KELLOGG AMD THE CIPHER DIB- A writer in the AVashington Post, who . signs himself "One Who Knows," says that the reason why Kellogg has so much power with the fraudulent administration and his recommendations to office ar e always! regarded, is that he has the delivered duplicates of those original office copies of the Radical cipher dis patches that were destroyed by Or ton, the Radical President of the Union Telegraph Company. He says that it is very natural that Mr. Hayes should be courteous to the man who had those delivered dis-. RSl& ffl?E8L& reiect1 U patches. Wo give some other points raised by "One Who Knows." tie says: ' "Are you aware that, just before the vote on the New York nominations, John Sherman called onfiKellogg ?at Willard's, and tried to impress him with the im portance of voting in f avor of the admin istration? "Are yon also aware that Kellogg, meta DhoricallY sneakine. shook some docu ments in John's face and asked him if a man who held such documents couldn't enjoy the small privilege of voting as he pleased? "Are yon also mindful of the fact that Kellogg then voted with Conkling, and that, the next day but one, Hayes nomina ted Kellogg's man, Badger, for Collector oi Hew Orleans ? "Can you tell why, in almost the same breath. Haves nominated Kellogg's man and withdrew the name of old Hannibal Hamlin's mao, when one voted with Conkling just the same as the other did?" i ThePosi does not confirm these statements, nor does it deny them, but says: . ! " We also know that he has at all times exercised a decisive influence over the fraudulent occupant of the White House. His thieves and tools are all in office. His man, Conquest Clarke, who superintended the electoral forgery, is in possession oi a snug place in the Treasury. He puts men in and out of Federal office almost at his own pleasure. The outward evidence of favor are not numerous. Kellogg is never heard pf at the White House family table, nor does his voice ascend with, that of Mr. Schurz at the Sunday evening song and praise service, and yet What he wants done is done. We are therefore not at all dis posed to deny the correctness of our cor respondent's suggestions." If Morton's man Bullock had not stolen and burnt certain tell-tale dis- ' Ity WIl.lgril. BERNARD. WILMINGTON JIT. C.) Feiday Moening, Feb. 14, 1879. VIOLENCE VERSOS BALLOT BOX. That the Democrats in many places iu States South , of us in the last election resorted to unwarranted measures in order to secure their po-Uticar-ends is only too apparent. The evidence taken before the Teller Committee evidence not disputed ' because the witnesses have charac ters, as in the case of Gen. Reuben E. Davis, of Mississippi, and some of . the witnesses from South Carolina ' shows that the, Democrats reported to the direputable ways and tricks of ; the Radicals that their plans might be successfully carried through. 'We can but hope that the investiga tions and exposures that have! been - made will have a happy effect in the I future. When unscrupulous ! men learn that bulldozing and cheating and defrauding may in the end cost them trouble, expense, and, perhaps, . their liberty for a season, they , will not be so ready to interfere with the rights and privileges of others. It is to be regretted that the United States Your committee therefore would have re ported a bill repealing this statute pro viding for the outside insane, but have already recommended favorably the Senate bill introduced by the Senator from Mc Dowell, which effects the same purpose." They say the Insane Asylum "has not been . managed . with care and economy." We quote: "Your committee are of the opinion that it is necessary to reorganize and turn over a new leaf. They therefore respectfully recommend the passage of the bill here with presented, and have a strong hope and confidence that it will save to the State the sum of twenty thousand dollars per annum." It is understood that to get rid of Dr. Gmsom, and those under him, the 'present asylum will be abol ished, and a new one created with new officers. The committee report that Gov. Jarvis does not desire a house to live in. The committee, therefore, re commend that the $17,500 received from the sale of lots be turned into the ; Treasury. The Governor sets one very good example in the way of "retrenchment , and reform." The committee say : "The committee herewith, and at the suggestion. . of his Excellency, the Gov ernor, offer a bill repealing the six hundred dollar clerkship allowed by the last Gen eral Assembly to the Executive Depart ment." The committee say if the various measures recommended by them are adopted the saving to the State can not be less than from $80,000 to $100,000. UovcrnoVs clerk.

The use that Grant made of Executive clemency in the most ootent aeency in the movement for another term of the "most illustrious American."

And all because a well known Republican, who is returned to Congress, is interested in having the thing bushed up. i In thus shielding Robeson and his unaerllngs, the republicans in tne .noose of Representatives are shouldering a heavy load, and will have reason to regret it." The Philadelphia Press accuses us of a want of sense in classifying the New York Sun as Independent, Rad-1 already sacrificed its margins and be- more it has added to this the at tractiveness of injured innocence and the mystery of an unexplored job. Two days ago it was a question whether Mr. Tilden could become a powerful competitor with Bayard, Hendricks and Thurman for the Dem ocratic nomination in 1880. This question is now settled. His exami nation at the Fifth Avenue Hotel on Saturday leaves no doubt whatever on that point. He has fought his battle of Actium and the victory tor the present rests with him. .

The great question now exercising the people who have never held office and do not understand the profound mysteries thereof, is how in the world did the grand old men of an earlier time the Burtons,the Swains, the Dudleys, the Moreheads, the Gra hams, the Braggs and others, and tbe remainder of the officials in eluded, get along in the capitol with only one darkey to wait on them ?

Raleigh, Feb. 11, 1879. SENATE. Senator Scales, . by consent, sub mitted a report from the joint select committee on Retrenchment and Re form.

It was very promptly killed and by a large majority; and we think impro nerlv. It seemed to be feared that the passage of such a law would be an impu tation upon tbe integrity of members and State officers.
