The chase on SoMth Elm last night by polkeman Weathtrly resulted in the capture of two prominent citizens of James town. They hid been to see the "Tou rists' and were endeavoring to overtake the Charlotte b-aund train which was just i then pulling out at the depot.

Two ne groes were run over, and they made Rome howL Five minutes alterwards not a negro was to be seen on the streets. Our Jamestown: friends were innocent of all the mischief they were doing.

Scales, introduced a resoln- tiou directing the Committee on ways and means to inquire into the expediency of so amending-the internal revenue laws as not only to abolish the tax on tobacco, but also on nil brandies made of ap- pl s, peaches and grapes, and to reduce the tax on whiskey to 50 cents per gallon and to further in quire into the propriety of abolish ing the present complicated, ex pensive and odious system of col lecting tax. In the last Presidential cam paign Gen. Curtis, of ew xork, was conspicuously active in exact ing front his fellow-ofllcials contri butions to further the election of Garfield. He was indicted uuder the sixth section of the act of Au gust 15, 1S7C, which prohibits cer tain officers of the government from a i "requesting, giving or receiving from nny other officer or employe of the" government any money or property, or other thing 01 rame for political purposes."

Ex-Senator Gordon, of Georgia has just returned from Europe He says the United States is "the greatest country in the world." In a rrateiial way he thinks it is go ing to develop into tho richest sec tion on- the globe; and in a social way he finds more individuality of character and more marked orig inality here in one day than can be found iu Europe in a month. He says it "is enough, to make an American proud . to ride through the streets of London, with its civ uizaiion or two tnousami years, and see American implements, Atner.'can sewing machines, Amer ican tools and American goods dis played on every hand, and know that American watches are being sold in. tho b to re 3 and American fields are feeding the English peo ple, and American factories begin ning to, clothe them.n Gen.

South He says it is generally believed in Europe among the best thinkers on social anil fi nancial topics that the South will become the richest part of the J country, and many large capital ists are inquiring after Southern investment. He also talked with -i ..... a great many capitalists who are interested in cotton spinning, and they, were emphatic in the state ment that they expected to see the time when the South would man ufacture the bulk of tho cotton grown in th3 South. They say that that is the natural tendency of things, and that they cannot hope to put off the day very long when the South will bo able to drive English cotton goods out of the world's market.
