The Kaleigkpi4pei4jliEonkde the leat& Hon. William II. Battle, which took place Last Friday afternoon at the resi dence of his son, Hon. Kemp P. Battle, at Chapel Hill. Judge Battle was in the seventy-seventh- year of his age. lie had been a member 6f the Legisla ture, succeeded Judge Toomer on the Superior Court bench in 1840, was ele vated to the Supreme Court bench in 1852 and presided as one of the associate justices of that court until 1868. lie with Gov. Iredell and Judge Nash pre pared the revised statutes of the State in lfci'., and in 1873 alone revised the laws, under the appointment of the General Assembly,; and gave to the State Battle's Revisal. Since then he was president of the Raleigh National Bank, and a year ago moved to Chapel Hill. Judge Battle was an earnest, Chris tian gentleman. His death is a loss to the State With him has fallen a pure and a good man. t m ' The Captions. Ve print this morn ing the captions of all the acts and reso lutions of the last General Assembly in which any reader jof The Observer has the least interest or concern. For the sake of economy of space we strike from the list so many of The captions as relate to local bills passed for the benefit if townships or neighborhoods in the extreme eastern part of the State ; but . i ! -c ' 1.211 ...i. : i i lie caption ui trvpry um wuii.ii io ui general State interest, is left in the list, and not only so but that of every bill which applies to any corporation, neigh borhood or section in the State west of Raleigh. These captions will give our readers all that they desire to know, in advance of the publication df the laws, concerning the work of the Legislature, and we print them for information at the earliest possible moment. I I Complexion of the Fcrty-Sixth Congress. The Baltimore Sun pub lishes the name of every Senator and Itepresentative in the Forty-Sixth Con gress, by States, designating the politi cal party with which'1 each will act. The recapitulation allows that in the Senate there will be 42 Democrats, 33 Republicans and 1 Independent a Dem ocratic majority of 8. In the House there will 1 147 Democrats, 129 Re publicans, 11 Nationals a Democratic majority of 7 over all, even supposing that all of the Nationals will act with the Republicans, which will not be the case, a majority of them being really Democrats. There are 0 vacancies of these 4 from California and it is a more than liberal estimate to the Republi- cans to say that when mese vacancies in the House are filled majority will be 15. the Democratic The School BtL.-Tlie Raleigh News states that in the hurry of the last day of the session of the General Assembly the "act to revise and consolidate the public school laws" failed to receive the signatures of the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House. In consequence thereof it is not a law. The presiding officers cannofsign a bill except when their respective houses are in session, hence we will knock along for two years V more under the old school system. ; The Reveni-e Bill The Raleigh News says : "It is the opinion of that able and sagacious representative, Colonel Brown, of Mecklenburg, that the new revenue bill the best the State lias ever had. The machinery it employs lor the listing and as sessing of ersonal property is one of ij8 distinguishing excellencies. Much valuable thought was given this subject by Senatofr Alexander." We see from the Washington Gazette, of Sunday, that on the day previous Senator Z. B. Vance and Representa tive R. F. Armaeld, of North Carolina arrived at the Metropolitan Hotel in that city ; on the same day Hon. J. J. JJayis and "vyi Steele, of North Caro lina, arrived at tile National. Senator Hansom was already at the Metropoli tan before the arrival of these gentle men. And the child's name is Randall! (iood enough. It is the beginning of his third term of service in the chair, which perhaps bever had an occupant his superior. , "The Legislature passed four hundred and fifty-six bills and fifty-four resolu tions. Many a Legislature has done much worse Kan this. Revenue Seizures Id Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia. Washington, March 17. The com missioner of internal revenue has been advised by ih& collector at Raleigh. N. C, of the capture of another still on Saturday. The collector at Lynchburg, Va., telegraphs! that two illicit grain distilleries were seized , in Franklin county on the il3th inst, and the collec tor at Atlanta,;Ga reports the seizure in the mountain country, on the 15th inst, of six copper stills, with a large amount of other property. Certain Changes In tbe French Cabinet. London, March 17. The Paris cor- : respondent of the Daily News says : "It ia universally -x believed that M. Wad- dington eannot remain premier, and it is improbable that he will consent to remain in the ministry in any lower raDacitv. M.

The committee announced , that ' the work assigned to them was unfinished, and it was resolved to extend their time until to-morrow afternoon, im mediately after the adjournment of the Some discussion then occurred with regard to the advisability of proceed ing to nominate and ballot for the of ficers of the Senate. It was generally conceded that there was no need for haste in disposing of that subject, and it was therefore agreed to postpone its consideration until Thursday next. Senator Beck offered a resolution providing in substance that the legisla tive business of the Senate during tjie extra session shall be confined to the passage of the tw6 annual appropria tion bills, which failed of enactment last session, including the political measures that were incorporated in them by the House of Representatives, viz: The repeal of the Federal election laws and the jurors' test oath, and the prohibition against the presence of troops at the polls. After some discus sion this resolution and general snb iect of the order of business were re ferred to the following committee, with instruction to report to the caucus to morrow or as soon thereafter as practi-; cable: Messrs. Thurman, , Saulsbury, Wbyte, Kernan, Jones, of Florida, Bai lev, Lamar, Voorhees and Vance. All the Democratic senators were m-eaent at to-dav's caucus exceDtJMessrs Gordon, Maxey and Hampton. Mr. Gor don is ill, Mr. Maxey is expected to ar rive from Texas to-nignt ana uen. Hampton has not left South Carolina. REPUBLICAN HOUSE CAUCUS. The Republican members elect of the House of Representatives held a caucus in the hall of the House this evenine. Frye, of Maine, was made chairman and Amos Townsend, of Ohio, secretary of the caucus, whicb, thereupon proceeded to nominate can didates in behalf of the Republicans for the various elective officers of the House. The following were nominated ivnanimouslv: For Speaker, Gen. Gar field, of Ohio ; for Clerk of the House, ex-Congressman Rainev, of South Car olina ; for Sergeant-at-Arms, Gen. Jere miah M.

The following were appointed to act as an executive and advisory committee of the Republican caucus for the- forty sixth Congress : Representatives Frye, Garfield, Conger, Dunnell, James, Har ris, Henderson, Harmer and Haskill After some discussion as ' to its form but with practical unanimity in regard to its purpose, it was Tesolved as the sense of this caucus, that no legislation shall be entered upon during this ses sion other than that for which the ses sion was especially called. During the preliminary interchange of views, the general desire was ex pressed for a short session. RANDALL RE-NOMINATED. In the Democratic caucus to-night, the first ballot for Speaker resulted as follows: Randall, 75; Blackburn, 57; McMahon, 3 ; Morrison, 2 ; Cox, 4. This insures the nomination of Randall for Speaker of the fortv-sixth Congress, on the first ballot. VIBbl.MA MATTERS. Failure to Get a Jury for the Polndex ter Case A Woman About to file The Debt Bill Expected to Pass. Ric hmond, Va, March 17. The trial of John E. Poindexter, indicted for the murder of young Curtis, two weeks since commenced in the Hustings Court to-day. iOnly three jurors were obtain ed fromihe venire and the court ad journed till Thursday when an effort will be made to complete the jury from lue tales ot one hundred ordered to be summoned for that day. Mrs. liaccigalupo, who received nu merous stabs at the hands of her husband Saturday night, is still in a critical con dition. Her husband was brought be fore the police court this' morning but his examination was postponed ten days to await the result of her wounds. xuc kjcuaiG uiii fiu v lumg iui a settle ment of the State debt was f urthef dis cussed in the House to-day. An effort made to hx a time for taking tt final vote on the bill was defeated, there be ing four votes less than the necessary two-thirds. It is expected that the bill will pass this week. ; Tbe Situation of British Besldents In Burnish Still Critical. London, March 17 The Times' Cal cutta dispatch says the chief commis sioner lor lintish J5urmah now has a sufficient force to protect the British territory, but the position of. 'tne resi dents and other Europeans Mandalay is critical in the extreme. The best hope for their safety rests on the belief that the king and his advisers are not so en tirely lost to all sense of prudence as to precipitate their own downfall by rush ing into hostilities. A telegram from Rangeon contradicts the special dispatch to the Daily News of the 14th inst;, saying that it was thought that an ultimatum would be sent by the British to Mandalay. A Zola Lie for Effect. London, March 17. The story pub lished on the 10th that Col. Pearson had been attacked at Ekowe by a large force of Zulus, and that the latter were defeated with enormous loss, is utterly false. It was, probably circula ted by the Zulu in order to delay the dispatch of assistance to Ekowe. The Orange free State government has refused to aid or to permit its citi zens tovahl-the!
