gold ani;pa?eb:;- " ;
WA8HiNGTorrJanuiary i-rThe treasn
ury of the United States seemed the on
ly place to-day where resumption was
not considered in order. , Several per
sons carried greenbacks to the treasury
and asked for coin, and were very much
surprised to hear that the exchange for
coin could only- be made at the sub
treasury in New York City. This igno
rance of the law seemed somewhat
queer after all the discussion on the
subject jwbichjhas been going on so ac
tively fpr two months. A member of
Congress rushed up wijh fifty dollars in
Sreenbacks and asked for fifty gold
ollars; . When informed that he could
not get them he expressed the most in
tense surprise and indignation, anu usea
such vigorous language as to attract
quite a crowd to the vicinity of the cash
room. He said that as soon as Congress"
met he would introduce a bill directing
that the legal tenders shall be redeemed
at the sub-treasuries in all the cities,
and most certainly at headquarters in
Washington." It does seem somewhat
strange that at the treasury itself re
sumption is nott in operation. liy di
rection of the Secretary payment in coin
uf the gold bearing coupons was also
refused to-day, and parties were told
that they could .only have greenbacks
or a gold draft on New York. This ac
tion of the Secretary was criticised quite
severely, and it was said that he would
grobably have to revoke the order. It
as always been the custom to pay
these coupons in coin, as demanded on
their face, when presented at the treas
ury, and it was difficult to understand
why the rule should be changed. The
only reason given by the Secretary was
that he proposed to do everything to
make greenbacks equal with gold.; As
a number of the banks have been pay
ing out gold when requested for a week
or more, there was nothing unusual ob
served at.the bank counters to-day, ex
cept that most everyone wanted green
backs and not gold. The Secretary of
the Treasury received a number of dis
patches from New York and other cities
all in the most encouraging tones. He
appeared so perfectly satisfied with the
situation that he did not think it worth
while to take up much time with Ihe
discussion of the financial situation
But he was ready to talk about politics
and particularly Ohio politics. He said,
laughingly, that he saw some of the
Democratic newspapers out there had
nominated him in advance as the Re
publican candidate for Governor, but
that he had scarcely given the subject a
thought, and he did not think, if he
knew nimsftiutnat ne would be a can
didate for Governor. Under the new
order of the Secretary a large amount
of standard silver dollars was shipped
by express to various points this after
noon. The secretary says tnere will be
no discrimination against tne silver doi
lar, but the effort of the department
will be to maintain the double standard
as fixed by act of Congress. All distinc
tion between gold, silver and green
backs was, to-day wiped out on the lo
cal books of the department, and it will
disappear entirely from all the books as
soon as tne December returns are in,
A dispatch was received from New
York stating that over $20,000 in green
backs had been paid In for customs du
ties. The coinage of silver far the month
of December was only $2,057,000, which
was pretty close to the minimum limit
fixed by Congress. This was purposely
done by. the, department, as the im
mense accumulation of silver is becom
ing inconvenient.
THE ELECTION INVESTIGATION.
Senator Teller made a statement on
the floor of the Senate, during the pen
dency of Mr. Blaine's investigation res
olution, charging gross frauds, etc., up
on the Democrats in the recent election
in Colorado. Mr. Patterson, the present
Democratic member from Colorado, re
plies over his own signature to the
statement, the accuracy of which he
disputes. He then goes on to make sev
eral distinct formal charges of violence,
intimidation and fraud perpetrated to
carry the election for the Republicans.
Mr. Patterson requests Mr. Teller to
give the committee, of which he is
chairman, the opportunity to investi-
gate these charges, the truth of which
e stands ready to prove. A number of
affidavits of Massachusetts workingmen
have also been received here, in which
they assert that they were coerced into
voting against Butler by the threats of
their employers that they would be dis
charged if they refused to do so. These
documents, with a letter of Senator
Thurman, will be made the basis by
the Democratic members of the com
mittee of .a motion to investigate elec
tions in certain of the Northern States.
Theret is apparently a determination on
the part of the majority of the commit
tee to confine its work to the investiga
tion ot Louisiana and South Carolina
affairs for as long a period as can be, as
we are informed that there will be no
meetingrt the full committee until
the sub-committee returns from New
Orleans, .two: or three, weeks hence.
There is no good reason why a sub-committee
should not be detailed to investi
gate the Northern elections, , against
which charges have been made, simul
taneously with the investigation in the
South, Senators Bayard and Wallace
could do some effective work in Massa
chusetts, Pennsylvania and New York
in this line, and they ought to be at it.
THE CIPHER TELEGRAMS.
A friend of Mr. Tilden says he is sat
isfied that that gentleman has not made
any direct intimation to the effect that
ne wouldTike for the Pottercommittee
to inquire into the cipher telegram bus
iness, yet he is satisfied that Mr. Tilden
would be glad to have the committee
make the examination. Mr. Tilden. he
says, must realize perfectly well that if
matters stand as at present he cannot
bo considered as a candidate before the
Democratic convention in 1880. He
savs also that, in h:s opinion, the com
mittee will go into that examination be
fore the session is over.
Sadden Death of a Lady.
Mrs. Sarah C. Adams, a well known
lady of Brooklyn, died in a carriage in
front of the Kew York Hospital on
Tuesdav nieht Mrs. Adams had been
ailing for some time.:-' She went to Bos

BEECHER TO 8T0Pt LECTURING.
a Think HU Skv Thoroueh!v Cleared isain.
Henry Ward Beecher announced at
his Friday night prayer-meeting in
Plymouth church that he should make
no more lecturing tours, and said; "You
all know the storm I nave passeu;
through, and it often happens wnen
there has been a storm that that the
sky will not clear immediately, ii Keeps
lowering after the tempest has spent,
its force. ' I must say . in reference to
that matter, however, that during all
my travels in tne year mac is yaair
and I have been in nearly every North
ern and western uiie a uavc uici
with nothing but Kindness and consid
eration. Indeed, I have been every
where received with more Kindness and
tenderness than I ever was beiore. it
is very little to you,l Know; out tne
opinion or my ieiiow-men is giet
deal to me; and I feel grateful that
God has sustained me tnrougn sucn
great trials and brought me at last into
a haven of peace. For, although I am
of that build, I think, that I could be
happy and pursue my work pleasantly
with the bad opinion of all about me,
if my conscience only was right, yet the
good report of men about me is very
precious, xou wno nave uecu mm
me in the wilderness and the Red Sea
will be glad with me to know and feel
that the sky has thoroughly cleared
once more; for, tnougn fnaraon is not
dead yet, I imagine that most of his
horses have been overturned, his host
overwhelmed by the waters and his
munitions of war destroyed."
Politics in a Smoking Car.
W. Hampton Harris In the Wilmington Sun
George B. Everitt, the member elect
from Forsythe county, was on the train
New Year's day, on his way to Golds
boro. George is a powerful sharp fel
low, but when you make him mad, he
don't care what he does, how he votes,
or what party he runs with. He was a
Democrat in Cabarrus, but was elected
by the Republicans in Forsythe last
summer to represent that county in the
Legislature. We recognized him on the
cars and ventured to make a brief in
terview. "You seem to be afraid of getting
left, George on your way to Raleigh a
week before the Legislature meets T we
said.
"No," he replied, good humoredly, "I
will go to Goldsboro and come up to
answer the roll-call Monday."
"How are you going to vote in regard
to the United States Senatorship
Vance or Merrimon r
" Well, really, I don't know. Haven't
made up my mind yet, but think I will
vote for Merrimon. Think I will."
" In your opinion, which of the two
stands the best chance of being elect
ed?"
" Yance, undoubtedly. I think Vance
will be elected."
Just here an old gentleman from
Guilford, who occupied one seat with
himself and another with a lot of house
hold furniture, slapped his knees with
his hands and roared loud enough to be
heard by all in the train :
" Say that agin, stranger, and I'll take
the contract for keeping your family in
turnips next tall.
Everybody began to talk Merrimon
and Vance then, and the canvass was
kept up hot until the train stopped at
Raleigh for dinner. There were but
three "black balls" on board.
"Raleigh. Four hours for dinner,'
snouted tne brak.ero.an, and two men
Earted an old fellow who got on at
mrham and was pounding a young
man from Rockingham. They hitched
as the tram was passing the peniten
tiary, and three other hghts had been
agreed for as soon as they should get
through. Captains Dodson, Waitt, Co-
ley and other conductors say that things
nave got so now that V ance and Merri
mon can hardly be discussed on board
their trains unless they are required to
keep clown a row or two.
Racing Prospects for 1379.
From the N. Y. HeraldJ '
Xever were the racing prospects of
the country so encouraging as at the
present time. From all the leading as
sociations in the land cheering accounts
reach us of largely increased numbers
of entries for the stakes to be run for.
At home our jockey clubs are flourish
ing satisfactorily, the American bavins
a large balance sheet for 1878, with the
prospect of having it considerably aug
mented the coming vear. The Monmoth
Park and Saratoga associations have
become reconciled about their times of
meeting, and taking into consideration
the favorable reports that reach here
from the various training stables in the
neighborhood that have entries for the
several fixed events at Jerome Park for
1879, besides the new stables which are
being formed and the increase of new
and active members to the American
Jockey Club, we see in all of these a
revival of confidence and an increased
interest in turf matters throughout the
land. The breeders of thoroughbred
horses are alive to the occasion, and
fresh importations of the best blood of
Great Britain and France are being
made to keep up the quality as well as
the quantity of high-mettled horses for
racing purposes.
Mr. Blaine's Witnesses Dccl'Ding.
Hon. C. G. Memminerer. of Charles
ton, S. C, who was one of the wit
nesses named by Senator Blaine as
possessing a knowledge of the alleged
election outrages in that State, has ad
dressed a card to the Charleston News
and Courier, in which he savs Mr.
Blaine's confidence must have been
sadly abused when he put his (Memmin-
gers) name among the witnesses to
prove fraud at the recent election. He
was in the mountains during the sum
mer, and knows no more about the
election than Mr. Blaine does. Mr.
Campbell, of Charleston, another of Mr.
Blaine's witnesses, says he has nothing
to communicate wnicn would neip Air,

CONGRATULATORY.
In looking back over the business of the year
now just ending, I feel very thankful to my many
friends and the public generally, for the liberal
support they have given me In my efforts to supply
the wants our city with a, FIRST-CLASS Grocery,
where anything in the grocery line can be found,
and I flatter myself that I have filled the want to
the entire satisfaction of my numerous patrons.
- In the future, as in the past, I propose to keep a
strictly first-class stock of ; t .
FANCY AND HEAVY GROCERIES,
AND
CONFECTIONERIES,
and assure the public that no effort of mine shall
be spered to please, and I sha'l always keep on
hand the best and most complete stock that the
demands of my customers may require, and now
call attention to 'he fact that I have the agency
here for the celebrated
BRIDG E WATER FAMILY FLOUR.
the best In America, as attested by the fact of its
having recelvd the first silver medal at Paris. I
have also just received 25 barrels of STONEWALL
Family Flour, and 20 barrels of Baltimore Family
Flour, both of which are very good flours -equal to
any sold in this market except Bridge water. . . -
Also something very nice in 'he way of Family
Cheese, Pickled Pigs' Tongue and . many other
novelties. Very Respectfully.
LeROY DAVIDSON.
