We learn, from friend just from Raleigh, that
the vote was taken upon the contested seat Of our

we anticipated, by an overwhelming majority in his
favor.
As was expected, Mr.. Moore made an able defence
for his legal qualifications as Legislator, and we
now predict that his voice will be heard and his in

see him fail in his membership in that body.

Allegheny County.

We cordially concur with our friends of the West
Sentinel in the following remarks in relation to
the proposed County of Allegheny. 1t is indeed
hard that the Western people, many of whom know
the State government only as it approaches them for
taxes, which expended elsewhere and never
among them except in rare instances, should be de-
MED the privilege of erecting CourtHouses and 9TH
er County buildings with their own money, so as to
render the administration of justice among them
selves more convenient and more tolerable than it
now is. ''Let justice be done, though the heavens
should fall" The East has the Senate, and the
West has the Commons and surely, surely no risk
can be incurred by Eastern gentlemen in allowing
new Counties to be formed in the West, where the
population is sufficient to justify the formation pro-
posed. The face of the country, and the condition
of the roads in many parts of the West are such as
to render ten miles of travel there equal twenty
in the East. Besides new Counties will not be en-
titled to members of the House until 1872 but will
continue to vote as heretofore with the Counties
from which they formed In 1872 another ap-
portionment will have to be made at which time, it
is true everyCounty will be entitled to at least one
member. But who can foresee what 1872 will bring
forth?
We submit these observations with all Difference
and respect for others, and certainly with wish
to reflect upon offend any one. The Sentinel
says:
1.-The bill proposing to establish new County, by
dividing Ashe, to be called Allegheny, has passed
the House of Commons, and is in a fair way to be
carried through the Senate.
We sincerely hope that this measure will meet
with success. The immense scope of territory en-
braced in Ashe county, the number of her popula-
ton, and the almost nsurmountable barriers with
which her people have to contend in getting to
Court, all call loudly for division to be made and
new County to lie established.
Allen Gentry, Esq, the able and attentive Repre-
sentative from Ashe, deserves great credit for the
energy with which he has carried the bill through
the House,

THE question of law involved in the discussion
may be summed up thus: Was population an indis
pensabe necessary in the establishment of new
ties; Has the Legislature power to establish coun-
ties for municipal and local purposes without regard
to representation and if the Legislature has the
power to erect and abolish countless has it not the
power to restrict and restrain in their establishment
Mr. Edney denied the first and maintained the sec
ond and third propositions, and Messrs. Pool and
Donnell were opposed to Mr.. Edney's views.

Mr. George Ashmun of Mas. is understood to
have testified before the Investigating Committee
that he received $4,000 of the money paid through
Walcott BY Lawrence, Stone & Co. to lobby agents,
and perhaps to Others to influence the acton OF the
last Congress in favor Of the WOOlen manufacture.
1t is understood that Mr.. Store has testihed that
be paid some Sc, 900 to Mr. David NJ. Stone OF fhe
Journal of Commerce for services in getting up sta
tistcs, dOcuments &c. in favor OF Free WOOL 30
We have good beginning at last, and We trust the
whole mystery is on the eve Of being unrayeled.
To be sure Sl2, 900 is but small part of S37, 900;
but here is an entering wedge; and French pro-
verb says, lit is the first step that costs II AT
least certain-if the substance of Dir. Aahmun's
affirmative testimony is correctly given aboVe-that
Wolcott did lot put the whole $58 900 ntrusted to
him into bis own pocket as has been currently sur
missed
We believe Mr. M,tteson's testimony is distorted
in the accounts current in Washington letters. He
did not contradict Mr. Stone point blank but con-
frmed the testimony Of the latter in many partcu-
ars. He is understood TO have testified that ne
did call on Stone at the counting OF the latter,
to confer with him on the ways aud means OF effect
ing some alteration in the Tariff favorable to the
Woolen interest; that Dir. Stone informed him
that he was already at work in the cause-that he
had secured the active cooperation OF The Journal
If Commerce. and that certain Know Nothing
lodges had likewise been Induced to pass resolves
in favor of such charge as the Wooen men de-
sired. Hereupon Mr N. pooh-poohed the above
as ridiculousy inapt and inefficient, insisted that
The Journal of Commerce was unread aud without
influence in the Rural Districts, and suggested the
prOprety of enlisting and stimulating the services
of THE TRIBUNE aud The Times. Dir. Stone,
We believe it is agreed on all hands did not
act on this suggestion-probably because he
knew it was unauthorized, and any action in
accordance with il would be repelled BY those with
whose names Mr. Matteson had taken such unwar-
rantable Liberties Indeed, il would seem that Mr.
Stone and those for whom he acted declined to
have any dealings with MattesOn in any way, so that
the other can hardly turn up 8 recipient of any
part Of the Se7 ,0OO But who did get the odd
$75, 900 Of Ill How much did WOlcOtt pocket
Did any 20 into the pockets Of Members of Con-
sress7 Let US have all the facts. If nobody had
any of the cash that shouldn't have had it, then
nobody can suffer harm from the fullest publicity.
II is understood that the Fort Smelling and
ThrCgg's Neck investigations are both going on
pro.perousy and hopefully, and that the develop
uents IN either case will be staggering The fact
that The Herald has 8 letter or dispatch every
other day asserting that thers Is nothing in either
case, warrant. the belief that there 10 good des

An extraordinary degree Of sensibifty is mani
tested by the leading organs Of the Administration
over the accident which recently befel the Army
bill in the Senate. The defeat Of the bill We are
solemrly told is malignant " conspiracy against
.the Government and "a disunion movement Of
" the most repulsiye description" The dsunicn
bugbear has hitherto only been brought out to serve
the shareholders and promote the spread Of their
favorite institution But now it is ruthlessly
dragged from iss depository to terrify US on very
common occasion. We submit that this is making
use of valuable adjunct in quite too miscellaneous
q manner. We pray gentlemen will let modest
legislators vote on small matters without terrifying
them By go dreadful scarecrOw. The next thing
se shall know, dpunion will be threatened on q
motion for adjournment. And then what is 70
become Of US!
The Border Ruffan journal Of the commercial
circles in this city is very prompt in It's response
to that opposition TO the increase of the Army
which is based on the idea of forcing the troops
out of Kansas. II speaks as follows:
I'VE should hspe for the credit Of our country and
ofthe Senate. that the number Of thoee who 30 not
d, sire that the Mormon rebellion should be suppressed
/. exceedingly small. That those who have sympa
in Ksnses. should Try to force the Government 10
withdraw the troops from that Territory, so .hst
