We .are not in favor of retaining
the present Supreme Court.
Geu. Gordon will be the next
Governor of Georgia.
Gladstone bas failed in his Irish

she seems destine to ever be in
bondage! Her day is coming.
Panl. II. Hayne, the Southern

lew days, if that long.
He has died since the above.
Judge A. O. Avery of this State
has been suffering somewhat from
a sore on his lower lip. He hud
it ent out one day last week in
Charlotte by Dra. Graham and
Jones. It was not regarded as
serious but It was thought best to
be in time.
The Concord Times says “New
Hanover, Brunswick and Bladen
Counties have instructed for Sted
man,” why Bladen is in the 3d
district. Surelv the “old 3d” dont
propose to nominate Stedman ?
Are you not mistaken Bro. Times 1 !
Rev. Dr. J. T. Bagwell, one of the
brightest lights in the .Methodist
church of the State^ and who was
pastor of the church at Winston,
was found guilty of being too inti
mate with one, Mrs. Wall in Win
ston, His case was investigated by
a Committee auA he was suspended
from the church. Humanity! How
frail!
Great efforts were made to induce
the Commissions! sof Wake county
to grant licc-use to retail wine, and
beer in Raleigh on the ground that
wine and beer are not “Spuitous
liquors” as called for in the Local
option act. The Commissioners
were firm and granted no license.
B o h sides we e Consented by able,
attorneys.
The C.mgru>siim >1 C indi bates in
the third district are Col. WJ.Green,
Hon W.T. Dortch, C.WAIcCUmmv
pud Dan.Hugh McLean. Hillier Col.
Green or Dortch will get it unless
dark horse ism shall have something
'to do with it.
The House of Representatives in
Washington voted the other day
to give al! its employers one month
of extra wages, which will take
680.000. This is an outrage. The
tax payers have this to pay and
hard enough some have to work to
do it. We are opposed toanysuch
extra vega nee, it is neither demo
cratic nor right.
Richmond county has* instructed
her delegates to vote for J. C.
Legrand for Congress and
Frank McNeill y for Solicitor
for this district. We arc not per
sonally acquainted with Mr. Le
grand but we know Mr. McNeill
well and we know of no man who is
better fitted to fill the position of
Solicitor. J/r. McNeill is an able
lawyer, a sincere unassuming gen
tleman. When his parry needed his
services he was always found ready
and willing. In saying this we do
not wish to be understood as inti
mating any thing whatever against
Mr. C. C. Lyon, for we look upon
JIr. Lyon as a gentleman highly
fitted for the position and there is
no man who has done more for the
democratic party in his section
than has Mr. Lyon. When bis
county needed his services he left
all and did valiant work for the
democratic party. It is such men
as these—men who have fought in
every Campaign—men who never
shirked when the. party needed
them and especially men who have
never been repaid by any position,
that we should have.
er standpoint of law and reason.
Just here we wish to say, there is a
mistaken idea insomecountieabout
members of the legal fraternity rep
resenting them in the legislature.
We think a man possessed of legal
knowledge is capable of doing
more for his country in many cases,
in the law-making body, than one
without it. Take the average citi
zen, who is too busy in life for such
reading and study—it not being his
business, and what does he know
about the principles involved in the
formation ofa law ? What does he
know about drawing a bill that will
be effectual ? How does he know
how to discuss and give light on
certain laws which might be neces
sary for him to pass for the benefit
of his county ? They gradually find
out what (hey do know from the
disccussiou about the legislature,
from the lawyers there and else-
wher. Wo notice too that those
counties who send men of thought,
energy and learning,especially legal,
stand much higher,and have a much
better reputation in the State at
large and have been more success
ful in getting what they desire, than
when it is otherwise the case. For
these reasons, other things being
suitable, wo hope the legal profes
sion as wall as live go-head men of
business and farmers will receive
due consideration in the coming
election.
No man who is void of good mor
als should be allowed to represedt
such a county as ours in the legis
lature. No man who is a drunkard,
and whose habits arc not sober,
should be allowed to disgrace this
or ony other county.
A man void of enterprise and push
would not do much for any coun
ty, and the people should not en
courage lazyness or indolence by
sending such a one.
Whal. we need, is to get men who
will represent every commendable

About Our Next Legislators.
The time has arrived when the
people should begin to think who
are the proper personsto serve them
as officers and representatives. We
are speaking now of county matters,
and it is a matter of the greatest
importance.
We wish to say a word in regard
to selecting r^presutativos to our
Legislature. It is of the highest
importance that we send men of in
telligence, of good morals, of sober
habits to represent us in our Legis
lature. How can a man who is not
possessed of intelligence, vote know-
ugly of what he is doing, muchless
&W U bill or discuss it fruui a prop-
at Wilmington to take
the unfortunate lady’s
Mrs. Greenhow’s effects
v dresses, laces and ar-
rphe Board of Commissioners will meet on
Monday the 12th day of July for the
purposeof revising the tax list. All persons
who feel aggrieved at the valuation fixed up
on their real estate and intend to apply for a
reduction, should do so at that time.
J. W. Dickson,
Bd. Com
our county, keep her marching on
ward and upward till sheshall gain
a reputation second to none in the
State of North Carolina.
We dont wish to be understood
as intimating that that there are not
good farmers and business men who
have made and will make the very
best of representatives, but we wish
to protest against the prejudiced
idea,that a lawyer should not be sent
to the legislature.
Mrs. GREENHOW AGAIN.
As there was a good deal written
in this paper concerning the famous
confederate Messinger and perhaps
the whole matter was not as clear
as itsbohld be, we have been keep
ing an eye on our exchanges ever
since for something more definite.
We have the pleasure of copying
the following from the Philadelphia
Times of a late issue which makes
the matter plain.
“Mrs. Greenhow, as her name is
spelled in all the records here, was
a passenger on the British steamer
Condor, a blockade runner, then
playing between the ports of the
Bahamas and the Confederate At
lantic ports, which on the night of
Friday, September 30 1864, ran a-
ground off fort Fisher, North Caro
lina, in attempting to enter the
Cape Fear river at New Inlet (now
closed), about twenty miles below
Wilmington, N-C. Mrs. Greenhow,a
fearing capture, and being rhe-
bearer, as was then said, of impor t
i tant dispatches for the Confederated
I government, insisted, despite the ]
, remonstrances of the captain of the |
ship, upon going ashore in a boat.
I In the breakers, which were rolling
I heavily, the boat was capsized and
| Mrs. Greenhow, who seems to have,J
been in some way entangled in it'
was drowned. Her body was rej
covered, was brought to Fort Fish's
er, properly cared for ard was sent’
to Wilmington for interment. She
was buried in Oakdale Cometary,
a beautiful spot, where her remains
I still lie, and her grave was an ob
i ject of tender care to the ladies of
the Wilmington Soldiers’ Aid Soci
ety during the existence of that
association.
Around Mrs, Greenhow’s person
was found a money-beta containing
a hundred English sovereigns, the
weight of which may have had to
do with her death. And this belt
lor satchel, together with her
trunks, which werp also recovered,
' were taken possession of by Col.
tides of wearing apparel, all of
which were sold at public auction
by her administrator by order of
court. The articles were handsome
—many of them costly—and, as al(
such things were extremely scarce
and in great demand in the Con
federacy, their sale attracted great
attention. The sale was held in
Raleigh, and the interest evinced
in it and the excitement it created
can be fully understood only by la
dies whom a stringent blockade had
for four years cut off noronly from
the “latest styles” and articles of
elegance, but from many things of
ordinary comfort and necessity.
The salesrooms were thronged
for days before the sale by persons
eager to examine the coveted treas
ures. Orders and limits were the re
from nearly every place of conse
quence in the South. At the sale
the bidding was active and spirited,
many ladies—as it is said is often
done by their sex—having raised
their own bids sex era! times.
The impression that Mrs. Green-
how’s extreme anxiety to escape the
dangerous landing from the strand
ed ship was caused from the fact
that she had in her possession
valuable papers and information
for the Confederate government —
which it was important that she
should deliver in person—was prob
ably correct, for as soon as it. was
ascertained that she had been
drowned, the following telegram
was sent to the ■Confederate au
thorities at Richmond:
