Carnep recently and waa success ' fnU - Tbo Postmaster General has issued an order, prohibiting raechants, man ' nfacturerg. inventors and their agents ftoro sending through the mails, prin :ui. advertising Cards, of various hapos and sizes, with one cent stamp aflbcod. Justice Swayne, of the U. S. Su preme Court denies that he ever wrote the opinion of the Garfield matter at tributed to him, ' The charge against Garfield . however, of receiving the 15000 in the De Golyer paving con tract, is not affected by this denial, nd remains the same. Dr. Tanner, the Champion faster, wntinues to receive all sorts of letters, jmpathctic. scientific and other-vise. Of the former class, the Govcrment Officeholders, at Washington City., were the last, to offer their sympathy. They say, they "know how it is to eke out nn existence on a diet of water." THE DKMOCRAXlCCASirAIGf We clip the foUofing sensible ar ticle under the aboveWcaption from the New York Herald of a recent date. Whila there is nothing -wt it to dis courage the most ardent democrat, - there is much to casuc the unreflecting to consider well tho strength of the enemy we have to meet. It is very -.gratifying to witness the enthusiasm with which the democratic nomination has been hailed throughout the country, also the numerous defections of leading republicans and their hearty endorse ment of Hanccck and English. But it should not be forgotten that we have to encounter "a powerful proud, coni- ,pact organixation." with all the power and patronnge c-f the government atits disposal. Governor Lyman Trumbull of Illinois uttered the keynote to the Canvass when he said m the recenti demoratic convention of that State. It is not Garfield- and Arthur, but the public an party we have to defeat. he Herald says : : To trust the talk in their conferences d the boasts in their newspaper or 40S one would imagine that thd can st is a "walk over." that the four in vening months before election are ut as one day," and that all that re ins to be done by or for Gen, Jlan k is to pack his trunk and sit on lid, waiting for an expressman to ck it to Washington and deliver it he White House. ' The powerful, proud, compact organ- ? tlon of the Republican", Rushed with 1 - fite. successive preaidentiaf triumph. I experienced in all the method by, which electoral result are -achieved i and led I y sag? c ous politicians, whose office, emoluments, influence, reputa tion, all hang in the balanceis not to be 'ousted hy a mcc hurrah or by the beating -of tom tomt : The wills of its Jericho will not tumble at tfie blast of ranis horn, and its ramparts are are left to the judgment, favor or ca held by veteran troops directed by ' price of the people. It is of the ut compctent commanders. Does any j most irciortanc therefore that they satie and sobr Democrat want to com- j should be careful in the selection of prehend tlie strength of the Kepubli can 1 their lawmakers. array which must be met and vanrinish-, ed before a Democratic President ran reach the the White Jloue? Lat him remember the magnificient persistence with which Gen. Grant's delegates sus tained his cause in the Chicago con vention : let him also remember the skill with which thir solid square was flanked in the rapid manoeuvre which resulted in Gen, Garfbld's .nomination an J then let him n fleet that all the formidable political .fighting qualities which .were'dif played on. "both sides in tht combat will be united in this can vass as North and South. East and West in our common country, wha'cver their domestic sectional discordances, would unite against a foreign enemy, If Gen. Grant had been successful at Chicago, perhaps Democrats might have counted upon a dissolution of the Republican organization some what liko that which befell their own in 1HC0. lint it U useless' to speculate about a collapsed contingency. The occasion for a break-up was avoids 1, and 'every Republican faet'on is form ing into a common line of battle. iMitrv i.vrKUKrri'. The State is now democratic In all its departments-, and its remaining so, depends upon whether tlie party is true to its principles and shows itself worthy of the people's confidence. ') If it neglects its organization and thus encourages discord and division, the ambition and selfishness, of would be leaders, may ultimately break it down. This danger must be jealously guarded against. The people : must look to it and look to il continually.' From the da3s of Thomas Jefferson until now the path of the democratic party has been strewn with the wrecks of apos- tales am traitors. - And this must Qver be scj as long as, it subordinates As long as it dis- men to principles. courages personabsm in politics and insists upon, and maintains a rigid pafty organization. Who that remem bers those dark days the years of anxiety and suffering that intervened between the close of the war and the restoration of the democratic party to power, can be indifferent to the im portance: of party integrity and the value of party organization. HIX l liKK 3T. V- KAILSCOAD. Considerable uneasiness has been felt along tho line of the Western North Carolina railroad in consequence of the prolonged absence of Mr. i Rest in New York. Whatever the financial troubles may have been, which have occasioned his protracted absence, Mnj. Wilson assures the public through the Charlotte Observe)', that his con tract will be carried out and all the different payments met, in a few days. This -will'. be gj$tifyiog news to the employees of ihi road and other cred itors, who have very naturally felt a deep concern in his movements of late. V'' Major Wilson, now in New York telegraphs the Observer as follows : "From unforeseen circumstances Mr. Rest has been delayed in meeting his obligations in connection with the Western North Carolina Railroad, but I have no hesitaucy in saving that his contract will b carried out and pay ments met in a few days." This assurance ought to and doubt less will satisfy . all the parties xuot interested and tlie. public generally, The beginning of active operations it is to be hoped will not be much longer 4 delayeJ. , ' ' . XIJK LDGISHTOR. AH history,, sacred and profane 'unites in investing1 the legislator with attributes and awarding to him honors, rarely vouchsafed to other benefactors of mankind. The victories of the con queror soon came to be remembered as among the things that were, but I - ; the success of the lawgiver leaves an impress that deepens and widens for ever. The laws of Solon. Numa, Jus tinian and Alfred, whatever may be their merits or defects when compared with tlie standards of the present day hare given to their names an imperish able fame. Great lawgivers appear-but at rare ds history. Plato, intervals in thewor Cicero and the. cerebrated John Licke indulged in speculations beautiful in theory, but of no practical utility, be cause they presupposed mankind to be in a state of perfection which had no existence. The true legislator looks at mankind as they are. and frames his system of taws to suit the existing state of things. What society wants i practical leg- ' -! - ' ' "' 1 . islntion, legislation adapted to exist- ing circumstances, wants ami ncceaa;- ties, and a a consequence, legislators whose knowledge and acquirements enable them to comprehend ana pro vide for those, wants and necessities. Our constitution provides no test for the skill, science or capacity f our leg islators. Those arc rpnlities which Not mere party ' service; local pop ularity or .personal preference, should be allowed to determine so important a question. A higher standard of qualification than that which has here tofore been observed 'should be re quired. All class prejudices should b discountenanced and every sugges tion of demagogism should be silent before the all important cousidi ration "is he worthy and wdl qualified." It is not difficult to demonstrate that i he business of legislation shonld be entrusted mainly to men having a practical knowledge of the subject. Until at least a majority of that class are to be found in our legislature, we need not expect to have wise, consis tent or systematic laws. On the con trary we may expect a continual state of doubt, uncertainty and confusion in our laws, as the result of the haste, carelessness and inefficiency with which legislation is conducted. We may expect our courts to be continually called upon after ever)' session of the Legislature, to pronounce some of its laws unconstitutional, and our reports to be filled with decisions upon the construction of statutes to explain and reconcile co.itrad ictions and to make sense of absurdities. We requiro a certain amount of skill in all trades and professions. No one would go to a common blacksmith to have a steam-engine made.or a!(tiuker to mend a watch or to regulate and ad just its delicate machinery. Equally absurd is the idea which seems to pre- -1 l l ; ' . . , van mat anyone is compeien; to De a legislator, provided he is a clever fellow, a large landed proprietor, a good Doctor o- a successful Merchant. It requires capacity and learning, varied and profound; as well to make. as to expound .and administer, the law. To be a legislator in its 'highest sense, requires the highest degree of capacity, industry and general know ledge. He should have a knowledge of the constitution. - and be familiar with its history and the principles ap plicable to its construction. He should have a knowledge of previous legisla tion. He should be able to frame a statute conveying his full idea and meaning in the fewest and yet aplest words, avoiding all ambiguity of sense or application, involving no conlradic. tions or inconsistences, meeting the exact necessity of the case, and while providing against one evil, create Tno other. A large portion of the time of the legislature would not be occupied then, as it is now, in repealing and amend ing the laws enacted at a previous session, and ia perpetuating from year to year an endtess series of patch work legislation without plan or sys tem, and; requiring ;ontinual revision and amendment. The evil is apparent undeniable. JFill the people remedy it by selecting more competent legis The democratic lators in the future? people owe it to the party to which they, profess to belong, to select at least in those counties where there is a probability of republican opposition their best canvasser and ablest men, without regard to the profession or occupation which they follow. rouiitALoiiis, Hon. A. M. W'addell, of this State addressed the Democratic tate Con vention of Vermont last Wednesday. Judge Buxton sent his resinalion to the Governor last Friday, which was accepted. It takes effect August 1st. Hon. John Goode says Hancock can carry Virginia by 20000 majority in any contingency. In the event of a compromise, which does not seem pro bable, he puts the Democratic majoritv at 50,000. A Raleigh Netis special, dated Ke nansville, July 24th. says : "Had a grand time to-day.
