Geu. Henderson did not charge that the

for popular coLS'deration. Babcock

is the man to whom McDonald sent his
jubilant telegram from Washington af
t r he hud taken the "ride" with the
President, which is becoming as fa-
raous as the "ride" of Sheridan. Bab
cock and Joyce are indicted for a con
spiracy with the felon McDonald; (who
rode with the President, and whose
transfer to Philadelphia, the President
overruled ) and with some half dozen
distillers, to defraud the revenue. Tbe
conspiracy is alleged to have resulted
in the removal of one million gallons
of distilled spirits, from the distil
leries iu St. Louis, without paying the
tax of To cents on each gallon, amount

The Legislature of Virginia has re
elected the Hon. John W. Johnston to
the United States Senate. We know
not, of couiee, what local or national
influences have brought this selection
about. Wa do know that Senator
Johnston has not taken high rank dur
ing his present term of service, nor
does "Virginia hold the position in the j
National Councils in keeping with her
historic renown, or with the great abil
ity of her public men. At home, with
the exception possibly of Georgia, the
management of her internal affairs, in
thJ trying ordeal through which the
Southern States have passed since the
war, has shown more ability and judg
ment, than any of her sister States.
She has avoided, by the display of a
vejy high order of statesmanship.
many of the rocks upon which other
States have been wrecked.
We surely have no pergonal or po
litical objection to the Senator elect.
He i doubtless a gentleman of char
acter and ability," but Virginia owes it
to herself and to her Southern sisters
to occupy in the highest legislative
body ot the oountry, something more
than a commonplace position.

este that exSp-;aker Blaine had fair!y

infamous Bishop Havens at the head,

oountry at large.
Aud now what next ?
Those who know the etnbborn
uatnre of President Grant, and his
insatiate ambition say he will not
surrender.
H re then is a good opening for a
lively quarrel between Grant and the
other aspirants of his party, and no
one can tell the end.
The vote in the House, as small as it
is against the resolution, shows that
Grant can depend upon the Southern
Republican vote. These can and will
be manipulated by the Fedeial office
holders. Every Southern State oan
be counted upon solidly for him. As
determined as the leaders e?ern to in,
to get rid of him, they will find that
like Banquo's ghost, he will not

his support to 258 votes, out of the
368 necessary to a choice. New York

influence of ilfty thousand office hol
ders, working for their bread and but

evident that the odds are greatly n

fashionable people, all aglow with rich

and tho confusion of white arms and

The bride waa dressed in white corded

elegantly trimmed with deep point ai

Among the best features of the very
excellent Constitution of the Confed
erate States was that which fixed the
Presidential term at nix years and ren
dered the President ineligible foi an
other term. The evil of a second,
and esptcial'y a third term are so
glarirg as to be known of all men. This
has been a potent son roe of evil almost
sinoa the foundation of tho govern
ment. Tbe administration of Presi
dent Grant illustrates these evils :nd
possible dauger- more than th -t of
any of his predecessors. President
Grant haa done little else besides re
ceiving pretenta and adjusting mat
ters for ti second, and now for a third
term, tfis app.-intmmts to office, his
approvals and vetoes of bills, his entire
domestic and foreign policy, arc di
rected to this view only. Fidelity to
himself aiid his politic d fortnnes is the
oniy demand made of office holders.
The whrJe putronago of the govern
ment is prost.ifnted to organ ze an ar
my of faithful aiid subservijt hench-
m-n, whe are not only permitted to
neglect, their duties, but to pillage and
defraud the government, so Jong as
they aro true and ztalous in their ef
forts to re elect their ohief. Whiskey
riu23. tobaooo rings, and every other
scheme for defrauding the revenues,
are let alone, aid even protected, be
cause they are organizations formed
for the avowed purpose f re-nomi
nating Grant. Indeed every office
holder, from the highet to the lowest.
retains his position, without regard to
his merits or demerits, npou his faith
fulness to this overshadowing principle
of the present Federal administration,
The Constitutional Ameudmen t pro
posed by Mr. Randall to make the
Presidential term a single oue and to
extend it to six years, will therefore be
accepted by the more conservative
people of the oountry with great f avon
.Never was a change more
opportunely proposed, but we fear
at no time is there so little prospect
for its adoptiou. The President's
political retainers, in aud u! of Con
gress, will endeavor and will likely
succeed in defeating any such wise
scheme of reformation. The 'flsh
pots" of a corrupt and lavish odminia
tion are too savory to the hungry cor
morants to surrender without a des
perate struggle.
Notwithstanding the difficulties in
the way it is the duty of Mr. Randall
and those who agree with him to urge
his amendment with all their ability
and energy. The interests involved
are too serious and too vitd to be
long neglected or forgotten or be
trayed by time servers and place hun
ters. Tho very corruptions, which
efforts to fcecure a third term are tow
ft-ntring, iiul whisb aro gi iiviiiKlly
beiug brought to light render this a
moat favorable time tor the introduc
tion and discussion ot this very refor

will prepare the country for fctute

A Paris dispatch, dated December
11, says: " There is a rumor that the
Duo D'Aumale, the fourth sou ot
Louis Phillippe, and whosu wife, the
daughter of Leopold, of Salerno, died
in 1869, is to marry again, and this
time no less a perron ago than the
Princess Tbyra, the daughter of the
Kiig of Denmark, tLe sister of the
Princess of Wales, and the wife of the
coming Czr. This rumor natuni'ly
creates a good deal of politic il as well
a social oomment. for in case a mar
riage is consummated, it ia believed
that it will augur a Russian support of
Orleanism, and an alliance in the
future of the coming Czar witu France
against Germany."
Such little on di'a and brief para
graphs relating to the social relations
and alliances of the crowned heads of
Europe, are read with a passing inter
est only, and yet they may be fraught
with peril aud war and revo'.iion to
million-.
Think of France and the Czar mar
shelling their forces to attack Germany
merely ou acorunt of the marriage of
the young people, or another Frenoh
revelation in favor of the son of a
Monarch "who was deposed, and fled

Last winter, says the Washington
ton correspondent of the Baltimore
Sttn, several efforts were made by
Senator Davis to pass through the
Senate bis resolution calling for names
of defaulters to the government and
the amount owed by them in tho last
ten years. It is understood that tbe
internal revenue defalcations alone
foot up in this period something more
than twenty million dollars, while the
losses to the government by defalca
tion i of military paymasters and oth
ers also run up into the millions. It
seems that few if any stitements in
reference to theae defalcations have
been published in the iat ten yearp,
although up to 1862 the law positively
r quired it, and it is believed still
does so. The resolution was smoth
j
V
ered by the Rapublusan majority last
year. On Saturday Mr. Davis again

leading Republieans in this city who
had signed a petition to th. Governor
to arm this Company, visited him at

What does all thi.i mea ? Is there
to be a military preparation for tho
campaign of 1876? Are the whiten io
be denied arm, aud are scores of ne
gro companies to be furnished there
with? There aro now u-nry or quite
as many negro military c inpai lea ia

throughout the limits of North Caro
lina, a:d Governor Brogden must i.are
knowu this fact when h professed to
refuse giving a battery to the Cape
Fear Aitiilery of ihis eity upon the
ground of a desire to distribute arms
equally between the races.
We believe we hve jnst eau3e of
complaint. We hope wo shall hive no
other and no more serious trouble
about this matter, aud th-tt there is no
other purpose on the part of tbe Govern
or in thus arming his negro partisans
than to securo their support for a re- j
nomination, and thnt they have no j
other purpose than to gratify the well
known Ethiopian love for display an t
imitation. Yet the white people of
this sectiou will no' hold Governor
Brogden blameless if harm should
come of the matter.
