Lamented Statesman and Immortal Patriot. In the U. S. Senate last Satur dav the Vance eulogies, which wprfl delivered bv a number of the c'der Senators and rartici pated in by a crowded cnamber and thronged galleries, were opened by Senator Ransom, the dead Senator's confrere from this State. After havinir sent a formal resolution forward to the Presi dent, of the Senate's desk where it was read Senator Ransom spoke to the resolution in elo fiuent and crlowinsr review of Senator Vance's life and record We greatly regret that lim ited space prevents our publish ing his remarks in full, from which we have selected the fol lowing extracts: TTis heart everv moment was in North Carolina His devotion to the State and oeonle was unbounded, his solicitude for her welfare, his deep anxiet v in all that concerned her, and.his ever readiness to make every sacrifice in hnr huhalf was dailv manifested in all his words "and actions. Senator Vance was an uncommon orator. He snoke with g-reat power. His style was brief, clear, and strong. His state ments were accurate and definite. His arguments compact and forcible, his illustrations unsurpassed in their fit ness, his wit and humor were the ever waiting and ready hand-maids to his reasoning, and always subordinated to the higher purpose of his speech. They were tortch-bearers, ever bringing fresh light. He always instructed, al ways interested, always entertained, and never wearied or fatigued an audi ence, and knew when to conclude. The Senate always heard him with pleas ure, and the' galleries hung upon his lips, and with bended bodies and out stretched necks would catch in every word as it fell. He did not skirmish, he marched into the battle, charged the center of the lines, and never failed to draw the blood of the enemy. Sometimes be was supreme in manner, in words, in thought, in pathos. He possessed the thunderbolts, but, like Jove, he never trifled with them, he only invoked them when gigantie perils confronted his cause. In 1876, upon his third nom ination for governor, speaking to an immense audience in the State house Square, at Raleigh, he held up both hands in the light of -the sun and -with solemn invocation to Almighty God decla-ed that they were white and stainless, that not one cent of corrupt money had ever touched their palms. The effect was electric; the statement was conviction and conclusion. The argument was unanswerable. It was a f reat nature's action. It was eloquence ! t was truth. Senator Vance's integrity and up rightness in public and in private life were absolute, they were unimpeached and unimpeachable he was honest it is the priceless inheritance which he leaves to his family, his friends, his country. He was an honest man, Ca lumny fell harmless at his feet, the light dissipated every cloud and he lived continually in its broad rays, his breastplate, his shield, his armor was the light, the truth. There was no darkness, no mystery, no shadow upon his bright standard. Senators will all remember the loss of his eye In the winter of 1889. How touching it was a i sacrifice, an offering on thea altar of his coun try. For no victim was veri more tiehtly bound to the stake than he was to his duty here. How bravely, how patiently, how cheerfully, how man fully he bore the dreadful loss! But the light, the glorious light of a warm heart, a noble nature, a good conscience was never obscured to mm. it was to him a great bereavement, but it was another, a more sacred tie that again and again bound his countrymen to him. In his long and tedious illness, no complaint, no murmurs escaped his calm and cheerful lips. He was com posed, firm, brave, constant hopeful to the last. His love of country was una bated, his friendships unchanged, his relation to duty unrelaxed. His philosophy i was serene, his brow was cloudless, his spirit, his great mind, all were superior to his suffer ings. His great soul illuminated the phy sical wreck and ruin around it and shone out with clearer lustre amid dis ease and decay. Truly, he was a most wonderful man. His last thoughts, his dying words, his expiring prayers, were for his country, for liberty and the people. A great patriot, a noble citi zen, a good man, it is impossible not to remember, to admire, to love him. Nor was this unsurpassed devotion unreasonable or without just foundation For more than the third of a century, for upwards of thirty years, in peace and in war, in prosperity and in adver- ity. in joy and in sorrow, ne had stood ey them like a brother a defender, a preserver, a deliverer. He was their martyr, and had suffered for their acts. He was their shield and had protected them from evil and from peril. He had been with them he had been with them and their sons and brothers on the march by the camp fires, in tae burning1 light of battle; beside the wounded and the dying; in their dark est hours, amid hunger and cold, and famine and pestilence, his watchful care had brought them comfort and shelter and protection. They "remem bered the gray jackets, the warm blankets, the good shoes, the timely food, the blessed medicines, which his sympathy and provision had brought them. In defeat, amid tumult, amid ruin, humiliation, and the loss of all they had, he had been their adviser, he had a-uided them through the wilder ness of their woes and brought them safely back to their rights and all their hopes. ' The light from their Bchool houses spoke of his services to their education. The very sight of their graves brought back to their heart his tender devo tion to their sons. And the papers and the wires with the rising of almost ev ery sun boi e to their bosoms the news of his success, his triumphs and his donors. They were proud of him; they admired him they loved him. These, these were the foundations, the solid foundations of his place in their minds and in their hearts. From tt.e wma- beaten and storm-bleached Capes of Hatteras to the dark blue mountain tops that divide North Carolina and Tennessee mere is not a spot xrom which the name of Vance is not echoed with honor and love. But his influence and his fame were not confined within State lines. In many respects he was very remark able. In one he was singularly so, ie never anected superiority to numan frailty. He claimed no immunity from our imperfection. He realized that all of us were subject to the same condi tions, and he regarded and practiced humility as cardinal virtue and duty. Senator Vance was nappy in nis mar ried life. In his early manhood he was married to Miss Harriet Newell fcspey, of North Carolina. ihe was a woman of high intellectual endowments, of un common moral lorce, or exemplary Dietv. and exercised a great influence tor trood over her devoted husband which lasted duiing her life. Their union was blessed wuh four sons, who survived their patents. His second wife was M rs. Florence Steele M artin, of Kentucky, a lady of brilliant intel lect, of rare grace and refinement, who adorned his life and shed lustre and joy on his home. AU during tne iatai maiady inaiena ed his T.fe. with sleepless affection, with tireless tenderness, with holy duty, she was by him until the last b'eatn came, and he expired in her arms, in tne sol ace of her love. He loved the Bible as he loved no other book. All of his reverence was for his God. He lived a patriot and a philanthropist and he died a Christian. J. his is the eum oi uuty and noner. He has eone. His massive and ma jestic form, his full, flowing white locks, his playful, twinkling eye, his calm homelike face, his indesci ibable voice have left us forever. He still lives in our hearts. The great Mira beau in his dying moments asked lor music and for flowers, and for perfumes to cheer and brighten his mortal eclipse. Vance died blessed with the fra grance of sweetest affections, conse crated by the holiest love, embalmed in the tears and sorrows of a noble peo ple. The last sounds that struck his ear were their applauses and gratitude and his eyes closed with the light of Christian promise beaming upon his soul. On the night of the 16th of April last we took his casket from these walls We bore it across the Potomac through the bosom of Virginia, close by the grave of Washington, almost in sight of the tombs of Jefferson and Madison, over the .lames, over the North and the South Roanoke, over the unknown border line of the sister States to the sad heart of his mother Stale. The night was beautiful. The white stars shed their hallowed radi ance upon earth and sky. The serenity was lovely. The whole heavens al most seemed a happy reunion of the constellations. With the first light of dav the people, singly, in groups, in companies, in crowds, in multitudes met us everywhere along the wav botb sexes all ages all races all classes and conditions, iheir sorrow was like the gathering clouds in morn insr, ready to drop every moment in showers. We can ied him to the State House in Raleigh, the scene of his greatest trials and grandest triumphs; the hear of the State melted over her dead son Her brightest jewel had been taken away : w e leu Kaieign in tne evening, and passing over the Neuse, over the Yadkin, over the uatawoa, up to the summit of the Blut Kidge, we placed the urn with its uoble dust on the brow of his own mountain, the monntain he loved so well. There he sleeps in peace and honor. On that exalted spot the wihow and cypress, emblems of sorrow and mourning, can not grow, but the bay and the laurel, the trees of fame. will there flourish and bloom in per petual beauty and glory. There will his great spirit, like an eternal senti- nel of liberty and truth, keep watch over his people. Senators, I feel how unable I have been to perform this sacred duty would have been one ef the supreme joys of my life to have done justice to the lift and character of this great and good man, to have enshrined his mem ory in eloquence like his own. But whatever may have been the faults these words, I have spoken from heart full of sorrow for his death and throbbing with admiration and pride for his virtues. THE LEADER OF THE "REFORMERS.' r Raleigh News & Observer. When the Fusionists wanted to suspend the rules in order to re peal the law letting the public printing to the lowest bidder, it became necessary to have a pre siding officer who would ignore established parliamentary laws and run rough shod over the minority.1 Mr. W alser found it convenient to be absent. The instrument for the un- awful and revolutionary pro ceeding was found in the person of Gizzard Z. French, of Pender county, who illegally represents New Hanover in the House. He made a good Tom Reed, and did the Revolutionary act without flinching. To ignore parliamentary law and crush the minority and in crease expenditures was a con genial task for Mr. French. As i member of the infamous L slature of 1868-9 he was one of the number that robbed the tax payers, and put part or tne goods in his own purse so says the Fraud Commission. Now he is the leader of the "Reform movement" in North Carolina. Our people have short memories. In view of his outbreak and bitter denial in the House yes terday, it is perhaps well to show the legislative nistory of this man who is now the recognized eader of the Fusionists in the ouse. wnen tne nonest men mong them know the facts, they will repudiate his leader ship. Let us see how far the sworn testimony bears out his denial. v Mr. French was a member of the Legislature of 1868-9, and Mr. Swepson testified before the Fraud Commission, saying. ".s to charges against G. Z. French of $."(. 0, Feb. 17th, 186!), I think that was paid in money. As to the two drafts, June 17th, 1869, one French and Estes. the other Estes and French each lor $10,456.87, they were drafts iis counted in New York which I endorsed and had to pay. These drafts were handed to Gen. Lattlelield, and charged up to him by his direction. As to the two items of March 6th and 15th, each of $5,000. and of June 15th, of $3,000. they were drafts, I think, endorsed by French and Abbott and discounted in some of the banks, which I thinK I had endorsed. They were pivid bv me and charged to Gen. Littlefield, by his di rection. As to the charge of $2,000 against Foster, April 25, 1869: Mr. Foster, the member of the Legislature from Bla den, came in to see me with G. Z. French, and he had a note or draft of Littlefield's payable to T.Foster, which I paid by request of Littlefield. r' This is the same G. Z. French, who is leading the "Reformers" in the House, who has the gall to preach honesty to Democrats! In his evidence before the same Fraud Commission, Gen. T. L. Clingman says : ueweeze said there had been a ring or combination at Raleigh to influence legislation for the railroads. He said Abbot, Estes, and French were all in the ring. Mr. G. Rosenthal, who was Swepson's book-keeper testifies: The item of $500 to G.Z.French. Feb ruary 9th, 18tU, was, I think, money handed to him. I know nothing of ch irges June 17th. 1869, amounting to $2 ,914,h4 against Estes and French. N or do I know anything of the charges of March 6th, and June 14th, 1869. amounting to $13,000 except that I made the charges as in the other cases. to me. He took up both drafts. have had a running account with General Littlefield for the past three years and a half, on account speculation in old N. C. bonds in New York. Q. Do you know anything of the item (in the account of G. W. Swepson) $25,000 paid to F. W. Foster, the member from Bladen? A. I know that Foster had Littlefield's note for 825,000, or thereabout, which L endorsed or guaranteed for a consideration. Q. Did you get any part of the 25,000 paid to Foster? A. Only what I was to re ceive as a consideration lor the endorsement. Q. Please state how much that was? A. I received 8", 000, as near as l can recollect. But this is enough to show that G. Z. French was in the 1868-'G9 ring. What do the people of North Uaroiina wno want reform more than office, think of having this man lead the "Reform" forces in the General Assembly?

Parties de siring one of those handsome mementoes can leave their names with Mr. Henry Lee or Capt. T. H. Bain. Mr. Rosenthal's recollection agrees with Swepson's, that French brought Foster to Mr, Swepson who was paid $25,00 I remember, he says, "that Mr. Swepson handed me a paper, either draft or note, the endorse ment being in what I took to be the handwriting of G. Z. French, "What does Mr. French, in his sworn testimony say? See page 395-399 inclusive of the report of the Fraud Commission: Q. Did you not vote for the appropriation to all these rail road bills which passed the Leg islature at that session t A. I think I voted for all of them. Q. Did you not receive from G. W. Swepson on the 11th of February, 1869, or thereabout, 500 m cash, or its equivalent; June 17th, 1869, the sum of $10,- 4o6.87, and the same date a like sum of $10,456,87? If so. state how this money was paid and the consideration therefor. And will you also state any other sums that you received from Swepson or Lattleneldr A. I borrowed on or about the 17th of February, $600 from Swepson, for which I gave my note or due bill. The same day he negotiated for me in New xorK a loan oi $iu,4oo.o on a draft signed by me and accepted by L. G. Estes, and endorsed by himself, and drawn at four months, which was discounted at one per cent, per month. A arart ror nice amount running same time and same date, was drawn by L. G. Estes, accepted by me and endorsed by Swepson, was negotiated in like manner, and on the same rate of interest. Before these drafts matured, wrote Mr.. Swepson, asking his assistance to renew them, bein unable at that time to pay them fl made new drafts to cover them, with discount at same rate, and gave them to General Estes, who was to see Mr. Swepson. . Gen eral Estes informed me that Swepson said to him, "Never mind about renewing, let the same paper lie, and pay them in the fall." On the 30th of July following the maturity of this paper, a suit in bankruptcy was instituted against me by New York creditors, preventing my own action in the premises, but have been informed by General Littlefield, that he had taken up this paper, and charged my share Principal new bills introduced in Legislature to-day were: To provide reformatory for youthful criminals. To raise joint select committee of retrenchment and reform .in public institutions. To provide for labelling and marking convict made goods. To provide for study of Vocal music in public schools. To provide penalties for all adulterations of food. To make -sheriffs and other county officers ineligible for more than two terms in succession. To enforce just and equal pay ment of debts of insolvents. To protect and promote the shellfish industry. To provide for support of pub lic schools by direct appropria tion of $150,000 from State Treas ury. This bill is by a colored Republican. Resolution was adopted in structing iudiciary committee of the House to draft a bill greatly increasing jurisdiction of magis trates so as to cover petty lar ceny, abandonment, and fornica tion and adultery. There was considerable debate on the bill in the Senate to re store six per cen as the legal rate of interest. This bill was drawn bv committee. Most of the discussion was on the penalty clause of the bill. Latter was finally made special order for next Wednesday, IS early all the members favor it. Bill was introduced to supply shoes to inmates of State chari table institutions. Papers were filed in the House m the contested election cases oi Person against Tomlinson and Newsom against Winborne.
