to kill his wife by shooting her. He fired three
shots, one taking effect in her side, but elanc-

done; the second and third shots passed
through her clothing without doing any dam
age. The cause is said to be jealousy. The
man has left for parts unknown, and has thus
far eluded the search of the officers, who are
on his track clothed with the proper authori-
ty for his arrest.

Representative Golladay of Kentucky,
who has been charged as being implicated
in the sale of West Point cadetship,
emphatically denies the charges, and went
to Gen. Logan and demanded the fullest
investigation. Mr.. F. NJ. Brown of Lex
ington, friend of Mr.. Golladay, gives no
credit to the statement, and has volun-
teered to appear in The defense before the
Committee. The father of the young
man appointed, has made en- affidavit that
he never had any pecuniary transaction
with Golladay, and never, directly or in
directly, paid him anything for the ap-
pOintment

We have been furnished with a copy OF
a circular which Secretary Fletcher has
forwarded TO loyal claimants. 1t is a;
follows:
OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF STATE, NASH.
VILE, Tenn, Dec 10, 1S69.-Dear Sir:
By the provisions of an act passed at the
present session of the General Assembly,
the law passed the 18th of February,
1868, to secure to the loyal citizens OF
Tennessee recompense from the United
States Government for losses incurred by
the rebellion, is repealed; and all parties
who have filed claims are authorized ia
withdraw the same upon leaving a Ger
tilted copy in this office. Your claim has
been approved Ivy the General Claim Com
missioner and by the Governor, and if
you desire TO withdraw the same TO be
presented for payment you can do so by
forwarding to Clay Roberts, late General
Claim Commissioner, Nashville, Tenn,
81, the fees for the copy and certificate.

NORTH CAROLINA FINANCES.

There is a striking resemblance in the
financial condition of the Southern States,
produced by like causes. The result of
all Radical legislation is an empty treas
ury, a greatly increased Indebtedness and
greatly increased taxation. Through
fraud and corruption bonds have been
issued and squandered for private emolu-
ment and without the slightest perceptible
public benefit North Carolina seems to
be afflicted still as Tennessee was afflicted
until the late election deprived Radical
ism of its power to issue further bonds.
We find in the Wilmington, N. G. Jour
nal of the goth, an editorial much of
which is SO applicable TO Radical legisla-
ton in Tennessee that we publish it en-
tire. The Journal says:
The financial affairs of North Carolina
are rapidly approaching crisis. Beyond
doubt the taxes of our people must be
Uery largely increased over the last
assessment or the ordinary expenses of
the State Government cannot be pro-
vided for, much less the interest on the
public debt be paid. 1t seems to us of
minor importance what legislation is
taken upon the question by the present
General Assembly. Repeating the acts of
the previous session making apprOpria-
tons to certain railroads, will do no good
in relieving the people. Legislation can
not recall the bonds which have been
gambled away; which have been misap-
piled and stolen, or used to corrupt the
Legislature. No promises by this hegis
lature can restore the lost credit or
brighten the furnished honor of North
Carolina.
The question which should control the
action of the Legislature is the amount of
taxes the people are able to pay in their
present condition, and the honest and
economical expenditure of these taxes for
the support and the best interests of the
State government. If profligate and cor
rupt extravagancies are not discontinued,
and iniudicious and impossible attempts
are made to tax the people beyond their |

wHITTEMORE,s EXPLANATION

WhittemOre in his remark sprepared for
delivery in the House, expressed the be-
lief that large number of cases are to
be discovered where corrupt motives and
causes influenced appointments. The
eagerness of the press to find sensational
matter would bring it to the public gaze.
He denied that in the appointments he
made, he was actuated by any other than
the most correct motives. He admit
tel he had been injudicious and
asked that the intention might be
considered as as well as the act. He
had been reported against by committee
upon which there were those whose skirts
were not clear of accusation, or whose
conscienccs were purged of corruption.
There was one whose letter Mr.. White
more had seen which showed his willing
ness to accept proposition of purchase
of his appointment and yet he sat in
judgment over him, and voted even
against the most lenient proposition for
time for further examination of his case.
He laid charge at the door of a member
from New York, who was part of the
conspiracy against himself, and who
offered money for the letter which White
more wrote to Kegler.

POLITICS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

In New Hampshire they have an in
dependent party called the Labor Reform
Party. They have nominated candidates
for the State offices and for the Legisla.
ture. Their candidate for Governor is
Mr.. Samuel Flint an original Abolitionist.
The following is an extract from a speech
made by him on the 14th of this month /:
she then alluded to the National bonds,
the manner in which they were issued,
and how little real money was really paid
for them. He said The legal tender
notes of the Government are declared to
be legal tenders for all debts, with but
two exceptions, neither of which applies
to the principal of a bond. 1t follows,
then, that the principal was payable in
the currency created by the act of Feb.
%, 1862; but the bondholders claim it
shall be paid in gold Here is a deliber-
ate attempt to cheat the workingmen in
this country of more than 81, 900, 600, 600
in gold
ale said that public opinion had
changed as to the payment of bonds in
gold; but it was said that payment in
greenbacks is reputation. He said: IF
we borrow money and offer to pay the
same in equal quantity and quality, the
same amount in the same currency, is
this reputation? We offer to pay the
bonds in this way, and some old hound
bawls out Reputation, and every little
cur in the pack yelps in chorus. Let the
bondholders beware, and not provoke US
too far. There is such thing as repu-
diatiOn -

in the North well informed on Southern
affairs, as wei! as of prominent bankers
in this section, that the amount of cur.
RECOMMENDING United States notes,
bank notes and specie-retained here,
within the last four years, closely ap.
proximates 500, 100000 While lesitat,
ing to accept fully this estimate, the
New York Financial Chronicle saws il
is well aware there are reasons for be.
lieving that it does not very greatly ex-
coed the truth. The South, from hay
ing been eXtravagant and luxurious, has
acquired a habit of economy bordering
upon parsimony. In a determined effort
TO recover lost fortune and position, moth
ing is more natural than 10 resort to
boarding, especially where there are flew
opportunities at hand for investing the
funds profitably. While it is unfortunate
for the South and the country at large
that such an amount of capital should be
held absolutely out of use, yet the econo-
my TO which its accumulation is due
stands in striking contrast TO the prevail
ing extravaganza Of other sections Of the
country. The South is amassing wealth:
the North has been for long time reck-
lessly squandering it; and ifthose diverse
processes are long continued, the relative
positions of the sections, so faras respects
the power and varied influences associ-
ated with wealth, must be, in a measure
at least, changed.

THE COMING MAN.

The 'tcoming man" sometimes mixes
up things in a promiscuous manner in
Radical society. In the Washington cor
respondence of the Boston Post, the fol
lowing incident is related: CAT Colonel
Forney's late reception, the first practical
commingling of the white and colored
races in social way that has transpired
this season was seen. The appearance of
General Tate at the Presidents reception,
and some others thereafter, was of
severely formal character; but at Colonel
Forney's reception, the severe formal cere-
mOny of presentation to host and guests
was followed by the tipping of
the glass in respectful recognition
and general participation. At the
informal refreshment table, Professor
Vashon and three other colored persons
were the recipients Of the civilities,
Whilst these social comminglings were
progressing, the colored guests gathered
about the refreshment table, after the Gus
tom of their white friends. A distin-
guished member of Congress, not discov-
ering the difference between the colored
walters and colored guests, hailed one of
the latter with, Here, waiter, give me
slice Of that cold turkey; come, be HUely,
nOU, to which he received dignifed
bow and the response, Thank you, sir,
l am one of the guests. l am Professor
- The Congressman, an out-and-out
Radical, somewhat nOnplussed, replied:
q beg your pardon, did not observe it;
we shall get used to these things by-and-
