' Peath of I'lato Durham, Ksq. It i with extreme regret that we are called upon to announce the death of this gentleman, which took place at his residence in the town of Shelby. Cieaveland county, on Tuesday morning, 9th inst. Although his demise was not un expected, still the event has casta deep gloom over the community In which he liveLand will cause un feigned regret throughout the State. Mr. Durham has ngurett consid erably in public life. We first re adied him as a member of the Con stitutional Convention of 1S0S. In he represented his count y in i hf General Assembly. In he was a candidate for Congress iii his district but was defeated by Mr. Jom-, of Buncombe. In 1871 he was an independent candidate for Congress, but failed of an election, having been beaten by Gen. Ilobt. Vance. His last appearance in pub lic life was :s a member of the lite Cor tituti:.nal Convention, of which I.e. .vasa prominent Member. Mr. Durham was a gentleman of great jrersonal popularity. Socia ble, kin hearted and genial, he won friends among all with whom became in contact Asa neighbor : n 1 friend he x i 1 be greatly miss mI. w hile the Siae loses a valuable iitil high tore I citizen. IVaco to ashes. Democratic ISxtravaganee. It was a favorite cry among Demo r.i'iic politicians all over the State ibirinir the late campaign that the e-en:e of the . Convention would b- tiii rely nominal and would not cvul at the farthest the sum of twentv-tive thousand dollars. The lb-publicans, through their press iitid on the stump, warned the peo ple of the danger of trusting to Umocratic assertions and preten -ions. .Not only has the sum inci- I -nt to the assembling of the body mine u,. to, but has exceeded even the huge expense we predicted. In the matter of rriuting alone, the nj)lo have been shamefully im inimiI upon. Joe turner, by au thority of the Convention and in virtue of his office as Public Printer, i: ts his han is at this time up to the arm pits in the State Treasury. This man who prates so much :.:, nf honesty and talks so favora bly about retrenchment, bullied the Irauduh nt and iniquitous ma j rity into voting him the privilege printing one hundred thousand copies of the proposed amendments to the Constitution, prominent among which is one proposing to oh the masses of our citizens of heir rights to control their public rvants and vest it in an aristocrats-ami tyrannical Legislature select l under the present shameful ger rymander of the State. For this nicely fixed up job, Joe Tamer is to receive the snug little "win of about eight thousand dollars. easy does Joe Turner feel pecu n ia rily in anticipation of this licensed raid upon the public purse, that he 'is retired temporarily fronvthe Ia 'ious life of an editor, hired a carpet-Lag horn blower to do his dirty work and betaken himself to the pleasant task of riding over the :iUe as a gentleman of leisure. After the isue is complete it will r quire an additional sum of two or ihrte thousand dollars to distribute l'"einfarnous proposed amendments, amounting altogether to over ten thousand dollars. Added to this be the cost of the journals of the Convention and their distribu tion, which will make the fearful a?gregate for printing nearly four I'm thousand dollars. And, peo ple of North Carolina, this out rage is perpetrated upon you against your expressed wish. By eight thousand majority, or more, you Protested against it. You de (red in substance that you de red no Convention. You voted fw und fairly elected a majority of Republicans to represent you In the ivention. By ah act of Infamy, uch as was never before perpetrat H upon a free people, your voice u stilled and your wishes icrno- inioualy sneered at and disregard- Hi. Public Treasury teas rob- led to bolster up a broken down newspaper editor and stuff the emp- ty pockets of Democratic beggars. And now to add insult to injury you are asked to seal your own shame by endorsing the action of such a body. It is an insult to ask it, and tricksters, traitorsand scoun drels will find to their dismay that the people know and will at the i proper time maintain their privil eges and rights. For our part, we are anxious for the fight. We are anxious to witness the indigna nation which we are certain will pervade all classes of the thinking people in North Carolina when the acts of the late so called Constitu tional Convention shall be thor oughly and strictly ventilated. The evil that men do, lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones." The portrait of Dick Turpi n is to this day found in many a house in England. We frequent ly find the crooked nose of Bene dict Arnold and the insidious face of Aaron Burr in American house holds. Men and women like to see them. They bring up vividly the events that caused their named to figure in history, and, to this ex tent, they may warn the young. To pander to the desire for seeing heroes, even of a disgraceful cause, we learn that Edward Ransom's hardened features are being hawk ed about for sale. We know no thing of the objects which prompt the offer of this man's villainous visage to the public. If, however, to look upon it will deter any of the coming generation Iroin such act of infamy as attach to his name, we hope the picture will be freely and widely distributed. The Wilmington Post throws out a hint that the people of his section were somewhat disappointed be cause Governor Brogden did not visit the late Wilmington Fair. Now, we know it to be the fact that Governor Brogden is not only willing but anxious to mix as much as possible with his fellow citizens in all parts of the State, and omits no opportunity when he can do so without detriment to the public in terests. There are times, however, when matters of State claim his attention to such an extent as to prevent him from accepting the in vitations of his many friends. We hardly suppose that the Governor need make much of an excuse to the people of the Cape Fear region, because they know him too well to believe he would intentionally slight them. You must take it back, Cannady ; you must, really. We notice in Democratic papers advertisements given out by officers appointed by a Republican admin istration, while the central organ of the Republican party is overlooked. Democrats are given paying posi tions by Republican Boards, while Republicans who are competent to fill these places are compelled to ask indulgence of grocers and boarding house keepers, as they toil on ; and now 44 vital error" Democratic edi tors are receiving Republican pat ronage, while Republican printers aro not thought of by certain of ficials ! We have special reference to the fact that the management of the Western Insane Asylum which, to say the least, ought to be free from party bias, gives its advertis ing patronage to Democratic news pipers in Raleigh, entirely ignoring the existence of a Republican paper at the Centre. Vice President Wilson. This distinguished gentleman was taken suddenly ill at his room m the Capitol at Washington a few days since, aud his condition caused 8eriousalarm to his friends through out the country. The best medical aid was summoned and we are re joiced to state that at last accounts he was much improved and thought to be out-of danger. It will be re membered that the Vice President has been for some time iu delicate health, brought about, it is said, by great mental labor. His loss would indeed be a sad one to the nation, and we sincerely trust that many m A. I r years or useiuincss are yei ueioi? him. Mr. Secretary Fish has another Spanish outrage on his hands, a nat uralized American citizen immwi Montes having been arrested in Cuba, and banished to the Isle of Pines without a inai, auu, it m claimed, without cause.

Ar. Y. Herald. I letter from Prof. .J. l Samp- son. Special Correspondence cf the Era. Act ice xcork of lion. John A. Hy man at Waxhiwjfon) in behalf of the people of North Carolina De partmental new Getting ready for the coming of Congrees Polit ical outlook from the Capital tince the Pull elections in Ohio aud the Xorthicest. Washington City, Oct. li), 1873. Returning fre3h from the canvass in Ohio, where I've been actively engaged for four weeks ui.der the auspices of the Central Committee, discussing the currency question and the Roman Catholic school measure, as a native of the Old North State, proud of her massive pines towering amid the deep blue, proud of her material resources, the moral worth and intelligence of her citizens, I wish to address myself. brielly to your columns upon the noblo work of her Representative, Hon. John A. Hyman, and other matters of a general interest at the seat of government. When I speak of Mr. Hyman and his work nere for the last six months, I wish to have it understood, that I do not wish to patronize him because I look to him for some favor, as a friend ; no, sir, far from U ; I speak of his work in the highest praise simply because he merits it. There has been no delegate In Congress from that District for the last twenty-five years that has done more for the people of North Carolina than Hon. Jno. A. Hyman, and I mean no reflection upon his predecessors, but as a faithful correspondent I write the truth. It is a remarkable fact that from the very day that he came to Washington and was of ficially recognized by the Clerk of the House, upon his credentials and the record of his majority, before he had taken seat on the floors of Congress, he has been hard at work, and has already secured more ap pointments for all parts of the State than any other member from the South. He has succeeded in getting closer to each Cabinet minister in this short time than some have done during the whole of their two terms. He has the personal friend ship and confidence of all the secre taries, approaching them with the greatest freedom and respect. They seem pleased to serve him, and what is unusual, before he has taken his seat, he has been fully recog nized, and all of his appointments have been respected. He has an indomitable determination of char acter, and yet he has always been unassuming and polite in his de mands. He lives in a style becom ing his positio'n, with office and re ception rooms to receive the people from his State when they come to see him upon official business. Re tiring in his manner, he knows nothing but his duty and attends to business all the time. He may not be early to make a speech, but he is a worker and understands his busi ness about as well as some who have been in Congress for several years ; he knows the rights of his people in the departments, and has the courage to demand them. Leav ing the subject of this notice, which is strong, but by no means over drawn, other things being equal, let me say to the people of his Dis trict, that his record here will com- j pare well with any member from 1 the South, white or colored, and they may feel proud of Hon. John A. Hyman as a member of Congress from North Carolina. DEPARTMENTAL.. The Kellogg Bill, reorganizing the i Treasury, and which passed both j houses about the closing hours of; last Congress, regulating the ap- j nointments with regard to States as ! well as fitness, is atout being con sidered, and with a view to it be coming a law after the first of Jan- j uary, tne names, oinn, age aim le gal residences are being taken. Those accredited to States having more than their quota are becoming quite interested, as are also those from the District of Columbia. The Secretary has already inaugurated several reforms in the civil service, and there is no doubt but what we are to have a more equal distribu tion of merit in all the Depart ments, with regard to the States. POLITICAL. OUTLOOK. Since the elections in the West, the Republican associations here from every State are quite jubilant and are falling into line, filling up the ranks and stepping to the music of the grand old party that saved the Union. The announcement in spires new hope; weak-kneed Re publicans, who but a short time ago were almost afraid to say that they were Republicans, and who, with a seeming pride, were telling it that their grandfather were Democrats, are now once more rallying around the standard of our starry old flag, calling up the names of dear ones who died for 44 the Union." GETTING READY FOR THE COMING OF CONGRESS. The Halls of both houses are be ing renovated, refurnished and paTntetl, while all the rooms and corridors are being arranged with a view to the taste and demands of the new members, as is the case Boardine-houses and public places of resort everywhere j are netting ready for winter and the society that comes every session with Congress to the seat of govern ment. Business is looking up and everybody looks to a gay time in Washington during the coming winter. Yours for the right, J. P. .

A story of great suffering at sea was brought by the West India mail steamer which has arrived at Plymouth with some of the crew of the bark Aurelie, from Liver pool for La Plata, on board. On the 2d of August smoke was seen rising from the coal forming the cargo of the Aurelie, and on an iron test rod being put down it came up red hot. The hatches were battened down and water poured in, but without effect, and the fire burned for seven days, dur ing which the crew, fourteen in number, and the captain's wife, were on deck, with scanty provis ions, amid stifling smoke. At length they took to their two boats, in which they passed five days and nights in sleeplessness and starva tion. The burning sun by day and rain and cold by night added to their sufferings, in the midst of which the captain's wife gave birth to a child. The two boats which had kept together were, when at the last extremity, seen and picked up by the ship Moonlight and taken to Barbadoes. Standard. The children are the hope of the world. Whatever ideas are instilled in their minds now are the ideas that will govern the world in the next generation. How important then that the Teachers of the coun try should be qualified for their great duty ; that they not only lay the foundation for broad and liberal culture but that they engraft upon the young and vigorous minds of their pupils correct ideas of human life and duty.
