they were conveyed To hotels, private

DOUGHTON FOR SPEAKER.

r. A. Doughton, Esq, of Allegheny, as a
candidate for Speaker of the next House
of Representatives | do not know that
Mr.. DoughtOn is or will be a candidate,
but thelo will be no member of that hon
orable body more worthy than he. He
was nominated and elected a member of
the Legislature without opposition, and did
a good work for the Democratic party in
the last campaign that could not have been
done by any other. He harmoniZed the
discordant elements and infused life into
the lifeless and controlled and used these
for the Democratic party. Notwithstand-
ing the Doodle and free liquor of the OPP
posing party there never was a stronger
Democratic vote given IN the county for
every candidate, from the President down.
Mr.. Doughton did this by his stirring
speeches and incessant labors.
The Eighth Congressional District gives
a Democratic majority of 1000 TO 1000,
yet there is not a State officer taken from
the district Why? Is it not loyal2 Its
ballots answer he question. Let our pub
lie bodies recognize our talented and strong
public leaders and the party will grow
stronger. A more merited honor could
not be given than for the next Legislature
to give the Speakership to K. A. Doughton.
He is not tied to pet schemes by rash
and foolish pledges, neither is he in
league with any clique or corporation; he
is of the people and from the people, and
has no ambition above making good rep
resesentatiye and lifting his voice and
casting his vote III the interest of the State
at large
Sectional legislation ne will oppose, if
that sectional legislation will in ure the
State Us a whole. State pride and love Of
country VIII govern him in his legislative
acts.
His record while in the last legislature
Is his voucher for the next. His mind,
soul and body are his own, and he WILL
DARE TO Do WHAT IS RIGHT.
His knowledge of parliamentary usages
eminently qualities him for this important
position.
We hope the next Legislature will honor
him with the Speakership, and if it does
THESE mountain counties will feel that it
is an honor we'll bestowed.

Especial Cor. STAT; CHRONllI-E.l
There are several good rlen in the field

speaker at the University when ne grad

work while there. he had been farmer

ling Democrat, and for three year he has
devoted his time, talent and earnings 10
the cause of Democracy IL the last cam
paign his labor and influence was not cir
cumscribed to the limits Of ONE county
nor OF one Congressional district, but his
voice, his individual effort, and that of

capable and deserving, and it would be q

LEAZAR FOR Err.
From Lexington Dispatch.

From present indications, it seems that

Iredell, for the Speakership of the House.
Usually there are number of aspi,ants;
but this time, it seems to be pretty gener-
ally conceded that Mr.. Leazar is to be
Speaker. Certainly no one elected to the
next Legislature is more worthy to wear
the honor than he.

Mr.. Milton G. Shearer, of Johns River,
was in our Office last week, and told US
that there is quite a furry in mining cir
cles in Watauga. Some time ago Gen.
Leventhorpe discovered indications of sill
yer on the farm of Mr.. Joseph Bryant,
near Vale Crucis, and took an option on
it for $4,000. AS the deed has passed
from Mr.. Bryant to Gen, Leventhorpe -
or is about to be passed-it is generally
supposed that the General has disposed of
the property 20 some mining company for
a considerable advance.

The Congress centenary today, necessarily

one of the most important Of the many i'm
portant centennials of the period. The organ
ization of the machinery of great government
is secondary only to the formation and adop-
ton Of the fundamental chart on which the
organism rests for support. When the First
Congress met the experiment of general gov
eminent which could operate directly upon the
citizen, and not through the mediation of a
state legislature, was untried One hundred
years of trial have shown the practical wisdom
of those trainers of the Constitution who
yielded their own and their immediate peo-
pies prejudices for the common good of the
nation With Washington in the executive
Office, and jefferson and Hamilton in cabinet,
and Madison and Muhlenburg and others in
Congress, and Jay and Ellsworth and Iredell in
