Tbomp too Re-Klecte4 Major The N-ero'S Go ing to Alabama A Fight for the Poat efflce Notaries Appointed. Messenger Bureau, 1 Raleigh, May 7, 1839. i The election yesterday turned out all right. The $100 000 in bonds, for im provemens will be issued. Th '"re were 1,367 registered voters, and C79 rotes were necessary to secure the ratifica tion of th'e proposition to isaue bonds. There were cast for this 731 votes, or fifty-two over a majority. Only eighty three voes were cast against it. ,; The negroes, to an unprecedented extent, abstained from voting. In the Fifth ward, where there are 150 negro voters registered, only six voted at all. The question was asked, what was the cause of this. An intelligent negro said: "The negroes did not vote on account of the new election law. They thought, and they are certainly told, that the bill which came up in the Senate was the one which became a law. They do not propose to vote anymore in this State, with a few exceptions. This matter has been talked of by the negroes in meetings and a general liae ot pohcyjigreed on. Some negroes say they are angry with the white Republicans who have form ed clubs and do not admit an black men to ' fellowship or membership So we say to these white Republicans that as they dred the color line them selves we will keep it down. Another thing is that the negroes do not care about voting at all, as they intend leaving" the State as soon as possible and felt no interest in these matters. We are told that if we vote our ballots wili not.be counted. It would have been better if we had divided our yote years ago." Now this is arrant folly. The inter views shows jast what is in the negro mind. It is a simple "don't care" policy, and shows of how little real yalue as citizens the masses of the negroes are. The election law is an excellent one and the reasons 'the negroes are not informed in re gard to it is simply because they wish to be ignorant and , dont care to know anything about it except what they are told. What will the Northern Republicans think when they see their negro allies refuse to yote f So the negroes stayed away from the polls to a large extent. The result i3 that the Democrats carried the sec ond ward, which has heretofore always been solidly Republican, by a vast majority, go that Li. C. B.-tgwell, W. R Womble and Fab. W. Honeycutt get in from, that ward. This gives fourteen Democratic Aldermen out of a total of seventeen. There was much gratification last night whea it was known that the Democrats hadearried the second ward. It is hoped that in the future they Can always carry it, and that the mass of the darkeys will keep right on abstaining from voting. The old B jard of Aldermen met at 10 o'clock this morning and took the necessary steps for retirement from office. Most of its members are in the new board. The latter met at noon and re-elected Alfred A. Thomp son Mayor. The congregation of Edenton Street M. E Church to day -sent Mrs. F.J. Shipp, so lone organiut there, but now living in Richmond, a handsome gold watch and chain as a testimonial of regard. Governor Fowle has received many congratulations upon his speech at the Southerns Society's dinner at New York last Thursday evening. Ed. Chambers Smith, E-q ., who was so fortunate as to be present at the ban quet, says Gov. Fowle's speech was mcomparab y the best and brightest made on the occasion and that it was well received A party of colored exodusters left to day for Fort Payne, Alabama, and labor agents are making up another party to leave next Tuesday for the lame place. The committees in charge of the cattle show are busy. They fiud that considerably over 100 thorough breds, of all the best breeds, will be shown. Interest in the cattle fair never abates and the addition of the horse show as a feature increases the interest. The delegates to the Southern Bap tist Convention left to day. Raleigh will be well represented. This evening at the First Baptist church Rev. W. F. Craft will make an address on the subject of Sabbath observance, Rileigh is a moral town and the sabbath is as well kept here as in any place in the country, of which your correspondent has knowledge. The librarian of the Supreme Court has procured three complete sets of the, North Carolina reports. It may be of iuterest to state that thee cost $1,200.- Law books are a good invest metit, , There was a flying rumor yesterday that Col. Shaffer had the postofflee and that L ge Harris was regularly i knocked out. Tuere was no fouoda tion for the rumor. A telegram 6- terday morning from Mr. Harris taid that the Postmaster-General would ! crivM Him nnnthfir hearing. It is a i very pretty little fight. Six weeks ago Dr. Banks, another aspirant, filed charges against Mr. Harris, of which thri latter naid he took no notice. As long us a Republican mast have the place, the greater part of the people here favor Hat t is and believe he will ; be successful. i Jamud H. Jones, who for seventeen 1 vears has been the most prominent of the negro members of the Board of Aldermen.and who is widely koownag the body-servant of Ex President Davis, is now in Mississippi, He has a contract there for constructing a rail way, aod for that work took with him from here quite a number of laborers. He will prooably never return. There have been many calls for the roster of the dead in the Confederate Cemetery here. There ought to be a published list of all the Confederates interred in every cemetery in North Carolina, j With this might be pub lished a list of those buried in Virgin ia and elsewhere. It is a labor of love, which onght not to be neglected longer.

The reveuue law will not be repealed. It ought to be honestly eurorced. ror two years your cor respondent has repeatedly referred to the fact that there was a remarkable increase in moont-bimng in this sec tion, even i very near Raleigh. .Now this shooting affair aud the subse quent developments show it all up in the strongest light. The moonshiners have terrorized two or three townships, a little distance from the capital, to such an extent that no man dare raise his voice against them, for fear of ar son or bodily injury. A list of forty illicit distilleries in Wake has been sent to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.! The Ut jvernor to-day agreed to an exchange jof courts between Judges Bojkiu and Gilmer.

Grar' JSlevator Trial und the Serious Re tt a It. Povidence, R I , May 7. A lare crowd assembled in the new Schwartz building to day to witness the tet ot the passenger elevator, built by L. S Graves and Son, of Rochester. Super intendent of construction, A. C. Cor nell, was to cut the elevator loose and a. ' . Mil . k r . let it ran tne wnoie nve stories, a distance of sixty five feet to the air tight brick-vault at the bottom, to show the entire safety of such a fall. A basket of etrgs and a glas of water were to go down too. Cornell, with Mr. Jones, manager and etrgs and water were accompanied by Jacob Roenfeld, reporter for the Telegram. The elevator went down with an awful velocity. When the elevator door was opened the three men were found lying on the bottem of the car insensible, with their beds badly cut. Their iigaries may prove fatal, as all sottered a severe spinal shock, the seriousness of which is not determined. Jones is most seriously hurt and will probably die The reporter seems to have suffered the least. M. C Jones, New England agent for the elevator firm of L. D. Grave & Co of Rochester, belonged in Bos ton, where had a wife. He died at Rhode Island hospital at 4 o'clock of broken back. He was a very' large man and the shock of recoil told heavily upon him. A. C. C re'l, Superintendent of t ie construction, was also from Bos ton. He lies at Rhode Island hos pital in a comfortable condition aud will probably survive. R. Rosen feld, reporter, who fell with the oar. was the lightest of the three men and was not iujured internally. He has Pins in his back and hemorrhages tbout the head. Both his eyes are blacked and bis head badly cut. He s able to use all his limbs however, and there is no fear that paralysis win intervene. . James Beatton, the helper, also from Boston, was the man who sawed apart the hemp cable, he wanted to mike the descent in the car but was ordered to descend on the cable after the car and fasten it to the car again. This he did in company with the plumber and it was not until he could restore the hoisting line that the suf - ferers could be reached. " tflD. It etna. London, May , 7.

London. May 7. The annual meet ing oi the National Liberal Club was held to day. . Two thousand members were present. Resolutions was adopt- ed decUriBg tau omrJJ? giong at prent 'exUtin to the divi- present existing in the party, it was not desirable for the Club to be actiyely identified with any section of it. After an excited discussion Par neli was elected a life member of the Clubby a large majority. The Parneil Commission resumed its sitting to-day. Parneil, upon taking the stand, said he desired to correct that part' of his evidence given on Friday, in relation tp the statement made by him in thexxiouse. or torn- TT farriue to the Hoasard reports of the ftroceedincs of the House Commons, hf fnnnA ht his rAmark.o whin.h had been quoted by Attorney General Web ster, referred particularly to Ribbon ismand to secret conspiraties gener ally; His remarks therefore were a fairly accurate statement of the facts as Uibbontsm, at that time, was practi cally non-existent in Ireland. Itie cross examination of toe witness was them resnmed. . -Parneil said he bad not heard of one Hundred guineas being paid tor the- defense of moonlighters at the Cork assizes in 18SI. If he had been asked to niaxe such payment he should in those days have -approved them if he hadjreason to believe the lav ?as being strained a&rainst a man, but hi3 general will was to limit such pay ments as much as possible. He re membered one ? case m which he hud sanctioned the payment of money for thedeFenc? tf" a prisoner, ana ih.3 man was acquitted. in auother cai?e he reimbursed, Harris, who had made himself respon sible for the costs of the defease, but at the tame time witness instructed Harris not to undertake in future the defense of accused moonlitrhters. Parneil said that he sometimes paid money from his own private account in benait ot tne jueague. ne did not object to an inspection of his accounts. Aiiorney wenerai vveoster nero began a protracted examination of the witness as to his banking rransac tions but tailed to elicit anything Of note. Being further catechised upon his knowledge of Gen. Millen and other members of the Physical Force party, Parneil declared . that the mai nty were utter strangers to him. He had never beard that Egan had joined the ;CJan Na Gael, He would regret to find that Egan had rejoined the Physical Force party, but he should not think such a course unnat ural. Referring to his speeches in Amer ica, as reported in the Irish World, the witness said he could not accept the reports as correct. Ford garbled the speeches in order to suit the taste of the readers of the Irish World. The witness had never made this statement publicly, because it was not necesary. Recurring . to the secret societies, Parneil said he considered that a per son who j jined the League and con tinued to be a member of the Clan Na Gael, acted to the injury of the League's policy. Any member of the League who would advocate the . use ot dynamite wos a traitor. 3erloaa Charses Aiealaat the President and Matron. Chicago. May 7.

Just bow the lire started is not known, but it is supposed that a lamp which was left I burning in the hall exploded and .started the flames. When Mr. Bownes was awakened by the crackling of the flames, the fire had already gained great: headway and the bouse was fill ed with smoke. Bownes immediately gave the alarm and then started to carry his wife into the open air; in doing this he was severely burned about the feet and body and Mrs. Bj wnes was also burned about the head, neck and shoulders.

One day when I was in Governor Riehardsont parlor at the Hoffman Heuse a big, soldierly look man, with grizzled hair and beard, came in and aaked if anyone knew where Goyeruor Fowle. of North Carolina, could be toandt Nobody present could give the information desired, but the gen tleman was induced to wait until the information could be obtained. A bottle of wine was opened and while the visitors accepted the hospitality of the staff he told why he wished to see North Carolina's G ivernor. His name, he said, was Gen J. G. Wright. He had been a New Yorker and a' mem ber of the Seventh Regiment, but wan now a cosmopolitan, living '.at different times in different Statot. During the first year of the war he had assisted in capturing the Gover nor of North Carolina, who was then a colonel, and had him for some time in his keeping. A strong friendship sprang up between them, and be tried to make Col. Fowle's captivity as bearable as possible. When he was exchanged the North Carolinian made him promue to notify himr if ever he should, in turn, be made a prisoner. Two or three years passed and the Federal soldier was captured by the Confederates! He ascertained the lo cation of his old friend, the enemy," and wrote him. In a short time the officer who. had him in charge re ceived a note from Col. Fowle re,, questing that every courtesy f hould ,be shown to the prisoner; and he him pelt received !a warm letter from the North Carolinian, with a $500 Confed erate bill as an in closure, and the postscript that more money awaited him when he needed it. ' " In course of time Gen. Wright was exchanged, but he always longed to meet the friend of prison times. Not until that friend was revealed a the Governor of North Carolina and an attendnnt 'it the Centennial, ceremo nies did he find out what had become of him ; and where he was. . Col. Springs, who presently came in, was able to furnish him with Governor Fowje's New York address, and after a pleasant conversation and a cordial farewell the Union veteran left to meet his Confederate friend. The in cident has seemed to mo worthy of record " A Wounded Soldier Ueard From. CorrearxndQce of the Heaaeoirr. Charlotte, N.

We urge the nnmorUl observance, but protest that there must be no neglect of the living. Now, in addition to the strewing of flowers over the graves of our leyed ones, let us do something to remedy this "hungry bell?" business, and with that end in view, I offer the fol lowing suggestion I propose that each surviving soldier contribute on Memorial Day the amount of income for one day. Surely ail can spare that much for the relief of his old comrades. and not be any the worne for it.
