United States Senators.

So On Tuesday last the Hon. Thomas L. Clingman,
of Buncombe, was elected by the two Houses of the
General Assembly to fill the unexpired term of the
Hon Asa Biggs, in the Senate of the United States
and the Hon. Thomas Bragg, the incumbent of the
Executive Chair. elected to fill the whole term
of SIX years, commencing on the 4th of March,
1869 49 .. .,. ... .rsr"
Mr. Clingman was appointed by Gov. Bragg to
fill the place made vacant by the resignation of
Judge Biggs until the meeting of the General As
sembly; and Gov. Bragg will succeed Gov. Reid the
present Senator, whose term will expire the 18th
of March next
s. We have heretofore recorded in the most emphatic
terms our approval of Mr.. Clingmans appointment
to the Senate and we have now to add our hearty
concurrence in the action of the party which places
him in that body during the mexpired term Of
Judge Bggs. Western North Carolina-we mean
that portion of the State west of the Yadkin and Ca
tawba-has not before had either Governor or
Senator since the adoption of the present Consttu
ton in 1885, with the exception of the present Gov
ernor elect. The election of Mr.. Clingman is act
of justice to the West while at the time it
tains in the Senate able and experienced states
man, vigilant and jealous co-operator with the
tional Democratic party, and a tried and iniexible
defender of Southern rights.
Gov Bragg, who has been chosen to fill the long
term, is able and practiced debater and sound
and reliable statesman He will bring to his duties
small experience in public life, and firm pur-
pose while true to the vital interests of his native
State to cooperate zealously with the only national
organization which protect the Constitution from
violation and thus perpetuate the union of the States
Gov. Reid, whose term will expire on the 4th of
March, has acquitted himself faithfully in the high
post to which he was called four years ago; and he
will carry with him in his retirement the respect and
the best wishes of all true Democrats.
Now that these elections over, and the wishes
of the representatives of the people have been Off
ciay expressed we trust that all ill feeling growing
out of the contest will subside and that party har-
mony will be thoroughly restored. Personal inter
ests and feelings must always be subordnated to the
good of the party Personal and private relations
preceding growing out of contests of this Sort
indeed out of contests of any Sort always in the
keeping of those who personally and privately
concerned; but they should never be permitted to
disturb the harmony or the progress of the party
which is so dear to us ALL and to which highest
loyalty next to that which We owe the State itself
and best service should always be rendered.

answer, fora misdemeanor charged se.inst thlm.
The Mayor stated that under tie suthosity vested
in him As justice Of the peace, he had issusd
warrant for the arrest of the parties ser reading
the card of Charles Irving, published in the Wing
Of Tuesday hst which he thought calculated tolead
to . duel Neither Of the parties howeyss, were
arrested that day, and the next morning he saw
card in the Enquirer signed O. Jennings Wise, dis
claiming any intention of engaging in . duel. In
the course of that morning, Mr.. Wise was brought
before him, and Is he was then under bonds to keep
the peace in the sum of $4,000, he did not deem it
necessary to increase the amount but recognized
him for his appearance on Monday, in the sum Of
$500, to answer for libel That night Mr. Irving
was arrested and held to bail to keep the peace and
to appear on Monday. The Mayor then stated that
anything said, written or published, calculated to
excite or provoke challenge, was q high misde-
meanor, and as Mr. Irving card was of that NATURE
he inclined to the opinion that he was liable to
prosecution for libel as was Mr.. Wise, for the pub
LEGATION made the succeeding morning After re-
ferring to various authorities the subject of libel
his Honor stated that his object was to protect the
peace of the Commonwealth. He wanted to ascer-
tam from the courts of record, if such publication
in the newspapers as those alluded to to be tol
Grated in this community, and the quiet and good
order Of the public to be disturbed by anticipating
street fights with pistols, where the lives of inno-
cent persons are to be endangered.
The counsel for the accused-Mr. Crump, for Mr..
Irving, and Mr.. VIM. H. Lyons for Mr.. Wise
could not see how prosecution for libel could be
maintained, when neither of the parties were com.
planning Where were the witnesses for the Com.
monwealth to make out her case? If the parties
were to admit that what each said of the other were
true, then there would be no libel Neither gen
tleman has made any complaint-no evidence has
been adduced to show that they were the authors o.
the publications to which allusion has been made
and until some witnesses were introduced to sustain
the charge, the prosecution cannot stand. If the
court anticipates street fight or breach of the
peace in any way let the parties be held for thei
good behavior A prosecution for libel is not 'tht
| way to effect that end. t---,
The Mayor stated that IS Mr.. Wise was already
under bonds to keep the peace he would requir,
Mr. Irving to give bail for his good behavior tn
sum of $4,000, which was readily given. For tn
libel, he would not now recognize them to answer
but should send the witnesses to the next Crane
jury considering, as he did, that it was due to tn
peace and the harmony of the city that he shoul'

probable the Postmaster General has taken the pre-
liminary steps towards forwarding the mail to San
Francisco by the Tehuantepec route in consequence
of the early arrival of the Quaker City at New Or

He has also issued an order for weekly overland

ANGER AND LovE.-Man has unfortunate read
mess in the evil hour after receiving affront, to
draw together all the moon-spots on the other per-
s'n into outline of shadow and night-piecc, and
to transform single decd into whole life, and this
only that lie may thoroughly relish the pleasure of
beng angry. In love he has fortunately the oppo-
Site faculty OF crowng together all the light parts
and rays of its object into focus by means OF the
burning glass OF Imagination, and letting its sun
burn without its spots but he too generally does
this only when the beloved and often censured be-
M already beyond the skies. In order, however,
that We should do this sooner and oitener, We ought
10 act like Wickemann, but only in another way.
As he set aside particular half hour of each day
Tor the purpose of beholding and meditating on his
TOO happy existence at Rome, SO we ought daily or
weekly to dedicate and sanctify solitary hour for
the purpose of summing up the virtues Of fami-
Lies, our wives, our children, and our friends and
viewing them in this beautiful crowded assemblage
o. ne!r good qualities. Indeed, We should do so
lor this reason, that We may not forgive and love
700 late, when the beloved beings are already de-
parted hence, and are beyond reach.-Richter.
