X «. Y 4 Says the Charlotte Observer of Sun day regarding the "VV. N. R. R: We had a conversation, yesterday at ternoon, with a gentleman who was present at the meeting in Morgauton on Friday, of the stock-holders of ihe Wes torn North Carolina Railroad. This meeting, as we have previously stated, was tor the election of a commissioner for the road 011 the part of the private stock-holders, they being entitled to one commissioner and the State to three.—As was foreshadowed in these, columns yesterday morning, Col. S. McD. Tate, of Morgauton, was elected. The choic* was unanimous.—The Com" mission consists of W. W. Rollins, W. S, t pearson, W. P. Canady and S. McD. Tate. At a meeting of the Commission ou Friday night, VV. W. Rollins was elect ed Chairman. Maj, W. A. Smith, the Receiver of the road, met with the Commissioners rod turned the road over to them and with it, SB,OOO, earn ings of the road from the Ist of May. A committee was appointed to visit Ral. eigh on Monday and have an interview with the penitentiary Board regarding the convict labor to be employed on the road. It is proposed to put the labor ers to work at once. The SB,OOO will be to commence on. The qouvicts will be put to work in the tunnels. One of the grandest triumphs ever achieved by the Democracy was wip ing from the Statute Book the law au thorizing imprisonment of a man for debt. Until a man in debt was treated as a felon, and imprisoned in a common jail till the debt was paid. Richard M. Johnson, the Democratic United States Senator from Kentucky, introduced a bill iu'the Senate to abol ish imprisonment (or debt on judgments taken in the courts of the United States. After years of struggle, impris soument lor such debts was abolished, through the combined action of the Democracy in Congress, despite the earnest opposilion ol their political opponents. Every State followed the example set by Congress, and it is wholly owing to the Democratic party that men in debt arc not now treated like felons. This scrap from history remarks the Cincinnati Enqui.'er, is worthy of consideration. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2. —The crowd gathered at the bank this morning, and every preparation was made to epen it. The President said the bank was pre pared to pay all the claims not other wise provided for. At 10 o'clock the street and sidewalks were jamed, the door swung open amid cheers from the crowd. The flags at mast head on the stand and a salute flrine at the wharf. At half past 10 o'clock gold was flowing both ways. It is believed deposits will equai if not exced payments.. To TIIE PEMETNTIARY. —Teg prison ers from Robeson county, under the charge of the Sheriff, passed through this city yesterday en route lor the pen itentiary. They were all convicted at the last term of Robeson Court, eight of larceny, one of arson and one for ob structing the Carolina Central Railway track, and are uuder sentence from three to ten years each,— Wilmington Journ al. The radicals have it seems at last grown tired and ashamed of their dis graceful couduct, and. have agreed hereafter, to cc nfiue their opposition to all measures before the body,which they may elect to oppose, to debate and le gitimate opposition.

For Iceland or Honolulu this would not be considered any "big thing" in the way of a volcano, but for a low-land State like Florida it will do. The Oxford Leader has consolidated itself with the Torch-Light, and now we may expect tbat luminary to blaze with even greater effulgence than baa been its wont. Success to theeombina. tion. ''A DANGER OF BLOWING OCT KERO, SENE LAMPS. —On Tuesday night about 11 o'clock, as Lnfcy Martin, colored, from Waynesboro, who was on a visit to Taylor Jefferson, her brother-law, here, was about retiring, she turned down a kerosene oil lamp supported on a bracket against the wall. As the blaze was not turned entirely off she blew in the lamp chimney to put it out. The lamp instantly exploded, burning her tace and breast dread fully. Taylor Jeffersou and his wife rau in and threw a blanket over her, smothering the flames,his wile getting her hands badly burnt hi the attempt. Dr. Reese was called in and rendered the nesessary medical autentiou.— Staunton Vindicatior. The Methodfst are erecting in Ba vanah a handsome edifice, at a cost of SIOO,OOO, and asking contributions for it as the Wesleyau Monumental Church. John Wesley was hi Savannah near one hundred and fifty years ago, aud preach ed in Chirst Church twenty months, where he was followed by George Whitfield. Wesley established a Sunday-school there fifty years before Raikes began his work in Liverpool. The Ohio election is to-day. The people of that great slate will pass upon the new currency aud finance issue. 2'heeyesof the country are upon them. The hopes of the democratic party are largely centered there. We look tor news of a glorious victory, though elec tions are uncertain.
