Judge Gresham is 'spoken of as a probable candidate of : the Republican party for tho Presidency in 1384; What bis views on the tar iff are we do not know, but he is a lliir.l tenner, . and that v ought to be Mxuigh I to kill his claims if he has any. We refer to him now because of an opinion of a special friend of Judije Gresham's, Mr. Fishback, of Indiana. The latter has recently ad dressed j two open letters to Repre sentative Peele on the subject of the tariff. We, give one. extract from, fine of his letters. He says:: . "It is morally certain that most of these taxes are imposed at the suggestion, -if not the dictation, of rich men who maintain a powerful! lobby at the National Capital. The effect of such legislation is to make the rich richer and the poor, poorer. Can the Republiciiu party livepa its reminiscences while it continues to perpetuate such folly and wickedness?": ' ti.': . i:. Li. k t. - iV.i fieaiit.. I When it is borne in mind that 'Mr. Fishback is a distinruiahea lawyer, once the law: partner of Sen ator Harrison, and at one time the editor of t lniIndianapolis Journal, the leading Republican paper, in In diana, and that he is now Master Commissioner of the United States Court by appointment of Jud?e Gresli.iin, the letter becomes more iniiortant' as a reflector of growiug pnblie Mentiment in Indiana. Wheth er Ins views reflect. l,lu iminiona nf Judge Gresham in any way or not wi c;thnot say.

The safety of the party will be ia rallying all of its strength f , as an! able Republican leader said ns in 1882 "You can hollow up your crotrd you can beat us, because in alelection North Carolina is l liemocrat 1 ic," ;if this id done then we shall whip. Our friend of the Weld on News says: ;"S6metithe ago the Wilmington Stab stated that pen. McCullongh was a native of Halifax I county. ;j We thought he was not and so laid; but. we were not certain.

Our authority Iwas the late George Barnes of Halifax, who if living " would be some 85 years of. age. He told us about the year 1861, that Ben was born about four miles from the town of Halifax, and if we are not mistaken. upon the farm now owned by Murlgo Pnrnell Csq.: His " father removed fax, when Ben was a small from Ilali lad. So said Mr. Barnes and the old Halifax people will bear testimo ny to the accuracy and truthfulness of Mr. ' Barnes. ; He despised a, lie and he told what he believed.
