Schools.—It is pleasant to note the increase
in the number of Schjols of high grade through
out the State, and especially in our own neighbor
hood. The readers of the Observer on Monday
last could scarcely fail to note the large number
advertised. In addition to others previously in
serted. there were notices of no less than six in
serted for the first time on that day.
There are now advertised in the Observer “The

Foioially Excommunicated—Judge Doug
las, of Illinois, has been read out of the Demo
cratic party. The W’ashingtoti ITnion performs
the ceremonies of excommunication in an editorial
of Si columns, and all the organs, little and big,
follow the Fnion’s lead. .Judge Douglas’s offcnce
is a difft'rence of opinion with the President. The
Presiilent bestows the ofBces; .Tudge Douglas’s office
bestowals are in prospective only; of course he is
kicked out, and is a very small potato indeed.
The people of the South have become so accus
tomed to hfar the praises of the “Little Giant”
from evorj’ sfump and to read them in every dem
ocratic journal; they have been so often told that
though all our Northern Allies wore true and
great, none were so true and great as the inventor
of that patent safety machine, the Kansas-Ne-
braska Lawj that there may be some curiosity to
know what evil can be said of him whilst the ink
in which his praises were printed is not yet dry.
Says the liichmond South:—
“W'e are no longer allowed to entertain a doubt
of Senator Douirlus’s determination to abandon the
Democracy and enlist in the service of the l^lack
Republican party. In his speech of last W'ednesday
he not only reproached the I’re.sident with the
utterance of radical and essential error in the
Message, but distinctly declared himself a cham

A fierce fight is evidently in prospect. Doug

out of the party, there will be very little of the
party left.
The cause of the quarrel is the construction of
the Kansas-Nebraska Law. Douglas think-; that
the principle upon which that law was founded,
was the right of the people to frame their own
system where it can be amended. But take care jjj t[je undue expansion of the credit sys-

any thing, and to them the Life Insurance ofiice
is their natural resort.
It gives us pieasuro to state, that our late dis
tinguished fellow citizen, Hon. James C. Dobbin,
had several years ago taken a Policy for $6,000
in the “International Life Assurance Society of
London,” which has a General Agency in New
York, and a local Agency in this town, and that
the amount was promptly paid to Hon. J. G.
Shepherd, Guardian of his children, on Tue.sday
last, (the day it was due,) by Messrs. Stark

Cruel Proscription.—Of all the forms as
sumed by the detestable principle of proscription
on account of political opinions, which was fasten
ed upon the country by Gen. Jackson, the most
cruel is that practised by the Republican Commis
sioners of the Central Park in New York. The
city employs many hundred laborers and mechanics
in work upon the great Park about to bo opened
there, and the Commissioners in charge of it have
catechised all applicants for work as to their po
litical opinions, and refused work to all who were
not Republicans. In the present condition of the
poor laboring people of that city, this is outrage
ous. Yet so little is it regarded there—so accus
tomed to such things have the people becom'' —
that the Commissioners boldly and uublushin^ly
admitted the fact. It was also proved that they
sas is a humbug any way. And the South will
be humbugged whether Douglas or the President
triumphs. But the more damage they do each
other, the greater chance of a change in the rulers
of the country.

If the Journal “freely” said so in 185:J it es- > here assigned, we must look bcyoud the action
capcd our attention, and we unintentionally did it 1 the banks to the operations ot other corpora-
■ • • • 1*1 • . :i » \T I tions as well as iudividuals to fathom the entire
injustice in our last, when we intimated that Mr. i . , , ,,,, , ...

.IcRae s appointment mot with no expression of | admit ot a detailed examination of
disapprobation. W’e are under the impression,
however, that the Journal’s recollection is at fault.
1S58, at 836,750,000, viz: from duties on im- i If not too much trouble, the Journal will confer
ports ?33,000,000, from .sales of lands 83,000,000, 1 a fjvor by re-producing the paragraph in which
and from miscellaneous sources 8750,000. This its disapiprobation was so “freely” expressed. If
is less by §15,000,000 than was estimated by the ’ we have erred we desire at once to correct the
Secretary of the Treasury a year ago. And yet ! eri-or.
it seems to us to be still much too large a sum to
suppose can be received under the present scarcity
of money and consequent diminution of imports,
and the reduction of duties made by the tariff
which went into operation on the 1st of July last.
To produce 833,000,000 from duties, he estimates
that it will require 8174,000,000 of imports of
dutiahte goods; besides which of course there will
be imported many millions of free goods. It
seems to us that no such amount can possibly be
needed by the country, full as it already is of
foreign goods which the people are unable to pur
chase. The duties received at New York during
October and November, the first two of the nine
months referred to, certainly do not promise such
large revenues. They amounted to less than
82,000,000.
State Rights Again.—In Secretary Cobb’s
Annual Treasury Report occurs a p&s.sage which
at other times and from any other source would
produce many an exclamation of dissent from the
democratic party, which pretends to be, or for
merly pretended to be, par excellence the State
Rights party. It is nothing less than a recom
mendation to the State governments to require
gold and silver from their citizens in the payment
of all their taxes. The proposition itself is mon
strous, for every man knows how impossible it
would be to carry it into effect, and how incon
venient it would be, if it were possible, to both
tax. payer and tax collector to be lugging bags of
gold and silver over the country. It is compara
tively easy to get specie in the large commercial
cities, where the United States collects its revenue;
but a very difi'erent thing in the back woods of
North Carolina and most of the other States. But
besides this, it is an interference with a matter
over which the general government has no juris
diction, and with which it should not be allowed
to interfere.
The same remark applies with full force to his
were employed at one price and paid less, the
difTercnce evidently going into the pockets of the 1 other recommendation to the States to prohibit
Commissioners. ) bank notes under %20.
But whether we erred or did not err in that
particular, the fact remains undeniable, that
whilst Mr. McRae was canvassing this District as
a Land Distribution man, he was appointed to
hi;h office by the Democratic Administration; he
went abroad an acknowledged Democrat, and he
came back, as his party papers said, “this distin
guished Democrat.” How then is he “an apos
tate?” He has not changed his views. That is
conceded on all hands.
W'hilst on the subject, we may remark that the
Raleigh Standard, in paying its compliments to
Mr. Leak, says a very hard thing of the late Ad
ministration.
“W’e hardly think, says the Standard, Mr.
Leak will encounter the good fortune of being
coaxcd out of the way, as .Mr. McRae was, by a
handsome fedend office. Let him not “lay that
flattering unction to his soul.”
Is it possible, as the Standard alleges, that the
late Administration, (which it was wont to declare
that of a second W’ashington,) interfered in our
local elections so grossly as to buy off a candidate
likely to damage its interests? Can if be possible
that such men as Pierce, Marcy, Dobbin, Davis
and the rest were guilty of an attempt to bribe a
public man, and having bought him with an office,
entrusted him with the interests and honor of our
country abroad? Not so, not so, it ought to be
hoped. And the last quarter from which such a
charge should proceed is one from which no word
of complaint of that or any other act of the Ad
ministration proceeded whilst it was in power.
The Stan'lard’s remark, wc know, was intended
only to damage Mr. .McRae. But it imputes
corruption to the Administration quite as much
as to Mr. McRae. If the Standard’s present ver-
•sion of the matter is correct, why has it been
withheld to this late day? If the alleged : • 5 of
corruption occurred, why did not the Sta ard
expose them? Surely, the Standard, knowing all
this, did not conceal it from the public and con
tinue to laud the Administration and Mr. McRae,
merely because they were in oifice?
this suhjcct, but a solitary illustration will preseut
the subject in its proper light, lu au&wer lo a
circular letter addressed to the various railroad
corporations of the country, the iuformatiou cou-
tained in table No. has been obtained. it ap

The Herald says the merchants should be thaiik-

not believe they will get it anywhere.

The life of the deceased exhibited a rare combina-

lieait. .\s a friend, she was sincere and affectionate;
is ;i wife, devoted and obedient; as a mother, loving
and faithful; as a Christian, earnest and truthful; in-

true. Society has lost an ornament; her friends, a

iier character. Iiy gentleness, patience and resignation.
She was not atraiu to die, but calmly and quietly,
NNliile yet she liad streu;;th, prepared for the change.
No claim of duty or affection was forgotten; and when
:i.l wasdone, full ufcour.ige, thankfulness and faith, with
a heart overflowing with love to God and man, she
gently .juitted tlie e.irth to take h«r place in Heaven.
