The Roumanian Government has offered prizes to the architects of all nations for the best plans for its new assembly and senate cham bers. The first prize for each building ia $3000; the second, 11500; third, 9000. The Wilmington Messenger says: The Radical game is said to fill up Connecticut, West Virginia and Indiana with negroes from the South nntil a majority for theXr party is secured. This is not im probable or impossible. "IHK great battle fields of the world are in the hearts of men. The great straggles are within. A sonl once committed to God and His cause finds in its fierce fights a field of glory where grand victories may be won and sweet peace be found." Me. Gladstone, in an open letter to Liberal electors, says the Government continues to do things in Ireland which would not for a moment be tolerated in England. He declares that every conserva tive vote cast means bullets and batons against legal meetings in Ireland. No part of the state is so deeply interested in carrying tbe state and seeming a Democratic Legis lature as Eastern North Carolina. County government is oar shield and protection, and ii that is taken away all progress is at an end and civilization may be thrown back half a century. A failure in any white man to vote the Democratic ticket in November will be wej! nigh unpardonable. THE Rev. David S. Terry, ninety-three years old, who recently stole a horse and carriage in Brooklyn was recently arraigned before Judge Moore in the Court br Sessions. He pleaded guilty, and said he intended using the mosey he would get by Belling the horse and wagon for the purpose of getting into tbe Home for aged Ministers in Philadelphia. Jndge Moore directed that the Connty Physician examine the old man as to his sanity New Yoek city sends her greet ing to the country, with the assurance of a Congressional dele gation solidly Democratic. The Democracy of the State has . isely rewarded with renomination Rep resentatives who have played their part worthily in the great contest against Reedism. New York's delegation will be BtreDgth ent d in numbers and lose nothing in ability or devotion. It the rest of the country does aa well, there should be a Democratic majority of not lees than fifty members in Fifty-second House. New York Star. THE Democrats of South Car olina who are opposed to the election of B. R. Tillman as Governor- met in the capitol at Columbia last Thursday and nomi nated a full State ticket with A. C. Haskill, of Richland for Governor. An address to the people was adopted giving reasons for the action taken; affirming allegiance to the principles of the Democratic party, and charging that Till m an i tea bad arrayed the class against class, and that their con- trolof party was secured by the secret caucuses of an "oath bound aociety." rRE.vcniy "It has pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those that believe." There is nothing like it God has or dained the work and the workers, and preachiDg will never cease till the end of the world. It matters not what advance science may make preaching will never be out cf date. "Preach the Word," the whole Word and nothing but the Word. It is a blessed truth that man is a co worker with God. There is no position in life in which he may not be an instrument in the evangeliza tion of the world. God uses many agents, but he delights to speak through His living minister tbe regularly appointed ambassador from the Court of Uoaven to the inhabitants of the earth. Remember the injunction is to preach the Word. Not science falsely so called nor the philosophy of this world. It is a beautiful thing to deliver an address abound ing in flowers of rhetoric and gems of literature, but it ia a fearfully solemn thing to preach the Gospel of Jeeus. We do not mean that there shall be no ornamentation, no pictures of the beautiful, no presentation of the sublime. All these qualities of speech are essential to impressive and pleasing discourse. Bat we do mean that the great theme of the preacher is the Crosa, and all the graces of elocution and power of thought should bear upon the central truth of Christianity, Jesus died for man's redemption. Subordinate only to the great theme oi salvation through Christ should be the inculcation of moral truths and the enforcement of life duties. No minister of righteousness has a right to be silent on great moral questions, or on subjects that affect the happiness and welfare of the people. "Speak unto the people that they go forward," is the divine command, and it is no sacrilege to say that our God rejoices in the happiness of His children. WORK. Nothing valuable is accomplished without work. "Labor conquers all things" has been written in our childrens' copy books, and repeated in our schools and colleges, our counting rooms and workshops until it has become familar to the old and the young, and is univer sally accepted as a trueism. "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread," was declared by God as the penalty of Adam's transgression," and Jesus said, to His disciples, "I mnst work while it is day, for the night cometh in which no man can work." There is work for all. The in dolent man folds his arms in in dolence, not because there is noth ing to do, but because the spirit of a man is not in him. All labor is honorable ; but the prudent man performs all duties in their season, and measures their Importance by the issues involved. The cotton season is upon us. It ia important that the crop be gathered ; but the time of elections has come and the duties of patriot ism can neither be postponed nor transferred to another. The right of sufferage is an inalienable right, and upon ita proper exercise de pends the honor of the State and the liberty of the citizen. There is work for patriots to do all over the Union. The pending force bill sounds the alarm to no section or party, but it summons every man who loves his country to the defence of the Union, the Constiution and the laws. True it is the offspring of the leaders of the Republican party, but it has never received the sanction of any political party in convention, nor has it been approved by any por tion of the people in popular elec tions. It is tbe work of the House of Representatives under the spell of political madneBS and sectional in toxication. It is the duty of patriots, irrespective of party, to go to the polls and by their votes solemnly protest against the pas sage of the bill. The Democratic party, which is at all times the party of the people, confronts the advocates of the force bill with trained forces under wise, and vigilant leaders. The enormity of the measure, its purpose to subvert existing insti tutions, and sacrifice State rights and personal liberty to the Molorch of party has given to the Demo cratic party the promise of victory, provided there is no skulking from the battle, and every man does his duty on the field. It mnst be remembered that "the Democracy cannot hope to match their opponents in expenditures during the canvass, or in those influences that a party in power can exert for its own perpetuation in office." The Democrats have to rely upon the conservatism of the masses to rebuke the revolutionary spirit of Congress and teach a reckless ahd imbecil administra tion there is nothing in government so beautiful as obedience to law nothing in a republic so omnipo tent as the voice of the people. Vox populi, vox dei. All the signs of the times indi cate a sweeping Democratic victory in November, but over confidence was never more dangerous than it would be now. The Democrats must not lose a single hour in spreading the truth about the con summated iniquity of the McKinley tariff and the impending ruin that inevitably follows the passage of the election bill. Work, Democrats of North Caro lina, for the uight cometh. Are the sentinels posted ; is the guard on duty ; are the men resting on their iirins ready for the battle T Leave nothing to chance. Go to work not as laggard, not like gaily slaves scurged at every step, but as men who know their rights, and knowing dare maintain! Is the second congressional dis trict all right! It matters not who is the candidate,are the people alive to the stupendous emergenoy, and are they doing their duty in this supreme hour of destiny! Men ol the second district, go to work : no rest until the battle is fought and the victory won ! Is Craven county in line with the advancing hosts of Democracy 1 Friends and brothers, "why stand ye here idle! Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery T" Go to work; and if all else is lost, we shall have the consciousness of duty performed, and can, without humiliation or dishonor, pay our last tribute of respect to a glorious, departed, free Constitution. Thk Wilmington Star saja Your vote may or may not be necessary in the coming election. But if yo;i don't yote and the Democratic party is beaten you will be responsible for the result, if you don't vote and the Demo cratic party is victorious you will be entitled to uone of the credit nor the honor of the victory. Register and vote. That's your plain duty, whether your vote may be necessary or not! We are mined, not by what we really want, but what we think we do; therefore, never go abroad in search of your wants. If they be real wants, they will come home in search of you, for he that buys what he does not want will soon want what he cannot buy. Col ton. Many farmers are finding it difficult to procure enough hands to pick cotton. Prices are high, but are readily paid as the gather ing of the crops is imperative. It is just as much a man's duty to vote the Democratic ticket for the good of the country as it Ls to gather his crop for the good of his family. Reed and Blaine are opposed to each other and the breach is wid ening every day. Does this mean a split in the Republican party? Atlanta Constitution. Not at all. It is a trial of weight. Brain on one side, insolence and "beef" on the other. DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS. It Essential to Curry a at tbe Legisla tion Desired by by the Alliance. Mr. E. C. Beddingfield Secertary of the State Farmers Alliance, spoKe to tne Moor county Alliance last week and did good. He told the Alliance that the issue in politics in North Carolina was still between the whites and blacks, that the negroes had nomi nated men of their own color wherever they could, and that the Alliance could expect nothing from the republican party. In this state its conventions had not endorsed any part of the Alliance platform, while Democratic con ventions had. Without a Demo cratic majority in the coming legislature, the Alliance can effect no legislation, get no railroad com mission, &c. THE PRESBYTERIANS Work of the Committee on Revision or the Confession of Faith. Pittsbuec, Pa., Oct. 10 The work of the Committee on Revision of the Presbyterian Confession of Faith is progressing satisfactorily. To-day the discussion was on the 8th and 9th chapters of the work. The Gth and 7th chapters, consid ered yesterday, are reported to be the most important, and much of the remaining work can be passed over rapidly. One of the divines said to day that the reason they were taking the matter so slowly was that the old Confession of Faith had stood for two hundred and fifty years, and they want the new one to stand as good a test. The changes made are not all radical. THE WOMAJT SPY. She Will be Imprisoned, Fined and Exiled. Nancy, Oct. 10. Madamme Bonnet, the woman recently ar rested with plans of the defences bf Nancy in her possession, and who admitted being in the em ployment of the German govern ment as a spy, has been found guilty and sentenced to five years imprisonment and to pay a fine of 5000 fracs. When her term oi imprisonment is concluded she will be exiled from France. Mr. Gladstone on the Tariff, London, Oct 10. Mr. Gladstone sent to a Nottingham correspond ent from Howarden yesterday a postal card giving, his opinion of the new United States tariff law. He says : "The tariff act is, as you will suppose in my eyes, a deplora ble error, attended with severe and cruel consequences to innocent persons. I shall certainly desire to find an opportunity of offering rt marks on it." The Cointe Visits the Battle Fields. Richmond, Va., Oct 10. This morning at 8 o'clock the Come de Paris and party left Richmond under escort of Col. Anderson, Capt, Haxall and Capt. Bonford for a visit to the batttle fields of Mechanicville, Gainesville Cold Harbor and Seven Pines. The entire party except Count Hanson ville and Capt. Marhan used saddle horses and do not expect to return to Richmond until about 8 o'clock. A Jealous Man's Terrible Act. Toledo, Oct. 9. At 8 o'clock last evening Captain Mike Enright, a prominent vessel captain, met his wife walking with Patrick Murphy, and shot Murphy through the mouth. Murphy ran and Enright sent three bullets into his wife's body. The wife walked home but will probably die, while Murphy will live but is badly hurt. Enright coolly rode home on a street car, but was arrested and is lodged in jau. Jones County Items. We learn that hoe cholera has broken out among the hogs in Cypress Creek township. We learn that Mr. Hawkins has his sorghum mill in lull blast and is turning sorghum into 'lasses. The Jones county canvass com mences at Maysville on the 17th; Polloksville 18th, Piney Grove 20th, Cypress Creek 21st, Dogwood 22d, Tuckahoe 23d, Heath's Mill 24th, Phillips' Mill 2oth. We learn that the Republican executive committee on Saturday last completed their ticket. M. C. Giddons was given the Register of Deeds, Dock Cox Clerk Superior Court and D. H. Harrison Treasuer. We learn tha t Mr. F. D. Koonce is slipping around and turning up at lonesome places informing the inhabitants that he too is a candi date for the office of Senator from this the ninth senatorial district. Hon. F. M. Simmons, our own "Clem," as we Jones people term, gave us a telling, ringing speech at lrenton on Saturday last lie had a lair audience and was listened to by all par ties and all colors with the most profound attention. We are con fident that every Democrat at the close was determined to do his full duty in this campaign. Fort Barnwell Items. How about the campaign ! the Democrats asleep 1 Are Mr. Sam Biddle left us a few days ago for Charlotte, to accept a situation. Seed cotton for the past week has been coming in briskly and selling for three cents. Quite a lot of new stores ha' e been opened in our village, and a great many other improvements are being made. Don't delay about registering, Democrats. Every voter has to register, it being a new registration. The Democratic nominees and other prominent gentlemen will address the citizens of Barnwell on Saturday, October 18th. Come out and let us give them a rousing reception. Barnwell has suffered heavily from poor crops for several years heretofore, and the depression one year ago was great because of the unprecedented crop failure. The recovery to its present condition in so short a time is remarkable. -A. J. H. Vanceboro Items. What nice weather we are having ior gathering crops. Mr. C. H. Willis is erecting a dwelling on Main street. Miss Emma Smith, who has been visiting friends near Beech Grove, has returned home. Saturday was a busy day with our merchants. They had a better day's trade than they have had before this season. The farmers of this section will not realize their expectations, but some ot them nave ginned a bale of cotton per acre from the first picking. The Eiverside nine played a game of baseball with the Terrapin nine, of this place, on Saturday the 11th inst. At the end of the game the score stood 17 to 7 in favor of the Riverside. The Riversides are country boys, But they "get there just the same." ; Mr. T. (Jherry 's dwelling on Washington street is nearing com pie tion. Thus we see that our little town, named in honor of the illus trious statesman, Zeb. Vance, is improving day by day, and it will soon be a village of the past, and a town ot tne present. There was a Democratic speak ing here on the 11th inst., accord ing to appointment. The speakers wore Messrs. W. B. Lane, J. W Biddle, W. M. Watson and L. J. Moore. The speeches delivered were excellent, and, like the men who delivered thom, just suited the people. The speakers were introduced by Mr. B. W. 8mith. There was a large erowd, but net as many as we expected, for we have a large majority of Democrats in this precinct. Onslow County Items. Eev. T. J. Lovin filleti our pulpit last night and preached a powerful sermon to a large audience. We have two schools in Swane boro now, Capt. Rob't W, Joyner and Mrs. M. M. Jones teachers Also two Sunday-schools. The last quarterly meeting for this year comes off at Tabernacle Church on the fourth Saturday and Sunday in this month (October). Mr. E. L. Franks, our nominee for the House; is a gentleman of sterling ability, a Vance man, an alliance man, and a large farmer. The 25th inst. ia the last day you can register, be sure and register, or you can't vote at the next elec tion on the first Tuesday in Nov ember 1890. Eev. Benj. Ward will preach at Old Bethlehem Church, in Carteret county, on Friday before the fourth Sunday in this month, and continue several days. He will probably be assisted by Eev. D. F. Aman. Some of the Democratic sub scribers to the Journal wish to know if the Journal is a Dem ocratic newspaper, we told them we thought so, but though it wanted to treat all sides fairly in the question. Masters Dan Ward, W. E. Mattock?, Gus Pitman and Joe Ward went fishing outside last Saturday with hook and line and caught 400 trout, 200 spots and croakers, lots of other small fish, besides about 25 shark, in length from one to five feet. We understand Mr. E. N. Sum mersill is a candidate for Sheriff, or says he will bond u the people elect him. Mr. Jacob Eochell is the independent candidate for Eegister of Deeds, and Mr. J. A. Mattocks for Surveyor, indepen dent. Mr. E. D. Koonce is the independent candidate for the Senate vs T. E. Gilman, Esq., the regular Democratic nominee. No Eepublican nominations in this county and the Democratic nomi nees will all be elected, we think, by large majorities. It is of great importance to sow barley and oats early in tbe spring. A few days difference in the time of sowing often makes all the dif ference between a good crop and a poor one and what a difference that is all exeprienced farmers know. EOGRAPHY Stanley, Discovery, vJ Rolan Baking Powder. s THE DOUBLE 1KCRDKR. Additional Particulars of the Terrible Tragedy. Tuesday s Chronicle contained an account of the double murder at Aulander. The Tarboro Southerner of yesterday gives the following. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. A gentleman from Aulander states that'Mr, Atkins was sitting on his steps Saturday night, wash ing nis leer, wnen a negro, 'who was afterwards recognized, slipped up and struck him on the head, inflicting the fatal blow. The negro went into the house and struck Mr. Atkins' mother and killed her, and another lady, who was in the house at the time, saw him and recognized him. After robbing them of $9.00 and a suit of clothes, he walked ont of the house and struck the old gentleman, who was then lying on the ground, another blow and fled. A hole was found in Mr. Atkins' head larg enough to put one' fist in. The gentleman who gave the reporter this information says that this negro had seved some time in penitentiary and was considered a most desperate character. To accomplish this robbery the negro stole a mule and rode to the house, and on returning tied him out in the woods. The mule is almost dead from having been rid den so hard. Diligent search has already been prosecuted and all efforts will be made to apprehend him. Mr. Atkins' death will be greatly deplored, or he was said to have been one of the best old gentlemen in ths connty. DESCRlPTOIN OF NEGRO. The negro is of of dark com plexion with a large soar on one side of his face and another on his forehead, weighs about 170 pounds and stoops somewhat in his walk. State Chonical. A SENSIBLE JUDGE. Enjoin li'ulan Man From Interfering In Any Way -With Laborers. Lynn, Mass., Oct. 9. A bomb shell was thrown yesterday into the ranks of the labor circles of this city in the shape of an injunc- issued by Jndge Mason of the Supreme Court against the mem bers of the Cutters Union who are managing the present strike, and ordering all further intimidation of workmen at Eumsey Brother's factory to cease. The respondents are enjoined from preventing any one approaching the factory for work by intimidation or persuas ion, or doing anything tending to injure Eumsey Bi-o's bnsiness. North Carolina's Swamp Lands. The State Board of Education met Tuesday and received a propo sition to buy swamp lands in Hyde connty, known as Hyde park, and containing almost 100,000 acres. The lands were taken twenty years ago by a company of northern capitalists, which failed, and they reverted to the Board. The propo sition to purohase is made by the Wilmington, N. C. Improvement Company, which offers 45 cents ptr acre. The Board will probably accept the offer, and sixty days have been given to examine into questions as to the title. Charles M. Stedman, of Wilmington, has for some time held an option on these lands. Governor Fowle and State Engineer Lewis have gone to inspect the swamp lands near New Berne. Exchange. A Fearful and Fatal Mine Explosion. San Francisco, Oct. 9. A special to the Chronicle from San Diego says : News has been re ceived from Rosario gold mine, seventy miles inland from Mazat lan, of a terrible explosion, which occurred there the latter part of September. An American named McGee, who came from Nashau, Cal., was working with nine Mexi cans in a sixty foot level near the magazine, which contained hun dred pound kegs of dynamite. This in some way exploded and the ten men were blown to atoms. The Presbyterian Revision of Faith. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 9. The committee working on the revision of the Presbyterian confession of faith is still at work and is as quiet as ever about their deliberations. It has only fairly begun to see the long, tedious job before it. So far, everything has been harmonious, and the committee is as yet a unit on the work. Tbe work, as far as it has progressed, has been on a very conservative line ; the radical revisionists are held back by the anti's, and thus those favoring a conservative change have tbe ad' vantage. As to an Extra Session of Congress. Ottumwa, Iowa, October 9. A Washington special dispatch say ing that the President had de termined to call a special session of Conerress was sbown to Private Secretary Halford this afternoon by the United Press correspondent Mr. Halford. after reading it, said : "Tnat is not true, no such decision has been reached.77 Another Blow at the Werld's Fair. Eome' Oct. 9. The Italian com mittee on the Chicago World, s Fair Exhibits has been dissolved The reason given is that few Italian honses care to send dis Dlavs to America in the face of hieh duties imposed by the Mc Kinley tariff. The Cbrletlam Chuch Reunl d. Chicago, Oct. 10. Despatch trom Marrion, Ind., says: At the session of the Christian conference vesterdav the Southern wing of the ohurcb, wnion seceaea at cne Cincinnati convetion held in 1854, was restored. Tbe condition of the return of the Southern people having been agreed to, an imfor mal and hearty greeting was ex tended to the erring brothers, while the congregation sung "Blest be the tie that binds." A touching feature of this part of the exercises was the introduction to the con vention of Mrs. Dr. Bummerbeil, widow of one of the pioneers of the Churcb, who was the first presi dent of its first college. Mrs. Summerbell, in her feeble way, welcomed the Southern delegates back to the fold and assured them of the sympathy and hearty good will of the North. There was scarcely a dry eye in the house when this, the only survivor present of the convention of 1854 took her 86Dr. H. J. Duckworth, president of the General Council of the Christian Union, declared that his section was rapidly emerging in itself with the Chaistian Churcb, and that hereafter his time and talents should bejdevoted to it. SOMETIMES. Sometime, when all life's lesson have been learned, And sun and stars forevermore have set, Tho things which our weak judgments here have spurned, The things o'er which we grieved with lashes wet, Will flash befoie us amid life's dark night, As stars shine most in deeper suits of blue, And we shall see how all God's plan's were right, And what most seemed reproof was love most true. And we shall see how, while we frown and sigh, God's plans go on as best for you and me How, when we called, Ho heeded no our cry, Because His wisdom to tho end could see ! And e'er as prudent parents disallow Too much of sweets to cravine baby hood, So God, perhaps, is keeping from us now Life's sweetest things because it seemcth good. And if, sometimes, commingled with life's wine, We find the wormwood, and rebel and shrink, Be sure a wiser hand than yours or mine Pours out this portion lor our lips to drink ; And if some friend we love is lying low, When human kisses cannot reach his face, O, do not blame the loving Father so, But wear your sorrow, with obedient grace. And you shall shortly fcuow that length ened breath Is not the sweetest gift God sends His friends, And that sometimes the sable pall of death Conceals the fairest boon his love cm send ; If we could push ajar the gates of life, And stand within, and all God's working see, We could interpret all this doubt and strife, ADd for each mystery could find a key. But not today. Then be content, poor heart: God's plans, like lilies pure and white, unfold ; We must not tear tho close-shut leaves apart, Time will reveal the calyxes of gold ; And if through patient trial we reach the land Where tired feet, with sandals loosed, may rest, Where we shall clearly know and under stand, I think that we will say, "God knew the best. WISTFUL. Dear, it is hard to stand So near thy life, yet so apart, So near I think so near thine heart; t- So near that I could touch thine hand, And yet so far I dare not take That hand in mine for love's dear sake ! So near that I can look my fill At stated times upon thy face; So far that I must yield a place To others, sore against ray will I So near that I can see thee smile; So far my poor heart aches tbe while ! Dear, it is hird to know Whate'erthe stress, the storm, the strife, The fret, the sadness of thy life, I have no power, do right to show Love in my heart, love on my lips, To comfort thee in life's eclipse. No right to claim before the rest The privilege to weep with thee; No right, across life's stormy sea, To bid thee welcome to my breast ; No right to share thy hopes, thy fears, Through all the weary, weary years. Dear, it Is hard to feel That bliss may meet thee full and fair, Wherein poor I can have no share; That thy wide future may reveal The joys of harvest manifold, While I stand lonely in the cold. Dear, it is hard, but God doth know How leal the heart that beats for thee; It is enough, enough for me To love thee. Let the future show Love can live on for its own sake, Though eyes may weep, though heart may ache. Boston True Flag. mSPIEATION. LINDA M. DUVAL. I could not climb the toilsome mountain height. Though days of calm await, and lofty view. If others had not struggled to the light, And pierced a pathway through. But now each faltering step I take is set In footprints still distinct amid the snow. And every terror which my heart doth fret "Was vanquished long ago. I could not seek to rouse a slumbering world, lo sound in sluggisn ears a warning cry. If bruised hearts had not their wounds impearled, And put the tempter by. If distant voloes did not ioin with mine Filling my words with subtle force and nre; If iu mv sonir there dropt not notes divine From the celestial choir; I could not bear, dear Lord, the sordid weight Of daily crosses and consuming cares ; 1 could not labor on, all desolate, Ihrough disappointing years. But since Thv feet have toiled along the road. New couraa-e. sweetest comfort, I derive ; And since Thy heart hath borne life's sorest load, I will not faint, but strive. "Den Ton Alnt Honest.'" A gentleman coming to the city from tbe Sound a day or two ago on the Seacoast Eailroad tram overheard a conversation between two other passengers, a colored man and a white;man. The darkey remarked that he was a Eepublican because that party had freed him and had taken his body from under the lash. Eut he had, he said friends among the white Democrats, and was going to vote hereafter as he pleased, but was still a Eepublican, also, "Born about here!" queried the darkey. "Yes," responded the white man. "Was your daddy a white man!" "Yes," "Din he own slavesbf ' "Yes." "Did if you's a Eepublican you ain't honest,'' said the darkey. And then he moved away from his compaion and the conversation ceased. Wilmington Star. A bell, cast recently for the Kharkow (Eussia) Cathedral, con tains sixty-eight per cent, of pure silver. It weighs 646 English pounds, and its vibrations last several minutes. 'Tis nothing for a man to hold up his head in a calm; but to main tain his post when all others have quitted their ground, and there to stand upright where other men are beaten down; this is divine and praiseworthy. A Burlington Iowa special to the Tribune says: LaGrippe has struck that city again. A number of Burlington people are down. Two deaths are ieported. Army men who profess to know all about it assert that the much talked of smokeless powder is not a success. You have not fulfilled every duty unless you have fulfilled that of being p'easant. The Republicans and Alliance vs. Carteret Democracy. "In Carteret county the Republi cans have agreed not to run a candidate and vote with the Al liance. There has been such a revolution in politics in the history of Carteret county as there is now. There in going to be considerable money spent to defeat the J. W. S. more, ns it is called over here. I understand there will be iricfc just on the eve of election. I cannot understand what it will be unless they hire a man to come ont on the day ol election and claim to be the Republican candidate to elect Gil man. I think that is the nlan but it won't work over here. The Alliance and Republicans have allied together here and Oilman's defeat is certain. They have given vp by their acts and confidential words to their friends. (P. S. Look out for Judases).7' Editor Journal: The above is a true copy of a letter which was picked up and handed me a few days ago. It was written on the 9th instant by E. W. Humphrey to Capt. James Laughlin, a prominent Kepubliean at Swansboro. Observe the knowing manner of flumphrey7s statements. lie assures Capt. Laughlin with earnestness and pleanuic that the Alliance and Re publicans of Carteret have allied against the Democrats of this connty. Being a member of the order he is supposed to know whereof ho affirms, nis letter to the New Berne Journal over the nom de plume of "Eureka," which were copied, it is said, from letters supplied him by Frank D. Koonce, the independent candidate for the Senate against Mr. Oilman, all go to prove his strong amuation with the enemies of our couutv and district Democracy. Further comment is unnecessary from me, except to say that he honors me over much when he characterizes "J. W. S.7' as the head and leader of the Carteret Democracy, to defeat whom he so earnestly assures the Captain that! "there is going to be considerable money spent.'7 Such an honorable place is indeed inviting, but it is one my poor abilities would never have sug gested the remotest aspiration. When he declares, in italics, that the Democracy of Carteret have given np Oilman's election it is only too puerile and ridicuously false to need a passing notice. Tbe Democracy of Carteret was never in better trim and more cer tain of a greater victory than now. No true Democrat, who values con nstency and all that makes up good, honest government, can weigh the facts in the Humphrey letter with out spurning with contempt the base attempt to lure him into the ranks of the enemy.
