The quiet little church of Sam a
ria, iu Ferrills township, Nash
county, was the sceue of the most
frenzied excitement on last Satin
day, occasioned by the attempt ot
two stout buck negroes, Brat to
occupy seats in the church with
whites aud afterwards by insulting
a number of ladies iu the yard.
The circumstances as stated to
us by a well known gentleman of
Nash county, present at the church,
are as follows:
A revival of religion having been
in progress for the past two weeks.
on Saturday the congregation was
unusually large, embracing quite a
number of colored people who oc
enpied seats in that part ot the
church especially provided for thctn.
During the intermission for dinner,
two stout negro men walked into
the church and took the front seat
which was set apart for the choir.
On the reassembling of the eon
gregation, the negroes held their
positions when they were approach
ed by members of the choir who
politely asked them to vacate and
take the seats especially provided
for the colored people. The negroes
replied stubbornly that as tree men,
they had a right to sit where they
pleased and would go nowhere, A
brief consultation was held by the
white people and it was resolved to
again quietly approach the negroes
and without force or threats to pre
rail upon them to vacate, and in
case of refusal to suspend the ser-vices.
After much persuasion the
negroes reluctlantly left the church
and sauntered out in the yard.—
Services in the church were re
suTiled, during which several ladies
went to the well in the yard to get
water. The negroes who were
standing near, approached the In-dies
and offered to escort them to
the church or elsewhere that they
might desire to walk. Their fa
miliar convcisation became insult
ing and the ladies returned to the
church for protection. The negroes
Still loitered about the yard and
boldly and openly stated that in a
short time they would not only oc-cupy
the churches and schools with
the whites but they would escort
the ladies to the church and sit
with them in the same pew.
It is needless to say that the pec-pal
were highly iodiguaut and ex-asperated
almost beyond endurance,
but through the earnest Solicita-tions
of the ministers and deacons
of the church quietly submitted to
the outrage.
Siuce the above was written we
have received from an esteemed cor-respondent
in Ferrill's township,
the following corroboration of tin-facts
as stated :
FERRILL'S TIIWNSIIH', NASH Co.,
August 23, 1876.
Dear Advance :—It is my painful
task this moruing to report to you
a most dastardly outrage by two
negroes at Samaria meeting house,
in this county.
Rev. Addisou Nowell, pastor ol
the church, organized last trees a
protracted meeting which prospered
aud was doing good work. Ou Fri-day
or Saturday, one Dennis Tabor u
and Saudfoid Amietson, two buck
negrt cs, weut in church aud took
seats on the benches set apart tor
the whites iu front of the pulpit.—
Joseph Murray, Jr., a member ol
the church aud oue of the choris-ters,
quietly approached the in-truders
and asked them to vacate
yard. While the afternoon services
wen- in progress a number of ladies
repaired to the well in the yard to
get water when they were confrout
ed by the same negroes, who en-tered
into a conversation so familiar
an to be highly insulting. After
loitering about the church for some
time, they left and passing the
house of Mr. Stauly Weathersby,
they were heard by that gentleman
to say that they regretted that they
did not take the ladies' seats at
church which they would have kept
and had a gay old time of it. They
also said in Mr. Weathersby's hear-ing,
"the time will soon come when
we can sit with white women iu
church, wait on them, and marry
them at our own pleasure."
This report is true- to the letter
and can be proven by affidavits if
demanded. I do not think that
the good white people of Ferrill's
township are ready lo embrace civil
lights yet awhile, and Ike Young,
who would have us to swallow it
on his shallow statement that the
negroes don't want it, will find that
such statements when rebutted by
naked, startling facts are worth-less.
^^^^^^^^^ K.
Horatio Seymour's Demand.
Shoic the Books— What the Boohs
hate Shown.
Ill his great campaign speech four
years ago, Horatio Seymour said
that the people made of the Repub-lican
party one demaud, to which
they would brook no refusal—show
the books !—the books of your long
stewardship of the Federal Govern-ment.
He lorctold that when the
books were shown, in spite ot every
device to prevent it, the way would
be plain to better and cheaper ad-ministration
of tbo (iovernmeut.—
Horatio Seymour has uot merely
commanding ability, burning elo-qui
ace, aud great judgmentof pres-ent,
exigencies, but that finer aud
rarer quality ol high statesmanship,
that clear prescience of the very
soul of an extended era, which al-most
amounts to prophecy. He
never speaks without striking a
key-note : and less a mere tactician
than great, political strategist, his
view includes the results of distant
conflicts as well as of the immedi-ate
events of the day.
Fortunately, the prophetic ad-vice
of the great New York states-man
has been partially followed by
his party. Under the power of the
House the Administration has been
compelled to show the books in part.
I Ipggedly and reluctantly they have
been produced—-each individual
official and the whole power of the
Administration resisting step by
step each demand. Little has yet
been exposed in comparison with
the whole great mass of crime and
extravagance, but what has been
done has already resulted in a sav-ing
ot 130,000,000, and a wholesome
fear ol justice among officials,
whichcompels honesty and accuracy
where loose administration and
peculation would otherwise prevail.
This year the people again cry
"show the books;" and, by the
election ol Tilden and Hendrieks,
will compci a lull and candid show-ing
as the essential toreruiiuer ol
real Administrative Reform.
THE FREE SCHOOL-FUND.
HOW GOVERNOR VANCE
PRSERVED IT DURING
THE WAR.
How Holden Settled and Sac-rificed
it After the War.
Vance said its Abstraction for War
Purposes was Absolute Robbery
of the Poor Children
of the State.
Holden with Settle at his back
Consummated that Robbery.

FUND AND GAVE IT TO HIS CAR-PET

in this) game of Plundering the
State, while the Poor Children,
the Victims of hit Party and his
Promotion, are left in the toils of
Poverty, tlie despair of Darkness
and the ruin of Ignorance.
The Conttitution, the New North
State and Judge Settle will have to
come down from their lofty attitude
on the sacred free school fund of
North Carolina. They have rung
the changes on the charge that
Governor Vance during the war
laid the violent hands of a fierce
traitor on the sacred free school
fund of the State invested in good
permanent securities, and put it
into the worthless war bonds of
the Confederate States.
A bolder falsehood was never ut-tered.
Governor Vance, nor no
Governor before him, had any con-trol
over the free school fuud, but
the legislature did ; and Governor
Vance hearing that a proposition
to reinvest the school fund in Con-federate
bonds would come before
the legislature of 1863, on page 19
of his published message to the leg-islature,
said:—
" There has been some disposi-tion
manifested to take this fund
for war purposes. Should there
really exist a serious desigu on the
part of any one to do this (which I
hardly think probable) I earnestly
hone you will promptly defeat it.
* * • Its abstraction
would be au absolute robbery of the
poor children of the State.
On the contrary it should be your
duty carefully to preserve, aud if
possible increase this fund, make
provision for its regular distribution
and do everything in your power
to educate the youth of the coun-try."
Is this tho language and conduct
of a man who robs school funds by
investing them in worthless war
bonds ?
The North Carolina free school
fund remaiued invested in the old
above par stocks and bonds, and it
was found to be in these securities
at the close of the war, as follows :
Expenses, { 2,014.00
Lent to University, 12.00O.00
Invested in special lax bond-, LV,000.00
Ditbu.eed for tchools, 38,931.86
They deliberately killed the uni-versity,
yet we find that iu 18C9 and
1870 they spent there for the benefit
of Sol. Pool, Fiske Brewer and
such $15,000 in loans that are all
gone where the woodbine twiueth.
Notwithstanding their pretended
devotion to the cause .of popular
education, their boasted liberality,
their reckless extravagance, they
spent nothing for schools during
the first year of their administra-tive
control of the school fuud; and
during the second aud last year onlv
$38,981.86, although tbey received
for educational purposes that year
$333,973.76.
And these are all facts by the
record. They are brought out by
the democratic executive committee
at much labor and with great pains
and care to assure accuracy.
They show that Governor Holden
and his associates of the republi.
can party have plundered the State
in every conceivable way, either
systematically or through weak-ness,
and that in the hands of that
party which Settle now leads, even
the sacred trust fund of the pool
children of the State is not safe,
and under the auspices of that par-ty
we should never have a system
of free schools.

Vance Protects the Property
of the People.
17* Citizens of North Carolina!
read how nobly Gov. Vance stood
up for the rights of the masses a-gainst
outrages, in the taking of
their property, and the plundering
of them during the war by over-zealous
officers. The following let-ter
ot Gov. Vance was written to
Gen. D. H. Hill, during the war,
and is to be found in the Legislative
Documents of the Special Session
ot May, 1861:
State of North Carolina, i
Executive Department,
Raleigh, April 22,1863.)
Gen. D. II. Hill, Goldsboro, N. C:
Dear Sir : The papers in relation
to the seizure of horses in Moore
and Randolph by Lieut. , has
been received with endorsements.
The explanations are very unsat-isfactory
and disingenons. It is ex-ceedingly
strange that 15 or 20
horses should be taken, and the of-ficers
uot know who they were taken
from or who they belonged tot
This being so, iu all conscience,
boa did he know them to be disloy-al
! What right had Lieut. to
plunder the citizens 1 By whose
• did be undertake to trj
tiiese people, and decide upon their
loyalty, and proceed to confiscate
their property I And more especi-ally
who authorized him to burn the
still-houses of the citizens 1 I am
sine I did not, neither did General
Smith who sent him to me.
1 think, according tohisowu cou-fessions,
be has made out a case
sufficient foi him to be dismissed
from the service. I dou't ask this,
however, but only that the horses
may be returned to their owners or
paid lor. I have no right, however,
to waive any claim these men may
have against the government for
damages for their houses burnt.
Very respectfully and truly yours

Questions and Answers.
The Indianapolis Sentinel says:
" It you ask a Republican orator
what he has to say of the corruption
of the administration, he will tell
you, in answer, that there was red-banded
rebellion in the South fif-teen
years ago.
If you ask him what prospect
there is of reform aud economy un-der
Hayes, he will tell you that the
Republicau party emancipated the
slaves.
If you speak of subsidies, he will
reply that negroes are oppressed
aud disfranchised in the South.
It you name Babcock and Bel-knap,
he will talk of the Confeder-ate
generals iu Congress.
If you ask whether taxation is to
be reduced, he will tell you that the
Democrats want to enslave the ne-groes
again.
If you meutiou rings, he will
quote you au extract from a South-ern
paper threating extermination
of the negroes.
If you recall to his mind sand-stone,
San Domingo, or grave stone
contracts, he will read you a touch-ing
monody on Libby and Ander
sonvilla.
If you talk of putting honest
men in office, he will snatch up a
bloody shirt and wave it at you.
It you demand the cause of the
increase of public expenses, he will
reply that Jeff Davis was a traitor.
If you suggest the probable guilt
of Graut in the whisky frauds, he
will reply that negroes were slaugh-tered
at Hamburg.
No matter what gross abuse is
alluded to, what crime in high
places has been committed, there
comes back over the old bloody
shirt policy for a rely. Truly the
Radicals are in a bad fix. They are
on the defeusive, and the case made
up against them. They cannot
answer honestly and fairly without |
condemning themselves, and hence
tuey tell of terrible things in the
past to justify or hide away from
public view the depravity of the
party in power. They expect the
bloody shirt to cover a multitude
of sins.
STUPENDOUS EXPENDITURE
OF PUBLIC MONEY IN 16
YEARS-$7,239,638,341.
In the very pointed speech which
Gov. Tilden made iu Albany the
night the news of his nomination
reached that city, to a vast con-course
of her citizens calling on
him, after picturing this vast coun-try
stretching from ocean to ocean,
with a fertile soil, with every varie-ty
of climate and production, with
n at n i al and artificial modes of travel
and transportation unsurpassed,
with all the arts and industries of
au older civilization, and the bound-less
natural wealth of a virgin con-tinent,
" we ought to be the hap-piest
and most contented people on
the globe."
He theu turned and asked:
'• What is our actual condition 1—
All business depressed—every in-dustry
languishing—labor without
employment, and the wolf at the
door of every home in the land,
gaunt and hungry."
In his own very clear way, he
states the reasons that in the
eleven years siuce the war the earn-ings
of labor and income of capital
have been consumed aud wasted in
governmental expenditures.
Believing with Gov. Tilden that
it is in this vast and wasteful ex-travagance
and robbery of the pub-lic
funds, together with the unequal
fiscal operations of that Morrill
tariff system, which we propose to
show is another ot the most promi-nent
causes of all of the suffering
which the panic has inflicted on this
land since September, 1874, to the
present hour.
The Treasury of the United States

30,1861, to June, 30,1874, inclusive,

Governor Vance of the charge that

Since so much has been said by
the republican papers and speakers
touching events incidental to the
war, which they invariably parade
as the war record of Gov. Vance,
it has become a matter of duty oft
the part of his friends to show that,
though he sought to do his duty as
any honorable man occupying an
honorable position must have done,
yet he was not the cruel and inhu-man
monster his mendacious foes
represent him to have been.

PITTSBOBO. Sept. 21st, 1864.
Hit Excellency Z. B. Vance :
MY DEAR SIR:—Your note of
the 13th, forwarded from Hillsboro,
was received here on yesterday.—
When I stated to Major Devereux
the treatment which Owen's wife
had received at the hands of Col.
Pike and others, I did not desigu
becoming an informer in the mat-ter,
but I do not regret that it has
reached the ears of yonr excellency.
I had determined to prosecute the
guilty parties in Randolph, but I
have just learned from Wm. Long,
who is Pike's counsel in the matter,
that whatever was done to Mrs.
Owens occurred jost over the line
in Moore county. Owens' wife
seems to feel that she is an outcast
and has made no complaint to any
oue, but the statement, as I received
it from several respectable gentle-men
in Randolph, is as follows:
Pike and others jerked Owens' wife
down by the hair, dragged her a
short distance to a feuce, laid her
on her back and placed her thumbs
under the corner of a heavy fence
and tortured her for some time, in
order to make her disclose tbe
whereabouts of her husband.—
When I reach Randolph (next week)
I will investigate the matter and
write you again, giving you the
names of all the parties concerned,
the witnesses, &c.
I have the honor to be,
With great respect,
Yonr or/t serv't,
THOMAS SETTLE.
Mrs. Thompson called on Gov.
Vance and represented her case,
stated that her husband was a de-serter,
aud solicited aid. Governor
Vance gave her a letter tolfr. Rog

supplies she required. When the
governor next saw Mr. Rogers he
told him that he had no authority
of law for the order he had given
him, but the woman was in distress,
that her husband being a deserter
neither altered that fact uor abro-gated
the laws of humanity, that
the sins of the husband aud father
ought not to be visited ou the wife
and children, and if harm should
come of the matter he, Vance, as-sumed
the responsibility, aud would

harm in the premises.
Mr. Rogers will make oath to the
above statement of facts, if neces-sary.
The letter Vance gave him
was captured and carried to Wash-ington.

The above is from page 30 of the
published report of Treasurer Jeuk
ins for 1868-'69, aud it shows that
none of tbe principal was touched
or chauged by Governor Vauce or
anyone else during tbe war. Mr.
Jeukius finds ou hand every item
belonging to the school fund before
tbe war.
But along comes Governor Hol-den
with his Laflins, Asheleys,
Harrises and Pools. He reports iu
his published message to tbo legis-lature
of 1808 '69, ou page 19, that
they had sold the stock iu the V> tf-miugton

railroad, amounting to six hun-dred

for the sum of one hundred and

Smith as a Deserter Hunter.
It is no idle tale that William A.
Smith hunted deserters with dogs
during the war. The men whom
he chased are living to testify to
the fact, and Smith himself does
not deuy it.
He levied on bis regiment for
funds to hire Berkley Cone's negro
dogs, aud told them that with the
dogs he could dispense with half
the militia, aud they could go to
their homes. The dogs were pro-cured
and with Cone's loud horn he
hastened on his hunt.
An old man aud his daughter
visited a son iu the woods to supply
bim with food. Smith and his dogs
fell on tbe trail of the old gentle-man
and his daughter aud chased
them to their home. Arriving
there, Smith cursed aud abused the
family, insisting that the boy was
iu the house. He tore up the floor,
turned the dogs iuto the cellar, aud
after ransacking the house aud
frightening the family he left, but
could not strike the trail of the
young man, who says he put spirits
of turpentine ou his feet.
Another soldier bad been sevcicU
wounded aud was discharged from
the army. Reluming home Smith's
bloodhounds fell upon his track
aud chased iiiin until he was ex-hausted
and had to take a tree —
Coming up, Smith ordered him
down, but he would uot come, when
Smith procured an ax and began to
cut the tree.
These are statements of men who
are comiug forward voluntarily to
make them, and they go to show
that the radical nominee tor lieu-tenant-
governor bad as keen seen:
for tbe war as any man engaged in
it; and if the history of bis out-rages,
perpetrated on the poor peo-ple
while huntiug their relatives
aud friends with negro dogs, could
be written, even his cheek would
tiugle with shame at the iufaaiy
and cruelty of his war record.

How was it tbe next year t The
receipts for educational purposes
for 1870, were $333,963.76.
Of this lnnd they made disburse-ments
as follows:
29,944,253 ia the reduction in
annual expenditures of tho govern-ment
made by one Democratic Con-gre*
That fact can't be rubbed
out. The reduction would have
amounted to $10,000,000 more had
not the Republican Senate obsti-nately
refused and defeated it.
j 1,560,000,000
This sum takeu from entire ex-penditure
of public moneys leaves
$1,940,000,000 for the civil service
of the Government as against a
like expenditure for this service
under ten years of Democratic ad-ministration
before tbe war, $590,-
000,000. Iu other words, an expen-diture
for the civil service of Gov-ernment
alone under the Radical or
Republican rule annually of more
than 300 percent. Who can doubt
that theGreat Reformer, who saves
$7,000,000 annually in New York
expenditures would administer the
National Government on 75 per
cent, increase On the average ex-penditure
before the war. Allow-ing
the war expenses to remain the
same as inidei the Republican rule,
then-would be under Mr. Tildeu's
admiostration an annual saving of
of the people's money of over $120,-
000.000. For his term, $100,000,-
000.
Is it to be wondered that in the
face of this vast, corrupt and crim-inal
expenditure of the public
money that the popular impulses
are to-day beating in unison with
that of the Great Reformer, aud
that the yearning of the popular
heart went out spontaneously to
him as the man to lead iu this
great reform movement now thrill-ing
the bosoms of forty-live mil-lions
of people on this continent ?
On the other hand, the operations
of the present tariff on tbe revenue
of the people, as denounced by the
St. Louis platform, is that in order
to raise $300,000,000 for the public
treasury, at an average duty of 50
per ceut. on the imports to the
amount of 1600,000,000, the con-sumer
has to pay 50 per cent, ou
the 11,800,000,000of manufactures
ot a domestic product.
In other words, a bounty of that
percentage ou this vast amount of
domestic manufactures annually
consumed iu this country by the
consuming class, which, iu the
main, are the laboring population,
who pay to the niaufacturing capi-talists
"$000,000,000 bounty, and
uuder this system have paid more
than $9,000,000,000, or four times
the amount of the national debt.
Is it to be wondered at, the vast
distress which prevails among the
working classes, where a system
like this in the last sixteen years
has been building up the most gi
gantic wealth side by side with the
most deplorable poverty which has
ever been seen—when thirty-five
men at the North have an aggre
gate wealth greater than the three
million of people who emerged from
the Revolution.
In view of this stupendous rob-bery
by tbe Radical party, we say
to the American people again—
"Arihe, ye Goths, and vent your ire."'

Falling off in Immigration.
The falling off in immigration to
America during recent years is con
firmed by the reports made of Eng-lish
emigratiou, which furnishes one
of our chief sources of supply. In
1875 there were 173,809 emigrants
from the United Kingdom, a de
crease of nearly one-half compared
with 1873, aud the smallest annual
number leported for thirteen years
past. A considerable number of
these emigrants were, however, of
other nationalities, so that the
actual emigration of persons of
British origin was bnt 140,675. As
during the samo period 94.228 per-sons
went back to the kingdoir, the
net lo6S of populatiou from this
source was but 46,447. The chief
destination of the emigrauts during
1875 were 81,193 to the United
States, 34,750 to Australia, and 12,-
30G to Canada. The chief decrease
is in the emigration to the United
States, which, compared with the
preceding year, fell off nearly 20
percent. There is a larger falling
off in per centage, though not so
