The Way They Squelched Republican Votes
In North Carolina.

Dr.. A. ]. Glover, supervisor of cleo
tion, at Swan Quarter, Hyde county,
North Carolina, was drowned on the
night of November 9th, with the Re
publican tickets for that county in his
possession. He was accompanied by a
party of Democrats, who enticed him
away from town to the vicinity of an
old wind mill, on the pretense of hav-
ing important information to communi-
cate. He never returned alive, but was
found some days after nearly upright in
the water, with his coat drawn over his
head and other evidence of violence.
He was invited by one of the parties to
drink at his bar before leaving, and it
is believed that the liquor was drugged.
The election tickets were never found.

PRIVATE SECRETARY BABCocK

1t would seem that we reckoned without
our host, yesterday morning, in congratu-
lating the country that General Babcock
would retire from the private secretary
ship. The assumption that he was to retire,
voluntarily retire, was based upon general
concurrence of Geographic advces from
Washington from all sources-r republican
and democratic, administration and anti-ad-
ministration, whisky ring and anti whisky
ring, alike--to the effect that soon after his
indictment he had rendered his resignation
which, acting upon his well known and oft
avowed principle not to let one of his sub
ordlnates go while "under fire." the presi-
dent had refused to accept and that now,
Babcock having escaped as If by fire, and
recognizing, for once, the eternal fitness of
thiags, had rendered, or was about TO ten
der, his resignation anew, which the presi-
dent would make haste to accept.
Orvile E. Babcock, however, now wishes
it to be distinctly understood that he is a
"potent factor in that game, and that, il
he knows himself as he thinks he does, he
has no present intention of going, but if he
leaves the pleasant circle of the presdents
family it will be, not because he gracefully
bows himself out, but because he is most
ungracefully kicked out. lie desires it fur
Their understood, that he sees no necessity
for making an explanation of his conduct,
correspondence or associates, that he has
been completely "vindicated" aud that he
does not "consider it at all necessary to re-
new his request for an army court of in
"Quiry to further vindicate him."

LOUISIANA,

A certain portion of tic south seem deter
mined to convince the country that they are
not entitled to confidence and are unworthy
to be entrusted with power. Not satisfied
with the large part of the loaf they want
the whole. On that account, we would
not ourtail their power or privileges, but
the rather console ourself with the reflec-
ton that if they only have rope enough,
they will hang themselves. Louisiana,
after an unprecedented period of quiet and
prosperity, is coming to the front with her
troubles again. The Wheeler compromise,
so called, proves to be mere rope of sand.
The letter is observed, but the spirit is de-
parted from. The conservative" majority
of the Louisiana house of representatives
have, by trick and fraud, succeeded in
impeaching Governor William Pitt Kel-
logg for "high crimes and misdemeanors. p"
The report Of the committee upon which
he was impeachcd, shows, upon the face
of it, that some plausible excuse for their
action was deemed necessary. They take
pains to say that "mdny' of the conserva-
tives "feel bound to carry out in good
"faith" the wheeler compromise, by hich
it was agreed that the governor should not
be impeachei for misconduct prior TO April
IA, 1875, and, therefore, recommend his
impeachment for acts since that date. The
ostensible grounds for the impeachment are
that he has appointed non-residents of
counties to county offices, and that he has
appointed defaulters to offices of trust, etc.,
But the real grounds of their action are
understood to be, that the senate, last
spring, refused to concur in ten of thirteen
''reform bills passed by the house, and
that the governor vetoed two of the bills
SO concurred in and that the senate has
refused to repeal the old election law under
which the returning board was constituted.
These, Of course are not improbable Of
lenses, but the conservatives make no
secret of the fact that their present hostil-
ty is based upon these acts, or neglect to
act. Their design is thus rendered appa-
rent. They are determined to carry the
election, votes or no votes Governor Kel-
logg may have had the same design-but
there is no more harm in it for him than
for them. The conservatives have no ex-
pectation, if they have the desire, of con-
victng Kellogg-a majority of the senate
being his adherents. Their purposeis sub
served without It, BY the constitution
of Louisiana, an impeachment, tpso
.tacto, s1spends the governor from his
Office, and the successive impeachment,
as proposed, of the lieutenant governor and
president of the senate, will make the dem
ocratic speaker OF the house acting govern
or, and throw the political machinery of
the state into the hands of those conserv-
atives who are not scrupulous about OBJ
serving the terms of the compromise. They
are playing for high stake and, whether
they win it or not, the result will go far
toward counteracting the present kindly
feeling of the north, and will convince the
country that it is yet dangerous to trust the
democracy of the Union with full power.

Vermont's Statue.

I4arkin G. Meade's statue of Ethan Allen
was put in place in the statuary hall of the
capital on Saturday. 1t is one of the con-
tributions of the state of Vermont to our
National Pantheon, and has its merits as a
work of art. A Washington correspon-
dent says "Unfortunately the sculptor
has made 1t Of heroic size, which dwarfs
the works of art oil around it, and makes it
obtrude itself as "the biggest thing" visi-
ble."
The other contribution of Vermont to
this gallery will be statue OF Hon. Jacob
Collamer, which we believe the son of
sculptor Powers has in hand. Thus our
contributions are Of Verm0nts representa-
tive men by Vermont artists.

SILVER COIN.
Secretary Bri,tow says there Is now III
the hands of the government about $12,-
100000 in silver coin, but that II could not
be put in circulation throughout the coun-
try in week or month. He said no day
had yet been set for beginning 1t, and he
did not even acknowledge what is well
known outside, that he had decided to put
out his surplus silver. On each fractional
currency note is an agreement that it is
excbangeable for United States notes by
the ,reasurers and designated depostares
OF the United States in sums of not less than
SO. 1t will thus be seen that the govern
ment cannot force the circulation of silver,
and that it can only 60 out by common con-
sent of the citizen. OF course, at the
present time and for short period, silver
coins will be great curiosity, and their
novelty will make them popular for some
time, but whether the people will prefer
| them TO fractional currency as steady
| thing cannot now be foretold. In the
meantime the treasury officials are warning
the government agents to be sparipg OF
small currency.

COIN IN TIE TREASURY,
This information will show congress and
the country exactly how much available
coin is in the treasury of the United States.
The public debt statement for January,
published at the commencement of the
present month, gave under the head oil
leash in the treasury the amount of coin
as S73, Col ,3Gl.4 and many have doubt
less regarded that sum as good beginning
toward the resumption of specie payments.
Those, however, who have carefully
studied these monthly debt statements, and
are familiar with the different items, have
known that but a small portion of the coin
in the treasury was actually available, and
it now appears that there is only S13,S 32,-
500. 65 which cannot be claimed to meet
some lawful obligation. The balance is
made up, as will be seen by the above fig
ures, and by careful study Of the month
ly debt statement, Of coin certificates,
Unpaid interest, gold for the re-
demption of bonds called ein by
the sinking fund, &c, &c, together with .
large amount of silver coin and bullion
which cannot be used either for the pay
ment of interest on the public debt or of
gold certificates or coupons, and which is
really simply fund accumulated for the
redemption of fractional currency.
Those unacquainted with the arrange
ment of the monthly debt statement may
feel that the amount Of coin on hand in the
treasury is much smaller than they have
supposed, but careful examination will
convince them that every one OF the var
ious items reckoned as coin on hand has
been given in the monthly statements, ex-
cept perhaps interest which has accrued
since the commencement of the month, and
there remains as available cash coin the
amount of S13, $50. $685. IS.
