by a Journal reporter on yesterday for
some news from his section he replied
that the best news he could give was
that not a man in his neighborhood had
been indicted for any crime since the
war.
"Well, Mr. Hardy how do you account
for the fact that the people in your
neighborhood are more peaceable and
quiet than elsewhere V" . r
"Well, I . don't know; the Sheriff
never comes to see us only for taxes or
a juror. I can say another thing we
havent got a drunkard in the neighbor

"Have you any schools and churchesV
"Oh yes; that is we have two as good
schools at La Grange as you can Avid
anywhere I live in the southwestern
part of Greene, which is not far from
La Grange. Our neighborhood school
is nothing more than the common piny
woods schools." ' ' ,

It is good to see an old Henry Clay
Whig and a good old Jeff ersonian-Cal-
hourn-Jeff Davis, Democrat get to
gether and discuss the issues of the day
and tell what ought , to be done and
what ought not to e done; we say it is
good to hear them, and it is so long as
they agree, but the moment one tells
the other what brought on the greatest
trouble this country ever had, one that
completely revolutionized many cus
toms and habits in the South, there is a
damper thrown on the meeting that
spoils the pleasure on one side of the
house.
On Monday last two of these charac
ters met at the Cotton Exchange.
Each had V been in a power' in
his party in the ante-bellum days
but were nevertheless friends. After a
warm baud shaking the old Dem. began.
"I tell you, ' speaking with emphasis,
the farmer who fools with politics now
fa worse than throwing away his- time.
The question that I shall propound to
myself in the future when these politi
cians come around wanting office will
be this: " Which one of you will repre
sent my interestt" v 1
Old Whig "Ah, now you are talking
sense; you go North and you will see.
that men vote the ticket that protect
their pockets." V v-"''r vf- :'('
Old Dem. "I tell you the farmers in
this country have got to come to this;
we must look out for our interest..
By-Stonder Why, : 1 thought ; you
done well out your way, you elected
farmers to the Legislature, but here in
this great commercial centre they did
wrong; instead of sending representa
tive men of their business, they sent a
lawyer and a farmer."
Old Dem. Yes, and I tell you this
great commercial centre as you call it
and the whole financial policy of this
Government are working to pull down
the farmer ; and when you strike at the
farmer you are striking at the root of
everything else."
Old Whig "Now just hold on and
let me tell you where youstruok at the
root of the farmer; when you voted for
secession; you were one of "those men
who were going to wipe up' the blood
spilt by secession with a poqket hand
kerchief.";? ':' ;,;' 'v i: .,
Old Dem. "Well, I thought I was
brave until the first skirmish I got into;
I found then that I was a coward." .
The scene closed with the laugh on
the Whig's side. - '

him that he lias not iaken a meal
out side of his own private room
since he reached home from this
city some three weeks since. In
other words he is and has been
quite indisposed. .

his senses. 'Artis, we understand
claims that Harper put strychine in

we cannot say. A negro church

was arrested by the sheriff some
ten miles from Graham and taken
to the latter place nnder very ex
asperating circumstances. The ar
rest was made without any warrant
and while lu custody he was treat
ed very rudely. Arriving at Gra
ham he at. puce telegraphed for his
license; they wer forwarded to him.
When arrainged before the magis
trate next day the license were
produced and the case was dis--missed
upon the payment of cost,
from which judgment he appealed.
It is an outrage -which his firm will
not submit to. The arrest was il
legal, and was aggravated by the
insolence and rudeness of the om
cer. A letter from Chatham says
all the water courses are up and
great damage is apprehended.
Farmers are looking bine over the
late spring, and are making all sorts
of direful predictions about this
years' crops.- A thriving mer
chant in town remarked that to

Charlotte Journal Observer: Miss

Miss Reed waa an assistant teach-

of which her brother was principal
and was a lady who was well-known
and greatly admired throughout the
country She was about 46 years
of age. Her remains were interred
yesterday at 3 o'clock, in the Sha
ron churchyard. Eva, a little
lour-year oittaaughterot Mr. jonn
Crowell, fell into the fire yesterday
morning and had her taee quite
severely burned. Mr. M. D. L.
Biggers, formerly surveyor in this
county, had a rough experience in
the city Sunday night. While pass
ing by the Richmond & Danville
freight depot he was met in the
darkness by some unknown indi
vidual who knocked him down and
robbed him of his money, amount
me to five or six dollars. The
blow that felled him was struck
over the left eye, and must have
been made with a club or piece of
iron, from the appearance of the
wound. The skin was laid open to
the scalp from, -the eye straight
across to the ear, and all around
the eye was a big splotch of black.
The ex-coroner had no idea who his
assailant was, and it was so dark
he could not see whether he was
white or black. Assaults and high
way robberies are getting to be
about as common in the future Lon
don as they are in Chicago.

The Democratic roosters need an air
ing. They are entitled to have a good
lusty crow this morning. The unter
rifled Democracy carried Dubuque by
1,000 majority. That is rather more
than a stra w it indicates a whirlwind.
When Iowa gives such a vote, the
Republicans may well disband. In
Cincinnati, too, the Democrats elect
nearly; all the officers by majorities
ranging from 4,000 downwards, and
thus assures ui that Ohio remains true
to the colors. , The news from Miohigan
is meagre, but as far as heard from the
Democrats are-successful. The march
of the Democratic cohorts is onward.
They have victory in their grasp. The
people have fallen into line beneath our
colors and the Republican army of
spoilsmen and plunderers have no hope
in the contest of '84. The robbenbarons
are overthrown and are repudiated by
the voters. Baleigh News and Obser
