ornmg tar. Kjr W1LLI UI 18. BKIWAUD, WILMINGTON N. C: Fkioa Morning, Feb. 2, 1877. HONEST IMMIGRANTS COH DI1LLT INVITED. The Springfield Republican does not like the invitation of the Char lotte Observer to immigrants. The Observer spoke of "honest immi grant8,'Vand expressed some repug nance to "visionaries and impracti- cables." The Republican says: "Our people are not going where they can't he as good as anybody, and have a fair show in politics; and the people who have lands to sell and newspapers to circu late down South might as well understand this point at the beginning of the new po litical era." All this is quite stupid in the He publican. Are all the people of the North "as good as" every body eke ? Are there no class distinctions in Boston and Springfield ? Do Mr. Longfellow and Charles Francis Adams eat at the same table with their servants, or do the bootblacks and stevedores and the moneyed men attend the same social parties and hob-nob together ? As to having "a fair show in politics," that -depends on Mr. Grant, and the corporal,of the guard, and the Returning Boards. If the Republican means the right to vote, or the right to run for office, we can assure that able paper that any s "people" can come and ; "have a fair show in politics." Whether the candidates from that section will always be preferred over our own na tive people, will have to be tested. The present member of Congress from Richmond, Virginia, is a North-1 a i i - T l i I; era man, ana ne nas aiso ueu u- vernor of that State. He was elect- I ed by Southern Democrats and form- J er slave owners. ' i In our own State the late Judge I Boyden, of the Supreme Court, and J the late Judge Warren, of the csu- I perior uourp, were or . iNorinern i parentage and birth. But after all, J honest immigrants" and not " vis- ionaries and impracticables" are pre-1 ferred. If--we are hot very much in error, just at this time there is con-J siderable stir in Massachusetts about I " honest" men being preferred to men of ' bad characters and questionable records. : Why even the Republican preferred Charles Francis Adams for Governor, and Judge Hoar for Con gress to ' Beast" Butler. North . Carolina will be glad to have industriousr enterprising, sober, , i ll onest immigrants men who come I to aid in developing our hidden I wealth and great resources, and in . .. placing iNortn Carolina on a nigner i level of commercial and agricultural I prosperity. But we are not anxious I to greet political fire-brands and emis- I saries and propagandists of isms and I dogmas as pernicious as contemptible. All such can remain at home, for we need them not. We love our home institutions, and we prefer to have them not meddled with. But "honest "immigrants" we will gladly welcome. We saw the extract given above in the Courier-Journal, and wrote our commetit'on last Tuesday, but it was crowded out. We have since read an excellent reply in the Observer. We quote a passage or two : 'In the first place it takes exception to our desire for 'honest immigrants.' Heaven knows we have had enough of those who at carpet-bag in hand, come with nothing but whose mission was to remain so long as plunder could be obtained and then mir grate like birds ot the air to other and more profitable fields. We want honest bona -fide settlers, and not roving bands of political ' gypsies. We care very little what their political opinions are when they come amongst us, for we feel certain-thai they will care who are. to impose make laws, and they will not vote for men unless they have the intelligence ana non1- i; ,i v,fnr. he becomes a politician should live long enougu among ine people to Know lueir S"Tw.!KStelSldSiK tunning for office. - ? 'The liepubiican seems also surprised that we should manifest a repugnance to visionanes-ahd impracticables.' In mat- strain of prophecv like that which texsof buside8s and for the purpose of dc- I ,T , , , . V :, t -. , -t-velopinethe resources of a country, we -Blacbetn heard on the heath when have always found tnat' sound judgment the principal requisites, and hence our pre- ference of tnem to the 'visionaries and im- practicables.'" , "" bxsaok vviui men more there is a sineru- w mi ituuuawvu iu JUiitrvD. f f ucu men study the great principles of our own government and the govern ments of the world, and then pene trating the past profoundly consider the genius 6f extinct nations and the forms of government which they adopted, we can understand some thing of such fascination. But to rush into politics simply to obtain office and get a living in that precari ous way, is inexplicable to us. In the history of the country we believe there has been no instance of a Judge of the Supreme Court re signing bis life-time place to accept a place in the U. S. Senate, although there have been instances of Senators resigning their places to take a seat on the bupreme bench. JudgeDavid Daris, if hecceptrbeirositfc Senator from Illinois that has been tendered him, and iit is under stood that he will the first . instance o accept, ps the kind. The position of a Tanked States Justice is an exalted and hon orable one, and. as it is nearly for life, or until a man is seventy, is much more desirable than a place in the Senate, unless a man has" that great combination of parts that J will give him' tibe leadership. . .We can understand how such great men as Webster, Calhoun and Clay would delight in the conquests of that great arena; but unless a man is born to command like Clay, or to exercise a strange witchery by his grand and noble eloquence like jWebster, or have a strong following .like Cal houn, who controlled j men by his mental power and personal' fascina tion, we should suppose a place on the Supreme Court Bench would be preferable to any man of legal erudi tion and ability, j . The Baltimore American says : . "The Justices of the Supreme Court have been a proverbially long-lived race of men, and a large majority of them have died in office. We believe . that twenty-nine citi zens of the United States have attained to this exalted position. Of; these Jay, the first Chief Justice, resigned to accept a for eign mission; Ellsworth,) Blair, Moore, Omer and Kelson resigsea in their old age, when they became too infirm to discharge judicial duties; Story resigned to become a Professor in the Cambridge Law School; Curtis went back to his law practice, and Campbell and Wayne 'went With their States' when they seceded from the .Union. We believe that all the ojher Justices of the Supreme Court, excepting those now on the bench, died in office. 'f I - .-T ! f : -. Judge Davis is a gentleman of high education and fine abilities. How he would succeed as a legislator remains to be seen. There are but few in stances on record of a man's achiev t; t t i politics. We rather think sibly Judge Davis has a sort1 of itch ing for politics, but not from any real love for them, but because they con stitute a powerful lever and may hoist one into the Jf residential chair.Lupon wmeu nunureas or aspiring men nx their gaze, and to secure which they employ all their resources 6f ability, tact and experience. Judge Davis has been spoken of in the papers time and again for the Presidential nomination, and it would not tave been a great 8Brp Uo to the country lr ne naa Deen chosen in place of Mr. Greeley in 172,' or in place of Gov. Tilden in 1876. It is not improbable that he may be nom inated in 1880, for he will jo but 66 years of age then. ; j v ; - ! '- As the chances of being nominated . , a , m i i at such an advanced age are extreme- I ly doubtful, after having failed of success in the last two P esidential ' campaigns, ana Deing so excellent a jurist, the case is quite remarkable and exceptional. The Amerivan says of him, and it is Republican tea timony He never was much of a politician be fore his appointment to the Supreme Bench, and since then he has devoted himself strictly to his judicial duties land the en- largemeni oi nis personal estate.

There is no: little 'snarling and abusing going on among them.' In the caucus on Monday there was quite a little row, d unng which the Morton wing of the party hurled their expletives freely atf the Edmunds Gonkling wingr-We quota from the Baltimore Gazette's special: - ; , , - ! :, . ?r - Furious speeches were made by Sargent, Morton and Cameron. The latter declared that the Republican members of the joint committee from the Senate had surrendered to the enemy. He would not say that they had sold out, as some had charged, but he was satisfied that they had succumbed to influences which bad been brought to bear on them from New York, Boston and else where, where there were men half-hearted and weak-kneed. . The whole thing was a Democratic contrivance, designed to bring Mr. Tilden in, he was quite certain; and the men who! had yielded to outside influ encess,urrendered the rights of the Repub lican party, and given up the advantage it possessed, were not entitled to the confi dence of their party. He did hot accuse them of bad motives. He thought they had been overcome by their more wily ad versaries. ' Sargent was not governed in his speech. He characterized the coaduct of the Re publican Senators who agreed with the De mocrats on the committee as treacherous, and said they had betrayed their party. He was very pointed in his allusions to Senator Conkling, and intimated that certain influ ences in New York had been potential in controlling him. He went at length into the condition of affairs in the South, and insisted that the party was bound by every consideration to stand by the Returning Boards of Florida and Louisiana. It would be a j . . . - ; COWARDLY DESERTION OF THE MEN . who had dared to do their duty in these States, and it would be still more cowardly 1 to go back on thedistinguished members of tne party who nac, at the solicitation of the President, gone t Florida and Louisiana to give countenance and courage to these brave, true-hearted. Republicans. He de clared that the members of the Returning Boards in Florida and Louisiana would have been false to themselves and their country if they htd done otherwise than as they did. and the ReDublican nartv was bound by every consideration of honor and gratitude to sustain them in what they had done. He dwelt upon outrages which had been perpetrated in Louisiana and Missis sippi, and called upon the Senators who had investigated the condition of affairs in the former State to say if they had not found that all the statements made by Republi cans there, oh which the action of the Re turning Board was founded, were iustified by the facts, and that the state of affairs in that State was even worse than it was re ported to be.: McMillan, of Minnesota, crave in a hearty response, but Senator Howe, of Wisconsin, was more guarded in his testimony. He said that there, was undoubtedly a great deal of fraud, intimidation and violence on the part of the Democrats, but he was not prepared to say that the other aide had not been guilty j of crimes also. Generally speaking, he was disposed to stand by the Returning Board, and thought that there had been a great deal of intimidation prac- M. 3 1 A V . S : j i it. t . . f . SSSSSVSrZL he could endorse everything which had been done by the Returning Board. There were serious allegations made against it. It was charged that returns had been alter ed to produce certain results, and if this was proved, of coarse no ' party could stand that. He was satisfied that wronzs had been committed by both sides in Louisiana: that a desperate struggle had been made by com parties to carry the otate, and while he was willing to go far to sustain the Re- uc rma wiujng 10 gy ur iu busium tuts i ti turning Board, he could not o farther than the facts would warrant. This speech of Howe created great excitement among the Morton-Sargent faction, and Morton came to oargent a. assistance. ... T-T : " 1 RERIEKIBER. Is he capable, is he honest such were the inquiries always asked by our political fathers before they ap pointed a man to omce. Liet our i - - . - : Democratic friends in the Legisla ture be careful to observe this time- honored rule. Let: them remember. too. that economv was to be a dia- tinguishing feature "in Democratic administration. The people expect this, after all the oratorical flourishes and newspaper promises. We are reminded of this by an ed-1 ltonal and letter in the last Fayette ville Gazette. Referrmff to a recent appointment, the Gazette says : 1 The Legislature has given to Mr. Gud- ger, of Madison, the .Superin tendency of the North Carolina Asylum for the deaf, dumb and blind, and our valued Kaleigh correspondent, 'X Y. Z.,' tells us in an other column that Mr.' Gudger is entirely, wunoui experience in tne duties to which he has been called, is not conversant with! the 'sign language' of the inmates, and is utterly unacquainted with the workings of me institution." : t o The Gazette says further: , "He is represented as being in a tower- k&tfJ.. irom $ i,uu to spi.aou. uome Mr. wudger lint cnmmpr tn wnnnmir and rotronoVimont it was in earnest, and the weonle nut faith in its promises; if you are not satisfied with luewuiucuMuuu atiauucu w uio uuitc, there are scores of men throughout the Stat in.r.awiinn.i;fl ..Tnn . would be delighted with the position at $1,200 a year. Without, expressing any opinion of Mr. Gudger's qualifications or dissat isfaction, for we have no information :as to either, we simply insist' that the Democratic p'artvjs pledge before the country: to be economical in ad- ministration, and ' to rjlafce m office "a . T v -" - ; 4 1 .1 ' 1 W an excellent omcer we - ..k' . in I should be certain to supply his place with as efficient .and intelligent one. Nothing short of this will meet the necessities of the case, or the expec tations of the. people. The New York Iribune thinks that the recent; sentencing , of. a young- blood to the penitentiary ; . for ,; ten 1 years, for shootiug his sweetheart be- cause she woutcThoTmarrv bim "willl tend to discourage one of the noblest of our: national sports." ' ThTlisfauel that occurred on ac count of heated expressions in debate between two Congressmen, was that . fought by Hon. Samnel W. Inge, of Alabama, anJ Hon. Edward Stanly, of North Carolina. ' We believe Mr. Inge was a native of this State also, having been born in Granville counr ty, This duel took place in 1850. About that iime another duel occur red, the actors in which were also an Alabamian and a North Carolinian, namely, Hon. ;Wm L. Yancey and Gen. Thomas L. Clingman,; an ac count of wbioh may be found in Sa bine on "Duels and Duelling." No one supposes that Morton is sincere in his convictions. He was the author of a bill quite similar to the one that created the electoral commission, but he opposed the lat ter. The Chicago Tribune is a lead ing Republican paper. It appears to understand Mortoii thoroughly, and thus presents a resume of his argu ment against the electoral bill: j i V.We are the Republican party; Hayes was the Republican candidate; in the ab sence of legislation the vote mast be deci ded by the JP resident or tne senate; tne President of the Senate is a Republican, and, of course, will declare the Republican candidate elected; why should we legislate, . I wheD, without legislation, we nave the whole game in our hands?" j It seems that there were other North Carolinians who obtained the highest honors at AVest Point. The Raleigh Observer says that Col. Wm. Mcltee, of Wilmington, and Col. Alexander Swift also received the place of number one in tbeir respec tive classes. It adds: "Both Col. McRee and CoL Swift were sent to Europe by the government as special commissioners to examine European sys- iems, ytuu a view to promote me emciency of our army." One of the Radical witnesses be fore the Investigating Committee. L. W. Kenner by name, testified that Hayes' majority in Louisiana was gained by throwing out teu thousand Tildeu votes, on account of alleged fraud and intimidation, but that at New Orleans the election was peace able. He knew, however, of affidavits that bribes had been offered. from Washington. Special to the Baltimore Sun. I In the caucus mention was made of the selection of General Garfield as one of the members of the commis sion by the Republican caucus, and quite a number of those present urged that his selection be not ratified by the House first, because he had pre judged the Louisiana case; and, se cond, because of personal objections growing out of the Credit-Mobilier affair and the DeGoyer contract. The caucus declined, however, to take any action in the matter, but it was un derstood that when the ballot is taken in the House very many of those pre sent will vote against Garheld. David Dudley Field would have been selected as one of the commis sion but for a suggestion which was made that possibly the electoral tri bunal would decline to allow counsel to appear before it. In this case the House would appoint managers to represent it, and in this capacity it was thought that Mr. Field would be of much more benefit than as a mem ber of the commission. It was dis closed that Mr. Hoar will receive the unanimous Democratic vote. I MOBTOST. The Democrats are much better pleased to have Morton on the com mission than Conkling. Morton has not ; pretended to practice law for many years, and his attempts at the display of legal knowledge have for a long time been the subject of much amusement among all his associates. It is well said that among the judicial minds which he will now meet in the electoral tribunal he will be no more than a cypher, for bis sledge-hammer dogmatism cannot pass current there j l i T"7 as it uuea iu tuts puiibiuai arena. jlo. I CRAMMING FOR THE OCCASION. The Supreme Court Justices who are to sit on the Electoral Commis sion are already beginning to "cram" for their duties.
