Grant "1 be eoroiag one of intense and painful anxiety. Their advise haa not been aakedi they have sot Wa informed oftbc General' intention ; they haven't the alightest idea what coarse ha intends to panne ; and the political fu ture aeema to them, aa a matter of course, wrapped in impenetrable gloom. The main point of anxietjr ood of doubt la whether the General inteoda to take and follow the ad vice of the party, in his official action, or to set up for himeelf' follow the dictate of hi own judgment and act upon hia own en of justice and aoond policy." The Radicals took General Grant on trust, they forced themselves en him, not ha oa them, and they will have no right to com plain whan they find, aa we predict they will, that he choocea to be President of the coun try rather than of a party Rich. Whig. SENATOR BOBBINS' CA8E. We publish below the re marks f J udge Osborne on this case, mask in the Senate on Saturday last. The resolution and substitute referred to simply disapprove of the act of Senator Bobbin aa Improper within itself, but ac quit him of intentional wrong and express i ts has personal honor and ia- bear bad man had only to meet the attestation with corn and defiance, to have silenced his ac cuser. Bat. tee, the Senator from Bow aa, is a professing Christian. The plaud its of the world might have followed Man, bat be would have earned with blot the consciousness of a deep moral wrong. No worldly expediency, and no triumph ant vindication of himself, wonld have justified auch a course. For a moment la the new and embarrassing situation In which he was placed, be hesitated. Higb principle was tried by the strongest con ceivable temptations, and it is etcdbable to hi character that moral and Christian principle triumohed. The aebiect was one of reflection, of self examination, and ler- ventprayee, and the temptation of frowns, of mortification- of reproach were con quered by moral reaoladen and by the fear of Ood. After all Jkat had beau said and done, be went to the Committee, made the statement which baa been submitted to the Senate, and desired that tbo Sena tor from Caswell might be sent far to con tradict, or to confirm, his statement, as the case might be, under the circumstan ces, I tfeanb.

Of ourse, Mr. President I approach the dis cussion of thla resolution with great pain. The Senator from Rowan, baa been my intimate personal and political friend, and his public and private bearing baa ever at tracted my highest confidence. But, Mr. Piesident, these considerations must not Mind oar judgment as to die conduct oft using stronger terms of censure terms, they express the same idea, and I do not believe the public interest demands a harsher judgment. And the following proceeding oa the case were had la the Senate on Wed nee day, which show pretty clearly what it ultimate action will be. SPECIAL ORDER. Report of the Committee on Bribery.

We stated in our last the almost certain ratten, 8,400,00 illioos more than North Carolina baa paid in her most prosperous days. It is three millions more than the taxation of 1867 and 1868. It i an amount which the Slate wonld aiak be neath, which would be ruin to the who imposed the taxes, and to the people who paid them, or rather whose property rould be sold, in the fruitless attempt to collect them. 1 ha people would not sub mit, uuless a military force should go with the tax gatherer, ond that force could not be raised in North Carolina. lotton, Bwri y de- nrinclnle which thev will never surren mwl Klnrlnaw antlwirtrtr a4 I Laa ilrmllloUlVn sa whhivi ij wa j vwwhww I m ' I w over all departments of Government, and serially in McMillan' Magaxine, and to Prof. Jamas Roaocll Lowell la to have aa elaborate article iauhe new number of the Forth American Review, the appear of which ia still delayed by the care with which he scratiaises hia proof.

The Senator from ttowan, therefore, committed a grave error. It waa a departure from propriety which be lam admitted frankly, and no one more fully recognises the true principle than be. But, in bis defence, Mr. President, the Senator states that It waa an inadver tencedone openlywithout conceal ment, and therefore, with no fraudulent motive. All the circumstances show this to hare been the true character of the trans action. No Senator, who baa spoken on jib subject, seems io doubt it. No one, at imenteiujacjoh af a mnjnlent pur sould bavwedmmnted Ms reputation to the Senator from Caswell : a political ancnt, with whom be bad had no pre- acquaintance, and taken no seen- lins.t exposure, t or, in this ease, re was inevitable, and if there had hflaawammht aKnttt It Ka $tnaln tram Rowan made it absolutely certain by opp yrnus public debt would be increased to such an amount aa would ruin the people and de stroy the State credit. Wo now pro pose to offer Republican testimony to sus tain our opinion in the shape of an extract from the speech of Mr, Seymour, of Or van, In the House, in opposition U the appro- prmhom to Kaibroaat, dtc Mr. Seymour said, that if these bills pass It wonld bo a matter of indifference to him when they passed. He presumed that the House had had the matter long enough before it. What .he had .to jay related to all these bill, and not especially to the one immediately before the House I nave been requested, by friend, not to apeak open these measures, lest 1 might injure the "Consolidation bill.

For be had already voted for the per died in favor of two Senators who were excluded by the 14th amendment of the Constitution. His po sition and public coarse on this subject Was) Well understood- While, therefore, the act waa wrong, the active was not im pure, bat some considerations have been passed on thia subject in aa uncharitable spirit by the Senator from Henderson. It Is ta evidence that the Senator from Row an denied thia Iran taction after it became - the sabject of comment. Some deabt is throw over the fact arte whethei bis de nial want to the question of moral guilt, or to the denial of the fact. But taking it in it wont aaaeet. what bad the Senator to no but boldly to deny ft, confront and defy his sole accuser ? Who dees not k ho themselves, I cannot remain silent in the matter. If the members of thia House were convinced of the first of these propo sitions, I feel sure that they would defeat the bills. There are bat few hero who would voto to hwue bonds which they knew could not be paid. Such a vote would involve falsehood and dishonesty ; nevertheless. I fear that some are wilfully closing their eyes to the future. I such members to patiently follow through a few fact and figures. The old debt of the State ' was, on the 1st of Octo ber, 1867,. Additional interest to Jan uary, 1869, tdtFWe make the followlngextraet from one of Col. Forney's letter to the IFaaaV inglon Chronicle which we think will prove interesting to our readers. Colonel Forney seems to b anxious to djreet cap ital to this State, and especially to the western part of it, for investment. Ia this we wish him every success : ''Our first day' travel carried na into the wildest parts of North Carolina, and I have not, perhaps done justice to other counties, where better farms and better buildings, and a more athletic and intelli gent race prevail. This is certainly true of the route from Salisbury to fUleigh, and of the neighborhood in and aronnd Charlotte. A higher state of dvilixatioD in all classes is evident here, and yet it ia remarkable bow cheap land m offered ev erywhere, even in these quarters, In view or the fact that every moment ia proving North Carolina to be as rich in natural re source as any other State Her cotton tobacco, tar, turpentine, timber, rosin and her mineral resource known, bat a yet not even partially veloped sources of almost wealth. . ,t Seme of the prices asked and paid for good farms in the best neighborhoods where such a thing aa a hard winter ia never felt, and where nothing but enlight ened agriculture i necessary to produce extraordinary crop and profits,) will star tle our orttieni peonie. wV" Pld friend Hon. Barton Craige, of Salisbury, who, notwithstanding our strong differences In politics, I found giad to meet me, and who, I was happy to aee, is generally re spected by the Radical Republicans, h just sold a fine farm of one hundred an fifty acres, within a few mile of Salisbu ry, for fifteen hundred dollars to a gentle man from New Jersey. Hr. Craige, while deplonng the circumstance which com polled him to sacrifice it, declared that the property would be worth, from fifty to sixty dollars an acre within a few years, if properly managed by it new owner. One of the best of the famous sulphur springs, with good building and out-houses and a thousand acres of laud, ten miles from Hickory Stat ion, on the Western N C. Railroad, can be purchased for three thousand dollars ; and the Piendmont Sul phur Spring, near ihe adjacent Orandfath er and Grandmother mountains, the cele brated Blowing Rock and Table Bock, is offered at the same figure. These have long been fashionable snmmer resorts, and contain ample accommodations. An other estate near Charlotte, a fine planta tion, baa just changed handa at a price that would scarcely pay for the buildings five thousand dollars.

Fourth: 'The separation and proper independence of the executive, legislative, and judicial departments, as provided bv the Constitution." Fifth : "No privileged classes and no privileged capital. Sixth: Ces wavy in tne ao- ministration of the Government. And seventh : Taxation of Government bond. How different that platform from the clear and unequivocal utterances of the party twelve months ago, when no language could be foand strong enough to express their detestation of the measure Inch the Radicals had adopted for the humiliation of the southern whites and the elevation of the negro T We should indeed lean upon n broken read if we should hereafter rely upon the Democrats of the North to relieve aa from the op eration of any measure that Congress may for the reconstruction of the eontli- te.
