THE GLEANER GRAHAM N.C. February 4 1879 n m I'.'fl' .. "i ■ * 1 » = E. S. PARKER, Editor. > «ovssa«iH Kji9Maitr. A message from the Governor to the Logislatnrn says that therejjaff"bcen real ized from property soWto build a mam sionjl'or the'ioveruor,the sum of $17741- 525. That would build a good house in cheap,times if judiciously expended. But in public buildings there is generally a job for some lucky farorite. Marshall McMahon has resigned the Presidency of the Republic of Franc* 1 . His reason was his disagreement with the miuistry, and bin unwillingness to assent to measures which he regarded a* opposed to the interest of his country. M. Grevy will be elected his successor, it is said almost unanimously. The Congress it appears electa. No great ex* citement and no revolution is apprehend, ed. ~ •WKvn, " Under a resolution of the Senate, J the Superintendent of Publle instruction re ported that he had not received a cent in the way of lee* since his induction into office; the Attorney General reported th« whole amount received $3360., and that he bad paid out of hi* own pocket for clerk hire $514.; the Auditor reported thit he baJ received in salaries and foes for clerk hire and all $2872.30;' tbe Treasurer reported that all tbe fees re ceived by him would not exceed S4O. and'that he would pay any man SSO. to do tbe work he did for them. COL. WK. L. SAUNDERS.— We yery much regret the necessity of this gentle man's withdrawal from Tks Observer, which he, in company with P. M. Hale Esqr., founded a little more than two years ago. Continued ill health left no other course tor Col. Saunders, under the advice of bis physician. Rheumatism has for years been persistent upon him, only relaxiug occasionally to encourage the hope that its speedy return crashed. The Col's, retirement is a loss to the State. The Observer is nsquestionably the widest circulated of any politcal pa per in the State and the loss of one of the hands that founded, directed and shaped its policy can but be ielt throughout the entire State, He is a clever man, good writer, a man ot large information, aud sound judgemeut. He has our sympathy in his afliction. TU OIRIBAL IWIIUI From oar published prooefdings it will be seen that the Legislature is at least industrious. No set of law makers that we have had has found more to do. Economy and retrenchment is their chief aim, and in this they show a degree of earnestness that is; commendable in all efforts. The danger is that in the name of economy and retrenchment muob harm as well as much good may be done, and from this danger we do not regard our Legisture as by any means exempt. The important measure of,revising and codis bving the law§ ot the State died of econ« omy and reform, and other bills have bit the dust from the cause. There is such j a thing as too much of a good thing i even. Miserly stinginess is no more ad mirable a quality than reckless extrava gance, and one should be avoided with as much care as the other. Tak* care gentlemen, that you do not bring the Democratic cry of eoonomy, retrenchment and reform into ridicule* TUB IiIVKLIBST **T. The proposition before the Legislature to amend the obarter of the Raleigb A Augusta Air-Line Railroad so as to ena ble it to exteud it* road to Charlotte,is pro ducing a livelr discussion, especially in the Wilmington and Charlotte papers, and in the cities of Wilmington and Ral eigh. Public meetings have been liold. resolutions adopted and lobby members appointed, iu Wilmington to defeat the bill and iu Raleigh to secure its passage. Gentlemen appointed lor the purpose have been before the committee ou in torual improvements advocating the cause oi the people who seut them. There fc more life in the bill thau in all the oth ers before the Legislature. No State aid }• asked- and wo are in favor ot giving any and everybody the right to build a xailroad, whoeliows inclination aqd abili ty to build it. Competition nmong rail roads can't hart the people, and a monop oly of transportation is often used to their Hgreat damage. Give railroads throngh ever) county we aay, and let price, speed nud care decide who gets the freights and passengers. We would furnish charters it other people will iHiild and run the ruiiiiß* ■ - -* '• *"—*■ - vn ■BCKBTARY OP MTATB Theie bus bcon much said about the salary anl fees of Jthis officer. It lias been charged that bis income from bis office'resched, an enormous sum, esti mated by some as liigb as twelve or fourteen thousand dollars. 'ln obedience to a Q r he >fs. re ported the amount of his fees tor each of tbe two years since bis induction into office, and they foot up as follows: For the year 1877, $3059.70, and for 1878 1J902.00. His salary is SIOOO, a year and it will bo aeon that the total incotnr of his office was for 1877 $4059.70, and for 187$ $3902. It cannot he denied that this is quite a baudaome showing for the incumbent, but then it falls eo far short ot the extravagant estimate* us to really sound small. A reduction will likely oicet his successor ou the thres hold. GOV. VANCE'S HBSIGNATIM, [From The Observer] BTATK OFNOItTU CAROLINA, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, ltaleigli, Jan. 28, 1879. To 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 at Governor of this State to take effect on Wednesday the Oth day of February, 1878- In thus surrendering into your hands the great trust which was placed in mine by the people of 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 express the thanks of whicb 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 I shall constitute the sole aim of the re-, maining years of my existence, and to which all that I and am shall be sacredly , With earnest wishes for the health and happiness of each individual member of your honorable body, and with ier veut prayers for the prosperity and hon or of our native land, I am, gentlemen, Most respectfully andlruly, Your friend and fellow-citizen, ZEBULON BAIRD VANCE. PatITICAI., The Legislature of has elect ed J. D. Walker United States Senator by a vote ef 68 to 17 for Robt. W. John son, his competitor. Mr. Walker is a lawyer, forty live years old, and has been Circuit Judge and of his State. The lower house of Congress has passed « bill restrictingi a the iinmigrationo f Chinese into thia country. Among the pension bills passed the Senate waa one inoreasing the pension of Dr. Mary E. Walker to twenty dollars a month. Senator Christiancy bag been confirm ed as Minister to_Peru. Henry Page, of Arkansas has been confirmed as Indian Agent. The arrests of political offenders in Louisiana by U. S. Marshals are being made on a large scale. The general charge is violation of election laws. Messrs. Voorbees, Wallace and Jones of the Senate committee will make a minority report fayotiog the reduction of tax on tobacco to 16cts. The majori ty report will be for 30 cts. The bill | is encumbered with a tariff reduction on licorice and will if passed by the Senate meet opposition in the House to this licorice amendment hitched on by the Senate, and so we very much doubt if 1 there will be any reduction after all. The continued agitation has wrought much damage to manufacturers and con sequently to growers. An inteligent Massacbuetts Democrat thinks Tilden's chances for the nomina tion for President in 1880 are really good. irjiaaiiiraTM MTTCB, WASHINGTON D. C.) „ Jan. 28. 1879. $ Complaint is made, and with apparent justice, chat neither House is now en deavoring to push legislation as iu Uio early days ot the sesslou. Still, there will not probably be need of an extra session. If the Democratic House shall accept every extravagant amendment to the appropiiation bills which may be suggested by the Senate, there will cer. iainly be no need ot such a sossion. This 4 hey did in the West Point and Diplo matic bi'ls, and are doing iu the Post Office bill. The result of acquiescence on (he part ot the House, if not checked will be to force the uext Congress—the first Democratic in both branches for 25 years—to impose further burdens on the people. It will be the first Democratic Congress which will be compelled to put taxes on tea and coffee, impose uiiy ins come 'tax, and do otljer unpalatable things. The only way to preveut this was and is to sustain the House Commit tee in the ample sums it deems proper for each Department to receive, or, as might olteu properly be dono, yote even less sums. The cipher telegrams investigation yesterday opened with a possible catch ui distinguished radicals. It wasehowu *. . ; " r ~ . V". r " by officers of W. U. Telegraph Co. Mint in 1876 P. M. Oenl. Tyner telegraphed to Sec'v. of the interior, Chandler, from Indiana, to appoint two Indian Agents, and Hint $5,000 would oe given by the appointees, the money to be used in flic Indiana campaign, and that Chandler telegraphed liis compliance. It may be that this is correct, but I doubt it. The telegrams were iiot in cipher. The pro to.!?e :jHMIe- «r-P«v U or openly accepted. Tviirr's cxplnnao (ion is that the telcgrums were in a cipher previously agreed on. and ill it (ho ap» pointinent of two "Indian Agents" meant that Bec')\ Chandler, who was also Chairman of the Republican Genera' Committee, wopld tarnish $5,000 lor the Indiana Republicans, Whatever tho true'inwardness of these despair,lies may be, the Committee made one important discovery yesterday, which was thai Mayes has rewarded wiih office the man who stole from 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 ot Ihe civil service, front the Supreme Court downwards, by lite appointment of men who intrigued, stole, forged or commit* ted perjnry in the attempt to makn him Presklcut. * * * * * * TUB liECISIiATt'RB.

THE countenance is pale and leaden* 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 j a swelling of the upper lip; occasional headache, with humming or throbbing of the ears; an unusual secretion of saliva; slimy or furred tongue; breath very foul, particularly in the morning; appetite variable, sometimes voracious, with a gnawing sensation of the stom 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.
