Mr. McDinLc, the de fea'ed Republican candiri.itc. thinks, o; course, that the negroes belong to the Republican party and their votes should li.ee been counted lor him : hence, his contest for Mr. Davidson's seat.

AVsense of duty impels me to say these years were the tiarkest that ever ca.-t their accursed shad ows upon that fair land lying yon der across the Potomac towards the ocean and the gull. Happily they hac passed, and they will not. come back again. The false promises, the betrayal of trust, aid the deception so long practiced by the Republican party .upon his credulity and ignorance j have at length matured the bitter, I fruits which in fidelity always bears. , The scales have fallen from their: eyes, and they have been given to , behold in all its nakedness the falsity of the pretenses which have I so long coerced their suffrage, j DoubiJess the efforts of the white' people of the Sontb, burdening! their propeity with excessive taxa . tmii to educate the black; man, has I contributed to the establishment ot these better political relations, and has enabled him to take a more in teilieiit. view of the situation anil the conditions upon which the destiny of his race dejend9. But the immediate cause of the defec tion of the colored man Irom the UopuM.cau party is to be found elsewhere. From the earliest period of his emancipation he had been taught that Demociatic ascendancy meant his return to slavery. Every recurring campaign was to him a season ol feverish excitement. The dark forebodings of his po litical orators of the evil conse .'ieiicei to him of Democratic sue ress was evr present in his heart and mind, until it became a living, breathing terror, from winch was no escape. W hen every depaitmeiit of local government in t he Sou: h had passed under control of the Democratic party, aud hi- rights remained un disturbed, he was told hi;) 1 1 i y v.ietv consisted 1:1 the continued 1 oi.-rol by the LepuHioan party ot le N at lonal Govern men t. In l-M o wa- beat and hammered into his iniud that the election of .Mr. Cleveland would confer upon the Democracy the long sought lower to compass his ruin and re enslave him. When Sir. Cleveland was elected no one whe did not see it can appreciate the frightful panic into which many ol them were thrown. Hut scarcely had betaken his seat at the other end of the avenue, certainly ere his untrained hand had become accustomed to 'the reins of Government, these fears bad subsided, and there is not a sane colored man in the whole South who doesnot today feel as secure in the enjoyment of all the rights guaranteed to him by the law as in the palmiest days of Ke i publican ascendancy.

Tuesday was a lively day in Congress In the Senate after consideration of the report to amend the rules, and the adoption of several amendments, the dependent pension bill was taken up, and several brief speeches were made, when Mr. Ingalis left the chair, and ad dressed the Senate, principally in reply to the recent speech of Mr. Yest. and in which he indulged in some coarse at tacks on the Missouri Senator and the President.

Some of . the employees rushed to the editoriaL room, being cut off from escape in the .. . . , ... , i rear, and had to lace tne nornme ai- . ternatiye of burning to death or jump ing to the sidewalk below. A ladder was put to the fourth story, and the sight of rescue so near seemed to mad den the suffering group at the two win dows in the story above, who dropped in succession to the sidewalk below. Six fell in this way. It is thought others fell back into the flames. The Charlotte Chronicle says: A re markable accident occurred at Wads worth's stabies, yesterday afternoon, by which one of the fine black horses belonging to the Central omnibus was shockingly injured. The four horses were hitched to the bus realy to go out to the evening tram, and were standing in the College street entrance to the stables. A horse ..tt.n hed t" a baggage wagon ran away just after entering the stable from Trynu street and dashed through the stable at a furious rate. At the Culli'oe -ureet door the runaway horse came into contact with the 'bus horses. One of the shafts struck the off wheel horse squarely in the breast. The pointed end of the shaft, on coming in contact with the breast bone, took a downward course and came out behind the ri;ht foreleg of the horse. The shaft tore along almost its entire length through this horrible wound, and the j point buried itself in the horse's groin. making a second wound. It required THE LIBEL CASE.

The case excited considerable interest and brought together a good number of the citizens of Kinston to hear the trial. As it is a serious charge to bring against the news paper that aims to be useful and beneficial to the community in which it circulates, we propose to give the sub- stance of the evidence of the plaintiffs themselves and let the public judge whether or not they were libeled, and whether or not it was the duty of our correspondent to write and the duty of the Journal to publish the item in question. The first witness introduced by the plaintiffs was J. B. Hudson. He testi fied to having heard Mr. Bowerj say he wrote the item published in the Journal and that if he had followed his senti- ments he would have it much stronger. Upon cross examination he stated that ; he was a brother of J. E. Hudson and a clerk of the firm of Cook & Co. : that j the firm was organized about a j month ago: that they paid him i 812.50 per month and expenses: ' that Cook & Co. do a wholesale -r, kmd;qc,c,. i,iii, k uu, intuit wuoiiioa, iiiau tucj ua t traveling salesman, no State, county or town license to sell: that they did busi ness with closed doors, and spent most most of their time at Hotel Tull: that they kept no books and he did no writ ing for them. He also gave the name of the other gentleman who constituted the firm of J. E. Hudson & Co., but as that gentleman positively denies having anything to do with said firm we for- I bear giving that part of the testimony ' a8 it iB cot in view in this article. The plaintiffs rested their case here. The defendant had quite a number of witnesses called and had the plaintiffs themselves subcicned. S. W. Chad wick was put upon the stand. He is an assistant agent of the A. fc N.C. Ii. at the Kinston station, and was introduced for the purpose of show- ' the unfortunate negro before the com ing that goods had been shipped to Kin- mis.sioners of Duplin county. r II don t know what would become of ston for J. L. Hudson & Co. and re-: the heipie89 an,i afflicted negro, s of, ceived by Cook & Co. Plaintiffs counc il this country without the aid and sym objected to the question asked to bring pathy of the whites. out these facts and a long argument fol lowed in which Mr. T. C. Wooten. of counsel for plaintiffs, facetiously re marked that ir was cot a question of grace, but of regeneration: the defend ants, he said, have not been regenerated ; they must be born again. Again, when Mr. Spencer was on the stand to testify as to purchasing goods from plaintiffs. Mr. Wooten in endeavoring to establish the fact thit Cook A: Co. were wholesale dealers, asked if a firm that sold a whole coffee mill, one that would grind for a whole county, was not a wholesale dealer. But our object now is to simply show what Cook & Co. say of them selves, so we go on to the next wiuiess. W.W.Cook, of the firm of Cook & Co. was sworn and introduced by defend ant. He testifitid that he was twenty two years old last February: that he was a member of the firm of Cook & Co. ; that he had put SI. 000 in the busi ness, and J. E. Hudson had put in S'00; that he did not list his taxes last June, and had no property at that time except his trade; that he mads 51,000 since last June at the buggy business with his father; that he and J. E. Hudson organ- izea the firm just before they left New : Berne; that Hudson attended to order- ing goods and writing letters, and tnat : they room together in No. '4 at Hotel a 1 Tull and he read novels while Hudson ! I- TT ..!.,-. ..-.iri.-l waa writing u lOBl,ucu ! that he spent most of his time at Hotel , Tull; that if any one called at room 24 . and wanted goods he went to the store , , j j , ,. i ana sora mem ana wmn to m. . and Bold them and went back to his room; that he was doing nothing and living on the interest of his money, and that he did not know the names of the firms from which Mr. Hudson ordered , goods. Mr. J. E. Hudson, member of the firm of Cook & Co , was sworn and introduced by defendant. He testified to having been of the firm of J. E. Hudson & Co. of New Berne; that he had ordered goods from California . Wine and Brandy Co. for the benefit of the firm to the amount of S57.G0. and that the bill was not paid and the firm had never been requested to pay it. and that they .don't always ray when re quested; that Cook & Co had made an order on the same firm which was not tilled: that J. E. Hudson tV Co. ordered a bulT.ilo robe and rtur from C (1. Gunthers S-.r.s of New York billed at ;49.50 and :;0 00 reept ctively . and that they were not paid for. Gunthers Sons having taken out claim and delivery for tame but were too late as he had disposed of the same, getting ?10 00 for the robe and nearly the value of rug : that he bought a folding chair and book case of a firm in New York at S5S.0O which , he sold for about ?3j 00 not paying uny ! thing to the New York firm: that he ordered goods from Garrett, Maston, Allen & Co. of Philadelphia, which he did not pay for. and that Cook & Co. had sent another order which was not tilled: that he ordered ink from Eureka Ink Co. to the amount of S24 0J which was not paid and that Cook & Co had ordered from the same hou-e which was not filled; that the firm of J. E ' Hudson & Co, had ordered crackers and ginger snap3 of Larrabee & Co., sold them for less than cost and never paid for them: that they had bought a coffee mill price S56 25 which they had not paid for but sold for 825 00, didnt, pay for it because they were "busted". and had no money; that the firm of Cook & Co. had paid no bills due Northern firms; that he, Hudson got some nieit from W. F. Rountree. did not borrow it nor sell it as his agent, sold it. got the m mey but never paid ' him for it : that Cook t Co. got lard and hams from Cassard f Baltimore which had been sold for less than cost but had not been pai 1 for. There were several other bills enquire 1 after which had not been paid, which taken with those already mention, i teude.l ti. -how that there was d ingi r of t ho-e bu . in goods from this tirm to become v. ,::.(vr.- in court. 1- pon cross ex am in.ilion bi j l.iiniilf counsel Mr. Hudson stated that ihey h ,.i never made any false representation in purchasing goods and that tlx y intende i to pay for what they had bought. After hearing this and other testimony the court, very properly we think, dis- . charged the defendant and taxed the plaintiffs with the cost. Now we leave it with the public to say if Cook & Co. are not, according to their own testimony, doing business in a novel way, with closed doors, spend most of their time at Hotel Tull, selling i gooc'8 remarkably cheap and if persons wno Duy from them are not likely to become witnesses in court. Well, but, says one, what if they were doing busi ness in that way, the Journal corres pondent had nothing to do with it; it did not interfere with him. Ah, but what is a newspapers' business besides giving the news but to expose and con demn a business that is damaging to the credit and legitimate business interest of the community which sustains and supports said paper? One man may murder another and not hurt the editor or reporter of a newspaper, but who would support a newspaper that would not publish and condemn such an out rage against law and order V Such business a? Cook & Co. are doing, ac cording to their on testimony, is dam aging to the legitimate trade of any town or city, and we are pleased to know that the good people of Kinston sustair our correspondent in what he wrote and they are determined to set the seal of their condemnation upon any euch business as Cook & Co. are en gaged in. Dots From Duplin. Oar Yankee brethren, or eomo of them, are fond of charging Southerners with cruelty to the negroes. We hope they will take under advisement the following case, stated to your corre spondent by a gentleman whose veracity he his no right to question: About a month ago a poor old negro was strick en with Paraly8ia and taken to the bouse shelter. He was afterwards found un der a pine in the woods, with nothing to eat, the hogs having taken advantage of his helplessness to deprive him of what food he hud. The aforesaid gen tleman hired a colored woman to care for him in his house, he providing him with food for nearly a month at his own expense. The humane gentleman rode more than ten miles in the rain last Monday, March 5th, to lay the case of Auditor. EniTolt Journal The man for Gov ernor seems to be a mixed and perplex ing question to the Democratic party of North Carolina, but there is one man , for Auditor we believe our people will j uDite upon at once: that man is Capt. Wm A . Darden of Greene county . He received over 150 votes in the State con vention in lc'80 His peculiar litness for this office is unsurpassed bv any man in North Carolina, and as a dabater he is second to none in our country. Kl in a true man; he has represented hi county more than once in the legislative bodies; he makes a lasting impression as a modest but a man of decided abil ity upon the minds of all who kno-v him. He indeed would be a representa tive man upon the State ticket. Oiiskici i:::. La Grange, March 3d, Entered Into Rest, Mrs. Elizibeth McKinley Colli:. Rob erts, widow of the late Capt. Wm. W.
