some one else.
We look u JK u the Senate as really
the palladium of our liberties. We
caunot seo-how ajleptiblican form
if government can be successfully
conductel with but one legislative
house. Examples to this effect are
numerous and one need not go far
to fiiid them. liut for the present
Senate the infamous Jodge Force
bill, with its bayonets at the polls
and Its arbitrary domiciliary visit?,
would ere this have been' signed by
the President and would now be a
law. In the. Senate alone lies the
h&pe of the jonntry to defeat this
bill. It is the only barrier that now
stauds between the rights and liber
ties of the people of the South, be
tween their social, financial and ma
terial prosperity on the one hand
and anarchy, distress and bloodshed
on the other. It may fail us, it is
true, and if It does, then all hope is
gone. But it did not fail us years
agq when the attempt was made to
enact another force bill. It was the
Senate then that saved us from an
evil no less threatening in its aspects
than is that which now hangs sus
pended over our heads.
The U. S. Senate is, or ought to
be, a grave,. dignified and delibera
tive body, able to hold in check the
mad fanaticism and reckless extiav
agance of; the lower house. It is the
balance wheel of onr political insti
tutions." That It does not always
corne up. to our expectations is not
the fault of the Senate itself, as a
deliberative house, but of its mem
hers. It is not so much a forum for
the delivery of pretty, pertinent and
eloquent speeches as it is for calm
and deliberate consideration of pub
lic questions. There Is . neither a
Clay, nor a Webster, nor a Calhoun
In It to-day, Jt i true, but there are
men there equally as wise if not as
eloquent Morgan, of Alabama:Qray,'
of Delaware; Voorhees, of Indiana;
Carjisle, of Kentucky; George, of
Mississippi; Vest, of Missouri; Mc
pherson, of New Jersey, and
our own Ransom and Vance are
perhaps in no ways the inf?riors in
statecraft of any of their long line of
illustrious predecessors. Neither
Calhoun; Clay or Webster had ever
to fight against such great odds and
to contend with such opposition as
hat fallen to the lot of those upon
whom. their robes have fallen in
these latter days, and when the his
tory of. these troublous times is re
corded in future ages the palm of
true, patriotic statesmanship will
not alone be accorded to the giants
of the ante-bellum days.
But the 8enate is safe and we
think it will stand, unless, 'indeed,
such abuses shall creep therein as
will cause a popular demand for a
change. And even then there must
necessarily be two legislative houses.

The Officers Liked It.
The Goldsboro Dispatch says: The
officers who visited the encampment
this year seem to'think it was more
successful from a military point of
view than it has been inast years.
The men learned more and worked
harder, and there was not" so much
rowdy ish "fun." But the fellows
who went for the fun of it seem to
find fanltand "don't want any more
in theirs." Lieutenant J. R. Griffin,
of the Goldsboro Rifles, an enthus-
instic military man. expresses him-

The jlfew Federal JJuildiqff.
Through the courtesy of the Sup
erintendent, Mr. W. H. Chadbpurn,
we were shown to day through the
new public building. There is more
room in tlie interior than one would
imagine from the appearance of ihe
building from the 6utside, although
there is really not enough .as ;it is,
There are three floors above tlie
basement! The first floor is-de voted
entirely to the user of the Postpflice
department. The lobby, it strikes
us, is rather small but the postal
people have ample facilities, for the
present, for the transaction .of their
business, although we believe that
more room will be needed in aj few
years. The second floor is devoted
entirely tojtho Federal courts. The
court room itself is an elegant room,
amply large for all ordinary jises,
and the balance of the floprjs divid
ed up into offices for the use of the
officers of the court. The third
floor is for the use of the U. S Engi
iuecr officer1, and the Signal Observer,
Mr. Chaffee, is already established
there, in neat and cosy quarters
convenient!. to liisinstruiuents on the
roof of the building. Above all is the
tower, reached by a winding stair
case, enclosed in sheet iron, remind
ing one forcibly of the turret of a
monitor. From the turret at the
top of this tower a magnificent
view of the Western part of the
city, the river and the country be
yond is obtained- The Nayassa
Guano Works are in ..nil vie a ,
houses and farms beyond the Bruns
wick river may be plainly distin
guished and there isa fioc viewof thp
river beyond the dram tree. In the
turret a large clock is to bejplaced.
It will have three dials, OvorthjEast
and West, put none ou the South as

C. R. R. has been temporarily sus
pended for th want of 'iron. Two
cargoes are on the. way here now
and one of these was looked for to
day. As soon as it can be handled
the work vrill be .pushed fo;rward as
rapidly as possible. As stated by us
yesterday the trackTis now laid for
about 24 lirfles-from; tha cityt .(The
expectation now is to get into Jack
sonville in about sixty days, say by
the first of October, and shortly
thereafter it is probable that "work
will be begun on the extension to
Newbern.
Trains are run every day on this
road between the city and 81oop
Point and thus far the traffic in both
passengers ami freight " has been
gratifying. The two traina spoken
of by us yesterday will probably be
put on next .week or at the, latest
early in;the following week. A new
aud powerful engine and two pas
senger cars have been ordered and
these are expected here next week.
As sooii as they arrive a regular
schedule will be announced. -,i i"
