Th e Raleigh correspondent of the' N.
Y. Times has lone been distinguished
for political vagaries. The day, before
the meeting of the State Republican
Committee ie telegraphed to the Times
that Canaday and Mtt were "for Sher
mao.bui they have no following on the
committee, or among the masses." Hw
much reliance can be placed upon the
statement of this correspondent, may
be judged by the fact, that when the
committcje met the next day, they stood
six for Sherman and' four lor somebody
else. Wliat following Mr, Sherman
may have among j"the masses" will be
known be Iter after he gets 12 out of the
1G delegates to be 'appofnted, or else
the whole delegation. It is evident
that the statements of jthe correspond

MEETJKa OP TUJi REPUBLICAN
STATU CONVENTION. !
This body met at Raleigh on the 29.h
for the pui-pose of making the prelimi
nary arrangements tor the coming cam
paigning for appointing the delegates
at large for the National Republican
Convention to be held at Chicago on
the 2nd day of June next. ,
Among
ne first Jbusines3 transacted
was the resignation ot Col. Thos. B.
Keogh as
chairman and the election
UfC. W. G
randy of Elizabeth City in
his place.
Ex Gov. Holden also re.
member of the committee,
signed as a
and Col
L. W. Humphrey of Golds-
born was elected in his place.
, Couip'.iuientary resolutions were vo
ted to Cul.j Keogh and, thanks - to the
National Committee for selecting1, him
as its Secreiary. i '
J Th6 Committee then proceeded to
select delegates at large to the Rational
Convention! as' follows? TTon. W. P
Canaday of! this city, Hon. D. If. Star-
buck of Salem, .Hon. James H. Harris
i -
of Raleigh, and Gen. Rufus Barringer
of Charlotte. The alternates selected
were: W. S. Pearson, Geo. W. StSn-
ton, L. C. Christmas, and A. M. Dibbee
) i j -,
The Committee voted to call a State
Republican Convention to be. held at
Raleigh on the 7th day of July next,
for' the nomination of Crovernor and
othjer state 6Ficers, and for two electors
at large. j . ,
In the meantime it is understood that
either the District Congressional Com-
mittees, or the District Conventions
will select tjie remaining 'delegates.' !r
The State Committee' before the re
formation cohsjsted of: Thos. B. Keogh,
Chaii--ai-; W- P. Canaday, J. J Mott,
D. 11., Starbuck, Pinkney Rollins, J.
II. Harass, D., A. Jenkins, O. Hubbs,
C. W. Grandy and W. W. Holden. ' .
The reason which influenced the
Committee to appoint the delegates at
large, and to put the State after the
National Convention, was that it is too
early now to call the latter meeting,
and that it can be done more intelli
gently af'er the- action of the National
Convention is made public.

WiLMTNftTOSr, N. C.Jan. 30, 1880.
A REIGN OF TERROR. ;
Empires have fallen, kingdoms van,
ished, rtbellions crushed. Would it
therefore be surprising if the little
government of New Hanovjer County
should come to a sudden-stop by usur"
pation ? Indications are such, for cer
tain officials, claiming to' be sound
Democrats, always ready and seeking
to flourish their names at the head of
any and every Democratic ticket, are
by no means-Democrats, but belonging
to a :)arty,.not now in power, but se
cretl; working, nt now daring to show
their true colors in daylight.
Xhis party alluded to, have but one
object in view, since the negro (slave)
has been taken from them, to find fuel
to keep the cauldron boiling at last,
centered upon the' poor ignorant V; for

be bled, he tnut suffer, he must be dic

and sometimes only too successful.'. Is
this all they expect of him? Now
they must pay not only cxhorbitant,
i . .... . ', ,i..ri
rents fines on the least occasions, sub
scribe aud contribute to all, improve
ments and com forts for those usurpers,
and if desired to keep them in office,
their last dollar is even taken from
them before they earn it. Their oath
is disregarded, their books and accounts
are demanded, if they have any. They
are prosecuted and bound over;! for

failed to list their purchases, the one a

Then again, as above mentioned, the
Register of Deeds demanded only from
foreigners of the entire city of Wil
mington meir 7uoo am. v

to
criminate themselves for any omission
ia their returns. This demand is based
upon a law enacted by.an allwhe Legis
lature, the like of which you will never
see again. The Chairman of the
County Commissioners issued an oruer
to a superior officer, who obeys the
command,, however reluctant, and
sends missives all over the city at an
expense of s ixty cents each to the
County.
