' l I - C7 Z-A -.asuvjr IS ) gton,n. a.- Morning, Jan. 31, 1875. R ft A BIOGRAPHY IN BRIEF. Andrew Johnson, seventeenth ' President of the United States, was born at Raleigh, N. C, December 29, 1808, and from the age of ten until the autumn of 1824 was the appren tice of a tailor in Raleigh. In 1826 y he settled in Greenville, Tennessee, and worked at his trade. He was 1 elected Alderman in 1828, 1829 and 1830, Mayor in 1831, 1832 and 1833, member of . the Legislature in 1835 and 1839, and Presidential Elector in 1 840. He was elected to the State Senate in 1841, and sat in Congress from 1843 to 18.54. From 1853 to 1857 he was Governor of Tennessee, and United States Senator fram 1857 to 1863. ; He was nominated, for Vice President by the Baltimore Conven tion in 1864, and on the assassination of President Lincoln succeeded him in the Presidential chair.. In 1872 he was defeated as a candidate for Con-gressman-at-large, having been pre viously defeated as a Senatorial can didate by Mr. Cooper. After a fierce and prolonged fight, he becomes in 1875 the successor of Parson Brown low in the United States Senate. Who has lived such a life? . PROVISION FOR GIN. GRANT. , " A Boston Merchant" suggests, through the New York. Tribune, that General Grant probably regrets the resignation of his military position, and would gladly return to it. To meet the President's wishes, and at the same time restore peace and pros- perity to the country, the writer pro i Tjoses that President Grant shall at once resign the Presidency, with the understanding" that Congress shall create the office of Field-Marsha with a large salary for life, and Mr. Vice-President Wilson shall appoint General Grant to that position. The only provision Grant desires the country to make for him is to give him a third term as President, which it most assuredly will not do. . BUTLER QUOTES TENNYSON. During the. debate the past week on the Civil Rights bill Mr. Benjamin F. Butler amused the House of Repre sentatives by soaring into poetical regions. He tried to recite a passage from Tennyson and rendered it thus: Oh, God, for a man with head and heart and hand ' . ; . Like one of the strong ones long gone by; Aristocrat, Democrat, Autocrat what ever they call him, what care I? One who can rule, and dare not lie. He ought to have given the House oue of his Biblical quotations and sat down. Butler is a beast in war and politics and has a beastly bad habit of getting his quotations wrong. CONVENTION. f One of the leading Conservative members of the Legislature writes us: "The sentiment against Conven tion is stronger, than it was before the meeting of the Executive Committee. The movement is, 1 in my opinion, weaker than ever." We have other information of a similar character, which leads us to the conclusion that there is no prob ability that the present Legislature will call a Convention. Having survived "the late unpleasant ness" and all its woes; and having also lived through the period of Reconstruction, the women of the South, it is presumed, can stand without wincing the following spiteful effusion of a Chicago Republican paper: "The whole population of New Orleans, in fact, in the ecstacy of its ha tred, which is barren of any definite result, ' vents its spleen as children doby making fane?, turning up their noses and calling names; and, as the female sex at the South . is specially accomplished in this direction, having had some experience during the War of the Rebellion with Gen. Bu(ler,and during the war of 1812 with Gen. Jackson, both of whom were exposed to the same sort of pbloquy, the , women devote their spare time to this elevating and womanly business." ' The mention of Beast Butler in this connection was peculiarly unfortu nate, even for a Republican "Organ. His shameless military orders concerning the ladies of New Orleans, while he was com- mander there, reflect upon him and his superiors nothing but infamy," to vf hich his other brutalities and his numerous ' roguer ies are white as the stainless snow. The flippant reference to those matters exhibits ' a debauched heart or a wandering intellect. We are a zealous friend of the Philadel 5 phia Centennial. But we will " take ours with sugar") something like the following brand. The Baltimore Sun thinks " it might add some eclat to the occasion, and insure its being a National festival, if - the government of the United States would so far assist the celebration of the Centennial of American Independence as to put into practical operation in all parts of the coun try the principles which it is intended to St commemorate." ". V ' "... The gorgeous and energetic - sovereign of Egypt is as gallant, it wOuld appear, .as he is liberal and progressives. He has present ed Mrs. Fitch, daughter pf Gen. Sherman, with a magnificent neckface and ear-drops, whose "estimated value is $300,000. ! This was done in recognition of the General's services in advising him how to reorganize and equip his army during a visit in 1873. The followingis a description t "The neck lace is formed of a double row of solitaire diamonds, consisting of about two hundred stones of exceptional besjuty and brilliancy, and pendant from the lower row are; pear shaped stones of great size and rarity, j The larger brilliants will weigh from eight to fourteen carats, and all -are set in the French fashion, a la Glutted1 JSau, and daz zle the eyes like sunshinp filtered through cut crystals. The earrings are composed of a number of the larger sized diamonds, arranged to match the necklace. Both! are contained in a superb jewel case of velvet, J : , !

It is stated that the Western Union Tele graph Company is considering the question of placing the wires ' of j (heir; lines under ground in all the large cities, thus dispensing with the unseemly poles' tbat disfigure Icity thoroughfares. Besides;the alleged greater cheapness of the system and more ; infre quent repairs required, & is believed hat it will be less liable to interruption by theele ments and defective insulation than at pres ent. The Underground system prevails ex tensively ia England, em racing about three thousand miles of wire and one hundred miles of iron piping. T ife wires of the first telegraph line from Washington to 'Balti more, which was the -first in the world, 4ere laid in pipes under grou id, and worked as well as the lines on poles ; now do, but were taken up to test the la' tier. So we lern from the Baltimore Sun. ' j The cost of con ducting wire for underground lines, cover ed with guttapeicha, ta;)ejcl and tarre4 is $85 per mile. The total iost per mile ffor sixty underground wiregjs $7,130, or attout $119 per mile of wire. The underground system in England gives comparatively lijttle trouble.

In view of the delicate relations of the Southern States toward the Gov ernment and the hostile purposes; of the President and his adherents in Congress-r-in view of the divisions existing among Democrats on the subject and the; danger of apathy and divisions at the: election, and in con sideration of the terrible consequen ces of a political ; disaster in North Carolina in the; present juncture! of our national affairs, when victory: is almost within our grasp, we hope the wise counsels of j our delegation in Congress in Congress will be fol lowed, and, with all respect for the opinions of the Executive Commit tee, we trust ;the .Legislature will take no step that can ; possibly re" citate Radicalism or that will f ui $ fresh fuel for Radical falsehoodsod Radical usurpation. The only hope j for permanent peace in the South is in the j returning sense of justice, which is springing up everywhere in the North, and let North Carolina do nothing that will tend in the remotest degree to defer the day when the defeat of Radical ism will be complete, and the deliver ance of the South from the grasp of tyranny shall be vouchsafed hence forth and forever.; ' ! f j L Wilson Plain Dealer. j We do not denv the right of the Executive Conimittee,v collectively, or of its numbers individually to the expression or an opinion, but we deny that it is binding in any degree upon others, on the igrounds of party or otherwise. When the Legislature decides this matter we will not deny its authority, and we have alluded to the subject ncw principally for the purpose of expressing our dissent from the assumption, expressed; or implied, that the Executive Commit tee of our party has any show of right or authority for expecting, if it is ex pected, to silence opposition on the party of the Legislature or the press or any body, as a member of the par ty,1 to' whatever action it may take. There is a matter of liberty involved in the point that we make which we are not willing to surrender, and any claim of a different character will not bear the test of a thorough examina- tion. it any pt our inends nave been inclined to take a different view of the matter! from: that here ex pressed, we believe that upon furth er, consideratioo rthev .. must agree with us. L i Rocky Mount Mail. iWe hope that no Convention will be called. We think the time and the occasiou are not auspicious for such a call. We are more than ever opposed to it. j " But suppose a majority of the Con servative party in the State should favor a call at this time, there will be a large minority who will oppose it even after the call is made." Unless we go into tne canvass witn a united front we will be defeated, and badly defeated at that. ! i Our people vant peace and' cessa tion from political strife. They do not want a wrangle on the Conven tion question,!? If the Legislature shall in defiance of the wishes of a re spectable minority, determine to force Convention down their throats, there will be many found who will oppose every candidate for delegate in favor of a Convention, and there will be many others wbo (will not go to the polls to vote, j t We have taken some trouble to sound the public pulse, and we know that : in this section it beats against the Convention movement. Statistics of jpisare and Tobacco. From the -advance sheets of the yearly official jrepbrt of the tobacco trade the following statistics are gathered. The report is for the fiscal year e'nding June 30, 1874: There was exported from the United States, jof native leaf tobacco, 318,097,804 pounds, amounting in value to $30,399,181. During the same time there was imported into the United States, and entered for con sumption, 9,23,860 pounds of leaf tobacco, tor use in ine manufacture of cigars, and 85,690 pounds of stem med, or prepared tobacco, amounting together m value to $5,332,548 41. During tne same time mere were im ported into the United States, and entered for consumption, 845,774 p3ld8 of cigars, or, at an average of elven pounds to a thousand, 76,888,- 000 cigars, amounting in value to $3, 030,628 79. There were manufac tured in- the United Stales, of foreign and -domestic- tobacco, and tax paid, 1,780,961,000 cigars. Allowing thirty pounds of tobacco for every 1,000 cigars manufactured, there was used 53,428,830 pounds of ; foreign and do mestic leaf tobacco in the mannfac ture of cigars in The comparison the United Stales. snows tnere? were twenty-three domestic cigars mann factured in the United States, and the tax thereon paid, for every cigar that was imported and paid duly during the same time. A closer scrutiny reveals jlhe astounding fact that the average number of eigars smoked in the United States during 'each twenty-foprihours is. 5,168,000. The total amount of import duties on tobacco paid in gold I was $6,150,060 41; total amount of taxes paid in currency $33,242,875 62; grand total $39,392,936 03j . ; Forney was "reluctant" to under take the advocacy of the Pacific Mail steamship subsidy, but was induced to consent to do so, for a small con sideration of $25,000. That over came his "reluctance" entirely. For ney reminds us, says j the Index-Ap-peal, of the sultana in Don Juan : "She paused for one chaste moment; then she - threw M l . Herself upon - his breast and there she . grew." : Send for Tnese Witnesses. . . St. Paul Dispatch. When Bill King was first developed Mr. F. W. Palmer, the chief proprie tor of the Inter Ocean, sent a tele gram simultaneously to the St. Paul Press, Pioneer and Minneapolis Tri bune, setting forth the f'pool" stock speculating theory. It happens fur ther that Mr. F. W. Palmer, the pro prietor of the Inter- Ocean, was a member of Congress from Iowa when the Pacific Mail subsidy passed. The bill went to a conference committee, and the chairman of the committee on the part of the House was F. W. Palmer, while the Senate chairman was our own Bill Windom. A great many people in Minnesota who knew Bill Windom believe that he received a slice of Bill KingV$U5,000, and it might not be a bad plpn for the com mittee to inquire whether Mr. Pal mer's zeal in seuding exculpating tel egrams was because his services were valuable as chairman of the confer- enCe committee.

Spanish Cleric Scandal, Spain's ecclesiastical scandal is a distressing one. 1 Bishop!
