There' is about as much truth, in this last estimate as there was in Keogh's former statement that this stale was solid for Granf. j We-notice that some of the Jarvis pa pers are writhing and squirming over the fact that the Governor in the legis lature of 1868 voted for the bill con firming the ipecial tax bonds.

" , " ' - , the power to select the delegates ; from the Congressional Districts, is one of the first questions to be decided by the National Convention at Chicago. That arrogant body, the Illinois State Con vention, had the presumption to elect delegates not only from those who had not elected but from ten of. the Con gressional Districts in Illinois, which, had already elected their delegates. Sueh arrogant assumption of power has never before been assumed in any state. The custom is uniform in-all the states for either a state convention or some authority equivalent to a state commit-, tee to select the delegates at large, and either the district conventions or com mittees to select the delegates from districts. Sometimes the state conven tion's seperate into - districts and each selects their own delegates. In this state this year, instead of calling astate convention, which' would have been inconvinienton account ot the size of the state, by common consent the state committee selected the delegates at large, and, as it happened, all the del- firmed by the senate was up, and the debate was participated in by Mr Hoar, Mr. bayard, Carpenter, Edmunds, Tel ler, Hampton, Butler, Thurman and Conkling. Mr. Hoar castigated Hamp ton and Butler on the subject of frauds in South Carolina and tissue ballots, and Hampton and Butler declared that tissue ballots were a Republican in vention, but admitted . that they had been used by the Democrats of Charles ton. They also asserted that the col ored voters of the south were fond cf Democratic rule, and that tens of thou sands of them were good Democrats. Mr. Hoar was told that his state should have a smaller number of Representa tives, because 136,000 of its adult male inhabitants were disfranchised by an educational qualification.

In the Herald we find aii account of one hundred colored People from Ar kansas and North Carolina who are about to sail on'tbe ship Liberia to the African Republic, who were, paying their passage with their own money. Among them the Herald writer descri bes an old cold colored man from New- berne named Decatur Bennett, of whom he sava . Early in he afternoon there were a number of a Colored people on the dock, and among them was a man of striking J proof of the exceptionally high "posi mains ot a woman wh had been buried in her richest attire, it being still J pos sible to trace the dress, which had been inter woven with gold threadAcross the chest were laid two bands with a kind of gold lace, on the top of which again were laid some ornaments com j posed of colored glass beads, some hav ing an puter shell of gold Uaf, and sev eral cut , like diamonds,- as . well as a" small perforated silver coin. Tx the left of the body was found a knife, a pair of scissors, a small whetstone, (for needles,) and a small glass, cup, which was broken. ;in pieces. : In the torn d was also found the remains of a wooden ; pail with iron bands, which had con tained the food supposed necessary to support the deceased on her journey to nudes.

A MUDDLE IN BRUNSWICK. And now our Democratic friends in Brunswick are at logger-heads. At their county convention they snubbed Dr. W. g! Curtis, a candidate for chair man, because he was not supporting Judge McKoy for Congress, and elected Mr. Samuel R Chinnia. "A Card" manded the Republicans : to name th subject which; according to "Mr. Telf ler's assertion, the Democrats had beeij tuous body like a National Convention hwhich appeared in'the Evening Review, Uur dearly beloved .Democratic pa triots of Columbus county have com mitted a ludicrous blunder in the reso lution recommending Col. n. B. Short for Lt.-.Governor. They inform the public that "should the mantle of Chief Magistrate be cast upon him dur ,ng his term of office, wo know of no man who would more gracefully wear it." We all know that itjis possible for a Governor to die, or be impeached, or be promoted, but it has never before been thejashion to say so by resolu tion. After this uncouth slurring of the possible future Democratic Gover nor, and aftersnubbing Judge A. A McKoy by informing him that he . would please- remain on the bench through his whole terra, and not bother them by attempting to go to Congress, are influenced by outside pressure, by the demonstrations of the upper circles in a'packed opera house, by parliamen tary tactics and the impulses of the moment, most people who have wit nessed the movements of such bodies, are aware.

Try on in that "ar . Cillery company of sailors raised at Wilmington, with one of the brass field pieces, and six half-swiyel guns," and commanded by "General Waddell," with 580 men besides. There were some rough fellows among those regulators. A fellow named Hamilton, a regulator, cried out to the crowd, 4,what business has Maurice Moore to be a judge ? He wasno judge ; he was not appointed by the King. He nor Henderson neither. It was the best thing that could be done for the coun try, for now we ishall be forced to kill all the clerks and lawyers.

This seems to be one of the fellows who as the Gleaner says had caused Alamance to take "its place in history to illustrate the inherent love of justice aad freedom which haa ever distinguished North Carolina, whether as -a colony or a state." - Tho Solicitor of the Treasury will offer at auction, next Tuesday, the val uable water-power at Harper's Ferry, together with the old engine house in - which John Brown barricaded himself in 153, and the ruins of the old rausket and rifle works, arsenal, and other pie, may on" reflection be convinced that they themselves are, but children of a larger growth, living over the am bitions, hallucinations,! and follies of by gene centuries, and that while the nation will be immutable and get on in the shadow of future struggles like these, the human race will, including politi cians and aspirants, be indulging in about the same sort eccentricities, vas cillations, defeats, and trianphs.

'' CORRUPTION IN THE T JliX A S pacific. . ; - A Mr. George is pushing an 1 investi gation before the House Committee bn regard , to corrup CoDgrees in that Pacific Railroads in tion in legislation in roadi He says that he is ready at a moments' notice to go upon the witness stand and prove by document and re cords every thing he charges. The Times Washington correspondent says : Mr. George is fighting the Texas Pacific. He represents a portion; of Texas bitterly opposed to the read, and so he has much to gain in case he suc ceeds in this investigation. Gen. Newell is actuated by a desire to punish the Texas Pacific for a refusal to pay his claim. Three years ago allof the facts in Newell's possession became known to George, but he has never had any claim upon the proofs until very recently. Newell went with George and deposited all of, the documents in the case in a bank in this city, from which they can not be taken except iipon the joipt per sonal order of both. Th ip precautions have been taken by Gf'i-.iro lU r-t t;t himself. In a city wh.re vim raiiioaJs of the country concentrate powerful and unscrupulous agents, the utmost 'care and caution are dictated by com mon prudence. Mr. George is so strongly fortified that he can force an investigation, and he will push the fighting next week. He does not desire to publish in advance buildings, destroyed on the approach does not want any committee to be able of the Confederate forces at the beerin- to say that he did not eive them :th w It ' - calm the excitement, which was intense ahd disgraceful. He (Dr. C.) moved that the convention adjourn to meet at a future time and place (for reasons al- doorway of the cloak-room.

Immediately on the withdrawal the undersigned were requested to make the count of both sides and counted fifth-seven in the McKoy party, all citi zens of Brunswick county, and sixty three in the Stedman party, amongst whom whom were Messrs. Stedman, Darby. Griffith, Gore and others, not voters. We believe that previous to Major Stedman's arrival oiW he ground we had a large majority, and that even his presence did not iriuch affect the status of the McKoy side, aud for an endorsement of this paper we refer to any fair minded unprejudiced man' on the ground at the time." Exactly in what condition this mud dle leayes the delegation from Bruns wick to the Democratic Congressional Convention, it is impossible to say. It reminds us very much of the old game of snapping coppers on the basis of, "heads I win tails you lose." Or rather it may be compared to the dinner of turkey and crow given by a white man t an IndianI cjald the wnite man to the Indian, "shall I take turkey and you crow ? or will you take crow and I turkey?" The Indian was heard to observe that turkeyj wasn't said to Lira at all. . v . A GREAT CRASH.

To consider them selves indispensable U a failing even of some powerful minds j and the fate of Thiers ought never to be forgotten by statesmen ;w ho are inclined to trade upon their necessity to their country. more . truth Certain it is, at any rate, that of late Prince Bismarck's petulance has not proa1 ucen the effect which it,- did on former occasions.

We look forward to a fine harvest this fall. But while attending to our farms we must keep a lookout for our country's good electing good men to office that can bond and will do their duty when they get in office. If it ifl npt against the rules of your most valuable paper I will suggest two names, one for Congress from this dis trict and one for the office of Register of deeds ef this county. We are ,for Hon. W. P. Canaday first, f last and at all times, to fill that honored position for which he is fully capable and worthy Of filling.

Upon the reports of the midwife a 'physician ; was called, and the fact was established that a second child was present a case of abdominal or extra uterine preguancy. , The pa tient was removed to Vincent's Hos pital, and on Tuesday the operation ef Ceeaarian section was performed by Dr. H. P. Q. Wilson, assisted by Drs. Cha tard, Allan P. Smith, W. P. Howard, and others, and a large boy was taken from among the viscera. Both chil dren are living and the mother is doing well.

The present Register of this county, it is well known has not come up to the requirements fo the law in settling up with the county, and now a rank Democrat has - charge of the office, and I'll suggest the name of Gratlan Williams, Esq., ot Lincoln township, to fill the office of Register of Deeds. And no doubt you would agree with us if you knew Mr. Williams as well as we do. . He is a Democrat from principle, I know. v He is not one of those fire eating Democrats; he is a Magistrate: appointed by the Demo critic legislature, and no ceunty in the state has a better Magistrate than he is. . He is ready and willing at all time to help and advise with our race when they are so unfortunate as te get into trouble. He is one Democrat that we can and will trust in that officer There is no question abaut the bond. I think that he would not hare any trouble about that. He can give it in one day to the .Wiuiikgton Post, with tlie request that they be published, was also carried. ? . Mr, E.
