The RcputliatiOn Vote.

The House passed the bill on Saturday
to repeal the act for the resumption of
specie payment in 1879. This repudiates
the formal pledge of Congress so far as
the House could do it to return to specie.
The vote shows plainly enough on which
party the country must rely for honest
money. There were log votes for re-
pudiation. of which the Democrats furn-
ished 9S, the Republicans only 8. There
were sc votes against reputation, of
which Republicans furnished 60, the
Democrats 2G. Stated in another form,
the Democrats stood 90 to 26 for rcpudi-
alton; the Republicans stood 60 to 8
against it. OF the s Republicans who
joined the ignoble band of regulators 3
were from Indiana, from Illinois, . from
Ohio, and from Michigan.

country, then they are incendiaries, insti-
gators of color warfare, british black
guards, in fact Billingsgate does not con-
tain sufficient epithets to satisfy the
appetite for vulgarity and indecency' SO,
to cap the climax, the assassins and MUIR
derers finish off with hurting the word
carpet-bacgers at all those who offend
them. They used to call their foes, in
old times, abo!itionists, but the sting has
been pulled out of that term. As to the
crime of being carpet-bagger, it is not
the carrying of carpet-hag that gives
offense, but it is the remembrance that so
mahy of those who carry their valise
around in search of freeman's right TO
dwell where he pleases in the Republic,
acquired that right for himself and his
fellow-c citizens by carrying knapsack.
SO when they meet a hero of the KNAPP
sack the assassins get up a renconfre or an
emeute, or an affair, or an occurrence, or
collision, for why should man with the
record Of having carried a knapsack
wound the sensibiltieS of gentlemen who
carry pistols in their belts and knives in
their boots?"

"In North Carolina the republicans are making

restless. North Carolina is perhaps the only
Southern State where the color-ne does not ex-
ist in politics. There is less intolerance and pro-
scrpion there than elsewhere. The republicans
have nominated for Governor Judge Settle, a
member of one of the oldest families who served
in the Confederate army and is now on the Su-
preme Bench The value of such nomination is
seen in the vigorous campaign which has been
opened. Already the republicans make lnroads
upon their opponents. The Hon. Lot w. Hum

State Central Executive Committee, and recently
State Senator, has formally pronounced for Hayes.

Withdrawal of Mr.. Stevens.

TO the Republicans Of the Third Congressional
District Contention:
When assented to be a candidate for
Congress in the Third District. it was with
the presumption that the theory of county
and town lines in the selection Of the Rep
resentative of the whole District, had been
discarded, because in conflict with the
plain intent Of the law, and pernicious in
its tendencies when sought to be carried
out. But a vigorous appeal to local and
sectional feelings has shown that public
sentiment in the District has not yet reach
ed the conclusion of rejecting the "rotary
notion" of Congressional representation.
Esteeming the harmony and success of the
Republican party above personal or local
considerations, cheerfully yield 10 what
seems to be a majority sentiment in favor
of the county line theory, which has an
excellent candidate in Hon. Stephen D..
Lindsey of Norridgewock. He is honest.
sound Republican, and will render able
and effective service to the position to
which it is proposed to elect him. None
will give him more hearty support than
myself.
To that large minority of the elected
delegates of the Convention, nearly one
half of your body. favorable to my nomi-
nation, on the ground that the District is a
amt and the locality of the Representative
of minor Importance, tender my sincere
thanks. Declining the use of my name in
the Convention either for the long or short
term, as ever during my twenty-five years
connection with the Republican party, l
will do my utmost for the largest possible
Republican majority in the Third District,
and in the State.
