One individual, however, fared rath er badly for coming into the court room very drunk. He made a dis turbance and was at once sent to jail for twenty-four hours, in which time he might cool off and ruminate upon the vanity of earthly pleasures. It is needless to add that no other person disturbed the court after this exam ple. The following negroes were con victed of larceny and sentenced to the penitentiary, viz : W. H. Mason, for five years, (having recently served a term of five years) ; Abe Hackney for three years, and Bragg Jackson for two years. By an act of the last leg islature all convicts from this county are sent to work on the Western R. 11., now being completed from Egypt to Greensboro, so that the more con victs we have, the sooner our road will be finished. The most interesting case tried on the civil docket was that of Henley j . . . , , : j -- o , urday morning, and the jury retiring at a late hour Tuesday night. This was an action brought by Stephen Henley against J. C. & J. S. Wilson for the possession of the land upon which the Wilsons had erected a mill on Haw River, and also for damages caused thereby to his (Henley's) mill, on the opposite bank. The case was tried at Spring Term 1877, and a verdict rendered for the plaintiff with $300, damages, but an appeal being taken to the supreme court, a new trial was granted. There were very many witnesses examined, and much interest manifested. The jury remained in session all night, and were not able to agree until yes- ierdav mnrnin ro1r, fW t.l ! a verdict in favor of the plaintiff The business on the State docket was finished on Wednesday of the first week, but the grand jury were not discharged until Saturday, hav ing transacted a large amount of bus iness. We hear that a number of overseers of roads were presented, so lookout and "mend your ways." Tae jury were discharged late yesterday afternoon, but the Judge will remain here until to-morrow afternoon hearing arguments on points of law. He will then leave for Franklinton, where on Saturday he will hear the case of the Magistrates of Granville. His Honor has cer tainly worked hard, and dispatched a vast amount of business, but still there will be some undisposed of. The jury in a case last week was "hung" and could not agree, until they had spent the night together. It was the night immediately after the first issue of The Record, and it is said, the cause of their not agree ing earlier, was that one of their number had a copy of our paper in his pocket, and that they became so much interested in reading it, that they were unwilling to separate until each one had read it through.

How are the mighty fallen ! In the case or State vs. Ned Custis (the negro charged with injuring the horse of David Turner, Esq.,) an affi davit was filed by the defendant that he could not have a fair trial in this county, and on motion of his counsel, the case was removed to Guilford. This removal will subject to much inconvenience many of our citizens who are witnesses, and will put the ! county to a heavy bill of costs, as was done in the case of James Gil bert, which was removed to Harnett last year upon a similar affidavit. In the name of the tax-payers of Chat ham we must protest against run- nmg our county to such unnecessary i costs. We believe that anv man can i have as fair a trial here as anywhere, and this removal of cases is an insult to, and a calumny upon our juries. It has been frequently remarked by lawyers attending our court, that no where have they seen more intelli gent and fair-minded jurors than in Chatham. Of coarse, no blame can be attached to the judfje, because of me removal oi a case. County lSx. Committor. We publish in to-day's pajer a correct list of the members of our Executive Committee in all the Townships of the county. They are all good and true men, and we hope they will be active in seeing that every voter in his township is regis tered, and comes to the polls, and casts his ballot for Joseph J. Davis. A good deal depends upon the activ ity and zeal of the various township committees, and much is expected from them. We would advise some of our youn ! friends, who may desire to perambulate our city after the gas has been turned off, to , procure lue services o an experieucea aud thereby save themselves consid erable inconvenience. Orange Presbytery. The regular semi-annual session of the Orange Presbytery will be held at Haywood, commencing at 11 A. M., on Thursday next.

Uaitijst ,Aifsocijvtioii, The Sandy Creek Association will hold their annual meeting at Em maus church (seven miles northwest of Pittsboro) on next Thursday, 3d of October, and will probably remain in session several days. This is a large and influential body, and its session will doubtless be attended by hundreds of our people who will be well entertained by the hospitable citizens of that neighborhood. Tlio State Faiix-. We are under obligations to Capt. C. B. Denson, the accomplished Secretary of the Agricultural Socie ty, for a complimentary ticket to the next State Fair, to be held on the 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th days of October next. This Fair promises to be the most successful ever yet held, and offers great attrac tions to all who may attend. One of the chief attractions will be the grand military display of about thir ty companies of the State Guard. Hon. Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio, will be present and deliver the annu al address.

Collections for the benefit of the yellow fever sufferers were taken up at the Metho dist and Episcopal churches of this place, and quite a handsome sum obtained. The amount collected at the Methodist church being $12.50, and at the Episcopal $52.74. We have not yet heard of any collections being made at any of the churches in the county for this most charitable object, but hope that tby also will at once do so.

I1V MEMOKIA3H, The following beautiful lines were writ ten by Mrs. Joanna Rogers, of this place, in memory of Mrs. Mary Anna Hendrick, wife of James W. Hendrick, Esq., of Meck lenburg county, Vs., and only daughter of the late Dr. W. F. Berry. She left us last December a happy bride and the pride of a widowed mother, with, bright hopes, but alas, only to find an early grave: 1 saw her stand in her bridal hour, Like the early snow on a beautiful flower, In the sheen of her misty array ; With the shining crown of her raven hair Bent 'neath the blessing that rested there ; She passed from xay sight away. And I saw her no more, she was far away Ere the dying fall of another day, This fair and childlike bride. And they Bay that she faded away from sight As the stars grow dim in the morning light; And in all her young loveliness died. And mine, per chance, are but idle dreams, But just as I saw her last it seems, She stands in her beauty there, As she turned away from the altars's side, With her brierht head bowed 'neath her new-born pride, And a smile like a wordless prayer. Friends, is it you or I that dream7? Has she not gone like the sun's last gleam, As it fades in the twilight away, Far from this shadowy world of ours. To a land of sunshine and fadeless flowers, A land of unclouded day ? Agricultural Statistics.

IT ELD AT RALEIGH ON THE 22D OF ATT GUST, 1878. We re affirm our adherence to the time honored principles of the Democratic party, and iu the interest of ourselves and of our posterity, denounce all monopolies, high taxed, and all extravagance and waste in the expenditure of the people's money. We denounce the contraction of the curren cy, the heartless and unpatriotic policy of the Republican administration making the rich richer and the poor poorer, which has CAnsed a stagnation of business, destroyed the prosperity of the country, thrown thous ands out of employment, and reduced mil lions to penury and want. We denounce the demonetization of silver by the Republican party in the interest of the capitalists and the bond-holders ; and we congratulate the country on the suc cessful efforts of the Democratic party to restore silver to its legitimate uses even over the veto of a Republican President. We demand the retirement of the circu lation of the National Banks, the substitu tion therefor of greenbacks, whose volume should be regulated by the requirements of trade and business ; and the repeal of the tax on State Banks, leaving their organiza tion to the people of the different States, and we explicitly demand the repeal of the Resumption Act. We demand a repeal or modification of the Revenue system, so that it shall not dis criminate against "Southern industries ; a reduction of the tax on tobacco and a mod ification of the onerous tax on the diatilla- tion of fruit.: a tariff for reuenue only and not for the purpose of building up northern manufacturers at the expense of the South ; and we favor a tax on incomes of two thousand dollars and over, thereby light ening the buidens of labor and making capital pay its just proportion of public duea. We denounce corruption in office where everit exists the higher the place the greater the crime ; and .we call upon the people at the polls to punish the infamous electoral fraud by which the people of the United States were deprived ot their right to elect their President. Finally, we congratulate the people of the Union on the overthrow of the party of hate with its corruptions and oppressions, and upon the triumph of that policy of conciliation and fraternal kindness which the Democratic party has so long and so persistently advocated.
