Governor Caldwell deserves the nom ination, ills services to the IleDubli can party cannot be overlookpd. nr hi clai ma ignored without the basest ingrat- iuc jmriur ins pomicai mends. He is; beyond doubt, the strongest man wmcn tne liepublican party can put b,efore the people. His administration has been eminently successful in every point of view, and considering the pe- 1 noa when he assumed the chair of htate, his success has been wonderful. All-recollect the fact that he was in ducted into the chair against his ardent - 5 - 1 A 1 .a . wisnes, inrougn tne oase ana malevo lent action of a Ku Klux Lecislature. who thought by deposing Gov. 1 1 old en they would thereby forever disgrace me itepuDiican party of .North Caroli na. xney nuie recKoneu tne conse quences of their act, that, in fact, they would be " hoist with their own petard." Gov. Caldwell, at that time, formed alone the only bulwark that opposed the tide of malignant opposi tion which threatened to deluge ana forever destroy the Republican party. The party was in it hopeless minority in the Liegislature, and was prostrate and paralyzed in every limb. The weal or woe of our party was with him ; and a sincrle error-a single false sten and all would have been lost, and his head too would have rolled into the receptacle which received Gov. Hol den's. His enemies, with tiger-like watchfulness, eagerly scanned his ac tions, in the hope to catch him una wares. But they signally failed ! How well has he fulfilled his trust ! The old Republican ship righted quick ly under his guiding hand, and is now gliding prosperously beyond the torpe do of Convention, and the angry break ers of Ku Kluxism, in the glad waters of peace and success. While the storm was at the thickest, and the good Re publican ship was in the greatest dan irer. he was called to the Wheel, and his arm of nerve, and his knowledge of me ireacnerous coast aioug wmcn me ship was scudding, alone saved us from disastrous shipwreck. Does not this noble service deserve reward? The Ku Klux Democracy, with its overwhelming majority in the General Assembly, have legislated in vain to break down his administration. Ev ery expedient which the most malig nant hate could invent, has been used to this end. But he has foiled them all. His opponents have been forced to gnash their teeth in impotent rage, defeated and discomfeited at every step. As a consequence, no person who has ever occupied the Executive chair ? not even Gov. Holden himself has been subjected to a more deluging tor rent of abuse, calumny and misrepre sentation induced by baffled rage. His every act, resulting in good to his State and party, has been impeached, while it can be truthfully said that no State representative ever had less moral support from the press of his party. Shall we, by refusing to ad vance him to a position which is in a regular line of promotion, and wrhich as a subaltern, he has temporarily fill ed so successfully and satisfactorily, thereby endorse arid ratify the slander and calumny which has been heaped ' uim him ? Shall we go back upon the tried friend and champion of our cause when we were in tribulation and distress, after he has led our forces to victorious battle? Surely not! If we should do so, such base ingratitude would deserve rebuke, and Lytrilv be lieve, that indignant and oi"id jus tice would revolt at the act, hnd mete out due chastisement. Republicans will remember that un der Gov. Caldwell's administration, every political wound which was cor rupting the body politic has Been heal ed. It is now in a live, active," healthy, prosperous condition. Good and true men all over the State who have here tofore acted with the Democracy are marshaling under our banners, induced to this step by the wise course the par ty has pursued, which has led them to -believe that Republican principles, honestly and justly carried out, are the acme of human liberty and good gov ernment. Should Governor Caldwell be re-nominated he will be elected by an overwhelming vote. The masses trust him. He is no new man he has been tried, and they know of what ma terial he is made. Therefore, let the Republicans of North Carolina lay aside local preferences, and in the ap proaching Convention, cast from them every selfish and personal considera tion, and act with a common purpose for the good of the party by nominating the people's first choice, Tod R. Cald well He has been the Moses of the Republican party. He lead it from the bondage of defeat, across the wil derness of humiliation into a full view of the Canaan of permanent success. Let us make him the Joshua of our Hosts In the coming battles with the Hittitesand Amonitesof Democracy, and such a loud shout of victory will be given by the people next .August , as will cause the very walls of Ku Klux Jericho to crumble to their foundation.

Y. Hehald. 'A letter from A, B. Henderson, the correspondent of the N. Y. Herald,' writing from Scuffletown, March 22nd; 1872, says,; 1-;ca 'Ui ':zzlU ? : The most important piece of information I have to communicate shall, be given first. Henry Berr Iiowery, the notable chief of the notorious swamp outlaws is actually dead. This is denied by all of his comrades, and hil relatives nrofess to be ignorant of his fate. But from evidence the most relia ble, when connected with a well-connected chain of circumstances I am enabled to give you a correct account, of ; .. -tvt "t - I the' death of this robber chief. . Between February 13 and 16, In company with fidtis A.chates, Jioss strong, aenry Berry Lowery was ranging the country in the neighborhood of Moss Neck in search of some persons vhom he had been inform ed were hunting him, while Steve and Tom Lowerv and Andrew Stronar were stationed at a rendezvous on Lumber River, jiear the . new bridee " About one and three-quar ter miles from Moss Neck station, within. short srunshot of the road leading from In- raan'u Bridge to McNeil's mill, they dis covered in the bushes a newly-made "blind' (a place of concealment or ambush made by intertwining the branches of the thickly grown bushes). - It was not then occupied, and Henry Berry. beMeving it had been re centlv made bv one of his pursuers, who would shortly return to it, ensconsced him self in it. while Boss made a blind for him self a short distance oft; covering the road. But a few minutes after they had placed themselves in their respective positions the report of a eun was heard from Henry's nidi n 2 place, and when Boss, who waited to hear a word from his chief or an answer ins shot from an enemy, cautiously ap proached the spot, Henry Berry Lowery lay on his back,' with one barrel of his shot gun discharged and his nose, loreneaa , and the . , .r. '; . WHOLE FRONT OF HIS HEAD- BLOWN OFF.: The broken ramrod and the missing : wiper showed he bad been trying to draw a load from his erun. Boss drew tne body into a thicket, and notifiedfcis companions, who straightway buried him where, in all: hu man probability, the eye of man will see him never. ' .ul-A- Thus perished this remarkable man. and his death marks the dissolution of this most formidable body of desperadoes The large sum of money he was said to be in posses sion of is also lost to the country, for no member of the band, not even Boss nor his wife, knew the whereabouts of his treasure chest. The remaining outlaws have made diligent search, but as yet have had their labor for their pains. , Henry Berry was said to have had a good deal of money,, be sides his share of the proceeds of the Lum- berton Bank, from which some thirty thou sand dollars : were . taken. It appears to have been his habit of appropriating to his own use THE LION'S SHARE OF ALL MONEY if taken, giving his subjects the other booty. We attach no importance to the state-. ment that Henry Berry Is dead. We lay this portion of the letter before the public for what it is worth. We do not believe that Lowery is dead. He is probably lurk ing around, and will come to view by kill ing McQueen, who, it is said, shot Boss Strong. Escaped. We learn rom the Winston Republican that Jacob Siewers broke jail at Winston on Saturday night, the 23rd inst., and made good his escape. J acob jjvas charged with an aggravated burglary.

Common Jail. Enterprise. The Charlotte Democrat says sometime ago the New York Herald had a reporter to go to Robeson county and write an imaginative and fictitious account pf the Lowrey gang, putting noble blood in their veins, Ac, when the fact is they are nothing but descendants of the lowest class of "frce-mulattoes" of that section. But recently the Herald sent a reporter to Rob eson named Henderson for the purpose of having him fall into the hands of outlaws, so as to create a sensation in that way. Hen derson walked straight to the outlaws' camp and then it was telegraphed North that he was captured. So much for news paper enterprise. But it is strange, that the outlaws can Visit a-Depot on the W., C: & II. Railroad, In broad day light, and no attempt is made to kill or capture them. If the people in that neighborhood permit such daring impu dence and make no attempt at capture, we don't see how they can blame others for not arresting the gang. STTf!EY.

Your correspondent is mistaken as to ocation. The incident referrred to, occurr- !ed in the Court House at Rurtherfordton. Education Under this head, our es teemed and valuable cotemporary the Winston Republican gets off the follow- mg : .: : v : The Raleigh Sentinel, reviewing the sta tistics of the Penitentiary, concludes there is great necessity of more universal- educa tion. This is ail teue,ana uone wiusearcn out the statistics concerning the Ku Klux criminals in the Penitentiary' at Albany and the docket of the U.S. Court in this and other Southern States, tho great neces sity of jeducation, in other quarters lhan those from whence came our State convicts, will be apparent. And in addition to the need of education there will be found an other and greater one the necessity of hu manity and civilization. - Sudden Death. The Greensboro Patri ot of the 28th, says Mr. John McAdoo, one of our oldest citizens, and well known to the people of our county, was struck with paralysis on Wednesday morning about eight o'clock and died at four in the after noon. ;.
