THE Associated.Pr Agent at Washing
ton, whose business it is to furnish neWs,
considers himself paid to send only such
dispatches as suit a partisan Southern
press. He seems not to know that we are
in new era of journalism, when the press
want to give the nc1yS whether just exactly
what suits them politically or not. Last
week he flooded us with the Tammany
organs. account of the Liberal Republican
meeting. Yesterday he gave Us about five
lines of the great Grant meeting.

Of the present Legislature Of North
Carolina, majority backed by ma
jority Of the people who voted at its

How 10 Get Rich /!

Put on the airs of an eght-keyed flute.
If you're only penny whistle;
Pass where You can for garden rose,
If you're only wayside thistle.
Blow, whenever you blow your horn
So people can understand
That you may be sharp, but you won't be flat
In society's great brass band,
Pass the plate or the hat in church
With the usual Sabbath air,
But move with mild, religious squeak,
That people may know you're there.
If you carry a nose six inches long,
(tnd beak can scarce be longerD
Believe it a sign Of perception strong,
And the longer it is the stronger.
But if in the order Of usual tubes
Your organ Is brief in measure,
Then, breyity being the soul Of writ,
Consider your pug a treasure
Love your neighbor but mark the force
OF the gospel rule Of grace
The more you admire yourself, my friend,
The higher your noighbors place
Clink YOUR dime in the Dcacon's pan.
As if you were throwing gold,
And give, with an eye to the business hope
OF reaping hundred fold
Whether your reading is little or great,
Quote right or never quote;
Polish your uppers. though down in the heel
And never indorse note.
Always advance best hand, best foot,
(Dcst hand, best for your own.)
And thus you may feast on the fat of the land
While others enjoy the bone

RMEIGH, n. G., July 20.-The
United States Commissioner to-day
rendered his decision in the case OF

Gross, colored, who acted rs mar
shall ON the occasion Of the Greeley

Best to-day and bound over in $1,000

case Of the other conspirators, who
will be examined on Monday, the eyi-
dence is said to be stronger than in

THE MEANS USED TO ELECT GRANT.
The friends of the Administration feel
the necessity Of putting forth the
most strenuous efforts for success,
especially in the approaching State
elections, and to carry the States they
will stop at nothing. Money is tc be
used layishly, wherever and whenever
necessary, ard in the first place it is
to be poured out in North Carolina.
James B. Beck recently made Il per
sonal examination at the Treasury of
the accounts Of the United States Mar
shall Of North Carolina, and it is found
that this officer drew 100000 from
the Treasury during the last sixty
days, and $4,000 of that sum within
Il few weeks. When this tact is tax
en- in connection with the desperate
efforts of the Administration to carry
the North Carolina election by any
means however shameless, and the pro-
fuse expenditure of money there which
is now notorious, the explanation of
these enormous drafts is at once turn-
ished' Every department Of the Gov
ernment is prostituted to partisan pur
poses, and the Treasury is audaciously
plundered under false pretences
