Last week another rumor that Best

Boon shown bo be nothing but a rumor,
and thereby tho point of tiro or tbroe

A correspondent of the

The weekly Chronicle is the latett

cltiitns te be entirely independent in

could'be better suited outside af either
the Democratic or Republican parties,

third par'y in North Carolina. A Ma

A. correspondent of a New York pa

the point: " Let no man say when he
is tempted, I am tempted of God, for
God cannot be tempted with evil,
livelier tempteth he any mux But
every man is tempted when he is drawn
away by his own lust and enticed. Then
when lust bath oonoeived, it bringeth
forth sin ; and sin, when it is finished,

In another column will be found a
letter Irom a correspondent of theiVsuw-
Observer , in which Cbl; Thomas M.
Holt is suggested as a candidate for
Governor. It is true that there is plentj
of time before the next elsctiou to' can
vass the merits of jM-obable candidates
for the first offioo in the State; yet we
take great pleasure in seconding the
nomination rf our distinguished fellow
citizon of Ataman JO County. His in
tegrity, industrious •uccessful manng—
went of bis own enterprises are a guar
antee that bo-would do honor to the
people of North Carolina a* their Gov
ernufr.
George B. Everitt may be a« confident
of remaining iu the office o( cjliecior of
this district for an indefinite length of
time nshe claims to be; but his duclara
tions would not seem to be founded on
any faith in the strength of his position,
when his friends solicit an endorneuieut
of his administration from a
outiide of hia own political party. But
thay muke » mistake if they think that
tike GLEANER can be made the parti*
san of a Republiean offica bolder who
e«nnot secure the sympathy of th« He
publican pieaa of liia district. When
we get r*ady to take a band in the
tight for spoil*, we will auifounse the
foot in these columns.
The insatinble greed for office that
no# afflicts North Carolina Republicans,
finds an apt illustration in the undue
haale with which Judge Seymour, of the
State Superior Court, s|»ed to Washing"
ton in quest of the seat on the judicial
bench lately occupied by Judge Brooks.
The Patriot tells how he adjourned court
and made haste to the headquarters for
the distribution of spoils :
'JudgeSeymour passed throng!) Greens
boro last night At break-neck speed en
route for Washington. He arrived at Lex
ington Tuesday morning for the purpose
of holding the special term of Davidson
Superior Court, but hearing of Judge
Brooks 1 death, he immediately adjourn
ed the c jurt, packed his gpp-sack *nd
started for Washington. A« this pa
thetic paragraph is being penned the
Judge is reclining softly in a Pullman
palace car, and in his imagination he
has donned the spotless robes of the
lamented Brooks. In the meantime
court stands adjourned until Monday
next, and suitor*, witnesses and other
attendants can make the most of it.'
Oh 1 the gread, the h»nk?*>"*
spoils, that exhibits itself*i&XilL aegieft,
of judioial duties and the utter
of publie convenience and the dispensa
tion of jottise. Would the mantle of
the honored dead rent well on the shouK

to secure it ?«

WASHINOTOK, D. C., I
Jan, IS, 1883. S
Tbe indication* at tbe present time
ir* that the moat important retail of
Speaker Kiefer's outrageous concoction
of the CommiUfti will be a change in
jtbe system of tbeir aaleetion. It ia not
improbable, from tbe present temper of
the House, that Mr. Kieter ia tbe lust
Speaker who will have tbe exercise of ao
much power, or the opportunity to abase
it, and tbat in future tbe Committees
triil be made in much tbe same manner
tbey ere iu tbe Senate. It is even Mut
ed that the Committees tor this Congress
mav yet be reorganized; but this I think
unlike.'y> though there is so much feeling
oil both aides of the House that the
movement could be carried if properly
inaugurated Mr. Orih, who g&ve the
Speaker such a cutting rebuke in open
session, is not the only Bei-üblican who
feels outraged or who recognizes tbe mo*,
lives and moving spirit of tbe whole
scheme. Mr. Waite, is
another old aud prominent Republican
member who baa taken decided excep
tions to tbe course of the Speaker and
written a letter declining to aerve under
tbe circa mat ancea. There are curses
loud and deep all along the line. The
Mrraofements o! Committees is a matter
Entirely within eontroi ol the House, and
it teonly by asage and courtesy that the j
Speaker has been heretofore given that
authority. Whenever a majority of the
Members so determine, it is in the
province of tbe Boose 10 undo his work
aud take the matter fn their own bands.
If such action were to be taken now Mr.
Kiefer could not complain. He has
abnred hia privilege to such an un •
warrantable and wnpreoedented extent
that the grievauce is not a slight one.
It rises because of its grossneas above all
mere peraonal considerations, and no
fair peraon would regret to see the
wings of its perpetrators inglorious?
dipped.
The Mormon question thrusts itself up
on Congress in a very positive manner,
and like Banqno's gboat It will net own.
Doubtless a majority are against the in
famous institution of polygamy and
willing to aee its political power destroy
ed r yet somehow thera is a disposition
to handle the subject rather gingerly. I
shall not l»e surprised if the present agi
tation ends in smoke and inaction, as all
previous attempts- have done. It takes
something like an oartbquake to inspire
Congress to do its duty iu dealing with
any great evil which possesses power and
influence. The plan proposed by Dole
gate Mayhini*, of Montana, appears to.
be the least violent and effective ot any
suggestion so tar. Hie proposition it to
let Congress div*le the Territory of
Utah, incorporating the western part
with the State of Nevada, the south
eastern part with the Stale of Colorado,
and the small northern part with Idaho
and Wyoming. Congress has abundant
power to do this, and it is evident that
wbeu it is done Ibe Mormon power will
be broken. A part of the Mormon popu •
la tin u will be Iten citizens of Nevada,
and will bef there only a minority ol the
whole State, and part will become ciii
seua of Colorado ni a minority there.
The amall remainder will lorm a pert of
Wyoming or luabo. The maiu portion
of ibe Mormon population would ibns be
come citfctni ol States wbicb have aU
reuJy established constitution* and lavvs,
to which the Mormons would be amena
ble. It is held Ihut such a division i f
U ah and distributional imparts would
not only bo periecilv legal and proper,
rtuit would have the advantage hat the
n**w boundaries would ba natural ins'cad
of artificial. The Watch Range,, which
now runs through the centre of Utah,
would llien f»nn the boundary line be
tween the Slates of Colorado aud Neva
da. Is there any reason why Utah
should uot thus be blotted oat of the
map?
If John Sherman has not been cornered
ltd* lime people would like to know
what ii is (lint makes him squirm so.
Ever since the investigation into the
contingent fund expenditures of the
Treasury Depart incut was instituted
John bar been wriggling aud twisting,
and the u.quiry has been embarrassed at
every turn by obstacles interposed in his
iuterest. His firs' step, it will be re
membered, was lo secure a suppression
ol the evidence accompanying the report
ot Secretary WijMfom's little committee
ot clerks lastgrimmer. Enough of that
evidence has leaked out, however, in
oue way or uitother, to show that the
late Secretary aud Presidential aspirant
had good reasons for wishing to keep it
dark. The Senate Cominitleo coiiituc'-
iug I his investigation sits with
closed doors, so that ve:y little is really
kuown ol what transpires within; but
some things come out through the keys
I hole, or somehow else, which indicates
"paying dirt," as they say in (lie mines,
has been struck. The Republican mem
bers of the Committee, who are a
majority, asserted with great vehemence
at the start that nothing should be done
in the dark—that the public should kiTow
just what was going on—yet, just as a
matter of precaution you know, to keep
the newspapers from hiding the truth,
they voted to double-lock aud seal the
doors. That is the way people always
[do when they want things to be fully
understood. Whatever may be showu
concerning Mr. Sherman's use ok the
coniingeut fund for his own betiefit in
furnishing his house, or other ways,
it ought to be shown how lie used em
ployees, not paid out of this tutu!, for
carrying oh his late canvass. Item; Two
special agents, appointed at SB.OO per
day, were assigned to duty at the Point
of Georgetown (?) aud sent out to do
John Sherman's work. Wby at George*
town? It might as well have been
Bladensburg, or Podunk, or the "green,
.jr— —'-Mioif.j^ranywhere else. And
Wo* . ovetns I hat Speaker' KfeU. 'is
lending himself lo suppression of evi
dence supposed to hurt somebody. The
report sent 10 Congress ot the contingent
expenses of the Treasury Department
has been in the Speaker's possession sev
eral days, but he will not lay it before
the House, though it is sent in pursuance
ol law and is not a matter belonging to
the Speaker or to his wbim. Mr.
Kiefer stands a good chance to get him
self "disliked" uot atone by the respects
able members, of the body over which he
presides but by the public generally.
Small drain.
[Raleigh News and Observer]
Speaking wtih Mr. McGehee yesterday
about the result ol the Atlanta Exposi
tion and the noble show our Stale made
there, be said it was in truth cause for
pride* But said he, though the Depart
ment of Agriculture feels such pride iu
this, yet tuere is another bit of its work
the past autumn which has been even
more prolific of good results. In re
sponse to an inquiry as to what this good
bit of work was, Mr. McGhee aaid that
early in tho autumn, seeing the work of
the drought with the crops, the depart
ment issued a circular in which tho
necessity tor putting iu heavy crops of
small grain, particulary wheat, was
stiongly urged npoi the farmers. They
were told that these crops would supply
necessities and that they should be sown
op to Ihe last moment. Ihe press of (he
Senate took up tho idea and repeated the
advice. Now as a result we bare one
ot tbe largest if not tho largest grain
crop sown in the State. In inanv coun
ties tho increase, as compared with last
year, is two, three aud four hundred
fold, while some counties actually re
port it a thousand fold. Wheat was put
in tbe ground up to the last available
moment. This was the case in nearly
all parts of the Stale, and where the
work ot the drought has been the worst
the largest crop has beeu sown. The re
ports furtbur indicates that the small
graiti crops look well, and tbe indications
point to anabundant hnrvest next year,
Cottou fields were sown down in the
grains, and some counties very large
areas ul cotton lands are now green
with wheat and oats in vigorous growth.
111 traveling twenty miles in North Caro
lina, at any given spaoe between Italeigh
and Charlotte, a traveler sees more
