Major Clem Dowd, the Democratic
nominee in the Sixth Distnot, is a
good lawyer, a man of character and
of education, a member of the
Methodist Churcb, a good writer and
a "clever fellow."
This, is authentic : Mr. Seymour
says the reason he is not a candidate
for the nomination is "because he
does not think that the nomination
belongs to New York." The Con
vention may think differently, and
we hope it will.
The Washington Post of the 10th
has a four-colnmn article on "Credit
Mobilier Jim." That name will be
aPt to stick. It gives ' the record
which Oakes Ames saddled oh Mr.
Garfield. It shows what was- "Can

gavo these astounding and and yet
reliable figures. It beats the. world:
"Mr. Samuel C. Hobgood, of Granville
county, IX VU., worked two. bands and two
horses. Sold his tobacco for $2,800. He
harvested 150 bushels wheat, 100 barrels
corn, 250 bushels oats, and killed $3,000
pounds pork. At a fair valuation his re
suits show 13.775. or $1,887 to the hand.
We put bis Wheat at $1 25 a bushel, corn at
$4 (crop short in that county,) oats 75 cents,

Think of it, men of the South,
$1,887 to the hand.
The New York Herald singles out
Seymour as the man to: beat Garfield.
It says at Syracuse the; leading Dem

Fayetteville Examiner : Mr.

reputation as a polished and forcible wrter.
Greensboro has prohibited tbe sale ot

Nevertheless, it is computed that about

voted on Thursday, tbe 3d inst., to restore

We glean the following from
the Charlotte Pret$ concerning the Congres
sional Convention in the Sixth District:
'After the adoption of appropriate resolu

of Mecklenburg; CoL R. T. Bennett, of

Thirteen ballots ensued without a result.
and at 6 P. M. they took a recess until 9. SO
o'clock. During these; ballots Col. Ben
nett came within three votes of being nom
inated, receiving: 84ft; and at one time Col.
Johnston got 79, on the 13th ballot. After
the recess on the 14th ballot uoi. jonn
s ton's friends relinquished their claims for
him, and with wonderful t generosity in
order to - defeat Ool. Bennett, the eastern
representative, voted for Major Dowd and
so did all the western delegates nearly, se
curing bis nomination by a vote of 88,
which was made unanimous amid cneera
and applause.

Tne Escaped Burglar.
Much speculation has been indulged in as
to the manner in Which George Myers, the
colored burglar, escaped from the county
jail. The idea . that Joe Campbell, who
was confined in the cell with him, and who
was actually chained to him, could have
remained unconscious of what was going
on and ignorant of the escape until after
daylight the next morning, is not for a mo
ment believed. It is the impression of
those who examined into the matter that
Campbell assisted Myers in getting out,
and did not himself leave because he in
dulged the opinion that he would escape
serious punishment through the regular
process of law. A competent mechanic
examined the door of the cell from which
Mvers escaped, and says the heads of two
ot the rivets bad rusted off, bo that it wa
not such a difficult matter after all in getting
tbe bars loose, and then breaking them.
Up to last accounts no clew had been ob
tained as to the whereabouts of the escaped
criminal.
Tax LiatlotT.
Up to 5 P. M. yesterday just 1,171 per

county taxes. This is only a little over
one-third of tbe actual number liable to
taxation, and" about one-balf the time has
expired. The rush, however, usually com
mences during the last week and con
tinues to the last hour devoted to taking
the lists, and those, therefore, who would
avoid the crowd and confusion should list
at once and be done with it. They will
find verv clever gentlemen ready to wait
on them in tbe two rooms at the City Hall
devoted to that purpose, and lists already
made out to facilitate the matter.

In pursuance of a call of the Democratic

and was called to order by Richard W.

meeting had been called for two purposes
nrst. to allow tne present jsxecntive (Jom
mittee to resign, and second, to let the peo
pie appoint a new Executive Committee.
and. by consulting together, devise some

The committee then retired, and after
some delay returned and offered the follow

We, Democratic citizens of the county of
Onslow, in mass-meeting assembled, in
order to harmonize our party throughout
the county, adopt for our governance tbe
following resolutions:
1st. That the County Democratic Execu
tive Committee shall name a day on which
a primary election shall be held in every
election precinct in tbe county, and their
committee shall appoint poll-holders for
this primary election.
2nd. That the poll-holders, on such a day
as tbe Executive Committee may direct.
shall make, at Jacksonville, proper returns
of all votes cast in their respective precincts;
and the Democratic Executive Committee
shall ascertain and declare the results of the

3rd. That whoever is found to have re
ceived the plurality of votes shall be de
clared the party's candidate.
4th. That, if two or more aspirants re
ceive an equal number of votes, the Dem
ocratic County Executive Committee shall
have power to declare which of them shall
be the candidate.
These resolutions, after some discussion,
were adopted.
The committee on resolutions onered tbe
following resolution also:
Whereas, We. the Democratic citizens
of Onslow county, in mass meeting as
sembled, have heard with pride, that the
nomination for Congress, in the Third Con
gressional District, has fallen upon our very
worthy and distinguished county man, Jno.

Resolved, -That we hereby express
our entire satisfaction in the choice of the
Fayetteville Convention, that we assure our
brethren throughout the District that our
standard-bearer is a true Democrat and a
vigorous, far-sighted, thorough canvasser,
and that, both to tbe party in this District
and to him, we pledge the undivided
strength of the Democracy in Onslow.
This resolution was unanimously adopted.
The County Executive Committee then of
fered their resignation, which was accepted.
On motion, the thanks of the party , were
returned to tbe members of the committee

For the purpose of effecting a thorough
Organization, the Executive Committee was,

each voting precinct a sub committee of
three. .
On motion, the County Executive Com
mittee was empowered to appoint delegates
