POLITICAL.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Gtzs7l.

In almost every case where a carpet bag
ger has been rejected by the people, he
seeks by some artful contrivance to get
that verdict upset in Congress, and to OBJ
tain the position to which he aspires or
may have held, by partisan influences. 1t
is by such abuses that various members
are holding seats in the House of Repre-
sentatives, to which they have not the first
shadow of right. And now, encouraged
by this outrageous system, an attempt is
to be made upon the Senate by Mr.. car
pet -baeger Abbott, who claims to repre-
sent North Carolina, but who, really, is q
third Senator from New Hampshire. II
is known that Governor Vance was elect
ed to the Senate by Legislature having
a Democratic maj jority of two-thirds In
each branch. HIS disabilities have not
yet been removed, but there is an appli-
cation for that purpose now before Con
grees, and his Senatorial term will not
commence until the 4th of March.
Upon this state of facts, Mr.. Abbott has
the effrontery to come forward with pre-
tended claim to the seat, resting on ne
other basis than the support which he re-
ceived from fractional minority of the
Legislature, 0nd the alleged ineligibility
of Governor Vance. Such q protension il
too puerile and audacious to command tht
least serious attention, but it shows Il
what lengths these adventurers are pre-
pared to go in order to prol 1ng their holC
on power. The Boston Advertiser pro
tests against giving any countenance tC
the proposed outrage, and referring t.
Governor Vance, says: "If the disabilities
| of Governor Vance should not be removed
the Senate should remit the election t.
the Legislature; but we hope, in the in
terest of harmony and goodwill, tha
there will be no hesitation in granting th
prayer OF the petition which has alread
! heen filed" "

Mr.. Justice moved to indefinitely post
pone the bill and argued against it gen-
orally. ss-
Mr.. Nicholson said that when this insti-
tuition, was established Board of Directors
were appointed by the Legislature for life,
but when the Republican patty came into
power, this Board of Directors who had
managed affairs SO successfully were turned
out and the Institution made political
machine to further nefarious party ends.-
This bill simply proposed to go back 10
the old management and to throw off the
incubus which has been weighing down
the institution for the last two or three
years. The term Of the Board of Trustees
would expire in 1873, &c.
Mr.. Welch said that Mr.. Merrimon did
not wish to serve as a member OF the Board
of Trustees, and moved to substitute the
