SEYMOUR'S SPEECH. Gov. Seymour's j speech before the Utica Convention .has been read, and pondered by Republicans as well as Dem ocrats throughout the country. Tbir is a refreshing 'aud significant omen of tbo time.; ! I MS': .. I II is rare for a political leader, when. addressing an audience chiefly composed the magnates and managers of his party, to raise the; Ivel of his speech so high above all partisan considerations as Gov. Seymour did on that occasion. It is encouraging to see a statesman who en joys the confidence of all shades of opin ion in bis party and the respect of bis political opponents, jai the threshold of a Presidential campaign! in which the chan ces are in favor of his associates, throw aside the low, selfish appeals to party spirit, so common in such performances, and tell the Democrats that they do not deserve success in the pending contest merely because the Republicans are extravagant and dishonest ; that j they will only , be worthy of triumph when they can prove to tlie people that they themselves are econ omical Sod faithful : and so far as Ihe is concerned that he does not desire a Demo cratic victory this fall, unless the party can stand this test. T4ie nation is not hopelessly given lover to profligates and plunderers when such a man as Horatio Seyuuii thinks it wiseao open a Presi dential canvass by sounding a key-note like this Gov. Seymour's speech, was marked by a noble moral tone and a broad and genuine patriotism. He rebuked both friends and opponents for iheir tolerence p . . , ' . . . , . t of fraud and corruption m tlie conduct of affaire, and asserted that these views were tiot coufinedrto the; Federal Administra tjon, but existed: in all our State and municipal Governments. He pointed to the general greed for money and the haste to get inch as the main cause for the de moralization of society. He hud the can dor to say that though, in his opinion, the Republicans bold certain lax consti tutional doctrine?, which lead up to the doors of the' Tieasiury, nevertheless be believed that if tbe Democrats had been in power so long they would have been about as corrupt as the Republicans have been. He was sievere on shoddy, tinsel, wild speculations aud extravagant liviug, and denounced the venality and profligacy of men in office as tbe natural outgrowth of reckless expenditures, inordinate love of money, and lack of sterling integrity" among the masses of the people. He pointed tojan arly return to the simple habits aud genuine Virtues of the fathers of the republic, both in society and gov ernment, as the best remedy for the evils hat surround' us. j There is nothing very original in these views. They have been uttered by scat tered moralists, by a portion of the pub ic press, and 4 limited number of inde pendent politicians ever since the close of ihe war, and especially during the adminis tion of Grant, j But that which challen ges particular attention in tbis instaucc is the fact tii at at an important convention bf his party, on the eve of a fierce strug gle for supremacy in the government of the (country, a philosophic statesman and jsagacicms political leader deems it not pnly proper, but tbej highest rgactt of ex pendiencr tOj Send ringing along the lines jof his foltowers a speech in which be bases the claim foT a victory by tbe Demo crats mainiyioti the contingency of their ability to satisfy the voters that they will administer the Government more honestly than the Republic n?. N. Y. Sun: H 1 THE JEWS - AND: THE HOLY LAND. Tlie NewiYork Express sas that the report that; the, Sultan offers to com pro- mise with kU Jewish creditors by turning over to theni the Holy Land in payment of his bonds; has started anew the stories about the schemes of the Jews for there turn of theul people from all quarters of the globe to Palestine. Christian tradi tion asuignfc to tlieni an irrepressible long ing to do tbi"', awd now ihe opportunity is offered t them to do it. All that is necessary is- for the Rothschilds to pay what .would be a mere bagatelle to them, as the papers which are running the story forhe dozuth time put it, and Ihe dream of Judea njay he fulfilled, all of which is very fine akd very romantic, but nobody has discovered among the Jews of London, Frankfort, Paris, Vienna and New York, in which cities jley are among the money kings, an irrepressible longing to betake themselves! to tbe desert Syrian wastes, and to surrender the place they fill in the great capitil, in any Quixotic attempt to build up a picayune governmental estab lishment there.," Thiere are few people io tbe world who have better reasons to be satisfied witli the power they wield through tloiir wealth ir every land. Everywhere thre are men of the highest culture and attaiuaents amongst them, who are at tached to tei surroundings, and who would no njore;ilbink of an exodus to Syria than the averago American would of settling in Central Africa, aud the probabilities are that if we wait for the Jews to return to thp Land of Abraham, wc will have to v ait a good while. VERDICT IN THE STRANGE HOMICIDE CASE. This highly interesting trial closed on Tuesday evening, with a verdict not gouty by the Jury, f The case occopied five days, and: we mast say that at no time nave we seen manifested such inter est in a cause. The deceased was a young man by the name of Mui ray from ; Hay wood county, of highly respectable stand ing in bis community. His'; father and mother were both in attendance daily np bn the court, and during the entire prose cution the old man fMnrray behaved with tbe most becoming propriety, both before and during the trial. 1 ' ' : he'defendant, Thomas W. Strange, is a youth of nnsurpased character, as was shown by such witnesses as Bishop Atkinson, and others who knew him from bis infancy. These facts taken in con nection wiih the melancholy circumstances that led to the death of young Murray, made the case one of exciting interest to the community. ( Two days wm occupied in the argn ment of counsel, which-lf for profound legal learning, close analysis, and eloquent logic, has rarely been surpassed in any of our counsel are given in another place. During the trial the large College Chapel, both floor and gallery, was filled with eager epectors, including a large number of ladies. The prisoner was ac- I companied in court daily by his father and his step-mother, and perhaps other female relatives. xiis Honor Judge Watts, delivered a written charge to the inn', which exhibi ted much learning and depth of thought, and was delivered to the jury in an effec tive and impressive style. He told the jury that iuwas a case of murder or uoth- ing, tuat the questiou ot manslaughter did not arise in the case ; and having stated the position of the law arising upon the facts, the Jury had but little to do but to render a verdict of not guilty. We have 1 m . not expressed an opinion ot this caac, lading toe view put by the -court, the jury did right ; but we think the facts might well have warranted a verdict ot manslaughter. We think ihe excellent and enviabl character of the defendant repels the idea that be was a murderer, but that he was only guilty of manslaugher, which the proof would well warrant. And while we say this wc have no doubt the prose cutor and his friends will be satisfied with the result, as he had no vindictive motive in pushing the prosecution. But for the honor and dignity of the Court, we regret the demonstrations of applause which came from the crowd on the rendeiing ot the verdict. While this was doubtless the result of . an honest sympathy with young Strange, still it looked too much like sending up shouts of joy over young Murray'8 grave. It showed disrespect to the father aud mothey of the deceased, and was inconsistent with the solemn pioceedings of a cotirt in a scene of such intense solemnity. That it was the result of an unthoaghtful in discretion of the vast crowd we have no doubt, but nevertheless unsuited to a court of Justice. The Judge's charge to the jury will be given to our readers next week, avc could not obtain a copy for this issue. We should add that the young prisoner and bis near friends acted with the most becoming propriety throughout the trial. Asheville Expositor. INDECISION. I believe that is the trouble with thou sands of people that have been attending these meetings, I believe that if every man and woman that has been here had been true to their own convictions, there would have been thousands more saved. Many a man and woman has grtne put of this hall convinced that they were sinners, and that they ought to receive Christ, but yet they have rejected him, just as Pilate did Pilate was a vaccillating character, wayward and undecided. One solemn truth comes to me to-day, and that is, that all these- men that would not decide for Christ and decided against him, how punishment came upon tbera ! Lost, lost, lost, for time and for eternity for want of decision ! I believe in my soul that there are more at this day being lost in New j.orK ior want oi decision man tor any other thing. O, my friends, what is your decision to-day ? What are you going to do with Christ ? That is the question to-day. I do not care mucli about the sermon; if I could only get this text down into your hearts, get it down deep into your soul, I should feel I had accomplished ray work here. It is not preaching you want . i . . i i nuw; it. is io come io a necisiou, to decide what you will do with God's own Son t He gave him up freely for as ail. Will you not receive him t It is to have him for our Saviour now, or at some future day to have him for our Judge. Pilate, like every other sinner, wanted to get rid of the responsibility. He did not like to be pressed to a decisio l. He shifted the responsibility to Herod. But even Herod refused to take his life, and sent him back; so Pilate tries again. He thinks he has got a plan that will! work. He puts it out of his own power foolish man ! He ought to have decided it him self, and not; left the multitude to decide. He said I will put the question to them nowand gt them to decide." Poor deluded man I He thought they would choose Jesus instead of Barabbas. He did not know '"the depravity of man's heart, and bow they were in league with bell against Christ. lie took the murder er and highwayman aud asked them which one be should release, and the multitude lifted up thetr voices and said, "Release rinto us ; Barabbas." After! they bad made that decision tbe poor disappointed governor said to them," What shall I do with Jesus that is called j Christ. 1 And they answered, "Let him be crucified."- Moody. JUSTICE ' TO BOTH. Tbe Radical papers have a great deal to say against Col. Pool. The News has no intention of defending Col. Pool, if be cannot show a clear record throughout. That is sufficiently manifested in the po- siiion it uas atreaay laaen, and trom which it will upt be moved unless that record is made satisfactory. But why is it that these papers who have so much to say against Col. Pool about the Peabody fund, have so little to say about Hower- ton and his swiudle of the State. Listen at these facts. Just before Howerton came to Raleigh be went into bankruptcy. It is said that he bad actu ally td borrow money to come here on. Living lu Raleigh is expensive. Dr. Howerton came here with little or noth ing:. Ilo has lived here three vears. He has supported and -educated a large family expensively ; has bought a car riage and horses, drives out in style, lives iti8tyle,;and has a housekeeper brought from Virginia. He has also purchased and furnished a handsome house in this city at a supposed cosvof $7,000, and notwithstanding all this at the end of three years he tells a gentleman in New York be has saved $7,000, aud will soon have $15,000 and offers to put it in to start a business house in Raleigh. Sup- pose Col. Pool had done all these things ? Aside from much that is rumor, let us come to facts. In 1874 be got a bill passed to allow him to boy all the sta tionery for the State on the ground that he wanted to save money for the Stale. In 1674 he did buy, and the bills in the office show that tho prices charged were about 20 per cent, higher than the same articles could have been bought for in Raleigh. Emboldened by success, he again buys in Nov. 187. He buys from the same firm (Brown & Warner), and notwithstanding the heavy declue in prices, be buys from them at about 40 per cent, higher than in 1S74. Tbe bill was only stopped by ihe honesty and firmness of John Reilly, the Auditor. Suppose Col. Pool had done all this 1 In Nov. 1875, Howerton bought cars peting for the State at 82,25 per yard when merchants here, in Raleigh, say that the same carpeting could have been honestly bought at $1,15 per yard. Nay, more, when the bill was examined, it turned out that the house from which it purported to have been bought was a fictitious house and had never had an ex istence. Howerton filled a power of at torney from tho fictitious bouse to draw the ratiney. Suppose Col. Pool had been caught at this t There aro yet other delinquences of Howerton which we will not at present give to the public. These things do nit make Col, Pool innocent. But how do the Republican press reconcile it to themselves to say so iniicii agairift l .101 and so little against Howerton. Uoes tlie tact ot being a Republican make ihe difference, and ex culpate one nnd blast the other? Ral. News. CORRESPONDENCE. Executive Department, State of Nontn Carolina. Raleigh, April 17, 1876. Pev. li. Scars, Gen. Agent Peabody Fund: Dear Sir : I write to you to ascer tain whether or not Stephen D. Pool, Superintendent of Public Instruction of North Carolina, has properly accounted to you for the money belonging. to the Peabody school fund, which was intrust ed to lm care to aid in educating the poor children of North Carolina. Irom information ui relation to this matter, 1 liave reason to believe that -. ... Stephen D. Pool is a defaulter, and that he has taken a portion of the Peabody school fund for his own private use and benefit, in violation of the public trust which he held.

Pool has occupied an importaut position, by virtue of which I presume he was selected as the custodian ot the l eadodv school fund for this State.

What the Scientists Knoio About the Lesser Luminary. Prof. Soale recently,, lectured on ibis; sebject before the San Francisco school! of Mechanical Arts. He said tbat, in using tbe immense telescopes of modern' times, one is surprised at the exceedingly! small area tbat can be examined at cne time, and by the great diminution, j A careful survey of the surface fills one with astonishment that the placid, silvery moon ehonld be changed into a ragged gray, wrinkled and pockmarked heaven ly body, ( On turning to the brighter portionsj we find everywhere mountains, volcanoes; crevasses and precipices of vast height or depth. It seems to be a picture of deso4 lation, enthroned npon a pedestal of ashes. Those mountainous parts reflect: a brilliant light on account of their voW canic nature, the rocks being often smooth and polished, and their jagged surfaces; giving them powor to catch and throw light in every direction. The southwes tern portion is especially volcanic in its appearance. Ou close examination, howl ever, we find long ranges of mountains exhibiting no signs of volcanic action; but in many respects similar to the Sier rats, much sleeper on one side than the other, and, apparently formed by similar forces, though as a rule the Volcanic ele ment prevails. Many ef these mountains are ot immanse size ; thus Clavins is 120 miles in diameter, and has an area ol 12.000 square miles, and turrets on its walls shooting to an altitude of 16,00(1 feet. W e next notice the frequent occur tence of ringed mountains, not more than ten or fifteen miles in diameter, and al most perfectly circular in form. They are found alone upon the level country, or in groups. and even upon the ridges of the pits, which differ chiefly from others in their smaller dimensions. There is cases hundreds of miles, which at the fall of tbo moon elisten with a remarkable brightness. Jl'hey shine as brilliaetly under the oblique as under the vertical rays of tbe sun a fact yet unexplained ; they pass over the tops and through tbe the craters of volcanoes, and through tbe valleys in an uninterrupted course. Of the many theories concerning them, per haps the most reasonable is tbat they are veius of matter ejected from below during some great volcanic or earthquake dis turbances, and ia many respects they resemble -our own trap dykes and veiii3. Since the tune of Galileo, astronomers have painfully, patiently and persever ingly mapped every detail of the moon a surface, until we have lunar topographic al charts more accurately constructed than any hitherto constructed of the earth's surface. Photography has recent ly aided largely in this work. 1 By careful experiments it has been proven that the light of the full moon is only 16,000,000 part of that of the sutn, aud that she gives only one-sixth as much light as would a pure white disk ; therefore she is nearer black than white. An equal sized globe of fire-brick or clay thrown into the orbit of the moon would furnish us with light as bright as our own luminary. As early as 1700, efforts were made to ascertain if any heat came from the moon, her rays being concentrated by means off a lens upon the bulb of a thermometer, with no effect, however; and other and later tiials with improved apparatus cave I the same result, or in some cases indiCa - ted that the moon was sheddinz negative I .. . V - - heat or cold. It was only after the lo I vention of the thermopile that evidences of lunar beat were discovered. The amount was excessively small, however. Lord Rosse, with the aid of his three-foot reflecting telescope and Thompson's gal- vonometer, shows that little, if any, of this heat comes from the interior ot the moon, or, ia other words, that the body I of the luminary would be cold but for the heat absorbed from the sun. lhisbor rowed heat has been shown to raise the exterior temperature of our satellite to at least fifty degrees I ah. As the sun s heat and light cease to fall upon her sur face and are lost for fifteen days at a time, and the remaining heat being ra diated into space, the alterations ot tem peratme must be something startling, and the chaues in the physical features ot the body produced by the enormous ex- pausions and: contraciions oi uer ouiei substance must be great and very oe- strutive.- The Cardinal Vicar at Rome has is sued the Edict and Apostolical Pardon for Lent in 1S76. Except during nine days, in respect of which special personal licenses will be requisite, "in the coniing Lent it will be oe allowable for all the inhabitants of this fair city and the sur rounding district to eat meat of any kind, and, moreover, to take lard and grease for seasoning." Hotel keener, are I ex horted, if they have to get ready meat or food prepared with fat or lard, ' to do so in rooms shut oft from the public view, in order that by avoiding scandal it may be the better known tha: we are still in the canital of the Catholic world."

He thinks it a mistake for ships to have to force their bulk through the water, meeting thereby the large opposing sur face of water, and a sliding tnction over the whole of their immersed surface ; this he holds t be, in tact, as much ot an error as it would be to dismount rail- I way cars from their wheels and drag them, like sledges along the rails He I . . . i iiia boldly argues i that vessels should ne mounted on rplling drums, that these drums should give principally the power of flotation, and that they should be driven round as paddles to move the ship forward. In bis way there would be a floating locomotive mounted on its sup porting wheel, or rollers ; the vessel would offer no resistance but a rolling one to motion;! tbe whole of tbe support ed weight of the ship would be used as useful pressureho give adhesive frictional effect to the rollers, and a nign velocity attained, APPLiqATION OF LIME. j Soils rich iii erganic matter, even though thev already coataiu it in considerable quan tities, drained pf at swamps, stiff clays, and. coarse heavy sUls, and especially those des titute of U, are an oenentea by an appuca tion of lime.

Tbe statistic, of failures, throughout tlie United State, for -the three month. ending with March, show an increase in mercantile casualties which, though ex pec ted, is larger than was anticipated. The number of failure, are set down at 2,806, with liabilities at JS64,000,000. Compared with the same quarter in 1875, in which the number was 1,733 with lia bilities of $38,000,000, the increase is very;; marked -amounting to 1,073 in number, and $26,000,000 in liabilities. But j as compared with statistic, for the previous quarter, or the last three month, in 1 $75, tbe showing is not so bad,1 Exodus From Tennessee.

There is a much greater money i valae in tike beet crop, when it is rightly man aged, than most farmers are aware. This is true of all root crops, but the i .ugjUr bgetiwill yield a better return on tlie in" .vestment than any of the- o theft, and! potatoes probably lbe next. "Mr. Henry Lane, of Cornwall.
