Weather Indication. North Carolina Fair weather, follow ed by rain, nearly stationary tempera ture, light to fresh easterly winds, in creasing in force. Mr. Dallas Dehart, of Swain, and Mr. Higden, of Macon, are in the city. Our frieed Col. Will Gudger, of Mar shall, graced our city with his presence yesterday. Turner advises all who want Christ mas ovsters to order t'tem through him at once. See his advertisement. Wagons loaded with tobacco continued to come in late last night. Sales are now getting brisk, and prices continue to look up. Judge Jiongomery sentenced Mr. C. L. Jenkins, convicted of libeling Mr. Tran tham, to three months' imprisonment in the county jail. Yesterday the weather was bright and beautiful, but was what the weather-wise call a weather breeder, fair and false. Look out for squalls soon. Three hundred tobacco wagons in the city in oe day, all leaded with the golden leaf, begins to look like business. AnU it is business, considering the excel lent prices obtained. Tim Supreme Court haa affirnd the judgments of the Superior Court in the cases of McCracken vs. Adler, Magruder vs. Shelton, both from Haywood, and has reversed the judgment in Clicx vs. Rail Road fiotn Madisos. Our types made us apply the word ''impossible" to a certain mud hole in a public thoroughfare, when we wrote "im passable." It is about the same thing. But the place is now impassable while it is not 'impossible" for the street guardians to make it all riht. Hon. Thos. D. Johnston was unani mously elected by the House of Repre sentatives at Washington to the n em- bersbip of the House committee on Con tested Elections. This is a very high compliment to our representative, one we are sure he fully merits. It is a very mportant committee, rendered more important by existing circumstances The Sci'Remk Court. The Supreme Court on Monday filed their opinion reversing the court below in the case of State vs. Giersch decid ing that Wine and Lager Beer are iuclud- ed in the terms "Spirituous Liquors," and he-ice these cannot be sold in those places where Local Option prevails Ibe opinion is somewhat ol a surprise, because the court very strongly intima ted that spirituous liquors did not include wine anil beer, in the fatate vs. iSas!i. The Tobacco Markst Is very active, so much go that the clerks at the warehouses wf re unable t take time to make out reports of sales in time fcr use in this issue. We regret this, for we would have been glad to have the euod news of active market and geod prices conveyed to our planter mends. The influx ot tobacco is mum greater than ever known here at this season. Very few are dissatisfied with prices of course ell are nut contented As a rule sales are based upon quality, and when that is good thrrt is nothing to find fault with. The market, we beg leave to remind our readers, closes on the 2Snd and opens again on January 2nd, 1S83. To Visitors. Visitors to the city, designing to stay for a month or more, will find it to their advantage to subscribe to the Dailt Cit izen by the month. Apart from the local interests which may be created by their temporary residence, they will find the telegraphic service of the paper full and ample to put them in quick possession of what is going on in tho world, together with the Congressional, market and other items of gsaeral interest. We are glad to My that several of onr visitors have already acted on this idea, yesterday a number 1 aving subscribed. Price 50 cents a tnoDth.

We would again suggest to all the im portance of depositing their cash in the banks for salety. It will be better for all concerned.

Mr. A. McCombs, of Asheville, a practical millwright and civil en gineer, invites work from the people of Y. N. C.

Ail parties desiring such work can consult Mr. McCombs, and obtain full estimates and particulars. The Knoxville Journal says'a fire occurred on the 12th on the beauti ful Island Home farm of Col. Dick enson, a place always resorted to by visitors to Knoxville. The house and principal barns were saved, but a shed building containing 75 tons of hay and other fortge was con sumed. The loss of so much feed will compel the ssle of some of the cattle on the farm. See th important notice of the Asheville Ice and Coal Company ; and don't conclude that it blows hot and cold all. in the eaia. breath, but fitly addretses itself to the needs of the reasons. Now it has cold weather in mind, and offers all sorts of the best coal in the market, and all the warmth and splendor that can be gotten out of the "black de mands, can be secured by leaving your orders for the Ice and Coal Company. We have frequently impressed upon our .readers the value oi our columns as an advertising medium, bo sure and certain that it seldom fails to bring about what is wanted. It eyen anticipates as we have had frequent lllustations : and the verr fact that it becomes known that a loss sustained was to be advertised in the Citizen has insured prompt recovery. We had an example I ucsday atternoon. A farmer Irom Madison had an ox to escape or be removed from one of the Ware houses last Thursday night. In vain he serched,in vain he enquired He came to the Citizen office Mon day afternoon, as a last resort, to advertise the lost animal. Ho had made known hia purpose to do so. A notice was written with full de scription ifcc, and banded over to the compositor. Our friend left us, but returnened in about an hour with beaming fact. The lost was found. It was back in the stall in the Warehouse, and the owner with implicit faith to the belief that the advertisement, though never made public, did tho business.

If you will pardon the intrusion I will give you a few items from Yancey, where your valuable paper has many friends, and should have many more in sub scribers. The tiiiers of the soil have been abundantly blessed in this county in this the year of our Lord P87. First they had a splendid wheat crop; one machine threshed over fifteen thousand bushels of wheat and oats three fourths of the amount being wheat. This mach ine belonged tc Messrs. C, W Edwards and Wilson Hensley, and was handled by the former. The oat crop was fin?, atid of corn there is enough and lo spare; it is simply enormous the best crop ov.r raised in '.! comity. The hay crop iu abundant, Yancey cutiiiis t bs tho best gruHs county ;n Western Carolina. But the trouble iu the farmed as no aarket for all this surplus. ur7. or a rail road to bear it away to market, on that point our people are not asienp. Un Monday last the Count; Commissioners made an order convening the Magistrates on Saturday the 17th to - consider the pro' priety ef snaking a subscription by the county to a rail road. Fifty thousand dollars seems to be the proper idea; and it w:ll be adopted with little opposition, We want Buncombe to understand that it is not the only county in the west that is interested in rail roids and we intend to show you that we are willing to meet you on half way ground, l ancey is rich in mineral, abounds in forests of the finest timber, a soil that yields generous ly to the tiller all the cereals, that grows tobacco as good as any, t le grasses aa well, if not better than, her sister coun ties and the root crops to perfection. Why, oh, why can't we have a rail road ! We are going to vote the fifty thousand subscription, and that before the 11th day of February next, to let Buncombe see we are not asleep, but are wideawake to our interests. The merchants of Burnsville, (and they are good ones) want a rail road, because they are tired of hauling their goods from Johnson City, Tenn., to which point all their shipments are mac"e for, the reason that freights are so much lower there than on the V. N. C. Road to Asheville, they can afford to pay the extra haul. This should not be. Asheviile loses a large trade by reason of it. The merchants of Burcsvilie are solid men, standing in front of S.ay's Hotel on yourrightis Jule A.

(By llirAj5 to tha Athsvills Oilizea Washington, Dec. 13. Senator Chandler has introduced a bill to regulate holding of congicsdonsl elections in South Carolin:;, Florida. Mississippi and Louisiana. It pro uides for the appointmeLt by the President, with the advice ana consent of the Senate, of four super visors of election of each congres sional district in the States to which the measure applies, who are re quired to sub-divide districts into a sufficient number of vo:iag pre cincts. In each precinct a circuit court of the United States is to ap- 1 point four inspectors and two poll I r! ir L- a ts i r n rat f wi o V r n tion of voters and conduct congres sional elections. Supervisors are to act as a canvassing board to receiye returns from inspectors and ascer tain and declare'the result of elec tions. Supervisors, inspectors and poll clerks are to be divided equally between the two principal political parties. The measure is made ap p'.icable only to the States of South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi and Louisana. It is elaborately drawn and contains minute provisions gov erning the whole matter of registra1 tion and conduct of elections, to gether with penalties for election frauds. To an Associated Pien reuorter who asked tor an expl tnation of the theory and purpose of the bill, Mr. Chandler said, it was drawn under that clause of the constitution which provides hat times, places, and manner of holding elections for rep resentatives in Congress shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof, but Congress may by law make or alter such reg ulations. He said the constitutional power is ample either to p?s a general lav? for ail States or one ap plicable to a number ofSlates ora special law in respect to any par ticular State. In reply to a querry as to his purpose in limiting the operation of the measure lo four States he said : "It is my desire to secure if pos.-ible the passage ol a National election law in tho" States where there is manifestly an avowed suppression of Republican suffer";. In Louisana Democratic le '.tiers declare their intention nit to allow the colored people to vote the Republican ticket and have also asserted their intention to set tle this question -vitnout th slight est regard to Northern sentiment an the subject Hsncs I think that both Northern sentiment and in terests should lead to the passage of laws to limit the suppressing of suf frage to elections for Slate officers and give us free suffrage for nation al offices." Chandler said his measure did not cover the Presidential electors for the reason that the constitution gave no authority tor it. He ex pressed a belief that the bill will pass the Senate and very probably pass the House. "That Miss Jones is a nice-looking girl' isn't she?"
