A Post Mortem Examination The Hus band the Victim. A lltTW oif five wetfca ago, stout th!t(c uiigrii man, bying iu Warieu county, was In vigorous health up to a few hours before hi death, when ho went the way of all flesh and was buried. There were suuiii iicumstiincta connected with his domestic lite and with the nature of Ida sickness thut aroused the suspicion of cer tain persons. His name was Samuel Slainback and his wife's name is Lucy. Thi couple were unfortunate in their mar ried! lile. There were much hard-feeling, many quarrels and reproaches. Latterly Sam had bcome ijuite jealous of his wife, and it was thought that there was good cause. A negro preacher was in the habit of visiting Sam's home too frequently, mid as a result Sam had expressed himself as decidedly dissuti-Bed with his attentions to Mrs. Jane. A few days before the hus band was taken sick, his wife was kuown to have purchased a certain poison (we forbear mentioning it), to be used by her husband in pohoiiing some stock that an noyed him, as she said. She gave her liusl, inn) sonic coffee the morning ol the day he died. He had strong convulsions, a hog oq the pine..: had um i ukkuiis, and the watch-dog was missing Jane ac- jMWatadaVsUlMit slip .UoUiiJt.tiipiiLiiiJtl, Sam had come to his sudden end by foul play, that they determined to have afMt mortem examination made. Accordingly five weeks after the death of Sam, the body was disinterred, and Dr. Cheatham a prominent physician of Henderson, N C , w as sent for. lie pel formed the difB cult and offensive ta.sk of di-secting the decomposed body, and the stomach and liver has licensed North for chemical analysis. In the meantime Jane, the wile has been committed to Warren county jail, to ii-.vuil a judicial investigation. DAVIDSON COLLEGE.

Twenty-six, students graduated Thins day evening, all of whom acquitted themselves In a mannirthat n fleets credit on the institution which has fostered and which has been instrumental to them in acquiring the proficiency which they have proved themselves v have, as well as honor upon themselves. The exercises were commenced by a very solemn prayer, delivered by the Rev. Dr. Chapman, of Charlotte. Music from the Baud, " Guards Quick Step," as interlude. Mr. O. D. Davis, ot Salisbury, delivered h Latin Salutatory, and tho easy manner in which he repeated it, the force with which the address struck the audience, couldu't help but impress fa vol ably tho most illiterate ss well as. the finest educa ted company. Wc imagined him to be one of the ancient Roman students rather than a " Young America.'' At the con clusion of his speech the bandsmen played Sweet Spirit hear my Prayer, and nam indeed must have been the heart that tailed to be moved by its plaintive notes. The following y iiiiig gentlemen of the graduating class, acquitted Ihemseves in a highly creditable manner; J. A. Uoyd, subject "knowledge is vtcalth, T. II.

Our readers will not have forgotten the boast ot the Radical press und the orator ical busli-w backus of the post, that if tbey could control the Southern States tlaajy.iitUUiil.transJori iirnoruuce should forever disappear and intellienee und culture should become the distinguishing characteristics of the age. There never was s more idle boast never one that was more completely disregarded Their promise sare utterly Illusory and were so intended. Of course no intelligent Southern man put any faith in such wild and empty promises, but many ignorant persons were deceived and some design lug men gmcelully ' acquiesced we believe that is the word. The tiuth is some of the Rudicul lead eis are men of sense and wise after the manner of their generation. They kuow that in the South heir chiehst foe ia in t . 1 1 1 o 1 1.. In North ( aiolina their main white supp 1 1 comes from the most stu pidly ignorant and depraved portion of of th" community. If our white people were all respectably iducutcd the decline of Radicalism would begin at once; or more prop, rly, lUiIfcalitin would have nuvel hud Hiiy foi.tlt.il.l in llio Htute. It has hud a luir kliowin i many Southern Slates- in 'Ins State, in South Carolina, in 1 uisiaiia und other Stat It hits brought the mildew of death upon the educalionul sys'ems. They hud euirily as-urid the cuuliy that when tiicy had got possession ol ih. se States by fraud anil loicv, thev woiihl make the desert blossom as the lone, u:id the eye of dull ness bright with the light of intelligence. In a word iraii.yformation was to fol'ow and the hole lund glorified. The school system wits to be changed. It w as to be w idened aud extended so us to embrace all classes, both white and colored. Now look at this State. What is the condition 1 Our 1,'niversily dead, our common n hools almost dead, shame upon the men who did it. So far from resusc.tating, they have blasted : so far from extending the blessings of education, they have curtailed them. In South Car olina, tiruntites either squandered or stole the common school lund, so there are but few schools iu operation. Iu poor Louisi ana they have done worse they have abolished the " free school fund." But this is enough. We seo how unfaithful they have been to the people how un true to their own promises. The day of reckoning will ycT com,'. TUK KmilHU CENSUS. As a m itler of some interest wo copy u tew statistics I rum the English census. We give fiist the figures as to population : lnhahiUmtt.

Botelei lias been invited to deliver the annual addren before the Literary Sccieties of tho Uuiversity of VVcst Virginia on the 18th inst. It has been discovered that inunv , i Mirabeau's famous speeches were really written for him by Etienne Duumnt. as the latter claimed 40 yiars ago, wl? the assertion Was scouted. King Oscar of Sweden took advantage rf the crowd attending bis coronation to sell off the rare paintiugs, furniture, wood carvings, mediaval ornaments and coi- tumes belonging to his prcdcccssar.C'harles XV. Old Sir John Stepney, a Welsh M. P . who fought at Waterloo, and is so deaf you have to scream at him, sits wakeful every night in the House of Commons, and seldom leaves until the doorkeeper shouts, " Who goes home ;" mid puts out the lights.
