[ORIGINAL )
Raise high tin- banner of Reform—
Onrs is a noble caui*-,
Bra*e men will always face the storm—
TM cowards only pause.
Trn*- men will not ileitert tho ship
When threateneil wilh dtoMt4T|

And stick to her the fuller.
Our ship of state is tempest tost—
She's lost if we but wavi-r,
If she goeti down then all is lost,
W* can, will, mint nave her.
A blundering crew have run her thus
Until they'vp almost wrecked her,
And now nur duty calls to IIH
To take command—direct her.
Come let us man her briwcly now,
ltrace up with ncrcws of steel,
Away from brakers turn her prow
Put strong arms at the wheel.
From threateninir serfs ami ln.iki rs free,
And working all together
She'll ride the tempesl and the soa
In spite of wind and weather.
With Captain Tihlen at the wheel
And llendrioks on tho deck,
They'll keep her thm' and we need feel
No dread of atom, or wreck.

The ill-breb, ill-fed, lieggarly mob
that drifts into Washington daily
on its return from the Centennial
to its Western home, is about the
severest criticism on our nation's
prosperity and our national breed
ing ever suffered by an all-wise
Providence to live, or allowed by a
sensible generation to tread the
paths of lite, a memento of the
smallness of humanity. When we
say the average Centennial visitor
is meaner than a dead dog rolled in
tan bark, we are doing a gross in
justice to the dog, and fail utterly
to convey the genuine character ot
this strange class of people. Rude,
dirty, and huugry, au army of
starved grasshoppers would be
balm of Gileud in their stead. They
carry their provender in their pock-ets,
eat it on the curbstones, and
leave the city when tlieir larder
plays out.— Washington Capitol.
This is pretty rough on the people
who have stinted themselves to see
the great show ; but, the sentiment
is the true feeling of most Yankees
toward everybody. If they cau't
squeeze money out of them—they
are put down—"as meauer than a

you have money and spend it freely
you are all right—they all smiles.

*
Will Captain Settle come to Cas
well and shake his clenched fist
again almost in ex-Sheriff Wiley's
face, and demand to know if he
(Wiley) killed Stephens? Mr. Wiley
is one of the cleverest and most
upright citizens iu the county—he
was born and raised a gentleman,
and as evidence of the kindness of
his heart and the goodness of his
nature, we may state that at one
time when a candidate for sheiiff
he received every vote in the county
except one. He made as good an
officer as ever served a writ, but
his heart was too tender and kind
to distress his fellow-beings by sell-ing
them out, &C, under the man-dates
of the law, and the business
nor suiting him lie resigned the
office for the more agreeable pur-suits
of private life. This gentle-man
was arrested by that intuitions
wretch and detestable scoundrel
Burgin, charged with killing Ste-phens,
his accuser being a notori-ous
negro thiel and liar. He was
arraigned before the supreme court
where there was not a particle of
evidence against him, and ho proved
an alibi by the best men in the
county. Mr. Wiley asked aud re-ceived
leave of the court to make a
statement, which, of itself, satisfied
everybody of the man's innocence
except one Captain Judge Settle.
Aware ol Wiley being a prisoner
at the bar and hiinsell one of the
judges, he disgraced his high posi-tion
by meanly descending from
the supreme court bench and ap-proaching
.Mr. Wiley with a grin
and gritting his teeth, and bran-dishing
his clenched fist almost in
Mr. Wiley's lace, he asked •'Didn't
—you kill—StephensV "1 did
not," was the emphatic reply.—
"Don't you kuow who did '" Mr.
Wiley—"I do not." Settle—"But
didn't you decoy him to that room i"
Wiley, (emphatically and firmly)—
■•I did Dot, sir "
Think of a .judge ol the supreme
court doing this thing. Now, Judge
Pearson was perfectly satisfied of
Mr. Wiley's innocence, and really
blushed at the indecent and rude
behavior of Judge Thomas Settle.
We were astonished to hearot such
deportment ou the part of Judge
Settle, and can only account lor it
upon the supposition that the judge
carried a level quart of John Bar-leycorn
on his judicial stomach.—
He this as it may, let the voters of
Caswell remember the judge's rude
behavior to oue of the best men in
the county, and one among the last
men in the county who would stain
his hand with human blood.—.1717-
ton Chronicle. a
This was bad enough in a Judge
at any time ; but in view of the
recent developnients,Iixing the mur-der
of Stephens upon the Radical
party, how must it shock the good
people of the State. If Stephens
was murdered as al'.edged by Rev.
T. O. Bailey, then the Judge knew
Mr. Wiley was innc ent and used
his official position to force a con-fusion
to a crime of which he was
innocent, and the Judge's party
had committed.
" Would you, after a hen had
been sitting on the eggs until they
had become rotten, effect a change

Too Cruel. Hang him if guilty
Remember that the Oanby con-stitution
was forced upon the peo-ple
of Xorth Carolina when 30,000
of her best citizens were disfran-chised
and not permitted to vote
upou it.
The New York Sun says : "Gov.
Tilden stands lire like a veteran as
he is. The perjury shot and the
copperhead shell have not hurt a
hair of him. He is all the stronger
for the futile efforts of his enemies
to break him down."
29,944,253 is tbe reduction in
annual expenditures of tho govern
iiieni made by oue Democratic Cou-gres.
That fact cau't be rubbed
out. The reductiou would have
amounted to $iu,0<X>,000 more had
not the Republic-ail Senate obsti-nately
refused and defeated it.
North Carolina.
A correspondent of tbe New
York Herald says:
In North Carolina and Louisiana
the situation if materially different
bias that in other of the ex-confed-erate
States. In 1800 the Demo-cratic
party of Xorth Carolina was
divided between Breckenridge and
Douglas, who had married in that
State into a strong family, at the
head of which was Governoi David
8. Reid, Hon. Thomas Settle and
Hon. R. P. Dick. The war brought
on auuion which only lasted during
the first year, and Vauce was elect-ed
Governor by the serai-union con-servative
party, led by Holden and
other good Democrats like Settle
audOick. They soon quarrelled with
Vauce and kept North Carolina in
a turmoil nntil Houden's appoint-ment
as Governor by President
Johnson in 18G5. There was then
a change of front among many old
politicians. Numbers of the Demo-cracy—
Holden, Settle, Dick and
Rodman—joined with old Whigs
like General Rufus Barringer, and
collected around them some good
Confederate soldiers, and made a
Union party before the days of ne-gro
suffrage. The semi-Union old
Whig sent inii-nt tended to opposi-tion,
aud Worth and Graham be-came
the beads of the new Deuicra-cy
aud carried the State over Hol-den,
thus dividing the the white
people by a line irrespective of old
parlies, Unionism, or ex-Confeder-ate
fidelity. When negro suffrage
came, of course, it made tbe State
overwhelmingly Republican, and
the whites have been struggling
ever since to orgauize so as to get
control of the State government.
They have beeu gradually succed-ing
year by year. In 1870 there
were 140,000 "white voters and 78,-
000 black, aud iu lS72Caldwell for
Governor received 08.000—that is,
only about 20,000 whites voted tor
hint, for I he full negro vote was
polled. This leaves IL'0,000 for the
Democrats and the stay at homes.
It is this margin which makes tbe
Slate doubtful. Out of 200,000
votes it is safe to calculate on 20,000
not voting ami thus the probable
Democratic majority becomes a
matter of 1,000 o r 2,000. Hut
while this in so, other causes have
been operating to force the whites
more and moie together. .Misgov-ernment,
republican corruption in
the State government, all have
tended to unite the whites. On
the other hand Vance is the Demo-cratic
nominee tor Governor in the
old districts where the deserters
and red strings most abounded du-ring
the war. and it was some feel-ing
of this sort which led tbe dozen
Democrats from the mountains to
bolt the caucus which bad nominat-ed
Vauce tor United States Senator
and unite with the Republicans on
Merrimon, who had been looked
upon during the war as not over
loyal to tbe Confederacy. Settle
the Republicau nominee for Gov-ernor
is a man ol fair abilities aud
a fair record, but by no means the
equal ol Vance on the stump, and
1 am satisfied which ever party is
enthusiastic and sauguiue iu the
last two weeks before tbe electiou
will carry the State. In other
words, if Indiana goes Democratic
in October North Carolina is cer-tain
for Tildeu by perhaps 10,000
majority.
How to Vote at the Ensuing
Election.
At tbe electon in November six
tickets are to bo voted, and conse-quently
the same number of ballot
boxes will have to bejused at each
voting place or precinct. The bil-lowing

to law :
1. Electoral Ticket.—Ten Elec-ton
for President and Vice-1'resi-dent
of the United States.
1. State Ticket.—Governor, Lieu-tenant
Govornor,Secretary of State,
Auditor, Treasurer, Superintendent
ol Public Instruction and Attorney
General
3. Congressional Ticket.—Mem-bers
of the House of Representa-tives
of the 45th Congress.
4. Legislative Ticket.—Senator
(or Senators) iu the General Assem-bly
and member (or members) of
the House of Representatives of the
General Assembly.
5. County Ticket.—County Treas-urer,
Register of Deeds, County
Surveyor, five County Commission-ers,
Corouer and Sheriff.
(J. ('(institutional Amendments

What does Stephen A. Douglas,
Jr., Radical candidate for elector
on the negro ticket, think of this ?
Ike Young, the Internal Revenue
candidate for Cougrcss iu the Ral-eigh
district, sounded the key-note
of the Radical campaign when he
said "all the Radicals have to do is
LIE LIKE HELL, AND STICK
TO IT."
Colored Voters in the South.
We advise the colored voters in
the Southern States to support the
Democratic State aud local tickets.
They will probably, i:.. general,
want to vote fc* Ctorern >r naves,
and this they eat •tally do at the
same time that they Vote for the
Democratic local and State tickets
It is time for them to exercise dis
crimination in their voting. To
"vote the straight ticket" is not, as
they have been taught by corrupt
white men, tbe highest duty of an
Americau citizen. They may rea
sonably say that they prefer a re-publican
federal administration :
but in such States as South Caro-lina,
Louisiana aud Mississippi,
they ought to see that they have
been in local politics only the in
strumeutsof bad men, who mislead
them and use them for purposes
antagonistic to their owu interests
and to those of tbe communities of
which they are a part. Senator
Houtwell, one of the most zealous
and watchful friends of the South-ern
colored men, was so impressed
with the condition of Mississippi
politics that he advised the colored
leaders in that State to nominate
none but leading white men of
character and standing iu tbe com-munity,
native born and property
owners, to the offices, and to sup-port
these faithfully. This was
sound advice. If they do this they
will give the State peace and them-selves
the good will of the whole
community. So iu South Carolina,
General Hampton, one of the fore-most
citizens of t he-state, solemnly
and publicly pledges himself that,
if he is chosen Governor, he will
execute impartial justice between
white and black and sec that the
colored people are secure in all
their rights in every part of the
State. We advise the colored man
to take him at his word and give
him a trial. Hs promisee more
than Governor Chamberlain has
performed, aud ho has the abiltity
to do what he says. In Louisiana
there cau be no doubt of the duty
of colored voters; they ought to
support the Conservative State
ticket and put down the corrupt
Itepublicau ring which has BO long
kept tbe State in turmoil. If the
colored voters iu these States should
declare openly that they mean to
vote for Hayes, but that they will
everywhere support the local Dem-ocratic
tickets, they would put a
new face on tbe campaign in tin-
South, and they would only be
doing, after all, what honest white
Republicans in Louisiana and Mis-sissippi
have been doing for several
years—A'eir York Herald.

Troops That are Not Wanted
In the South.
Company D, of the Eleventh
United States Infantry, arrived in
this city on Sunday, and were
obliged to lay over until Monday.
They were from Fort Worth, or
some other post iu Texas, Mid on
tlieir way to the Indian country in
Dakota. A meddlesome Radical
politician met the boys soon aftel
they had pitched their tents on a
bill above the depot, aud called
out :
" 11 in rah. boys, for Have-1"
Not a solitary cheer responded.
One of the sergeants stepped outoi
tbe crowd and remarked :
" Yon have made a mistake : we
don't cheer for Hayes ; we are Til-den
men."
" What! you don't mean to op-pose
the men who give you food
and clothing 1"
" Yes, we do. We are tired of
Grant and his gang: and as for
food and clothes, we will excuse
him for that if he will let us loose."
" Oh, uousense, boys ; you don't
mean to go back on Grant and
Hayes T
" Yes, wo will go back on any
man who keeps two thirds of our
boys iu blue down iu -Dixie' to
keep white men down beneath the
niggers, and who sends a handful
of us North to be killed and scalped
by the Indians, armed by guns and
bullets furnished by Gram's broth-er,
Orvil, and bis deputy post
traders; and I will bet you a keg
Of beer that three-fourths of my

A vote was taken, and the vote

The man-eating tiger, says Land

"She crawls to the edge of the
thicket and looks round. It is on-ly

devil knows well that ho is an
easy prey ; she creeps toward her
unconscious victim with the soft
and noiseless tread of a cat; her
long tail switches from side to side,
her sharp claws dart from their vel-vet
sheaths, the devil is Loused with-in
her, aud glares in her flaming
eyeballs; she throws herself for-ward
with a cat-like bound, aud the
stricken wretch is writhing in her
latal grasp, while with closed eyes
and a low growl, expressive of sav-age
delight, she sucks tbe warm
blood from his mangled throat."
B. Y. H. Billy Smith's Secret.
A gentleman writing us from
Vadkinville, N. O. says : "1 heard
W. A. Smith say, on the 12th inst,
at Buck Shoals, 'Jarvis is only a
young fox yet and has not learned
all tbe cuuning tiicks, After the
twentieth of this month I am going
home and will not go with Jarvis
any longer, but will slip arounc
wliere he has no idea that I am at,
lor I can do more good lor our par-ty
iu that way." Billy Smith said
this privately. This shows his
principle. He has utterly disap-pointed
public expectation, and has
disgusted his party friends in Yad-kin
countv. I think he is disgust-ed
with himself. As a black-guard

Who Inaugurated the Kirk
War?
Kirk's regiment of ragmufflns
was organized and put into the field
to prey upon the lives, liberties and
properties of the people of North
Carolina in 1870, under authority of
the famous—some people say" in-famous—
Shoffoer bill. John Pool,
a United States Senator from this
State, is the reputed author of that
bill. The Shoffner bill as it became
a law and the proposed plan of op-erations
under it were submitted to
a Republican caucus of the Senate
by Senator Pool, and to the caucus
Of the house of representatives by
Benjamin 1". Butler, and by both
adopted in accordance with the
views of Pool aud Abbott, both of
which bodies were addressed by
Mr. Pool in support of his measure's
and views thereon.
Subsequently the matter, accord-ing
to a statement made iu this city
by Mr. Pool, came up for consider-ation
in a cabinet meeting, Mr.
Pool says, President Grant adopted
a policy for Governor Holden to
carry out. It was this : Kirk with
his armed force was to go ahead
and arrest all |iersons charged with
or suspected of kuklux outrages.—
A judge was to accompany the ex-pedition
to inquire into tbe cases of
all a:rested parties and bind over
such as there was cause or probable
cause for holding, and releasing all
against whom charges could not be
sustained.
Here Mr. Pool says Governor
llolden blundered. Instead of hav-ing
a judge accompany the military
movement, the governor organized
his military court which was to try
the parties arrested, and shoot or
bang on the spot all those fouud
guilty by this military tribunal. The
sain.- authority states that as soou
as it was seen at Washington what
Governor Holden was doing, arrest-ing
hundreds of citizens and hold-ing
them in prison, denying them
the right to have their cases in-piired
into by competent judicial
authority, and refusing to obey the
writ ol the Chief Justice of the
State, tlie president aud all hands
became supremely disgusted with
llolden looking upon the whole
movement as a farcical miscarriage.
Governor llolden tells Mr. Bailey
that he billowed the instructions
sent him from Washington to the
letter. However this may be, it is
., fact long ago established and
fully corroborated by both Pool aud
Holden that the infamous Kirk war
was set on loot against tbe people
of North Carolina by the President
ot the United States, the national
Cong"ess and the governor of North
Carolina backed by bis executive
council and all the leading repub-licans
of the State.
Among this latter Judge Thomas
Settle appears to have played a
conspicuous part. He gave material
aid and comfort to the Holden-Kirk
war.
We quote fioui the Sentinel ol
July I5tb, 1870:
About this time Judge Settle, of
our Supreme Court, on hi- way to
West Point, as a visitor, passed
through Washington City, aud call-ed
on president Grant. The recent
death of Stephens furnished him a
text upon which to expatiate upon
the outrages of the kuklux upon
innocent loyal men and women.—
All the crimes occurring in the
State were charged upon the rebels,
the kuklux. This aroused the
President and a ren-ark dropped
from him, which satisfied Settle, he
had bit tbe nail on the head. It
was this: The President wanted
to know why Gov. Holden had not
put himself at the head of au armed
force and gone to the counties
where the outrages were committed,
and suppressed them—that he
(Grant) had examined tbe consti-nition
and laws of North Carolina
and that they gave Holden ample
powers to raise an armed force to
suppress these disorders, and if the
attempt produced insurrection, be,
the- President, would aid him by all
the force of the United States.—
This was what Judge Settle wanted.
He readily commuuicated with
John Pool and Gen. Abbott, who
-aw the game at once. They hasten-ed
to Raleigh and the scheme for
the military defeat aud subjugation
of the Democrats and conservatives
oi North Carolina, was devised.
So hen- we have our military hero
again. Going to visit aud inspect
the cadets at West Point so inspired
bin) with martial ardor that he
must needs stop aud advise the
hero of Appomattox how b> con-duct
military opeiations iu North
Carolina, so as to secure the defeat
of tbe Democracy at tbe tbeu pend-ing
election. And this was Judge
Thomas Settle, the first oue that

But we hardly think the people
want a military governor. They
scarcely long for a return of Kirk.
They will hardly choose for their
chief magistrate one of the fore-most
promoters of the Kirk war. He

Col. M. Fair, of Murphy Cherokee
i county, and President of the Geor-gia
& North Carolina Narrow Gauge
Railroad, passed up the road Tues-day
with fifty convicts from the
State Penitentiary. Gen. J. ('.
Gorman, of Raleigh, was with him
as a supervisor of tbe convicts.—
This force will be put to work im-mediately

"In no other State is the negro

Southern States like South Caro-tins,
the white man has no rights
which the negro is bound to res-pect."
He says, in all tbe Southern

is President of this part of tho

the Georgia Penitentiary at work
on this division, and the work is
beiug pushed forward very rapidly.
About :)0 miles have already been
