HON. l.. @. G. LAMAR.

The resignation of Hon. L. Q. c.
Lamar, Secretary of the Interior, and
his confirmation as Associate Justice
of the Supreme court of the United
States, the GOLD LEAF published last
week. Previous to his confirmation
by the Senate the Lenoir Topic said
this:
The manly and patriotic resigna-
ton Of Secretary Lamar ought to en-
dear him to the South if not to the
whole country. He is no vulgar office
seeker who holds like a leach to his
portfolio. If the Senate will not con-
firm his appointment as Supreme Court
Judge he will go down bravely with
out catching wildly at the Secretary
ship of the Interior which he has let
so forever. He is private citizen
and can afford to remain one with
much more honor to himself than the
Senate can afford to make him one by
pouring out its partisan and sectional
rancor upon him in his Supreme Court
Judgeship. We have had little to say
about the unjust war made upon him
by the Republicans in the Senate, be-
cause sensible and brilliant men as
Sherman, Evarts and ingalls, would
stoop to the littleness of ostracislng
the great Southerner simply because
he was a Confederate soldier. That
is their only reason for opposing his
confirmation. They acknowledge that
he is the soul of honor and the mir
rior OF knightly courtesy and their sole
objection to him is that he was q
"rebel' and, twenty-odd years or so
ago, bore arms in the Confederate
army. We are told that the war is
over and that we ought to be one
country, knowing no North and no
South, and forgetting old bitterness.
We try to do 1t in the South and We
try to bury old animosities but, every
time we hold out the olive branch of
peace, We are slapped in the face with
the bloody shirt which some frantic
" statesman" is waving. Every Re-
publican in the Senate, with three ex-
captions, is engaged in this warfare
against Mr.. Lamar and yet we are
charitable enough to believe that they
Northern sentiment. We
are calm and cool and patriotic enough
no, to lay the sins of these mad Re
publican Senators upon the heads OF
the whole Northern people.

A few nights ago Mr.. klosebeyer
called at the police headquarters and
reported that his wife was missing.
She had left the house in the morning,
stating she would only be gone hour;
but at eight o'clock in the evening was
still absent. Mr.. K. had been to the
houses of all their friends, but could
not hear of her Whereabouts, and final
ly appealed to the police, who accom-
panied him back to his home. Upon
their arrival they were surprised to see
Mrs. Klosebeyer walking through the
doorway. loaded down with bargains
which she had bought at Davis where
she had spent the day. The husband S
delight was great on meeting the part
ner of his joys and troubles, and was
much increased when he saw the bar

Pity the in the "Golden North
west" There is great suffering there
on account of the severe cold weather.
An article published on the first page
of the GOLD LEAF will give some idea
of the extent of the suffering there is.
The weather for the past few weeks
has been the coolest known in the
lake regions and the Northwest since
1873. Indeed, general spell Of cold
weather seems to be holding the fort
all over the United States, although
we have SO far escaped anything like
the cold and rigorous weather of last
winter. At Jacksonville, Fla, it has
been freezing, and throughout the
entire country it has been unusually
cold. Another blizzard is loose in
the Northwest, and great suffering is
experienced in portions OF the West.
One village especially, on a branch
railroad, has had no trains since
Christmas. The people are entirely
out Of wood and coal, and another
fearful storm is upon them. There
will be an exodus from the Northwest
in the Spring. How grateful we should
feel that we live in the old North State,
free from billiards and cyclones a
climate altogether more congenial
than the Western article.
