JUDGE FARRAR.
His Lecture at the Opsra House Last
Night.
A large audience assembled at the
Opera House last night to hear Judge
Farrar. The lecturer was very pleas
antly presented by Rev. Dr. Hoge,
who referred to the previous visit of
this distinguished son ot Virginia to
our city, by reason whereof he con
sidered it unnecessary to introduce
Judge Farrar to his audience, but would
present the latter to him, which he did
in a few humorous remarks.
The lecture was delightful; the pathos
of the speaker being only equalled by
his exquisite character sketches.
To-night Judge Farrar will deliver
his celebrated lecture entitled "Johnny
Reb," the composition of which made
him famous, and is saidto be the best of
the many gems of this accomplished
gentleman.
Fires in th Country.
The dwelling ofJMr. C. C. Ketchum,
near Wrightsville, was destroyed by fire
before daylight last Sunday morning.
The family escaped from the burning
building, but lost nearly everything they
possessed in the way of clothing and
furniture. It is not known how the fire
originated. It began in the kitchen, and
the dwelling was oh fire before the in
mates were aroused. Mr. Ketchum's
family is a large one and in their desti
tute condition any contributions will be
giadlv received.
A barn and about 2,800 bushels of
rough rice belonging to W. H. Wiggins,
near Little Bridge, was burned early
Sunday morning. The property was in
sured with Messrs. Hodges & Taylor for
an amount sufficient, it is supposed, to
cover the loss.
Judge Frrr To-night.
"The Happy Band of the King's
Daughters" have prveailed upon Judge
J. R. Farrar (familiarly known in Vir
ginia as "Johnnie Reb") to remain over
one day longer, and to give his "John
nie Reb" lecture entire to-night at 8
o'clock. The price of admission is very
reasonable and the house no doubt will
be crowded. All the Bands of the
"King's Daughters" ought to be repre
sented, because special provision has
been made for reserving seats for them
without extra charge.
Going Gunning.
Col. K. M. Murchison and Messrs.
D. M. Williams, Joel W. Murchison,
David Reid Williams and K. M. Mur
chinson, Jr., leave to-day for a big bird
hunt -near Walnut Cove and other

appendages of the party "Gumleronly"
is worthy of special mention. He will
give the hnnters some good "points",
and will "fetch" anything from a hum
ming bird to a wild turkey.

RADICAL DEVILTRY.
Impotent Rage Nine Members of the
New Hanover Canvassing Board In
dictedBut They Will Never Be Con
victed. A special telegram to the Star from
Rsleigh states that the grand jury of the
United States Court, now in session in
that city, has found a true bill against
Walker Taylor. E. G. Parmele, T. G.
Pickett, William Ulrich, J. M. McGowan,
E. W. Manning, B. S. Montford.and Will
West, members of the late canvassing
board of New Hanover county for fail
ing to canvass the vote of Cape Fear
Township for Representative in Con
gress in the recent election. This, it is
claimed, is in violation of Section 5,515
of the Revised . Statutes of the United
States, which is as follows :
"Every officer of an election at which
any Representative or delegate in Con
gress is voted for, whether such officer
of election be appointed or created by
or under any law or authority of the
United btates, or by or under anybtate,
territorial, district, or municipal law or
authority, who neglects or refuses to
perform any duty in regard to such elec
tion required of him by any law of the
United btates, or of any btate -or terri
tory thereof; or who violates any duty so
imposed; or who knowingly does
any acts thereby unauthorized, with in
tent to affect any such elections, or the
result thereof; or who fraudulently
makes any false certificate of the result
of such election in regard to such Rep
resentative or Delegate; or who with
holds, conceals, or destroys, any certifi
cates of record so required by law re
specting the election of any such Rep
resentative or Delegate; or who
refuses to make and return such
certificanes as required by law;
or who aids, counsels, procures, or id-
vises any voter, person, or officer, to do
any act by this or any other preceding
sections made a crime, or to omit to do
any duty the omission of which is bv
this or anv of such sections made a
crime, or attempts to do so, shall be
punished as prescribed in section fifty
five hundred and ten."
The punishment, on conviction, is a
fine of one thousand dollars, or by im
prisonment not more than one year, or
both.
The Hon. Cicero Pericles Lockey is
the prosecuting witness; so the indict
ment is based on ex parte. Republican
testimony, and amounts to nothing. Of
course, the grand jury were not accu
rately advised as to all the facts, or a
true bill would not have been found.
And in this connection it may be sug
gested that it would be eminently proper
for some grand jury to take cog
nizance of the acts of the Radical
negro who withheld the books from the
legally appointed Registrar of Cape
Fear Township, and thus by force and,
as is currently reported, under the ad
vice of white Republicans, prevented a
legal election.
This whole proceeding is a -piece of
Radical deviltry set on foot for the sole
purpose of harassing and intimidating
the Democratic canvassers who had the
nerve and honesty to reject the returns
of a Township in which a most out
rageous violation of the election law was
the salient feature.
But the efforts of the Tom-Reed law
yers, whether adipose or attenuated,
will utterly fail of their purpose, in both
the State' and Federal Courts, in the
present case.
According to the telegram to the
Star, Messrs. Geo. H. Jackson, J . H.
Home and James Cowan, all members of
the canvassing board, are not included in
the indictment.
