Entirely toa near Washington Citr to escape the infection. The Senate by a majority of eight ha9 decided to take jurisdic tion in the Belknap impeachment case. We have now got this bel(l) vreather by the (k)nap of the neck. Explanations seem to be the or der of the day. President! aspi rant Blaine scarcely gets out of one difficulty, before he is saddled with another. This time it bids fair to be a chill-blaine. Verily, there's no royal road to the white-house. Three Cheers for Virginia. As we expected, the Old D minion has again won a complete victory over the cohorts of radi calism and, in some instances, spurious democrats. Evsry city except Lynchburg elected conser vative tickets. And as the towns are the theatres where the colored voters "most do congregate" the vote last week presages still more glorious victories. Fcr Secretary cf State Major Engelhard- We see that the numberless friends of Mai. Josenh A. Enjrel- v A w hard, formerly of the Wilmington Journal, are urrrinsr his name for - 7 Ct a Secretary of State. The nomination of this jrentle- man by the Raleigh Convention would be but a beautiful and grate ful recognition of his valuable services to the party with pen and tongue since the war. It would be but a just tribute to his great merit and deserts, besides adding strength to the ticket. No man in the party would fill the office with more credit to himself and glory to the State. Explanation- The Editorial which appeared in this pa per of the 27th inst., in regard to ex-Governor Z. B. Vance, was written by myself in the absence of the Editor, "Dr. il. E. T. Manning, who is no way responsible for it. I make this explanation in justice to Dr. Manning. i S. Williams. May 30th, 187G. We are glad to see the above in the Roanoke News of Wednesday. We regarded the article as impru dent and not savoring of good con servative saltnes3. If Gov. Vance should receive the nomination for governor we would be in a pretty fix defending quotations in the radical papers from an orthodox conserva tive journal. How it Works in the South. Under the "Silver Bill" specie is gradually finding its way among us, aud is being gobbled up by ignorant misers and buried from sight and circulation. Under these circumstances the measure will work on injury rather than a benefit to our people. We have less money in circula tion in our Section than ever be fore, within our recollection, and if every silver half dollar a man gets is bagged and hid, then give us the shin plasters. A great many blind ignorramusses imagine the green backs will die on their hands like confederate money hence their de sire to lay Silver up. Figuring on Cincinnati. The political calculators are figur ing away briskly on the strength of candidates at Cincinnati. A Wash ington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune reaches this result Brig tew, 132; Blaine, 121; Morton, 83; Conkling, 92; Ilartranft, 58. This includes only thj delegates already l rm ii' i - cnoseu. j-ue Washington corres pondent of the Troy Times mak(8 this enthusiastic showing for Conk ling : New York, probably, 70, certainly G8; New Jersey, 10; West Virginia, 4; Virginia, 12; Oregon, G; Nevada, G; Missouri, G; Georgia, 13; California, 0; Fbrida, 8; Michi gan, 2; Rhode island, .8. Total, 149. The Utica Herald makes an enormous guess at the entire vote of the convention, elected and to be elected, with this result.: Blaine, 319; Morton, 11G; Bristow, 107; Conkling, 80; ZTartranft, 58; Hayes, 44; Jewell, 10. 14th June. On this day the Conservative State Convention meets in the city of Raleigh for the purpose of nom inating candidates for the various State officers and two delegates far the State at large to the St. Louis convention. We truly hope that every coun ty in the State has delegated as representatives tho purest, largest and most levelheaded men. Their work at Raleigh will be important beyond compare with any former convention. Delegates should put aside all prejudices and personal hostilities and keeping steadily in view the weal of our good Old North State vote to nominate our stron gest men. The fate of the CoDStitutioaal Amendments depends on this. The vital welfare ef the East depends on the amendments. So far as we apeak for this immediate section the East is not clamorous for posi tions on the ticket, though we have as able and eligible men as the State can boast. White men with us, almost to a unit, vote tbe conservative ticket. In Edgecombe Caucasian republi cans can be counted on the fingers. Then, we call on our Western brethren to redeem us from our thralldom. We will vote for your men, and only ask that you give us the Amendments, that we may have economical State and honest county governments. We can do nothing against the heavy colored majorities in our county elections. We must fain bear up under the most incompe tent officers they place over us. We only wish our Western breth ren could see and fully realize our condition vainly endeavoring to keep our heads above water under men in places of power and trust, who know as much oi political e- conorny and proper administra tion of public affairs as a sucking babe or a Chester pig. The East will be thoroughly aroused and poll her full strength. If the white men of the West will only do their duty, we can say of the radicals after the election, 'places that once knew them will know them no more forever.' We have this advantage in the coming contest, the election being general, nerthern money will be kept at home. .All depends on the State Con vention, the let it rise equal to the emergency. The Fayottville Gazett says : Last Saturday night Miss Alice McDuffie, a daughter of Dr. W. C. McDiffie, awoke suddenly, to find a negro man in her room, crouching near the bed, with his eyes intently fixed upon her, as if trying to ascertain whether or not she wa3 asleep. She was so dread fully unnerved that for same time she could mako no sound, but at last she screamed, when tho wretch leaped through the window and escaped. Owing to tho sho:k, the young lady has been in a critical condition of nervous excitement ever since. Fitzhugh and Belknap- Baltimore Gazette. It was discovered that Mr. Ham- bleton, clerk of on of the commit tees, had, with singular taste nam ed his child John Wilks Booth, whereupon the Republicans of the House fell into strong convulsions, and acted as though the whole Demecratic side of the House had bsen suddenly discovered to be ac complices in the assassination of Lincoln. Well, Mr. Hambleten was thrown overboard and sank in to the dark waters of oblivion. Then came the turn of Mr. Door keeper Fitzhugh. He was cona vieted of writing a silly letter, in flated with his own importance, to what he supposed was a confiden tial friend. That friend betrayed him and published the letter. It was caught at by the Republican papers with a bite like a pike. It was slightly altered as to spelling and idiom so as to enhance the comic effect, and it was the target of much small wit and large lectur ing. Well, Mr. Fitzhugh has fallen before their withering shafts of invective and ridicule ; and the Democrats have done wisely to get rid of him. We thank the Repub licans sincerely for having assisted us to get rid of two officials convic ted of bad taste and silly self-importance. But the Republicans have never returned us their thanks for hav ing performed the same offices for them on a hundred-fold scale both a3 to numbers and impor tance. So far from thanking us for unmasking Belknap, Bab cock, Schenck, and all the rest of the long and dismal list, they are very angry with us, call us hard names, and defend the criminals with all their might. We showed them that Belknap was cheating the out-post soldiers to buy dia monds for his wife and cheated the dead soldiers' of the war eut of the simple head-stones that recorded their naciea and where they fell. And the cowering .criminal, when confronted with hie accusers, con fessed his guilt and sued for merer. Well, the Senate is now preparing ajuugmeiib oi no jurisdiction, and Belknap has never lost caste for a moment, nor the confidence and respect of tree Republicans. And the Democrats have received no thanks for their pains. Second Congress District- Goldsboro Mtssengr, of Thursday. Vo publish to-day the proceed ings of the Congressional District Convention, held in this town yes terday. The attendance of dele gates, as well as the doings of the Convention, is highly gratifying. Every county in the District was represented. Henry R. Bryan, Esq., in explaining the object of 1 the Convention, kindled the fire of enthusiasm which Messrs. t. A. Woodard, C. S. Wooten and II. F. Grainger fanned into a flame, we might say, sublime conflagration. The proceedings throughout were highly harmonious and enthusiastic, and the appointments made are first class in all essentials. lion. W. T. Dortch, Dr. II. E. T. Man ning, principals, Geo. W. Blount, Esq., iZenry R. Bryan, Esq., al ternates, the delegates to the of Louis Convention, possess all the attributes, desirable, while it would be difficult to find a standard bearer for elector more gallant, more true, more cansistent, or more devoted than our friend, John Wooten. Esq.. ot Lenoir. He is the right man in the right place, and the result of the election will vindicate the wisdom that dictated such a happy and distinguished choice. It was deemed inexpedient to put in nomination a candidate for Con eress froia the Congressional Dis trict. The Chairman appointed as the Executive committee, II. G. Williams, of Wilson, chairman, T. L. Emry, Halifax, Fred. Phillips, Edgecombe, J. A. Pridgen, Lenoir, Benj. Askew, Jones, Thos. Mason, Northampton, Jas. A. JJiyan Craven, A. J. Galloway, Wayne Dr. John Harvey, Greene, and II S. Foote, V arren. On motion, the chairman II. R Bryan, Esq., was added to the Ex ecutive committee. The Democrats of this District have made a good start; let us keep the ball in motion. Figures will not Lie. The Legislature of 1SG8-'G9 cost in per diem 17G, 120. Special sessions of 1868-'G9 cost in per diem $95,000. The Legislature of 18G9-70 cost in per diem 159,4G0. The Legislature of 1870-'71 cost in per diem $97,750. The Xegislature of lS71-'72 cost in per diem 03,750. The Legislature of 1872- 73 cost in per diem $G8,000. The Legislature of 1873-74 cost in per diem 01,200. Figures do not lie. The Legis lature for the two years ending November 1870, which was itrong ly republican, ccst the tax-payers $400,580 nearly half a million for per diem of members alone, to say nothing of the $9,000,000 stolen by radical rings such as, Littlefield & Co. The democratic Legislature for the two years following cost the people $171,500 and for the two years following only $129,000. In other words two years republican rule cost $400,580, while four years democratic rule involved an expense of only $300,700. Here is demo cratic reform clearly demonstrated by facts of figures, which require no further arguments. One of the new amendments to the constitution provides that the Legislature is to meet on the first Wednesday after the first Monday in January next after tho election, instead of the tlr'rd Monday in November as hwetefore. The resasons for the change are obvious to any one familliar with the course of legislative bodies whose sessions cover the Christmas holideys and New Year following. There will be no need for any holiday recess, and this saves money to the people, Another amendment provides that the per diem and mileage of the members shall be only $4 per day instead of $5 and $7 as heretofore, and that the mileage shall be put 10 cents per mile instead of 20 cents as now, and no member can draw pay longer than sixty days during his two years' service as a legislator. Undjr this change, if the amenaments are adopted, no rrgular session of the Legislature can hereafter cost more than $14, 000 for per diem of it3 members, when under radical rule it cost tho State $400,580 and under the presi ent constitution can hardly be re duced below $100,000. By all means thjn, let the amendments be ratified. Goldsboro Messenger. Views of Eon. Sen H. Hill, of Geor gia. Baltimore Gazette. Mr, Hill said : 'I do not know if it is proper fsr me to express any views upon the subject of the en suing presidential election. The people of the South recognize the sensitiveness of the public mind of the North in regard to the active interference of the South in politics. While this is but natural, it i3 do ing the South an injustice, as she is on an equality with the other sections ef the country, and has the same duty to perform. The Sonth has abandoned slavery, secession, and all her other old ideas, and desires a cordial reunion, peace be tween the race3, and desires also the advancement of the colored man. The people ask of the party in power equal constitutional rights and no more. They do not want to re put in any other position. They desire to support the national sen timent. We prefer that the North ern Domocracy should select the candidate. All we hope is that he will be a good, sound, constitution al man, who will do justice to all men, to every race, and who will ask no favors nor inuuigo in any extravagances. About all things we desire reconciliation and revision. If the Northern Deraocrscy should bo so divided as to be unable to agree, then the South must decide it. Her delegates will endeavor to do it in such a manner as best to contribute to success, as we regard the question at issue in the appro aching election the preservation of our constitutional system. Tilden, Hendricks, Bayard and Thurman are all acceptable to us, but we prefer the strongest man. We hope that the JNorthern Democracy may be able to select a man of whose national sentiments there can be no deubt. Wc expect great sensitiveness en this question on the part of the North, and we in tend to show the JNorthern people that we will be loyal. I am rep resented a3 an extreme man. Such has never been my reputation at home. I cannot admit that the entire Southern people are crimi nals, but I am as much devoted to our constitutional form of govern ment as any other man. I did not wish to speak, but 1 was compelled to defend tho South. I was brought into the debate by a wicked assault upon our people, who for ten years had been unjustly accused and mis represented. I would have bcu glad had no dead issues como up, but I would not admit that at least one-third of the people of this coun try were criminals. Oar difficul ties were aetcled by war, as reason ing could not settle them, and it is manly and religious for us to accept the fact. The Republican party is a sectional one; its hsitory is sec tional; it is itself one of the featnres of the war which it is necessarv eo get rid of. Whether its work has been patristic or not is for the world to judge. The currency qu3 tion I look upon as a subordinate one. Restore honest government, the currency will adjust itself and soon be all right. It is to be hoped that the matter will be settled at St. Louis without division and with- 1 1 . t .1 out uiYision ana without trie in terposition of the South. If so, the entire Southern vote will be cast for the nominee. Tho South recog nizes there is a new era. Formerly she had slavery and abstractions. The next centurv she will work out her destiny with free labor and good, hard sense. I regret my speech should have been misinter preted, as I am fjr the Union un der the Constitution ind the laws, as are my people, and I hope that the time is last arriving when the only difference between the geo graphical sections of the country will be as to which shall be fore most in devotion to our common country. The time must come when the people of the North will better understand the people of the South, and then the proper fra ternal feeling will be restored never to be again interrupted.' Mr. Hill spoke in an earnest and forc'ble manner, and was evi dently most sincere in every utter ance he made. ticket composed of Tildeu and Thurman would be the most power ful in America, if the ambition of friends could make the necessary concessions. It is clear that New York, with her five millions oi Deo- " A. pie, is indispensably necessary to a Democratic victory; and if Ohio should aid with Thurman, cr Mis souri with Broidhsad, for second place, the nomination would strike terror into the disorganized ranks of the republicans. Louisville Courier Journal. Our "Washingon Letter. Washington, D. C, May 29 th, 1870. HOW IT WILL BE DONE AT CINCINNATI. A newspaper friend of "our Jim," as he is familiarly styled by his ad mirers here, who ia going to Cincin nati, gave me an insight into the manner in which his favorite is to ba nominated. "In the first place," said he, "wo will probably be 6trong enough to control the organization of the convention ; in other words, we intend to elect a Blaine man as Chair man of the convention. In the course of his speech at the opening of the convention, ho will, of course, make an 'innocent' allusion to the dill'erent candidates, naming Blaine first. Then the fun will b'ogin. We will imme diately set up the cry for 'Blaine 1' 'Blaine !' 'Blaine !' Cheers will be given by his ftieadj, aid the tumult and cries for Blaine will last ten or fifteen minutes. This will be dona to got up a popular furore for our can didate, and to influence the votes cf jyavering candidates. These demon strations will be kept up during the first day of the convention, and after the latter adjourns, Blaino's friends will go to work among the delegates, and, by the next day, will hav se cured enough votos to nominate him on the second, and possibly on the very first, ballot." In other words, Blaine will have a small army of cla queurs in the convention who will endeavor to secure his nomination, willy nilly. But, as Robbie Burns says, "Tho bast laid plans of mice and men eft gang agloe." THE ST. XOPIS NOMINATION. Among the many reasons why tho Democratic party may look forward to success in this campaign is the feeling of confidence and determina tion everywhere manifested, both by the pross and by individuals. The usual show of opposition to this or that nomination i? heard, as a matter of course; but no member of the Democratic party has been found willing to put himself on record as declaring that he would not support the nominee of the St Louis Conven tion. It may be assumed as a fixed fact, that every true Democrat will vote the Democratic ticket in the com ing election. Local opposition, from personal and other reasons, will have no weight in the Convention, because after t& nomination is made, all such opposition will cease. Even in Ohio, where a bitter fight has been carried on between two wings of tho party, tho friends of Senator Thur man are pledged to the support of Gov. Allen, should he be tho nominee of St Louis. The question for the Convention will not be therefore; "Who can poll the full party vote?'' it will be : "Who can draw the larg est vote from th opposition?" The address of the Democratic National Executive Committee invites those Republicans who are dissatisfied with their own party, to join tho Demo cratic party in electing a President. The issue will be administrative Re form ; and it will become the duty of the Convention, while nominatiner a true Democrat for President, to see to it that he is the man who can draw tho largest support from the enemy on that issue. That the St. Louis Convention will do its whole duty in this respect, and that its action will be endorsed by the party, in every section, without question or quibble, is an absolute certainty. These ex prossions of confidence I base on the opinion of leading Democrats, with whom I have talked, from every sec tion of the country. In reference to local opposition, it should bo borne in mind that the talk against Gover" nor Tilden, in New York, comes from the same men who have opposed him steadily for the past five years. When he was nominated for Governor, they predicted his defeat by from 20,000 to 50,000 votes, and he was elected by ovor 53,000 majority. The same men asserted, before the Utica Con" vention met, that Gjvernor Tilden would not be the choice of that con vention. He was its choice by a unan imous vote. It is not strange that a few discontented politicians, and per sonal enemies, have been unable to effect anything against the man who has driven corrupt men from of" G.C6,icithoiit regard to party, and who has saved the people of his State nearly $8,000,000 in taxes in less than fifteen months. With such a record as that, no opposition could defeat Governor Tilden in New York, and no Republican can be named who can stand against him . THE PRESIDENT'S SALAUT. The Senate seems determined to gain credit for some little desire for retrenchment. Its Committee on Civil Service has reported back the bill re ducing the President's salary to $25,. 000, together with the President's veto, with the recommendation that the bill pass over the voto. It would be a pity if this measure failed, as i t is the only act of retrenchment which has originated in the Senate during the session. It should be remember ed, by tho way, that it was in this ve to message that General Grant show ed the surprising knowledge which so distinguishes him, and which cau ses hini to speak of the President's salary as "fixed ut the constitu tion." llOBESON. Secretary Robeson has written a letter to Mr. Whittborne, Chairman of the House Naval Committee, com plaining of the manner in which the investigation of his Department has been conducted ('. e the secrecy of the proceedings) and asking that he may be summoned to testify and ex plain the doubtful transactions. In reply Mr. Whitthorne says that his Committee will be placed to hear his (Robeson's) testimony, as also that of all other persons who are implicated in any manner in the frauds which have been discovered. Robeson's guilty participation in these frauds is evident ; yet, unlike Belknap, he has covered up everything with consummate Skill; and, in all prob ability, he cannot be lagally con victed, and will saddle his crimes upon others. ANOTHER VETO Br THE PRESIDENT. The first bill evtr passed over the veto of the President, passed both Houses the other day, and now ho has vetoed another, which will also pass when the roason of the Preeidont for withholding his signa ture becomes known. The bill last vetoed affects the present system of recording deeds in tho District of Columbia, and also the status of one Simon Wolf, who is Grant's Re corder of Deeds. The place is worth $15,000 a year, and was obtained by the present incumbent, a Hebrew, by the way, through personal service rendered by said Wolf in naming one of his children Ulysses S. Grant Wolf." The recent post-traderBhip investiga tion very seriously involved Wolf but his influence witn Grant remain ed undiminished. Everybody here understands that it was through his influeuce that Grant vetoed the bill affecting tha office of Recorder of Deeds; As before stated, the bill will be passed over theveto, when Wolf's agency becomes known to both Hous es. The Newborn Nut Shell says : The Baptists in Beaufort have had a large revival in their church and have won many souls to Christ and the church. The Methodist church in that town, under the powerful revival conducted by Rev. A. R. Raven, has had some 70 members added to its number.
