We are at a loss to understand how a lot of men. individually of extraordi nary intellect, can form an aggregation of hopeless idiocv. Yet the careful leader of the Xorth Carolina newspapers of to-day must see that this is the case with regard to the Legislature which has just adjourned. Many of the nwespaper pronounce it an entire fail ure; they declare that it did nothing ex eept vrhat it .ought not .tp- .have done, and that from .first to last it made an ass of itself continually. While there is a good deal of unanimity on this sub ject, it is with still more unanimity that, in welcoming their respective rep resentatives home, the same newspa pers declare that their jmrlicutar mem bers are just too ultle and efficient, for anything and that they always did the proper thing and never failed to toe the mark in the interest of the impoverish ed and down-trodden tax-pavers. We have observed that pretty much all the newspapers have had something of this sort to say of their Assemblymen, and still they insist that the Legislature, as an aggregate, was a gabbering, chatter ing, drivelling idiot Itjis evident to our mind that there is something wrong about this; what it is we do not under take to say. It may be . that the legist lators as individuals, 'are not "able and efficient" as they are repre sented to be; or it may be that the Legislature was not such a scurvy body as it is represented to have been.

A caucus of the Democratic members of the House of Representatives was held to-day tor the purpose ot consider iiig the order of business and the mea- fures to be taken during the present extra session of Congress. The senti ment of the caucus, as far as developed, tavored confamng the business to the pending appropriation bills. There was no dissent whatever to the adoption of the provisions similar to these hereto fore attached to these bills, namely The prohibition, of troops at polls on election days; the repeal of the jurors' test oath, and the employment ot super visors of elections. The question whether such provisions should be at tached to the appropriation bills or em bodied in independent bills, together with the order of business, was referred to a committee ot eleven, to be appoint ed bv the chair, who will confer with the caucus committee of nine of the Senate and report to an adjourned meet in;i ot the caucus. The Raleigh Neivs stated, a few days ago, that there naa oeen anoiner sxiue in Mud Cut, on the Western North Car olina Railroad, covering up part of a construction train. Maj.

Raleigh Observer: Walter Moore, a revenue orhcei , is charged in a warrant issued by Justice M. M. Fry, of Moore county, with being an accessory before the tact to the killing ot W . seaweii by N. B.

The Paris correspondent of the Times remarks that this passage of course re fers to the Jesuits, who have 27 col leges in Fiance, with 848 teachers. Twenty other communities, having 61 establishments and 1,080 teachers,are al so unrecognized by the State and they will consequently be deprived by the bill of the right of teaching. It is pre sumed that if the bill passes the dis qualified orders will transfer their es tablishments to those recognized by law. But there will be a bitter strug gle before the clause becomes a law.
