Tbe disclosure sjt to the method bj which tbe whole conspiracy wm engendered, tbe con firmation of tbe evident prostitution of the Weatesn Union Telegraph Company to tbe position of a mere panderer to a oorrupi political clique, and tbe tbor uh organization of tbe letu of fraud are ail eminently ainiticant. By bis own coofeaeion. Sdcoud AuuUoi ls:niajter General Bra. y appears to bare gone djwn to Florida at tbe ln- Lance of tbe coirupt ecretaxy of the Interior, loaded with money whence derived, it will be interesting by and by to discover, since it come mainly from Zach Chandler au t there managed a whole corpa of aubonJioate poat otbet clerks cattered through the State to manipulate the count. Both Mr. Hrady and hi nnderlinga, while enjoying the distinction of leing "visiting states men" employed to -ee a fair count," were drawing their pay from the 1'ost OiSc lh' partmenL while their chieftain, Mr. Tyner, was peddlm; out mor.- of tbe appointments which Mr. Zach Chandler so magnanimously scattered about Indiana- previous to tbe election- There ate other interesting revela tions made by Mr. Brady. While working the oracle in Floruia it was neceaaary to keep up a close telegraph ic correspondence with his chief, Mr. Tyner, and hu chief's accomplice, Mr. Chandler. Tbe Ulegrams exebauged between them formed a fraction of the thirty thousand missives forwarded by tbe pandering teiegrapii company to tbe Morton Committee of the Senate. To these telegrams Republican politi cians and their age u is bad free acce.; IemcraU were not permitted to touch them . Mr. Brady tried to make it ap pear th.U the dispatches were carelessly thrown about the committee room, ac cessible to any body, but Mr. William K. Chandler explains that they were carefully watched by two persons, one BaiUtnk, private Secret. ry of Senator Morton, and tbe man Bullock, messen ger of the committee. With the as sistance of these two worthies, Mr.! Brsdv selected lirst a!l the dispatches exchanged between himself. Chandler and Tyner, on tbe ucdertandmg that the) would, soocer or -later, be destroy ed," and with a sentimental dtsire to "preserve a record of his share" in this trtmendous conspirator, Mr. Brady p eked out. alo with the assistance of i'i iv ate Secretary Burbaok and Mrs nger Bullock, all the Democratic ci pher dispatch, which he thought could be turned tog'od party use, at.d literally stole them from the coramll- Ut iom. The facile virtue of the Westf rn Union Company offered no let or hindrance to this theft, for so obliging was the Republican pander that it never even counted over the meages returned and therefore to jk no precaution either to prever.t theft or to delect tbe thieves. Mr. BraJr saw nothing wrong m what he had done, either as a "visiting statesman" orgaoixmg a horde of petty official cheats; as the favored sneak carrying off the "records of bis part of tbe transaction," or as the bolder thief, removing a batch of cipher dispatches !etween Democrats. All tbiegs con sidered, Mr. Second Assistant Post master General Brady seems to be a fair type, mentally and morally, of the Washington officials of his time acd party. Tbe investigation so far only coc urms what has all along been charged from the very moment w hen, long be fore the returns from distant parishes in IjOuiaaca, and remote counties in Florida, could be obtained, Mr. Chan dler and his accomplices foreshadowed their intentiou of steliog the Presi dency by announcing that they bad carrie 1 already the doubtful States. Tbe claim was a mere lutimation of their intention to do so at all hazard.', no matter bow desperate. The 'con spiracy included aU branches of the administration, ml the departments were instructed to carry out the infa mous scheme. Old and accomplished in roguery, moreover, the conspirators succeeded in skillfully covering their tracks as every incident from the Sherman letter t the unfolding of Orton's order to surrender tbeir tele crams to Tyner and Chandler, and tbe removal of bis own compromising messages by the man Brady serve to demoratrate. To bold the gang to gether it wi necessary to make the plunder go round in proportion to the 'larger and desperateueas of the service tendered, and political rewards, weie given to every tool of the party whose demand for money coul d not be met. liven the thievish messenger Bullock, who helped Brady abstract his own dispatches and temove the property of the not too reluctant Telegraph Com pany from the Senate Committee room, was made Consul to Cologne. Tbe ex tent of the knavery, tbe methods of concealing it and the rewards it brought are being gradually exposed. "Turn n the light,' That genial gentleman, Mr. Davis, of Catawba, has greatly at heart the extension of the Carolina Central Kail Read from Lincolntoii to Hickory in Catawba county.

For the abjve interesting collation we are indebted our an industrious and indefatigable Coram issiooer of Agri culture, Col. Polk. Col. Polk is a true North Carolinian and we; like him. The Initialization of Afew uienU, The remembrance is fresh in the minds of all intelligent persons of the abuse put upon Virginia and Tennessee by their Northern creditors in connec tion with the efforts made by tboee States to adjust their indebtedness. Their honesty was questioned and it was said that their ability to pay was purposely misstated. Our State having failed thusfartto make any direct effort to piy or 'Jto compromise her debts has not been tuljct to much harsh criticism. Her creditors are waiting to see what the legislature will do, witbholdirg for the present auy expression of opin ion. Before proceeding to scale the indebt edness belli against us tbey naturally wish to know what our state is honest ly worth in the market. This informa tion they can procure only from the assessor's reports and to make these more uniform and more truthful is the object of a bill introduced in the Sen ate by Mr. Alexander, of Mecklenburg, and which we hope will pass without material amendment. It provides substantially for the abo lition of township assesois, a body wholly unfit for the duties they are required to perform, and the election iuua 1 of one assessor in each town ship, who shall be furnished with blank returns that are to be filled and sworn to by every tax payer In the township. These returns the chairman of the Board of Couuty Commissioners shall revise and after such revision the full Board of Commissioners with four citizens selected by themselves as as sistants shall pass upon them as a final court of revisiou and appeal. Many acres of land in the West purchased from the State at the nominal cost of twelve and a half cents per acre have for years been returned for taxation as worth five cents per acre. It is redicu lous to suppose that such conduct escapes the notice of men, who bold our paper our legitimate, re cognized, value received paper we mean, and we say it with all possible emphauis. In a suit brought last year at Char to recover land damages from the C.C. R. R., it was proven that the price of property damaged had stood at one valuation for twenty one years despite the fact that Charlotte had grown from a village of 2,000 in habitants, to a town with 10,000 popu lation. The attention thus publicly called to the fact resulted in raising the assessment on the said property from $15 to $i5 per acre. Good judges here estimate that millions of dollars worth of railroad and coun'y roads the coupons of which were collected by National banks for the parties owning them, escape taxa- tidn every year. In Louisiana so fla grantly wrong is the system as to exhibit the startling fact that the single city of New Orleans is assessed at a higher valuation than is put up on the rest of the State. It was only the other day we read in a New York paper Mr. W. A. Van derbi't's oath before the tax assessors that he was worth in personal proper ty $0. It is necessary to add that this was an untruth; but it was an untruth told mechanically and after tbe fash ion. Mr. V. only des'red so avoid being considered exceptionally honest. That we have many such cases in North Carolina, differing in a degree only from Mr. Vanderbiit's can readi ly bo believed by any one who stndies the county tax books. That Senator Alexander's bill will tend to lessen the number of such cases we hope and believe. That they will be lessened is admitted by honest men the State over and when once we have made a fair showing of our assetts, we can not only reduce the rate of taxation and pay at loast five per cent interest on ouradjusted indebtedness, but we can forever put a quietus on the premium, which is now offered for dishonest tax returns and inculcate the great lesson so important to learn, that to be prosperous people must first make an honest effort to pay their debts. Pakadoxical as it may seem, there is such a thing as a Congressional Temperance Society: Its officers are: Geo. W. McCrary, Secretary of War, president; Judge Strong, of the Su preme Court; Senators Windom, of Minnesota, and Dawes, of Massachu uetts, Representatives Ballou, of Rhode Island: Bright, of Tennessee; Clatin of Massachusetts, and Phelps, of Con necticut vice-presidents; Senator McMillan, of Minnesota, and Repre sentatives Monroe, Brewer, Joyce, Vance, of North Carolina; Brigge, Norcross and Price, executive com- mittee. Rev. Dr. Chickering, secreta ry. The Society was organized forty six years a?o. Lewis Cass then, Sec Secretary of of War, was its first Pres ident. The 'society on yesterday adop ted a resolution recommending the formation of similar societies in State legislatures. The project of draining Angola Bay, an exceedingly fertile tract of land ly ing in the counties of Duplin, Pender and New Hanover, is again brought to the attention of the General Assembly. This time Mr. Lamb, one of Duplin's excellent representatives, introduces a bill askiug for convicts to drain the big swamp. The project is belived to be eutirely feasible and should com mand cousideration as an important Eastern improvement. The East, Center and West can afford to pool on the diffusion of the convict force. Mr. Lamb is representing a strong and in fluential constituency in the move he is making. May he succeed! Thk Hon. Daniel Russell is the true man to develope, Moore, Montgomery and Stanley, by having a Government, which takes two millions and a half from us every year, open a canal from Fayetteville on the Cape Fear to the Yadkin above the Narrows. At least let him have it surveyed. The charter passed in 1816-'47 by the Legislature authorizing this connec tion might be revived with permission to use convict labor added, and in this way State and National help could be given to develop a fine region. As apt illustration of the ruin wrought by the Radical ring rule in the South is given in the recent message of the Governor of Tennes see. After exhaustive research and mature deliberation he gives it as his conclusion that 'all of the property purchased with the proceeds of the vast debt held against the state, except the capitol and the hermitage has gone into the hands of the Federal Govern ment, the bondholders and the rail roads companies; while the state has nothing but the debt and the obloquy resulting from her inability to pay it." Northern born residents of the South and ex-members of the Federal army, residents in the South, will meet in convention at Charlotte on' the 4th day of July 1879. Attention is called to Mr. Dumont's circular", elsewhere printed. We wish the movement sue cess. On Thursday the Secretary of State sent in to the Senate a statement of the fees received by him with the sum total of expenses in his office. They foot up for 1877 $3,059,70, and for 1878 12,902,00. The Secretary of State's salary is $1,000 per annum. Jersey justice dosen't go fooling 'round. The case of the ten corrupt officials of Warren county, sentenced to imprisonment for terms varying from six months to four years, is a good lesson, and it ought to be pro lific of good results. That cast iron retrtneher Atkinson obtained leave to go to Buncombe yes terday and has gone. The cause of the cheap will not suffer in his absence. We say the Richmond Dispatch, but the Norfolk papers say the "Wilming ton N. C papers." Wilmington is put down on all the new maps, we be lieve. Corresposdks rs tnust be patient.
