We do'not snpposo that the Char-
t. lotte- Observer onolerstanda the post-
tion of the Stab relative to the Meek
lenbarg Declaration. If not it is its
own faolt, for we have made ourselves
sufficiently explicit. It ia pleased to
iay, referring to the Stak and the
Statesville American:
'If onr contemporaries will study the
'xnatter a little more closely, they will find
ooagb of that "overwhelming testimony'
to satisfy any reasonable man.; Archbishop
Whately used Hume's argument against
tnlracles, to prove thatNapoleon Bonaparte
Hever existed, Ac" . v
That strikes ns as oooi. It uses
Ihe very illostration the Stab used
nd liands it back aa an original of
fering. We presume to say that we
liave probably "studied the matter"

I The Grant managers say he has
certainly 312 votes, with only 60
more to get to win the pote. Grant
ii being well groomed, bat he has yet
to win. The following is not alto
gether comforting to the "machine"
manipulators or to all Democrats
who favor Grant as the Republican
candidate. The Washington special
to the Richmond State of May 8th
says :
i"From New York now comes the news
that three Slate Senators and several other
leaders in the New York Grant-Instructed
delegation have publicly declared that they
will not vote for Grant There was a flut
ter among politicians yesterday when a
telegram to this effect was shown about the
Capitol, and since then it has been a com
mon topic of 'conversation. Blaine and
Sherman men are in high spirits and make
the most of it, while the third- termers say
the facts have been " exaggerated, and all
will come out right."
Captain George M. Cooley, of
Troy, New York, is forty-one years
old. He has actually saved forty-six
persons from drowning. He is indeed
a hero. Pass his name around The
following shows he is modest and
that there is a pretty romance con
nected with his marriage:
t'flia latest exploit in this direction was
the rescue last month of seven young stu
dents of the Polytechnic, whose small boat
was capsized in the river. For this gallant
deed the Captain baa iust received the sil
ver medal or the Life-Saving Benevolent
Association of this city. It was accom
panied by a check for $50, and by a liberal
sum contributed by the grateful students.
Captain Cooley, aa modest as he is brave,
was bo touched by these gifts that tears
filled his eyes, and he could hardly speak
for the lump in bu throat. A romantic in
cident in his beneficent career wjs his
rescuing from the river, while still a youth,
the-girl who afterward . became his wife."
Washburne is the Republican dark
horse. A Virginia Republican, said
to be uncommonly shrewd and know
ing, says he will be the man. The
Richmond Dispatch's correspondent
at I Washington told a Washburne
man that if Grant was not nominated
Windom would be,beoause he would
get all of Grant'e votes and his own
Stite, Wisconsin. Here was the
reply:
"This seems plausible; but let me tell
you Washburne la a candidate, and has
strong friends among Grant's delegates.
The Republican party feels as yours does
about Seymour, that be can certainly ne
elected. 'How do Grant's friends,'! asked.
'feel about Washburne'a candidacy r He
replied, 'They are beginning to appreciate
it, and are sore aooui it.
I The Democrats in one Senatorial
district in Wisconsin have declared
for Horatio Seymour. This leads the
New York Herald to say :
I "If there were anv bone that Atr. Sey-
rhour could be induced to accept the nomi
nation similar action would be taken with
great enthusiasm throughout the country.
Mr. Sevmour is the one Democrat for
Whom the whole party would give their
votes with pride and pleasure."
Mr. Seymour is no candidate,but he
has never said he would not "accept
the nomination, so there is "hope."
It is now ascertained -that the Ver
mont delegation is unanimous for
Gen. Hancock. One of the delegates
to Cincinnati, Mr. -Whitney, thus
gives his opinion :
"I will say my choice was S. J. Tilden.
I consider the union and harmony of the
Democratic party io the Empire State in
the coming campaign is to .unite on some
one that can carry the State, and that man,
I think, is Horatio Seymour."

Salisbury Democrat: Between
seven and eight tons of silver and lead were
8bippedfrom Silver Hill mine to Charlotte,
recently for assaying. The proprietors of
the Coonrod, Hill mine, Davidson county, a
few days since, struck a five-foot vein of
ore, estimated to be worth $200 per ton,
while digging a post hole preparatory to
fencing in the mine. The Cope Grist
and Stamping Mills, in this county, were
burned last Wednesday night. The fire
was discovered about 1 o'clock, and is
thought to have been of incendiary origin.
Kinston Journal: Nearly all the
losses caused by the late fire have been ad
justed. The so-called rust keeps
spreading, and is hurting the white wheat
worse than the red.- Work is rapidly
progressing upon our new court ' house,
which, when finished, will be an ornament
to the town and county. The whole build

Appropriation for New River Inju
rious Report N
Mr. J. H. Foy, of Richlands, Onslow
county, in a letter to the Editor, states that
a report is circulated to his injury, to the
effect that he opposed the appropriation of
$50,000 for New River, called for by a
memorial to Congress gotten up by citizens
of Onslow, because he offered to increase
the amount, at a meeting held in Jackson
ville on the 3rd inst., to $100,000, and in
clude White Oak River and the Sound,
which was rejected. Mr. Foy desires us to
say that the report is untrue; that his name
waa attached to the memorial on the 17th
of April; that in his speech at Jacksonville,
on the 3rd inst, he publicly declared him
self heart and soul for New River, and that
he is an appointee of the Jacksonville meet,
iog to secure additional names to the
$50,000 memorial for New River, is exert
ing himself to that end, and believes that
the appropriation will be eventually secured
from Congress.

put up in square paneled, amber colored bottles,
with white label on one aide printed in black let

A, BENEFACTRESS. Just open the door for
her, and Mrs. Win slow will prove the American
Florence Nightingale of the Nursery. Of this we
are so sure that we will teach our "Susy" to say,
tery and diarrhoea. It softens the gums, reduces
inflammation, cures wind colic, and carries the in
fant safely through the teething period. It per
forms precisely what it professes to perform, every
part or it nothing less. We have never seen Mrs.
Window knew her only through the preparation
of her "Soething Syrup for Children Teething." If
we had the power we would make her, ss she is, a
physical saviour to the infant race. Sold by all
druggists. 25 cents a bottle.
