THE LANDMARK. JOS. P. CALDWELL, Editor and. Proprietor. Enterid at thi Post Offici at Statis t ills, n. c-, as skcond-class hattih FRLDAT, : ;:: JUNE 11, 1880. .: NOTICE.;: The convention for the purpose of selecting a Democratic candidate for Congress and one for elector, for the 7th congressional district will be held in.. YadkhroHe on Thursday, the 5th OAj uf August, 1880. Wm. H. H.Covles, Chni'n Deni. Ex. Com. TO CINCINNATI. The delegates Jirom the various counties comprising the 7th congres sional district to the State convention are requested to meet at the Yarboro House in Raleigh at 8 o'clock p. m. on the night of the 17th of June for the purpose of appointing delegates to the national convention at Cincinnati on June 22nd, 1870. ' - Wm. H. H. Cowles, Chni'u Dem. Ex. Com. 7th Cong. Dist. ri COl'NT CONVENTION. The convention of the Conservative- Democratic party, of Iredell county, which was held at the court house here : iat Saturday, was, in the manner of ,cs conduct and in its general results, all that the best friend and well-wisher of the party could have desired. There was a notably full representa tion from the several townships and great good feeling prevailed. The primaries had been well attended, the best men in each township had been sent forward to the county convention, aud it is not surprising, therefore, that the result reflected public sentimeut so accurately. From first to last there was no suggestion, in any part of the proceedings, of any unfairness the vote on nearly every proposition was taken by ballot, and in no instance was any eflort made to take "snap judgment" on the people. Every pro position was fairly submitted and dis- cussed, and the chosen representatives of the people then came forward and cast their ballots for the men and the measures of their choice. If, there fore, in any case public sentiment was not faithfully voiced it must have been the lault ol. the people themselves in not knowing their own minds when lliey chose their delegates. The endorsement which our present efficient corps of county officers receiv ed at the hands of the convention, was ol the most flattering character. Their re-uomination by acclamation was liiuli tribute to their fidelity and capaci i v. and a tribute which it is but truth to say was capitally well deserved The nomination' of Messrs. Gaither and Click for the House was a re-af firmation of public confidence in two gentlemen who have faithfully served the interests of the people at Raleigh, Mr. Gaitber's popularity has been for years established, and the presents tion of his name before the convention was the guaranty of his nomination while the naming of Mr. Click as one of the candidates was an act of justice which we have long felt was eminent ly due a deserving public servant who has had the nerve to disregard a tern porary clamor and to do his duty like a full grown man. ; . But if any feature of the day's pro ceedings was more gratifying than an other, it was the manner in which the senatorial nomination was thrust upon Mr. T. S. Tucker. He was not only . not a candidate but was the warm sup porter of another gentleman ; he not only begged that bis friends withdraw his name, but he took the floor and seconded,' warmly, the nomination of another candidate. 'After presidio.; over' the convention for more than an hour, in a hot and crowded room he vacated the chair, left the building for a time, and returned to find him self the nominee. His nomination was the result of a spontaneous popu lar demand. It was a case in which the office sought and laid hold on the man, against his efforts to fight it off, and, it was pleasant to see the people draft into public service a good and useful man who shunned rather than sought position at their bands. The delicate and complicated mat ter of the congressional choice was met and disposed of without clash and on a basis of judicial fairness,' each of the." distinguished gentlemen . most prominent for the nomination being credited with the exact proportion of strength to which the convention de clared him entitled. . The county declared its preference for Various of the State offices with marked unanimity, and instructed for Gov. Jarvis by a vote nearer to absolute- unanimity than any of his sup porters here have ever claimed for him.' 1 All in all the convention did an ex cellent work and silenced by its fair ness the voice of all carpers. It was a body worthy of the sturdy men Iredell, and its proceedings will meet the approbation-of the people in every section of the county, while its open ness, harmony and conspicuously rep resentative character give an earnest of the overwhelming endorsement which will crown its labors in Nov em . The question which agitates us is whether the Raleigh Post is most in tent upon bulling Jule Carr ot advei- tising Blackwell'8 smoking tobacco, GARFIELD AND ARTHUR. The. Republican National Conven tion, after a session of six days, com pleted its labors on Tuesday last, hav ing adopted a platform and nominated President and Vice President in the persons of Gen. James A. Garfield, of Ohio, and Gen. Chester A. Arthur, of New York. Grant's men stood by him bravely, through the last ballot, while Blaine's forces deserted and went to Garfield, but at their best they lacked nearly 70 votes of enough to nominate him, while Blaine was scarcely at any time within 90 votes of the nomination. - Garfield was the darkest of the dark horses. He had scarcely been mentioaed or thought of at any time in connection with the ' nomination, and the result of the con vention's thirty-sixth ballot was a thorough surprise. Up to this ballot he had not at any time received as many as half a dozen votea He was himself at Chicago as manager for Secretary Sherman, and his nomination was compassed by a union of all the forces opposed to Grant. We confess to disappointment that the ex-President was not nominated. We confidently believe that as the nominee be would nave oeen the weakest of all the men who were at any time balloted for. However, it is source of much satisfaction to know tbat he has been for all time done for,, and to be able to reason that third- termism will never again be heard from on this continent. Mr. Garfield was a general in the Union army; has been, nearly ever since the war, a member of the lower house of Congress, and was elected last fall to the Senate to succeed Judge Thurman. He was a member of the electoral commission and was oue of the 8 who counted Mr. Tilden out of the presidency and thus helped to de fraud the American people. He is a man of culture and ability but bis rec ord is not savory. Gen. Arthur is not a natioual man, but is one well known in his own State. He it was who was turned out of the collectorship of the port of New York about two years since by President Hayes and Secretary Sherman, for open violation of the President's civil service orders. Sen ator Conkling endeavored to maintain him in the position, and made a strong but ineffectual fight against the admin istration a fight which has been re newed at intervals ever since, as op portunity presented. To Us the nom ination of Arthur looks very much like an indignity offered to Hayes aud Sher man, brought about as it almost cer tainly was through the influence of Conkling.. However, the ticket may be said to be a strong one. It comes about as near as aoy could to welding together the opposing factions of the Republi can party, and -while the Democracy, we honestly believe, can beat it, it will require our strongest men to do it. - .B APDITORSHIP. ; If the friends of our most excellent countyman, Thos. A. Nicholson, Esq., stand squarely by him in the State convention, bis nomination is as likely as that of any man whose name has been brought forward for the posi tion ot Auditor of Public Accounts. No candidate for the place will go into the convention with a sufficient num ber of votes to nominate bim on first ballot, and the nomination will be largely a matter of chance, dependent to a great extent upon the manage ment of the friends of the different as pirants. How competeut and consci entious an Auditor Mr. Nicholson would make, and how glad we should be to see him nominated for that posi tion, require not to be said. It may be well, however, to refer - to the claims which Iredell county and Mr. Nicholson have upon this position, which claims are neither few nor insig nificant. Iredell, one of the strongest Democratic counties in the State, has never had and has never heretofore asked for a man -on the State ticket. The man whom it now desires to place on the ticket is one who, by character and services, is signally entitled to the honor. He has done most excellent work for the party in the counties of Iredell, Alexander aud Wilkes, and it is not denied that, almost solely to bis influence and labors is due the fact that Alexander, a close county, cast 500 majority in 1876 for the constitu tional amendments. ; For twelve years past Mr. Nicholson has labored for the party, as conspicuously iu the Legis lature as on the stump, aud his friedds now claim that his nomination for Au ditor will be no more than the due recognition of superior claims and merits. ", We say and we repeat that we have never known in the politics of this State, or heard of in the politics of any other, anything so utterly scandalous and disreputable as the manner in which the Hon. Thos. J. Jarvis has been and is' being hounded down by men of his own party in the inter est of Judge Fowle. The assaults which have been made upon his private char acter, and the sneers which have been uttered against bis helpless arm, have been so very villainous tbat we great ly mistake the character of the people of North Carolina if they do not, on the 17th inst., give this man a sub stantial manifestation of their renewed confidence, and administer to these assaseins of private character a rebuke such as they will never forget, SENATOR RANSOM AND THE RIVER AND HARBOR RILE,. : There is an understanding in Wash ington among Senators, Congressmen and beads of departments, that when our senior Senator wants anything he gets if. Invariably, at every session of Congress, he secures amendments to the river and harbor bill, advancing the appropriations for North Carolina works beyond the amount originally allowed for them. At this session he has faithfully observed this custom of his. The river-aad harbor bill was un der discission in the Senate last week. Mr. Ransom, as chairman of the com mittee on commerce, had charge of it and engineered it tbro'ngh, having in the meantime secured the adoption of amendments, as follows : Increasing the appropriation from $40,000 to $70,- 000 for improving the Cape Fear river, increasing the appropriation from $15,- 000 to $45,000 Tor improving Neuse river ; increasing the appropriation from $3,000 to $9,000 for the Pamlico river ; increasing the Trent river ap propriation from $5,000 to $10,000. North Carolina has never sent to Washington a man more devoted to the interests of his State or more suc cessful in subserving these interests. His 'fine manners and great personal popularity give him great power for good, and it has been well said that "Ransom can get more favors from a Republican administration than any Republican." The people of North Carolina will do a very foolish thing if they ever displace him. They should know, if they are wise, that our pres ent representation m the Senate can not be improved upon. A NORKV PRETEXT. Opponents of Governor jarvis, or friends (?) who have for any reason "weakened" on him, seeing that he is far in the lead and tbat his noiuiua tion for Governor on the 17lh is a fore gone conclusion unless they can turn the tide, are now urging that both be and Judge Fowle must be brought down, as the party cannot afford to go into a canvass with a candidate whom it "will have to defend." This is ut terly puerile. When was there ever a candidate for anything who was not the subject of one sort of charges or another ? Charges and defences are just as much parts of a campaign as are speeches.! Let a man be never so upright, and the whole record of his life never so spotless, when he is brought forward for office he will real ize that though pure as ice and chaste as snow he conrot eswtpe calumny. .. Nominate Jarvis, and we warrant that he will take care of all the charges that have been brought agaiust him. and keep his competitor so busy de fending himself that the other man will soon be made to appear the crim inal. This is his style. He never waits for assaults in order that he may "defend" himself, fie makes the war and carries it into Africa. But if those who oppose him muni oppose him, at least let them not in sult him and the intelligence of the people by affecting the fear that they cannot successfully defend a man who is so amply able to take care of him self. ' JOURNALISTIC. We greatly regret to lose Mr. F Brevard McDowell from the field of journalism. For three years past be has conducted the Southern Home, of Charlotte, under a lease which has just expired, and with its last issue he sur rendered the paper to Mr. D. H. Hill, Jr., who will conduct it in future. Mr. McDowell has been in journalism for about five years, having commenced bis career on the Charlotte Observer, and iu this time has developed mark ed aptitude for the newspaper busi ness. He has exhibited taleuts of high order as a writer, along with a cool ness of head and a degree of judgment rarely displayed by older men. The profession can ill afford to lose oue who has so thoroughly adorned it, aud in parting now with Mr. McDow ell we do so with the hope that his re tirement from the fraternity will be of but temporary duration. The new editor of the Some is a son of Gen. D. H. Hill; He graduates next week at Davidson College, carry ing on the debater's medal.' He is spoken of as a young gentleman of fine mind and of great promise V' V; we are sun unable to venture an opinion as to who the Democratic pres idential nominee will be. The conven tion meets on the 22ud inst. - A large majorityof the delegates who have been instructed up to this time are instructed for Tilden, aud the indications that he will be the nominee continue to multi ply. However, conventions are un certain and the two-thirds rule almost invariably kills the strongest man. Mr. Tilden is our very decided individ ual preference for President. Wheth er good judgment dictates his nomina tion is another matter!' . People in this district who are lying awake of nights trying lu decide wheth er this is an AimtieM or a Robbing paper, will have their anxiety relieved if they can possess their souls in pa tience until after the nominating con vention meets. ..The Raleigh Observer well says "There can be no countenance given to independentirm by the Democrats of North Carolina-.- The parly orgHiiizn- i tion should lie and will Itesu-uiuud by our people as never before." The Democrats of South Carolina, in their convention last week, nomi nated Gen. Johnson Hagood for Gov ernor, The nomination is' considered the best that could have been made, and no doubt is felt as to bis ability to carry the Slate. The delegates to the national convention Senators Hamp ton and Butler, T. J. Barker and John Brattou are unanimously for Senator Bayard for president. Pitt countv endorsed for Jarvis for Governor, and also for Louis C. Lath am, Esq., for Congress froni the first district. It was a sort of a family re union, they being brothers-in-law having married sisters, the Misses Monteiro, of Richmond. Charlotte Press. This is a mistake. Gov. Jarvis' wife was Miss Mary Woodson, of Pe tersburg, Va., a daughter of John Woodson who was for years editor of the Richmond Whig. The Washiugton Republican says : Rev. Henry Ward Beecher opened the soldiers' reunion at Chicago with prayer and was immediately followed by Bob Ingersoll with au oration. Was not that slightly mixed ? Very slightly. In the matter of re ligion it is about g. stand-off between them. ' We omit our .'congressional sum mary this week as we did last. This is because of the fact that the proceedings have been for two weeks absolutely without any interest what ever, and because space in a weekly paper is too valuable to be thrown away. : The district convention in the sixth district Wednesday nominated Ma C. Dowdi of Charlotte, for Congress. it could not have doue better. CORRESPONDENCE. I ETl'EB FROM CHARLOTTE. New City AdmlulHlrittiun The N Sunday Law Cropa, Ae. The following letter was received last week but too late to secure inser tion iu The Landmark of the 4th: Charlotte, N. C, Juue 2, ?80. To the Editor ol The LanJmark ; Since my last letter, the municipal reins of our little city have gone into new hands, and the new mayor seems bent on improving the morula of Char lotte. Some days since he issued a notice of warning to those bar-room keepers who have been selling the boys a "drap" on Sunday, to discon tinue said practice at once, and in structed the police to report auy iffend- ers to him. The penalty for selling or giving away liquor, on isunday, is fifty dollars, and ot course none would run the risk of being fined for the small profit on a few classes of liquor. But when a man wants a dram, he ran think ol several ways of obtaining it Here is one way : -. An old veteran disciple of Bacchus sauntered up to a bar-keeper, last Sun day, and remarked that he wanted "sutbin in drive on me bunday blues." The bar keeper spoke uot a word, but shook his bead. "My wife is sick," said the old vet., "aud I am bound to have a little." The bar keeper said he sympathized with him in his sore affliction, but could render him no as sistance. Finding tbat bis prayers availed nothing, he hied himself off in search of a physician, and soon re turned with the following prescription: "R. Corn whiskey. Oj, Sig: Take as directed. , M. D." The bar keeper filled the prescription aud I suppose our friend look the med icine "as directed," for he was soon ''So full of valour, that he smote the air," and swore be could lick any man south of the Mason and Dixon liue. His revelry was of short duration, for the police nabbed him and yanked him off to the lockup,, to meditate, duriug the night, upon unjust laws. i armers coming in Irom the country. report cotton crops in fine condition. They say the stand is good, and during this dry weather they have put iu then time killing grass and weeds. Wheu the rain does come their crops will be in a condition to grow. There are sev eral conflicting reports as to the wheat crop. Some say it is very good aud others say it is not worth cutting. Some of the most reliable- farmers however, tell me that there is a fair crop of wheat made. .Next Monday our people will vote on the graded school question, and it is hoped it will carry, we certainly need a better system of public schools. At the public school ot the present day, a boy learns little else thau to chew tobacco, swear and play mar bles. : Yours,. , W HAB. A Marriage) Md the Cropa la Shtleh.

JULE, POLITICAL BRIEF NOTES. The Henderson Review 6ays Judge Cox will be nominated for Congress by acclamation in the fourth district. S. J. Pemberton, of Stanly, denies tbat he will in any event be an indepen dent candidate for Congress in the sixth district. Martin and Beau fort send Fowle delegations to the State convention. Wayne coun ty Republican convention had a furious row. Gov. Jirogden denounced w nue Eyed Lot Humphrey in unmeasured terms. One section of the convention seceded. Humphrey had the whip hand, however, and got himself en dorsed for Congress and had Buxton endorsed for Governor. Craven county delegates go uninstructed to the State convention, but the Jarvis men gained a substantial victory in the election of Hon. C. C. Clark, a Jarvis man, as chairman. Judge Fowle's friends opposed him. The Ral eigh News is "authorized to state that Hon. James L. Robinson is not a can didate for State Auditor ; nor has he directly or indirectly authorized such au impression, which has existence in some quarters. Governor Robinson, indeed, is not seeking a nomination for any office, though there may be rea sons which would impel him not to de cline a nomination for that place on the State ticket, which has been des ignated for him by friends and county meetings in various sections of the State." Wilmiugton correspon dence Raleigh News .- "Those who say that the Governor is not strong in this congressional district are greatly deceived, as will appear at the State convention. As certain as the sun rises and sets on the 17th of June, he will be nominated by a very large ma jority." The Mooresville Ga zette intimates its prelerence lor Vol Arm Held tor tile congressional norm nation. Judge Fowle telegraphs to the editor ol the Newbern Record "I sincerely deprecate the acrimony and bitterness, which have entered in to the gubernatorial campaign. I have not aud will not sanction any at tack upou Gov. ' Jarvis." The feud between the friends of Major Stedman and Judge McKoy, in the third district, was such tbat neither of them could secure the nomination. John W. Shackelford, of Onslow, was nominated on the thirty-second ballot. W. F. Howland aud C. M. Stedman delegates to Cincinnati ; D. H. Mc Lean, of Harnett, district elector. - The Surry county convention met. and decided that sufficient notice had not been given, and adjourned to meet again 7th of June. Watauga county Democratic convention has been called to meet ou the 12th. Gen. A. M. Scales writes to the Char lotte Observer that be thinks he can serve his people more effectively iu Congress, yet if nominated for Gov ernor he will accept, though at a sac rifice. Receiving which letter the Ob server goes right square back on Jarvis, for whom it had already declared, and goes to advocating the nomination of Scales. The Shelby Aurora says the interests of the people of the eighth district demand the re-nomination of Hou. R. B. Vance for Congress. Edgecombe county delegates are not instructed, but a majority are knowu to be for Judge Fowle. The Greensboro Patriot says : "It seems to be pretty generally understood that Capt. Randolph A. Shotwell will be the nominee ot lite Demoe: a tic con vention on June 17th, for State Audi tor." The Raleigh Observer says "a dispatch from Gen. M. W. Ran som, who is the member or the na tional executive committee from North Carolina, informs us that be is now negotiating for rooms at Cincinnati for the North Carolina delegation. Gen tlemen who propose to attend will please take notice. Tyrrell couu- ty instructs unanimously for Gov. Jar vis. The Milton township con vention endorsed i ather Vans, of the Chronicle, lor the Legislature. Send him along. The Raleigh Post says it will "wager a button now, Shackelford being out ot the way, Jim Robinson or Tyre York, one or the other, gets tbe nomination for Secreta ry of State." The Raleigh iVeir learns tbat the name of Hon. John Maiming will not go before the nomi nating convention as a candidate for judge in the Chatham district. Judge Gilmer's re-nomination will be press ed, and Judge Rutfin's friends will urge his nomination. Camden coun ty convention, held on the 31st ult.. instructed its delegates to go for Jar vis for Governor and Latham for Con gress. Col. Keogh, ol this Slate, has beeu deposed from his seat iu the national committee, of which he was the secretary, because of his friendship for Grant. Nat. Atkinson, of Buncombe, is going to run indepen dent for Congress against Gen. R. B. Vance. So it is said. We should not be surprised. Nat never was any too bright. - But what will become of his apple crop ? The Charlotte Home says: "We told you Catawba would instruct for Lock McCorkle for Con gress. Catawba will instruct for him every time or die in the attempt." The Southern Home Bay Mecklen burg is as full of candidates as a sheep pasture is of cockle burs. , The Southern Home, which is neutral be tween Jarvis and Fowle, referring to. Gov. Jarvis and to the warfare upon him, says: "He has made about as few blunders as any executive we have ever bad, is a good man and a patriot, and if elected, the interests of the State will be perfectly secure in his hands. We have no sympathy for snubbed editors and anonymous scribblers who are now moving all the powers of iliuk uess and employing all the invectives of slander to assassinate the character of a faithful officer and a worthy man." Nine of the townships of Beaufort county went for Fowle and seven for Jarvis. ' Beaufort is Judge Fowle's native county, and his friends insist on casting the vote of the county solidly for him. Wayne county's dele gates are not instructed. They are about half and half between Fowle and Jarvis. Davidson couuty's dele gales are not instructed. They are aid to stand: 17 for Fowle, 2 for Jar vis. The delegates from Guilford and Johnston go uninstructed. Up to lust Sunday 26 counties had in structed their delegates 21 for Jarvis, 5 for Fowle. Geo. H. Gregory, chairman of the executive committee for the fiflh district, publishes this card in the Greensboro Patriot: "I think 1 can say by authority that Geu. A. M. Scules is Hot a caudidale uuder any circumstances for the gubernatorial nomination." Mr. Gregory having then telegraphed 'ieu. Scales what he had done, that gentleman responded by telegraph : "You are right. 1 am not and will not be a candidate for Governor." Rockingham dele gates are uninstructed, and Alamance only instructs in oenan oi us iavorue son, Col. Thos. M. Holt. - Mc Dowell county's delegates, at the meeting last Monday, were instructed to vote for Jarvis. The Charlotte Observer, of the 9th. says : "They had it reported at one time yesterday that our own delegate with the feminine name bad been nominated for vice president, and numerous credulous people leu into the trap." Li hat means Aunt Nancy. - . STATE NEWS. There are 95 public wells iu Raleigh. Greensboro, after a considerable period of dryness, has again gone back to wetness.

The feeliug is rapidly spreading that if the Democrats do not carry the next presidential electioo it will be their own lault ; and theie is evidently a general resolve that they will not commit such a fault. We believe now that great care will be taken in the selection ot a candidate. and that caodidate, whoever he may be, will receive the hearty and almost unanimous support ot the party. Beyond the disagreement in refer encc to candidates, beyond the differ ence on the third term queslioo. there seems to he a feeling in the ranks of the Republicans that their party has Bui vived its uselulness aud might as well be disbanded. r The prosecU of the Democracy are brightening.
