Mr. Garfield said that that was not the time nor the place for him to say what heavould do in premises. But he gavo' good advice, otwithstaudiug: He warned them against drawing the color line between themsel ves aud the whites, and told them tlreir surest escape from some of the evils of which they complained was education. The President elected indicated very clearly, we think, that while disposed to help the negro to rise, he has uo idea that it is any part of his duty to hinder the whites in the race of development aud progress. The black man must work out his own elevation by industry aud all the lawful means employed by other races. So far so good. Mosopoliks.

Political circles are much more inter ested, at present, in discussing and fore casting the future than in consideration of the heavy appropriation and financial questions that have mainly occupied the attention of Congress during the past week, The per&onel of the coining Sen ate is now pretty well known, but beyond the fact that"Seuator Ulaiao will be Sec retary of State, the composition of the . coming Cabinet is known only to Mr. Garfield aud a few very intimate friends. There has been much occult cauvassing among Republican members of the lower house in the interest of favorite candidates for the speakership.

Hill A-i Elsewhere wo print the proceedings of the organization of the Midland Rail road Compaay, which recently took place at Newbern. Periodically We haveJ heard of it, and now it assumes a slrape that invests it with interest. Mr. Best is the president. Ho has deposited $25,000 in Newleni, and we hear tho same amount in this place, and this indicates that he does not come empty-handed. But what the deposit is made for we are not informed. The road proposed to be built, we understand, willTun frpm Ral eigh to Charlotte. Whether it will ever be built or not is quite another question. But it threatens the North j Carolina Railroad on the east, while on the other tlie Midland Company, with its1 contem plated road from Danville to Charlotte, takes itou the other flank. With regard to tho latter, we have some expectation that it will be constructed, if not immo diately, yet at some day not fa distant. There is u reason for its existence. It is to form a link iu a line already built, aud to furnish an outlet and fetdef j for tho Virginia Midland, which is nowi blocked i j j. t Danville, because the Kichmpnd and Danville Railroad C mpauy has co itrol of the Noi lIi Carwliu.i U utroad. -Sews it Observer ' M The Midland North Caroling Kail- "ivuy Company, j A very important meeting of 'tho stock holders and directors of "this jcompany was held in this city yesterday and much business was tranacted. The- following board of directors was elected fdr the eu saingyear; Lewis Coleman, La ban Pratt, Frederick Davis and Win. S. Denny, of Boston; Henry S. Ferbel, Wini J. Best, KoWrt W. Furgnson, A. V. Stout, and j John Little, af New York j; Richard j II. Taylor, of Washington, D.'C. ; J. M. V.i,.fi T..1... Q IT,.,1 f iiiiiiuuuu u. tiiuuti oviif v no. in aji j .in, John Manning, W. B. Duncan and A. Oaksmith, of North Carolina. The board elected Wm. -J. Best, president; Lewla Coleman, vice-presideut ; Wm. S. Denny, treasurer. I j , Wo are told that this is looked upon as one of tho strongest railroad c mbina tions ever formed in North Carolina, and that the charter of this company is the most liberal ever granted to any corpora tion in the State. It cpnfers the right to lease oi-purchase any or all railroads necessary to the Midland system; toowu aud operate steamships, to buy and sell real estate and to do a general banking business. A large amouut of money was deposited in tho National 13 i:ik of this city yesterd4y to the credit off this com pany. j The company contemplates leasing the Atlantic aud North Carolina; Railroad, and using it as a part of its main line. From Golds!oro to Raleigh the Midland Company proposes to utilize j tho' North Carolina Railroad, but in caso that can not be done, to build an I independent line nearly parallel to tho North Carolina. Whether or not arrangements shall be made with the last named road, the Mid laud, wo understand, will build an air line from Raleigh toSalUbury to connect with the Western North Carolina Hail road, the new link to pass through Ashe boroand Pittsboro, cutting the counties of Rowan, Randolph aud Chatham, and shortening the distance between Raleigh ahd Salisbury by more than forty miles. The route lies through the most closely settled portion of the. Stare, and is unu sually . rich in agricultural and mineral 'resources, besides possessing extensive manufacturing enterprises and large ac cumulated copitai. It is stilted that these three counties will grade the road at their own expense, and otherwise! aid in tho speedy prosecution of the work. The Midland scheme, as now repre-' scnted, will probably meet with hear ty endorsement and have the! best wishes of all classes in this section.; The reali zation of the company's purposes would no doubt confer lasting aud incalculable benefits, not only npou eastern North Carolina, but the entire State. The enterprise is a grand one, and should bring to the gentlemen who control it a handsome profit on their investment. Newbern Nutshell.
