L,eg;iitlatora on the Bailroad Prob lem Durham County Not to Be Otber matters ef Interest. Special Correspondence of The Observer: Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 25. The rail road question of freights and passenger fare has had the House off the track a couple of days, and very little else was done than a confusion of efforts to de cide upon some sort of a bill. Finally, yesterday, the House settled down with three readings on a substitute from the committee on internal improvements, which provided that the Legislature should appoint a commissioner with a salary of $2,500 the first year, to have nis orace in Kaieigh. and. on vacancv his place to be filled by appointment from the Governor, and constituting the Attorney-General his lecal adviser. with an increased salary of $200 a year. Mr. Day amended, making three com missioners instead or one. and Mr. Hicks, colored, tacked an amendment to that, providing that each politic! party should be represented on the commission, and both amendments were adopted, and the bill rode through to die, no doubt, a quick death in the Senate; for ten men can play an accor deon where one can be found to legis late a people's tariff for running rail roads, laxmg dogs is simpler. DURHAM COUNTY was the special order in the Senate, yesterday. The discussion began at 12 o clock and ended at 3. when the Senate adjourned and the county went.over as uunnisnea ousiness, to come up tnis morning. Messrs. Stables and Glnn spoke for the bill. Both are good speak ers and were at their Dest. The speech of Mr. Parrish. who foueht the bill alone, I hear on all sides, was applaud ed. This morning it appeared as- un- nnisned business, and was defeated by a vote oi 'J.1 to 10. LISTING DOGS. A hill IiasSPfl t.h Rnnso laaf nirrVif introduced by Mr. Smedes, allowing an annual tax oi $1.00 on dogs, so as to make them a subject of larceny. The bill was at the instance of parties who own a fine breed of dogs, and wish by listing them, to be guaranteed the same right of action against a thief as for stealing any other property. Of course if any man has a dog he doesn't care to list, it makes no difference, but is alone for those who choose to pay $1.00 to maKe tneir dogs property. DIM FORESHA DO WINGS. In the Senate the other day the bill was up providing for the erection of a liovernor s mansion. Mr. Bernard was decidedlv for it. He said it might be the honorable Presi dent oi the Senate the first man to oc cupy it, or it might be the beloved Sena tor from Wayne the favored one. He didn't think the present executive cared or expected to occupy it. Mr. Cunningham said he did not know Gov. Jarvis feelings on the sub ject, but he did know that Mrs. Jarvis would be the happiest woman in the world to occupy it. Mrs. Jarvis was in the gallery at the time and smiled at the Senator s gallant Dleasantrv. Mr. Spears, Republican, was for build ing a good mansion, for he thought a itepuuiican would be the nrst to occu py it. CRIMINAL COURTS. Bill for establishing criminal courts in Buncombe, Iredell, Mecklenburg, x orsytne, nowan, uavidson, (iuilford, Anson, Chatham, Cumberland. Wake. Granville, Warren, Northampton, Hali fax.Bertie, Martin, Pitt, Beaufort,Edge- comoe. uraven, (ireen, L,enoir, Wayne, jjupun, oampson, noDeson, wnson ana Washington counties. The House rained down amend ments, different members asking their counties to be struck trom the bill. Mr. Smedes offered as a substitute that the number of Superior Court judges be increased to twelve. Mr. Glenn, of Rockingham, and Mr. Bledsoe, of Wake, offered amendments that no member of the present Legis lature should be appointed a judge or noia omce under the Dill, uther amend ments were offered leaving it to the quaunea voters of the countries in which they should be established. Mr. Manning and Mr. Bovkin have spoken for the bill, and Mr. Leak, of Anson, is now speaking against it he thought if any further privilege as this was extended to the east the Democrat ic party two years hence would shake in its boots. Clancy. A FAREWELL RECEPTION. Brilliant Scene at the White House Entertaining he Diplomatic Corps. Washington, Feb. 24. The farewell reception to the diplomatic corps was given this evening at the White House by President and Mrs. Hayes. It was a grand affair, though the toilets of the ladies were not so extravagant as at the reception last year. The radies were warned by the crowding at that time, and there was a marked modera tion in dress. Mrs. Hayes was attired in a pearl-col ored satin, with square-cut neck and passementerie necklace of beads. The front of the dress was ot light brown brocaded satin. She was assisted by Mrs.-Cb.iGf Justice Waite, Miss Lucy Cook; Hrs; XiOring, MiSs Deshler and Miss Green, of Columbus, Ohio. There were, only four or live mem bers of- the House of Representatives g resent, though over one hundred had een invited. The rest were locked trp in the House at the capitol, unable to get ont ' As each. Congressman is ac companied by from two to four ladies, it can be guessed in a moment that there are from 300 to 500 disappointed society ladies ia the city. -vAs the memoirs t)f ther House came out of. the Executive Mansion they were captured byIr.IIill, the. Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms placed under arrest and escorted to Congress, the ladies be ing sent kome in carriages.

It was thought that the prestigeof Gen. Grant's name as president of tiwoommisaion would give an impetus the movement, but it has not. At the regular meeting of the commisson in New York on Wed nesday last Gen. Grant occupied the chair, and called attention to the fact that the subscriptions were coming so slowly that he had great apprehension, he said, as to the raising of the neces sary funds, v Some persons, he added, when approached object to the site, others to the manner in which the com mission Is conduc ted, and the tone is generally "discouraging about the matter. The only suggestions offered to rouse the New York people from their apathy were to make another ef fort to get the Central Park commis sioners to allow the use of a part of the park for the exposition, and to make an appeal to the State and city for sub scriptions to the exhibition fund. Four millions of dollars are required to put the exhibition on a footing of success. Of this sum considerbly less than one million of dollars has been subscri. bed. The committees apposited to sell shares of stock in the association find but few takers. Alto gether the tone of the meeting was gloomy and desponding, and the feeling appeared to be general that unless something was done to raise an inter est in the exposition, or unless the State and city of New York came to the rescue, the whole scheme must fall through. Methodist TOlnintera on Prayer Cure. At the annual meeting of the Metho dist ministers of the Springfield Mass., district Tuesday there were discussions on "Conscience in Religion7' and "Social Life in the Church," but the principal discussion which occupied nearly two hours, was on "Faith and Healing." Two or three of the ministers held to the doctrine that prayer was effectual in healing the sick, and that persons were sometimes raised tohealth through faith in prayer but the majority el the speak ers evidently believed that such cures were wholly the result of imagination and will. Dr. Ela discouraged the es tablishment of faith homes and hospi tals, as he did not believe that cures by miracles could be reduced to a sience, or that God would gave special healing power to any person or institution. Rev. .Frederick Woods went so lar as to say that he thought it would be just as well to ask the Lord for a fortune of $50,000, as for a sick man to pray for restoration to health. His belief seem ingly is that the Lord does not interfere in temporal matters.only in the affairs to thejsoul. A layman rose toward the close meeting and said to the ministers that he had been comforted in the past by their preaching, but what they had said there that atternoon aoout tne uselessness of prayer . and the real souce of results he had been in the hab it of regarding as answers to prayer had greatly shaken his taith. New Electric Lamp. A new electric lamp, which may not unfairly be considered a modification of the Werdermann lamp has, been pro duced by Bouteilleux and Laing, of Paris. The upper carbon is annular, and has in its center a refractory insula tor filling up the entire space. The di ameter of this carbon is four or five times greater than that of the lower one. which has no retractory core. A magnetiosregulator placed in a cham ber areund the holder of the lower car bon maintains a uniform distance be tween the two carbons. The arc has a regular movement around the periphe ry of the carbon from left to right in varablv. It is said that this lamp gives a remarkably steady light of about 125 Uarcel burners. The snail carDon is ao inches in diameter, and about twenty inches of its length is consumed in twelve hours. The larger carbon has l . A C he : 1 wUK 1 n a uiauieier ui .10 lutu, mm iu mvu diameter of insulating core, and only four inches of its length is consumed in twelve hours. This lamp costs about S3 or 54. Anomalies of our Poplatlou. Baltimore Sun. The completed tabulation of the population of the United States, as giv en in the tsun on Saturday, yieias some Curious results. The excess of males over females in the country is 888,298, or 1.T7 per cent. The proportion of for eigners to native born is over 10 ni iuu; and the same proportion exists be tween our white and colored population In fact, the difference between our for-eigh-born population and our colored population, as the returns are made, is only 9,209 in favor of the foreign popu lation, and the returns of the last cen sus seem to show that the colored people increase more rapidly than the general population of the country. Of course these figures are invalidated to some extent by the defects in taking the cen sus of 1870, which are now generally acknowledged to have been "short' es pecially as regards the South, where the mass of the colored population is con gregated. A Jailer Brain Knocked Out. Anderson, February 24. A brutal murder was committed in- the jail at Hartwell. Ga.. last night. When T. V. Skelton, the jailer, went to the jail in the performance of his duties his brains were knocked out bv a prisoner, wno made his escape, and, it is thought, crossed into South Carolina. The mur derer is a very tall black, negro with distinct small-pox marks and with a double thumb on his right hand, by which marks he may be easily identi fied. A' Great Billiard match. A matchihas been made between Shaf er and Slosson, three thousand points to four thousand. The match grew out of an offer of Dick Roach, a St Lou is Sportsman, to back Shafer against any man in the world at any billiard game. The New York friends of Slos son at once accomodated him. It is ex pected that the match, will be played within six weeks, in the Academy of Music or Booth's Theatre, Now York. AQnick Poet. Norrlstown Herald.
