due time he will make an announcement
of his views on, public questions," fxpm
which we gather that the views he Ha
been expressing in his editorial eorumns
these many years are not his views, but
some one else's. The query arises, are
they the views of the editorial brethren
of the second district, who have leisure
not only for running their own papers
but for editing the papers of other people?
Have they been editing Charles R's
paper for him of late ? The jtyle of
the editorials, &o. , give some counte
nance to the suggestion, for they have
been very weak. ;
Ii it will not hurt the feelings of some
of the editorial brethren in the second
congressional district for us to. have an
opinion about the matter, we will say
that we areHnclined to believe that in
the congressional convention for ,the
fourth district, the several counties, Will
be entitled to the following votes J
pectively : Wake 95; Johnston; t
Chatham 50; Franklin 43: Nastt 7;
; Orange 33; Alamance 33; and Durham
32. If this is very exasperating to the
gentlemen referred to, to be sure they
will please to consider that we have not
said it, and tho next time we will offer
them a dollar a month to express Opin
ions for us. But we fear that would be
too much compensation ! .
Thi Raleigh correspondent of the

: Wi commend to our readers the sug
gestive communication elsewhere printed
of in this issue on railroads and progress
in the State. It is from the pen of one of
our most thoughtful and most distinguish
ed citizens, and treats a subjectwhich we
have always held to be of great impor
tance and have therefore often touched
upon ourselves. We are anxious for
the day to come when every point in the
State shall have within sound the
whistle of a locomotive. Then will be
enjoyed the general wealth, prosperity
and happiness to which we as a people
look forward.
We have no doubt that our corre
spondent's position that the railway fa
cilities of the State could be trebled at
one-half the cost of existing lines can
be maintained with ease. The cost of
iron rails before the war was $50 to $60,
whereas steel rails can now be had at $30
or thereabouts and are three times as ser
viceable as those of iron. Everything
else, moreover, that enters into railway
building, except labor, perhaps, is
cheaper now than ever before, so that
the point our friend makes is eminently
sound. Let our people adopt the sug
gestion he makes and go to work with
out delay to build branches of the exist
ing trunk lines where they may bo de
sirable. hasten the construction of
those already under way and extend
those now completed.' So will the
State the sooner throughout its length
and breadth be made to blosBom like the
rose.

The third judicial district has done
admirably in renominating Judge H. G
Connor for the bench and D. Worthing
ton, Esq., for the solicitorship. Judge
Connor, is a young man peculiarly well
fitted by talent and training for the
duties of a judge, and this fact has been
"brought out clearly during the compar
atively brief time he has already served
as such officer. He will undoubtedly
add lustre to the bench of the State, as
ho has distinguished himself while still
scarcely more than thirty at the bar and
m the general assembly. We hazard
nothing in predicting tor him a career
of brilliancy and of the greatest useful
ness to the State.
Mr. Worthington has served also with
distinction in the legislature and is
a thorougly well equipped lawyer. He
has for years been a. leader at the bar
of the east, though comparatively
young man as well as Judge Connor.
As a solicitor he has been vigilant,
faithful and able, and he will without
doubt continue to serve his district and
the State with the utmost acceptability
Thi white and black death rates and
their relation to each other are again
being commented on extensively. The
death rate of the negroes in the cities
of the country indeed forces comment.
It is enormous. In Washington it is
33.38 per thousand, nearly twice the
mean rate, whilo in Savannah it is n5w
122, and in the ease of infants no less
than 601. This last is almost incredi
ble. but it is in accordance with the of
ficial reports. It seems to indicate that
the negro is unequal to the strain of
city life. In the country he manages
to keep down the rate to a point some
what near that of the white man, but in
town he seems wholly unable to resist
the pressure of his environment. What
the result upon him of the burdens and
exactions of freedom is to be cannot yet be
told with accuracy, but it seems dear that
he is destined to ; disappear before the
Caucasian as the Indian has disappeared
before him.

The great need of our State is more
railroads. With adequate railroad fa
cilities the development of North Caro
lina would be as rapid as that of some
of the Western States. A consider
ation of our railroad system: will
show that by building branch roads
and extensions, costing not more than
half of the present roads, our railroad
facilities can be trebled. It is worth
while to examine the ground in detail.
Beginning at the northeast, the railroad
now running from Suffolk to Sunbury
could cheaply be extended to Gatcs-
ville and Ldcnton, as grading in the
eastern part of this State is a mere
nothing. This, together with the exist
ing railroad from hdenton to Norfolk,
would supply the counties north of the
Albemarle fairly well. Coming further
- r J 1 1 i i . : a1
on we una uo penmsuia Deiweea mo
Chowan and Roanoke- occupied by the
three fine counties of llertlord, .North
ampton and Bertie wofully in want of
railroads. The Seaboard & Roanoke
might easily run a branoh road from
Boykn to Murfreesboro, or the We
herrin Valley railroad, nqw running
from Hicksford to Margarettaville could
be extended on to Murfreesboro, as it
would have no river to cross. i A branch
road to Jackson from Garysburg has
long been needed and if thence extended
mhrough the level country to Windsor
or further to tho fisheries at Avoca, if
would pay both tho railroad and the
public With this road and the Mur
freesboro branch, the, peninsula would
be well on. We now come to the
Wilmington & Weldon system.: This
railroad already has a paying branch
running from Halifax to Scotland! Neck
This might well be extended at one end
from Scotland JNeck to ralmyra, on
Roanoke river, and' at the other from
Halifax to Brinkleyville, making
Brinkley ville-Pakiyra branch, : which
wou,ld be an excellent feeder, b urther
on this road has already extended its
Tarboro branch atone end to Williams
ton and is extending it at the other end
to Wakefield via Nashville. A little
further extension at each end would
carry it on one hand to Plymouth and
on the other to Raleigh, making a Ral
eigh-Plymouth branch and connecting
the capital with the eastern counties. A
little further on the Wilson & Green
ville branch would develop the fine
county of Pitt one of the finest
in the State. The branch from
Warsaw to Clinton is already graded.
This should be extended at its eastern
end to Kenansville and even to Jack
sonville, Onslow county, as no river or
swamp on this route would have to be
crossed. At its eastern end it should be
extended from Clinton to Fayetteville,
crossing on the new railroad bridge
at the latter place. This would give
cheaply built, fine paying railroad from
Fayetteville to Jacksonville. The rail
road is nearlv completed from Wilson to
Fayetteville, whence it will doubtless
use the Cape Dear & iadkin Valley
track to Shoe Heel and build thence to
Florence. At the other end this
railroad might well be carried
from Wilson via Tarboro, ; Pal
myra and Winston to Suffolk. Va.. or
possibly to a point beyond Suffolk, op
posite .Newport News, the Chesapeake
& Ohio terminus. Ihis would give
with the Eastern Shore R. R., the very
shortest obtainable route between
Florida and New York. The Atlantic
& N. C. R. R. would benefit itself and
the State by building two short branches
one to Trenton from Core creek (eight
miles) and the other from Kinston to
Snow Hill. We now come to the R
G. system. First, a 10-mile branch
from .Littleton to Urmxlevville via
Panacea springs, is needed. The War
renton branch should be extended to
Ransom's bridge and thenee to Rooky
Mount. The Oxford & Jdenderson Ji
R. should be extended to Roxboro. The
Louisburg branch, might be extended at
one end to .Nashville and at the other
to Durham, making a fine feeder, the
Durham-Nashville branch. The Pitts
boro branoh could be, extended round
the south end of Hickory mountain to
Siler, thus unifying the county of Chat
ham. The Carthage and 'Winder branch
is.under way. Another branch from
Hoffman to Trov ought to be built. The
branch from Hamlet to Gibsonville, al
ready built, is paying finely. The road
from Hamlet to Columbia, S. C, is
being built, and that from Ridgeway to
Petersburg. Va.. is partly built. When
tey are finished Raleigh will be on
great through route, and not on a side
line as at present. Bonds have already
been voted to build the Oxford
and Clarksville railroad, connecting at
the latter place with the Virginia rail
road system. The railroad from Lynch
burg to Durham via lioxboro is acr
tainty. When it is extended from
Durham via Lillington to Fayetteville
the central part of the State will feel
new life.
The North Carolina railroad has built
only one branch, that to Chapel Hill
which it ought' to extend to Pittsboro
It could also build a branch from Hills
boro to Danville, making thus virtually
a Danville-Pittsboro branch. The rail
road to Winston ought to be extended
to Wilkesboro, for the fine northwestern
section of the State is destitute of rail
road facilities.
The Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley is
in reach of completing its railroad to
Mt. Airy. It further contemplates ex
tending at one end from Fayetteville to
Wilmington, and at the other from Mt,
Airy to Wytheville, Va. WhenLthisis
done it will be one of the best paying
roaas in ine oouniry. it nas aiso un
dertaken a short branch railroad to the
Randleman factories in Randolph county
The Carolina Central speaks of a branch
from Mt. Holly to Denver, in Lincoln
county. It is steadily at work extend'
iug its line from Shelby to Rutherford
ton, whence of course it must go through
Hickory Nut gap to Asheville, thus con
necting Wilmington with our mountain
u ctropolis and the great Northwest.
The railroad from Danville via Win
ston and Mocksville to Mooresville
at Cranberry via Marion to Shelby.
Beyond .the mountains the railroad is
being graded to Murphy, where it will
connect with a railroad already built to
Atlanta, Ga. When the partly graded
road from Walhalla, S. C, via Frank
lin, Macon county, to Mary ville, Tenn.,
is finished the short route from Charles
ton, S. C, to Cincinnati and Chicago
will be done.
Wo hayo thus gone over the whole
State. Those who will take the map
and follow us will Bee that, as we have
said, .with an expenditure of; half the
cost oi existing lines our rauruau iaun-
ties can be trebled and the State won
derfully developed.
liy proper enterprise and a co-opera
tion between the people of the localities
interested and railroad authorities these
branches and extensions can easily bo
built. Now when money is so cheap at
the North is the best time to place the
bonds to build them. A- a.

Obituary.
Departed this life rather suddenly, c
acute dysentery, on the mornirg of the
21st inst., Mr. Frank Blount, the
youngest son of the late Dr E. J
Blount, of Pitt county, in the 19th year
of his age. He was a student of Wake
Forest college, and had been home tu
a few weeks spending his vacation wheu
the dark angel came, and with but little
premonition of his dire approach, yet
ho found him with his "lamp trimmed
and burning," ready to obey the dread
summons.
Frank was a faithful member of the
Disciples church at Rountree's, and his
daily walk and conversation were con
formable to his outward profession. Th
writer of iLU feeble tribute to his worth
and memory has seen and known him
from childhood, and it is but justice to
his character to say that in all the rela
tions of life he discharged his duties
faithfully, illustrating the beauty and
strength of his Christian character, a
ltaves behind four brothers and hosts
of friends to mourn his early death.
