The attendance is good and is daily increas; ing. Mrs. Garfield heartily denies the re port that she had written a letter to the President, asking him to reprieve Guiteau. It is stated that more small grain has and will be sown in Southwestern Georgia the present season than in any former period. Since January l, the shipment of spe cie from this country aggregate $5,- 752,020, of which $2,227,340 was gold, and the remainder ($1,524,080) silver. A Raleigh telegram states that the North Carolina State Life Insurance Company has determined to wind up its affairs and go out of business. It is solyent. According to a calculation made by M. Auguste Felsch, a theatre or con cert hall -lasts on an average only 22 years, and is then destroyed by fire. A seedy looking man has been tramp ing about Belleville, 111., for the past few days, declaring that he is the broth er of Stonewall Jackson, the distin guished Southern soldier. Of course he is a fraud. The State debt of Georgia is $9,726,- 600, which is being rapidly paid off. As an offset to this she owns the State road, worth from $5,000,000 to $10,000,' 000, and considerable other property. 'Ash ton D wight Billings, aged 37, an actor of fair reputation, a native of Charleston, committed suicide by tak ing laudanum in New York last Mon day, in a fit of melancholy, occasioned by the death of his wife and child. The National Republican, of Wash ington, quotes General Leach as saying that he was an Old-line Henry Clay Whig, although he has been affiliating with the Democrats since the war, and that the liberal movement in the South is bound to succeed. Ex-Postmaster James recently said "The happiest moment of the last ten months was when I had resigned from the Cabinet and sat m the car bound for New York." And the happiest moment for the other fellow was when he got on the cars to take his place. During the year just passed 322,934 tons of coal were mined in the State of Alabama. A few years ago the output could have been expressed in ciphers. This industry has progressed more rap idly than any other within the borders of the State. x ranK uonger, tne business manager of the Republican, who ran away and left Clarence Barton to contend alone with two desperate men, is the son of Senator Conger, of Michigan. Sena tors sons must "pan out" better than this or the stock will not be worth the breeding. A grand ball, organized with the ob ject of showing the variety and perfeo tion to which the art of calico printing has arrived in Great Britain, was given a few nights ago in the Manchester Town Ilall. There were about 1,200 guests, and all the ladies' dresses were made of British printed cotton. Lynchburg Va. News : The local op- tlonistshave no friend in Mr. Riddle berger. He antagonizes all their meas ures and even opposes bills to prevent the sale of liquor near academies and colleges. They will have him to fight all the time, and they had as well make a note of it. He wants no temperance in his readjustment. Senator Pendleton s house is said to be the most beautiful in Washington. It is wholly American in material, all the wood being pine, maple and poplar, polished and oiled so as to show the beautiful grains. There is not a mar ble mantle, nothing heavier than wood, simply carved in light, graceful designs. jjurine tne year issu sweeden ex- ported 19,000,000 pounds avoirdupoise of matches.

The Raleigh News and Observer is ferociously indignant becaus3 tho Ob server reproduced an article from the Statosrille American in reply to chr.rges against Dr. Mott, and indulges in a good deal of nonsense that hardly be comes a journal which regards itself as a sort of a model for the press of the State. We published the article, as we had the previous articles from the News and Observer which, called forth the defense, and in the same paper pub lished the comments of the News and Observer, that the two articles might go together. The article of the News and Observer had no head and we gave it one.on which the News and Observer places just the contrary construction to what was intended, and on this mis conception it flies into a rage. Our .meaning was that the article on which the News and Observer was comment ing was not a "satisfactory" answer and never supposed that any other construc tion would be placed upon it. If. it was our intention to enter into the discus sion we should not have expressed our opinion in a head line simply. As to the "abuse" in the article of the Amer ican we attached very little importance to it, and didn't consider it worth while to rewrite it to eliminate the expletives etc., of, the American ; as far as having any sinister motive, which seems to be supposed, that never occurred to ils. We have no desire to hurt the News and Observer, there is room enough in the world for it and the Observer, and if we had we should not go to Statesville to borrow weapons to at tack it. This much we have written to relieve the News and Observer from its false impressions, and acquit the Observer from the suspicion of desiring to injure it. We will remark in conclusion that the editor of the News and Observer should not fly off at a tangent and let his choler get away with his sense, nor the accustomed dignity which he prides himself on wearing:, and which as a rule characterizes his journalistic de meanor. It is the easiest thine in the world to write sharp words which might pass forsarcastic words,which might be regarded by some people as crushers, but it is not profitable. It is a waste of genius and shows bad taste, if not a small mind. It is too small a business for as great a mind as that which pre sides over the columns of the News and Observer, a mind distinguished for its eminent ability and marvelous vig' or throughout the length and breadth of this commonwealth and perhaps the States adjacent thereto. i i 1 1 LIMITING THE TERM OF COLLEC TORS. The bill introduced Thursday in Con gress limiting the term of collectors of internal revenue to four vears has merit in it. In addition to other points in its favor it would have a tendency to prevent aouses ana aisnonesty in the administration of the office if the incumbent knew that at the end of four years he must step out and some one eise wouia step in. it would be a decided check on the dishonestlv dis posed. When the office extends for an indefinite number of years, term after term with the same incumbent, there is ample time to cover up much of the devilment that is not forgotten. Men who remain in omce a long time are apt sto become lax if they are not abso lutely corrupt. The four year limita tion is a good move. Randall in the Augusta Chronicle: Congressmen complain that the raid upon them for garden seed having about spent the first fury of its violence, they are passing through another stage of the nuisance in a wild appeal for vaccine points.

The friends of Captain Howgate, the signal service embezzler, claim that a forthcoming itemized account will, im plicate many others in various degrees of criminality. Names are withheld for the present. This is how, remarks the St. Louis News, that radical refor mers, when they are found out, always try to intimidate the prosecuting offi cersand witnesses. This is why the star-route prosecutions are delayed and all inquiries into the rascalities of Hayes' administration are defeated. Oscar Wilde was disappointed with the Atlantic ocean. Sorry to hear this. We thought the Atlantic was a success When some more oceans are built we'll have one constructed after Oscar's no tion, if he will tell us just how hejwould like to have it done.

Washington, Feb. 17.

House. Owing to the great confu sion which existed at the close of yes terday's session thereLWere several cor rections made ot : tne congressional Record after which the speaker an nounced the regular order of business to be a motion to lay on the table the motion submitted at the close ot yester day's" session, by Springer, of Illinois, to reconsider the vote by which theHouse rejected the amendment offered to the apportionment bill by Colerick, (Ind.) providing that in case the legislature of any state whose representation is changed shall fail to re-district the State before the time fixed for the elec tion of representatives the Governor shall be authorized to call a special elec tion. The motion to table the motion to re consider was carried yeas 130, nays 114. The question then recurred on the substitute for the whole bill, submitted by Colerick, of Indiana, and which fixes the representation at 316. Cox demanded tne yeas and nays, and the tellers for the yeas and nays having been ordered, the Speaker appointed Cox and Prescott as such tellers, but Cox declined to serve in that capacity with his colleague. The substitute was rejected yeas 94, nays 154. A substitute offered by Joyce, of Ver mont, providing for a House of 365. was rejected without a division. The question tnen reeurred on tne substitute offered by Page, of California, providing that the House shall be com posed or s 9 members. Tnis rage de sired to withdraw, but it was the num ber favored by the Democrats. Objec tion was made, it was, however, re jected. Yeas 99, nays 148. The previous question was ordered on the final passage of the bill and it passed without division. The text of the bill is as follows: Be it enacted, etc., That after the third of March, 8S3, the House of Rep resentatives shall be composed of 325 members, to be apportioned among the several States as follows: Alabama 8 Mississippi...... 7 Arkansas... . 5 Missouri 14 California 6 Nebraska 3 Colorado 1 Nevada l Connecticut 4 New Hampshire 2 Delaware 1 JNew Jersey 7 Florida 2 New York 34 Georgia 10 North Carolina. . 9 Illinois 20 Ohio 21 Indiana.."

The morning hoax having been dis pensed with, the House at 3.30 went in to committee of the whole with Horr, of Michigan, in the chair, upon the private calendar.' - : The first billon the calendar was one authorizing the-Testoration of Thomas Little to the army with the rank of Captain. The report shows that Little was courtmartialed on a charge of con duct unbecoming an officer and gentle man and on this ground "McCookof New York, .protested against his resto ration ta the atmy The ; House had last Friday passed a. bill restoring Capt.

He then sent to the clerk's desk to have read, an affidavit of Thomas Little, rela tive to the charge made against him and which was taken from the files of the War Department The language of the affidavit Was so gross that many; ladies left the galleries and the reading i was stopped by objections from Spring er,' of Illinois, and Moore, of Tennessee, On the ground that it was obscene and it was stricken from the record. The affidavit, however, had its effect and by; an overwhelming vote tha enacting j clause of the bill was stricken out, thus j defeating the measure. The next next bill was one authoriz ing the President to place Wm. P.1 Chambliss, late Major of the 4th Cavalry, upon the retired list. On this bill the-Democrats refrained from vot ing, thus leaving the committee with out a quorum, whereupon the commit tee arose. The recommendation of the commit tee as to the bill relative to Thomas Little was agreed to by the House and j the enacting clause was stricken out. Valentine., chairman of the commit tee on agriculture, reported the agri cultural . appropriation bill. Referred to committee of the whole. It appro-; priates $392,480, being $66,770 less than asked for and $119,980 more than the appropriation for the current year. - - The Speaker laid before the House a message from the President in further ! compliance with the House resolution calling for the correspondence respect-1 ingthe war on the Pacific, transmitting a report of the Secretary of State and, accompanying documents. Referred Also a letter from the Secretary of War transmitting the progress report of the Mississippi Rivef Commission. I Referred. v The House then, after several roll calls, at 5 :30 adjourned. Sad Affair is Alamance. Durham Plant. ' A friend furnishes some details of the following, to which we add a few particulars learned elsewhere. On the first of December last a nartv of friends assembled at the residence of Mrs. Robinson, in the Cedar Cliff section, to witness the marriage of her daughter, Miss Dora Robinson to Mr. John Bivens. . The table was spread, ths bride at tired, and ready with her attendants, but the groom tarried ! And not until next day was an explanation received ; a note stated that he was not ready for entering into matrimony. Negotiations ensued, and on the 20th of January, the wedding came off at the same place and everything went merry as wedding bells should. Both bride and groom were popular in the neighborhood, and the old people thought well of them. They made their home with Mr. Bivens's father, and apparently were as happy as young married folks should be. On Sunday morning, before day break. Feb. 5th. ten days after the wed' ding, the husband slipped out of bed, and creeping down stairs got a sum of monev. nulled off his stockings, and put on his boots, and going to the stable, took his horse and galloped two miles to the house of a friend. Leaving his horse in the yard, he walked to New- lin's mill dam and started into the wa ter; but presently came out, and walk ed up the bank to a spot where the wa ter is 15 feet deep. I he river was much swollen at the time. Biven's was missed at daybreak, and easily tracked to the wateredgerThe search was carried on by several nun dred citizens of the vicinity; and the mill dam repeatedly dragged. The af fair is deemed a specially sad one by those who know the parties. Farmer and Mechanic. The body of Mr. Bivens has not been found in Newlin's pond, and probably never will be. The story of the drowp ing appears to be all a hoax, and the supposed victim has doubtless fled to parts unknown. He will likely turn up in some distant State.
