Our Raleigh correspondent had h' ears and eyes open when Repres entative K.Spencer Blackburn, pass ed through Raleigh a few days ago en-route "down east," to explode at a sohool closing in one of the east ern counties. He writes: The pol iticians of both parties are interest ed in the meeting of the Republican sta'.e committee in Greensboro next Saturday, avoiding to the ball of chairman Ro.lins, after he had been spurred up by Blackburn. There seems to have been a system atic attempt made to 6tampede the 'auk and ti'e of the Republicans of that state w t'l the story that Black bum's acquittal at his recent trial means that he is to be exalted over the heads of all the organization (whatever "oaganixation" means in this connection) Republicans by a popular uprising in the state con vention when it meets; that Rollins and the others are to be dethroned and kicked out and a political halo is to encircle the 0 7-8 cranium E. Spencer, who shall be ni de state chairman and say and every thing else that he thinks would suit his 6tyle of beauty. Today it is rumored that Rollins may voluntarily retire from the chairmanship next Saturday, with out waiting for the convention to select a new committee, and that this progrim has been arranged to anticipate the plans of the Black burnities who are after bis scalp; that some strong man satisfactory to the "organization" folks and not particularly objectionable to the in surgents will be chosen by the ptes ent committee tc succeed Rollins sad that it will be the purpose of the follows already at the federal pie-counter to to try and get a coin mit (.'' at the state convention that .vill continue the iew chairman in th it position. But the brigixle that his not yet had even it smack from the panoi,a.'e dispenser is mighty hungry and enssiu louder and w ith an increasing number of blue stieaks every time a third tenner is settled for another four years. Unless the new chairman makes loom in the cases of the few third temers who have not yet been re-appointed there will be plenty of scalping knives after him in the convention. MR. TEAGUE CASHIER.

The lloNpltal for the limane Should he Broadened Many liHiignMli lu Connty Jalla wllhont Medi cal Treatment Careful Selection of lir(l latum XeceHHarv. The recent death of Mrs. - Fannie Holland, a respectable and well con nected white insane woman, in the county jail of John.'tn county (where she - was confined because there was uo room in the asylums for the insane,) and the sentencing during the past week at Cabarrus court of a twelve year old white girl to the state penitentiary for five years for killing a man who had de signs on her virtue (there being no reformatory in this state) have serv ed as additional pressing and heart rending arguments to accentuate the need of more room in on i asylums and the buildiug of a reformatory for youthful criminals, the con tinued lack of which has for years been a disgrace to the state of North Carolina and to every man w ho has served in the General Assembly of late years and has not exercised "him self in the efforts that have been made by others to provide these need ed things. Ic is to be hoped that in selecting candidates for the legislature this summer the good people of all the counties will not lose sight of this matter and will choose men who are sound on the proposition to appro priate the f u mis necessary to care for the many insane wardis of the state in the hospitals for the insane who are now languishing in the common jails or poorhouses of the counties without medical treatment or care of any .sort, and to provide an institution wheie more children found guilty of an iufraciiou of the statutory laws may be sent and given a ehanc.J to leform aud be taught to lead upright lives, instead of being sentenced to serve terms in the penitentiary as the associates of har dened cri i.iuals to be damned for all time. It is certainly high time the law-makers upon whom these matters devolve we e giving them th'i favorable attention th?y deina'id and deserve. MRS. MILLICENT BULLA DEAD.
