He has an iron constitution, and it is now talieved th'at a ichange for the bet-j ter took place in his condition during yes terday afternoon and last night. While these may be only temporary, it is now believed that it is possible more, than l.robable that he may yet recover, toj add yet more honor 'to! his name and service to his native State. IUlLRO'1 BUILDI-tO, POPUUTIOS, U. The Wilmington Star and a corres pondent of that journalargue strongly in behalf of a proposed railroad from Wilmington via Fayetteville, Greens boro, Mt Airy and Wilkesboro to Ore Knob, Ashe county. It is claimed that the road would not only furnish an put let to the vast region of country which it would tap, but would at the same time empty a large commerce into the lap of "our city by the sea." The cor respondent speaks thus glowingly of the project: , - , Jf this road is ever built it .w.illdo i more for the State, and all the towns along the line ot the road, and tor those at either end, than any and all of your roads have yet done. I cannot be mis taken in this result. 1 have frequently passed over every foot of the line, or nearly so, and I know of what I speak. v irrmri- siihafeinriaJi narrow srauire road uenetratinff this piedmont country, will4 wake to life more energy than any road J ever built of the same length, and be the medium over or throgh which foore freight will be sent toujour cjtytjian the most sanguine of your people nave vet imagined. All the prodact of 'this large section of country, or nearly all, must seek a Southern market. Railroads are a great convenience to any people, undoubtedly, but they don't pay.r :The line proposed would: doubt less serve the people along it and in the country touched a most excellent pur pose, and.. w,puld redound to ,the great advantage of Wllmingjton but if it is ever bunt the people' wii'o build it must make' np' their rnifids that whatmbnex they contribute toward' it is a eaiitribun tion indeed-tliat they will never receive any direct return no return at all; i 4n' ' .fact.:TaLcept in the pro bable increase- in the value not pro perty, the increased facilities' for. ship ment of their products and the Advan tages and conveniences which tljeywill naturally enjoy from communication with the outside world. If this is re turn sufficient, well and good. But when in the end their railroad stock depreci ates and their railroad goes to sale, they imt$t"ri6t abuse the land-Sharks" who buy it up and call them "bloated bond holders who haye no interest in our people except to gobble up property which does not belong to them." But for these same corporations many rail roads which are to-day in operstf'ion in the country would be utterly at stand still and the road-beds used only'atf cow paths. " We are certainly no enemy of rail roads, or of those who build or operate them, but the truth; about the business is that we have all the railroads now the country that is to say this part of it can support. "What we need tirst is a thrifty population, capable of produc ing'ettough to keep a railrdaft enterprise alive! i A railroad must hauTf reight and a grdat deal of it in orde to be self sustaining. The freight must be pro duced before it can be hauled, and we may talk never so much:hbout this sec tion and ''that section -being the finest country iii the world, but" it isn't worth a copper until it is made to bring forth that which represents money. What ever its capabilities may be in this direction there must be somebody to "tickle it$ bosom with ft rake" before it will "bring forth plenteous harvests." The first thing is to get among us those who are willing to undertake the tick ling and after the abundant harvests is the time;to invoke the uid which only the railroad can furnish. This question of railroad building is a very practical question indeed, and those who contemplate engaging in sucfl enterprises should, before, undertaking it, ask themselves seriously what they will do with a railroad afte'r they get jf, There has lately been issued " an a& dresp to the people of Virgiqiaj " on the public debt question, which fas signedr among others, by a number of clergy men. Bishop Keane, of the Catholic Church, was solicited to sign the docu ment but refused to have anything to do Jjiwith it. The Richmond Whig iis sfrong Vf, in its denunciation of this mie of politics and religion, and criticises quite severely that portion of the clergy which signed the address. It has been said that there is an or 4izelfc6ripffacy5bri foot in the coun try among the communists, or whatev eryou may call them, to burn all the watering places. The fires of such de structiveness at Atlantic City and Cape v Myar represented, as a .result.o.t the scheme, and the recent attempt to fire Newport is cited as another evidence xf the fact that the conspiracy is gen- tr.il. ,4, . ji-... 1 1 1 Bob Ingersoll, having made an at tack on the great Jewish law-giver in kMectufe entitled "Some Mistakes of Mne,w a Jewish rabbi in Atlanta nas taken 11D tlifl d4 nd is conducting ihe Moses. at ;sui- tnt 0nHryv--hinff9himsi'ttott8h the .KillinuEDOETiiaK, Ued.

In his judgment there could be, constitution ally; no --legislation upon ttntquesuon. There ought not to be aiiyiiiltevposwion by Congress between the "States and the constitution in regard to choosing elec tors. After considerable discussion the bill passed by a vote of 33 to 2d The bill as passed provides -that the electors of President and Vice-President shall be appointed in each State on the first Tuesday in October in every fourth yeart and on the same day in October when"-' ever there shall be a vacancy in both of the offices of President and Vice-President.
