Little to Kay aud Plenty to Sell. The number of country people throng ing the streets nowadays is almost un precedented. It is a fact, too, that they come to do but little buying, in nearly every instance bringing loads of butter, chickens and country produce to sell It has been many years since they have been po-essed of such a feeling of inde pendence as they are this fall. hey hfevfeihad good crops, acd have raised plenty pt meat and enough chickens to sell to provide for all their money wants. So far the weather, too, has favored them, making it comfortable to wear bummer clothes and enabling them to laugh the clothing dealers to scorn. The tr th of these statements was patent ye terday when the merchants were complaining of dull trade, while at the same time the streets were crowded with country wagons, and the sidewalks were thronged with peop'e. It is a good sign, and a harbinger of the havp time coming, when oui country friends will all leave town carrying away cash bought goods instead of cash-eating mortgages. Drath from Lockjaw. Mr. Je-se F. Garrett, the young man who was seized with tetanus, or lock jaw, as reported by us yesterday morn ing, died at noon yesteiday.

RlCIIMoftplc DAHVILLE AFFAIR. Additional Details of President Bu ford's Report What is Promised Charlotte General k ten of the Inside Workings of the Company. Below we give fuller and more com plete details of the report of President A. S. Buierd, of the Richmond & Dan ville Railroad at a meeting held in Rich mond, Wednesday, than that contained in our telegraphic columns yesterday. President Buford said that during the ytar. the r. ad way has been improved by the addition of 6teel rails, and adds that the insufficiency of passenger accommo dations at , Charlotte will receive the early attention of the management, and a suitable building provided. The adop tion of coal in the place of wood fuel on tha main lines has requiied continued expenditure in the erection of coal chutes and side tracks for their conven ient u-e. In the motive power department some additions have been made to the ma chinery and buildings at Manchester, sufficient to render the plant at that point ampiy effe tive in theordinary re pairs and additions to the company's equipment. " Two first-class freight locomotives built in the company's shops have been put into service duringthe year, and two others of the same clans' are under con struction ""wenty-five cars have been built to replace others of different clashes worn out or destroyed during the year, and eight conductor's cars built and ad ded to the equipment. The amou t charged to betterments of the various branches of the Rihmond & Danville system, the President re minds the company, "are permanent additions and improvements ot the re spective roads, over and above a full expenditure for ordinary repairs charg ed to maintenance in the general, ac counts." Tlie indebtedness of the company at the cl. se of the fiscal year, September 30 1883 was as follows: Consul bonds $1, 231,10; general mortgage bonds 3,69V 000; bebenture bonds, $3,969 000; bills payable Si, 034. 742. 74 the last named have been reduced by payments about 200. 000; against which indebtedness is to be credited cash investments held by the Richmond & Danville Railroad Com pany, in stocks and bonds of the Rich mond and West Point Terminal Rail way, and Warehouse Company, the Richmond, York River and Chesapeake Railroad Company the Northwestern North Carolina Railroad company and oth rs and acrumulated balances in the hands of tuntees under traffic contracts with branch and connecting lines of roads representing in valuable proper ties $6 408 018,13. As already seen, the amounts expend pended for the year in new property were: For the Richmond and Danville Road, S2i6,801.88; in betterments o the Atlanta and Charlotte Ai' Lme road 246.139.13; and in betterments of the Richmond. York River and Chesa peake road, 4.863.58, making an aggre gate expended for new property during the year of j?477.904. 57, or 239.764,7 more than the full interest for one year on the debentures. The Jury Couldn't Agree. We gave an account in the Observ er a few days ago, of the trial of J no Twigga, at Rutherford court, for the murder of Wm. McCall. The murder was committed in Rutherford county in the year 1862. Twiggs was tried and sentenced to be hanged, but tock an appeal, and in the meantime es caped to Tennessee,, where he lived in seclusion' up to within a short time since, when he was arrested and brought back to this State. The Mor ganton Mountaineer received yester day, givs us the following concern ing the trial : ' We understand that on the trial of John Twiggs for the murder of Wm. McCall in Ruther ford ton, the jury failed to agree, eleven being for acquittal and one for conviction of manslaughter, and a mistrial was entered. The accused testified in his own behalt and stated that he killed McCall in selr defense. Both the prosecution and the defense were ably represented by counsel. There is very little probability of his being convicte I on the next trial, as the fact of the length of time since the commission of the crime and the fact that he has led a peaceable and industrious life weighs heavily in his favor." Trouble About a Matter ot Salary. Tlie people of the Poplar Tent neigh borhood, Cabarrus county, are just now considerably exercised over the action of a called meeting of Concord Presby tery, last week, in depriving them of their preacher. Rev. Mr. Williamson, who. the Presbytery evidently feared would starve to death in Poplar Tent It seems that they gave their preacher a ca.hh salary of 600, and besides this, put the parsonage and a farm of 30 acres at n is command and it was reasonable to suppose thrit, if he was any sort of a fa.i ni- r at all. he could make a couple of hund r, dd liars from the farm. Some reports had gone up to tlie regular meet ing of Presbytery in reference to Poplar Tent church, and the meeting was called to investigate the charges that the church didn't promise enough salary to its ministers, and failed to pay what it promised. At this called meeting the Pret-bytery ordered Mr. Williamson, the pastor, to 6top preaching to that con gregation after Christmas; in other words, i losed the church. The Presby tery wanted Poplar Tent to join with Bethpage and have preaching every other Sunday. The Poplar Tenters want a preacher all the time, and although they promised only j?60U, they say they really give mu' h more, as the minister has a good parsonage, with thirty acres of land, all of which he gets rent free. By having this small farm, as it were, to fall back on. a minister would find his salary considerably augmented. The action of Presbytery in saying tha $600 is too small, and coming down so hard on the people, has raised such a shower of indignation and such widespread dis satisfaction, it is thought that after Christmas Presbytery will reinstate Mr. Wiiliameon and let the matter end The Dtvidson College Kackei. Edi or observer. I see in your paperalotfg article from aMei hodist minister who relates at length the doings of some Davidson students on the train at this place. It seems strange that a sensible man, as the writer certainly is, should allow him self to be worked up to such a state of excitement by a lot of thought- less college Doy s. tie cuums no personal insult, but that the boys were singing some songs &c which were not pleading to Methodist's eats While I do not try to jusffy the students for their thought lessness, still I think that a man of ma tuie years should hardly notice such a3 occurence, and certainly not go so far as to publish it in one of -he leading pa pers in the South. If the gentleman wanted to prevent such conduct in fu ture why did h- not simply write to the Faculty about it and they would with out doubt used their every means in their p wer to prevent a repetition of the annoyance If he really wished to do aDy good by his remarks he should have chosen a different cour-e, as it is, he could have used more effective means for injuring the college. The gentleman says that he thinks the management of the college must be defective Can he devise a plan which will keep college students from forgetting their dignity at times? If so he will accomplish what many men have tried in vam totio. TDvsoy1BTraaeT.

EAST CAROLINA DIOCESE. Dr. Watson Elected Bjotiop Sy a Unan imous Tote of Both Orders. The Observek yesterday received a telegram from Newborns, announcing that Dr. Alfred Augustin Watson was elected Bishop of East Carolina, the new diocese in this btate, by the Episcopal convention in session at that place. Dr. Watson's el- ction was unanimous on the first ballot by both clergy and laity. The diocese over which Dr. Watson will have control is composed ot Hertford. Bertie, Martin, Pitt, Greene, Wayne. Sampson. Cumberland. Robeson a:cl all the counties lying between those named and the Atlantic coast. Dr Watson, the newly elected Bishop, is about 65 years old, and is a native of Brookln, New York. On November 3, 1844, he was ordained deacon by Bishop Benjamin F. Onderdoiik, and in 3 845 he took pastoral charge of Grace church, Plymouth, and was the first rector of that church. On May 21, 1845. he was ordained priest in St John's chuich, Fayetteville. He took charge of Chrii-t's church in Newbernein 1859, and in 1803 was appointed assistant to Bishop Atkinson, in St. James' church. Wilmington. In 1865 he was ordained rector of St. James church, aud hascon tinued as such up to the present. Dr. Watson enlisted as chaplain, in 2nd Regiment, North Carolina Troops, in 1861, and distinguished himself for his unselfish devotion to duty. As a churchman, he stands high throughout the United States, and is considered one of the ablest divines in this country. For pome time past he has been chair man of the committee on canons to the general conventions, a post of great im portance and responsibility. He was always in favor of the division of the diocese, and in 1868 made an important report favoring the division of dioceses. The elevation of such a man as Dr. Watson to the Bishopric will give sat isfaction to the Church in this State. A better man could not have been selected to fill the place. . The Federal Court. Ye-terday was a dull day in the Fed eral court, no ca-es at all being tried. The case of Chas E Robinson against the North Carolina smelting Works was called, but it appearing that since the suit was instituted the plaintiff has died. Mr. George Whittaker was allow ed to come in as representative for the deceased, and the suit was continued, In the case of the U. S. vs. J. E. Tap pen and others on some Indian agent business, was continued. Tappen filing affidavit and being permitted to file answer. The case of J. L Hardin, bankrupt, was referred to E K. P. Os borne. It is probable that at the conclusion of to-day's business, the court will ad journ to Tuesday, when Judge Bond is expected to arrive. Sump Husiness Chances The saloon formerly kept by Bixby & Katz. was sold under execution yesterday at public auction and was wwight in by the mortgagee, J. M. Kendrick, for about $2,500. Mr. Ken drick will continue the business as formerly. : McD. Arledge yesterday sold his saloon on College street to W H Neel & Co., of Chester, S. C. On the first of January, several bus iness changes will be "made. Kauf m n, ihe clothier, will move into Brem & McDowell's old store in the Central Hotel building, and R.

The interests of humanity seem to de mand the publication of the following facts: Two months ago my attention was called to the case of a p r woman who was said to be afflicted with a car eer. I found her with an ulcer on her shoulder at least five inches i circum teience, angry, painful, and giving the p tient no rest day or night for six months. I obtained a supply of Swift's Specific, which I persuaded her to try. She has taken five bottles, the result of which is that the ulcer is entirely healed up, nothing remaining but a small scab, not larger than one's finger nail, and her general health is better than for five years pt. She seems to be per fectly cured. An old man of sixty-seven j ears has been subject to scrofulous sores for five years. He had one on his heek as large as a silver dollar, swollen, raw and con stantly exuding very off nsive mattt r. Another on his foot of the same charac ter, and several on his hands all of about two and a half years standing. His general health was- poor, and he could scarcely get about at all. He has taken two bottles of Swift's Specific. The sores are all well, leaving scarcely a vestige of their former existence, an his- general health ; better than it has been in ten.years. X consider its effects wonderful almost miraculous. hbv. Jesse H. Campbell. Columbus, Ga, Oct. 17, 1882. Digest of Supreme Court Decisions. I Raleigh A'tn and Otnerver. Brown vs. Cooper.

Acts of 1883, chapter BIO, construed by Ashe, J. 0. This construction embraces a counterclaim, which is in the nature of a cross-action, where the plaintiff relies on payment in fact.

Where leave is given a defendant to fb an amendment answer, provi ded no .natter be set up therein which will effect o ders previously made in the cause, such amended answer will be stricken out if it bo not compati ble wit i the terms upon which the leave was granted. The motion to strike out the answer was made in apt time under the facts of this case. Morris vs. Gentry : 1. Judgments of a court in a case properly constituted before it, and where it has jurisdiction of the par ties and the subject matter of contro versy, are deemed to be valid and will be upheld until impeached by a direct proceeding for that put-pose. 2. And although such judgments may afterwards be reversed, the rights of third persons honestly ac quired thereunder will be protected; but otherwise, where such persons have knowledge of any irregularity or fraud in procuring their rendition. 3. The law presumes that a party to an action has notice thereof and of its nature, but the contrary may be shown in a proper proceeding for that purpose. 4. The interests of miners are un der the care of the court, and to the end that the same may be protected in suits brought by or against them, the court should that the ne.i t friend or guardian ad litem be ap pointed under due consideration of an application in writing, and not upon a simple suggestion. 5 Demurrer was overruled in ti e court below with leave to defendant to answer over, and to plaintiff to amend complaint; Held, that al though demurrer was sustained on appeal, yet no final judgment will be entered in this case, but it will be re manded f ji- further proceedings in the court below under the leave granted.
