WASHINGTON, Oct 2S.-A gentleman
formerly United States Marshal of North
Carolina, who arrived here from that State
Wednesday, SAYS there Is about TO be a gen
eral breaking up of political parties there.
The Holden party, which has ruled with
great bitterness in the interests Of ultra
Radicals since the State was reconstructed,
has lost caste and its members are quarrel
ing among themselves. They have brought
the State to the verge of bankruptcy and
now. that the State bonds are selling for
about b cents on the dollar. some of
them are secretly conniving at IA repudia-
ton Of the State debt The people or at
least the respectable portion of them, and
especially the property owners, are ready
10 Join any party organization that promises
relief from the enormous taxes and had
management of Holden and his friends
Holden is about deserving the extreme
Radicals. because he perceiyes that their
power Is at an end, and will probably seek
for admission in the new party. lie has
been so pruscnptve against all who did not
.turee with him that he will get no favor at
the hands Of the leaders Of the new move
ment The gentlemen propose TO organize
party after the fashion of the Walker
party in Virginia and the Senter party in
Tennessee, with universal amnesty and i'm
partial suffrage as the leading features.

New YORK, Oct. 2s.-The investigation
which Solicitor Banfeld has made in re-
gard to the charges against Gen Butter
field was concluded yesterday morning
Mr.. Banfeld was closeted with Judge
Pierrepont, and facts were disclosed which
Mr.. Banfield thinks makes it improper for
Gen. Butterield to remain at the Sub
Treasury. So it is almost certain that his
resignation, which has been rendered, will
he accepted.
Yesterday the General was busily en-
gagged signing gold certificates, and ap-
peared in no wise concerned by the re-
ports.
Mr. Banfeld left last evening for Wash

The London Post ON President Grant

The London Post ON President Grant
LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The Post comment
ing on the action of Gen. Grant in the
gold speculation says the habits and life OF
President Grant are sure guarantee that
he will do his duty impartially to all par
ties. His character as a soldier viii pro
tect him from temptations TO which those
who make politics trade frequently yield.
His Judgment as a statesman remains to
be tried. Thus far he has given evidence
of statesmanlike prudence and good tenn
per. The temporary failure of the Alabama
negotiations led him to wisely postpone
the reopening of the subject. The course
he has pursued with respect to Cuba proves
that he is ever anxious for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of the Union. He is resolved to observe
faithfully the duties prescribed by interna-
tional law

criterion except what he conceived to
be right. Any effort or action on the part
of the people, otherwise than through the
organized channels of government, was
revolutionary and should not meet with
the appreciation of this Assembly. By the
application of this amendment no restric-
tons could be applied, and aliens, bond or
free, would have right to vote. Only
those had a right to vote who were at
present vested with the right of suffrage.
The Legislature had only the ordinary and
not a sovereign power to repeal or to re-
move these restrictions They could not
be repealed by this Legislature. He was
in favor of the bill as it stood, and was OPP
posed TO the amendment.
Mr.. Fleming said that the Legislature
was nOtcalled upon, uorhad it the authority
tc call convention. 1t could only au-
thorize the people to meet together and
vote for the calling of that Convention. Ii
had no power to limit the people after they
called the primary Convention. The fran
ehise law did not bind the Legislature in
the least degree. The calling of a conven-
ton was civil revolution, differing from
an armed revolution, because the proper
power was given to do it. He wanted,
finally, to see everybody fully represented
and without any restrictions. He favored
the adoption of the amendment.
Mr. James, of Hamilton, spoke in favor
of the amendment, because the Legislature
had full power to adopt it. The Legisla-
ture didn't call, but authorized the people
to call convention. He agreed with Mr.
Fleming, that the calling of the Conven-
ton was revolutionary, but a majority of
65, 900 of the people wanted convention,
and the Legislature could only arrange the
machinery by which the Convention should
assemble. i
Mr. Spears said that the question as to
who should vote or who should have a
right to vote had not been discussed before
the Judiciary Committee 1t was ques-
ton the committee had nothing to do with.
A portion of the people were recognized as
being DISTINGUISHED, so far as ordinary cleo
tons were concerned, but this was an ex-
traordinary election. All the people would
have a right to vote on this subject He
was in favor of the amendment
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
The rules were here suspended and the
Senate bill to repeal all laws establishing
Boards of Commissioners in Davidson and
other counties, was taken up on the House

The bill abolishing the Office of county
of Fayette county was so
