Another motive noait from these I have named, has led me to my present position. Within the hi-d ten years the Republican party of Pennsylvania has become a mere mob. , , , Ihe men who nave control ot it are inferior and seltLsh men, w hile the , best material are secluded from all re- j cognition. And I have such reliance ; on General Hancock's personal integ ritv and his political character that I do not believe if he wore placed at the head of the government he would break down any of the covenants of the war or attempt to invalidate meas ures rendered necessary by the war. j But my chief motive is to ensure re conciliation with such men as your- self a-:-.! with all the people of the fHjtl, " I Now,' let the republicans of Chatham 1 1 1 follow the noble example of ( ol. lor-; ney, and give their votes to Hancock. , whoso loyalty was proven by his blood j shed in defence of the Fiiion. nd ! vvhoso elwtion will ensure a perinaiient reconciliation between tho people of 1 the North aud South ' OK UOI.YKR tUitrlKM. Thi) Republican candidate for the Presidency will Iih always stigmatised as "Do CSolyer" (iarlield, and by such naiiiu will history record him on its pages. To those of our readers, who may not know the origin of the name, wo will explain, uud in doing so it is not our purpose to heap abuse upon (Ion. (iai'lielil hut simply to expose one of his transactions that should vender him unlit for the high olliee to ' whieh lit' aspires. Some few years ago the tirut of Pe (Solycr V McClc Hand desired to obtain the contract for pawn- certain streets in Washington C'ily. Our renders aiv aware that this city is under the con trol of Congress, and that in order to ave the btret ts il vas necessary to get a:; appropriation from Congress. (Jen. ( ml field at that time was the ! chairman ot the Appropiiutious com . mittce in Congress, and without the consent of I. is eommiltee no money 'could le furnished for pawn;,' the street. Mr. (icorgo 15. Chittenden j was employed hy I'eti.ilycr Mc , CleliMid toohtaiu thccoutriu-t for them. I The contract was awarded hy the ! hoard of pulilic works of the listriet of Cohiinliia. hut of course the work ' could Hot he done unless Coheres film ' ished the money. (Jen. (iarlield was '. paid .'So.CDK to assist Chittenden in oh taming the cotitlaet. 11 is charged Jen. ! ( Jartield as a In ihe tn induce lain as ; the chairiiiau of the Appropriations ! committee to furnish the money to ! pay for the paling. On the other 'haudtieii ('mi lii M admits lvciiiing i the uiomy. lust says it was paid ti ' him us an attorney's fee fur appear i ing hefore the hoard of puhlic works in hehalf of De ("Solver .V. Mc (Vlliind. , '". will Hot attempt til decide w Inch statement is true (though the weight of testimony favors the til'st i, hut taking (Javtields own admission we think his conduct should damn him foivwr in the opinion of all hon est men. Here is the case of a mem her of Congress accepting a fee of 5s.-1.OiMl for procuring a contrail which was made to depend up.ii. appro priation to he made bv Congress, and whieh appropriation could only come from a committee of which he was chairman ! This, in plain English, was a. sale of olliei.il influence, and was highly n -prchemiihh . That Chit t'l'd-'ii himself regarded the tiansa. tion as a bribe as a purchase of (larlield's official intliioiice is proven ly a letter that he (Chittenden) at the time wrote to De( Solver A McClel land. salng: "The influence of (Sen. (iai'lielil has been secured. He holds the pur.se sti ing, of the Pnited States, i:id is chairman of the Committee .n Appropriations. I can hardly realize that we have (ien. (iarlield with us. t U riu'e .succi's. and very gratifying, a.i all the Ai li;.pi:iTlnNs fur the ni TUil T MI ST COMK TltUul iiU HUI." 1 C (Solver .V McClelland obtained the contract, out of which tlcy naule jliiii.iMMl dear profit, and then it 'seems that Chittenden had to sue IV (iolver Mc Ch lLiiid fo recoM-r the ""'iiey expended by him in securing the contrm t for them, and in his ac count was the item of !.YlUt that had been paid to (iarlield. De (Solver and McClelland resisted this demand, aud .-. t up the dclVm-ic that (Sal field s taking that money was a sale of his influence as a member of Congress and agaiu.-t public policy. The court held that t!ie transact ion by which (iarlield wa- paid the "i.tKU was tm illegal and corr.ipt one. and did not allow Chi; lei. deli's claim to be reim b.ir.-eil that amount from his priuei pal-. IV (Solyer and .McClelland. Therefore Chittenden appealed to the Supreme Court of Illiiioi.-. and there a; fain the court put its -.eul of coll deuinatioii ou the t raiisai lion, and le filsed to allow ( 'l.iUeliilcli s ehiiui to be reimbursed So that the highcM judicial tiibiiii.il of one of the Slates of the I'nion the Supreme Court of Illinois ha- solemnly decided that this disgraceful transaction of "Do (Solver" (Sarllel.I was against public policy , illegal, and a sale ol his olh cinl position. And yet he is the can delate of the Republican putty for the I 'residency, and honest lueli are asked l ote for him.

Republicans carried the State of Xew York on account of the divisions in the Democratic party. (Sow Robinson was the regular Dem ocratic candidate, but Johu Kelly ran as the Tammany candidate and re ceived enough votes to prevent llob inson's ( lection, though they together received nearly fifty thousand more votes than Cornell, who whh elected. Kelly has since that time attempted to keep up a sepal ate Democrat ic or ganization, and his followers hold a State Convention last May and liomi nated an electoral ticket. Of course, with two electoral tickets in the field, the Democrats could not expert to carry the State for Hancock, but we are pleased to state that last week John Kelly hold a meeting of his ex ecutive committee and withdrew his ' electoral ticket .and pledged the hearty support of himself and followers to the regular Democratic ticket, which will ensure the great State of New York to Hancock and English ! MOOISE'S 1UST0KY. We are under many obligations to the publisheis. Messrs. Alfred Will iains A ('., for a copy of the second volume of Moore's History of Xorth Carolina, and while we hae not yet had time to carefully study it. et a hasty perusal compels us to say that the wolk Is highly creditable to its author and to the people whose his torv it is. The book is a gem of ty pographical skill, and reflects great credit upon its printers, Messrs. C.el A Wiley. No son of North Carolina should be without a copy, nor can he read it without a glow of put i iot ic pride, and also of gratitude to the accomplished historian, warm ing his heart. The history closes with the car lSTl!, and is a noble and eloijiient indication of North Carol i na's soldiers iu the late war, and of the patient sufferings of her p. oplo during the dark das of reconstruc tion and carpet bag rule. (Set a copy and read it. (i flint Elected President. As (Sen. Grant failed in his effort to again become President of the United States, he determined tube President of something, and so he has been elected President of the Sail Pedro and Cniion del Agua Company, which owns forty thousand acres of land in New Mexico, including copper and gold mines, l'.oston and New Yolk capitalists are largely interested iu tho enterprise. Searching 11 Wreck. About three years ago tho United States Steamer Huron was wrecked ou our roast neat Kitty Hawk, and many lives lost. The Government has made a eou'.ract with certain parties to get all they can from the wrecked vessel, and from the Elizabeth City Economist we copy the folio iug account of their , operation's: "The wreck lies about two hundred yards from tho shore, in about twelve feet water, and the diving, hauling, and bUsting work employs a force of about six able and expert men, the principal one being an experienced diver who spends the most of his time under tho water. Tin v use dynamite to blast Hit w reck, uud its effect is nil powerful. At one of tho explosions the other day 1 1V0 hundred sheepshead were instantly kilh d. They have procured a great many articles of value from the wreck; among ot hers uii immense Catling gun the original cost of which is said to have been $ lo.liUO. They have got ten out l.uives, clothes, silks, ar- tides of more and less value, c.uubs, brushes, Ac , all of which, tho, sub merged under the ocean for nearly three years, are still Uninjured. The articlts which the Huron con tained as well as those which have been recovered, are Weil known, so that the experts who are engaged in this submarine, hazardous wolk, 4uovv well what they hope to find. The Ship's safe containing gold and treasure has not yet been obtained. That chest is the objective search. It is said to contain $7,0J(). It is sup-, posed to be but iod iu Iho sand under the beavy machinery. Tim experts are now obtaining brass and copper, and their average earn ings we understand are about 150 a day. Sometimes the winds suspend the work. They can wuik about half of tho time." Skillful Suryical Operation. Washington Lyon, a colored mau living 011 the suburbs of Taiboro' hus a son named Lewis Heury, between eight and nine years old. Some time since, 1.0 wis having got hold of h glass of ooueenirated lye, which he i mistook for milk attempted to swal low it. His throat was terribly lac c. rated and healing, dose the orifice and prevent his swallowing. Dr. L. L. St aton, being called iu the case con cluded to make an iucision into the stomach, insert a tube and adminis ter sustenance iu that way. This , skilh'il operation he performed mc cessfully, aided by Dr. It. II. Speight. ' Bofore this the boy had been kept' alive by rubbing oil ou his body aud , through enemas. Through this tube the boy is regularly fed aud is im proving. When sufficiently strength ened Dr. St aton hopes to opon his, throat and rut through the incision j iu the stomach. When the Doctor 1 cut into tho stomach it w as so cou-! traded by disease as to bo scarcely 1 large enough to contain any food. CORXlESrONDSNCE. : i'..r Tut mxvuu. J The District Conference. !
