The Travelling North Carolina Family.

The Columbus (Ohioj State Journal,
q paper given to romancipg, tells the
following in its issue of Oct. %: Two
men, three wonen,sa wagon, aud blind
man arrived in this city under circuna-
stances that elected considerable sym
pathy. The blind man was not a per-
manent fixture of the party he tackled
himself to it in Southern Ohio, and
dropped out in Columbus, The five
persons remaining are brothers and sis
tiers, and are named Martin. One of the
women is about thirty years old.
and the-others are in the neiehborhood
of twenty, and the men close to twenty
five. They say they started from Ran
dolph county, n. O., with one horse. a
wagon and few domestic effects, bound
northward TO better their condition, but
without any special point certainly in
view. Their horse died somewhere the
other side of Chillicothe, and from that
| point to Columbus they have drawn the
wagon themselves. They made a halt
| yesterday on High street, between State
and Town, and attracted q large num-
Der OF people by their ragged, dirty con-
dition, as well as by their singular man
ner OF locomotion. They are now shap-
ing their course to point north of In
dianapolis, where they have friends iv-
ing. 8 Their story established consider
able pity among those who heard it
particularly in the case of Col Groom.
/ who, by his own exertions among the
merchants along the street, secured do
nations for them to the amount of $50.
With this they will be enabled to buya
horse. Several pairs of shoes we're
given them and they were provided with
places to sleep LAST night. ss ga "
One of the sympathetic crowd that
gathered around the meandering North
Carolinians renewed an old acquaint-
ance. q He had been a soldier during the
late war, and had vivid recollection of
a family in North Carolina who, under
circumstances of distress to him, had
Hospitality received him and furnished
him provisions. The story sounds like
fiction, but in the women of the forlorn
party he recognized, after a short con
versation, the Identical persons to whose
bounty he was indebted for " square
meal " when soldering.

THE THIRD TERM BUuDEAR.-

THE THIRD TERM BUGBEAR,-
President Grant, at q cabinet meet
ing held on Tuesday, gave as def
mite an expression Of his views up
on the third term question as the
public are likely to get. The session
of the Cabinet was quite protracted.
After the regular routine business
was ended the third term question
was brought up by an alusion to the
speech Monday night of Gen. Dix.
After the question had been quite
thoroughly canvassed by the differ
ent members of the Cabinet. the
President expressed himself very
emphatically upon the entire sub
.ject. He said in substance that the
subject of the third term had never
been presented to him in any formal,
official shape which required from
him Il definite answer, and that in
the absence of some such autl,orita-
tive offer of a third term candidacy
to him he did not think that it would
accord with the dignity of the Office
of President of the United States
to give public expression to his
opinions upon such subject. The
President also stated that no person
had ever suggested to him that he
should become a candidate for the
third Presidential term that he
himself, not even by the remotest
indirection, had ever limited to any
person that he desired to become a
third term candidate, and that such
a thought had never once occurred
to him. He also said that the dis
cussion of Cnsarism or the third
term, so far as he was concerned,
was a mere idle newspaper sensa
ton, a political trick and stupid
farce.

three days ago. AS the nature and
cause of their victories are brought
to light through the comments of

LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATIONS
tigate as to why the testimony taken
on the hearing before the committee
TO investigate the affairs Of the
Vermont Central railroad had not
been published, held a session We'd
nesday evening Of last week. The
testimony developed the fact that
the reason the reporter had not fur
nished the testimony, was a person
al grievance between him and the
printer, Senator Clarke. The tes-
timony fully exonerated the commit
tee and the Central railroad from
all fault in the matter.

TUESDAY, October Goth, was the
day for the election by the Legisla
ture of a Senator for six years from
the fourth of March next, and it
was supposed by some that the Yer,
mont partially to rotation in office
would render at least problematical
the reelection of Judge Edmunds.
But no such thought seems to have
entered the minds of the majority
OF our legislators, and when twelve
O'Clock came around, Judge Ed.
munds was quietly reelected by a
vote which, while it expresses the
political sentiments not only of his
State but of the country, must be
hattering to him personally as a tes-
timOnial to his personal worth. In
the Senate, the vote lacked but one
of being unanimous. The House
distributed it's votes as follows -
Edmunds, 1877; Phelps, 4S; Will
lard, 10; thus giving the present in
cumbent a maj GRITTY of 9G votes.

HOPEFUL WORDS FROM ABROAD.

The following is an extract from a letter
written by q lady in Vermont to relative in
this city, and is only another evidence of the
1Act that in every portion of this country we
h6te warm sympathizers and hopeful friends.
The cause Of Louisiana is, indeed, the cause
of every State il the Union; it is the cause
of free government, and must prevail:
s'All hail to the dawn OF brighter days! The
victory is ours! Amen.
''All praise to the men of your down-trodden
State who sounded the key note on that MEM
orable l4th 1t has vibrated through the
whole North, till even the Old Bay State has
opened her eyes and seen your wrongs. May
God continue his mercies throughout the
land. The yoke will be raised!"

Gen. Sherman has. submitted his annual
report to the War Department. He gives the
total of enlisted men in the army at 26, AL,
which number, he estimates, will soon be re-
duced by the operation of natural causes to
the limit Of $4,000 allowed by law. We are
are not surprised to learn that the General
believes his force inadequate to meet the ne
sessities Of the country. Gen. Sherman
nightly says that the army of the United
States is worked harder than that of any other
country. There are two remedies which q
Democratic Congress can apply-frst, stop
the use Of the troops to supervise political
elections in the States; and secondly, stop
the Radical policy Of economizing in the
military protection OF the defenseless Terrific
ries in preference to economizing in jobbery

The coachmen in Bordeaux, France, have
for some time past been in the habit OF giving
horses in their charge chlorals so as to make
them easier to ride or drive. The drug acted
like charm, for horses which had previously
been so spirited as to give much trouble b
their drivers became as quiet as lambs after }
few days of this treatment This great chang
naturally attracted the attention Of the ownes
of the animals, and they sent for the veterl
nary surgeon to ascertain the cause Of thu
sudden gentleness. That functionary noticed
certain tendency to sleep in the animals
but scarcely knew to what to refer this I'M
usual condition, when in one Of his visits ht
Glanced to find bottle half full of chlore1
When he questioned the delinquent coachma1
as to the use he made of the drug the latter
after much hesitation, owned that, following
the advice of q brother whip. he gave
horses dose of chloral every morning \
make them go quietly, and further. tAat man
of the fraternity in Bordeaux followed the
same plan.
