Every one who votes illegally will be "prosecuted, just the moment enough proof can be had to convict him. The moment he puts in bis vote and you know he has voted at another place, just then take him with the warrant and he must give good security or go to jail to await trial. The penalty for fraudu lent .Voting is now very severe. The forms, lawyer and magistrates, are all ready and this is th only way to stop rascality. - ; A sj)ortsman once, out gaming, and finding ? no game, tiporteu away all his ammunition, aud finally found himself in the midst of a thick swamp. .He spied approaching him a furious bear, when he fell upon the ground ' and prayed God to help him. Ha prayed as lie never prayed, before, bnt the bear uassed without molesting him. So iLis with us on this occasion. We are in the midsfc of a gloomy swamp aud if we have not worked heretofore let us work to-morrow at the polls. Rally men, and work as you never workeJ be fore. For if we fail to-morrow, we may never , have the privilege of casting a free vote agaiB. " Let every store and other place of business be closeV'aud every man consider himself a fcpecvd cou-iuittee to see that every citizen . rotes; Let all who are too feeble to walk, be Muruisbed with transportation, Workj work now and save our people from years and years of further poverty, sorrow, if not danger and ruin. ' , Some people decline to register because they think4hcy must take oath to support for ever th law.3 as now in force. This is a mistake. The oath only requires every voter to support the Constitution of the United States and aljl othar Lxw Mid omstitntlon8 that are in accord ance uiih Uie United States constitution. This is all and no ftore. If we believo like the Presi- dent and the Supreme Cotut, that the Recon struction Acts aretmconsf Uidional then we really take no oath to support these Acts. We can still oppose these Acts in a legid way by try ing to get them repealed or to get the Supreme Court . to decid them as unconstitutional. This is all we can do with any odious law and the United States constitution secures ns this privilege. The oath of voters has this binding . effect and no more, no matter what threats mean men may make, j We cannot defeat this ruinous and dangerous radical party by doing nothing; but we can defeat them and restore the country by doing our duty. We must use the means in our power, whether those be the means . ofour choice or not. Go every man who can rote, and register, - "jiVhen Sherman's army was at Raleigh in I869, Gen. Blair had an ofl&ce at Gen. W. R. Cox's residence. Gen. Cox had returned Lome front Lee's surrender and very often vis ited Blair. He came in Blair's ofHee one day while Gen. Logan and Gen. Geary of the Fed eral army wsr in. Blair introduced him to them and the conversation was . long and in teresting. During the time Logan said in sub stance: "We have lbught long and earnestly for the Union. The war is over and the Union restored and our brave oppononts have surren- . - ; V ' . , V dered.

Let us demand no harsher measure than abolition of slavery and obedience to the Constitution and existing laws." : They all agreed ip this promptly and fully.. They all became popular leaders after their return home. John A Logan is a violent radical member of Congress from Illinois and Geary is the ultra radical Governor of Pennsylvania. Frik P.

Circumstances seeming to point to him as the robber, ha was promptly arrested, in Wayne county and brought tQ Fayetteville for exami nation, before W. H. Porter, UnitedStates Commissioner. . After a very thorpngh investigation, conduc ted on the part of the Government, by Col. John W. Hinsdale, Esq., and j of the defence by Bart.

Helmbold' million bet on Seymour, has eclipsed 'all the five dol lar radical bets aud the Democrats are more thoroughly organised than ever. The crowds who go to hear Seymour, excel any. turnouts ever witnessed before. And jn our own State, men in the western counties are repudiating the League by hundreds.

No. 10. ) The distribution of troops being now com plete iu this District, occasion is taken to re mind all officers commanding posts and star tibnsyf the necessity of careful compliance with existing instructions and orders, and es pecially to fix attention t J the object of their presence in the different localities, which is jiolely'for the preservation of peace, and the rendering assistance in case of riotous pro- ceedings which the civil authorities may be unable to suppress. Under no circumstancers will officers or sol diers fraternize with political parties, or in any manner interfere with the peaceable exercise by aJl citizens of their rights and privileges as .such. 1 ne conauct of the troops has so far been satisfactorv, and with proper judgment on the part of officers no causd lor complaint need be occasiocsd. To the citizens of the State, it is only ne cessary to remark, that the political campaign has so f.ir progressed with a degree of quiet ness and good order creditable to all eoneern ed, and it is to be hoped that such may bo the case until it3 conclusion. The record of North Carolina is as yet unmarred- by aots of law lessness, which have in some instances so in juriously affected other cojnmuuitjes, ftn4 the present exercise of moderation and wisdom will hereafter be the source of much satisfac tion to her citizens. The credit w hich will be conceded to all parties should such a gratify ing result be attained, cannot but be produc tive of good results. - ' , The disposition of troops is such as to war rant the belief that with the assistance of law abiding citizens the civil authorities will be enabled tf preserve the peace and bring to justice tb3& who may be so inconsiderate and thoughtless as to attempt its violation. ' '. If lawlessness must prevail let it be, where it has been heretofore, beyond the limits of this State. The interest , happiness and fn ture prosperity of her citizens will be promo ted by discouraging and preventing acts of vi olence.

They had scarcely finish ed the book when Abraham, wiping his bare feet and mouth with his table napkin, told six or eight more than usually filthy stories; which showed that his mind had recovered its origi nal tone. The result was that Ulysses Hiram Samuel Simpson Spenc r Grant was seut ftr to go to Washington. Bill Seward fired his ambition by declaring most solemnly that Lee's army (so-called) was full of whiskay, brandy, giu. e. Abraham promised to place at his disposal tho lives of every man, woman and child North of the Potomac, of all the niggers South of it, and of all the" poor emigrats who might arrive in the country without sufficient knowledge of the language to know what was said to them; und further that Bill Seward and Ned Stanton should set to work at onee aud tell some of their best lies so as to encourage immigration, and keep the loyal people in good humor.

'Democratic party as being routed and. panic . stricken, are indulging in the puerile policy of try ing to make a victory'out of an inde cisive contest by the force of crowing. -The preliminary tiring has only devel oped the positions of. the two armies; the great battle is yet to be fought. Thev who exult in the crv that the en emy are; panic, stricken are foolishly leading our "own" soldiers to throw down their tarms and' relax their or ganization." - f " !The,fact8.airaround prove that Gen.

He did not get after them soon enough to know the parties with certainty. There are many such, thefts. All this is in ac cordance with tlwj teaching of the in famous -address ' published some time ago by radical members of the Legis lature and moro recent jy repeatetl in the Standard, the substance of Avhich wai, that all idler?, vagrants and roirues, would be perfectly justifiable in - taking and using any hogs, cows, corn' or1 other necessaries they might need.
