The Richmond State thinks that the" "North Carolina Legislature raust certainly have the medal for disinterested public spirit;" and all I because it sat six days without pay. The grandest ovation that was ever accorded any man will be that given to Grant on his return. It will begin at San Francisco and continue until he is defeated for President. Hon. Samuel J. Randall was born October 10, 1828, in the city of Phila delphia! The present is the ninth Congress of which he has been a member, and he has been elected Speaker three times. It is believed that during lh&Feb-J ruary gales thirteen fishing vessels, belonging to Gloucester, Mass., went down, carrying with them one hun dred and fifty-three men, making fifty-three wives widows, and leaving one hundred and thirty-seven chil dren fatherless. A large and fashionable audience listened to the music and singing of "H. M. S. Pinafore" at Norfolk." The papers of that place praise the sing ing, acting and orchestral accompa niment. The Richmond State says tbe last two. performances in that city were exceptionally good and de lighted the audiences. The census of 1870 cost $3,347, 36.74 to take it. The last Congress U'JO.74 tO take It. 1 lie laSt C'OnCreSS . appropriated $3,250,000 to take the cpiiHiin of trro. hnt. if. iff believed that I .,---.: . more will be rennired.

The best and last political joke of J he season is contained in the follow ing .. paragraph, clipped from the Vashington special in the Baltimore conning the Honse KepuUi- can caucus: I "A number ef speeches were made on the subject of the best policy to be pursued by the Republican?-, and it was agreed that it would be to the interest of the party that a Democratic Speaker should be selected and therefore no combinations should be made on the part of the Republicans look ing to any different result." During the last day; of. the session of our Legislature there was a soene. i r . . . , .

He was ordered be fore the bar of the House. He threatened' to kill the doorkeeper who was ordered to arrest him,: and dared the Speaker to come down and help doit." There is no doubt that Randall's nomina-vl tion is regarded by Tilden's friends here as a grea-. xuuen victory. , i ue engrossing topic in political circles now is the forma tion of the House eommiitees. It is gene rally conceded that Mr. Randall will make but very few changes in the important chairmanships, and that the South will con tinue to monopolize them probably to afar greater extent than if Blackburn had been successful. Washington special to Baltimore American, Hep. We hope Randall will disappoint this expectation. Blackburn, to get votes, was going to give the North more of the chairmanships. Let Ran dall do the same. The South is enti tled to a part, but not to two-thirds. As to Tilden gaining a Victory in Randall's success, that is all bosh. - r . , ... i . rl-1 3 I pome oi ine Biropgeai, anu-iiiueii Democrats voted for Randall.
