The Standard is still very much
troubled at the election of Gov. Gra.
ham from Orange County. Not even
the election Of Mr.. Bragg and Of large
majority in the Legislature, can atone
for the injury done TO his feelings By
the people Of that county. 1t calls
upon its friends for sympathy, and pro-
fcsses to get il from the Ozark Cor
ner." We hope it is satisfied with the
consolation, for as Tar as this matter is
concerned, it will get none other. The
people Of Orange county have chosen
Gov. Graham to represent them in the
State Senate, and all the " chickering's"
of the Standard will not avail it any,
thing to change the result. Can't
somebody do something to relieve the

prescribe the old remedies, for we fear
they have been used so much they will

COLONEL FREMoNT.-We learn that
this interchangeable explorer left Wash
ing a few days ago to embark from
New York in the steamer for Califor.
MIA, with the view of landing at San
Francisco and proceeding thence to
the Sierra Nevada, to fix, astronomi-
cally, the position OF the Pass which he
discovered in that mountain during his
expedition Of last winter. The results
Of that expedition we're publis he'd in
this paper, as drawn up BY the explor-
err himself, and great stress was laid
upon the discovery of this Pass, MS be.
ing excellent in itself, and north Of The
Walker aud the TETON Passes, and
therefore more in the straight line from
st. Louis to San Francisco, aud opens
ing directly into the rich San Joaquin
valley, near the southern gold mines.
Colonel Fremont judged that Pass to
be about latitude 80 /; but the import
ance which he attaches to it as point
in the central route to the Pacific
Ocean, induces him to go to it again to
fix its position with a precision which
the exhausted condition of his party
aud resources did not admit of when
he went through it. We also learn
that this expedition, like his two last
ones, has no connection with the CO.
yernment surveys, and receives no aid
from the survey appropriations.

fEDERALIsrs.-The vile impostare
practised by the democratic presses,
in calling their opponents Fstleraiists.
ought to make the leaders blush to the
bone, if there is such thing as a blush
to be fund among them. On no point
of political humbug are the people
more deceived than in this. The po-
liticiaDs know that there is no such
thing as Federal party in this coun.
try. When it did exist, it was the
purest party this or any other country
ever knew. IL they erre,l--and the
problem is not yet solyed--they erred
through patriotic considerations, and
not through criminal ambition. The
members Of that party were fresh from
the Held Of glory and the counsels that
asserted our independence. Wash.
ington, Hancock, Lincoln, Jay, Adams,
and a host of others, distinguished
warriors and statesmen Of the RevoIu-
ton, were Of that party--men whose
love OF country and devotion to the
Protestant Faith, and to civil aud re-
iislous freedom, was not and never can
be doubted.
Such is the character of the party
press. Il is not its design to eniight-
en- the public mind and obtain glori-
nus influence over the intelligent and
fhe Tree but to deceive, to cheat, to
mlslcad and to betray Ito keep the
masses in ignorance, as the best con-
dItlon far political managers.
We do not suppose, nor charge, that
all the leaders of the democracy are
guilty. No; a large majority Of them
r. not think sufficiently to watch for
the perils that attend party movements
md issues. They are blinded by in /
eresl ald tn. desire Of promotion

One Of the editors Of the Fayetteville 0bser-
yer, who is ut the North on business, in his
correspondence for his paper, under dates from
Philadelphia and New York Of the 10th and
2lst Of August furnishes some important and
interesting items. The following is an extract
from his letter from Philadelphia:
/" There is very anxious feeling in
money matters. Instead of the crisis
being over, as many thought, it is but
coming on, and sumo of the papers do
not hesitate to predict troubles equal
to those Of 1887.
1t behooves people who are too
much expanded TO look about them.
There is danger. The country has
oyertraded-liyed too fast. Many Of
the enormous rents in New York have
fallen 40 or 80 per cent. a $4,000 a
year store can now be had for 81, 900
to $4,000. And so on. Goods also
have fallen. especially woollens.
heard Of a sale al auction in New York
Of imported woollen goods at 81 to 60
cents, which not long ago commanded
81 so to 81 GO. This is ruinous Cot
ton goods have fallen also, but not in
proportisn. There have been several
considerable failures here and in New
York lately"
The following extract from the New York
letter contains a notice of valuable contri-
vance to protect travellers from the annoyance
of dust, which, if adopted by all the Railroads
in the country, would add greatly to the com
fort of Railroad travelling. The editor says:
al arrived here on Saturday night.
There was one thing quite remarkable
in that days trip on the Camden and
Amboy Rail Road. The weather has
been very dry, SO that the grass is ev-
cry where parched. and there is ALBUMS
dance OF dust; yet we were entirely
protected from it by canvass which de-
scended from the bottom Of both sides
and ends of each car nearly to the
ground, thus combining the dust under
the cars, instead Of allowing it to rise
in clouds and fill the cars. Those who
have travelled on Rail Roads in dusty
weathcr-and who has not i--can ina.

a contrivance. When We got to New

cover through the dust the original co.
lor of our clothes, no one could have
told that we had been travelling at all.

county. On the road, soms difficulty sprung up

him away, and mirkeJ, in a jpculir manner,
that he had nothing against him, and wanted no.
thing to do with him. Wilson then drew his
pistol and presente! it; when Clayland caught
his hand and held it up, repeating the same re-
mark. He then LET go, and attempted 10 step
behind a screen standing by, when he received
the ball of the pistol in the left side, near the
heart. ClaylanJ made step OF two, fell to his
knees, and remarked to Wilson that lie had kill

mark, thew down his pistol, mounted his horse,
and fled. He was pursued by the Sheriff and
others, but night coming on he eluded his pursu-
ers, and al the last accounts nothing was known
OF his whereabouts.
Clayland was taken to his mothers room, at
Maj. kerr's Hotel, where the skill of the best
physicians was exerted for his relief, though with
but faint hope Of bis recovery. The range Of the
ball could not be traced with the probe, but il
