The assessments on the office-holders thus
far have brought out nearly five millions,
proportionate part of which has been sent
to Indiana. Thus it will be observed the
taxpayers, having put body OF irresponsi-

their money to enable these thieving scoun-

dishonored.-C Chicago Times. i ..@,:

The Hayesite journals commenced a few
days ago to tickle their fancy with feather
busters, alleged purchases OF Blue Jeans
while chairman Of the Committee on Ac-
counts. They found cork-screws, tooth
brushes, cosmetics, and various articles
suggesting luxury, and cried, with great
unanimity and In tone OF derision, scratch
the fustian on the outside Of this fellow and
you'll find a silk undershirt. They de-
nounced such purchases as robbories, and,
generally, were in high glee at their dis
coyery. Just now, however, they are In
mourning. The purchases were all made
by the Republican clerk OF the House, who
turned them over to Jeans Us the official Gus
todian OF such property. Jeans put stop
to such nonsense. There may be silk shirt

A correspondent of the Salem Register
writing. from Franklin county says: had
the pleasure Of meeting my old friend and
school mate, Colonel David S. Graves, who
is nm independent candidate Tor Congress
in this district. My interview with him was
short, from the fact he was amember OF the
grand Jury which was in session during
most of my stay. Learned, however, that
he is a candidate, and intends to run the
race through. he is neither for Tilden and
Hendricks nor Hayes and Wheeler, but says
he could cheerfully supportfa ticket with
Hendricks for President and Hayes for the
second positition; which to my mind seemed
to be q rather strange mixture OF incon-
gruous elements, he says he is going to
canvass the mountain counties OF the dis

! A crowd, which the lowest estimate places
at four thousand, assembled IN Cnarlotte
Thursday to hear the discussion between
Governor Vance and Judge Settle. Twenty
mounted marshals escorted Governor Vance
from his home, in four-horse phaeton{ to
the Central Hotel, where Judge Settle was
invited to join him. The two rode together
to the ground. Judge Settle opened the
debate. No especial new points were
brought out in the discussion. The very
best Of order prevailed, for which Judge
Settle expressed himself as profoundly
thankful Towards the conclusion OF the
debate Judge Settle became angry, and an
animated colloquy occurred between Coy
ernor Vance and himself. No interruption
occurred, however, and the day passed on
with marked quietade considering the
crowd. Judge Settle did not do himself
credit to-day, while Governor Vance was
immense. Raleigh (N. C.) Neacs.
