The office is an important one in Mr Crain's district, and the duties are of an arduous and delicate nature. The negro appointed is said to be a deserter from the army and an irresponsible person. 1 he appointment is due not this time to Democratic recommendation, but to the Re publican officer in charge of the district. The complaint here is that the administration is too much open to this sort of influence. It i tune for Democrats to feel "great ly outraged."

That a measure fraught with such important conse quences to the people should be delayed is bad enough, but for it to be smothered in committee would be unpardonable. The Democratic party of the South desires the passage of the bill and its wishes should be heeded, if Democratic Congressmen from this section fail to do their duty in the matter they must expect to take (he consequences of such lack of party fealty. Raleiqh Observer. But suppose the opponents of the Blair bill threaten back, and say that if the I Democratic Congressmen from their sec-1 tion fail to do their dutv bv voting aeainst the iniquitous measure thev may expect to be defeated next time in some way or manner. When the Observer Bays that "the Democratic party of the South desires the passage of the Bill," it should make many thousand exceptions, including about twenty-six Democratic papers in North Carolina, edited by as good and true men and Democrats as ever lived. I You can see how threats can be died on both sides: Suppose the twenty six Democratic papers m this State that oppose the bad Bill were to declare that I they would not support a member of l Congress for re-election or a candidate for I Governor who voted for the Blair Bill, don't vou see how the Democratic party would be divided and its opponents triumph ? The papers that oppose the Blair bill did not begin making threats, but they can take part in that sort of work if iorced upon them. We allude to the matter now not for the mere purpose of holding the Raleigh Observer responsible for a declaration, but because several other Blair papers have intimated the same threat, and we want to give them all a little friendly warning nr Mr Oberly. the new Civil Service Com missioner. seems to be a man after our own heart, that is to say a Democrat from the ground up.

" We copy the following from the Wadesboro Times, in regard to the wholesale manner of voting pensions by Congress to even the cousins, and aunts, and ancles, and all the relatives of the Union soldiers. We endorse the solitary vote of lion. R. T. Bennett against bach sauanderin? schemes. Here is what the g Times properly says : The Pension ADDroDriation Bill that stirred up so much sectional debate inaugurated by the Republicans, has passed the House by a vote of 239 to 1. Who do the people think was that one man who dared to vote the real sentiment of nearly every Southern constituency ? Put it as you will, our people, who pay one-third of the tax that goes to pension these Union soldiers, and who in return receive not a dollar, cannot be expected to favor such a bill, and their wishes were voiced in that vote. Many of these pen sions are fraudulent, and members know it. The bitter tirade of Henderson of Iowa, who , a.,,u,. wniami they all voted against an increase from f 8 to $12 per month,) read from the desk, was cause enough if there were no other reason. Judge Bennett represents as free a constituency as any in Iowa or Massachusetts, and when he casta the - mi i iir nnuica 1 1 n 1 1 lug i hiii kucx u m v. . u 1 u u vote that reflects their sentiments, he does so as a Representative on the floor of Congress a peer under the Constitution of any member, whence ever he may come.
