The report claims that trie bill is the out growth of the sentiment of merchants in our business centres, and adds: The facility for fraud in obtaining advances or credit by bills of exchange, or otherwise, on bills of lading, ware house receiptsand kindred instruments, is now so great as to require a remedy. Chambers. of commerce and boards of trade in various States have taken ac tion recommending'-the passage of such a law as proposed in ' this bill, and the State of Maryland in 1870 passed a very similar act intended to confer the same lei)eft!j within its jurisdiction. In Xew ofk the "factors' act," passed in 1830 and amended in 18."8 and 1800, at tempted the same thing, but its opera tion is partial and far from satisfactory.

The report also cites a number of cases whefe merchants have incurred great loss and hardships in consequence of the absence of such a law. The Last Horns ov Congress. The associate! press deserves to be com plimented upon its reports of the clos lng proceeding of-the forty-fifth Con greap. AncT rtbt only were the report of the actual proceedings and scenes in the two houses prepared with marked intelligence, and giyen out in such man ner as to be entirely intelligible, but these were supplemented by a valuable and interesting record of all the import ant bills which passed, as well as men tion of those upon which action was bad, but not final action. We extend congratulations to the .issociatioii's Washington reporter, upon the com plete and satisfactory character of his work under the interesting but trying circumstances which surrounded him. The Lien Law. We are glad to see that the Legislature has killed the proposition to wvenact the agricultural lien law. The system of farmers giv ing iftortgagei (J liens upon their crops, sometimes before they are put into the ground, is all wrongi but that is the bus iness of nobody except the farmer and his creditor, and to undertake to dictate to either 'in the management of his pri vate ' business-Hto tell him that he shall t this or shall not do that-is alto gether wrong and unrepublican, and ought not to be thonght f by a Gene ral Assemblv. Butler's JIeport. Butler's report as a Potter committeeman doubtless makes interestingTeading. His politi cal reverse last fall has made him no less promiscuous in his style than he has been all the while, but on the other hand his bricks fly around as indiscrim inately, as ever He deals with people and things, ;iKt neglecting the , acting diJb,ftt'liia' customary free and -easy -stylet '-'and flings hi .little axe around1 with' the; breezy vigor of the fiimtlci woodsman. - Butler n4ad a very bad, lot hutrjie; is-frank and out spoken above the average of his party, and as compared with Edmunds tajd Conger, gentleman and a philanthrop ist. ; The General AssEMBLT.-The ques tion now is, will the General Assembly continue to sit after Saturday next, at tbe expense of its individual members, or will it adjourn" on the day provided by law ? : If it adjourns, a great ddal of public business will necessarily go over unfinished; if it aits, it will, do so, with out per diem. Will it accept the former alternative and depend upon the Gov ernor to call an extra session as the President has doie of Congress? These are living questions.

" The House refused to recede and the bill hung up. The new Congress the one.whioh begins its first setting next "Tuesday Week is a Democratic botrTlflbotrr brcedul pmVt the bill through, menfleft afrt was by the House. " ' ' '-' We are glad that the Democrats of the forty-fifth Congress stood up-as they did for the rights of the people of the South in this matter. Justice in this regard has been already too long delayed. The effect and object of the test oath is to deprive a majority of the citizens of the South of the right to serve on juries in the Federal Courts for the trial of causes in which citizens of the South are parties. It is the re mains of the iron-clad oath under which the people of the conquered States iere made the victims of the carpet-baggers and freedmen until ruin and despair had so exhausted the wealth and produc tion of the cotintry that the spoilers could find little more than enough to ex cite their greed. The mountains of debt under which the State and local gov ernments of the South are now labor ing were mainly piled up by disfran chisement in this and other ways of the best people of the reconstruced States, and it is pleasant to realize that they are early to be as free once more as are their late slaves. Carrying Deadly Weapons. The bill prohibiting the carrying of conceal ed deadly .weapons in North Carolina has passed both branches of the Gene ral Assembly and will be a law after the 1st of July next. Honest and law abiding rnen will respect the statute, as they are in duty bound, and will be left at the mercy of highwaymen and des peradoes, who will carry their weapons as usual, and be emboldened to prose cute their operations by the knowledge that their intended victims are not pro tected against them. STATE SEWS. There were eight February fires in Wilmington. The Alamance Gleaner is five years old. Its birthday accuxredJliis week The -health of Prof. Clias. PhUlip,.of the University is improving. ; - . llevenue raiders have recently cap tured six or seven distilleries in Urange county. There are just one hundred streets in Wilmington, of two or two and a half miles to the street. 'v There is talk of having a telepl.onic exchange in Wilmington similar to those in most of the larger cities. A colored pleasure organization to be called the " Tar Heel Club," has I een formed in Wilmington. There are twenty prisoners iu Anson jail, and a lot of them came near escap ing a few nights ago. The Wilmington lodge of (Jood Samaritans is said to be stronger than any in the United states. ' The Legislature having passed an act continuing the University normal school it will be opened, as usual, in June. The Laurinburg rapist, Eli Bethuue, has been caught. At least the Lumber ton Robeftonian so announces "positively. A revival is in progress in Chapel Hill under the ministry of the Rev. A. C. Dixon. The interest is on the in crease. The two hundredth and second stu dent since the beginning of the colle- fiate year has just matriculated at the diversity. If a theatrical company were to visit Henderson, it would have no place to perform. This would run the theatri cal company crazy. The young man named Clay, recently liying with Mr. Miles Fry, of Catawba county, and who disappeared suddenly, has not been dealt foully with, as had been supposed, but is married and doing well, living two miles from Gaffney's, on the Atlanta & Charlotte Air-Line. In the very first issue of the Hender son Review the young local man boldly asserts that there are more pretty girls in his tow n than, in any other in the State. Had he known the ire which this remark will stir-, in the breasts of the Statesville Landmark, Lenoir Topic and Hickory Pm, he would never have given utterance to it. A letter to the Wilmington Hun tells it that last Sunday night at Durham, Mr. Thos. Pin nix W'as on his way to escort a young lady to church . when he was set upon by two negroes who at tempted to rob him. He shouted for help but the highwaymen secnred his chain jind fled. Ab.

Billinger, the Michigander, who came her a short time since and made the necessary ..arrangements for the erection of a steam saw mill and other improvements in the neighbor hood of the Wilmington cotton mills, has proven himself to be an unmitigat ed fraud, and has left for parts un known.

The Sun relates that a negro man walking in a garden in Wilmington Tuesday morning came across the body of a newly born babe, which, had been buried but a few inches deep.

WHmGXON, ' !March 5. The 'Sub committee of the Teller comtnitteercon sisting of Senators Hoar, Kirkwood, McMullan, Wallace and Garland, held a meeting yesterday. Their business is to inquire into the Thurman branch of the resolution under which the committee are acting, includin 2 ' the subiects 6f ments for political purposes. As the j President has issued his proclamation for an extra session of Congress on the 18th instant, it was concluded that the committee could not proceed to busi ness at this time. On motion of Wallace it was resolved that the Attorney General, be request ed to furnish to this committee a de tailed statement of the number of deputy marshals appointed under Fed eral statutes by the marshals of the United States iu reference to, the direc tion of elections in the several States during the past , year, and where em ployed, the names of such deputies how much paid to each, the length of time each of such deputies was employed, and the States districts in and which they were employed. The committee ad journed to the 19th of March. A Vacant Senatorsbf p In New Hampshire Bostqn, March 5. A special dispatch from Concord, N. H., says there was a conference of prominent politicians there to-day to talk over the vacant United States Senatorship, as Tew Hampshire will be represented by only one Senator unless the- Governor ap points a Senator to aet'until the Legis-' lature eiecis a successor w vv auieign, whose term expired yesterday. Gov. Prescott has the matter under consider- tion, and after consulting many author ities is not yot able to decide whether or not the power is vested in him to fill the vacancy in case it should be decid ed that the law authorizes an appoint ment. There will be many candidates tor the position, but it is believed the Governor wrill appoint Wadleigh to fill this vacancy. Methodist Conferences In Baltimore. Baltimore, March o.

The Patapsco Baking Powder is unquestionably healthful, and Is in daily use In the families of the proprietors ana by every employe In tbe factory This simple fact will be a sufficient answer to every fair-minded person on this point When manu facturers use dally on their own table the same ar ticle they commend to the public, they give the strongest and most unequivocal opinion of Its mer its. But to place the healthfulness of our Baking Powder beyond question, read the clear and em phatic testimonials of the following distinguished chemists and physicians on this point, and also as 10 11s practical uuircy. Baltimore, Nov. 30, 1878. Messrs. Smith, Hanway & Co., Gents The Patapsco Baking Powder Is a thor oughly scientific combination, and great skill has been shown In devising it It particularly com mends itself by the slowness m which the carbonic acia is generaiea. it requires neat lor the com plete evolution of the gas; hence in baking, the bread must become lighter than whan ordinurr powders are used.

Smith, Hanway & Co., Gentlemen I have examined the composition of your Patapsco Baking Powder, and can certify that It coEtalns nothing that can be In the least degree objectionable or Injurious to health. I consider It a judicious and valuable preparation, and wfaea used -ocording to directions it must be considered perfectly safe and wholesome. Since all the active constituents undergo Important chemlcal.changea, when the Baking Powder Is used. It Is absurd to suppose that any of these can be transferred un changed to tbe food prepared with it The whole value of the preparation depends on this chemical action which liberates the carbonic add gas re quired; and its peculiar value depends on the slow auu graauai manner in wmcn this action goes on. It Is simply Impossible to detect the slightest trace of alum or any other deleterious substance lit bread, or any other article of food prepared with uro jrauttmw xxuuug jrowaer. Respecttully. tc, WILLIAM E. A. AIKTN. M. Tj.V 4c , ' Prof. Chem A Pnarm. Baltimore, Jan. 11, 1879. Messrs. Smith, Hanway & Co., Gentlemen I do not see how I can add anything on the subject-question, to the full and exDlfcu opinions of Profs. Wilson and Alkta, except to ex press my surprise that any chemist or other educa ted person could find anything Injurious in the powder to which you refer, or in Its effects and re suits as used.
