Gov. VANCE AND GEN. FITZPATRICK. -
Gov. T. B. Vance, of North Carolina, in a
letter dated Charlotte, October 18th, notices
the fact that General Fitzpatrick has decora-
ted him with his disapprobation before the
people Of Pennsylvania He informs them,
substantially, that he tanned the Governor
by capturing him and riding him two hun
bred miles on bareback mule. This tbs
Governor denies, and says:
II surrendered to Gen. Schofeld at
Greensboro, N. G.. May 2, 1865, who told
me to goto my home and remain there, say
ing if he got any orders to arrest me, he
would send there for me. Accordingly [

by detachment of three hundred cavalry

One Thousand Dollars a Minute.

Brick Pomory's new paper, the New
York Democrat, says Of the public debt and
and expenditures:
Week in and week out, month after
month, and year after year through the
busy hours of the day and the silent watches
of the night; observing the sacred rest of no
Christian Sabbath, relieved by the joyous
welcome, and jocund shouts of no social,
religious. or national holiday steady as the
measured, unceasing, beating of the chro-
nometer-
One thousand dollars minute!
For three consecutive years, which have
elapsed since the cessation of all armed hos
tilities between the States and sections of GU
country, have been wrung from the industry
of the people to carry forward the chimeras
of the humanitarian ''party of great moral
ideas''- 5..
Only think of it (! ,-a.
One thousand dollars minute!
No rest No intermission
It is truly appalling! And this only for
current expenses and interests on the public
debt !! 5a..e -... 49,.
Interest did we say? It does not pay the
interest! The debt goes on increasing
And such debt Its magnitude is al
most beyond the power Of human compre-
hension .-

Occasionally, however, questions of order
and conflicting motions pile up before the
presiding officer, Rev. DR.. Craik, with such
rapidity That he invariably looks round to the
south end of the church, seeking out among
the deputies there seated the intelligent eyes
of Judge Hugh W. Shelley, Of Virginia, by
many odds the best parliamentarian in the
whole body. Since his great superiority in
theoretical knowledge of parliamentary law
and its practical application in all difficult or
complicated cases has been generally acceded
to, the Judge appears to confne himself to
watching the proceedings closely, and when
ever the chair is doubtful how to decide, to
be ready with his suggestions upon the dis
puted point These suggestions arc always
followed by the Chair as if they were in
structions. Judge Shefey, in appearance,
looks more what is commonly understood by
the term s'Yankce-like" than southern; but
his clear eye. high rounded forehead, and
close and compact yetplain statements Of his
opinion, indicate high order Of intellect,

The latest reports Of the elections held
this month are more favorable to the Dem
ocracy. The votes in Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana were the largest ever polled.
In Pennsylvania, in vote of over 600, 900,
the I,a ideals have majority estimated at
not more than 10, 1000, while the Democrats
gain congressman, and three Radical con
gressmen have reported majorities of only
IS, IS and &c.
In Ohio the Radical majority will not
much exceed 10, 900. The Democrats gain
three congressman. The Jews voted the
local Radical ticket, but will not vote for
Grant and Colfax, so says the Cincinnati
Enquirer, which expresses great confidence
in carrying the State in November.
In Indiana it is still uncertain, but if Hen
bricks, Democratic candidate for Governor.
is not elected, the majority against him will
not reach 1000. The Democrats gain three
congressman.
In million and half of votes the Rad
icals have majority of only 1000, to Sc
cure which many voters were imported from
other States, which can not spare them in
November With the State Governments in
the hands of the Radicals and the Federal
patronage exerted in their behalf, and these
States gerry-mandered to secure Radical
Congressman &C., it is no little achievement
for the Democracy to show only $4,000 ma
jority against them in 1900, 600, and gain
ten members of Congress. s s
The Congressional conference judges of
the 21st Pennsylvania District have sent
in two separate certificates to the Governor,
one declaring Covode elected by 325 MAORI

Guloch received.a letter Saturday from a
lady in Baltimore. stating that she had been
informed that the interest on two cents for a
thousand years would pay off our public
debt She had not made the computation
and could not speak positively, but if this
is the case she could not see the utility of so
mgch talk about reputation when the pay
ment Of the national debt is only q matter Of
two cents and question Of time. She was
willing to furnish the principal for that pur=
pose, and accordingly enclosed two cents,
which she requested should not be deposited
to swell the conscience fund. but should be
placed at interest for the liquidation of the
public debt.

The Commercial Convention, which as
sembled in Norfolk during the past week
was an important movement in the right di-
rection. 1t was attended by about $500
delegates, from Virginia, Tennes see, North
and South Carolina, Alabama, Gcorg ia and
Kentucky. The initiative for line of trans-
Atlantic Steamers from the port of Norfolk,
was taken and large subscriptions made in
the Convention. A charter for the Steam
ship Company was found ready to their
hand
Steps, looking to the completion of Rail-
road lines in the South, to connect with the
proposed line of Steamers, were also taken
In fact it was an opportune movement, well
taken advantage of, and we should not be
surprised to see line of Steamers, at nc
very distant day, running regularly from
Norfolk across the Atlantic This is an i'm.
portant step in the commercial and agricul-
ural prosperity Of the South. May Go]

in the late State elections became known

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
FOR PRESIDENT,
HON. HORATIO SEYMOUR,
OF NEW YORK.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT
Gen. FRANCIS P, BLAIR,
OF MISSOURI

The result of the recent elections in the
States of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Nebraska has made a great many Of the Sey-
mour and Blair party Respondent as to the
result of the Presidential election in Novem-
Der. The hope Of Democratic successes in
these States, which vanished with the earli-
est kilograms received, is the occasion of the
dependency and not the actual summing up
of Republican majorities These show a
considerable decrease on the previous gu
bernational elections, save in Ohio, where
there is an increase from 8, 1000 to about Is,
600 majority. In Indiana the Republican
majority in the previous gubernatorial cleo
ton was over 20, 900, while in the late cleo
ton it is doubtful how the State has gone
in fact both Democrats and Republicans
claim the State by very small majorities-
While these States have gone Republican
generally, by decreased majorities, the Dem
ocrats have gained ten congressman.
In setting forth these facts we do not de-
sire to raise false hopes of success for the
Democracy in November, but simply to show
that they have fought good fight and that
there is no occasion for the dependency
which some exhibit.
There were, besides the mere issues of
parties in the late elections, many local is
sues introduced, which will not be brought
to bear in November. There will then be
other issues, equally strong. introduced, be-
sides the policy of the two contending parties
Then the Republicans will have to contend
with the hatred to Gen. Grant on the part
of our Jewish fellow-citizens, engendered by
his famous military order against them. In
these elections tits likely the Jewish vote has
been divided, but in the Presidential election
it is likely it will be cast en- n,asse against
Grant and Coifax. This is no small item
ard may turn the scale against the now jul
bilant party.
On the other hand the bold letter of Gen
Blair, which secured him the nomination,
has been made to tell with considerable eff
feet in the late elections, by the perversion
of his position, and the cute inference assid-
nous y disseminated that the Democratic par
ty is pledged to overthrow the new State
governments in the South by force.
If the Democracy can undo the effect pro-
duced by the Republican party on this lat
ter score all may be we'll. 1t will require
incessant work and never-hagging exer-
ton. They will make bold effort to
overcome all the incidental as we'll as direct
issues In fact both parties will put forth
extraordinary exertions. They have mere
ly skirmished with and felt the strength of
each others columns, preparatory to the
grand campaign to culumniate in November.
The result thus far is not a sufficient ground
for exultation OR dependency to either par
ty. The vote in November will be closer
than many suppose. Let us therefore Meth
er exult nor cry aloud till then.
