Color Link. The bond question oncemore and once only. Next Monday willbe a fair test whether there be any "virtuein drawing the color line in our local affairs with equal severity upon democratswho become bondsmen for radical officeholders as upon the white men who votethat ticket. Our private opinion has al-
ways been against the policy of proscribing aman socially for political opinions when hedeclares such is his honest conviction ; butnot desiring to place that opinion in antag-
onism to older and wiser heads than ours,we have surrendered it in favor of a poli-cy that was represented to us to be endor-sed by the respectable white men of thecounty and the democratic party. Shouldit prove futile as it has before, we shallassuredly reveit to our opinion and adhereto it hereafter. We are indisposed to follow up a doctrine that results, it wouldseem, in no good to the part', sacrificesour own personal friends and makes us thelaughing stock of sober-minde- d men.Those friends who have patted us on theshoulder and tell us to go ahead must toethe mark next Monday, or we shall con-
clude their conduct argues a disposition tomake us shoulder the burden alone andthen we have done.

Strange-Murra- y Homicide. We hopeths public will reserve its judgment in theStamg Murray homicide until the fullaw! accurate details are learned. We feelassured there was greater provocation thanwhat has been published. An intimate as-
sociation of three yeais at school withThos. Strange has given us an aquaintancewith his character, lie is an amiableyoung man with a high sense of honor andwe know that he has better judgment thanto shoot down a man iu cold blood withoutsufficient provocation. We indeed sym-pathize with him iu his misfortune andtrust he may soon be restored to society ofwhich he gave such promise of being abrilliant and useful member. The blowwill doubtless fall heavily upon his father,Col. Robert Strange, one of the first menof the State, whose affections are almostcentered on his son. Nothing has occur-
red within our recollection that has beensuch a source of regret as the matter-- towhich we allude:
later.Since the above was written we have
seen Jno. L. Bridgers, Jr., Esq., of Tarbsro,who was sent for as counsel soon after theshooting occurred and leam from him thefollowing facts which are accurate :
Mr. Bridgers states that Murray is nota son of the Sheriff of the countyas it was reported and the state-
ment that Strange was threatened withlynching is all bosh. The cause of thetrouble arose as follows : When Murraycame up behind hand with his vehicle, he
was told by Strange that he was paid forthe trip and that he was two hours behindtime, Murray replied that he had to havehis horse shod and came as soon as he
could. Strange stated you had five hoursnotice and that is no excuse. Murray retorted by saying, 'whoever says I had five
hours notice is a liar.' Strange then said,' I say so, do you intend it for me?' Mur
ray says, 'you can take it if you like,'jumping down from the hack remarking,
'I can whip any two of you.' Strange
grasped a chair and attempted to strikehim but was stopped by his friends.
The party then drove on about thirteenmiles from Waynesville when a wheel
brake down and the driver of the wagon
went off to a neighboring blacksmith shop
to have it repaired. Murray who drove thehack then gave the party a cushion and
blanket and they went off aside a hundredyards to engage in a game of euchre towhile away the t; i After awhile some
one was heard coming up the road and all
with the exception of Strange went in thatdirection to see whether it was the man withthe broken wTheel, Strange in the mean
time remarking to Preston BridgciB, "whereis your pistol, I don't see it in your over
coat?" Bridgers replied, "don't shoot
away all my cartridges, I haven't many,
to which Strange said, "all right, I merely
want a few shots." Murray was sittirgnear the spaUerboard of the back andStrange shortly afterwards approached
him saying. 'I want to settle this matterwith you peaceably, yon called me a liar
and I want you to take it back as I am unwilling for you to go further with us afterwhat you have said." A woman workingnear by swore that she heard this remark.Murray replied, "you eaid I had five hoursnotice, and folks that tell lies must expect
to be called so.' He had a knife and a
slick in his hand when he said this and
stood up. Strange who also had a small
stick struck at him and Murray advanced
on him with the knife drawn. Strange
In Our Sanctum. On Monday last thogenial shadow of our sprightly neighbor ofthe Rocky Mount Mail brightened oursanctum. Mr. Thorpe was highly pleasedwith our beautiful 'burg. Our latch stringis always out to such clever visitors andwe hope he may find bis way in our midstagain.
On Wednesday we also had a call fromthe happiest newspaper correspondent thisside of the Equator, Dossey Battle, Esq.,of Rocky Mount. His letters to the Pe-
tersburg Index-Appe- al are the finest thatwe see. He practices at this bar and fre-- q
iently gets off a hit that brings down HisHonor, the jury, spectators and all.
McCabe Williamson Difficulty.The public is aquainted with the late shoot-
ing affray between Mr. A. McCabe and theeditor of this paper. The case came upfor trial last week. Mr. McCabe submit-
ted and was fined a penny and costs.As the perscnil and political relations
of Judge Moore and Mr. Williamson arehostile, he very properly declined to sit onthe case, stating that he would request oneof his brethren to exchange circuits withhim at the next term and leave thematter in hi3 hand.
We will state in this connection that thematter between Messrs. McCabe and Wil-
liamson has been amicably adjusted throughthe medium of mutual friends and theirformer relations resumed.

Kentucky Springs. Dr. K. H. Dick-e- n
writing from Crab Orchard Springs,Ky., says:
The springs are prettily located andthe waters very fine. I think they actbetter on me than any I have ever tried.They are the bulling Epsom water, makingEpsom Salts.
The races are going on here now. To-
day is the third. I tell you the scenery onthe Baltimore & Ohio Road is grand, al-
most equal to the Hudson. There are anumber of tunnels on the read, one a milelong- - The up grade is so heavy two en-
gines are necessary for the cars.The crops through West Ya, , Ohio and
Kentucky so far as I could see about likethe classification of cotton from Ordinaryto low Middling. I expect to leave in afew days for Greenbrier WThite SulpherSprings, so you will please send my nextpaier there.
W. T. Coub, Esq. We Lave denoun-ced in unmeasured terms white men whobecome boudsmen for radicals, butwish to state that the course of Mr. W. T.Cobb in standing with his brother, SheriffCobb, is winked at by public sentiment.We dare say there is not a truer democratin the county than himself and no manwould be farther from standing a radicalsbond, but when lie is asked by his brotherto do a personal favor, it is natural for himto comply and is wholly justifiable in so do-
ing. We will also state that in our edito-
rials touching upon this bondthere has always been an implied discrimi-
nation in favor of Mr. Cobb, whom we re-
gard as a representative mail in every res-
pect of the white people of the county andlook upon as nc of our best friends.
Seaboard & Raleigh Railway. Capt.D. P. McCorkle, engineer of the road, whohas been stationed at Tarboro for sometime, informs us that a special meeting ofthe stockholders was held at No. 54 Broadstreet, New York, on Sept. 2nd, to electdirectors for the coming and to trans-
act such business as came before them.We would be glad to see the proposedscheme to build this road carried into ef-
fect, but owing to the peculiar circumstan-ces under which the road firat went by theboard, its friends may expect no confidencefrom our people till the work has been ac-
tively begun, and so soon as they are as-
sured the road will be built, then themovers may expect assistance and goodwill and not before.
Court Squibs. Jeems n arris who willsteal anything from a spring pullet to acane-botto- m chair, was let off by JudgeMoore last week upon condition of " leav-
ing his county for his country's good."But Jeems is a constitutional thief. 'Tissaid he practiced in early youth on hisjacket suspended within reach on purpose,under the covert covering of his ownshadow.
He has made a buisness by skill-
fully abstracting the egg during theprocess of incerbation. Three credible
witnesses can be produced to his theft ofleeches from a snapping turtle's groins,without disturbing the repose of said turtle.
Well, Jecuis in the politest manner, whileramoosing the place of his piracy on theRocky Moimt cars, stole a lady's parasolm removing her baggage Irom the platform.
He would have purloined the conductorsstar had it not been too thin. LuckyRocky Mount did not offer any temptationto James, Bro. Ihorpe .
