We regard it as one of the most important schemes ever started in the State.

They have established a corps of able correspondents with members in (every county of the'State, and last, find-, ing it necessary in order to communicate with the farmers throughout our borders, have established the "Farmer an d M ech a n -ic" as their organ for that purpose." As a part of the grand scheme, it is valuable,, nnd is comincuded to the support of the people by jhjj highest considerations of State pride and personal interest.

Congress avajl themselves of ever real arnVteebnieat objection to the adnjissiu of the Louisiana Senators, to the seats in that body which the people of the Stat have eleeted them. A long and obstinate contest is kept 1 both S'li1 P.r? and Eustis: lellog was elected by hc Packard Legislature iu January lst? and was duly accredited by the Pacfjrd gov eninieut as the Senator elect. But the Packard government was a fraud, and feij to pieces the moment the troops were withdrawn from the State. Niche!sf it thus apieared, was the true Governor, elect ; ami the Legislature which after wards formed under his authority, the true government of the State. This body elected Spoffqrd, and all the; necessary forms of law were fully complied with tq certify the fact. Now thcquestion in dis pute in the'U. S. Senate is, which of the4 two is entitled to the seat, Kellog or Spoflbrd. It is contended by the Repub; cans that Kejlog's; credetiais comply ex actly wjth al the forms of laws, "evun o the broad seal of tire State, and that gruiia facie, he is the true Senator j and that the subsequent election of Spofford does not invalidate his claim. EusXis' seat is contested on slightly different grounds by Pinchback, the lat ter haying been elected by what is known as the Kellog Legislature of 1872r73. Eustis was elected by what is known in Louisiana as t!e Wheeler or compromise Legislature at a subsequent date. The credentials of Pinchback were presented and referred to the proper Congressional Committee-and led to a discussion that lasted nearly four years. The credentials of -Mr. Eustis were presented in Jan. 1876, and on the 14th referred to the Commit tee on Privileges and Elections. On the 28th of the same montb that Committee reported adversely to the right of Eustis, alledging there was no vacancy, Pinch-j back having been elected before him tb the same term ; and recommended that the papers relating to Eustis be laid upon the table. But afterwards the Senate de cided that Pinchback hatlot been elect ed, atid so his case was settled. That de cision created a vacancy and Mr. Eustis copies forward and claims that he is en titled and qualified to fill iC The Senate had recognized Mr. Eustis as a duly elect ed Senator and set him aside only on the ground that the place he claimed, was al ready filled by another man. Now, not withstandiug Pinchback is out of the way, and the long continued vacancy iu the Senatorial representation, of Louisiana, the Republicans are fighting against the admission of Mr. Eustis, for no other rea son, as it would seem, than the dread of en dangering theft partiz:m control of the Senate. . . , The case of Kellog and Spofford is now by resolution of the Senate, in the hands of the Committee on Privileges and Elec tions. Both are appearing before the Committee, Kellog by counsel, and Spof ford supporting his own claim. The Republicans' evidently intend to fight itout to the bitter-end. With a vast popular majority against them, and ap parently blind to the signs of the times, and especially to their recent overthrow in the great State of Ohio, they show no signs of wavering in Congress, and concede noth ing on witnessing the benign effects of the President's jus policy towards the South. In short, they lpive. so long clutched the South by the throat and compelled her to obey orders, that they have come to think it is right, and .are utterly nn. willing to relinquish their hold.

Last Thursday these cases weps called at the Fall term of Raid Court, Judge Bond presiding, and after some effort tp secure a continuance by the de fence, the trial was commenced. The United States attorneys and revenue offi cers were ready with their: evidence., and a vigorous prosecution was opened in the evening. That night thq consternation of the offenders was grqat, fpr tliej had, been led to believe that an arrangenieu.t for their "general amnesty"- had been or would be effected, the departmept at Washington having been deluged with pe titions in their favor from all parts pf the State, no less than seventeen thpusand persons, it is said, having signed their petitions. Qn Friday morning .the de fenilapts, fpujteen in number, agalust whom there were, twenty-eight cases, ap peared in Court, and, through, their coun sel pleaded guilty to all the indictments against them. The vigorous opening of the prosecution the evening before had completely demoralized them, and they hoped by an unconditional submission to secure consideration from tho Court, on whose niercy they had thrown themselves. After requiring competent bail for their appearance, the Cpurt suspended sentence until the next term. The penalties affixed by law to the oft fences to which they pleaded guilty W'o $500 to $5,000 fine and three years im prisonment. The names of those plead ing guilty are Jeremy R. Gilmer, R. E.

C was traveling alone in a buggy Inear Tmuersburg, Iredell county, aud met in the road a large heavy built inau, barefooted and in shirt sleeves. The stranger stopped the horse by catching hold of the bridle reins. Mr. Lanier was somewhat surprised at this action but quietly told him to let the horse loose which he did not do. Mr L. got out of the buggy ajud went towards him aud demand. ed an explanation of nuch conduct. The stranger struck at him with a knife which he had kept concealed in his baud all the time. Mr. L warded off the lick with oue hand and knocked him down with the other, and after giving the would-be-murderer a severe pumnieling he drove off, leaving him lying in the road. Iu his effort to save himself from the deadly stroke of the knife, Mr. L. received a slight wound in the neck and a painful gash on his hand. From all appearances the man referred to was a professional tramp and his intention was to assassinate Mr. Lanier for his money and buggy and horse. He had light hair and moustache, and lias not been heard from since. Piedmont Press. THE X. C. WESTERN U. S. COURT DISTRICT. We spe it stated that Hon. Mr. WaddVll has introduced a bill in the House of Representatives to abolish the Western Pjsfrict U, S, Court in Xorth Carolina. We hope it will not pass. The people of this State have few enough conveniences in U. S. Judicial and Post Office facilities without abolishing any that we now have. The Western District Court should not be abolished iu order to g4 clear of Judge Dick, Marshal Douglas or any other oft. cers who do not properly discharge their duties. Let articles of impeachment be preferred against them before the proper tribunals. If the Western District Court, is abol ished the people of the whole Western part of the State will have to travel all the way to Wilmington, or Newberne, or some other sea-shore city, to attend Court, The members of Congress from North Carolina west of Raleigh should UQt per mit Mr. Waddell's bill to pass. Charlotte Democrat. VICE PRESIDENT WHEELER'S VIEWS. Washington Republican, I6tli.. Vice President Wheeler has bad a long conference with the President regarding the political situation. In speaking on this subject yesterday the Vice Presideut remarked that, notwithstanding the action of the Republicans iu Ohio, he still felt that the course of the President in regard tq the Southern States was most judicious; that he did not regard the president's course as a policy, but as a principle of vital importance to the future peace and prpsperj'ty of the wholu country ; tlmt he felt more assured of the wisdom of the President's course than ever. During the past summer hp had opportunities to as certain the views of the Republicans not only of New York, but in ail parts of the country, and that the feeling was such that, had not this been pursued, it would have cost the Republican party thousands of votes.

A gigantic Swindle was brought' to Jlgbt yesterday. J. K, Hall, E;dyard L.Stevens and Geo. W. Miller were arrested on a requisition from Governor Hubbard, of Texas, chargpd with forging laud titles and issuing fraudulent deeds fir large tracts of land in Texas. The scheme of fraud was organized by .nail aud another person narapij Thos. Tullis, of Anstin? Texas. Hall lives here, and through his persuasion Stevens and Miller were brought into, the plot. Stephens, wbo a lawyer and son of Judge Stevens of this city, is believed to have gone into, the operations innocently lit first, by purchas ing 14,000 ae'res of Texas lanijs froqi Hall, but subsequently becoming fascinated by the opportunities offered for making mon ey rapidly, entered freely into the swind ling conspiracy, and was known in Texas as a Kansas City lawyer. In order to letter secure the success of these plans, Hall and his confederates caused to be made duplicate copies of nota ries aud. other seals, and procured speci mens of the signatures of numerous of ficials of Texas. They also caused to be printed blank iorihs, and exact' copies of deeds necessary for their transactions. All titles and patents used by them, and represeuting either the general govern ment or the State lands, were forged. An immense niuountjf laud has been con veyed by them under many different aliases to many different persons. About a year ago ihe attention of Gov. Hubbard was cailed to the fact, aud en looking into it, he was sljowu that a monstrous swin dle had been perpetrated, involving the interests of both the State of Texas aud the United States. The authorities at Washington were notified of the facts dis covered, aud Special Agent Foster was sent, out here where lie obtained clues to the authors of the swindle, which have been closely followed ever since, resultiii'r iu the arrest of sixty persons employed in various parts of the country who belong to the gang. No less than 13court houses have been set on fire and burned during the past year to destroy evidence that could have been brought against the con spirators. Hall, Stevens and Miller left for Texas, yesterday, in the custody of officers from that State. 1 Great Siriurfe-A X timber of Prominent Western Men Implicated. St. Louis, Oct., 20.

A special dispatch states that a desperate encoun ter took place Saturday evening, at Big Clifty, Ky., near Louisville, between two highwaymen and Joseph Hausen, a trav elling salesman. Hausen started to walk from West Clifty to Big Clifty to catch the train, and was inet upon the bridge which spans a chasm one h'indred and fotty-six feet in depth, by two desperate characters who demanded money. Ilau seu drew a revover and shot one, wheu the other rushed upon him and attempted to throw him oyer the bridge, Hansen drew a butcher knife from a package of samples, stabbed the robber and succeed ed in throwing him down the chasm and then escaped to Big Clifty. The robbers were arrested but not recognized by the people of the .place. -The one thrown overboard was saved from instant death by falling in the'river, but both men will probably die, ; Washington Oct, 23. It seems under stood among Louisiana politicians that King's name will not be sent to the Seu ate until near the close. The impression grows that the whole Louisiana Senatorir al question will be remitted tothecomiug session of the 'Legislature of that State. A TcrriltU Explosion. A special dispatch from Glassgow to the Pall Gazette, says ; ' An explo sion occurred in colliery at High Blan tier, near this pity. Four hundred men were in the mine at the time. A large number of lives were lost," Loxdok, Oct. 23. The latest intelli gence from the High BlaPtyne colliery is to 11 o'clock Monday night. The shaft at the bottom of which the knocking was heard, is rapidly collapsing. Explorers consequently are attempting to re-open communication from another mine. They have penetrated about half a mile, but still have one hundred and fifty fathoms to clear. !. i LATEi&F.Qur miners were discovered alive at 11 o'clock, but so exhausted that one died before morning and the. case of anether is thought hopeless. Mining ex perts express the opinion that all the men remain jng in the pits have perished, but even if auy are alive nq rescue party can reach them in less than eight or ten days. The work of bringing up the dead was re sumed this TOQrnlqg. Tb bodies were found, fearfully burned and mangled, showing that the explosion was of terrific violence, Jtailroad Accident, St. Louis, Oct. 23. A train on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad was thrown from the track to-day. The rail had been raised by a jack screw, which was left to hold the rail out of place.

In a case from Wis consin, tho Supreme Court of the United States has deeided that the Legislature has power to provide by law for maxi mum charge of fare and freight by the railroads within tho State. Says tiie Chief Justice : "With tho people of Wis consin this company has domestic rela tions. Incidentally these may reach be yond the State. But certainty until Congress undertakes to legislate for those who are without the State, Wiscousin may provide for those within, even though it may indirectly affect thoe without. If the question ever arises whether the com pany can be compelled to continue -its business at the prices fixed, it will ..be time enough for us to pass upon itv-wheu it reaches here in due course of proceed' ing. ' It is not bore now." Telegraphing in Switzerland being pan; of the postal system, its cheapness has rendered its use almost as common as the postofhVe. There is not a village, how ever smaP, or wherever located, even on the highest points of the Alps, but what has the facilities of the Government tele graph night and day. The rates for a single message to any part of the country is only ten cents. The double postal card is another feature of their system, and is one of great advantage. It enables you to send a business order, &c, on one part, and on the other your own address, so in suring an immediate answer without ex penses or trouble to the receiver. A Vast Reo.iox Opened. Stanley's ex plorations, added to those of the late la mented Dr. Livingstone, has directed the attention of the world to Africa, and al ready schemes nre on foot looking to its development. We have only as j-et a partial knowledge of the results of the latest tour of investigation by Stanley, but some of his discoveries are more im porta nt than auy which Livingstone made in his time. He has traced the course of the Congo river and found that it was identical with the Lualaba, which was seen at one point by Livingstone. This Congo river is found to be a great navi gable stream, reaching eastward beyond the centre of the continent. It is the Mis sissippi or Amazon of Africa, and is the key to the commerce of a vast region of productive country. Halifax (Xoca Sco tia) Recorder. A FREAK OF NATURE. There is, in Watauga county, N. C, near the dwelling house of Fredrick Shook, on Dutch Creek, TT flourishing oak tree of vigorous growth the leaves of which when they burst forth from the bud in the Spring are of a bright golden yellow color, and retain this color during their whole growth and maturity. Iu autumn, when the coming frost dies the other forest leaves in the wavy brilliant hues, which give such wouderfnl beauty to the mountain sides, the leaves on this remarkable tree begin at length to turu green, adopting as its own the fresh tint which is ju t de parting from the others. What a glorious tree its would have been in old Rome, where it leaves would have been twined into the oak garlands whioh crowned the victors' brows! Could not Vick, Briggs, J. Van Ljndley or some other enterprising nurserymen make a handsome speculation by grafting and introducing it as an orna mental treeThe rare and beautiful col or of these leaves is not the result of any disease or injury to the tree, as may Te seen by its healthy appearance and thrifty growth Piedmont Press.
