In the Raleigh correspondence of the Gh&rlotte Observer, we find this interesting item: "One of the most important suits that has been before the Supreme Court is that of the Raleigh & Au ,p jbca Air Line against Sturgeon, wmch affected only a small piece of land, but involved a great princi ple, affecting indirectly thousands of acres of la&d in this State, worth r..ltaps milliohs of dollars. Thb railroad company brought an action -ef ejectment against Sturgeon to remove him from its right of way, claiming it owned one hundred feet on each side of the centre of its track. The company had not bought the land and had paid aething for it, but claimed under the spacial provisions of its charte that there was, after a lapse of two years, conclusive presumption cf grant for full 200 feet, and its act ual possession of the whole of its right of way. The defendant had been in uninterrupted possession of his laud, but as no statute of limi tation or presumption ever runs against a railroad in this State, his -possession would not avail against tha company. The court dismisses he action, laying down the great principle that wherever the railroad company took land under the right of eminent domain, otherwise than actual grant it acquired only ease ment, and could take actual pos session of unused portions .cf its right of way only wheu necessary .. tho actual uses of the railroad.' The State Troaaatr finds that the L'jfeiiiature'rf ippi..-i:.rtioLb j'gre gate $350,000, which far exceeds any previous appropriations. It ia aaul that the 3pi,ci&i appropriations ainouat to $150,000. Dsafnsss b Cutii by local application, as tUcy cannot reach the dis eased portion of thttar.

The members hook their fists in ach other's faces, ci i d.u ne an otoer and stocd upon the desks vnd tables, wildly gesticulating. A free fight was imminent, and the atmosphere was almost sulphu rous. TO 8EB THB fIGHT, Governor Russell in the executive office' down stairs heard the noise and ran to tha top of the stairs Senators flocked over to the House m ascertain the trouble, and soon there was quite a crowd to witness the bedlam and eon fusion. HOW IT BEGAN. The difficulty began at noon. The resolution asking the Supreme Court to give to-morrow its opinion n the legality of tha lease to the Southern was brought up. Blackburn suiti that the Senate substitute for the original lease bill, as it was passed by the House, was before th 11 "a i special order and he moved that the House concur in the substitute. Then the confusion began, twen ty members standing in the aisles and clamoring for recognition all at the same time. Sntton, of New Hanover, moved to postpone action on the substi tute. Person moved to adjourn until three o'clock: AEBITRABILY ADJOURNED THE HOUSE. Then pandemonium broke loose. Representative Cooke, who was presiding, arbitrarily adjourned the House until three o'clock. He stepped down and left the house, while the greatest imaginable disor der was raging. A motion was made that Freeman (Republican) take the chair, as speaker pro tern. The vote shook the hall. "TREASON." "I PROTEST." Freeman was in the act of faking the chair when Lusk rushed out nd.said; "I protest; this is treason," Dr. Alexander yelled to Freeman, "Come down from there, you usur per." Several members hid under their desks, and others, fearing riot and bloodshed, rushed from the hall. Cooke was openly cursed for ad journing the House. Gudger and other cooler heads finally advised the members to leave the hall, and at 12:30 o'clock they had nearly all disappeared. BILL TO BE DEFEATED. Ha said the opponents of the lease, knowing they were defoatoa, adjourned the House. Hancock says Rutll's friends will defeat the Senate substitute by eight votes. Ho says Russell wants to carry the question before the people. Two Cars Phosphate for sale. Roller Mill DR. MURPHEY'S RETIREMENT.
