MILE i-koeairroas,
24 Coll-e- Placa, New "York.
To the RaleiRh Evening Post-
Col. T. M. Holt carried Alamauce
county in 1878 by nearly 200 major-ity,
lie wus defeated in Onilford by
Mr. Caldwell, independent, whose
popularity among many of the old
residents of the county made bim
quite formidable. Col. Holt would
have defeated a nominee of the Re-publican
Part; if each an one bud
been his competitor. The vote in
1878 was mnch smaller than in 1876,
by several hundred. It is more
than likely if the full democratic
strength of Guilford had been polled
Col. Holt would have carried Guil-ford
county.
When Col. Holt was first a candi-date,
Alamanoe was largely Uepob-lican,
but he was elected by over
230 majority. We say this much
in reply to the Evening Poit which
alluded a day or two ago to the
fact that Col. Holt was defeated for
the Senate in Onilford in 1878.
We do not think tbat amounts to
much upon which to found an ar-gument,
for by the reasoning of the
Poit, its -preference Col. Soales,
woold he disqualified, for the same
reason, inasmuch as Mr. Caldwell
got more votes iu Guilfurd than
Col. Scales, yet the Col. WM elected
by his majority in Alamance. It
was an off year and the full vote
ol Guilford was not polled but we
can venture the prediction, that
whoever the nomiuee is, whether
Mr. Carr, Mr. Kobinson or Mr.
Holt, old Guilford will wheel into
rauks and give him a good major-ity.
Let us work together fur the good
of the country and the success of
democracy and all will be well.
General Scale's Position.
LCLarlotte Observer, May 2S ]
I see it stated in the editorial of
a Raleigh daily, but whether to
strengthen the boom for Jarvis or
Fowle istiie question,tli.tt it was an-nounced
in the convention ol Meck-lenburg
co„ on authority that Gen.
Alfred M Scales was not a candi-date
for Governor. Now, sir, I hold
(hat this sort of warfare is unfair
to Mr. Scales and his friends. More-over
it savors of a ruse to throw
him from the track by a tacit ad-mission
tbat be is the' man above
all others for the place if he n uld
ouly consent to have it. True, he
has not shoved his name before the
people as a candidate, uor iu the
language of a Raleigh doily con-cerning
other " candidates" is he
•'fighting" for it. But in heaven's
name, are the people ouly to nomi
i,.iv such men lor office as parade
their names before tbem as candi-dates!
I happen to know tbat if
nominated for Governor, General
Scales will accept; bo prelers tbat
place; and he is withont doubt the
strongest standard bearer the Dem-ocracy
has. Believe me, sir, this
writer sounded the first bugle note
for Scales for Governor after the
war, and be is for bim still, aud so
are the people at heart.
UNOIT.
Reidsville, N. C, May 21,1880.
[.Remarks by the Observer.)
e • •
" This then can be regarded as
Gen. Scale's position, and surely it
is one which any man can afford to
occupy. It is in keeping with the
man; it has been the rule of his
political lite.
In the event of the failure of eith-er
of the other aspirants to carry
the convention,no man standaa bet-ter
chauce for the nomination thau
Gen. Scales, and none would more
certainly lead the party to victory.
Should he be chosen The Observer
will give him a cordial support. As
a mem bet of Congress be baa re-flected
credit npon himself and his
State, winning the respoct and es-teem
of his associates as be has the
confidence of his own people."
On the 13th of April, the Kditor
of the PATRIOT had an interview
with General Scales upon the im-portant
topics of the day, which
was published iu the PATRIOT
April 14th.
Referung to the editorial columns
of the same issue we find the fol-lowing:
"During onr interview, we re
marked to Gen. Scales tbat we bad
observed with pleasure the steady
progress of the "Scales boom" in
conneciiou with the Gubernatorial
chair and desired to know how he
felt about it.
The General deemed Ujltbink
there was no dcubt of the nWiiiina-tion
of one of the two distinguished
gentlemen whoso names bad been
so long and prominently before the
public, and did not doubt tbat we
could easily carry the State vith
either as the staudard bearer of
the party. It would probably be
the most important eleetion in the
history of the State bet tuse of its
bearing on the result oi 'tie nation-al
contest; but if the party would
prove true to itself and to its nomi-nee,
he did not tear the result.
He laid that ht was not a candi-datefor
Governor, and vat perfectly
contented with his present position.
Notwithstanding the declarations
of our distinguished friend, we find
a disposilion' on the part of a large
portion of the State Press to nrge
the nomination of Gen. Scales for
Governor at the approaching con-vention.
We cannot see bow Gen.
Scales could well refuse the position
if he should be chosen as the stand-ard
bearer of the Democratic party
in North Carolina. It is very cer-tain
tbat be has the confidence of
the people, and be wonld do honor
to the position, for the State has no
truer or more devoted son than
General Scales."
The correspondent of the Char-lotte
Observer is right when be says:
"I happen to know that, if nomin-ated,
Gen. Scales will accept, &c."
General Scales is not a candidate
for the office of Governor. He has
never authorized any person to say
tbat he would decline the nomina-tion
if tendered to bim by the State
Democratic convention at Raleigh
on June 17th. On the contrary
however, if the people of North
Carolina want General Scales to be
theirGovernor and should so express
themselves by tendering him the
nomination on the 17tli day of June
next—He will accept it.
Mr. Best and the Syndioate
[Daily Patriot, May 2-MII.J
The Charlotte Democrat ot to-day
referring to the fact that Mr. Best
has not taken charge ot the West-ern
North Carolina Railroad says :
" We suspect that oneol the main
difficulties now existing among Best
aud his associates is, tbat a "Ring"
in New York and North Carolina
wants to get clear ol Mr. Best aud
not permit him to participate iu the
profits, it any, after he has made all
the sale negotiations. Something
is goiug on that is hard to under-stand,
but for one we are willing to
allow " time for development," aud
hope for the best results."
We have just learned from a
prominent gentleman of this city
who was in Hickory yesterday that
telegrams had passed be-tween
Mr. Best nud the officers of
the road, indicating tbat the mat-ters
between Mr. Best and the oth-er
members of the syndicate have
all been settled, and that Mr. Best
will immediately take possession of
the road.
If the indications are true Mr.
Best will probably arrive in
Asbeville to-morrow.
Tiltlen is cautiously, slowly, but
surely, marching on to Cincinnati,
with banners Dying anil his ot) eye
planted upon victory. The butter
lly which the Graphic depicts him
as following with his empty bar'l
as an agent ot capture, promises to
become his prize. His improving
pros[>ect« bring dismay to those
who thought the old man was dead.
The Republican has contended trom
the start ot the contest that the
struggle will be between Grant anil
us the inevi'able, and it discovers
nothing in either case to lead it to
change its view.— Washington lie-v
ublican.
The sage of Gramercy Park is
not idle, he knows a thing or two,
aud when the time comes to speak,
be will speak. His great ambition
is to defeat the great Ulysses, and
if he gets the nomination this
country has never witnessed a more
brilliant, able and aggressive cam-paign
than tbat which will be
waged by the great Napoleon of
politics Samuel J. Tilden.
S. A. Busbee, a negro, lias re-ceived
the appointment of census
enumerator for Snow Hill, Greene
county, through the influence of
Col. L. W. llamphrey of Goldsboro.
From a correspondence in theGolds-boro
Messenger we learn that the
citizens of Suow Hill are, as they
should be, indignant, and lond aud
bitter in their curses which they
are showering upon Col. Hum-phrey's
bead. Busbee is not only a
negro but a dissipated brute and it
will not be very pleasant to have
him question people—especially
ladies.
—Next to Grant,Blaine will be the
easiest man to beat that the Repub
licans can nominate at Chicago.
His connection with the Credit Mo-odier,
with the Little Rock Railroad
bonds, and nearly all the corrupt
legislation of Congress for fifteen
years, renders him exceedingly vul-nerable
and open to attack. Be-sides,
the intense bitterness of his
struggle against Graut, the violence
of hit, backers in their assaults on
the ex President, will serve to pre
vent a very large number of Grant
men from voting for him under any
circumstances, llei.ee, if we can
not have Grant give us Blaiue by
all manner of means.
— Thanks to Gen. A. M. Scales
for valuable Poblic Documents.

—Who is he ! We have it from an
authentic source that a cerfain edi-tor
now printing a daily paper in

else that favored the sale.

Old St. Davids at Radnor.
What an image of peace and rest
la this little church among its graves I
All is so quiet; the troubled breast,
The wounded spirit, the heart oppressed,
Here may find the repose it craves.
See how the ivy climbs and ezpauds
Over this humble hermitage.
And seems to caress with its little hands
The rough, gray stones, as a child that
stands
Caressing the wrinkled checks of age.
You cross the threshold, and dim and
small
Is the space that serves f6r tho Shep-herd's
told;
The narrow aisle, the bare white wall.
The pews, and the pnlpit quaint and tall,
Whisper and aay, "Ala»! we are old."
Herbert's Chapel at Bemberton
Hardly more spacious is than this,
But poet and Pastor, blent in one,
Clothed with a splendor, as of the sun,
Tbat lowly ami holy edifice.
It is not the wall of stone, without^ -
That makes the bufldMg small or great,
But the soul's light shining ronnd about,
And the faith that oveiconieth doubt,
And the love that stronger is than hate.
Were 1 a pilgrim in search of peace,
Were la Paator of Holy Church,
More than a Bishop's diooese
Should I prize this place of rest and re-lease
From further longing and farther search.
Here wonld I stay, and let the world
With ita distant thunder roar aud roll;
Storms do not rend tLe sail that is furled,
Nor like a dead leaf, tossed aud whirled
In an eddy of wiud, is the anchored
soul.

[Asheboro Courier, May 25th.]
We had been led to regard tbe
nomination of this gentleman a fore-gone
conclusion. So eminently
worthy and fit In every sense and
so universally acceptable to the
people wherever he has held courts
since his appointnicnt.aml so great
is his personal popularity in this
District where his name has been
known aud honored so long,wc had
not for a moment anticipates! any op
position co bis nomination at Dtu-bam.
But the deve'opments of the
friends of Mr.Manning of Chatham
for his nomination. The Pittsboro
Record puts the chances iu favor ol
the distinguished Cliathamife. This
we regard as an houest mistake of
Bi'o. London's pencil under tbe heat
ot enthusiasm that is natural ami
commendable. But we need not
take issue on that point, though we
are satisfied the strength of Mr.
Manning was overestimated by our
esteemed contemporary. We have
naught to say -..gainst Mr. Manning.
fie too is emineutly worthy, honeui
and able, and had it been our vote
to give bim the nomination for Con-gress
iu bis District we would have
dobe so with just pride and pleas-ure.
But with our shortsighted
vision we cannot but regard it as
unfortunate for Mr. Manning,
should his friends decide to with-draw
his name from the Congress-ional
Convention and press his
claims for the Judicial nomination.
Judge Gilmer has claims which the
Convention cannot fail to appre-ciate.
He has held the position
only a few months. To accept it
he was forced to give np a large
and lucrative professional practice.
It would take a long time t< n
deem that practice with ihe rarest
magnetism and ability. Hence the
sacrifice would be too great to im-pose
upon any man and certainly
too great to impose upon one al-ready
physically disabled for active
wotk. Hut not upon that ground
are his claims based. He has the
ability and fitness. For his party
and country no man in this District
has battled more nobly or faithful-ly.
Upon the crimsoned battle-field
his own blood wrote the name
of valor and in the heated political
contests since the war he has ever
been in the front among the bravest
and most eloquent. He is the right
grit—sound aud solid. Added to
all is the unblemished character ot
a Christian gentleman. The Con-vention
cannot name a man we
venture to assert that will be more
acceptable to the people ol this Dis-trict
and the whole State than John
A. Gilmer of Guilford. Randolph
will throw her hat to the sky for
him. ^^_________

WASHINGTON, May 26.—1-1 x Gov-ernor
Joseph E. Blown, of Georgia,
was to day qualified as a United
Stales Senator in place of Gener tl
Gordon. Tbe new Senator's ere
dcntials were presented by General
Gordon, who, iu a verv few winds,
foimally announced to the Senate
that be*bad resigned, and that his
successor had been appointed by
the Governor ol Georgia. When
the credentials were read, the nest
graceful step would have been to
swear in tbe new Senator. But Mr.
Edmunds, who never lails to pick
llaws iu any anil everything that
comes up, called attention to the
fact that while the credential- of
Mr. Brown were dated May 21,
Senator Gordon was still in Ins seal
to-day. He thought that there was
adiserepancy abonl the matti r. and
that under the eiicamstances tbere
either had been no vacancy, and
Mr. Blown should not be sworn in,
or else Senator Gordon has occupied
bis sea' and voted after be bad
ceased to be a Senator. This novel
point created quite a little stir, but
the entire Senate, with the excep
tion of Mr. Edmonds, seemed aorr]
that the technical objection bad
been raised. So, alter brief ex-planations
by Gen. Gordon and
Senator Hill, it was decided that
tbe retiring Senator's course was
tally justified by precedent. The
case ot Mr. Revertly Johnson was
especially alluded to, he having held
his seat arid voted up to the very
hour that his successor was qualifi-ed,
and, indeed, having also divid-ed
his pay for the last day with his
successor.
Senator Browu then took the arm
of Senator Ben. FItil aud walked up
to the Vice President's desk, where
he was sworn in. In appearance he
is not as distinguished looking as
his predecessor. He is tall, rather
slender, and delilierate in manner.
He is slightly bald, with ahigh fore-head,
cleanly shaved>oppe<- lip, and
long white beard that t a pets to a
point. He was dressed iu dark
clothes, and might be mistaken at
any time lor a Methodist minister.
Soon alter be was sworn in he re-corded
his bat vote agaiust Senator
Windom's proposition to add itiOO,-
000 to the pension deficiency bill for
the pay of United State* marshals,
the issue being a strict party one.

America For J18.CO0 there

year nine ministers ; 200 children
were maintained at school, besides
300 more more educated: 400
Christians were attended to, and
10,000 heathen were reached by
the various branches of work. His
experience bad taught him that it
cost less to make a Christian in
Africa than it docs in America,
though he disliked to put the
subject on this mercenary basis.
