ALVflNI SPEECHES. i . We hav received a pamphlet of 56 pages containing the numerous addresses delivered on January 26th, 1881, : at Raleigh, on the occasion o the annual meeting of the Alumni Association ' of j the University of North Carolina. The speeohes were no doubt fine, but we have; not read them all. . They will number some dozen or more. j Every other North Carolinian is ready, for a speech on any occasion, yv e wealth, of orators. are a Common The venerable and benevolent town-pump is not more responsive tp: the jerk of the handle when manipulated by a thirsty soul than is the citizen of North Car olina responsive to the urgency of solicitation to "orate," or to a surprise invitation to "say something." He can emulate the fellow in Hudibras, if not in tropes, at least in flowing words and sonorous periods and re sounding eloquence.! I The chief speeches on the occasion referred to above were noticed in the Stab soon after their delivery. Presi dent Battle's address is an interesting account of.the University. It is very much the same he delivered in this city. The University is making friends steadily. It is doing a very important work now for North Caro lina, as it has been doing since the century began. The University will learn after awhile to know; who are us friends and to appreciate them. It ought to be endowed liberally. The rich men who profess to be its devoted friends should prove their friendship by 1. heir works. Some of the gentlemen whose speeches are reported are a Die abundantly to give $3,000 or $10,000 to the University. We should lice to see the Swaine Fund, and thd Caldwell Fund, and the; Phillips Fund, and so on, founded at once. Who will be, the first to move in the matter? The speech Gehee, head of Mr. Hontford Mc- of the Agricultural Bureau, like all that comes from his scholarly pen or cultivated brain, was in fine taste and of real excellence. There were other noticeable speeches, bat we cannot particularize. We would have followed the - bad custom of adding a prefix to Commissioner McGehee's name, just because he is a State official, but we know he is too manly and governed by too severe taste to be tickled by any such con temptible straw. We might have called him "Honorable" for another reason; he has been in the i Legisla ture and owns a big farm. Mr. Mc- Gehee needs no plaster to strengthen his back-bone or give influence to his name. His pure character, his su perior abilities, his admirable culture are worth ten thousand vapid titles. WILSON AI90 GOLU8BOBO, A recent visit J to Wilson gave ns an opportunity of marking the very great improvement of that beautiful and very flourishing ! town. It has improved, we think, fully three hun d red per cent in! ten years. New and elegant residences are to be seen in many directions. Its chief stores and hotel are of brick, very great im provements on jj the- 'old one-story wooden buildings. . The whole town of nearly 3,000 people (for there is a 'considerable portion not in the cor porate limits although a part of the town really) is lined in all its streets with elm trees of healthy and vigor ous growth. We confess a ride through sundry streets of the town was a succession of j surprises. We do not remember to have ever seen in the South any place of no more inhabitants that is so attractive to the eye of the stranger. It lies charmingly, arid the walks are excel lent. We learn from those who know that the population is exceed ingly good. There is much of re finement, culture, wealth and hospi tality among them, j .; j We spent a couple of days in the flourishing town (we beg pardon, "city," for so it is , incorporated) of Goldsboro, and we observed great improvements on the few streets we passed through. It. is a growing, thriving places and it is a pleasure to note ihe progress and thrift of, two North Carolina towns on the'Hne of the great coast rail way. We were under special obligations for. courtesies to the brethren of the ,4j,m Ak.fePAh.U., places. . ; We may mention that one firm at Wilson will handle 25,000 Jbales of cotton this year Wilson commands a great deal of. trade and families a I large area ot most leuue country. BB1BEBV. Bribery and corruption are the or der of the day in the. North., The time has been when these two power-; f ul agencies have been felt seriously in the South and even in North Caro lina. We must hope that they will uot become factors in the future: New York methods and Pennsylva nia methods in politics are not good things to introduce into . North Carol ina politics. The developments as. to bribery in the New York Legisla ture will surprise but few. All who are familiar in the least with ' the history of Northern politics know that in spite of all pretence t6 the con trary that intimidation and bribery, are the most potent instrumentalities relied on in many portions the North and in every Northern; State. They carry elections . and carry mea-; sures in the Legislatures by the means ; of a corruption fund cooperating with legal enactments that debar hundreds and thousands from voting. I The other day Col. Frederick Conkling, a brother of the distin guished Roscoe, made a charge that the Committee of Ways and Means in the United States House of Repre sentatives had been bribed. Since then he is out with some specifica tions touching his allegations. It is to the effect that certain sugar mer chants in New York had paid $100, 000 to a member of the said Com mittee to stop legislation on the tariff. Now, who is that member ? it is said that Zeb. Vance was waited on by a committee, not long since, and asked to address a prohibi tion meeting. He declined, and asked the committee to say to the conven tion that "his heart was with them, but his stomach was against them, and! that his stomach was the big gest." A UEPCBLIGAN DISCOVERY. , The Republican papers are now engaged in the instructive effort to prove that Roscoe Conkling is not a great party leader. They even say he is not a statesman. One year ago,' or ' less, the Republican party was in great distress because Conk ling would not help Garfield. When he put his shoulder to the Radical wheel after the treaty at Mentor, jf such there was, -, then . they., said all was right and New York was safe. How is this ? One man held in his hands' the destinies of his party, and that too the party which for twenty years had dominated the country. How was it he held this tremendous power ? When before did an ordi nary politician ever so obtain the vantage ground as to dictate his own terms? Could a man not en dowed with very extraordinary qual ities as a leader thus shove himself to the front and become the hope and confidence of a party, j Of course it was because fie was master of New York that he held the reins. But how did he get the supremacy in-a State of five million souls? Schnrz, is his paper, the New York livening Postt says Conkling is a failure and is not a successful party leader. Well, he may not be, and yet Schurz, nor Sherman, nor Evarts, nor any of the Fraudulent Cabinet was ever able to become a great power in his State and diotate his own terms. But what is Conkling up to? - Did he miscalculate when he resigned, or did he purpose not being a candidate gain ? We have never doubted that he purposed being returned at once to the Senate, if he, could, and that he was deceived by some of his Stalwart followers. Now, however, it is somewhat changed.' He is'aim ing evidently to get the matter be fore the people and have a fight throughout the State. There . are many signs that his power is gone to a very great extent, and that he will be j routed by the Administration forces. But he will make a strong fight, no doubt. There, are whisper ings that he is aiming to start a new party, but we doubt it. The new party will come when the time is ripe fully and not until then ',' Conkling will not take another leap in the dark soon, -we apprehend. ,: .., An Unrivalled Hair Deaslnc.

WHO INVENTED THB &OqomO The Eoglish celebrated (the centen nial birth-day of the great n Eng lish , inveutor, George Stephenson, on the 9th of June.. ; We ad been led to suppose that Stephenson was the "inventor" of the . locomo tive, but not so, according to as able a paper as the New, York Times. Whilst the Scotch" engineer, James Watt, had filed long before a patent for the application of steam to land locomotion, his plan was impracti cable, because he limited bis motor, to but one side arid. only then to procure a vacuum by condensing the iteanL But the true inventor, if the Times in good authority, waa Oliver Evans, of Philadelphia.' Hii ibVention sprang from a "boyisir' VrTct His", brother took an bid gun barrel arid filling it with water he stopped both ends. He then put it in a blacksmith's forge. The'astomshing result led him to his discovery. As soon as he heard of a low-pressure coriderising engine he associated that and the gun barrel arid thence followed, his invention. We copy froth the Times:' - i i; - - "If he had done ' nothing more; he had then conceived ot a high pressure engine. But, happily..
