We are indebted to Hon. Joseph j.
Davis, the accomplished representa-
tive in Congress from the Raleigh Dis
trict, for a number OF the Congress
sional Record containing his adrira-
BILE speech, delivered in the House of
Representatives on Friday last
Mr.. Da Wis demonstrated the response
bility of the Radical party for the evil
times that have befallen the country
and showed by uncontrovertable facts
and figures. not only the extravaganza
but the gigantic frauds of which that
party had been guilty. The concIud-
ing portion of his speech was devoted
to vindication of North Carolina from
the many aspersions cast upon her,
especially from the assaults of Mr.,
Blaine in his notorious Amnesty
speech, in which he read that remark
ably untruthful letter from ex-Gov.
Holden. MI. Davis remarks were q
complete vindication of the State, he
represents and reflects credit upon
both his head and his heart. The
honor aud the interest of North Caro-
lima are safe when in the hands of 5h
men as "Joe Davis" as his frieh5.s love
to call him and we know of no man
who has more or more devoted frieLds
than be.

The recent change of the New York
World on the presidential question
ought not to surprise any one familiar
with the course of that unreliable
paper. 1t has never regained the con-
fidence of the Democratic party it SO
signally lost in 1868, when it proposed
to withdraw the names of SEYMOUR
and BLAIR in the midst of the CAM
paign.
The presidential question is rapidly
becoming befogged. We trust our
delegates will carry cool heads to the
st. Louis Convention to meet the very
heavy responsibility that will there
rest upon them.
Meanwhile it is sufficient to say that
the desertion of Mr.. Tilden by the
World, coupled with the declaration
of Hon. Fernando Wood of New York,
that owing to personal rivalries and
intestine troubles an outside Democrat
can more easily carry that State than
| one of its own sons, would seem most
effectually to dispose of Mr.. Tilden's
| claim to supreme availability.

1t has been suggested, and the sug
gestion is good one, that plank
taken from the National Republican
platform of 1860 be incorporated into
the platform of the Democratic party
by the st. Louis Convention. It cer-
tainly reads well and most wonderfully
appropriately. It is as follows:
"Reso1oed, That the people justly
view with alarm the reckless extrava-
gance which pervades every depart
ment of the Federal Government; that
a return to rigid economy and account
ability is Indispensable to arrest the
systematic plumber of the public
treasury by favored partisans; while
the recent startling developments
of frauds and corruptions at the
federal metropolis show that an entire
change of administration is impera-
lively demanded"

FIRST IN THE FIELD.

There are now already in the field
two regularly nominated Presidential
tickets and both were put out by con-
ventions held last week.
The first of these conventions was

Whiskey Prohibitionists. A platform
denouncing the sale of intoxicating
beverages and dealing with other great
questions before the country was
adopted snd candidates were nomi-
mated. Green Clay Smith, of Ken
lucky, was nominated for President
and forthwith accepted. He was born
in Kentucky in 1880, studied law. was
q school commissioner, and a lieu
tenant in the Mexican war. During
the late war he rose to the rank of
major general in the Union army and
participated in some fifty engagements.
was a member of Thirty-eighth and
Thirty-ninth Congresses, and while
still in Congress was appointed Gov
ernor of Montana by President john
ston. From this he rose to be a
preacher in the Baptist church, and is
candidate for the Presidency. s. T.
Stewart, of Ohio, was nominated for
the Vice Presidency.
The other Convention was called
the Grssnback Convention and met
in Indianapolis. Peter Cooper of
New York was nominated for Presi-
dent and Senator Newton Booth OF
California for Vice President. Mr..
Cooper unlike Mr.. Smith declined the
honor of q presidential nomination
and advised the substitution of Will
liam Allen OF Ohio as their candidate;
but William Allen being approached
said he could not think of making any
entangling alliances that might COM
promise his standing as q democrat.
Tire convention therefore stood by
Cooper, whose age, says the hard

WHEREAS, God in his mysterious
providence has removed from our
midst our friend and fellow member,
Edwin W. Fuller, we deem it proper
as faint tribute to his memory to re-
cord upon our minutes the following
resolutions:
ResoLCeG, That this society recog-
nizes in his lie model of gentle man
ners, pure character and noble ambi-
ton; an instance of sterling, modest
worth; a never falling fount of human
sympathy, aud an answering fidelity
TO duty.
Resolved, That We see in the calm
ness of his death the readiness of his
spirit to accept the eternal life so beau
tifully portrayed by his earthly genius.
Resolued, That while his loss belongs
not to the State, nor to the nation, but
to humanity, and while we feel that
we especially have suffered, We rejoice
that he has builded his own imperish-
able monument, and we enroll his
name among the fairest, the purest
and tie noblest of our illu5trious dead.
Resolped, That copy Of these res
olutions tie furnished to his family and
the public.

Referring to Governor Brogden's

Referring to Governor Brogden's
refusal to make requisition for the
North Carolina Radical rogues in the
Alabama Legislature, the Montgomery
(Ala.) Advertiser says: "He evidently
thinks that the talents of Jones and Car
son can'tbe spared from the Republican
party just now. They are needed to
rally the boys and hence must be kept
out of the penitentiary at all hazards.
We are glad to believe that a gentle
man and an honest man will be the
Governor of North Carolina before the
year 1875 comes to an end, and that
her present protector of thieves will
be retired to private life."

MIR. robson, the Secretary of the
Navy, pronounces the statement APP
pearing in some OF the papers to the
effect that the testimony shows that
the Cattells have paid him large sums
of money which they cannot account
for, to be entir ely false; that, on the
contrary, he says, the truth is, and
that the testimony already taken shows
that they never paid to or advanced
for him since he came into the Navy
Department any money which was OF
repaid by him, except the cost of the
Monmouth Beach cottage, the repay
ment of which is amply secured to
them.

THE new wAn SECRETARY.

The appointment of Don Cameron,
son of Senator, Simon Cameron of
Pennsylvania, removes any lingering
doubt that may have existed as to
President Grants purpose to secure
the Cincinna,i nomination for Senator
Conkling of New York. In other
words the new appointment is looked
upon as the price paid for the Came
ron influence in manipulating the
Pennsylvania delegation to the Repub
lican National Convention in favor of
Conkling.
The delegates from that State are
instructed to vote for Governor Hart
ranft, but that, it is we'll understood,
is to be a mere complimentary vote.
After that is done the delegation
will be free to vote as it pleases,
that is to say as free as the
representatives of any party that
owns Simon Cameron for a master. can
be free. The status of the Pennsyl-
vania delegation to Cincinnati may
now be considered as fixed. Simon
Cameron has made good his boast that
he would live to see his son occupying
seat in the Federal Cabinet.
The new Secretary is said to be a
man of fine business capacity, and as
he has money enough to be under NJ
temptation to steal, it is more than
probable he will be an improvement on
Belknap.
But what commentary it is upon
the corruption of Radical officeholders,
that men are not expected to steal
when they 60 into Office only when
they already have as much money as

In the House of Representatives at
Washington on Monday last the
Speaker pro tenn. presented the re-.
port of the Committee on Rules on
the
CHARGES AGAINST DooRKEEPER FITz-
The committee say that, as .he
whole matter was referred to them,
they took up the questions affecting
general character. The committee
permitted the accused to produce all
the evidence and papers he desired.
1. AS to the charge of Matchmaking
a Federal officer in Texas. that was
lisproven, aud the party who made
the charge was not worthy of credence
Governor Davis, who is opposed to
Mr.. Fitzhugh in politics, testifies to
his unimpeachabie character while in
Texas.
2. AS to the charge of larceny and
arson in Kentucky. the committee
took the statement of Judge Durham,
who was counsel for Fitzhugh on his
trial, and Judge Durham says if he
had been on the jury he would have
been compelled to acquit. The COM
mittee had no evidence to show that
the verdict was not right
B. AS to the letter written in De-
cember last to a friend in Texas, the
committee lnqun ed whether the letter
showed that Fitzhugh was a man of
such discretion and sense as TO be in =
trusted with the responsible duties de-
volvlng upon him ss doorkeeper. As
to the manner III which the letter was
| made public the committee had moth
ing to do. They give him the full
benefit OF the fact that he would not
appoint to- office the man who held the
letter over him in terror. The COM
| mittee then show the responsibility of
the doorkeeper's position, and say that
the letter shows that he has not such
well balanced mind as to properly
| execute his grave responsibilities The
letter Is foolish, and gives evidence of
an unevenly balanced mind, while the
appointment of his son to a high DO
sltion shows a violation of the rules OF
| the
CIVIL SERVICE.
There is enough liz the letter to
| show him unfit for his office, and the
| committee recommend the adoption OF
| two resolutions:
| First. That the 0ffice of doorkeeper
be vacated By the present incumbent,
| Second That tie duties of door.
keeper be devolved temporarily upon
the sergeant-at-arlns.
The resolutions were adopted.
