Remember that the Daily Corutiiu tun,,ti dirty sheet now being distribu ted through the country is edited by W, WIloldcn, Since Tilden became Governor of New York, within f wo yeaat, he has worked reform sos successfully that the taxes of that State have been reduced from $15,727,802 jto$84188,57?-inear ly one-half. That's the kind of reformer! he is. Everybody echoes the sentiments of Governor Hendricks, when he says in his letter of acceptance : " Qur com-, merce has been degraded Jo anj inferior position on the high sas, manufac tures have been diminished ; I agricul ture has been embarrassed; and the distress of the industrial classes de mands that these things shall be re formed. I SOMETHING FOR TAJTCE, . , t ' Below we publish a letter nxnn one of Ra:Wolph8 best citizens, whose in tegrity afid standing in Randolph ranks with taat of her best men. A man who is not willing that Gov. Vance's name shall te stig matizad with the false reports now being circulated against hinr by such men as W. W. Holden, editor Of the TVrtzfy Constitution, the editor cf the JYcio JTorth Slate and others : Mr. JKcftWr. I take this method' of informing my friends of Randolph and the publio generally, of a circum stance in regard to myself which took place during thelate rebellion I was a Militiaofficer acting in Montgomery county-, and was' engaged in threshing wheat through that section of Country, and frequently threshed wheat for de serters' families. I was, however, soojsr invested and carried before a court martfat which sat at Bemanton, Montgomery' c3Qnlyt near Tny, and trieiT, charged' with ' threshing wheat for cleserters families,'' Was; found gn xity and senUbced the ntence bei??g " to be cashiered aha gent to the ranks of the Cenfedcra&'JaTroy Governor Vanco hearing of Ush at one r revoked the order, and had pe set -st fiberty.

Once more the at tempt is to be made to scare the South ern States into submission to Republi can misrule ; and why is this to be done ? Because it is the last, dying effort of a worn oat party, which has wrought its own ruin. It is the plan of the Republicans to hold their majority in the Senate and there are ten seats to be filled in eight States-, and by ly ing, by committing lawless acts them selves, if necessary, and laying them to the charge of the Democrat, they intend to have troops to assist them in this election. The time has now pass ed when the people of North Carolina are to be driven from the polls by the bayonet, 6ince peace has been fully restored and all secret organizations disbanded and broken up. Let them send their troops if they desire, and peaceably will the people show at the polls that in that way no election ghall ever be carried in the United States The Southern people are now joining hands and will vote together this cen lennial 3ear for reformation, regardless of party. Dr. Worth, Democratic candidate for State Treasurer, stated at Midway, that if it was not for the political trickery in the Constitutional Amend ments, there would not be six men in the State that would vote against them. 44 An honest confession is good for tlie soul. We concur with Mr. Worth, it is the political trickery " that we arc opposed to. The Amendments are clothed with nothing but " political trickery " to de ceive the people, and to decoy them to surrender their rights. The grating of teeth in the vicinity of Robbins and Pinnix when Worth let the cat out of the wallet," made the earth quake. Central. The above from Bill Henderson's dirty sheet is a willful, and intentional perversion. Dr. Worth's statement was this : " that if there was no poll tics brought to bear or party spirit to be st'rred up, in the discussion of the amend incuts there would not be ten men m each county in the State who would vote against them." We do not write this for the bene&t of those who know CHI Henderson, but for those who do -not know him ALL IS WELL CHATHAM TRUE AS STEEL. . Special Raleigh News. Pittsboro, Aug. 28, 1876. The crowd on Saturday at Mineral Springs was a quiet but enthusiastic' gathering. The audience were com pletely disgusted with the Judge. He made two 'remarks that were exceed ingly unpopular ; the first one was, I. assert here that he (the Governor) has been a failure at every important crisis when he has served the govern ment.'' The second remark that brought with it indignation in the heart of every true man was : " There is not an intelligent man (there may be a fool) who does not know that the Democrats of North Carolina have done the stealing." The only appli cation I can give to this is that every man who believes there is any hones ty in the-Democratic party is a fool. Hard cider was well represented. An old man said he drank hard cider and rolled log cabins in 1840, and in 1876 he drank hard cider for Tilden and Vance. Another man said that the Governor had corduroyed the Judge all over. The Judge Was just a quicksand hole, and Vance had got it corduroyed and was riding over. I heard something new about Dd quets at Jonesboro. Judge Settle re ceived several very fine ones. Some from the ladies of Raleigh, and oth ers from the colored ladies, genu A f ricanus, of Fayetteville.) The'y Were beautiful boquets, and were carried on the sfsge and presented while the Judge Was- speaking. . It was a gtnua Africanxis who carried them, and he did not have sense enough to take off his hat. AT riTTSBORO, ACQ. 28. OtcT Chatham Was' wide awake ear ly this morning. By 9 o'clock the streets were All. Horsenfen came Jn from every direcfiOnVcorered wagons, jerseys arid carriages Were filled. Ev--ery other wagon Had a barrel of defer, and it was so plentiful thai it was a drug at five cents a quart with a taste thrown in. The main street wTts cVc orated with flags, banners and mot toes. Across the street was a motto in letters a foo6lbrig. welcome to Vance another mbtto was, Settle will bje exhausted Kov. 7th," another reform against rascality," another Chatham 600 for Vance. This last one sounds big but from the best in- formation I'cvold get, I thiufe Qhzr ham will give 300 Democratic najori- ty. About JO o'clock the bani with the Centre Tilden and Vance Club of Pittsboro, escorted the Gorernt r from Dr. HaWkVdown to the ; Democratic headquarters. About 10 :30 the Cape Fear Tilden and Vance Club from Lockrille, arrived, seventy-five strong; all mounted on fine horses. The Gov ernor Was fairly besieged hand-shad ing and congratulating; How was U at Judge Settle's rooms? It was almost no one to love me,'' except negroes, and there was a crowd of them, only a very few white men. A great many of the Radicals would not go to see the Judge because of such an army Of negroes. It was a dark crowd: and like the man that made a mistake and went to the cup board instead of the window to see how the . weather was, " it was very black and smelt like cheese. There; were about 2,000 at the grove. The Governor was escorted thther bythe two Tilden and Vance Clubs, and the Cornet Bind of Pittsboro. The Judge realy had no escort ; he "does not like show and bombast," tnd only about a half dozen accompanied him. The ladies of Pittsboro danifested their appreciation of the Governor by their presence in goodly nunbers, and many more would have been present, but for the idea that Gov. Vande did not want them to come out."' (I will say here that the Governor desires Cn all occasions to have the ladies come In full force.) Nearly every lady pres ent carried an elegant boquet, and as the Governor closed his speech, they came forward and handed him their offerings and good wishes With smiles. The old cannon (six potinder) wa3 brought out and pealed forth echoes of enthusiasm till the welkin rang with hurrahs. The two speeches at Mineral Springs and Joriesboro can be summed up in a few words. The score stood ten strikes and spares for Vancj tenpins standing, all balls wide, for Settle.- C Summit CottriCrj OUR CANDIDATE; General Wade Hampton Our cat- didate for Governor of the State of South Carolina, is a gentleman of un impeachable character, who does not hesitate t hi,, meaning when hoe&jB anything he means ft and his word! we dare.not dispute.

It reported down In Montgomery and Stanly counties that Got. Vance is a " Roman Catholic,'' and that ff be will send all the girls to the Nunneries and put the men's thumbs under fence fai!s to make them promise " reform." This is a pretty hard tale on a Presbyterian like Vance, but almost anything in the shape of false reports may be expected now. Vance is, Indeed, a bug-a-boo in the eyes of Radicalism. M ARK THE CONTRAST, It Is worthy! of notice that all the " outrages " upon negroes' at the South, are in the Republican States, where the governors, judges; prosecuting at torneys, and the rest of the" office-hold ers are Hepcfbllcsns. In the .Demo cratic States there is good order and good government, and negroes and white people : are alike protected. Hartford Times, Auf. 8. THE CUBAN VOTE.

This outragewhich we shall presently set forth is of fed recent orgin. It had its commencement ten years or more ago, and it enats in the city of Wilmington to-day. Previous to the commencement of the late wax between the States a nat uralized citisen died in Wilmington, leaving behind him a widow and two children. He was a native of Wales, and having crossed the Atlantic sought a home in North Carolina, and married t - a wife near Charlotte in the county" of Bruhswieki In the course' of time he moved to Wilmington and settled himself near the Southern" suberb of the city in a house which he had purchased. There he lived for years in the quiet enjoyment of a comfortable home which honest industry had provided for his happy and contented little family About the commencement of httili ties he sickened and died. The honest i, Welshman died under the sustaining hope and belief that he had pftmdsd for his wife ahd children whom hb wai leaving behind to fight the bsitle of life without his aid and protection1; a home which the laws of his adopted country would protect and defend to their use: 1 This YYelShttahs nanie was,L'uas.

The statement is almost incredible, but the truth of it can be established beyond all question. toT eight years and more thiwhite boy has been the Servant of a black ne gro who is a trespasser in the boy's own house.- He has been compelled during-the time to perform services of the most menial character.- Hehas been required to do hb master's marks eting.
