SENATOR LOGAN. A few years ago it is 8 aid Gen. John A. Logan was comparatively a poor man, but when he went out of the sen ate in 1877 it was a lucky day for him, he turned his attention, and all of his great abilities, to private business He invested a small amount in a cattle rancb in New Mexico, andto-day.it is said that it has grown to be one f the mos4 valuable in the west, and has brought the senator up to be one ot the wealthi est men in the country. This is ex ceedingly gratifying to his many friends in this section of the country X May he go on prospering is our wish. RAD JI DGMEM. Senator Conkling has shown very bad judgment in bringibg forward the old fends of the party in the past, at a time, too, when Logan, Hatlon, Gresh ham, Sherman and Ilawley backed by the President, are doing all in their power for peace and harmony in the party. No one doubts Senator Conk ling's ability, but he certainly is doing his party, the party that has honored him in the past, great harm when he delivers uch speeches as he aid a few days ago. Gen. Grant is a statesman, and-we believe he is anxious for party . unity and we feel confident he does not approve of Mri-Coiikling'a speech. ; Till: SIXTH CONCJRENKIONAIi DISTRICT. ..- It is well known that tho present Sixth Congressional District was carved . out for congressman Bennett, of An- Hon, but tho thing will not be so cer tain for hint . after all.

Ii. SAUNDERS. Our article on the question of who would be the next Democratic nomi nee for Governor, caused some consid erable talk- in Democratic circles. Some said that there was no possible chance for Col. W. L. Saunders's nomination. While a large majority of thpic with whom we talked admitted that he stood tie best chance; provided, first, that his health permitB, and further, should he conclude to make a fight for the place. The Democrats generally ad mit that he is the ablest man they have. But all agree, though, that his. connec tion with the Jarvis'ring has damaged him very much. We have seen for some time a growing feeling in favor of Col. Saunders's nomination, on the part of the bosses, and he will be nom inated by them, assisted by the kuklux, if his health will permit of the excite ment of the . campaign tha't will fol low, -', ' X -. r ' THE TARIFF. . " Our Democratic morning contempo rary does not know whether to be a ful fledged free trader or half and half. It has a tariff article o'ne'morning, the next it will be on the fence, and the third an out and out free trader. The fact,is, however, the paper is the or gan of the Democratic party, for tbe leaders of that party have been on all sides. Beck, Vance and Carlisle are in favor of free trade, while Randall, Vor hees and Brown are lor a high protec tive tariff. The party is 'committed, it is true, to free trade, as much as it can be committed to anything. Dut uiauy of the leaders are like". .their. Demo cratic organ here, they are anxkmto b on all side3 at the same time.

The President further said thai lie could not contemplate the; enforce ment of this measure on mere suspic ion against American citizens without fears of its having an unhappy, influ ence upon the good feeling which exists between two great 'nations of common origin and common language. , , ''.-.. .The conclusion of the instructions of the President as follows: "I need scarcely add that this government has no sympathy with the motives or the methods of the class of indiscreet indi viduals, insignificant in number, in this country whose ill directed zeal cam neither serve the cause of Ireland nor reflect credit on the country of their adoption. The law abiding and peace able American citizens of Irish birth should not be exposed to suffering on their account." The instructions to Minister Lowell were subsequently supplemented by tho declaration of the Pressdent that the power given to subordinate officials by the Prevention . of Crime act was so great and the rights subjected to their discretion were so important thatJor eign governments might reasonably re quire that, so far as their citizens pre sent in Ireland on legitimate and pro per business were concerned, the indi viduals selected to administer that' act should be competeut, well informed and unprejudiced, aad should it appear that these officials had, in the case of such foreign citizens, misused the pow ers intrusted to them thy should be subjected to such condemnatory action, and the citizen wronged should receive amends, as the facts might warrant The state department insists that no agreement has been entered into with Great Britain by this' government to hand over the Irish refugees, Tynan, Sheridan and Walsh. That there has "been some discussion of the, probable demand to bs made for them is admit ted by Mr; John Davis, assistant secre tary of slate, lie said this afternoon: "I will not deny that the matter of ex tiati i iting Tv aac, Walsh and Sheridan lias --been brought to the attention of the stale department by the English govxrntueiitaud that the question has bem talked over by Secretary Freling huysen andolhers. who are aware even now of what steps will be taken.

EDITO Post: I see by a report in the Washington Republican that Mr. Conkling, in a speech recently deliver ed in New York city, addressed the Democrats present as "you gentlemen who are soon coming into power," and took occasion, generally, to throw all the cold water he could on the Repub lican party prospects for the national contest of 1884. I also regret to ob serve the same spirit of dissatisfaction amongst the (like Mr. Conkling) disap pointed in our own state, as evidenced in tbe articles and editorials of some ot the Republican papers, which pa pers openly advocate a policy which means but disaster and defeat for the Republican party in North Carolina. Without wishing to animadvert . un kindly on Mr. Conkling's late "depar ture," and not desiring to impute to him other than proper motives. Yet I cannot but say utterances like those referred to, coming as they do at a time when the pld party was fast closing up its late decimated ranks for the coming contest of 1884 (when a more impor tant stake for his section is to be played for than any mere political party suc cess, viz: the tariff); at a time too when the "solid south" bad just commenced to give indications of an early disin tegration; when the shot gun terrorism of South Carolina seemed about to be checked and a ! respect for law and order enforced in that and other south ern states, coming as these utterance.-; of Mr. Conkling's do, at such a lime, to say the least,' they are ill-judged and untimely, and -only serve to show ihat Mr. Conkling (like too many others I unfortunately) ' would not scruple to I sacrifice the party that has made and honored him, to avenge' his personal spleen against the administration which probably in his opinion has not done him that humble reverence bis exalted opinion of himtelf teaches him is his due. (U tnt party in the north has also) suffered from a want of unanimity iu 1 counsel and. action, but we had about liaht of rnt .. I . I cal. let we see ao attempt made to a . .

The dissaffected have of late adopted the plan of threatening to bolt when disappointed iu their expectations, aud have in many instances been coaxed back by a sop. This is a! mistake. They should be allowed to go. Tiey have but one asylum (tho Democratic party) and the sooner the llepublican party is rid of any man 'who refuses, whilst in ranks to obey orders, the bet ter able will it be to meet its enemies on the outside. Thtre must be no more, fear of threats. The man wjio only belongs to the party for what he can get, ought to get uoUi iirg, and if h.e insists on remaining in it to work dis content! ought to be set down upon heavilyij, Candidates ought not to be looked ljn ad legitimate subjects of prey, aud systematically blackmailed by a lot of party vampires.

This idea of colored dictation in party matters is senseless, and is only indulged in for selfish ends, as every colored man of any intelligence in the state knows. Such an idea put in prac tice would immediately put the state into the hands of the Bourbons- Sup pose the idea of some of thee newspa per politicians was adopted, and the colored. clement of the party was to de mand as the price of 'their vote certain concessions which the white element would refuse to grant, what would bo the consequence iu all oiw llepublican counties?

The matter 'was mentioned and commended in the message of Governor Jarvia to the Legislature, and the spirit of that body ia highly fayorable, as is 'shown in the passage of resolutions of encouragement through , both houses, Nothing further was needed. Up to the present we have a fund of 110,000 at our disposal, ond the idea is strongly suppor ted in every section of the state THE BO ABU Ojf AGKICUL.TURE has appointed a committee, consisting, of Commissioner of Agriculture Mont ford McGehce, Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries S. G.. Worth, and myself; stale chemist. As soon aa the now vacant office of state geologist is filled, the incumbent will be added to the committee. We propose to get up an "exhibit ot our resources, which consist chiefly of crude material. They can be classified as minerals, timber and agri cultural products. In minerals, we shall show building stones and ores of copper, gold and iron. In timber; we shall show our woods and the products of our forest, including, as every one knows", our pine tree products tar, pitch 4imi turpentine. We have a vast variety of ornamental timbers. Our forestry, indeed, is an extremely inter esting one. We "have 122 different , va rieties of woody plant, oi large enough size to be utilized for building and other purposes A large number of these are found iu the greatest perfection.' In the extreme western part of the - state, in the mouutain country, there is a supply of black walnut which is undoubtedly the largest anywhere in the Union. This has been hitherto overlooked, as the country has only just had railroads put through it. - For this reason, while the supply of other states has been ex hausted, ours has been practically un touched. u In the middle section of the state are the oaks and hickory, and in the vast are the great varieties of pines, cedars aud cypress. We have probably mare untouched timber than any other state in this country, not excluding even Maine.
