" " ' -Theoocord Times furnish es a detailed account of the discussion in Concord betWeen Cy. Thompson, tho Secretary of the State of North Carolina, .and Charles B. Aycock of Goldsboroon Monday of last ; weefc; from which we infer that the fusion Secratary met ' -decided damage. : , We have no doubt that the abstract of the speeches of the opposing epeakers in the Tim es, is truthful and reliable. .Wo think so from the establish ed character of the editor of the Concord Times, and from tho ract, that ii no nfta given an unfair statement. , of the speaking which was heard by the people of the town in which the Times is published it would have damaged the good QlinQ of the paper. So, wc ac cept it as a reliable statement, and we join the white men of North Carolina in' thanks and congratulations to Aycock for the dressing he crave Mr. Cv. Thompson. Aycock did a good ,ni;, i,n ,icon,i culinary job when he dressed Cy. Cy is a hyena and a ghoul, a bird that feeds on the bodies ii the de&d. Outlawed from hu man companionship, ho roosts high and near grave yards, and there-is no law in his favor for the protection of'gamo birds. Aycock went erunnine; for him last week and found gea mm -tor .a fight, without i I... i. i i i. i a Ics. At first Cy wouldn't come , down from the high limb he was roosting on. Cy looked down to see if Aycock was dead, but he soon saw that. Ay cock was a very" much alive ; corpse and he was about to fly ;off, looking for graves, but Ay cock raised to fire and be came down; "And Aycock, basted him, roasted him to a brown and then tossed him to the crowd. Alljwho were present said Cy. Thompson "was "rat tled." That is to say that; he was first on his head then! on his heels, and his .bones became disjointed and they rattled like- jingling dry bones. There was a large audience at Concord and Aycock was at , liis best. Thompson had spok en before in the canvass and had made charges against his predecessors in the office of Secretary of State, and when jcock mei-nim in- VAjncora 1- Ja 1 mi ' I jtocKreiuieuiuemDy inomp- son s own evidence Tnomp son said that Coke and Cooke. the Democratic Secretaries had 1 failed to pay over fees in the office Aycock exhibited a check from Cooke to Thompson, iur mu very lees reierrea 10. ne urougnt. eimuar charges against Secretary Coke, which were paid by 'Coke's widow after his death. The Concord Times is authority for saying ,-that the debate was a complete triumph for Aycock. . GREENYILLE'S PROMINENCE.

A cow's tail gave prominence to Chicago- by whisking over a kerosirie lamp and made it famous as one of of tho great confiagators of the world. Pony Bernard made Greenville famous, by drawing the Legislative bill that estab lished negro supremacy within its corporate limits. Shall we nnolocrize to the cow's tail or r or to the pony for the approxi mate comparison? Greenville is developing, and if it grows on in fame it will soon be class ed with Wilmincrton and New Bern, where the next step will be an exodus of all tho decent wnite population and these towns be abandoned to bats and beasts, lowwhites and ne groes. .

The statement by who ever made, as coraming trom me is a falsehood. I wiKh to say more while i have this matter before me that in my dealings with public men extending over twentyflve years, have never found a. more honorable set- of I countv ofHcera than I, had. to deal with in Currituck county. Found Mr. Bray. Mr. Tillett and yourself, as well as the building ' committee, all faithful to the interest of the county and verv txnctlncr and have got a Court House for less thart . f 8.000 that should have cost vour county ten thousand dollars. My ofil ce books will show this job of work lost us money and cost more than wh got of it,! on account of, several sub contractors, violating their agree ments" with us. v v You may show this letter , or shr.w 1 itjto any one who has made this state ment as coraming from me ii an n mingatea liar. , Respectfully yours, B.
