The RIGHT OF SEARcH.-At dinner on Inde-
pendence Day. at the London Tavern, given by
Americans, Mr. Dallas, the American Minister, was
present, and was called out by toast. Among
Sother things he said:
There was point connected with American
diplomacy on which he would say word or two
They had recently had some little difficulties on the
American coasts and in the West India SEAS and one
of the miltiamen of the United States diplomacy bad
recently been charged with the negotiation of those
difficulties. That point essentially connected
with the fundamental principles of the American
Revoution-the maintenance by great people of the
independence of their flag. [Cheers.] He would not
60 into the arguments on the question, which had
been argued and re-argued; but he looked on the
fourth of July as an appropriate day to announce to
his countrymen that the claim of visit and search of
vessels sailing under the American ag on the high
seas, in time Of peace, had been frankly and finally
ended. Loud Cheers While he was able to an
nounce that gratifying fact he thought it might be
accompanied by the assurance that the termination
of this question, for which they had struggled for
nearly half century, had been brought about with
degree of honorable and fair feeling the part of
the English government, and with full acknowledge
ment of that feeling on the part of the government
of the United States''

The following letter from an intelligent friend, will
place readers in possession of the condition of
things in Gran,ille:
OxFotD, July "a, 1868.
GENTLEMEN: Would you believe it, that just on
the eve of the election the Know Nothings have
nominated ticket in Granvillep A party of them,
about twenty, met to day in the Court House, and
formed themselves into committee of the whole,
and appointed a committee of nine Know Nothings
to select candidates to represent them in the Legs
lature. And who do you suppose they are? Why,
N. E. Cannady, in the Senate; A. W. Venable and
James Amis in the Commons, and they express
themselves satisfied with one of our candidates for
the Commons, Edward Lyon.
have no doubt this is intended by Mr. Venable's
pretended friends the closing of his political
life. This movement is intended to carry Venable
and Cannady so far beyond the pale of Democracy
that they can never return.
But have heard several gentlemen of the Know
Nothing party express their indignation at this
movement, and declare they will vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. 1t has strengthened the Democracy.
We were all getting cold, having no opposition; but
the old fame of fity-tw has been kindled, and you
may look Cor by far the largest vote for Democracy
this CO has ever given.
Mr.. L all we could ask. He only differs
with the tie platform in one rcspect-,hat is.
he believes It Constitutional to divide the public
lands, but Ii = Utterly opposed to it, and will not
vote for Dis,rlbutonist for United States Senator

Good News from the Mountains !


Our intelligence from the mountain counties is

AVery's election to Congress over Mr.. Vance, by a

Judge Ellis has won the good opinion of the peo-
PIE generally in the West, and will be warmly sup

ola line Wings. He will reach this Congressional
district with majority which will crafty his friends
and surprise his opponents.

Good News from the East.

We make the following extracts from some of the
many letters We have received in relation to the
Gubernatorial election. A friend writes US as fol-
lows from Martin county:
"Gov. Bragg's majority in this county two years
ago was 800. You may rely on 500 for Judge Ellis.
do not believe Mr.. McRae will get ESQ votes in the
county. Ellis is good for 800 at least Mark the
prediction"
We beg the Registers special attention to the fact
that Martin is in the "tax-ridden" East. What
soU that paper d. if the people should conclude, by
electing Judge Ellis, that they are not "ruined?"
Another friend writes US as follows from Ply
mouth, Washington county:
"John w. Ellis will receive the largest vote in
this county that has been given for any man of
the Democratic party. McRae will not get the first
Democratic vote in this county"
friend writes us as follows from Chatham:
"Huzza for Democracy and Judge Ellis! From
my observations do not think Duncan X. McRae
r. has friend in this county, though he will get a
good many Yates He has not the confidence of any
body politically, and will only get such as could not
be induced to vote for Democrat under any cir
cumstances I was in Fayetteville the other day.
His votes will be few and far between in that place.
That will do. The cid Democratic spirit is in mo-
tion and the piebald opposition will be scattered
before it. In less than two weeks Distribution will
be as dead as Sam " ever was. And what will the
opposition do next? 1t will 60 into chronic de-
cline "-shed its present skim and come out the
same snake, but snake Of another color.

Of Gen. William F. Gordon, at his residence in Able

with his son. when feeling faint he requested to be

He was the original mover Of the sub-treasury bill

Rae's remarks in the mountains in relation to the

in the East, not to drive the people from its support
but to render them prudent in their calculations,
and prepare them to carry out the work if the cost
should he greater than the Engineers estimates
