. v-' .-.'...,''.. I : . . - ' r DAILI OBSEKFEK. JOIISSTONE JONES, . Etor and Proprietor Friday, January 23, 1374. Halt Unload. We reported on Tuesday, the lat est utterances from the White House; thp.re seems now to be no doubt of their truth. They are curt, compre hensive and full of portentous im port; the more because they were spoken to the leaders of the Kepub lic'an party. "I begin to think" said Grant, "it is time for theRepublican party to unload. There has been too much deadweight carried by it. The success of our arms during the rebel lion and the confidence that the Re publican party was strong enough to hold up any burden, have imposed all the disaffection in the Gulf States on the administration. I am tired of this nonsense. Let Louisiana tak,e care of herself as Texas will have to do. I don't want any quar rel about Mississippi State matters to be referred to me. This nursing of monstrosities has nearly exhausted the life of the party. I am done with them, and they will have to take care of themselves." Halt! Unload lam tired of this nonsense. To Morton, coachman of the party, and his Congressional followers in the Senate and House; to scallawags and carpet baggers and their negro dupes in the South; to partizans and corruptionists generally, whether North or South, these are the un pleasantest words that ever blotted paper. To men who love country more than party to patriots, of all sections, they are full of comfort and hope. But ft is in the South especi ally, that these decisive words will inspire new life. The old North State will "shake the poppies from her brow," and spring forth with renewed vigor to repair the ravages of the war; her thirty thousand majority of white voters, will move like an avalanche against plunderers, and overwhelm them in all her borders. Louisiana, Mississippi and the old 1 'a I met to, no longer driven by bay onets, will right the good ship of State; pece between the races will be restored, and public thieves be sent to the penitentiary. The South will govern itself, and show tboro io life in the old land yet. -Grant means to cut loose and let monstrosities nurse themselves ! Here a change of base, greater than NBWS OF THE DAY.

Jt ': $ 1 ' K !A stunted' BQhemian, who sud denly acquired wealth from pilfering in whisky Blums, became its mana ger, and he has never been able to rise to the dignity or responsibility pf bisnew. position.; He is still the petty'clerk of a whisky committee essaying the roleof a jjreat journal ist. He is "siill the same" stunted creature, whose intellectual develop ment was limited to the emotions of a dog-fight, and which development he utilizes in the attempt to manage a newspaper.! -Without social stand ing of any kind whatever, despised by the meanest intellect with ' which he is brought in contact, a blunder er at every step of his career as a journalist, repeatedly branded in public as a mendacious knave and a airtydog what is there about him that should afford anything but fail ure? The Tribune responded with the following "The editor of the Times is now an old manj enfeebled in mind, body and estate. He give very little at tention to the indecencies of his newspaper, and spends most of his time puttering over his pennies. But a corps of athletic y oung blackguards have collected about him, having nearly as great a proficiency as he himself enjoyed twenty years ago ana tney are last becoming as com plete social outcasts as he himself has been these twentv years. In the way of attacking some virtuous wo man, reviling the wife or daughter of a respectable citizen, putting a clond on the reputation of some, or phan, or any light job of that sort, they are very nearly up to his stand ard. If the Times ever praised any body who had not been guilty of some crime, it was probably done for a consideration." . i i . I .1 .1 i .

SPECIAL ORDER. At 11 J o'clock the bill to make uni- j form the rate of interest in the State was taken up, read and considered. The provisions of the bill, and amendment proposed by the Com mittee, is to equalize the rate of in terest between banks and private in dividuals to 8 per cent. .Mr. Merrimon argued in favor of the original bill, which is strictly a usury law, without modification. Mr. Morehead, of Rockingham, opposed the bill. Ihe bill and amendments passed its finol reading. (As we propose to pubiisn tne oiu in lull, tne provis ions of the amendments are lnten- tionaiiy not mentioned in tnis re port.) Before the vote was announced, Mr. Dunham asked leave to change J. S.

He was opposed to Senator Worth's plan of recogniz ing now the old debt. He was for standing still, and waiting. He will never by vote or act recognize the special tax bonds. It was the most etupendeous crime ever committed against the liberties of a people. The Sentinel speaks of this effort as one of the ablest of the session. i Mr. Kingsbury has again with drawn from the Associate Editorship of the Raleigh Sentinel. He expects, however, for the present to be con nected with the Sentinel in other ways. After awhile possibly in a few weeks he hopes to either edit a weekly naner at Henderson, Gran ville county, or a new daily paper in Raleigh. Of this, the public will be duly informed.

There is something mysterious and tantaliz ing about the letter alleged to have been written to President Davis by Caleb Cushing, introducing one Mr. Roane. Several versions of the same have been given to the world, and the hint has been made that the whole correspondence was a fabrica tion the work of enmity, on the mind of prejudice and malice. But why did not Mr. Cushing attempt to explain? and who should he for a patched up falsehood, consent to be robbed of an honor so distinguished? The New Orleans Picayune, of Friday, says : Mr. Jefierson Davis, being asked to relate the circumstances connect ed with the Cushing letter, told the gentleman who questioned him on subject, that he had no recollection of such a letter ; that he did not re member receiving any letter from Mr. Cushing at the time referred to, and that he had no knowledge of the person in whose behalf the letter purports to have been written. This is a strange fact, as the incident is one which would be likely to impress itself on a memorv so tenacious as that of Mr. Davis'." The whole matter surely is a mvs- tery equal to any in all Wilkie Col lins' romances. Petersburg Index and Appeal. A Savannah paper says : The pow erful acting of the greatest tragadi ans is too much for the sensibilities of some people.
