C. TALBOTT MACHINE HE Foully Murdered on the Public High waySeveral Persons Suspected- Special Dispatch to Bal. Observer. Washington, N. Aug, 16, 1880.

Intelligence has been brought here by a negro man, wno came into town at lightning speed after a doctor, i that Gen Bryan Grimes had been shot dead while on his way home from this place. Gen. Grimes left here about 6 o'clock Saturday evening for his home, which is nine mues distant lie bad been in town all day witnessing the convention proceedings. He was driving two horses to a top buggy, and had with him when shot little Bryan Satterwaite, a lad of 12 years, a son ot x. i.

eatterwaite. Kan. Little Bryan says that the General was sitting on the left side of the buggy, and just as they were emerging from Bear Lreek, which is about five miles from here, he heard a gun fire, and General Grimes immediately dropped the reins, saying, "Bryan, lam shot" The boy said: "Are you much hurt, General?" Gen. Grimes replied "Yes, it will kill me," and began to sink down until he had sunk entirely down into the foot of the buggy. Little Bryan drove the horses on until he had reached the top of the hill, nearly on which lives a man named Carrow.

He called Carrow to him, and asked him to help him get the General's legs into the buggy. The boy then drove on to the residence of Cel. J. B. Stickney, which is about two miles from Uarrow and from there the body was carried to General Grimes Upon examination it was found that only one buck-shot had entered General Grimes' left arm.

and had passed through tne arm into the breast severing the large artery, and lodging in one of his lungs. No outside bleeding was perceptible; it was aU internal, and death ensued in about two minutes after the shooting. Ihe place where the shooting occurred is swampy, tne water being about a toot deep. The road is narrow, with a dense undergrowth on each side. No fitter place for such hellish work could possibly have been selected.

it was discovered tne next morning (Sunday) that the assassin had cut him self a trail through the undergrowth to two large cypress trees, about twenty steps rrom tne place wnere ne expectea nis victim to pass. Here he waited, and as the General's vehicle reached the point de sired he fired. About ten Or a dozen shot struck the ribs of the buggy top. After the shooting, the murderer, after wading 200 yards down the swamp through the water, so as to conceal his tracks, went out upon the dry land and made his escape. At the point where he came out of the water a small track, which was seemingly made by a number six gaiter or boot was discovered.

No clue to the murderer has yet been found, although suspicion rests upon sev eral parties. The murder was committed between sunset and dark. The whole country is alive with men, determined to ferret out and bring to justice the perpe trators of this cold-blooded and most dam nable deed. Gen. Grimes was one of the bravest of the brave.

He was 53 years of age. He entered the Confederate army in 1801 as Major of the Fourth North Carolina State Troops, and was promoted for his gallaa- try until he was the senior JMajor-General of Stonewall Jackson's corps. He par ticipated in every prominent battle in Vir ginia, lie was witn Lee at uettysburg and Sharpsburg, and was severely wounded in the foot at South Mountain', but did not leave the field. His division made the last charge at Appomattox. Gen.

Lee upon seeing this gallant charge, remarked, "What troops are 5 those?" When told Grimes' North Carolina Divi sion, ne said, liod bless iNortnUarolina. She is first and last to make a charge." Thus has inclorioTio'j' Jii nf th brightest stars that has ever shone in the galaxy of North Carolinians. i B. TO THE DEMOCRATS OF DUPLIN COUNTY. Editor Messenger As there are cer tain portions of our county where disaffection is thought to exist in our ranks, it may be well to take cognizance of certain matters that may prove dangerous to the interests of the party in the coming elec tion and especially in the approaching county convention.

And, as such disaffection is thought to have its origin in this part ot the county, it may not be amiss for a warning note to be sounded from this particular locality. Look out for Independents so called. The friends of this species of radicalism are martialling their forces and although in a hopeless minority, yet for "ways that are dark and tricks that are vain," they are not to be surpassed, and through deception practiced upon unsuspecting men, together with the aid and counsel of the republican party, with whom they are in communication they may influence your nominations to their own benefit. 1 his is their object. They denounce conventions, yet when a convention is held they are so wanting in consistency as to pre sent themselves for recognition, i One ot their ring leaders is now busy trying to form a club, the members of which bind themselves to support no nominee of the regular county convention, yet strange to say this same nng-leader expects to be a delegate in that county convention.

The question arises, why do these men wish to have a voice in this convention, the action of which they bind themselves not to ratify at the ballot-box The answer is plain their object is to influence the convention and get out men who can be beaten by an independent. This statement is venfied by their action two years aeo. when seven out of nine delegates supported the independent candidate and opposed bitterly the very nominations they themselves assisted in mafemg. Now, fellow-democrats, to be forewarn ed is to be forearmed. The statements that these men' make will be for sinister motives and not always in accordance with truth.

Even some there are who deny their complicity with this faction in order that their misrepresentations may be taJ ken as true. Some, too, of whom we might expect better things, but their denial amounts to nothing, as men are generally known by the company they keep. Now, I would ask, are these men-to be admitted to the deliberations of a county convention? Will a body of true demo crats consider such men eligible to a seat in that convention, or will they have the moral courage to reject them should such show such a want of common decency as to annlv? Much has been done to con ciliate this element, but experience shows that such a course is not only of no avail but actually encourages thi? nefarious principle. It is time the democratic party changed its tactics towards those who work inimically to its interests even though it drive a few of them to become open foes, which is far preferable to se cret enemies. Place independents in the republican ranks where they belong, and with the same lash that you apply to Garfield and Buxton and other enemies of the white race, scourge them also, and my word for it, very soon the cry of the independent so called, will no longer be heard in the land.

a sardonic grin. It will fade altogether Deiore ne gets half round the State. lHE first bale new crop cotton was brought to this market yesterday (Wed' neaday) by Mr. J. T.

Daley of Lenoir county, and bought by Messrs. Murchison Williams of this place. It was graded low middling, weighed 450 pounds, and sold for 11 cents. The first bale of cotton last year was also brought here by Mr. Daley, but later in the season, the 28th of August i We anticipate that several bales more will be Brought in this week yet The republicans of this county are la boring hard to induce democrats to run as independent candidates.

We have heard one or two names mentioned in that con oection, but. knowing the gentlemen as well as we do know them, we feel not at all inclined to believe that they are made out of any such mettle as would in duce them to turn traitor to party organi zation, in so important political crisis as the present The republicans will find themselves barking up the wrong tree. In this county the fight will be on old issues. He that is not for us is against us. Thx Duplin primaries, to elect nine del egates to the county convention, will take place the 28th inst, and we trust will be fully attended.

We hope also that our democratic friends of noble old Duplin, one and all, will resolve to sacrifice any mere individual preference for the public good. In the language of the Warsaw Brief Mention: "Everything for the cause nothing for the should be the motto. Independents and disorgani zers must be made to feel that the inter ests of the party and the county cannot be trifled with and they keep their places as trusted members of the party. A dozen open enemies are preferable to a disguised enemy." At the beginning of the present month Prof. Henry Vennor wrote from Mon treal, Canada, making the following fore cast of August weather.

It should be remembered that his calculations are for more northern latitudes Heat will in all probability extend through the first half of the month of August, and equal if not exceed the heated term of July. August will likewise be characterized by severe storms and heavy showers of rain, or in places hail; but on the whole the month will be comparatively a dry and hot one in, Lanada and the bordering United btates. A cool to cold term with frosts may occur between the 15th and 20th days, after which heat may again be ex pected up to September 1. The month will resemble that of the year 1876. 1 already foresee very early and severe cold with snowfalls in October.

TriE Democratic mass meeting and torchlight procession at Wilmington, on Tuesday, August 24th, promises to be a grand affair. Among the speakers who have already signified theirintention to be present we note the names of Gov. Jar- vis, Hon. w. VV.

ttansom, Hon. Zeb. B. ance, Hon. D.

G. Fowle and Hon. J. M. Leach.

The Star says in this con nection: "The railroad and steamboat companies have entered into the spirit of the occasion and have materially redueed their ites nr tne time, and every indica tion points to a large influx of visitors from the upper Cape Fear, from Samp son, Duplin, Wayne, Onslow and Pender, and the counties along the line of the Carolina Central, which road, it is under- stooa, win run a special train tor tne oc casion. Some of the most eminent speak ers in the State will be present, and all in an tne anair cannot tail to be wnat is hoped' and predicted for it a grand suc cess." As our esteemed young friend, who re ported the Granthams speaking for us, modestly omitted alluding to the capital speech of Mr. C. B. Aycock, in reply to Mr.

W. S. O'B. Robinson, we fall back on what a correspondent of the Raleigh JWetcs says ol the affair: "Mr. Uhas.

B. Aycock took the stand, and with gloves off he mercilessly peeled Robinson. The crowd had been held for at least three and a half hours, but they sat quietly and listened intently until he closed. He made a capital speech, and will yet be heard from. Dr.

Worth again rose to notice some of the groundless charges of Robin son. He had charged with an air of hor ror that Vance, while Governor, had armed the negro military companies. "Grant that he did," said Dr. Worth, "I ask you (pointing to Robinson) whether or not he did right?" Robinson was as dumb as a horse-block. "He charges that we have spent $2,000 in trying to catch Littlefield.

Yes, and we have spent much more in trying to catch the other rascally thieves belonging to his party who had stolen thirteen millions of dollars of our money." The Dr. made the young man squirm under his sledge hammer blows." At a late Teacher's Association held at Chapel Hill, 1 Prof. Winston in the chair, a memorial was adopted to be presented to the Legislature, containing the following sections: 1st For a. school of four months in each district 2d. To give to each district the right to tax itself for educational purposes.

3d. To require commissioners to erect suitable houses, the expenses to be defrayed from district fund. 4th. To authorize county Boards to give not less than one hundred dollars for support of county Teacher's institutes. 5th.

To require county Boards to appoint as examiners only persons who have taught three years, and are competent in every respect. Oth. To require each examiner to visit and supervise all schools in his district; his expenses to be paid from school fund. 7th. That county Boards, upon consent of a majority, shall fix a uniform series of text books.

Sth. That only two grades of certificates shall be given; one each for the Primary and the Grammar schooL 9th. To give teachers such salaries as shall be agreed upon between themselves and commissioners. 10th. To introduce studies in our common schools which, will promote industrial schools.

i Some of the cigarettes which are used to such a large extent are said to he dangerous articles. A physician had one of them analized, and the tobacco was found to be strongly impregnated with opium, while the wrapper which was warranted to be rice paper, was proved to be the most ordinary Quality of white paper, whitened with arsenic, the two poisons combined being presented in sufficient quantities to create in the smoker a habit of using opium, without being aware of it, and which craving can only be satisfied by an incessant use of cigarettes.

Pelletier, of Carteret, President of the Midland N. C. Railway Company, to pay $1,225,000 for a forty year lease of the Atlantic Road. One feature of the Pelletier proposition may interest many readers and we annex it "As soon as $100,000 shall haye been subscribed as in section 1st, the 'Midland' shall have the right to place a first mort gage upon the railroad from Morehead to Fayetteville and issue bonds thereon, not to exceed $15,000 per mile, paying or se curing out or the nrst proceeds or said bonds the sums set forth in Section 4 Within six months after said $100,000 shall have been subscribed, and sufficient of 6aid bonds negotiated, the road from Goldsboro to Fayetteville shall be placed under contract and the work prosecuted without delay. They agree and promise not to increase the present freight rates, and will never lease or sell the railroad to any other corporation or interest, but will ever maintain the same and operate it exclusively for the welfare and development of the counties through which it runs; and that upon reaching Fayetteville it will contract for a long term of years for mu tually advantageous running arrangements with the "Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad Company." thus oDeninir ud to Fayetteville, Goldsboro, Newbern and Beaufort harbor important connections and great additional facilities for traffic upon a sound, reliable and enduring basis.

AN EDUCATIONAL MEETING. Editor Messenger A large number of the colored citizens of Goldsboro and vi cinity assembled at the Wilberforce school house for the purpose of urging the establishment of the proposed graded school. E. E. Smith being requested to preside, remarked in stating the object of the meeting, that it was the third meeting that had been called to assemble in that house for the purpose to consolidate our best effort in the endeavor to institute the much needed graded school; and as nothing definite had been reached, it was to be hoped that at this meeting some thing may be accomplished.

Mr. J. U. Stevens was called and res ponded in an impressive and instructive manner, showing trom what sources the public school fund came. Mr.

H. bugg next spoke, but did not think that the special tax for the graded school could be collected. Z. T. N.

Boyd and H. P. Walker also spoke not favoring the project. Wm. Crocket, Simon Sasser and G.

T. Wassom each made an urgent appeal in behalf of the graded school. After mature deliberation, strong reso lutions expressing the most cordial well- wishes lor the graded were unanimously adopted. iS. ii.

Welter, for bailing to list his poll tax for this year, said warrant was returned executed on Aug. 13, 1880.

Official reports show that there has been paid into the treasury of North Urolinathis year, $342,290. 6S in school taxes.

Of this amount $25,844.59 was collected on liquor licenses. The Charlotte Observer commends these figures to that class of radical stump-speaders who claim that the conservative party are op-I osed to public free schools.
