Vice-President Hendrickst is not fr.ee from errors of judgment, one of the last at -which is' the publication of the fol lowing cafdi -K rT J Indianapolis, March SI,1 1879 To , Esq. My Dear Sir; 1 have your favor of the 28th, asking whether there is any foundation for th$ statement contained in the newspaper slip which you inclosed, to the effect that I have written to members of the Democratic party favoring the renomination of the ticket of 1876 for 1880. 1 am surprised to see such a statement. It , is without any foundation in truth. T have writ ten no such letter, and have in no form expressed any such view. I did not, as is known, desire the nomination in 1876 as a candidate for the vice-presidency, and do not think it would, in any con tingency, be my duty again to accept a nomination for a position which I do not desire, Very respectfully, T. A. Hendricks. The Louisville Courier-Journal, a warm friend of Mr. Hendricks, evident ly believes that . u faithful are the wounds of a friend," and henceit again admonishes Mr. Hendricks, saying to him what follows: Governor Hendricks commits, and continues to' commit, the folly of rush ing into print. As ma,ttei3 stand, he has the public confidence and respect If he does not look to it, he will fall into a certain disrepute, which no man, ca.n survive. Tli,e Philadelphia Times likewise says : l,f Governor Hendricks should suc ceed in making people believe, that he wouldn't take the second pl,ace on. any presidential ticket he might be lost to public, view for the future, Arwi again in a leading editorhthe Times says: It Ja not by any means certain that he'will be placed in a like position in 1880, but if there should be an over whelming sentiment in the convention in favor of the old ticket, Governor Hendricks would be no more at liberty to decline then than he was in 1876. His State is one of the States that must' be carried in a close contest to give any promise of Democratic success, and Governor Tilden's Stpte is the. other great battle-ground in tlie North. While it is possible far a Democratic President to.' have enough electoral Voesi to spare either New York or In diana, it is not within the range of ossibility for the Democratic ticket to be elected if either of those States should vote for the Republican candi dates. The tide that would make both New York and Indiana Democratic would be likely to carry with it New Jersey, Connecticut and Oregon and make Ohio, Wisconsin, Nevada and California debatable; but a: tide that would carry either New jYork or Indiana from the Democratic column, wouldn't leave any of the contested States within range of Democratic suc cess. If Tilden shall redeem New York to the Democracy next fall, and command the vote of his State in the convention with anything like unani mity, his renomination will be as certain as anything in the future, and Hendricks will be compelled to accept the second place ; but if New York shall be lost in November. Tilden will not be in the race in 18S0. This is exactly the way it looks now, and the mistake of Mr. Hendricks in repeatedly urging his claims to the first place on the ticket, and as repeatedly declaring that he will not accept the second place, is only equalled by the mistake made by some of our excellent D3mocratic contemporaries in declar ing that they cannot with any grace accept Mr. Tilden as the. Democratic presidential nominee in 1880. ' Present indications point very strongly-to his nomination and present utterances prejudicial to his case may prove very embarrassing at a future time, Some time since, B. II. Rrown manager of the Western Union Tele graph office at St. Louis, was im prisoned for declining to produce in evidence certain telegrams in his pos session, and the Court of Appeals has Just now refused an application for a writ of habeas corpus in his case, there by deciding against the inviolability of telegrams. This means that while a letter is a private document a telegram is not. The case will go to the Supreme Court of the State. What to Do. The Lynchburg News, which is level-headed upon all matters, has about "the rights" of this deadlock business at Washington. "Let Congress adjourn at ;once," it says, "and let trifling with thjs. hypo critical usurper and chaffering with his hirelings and masters end. We have the purse and the people, he has the patronage and the sword. We can save our money if we cannot 1 have our rights." The gtapljip.and entertaining report in our telegraphic columns in reference t3 the state 'of affairs in St Petersburg, indicates that the situation there is critical and alarming. The letter reads like a novel depicting the reign of ter ror in France and if half that, is told be true the Czar must "set him sure." The government advertises for the letting, on the . loth of July 1 next, of L274 postal routes in different States of Union, service to commence a the first day of October. " Among" these are 45 new routes in North Carolina, and our P03tal facilities in this State will, after the date given, be increased by so much. Among the young men who were graduated Tuesday at Princeton college, New J ersey, was James Morrison Bark ley, of Statesville, North Carolina. MovemenU of Chilian and JPeravUn rj , ,TCar? Fleet. .

The question came-up as unfinished business of yesterday on postponement of the bill reported from the coinage committee amending the statutes relat ing to coinage and to gold and silver bullion certificates. The pending ques tion was on ordering the main question on the resolution, and it was ordered yeas 115, nays 107. The resolution was then adopted. Sparks, of Illinois, has called up the order made yesterday to reconsider the army appropriation bill, and the House is now voting upon the question wheth er, upon reconsideration, the House will pass the bill, notwithstanding the objections of the President No debate has been permitted upon the motion. The House refused to pass the army appropriation bill over the President's veto, the vote standing, yeas 120, nays 110 not the necessary two-thirds in the affirmative. It was strictly a party vote. Only three of the Greenbackers voted for the bill, nine voting against it. Kitchin, of North Carolina, rising to a question of privilege, denounced an allusion to himself which appeared in a speech printed in tb,e Record as the speech of his colleague Russell. He characterized the speech as infamously false and slanderous, but said that he was not surprised at his colleague's vio lating every parliamentary rule and every rule of decency and propriety.

Gourko, the governor-general, is promulgated,1 then we shall have nothing to do but quietly squat down in our chambers in the evening; for how are we going to get such certificates and attestation after 'that hour? It will not be necessary to light a candle before half past nine o'clock and yet at nine o'clock, just as in the barracks, every light must be put out. "The measures are certainly stringent, but at the same time the insecurity of St. Petersburg is daily on the increase. Every day we hear of grenades explod ed in the streets. Happily there have not .:. been serious consequences.- t-For the present the intention of the Nihilists is believed to be to keep the police in a state of constant excitement and. at last tire them out or lull them to sleep with the idea that the danger has been exaggerated.; They also reckon on harsh measures and arrest producing dis content among many people, who when the time comes for the grand attack on the government, Would join the revolu tionists. 'In -the iglrt between- Friday -and Saturday seditious placards were found stuck np in. the ticinity of the theatres, and at the corners of the business streets, and although the city police and the detectives at once hurried up and tore down the manifestoes, they nevertheless appeared anew, as though conjured if orth from the i wall by en chantment.

Among all those taken the police failed to find in a single case as much as a scrap of paper which appeared to have anything to do with the proclamation. The mysterious bill-sticker, on the oth er hand, "went on with his work inde fatigably, and the police could not succeed in discovering him. The alarm at last became so gre.it that two compa nies, under command of Col. DeBey, marched, out and were posted at the entrances to a number of houses and in the street. When the guard had its attention called to the right, bills were posted up on the left, and after they had been torn down oh the left, there on the right again appeared the mani festoes or the men of the revolution. "Sines the attempt on the life of the Czar,troops haye been held in readiness day and night la every regiment two companies in marching oder, equipped with ball, cartridge-and all the accesso ries requisite for active operation, are kept constantly, under arms. Batteries stand ready horsed and mounted in the barrack, yards.. A squadron of cavalry stands in constant .readiness to mount, and day and, night divisions of Cossacks patrol the streets. On the 16th a peas ant was arrested in whose pockets were found dispositions for revolutionary troops. According to this document acti ve operations were to commence on the night between the ilftth and nth. Instantly the government ' fnade the most extensive preparations for de fence. The Grand Duke Nicholas took up bis quarters with his entire staff in the offices of the general staff opposite the winter palace. In the riding school of the gu.irJs a regiment of hussars of the guards were quartered, while the barracks of the Paoloff and Picoban jenkski regiments were crammed full of troops and the whole artillery of the guards received orders to hold itself in readiness for immediate action. The troops continued ' several days" and nights in the places assigned them, but the revolution did not break out. Probably the whole story of an intend ed out-break was an intentional mysti fication." i 1 - ' High Waters and More Damige In Han gary. Vienna, May 1.

The lines on which the strikes took place were the Anchor, French, Morgans, Old Dominion, Pacific Mail, State, Gui on, Cunard, White Star and a few oth ers. The places of the strikers are taken by the crews of the vessels and it is said the companies will not be much incon venienced the present week as the steamships are nearly all laden. The police have perfected arrange ments to supress any outbreak should one occur, but the strikers are quiet and orderly and will, they .say, stand to gether for their rights.

So, when the municipal year is drawing to a close and the efficient Sayor is looking around for a worthy citizen to wear his mantle, be certain ly expects the members of the mercantile fraterni ty to be vigilant in selecting a "good stock of FAMILY GROCERIES AND SUPPLIES, So that every family can be supplied without pay ing exorbitant prices; wherefore, F.
