UOI^BX?; s. ?; Wednesday Mor nine:, August 30,1871. Tho vote in North Carolina on the question of a convention was tho heavi? est ODO ever cast in that State, and will foot up nearly 180,000. The majority against the convention' will be about 5,000. Eighty-three Counties give a majority of 10,231, but tho remaining seven will probably reduce this one-half. One objoob in calling the convention was to efieot some arrangement with the holders of the enormous State debt which the Radical rulers had contracted, and which tho revenues of tho Statu are inadeqnato to meet. Buttha convention ia defeated, the people of North Carolina being deterred from roting for it by the thront of Federal disfavor, and they must hoar tho bardens imposed by usurpers until they eau be romoved in some other manner. THE FAIIIJ ELECTIONS.-Elections will bo hold during the fall months in eighteen States and two Territories.

In these States conventions have not been held for nominating candidates, &c, except by the Demoorats, who havo nomiuated Mr/ Whyte for Governor, &o. Fraudulent olaims to recover tho back pay and pensions of United States sol? diers have, it is reported, recently aome before tho Auditing Bureau of the Trea? sury Department in large numbers, the frequent convictions of the agents en? gaged in thia business having little effect in putting a stop to the operations of others. Through information obtained from the employees of the Government, it is stated that dishonest agents are occasionally enabled to obtain the pay? ment of fraudulent claims. A plan,for au extensive scheme to defraud the United States, in winch a large number of persons are involved, has, it is report? ed, boen recently discovered. The claims of colored soldiers in the Southern States aro those which are principally made the means of illegally drawing money from the Treasury. Helmbold, it seems, is insane. The Long Branch News, of tho 22d instant, says: "It is the opinion of physicians who have examined Dr. Helmbold thut he is laboring under a temporary de? rangement? of mind, occasioned by his business difficulties, und that the state? ment that the unfortunate affair of yes? terday morning was tho result of exces? sive drinking is incorroot, as to tho im? mediate causo. A professional examina? tion was made yestorday by Dr. T. G. Chattle, in the presence of Judge- Guild, of Newark, aha Mr. Matsell, of Now York, who aoteduas.Dr. Ho! m bolds legal advisers in the 'oase, which resulted in recommending his sojourn iu the asylum of Dr. Kirkbride, at Philadelphia." -1-*-?-. THE NEW TACTICS ou TUE REPunT.i 8ANS.-The most amusing farce in the Ohio campaign is the tour of several officials, who, fresh from the daily wit? ness of the operations bf tho most cor? rupt Federal administration which has enjoyed power in this country, are en? deavoring' to blind the eyes of tho people of that State to tho Republican swindles at Washington, by giving highly colored fancy sketches of what they call tho cor? ruption? of the municipal government of New York. Nothing oan compare in amount, enormity and turpitude with the extravagance, bribery and plunder? ing that have characterized the adminis? tration of Federal affairs in all depart? ments at Washington, under Grant's ad? ministration, . .'NEono."-An exchange says: "We often hear of colored men, but very rarely do we hear anything of negro men. From n mistaken delicacy, or from ignorance as to its trna meaning, the word is .falling into disuse. This would-be euphemism; if properly con? sidered, is an insult to tho race The word negro is Spanish, and menus black. It is descriptive, and not a word of re? proach. When, therefore, we speak of a negro man, wo only moan to say that he is a black man, and it carries with it no more of insult than does the word white when applied to white men."

A man named Patrick Burns was some time ago convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hung, but the Governor of Missouri commuted his punishment to imprisonment in the pen? itentiary for. ten years.,. Burns is in doubt whether to accept the Governor's grace or not. Hanging is soon over; ten years in prison is a long time. Ou tho whole, his preferences are for the gibbet; but, not wishing to decido the question hastily, and having been accus? tomed of late to roly bn legal advico, ho has consulted his lawyer, and will be guided by tbut individual in making up bis mind. Feeling strongly inclined to bo swung up, Burna was solicitous to know if any legal obstacles stood in his way, in couBuquenco of the Governor's action. He applied to Judge Prim, of the court which sentoncod him, and was gratitiod to learn from that functionary that the option-ropo or prison-rested with tho prisoner exclusively. A par? don, or commutation, was in tho nuture of a dead addressed to the convict, said the judge, which he has a right to ac? cept or reject. If Burns preferred hang? ing, tho j inigo would accommodate him. POISON AFTER DEATH.-Tho New York Post, commenting on tho acquittal of Mrs. Colborn in Ohio, pertinently says: "It looks as if the poison was injeoted into the body of Mr. Bullen burg at some time after death, a theory wbioh re?oives some confirmation from tho character of the prosecutors and the method they pursued in bringing their notion, lt would bo some satisfaction to have this matter cleared up; and if it is found that poison can bo introduced into dead bodies in such a way as to give them the appearance of having died of poison, careful experiments should ho made, and tests decided upon, BO that hereafter people may be saved from the shame and injustice of malicious oriminal pro? secutions."

J TO* Y?B*M> TO THE PliESSUllB- OF THE COMINO SHOOT CHOP.-The New York Financial and Commercial Chronicle, ot Saturday, in its weekly reviow of the cotton market, says: .The' market the poatfjwoek has, not "withstdnding the smull business done, taken another upward turn in response to the inoreuBod sates and higher pri?es at Liverpool^ which.appear to havo been' iuduced by the reports in regard to the crop Bout from this aide. The Asso? ciated Press have telegraphed over tho country that caterpillars aro destroying the cotton plant, and this stat?chent, together with the fuot that .tho ruins of lato have been frequeut and excessive iu some sections having been telegraphed to Liverpool, formed the basia of the riso in prioes. Gousnmptiou in Europa and this country is, iu fact, so large at present that the markut is very sensitivo to tho least udvorao rumor of the kind referred to. We learn this week that late returns iudicato that our Northern mills are now oousuming fully 19,000 bales per week, nnd so long us this is the case, and Lirorpool disposes of 70,000 halos per week for consumption oud export as during the past week, wo cannot be sur? prised at the effect of reports which ututo that the supply from this country is to bo very materially curtailed. Fortu? nately, th CH o newspaper reports of de? struction from the caterpillars are at least prematuro, and this oonviobion hus shown its influence in our market to-day by a declino of )yO. from tho highest prices of yesterday, uud tho olose to-day was quiet at the decline, the total sales for tho- day reaching ouly 883 bales. Holders are becoming rather moro timid of- late, aud generally the offerings have been abundant ut thc current rate. This timidity urises from tho near approach of the period when the uew crop will be? gin to.bo scut forward, aud tho fem* that tho improvement, in prices will leud plantera to market their colton early and freely, aud thus prices bo forced dOwn below their present level. Fur forward delivery, there has been a very active movement, with wider fluctua? tions in prices, than for spot cotton, but nt . the uloso the rates show only about the same improvement. THE GALE AT GEQBOETQWN-PROBABLE DAMAGE.TO THE BICE CHOP IN TIIAT VICI? NITY.-Tho Georgetown (S. G.) Times, of Thursday, thu 24th inst., says: From last Thursday night up to Tues? day there has been a storm of wind nnd rain of more or loss violence. Floods of rain fell, but so low were our rivers, and so parched was the earth, that wo believe no dumage has resulted from the fall of water.. Tho continued gale of wind has, wo fear, done serious injury to the May and Juno rice, which.is in blossom, as well as to that which is ready for tho hook. The effect on tho first will be to make any quantity.of light rice; and on tho second, and particularly that of vig? orous growth, to blow it down, and so tangle it as to cause considerable loss by waste in the harvest. Previous to the storm, all the lower plantations were suf? fering from tho salt water, which was making serious iuroads upon them. Thou comes the gale, which must do se? rious damage to the crops, both high up and low down tho rivers. While tho rain hus saved many of the crops from almost total loss, the wind has done so mach damage as to render it doubtful vf bother the storm has cut short the crop of tho County. Ouo thing it certainly has done-it hus equalized the loss among all tho planters, instead of con? fining it to those threatened by salt water. Tho crop must ho a very short one. Those who expected to commence cut? ting, on Saturday last, have been, pre? vented . by tho gale. The wind yester? day had shifted from N. E. to S., but tho weather is still so unsettled as to make it unsafe to have riae in tho stubble. It is a euddou and inglorious termina? tion of n most brilliant career-that of the racer Longfellow-provided tho .story of his strained tendon bo true. Tho noblo animal is surely lame, bat whether temporarily or per manon t ly cannot bo forcsccu. At any rato, bis "race is ruu" for the present, and on Wednesday evening old John Harper wended his way to the Saratoga depot, slowly and sorrowfully, en route for Ken? tucky. He wore his celebrated linsey woolsyjf. coat aud curried his faithful walking-stick, but big .countenance was dejected and the cheerful segar was ab? sent. Longfellow was put aboard tho train, aud honored with a whole oar set apart for his exclusive accommodation; and a little negro boy was detailed and carefully enjoined by tho owner to "look out for that leg." Tho cars started, and Harper and Longfellow, who had been tweuty-four hours before the observed of all observers, left tho scene of thoir triumphs and defeats with scarcely au eye to watch thoir departure. Mr. Har? per is a veteran in tho horso-ruisiug line, but has been singularly unfortunate. His throe veuturcs this year, Express, Littleton and Longfellow, have all proved losers, though it is said his aggregate gains exceed his actual losses. But ho is not discouraged, and will "try his luck" nguiu. We learn that ono day last we ok, au old gentleman, Eli Hartman, living in Davie County, N. C., in attempting to movo a pile of rails, caught his foot in tho pile iu some way and fell, breaking tho leg near tho ankle joint, tho end of tho broken bone protruding through the ukin. A physician was called in who Amputated tho'limb, but was unublo.to java tho old man, who died in a abort time.

They tell you.that every time, but thoy don't tull you that tho boat on which 1 came, away from Charleston had a fugitive slave." It is ovident hero that General Butler wishes to make capital for himself in a quarter where he thinks the violation of law in connection with a then existing domestic institution of some of thu States was rogarded as a tolerable if not a noble thing. He takes care not to as? sert flatly that ho himself did run off a slave; aud perhaps it is well that he does not so assert, for there aro few that would believe that he hud either the courage or tho feelings in opposition to slavery that would have induced such au act ut that time.-Ballimore. Sun. -;-4> ? --- A BELLE AS IS A BELLE.-In couclu siou, let me give yon another incident of the lifo of H Long Branch bulle. I was strolling through the bar-room of the Continental Hotel last evening, when a horse galloped up to tho door and a youug lady sprang from the saddle un? aided. Sue wus dressed iu full riding habit, sud Wheu her groom carno np, she gave him directions as to what fare thu horse should get, for all the world liko a turf muster who had beeu brought up umoiig horses all his life-time. The groom hud no sooner gone than she de? liberately walked up to the bar, in com? pany with a gentleman, who met her at tho door, and called for a glass of bot tledale.uud, what is more, she stood at tho counter until she hud drained the last drop out, and until thc gentleman, who didn't drink, had puid for it. This youug lady b?louga to one of the beat paying parties stopping at tho Branch, and ia u lady, in the ord mary accept ance of the term. In the faco of her bar? room feat, what becomes of the beauties who, they say, horrified a foreigner here the other day by drinking punches out on the laWu?

FICULTY.-A satisfuotory solution of tho Roumanian difficulty has been arranged at ti astern by Prince Bismarck uud Oonut ileust with the Government of Roumania. Thus all farther political complications ubout this question will be avoided. Tho German and Austriau bond-holders of the Routnuuiau railway will be indemnified by a new loan issued by the Routnaniuu Government, and guaranteed by Austria and Prussia. The history of this railway complication is as follows: When Prince Charles assumed the Roumanian vice-royalty iu 1?G5, he instituted a system of railways, the funds for which were furnished by PruB sian capitalists, the Roumunian Govern? ment guaranteeing thom seven per cunt, iuterest on their investment. This the Chambers recently refused to pay upon some frivolous pretext, and the bond? holders have, .nntil now, been remediless. Roumania bus beeu forced into honesty, und the quest ion is considered settled. It is said that on a certain occasion Henry Ward Beecher preached a sermon on the injustice of obligiugmen to work on Sunday. The next day, while riding down to Fulton Ferry, he entered into conversation with a cur-driver, aud asked if ho did not think some plan might be adopted to dispense with the need of running tho cars all day Sunday. The driver, in iguoranoo of his interrogating friend, made a frank reply: "Yes, sir, I think there might. But there's no hope for it so long as they keep thut Beecher theatre opeu in Brooklyn. Tho cars have to run to accommodate that." Lydia Thompson's ro-appeur&nce at Wallnck's Theatre, on Wednesday night, was marked by a sad event, which tho New York Sun tells of thus: "Miss Hetty Tracy, oue of tho new comers, and a very charming und pretty girl, aud not unlike Miss Thompson in person and map tier, was mistaken for that lady by the audience, and was greeted with pro? longed applause and a perfect whirlwind of boqnets, much, apparently, to her own surprise. When tho fair Lydia oame on, some timo after, ber admirers discovered their mistake, but the bo? queta wero gone." Another illustration of tho economical administration comes from Portland, Maine. In tho navy yard of that place 3,000 men were oraployed during the war, under charge of only three officers. Now only -400 men aro employed, with ovor forty ofHcers to look after them. They all live with their families at the navy yard, havo an excursion steamer constantly at tbeir disposal, and tho Go? vernment foots tho bill* with commend? able punctuality. Tho citizens of St. Louis have sub? scribed $15,000, to be a wu nlod as cotton premiums at their coming agricultural fair, and also S1.5U0 to be used in giving cottou-growors iu attendance a grand banquet. Largo preparations have been made also for woolen fabrics, machinery, ?fcc. / "What are you about, my dear?" said his grand-mother to a littlo boy, who was idling about the room, and casting furtivo glances ut a gentleman who was paying a visit. "I am trying, grond-ma, to steal papa's hut out of tho room with? out lotting tho gentleman soo it, for pupa wants him to think he's out." Tho Bainbridge (Ga.) A ry us Rays: "A negro child died Sunday Innt-four miles beyond tho rivor, in this County-from being bitten by a spider. Death was produced in about twenty-eight hours." BBMARK^^ -T?'?* Net? York corree pondent of tlie Wash? ington Patriot writes: Strange seeues sometimes ope ur in hospitals, but the crowning accomplish? ment really took place yesterday, ut tho Park Hospital. A bib o ret was brought in suflonng from delirium, tremens, and in a few moments ofter his arrival died. His heart ceased to beat, respiration waa suspeuded, and bis body becamo cold. But two of tho hospital physicians deter? mined to bring back th? fleeting spirit, and commenced tbe work iu good ear? nest. Ouo blew bia own breath in the man's nose, and the other ..*Lniin uttered what is known aa "percussion treat? ment." The clock pointed ten minutes, and tho labor v/ns telling severely upon, those disciples of Galen. But they would not yield, and when fifteen mi? uutes had elapsed, a gasp from what bad been a lifeless corpse repaid them; tben be actually breathed, his heart palpi? tated, and lo! the dead carno back to life. Tho gentlemou who so kindly exerted themselves for the patient were Dre. Nichols and Vand-.?water. Vow OP REVENUE.-After McCarthy was killed, in Washington, his body was tukeu to a drug store. His mistress o? the demi monda, bearing of his death, rushed to the scene. "She gave way for awhile (says a correspondent of the Phi? ladelphia Press) to her grief, throwing herself upon the dead mun and weeping hysterically. Suddenly she arose, and approaching the ussassiu, who sut sul? lenly looking upon the scene, said: "You know who I am; you may escape tho law, but if you do yon canuot escape me, fur I will kill you. I'll follow you to the world'B end-yes, even to h-li! She is said to bu u womau of extraordi? nary strength of mind and determina? tion, and it is not doubted that she will execute her threat, if tho opportunity, is given her." . There oro two things, each of whibh he will seldom fail to discover who seeks for it in earnest-the one, the koowledge of what he ought to do; nnd tho other, a plausible pretext L>r doing what he likes. The latter of these tho carnally minded might find in any set of pre? cepts that could bo framed; the former tho spiritually-miuded will not fail to ob? tain in the Gospel. The foreman of a printing office ont West, who bad boen left in charge of a weekly paper, while the proprietor was enjoying a jaunt with his brethren of the press, thus announced the fact: "The editor of this journal being absent, ac? counts for tho improved appearance of the paper, and the higher order of talent exhibited in its columns." Tho foreman was discharged. A young man named George Baird, a member of the Amazon Fire Company, iu Muyesville, Ky., waa accidentally run over and instantly killed, iu front of the residence of Mr. David Keefer, near tho Limestone Bridge, while on the way to tho fire yesterday.

New York, it is asserted, has twenty nine miles of water frout and only seventeen milos of whiskey front!
