JOKES & PENDI-ETOlf, PvoptW Tknrf clay. April 16. 1874. Consolidation The Stockholders' ; . : lleeting. ; In pursuance of the act of the Gen eral Assembly,' entitled"An act to amencTihe enuter of the North Garo lina5ailros4 Company; and for other purposes therein mentioned," Gover nor Caldwell issued a call for a meet ing of the stockholders of that com pany, to take plase at Salisbury to day, when phe aforesaioact be sub mitterf fpr acejpane or jfyetyioi.-jt This callwas3 made not only in obedi ence to the act, but in response to the prevailing sentiment in thTe Coun try. Action is demanded in tW Mat ter. The Western people are justly and rhrhteouslv clamoring for the , - o a speedy completion of their road. They nee4 jiijiroad facilities. They want to heat the echo of the steam-whistle among ;4 their mountains and) along the smiling valleys that 'make this "Switzerland of America" one of the garden spots of the world. ' The thoughts . of thousands will turn to Salisbury to-day. The pro ceedings of the meeting will be watch ed with prfftyj;! with: ageif interest will the result ot its delibera tions be looked for, all along the line a. of the road from the mountains to the doubtable Maj. is egotistical enough to believe that he is a necessity to the wel fare of North Carolina. He was never more mistaken in his; lifel I3?his opiq- ion of his is but theoutcroppingSj of an overweening"vanity, brought about by his sudden elevation to power. The Conservatives of North Carolina have no confidence in him, and hence the Legislature deemed it best to tie his hands. " The thlrdobjection r'TsTstiiriess wor thy of consideration. ' The act merely plfice men of"! known integrity i to watch over the interests of the State. North Carolina has often enough been robbed by plunderers who parade and prate before the public in the garb of Patriotism. Top nany 9ajfe-gtards 6annot be tliro'wn around the State's interest in her railroads. 'i The StateJ Executive Committee of Conservative party meets in Raleigh to-day. The consultation is one of great importance. EDJTPRIAX OBSERVATIONS. sea. At first, a serious difficulty confront ed this meeting. Did the Governor have a legal right to make the call? The Consolidation Bill, or amended charter directs the Governor to issue the call for a meeting of the stock-, holders ; but the od charter directs that meetings shall be called by the President and Directors. The old eharter is in force until the new one is adopted : and the amendment which confers this power on the Governor i really of no effect until the stock holders have met and adopted the new charter. But this difficulty was evaded by the Directors adopting a resolution directing President Smith to join with the Governor in the call. This he did, and the meeting to-day will be legal. We hope the stockholders will act upon the subject matter before them. Let us have a decision of the great question. Let the Consolidation Act be to-day accepted or rejected. Then the issueSfcan'be: fairly fand squarely brought before the people this sum mer; and legislators can be elected who will pledge themselves to the en actment oKaiaw" that will insure the speedy completion of this grand en terprise, which promises so much good to the State. Much objection is raised to the bill, from various charters., rSo me tbjuk it insufficient to; the iaccomplishnieiit of the purpose iti View ; others regard it as conferring a dangerous power on a few men. Some believe it to be only a project for getting the gauge changed between Greensboro and Charlotte; others are convinced that it wilt prove a fruitless undertaking ; while a great many look upon it as a grand swin dling scheme set on foot by the South ern Security Company to get posses sion of the Railroad interests of North Carolina. However all this may be, whoever may be the originators of the scheme, orj whateyer may be the covert purposes they have in view, the fact is that the consolidation act as it stands to-day, gives fair promise of j proving a success provided that the enterprise does not fall into the hands of sharpers or selfish partisans. The next Legislature could make such amendments to the bill as experience, or further investigations into the sub ject, may prove to be,necessary. We earnestly t hope, therefore, that the stockholders will accept the bill. The most serious opposition to the bill comes from President Smith. From a letter from him, published in the Western Expositor, and repub lished in. tie Qbseryerpi April 12, it ap pears that Major Smith opposes the consolidation , act, because, "in the first place,1 the important power to change the gauge was not given to the company ; in the'iixt place, the act passed by the General "Assembly pro posed to restrict, the , company in the choice of the man they think most capable of managing their affairs ;" and "in the third place, the act de Drives the com nan v of the manage- . - - o 121 ent of their finances and puts it into the hapdifoif gpirsons line perienced in the business, and a ma jority of whom, it is believed, are op- Not one of these'objectiohs ought to ' be considered a moment by the com pany. -! , -; i 1 " v ' - ' . ; i The first of theni. is Ju , Aha : in terest of the iSouthern i Security . ., ::.:.

The Newberne Chamber of Commerce and Consolidation. un luesday evening the 7th inst., pursuant to notice, a special meeting 01 ine unamber ot Commerce was held in the Hall of Trade, to take into consideration the proposed action of the Atlantic and North Carolina Kail road Company, in regard to the accep tance or rejection of the so-called ' Consolidation Act." After consider able discussion, the almost unanimous opinion of the Chamber was that the scheme, if an honest one, was entirely in the interest of the Piedmont Route, while the greatest doubts were enter tained from the well-known character of Messrs. Smith and Humphrey, and others connected with it, whether the whole thins: wa not a deeo laid nlot tpf defraud the State Out of her Ist re maining assets in her railroads - Asheville Expositor. Consolidation Opinion in the West. The bill presented to the North Car olina Road, gives all the power neces sary to build this great thoroughfare, as we believe,rand a stickling; now on small matters will not giv satisfac tion to the people . The men who now prove recreant may expect to meet the uprising indignation of the people of the mountains, scarcely less destructive than the threatened volca nic fires that now seem to be bursting into fury. A Curious Calculation. The aver age'vajue of each immigrant arriving m this country has been frequently estimated by writers on political econ omy, but no two 01 them agree on this question. This value varies from $750, according to the lowest estimate. 1 A -1 enn a1 l. i i 1 . , to ?i,ow 111 me uignesi,; out in eitner case it is evident that in a more re stricted material sense it is cheaper to import our population than . it is to produce it ourselves. Assuming each child of fifteen to have cost $1,000. and that the money thus expended would nave oinerwise been saved, we hnd that a man who has raised a family of five children and remained poor, might nave accumulated a sum sumcient for the wants of old age had he not been subjected to this expense. : m A Pious Editor. The following no tice, written in dead earnest, recently appeared in the Galveston (Texas) Oivittian: "This elfin star (Miss Kingsbury) twinkled in the theatrical firmament last night and had many worshippers. In speaking of Fanchon, which she played, we will omit reference to the whole of the third and the larger por tion of the fourth acts, being at that time engaged at the prayer meeting." A city editor like that is at once an ornament to society and a candidate for high honors in . Church aud State. ' m ' ' A New Party. Judging from a re cent speech of Hon. S. S. Cox, the Sa-. vahnan 4drer&e7ysuspects that Con gressional humorist of meditating the creation - of , a new . political party, which will be a division between the rich and poor. If the division be tween these classes should grow more antagonistic God help the pcor in the nfst instance and the rich in the last estate !

Railroad Co. -uhaxge of Guage. The following is the ..text o an important bill introduced into the Virginia Legislature: and now under consideration : A bill to authorize the Richmond and Danville Railroad Companv to change and regulate the guace of its road : Whereas. It mav be 01 mucn im portance and value to the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company, 'and to a large portion of the people of the State who are provided by said com pany's road with an useful and neces sary means of transportation, that the said company be authorized and al lowed to alter and regulate the guage of its road so it may be thereby the bet ter able to accommodate the business and economize its operations in con ducting the isame ; therefore "1. Be it enacted by tne General Ah semblv of Virginia, That it shall be law ful for the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company to alter, change and regulate the guage of its road at such time and in such manner as the said company mav iudge best for the promotion of its business, and to maintain and operate their line o road on such standard of guage as the said company may at any time deem necessary and proper to secure the most efficient, useful and economica operation ot the same. Ana an7 iav or nrovision of law to the contrary is hereby repealed. "This act shall be in force from its passage." In explanation of the bill, Col. Bu- A. ford said : "This proposition is made to fulfill the nurnoses -which we hoped would have been reached in another' way. The Piedmont road was constructed during the war by the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company, and thi in 1871 acauired by lease the interest of the North Carolina Central roai from Greensboro to Charlotte, a dis tance of ninety-one miles, with a guage differing irom that ot the Richmond and Danville road. My company have made continuous and persistent eliorts to adapt the guage of this ninty-one miles of North Carolina road to that of the Richmond and Danville road beyond Charlotte. In this effort we have been foiled through the instu- mentahty of antagonizing interests, and we now stand arrested by the in junction of the courts. In thepresent condition ot our company it wouldvbe better for us to change the guage of this ninty-one miles than of the one nun dred and ninty from Richmond to Greensboro. Under existing circum- stantes, however, it would be our bet ter policy to conform the guage of our roaairom Kicnmona to ureensuoro: 10 that of the North Crrolina road, inas much as that would involve but one transfer, and that at Charlotte. I am very frank to say that in my opinion the narrow garage, four feet, eight and a half inches, is preferable to the wide guage of five feet, and ought -to prevail throughout, the country. 1 beg to as sure the committee that this applica lion is made simply on the principle which controls the management of well-rekulatecbiroad that of care of i tself.
