The Asheville Erpositor in every
issue reflects the earnest desire of the
| people of the West to form business
aud social relations with the people oi
Wilmington and the Cape Fear region.
The EapOsitor gives us these items:
Col. 8. l.. Fremont, the efficient
superintendent of the Carolina Cen
trail, is in Asheville, in the interest of
of our great contemplated railroad
connection. We hope Col. Fremont
will see the necessity of a speedy
connection of the mountains and the
Sea-
Col. Fremont, on his way to this
place, stopped at Hickory to have a
conference with the people of that
place, in reference to a connection of
the Carolina Central with the W, N.
Q. r. r. at Hickory, via Lincolnton.
The managers of the Western North
Carolins Railroad Company have in
contemplation the change of the bed
of the road, SO as to come via of Como
yer and Newton, and at the same time
avid the "branch" now extending from
the main trunk to Newton.
It is said that Col. Tate has made
application for an additional number
of couvicts for the Western North
Carolina Railroad.
Rumor says, that convicts will soon
be placed on the road west of Ashe-.
vile. on the Ducktown line.

WAsHINGT IN, April 26.
All the committees on expenditures
i'll the various departments of the gov
ernmert are practically at q stand-stiil
now, because the President has issued
a Derem ptory order that no original
papers shall be suffered TO so outside
the various departments 70 which they
belong. The rules of the Honse of
R>prrsentat yes require these commit
tees ''to examine int, the state OF the
expenditures respectively submitted
to them, and to inquire and report
particularly whether the claims from
lime to time satisfied and discharged
by tbs respective dep ,rtments
are supported by sufficient vouch-
ers, esta abiishing Their business.
both as to their character and
amount; whether such claims have
been discharged ont Of funds appro--
priated therefor, and whether. all
r7oneys have been disbnrsed in con-
formi' y with appropriation law OF
course it is utterly Impossible for the
variOus committees on expenditures to
do any or ali Of these things which the
ri 'ps # the House require tho m TO do,
il the vouchers are withheld Tor them.
L. some instances copies OF tie Vouch-
era might suffice but i'll m"uy cases it
is absolutely necessary for the origi-
uals to be inspe cted and examined
carefully to see whether any changes
or alterations in them have been
made. The President evidently means
to tn, ow every obstacle in he way of the
Investigations ordered by the House,
and this order in regard to original
papers is only part of the general
policy which the leaders of the Re-
publican party has determined on.
They see plainly that unless some
thilg is done to put a. stop to the ex-
posures which come thick and fast
under the probing process of the dem
ocratic House there will be nothing
left of their party, and hence a united
and determined effort is to be made to
so cbstruct the Investigations as to
confine them to as small a sphere as
possible. The course of Jay Gould S
organ in New York in decrying ard at
tempting to belittle all OF the Investiga-
tions is also part of the same plan.

Albany Cor. \. Y. Tribune, April %.
To make Il long story short, the
Goveruor's friends are not only c)n
tiden5 Of his nomination at st. Louis,
but some of the more sanguine of
them expect to see bis nomination
virtually made AID generally conceded
before the national convention comes
together. As for getting at the exact
grounds on wh!cu this expectation is
founded, that IS a cliff rent matter.
They do not seem to care to let their
estimates or their expectations go iutO
| print. They have New York already,
| the Connecticut delegates are said to
| have expressed themselves uDani-
mously for Governor TIlden; Vermont
| l. counted on for share of it's dele
| CATION, and l. Will be. strange If Gov
| ernOr Tilden has no friends in tue
| Massachusetts, aud Maine delegations
| In the South there IS good reason TO
| believe that he has great strength. A
| maj )rity of the delegates from Georgia,
South Carolina, North Carolina and
| Virginia, aud the entire deieg ,ti0ns
| from Maryland and Delaware VIII, it
| is thought here, be for Mr.. Bayard
| but not only is it understood that there
| il the best of feeling between Cover
nor Tilden and Mr.. Bayard, as we'll hs
between Governor Tllden and other
cand dates. but there seems to. be a
i general expectation that the same
! States which will vote for one will
vote for the other. in case tho first
| cannot be nominated. If Mr. BtEard' ;
| friends should not make a struggle c
| for the nomination., all t!is
vote will naturally fall to Cover
nor Tilden, who, with this aud
what he has already secured Of the
| Southern Delegations; would seem
likely TO hive q very large propo: tor
| of the vote of the whole Svuth.
| Whether these States can be depended
on to go from Mr.. Bayard to Gov.
| Tilden remains to be seen, but tie
| Democrats here claim Texas, LOulsl-
ana, Arkansas, Alabama and MISSISSIPPI
III, with their so votes in the conven-
ton, assure for Gov. Tilden in any
event, and the nature Of the assurances
they have received from some of these
is such that they cannot we'll be mis-
taken. In the West there is probably
much less favorable showing, but
the recent declaration Of NeDraskt
! may serve to show that in the Other
| hard money States of the West, like
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois
Governor Tllden must have support
ers. Every prominent Democrat il
Wisconsin, almost without exception
is said to have declared himself fo
Gov. Tilden, and that State is, in con
sequence, confidently counted on

,E.,e vanity OF .,uman Wis.,es

There Is no more striking evidence
of the vanity of human amb ton than
III the proposal to sell the house of
Mr.. Jay Cooke, III Pennsylvania, and
the transfer TO railroad company of
the palace of the late Mr.. LeGrand
Lock wood, of Connecticut. Ten years
ago Mr.. Cooke and NS Lockwood
were among tire r.ohest, most cutter
pris1ng and most celebrated merchants
of this country. Wealth rolled upon
them in the fullnesS of a spring tide
With wealth came the am hltIOn to
found family and a home -au amb1
ton which, whatever We may think of
our democratic and liberia! institutions,
seems to be an instinct of human ma
ture Mr. Cooke built his house at
OPantz, which, from reports, cost him
more than million dollars. The
uuctioneer the other day could only
obtain a bid of three hundred and
fifty thOusBnd dollars. Although the
sale was under decree of bankruptcy,
it was postponed. Mr.. Lockwood S
palace at Norwalk cost 81, $50, 900, and
wns recently offered for sale at $l10,-
900. This, the reporter informs us, Is
probably the finest private dwelling in
america, constructed of solid blocks
of granite, finished inside with rose
wood and mahogany and cedar of L r.
banon. Mr.. L ckwood IL dead, aud Il
railroad corporation possesses his do
m9in. Mr.. Cooke is p bankrupt, and
tie unction"ers are vaiuiy asking the
world to buy for song what cost hin
fortune. How true it is, as the
Wisest of men once said: "All is vanity

WAsHINGroN, April 25.-Ihe expert
employed by the printing committee
to-day testified that after most
searching and thorough examination
of the account books of A. NJ Clapp,
government printer, he was led to the
conclusion that the looks were abso-
lutely and entirely false from begin
ming to end, and he could not make
head nor tail of his cash book In this
book he discovered errors in the foot
iugs exceeding four hundred thousand
dollars, but still the cash account
balanced to cent. In addition to
the amount reported as paid into the
treasury for wastage and shavings, his
calculation was that $50, 900 was
unaccounted for up to March 10, 1876.
There were no entries made of locu-
ments and materials furnished TO
firms, amounting to several thousand
dollars. The expert then showed, ac-
cording to the statements made before
the Senate investigating committee two
years ago, that there was far greater
deficit N the transactions on account
of paper since purchased than before
the Senate investigation. The report
also of the money turned into the
treasury appeared inaccurate in every
item, and the treasury accounts, as
compared with his own record of
money received, showed that there was
a large deficiency unaccounted for. In
regard to the bookkeeping at the gov
ernment printing office, in response to
the question of the chairman, the ex-
pert said he could have but one opin-
ion OF the bookkeeper, and that was he
