The poll holders were! also tried for allowing them to vote,' the negroes names' were put on the registration bookwithout being sworn. It is also reported that nearly one hundred negro women were dressed in men's clothing, and having been registered under an assumed name, voted. This, it is said, was done principally in Old's township, and the! fact that this township gave be tween fifty and seventy-live Repub lican majority, whereas it has here tofore i been . giving only between twenty-live and forty majority is strongly confirmatory jot the charge. e hope the Democrats will thor- oughly investigate ttiese cnargesanu Froin" An OU Yauk.t' We commend theiollowirtg truth ul and sensible letter, in1 reference fjo the people of North Carolina,! to heitter, bloody-shirt-waving news- apers that are using Jordan s lies as means lor hurling vituperation at urham, and North Carolina, and the South generally.

The second side bears the follow ing inscription : "A patriot whose honor and con stancy no suffering could weaken, no advantage tempt, no loss dismay, and in whom all the attributes of true greatness were so nicely adjusted and so exactly placed that- it was not until 'he had passed -into life eternal that men saw tliat h'hadtj reached the full stature of a man." On the third is the following: '"This monument is erected by the people of his adopted State as a trib ute, to a soldier whose courage s proven in sixteen, -great battles and who, in the midst of disaster, cap tivity anil defeat, kept unshaken his fidelity to his cause, his country and his comrades-in-arms."

The Asheville Citizen thus takes issue with the Wilmington Mecnyn in the Jccdan matter : "We do not agree with the il- mingto.n - Mease wjer 111 condemning the course of the citizens of Durham in expatriating the man Jordan. On the contrary, the provocation given was leniently punished, lhe Me.n- riuier itselt says that .Mr. Jordan, running for office, and supported by the colored people, appealed to them in no uncertain sound, and that in the beat of campaign he gave loose rein to feeling and expression which in its fullest ell'ect, if unchecked, could but lead to violent demonstra tion and unrestrained license on the part of his super -heated colored fol lowers.' "He did appeal with such eflect that the dwelling of Mr. C. B. Green was destroyed, himself and family narrowly escaping with life. "There was little question of Jor dan's agency in the matter. That he, with such complicity, escaped with his life, is creditable to the for bearance of an incensed and men aced people. It is no mitigation of Jordan's guilt, that, as the Messenger says, 'two" days after the election, if let alone, he would not only have been a very harmless, but quite a useful citizen.' A man cannot be a good citizen who cannot be trusted in time of trial and excitement. The seeds of mischief only lay dormant in Jordan's heart awaiting the occa sion to germinate in mischievous luxuriance. No community wants, or ought to harbor, such a class of possible 'good citizens.'"

Jones, j It was reported here a week or two ago that Sam Jones was seriously ill and this was tollowed by another report that he was dead. Thfese re5-' ports lacked confirmation and were not generally believed, but stiljl they created some uneasiness. Th mat ter that follows will show that Sam is not only alive, but that he is still engaged in the work of " hanging hides on poles" in his own inimita ble style. j The reporter for the Yicksburg Herald m;de a thrust at Sam 5n the following Ispecial to his paper "Grkk.vyillk, Nov. 12 -Sam Jones linsulted the Jewish rabbi in the fol lowing weirds : '1 ant told that the old Jew rabbi has got on his ear be cause 1 said something about him. Now let the old Jew go on his ear if he w ants to, and fan himself with the other jear. 1 don't care.' Sam Jones has been very studious jto in-i-sult Presbyterians, Methodists Bap tists and Episcopalians, but hiis mis sion was ended when he offered the 'plain insult to the people who do not go to hear his nonsense'ancj. have lived before he came to Greehville. Sam is Very unehtertaining ; bis main forte is to pull his mustache and fingeE his hair and call 'ladies sister whop would not associate' with him, to call men brother, who jsvotiid despise him as an old worh out drunkard and who uses his text for causes Unit are so far away from glory that! God doesn't recognize his lingo such is tlie infamous ram Jones." ! The Greenville Delta lias the fol lowing upon what Sam had to say about theifellow that tackled him : ;Col. Jack Bavins, who is here re porting sjani Jones' sermons for the Yicksburg Herald, missed it this morning. ; Rev. Mr. Jones paid his respects to hiui in a manner (calcu lated to jerk the cuticle from his quivering carcass. He called the elegant colonel 'a stinking, lying, and thieving scoundrel,' and other soothing names which we don't just now recall. He said further;, 'He looks like he had laid around a hog pen ch unk and had his nose eat off by the buzzards. It's a pityj they didn't eat him all up.' Mr. Lavins had the misfortune to get hisl nose bit off in a fight in Vicksburgj some years ago and this remark of the preacher's was 411 the natur0 of a, home thrust." .' In another article, in the same is s.ue, the Delta has the following de fence of "our Sam" : " The communication sent from this place to the Yicksburg Herald last night shows the author to-be an artist in prevarication. Mr. IJones has said somethings which shiocked a great many people. This ii true. ' But there are a great many people whom the truth will always shock. It may be wrong to call things by their right najnes; if so, Mr. jJones has grievously- sinned. It may be wrong to say licentiousness leads to hell. If so, Mr. Jones is a; great offender. It might be wrong to put hell under hypocrites ; if sd, Mr. Jones is ai sinner above most! men. The crowds which go daily toj hear Mr. Jonesj, embracing men of every degree in church and out of the church, attest that when the Herald correspondent cabled Sam Jones in famous, the Herald correspondent lied. That's the size of it." j ; So between Sam and the Delia, the Col. is catching "Hail Columbia,'" and we should think he would be after lav in Greenville with what there is- hft of his carcass. " My, my," Col ,y jmi don't let Sam:alone he will spjit'your hide down the back and ipilLgu through it." ;Prof. E. O. KxeelK - The Greenville, Miss., Daily Delta, pays the ! following 'compftment to Prof. E. O. Excell, who is conduct ing the music at the Sam ,Tones' meeting, at that place: "Music is always a potent factor in God's work. Lev. Mr. Jones has the power to sway multitudes and make them laugh or cry at his will, but his musical assistant adds at least one-half to the services.: No ImhIv who has a pathetic nature can listen to tys melodious strains; with (mC having their thoughts trans ported heavenward. ! j "Althoqgh Mr. Excell has a na tional reputation, his genuine ability is not known by the people of the South, ami especially those of Mis sissippi. 1 lie has organized the members of the choirs of the four protectant churches into one large-choir and the singing at the tent is thereby, made almost perfect.
