SUPERIOR COURT. luteres;iuff and important Rrpait cf the Grand Jury. The grand jury, before adjournment, submitted the following report to Bis Honor Judee Kerr, signed by E H Walker, foreman "Your grand jury would respectfully report that they have performed the duties assigned to them to the best of their abilities, and in accordance with the oath administered to us, 'without fear, favor, or affection.' We have re turned a number of bills as true, and made a few presentments. Maj Mont gomery, our worthy and indefatigable solicitor, left U3 little to do in this lat ter respect, as he bad sent us bills of indictment in very neail all the cases within our knowledge "It seems, that notwithstanding the superior iacuiues lor hastening tne punishment of crime, furnished by the number of courts held in our county, it does not appear to be diminishing; on the contrary.it is, in our judgment, increasing in its minor phases : such as petty larceny, violating the sanctity of the Sabbath, selling ardent spirits with out license, and to minors. &c; and here let us remark that there is great difficulty in dealing with these latter cases, for the want, in most of them, of.reliable evidence. "We call the attention of the proper authorities to the fact that there is no railing to the bridge across Grimes' creek, at Wm Stewart's mill, near the Rozzell's Ferry road. "We further call your attention to the fact that the two railroads, whose depots are adjacent to Trade street, viz : the AirLii;e and North Caroiina Railroads, cause great inconvenience, and positive discomfort to persons passing to and fro between the city and country, by obstructing the street ; allowing their trains to remain, direct ly across the streets for five minutes and sometimes longer, endangering the lives and limbs of some whose horses may not be tractable, while waiting for the passage of these trains. There is another feature in connection with the railroads which is becoming a nuisance to the moral and religious portion of the community : it is the loading and shifting of trains on the Sabbath. "In regard to the public buildings, we would report that we did not yisit the poor house, not deeming it nr. ces sary, having learned from general re port that it was under good manage ment, and not having heard any com plaint whatever as to the treatment of the paupers The jail we find to be secure, the prisoners, by their own testimony, well treated, fed on an abundant supply of wholesome food, and kept comfurta bly warm. The court house and pub- lie offices are in good repair. Public roads are mostly in good condition." THE COLORED METHODIsTS. Proceeding of the A. M. E Zion Con ferenoe. The Conference resumed its session yesterday morning at 11 o'clock A B Smyer havi g been appointed to conduct the thanksgiy ing servicef.an nounced an appropriate hymn whiuh was sung, and also read the one hun dred and seventh Psalm. Rev J W L Council addressed the Throne of Grace. The elder announced for his text the 12th. 13th and 14tb verses ot the one hundred and sixth Psalm. The subject was handled with considerable abi tty At the conclusion of the sermon,he laid the condition of the church at Monroe before the Conference, and appealed to the members for as large a contribu tion as possible to assist that congre- getion in completing their house of worship. A liberal collection was taken up. The names of the brethren contributing to that church will appear in the next issue of the Star of Zion. J A Tyler, the editor of the Star, laid before the Conference the condition and prospects of the paper. He re ported the Star free of debt from its very commencement up to the present. At the present rate of expenses he felt sure this episcopal district was fully able to own the paper, office and press, and publish the paper. He urged up on each member the duty of subscrib ing to the paper, and there was mani fested a general willingness to support it, Brother H W Richardson, (stock holder,) of Wadesboro, paid over a balance due on his stock, $6, and sub scriptions to the amount of $8.35 were received. The brethren also generally promised their subscriptions and post office address, before final adjourn ment. The various committees were ordered to meet at 3 o'clock p. m., and have all reports ready by Friday morning.

The nomination of Harian for the Supreme Court was confirmed, but sub sequently a motion to reconsider was entered, which now pends. There is good authority for saying that Harlan will be confirmed. The Virginia Midland and Kernp saw routes are open and trains are rul ing as before the freshet. Senor Samacoz, agent of the MexU can government, arrived to day. He reprpsents the Diaz 2"vernment as anxious to maintain friendly relatione, and instances the sending of regular troops to the Rio Grande to take the place of the locil forcre, with the in tention of co operating with the United States soldiers in restoring order on the border.

Mediation and the Bonapartists An Interview Between the President and JH Grevy. Paris, November 29. a letter from M Raoul Duval, Bonapartist, is publish ed, expressing the conviction that true conservatives should submit to nation al will, and recommending such sub mission to President MacMahon. M Duval strongly condemns the poli cy of the Duke De Broglie, and the views which resulted in the over throw of Thiers' government on the 21st of May, 1873. M Jules Grevy had an interview with President MacMahon to-day. The Pre sident assured him that parliament was in no danger. Neither its existence nor functions as established by the con stitution would be threatened. The apprehensions of a covp d'etat were baseless, and ha repelled all allusions to such a solution. The President listened to M Grevy's arguments for reverting to a parlia mentary regime, but although he did not pronounce for any other solution, he seemed not to accept M Grevy's proposals, and evinced towards the Chamber sentiments of resistance rath er than conciliation. ?

It is persistently rep -rted that Warsaw and other parts of Pi land are about to be declared in a state of siege. The Telegraph has information that Kara fell through the treachery of a Pasha, who admitted the Russians to the cotumandiDg fort and was paid for it. A Revolutionary Relic Maj Ed. Goblet, a grandson of the distinguished North Carolinian for whom Buncombe county is named, has shown us the original of a letter written by Col Ed ward Buncon.be to Gen Washington in 1777, just after he was captured at the battle of German town, and just be fore his death from wounds received in that battle. Edward Buncombe was colonel of the 5th regiment, North Carolina line, in the Continental army ; was severely woundrd at the battle of Germantown (near Pmladebia) on the morning of October 4, 1777; wns taken prisoner by the British, and died from the effects of his wounds soon after. It was du ring those few weeks while a prisoner that this letter was written, and after the war Gen Washington delivered it in person to Col Buncombe's daughter EHzabeth, afterwards wife of John Goe let. Buncombe county, North Caro lina, was named in grateful remem brance of her gallant son. Mobile (Ala) Register. Butler in the Senate. During the discussion the straight military figure of M C Butler, tightly buttoned in a half d 1 e?s coat, was seen calmly walking to and fr 1 in the rear of the Democratic seats. He has a clearcut, deadly, quiet face. His cold gray eye, straight nose, thin lips, and prominent chin mark a man cf unusual force of character. He st in the rear of the Democrats to-day like a general watching a battle under his own command. Patterson fawned before him, and during the debate Con over snuggled down by the side of this cool, collected, grave looking man, as if he needed further reassurances from the wrath of his Republican col leagues. Chicago Times. A Louisville correspondent says it is reporied that Wade Hampton is soon to marry a beautiful, wealthy widow, prominent as one of the leaders of Lou isville society. She has two beautiful daughters, the elder of whom, lovely as a dream, made her debut last win ter, and is n.ow Louisville's bright par ticular belle. The mother is almost as yout hful in appearance as the daugh ter; tall a- d elegant in figure, and ex quisitely graceful, brown-eyed, with a mass of sunny, brown hair, she would make a bride of whom even Wade Hampton might be proud. She and the ltoy. Governor met at the Lee Me morial ball, at the White Sulphur, last summer. ' Death of an Aged Citizen.
