Inspection will be/ certain, but of this
we have great doubt. The trouble is
that Democrats permit their differences
to affect their votes, while Republicans
differing as widely and bitterly, on side
issues, will.vote, for the party when the
pinch comes. This difference between
the average Democh»ts and Republicans
in noticiable here with us, and perhaps
everywhere. The Republican is much
more loyal to his party thun is the Detu*

The business the extra session of
Congress - waa called to transact, has not
yat been oompleted. The arjiy appro
priation bill has become a law, and in
such shape as to very much oertaii the
poweta of the President; in its use to
interfere with elections. Whilo the
Democrats have not succeeded in re peal
the objectional laws, by which troops
ight be used at elections, yet they
have, so to speak, robbed it of much of
its force. This appropriation was pass
ed after two vetoes. The bill appropri
ating the necessary money for the judi
-■ rial, esaeutife and legislative depart
ments had attached to it a clause repeal
ing the jurort test oath, in Federal
Courts, snd also the law authorizing
Federal Supervisors of . elections, and
spots! deputy marshals for the pretens
ded purpose of keeping the peace at eleo
tions. This was vetoed. The appropri
alien for the executive and legislative
departments was then passed, and aps
proved by the presidanlj and % bill was
also providing for the judicial expenses
and to this was added clauaea repealing
the jurors test oath, and providing the
manner of drawing jurors in the Feder
al courts, and. also a clause virtually
forbidding the appointment of special
deputy marshals, and supervisors oi
elections. Thjs was also vetoed.
now divided this bill and
made two bilk of it, one to provide Tor
the judicial expenses, except the pay of
marshal*, aud to this is attached the leg
islation in regard fe Federal jurors,
which has passed, and it. is said the
President will approve ityand the jother
* yrovx&a the spinas the marshals
and thoir genera* deputies, but,* not ooiy
to provide.for the pay of speoial
deputies, but fo^.% t (|he, iosuraag-.0l

TOE SEI'REJIE COURT. THE YARBORO HOUSE
Tlie appeals from tlis judicial district
were take* up 1a the Supreme Court last
Monday, and will be called in their order
during the week, or until they all have
been disposed of. Having business bes
lore the court, in order to be hi time we
left home last Saturday. (That we avoid
cdr traveling on Sunday, will weiiope be
noted to our credit.) Upon the train
we found several members of the bar,
also gwihig down. The dust was almost
stifiidg. It permeated every nook, corner
aud crack; it rested upon and rove«ed
everything. It was inhaled, until the
jiostrfls, moflfh and throat were dry and
~felr thattttey needed dnsting. The dyes'
were full and grew red. It was warm,
and when tho windows of the coach were
clo«ud iu a vain endeavor to keep out U*
ilust, fcufl"c»lioi.
more agree as to which was worst, than
can Congress and the President on an
sppropijatto* bill. Whether some means
of ventMstioe might not be iferentdfl,
which would admit the air, and exclude
the dnst was di«cussel, and while there
was no definite conclusion readied, it
was unquestionably Jbe opinion of. those
present, that ait effort in that direction
should be made. "Towards the lutter part
ol the irip the conductor was sppekled
to, to hue w how many mora miiiutjM of
buffering had 4o be endnrod, and as tb*
time grew to only a few urinates there
was s sign of life and clieerfttrtiess In sx*
ticlpatlon of open air not thickened with
dost, There was another reasou too..
Wo were all goiag to
THE YARBOKOI'GP House
as dees pretty much everybody who' vis*
its Raleigh. WeM, at halt past T ASIVO,
we landed at tins fame as hotel, and there
stood as natural as life, and we believe *
Httle larger, Dr. Blacbnall, its famous
proprietor, lie spoke ootdially to us, to
some lie gave judicial, end to thi others
military titles, noticed there was
no plain Mr. iu the crowd. We condemn,
in cominou with other people, this prac
tice of bestowing titles, but, in common
with other people, we don't get mad, that
is we don't cut up abont It, when they
are bestowed upon its. The Dr, knows
this, in fact be kuows most the arts cal
culated to please individually, and he
wisely reasons that if ho pleases every
individual guest that slops at his house*
be will in Uine bave established the kind
est possible relations with pretty much
everybody. We hadn't more than drawu
our face out Of the imlle that Involuntarily
oaiue upon it, when we were greeted
as Col., before we were in the hands of
one of theattentive waiters the Dr. pro
vides for his Gouersls, and his Judges,
and his Colonels, and carried off to a
pleasant room to be gotten oat cf the
dust heap in which we fety ourself to be.
Well, pretty soon, with the aid of fresh
water, towels, the waiter and his elothes
broom, we telt brushed np, and rid or
the dust. We then went down to din»
ner, and we had a sure enough good din*
ner. It was a liule late for us, and;
were In oonsequenee a little more than
usually hungry, and, to nse an old ex
pression to convey a truth, which is rare
ly done, we did justice to that dinner.
We understand that such dinners are
common at this hotel. 1 The State Gov
ernment boards here, that is the execu
tive department, and when yon stop here
you know you are liyleg like a Governor.
In order that die Yarborbufth House din
ners may not be spoiled by hurry, the
trains goiugescb way on the North Car
olina Uailroad stop for dinner the very
liberal period of throe hours and a quar
ter.

GAiriittß And noiv,
1 During Ihe debates iu the House last i
Friday there was a pass between
GaUeld and Hnrd. We give the tetegrupic |
account, wfdoh is, of course, condensed, i
but seems to be intelligibly given. It is
aa follows.
Mr. Garfield grouped together some of
thcleadiiigpoiutamadednritig tbesession
on tlie Democratic aide* particularly by
Mr. MeLaue,of Maryland, and Air. Carlis
le* of Kentucky. These propositions were
that there are no national election of
members of Congress that Senators and
lieprcaen I stives are Slate officers, agents
or ambassadors; that tlie United States
have no authority to keep- the peace
within a Slate and have 110 peace to
keep; that the United Slates is uot a na
tion but a confederacy ot States and finally
that States are sovereign. He declared
that tlieir propositions constituted a
body ot doctrine more extreme tban had
ever been beard oefore except at the
very rise ot secession. He believed that
doctrine to be erroneous and vicious, and ,
proceeded to lay dowu and support by
argument counter-propositions.
At the conclusion of Mr. Garfield's
speech, Mr. Hurd, of Oldo, took the
floor and replied on behalf ol the Demo
crats. He recapitalated the pointa for
which the Democratic party haa been
contending. He reviewed the debate
of the past three months, and declared
tuat the arguments of the Democratic
side had not been lairly met.»it had
been said that the Democratic party had
backed bet it was not true. When they
began the fight they did not expect to
win in a day. Iu the forty-filth Congress
they had said the army, their army,
should not be used as a oomitatue. Iu
the torty-sixth Congress they had said it
shonld not be used as a police force, and
before the forty-sixth Congress adjonruod
they should have takon from the atatate
book every law that proposed to nse this
creature of theirs at tlie polls to intimi
date American citizens in the exercise of
their rights. (Applause.) There had
been, he said, no surrender of the great
principle that Congress can withold
supplies aa a means ot redressing
grievances, and so long as the Demo
cratic party was iu the mejority in the
House it never would be surrendered.
The present extra session, he said, had
made up Ihe isane between the tw9
parties. The Democrats had declared
that the army should be kept Irem the
polls; tliat tlie teat oath should be
repealed, and that the Federal authority
abound not intervene iu the elections iu
me States. Upon theae points, the
Republicans took the issue, and if with
this issue the Republican party shonld be
snccossful, it would mean Ihe eud ot the
Republic and the uplifting ot an Empire.
Could thore be any . dpubt of a contro
versy like thtojbnd Bboald clvir liberty
perish ,©u Us own.threshold, at ll own
fireside? The past and ioitnre protested
against it; the hopea end fears of the
wqrjg protested against it; and what is
,p| more value, the Democratic party
with its majority of half a million of
Aiuericau people protested against R.-
Ajbplaaj»e.)
Mr. Rengan then replied to Mr. Gar
field's argument on S'aie sovereignty,
ai|d the debate was continued t»v Messrs.
Cox, CongoV M cMah on and Haw ley.
The committee then arose aud reported
the bill and it was passed—yeas,Bß, nays
69. Only ope Greenbacker voted, (Mr.
Stevenson, of Illinois,) aud his vole was
iu the affirmative.
Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, as a question
of privilege, ottered a joint resolution lor
the final'adjournment of Congrosa on
June 30th at Ip. m„ A vole was takeu
and resulted yeaa 98, nays 73, being a
strict parttf votp, except that Jft. Ackleii*
of Louisiana, ami all the Grceubackera,
voted to lbe negative.
Adjourned until lo*morrow,
The Wilmlogtou /Mar tells the atory
well. We condense. Some ybuftff men
went to Wrigbtavilie sound in a rock as
way, aud tqok with them a negio hoy to
drive. They left the vebiele, the driver
in It holding the horse. Driver got very
drunk in reckaway (don't aay where he
got the liquor) and went to sleep. Ans
other negro boy tied bunch of fire crack
ers to dogs tail and eet fire to them. Dog
ran near the horse; horse ran away,
vtruck a tree and amashed the rockaway
all toaplinters. In great rear the young ,
men followed the cowraeef the runaway
horse, and came to the scene of the dis
aster aud the ruins of vehicle. Under
neath and in the midst repoaed what they
supposed to be the Hfeiess term ol the
driver. With grief tbev hauled him from
the debris, when it was diecovered that
bo was hot dead, but ouly alept. He bad {
not aroused during all the excitement,
and runaway. That negro boy was tha l
only uuhaiined thing about the roeka- ~
way.

jonrninent the long procession repaired
to the asylum grove. The tines o|>eued
and tlie orator of day, Judge Merrimon
and the Grand Master, judge Cox, pnss
ed into the chapel which was soon pack*
ed with visiting and resident Maooua
and citizens. Mr. A. if. H. Williams
introduced Judge Merrimon, who S|>oke
for halt an lioor. Our informant says it
was the best speech he ever heard, and
thia opinion is the opinion of the vast
crowd. It was plain, sensible, true and
eloquent. Grand Master Cox then made
an address, and after some splendid
singing by the little orphans the audi
ence sat down to an open air dinner un>
tier the bjaffljiful oaks that shade the
asylum ground*. The hospi a !ty »f the
Granville Mtople is too well known for
us to prsisS, )t. Tlie quiet old town
was radiant in its good humor ap host
and the guesta enjoyed a magnificent
dinner and felt at home.
At half past 3 o'clook quite a number
of gentlemen, an ongst them Mr. Ryan
left for Raleigh. The exercisers hid not
closed, but with common consent St
John's Day at Oxford was voted good
for the orphans, good for the Masons,
good for tlie State, good for humanity
and benevolence.— Tlie Observer.
THE MURDER OF MRS. NUUU— At last
the author ct the atrocious uiurder ol
Mrs. llnll, HI her b«d iu the heart ot the
city of New York has been feretted out.
Ho is a mulatto named ChastitiA Cox,
who lived near by and had btxfti oecas
sioually employed by the dead woman.
He fled to Boston and there pawnied some
of tlie stolen lewelry. This led to his de
teotioiMMid capture'. He thereupon con.
leased ihe 'crime, and sava that he had no
idea of killing the woman, hia purpose
being robbery, aud that he tied hjer, and
pat the sheet in her mouth to prevent her
giving the alarm. He did not know that
she was dead until he heard it the next
day. He appears to talk quite freely of
the matter.
JOHN A. WILSON, died in Charlotte one
♦ '
week ago yesterday. For years be bas
Id different capacities been oonnected
with the North Carolina Railroad, and
was the agent of Its lessee at Charlotte
when he died. We knew him well. He
was gentle, kind, generous and noble.
He was for years at Company Shops, and
was well known to many of onr people,
and not one who knew him will tail to
feel a sincere sorrow at his death. We
never kuew a man more universally liked
and we never kuew one who more de
served to be.
