JOHNSTONE! JONES, Edltoti Tuesday, January 12, 1873. rT C ?H XT ATI O VS several canaiuaces are in me neiu for Chief Justice of Mexico. :A revo lution is feared. " ; Special meningitis is "the latest agony" among the horses of KcCv York. .- , ; j The Sqltan of Tuykey lias got his "hack up." He has brought suit against the London Times for alleged libel regarding . the Grand Turk's finances.' - - - Ji. - r;-.'J In the Virginia Legislature a pro position is being discussed to make Insurance Companies contribute more largely to the public revenue, by heavy taxation. . ;. The Alabama imbroglio still con tinues. It has the Court Room Leg islature and"the State House Legis lature. There is no prospect of the dead-lock ending for some time to come. Sir Edward Lvtton Bulwer, the noveltst, died in London on Satur day last. He was aged sixjfry-seven. He was the most eminent among all the living novelists of Eng land. The. Weather Bureau at Washing ton gives information which indi cates the approach of a severe winter storm at an early day, A great sea of cold is sweeping onward from the Northwest and will submerge the entire country east of the Mississip- i pi. ! The sessions of Congress hereaf ter are likely to be taken up in de ciding contested elections. On dock et now for trial is the Wall-Niblack contest, of Florida ; Bowen-DeLarge, of South Carolina ; Binchback-War-jnouth, of Louisiana ; and some others. The English holders of some American securities are not satisfied with their investments. Their transatlantic creditors are to be stirred up. At a council of the hol ders of foreign bonds held in London J last Friday the financial positions of the States of Florida, Virginia, Ala bama and Georgia were stigmatized as discreditable. The case of W. H. Howerton and others, against S. McD. Tate and others was called up for argument in the Supreme Court Saturday. Da vid Coleman, Esq., and Messrs. Phil lips and Merri uiori appear for the defendants: Jthe-Attorney General and W. H. Bailey, for trrej"glaintiffs. This is the same case heard before Judge Cloud, at Chambers, a few days ago, and appeal taken from his decision to the Supreme Court. In his inaugural message to the New York . Legislature, Governor Dix, advocates the repeal of the usu ry law and the removal of all res trictions on the price of money. His views are in accord with those of the New York Journal of Commerce, which is regarded as the ablest commer cial newspaper in the United States, and is considered the.organ of lead ing business circles in New York. The King of Italy, whose first wife died in January 1855, has contracted a morganatic marriage with the Countess Marifiori. He signifies his intention of declaring the marriage legal, and thus elevating her to the throne as Queen of Italy. The heir apparent to the throne, Prince Humbert who is in his 28th year, thinks the legalizing of the marriage would be scandalous, and declares his intention of leaving Italy if his father does this j thing. Fathers must obey their sons now-a-days, even if they are kings. The New :ork Herald says the United States Senate, "from an are na of giants has become the show bod: .of pputsanti th at there -is no longer intelleqtuaisfrength, states- wi amiKe inieingence -or moral sound jiess among the . new - comers." It thinks that probably fifty out of trie seventy foUfSenators obtained their seats by purchaseThe Herald ,- vuuiit l h RYnn mn nt oil m r v bers who owe their seats to bribery and says "a Nemesis, awaits ' the guilty ones, and sooner or later, it will fall like a 'thunderbolt, blasting their lives and their repufaTidns." Under head of "Terrors 1 of the BailV theNew of- the 18th reports a series of disasters, oc curring on the 17th: A. sleeping car on the Allegheny Valley Railroad jumpea irom ine track, one passen- gcr wua Kiueu ana six others were '!woundediThe track f theVTiehieh , Valley.

The testimony in the Credit Mo bilier corruption case is to be print ed, so that the public can have the benefit of the revelations regarding the great Hoax Ames swindle. Abill has been introduced in Con gress admitting Colorado as a State. Colorado is one of the most eastern of the territories and contains a population of about forty thousand souls. ( Ui u y o v. v ' - '. A bill has passed Congress for the relief of sufferers by the destruction of certain 'salt works in Kentucky. This is a precedent for the payment of all property destroyed to prevent its falling into the hands of the Con federates. A queer decision was rendered by the Committee of Claims last Satur day, in a case which involved cotton used for fortification purposes du ring the war by tho Federal govern ment. It places cotton so used on a footing with lumber taken for for tification purposes. North Carolina Bonds, sixes, new, brought seventeen cents in Balti more last Saturday. Truly, the credit of our State is sinking down to nothing. Something should be done, and that speedily, to improve the financial condition of the State and restore its credit. The inaction of the Legislature in this all import taut matter is surprising. Congress has taken the whole subject of the Louisiana troubles in hand. Senator Morton introduced a resolution instructing the commit tee on Privileges and Elections to enquire whether there is a legal State government in Louisiana, and if so by whom constituted. The de sign of this, he said, was to give the conxhaittee authority to go into the whole subject matter of the investi gation already commenced by them. Salisbury offered an amendment directing the committee, if they found no legal government existing . in .Louisiana, to enquire when- it ceased to exist, and whether anv Federal officer, executive or judicial, had anything to do with overthrow ing it. The amendment was lost. Morton's resolution was then adopt ed. The committee announce their in tention of probing the matter to the bottom. If so the country may expect to see a world of corruption and political villainy brought to light. LEGISLATURE OF NORTH LIN A. CARO- SENATE. Saturday, Jan. 18. The Senate was called to order bv Mr. President Brogden, at 11 a. m. The Journal of yesterday was read and approved. Messrs. King and Waring were announced as absent on account of sickness. A message was received from the Governor announcing that in con sequence of the failure of the Legis lature to act upon his suggestions on the subject of th.' State debt, as con tained in his annual message, and in view of the vital importance of the subject, and he being no advocate of the "do-nothing policy," and being unwilling to partake of the respon sibilities attending that policy, and concluding that the Legislature do not concur in the views expressed in the annual messaere. he presents an other scheme in the shape of a bill, which however, he does not think perfect, &c,, &c. The r message and accompanying bill were read for information. ; Mr. Cunningham moved the mes sage and bill be referred to the com mittee on the public debt. Adopted : ' Mr. Stillev moved the papers be printed': Adopted;, r :V Mr. Morehead, of Rockingham , having voted in the affirmative un- .J' t 3 iL- aer a misapprenension, : moveu. me vote to print be reconsidered. The vote was reconsidered. . Mr. Merrimon, with all respect to I treiCrqverjaor; thought ? this was a thought the Governor might have waited, the action of the committee n'tbe l&ate debt. How. did the Governor know the committee had disregarded the suggestions of his an hual message, "or;-nadf adopted the ."dpnpthing policy f". :Tbe cpnimit tee had made no report as yet, but were engaged actively in the consid eration of the matter. He," Mr. M., could not understand how senators could sit still and submit to the dic tation of Gov.' Caldwell and even help1 hinTtO parade his schemes , to the world and make the -impression that the Legislature -i' was - domgj no thing and he everything. The -com mittee doubtless understood its du tyi to be to report to the General Assent blyf and not to Gov. Caldwell ; and he, Mr. M., was satisfied they would do this at the proper time ,and ii an effective manner. tfW-'M " : Mr. Merrimon moved the message and accompanying bill be referred, without being printed, to the com mittee on the State debt. Adopted. The bill to incorporate the "Mid dle and North Carolina Railway Com pany" the special , order was put upon its passage.' The bill proposes a railway from Beaufort harbor to Memphis, Tenn. The bill is of un usual length and proposes to give to he company large powers. Mr. Ellis, of Columbus, moved the further consideration of the bill be postponed till Monday week ? at 12 m. ; ! Mr. Welch urged prompt action. It was a scheme of great magnitude, calculated to develop the resource i of the Sta'.e. The - projectors were capitalists of Europe aud proposed to build a road through our territory some 450 miles long. Mr. Ellis was not opposed to the scheme but he wanted to see, the bill in print that its provisions might be fully understood, Mr. Morehead, of Guilford, was not prepared to vote on the bill with out further investigation. He favor ed printing. Mr. Morehead, of Rockinghwn, urged prompt action but did not op pose the printing. All, he said, agre ed to print, but the question of pay ing the printing bill was the only one in issue. Mr. Norwood, in behalf of poor tax payers of the State, thought the friends of this gigantic schemeshould pay for printing the information they wish to lay before the legislature. He favored the postponement. Mr. Welch thought it extraordi nary that the Senate should hesitate to print this bill, the gentleman hav ing the bill in charge, on behalf of the company, having gone home. Mr. Cowles moved to amend the motion of Mr. Ellis, of Columbus, to postpone the further considera tion of the bill till Friday next, and that the bill be printed. The time consumed on the question of print ing had already cost more than twice the sum required to print. Mr. Humphrev urged the adop tion of the pending amendments and the passage oi the bill on its second reading. The bill might then be printed and thoroughly examined be fore the third reading. Mr. Flemming favored the post ponement and the printing. Mr. lodd urged the adoption of the amendments and then the post ponement and the printing. Ihe motion to postpone was with drawn, the amendments of the com mittee adopted, and the bill passed its second reading, and was made the special order for Fri da v next at 114 o'clock, and ordered to be printed. Mr. Powell, by leave, introduced a resolution requesting and instruct ing our Representati ve and Senators in Congress to urge the passage of the educational bill now pending in Congress. - By leave, Mr. Cowles introduced a bill to amend sees, 35 and 43, 'chap. 193, laws of 1871-72.

Foreign Notes Conscription for naval service is to be abolished in Spain The Ex-Empress Eugenie held a reception at Chiselhurst soon after Napoleon's funeral. Engineers on the North Spanish Railway refuse to run engines in consequence of the threats of the Carlist rebels. The return of paid clearings at the Clearing House in London, on Fri dav last, shows the aihount to have been 52,250,000, which is the high est sum on record for a single day. General D. Cissey, French Minis ter of War, has despatched an offi cial document to Marshal MacMa hon, prohibiting the circulation of Bonapartist addresses in the barracks of French troops, and urging the severe punishment of persons found distributing such papers. Prince Napoleon returns to Swit zerland. He takes no part in poli tics. He only desires to gain a law suit against the Government of France for his expulsion. He has no pretensions to the throne ; does not fancy the regency, but submits to the government which France ap proves. It is said that Prince Napoleon has stated solemnly that he will abstain from all intrigues, either in his own behalf or for Napoleon IV. When his rights as a French citizen are recognized he will adhere to the Re public. He says he desires only to gain his law suit against the govern ment of France for his expulsion from that country ; that he has no pretensions to the throne, and does not favor a regency ; and that he sub mits to the government which France approves. Saturn's Rings. In a memoir presented to the French Academy of Sciences, M. Hirn endeavors to show that the rings pf Saturn are not solid, continuous bodies, nor yet fluid or liquid. He holds rather that they are simple aggregation of incontinuous matter, its parts being separated from one another by inter vals of considerable, extent, as com pared with their "diameters. M. Hirm claims that this?heory. does not differ essentially fifom that of Laplace. The ringsof Saturn, ac cording to this writer,, are. made up of an" infinite numberyof f distinct eorpnsclbsf "wTng tHeJfarisqrto the refregerationpf the &rigiltat matter, Hencethe olny -difference between the rings of Saturn and the satellites of other planets would consist merely in th e greater i nu m ber or sm aller mass of the bodies which revolve around the former.
