THE GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH

Last week the State Senate adopted

structing the United States Senators
from Pennsylvania to - vote against
any such measure.
It would be well for our General
. t .i u
The voice of the people, through
u JL,m
from every quarter of the" United
States, from every State and county,
in loud protest against this mon
strous scheme of despotism, which
has been projected in administra
tion circles Did the government
have control of the telegraph wires,
the rulers who are in power now
could easily make themselves the
absolute masters of the people. This
attempt to get possession of the
telegraph lines is a step towards ty-
ranny which should be resisted, and
rebuked by every State. The central
government is already strong
enough without the aid of so pow
erful an adjunct as this.
GOLD AND IMMIGRATION.
During the fiscal year ending June
30th, 1872, the gold production
0f
this State amounted to $114,863,21.
The entire amount of North Caro
lina gold deposited for coinage at
the United States Mint and branches
up to June 30th, last year, is $9,865,
252,97. During the same time, coun
ting in the years of the war, Califor
nia produced $642,965,026,09 worth
of - gold; Montana, $30,648,265,24;
Colorado, $20,338,420,96; Idaho, $17,
141,523,84; and Oregon, $11;592,979,
33. This statistical information
we glean from the annual re
port of tire Director of the Mint for
the last fiscal year.
The exhibit shows that our State
ranks sixth among the States of the
Union, as a gold producing country,
And this notwithstanding the inat- manufacture of turpentine, the iram

SUGGESTION TO THE PRESS
OF THE STATE.
An article entitled as above
and
appearinff in the last number of tne
7 ? j
Hillsboro Jfcwrcfer, meets with our
hearty endorsement. We append
the article for the benefit of those
who are interested in the advance
ment of North Carolina's prosperity ;
and in this connection we feel it op
portune to state that the columns
of the Observer are-open to all who
have information relative to our
material resources to communicate
to the public :
"It strikes us that the labor and
talents of the press are directed with
too little variations in profitless di-
rections, and that while pursuing
the phuntom of politics, they are too
much neglectful of objects upon
which the prosperity of the State
depends. We propose to let the fires
of politics go down for a while to let
the bubbling cauldron cool off, and
while not altogether ignoring the
subject, to turn to material and tan
gible interests, and see if it is not
possible to.arouse attention to the
vast stores oi liiaaen ana unaeveiop
ed wealth in which no State in the
Union more fully abounds than
North Carolina. These stores are
diverse ; of one character in one part
of the Stat e, totally differing in an
other. We propose that the local
press should undertake to gather up
information on these subjects, and
lay it before its readers in a clear,
succinct, and intelligent form. All
industries, all occupations, all
sources of wealth would come in for
illustration. In -one section of the
State, the fisheries are the ruling in
terest. Let the local press of that re
gion give as accurate statistical in
formation as can be had, the extent
of the fisheries, the capital invested,
number of hands employed, fcc. Ac.
The press of another section might
furnish information in connection
with naval
stores, the mode and
tlon antl vaiuc from that source,
and all information connected with
lumber, shingles. fcc. Each
paper
could give valuable information re
lative to the agricultural produc
tions, their quantity, quality and va
riety, together with the character of
the soil.. Information could be giv
en of the various manufacturing es
tablishments of which there are
many through the State, and a clear

fabrics would be interesting and very

Inflicting a penalty for such offence.
Referred to Judiciary Committee.
Mr. Love, a resolution in regard to
the sale of books by the Secretary of
State, authorizing the same to sell
various public documents and laws
now in his hands. Urtder a suspen
sion of the rules, was adopted.
Mr. Cowles callednpbill extending
the time for taking out land grants.
Allows two years more time. Passed
second and third readings.
Mr. Trov. undelr suspension of the
rules called up resolution in favor of
of J. McQueen, o Kobeson county;
that the Treasurer be authorized to
pay him the reward offered by. the
State for the killing of Boss Strong.
Mr. J. W. Ellis advocated the pas
sage of the resolution, explaining the
necessity to be that McQueen was
unable to secure the body and thus
comply with the law.
Mr. Merjimbn did not think the
law had been complied with, and any
action now taken would be an appro
priation an 1 not the paying of a re
ward. ,
The resolution passed its several
readings.
Mr. Norwood introduced a memo
rial from the Wilmington Commer
cial Bank, concerning claims against
the State. Referred.
Mr. James T. Morehead, a bill to
amend chapter 283, laws of 1868-'69.
The Special Order, being the con
sideration of the Midland North Caro
lina Railway, which is proposed to
run from Beaufort to Memphis, was
called np.
Mr. Love op'posed the bill, as he
thought there were provisions asked
for therein that were too broad to be
entertained. lie was in favor of rail
roads, he cared not how many there
were in the State;, but ho would not
vote for a bill that had no definite
line.
Mr. Worth favored the granting of
the broad privileges, as the corpora
tors could then be better enabled to
prosecute their intentions.
Mr. Merrimon wanted the road to
pass out of the State at some point
west of Paint Iiock. He thought
there was nothing tangible in the
bill, and he did not favor the Legis
lature giving: corporations the right
to roam at will over the State.
Mr. Gudger had no objection to the
company buuding its road from and
to any point they pleased, provided j
no appropriation from the State was
asked.
Mr. Troy offered an amendment
providing that this act shall not al
low the corporation to interfere, in
its exclusive right for fifty years, with
any authority already vested in a
corporateel railroad company. Adopted.-
Various amendments wrere offered
looking to the location of the road
upon some definite line, creating
much discussion, but could not be
made intelligible without publishing
the bill.
Mr. Dunham said he was a. friend
to internal improvements. He would
yield to no ther Senator in his ad
vocacy of all general improvements
and in the development of the re
sources of the State. But he would
not vote to anv corporate body the
powers asked for in this bill. The
primarr purpose of this incorpora
tion was to make money for the in
corporators any advantage to the
State or the people of the State was
a secondary consideration; The priv
ileges here asked for were unjust to
the btate, and such as should not be
granted to any corporation. He.could
not give the bill his support unless it
was more thoroughly guarded.
Mr. Merrimon endorsed everything
said by Mr. Dunham. He believed
the object of this corporation was to
buy up and obtain control of all oth
er roads in the State. It was a spe
cies of the Credit Mobilier, and "he
did not want to see the roads of the
State trammelled by any corporation
possessing unlimited powers.
Mr. Murphy said he had no confi
dence in the. "success of this enter
prise under the present bill. He naid
he could not see the need of this leg
islation if there was nothing definite
to be claimed by the friends of the
bill. Let a straight-oiit bill, not cov
ered by such an amount of insinua
tivc power be gotten up, to run
through any portion of the State, and
he would heartily support it, He
might be mistaken, and if he could
be convinced that he was, he would
cheerfully support the bill.
Here an alii mated discussion took
place, Mr. Murphy having made
some reference to the friends of the
bill, that gentleman disclaiming any
reflection upon any Senator, but re
ferring to the parties who were push-,
ing the bill. Mr. Morehead, of Rock
ingham, warmly advocated the bill,
as Chairman of the Committee be
ford whom it had been considered,
and did not think any undue influ
ences were actuating the motives of
ine incorporators, nor that there was
any collusion between them and the
Railroad Rings which had so tho
roughly ruined the State as far as her
various lines of public improvements
were concerned.
Pending the discussion of the bill,
the Senate adjourned, the matter be
ing made the special order on Mon
day at 12 m. 1

Quite a large number of citizens
assembled at the Commercial Ex

says the Journal of the 29th,' for the
purpose of furthering the interests of
the Wilmington Ship Canal.
The Wadesboro Argus says that
the kitchen chimney of Mr. James
Threadgill caught on fire last week,
and owing to its discovery by one of
the family, an accident which would
have probably resulted in the loss of
his kitchen and dwelling-house was
prevented.
The resideuce of Mr. W H H Bag
well, at Riddle's Mills, near Enfield,
was burned through the carelessness
of a servant girl Wednesday night.
She was. terribly burned, probably
beyond recovery, and the family
made a narrow escape. House ,vaf
ueed at $1,000, and there was no in
surance. The Statesville Intelligencer says :
Last week Frank Turner, col., while
in the employ of Mr. T M Stikeleath
er, became sick, and Mr. Stikeleather
took him upon a horse behind him
and started to the negro's home.
He had gone but a short distance,
before the negro died while sitting
on the horse. Mr. S. got a physician
to examine him, who decided that
death was caused by "infiamation of
the brain."
The Salem Press says : We are pain
ed to learn that Miss Annie, daugh
ter of Mr. Benjamin Bynum, residing
near Germanton, Stokes county, died
suddenly from heart disease, on Snn
day morning last. She was alone in
a room, seated at the fire-place, read
ing, when, it is supposed she was
suddely stricken and fed forward
into the fire, where she was found
dead and badly burnt.
We learn, says the Salem Press,
th.'.t about the 10th inst., old Uncle
Harry, the. ferryman at Hall's Ferry,
on the Yadkin River, while sitting
near the fire, was paralized in his left
side, fell into the fire, and before he
could be extricated by an old negro
woman, the only person present, was
so badly burnt that his recovery is
beyond hope. Mr. C A Hall, the
present owner of that ferry, proper
ly cared for the old man, and noth
ing was left undone to alleviate his
sufferings.
i ne ixaieign iews says : it is ru
mored that his honor Judge Tour-
gee, has issued bench warrants for
the arrest of a number of prominent
citizens of Caswell county, on suspi
cion of being connected with the Ste
vens murder. Of course the usual
bugaboo story of the manner of his
death, accounting for the absence of
blood in the room, how the first few
drops of blood got on the window sill,
fec, &c, is all told. We have no
doubt but that arrests will be made,
but that they will show that resect
able and prominent white citizens of
the county were engaged in it we do
not Deneve.
The Salisbury Watchman says : "A
few days since a young man brought
to town a load of wood which he
sold. After throwing it off, he inqui
red of the purchaser what he would
give to have the load chopped up.
The inquirer was politely answered,
and the young man turned his hor
ses out of the street, pulled off hia
coat, and went to cutting with a vim.
Very soon the wood was cut up and
the young man on his .way home,
not having been in town an hour and
a hah."

The Prohibitory lleasnrcs Against
German Emigration.
The German Government,it would
seem, is coming to a realizing sense
ot tne nnpossiDjuiiy oi Keeping
pie from emigrating by prohibitory
measures. In the House of Depu
ties, on Friday last; the :Minister of
the Interior: squarely admitted as
much, and proceeded- to say that
what was wanted was ' enlightened
and judicious legislation, which
would make those who now thought
of emigrating appreciate the value of
their own country above all others.
The government was aim ingto check
emigration by elevating and improv
ing the condition of - the people ;, at
home. This sounds very pretty, says
th e BaUim'0re''5Sm,i and is i exactly
what is wanted i but as long as j that
inexorable militaryservice of -Ger-m
any prevails the emigration will go
on. If there is to be no modification
of that tyranical system, all the oth
er "enlightened and Judicious legis-
lation" mat can ue inouent oi , wm
go for nought. . It is the evil which
nothing ' else ; can ; counteract not
even the glory of conqueringiFiance.
Glory is.not the pabulum' after all,
on which the - substantial German
prefers to feed. The "compulsory
education" whicb-makeajiim, nofen

thinsr "everywhere, or what it would
ceme to m the end.
