Persons who want office can well afford to pay. The State Legislature and Pub lic Schools. During the session of the late Democratic Legislature, a bill was introduced proposing to authorize the sale of a number of Stato lots in I tho city of Raleigh, and appropri- ating the proceeds of the sale to the University. On the second reading of the bilU Ir. J. T. Brown, a Re publican member of the House of Representatives from Davidson county, offered an amendment to appropriate the money received from the lots to the public schools instead of the University. A vote was taken on Mr. Brown's amend ment, and resulted in a tie 00 mem bers voting for ami 50 agftinst it. Mr. Robinson, the Danocratic Speaker, gave the casting vote against giving the money to the public schools, and thus defeated the amendment. Every Republican member pres ent, except three, voted to give the I money to the public scnoois, ana every Democratic member, except six, voted against it. Mr. Lutterloh, tho Republican member from Cumberland, moved that the monev realized from the sale of the lots should not be used to pay old mortgages on tho Uni versity, and the Democrats voted it dotrn. Mr. Goodwyn, a Republican member from Halifax, moved that the money thus realized should be applied to the education of one or more students at the University from each coimty of the State free of clianre. and the democrats voted it doxen. The vote on this bill shows how the Republicans stood up for public schools and the education of the poor children of the State, while the Democrats stood up for the University, and voted against al lowing the money to be used to pay the tuition of poor boys at the Uni versity. See page 41)3 House Journal, 1S73 and 1ST4 for proof of the above. I Dr. Palemon John, the veteran tnlitor of the North Carolinian, knows how to run a newspaper He says: The charge is being made in certain quarters that we are too mild in our denunciations of the Democracy; that we do not "pitch in" as severely as we should. Gen tlemen ! we claim to publish a dig nified. high-toned and honorable political newspaper. While we are Republican fair, square and un compromising we do not propose to bo a blackguard. We shall stand by our party, defend its principles, and support its nominees, but we propose doing so in our own way, without submitting to any dicta tion. Those who expect us to sac riflco our self-respect by indulging In bitter partisan vituperation and vulgar personal abuse will be doomed to disappointment. Satire and sarcasm are legitimate and sometimes of service, but our prin cipal weapons will be facts, figures, arguments. This is our answer to a few letters received the past two weeks. 'V-V' The following .Republicans have been nominated for tho General Assembly : Pasnuotank : Wi ' J. Mundcn; Perquimans; J. Q. A. " A Sanctimonious Carpet-bagger. The woman who has voluntarily abandoned virtue's ways the sol dier who has deserted his flag the pilot wha forsakes the wheel in the hour of peril the shepherd who leaves his flock to the wolves, are saints compared with the preacher who descends from the pulpit to the arena of politics, who quits the pur suit of holiness for the more excit ing chase after the Almighty Dol lar, and flings his ministerial robes aside that he may array himself in the garb of public office. Yet such a character is a dove when put in comparison with that abominable fungus growth upon the American body politicthe Reverend carpet-bagger. The infamous Brooks who, through greed of office, has plunged Arkansas into civil war and shed the blood of scores of men, is a man of this stamp. He was Chaplain to a negro regiment during the war. He left his flock of colored sheep and went into politics. The country will rejoice that President Grant has ordered the apostate wretch to disband his army of negro ruffians, and go home. The above is from the Charlotte Observer, a Democratic newspaper. When it is borne in mind that this same "infamous Brooks" was the Democratic candidate for Governor of Arkansas, the fact is apparent that the pbseryer, has jjrossly. slan dered a representative of his own party, or that there are some ras cals in the 'Democratic party. If what the Observer says about Brooks is so, and we have no reason to doubt it, thev're actually got an "apostate wretch" in their party, and all the Democrats in Arkansas have been voting for him for the first office In the State. Republicans of the Albemarle Country. That sterling Republican journal, the Elizabeth City North Oaroli- nian, of May 13th, comes to us filled to overflowing with proceedings of rousing Republican meetings and conventions. The Republican hosts in Currituck, Camden, Dare, Perquimans, Hertford, Bertie, AfQ.fi Tflcnfnir n,i retJ Martin, Pasquotank and Gates have rallied as one man under the "flag of the Union," and announce themselves ready for the coming campaign. The counties of Pitt, Bertie, Hert- ford, Gates, Martin, Pasquotank, Currituck and Dare, (9 votes) have i i i : : f T'T"011"" , lion. u. iu. odd ; i-erquimans ana In repiy to a demand for my au Camden for Col.

It was thought that Beaufort and Washington will bedivided between Messrs. Cobb and Moore. The Congressional , nominating Convention will beheld at Plymouth on the 21st. The Judicial Convention for the First District will be held at Hert ford, Perquimans county, on the 17th of June. The indications are that Judge Albertson and Solicitor Bagley will be nominated almost by acclamation. In all their denunciations of ras cality and corruption, is it not a little singular that the Democrat ic newspapers of the btate have never uiougm it necessary w say a i a a -w-v . anything against the Democratic Sheriff of Jackson, who pocketed the entire taxes of that county. forged the name of the State Treas urer to a bogus receipt for taxes and absconded. Neither have these Democratic papers found nny space in their col umns to denounce the Damocratic Sheriff of Graham county, who is now serving out a term in the Al bany penitentiary for the crime of counterfeiting. i The University of North Carolina was for a long time the pride of the State, but those persons who have been taught by Democrats to be lieve that nothing good can come from beyond the limits of this State, and that it i3 horrible to think of Yankees teaching southern boys out of northern school books may be somewhat shocked to learn, that at the beginning of the war only two or three Professors in the University were natives of the South and that a majority of them were from the North and Europe. The Elizabeth City North Caroli nian says: It Is estimated that one and three-quarter million of shad have been taken from our Albe marle fisheries this season. The fisheries along the Pasquo- tank Walker's, Perry's and Dr. Pool's are still in operation. On Monday morning last the latter caught 40,000 herring. jLAiu i t it ajcxuc -iao duccuio i that Judge Watts postponed the near ing or the li quori nj unrtton un- til iMay loth, so that the editors of tre State in attendance on the Press AissociHtion raiPTir nnvp nn onnnr- tanity of testing the strencrth of the corn" in this city. The Memorial Association of Il linois has decided to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers in that State, as well as those of the Union soldiers. What Southern memorial association will respond to this motion from the Northern ide of tho "chasm?" Republican Meeting in Carey Township. A Republican meeting was held at Carey, Wake county, on Satur day, the Oth inst. Elani Hannon presided, and Paldo Young was secretary. Delegates were appointed to the Congressional Republican Convention for this Districted they were instructed to cast the vote for Col. Isaac J. Young as the first dioice of that township for Congress. In another column will be found a number of choice extracts from Spel man's Blasting . Powder. A friend sends them to the Era and wants to know if such sentiments entitle men to office at the hands of President Grant. The Convention of the 2nd Judi cial District was held at Williams ton on the 8th. The vote for Judge stood for Hon. Louis Hilliard, and 2 for Hon. W. A. Moore. J. J. Martin, Esq., was nominated for Solicitor. See the proceedings of Republican meetings in "Chatham, Tyrrell, Wake and Wilson, in this week's paper. See to it that the majority of your nominees for County Commission ers have a knowledge of finances. CORRESPON DENCE. It must not be understood that Thr Era endorses the sentiments of its correspond ents in every instance. Its columns are open to the friends of the party, and their communication will be given to the public as containing the views and sentiments of the writers. A Card. To the Editor of the Era : Some of the Democratic journals of the State arechanrincr that I said in a public speech, at Halifax, that certain leaders of the Democratic party met at the house of Geo. W. Swepson, in Raleigh, and raised a fnnri to oatahliah th cirpopnt vr vr ond charfipdthat Trpnpntpd nr told alle in making the statement. In rePy J have to say, in the first place, that I made no such state- ment. What 1 did say was this : that it was a rumor in Raleigh, that Messrs. Merrimon, Fuller, Ashe,Gen. Ransom and other Demo- cratic leaders, met at the house of Af- f irm W n-ovorr In Ttaa,r and pledged twenty thousand dol- lars to conduct the State campaign, That they further decided to en uuiac uio wmwii, a.r inc tuunoi organ of their party. mor, a gentleman whose integrity couiu noi ue uuuuieu, imu ujuiu; uie statement to me as coming from Mr. J. S. Hampton, the proprietor and publisher of the Orescent. Gen. Cox and Mr. Pool then contradict ed the rumor, ana i saia i was clad they had done so, as the gen tlemen named were personal friends of mine and I was lothe to believe such thinea of them, but that it came very straight. I have seen no contradiction of the statement by the gentlemen mentioned as be- ing present. In the second place, as the Demo crats are so sensitive upon this sub ject, and in order to get at the truth of the facts concerning the estab lishment of the Crescent, I call upon the proprietor of that journal to say whether he is willing that certain persons whom he approached about the time or just before he became proprietor, shall be free to make public certain confidential state- " " .v : , rT." i iii cij in lie AJLlclU w r A sXJ.

Mr. Hampton, will readily understand to what I allude. Will he remove the obsta cles in the way of making public what the plans were ? I wait for a reply. THOS. R. PURNELL. Raleigh, May 15th, 1874.

Republican Meeting in Tyrrell. At a County Convention held in the town of CoIumbia,and county of Tyrrell, on the Oth of May 1874, by the Republicans of , Tyrrell, the meeting being called to order by tho Chairman of the County Exec utive Committee, on motion, Mr. Eli Spruill was made Chairman and A. J. Pennington , appointed Secretary. The Chairman explain ed the object of the Convention in brief and eloquent remarks to be to appoint , delegates to the Congress ional and Senatorial Conventions to be held in Plymouth, on the 21st inst., and to the Judicial Convention at Hertford, on the 10th of June! On motion,, five were appointed as a committee to draft resolutions and report delegates to the said Conventions. - The Committee re ported through their Chairman, Mr. Arthur.Spruill, who, upon the presenting, made a thrilling and eloquenVepeech in support of the resolutions:.; - i2esorfcIat we, the Repub licans of; Tyrrell county in Con vention assembled, do heartily en dorse the administrations of Presi dent Grant, and Governor Cald well. Resolved, That the act passed by the. last Congress, commonly known as the salary bill, by which each member of Congress drew $5, 000, from the Treasury, was a breach of a moral contract by each member so voting, with his constituents, and was corrupt in its influence: Therefore, we,the Republicans of Tyrrell, take, this, the first opportunity, in convention assembled, to denounce the -same, and those who sustained it. Resolved. That having entire confidence In the integrity and abil ity of Dr. Edward Ransom, of Tyr- re 11 county, we cordially recom- mend him to the Republicans of this District as our candidate for Consrress. and the delegates from this county to the Congressional Convention are hereby instructed to give him their united support in said Convention. itesoivea, xnat we nearuiy en- dorse Judge Albertson and Solicitor Bagley, and hereby recommend them to the people of this, the first Judicial District for re-election, be- Upvlno thflt in thfim Wft Will find impartial, able and efficient officers in the future as we have in the past.

K. Democratic candidate, was present, and Mr. Purnell divided time with him. We can only give a synopsis oi tne speecnes. Mr. Purnell dealt the Democratic-Con servative party some heavy blows.

He urged in eloquent terms the necessity of educating the children of the country and foster- ingand maintaining the free schools in every township in North Caro lina that knowledge was wealth. and the past Indicates, beyond per- adventure, that the only party that the people of this great common wealth can look to or expect to ed ucate their children is the Repub-" lican party, which is the only party that ever existed in this country and is still opposed to popular edu- rauou. ne snoweu irum uie retmu that they had done everything pos- si ble to destroy the free school sys- tem and break down the common schools.

His speech was char-1 acteristic of the bitterness, proscrip tion, and malignity of himself and his party. Almost his entire time was consumed in discussing Sum ner's Civil Rights BiUV which has not, yet passed Congress, and Jn abusing the colored people of East ern North Carolina and inciting the white against the colored race. He boasted of his war record and admitted that be was! a bitter war man. His speech was not upon the issue of the campaign J He did not enlighten the people upon the sub ject of education. He impressed our citizens with what the Raleigh '.Etor said of him (he is an old fogy fossil of a by-gone age.) He closed with what was intended to be a pathetic picture of the last days of the Confederacy, but its beauty was marred by the treachery of the Colonel's memory, for he had to refer to his manuscript and read from that to the chagrin of his Democratic hearers. Mr. Purnell then replied and showed conclusive ly how untenable was the position of his competitor. Mr. Purnell made a fine impression upon our people. Hi3 was an able and digni fied speech. We confidently pre dict for him a triumphant election. He may expect a rousing majority in this county, his adopted home. - Winston Republican. Republicans vmust be blind, in deed, not to discover signs of disor ganization on the part of their po litical opponents. The Democratic Whitr-Conservative leaders "are in real distress, and their editors rave about " independent" candidates, calling them all sorts of bad names. Says the Raleigh Neics, "The man who raises the standard of indepen dent candidature in revolt to the decision of his party conventions, is either a traitor to his professions of party fealty, or exhibits a disgust ing lust for office." Just so. But the fact is there as so many highly intelligent and virtuous gentlemen belonging to the Democratic-Whig-Conservative party, that there are not offices enough to go around ; and there must necessarily be some escape-valve for pent-up ambition. The " hvdra-headed monster of Radicalism," (as the News calls us,) is likely to achieve still further suc cesses ; for notwithstanding we Re publicans wrangle a little at odd times, we close up our ranks when an election approaches. Republi cans ought to be proud of their or ganization and discipline, which carries terror into the ranks of their political foes. New North State. Rcpublican District Convention for the 7th District. The Republican District Conven tion to nominate a candidate for Congress from the 7th District, has been called to assemble at Yadkin ville, on the 16th of June, next. A full representation is desired. The Republicans of the District, says the Surry Visitor, have an abundance of good material out of which to make selection, and all gentlemen of talents and excellent qualifications. The names that we have seen referred to are : Hon. R. L. Patterson, Dr. J. J. Mott, D. M. Furches, Esq., Col. Thos. B. Long, Col. Thos. J. Dula, Hon. S. Trivett, Dr. W. H. Wheeler, John M. Brower, Esq., A. H. Joyce. Esq., Dr. J. G. Ramsay, and perhaps others. Either of these gentlemen are eminently worthy of the confidence and suffrages of the people, and being in accord with the Govern ment, would render their Congres sional duties more serviceable to their section and State. The Bender Family. Kansas people are mystified over the wretched old man who was cap tured in the mountains of Utah.and placed in jail at Topeka on the sup position that he is old Bender, the father of the family of murderers who made a cemetery of their yard in Western Kansas. Some persons who knfiw tho man nrfi nosifi vfi that the captive is he ; others are equally certain that it is not. and mean- while he waits in prison, rarely opening HIS 11US iu spea& anu say inS hins that would be available as a clue to his identity.

The detectives have their professional reputation, us well as a large amount of money ut stake, and they are bringing wit nessess from far and near to look at the taciturn, gray-headed man in prison. Desperate and Fatal Duel Be tween Two Girls. It is related that two girls in the Royal tobacco factory at Madrid recently Kiiiea each other in a hand-to-hand contest. The mode adopted by the combatants was as romantic as it was barbarous. The antagonists, who were about twen- cy years oia, ana remarkably hand- accompanied by certain of theircom rades, to a village some four or five miles distant, where they break fasted sumptuously at different ta- hi Po Thp rfnuir; Mnr lol thounlnsfwl the window curtains, stripped mHrnseives io tne waist, nnn r- quested their friends to leave the attacked each other with their na- vajas, and slashed and thrust until both fell to the floor mortally wounded.

A popular young man of this county nearly twelve months ago, : whilst enjoying his usually robust health, was suddenly afflicted with an almost entire loss of voice, ao that he could with difficulty con verse with his friends in whispers. Shortly after this,;, while riding from Harrisonburg to his homo in company with a friend, he was suddenly entirely deprived of t tho use of his voice, and from that day until some ten days si nce,he has been compelled to use a slate in his com munications with the rest of the world. On Sunday, 29th ult., and while the family were in the sitting room, he went out to wash in the porch. On returning, he said "good morning," and clapped his hand to his throat, his countenance indicat inggrearexcitementand alarm. He was near fainting, but catching by the door, was supported to a chair by his brother, where, after sitting a few minutes, he recovered ami got up and walked out, Since that f time he has been able to talk and j has been in good health; Indeed during tho whole of his affliction; except for a short time, his health was very good. He reports that at the time his voicovreturnedejind.. a sensation as If something was iifc ing pulled out of his throat and a board struck against both sides of his head. Greasing Buggies and Wngons. Greasing buggies and wagons is of more importance than some im agine. Many a wheel is ruined by oiling too plentifully. A well made wheel will endure constant wear from ten to twenty years, if care is taken to use the right kind and proper amount of oil; but if this matter is not attended to, the wheel will bo used up in five or six years, or it may be soouer. Lard should never be used on a wagon, for it will penetrate the hub, and work its way around the tendons df tho spokes and spoil the wheel. Castor oil is a good material for use on an iron axle; just oil enough should be applied to a spindle to give it a light coating; this is better than more, for the surplus put on will work out at the onus, and be forced by the shoulders and nut Into the hub around the outside of the boxes. To oil the axletree, first wipe tho spindle clean with a cloth wet with turpentine, if it won't wipe without it. On a buggy or carriage, wipe and clean off tlie back and front ends of the hubs, and then apply a very small quantity of castor oil, or more especially prepared lubrica tor near the shoulder's point. The Danville Register says the contractors on the Lynchburg and Danville road are now laying tho track between Banister river and Cartervilie. This approaches so near Danville, that the good people are talking of the coming celebra tion and will make ample prepara tions for it. Fourth Congressional District Convention.
