Senator Cameron declinee to be the chairman of the National Committee. Ka isn't anxious to lead his party to de feat} aeibe leader of that party oertain ly will dow In Iks Republican convention in Gran ville County, it waa proposed to appoint a committee to draft resolutions endors ing Garfield and Arthur. The proposal net with saoh a storm of opposition from the negrose that it wts withdrawn; and pet the Republican ticket ia popuiar(?) C It is eapeoialty important that avary asnftsr of the ecssontivs committee shall report to ths call of ths chair, for asssstiagon ths lftth inat. Ths cam paign bas already begun, bat as yet no plaaa have bese laid fipr ths work to bo done in this county. Ths sell of tbe obairman contemplates sash action. We therafors urge upon svery ossmbsr of ths committee ths im% puT tanas of attendance. Dating ths present campaign, every Democrat to Alamance County should he well informed, and thoroughly posted as to ths program of svSnta. Ths result ef ths election nsxt Fall will seal the destiny of tbe nation for a number of yeara. In view of thiss fasts, the ques tion may bs aaked bow am the people to be kept Informed? We answer through ths soiamns of THUS Guaxsa. Demo crate who are really interestsd in the anoosas of ths party to November, will use tbsir inflnenss to extend onr circulation j as widely aa possible. We ahall ecdeav ar to do our part, and only ask your co operation. While tbe enthusiasm for the Demo sratlo nominees Is oonstantly growing stronger, the little excitement that was gotten op for the Chicago nominees is vapidly waning. Ttyi Republicans found out iuaide of a week that Garfield is a weak candidate. It took less time to detm mine that Hancock is a strong one. TbS following dispatch from tbe New York Sun will give an idea of prospect of of slsstlng Garfield: "Noted Republicans at Washington, whose names would excifs surprise it Ilolt, Erwin & everybody to come and ex&fliine their large Stock oi (>oods at Company Shops given to the public, advocate the -policy of withdrawing Garflfld,. .and substhus ting another candidate wltose, record \s not tain'ad with venality and dishonor. They think* the party is not strong enough to ; carry such a load, and that do teat staresthem in the face if it be not relieved. This idea is by no means con lined to a sir all circle, 4nit has extended to important influences, and finds favor among tlx) friends of more than one of the aspirants Mjho were defeated at Chicago." . We are decidedly opposed to any such measure. We believe that Garfield is already beaten, and have very serious objections to having another candidate set np_ It remaius to be seen what will be doue. DBHPKRATION. The Republican party in the agony of despair, are contemplating a desperate effort to carry the election and 6ave their party in November. The project now ou foot is to call a special session ot the leg islature ol Now York for the purpose of enacting a law to provide tor the choos ing of presidential electors by congres-' sional districts, instead Of the manner in which it is now done iu every Stale iu the Union. »« ■> . It it now apparent that the success of the Democratic party is almost a certain ty, and it is ouly by the most despeaate measures, that tho Republicans can hope to save themselves from annfc-1'...1i0n. They hope by this means contemplated, to divide the tote of New Ybrk which is otherwise safe for the Democrats. If they shall array out of their plans, instead of helping they will ouly dig deeper their grave, into which they will sink in November. Of all the vile, profane, and venomous abme ever heaped upon the citizous of a respectable community,TazwellL. Har grove at a recent Radical meo.tiug in Ox ford transcends anything ol the kind we ever heard. It sounds more like tho ravings of a maniac thau tho deliberate bt tcrancos of a sane man. He charged that every democrat in Granville Connty was a thlet. and a roguo; be wished tljat he could havo a democrat flayed aliVe, and his stufied j hide put upon the highest point in OXIOIH] ; ho avowed a willingness to lepd a regi ment of negroes against the white citizens of the county, and said that if be should fall iu tbe fight, be would leave all his properly to the negroes to carry on tho struggle. , : We couljl toll our readers more of what this man said, but we forbear; the words to which he gave utterance were so pro fane and filthy that wo cannot defile our columns with them. It is a sad commentary on the pros* pects of the republican party that it mast descend to such depths tp find . fuel on, which to feed campaign Area. VVe think It correspondingly cheering to the demo crats to reflect that so intelligent a man as T. L. Hargrove is reduced to such ex tremities lor material to kindle carnpaigu enthusiasts. Democrats need not fear the result while the interest? o! the Ros publican parpJ*-4a j tbr~hauda., of such leaders. If Mr. Hargrove would consent to{canvass the state after the manner of bis Oxford Bpeach, it would not be necesssar? for a democrat to tako the stump during the campaign. TU ABBTREID I.IIAK lORA(K T) MW. Bolow we give a full text of the bill which has passed both Houses ot Congress aud become a law, amending the sixth subdivision of section 8,244 of the res vised ftatute, relating to dealers in leaf tobacco. It adds to that subdivision the following: Provided further, That dealers iu leal tobacoo (other than retail dealers, as de fined in the seventh subdivision of the seotionA who do not deal iu leaf tobacco otherw (se than to sell, or consign for sale on commission to an amount not ex ooediug twentysfive thousand pounds in any one special tax year, only such leal tobacco as they purchased or received in the handTlirectly from farmers or planters who have produced tbe same on the laud owned, rented or leased by tbem,or re ceived the same as rent from their tens ants, who have produced tbe same on sncb land shall oach be required to pay for oarryiiig ou sttoh busiueas a special tax of $6 only. If any person who baa paid such special tax ahall be lound to 1 nave purchased or received and sold or consigned for sale ou commission more than 25,000 pounds ot leaf tobacoo, such as herciu provided for, in any one special tax year, the commissioner of internal revenne is authorized and directed to assess such persons an amount of tax as hereinbefore imposed upou * dealer in leaf tobaccoi, r The .class ot dealers to which tbe above provision is applfcnle has heretofore paid a special tax of #25. The reduction of this tax to 96 under the conditions'/in dicated was recommended by the corns tnisaioner ot internal revenuo mid con curred in unanimously not only by' the Ways and Meaua Cominitte, aud the Senate Finance Cpmmkte but by both houses. In repotting the bill tbe bouse, tbe Ways aud Means Committee said that in their opiuion its passage would result in multiplying the uumbcr of deal ers iu leaf tobacoo irt'creatlrig a market for the came iu neighborhoods without a market for such tobacco and in thus causing many pounds of tobacco which are now never exposed to sale, to find their way to the mauutacturer. The Ilandall Club of Philadelphia, have appointed a committee lo make arrange ments in Washington, 191- the inaugura tion of Hancock. BBAVO. rieiTD Independent Sournnl in iicKard iu the »emoc»-atic Nomliuv tioua, . M r .. [Journal ot Commerce.] For the first time in a dozen years (he Democratic party in the United States has given' full evidence of returning senso. The proceedings at Cincinnati have been in marked contrast with the long, inglorious wrangle in which the Republicans indulged at Chicago, and the nomination which heads the .list is one eminently fit.to be made. Wi'ifield Scott Hancock is more than a brave soldier who has been irW on many a battlefiekl. Ho is. a wise statesman as well learned in the arts of ppaco. a noble, honest man, with no experience in political trickery, and above all charge of guile. There is not a stain on his recoid from the day be graduated at West Point to the present tinje. He fought the Indians on the frontier; he won early laurels on the plains of Mexi co; and in the late civil war he was dis tinguished ou every battle-field Where the voice ot duty called him. In Wil liamsburg and at Frazer's Farm;, id., the conflicts at South Moutain ami Antietam; at Fredericsburg and ChaucellorsvUle; at Gettysburg, which he chose for General Meade as the true place for a great tat tle: and (when ho recovered' trom the sore wounds he received that women tons struggle) at the battles of the Wilderness, Spot lay lyania Court House,. North Anna, the second engagement at Colsl Harbor, and, still later, in tho con flicts around Petersburg he was every where, cool, sagacious, energetic, heroifc, "superb"—a tower of strength always*j and never wanting in a single l quality that marks the great soldier or tbe : true patriot. Hancock was „born in Montgomery couuty, Pennsylvania, February 14,. 1824, .aud is in the very prime of life.. The name itself, first on the glorious list that subscribed tlitf ' earliest Declaration of American Indspewce, iff a'prestige of suc cess. No amount of enthusiasm in bis behalf will call for any apology. There is no circumstance in bis public o.r private history, no accident of birthplace or early political connections, no side ol his character that needs t° bo explained or defended. A polisbd'4 and cultured gentleman, a brave and successful soldier, an upright and honest man, he is withs out Slain aud above reproach-flit to sit in the chair of Washington and repre sent the people U), the mon aichß and stajesfoeuol the world. The nominee lor the VioP-PreHidoncy, 'William H. English, of lbdiatift, has been long hrpUbHcf Kle> and has served With honor aud credit both in the Legislature of his native State and in Congress. itte will make a capital presiding oflloer in tho Senate, and his popularity at tho West will add to the strength of the ticket. For many years we have longed for a change iu the national administration, tin* party now dominant in the executive bureaus was at onetime so strong that its best men were not needed to lead it to success, and honce those who W ei- e least for such promotion crowded thews selves into places of honor aud trust. Maladministration and gross corruption inevitably followed, aiid there is 110 way of purifying the departments of t ment but through a change in the con , trolling power. If the Democrats could be inaugurated but fur a single term, aud the Republicans then succeed them the change would work an Incalculable bone fit to the countrjf. Only with lresh,, pure men as their leaders could the ops position hope to pave the way for their > return, aud the old cliqne, now laden I with dishonest spoils, once out of their, pluces, would be forever excluded. While a few personal friends of 'the politicians may grieve over their disap* pointmeut, the great body of the people will rejoice at the results of this Convens tion. If tho campaign is conducted throughout with the wisdom manifested at its commencement, the chances are certainly three out of fiye, and we think five out of seven, that the ticket l» 8t nominated will be elected. We believe that good men of all parties will gladly accept this result, and that it wilt; cons tribute in no small degree toward au era of good feeliug and a revival ot the' old prosperity in every section ot our oopa mon country. Speech •fDuMI Dtightrlr N*«luitnf| tlw. U*HMk> (Philadelphia Times.) Now Came the great speech and the great sensation of the day. While all lb o other speedk'inakiug was going ou Dan iel Dougherty,delegate protein., through the courtesy of Mr. Spear, stood hi the stall, pawing tbe ground like a war horse scenting the battle from. alar. "Pennsylvauial" was tho call,'. "Mr» President," said Chairman Hay, who took no stock in the Ilaucook movement aud who httle suspected tbe hubbub that was to be raised-lu his behalf. "Mr. Chairman Pennsylvania has nt> candi date to present for the Presidency, t>nt a delegate wishes to advocate tbe claim of one,other distinguished sous." There was a murmur ol admiration as Do.ugh ertv rose and stepped briskly to the front with ihe air of a man who has to periorm an agreeable duty, tor tbe discharge of •Which he leels quilo equal. The vast audience saw at ohco t\j a | this Wag a msn worth hearing, and it held' its breath anil listened. The first sentence reveal ed the sympathies of the audience which laio bare Ihe candidate of the speakers choice. At the mention of Hancock's name tliere Arose a mighty shoot. Here tofore the noise hid boon confined to cer tain parts of tho houso and the applause for candidate* had coins maiulv from their own,respective,Motions, but now one half Ot the convention seemed to rise toittYest.' ttqudreds on the platform lertt their voices to tho tuutUlt and the galftries begaA a great roar ot delight. Dougherty stood with | ie «d his face alternately paling aad flushing* while his lips quivered with the burning words tliat he was eager to utter but could not until the enthusiasm ot his au dience had somewhat spent itself, then he went on, but only to stop again and again, as tbq people in admiratiou of his finished oratory and in sympathy with the sentiments that he yoioed v persisted in yelling their approval. Everybody was surprieed.at the sudden evolution ol the Hancock krvor, but eVerjbody felt like joining in it. Dougherty's speech in lull was as foliows. I propose to present to the thonghtfnl consideration of the convention tbe name ol one whe.-pn the field of battle, was styled "The Superb" (cheers yet won still-no bier renown as a military govern or whos* first act when in command ol Louisiana and Texas was to salute the constitution by proclaiming that the mil iary rule shall never bo subservient to civil power. tCheers] The plighted word of a soldier was proved by the acts ol a statesman. I nominate one whose name will suppress all factions (cheers), will be alike acceptable to the North and 4o the South—a name that will thrill the republic; a name, it nominated, of a man that will el'ush the last embers of sec tional strife,, and whose name Will be hailed as the dawning of the day of per petual brotherhood. With him we shall fling away our shields and wage an ag gressive waiv We can appeal no the su preme tribunal of the American people against corruption of the Republican party and their untold violations of the constitutional liberty. With him as our chieftain the bloody'banner of the Res publicans will fail ufrom their palsied grasp. Oh, my countrymen, iu .this su. preine moment the destinies of the re public are at stake and the 1 liberties of the people are imperiled. The people" hang breathless, on your defiberation.. Take heed! Make po mis stop!
