When Blaine made the wicked
speech which rekindled tue slum Der
ing embers of sectional hate and made
them give out lurid flame, be believed
he was treading the path that led to
the Presidency the goal of his ambi-
ton. Had he known Senator Morton
as well as we do, he would have been
aware that he was travelling road that
led to dangerous ground, for all that
territory had been pre-empted by the
Senator years ago. Morton also had
the right of possession, which lawyers
declare to be nine points in law. He
had built house upon his ground,
and from its steeple raised to bloody
shirt as an emblem of his principles.
When Blaine put his foot on tie do
mains of has Western rival, he was a
-trespasser, and right Soon did he find
it out. He persisted, however, in
main aiming his sqnatter rights. and 1T
took heroic treatment on the part of
the lord of the manor to force the iu-
truder from his dominions.

GANG RES Sc

We are sorry that Congress IS be-
.;,,i,o to talk about adjournment,
nd soon an earnest effort will be MADE
ookinp to that end. The Washington
Rc,2ublieaH very naturally says s''.e
lie adjournment will be the only sensl-
BILE thing the present House OF hepfe-
sentatives has yet done-an admission
made amidst the. wreck or Caoaaet
officers P-esidentialS SECRETARIES. Post
tra,1ers. District Ring manipuiators
md Crooked Whiskey spectators.
But those who only see the good
fruits of the present Democratic House
in the Investigations which 1t mas
and it making, and in the exposure
of crimes and the conviction OF criml :
nails. will underestimate its real Value
to the county. No House OF hepfe-
so,tatives which has met for quarter
of a century has done better service
for the whole country. The Approprl-
ations Committee alone has inaugural
ed reforms, cut down salaries and ap-
propriations which will save the publlc
treasury upwards of fifty millions oil dol
lars annually--a sum more than the en-
tire'annual cost of the government from
its foundation until 1853, and nearly
equal to the total yearly expenditures
ND to the breaking out of the war be-
tween the States.
The people Will soon feel the bene-
fetal effects of this legislation, and 1t
will 90 fer towards rescuing the coun-
try from the financial and commercial
depression in which the Republican
party has involved US. Driving out
the thieves and reducing the pupl1c
expenses to the most economical mar
gin. will restore the confidence of the
people and lend new energies and life
to every business enterprise.
The present House of Repres enta-

WASHINGTON. April 19--The House
committee on territories is still undo
cided as to what name to give New
Mexico in admitting this territory as
State. Montezuma was at one time
agreed upon, but the vote was rncon-
sidered. Mr.. Meade of New York,
made an eloquent appeal to let the
historical name of Montezuma remain,
but was overruled. He then sug-
gested that the committee might drop
the yuma aud call it Monte. which be-

would be entirely appropriate. Mr..

RICHMOND HILL, Yadkin
CO., April Goth, 1876.
DEAR JOURNAL These ceatennial
days of glory and reflection have not
alole the good effect. of harmonizing
the discordant elements of our coun' ry
and uniting them upon the common
platform of national pride and pros
perity, but likewise of arousing the
Individual pride of each State aud Sec
ton. This Is happy consequence for
North Carolina. Possessed al she is
of an enviable share of the glory and
renown of heroic times, and the uu-
surpassed diversity and worth of her
local advantages, it ts q matter Of sur
prise that North Carolinians are not
p;ouder than they are. Recent devel-
opments show that quite one seven
teenth of the small population of the
State have found inferior advantages
but more sympathy and encourage
ment on other soils. The wealth thus
abstracted to enrich other soils, the
flowers thus transplanted TO beautify
other fields have weakened, but not
exhausted the old North state; and
is causing. North Carolinians to ex-
change for, their proverbial modesty
and reproaohabie deiicacy the fast
growing principles of magnsnimity
and State pride, and to claim for their
State and her institutions the merit
and superiority they so justly have.
A thorough acquaintance forces me
to the conclusion that North Carolina
has cause to be proud Of her institu-
ton here. I alIude to the law school
of Judge Pearson. The thorough
tracing OF the law from its origin in
primeval days to the present, admiring
at every turn the noble monuments of
antiquity and the more curious refine
ments of modern art, tracing indeed
the most simple law in force in the
State to its earliest fountain head of
reason and necessity, and the thor
ough discussion of the reason and true
principle of the law; these qualities, /
say, are what have ranked this school
inferior to none of it's kind in the
United States.

WASHINGTON, April Is.
A COPY of the London Hour of April
/. which was received here to-day,
contains some interesting letters writ
ten by Gen. r. @. Schenck in 1870,
when he was chairman of the ways
and means committee. A man named
Fisher, in connection with w. IL.
REYNOLDS, had a scheme to setl.the
bonds of the FREEHOLD Land Emigra-
ton Company, concern organized
under charter from the territorial
Legislature of Colorado. They wants
ed additional legislation from Con-
gress and Schenck agreed to procure 1t
for consideration. The letters were
in possession of Fisher, in London,
where he had come to sell the bon'ls.
The scheme was failure and Schenck
got Fisher taken into the Emma mine,
where he also lost money. After this
Fisher sailed for this country on the
Inflated Atlantic and went to the bot
tom of the sea in her. His effects were
sold in London, and McDougai, now
president of the Emma Mining Com :
pany, purchased his trunks, which
contained a lot of letters. These he
caused to be printed in the Hour, the
organ of the Emma Mining Company.
They show conclusively that Schenck,
while member OF Congress-, sold his
influence.
WASHINGTON, April IS.
Gen. Custer appeared before the
House Committee on Military Affairs
to-day in relation to the charge against
Gen. Merrill of receiving $1,000 as a
bride. Gen. Custer test fed that all
the information he possessed on the
subject was contained in q private let
ter to himself, the author of which he
did not wish to disclose. He said he
notified his superior officer, and also
notified the Wax Department, but no
notice had been taken of the matter.
He disclaimed any intention OF wish
ing to persecuta or injure Gen. Mer-
rilI. The story had come to him, and
he had given the information. Beyond
that he knew. nothing about the
matter.
