Hen. John s. PhelpS.

The name Of this gentlemen has been
mentioned favorably in connection with
the nomination for Governor BY the Dem.
ocratic press throug ghout the STATE. Ills
standing is we'll known in Missouri, hav.
ing. beon many years in public s,rvice,
and there is no doubt, If nominated, that
he will command large vote in North
Missouri, while it is evileut that no can
didats could carry such heavy mnjorties
as Gen. Phelps in the South and South
west counties. Even his political orpo.
nents, who know him, speak highly Of
him. The Linn MOI Democrat says Of
him:
While on the score Of availability be is
certainly second to none, bu', as We be.
lieve, combines rare elements Of strength.
General Phelps unques,ionahly possesses
all the elmcn,s OF peculiar qualifications
an itness-and more, too, we believe,
than can be foind in any other one man
within the broad confines Of Missouri.
His long public career. aul large and va T..
ried experience in official station, and
with reference to public affairs, generally,
regularly qualify him for the position o!
Governor OF Missouri--especially a, this
time. lie would not be new aud untried
in official position, or SO inexperienced,
naturally weak or verdant as to render
his election q hazardous adventure, at
best.
No! and God knows we have had
enough Of that If, indeed. not something
wor.e--while the tried integrity, high
honor. aud known unimf eachable char
acter Of Cen Phelps, scars far above the
low haun,s Of any mean suspicion.
Whilst VIC have observed in various
Democratic exchanges favorable mention
made Of Gen. Phelps, in connection with
the coming Democratic nomination for
Governor, We believe VIC Eave heard no
other choice indicated for that position
by any Democrat OF Osngc county; nor
would We he at all surprised il her dele

sent his deputy into The interior to arrest
three negro men against whom warrants
had bceu issued for stealing goods from

found the negroes, arrested them, and set
out on his return. On his way he was
met by crowd Of negroes, most Of whom
he knew to be from the vicinity OF the
pl ace in which hc had made the arrests.
As lie rode up one Of the negroes came
forward and demauded that the prisoners
be released. The Sheriff asked him very
quietly what was his authority. The nes

Both were arrested and left in charge OF
a citizen named Izlar, while the Sheriff
went on and recupturcd his escaped pris-

Izlar one of the negroes in Mr.. Izlar'a

Highly Unfortunate

In his letter to the Hon. I. N. Morris,
written on the Goth Of January, 1854,
Gen. Grant says:

in my power 20 be the next President.
This is the last thing in the world do.
sire: I ,oOald regard such consumma.
tion a. being highly unfortunate for my

When Grant wrote the above 10 1864,
he was right that bis election to tho Pres.
dcncy would BE- "h,ghly unfortunate" to
himself, IL not for the country. This 10
~ true now az it was then. Should he
be elected, IL undoubtedly would be un.
fortunate to the country. He has put
himself completely into the hands Of the
destructiouists who have been running
the Government to destruction as fast %
possible. He would do their bidding,
and 10 doing il he would injure the coun.

Col. Sey nor Q IN Nor.h Carolina.

Col. Thomas II Scymore's address be
fore the North Carolina University was
the occasion Of such an expression Of
popular esteem as no person ever before
received in North Carolina, and such o.,
We arc sure, will interest his numerous
friends at home. We quote from the ac.
count published in the Wilmington Jour.
nal:
On Wednesday morning tho ora.ion
before the two societies was delivered by
the Hon. Thomas. II. Soy more, Of Con
necticut, who was introduced to the audi
ence by Mr.. +. II. Busbee, in one OF tho
neatest aud most appropriate little
speeches it has ever been my pleasure to
listen to.
Col. SeymOre was the prominent fea
turc Of the occasion. Everybody was ca.
ger to hear him. Students and citizens,
villagers and country people, women aud
children, all crowded up to Get u look at
the man OF whom they have heard SO much.
His reception. wherever he went, was 30
warm, so cordial, and SO honest, that it
must have sunk deep into his heart. I
am an old "stager" at Commeucements,
but never have l seen any man received
with such spontaneous outbursts Of warm
hearted delight-Do, not even the most
cherished son Of our own State. As ho
came along in the processiou'Ao enter the
chapel where tie address was to be deliv-
cred, cheer after cheer rent the Dir. Al.
ways heretofore the entry to the chapel
has been made in profound silence.
! The subject matter Of the oration was
the Science Of Government. This il
neither tho time nor the place to enter
into an elaborate criticism OF an essay
upon such subject. 1t is sufficient tina:
during the whole hour Of its delivery a
tpin might have been heard to fall, SO
great was the desire, 80 perfect the atten
tion paid to the distinguished stranger
by both old and young. When it is re-
membered that goodly part Of the audi
cnce was composed Of the young people,
this fact affords the most convincing proof
Of the Difference paid to the speaker and
the interest be threw around . subject
ordinarily so little attractive to people
solely on pleasure bent. Again as the
Governor retired from the hall, tho audi
ence rose to their feet and remained stand

almost trembled with the reverbcration'
Of such torrents Of shouts as were nevel
