Tk issue between the Senate, and tbe President is, as stated by the f Boston Herald, simply this: "The President has simply suspended officials 'in bis discretion,' as warranted by the teourer of-ofSce Jaw, and 'for "the good of the serriee;' and the information which Ii has reeeiTed, and offered to place at the disposal of the Senate, relates chiefly ?o ,ihe; persons nominated in their pLitH;S. . His reasons were those 'polit'umL uil publlo ones, 'not necessarily partisan,' which Senator Edmunds has bert-t&fote declared to be entirely proper aud ade i quate as a cause of executive aotion, "add if the Senate shall twist and quib- ,ble from. now- until the end- of the ses sion it can get no other statement front the president." And this is the Tie W taken by nine-tenths of the independent papers, North and West. ' I ! i I i , b 7.: .' ' Tsouiuxh Shuiuk bobs up again, but not serenely by any means. He has a grieranee now against the press of the eountry, and he wails his sorrow into he ears of the world as ji be really were a martyr worth a moment's considera tion, He says : "The tyranny of the press in this country is becoming simply awful.' It i wcrse than the tld tyranny of the slaveholders. It will cause a worse revolution than slavery did. It will not be bloodlese, either. Why, the- gossip of the press has destroyed social freedom of intercourse. Jt has made jrien afraid of their j neighbors, j it has led to - general suspicion and distrust. No man can pen his mouth any more and be sure that his confidence will be reopected. ' No man can write to his ac quaintance and be sure that bis letter will not appear in print, l here is no comfort left in the land." To the, un biased mind tbe trouble would seem to be that Sherman is no longer at liberty to lie with safety; Simply that and nothing more. "Othello s occupation a eone.

Thi fire at Wilmington was most dig astrous, and the vyumingtonians have the deepest : sympathy 9f 'their fellow citicens throughout the State in the misfortune i which .; has befallen thorn. The newest and best part of the dubi- nees quarter of the cty has been "laid waste? and, many handsome residences as well. The loss is estimated by 'our special correspondent at half a million dollars, but we judgo from the extent of the area burned oyer that it will be found eventually to amount to much more than that. The" blow is a heavy one, but Wilmington is noted for noth ing more than its pluck and may be ex pected therefore maniuuy to oear its ui luck and to proceed at once to rebuild the ruined' district in even handsomer style than thai which characterised it before the fire The pathway taken by the flames' was! very! nearly that of the srreat conflarration of 1841 or '42, and very nearly the same area;, was swept The increase in the value of property, however, incident to the growth of the city, makes the loss m the : present in stance very much greater than it was in the case of th first fire, of course,, and as the little town of forty yars ago rose in greater beauty than before from1 the ashes of whit the Older WilmingtoniaDs call 'the great fire," so the city of 'to day will doubtless appear in a few years tbe stroBger and handsomer tor tne con flagration Of Sunday. ; Meantime, now ever, the inconvenience and' loss result mar irom the destruction of ,a third, or more of the business quarter will be most seriously fblt,: and in this trouble North Carolinians generally 'will sympa thise with the people of a city they love ana oi wntcn ,iuey are prouu, ana win .cheerfully render whatever Aid, should aid; be desired, .they may have it in their power w oestow. ? . - i lYlSTXRnirT being Washington's birth daj; a general holiday neither house of Con er ess was in session I The Blair ' educational bill is f the unfinished : busi Uess of the Senate, and following that we may look for Mr. Hoar's bankruptcy bill and: the bill for the admission of - IT'' 4-" V ' r ' V- Washington Territory.

' , i i " ' . Th great strike in the coke! regions of Pennsylvania has eOfne to an end. The syndicate controlling the coke busi ness has granted the 10 per cent advance demanded and; work was resumed.;' yes terday. ; We are glad to note : the fact. These strikes cost lke Bmoke naot only in money to the capitalist, but in suffer ing: to the laborer and, sadder to say, to the laborer's family. They are always deeply to be deplored and should by all means bo avoided j whenever possible. Take this very; strike of the Pennsylva nia cokers. There has been lost during the; thirty days and more of iff ontin uance to the syndicate over $100,000, the: interest on! the $1 8,000,000 invested in the business and the money expended in protecting the property from; the strikers in addition and to the laborers nine thousand dollars daily in unearned wages; the railroads have lost freight age to the extent of eight hundred car loads daiW and there have beeh conse quential damages which canuot be esti mated, It wiil take months, and per haps years, to cover the ground lost during the continuance of the unfortu nate disagreement. ; Tin conflagration jit Wilmington was along the riverside and the fine fire de partment of our sister city had thus an bsoluteiy full supply of water. Yet they could not stay the flames though they worked with all the saill and en ergy of Vetera as and were aided by the ciuxens generally. What wouldUBal eigh do in the event of a great fire4-and such a njisfortune may befall us any day with our wholly inadequate water supply ? , Had we not better look into this matter of water f : r i Statob.P(7h, of Alabama made a hit the other dsy when during the dis cussion of the Blair bill be said hit col- eagUe (Mr. llorgau") had 'offered an amendment a short time ao to the ap propriation bill by which several thou sand' dollars were to be devoted to. the work of arreBting the ravages of the cat erpillar and investigating thn devasta tion of the cotton wnrm, and yet vio lently opposed a bill to aid public edu cation. He could not see how Congress could have the power to arrest the rav ages of the caterpillar in certain locali ties of certain States, and not have the power to arrest the ravages of ignorance. We cannot see how either. NOMK Ht'K.tllfca. in of tb RobU.1 Patriotic, Brilliant a.d FloqvoMt -Unmailti" niek Nortb Carolina bad Uu U Pro ad Ol. Cor. of the Nxws and Obskrvsb.
