New York that the "Half Breeds" are manoeuvring' to capture a part of Arthur's patron age. ' They are said to be out IIeroding Ilerod" , himself in their adulation of the ; new President. They are promising him the heartiest of all support. " This , is, the charge the Conklingites bring against them. That there is trouble brewing in New York is plain enough if : the papers may be trusted in the matter. Conkling's organ, the Emmng Com mercialy complains that; the opposi tion Republicans are trying to em barrass "Arthur at the start. This charge does - not comport with the first made, as , given above. . The Commercial says that there is ' a movement V afoot to get; all of the Cabinet to leave. Collector Robert son talks of resigning. ; Phelps, Min ister 'to Austria, has resigned. All this portends trouble. But hear the organ: -- 1 j "::'A !' .V1;.''' j" The intent of all this is plain enough.: It is simple malice. It is the effort of mischief-makers, whose own ' aims have been baffled by recent events, to ereate trouble for the new President before he has hardly got on his way. That a conspiracy asaisst the new Administration has been entered into there can be.no doubt It is as plain, as day that men disgruntled with re cent events are casting about to embarrass it and destroy its usefulness." i r jMay we riot expect, then, that not long hence possibly before the first month of Arthur's Presidency has ended--there will be storm - signals hoisted and we shall all descry in the political horizon presages of tem pests ? , In the meantime the Demo crats will survey t the scene, , measure the probabilities, watch the corks, and endeavor, for 'the great country's weal, to snatch the flower safety from the nettle danger. .-' ': : : - v ; ' : j There is still another Senatorial rumor started. The last-is told by a New York shipping merchant. , He claims to have received a letter from a Utica, N. Y., man in which it was proposed to have Conkling ' killed,' "who was the direct cause of Presi dent - Garfield's death and F General Arthur's T elevation.' The ; name is not given. ' The New York man is a Mr. Jackson. We .copy from a long dispatch about it from New, York, dated October 1, to the Philadelphia Press : , "To-day Mr. Jackson called on Commis sioner Mason and was admitted to a long in terview with him.- He gave the Utica letter to the Commissioner and told him what he knew about its writer. This was in sub stance that he was a man of about 40 years, college bred and of - good family.; Fifteen years ago he ran a large hotel in Utica antl then Mr. Jackson managed his business for him. Lately he has been an agent for some mercantile interests. Mr. Jackson firmly believes him to be another Guiteau. f- He was unable to account for his addressing him, except on the score of ; their old ac quaintance." 5 Our Northern exchanges say that Dr. Boynton, the . homeopathist," is preparing a statement of the Presi dent's case for publication. Drs. Bliss and Brady are hard at work in New York on the report of the former. Dr. Woodford is preparing a volume ?in which are to be drawings of the case at different stages. There is a report that some of the visura of the Presu dent was taken to Washington. This is denied. It Is known that Mrs.1 Garfield consented that the vertebrae and ribs should be taken ,(touWash ington, as these might be essential in tne trial oi Umteau, up it foe vqs- siDie tnat tnese snouia oe necessary with so many doctors to testify as to the cause of death?

Senator Vance sys:j : . , , ( ( ', ; - '. i "A corporation chartered by. a neighbor-, ing State, called the Richmond & Danville Railroad. Company, having procured ' con trol of the great artery, of our State com merce,; the North Carolina' Railroad, has :gone on adding road after road until they have secured control of the Western Norm ' Carolina ; the Northwestern North Carolina ; the. Charlotte, .Columbia & Augusta; i the Atlanta & Charlotte Air-Line;, the Spartan burg & Asheville; the Spartanburg' & Union and the; Virginia Midland, and are said to be treating for the remainder in this region. By these means, they dominate the only remaining road by .which all that vast' region west of Raleigh ' can find a j way to the ' sea for '.its products. And now a region, of , country embra-( cinga ; in . North Carolina ; alone a pop ulation numbering ; more ' than 800,000 souls, f to say , nothiug. of the ; ; regions in adioiniris States, is under an 'astriction' as to everything they sell Abroad and every thing they buy from abroad. . Three men, or at most a half dozen, compel these 800,-: 000 . by force of circumstances, as rigid as positive law, to ship and reship eveiything by their lines of transportation at their own prices. No 'Multure,' 'thirlage' or 'thral dom' of the Middle Ages was more inexo rable.

Nor can a sack of salt, or of coffee, or a pound of iron, or anything . else that our people need from abroad be brought into them, without a levy of their 'multure. ' " One hundred and seventy Sena tors - and Representatives of the people meet biennially in the ,city of Raleigh, and under the solemnities of an oath and the responsibility of an account to an out raged people if they do wrong, levy with the utmost impartiality ; and - justice, $500,000 annually upon the people, for the support of the government; this half dozen men without oath, and no responsibility to any body, in a distant city, without the pride of citizenship, from time to time sit down and levy a tax of more than' three times that which our Legislature imrjoses. and collect it bjd8tre8g. They levy it too without fairness or justice, making a man in one community pay more for the same service than one in another community, and often making this difference between men in the same com munity. Truly they sup in our cup, they dip in 'our, dish.' 'These are the leeches who suck our common wealth, and they will not bate us spin.' " : i i ? j Truly it iriay be said that . this Giant Monopoly has the appetite of a cormorant and the squeezing powers of a boa-constrictor. It has already swallowed nearly all of the railroads within its reach, and it has about squeezed to death the trade . between the sections of the State.- The fond ness of the horse-leech for ' blood is not comparable to the greed of this corporation for the life's -blood ) of North Carolina.Ita. managers are now sitting - by f the banks of the James in Virginia, and like that fa-, mous hero of antiquity,"' the . Mace donian Alexander, who wept because there were no more worlds to con quer, they are grieving with, a sorrow that only a sordid nature can under stand that there, are apt a half dozen I other North Carolina railroads - they . can gobble up and place safely in -their capacious maw. ; . ,. . ' . ; 1 We believe that Senator Vance; is acting under the best impulses of his nature, and doing what he- believes sincerely to be for the best , interests., of the people of -his native- Carolina. His arraignment of Monopoly is made with exceeding force and perspicaci ty He has discussed the evils' that grow, out of monopoly in a way that, all may understand. 3 ; Whatever may be the merits of the discussion be-: tween the Senator and the attorneys of the ; Buford Syndicate, there can be but one opinion, we apprehend, among fair minded ' people, :u ' the way the Syndicate ; is treating y North j Carolina shippers over their roads. " People may differ as'; to the merits of - certain ' points raised ' iri the long discussion ; over this rail road embroglio, ;; but . there will : be little . dispute among honest; in telligent people as to two points:' that' Senator , Vance is actuated in.whit fee (oes by a high sense' of public duty s arid- with an eye single1 to the. protection of thp people and, ecoijdj' jhat he maes Qt yery; sfrpng cset why, "as a Commissioner of the State," representing the interests of the peo ple, A4 tfioidd.nat&grflO-ji&ezi $.Jh$.. time a ked for bi ithf Buf i lime a zed sate,..-, j lis d yndi .All .K hatnf oate thatyhey!
