The two State Republican Executive Committees which have just met in Ral eigh have called a State Republican Con vention to meet in Raleigh on the 6th of June next. The call is addressed to "Republican voters and to all others, without regard to past political affilia tion, difference, or aetion, who favor a protective tariff, the repeal of the inter nal revenue taxes, the Blair educational bill, the immediate repeal of the l resent county government system, untrammeled registration, free vote, and a lair count. the modi licat ion of the present road laws; who oppose the passage and en forcement of tne no-fence system; who favor the abolition of the penitentiary and the employment of convicts on the public roads.

Dr. II. B. Weaver has bren absert from the city two weeks and returned vester day. He, with a party of friends and the Reems Creek Fox and Deer Hounds, went on a hunt through the counties of Yancsy and Mitchell, going as far as Cranberry in the latter county. They had splendid sport, caug.it live foxes and two deer, but ran a large number of the latter in the neighborhood of Flat Rock in Mitchell. These would break for a large boundary which is kept posted, and this always proved a place of refuge for the deer. Dr. Weaver says Mitchell county is certainly improvise, and stibf-tantially. The Three C.s Railroad u rnberry is considered a ceiiaintj,ai.d overything is stimulated thereby. Mica mining is again becoming active, as a heavy demand for that art'cie l.ss suddenly sprung op. The Clarissa Mine, which has been idle for some time has again been put in active operation, with con tinued good results. In Yancey he f Jund the people more than anxious concerning the Asheville, Burnsvillc and Cianberry Rail Road, and ready to do anything within their power, by way of subscription, to secure it. They are universally anxious for rail road connection with Asheville, and they may be assured the people of Ashe ville are not in tie least unmindful of the groat mutual advantages of such a line, and when an opportunity effirs will show their interest by their works.

He seems satisfied with the result of the tJp. Capt. J. R. Neill of Bald Creek, Yancey, is in the city ' with some fine tobacco, to be sold to-day. We hope he will gat a big price for it all. Dr. W. II. Baird has just returned from a short trip to his old home in Mississippi. He savs he has never known the people of that State so prospsrous, or as having so much money, as now. We .much regret to learn of the death of Mrs. Mary A. Browder, of Raleigh, daughter of our friend Col. L. L. Polk, which occurred at Raleigh on Tuesday. The familv have our sincere sympathy. We heard a fanner say yesterday that the farmers of Buncombe were, generally, in better condition than he had known for years. With plenty supplies on hand for all home pur poses, and to spare, all they have to have money for is to pay taxes, and this they will soon be able to do if they are not already prepared. After Ibis they can sit unmolested under their own fig trees, so to speak, and enjoy the fruits of their labor. The Charlotte Chronicle, speaking of the retirement of Mr. Stone, says: "We learn with sincere sorrow that Jordan Stone, Esq., has with drawn from the Asheville Citizk.v, and will leave the State. Ihu is a great loss to the Citizkn, to Western North Carolina and the entire State. He is a practical, energetic, wise, successful businessman, and news paper manager; and a citizen with a heart and enterprise that aceom plished much in the up-building of Ashevilie, and his entire section of the State. Our best wishes follow him to his new and distant home in California. The Smoky Mountun Sinking A Sensation from Swain. Weare'informed bythe Morr3itown Gazette that North Carolina wagon erc, who arrivsd in Knoxville last week from Swain county, report a bij; depression in the Smoky moun tains on the Stats line near where the Little Tennessee river passes through. About ten acres of the mountain side have.caved in,taking trees, stone and every tiling, to the depth of one hundred feet. The earth for several feet around is oven as if there would be another cave in soon. The place is several miles from any house, and on one of the highest peaks of the mountain. This is near the line of the road leading from Swain county to Knoxville. How a Live Town Works and With What Results What More Rail roads Do. An exchange informs us : "At a recent meeting of the "Com monwealth club," composed of capi talists of Durham, steps.wera taken to ha'-e that town connected by tele ph me with Raleigh, Charlotte, Win ston, Wilmington and o:her places of commercial interest in the State. The erection of a 100,000 hotel was also discussed in a miost favorable manner. A wealthy cotton manufacturer from Providence, Rhode Island, has been in consultation with the club, looking to the establishment ofl a mill of 15,000 spindles, costing 1250,000. All these enterprises are the out growth of the recent railroad schemes in that section of the State." Two things are suggested by the above which we wish to impress upon the people of Asheville. First, the advantage of united action, and sec ond, the effect of new competing rail roads on a community. These need no elaboration. They, cany their own suggestions, and we Mncorely trust wilt carry conviction, Especial Attention Is invited to the large array of popular remedies to be fmicd ai IVliigm's I'har niaey. near the poet office.

Bort Denison. . . " .s Among the prettiest places to catch the eye ot the searcher after Christ mas presents is the elegant jewelry store of Burt Denison on Patton Ayenue, op posite the Grand Central Hotel. It is elegant in every respect. In size there is "ample verge and foom enough" for the full display of all the beautiful ob jects that tempt the eye and reward the choice; and the exquisite neatness and refined taste that rale in the arrange ments are charmingly appropriate to the beauty, the delicacy and the richness of the articles exposed to iew. A striking feature of the equipment and one that adds largely to the convenience of inspec tion are the large flat show cases, pUcrd below the level of the eye, and easy and thorough examination is had from abov,. The first of these cases on theleftis filled with solid silver 'case" goods. Thsss cases are rich in material and splendid in coloring. Then comes 1 case of plated goods, scarcely less tempting and not less beautiful than their full b!odcd silver neighbors. The oppose case on the right is filled with tine gold chain? brooches, collar buttons, pin?, &c, and the f.urth and last is filled with jewelled rings, gold watches and rario is articles of ornament. The large upright casej standing against the walls have their shelve tilled wuh plated pitchers, trays, castors and ether household goods in styles in which the highest principles of advanced art have been enlisted to add to value all the charms of elegance. A marked feature in Denison's display are the clocks, the styles of which run riot in rare, unique end elegant designs These are so baautiful and so varied in their forms that they do not fail to attract attention and win admiration. There are many other things wh'ch we leave to the visitor to discover and find delight in. We fee! sura no one will fail to find extreme pleasure in a visit to Denison's. Difficulty at Turnpike. A rumor reached us last night of a difficulty at Turnpike yesterday even ing, in which some shooting was in dulged in, but we could hear none of the particulars. Dr. Burroughs was hastily summoned, and responded promptly. Wre hope no one was se riously damaged. Henderson Items. From the Times of the 12th we take the following: Owing to some "hitch"' with the purchasers of the zircons in New York, the work in the Green River zircon mines has been at a standstill for several weeks, but operations have been resumed, and about forty hands are now busily engaged in mining the precious ores. Capt. M. C. Toms has purchased Prof. W. E. Ilidden's interest in the mines which are now the sole property of Capt. Toms and Mr. H. G. Ewart. the forme! gentleman owning two thirds interest anil the latter one- third interest. There is now a demand for the zircons which is permanent and insatiable, unless many other mines shall be discovereil in other parts of the world, and this is improbable, as men are searching in every place for new discoveries, but, so far. without success. The Green River mines when full' opened will furnish employ ment for at least one hundred or two hundred hands, and the wealth they will bring into the county 18 incaU culable. Maj. Theodore G. Bark er is having the way clere.i of tim her and other obstiuctions for an extension of his Ochiawaha canal, by which he proposes to drain the large body of fine lands owned by him. The canal wiil.be at least two miles long, and will prepare hun dreds of acres of the richest lands in Western Carolina for cultivation. The great improvements which aie being effected by the Major will prove ot incalculable benefit to the county, by preparing the way lor the drainage of the entire Ochiawa ha valley, and when this shall have been fully accomplished Henderson will have undisputed claims for being the richest farming county in the Western section of the State. The trial of Bony Laughter and J. S. Lyda, for the murder of S. M King, sr., as reported in the last issue of the Times, was concluded on Tuesdav. Laughter was commited to jail to await a hearing at the next term of the court, and was ordered to the Asheville jail for safe-keeping. Lyda was released on $1,000 bail.

Senate: Hoar from the committee on privi leges nd elections presented a re port in the West Virginia case. He said that the report is unanimous. The questions raised were very sim ple or.ee, and easily comprehended. One of them had been, long ago determined by tlie Senate and he su -posed that all the Senators had had occssion to reflect on the other. In order that the Senator be enti tled to his st it and might enter at oitte upon his duties, he hoped there would be no objection to having the report disposed of at present. The report was read at length. It concludes with two resolutions: One declaring that Daniel H. Lucas is not entitled to his seat; and the other declaring that ChailesJ. FauU kner lias been elected Senator from the State of West Virgi.ii . for the term of six ve.trs. commencing the 4'.h of March 1SS7, aud is entitled lo his seat in tha Senate as such a Senator. Resolutions vvero agreed to viva tyce and the oath of office was thereupon a-iministeredto Faulkner. Mr. Il-.iar then moved that Mr. Faulkner be assigned to the comm it tee3 on Claims, of the District of Columbia, Mines and Mining, and Pensions. Agreed to. Harris from the committee on rules reported an aaiendment to the 3id lule. That i rule provides that where an adverse report is made oa a claim, and the report agree 1 to, its.iallnot.be in ortfer to move to take the papers from file for the purpose of rtfering them to a sobsequetly session unless the petition states that new evidence lias been discovereil, and the eub stance of it. The amendment is to add to the rule a clause that in cases where there is no adverse re port, it shall be the duty of the Sec retary of the Senato to transmit all such papers to the committee in which such claims are pending. Agreed to. Among the bills introduced and referred were the following : By George To protect the inno cent purchaser of patented articles, miking it a valid defence against actions for infringement if that arti cle was bughtlor use or consump tion, not for sale, an i in good faith and in tlir ut-ua.1 couise of trade ; and providing that all p. tent sha 1 bo subject to purchase by the gov ernment for g.mer W usu at a rcson able valuation. Referred to the committee ou Patent?, alter an effort had ' been made to have it sent to the judiciary committee. The Senate then took up the bill introduced by Morrill to regulate immigration, and was addressed by that Senator. In explanation and advo3acy of the hill, its main object, he said, was to li -ve a character of foreign immigrant t'xaminral, Srst by U.-S. Consuls itt puits of depart ure instead at the ports of arrival-. The foreign idea, he said, w: that the United Slates invited freeimmi gruti'in regardless of the character of immigvants, but the American idea was that it never really offered an aylum too nviois, to irreooncil able euemies oi" the law and order, or to occupants of the o d world's insane asylums and workhouses. The. doors were left open only t uereons of good morl character. The fact thit nearly five million immigrants had come to this coun try within the last ten years proved that the question was one of very great importance. The great Amer ican principle of free admission of immigrants was not proposed to be abandoned ; but that principle ha 1 ralyfa3'S heen on the condi tion that immigrants should be of good moral character, and should be ab e to support themslves At the conlusion of his remarks, Morrill moved th .t his bill be referred to the judiciary committee but it being suggested by that committee that the subject more properly belong to ihe CQmrnitiee on Foreign Relations, he moved thr.t reference.' The j latter motion was agreed teH and then, after ten minutea in executive session, the Senate adjourned.
