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.

A Sample of the Manner* of the Gu-bernatorial Candidate Who, Drunk on the Stump, Denounces His Dem ocratic Hearers as "Ku Klu.r Scoundrel* and Infernal Fiends of FlelW CAROLINIAN'S, IS THIS A FIT MAN" TO CONTROL TIIF. DF.STINIKS OF OUR OR AND COMMON-WEALTH * 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.

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 are the tickets, arranged ac-cording 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 Ticket.—"Adoption." Ueury Wattersou says : "Hayes is merely a brass pin in the rullleof the bloody shirt." f^" "This is a WhtteMan's Gov-ernment, made by White Men for Whiti Men and their posterity for-ererT— Stephen A. Doiujlas, Sr. 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. ed A Colored Dea:3j«a-i. At the regular la&oting of the Tilden and Hendricks Club, of the Fifteenth ward, last evening, of which Col. Merriman is president, Mr. Charles F. Taylor, a colored man of Rochester, N.

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 nl.,i.cl ont when the .judiciary wa3 so completely and ingloriously ex-hausted during the lemonade sea-son of 1870. Aud this is the same Thomas Set- Being a man of much "military ri- T*f'. nown as well as learned in the law, £B£lzed the f*5tAhat th? eecUoa f he could doubtless devastate the a, SFnSZSl the ffrelectl#n °f State after the most approved style ^?f Dt' , The Demot-ats r. of the Sherman school of tactics- ^'"ends to**gm*d men 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 who as a judge was so exhausted than either tbe Repablioans or the leaders of their own race, such as H. H. Garnett, Fred. Douglass, Howard, &c, who at the same time that they encouraged all other col-ored men to put their earnings in the Freeman's Bank, had them that he could not afford tbe people ! ^L?°r,itbdrawn their money from the protection of the law which the : .^ rotten «>ncern—A- * lltrM great writ of right guarantees to every people who speak the Eng-lish language is not qnite the per-son to entrust with those high du-ties and responsibilities with which the position of governor invests him. CIVIL RIGHTS. Carpet-Baggers and Negro Officials ■28th. i The Georgia and North Caro-lina Railroad. 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 on the above mentionned road between Murphy and the Georgia line a distance of 12 miles: Brou-nlows Indictment of the South-ern Republican Party. In a letter to Rev. Dr. Bartlett, President of the Maryville College, \ The part of this road lying in the in reference to the civil rights bill, State ol Georgia is chartered under then pending in the United States I 'he name of Marietta and North Senate, published iu June, 1874, | Georgia Railroad. The South wee- Senator Brownlow aays: "In no other State is the negro deprived of full and equal protec-tion beyond the law ; but in sever-al 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 States tbe negro has equal facilities for education with the white race, at the public expense, though he tern terminus of this road is at Marietta, 88 miles from tbe North Carolina line. Gen. Wm. Phillips is President of this part of tho road. There are '2M convicts from the Georgia Penitentiary at work on this division, and the work is beiug pushed forward very rapidly. About :)0 miles have already been graded, 23 miles at the Marietta end and 7 miles at the North Caro lina line. All the Northern part of does not pay one tenth of one per i Georgia is looking forward with cent, on the dollar ot the taxes which are collected to support the schools. Again, he says: "The iniquitous hill (civil rights) does not atlect Davis Tooms, and the leaders of the South.

Raise High the Banner.
[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|
Hut fight the Btorm, to duty strip
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.
