This witter i.i the anient fnend of Mr- Simmons and Senator Kan som, and accepts their statements as tree. Dr. Kingsbury is the de voted friend of Major Hale and Senator Vance, and will not join 'issue with them on questioua of fact of which they hae personal knowledge. Must we fallout on that account and hurl at each otb-r uncharitable and offensive innuendoes! No iudeec! We see things Irom diflVrent standpoints, and nt r her is compromised by his posi'ion. We use Dr. Kingsbury, for illus tration, because everybody kuows that he is a christian gentleman, and his fame is the common heri tage of his people. Now, this Simmons matter will soon be disposed of, and, Inwever it may result, the Democratic pir ty in Noith Caroliua must jrt to gether and direct i's euergies to the achievement of a grand victory in the approachirg campaign. So far is we kuow- there is not a member of the Democratic press of this good i, hi S'ate who is not en titled to the lespeet of his fellows. It" 'h- ; ue i!;o-e .0 ,t il;tT.-rent r.timo they should qait a profess ion that holds its honor above price and c. nuts no sacrifice too great iu the cause of justicj, vir-' tue and right m;o slow." It is no unusual tuing to hear our grave and reverend seniois say '-Go Siow.'' They mean that a youug man should not be precipitate, but should deli berately consider lefore be acts. All of which is rilit and proper. l!ut it will not do to st r.ke a slow gut and keep it. These are hus tling tunes, aud the fellow who oes slow will never get there. We take it that Mr. Cleveland was brought up under religious in fluences, aud very often heard those words oi caution, "Go slow, my boy." He was at one time con sidered ra'her last, but ihe fatherly injunction "go slow"' seems to te impressing him as a voice from the grave that he LMunot disre gard. At 'he gait the President in now going the administration will prob ably become democratic by the close of the uext ceutuiy. That is to say, by thaf time a majirity of federal offices would be hi Id by Democrats. Somehow or other somebody is making a mistake. The paople are of opitnoo that the time to go slow was prior fo and during the Chicago Convention. The con struction of the platform, and the mi:! n.t'ion of a president ial Candi da e were matters that demanded deliberation. 1: was then right to go slow bu: the moment the demo cratic ti ig went up bearing the name of Giover Cleveland, and covert d ali over with resolutions of deliverai.ee and reform, the time lor resolute action hid come, and the peop'e ": tilting the action to the vrotii," went w.i h a rush and elt-ctt-d C.'Vtlai.d w l r h a whoop.

But the Executive is not -he only Department that is going slow. The Legislative D partment espec ially the Senate takes its gait from the snail, rather thau the race-horse. With the most pressing demands for immediate action. Congress for months postponed the consideration of tariff reform, and when at last the Ways and Means Committee commenced the consideration of tie Wilscu bill, alarmists were constantly sounding in their ears, -'go slow," and the ;i . - ; ! .i f ,1-icr. iiOt .

Vance has at last spoken for him self iu a letter which tills about half a column of the average newspaper. He declares himself opposed to Simmons and gives his reasons He alleges that Mr. Simmons went to Washington and inter- fered in his appointments, and by this in- terference defeated Gudger whom Vance recommended for collector in his own district and secured the appoint ment of Kope Elias, over Gudger. He gives as a further reason that Simmons opposed his recommendation of Hale for a Foreign appointment widt h was virtually secured and which was higher. than any given in the State. Senator Vance says that Simmons in this oppo j sition used i.is influence as chairman of j the Democr.cM parly of North Carolina i The Senator savs lurthcr that for him ! sc" anc ' ms own authority he has filed no charges against Mr. Simmons but aside from charges that may have, been filed by others his position is hostility on account of the reasons given ubovc.

The Kearsage Sunk. Corvette Kearsage, which sank the Confederate Varship Alabama, foundered Feb. 2d. on Rocander Reef, about 200 miles off the coast of Nicarauga.
