Is a traitor to his State and a political
knave. I Or, second, Gov. Jarvis is a fool,
and permit himself, and the State thro
him, to lie defraaded ont of valued rights
and iutliests. If either of these proposi
tions bi true, the Charlotte Obgerref,
whicli does so rimch in the niaking of
Goverulirs and Seuators, ought to be wore

in our opinion, to shield hink from vile

Iu regard to railroad discriminations
against Charlotte,' the Observer, if it ever
reaches the bottom facts involved iu these
railroad questions, will find that it is a
light" between railroads to protect and
promote their owu interests as against each
other. 1 Neither the iuterest of Charlotte
nor any other town is allowed to-govern
the policy, of tho 1 roads in these fights
among themselves. Tlje pafplina Centra
or the Jpbarlotto . an4 Statesville, or any
of theuu will sacrifice what citizens o
Charlotte- may deem their interest the
moment they can do so and make money
by it. The whole study of railroad man
agers s not how they may build up this
- or that town, but l)pw the-, pap manage
their lines so as to make them pay. That
is the simple truth in regard to the West
ern N. b. Kailroad, atld it cau easily be
show'u to bo tho iolicy of them all ; and
this ' being so, it narrows dtiwu to 'this
i simple question j Ayho sli.ill govern the
railroai s iu the matter of schedules and
tariffs, he towns along their Hues or the
officers in charge of the roads T When
the railroads fall out and get' to' cutting
each others throats by reducing rates,
then it is fun ; for-shippers. When they
harmyjiize pn fates ami sche'd tiles mutu
ally profitable to themselves, it falls heav
ier on ijatrons and they cry out, for there
is then mj fun in it for them. It is one of
the evis of the railroad system for which
we'have nSt yet found a remedy.

iu tne counting in of Hayes; that in the
next convention they intend to make their
iutluence felt, aud command from the
nominee what they consider themselves
entitled to. A meeting, or conference, of
leading carpet-baggers was held at Old
Point Comfort the other day .to talk over
the next presidential canvass and decide
uKn; a candidate and policy. I Amoug
those; present were Jorgeuseu, Piatt and
Stowell, of Virginia : Corbin and Cham
berlain, of South Carolina, aud men of
the same character and fame from j other
Southern States. Kellogg, too, was rep
resented, and the conclusiou reached was
that Senator Blaino is the candidate fur
the carjet-bagger8. It was urged that
he, as president, would use all the power
oi ins oniee to restore, the era of gool
stealing for these odorous politicians in
the South. JThe conference was secret,
and of course all the proceedings in detail
cau not be had, but the Post has ascertain
ed the most material ioints. i
i John Sherman and his avowed candi
dacy) were discussed at length, aud it was
decided, with great unanimity,: that he
would not do as a candidate for. the car
pet -niggers. 1 He was owned entirely bv
Wall street and .thef money power had
hot evinced auy affection for carpet-bag
gei s, bo it was said; -It was- agreed that
the carpet-bag crowd-should begin to bur
rah for Hayes and lead him to believe
that he was the ntiifuof their choice. This
policy could be kept up for a few mouths,
and it would result in creating a division
between Hayes and Sherman. . The idea
advauced was to kill off John .Sherman
in tlie interest of Blaine, and the most ef
fective way would lie to inspire the Fraud
witli U belief that he could bo renominated
and thus lead him to antagonize his Se
crerary or tne Treasury. Grant was
talked of, but was discarded in spite of a
few who warmly advocated him. The
argument against him was that, should he
be reelected he would "throw off1' on the
old rowd and endeavor to win the con
fidence of the couutrv ; that he would
feel jit necessary to separate himself from
all the influence that brought reproach
upon his former administration, and this
would leave the carpet-baggers out iu the
cold;.) After icauvassing the whole field,
Blaine was selected as the man most
likely to stand bv the carpet-baggers, and
the conference adjourned after swearing
to stand by him. Wash. Post.
The Two-Thirds Rule.
In the Democratic National Convention
in St. Louis in 1676, Mr. Williams, on
June 28th, offered the following resolu
tion i
Jtcsolved, That this Convention reeqm
mend to all future Democratic couven
Hons not to adopt the two-thirds rule iu
nominating candidates for President and
Vice-President of the United States.
This resolution was over sl-iughed by
a point of order.
The following iTsolation offered by Mr.
Webber, of Michigan, was then read :'
f AXTI TWO-THIRDS KESOLUTIOX.
, Resolved, That it be recommended to
future National Democratic Conventions
as the sense of the Democracy here in
convention assembled that the so-called
two-thirds, rule be abolished as unwise
and nnueceiKsaiy, and that ti e States bj
requested to instruct their delegates to
the Democratic National Convention to
be held in 1830, whether it be desirable
to continue the two-thirds rule longer in
force i in the National Convention, and
that the National Committee insert such
request in their caU for the Convention.
A motion was made by Mr. Burch of
Tennessee to lay the resolution on
the table, and a scaled vote was demand
ed and granted. The result was ayes
359, iioee 379. So the motion to lay on
the table was lost.
Wo now quote :
tTlie President: The gentleman from
Pennsylvania Mr. Wallace demands a
division of the question. The clerk will
read that portion upon which lie calU a
division.
The clerk read as follow :
Mesolvcd, That it be recommended to
future Democratic national convention ns
the sense of the Democracy here in con
vention assembled that the so called two
thirds rule be abolished as unwise and un
necessary. The resolution was adopted.
Tlie secretary read the' second- part, as
follows:
Resolved, Th tfhe States be requested
to iustruct the : delegates to the Demo
cratic National Convention to be held in
1860 whether it be desirable to continue
the two-thirds rule longer in force in
national convention, aud that the Na
tional Committee insert such request iu
the call for the next convention.
The resolution was adopted.
So it will be seen that the last Demo
cratic Natioual Convention on a scaled
vote pronounced against the two-thirds
rule, and that the two resolutions above
quoted were adopted, without a recorded
division.
I Of course, it is for the next Democratic
National Convention to adopt its own
rules; but if the States instruct their
delegates as requested, it will, we hope,
require only n majority to tiominate the
next Democratic candidate for President.
