conclusions are. He says the Democrats are
shaping their policy, so as to carry, if posi-.
BILE, the next House. 1t is regarded as high.
ly important that the next House and Senate
both should be Democratic in case there is no
election by the people in 1880. The purpose
of the fraud investigation under the Potter
resolutions, Mr.. Tillman thinks, is really to
make clear case for the pending elections.
The Democrats wish to make it so plain that
the most blinded partisan can see the fact of
a fraud. This consideration is the true &C.
cret of Republican opposition to the investi-
CATION in the face of the repeated declara-
tions of many of their leading papers and
men that Mr.. Hayes is in office by we'll
known fraud. The Augusta Chronicle and
Sentinel thus gives Mr.. Tillman's views as to
the necessity of the Democrats being wise
and cautious:
"The rock of danger to the Democracy is
lest they prove too much and become intoxi-
Gated with success, so much 80 that they might
fall into the eager claws of Mr.. Dana, of the
Sun, and resort 10 proceedings against the
President which would be little short of
revolution, if it were not actually the thing
ITSELF
ut is computed that there at least fifty
Democrats in the House who contemplate
that possibility, while there are three or four
Republicans who want strict investigation
of Florida and Louisiana, not to displace Mr..
Hayes, but to disgrace him.
"The Democrats Of an ultra type ought to
be extremely cautious when they see man
like the editor of the New York Sun attempt
ing to rally" them, and when Senator Conk-
ling and General Benjamin Butler appear as
sympathizers- specialy as both men are re-
ported to have said that they would fare bet
ter with Tilden than with Hayes"
Practical Sense and Humor.
- The frequent humorous remarks by
Governor Vance, in his public addresses and
on other occasions, which flashes Of wit al.
ways obtain greatest prominence in reports of
his speeches, naturally enough lead those un-
acquainted with the man to suppose that he
never indulges serious thought. Such,
however, is far from tho fact. Underneath
the current of jocularity which ripples on
the surface, there is, in the mind Of North
Carolinas favorite statesman, a steady, never
failing stream of good, practical sense, which
reveals itself when occasion requires. In
recent address before the Grangers of Ala.
nance, at Company's Shops, the Governor
said /: "Our youth must he taught, and they
must learn to labor. We have too much
Greek and Latin and not enough of agricul-
tural chemistry" He then briefly reviewed
the English system requiring every male per.
son to learn trade, and continued, "Our
young men can be made to learn to love az.
riculture, but we must work differently; we
must lead them and they must follow. Much
education spoils workers, because they are not
practical farmers" This, by the average
mind, will be accepted as sound doctrine; and
no less true we fear, is the proposition which
he humorously laid down in his address at
Charlotte on the Twentieth, paying tribute
to the women. Closing his remarks in eulogy
OF the sex, he said:
TO the women of the land, God bless them !
was much praise due that the fires of patriot
ism we're kept ever burning in the hearts of
men. They are foremost in every good work.
But for them the custom of strewing flowers
each year upon the graves of our heroes
would long since have passed away, and but
for their presence here to-day nine.tenths of
the men now here would be going about their
everyday business. The speaker had been
given credit for very great familiarity with
the Scriptures; indeed, it lad been said Of
him that he knew more of the Bible and
practiced less of it than any other man in
the State. But however that might be, he
had lately fallen upon an Interpretation of
certain Biblical text which he did not find
laid down by any of the commentators. 1t
is said that in heaven there is neither marry
ing nor giving in marriage, and this he con.
ceived to mean that there we're 80 many moro
women there than men that there could not
be found men enough to 60 round.
