CHAS. B. JOSES, BJiuw aud Proprietor "Fre Iron the doting txruptetithat fetic oiu -free-torn reaiwo." ' WEDNESDAY, JAHTJABY8,. 1870. THE LEGISLATURE. The Legislature of -North -Carolina m ?ets at v the " Capital " tc-dayr3 Under tie amended constitution the session of this body is limited to sixty days, so that it must adjourn by the 8th of Mtrch or thereafter the members must piy their own expenses unless the Governor sees fit to convene the body in extra session immediately upon the adjournment of the. regular sixty day session. During the brief time alloted to them for the regular work of the session, the. members of the Legislature will find many important subjects brought be fore them for action. Eight Sundays will intervene between to-day and the 8th of March ; at least eight days must be consumed between the organization, the senatorial election and the biennial right over the public printing; so that there will be left but forty-four days in which to perfect all the local and general legislation which the people may require, individuals seek, or the members themselves demand. The members must see, even at the threshold of the session, that it will be necessary for them to go at their work with a will and to lose as little time as possi ble. They will be asked to extend the time of manv sheriffs for settlement with the State treasurer ; they will be asked to enact measures to prevent the felling of trees in certain streams: to pass bills prohibiting the sale of spirits within certain distances of certain churches, and much more to the same purpose, of purely local legislation. In regard to the first proposition above mentioned, it would be well enough for the Legislature to lay down at the start the general rule of refusing to grant an extension to any sheriff; as to the other measures it is suggested that all of this class of work belongs in the committee rooms; the committees should be instructed to make omnibus bills of all those measures of a similar character which they approve, and report against the remainder as a whole. This would effect a great economy of time, and much time will be needed for a full and free discussion of such important measures as the protection of sheep husbandry by the levying of a tax upon dogs; a stock or fence law ; the compromise, commuta t ion and settlement of the State debt ; the school law and measures to n.ake it more effective; the Moffett liquor register; the salaries of public-officials; our charitable institutions and works of internal improvement, not to speak of the revenue bill and a host of other measures which will come uj for c( n sideratkm and uion which action will le imperatively demanded. It is not our puqose at this time to discuss the merits of the different measures which we have mentioned above in this general way. Upon all or nearly all of them The Observe!: has already expressed itself quite freely and unmistakably, as indeed it does upon all questions of living imbalance to the people. Having done so once we do not proiose now to urge our views upon these several questions on the members of the General Assembly, but only -to remind them that they will have no time to fool away ; hardly a member but has gone to Raleigh with his pockets full of bills, and his head yet fuller of those-1 of which he has not yet made drafts. In a little time, unless business is well kept up with, the calendars and the committees' tables will be filled with unfinished business and the sixty days will have expired while the members are yet preparing to settle down to work. A great many of the members of the General Assembly have already gone on to Raleigh, and it is not to le doubted that there will be a quorum present in both houses on this the open ing day. The Senate will be easy of organization, and the organization of the House will doubtless be completed by the end of the second day at furthest By this time also the ap pointments of the committees will have been made, so that we may expeet that by the end of the second day at furthest the preliminaries of legislation, which is to say the intro duction and reference of bills, will have been begun. Much is expected of this General Assembly. It is, too, composed of some excellent talent; of men experienced in business and in matters of legisla tion; it is above the average of our legislative bodies, and while it may not meet the public expectations, (ho Legis lature or Congress ever did, for the reason that the public always expects too much) it will, we venture to hope, perfect much advantageous legislation and leave a good name behind it. THE SWEPSOS TRIAL. The case of the State against Geo. W. Swepson, based on a bill of indictment found in the criminal court of Wake last t .month, charging the defendant with having obtained several millions of special tax bonds , of the State, under false pretences, and making away with the proceeds, has . been set for trial in the Superior Court of that county to day. It promises to oe the most im portant' and interesting trial, of the kind ever had in the State. A large number of witnesses nave been sum moned from all parts of the State by both sides, and the developments will no doubt be astounding, and We shall, perhaps, alt Jast get at the., true inward , nana nf 'tile North Carolina bond transactions of .18C8-'69. The Obsek VER will keep posted with the progress of the case. . . -, .':; With Congress and 1 the Legislature both in session,- there will be. no lack of interesting matter for;$he general read er, and we merely remark in a general way that while any time is a good time with the man who wants to be posiea to subscribe for The Observer, there never was a better time than right now. Lest there should by some means be some misunderstanding as to the date we repeat that the convention of North em men will meet at the opera house in this city at 1.2 o'clock m, on Wednes day, the 15th inst ; " Associate Justice Hunt, of the United, States Supreme Court, was stricken with paralysis, Monday, and the stroke wil it is supposed, prove fatal. The United..- States Supreme Court Monday pronounced unconstitutional the legislation which declared legal the practice of polygamy in Utah. FORTY-FIFTH CONGRESS. THE FIRST DAT AFTER THE RECESS. The Bills Introduced Edmunds Want ed the Old Amendments Declared Constitutional Voorhees At tacks Sherman Acklen's Personal Privilege Coin Certificates and the Tobac co Tax. Washington, Jan. 7. Senate. A large number of petitions were present ed during the morning hour, among them many from women in various parts of the country asking Congress to enact such legislation as will make ef fective the anti-polygamy law of 1862; also from various citizens protesting against the passage of the pending bill to revise, amend and consolidate the laws relating to patents, and against the transfer of the Indian bureau to the AVar Department, all of which was re ferred to appropriate committees. Bills were introduced as follows: By Hamlin, of Maine: For the more effi cient collection of the postal revenues ; referred to the committee on postoffices and Dost-roads. By Booth, of California: For the in terchange of subsidiary silver coin and United States notes; to the com mittee on finance. By McDonald, of Indiana: To au thorize the taxation of outstanding legal tender notes of the United States; to the committee on the judiciary. Edmunds, of Vermont, said m this glad morning of the new year, when there was peace and joy and hope every where, he thought it best to offer a resolution tending to cement more per fectly the good will and harmony now existing all over the country. He there fore submitted a resolution declaring that in the judgment of the Senate the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifthteenth amendments to the constitution of the United States have been legally ratified and are as valid as other parts of the constitution; that it is the right and duty of Congress to enforce such amendments by appropriate legislation, and the duty of the executive depart ment of the government faithfully and with diligence to impartially execute such laws; that it is the duty of Con gress to appropriate money to that end, and instructing the judiciary commit tee to rejort a bill for the protection of the rights of citizens and the punish ment of infractions thereof. The reso lution was laid on the table at the re quest of Edmunds, to 1 called up here after. Voorhees of Indiana, during the morning hour, called up the resolution submitted by him early in the session instructing the judiciary committee to inquire into the expediency of making the trade d jllar a lejal tender, and pro viding for its re-couiage into the stand ard silver dollar-. lie addressed the Senate at length in favor of the resolu tion, del o.nii in the trade doll; r as fraudulent money which, having fidleu in its mission abroad, had returned home to cheat the honest people of this country. The amount of such dollars coined'was S35,im,(ioo larger than the people h:ul any idea of. He reviewed j the coLrse of "Secretary Sherman and said there was a deej-seated hostility to silver money of every kind on his part Silver, as money, was not receiving fair play at the hands of the present admin istration and those who draw their in spiration from it. He referred to the silver bill passtd at the hist session and said the execution of this popular law was in t'.ie hands of its most conspicu ous and pronounced enemy. He re fern d to the action of the New York and Boston banks in November last in regard to sieeie resumption and the silver dollar, and denounced it as re bellion against the lawfully constitu ted authorities of the government. He predicted the final triumph ot the si!ver dollar and said the people insisted that specie resumption should not rest on gold alone but it should be as strong as an unlimited coinage of silver, as well as gold, could make it. At the conclusion of Voorhees' re marks the resolution was laid over without action being taken thereon. Beck, of Kentucky, submitted the fol lowing: "Revolted, That the communication from the Secretary of the Treasury, in answer to the resolution of the Senate passed December 3d, 1878, relative to the amount of silver coin received in payment of customs due during the current fiscal year, and the disposition which has been made of it, be referred to the committee on finance, and said committee be authorized and directed to make such investigation as to it may oe aeemeu necessary to ascertain whether the laws relative to the pay ment of customs dues and the payment of interest on the public debt with coin received therelrora have been and are being complied with, and report by bill or otherwise. Laid over, upon objection of Ed munds. The Senate, at the expiration of the morning hour, resumed the considera tion of the bill to revise, consolidate and amend the laws relating to patents, and Christiancy spoke in favor of the bill. Among the nominations sent to the Senate to-day by the President were: James B. Howell, of Iowa, Orance Ferris, of New York, and A. O. Aldison, of Wisconsin, as Southern claims com missioners ; James Longstreet, post master at Gainesville, Ga. At 3 o'clock a brief executive session was held. Adiourned. House. Acklen, of Louisiana, made a personal explanation in' regard to the scandal attaching to his name for the alleged seduction of a young lady in Louisiana, and presented a resolution for the appointment of a committee of three members to inquire into and re port upon the charges made against him. The resolution was defeated on the ground that it did not embrace the Question of privilege. A resolution was adopted directing the judiciary committee to investigate the charges against Henry W.Uiodgett, judge for the northern district of Illi nois. The Geneva awards bill was con sidered and laid over till to-morrow. Several bills . were introduced, after which the deaths of Eeprtsentatives Douglas and Williams were announced and the House adjourned. committee business. ; The House wavs and means commit tee met to-day but transacted no busi ness other than to decide tna6 parties desiring to be heard with regard to the tax on sugar be given the opportunity of commencins to-morrow.

The First Day of Their Sessions Ma terial for the Outrage Mills. New Orleans, La., Jan. 7. The Tel ler sub-committee met this morning in Surveyor Wells' private ottice at the custom house, all the members present Senator Garland asked if there would be any special programme published. The chairman announced that no pro gramme had been arranged but that when a neighborhood was reached it would be gone through with. Garland then suggested that a neighborhood be designated so that the witnesses might be notified. The chairman mentioned that charges of fraud in Nochitokes, Tensas . and Caddo parishes would be first considered. Senator Cameron said charges came from every part of the State and it might be impossible to de fine any exact part. Senator Bailey thought that as near as possible some definite plan of proceedings should be adopted, so that charges could be met by evidence on the other side. The chairman declared that he would allow all necessary time for the production of such evidence. J. Ernest Breda testified that he is a native of Natchitohes ; has been a Re publican since 1871 ; did not take part in last campaign because he was driven from his home in September on account of his political principles, said the ne groes were ground down and treated with cruelty. He detailed assaults made upon himself and his brother who were endeavoring to address a Republi can meeting in September last; said they were forced to flee to the woods for safety and leave his home to escape threatened assault upon them. Dr. A. P. Breda also testified, corroborating the first witness. WEATHER AOTES. Southern Rivers Frozen Up Skating and Ice Harvesting in Atlanta. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 7.

At VV arrington, Lancashire, a strike las begun in the wire trade which may issume serious proportions throughout tne country it some- agreement be tween the employers and workmen is not come to. The masters contend that if a reduction of wages is not agreed to the works must be closed, as German wire can be obtained cheaper than the English manufacturers can make it. The men contend that the reduction demanded is excessive. Sherman Lays the (Jood Effects of Re sumption Before the Cabinet. Washington, Jan. 7 The cabinet session to-day was devoted principally to discussion of the favorable financial situation. Sherman called attention to the fact that the treasury now holds large amounts of gold, silver and green backs; much more than there is any use for at present, lieterence was also made to the reports from all parts of the country that resumption had given confidence to business and that both at home and abroad business seems to be stimulated and is being conducted with renewed activity. The Proposed HarTird Oxford Boat Race Off. Boston, January 7. The Harvard boat club is in receipt of a letter from the Oxford University club announcing its inability to row Harvard as late as August first. As Harvard will not row before that date there will probably be no English race this year, and therefore probably no race with Cornell. The meeting of the boat club is to be held n'ixt week and the matter will then be definitely settled. Since the. receipt of the uxiords letter several or the old Harvard 8 have determined to with draw and a new crew will train for next summer's race with Yale.

Every Moment's Wonderful Work. Every moment that we live the work of destruc tion never ceases among what Is scientifically call ed 'the tissues" of which our bodies are composed. Every moment, It we are in health, the work of re pairing this destructive process goes on with equal pace. When the vital force is great, more vigor Is given to the blood and muscular flore than the or dinary wear and tear of existence uses up. When the vital force lails from any cause, there ensues a wasting away, which if not arrested, ends in decay and death. Rhysicians ail declare ttfat when these symptoms of decline set in. the only certain reme dy is Cod Liver Oil Bat their patients, with al most equal unanimity, say that Cod Liver Oil Is "so nasty" they cannot take it. The only resource left is to obtain Scott's Emulsion of the Oil with the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda. This is alto gether free Irom disagreeable taste and odor, and ls an unequalled tonic, for the nerves and brain. .Not Medicine but Food. ' The fall and early winter season is the harvest time of hacking coughs and debilitating forms of Catarrh, just as the later spring is the seed Ume of malarial fevers. To know a certain cure of the one, and a preventive of the other, is to have with in our reach th most inestimable blessing of the period. We do know of them, for these really mar velous properties are combined in Seott'r Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oii with the Hypophospites of Lime and Soda. There is no form of physical waste and prostrat ed vitality, that a bountiful use of the Emulsion, will not change, to glowing health and full life and vigor, and then it is nol a disagreeable medicine, but the most delightful kind of tood.

McLANE'S CELEBRATED AMERICAN WORM SPECIFIC - OR VERMIFUGE SYMPTOMS OF WORMS. The countenance is pale and leaden colored, with occasional hushes, or a circumscribed ppot on one ' r both cheeks; the eyes become dull; the pu pils dilate; an azure semicircle runs along the lower eye-lid; the nose ls irritated, swells, and sometimes bleeds: a swelling of the upper lip; oc casional headache, with humming or throbbing of the ears; an unusual secretion of saliva; slimy or furred tongue; breath very foul, particularly in the morning; appetite variable, sometimes voracious, with a knawing sensation of the stomach, at others, entirely gone; fleeting pains in the stomach; occa sional nausea and vomiting; vio'ent pains through out the abdomen; bowels irregular, at times cos tive; stools slimy; not unfrequently tinged with blood;belly swollen and hard; urine turbid ; respira tion occasionally difficult, and accompanied by hiccough; cough sometimes dry and convulsive; uneasy and disturbed sleep, with grinding of the teeth; temper variable, but generally irritable, &c. Whenever the above symptoms are found to exist, DR. C. McLANE'S VERMIFUGE will certainly effect a cure. IT DOES NOT CONTAIN MERCURY In any form; It is an Innocent preparation, not capable of doing the slightest injury to the most tender infant. The genuine Dr. McLane's Vermifuge bears the signatures of C. McLane and Flekins Bros. on the wrapper. DR. C. McLANE'S LIVER PILLS are not recommended as a remedy "for all the ills that neeh is heir to," but in affections of the liver, and hi all bilious complaints, dyspepsia and sick headache, or diseases of that character, they stand without a rival. AGUE AND FEVER. No better cathartic can be used preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. As a simple purgative they are unequaled. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated. Each box has a red wax seal on the lid with the Impression Dr. McLane's Liver Pills. Each wraDDer baars the signatures ore. McLavk "and Fleming Bros. insist upon having the genuine Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, prepared by Fleming Bros., of Pitts burgh. Pa., the market being full of imitations of the name McLane, spelled differently but same pronunciation. dec29 (groceries. 0 0 T T O N -ORDERS AND CONSIGNMENTS SOLICITED BT THOMAS H.
