The following interesting sketch of the Southern Security Company is from the Oharletoji News; .Shortly after tin? war, when the South, paralyzed ami almost hopeless, with its 'railroad communications literally "broken 'up,'' was casting about for some, tneansof recuperation, Col. Ii. It. Hridgers, ol Wil jnington, N.' C, made an appeal to JJalti nutre for aid. Messrs. W. T. falters, li. V. Newcomer, Tints. C, Jenkins, Horace 'Abbott, George. S. Brown, Win. II. Gra ham, S. M. Shoemaker, aijd oilier liberal minded capitalists of that city, promptly stepped forward and advanced the means with which to repair and restock the Wil mington & Weldon Hailroad, and to erect 'the -splendid iron bridges which now span the two branches of the Cape Fear River, and also to construct, re-equip and cxicn 1 to Columbia, the old Wilmington & Man chester, now the Wilmington, Columbia & 'Augusta Railroad, furnishing for these pur poses some four and a half 'millions of dol lars. On April 5, 1871, the Southern Rail sway Security Company was organized by Messrs. Cass, Scott, Walters, Newcomer, Cameron, Riant, Jc.up and James, all men of large means, through whoso influence six 'millions of dollars ol capital stock were sub- gcribd and paid in The fir?. t President of the Company was ,Gen. G. W. Cass, who was (succeeded by James Roosevelt, and W. O. Huhart. In March last the ofliee was transferred to Columbia, r. C, and Col. John I?. Palmer, President of the Central National Bank, 'whose integrity ami financial ability are so well known, was elected President. The o:her officers are Vice-Presidents II. B. Plant, Esq., of New York, and Hon. R. R. Bridgets of North Carolina, the latter be ing General Manager. B. F. Newcomer, Esq., of Baltimore, is Treasurer. The object of the organization was to se cure the control of such Southern roads as might be essential to form lines between the principal cities of the South and Balti 'tuore' and Northern cities, thus oft'eiing in creased facilities" for through freights and passengers, and at such rates as would tend to develope the sections traversed. The Company invested nearly $1,000,000 in the purchase of stock of Southern railroad, completed the construction of the Ripley Itailroad in Mississippi,-a:id the Air Iine Road from Charlotte, N. C, to Atlanta, Georgia, the latter road, which has since been Bold to (he Pennsylvania Railroad ConipaYiy, requiring a very large out Ft y of money in addition to the amounts abjve referred to.

The f Mowing letter from the Chief of the Rur.au of Statistics at Washington, was banded us for publication by jL)r. TIios. D. ilo.t.r a leading citizen of Raleigh; JK'or Sir: In reply to yours of the 14th inst., I hae to state that the quantity of cotton exported during the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1874, was 1,358,002,303 pounds, and its v aln in currency, at ports of shipr ment, $211,223,580; or, reduced to a gold valuation, the average currency price of 100 gold during the year being $112, 8188,592,483. The amount of sugar imported during the same year was 1,594,345,000 pounds, of the value of $77,463,107, gold. The amount of foreign sugar consumed iu the United States, per capita of popula te,, the estimated number of the popula tion at the middle of the period being 42, 280,000 was, in weight 37 7-10 pounds, and in value $1.83 U. S. gold. This does not include molasses or mclado, a large quantity of which is annually imported and consumed. I am unable to give you a statement of the amount of sugar imported into Germany and Austria. As beet sugar is chiefly used on the Continent, the imports iijto those countries, and into Belgium and France, are comparatively inconsider able. The quantity of sugar imported into Russia in 1S71 is reported from official Russian sources to have been 4,419 pounds, of the value of 22,097 silver roubles; which is equivalent to 159,084 U. S. pounds, and of the value of $10,790 U.S. gold. The amount of money expended by citizens of the United States traveling abroad, I have usually stated at about 20,000,000 a year, estimating the num ber of such travel is at 25,000, and the aver age annual expendii lire of each at 800. Tlpj amount of inonyy brought into the country annually by alien immigrants, I have previously estimated at about 25 000,000. The number of aliens arriving during the past seven years, according to official returns made to this Bureau, aggre gated 2,020,759, making an annual average of 370,108. I have, ascertained that $08 was the average amount brought by each person so arriving, which gives a total slightly above the " estimate of $25,000,000. Edward You x, Chief of Bureau. Inauguration of the Governor of South Carolina. Governor Chamberlain was inaugurated before the Legislature at Columbia on the 1st inst. The hall' of the House of Repre sentatives was densely crowded with spec tators, including the Judges and officers of the State and Federal Courts, army officers and prominent members of the Charleston bar. Mus:c was furnished by the Eighteenth Infantry Band. After the oath had been administered by the Chie' Justice, the new Governor was greeted by a salvo of artillery outside of the State house. Gov. Chamberlain then delivered his in augural address, foreshadowing bis policy for the reform of governmental abases in South Carolina, lie calls attention to the fact that in the late canvass the two politi cal parties which sought supremacy were equally emphatic-in their demand for the correction of abuses. Only two parties ap peared at the polls, both ol which professed to seek similar ends by similar means, lie says he will, therefore, rely for support upon those members of the General Assembly who were opposed to him as confidently as upon those who favored his election. The paramount duty, he say", is the en forcement an.l practice of economy and honest v in the admiiiKt ration of the;overn mcnt. lie admits that the valuations ol property for taxation have been unjust and oppressive, but the total assessments have been reduced thirty or fortv million dollars this year, and he stands ready, he says, to co-operate with the General Assembly In any measure calculated to obtain a just valuation of all property for taxation, and so far as the execution of the law depends upon the officers appointed by him, no county shall have just cause for complaint. lie makes numerous suggestions of i economy by cutting down all expenses, es- pecially the printing system, which he de ! clares to be incapable of defence or excuse. and the cost of which in three years has been 918,029. He urges, also, that the expenditures of the State be kept within the receipts, and in the matter of abolishing unnecessary offices ami reducing salaries, he will arec to anv measure which the General Assem- ', blv may adopt. 25 ' In emphatic words thf Governor declares that the settlement of the public debt, un der the act of hist winter,. must be regarded ! as final, as far as legislative and popular in tluence ami action can nuke it so.

XmihvldtU empcl, (&xctvlollc, Legislature of North Carolina.- Tuesdat, Dec. l." Skswte. Mr Marler's general bill for the relief of Sheriffs, fcc, passed its third reading. The bill is for the collection of tin- arrears of taxes for the year '72, 73 and '74. Under this act no person or persons shall be compelled to pay taxes who will make oath that he or she has paid the same or believes the same to have been paid, and no executor - or administra tor shall be compelled to pay such arrears of taxes. The IIousu rejected the above mentioned bill. Mr Jenkins of Cleaveland, introduced a bill for the adjustment of the Public Debt of the State, which bill provides for the is suing of new bonds, payable at the expira tion of thirty years and bearing six per cent interest, to be exchanged for the old bonds in tho following manner: The Treasurer shall exchange the new bonds at the rate of 25 cents on the dollar for bonds issued before the war, called old bonds, and interest on same; shall exchange the same at the rate of 20 cents on the dollar for bonds issued since the war but under acts oi the Legislature adopted before the war; shall pay 1G cents on the dollar for bonds issued during the war for internal improve- rneiits; shall pay 12 cents on the dollar tor bonds issued for funding the interest on the public debt of the State under acts of the Legislature of 18G7-'GS; shall pay 1 0 cents on the dollar for bonds issued since the war" under the ordinance of the Con vention and the several acts of the Legisla ture, (not to include the Special Tax bonds.) The bill w as referred and ordered to be printed. House. Tlie bill concerning the home stead and personal exemption law was con sidered. The bill is as follows: Section 1. The General Assembly of North Car olina do enact, Every homestead and the dwelling and buildings 'belonging thereto, not exceeding in value one thousand dollars, to be selected by the owner or his agent, or in lieu thereof, at the option of the owner, any lot in a city, town or village, with the dwelling and'buildings belonging thereto, owned and occupied by any resident of this State, not exceeding one thousand dollars in value, shall 'be forever exempt from sale under execution or other final process obtained on any debt contracted after the ratification of this act. But no property shall be exempt from sale for taxes, or the payment of obligations contracted for the purchase of said premises. Sec. 2. Nothing in this act shall prevent a labor er's lien for work performed for the person desir ing such exemption, or a mechanic's lien for work done on the premises. Sec. 3. This act to take effect from and after its ratification. Mr Boyd offered an amendment chang ing the phraseology so as to strengthen the bill. Mr Fields desired a postponement until to-morrow, that he might have more time to consider the bill, &v. The postponement was voted down, and also the amendment of Mr Boyd, which was opposed by Mr Strong. Messrs. llanna, Means, Strong and Moring advocated the bill without amend ment. Mr Gudger offered an amendment to in crease the homestead to $2,500. lie would support the bill if it was so amended, but would not if the amendment was not ac cepted. The yeas and nays were called on the second reading, and the bill passed by 99 yeas to 0 nays. On the third reading of the bill, Mr John sou offered an amendment providing that the homesteads under the new act be laid off and duly registered. Mr Johnson urged the adoption of the amendment, stating that it would in no wise interfere with the bill, but would be a source of information to creditors and others not obtainable else where. He was not opposed to the bill, but thought the amendment necessary in order to benefit all classes of our citizens. The amendment was lost. Mr Pinnix offered an amendment provid ing that the homestead shall be laid off and appraised, &c. Lost. Mr Gudger offered an amendment pro viding for the amount of exemption to be $1,500 iiotead of $1,000. Lost. Mr Bovd offered an amendment providing that the homestead shall be exempt to the owner thereof and to his heirs. Lost. The bill then passed its third and final reading. Wednesday, Dec. 2. Sknate. Mr Ilargrave offered a resolu tion to lake recess on the 15th of this mouth and meet again on the 4th of Jan uary. Mr Cook amended to adjourn sine die on the 15th. Mr Cant well proposed to recess from the 14lh of this month to the loih (d January. MrUusbee wished from the 20th of this month to the 15th of Jan uary. Mr Hell was for the same. Mr Waring moved to lay the whole thing on the table. Hefused. Mr Cook amended his amendment so as to-read to adjourn sine die on the 22d of December. Lost. Mr Husbee amended again from the 21st of De cember to the 3d Monday in January. Mr Williamson favored Mr Husbee's amend ment he was a farmer, and it was neces saiy for him to have some little time in that mouth to make such arrangements as all farmers have to make. Mr Love moved to lay the whole matter on the table. Lost. Mr Morehead moved to postpone the ques tion until id:y at 12 o'clock. Lst. Mr Wariiig was for business, and let recess alone call a Convention and adjourn sine die b- the 22d. If we don't call a Conven- j tion, theij there might be some necessity for j coining back. On motion of Mr Linney, ! ihe previous question was called, and Mr Hibet jk amendment (to adjourn from the 21st of I)ecember to the 3d Monday in Jan uary) was carried ayes 35, nays 12. Ilqusji. Mr Blvthe introduced a bill in relation to Judges and Commissioners. Mr Pinnix introduced a bill to bo entitled j an act declaring the shares f stock in cor- positions to be personal estate. Also, a j hill pro iding for the enforcement of de jcrees in equity rendered prior to a certain act of lsoo. The bill for the more effectual prosecution ! of offenders against the criminal laws of the state, passed Us second and third readings. The bill for extending the time of sheriffs and tax collectors for settling with County and State Treasurer was rejected. Mr Hoyd introduced a bill concerning fees of jailors, and to repeal section 40, chap ter 105, Battle's Revisal. A Bill repealing the law giving magis? jtrates jurisdiction of cases of lurnicaiioo and adultery passed. Mr Porlch of Wayne, jntrodneed a bill amending the present usury law so as to apply to banks, ami providing for a forfeit ure of double the sum loaned in case of vio lation. We think that usury laws work great injury to our people. Money is the representative of labor. If a man "works one hundred days and gets one hundred dollars and lends it to a neighbor he is not allowed to charge him more than eight dol lars for the. use of it for a year. But if he buys a horse with the one hundred dollars he can hire him to a neighbor for a year, charge him twenty-five dollars hire (or 25 per cent on his hundred dollars) and nobody's feelings are hurt. Usury laws defeat, the object for which they are passed, They make interest high instead of low; since lenders will always charge more than the wortli of their money in tlie way of insurance. Supply and demand regulate values, or rather the cost of production. All usury and other laws of like character do more barm than good. Thursday, Dec. 3. Senate. A poison bill, for the preven tion of suicides and murders, was intro duced by the Judiciary Committee. It re quires all meichaiils and druggists in the State to take a receipt, from all persons who buy arsenic, strychnine, nux vomica, corro sive sublimate, canthai ide. ergot, croton oil, oil of savin, and aconite the receipt staling name of person, time of purchase, his place of residence, and for wdiat purpose he wishes the medicine. The penalty is a misdemeanor punishable by $50 fine or im prisonment. J he bill passed its second reading. A long and foolish discussion was had on a bill introduced bv a Radical to give aid to North Carolinians who helped the Yan kees to conquer the South. After much talk the bill was rejected as it ought to have been without discussion. Mr Waring introduced a bill to amend the Constitution, requiring a receipt for poll tax before a person shall be entitled to vote. Referred to Constitutional Com mittee. Mr Morehead introduced a bill for the benefit of disabled North Carolina soldiers. It provides that the soldiers disabled by wounds received or disease contracted in the military and naval service of the Con federate States or State of North Carolina in the late war between the States, shall be exempt from certain specified license taxes. House. Mr Presson offered a bill to in corporate Pleasant Grove Camp Ground, in Union county. The bill to regulate the fees of jailors was taken up. It-repeals the law now in force, and leaves it discretionary with County Commissioners at their January meetiug to fix the fees. Referred to Com mittee on Salaries ami Fees. A message was received from the Gov ernor transmitting to the House such infor mation as was in his possession concerning the alleged charges against J. C. L. Harris. The communication of the Governor and the protest of Solicitor Harris were read, when, on motion, the voluminous pile of evidence, taken before the Governor, was referred to the Select Committee wiihout being read. Friday, Dec. 4. Senate. The Amnesty bill was consid ered. It grants full pardon, except for rape, to all persons now outside of the State for kukluxing and other disorders. Mr French said ii would be good news to carry home, that the mothers would rejoice to welconje home their boys to the Christmas holidays. Mr Cantwell moved to amend by putting in the name of W. VV. Ilolden, and followed his amendment with a speech, declaring he would vole for the bill whether the amend ment was adopted or not, but he asked the Senate to display some magnanimity to wards a fallen foe let us embrace this man. Mr Husbee trusted that Mr Cantwell would withdraw his amendment and let it come up again as a separate matter. Mr Cant well asked Mr Husbee if he would vote for it it he did. Mr Busbee answered that he had some doubts of its constitutionality. Mr Cantwell then asked, if that doubt be removed, what ? Mr Husbee replied that tlie Senator put too many "ifs" in. He would state this, that he was not prepared now to vote against a bill of that sort, but he would vote against this amendment if Mr Cantwell pressed it. Mr Cantwell then withdrew it. Mr Ilolton explained that in voting for this bill be voted not as an endorsement of the crimes of these per sons but simply as an act of mere v. The i bill passed its third reading ayes 40, nays G. Mr Cantwell offered a joint resolution in favor of W. W. Ilolden. removinir all his disabilities. Mr Graham moved to in definitely postpone not in order. Resolu tion laid over one day. The bill concerning the sale of deadly poisons came up on its third reading. Mr Walker amended to add opium and its com pounds. Also, substituting a memorandum to be kept by each merchant or druggist instead of takintr a receipt. Mr Cantwell added oxalic acid. Amendments adopted. On motion, the bill was indefinitely post poned. Mr Cantwell introduced a bill reqniring certain banking and insurance companies to give additional security. House. The House concurred with a resolution of the Senate to adjourn from the 2 lt of December to the 3d Monday in Jan uary. The bill to amend the charter of the Car olina Central Railway Company was con sidered. MrMeRa advocated the passage of the bill. Mr Whinant moved to pist- pone until next Fridav and print, which motion prevaneo. in Fatal Accident. Mr John S.

Private bills, the public priming, amnesty, and the Slate debt are the subjects that seem to demand the attention of ihe Legislature. One of the curses of these limes is class, private, or special Legislation. The legislation on the public priming alone of late years costs the people fifteen or twenty thousand dollars at each session. What need we have for more amnesty laws, we are unable to devine. We are inclined to think that if there was less amnesty and more p'unishmeiit for law less chaiacters, ihe people at large would be better off. Salisbury Watchman. gT This section of the country is flooded wilh suspicious looking characters, and many of them are known to be rogues, pickpockets and gamblers. It is an every day occurrence that these scoundrels fleece some unsuspecting person out of their hard earned money. A young fellow from Samp sou county lost about $100 dollars in a gambling operation with two oi these sharpers, in this place, on Tuesday last. There is a crowd of these rogues perambu lating through this section, ensnaring the unsuspecting whenever they can. They generally act as confederates, though pre tending not to know each other.
