CARD. x
Mr. Editor: The Southern
Home of the Gth inst.. has a card
from Mr. Schenck, that contains
a uc(?rtifrcate" over the signature
of I. R. Seit, which as it is lull of
statements concerning myself, I
wish to notice.
The - first remark I wish to
make is this ; that the certificate'
is written by Mr. Schenck, and
only adopted by Mr. Self.
The second remark is, that it is
a lie Irom beginning to end. 'I
was. prevailed upon to have my
name withdrawn by Mr. James
A. Caldwell." lie intended to
say I was prevailed upon by Mr.
James A. Caldwell to have my
name withdrawn. Now, the fact
is, 'that I was sent Tor by r. If.
Motz, 4ito come over," there is
somet fling upv'' on Saturday morn
iug before the election, in the year
1870. When I got to Mr. Motz's
store lie at once informed me that.
Mr. Self, who was in the store at
the time, "intended to withdraw,"
and he then asked me to "be a
candidate .for the Legislature"
myself. I said 10. He next
'asked, '"what should be done.?"
I told him I did not know until
we had a consultation. I then,
on an interview with Mr. Self,
was informed by iiim, that he un-
( I e rstood that "himself and about 100
others, naming a) few of them, were
reported at Jlaleigh for be'nuj Ka
Klux." I think he told me that
the report came from' MrSlowe,
-who whs lnltateign at tife trrutr;
and that he thought it would be
best for him to 'vitlidraw. After
some time spentxwith Colonel
IToke, L. E. Thompson, Mr. Self
and -myself on one side, and Mes
srs: V. Q. Johnson, J. G. Justice
i.nd R. J. Brevard on the other,
it was agreed to. withdraw Mr.
Self from the contest. Mr. Self
next savs th it I "wrote a letter to
M r. J. M . Smith, a s u p u o i t e r of
Mr. Bvnum, stating that the party
could not get mv services in the
Legislature, if elected, because 1
was a Ku Klux and would be ar
rested and imprisoned." There
is not a syllablet truth in this
statement. I had written to Mr.
Smith, thari whom no better man
ever lived in this or any other
community, hut who is now dead ;
some time before, to prevent this
bringing out 'independent candi
dates, "that if ne -vould. not press
the thing I hoped to get Mr. Self
to withdraw, and havea candidate.
nominated from, the Eastern part
of the iounty that would be ac
ceptable to everybody." I did
this because the people of the
Ka'st were dissatisfied, that the
West had nearly all the candidates,
and quite all the important ones.
This is the sum and substance ot
mv letter to Mr. Smith, and there
is not a word of Ku-Klux in ii.

you should often engage in such
u perilous undertaking. The
bear has already caught you, and
is now squeezing you so that
there will not be a "grease spot"
left of you poor Self. As often as
it pleases him, he puts you up as

down xas a block-head. You
should remember that four years

Civil Rights."
But for this hobby we do not
know, what our Democratic politi
cians would have done for some
thing to ride through the present
campaign. , -They have tried every
issue that has ever been sprung,
some times on one side, then the
other, then " forward and back,"
coquetting with any issue which
promised to " take "for the season.

" Civil rights " is a new name
for the old hobby of 1SG8. Then
every white man was appealed to
or slashed with abuse in order to
ju-iiig him into a white man's party,
because there were more white

all white men vote one way, they,
being in the majority, save all the
spoils for the inner ring to enjoy
and fatten upon. ' But let us ex

Fearful Foreboding!.
Looking to the general defeat of
their party in North Carolina, our
Democratic opponents are becoming
furiously desperate, and are sending
into the field the best talents of
which they are possessed to preju
dice, if possible, the white against
the colored race. And to do this
they took civil rights, mixed schools,
etc., etc. ; and the hideous pictures
which their ingenuity suggests would
adorn the columns of tho Days
Do'mgs.,
Stump speaking is not their only
means of assault thoy issue secret
circulars, and in these circulars they
print the effusions of their own pro
line brain. And they do more, they
write cards and publish them in tbeir
party papers, assailing the private as
well as the public character of whit
Republicans,
Party degeneration has never be
fore exhibited itself to such an extent
as it now does in North Carolina;
and if we did not know the temper
of our people, we should conclude
that North Carolina was just on. tho
eve of a civil war.
.But the day of election will settle
this great com motion. Quietly th
Republican party are working togeth
er against their common enemy
and quietly the Democratic party
will be defeated and quietly they
will submit, and "accept, the situa
tion.
Surely the Democratic party must
have put their weakest men in the
field, since it has become necessary
for Judge Fowle, Major Englehard
and others to take the stump in their
aeience.
Their case must be desperate when
the sedate and unassuming Ashe, of
our owncity, feels it "his bounden
duty" to "appear in public on the
stage
of poJitics to pled for Davis I ,
How tremulous the party must
Mr. Davis and Democracy !
The truth is, the Democratic par
ty sprang the civil rights question as
the great electioneering hobby, and
in doing so, to use a common ex
pression, they , "put their foot in it,
and it requires "all the talent and
all the eloquence to extract them
find then they will fail, and they
knoio it Raleigh Republican.
Lack of Dignity, '
The Carolina Herald seems des
titute of that dignity which should
charae'erize a high toned news pa
per. Old warriors, like Maj En
glehard, of the Journal, have long
learned to respect an opponent, and
to attack only when a principle of
their faith has been ignored, or some,
offensive act calls for their disapprov
al. This is what is understood as an
honorable -warfare; but the Herald,
with the bitterness of an insulted ap
pie vender on the corner of a city
thoroughfare, heaps abuse upon Gov,
Brogden, calling him a "fool," and
his accession to the chair. of State, ft
"great calamity."
Gov. Brogden, we are sure, can
and will Jangh at his little assailers ;
he can afford to smilo when they
snap at him, as there is really no
poison in their fangsT"
But, in all candor, we ask those
papers that have assailed Gov. Brog
den because of his accession to th
position of Governor, if it would not
be in better taste to wait - for some
official act of the Governor before
attempting the defamation of hi
character?
Gov. B., a self-made man, is ac
knowledged as a man of fine abili
ties, and his administration will prove
him fully capable of the office. Ral.
