THE GLEANER tiRAHAM N. C., MA\ -12 1880 ' E. 8, PARKER, Editor. Gov. Vance mtde a speech in the Senate last wc k on the Spofford Kellogg c*w. The Washington correspondents any lie mode some grod hits, but that tiff) speech was not up to the standard . of dignity in senatorial speeches. (laves wishes to appoint some Southern taan to fill Keyl place as Postmaster* General, which,will be vacated 1 soon by hia going upouHhe bench. There are just thouoauds who will enter into the little contract by accepting the place, if tender ed. If Haves is in earnest let him name ids innn.

In the Senate the lime is divided between speeches ou ilie S|K>flord- Kellogg contest and, the consideration ot the appropriation bills, iu the II*»uso the consideration of tho tarifl, together with the routine business occupies the.lime. It is said that the bosiness of the session oan be finished by the first ol June—that is all that is at all likely to be done. Of eonrse all the bills introduced will not be acted upon—that would lake about a dozen years. Tbe latest we have seen concerning; the second place on (lie ticket with Graut la that it is to be filled by a negro; aud •Bruce. now a United States Senator from Mississippi, is sakl to be the coining man. The way It is to be done is this: The ne gro delegates to Chicago are to demand that the candidate lor Vice-President be a negro, as a condition of their supports ing the nomination of Grant. The Graut ineb cauuot dispense with their votes, aud so they will be able to dictate terms. That is what we see in the papers. Grant has said thai whenever be Is there tbe negroes can come, aud of course be will uot object. It may be started by some smart negro who wauU to be bought ofl, or it may be aa earnest move. UVILT TlflM IN K^NTtiVKY, His known that llou. Henry Walter* son. editoi of tbe Louisville Courier Journal, is and has been, at all times * aud vehemently, tbe friend of Tilden, - and tbe continued advocate ot his noml* nation by the Democratic National Con yention. All Keutucky Democrats are uotot bis way ot thinking on tfaH partic ular subject. Tbe Pott, a new daily Louisville paper, charges that Wattersou "'-promised J edge Martlndale, otVJtydiau upolls, to support Grant, ifTildeu Is not - nominated. Tberp la we take it a' lively Newspaper war, aud it may result in keeping with (he reputation of tbe dark aud bloody ground. The past wObk Was ono of Stale cons ventious. The Democrats held in two New Hampshire aud "Ohio, and the Republicans In seven States, WJs ' cousin. Mississippi, New • Hampshire, New Jersey, Delawaro and Maryland. Tharmab gots the delegates from Ohio, solid, end lu New Hampshire six of the delegates are autl-Tlldeu, but who they are lor Is not staled. Tbe week's work, so far as eoucerns tho Re publicans, seems to have been favorable to lilalne. The seven States boldiug the Republican conventions elected 110 del egates to Chicago, and of these }t is claimed that 60 are tor Blaine, 32 ter Grant, 9 for Sbennan, aud 9 for Washs burn. In Tennessee a resolution to lu . struct delegates for Graut was tabled. The Mississippi delegation Is mixed* In truth the whole thing is vory much mix ed. Blaine's fHeuds are reported iu high spltyb) while tbe Graut men claim tbey are ahead, aud tbe Sherman men say he wiH distaueo them all on the home stretch. It appears jett uow that doubts as to Grant's nomination at Chicago are gath~ eriog thick aud fast, though the uows of the next tew days may dispel tbein all; ao contradicting aud unocrtaiu has news . eouueeted with Presidential probabilities become. It is now said that tbe Penu ay I vauia delegation cannot be held to # geilter for Grant—that in truth a number ut'tlie delegates have made aud signed lipf aitreeuieut lu wridug, pledging tbem . selves not to abide tbo unit rulo adopted y uj by tbe Stete convention, aud uot to vole li«r Graut, oven on tbe first ballot. In view of this it is seid that Don Camerou lust now a second choice lor the Chicago uuiuiuation, to wit, Blalue. The same 1 H * state of insubordination is also said to exist In cite New York deiegitioa. It does appear that the autlGrant Retrablieaus aie kicking. These reports may come Irotn friends of Blalue and Sherman, or (• tbuy may be true.

He says some handsome things of the Gcul., which are true, but be does uot, after tbe tushion of newspa per correspondents, make him the great est aud most wonderful man ot tho age. That Geul. Scales would be stronger iu this seutiou than any tuafi named for the j>lace, yrv have no doubt, but his fricuds -ik ■ ijs-hxL "'-u Holt, Erwin & Holt want everybody to come and examine their large Stock of Goods at Company, Shop; . i •* ** ore perhaps a little aelfhh, in that tlioy dislike to givo liiui up as their Represen tative in Congress, If, however, the par ty of the whole S'atc claim iiiin, why, we have plenty of good men to take hi* place in Congress; lacking hit experience it is tme, and. hence, could not hope to be so nsoftvl, for a long time at least. General Scale* and some one rf the many ablo and popular men of Eastern Caroli na for Lieut. Governor, would make as strong a team as could be hitched in tho Stale—just a little stronger in our opinion than any mentioned. However, tho Gen*, eral is not aspiring to th* nomination, neither are hi* friends pushing htm for it. He is not an office seeker, either directly by bis own words or acts, or indirectly by the words and acts of others, inspired by himself. No newspaper editors or correspondents are in bis service, and what has been said in bis bohalf has been prompted by the merits oi lite man. We notice several ot our exchanges aro oat for Randolph A. Sbotwoil, editor ol the Farmer and Mechanic, for Auditor ou the Democratic Slate ticket. Now, why not? He is well qualified. The only tiling that can well be urged against him is, that as editor he has done faithful work for tho party in the pas'. Rut it might be a dangerous procodent to nomi nate {k man wbo had faithfully worked ior the party without au eye to self in terest. The thing might get to be oo&- man, and, iu that event many, who are now prominent for big places, wonki be left oat. Upon the whole it might uol be well to disturb the custom of ignoring the real workers ior the party, when places ofhduor and piofit are to be given. Col. Winston's State Convention of the National party, which met in Greens* bore on the sth of thia month to have been a small affair. No apeak* ore present, no demonstration, and only four delegates, and one of tbom a square Republican, as we see it stated. We need ail such nun M Col. Winston in the ranks of the Demosratio party. He oan hope to do nothing in * separate organization to stay the tide of ltepub lican enoroachment upon the usages and principles of the government, He and thoae who think wjth him asay differ in opinion upon certain matters with leading Democrats, and so do wej and so do leading Demoerata differ wilb each other, as to that matter, on many questions. Among men of the same party even, there will alwaya be a dif ference on minor questions, and if the party was subdivided into as aiany or ganisations aa there differences on sub ordinate questions there woold be other conventions with only four delegates The Morning Stair, the able vVilming t6n daily is oot ia the interest of any individual for any office, so far as we have observed indications, but in the interest of thoDemcc.atid party, it gives seme sound advice as to the capaci ty of the den who go to make up onr Democratic State Ticket.. We extract MS follow*: It ha* been sAid'that the candidate for Governor should be a man of the great .est purity of life and who haa the res apect and coufidenoe of eunr Democrat. It is not known who be the Re pnbltoan candidates. The Democratic 'Convention will nominaU before the opposition. Our partv, frienda should act aa if they were assured of being com pelled to meet the strongest men be longing to the Republican party. Any other courao will be unwise and dange rous. If we select a weak ticket- weak in its debating talent, weak in the confi dence of the people, what may be natur ally expected? , Suppose the Republican ticket shoold b»: For Governor, Edwin 0. lieade; for lieutenant Governor, Judge Seymourj lor Secretary of Bute, Richard O. Bad ger; for Attorney Qeneral, TIB well L Hargrove; and the remainder of the ticket should be equally well filled aa to talent, bow will a wnak Democratic ticket fare on the hustings. ANSTUSK VStTC «I UATIS* At (bt extra session of Congress provis** iou «H not made to pay Uuiled Stales Marahala because the Republicans wouM not consent to a modification ol tbe elec lion law*, and ao there waa urgout n*» oessity fur an immediate appropriation to pay tbt«e officers. tVbeu the bill came np at tbe preaeut aeaaiou, Genl. Garfield, the leading republican In tbe ilonso, in troduced au amendment, providing that depot j marshals to enforce tbe election laws should be appointed by (lie Judges or tbe Federal oourts, within their res* pective distrieu, an equal number to be taken from each of tbe two parties. This ; amendment was accepted by the Demos crats, snd tacked on to what Is kuowti as the Immediate Deficiency Dill, as a rider, as such political legislation, when tacked to appropriation bills, is now called. Tbe Pbiladeldhla Time a, an able paper, independent iu politics but with Republican proclivities, has some sensi ble remarks upon the veto of this bill by tbe President which we here append: President Haves has vetoed the mar dials deficiency bill, onlensibly because it contains a ijoliucul rider that was pro- f 4*osed,by (jen. Garfield. The fairness of itio (iiirliold amendment -was. confessed by dispassionate men of both sides, and it was prompt ly_accepled by the Democrats of both houses. It provided that deputy marshals to enforce iho Federal election laws should be appointed by tlft Uufted States courts, equally from both politi cal parties, and it was regarded by the country as a just solution oljjue ot the yet lingering revolutionary wrongs which survive the war. # If the Democrats could liave directed the action ol the Executive t j servo their partisan purposes, they could not have made him better promote their interests. They retused to make appropriations tor the marshals at the extra session, because the Republicans would not consent to tnodiiy the violent and revolutionary pewors of deputy marshals and super visors, and the inarshuls hare necessarily suffered serious embarrassment ill per forming their legitimate duties. When the present session took up the diflciency bill lor t|>e relief ol uiamhals, Ueucrul Garfield presented an ameudmeut of such admitted fairness that even those who voted against it could Rot assail its merits. It was accepted by the Demo crats as a measure or peace, and it was believed that all dangers of a conflict be tween tbe Democratic majority of Con gress and ibtiiepublican President were ended. Tbe bill (bps amended by Garfield was finally passed by both branches, and tbe President was so for forgetful of the dig nity of his office as to permit It to be an* nouneed, before the bill caine iuto his hands that be would veto it and on what grounds be would base his objeclioift. Tbe bill reached him on and yesteiday tie reipouded with When It Is considered that tbe Garfield amendment or political rider to which ho now objects is in substantial accord with bia veto ot the extra session, and that it is a republican and not a Democratic invention, the honesty and sincerity of '.lie Executive will bo justly appreciated. There is uot.a line in the veto in which Hayes does net directly contradict Hayes both as a member of Congress who uui torruly supported Republican riders and as the President'who asked for substan tially the same law that he uow rejects, whether his causless veto is the result of duplicity or weakness, is of Utile moment lo tbe country, for tbe public wrong is the same in either case; and that it is tbe logical fruit of one or the other is too clear to adroit ot dispute. It is a foolish veto, foolish In every sense, it is foolish because it is likely to distract tbe busi» ness and peace of the country; it is fools ish as a party measure, for it puts the. Republicans clearly in the wrong, and it is foolish as au attempt to obstruct the enactment of honest election laws. The Democrats baVo uow a plain path bofore tbetn. The president is to be rec ognised as one of the iutogral parts ol the law making power, and the rider to wldch he pretends to object should at once be sent lo hiiu as a separate bill. It he shall voto Gen. Garfield's election law, the rtsponslbilty will be fairly upon him a.'lf and bis party. Tho marshals defi* ciency bill should thon be re-enacted, with tfao vetoed rider retained, and if he shall again veto It, Congress will have done its duly and all appropriations for that department ot tho government should bf resolutely refused. It is tbe first time in an issue with the presen; Exccutivo'in which the Democrats have been clearly and squarely right, and they can well afford to go to (lie country on Gen. Garfield's platform for bonest elecs dons, it would seem tliut the follies 01 Iho Democrats at the extra sessiou bad been transferred lo lite Republicans, and If they shall persist fu their madness,the) must be prepared to accept the popular reprotoaiiou that loet tbe Deuiocruts in 18W. ■iMlr V«rk h litkn.
