The Observer hopes that it may bring with it joy to the households throughout the land and that it may be td-alLa briehY a merrv. and what is still better, a hap py Christmas!; Since the South put on the. armor of war and passed through a fiery ordeal and Struggles' that now belong to history 's page, aiever has a Christ-r mas. with, brighter, .promise dawned upon her, -and never have her people had reason to look to the future with lighter hearts or higher hopes.! Heaven has been good to our sunny Southland. It has given her the warm sunshine, the flowing 'rivers, the verdant vales, the timber covered and oresbedded hills. : All that man needs for his comfort' and happiness is here within his reach, as easily as it can be'reached any whereupon this . globe, and if he is not prosperous, not happy, it is not the fault Of the land - he lives in. . , -.

The grass and the grain have grown upon ;. the fields where the strife and the battles were waged, and now our struggles are in . ' the conquests of peace' and in the rivalry . of progress, i in which1 the world is our competitor. As in the past immortal lustre was won, so in the contests of the future will the ' victory be ours and our Southland become rich and powerful as she is fair And favored. This is the heritage -of those te whom The Observer 8 peaks today a good and a glorious one. . , " With hopeful hearts then let us go forth to do each his part in the grand work before us, so that when anoths er Christmas comesjwe can look back and say we have not been drones in tho hive, nor useless dwellers on the " earth.

The Nayai Appropriation Bill Passe aad Sereral Laad BilU Docketed. WASHmGT6N,V DeC. "23.- Sekatb!.- The i Chair laid before the Senate a memorial of the American associa tion for the advancement of science, urging the extension of the coast and geodetic survey to all the States. Jonas presented a memorial of the joint commercial associationa.of New Orleans, protesting against the ratifi cation of the Spanish treaty. , Vest submitted a concurrent reso lution providing that Congressional speeahes shall be printed as delivs ered, with the exception of verbal amendments, and when the speeches are withheld for revision for more than one weak, the speech shall be printed as delivered. . , f Vest said he, wished the, resolution referred .to .the committee on print ing, and it was referred.' In the de bate on the resolution Vest said he idea that anv such resolution would pass both houses, but perhaps occasional reminders xn its subject moHar wmild have so m e effect. " The Senate, he said had already passed unVi - Trnvisinn. in the ;iorm ot an amendment to the appropriation bill, hmi-. ifwna strriek out in the confer ence committee. vThe evil at which it was directed had grown to such an oTrnnt as to become a veritable scan- Hal Tn a nountrv in which public opinion largely" influences public busi ness, it was of the greatest importance that the manner in which the laws were passed should be correctly set forth ux the record. It was due not only to those who represented the jeople themselves, but as wen to tne truth of historyv that what purported to be a truthful record of what was oaiirl find dona in Congress should be what-, it nnroorted to be. instead of being the caricature that it was to dAv. The effect of the untruthful "representations now made could-not but have a. most mjuno euw, Asnfieiallv on the young men of the rvMintrv. when thev learned tbaff in stead of a speech being delivered to a full house, and in the presence of crowded galleries, and loud applause and immense banquets to reward the orator, that the orator dfd not deliver the speech at all, but at the time of the supposed delivery was taking leisurely his luncheon in theCongres signal restaurant, orplacidly smoking in a cloak room. This was becoming so well understood that it was touch ing the sense of public honor, and the opinion of the country was getting to be that Congress was nothing but a variety show,- where was nothing real except the pay. He cited as one of the abuses of the printing privilege the case of a member of Uongress w delivered ten lines of remarks, and then printed as a part of his speech a .complete copy of the constitution of the United States, and another who printed as a part of his remarks a noemof 90 pages, entitled, "To the Imniortals " and dedicated to Con' gress. But even a more scandalous abuse than these was shown at the last session, when a member, after delivering a few sentences of a speech supplemented them with all the chap ters on the tariff contained in Blaine's book, and had them thus printed at public expense. Copies of that speech Vest said, were sold by the campaign committee-at 10 cents a thousand, and distributed under frank through the mails. . Another instance cited by Vest was where identically the same speech appeared printed as having been de livered by two members, borne mem ber of' the literary lobby, had sold copy of one speech to two different men. ; e r - f h- tiawiey remarked that any copies or speeches sent out by the campaign committees were paid for. a i . k" Vest asked whether it was not true that they were franked through the mails. Hawley; replied that he believed that it was the custom of be4h politi cal parties in the distribution of copies of speeches to frank them. Sherman said the Congressional Record had come to be altogether too bulky by printing in itall sorts of documents that h ippened to have any Dearmgon me Buoject unaer aiscus sion. He though" the Record would be immensely more convenient and valuable if it were less bulky. ! Piatt said that inasmuch as there was no rule m the senate . giving ; ieave to print," the difficulty did not arise there. --, ? ... ? Frye thought there wassoraething to be said in excuse for the House of Representatives Under the rules of that body it was very seldom that member was allowed more than ten minutes in debate. The most impor tant discussion there was under the five minute rule,, and under no rule could a member have more than one hour. Ih the Senate, on . the other hand, a gentleman mav at anv time fetop the whole business of the body, surround himself with books five feet high, and talk from one hour to ten hours. . " ' ' The resolution was referred. Hale called up the naval anoronri- ation bill. as reported yesterday by him 'from the committee on annros priations. He again explaihed It to oe tne regular and usual appropria tion bill as preferred by the. HouseS but modified so as to cover only the last half of the year.

" .Salisbcby, Dec 21, 1884. To the Editor of THE Observer. - When: Mr. V J. : F. Koss ; had rns attorneys begin suit against the K. & D. Railroad, he did so with no feeli ing against the business men oi vuu- lotte, nor has the county ot rwwau shown any , disposition w vVT jealous of Charlotte's success in life. Let her receive such benefits from the railroads as she may, we shall make no complaint. All we ask for is jus tice and equal freight rates. . We i live forty-four miles nearer the northern m..Wg onri it. in not iust that we nav forty cents more on the bale or, cotton tnan unariotte, wuoujum w tnn nnooea our door on its way to Noor Vnrh- The law of North Caro lina say s the railroad companies doing business in this State cannot discrim inate in freiehte: : That this law1 has hAAn violated there is no doubt? That Mr. Ross, has paid these unjust rlte of freight his rauroau receipts ""Mo We would be satisfied with the same rates as Charlotte, although we are entitled to leas, r Salisbury s being forty-four miles nearer market than Uharlotte, irom six to eigut muusauu haieainf Rotton shipped from this deoot during, the cotton season, and nui- shinners nav ing from -thirty to forty cents per bale more than Chars lotte, makes quite an item to the nhinner. We think it very, unkind in Tiib Observeb to refer ' to what tifwftn has done for railroads,?- when it ia well known that - this county voted for a hundred thousand dollars to the building of the North Carolina Railroad, and nrivate stock was taken to increase. Rowan's ; investment " be - yond a half million dollars, -via tin as well? Did she vote one cent towards building sa d road? If so. it is not on record. Rowan has never made an obligation without coming to the scratch: she has never effected a compromise of her bonds of nearly a hundred thous and dollars at five thousand dollars. We claim that Chap. Fisher and Jno. T Shaver deserve the credit of bund ing the Western North Carolina Rail road to Morganton and .lost their en tire investment. The same two gens tlomon riurino their lives were -hA. backbone of the North Carolina Rail road, Mr. Shaver owning double the amount of stock of any- man - in tho State. There is not a -'- man in this county that has any feeling against railroads. we want to see tnem prosperand more of them built and succeed in business. Mr: Ross : only asks that he be allowed to put ' his cotton in New yorkJ as cheap as , a buyer in your citv, or our South Car olina shippers it is only justice that it be granted him. - We paid our money to build the road that places us on the way station list. With the business we givef them we only ask a proper recognition at their hands. Rowan county has no ill r feeling for . . ,.r . i . L- i . u . a. unanoiie, congrai uiung uer w she has been blessed wjth other folks railroads touching her borders - and make ' a thriving business town, Should the Reagan interstate " corns merce bill, that is" now pending in Congress, pass, don't fail to have a clause inserted protecting Charlotte's shipping interest. We have an eye to business and win not oe forgotten in its passage; and wish our sister town all the prosperity that can be heaped upon her, and beg that The Observer will aid us in na ving justice conceded to us. : ; v ... c ! 9,wax. - If Mr. Ross had been desirous , of testing the validity of section 1966, of the Code, he could have brought one suit, instead . of ninety-eight.. The fact that . he brought"; ninety eight suits to test the question of discrimi nation against Salisbury, is an argu ment that he is hot entirely unselfish ih his present course. - : But h&s there been discrimination against Salisbury ? " This ' is a lega, question which , may or may not be decided m the auirmative. All honor to Fisher and Sharer, who were progressive men in ? their. day. We would noUrob a gem from their diadem of honor, but we submit that their railroad record has little to do with a question of freight discrim ination of today; or whether or f not Mr. Ross is justifiable in bringing ninety-e'ght suits to test the consti tutional validity of a single section of the Code. We know of no particular reason why we should be the friend of the Richmond & Danville Railroad Com pany, except that as a oorporatipn, having the power to do so, it has done more for North Carolina than any other corporation that has ever ex isted within her borders, and for that reason, if we had no other, we should like to see it get justice at the ; hands of. our law makers," and our law ad ministrators.
