THE GLRAXHR. 15. ft. PARKER, Editor. tillAU AM, N. C., MAR. lOth, 1870. [ These columns ore open to the free discussion of affairs. The (1 LEASE/! is nut responsible for the opinions expressed by correspondents.J AH 10 THE I'KOI'MI TO f Whenever the physical man issufler ing from disease the skilful physician seeks the first cause of disorder and addresses himself to its regulation and correction or removal, and, having ac complished this, nothing remains de manding his professional attention beyond repairing the damage nlrcady done, by stimulating, and en couraging nature in her efforts at recov ery from its effects; and guarding by proper means, against a recurrence of the same, or some similar disorder or cause of suffering. S5, as a general principal, it is with all unhealthfulncss, whether of the body physical or body politic, there is existing, and frequent ly hid him from ordinary view, if not invariably so, some one cause or com bination of causes to which all unsound ness is logically traceable. And in our efforts to restore health and vigor, our remedies must bo directed to those sources from which flow the evil influ ences, —the source of the malady, or we shall at last find ourselves disappointed in accomplishing permanent good. In government, these sources of corrupt ion, unfaithfulness, and incompetency, diseases to be found upon Hie body politic, and frequently so unfortunate ly located as to vciy seriously interfere , with, if not absolutely to prevent the performance of its useful and necessary . functions, are in themselves in many cases, not such as arc accounted posi tive wrongs and they might plead not guilty, with some hopepf acquittal, tq the charge of prime cause of all or any part ofthc affliction laid at their door. The body politic is sick of chronic ailment, which is growing worse at an alarming rate. A diagnosis shows that it is suffering from a combination of diseases, thus foraing the worst of all cases for successful treatment, and among tlicso the more prominent arc corruption, venality, unfaithfulness and incompetency in office, aggravated by a predisposition thereto, brought about by jtl»e malaria of au atmosphere of general demoralization. Now if any one cause can be found, common to these principal diseases, that are preying upou the system, then, the duties of the physician arc much sim plified, as he has the object agaiust which his professional skill is to be di rected. If he can remove that, the dan ger is oyer; and, if the recuperative powers arc not too thoroughly exhaust ed, the patient, by the aid of a simple tonic, will begin to enjoy the quiet de lights of returning health. That tho peoplo themselves, the very 6cat of life, have becomo torpid and ceased to per form their necessary and proper func tions, ftirnishes to our mind a complete solution of the prime cause of the un soundness, unhealthfulncss and pros tration ot the government. They have ceased to throw off the impurities; they have ceased to control, regulate, and guard the system by holding those iu place and power, their servants and ugents, to that accountability nnd strict reckoning that their interest, their duty and their hitherto custom demands. There was a time, when the waste and extravagance of the government, both •State and National, was regarded by tho peoplo who supported them, as matters of concern ; and party, and in dividuals were held accountable and responsible. In those days I)r. Mont gomery beat his opponent far Congress iu this very District because he had, whilo in Congress, voted for an appro priation of five thousaud dollars for .some object which was not considered, by tho people as necessary. How is it I how? Money by the million is appro priated and no quest ion is asked or ex planation offered. Jobs are put up, with scarcely an attempt ut conceal ment, and their fhll exposure is scarce ly interesting matter for campaign pur poses, so careless have the people be come. Corruption and unfaithfulness in office may be charged, and even proven or admitted, and its efl'oct in the election, if it has any, is hardly percept ible. Public opinion and public con demnation are used but feebly, if at all to restrain those in place and power. To a great extent, at least, there is to officers and place men an implied li censo to do as Uioy please, and no ques tions asked. Scarcely a county perhaps that has not furnished evidence of this in some form. There are many reasons for it. We have a large number of voters, who from their ignorance are beyond the reach of reason or argument,— ' who are nothing more than automatons directed by others, to deposit ballots. There are others drawn to these by the circumstance of {heir numbers. Preju dices and matters no tat issue, are sedu lously cultivated, and kept before the people, that tlicir attention may be oc cupied while peculation and fraud arc permit led to flourish. The people are honest. They as a class arc expecting no place and pay. They, if thev so consid ered it, are the masters. They create offices and till ITjtim. It is for tlicir own good and protection they do it. It is their right and duty to hold their agents and servants to account, and when they find them wanting in faithfulness or competency, it is their right and dul*y to signify their disapprobation by re fusing to retain them. To the end tlmt they may exercise this poweF, elections arc frequent. The people have grown too careless. They have been oppressed and victimised-till they seem to ' have forgotten their power. Lctthcni close ly examine the conduct of those, whom they elect, to net for them. Let not | friendship, regard, or anything else per mit their rebuking Unfitness, dishonesty or want of capacity in 'office. Some one does the evil; let them find out and condemn, and we. shall have better times; Carelessness is the fault of the poople, to take advantage of that care lessness is the crime of officials. Let it be understood that to get votes a mail must njcrit support, and that he must Suc cessfully defend himself against dam aging charges or the people will none of him; and we shall have a return ot, competency, faithfulncsss and capabil ity in office. The case is bad, nearly desperate, but it is curable; and remove carelessness, indifference and unjust prejudice from (he people and it is well nigh done. Let not despair produce inaction. You would not,intentionally, do any wrong; then do not fail to watch, to the best of your opportunity, the action of those w r hom you have ele vated to place and power; and, when the time comes, to condemn by your vole, incompetency and unfaithfulness, in any and all, from the President to the smallest officer in your township. If you jail to do this you do not fulfill your duty as a citizen to yourself and and your country. TUB I»ATKO.\N OF lIt'SBAIVDBV The State Grange of this order, as we hcrctofore,announced, met in Raleigh on the 3rd of this month. After a har monious and useful meeting, it adjourn ed on Friday, the sth inst. Different callings have long since had their socie ties and unions, for the better protect ion, and improvement of their particu lar business. That the interest of the fanner should be completely protected, is of the first importance to any conn try. That he should improve in skill as a farmer is scarcely of less conse quence. If he fails all fails; if he is hurt cveiy one must share the suffer ing; unless it is those who inflict the injury. If one bad a large amount of money, and finding farmers pressed, was permitted to lcnditlothem at 20 per cent,, lie might be benefitted, but the farmer and the rest of the commu nity would be hurt, In some localities, years ago, wlion knownothingism swept over the country, tho primitive bap lists, commonly known as iron-sides, turned out their members for joining the knownothings. Subsequent events ha\ e defended the wisdom of the course. We think if we were a granger we would take some step to make it a cap ital felony, so.far as grange Mifo 'was* concerned, for any niau a member of the order, to favor what is called free money, oropposc a stringent usury law. We think it should justly be regarded a crime in a granger. It is certainly at war with tho interests of farmers. Should they punish, in some way allow ed by societies for their government, a member for opi>osing a law agaiust usury, we have no doubt,that time will vindicate their action and show their wisdom. The farmers have already built all the money lenders palatial res idences, furnished them superbly, and thrown in a fortune for them to live on hereafter, while they tlrcinselves are frequently hardly able to buy tfTe old j lady a calico dress without feeling tho loss of the money necessary to pay for it. Il we were in the (irange, we should want to turn any brother out who wautcd to give these bankers and mon ey lenders any more, untljfthc farmers as a class were as comfortably off.- And in so doing we shoukl tmtik We were serving Our order, )he farmer and coun try.

(IIANCG Of ELECTION There is a proposition before the Leg -1 islature to change the time of holding 1 the elections in this State from August to November. We think the change should be made. The Greensboro Pa triot gives ten reasons for it. We shall mention but one, which we think all sufficient. The change would have an effect to produce fair elections and pre vent fraud and .illegal voting. If there has been fraud and illegal voting and this change would, to any considerable extent,deteat it then it should be made. Our elections, as they now stand, are throe months belore the elections in Virginia and South Carolina. That a large number of negroes living near 1 he line, both betwen this State and Vir ginia, and this State and South Caroli na, have, not only occasionly voted in two States, but have been in the habit of so doing is a fact of which a great many feel entirely satisfied. That these negroes are taken charge of by white republicans, either by themselves or by agents, and voted is equally true. If our elections occurred on the same day with those of our adjoining States, thi? conld not exist. In these days, ths democratic party has little, or no pro tection against illegal votes for the re publican party, save in rendering it, as nearjv as can be, impossible for illegal votes to be cast. The negroes have, as a rule, n'o perceptible sense of right and wrong in the matter. They do as they are bid. Many republicans would not procure the casting of illegal votes, but many of them would; and these latter are generally prominent in run ning the elections. The negro in this respect lias made himself their slave, and they use him. He does just as they tell liini; provided lie lias sense to understand his instructions. He can scarcely be said to possess individuality even physically, and certainly not men tally. He will shout at the success Leaguer, or a Ku-Klux, just as ho is directed by his master, the white repub-1 lican, and ask no questions. The defeat of* a democrat by illegal republican votes or fraud is by many applauded as a virtuous action. To the parties, in terested in accomplishing it, it gives distinction and eharacter for shrewdness and valuable services as party worker. To succeed in getting illegal votes polled is accounted a good joke—something to make merry over, and congratulate themselves upon, by many of the active republican campaigners. Many negroes can scarcely be said to have any settled place of residence. They can claim a home in Virginia or North Carolina with about equal reasons therefor, and vote in either State, with apparent equal right so to do. They should be forced to confine thejr votes to one. The confining voters to their own town ships did much to prevent frauds. To have the elections in our State on " the same day they are in Virginia and South Carolina, would prevent many negroes from being brought from those States to vote here, and then returned, to the State from which they came, to deposit another republican ballot when the election there comes on. That this mode of swelling the republican vote in this State has been resorted to is cer tain ; that it will be resorted to hereaf ter unless rendered impossible, is equal-1 ly, eertain. AVe owe ityto fair elections,! to commo'n honesty, and to the demo cratic party, or whatever party may sutler from it, to prevent this fraudu lent and illegal voting as far as possi ble. To change the time of holding our elections as proposed is the best practi cable means wesee to accomplish that end. A .TIVMTEKIOI'N AFFAIR. Thinking it possible that a wide and thorough circulation of all the particu lars might lead to the identification of the unfortunate, and discover his friends and relatives and those who loved him, wo publish the following account from the Wilmington Journal. > Coroner Hewlett held an inquest 011 Sunday last over the body of the un known white man spoken of by us 011 Saturday as having been found in the NOl East Cape Fear,,near Cat Island, a tew miles above the city.—The body was conveyed to Rock Ilill, a short dis tance above the Island, where thein auest was held. An examination of 19, body showed that deceased had come to his death from a pistol shot, the ball having penetrated the left breast about one inch below the nipple. It appeared to be a ball from a Colt revolver. The body had evidently been in the water for two months orTonoer, but there was not the.slightest evidence elicited which would point to the iden tity of the man. Deceased, who was apparently between 40 and 50 years old, was dressed in a blue broadcloth frock coat, a dark chinchilla overcoat, aud light striped pants. On the body were found a doubje case gold watch, 18 karats, patent lever, jeweled, Rich ards & Co., No. 24,631, a gold collar bnttou, a gold nectie ring, st.4o in money* and two rings, one plain gold and the other with a set, the hitter con taining the following inscription: "Re member your promise, darling Ned. August 4th, 1874," The verdict of the fury was to the effect that deceased came to his death by a pistol shot wound, inflicted by some person unknown to tbejury. • ( ( There is a complete mystery shroud ing the whole affair No papers were found on the deceased, and there is literally nothing, thus far, that will Bcrvo to identify him. THE wirru-UP* Cloning Njrncn of l.'lrd f#ngre«»—Con- TiiHion IVorio Confoiimtt'd—Blalnc'n Valedictory) Etc., Etc. 7". [Special to Baltimore Suu.] WASHINGTON, March 4.„ Both Houses of Congress remained in continuous session all night and up to the hour of noon to-day, when the spectators kept watch in the galleries all •through the night. By ten o'clock this morning the entire Capitol binding was tilled up with spectators, and the gal leries were packed as tight as possible. For many hours before the adjournment buisincss was carried on with great difficulty in both the Senate and the House, and it was said that so much disorder had never before prevailed in the lormcr body. ~The din and fusion, the loud talking and the strug gling for precedence on the floor were such that presiding officer of neither house could keep order. The Senate was occupied the entire higfht with the appropriation bills, not finishing the last of them till jong past daylight. Then they were immediately sent to conference committees, w aud the conference reports on all of thcm.worc concurcd in without opposition, the last of the series having been acted upon before 11 o'clock to-day. Senator Mor ton did not stay during the night, hav ing no further interest in the proceed ing when he found lie could not tack the Force bill on to an appropriation bill. His absence made the Democratic Senators comparatively easy, for they knew that no one else was likely to move "to take up the bill. After the appropriation bills were out of the way, it was agreed that unobjected bills on the I calender'should be acted on. The noise I was so great that bill after bill was acted on without any Senator but the one that called it up hearing any more of it than the title. In this way a num ber of bills slipped through, which in the ordinary course of buisiness would i have been successfully resisted. — Among such one to make women eligible to membership in the Medical Society of this District, and several measures which came under the class of jobs. Senator Morton then came in about ten o'clock this morning. Every movement lie made was then closely watched by the Democrats, who did not know but he might in the con fusion seek to rush the Force bill through.' But all the measures Mr. Morton asked to take up were entirely liarmlesss, and lie did not mention the Force bill once. 3y the hour of noon the calender oftho Senate was pretty well cleared. The President was at his room in .flic Senate wing early in the morning, aud before the adjournment signed nearly 150 bills The Clerks were kept very busy in run ning from the House side to the Senate, side with the bills, all of which must be signed by the Speaker and Vice Presi dent before they are presented to the President for his signature. A few bills which had passed both houses failed because of the want of time get to the President. The Vice-President was very nervous, and was not rapid enough in fixing his signature to the bills to please three or four Senators, who a ded to his embarrassment by handing him, out of their order, bills to sign in which.they were interested. Mr. Wilson simply rapped his gavel and declared the Senate adjourned sine die. Then there was a rush of outsid ers into the Senate chamber, which fill ed up so that it was difficult to move about. The Senators whose terms ex pired to-day, and who were not re-elect ed, werfe busy packing up their effects. It was not until two hours after that the chamber was deserted. Speaker Blaine, in declairing the House adjourned sine die, took the occasion to signalize his retirement from the chair, which he has filled for six years, by a neat and well-timed speech. The scene as he delivered his farewell was most striking. The gal leries were soover-crowded that a large number ot ladies had been adyiittcd to floor, and their rich costumes, thickly sprinkled among the members made a most brilliant scene. The ut most stillness prevailed while he spoke, in his clear, ringing tones, and many leant over to look at the man who was to take hjs place oil the floor in the midst of the turbulent spirits who have given liiui so much; trouble to restrain. When the Speaker concluded there im j mediately went up a loud and long con i tinued hurrah, accompanied by the clapping ot hands, and the waving of | handkerchiefs. This demonstration of good-will, for it was universal,-affected Air. Blaine visibly, and he did not un dertake to hide his emotion. The Forty-third Congress was a body of the | past when Mr. lHaine left his chair. [ But the members seemed loth to leave j the see lies with which thev were so family, and they and their friends . staid in the hall conversing for a long time.-Here, t#, as in the Senate, those who were not re-elected occupied them selves in packing up their, books and . papers*. j 4 THE SPKAKEB J [Baltimore Gar,ejte, Bth.] Unquestionably Mr. Randall has to day a larger lollowing thau any of the candidates for the speakership' yet an nounced,although many members (those from the South in particular) have de clined to commit themselves. As a South j crn man will not be selected for this position the Southern members will be free to exercise their choice, and con versations with a large number of them indicate that that choice will be Mr. Randal. Kerr will, of course, have the support ot the western members, while Messrs. Cox and Wood if they re main in the field, must necessarily divide the New York delegation. Mr. Randall starts with the Pennsylvania delegation at his back. It is understood that, tailing himselt to receive the nom ination Mr, Wood will then use his in fluence in favor of Mr Randall. Should Mr. Cox follow Mr. Wood's example Mr. Randall would be certain of the prize; but should Mr. Cox's friends sup port Mr. Kerr the struggle would proba bly be a close one. Rev. Thomas Hume, Sr., an aged Baptist minister, died in Portsmouth. Va., Monday Bth inst. ~ TIIK FRAIVKINO FIIAI'D. Tlie franking privilege lias been re stored by Congress, so far as public documents, agricultural reports and seeds are Concerned. Ilere is what the New York World thinks and* says abont it. 1 . It is not uijjikcly that the franking of letters is postponed a year as a graceful concession to colored Congressmen,who may industriously devote the interval to learning to write; but the immense fraud of franking speeches, agricultural reports and seiMs begins at ouce, with all the opportunities and enormities the scheme suggests. The more important messages, and even speeches made in Congress, arc printed in the newspapers weeks and sometimes months before they are issued from the Public Printing Office. From that source they come at last, printed in the' poorest ink upon the flimsiest of paper, yet every copy costing the country as if it were an original folio of •' Shakes peare" of 1G23. Enormous sums of money are absolutely thrown away solely to favor interested parties. No public document is worth one thous andth part of what it is made to cost .flic country. Not one in ten thousand is worth printing at all." As for the " agricultural reports" which are spec ified with such particularity and favor, it is fortunate that the misinformation as to what the farmer should do in June reaches him generally in (he following February, and so saves him from ruin. -If the directions issued from the Wash ton agriculturists were closely followed, I the rural regions of land would soon | become a second Sahara. With regard j I to the seeds, apart from the widespread dissemination of pestiferous weeds, it becomes a serious inquiry if the eggs of the Colorado beetle and of the Nebraska locust (erroneosly called by the Wash ington agriculturists a grasshoper") | were not originally issued from that bureau and scattered throughout the West as " seeds?" Already Belgium is protesting against the importation of our potatoes,and if the Agricultural De partment continues its disastrous work, our entire crops will have such an ento moligical reputation as to prevent their export altogether. The franking fraud favors the continuance of the worthless seedrshop; it keeps up the costly Print ing Bureau with its fat contracts for favorites; it promotes the dissemination of worthless speeches and more wort h jess seeds. It is a fraud that fatJiors a hfipdred frauds; and instead of ueing restored, "Jt should be abolished altogether and forever. ARAIiEIGII NEKRO O.N A CIVII, KM;HTM RAJIPAGIi, The Raleigh Sentinel gives the fol lowing. That negro wac, suffering for the new law: A Raleigh negro waiter at the Ex change Hotel annouced on Sunday eve ning where the landlady happened to hear him, that he was going to Savan nah, Georgia where a negro was a white man. At 5 o'clock Ben. BritchfQrd's carriage stood in front of the Exchange. The civil rights waiter with $7 in pocket ordered Ben to put on his trunk, which_ order was obeyed, and when seated the' Affghan was tucked around his shins to keep off the rain. He had declared his intent to ride in the ladies car, to get supper at Mrs. Troy's at MorrisvilJe,and to occupy the best bed at the Beiibow in Greensboro. When the whistle blew he was seated in the ladies car, keeping his word; when the train halted before Mrs. Troys eating house, he walked in witn the other passengers, members of the Legislature and Conductor Spraggins. Mrs. Troy inquried of agentleman what she must do. You cau't help yourself Madam, give him his supper, was the " reply. When supper Avas over he drew his cigars and being on the squat order, he reached up to a tall gentleman's lips and begged alight. "You d—m black rascal, 1 will stamp the life outofyou." said the gentleman, whose lips were near being kissed bv the negroes fingers. At Durliams the civil rights rampager walked to the platform aud asked for Tom Johson, the negroes addressed did no t know such a man. Tell him, said the rampager, I passed in the ladies car. Tell him who passed? said one. A gentleman on his way to hell, was the reply. I think, said one of the Durham negroes, you might put on some man ners if you are on vour way "to hell. You may go on, said another..negro, they are waiting for you. Said the Kalelgh negro alter these rebukes, tell him Mayor Twitty passed on his way to Savannah. The' w histe blew and on flew Mayor Twitty, whether her slept in the best bed at the Benbow, or went on where they were waiting for him, is a matter for the Greensboro Patriot to in vestigate and report. The New York Tribune thinks that Senator-elect AndrewMohnsou will ev idently be the most into resting figure in the next Congress. Political cir cles are full of speculations as to his probable line of conduct, and several plans of action have already been sug gested to him. The latest one is from the St. Lous Republican, as follows: /It need not: surprise anybody to sec Andrew Johnson take the floor of the" I Senate shortly after.it convenes, with | a speech letting forth (grant's abuses of ! the appointing power and the political uses which havo been made of Federal office-holders contrary to all, morality decency in public affairs. Nor need anybody be startled if, at the conclusion of this speech, which will be, likely to be read by the most of the people in the United States with great interest, Mr. Johnson should ofter a bill for the re enactment of the tenure-of-oflice law. It is not by any means impossible that snch a programme wifisucceed, and that as a consequence Mr. Grant will find him self forced to-sit an unwiling spectator of a perfectly free and fair election in 1876, without so much as the power to ppoiot one single superserviceable dep uty marshal to dragoon the citizens of the mallest town in the South, or to put j a hand to the wheel-worn crank of the broken-down and useless outrage mill. It would be a very sVI spectacle for urant himself »o contemplate, but we think a-great majority of the people of the United States would gaze upon it with the sereuest and most pro ound satisfaction.*" ADVERT ISEMENTS.
