We can with truth exclaim that ours is union of co-equal States. '1 he people of North Carolina have done their duty nobly. The part of usur pation and corruption, haSbejen buried even below infamy itself; 1 had been F t conceded that as North Carolina went, so went the nation, hence a heavy re Fponsiblity rested upon us on the 7th.

I ! The Editor of the Regulator has been fearless in Ins denunciations of the Rings and office-holder's cliques, for some time past. And although he has been traduced behind his back, and threatened with utter distinction, unless he desisted, he has never been molested, till last Monday morning about 4 o'clock, while he was folded in the arms of morpheus. Knowing that lie was in danger of losing his life, lie has been prepared for any emergen cy. He has generally gone armed with two long arms with a pair of heavy fist attached to them, alOt with a hickory stick! On retiring at night his weions ibave leen lKked to to see if convenient if any thin'i should happen. But as the excitement of the campaign had subsided, he thought no longer of any danger, consequently was totally unprepared for tlie attack made on Mondaj last. Though in most instances, he is cool, calm and deliberate, when the rocks commenced elting his room, lie arose startled considerbty. After a little reconnor tering, all fears were dispelled. The rocks came from as fair hands as can te touna this sale oi ureensnoro or Hiah Point and as thev had sue- ceeded in. rising earlier than usual, they only desired to cause the Editor to rise early so they could get a glance at his nannsorae t:ce. luey were gratified, bv being alowed to take the desired glance when they disappeared with as broad a smile on their faces. as it has been our privilege to behold for Imany j-ears. The Editor returns his thanks for the rocking since it came trom trie lair sex. lie knows they have no animosity against him and that it was only his good looks that prompted them to call him up in the singular manner they did. with rocks. FROST BITTEN BEANS.' We desire a little information in re gard to Frost bitten Beans. We had a considerable crop, and an unexpect ed, chilly night came on the 7th of November and a large frost fell and has bitten them. Some were so bad ly injured, that they have even shelled out of their hull. They were of a large variety and were better adapted to being ground for food for stock. than anything else. To give some idea of the size, by some means or other a hull was scattered in the low er part of the county and acorrespond- ent of the "New North state, saw it and inquired what sort of animal that hide was taken fiom. and finally come to the conclusion that it was a' ' Go rilla.''3 We saw the communication A .. and had we had time, we would have announced through these columns, be fore this that it was a Bean hull. If the farmers of tlie County will make any suggestions, as to wnat means we can adopt to save them we will be much oniigen. I he Kooms are now preying upon, iana n we aon t soon adopt some means of saving them we fear we shall lose seed. r KILPATRICK IN THE CITY.

Jenkins Resigns the Office of State Treasurer His Reasons Thereof Tiie Treasurer Elect to" Fill the Va cancy. To-day Hon. D. A. Jenkins will tender to Governor Brogdon his res ignation of the office of State Treas urer, the resignation to take effect on tne zzna msi. ic is nnucrsiuou that Governor Brogden will appoint the gentleman who is elected to-day to that office, whethar Democrat or Republican to fill the vacancj'. Though Mr. Jenkins is politically hostile to ns, yet it is nothing more than simple justice to say that he has made the State a zealous, efficient and faithful officer. He has always administered his office in the cnterest of the State and not in that of party. While his political convictions are founded upon what appears to him as great principles of truth and justice, he in his dealings with those who dif fer with him has always been fair and manly ; none of the reckless and un reasoning dictates of violent partisan ship has warped his mind and led him into reprehensible measures. Mr. Jenkin's reasons for the course he has taken will be found in the fol lowing letter of resignation, which, as has been before stated, will be tend ered the Governor to-day : State of North Carolina, Treasury Department, Raleign. Nov. 6th, 1876. His Excellency, C. II. Brogden, Govl ernor of North Carolina. Sir : I tender you my resignation of the office of State Treasurer to take effect on the 22d of the present month. I briefly state the more important rea sons which impel this action : The unusual delay of the Sheriffs in the settlement of the State taxes the present year, (only one having settled to this date,) indicates finan cial embarrassment among the people and difficulty in collecting the taxes. The burdens and responsibilities of the office will multiply as the Sheriffs come in with the meeting of the Gen eral Assembly. There are responsi bilities attending the reception of drafts and checks in the settlements of taxes which a Treasurer going out of office would be unwilling to assume, as in many cases his endorsements of them arc necessary for a complete settlement, and the banks are neces sarily depended on for assistance in collecting them; In this view of the matter I am not to determine what course my successor will take in ref- erence to accepting the funds of the Treasury from me after their deposit in bank. If he should reauire a with- drawal or the deposits, the burden entailed upon the office in counting the funds would be more than the limited clerical force of the Treasur er woula enabled him promptly to perform in the midst of the daily rou tine of heavv duties. I suggest fur ther in this connection that in years previous to 1869 the settlements of Sheriffs were completed by the close of the fiscal year, 30th of September. which enabled the Treasurer to have all his books and accounts ready for inspection by the committee of the General Assembly, as well as for a transfer, with the effects of the of fice, to his successor on the succeed ing first of January. I am now ready to make a complete transfer or the office and effects, with accounts, to my successor, but for the reasons herein stated it is probable that as prompt a transfer as desired by both f 1 1 A my successor ana rayseii couia not be made in the midst of heavy and increasing daily duties during the General Assembly and a throng of sttlinsr Sheriffs if the induction into office of my successor should be de la-ed beyond the time indicated (22d of rsovember.) I do not, at the last moments, shrink from a responsibility that has been endured for more than eight years past, but the brief time that elapses from the meeting of the General As sembly to the 1st of. January will not, m all probability, m view oi then-; nancial embarrassments of the peo- pie, be sufficient for the Sheriffs to complete their settlements. In view all the circumstances these settle- ments should be supervised by one officer. Again, my successor will be afforded an opportunity of consulting I ai . i - r l " I WRn commutes oi uie wuc and of becoming familiar with the nnA r kl, r;iir with thA needs of the Treasury, so as to aid in devising means of raising revenue.

I have ordered the band here, and you must follow them, or prove your superiority in strength over mine. j Apparently in a delightful mood at the joke, he followed me to the hotel entrance, followed by the band play ing the Rogue's March.' At eight o'clock precisely he walked upon the stage, leisurely removed a handsome light overcoat and a pair of gorgeous kids, and amid thunders of applause bowed to the immense assembly before him. j "Two years ago," said hej begin ning in that oratorical manner1 as few having once heard, can evert forget.. when I came here, you desired to crown another stupid blunder!

His discourse was one of his noted melanges, jumping, as the Cork Her ald termed it. from Halifax to Jeni- f ! salem, and returning by the way of Hong Kong." His voice was in per fect tune, and his wonderful gestures were carrying his hearers by storm, when a voice from t!i6 gallery sung out: How about that case ye have a- gainst the English governments for lamages, George ?" ! He rushed to the floats, an(i in a voice of thunder shouted': i Twenty-four. hours after I'm Pres ident of the United Sta'e. I'll collect that hundred thousand pounds, or I'll hang the British minister to a jlamp post in front of the White House!" The next minute I saw Mr. Train walked off the stage by two policemen, and only by the most strenuous' effort did I get the house pacified and the speaker released. f RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. Nine Presbyterian clergymen are already ordained- from among Sioux IndiaSi converts.

THE GRANDEUR OF FAITH, We recently called on a lady of cul ture and refinement, who, having just taken possession of a new house with elegant surroundings, had ; suddenly been called to face the approach of a fearful disease that seemed beyond hu man power to avert. WiiXx a loving husband and winsome danhgter, vith a home filled with evidences of wealth and taste, encircled by warm, true hearted friends, with everything earth ly to make life glad and joyous! we remarked You have everything to live for.

It is whispered that a youDg gentle man in town ia now hard at work upon a new drama, which, when completed, he hopes to see presented upon tlie boards of one of the St. Louis theatres. It is purely an American dramas and a very powerful one. In the ncventh act of the play the curtain rises tothov old Moneypouch, tlie insurance presi dent, discovering his daughter going,, down a rope ladder at midnight to land in the arms. of an impecunious but lov ing young man in the yard. Old Mon eypouch yells out : . "Hi! What all this?" The young man folds his arms stern ly and rejoins : "I wouldxt flee with thy daughter ?n "Cnraea on thee, villain! roars the . father.
