MONDAY AUGUST 8, 1870 North Carolina-Holdetf Defiant. The Kalcigh Standard, IIoldbk'8 organ, and edited by his son, says in effect that Holpkn's officers of election will give the certificates to the Radical candidates. \N e quote : " We, the BepublicansJiaVe carried tins State once more by l-,<>00 or 15,000 "*We have carried the Lcgistotnre. " We have sustained the ^oveuior and the President of the United States. This copy of the Standard wa* Saturday, but was of ?ourse printed at an early hour on Friday evening, so as to be sent northwards by tbe mail which Icll Kaleigh Friday nifiht. ^e sW ^ surprised to learn that carried out his purpose of filling tb ^ ^ ^ by fraud, as they attempted to i with Kadical scoundrels. The Best of News from North Carolina. A Virginian, now on a visit t?> North Carolina, sends us the following g^ioiis news U will be rather hard for Holoe* to manage such majorities as ; these; and th-y will . liable the Conservative Legislature to manage him.

Nearly even congressional district lias sonc for the ( onnervative*. Bully for Old Tar Mate. S Virginia. We are in the sixth year after the war of blood, and near the conclusion, it is to be hoped, of the war of political persecution and punishment. We have been given to understand by recent events that the i relation of the States to the General Government is entirely changed, and for a time possibly we may be held to be more amenable to interference in our local affairs by the Federal Government than New York or any northern State. But gradually all distinctions among the States are being obliterated, and in a short time there will be no such inequality. Used to hard treatment, and having been tried by passing through the most humiliating ordeal that ever a community was subjected to, we can at least be comfortable under the same discipline that all the States in the Union are subjected to. We arc therefore in comparative ease and security. We can all vote, and we have succeeded in electing men of capacity and honesty to administer the Government, and public confidence has greatly recovered. The people have stronger hopes and their energies are more full of life than they have been since the beginning of the Congressional war upon the South. It would be disastrous to the prosperity of the State were our people to separate now upon political issues, and thus so weaken their strength as that the Government would pass into the hands of men who cannot be trusted, and we become again a prey to tears and troubles which restrain enterprise, cripple energy, and seriously impair the growth and improvement of thestate. We are in a position from which we can advance rapidly, if we remain firmly devoted to our domestic welt are without dividing upon questions upon which it isnot at all Important that our voice should now be heard. What are the objects to be secured by union and harmony at home now? Good government - the best men to represent us- the preservation of older- the inspiring of confidence - the stimulation of enterprise and industry- the encouragement of investments, and the inviting of immigration. These objects are above all others that can command our exertions now. They involve the growth and prosperity of the Commonwealth and the peace and comfort of society, as well as the safety and support of the women and children of the State. And shall we give up these and go to war - partisan war - for the purpose of giving a few politicians places ? Is it more important that we should caucus and canvass for the propitiation of these men than that we should protect the local well-being of Virginia and the very peace and comfort of every family fireside We imagine the people of Virginia will be united on this point. They have too much to do at home in clearing away the debris of the war, restoring order, getting ahead in their stores for subsistence, and preparing to rebuild their fortunes, to go to sea on Federal politics. Virginia has not made money as fast as the cotton States, and her staple has been the subject of heavy taxation, to the serious injuy of her agricultural industry and also of her manufacturing interests. And this injustice, which fails so heavily upon the colored population, must be made to bear upon the next election. But while Virginia has not made money as fast as her sister States further South have done, her improvement has been steady and substantial. Her increase is upon solid foundations. Whether we consider her temperature, soil, waters, forests, or minerals, she stands prominent the State of all others that will confer the best rewards upon industry and the greatest degree of health and happiness upon her people. With the highest hopes, then, let us be united, and with all our energy and industry let us wipe out the scars and desolationsof war and make our dear old State blossom as the rose.

Thk Losses by tuk Wak.? The London Economist of July 1(5 undertook to estimate the amount of this loss, us shown b\ the full in securities in the eight days he t ween July 4th, the day before the lirslalarm in the French Chamber of Deputies, and July 12th, when the war panic tirst reached its height. In this one week the value oi Freneh rentes fell equal to $150,000,000 ; that of British consols, $41,575,000 ; that of Italian bonds, $41,575,000; that of the United States bonds. $03,000,000 ; and the total los.of value in the national securities sold ii: London was no less than $381,475,000, oi not tar from $400,000,000, without including the stocks of Germany, Austria, Belgium, Holland, and some other countries, o: which no miles are made in London. The world 1? none the worse oil* for these imagiuar y losses. Surely no sane man will contend that the l>onds of the United .States arc worth less to-day than they were a mouth ago. Such losses as these are amongst tin least evils of a state of war. If peace were made to-morrow these securities would at once recover their late value. Where, ther, would be the loss ?

In this connection the committee cannot forbear earnestly inviting the attention oi Democrats and Conservatives throughout the country to the condition of their ie".peetive party organizations everywhere, tnd urging the high importance that such organizations in States, congressional districts, counties. ?&i\, should be in thorough, effective, practical working order.

Information received in Washington says that the conservative people of Texas have decided to send a delegation to Washington to appeal :o the President for relief from the condition of things into which the Legislature oi the State has plunged the people. The ?movement originates within the Republican party, though expressly disclaiming to >e political, and calls for meetings in every town in the State. French* Passports.? The French Government having notified the Government )f the United States that American citizens travelling in France must be provided with passports, notice is given that passpirts can be obtained by making application to the "Department of State, Washington, D. C.t Passport Bureau," without the interveution of any so-called passport agent. So special agents are appointed by the De

A Charming; AfS'air? 31 a huh. etc. Sweet Chalybeate, August 4, 1*<0. Last uight the '* Little lied" was all life, light, and gaiety. The occasion was the annual fancy ball, which came oil with great eclat. At about 0 o'clock in the evening the mysterious maskers began to make their appearance, and soon the gailv-decorated little ball-room presented a grotesque and brilliant scene. The folding doors connecting the parlor with the ball-room were thrown open, and the visitors who were not in mask were ranged in a semi-circle in the parlor, while those in costume for a time occupied the ball-room floor exclusively. There were the usual representatives of the various characters in life's comedy mingled in festive pursuits, and with but little regard for the requirements' of their social positions, for Paddv Miles was the accepted partner of the brillant and lively Queen of Night, while John Chinaman, the coming railroad hand, disported himself promiscuously among the noble ladies, and a Moor was favorably received among those of high | degree. . i The characters were all well- sustained, land enjoyment was the order of the evening. Richmond, N orfolk, Mobile, and Baltimore, were placed in pleasing rivalry in t!ie persons of representat ive belles. Richmond lithe and graceful, Norfolk bewitching and lively. Mobile stately and commanding admiration. New Orleans sprightly and charming, and Baltimore dashing and bright? each in the person.- of their representatives? -lent an irresistible fascination j to t he spectacle, and one in the endeavor to weigh individual merit was lost in admiration for all. The costumes were very brilliant or very comic, as the occasion required, and were furnished by I he indispensable Moxley, of Washington. Among the costumes we noticed the following : , Eastern Princess, Miss L. Campbell, Richmond ; Spani>h Girl, Miss Ida Camphell, Richmond ; Mexican Girl, Miss B. Uobiu?on, Va. : John Chiuaman, Lewis Whiteford. Balt imore ; Turk, Henry Cliamberlavne, Norfolk ; Lady, Court of Louis X VI.': Miss Miller, of Mobile : Bride, Miss (i. Miller, of Mobile; Wild Irishman, Cornelius Kellv J Norfolk Belle, Miss I da Newton ; Moor, Mr. Bariett, of Baltimore ; Old Aunt Mollie, Mrs. Carroll, of Baltimore ; Hickory Pickery, Mr. Kinnirey ; Polish Count/ Mr. iioitman, of Baltimore; Polish Countess. Mrs. il oilman ; French Clown, Mr. Mills, of Sweet Springs ; KveningStar, Miss Ilcssie White; Fra Piavolo, Mr. John Devlin, of Baltimore; Negro Woman and Child, Sheppard Clark, of Mobile;? this character constituted the most amusing feature of Ibo ball, and was carried out to perfection ? Joan of Arc, Miss Tyler, of Baltimore ; Scottish Girl, Mrs. Kinnirey : Fille du Regiment, Miss Agnes White: Italian Peasant, Miss Swain, ol New Orleans; Highlander. Miss Pleasants, of Richmond : Paul Pry. Judge Williams, of Louisiana : Father Magraw and Judith McCaini, II. fl. Robinson and Nat. Tyler; Polish Count, Pr. McDonald; clown! John Kelly; Marquise, Miss E. liudecke, of New Orleans. Besides these, and in ball dress, we noticed in the brilliant circle of spectators General Pickett and lady : Miss Newton, of Norfolk; Mr. Baskervill, of Richmond; Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Randolph, of Richmond; Misses Marie' and Helen Marbury, District Columbia ; Miss Nannie Cohen, Savannah; Miss Thornton, Virginia; Miss Marie and L. H. Potter, New York: Miss Mary "\yilson, Sweet Springs : Colonel Dangerli'eld Lewis, Virginia; Dr. Marbury, District Columbia; Howard Potter, Esq., New York: 11. A. Chinn, Esq., Cuba ; besides a large number of oi hers. At about o'clock the dance was suspended and the company was invited to a handsome supper provided by the generous host, Mr. Kinnirey. The supper was a cold one, but was one of the most complete and elegantly arranged we have ever seen in the mountains. There was nothing wanting for a ball supper, thanks to the skill of Mr. Carroll, the Springs caterer, and the "lay out" would have done credit to New York. After sunuer the dance was resumed and kept up until a late hour, when the merrymakers dispersed and the hall was over. There are now over lw?? hundred guests here, and the place i< qufe gay, Among the arrivals last night wore Judges Staples and Jovnos, of the Supreme Court of Virginia : John T. Anderson. Esq., and lady, of Botetourt; and General liust, of Arkansas. Denis.

On Sunday last, the ittst ultimo, there was preachingat Bethel^, in Caswell county, North Carolina, by the Rev. Mr. Mc.Xeiley. it was a funeral* occasion. Just alter the congregation had been dismissed, and as they were coming out of church, an officer of Kirk's militia with about a dozen of his lawless hand, marched up to the crowd with musket s and pistols, and arrested Mr. J. B. Blackwell, a prominent citizen of Caswell, who was pointed out to them by a negro man, and no doubt at the suggestion ol some negro. The scene is described by those who were present as awful. Mr. lJlackwell made no resistance, giving himself up into the hands of ruffians whom it was useless to resist, amidst the cries of his wife and children. No charge was brought against him, nor does he know j what he was arrested for. As if to outrage the leeliucs of the people as much as possible, and to show a total disregard of the liberty of the citizen, this arrest was made at church, and on the holy Sabbath, when it might have been made as well at any other time and place. ?

The Act to Enforce the Fifteenth Amendment? How the Democrats of West Virginia Use it. The "Wheeling Intelligencer , the lending Republican paper of West Virginia, growls oa follows because a slick cut by Congress to beat Democrats with has been laid on the shoulders of the Radicals. It was in Marion county that Pcirpolnt refused to run. The Intelligencer says : "A systematic scheme for the intimidation of the officers of registration throughout the State has been set on foot, and practical operations have begun. In 3iarion county, as we are informed, two commissioners have been appointed by the judge of the Federal eourt, who are apparently appointed for the express purpose of assisting in this work of intimidation. Like appointments have been made for other counties. In Marion we hear that one of these commissioners, after his appointment, made public threats that he would arrest and send to jail registrars who refused to make certain registrations. The West Virginian, which came to hand last evening, says a Democratic speaker recently said ~ in that county 'that the United .States commissioner would issue his warrant and appoint some good Democrat to ' bring in old Henry Bogqe&s, one of the registrars, by the hair of the head.' It also says other threats were made by Democrats there ' to arrest and imprison the several registrars of the county if they relused to do their bidding last Monday.' We are also informed by a letter from Fairmount that last Monday, the Hoard of Supervisors being in session, an ex-rebel lawyer, after a consultation with the clerk of the Board, who ist-he Democratic candidate for Auditor, presented a paper to the Board asking the use of the jail for the imprisonment ot officers of registration who might be arrested for infraction of the act of Congress enforcing the fifteenth amendment. '?Now, all this is clearly intended to frighten the officers of registration out of a proper performance of their duty under the laws of the State ; and a telegrr*-in evening informed us that one oi' the registrars in that county Iin?* actually been arreted."

Particulars of the Riot at Harroda- j . burg? Five Men Killed and Many Wounded? A Bloody Affair. From a gentleman who arrived in the city from Harrodsburg, Ky., on "Wednesday we learn the following particulars of a bloody affair in that town on Monday last : A large number of negroes were in the town, and all of them were voting the Radical ticket. White Radicals were at the polls, and challenged every Democratic voter. The election passed off quietly until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when a difficulty arose between a young man named ?S. R. P. Lawrence and a negro. They engaged in a hand-to-hand light, and a short distance from the court-house Lawrence shot t he negro and then cut his throat, nearly severing his head from his body, killing him instantly. The light created great excitement, and in a short time about two hundred negroes. armed with muskets and shot-guns, collected in the vicinity of the court-house, and one of them shot Lawrence through the body, indicting a wound from which he died instantly. A shot fired by the negroes struck a young man, son of Mr. Green Johnson, who was sitting near the bank, and who had taken no part in the affair, killing him instantly. "W. II. Hawkins (while) was seriously wounded, and Matt. Bradshaw (white) had his throat cut with a ball. About one dozen white men were engaged in the difficulty. Several others besides the above-named were slightly injured. Two negroes were mortally wounded, and have since died, and eight or ten others were wounded. The whites were armed only with pistols. At least live hundred shots were tired. The negroes then retreated towards the suburbs of the town, when the peaceably-disposed citizens interfered and quelled the disturbance, and placed a strong guard over the town. The most intense excitement prevailed, and the bloody riot was very nearly renewed on Tuesday by the attempt of young Hawkins to shoot a negro named Snead, whom he accused of having killed Lawrence. The negro seized the pistol just as Hawkins was about to tire, and held it until Colonel Chenmveth and others succeeded in disarming Hawkins. It is said that both of the parties between whom the difficulty originated were under the influence of liquor. The good citizens of the place deeply regret the dreadful occurrence, and a strong guard is still kept in the town to prevent a repetition of the bloody scenes. ? Louisville Courier. Marshall 31. Dent, formerly of Morgan town, has applied for a divorce from his wife. Dent was a member of the Recession Convention of 1800, but uot a Sccesh, by any means. The late rebel General Thomas L. Price, of Missouri, is said to have left an estate valued at ?1,000,000. ? Exchange. The rebel General's name was Sterling Price. Thomas L. was a loyal man, we think. He presided over the last Democratic National Convention, when Mr. Seymour had declared he "couldn't be v outcandidate, and had run oil*. Hon. Jefferson Davis.? The TTon. Jefferson Davis arrived in this city yesterday morning from Greenbrier White" Sulphur Springs, en route t or Europe, and engaged apartments at Barnum's Hotel.
