Mr. Gladstone has arranged to hold "a conference with the gentle men who were associated with him in his third ministry on Feb. 8, when the policy of the Liberal party will be exhaustively discussed. Elaborate preparation has been made for the celebration of the marriage to-day of Mr. Henry Ne ville Gladstone, third son of the ex Premier, to Miss Maud Rendel, daughter of Mr, Stewart Rendel, Libera"! member of Parliament for Montgomeryshire. 'No rogue e'er felt the halter draw, with good opinion of the law" and that is the reason why Mr. Mc Kinley, of Ohio, one of the late J. B. Foraker's bosom friends, repents himself of his sins in the past against the requirements of the "Republican party of to day. The British Museum, which has been lighted throughout with elec- t' ic lamps at a cost, with other im provements, of 14,000, is henceforth to be thrown open evenings for the benefit of the w.orking classes, who have hitherto had little opportunity to avail themselves of the advan tages the place affords The German Socialists are flooding the factory towns thoughout Ger many with Socialistic " leaflets ex horting uncompromising opposition to the Government at the coming elections and claiming the rejection ef the Socialist bill by the Reichstag as a victory, which, if followed up at the; polls will compel complete recognition of the rights of the Social Democracy. One of the great evidences of the progress and development of the South which the eleventh census will bring out is the remarkable in crease of banks and banking capital in thi& section. In 1880 there were 220 national banks in the South, with a total capital of $45,597,000. Last year the number of our national banks was-472, and their capital ag gregated $79,454,020, According to the Lexington, Va., correspondent of the Richmond Times Ex-Governor Loe is very much amused at Senator Ingalls discussion of the negro question, the absurd illogical 'standpoint from which he urged the question, the incendiary utterances in his speech aud the conclusions he arrived at. The Governor says Ingalls lacks in formation, that a short residence in the land of oppression, as Ingalls calls the South, would turn Ingalls a negro hater and oppressor worse thaiv anything the most extreme Northern partisan ever dreamed existed in the land of cotton.

To all Consignors an-1 Coiuigiiees of FreiglU: A serious loss and much inconvenience have been caused, botn to shippers and rail road companies, by the unnecessary detention ot cars in loading and unloading freights. Shippers are often unable to , procure care, tracks are encumbered, and the speedy move ment of freight is impossible under the prac tices that have prevailed. The railroad com panies feel obliged, therefore, to endeavor to correct this evil, and have Issued the notice printed below. The system thus established has been In force at a number of Important points during the past year, with advantageous results in every instance. The amonnt charged is not sufficient to recompense the companies for the use of thetr oars, tracks, etc.,-for warehouse purposes, and is not collected for the purpose of revenue, but for the prevention of abuses which affect both the public and the transpor tation Iinc3. The rul63 will be enforced without discrimi nation by the North Carolina Car Service As sociation, which will act for ail interests alike. UNTotioe.
