THE FORM OF VOTING.
Although the election for delegates to the Con
.. vcntionwill have taken place before this paper is
generally circulated throughout the District, -we
deem it important to state that the commandiug
General has decided that only the votes endorsed
?'For" or "Against a Convention" will be counted.
Tho law has heretofore been fairly stated in these
columns, and there is nothing therein contained to
warrant the construction now. made.
? The editor of the Wilmington (N. C.) Journal ad
* dressed a.note to Lieut.^ Caziabc, asking informa?
tion respecting the-right of a voter to cast a ballot
- ?-' simply for delegates, without any endorsement, and
; that official, replied '-that the Acts of Reconstruc
* ifion leave no discretion as to the subject. Only
} "those votes for delegates wbteh conform to the Acts.
? -of.Congress By Being inscribed either "for a Con?
vention,"' or "against a Convention," can be count
. ed in the canvass of votes."
This settles the question distinctly,'and proves
- that the milifary authorities are determined to al
. low no opportunity of defeating the Radical scheme
? " of reconstruction, "he whites of North Carolina
can, therefore, defeat this measure only by keeping
*."jiway.from the polls altogether, while there is no
possible.chance to prevent its success in this State,

HOMICIDE IN SUMTER.
The Sututer Watchman gives the following par?
ticulars of an unfortunate affair which occurred
':. on Thursday last:
"A difficulty some time since existing between
'. the parties, the details of which we will not touch
upon, But leave to judicial investigation, led to the
? appalling event of which we write. About mid
i day,.on Monday last, Mr. Hodge arrived at Sum
" ter, and stepped from his- buggy, which he had
' stopped en the Main-street, nearly in front of the
-N?curt House. He went into one or two adjacent
stores,-where be remained for a moment or two,
and returned to the side walk near where his bug?
gy was, and talked with persons, apparently free
from excitement. Seeing Mr. Dura in. on the oppo
- site side of the Btreet, walking with a gentleman,
he went to his. buggy, took therefrom a double
barrelled gun, and advanced in the diretion Mr.
Buraui was going, and when within* about eight
paces of him, fired, the whole load taking effect be
' low tbe left shoulder and and near he left side.?
The unfortunate man staggered, and turning in
.the direction ?f his foe, receive -the second shot,
"-which shattered his arm near the wri?t, and im
" mediately fell and died. The gun was loaded with
Buck and turkey shot.
- Mr. Hodge proceeded immediately into the
- ??t;rt Honst-, and the .surrendered himself and was
committed to prison.
RECOVERRY OF STOLEN VALUABLES.
The Torkville Enquirer contains the following
account of a robbery and its singular discovery :
la the Spring of 1R65, whilo tbe families of Gen.
Wade-Hampton and Gen. John S. Preston, were
i "refugees in this town, a large port ion of the family
plate and jewels were concealed in a retired spot,
near the village, toproteot-them from Sherman's
"bummers.". The "bummers" did not come as
was expected; but the concealed valuables were
stolen from their hidingplace, and until a few days
ago, did the most vigilant searches avail anything
towards a discovery of-their whereabouts. ?
On Saturday last, Gen. nampton rcceiveda tele?
gram from -Knoxvilfev Tennessee, announcing the
arrest of one Robert McLaiu, with some of the lost
valuables in his possession ; and also a statement
from 'McLain, where the remainder might be found.
On Tuesday evening a haul was made upon the
remaining articles, which were concealed in the
house of a brother, Alpheus.McLain, about three
miles from this place. This property is of a very
valuable character, comprising jewels and plate,
that have an untold value to the owners as family
, hefr-looms. The actual value of the articles re?
covered in Knoxville and here, is probably about
fiVe or six thousand dollars. Very few of the ar?
ticles are yet missing, and these of small value.
. McLain will probably be returned to this place
for' trial. He statss that he found the box con?
taining, the valuables, while out hunting, a few
days after- it was hidden ; and having once appro ?
printed it, he could not command courage enough
to return it to its lowful owners. Very likely !

LOCAL AND STATE NEWS.
A Midntgut Scene.?A few nights since
we overtook "a stronger in the city," in that very
peculiar position winch has been described as
striving "to walk both sides of the street at once."*
We followed not in his "wake," for that -was too
serpentine for oar.use, but within hailing distance,
and a nearer approach confirms our first impres?
sions, thai he was under a "press of sail," with a
deep load of brick under his hat, and a cargo of
something comfortable, perhaps "Plantation Bit?
ters," under "hatches." He slowly, but not stead?
ily, :iade headway up the street, until he-was
brought up "all standing" by a corner post, in the
vicir.ity of the public square. His figure head was
but slightly damaged, yet, though the night was
pilch dark, the concussion must have made him
aco "stars," though he couldn't see the post, with?
in two feet of him. Taking off his hat, smoothiug
down his os frontis, and after rubbing, for a few
seconds, the rising bump of combativeness, so sud?
denly?but not phrenologically?developed on his
crauium. he addressed his supposed vis-a-vis in a
tone balf-complainingly and half interrogatively :
"May I ask, sir, the re-re-ason of this very rude
inter-ter-ruption. S-ir, I am a pc-pe-ceable citizen,
and s-ir, I pro-test against this un-pro-voked as?
sault, (a pause,) I demand your business with me,
and an ap-ap-pology for your rudeness, (hie, hie,
and another pause.) Perhaps you take me for a
frecdroan, but-but-you were never more mis-taken
iu your life. Havn't that mach good luck. I'm
only a white mau, one of the poor white trash, dis
dis-franchised, and at liberty to go to the d?1 my
own way, or any way that's con-ve-nient, without
having a B-b-ureau to look after me, (hie !) Why
do you obstruct my pro-pro-grcss, sir??though
I've lost all my legal rights, surely I've the re-re?
served right to go home. Why don't you speak ?
I demand a ca-tegorial answer, (a pause.) "It's
devilish odd that you won't answer a civil question
in a civil manner?perhaps you want to fight?if,
if so, I'me the boy to ac-ac-co-modateyou"?throw?
ing down his hat aud making a fruitless effort to
get[offh is coat. Seeing his belligerent posture, we
stepped up and explained his mistake. "Well, its
funny I should make such a mistake in my sober
senses. Why, any-body would think I was drink?
ing?but won't you take something friend, neigh?
bor?a little anti-fogmaUic, hun-ki-do-ra, just to
keep out the night air ?" We thankfully declined,
and he pushed ahead on his "winding way."
Absent.?Tho editor has absented him?
self from the sanctum for a few days, and bigs
pardon for any short comings in his department.
Selling Out.?An Advertisement else?
where in our columns to-day announces that the
popular firm of J. E. Hakpeb & Co. are selling off
their entire stock at cost. This is a rare chance-to
secure bargains, and tho farmers will be compensa?
ted thereby, even at the present low price of cot?
ton.
Too Late.?Tho noto of Mr. John P.
Sitton, declining the nomination for tbe Conven?
tion, was received too late for our last issue, and
as the election will be over to-day, we merely men?
tion the fact, injustice to our friend.
Appointed.?We are reqnested to state

Conundrum.?Here is a specimen float?
ing around that is worthy of the serious, solemn
and profound consideration of every man among

Jj over the knuckles with the following :
Why is a newspaper like a tooth brush I Be?
cause everybody should have one of his own, and
n?t borrow his neighbor's.
Never Invited.?There is a vast deal
of sound philosophy rmd practical sense contained
in tbe annexed paragraph from the Newberry Ifer
I aid, and we arc confident that (hero are hundreds
of customers awaiting invitations in this latitude.
Moreover, there is something complimentary in
having the invitation repeated every now and I hen,
and unless this important item is carefully attend
I cd to, men arc apt to conclude that the merchant
I is saiisfied with their first visit. How many are
neglecting to repeat their invitations:
"Why don't you trade with me ?" said a trades?
man to a friend from the sountry, the other day.
The reply was characteristic: "You have never in?
vited me, sir. I huvc looked all through the Her?
ald for an invitation in tho shape of an advertise?
ment, and found none. I never go where I am not
invited."
Bailey's Varieties^-TIus popular
Company gave two of their entertainments at this
place on Monday and Tuesday eveningsr We can?
not say much in the way of commendation of the
Bailey's as the press everywhere havo given them
flattering notices ; but we cannot refrain from say?
ing that Jthey are indefatigable and "study to
please." They do, indeed, give a variety, aud that
which is good. Wo recommend Mr. Bailey and his
troupe generally to everybody. He is worthy of
public patronage, having lost all as we did during
Confederate times, he is now trying to resuscitate
bis pocket a little. You who belong to the fun
going, should see to-it, that "old gentleman" Bai?
ley reaps a nhave of your loose currency.

? Mr. Brown and Mr. Pruitfc, both of Waco,
Texas, meeting casually on thehighway, proceeded
to perforate one another. Mr. Brown died forth?
with; Mr. Pruitt died three days afterwards. The
cause of this thusness was, that Mr. Brown and
Mr. Pruitt both loved Miss St. Clair, and took this
Texan method to recoacilo their pretensions.
THE PERIL NOT YET OVER.
Tho recent elections have been significant of a
marked reaction in the public mind, though lead?
ing Radical organs assert that the large vote un
polled from their rankB remained at home in order
to rebuke their leaders for not going to extreme
measures"." That there was a large vote unpolled
in Pennsylvania, and some of the States which
held their elections last Tuesday, is undoubted,
but to which party they belong, the future only
can determine, We hope for a more marked and
decisive victory for the Democratic party in 1868.
But as a candid journalist our readers should re?
ceive full information of the obstacles which may
l*o in our path.
The Radical leaders have asserted their inten?
tions to retain power at any hazard. They claim
to have secured the permanence of the Union by
their unflinching determination in the darkest
hours of the struggle. Their reward is to be the
full lease of power over this country for an un?
limited period, with full control over the legisla?
tion, the dispensation of its offices, and the pock?
eting of the plunder, which this faction has so un
blushingly and corruptly dispensed to its partisans.
The warning was given out by Forney that the de?
feat of the Radicals would again deluge the coun?
try in blood. The passions of men are the same
in all ages, and no instance can be found where
any faction has willingly snrrendered power.
To what desperate means these dark conspira?
tors may resort to subvert the Constitution of the
country none can say. They have placed the free
whites, with all their intellect, t heir bravery, their
education and refinement under the control of the
half savage and illiterate negroes in ten States of
the Union. They have outraged every law of de?
cency or justice, and what may we not expect?
Reports already come that the negroes of the
South are thoroughly armed and contemplate the
massacre of our Southern brethren. The North?
ern Radicals look on with complacency, and thou?
sands of them hate Southern men to such an ex?
tent that they would even extend assistance to re
enact the horrors of the West India Islands. The
unanimity with which the negroes have been mar?
shalled by the " Leagues," and led to the polls,
shows what organization has been effected, whilst
in the North the Grand Army of the Republic has
been swelling its ranks as coadjutors of the South?
ern phalanx.
We are not alarmists; but who, in reflecting on
wha1; the past six years has brought forth can sin?
cerely say that the future is not fraught with ter?
rible scenes ? Is the President a man of unflinch?
ing nerve ? Will he resist the'efforts of the con?
spirators when they seek to strike down the Con?
stitution by thrust ing him aside, and has he the ne?
cessary means of resistance? These are questions
which may be solved i n a few short weeks. So far
as the leaders in Congress are concerned we see no
backing down. They seem to get more desperate
at each successive defeat, and the meeting of Con?
gress may bo the signal for renewed agitation, in?
flaming the passions of the people, resulting in
God knows what.
The association with Gen. Grant by such men as
Logan and Washbume, and his endorsement by
Forney, is a sufficient indication thnt he is willing
to stand by the most Radical measures that can be
proposed. We do not regard Gen. Grant's name
as omnipotent, nor, in a struggle inaugurated by
Congress, would the tinny be of much avail. At
the outside the total forces of the United States,
now in the Atlantic Skates, do not exceed twenty
five thousand men. These have their own views
and would take sides with whichever party they
coincided with. A great civil war, precipitated
by Congress in tho mad attempt to destroy the
Constitution and to erect an oligarchical despo?
tism, would utterly ruin a country now oppressed
wit h tremendous burdens. After a deluge of blood
the exhausted people would perhaps seek refuge,
in small fragments, under military lenders, from a
. recurrence o f similar horrors, establishing a dozen
monarchies in place of this great and glorious re?
public.
Tho late elections are cucournging, because the
moral effect may work upon the minds of some of
the men who are now mad. They may be the
forerunners of similar action in other States. As
ye' ther eis not a majority for the Democratic par?
ty in the country without counting in the votes of
the Southern States. The radicals know this, nud
therefore it is idle to anticipate any relaxation of
their unscrupulous attempts to bring those black
electors to secure the election of a Radical Presi?
dent. Looking over Ihe entire field, and giving
every vote which the Democrats have secured, or
that may be doubtful, we find that New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iudiana, New Jersey, Connec?
ticut, Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, California,
Oregon and Minnesota gave 130 votes. When all
the Southern States cast their votes it will require
154 to elect, and, therefore, the black governments
of the South are the pivofs upon which Radical
success depends. The Radical Congress is the su?
preme arbiter upon the ballots which may be given
for President. Can wc doubt how it would decide
in case of any close contest, if an illegality or tre?
mendous fraud should become necessary to secure
their party's success ?
We have every cause for rejoicing in the
strength now evinced by the Democratic party, but
the nation is not yet preserved. New struggles
await us, new trials to endure : but in our iniws
vtablc courage and faith we doubt not thai we shnll
overcome them. Either with the attempt to ille?
gally remove the President in order to grasp the
reins of power, or to fraudulently declare the Rad?
ical candidate elected in 1868. Tho crisis may
conic. We do not blink this result. We would not
do our duty if we should assent that great danger
did not exist in the future. In 1860 it was too
common to pooh! pooh I the possibility of a war.
The- inflammable material is just as great to-day.
Wc earnestly hope that all our fears may be dash?
ed down by the dnwning reason of the masses.
But with a conflict of races looming up in tho
South, with an equally horrible strife imminent in
tho North, we ca-u only urge Kentucky to be pre?
pared for the result, and to throw her weight in
the scale of the Constitution, the Union, and the
supremacy of the white race.?Louisville Courier.
? It fs nearly accurately ascertained that the
United States are in treaty for two Islands of the
West Indies, viz: St. Thomas and St. John, at a
price estimated at from $4,000,000 to $6,000,000
in gold. The transfer of the islands to this coun?
try is dependent upon the consent of the people of
the islands, aud the question is to be presented to
them during the present month. It is thought
that a majority of them wiil consent.
The Southern Recorder has information from a
gentleman just returned from a trip through South?
western Georgia, that in his extensive travel
through it, be did not meet with the first planter
who expected to make his ends meet in his plant?
ing operations this year. All were despondent at
the low price cotton commanded. No calculations
were made for future operations, and it was thought
the blacks would suffer for the want of employ?
ment another year.
? The Egyptian Corn, so extensively adver?
tised of late, is a humbug.
THE GRAST) LESSON OF THE LATE ELECTIONS,
We read some time since, of the taking of an
enormous crocodile in one of the Philipine Islandst
where these creatures destroy both man and bco9t.
This monster, had at different times taken two
young women of the village, who had gone to
bathe in the adjacent lake. Iis last enterprise,
was to attack a horse which a boy rode to water in
the lake. The horse affrighted, threw the boy:
and the crocodile destroyed him. The villagers
determined to destroy it; and having at last cap?
tured and killed it as they thought, they put it in?
to a large boat to carry it in triumph to the vil?
lage. The monster, suddenly seemed to awake to
life. It crunched in the side of the boat, with its
enormous jaws, and knocked with its tail, three
men overboard.
The Radical party, is our captured crocodile.
With its teeth and tail, it will do all the mischief
it can : but it is in tlie boat, harpooned first by
Connecticut,?then by California,?then by Ohio
and Pennsylvania, and thcu by New York, New
Jersey and Maryland. It is in the boat, with its
foul, fetid, bloody, loathsome carcase, bleeding to
death.
If the people of the United States, are capable
of learning the grand lesson taught by the last tea
years, it may be worth to the world, all the conten?
tion, blood and treasure it has produced. That
lesson is this?the vital importance of faithfulness
in the governments of the world. Faithfulness,
is confidence and peace. Faithfulness is conten?
tion and war. Free governments arc based on
fail' ?^serving its limitations and provisions.
Every contest between the North and the South,
disturbing the peace of the Union, has originated
from but one cause,?the usurpation, by the peo?
ple of the North, of power not granted by the
constitution.
It is very true, that the Constitution of the Uni?
ted States admits of different interpretations. But
this is inevitable in all written constitutions. The
wit of man, cannot frame a constilution, which
cannot-be perverted by the subtle inventions of
human reason. Whether the perversions, are the
result of faithfulness, or the errors of an honest
but feeble reason, must be determined by the ends
sought to be obtained. If these ends minister to
the interest or the aggrandizement of the parly
extending the powers of the constitution beyond
its plainly expressed grants, we must infer that
they arc the result of faithlessness. .
This is exactly the case with all the usurpations
of the consolidation's, on the Constitution of th
United States. Every one of them, ministered to
the enrichment or aggrandizement of the Northern
States. Their assumption of the debts of the
States after tho revolution of 1776,?their United
States Banks,?their prohibitory tariffs,?their ap
propriations for internal improvements,?the war
tself, and ever}' measure since the war?all look
to the promotion of the interests or the aggrand?
izement aud power of the Northern States.
But we are hardly left to inference, as to the
course of these usurpations, in their baleful pro?
gress. The Northern Radicals, accustomed to dis?
regard and put aside the Constitution of the Uni?
ted States, on all occasions, their interests or ag?
grandizement required,?at length put it aside al?
together, by the open avowal of their higher-law
doctrines. As is usual with all usurpers, they
tried to cover ihe iniquity of their faithlessness, by
a principle. They set up their moral right to dis?
obey or overrule the Constitution of the United
S'ntcs, whenever its requirements did not accord
with their judgments of expediency or right. At
length, however, even this hypocrisy is abandon?
ed ; and it is now broadly proclaimed by the par?
ty in power, that the Constitution of the United
States is abolished ; and exists only in tlie will of
a majority in Congress. This result, proves the
faithlessness of all their previous deductions of
powers from the constitution. They were all
usurpations.
And now?will the terrible awd ruined condition
of the country, which faithlessness '.o the constitu?
tion has produced, leach the mighty lesson, that
hereafter the constitution must be faithfully ob?
served ? Will it rebuke and put down consolida?
tion forever ? Will it lead to a repudiation and
repeal of all the acts of usurpation, which stand
forth, on our statute books?the Moody sentinels
of the hideous despotism they have created over
the land? Will the great parly now rising into
pjwer, by the downfall of the consolidation Jaco?
bins, turn buck to that ancient administration of
the Constitution and Government of the United
States, which gave us all the liberty and renown,
which foreign utitiuVf beholding, longed for, and
sighed for? If this shall be ihe result of the
terrible sufferings we have endured, and lire still
groauiug under?the world will be blessed with
the mighty consummation of the renewed liberty
and lite, the United Slates will produce. Purified
by trial anil despotism, n higher and more endu?
ring destiny rooy be ours. Free government will
no longer be a bitter mockery, amongst the na?
tions of the world, as exemplified by erorshaureless
tyrannies; and the despots of Europe shall no
longer rejoice in our identification with their hoa?
ry absolutism, dominating over the depressed and
crushed liberties of the people. The Constitution,
now overthrown and trampled under foot, will
again be enthroned in the hearts of the people;
and the Union it was intended to establish, be
ngain sacred in its benificent operations. But if
the broad road of consolidation, "which Ieadeth tt>
destruction," is followed, instead of the narrow
path of faith, "which leaded] unto life,"?then
"farewell, a long farewell to all our greatness I"
The last chance of saving free government on this
continent, and perhaps in Ihe world, will be lost,
and lost forever.? L'has. Mercury.
