The members of the Democratic Ex ecutive committee for the sixth con gressional district are requested to meet in Charlotte on the 29th of April, 1880, to decide when and where the conven tion will assemble to nominate a candi date for Representative and to take utich other action m they may deem J proper. R. T. Bennett, V;idesl.or. N. C Ch'n. April mil, 1S80. I OK. A. M. SOAI.KS. Of Uie men vln lioiior North Caro lina in the Feili r;il ConiesH, few do so more creditably tlian the gentleman whose name heads this article. lie ably represents tle lif tit congressional district in theiirwor house of Confess, and his name is the very synonym of integrity. A quiet boom" has been started in his interest in favor of his , candidacy for Governor, but it is believ ed that it has been inspired by those who would like to see a vacancy in the congressional representation of his dis tticL, so that the mantle-might fall on other shoulders. AVe have no desire to dictate to tiie people of the 6fth dis trict, and of all the names mentioned for the governorship, none would have a more hearty support from The Ob server than General Scales, but we do believe that it would be better to keep bim in the harness at Washing ton. His experience there will be worth more to us, as a State, than his services, eminent as we would expect them to be, as Goyernor. We publish below an interview with him, Which we find published in the last issue of the Greensboro Patriot.' 'Your constituents would be glad to hear from you on national affairs gen erally : what is Congress doing V etc. "There is an unusually large number at-important bills before Congress, many of which have been favorably re ported, and are now on the calendar, and more still that have not come from the committee rooms. The appiopria tion bills are being rapidly passed through, and we hope to make a con siderable reduction in the amouut ap propriated for the last fiscal year. "Thfi first vp.ar l.h;ir. flip. I)ptrinpr!li party came into power in the House, tney saved tiie country nearly thirty saved minions oi uoiiars, ana every year since we have continued the reduction, and will continue to doso until we reach the smallest sum that will be sufficient to meet all the necessary demands of the government, honestly and economi cally administered. "There. are important tariff reforms; fSachas free salt and the reduction of duty on woollen goods, &c, which are prepared and will, if posssible be pass ed. "The inter-State commerce bill regu lating, as far as is practicable, railroad freights, has been adversely reported from the committee; but if we can reach it on the calendar, my opinion is that the bill, as presented by Judge Reagan, of Texas, will pass by a good majority. It is a good bill, and the people throughout the country are deeply interested in it." "My bill to abolish the tax on brandy is still in the committee, and so is one introduced by Gov. Armfield, proposing to reduce the tax on brandy, whiskey and leaf tobacco, as I understand it. These bills are of much importance, and have been pressed with zeal in and out of the committee. They are zeal ously fough by the government, but I believe that ultimately these taxes must and will be repealed." "The government paid off last month about fifteen millions of the public debt, and if the country is prosperous, as it now promises, there is no reason why the people should not to a great extent be relieved of all these internal Durdens. .rhe question embraces a great deal, but my time will not allow me to go further into it." , We are very much interested in your bills asking for an appropriation for the erection of a . public building at Greensboro, also for the centennial cel ebration of the battle of Guilford Court Hou3e. March 15th, 1881, and the erec tion of a monument to the memory of Gen. Nathaniel Greene. Will you be good enough to -give us some informa tion a to the status of these bills.? "The bill to erect a public building in the city of Greensboro for court house, postoffice, &c, was unanimously re ported from the committee on public buildings and grounds, and I do not be lieve there has been a moment since its favorable report, when it would not . have passed the House. It is now on the calendar with some bills of the same character and a large number of others, and the only difficulty is in reaching it If I can do this, and I have strong hopes at present, it will pass the House." The centennial atmronriatinn 1a hw fore the Yorktown centennial commit- uee. mr. uavis, pi jn ortn juarounai is on tnat committee and he will do all Tie can to .secure a Jfayprable report and a favorable report will, I think, secure ks passage. ' , r r p j , , ., Is Jarvis a good campaigner? The Durham Recorder thinks .that he will be equal4 td tbe emergencies whickithe commg tampaignmay create, and says: ".uis eloquence may not be of that Jrillianmpassioned kind which car ries an audience by storm, or captf vates it by beauty of language or richness or niustEation.

The Republicans of this congression al district are putting on a bold front The actiortsi ; the, exepuUyeDiittee nr. its mppt i a T-tj: t-lii-i.tr nnWv I miuuMuuiD a uBi, uug w suing campaign, or at least we are not to have a walk-over, as we had last year. But there was another feature in the proceedings, which is more note Worthy than this : In the face of the action of theStatecommitteo in tryingto give over the vote of the State to Sher- man in tne unicago convention, uu committee instructed Its ddlegat&s, a$- cordintr to dhr information, tdvote for Grant first, last and all the time. This is positively rebeHioos, and the like o'f it was never seen in the camp of the North Carolina Republicans before. Heretofore the executive committee has issued its commands nd; the'taitb ful have submissively bowed and step ped into line. But there is likely to be still further discord. Col. W. R. Myers, one of the delegates, is an avowed oppo nent of Grant for the third term, and he generally has opinions of his; dwA attd sticks to them. . Advices from ColAmbia show very clearly that it was W. P. Clyde who bought the Greenville & Columbia Rail road. W. A. Courtney, who bid it off, is agent of the Clyde Line in Charles ton. That city has, however, it is said, received assurances it will not be oper ated against her interest. Maj. Cum mings,of Atlanta, was the next highest bidder, but it does not appear to be known what corporation he represent ed. Mr. Best is evidently intent upon no entangling alliances, whatever may be his ultimate purposes. By turning in $50,000, he und hfo"associatesare ndw sole proprietors of the Western North Carolina Railroad. The unanimity with which fiU proposition to buy the private interests was accepted by the stockholders serves to show how anx ious the people were to have nothing more to do with the road. If, as is reported and believed to be true, Mr. Clyde of steamship fame, has bought the Pensylvania Central's inter est in the Richmond & Danville Rail road, and Mr. Best is representing the Richmond & Danville Railroad inter- terest, is the desire of Mr. Best to se cure the Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad a mystery '? Only a sugges tion. The Carolina Central is to be sold soon. Mr. Tilden declines to be interviewed on the subject of the recent announce ment that he would have read a letter before the Syracuse convention with drawing from the contest for the Presi dential nomination. This doesn't sig nify whether the report is true or not. The convention meets on next Tuesday, when he will be compelled to show his hand. The. friends of Mr. Walter P. Cald well, of Greensboro, are strongly urging his claims upon the party as -the Demo cratic nominee for Attorney-General. Mr. Caldwell would receive a cor dial support, especially in Western North Carolina. He was for a long time solicitor of theStatesville district, and is a lawyer of ability. THE TREATY OF 1S50. Tlie Jlenroe Doctrine aad the ImIIiiiium - Canal. - Washington, April 16. The House committee on foreign affairs, to which was reierred the several joint resolu tions relating to the Monroe doctrine in connection with the proposed inter- oceanic canal, reported to the House to day a substitute for those measures, which provides that steps shall at once be taken to-abrogate the treaty of April 18th, 1850, between the- United States and Great Britain, commonly known as the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, by which tne contracting powers bind themselves to guarantee jointly the safety and free dom of any canal which should be con structed across the central American isthmus. The committee reports that this treaty is an obstacle and possible peril in the way of a complete and pa cific assertion of a sound, necessary and vigorous American policy.

An amendment onered oy HooKer, or Jiississippi, striking out the section ap propriating $10,000 tor tne expenses or the Indian commissioners, and repeat ing the statutes providing tor the lat ter's appointment, was adopled without division. On motion of Wellborn, of Texas, aa amendment was adopted prohibiting the officers or agents or army or Indian bureau from giving permission to, , any Indian on any reservation to go ruto the State of Texas. Hooker, of Mississippi, offered an amendment transferring the Indian bureau from the Interior to the War Department. Such transfer to take ef fect at tne expiration or tne next nscai year.

London, April 16 A Raaiitrotn dis patch confirms the denial of the Bur mese ambassador of the reports of the massacres at Mandalay. The Times, in an editorial, cordiallv welcomes James Russell Lowell and M. Leon Say, as ambassadors to Eng land. London, April 16. A dispatch from Cork to the Times says a petition will be lodged in the House of Commons on behalf of Mr. Kettle, Parnellite candi date for Parliament, who was defeated in Cork county by Colonel David Cal- tiiurst.iome Ruler. The ground of the petition will be that clerical influ ence was used against Mr. Kettle. A Uublin dispatch to the Times savs the result of the Cork county election is one of the greatest surprises of the times. It was confidently believed that Mr. Kettle would replace Colonel CaUhurst. and the only question up to the'declara tion oi tne poll seemed to be whether he or Mr. Shaw would be the senior member. The defeat of Mr. Parn ell's nominee after such tremendous efforts to secure his return, is a heavy blow to Mr. Parnell's dictatorship, antl the suc cessful stand made by the Catholic cler gy and the respectable laity, including doubtless many conser?atmcyitt be regarded as a great moral ?iefry Th EsglUh Races.
