"Thc eHtire feasibility Of good road
across the Cascades in that direction,
with good opportunities Of grass and water
on the way, is beyond a doubt, Much de-
lay and suffering was caused last year to
those attempting to come through that

DESuNcIaTIoN OF FLLIBusTIRISG.--

18th instant, Judge Campbell called
the attention of the District Attorney
to the reports in circulation relative
to the contemplated INVASION of the
Island of Cuba by parties resident. or
sojourning in New Orleans and 9th

torncy whether the Grand Jury had
been cmpannelled, aud indicated to

natter should be brought before il for
investigation, aud such Interior steps

cessary to carry out. in letter and spir-
it, the proclamation of the President
To maintain inviolatc the faith Of trea-
ties. and to observe the amity usual
aud necessary among nations at peace
with each other.
Judge CAMPBELL, it is stated, spoke
with much feeling and energy on the
subject, and declared his willingness
TO keep the Count open during the en-
tire summer if it should be necessary
for the prevention of expeditions such
as he said were apprehendcd and de-
nounced bv the President. The short
address Of the Judge is reported to have
produced much sensatinu in court.

MIR. venab,c ON the standard.

F.
The STANDARD makes il On excuse for theft
rsde which i has uttered, that the rumor that
The editor had made application 10 Gov. Graham
for assistance in establishing himself at Raleigh
as Wing e.litor, had assumed an authentic
form through the columns Of tho liillsborough
Recorder. though !, Is fact that the existence
Of such letter had never hecn mentioned OF
suggested in the columns Of the Recorder. But
the charge was made q year ago. much mole
publicly than The Recorder could have made II.
The Standard win remember that in the last
Congressional canvass II attempted TO dictate TO
the Democrats OF the district who they should
vote Tor. and en,leavored 10 proscrilc Mr.. Vcna-
he. Very naturally Mr.. venathe fell Indignant
at this interference, and expressed himself IN not
very measured terms. How much truth was
mixed up in his dcnunciaiions we shall not PIE
tend to say but he made reference TO The letter
to Gov. Graham. Mr.. yenable is reported to us
as having said in Granville, and other places, in
alludng 10 the Standard. thai " he had hccn as
sailcd by low, vulgar, filthy sheet, whose cdi-
tor had no character TO lose, from the fact that he
had hccn too often in market. He offered TO sell
himself TO the Wings, Gov. Graham and others
--hu, they looked upon him as spoil, meat, aud
would not purchase. He then sold himself TO
Mr.. Smith and others, Democrats, with the un-
Outstanding that he was TO Willy his old friends
and companions; and, after the bargain, when
he asked what he was 10 do with his old piinci-
PIES he was told that if he could not forget them,
he must put them behind him." These are De-
mocraiic secrets, with which, perhaps, we should
have nothing 10 do; but the coarse abuse which
the editor has hcaped upon US would justify us
in making much larger quotations from the his
tory oil that campaign.

interference Of the standard


and "tIc Cliquc.''-Wc have believed
for some time, from the uncasncss indicated by
the Standards attacks, that an outside influence
would be brought TO bear to defeat Gov. tira-
hams election; and we have recently had proof,
satisfactory TO our minds, that the Raleigh
Clique" and the Standard are diligently engaged
for this object. During the last week we saw a
package Of not less than one bundled Standards,
containing an abusive and slanderous article in
rel a,ion 10 Gov. Graham, which had been sent
10 one person at this place for distribution-thc
postage upon which had been paid IN The city Of
Raleigh. We presume that copies have also
been sent as proiusely to other Post Offices in
the county. and that the expense Of printing and
postage is paid by the Raleigh Clique" This
interference with the election in Orange will not
avail The party much. The people Of Orange
have formed their opinions OF Gov. Graham from
a fall knowledge of his character. lie having lv-
