We reproduce two interesting facts

naked keel and ribs at noon, was put
together with every component; part,
external and internal, and launched
by two. o'clock. This would defy any

'pbrarieSj'iias" treated ' the Star with
nniform cpurtesy. It has not caused
us to feel that there are editors in
North Carolina who will not do jus
tice to either the motives or opinions
of those who do not hold their pre
cise views upon political questions,,
and who resort , to mean., flings and
insulting personalities bocausd they
cannot bull-doze; those who dare to
think for- themselves. We. have
borne thus far ; a great deal for the
sake of that party wo have' always
supported and vhbae flag we carry.
The Record does us injustice when it
intimates that the Stab indorses f'tho
political course" of ' Hayes."; The
Stab abominates the Republican re
cord of the President, and the? man
ner.of his election, quite as much as
its able contemporary and does not
indorse his , ".'political course" n any
further, than when he acts , constitu
tionally and honestly and justly: We
repeat," that our platform is no broad
er, as far as Hayes is concerned, than
the one laid down by that pure and
able statesman, Gov. Hendricks. ;.,
We will say to the Record that we
did not use the term "Bourbon" until
tho Stab was rebuked for its course;
nor did we make the roferonco com
plained of,-that Mr. Hayes would
probably succeed better among ex
treme Democratic papers, if ho gave
them office, than among moderate,
conservative editors, until certain
papers, whilo holding up for censure
and ridicule certain other editors who
had , taken office, ' began to point to
them as specimens of what modera
tion and liberal views inovitably lead
to. If we cannot prove this, we will
beg pardon all round. We haye not
used the term "Bourbon" sinco those
of our contemporaries, whoso good
opinion: , we- value, took umbrage.
We are' loo well t bred, we trust, to
be consciously offenairo togehtlemen,
by repeating language that is com
plained of. We gave up "Bourbon"
weeks ago, and adopted a phrase we
did not invent "Democratic Demo
crat." ' We have even given np that
latterly, as we could see no possible
good to arise to North Carolina from
a protracted controversy between
Democratic papers.' . We hav the
assurance of some of tho most emi
nent men in the State that our course
meets their approval. We could in
three weeks obtain' from prominent,
representative gentlemen in various
counties enough letters of hearty in
dorsation to fill a dozen daily Stabs.
One of the greatest men in tho, State
has recently said that the course of
the; extreme papers was such that if
persisted in would surely split the
party, and that from a large acquaint
ance with Jeading men throughout
the State he knew that such papers
did not represent the best, thoughts
of the most intelligent people, j , .. :
We hope wo may be allowed
henceforth "to devote- our time and
space to other more important3 mat
ters than to ' replying to any j criti
cisms our contemporaries may make
upon the Stab. We do not mean to
be a party to any split in - the Demo
cratic ranks. Wo mean to harmonize
as t far as , we can consistently and
conscientiously,' arid to treat others
precisely as we would be treated. We
shall t continue to discuss political
matters as we deem best, always
holding ourselves responsible before
the court of truth and conscience.

seven murders, and for whose .body $4,000
reward has been offered by an act, of the
Legislature of Texas.". His last morder in
Texas was the killing of the sheriff of C6

for years as John Swain, and.beiogelated
to the county officers, has escaped arrest.
About tweuty shots were fired in making
the arrest. Harden's companion,! named
