There are those who areready to denounce the Assembly and exclaim "It did nothing!" 'Hait is very strong and the ! majority of these censors have pronounced the same criticism upon every:L,egislature which lias met since they "have been of age. People expect too much of their law makers. A General Assembly cannot abolish taxatio neither can it inaugu rate a system of laws, reforms or im provements which will meet the appro bation of all classes. When, therefore, it strives laboriously and intelligently to accomplish the greatest good for the greatest number, even) if1 It'aucbeeds but partially in doing this, its mission has been accomplished ; and if its in dividual members, know for themselves that they have earnestly striven to ful fill the measure of their duties, they hed riJt heed the carpers whom, like the poor, we have always with us. We repeat that this General Assem bly has done fairly well. Much legisla tion 'hijfbW eanestly desired to ;see accomplished, was brougiit before it and failed, but much that was important 'inajofpjqflipftl benefit jWs perfected. Much worse bodies have assembled at Raleigh in a legislative capacity, even asltterlhafveaesfMblejil thqre aralit is no more than truth to sav that Hhe'l one just adjourned will compare re spectably with the majority of their. It has done some things that will cause it to be remembered with gratitude, and its errors were such, generally speaking, as will do little harm and soon be for gotten. A WISE ACT. Among the last acts of the General , 4-serably was the passage of abill.eiiti 1 tAed "an act to define the qualificatrbns ot jurors," which we have received in manuscript and print as follows : The General Assembly of North Car olina do enact, That it shall be a dis qualification And ground of challenge to any tales juror that such juror has act ed in the same court as grand or petit juror within two years next preceding such term of court. This act shall be in force from and after its ratification. This wise act was introduced by Rep resentative Ellison, colored, of Wake, and its tendency ik to maintain the pu rity of our courts of justice and to cause the professional jurymen to seek out other occupations.

Ut" resentatives of ;thi riXthCoiF gressis now the all-absorbing question in official circles., The relatiye claims and merlte of different gentlemen who are recognized as candidates, and the possible effects of the election of the one or the other upon the presidential election of 188hare engrossing the at tention of the press and public men, hnHl thesctwsionba ewe fcewed, even to the stirring up .of bad blood. At a time when the sectional feeling be tween the Democrats of the country "had about died out, it is revived in all its force by the imprudent friends of Messrs. Blackburn and Randall, the former of whom are intent upon assert ing what they call " the rights of the South," while the latter have been be trayed into saying things of the South ern wing of the Democratic party which were better left unsaid. Until the question assumed the shape of almost a warfare, we have felt no eijeat amount of interest in the matter, feeliner sure that the speaker, whoever he might be, would be a Democrat, and one honest and capable ; but since the discussion has gone thus far, and as sumed so wide a range, we are impelled to sav that from the first we have not seen the force of the arguments em ployed by the friends of Mr. Blackburn as against Mr. Randall. It is quite true that the former is an able and a bril liant man ; a man of personal courage and a skilfull and aggressive leader; but nothing in the way of eulogy has been said of him that will not apply with equal force to Mr. Randall with the additional argument in favor of the latter : that he has large experience, a qualification in which Mr. Blackburn is wanting. If there is a difference in the tact and astuteness of the gentle men, the odds are in favor of Mr. Ran dall. No man, perhaps, as Speaker of the House, has developed finer qualities fitting him for the position, and it is an acknowledged fact that his superior skill has on many different occasions extricated his party from embarrass ing situations when from any cause its majority has been slender and the ene my pressed it hard. It is not claimed by any one that Mr. Blackburn will make a better Speaker; nor is it claimed by any one that his character is loftier, or that his Democracy is of a purer quality. To our mind the sectional argument in the matter goes for nothing. We are not of those who, from motives of poli cy, favor the idea of the South holding back forever and hesitating to assert its rights in the government. This is as much our government as anybody else's, and we have but little patience with that spirit which prompts some to practice humiliation and self-abnegation under the idea that there is some other section more entitled than ours to the protection and the benefits affor ded by the ample folds of the American nag; out we can see no peculiar ad vantages to be derived by the tlevati. n of a Southern man to the speakership at this time, when his competitor is a Northern man of more experience, per haps more ability, and one who, ever since ins occupation ot the speakers chair began, has shown a commenda ble disposition to give the South and Southern Congressman a fair "divide" n all things under his control. To just this extent are we able to rise above sectional considerations. We br ieve that Mr. Blackburn can do no more tor tne outn than Mr. Kandall las done ; we are satisfied that he can do no more for the Democratic partv. He is an able leader on the floor; there is none there who is his superior: he las shown himself com petent to cope in debate with any of them, and a leader of just his brilliancy, courage and ag gressiveness is such a leader as we need on the floor of the House.

New Yoke:, March 15. 9.00 r k. m. Howell 457, Ennis 433, Ilarriman 413. It is estimated that $20,000 gate money was received yesterday and the total re ceipts to this evening win De $eo,ooo. This would give the winner $20,000 clear of all expenses ; the second Si 5,000, and the third $10,000, should they cover the 450 miles required. It is stated, howeveTVthat neither man wiir receive anything like the sum named. It ap pears that ring speculators entered into an arrangement with the pedestrians, to furnish the necessary capital, bear all expenses and guarantee each man a certain sum paid to be $5,000 who should cover 450 miles during the six days, and a smaller sum, in any event, they (the speculators) to have all the rest 10.00 a. m. Rowell 450, Ennis 437, Harriman 417. Rowell turned his 460th mile at 10.04, 17. making the mile in 14 minutes 20 seconds. After completing his 458th mile he rested for 26 minutes and 9 seconds. Mr. Atkinson stated that Rowell had received quite a number of threatening letters since he began his walk. One reads: "Private. Should vour man Rowell be so far ahead Fri- dav night, or especially Saturday morn ing, as to make it impossible for him to lose, you cannot be too watchful as there is a partv contemplating some dirtv work to prevent him from win ning. If the attempt is made it will be done around where the grotto is situa ted or else on the south side of the building near the saloon entrance There is where thev are likely to be on the north or west sides.

Early this morning attempts were made to interfere with Rowell on the track which were promptly suppressed by the police. The police were stationed around the track to prevent interter ence with the pedestrians, and the force will be strengthened bv night. Rowell has subsided into a quiet, steady walk and has not broken into a run to-day Ennis walks well and is making good time on every mile. His face is Degin- mng to show the hard work he is ac complishing and is very pale and care worn. Harriman is walking still but it seems as much as he can do to keep on the track. His step is slow although he maintains the same long strides. 11 a. m. Rowell 463, Ennis 440, Darn man 420. 12 m. Rowell 4C7, Ennis 443, Harri man 423. 1 p. m.

The reports of the morning journals as to each man in the walking contest getting $5,000 and the hrst man to have the stakes, Mr. Plummer,the reteree, states to be untrue; that the money would be divided as agreed at first. There being only three men who will make the 450 miles required dis tance, 50 per cent of the money, with the belt, goes to the winner, 30 per cent to the second man, and 20 per cent to the third, and this arrangement will be adhered to. bout two o'clock the pedestrians were on the track tor a short time, it is now conhdently settled beyond a doubt in the minds of all parties who have watched the match with any at tentipn, that Rowell will win the belt and the first place, Ennis the second place and Harriman cover 450 miles. The latter walks about an average of four miles an hour and if he keeps that up to the hnish will reach in the neigh borhood of 480 miles by 11 o clock to night. The total receipts up to 10 o'clock this morning were about $45,- 000. At 2 this afternoon the total time Rowell had been off the track was 37 hours 50 minutes and 35 seconds ; En nis 33 hours. 29 minutes and 9 seconds ; Harriman 37 hours, 45 mm. and 51 see s It is said that Ennis and O'Leary nave already challenged Rowell tor the belt and that the money has already been put up.

It would seem to be a truth appreciable by all, and especially by professors of the healing art, that to remove the disease, not to alleviate Its symp toms, should be the chief aim of medication. Yet In how many Instances do we see this truth ad mitted In theory, Ignored In practice. The reason that HOstetter's Stomach Bitters is successful In so many cases, with which remedies previously tried were Inadequate to cope, Is attributable to the fact that It is a medicine which reaches and removes the causes of the various maladies to which it is adapted. Indigestion, fever and ague, liver com plaint, gout, rheumatism, disorders of the bowels, urinary affections and other maladies are not palliated merely, but rooted out by it It goes to the fountain head. It is really, not nominally, a radical remedy, and it endows the system with an amount of vigor which is its best protection against disease.
