ltll (a copy of which In- 1ms kindly
Kent us) that we hope will puss, li
pwvkKN that in nil (use of coiiti sted
rlectioiiH the coiit Jtitiiiit shall not he
allowed ny compensation to dif;nv
the expenses of his contest, unless tin
Houho declares by resolution Unit
there wan reasonable, ground for the
rontest. and in that fane the ;ontwt
aut shttl! only he allowed his necessary
ixpeii8. which shall he itemized mul
duly sworn to and which in i.o case
shall exceed the sum of two limit 'and
dollars. If ihis hill is i as.td and t!.c
litw is enforced it will save many
thou.sani.lH of dollars to the iiatiot.a!
treasury. It has bccoi'ie too common
a custom for defeated candidates for
Congress to contest their succe.ssf.d
competitors' seals simply for the pur
pose of niiikiri;; money, as I ' uigresn has
usually ullutvcd all contestants a sum
about ctpial to a member's salary to
pay their expense.. liuL'ed these
Mberal allowances to coiitestanls
seemed b I n bids for all iltuuted
CUi filiates to make contosis.
Another reprehensible prnclii'o of
Congress has been to delay action in
eattfcs of contested lection until just
befor adiiiurnuieiit. It lias often
happeneil' that .'. uceessful contestant
ebtains his seat only a week or two
ftefote his term expires, and nil the
while his seat has been wrongfully
withheld by another person. This is
.oiiictimes done by way of compro
mise, 'uch tii.tn itlie contestant and
tfie sitting member) being allowed to
draw full pay, but it is a compromise
at the public expense ami altogetlu i-wron.
Sroc.KsTioNs to the Legislature, as

ileiisihle are those lt i-ently .nade by

The Star suggest.-'. First, that the
law in rt-rni'd to filling vaeiincit's oti
the Ujai',1 of Magistrates "f the sev
eraf c"ii;-.t:es be ciianged so as to
allow the iloard to fill the vn.-uiicie.s
Slid not, the clerk of the cunt, as at
present. Second, that the law be so
ciianged as to forbid anyone from
being on more than two ollicial bond
At the same time, and third, that
County Co iniissioiii in shall he for
bidden to accept as sureties oti o'li.

h this S.'iiie a it v c ivs
ago, which is the first time that any
son or daughter of any Fiiropean
potentate ever visited North Carolina.
This Princess is the wife of the Mar
quis of Lome, (who is (tovernor (Iru
eral of Canada and with her husband
and a small party travelled through
this Stat o by way of Wei Ion and
"Wilmington tu Charleston, where they
embaiked on a Ihitish vesi.el and
Muled for Derniuda. The passage of
so distinguished a party through our
Statu attracted but little attention,
though it is said our neighbors in
Greensboro' were terribly disappoint
ed because the Princess did not visit
that aspiring town, where hor w elci ime
ivould hit i been even warmer than
that recently extended to the uIuK
of New Castle."
Fri.soMB n.A'r rrnv is always tlis
giwtingnnd uomi'timcs absurdly ridic
itliniB. Thin ocenrrrd to us when
lending the speeches made by pome
of our legislators at the recent re
flection of Senator Hansom, one mem
ber in the eloquence, of his zenl stating
(hat Itansom "has reflected every
virtue that could adorn humanity"!
tt there atij nian now living of whom
this could be truthfully said .' We
greatly admire Senator KiiLsom, ami
heart dy favored hits re-eltclion, hut
as a friend of his we must piotesl
agairst such fulsome llalfeiT.
i Nkw Yohk city furniuUes the most
extreme cases of wealth and poverty. '
' Certainly no city tit Anient u contains
so much poverty, mi; ery itnd wretch
edness, aiitf we doid't if any city in
the world contains man of greater
wealth. This has hi all suggested, to
our mind by a sta.t)iurut lcceiitly
made in the "New York Sportsir.ui:."
' which says that on ":w tiftt rti..if. a
, f"w days ago, twenty S'" thou-sind
sleighs weld ihiic.ia I'.nlial I "at ';.
Thtso t-higlu. with the homes, if
pliced one behind tho other, wouhl
etend over a distance of fifty seven
. miles. Calculating each vehicle to
.contain two persons, many of them
being family turnouts, would give
."0,000 people out for an airing. This
will give ninny of our rural rendois
an idea of what a large number of
persons tluie are in one city who do
ti.'tl.ii.g but seek pb a-Mi.' c a isti-dx r
greater than twice the mtmlvr of in
habitants in the eountv of Chat!. am .'
At 'i WKN-rsof a most appalling rat ore
have recently occurred, by which
hundreds of persons have met n sud
den and painful death. Those acci
dents are more numerous than we
have ever before heard of in so shoif
a space of time. Jctst week we pub
lished the burning alive of three hun
dred persons at n circus in Ku.ssia
und of soTenty-live persons in a hotel
at Milwaukee, in Wisei nsin. and lid.
Week we publish accounts i f a powder
explosion, by which nearly fifty men
were hurled to death, of n laihoad
iveiiletil thai Killed more than twenty.
Mid of a steiini'r sinking and drown

In addition to these wet" many other
accidents, by each of which some ila f
