His remarks b fore the Committee on Internal Improvements, yesterday, iu behalf of the Raleigii and Augusta Air Line Extension, was the much-talked-of topic oq the streets last Dight. A representative of the News was dis-s patched to his hospitable residence on Hdlaboro avenue to intenogate him. Our man was pleasantly recl ined, and found the genial host talkative and amiable. About that Extension business, Ma jor; what does it accomplish? It opens up a new country, whereby produce and travel can have a new outlet. It will operate as a feeder to the Raleigh & Uaston Railroad, there by increasing the lucilit es of the counties through which' the road is to run. 'I he Raleigh At Gaston Road built the Augusta Air Line to Hamlet, a distance of U3 miles, with its own money, supposing that when the road reached Hamlet buitable connections cou'd be effected with the Carolina Central, ly whifh the people from the Western p-rt of the titate could reach the Capitol, and by which both roads would derive material advantage. After the connection was made, a tem porary arrangement was t if- cted which seemed to work very well for both roads, but alter the death of Mr. Grainger th f nner Receiver of the Carol ua Ceniral. a new assignee hav ing been iippointed, all ut once, with out notice, the Rah igii !t Augusta Air Line was i utoH'iivm all conn etion or particiH ion i:i the freights and trave. of that load, except uinit r serious and crippling ui;id antages. In this con dition have ati iiis remained for some time, and finding no outl t. In mined in on ail sides, so f protection and self-preservatH-n Miggeteil a n- w and more diriit line by which the l. c--ues of the road con I le inciense t. Well, M:jor. to come tithf jioint, what is li . logo's interest in tnis light? "Very great '' was the prompt and em pha' ic response. Ruleigu has sen sibly felt the iner -ase ol tra 'e since the building d the Ivaiciprh it Augusta Air Line, a hire increase in the produca and in.val .-lor trade has been one of the gratifying results. A numer of wholesale and retad buyers have been added to our already growing list of cus'oinres. In lact the best wholesale trade Raleigh t njoys vonns from that souice, and if the exteiisio i is granted it will open up a new tier of. counties that cannot fail i add to her commer cial imp rtance The volume of freight will men ase. 1 iiroiigh and local travel will much improve aud over one and a hall milli ii dollars will be distributed among the people along the line of the road Ilo'd on. Mij r, I'm satisfied if that's .-o y-u can put me down an extension man. The M j )v sm lisd blindly and proceed, d. Y8,si:-. had I the power I would grant a charter to run a railroad tuiouh eveiy ci u ity iu in ti e State, pro id. d the people want-d it and wi u'd t ay f r it. "Free trade a -d fcailoi's righ's" is gn d Demooiatic doctnuo still. The moie railr ads, the greafer the com pi tito:i and thertforo greater the benli s to the people. You ak what is the Stato's intreat in the matter. The interest of the Stae is identical with that of her citizenc. Her people are au nricultu al people, aud the moie facilities they can employ to market their prodae tbe greater will be tbe production. Farms will be im proved, ami productions euhauced, thus ding i tie S'ate increased rev enues. Th3 lateness of the hour cut short this lu'eresting talk, but the reporter felt a 1L' hiz-d Ma iu his ear when he left, and he feels the buzzing seusa iou st.h. Thk Theatric. The Fwedish Lady Quartette appear at Tucker Hall next Thursday eveniug, G.h instant. The tr-jupe receive high encouiums from the pies, as bein artists of merit. Their voices are Of sweet ai.d cultivated. They sicg without in s rumental acompanimeut. The las dies are Mise I ga Ekstrom, Ine borg Li'fgien, R. Cedergien and Ber tha Erixon. '1 heir singn g is charac terized by perfect time, tuue and the most exquisite gradation of tone. Their q iaint cative music is dehciously novel a. id dain y. The class of music sung by this unequah d quarlete is unusually v .riei. and thus app 'a's to every taste. The cultured and uncultivated alike enjoy their singing. No other concert company gives th) same universal sat isfaction to everybody. The thorough training theso artists have received at tLe Royal Cou.-.ervatory of Music, Stockholm Sweden, enables them to present music in a maimer, that cannot he described.

H' B 343, in relation to the terms of Superior court, was referred to the Committee ou R dings of tho Judges. A rtsolutiou in regard to the num ber of assistants, pages, etc., of the House, was reported by the committee and was adopted. EMPLOYMENT OF STATE COUNSEL. H B 322, repealing chapter 160, pub lic laws of 1873'74( which authorizes the employment by the Governor of counsel in certain cases, was taken up. under a suspension of the rules, and provoked a debate both lengthy and heated, in which tbe words "retrench ment and reform" were used 671 times. The bill was taken up on motiou of Mi Atkinson, who stated that over $4000 had been expeuded by Gov. Vance for legal fees, under the act. He thought it was an opportunity for retrench ment which should not be missed, and des'red prompt action. This view was taken by Messrs Carroll and Amis, iu brief speeches. Mr Bost said that but a portion of the money so expended was for expenses incurred duriug Gov. Vance's administration, but prior to that time. He wished to know if such employment of counsel was not to be allowed, what would be dona in cases of conflict of authority, for instance, between thi State and Federal author itiea, cases in which the State would need the support of the best legal minds. Mr Foard thought the action in passing the bill might be penny wise and pound foolish. The gentleman's array of figures, so brought forward, might seem to cast a sort of slur upon the executive, but he has been exoner ated, and no man will dare, can dare, to term him as one who has departed rom the strictest dictates of law, honor and policy. The employment of coun sel is often most necessary, and by drpriving the State of this, suits which may deeply affect the well-being of the people may be lost. He thought the House was proceeding too hastily in the premises and advised that they make haste bl .wly. To this end he moved a postponement of the entire quastion uutil toitnorrow, and the bill to be be made the special order for noon. Mr Atkinson said that he was in favor of conducting the prosecutions of Swepson and Littlefield aud other rogues, but tiie Attorney General, a lawyer eminent in ability, could and should conduct these, Mr Armstrong thought the mitter needed considera tion, and favored postponement. Messrs Turner, Normeut and Barringer de sired present action. This Mr Bernard opposed, saying the aid of counsel, and the best in the country,was often need ed. Th ro were cases in which the talent of the Attorney General could not be ojp- 3id to the pressure of a dozen leal opponents. Mr Ellison said his mission was to retrench, and opposed any delay. Mr. Career offered an amendment providing that the Governor shall em ploy counsel in suits in other States, when deemed necessary, and also in case in this St t , when the Attorney General cannot attend. If the Legis lature desires to aid in the prosecution of offcndeis it should permit the Gov ernor to assist the Attorney-General by employing counsel. He desired iu all cases a vigorous prosecution, and as tbe opponents wtre sure to have a great array of talent, force must be met with force. Tae Attoruey-breueral cannot cope with suclt a weight of couusel. It is m.-t economy to take away this power from the Governor. The time of the Attorney-General is taken up here, and this amendment permits the State to be represented iu courts out side her bordeis. Mr. Clarke spoke of the amount ex pended, stating that much had beeu spent in fighting tbe suits against the fertilizer companies to secure the lic ense tax of $500, iu which the State had beeu victor, gaining some $15,0iJ0. Some was used iu suits arising from conflicts of authority. Ho thought a postponement desirable. Mr. Richard son, of Columbus, favored postpone ment, as the matter needed thought. Counsel were often necessaiy. The motiou to postpone was theu put to a vote and lost, by a vote of ayes 2, aud nays S3. The amendment of Mr, Carter, of Buncombe, was also lost. Mr. Foard offered an ameudmmt that the bill should not apply to suits now pending, or to offences heretofore committed. He said that if the House c 'uld see the developements of the "King" committee, they would think there was a necessity for the employ ment of counsel. The attorney of the State in Florida reports the prosecu tioua there are coming to a, head, and that the State will doubtless recover large amounts. Iu suits here the other side show an imposing array of legal talent. Shall the State oppose to this only oue man, able as he is to defend hei? Mr. Jones desired to be informed how cases can be couducted by the Attorney-General, while one-third of him is at the Supreme Court, another iu Franklin, prosecuting Suvepson, and the third up west engaged in laiU road suits. To this Mr. Atkinson said oouusel had already been retained and paid for the suit iu Franklin. Mr. Jones then ii qu red what would be done in questions coming up, involving, per haps, the sovereignty of the Sute, to bo tried at a time when the Supreme Court was in session and the Attorney General forced to be there. This mat ter involves not only pounds and pence, but property and life. The bill must be amended. Mr. Atkinson then offered an ameud m?i t that no money shall be paid out of tbe treasury for couusel. Mr. Jones, coniinuiug, said the matter was crude and undigested, and moved a reference of the entire question to the Committee on Finance. Mr. Clarke offered to so amend the title of the bill as to make it read "Bill to al'ow Swepj.oa, Litih fijld aud other rogues to escape justice." Mr. Colwell sent in an amendment that in cases whe e the Governor and his council of State deem it advisable two counsel may be employed, not to be pai I mora than $10 J for each term of court, besides traveling expenses. Mr. Berry - offered an amendment limning the sum to be so expended by the Governor to $ 1,000 per annum. Tue motion to refer to the Finance Committee was then put io i vote, when it prevailed, by a vote of 49 to 4". THE WHIPPING POST. The hour for the special order having arnvad, II. B. 89, to so alter the con stitution in regard to crimes and punish ments as to include whipping, but that no lemale bhnll be so punishe '. A miuoiity report of the Judiciary Com mutes was read, opposing the change, on the ground of its barbarity, and as it would deprive the State of so great a portion of the c nvict labor now so im perat vely needed a works of public improvement. Mr. B'aidell moved the iudtfioite postponement of the matter. Up u this the ayes and uays were called, when it was postponed by a vote of ayes 48 aud nay 4o , Sundiy bills were tent over by the SdLate, and referred to the proper com mittees. U 'der a suspension of the rules a bill to amend the charter of Davidson Col lege passed. Also H. B. 4o, amending the charter of the Louisburg and Nashville braueh of the W. & V.

Court adjourned until 10 o'clock to Hon. K. P. Battle's Lecture A large, and deeply interested audience assembled at Commons Hall last even ing, tq hear the lecture upon the value of tho Uaiversity to farmers. He spoke of the necessity of the agricul turists bf the country receiving an edu tion. He spoke of the knowledge Eu ropean jfarmers have of cultivation of the so.l.upon the most scientific prin ciples, j Only by tbe geueral and thor ough dissemination of knowledge could so vast a multitude live on so limited an area. There is a great aud increasing demand for practical know ledge of chemistry, bor.auy, geology, physiology, aud kiudred sciences. There are hundreds of men who have lost foi tunes by not knowing the na ture of their soil, while the book leai ne i farmer has steppad in aad won the gjldeu priza. He forcibly put to the membois of Legislature, who were nearly .ll present, the demands of their State upou her people, to give her educated sons to cultivate her and show to the American people her re sources. He instituted the influence of the educated States over those not so blessed. The email States, with learned farmers and artisans, take the lead of North Caroliua aud other com mon wealths of much larger area and poj ulatipn, which fall far behind in the great race of progress, because t he peo ple are not up to the times iu scientific knowledge. It is the duty of the people to gather all the facts that re search dt velopes and me these to push t'.e State on her way. He explained the workings of the Nounal School, with the greatf -good it had done aud tho interest it bad awakened in educational matters. This iuterost is jnoroasiug, aa is evinced by the. hundreds of leLters received t rom those who have enjoyed the ben efits of the school, as well as those who hope to participate. Mr. Battle was repeatedly aud loudly applauded. Cliauge of I'irui aiue. The Merchant Tailoring business that has been conducted under the name of C.
