Hon. John Welsh, of Pennsylvania,
has been confirmed as minister to Eng
land, and the most favorable comment
that hasb been made of him is that he is
mot generally known. Some of the
Northern papers, however. have found
ont enough about him to charge that he
owns slaves in Cuba. He denies this,
however, and says that he has sold his
interest in a farm out there, or in other
words his conscience would not permit
him to own slaves himself, and therefore
he has sold them to some one else. Even
his name was unknown at first, ard went
the rounds Of the press as "Walsh." We
have also the assurance thsthe is wealthy,
and if our diplomacy goes to the dogs, he
will be able to initiate Pierrepont in ex-
travagant style, and will no doubt, be as
much of lion as his predecessor was re-
Gently in everything that pertained to
show, or in other words illustrate the
fable which teaches that donkey can
sput on lions hide, even if he docs have
to substitute bray for genuine roar.

The opinion seems general that the
President is losing ground for the lack of
energy and life in his administration.
His peace policy may make him popular
with the people and more honorable in
history than his predecessor in the White
House will be; but unless he takes hold
of the opposition to him more energeti-
cally and displays stronger will and more
clearly defined resolution, he will be
political failure and fall short Of the
prominent position that is within his
grasp. John Tyler and Andrew johnson
ignored their parties and proved blessings
to their country, but even with their firm
wills and undaunted course, they dug
their own graves in political life. Presi-
dent Eayes has initiated them in ignoring
party, and it is now evident that for the
future he is dead politician. Itrenaains,
however, to be seen whether he has the
steady purpose and resolution to play the
reform role to the end. If he does, per-
.sonally his popularity is assured, and the
ccantry will be benefited by his course.
IF he does not, he will soon fall from the
sublime to the ridiculous. Which is to
become history is the problem of to-day.

The Republican members of the United
States Senate caucussed on last Saturday
from eleven to FIVE O'Clock, relative to the
course they should pursue towards Presi-
dent Hayes and his administration. 1t
MAS ascertained that considerable ma
jority of them differed from the President
on either bis 'sciyil service" order, or his
Z Southern policy" but the majority also
favor bearing. the ills that be rather than
flying to those they. know not ci by an
tagonizing the administration. The re-
suit of this caucus only shows the more
plainly that the President must eonciliate
the Democrats or fall before their oppo-
siticn. If his party was unitedis would
be all they could do, before solid Dem.
ocracy, to sustain him with their small
majority, and when it $50 badly divided,
as to the President he is in the hands of
the Democracy.

which is published in State where whis-
key ought to be good if anywhere, con-
firms the statement that probably nine
hundred and ninety gallons out of
every thousand that are sold as brandy
are made from vile compound of whis-
key swill, distilled spirits and chemical
denominations, and adds: "And as it is
also equally true of whiskey, what in the
name of goodness are we all to do for
something to drink? 1t looks as if we
are to be driven to the pump in spite of

villainous stufs brandy and whiskey and

of drunkards would be about the last, or
at any rate all future crops would be
small. Nearly all, or quite all, the
liquors that are retailed nowadays are
undoubtedly slow but sure poison, and
to drink them habitually is simply a
roundabout way of committing suicide,
and unless you guard yourself carefully
the way is not so very roundabout either.

RIGHT MAN IN THE RfaHT PLACE,

We are gratifed to learn that the Hon.
B. F. Crayton, of this place, was, on
Tuesday last, elected President of the

the Society may rest assured that its in

TRIAL OF ROBERT sMALLs, N. C.

= After the jury in the caseiof Cardozo
had rendered a verdict Of guilty, the case
of the State against Smalls, member of
Congress, for accepting a bribe was called.
Smalls, who had attended that trial, and
from the verdict of the jury ascertained
that the; ;colored members could not be
relied on to acquit persons of their color
without any regard to the evidence or
law, now became very uneasy, and d.by his
counsel, Judge Melton, filed a petition to
have his case transferred, under the Civil
Rights Bill, to the United States Court.
He claimed this right on the following
grounds, because he is person of color:
the newspapers and people had com
,mented on his offense; that he could not
have a fair and impartial trial before
Judge Townsend; and because he holds
an Office in Congress now under contest,
and that this Indictment is the result Of
a conspiracy to deprive him Of his Office.
After full argument of ali the points by
Judges Carpenter and Melton for the
Petitioner, and Mr.. Youmans and Gen.
Conner for the State, Judge Townsend
over-ruled the motion, and filed an elab-
crate opinion to sustain his decision, and
directed the trial to proceed. Judge
Melton gave notice of exceptions to the
decision of the Court. We do not sup.
pose Judge Melton will take the case up
on these exceptions, for they are too weak
to claim the serious attention Of any
Court, and if they should be sustained
would destroy the criminal jurisdiction Of
the State Courts, a result to which nc
State of the American Union, North OF
South, would be willing to submit. The
trial of Smalls proceeded, and jury
composed of s.. whites and six colored
was empaneled TO try the case. Theevi-
dence against Smalls was clear and con-
elusive and the jury brought in verdict
ofguilty. Judge Melton will probably
take the case to the Supreme Court on
some of the many exceptions he filed to
the rulings ofthe Court during the trial,
but these appeals can only delay the pun
ishment which the guilty culprit SO rich
ly merits. L. Cass Carpenters case will
be next tried, and the people of South
Carolina will not be satisfied until fail
and impartial jury has passed upon the
guilt or innocence of the great leaders in
corruptionin South Carolina, to wit
Patterson, Chamberlain and Kimball.

THE FRENCH CRISIS.

The second election in France, which
was for Council General, came off on
Sunday, the 4th of this month, and re-
suited in gain for the Republicans.
The Councils formerly stood: Conserva-
tives majority in forty-seven divisions; !;
the Republicans in thirty-nine and one
Independent The result of the last elec-
ton gives majorities as follows: Con-
servatives in forty-two; Republicans in
thirty-nine; one doubtful; and five
equally divided. Considering the i'm
mense efi>-ts made by the government
of Marshal McMahan to defeat them the
Republican gains are very significant,
and will probably cause the retirement of
the Cabinet. The people have pro-
nounced clearly for the Republic, and the
administration of the President cannot
further encroach upon the rights of the
people as citizens of Republican gov
ernment, without precipitating trouble to
an extent it is unprepared to meet. The
legislative council met in Versailles on
Wednesday, the 9TH inst. In the Senate
nothing of interest occurred, and when
the Chamber of Deputies met M. Louis
Philippe Desseaux (radical republican,
from Rouen, Department of the Seine In
ferieure, occupied the chair, NJ. Desseaux
spoke in eulogy of the late M. Thiers,
who, he declared, deserved well of his
country. He added that the present
Chamber would labor to strengthen the
Republic and defend it against all attacks,
regardless from whom they came, and
concluded with cry of "Kiue la Repub-
Hgue! Viue la pair!
NJ Grevy, Republican, was then chosen
Provisional President of the Chamber by
vote of 29O to 17O, and M. Rameau
moderate republican, from Versailles,
Department of the t-Oise, and NJ.
Lepere (radicalrepublican) from Auxerre,
Department of Yonne, were elected Vice
Presidents. NJ. Grevy in taking the chair
thanked the Chamber in brief and cool
speech for the honor.
The sitting of both bodies was termi-
mated without receiving any message from
the President. Nothing of interest has
occurred in the sessions up to the last
reports, but changes are constantly looked
for and a new ministry is daily expected.
The President will try to choose Con-
servative ministry again, and will doubt
less nominate more acceptable men, but
the Republicans will consent to nothing
short of Republican cabinet. This may
precipitate trouble, but present indica-
tions are that the crisis has past and the
Republic of France is safe for while
longer at least.

James G. Blaine does not want the
Republican nomination for President in
1880, as he is satisfied the Democrats
will elect the President at that time, but
he believes there >will be 8 chance for
him four years afterwards, and will take
the nomination in 1884 if he can get it,
That is long time ahead for a man WHO

the enjoyment of the prize which is SO

FOURTH DISTRICT.


Tie Democrats would indeed be hard
to please it they were not satisfied with
the result of the Fall elections which
have passed. Fifteen States have voted
for State officers, namely: New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Virginia, Ohio, Mississippi, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska and
California. Of these, only five went for
Tilden last Fall-New York, New Jer-
sey, Maryland, Virginia and Mississippi.
All the others voted for Hayes. This
year, all five of the States which went
for Tilden have been carried by the DEM
ocrats, and Pennsylvania, Ohio and Cali
fornia have gone Democratic by hand
some majorities. Local elections were
also held in Connecticut, which seem to
indicate Republican gains, but they are
not substantial, and result from the lack
of effort on the part of the Democrats.
In New York we nave gained at least
one Senator and six representatives in
the State Legislature. These facts prove
that the country realizes the enormity Of
the crime perpetrated in the last election,
and is determined to punish it by driving
from power the party which championed
the fraud. The remark of Gov. Tilden,
that "the men who are elected must be
inaugurated," is the talisman Of victory,
and wherever it is inscribed as the battle
cry, victory perches almost invariably
upon the standard which bears it. The
changes in the next Electoral College
will be immense, if things stand as they
do to-day. Last year Hayes had 1S5
votes, counting Pennsylvania. Ohio, CAL
ifornia, Louisiana, Florida and South
Carolina. Without these States, Tilden
had 1874. These States have an aggre-
gate of rs votes; hence if they be taken
from Hayes vote, or the Republican ma
iority as counted in the Electoral College
last year, and added to the Democratic
vote, the figures would stand-Republi-
can, 10; Democrats, 259; or majority
of 149, which allows the Democrats to
lose seventy-four votes from States they
now have, and still elect the next Presi-
dent. In financial point of view, these
elections equally clearly speak the con-
demnation of the policy ofrepublicanism.
The silver dollar has been tenderly ham
died by all, and most of the conventions
have passed resolutions favoring it, in
Difference to the peoples will. Resump-
ton has also been treated with disfavor,
and a postponement demanded by the
people at the polls. Altogether, the re-
suit is most encouraging, not only to the
Democratic party, but to all true friends
of the Republic and its Constitution.

Honest John ]. Patterson has, it is
said, at last yielded to the pressure of his
Republican friends, and consented to ask
for an investigation Of the charges against
him. What is to be the result of this de-
termination on his part is difficult to pre-
dict, but for our part we believe it will
remain an unexecuted determination. 1t
will be surprising if be should ask for an
investigation, for if it is properly con-
Quoted it cannot have any other conclu-
sion than his expulsion from the seat
which his foul presence now disgraces.
Unless he has the arrangement made to
secure the appointment of committee
of Republican Senators, as reckless of
their duty as those who composed the in
famous electoral commission, in whom
he can implicitly rely for whitewash-
ing, he will not be likely to request any
investigation but it is probable that he
sees the extremity in which the Repub-
licans find themselves on account of their
small majority in the Senate, and intends
to use these circumstances to his advan-
tage by making them give him an en-
dorsement of character in order to retain
Republican Senate. In their extremi-
ty it is not improbable that the Repub-
licans may consent to retain fellowship
with such notorious corruptionist as the
South Carolina Radical Senator, and to
Justify them in doing so they may be
willing to go through the sham of an IN
vestigation but if it is attempted there
is every probability that the evidence
will be SO strong against them that even
the unblushing etfrontery of Republican
Senators cannot and will not submit to
an association with such concentrated in
carnation of all that is despicable and to
be loathed in the character of man.
The presence of Patterson in the Senate
is an insult to the American name that
cannot be atoned by anything short OF
his expulsion. We hope for the sake Of
our country's name in history, as we'll as
for the Senatorial dignity of our govern
ment, that Patterson's days as a member
of the most exalted branch of our Ma
tional Congress are about ended, and
that no such renegade may ever again
disgrace the position that has been filled
by q Calhoun and a Hayne.
