Senator in Con -ss, to succeed Senator Merrimon, on ; It IV of next March. This nomination, wiiler the circumstances, is equivalent te a i election. Therefore, it will only re- ire the omciai ratincation of the two II uscsof the (ieneral Assembly to make ( :vei-uor Vance United States Senator,' tlibugh, of -course, pro forma legin he will 1 1 it. .properly be so addressed until he has taken his oath of office. K'otwith.standiiig the .opposition of Sen- at r Merrimon and his friends, it has Let ri erfectly clear . for some time that lh s would be the result of the contest. It s not possible for a bolt to occur a sec 1 time, because public sentiment in w oil) otli parties had been strongly expressed opposition thereto. Senator Merri- u4n did not have sufficient strength in i party to give him the caucus noraina n. Uy consequence the Senator with- lit Mr w i'ro?in it hopeless conflict.

T h the caucus. We shall not attempt a bid analysis of his powers, and in this dace and on this occasion it would not be i gracious thing to compare or contrast iimwith his predecessor. . Zjebulofc Baird Yanee waa born in Bun. ombe county, near Asheville, on the 13th tf May, 1830- His father, who was a Merchant and most respectable citizen, aieci when Zebulon was quite young, and his mother, daughter of Zebulon . Baird, ormerly a Representatize in the Legisla ure from Buncombe, undertook the diffi- ult task of having him educated with. ender means. He obtained in this way (n elementary English education, but eing even then of an inquiring mind he inched beyond this. He eagerly read all me familiar with the Bible, in which s pious mother : instructed him, and ith 'Shakspere and Walter Scott. In 52 he entered the University, where; be mained only one year.- While at Chapel ill he began to study law, and not many lonths subsequent to his leaving the Uni- fcrsity he obtained his license and settled wn in Asherille. His . ready wit soon ade him very popular, and he shot raight up into notoriety first as an adtfo te jand then as a politician.- Young Vance was an ardent Whig, and s elected by that party, in 1854, to the gislature. Here he became prominent ong tbe younger men. In 1858, after on. r. L. Clmtrtnan s elevation j : " . m; the House of Representatives -to Senate, Mr. Vance ran for Congress to 1 thft Tjoexpirod term. He was opposed by W. Avery, a popular and, able man. People thought Mr! Vance's candidacy more of a joke than a serious matter But he was elected, and was re-elect ver David Coleman, another opponent of ability and infloence, in 1859.-t the regular election. There has seldom been a more remarkable political "result in North Carolina than the triumph of this unfledged boy over these distinguished veterans. The canvass in each case evi denced Vance's wonderful powers as a stump speaker. He took a high position in Coagress far a man of his years audx- penence. and when the war broke out was rap wmf hU mark. Up to tie cltf of Lincoln for troops, perhaps even up to the fight at Fort Sumter, Vance had acted with, the Union element in national and State politics. But these stirring event3 and, the innate loyalty of his heart awoke within him the same spirit of defiance which poEaesaed those of us who were original secessionists. In May, 1861, he wa.s at the front as captain of volunteers. In August following be was elected colonel of the Twenty-gixth Regiment North Carolina troops. His regiment was in the thickest of the tremendous batiles aroundi Richmond, Col. Vance's colors having been shot almost to pfetes. The people, in 182, were casting about for a Governor, and although the services of Col. Vance were important in the. field, it was decided by both citizens and soldiers to take him back into civil life. Cov. Vance wa? chosen by a very large ma jority over (Jol. William Johnston, of Charlotte. Col. Johnston was-supported by most of those in North Carolina who favored an unwavering support of Mr. Davis' administration. In 1864 he was elected over W. W. H olden by an over whelming majority, notwithstanding the fact that there1 was beginning to be serious defection toward the Confederate cause, and Mr. Holden was the leader of the re calcitrants. In both terms of office Gov. Vance gave great satisfation to the true men of the State, though hey necessarily raised up enemies among those1 who were enemies of the Confederate cause. In the matter of supplying through the blockade the Narih Carolina troops with clothes and other necessarv articles, the Governor rendered the State invaluable service. A light heeled steamer,- the Advance, was kept steadily employed during the years 1863 and 1864 importing these supplies. In organization and all the qualities of leadership Governor Vance shone conspic uously in those days of travail and of dark ness. Commencing his administration al most as the opponent of the Confederate administration, though himself, intensely loyal to' the Southern cause.. Governor Vance soon became Mr. Davis' right arm , among the Southern Governors. It is true that in the habeas corpus cases they really were in antagonism, but the noble JeflTerstMi Davis had perhaps no more faithful supporter in all measures to which Governor Vance could give the approval of his convictions than the brilliant Execu j live of North Carolina. We are not writ j ing of the past as a historian, whose duty it is to. sift evidence iu controversies and j indicate conclusions, if not to state them; but we are putting rapidly on paper, for current purposes, the leading features'-in the life of one of North Carolina's great men, and we here criticise neither of the illustrious parties to the legal coutest ' which occurred. The present is not the time for such criticism, and he who writes has no heart to say a word to disparage either of the .contestants. AVhen the world sums, up the mighty deeds of the century and calls over the names af the immortals both Jefferson Davis and Zebulon Tance will assuredly be . honored, it may be, in widely different ways. After the close of hostilities Governor . t Vance was arrested as a "traitor" and im prisoned, in "Washington, for a short while. Upon his release he resumed the practice of law, but moved his residence first to Statesville and finally to Charlotte. In 1870 he was elected United States Sena tor, but his disabilities not having been re moved he. was not allowed to take his seat, and General l. W. Ransom was chosen in his place. Davidson College conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Laws. Governor Vance has made political speeches in the State in all the campaigns since the war. In 1876 he was .looked to to save the State from a return to Radicalism. Though owing to some personal enmities growing out of ihe war , and other causes," he ran slightly behind some others on the ticket, it was ;hi9 prestige and oratory chiefly which rolled up the fine majority of that year. He was elected Governor for the third time. It is needless to say that he has made on excellent Executive. Governor Vance has delivered a notable lecture en "Th Scattered Nation," and another on "The Mountain Soenery ef North Carolina." He has besides written a' series of picturesque sketches on. the State, her history, her institutions, her people and her scenery. - Governor Vance married Miss Harriet Newell Espey, the daughter of a clergy man, whose death only recently was the occasion of .the expression of much sy m pathy. They, had four children, one of whom. was licensed last week to practise law by bur. Supreme CourL Such is the. life and such a crude esti mate . of the services of Zebulon Baird Vance. 1 A lVeek's GmI Work. The sitting Legislature is an active body.

The annexed embraces a list of all the set. Is in the House over which here will probably be contests in the Forty-sixth Congress: Florida. The majority for Hull (dem.) in the second district being only 1:5, Bisbee (rep.) mav contest the seat. Illinois. In the fifteenth district the seat of Forsythe (nat .) may be contested by Decius, (dem.) In Shelby county the Republicans printed their ballots, "Forsyth," without the "e," so as to be able to claim or repudiate the candidate, as might be neceessary. The judges returned 595 for Forsyth and 1,528 for For sythe, but the State canvassers gave them all to Forsythe, 'whose vote was 13,190 to 12,942 for Decius, who claimed that he should have recieved the certificate and the burden of showing that Forsyth and Forsythe were iden tical been thrown on his opponent. In the second district W. II . Condon (nat.) has given.notice that he will contest the seat of S. R. Davis, (rep,) whose plurality was 4,2o(, Condon only recieving 259 votes in a poll of nearly 21,000 votes, but the notice is said to be irregular. Indiana. In the ninth district the seat of Orth (rep.) will be contested by McCabe, (dem.,) who was beaten by 97'. There are' charges-that some twenty-five or more college students, not residents the State, voted for Orth, and fraud is alleged in Virinillion and Montgomery counties. The latter was at first reported as having given McCabe :'09, but fifteen hours afterwards this was reduced to 261. Iowa. There is likely to be a muddle in consequence of the claim that the October election was not legal, and that the members elected in November are entitled to their seats. Elactipns were held in six districts in Novem ber, when the following gentlemen obtained majorities: 2. Hiram Price, R. 5. Rush Clark. R. 6. J. B. Weaver, D. and N. 7. E. H. Gillette, D. 8. J. C. Holmes, D. 9. JohnW. Wilson, D. The first four were elected in October, and tootfthis6tep to mak either claim good in either contingency. Republicans having done this as well as democrats, it cannot be alleged that the move was a "party dodge," and the best legal opinion of Iowa is divided as to the regularity of the first election. Louisina. In the third district Hebert (Rep. and Nat.) will contest the seat of Acklen, (Dem.) Maryland . In the fifth district Crane ( Rep . ) will centest the seat of Ilenkle ( Dem . ) on the ground of fraud and interference with supervisors. Massachusetts. In the sixth district Boyn ton (National) will contest the seat of Loring, (Rep.;) alleging, among other reasons, that 431 votes for the latter did not specify the office to be filled. Loring's plurality over Bpynton:was 113. ? Minnesota. In the third district Donnelly (jDem aedNat.) will contest the seat of Washburn (rep.) on grounds of bribery, kc. Washburn's majority was 3,013, but the con testant will further claim that it was largely made up by counting vote of counties not properly organized and omitting Democratic votes. New York In the twenty -fifth district. J. i M. Wieting (nat. and clem.) will contest the j seat of Hiscock (ref.)!, who was elected by ! 3,425, on grounds of alleged corruption and I intimidation. ' North Carolina In the first district Ycates j (dem.) will probably contest the seat ot Mar- ; tin (rep.), the State canvassers having de- : clined to go behind the returns, which ou their face gave Martin 51 majority. In the second j O'Hara (rep. ) will contest the seat of Kitchin I (dem.) claiming that his votes .were illegally thrown out in Halifax, Edgecombe,. Craven : and Lenoir "counties, which sent up amended i returns. j Pennsylvania In the twentieth district Cur- ' tin (dem.) will contest the seat of Yocum ; (nat. and rep.) on the ground of fraud ami bribery; Yocum's majority was 92.

The canvassing board split but Klotz has filed the judicially certified returns of all the counties with the clerk of the House as a safeguard. They give him 95 majority . There has been some talk of McCandlees (dem.) contesting the seat of Bingham (rep.) in the first district, where Bingham's plurality was 7,427. Virginia In the ninth district it is said that McMullin (ind. dem.) will contest the 6eat of Richmond (dem.), who wa elected by a plu rality of 291.'

There is steady improvement. (New Yokk AYoki.d.) Des'Tves the support of all Southern readers. (New Yokk .Si x.) We wi.-h success to this interesting enter- : prise (Wei.don News.)' It is a magazine of merit and we wish it much success. . (Chkoxicle and Constitutionalist.) j It richly deserves the cordial support of all ! our people. (Biblical Recokhek.) , , It is printed in large, clear type and is a i credit to the State. (Greensboro Patkiot.) It is ably edited, handsomely printed, and gives' promise of being a very, very interesting : publication. (Elizabeth City Economist.) Altogether creditable. Its contributors are "; first-class and its mechanical and typographical execution excellent. (Hillsijoko Recorder.) Its list of contributors is an an able one j and if sustained, will ensure the permanent ! success of the enterprise. , ' (Wilmington Post.) It is a first-class literay magazine, and onej that the people of this city should be proud of j and pationize, as 'well as the people of the ! whole state. (Raj.ei'gii Observer,) ; It is needless to say we wish it success, and ; that we look forward with pride, as well as i pleasure, to the r -suit of the enterpise as one ' that will reflect honor upon the Stale. (Oxford Toi: height. ) The typographical execution of the magazine is very Hue, and in point of appearance, coh tents, and indeed iu all lespeets it is a publi cation which must commend it.-elf to the public. (Graham Gleaner.) It gives promise of being eminently worthy of public patronage. No commendation of j ours would equal a simple statement of the I table of its contents, with the names of the J contributors, which we give as an evidence of r of tji'e worth of the periodical. ! (Farmer and Mechanic.) . ' Here we have a rich bill of fare from South- ! ern writers, catered by a Southern' lady and ! printed by Southern printers, on Southern ' paper. Ye who bewail the lack of Southern j literature, and home-fostered talent, shall : this enterprise live, and expand .-. (Wilson Advance.) The magazine is well gotten up. The sub- j ject matter is varied and entertaining, while j its typographical appearance is a model of' neatness, and reflects the highest credit upon ; the exquisite taste and excellent judgment i mat MitRfMi-u ano uirecw'i us consummation. (Norfolk Virginian.). This publication appeals to the people of the South for a Staple support. It richly merits it and we feel will receive it. We know of no Southern literary venture that has exhibited so much merit, united with an evidence of management that must win for it a position in the ranks oFmagazine literature and hold It. (Petersburg Index .t Api eal.) The South-Atlantic has this merit over any of its predecessors in the same arena, that its contents are solid, though not heavy, and that no room appears to have been intended in it for productions, of a trashy and frivolous character. While if continues to adhere to this rule, it will have every claim on Southern and general support, and "we -feincerely trust it will receive it. (Danville News.) This is a most excellent publication a mag azine of high character, an honor to the State, and a credit to the whole South. All its pages are filled with articles of superior excellence and interest. It has for its contributors some of the best known authors in the South, is, ably edited and neatly printed. This splendid monthly deserves a liberal patronage as a first class southern enterprise. ... (Raleigh New'0 Peculiarly Southern in-its character, and numbering among its contributors some of the best and most vigorous writers in the country, it bears upon its face the stamp of originality and force. The interest of it serial stories has never ceased, while the shorter, casual articles have been marked by a vigor pepullarly their own. All topics are discussed, and thus the. world's progress is closely followed. The magazine has from its Inception been received with peculiar favor by North Carolinians; nor. have it merit failed to recelva iut encomiums from perrons of ability CTefywbvre. tf The Ilewo and Courier, CHARLESTOW K r rtiaily F.dition by mail, one year, Ho - . months, tii : three months, f 3, pavable iA vaii-e.
