THIS PAPER AdrcrMslng lXucen 00 Sprnw St. v wli»«o a. mt i-i m wutnwU nutf be rui It IN >l. *> wutw* The Republicans will have a mijority in the next Seoate. tt seems somewhat doubtful that the (j; V. ft Y. V. 1?. 11. bill Will pass the ' S&smte. The Cincinnati Times-Stir thinks the Inter-State Commerce bill will benefit the South whatever may be its effect on other parts of the country Tho Washington Post says: -'Nature bfesendowed N'oith Carolina sumptu ' oUsly, and all that is necessary to the • D . .• .w viaiv w iui tut: "■ people to buckle dowu to it and iuereaae their number of hard day's work. And ' that wo believe tliay aro doing more earnestly and industriously than ever * before." WALLER CHIMES SAID TO BE 1 DIMINISHING. Judge Connor is of the opinion that the number of spial'er crimes is dimin ishing in tho State. Solicitor Allen aay? it is the caso in the sixth district, which comprehend- tho counties of New Ikitjover, I cnoir, Duplin, Sampson, Pender, Carteret, Jones, and Onslow. Statistics of crime are wanting by which to institute a comparison betweeu the increase or dceieasc cf crime during the last ten or twenty years, and as the Wilmington Siar remarks, "Without thc.ic it will bo impossible to make a satiifactory comparison and arrivo at sure sonclusions". While it k caster to dogmatize or guess than to know to what cause this change is to be attribu ted, observant persons know tlia* it is easier to convict parhos accused o( pettylarcwiy and affrays, than it i.i to meet the demands of justice against ' those accused of higher offences, and this fact may be acting as a warning leswn against tho commission of smaller 1 enraeA, and account for tlieir Yiumbor diminishing in tho State, if such be ihc actual case. THE TIMES. All over our country resounds the ary of hard times, and the scarcity of > money outside the money centres not withstanding the surplus of two-hundred and fifty-five million dollars in solid gold, and great masses of silver coin in the U. 8. Treasury, a greater amount than any other nation can show. While soino believe that the lepe.ll of the Internal Revenue would bring returning prosperity to the country as by a streki of magic, there are others who attribute tho lamentable condition utidor wliicl trade aud agriculture arc suffering tc the lack of efficient statesmanship on the part of Congress, and the adminis tration. Hut jnst such business de pression visited our country tint less than twice before there was any ln:. r nal Revenue. Our country experienced > it in the crisis of 1857, aud earlier in 1837. We need look no farther for the cause of the existing state of things than to overproduction. Legislation can offer little aid towards removing the eanse of this catastrophe. It is t: c natural result of tho laws of production and domand. A similar depression exists abroad to such an alarming degree that the Queen of England issued a commission in 1685 to inquire into tlif lamentable depression which trade and agriciiituro in Great liritain litre been suffering for many years. This com ■ mission have just presented a valuable report ia which Much important evidence is collected. We feel assured that tunc will work out its cure iu this matter. The Henderson Got J Leaf aptly re marks : "Though we may not be ablo to deteccny material change in our immodiate locality, tho country ii gradually growing in prosperity. Iron and steel industries in general aro re markably active and strong Prices have advanced in one year $3 to $ t a ton on pig iron and $3 on rails. Forty new blast furnace* and twelve rolling mills of largo capacity are projested *ll of which poiuta to the good times ahead ef as." STATE LEGISLATURE. Raleigh Jan. 22.—Not much business of general importance transacted. Jan. 21—Star-fun the contestant from 1 Wilson, was declared to have no cause. The principal feature of t¥e day in the House was the consideration of the Stock I aw. A bill came up to take from the lotfn- ! ships in Jackson aud Graham counties the richt to vote oo the question of no-! fence was takeu up. It does not allow townships to vote on the matter, requir ing such elections to be held only by the entire county. It was characteriz ed as a very remarkable bill aud was defeated, l>y a large luijority. A motion was made to reconsider. It was stated that the matter had been made a political issue in the late cam paign. One member said that the mouu taiu counties did uot want the stock law Another member said it was much better to have townships hold such elections than to let counties hold thoui in the West. The motion prevailed to ww" 1 " tbe vote by which the bill was defea-ed. The counties of Madison, Clay, Mitch ell and Henderson wore and the bill passed its second reading. On tho third reading the yeas and nays were demanded aud tho same de bate arose. Mr. Leazur sa:d tho bll infringed sttongly upon tho law allowing loeal op tion on tho no-feneo question, and ou other questions also. Somo townships in a county might need such a law, while others might not. This bill does not allow townships nry right of laeal option. The passage of such a bill is a d..:igcrous precedent. The law allow ing townships to vote is just ; the pas sage of this bill denies the people a sa ored right. Snth a principle is sound for both parties, because it is for the people. The amendment including Madison county wai thereupon withdrawn, and so was that lor .Mitchell. Mr. Macon, Republican, said he was iu line with Mr. Leazar and believed in locul self-government. That be consid ered it tho great ussue iu polities now. There were several allusions ty speak ers to the County government question. (Tho b.llto repeal tliut law comes up a» to-morrow's special ord r ) A vote was finally taken on the bill on its third reading audit was defeated b) an over whelming vote. THE THIRTEENTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT A resolution of inquiry as to whether this district was composed of contiguous territory was taken up, with a report that tho district was uot composed ol contiguous territory, but that the mat ter could not be remedied. THE WAKE STOCK LAW. The bill to repeal the stock ltw foi Wake was taken up, wi'.h majority and minority committee reports ; the fortnei favorable, and the latter that it was matter which should not be considered separately, but should couie up in an omnibus bill in regard to the stock law in tho various counties. Jan 25.—1n the Senate the bill tc amend the Code increasing the salarie* of Superior Court Judges and prevent thorn from using free passes ou railroa it came up on second reading, A substi tute was offered proposing to allow th n s•'>oo per annum, payable quarterly, f r travelling expenses, und to prohibit them from accepting freo pa sss. \ motion to table prevailed—ayes 80, days 14. The Ilepsal of the county government act occupied most of the attention of tin llou-o. Jan. 2'J.—Tho Judiciary Committee rer oi tod adversely (unanimous) a resnlu tion offering a reward of s>7do fir W L. Bingham. A resolution to amend the law so n to allow the Governor to increase tht reward for criminals iu e*traordinarj cases to if 1,000. was referred. The bill to exempt industries fioti taxation for five year* was made tLii special order for next Wednesday. Iu the House Sutton introduced a resolution, whioh was ri-ad and placet on the calendar, iu opposition to a renew al of tho lease of the North Caroline Railroad to the present lessees. The following bills were introduced To appropriate $7,000 for rebuilding the qtinnuitino hospital at Price's Croel Brunswick county, and for buildiug c wharf and making other iuipiovementi there. To prevent the spread of hog cholera. To reduce the fees for marriage li censes. To suspend the statute of limitations in certain cases. Tho one crop idea must be abandon ed befo:e ever the people of tho Soutli can bcoomo the prosperous, happy and contented people that they can become, Natuve has done so much for us—wi have done so little. Lot us meet nature half wiv and use the soil for the pro duction of the things that it is so well adapted to. Bankruptcy stares us in the face unless we change our mode ol farming.— Wilson Advance.
