condition of affairs, thee two powers can
divide the continent as they please. If the

But the probability is that the people will

and that the new German Empire will EN-
ploy its recently acquired wealth in the
construction Of o powerful iron-clad navy,

Isumner VS., Grant.

The New York Times says: Sumner
declares unfortunately to his visitors
that Grant ought to be impeached, and
will be impeached; and few nights since,
al dinner, where were present the repre-
sentatives of foreign governments. he met
the mention of the Presidents name for
denomination with similar declaration,
in language so strong that the whole table
was startled. He is known to have filed
his forthcoming speech with expressions
toward the President of a disrespectful
and insulting character, and these he has
read to Senators and others who have
called upon him."

Governor Vance.

| Our information, though trustworthy,
was incorrect in regard to the resignation
of Governor VANCE as United States Sena-
tor. He has not resigned, as we now def
nitely learn, but has hopes of his ultimate
admission.
We have not heretofore urged our Sen
tor elect to resign, nor do we do so now.
The representatives of the people of North
Carolina elected him to the Senate with a
full knowledge of the disabilities under
which he was laboring. His election I'M
der the circumstances was the best evi
dence of his popularity in the State, and
we are compelled to believe that he Yves
the decided choice of a large majority of
the Conservative voters of North Carolina.
Thus convinced, we do not think he ought
to resign until he is satisfied that there is
no chance for his admission. His election
while under disabilities gives him the au-
thority to use oil honorable means to Sc
cure his admission. He is commissioned
by the people of North Carolina to make
this effort.
It is not proper to pronounce judgment
in regard to his admission in advance of
his own action. We have confidence in
his judgment and patriotism, and we are
satisfied that when he becomes convinced
that his admission is impossible he will re-
sign. In the meantime we are willing to
abide his action. His opportunities of
forming correct opinion OF the situation
are better than ours.

FROM robson CoUNTY-A STRATL1NG
ITEM-A note from friend ut Lumber
ton informs us that Capt. j. w. Plummer.
formerly mail agent on the W.. G. d &.
r. r., but lately doing business at Plum
merville. Robson county, was arrested
last Saturday on warrant issued by JUS
tice Sinclair. The warrant was based up
on statements made by Henderson Oxen
dine in confession made just previous to
his death, and which was TO the effect that
the said Plrmmer had been in the habit of
trading with the'gang of Robson county
outlaws, and furnishing them with infor-
nation that he advised them TO ''upset"
q neighbor of his with whom he was not
on friendly terms, &c. ; that Henry Berry
Lowrey left watch with Plummer to be
repaired, and exchanged with him q gun
for pistol, &o. n negro named Jordan
Shine, who lived with Plummer, has also
been implicated, and both were placed in
Jail at Lumberton to await an investiga-
ton, which was to have been held yester
day, with Messrs. w. S. Norment, Leitch
and Rowland for the State.
TIE above are all of the facts that we're
communicated to us. In the absence of
further information, we withhold COM
ment, but we do most earnestly hope that
Capt. Plummer will disprove the charges
against him, which may be sustained, but
which, on the other hand, should be re-
ceived very cautiously, coming. as they did,
from such q source

MIR. Robinson said no did not wish TO
treat this concern with any sort of respect
The people, through their representatives,
had twice rejected this Constitution.
The last Legislature, IL months ago, pass.
ed bill abolishng the pay Of this body,
and the bill was very mysteriously lost,
after being ratified, between the offices of
the Secretary OF State and the Public Prin-
ter, aud though the Code Com mission were
cognizant of the passage of the bill, they
continued to draw pay, Sc. He would
move to reject this communication, as he
did not, as far as he was concerned, wish
to treat it with any sort of respect or recog-
nize the Commission in any way.
Mr.. Johnston, Of Buncombe, in remarks
of length, concurred with Mr.. Robinson.
MIR. Hargrove wished to receive the
communication.
Mr.. Strudwick moved to refer the mat
ter to the Judiciary Committee.
Mr.. Rankin did not know why the Com
mission were SO persistent in trying to
bring "heir reports before this Gener j
Assembly. They had already tried III fonr
or five different ways 10 accomplish this
He also thought the report should be re-
iected. ZIG
After some debate, Mr.. Robinson called
the previous question Oh his motion to re-
lect. The call was sustained, and the mo-
ton TO reject was put to vote and pre-
vailed, yeas Sc, nays 25.

It is announced from Paris that although
Marshal MacMahon supports the present
government of France he will retire from
the army to private life. This simply
means that the Marshal still adheres to
Napoleon and does not intend to compro-
mise his future by taking service under
the new government. Marshal Bazaine,
on the other hand, although supposed to
be the most violent Bonapartist among
the French commanders, does notintimate
any intention of resigning, but insists
upon an investigation into his conduct at
Metz. It was stated some time ago
that Bazaine had begun coquetting with
the Orleans princes, and it is likely enough
that he is taking the initial steps to aban-
doning Napoleon. II he is, his conduct
will appear in marked contrast to that of
Marshal MacMahon, and will leave a stain
upon his reputation.
