Outrage upon a Colored Citi-zen—
A Greeley and Brown
Republican set upon by a
Crowd of Negroes—He Seeks
the Protection of the Police
and baa to be Plaoed in the
Guard House to Shield him
from Danger, <fco.
Ou Tuesday eveniug, during the
, in iii ill of tlic I in i irom [,t u torchlight
i procession on Fayetteville Street,
! near Tucker Hall, 8. 0. Cross, col.,
one ol the marshals, during the
day at the Greeley and Rrown mass
'■ meeting, was surrounded by a yel-ling
crowd of u-.-grocs, u.teriug the
i most abusive epithets and threat-
'ening every moment to lay violent
bauds upon him. Cross, seeing
| he was iu real danger of being mur-jdered
or being severely beaten,
turned away to go down the street,
upon which the negroes made a
rush upon him. Cross was com-pelled
to seek safety in actual flight.
The pursuers pushed their intended
victim so closely that be was forced
to take shelter in a store on Wil-mington
street. A policeman com-ing
up at tliis moment, Cross de-manded
his protection, and the
oflicer, seeing that he could not
siuglehauded restraiu the hooting
crowd, drunk with the vile passiou,
stirred up in their bosoms by the
incendiary appeals and harangues
of their leaders, procured assist-ance
and removed Cross to the
Guard House where he was kept
until-Mayor Whitaker came. The
crowd then dispersed after indul-ging
in more elegaut phrases, and
loudly declaring that they would
make this place too hot for "damn
democratic and liberal republican
negroes."
It will not be amiss to state here
that Simon Craven, col., a member
of the State Liberal Republican
Executive Committee, was visited
at his house on yesterday morning
by a couple of negro men and, in
the presence of his wife and child-ren,
insulted iu the grosest man-ner.
He was told that if he dared
to come out of his house they would
break every bone in his b jdy.
Let it be remembered that these
two unoflendiug citizens were thus
outraged simply and solely on ac-couut
of their opposition to Graut,
and this is a specimen of the sys-tem
of attempted intimidation
practiced every day throughout the
State. There is a large number of
colored men whose intelligence
would lead them to range themselves
under the Greeley banner but they
are deterred trout doing so by the
fear of actual and personal violeuce
at the hands of their own race.—
Aud (heir white leajltrs arc iu a
great measure responsible for this.
As soon as a colored man declares
his opposition to the party in pow-er
they (the leaders) begin at. once
to excite, in every conceivable way,
the animosity of his colored breth-ren
against him, aud soon it be-comes
dangerous for him to mingle
freely with the people of his owu
color. They do this in order to
prevent others from voting and
speaking as they please. Thus are
the laws of Congress in regard to
intimidation enforced. These are
specimens of the law ana order
which Grant's "let us have peace"
policy inculcates in the Southern
States.—A'«f. Sentinel.

A Man and Woman Perform
the Double Trapeze Half a
Mile High.
J. K. Waruer, of the great Paci-fic
Combination, is the restless and
enterprising manager of some 38
summers, who modestly hides be-yond
a big diamond breastpiu, and
is not satisfied with owning the
biggest elephant and the only horn-ed
rhinoceros on this coutiuoutjWith
thirty cages of wild beasts, a mu-seum
and splendid circus, exhibi-ted
under ten difi'ereut pavilions,
but is dying to give the people more
of the good thing for 50 cents.—
Waruer has actually persuaded a
youug and beautiful Spanish girl,
named Leona Dare, who does mar.
velous feats upon the trapez in the
circus, to make balloon ascensions.
The trial trip was made on Thurs-day
morning, at a point about nine
miles son beast of onr city. The
balloon was inflated, aud at a quar
ter to 8 was cut loose, aud the fine

voyage iu the air. left ferro firma—
Everything was still as death, and
it was observed that Hall weaken-ed
a little, but the plucky "Queen
of Antilles," Leona, was perfectly
cool. Just as soou as they left the
earth Leona commerced spinning
Hall around uutil it made us giddy.
Atter this perlormauce,aud about
three hundred feet in the air, they
commenced their hifalutin perform-ance,
and known in show language
is tho double trapez. aud almost
everybody who has attended the
ircus can imagine much better
(hau we can describe their various
■volutions aud gyrations. They
performed all of the difflcalt and
hazardous feats at' au altitude of
halt a mile with the same reckless
daring that characterizes their per-formances
under the pavilion,
where, if tbey were to tumble, their
fall would not exceed thirty feet.—
Up, up they went, uutil they were
scarcely larger than our hand, aud
wheu we look at them through a
glass provided for the occasion wo
breathed free aud felt a relief that
tbey had climed upon the trapez
bar and were apparently enjoying a
tete-a-tete while resting from their
exciting and iierilons exercises. The
balloon descended very rapidly and
landed about half a mile from the
starting point in an open field, and
The 'Per Diem and Public
printing.
The Radicals have made a "big
fuss" about the per dietn of the Con-servative
Legislature, saying that
$o a day was fully aa mnch as $7.
Let us see who is responsible for
the per diem of the last Legislature!
The following facts and figures will
show:
The Republican Legislature paid
themselves at the rate of $7 per
diem and sat 302 days. Their per
diem aud mileage amounted to
8 l.io.i; 11.00: they tat 55 day* in the
flrtt part* of their teuiont icithout a
tingle Act! ! In March, 1870, thej
were still taking |7 per diem. Iu
November, 1870, the Conservative
Legislature met. The Conservatives
were largely in favor of three and
four dollars per diem, but Gov.
Caldwell and the Radicals in the
Senate, and Hargrove and Phillips
and all the Radicals in the House
except two, wanted $5, and 22 Con-servatives
voted with them, they
were enabled to fix the der diem, at
$5 against the wishes of a large
majority of Conservatives. The
radicals are responsible for this
high per diem, but notwithstanding
their actiou the Conservative Leg-islature
cost the State only 9199,-
188.37—OK LESS THAN ONE HALF
WHAT TOE REPDBLICAX LEGISLA-TURE
COST—there being a differ-ence
in this item of $231,456.28 in
favor of the Conservative Legisla-ture.
In addition to their own high per
diem, the Republican Legislature
employed 30 clerks and pages at a
cost to the State of $11,070.60 for
the session ot 1868-'69,and 40 clerks
and pages at the session of 1869-'70
at a cost of$21,294, besides paying
for stationary for one Committee $4,-
250.
The pnblic printing was also band-led
for political capital. The fol-lowing
will explain that:
Not contented with paying them-selves
such enormous sums of mon-ey,
the Republican leaders lined the
pockets of their friends with many
a dollar wrung from tho working
men of North Carolina. Green-backs
are hard for the industrious
people of the State to get, but very
easy for Republican office-holders
to spend. The Republicans paid
for printing in two years tho extra-ordinary
sum of $69,185.49. The
priming bill uuder Conservative
adminsti ation for two years, 1871-
'72, will lie less than one-half that
amount—being only $22,292.25 for
1871, and about "$12,000 for the
present year. The Republican
Printers, Joe IIoMen and Littlcfield
wanted money, and got it at tho
public crib. Iu this item, the
Conservatives have saved $34,893.-
48.
Stephen Allen's Pocket Piece.
In the pocket book of Hon. Steph-eu
Allen, who was drowned on
board the Henry Clay, was found a
printed slip apparently cut from a
newspaper, of which the following is
a copy. It is worthy to be put in
every newspaper and engraved on
every young man's heart.:
Make few promises.
Always speak the trath.
Never speak evil of any one.
Keep good company or none.
Live up to your engagements.
Never play at any game of chance.
Drink no kind of intoxicating li-quors.
Good character is above all things
else.
Keep your own secrets, ifyon have
any.
Never borrow if you can possibly
help it.
Do not marry until you are able to
support a wife.
Keep yourselt innocent if you
would be happy.
When you speak to a person look
him in the face.
Make no haste to be rich if you
would prosper.
Ever live (misfortune excepted)
within your income.
Save when you are young to spend
when yon are old.
Avoid temptation, thro' fear yon
may not withstand it.
Never ran into debt unless you
see a way to get out agaiu.
Small and steady gains give com-petency
with a tranquil mind.
Good company and good conversa-tion
are the sinews of virtue.
Your character cauuot be essen-tially
injured except by your own
acts.
If any one speaks evil of you let
your life be so that no one will be-lieve
him
When you retire to bed, think
over what yon have been doing da-ring
the day.
Never be idle; ifyour hands can't
be employed usefully, attend to the
cultivation of your mind.
Itead over tlie above maxims care-fully
and thoroughly at least once
every week.
A little ten year old miss told her
mother the other day that she was
never going to marry, but meant to
be a widow, because widows dressed
in such nice black, and always look
so happy!
A lad arrested for theft, when
taken before the magistrate and
asked what his occupation was
frankly answered: "Stealing."
" Yonr candor astonishes me," said
the ^ndge. " I thought it would,"
replied tho lad, "seeing how many
big ones there are who are ashamed
to own it."

The poor lunatics are starving in

A CARD.
MESSRS.EDITORS:—Following the
leading Radical orators in their tour
through the State, and cleaving to
their steps like the slime on the
trail of the serpent, there appears a
small sheet which may be consider-ed,
'par excellence,' the campaign
doenment ot the party, and a most
worthy monument of its virtue, and
defamatory skill. The names of the
Democratic-Conservative ticket are
assailed, with more or less maligni-ty,
and the missiles of calumny,c>ol
assertion, and impudent lying, are
indifferently employed in this inter-nal
broadside. My own name and
character have received the distinc-tive
compliment of its most rare
abuse. Anything wonld be prefer-able
to its approval.
The charges of which I am the
object may be briefly stated to be:
1. That I arrested aud dragged
to a bull pen forty-two respectable
women of Randolph couuty.
I say that I never arrested,or caus-ed
to be arrested, any women of
Randolph county, by any oder,writ-ten
or verbal. This charge is there-fore
false.
2. That I sanctioned the torture
of one Mrs Owens, and, it is even
insinuated that I witnessed and ag-gravated
her sufferings. No lie
more heartless and more wicked
was ever invented to injure the
fame of any human being. I de-nounce
the liar. I appeal to my un-blemished
character, established by
28 years of citizenship. I appeal to
the Confederate soldiers of theState,
and to every man and woman of
honor in North Carolina, whether
this thing is tine of me—whether
it is possible. Tbey will answer
that it is not. I despise the rest.
3. That I am responsible for
Owen's death. Were I so, I should
not shrink the responsibilty. But
1 do not even know how he died.
My orders were to offer pardon to
all who came to me. No man was
ever killed by my orders. Seven
hundred men surrendered and ac-knowledged
my humanity and good
faith.
4. I am accused of having "shot
and killed, one beautiful Snnday
morning, young Nortbcote,and that
his ouly crime was that he wonld
not raise hi3 arm to fight aginst the
Union."
This is given on the saying of
Judge Settle. We place all annou-ymous
slanderers with their fit as-sociates,
and only peers—the paid
informer, the common spy, and the
common hangman. I refuse to re-ceive
the evidence of such 'canaile.'
I decline to believe that Judge Set-tle—
himself a gentleman—is the au-thor
of this false and studiously
malevolent assertion. I pronounce
the statement that I killed North-cote
the wicked invention of an an-onymous
villian. I did not have
Northcote shot. No man dare say
so. I didl not even know him.—
He was shot, I believe, by the
soldiers of a command to which
I did not belong, and more than a
year before I came to Randolph
county—in short, when I was a
thousand miles away, in prison and
wonnded.
This infamons sheet, which con-tains
charges of nearly correspo'id-ing
atrocity against every candi-date
onthe State ticket,it is franked
ana sent (and perhaps written) by a
lbs New Marriage Law.
Tata act of the last Legislature
will be in force from the first day
of Julr, 1872. It prohibits the mar-riage
of males under 16 add females
under 14; limits Whites, Blacks
and1 Indians to their respective
meea. Parties under 18 years of age
Tsso aot obtain license without the
foil sent of their parents

side.' The license mast give the
full name of the parties aud of their
parents, their age, color and place
of residence. If a minister or a
magistrate marries without proper
lioeese, or fall within two months
thereafter to make a return ot the
naases, age, color and residence of
tke parties, attested by at least
three witnesses, he is to pay a fine
of$200. Marriage co4$tacts to de-fraud
creditors are void. Husbands
are not liable for debts of wives,
contracted before marriage. By
written agreements of the parties,
any wite may become a 'free trad-er.'
the Superior Courts may graut
dirarces, for deraertion, when one
wh»n one party shall 'maliciously
turn the other out of door,' 'endan-ger1
the life of the other,' 'render life
bniHensome,' or 'become an habitual
drunkard.
Bither man or wife eloping with
another party forfeits all claims on
the person or property of the party

the Judge is to give proper orders in

Bow an Indian Chief Expressed
his Preference for Greeley.—Last
night a nnmber of Indian chiefs
were in Fulton street fern house,
Brooklyn, waiting for a boat to take
thorn to New York. A throng of
curious persons filled the building,
and Sergeant Kane with difficulty
prevented them from crowding on
the Indians. As the chiefs stood
placidly smoking cigarettes, appa
rently unconscious of the attention
bestowed on them, a gentleman ap
preached the oldest chief and said:
" Big Chief, what do you think of
Horace Greeley!"
The Indian in measured puffs sent
three rings above his head, and then
advancing to his interrogator took
bin by the hand and bowed. The
otlier chiefs without moving from
their ' laces did the same. Some of
the spectators declared that it was
an acknowledgement of their belief
in Grant from the facts—first, of
their smoking, and second, in not
making any answer.
Sergeant Kane's solution of their
action was that they sent the three
wreaths of smoke above their heads
as an offering to the Great Maniton
and clasped bands with their pale-faced
brother for being a friend of
him whom the Maniton looks kiodly
upon, because he loves his children.
" We all know that's not Grant,"
ssid the Sergeant, " but the good
Horace Greeley."
As the name Greeley was again
mentioned the chiefs all bowed.—
This confirmed the Sergeant's inter-pretation
of their significant panto
mime. ^^^^__—^_
The Debt of Louisiana—The Lou-isiana
papers are debating the ques-tion
of the solvency of their 8tate
nnder the burden of the heavy taxa-tion
a Radical government has im-posed
upon its people. The debt is
said to be $60,000,000, as far as can
be ascertained. The general conclu-sion
is that tbe State can and must
stand the amount of indebtedness at
present accumulated, but that if the
same condition of affairs continues
in the future, the same wastful ex-travagance,
the same unscrupulous
robbery and the same unvarying,
unbroken rascality, the end cannnot
be other than repudiation. There
seems to us, ss far as can bejudged
from present appearances, but little
prospect of a change. Warmoutb
and Pinchbaok, Packard brother-in-law
Casey, still snap and quarrel
over tbe spoils, aud the State is rap-idly
spec ding,with all brakes up,iuto
the gulf of bankruptcy.
Remember that the Radical lead-ers
converted tbe KdncationalFund.
consisting of railroad stocks to the
amount of $420,000 into cash, get-ting
$158,000 for the stock. They
next,in order to prop up the falling
fortunes of the Radical leaders who
had conspired together to defraud
the State, invested $158,000 of this
money in those abominable special
tax bonds whicbCbief Justice Pear-son
decided were unconstitutional
and void. Judge Pearson delivered
his opinion in July, 1869; in No-vember,
1869, they bought these
unconstitutional bonds. Their ob-ject
was to help tbe swindlers of
State. These bonds were on the i
New York market and bad gone
down to 30 cents on the dollar. The I
swindling ring was about to loose
very largely by the depreciation of I
tbe bonds. Tbe Radical leaders, to
"bull" the market, make tbe bonds
go np, and pnt money in tbe pock-ets
of the conspirators, Invested the
sacred Educational Fund in these
Bonds. They are a dead loss. The
Railroad bonds which they sold are
now paying 6 per cent. This would
have given to the Educational Fund
an increase of $25,000 which the
Radicals have lost! '.—Blasting Pow-der.
A Wonderful Man.—The Wonder-ful
old man now is Mr. Simon Me-
Keevcr, of Summit Hill, Carbon
county, wbo "is one of the most
wonderful old men" the Manch I
Chunk Coal Gazette has ever met. |
He is iu bis ninety-first year, and
throughout bis long life he has been
a bard working man, but be still
exhibits the life and activity ot a I
bale and hearty man of sixty five. {
He is tbe father twenty-one children
nearly all of whom are living.—
Twenty years ago he came from Ire-land
to this country, bringing with
him his wife and seventeen children
—probably the largest family that
ever came over the water. Mr. Mc-
Keever still works every day, and
during last year he did not lose a
moment's time ou account of sick-'
ness. He walks a mile each morn-ing
to his work, and seems to enjoy
the exercise. Heretollectsdistinctly
tbe important events of Irish histo-ry
for nearly a century, and is al-ways
glad to talk on the subject.
He entertains visitors for hours,
being extremely communicative on
all subjects- One of bis sons, Wm.
McKeever, Esq.. is an estimable cit-izen
ot Summit Hill. There is prob-ably
no man iu tbe United States,
at Mr. McKeever's age, who is
equal to him in physical strength.
Tbe old gentleman appears to bave
tbe chance of many years of life.
How it Goes.—The popular np
rising for the reform of the Nation-al
Government seems to be spread
rig in tbe most wonderful manner
in every part of the country.
In almost every State tbe Liberal
Republicans and Democrats are
combining with enthusiam, select
ing for their candidates tbe strong-est
men of both parties.
The Grant party is becoming
thoroughly demoralized, and its
rank and file are rapid! v going over
to the cause ef reform.' '

Korth Carolina.—All eyes are
turned upon tbe Old North State.
The Administration is devoting all
its means and its despotic power to
putting down all resistance there.
Tbe money of the Radicals is spent
freely, and their efforts to enslave
North Carolina show how desperate
tbe chances of Grant have already
become. Surely, if the arbitrary
authority of Grant, bis means of
menace and intimidation, his re-sources
for bribery and corruption,
all fail to carry North Carolina, bis
defeat will be at onceassured. This
be and his followers know full well,
and hence their superhuman efforts
to win in that State. The people of
North Carolina bave theopportunity
of covering themselves with glory.
If they resist alike the threats and
blandishments of power tbey will
secure for themselves an undying
fame.—Rich. (Ya ) Dispatch.
Let the People Remember.—The
people should never forget that Gov.
Holden suspended tbe Constitution,
subverted liberty, recruited an army
of lawless desperadoes, and without
any sanction of law, made bis war-rant
on tbe Treasury for $74,000,
which warrant was'honored by tbe
radical Treasurer, to pay and sup-port
that army of despotism.
They should not forget that Gov.
Caldwell sustained Holden in this
despotism, and that tbe radical con-vention
that nominated him for Gov-ernor,
[exptessly endorsed Holden
and his crimes of 1870, by solemn
rest lution. This is au important
fact and worth the serious considera-tion
of every voter.
A middled siaed boy, writing a,
composition on "Extremes," remark-1
ed that " we should endeavor to
avoid extremes especially those of
wasps and bees."
Don't be too Sensitive.—There are
some people, yen, many people, al
ways looking out for slights. They
cannot carry on the daily inter-course
of the family without some
offense is designed. They are as
touchy &« the hair-triggers. Il
they meet an acquaintance iu the
street who happens to be pre-occii-pied
with business, they attribute
bis abstraction in some mode per-sonal
to themselves, and take um-brage
accordingly. They lay on
others the fact of their irritability.
A fit of indigestion makes them
see impertinence in every oue they
come in contact with. Innocent
persons who never dreamed of giv-ing
offense are astonished to find
some unfortunate word or momen-tary
taciturnity mistaken for au
insult. To say tbe least, the habit
is unfortunate. It is far wiser to
the more charitable view of
our fellow beings, we are.
and not suppose a slight is intend-ed
unless the neglect is open and
direct. After all, too, life takes its
hues in a > great degree from the
color of our mind. It we are frank
and generous, tbe world treats us
kindly. If, on the contrary, we are
suspicious, men learn to be cold
and cautions of us. Let a person
get the reputation of being touchy,
and everybody is under more or
less constrain, and in this way tbe
chances of an imaginary offense are
vastly increased.
Meat in Summer.—Whatever may
be said in regard to tbe use of meats
generally, there is scarcely a ques-tion
that tbe lees meat eat during
hot weather tbe better. In the first
place tbe process of decomposition
commences in the moment the ani-mal
is slaughtered, and continue-without
cessation, unless arrested
by salting, smoking, &c., until it is
entirely decomposed- In hot weath-er
this process proceeds very rap-idly.
Meat jnst from tbe butcher
is always tough, and it must be-come
partly decomposed before it
becomes tender and fit to eat. It
is this decomposition that makes it
tender, and tbe further this pro-cess
has proceeded, the tenderer
the meat. The eating of meats in
this condition, especially in hot
weather, poisons tbe blood with tbe
prodncts of decomposition, stimu-lates
the system to unnatural action
increase the beat, produces gener-ally
a condition of feveriabness and
renders the person more liable to
fevers, inflammations, and other
diseases, if the meats get a little
too "tender," it is almost certain to
bring on attack of diarrh.e, and
many cases are caused in this way.
If you value health and comfort:
use meat sparingly, and fruits and
vegetables freely during hot weath-er,
if at no other time.

Squandered.
During tbe fiscal year beginning
1st Octouei, 1809, there was spent
out of the Educational Fond the
sum of $204,411.01, which was ex-pended
as follows:
Invested in State
Bonds $150,000.00
D. A. Jenkins 131.20
Super 76.00
Costs in law suit 39.20
Poll tax returned 415.15
Paid t o teachers o f
schools 38,981.80
Paid to John Hood 1,778.60
Loaned to University 10,00000
Loaned to Deaf and
Dumb Asylum 3,000.00
Total $204,411.01
The investment in State bonds
has, of course, proved an entire loss
as have the amouuls paid to Hood
and loaned to the University. In-deed,
it is thought Professor Dick-son
will get his gnm rails before the
Educational Fuud will get back its
$10,000.
Not one-fifth of the whole amount
expended was applied to common
schools! Out of over two hundred
thousand dollarsexpended.lerS tl an
thirty-nine thousand was paid to
