As a newspaper The Observer pub lishes the news but does not manufac ture it. nor publish what is manufac tured if it knows it Ithasacorres pondent in Washington whose business it is to keep it posted on doings at the capital, especially such as are of inter est to the people of this section of the country, amongst whom The Obser ves largely circulates, and he conse quently keeps a sharp eye on North Carolina affairs, and upon North Caro linians gathered there. He writes the truth as he learns it. In one of these letters he stated that Col. Johnston and Mr. Chas. Price call ed upon the President, and in the in terview announced their withdrawal from the Democratic party, and iex- pressed the desire to see it defeated in the coming election. This same state ment elaborated and editorially publish ed, appeared in the WashingtonjBepub- lican, and was telegraphed to other leading papers in the North and South, and yet Col. Johnston and Mr. Price were both silent, until after an interval of several days, in response, apparently, to questions direct from The Obser ver, Col. Johnston published a card of denial in one of the city papers, not withstanding the fact that the columns of this paper, in which the letter an nouncing the charge complained of was first published, were open and at his service, as they had also been tendered to Mr. Price to make any statement which he saw fit In this card the Col onel pronounced the assertions of our correspondent false and the fabrication of a "penny-a-liner." On seeing this card our correspondent writes us that he got his information from some of the most distinguished Republicans of this State, then in Washington. This much he says in his own vindication and further that he has the best of rea sons for believing his statements to, be literally true. We had hoped that there might be some error upon which our information waj based, and would be glad still to know. that there was, but this mlich we deem it proper to say in justification of our correspondent in writing and The Observer in publishing the reported interview to acquit both of the charge of indulging in "sensations" when pub lishing presumed matters of fact. Bradstreet's Reporter thinks that some notion of the prosperity of the Southern cities mav be gathered from the following: Richmond, Va., popula tion 63,000, has a total property valua tion of 840,000,000, and its 675 maaufac turies have a capital of 811.000,000. The product last year largely iron and to bacco amounted to $32,000,000. against $24,000,000 in 1880. Columbus, Georgia, with a population of only 7,400, last year increased its assessment by $471,- 000, and its business by $695,000. Au gu3ta, Georgia, has six cotton mills, with $4,000,000 capital and 115,000 spin dies, and all are making money. A telegram to Northern papers from Laurel Springs, North Carolina, dated on Sunday, sajs: "Mr. Woodie, a young man who was recently married, came in from a hunting expedition and asked his bride to pull his boots off. She de clined. He then picked up a gun and shot himself dead." Raleigh News and Observer. We object to Mr. Woodie duplicating himself in this way. An account of this affair was published about three weeks ago in the Winston Sentinel, from which it was republished in this paper. The. telegraph man should not have waited so long for his news. Randall, the Washington corree p in dent of the Augusta Chronicle says: Mr. Stephens keeps microscopically in formed of the least details at Liberty Hall. He knows from day to day how many chickens, ducks, pigs, etc., he has in his yard, and takes as lively an inter est in these home matters as he does in National or State affairs. He recently lost a mule that had attained the great age of 37 years, and he is now much concerned about another named "Old Beck," that has become moribund. Prof. Kerr says that North Carolina is the only State which had an exhibit of its silk products at the Atlanta ex rtosition, and that the general atten tion which it attracted caused many in ouiries for information from other .States. Atlanta had another big lire Monday night which destroyed seven business houses, causing a loss of over one hun- dren thousand dollars. It started the store or Thomas, ititcntr ; Co., on Whitehall street. Philadelphia Record: It is stated that Secretary Huntha3 hopes of succeeding Associate ,1 ustice Hunt on the Bench of the United States Supreme Court. This Hunt might be an improvement on the other Hunt, but it would be bet ter to hunt around for somebody else. Wednesday the 8th inst. the House of Representatives will eugolize the late Hon. M. P.

Ileccirea some Mioor Bill and Kngnget in tbe Ditcntston of Appropriation .So the Postal De partment. Washington, Feb. l-Senatb.-- The president pro tern, submitted from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue a response to the resolution of Decem ber 14, in relation to the sale of farms or plantations in South Carolina under the act ol 1862, for the collection of direct taxes in the insurrectionary dis tricts. - I Harris, from the Committee on Epi demic Diseases, reported favorably, with amendments, a bill for the distri bution of pure vaccine virus to the peo ple-. The amendments appropriate 15.000 to enable the National Board of Health to supply a pure article at cost price, and require that the proceeds of sales shall be paid into the treasury quar terly. On motion or Mr. vvindom, a resolu tion was adopted requesting the Presi dent to communicate the correspond ence between the Executive Depart ment and the diplomatic agents of the United States relating to the proposed Congress of American nations or any of them in 1882. Vance asked for the consideration of his resolution calling for information concerning the misconduct or irregu larities of the internal revenue officials in the sixth collection district of North Carolina. Hoar objected as he regarded the reso lution as a reflection upon the Treasury Department The motion was not pressed. The Senate then took up Morgan's pending resolution calling for an au thentic statement of all tests made by the mixed commission in reference to the heavy ordnance being built by the United States, and also for the printing of the testimony taken in the last Con gress on tbe subject of heavy ordnance and projectiles and tests to which they have been subjected. Haw ley I iggeated that the amount c f printing required by the resolution, if it was to cover ail xne unprinteu mat ter of the ordnance bureau, as he sup posed it did, would be illimitable. A discussion rouoweo.m wnicn Mor gan explained that his purpose.was to have pubiisned matters wnicn tne ord nance bureau had suppressed. He had been informed that that bureau was in the hands of "a ring" interested in cer tain inventions and its chief officer held patents upon inventions which "the ring had caused to be patented. He wanted to nave tne wnoie matter sirc- ed to the bottom and an opportuni ty given to American inventors to com pete with the ravontes or tne oureau. llawiev thought tne charge- or tne Senator from Alabama was based upon representations of dissatisfied inventors who had not received tne rewards which they expected. He suggested as a more direct and less expensive means of attaining the object of the resolution the selection of a committee or tne ben ate to go over what he called the mass of rubbish and ascertain what portion ought to be printed. He believed the ordnance bureau, like every other gov ernment department, to be conducted by honorable men. The discussion continued a consider able time beyond the morning hour and was participated in by Allison and Hoar. After observing that the estimated cost of printing would be $5,000, Mor gan reiterated his charges. Allison explained that congress pro vided at the last session for an efficient test of ordnance ordered by govern ment, by an independent board The resolution was finally laid aside, informally, without action, and the Sen ate at 1.20 took up the 3 per cent, bond bill and Logan advocated as an ad ditional section as folia ws: That the agreement m'ade with hold ers of the bonds of the United States since the adjournment of the Forty Sixth Congress, by which the rate of interest on such' bonds is reduced to three and one-half per centum per an num is hereby fully ratified and con firmed according to the terms and in terest of said agreement." After this amendment along discussion followed Upn the suggestion of Ingalls the amendment was modified by the inser tion of an express recognition of the agreement as valid and binding upon the government Tbe amendment was then adopted without a dissenting vote, as also the provision offered , by Davis, of West Va., declaring that nothing in the act should be construed as to authorize an increase of the public debt The bill was then reported 'to the Senate from the committee of the whole, and the question being upon agreeing to the amendments as a whole, Sherman-asked for a separate vote up on Plumb's amendment applying sur plus revenues over 3100,000,000 to the reduction of the public debt. He said that if this proposition - was not stricken out he and others who had acted with him would be compelled to vote against the bill. He urged upon the Senate to appreciate the importance of maintaining suBcient reserve in the treasury that sudden emergencies might be provided against and argued that if the proposed redaction was now made it would open the dodr to further at tempts in the same direction. Bayard took the floor but yielded for a motion for an executive session. The action, on motion, in the pending House concurrent resolution, fixing the mtnoi jj'eoruary as a day for the Gar field memorial services, was concurred in. Adjourned. McKinley, of Ohio, offered a resolu tion setting apart Monday the 27 of Feb ruary, 1881, fownemorial services upon the late President James A. Garfield. Adopted. Hill, of New Jersey.introduced a bills reducing postage on letters and sealed packages to two cents fqr half ounce or under four cents for over half ounce and under two ounces, and for each ad ditional ounce or fraction thereof, two cents. Referred. Under call of the committees the bill for the erection of a public building at Louisville, Ky., and other places were reported from the committee on public buildings and grounds, and was re ferred to the Committee of the Whole. At the conclusion of the morning hour the House at 12:50 went into Committee of the Whole, Calkin, of lln diana, in the chairvon the post office ap propriation bill. Caswell, of Wisconsin, explained the provisions of the bill. The amount ap propriated was $43,529,300. only $ T7, 577 of which would come oufc of the general fund in the treasury, since the esumatea revenue 01 tne postoffice de- committee on appropriations had cut down the. estimates of the department in several particulars, the principal re duction being .in a refusal to appro priate more than 850,000 for the pur pose of extending the free letter carrier system, the department asking for $150,000. At the conclusion- of Caswell's re marks a general debate on the bill was limited to three hours. Several members gave notice of their intention to offer amendments. .Among them one by Hooker, of Mississippi, limiting the power of the Postmaster General to discontinue the mail service on steamboats. Since the frauds which had existed as was alleged in the star route service bad been disco Yered there had been a discontinuance ol the service by steamboats on the MissLssip- ju fiver aim . iuj ixiuucaries wnicn amounted to almost an absolute inhibi tion of mail service. The object of his amendment was to prevent the discre tion or a head of a department to inter pose and become the law of the land rather than the : express legislation of congress. ' . . t ' . . King, of. La-, advocated Hooker's amendment. ' ' ''" Hiscock.of New York,in responce to some criticisms made by Hooker upon the action of the Postmaster-General in discontinuing the service on steam boats, quoted the reasons advanced by that officer for his action to show-that such service had been discontinued, in some cases because it naa been super ceded dv tne star service and its con tinuance amounted to nothing but a subsidy to the steamboat companies. The committee without further ac tion rose. The Speaker laid before the House a message from the President, transmit ting a letter from the Commissioners of Pensions, giving an estimate of amounts that will be required annual ly to pay the pensions for the next 25 years, under certain conditions.

No Appointment to be made till tne Wrangler come to an Agreement New members Patting: on Dignity Tbe Sbermaa Funding Bill mott and Cooper Hopeful, CowIm not Despondent Pergonal Itenin and : Postal Notes. Washington, Jan. 31st, 1882, The faction fight in North Carolina for the spoils before the departments in this city has come to a full stop by order of the President himself. He has given out that he will not be bothered any further with visiting delegations in the interest of this or that candidate, but has intimated that in view of the con test now pending an understanding muse De naa among tne contending factions. That is, that the whole batch of vacancies must be apportioned out and when an agreement or this kind is arrived at that he will consider the matter. The places thus to be disposed of are tne eastern district Attorney ship, Eastern Judgeship, the Wilming ton joiiectorsnip, tne uin district Col lector ship, the Marshalship of the Western district, the 5th district Collec- torship and other smaller positions. This decision of the President has had the effect of suspending the little fight that has been in progress here for some months past. Many of those who have figured around the hotels here have gone home and not a baker's dozen are now on the ground, where last week there were hundreds. Both sides claim this action of the President as favorable to them, but the observant politician looks upon it as a drawn battle. Until a truce is patched up and a slate arranged no names will e sent in by tne Jfresident. It is thought that this will not be done for some time yet, and it will, perhaps, be a month or more before the anxiety of the several candidates will be relieved and they can enjoy a night's sleep, tree irom tne worriment or political ex citement. The Forty-seventh Congress has brought an unusually large number of new members, and it is often amusing to observe the dignity which some of these gentlemen think it necessary to wear to sustain tne position in which they have been placed. Indeed there are a number of older members who seem to fear that if they should forget their dignity and airs of superiority they might be mistaken for ordinary mortals, a ortunately tor all, save per haps some unfortunate constituent, this assumption bears a reverse ratio to the real dignity and influence of the wearer, It is the experience of every journalist tnat tnose gentlemen in either bouse most competent to give information are the most approachable. Such men as Senators Davis, Edmunds, Ransom, Vance, Beck, Pendleton and Bayard, una no necessity lor guarding their dig nity, while the rural member, perhaps outside his native State for the first time, finds his time so occupied with this duty that he has none left to grap ple with the intricacies of legislation. An illustration or this is given in an incident related to have occurred re cenuy wnere two gentlemen from a distant State called upon their Senator at his boarding house and finding the aoor ajar, witn Doraer ramiiianty en tered and proceeded to the Senator's room. He respondod to their rap in person ana perceiving wno they were told them the custom in Washington was to ring the bell and send their cards in by a servant, and closed the door. The visitors accordingly to con form to the custom returned to the door, rang the bell and sent up their names on a piece of paper, not being prepared wicn caras. in a tew minutes the servant returned with the assur ance that the Senator was not at home He will have no doubt two earnest, if not influential opponents for re-elec tion, should he he ambitious for it at the close of .his present term. The Sherman Funding Bill still drags its slow length along in the Senate. The clause giving the bonds five years to run before they can be called in has been stricken out so that the bonds can be called in for redemption at any time alter issue. a r TT j A -a ms, yesc inea very nara to secure the adoption of the Carlisle section of the old bill, which was the cause of its veto by President Hayes. He however yielded step by step to modifications unui tne amendment was comparative ly narmiess, dug even tnen bis amend ment was rejected. Mr. Plumb secured the adoption of an amendment not strictly germane to the bill which requires the Secretary of me xreasury to invest ail lands In the treasury in excess of one hundred mil lion dollars in bonds subject to redemp tion, the one hundred million reserve being understood to be for the redemp- i . i . i - - tion ox green ducks snouia a demand arise. This weakens the bill on the Republican but may strengthen it some on the Democratic side. The bill has been strengthened by the defeat of the Vest amendment and its chances of passage are about even. Should the bill become a law as it now stands it is the opinion of finan ciers tnat the state of the money mar ket for at least some time to come will not be such as to induce investments in the three per cents., especially as there can be no assurance that the invest ment can be permanent, on for even a fixed short time.
