CoXFIRilATlO OP THOMAS K.
; y- COOPER.
This gentleman was nominated some
three months ago for the Collectorship
Lbf the 6th district,but Messrs. Bansom
and Vance -immediately commenced a
fight on bis confirmation, ! and they
made all ports Cf threats.; Finally the
Senate come to a vote, and Mr. Cooper
was defeated, but the vote was at once
i - -1 - -reconsidered
and then allowed to lay
ver for two weeks, when another
vote was taken, and it was found that
he was almost unanimously confirmed,
oar. otva Senators re 1 using to . rote
This, action looks a little strange, and
the only way to account for tbe action
of our Senators' is, in our opinion, due
to popular j clamor that was , going up
demanding bis confirmation It is well
known that they .fought him because
be was chairmaa of .he ati-prohibition-ist3
of the statev . ' ?

Who is it ia the Republican party
that has great influence at Washington,
that contrbls several federal appoint
ments that does not want the Republi
cans and liberal Democrats to unite and
who obtains from certain federal office
holders gratuities or a percentage of
their salaries! ia payment for his influ
ence? Who Can answer? There are
men in (h3feublican party to whom this
charge will apply .Raleigh Chronicle. -
The above is a very serious charge,
in fact too much so to be mada unless
Mr. Doweli has the evidence to sub
stantiate it. And if he has such,proof
. he, as a public journalist, should pub
lish the names of the parties. We
would not hastate a moment, and we
call upon the editor of the Chronicle to
name the parties or stale that he can
not do so it is dae to all that the name
should be made, known. Mr. Dowell
Bays "there are men in the Republican
party to w.hom this charge will ap
ply" Th;s means, if it meansjany thing,
that the. editor ;ojlbe Chronicle knows
it td be so Therefore we demand, as

on Friday night with Malvma Stewart,
while on their way one Glasgo Wil

menced a row, but finally Williams left
and the parties proceeded on to church.
After they had been there some time
Williams come , to the church : and
borrowed ' a pistol from a man and
said ' to McFarland, I am ready for
you, and followed that up by firing at
McFarland, who, seeing that he would
be shot, threw up his arm and the ball
entered that instead of his head, as it
was intended. Williams then followed
woman, Malvina Stewart, to her
