DAILY OBSERVER. JOHNSTONE JOHES, , Editor and Proprietor Thursday, January 15, 1S74. The Consolidation Scheme. Col. Thpniao M. Holt, in an article to the Raleigh Sentinel, Btrougly fa vors co nsolidation. He thinks it is the only plan by which the Western North Carolina Kail road qan be saved. to the State, and built through to the Tennessee line: and that if it should be carried out in good faith, as its friVndi intended - it, it will be the means of preventing much loss to the State, and will enhance, the value of her property.: ; He believes further that Gov. Caldwell will ap point honest men to fill the 6ight. directorships; and that all would be well. We venture the assertion that there is not a right-minded man inrN6rth Carolina who would oppose the con solidation scheme, if f.here was an insurance that it would be entrust ed to men who would honestly and faithfully carry out the purposes of the General Assembly. The ques tion is, would this be done ? It is hardly probable that Govern or Caldwell would appoint as direct ors men outside of his own party. And within that p-trty in this State we know but few prominent men we can count them on our fingers' ends whose appointment would be satisfactory to the stockholders. The completion of the Western Road is. f vital importance to the State especially, to the mountain region. It ought to be finished as soon as possible. If the Legislat re will adopt a well guarded scheme for its completion, and Governor Cald well will fill the eight directorships with native sons of North Carolina who have "brains, energy and hon esty," and who would manage the consolidated roads with fidelity to the State and. to the stockholders, then we say on with the project! Thousands upon thousands of North Carolinians would applaud the Gen eral Assembly who devised the tclieme. and the Governor and di rciioio who executed it. Trouble Among Themselves. Republican journals, and notably the Washington Chronicle, have mis givings about the nomination of the old gentleman from Massachusetts. They think him too old for Chief Justice. Besides, the Chronicle re members that this same old gen tleman was President of the Charles ton Convention, was a ni ember of Pierce's Cabinet; that he advocated the repeal of the Missouri compro mise, and actually supported the Dred Scott decision ! What a blun derbuss Graut has fired off into the Radical ranks 1 All these matters the Chronicle well remembers, and more it has not forgotten that this same old gentleman, Caleb Cushing, nominee of Grant for Chief Justice of the "best government the world ever saw" actually concurred in opinion with Chief Justice Taney, that color ed people were not citizens of the United States; and besides that he was a State's, right Democrat of the most ultra school. Above all, the Chronicle canriot and will not let it pass from his memory, that this same old gentleman was an outspoken supporter of the bold declaration made by .Buchanan and his Attorney General Jeremiah Black, "that he failed to find in the Constitution of the United States power to coerce a State." We too remember these scraps of history, and knowing that Mr. Cushing is learned enough, and cer tainly old enough for Chief Justice, we have no particular fault to find with him for entertainiug these opinions. On the contrary, we con sider this record produced against him, evidences of his eminent fit ness. Our venerable friend of the Dan bury Reporter hopes that the Rev. J. R. Scroggs may soon be round, as preaching is of rare, occurrence at i his place. We mention the above in order to t give publicity to the : vi joiico ui me jMywrrv y e aiso learn that the Reporter has cleaned out its ! tobacco factory and warehouse, and j is readyto xeceh-e the leaf at high prices: : ' , lt .... 5 We rather like this union of jour Inalism and tobacco factories.wh en it is dull times-at the sanctum one mny .the universe. . . i f Our State ; Legislation is clogged I with bills in relation to local prohib itory laws." Would it not be wise in u the General Assembly ' to enact a general law,allowing each incorporat- jed town or city to regulate such mat Urs fop Heelft ' ' ' ; . - l .vv , . j t. . .V . ?. ,i'ir-;...' i :: 4' . - v ' ';i..

This is a mistake." Governor Vance is at. home, but ought to; bp in the Senate. The General who made the speech, and showed himself a true sou. of-the Old North State is his brother a chip, of the same block, very like the chip at home, but not tlie same, not "old Zeb." ,,Xhey were both a littlerebellious while theuijpleas lasted--' they are.now reconstructed partly. i The City of Petersburg.

This is a good move, corislcrering the fact thatrthe carpet Imggers .who run the -city .government of Petersburg would st al the horns off a' billy goat, if they got half a chance. We have read the speech of Elliott, member from South Carolina, and have on ly th U to say, if Hoar and the eminent Beast, with Sumner as boss, can get up no Abetter job for exhibition by proxy: the next time this Massachusetts negro; comes to the front, they hacl better retire further to the rear. Elliott has evi dently a good memory. Wouldn't it be wise in tlie Solons of the Old North State now assem bled at Raleigh, to pause a while in the making of laws, and Cuke a les son or two in obedience to the writ ten law? The constitution requires the Legislature to erect one or more orphan asylums. "A word to the wise," &c. NEWS OF THE DAY. Representative Lamar of Mississippi, has recovered. Luther Lee, Jr., has been nominated Collector of Customs for Norfolk and Ports mouth, Va. The suspension of Josiah S.Colgate, of New York, was announced on the stock exchange. Tuesday. Cartagena has been surrendered to the govern tuent troops who Are ii6w occupy ing the city. Mahuel Foster, wh6 fired at ling Victor Emanuel of Italy, in. 1872, has escaped from prison. ...... - L. N. Stillwell, President of the First National Bank of Anderson, Ind., has been arrested for embezzling the funds- of the bank. L. B Kline, Cashier of the same bank, has decamped. Ex-President Andrew Johnson declares himself in full accord with the Grange movement, and says the time has arrived for good men of all parties to associate and bring about such reform as the exigencies of the country require. During the progress of the balloting for United States Senator Monday evening, Governor Kemper was waited upon and in formed that, he could probably get the nomination if he would accept it. He was earnestly solicited to 'accept, but declined. A Boston dispatch dated Tuesday noon says A large fire has been raging for several hours at Nan tick, Mass., in the business portion of the Uwn. Several steamers have been sent from Boston to aid in suppressing the flames. The loss already reaches half a million of dollars. L ater The fire is under control. A fire occurred in a dwelling house in New York on Tuesday, and so rapidly did the flames spread that the building was entirely enveloped in a few moments. The house was burned to the ground, and with it were burned four of the occupant". Other persons are said to have been burned but their bouses have not yet been found. Sickles has reaped a very dubious honor as a diplomat, and is now on his return to the "Bowery boys." Just how he will contrive to keep himself conspicuous hereafter is a problem. He may lecture, or he may edit a country newspaper, but his "best bolt" is to turn fillibustero. The dons would be glad to see him in that role. ,He might find in Cuba the lock to the key he once found in Washington, .however. But Sickles is hardly likely to go another leg on Cuba. He will gravitate into the obscurity from which the war tem porarily rescued Ihim. 0 si Sickles omnia A correspondent as'ks i "Why is it that Congress grants such large pen sions to the . young soldiers of the late war and such small pensions to the old soldiers of the wr of 1812 ?"

The bill to authorize the establish ment of free public, schools in towns and cities of more than two tlwms and inhabitants, taken up on its third reading. Mr. Cunningham moved toamend by striking out one-fourth and in serting one-eighth, referring to the tax levy on real estate. Mr. McCauley offered an amend ment, providing that property own ers only be qualified voters, and on the ballot the voter's name be writ ten with the assessed value thereon, and in determining the result each ticket shall be counted one vote and als one vote for every three hun dred dollars worth of property. Mr. McCauley advocated hia amendme-it as essential to the bill whicht if -passed in its present shape, woirld be the establish went of a dangerous precedent. He replied, at considerable length to the argument advanced by a Senator before the. re cess, that the amendment was un constitutional. He referred to that instrument and read several clauses to sustain his position. Mr. Gudger still thought the bill unconstitutional, and would vote against it. Mr. Worth opposed the bill on ac count of the Peabody clause con tained therein. Mr. Ellis, of Columbu8f said he was a member of the Educational Committee, before whom the bill was carefully considered, and that Committee was unanimously for its passage. The question of its consti tutionality was fully discussed, and he was satisfied that the bill should pass. Mr. Avcra renewed his motnUo lay on the table, and called thyjis and nays. The motion prevailed by a vote of 21 yeas to 15 nays. Before the vote was announced, Mr. Waring changed his vote from J the negative to the alnrmative, which he stated was for the purpose of moving a reconsitreration of the vote. On the announcement of the vote, Mr. Waring made his motion to re consider t he vote t o table, and "post pone further action thereon till Tuesday next; stating fully his posi tion on" the bill; that he was oppos ed to the amendment of Mr.; Mc Cauley, and favored its passage, guarded by Mr. Cunningham 's amendment. , Mr. King moved to table Mr. War ing's motion to reconsider, which, after a skirmishing debate, failed by 21 yeas and 15 nays, and Mr. War ings motion prevailed. At 1 o'clock the bill 'to lay off and establish the new county of Jeffer son .came up as the Special Order for that hour. Idr. Murphy offered an am end mend to strike out the name of Jef ferson and insert in its stead Lilling ton, paying a handsome eulogy to that distinguished North Carolinian f that name. "The amendment was adopted, when Mr. Murphy contin ued Jiis remarks at considerable length in favor of the passage of the bill as just to the large number of respectable citizens who had peti tioned this General Assembly for the new county. Mabson, col., opposed the bill, and presented counter petitions.. which were read by the Clerk. Messrs. Allen, Ellis, of Columbus, and Avera advocated the bill. The previous question1 being call ed the bill passed its second reading by 26 yeas to 6 nays. HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES. At 11 a. m. Ir. Speaker Robinson called the House to order.

Complaint, Cholera, Dysentery, and other afflictions of the system, has, been truly wonderful, and has won fofit'a name among medical preparations that can never he forgotten. Its success in removing pain, as an exter nal remedy, in cases of Burns, Bruises, Sores, Sprains, Cuts, Stings of Insects, and other causes of suffering, has secu'red for it such a host of testimony, as an infallible remedy, that it will be handed down to posterity as- one of the greatest medical dis coveries of the nineteenth century.
