Mr. Butterworth resumed his speech, begun yesterday, and continued in the same vein as yesterday; a general ranee of political subjects, without much reference to the bill under discussion. , Mr. Norwood, of Georgia, made a satirical and ironical speech in reply to that delivered by Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, some days since, ridiculing that gentleman's profession df friendship for the ) South ' bnt expressing his admiration i for the manner in which he had declaimed, the old story whioh waa as well: sno wn to the conntry as 14 The boy stood on the burning deck, or ,'Mary had a little lamb.

Then the gentlemaji had stepped forward, arrested the colunvn, and smil ing upon the Confederates: as gently as Brutus had smiled upon Caesar when he had invited him to take fa rest ait the foot of Pompey's column, had pro ceeded to address them in a persuasive strain, ending his speeoh ) with the de claration that he would rather spend an eternity in hell i with them than an eternity in heaven withj a Northern copperhead. 8peaking for himself, while he returned his prpfoundest ac knowledgements to the gentleman from Iowa for the offer of his society, if he should be so unfortunate as to eet on the wrong road and join the gentleman doWn below, yet he entered his most iiolemn and vigorous protest agabat ac cepting his delicate companionship for ne jwas persuauea mat no; engagement, however pressing,! would! prevent! the gentleman from arresting ; the column and mounting a red-hot stump insisting that it should listen to bun proclaim tie same old piece of politMHU-iaw, Tbe conclusion at whicb he (Norwood) had arrived upon ; bearing the' gentleman s speech was: that the gentleman I was afflicted with a disease common to pub- , known as' the Vox populi."

Augustine, Florida, to begin business, with a; capital of 50, Editou Nsws aks OssxWxa ; I see in your issue of yesterdar 91 article in defense of the Capital efubof this city, signed by "a member of. th) club." No one vbjeots to any on hfending tbo club, especially the drinking depart ment, for if anything favonble to it can be said, the community wjuld like for the dab to vindicate ltsef. But your correspondent eloses with he following tatemeatc i .'(l "This publication seemspecessary be cause of certain other '( publications grossly misrepresenting tjn objects 'and purposes of the club and it probable and actual effects in this community.; The writers'tbereof, from jbeir ealling, should have been especally osreful, in dealing with other menV matters, to be certain of their facts.; Set, neverthe-j lesa, tiiey have spoken ofleir neighbors: in maxrder which showa (Kem to have been either grossly misinformed or wil fully blind as to matters of fact. Out of large charity, we acapt the former solution. ; It may be added that tie Capital club: has 00 reason to avoid a jist and tern-: perate discussion of its mo-its, and that: it embraces amongHta memierB many who! can give a lesson in Chri&ian courtesy and charity to those wb 'should be,; themselves, examples of those virtues." Now, all who are convesant with the facts know that . your correspondent, in the above, is striking at be editor; of the Christian Advocate and the editor of the Christian Sun, thoujrh hs has not the; manliness to say so; and is si ther afraid, or ashamed, or is too modett to sign his name to what he writes. ' Out' of large charity" we will say he was too modest to sign his name. He mikes a graved charge against these two editors.True. hoi says they were "grossly mi-informed,' but it takes "large chanty" to pen thi palliation. It is very eaay for one to make a statement, especially when ha signs no responsible name to it. Let us ree if bis statements are correct. I ho gross misrepresentations which the Chris-I tiah Advocate made (I leave the Chris-! tian Sun to take care of itself, as it is amply able to do), were as follows : " V e see from the proceedings of the; board of aldermen that the "Capital Club," of this city, has been granted a license to retail liquor. In other words,; a club, composed of many of the lead ing and influential oitixens Of Raleigh,; has opened a respectable (?) grog-shop; in Raleigh. We regret to sec this. Wei are sorry to know that some of our best eitisens are helping to run this grog-: shop. It will 1 be the starting point to rum of many, a young; man. It will be a feeder to the -more degraded. rum-shops. It will make many a parent's and wife's heart acheo It will be a curs to BeigkwJcwy good nian is bound te disapprove it, No matter who goes there. If he Presidentv and the Governor and all the elite: visit it, it only makes it that much more m curse.; May God deliver us from all grog-shops, more especially from those? that havo about them the air of respectability. Christian Advocate, Feb. 10th We will state, as a matter of fact, that the club will not sell liquor to just any- body and everybody. The drinking es-: tabhshment is for the special benefit of the members and their guests only.: This may mend the matter lutho eyes of some. It does not in ours.-AChrutian Advocate, Feb. 17th. In a subsequent issue the Advocate stated, in answer to an inquiry from a correspondent, that there was not a single; Methodist in the club, and stated why some Methodists, atd members of other churches, who thought of joining, did; not, namely: because- they didn't ap-j prove the bar-room, or drinking depart ment. ' Now, the above are the so-called mis-' representations of the Capital club that the Christian Advocate made. Why didn't vour correspondent icive them and show them to be incorrect? Instead of going into personal matters, for we have no personal feeling in tbe matter,; and will not be led into personslitie, let ns see if 'the statements made by the Christian Advocate are misrepresent i- tions. In the first place the: Advocate; says the club was granted license to re ..Ti ? u- . ..ki:i.-j tail liquor. Jiour cr bv yuuiiaucu, Mr. Editor, and that made the item pub-j lie property The Advocate: then goes on to say that this means simply "tn-ve a club, oomposed ot many ot tne ieu i- ing and influential eitisens of Raleigh, has opened a respectable(t) grog-shop' in Raleigh"; and, for fear this statement might be misleading, In a subsequent: issue, the Advocate said, "The drinking' establishment is for the special benefit of the members and their guests only ."'; Are these statements true? Tour corre spondent says one can . have i "his glass of wine and stronger drink;" and you (mblisbed that they bad license to retail iquors. Now, what is a grog-shop? Mr. Webster says it is "A anop wnera grog and other spirituous liquors are retailed." And is the club ; not trying to make it respectable? The Advocate's interrogation expresses . doubt as to whether a grog-snop can : ne made respectable. Now, wherein is the 4.t:.. :.-i...L -4 'gross misrepreacuMuwu . ut w wutci Again.tbe Advocate sys it is sorry that some of our best eitisens are help ing to run this "shop where grog and other spirituous liquors are j retailed y Your correspondent says tne: ciud ess- braces among its members many who can give a lesson m christian courtesy and charity to tnose wno snouid ne, themselves, examples ot these virtues' If this be true, and we do not doubt it, is the Advocate s statement not true j in rtfereace to some, of our best oitisensf Tbe Advocate further says it anil he the Starting point to ruin of many a young man. Is thi truef j Will not some voune men drink at the club who nnM not fro to bar-rooms of ihe eitv 1 . " .. .. . . , get it, and doe not any who, has studied - the subject know that the first drink tne sterwng'ptnn w ruwc joung men are much more apt to think: that, they can drink without danger in a place where it is more respectable and where these so-called safe-guards are around it. I Thus they are deceived,; and when a young man begins to drink it is only a question Of time, in most cases, when it will end in his ruin. And. if this be true, if moderate drinking leads finally to drunkenness, and the club will not allow drunkenness in their house .will it not drive those who do eventually get drunk to-the more degraded rum-shops, and thus become a feeder to them? Time and observation will prove this statement of tbe Advocate to be too sadly true. i And if tbe above statements be true, and. we ; think they are, then all. the others made by the Advocate are true. It will - make many a woman's heart ache aye, it has, no ' doubt, already made some hearts ache. We met a gen tleman the other day from a city where they have tried these clubs. He had just; read our statement. He sad: "You arc right. We have two clubs in our city, and they are a curse to the young men." These clubs have been in existence in other cities in the United States for years. Their work has been observed :by some of the wisest and best men in the land, and the testimony that comes from some of those who are in a position to know is in accord with the statement made by the Advocate. I And, just! here, we are reminded of another evil that attends the club.. It has a tendency to rob the home of what every, married man owes to his wife and children namely : .his presence, when possible, at: the evening hour. When the cares of the day are laid aside, and the little ones are asleep, and the father has been away in his business all day, and the mother, for the first time since early morning, has the opportunity for a qUiei hour with him whom she loves, and has the family room all tidy and neat, she longs for the companionship of her husband. From early morn ing' she has been alone with tho children aid the servants, she has kissed away many, little bumps and heart aches and' answered a thousand and one calls for the children, has made her hus band's choice dessert, and at night-fall has safely tucked the tired little ones in bed and has "his slippers" and dressing gown ready. :, Surely the wife deserves a little of her husband's- time now, and will get it. He comes home, eats his tupper, takes his hat and is off to the club; and there aita the wife, whom he has promised to cherish, all alone by the fireside, longing for thecompanionship of him whose duty it is to give it, I do not say that any of the estimable gentle men, who are members of the "Capital Club," would rob one of their homes of its due ; ! but, I do fear there is a ten deney and a .temptation . to do this ; for, as an old negro preacher in the peniten tiary said to me when asked how he came to be there, "Boss, you; know de angels fcU." Your correspondent says, in substance, thxt 'treating" is not allowed. Here is what he says : ; "Buhe cannot invite any member to join pun, in drinking or eating or smok ing. . All treating is strictly prohibited. as is sJsq all gambling or betting of any kind," ; Is this correct? Here is what the by laws say about it : . "There shall be no treating : whatever between! members while in the club rooms. 'This shall not apply when one member is invited by another member to an' entertainment given by him to an invited guest. And members can be entertained by each other on special in vitation extended the day before." Now, Mr. Kditor, didn't your corres pondent misrepresent the club? I will not say-grossly, or wilfully. : Jt seems that a member can take any invited guest and "treat" him, and if an "in- members too, or by giving One day's KIICD .10 LSI CDCU b u, 1,1 v.tl notice beforehand, they can "entertain" rath other. A gentlemen, from a neigh boring town, comes to ruieign: tie nas been sadly addicted to drink, but is making an honest effort to quit it. A member of the club invites him to visit it. It is a nice, social place, -No dan ger there, not a bit of it ! He is social, wants to be in nice, genteel company, end goes. He is delighted? He is asked o take refreshments. Of course he will. His "appetite spurs' him," and he has his "glass of wine and stronger drink," and is afterwards seen on the streets in toxicated. Will your correspondent say such a thing will not happen? Aye, will he .affirm that it has not' happened already ? ; He. had better get the facts more' accurately than he has given the facts about treating, before he does so affirm. Now, Mr. Editor, if I had consulted my personal feelings or preferences, I would not have criticised . the elub at all, not because I consider it beyond the paie pi eriMuwui, ivr au social evil is a proper subject of criticism, but because inanj of the : members of the dub are gentlemen whom I esteem highly, some t. i.: r .11 . t L of them my warm personal friends, and it is not pleasant to censure and con" demn anything; they do. Of oouroe I knew they wpuld disapprove of my criti ism' Some of them do not see the evil as I do. Some of them, as your correspondent states, wanted to exclude tbe liquor They, no doubt, feared the evil results. . I do not profess to be bet ter than many members Of the elub, l am not as good as some of them, it hay be; but Standing in my place as a journ alist, at the helm of a religious paper, an4 seeing what I conceived to be a dan gerous evil right across the street from mj eflioe, I felt it my duty to lift jthe teiee, of : warning to my readers, and I did so- a It was not only my privilege. but my duty. I did nOt shoot from be- to I nina an am on 1 :- i i T 1 ush. I did it in an open manly way; and I am responsible for la that, sad for" this. Yours truly, F. U Bm. A BIG FAILURE isms fi HAKES) A. .

The firm is agent of the Boston & Savannah: steamship company, which is not affected at all. The Eastern steamship line, running to points in the provinces, is owned in great part by the firm, and is therefore affected by the failure.

Six edges of Knights of Labor held meet ings to discuss the situation last night. but took no definite action. The fore-: men in the works, it is said.;' went through the shops yesterday and asked every man if he was of the Knights of Labor. His answer waa recorded onno- site his name.

A messenger; waa went to the city hall and the tare alarm was rung a few minutes after 6 o'clock. The Rescue, Chemical And Victor en gines went to the scene, and all aided the R. & G. fire department. The fire burned fiercely, but was by excellent work confined to the building, though the oil bouse was only a few feet away. In the storehouse were hundreds of articles, everything in fact in use by the com pany, from rolls of velvet to cdn duetors's lanterns. The fire was finally extinguished Only the floors were burned out and the roof charred, f The walls were not injured. The loss, is a little difficult to estimate.: Water and smoke did much of the damage. Many articles appear damaged, ; which when cleaned will be as good si even i The loss will probably .be something' like $1,000. Employeeaf were at once set at work picking metal articles out' of the debris. Some articles were saved in an uninjured condition.. The fences nea by were aaornea witn nunareas or yaras of velvet and plush, hung out to dry The arrangements for extinguishing fire at tne depot are good. : w ater mains are laid all through the yards.

Mr. Stephens was physically a shattered man, when he resumed his seat in Congress but the activity of his mind was, unabated. With , All . their disposition to look noon him aa an lUus trrious Utesman7" t imuarbe" frankly confessed that he made little impression npon the new generation of public men. Instead of the admiration which his speeches were once said to have elicited in the House, the wonder now grew that he ever could have been considered an oracle or a leader. . ' He had been domi nated in the crises of his .. career by the superior will and 1 greater Ability of Robert Toombs, and he now appeared merely as a relic of the past in a repre sentative assembly in which his voice was said to have been once potential." SAMCXL 3. TILPK. if - 5 "Mrl Tilden has been the. subject of vehement and contradictory judgments. Hi friends have well nigh canonised him as representing the highest type, of public virtue; his foes have painted, him as an adept in craft end intrigue. His partisans nave held him up as jlhe evan gel of a new and purer dispensation; his opponents declare that his ability is marred; by selfishness and characterised. by cunning. His followers have exalted bim as the ablest and most high-minded statesman of the times; his critics hate described him as a most artful, astute and unscrupulous politician. The truth doubtless lies between the two extremes. Adroit j ingenious and wary, skillful to ? plan anid strong to execute,' cautious in judgment- and vigorous in action, taci turn and mysterious1 as a rule and 'yet singularly open and frank on occasions, resting on the old traditions, yet leading in new pathways, surprising mthe force of his blows, and yet leaving a sense of, reserved power, Mr. Tilden unquestion- . ably ranks among the greatest masters of political' management that;. our day has seen.
