Argument of Ed Graiiam Haywood
in the case of Blount vs. WindleY.
We return our.thanks to the author,
Cjl. E. G. HaWOod, for o pamphlnt
of one hundred and twenty-nine pages,
containing his argument for the Plarti
liil in the Ciie ot Blount m. Windley,
in the Supreme Court ot North Caroli
na, at January Term 1873.
We have not had time to examine
the argument,' but have heard it spoken
ot as one -ot Col. Haywood's ablest
efforts at the bar. The author enjoys
the reputation ot being one of the most
le rued and profound lawyers in the
State. '
, We have one criticism to make of his
pampLlet, ami that is this : It is prin
ted by Turnbull Brothers in Baltimore.
We have printing offices in our city
that can do the same iob as neatly in
everv respect as the one belore us,
ana
we believe us cheaply perhaps at a less
pi ice ;
Tl tli woik had been executed in
Raleinh.-the learned- -author would
have had fie advantage of attending to
his nrooi'-sheets more closely, and would
not have been under, the necessity of
makiiH' the twentv-four corrections of
typographical errors with his peucil.
Sanitary. We reypectluuy urge
nnon our Board of Citv Commissioners
the necessity of inaugurating prompt
sanitary measures. In many portions
ot the citv the streets and back-yards
are in a very filthy condition. If mat
ters are not remedied before the hot
weather eome9 on we may expect a good
deal of sickness in our midst. We hope
our authorities will attend to this at
Vnce'to this matter. We appealto
them by every consideration of humani
ty to take nrjiimt and vigorous meas
ures, and to enforce our appeal we ap
pend the following tender and touching
lines, cooied from the lucubrations of a
Missouri ooetess in the St. Louis Demo
ci'tit ;
'Go see what I have sawn,
Go feel what I have lelt.
Go oat at early dawn,
And smell what I have smelt."

"Nathan Field, of Raleigh." The
Milton Chronicle, in is last issue, has the
following in regard to the finder of the
treasure at the Yarborough Hotel :
"Nathan Field, the negro who found
the lortune in Raleigh, is a waiter in the
Yarboro House
dining
hall. Mr. Par-
ham. the Dooular steward, values him
as one of his best servants. Nathan is
always in his clean apron and white
jacket and is one of the best and most
obedieut or servants. lie is as quiet as
a lamb, never told a lie, and never med
dles with anv bodv's business but his
own. The morning he found this fortune
his good angel led him to it bythe sim
ple dropping of a watch key through a
creek in the floor of the old house.
He stooped down to pick up the key
and his hand took right hold of the old
bundle that has made him a rich man.
He was asked that morning at the table
and he was so much agitated he
could hardly hand steady a cup of
coffee: "Nathan, what is it you nave
done good that nobody knows anything
of except your God ?" "I dun no, boss,"
replied Nathan, "but 1 believe in & prar
once and awhile." Another point of
Nathaa's is : He is faithful and devoted
to his wife tho' many miles apart they
be. He is 45 years old. Let us all try
and imitate Nathan Field in his hum
ble and honest lile and we may find a
fortune. The amount he has deposited
in bank is over eif. ht thousand dollars."

Postmaster General has established the
following new postoffices in this State :

RALEIGH. N. C,
Tue Editorial Excursion to Beau
fort. As heretofore stated in the
News, E. R. Stanley, Esq., President of
the A. & N. C. R. R., gave an invitation
to the Press Association, which adjourn
ed in Goldsboro on Thursday last, to
visit the sea coast. The invitation was
duly accepted, and at 4 o'clock of the
same evening Capt. Loftin, the clever
and wholesouled conductor of the train,
biowed his horn, and soon the Press
gang of the State were rapidly speeding
away tothe seashore. As we did not
take notes, (and what editor that had
been doing any work at home could,
under the circumstances ?) we cannot
give the names of the party on board,
but a jollier set of editors never
mingled together. All were bent on
pleasure and recreation ; business and
its many cares were left at home, and
every man "making up his mind to take
things a3 they came" and to enjoy the
few hours of respite as best they could.
We would be pleased to write up
many amusing incidents that occurred
on the trip to Beaufort, but our space
forbids. Not only that, but Hannalord,
of the Magnolia Monitor, is too clever;
Mann, of the Wilmington JW, , too
large; Spelman, of the JSe.itinel,loo near,
to tell the good things on them' espe
cially. Arriving at Newbern we received a
valuable reinforcement of steam power,
(Nason of the Reptu'ilic-Courier brought
it on board in two demijohns.)
The heat became too great in the
boiler, and at the wharl at Beaulort,Man
ning, of the Roanoke Neics, was sent out
to reconnoitre for water. He found it,
at the larther end of the gang plank
from shore, about four feet deep, meas
uring from the head towards ; the heels.
His beaver floated on the water like a
thing of life but he recovered it in
very cjood order. Luckily he had a dry
suit in his valise. ' - '
At the Ocean House, Beaufort, the
party were hospitably received by that
prince of landlords, Street, whose repu
tation as a hotelist is known by all vis
itors to the sea coast. A good supper
was in waiting and all partook.
After brcaktast next morning, Capt.
Stephen Turner, an "old tar" that is
noted at all times for being "cool, calm
aad deliberate," invited the entire party
to his boats, the'Ttobert E. Lee," 4 -Ella,"
"Gertrude" and and the "City of Beau
fort," for an excursion on the Bay to
Fort Macon, down to the banks, and
out on the ocean.
In our boat the "Ella" (we chose this
on account of the name,) was a jovial
party of six, not counting Charlotte,
(Geo. W.) who was on that occasion
good for two. He was the engineer, and
brought his own steam aboard. Messrs.
Lambeth & Son, the wholesale produce
merchants and fish dealers, sent us also
some supplies in this line. They were
good (so Hannaford and Nason said,)
and, on motion of Biggs, of the Tarbo-
ro Southerner, the thanks of the party

Messrs. Lambeth & Son.
The party, after visiting several points
of interest in the bay, landed at Fort
Macon where a full inspection of the
defences were made. As a matter of
course everything was in "apple pie"
order, the officers clever, obliging and
accommodating, our . reception courte
ous and kind and all left satisfied.
While at Fort Macon we were taken
in charge by Mr. E. O. Noe,who is fitting
up a Club House and Restaurant lor
the accommodation ol Summer visitors.
He gave us a taste of his quality and we
can recommcnt
his house to all whose
pleasure it will
be this Summer to vis
it Fort Macon
The alternoon we spent nsuing on
the Banks, and had ouly "tolerable good
luck." Biggs,! of the Southerner, is not
a success as a fisherman. Manning, of the
Weldon News, Jwould never make a for
tune at it and as for us, we wouli rather
trv our hand at something else.
We sincerely recret that our fishing

Brother Wilson, the great temperance
oracle of jth.c Kinston Gazette, left
GolJsboro with us, and while we had
his assistance all was well, but at Kin
ston, he "fell by the way-side," and all
the trouble and responsibility fell on
our shoulders. It was more than we
could bear, and as above stated, we

Sunday. The day was clear and
beautiful, peace order and quiet,
reigned throughout the city, and "our
church-going c'tizens were out in full
O
force.
There was( no change in any of the
pulpits of the city except at the Eden-
ton Street Methodist Episcopal church,
which wa3 occupied by the Rev. Mr.
Trimmer in the absence of the regular
pastor, Rev. Mr. Mangum.
It wa3 our pleasure to hear the
excellent discourse of this young Divine,
which was in full accord with bis grow
ing reputation in our city.. His subject
" i he Transfiguration of Christ" was one
of striking interest and his large Congre
gation seemed deeply affected by the
beautiful similes drawn and his pleas
aut delivery and elocution. At night
he preaclteiat the Person street church
where, at an early hour, every seat was
tilled and many came and went away,
not being able to obtain admittance.

MECHANICS AND LABORERS
STRIKE.
THE TEN HOUR SYSTEM
MANDED.
DE-
EMPLOYERS "CANT SEE IT."
All Building Operations Suspended.
MECHANICS MEETING CALLED
FOR TO-NIGHT.
All Quiet On the Lines at Midnight.
At an early hour yesterday morning.
the streets were lined with loafing bands
ot colored mechanics and laborers, a
scene somewhat unusual for Monday
morning, and a3 a consequence much cu
riosity was manifested by reporters,
especially, as to the cause. It was soon
ascertained that
a general strike
of the mechanics and laboring men of
both colors was at hand. As a matter
of course some little excitement was
created on the streets and at the various
workshops, brick-yards, quarries, &c,
the excitement was still greater. An
attempt to
INTERVIEW THE STRIKERS
proved unavailing as to their expecta
tions. They only spoke of the all day
system as unjust and would not again
go to work unless'the employers would
agree to ax strict ten hour rule. Em
ployers showed no signs of effecting
even a compromise till about 11 o'clock
when a colored man by the name of
Bishop, a boss cellar digger, who em
ployed about twenty hands, gave in.
called his hands together and agreed to
their demand for the
TEN HOUR SYSTEM. .
The action of .Bishop spread like
wild-fire over the city, and at 12 o'clock
all the laborers, (save a few honorable
exceptions,) who had not participated
in the morning strike, joined in and
work ceased on not less than seventy
five buildings in process of erection.
At this hour, the large number of hands
engaged on the work of the Yarboro
ions struck, and for the
first time in our neighborhood matters
wore
A GLOOMY APPEARANCE.
We visited other point3, and lound
no work going on. The- largest shops
n the city, Messrs. Betts, Allen & Co.,
T. 11. Briggs & Co., D. L. Royster, the
Tupper Manufacturing Company and
others, are at a stand-still.
All ot the above
named proprietors
have positively
REFUSED. TO ACCEDE TO THE DEMAND
of the strikers, and as they are men of
means aud have already received eu
couragement from parties with whom
they have time contracts with, it is reas
onable to suppose. U& Ta'Asl"aeihic ine
at a general strike in our
city.
We learn that Mr. Tupper has already
sent on North lor a sufficient number of
workmen to carry on- nis work, rather
than to succumb to the demand of his
laborers.
At 8 o'clock last eveniug the ringing
of the County bell announced a
GENERAL MEETING AT THE COURT nOUSE
which was largely atiended, both colors
participating, though a large majority
were colored.
H. C. Jones col, moved to organize
the meeting by calling J. P. Prairie to
the Chair.
A colored man by the name of Spen
cer was called to state the object of the
meeting. He said that the meeting was
called to establish a system of labor for
the workingmen of Raleigh ; that Ral
eigh was the only city that was now
unprotected by an organization of
workingmen and the workingmen
were now here present for organization.
Hie President stated that a secretary
was necessary to complete the organi
zation, when Taylor, Esq., was
called to the posstion.
Calls were made on several present,
when Henry Iveith, Esq., responded.
He said he was not in full sympathy
with those who calied tlm meeting.
He was unwilling to go back on men
and play a snatch game with those who
had been friends to the workingmen
and mechanics,
He thought
there was
intriguing going on by
false leaders
who were not willing to ccme out in the
open daylight. He said he knew there
was a large quantity ot work now going
on in the citv. much ot it, was now
nromised at a certain time. He knew
that the walls ot the Yarbrough Ilouse,
uoon which nearly forty lianas wtre
this morning at work, would be wrap
pedup to-morrow and thus remain tor
four months before that contractor
w ould ield one iota to the demands of
men who he believed were led on by de
signing parties, who had no interest in
the welfare of the workingmen
He asked if the workingmen present
were prepared to stand a siege of this
Umnntrsr fnroa rf pq I vca t VPS I tnl
lowed by hisses from the colored side of
the house and applause trcm the whites.)
He stated tnat as a mechanic, he . haci a
right to speak and from all respectable
men a decent hearing and would not, be
hissed down.
After an eloquent appeal to the me
chanics present to desist from the mad
attempt to coerce their trud friends, the
contractors, into measures distastelul to
them, concluded.
H. C. Jones, colored, followed Mr.
Krith in support ot the objects of the
meeting, viz : immediate action to force
contractors into the ten hour system ot
work.
A resolution was adopted -appointing
a committee of five to draft lesolutions
for a regular order of business.
James C. Gorman, James H. Jones,
n. C." Jones, Patrick McGowan and
Haywood Spencer were appointed as
said committee,
Steward Ellison, colored, next called
out. He was for the strike; he thought
now was the time for action. He told
his friends they, need not fear that con
tractors would be able to employ work
men elsewhere. Altera general disser
tation on labor, the price, &c., what it
should be, he closed by counselling the
workmen to stand by the strike.
Sews
MAY 20. 1873.
The committee returned and reported
the following resolution :
Resolved, That we, the mechanics ot
Raleigh, think that ten hours per day is
a sufficient length ot time for men to
work, and are determined to work no
longer during the summer or fall months,
and as for wages, let each man make
his terms with his employer. Adopted.
Gen. Willie D. Jones was called out,
and in a speech on labor, advocated the
the ten hour system of labor
faithfully performed. He knew noth
ing of the differences now existing be
tween the laborer, mechanic and
the contractor, and did not propose to
say anything to interfere.
An attempt was made to adjourn,
when the same man Spencer took the
floor and made a terrible speech against
Henry Keith, T. II. Briggs, Weir &
Hamil and other Contractors. He
thought it was now time that the la
boring men proceed to impeach
Mr. Briggs who for a long time has
occupied the position of President of
the Raleigh Mechanics. Mr. Keith re
plied to the severe strictures of the man
Spencer on Mr. Briggs and other con
tractors who are known as high toned
gentlemen in the community. In his
speech Mr. Keith was frequently inter
rupted by hisses from the colored side
ot the house, and cries ot ten hours! &c.
&c.
As will be seen by advertisement, un
der the hea ot our Special City Items,
a meeting of the Mechanics is called at
the Court House to-night.
So farbut little excitement, other than
that which would necessarily occur by
the cessation of work and the general
loafing of the laborers, has occurred.
At the latest moment before we goto
press the opposing parties remain stead
fast in their determination, but the gen
eral impression is the laborers, with a
large number of the colored mechanics,
-re unable to stand the siege. We learn
that three of, Betts, Allen & Co. 'a color
ed laborersiapplied last evening to be
reinstated from the fact that rations
were scarce at home '
Meeting of the Board of County
Commissioners. Under the require
ments of the State revenue law, the
Board pf County Commissioners held a
meeting in this city yesterday to hear
aiid determine complaints in regard
to the tax lists. Messrs. R. W. Wynne,
II. C. Jones, Wm. Jinks and Samuel
Raycer, Commissioners, were present.
No complaints were brought before' the
Board. ;
Messrs. G. W. Wilder, Drury Partin
and R. B. Saunders Were appointed a
Committee to let out the contract for
the building or repairing of the bridge
across Crabtree Creek, near the farm of
Major Manly.
In this connection it may be proper
to say, that that the Sheriff has not yet
settled for the county taxes for 1872,
Wynne, has instituted suit onihe oona,
though the notices have not yet been
served. The full amount of taxes due
is some $7,000, including State and
County capitation tax for 1871-72.
The Board Will be m session to-day
and to-morrow to hear questions arising
from the tax lists.

Modoc News The Same Old Story.
Lava Beds, May 15. It was stated
that Mason's and Hasbrouck a com-
Umands had formed: a junction near
-Captain Jack's last stronghold; and
would in all probability ncm the .Mo-
docs in. A second dispatch, dated
May 16th contradicted the former. A
junction had not been made, and fur
thermore the.Modocs had escaped irom
the stronghold by three routes, both
commands pursuing. Nothing has been
heard from Conrad Mackay's Warm
Spring warriors. ;
At later accounts the Modocs were
encamDcd on the Snow mountains
twenty miles south of Sorass Lake.
Hasbrouck started in that direction on
the lGth, and Mason a . command . re
mained in the lava beds. . Mackay
thinks that Boston Charley was killed
in the last fight. It is thought Mason
will find the Modocs this time. Kings
bury's command has been sent to rein
forte him. ,

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
The Chronic State of Affairs in South
America. ;
Panama, May ath. Ex-President
Conroeso arrived in Panama on the 6th
from Costa Rico. The revolution which
has slumbered since President Miro was
banished has broken out.
The evening following the arrival of
Ex-Pres. Conrossa he convened a meet
ing declaring the national troops, who
were placed here for the protection of
foreigners, as acting treasonably to the
General Government, as well as .to the'
State, by interfering in the late revolt
which deposed Miro and expressed his
intention ot disarming and compelling
them to leave the State on to:morrow at
1:30 o'clock, p. m. . . . . s.
On the 7th the fighting, with shell
and small shot, commenced . in Plazo
San Jose by the State troops' advancing
upon the national troops. After a des
perate fight ot two hours ' the former
were repulsed. , .,
Both sides claim they attacked for
safety. The fighting continued with
slight intermission until 9 o'clock p. in.,
when Conrossa signified his desire of a
Consuls meeting to arrange some plan
for peace, but they refused , to interfere.
A United States steamer and the flagship
Pensacola, with Rear Admiral' Stead-
man, arrived in the bay daring the
afternoon, and foreigners are protected
at the American Consulate by fifty men
from the United States steamers Pensa
cola and Tuscarora, and 150 men ' irom
the ships guard . the property of , the
Panama Railroad, which has, not yet
been molested.
At daybreak this morning' the fireing
was reopened and continued with
slight intermission until -10 . o'clock.
when a truce was agreed upon. Con
rossa Arrago for the State is to ar
range terms of peace with Miro. There
is a rumor afloat that similiar
coupt de etats to the late . one here,
bad taken place in Bogota, and that
President Muerills and his Secretary
were prisoners. This , however, needs
confirmation. The limit question with
Venezuela .seems for the, present to
antl"Wfef ad'ossuf ot the national forces
were killed and a Colonel and Lieuten
ant Colonel were wounded. . President
Cerevera is wounded, it is .impossible
to give the number of killed and woun-
ded at this time. -
Such.ot the residents who - have not
availed themselves oi. the. men-of-war
have fled from th$ city and are in am
bush. President Miro,' since' his ban
ishment, has issued an add t ess to the
national government calling, lor inter
ference, not for the purpose, of reinsta--tiog
himself, but the dynasty' of the
State. ' ' " ' ' ;
-.-''. LATERE ' 1 : H
May 9Conrossa states that the ne
gotiations have ended.satisfactQrily, and
the trouble is over. Both sides have des
ignated Col. Juan Peryit, aformer Pre
lect ot color, as Provisional 'President
until General Miro can" be recalled-
Another account from Panama says
that a half dozen men were killed in the
fiaht. The citizens now feel secure un-
der the protection of the United States
troops. Admiral Bteaaman,' aa wen as
the .officers in charge ol the guards sta
tioned on shore, have.acted in the no
blest manner. They do their duty cool
ly and with prudent firmnesj, but with
out offending either aide. iThe 'basia of
the peace talked of is the restoration of
the government ot President Miro, , Jt
is hard to predict how the aflalrtnay
end. V ' '' " "
