A SILLY LIE OCI OP THE WHOLE CLOTH. - .c icucu iuc luiiuwia letter from one of the best citizens or Alexander couDty, a former r.ep- resentative in the Legislature Fiease answer the charge which the Reps-Pops, are making for the purpose of damaging Governor A y cock and the Democratic party 'That the Goyernor has allowt.d himself to be used as a tool by the Roma 1 Catholics for the purpose of saving the life -of that negro rapist oouncu at uayetteviiie. The Reo .fops, are making this charge in rr y section, stating that we need expe it nothing but lynching for sui h crimes when the Governor ofagre.it State thus allows himself to be use 1. Please give the people through your paper a ciear statement of.the- Goy ernor s connection with this casi. anu inns aeiend a great man and great cause." We see from yesterday's Raleigh News and Observer that our correspondent made the same r3 questofthat paper. Our Raleigh 'contemporary prints an admirable statement of the whole case, which we regret we cannot print for want of space As we understand the. case, many people in Cumberland county e.; 1 t . . t pressea to tne Governor doubts of Councill's guilt, and Governor Ay cock respited him twice in order that the case might be investigated." Governor Aycock sent ex-Judge Womack to Cumberland county "to make an examination into the who?e matter. When Judge Womack ro portedhis findings, the Governor announced that he waSvatisGed ct the negro's gmhf ant! that he woyld not again iuttriert' tion which as set f,r August J. Ox August 9th, -however, Associate Justice Douglas, df the State bu- prfctna Court, issuea an oruer A-ji re-hearing of the case by that cpurti which did not meet until August 2tth, and GoverLor Aycock, as" was bis plain duty, .again respited the negro until the State's highest court . . , - 1 could again pass upon his guilt or innocence. This is Governor Aycock 's con nection with the case. He has been painstaking in his desire to get at the truth, and finally he cama to the i conclusion that the negro was-guilty, yvhan he hnnounced that he would a iowthc law to take.tts course. In the Loeaatimea member of the Supreme Court issued an older for a re-bear- icg,and oj course the Gov ernor gave the court time to re hear the case. T irough it all Governor Acock s course has been such as might have ' , consistent, devoted member of the Baptist church, Charies B. Aycock ;s the last man in North Carolina .bims'ef- lQ be usedas a tool by the Catholics,or any other sect, for any evil purpose. We might retaliate on these Alex ander county Republicans and Rop ulists bv calnnir tfceir atieution to the fact that Justice Douglas, who issued the order for a re-hearing, is both a Republican and a Catholic, but we do not believe he was influ enced by either his politics or hi reliirion. although the condemned negro is both a Republican and Catholic. This Alexander Republi can and Populist charge against Governor. Aycock is one of the very silliest of the many silly stories cir culated by members of those parties for political effect; and, in making this assertion, we are not unmind ful of thut, promise of "forty acres and a mule" made to the negroes just after the war, nor of that Radi cal bugaboo of the amendment cam paign, ' The Democratic party wants to disfranchise poor white men," its own most loyal members.
