Governor Johnson, who was born in
North Carolinians have all felt a deep
interest, is closing up four year sue
cessful term as Governor of the State.
He has been an eminently, practical
Governor and has carried out a num-
Der of important reforms that will be
of lasting benefit. When he came into
office there was a floating debt of
100000 which has been paid. He
inaugurated a system of auditing and
checking the accounts of all the Of

able to his election were defeated by
majorities of less than &c. A change
of 900 votes well placed in counties
where the vote was close would have
given him the Senatorshlp. He made
a wonderful race when it is consid-
cred that he was asking the State to
retire Mr.. Morgan, whose twenty-four
years service in the Senate has
brought renown to this good common
wealth. The people have become so
accustomed to think of being repre-
scented by Mr.. Morgan in the Senate
that they would feel lost if he had
been defeated. What they will do
when he passes away, cannot be fore
told. Upon every public issue, eX-
cept one, Senator Morgan is in thor
ough accord with the people of Ala
bama, or rather they are in accord
with him, for he has taught them
politics for more than quarter of a
century. He is too much an expan-
sionist to suit most of his constituents
but when an attempt was made to
