1 HE GLEANER en — 1 ' ' (SRAHWM N. C. AUGUST 13 1879 E. 8. PARKER, Editor. POLITICAL, Tiiis is an off year in politics, and es pecially so with the pcopre of our State, and but for the ripple here and there as s nn aspirait f >rce« liin a If to the surface, the waters are unruffled. Not an election of any description, save municipal in the whole Stale, dot ing the year—something rare and unusual—save some elections on the stock law, and upon different appro* prinions. To be sure the papers arc, now ami then, saying something in bc» half of this or that man lor this or that next year, hut then it is rather ear* ly for speculations as Co who will be lead are ot the Democratic hosts next v«ar to be valuable. Then too, we have suruiia e»as to whose prospects tor success in the nixl Democratic National Convention are brightest, but that is also a long distance in the future, and prospects that are bright now, may grow dim before it assembles. There are however three States in which active campaigns aro progressing, and UHhese the political ius terest turns. It is true Kentucky has held a State election^but (])e result us looked to as a matter of course, and Maryland is to hold ope, where the result isalso not doubtful. But Maiue, Culilor nia and Ohio present the fields of inter est. In Maine an election ot Governor by the people is (here being three candidates in the field, and the hope of the Democracy is to throw the election into the Legislature, wliero-Ihoy bope to re-elect Garcelon, the present in» eumbeut, ami Democratic candidate. Maine is really a Republican State, but the party is so demoralized on the finan cial question as to no longer insure that State to the Republicans. We doubt bow.overlf (herd is any hope lrom that qciaftorin a national contest. In Califor nia there fs likewise great demoralization In the Republican ranks, some*of the tors most Republicans thcro are openly sup porting the Democratic ticket. Culifor* nia is ranked as one of the probable Dem ocratic States In 1830) and'therefore pos sesses interest. In Ohio, however, the larger share of public interest centres, not only because it is a larger State , but because the struggle is moro particularly between the two principal political par ties of the country. The canvass there fs open and eajfjr Hi Ottober will be the election. The two catididatesnire strong ineu, popular and able debaters, and be sides will have much help from their res*' ]w.tive party leaders irom other States. Both parties claim victory when the do oission at the polls is made. Jhe sup litters of each are already enthusiae4ic. l'rcc -ssio:>B, brass bauds, banners, trauss paranoics, with mottoes, together will all the other- helpsXo campaigus, and evi dences of lively interest, are in full use. Ewing leads the Democrats and Foster tlfo'ltapublicans. The issue ol the con test will have treat influence iu the na tional struggle, and especially in the se lection ol presidential candidates. After the Ohio election New York will be the attraction. Pennsylvania. Wisconsin, and other States hbld elections, but iu none of theso is a sharp, close struggle looked for, aud hence they will beoi slight inter' usi to outsiders, lit New- \)crk*lhcre is auything but hurmonv in the Democrat ic ranks. The Tildeu aud Tammauy war still rages, and whether it will be possible for the Democrats to carry the State with these two opposing elements inside of if, may well be regarded as doubtful. TKNNKHMBB DEBT, Tli') lAM Legislature of Tenuesso pass ved a bill to compromise and boulo the public debt ol me Stale, leaving ii 10 be i untied or rejected by (lie people. The election came oil last Thursday, and our luinat intoiiuatioii is tbo cfi'ecl ibat tbe proportion was .rejected. Tue latest, uispatch liom Nashville says: Additional returns indicate that the proposition to settle the debt at filly ceuts , ou the dollarwill be rejected by not Less than 10,000 majority. Parly lines vote not regarded iu the contest. The liqiublicaus iu the eaMern part of the Mate voted ahuost solidly iu iavor of the compromise,.while most of those iu the middle aud western sections \y«m uguiubt it. Tho Democrats were also teuerally divided ou the question. Mauy rneu ot i>oth parlies voted for rejec'iou on th« ground that the proposiiiou was merely a modified lorm ot repudiation. STATE Dm -The exchange of out- Btandtng Slate bonds goes on very fcatisfuctonly. Up to hut Saturday $4,000,000 of the old bond, bad beS retired, and sl. in ne« ho udß had been issued.

A Public Servant'* i'Mftmln, [Virgluiu City Chronicle] Now and then, at long intervals, seine one ol (lie people's servants lulls talcs about (ho way in which he und his icl lows shuffle through the public business. Mr. Thifrmau recently made un interes ting revelation. Wc quote from the Congressional record: Until the last session 1 do not rocolec', although it may bo u delect of nr.-mory at preseut, a case of the yeas and nuys being called on an appropriation bill. There may have been such uu instance, .but I cannot recollect it,lt made 6o li«- t!e impression on me. These bills usu ullypuss as u matter «>f course. 1 shall nev er forget (ho surprise with which 1 saw uu appropriation bill, making appropriations according to my recollection, of about $2,000,000, pass this body at (lie first session t hut 1 had a scat there. There were in this Senate at tho time tliut bill was passed just four Senators. There was the Senator from Maine (Mr. Pes* senden), the chairman of the committee on appropriations, who 6at, if I recollect aright, where" the Senator troin New York now sits. There was the Senator troin lowa (Mr. Harlan) chairman ol the committee on Indian ufiuirs. • It was (he Indian appropriation bill. 1- went over and sat by (lie side of Mr..

And so (hey two with their nods* and (heir shakes, slioon out of the treasury $2,000- 000. (Laughter) That is the way the appropriation bills too often pass, aud geiieraly pass.

SH> s a San Francisco correspondent olt . the Philadelphia Press: 1 A bitter political war is raging. The 'three parties are the New Constitution party wilh Hugh J. Glenn (or Governor, with an endorsement of the Democratic Stale Convention' Capt. George C. For* kins, of S:tn Francisco, l&epublk-au, and William F. White, of' San Diego, the can didate ot the workiugtnen, with Dennis Kearney ascliief*fugleman. All admit that the race is bntween Glenn and Perkins and bere in San Francisco Cupt. Perkins will probably lead. lie wilt, also run ahead in Alameda, SacrauietilO'and-a few other counties. And it is my belief that Dr. Glenn will beat Captain Pcrkinaoii that issue. Ex (Senator Cornelius C. Cole is canvassing lite Stale fir G4enu, and Saturday even ing last George C. Gorham, the late Ite* publican Secretary of the United* States Senate, came out in a speech unequivo cally in favor ot Glenn. Dr. Glsiin is a farmer of splendid means and to show how a candidate for Gorernor farms, we add the .following description ol harvest time on bis ess ate; « The harvest time on the Glenn ranche is spread over the whole summei and part of the fall. It begins in the middle ul'Juue and lasts until October. Alt through tbi? long poriod the headers are plunging fhrough the standing wlieat mid the threshers are thundering over all their league* of laud. The seeding begiiiß about the middle of September, lapping 011 to harvest, ar.d lasts till April. Lest there should be a month of idleness between seeding and harvest Providence has furnished a having season, which furnishes healthful iudustry tor the cupied period. Dr. Glenu has this year 46,000 acres iu wheat.'People ask why I raise all wheat," he says. The aiwwtr is simple. It is the only crop that will bear transportation; it is the only crop that is not perishable. 1 must* not raise on ouy land what ruins ine, but what is I rofltable. These 45,000 acres were ex pected to yield 1,000,000 busbek, but some damaging northers reduced the estimated araoaot below 900,000. This can be placed ou the river bauk, ready for transportation, lor übiety cents per bushel. This vast of grain requires vast appliances tor planting and bringing to a point i lie re His aece»sab)e to the con*. RUtner .During liar vest time there are •in* ployed some 600 men. This small army li officered as follows: Dr. Gleun is geu• eral-iu chiet of his lorces. The ranche is subdivided, for convenience ot operas lions, into nine smaller ranches each wilh dwelling bouse, barus, blacksmith's shops and other needed buildings. In charge of these are seven foremen, tlio lieutenants of Dr. GIOUD. Under Ibe foremen are E6 blacksmiths,"" li> canpen* ters, e.uiaciiiiiisls, 6 commissaries and numerous cooks and servants. TJie common workmen,. Hie rank and file of. ol the army, are divided into gangs, and detailed where they ara needed—to Jhe reapers, the llireshcM, the cleaners, etc. These men so officered, manage a for tune invested lij the cosiiliest kind of machinery. There are 130 gang-plows, 60 header*, to which belong 180 wagons, C cleaner*, 100 harrows,' 18 seeders, 6 threshers, 6 engines. Besides, there is a countless number ol smaller imple ments and many vehicles that cannot well be classified. (Jo-operating with their linmane brethren in the great labor are 1 000 work horses and mules, with a kindship ot 1,000 brood mares, and young stock thjU has not yet achieved ihe dignity of labor. —Ban Jrrancisco Chronicle. EDITOR OF THE GLEANER: On tlie 28ili ultimo a car filled with excursionists under the management of Mr. Thoinan Kowler of Meliauuvillf, lelfc that place about 5 o'clock for the mountains of Western North Carolina. Very soon alter passing Co. Slmps/the ladies who are always prepared for any emergency, brought out their baskvts, which w«re filled with nil "manner of frnjta" arid good edibles, anu having invited thoae who were without, and those WHO were so unfortunate as to have lost their snackx, to assist them, proceeded to do justice to what had been pippnred. They all 1 assure you, did justice co what was before them, except one yonrg inau, who, by Uie way, belongs to the legal profession, and I cannot say that he did, lor he ate no less than four suppers be tweeu Co. Shops uiid Salisbury. Sup per bt ing ovei, those who could bleep were soon in the laud of pleasant dreams, but as some were unable to sleep they were not permitted to enjoy their rest for any length of time. Arriving ut Salisbury, #e changed cars, and were s.»on hastening on our way towards the head of the Western JSorth Carolina Hail Road. Early next morning the platform of the cars were crowded with* those, anxious to have the firs'- sight of Ihp mountains, but as we were some distance from them, most of those on the" platform, either growing tired of strain in„' iheir eyes, or thinking it was mo notonous to stand np all the time, went back iuto the car. Soon we passed through a tunnel, then all were full ol mirth, foY they Xhey were near their journey's end, and UIRO that that they were in the mountains sure enough. Suddenly we frit a bump! bump! bump! of the car, and on looking out dis co vere'd that we were off the the track immediately on the bridge over Mill Creek. The front platform of our car gave way, and the fore wheels of the car having waltzed aroud under the car nn* til ihey pushed the fear wheels but, we no one .hurt except Mr. Alex. Thompson who was on the plat form; and lie was not seriously hurt. The only thing funny about it was, that one gentleman 'swinging on' to his water* melon during the whole time, and (hen I think, lost it. We ware only a short distance from Henry, and some walked up, while others rode up in the baggage car, aud on the engine.- We breakfasted at Henry, and then came "the ride," as some expressed it "to the moon," from Hemy to Swannanoa. To say it was grand is but a feeble expression for it. In some places you could fee the track many feet above, and also fai be low you at the same time. It is only three miles from to Swannanoa aud yet the train has to run over nine miles to get theto. At Swannanoa it was raining, aud in fact it was almost a con tinuous rain from that time until we ret urned. Some ol the party went over to Ashville in the stages, others to the Hotel at Swauu*noa,but tfcte greatei part returned to llenry, and as they had to remain iudoors most of the time, the young peopjtrauiused themselves dan cing, frolicking up and down the passa ges «fec., while the older heads looked on and enjoyed it. Two of our young men, ha xe almost d«terniined to buy a mountain and settle i.eir Henry. The largest tunnel, which is oue third of a i tuils long, is almost completed. There j was a slide in •'mud cut" during our stay j and trains could not pass for some time! , Passengers were compelled to walk over the slide, and "our professional man" was ve»y unfortunate indeed, having to bring back on his clothes a great part of "mud cut". We left Henry Thursday j evening at 8 o'clock and after riding all night arrived at homo broken down, but 1 well pleased with our trip. . Truly Yours ••Bob Graham. N. C. i Aug. 7tli 1870. KBNIUtKf KI.ECriONR, On the sth of this month, Kentucky elected a Governor, and other State offi cers; and a Legislature. The vote was light. Dr. Blackburn, Democratic can didate for Governor, was elected by from twenty to forty ..thousand mnjotity There in some falling off of the Demo i cratic majority in the Legislature. Two [ years ago it was oue hundred an 3 fours teen on joint ballot, and by" the recent election itls one hundred or npwards. The recomendation for a constitutions al convention was, after a fashion sup ported«by both parlies, but failed for ] want of the constitutional majority of the entire registered vole of the State.

AfikMlilai n«k»l Mai-- 4ered iu Ike I'roeace mf Ub Uriair, [Special Dispatch to- the Baltimore Sun.] NEWPORT, PEBUY COUNTY, PA., August 7 —About leu miles east of- this town Win. K. Miller, of UarrUburg, recently married Maria llamaker, of Mont* gomery's Ferry, was to-day killed by Sauiuel E. Albright, a rejected suit or of the wife. Miller reached Mont gomery 'a Ferry last night, and this morning while conversing with his wife, he was introduced to Albright, who after handing a letter to Mrs. Miller, expressing the intention of killing her and her husband, discharged a revolver twice, one of the balls taking effect in the heart and the othi r in tint, breast of Miller. The murderer then aimed at Mrs. Miller, but missed his mark, after which he took refuge in the mountains a few hundred yards from the scene of the murder. A sealed Istter .written by Albright was picked up, in which he threatened dire punishment to any oue pursuing him. Albright com mitted the crime iu a tic of jealousy. Miss Hamuker had captured his affection*, a tenv years ago, and learning that »he had married another he determined to murder the couple. The murderer escaped to Texas a few year ago after having engaged in a larceny which resulted in the sentence of au accomplice to the penitentirry. The murdered uiau was a highly esteemed resident ol Harrisbntg. The capture of Albright is hourly expected. - The Charlotte Observer records the horrible death ol a negro named William Aing, a citizen of Charlotte, and a car penter and laborer in the employ of Ihe the Atlanta & Chariot to Air Line llail road. lie was at work oil the houtli Fork nestle, twenty mile* from Chart*.ite, and with his carpenter tools in his hands he startod to wa'k across the trestle,stepping from sill to sill, and when at u point where he was seventy live feet above gi-oittid his loot slipped and he tell, mak ing a Vain clutch at the limbers of Ihe nestle, which ne caught with bne hand only, this only serving to turn his body, as be tell, striking Ihe limbers as he went iiilo the abyss below, where he was im mediately picked up by those who wit* uesscd ihe terrible accident, and died iu a few moments. CAN'T ACCOUNT —Wiliiam 11. Oliver, late Treasurer of the Atlantic & JNoiih Carolina Uailroad Company, is largely behind hand With the moneys of that Company. From an editorial in The Observer wo learn that his bocks were so kept and are in such shape as to he incapable of explanation. He appears to have been utterly wanting iu the necessary business qualification for the place. Mr. Oliver can only protest his innocence of appropriating any of the funds of the Company to his own use, while lie i« unable to explain anything The Observer regards his seeking and accepting a place for which lip was not qualified as his first and greatest error.
