From our Itegular correspondent. Washington July 12, 1886. The Republicans in Congress are trying very hard to make political capital against the President on account of his pension vetoes. But the vetoes are too well sup ported by facts and common sense to furnish material for partisan appeals. It was to be expected however, that the pri- vate pension gilt Senators and Representa- fives would grow wrathy athe kind ot. work they were engaged in was brought to ight. The failure ol their little schemes together with their exposure incited them to a reckless pitch of determination to se cure' the adoption of these hills anyhow, though uiere is little prospect ot their sue- cess. The Democratic leaders are resolved to stay here all summer, as one of them said, etorc abandoning their position in the mat ter, nut the ItepulMicans have proposed a compromise which will probably be accep ted, under its terms two hours will be allowed for debate upon such of the vetoed bills as may he selected, aud at t he ex piration of the time an aye and nay vote will 1 taken, the result of which is to be regarded final as to the other vetoes. The report of the Senate Pension Com mittee upon the vetoed bills, was little more than a long and ill -concealed howl of ha filed rage. It even accused the Pn-si- dent of casting a slur upon the chastity ol a woman and of sneering at wounds receiv ed in the service of the country. But so many ot these private measures are obvi ously without merit, and mere attempts to bestow gratuities upon favored person who have no real claim upon the houuty ol the Government, that the President's ac tion will be more applauded as attention is called to the grounds upon which it is based. The Republicans of the House of Repre sentatives made speeches upon this issue that were intended to be very severe upon the President, but they were more plainly bids tor political support than evidence of patriotism. They proceeded upon the as sumption that the vetoes of private pension- bills arc unpopular and wi.l not be sus tained by public sentiment. One auswer made by Representative Matron to some of their complaints was interesting. He call ed attention to the fact that many of the cases rejected by Mr. Cleveland had already been vetoed by a Republican Commission er of Pensions. The rejection by the Sen ate of Goode to be Solicitor-General was the subject of much discussion at the Capitol oa Saturday. The unanimous verdict was that the opposition all center ed iu Senator Mahone. and the vote of the Republican Senators was their way of help ing the thwarted, scheming little politician to assert nunseii in Virginia, as no Democrat opposed the nomination, many Congressmen, think the proper thing for the President to do would be to renomi nate Mr. Goode. He miht have done this. if tbefscnajU had merely neglected to con- hrm, but since the Senate had rejected, he will not lie likely to renominate. The Senators were determined to have Mr. Goode's case all to themselves, tor when it came up they held a strictly Star Chamber Session lasting six hours. The Sergeant at Arms visited the floor on which the galleries, the document and a lar-e number of committee rooms are located, and ordered the employes and visitors to vacate. These rooms were locked and then the correspondents, telegraph operators, and representatives of the Associated Press were d liven out of their portion of the building. Deep and loud complaints were heard on all sides at being so summarily ordered away from their posts of duty, and ranch inconvenience was experienced by the sudden ejectment, but all hud to go. Sentinels were placed at the stairways and doors leading to the galleries which had to lw left Opetl in order to prevent the Senabr f o:n suffocating. The new broom of this Administration is sweeping clean everywhere. The ex penditures of the Government Depaitnients here have been found to be $22,500,000 less during the fiscal year just past than in the one preceding it, and better results may be expected for the fiscal year which has begun. By the persistency of several Democrats in the House of Representatives, the latest attempted salary grab has just been aver ted. I allude to the gratuity to House and Senate employes who are paid liberal salaries ftir easy work on less than half i nue. mm nan iictn aurceu to mve tliem a month's extra pay because they would like to have it, but Representative Reagan ot Texas, Price of is., Hampbill of 8. C, McAdoo of NJ J., Hoi man of Indiana, and others emphasized their disapproval of the theft in such a manner as to defeat it. The scheme would have extorted at least $200,000 from the. taxpayers to be given as a gratuity to men who were already re- ceiving uig salaries. A Singular Bear Tale.' Mr. John Xantz informs us that, last week, Dick Pearsey discovered that a large bear had attacked one of his hogs. He called his dog and started him in pur suit of the bear. The dog soon returned and went tor the hog. A neighbor of Mr. l earsey found the dog devouring the hog and killed him. The hog also soon died. So the dog and hog both lost their lives, while the bear went Scott free. Who Shall be Solicitor? Editor Watchman; In a few more weeks the Judicial Convention of this District will meet to nominate a Judge and Solici tor, and as the Watchman has been very conservative in its views especial iv in re- gard to theSolicitorship,! concluded (would you allow me a small space in your col umns) to sav a few words in regard to the candidates for that position. There is no doubt, biit that Mr. Long of Statesville, would make a good Solicitor, being an honest and able lawyer. But, Mr. Editor, with all due respect to Mr. Long, acknowl edging his compctencv. ami admitting he has no faults, still John W. Mauney, Esq., is the man for that position. Why do we say so f Not because he is a Rowan roan, out because we arc personally acquainted with Mr. Maunev. and know well that he is in every respect capable, upright, and honest as a man, efficient and capable as a lawyer, polite and attentive to his brother lawyers, genial and kind to all. in fact, he is not wanting in any of the requisites which are essential to a bohcitor. And should the Convention which meets in Lexington?"on August 3d, show their good judgment by selecting Mr. Mauney as their nominee for the Solicitorship, they will find ere long, they chose the right man. A man who will fill the position not only with credit to himself, but with houor to . . he hails.

The only objection made to Mr. Maimer's nomination is that he is a Rowan man. and thev sav: "Row- J w mr an has the representative in Congress." Is that, think you, sufficient ground for giving an Iredell, or any other man the nomination in preference to Mr. 1 Mauney. One would hardly think so, t m some o the district K. t j i in the Judicial and Congress- ional district were made up of the same ferritory it might be plausible to object to giving one county two officers, but when this is not the en sc. the objection does not hold.

On last Monday Mr. Clinton Dobsoh. who is hard of hearintr. left town a fobt to so home, near Glen Alpine Station. , He got on the railroad track at Cant. Tate's, 5 miles from town and had walk ed about one-fourth of a mile when the evening train going west came up belaud him. The engineer blew lonir and loud. but Mr. Dobsou, failing to hear, made no effort to get off. The train ran upon him and threw him about 20 feet from the track, killing him instantly. His body was taken on the train and carried to Glen Alpine Station, near where he lived. ; 1 Many of the citizens are reflecting upon the engineer and say that he ought to be responsible for the death of this man. In the absence of full particulars we with hold any comment. Since the above was set in type a corp- ners' inquest was uela ana a verdict ren dered that "Clinton Dobson came to his death from criminal r.elicnce on the part of engineer Moore." Upon the affidavit of the Coroner, Esq. John Tull issued a warrant for Moore, who came un trom baiisnury yesterday even ing and surrendered to Sheriff Lackey. Hon. Charles I rice was employed for the defence. On a hearing before Esq. John Tull the charges were not sustained and Mooire was discharge!. Morganton Vr. A. M. E. Zion Church Cemstcry Caved in.
