s. DAILY OBSERVER. OnSSTONE JONES,' Editor. Thursday, January 9, 1873.' THE, GENERAL ASSEMBLY. , . The Legislature re-assembles on the loth, ihst;. arid the session will probably continue till March. . .. . Jlielast' part of; the present ses sion will be more harmonious than the first, as the vexed Senatorial ,. question is out of the way, ' This Legislature is ,a v- first-rate wprking bod' ' -With ' the exception ot a few who love to hear the sound of their own , voices, v speech-making U subordinated to legislation.- Manv oi its nieniDers ares men oi age ana experience, distinguished for talent r. and wisdom, and imbued with the ; spirit of - true patriotism. It con tains a large proportion of young iqen,, but si sufficient number of grey hpads appear in the midst to give prudence and ripened wisdom to the body, ; f ... r Before tlie recess was taken a num ber of important "measures-:--were adopted. - - - A resolution emanating -from a Republican source was passed, ask 'iijg Congress for the-remoyal of; the political disabilities of all those" who a re still under the- ban. .It is high ;t: me we think'for Congress to listen t appeals of this kind coming from the South. Therejs no, rcasonwhy a! marfaQveyer prominent he i-may ' l)ave been in the Confederate-cause, ejhould bek'ept underpoliticaL disa-" bilities now. - , - - I We hope the petition of pur Gen eral Assembly will i be granted : for a dumber of our best men,, are still as ijt were ' held 'under the evil eye of the government. '"..-Among them may pe mentioned, Gov. Graham, Hon. N.lL Smith, lion. David Cole nan, HonBurton Craige, and Gen- sral D. H. Hill. Mr. Richard Badger was the author of tlus resolution ' v A resolution em powering the joint committee to investigate the sale -of the Western North Carolina Rail road, was adopted, and may lead to igood results. Th e road under its present management ' gives consid erable dissatisfaction. It is alleged that the sale of the road was illegal ; i and the question we imagine is onei which only a court of Law -can de cide. - - ' A Joint Resolution making some important changes"1 in the mode of drawing jurors- for the. Federal Court of this State was-ratified in Decem ber. ;.. Heretofore packing juries was an easy matter, and the ( Marshal could . Sjelept ,whom:.he pfeaised. A change'in this respect was impera tively demanded. Good jury Uwsafd absolutely necessary for the jnst-ad-ininistration of the law. f. Prejudiced jurors are? the worst engines of op pression, and no justice need ever be expected in courts where partial ju ries are empannelled. - ' . ' i ( The judiciary system undergoes a most 'important change. Judges.of the Superior Courts will liereafter be elected;l)y the,, voters ot the ' respec tive Judicial Districts of '". the State. This will enable the 'citizens of -this district perhaps to rid themselves of J udge Logan, and put some one in his place , who knows more about law. . . ' - ' . . - . i ; The bill ' for the reduction of the salaries of the Governor and Treasu rer elicited a great deal of debate, and much time was spent over it. It fixes the Governor's salary at $4,000. The act for the Support of the In i sane Asylum this year, provides am ple means for the maintenance of ! the Asylum at Raleigh, and provides ' also for the establishment" of addi ; tional accommodations for lunatics, in the shape of. another Asylum, to be located somewhere in the western portion of the State . . -, . ' In the matter of ; Railroads much was done. ..- The New York, Norfolk ,and Charleston Railroad . Company was incorporated. This 'road will open up a magnificent region of country in ..the eastern part of the Stat 6, -embracing : principally the counties of Gates, Hertford, Bertei, Martin, Pitt, Green, Lenoir, Duplin; New Hanover, ' Bladen and r Colum bus. Strenuous opposition -was made to this act, because the charter did not require that the road should touch Wilmington. , As it is it will cross the country about thirty miles from Wilmington. The Wilson and Tar River narrow gauge railroad was incorporated '. This will be the first road of the kind built in this State, and is no doubt. the precursor .to many more of the same sort." . There are many sections of the State which might be. greatly ; benefitted by the construction of short andcheaplines of railway. :. No community: nowa days can arrive at that full, measure of prosperity ' to which it might be entitled unless -it is traversed by, a raihjad. '" In the coming part of the session many more acts of public interest and importance will ;' no doubt be passed, and the legislators will re turn to their homes in the spring with the consciousness of having ac complished through the wintersome good for the State. ..''

There is no in the State iPenitentiaay at Fort Madison an aged couple who aTe serving out a term for the crime of incest, thev beiner brother and sis ter. The story is this : At the age of twelve years tne male left his fath er's house to seek his fortune and no more return. He, in time, came West, grew to manhood and married, raised a family of -children, and final ly his wife died. His sister grew to womanhood, was married, and with her husband came west, and to Iowa. Her husband died, and in time she received an offer of marriage from a man who was a widower. , She ac cepted the offer and they were mar ried. Her husband was wealthy, and after a time one of his sons wished to have the father give him some property, but the father refused to accede to his demands. The son one day, while looking , over th e i fam ily record of the stepmother, which had been laid aside and forgotten, discov ered that there was a kinship between the families, and a further investiga tion proved that his father and step mother were own brother and sister. To avenge himself for his father's re fusal to give him the bulk of his pro perty, he brought suit against them both for incest. They were tried and convicted and sent to the penitentia ry for one year. They are both over 60 years of age, and as innocent . of intent to commit crime as the new born babe. Chicago Journql, " What a. Single Wave Can De There is a vessel in Queenstown har bor of 1,200 tons, which received from a single seaasurprisingamount of damage. This vessel, a Norwegi an, was struck by a sea or wave of so tremendous a character in the late galenas to sweep that portion of her cargo which -. was stowed upon the deck in a moment into the sea; to carry off her cooking apparatus, made of cast-iro,n, to empty and in jure j her deckhouse, to smash her bulwarks and stanchions, to wound and bruise three of her men, and re duce four more to a state of weak ness aud: syncope ; to break the mate's thigh and wanh - a seaman overboard, and finally to fill the cabin and damage all the Drovisions' so that the crew were nearly starv ing when they came into Queens town. AH these injuries were pro duced in a' moment by a single wave It not only.clearedthe decks. but it extinguished :, hope in the h earts of th e crew,, who, th e mom en t they were struck, never expected to see land again, Irish Telegraph. The- Pennsylvania Constitutional Convention assembled in Philadel phia Monday. This is a body of the highest importance, and the true patriots of the State ' look to them to rescue Pennsylvania from the cor ruption of the times, and restore the rule of those principles of truth, jus tice and liberty in which that Com monwealth "was founded. ; -s . , Characteristics of Dickens. . His very idleness, Mr. Foster .says, was "strenuous," like his work. He walked eighteen miles in four hours and a half, in the full heat of a glow ing summer's day, simply as a sort of relief for the strain of his nerves. On another occasion, Mr. Foster says : "But he did even his nothings in" a strenuous way, and on occasion could make gallant fight against the elements themselves. He reported himself, to my horror, thrice wet through on a single day, .'dressed four times and finding alb sorts of great things brought out ;-by the rains," among the rocks on. the sea beach." When he was living in Ge- noa in I the middle of, winter, he dashes over to London jii3t to try the effect of reading the Chimes to his intimate friends. Between Milan and Strasburgi he was in bed only once for two or three hours at Fri bourg, and had sledged over the Simplon through deep "sno.w, and prodigious cold. His dash -into the editorship of the Daily News and out of it within three weeks, was highly characteristic of the high pressure of his nervous : : decision; . Apropos -; of this matter, -Mr. Foster says very truly that in all in tellectual labors his will prevailed so strongly when he fixed it on any object of desire, that what else its attainment might exact was never duly measured, and this led to frequent strain and un common waste of .what no man could less afford to spare." -- Every thing he did he did with this impe rious resolve to let his volition take its own way, and it led him no- doubt into some of the greatest mistakes of his lite, lie liked to have every thing just : as he has imagined it. His mind strained intensely toward the particular ideal h e had sum moned up in his fancy ; nothing else would satisfy him fpr a moment. :' A Lover Shot in; the Act of Ab ducting His - Sweet-Heart. The Christiansburg Messenger of f yester day says ; ; A young man whose name we could net learfi, wooed and won the affections of a , Miss Price, daughter of Mr, Chapman Price, for merly of this county, but nowv resi dent of Craig. The parents of the young lady bitterly ' opposed her marrying the youth in question, be cause of his dissipated habits. But as is usual in such cases, opposition only added fuel to the flame and confirmed the maiden in her deter mination to cling to her, i lover through thick and thinl Last week learning that Mr. Price - would, be from home, he procured a buggy and went to his residence to elope with his daughter into West 'Virginia, to be married. His affianced was ready and willing to go with him but her mother .set her foot firmly down and vowed that he should, not ' take the girl from the house, at the same time pointing to the gun and telling him if he attempted to "carry her off she would shoot him. Treating these as the idle threats of a woman; the lovers continued their preparations for departure. - All things being ready, they proceeded to the buggy the young lady was handed in the youth had taken his seat by her side, and was -in the act of driving off, when Mrs. Price cut short the whole proceeding bv shooting the aforesaid youth with the gun above mention tioned. The physician that dressed the wound pronounces his recovery extremely doubtful, if not impossi ble. Th is is a sad occurrence, but the universal'verdict will be "served him right." If a few more Mrs. Prices would shoot v a few more worthless lovers,? fewer foolish girls would be rendered miserable for life by indiscreet marriages. A Sad End. John Haddy, a gen tleman and law student, who had Deceived the - best education that Enoland affords, : died of starvation in London the other day. Unable to make a living, and too proud to beg; ne Was earned to the wort house, where he died of inanition. He was a man of vast erudition, ? fine abili- tiet and temperate habits. What a commentary upon English charity and philanthropy. The income of the Inns Court in London is not less than $350,000 a year,; positively lying idle, and yet the Benchers of the Inner rTemple compel law stu dents to pay for admission to their librarv. Poor Mr. 1 Haddy was pre vented from earning a few shillings at law .reporting on ; account of this arbitrary enactm ent.' He had no money: wherewith to pay - "library fees," and he was shut out, from fol lowing his profession by reason of his inability to buy la w ... books. What a fearful place that London is, with all its awful poverty, and ' how tempted one 'becomes when such sad scenes as these are recorded, to cry aloud wito all the' anguish of poor Tom Hoodt - . -j . . "O God I that bread should be so. dear,. And flesh and blood bo cheap !" - Christmas festivities at a Chicago hotel, the Avenue House, included a sauguinary combat in the dining- room between the colored cook arm ? ed with a cleaver, and one of the wai tera, whose weapon was a : razor. The latter implement carried the day, the cunlinary combatant having numerous long slices; carved out of him. As there were no ladie3 in the dining room at the time, such an ev ery day Chicago affair of course "did not create much excitement in the hotel," and moreover, as the Tribune placidly remarks, "the hour was for tunate, for, . occurring before any of the dishes had time, to be over done, "another cook was put in Hill's (the spoiled one s) place and the Christmas dinner did not suffer by his absence." - - - Colonel Hulbert . estimes that twenty thousands people have left Georgia in the last two . years. . The railroad agent at Dalton reports that tour hunhred emigrants had left that place in six months. , Stokes After Condemnation. i At twelve o'clock precisely on Sat urday night Edward S. Stokes re entered the Tombs a condemned felon, on the very anniversary of the day of the week on which lie com mitted the deed which may send him to a felon's death. On the way from the Court to the prison Stokes said not a word to Deputy Sheriff Shields, who has had him in charge on all the many. occasions in which he has been to and from the Tombs during the past year. But the last time he entered the dark gateway of the dingy pile the sentiments he felt were entirely j& variance with those of all other tim es. Then, at 'least, though a murderer, he had strong hope that : hope, indeed, which niaketh the heart sick. But on Sat urday night that heart must have sunk within itself with a great awe and a remembrance of that eternal law of the Divinity,."Thou shalt not kill." He who- thought that 'the whole community ; would support him in the death of a bad ; man then at last found that above v the com munity there is law, above public Opinion there is justice. Throughout the night Stokes slept well in spite of the strong,, emotion. under which he must have labored W hen he woke up . m the morning about seven o clock he was very nervous and depressed, and showed already the effect of that sentence which he had so little expected. 'To him it was a terrible .'blow, all -the more so that it was so little expect ed. When his breakfast was brought him he refusedsaying to the keep er : - . . . "I cannot eat."- - . : , , "You had better take something to support you in your trial," said the keeper, feelingly.' . "Ko, no.; leave me alone. Hi at's all I a.k you," said Stokes.. "I don't want to be annoyed." ' . . THE MENTAL ANGUISH OF STOKES. 7 The. keeper w:ent . away but re marking that Stokes did not : seem himself, and that the coolness which has become almost poverbial had de serted him ; he. passed every few mo ments before the door of his cell. He saw.him lying on the bed which is on the side of his cell, his face con cealed in the pillow, and evidently laboring under the most severe men tal depression. For hours he never siirreu, and at the promenade time of the prisoners, refused to . leave his cell to take his custom ary walk. He did not weep, for when he turned up his face at the question'of the. keep er, whether lie wanted to go out, his eyes ,w er e n ot red, bu t h is face w as haggard and his look was . that of a man who was undergoing the very ex trem ity of m en tal a ngu ish an d on ly wished to be left alone to plunge himself in it to the fullest extent pos sible. Heseemed to revel in anguish, if the expression, may be used in such a solemn thing as the thoughts of a man who already sees the gal lows loom up in his path, where he thought there would be liberty 'and pleasure. - Only those who ; can ima gine the difference between the thoughts of a man who has cultivat ed, cherished and caressed the idea of freedom and the pleasure : of life for long weary days in a lonely cell, caressing his soul with tbe thought and banishing every, unhappy im pulse with the phrasQ "Some day all will be right," and who in one single moment, suddenly, awfully appallingly , hears pronounced against him a sentence of death by twelve men whom he thought his friends, can realize the terror of the feeling which must be Stokes lot at the pre sent moment, when all that cherish ed hope is cast to tbe winds and he .finds himself thrust down on a level with all those vile creatures whom he considered so immeaurable below him; Yea, further down than they, for they have hope while he has none ; no hope but the pardon be yond the grave.-riV.
