Oar Washington correspondent in Sunday's issue furnished us some in teresting information in reference to the independent movement now in pro gress in this State, and supplements it with further particulars which we pub lish to-day. We also reproduce from the Washington Republican of Monday an editorial substantiating in the main the assertions of our correspondent and furnishing a few more particulars on the same head,- While news of this kind may be a surprise to some of our readers, it is no surprise to The Obser ver, which months ago expressed the opinion that such a more was on foot and gave warning against it. Some of our cotemporaries thought we were hasty, and that we took counsel from our fears rather than from our judg ment, and they were disposed to make light of the probability or even possi bility of any independent movement in this State. When we asserted that this move would be made we were not in dulging in mere guess work, nor hazard ing random utterances simply for the purpose of saying something. We knew what we were talking about ; knew that the move would be made, though we did not know who the titled recruits in the coalition advance were to be. It is now.taking such shape that there can no tenger be any doubt about it. It is a fact. We must so accept it, so treat it, and so discuss it. As far as Mahonizing North Carolina is concerned that is a misnomer, for thqre is no foundation for such a move, the State debt not being a subject of discussion, and consequently not in politics, unless these gentlemen intend to re-open the question bespousing the cause of the special tax bondholders, who met in New York a few days ago alid resolved to push their claims with all the power they could bring to their aid. (And here let us remark, paren thetically, that if this new movement succeeds and the State be wrested from 1 the hands of the Democracy this ques tion will be re-opened, and these $20, 000,000 of special tax bonds will be sad- . died upon the State, and will be recog nized as a part of her legitimate debt.) What then is the cause of complaint of these self -constituted leaders of the independent movement, that calls for a halt from, and a war upon the Demo cratic party, which saved the State from the clutches of the very men with whom they propose to coalesce? Has that party forfeited its claim to public confidence by failing to recognize their towering worth, brilliant talents, and pre-eminent fitness to lead it? Has it chosen other captains and thus given 1 offence to them ? Or has time demon strated that Republican rule with its record of lawlessness, extravagance and corruption is preferable to the Demo cratic administration that succeeded it? Do they suppose that, handful as they are, they can remodel that party, and make of it something different, some thing better than what it has been, what it is; draft a code of political morals, call in the tough old sinners of the Radical camp, wash them, make them subscribe to the new code, and turn them loose regenerate in whiteness? If so, we do not know which to admire most, their astonishing credulity or marvelous egotism, that believes such a thing possible, or that it were possible for them to do it. That the Democratic party may have erred in some respects we will not now deny, for the sake of argument we will admit it, and then ask has it erred so greivously that these gentlemen find reform impossible and absolute seve rance from it, and coalition with Radi cals necessary, for the reform they pro fess to desire? Have they labored within the party to remedy the evils of which they complain, before going out to cast their lot with the enemy ? Until they have done this, until they have made an honest effort to lift the party up and place it upon the elevated plane they claim it ought to stand upon, before deserting it, they lay themselves liable to criticism, and to the suspicion that they are actuated more by a desire to promote their own political fortunes than the cause of reform and of the people of which they assume to be the especial champions. LEGISLATIVE METHODS. The principal participants in the dia r.nssinn of the repeal of the Arrearage of Pensions Act in the Senate Monday, were Messrs. Voorhees, of Indiana, and Beck, of Kentucky, men whose reputa tion in the Senate and before the coun try will always give them hearers and readers. Mr. Voorhee3 took position against the repeal of the measure, as one but just to the soldier, and one which the government was bound in honesty and honor to stand by ; while his friend from Kentucky held that it was a fraud perpetrated on the Senate under disguise, in fact not the bill for which the honorable Senators supposed they were voting at all. He candidly confesses that he was imposed upon and voted for the bill supposing tnat he was voting for something entirely different. He thought he wa3 engaged in a small job, and when the work was done, lo, and behold, he and the balance of the "grave and reverend seniors' had brought into existence a full-grown elephant of ponderous proportions. This confession of how he was duped does credit to Mr. Beck's candor.though it does no credit to his judgment, nor to his attention to the business which the people of Kentucky sent him there to do. He informs us also that the bill was passed on the eve of adjournment, when many of the Senators were about to return for a re-election and conse quently disliked to put themselves on record against what was supposed to be a popular and patriotic measure, which shows that even patriotic Sena tors have an eye to No. 1, and that they are perfectly willing sometimes to vote away the people's money, and be liberal to the soldier, when it helps their chances for re-election. It is singular, very singular, taking Senator Beck's version of the passage of the bill as correct, that men entrust j ed with the high and responsible duties they are among the first men in the land in point of intellect and standing, should have been influenced by such unworthy motives or been so simple as to have been humbugged in the manner he asserts they were by a gang of pen sion agents. Singular, too, that any of them should have voted for a measure blindly, ignorantly, and then be com pelled to confess in open Senate that they were deceived by a set of sharp ers and didn't know what they were doing when they were voting away the people's money by millions. That is not the way United States Senators ought to do, and that is not the way they would do in business affairs, in which they themselves were interested, and where they themselves would have to pay the bills. Not one of them, sup posing him to be in the full possession of his senses, would enter into a con tract to pay money without kuowing the full contents and all the conditions of that contract, and it would be a poor excuse after awhile when he had found that he signed for more than he felt he ought to pay, that he didn't know what he was doing when he put his name to the reaper. And yet these Senators, with all the opportunities of studying the question, and all the facilities they could desire for acvuiring necessary in formation, vote away millions-they now confess they didn't know how many and never took the trouble to give the question inquiry enough to enable them to vote intelligently. As a sample of the Senatorial way of squandering the people's money we commend this as a first-class one of going it blind, not a very creditable showing, for a grave and dignified body to make. Perhaps, however, it may have the effect of causing them here after to look into measures before they pass them, and count the millions they are called upon to appropriate, before they appropriate them.

The resolution is preceded by a preamble stating that charges have been made that the great expense at tending the collection of the small in ternal revenue taxes is attributable to abuses among the officers of the inter nal revenue.

The motion was lost ; yeas, 107, nays 140. King, of Louisiana, moved to amend tha reoort so as to give the committee on the improvement of the Mississippi river power to report appropriations nn that subiect. Pending further action the speaker announced the appointment of Beach, of New York, upon the committee on public buildings and grounds in place of Hewitt, of New York, excused. The House then, at 4.45 in the after noon adjourned. The report of the committee on rules will come up to-morrow as unfinished business Senate. A number of petitions for a commission of inquiry concerning the alcoholic liquor traffic, for an increase of pay to members of the life saving service and by Plumb from citizens of Kansas for woman's suffrage were pre sented.

He How Ordinary mortals Become Giants when Touched ,np With the IVag-nifrins; Pencil of the Ing-eni-ous newspaper man. We clip the following from the Wash ington Republican of Monday : Developments here in the past few days relating to North Carolina politics and politicians have carried dismay into the ranks of the Bourbon Democrats in Washington, and are the occasion of the congratulations and rejoicings among the large number of Republicans and anti-Bourbon Democrats of the Old North State now sojourning in this city. These developments relate to the fact of a most remarkable stampede iust now in progress of prominent and life-long Democrats from the Bourbons desertions that bode naught but dis aster and defeat to the effete Democracy of the State named. within the past three ok four days Hon. Charles Price, former speaker of the lower house of the Legislature at Raleigh, and Col. Wm. Johnston, can didate for Governor against Vance in 1862, both among the very ablest, most popular, and influential Democrats of North Carolina, have avowed to Re- fiublicans here their decision most de iberately made, and final and ir revocable, to sever forever their con nection with Bourbon Democracy, and announced in most emphatic terms their purpose henceforth to co-operate heartily with the Republican party of their State, as Senators Mahone, Riddle berger, and thousands of other inde pendent Democrats of Virginia have been, and are now doing, in that State. IN AN INTERVIEW WITH THE PRESIDENT on Friday last, both Col. Johnston and Mr Price declared in most unmistakable language their decision and purpose as indicated above, and predicted that a coalition of the Republicans and inde pendent Democrats of North Carolina would be effected that would at the next election achieve a victory even more brilliant and administer to Bour bon Democracy a more crushing de feat than was done in Virginia last November. Recent desertions from Bourbon Democracy in the Old North State are by no means confined to the gentleman named. Within a very brief period Col. Folk, Hon. Nat Atkinson, Mr. Lenoir, all Democrats of marked abilities and wide-spread influence, and a host of others have announced the dissolution of the bands which have so long united them with Bourbonism, avowed their adhesion now and here after to THE INDEPENDENT DEMOCRACY, and their readiness for a union with the Republicans of their State for the over throw of the Bourbon party. Even the Hon. J. M. Leach, who headed the Han cock electoral ticket, and who is unsur passed as an orator in the whole State, only the other day said to a prominent North Carolina Republican that he "in tended to cast his vot9 for the next President of the United States," and added, significantly, "the next President will be a Republican." Senator Ran som, it would seem, sees clearly the ' hand-writing on the wall," indicating the decay and dissolution of Bourbon ism in his State, as appears from a re mark reported to h&ve been made by that distinguished North Carolinian the other day, namely : "That at the present rate of desertion from and de moralization or the Democracy or my State the party will have clean gone to hades at the close of another six months." In an interview with a rep resentative of the Republican Satur day, JUDGE BUXTON, THE REPUBLICAN CAN DIDATE. for Governor (and elected, but counted out by Bourbon fraud) in 1880, and Col. Cooper, chairman of the Republican executive committee of North Caroli na, said that when Col. Johnston's and Hon. Mr. Price's abandonment of Bour bon Democracy becomes known throughout the State great sensation will be produced. The lact will carry consternation to the very heart of Bour bonism, and fill with gladness all Re publicans and Independent Democrats. These distinguished gentlemen said al so to the Republican representative that they anticipate with the most perfect confidence the redemption of North Carolina from Bourbonism at the next election, and by a majority of not less than twenty thousand. In this opinion Maj. Badger, Col. Norment, and several other North Carolinians of prominence have expressed to the Republican rep resentative their entire concurrence. Truly, the leaven of the true, free, pa triotic, independent Democracy of Vir ginia is working grandly in North Carolina.
