T'he Fruit of the EMIl Sceit Rown In North Carolina--The Black Cloud in the The seed sown by Secretary Bout well and those who have united with hiin in the attempt to excite the pas tions and hatreds of the negroes of North Carolina against the whites begins already to bring forth its legit imate fruit. YestQrday there was a political meeting at Charlotte, in that State, called by the supporters of the democratic ticket and addressed by Senator Schum. In the courso ot the proceeding a bla-ik fringe of angry negroes gathered on the edge of the meeting, and one of the blacks, a no torious republican politician, was heard to utter thr-its of burning and shooting. Ite left apparently to car ry these threats into execution, and soon afterwards an alarm was raised, and it was discovered that a building had been set on fire with the design, it is believed, of destroying the city. The imatter is now undergoing inves tigation. We are not disposed to exaggerate this incident of the campaign. We leave all the embellishments and po litical flourishes to be made over the outrage of republican negroes upon a conservative meeting to the Greeley journals, which will., no doubt, seize the opportunity with avidity. If the black rascals who set fie to the roof of a woocen building really desired to' burn down the city they showed them selves to be bunglers at the work of incendiarism,.just as, by proeliming their intentions they proved tiem selves to be novices in crime. .ut because the ignorance of the negroes made the affair absurd, it is not the less startling as an evidervo of the evils to which the teach ,'ce of JJilt volt and his associates promise to lead. The blacks, with arson and murder in the'r hearts, with their worst ppssiens aroused by the assur anees of their republican teachers that the white citizens of the South will enslave them again or strip them of civil rights whenever they get the opporturity, can readily be moved to any act of violence, and will riot long lack system and leaderbhip-to make their outbreaks efrective. Thcre can be but on ending to the effort to induce these ignorant negro crowds to believe that the whites are their natural and mortal enemiep, and it is foreshadowed in this Charlotte inci dont.

An Extraordinary Story. The Carl invillo correspondent of be St. Louis Democrat relates the ollowing story, the circumstances of rhich, while they are exceedingly ensat~ional, can be vouched for by iersons reiding in that city. One of the most remarkable divorce ases on record has begun, and is to oe tried at the August term of Ma. oupin county Circuit Court. Tlhe arties have lived together for sevou en years known to the world as iusband and wife. The reptited hus >and now files a bill, alleging the o called marringo to have taken laeo in Macoupin county in 1855, nd praying for a divorce on the round that the person to whom he ,as then formerly married is not a oian, although previous to and at he time of said reputed marriage he -its induced to believe the person foresaid tobe a woman. If the alle ations of the bill and outside parties re true, the trial will show the ex raordinary case of two men having ived together for this period of time, a the character of husband and wife, n instance, in other words, in which natural eunuch has been able to per Dinate the female character and as uch to go through the solemn exter al forms of marriago, and then cons inue0 for many years to deceive neigh. ors ; and even intim.to friends as to is real sex. The complaint alleges iat his ignorance of the law? of this auntry (he being a German), and Ae advice of supposed competent at ies, prevented him from filling a ill for release long ago from the bond. ge of this pecudo marriage. As the par les have accumlated considerable roperty, it will be a point of great iterest for the court to decide upon s equitable d ivision, in case of a dis. dlution of the curious co-partnor 11i p. sillu ilr varit'ly of cotton. Dr. T. L. Anderson, of Wilkes ounty, Ga., has developed, by eulti ition aind edreful selection of seed, variety of cotton which is certainly cu'iosity, and may prove a very aluable variety. This cotton is pe. A'iar on account of its excessive fruit ilne.-s ind tie ialiner iu% which the oils ire developed. As described by te Washington Gazette, in growth nd appearance, the weed has the -emliblanuc of the prolific varieties, rowing up in a soiewhat conieal )rm, timnlgh we think the grow th is lore vigorous. than these varieties. I sqatres and blooms grow in clus nrs, and very thick. A very large ropot tion of the bolls are what we 111d call double for want of a better ord ; that is, two balls are produced '0om the s:m e square. This tendon y to douling is exhibited through ut the plant an-) stalk and limbs of aily spccmniens seem to take on the iic characteristic, there being a rove on each side, presenting some. hat the appearance of a double bar elth gun. This crowding of the olls does not seem to diniinish their ize, but they nee generally very large nd healthy in appeirance. Upon no stalk in his field Dr. A exhibits fteen young bolls so closely cluster d as to be covered with a single penl hanid. ie has taken great ains duaring the past two or three ears to preserve tihe seed pure and nmixed with other varieties.

True Happiness. Not long since I met a gentleman who is assessed for more than ta mil. lion. Silver was in his hair, care upon his brow, and lie stooped beneath his burden of wealth. Ve were speaking of the period of life when lie had realized the most perfect enjoy ment, or, rather, when we bad found the happiness nearest to be utnalloy* ed. "I 11 tell you," said the million. aire, "when was the happpiert hour of my life." At the age of one and twenty I had saved up $800. I was earning $500 a year, aid my father did. not take it from me, only requir ing that [ should pay for my board. At the age of twentty-two I had se cured a pretty cottage, just outside of the city. I was able to pay two-thirds of the money down, and also furnish it respectably. I was married on Sunday-a Sunday in June-at my father's house. My wife had come to me poor in purse, but rich in the wealth of her womanhood. The Sab bath and the Sabbath itight we passed beneath my father'srp, and on Mon. day morning I went'to ny work, leav ing my mother and si er to help in preparing my home. Oin M ouday evening, when. the lab qs of the day were done, I went not io the paternal shelter, as in the past, but to my own house-my own home. The holy at mosphere of that hour seems to sur round me even now in the menwory. I opened the door of my cottago and en tered. I laid my hat upon the little stand in the hall, and passed on to the kitchent-our kitchsen and dining room were all in one then. I IousIed open the kitchen door and was--in heaven. The table was set against the wall-the evening meal ready prepared by the hands of her who had come to be my helpmeet in deed as well as in name--and by the table, with 9 throbbing, expectant look4 upon her lovely and loving face, stood my wife. I tried to speak, and could not. I could only clasp the waiting angel to my bosom, thus showing to her the ecstatic burden of my heart. The years have passed long, long ynars-and worldly wealth ha; flowed in upon me, and I an honored and envied ; but as true as heaven-I would give , all-overy dollar-for the joy of the hour of that June evening in the long, long ago !' A Fatal Wrestling Match. Coroner Young held an inquest to day in the case of Edward Dougherty, who died, as alleged, from injuries received on Monday last while wrest. ling with a man naned Daniel Sulli van. It appeared that these two men and several others were in a lager beer saloon, and after drinking two glasses of beer each, all being in good humor, deceased and Sullivan com mencad to wrestle, each taking the other round the body. After strng. gliig for about two minutes, deceas. od was thrown on his back, and do ceased and all the others laughed heartily at his overthrow. Ile goti up without help, and did not complain of being hurt. Sullivan and another man walked with him to his resi. dence. He did not then comninain, but about half an hour afterward he was howling with pain, and died twenty-four hours subsequently. The msed ical testimony showed that death was caused by rupture and inflamnma tioni of the bowels. 'The jury render ed a verdict of death from iujuiries accidentally receive.-N. Y. Even ingf Ecpn-e8. JIuly 22. The Elid of the World Ia 1871. It is predicted by F'rench astrono, mors, as a scientifie fact, that the earth will ease to revolve on its axis ---will come to an end the coiming fall. And strangely enough the learned men of . Italy .predict the end at the same time, differing only in asserting thme destruction will be caused, by fire. The prophiesiers maintain that an inconceivable im mnense subterrainean fire is consuming the bowels of the earth ; and refer to the, recent falling of the earth's sur face naar Vesuvius, and the changed aJpearance o.f tjg matter vomited firom the crater as proof positive of their theory. _ The GeorgIll Corn Crop. We believe, says the Georgia Tele. graph Messenger, a fair crop will beI made after all. Never (lid an appar ently hopeless case come out as the middle Georgia corn crop has dc-I veloped sin the showers. Seven good ears have been made where ona was looked for a month ago. We sawv an ear fifteen inches long and of goodl siza, picked from a slender stalk on sandy land, and everything like a stalk will be found to carry a respec table nubbin. The Crops. The weather during the past week lins been very warm and the crops have been suffering, greatly. W e need a general soaking rain--somle thing similar to the "great floood," of which we have all read .-A bbeville Mledium. The Cincinnati authorities have daused to be oxecuted over 300 dogs bi one day Judge Thoumti. [BY REQUEST.) Judge Thomas in discharging the juries for the term took occasion to mention that it was the last court he should hold in the county ; his term of office being about shortly to expire. In a few feeltog remarks he took leave of the grand jury, and it can be safely said that the announcement was received with universal regret. Judge Thomas has made a great impression upon the hearts of the people of his Circuit during the ~four years of his term of office. Elected by the Radi. cal party, lie has never shown in the Judicial office any political predilec tions whatever, t. very rare virtue in these partisan days. It is for this he has been cast off by the party. Had he shown the bitter seal of a Logan or Turgee (Judges of North Carolina) he would have been unanimously re - elected. When martial law was de termined on at Washington, by the prompt action of Judge Thomas, with the grand jury of York County, the whole move came very near being checkmated. When the story of that transaction is thoroughly ventilated, which it will bo ore long, a very in teresting case of fraudulent inisrepre. sentation will be given to the public and it will be shown moreover that Judge Thomas struggled manfully to the last for the preservation of civil liberty.-Chester Rieportkr. In reply to a set of complimentary resolutions offered by the York Bar upon parting with Judge Thomas, the Judge said : GENTLEMEN OF TIlM YOntvYrLE lAR : I thank you for your compli mentary resolutions. Nearly four years ago I came among you a coni parative stranger, junior to nany of you in the legal profession, and of a lifferent political principle, yet I LEnve never known anything from you 3xcept the kindest consideration, and tie most courteous attention. Our intercourse has been so pleasant, I eave you with regret. While this is ;o, my term of office has not past vithout having to encounter a series of iymoons, whichi made shipwreck of my yarcer. First cane the organization known as the Ku Klux, against whom >ur court was imnpotent. You will all bear we out that I did my part, as a ludge, in the Court House, and as a ,itizen in private communications, to suppress the outrages. But neglected by the State govQrnmunt, though I, ind your 8heriff had called for aessis bance from them, our efforts were uria Vailing. In this emergency the Uinited States troops arrived upon the stage of action. But instead of their up holding the law under misrepresenta tion of recent ouirages being com mitted after the Investigation Com mittee were here) and under the illib eral denunciation that every white man was a Ku Klux, they rode down the law, organived a military can paign against a peaceable, and do fenceless people, and turned this tem ple of Justice into a farce. I tried to restrain it, holding that the milita ry was subordinate to the civil an thority, and that the State Court should have jurisdiction over the troubles in the county. For this ac-. tion of mine, the same military by an unjustifiable interference with the Legislature, succeeded in making me the first martyr, to those principles which I conscientiously held, and which now rises in the North as the polar star, for the emancipation of the white man of Carolina. WVhile therefore I regret to part with you because of our pleasant inter course ;my regret ceases when I see the cause of our parting, like aid Angel Spirit tapping upon every Northern heart and pleading for jus tice, reconciliation, peace, and the constitution. If then, in after days, in recalling the memories of the present, I solitary anid alone d uring the storm, can be indentitled in your minds in aught with this Angelic Spi'it, my r egret will turn to joy, and my retirement result in a great victo ry. Fo'r my own shortao'nings I ask your forgiveness. Collectively and Individually, you have my kindest regards-I bid you good bye. WV. D.

A MEMBER OF TlHE LEGISLATURE LEADS THB nBOTERs-ATTEDIPTS TO BURN TilE TOWN-DISORGANIZATION OF THill- FIRE DEPARTmENT. The Georgetown Times describes a disgraceful riot in that town. Ou Friday night, some scoundrel tried to set fire to the place with a turpentine barrel, but failed. On Saturday a tar barrel was fired near George Holland's house. This was put out without the aid of the fire companies, which were promptly on the ground. They were dismissed by the chief of the fire department, and ordered by him to their quarters. The Heston Company did not obey the orders of the chief, but went about the town, stopping where liquor could be had, and imnbibing very freely. The re sult was, that night was made hide ous by the drunken screams of an in toxioated mob, wbose foul, obscene and r-bald language would have dis graced the neighborhood of the Tombs. Shortly after they had repnired to the house of Ion. V. II. Jones, Jr., nominally the second, but really the first officer in command of the como pany, the cry of fire was raised almost simultaneously in a dozen different parts of the town, and one of, its members was found rushing to the market to ring the alarm bell. We leave the public to conjecture who were the guilty parties who set fire to the schoolhouse of Mrs. Small, which was the building on fire. The alarm called together the Heston, the Star and the Salamander Hook and Ladder Companies. It seems that there is some bad blood between the two first niamed companies, and the scene presented at one o'clock on Sunday morning last at the place of fire would seem to justify the be'ief that there was not only bad blood 'etween the companies, but an utter disre gard of the interests of the communi ty. Instead of employing themselves in putting out the fire, the two com panics amused themselves in a free fight, in which one was badly beaten, another stabbed, and others bruised. In this time, Representative Jones, a magistrate sworn to keep the peace, instead of using his influence and ex ercisiug the powers which the law conferred on him, was the most con spicuous figure in the group, with ocat off and revolver in hand, encouraging in coarse, vulgar and indecent lan guage, a contiuued violation of Iaw and good order. Liabililies of Pdlers. A fine of not less than one hundred dollars orimprisonment for not less than six months nor more than one year, or both, at the discretion of the court, are imposed by the act of June 6, 1872, on conviction, upon a pedler who shall have committed either of the following offenses, vim : 1. Who shall be found peddling tobacco, snuff or cigars without having given the bond, or without having previously obtained the collector's certificate. 2. Who shall break original packages and retail therefrom, or sell tobacco, snuff, or cigars otherwise than in criginal and full packages, as put up by the manufacturer. 3. Who shall have in his possession any internal revenue stamp or stamps which have been removed from aiiy box or other package of tobacco, snuff, or cigars. 4. Who shall have in his poesession any empty or partially emptied box or other package which has been used for tobacer, snuffs, or cigars, the stamp or stamps on which have not been destroyed. 5. Or whio shall fail to have fixed to his wagon, in a conspicuous place, a sign with his name painted in full, his business and his collection dis trict. Uolng to Sca in a Balloon. Professor King and L. L. Ilolden, an attache of the Boston Journal, maade a successful balloon ascension Saturday. The balloon rose slowly inte the heavens and disappeared from the sight of those who were watching it from the Common in about twenty minutes. It floated off at about the rate of fifteen miles perP hour only. A bout the miles south west of Scituato a descent was made in an open field, where the excursionists remained some teni minutes and unloaded their bag gage. They then went up again and went out to sea, where they were taken in tow by a yacht and landed on shore. Trhey arrived back in Boston Sunday noon, in good condition. *The Death Roll. The number of deaths in New York during the pist week was 791, a decrease of 127. In Philadelphia the number of deaths was 530, a de crease of 69, only four deaths from small-pox occurring. These reports show a marked improvement in the public health in these cities. It is p roper, to state, however, that there hash beon a slight revival of small-pox in New York, fourteen oases having occurred during the week, of which eleven died, being five mnore than for the previous week.--Ba/t.
