BOTDEX. uno. i Ex-Senator Mahone of Virginia is one of the happiest men in the coun- ry. He has succeeded in getling the republican National committee to take a hand in the political muddle in his State, and the result is that Bilk Mahone is more firmly seated' as the republican bore in that State than ever, This result was not however obtained without an effort, how great an effort may be judged from the fact that the sub-committee of the National com mittee, composed of Messrs Quay, Dud ley, Clarkson, Fressendm and Hobait was in continuous session one entire day and night, and afterwards had a long consultation with Mr. Harrison. The onlv thing that .the anti-niahone-ites get as far as can be seen .on the surface is a share in the federal offi ces in the State, and some people here are uncharitable enough to sav that is about all they wanted. At any rate the decisions of the committee in Ma hone's favor was closely followed by the appointment of Col. J. B. Brady to be Collector of iuternal revenue for the second district of that state. Col Brady has been about the bitterest op ponent Mahone had in the state. His salarv will be fc-KUUU a year whicn is n6t to be sneezed at by a man out in the cold.

We have no right to condemn the verdict of the Trustees unless we could show that it was wrong. And while it may be admitted that it was possi ble for the Board to err, the probabili ties are all in support of their decision. They had all the facts in the case before them, and from these made up their verdict. The presump tion is that they ar3 conscientious men and rendered an honest decision. Certainly the contrary should be made to appear before accusing them eith?r of error or corruption. We therefore accept the decision as sustained by th facts in the c;;se. A i l yjt w'.iiL' tYu tn iv b.'$ the co.i -elusion of many who have wa'chtd the progress of the trial, there are also some who unhesitatingly denounce it. Ihey believe Dr.Grissotn is guilty, es pecially on the charge of immorality, and they aa unhesitating demand that he should be removed. The sentiment here, is adverse to the continuance in the Institution of rrv and all who were in anywise connected with this great scandal. It remains with the Trustees to decide what may be done in this direction. The Raleigh News and Observer speaks of the decision of this c;ise as follows: a copy of which hfis been sent to in nnder the name of John T. Caine. The report is fuvorabl on all the mat ters usually considered when a Terri tory applies for. admission as a State. In the case of Utah there was in ob struction found in the religion of the people, or rather in their acceptance and practice of polygamy. The report! shows that Utah is willing to prohibit this crime (sis it is held to be by the laws of this country), and enter the prohibition in the Constitution under which she comes into the Union, and make it unrepeatable except by the sanction of the President of the U. S. Altogether the report is favorable to the admission of Utah, and unless the facts as presented by the committee shall be disprove.!, it is not likely that Utah i will be refused admission a very great while, unless some party or politic-il mo- ive shall be found for holding her in ins associate! themselvew together i " .... kuSl in tne practice, or meuicine, imcr nervfcen to the citizen of Salisbury ami surrounding community.

With the charge of immorality, there have been a division of sentiment. Some have deemed the charge absolutely prov ed; others have thought that the testi mony left the matter largely in doubt; still others have discredited the evidence and have held that the explanations ot Dr. Grissom robbed the testimony of its damaging bearing. The board charged with the responsi sibility of the decision, after a full hear ing acquainted with all the matters, have concluded that the charge of im morality has not been sustained by the evidence.

Not that the people do not believe reform is necessary in our Civil service but because they have found out that there is no reform in the pre sent methods, nor do they believe any reform possible under the law. It would not 03 surprising if an effort was made to repeal the law at the com ing session of Congress. One of the magistrates of Mecklen burg county, Mr. John P. Hunter, came in conflict with a policeman on the streets of Charlotte, hist week, and received a blow from the officer's club, which disabled him from appearing in Court immediately. The trial is set for July 30th ; and from the impor tance given the matter by the Chron icle and the News, the case is likely to draw a large crowd when it comes up for investigation.

" A colony of Italians contemplate starting a vineyard on a large scale near Durham. They will probably attempt to conduct it by the same rules of management learned in the vine yards of Italy. The late Dr. Crone, of Stanly county, a native of France, a man of learning and intelligence, and a grape-grower of considerable repute, told the writer so'me years ago that the European treatment of the vine would not answer for this country. That the vine here would not submit to the limiting restrictions to which they were subjected in Europe, but that with an irresistible tendency to spread and reach out, ibey had to be allowrd more room. However this may be, the learned Doctor held one other opin ion in regard to vine culture here which experience is disproving every day, and that was, that this country can never successfully compete with the vineyards of Europe. This opin ion was predicated on the ravages of an insect in his vineyard which he named the J2gira. It was a serious pest with him, and destroyed many of his vines; but the writer, who has for a unmber of years given attention to grape-growing ou a small scale, and been observant of the success of many other persons, has known of but one vine outside of the Doctor's vineyard which was tit all troubled by the insect named. The grape flourishes in the entire Piedmont section of Virgiuia, North and South Carolina, and Geor gia, so that, on the whole, we think the Italian colony not only has no thing to fear, but much to encourage them tq go ahead with their proposed enterprise. susjwnse.
