Hail is the East. A slight hail storm swept over Goldsboro yesterday evening. At Clayton, Johnston county, the hail fell in sheets. The people were driven from the fields to seek shelter. Windows were broken and it is said that the stones were as large as hen eggs. 1 A Gold Bar. We saw yesterday a bar of gold taken from the Cagle mine in Moore couDty, that weighed 8 ounces, 23 decimal, before melting. It lost 1 decimal in melting, is 880 fine and con tained a mere trace of silver about 160th part. It weighs 275 dwt, Hakxktt. Squire C. H.

Falkland, April 10, 1878. " Messrs. Editors : As the time is fast approaciiing for the Convention to be held for the nomination of a Solicitor for the Third Judicial District, and as the name of Mr. L A. Sugg, of Pitt county, the law partner of Lieut. Gov. Jarvis, has been suggested in the columns of the Goldsboro Messenger, I most heartily con cur in the selection of Mr. Sugg. He is a gentleman of talents, one of the best financiers in Eastern Carolina for one of his age, and a gentleman who has been more than ordinarily successful as a busi ness man in every pursuit which he has undertaken. He was a student of the late Hon. R. M. Pearson, and stood high among the class of ten (10) that obtained license at? June term, 1875. He has since he became a member of the bar, devoted bis entire time and talents to business and those who know him best can with me say that he is a most thorough business man and a gentleman. He, with Lieut. Gov. Jarvis, has a very lucrative practice, Mr. Sugg being the business manager of the firm. He was elected Solicitor of the Inferior Court of Pitt county upon the establishment of the said court in Septem ber last, and his marked skill and ability in the prosecution of criminals in Pitt county has proven that he is peculiarly fitted for a prosecuting attorney. The court in Pitt county has proved a success and it is mainly attributable to the untir ing efforts of Mr. Sugg. If he can be induced to accept the office he would soon be recognized as a most excellent Solicitor, and offenders of the law would soon be made to feel the force of his character, and we bespeak for him the entire support of Pitt county in the coming Convention. Pitt county is solidly for W. N. H. Smith for Chief Justice, and any other good men for Associates. Farming operations are progressing finely and everything is looking well for the season. More anon, Civicm. Senator iHcrrimon. From the Goldsboro Messenger. A few days ago Senator Merrimon called upon the Secretary of War for information in possession of the War Department rela tive to the occupation of the Atlantic & N. C. Railroad by the government from May to October 1865, and such further informa tion touching the exhorbitant prices char ged the Road for engines and other rolling stock, of which the Road stood sadly in need after the property was surrendered by the military. The Secretary of War seems not to have shown a very willing disposition to furnish the desired informa tion, but Senator Merrimon was determin ed to obtain what he sought for, and in keeping with his characteristic perseverance promptly offered a motion in the Senate that the Secretary be instructed to furnish all information concerning the matter in his possession forthwith, and as the result, before night, the Senator had gained his point. North Carolina has just cause to feel proud of her Senatorial representation, as also of that in the House. The courteous, gallant Ransom is the Chesterfield of the Senate, in ability the peer of any of his colleagues, and respected and courted by all. Merrimon has taken a bold stand and is a leader among leaders, fie has earned for himself a national reputation of which any public man might justly feel proud, and it is truly gratifying to see his Senato rial career strongly applauded and ap proved even by those woo violently op posed and so severely criticised his mode of election. ' LETTEB FBOII PASQUOTANK. Correspondence of Thb Ossnvn.1 Elizabeth Crrx, April 9, 1878. The farmers are progressing finely with their crops.

Leasbtjbg, N. C, April 8, 1878. Messrs. Editors: This second epistle write I unto you from Caswell, because there are somethings whereof I wished to mention in my first, thinking they might be of interest to some of your readers, which would have made it to long, hence No. 2. railroad meeting. On Tuesday Judge McKoy adjourned the Court about 3 o'clock p. m. after a session of six hours, for the purpose of al lowing the citizens of the county the use of the court room for the purpose of hold ing a meeting to hear Maj. W. T. Suther lin of Danville, Vs., give his views upon the practicability of building a narrow gauge railroad from Milton to Yanceyville. A HEW DEPARTURE. At the close of the session of the court on Friday afternoon. His Honor Judge McKoy directed Sheriff Griffith to bring the prisoners into court who had been sent to jail for non-payment of costs and fines; when they were brought in he gave them a pertinent lecture, and told them as the county had no work-house, he was on willing to let them lie in jail in idleness at the expense of this county when there was so much work needed to be done, he would, therefore, give them the privilege of getting some one to hire them and let them work out the amounts of the judg ments. After some gentlemen bad agreed to take them, then the Judge fixed the length of time they were required to work, and told them if they did not work, those hiring them were at liberty to deliver them to the Sheriff to be sent to jail. This is surely quite a novel way of proceeding, but is nevertheless a very good one, for it relieves the county of the expense of keep ing these men in idleness, and places them to work with men of their own selection, until the charges are paid. It occurs to me that this plan is more economical to the counties than the work-house system ; it takes well in this county, and all - com mend the course of the Judge in this new departure. The road from Yanceyville to this place, a distance of twelve miles, is very rough, so much so that four miles an hour is con sidered good traveling. A portion of the lands are quite fertile, but owing to the system of farming since the late unpleas antness (working by tenants), much of the land has depreciated in value and in pro duction. This system, however, is under going a change, and will result in the farmer's benefit. LEA8BURG. This beautiful little town was once the county site of Caswell, before the division by cutting off Person. It is situated in the former county, but a few hundred yards from the line, and has been in former days quite a flourishing town. There are about 300 inhabitants, and some Jof the most kind and hospitable people it has been my pleasure to meet. .- A correspondent of The Obsebveb some time ago passed through the town and gave a very gloomy account of the place; he certainly must have bad on a severe case of indigestion ; but I suppose he viewed it from a different standpoint fromfyour present correspondent Many of the first families of the county reside here, and nearly every one has a farm in close proximity to the village, so that they make nearly all of their 'supplies at home, and the farms are in a pretty high stale of cultivation. The views are splendid from some of the residences, and the large fields of beau tiful wheat show, that while Europe may be for war, (he people of Leasburg are for something to eat, which indicates that their heads are level. I counted 17 large beautiful residences in town, and a friend at my elbow says, there is an average of one marriagable young lady to each house, some have two and three, but the average is one. If I thought it would not in any way commit The Observer, I would just like to say, that if those I saw at church are a fair specimen, they are just pretty enough to adorn any man's mansion ; if ye local just wants to see something lovely, let him come to Leasburg. There are three stores of mixed stock, or general merchandise in town, Wm. Pay lor, Jr., Pulliam & Connelly, and J. T. Bradshaw. Two physicians, Drs. J. A. Stanfield, and J. A. Thompson. One lawyer, CoL George N. Thompson, (whose guest I am at this writing, and while memory lasts I will often recur with pleasure to the pleasant hours spent with this interesting family.) . There is only one church building in Leasburg, that is owned by the Methodist denomination ; Rev. R. A. Willis is the pastor, and is very much beloved by the people ; he is an acceptable and earnest preacher. .- The Summerfield, Male and Female Academy at this place, is under the man agement of Rev. Solomon Lea ; the school is in good condition. Mr. Lea is a good and faithful teacher, having had long ex perience in the business. the observer. It is truly gratifying, Messrs. Editors, to know that your efforts to make The Obsebveb. The People's Paper.interesting, are so highly appreciated; sometimes your correspondent is almost made to blush at tbe many compliments paid you for your perseverance and energy manifested in getting up a paper so well adapted to the wants of the masses. Not one person in a hundred objects to it on account of the price. They want a good paper and the price is of small consideration when they get a paper that suits them, and I am pleased to knosv that The Obsebveb suits them. A prominent gentleman in Yan ceyville was looking over the long list of subscribers obtained at court, and remark ed ; "Sir, if you had come to me for a list of the best and most influential men of Caswell county, I could not have given them to you more accurately than you have them on the subscription list of the Obsebveb." The time is soon coming when they will all take it. I leave here this morning for Roxboro, where you may expect to bear from me again. R. A. Leigh. ' PA.T1L.ICO COUATV LETTEB. Correspondence of The Observer. Stonewall, April tn, 187S. Messrs. Editors: As the time for holding the various conventions is fast ap proaching, and seeing though the columns of The Obsebveb letters from all parts of the State placing forward the name of some "friend" for the different positions we hope yon will pardon us for doing "likewise." In placing the name or names of ou r choice before the people we do not intend to attack the character of anyone whose name has been mentioned for the same position. We look upon that as a bad precedent, and as we are not a regular correspondent should we fall to follow , the example of other correspondent and thereby commit an error, we ask that those injured may forget &nd forgive. U we were to judge from the many let ters that we have seen in print within the last few months in regard to the Chief and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court we should long ago have come to the conclu sion that not one that has been mentioned for either of those positions had any quali fication whatever to commend them to the people, but we have sot so judged nor do we think this kind of warfare proper, es pecially when we consider that from those very names our ticket it to be made. The names of all the gentlemen that have been mentioned in connection with the Supreme Court we look upon as being pre-eminently qualified to fill the "bill.' The State being divided into three grand divisions, East, Centre and West, we think it would be but justice that each of those divisions be represented on the Su pre me Court bench, and as an Eastern man we place forward the name of one, who like "Caesar's wife," is above suspi cion, an able- lawyer and profound jurist, the Hon. Charles C. Clark of Craven: with Smith as Chief Justice, Schenck and Clark as Associates, North Carolina could boast of a Supreme Court such as she has boasted of in ante bellum days. Those men are all worthy of the Doutions and iuslice demands that W.-N H. Smith be retained as Chief Justice. No one can doabt bit honesty, Ida integrity or his fidelity to the party, whose cause be has espoused.. As a lawyer and jurist he nas out lew equals ana no superiors. Smith, Clark and Schenck is our ticket, first, last and all the time. , . . Xioreanon, , C SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. : Correspondence of The Ohikth. Dayie Cotjhtt, N. C, April 1878. ; Messrs. Editors: "The judiciary is the palladium of public liberty and private rights in a free government, and its minis trations, guided by fairness, moderation and justice, challenge, and should receive, the cordial support of all right-minded men." Thus closes the letter of Chief Justice Smith., But suppose " iu ministrations," or any one of them, should be guided by unfairness and cruelty itself, outrage jus tice, sanction crime, and corrupt the mor als of the country then what should they receive of all right-minded men ? On which side do the decisions in the cases of Driver and Miller fall? Driver, worse than a Comanche Indian, of loathsome fiendish ness, below the brute, beats and drives his wife to the death of her unborn babe, with less feeling and care for her than a brood mare. Yet the Supreme Court says thirty days in jail is sufficient punishment. Miller, the adulterer, in her absence making his wife's chamber the scene of his crime, and this "no ground for divorce," according to the Supreme Court of North Carolina. Look farther: a man may, according to this decision, live in adultery as much as he pleases, if he don't let his wife know it; for they say Miller "intended no indignity to his wife, as be did not intend her to know it." But if she does find it out, it make no difference; she cannot obtain a divorce. Why? Because her knowledge was the result of her inquiries say the Judges. Here is liberty and private rights, sure enough for Driver and Miller; liberty to commit the deepest crime, and the right to do so, if done privately. But where is the liberty and "private right" of the wives of these brute-men ? Will the Court say ? Here are rights: that is for Driver and Miller, and all who wish to enjoy them. But where are the r ghts of the wives of these men at the same time? . The Judici ary, it appears, is the palladium of public liberty and private rights along the Driver and Miller line, but not of their wives. What would be the effect on society, on morals or virtue on domestic relations, if such ideas of "fairness, moderation and justice" obtained throughout tbe.country ! All 'Tight-minded men," and women as well, cannot fail to see how disastrous, how ruinous. It was said on a memorable occasion in North Carolina history, "the judiciary was exhausted," but now jt appears; much as if decency was exhausted. Instead of "cordial support," what should such men receive? They de serve the curse of every unfortunate woman the brutality of whose hus band is thus increased and finds a palla dium in the Judiciary. They deserve the scorn and hisses of every virtuous woman in the land for such "ministrations" as would force her to live with a foul, loath some adulterer whose private rights as such find a palladium in the present Ju diciary. They deserve at the hands of all right-minded men as soon as the opr rtu nity offers' removal by the electric fires of the ballot box, and their places filled by men whose ministrations shall be guided by fairness, moderation and justice; or by men who. should any be otherwise, would at least dissent. Ovw. CRAXVILLE COl'.VrV LETTER. The No Fence Law. Correspondence of I'm Obsbbvex. Wilton, N. C, April 12, 1878. Messrs. Editors : Will you allow me to occupy a small portion of your columns for the benefit of our farmers, as I know of no better paper to get than yours to carry through that long wanted law, "Ibe no fence law." 1 have consulted the ma jority of our leading farmers, and all are highly in favor of it, especially those that live at cross roads, and have a fence to keep up on both sides; also, those that have fences on streams. It is frequently the case in July or August, just in their busiest time of the year, that they have their whole crop turned out to be destroyed by stock. No one is opposed UKit except those that have no lands. About one-third of our farmers in this section cannot fence themselves, that is, there is not tim ber enough standing to put back a new fence. Every darkey that has a cow and pig. is opposed to taking away fences, but their cows are kept so poor tbaUtney only afford a little miik in grass season. It would lie money saved for the landholders to pay the worth of these cows and pigs every year in order to save the heavy ex penses of fences. The labor and ex pense that a man puts on his fences, if put upon bis lands.- would cause a largeiy increased yield.. All the while times are becoming more and more oppressive. In some way or other we are bound to have relief. The expenses of unnecessary fences would pay fifty percent, of our people out of debt. " Lands would be worth more, and stock improved. From a steady reader of The Obsebveb. Respectfully, J. W. H. A LIVE SOIITR CAROLINA TOWN. Correspondence ef The Obseevek.) Greensboro, N. C, April 12, 1878. Messbs. Editors: lam just from Reids ville. The vote was there going on for $18,000 subscription to the Leaksville and Reidsville narrow gauge; $12,000 to bring it to Reidsville and $6,000 after completion to extend it to the Virginia line. At 4 o'clock this evening the vote stood 94 for the subscription, and not one against. A prominent citizen of Greensboro nas just remarked that there's not another town in the State that would have given such a vote, and it is but typical of the wonderful spirit of thrift and enterprise that stirs our Reidsville people. The news is so good as showing the spirit of one live town, that I write it to our best friend, The Observes. T. C. E. making- Public Opinlen. From Tom Evans' Reidsville Times. And now a baker's dozen of idlers with nothing else to do are congregating into what they term large and enthusiastic meetings of the people and resolving for this man for the supreme bench or that man for the United States Senate, and off yonder in the fields the people are at bard work digging the ground or at work in the trade shops scuffling for the living that these bread eaters are consuming. And the rural editor who has sat out his pants writ ing up copiously the proceedings of the meeting announces in his next that his county has declared overwhelmingly in favor of John Doe for the supreme bench or Richard Roe for the United States Sen ate. Why in a town the other day the meeting resolved that no man should be supported for the Legislature who would not pledge beforehand his vote to a certain candidate for the United States Senate. That candidate was Gov. Vance, , In due order we look for another of like nature pledging its men for the Legislature to Mer rimon. Indeed that would be nice. The wholeaffairB of state affecting the business interests of the people to be merged into a mere personal campaign between Vance and Memmon. The sober thinking masses of the democratic party are not race horses under the bit of any particular man for the United States Senate. It is these little meetings that pop up and pass out and are no more to the sentiment of the great mass es than two men and a boy are to a crowd on a muster day, that are now heralded by the press as the opinion at large of the country, when the truth is not a man yet has quit his plow or stopped work to give the sub ject of the Supreme Court or the Senator ship a steady thought. And unless these bread eaters are squelched nutil the bread makers have spoken, we arc promised as dire a panic this summer politically as the country now undergoes financially. -i ' The bull of the rebel gun-boat Florida has just been burned in Boston Harbor for the sake of the metal in it.

ORIGINAL AND COMPILED. J ' f ' gHjjEp KAJSIKO. ' ' ' When purchasing rams obtain a few thoroughbred ewes and breed your own rams. Exchange, or sell when you need fresh blood.. On no account keep any rams over from the regular flock, . they will improve the breed not one whit, and the principal profit to be looked for comes from improvement in the fleece and blood. A really good ram should improve one pound of wool per bead on its progeny. The Farmer' Union, of August 2, 1877, quotes the following : "Two farmers in a near by county owned a flock of sheep jointly, which sheared, on an average for three years, SJ pounds each per annum. The partnership ceased three years ago and the sheep were . evenly divided, and kept on the same premises as formerly. One of the men introduced a blooded ram into his flock, and the other kept on in the same old channel. Result: the graded flock this season averaged 7 pounds of wool to the fleece and the increased value of the lambs sold from this flock has more than paid for the blooded ram." , BERMUDA GRASS AND SHEEP. The true value of Bermuda grass for pasturage, and as a preventive to lands washing, is .more than ever before being understood by Southern farmers. Bermuda g ass is to the South what blue grass is to entucky. We have never yet found the man; who was familiar with Bermuda grass for pasture, who has denied its value for this purpose. We have yet to meet the man who dares assert that this grass upon rich land, doea.not equal blue grass or orchard in the amount of grazing fur nished. . Bermuda, acre for acre, will fur nish twice the grazing, the same space of time considered, as any other plant ever introduced into the Southern States. Like blue grass, it spreads from runners thrown out in every direction, until a solid mat is formed over the entire surface of the ground. From May until November it can be grazed, and, during this period of time grows constantly and remains green. No plant known better withstands the heat of summer. It will grow and spread over the very poorest soil will grow upon all kinds of soil is extremely hardy, end bard to eradicate. Suppose a man should sod out one hun dred acres, average land, to Bermuda, such land is worth not more than $6 per acre in Mississippi. This pasture would sustain four head of sheep to the acre seven months of the year. These sheep, if crossed by a thoroughbred Merino or Cotswold ram, would produce an average of five lbs. of woo), valued at 40 cents per lb., or $2 each, aggregating a sum total $800 from wooL Ten acres, if sown in Johnson grass, will produce three cuttings per season of hay. This amount of hay, say 40 tons, with 100 bushels of cotton seed, will carry the 400 sheep through the remaining months. A mowing machine will cut ten acres of hay per day. , . receipts. 200 lbs. wool at 40 cents $800.00 300 lambs at $2. 600.00 Total $1400.00 expenditures. 1 man, 1 year, at $20 per month... $240. 00 Cutting and storing in barn 10 acres hay 30.00 1 sack salt at 2, and 100 bushels cotton seed at 10 cents 12.00 Total $282.00 This $282 taken from $1400 leaves a clear profit of $1,118 for the year. The above figures are not exaggerated in the least, as every fair-minded man will readily admit; and the plan suggested is entirely practicable, and experience we know, will substantiate the figures and the estimate here made. Not only will Ber muda and sheep bring to the owner big money in wool and mutton, but the land, year by year, increases in fertility and pro ductiveness. Old lands now washed and abandoned, if fenced and set in Bermuda, to be grazed by sheep, will fast regain its former richness, and become a scairce of wealth to the owner. Southern Line Stock Journal. 1 COTTOX CAKE FOR fKEDINQ. In relation to the statement that a large proportion of cotton seed cake used for fattening stock contained a large propor tion 50 per cent of trash, and a large proportion of husk and woolley fiber. Dr. Voelcker says that the percentage of husk in cotton seed amounted on an average to 40 per cent. Although the busk of cotton seed bad no feeding value, it was not alto gether a worthless material, for it contain ed an astringent principle in virtue of which undecorticated cotton cake was very useful for stock out on rough pasture or fed upon succulent food, which have a tendency to scour animals. Undecorticated i cotton cake counteracted this tendency, ! and was a useful food under such circum stances. Undecorticated cotton cake should not be given to calves, and decorticated cotton cake is required to be given to ani mals judiciously. He bad brought under his notice more than 100 cases in which cotton . cake is alleged to have poisoned sheep and cattle, lie found, however, that the alleged injury was due to the in- j judicious way in which cotton cake was given to stock. A food so rich in albumi nous compounds as decorticated cotton cake required to be broken up very fine, or better still to be ground into meal, which should be mixed with twice its weight of Indian corn, rice meal or other meals com paratively speaking, poor in nitrogenous or albuminous compounds, and rich in non-nitrogenous or starchy constituents.

THE CHI7FA. ; The chufa is a species of nut grass but unlike the terrible garden pest, it does not survive the winter. The planting seed must be gathered, dried and boused. Af ter you save what seed you wish, just turn your hogs into the field and they will do the harvesting. As regards planting and cultivating, first, lay off the rows three feet apart, put in barn-yard manure or some kind of good fertilizer, bed on. say two furrows, open the bed as you would for cotton, say, two inches deep, as they grow near the surface. Drop one nut at intervals of about 12 inches' apart, then cover. Plant about the 15th of April. Should moles destroy any they can be drawn as slips and reset, they never wither for being reset. 1 reset half an acre last year and I do not think one died. Keep clear of grass and weeds, and plow about twice. The yield is about 800 or 400 bushels per acre; hogs prefer them to.any other food. . There is no comparison between corn and chufa; he hogs fatten faster on chufa; and we do not have the trouble and ex pense of gathering them. They do belter in light soil. R. B.

Whereat, Thousands of ReDubhcan offi cials throughout the country are under or ders from, the President of the United States to abstain from participation in some or me necessary steps in tue great work : therefore, be it " Beaohed, That the Republicans of the two Houses of Congress do. earnestly urge the President to rescind his order forbid ding the attendance of officials in the exe cutive branch of the civil service at pre liminary meetings, caucuses, and conven tions of a political character, and their ser vices upon political committees. , Betolved, That a copy of these resolu tions be forwarded to the President. The motion was adopted without oppo sition, and then Mr. 'Price, of Iowa, offered a resolution which gives the Con gressional committee power to appoint a standing committee of 11, composed of Senators and Representatives, to consult regarding the course which the party, as such, should take upon legislation pend ing in Congress. I ms also was adopted, and then, at a late hour, the caucus ad journed, its action is on tne wnoie re garded as a victory for the more conserva tive winz of the nartv. and the harmonv and good feeling which prevailed is gen erally taken as promising the best re am u. , . . , Catawba Countt.

THE EASTERN QUESTION. . ; London, April 11. A St. Petersburg correspondent of the Tim telegraphs: The horizon is again overcast by the change attributed to speeches made in the British Parliament and to the consequent alteration in the attitude of the Austrian Cabinet and the apparent hesitation of Germany to act as mediator. It is be lieved in official circles that some of Lord Salisbury's remarks on Monday indicate the intention of going to war. London, April 13. The tone of com ments on the political crisis is much more hopeful from all directions than yesterday. The whole basis for this change seems to be a conviction that Russia is preparing to accept Germany's help to get out of the present dead lock, by such concessions as will secures meeting of the Congress. Prince UortschakofT s reply to Lord Salis bury's circular and toe circular to which it was annexed, were only published in St. Petersburg on Thursday, which strength ens the belief that the former was tele graphed hither on Tuesday night for a special purpose The circular, when is sued here ou Thursday afternoon, created a depressing influence on the Stock x change, in consequence of the reiteration of the refusal to submit the treaty of San Ste fano to the Congress. Russian stocks de clined over two per cent, to-day. However it is pointed out that although the circular offers no concession on the point at issue, it is couched in such considerate and mod erate language as to leave the door, open for England to make some reply to the in vitation for further explanation, and thereby furnish a basis for a common un derstanding at Vienna. Prince Gortscha koffs reply created an impression of Rus sia's willingness to find ' an acceptable method for re-opening negotiations. This moderate spirit is believed to be f n a great measure due -to the altered tone of the comments of the German, French and Italian press and politicians concerning the treaty of San Stefano, which points to a probability of Russia instead of England being isolated in the case of a rupture. . f Londox, April 15. The state of affairs with reference to the Eastern Question re mains substantially the same. There is no change in the attitude of the powers. The man point between England and Russia is still unsettled. While this is the case i he prospect of a Congress and a peaceful arrangement of the whole difficulty is as far off as ever. 1 There is a strong feeling in both countries that war is inevitable. FORTY-fimCOERESS. Washington, April 11 Senate. Sen ator Dennis presented Montgomery Blair's resolution of the Maryland Legislature in relation to the Electoral Commission, and moved to refer it to the Judiciary Com mittee. He took occasion to express his dissent from the action of the Legislature and his -opposition to anything that was likely to revive the scenes of strife and discord. ; The resolution was referred as indicated.: . ; Mr. Burnside's bill regarding the enlist ment of colored men came up. Mr. Bruce made a strong speech deprecating special legislation in favor or against negroes.

Mr. Hartridge, of Georgia, asked leave to . take from the Speaker's table for reference. Senate bill on the Pa cific roads, known as the Thurman bilL Mr. Cox, ot New York, objected.
