' There is not the slightest doubt that there is a political movement on foot to wrest North Carolina from the Demo cratic party, but it will not be exactly a Mahone movement ; that is, the Repub licans do not propose fur the aid they can get from the Independents to sur render to the Independents. Whatever surrendering is to be done must be done by the new recruits, who will be taken in out of the wet and probably receive, or at least be promised, an equivalent for any service they may render their Republican allies. Just how many or what the class of these recruits will fall into line remains to be seen, but thus far the engineers of the movement have not given us any figures nor any names of note. They have won none whose following would make bartering much of an object. The fact is that while there is a disposition to parley with Democrats who may be approach able, the leaders of the Republican par ty claim to have confidence in their ability to carry the State without much outside leadership, fancying they see elements of weakness in the ranks of the Democracy which will give them the vantage ground in the next cam paign. , While we are far from conceding that they have as easy a thing as they claim, it must be confessed that circumstances are more favorable to them now than they have been for some years, and that it will require both hard work and good management on the part of our party managers to hold the State. There is lack of unity in the Democratic party, but there is also lack of unity amongst the leaders of the opposition, the difference being, however, that as much as they may wrangle before the election they generally manage to pull together when the solid work of the contest is to be put in. They have or ganization which we lack, and implicit ly obey orders when the orders are given. The solid colored vote to start with, and the army of Federal office holders to do the work required, and pay assessments needed, gives them a very decided advantage to begin with, for they can count on a reliable number of votes to begin with, so that their work need be devoted to gathering in enough straggles to make up the margin between the number assured and the majority. They have figured on this and count ing on a certain amount of indifference or defection ,in the Democratic ranks they think they can control enough of stragglers to overcome the Democratic majority, and hence are not disposed to play second fiddle to the Independents, whose services they do not consider a necessity. They will, however, welcome all who come and greet them into the republican wigwam, when they can talk backwards and come in perhaps for some of the pickings in a small way. Louisville Courier-Journal : "Up to the utmost limits of national authori ty "says the Philadelphia American, "we must protect the black man against all invasions of his rights." While the black man's alleged grievances are thus receiving the attention of the Re publican party on paper, there are 40, 000 white men in Rhode Island who are deprived of the right of suffrage and are clamoring every day for their rights, but they get no hearing. The Atlanta Constitution estimates the attendance at the exposition at 250,000Jpeople. The cost was $260,000, $150,000 of which was' put into build ings and emprovements,and the balance on printihg, running expenses, etc. The receipts were from $220,000 to $250,000, of which $115,000 came from stock,$15, 000 from entry-fees, $90,000 from gate receipts, and $5,000 from dther sources. Railroads prosper in spite of poor crops and bad weather. The Financial Chronicle shows that the earnings of thirty-four railway companies during the first two weeks in December were $253pefkmile, against $235 for the same period last year. The official reports of theGuiteau trial, up to Wednesday's proceedings, make 1,775 printed pages, and, with the arguments, the full report of the trial will make a' volume of above 2,000 pages. The cost to the government for this item alone will be about $5,000. A Straw, showing in what direction Northern capital is seeking investment, is seen in the" announcement that a Philadelphia capitalist has taken $0, 000 of stock in the Adams cotton fac tory, of Montgomery Ala., soon to be put in operation. The Richmond Whig says it don't re gard the D. D. at the end of a man's name with one whit more reverence than it does the curl on a hogs tail. The way titles are conferred these days some of the D.

How much longer is the farce to be continued of making dollars with only 85 cents worth of silver in them? Philadelphia Enquirer. And they won't circulate simply be cause people who have been combining to have silver demonetized have done everything in theft pbwertS prevent them from circulating.; After the pas sage of the act re-monetizing silver the opponents of that measure set them selves deliberately to work " to throw every impediment in the way of the circulation of the silver dollar. Instead of being paid out as they might have been, they were hoarded up in the trea sury under the pretense that they were not wanted in circulation, while many o! the banks refused to take them. If it were not for the conspiracy against silver there would be but little of those 800 tons lying idle in the vaults at New York or anywhere else. IN THE SENATE. - , DAVID DAVIS MJKUENOER8 FOR A DAY.TO SENATOR GARLAND. Senator Jones want to know Some thing about tne Florida swamp Lands Sherman's tnree per cents Hoar makes an Explanation Darts goes for the Pension Frauds. Washington, January 6. Senate. President pro tern, Davis, a few minutes after the assembling of the Senate vacated the chair for a day toGar land. A number of resolutions were intro duced and referred, among them the following; By Maxey : Instructing the secretary of the Interior to furnish a report, u any of the survey of the United States and Texas boundry commission, made under the act of June 5th, 1881, and if no final report of said commission was made, he wiil report that fact together with maps, surveys and reports of the works bo for as prosecuted. lie explained that purpose of the act of 1858 ; was to ascertain the time the northern Texas Dounaary, mat is to say what is the main Red River line, as laid down on the Mellish map of January l, 1818, by which the boundary was fixed between the United States and Mexico under the treaty of 1828. , The work of the commissson showed nothing definite on that point. Texas claimed the north bank and the interior department of the south.f ork of Red riv er to be the true Red River, according to the Mellish map. The resolution was adopted. By Jones of Florida: Calling on the secretary of the Interior for informa tion relating to the sections of swamp lands in Florida, in violation of the law, whether or not any investigation of the subject has been had under his authority, whether any of the State officers are involved , and have been no tified of the fact and also whether upon the facts the whole matter ought not to be investigated by Congress. Jones said he had seen it stated in the public press and in one paper as if coming irom iub twicuur wj in terior, that the State officers of Florida had been connected with a riDg, which was engaged in making selections of land in the State unlawfully. He knew nothing of the facts but from his knowledge of the persons re fered to he believed there was no foun dation for the statement. In justice to them he would favor an investigation of the matter. The resolution was a dopt ed. Sherman moved to take up his three per cent, bond bill. McPherson objected and gave notice of an amendment making bonds re deemable after January 1st, 1891, in stead of payable after January 1st, 1887, and extend the time of payment to thirty years from date of issue. Plumb gave notice of an amendment directing the use of all funds now held in the treasury for the redemption of United States notes in excess of $100, 000,000 for redemption of theSper cents. Hoar obtaining leave to make a state ment, reading a newspaper cutting which he had received in a letter of a correspondent. It asserted that as chair man of the Senate committee on claims. Senator Hoar was sending out letters to representatives- of Southern claims which bad been presented to Congress, stating that the Republicans in Con gress are not opposed to the payment of Southern claims, but on the contrary favor the payment where claims are just; that he invited the sending on of proofs, and that his course was an un usual one for even a conservative Re publican. He said he had not thus far in his political life felt compelled to contradictor explain any ridiculous statement in regard to himself, but he had received so many letters from In terested parties concerning these claims he would now say he was not chairman of the committee on claims, that he had written no letter to warrant such state ment, and so far as he knew had writ ten none on the subject. It was possi ble that in reply to a correspondent he had stated that claims from any quar ter would receive due consideration by the proper committee, and that as com mittees were in the habit of acting on such things judicially, claimants nad better send their proofs, but he had written nothing of the kind described in the article. The calendar was then taken, np and occupied the day, the morning, .hour being extended for. its consideration. Several resolutions, including one for the Woman Suffrage, Committee, were passed over because, of the absence of senators interested in them. Resolution of December 13th, offered by Davis of West Virginia, relating to pension frauds, calling for statements of their nature and character, what amount of arrears has been paid, the number of cases added to the pension roll under the "Arrears Act," &c, &c, next came up. Some discussion ensued upon an amendment by Edmunds, striking out the direction to the Secretary of the In terior to report his opinion upon such legislation as he thought advisable. Finally the resolution as modified by Edmunds's amendment was adopted. The. Senate at f.45 p.m. adjourned un til Monday.1 t " ' o Committee on Appropriations Washington, Jan. 6.

Bontes, Washington, Jan. 4. Congress as sembles to-morrow and the third house is already on hand. Among the mem bers just now oi tnis latter aitacnment, which is not mentioned in the constitu tion, by the way, but which possesses much more influence sometimes than those that are, are some citizens of North Carolina. The peaceful disposi tion of the average Tar Heeler is weli known. So when he wanders so far from his native heath, you may depend uDon it that business is impending, so f arMr. Jos. P. Hester, of Oxford, an A. J. Kuffin, of Hillsboro, constitute th advance guard or tne uxorta uarouna brigade. The rest are coming, and it is understood that as lively a light over who shall be the power in the old North State, as was ever waged in or out of its barders, will be fought here this win ter. What faction will come on top is not known, nor what leader will be se lected to dispense the patronage but certain it will be a stalwart. If gossip is to be believed a number or oaanges are already decided upon.' The" Char lotte mint which has for fifteen years been under the present superintendent Calvin J. Cowles, with a salary of $2r 500 per annum, attached, has at last aroused the cupidity of Mr. R. M. Nor meht, at least the salary has and it is understood that he is a strong candi date for the place. . His papers-which are in this city have the signatures of a many good people r upon them..; His friends say that Mr. Cowles is an old fogy, and that the mint would h&rede-' veloped long ago had it had some man at its head, who had thetmsb and 4rim that the place required. If these same people are to be Believed Mr Norment possesses in a high degree the qualities that Mr. Cowles is alleged to lack. But while Mr. Notmentls pushing ins fight quietly, weli informed Republicans here say that Mr. Cowles is not the kind of a man to allow grass to grow under his feet, when the retention of his office is the price of vigilance. In the fifth district there is also brewing a fight which is likelv to last all winter. Geo. B. Ever- ittis at present collector land unfortu nately for him there are several other men in the same district who desire his shoes. At the time Everitt was ap pointed ii was generally understood that it was at Snerman's instigation, who said when he called on Hayes, that - there was only one matter outside of Ohio in which be took a personal in terest, and that was that Everitt be gives the posiiien of collector in place oi a mail wuum ouciiunu vuum uvu manage in his fight for the Republican nomination. So Everitt' was appoint-, ed, and Reuben F.Trogden of Rocking ham county, Joseph. Jr. Causey, county, treasurer of &allf ord county, and others went on his bond. . These two latter gentlemen are now understood to have withdrawn from his bond and J. R. Ireland and J. E. McCauley and Mr. Trogden are both understood to be candidates for Mr. Everitt's position, and as he basso identified himself with Sherman, in these days of stalwartism, it is not improbable that he may be re lieved. The distillers,too,who are repre sented as being dissatisfied with' his business qualifications or lack of them, are moving against him. To men up a tree it promises to be a most interesting fight, and we can say in the language of Shakespeare or Bob Iogersol, "the devil take the hindmost" The number of bills introduced in the House has been so great that not until to-day were they all printed. Among the bills introduced by mem bers from North Carolina was one by Mr. Dowd in reference to building a court house at Charlotte which reads as follows: Be it enacted-by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the sum of one hundred thousand dol lars be, and the same is hereby appro priated, out of any moneys in the Trea sury not otherwise appropriated, for the purpose of erecting a United States court-house and post-office in the city of Charlotte, North Caroliua, to be expen ded under the direction of the Super vising Architect of the Treasury De partment Sec 2. That this act shall take effect from and after its passage. Mr. Dowd also introduced a bill to prevent frauds in allowing contracts: That section thirty-nine hundred and fifty of the Revised Statutes of the United States be amended by inserting after the word Contract" in the sixth line of said section,- the following: "Or who shall not be a bona-fide resi dent of the State or Territory in which is one at least of the termini of the route embraced in such contract." . Mr. Vance introduced a bill apprppri atinar $75,000 for the erection of a fire proof building for court house and post office at Ashvil.e; also appropriating $5,000 for establishing signal stations on Mount Mitchell. Mr. Vance introduced a bill to repeal the duty on salt also to refer the claims of the Western; Cherokees to the Court of Claims for adjudication ' Mr. Scales introduced a bill: To re fund to distillers of brandy from ap ples, peaches, or grapes all of the special taxes paid by such distillers under the act of July twentieth, eighteen hundred and sixty-eight, - which is in excess of fifty dollars. After stating the reasons the bill provides that any distiller who has paid a special tax of $400 collected under act of July 20th, 1868 upon presentation of such proof to the Secretary of the Treasury as shall satisfy him as to the payment of said four hundred dollars, to refund to said distiller or his legal re presentative all of said special tax so paid to the government as shall be in excess of fifty dollars, the amount as sessed after October eleventh, eighteen hundred and sixty-eight i --i Mr. Scales introduced i a bill to allow district Judges in the same circuit to interchange districts, subject to appro val of the circuit judge, with a proviso that no iudee should be absent from his own circuit longer than a year.

Cam& ron sent in his , firafc message .-to the General Assembly to-day. In it he re commends the adoption without unne cessary delay of the measures which shall provide for the discharge of the public obligations upon the oasis Bet forth in the act passed by the last Gen eral Assembly, and kno wn as the "Rid dlebergor Bilf Great misapprehen sion exists, he says, as to the purpose of the people of Virginia in; regard to the final settlement of . all controversy con cerning the State debt. As ne under stands the views and will of the people they do not intend to repudiate any just obligation, but to assume and pay that portion of the principal which is properly chargeable to the present Btate of Virginia and to restore all classes of creditors to ft plane of equality. The true indebtedness of the State, be says, should be determined by computing the full interest to the date of aettiement from the period when Virginia lost con trol of and ceased to draw revenue from the territory embraced in West Virginia. Second, by crediting against the sum total of principal and Interest so obtained acknowledged payments on both accounts made by Virginia since losing a portion of her territory. If this shall be done and provision made for the liquidation of the amount so found to be due no charge of repudia tion can be laid at the door of the peo ple of this Commonwealth. As to the rate of interest which can and should be paid on the principal so ascertained and assumed, the Governor says all parties in the State are agreed that the present rate of taxation cannot be in creased, and that careful estimates es tablish the proposition that 3 per cent, is the largest rate of interest that can be provided for with certainty. The Governor concludes : "We are support ed fn this conclusion not only by finan cial experience of many years, but also by the fact JLhat the proposed interest is as great as the average Tate paid by the debtor class ot the world on public securities at the present day."

A Railroad KeirpecU The Railroad Journal ended the year 1881 with an abstract from an article in its issue of fifty years before, describ ing the condition and extent of railroad building at that time. On January 1, 1832, but 60 of the proposed miles of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were completed and in operation, whereas now it has extenued its length to 1, 6543& miles. Tha Albany and Schenec tady had but 12 miles in operation in 1832. Tbe Charleston and Hamburg, in South Carolina, next in importance after Baltimore and Ohio at that time, had 20 miies of its proposed 135 in oper ation, and had acquired the distinction of being the first railroad in this coun try to have ajcontract with the govern mentfor carrying the United States mail. The Quincey, a stone-quarry road near Boston, oncan claimed as the first railroad in the country; had nine miles in use, and the Mauch Cuhk, also had nine miles of road in use. The Ithaca and Oswego, the Lexington and Ohio, the Camden and Amboy and the JUackawaxen had been begun. The Boston and Albany, Boston and Provi dence and the Philadelphia and Norris town were projected. Notice had been given in the New York Legislature of charters to be applied for for twenty five railroads in that State, with an ag gregate capital of $42,000,000, among them the Erie. There was considerable opposition to railroads in New Yore, and: especially to the Erie, on the ground that it would destroy the canaL The Journal may claim to have been possessed of a prophetic spirit when it defended the embryo road with argu ments like .these: - "With such a railroad, intersected at convenient' distance by other roads, running from the Erie canal, and one from Ogdenburg to Syracuse or -Utica, almost every county in the State would be brought' Within twenty-four hours' ride ot New York. It would prevent a recttrrency of the state , of things Which now exists 1n this .city. There, would not then be, as there now are. thousands of barrels or nour : and other kinds of produce a It would not be now frozen up in canal t on the Hudson : salt selling in Albany for 92 50 per bushel, and pork at $2 per hundred for want of salt to save it. whilst it is worth from 85 tp $7 in this city. Coal would not then sell here for 815 to 816 per ton; nor oak wood at 89 and hickory at $13 per cord, as has been the case for two or three weeks past, if railroads were in general use ; but all kinds of business would move on Tegularly and be more equally divided throughout the year, produce could ceme to market as well in January as in July; and the farmer would not be obliged, in order to get his erop to market in the fall, to neglect preparing for the next." : , Unlike most prophets, the Journal has lived to be surprised at the truth of of its prediction.
