THE GLKANKR GRAHAM N. C_, DECEMBER 10 1879 K. 8. PARKER, Editor. Senator Harris, ot Tennessee, has in troduced a bill to change Ibe manner of appointment ot deputy marshals. It pro- Tides that they shall be appointed by tbe Judges, and selected from the Democrats as well as Republicans. As an evindenee of the revival of busi ness we notice that tbe employees of some et tbe railroads north bate had tlieir wage* increased from five to ten per eent, without even a request on their part. This looks healthy. Tlte exodos of negroes from this State to tie Northwest seems to have set in. We notice that considerable numbers are leaving Lenoir county, and that tbe in* situation to go is spreading. We fieel nothing but pity for the poor deluded ereatures, going to a strange laud so poorly provided as they generally are when they start. Dire want, and great sufiering awaits most of them. WepnblMi in this issue a communica tion u |K>II the subject of tbe stock law, or no fence law as it is sometimes called. It is needless tor us to say that commu nications upon ail subjects of interest to our readers are published, without refs eronee to our opinion upon the snbjeet treated. As tbe stock law is Just now being considered by some of our readers ■we will say that our columns are open to its discussion* whether we see fit to take a baud or not. ■ lira. It Is said that so many, great and glar ing were tbe irregularities in tbe recent election in Maine, that tbe Governor and l>is council, in tbe final count, will de clare tbe result In favor of a Democratic majority of the Senate and perhaps both hooses ot tbe Legislatnre. Tbe RepublK tempted a little ball dosing, bbt Gar celon. the Governor don't appear to be easily intimidated.* The Republicans are making a groat fuss over it. '4 i liJCWW - On Monday the first day of this month, Louisiana elected a Governor, ana other Bute officers, members of the Legisle* ture, and voted upon tbe adoption of the new constitution, prepared by a State Convention, recently in session. Tbe election is reported as an unusually quiet one for any State. The Democrats ear ried the State by some twenty thousand majority, and ratified the new const ft ns tlon, by not so great a majority however. It is now thought that the final eonnt fn Now York will elect Rptter, tbe Demo cratic candidate, Lieut. Gov. His oppos nent is only claimed to have a majority of 287, and it Is said that votes east for C. N. Potter to a greater number than that have been thrown oat. His name is Clarkson N. and the failure to give in lull one christian name was made tbe oe« casion to throw oat tbe votes. We re> member a worse ease than that decided in favor of a Republican by Democrats iu this State. The Readjustees have a dear majori ty in the legislature of Virginia, when they combine with the Republicans, which they sppear to have done. This coalition succeeded in organizing both houses. It is undeiatood that a clean sweep wßt be made in all the ofinee within the power of the Legislatue, and that whenever the combination can do say Demomocrata will be removed and tin ir places parceled out between the Re adjusters and Republcans. The out look for General Mahone, the leader of the Readjusters, tego to the Unitnd StaW, Senate appears to befvery good. We hij i we shall hear no more of Demoorat* ic repudiators m the Southern States from Republican speakers and newspa per". C«KUIMANDT» PUMURTS MISSAOr. Congress met a week ago last Monday. The President's message and its disposi tion and comments upon it form the hulk of congressional news. The mee sage is long.and well written, MM! con tains many things about which there can be no dispute or controversy. Many of its Moomtoendations appear to us to be good. Tbe most important feature, and the one soonest snapped at by poli ticians is tbe clause upon the finanoes. He wishes the Secretary of the Treas ury authorised to suspend the ooinage of the silver dollar upon th» present legal ratio: and he also wishes to retire from circulation the present United States Treasury notes with legal tender capaci ty. These views of tbe President will not be sustained by his own party in Congress, and Senator Carpenter, one of the oHest Republican Senators at once introduced a resolution is conflict with tWe Pmidenta express recommen* ktk>n«4fkm the financial question. The message urge* a vigorous execn* tlon of the lav against {tolygasoy in and additional legislation upon the sub ject. It i* quite hefty on the subject of civil service reform, and if the country could forget the reoent past, the Fresi* dent night be credited with zeal and earnestness in that direction. He con* gratuUtes the country upon the balance in its favor with foreign nations, and upon the return of prosperity and at* tributes it all to Hayes, John Sherman and resumption. Taking it all in all, it is quite a respectable State p*pw, and contains much information. Its length 1 prevents our printing it entire, or giving even a summary of it, and if we did, th« same reason would prevent our readers from reading it. We may recur to por* tions of it again, and from tiase to time.. Congress iLet ou the first Monday of this month. In obedience to law and usnge tbe President bad prepared an elaborate message to be presented to the assembled law makers for their in for ma lion and guidance. What It contained was a matter of conjecture,to be made car lain only npon its presentation to Con* gress. Until this instanea the message of the President never found publicity nntil it was road, or at least received by Congress. Dot Blr. Hayes bad friends around him who wished to make some* thing ont of this message, and they pur* sued tbe only possible oourae to do so— thuy stole copies ot it and sold to tbe newspapers for five hundred dollars a piece. The New York Timet, tbe Chin eago Time s and Cincinnati Enquirer bought. Hayes is said to be mad about it. Before Congress met tbe Message was printed In' tbe leading newspapers, and every member ot Congress bad, or might have bad, a copy in his pocket. We think tbe newspapers, that doubtless for in. spectiun, iiavo ran son to be- maat and perhaps wen when they read their costly purobase. • MI cßivava, We find in the Charlotte Obterver % letter from Hon. W, L. Steel concerning 1 the taking of the census next year which will be intereeting to someofonr renders; and BO we publish it; Inasmuch u the supervisors' districts bare been laid off by the Secretary of the Interior, and many persona are interested in knowing in what district they are )p» cated I take the liberty of giving the in formation through the only daily paper published in the sixth congressional dis trict. The supervisors of the census are appointed by the President, with the ap proval of tbe Senate, and the enumera tors (or census takers) by the supervise ors. As tbe President will doubt lees consult Genl. Francis A. Walker, the superintendent, all persons desiring ap pointments by him should address their applications according fortified with such testimonials of tlnir character and fitness as they may choose to give. Per* sons wishing to aot as numerators should apply to the district supervisor. There will be one cenens taker for every 4,000 inhabitants, and tbe compensation will probably vary from $l2O to SBSO, de> pending upon circumstances. All of their work is required to be done in the month ol June. Both positions being of great importance, men of business qualifications, and no others should be appointed. If the newspapers will again publish the substance of the law on tbe subject, and it is read by persona interested, it will save thsm and me eome troafais and expense. Ilia supervisors will pro* bably be appointed within the next three months. District I—ls composed of tbe counties of Beaufort, Bertie, Camden, Carteret, Chowan, Craven, Cutrkuck, Gates, Greene, Hartford, Hyde, Jones, Lenoior, Martin, Pamlico, Pasquotank, Perqui mans, Pitt, Tyrrell, and Washington. Distriot 3—Alamance, Chswell, Chat* bam, Davidson, Davie, Edgecombe, for* ! ay the, Franklin, Granville, Guilford, Ualilax, Iredell, Johnston, Hash, Nors, thampton, Orange, Person, Randolph, Rockingham, Rowan, Stokes, Wake, Warren, Wayne, and Wilson. District 3—Anson, Bladen, Brans* wiok, Cabarrus, Catawba, Columbus, Cumberland, Dunlin, Gaston, Harnett, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Montgomery, Moore, New Hanover, Onslow, Pender, Richmond, Robeson, Sam peon, Stanly and Union. District 4—Cleavtland, Burke, Alex* ander, Wilkes, Yadkin, Surry, and all the counties west of them. ' Very respectfully, Your ob'fc serv't, WALTER L. STKXLK. Genl. Scales, Chairman of the House Committee on Indian Affairs, is pre paring n resolution directing his com mittee to Investigate the Indian ques tion, and the senses which led to the recent Ute outbreak. The General thinks that if tbe investigation is order* ed his committee will report in favor of transferring the Indian Bureau to the control of the War Department. He will introduce tho resolution at the first opportunity.—The Observer. MBIBMM AMDfTAIKI. . The following which we clip from Weekly will be of interest to all and ie worth remembering.. It furnisiies something to think about when coiuider . lug the merits of the two parties: In the Union Republican, a Republic can paper printed at Winston, we Had the following:— "Facts bob thb People.— North Car olina haa bad fk Democratic Legislature for lea years, and the taxes are now higher I baa ever. It waa a Democratic Convention, under a Democratic State policy, that deprived the people of the privilege of choosing their owu magifr* frates, county commissioners and other county officers. Will the people please remember?" The Republican, we take It for gran ted, knew nothing of its own knowledge in regard to taxes. Its statement is sim ply a repetition of the first Boom, that which created so great a stir last winter. ? The remark about the present syMem ol county government Is a] response to the second or Mud* Cut Boom, Inciting the West to repudiate its |>an of tlie com* K raise with the Kast, as the Mud Cut >m seeks to excite tlie East to break its plighted faith with the West. This work accomplished, tlie West loses its railroad: the East, tlie railroad in which its intereet is at least as great as the West's interest, and iu addition, goes back to lite horrors of negro local rule from which the Convention of 1875 set it free. And tar beyond these mate rial result*, I 'there is the Broken filth ' of each section, pledged solemly to lira oth er I , ! Tt& the same effect is tbe Mud-Cut Boom, Junior, elsewhere priuted, aud in which we are told: "There is a spirit of inquiry now per-1 vading tbe Democratic ranks of North Carolina. * • * This inquiry seeks to know what becomes of our State taxes." Tbe answer to both the Eastern and tbe Western oomplainant is to be made with figures, which either can verify at \ any moment. The property tax levied by the Radi cal* for collection in 1869 was 77 cents. For collection in 1870 it was 354 cents, hnt a deficiency of •100,000 was left to be made up by tbe Democrats then coming into control of tbe Legislature. W itli this deficiency to be supplied, the Dem» ocratic Legislature ot 1870 levied a tax for General Fond, Asylums and Peni tentiary of 42 cents; in 1871, 35; in 1872, 35; in 1873, Sl|; in 1874, 29|; in 1876-77 ; in 1879, 24 cents. It strike* us that the Republican ha* been led « r,. V ' lake.' • " And now to let tbe junior Boom know what "becomes ot our State taxes." The la*t Auditor* report (that for this year is not yet out) put* the dilbursments of taxes recieved at #586,187.07.

Tbe message of Mr. Hayes and the important reports of De partments bad been sold hi advance to newspapers, and not only tbe Senators and representative bot tbo crowd in tbe gallery were already informed of its con teats before tbo formal reading commenc- Of tbe message Itself k may bo said tbat there U little in H bat routine mat ters. Foreign relations are pleasant, tbe country is prosperous Ac. There are two or tbree subjects treated at length which are of exceptional interest. Mr. Hayes recommends tbo retirement of ail the Greenbacks. This unresist* bly reminds one of tbe Vermont man, who, having murdered his father spent the rest of bis life praising him. Until the inooming or Mr, Hayes and bis Cab* inet comparatiuely little was known of tbe violations ot official propriety by oo cupants of tbe White House end high Government officials. Mr. Hayes com* menced by getting Stanley Mathews ins to tbe Senate in place ot Garfield, and has meddled with nearly every political contest that has eccured in Ohio since His Cabinet officials have stumped tbe Stftte urodiffftlly. This is not an entirely now recom mendation for a Republican Executive, Groat having ssked tbat in oertaiU cases that tbo legal tender quality ho taken from this class ot paper, and Secret a vies Bristow and Morrill or Maine favored tbe oomplete destruction of this circula tion. But tbe position of Mr. Hayes on this subject has not been well understood until very lately. Both be and Beeretary Sherman were very reticent until after tbe Fall elections. Mr Hayes sayo roach for civil service reform. As to what Congress will do. lit lie can be said with certainty. Both parties will bo governed almost wholly by their respective caucuses, to be bold this week. Of coarse the appropriation bills will be i*asse»t, but, I hope with* amounts largely reduced from the esti« tmates. I wish to repeat what so ofteu lias been raid, and w j, # t ] a known to every old Washinartonian, that every Department coats too much. 1 believe ft* reasonable salaries, and in plenty of officers to transact tlie public business. Bat at present, and for the last fifteen Tears, at least we have had too many officers, and employer*, and far to mil try authorized ways of squandering public money. « No bills wore Introduced yesterday, and, except nnder a suspension of tiie rules, none «so be In the House until next Monday. Mr. Kelly, will however to-day attempt to get before the Honse • bill denying, the right of the Executive to conclude a treaty which shall fix rates of duties on important articles. The bill to create the office of Captain Gens eral wttt be introduced at the earliest opportunity. Transfer ot the Indian Bureau to the War Department will be urged at once. This Bureau, as well as others of Ibe Interior Department is not believed by any one to be efficiently conducted. HILTON. Gkk. McDowald Snubbed.—Genl. John McDonald, who waa a prominent member of tbe whisky ring, ia said to have been badly snubbed by tien. Grant at Chicago. A Western pa|ier aay* that McDonald insisted upon seeing Grant, and upon being shown into th? room ads vnnced with ontatretohed hand in hia impulsive style. Grant gaVa no sign of recognition beyond a stolid look, and did not take the proffered hand. The caller exclaimed, with some snrpriae, U I am Johnnia McDonald. Don't you I know me?" Grant replied.* "No, sir; I don't know yon, and don't want to know you." Berry RnaaeN, formerly president of the Bank of La Fayette, was indictetHn New Orleans for embezzling bonds and money of the bank in June 1878. He is already nnder bond of $78,000 to an swer a criminal charge connected with the bank. Dr. H. P. VVahl was also in dieted tor attempting to set fire to his own residence lust August. Tlios. Boland, inspector of elections in New "iork, has boea convicted of falrely and fraudently issuing certificates of the votes caat for Aldernuui in 1818, and sentenced to two years in State* prison. ja* ...
