' ,Tlie .Mitchell Tariipike Work ProfressiHi Finely Proposed . Barbecue autl Uh J uljr Celeb ration, We are trnly glad to learn that tbe work on the Mitchell Turnpike road leading from Morgan ton to Cranberry Iron Works and Bakersville, w. progress jug finely. Several enterprising citizens of Mitchell county have agreed te build a section on tbe Bnrke side which is over a mile long. Mr. O. A. Loven, the prin cipal contractor in a few days will finish grading the road as fur as "Winding Stair Camp." The section from "Co'.d Spring" to ''Low Gap" ht the east end of "liattie&nake Knob" is nearly comple ted, and Mr. Beuj. Barrier is vigorously pushing the work on his two mile section from the eaut end of "Jonas' Ei.;gt" to Mr. Samuel Burner's, and when therie sectious are completed there will remain only two short sections unfia shed on this side of "Jonas' Ridge" and some alight improvements and changes in the old road on the other side, Mr. Iitiven is ff the opinion that the ' road will be completed by the lstof May next and will prohablj cost less than tbe original estimate. The , people of Bnrke and Mitchell counties propose, having a grand barbeoue and celebration on the top of "Jonas' Bidgo" on the sth of July next. The public generally are invited to attend and- view f rum along the roud the grandest scenery the world ever saw. This road opens an outlet for one of tbe finest grain, and . stock produoing sections in tbe United States, aiid welj may the pebpkof Burke and Mitchell counties celebrate the com pletion of this ninch Deeded highway, the cost f wbuh f wi'jcl -a into.msig: i 1 auue, when we Udte unto consiileration "Jn bttafits that wil ha derived, wbiaU Uike bread oast Upon the waters wdl be seen and felt many days hence." Mr. Gabriel Pearoey, Proprietor of the Piedmont Springs, bos just completed a good road from said Springs in tersecting with tbe Mitchell turnpike at Taylor' Lick-log" a distance of two miles, built at his own expense 'Bah for Pearoey.' , Cipt W. M. Winters, one of the road commissioners, to whom we are indebted for a great deal of our Information in regard to the road, says that the comple tion of tbe roud and the barbecue as be fore stated ere fixed facts, and the Cap tain further says "tbat persons attending tbe barbecue can driva a buggy over the entire route, and traveling from Morgan ton, when they reach the moliataiu can , consider that they have traveled over tho worst part of tbe road," Lay up not your treasures in railroads which syndicates buy and thieves sceal, but build good dirt roads which neither i.j iidicates can buy or control nor thieves steal, they are the rands of "your dad dies" and have no high freights, bnt all travel .over free. Show me a section of btmntiy tbat has good churches, school l.cuata and good roods and I will show you a prcopcrous community. At the dose of the war Durham was a wayside stition, to-day it is one'of tbe most flour ishing towns in the South and one of the largest tobacco markets in the world, liood roads leading from the tobacco growing connties of Orange, Caswell, Person and Granvillo to that place, the most accessible poiut on the lailroad, caused capital to locate and center there hence the result. Hickory too fifteen years ago was another wnysido station," to-dsy it is a growing town and does the largest wnolenale trade of any market west of Charlotte. Good reads leading to that point on.lha- railroad from tbe counties of Catawba, Alexander, Caldwell,- Wilkes, Ashe and Watauga induced General Frank Blair had a pretty thorough knowledge of Gen. Grant. It is worth recalling what he said of "the strong man" in 1868; nearly twelve yaors ago, mad before Grant had become Pres ident. Said Gen. Blair: "Grant is ambitious, but he don't show it, and I tell you that if he is elected Presi dent he will set up a monarchy aud es tablish himself Emperor, "A military despotism would be estab lished, and Grant would never leave the White House alive, "The man who established military despotism in ten States hi ready to estub- lisu it in all the States. ' - "I tell you ho ha a policy as much as Bon aparte had! His pohcy is permanent dictatorial power. If you think he has no policy, yon make a great mistake and endanger our country. I do not believe be would consent for the Presidency for four years to resign an oflioe he holds for life. He has no idea of that at all. He baa the military instinct about him." Address, At a meeting of the State Executive Committee of the Democratic Consera tive purty held on 3d day of March, it was resolved to hold a State oo'v'tion of the patty at Raleigh onthe 17th day of June next. The Central Executive Committee m pursuance thereof now call upon the County Committees to perfect their or gnnizrtion and to take the usual steps to hate delegates appointed to represent their respective counties in said Conven tion; and they fnther request the District Committees to cull District Conventions for the purpose of selecting two (2) del egates and thea- alternates to attend the Kutianal Convention which will be held in Cincinnati on the 22d day of June. In these preliminary meeting! we cordial ly invite and urge all good citizens who are deeiroaa of advancing the best inter ests of tlis people to participate, S. A, AoHE, Chairman. 1. J- Litchtobd, Secretary. Raleigh; March 12, 1880. In Alexander county (Miller's town- J ship) one day last week, a mamsge took ! Legislature in extraordinary session, jiw uuuer miner singular circum- staoeea. Mr. . Pink Lsckev and Miss Beltie Miller were tbe high contracting parties and T: A. Hodsoo. Esq.. per formed the ceremoqy. The bride, the groom, tbe magistrate and friends met at a certain point in the woods at a given hour, r.nd on the aide of the road,beneath the branches of the trees, the 'oqnira pronounoed the bans. It is alleged that these surroundings were not' chosen for )he nuptials without cause rthe beinr. according to report, that the groom is a moonshiner and was lying out from the raiders, none of whom were among the invited gnest, Statexoille Landmark. Tilden a Candidate. 1 It is now annoiiDoed authoritatively that Uncle Sammy Tilden is roally a live candidate for the Democratic nomination for the presidency. We do not know where he can count on much strength, but there is no telling what even a dny may bring forth. We believe tliat tbe Democratic nominee will be triumphantly elected, aud as surely inaugurated as the 4th day of next March comes, and we do not believe tbat any but a strong man can be nominated at the Cincinnati con vention. ' . There is a deep-seated conviction in the minds of the people tbat Mr. Tilden was duly and constitutionally elected in 1S79, and it will be hard to convince those who supported him then, that in some way or other, . through errors f omission or commisgjpn, be was respon sible for the failure to be inaugurated . The crime of tbe electoral commission was a political sin which even to this day cries aloud to heaven for vengeance, and one which am never be repeated on the American continent without splitting the Republic into a hundred factions. How much Mr. Tilden or his friends had to do with its formation, when it was supposed Judge David Davis was to be the oJti judge, will never be known. It is now pretty certain that there was some trad ing, and we do not believe that MrT Til den's, nopbew, CoL Pelton, acted without the advice of his chief in tbe matter of the cipher dispatches. The Democratic party demands a man with clean hands, even by imputation, and while the Ob server will cheerfully support Mr. Til den, if nominated, unless 'something turns np of which we are now ignor.iut, he is certainly not our first choice.

It was from her that their son Adolphus took all his romance, and two weeks ago be married a pretty and sentimental young woman entirely for love, and brought ber home to live, that he might help the old mau run the form, though tbe farm was hard ly big enough for two families to run it.

The Gov. regarded the extra session as having been called for a speci fic purpose, and he urged that its dnties would be discharged when it had acttd on the question he bad felt it his duy to present to it in the name aud in the in terest of the people of North Caroline.

I he committee has uot yet heera announced. Caucuses of both houses were held this evening, and it ia saiu that a strong effort is being made by the Republicans tl get up combined opposition to the proposed sale, but the Best informed Democrats think they will simply try to take ad vaufiige of circumstances. wni.o tuere is muuu disagreement a- uiong members of the Legislature about the exaet terms of the s:de, there is au almost universal sentimeut that a sale can and ought to be made, if the purchasers wili agree io such terms and restrictions as wiU pn4w.-t tUa caiztma of thejjo from unjuat discriminations, andgive them reasonable Ireight tariffs.
