At a. third party meeting in a

defeated the movement badly.

A few nights ago, a most horri
ble murder took place in Greens
boro. Charles Blackman, colored,
got enough whiskey aboard to make
him desperate, and about 8 o'clock
p.m. fired a shot at Mollie Dal ton,
also colored, who was standing in
the door of her house. The ball
missed her only a few inches, and
buried itself in the post against
which she was leaning. While
the officers were searching ' for
Blackman for this offence and be
fore he could be found, he went to
the home of bia wife, from whom
he had recently parted, he having
beaten her and .been arraigned
therefor, and called lfr out, say
ing he wanted to talk to ber. She
refused to go, saying he could talk
to her there. With this the villian
drevr a revolver arid fird, the ball
going through her body and the
ceiling land vveatherlonrding be
hind lief. She fell and died almost
instantly. In a short time Chief
Weatherly had the murderer in
bracclWe, and he is now in jail.
Miss Juanifa Murry, of Burling
ton N .C, lrought suit against Wil
liam S. Hayes, of Burlington, N.
C, for defamation of character,
basing the action upon the crimi
nal docket not for money Tor her
self. The trial was had laht week
at Yaoceyville and much interest
was n anfested, both, sides being
ably presented. Hayes was found
guilty, and the character of Miss
Murry was fully and 'completely
vindicated. Loose-tongued Wil.
lihm was taxed all the cost, includ
ing $500 for Miss Murry's lawyer's
fees, amounting in nil to about
$1500. This should be a lesson to
all whose tongues are loose at both
ends. , Many pure and virtuous
women have suilered because of
the lying tongue of the vile nd
loathsome slanderer and as a
general thing the mean devil who
thiif traduces and villiries the fair
name of noman goes scot free. We j
are gh.d that such cases are being!
looked after and we hope that,
every time they will be "liberally'
punished.
Jocx B. Eaves has bcn re-elected
chairnlan of the republican State
executive committee. .In a speech
before the convention last Thurs
fj he paid that he neijeved the
i
white Alliancemen would join with
the republicans in purifying local
self-government. He announced
as the basis of . republicanism, the
absolute freedom and equality of
white and black, and believed that
if the republicans stood together
this year they would get victory.
The republicans must drop all
such things as "this county, or
that county is run by a nigger,''
and asked that they drop the word
"nigger" for five years. Said he
honestly believed that the Alliance
wa earnest in its efforts and that
if the Democratic party did not
j'ield the Alliance would give it
trouble; but this was not a repub
lican fight, and the republicans
must "stick together must keep
themselves straight." Now, a ques
tion ought to go straight home to
every true man: Are you willing
to aid and abet the party that
passed the iniquitous laws under
which we live by voting for any
third party ticket? Are 3-ou wil
ling to assist in precipitating a
rehearsal of the dark, infamous
and stormy scenes of ti e days of
"reconstruction ?'?
That is the inevitable result of a
third party ticket in this State
with a following of a few thousand.
The Lbader, whilo.it recognizes
the danger, refuses to believe that
any staunch and true man will
follow anv such wild cat scheme.

WASMBTOlf LETTER
( From
ur Rsulir CTTrpOHitit-)
asuiStotox, April 15, 1892.
!
Senator Hill's influence in the
House will be given a practical test
when the Noves-Koc.kwell contest
ed election case, which chairman
O'Ferrell, .of the election commit
ttee, has given notice will W called
up next Tuesday, comes before that'
body. The Election .commit te
with only one dissenting vote made
a report, not withstanding Senator
Hill's personal efforts to influence
i its dmocrfltic members, in favor
of Noyce ibe republican contestant.
This greatlv angered Senator Hill,
and he at the time announced his
intention to tight the report of the
committee, through his friends,-on
the floor of the House. It" is said
with how much truth only the vote
can tell, that Senator Hill has Se
cured pledges from a 'majority of
the House to vote to retain Rock
well in his seat in spite of the
committee's report. . For that rea
son the case is looked forward to
with much interest.
Secretary Blaine . is said to be
very much worried because of tju
p0rsiptoncy pf-his admirers in talk-
ing of his nomination against his
wishes. He told one 'of them this
week that he would not accept the
nomination to the Presidency if he
ivas unanimously nominated by
all the" National conventions to be
held this year.
Representative Bland took occa
sion during'the debate on an ap
propriation bill to charge that the
defeat of his' freo coinage bill was
due -to the : efforts of the Wall
street gold ring.
Many democratic members of
ti e House are showing a disposi
tion to "kick" against' the cheese
paring tendencies of Chairman
Hoi man, whose word appears to be
accepted as law by Hie democratic
members of the House committee
on appropriations, and threats are
being made of antagonizing some
of the items in appropriation bills
when they come before the House.
Some of the new members of
Congress are in danger of falling
into the clutches of a syndicate of
real estate speculators," which is
doing some fine work in the lobby
ing line in favor of the bill appro
priating $3,500,000 for the pur
chase of a ire and the erection, of
a new Patent Office on' the South
side of Pennsylvania Avenue. The
same syndicate worked the bill
through the last Congress for the
purchase of he site for the new
Washing on ; Post Office on the
South side of Pennsylvania Ave
nue, thereby getting about three
times a much for a square of very
undesirable property as it could
possibly have been sold for to pri
vate purchasers, although it was
known then j as well as it is now
thkt the location was a bad one iu
'very rspect
This iohbyj"rnnvinced,tho iaBt
""grw.-.h .nat, a swamp in wnicli it
is necessaiy to go down fort v feet
to find- 2 solid foundation to buifd
upon, was the proper place to
build a new city Post Office, and
it hopes to e as successful, in
doing l.he same with the new Pat-
ent Office, and unless Congressmen
get their information of the scheme
from the outs?de it looks as though
it may succeed, as both of the
Washington daily papers are help
ing along' the scheme of selling
this property to the Government.
Senatai Chandler enjoys, : the
distinction of having been the only
Senators by the peop!e, but the
speech was not marked by any ex
traordinary oratorical ability, al
though several points were shrewd
ly made; for instance ; his proposal
to include ip the'-constitutional
amendment provisions for the elec
tion of President, Vice President

Mr. Mcrritt Spcaiks.
Thb following is an extract from,
the speech of Mr. A. II. Merritt, at
the third party meeting held at
Pace's Mill in this county recently:
"He said: that the Alliance was
a nonpolitical organization. If it
went into politics it would become
amenable to the laws of the State
forbidding secret political societies
and consequently disrupt and ruin
the order "forever. The Alliance !
was a protest against bad legisla
tion. The Tepublicau party was
responsible for 'every oppressive
law upon the statute books. The
Alliance speakers' natd been at fault
in all their addresses to the people
in blaming the Democrats equally
with the republicans. The Demo
cratic party ;was of the people and
forjthe people and in full. 'sympa
thy with their j demands for reheL

to our best interests to desert the
Democratic party now. It would
make sure the defeat of the Demo
cratic candidate for'President and
fasten more firmly than ever the
grip of th I Republican party upon
the natio't. It would turn he
