We allude to this subject tc-lay more p racularly to refer to the issue of the Weekly Observer which goes out to its readers this week. It has now the largest bona fide circulation of any paper in North Carolina, with pos sibly three or four exceptions. As it has no canvassing agents it has won its way to popular favor by sheer force of merit. It is now the largest paper in the State, and this week, of its fifty columns, forty-three of them bristle with the news of the past week. It is just such a paper as deserves a wel come iu every North Carolina home, where it is impossible to get a daily in its stead, and its steady increase in cir culation since 1874, when it first took form and shape under substantially its present management is unmistakable evidence of its popularity. , Judged by a critical standard there is little room for improvement in excel lence, but there is still room for a few more subscribers, and if our friends will only take the trouble they could easily more than double its circulation and usefulness by increasing the num ber of its readers. Journalism is a pro fession as much if not more intricate than either of the other learned profes sions, and if popularity may safely be measured by success the Weekly Ob server is all that the term implies. The Daily Observer is a very costly experi ment,and the only wonder conected with its publication is that it has been kept up to the standard erected by its man agement iff 1874, but when it irconsid erei that in the expense of conducting th3 Daily nearly all of the expenses of publishing the Weekly are met as well as incurred, it will be seen how easily it is possible to excel most of the country weekly papers, and still keep within the reach of subscribers in the matter of the subscription price. While The Observer is a party jour nal, owing and claiming allegiance and fealty to the great Democratic party, it claims to be independent in the expres sion of its views, and hews to the line no matter where the chips fall. The time was when Old Tom Tlitchie issued his political brutum fulmen, from the sanctum of the old Richmond Enquirer, in the shape of a party manifesto, and the Democratic party of the nation bowed its submission. These times are past. There is a general spread of in telligence among the masses of the pec pie, and they crave the news, asking at the same time to be allowed to form their own opinions. In nothing is this more apparent than the smashing of political slates as arranged by design ing politicians. In old times, nomina tions for public office were mainly de termined by wire-pulling, and the check-book of the nominee, and the vote of conventions and political syndicates, so-called, was merely the result of cer tain previous moves on the political chess-board, where pawns, bishops, knights and castles, were exchanged for others of like value. Sly and covert measures in the interest of the person al or political aggrandizement of some wire-puller, were openly advocat ed, and conventions, as well as the bal lot boxes were made to record the de liberations of secret conclaves. The average man went to the cross-roads politician to find out how to vote on any given question, and nine times out often this individual had been pre viously furnished with a cabalistic key to show him on which side his interests could best be subserved. To-day the independent newspaper, far-reaching in its influence, goes out into the high-ways and by-ways of poli tics, and appeals to the intelligence of the masses of the people. The remarka ble growth of the independent press in this country within the last decade or so, is evidence of the wonderful growth of independent thought and action among the intelligent and thoughtful masses. Prior to the new civilization which has been left to us a3 a. legacy of the war an independent newspaper was a caricature upon the profession of jour nalism, and an unknown quantity in a partisan political contest. To-day men of both parties seek its columns for in formation, and not for opinions. To day it is sought by all leaders of parties to find out in which direction political opinion is .likely to crystalize. The mission and opportunities of such a journal have beenj very much enlarged and improved ofer the former mere party journals that simply registered the decrees or political machines. It is because The Observer within certain prescribed political boundaries, Dossesses this merit m an eminent de crree that it has gained the weight, influence and popularity which it now enjoys. Bowing before the will 0f no man or clique, and fighting its battles under the standard of truth its mission has been enlarged,' success assured, and it stands toay to the Democratic nariv of North Carolina as beacon Ktht to ware the Democratic voters of ,1a onwMrd.jpww . nSSWS&W for" ;iHS-S .

This dispo- sition has been growing for Bayera! vears. ana tne Aaiutant-uenerai naa done much to encourage it by annually ordering out the State Guard for pa rade. If there is any day in the calen dar iof North Carolina history that should be observed, it is the .20th: if any deed that should be commemora ted, it is that performed a Buifdred and We cannot afford to al low these deeds to be fergotlewfhor th- anniversaries to pass by unnoticed. There will always be. found those who can see, or affect4o-be able to see, no good to come out of such observances,and imay be true that there is no profit-in them, of the kind measured by the yard stick,bul fortunately thisls not the stand ard of public good, as it is notof private worth. Immortal doctrines and heroic deeds are at the:basis of our history as a free commonwealth. Full of utility as is their outcome, and abundant podj widely-scattered as are their benenccnt practical results, they have, beside, a. eharm for the .imagination, and tuey carry an inspiration to sturdy loyalty. An incitement to earnest maintenance of the institutions which make this country what it is for us, is found in a frequent recurrence to the early events in its career. The self-sacrificing devo tion and nobility of spirit of our revo lutionary forefathers may be exaggera ted in the popular belief; but, even if the belief be an illusion, after all there is nothing to be gained by a disenchant ment. It is well for men to have some thing human to venerate even if they have to look back a hundred years or more to find it A very important meeting impor tant to the people of this section of North Carolina was to have been held in New York yesterday. It has been for some time a somewhat open secret that the owners of the Richmond & Danville Railroad have been trying to effect the purchase of the Atlanta & Charlotte Air-Line. These negotiations by previous arrangement, were to have culminated yesterday, one way or the other. This we have from persons h re who are in a position to know. Should the sale be made as contemplated, it would put an end to the Virginia Mid land scheme of building a connection to Charlotte. Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, the most ardent of Tilden's supporters, is in New York, having a private conference with the old man. He tells a New York World reporter that he has dined with Mr, Tilden every day for a week, but he has not seen any one cut up the food for the old man once, although, when alone he may have such assistance in getting the good square meal Henry knows he is still able to eat. Those who put their trust in the story of the old man's paral ysis will be hopelessly deceived. Whether or not the recent bolt of the Grant delegates in Chicago was a bril liant piece of political mancevering, so far as the vote of Illinois is concerned, it is admitted that it has very seriously affected the ex-President's chances in other parts of the' country. In Wash ington there is serious talk of with drawing him from the race, but as the Post remarks, like Macbeth, he is in so far that whether he goes over or turns back makes little difference. The Associated Press dispatch pub- ished yesterday announcing that the House committee on public buildiners lad recommended an appropriation for a public building in Charlotte, did not' givethe amount of the appropriation. A letter to the Baltimore Sun says the sum is 8100,000. The public building in taleigh cost, we believe, something like 3-100,000, but we can manage things here better than they do in Raleigh, and would be satisfied with a building cost ing 8100,000, if that sum be judiciously expended. . , The New York Tribune epitomizes the Grant boom when it asserts: "One end of the third term combination rest ed on the solid South and the other end on the unit rule, and both supports have broken under the pressure."

The first important measure yet brought before the body is a communi cation from the Edgecombe County Medical Society, the substance of which is to punish, by a fine of 850, or impris onment for not less than ninety days, any one found guilty of the misdV meanor of practicing medicine or sur gery in this btate contrary to the statute which incorporated the State Medical Society and established the State Board of Medical Examiners.

A vote on the amendment resulted 51 to 32, and the point of no quorum was raised by Baker. A can oi tne roil was then ordered, which showed the presence of a quorum. The question recurred upon the amendment, which Garfield characterized as the moon shine amendment, and it was agreed to, 81 to 6S. Pending further debate the committee rose and the .session of Wednesday came to a close and that or Thursday was commenced. Herbert, of Alabama, asked unani mous consent to take from the Speak ers desk the Senate bill appropriating $40,000 for the erection of a public building at Montgomery, Ala. A re-, quest of this character is very rarely granted when it relates to a bill of this mportance.md Herbert felt much com plimented when his request was grant ed and the bill passed. At 3:15 the House went into commit tee of the whole on the legislatiye ap propriation bill. After considering the bill as lar as tne 40tn page, witnouc making any changes, the committee rose and the House took a recess until 7:30 p. m., the evening session to be for consideration of the reports from the committee on Indian affairs. senate. Gordon presented a memo rial of the Press Association of Georgia in reference to the oppressive duty on pulp. Referred. Blair presented the views of the mi nority of the committee on the alleged frauds in the late election on the subject of disfranchisement in Rhode Island. Laid on the table. Piatt said as he was not now a mem ber of that committee, lie could not sign the minority report, but as a form er member thereof he wished to slate that he fully concurred in the report. The hill to abolish all tolls on the Louisville and Portland canal after Julv l, I860, was read a third time and passed. The bill to provide additional accommodations for the congressional library was taken up and discussed, but at the expiration of the morning hour went over without action. The Senate then resumed the consid eration of the Kellogg-Spofford resolu tions, Mr. Hampton, of South Carolina, having the floor. Mr. Hampton said he was not a lawver, but proiosed to dis cuss the matter on generally recognized principles of justice and right, endeav oring to free himself from partisan feeling. There were cases, and this was one, where Senators should lay aside sectional prejudices and party alle giance. He did not impute to Mr. Spof ford or his friends any improper mo tives, and therefore he "was pained to differ from them and from his party associates with whom lie held so many views in common. They would at least credit him with sincerity in this differ ence. Mr. Kellogg's credentials were presented in January, 1877, and referred to acomnnttee in March ; Mr. Spofford s were presented in October. Both par ties consented to the consideration of certain evidence taken by other inves tigating committees. The Senate also passed a resolution authorizing the committee to take full and original evi dence. There was no doubt that the committee has full authority to inves tigate all the merits of the case. Mr. Spofford at one time filed a request for more evidence which was denied by the committee on the ground that suflicient testimony had been tak en. This ruling Mr. Hampton thought unjust, but it was undoubtedly fully competent for the committee to decide wnen to stop taKing testimony, it a committee abuses its power in this ru spect, an appeal can be taken. The Senate at that time announced its de liberate judgment that Mr. Kellogg was entitled to uis seat, yet it is now ciaimed that that action had no binding effect. Mr. Hampton could not admit the principle that the settlement of the contested case on its merits could be overthrown at will upon the accession or a majority of a different party If this case can be re-heard now, what is to prevent its being heard again and again t in all litigation there must be some end of the strife, and iu the spirit of - law, this case should rest where it is. Mr. Hampton then cited a number of authorities and precedents in this coun try and England to show that it was a well established principle that when a case was once settled upon its merits, it could not be re-opened. The conse quences of leaving titles to seats for ever open to question were more disas trous than to have an occasional case wrongly settled. The whole weight of authority seemed to him-(Hampton) to snow that the Senate acted judiciously and that its action was final. He had carefully avoided the political aspect of the case. He dared not trust himself to enter too deeply into that question All his sympathies were with the con testant and with the State of Louisiana, which had suffered so great a wrong; but the Senate had no power to redress the wroncr: time.the great healer, could alone assuage her wounds. He hoped the reoDle of that State with whom his own people had so much in common, would not miscontrue nis action. At the conclusion of Hampton's SDefech Carpenter took the floor and oc cupied the remainder of the afternoon with an argument m support oi ivei logg's rights to the seat. The Senate men aajourneu. The debate will be continued to-mor row by Pendleton, . who obtained the floor at the conclusion of Carpenter's re Lmarks. COMMITTEES.

The Infernal Little Xrick Sent by Mail to tne New York Spanish CouhuI Geiternl. ' New York, May 13. A dastardly at tempt was made yesterday by some par ty or parties to kill Spanish Consul General Hypolito d'Uriaste. It appears that when his letters were brought to his office among them was a package about 8 inches by 3. The consul at tempted to open it when it exploded and balls of fire shot out, burning the carpet and the consul's coat and hands, but doing no other damage. An ex amination showed that the box con tained gun powder, large percussion caps, an dwhat was supposed to be nitro glycerine, and arranged to explode when the top was taken off. It was post-marked Philadelphia and New York, and supposed to be a Cuban plot to kill the Spanish othcial. Tbe Town of Sluyvesant, New York, Burned. Hudson, N.

Thf General Conference Election of Officer. Cincinnati, May 18. The General Conference to-day voted to elect two missionary secretaries, and to author ize the board of managers to employ such additional assistance as they deem necessary. The election of these secre taries proceeded by ballot, in the same man ii( r as for Bishops. The hrst bal- ot resulted in the choice of Kev. Dr. J. M. Iteed, the present incumbent, and Kev. C. II. Fowler. A ballot was then taken for corresponding secretary of the Church Extension Society, the can didates being Kev. A.J.Kynett. the present incumbent, and Kev. Homer Eaton. The result will be announced at the next session of the conference. The KnglisU Striker. London, May 13. About 12,000 wea- ers at Blackburn struck yesterday, and afgreat part or the remainder will pro bably quit work to-day, but the element of bitterness which characterized the last strike is not present in this one, nor is it certain that a majority of weavers would have decided in favor of the strike had the question been submitted to a ballot. An early disintegration ot the strike is therefore expected. YVefcl Virginia Republican. Wheeling, May 13. A. W. Campbell was elected delegate at lar see. A con test occurred in the selection of dele gates in the third district. Two re ports were made, the majority by the Sherman men and the minority by the Blaine men.
