SENATOR YANCE's LETTEs<

We are glad to be able to print
this week through the courtesy OF
Mr.. ButterwOrtb, the recent cores
pondence between him and Senator
Vance.
There has been some mlsunder-
standing. it seems, as to Senator
Vance's attitude towards the Sub
Treasury bill when it was first
handed to him for its introduction
into the Senate.
THE DEMOCRAT prints Senator
Vance's own words over his own
name. and this settles the matter.
Whoever can now call Senator
Vance a demagogue concerning this
matter as has been said to the
editor of this paper, does it IN the
face Of Vance own full explanation.
To call INN a demagogue now is to
treat what he says with no degree
of credlbillty.
But we repeat what we have
said every time we have given ut
terance on the subject-that Vance
can better afford to retire from the
Senate than the people of North
Carolina can afford to lose him from
that hOnOred position.

DIR. GRIsSOM'S SPLEEN.

DR.. Grissom's latest gyratlon IS q
gross misrepresentation Of NorthCar-
olina, reported in an interview be-
tween him and the Denver, Col, Re.
publican. He charges North Caro-
lima with more than any one ac~
ouainted with his connections with
the State could suppose him capable
of. He says that it is practically a
state Of commercial stagnation, and
that the cause is due to political
preiadice that exists here. lie says
that it is a Republican state if the
party had it's dues: and that while
the climate of the state is variable it
is very unhealthy place for repuo-
licans. These and many other false
charges be makes against the good
old state that gave him birth and
showed him so many fayors until be
reached his three score years.
The attack is only one of the ten
thousand casea of disappointment,
which prey upon the unfortunate sub
iect until they sour the disposition
and distorts the Judgment and rend-
er the whole man incapable Of any
fair considerations even Of his own
native home.
lie has not hurt any one bat him
self, as the State Of North Carolina
is a little bit older than DR.. Gris>
SOM. and it's dimensions are sufficient
to outmeasure him and all like hin.

WHY PRICES Oh WHEAT
AND CGTT0N HAVE
ADVANCED.
New Berne Journal

New Berne Journal.)
-Four months ago silver was drug
in the market, it was selling at 500.
per ounce. The Government could
in the past six years haYe bought one
hundred and fifty millions Of ounces
of it at soc. but neither the Govern
ment nor any one else would buy it =,
and one hundred and fifty millions
of it has been sent to London and
there sold IN the exchange for about
SOC. per ounce and bought by parties
who sent it to India to buy cotton
and wheat diametrically in opposi-
ton to the interest of the cotton
planters Of the South and the wheat
growers Of the West.
For a short time past silver has
been advancing Oh account Of the
new Silver bill, which went into
operation August 18th, and now the
Government and every one else in
the Northern cities is clamoring in
their efforts to buy silver at $l.125
per ounce, that being the price paid
for it by the Government. The ad-
vance in silver has caused an adj
vance Of 1!c. per pound on cotton
and SOC. per hushel on wheat.
Doubtless IN q short time fur
ther advance IN silver will take
place, and as soou as it reaches $3.50
per ounce 1t will be on a parity with
gold.

100 MILES AN HOUR.
4 new style of railroad has lust
been successfully tested near this
city which it is thought may uItim-
ately revolutlonize the present sys>
tenn of passenger transportation. 1t
is called TIE Bicycle system, and a
party Of newspaper men were whirl-
ed along over the one mile track in
the space of 33 seconds. A single
bicycle passenger car was used,
which WAS double-decker with
seven compartments on each deck.
Each compartment IS By itself and
is entered from the side of the car.
The car is less than half the stand
ard guage in width, so that two cars
can pass each other when they are
run on opposite rails. The wheels
of the car ere directly under the
center, double fange grasping the
rail. The car is prevented from top
ping over by double wheels attach
ed to the top of the csr and running
one on each side of a continuous
wooden beam held up by the frame
work on either side of the track, The
engine employed is a bicycle one
also, and the whole train is run on
the principle Of hoop in motion,
which is less like to wobble or fall
over as the speed is increased, The
inventor, Mr.. Boynton, claims that
& speed can be attained of 100 miles
an hour.
TIE NEW TREASURY NOTES.
Three million dollars worth of the
new Treasury notes was received at
the Sub-Treasury in this city last
week, bat as the shipment consisted
entirely of one hundred, and one
thousand dollar bills, the general
public has not had much oppoEtu-
nifty TO pass upon their merits, The
notes are said to be palmer looking
than those now in circulation, but
the work upon them is finely done.
The $1,000. note is adorned with 8
WeIl-eXecuted portrait ofGen. Meade,
and the 500. note with 3 similar
likeness Of Admiral Farragut. The
back of the notes Is printed in green
and has the denomination plainly
set forth IN large figures across tue
entire length. Further description
is unnecessary, as all will he able to

WILL THERE Be COALITION:

" Ill liiLilG IL OShGt WV
The R0au0be NeWS gave some
very wholesome advice last week,
and urged that there be no kicking.
We commend the considerable to
all democrats; and commend a fur
Their consideration that the party
give no room for kicking. That IS
to say, let us have no coalition, but
a straight out uncOmpTomislng
Democratic ticket in the county.
and then there can be no kicking.
Scotland Neck DEMOCRAT,
There have been many rumors
about coalition ticket, which some
seem to think the Farmers Alliance
will attempt to secure. That there
Is such an attempt has been denied
through these columns by a member
Of the Alliance who should be in a
position to know. So far as we are
concerned that denial is sufficient.
Others can continue to believe it if
they choose.
We reprint the above from the
DEMOCRAT for the purpose of asking
it who is going to kick and what
ale they going to kick for? If the
Democratic convention adopts a
course Of action which does not
meet the approval of some members
ofthe Democratic party, why should
those members kick?
X 4
Now, when a Democratic conyen-
ton adopts a certain line of action
it is the duty of every Democrat to
fall into line and work for it wheth-
er 1T meets his individual approval
or not,--Roano{e NeacS.
The DEMOCRAT does not wish to
enter into any controversy with our
neighbor, or with any one else, as
10 that matter, And we would be
last to do or say anything in any
way detrimental to the principles
OF the democratic party; for We
believe III its principles and in the
triumphs of its principles depends
the political salvation of our coun-
try. We merely referred briefly to
the subject of coalition IN a recent
issue, as We quote above, because
we had heard pretty general rumor
that there was such proposition
somewhere, to be made at some
time and place, but it seemed that
no one knew when or by whom.
We charged nothing to any one.
If, however, any one had it in
mind to propose coalition, it seems
to us that it would have been fair
to have aired the thing a little
before the primaries were held in
the different townships, so that
every man would have had a chance
to know what he might expect from
the delegates he chose to represent
him,
We expressed our disapproval
OF coalition several weeks ago, but
i'll no spirit of antagOnizing the
actions OF the democratic party.
We agree, that whatever is done
In a full democratic convention and
on democratic principles, ought to
be acQulesced in by every true
democrat, and we believe it will be
done.
We are glad to learn that there
is no credence to be given to the
rum0r regarding coalition. We
have not been in position to know
anything about it only what rumor
said, and it was our duty, we con-
celNed 1t, as true democratic
Journalist to call attention to what
was likely to transpire to the detri-
ment OF our party. II the rumor
comes again, We hope some one Gin
a position to know" will explain 1t
away every time.

NJ J DEAR DIR -
Being an unCOmprO-
missing democrat and great
admirer of you, | take the liberty
of asking you few questions, and
| hope you may have time to answer
them.
The Progressive Farmer III q
recent editorial says that when Col.
Polk and DR.. Macune requested you
to introduce into the Senate the
bilI known as the Sub-TreaSury
bill, you told them you would not
give the bill your support in its
original shape. The Progressive
Farmer says furthermore that you
were requested by Col. Polk and
DR.. Macune to take the bill and
make it a constitutional measure,
and that you did take the bill and
make changes in it. l would be
glad to know whether or not the
Progressive Farmer has quoted you
correctly. | infer from your letter
to President Carr that you simply
introduced the bill by request of
those gentlemen, telling them at
the time the bill was introduced
that you would not pledge the bill
your support. Am l right!
l will say here that am an ALI
ance-man and believe in the prin>
ciples of the older, but I am afraid
we are dabbling too much in poll
tics for the good of the order.
In my opinion, we owe our ale
glance first to the Democratic party.
| shall not let my Alliance or any
other order interfere with my dem.
ocratic principles.
Very respectfully,

My DEAR SIR
can take time to
answer your letter only very briefly.
When MIR. Polk and DR.. hIacune
requested me- to introduce their bill
| told them | could not promise to
support it. l did not say anything
about its shape. When | examined
it 1 found that the first provision
providing for the election of agents
for the Treasury Department who
were to have charge of the ware
houses, was right slap in the face
of the Constitution, which provides
that the President, heads ofDepart-
ments, or the Courts, shall appoint
all officers of the government. l
changed that so as to make it con.
form to the Constitution. I also
changed the name of "Sub-TreaS-
ury" to "Bonded Agricultural
Warehouses" These are all the
changes I made. l made no other
promises in connection with the bill
except that I would do all l could
to obtain a hearing for it and to
bring 1t before the public. This l
did. | introduced the bill marked
by request, which is understood
here to mean that the introducer is
not committed to it.
The attempt to make people
believe that l was not candid in my
action and that | was at first tor
the bill and afterwards turned
against it, is simply an outrage
upon the truth.
[ am much obliged to you for
your letter and the friendship which
it manifests. l hope to talk all
these matters over with the people
as soon as I can possibly leave here.
Just now | can not get away as My
public duties require my constant
presence i'll the Senate Chamber.
Very truly yours,

MY DEAR SIR

Captain Healy ExOnerated.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The report Of the
special committee appointed by Secretary
Window to investigate the charges OF
cruelty and intoxication made against Cap
tain Haley, commander of the revenue
steamer Bear, was received at the treasury
department today and referred to Captain
Shepard, chief of the revenue marine divi-
sion, for review.
The committee finds the conduct of Cap
tain Healy in Furnishing three seamen from
the bark Estella justitiable under the cir
cumStances.
In regard to ''tricing up'' several of the
crew OF the bark Wanderer, the committee
reports that the evidence showed the men
were muJinous; that the vessel was in an
exposed condition, and that all reasonable
efforts were used to persuade the men to
resume their duties, and they refused to
do so.
The committee finds the charge of
drunkenness wholly unsustained, and says :
THE testimony shows that Captain Healy
has been particularly intelligent, Jealous
and efficient officer in the discharge of the
difficult and perilous duties in the Arctic
seas; that he was humane and kind to his
men and to the shipwrecked sailors and
unfortunates whom he has relieved and
who in many instances were thrown upon
his personal bounty"
