Moore, Eq , the Re publican candidate for Attorney-General was born in Edenton in December 1841, and still resides in that. town. He is the second son of the, late Hon. Augustus Moore, who was universally recognized as one of the ablest lawyers and best Judges in the state. Heat tended school at the Edenton Academy and at Horner's School, at Oxford, this state, when in Junel859 he entered the University, remaining until Ihe winter of 18G0-6K Hw pursuit was that of agrlculturs untii-the opening' of the war, when he volunteered as a private, April, 1801, in Co. A. 1st N. C. State Troops, commanded by Capt. Skinner, under Col. Stokes. He served in Vir ginia until February,. 1862, when he was promoted to Lieutenant of Artil lery. In 1SG1 he was detached from the Company and placed on Staff duty. Mr. Moore was licensed to practice law in January 1SC7, and while' de voting his time to his profession he has taken an active part in every move ment involving the interests of the people. In 1871 hf was a candidate for the Convention, tunning: ahead of his ticket. In 1872 he declined the appointment of Solicitor of tho First Judicial District in favor of Willis Dsgley In the aamo year he was elected a County Commissioner by a large majority and served two years as Chairman of tho poard. In 1871 he was a prominent candidate for Congress. In 1S7" li declined the nomination as delegate to tho State Convention.

Loving the profession, and possessing a peculiar adaptability for it, he has rapidly risen until he now stands at the front among the memberi of tho Bar. With quick perceptions, possessing reasoning fac ulties htrong and clear, and having ob tained a thorough kcowlcdso oi Ihe law, he is specially qualifiedrfor tho re sponsible oilice for which he has been nominated. In politics, Mr. Moore is an earnest, outspoken Republican. - He has taken an active part in every campaigu since 1872. He has few equals on the stump and as a writer her is able and vigorous. Personally he is very popular and here in the east, where he is known, ho will poll a large vote.

From an .'interview in The JThilailefjihia rred, Atj. 50th, 1SS0, ' t Wiih regard to the Credit Mobilier iranxnctior 1 have Said, and always will say. that I believe that Gen. Garfield told me the truth about it. He would not. do anything else. I watched the development of the investigation, and I saw nothing in that to alter ray opin ion. I will tell you, Gen. Garfield's hands were clean in that transaction he has always kept them, but he un fortnnataly adopted the false defence of thoo who were guilty and who expect ed Oake Ames to swear them through, instead of standing on his own true and good defence and leaving the guilty to their fate. There was his devotion to party. It was urfecd upon him aaa party necessity, and he yielded to that consideration, as he always will. His party demanded the sacrifico, and he made it. For that reason the Credit Mobilier affair has not hurt him with his party, aud will not and ought not, Ibel'eve firmly in Gen. G&rfiela'i per sonal integrity, and 1 base my judge ruent-upon an intimate knowledge of his private walk and conversation.

Tho Tribune: Senator Wallace eaid in a speech in Philadelphia on Saturday evening: "No northern Senator or Representa tive would dare to vote, nor has one ever yet voted in favor of the payment of pensions to southerners engaged in the Rebellion." Iu tho Senate on February 23. 1S79, the Arrears of Penr sioria bill being under consideration, an amendment was offered that no ex'f rebel soldier "shall be entitled to re ceive any pension under this Act." The vote on this amendment was 21 in the affirmative, all Republicans; 26 in tho negative, all Democrats except 2. Of the 24 Democrats, 7 were,' from the north,? and one of them was Senator Wallace. On tho same tliy it was moved also that Jeff Davis bo excluded from receiving a pension under the Act. On this motion, 23 Republicans voted in the aSrmativo and 20 Demo crats, in the negative. Mr. Wallace "dodged," but there were 5 northern Democrats who voted in favor of in cluding Davis. In view of this fact, what is the name for the offence Mr. Wallace committed in his speech? Hancock has begun to dodge impor tant political questions which arc not settled in she Cincinnati platform. The N. Y. Herald correspondent at Indianapolis says of that skinflint W. U. -English: ' j It u an undeniable fact that bright aud keen and successful as Mr. English unquestionably is ho is.'far from being popular with his townspeople or with tho workers from out of . town. He seems to have no social relations here, and although, he has a comfortable and acce.Vible house he has yet to iivite any of ilie distinguished guesU who are litre working for him to share its hospitality.
