FAILURE OP tHE WAILS THE ' REJLSO AND THE BEJIEDY, We pre below a Teller from Mr. M. V. Bailey, Superintendent e Railway Mail Service, with heqtiarters at Richmond, Va., which though not in tended for publication, a$ the writer says, we consider should be giyen to thejiublic, who are equally; Interested in its contents. Complaints have come , from all points on the line of which. Mr. Bailey has charge, an(f there will be general congratulations! -over the prospects of an early relief from the annoyances and. positive injury., to which business people especially have been subjected. Mr. Bailey says : I was abseat from Richmond for two days After your last letter was received Immediately uponfay return; I direct ed the postmaster at Charlotte to make tip t pouch daily forthe Western North Carolina Railroad, and to say to you that I would at once take such action as wtula prevent your papers being carried past destination. I wish to explain to you the reason -of so many delays to your papers for Srints on the Richmond & Danville ailroad and connecting routes. When the service was first organ ized between Richmond and New Or leans in the summer of 1879, a careful estimate was made of the number of postal cars required for the service, giving us a reasonable number for re serve in case of delays, accidents, &c. Up to last fall there were very few fail ures to have a postal car for the through line. Our men had thorough Jy learned the distribution, and the coni plaints incident to a new service ;bad almost entirely ceased.' The past ' autumn and" present winter have been, as you are Aware, very unfavorable te railroads. We have had accidents un- tiliBeverai of our ears have been dis- abled.'And while they were repaired as soon as possible, it left. us without cars over we roaa. un account of snows ana bad tracks, connections were miss ed, bringing out the same result, and an tqis has seriously affected the ser vice. The railroad companies are hav ing four more cars built as speedily as possible, and nromise thm to na th latter part of this month ; after we get them we shall have no more trouble on that account. As soon as the roads be come settled and the new schedules are made I do not think that any one can complain of the service. 1 desire to explain further that the mail can not be distributed without postal cars, and this is the reason why local offices and connecting lines do not get their mails regularly. I do not write this for nnblieatin : do not want any newspaper notoriety, especially suen as i nave nad lor the past two months, but I do desire a crnod service, and if lean once get it straight xwmnaveiu.-. 5 In this , connection we desire to ex plain to subscribers of The Observek on the Western North Carolina Rail road and at other points which receive mail from this road that Mr. Bailey nas consented, at the solicitation of the editor of this paper, to make up a special pouch at the Charlotte office, to be carried on the train which leaves this city at 4 a. m., amd which connects with the Western North Carolina Rail road at Salisbury. The Observer will oe sent in this pouch, and will thus reach its subscribers on this road and at Asheville on the day of its publication, twenty-four hours ahead of any other daily paper in North Carolina. Since the change of the schedules we have been subjected to the injustice of hav ing mails detained for a day at Salis bury, and what was equivalent to a day at Statesville, by which we were placed on exactly the same footing with papers published in New York, Washington and Baltimore. Having had this injus tice corrected, we can now promise that henceforth Tim Observer will be de livered in the western part of the State with all the regularity and dispatch the mail service affords. It should be added that Mr. Bailey be gan his efforts to make this arrange ment some days ago, and that the first pouch was forwarded Saturday morn ing. ' : IM I m I i i By the adoption of an act requiring a codification of the laws of the State, the Legislature responded to a demand universally expressed ' throughout the commonwealth; and the selection for this duty of Hon. Thomas Ruffin, of Hillsboro, Judge W. . P. Bynurn of Charlotte, and Mr. Jno, S. Henderson, of Salisbury, will no doubt prove emi nently satisfactory. In a work which depends for its value upon faithful study and most scrupulous care, coupled with legal ability, they cannot fail to prove equal to the duty. To Judge By num's natural qualifications for the po sition is added the additional fact that he is a Republican, a circumstance which is fortunate as tending to relieve the work of the charge of partisanship. In connection with the cotton milling business, now beginning to form so im portant aa. industry in the South, it is interesting to note that the New England mill stocks have been profita ble for the last two years to an extent which warrants the continued growth of this business. The following are the; quotation? of seme of the Tall River stocks: Barnard 125, dividend 12 per cent; Chace 140, dividend 10 per cent; King Philip 12 dividend 10 per cent-; Merchants 175, dividend 20 per cent; Osborn 140, dividend 12 per cent; JSagamore 133, dividend 10 per cent; Stafford 145dividend 16 per cent. ; Troy 200, dividend 24 per cent; Union 190, dividen d 20 per, cent. Carl Schurz is catching it on all hands from the Republican press, some going Wfarias to;speak of . him as a Dutch tramp with an ejaculatory pre fix or qualifying adjective intended to convey emphasis, and indignation. Schurz has never been in favor since he deserted the stalwart ranks for Greeley In 1872. The Raleigh papers of Saturday fail ed to reach here, and consequently the report of the proceedings of the Legis lature on Friday are omitted this morn ing. There is something wrong about the mails between Charlotte and Ral eigh which Is, not 'covered . by Mr. Bailey's explanation published elsewhere. It is observed that the emigration from the State still goes on, to a more or less extent as it has dene for several years, Greensbbre being one of Ithe points from which, the emigranta 1 start. And yet North Carolina not only noias her position in the census tables, but shows a greater percentage of increase than New York, Pennsylvania, Massa chusetts and Ohio, States which are by ho means lowest in the scale, w It is proper to state, that, . so far as now recollected, the charge whieh is explained by Studebaker Bros, in our advertising columns this morning, was not published by this paper. CONKLING AND BUTLER HITCH IN THE SENATE, YVkich Constitute the Host Interest-lug- Feature el the Day's Proceed' lng-s Washington, February 7. Senate. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, presented a remonstrance from the association of national banks of Eastern Pennsylva nia, against the passage of the House funding bill. Lamar, from the judiciary commit tee, reported favorably, with amend ments, making it operative after May 1st. 1881, the House bill to change the time for holding the United States cir cuit and district courts for the Western District of Viiginia, held at Danville. Passed. On motion of Mr. Morgan, Senators Hamlin and Thurman were appointed tellers for the Senate in the electoral count meeting. Butler, of South Carolina, spoke at considerable length upon the alleged census frauds in South Carolina, and criticised severely the speeches made by a certain stump orator (understood to be Conkling) in New York during the late presidential campaign, in which that stump orator insulted and vilified the , people of South Carolina and ac cused them of conspiracy to fraudu lently increase the census enumeration in order to obtain greater political power. The falsity and baseaess of the accusation, Uutier said, were shown by the results of the recent enumeration under the direction of Gen. Walker, who was a itepuuncan ana also a gen tleman. At the conclusion of Butler's re marks, Conkling Baid he inferred, from the little he had heard of the gentle man's speech, that it was designed as an attack upon himself and he had ouly to say that- the vaporing of the senator irom boutii Carolina gave him little concern. If he had done injustice to tne people 01 bouth Carolina he would find a seasonable occasion to correct it. Butler: The Senator has said the vaporings of the Senator from South Carolina are matters of no concern to him. He will pardon me for saying that the swaggering insolence of the Senator from New York is of no con cern to me. Conkling: "I do not need to have heard the Senator in order to ascertain that he is a person with whom I do not choose to bandy epithets here or else where, and least of all here ; and there fore I have nothing to add to that which I have before said. The colloquy here ended and the sub ject was dropped. The Senate then resumed the consid eration of the pension appropriation bill, the question being upon the amendment reported by Mr. Withers from the pensions committee .for the local pension courts, being the sixty surgeons bill. The Senate decided without division that the amendment was not in order. Mr. Plumb maved an amendment appropriating S200.000 to provide for fifty additional examiners for the pen sion office and for a clerical force neces sary for the pension, adjutant-generals and surgeon-generals office t render effective the work of said examiners. Without action on this amendment the Senate adjourned. , - House. After personal explanations by Speer and Hammond, of Georgia? relative to some remarks made, by the latter on Saturday, the Speaker pro ceeded to call the States for bills, etc. At the conclusion of the call of States the Speaker announced the appoint ment of House, of Tennessee, and Crow ley, of New York, as tellers on the Dart of the House to make a list of votes declared for President and Vice-Presi dent on Wednesday next. Among the bills introduced and ap propriately referred, under the call of States, were the following: .By Kobeson, of New Jersey, express ing sraypathey with the Boers of TraBs vaal in their endeavor to recrain their independence. By Gillette, of Iowa, expressing sym pathy with the Irish people. Aiken, or sioutn Carolina, moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill making the Agricultural Department an executive department. The Home. however, refused to susDend the rule lor this purpose. On motion of Frve. of Main?, the rules were suspended and the . Senate bill was passed amending the laws re lating te the seizure and forfeiture of vessels for breach of the revenue laws. Reagan, of Texas, moved to susnend the rules and pass the river and harbor appropriation bill. The question was raised whether Reagan, in his individ ual capacity, had a right te ask a sus pension of the rules on this bill. The Speaker decided that he had, The de mand for a suspension of the rules was then seconded 122 to 72. Oox snoke in eDnosition to th hilt charging that more than half of t.h $11,000,000, appropriated by it was giv en to the States represented by the members of the commerce committee who reported it. He said hn was on- posed to national appropriation for the improvement of every little creek in the country. lieagan closed the debate in a five minutes speech in which he asserted that the bill appropriated less than40 per cent, of the estimates. Referring to Cox's remark that the States repre sented oa the commerce committee had obtaUed a large portion of the ap propriation, he called attention to the fact that fifteen States were represent ed on that committee and those States were the ones in which the largest rivers and harbors were situated. A motion to suspend the rules and Pss the bill - was then rejected yeas 160, nays 86 not necessary two-thirds in the affirmative.- Whitthorne, of Tennessee, introduced a bllr aPJPrFiatIn $175,000 to be ex pended by the Navy Department for the Purpose of prosecuting the search for the Jeannette. Referred. The House then adjourned. TELEGRAPHIC SPARKS.
