grieved to say it is too true all you have
heard through the northern press ot
the outrage perpetrated in this countv
on July "Jo. .cinee that time a perfect
reign oi terror has existed in this coun
ty. My associate on tho Independent
ticket for Chancery Clerk has been
hunted and his house surrounded fur
several nights by armed men, number
ing from oO to 100, demanding his with
drawal from the canvas's, but as yet
they have been unable to, see Mr- J. t.
Bell, who is the candidate for Chance
ry Clerk. There is no Republican
ticket In this county. " The indepen-
denticket is composeel of Democrats,
but on account of the colorexl people
supporting the ticket so generally, it
has aroused the Bourbon Democrats to
such a high pitch that, they declare no
opposiliou ticket shall be put in the
held. I.very ellort is ' bein made to
cover up their action here on the "th
ult. i on cannot imagine or picture the
scene of that meb, and but for our
gallant Mayor, J. II. Holt, blood would
have been spilled and myself and many
friends murdered. As to the race issue
that is all bosh. The negroes are ail
quiet and could not be aroused to arms
by any one, and were they to attempt
such a thing, no one would rally to the
protection of the intelligence e)f the
intelligence of the county quicker than
myselt, and every white person iu the
county knows it, I have said nothing
as yet, but so soon as the , time arrives 1
will be heard from. You w ill please
not use my name if you publish this,
as it may icjure me m someway. 1
intend to come out with full details as

-Nuw Alkc UolA out Uia' saw

There scetiu; to have been no terms
otherwise with the state:
Now concerning that siiwmill, so
prominently shown on the Committee's
Diagram of , ' Mud Cut and its surround
ings," the object of admiration for. so
many thousands of excursionists, hear
him :
t. ' Kxplaiu how your saw mill at
Round Knob is b-.dng worked, ''
A. "'The saw mill is my own; kept
in repair by me; the timber furnished,
by me, but the;' mill is worked by con

ro iuuneu.se is the value of the yearly
rental of this -Ix.'i. sun- mill, 'that' all
Western North Carolina cannot furnish
a man or men capable of estimating it,
and the solution can only be accom
plished by reference to a man ac
custoand to counting in the millions.
A handsome tribute (?) iudced to the
intedl.igcnce of the lumbermen and mill
men e f this region.
We now give room to Mr. Aiken's
final diatribe again: the unhappy and
rascally Wilson, an I his confreres en
gaged in doing business for the state.
We mrdet'y suggest in behalf of eur
self atid our readers, that Governor
Jarvis, some day when he feels well
enough, shall take one of those junket
ing excursions of his out west, make a
call on Major Wilson and look into his
manner ef doing business forvthe state.
He had better take alocg hl Attorney
General, so as to ascertain whether
Wilson has in fact been violitic law.

TIIK TWO VICTORIES.
The electibn in California in which
the Republicans cariied all their Con
gressmen, their Governor and the Leg
islature has been followed by a greater
triumph in Maine If it might bewaiu
that in California the result was due to
the confusion in the rauks of our uppo
nents.jit may be said with much great
er truth that the result iu Maine is due
to rigorous discipline in our own rauks.
It has been very rare that any man ever
brought ''to a canvass such complete
knowledge of the situation, and used
that knowledge with so much judgment.
It is a brilliant triumph, not only to
Senator Blaine, but to those who came
gallantly to his aid, and the true men
of that state.
The whole ?ote cast thi. year , was
about 14,000 more than last year when
the Republicans were beaten. Of tujs
the Republicans gained ll!,0'K. the
Greenbackcrs 9,000, while the Demo
crats lost 7,000. The Republican gain
came mainly from a latent vytc that
was brought out, and Republicans re
claimed from tho Greenbackers, togeth
er with a few bolting hard money Dem
ocrat. The surprising thing is that the
Greenbackers cast about 00,000 votes,
while the Democratic vote feli to near
ly nothing, thas leaving :thc Republi
cans with a round majority above both
factions, lacking about C00. 'lhe Sen
ate stands, Republicans 18 out of V,l,
and the LTouse SO Republicans to &1
fusion. V
The contest on all sides w;as nearly
the hottest and bitterest ever knuwu in
the annals of partisan warfare. Every
little remote locality seemed to have
been crowded with coptcsting speakers
.and managers, and flooded with printed
docunieuts. Added Id this were all
those showy appliances of musie, trans
parencies', banners, pyrotechnics .ami
gay processions,whic'u recalled the mat
uprisings of 1S40 and 1SG0.
WAIT.
The order has gone forth from the
CommandcriuChief, from all the
stump, speakers, and from every news
paper iu the Democratic party,. thati no
more bulldozing shall be committed in
the south during the elections iu the
blood-thirsty demons of the Democratic
party have been ordered and eutreated
to H-aii until alter the Presidential elec
tion of 1&$), before they kill. any, more
white or colored Republicans iu the
south. Tho Democratic papers are
now beggihg the brethren of their party
to wait and subordinate everything to
Democratic success in 1 880. Then thev
can continue their 'pastime of shooting
the blacks ami whites of the Republi
can party. Will the jeoplc of the
north make a cote of this? If the
Democratic party Carrie's the election
in 1S80, and gets complete control of
the United States government, the life
of a Republican in the south' will not
be worth a euny. The blood of 10,mh)
murdercvl Republicans in the j-uutii
cries from th.e earth, to the north t.
rally and save their associates in the
Republican party of the southern rebel
states. We tell people of the north
that hundreue of Republicans arc assxs
siuated. iu the couth w hich are never
reported, from the fact that the Repub
licans are afraid to speak of it. - How
long will the north allow , this to con
tinue? MisMiirri. !
