Dsllb Wheeleb:-As is well known to yon the collectorship in yoar district has been at yoar dis posal for some time. We both know how it feels to be kicked ont of office under charges. My heart has yearned for you ever since that little collectorship affair of mine in New York. You doubtless remem ber Secretary Sherman's letter to me, dated Jannary 31st, 1879. I was then collector of the Tort of New York. To show you how fully you have ray sympathy I will quote a sentence. Imagine my feelings when I read the follow ing: Gross abuses of administration "have continued and increased "during yonr incumbency. The 4iexicnsea of jour office have in "creased, while its receipts have been diminished. Bribes, or gra- "tuities in the shape of bribes, 'have been received by your subor dinates, and jfi Mare in no case "supported te effort to correct these abuses. Were these charges true V Determined to crush and dis grace me this same Secretary Sher man, when the question of con- will not hesitate to give it publici ty. In a matter of this sort Dr. Wheeler's politics has not the weight of a feather with us. We would not knowingly misrepresent the meanest political foe. i A POLITICAL MACHINE. Asj administered the internal revenue bureau is a powerful and dangerous political machine. It has been unscrupulously and reckless ly used in North Carolina and other Southern States to maintain the ascendancy of the Republican par ty. The service has been made in famous by the employment of spies and detectives, and the people have been plundered, harrassed and tor mented. Until the whole system is torn up by the roots it will con tinue, in the same way. Take Vir ginia as an instance. In that State the five districts have been consol idated into three at the dictation of Mahone. The districts have been , arranged with n view to strengthening his political power in the State, The New York Herald's Washington correspondent says : ' Among the collectors retained are James D. Brady, of Petersburg, of the second district, whose new district will embrace five of the ten The Ktalwarta Top. CUrUU OWrer.J In commenting upon the remov al of Mr. Everitt, and the appoint ment of Dr. Wheeler to the collec torship of the fifth district, which uas been enlarged by. the addition of several counties cut off from the sixth district, we asserted that it was a stalwart triumph, and that it meant the re-organization of the Kepublican nartv in this State nn- der stalwart leadership. This view is also held in Washington as we gather from the correspondence of me uaitimore SSun. One of the conditons. it seems. upon wnicn ur. w Heeler was ap pointed, was tnat be and the stal wart element with which he acts should give full adhesion to the coalition movement, which the ad ministration expects to foster and upon which it largely counts. . In fact this programme had been en tered upon before the appointment or v heeler, and the warefare be tween the contending rival factions led respectively by Dr. Mott and Thomas B. Keogh, had practically ceased, Mott recognizing the fact that Keogh was on top in Wash ington and Keogh on the other j Randolph Item. I Courier. The Wheat crop of the county is panning oat well.

Revival of the CJrant King In North Car- ollua.

The statement was based upon cur rent iuformation at tho time, to the effect that the grand jury had made one or mora presentments against Dr. Wheeler.

Pluck and determination won, as it always does, and Mr. Mnrdock is now one of the most successful farmers iu Iredell. These thoughts are re called by the following from the Statesville landmark : Mr Mnrdock is devoted to grass culture. lie has 15 or 1G acres in timothy, red top and clover, and says that as a. crop for profit it beats corn two to one. He makes about 40,000 lbs. per year, and year for year it sells at about 75c per hundred. One year he sold the crop for 91 per hundred. II is hay the President has at last acceded to their wishes, with the under standing that Wheeler and the stalwart clement will give in their full adhesion to the coalition move ment in North Carolina. Everitt, the person put iu by Mr. Sherman, is consoled with the tender of an office in one of the territories said to be quite profitable.

From this statement it appears that a presentment " waa made by the Federal grand jury in 1SS1, and, that by direction of the court, it uas delivtrcd to the District Attorney. No bill was sent by the District Attorney, and, of course, no Indictment was found by the grand jury. Whatever this cor rection is worth Dr. Wheeler is cheerfully accorded to him. Personally we have not the slightest interest in the removal of Everitt and the re-instatemeut of Wheeler. We hate a very slight personal knowledge of cither of them, and know nothing against their personal integrity. We make no accusations against Wheeler impeaching his personal probity. The charges against him affect his odcial record and they have been made by Republicans. These is offered on this market; indeed. he cannot near supply the demand for it, and, asked as to the cause of its popularity, he said it lay in the manner of the curing. He never mows after 11 o'clock in the day. Early in the morning ho starts his mower, the rakes follow ing and putting the hay in winrows. In the afternoon he has it put up in cocks. Tho next morning he opens it out,, letsit getthorougly warmed then puts it in cocks again and the third day hauls it to the stack be fore it gets cold. Thus it is two nights curing, and cures green and succulent. It is never allowed to lie through a hot afternoon sun and get black, brittle and sun-burned. Horses eat every strand of it. aud liverymen around here buy it be fore it is mowed. Mr. Mnrdock prefers selling it at the stacks. The difference against him thus is about 15c per hundred, but he says that while he is hauling it he can make more than this amounts to at something else if nothintr more, at filling np gullies and sow ing clover over them. He lives on a place that has been fanned gn eration after generation.
