Tits Trustees of our State Uni
versity have unanimously elected Col
"W. J. Martin Professor of Natural
History. CoL Martin was a Professor
in the University prior to the war,
and his appointment is an excellent
one. . .
A bold robbery on a railroad train
was committed last Saturday in Mis
souri Six robbers, heavily armed,
entered the cars, killed the conductor
and one passenger, and robbed the
express car of several thousand dol
lars, and then made their escape.
President Garfield is daily im
nrovincr. and his physicians arc hope
ful of his final recovery. He now eats
fiuite heartily, and is gradually re
r
his strength. It is proposed
to have a day of general thanksgiving
throughout the United States at his
escape from a horrible death.
A terrific tornado devastated the
town of New Ulm, in Minnesota, on
last Friday, killing and wounding
fifty or more persons and damag
jpg and destroying about five hun
dred buildings. The scene is said
to have been frightful beyond des
cription. The Senatorial Contest in the New
York Legislature is still slowly drag
ging along, although after several
weeks of balloting one Senator has at
length been elected as Piatt's succes
sor. ConkHng, however, continues
the contest, but it seems to be a hope
Jess one, as his followers decrease
almost daily. Piatt's successor is
Varner Miller, who is a man of ordi
nary ability and entirely uukuown to
the country at largo. This protrac
ted contest is developing a shameful !
condition of legislative corruption, j
and has brought disgrace upon Ameri
can politics.
INTIMIDATING PREACHERS. I
A correspondent of the Anson !
Times in writing an account of an ;
anti-prohibition meeting held at Troy, j
n Montgomery county, states that a j
resolution was passed, " that tiiey j
WOULD NOT SUPPORT ANY MINISTER OF j
THE GOSPEL WHO MADE V8E OF THE PUL- J
HI TO AID THE CAUSE OF PROHIBITION J" I
To be consistent, these Christians (?)
puglit to have resolved that all bibles i
should be burned ! We would sog- j
gest that all the Churches send mis-;
eionaries to those people, for surely !
Jhey need them mere than do the j
Jiejathen in Africa or China. j
We have heard of an individual .
member of a church, here and there, i
becoming angry and threatening to j
withdraw his subscription because his
pastor preached prohibition, but this
is the first instance of a publie meet
ing adopting a resolution attempting
to intimidate God's ambassadors !
Surely the opponents of prohibition
are driven to desperate straits when
they threaten to starve the preachers.
How shameful ! How cowardly ! !
Fortunately for the preacher?, how
ever, these intimidating anti-prohibition
Christians (?) generally pay but
little towards their support, so that a
withdrawal of their subscript i ns
will not be materially felt, and con
sequently tho preachers may continue
to preach prohibition and still live.
The anti-prohibitionists sufficient
ly show their intolerance by thieaten
ing and intimidating the politicians,
but all fairminded persons must ad
mit that they go too far when they
attempt to intimidate the preachers.
Garfield for Prohibition.
Doubtless our Republican readers
would like to know how President
Garfield stands on prohibition, The
Greensboro North State, a strong
Bepublican paper, says :
" The President says he feels mor
tified about the course pursued by
$he Republicans in North Carolina
and is gratified to know that many of
the leading Republicans of both races
have refused to recognize the action
of the Committee and have repudia
ted it. His position is rendered the
more disagreeable because he is com
mitted to the temperance cause in
Ohio in the present campaign, and
must do something in North Caroli
na to fhow his Ohio friends that he
is sincere in his expressions in favor
pf temperance."
A Bandit's Arrest,
A despatch from New Orleans
states that Guiseppe Esposito, alias
Ratfazza, a notorious Italian bandit,
hag been arrested there and is to be
taken to Italy. He is the person
charged with mutilating an English
curate named Rose by cutting his
ears off because the reward deman
ded for his release was not forth
coming. Radazza's presence in the
city has been known for some time
back, but no arrest could be made,
owing to the want of the necessary
extradition papers. He was engaged
running a sloop in the Mexican fruit
trade, and was driving quite a thriv
ing business up tq the moment he
was apprehended.
Oar European Letter.
On the 25th of June our townsman,
Mr. James S. Manning, sailed from
New York for a short visit to Europe.
Before his departure he kindly
promised to favor the Record with
occasional letters, descriptive of his
journey, which we know will be read
with much interest. Yesterday's mail
brousrlit us his first letter, written in
mid ocean, which we herewith pub
lish :
S. S. Ethiopia, Anchor Line, 1
July 4, 1881. j
My Dear Record: I hope that I
shall complete the fulfillment of my
promise to you with as much plaasure
as I begin it. For, now while I write,
the restless waves roll up against our
vessel and are dashed back a mass of
snowy foam. As far as eye can
reach and farther, too the billows
rise and fall. This has been our
scenery for more than a week. Yet we
have felt as secure in this majestic
ship as oue would feel in a boat on
Haw river.
The voyage across tho Atlantic is
long and tedious, though it is lightly
considered by the people of the North:
this is affectation. To enable you to
conceive the distance, I mention these
facts: To make the trip in ten days a
ship must average fourteen miles per
hour without a moment's interrup
tion; no rest, no night; but constant
work and constant day. It is won
derf ul to think of ; but more wonder
ful to see the machinery that does
this work. The engine has the pow
er of 35U0 horses, and requires 18
furnaces to supply it with heat, con
suming in a day from forty to sixty
five tons of coal. The vessel before
leaving New York lays in enough
coal to make the voyage to and
from Glasgow about one thous
and tons. The steamer is 450
feet long and only 30 feet wide.
Ocean steamers are made long and
narrow for speed. The main mast is
75 feet above deck. There are 100
men engaged on the ship this in
cludes sailors, officers, cooks and
waiters; and 300 passengers. Among
these you find men of five or six na
tionalities, the majority of whom have
travelled much and taken tho world
in a kind of "rough and tumble"
way. They are communicative, and
have an extensive experience to com
municate, which relieves somewhat
the monotony of sea life.
Our voyage has not been very
agreeable, so many days have been
foul; no one wishes more heartily for
the bright suns'une and clear weather
than the traveller o'er the seas. Our
bad weather began Tuesday, June
28th, when we entered the famous
Newfoundland fogs. Thoso of your
readers that have studied the in
fluence of the Gulf stream, will re
call the explanation of these fogs.
They were not so dense as I expected
to see them I have seen denser fogs
in Pittsboro and seem to lie in bands.
The next da' we came upon the
Grand Banks of Newfoundland, cele
brated for cod fish. We passed
several smacks engaged in fishing.
These fishermen fill their boats in a
week or ten days. When I saw them
I thought how much some of my
friends at home would enjoy two or
three weeks fishing on this coast. In
the afternoon of the same day began
a storm which lasted until Friday af
ternoon. I saw tho ocean then as
my imagination had painted it, and,
as I desired to see it. I saw it lash
ed into fury by a strong wind the
white-crested billows wash the deck,
the surging waves rolling with angry
look towards us, the surface of the
ocean white with foam. The vessel
reeled and plunged, but propelled by
steam and wind, it dashed through
tho waters like the swallow through
the air. It was a sublime spectacle
one that could bo gazed at for hours
without causing weariness.
Our voyage has not been entirely
uneventful. We have seen porpoises
sporting in frolicsome joy around the
ship, following it, racing in front of
it, reminding one of the fabled dol
phins of Neptune: and whales spout
ing water to the height of ten or
twelve feet, and then disappearing.
We have also had the usual number
of sea-sick travellers, and heard the
"marine disturbances" with the deep
sighs " Oh, my ! oh ! dearie ! I'm so
tired of this." As I have not been
at all sick, I have been able to see
the fun in the sea-sickness of others.
Very few have been as fortunate in
escaping as I. Last night we
had twilight until after 11 o'clock; at
10 it was so blight . I read a book
printed in small typo. In twenty
four hours there are not more than
three hours of darkness. Of course
we have had the comet to gaze at and
have wondered what the astronomers
have made of it sinco we loft New
York.
The most thrilling event of the
voyage I have yet to tell you. You
haye read and, perhaps, heard old
sailors tell of the excitement caused
on a vessel by the cry of "man over
board." It is this that I am to des
cribe. It happened last Monday as
the morning sun was pouring its
flood of golden light upon the sea.
A few early risers were enjoying the
beauty of the scene and the fresh
ness of the morning, when they were
startled to see a man climb the rail
ing of the deck and plunge headlong
into the depths below. It was an
awful act For a moment the spec
tators were speechjess,then they gave
the cry of "man overboard" in such
shouts that brought sailors and offi
cers to see the dreadful fact. A sailor
seized a life preserver and threw it io
the man who was now struggling
hard to save himself, but it fell far
from him, and he could not reach it.
He was become almost a speck on
the surface of the deep, when the
vessel was stopped and a life boat,
rowed by four strong sailors, went to
rescue him from his attempted sui
cide. They reach him living
but exhausted, and strike out for
tho ship. Ths man's brother half
1
from the deck, and informed the sur
geon that his brother had given evi
dence of a disordered mind for several
days. The Captain ordered the in
sane man to be put in chains, and
there he remains now.
The patriotic Americans aboard
have not forgotten that to day is the
4th of July, but have commemorated
it after the usual manner, save the
display of fire works. I hope I have
not wearied you with talking.
J. S. M.
Herrimon on Prohibition.
The Reidsville Times, an anti
prohibition paper, gives the follow
ing account of Judge Merrimon's
speech:
"Mr. Mernmon spoke here Tues
dftv eveninsr on orohibition in the
opera house. His speech was fully
two hours and a half, if not longer,
yet he never weakened, but in voice
and action was as fresh as when he
began. In the great sweep of his
mind with every gesture skilfully
trained to enforcing each prominent
thought he bore the audience with
him. We had never seen mm so
springy and elastic, so earnest and
eloquent, so logical and confident as
with a giant's strength he hurled his
assertions and dared any man step
forward and prove them not true
,:Merriinon wants office!" they say,
said he "Stuff ! Shoo !" he cried,
walking the stage and shaping his
month to the ridiculousness of the
word. He said he had been a pro
hibitionist all his life: if there wasn't
another in the State be was one, and
yet how inconsistent for those who
accused him of wanting office yet
boastincr that prohibition would be
badlv beaten in the State. WThere
was office to come from ?
But he brought the whole audience
to breathless sympathy when, in no
ticing what is so often paid that if a
man don't meddle with liquor it
won't meddle with him, he cried,
"But that is not so ! I have never
meddled with liquor, I have never
drank it, have hardly kept it as medi
cine in my family, and yet it has
meddled with me has made my boy
a wandering vagabond, has broken
mv wife's heart; ves, when I was
! asleep, thinking him at home in the
house, he was being made a drunk
ard in tho bar rooms of Raleigh."
He told of one of tho brightest
meu in the State, his wife as proud
as any in the land, and yet
wife and children had to leave
him on account of liquor; and the
other day Col. Fuller met him in
t l a i l 1.
; -flSUbVUie, nUU UBhlLlg U1U1 11 OW Ub
was, he replied he would never be
' sober again, "hell's in my stomach !'
said he, 'I want a drink givo ine a
! quarter" and Fuller gave him the
j quarter and turned aside from the
; picture.
The "free country business he
drew from lifo in the picture of an old
Harnett county farmer whose son
had brought cotton to Raleigh and
sold it for two limit red
the sharpers got him in a bar-room
" . I
j ou
AVilmingtou street got him drunk, i
1 him drank two diVs and nights !
i in the lockup, and his money gone. S
i The old farmer came to him and Col.
Fuller to oQ if they couldn't recover !
thft mrnv for him Thpv tnld him i
no. "My, God ! crentlemen! said
the old man, throwing up his hands,
"You call this a free country and
yet no redress for such an outrage
as this 1" He told this at Durham,
and a man in the crowd said exactly
a similar case had happened to a
countryman from too much liquor
there. Now he wanted the farmers
of Rockingham to vote prohibition
so that tbeir sons could como to
Reidsville and sell their tobacco with
out the fear of getting drunk and
losing their money.
The Saturday evening drinking he
made a point on in his appsal to the
manufacturers. He mentioned a
certain doctor in Raleigh who, as the
holidays approached last year, told
him he would have no more festivals
at his house, that he had become a
Prohibitionist from looking on at the
motley crowds that gathered on Wil
mington street every Saturday and
hung around the bar-rooms in drunk
enness and disorder. He knew that
in this town, as n all manufacturing
towns there must be rows and dis
orders, crowded streets and drink
ing and swearing from the Saturday
evening crowds that cpend their
wages ia grog. How different it
would be with prohibition, the money
would go to their wives and children.
He said the law had as much right
to break up bar-rooms that made
drunkenness as to break up mill
ponds that caused sickness. No man
had the right to get drunk. Every
man owned it to society to surren
der everything in him to govern
ment that was at war with the peace
and happiness of his neighbors.
As to the Bill, it was a law, it was
only whether the penalty should be
enforced. Even should the people
vote it down, it would still stand a
law, though inoperative, but the
trouble would likely be with civil
questions of law, a man for instance
could refuse to pay money for liquor
sold to him because of the law pro
hibiting it, and the question could
only be decided in the court.
He made a strong point on the
subject of rights, namely : If it was
right to prohibit the sale of liquor
on Sundays and election days there
was no more harm in shutting up
the rest of the year.
But he got the politicians and the j
1 i 1 -rr '
newspapers in a Deauuiui way. lie
said the preachers didn't start the
movement, and the politicians and
the newspapers didn't start it. Oh,
no, said he, sidling behind a wing
of the stage and hiding himself,
"they are behind the curtain"--pop-ping
his head out and will stay
there till tliey see which way the
popular current runs, then they will
be the loudest of all. The crowd
roared. It was well done."
in a stupor watcnea tins scene
Guiteau's Plans for Shooting
the President. ,
District Attorney Corkhill .has
furnished and authorized the pub
lication of a statement of the cir
cumstances attending the attempted
assassination of the President as de
rived from Guiteau himself and from
other authentic sources as follows :
"The interest felt by the public in
the details of the assassination and
the many stories published justify me
in stating that the following is a cor
rect and accurate statement concern
ing ihe points to which reference is
made : The asassin. Charles Guiteau,
came to Washington city on Sunday
evening. March 6, 1881, and stopped
at the Ebbitt House, remaining only
one day. He then secured a room
in another part of the city, and has
boarded and roomed at various places,
the full details of which I have. On
Wednesday, May 18, 1881, the assas
sin determined to murder the Presi
dent. Ho had neither money nor
pistol at the time. About the last
of May be went, into O'Moara store,
corner of Fifteenth and F streets, in
this city, and examined some pistols,
asking for the largest caliber. He
was shown two similar in caliber
and only different in price. On
Wednesday, June 8, he purchased
the pistol which he used, for which
he paid $10, he having in the mean
time borrowed $16 of a gentleman in
this city, on the plea that he wanted
to pay his board bill. On the same
evening, about seven o'clock, ho took
the rjistol and went to the foot of
Seventeenth street, and practiced,
firing at a board, firing ten shots.
He then returned to his boarding
place, and wiped the pistol dry and
wrapped it in his coat, and waited
his opportunity. On Sunday morn
ing, June 12, he was sitting in La
fayette Park, and saw the President
leave for the Christian Church, on
Vermont avenue, and he at once re
turned to his room, obtained his
pistol, put it in his hip pocket and
followed the President to church ; he
entered tho church, but fouud he
could not kill him there without
danger of killing some one else. He
noticed that the President sat near
a window; after church he made an
examination of tho window and found
he could reach it without killing
any one else. The following Wed
nesday he went to the church, ex
amined the locations and the window,
and became satisfied ho could accom
plish his purpose, and he determined,
therefore, to make the attempt at the
church the following Sunday. He
loirned from tho papers that tho
President would leave the city on
Saturday, the ISthof June, with Mrs.
Garfield for Long Branch: he thc-re-
fore determined to meet him at the
depot. He left his boarding place
j about 5 o'clock Saturday morning,
, June IS, and went down to the river
j at the foot of Seventeenth street, and
i fired five shots, to practice his aim
j aud be certain hi3 pistol was in good
j order. He then went to tho depot,

i think United States Marshal Henry,
i went out for a ride. The assassin
took his pistol and followed them,
and watched them for some time, in
hopes the carriage would stop, but
no opportunity was given. On Fri
day evening, July 1, he 'was sitting
on a seat in tho park opposite the
White House, when he saw the Presi
dent come out alone; ho followed
him down the avenue to Fifteenth
street, and then kept on the opposite
side of the street up Fifteenth, until
the President entered the residence
of Secretary ISlaine. He waited at
the corner of Mr. Morion's late resi
dence, corner Fifteenth aud H, for
some time, and then, as he was afraid
he would attract attention, he went
into the alloy in the rear of Mr, Mor
ton's residence, examined his pistol
and waited. The President and
Secretary Blaine eame out together
and he followed them over to the gate
of the White House but could get no
opportunity to us8 his weapon. On
the morning of Saturday, July 2,
he breakfasted at the Riggs House
about seven o'clock. He then walk
ed up into the park ano sat there
for an hour. He then took a
one-horse avenue car and rode to
Sixth street, got out and went into
the dGpot and loitered around there,
had his shoos blacked, engagod a
backman for $2 to take him to the
jail, WGut into the water closet and
took his pistol out of his hip-pocket
and unwrapped the paper from
around it, which he had put there
for the purpose of preventing the
perspiration from the body dampen
ing the powder, examined his pistol
carefully, tried the trigger and then
returned and took his seat in the
ladies' waiting-room, and as soon as
the President entered advanced be
hind him and fired two shots. These
facts, I think, can be relied upon as
accurate, and I give them to the pub
lie to contradict certain false rumors
in connection with this most atro
cious crime."
