AND it has not ever yet tound an explana-
ton OF that remarkable blunder of those re-
markable statesmen of its party, MessIs.
Blaine and Hale, who in their letters of ac-
ceptance last year misstated The public ex-
penditures more than ten millions of dollars.
argus
In the PRESS of August I'd, the ''blunder'
OF the argus Respecting the matter above
referred to was fully explained. Its ''blundeI' >
about the matter was so stupid, or its con-
tinual misstatements so evident, that we
should think that the argus wouldn't care
to recall the subject.
The Portland daily press., 1875-08-17

The movement to flood Sahara and to
substitute literal "ships of the desert" for
camels appears to be seriously entertained.
The proposed cutting is six miles long,
through the barrier of sand at Cape Judy,
opposite the Canary Islands. Through this
canal the Atlantic will flow into the desert, a
considerable portion Of which is below the
level of the ocean. New possibilities would
be opened up to Africa, by the success OF
this undertaking. For example. Timbuetoo,
famous for the consumption Of missionaries
and hymn-books, would become seaport,
and the seat of great trade. The canal,
though favorable to business, will be serious
blow to simile and metaphor.
The Portland daily press., 1875-08-17

EVERY regular attache of the PRESS is furnished
with Card certificate countersigned by Stanley 7.
PulleD, Editor All railway. steamboat and hotel
managers win confer a favor upon us by demanding
credentials Of every person claiming to represent
journal, as we have information that several "bum-
mers'' are seeking courtesies in the name of the
PRESS, and we have no disposition to be- even pas
sively, party to such frauds.
The Portland daily press., 1875-08-17
As has been stated, the canvass in North

AS has been stated, the canvass in North
Carolina for the election of delegates to con-
stitutional convention was most bitter and
the Democratic papers breathed spirit of
implacable hostility to the present constitu-
tion and their political opponents. The fol-
loving extract from the Raleigh News will
serve to show the spirit of the Democratic
press in that state:

Hon. REvERDY JOHNSON of Maryland
has written long letter to the New York
Tribune on the curr ncy question, which he
declares to be the most important issue be-
fore the country and that it rises above mere
party interests, whicl are for the most part
ephemeral; but the state of the currency az
fects the welfare of every citizen, the general
prosperity of the country. and the reputation
of the government. In the course of his let
ter he comes to the following conclusions:
First. That the only currency known t0 tue
Constitution is gold and silver, or paper con
vertIbie into it on demand.
Second. That nothing but gold and silver
can be made a legal tender.
Third. The government uow being perfectly
safe, no danger threatening it or ing sppre-
hended, Congress has no power to authorize
the issue of an irTedeemable currency aud TO
make it legal tender. This is the clear mean

Fourth. That the credit of the nation, the
true, permanent prosperity Of every class of
our citizens, aud the arrest Of the demoraliza

their masters? Must the white bow to the
black? Must principle yield to policy? And
will the white Democrats recognize as So
cial equal the men who have nursed in their
arms negro babies and kissed mothers that
the equality OF races might be preserved?
God forbid that the white men of North
Carolina should come down 10 this, degra-
dation. But the Radicals demand it, and,
oh God! how many of our Democratic
friends have taken it quietly? Our advice is
to draw the line strongly. Those who have
voted the negro ticket, let them stay on
that side. Let them be known as negroes.

THE Argus is greatly troubled about the
Republican candidates for senators in this
county. There is good cause for this, because
they are not such men as our neighbor
the Blaine scare-crow which the argus sees
everywhere, it may be well to state that two
of these candidates inform us that neither
Mr.. Blaine or any friend Of his has named
the senatorial question to them. We pre-
sumo the others would say the same.
