Fiom the Windsor Lef er. , X in an old fiile of the Farm er and Mechanic says: In look ing over the records in. the Court House a few days ago, I stumbled upon some very interesting facts. I found that at the fall term 186G for AVake county, his Hon. Daniel G. Fowle, . presiding judge, that Generals Daaiel E. Sickles- and Thos. Euger, Jas. Bumford and Friday Jones, were indicted for obstructing the process of said court. I also observed on said recouts a requisition from his Hon or, the Judge,updn his Excellency, Governor Worth, demanding the pose comitatus of the coauty to arrest these named parties. The facis aie as follows: At this date the law of North Caroliua had not altered the pun ishment for all persons convicted of laiceny. It was thirty-nine lahes at the public whipping pot. A negioe was convicted, and the Judge, in compliance with the law, had ovdeied the sher:5 xo; take the pvisoTter to the "public whipping post in the jail yard and infl'ct upon him tbiity-nine lasha1'. In obedience to this oider of the court Sherltt Eay took the prison er to the whipping po.t and com menced operations. Just as he struck the eighth lick in rushed Generals S'ckies and Ruer and Maj. Bumford and Mi. Fi'day. Jouer. backed bv a Janre crowd, mostly ne- oes. and re -coed the pvisoue1 , took him fi om the she iti" and ca-ried i)m away. The sheriff promptly reported thisout iare to the court. At this iuuet- uie Hon. Sion U. Bogers, the At-toney-Geoeial. cuine into court. Judtre Fowle said: "Mr. Attorney General, do you know of any in terference on the part of any one with the t;eatence of this cour,." The Attorney General replied that he had witnes ed theinteiference, described it3 manner and form, and named the parties. Judge Fowle immediately said 4Mr. Attorney General, have the grand jury b ought into court.." This being xloue, he recited to them the fr 3c and said: ;'I direct you, geut'emen of the grand jury, to ret;re to your room and find b;lls of indictment aiast Daniel E. Sickles and Thomas Euger aud James Bumford, officers of the United States army, and Friday Jones, coloted, a cit'xen of Wake cou u ty, w hob a ve , w i th vio1 e n ce. oatiaod the laws of North Cavo lna." Tbs wr " done, and a ca pias was issued for the auest of the partie?. SheriTEay proceed ed at once to Gen. Euger's head quarters at the old palace, and approaching Gen. Euger, said: :Gen. Euger, I have come by ol der of the Court to arrest you; here is that order." Gen. Euger said: :Do you ee those bayonets! do you see those men! I will not be arretted; if you think you can (-wrest me proceed at your plea: - uie, and at the risk of your life." Sheriff Bay appeared in court lelated the lesnlt.and made known his inability to cary out the or der of sa;d court. Judge Fowle, when the sheriff had concluded, said: "Mr. Clerk, taie your pen and write as I shall dictate: To h'S ExceHency, J. Worth, Governor of North Carolina: Sir: The procer s of this court ha? been illegally interferred with and a prisoner has been rescued rom the sheriff bv Daniel E. Sickles and Thomas Eugers and James Bumford, of the United States a my, anvd Friday Jone? colored, Jatecit'r'en of Wake coun ty. I demand that you call out the whole power of this county to uphold the honor and integrity of the laws of North Carolina, and secure the arrest of these said parties. . (Signed) DAN'L G. FOWLE,JUDGE. This communication was sent at the moment by Judge Fowle to Governor Worth. The old hero was alarmed at the situation, which seemed to5 him an approaching conflict 'between the State and Federal authority. He, too, loved North Carolina.' "Sir," he said, "this will never do. The attempt to arrest these men will force a collision, and bloodshed will fol low this act. This hot-headed young judge will ruin our people. I will go at once and settle this matter through President John son." The next day found him in the President's office. When he had coucluded his statement the President said: "Sir, do I under stand you to say that a hot-head ed young judge of your State da' ed to order the arrest of a United States officer." "Yes.sii " said Governor .Worth. "Then God bless that hot-headed young judge and every other one like hi ji in North Carolina," said President Johnson,' and immedia-tely added, "Mi. Secretary, ask the Secretary War to come to my office." As be entered, the President sternly said: "Mi. Secreta v. teleIanh at ouce to Ealeigh andduectGen. Euger to return that prisoner to the sheiiff of Wake couuty, and diiecfc Gen. Euger to submit to the legal maudate of Judge Dan iel G. Fowle." ; The nexu day Judge Fowle sa'd to the shei iff in open ourt. in the pre enceof a crowded court house: "M'. Sbevi-T; take the prisoner to the ja'"l yai d and complete the oeaience of this court." Two thous.iad people looked upon the sheiiil s rompliauce with the law, aud as Ue.st-vuck he called out at the top of his voice, Nine, and so on uutil he had struck thirty-nine. The prisoner was leleased aud al lowed, to dep.nt, the immense crowd qnietlv dispersed. The law had been obeyed; the law had tri umphed. Aud now, last, but not least, we w:il mention one more incident in the life of this distinguished Car olinian and we ave done. When 2ca?ion,an occa Mon which eveu at t") is distant day we can recall but with oOxTow,a noble and gallant ex-Confederate officer and adopted son of our State wars ar retted for crimes be did not com mit, at the instigation of perju ed wretc'ies, who swore his 1 iberty away before a p r i': an court, we find Daniel G. Fowle day after day aod week aCter week labor ing arduously without money or hope o" reward for the release of the accused. Not only did Judge Fowle defend this illustvious prio oner aud his associates in misfort une, because his gieat and manly be:uv bled at the wrongs heaped upon his uufortuuate fellow coun trymen, but because he regavded their arrest and conviction under the circumstances as a great blow to the liberties of the people, and being a patriot, as well as a great and good man, couTd not remain silent while such outrages were committed in the name of liberty. Nor did his efforts for the re'ease of the 3 unfoitunate men stop here, nor until Captam Eandolph Abbott Shotwell, the martyr he ro of reconst' ucciou, and the vi carious sufferer of our peopTe,stood again au honored citizen among tbo e whom , he Joved and who Joved bum after three years of un told suffering iii the Albany peri i ten toy. Deadbeats might learn a lescon from the fly. It never thinks of taking your sugar or things with out "settling on the spot" for it. Senators Eansom- and Vance will be present at the Inter state Farmers Convention in Ealeigh. William Weiffhtman. who is worth $20;000,000, started life as a drug clerk. We all think we caiido better than the other fellow. Which Party is the Friend of Edu cation? From the Durham Tobacco Plant. Education is one thing we all need. It is not necessary for all to read Latin and calculate eclip ses, but it is necessary and impor tant that all can read and write. There is no employment known to North Carolina that cannot be more easily, more satisfactorily and more pleasantly pursued if the employee can read and write. The man who has children begins to inquire where he can get edu cation. The Democratic party says: "It is part of the policy of the government, as we administer it, to furnish yon? children with schooling. We have in the past few years spent more than $500, C'JO per annum to pay teachers, build school houses, buy books and apparatus." The Eepublican party, wordy and windy, at once goes off into a highly colored laudation of the Blair bill. "Oh, that is what you want to do," says our friend; "what have you done?' "Oh, we spent all the school fund we found in the treasury, be cause we had to have per diem when we had the Legislature." "How many school houses did you bu'hlf" "(None; but we had a book qf drawings prepaied which cost over $30,000." "How many teachers did you pay and how niauy children did you cend to school?" "None." Our inquiring friend then says: "I believe I'll stick to the Demo cratic party on education. She has probably made mistakes, as everybody else has, but she has done what she could." An Alarming Rumor. From the Charlotte Chron'cle. . Is it a mere rumor? It is ru mored and believed by many, we are told, in the Pee Defection of the State, that Col.Dockery;s isit to New Yoik peud'"n the cef cle ment of the joint canva s matter between him and Fowle, was fraught with great purpo .3. The object was to ( effect an arrange ment with Morton, the Eepubli- cau Vice Pres dential candidate, to furnish money for the North Carolina campaign. It is firmly believed that he a u red Morton the State could carried by the Eepublicaos if the campaign fund could be made a given size. And in order to induce this rich banker to increre the fund liberally he assured him that Eepublican suc cess meant the success of his suit against the State in the matter of the special tax bonds, whereby he would reap a rich harvest of min ions of dollars. It is t Sieved that Dockery promised his co-operation in the gaining of this suit. We know thai; this is more than a rumor. The abrupt departure of the Colonel to New York during the negotiations about the joHt canvaoS matter with Fowle hai the look of suspicion about it. It certainly looked like something important was pending in New York which he wanted to know about before he finally decided upon the manner and extent of the canva s. If this rumor has foundation in fact, aud it looks very reasonable, then if there ever w. a candidate for Governor in North Carolina who ought to be beaten it is Dock ery. More than that. we can safely say that no man ever ran forth's high office and was beaten bv large a majority as he wiU b3 1 3. by. - '9 If the election of Dockery and return to Eepublicaii rule meaus the payment of the millions of fraudulent tax bonds which our people repudiated years ago be cause fraudulent, then it surely1 behooves every Democrat of the State to begiu at once to work with redoubled energy to crush out this heartless candidate and grind to powder his ruthless party. The payment of these tax bonds would so increase the taxes of the State as to dampen the ardor of our people and paralyze all of our industries. We do "not say that Dockery and the Eepublican party could succeed, if placed in power, in making the State pay thesis bonds. We pause not for a mo ment to make an investigation of" that question. We see here a full purpose in the rumor which is b3 lieved to have some foundation in fact; and we know that the put ting of government in the hands of Dockery and the party of which he is the head is to confer great power. How that power may be expected to be wielded we infer from the corrupt way that power was wielded when the party was in power. It issued these fraudu lent tax bonds and did other things which came near bankrupt ing the State. Renominated. From the News and Observer. Hon H. F. Simmons was nomi nated by acclamation for re-election toCong.e.sby theDemociats of the seccn I district in a con vention that was singularly har monious aud enthusiastic. We note the faco with great pleasure. As tbe New Berne Journal says: "No member e' Congress from North Carolina has ever been more dili gent, prudent and considerate of the wants of all his constituents without legard to party, race, color or previous condition than Hon. F. M. Simmons." We note with pleasure also that there is an excellent chance of sue: ess for Mr. S!mmons,two darkies, George A. Mebane and H, P. Cheatham, both claiming the Eepnblican nomination and both evincing a detjruiination to run the race through. It is a pity we have to nsider such a ' situation where . 3 ?ccompl;shed a entlemau, so weH equ'pped a public man, so able a repre sntative rs Mr. Sim mons is c jncorned, but facts are f 31, pai tici-Vrly in politics, and squabbling on the part of the blrck hol"' ?i these ond d;strict ;s aays a paant th'ng for Democrats to see. The Size of It Fxom ihe Few York St.r. The Bepublicaus boast that twentv-nine States and three Ter ritoi ies ent repre . sntative3 to welcome Mr. Blaine. If the turn out Thursday night is the best show that can be made by the combined efforts of the Bepubli caus of twenty-nine State and three Territories, stinuated by enihusU'm br the "geat and on ly leader" of the?r party, their chan' i for su- e: are certainly mighty smal'. A single Demo cratic organisation in New York, or even in a smaller city, would make a better turnout than the Bepublicaus d'd for Blaine. It d'd not at all compare in extent or good management with the lo cal parades "n this city four years ago. . Very Convst. Fom -he Pb-1ade!pla T ne". Outside of Indiana it is already plain that the Eepublican man agers are not couuting on Harri son at a1!. One of the reasons ad van 2d for nominating him was the importan 3 of carrying the State of Indiana. Sin? e Ins nom inat'on he has enthused the Ee publican s of his State so little that the managers of the party are turning the;r guns in other more liopeiul directions. General Por ter, the strongest man in the es teem of the people, dared not un dertake the iucubus of carrying him in a gubernatorial contest. If he is elected it must be done by Blaine. The flash of his fire must awaken, excite and rally enough voters, else he will be beaten by a great majority.
