djjhaiham Record THURSDAY, FEU ItUAKY 17, 1SSL H. A. LONDON, Jr., Editor. DILL AUD AND RUFFIN. On last Friday Gov. Jurvis ap- pointed Hon.

"Without doubt Judge Dillard is one of the most con scientious men in North Carolina, and daring his brief teim upon the Supreme Court Bench he has estab lished an i nviable reputation for Ju ridical learning and Judicial impar tiality, but the regret for hi 3 retire ment is lessened by the elevation of eo pure a man, and learned a lawyer as Thomas RufSn, a name illustrious in our Juridical annals. It is rathar a singular coincidence that these two gentlemen should have beGn law partners for many years, both before and after the late war : and it is the first instance of father and son hav ing been Couit. Judges of our Supreme EXCOl RA(iIMi IMMIGRA TION. A most practical and nfcersnry step has been recently taken towards, encouraging immigration to our State. CoL Pope, as General Passenger Agent of numerous railroads, has made an arrangement with our De- j mrtment of Agriculture to trans'tort at low rates all immigrants who ma wish to come to North Carolina, and by this means the tide of immigration that has been pouring into the North west inuv be diverted to this State. We are pleased to learn also that CoL Pope is collcctbg valuable formation about our lauds, minej-nls. cites for factories, timber, &c, to be j published and thus attract the atten ! .... . f ;,,;v,..0 o.i,.,wo ; offered by oar State.

There is room for all, and surely there is need for the usefulness of all these colleges and tho University. The friends of education are sadden ed at thi unwise and eo unjust war fare, which must result only in injury to all concerned. LEGISLATIVE DOTS. It may seem very strange, but it is nevertheless true, that the Legisla ture's chief work (and we thiuk its best work) is preventing the passage of bills. There are always more bills introduced that ought not to pass than there are that ought to pass. Most of the time of the committees is taken up io considering bills that ought to be defeated . Nearly, if not quite, a thousand bills have been in troduced during the present session of our Legislature. Every bill must be examined by a committee, and of com-se this consumes much time. This must excuse what constituents may consider the slow progress made by their legislators. A Legislature may do more injury by hastily passing nu merous bad laws t an can be coun terbalanced by the benefits to be de rivod from the passage of a few good laws. The prohibition question is still to be Bettled. Hundreds of petitions have been presented containing thousands of signatures. It is thought that a bill will pass submitting the question for the decision of the voters of the State.. Senator Merritthas in troduced two or three carefully pre pared bills on this important subject. Mr. Hanner has introduced a bill to incorporate the Danville and Haw Kiver Railroad Company, which is of special interest to the people of this county. .hoaldbeattacintheLbo OUU RALEIGH LETTER.

Editou Recoiid : " The Tobacco In terests of North Carolina " is the title of a neat little book prepared by Col. J. D. Cameron, editor of the Durham Recorder. It treats largely on tho growth, cultivation, cure and handling of tobacco. It does more. It has a higher and a more patriotic aim. North Carolina produces to bacco unequalled in quality even by Virginia, aud yet, owing to the course of trade, she gets no credit for it either as to quality or quantity. This book aims to show to the world what our State really does in this impor tant industry and to vindicate her fame and the magnitude of her re sources. The great bulk of North Carolina tobacco is of high grade bright, yellow, comparatively free from nicotine and gum, odorous and far more agreeable as a smoking tobac co than any other produced elsewhere m the United States, while it is also deservedly esteemed as superior for chewing purposes. The very fine bright tobacco known on the market of the world iw " Virginia Strips," should be called "North Carolina Bright for it 13 raised in what the author terms the central belt of tho State extending, from Warren coun ty westward. The book gives an in teresting sketch of the tobacco grow ing regions of the State and also ot her numerous factories. Oneisamaz- and J fr0Wt? f these fact0es, and at their extensive business.

A telegram from Washington City dated February 12th, says : ; At 8:30 o'clock this evening three spans of the Long Bridge, across the Potomac, were carried away. The ice is still running high. The Shenandoah aud Potomac rivers at Harper's Ferry rose last night and the ice broke up. The rivers continued to rise all day, and the lowt-r part of this city has been flooded to the depth of four or five feet, doing much damage. Snow storms are reported at St. Joseph and St. Louis, Missouri, and thunder storms, and heavy nun, at Paterson, New Jt-rsey, and New Haven, Connecticut." A later telegram, dated 13th, says : "The freshet in the Potomac has sub sided. Several hundred vards of the north end of the long bridge has been carried away. Southern travel is in terrupted. Arrangements have been made to transfer passengers for Rich mond in the morning from Washing ton to Fort Runyon, on the Virginia side, by stages" over the bridge at Georgetown. Passengers for Lynch burg and the South will go via Shep herd's, opposite Alexandria, and thence across the ferry to Alexandria.

Washington, Feb. 12, 1881. This week has not been eventful from a national legislative point of view, but we have had a scene in the Senate, in which Senators Conkliug and Butler acted, and two reenes in the House, in one of which Messrs'. Blackburn and Frye were principals, and in the other Messrs. Cox and Rjagan held the leading roles. I had almost omitted to mention the mon otonous ceremony of counting and declaring the electoral vote. But little business has been trans: c ed; the Senate, the House, and the com mittees of both are behind with their work. If the truth must be tol 1 the National Congress is dissipated. There are too many wild young members from the country, and too many festive old rakes from the city in the House and in the Senate. If it were possible to pet the essence of candor from these gentlemen, they would confess that their main object here in Washington is not to trans act business for 50,000,000 people, but to have a good time ; that they regard the wcrk of committees aud congressional sessions, very much a-s thoughtless boys do the confinement of the school room.

Mr. Halo writes to the Fayetteville Examiner, in a recent letter as fol lows: "A curious incident occurred in Brooklyn last Thursday. Owing to the prevalence of diphtheria, Father Fransioli, of St. Peter's Church, in that city, announced to his congrega tion last Sunday that the ceremony common in Italy of blessing the throat of any one who desires it would be performed on Thursday. The four citrates and the pastor were kept busy from 8 o'clock until 11 performing the ceremony, and it is estimated that 20,000 men, women and children visited the church for thc purpose. The custom is said to have prevailed in Europe for 1500 years." Wbat is home without a babv?

PiTTSBoao, February 14,1831. , During the intensely cold weather through which we have just passed, many statements of extraordinary low temperature were made. And the wide differences of these state ments of temperature in the same village or neighborhood have given rise to milch criticism and ridicule from those who have not studied the laws which govern the subject. These differences of temperature arie Fomotimes from the iin perfec tions of the thermometers. That is, two given thermometers hanging ad jacent to each other will indicate on their scales, under all the varying degrees of temperature to which they are exposed, an invariable difference. The writer thinks these differences in thermometers are very infrequent. This appears to be the only satis factory solution : When the air is in motion, or ia other words when the wind blows, the nir is constantly in termixed and thereby its tempera ture is to a gre.it extent, if not wholly, equ ilized. Therefore it is, that in neighborhoods and villages during cold windy weather there are no striking vaiiations of thermomet ry records. But when there is no wind and the air is moiionlor.s to the senses then the cold air falls on ac count of its greater weight to the ! valleys and lowest points, forcing the j warmer and lighter air ne.ir thf ; earth's surf ice to higher levels. The ; result of this change of position : ! the cold with the warmer air and i of its1 ias-um n? a stratified fo-in may be seen any morning by examining two 'equally graduated thermometers at unequal heights, before the sun hs j momcter to f;iil twenty four degrees i in ten minutes by a decent of about i twentv-hve feet. The variation in the height of the i location of neighbors' thermometers I is no doubt the most general cause lof 1hr HPrm-i1 !.,.rra if t.,,,v.ra. ! i iv'i 'r::,, i niguts thermometera in tne valleys . . . - . ; will show lower temperature than thermometers on the hills that over ; look thrjra.

The Fruit Crop. There being much difference of opinion as to whether the late intense cold has damaged the fruit cr p, the editor of the Greensboro Patriot ask ed the opinion of thc celebrated Hor ticulturalist, J. Van Lindley, who re plied as f ollows : " My opinion is, there is but little damage done to any except peaches. I believe peaches wTill be scarce in this section in 1881.
