MONDAY, APRIL 81, 1885,
A resolution adopted requesting the Secretary
of War to transmit copies of all letters addressed to
him during the present year by Governor Stevens of
Washington Territory, respecting the existing diff
culties with the Indians together with all the cores
ponience relating to the hostilities in Washington
and Oregon, not heretofore communicated.
Mr.. Toombs, from the committee on the judiciary,

laws with recommendation that It should not pass
On motion of Mr. Adams the bill was made tie
special order for the 18th of May.
Mr.. Footc called up the bounty land bill, which

on the Kansas matters, and his tirmncss and con-
sstency in maintaining the rights Of the whole
country-knowingn no North, 10 Suu.h. The Pres
ident hal been abused AID denounced by the
Aboiitonists and by the Southern Americans; but
it was on exactly contrary grounds. He had dis
pleased the extremists on both sides, by occupying
middle grounds and pursuing course consistent
with the tights of both North and South. :
He showed, also, that so far from there being any
truth in the alleged "agressons Of the slave power"
the South had been, since the foundation of the
Government, yielding gradually to the encroachments
and usurpations of the North.
Mr.. Clay continued his remarks until after three
o'clock, when he announced that his health would
not permit him to finish what he had intended to
say, and that he would have the balance printed.
After executive session the Senate adjourned.

THE CANVASS FOR GOVERNOR.

The Register learns that Mr.. Gilmer "contem-
plates commencing the gubernaorial canvass in the
Mountain District about the first of May His list
of appointments, adds that paper, will be published
in ample time.
The ordinary courtesy, it seems to u.s. existing
between political opponents, renders proper some-
thing more from MIR. Gi.mer and his friends than
the above. If Mr.. Gmer wishes to arrange his cam
yass in such way as to call the Governor of the
State away from his duties at the Capitol after him.
something more than mere newspaper announce
ment of the fact would, of course, be expected But
is it, indeed, Mr. Gizmer's canrasss We think not;
there are two candidates for Governors and if It be
desirable that the candidates should canvass to-
geher, some mutual arrangement as to the appoint
ments should be made in Justice to both parties and
to the various sections of the State Gov. Bragg,
we learn, is ready to take the field and to occupy it
to the best of his ability up to the day of the cleo.
ton. He is anxious to meet Mr.. Gimer; but at the
same time his friends feel that they have right to
demand that Mr.. Gmer and his friends shall not
arrange the canvass and control the appointments in
their way, to the exclusion as on former occa-
sions Of the views and wishes on the subject of the
Democratic candidate
There is rumor here that Mr.. Gimer's appoint
ments in the West have already been made, no no.
tice of the fact having been given to his competitor.
Cherokee is the point it is said, where Mr. Gilmer
is to commence. If this be so, it is trick every
way worthy of the X, Ms; and moreover shows that
Mr.. Gimer is willing to be as distant from Gov.
Bragg as possible when he opens the canvass. The
fct that he commences in the West shows his APP
prehensions to the state of affairs in that region
He Wishes possible, to arrest the land slide there
to check the movement, by which hundreds of the
old line Southern rights Wings taking position
in the Democratic ranks. Besides, Mr. Gilmer can
have no wish to meet the Eastern people on the
stump. His rhite basis and revolutionary doctrines
would throw him constantly on the defensive in this
quarter.
We trust that our friends at every point where
MIR. Glmer addresses the people, will put US in pos
session of full and accurate accounts of what he SAYS
This suggestion is important one, and should not
be overlooked

Mr.. FILLMORE AND THE, POPE.

Mr. Fillmore. it is stated has received the news
in Rome of his nomination for the Presidency. His
admirers say that the intelligence had no visible ef
feet upon him.
Is it not strange that the nominee for the Presi-
dency of the anti Catholic party, should be in Rome,
the very seat of Catholic splendor and power, and
the guest of the Pope? His nomination reaches
him while there. His followers at home proclaim
ing the Pope the Man of Sin the head of all the
denominations of the earth, and solemny warning
the people against all Popsh Influences; and all the
while Mr. Fillmore himself is in Rome, received by
the Pope with "more than princely honors," and
occupying in state g. seat by his sde!" We find
in the Petersburg Intellgencer the following extract
from letter from Rome to the New York Herald:
"Of the special favor shown MIR. Fillmore by the Pope
have spoken in previous letter. where stated that his
holiness bestowed him more than princey honor when
he invited Mr.. Fillmore to take by his side. The
OF Naples had an extra train in readiness to convey
Mr. Fillmore to the royal residence and wherever else Mr.
Fillmore has set foot he received only with the
honors due to the exalted station he once occupied but
with that respect for the innate dignity of the which
no official position however hgh ensure unless coupled
with personal dignity and evidences Of high individual
character"
1t appears too, that Mr. Fillmore has been " dan
cling attendance" on the King of Naples-a Goddess
despot-a monster of tyrant, and disgrace to the
hui"oh law. luz, ue Is u AiuS,-uue, He DdS
"royal residences" and is clothed Tin purple and
fine linen" and fares suriptuously every day )"
yet he is known and proclaimed by all good men in
Europe as personally base and vile, and at once
monster in brutal passions and the scourgc of poor
downtrodden prlest-ridden nation. Strange is it,
indeed, that such as Mr.. Fillmore repub-
lican. by education and intense Catholc.fearing
Protestant-should become thus intimate with the
head of all Catholicism and should accept honors at
the hands Of the meanest and the most depraved of
all European monarchs. But so it is. Why or hoac
it is We know not Is the plain republican dazzed
by the splendors of the Neapolitan Court? Is he
thus easily lattered? Is he unmoved by the news
of his nomination, and yet eated when royal brute
comes forward to honor him? There are millions
of Mr.. Fillmorcs countrymen, dressed in coarse
clothes and tong for their daily bread, who are
infinitely superior TO this King of Naples. and who
much more deserving of his attention and re-
gard.

State Convention was held in Lexington, Kentucky,
on the 18th instant, and among its distinguished
members and Speakers ex-senator Dixon Be-
fore its adjournment an enthusiastic call was made
for Mr. Dixon to which he responded at some length.
In the course of his remarks he said
"He believed Mr.. Fillmore honorable man, had
dorse his administration and it true and
sound But if Mr.. Fillmore accepted the nomination ofthc
nothing ORDER he bound, honorable to
stand on their PLATFORM and become the exponent of their
sentiments In that event. he could not and would not sup
port him. But there a serious objection to Mr.
which he proposed to be the exponent.uponhe a-im
portant and prominent slavery question: True reference
continually made to his and that held
as sufficient comm.l all the issues arising out of that
question But when he turned to that ration, he
found the statesmen, Clay and Webster upon
either side of him, urging and influencing him in the ap
prevail of the ugtiveslave law That single act all
lie ever did, all his administration, to recommend him to
the confidence of the South and that act prompted as it
may been by patriotism he believed inconsistent with
his whole antecedent record contrary to his own personal
opinions and in violence his feelings He made to
take the step the influence of the great statesmen upon
whom he leaned for advice and support"
Mr.. Dixon was in the Senate during Mr.. Flllmores
term, and enjoyed his personal and political conf
dence. His opinions are, therefore, entitled to much
weight.
