Charlotte bscmcr, CIIAS. H. JOKES, Editor & Proprietor Entered at the Post-Office at Charlotte, N. C, as Second Ot ass matier FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1880. THE WESTERN N. C. RAILBOAD. To the exclusion of our usual variety of matter "this morning we surrender much space on our outside pages to the publication of the proceedings of the .board of directors of the Western North Carolina Railroad, at their recent ses sion in Raleigh, to consider the propo sition made by the Best "syndicate" to purchase the road. This great enter prise, if we may except a sort of a quali fied interest in the Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad, is all that is left to North Carolina for all that she has spent for internal improvements. Her. interests in the ilaleigh ;& Gaston, the Wilmington & Weldon, and the Caro lina Central have disappeared under the auctioneer's hammer, and the result of circumstances, mainly the result of the war, which could not be foreseen. She may or may not still have an interest in the Fayetteville and Western Railroad, and whatever interest she may still retain in the great Nortli Carolina railroad has at least been hitched up and tied out for thirty years. We do not attempt to say here that our railroad interests have been badly managed, or that they could have been handled so that there might have been a, different result. We are brought to look the matter squarely in the face, and we do not hesitate to say that with these millions of loss, the development of our resources, and the progress we have made as a State, including of course the enhancement of the values of our property, have more than com pensated us for the outlay. Acting in this spirit we do not consider it would be good policy to sit down and cry over the "spilled milk," but we are opposed to the necessary spilling of any more. Let us see if we canaot do better in fu ture, and while we may do well to sell the last piece of public property still left to the State, we may do better to stop and discuss it long enough to reach a fair conclusion. The board of directors, as we think, wisely declined to recommend the call ing of an extraordinary session of the Legislature, at present, to consider the Best proposition. We have never yet ! been able to see the necessity for haste in a matter which is fraught with the best interests of the people of the whole State. If the Best proposition is a good one, it will keep until the people's rep resentatives are called together by vir tue of the provisions of the constitutior. Nothing to the contrary has ever been given to the public, at least. In the meantime the State's five hundred con victs are digging dirt on the banks of the Swannanoa, and the appropriation of seventy thousand dollars per annum will be in force until the end of the year at least. All the necessary employes, beside the convict labor, has been regu larly employed until the end of the year, and President Wilson, who voted against the calling of the extra session, does not seem to be in very great dis tress for money. This sudden inspira tion to get the old thing off our hands, and get it off quickly, makes us begin to believe there is a "nigger in the wood pile" somewhere. We confess that to all appearances the "proposition" looks perfectly fair, and we have never charged to the contrary. .We have said so far "turn on the light," and we will be content with nothing less. It is believed here that Gov. Jarvis is in sympathy with the "syndicate," else why should it be necessary for him to go to Washington to consult with Col. Buford and Tom Scott's representa tives. We do not desire to do the Gov ernor any injustice, and we give him credit for being an astute politician, but wiser men than he have dug their po litical graves by less matters than the sale of three millions of dollars worth of public property. We have not for gotten that he has already fallen into the blunder of the "North Carolina System," so-called, that is expected to build up Richmond at pur expense. The trap was set to catch Gov. Vance, but he couldn't "see it." Gov. Jarvis went over soul and body. A few months ago there was wild talk about the Clyde line ot steamers that were expected to plow up the waters of Beaufort harbor in their effort to waft North Carolina productions to the East Indies, and other foreign countries, and on their return to bring back such rich cargoes, though beggaring Wilmington, as would make our little visionary port the largest on the "Atlantic coast, but all that is now numbered with the dead past. That was "buncombe" talk, and - we don t know exactly how much of the same thing can be found in the Governors present recommendations, or in the Raleigh Observer's italics, but we do know that it will be prudent to look into the matter well before action. "In a multitude of counsellors there is safety." We have a railroad that we are very anxious to sell. AVe rejected the first "best proposition, and that gentleman made another which is un derstood to be better than the first. Mr, McGhee, president of the Knoxville & Ohio railroad, is also said to be in the market, and there may be others. We've got a big thing, but we are bound to sell it. It. is too valuable to keep, but let us make the most out of it we can. There are of those who favor the sale of the road who assert that the Legisla ture will never amroDriate another dollar toward its completion. The road cannot stop at Asheville. Having cross ed the great Appalachian chain of mountains at . immense expense, and been favored with hopes, wishes, prayers, to say nothing of three mil lions of dollars, by the people of North Carolina, for a quarter of a century, it cannot stop. We have not labored to get to Asheville only. We Beek an out let to the fertile -valleys of the great West, and toe are going there. Pro vidence may send us a Joshua in the shape of a New York "syndicate," but we shall go there all the same. Bbtb political parties are commuted to it, and every interest of the State demands it. 'It would be worse than folly to spend three millions of dollars to erect a fine mansion and then stop without putting a roof on it. This is about the comparative condition in which we find our railroad, 'and we do not despair of seeing our Legislature rise to the sub limity of patriotism and 'good states manship, if ever the occasion should come. It is conceded that the bill introduc ed into the House of Representatives by Mr. Reagan, of Texas, to regulate com merce between the States has been ef fectually killed by the adven-e. report of the committee to whom it had been referred. The bill was bitterly opposed by representatives of leading railroads in the country on the ground that it would seriously implicate inter-State traffic. 'There is no doubt that some re strictions should be placed on railroads by which the people can be protected from the influence of monopolies, or of inimical foreign corporations, but ex perience has shown that legislative bodies have rarely accomplished any good when attempting to regulate rail road matters. And this suggests the in quiry, what has become of the law pass ed by our last General Assembly, and about which there was so much discus sion V Is the law in force ? TheIndiana Election. The Indi ana election which is to be held on the first Monday in April, begins to attract some attention, although no offices are to be filled. Seven constitutional amend ments are to be voted upon, one of which, if adopted, will defer the next election to November, and another would inaugurate a registry law. Party lines are not strictly drawn in connec tion with. these amendments, but the greater part of the Republicans support the amendments, while a great many Democrats oppose them. The amend ments in question were carried through the Democaatic Legislature under some pressure from Governor Hendricks and other leading Democrats, and their adoption is reasonably certain. By changing the day of election to Novem ber the Democrats hope to get rids of colonization from Illinois, Ohio and Michigan. The German VoTE.-The Philadelphia Prm.Republican, says one of the "signi ficant signs of the times, worthy the at tention of the Republican political lead ers, is the unanimous opposition of the Germans to the third-term candidacy of Gen. Grant." The Press adds: "If there were nothing else to offer against the third-term candidacy of Gen. Grant but the combined opposition of the Germans it should be sufficient for shrewd lead ers who consider expediency, to call a halt upon it; for the Republican party cannot elect its presidental candidate without the German vote. Large as it is, However, it is small compared witn the vote of our native-born citziens who are opposed to the thud-term pro ject." Capt. Auld, the former master of Fred Douglass, the present colored marshal of thelDistrict of Columbia, died last Sunday, at his residence at St. Michael's, on the Eastern shore of Maryland. Cap tain Auld was in Lis eighty-sixth year, and became the owner of .Mr. Douglass by marrying Miss Lucretia Anthony, to whose family lie (Douglass) belonged. The late Secretary of the Navy, Hon. Adolph A. Borie recently died in Phila delphia, and his will was admitted to probate on the 10th inst. Among the bequests made is a legacy os ten thou sand dollars to General Grant. UOVAL HEX. He flakes His Appearance in New Orleans. New Orleans, February 10. Rex arrived yesterday and was received roy ally. The procession included a body guard of V nited States troops and the local military. The procession to-day moved according to programme: First came the band of the royal household, then the Assyrian warriors, driven in a chariot, followed by generals, priests, astronomers, and other attaches, then in a gorgeous chariot came Rex as Shal maneser, the Assyrian conqueror. The royal chariot was closely followed by his majesty's favorite band of the Thir teenth Infantry, and a royal division of troops. The pageant proper came next in the shape of twenty magnificent cars representing the four elements of creation. Then came the burlesque of the German Leidertafel and Phorty Phunny Phellows and miscellaneous masquers. The streets along the line of the procession were crowded with spec tators. Thousands of strangers are in the city. The weather is cloudy and pleasant. The procession of the Mystic Krewe Com us to-night illustrated phases in the history of the Aztecs and their conquest by Cortes, in sixteen tableaux on floats : 1. Traditions; 2. The New Fire; 3. The Pyramid of Cholulu; 4. The Judiciary"; 5. A Floating Island; 6. A Marriage Ceremony; 7. The Agave American; 8. Banner of Cortes, in Anahuac; 9. Na tives Court the Spaniard ; 10. : Evil Omens; 11. Montezuma Visits Cortes; 12. Treachery of Alvarado ; 13. Alvara do's Leap; 14. Cortes Conqueror; 15. Imperial Recognition; 16, Progress. The exhibition concluded with tableaux at the opera house and a grand ball, which was attended by 2,000 people. It was a magnificent affair. Rex'a recep tion at Exposition Hall was a great success, 5,000 persons being present. Parnell and the Herald Fund. Sckanton. Pa., Feb. 19 Mr. Parnell, m a speecn at Scrunton to-night, said that if the New York Herald appointed a committee to distribute its fund in which the Irish people could place con fidence, it would have his best wishes for its success ; but if the Herald allied itself with Irish landlords in their at- temp to get possession of the American reiiet tund, and used it as a means to defeat the Irish people in their present enon to secure their rights, he would spare no effort to enlighten the Ameri can public as to the true nature of the transaction. . : j ' I I i ' ' A Scandal In Which a Southern Sena tor ban a Hand.

Garland introduced a bill to extend the time for the completion of the Tex as and Pacific Railway. The Vace-President laid before the Senate a communication from several members of a minority of the Louisi ana legislature in regard to the repre sentation of that State in the United States Senate. Printed and referred. Davis, of West Virginia, said if the Senator from Georgia (Gordon) had been in his seat to-day he (Davis) would have moved to take up the motion to reconsider the vote appointing a special committee on the inter-oceanic canal. Delay on this subject was not caused by him or his motion to reconsider. He was and had been ready to consider the matter at any time. The Senate proceeded to consider the calendar. House. Stephens, of Georgia, chair man or tne committee on coinage, weights and measures, reported back five bills relative to the metric system of coinage. Printed and referred to committee of the whole. The five bills provide as follows : 1st, for the coinage of the metric gold coin, to be called 'Stella," of the value of four dollars; 2d, for the coinage of the goloid metric dollar, two dollars and fractions' of a dollar ; and also the coinage of the met ric gold double eagle, eagle and half eagle, all of standard value; 3d, for the mintage of ingots of metric gold alloy, its deposit in the treasury and issue of certificates therefor ; 4th, for the mak ing of ingots of fine gold and ingots of fine silver of the value of $100 each, for exportation, manufacturers, etc.; 5th, for the coinage of silver dollars and fractions thereof, of full standard value, upon the metric system.

COMMITTEES. The Senate commerce committee took up to-day the House bill making a special deficiency appropriation in ad vance of the general river and harbor bill for the improvement op Muscle Shoals, in Alabama river. Ah oral ar gument in advocacy of favorable ac tion upon the bill was made by the Alabama Senators. No action, how ever, was taken upon it to-day. The House committee on education and labor decided to-day to report ad versely, Representative Thompson's bill providing for the distribution of the fund from the unclaimed pay and bounty of colored soldiers for the edu cation of the colored race. This action is based upon information furnished the committee that the fund barely amounts to $200,000, and is being con stantly drawn on by claimants. The House committee on ways and means took up the refunding question this morning for final action. The first vote taken was upon the rates of interest. This was decided in favor of 34 per cent, by a vote of 11 to 2. The question of time was then settled by a decisive vote of 12 to 1 in favor of a 20 40 bond. Theinterest on these bonds is to be paid quarterly, and they are to be used in funding fives and sixes, amounting to about five hundred mil lion dollars. The committee decided also to recommend that authority be given the Secretary of the Treasury to issue two hundred millions of dollars of 4 per cent. Treasury notes, redeema ble at pleasure, to assist the reduction of the annual interest burden in the manner proposed by Representative Keuv. NOMINATIONS. The President sent the following nominations to the Senate to-day: Geo. Tog, to be collector of customs at Cherrystone, a.; Jno. S. Reed, to be postmaster at Huntsville, Ala: F.

The New 1 orK 1 imes tins morning publishes a private correspondence between Sena tor Gordon and Representative Steob ens, with reference to the personal mis understanding which arose Detween them at a recent meeting of the Senate census committee. The letters, it is un derstood, were furnished to the Times by Representative Stephens, Senator Gordon having refused to give them to the press on the ground that thev re lated to purely private matters. Mr. Gordon, in his letter, expresses regret that under extreme provocation he used harsh and angry words to Mr. Stephens, but says the latter had done him great injustice, both in private conversation and in the statement made before the committee that he (Gordon) favored ex-Marshal Smythe for the office of supervisor in the first census district of Georgia. Mr. Stephens, in reply, accepts Mr Gordon's apology, but refuses to admit that there was any provocation on his part for Mr. Gordon s words. He says he meant nothing offensive to General Gordon in repeating what he had heard about the latter s favoring the appoint ment of Major Smythe. The only ob ject of his remark before the committee was to show that the objectionable words in Mr. Simmons's letter of appli cation, taken in their proper connec tion, were not subject to the construe tion which Gen. Gordon placed upon them. I m 1 CABLE FLASHED. German military Affairs Cost of the Franco-German War Irih ltelief. London, Feb. 12. A Paris dispatch savs the tsotr announces that General Deburg, commander of the sixteenth brigade of German Infantry, has been appointed chief of staff to the fit teen th army corps, stationed at fetrasuurg, and adds: "The foregoing is very signmcant, as uen. ueourg is intimate ly acquainted with the French army." The announcement of the donation to Ireland from Baroness Burdett Coutts was exaggerated. Only 5,000 were given, with the promise of other bene ficial acts of relief when necessary. . A dispatch from Teheran to Reuter's Telegram company says it is rumored that the government will shortly pro pose tne appointment 01 an European commission tor the settlement of Per sia's northeastern frontier. It is also reported that in the coming spring. Jfersia will dispatch a lorce to occupv Afganistan and eventually Herat, and that England is fully informed of these intentions and has accepted Persia's proposal and condition. Paris, Feb. 12.

Raleigh Dispatch : Mr. Richardson, of Philadelphia, will this week com mence the manufacture of stone pipe at the penitentiary, arrangements hav ing been perfected between him and the authorities of that institution.

A Chapel Hill correspondent of the Farmer and Mechanic suggests that the vacancy caused in the experi ment station at Chapel Hill by the re signation of Prof. Ledoux be filled by the appointment of Prof. Redd to the po sition, and that the students assist in the discharge of the duties of the office. The work required to be done by the students is exactly the same as that done in the Agricultural Station. The Raleigh Christian Advocate, speaking of the telephone recently put in Ctrist church, that city, says this will do very well for sick people, but well people ought not to avail them selves of this lazy way of hearing the Gospel.
