The resolution offered by Mr. Call on the 27 th September instructing; the committee on epidemic disease to consider, and report before thej ad journment of this session of jtJon gress, additional legislation to pre vent the importation thereof on the coasts and boundaries of the United States, was taken up and Mr. Call pro ceeded to speak upon it. ' Mr. Pasoo, of Florida, offered an amendment direotine the oommfttee to inquire farther into the introduc tion of yellow fever into Florida and other States during the present year. In the course of his remarks Mr. Call read a letter from Dr. Reed'suggeet ing spirits of ammonia as a method of cure I and prevention and .reopm mending that some action be takei to tfst that method. ; i After' discussion by Messrs. Call Blair, Pascoe, Chandler, Berry find Morgan, the resolution and amend ment were referred to the committee on epidemic diseases. The conference report on the defi ciency bill was presented by Mr. Hale and explained by him. After discussion the conference report was agreed:' to and the Senate insisted on its disa greements to the items still in, copro- versy. ; The conference report on the joint resolution in aid of the sufferers from yellow fever was presented and agreed to after some explanatory remark3y Mr. Edwards. The House conferees insisted,! he said, that the House would not agree to the use of the phrase adopted in the joint resolu tion in direct aid ol the sufferers on the frround that it was beyond the Constitutional authority of Congras to do a thing of that kind as partic ularly illuminated and sot forth in the message from the President vetoing th bill for the distribution of seeds in certain counties in Texas, and soin order to accommodate the solicitude of the House on that subject, he conference committee had agreed.-to paraphrase it which meant precisely the same thing. The Senate conferees thought that they had accomplished the end without wounding the Con stitutional j sensibilities pf ant body Mr. Jonee, of Nevada, offered a rs olotion (whioh. was referred to the committee j on foreign relations) re questing the President to negotiate 1 treaties with the government of Her BntanmcMajeaty and with the Bepiib lie of Hexioo respecdvelv for the k- elusion of Chinese laborers from the North-Ameneiwi continent, and for the prevention of their entrance into the United Slates from the territory of either of such governments or frojn the dependencies thereoL A resolution was reported and adopted kuthbrizing Mr.t Hale's com mittee on eivQ f ervice reform to cob- tipue its session during the recess.

We have a fine back country capable of sup porting a large trade here. We need more ale, energy, push, enterprise and home-pride in our own citizens. We need more people here, we need a large cotton mill, with 150 bands to work in it. We need ten more to bacco factories. ; We ned more me chanics and morel work for them to do.

As to State issues the legitimate province of debate as between candidates for uovernor Judge Fowle got; his opponent down at the start and kept him down a: 1 the time, while the Democratic post tion on the tariff question was ably sustained throughout We respect fully suggest that CoL Dockery meet VnarU at RnAarinrRam on the 1 4th f Ontohar. i Wh nnit V We never heardbefore that Holden had Oliver beaten for Congress in 1872.

For three fourths of the 3 ear the markets on the Board of Trade here are dominated, controlled and dic tated by one man B. P. Hutohinson, or "Old Hutch, as he is more famil iarly called. He is shrewd, kfian and calculating; imperturbable and self- reliant, and although he has reached tnat age , wnen tne majority of men are ready to lay down life's burdens he refuses to y eld and prefers to stay in the harness. A few weeks ago, while coming down the steps leading from the rooms of the Century Club, in a building opposite the Board of Trade, the old man fell down tbe whole flight, aligbting on a stone floor, where he remained some houra until discovered by the janitor. His back was injured and it was thought pos sible ne wouia never make his ap pearance on the board again, in three or four weeks, however, the patient was out and attending to bus iness. . Tm glad to see you out," Mr. Hutchinson," said an operator cheer ily, as the master of the board put in an appearance. Well, you won't be so glad in ah hour or so as you are now, growled tbe old man aa be took his accustomed seat. In a few moments tbe market felt the influence of "Hutch's" pres ence, and the men who, in his ab sence, bad been thrashing around as whalea found, themselves reduced to their normal size as minnows. ' The market bowed obedient to hie will, and quotations followed the pace he had set. ! In trading the old man is singu larly I independent. Other 'operators wtil chase each other around the ehambi vith cablegrams Trom Eu rope imd telegrams from alt parte of thi continent regarding the state of the crops, Jauk Hutohinson lie ver' gets any advices from anywhere; Every now and then he will stroll over to the b ackboard and take a look etjfae tables there,: showing receipts and shipments, etc, bet further than that he has never been, known to interest himself in statistics relating . to tbe condition of the crops or anything of tnat sort.: r ; 1 . ; . His favorite way of trading ia to pass his card around the pit, with the remai k, "Here,; boys, put down what you want to buy or self: Til aocom modate you." Bulges and slumps are alike to him; he is a bull and a bear; he usually makes money on what breaks traders, who. have, to all ap pearances! been trading right along with him. j His profits this year have been enormous, notwithstanding tbe fact that he is credited with a lose of over $300,000 on the decline of corn, which he bought at fifty-one cents and let go in the neighborhood of forty cents. 5 i unee and awnue ne is eaugnt m this way, but sb shrewd is the old man and no "cute" it is hard to corner him. He will make trades and real ize on a fluctuation of a sixteenth of a cent. Some' days his operations are so vast and multitudinous that his settling dorks are well nigh driven crazy in straightening them out, and yet there I is not a trade the aged speculator baa; not in bead. His memory is marvellous; he never for gets anything and yet never makes more than a mental note of a trade Some days when the humor seizes him he will hold the market within narrow limits and enjoy the- discom fiture of the chronic bulla and bears who vainly endeavor to get prices out 01 mo rni.uo svon nays asima tus 01a man lis eommendably induatrious'and buys and eells with vigor, checking either an , upward or a downward movement which may seem bo gratify onus andJ . bears, and retires at the end of the session, well satis fled with bis profits of a few' hundred dollar, i rWbnt other men may say or think ia nothing to him; be is a law unto himself as well as nntd : the Board of Trade.

BfanKa ow a, r. h.bibu - T tnwskMM, Oa PreoeaMwss the PwMt mt Chimt Jm dm rreejeneji, naaa t tae aeipreaae Mat r Ptjusa Toon Hoffoas : The surviving children and grandchildren of Chief Justice Frederick Nash have honored toe with a pleasant commis sion. In "their same I desire to pre sent the portrait of their distin guished ancestor to the Supreme Court of North Carolina, the body with which his name and mem ory . are inseparably connected. In the absence of any ap propriation from i the State, we are obliged to look to the liberality of rdatives and friends to supply these speaking- memorials of the men whose lives have adorned our history and whose labors have enriched our judicial annals. I trust that we may indulge the hope that eventually the vacant spaces will all be filled, and upon the legal contests of the years to come in this commodious hall, will look down the faces of Henderson and Gaston, of Toomer, Hall and Daniel, of Pearson, Battle and Manly, of Boyden and of the others who yet survive. Of all the eminent lawyers whose lives and works make up a large part of North Carolina's history as a State, surely no one deserves a more loyal tribute of our admiration and affec tion than the stainless jurist whose portrait we unveil today. Born amid tne throes of the revolution, wnue tne infant Commonwealth had just been olothed in the newly-spun garment of Constitutional State-hood, redenck Nash came of distinguished ancestry. iiis father, Abner , Nash, was tbe Speaker of the first House of Com mons that assembled under the Hali fax Constitution of 1776. Three years later, in 1779, he was elected Speaker of the Senate, and in the same year succeeded Richard Caswell, as the second Governor of the independent State of North Carolina. ' The brother of Abner Nash was the intrepid General Frands Hash, de cidedly the most 1 renowned soldier that the State contributed to the Con tinental army, whose life's blood was poured out upon the disastrous field of German town. Frederick Nash gave early promise of distinction. Upon attaining man hood he entered upon the praetioe of the law and in 1804, as his father had done twenty-eeven years before, rep resented the cultured borough of New Berne in the House of Oonunonev Complainta are sometimes heard that certain counties hart been, too highly favored in the preferment of their Sons; but l imagine tnat re w pa triotic and j intelligent North Uaro liniana wduld earn to read the earlier history of the Stata if. "the record of the Uvea and deeds of the sons" of Craven, Halifax, Warren and Orange were stricken from ita pages. r ' ; Alter considerable snoots at tne bar, the young lawyer 1 war again elected to the House oi Commons tn 1814, and -chosen iaa Speaker: He possessed rare qnalifioatione for this position. Of gracious courtesy Jet unflinching firmness; ot strict impar-1 tiality and unvarying serenity of tem per, he was almost an ideal presiding officer.. -1 r In 1818 he was elected one of the Judges of the Superior Court " and rode the various circuits until 1526, when he resigned to re-enter upon the practice of hie profession:' In 1836 he was again ; elected to the Superior Court Bench, and continued to perform its labori ous duties for eight years. In 1844, upon the death of his life-long friend, the lamented Gaston, he was pro-, moted to the Supreme Court Bench, and in 1852, upon the resignation of Chief Justice Ruffin, he was chosen to succeed him, and presided over the Court until bis death in 1855. Such is the bare skeleton of the ser vices of a man who was indeed a model judge. Not possessed of the oratorical genius of Gaston, nor en dowed with the massive force of Buf - Jin, yet to fill all the manifold re quirements demanded of a judge of an appellate ueurt, Chief Justice Nash was as well fitted aa either. Clear in his conception of tbe law, well versed in its presidents, of sin gular felicity .of language and ehaste ness of ..expression, with a simplicity and terseness that would have hon - ored Westminster Hall, he has left opinions which may well bear com - ariflon with those of his great eo aborer. As a man and a life long christian he waa pre-eminently attractive. " He meekly bore without abuse The grand old name of gentleman."
