Vice President Colfax.

Yesterday number of North
Carolinians, now in tho city, called
on Mr. Colfax, III his room in the
Capitol They were introduced 10
him by Colonel Robert NJ. Douglas,
Private Secretary 20 the President.
Col. Douglas and Judge Henry as
sured him, on the part Of those
present, Of their respect for and
confidence in him, aud of the uni.
versal and cordial feeieg OF attach
ment for HIM by the loyal people OF
North CoarOlina, aud that the Re-
publcans of that State were still for
Grant and Colfax, as in 1868
Mr.. Colfax, in reply, referred to
the measures that had been adopted
To restore peace and order to the
South, and said that the Govern
ment owed il to itself aud to the
people Of the South TO protect all
in free suffrage and free speech
He said he bad read with indigna-
ton and horror of the outrages
committed on loyal persons in that
section, aud that this feeling was
mingled with one of sadness when
he reflected that these outrages bad
occurred in a country in which
absolute freedom of the ballot and
of speech should be recognized as
one of tho greatest privileges. He
spoke in terms of cordial approval
Of the Administration Of General
Grant Ho regarded his reelection
IS not less important TO the country
than that Of Mr.. Lincoln in 1864, and
said that, assaulted and criticized as
Mr.. Lincols Administration had
been, and as all Administrations
would be more or less, hs believed
that the country would in due time
award to General Grant the same
heartfelt commentator and APP
proval which had been bestowed on
Mr. Lincoln.
In relation to himself, Mr.Collax said
the Republican party had men who
were worthier than he was for Vice
Present, aud that any one of those
who might be selected by the con-
vention should have his cheerful and
earnest support. He also spoke very
kindly Of the Southern Ioyalists, as
he has uniformly done on al oc.
casions. The Vice President was ev-
identity gratifed at the manner in
which he was greeted by his South
ern friends, and they retired with in
creased respect and attachment fol

A REVELATION The Eagineerjng
and Mining Journal coatains a lec-
ture by DR.. =. Ii. Vanderwayde.
Speaking Of spiritualiSm he says: ]
was on "a committee where several
communications were received from
the spirit,land. When | took my
place at the table, was favorably
received, the medium thinking, from
me remark | had made, L was a
believer. l wrote down two ques-
tions in German. Tho 6rst was
whether spiritualism was true, and
the answer was No. The second was
whether sJirituallsm was humbug,
and the answer was Yes I And |
was willing to accept it at its own
valuation. By privately applying
the slethoscope | had with me, |
found tho rsps came from the board
upon which the medium had her feet.
When sAe moved, the sound shifted
to tho board upon which her feet
rested"

GE The "unreconstructed" cele-
brated the birthday Of Gen. Lee in
Savannah, Ga, on the 10Th Of Januaa

pronounced by one Jackson on the oc-

respectable though rather weak man
during the beginning and progress Of
the Rebellion, but he was not a man

this moment, ia several ATTITUDES, the

4 RIVAL TO TEA AND COFFEE
Tea and coffee are threatened with
Brazilian rival, called guarana
Guarana consists of the seeds Of a
tree known to botanists as the
Taulin7 Sorbtis which IA very
abundant The tree produces q
fruit about the size Of q walnut,
containing five or ak seeds. The
seeds roasted, mixed with water, and
dried Before being used they re.
quire grinding, when they fall into q
kind OF powder. The active princi-
pie is an alksloid identical with that
found in tea and coffee, but there is
twice as much of it in guaraua as
there is in tea. The effects are
similsr TO those of tea and coffee.

Letters From the Shore.
EDITOR HERALD We are in the
midst of winter-the thermometer
stands 23o above zero; it has only
three or four times been below zero,
and then only about A. below. We
never have such extreme cold wealth
err as you do. We have but little
snow, nor have that little long. 1t is
supposed that the sea causes the snow
to disappear-in cities they put salt
on the snow to cut it away, and the
sadness of the sea air is probably
the cause Of the SHOWS disappearing
80 soon along the sea shore. 1t is q
rar9 circumstance that we have a
week Of sleighing during winter.
The winter so far has been very
bright and open, and scarcely any
ice has been gathered for next sum-
mer; but the ice-men are never dis
couraged until late in March, as a few
days of freezing weather is enough
to make and gather the crop.
To-day, the 9th of January, the
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
meets in Hartford to nominate
State ticket. They will put in nom
ination the Same ticket as last year,
LOWELL for Governor and tho rest of
the State officers.
Some time since the Hartford Post
published list Of those who had
been engaged in lobbying during the
last two legislatures in the interest
Of the city of Hartford for 3 State

THE THIRD PARTY
was organized December -, 1871, at
New Haven. About one hundred
persons were present from all parts
Of the State. But very few of them
were politicians They were farm
ors, manufacturers, teachers, clergy
men and sprlnkling Of awyers.-
They were all in earnest. The OBJ
ject OF the convention was to organ
ize a political party for the suppress
sion of the liquor traffic and for the
accomplishment of such other reform
measures as will enhance the happi
ness Of the people Of the State. The
principal part o: the resolutions is
taken up in defining the duties of the
new party on the liquor question
the pith of which is prohibition by
enactiGg the necessary laws and by
executing them There ia resolu~
ton against railroad and other con-
solidatiou. There is resolution in
favor of Civil Service reform. There
is resolution against the practic Of
war and in favor Of peace, -euIogiz,

Claims with England by arbitration,

The N Y, Herald and the Tribune
both prophecy that the new party
will throw the election of Governor
into the State Legislature. The new
party will draw about fifteen humid
red votes, and the difference between
the two parties is less than thous-
and votes. The votes will come
mostly from the

Mr.. Clark said: "The foundation OF

We do not say that such support of

remind auti-tobacconists that lhe

smokers in the world, drink no aieo-
