Nay, more, I incline to the belief that all the branches of that once formidable and most dangerous organization are now crushed and buried. Impotent for further evil it would be but gracious in the government to spare the parties, now under appearance bonds, any fur ther costs or annoyance. ' In regard to Revenue Reform various speeches made ;in Congress and else where, will bear me out as having stood up for this. most necessary measure, long before our Democratic friends had heard the tocsin sounded at Cincinnati.

McKay or his friends are flaunted and reiterated, not withstanding the Colonel's public de-. nial of the charge. Sweet, pleasant Sampson county. The home ofdisor I der, as far as this district is concerned, publishes the statement. What are the facts? A Convention of Republicans met at Clinton, to nominate a candi date for Congress, and for other busi ness. They request permission to meet in the Court House, where public meet ings are generally held, but are refused! After some time, the delegates engaged a private room for which they paid an enormous price, and commenced busi ness. And then Democrats slid, in to hear what should be said. Among them was a former editor and expe rienced politician, looking and listen ing with the most careful attention to find some small expression or some thing out of which to make capital against our friends. Col. McKay was nominated and made a speech, and the expression "Parlor and Kitchen" was seized upon with avidity and rolled as a sweet morsel under the tongue. A letter to The Eagle was fixed up, and, extensively copied, and so Waddell has an opportunity to labor to inflame the passions and prejudices of his hearers and strive to procure his election upon that bias. Col'. McKay " called upon the Republican party to rally and carry the district, that our opponents would then quit saying that negrbe3 and scal awags lived in the kitchen, Whilst the wealth and intelligence lived in the parlor ; that if we beat them, such slang and abuse would cease, and Republicans would be more respected." Is there anything wrong in that? We regret we were not present to make a short hand report for The Post, but our space is so limited we cannot pub lish full reports of the many; good speeches being made in this campaign, and therefore our enemies take advan tage of there being no record and dis tort the facts. It is somewhat remarkable that as soon as a man beoomes a Republican he is charged by Democratic papers with utterances entirely at variance with his entire life. No matter how much he may have been lauded before, all is changed and the gentleman be comes a scoundrel! Now this is all wrong and utterly unjust. We are aware that the present political contest leaves the Democratic party no princi ples or platform to work on, and they amtherefore compelled to resort to per sonal abuse and sarcastic allusions, but we must enter our protest to this meth od of conducting a campaign. The wickedness of inflaming the passions of men, will certainly recoil upon the heads of the originators.

The Danbury Reporter says tho .farmers of that section report the wheat crop the best that they have had in ten years. The breadth of land seeded last fall was not as large as usual, but the increased yield will more than compensate the failure. Corn, rye and oats all at this time promises an abundant yield. , j The Charlotte Despatch says: We traveled last week through a good portion of Mcck lenburg, Gaston and Lincoln counties, and found the crops good everywhere. Accidents. Tho following items aro taken from the Goldsbpro' Messenger : We learn from our Onslow county friend, C. Stephens Esq., that a Mr. Atkinson was killed by a negro man, named Wiley Wil liams, in Jacksonville township, Onslow county, on Friday of last week. Atkinson lived until Sunday when he died. The mur derer has been arrested. We regret- that Mr. Cornelius Patrick, of Sampson county, had his right foot mashed between the car coupling, on the Excursion train, shortly before leaving the Wilming ton depot. His injury is painful but, we are glad to hear, not very serious. A horse of Mr. Levi Radford, residing near Boon Hill, was instantly killed by lightning last Monday evening. Two young men one of them a son of Mr. R., were out plowing when the storm came up. They sought shelter when the liarhtninfr struck a cherry tree near by, killing one of the horses, stunning the other, and seriously stunning the two men,who have been un der medical treatment ever since. We are glad to learn that they are recovering from the shock received. Flourishing- the susiension of the writ of habeas corpus. The bill was passed, and the Ku Klux Klan has been temporarily Squelched. IV. Because Mr. Greeley advocates the ifcLssaire of Senator Sumner's civil rights bill, which Democrats solemnly declare provides for and will force so- cial equality upon the people. V. Because Mr. Greeley recently made a. speech in Poughkeepsie, New York, in which he took ground for mixed schools, that white and black children. should be compelled to read out of the same books, sit on the same iK'iuhes, and mingle together as all .school children do. XI. Because Mr. Greeley donated fifty dollars to defray the expenses of old John Brown's trial, i VII. Because Mr. Greeley is the au thor of "Old John Brown's Soul is Marching on." . ' . I VI 1 1. Because Mr. G reeley is a lead- ing member of tho .Union League of America, - IX. liecause Mr. Greeley declares that all horso thieves : are Democrats but all Democrats are not horse thieves. Theso are. some of the reasons why Democrats should hurrah for Mr. Gree ley.

He says that though this tax may have been necessary it is no longer so, and that the Government should cease to levy direct taxes and raise its revenue by a tariff on foreign imports. The tax on the agricultural products of this country he regards as highly detrimen tal to the interest of the country. He thinks he can succeed in having the whole "infernal "revenue system abol ished, and that a Republican Congress will be far more inclined to,abolish it when asked by a Republican than if asked by a Democrat. The Republi cans will hardly listen to a proposition coming from a Democrat who has de nounced them for rascals and thieves. And he called attention to the fact that 'the Republicans will have the control of the Senate for six years to come with a Republican President for the next four years. " , He thinks our State Constitution needs amendments and favors calling a Convention in a lawful way to amend the Constitution. ; Maj.

But we trust not. A "married lady in Caswell has just had lour boys at one birtn, all very mucli aliKe, and all a kicking and doing well. Our in formant was told the name of the lady but we withhold it : for she fears competition in her neighborhood if the name of the flour ishing firm bo made too public. Sam Crawford in this county has found a new kind of oat3 in his pat lield. It is a ' black kind, I strong and healthy, and 72 stocks from one seed and 700 grains or 700 bushels from one sowing. He wants to know what it is. We learn that the kind is called Brunswick Oats and its not to be relied on at all as a Winter Oats, though it grows 8 inches above the other.
