' ' " Meeting,
Pursuant to previous notice a large
and resj.ectable "Republican meeting
was held at the Court House in Gold
boro, on Saturday, the 4th inst.
The meeting was organized by call
ing John Robinson, Esq.. to the chair
and appointing John T. Pearson secre
tary. -
The object of the meeting was ex
plained by. the chair, to be a ratification
of the nominations ot the Republican
State Convention at Raleigh, on the
17th and 18th of April, 1872, and the
appointment of delegates to the Con
gressional District Convention at Wil
son on the 9th inst., to nominate a
Republican candidate for Congress in
the second Congressional District.
On motion, a committee often was
appointed by the chair to report reso-
1 .-. 4 A n il .11 m xl .

cuateiy retired for consultation. '
During the absence of the committee
the meeting was addressed by Friend
Ed Copeland, and Friend J T Pearson,
who made excellent speeches in sup
port of true Republican principles and
all the nominees of our late Republi
can State Convention.
After a short absence the committee
on resolutions returned and reported
the following, which were unanimous
ly adopted by the meeting: ;
Whereas, The Republican State Con
vention at Raleigh on the 17th of
April, 1872, representing the best in
terests of all the peaceable and well
meaning people of North Carolina,
without distinction of race or color,
did nominate candidates for the differ
ent State offices, which we feel confi
dent will receive a large majority of the
votes of all the free men of this State
on the first Thursday in. August next ;
And Whereas, The condition of pub
lic affairs at this time calls upon every
true friend oT Republican principles to
exert his utmost efforts, in a quiet and
lawful manner, to sustain the present
administration and the men who will
use their firm and determined exer
tions to promote and protect our com
mon interests ; therefore,
Resolved, That the action of the State
Convention held in Raleigh on the 17th
of April, commands our hearty approv-
alt and we hereBy record our pledge to
use our best energies in securing the
success of the entire nominations of the
Convention.
. Resolved, That in Hon. C. R. Thom
as, our present worthy representative
in Congress, we have a man of unblem
ished character, sound Republican
principles and of incorruptible hones
tv, and whilst fully endorsing him in
the past, we hereby recommend his re
nomination for Congress in the secwid
Congressional District, and instruct our
delegates uncompromisingly to support
him in the Convention to assemble in
the town of Wilson, on the 9th in.
Resolved, That in the present honest
and faithful administration of the Fed
eral Government, under President
Grant, when the commerce of the coun
try is gradually Increasing in prosperi
ty and value, and when those who cul
tivate the soil are receiving fair com
pensation for their labor and toil, it
J,.,i,i in rnr nninion be unwise to
change the present administration of
the Government, when the certain re
sult and effect of such changei would be,
to reduce the prices of agricultural pro
ducts, to injure and depress labor, and
cramp and embarrass the agricultural
and commercial interests of the whole
Resolved, That we avail ourselves of
the present opportunity oi

With Ralls. . ; :
,?ya letter received by a gentleman
of this city yesterday, which was con
firmed by passengers on the Wilming
ton, Charlotte and Rutherford Rail
road, yesterday afternoon, we have the
sad intelligence of the death of j Col.
F. M. Wishart, of Robeson county; who
was murdered by the outlaws on Thurs
day morning. We give the particulars
of this bloody tragedy as far as they
have come to hand : . It seems that the
outlaws sent a message to Col. Wishart
in the early part of last week, endeav
oring to make an appointment to meet
him on Tuesday, but for some cause or
other he declined to accede to their re
quest. They subsequently met him at
Moss Neck and requested a private in
terview with him, behind a certain
building there, which he granted, on
onriflif lrr hf l-io cVinnlrl rnoot Anrlrmxr
Strong alone, and that Stephen Lotvrey
should keep at a distance. He was in-
ormea oy Anarew troug tnai ne ana
he other outlaws were tired of their
present mode of life and were desirous
of agreeing, upon some terms of surren
der. .With this object in view, they
wished to meet him (Col. Wishart) pri
vately and freely ana fully discuss the
matter. Finally, at parting, Strong
intimated that they should send for
him in a few days, and urged - him,
when requested to meet them, to obey
me summons. j

were four in number one in the head,

- The Cincinnati Convention proved
more forcibly .than any other political
event sinoe the downfall of Tammany,
the power of organization.- The- dele
gates to that Convention from the larg
er part of the country went there ani
mated with one desire only to pro
mote the cause of reform. The dele
gates from this city, however, avent
there thoroughly organized and backed
byJ the outside rabble who could be
procured for free lunches and railroad
passes; they were old political ring
masters who had manipulated Conven
tions by disreputable instruments be
fore ; and they were animated by an
other desire, which was to promote the
interest of their own faction and to de
stroy the opposite faction. They sim
ply made the Cincinnati Convention a
continued chapter of the old quarrel
between Greeley and Murphy, and the
result is simply the triumph of one lo
cal political ring over another.
; It is no surprise to those who know
the animosity and determination of
this ring, which went to Cincinnati in
Mr. Greeley's interest, thaf so small a
knot of men were able to control seven
hujidred delegates. They were thor
oughly organized and had their
f 'strikers" ready lor any use. Cochrane
and Hutchins and the other "reform
ers." who have been apt scholars and
teachers by turns in the gutters of New
York politics, were ready for any emer
gency. When a State was without
delegates, they had. their tools on hand
to is wear that they represented it, al
though they, like Rocky Moore, were
honored citizens of the Five Points or
Mackerelville. A correspondent in
Cincinnati, who ought to know, writes
us that the Alabama, Arkansas, North
Carolina and South Carolina delega
tions were packed in that way. Maine,
New Hampshire, Georgia, Mississippi
and several othecStates were undoubt
edly manipulated to suit this wretched
ring. By "outside pressure," by
threats and by cajolery, where their
usual tricks would not do, they suc
ceeded in forcing a bargain upon men
who were not so well organized, and
stuffed their favorite style of political
leadership and their pet candidate
down the throats of the Sincere and
honest men who went there with a
good purpose.
Is this reform ? On the contrary, it
is the triumph of a corrupt faction,
which is organized simply with the
purpose of private revenge and public
plunder. N. Y. Evening Rost.

The nom?ees of the Ku Klux Dem

not as available as it seems might have
been chosen out of the party of "wealth
and intelligence." ' '
i Judge Merrimon doubtless has talent,
but he has a record, which for incon
sistency and bargain-and-saletlveness,
stands unrivaled. He always claimed
to be a Union man and invited Col.
Geo. W. Kirk into a Union meeting at
Asheville. Notwithstanding this, in
1868, for the position of Supreme Court
Juflge, he deserted every principle
whinh he had advocated in the past,
and linked heart and soul with Ku
Klux Democracy, . he has time and

Vakcey county, N. C,--ADt noon,
the gnd. of My, C." N.lKeith, Deputy
Marsial, attempted to arres.t Erwin Dnyck,
near Hyram Proffltt's, in ..yancey county,
with a United J State's warrant, whe
Duyck refused. toi be arrested and drew a
pistol and siiop deputy uarsuui achu
through the bowels and rum So far has
made his escape. ! A Doctor was sent for at
once, but Mr. H. Proflatt, who went for the
Doctor, says he did not think Marshal Keith
could1 live until Dr. Houston got there.
Duyck is a Ku Klux. It is reported he has
been skulking about in , the mountains for
sometime. ., j f' -' -r-.
P. S. Since the1 above was written we
have received a letter from which we make
the following extract : -
- Asheville, N. C, May 6, 1872.
Sincd I wrote you our county has been
sTiruVlf with the sad news of the death of
onAofour snecial DeDutv Marshals, C. N.
Keith, who was shot while attempting to
arrest a Ku Kiux in l ancey couniy.ouj
Thursday evening. I have not yet learned
the particulars ; however, some other Dep
uties have gone to see him. What I have
learned of the matter I will tell you : OnT
Erwin Duyck was loafering and scouting
around in. YanceVcountv. Keith was pass
ing through that county, and had a capias,
rant, for him, and when in about 50 yards
of him, Keith halted Duyck, when Duyck
turned and commenced firing upon Keith.
Keith, by the time Duyck had fired th
first shot, commenced firmer lao ; noth par
ties werA on tneir horses, and rather advan
cing towards each other. About the third
fire from Keith's pistol shot Duyck through
the shoulder, , the ball making its ;way
through the lungs and lodged close to nis
back bone ; and about the fourth fire of
rtimnli- Vaifh was alint in at nnn siiiA. and
the ball passed through his 'bowels, and I
think went, clear tnrougn ana ouu How
ever, neither of the braves stopped at this,
but advanced on, and fired every shot that
was iri their revolvers. Friday night news
was received that Keith was dying. Fri
day morning Duyck was spitting up blood,
arid expected to die, every moment. I have
had no news since. Keith was a neighbor
of mine, and was? as good a young man as
ever our county produced. .
Keith shot JJuycK witn a large navy pis
tol and I guess he is shattered very much.
p. s. Since the above was put in type,
we learn that Keith is dead. .
Suicins with A Grape Vine Orange
Court. The Hillsboro Recorder of the 9th,
says Mr. John D.f Wilkerson, a worthy and
most estimable citizen of- this county went
out Tuesday -morning of last week, a mile
from his house, made a rope of a grapevine,
climbed the tree and tied it, fixed the noose
around his neckband jumped off the limb.
He was swinging dead when found. The
good man had been under mental aberration
for some time. , : . . . .
Alar that.. .Tiide Toureee opened his
court on Monday last, at 10 o'clock. The
case of a colored boy charged with assault
upon a colored girl with intent to commit
rape, was taken up and the court assigned
Maj. J. W. Granam as counsel for defen
dant. The plea of non compos "was made for
him, but he was found guilty and sentenced
to five years in the Penitentiary. The State
vs. William S. Sheilds, for an assault upon
W. D. Cole, found guilty and fined ten dol
lars and cost, i ,
The State against Flera Hall a colored
woman indicted for child murder more than
a year ago will probably be ; continued on
account of the absence of one of the pris
oner's witnesses. : I - i
On the Civii Docket, a very important
decission was; made by Judge Tourgee. A
motionwas made to amerce the Sheriff for
refusing to levy and . sell a tract of land,
hon-contigious to the home tract, which
had been assigned and laid off to the defen
dant as a Homestead. The counsel for the
plaintiff contended that the act of the' Gen
eral Assemoly of l6-:ey allowing uuu
contigious tracts to be assigned as Hoine
steads was unconstitutional, the court sus
tained the point and granted the motion,
the defendant, appealed to the Supreme
Court J : - ; '.
If this decision is confirmed by the Su-
Court, it will create a flutter among
i ,
the Homesteads.

will be found the advertisement of the Wil
