CONSERVATIVES CARR Y THE DAY.
The following despatch, xeoeived by
ex-Gov. Yance, of North Carolina, was
furnished to ns by Mr. Bead, of the
Southern and Atlantic Telegraph line :
CHARLOTTE, August 2.-A despatch
jost received from Hon. D. M. Barrin?
ger, Chairman of thp State Central Com?
mittee, says: ..Twenty-seven representa?
tive Counties beard from give the Con?
servatives a gain on Bhipp's vote of
2,027. The Radical gain BO far is 485.
The Conservatives are certain of six ont
of eight Congressmen, and probably
seven. The Legislature is Demooratio
by two-thirds. The State goes Conserva?
tive by 8,000 majority certain, and may
reach 12-000,
WASHINGTON, August 2.-The New
York World's Raleigh special puts Merri
mon's majority at 5,000. The Herald
editorially says it is unsafe to hazard a
prediction as to the result, from the
meagre returns at hand, and that, after
all, 't id possible the negro Counties may
?ive the State to the Republicans. The
Tribuna editorially thinks the returns do
not warrant any positive statement as to
tho result-that-the gains in the oity
may prove deceptive-being caused by
this return of , the negroes to their
County places of registry. The Times'
special claims that the State has gone
Bepublioan.
The despatches received injthis oity in?
dicate a very quiet eleotion everywhere.
The returns wore awaited with anxiety
here, aud the headquarters of the differ?
ent political parties were crowded until a
late hour. Numerous despatches were
received and read, from both sides,
claiming tho State.
Greeley goes to Bhode Island on Sa?
turday, where he will remain a few days.
RALEIGH, August 2.-The returns
from twenty-seven Counties indicate
positively the election of Merrimon, the
Conservativo candidate for Governor,
six out of eight Congressmen, and sixty
majority on joint ballot in the Assembly;
thereby electing a Conservative United
States Senator, in placo of Jobu Pool,
the Radical Republican. The Republi?
cans give np the election, the only ques?
tion being that of majorities. The elec?
tion was quiet and orderly thronghout
the State. Tho contest in the Fourth
District, as yet, is doubtful, the chances
being in favor of Bogers, the Conserva?
tive, as also in the First District. The
probability is that seven Conservative
Congressmen will be elected.
WlliMTNOTON, N. C., Angust 2.-Rock?
ingham and Carteret Counties give Con?
servative gains. A Bepublioan gain in
Caswell. Returns indicate the defeat of
Settle for Congress. The probabilities'
are that the Conservatives have carried
six out of the eight Congressional Dis?
tricts. At Kinston, in Lenoir Connty,
Merrimon gains sixty-two votes. There
seems to exist no reasonable doubt of
Merrimon's eleotion by a decisive majo?
rity.
RALEIGH, August 2-2 P. M.-Beturna
como ; iu slowly, though it is conceded
that Merrimon, the Conservative candi?
date for Governor, is elected by about
8,000 majority. The contest in the
Fourth Congressional District is very
dose, with equal ohanoes of success for
the opposing candidates. Leaoh, Ashe,
Vance, Waddell and Bobbins, the Demo?
cratic Congressional candidates, are
elected. The Legislature will have forty
majority on joint b?llot.
Nsw YOKE, August 2.-The despatches
received at the Liberal Bepublioan and
DemOOratio headquarters here, to-day,
confirm the pews of Demooratio gains in ?
North Carolina, and estimate Merri?
mon's majority at 10,000, and a gain of
300 in Rockingham County, securing the
election of Le?oh over Settle in the
Fifth District.
WASHINGTON, August 2-Evening
LATEST.-Many wild contradictory de?
spatches have been received from North
Carolina. The indications at this hour
are 10,000 majority and seven Congress?
men. A despatoh from Greensboro re?
ports gains from the West. Agents have
been cautioned to be very careful, and
the Baleigh despatches, dated 2 o'clock,
may be regarded as safe.
Settle telegraphs the Postmaster-Gen?
eral that he is elected.

MATAHOBAS, August 2.-Tho military
authorities yesterday announced a gene?
ral amnesty, restoring the revolutionists
to civil and political privileges. The
general eleotion for President occurs
shortly.
DES MOINES, IOWA, August 2.-The De?
mooratio and Liberal Conventions have
agreed upon joint candidates, exoept for
Governor and Lieutenant-Governor.
CINCINNATI, August 2.-The Democra?
tio Convention of the Seventh Ohio
Distriot, after 168 ballots, nominated L.
T. Neal for Congress.
MEMPHIS, August 2.-The County
eleotion. yesterday, passed off quietly in
this oity. The Demooratio ticket, with
Doyle for sheriff, is elected by about 300
majority. In one of the country dis
tri?te, there was some shooting, and two
men are reported killed. McFarland,
for the Supreme Judge, has two majority.
Judge Loohrane goes South, to-night,
in the interest of the holders of Georgia
bonds, having been ratained to present
their rights as bona fide purchasers.
WASHINGTON, August 2-Evening.
The Department of Agriculture, to day,
commenced the distribution of sevoral
superior varieties of fall wheat to all the
States and Territories adapted to its
growth. This distribution will be oom
ploted daring the current month; tuna

ties where winter wheat is cultivated.
A large distribution Of ryo will follow
this distribution of fell wheat The De?
partment has made arrangements for an

WHEN Winn o tm PEOPLE HAVE PEACE?
It seems that the Government officials
are determined not to allow oar citizens
a moment's peace, so long as there is a
proBpeot of getting a dollar ont of the
Treasury. Scarcely a day peases that a
marshal and a squad of soldiers-some?
times two and three-is not seen leaving
oar town to hant np victims of their
mercenary crusade. These squads gene?
rally leave here aboat dark, and are
soouring the country all night, thns
keeping the people in constant fear and
alarm. It is claimed, even by the bitter?
est advocates of the law now so ruth?
lessly enforced, that the Kn Klux orga?
nization is so completely broken np,
that there ia no chance for lt ever to
he re-organized; then, in the name of
justice, why harass ?ur people abont it
any longer? It is erne], cowardly and
mercenary. The victima now arrested
are nearly altogether poor, illiterate
men, who depend upon their daily labor
for procuring bread for themselves and
families. They may have belonged to
the Ka Klux-perhaps were induced
to join that band by the very men who
are now employed by the Government
to hunt 'them down-but there is no
such organization now in existence, and
it is not at all probable that such an
organization.dan ever be formed again.
The mission of the Ku Klnx law hus
been accomplished, and the continua?
tion of arrests under it is nothing more
nor less than malicious political persecu?
tion. It might secure the election of a
few Radicals to office, but as sore as the
sun shines, it will not restore peace,
quiet and good feeling among the peo?
ple.
A few days ago, the following persons
were m arched tbroagh the streets, under

by Deputy Marshal A. A. Hammett:
Henderson Blanton, Zock'PhillipB, Jas.

They are all from North Pacolot, and
charged with conspiracy. The four
first named haye been released on bonds;
the others are still in jail.

July 19, three negroes, Jacob MoKel
vey, Au guet Small and Julia Mitchell,

SUMNER'S LETTER "A FonaEnv."-A
well-known Charleston Radical gave a
colored audience, yesterday, a charac?
teristic explanation of the Sumner letter
to the freedmen. He found that the let
tor was too much talked about, and, aa
he could not gainsay the life-long loyalty
of Mr. Sumner to the interests of the
negroes, he took the bnll by the horns
and assured his gaping hearers that the
letter was "a Demooratio forgery," and
would be formally deolared so by Senator
Sumner himself. This satisfied the
dusky doubters, who stand firm in their
belief that President Grant is supported
by the whole Repubhoan party, instead
of by its tag-rag and b?b-tail alone.
[Charleston News.
THE INJUNCTION AGAINST THE CITY
COUNCIL.-On motion of City Attorney
Oorbin, Judge Graham, yesterday, is?
sued an order requiring the Enterprise
Railroad Company forthwith to restore
the streets damaged by them to their
original oondition, and prohibiting them
from making any further disturbance of
the soil exoept for the purpose of re?
pairing the damage already done. It
also provides that the Gity Council can
make application to the court to' impose
terms upon the company, should the lat?
ter fail to comply with the requirements
of the order within a reasonable time.

sensation. A railroad conductor's wife
tracked him to a saloon. She found him
at "seven-up;" she gave him one-up by
tho coat collar and over-tamed the

ABBEVILLE, S. C., Joly 31, 1872.
Mit. EDITOR: The largest Radical mass
meeting of the campaign oame off at
thia place on yesterday, the crowd num?
bering eeveral thousand people. The
day was very bot, the crowd was thick
and odoriferous, and tbere ia bat one
word in tue English language which oan
convey the slightest idea of my opinion
of tba meeting, and that word is stink.
There was a terrible stench-a stench in
the nostrils of all decent people that, in
this day of civilization and refinement, a
orowd of impassioned, unprincipled men
should collect together, in the broad
light of day, to promulgate their damna?
ble political heresies, and influence the
minds of their ignorant, uneducated au?
ditors with the vilest, most incendiary
language-thereby Atting them for any
undertaking, however dark, bloody or
criminal jw might be. Snob a sight was
heart-rending to me. Bat to the speak?
ing.
The speakers were numerous, and said
much on their side which muy possibly
have weight with their sworn followers.
That they said aoytbing calculated to
change the mind or alter the convic?
tions ot any reasonable, honest, intelli?
gent thinkiug man, I think I can safely
say no. The speeches consisted in ti?
rades of abuse heaped on persons of dif?
ferent political opinions,. Viz: the Demo?
crats and Liberal Republicans. I must
not neglect to mention,one notable ex?
ception to this ralo, however-the Lion.
R. B. Elliott, who was dignified and
sensible in ull his remarks, and who gave
another member of the Republican party,
Mr. Sullivan, a severe rasping.
S. L. H?ge was the first speaker, and
had the same old speech he has spoken
ever since his entrance on politics. It
was composed of crude similes, Bible
passages, hackneyed rhyme, and eulogies
of Republicanism. It was received with
no very great enthusiasm-the audience
either doubting his utterances, or not
being able to comprehend his match
less(1) grandiloquence. H?ge has spoken
the samo thing so ofton that he will be- ,
lieve what he says himself if he repeats
it much oftener.
Lowndes, a young fellow, as black as
ink, from your city, next took the stand
und splurged. His remarks had neither
rhyme nor reason in them, and con?
sisted of the merest twaddle. He is not
smart, and the good colored people of
Columbia had better keep such charac?
ters at home, if they want to sustain
their reputation as intelligent people.
Hon. R. B. Elliott was the speaker of
the day, and made an address which
WHS a credit to bim aud his race. He
referred to a commanioation from Abbe?
ville in the Union, of Monday, signed
"Union," and denounced tho contents
of that letter as a vile attempt to damage
the olaims of Cardozo upon the people
of Abbevile. He called for the author,
when Mr. Sullivan came forward. El?
liott applied tbe lash of criticism, and
used language which I would have hated
very much to stomach. He told
"Union" of his past history, and ad?
vised the people of Abbeville to kick all
Northern adventurers out of the party
who come here to create strife or to live
by their suffrages for tho mere emolu?
ment of self. The dispute was very
bitter, and came near exciting serious
trouble. "Union" was like the anaconda,
mentioned in the old song, who conld
"Swallow himself, crawl through himself,
Come out with great facility;
Tie himself in a bow-knot, snap his tail
And wink with great agility."
He did all this, but failed to oonvince
the people of the falsity of the oharges
brought against him by General Elliott.
Would to God that the colored peo?
ple would see to it that none of these
Northern men should stay here and live
off their suffrages and paltry wages, by a
a pretence of love and friendship. These
oarpet-baggers, as a whole, are a trifling
and most wioked set.
Bat all things must end, and so this
letter. MACBETH.
The Tichborne olaitnatt, after a tri?
umphal tour through the provinces of
England, has at last returned to London,
accompanied as usual by his two warm
supporters, Messrs. Onslow andWhailey.
He there held a monster meeting, at
which 3,000 people are reported to have
assembled. The claimant made a speech
of an hour's length, in which he attacked,
as usual, the arguments that had been
brought against him in the late trial, and
declared that ho wanted nothing more
than for his fellow-countrymen to aid
him in obtaining a fair trial. One Alex?
ander Kennedy, an ex-sergeant of carbi?
neers, came forward and declared the
speaker to be the same Sir Roger Dough?
ty Tiohborue who had commanded him
in Ireland. At the conclusion of the
speeches the meeting unanimously voted
a resolution to the effect that the claim?
ant ia no other than Sir Roger Dough?
ty Tiohborne, and avowing that the
counsel who had hitherto undertaken his
defence, had not done their duty. Even
the press is coming over to bis side, the
Morning Advertiser remarking signifi?
cantly that if the olaimant be really no
other than Arthur Orton, it is strange
that out of 3,000 persons, living in the
immediate vicinity of his birth, no one
should havo as yet been able to recog?
nize in him tho Bon of the butcher of
Wapping.
DEATH OP Miss MALTHA BEATTY.
This aged and much respected lady died
at ber residence, about four miles below
this town, on Monday last, after a long
and severe illness, in the eightieth year
of ber age. She was the sister of Col.
Robert Beatty, Sr. She was never mar?
ried, but her pure Christian character
won for her the love of a vory largo
oirole of friends. - Union Times.
The freedom with which tho Southern
darkies uso the razor leads the St. Louis
Times to fear that it will eventually be?
come the eraser of the race.
ABANDONING THE FABM AT CHAPPAQUA
-MB. GREELEY'S FAREWELL SPEECH.
On Saturday last. Mr. Greeley attended
thu laat of his usual Saturday HOI ree s
at his farm, and at a dinner with the
Greeley cl nb at the farm, aaid:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: It was once
remarked by one Irish orator of another,
that he never opened his month but he
pot his foot into it. One of tha ideaaan
regard to o Presidential oandt?tt?', jia
that be also cannot open bia m odin with?
out accomplishing some such feat, They
are always warned by their friends not
to talk-although they might talk if they
did not say anything. I would only say
a word about these meetings, as this ia
probably the last meeting we shall bold
in this grove. My delight, friends and
neighbors, was to spend a day in the
week among you. For twenty years it
haa been my delight to spend the Satur?
days among yon, working around the
farm, or in the woods, because I needed
phyBical exercise. I hare enjoyed my
self in your society, and I have had the
recreation which my physical natara re?
quired in working on my farm. This
spring a new series of circumstances ar?
ranged themselves about quite unexpect?
edly. I then found that the friends vi?
siting me here-originally two, four, six
-were growing to forty, fifty, and some?
times I found in consequence of ibis,
that it was necessary I should dispense
with my exercises. These re-unions I
thought were very agreeable to me; but
the critical state of my wife's health, and
the ill-natured and, I must .say, imperti?
nent remarks and criticisms of certain
journals, have, rendered them sources of
uneasiness and discomfort to those who
united with us. I never doubted that
persona who assented, as I do, to become)
candidates for public offices are fair sub?
jects of criticism; but I cannot soo why.
ladies should/bavo their names criticised:
in newspapers, and drifted- ucross tho
continent by electricity, I do not think]
such commentaries, such impertinent re?
velations, are consistent with reputable
journalism, nor with that courtesy and
good feeling which seems to me to be'
presumed whenever one man meets with
uuother. It is therefore deemed expedi?
ent by .oar friends to ask all who could,
to come here to-day, and to say that
after this our meetings will be intermit?
ted. I trust they have been to most of
UB pleasant occasions to be remembered.
Whatever the future may have, the poet
is faithful. Friendships of the warmest
kind have been made in these gather?
ings, and if we could have been secured
against theae insolent intrusions, which
were deliberately intended to be unkind
and depreciating, we should have con?
tinued oar re unions. But sinoe we can?
not be secured against gossips and tale?
bearers, we will discontinue them here,
and meet elsowhere. [Cheers. "Yes,
at the White House."| After a while it
will be nobody's particular interest and
profit to misrepresent what is done here.
The objection made to ' the speeches of
candidates for the Presidency, ia not
what they shall say as improper or indis?
creet, bat what they.shall say that is'lia?
ble to misrepresentation. I was plunged,
the other evening, into a gathering-a
sooial dinner of college graduates. It
would have been easy to make excuses
against going there. I was entreated to
speak, and did so, for three minutes, on
the subject of education. It was at onoe
reported around tho country that I pro?
posed to give the Government the entire
control of the education of the American
people. The impression was sent abroad
that 1 favored the pntting within the
sphere of the Federal Government all
matters of this kind. You will therefore
cease your visits for the next few months;
then, in November, the' elections will be
over; and I trust that we shall, after that,
have occasion to meet in this grove, and
renew our aspirations of friendly regard
for each other, and hope and pray ' for
each other's long life and prosperity.
After the speeches the company sepa?
rated, and most of the visitors went down:
to the depot. A Greeley and Brown
dub wa3 addressed by the prominent vi?
sitors to Ghappaqna.
Mr. Greeley came down to New York
with the balance of his visitors.
SAD ACCIDENT.-On last Friday, Mr.
W. L. Heliums, living near Centreville,
accidentally shot himself whilst out
hunting with' his gan. The circum?
stances, as we have heard them, are
these: He was moving a pile of rails
with one hand, and holding the gun
with the other, when the gun exploded,
lodging the contents in his right shoul?
der. His wound is doing well, but it is
feared be will be a permanent cripple.
Mr. Hellams was a member of Orr's Re?
giment, and passed through many bat?
tles without a wound.

An odd circumstance has just occurred
in Milwaukee. While a funeral proces?
sion was following the remains of a child
to the grave the other day, the agonized
parents suddenly conceived a strong de?
sire to secure a photographic likeness of
I the corpse. Their wish was communi?
cated to the other mourners, and the
procession was thereupon stopped in
front of the studio of a professor of the
art, and while the dead babe was enb
jeoted to the action of the camera, the
sorrowing friends sought relaxation in a
cooling glass of lager.
A FATAL- MISTAKE.-Thomas Carroll,
while riding near San Jose, California,
on Saturday night, saw two men whom
be supposed to be highwaymen; he shot
ono of thom dead and made tho other a
prisoner. Investigation shows the vic?
tim to bo Henri Pattol, an inoffensive
French florist, who, with his companion,
who is in the same business, was going
into tho mountains to gather flower?.
Oarroll was committed for trial on tho
charge of manslaughter.
The editor of the Madison Progress
sleeps with a bnnoh of pennyroyal above
him, and the horrible hum of the ma?

GOOD FEELINGS.-We know a blunt
old fellow who sometimes hits the nail
on the head more aptly than philoso?
phers. He once heard a man praised for
"good feelings." Everybody joined and
said the man was possessed of excellent
feelings.
"What bas he done?" asked the old
genius.
"He is possessed of the most benevo?
lent feelings," was the reply. *
?'What has he dono?" cried the old
fellow, again.
By this time, the company thought it
necessary to show Borne pf his favorite
doings. They began to east about in
their mind; but the old man still shout?
ed, "What has he done?'* .They owned
they oould not name* anything in parti?
cular. >*f*j
"Yes," answered the ,?yuic, "you say
that he.is a man that has good feelings.
Npw, gentlemen, 1st sc toll you that
there are people in this world who get a
good name simply on account of their
feelings. You can't tell me one gene?
rous notion they ever performed, in their
lives; bat they can look and talk moat
benevolently. I know a i man ip this
town that you would all call p. surly,
rough and unamiable man, and yet be
bas done more acts of kindness ju this
County than all of you put together.
You may judge peoples actions by their
feelings, bot I judge people's,feelings by
their actions." ,:
