HOS. LEASE yE.rES

The recent able sp' ech Of the Repre-
sentative from the First Congressional
District, Hon. Jesse J. Yeates, seems
to have made a considerable hutter
among the Republican members and
PRESS, and the effect of his vigorous
blows is thus plainly seen. The speech
was so loudly cheered, and the speaker
so warmly congratulated that the Re
publicans concluded to break its force
by a reply from one of their leading
orators. So the following day Gen
eral Hurlbert, of Illinois, was selected
for the purpose. He labored furiously,
but his speech fell still-born after the
impetuous and telling blows from
Major Yeates. Indeed during the
delivery of Hurlberts speech, one
of the most distinguished Re
publicans of the House approached
Major Yeates and sail while he could
not endorse all he had uttered he
thanked him for tue generous and pa
.triotic s, ntiments which pervaded his
spe, CHI, adding that the champion of
his own putty then on the floor was
falling far short of the mark.
Indeed Major Yeates has received
the most hearty congratulations from
all quarters, among others from New
York's distinguished Senator Judge
K-rnan who Was unstinted in his com
mediation. In few minutes after its
close nearly twenty thousand copies of
the speech were subscribed for, several
Thousand being ordered by telegraph
by the Democratic Executive Commit
tee of Connecticut. There was so much
good sense, SO much freshness and
vigor and truth contained in it that it
took the House by storm. It has
placed M.jor Yeates It once among
the gifted speakers of the body.
It is not to be wondered a, that the
press of Washington and
are endeavoripg to counter
act the effects OF this speech, by at
tacks, good natured however, upon
Major Yeates. But their iibes are
pointless, and their humor unavailing
before his pitiless blows, and the fact
that he was Confederate soldier is
finally the only answer which is made
to his merciless exposures of Repub-
lican shortcomings and crinee-crimet
not only against his Dwn section, but
sgainst common country.
We congratulate the people of his
of the entire State, upon
the possession of such a Representa-
tIve-so patriotic, so fearless, SO able
and so eloquent.

The allegation or insinuatiou the
idea has been put in dozen different
forms-that the Belknap corruptions
began with Mrs. Belknap, and that
she received the first money from the
sale of the post-traderships, is badly
damaged says the Savannah Morning
Neos by the fact that the receipt to
the express company which delivered
the first money forwarded by Marsh j.
signed by W. W. Belknap. Marsh.
to be sure, insisted before the COM
mittee that he paid the first money 20
Mrs. Belknap, but he was much dis
concerted when the chairman informed
him that the express companys re-
ceipt was signed by the Secretary of
War. Marsh says he thought this ar
rangement would disgrace the Be,k-
maps. if it was known, though he did
not think it was criminal. That is.
he thought it was right to bride a
Cabinet officer if he could do it with
out detection. Being good Radical.
there is nothing extraordinary in
Marsh's line of reasoning. OrviIJe

The Washington National Reloat6i
can says there are more white Re
pubiicans in North Carolina than in
the entire South combined" As, ali
told, the Radical party has never
polled 10000 white votes in North
Carolina the positive declaration of the
Republican speaks volumes as to the
color of its party in the South.
The registered negro vote in North
Carolina in 1868 was 3d. The
highest Radical vote ever given in the
State. that for Caldwell in 1872, was
SO. 1872, that is to ssy only 17,205 votes
over their negro strength. This cal
culation, counting as it does all fraud
ulent negro votes and fraudulent
white votes cast for their ticket as legal
white votes, shows that the Radical
party cannot claim vJte beyond
20, 600 as its white strength in North
Carolina. Therefore if there are not
as many white Radicals N all the
South combined as in North Carolina
it follows that there has been a wonder
full deal of cheating at the polls in other
Southern States, which is just what we
suspect is the truth

1t often happens that the ink with

For the benefit OF those seeking post
traderships, says the Washington Re-
publican. it NAV be interesting for
them TO know that mo vacancies are
known at the War Department. and
that the new Secretary of War has Or
dered that in order to secure the po
sition the trader must be recommen led
by the council of administration at the
post. The council of administration
is q majority of the officers of the
post, and the field of pecu!ation is thus
transferred from Washington. Time
was when if there we're no vacancies con-
venient they could easily be made, that
$ if brother Orvil' was ouTof job
and then it was that the field of pecu-
lation was not transferred from Wash

PIERREPONT AND THE PKESI.
DENT.

A Washington special to the New
Orleans Times says: 1.-The question of
veracity between the Attorney General
and the President is of the gravest ma
ture. The President says he never
heard of the Attorney Generals letter
until he saw it 10 print. The Attorney
General on the other hand states posts
lively that the letter was prepared at
the request of the President, or rather
at hi order. The Judiciary Commit
tee will summon the President to testi-
fly. Pierrepont will PROBABLY leave
the Cabinet on this account, as he says
that for some reason Grant has deter
mined to disown his official acts
Commenting upon the issue of
veracity between the President and
his Attorney General referred to in the
above special dispatch the Philadelphia
Times says: Mr.. Pierrepont is one
of those unfortunate men who are al
ways trying to put themselves right
and never quite succeeding. The
worst muddle he has got into yet is
about the letter which Babcock pub !
lisbed. ordering District Attorneys to |
let no guilty witness escape. He las
inspired the Associate / Press, half a
dozen times. to send uut explanations
for him, but the more he explains the
more apparent he makes it that he is /
of his part in that business.
HIS present care is to persuade the
that there is not the slightest
question of veraclty" between him AMI
Grant about the letter, and that their
citations were never of IA more friend
character" tnan now. If Plerrcpont

tlnces, it is nobody's busineas bnt his
wn; but the public can form its own
piuion upon the existence of a ques-
ION of veracity, and the most we can
ay is, thatjf it is the same story that
hey are ali telling, they have pre-
okmgly contradictory way of telling

usher at $1,000; two doorkeepers at

tingent expenses, including stationery,
are $1,000; ths annual repairs cost
80, 600; the annual refurnishing, S1O,-
600; fuel for executive mansion and

ULYSSES AND OGsVII.

The proofs are abundant. says the
New York San, various and positive
that Orvil GRAFT was a large Office
broker. trnfficked in contracts and sold
public patronage to the biggest bid
der through his various advantages as
brother of sthe President. That this
business was conducted on an exteI-
sive scate, and must have been very
profitable, is made manifest by the
disclosures thus far before Mr..
Clymer's CON mittee, and by develop
ments from other sources. With free
access to Information in all the depart
partments. and especially in those
where the practices of jobbery were
most notorious, Orvil Grant enjoyed
opportunities such as perhaps no other
outsider possessed, and he seems to have
utilized them in every possible way
The Presidents lame awed all oppo
sition into silence, and opened doors
which were closed by law and the
usages Of the public service.
If the President had not set the ex-
ample by his personal conduct in a{ :
pointing men to seats in the Cabinet
from whom he had received money,
houses and other property; if he had
not accepted valuable presents and re-
warded the donors with office and pre-
ferment; if he bad not permitted Mrs.
Grant and other members of his
family to receive costly gifts and repay
them with public honors and promo
ton, suspicion would not attach to
him as it now does in connection with
the corr upt transactions of his brother.
But by scandalous disregard of all
propriety and shameful abuses in his
great Office, the President has invited
distrust of his motives, created be-
lief in the public mind that he is
avaricious and venal, and justified the
suspicious now largely entertained
that he has personally shared in the
profits of Owls jobs, and in the
speculations of various rings, whose
chief have been nearest in his conf
dence and favor. These conclusions
are not derived from pnblic rumor,
which has been busy wi Ia the 10 'se

li>hed by Testimony which is crushing,
and which may yet be followed by the
gravest consequences.

A correspondent of the Charlotte
Observer says:
In canvassing the various cand idates
mentioned in connection with the ap-
preaching State election, we are graft
fed to see the name of that pure
patriot and courteous gentleman,
Montfort McGehee, of Person, sug-
gested as a suitable candidate to be
our Lieutenant Governor, and to pre-
side over our Senate. Polite and
atfable in his manners, upright and
above suspicion in his dealings, frank
and manly IN his bearing, there is not
q man III the State who possesses in a
more eminent degree the qualities that
fit him for the important trusts and
high duties incident to tho Office we
have mentioned.
The Observer heartily endorses
what its correspondent says, and de-
clares Mr.. McGehee to be gentleman
gifted with strong mind, possessed
OF extensive Information, an effective
speaker. a stainless patriot and a suos
cessful farmer.
Mr.. McGehee deserves all of this and |
more too. We know of no man in
North Carolina who possesses more. of |
the elements that deservedly command |
honor and respect than Montfort
McGehee. Born with a good mind, he
has improved it by years of close
study and careful reading and by travel
ut home and abroad; a good lawyer
and successful farmer, he has yet
found time to attain rare degree of
literary culture; well versed in his
torical studies, especially curious in
everything pertaining to the history
Of his own State, he is also thoroughly
familiar with the politics of the
past as well as present. But
to these all, great in degree
md admirable in kind as they are, is I

ate life. t
