JONES, Editor and Proprietor. - ERTESKD AT TBM PUWWTICl IX CHABLiOTTB, N. C, 48 toom Class Mattm. -- i COL. A. 8. BU FORD. Telegrams ', from Richmond last : night convey the information, that . CoL A. S Buford waa re-elected pres ident of the Richmond & Danville railroad system," at a meeting of the stockholders held in Richmond yess terday. The information is no sur-. prise to Col. Buford's friends, who have for some time anticipated the event. ; ': i ' h 2 ; The Richmond & Danville system of railroads is now one of the largest aggregations of corporate interest, that exists in the United States. We have no means of knowing how much .wealth the company -represents, but we know thai it represents aantm- : uous line of railroad from Washing- J ton Cty to Atlanta, and possibly bes yond, through the Georgia Pacific rail road, and the Salem road, the Western North Carolina Railroad, the Rich mond & West Point Terminal and perhaps other companies. , . The system today stands a monu ment to Col. Buford's brain, his en- erg and his skill. North Carolina has produced two great railroad men Alex Andrews and A. S. Buford. Col. Buford has been at the head to conceive, while Andrews has been on the field to execute. It is of Buford we would write today. The return of Col. Buford fc the presidency of the Richmond & Dan villo railroad system should be grati fying to every true North Carolinian. North Carolina should be proud of the name and f &me of this son of hers, To him, more than all others is she indebted for the present efficient and extensive system, now known as the Richmond & Danville. At the close of the war Col. Buford, a young and .comparatively inex perienced man, was elected president of the Richmond & Danville railroad then a simple line of railway be ween Richmond & Danville We be lieve he defeated Gen. Jos. E. John ston, who - was a candidate for the position. . The road and machinery was worn out and encumbered witji a large debt. The - Piedmont Line (the connecting link between the North Carolina and Virginia systems be tween Greensboro - and 1 Danville) .which was mainly built by the Rich mond & Danville railroad company, was seized by the government as the proper ty ol the r" Confederate States. Cqlviford, by his skill and indomit able energy, arranged the debt of his company, got possession of the Pied- r -raont road made the connection with the North Carolina system, and then leased the North Carolina railroad for thirty years.. When this was accom- plished he at once looked for more and longer lines, and better connec tions. He is, and was the originator and builder of the Charlotte & Atlan ta Air Line, and through hisinflu , ence the Charlotte, Columbia & Au-"-: gU8ta'and the Atlantic, Tennessee & Ohio railroads were leased; the Salem ' road as.baflt' and more recently the ' Western North Carolina and the Georgia Pacific railroads, and control of the Virginia Midland ' railroads was secured. ' . ; In 1865 CoL Buford's little line was bankrupt and without connections- today it is ope of the great corpora tions f the continent. ' What rail' road president can; point to such ac complishmenlB, with so little means, in sashort a time? V : ..Xhe Observes - contemplates his achievements, in North Carolina with pride, and hails his re-election as a just tribute to en .honest, capable, ef ficient and indefatigable son of North Carolina, born in obscurity in Davie county, but who has worked his way to the head of his profession by sheer merit. The JSataal Friend. -The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher on beiner informed nf th a d path nf hi " former "mutual friend," Mr. Francis v. mouiton, said: I could say many v um tilings ot jar. Mouiton, but some tuings not complimentary. . , I r . member the maxim de mortuis n nisi bonum. Then whv thing? His hand was raised against me, but he could not help it. The real truth of that great conspiracy against me has never been given to the public Mr. Mouiton had many Eapers, documents and letters that ave never been produced. I know full well the underlying reasons for this conspiracy, but in evidence I could not prove them. Many things that one kaows to be true he cannot Fv J may speak more fully of Mr. Mouiton later.

Senate -; Sherman presided; over the Senate today, Having Deen aesignaiea ior that purpose by Vice President Ed munds under the rule. The chair laid before the Senate an invitation to that body from the commissioners of the New Orleans Exposition to Sarticipate in the opening of the ixposition on L the 16th inst. j The communication was laid on the table, that being the usual formal disposi tion of such documents in the Senate when no special or immediate dispo sition is demanded by any Senator: Vance submitted the joint resolu tion which waa referred to the com mittee on millitary affairs, providing for a return to the State of - Nort-n Carolina, of copies of the official let" ter books ot -its 'executive aepan merit; 3 The House joint resolution for con tinuing the work of the census bureau was laid before the .Senate, and on motion of Hale was read three times and passed. Blair submitted a resolution wnicn went over till tomorrow, instructing the committee on naval affairs to investigate Capt. John Ericsson's new system or naval oetence, especi ially his submarine gun and torpedo, and inouire wnetner ine same s are about to be purchased for the exclu sive use of any foreign power, jana whether the prudent provision' for naval defense requires the purchase of such inventions Dv the United States government. In presenting this res olution, Blair referred to the hope less condition ot our sea coast, anu investigating inventions of the Char acter cf these before undertaking ; to provide the enormous, sum necessary to place the United States in a .cem- plete condition of .naval efficiency and sea" coast defense. s : Vest, on beh'alf of" the committee on commerce. requested that .. that committee be discharged from the consideration of k the inter oceanic ship railway bill. Vest stated that he had received a letter from - Capt, Eads. savine that certain charges had been made in concession from Mexico, which made it necessary to withdraw the bill The- committee was accordingly discharged from the consideration of the bur. wnich was ordered to be withdrawn from the Senate files. At two o clock tho Dakota bill was taken up. Vest addressed the Senate in opposition to the admission of Da kota. There was nothing of partisan ship, he said, in his petition. He was devoted to the principle of the Demo cratic party, but he was here to dis cuss the Question entirely on its merits. ? Very few Territories., how ever, had been admitted to the Union with a party struggle s and debate. Territories themselves had always felt the influence of the' party dominant in the Nation. ..When, the national administration was Democratic, the Territories were Democratic: when Republican, the Territories were; Re publican.' Addressing himself to the merits of the question, Vest said that the constitution had placed no limi tation on the power of Congress to admit new States. There was no need for admitting others States. The demands said to have been made since 1870 for the J admissien of : the Territory had been the demands of men who were ready to cut each others throats, politically and physi cally. Gen. Grant had been credited, Vest : said, with the statement while President, that : Dakota gave him more trouble than all the Territories put together. , The trouble there was that there was two sets in Yankton, and if one set did anything, tor got anything done, the other set rebelled. and it would require almost all the civil and military power ot the united States to keep peace between the fac tions c Vest sent to the desk of the secretary and had read a number of petitions opposingtbe admission of the Territory, and ascribing a desire for admission to the ambition of politic ians who wisn to go to the United States Congress. -Vest said that the project to divide the Territory was unnecessary, i At the conclusion of Vest's remarks the Senate went into executive ses sion, and when the doors were re opened, adjourned. : House.

Jt appro priates $309,771, being a reduction pf $4,793 from the appropriation for the current year, and $83,573 less than the estimates. . K.eifer offered an amendment pro- viaing mat nereaiier - au appoint -ments to the grade of second fieuten auts in the army shall be confined to graduates of the military academy, and to meritorious non commissioned officers recommended for promotion in the manner now provided by law.' Randall said, that the amendment had not been considered in (he com mittee on appropriations, and he would prefer that the committee should have time to inquire into the propriety of Adopting such a meas ure. - --,: . i. Keifer said his proposition was to secure positions in the army for West Point graduates. v ' rRosecrana, of California; could not see why the amendment should not be adopted. Its .effectwas to limit the appointing pbwer of the Presi dent, but he thought this limitation a proper one in at.time of peace. He suggested that the amendment be modified by including enlisted men within its provisions, and by making the law inapplicable in time of foreign war.- ..3 Keifer accepted the suggestions, and the amendment as modified was adopted:. ; : V; r; v. :s- At 1 :15 the com mitteei rose and re ported the bill.
