THE GLEANER g».u II I I SHAll.il N.C, mntrrlhi, 1881, , T. B. EtD«ID6E, V 71 J. P. KERNODLE, f f 1 VOLCJIESEriINTU. With this i»sue the GLKAKBR com-. Piences a nesr volume. How eventful its career hitherto hen been we ere noc pi epar>d to sey, our connection with it not having besn of a year's duration. Nor can we tell what its future will be; but the earnest effort* of the editor* will at all times bo used to make the GLSAN kr a readable, newsy j aper. Measures beneficial will always reeeive our hearty support, and those deemed noxious with bad policies and evil tendencies, an equal amount of oondemnatiou. The influence wi;Ued by journals ia immense, almost inoompreheusible. Those of small as well as those ot large circulation have a proportionate amount of influence. With thft support of the good men of AJamance county we see a field of great usefulness before'us in ths near future, , The GLBAHPK ia only a eounty news* paper, but such has been its conduct heretofore thst it has gained quite a cir> culation in other coontiee; and those who have sought homes iu the far west : find it the best medium through which to obtain the news from about the old. home. 11 I lT We are very sensible of our ineiperf. enoe in the journalistic art,—but we ire sot going to apologize. Our work has been before our readers for some months already, mod they know whatever of charity or uomnvfudatioo it.has been,and is worthy. We are not going to make any great, unreasonable promises as to what the OuuMta shall be; but whatever reputation it has gained wilt be main tained. t)uward, and (toward is the watchword of this progressive age, and all sciences snd arte must grow apace. There are no exceptions. Those unim proved must be consigned to oblivion. Newspapers arc not exceptions by any tneaß»; a stand still in them soon carries away their prestige. * * Our hope is in fhe herfrly 00-operation and support of those friendly -to the dissemmination of wholesome truths through the newspaper medium. We hope to have the continued favor and patronage of the people of Alamance and adjoining oounties. TUB LBOISIIATVRB. Tie attention of this body during the past Week, has been directed mainly to matters. Resolutions weie passed in the Senate, calling on the Governor for information regarding the present ownership of the Western North Carolina Rail Road. Qen. lm» bodeu, of Virginia, on behalf of the South Atlantic and Ooio Railway Construntion Company, submitted a proposition to purchase the State'a inter* est in the (Jape Fear and Yadkin Valley Rail Road for fifty-five thousand dollars, agreeing to oomplete the road to its terminus in Caldwell County within two years. A bill to inoorporate the Danville and Haw Rivet Rail Road was introduced in the bouse on Monday. The bill to permit criminal* to testify in certain cases, has passed the house. A Senate bill providing for the erection of a supreme oourt room, was tabled in the House. The attention of the Legislature has beeen oalled to a subject of prime im portance to North Carolina by some of our leading journals, among them the Southerner, Newt and Obtervet and Morning Star, that of appropriating a sum of money sufficient to make a cred itable exhibition of the vsst resources of the State at the New York World's Fair. It is conceded that this wopld be of incalculable benefit to the State by way of advertis'ag. Granting tbet sucb a course would result in no pecuniary advantage to the State, should North Carottniam be wanting in that State pride which would allow their own State to he forever out Stripped by her sister States? But * smjii appropriation, made by the Legis lature would doubtless hi compounded in substantial wealth to the State in a short # time. Our rich mines of the precious metals, ooal and iron, water powers, and the abundant varieties of our woods, s'jould all be extensively advertised. We want something of this kind to in* duoe capital and emigrants to seek our State. A hint to the wisdom of our Legislature ought to sufficient. Eight hundred business men of Sew York have signed a petition to Cohgreso protesting against il>e con fii mat ion of Stanley Matthews as associate justice of the Supttuie Court. Congress should ever be on the vetch to keep men, who are tainted with Impurity,"out of public office wirfra their owhrupUbility Mid in- i competence will work abj sjrious damage ! to anj class of Uie people. Above ell, none but the purest men should Jbe al lowed to sit ia judgment upon cfcuses between their fellow citizens. Virtue end fitness or " competency should be •absolute requisites in all official* holding bigh places of trust. When such e rule coves about, harmony end goad feeling will exist between the different sections of our country end not until then. The Cincinnati Commercial says, that Gen. Garfield complain* of fatigue from over-work and from the cea«ele*a throng of visitors that inoreaae as ths time ap proaches to go to Washington, It ia enough to fatigue anybody, when aln oat nvery caller wants an offios either for himself or some friend who is a good fellow. J.-i'tt* ,!!'J ii'.-ft • Bon. Fernando Wood, membet of 1 Congress from New York, died at the Hot Spring*, Arkansas, on the night' of the 14 b, inst. Thed e ted was elected Mayor of New York three times and for twenty years has been a member of Con greas. He was On* of the most useful member* of that body, i .( .»• i>» . AD unexpected delay has oocured iu the Untie, ol the revised Now Testament. It VII the purpoee of the gentlemen who bare charge of the revisiou to get it out this month, But they have gone beck to revise their own revision, which will BO doubt result iu greater perfection.. It has bee'u subjected to some severe critioism and those in charge ot the work are unwilling to put it out to the world iu any way faulty, after expending years ot labor upon it. 3o it will uot come oat before May. TBK F«KW SVAEEB UIIN The most important bill ofibe session VH introduced by Senator Merritt, of Chatham, on Saturday. It was the new public school bill, as agreed on by the committees on education of tho two bouses and which was on yesterday priuted aud laid on tho desks of ineni bers. We propose to not! a few ot the new j features ol this school bill as compared i with the law now i n force. The most prominent of these are: 1. It gives traveling expenses and clerical assistance to the Stale tl'iperiii tendent of Public Instruction. 2. It provides that the State Board oi Education shall select and prescribe a series of text books which shall be used in our publlo schools, but that only one book of an author shall be prescribed. 8. It abolishes the office of county ex aminer, aud substitutes therefor that of county superintendent ot instruction. This officer is to bo selected by the coun ty board of education and board ofoouu ty justices. He is required to examine candidates Who desire to teach; yUlt aud iuspcct the public schools in the county; advise with tcachvrs as to the best meth* ods of iustMrariOn; a>«Vibute the re« quired blanks to school committeemen; collect school statistics; countersign ail orders ou the county treasurer for school moneys; bold teachers' institutes and make the reports now required from the register of deeds and couuty examiner to the State Superintendent of Public luatrnetion. For these duties be is to receives compensation ofs3 per day for each day engaged—to be paid ont of the unapportioned school fund of the conn ly. > 4. it requires that the sohool funds of the «>uuty shall be spportloned on the first Mouday iu January hi eaeh year, and sbsll be based ou the actual amoout of money iu the hands of the county treasurer, and not ou the amount levied on tbsi tax list as the law uow stands. 5. Tbe county board ot education may annually apportion SIOO out Of tbe pnb school moneyi to deft-aygtbe expenses of toachera' institutes, and where k k deemed practicable or ndrltable a num ber of countice may nuitein one insti tute. 6. The sobuol year la ohauged to a* to correspond with tbe county d eal year, arid will therefore end November 80, In each year. 7. Twenty oentp la levied on each SIOO valuation of property tor achool pur* poses, and if thia with tbe eapitatlou lax, fiuee, &0., abali be insufficient to inalutain one or more achoola in each district of tbe ooduty for lour moutba in the year, then tbe county board of edu cation k required to levy % special tax to meet the deficiency. 8. Pupils and teachers, during the school term, are exempted from public road duty MM) school committeemen are likewise exempted ddtflng their term of office. 9. Additional safeguards are I brow a around the collection, baud ling and dh« J burscment of «c liool moneys, anil school I committeemen are required lo take J deeds lot' all school house tiles pig-chased by litem whjch,mu&t be regularly pros bated, recorded aud desposiled with the county for safe keep* '"ST. 2* 10. tichoo|6ouifnitteeinen are author*; 1 reed (a per full cost of school house sites, mud alsd lull oost of building, re pairing and tarnishing school houses. 11.

LITTII. (From Our Regular Correspondent.) . t ■•f «*: ; \Y ABHfNOTON, D. C. ( r • Feb. 16, 1881. \ i Tbe Senate ha* decided that American oommerce I* in a flourishing condition, that more ship* are being built now than ever belore, that it i* the dutv of tbe American Governmeut lo provide for tbe extension and increase of foreign commerce before Amcrioan, aud that our mail* can be better aud safer carried in foreignstecmabip* than in American. Every year thi* Governmet pay*out huus dreds aud thousand* of dollars to; foreign iieamship com|«iiie* for the privilege of IrtMisporting mail* iu their ship*. This year tho increasing wealth of the world, the development of new countries iuto sources of wealth would make it highly advantageous to tbe United State* to eas tablish commercial relation*. An amend meut was offered lo the l'oat Offlco ap propriation bill thi* year appropriating t1, 000,000 for additional mail tervice to be performed iu Amcricau ships.. This mouey was asked for a* thousands before it has, to simply make an extension iu our foreign mail service, but provided, which it lias never done hofore, that the new routca must be traveled by Amcr icau ships* Tbe bare idea ot giviug to Araericaus what foreigners could do as well, so alarmed fhe Senators that after S9veral day* discussion they luid the anieudmeut ou the,table. It will come | up again next session, however, wheu 1 , hope tbe Senate will look with favor upou a branch el wvr industries *o neg lected a* our O can commerce. The death of Hon* Fernando Wood, of New York was announced at the capital yesterday. The intelligence cast a deep gloom over all and both bousas after passing resolutions of respect adjourned. Iu the death of Mr. Wood the couutry looses an able representative, the advan tage of his clear judgement, ai.d well balanced miud. The Way* aud Means Committee of which lie was chairman, loose* a leader uot easily to be replac ed. • Ferntudo Wood was a membjr ot the Congresi which appropriated SBO,OOO fii aid of Prof. Morse's experimental tele graph Hue between Washington and Bal timore. Mr. Wood voted for the ap propriation, and was iu consequence de feated in his uext race for Cougress by ibe intelligent voters of his district, who couldn't tolerate a Representation who wonld waste public money on such chi merical projects as that .of transmitting intelligence upon wires strung upou poles. The members of the Senate Finance Committee expect to begiu the consider ation of the lauding hill to-day, aud to press the passage at as early a day as possible, iu order thai any difficulties which may arise between the Mouse aud Senate may be settled by a Ooufereuce Committee. \ ■; * ff '' Tbe great flood which inundated tally nw half of the city on Saturday aud Sun day aight, has receded, aud no one fens ticipatosa return of it. Tbe damage amounts to - several hundred thousand dollars. Tbe question of exempting from tax> at ion, lor a limited period, all the man ure taring enterprises that may be start* ed In North Carolina,le to oorne up betoro the Legislature in a lew d»ya. Tbe Tex as House of Representatives has voted it down. The objection—anil by no means an impotent one—is the injustice to manufactories already hi existenoe; and it would not be surprifing if the ac> tion of the Sooth Carolina Legblertare which adopted the measure would f«l to eecare a single eadoreeoieot from any other State, Such a policy would inets itably tend to enlarge iu variety and ex tent the nmunfaotaring interest, bat it is difffcnlt to see how it can be reconciled with equal Justice.

We have beard it oetiirated at more, but we will stop at that. There areprobablybut a few petitioners under the age of fifteen, oud as a considerable number ol pqopio in the state cannot wri'.e it would seem that about one half of those capable of doing so have signed these petition* praying 'lor prohibition.—News and Observer, 18th.

They advanced iu three columns, d first attacked tho Peruvian center with the bayonet, pierced it, aud turned its disordered fragments back on the right wiug, which, after two hours resistance, was routed. The Peruvian left wing held its ground for some time against the second column, when it retired to the hills alioVo Chorillos, where it made ans ether si and until 4 p. m., and on ftliraflires.
