His Election and Political
Views.
His Interview with an Editor
of the Journal
Especial. TO THE JoURNAL.]

RALEIGH, Dec. 3-S /. M
The denomination Of Governor Vance
and the subsequent election Of Judge
Nerrjmon, as United States Senator
created both surprise and excitement pu'
everything promises to pass OIL quietly
The Radicals are jubilant at having
defeated the nominee of the Conservative
Democratic Caucus, but the election OF
.Judoe Merrimon will do them no good.
Judge Merrimon assured me in person.
in a conversation with him few moments
since, that while he felt very grateful, per-
sonallv, for the confidence and respect his
political opponents had manifested for him
I'm the vote they had given h m, bis political
status and party relations remained un-
changed, and that his political Integrity ives
In no wise compromised.
He assured me that he had had no com
munication whatever, direct or indirect, III
person or through others, with the Radical
party or any members thereof, in relation
10 the Senatorial contest, that could affect
his party relations that if he considered
that his election compromised his political
principles, lie would not accept the posi-
ton. When the members of the Republl-
can party voted for him, they did so know
ing his past record and that he was still a
Conservative. =.

Important Decision.

Every judicial decision affecting bust
ness transactions during the war between
the States must prove a matter of great in
terest in every community. There is hard
ly neighborhOod in the South in which
there Is not litigation in regard'to transqc-
tons made during the war.
The Supreme Court of Appeals of Vir-
GINA has lately rendered an important de-
cision covering the liability under the Con-
fscation Acts of the Confederate States.
Judge WalterR. Staples delivered the unan-
smous opinion of the Court, of which the
following are the points decided
NetotOn, executor, VS.. BushOng d ais.
&, resident of Indiana during the late
war, had legacy which had been left him
which came to the hands Of N, executor.
IN July 1861, (and which was deposited in
bank to the credit of N, executor and
reported by the executor to a Confederate
receiver and eonfiscated under the confisca-
tion acts Of the Confederate States. Held :
First. That in suit by b., against N,
since the war, to recover this legacy, n.
was not liable.
Secondly. That the citizens of the Con-
federate States were obliged to obey ITS
laws and mandates, just as much as the cit
lien OF any other Government are, and
that contracts made, rights vested, pay
ments made, liabilities incurred, and duties
ana obligations performed under those
laws are as valid and binding as those un-
der any other Government.
Thirdly. The Confederate Government
was a government de fdcto in the highest

GENTLEMEN-Gratefu as I am to you
for the honor which you conferred upon
me by giving me the nomination for the
position Of Uni'ed States Senator, l beg
leave to herewith return you my thanks
and withdraw my name.
/ am induced to take this step by the
fact that, although | was nominated with
a degree Of unanimity almost unparalleled
In our party history, yet number Of
gentleman sufficient 20 prevent an election

nomination, aud have produced 4 schi3m
in our party, which, if prolonged, could not
fail to endangcr it, and all the precious in

party as the main hope Of our country.
Born of the great revolution through which
we have but lately passed, the Child of OPP
preston and cruelty, it has drawn around
its banners all who revere constitutional
liberty, and hope for the welfare Of ON
children; and l have never seen the houi
when 1 would not willingly surrender any
personal aspirations whatsoever, if thereby
1 might in any degree uphold its hands
Especially should this be done when, shat
tered as it is by recent great defeat, the
ambitious or the wicked may seek OCCASION
to fatally stab it under the pretcncc Of is
necessary dissolution.
Earnestly hoping that you may be able
70 obtain entire unaDimity in the nOnIina
ton of some other and worthier gentleman
1 again thank you, and without irritation
at the result, or anger toward those who
contributed to it, l return to my home
There, as in the past have done, so i'll the
future shall continue, With all my ability
to advocate and labor for the success of ouI
cause, expecting only the appreciation Of my

Senator MerrtInGn.

It will lie seen by our special telegram
that Hon. A. S. MERRIMoN, of Bunc ombe,
has been elected the United States Sena-
tor for the term Of six years, beginning
March 4t;l, 1879, to succeed John Pool, the
present Radical incumbent.
Believing that organization and discip-
line are essential to party success, we must
regret that the nominee Of the party was
not elected. We fear the precedent may
be fraught with danger in the future.
If, however, our dissensions were so
great that they coald not be reconciled
and our political enemies had to cleo n
Senator for us, we are glad that their choice
has fallen upon gentleman whose person.
al and political record is so entirely accept
able to the Conservative Democratic voters
Of North Carolina.
The canvass which Judge MERRIMoN
made last summer created al enthusi-
asm Id admiration for him which will not
soon be forgotten, and called cut vote
from the white people Of the State much
larger than that ever before given to any
man. We have the same confidence in
him to-day that we had when we urged his
nomination for Governor at Greensboro.
We feel the same personal and political at
tachment for him to-day that We did when
last Summer we labored for him in the
sdnctun and at the hastings with a zeal of
which we are still proud. We can assure
our friends that they need have no fears Of
The political integrity Of AUGUSTUS S.
MERRIMOS.
Last Spring in Connecticut, few
Radicals, dissatisfied with the party
nominee for Senator, General Hawley,
voted for MIR. Ferry. The Democrats Of
the Legislature united with them and
elected him. 1t had no effect upon that
Senator'S political opinions, and ssince his
reelection he seems to have taken special
pride in dis playing his party fealty
We can promise our party friends that
Senator MEBR1A1oN will not permit the
manner of his election to influence his
political bearing. Suhordinating every
thing else to the welfare of North Carolina
and our common country. he will bear as
true allegiance to his party affiliations as
any Senator upon the floor.
=. S.-Since the above was in type we
are in receipt Of special telegram, which
We publish, in which Senator MERRIMON
gives his political views, for which we had
vouched in advance. 1t did not require
this assurance from him to secure our con-
fdence, for it was and has been mistaken.

Aneedofe OF Webster.

Daniel Webster once dined with an old
Boston merchant, and when they came to
the wine, dusty old bottle was carefully
decanted by Peter and passed to the host.
Taking the bottle, he poured out Mr.. Web
ster's glass and handed it to him. Then
pouring out another for himself, he held it
to the light and said" How do you like
it, Mr.. Webster" II think it a fine
specimen OF old port" "Ncw you can't
guess what that cost me? said the host.
"Surely not" said Mr.. Webster. 81 only
know that it is excellent" " Well, now,
/ can tell you, for made a careful esti-
mate the other day. When add the i'll
terest to the first price, 1 find that it cost
me the sum of just one dollar and twenty
cents per glass; "Good gracious you
don't say So" said Mr.. Webster; and
draining his glass he hastily presented it
again 18th the remark, :. Fill up again as
quick as you can, for want to stop that
COMPOUNDED interest"

concerned they are also as sanguinary as
their opponents. The Republican, Bax-
ter organ, on the morning following the
meeting alluded to, said:
The Senate Is the only tribunal which
can decide, by count, who is elected, IN
by that determination Mr.. Brooks and his
friends shall stand, or, in his own Ian
guage, we will make this State a " bowling
wilderness from the Missouri border to the
Red river" He and his friends may get
up just as many meetings as they choose, for
the purpose Of revolution but they will
find that suchssa man as General Pagan will
no more draw his sword in 2 war for the
Inauguration of Brooke, than he would
have drawn it in days gone gone by, because
a planter had refused to invite negro
dealer to his table. In fact, VIC are told
his eyes are already open to their scheme,
and that he declines to lead where Brooks
Is to follow. What McRae, Cabali and
Dockery will do we know not and care
less. All that we ask of the ritfraff is that
| they place their leaders 10 the front,
| and with inhospitafle hands We viii well
! come them to bloody graves. 10 the deci-
sion of the proper tribunal we will submit
| without murmer; but to tie inaugu1a-
| ion of Books by rebellion and violence,
we never shall. We know, Brooks knows,
| ant the people CT this Stale know, that
Brooks has not received majority of Il gal
votes of this State for the position to which
he aspires, and he who attempts to place
him there in the face of these facts had
better commence 7aOar to make his peace
with his God.
1t appears from this that the Brooks party
must either acquiesce in the situation o.
take up arms against sea of troubles
Both branches of the Legislature are Radi
cal, and the count of the vote will likel
smack of the political bias of the counters
The Courts can't be appealed to with an
hope of success. They are as Radical a
Baxter or the Legislature. There is
therefore, no other tribunal for the Lii
erals to appeal to but the god of battles
and unless milder counsels than thos
which have been hitherto accepted Wit
. such enthusiasm prevail, or unless th
Federal Government inerferes, it is likel
l that the muddle will end in anarchy an
bloodshed.
In view Of this state Of facts thrOn9hOu
O the South, we may we'll ask if the Gener'
Government guarantees to every State
Republican form Of government , Wi
