We learn that .a Presiding Eld r of
the.Mcthodist church west of here was
recently accosted by a Democratic
lawyer and charged with advocating
the election of Buxton and ornosine
that of Jarvis from the pulpit The
uuuiBteriueuieu u. iip etua ne Bimpiy
preached on the occasion referred to,
as his text led him, against sin in all
its forms, and closed by exhorting his
hearers, in the selection of public of
ficers, to vote for none but virtuous,
upright and tobcr men, as a means of
advancing the cause of morality and
religion. This, it seems, was construed
into opposition to Jarvis. ,

3en. Barringer met his competitor,
James L. Robinson, during his recent -canvass
in Ithe West, and arraigned
him for charging the State triple
mileage when he went to Raleieh to
take his seat in the Senate. This- he
could not and did not deny. Such is
the man the retrenching and reform
ing Democracy have nominated for the
high office ot Lieutenant-Governor of
the State.
