states of the south none of j which could assure him a single electoral | vote this fact did not seem to meet j with very general favor from the uorthren i radical and had no doubt much to do ! with his defeat examiner our friend e>f the charlotte democrat generally takes correct views this habit ! is not broken when he calls attention to the nice time the republican speakers ami newspaper will have this summer ami fall in quoting trom the very numer ous democratic newspapers in this state what they have said before the nomina tions agaiust democratic candidates if party organization is to be much pro moted by the manner in which editorial sprouts manage all'airs ixxgent paragraphs.—the following choice extracts from late letters from presi dent haves to gen chester a arthur the republican nominee for the vice-presidency will be read with interest : you have made the custom-house a cen tre of partisan political management.—r b hayes to colleetor arthur january 31 1879 with a deep sense of my obligations un der the constitution 1 regard it as my plain duty to suspend you in order that the ollii-e may be honestly administered r b hayes to collector arthur jan lilst 1879 gross abuses of administration have con tinued and increased during your incum bency."—john sherman to collector arthur jan 31st lyt'j persons have been regularly paid by you who have rendered little or no service the expcnses'of your office have increased while its receipts have diminished bribes or gratuities in the shape of bribes have been received by your suharidinatcs in several branches ofthe custom-house and you have in no ease supported the effort to correct these abuses secretary sherman to col lector arthur jan 31st 1870 greenbackerg ticket gen 11 weaver nominate for president i ami e j champers for vict president chicago iii june ii.—in the green back t invention at 3:25 this morning it ua moved that the convention proceed to ballot for a nominee tor president of the united states an informal ballot was lirst taken the result of which was announced at 4 l(i this morning just as daylight was breaking it stood weaver 2241 ; wright 120.1 ; al lis 41 campbell 21 before the announce ment of the lirst ballot it became evident that weaver had a clear majority and all the delegates hastened to change their votes to that candidate motions sprang from every portion ofthe convention to make the nomination unanimous and just as the sun shone through the eastern windows the re sult was announced as 7is for gen b wea ver—the total vote—and without any mo tion his nomination was made unanimous e j chambers of texas was nominated for vice-president at ii o'clock this morning gen weaver came into the hall apparently fresh after a good night's sleep and accepted the nomi nation tendered him by a sleepless conven tion after passing the usual votes of thanks the convention adjourned sine die the northern republican papers are now animadverting on the purchaseable character of the southern delegates to chicago certainly all the delegates are not included in such a sweeping statement but the sherman men are claiming that the grant delegates have been bought and the giant men arc repeating the charge as to the sherman supporters at any rate both sides agree that the article is purchaseaol'e and in the market the country then has now something before it which readily explains the con dition of that party at the south there is no ueed to go further the reason why the republican party has fallen into dis repute and is odious at the south must now be fully appreciated by themoststal wart radical at the north we here kuow its ii cord so well that the chicago episode passes without elicit ing a comment but the north lias never before been able to realize why the south liassosingular.y repudiated these men who are the lead ers ol tiie republican party at the south 1 hey see it now anil hereafter we hope they will not forget the picture presented at chii'ago which is altogether in keeping with the history of the republican party in the southern suites a party to live must command the respect eif the voting class the difference betweeu tbe two parties at the south has been so pronoun ced in this regard that in the course of time what was the great majority party has been reduced to a h-an minority this phenomenon which has so irritated the north and which has been inexplica ble to the comprehension of tho average noil hern republican is no longer a mys tery the cause is now apparent even to them and so hereafter we may ex pect no great stress to be laid t>n the bloody shirt but that it will be accepted all over the union that the decay and overthrow of radicalism atjthe south was only a necessity but a very natural out come from the facts of the case raleigh observer i ! the democratic county convention of orange held on monday passed resolutions endorsing carr for lieut lenant governor col thos ruffin j for judge ofthe 5th district and gen j y r r cox for congress the real platform of the republi can party was enunciated at chicago not by the hon el wards pierrepont i but by on flanagan of texas it is truthful and brief what are we here for except to get ofiace ?"— new york son j ad hon oliver h dockery was at rockingham during the session of the district convention and it was under stood among the delegates that he would be the republican candidate j for congress this time he can sure ly get the nomination it lie wants it the way the northern republicans have gone back on the old man is a shame here he has been traveling around the world studying the sys tems other countries and when he i merely asked to be the honorable in strument lo put in force the prove lneiits those wicked delegates refus ed to let hjm it is too bad — red observer ami now what will beldnap and the old set do since the general has been so unceremoniously shoved off to a back seat ah republics are un grateful and tiie way they banned out the duke makes the average geiu'iiien of colored descent extreme ly unhappy — raleigh observer the ticket looking at the chicago nomina tion in a practical way wo elo not sec that it can give much comfort to the republicans gen garfield was an actor in the matters that led to hayes inauguration and this will make that fraud a prominent issue in the can vass the people ofthe country will lie called on to sii.-lain the votes i garfield then gave and all ofthe re luming board iniquities or to con demn them by their votes al the pulls they cannot support garfield with out endorsing his course on lliose oc cassions nor is this the only source of weakness which attaches to his name he was we believe mixed up in the credit mobilier fraud and the republicans of the xorlh will have to swallow that piece of rascal ity when they range themselves be neath his banner under these cir cumstances we think it extremely doubtful whether he can carry ohio but if he shall he will have no pecu liar strength in new york jt was doubtless expected thai that state would be carried by putting gen arthur ou the ticket arthur him self has no following he is a mere cypher his strength is cornell's neither more nor less in the late election in new york the combined democratic vote was 453,356 and cornell's vote was 418,507 unless wc shall tlirow away new york by an untimely nomination we will car ry that state over garfield and ar thur by 40,000 majority it is inev itable there can be no question of it we carried it in 1876 by 38,000 and that state is certain to us as against the present republican tiek't nor will garfield have iny accession in any other stale where the demo crats have a majority it is likely that he will be able to unify his par ty in massachusetts and in illinois but these states are so thoroughly republican that we did not hope to gain them unless grant should be the opposing candidate the ticket has no peculiar strength but on the oth er hand we consider that it has about it elements of weakn-v that will in evitably lead to its defeat if we shall make acceptable nominations — red observer a demure diminutive aged 18 is

were married good husbands make good wive and good wives make good husbands ; and the scolding or intem perate ni slatternly partner often has but himself or herself to blame for the misery that clouds the life and deso lates the home multitudes who feel that their marriage was a mistake and who make their existence a life long misery might by little self-de nial and forbearance and old-tinw

independence which i is erroneously supposed by some to have i been adopted and sigued by certain citi zens of said county in convention nsseni | bled on the aforesaid day nnd year of our j lord 1/75 we thought this matter had i been settled long ago in tbe minds of all intelligent and impartial persons who j have taken the pains to carefully examine | the facts bearing on it but it seems that j the people of mecklenburg still insists on j the 20th as the day and the declaration j as a reality while they dud it necessary j to bolster up their credulity by making annual contributions to allay skepticism of their pretensions this fact of itself shows that even they have doubts with respect to the genuineness of the docu ment there is one thing certain north car oliua was ahead of all her sisters ou the subject of independence but none of all the able writers who have discussed the matter have settled without doubt the fact that the so-called mecklenburg dec laration was adopted and signed by cer tain citizius of that county ou the 20th of may 1875 that there was a meeting of citizens ou that day aud in that county is probable that the subject of independ ence was discussed is also probable ; that the aforesaid declaration was there pre | sented and read by some brave spirit is not improbable but that it was adopted aud sigued by the persons who are alleged to have done so has never yet been set tled as a fact and it would brand some of them as perjured knaves and scoundrels if it were established this we do not believe for they were men of sterling character of education of moral tone and prtriotism they were incapable of duplicity and knavery several of the alleged signers took the oath of allegauce to george iii and held office under the crown after this paper is said'to have been signed is it te be believed that a single man who is said to have signed that dec laration would have cowardly recanted and done this base thing ? we would not feel like celebrating a declaration adopt ed and signed by men of such character xo if the so-called declaration was introduced aud read at the meeting on the 20th of may that was all of it it was not adopted or signed bui on the 31st of may ibllowing which was the ad journed meeting of the 20th the brave and patriotic resolutions then adopted in corporated the spirit of the declaration and reflected the matured judgment and patriotic sentiment ofthe noble people of meckldnburg this conclusion is to our mind irresistable it was these resolu tions that the royal governor josiah mar tin denounced in bis proclamation issued from his majesty's sbip-of-war the crui ser , as the most treasonable proceedings that had taken place on the continent these resolutions about which there is no doubt aie worth as much as the declara tion and are equally worthy of the peo ple of mecklenburg every true north carolinian should feel proud of them why not celebrate the 31st and the noble sentiments then uttered by the brave hearts of mecklenburg and stop trying to bolster up and establish a myth at the expense of the honor and courage of the brave spirits who first put the ball in mo tion which rolled on till

mamma yet said the girl i do not want her hi know the painful truth fortunately the twenty fifth anni versary of their marriage was close at hand and the girl arranged a silver wedding to which tbe
