He is actuated, no doubt, by the fact
that Garfield owes his election to Conk-
ling aud Grant, who claim to have held
liim up in New" York and saved him and
the party from a terrible defeat. It is
thought that Gen. Grant's influence may
yet save Conkling by returning -JunTto
the U. S. Senate, and this, or something
else, does seem to have affected the spirit
of the opposition which manifested itself
against the Senator a fewlays ago. The

should they refuse to obey his will j and
-on the other hand he has held up before
them a promise of reward ia the distri

alike indecent and pernicious." In so far
as this is true it gives strength to a re
action of public sentiment for the re-election
of Conkling. We would have no
hesitation, however, in deciding for our
selves if we had a vote on the question,

Cor. of tae News & Observer.
Wadesboko, May 20lli, 1S31.
My first duty is to remind you that to-'
day ia the anniversary of an event in the
history of North Carolina that mast be
forever interesting to tho friend of liber
tv and free government, wherever he
may be npou the face of the earth, and es
pecially interesting and dear to every
true-hearted North Carolinian. This day
one hundred and six yearaago the men
of Mecklenburg declared that they were
arid ought to be free and independent of
the English crown, and proclaimed the
grand principles of the declaration of in
dependence as the ground-work of their
action. Let ns ever keep fresh in our
memories their noble deeds, and let ns
and our posterity strive to prove our
selves as worthy deceudauts of so noble
an ancestry. Judge Menimou, after some
complimentary remarks to the people of
Anson, then said that he came before
them, by invitation, to discuss the wis
dom aud expediency of prohibiting, by
statute, the manufacture aud sale of spir
ituous and malt liquors. Ho spoke of
the importance of the subject ; said that
it was not simply a temperance question
that temperance wa3 only one incident
to prohibition, as was also every other
matter of sound morality. It embraced
as well the public economy of the State,
aud was interesting to the peoplo from
every standpoint of citizenship. His pur
pose was to discuss it frankly and fairly
aud iu. a just spirit giving offense to no
oue. He then adverted to the history of
the present prohibition movement as
most extiaordimuylu its character: it had
not been prompted by politicians or pub-j
lie men, but seemed to be a spontaneous
inovemeut of the people like other simi
lar movements in most of the southern
Stales, lie then discussed the action of
the Legislature on the subject, aud point
ed out the legal bearings of the prohibi
tion act. lie said the act itself was not
submitted to the people for their appro
val or disapproval, but that the penal pro
visions were to be operative only ia case
a majority of the votes should be in favor
of prohibition; that the people will not vote
approved or disapproved, bat they will
votefor prohibition or against prohibition.
The manifest purpose of the Legislature
is to take the sense of the peoplo as to
whether they are in favor of the manu
facture and sale of spirituous liquors ex
cept for medicinal nud'othcr certain pur
poses so that the act is not before the peo
ple, aud it is idle to stop to discuss its de
tails. He then pointed out strongly and
forcibly the power of the government over
its subjects, and made it plain to all that
the government had the power to prohi
bit the manufacture and sale of spirits, if
this were a public evil, so as to make it
a nuisance to society in any point of view.
He said that the question was therefore
one of expediency, and proceeded to dis
cuss the evil effects of intoxicating li
quors, pointing ont the effect on individu
The Washington Chronicle -thinks that
whiskey and late hours have more to do
with some people's bad health in that
city than . the "malaria so often com

"Malaria is a fashionable complaint just
now. It answers all symptoms of the
old time! fever and ague with a sew series
of new-fangled notions which fortunately
yield to speedy treatment. It never kills
anybody but Congressmen. iPretty soon
its inroads will break up the deliberations
of that august body in the capitol, and
every mother's on of them will hasten
home to breathe his native air."
If the malaria or something else would
keep Congress from meeting again fer the

its peace and prosperity particularly.

views, ho pressed with many striking il
lustrations and arguments, which von
could plainly see went home to his audi
eucc with telling effect; he combated-ob- j

less and puerile ; ho proved by statisti

ture of spirits in North Carolina scarcely
amounted to the dignity of au industry,
and that by far the greater quantity ol
spirits consumed here was brought from
other States; -that we sent vast sums of
money out of the State to bring in spirits
which debased and debauched our peo
ple, doing them no good but much harm ;
he showed how the consumption of spirits
as a beverage was an absolute destruc
tion of capital to the man w ho drank it
as well as to the community at largo, and
that whisky did not afford food or rai

The Degradation of th$ Snpreine
. Court.
The Philadelphia Times Reports the
confirmation of Stanly Matthews as anoth
er evidence of the degradation of the
Supreme Court. Iu one of its leadiug edi
torials, after briefly alluding to somoof
the distinguish men who in times past
have set upon the Bench, by iway of con
trast concludes thus :
"In a little more than ten years this
has changed. A lare number of people
and they are those who come most in
contact with the court not only ques
tion its ability but its iuteiirity. It is a
terrible thing fur English-speaking peo
ple to lose faith in the administration of
justice for the well-beiuy and safety of
our social system hangs on the belief of
the peoplo iu the purity of the bench. It
must be borne iu mind that 'tis essential
not only that our judges shall be pure,
bat that those who go before them have
faith in their purity. Tho ; decisions of
the courts must be respected ot the ends
of ju-tice fail of accomplishment.
Iu 1870. President Grant appointed to
the Supreme Bench Messrs. Strom: and
Bradley. It is au open secret that these
1 .1 a t..
men were placed on the bench to ueeiue
the constitutionality of the ; legal-tender
law. The court "was packed in the inter
est of the government and against private
suitors. The old traditions of the bench
were overthrown. In one case at least
parties did not stand on an pqtial footing
before the Supreme Court. (The shock was
a great oue.) It was the first step in the
degredation of the judiciary. Its purity
was soiled. The influence of the execu
tive was resorted to to defeat justice,
tor ltislice is ueienteu whenever it is
bought, even when it is bought by the
partyv who is in the right. From that
day to this the Supreme Court bus come
more and more to be a by-word and a
reproach. It has come to be realized that
the court seeks the accomplishment of
other ends than the ends of justice. De
cisions are made to compass the objects
desired by those who have influence with
the judges. The descent has been an
easy ; one sines t lie first fatal step was
taken. More recently the influence of
politics has been felt and the constitution
lias been distorted to uiake.it agree v. ith
congiesional legislation. Money influen
ces have crept in and decisions aflecting
the stock market have, strangely enough,
been known by favored persons iu Wall
street before they were delivered.

Mt no Split Senator Conkling Plans
From our Regular Correspondent.
WA3HrxGTOX, May 21st, 1831.
Democrats'are just now in j& state of
joy bordering on ecstacy over tire so
called split iu the Republican party, but,
while Republicans hero deplore; tho ap
parently hopeless differences that have
recently culmiuated In the individual es
trangement of distinguished party lead
ers,! they 6ee nothing in the situation to
menace the integrity of the party itself.
The Conkling-Platt resignation is al
luded toin conversation only incidentally
to-itay. Everybody seems to think that
neither of them will be returned by the
New York Legislature. A personal and
intimate friend of Ex-Senator I Conkling
said, last night, that Mr. Conkljng would
uot'allow his name to go before the Leg
islature under any circumstances. He
sah that Conkling has fully determined
to retire to private life, aud pursae his
profession. "Conkling is." this gentle
man said, "a poor man, and the salary of
senator is not sufficient to meet his exf
peiises. He has long con te mpjated quit-;
tiug public life, and has had several
splendid offers iu his profession. Intact,
he consented very reluctantly to his name
being used the last time he wa$ elected ;
but he was importuned so strongly by
personal friends, to whom he was under
obligations for past favors iu a political
way, that he was forced to accept the
nomination, though greatly contrary to
his inclination. Why, at the time he was
elected, he actually said that he would
resigu tho eeat before the close ot his
term."
Mr. Konkling is still in the ; city mak-
ln; preparations to leave asningrou
perhianently in a dav or two. He is sur
rounded the entire day with personal
friends and admirers, with whom he con
verkes freely, and seems iu the beat of
spirits, lie does not appear ;at all con
cerned about the turn affairs have taken,
i i
Thty say he is really glad to' get, away
fro in tiie annoyances and profitless labor
of political life, and does not wish to and
will decline to be returned. S.

liitionisls have answered tle CzavV nuiiii
fOsto by a second utterance, dwelling ou
the wretchedness of the peasants, depor
tations to Siberia, gaging of free speech
and public journals, and declaring that
false counsellors are in possession of the
Czar's ear. Tho document concludes as
follows: "Let your majesty assemble
your ireoide around von and listen to
their wishes in au unprejudiced spirit,
and then neither your majesty nor the
State will have any reason to apprehend
further catastrope."
KICE: A Cheap and Excellent Diet.
-When the excellence of liice as a diet
is fully understood its use will be more
frequent and of daily occurrence in every
household. At this season of the year
especially, it may properly be classed as
superior to any of the cereals which are
iu such general use for the morniug aud
midday meals. No other food is so easy
of digestion, and at its present cost it is
quite as economical as potatoes, oat-mcal
or grain grits of any kind.
i Food for the Braiu audi Nerves that
will invigorate the body without intoxi
cating is what we need in these days-of
rush and worry. Parker's Ginger Tonic
restores the vital energies soothes the
nerves and brings good health quicker
than anything yon can nse.i Tribune. See
