While in all other counties can didates are announcing themselves for the different county officers, but such is not the case in Rowan.

This is a very unfortunate affair aud while it may end and the . body of Senator Vance be allowed to remain in its first resting place, yet the unfortunate affair has caused a breacii in the family which wU never he healed.

On last Thursday night, the 14th, Mr. Howland, the corres pondent of the New York Press, sent me his card and called to see me at my rooms at the Metropolitan, with a stenographer by the name of Rob inson. Ha asked.me cjuestjons very like those thatjou put to rae now. I mGan the substance of them. He then informed me that the New York Press did not wish to do me or any Senator any injury without giy ing us an opportunity to be heard and he felt it to he his duty to tell me that they had in their possession qr he had, or somebody had, a bank ers scrip I do not fenpw that he called it scrip but I called scrip upon which were recorded the pur chases of different gentlemen or dif ferent persons in buying stocks, and that, upon that scrip, I had been a frequent purchaser of sugar stock in this city during the sugar debate here. I protested to him as positively as a man was capable of doing that it was impossible that it could be so; that 1 never owned one cent of certificate or piece of certificate of sugar stock in my life; that in fact since I had been in the fcenate, i nad never traded in one dollar's worth oE stock of any sort in any way, shape or form. "I insisted upon his seeing the broker. He told me, upon my asking him, that it was Silsby & Company, who had a house near Seventh street, on Pennsylvania avenue, and that these things were certainly true. told him to telegraph to his paper at once that there was no foundation for it; it was without even a shadow. "He asked me he seemed to be in earnest, and doubtless was he asked .me if this could be the work of some malicious enemy of rniue. I to'd him could hardly believe that, but I could notaccount for it to save me how it was possibly. I said: lI would be glad if you would see this broker again before you indulge in any pub? licution of this sort aud find out if this information is not absolutely without foundation, as false as it can he.' "He said lie would do that, and then said: 'Well, general, this is a very clear statement of yours;' or 'Senator, this is a very clear state ment of yours. Do yon know of auy other person by the name of Ransom in the city ? "1 told him I knew of but oue per son in the city by the name of" Ran som e. now, and that was ray son, George, who was my clerk. JJe ask ed me where he was, and I said: 'He is in the parlor now; I left him there, when I got your card, talking with soinejadies. I will step in and bring him here so . that you can examine him in a minute.' I was, perhaps. a more cautious than the occasion re quired, and 1 said: T would thank you to come with me to- the door here so you can see tlr.it nocommu- Hiication takes place between me and my son I went to the parlor door, where my son George was, and beck oned him to come in. I did not speak to him qr see him between the parlor and" my room and wLn he got in . my room I asked.the gentlemen to state their business to him and told ray son whatever the matter was to tell the truth about it, 'He then stated to those persons in my presence that he had bought some sugar stock on the 17th or 18th of April. He put up a margin of $10, which he paid the broker on sugar stock. He said that on the same day he put up a margin of 25 6u cotton. He said he lost the mon ey on the cotton ?nd made 10 on the sugar. That afterwards, he re peated the bet on sugar, not on cot ton; and I thjqk he lost the second time. He then stated that he and Captain Barnes, a messenger here at the commerce committee room Sen ator Ransom's committee after that on two occasions, bought SlO worth of sugar stock apiece-; they went in together, and I askef this correspon dent to examine ray son fully as much as he pleased and to. see Captain Barnes and examine him too. , "About two weeks ago Captain Barnes came to rae at my room in the committee on commerce. He is messenger of the committee, a Nojrth 1 some time, apd he told me he bad something to tell rne an4 it was rough; that a particular friend of his had told him that they had a paper pn which my name was down for so much sqgar stock and that J was deeply in it I told hiin Jiow falsjj it was. absolutely false, and asrfed him to go to hi? friend and tell hiiin the same thing,' and to insist ' upon his inquiring into it and let me know in what shape and form it was, what it meant, and how it was. The next day he came to me and tpld me his friend bad looked into it and thought there was pothing in it, and I told him he must look into jt thoroughly to see aud know that there was noth ing in it; that I could not live if there was anything of that sqrt in any body's breast about me, and he must go and see. He returned the next morning and told me his friend said it was all "U- myth, all nothiug, and not to give : myself any concern about it; that he was very njuch gratified to know who t was.' -'This correspondent asked me the name of that person and I told him it was given to me in confidence and I had uo right to give the name without Capt. Barne's consent, but I have no objection to giyin the name to the committee. I have seen Mr. Rowland about it. ' I just this miu- ute sent for him and told him that I should ask the committee to summon him to give the account of hi3 in terview with me to you. 1 may not have stated correctly as tq details of this purchase by my son. I asked him yesterday morning to go to the broker shop and get a paper to show the exact transaction and to be ready to come before the committoe." The Chairman "Had you any knowledge whatever iintjtthis inter view with Mr. Howland, on the evening you speak of, of the bts of your son with the broker in sugar and cotton ?" Senator Ransom "I never dream ed of such a thing. I never thought of it, I would not have believed it. The truth of it is 1 went to my son with a great deal of confidence, when this corresp ondent wauteid to see him. A paper shows that when he bdught the firststock I was out of the citv. The 18th of April was when we were at Governor Vance's funeral at Ashc yille, I may state to the committee that 1 have no 'iuterest whatever and never have had in any stock or trade or anything else in any way since J have been in the Senate," Talc Tip Your Town. Exchange. If you live in a town you should believe in it. If you don't believe your own town or city is a little bet ter in most respects than any of its neighbors you should- move out. Like other places it has advantages that others have not and your mod esty should not prevent you from makingthat fact known whenever the opportunity presents itself. At home or abroad, whether pursuing pleasure or engaged in business, do not neglect to give those with whom yon come in coutact to understand that you liyeju a liye town, popula ted by enterprising, go-ahead, peo ple and one that is advancing, in stead of retrograding. If you can truthfully speak in commendation" of the ability of your professional men, the square dealing methods of your merchants, the superiority of your churches, schools and public institutions and the industry, energy and sobriety, of yoqr citizens generals ly, "let nothing prevent you from ex ercising that privilege, You should learn to believe, if yuu do not al ready, that we have ail these and in addition the handsomest women, the best located town the finest couutry surrounding it; with the most fertile farms, tilled hy the most intelligent class of farmers to be found in the United States. If there are any drawbacks, it will not be necessary to mention them. The people and newspapers of com peting towns will relieve you of that task by attending to that part of it themselves. Strangers seeking a location are always greatly influenc ed in ,f a vpr of any place whose citi zens are enthusiastic in its praise No city .or town can expect to at tain prominence over its.riyals unless its inhabitants appreciate the excel lence and virtues of each other and will collectively spread abroad their faith in the present prosperity aud - . . future greatness of theif own locali ty.

"We have heard that Chairman Simmons put aside $5,000 of this fund, and kept it until after the elec tion, to be used to defend in the courts any registrar or polh-holder who should get indicted for carry ing out his infamous plaus." Chairman simmons did have a cam paign fund, but it was a small one and at the end of the campaign, he had not a cent of it. It is all right for Chairman But- ler to issue circulars to his partisans asking for a campaign fund but he ought, not to base such appeals either on exaggerated and fa'se statements or on slanders, affepting the good re pute of others. Recalling Mr. Butler's gyrations oyer secret circulars, we had suppos ed that his aversion to them was so great that he would hardly go .into them himself, but he seems to be an adept iq the business. N.-O.-Chron icle. The best way to settle the U. S, States Senator business jn thU State . ........ : . i isat tneUallQt box, and a plan has been suggested and seems to meet with popular approval. On this line we copy the following: from the r Raleigh News-Observer-Chronicle; "I would suggest that in case one I .1.1 ii et i t it is neia in ims otaie ior an expres sion of the cboice of the Democra tic people for United States senators that it be held on the same day, and l ii i I . t at toe same polling places as the re gular election next Novemder for members of the legislature, and that for whomsoever the greatest number of Democrats in each State senator? ial or representative district cast their votes, the senator or representa tive elected from that district, in case he should be a Pemocrat, to be considered as instructed to vote for that person for United State3 senator m the party caucus as long as his name might be before it, and when ever bis name ceasas to be before it then to vote for the person receiving the next highest vote in their respec tive districts. The great advantage to be derived from holding the pri mary on the same day as the regular election is that it would keep active ly at work clean up to and -on the day of election, all the aspirants for each of the United States senator- ships, and also all of their friends the purpose of trying to carry as many districts as possible for first choice, and where it might be found impossible to carry any particular district in that waj for any particu lar man then at learst try and carry it for him as second choice. All of this rivalry among the aspirants and their frienes would be sure to re "suit in the bringing out of a large Deoio cratic vote, and thus greatly aid for the election of the party nominees for the legislaturel whilst at the same time each legislature nominee would tell the people of his district that, if elected, he would yote in the caucus for whosoever they might express as being their choice for Un ited S tates senators, and thus relieve them!ves of all etnbarassment on that score." - - Some people are constantly trou bled with pimples and boils, especiaU ly about the face and neck.
