The Senate to day after a week's discussion passed the bankrupt bill. Seuator Edmonds who had charge of it having persistently pressed it Upon the Senate, and refused to nllow any ;m.asure to be introduced which might set it aside for any time whatever. The bill is very much moiv lenient t. ihe debtor class than the nil law, One o its principal features being that a debtor who viupenda the payment of his paper cannot be forced into bankruptcy under forty days. The bill further reduces the fees of" bank rupt officers to one-half of that which they received under the old law, and provides that any arrangement for a settlement be tween a bankrupt and his creditors shall be higned by at lead one-half of the creditors representing one-half of the indebtedness. Suits to recover all sums under $500 may be brought in a State court under an order from a Federal Judge having charge of the estate. Bankrupt officers are required to 'make full reports of all facts in connection with cases coming before them to the dis trict court, and the clerks of district courts aie to report to tlio Attorney General Sear." .. . every All notices of sales by any asi"noe j or ! onicer of the court ihall be nnhl iivxMiiiuur nr iihivsii iiic t.. u . .4...: . 1 V 1 ---r--1-. v ui: lll-Mgli:illMl by the Judge, which in his opinion shall be best calculated to trivi. r. r to wii: eaie. -kf JOllll UuilK-.V A.lnmc .no rf .1... -r-.v . . )h,o,.l, .,i - ' . uifaiij, mien ue vuiiMiivns uiai an egg is h rXvt T V r ,"j,is' miule a T'i i i VMIMr " ,hafc,-l,e aist the J V, ,, ... , "V,- IH'Ali llllllT vcu uiiMi. ho iii'Vt tin ri .i tne world will Know, Massachusetts will be juruiug up its up at li,j:imill Fl,ulLlia and rlynjouib Kock, and then what ?

The South has suffered so much is suffering so much from a political tyranny without parallel in the history of professed republican governments that we regard no election at the North with much favor that does not tend to bring relief to our suffering people. This may be sectional it is selfish, as we have confessed it certainly is true. From our stand point, therefore, we are not yet satisfied that we have much cause for hope in the late "Reform'" successes. How much room there is even for congratu lation, we cannot tell. It may be that ex-Governor Rooth, the "Reform" Senator elect from California, may not be a Radical Republican. We trust not, but we prefer to watch his course before we throw up our hats over his elec tion. We do sympathize in his fight against the railroad subsidies of his State. Will he sympathize with us in our fight against the Federal tyrants who are ruining the South? We shall see. T.. T. ...... UT..C. Legislature has elected a Radical Republi can Speaker of the House. This is a local matter in which we have little political in terest, and mention it only as indicating what would have been the result if a Sena tor had to be elected. Kansas was still to be heard from. Pomeroy had left the Senate in disgrace?, and was detected in his criminal efforts to get back. His trial is now pending before the State Courts. Caldwell, the other Senator, had resigned to prevent expulsion. This suemed too much for the people of Kansas, and a great "Reform" revolution set in and swept that. State. The Legisla turemet, and for weeks they balloted for Senator. On Monday last, ex-Governor James M. Harvey, v!i-, according to local authority, "co.-nes well recommended," was elected. The successful candidate is repre sented to be a "straight Grant Republican." He was elected by a combination of the "Reformers" and Radicals. In every ac count of him, the earnest friendship which he professes for every genuine reform meas ure is coupled with the fact that he is a "steadfast Republican." In other words we suppose he is for "reform" in Kansas, which is genuine, but opposed to "reform" in North Carolina and the South, which is bogus, one of your loyal reformists from whom we desire to be delivered. According to our simple ideas of things, we prefer the "reform" inaugurated in Ohio, which placed the old fogy Allen in the Gubernatorial chair, and that other old fogy, Thurman, in the Senate of the United States. These men doubtless are as much opposed to railroad monopolists as Booth and Harvey, but their reformation goes far ther and embraces reforms in t ho govern ment of the South. We stand ready to en- j dorse the result of the election in Ohio, we ! hesitate in regard t those in California, Iowa and It auras. We trust our misgivings are 'groundless. " e hope they are.

In futherauce of the proposed Immigra tion Convention in Raleigh on the 17th of March, (St. Patrick's Day), the Hqijgc of Whekeas, It is the interest of North Carolina to encourage in every laudable way immigration to the State, and Whereas, the people of North Carolina are ever ready to welcome with open arms all who come among them for the purpose of buy ing lands or engaging in any and every branch of the various industries of the State; Whereas, on the 17th of March, 1874, it is proposed by Father MoNarnara, to hold a grand Immigration Convention in the City of Raleigh, to testify our wish and desire to see the sturdy sons and fair daughters ami matrons of other nations come and possess the vacant places and idle lands in our midst; therefore, liesolced, That we, the Representatives and Senators of North Carolina, iu General Assembly assembled, most cordially appre ciate and endorse the suggestion to make the celebration of St. Patrick's Day the nccassion to assure, not only the worthy sons of Ireland, but those of all other nations, that we, the people of North Caro lina, extend to them a hearty welcome to our boarders and to assure them also that the laws of this State are sufficient and ample to secure to them all the rights and privileges enjoyed by native sons of North Carolina. liesolred. That we recommend to the people of North Carolina that they make the approaching 17th of March an occasion worthy of the object which the friends of the matter have iu view, by attending the proposed Convention, and giving expression to their feeling in this regard, as au earn est of our desire to attract population, skill and capital, that thus our country may be filled with industrious people; that our vast resources be properly developed, and that the good name of North Carolina may be widely known among the nations of the earth.

The sketches of eminent Baptist Minis ters who went from North Carolina, pub lished m the Biblical Recorder, "contain an interesting sketch of the Rey. John Kerr, a preacher of the early part of this century. The following curious incident is related : "During his abode in Halifax, Va., Mr Kerr was strongly tempted to ah.-indon the ministry and to enter on the practice of the Law a profession for which be had a strong predilection. The necessities of a growing family seemed to him not only to justify, but to demand the measure One day he was riding home, perhaps from preaching, revolving in his mind the ques tion of duty. The emoluments and honors of the legal profession were temptingly spread before his mind. His purpose was suddenly formed, and he rejoiced that the question of duty was at length decided. But his Master did not design to discharge him from the Gospel ministry. His horse took fright, he was thrown from his gig, and the bones of one leg dreadfully fractur ed. For several weeks he lay in excruciat ing pain, and all hope of saving the limb had nearly vanished. One night he fell asleep and dreamed that the Saviour came 1 i . i i to nun, ana, wun Deniguant countenance laying his hand gently on tlio wound, heale it. He awoke in an ecstacy.- Calling his family around him, he declared that hi limb was healed, and insisted that heshouh be permitted to use and walk. Iu this however, he was mistaken ; but, from that moment, he never experienced the slight est pain in the fractured member, and it healed with an astonishing rapidity, end of the afilictiou had been attained, desire to enter the practice of the Law Tin Al ha vanished: and never had the work o preaching Christ to guilty men seemed to hint so important, delightful and glorious, N. C. Legislature. Wednesday, Feb. 11. In the Senate the day was almost ex clusively occupied in the discussion on the various sections of the revenue bill, the most important of which was the amend ment to strike out $10 and insert $5 per night tax on theatrical companies, and 50 per quarter, instead of per month. Messrs, Waring, Seymour and others, advocated the amendment, and Mr. Merrinion opposed it. It was clearly shown by Mr. Waring that in 1872, when the taxes were as the amendment now proposed, the revenue in Wil mington from such sources amounted to $310, and last year wUen the taxes were increased to $10. the revenue amounted to $135. In this city the revenue in ia3 amounted to $ 135, and last year only a85 During the discussion, Mr. Merriir.on said that an audience of a thousand persons generally attended fust-class theatrical troupes in this city at from 75 cents to l per Head ; that he was present when Ole Hull gave his performance in this city at $1.50 per neau, ana over one thousand persons were in me nan. air. Heymour replied that Mr. Merri mons argument forcibly reminded him of the countryman that sent his five gallon cask to a gro cer to be lined with whiskey. The grocer returned the cask with a bill for six gallons of whiskey. As the, honest old countryman drew out his pocket dook to pay tne Dill he innocently remarked, "not that I mind paying for six gallons of whiskey, but 1 dislike to have my five crallon cask strained" He did not object to his friend, Mr. Merrimon, giving vyie uuu au auuiencc 01 over a thousand persons, but lie thought it rather hard on the proprietors ior mm 10 pacK inem away in a hall whose adver tised capacity was six hundred, and Ole Bull's re ceipts showed that he had even less than that num ber present. Thursday, Feb. 12. Skxate The bill making wagoners re sponsible for any damages that may be done by their tires passed its several read ings. The time of holding the courts iu the third district was changed. A bill establishing a bureau of statistics and immigration was established. Not more than $200, however, can be expended, a rather beggarly sum. Mr 1 rice offered an amendment to the general election Jaw, the effect that if the Governor should refuse to issue commis sions to the newly elected Judges, it shall be the duty of any Judge to administer the oath of office; adopted. The election bill passed its third reading. The revenue bill was considered, amend ed, discussed and adopted by a vote of 29 to 17. House The bill introduced by Mr for Gehee to sell certain public lands in aijd near Raleigh, for the benefit of the Univer sity, passed.

The Supreme Court of the United States has, within a short lime past, rendered five decisions which are of considerable impor tance as related to the question of local taxation. The first of these decisions de nies the right of Statea to tax imported goods in the original packages, on the ground that the right to import carries with it an unrestricted right to sell. The secoud denies the right of States to tax national property or national credit (bonds) on the ground that the right to tax carries with it the right to destroy. The third decides that the port of registry of a vessel is its proper domicile for purpose of State taxa tion. The fourth denies to States the power to tax bills of lading and all forms of com mercial paper between States, as a restric tion on domestic commerce ; and the fifth denies extra territorial operation to the tax la ws of a State, and under that head denies the right of a State to tax a'corporation on Us bonds or stock, or their' poupons, which are held out of the Coigtpbn'wealth. All these decisions are of 'general puldic interest and consequence. .

A comparison of figures will show that the present government of South Carolina costs nearly seven times what the last Conservative administration cost. For instance, in lSGo-'GO salaries were $7G, 461.63; in 1873 they were $230,797.39. Legislative expenses in 1865 were only 51,337. but in 1873 these expenses were $291,339.47. The total cost of the honest Conservative administration for one year was $266,248.04. The total cost of the Radical steal-all-you-can administration was 1,717,318.60. After all their grabbing the Radicals ran up a bill of deficiencies oi 540,328 nine times the cost of the Con servative government. First National Bank of Charlotte, CHARLOTTE, N. C. Officers.
