Kaufman & Co, CENTRA!, IIOTEI, CORNER, THE INTERNAL REVENUE. There is among a majority of the people of this State a great aversion to the internal revenue system, and if it depended upon their say so it would be abolished at once and forever. Its history in this State is full of corrup tion and oppression, a system that is kept up much less for the revenue it yields than for the political ends it serves. But in the districts where the distilling of spirits and manufacture of tobacco are leading industries the subject has become a matter of so much discussion that leading Repub licans have advised as a matter of party policy, if nothing else, that a plank demanding its total abolition be incorporated in their State platform. In the Mt. Airy News we find a communication on the candidacy of Gen. Scales for Governor, which shows the sentiments of those people on that question. The writer referring to a rumor that Gen. Scales, the mem "ber of Congress from the 5th district, was opposed to the abolition of the system, says : It is a fact known to the people everywhere that the present Demo cratic Congress could call up and pass the bilL any day and send it to the Senate. Then, why, O why, do they not do it? Our people care but little about the tariff in comparison to this monster. In fact I believe the think ing portion would iavor a larra ior revenue with incidental protection. I think I understand the public senti ment in Surry and adjoining coun ties, and I think I may safely and truthfully assert that were General Scales a saint he nor no other Demo crat could secure even one half the voting population of the Democratic party, should that party fail to wipe out the revenue system at an early day, as far as the House is concerned, and the party had just as well under stand it. This is plain talk, from a plain man who is evidently in earnest, and says that he knows the sentiments of the people in the counties which he speaks of and those adjoining. The fifth district has long been re garded as the political battle ground of North Carolina, and if the present Congress fails either to abolish or so modify the internal revenue system as to divest it of its most odious and oppressive features, the Republican managers will turn it to good account in the approaching canvass They wfll doubtless incorporate an abolition plank in their State platform, wili claim on the hustings that they are in favor of it, and point to the fact that a Democratic Congress, which" held an overwhelming majority, failed to do anything to correct the abuses of which the people complained. Among a people many of whom are hot bound by very close party ties, what the effect of all this might te, ean easily be imagined, and how it might, in affecting that dis trict, alscf affect the general result in the State, should the election be as warmly contested as it probably will be. It is a question which, even if no higher sense prompted, as a matter of political expediency, cannot b dallied with, and our members in Congress should go as far as they can in destroying this political machine, or if they cannot iestroy it, make it as harmless as possible. and the commensurate increase of stock that we already find ourselves so cramped ior l 1 J. 4.Z . Tm Vvl I ' ' 1 I ai a recent meetiug m iw i a , i j judge Noah Davis, president of the e want of more room that we have determined at as early a time as posssiole to aaa to meeting, puDiiciy prociamieu uuiiseu in favor of the.doctrine, "New York for New Yorkers," and Hon. Wm,M. Evarts, who was present, cordially endorsed that sentiment. The New York Sun calls attention to the fact that Judge Davis was born in New Hampshire and Mr. Evarts in Boston, and asks what,, according to their classification, constitutes a New Yorker, where he must be born, and how long a denizen of Gotham, &c. It" is said that Senator Sherman does hot conceal the fact that he is disappointed at the way his Danville riot investigation is panning out. He hoped to establish the fact that there was a conspiracy amongst the whites against the negrdes,-and that the riot was premeditated, but thus far not a particle of evidence has been pro duced to show it, but on the contrary, all the evidence goes to show that it was simply a street fight, that might have happened anywhere when po litical excitement runs high.

TC ATJIPMAN &CO. CENTRAL HOTEL CORNER.' The correspondent of the Boston Herald who accompanied the New England excursion party m this State last fall has written several valuable communications to that paper. The last we have seen appears in the issue of January 8th, which treats of the profits of tobacco culture in Granville and Vance counties, and of the prog ress of Henderson, the character and value of lands, &c, in that section. He also gives a passing glance at Guilford and Alamance, noting the progress of agricultural and manu facturing enterprises m those coun ties. The information he furnishes does not give a correct idea of the full ex tent of progress that has been made, owing, doubtless, to the fact that he tarried but a brief while by the way, .and gathered up his notes on the fly, but still he gives a considerable amount of information that will be valuable to New Englanders who may desire to move; Southwardf . - r In a case against the Western Union Telegraph Company pending : in Georgia the Supreme Court of that State has .decided that ; the, cqmany Tuesday, the 12th inst., suddenly of -d p A K F A ST R A( ' O N congestion of the lungs Hugh Mc- A T iA g I 'Jy lN lsaagc, aged 43 years.
