THE GLEANER GRAHAM N.C. February 4 1879 E. S. PARKER, Editor. (lOVBRNOR* MANSION. A mesßnge from the Governor to the Legislature says that there has been real ized from property sold to build a mans sionYor the Governor,the sum of $17741- That would build a good house in these cheap,times if judiciously expended. But in public buildings there is generally a job for some lucky favorite. Marshall McMahon has resigned the ]'residency'of the Republic of France. His reason was his disagreement with the ministry, and hin unwillingness to assent to measures which he regarded ah opposed to the interest of his country. M. Grevy will be elected his successor, it is said almost unanimously. The CongreiiS it appears elects. No great ex* citement and uo revolution is apprehend, ed. SALARIED Altl> PBBB •F STATE OFFICERS, Under a resolution of the Senate,? the Superintendent of Public instruction re ported that he had not received a cent in the way of fees since his induction into office; the Attornov General reportod th« whole amount received $3360., and that he had paid out of bis own pocket for clerk hire $514.; the Auditor reported thikt he had received in salaries and fees for clerk hire and all $2872.30 ; the Treasurer reported that all the fees re ceived by him would not exceed S4O. and that he would pay any man SSO. to do the work he did for them. COL. WM. L. SAONDERS.— We very much regret the necessity of this gentle man's withdrawal from Tht Observer, which he, in company with P. M. Hale EdqiVfouudecl * " t(le more tll * u two yeariago. Continued ill health left no other coarse lor Col. Saunders, under the advice of his physician. Rheumatism has for years been persistent upon him, only relaxiug occasionally to encourage hope that it* speedy return crushed. The Col's, retirement is a loss to the State. The Obnrvtr is usquestiouably the widest circulated of auy politcal pa per in the State and the lose of one of the hands that iouuded, directed and shaped iu policy can but belelt throughout the entire State, He is a clever tnau, good writer, a man ot large information, aud sound judgement. He has our sympathy iu his affliction, TBI ainilAL ISSINBLY From our published proceedings it will be Been that the Legislature is at least industrious. No set of law makers that we have had has found more to do. Economy and retrenchment ia their chief aim, and iu this they show a degree of earnestness that is; commendable in all efforts. The danger ia that in the name of economy and retrenchment mush harm as well as much good may be done, and from this danger we do not regard our Lagisture as by any means exempt. The important measure of f reviaing and codiv bying the lawi ot the State died of econ omy and reform,'and other bills have bit the dust from the cauae. There ia auoh a thing as too much of a good thing even- Miserly stinginess is no more ad* inirable a quality than reckless extrava gance, and one ahould be avoided with as much care as the other. Take care gentlemen, that you do not bring the Democratic cry of economy, retrenchment and reform into ridicule. TUB liIVILIBST i*Ti Tho proposition before tho Legislature to amend the charter of the Raloigb & Augusta Air-Lino llallroad so as to ena ble it to extend its road to Charlotte,is pro ducing a lively discnision, especially in the Wilmington and Charlotte papers, and in tho cities of Wilmington and Ral eigh. Public meetings have been hold, resolutions adopted and lobby members appoiuted, iu Wilmington to defeat the bill and iu Raleigh to secure its passage. Geutleinon appointed lor the purpose have been before the committee on in ternal improvements advocating the cause ot tho people who seut them. There is more life in the bill than in all the oth ers before the Legislature. Mo State aid is asked- and we are in favor ot giving any and everybody the right to build a railroad,who shows inclination and abili ty to build it. Competition among rail roads can't hurt the people, aud a monop oly of transportation is oftcu used to their groat dainago. Give railroads through overy county we say, aud let price, speed aud care decide who gels the freights aud passeugorß. Wo would furnish charters ii other people will build and run the ftuUs. s „ * MGCIiIiTAUV OF NTATB Theie has been much suid about the salary ami fees of Jthis officer. It has been charged that his income from his an enormous sum, esti mated by somo as high as twelve or fourteen thousand do-lnrs. In obedience to a resolution of the Senate he lias re« ported the amount of liis fees tor each of the two years since his induction inio office, and they foot up as follows: For the year 1877, $3050.70, and for 1878 $j902.00. Ilia salary is SIOOO, a year and it will bo aeon that the total income' of his office was for 1877 $1059.70, and for 1878, $3902. It cannot be denied ihut this is quite a handnoine showing for the incumbent, but then it falls to far short ot the extravagant estimates as to really sound small. A reduction will likely meet his successor on the thres hold. , GOV. * ANt!;E>B hE*IC\ATI9IV, [From The Observer] BTATK OF NORTH CAROLINA, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Raleigh, Jan. 28, 1879. 7o the Honorable, the (General Assembly of North Carolina: Having received official information of my election as a Senator in the Congress of the United States from the State of North Carolina for the term commencing on the 4th March next, 1 hereby tender my resignation a« Governor of this State to take etrect on Wednesday the sth day of February, 1878. In thus surrendering into your hands the great trust which was placed in mine by the people ot North Carolina in 1876, in order to ac cept another to which their Representa*- tives have thought it proper to transfer me, I deem it not unbecoming to say that I find it impossible adequately to eipress the thanks of which my heart is so full, for this last and greatest expres sion of the confidence of my countrymen. To have inspired such a feeling fills me with grateful pride, and to deserve it shall constitute the sole aim of the re-> maining years of my existence, and to which all that I and am shall be sacredly^dedicated. With earnest wishes for the health and happiness ot each individual member of your honorable body, and with ter« vent prayers for the prosperity and hon or of our native land, I am, gentlemen, Most respectfully and ( truly, Your friend and fellow-citizen, ZEBULON.BAIRD VANCE, rttll'lCAl,, „ The Legislature of Arkansas hoa elect ed J. D. Walker United States Senator by a vote ef 68 to 47 for Robt. W. John son, his competitor. Mr. Walker is a lawyer, forty fire years old, and has been Circuit Judge and of his State. The lower house of Congross has passed « bill restricting aa the immigrationo f Chinese into thia country. Among the pension bills passed the United t State Senate waa one increasing the pension of Dr. Mary £. Walker to twenty dollars a month. Senator Christiancy has been confirm ed as Mimstor to Peru. Heary Page, of Arkansas has been confirmed aa Indian Agent. The arrests of political offenders in Louisiana by (J. S. Marshals are being made on a large scale. The general charge is violation of election laws. Messrs. Voorhees, Wallace and Jones of the Bonate committee will make a minority the reduction of tax on tobacco to 16cts. The majorU ty report will be for 20 cts. The bill i> encumbered with a tariff reduction on licorice and will if passed by the Senata meet opposition in the House to this licorice amendment hitched on by the Senate, and so we yery much doubt if there will be any reduction after all. The continued agitation has wrought much damage to mauufacturers and con sequently to growers. An inteligent Massachuetts Democrat thinks Tilden's chances for the tion for President in 1880 are really good. WASHINGTON LITTIR, WASHINGTON D. C.) Jan. 28. 1879. $ Complaint is made, and with apparent justice, (hat neither House is now en deavoring to push legislation as iu the earJy days ol tho session. Still, there wiil" not probably be need of an extra sessiou. If tho Democratic House shall aceept every extravagnnt amendment to tho approptiatiou bills which may be suggested by the Senate, thcro will cor. iaiuly be no need ot such a session. This they did in tho West Point aud Diplo matic bi'ls, and are doiug iu the Post Office bill. The result of acquiescence on the part ot the House, if uot checked will be to force the next Congress—tho first Democratic in both Branches for' 25 years—to impose further burdens ou the people. It will bo the first Democratic Congress which will bo compelled to put taxes on tea aud coflee, impose nuy ins come tax, ana do other unpalatable things. The ouly way to preveut this was aud Is to sustain tho House Commit too in the ample 6iiuis it deems proper for each Department to receive, or, os might ollen properly be done, vote eveu less sums. The cipli n r telegrams investigation yesterday oi>eited with a possible catch vi distinguished radicals, it was shuwn by officers of W. U. Telegraph Co. Hint in 1876 P. M. Genl. Tyner telegraphe.l Iq See'v. of the Interior, Indiana, to appoint two Indian Agents, and that $5,000 would be given by the appointees, the money to be used in (he Indiana campaign,, and that Chandler telegraphed his compliance. It may be that this is correct, but I doubt it. The telegrams were not in cipher. The pro position was too "i-oss to be made open* 1\ or openly accepted.* Tvncr's explanat ion is that the telegrams were in a cipher previously agreed on. and thtt 1 lie ap pointment of t wo "Indian Agents" mean! Chandler, who was also (?P . %an of the Republican General K, "'fttteo, would furnish $5,000 lor the hwTißna Republicans. Whatever the true inwardness of these despatches may be, the Committee made one important discovery 1 vesterdav. 1 which was that Hayes has rewarded with office the man who stole lrom the Senate Committee room the alleged Democratic cipher telegrams. This is an important but not surprising discovery, as Hayes had tried to reform all branches of Ihe civil hervice, from the Supreme Court downwards, by the appointment of men who intrigued, stole, forged or commit* ted perjury in the attempt to make him [•resident."

THE GENUINE DR. C. McLANE'S Celebrated American WORM SPECIFIC OR VERMIFUGE. SYMPTOMS OF WORMS. rpELE countenance is pale and leaden. J- colored, with occasional flushes or a circumscribed spot on one or both cheeks; the eyes become dull; the pu. pils dilate; an azure semicircle runs along the lower eye-lid; the nose is ir. ritated, swells, and sometimes bleeds a swelling of the upper lip; occasional headache, with humming or throbbine of the ears; an unusual secretion of saliva; slimy or furred tongue; breath very foul, particularly in the morning appetite variable, sometimes voraciotu' with a gnawing sensation of the stora' * ach, at others, entirely gone; fleeting pains in the stomach; occasional nausea and vomiting; violent pains throughout the abdomen; bowels ir regular, at times costive; stools slimy not unfrequently tinged with blood belly swollen and hard; urine turbid respiration occasionally difficult, and accompanied by hiccough; cough sometimes dry and convulsive; uneasy and disturbed sleep, with grinding of the teeth; temper variable, but gener ally irritable, &c. Whenever the above symptoms are found to exist, DR. C. McLANE'S VERMIFUGE will certainly effect a cure. IT DOES NOT CONTAIN MERCURY in any form; it is an innocent prepara tion, not capable of doing the slightest injury to the most tender infant. The genuine DR. MCLANE'S VER MIFUGE bears the signatures of C. Mc- LANE and FLEMING BROS, on the wrapper. :o: DR. C. McLANE'S LIVER PILLS are not recommended as a remedy "for all the ills that flesh is heir to," but in affections of the liver, and in all Bilious Complaints, Dyspepsia and Sick Headache, or diseases of that character, they stand without a rival. AGUE AND FEVER. No better cathartic can be used preparatory to, or after taking Quinine, As a simple purgative they are unequaled. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated. Each box has a red wax seal on the lid with the impression DR. MCLANE'S LIVER PILLS. Each wrapper bears the signatures of C, MCLANE and FLEMING BROS. Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C. MC LANE'S LIVER PILI.S. prepared by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being full of imitations of the name McLane, spelled differently but same pronunciation. THIS st andard article is compound ed with the greatest care. Its effects are as wonderful and as satisfactory as ever. It restores gray or faded liair to its youthful coloi. It removes all eruptions, itching and dandruff. It gives the head a cooling, soothing sensation of great comfort, and the scalp by ita use becomes white and clean. By its tonic properties it restores the capillary glands to their normal vigor, preventing baldhee:., and mak ing the hair grow thick and strong, f As a dressing, nothing has been found so effectual or desirable.
