Howard (oh! oh!) is to do the fight-
The howls of the bull-dozers are

a way of speaking the truth that is
very painful to "those who love a lie.
Howard is evidently a great cap

Secretary Sherman's visit to ;New
York continues to attract attention.
A Washington special to the Balti
more Sun say i:
"The report baa been very current in the
Treasury Department to-day tbat the main
object of the Secretary's visit is to complete
negotiations with the syndicate for the dis
posal of the remaining fifty millions four
and one-half per centum bonds and to se
cure another subscription to the four per
cent. loan. 4 A very confident feeling pre
vailed in the department tbat the Secretary
would, before returning, close negotiations
so as to add fifty millions of gold to the
amount already held by tbe Treasury for
resumption purposes."
' The very intelligent New York
correspondent of tbe Philadelphia
Ledger writes' on the 10th:
"With reference to resumption, be ex
presses tbe opinion tbat before there is a
sufficient supply of silver dollars in this
country to make the gold value or tbe 412
grain tbe practical par for all coin obliga
tions, which supply, be .says, can. hardly
be obtained inside of three years, tbe peo
ple will demand such a revision of tbe laws
as will leave gold and gold paper tbe only
money of account. As to resumption, be
speaks 'of "It and of tbe maintenance of it

An important meeting Ss to be held

development of that' great section

was married to Lieutenant Fremont,?
son of Gen. John C. and Jesse Fre-j
mont,' in New York city, 'and imme
diately sailed for Europe. The Lieu
tenant is on board ' bis own ship, and '
will meet his handsome bride in Paris.
This is the account that appears in
the Frankfort, (Ky.) Yeoman. It is
cprroborated by the Louisville Argus
and National Industrial .
The Washington Post spoils this
nice story. It was Miss Sallie An
derson who married young Fremont.
Her father is & civil engineer. : They
were married last October.
Tu Bud ofibe Cabarrus Bnocb Arden
ChaTlotte Observer.l "
It will be remembered jthat some
time ago the Observer told the story
of an Enoch Arden case in Cabarrus.
A Miss Dodson had married a Mr.
Earnhardt, and after awhile he left.
In the coarse of: time she j was mar
ried to a Mr Misenheimer, and years
afterwards Mr. -Earnhardt returned
to find his wife surrounded by a fami
ly of children not his own. Unlike
the historic Arden, he did j not, after
looking in i through the open
window y upon the? i happy scene,
wipe a tear from :; his J sun
burnt face and refuse to I disturb it,
but he wanted to claim his own. The
wife which was formerlyj his asked
for a divorce from him, and at the
last term of Cabarrus court, just
closed, the case was heard and the
divorce granted. Mr. .Misenheinier
then, very properly, took steps to
have the "legitimacy of bis children
established, and next Monday he will
be remarried to the woman of whose
joys and sorrows he has for the last
half 'dozen years been ra faithful
sharer. . i

official certificate of good character
and truthfulness to Eliza from a Re

the whole case by declaring that
Eliza "was a simple minded child of

her last statement was characterized
