essels of tlie former with one hundred

fight.
Henrt W. Blair aai been nomios
ted by the K-pubVicana of New Hamp
shire, to 11 the aeat in the Senate now
held by Mr Bell, voder the Governor'a
appointment. Mr. Blair is a lawyer,
wai a Colonel of volunteers in the war,
aad a member of the State legislature.
Wk dope the grand juries of this
eouuty will strictly enforce the law
agsintt carrying concealed weapons
which takes effect on July lit. It it a
jood law aud its observance will do
much towards decreasing crimes which
of late have increased to an alarming
degree. .
.' Gkneual SnKUM.VM it writing letters
la the interests of bit brother John,
wbo wants to be nominated by the Re
publicans for the President This is a
bold pair and Grant will bave to work
hard to beat tbeos. We suggest that
Hayes, as commander-in-chief of the
army, order General Sherman to make
sa of the army ia otder to defeat his
brother. .
Akotii br revolution has broken out
In Mexico. The commander of the
army is in revolt, and ba; left the capital
with three thousand men. President
Diaj is in pursuit, anJ we suppose, if
t'ue revoliert are caught they will be
alt)'.. Revolutions are epidemic in
Mexicc, and if one does not break out
every six months the people become
worn out with ennui. It is good for the
liver.
Genkiial Cody has deposed the
President aud seized the government
of Paraguay. We wonder if our
matters here in the States make as
little fuss in the world as general
Geby does. Mr. Hayes seized the
government, net by might aod force of
will far which we might have some re
spect, but in a kind of sneak thieving
saner, more becomiig. a person wbo
hasn't courage enough to become a
highway robber.
Tnnot'Oii the illness of Lord Fevrr
aha nt ia England, the fire insurance
policies on his castle amounting to
$ 200,000, were allowed to expire, and
a few days afterwards his ancestral
borne was destroyed by fire. The in.
surance company hat- announced its in
tention to pay the amount any way,
atatiag that tbey knew his lordship in
tended to renew tbe policies had not
sickness prevented. This is a fine ex
ample for insurance compauies in Amer
ica to follow, and if they would be wil
ling to pay when they ought, their
profits would increase.
It tettaes that (very government in
S mth America is at war, or preparing
for war. An i why it should ba so we
canaot ste. If tbey have beea treated
wrnng by their neighbors they should
submit, like we iu tbe United States.
Pjo'i have war good people, keep your
tempers and if any one wants your gov
ernment, turn it over to him with your
compliment by means of an electoral
commission. There is no use in war at
all now to settle little differences be
tween governments dissatisfied with
each other. Thanks to our government,
we bave discoveced a preventive.

HOW HISTORY IS HADE.
Many know very htlle uf it Noith
though they do know how to d tha
which is called history. Tbe latest i!
luslrntiou of the way history is made in
New 1 ork is somewhat after this fast
ion : The New l'urk Sun relates a scrap
of history in connection with the late
Mr. Seward. It seems that be once
said to the editor: '-The man never
lived to whom I would be Secretary. If
George Washington were alive to-dur, I
would not be Secretary to him. Where
upon the New York Express records the
fact that he did become Secretary of
Slate to Mr. Lincoln. H it, says the
New Toik Espress, "Mr. Seward some
times had a Pickwickian way of talking,
which be employed when be did not
want people to take his wnrds too liter
ally. He was once a schoolmaster in
Georgia, and while in the S tutu he
amassed a great fund of anecd ie. He
could get oft' a world of wise saws and
modern instances about the Crawford,
and Forsyths, and Lowndes, aod Pinck
ney, and Gastons, and other, and a'
ways waxed eloquent and enthusiastic
in sounding their praises. When Wil
liam Itallard Preston became Secretary
of the Navy, Mr. Seward resolved to
make a conquest of the impultivo Vir
ginian, aiid si poureJ fund a volley of
eulogies of Sonthcrn statesmen. As a
cbairucr Mr. Seward was a great suc
cess, lie quite captivated Preston. Mr.
I'illtnore was then the leader of the
Whig party in New York. Mr. Seward
was bis bitter enemy. How to beat
Fillmore and V chs'.er, who were then
the Castor and Pollux of tha Whig
firmament, was a difficulty which Mr.
Seward solved by making a promise to
Mr. Preston to act steadily who the
Admiration and sink his differences
with Mr. Fillmore fur ever, if the Ad
ministration would throw its patronuge
in his (Seward s) favor in the Senatorial
contest then going on in Ibis State. The
President, General Taylor, wanted to
make bis administration the era of pa
cification, and, urged by Seward's pus
lire troupe; and Preston's solicits
lions, the old hero of Bueoa Vista fi
nally consented to lend Mr. Seward a
helping baud. The latter became S;n
ator, when presto I all bis fine promises
were forgotten, and a bitter and relent
less attack both on Fillmore and Web
ster was made by th) Auburn states
man. Fillmore had been promised the
appointment of two of his fi lends to the
pobitions of Postmaster and Collector of
the Customs at Buffalo. But Seward
induced President Taylor to forget his
promise to the Vice-President, aod to
nonvnate instead two of Mr. Seward's
Hncbmen, who were well known ene
mies of Mr; Fillainre, for those offices
Mr. Webster asked for the' appointment
to a small office of his only son, Fletch
er Webster. Mr. Seward again got be-
luad tbe arras, and subjected tbe "Great
Expounder" to a humiliating refusal at
the bands of the Presideut, who ap
pointed a b-'ward man to the place.
These are well-known historical facts,
and they prove that Mr. Seward could
ucy a good many things besides his
prsyers when it suited bis purpose. li s
change of mind about becoming any
body s secretary nt Mate was a very
natural thing for Mr. Seward to do."
Many peoplo remember that Mr.
Seward was supposed to bave control of
President Tajlor s administration ; and
many who so recollect as well as those
who remember neither Taylor nor Saw
ard will doubtless think that the Ex
press has stated tbe matter correctly.
ery few people will take tbe trouble
to ascertain, what ia tbe fact, that Mr.
Seward's vote as a Senator helped to
make Ballard Preston Secretary of the
Navy. Mr. Seward was elected to the
Senate some time before General Tay
lor became President, and took his seat
iu the Senate fur tbe first time and for
a six years' term on the day President
Taylor was inaugurated.
Aad such is history I Raleigh Ob-

BY PARTISAN .II DOKS.
Washington, June 1G. In the Sen
ate to-day Mr. Davis (Dora., W. Va.)
announced that the U xuuuiteo on Ap
propriations was not able, in considera
tion of the present state of business, to
concur in the House resolution fuino
to-morrow for the final adjournment,
but hoped soon to be able to report the
resolution with aa eutly d.ite fixed for
djouriiment.
Mr. Biyard (Hem, Pel) reported
favorably on the House bill to author
ia a compromise of the claim of the
L oiled States under the will of Joseph
Lewis, of II boken.
Mr. Ingalls (lie., Kan.,) at his own
request, was excused from further ser
vice on the Committee on IVivilixjoi
and Elections, and Mr. Logan (R;p.,
III.) was appointed in bis stead.
Tbe Judicial Eipenses bill waa taken
up, the pending question bring on Mr
Allison's (Rep , It.) amendment to ia
crease tbe appropriation for district at
torneys and their assistants from $300,
000 to $300,000.
Mr. Dawes (Rep., Mtss) spoke
against the bill, asserting that it was the
most pernicious measure yet introduced
It would do more than any of the other
bad measures of this Congress to shake
the confidence of all joslice-hmn peo
pie in our judicial system. He showed
the freedom of the j try system of Mas.
sachusetls from political influence", and
prophesied a disastrous cbauce therein
should this bill be passed.
Mr. Hill (Dem, G) siid that if tbe
present law were righteously aduiinis
tered there would be no need of a
ohange. It would be indecent to intro
duce politics into tbe jury system by a
'aw, but they bad already been intro
duced by judges who violated the spirit
of tho existing law. and the pending bill
waa iutended to abate this indecency.
Mr. Conkling (lisp., N. Y.) thought it
would be belter to retain Uc present law,
amending it to remedy the defects
tiumpluLcd of.
Mr. Hill replied that he would not
vote for the bill unless it contained the
proviso that it should not prevent con
formity with Slate practices where such
conformity now existed. It was intended
if possible to lead to a return to the
State system. He believed thousands
of i mocent men had been punished in
the S Mith by reason of the irregularities
he spoke of. He himscIL had several
times admsrd his clients to throw them
selves on the mercy of the coOrt rather
than submit to trial before juries ob
viously packed. Got of the clause "but
nothing here contained snail be can
strucd to prevent any j iJ,;e in a dis
trict from ordering the names of jurors
to be drawu from boxes used by the
State authorities" he moved to strike
the words "in which such is now the
practice" so as to make tbe provision
universal.
Mr. Morgan (D.-m., Ala ) believed a
radical reform was required in the Fed
eral jiry laws. Among other things he
pointed out that there was bo legal
reuiedf against an alleged abuse by a
court officer of the power given him by
a rule rule of the court. Tho judge was
appointed un li.-r well-defi el law, and
the jury should be selected under laws
