Hanom and ask the judicial officers to take steps to bring tiiem to trial. The Governor thought it exceedingly doubtful if a jury in KVmnpr conntv would convict the rioters, all of whom were well known and reside there. Pre V t VOL. XX.---NO. 58. A. Wedding that Didn't come Off. Raleigh Observer. Thne Wednesday, 23d inst. ; place -Goldsboro. But in this as in many other cases, there was a "slip between the cup and the lip." It seems that one John G. Godfrey wooed and won the hand and heart of a young maiden, sixteen years of age, of the above named town. The en gagement lasted for some time, and last Wednesday night. was the time when two hearts were to beat as one. The family with whom the young lady resided prepared a handsome supper, the friends of the bride had arrived to witness the ceremony, the minister was on hand, the bride bad adorned herself with her wedding garments, "all things were ready" for the consummation of the nuptials, ex cept the bridegroom, he didn't come worth a cent; an hour passes, the ex citement is intense; the spell is broken; the announcement, the bridegroom cometb, brings the expectant crowd to the front, but the Lothair hath not on his wedding duds, which increases the excitement; he seeks the bride, and with tears in his eyes, informed her that he is a married man already, and cannot marry her; he had not lived with her for seven years and was under the impression that that length of time constituted a divorce, but on consulting a lawyer was in formed that it did not. The indig nant young lady took off the engage ment ring which he had given her, threw it in his face, told him to git, and, seizing a broomstick, by a few well directed blows caused the scamp to beat a hasty retreat. Served him right. Ordinations at the Cathedral. Bishop Gibbons, of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Richmond, Va., acting Archbishop of Baltimore, yes terday morning, in the Cathedral, conferred degrees m Holy Orders on about forty students who have been studying for the priesthood at the Seminary of Sulpice.

Raleigh Observer : Jude Sey mour seems to make a good impression wherever he goes, lie dispatches business rapidly, and his rulings on points of law show him to be a Judge of considerable ability.

Much that was planted has rotted, and where a stand is up looks sickly. News : Since the first of the current month about 60 drummers' license have been issued from the State Treasury. This is largely in excess of the usual num ber, and indicates a stricter enforcement of the law than usual. - The Charlotte Democrat says James Patton Wilson, a native of Charlotte, when seventeen years of age, twenty-three years ago, killed Nat Clayland. in Char lotte.

Mr. Richardson, of Mur- f reesboro, spliced them on the cars. But we are "jubus, Woodson, about that "thirty miles an hour." A correspondent of the Weldon News writing from Northampton county says: We don I nave much crime since the prohibition of the sale of liquor. I think it would be a good law to prohibit the sale of liquor everywhere in the State; think there would be less crime and more energy everywhere in the country. Raleigh Observer: Twenty-one convicts arrived at the penitentiary yester day. The sheriff of Jackson brought a re ceipt for one delivered at the head of the Western North Carolina Railroad. Sheriff Nowell, of Wake, sent over nine as the first instalment of Judge Strong's contribution, and the sheriff of Forsyth brought in eleven. Verily the railroad work goes bravely on.

Only twelve miles are to be laid to effect a junction of the Raleigh & Augusta road with the Carolina Central, and we judge that the work of filling this gap will be begun at once. Raleigh Observer : There is on exhibition at the rooms of the Department of agriculture a specimen of orchard grass, six feet in height, taken from the farm of Dr. G. W. Blacknall, near this city. Tne orchard grass is said to be by all the farm ing books the very nest xorage tor animals that is grown, and to the farmer decidedly the most profitable crop he can raise, pro vided the soil and climate is ail right for its production. R. W. B., in Raleigh Observer The regular Tuesday evening horse swap ping is ene of the amusing features of Kenansville court. There is a large pine grove, just in the edge of the town, running through this is a ditch; tne swapping stock is formed into a line, and at the signal for starting, a dash is made for the ditch. Every horse or mule which jumps the ditch is ruled out. The scene that then follows completely lays Cedar Hill, at Louisburg, in the shade. - Raleigh News: It will be a little surprising to most men to know that North Carolina actually has a sewing ma chine factory ; that it has been in success ful operation for twenty years; that the machines are as good if not better than those of Northern make, and find such ready sale that the manufacturers are un able to exceed the demand. Yet such is the fact. The factory to which we allude is located at Shelby, and the machine is known as the "Carolina Sewing Machine." Granville Echo: Mr. H. H. Smith is an enterprising citizen a pioneer in fruit culture from Canada and is engaged ex tensively in the business. He has on his farm about 20,000 grape vines, 5,000 peach trees, 1,500 apple trees, 1,500 standard pear trees, and 1,200 cherry trees, which, under his careful and scientific management, must eventually prove to be a lucrative employ ment. Canadians enter largely into the population of Granville, and as an ener getic, industrious, and mind-their-own-busi-ness sort of people, they are a decided suc cess, and a valuablejacquisition to the pros perity, growth, and wealth of any community.

Slight change in pressure or temperature, northeast to southeast winds, partly cloudy and cloudy weather, with rain areas, are the indications for this sec tion to-day. The Weldon News says the au thorities of the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad have introduced air brakes on some of their trains. These will in a short time entirely supplant the old hand brake. TJudergrouud Discoveries on middle Sound. We learn that A. R. Black, Esq., has re cently made some rather remarkable dis coveries at his place on Middle Sound. Just east of his residence there is what was once an old field, but which, perhaps, has not been under cultivation for the last cen tury or two. Some of his men had been digging in this field, when a few human bones were unearthed. This fact aroused Mr. Black's curiosity and caused him to prosecute his investigations, which finally resulted in his discovering two trenches about one hundred and fifty or two hun dred yards apart, literally filled with hu man bones, their position and appearance suggesting the idea that a battle had once been fought there and that these trenches contained the dead which bad fallen on both sides. As there is no mention in history of any battle ever having been fought in that locality, it is difficult to come to any satisfactory con clusion in regard to the matter, and in fact the bones, though undoubtedly human, do not present the appearance of having be longed to the Anglo-Saxon race. The fact of the remains being found mingled to gether within sUCh narrow confines forbids the supposition that they are the contents of any ordinary grave-yard. In this connection we would mention the fact, which has come to our knowledge through one of the old settlers in that neighborhood, that many years ago the skeletons of a man and horse, apparently just as they bad fallen upon the field, were dug up in this same locality. Keeping Her Hand In. The " irrepressible" Annie J. Speight, after several weeks of rest and silence in the county jail, has come to the surface again, and evinced her determination to keep up her notoriety even in defiance of prison bars. Her husband got a special permit from Sheriff Manning, yesterday, to have a few minutes conversation with Annie, in relation to their children, through the iron grating of the door at the entrance to the prison. They had concluded their inter view, and the husband was about to retire, when Annie asked him to lend her fifty cents. He took out his pocket book, with the view of letting her have the amount, when the "irrepressible," watching her op portunity, slipped one of her hands sud denly between the bars and snatched the entire sum her husband had in his hand, amounting, he says, to about forty dollars He could not get to her and consequently had to content himself with making com plaint to the Sheriff, who informed him that the case could not be made one of larceny, as the woman was his wife. If search should now be made for the money there would likely be much difficulty in discover ing its whereabouts, as the " irrepressible" is fertile in inventions and resources to meet all such emergencies. ' , . m m 1 he Meat Robbery We find that there was a slight error in our statement of the evidence of Officer Sterling in the case of Edward Joyner, as published in our last. Sterling says it was Tom King, the watchman, who approached him the morning after the robbery, and, after inquiring where Joyner lived, re marked to him (Sterling) that if he could get word to Joyner that if be would swear he got the meat from a colored man he (King) had left in his place as watchman while he was gone to a meeting on Friday night, it would be all right. Sterling im me diately reported this conversation to Mer rick, the butcher, who Jhad lost the meat, which led to King's arrest for complicity in the robbery. Committed for Trial. Hedrick Jones, colored, who by the way is quite a young stripling, was arraigned before Justice Gardner, yesterday morning, on the charge of stealing deer bides, cloth ing, &c., from Messrs. Gillican & Watson, He brought forward no defence and was ordered to give a justified bond in the sum of $200 for his appearance at the Criminal Court next week, in default of which he was committed to jail. moonlight Excursion. The steamer North Slate took a party of ladies and gentlemen down the river last evening, starting about a quarter to 6 o'clock, with the view of giving them an excursion by moonlight. The Cornet Con. cert Club was along to furnish the music for the occasion. It was doubtless a, de lightful trip. Star. MAY 29. 1877. Decoration Bar Hay 30tb, 18TT PROGRAMME.

Nathan Davis, colored, was before Jus tice Gardner, yesterday, on the charge of perjury, a crime that is becoming much too frequent hereof late in our magistrates' courts. It seems that one Peter Pickett was arraigned before Justice Gardner some months since for appropriating an ox that bad been placed in the possession of Na than Davis by Mr. John C. Borneman. Da vis was put on the sUnd, and swore that he had seen nothing of the ox from the Friday night previous up to the day of the trial or preliminary examination, which was on Tuesday, the animal having disappeared in the meantime. Subsequently, when the matter was brought to the attention of the grand jury, he stated that he had himself placed the ox in Pickett's possession. De fendant was ordered to give bond in the sum of $200, justified, for his appearance at the Criminal Court. The Private Watchman Takes a Berth with the. Policeman. The case of Tom King, the private watch man at the market house, implicated in the robbery of meat from Samuel Merrick, tbe colored butcher, alluded to in our last, came up before Justice Gardner yesterday and he was ordered to give a justified bond in the sum of $200 for his appearance at the next term of the Criminal Court, in default of which he was remanded to jail. Sing was tried at a late term of the Superior Court on the charge of stealing corn from Mr. Nobles, near this city, but was acquit ted, though an alleged confederate in the transaction was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary. The Whltta Rifles. The absence of tbe Whiting Rifles from participation in the anniversary celebra tion on the 21st was generally regretted, and as it was then understood that their not being uniformed was due to the want of the necessary funds to fully uniform and equip tbe members, it has been suggested that the ladies of Wilmington follow the example of those in Newbern, Tarboro and other places, who, by festivals, socia bles, and other like entertainments, have succeeded in raising the amount requisite for the complete equipment of their citizen soldiery. Early Cloning. At a meeting of the Board of Trade, held yesterday, it was resolved by the members that they would close their places of busi ness every afternoon (except Saturdays) at 7 o'clock, commencing on Friday, the 1st of June, the arrangement to continue in ope ration until the 15th of September. It was also resolved to request other mer chants, not members of tbe Board, to co operate with them in this movement, which has been usual during the summer season. Accident on the River, The yacht Annie Brewer, belonging to Mr. Robert Taylor, while out sailing on the Cape Fear yesterday afternoon, and when about opposite Mr. C. W. McClammy's distillery, was struck by a sudden flaw of wind, which carried away her mast, and came near capsizing the boat, in which several young gentlemen were passengers. She put in ashore and was subsequently towed to Messrs. Cassidey & Ross' shipyard, where the damage will be repairec. Delegates to the Colored Convention.

New xorkEvening Post, May 33 TO AIX, PARTICULARLY INVALIDS, spring is a trying season. Indications of sickness should at once he attended to. Fatal diseases muy be caused by allowing the bowels to become constipated and the system to remain in a disordered condition, un til the disorderhas time to develop itself. An ounce of prevention is wertb a pound of cure, is an old and truthful saying. Therefore, we advise all who are troubled with the complaints now very preva lentheadache, indigestion, disordered liver, want of appetite, nausea, or feverish skin, to take, with out delay, 8cbenck's Mandrake .Pills . We know of no remedy so harmless and decisive in its action It at once strikes at the root of the disease and pro duces a healthy tone to the system. People never need suffer from any disease arising from a disor dered condition of the liver if they would take this excellent medicine when they feel the first indica tions of the malady. Families leaving home for the summer months should take three or four boxes of these pills with them. They have an almost inetaa taneous effect. They will relieve the patient of headache In one or two hoars, and will rapidly cleanse the liver of surrounding bile, and will effec tually prevent a billions attack. They are sold by all druggists.
