Mr. Manning replied JluurJ Smith again 3lit. editor: There was a grand rally of Republicans at this place yes terday. Zebulon, tho great war horse oi me lrecien Democracy was on hand to comfort tho , Klans and heal tho breaches already made in their ranks. Dr. I. W. Jones, of Rowan, led off -rMwrpecctittf tm .hoar, rctlewlng the' arty or violence from the day of liurr's - treason down to the surrender at Cin cinnati. He appealed to the old Whigs 10 come out or tne ranks of their natur al enemies and join hands with the on ly party wnieh had faith of Clay and fort was a powerful one. and drew out ance's fiercest maledictions in the re ply. It is useless to speak of the Ex Governor's harangue. It was tho same old coon, with another ring around his tail. Platitudes about civil liberty, the tyranny oi urum-neaa court martials, c, witn aouse or Abbott and Ilolden crowning the whole with a fulsome eulogy on Horace this was the speech. He charged Grant's administration with stealing one hundred million dol iars ana gave unrus's civil service re form report as bearing him out in the assertion. Virtuous Jimmv Le:ieh. the leral adviser of the Ku Klux and the bonds man of 1. O. Estes, whom he denounces as a defaulter, says this too. Both these white hat disciples know perfect ly well that the report makes no such statement. What it does say, and this they have no doubt memorized, is that blockading, insufficient securities on bonds of tax payers and losses by col lectors after suits have been brought against them cause a decrease to the revenue of some large amount, say one nunarea millions from what might be collected with the same under a system of government purely Platonic iTom this perversion he passed on to his usual denunciation of revenue om cials. Just here Collector Mott of the Cth District, threw a wet blanket over Zeb. from which ho never recovered. It happened in this wise: Vance had given a glowing description of the lux ury and style, which tax collectors in duJged in, who before they come in of fice couldn't buy a shirt, Ac lie de scribed how they lived: in big white houses with painted palings and all around them snug and cozy. Here the unterrified cheered lustily. Now it so happens that Dr. Mott lives in a big whitn hnn5A nnd that hA hns Intel v hnri his palings painted and other improve- majority. inenis auueu, wnicn are conspicuous in a village of this size. The Doctor, how ever, lived in white houses many years Ixjfore tax collectors were thought of. The crowd cheered, because they thought of Mott, whom while they re spect and esteem, they still regard as the chief thorn in the side of Iredell Democracy. Mott bounced from his .seat in the. audience like a wounded tiger from his cover. He told Zeb. to say yes or no and that quickly to the uuestion. "do you mean to include me in that catecrory." Zeb. didn't mean ' to include" you bet. After this in terruption the starch disappeared from the orator and a cold chill settled on his retainers. He repeatedly asked Col. Dockerv if his time "was out seeming to say 44 oh delivqr me from . this body of death." The closing words struggled lame and impotent. J lis ha tred to the national government and the negro were called into play, but with all the lashing he could give him self these failed him, and he sat down praying for peace and deliverance from revenue officers. Oliver Dockery then took the crowd in hand, and by Democratic admission made the most capital talk ever heard in Iredell. Vance sat under him with Ixnved head and dejected countenance, appearing as in truth he was, the sin offering of the Democracy. . , How Oliver pulled him this way and 'that, made him ashamed of his Ku Klux apologies, taunted him with his lart in putting the Broadhead plat form before the country and then de nouncing Caldwell for usurpation, how he threw Greeley at him with his " on HON.

When these questions are answered by his friends, The Cotton Crop. The following is a brief synopsis of the statement of area and condition of tho present cotton crop," which will ap pear in the June report of the Depart ment of Agriculture: v - i; An increase in tne cotton area is re ported in every State. A very small proportion or counry returns snow a decrease of acreage. . Planting was gen erally retarded by a protracted season of drought, and fields that were plan ted late occasioned some trouble in obtain ing perfect stands; but the recent rains and renewed efforts in replanting have finally secured stands or average com pleteness. The percentage of increase in area, last years crop being the basis of comparison, is as iouows: jNortn Carolina, 16: South Carolina, 9; Geor gia, 12; Florida 10; Alabama, 11; Mississippi, 1U ; .uomsiana, n ; xexas, 18: Arkansas. 16: Tennessee, 12. The average increase throughout the cotton States will approximate thirteen per cent. Texas has naturally made the largest relative increase, not only having enjoyed a favorable season for planting, but also, during the past year, having received accessions oi immi grants, who are cotton planters. The condition of the plant through out the cotton section is very nearly a full average. Separating the Atlantic from the. more western States, the former stand a little below an average ; the latter are fully up to the standard of fair condition, j The . drousrht which prevailed in Apr the first half of May delayed growth, and cold nights in the more northern belt had a further retarding effect, but the abundant rains and genial temperature which followed wonderiuiiy invigorated and ad vanced the crop. The following hgures represent the condition of cotton in the several States, 100 standing for an average ; North Carolina, 96; ; South Carolina, 92; Georgia, 96 ; Florida, 95 ; Alabama, 105 ; Mississippi, 100 ; Louisiana, 104 ; Texas, 100 ; Arkansas, Vis ; Tennessee, 101.

Settle, and other prominent Republi cans, I shall just state that the above named gentlemen spoke here to-day, and that grinning Jimmy Leach also done his best, but he is not a match for such a man as Thomas Settle. Judge Settle showed up the Ku Klux in their true colors. t Gov. Caldwell led off in an able and authentic speech of about an hour and a half, and had a very attentive audi ence, about one-half of which was Dem ocrats. The whole county was repre sented by both white and colored. I believe this is the first time that this town was ever honored with a speech from Gov. Caldwell. Old Guilford will poll a full Republican vote in August. The Republican party 01 our town and county are jubilant over the tri umph of Settle's speech over Leach's. Jimmy grinned, stamped and made himself particular funny to the crowd of boys who cheered him just to get him to tell anecdotes and make funny iaces. I Mr. Settle made a speech f short du ration! which was hisrhlv fitted for the occasion, Jimmy Morehead was pres ent, and tried to say something for himself and his Democratic friends, but he made about the poorest speech I evor heard.

Six months after this wholesale appropriation of the people's money by this prince of scoundrels, and white the labortt-cqspn -and. eon tractors were clamoring for their pay, and the work on the road languishing for the want of money to prosecute it, Gen. T. L. Clingman, a director of this road, who could not possibly have been ignorant of the gigantic fraud perpetra ted by his friend and client, procures the adoption; of a resolution by the board representing the Stockholders o the road he had defrauded, sanctioning the most infamous action that ever went unpunished of men.

The gentle men nominated will thoroughly canvass their counties, and we desire to call their attention to the circulation of Republican papers. If tne candidates, from tne stump and! privately, will urge their friends to subscribe for Republican papers the circu- ation of The Era and other Republican journals will be greatly increased and the Republican cause strengthened in propor tion. Our terms are lower than any other paper, and are within the. reach of every body. Republican candidates will fail to do their whole duty if they do not attend to this matter. The candidates from Governor down are interested in this matter. The increased circulation will enure to the benefit of the party and of course will in fluence and aid the election of the various candidates. Within the last two weeks we have added three hundred new subscribers to our list. This is doing well. Those of our friends who have bestirred themselves for The Era have our thanks. We hope they will not relax their efforts. Those of our friends who have not sent us clubs of subscribers are1 requested to go to work and send sub scribers from every township. i be amended so as to change the present tax on distilled spirits from 50 to 70 cents per gallon. j ; On all wines, liquors or compounds fulled wine, but not made of grapes grown in the United States, and on all liquors not made from grapes, &c, grown in the United States, a tax at the rate of 10 cents per pint bottle, to be paid by special stamps.

The Commissioner of Patents has rendered his decision in contest between L. L. Armstead, of Virginia, and W. W. Black- well, Durham, North Carolina, as to the ownership of the celebrated brand of " Dur ham Smocking Tobacco." The Commis sioner decides tne brand not to be a legal trade mark for either party. He says : " If the case was a proper one for a judgment of priority, I should unhesitatingly give it to Armstead. But it is not such a case. The words 'Durham Smocking Tobacco' can not constitute a legal trade mark, and there fore cannot be registered. There is nothing gistrable in either Blaekwell's or Arm- steads's labels, and the office blundered when it gave a certificate of registration to Blackwell." h - ! minor to se- riO NOT FAN while on your Sin UU IMUli rttlL Excursion North cure one of the . - 4 CELEBHATED IMPIC OVKI) Stewart Cook Stovos With its special attachments.
