Fire Proof Building.
Improvements are the order of tbs day
on Water street just st this period. The
nilding formerly occupied by Messrs
Murray & Co., and whioh was subse
fluently partially destroyed by fire has
nearly been rebuilt and is fast reaching
completion. Yesterday workmen com
menced ths erection of a handsome new
fire proof building near tbe corner
of Water and Chestnut streets on the site
where a large wooden warehouse formerly
stood. We did not ascertain who has
tbe contract to erect the building but
found out it is to be built of green lumber
covered with second band tin and is to
be ten by twelve feet. It will be a big
improvement to the street and will en
hance tbs value of property in the locality
perhaps.

Retrfnchmciit at Raleigh.
Ib. Editub:
There .a evidently great ret4lesgreFs
and dissatisfaction in the public mind
at the slow progress made in the Leg
islature in the oaus? of Retrenchment
and Reform. Upon tbe piomi t
nade two years ago and repeated ia: t
summer as the campaign was going on,
he Democratic party regaiutd and
maintained their ascendency in the
State. Those promises remain nnre
deemed. If the Legislature adjournt
without applying with a just and fear
less baud the promised retrenchment
knife to the rations departments of
State government as well as to county
offices, the party may at one prepare
for defeat at tbe next general election.
The startling report of the joint Re
trenchment Committee of a few days
ago fell like a bomb shell among the
people and more than ever are tax
payers indignant at past looseness and
extraraganoe.as well as aroused for re
form and economy in tbe future.
The committee say that one
hundred thousand dollars can
be saved to the Rtate by a
prompt inauguration of judicious re
form measures in tbo branches of the
State Government, and that too, with
out the least injury to tbo depurt
ments and pubiio institutions of the
Stiite. Why was not this economy
maaguratod two years ago? The Com
mittee are pariiouiarly severe upon
what they call loose management and
waste of the public money ia tbo lu-
yjtaa Asylum, and offt r a bill that in
intended to make a clean sweep and
to take a new start in this State char -ify.
It is pleasing to know that there
ire bold end true meunpou that Com
mittee, who cannot Le seduced from
duty by any temptations or blandish
ments, or hreais at ibe Capitol It
ia indeed gratifj iug to the people oi
the State that the demands for re
form have developed meu in the
Legislature who bavo tbe ability and
(he courage to come to the rescue to
oome to the prtssiug emergencies of
the day and to assail the various de
partmentG at Raleigh, aud when any
thing is found amiss to apply, with a
fearless band tbe much needed rem
idy. Then true North Caroliuius
wib henot forth live in tbe high appro
cia ion and gratitude of the people,
.hile the timid time-eervere and am
oitious hangers-on of iho Demo
cratic party who are too ee rlh to
love the party or tbe State ili be
rewarded with obscurity and forget
1 nines?. The people of every county
are watching tbe course and votes of
their representatives with unusual
interest this ppriug.
No man in the Legislature has work
ed and spoken witn more ability and
shown more pluck on these measures
of retrenchment than that faithful son
of old Bunccmbe, Capt. Mutt. Atkin
son. He is fast making for himself
a state reputation of which
himself, as well as bis county, anould
be proud. Early in the se.e;ou h
waa tbe leader in raising this Commit
tee of Retrenchment and Reform and
as a fearless and efficient member of
it, ha probed the ' nooks and coruer.'
of all the departments aud mbtitutiono,
where money was expended. By the
judicious application of the pruning
knife which he brought to Raieigb ii
is shown ihat$100,000cau be saved and
Hp people relieved to that extent. G
01 Captain,in your uoble career. Tne
p opie bid you God epeed and will sua
strain you wheth r tLe Raleigh influ
ence sustains you or not. Work on
for the oppressed and broken up peo
ple of our dear old 8tate in this our
hour of greatest calamity, and when,
in the future, we oome to make up our
jewels you shall not be forgotten.
