The Galveston (Texas) News, of the 19th insp, contains, under the caption' abased lengthy article, which we re produce herewith. This article is writ ten with some degree of intelligence, and betrays a good deal of familiarity, on the part of the writer, with INorth Carolina politics. This may be because the'.editor and proprietor of the News, :ol.;A.,H. Belo, is HJm$elf a Carolinian, having left 'this State after the war to settle in Texas ; at any rate, the views presented below regarding the senato rial situation here will command at tention, as It is always interesting to know what is thought of us, in any point in view, by outside parties "whT keep ported Jipjm, current events in our midst.;; -4$$ additional matter of in terest ill,. this '-BOection, we further premise with the statement that the' gentleman whose name is coupled with that of Gov. Vance (ex-Gov. Coke, of Texas,) is a native of Virginia, and a brother of Capt Octavius Coke, of Edenton, N. C, who was one of the Senators in the last Legislature of North Carolina from the district cpinr ' p'osed of 5howan' 'arid' other counties, and was a prom.inent candidate before the convention this fall for the nomina tion for Congress from the first district .of this Statev . . .. M ; The News' editorial is atf follows : A canvass is progressing in the State of North Carolina which is analogous to that which resulted in this State in the election of Gov. Coke to the United; States Senate.: The. term of MrMerri-mon.'one-of thepreseht' Senators from that 'Sate; expire'. 6n the 4th of March, 18797 and his successor will be elected in December next by the Legis lature chosen in August. The analogy consists in the fact that Gov. Vance, who is a prominent aspirant for the successership, :is the" present Governor, havmg'severWrt tttwyeafs' of the four f oi Which he was elected.' "The " Legfs ture stands 97'Dem0erats,!ld;Ihdepen dents, 1 National and 62 .Republicans. Of the 97 Democrats, 70 are said to be pledged to support Vance. His oppc - employed tUe presjtige of im position 1x: secure this advantage ; and charge that he meditated his exaltation under cover when he sought the gubernatorial chair at the hands of the people. These cyin siderationsl Wight have more wejght, than they probably will have, but for a feeling that he has been both unfortun ate and wronged heretofore in his legit imate efforts to reach the Spnate. This feeling is sharpened by the -fact that Mernmon, whose hands, he suflered the wrong, is the present iHeamlent and a competitor for the seccession. In 1871 Gov. Vance was elected United if.iuStatea Senator to succeed Abbott, Re publican, but not having received full amnesty, was refused his seat. He re , .,, i , signed, and Genj Hanson, was elected in his stead. In 1872, at the expiration of 4 jonn iron s term as senator, Mr. Vance was again nominated by the Democrat ic caucus, but was defeated in the Leg islature by MeiTimon, through a com bination of bolting D&mocrata and Re publicans. Besides the feeling, which this treatment causes, that he ought now to,, compensated his eminent services in redeeming the State from lladical supremacy is recognized as a reason .why he should, be rewarded. It is very generally considered by all parties that he was the only man perhaps in the State who possessed the dualities and strength necessary, to defeat Judge Settle, the Republican candidate for Governor, -in 187& His popularity was evinced bv the defeat of Judge Settle by an' over whelming majority. He has not only these circumstances in his favor, but he has further recommended himself by useful work in his official position, and by some electioneering clap-trap out of it. He has particularly ingratiated him self with the granger element by caus ing the estabhshmerit of a State agricul tural department, which is a success and is held in great esteem by farmers, wbp think its working of benefit to their interest?. ; Hefcas Alsolreviyed the Uni versity olNortii Carolina, which had declined, aria daosed to be 'opened there a normal'BChool, which gives much satisfaction and is in a flourishing con dition. Tie has also promoted the build ing of narrow gauge roads, which are becoming popular m that State. But hejhas not confined himself o these his legitimate labors. He has mixed with t . the people at their railroad barbecues, has figured on several occasions as the, drivers of first spikes, and has spent much time among the large fishery popu lation on the coast for the declared pur poseof discovering what might be done w auviuice vueir interests.

But before no ticing these questions we take occasion to express our cordial approval of the Drinciple laid down by our Texas coh- f4toppr,f yi Kiat such a course on the sible. For him to prostitute his official posif&'&'trsjanfcO ends, for him to use the ver.or .th.atonage of one office as a means of gaming another, is ! to commit an offence against good mor als which should forfeit to him the con fidence otne public', and upon which they should put the seal of their con- Itctenmation - atthei first portunity. So much for this. Did Gov. Vance seek the guberna torial chair as a means of reaching the Senate? In point of fact, he did not seek the gubernatorial nomination in. 1836 at all--neither for one purpose nor for another. lie did. not want it. Those who know anything at all about the matter, i know this. The nomination was forced upon himl ,:He did not ask it ; he did not raise his hand nor turn a wheel, tp advance., his prospects for it. He went on quietly practicing his pro fession, and the people, knowing full yell ! that he was the only man who couId.caVrj,t.he'.ieitgies of the Democra cy to victory, rose up, and, with one voice, with a unanimity never before heard Of in this State, under similar circumstances, commanded him to take up the standard and lead the van. lie did so, against his preferences and against his own best interests. Politi cal history does hot; present a clearer case of self-sacrifice. The odds were great; tlie issue doubtful; if he was de feated, he was shelved. It is an open secret among his friends that if he at that time wanted anything it was a seat in Congress, from this district, and if th0 Jfajil said the Word, nay, even less, jf hp jhsQ "said itothinff the congiessionr al convention, which met in Wadesboro but a few days before the meeting of the State convention fci Raleigh, would haye giYeH ijrim tiiiHftpminajtion: unani- nfously 'and by acclamation-; but no; two reasons restrained him. The first was, thairbis friend, Miv Ashe, who had befriended him, was a candidate before the Wadesboro convention I'01' re-nomination and Gov. Vance could not op pose him ; the second was, that public sentiment baib crystallized and it was no longer.., a matter of doubt that the whole ieople of the State looked to him K. - - as the man who should deliver them ot Radicalism.- Here were the two paths stretching out ..be-, fore him the path of pleasure and the path of duty. The one course belli out ftr Tunr'a seat 'in Congress, as lohg as he wouia consent to oqcupy. it; it ottered him ease and a lmndsome competency. The other was a thorny way, and there were lions in the path; success was doubtful in the extreme; this was then a Republican State bya large majority of the popular vote, and for a competi tor he had the most powerful and most respectable man in the ranks of his enemy j one who' was a gentleman by lineage aHd by breeding a man of edu cation, and one skilled and experienced in.theiiise qf ajl the weapons of politi cal warfart. Thi ! as no nleasant prospect ; yet, even if the issue was suc cessful, what was the individual result? jiisjt tins: 'the. occupation of an office which he had held before, and from which he had reaped all the honor that it could bestow upon him ; its net compen sation! was less than the' practice' -of his profession offered him ; its duties were onerous, and the conscientious per fmnian.ctj, ot7 these musi make him mimy eneinies of tliostj who were be fore bis friends. tinder the circumstances many of his best and warmest friends urged him to take the course to which his preference leaned ; but preferring sacrifice at the com tnaitd'bfhis people he closed his ears against this advice forgot himself and his own. interests and cheerfully as sumed the burden which was laid upon his shoulders. How he bore himself during the months which followed is a part' of "history " winch need not be related here, but that victory crowned his brilliant and lalorious campaign is, it may be said, a truth which has been by many too soon for-, gotten. This is all the reply that need be made to arty intimation thatf Gov. Vance "sought the gubernatorial chair" for any purpose wUatsoever, immediate or'Hdte rior. That he luw used the gubernatorial omce to advance lus prospects for flip i no idare character for truths will make! the charge direct.

IilSSIi AND THE BERLIN TREATY. Protest of Signatories Against Failure to Execute It. Her London, October 29. A special from Vienna to the Independence Beige, of Brussels, says England has addressed a protest to Russia against her non-execution of the treaty of Berlin ; but the Times, in a leading editorial article, while admitting that the time has come when some step must be taken,' thinks the collective representation of the powders will be most effectual, and be lieves that France, Austria and Ger many will not hesitate to unite with England in protecting the provisions of the treaty. London, October 29. The Pall Mall Gazette editorially declares that the treaty of Berlin is a failure and that it will be impossible to arrive at a pacific solution on its lines, and that the sooner this fact is recognized the better. "Peace," it says, "must be commanded by commanding the arrest of thje reck less power which has kept Europe in commotion for ' years ' past and now .tiireateiisto break away "-from all law and all restraint. - it this is only to be done in concert, and concert is a give-and-take matter for the benefits of which- all parties must pay something, it follows that we should not Shrink from any price in reason.

Secretary Evarts further writes: "So grave a question in its bearing upon the obliga tions of this government under the treaty, makes it necessary that the President should ask from her majesty's government a frank avowal or dis avowal of the paramount authority of provincial legislation to regulate "the enjoyment of our people of the inshore fishery, which seems to be intimated if not asserted, in Lord Salisbury's note. Before the receipt of a reply from her majesty's government, it would be pre mature to consider what would be the course of this government should this limitation upon the treaty privileges of the United States be' insisted upon by the British government as their con struction of the treaty." BEACONS VIED ILL. Great Uneasiness on Account of the Condition of the Great Premier. New York, October 29. A London special says the air is heavy concerning the illness of Lord Beaconsfield. The long strain made on his mental powers in not only the matter of the Berlin treaty but in carrying on a more or less acrimonious warfare with Mr. Glad stone, has seriously undermined his constitution. In this critical state of things the cabinet has been summoned to consider what should be done in case of his lordship's deatli. It is now known that after the last meeting of the cabinet he was attacked by an epi leptic fit which nearly had the effect of bringing to an end the eventful career of this remarkable man. So severe was the attack that it was feared his life would be endangered if he were imme diately removed. He was therefore compelled to remain for several hours in a waiting room at Hugendon before it was considered safe to transfer him to his carriage. He was driven home in charge of a physician who has since admitted that he had fears of fatal re sults from the fatigue of this, means of transport. The medical man lias been criticised for not ordering an invalid carriage for his illustrious patient. A bulletin received in this city this morning announces that Beaconsfield is better and rapidly rallying toward his former state of health." Much anxiety, however, prevails. WASHINGTON ITEMS. Washington, October 29. The "an nual report of the Land Oflice Commis sioner shows that in the last fiscal year over 8,500,000 acres of public lands were disposed of.

Washington, October 29. Military advices from the Rio Grande represent affairs on the border as more peaceable. The assertion is made that there is a larger number of incursions into Mex ico by Indians from this country than by Mexicans into Texas. The troops on both sides are on friendly terms with each other and are acting together in their efforts to prevent raiding, and, consequently, to preserve peace. Mexican-American Exhibition on Tapis. City of Mexico, via New Orleans, Oct. 29. The- minister of public works announces that the government, at the suggestion of Zamacona, is about to nominate a commission to organize a special exposition to take place at a conveniently early date for the exhibi tion exclusively of American and Mex ican productions, soon to be held in this city -under the direct auspices of the government. Tin- Aji oaihlfig Elect ioiw end the il ill Its Effect Discounted. Outrage Special to the Baltimore Sun. Washington, October 27. The re frain of the bloody shirt has been taken up with great vigor by the Radical prpss and speakers, and from now un til Tuesday week the cry will be un ceasing. In 1874 a, ' regular "outrage mill " was set up in the' Department of Justice, and outrages were manufactur ed by the cord and dispatched from here all over the country. The answer to this' infamous style of party tactics was a nearly two-thil'ds Democratic m ajority in the Ilotise Of Representa tives.

A Washington dispatch to the New York Graphic says it is understood that Gen. John Gibbon has preferred charges against Gen. John Pope for conduct un becoming an officer and a gentleman. The charges are said to be bused upon the publication by Gen. Pope, so long ago as 1869, of a pamphlet, which at that time created considerable stir in the army, entitled, "A brief statement of the case of Fitz John Porter." Gen. Sherman reports that the 150 renegade Cheyennes, including Chiefs Dull Knife and Old Crow, captured by companies B and D, third cavalry, un der Capt. J. B. Johnson and Lieut. J. C. Thompson, were brought into camp on Chadron creek, October 24th, during a violent snow storm. The Indians, as before reported, revolted and entrench ed themselves, but after suffering a seige and much cold and hunger, sur rendered finally under the threat of Capt. Caiieton to blow them from the face of the earth. Foreign Bank Bates. London, October 29. French capi talists took good three months' bills here yesterday as low as 5 per cent, dis count.

A further re turn of both gold and notes from Scot land is anticipated. English Cotton Spinning Statistics. L indon, October 29.

New York's Free Bath A report has been made of the at tendance at the free baths of New York during the summer months" About 950,000 persons enjoyed these privileges, a fair proportion being girls and women. Few accidents occurred and, considering the number of bathers, there was very little bad behavior or criminal acts. The baths next year will ;be multiplied in some instances, three or four being put in the place oi the single" ones' usedf last summer. A Bewarkable Besult.
