It is understood that a proposition has beenniade by two prominent capitalists of the city to a certain gentleman who is familiar with the. business of rxinnin? a cotton factory that if j he would take the- management of such an enterprise Lxhey would invest a sufficient sum to erect another cotton factory in this city. The names of all tho parties are withheld for the present, but we can say that, should the proposition i be favorably considered, the parties ! contemplating making the investment are able to put in the business all the money that may be required. So far nothing definite has been decided upon, but it is likely that something 'will result fro'm the proposi tion. charlotte Vbstrver.l Greensboro ' Bit ale: We -learn that Judire Gilmer has rendered his decision 4- is the cases alluded to a few days ago, iu voiving the collection of State taxes from the Wilmington and Wcldon, Seaboard and Roanoke, and Petersburg and Weldon Railroads, in favor of the State, These suits involve many dollars, and will no Hloubt continue to be appealed from nn til the Uuited States reached.

By this method a solid crust is ob- ained in the shortest 'time, and with the least wearing down of material, while if the whole thickness of stone were put on at once, jthe stones by their movement amongst themselves would be worn into sperical shapes and gradually reduced to powder, without binding together to form a solid roadbed. From the middle, the road is made with a gentle slope to each side just sufficient to shed the water that falls, without allowing it to form swift currents. The road should have a drain .on each side of it. The road once completed is kept in order only by continual care. When ever a rut or depressions appear, they should be removed at! once by fillinar in fresh stones, best done after a rain. After many years of use the road may need reconstructing, by cutting down the sides and raising in the middle, but in a hundred years, the body of the road would remain intact. This is the "Alpha and Omega" of all good road building, j To remodel our country roads so as to conform to this regimen, the fol lowing schedule approximates the cost of building one mile of broken lime stone road, haying a prepared earth bed road of 20 feet wide, and a finished surface of broken stone 15 feet wide, and six inches deep. . ' A perch of broken lime stone being arbitrarily 100 cubic fct, would cov er 200 square feet of road way, 6 inches deep. There; being 76,200 square feet in the, mile of road way, 15 feet wide, jjwild require 396 perch of broken stone. p The breaking of which would cost at $1.25 per perch $495 00 Since one perch of Quarry stone makes two perch of broken,or 198 perch at 51 per perch 1 ' 10 laborers, 6 days, at $1.25 per day i 297 00 75 00 3 two horse teams 6 days, at $2 each per day j 3G 00 A superintendent 6 days 1800 ;! $92100 The quarry lime stone should be delivered, and broken along theline of road, convenient for spreading.

It was stat ed that the aggregate of the whole was little less than 300,000; leading members of both the political parties in both branches of the General As sembly, advocated and opposed the bill as submitted by the committee, the same bill that was passed j .there were three factions, one opposed any legislation on the subject at all, choos- in to iguore the petitions from their constituents; another and finally the largest, advocoted the bH that was passed, and still a third faction advq- cated the passage of a bill absolute on its face without submitting the ones- tion to the people. These three fac-' tions had to be reconciled; the bill as it passed, though very defective, was the wisest' course which could have been taken under the circumstances. The members of the General Assem bly were unduly pressed in the mat ter. No petitions were sent asking them not to pass the bill. They had no means of knowing, the wishes of those 'who"; did not sign the petitions, and many thousands now who signed the petitions asking for the passage of the bill, have gone back on them selves and are denouncing the Legis lature for passing the bill which they asked it to pass. ! We have said the course adopted by the Legislature was the wisest arid best.' Why? First, if the General Assembly had ignored what appeared to be the wish es of 300,000 people in the State and passed nothing on the subject the pro hibition element would have denouc ed the Legislature in every nook and corner of the State, and would have claimed that had the question been submitted to them they would have had prohibition pure and unadulter ated, and would in the next campaign brought it before the people or the next Legislature, and still it would have been a bone of contention in 1882. Secondly, if the Legislature had passed the bill absolute without sub mitting it to the people for ratifica tion the hue and cry would have been raised throughout the State by all classes of people that the legislature had deprived the people, without their consent, of their rights and privileges and in the next campaign men would have been arrayed against each other seeking its repeal. But now, as I have said, the Legis lature foresaw all this, and wisely steered between both disturbing ele ements, and considered if it be true that the people were suffering from the curse of intemperance and that t prohibition would relieve them, they would know it and feel it, and that they would remove it by ratifying the law. It fras submitted to them, as it ought to have been done ; they have voted upon it, and they have given a majority of 116,000 against it, which will stand as a perpetual barrier i- against any future legislation on the subject."

Yes jterday information reached this city to the effect that Bou bright, the for ger, had secured payment on a draft in Goldsboro last week, on which he had forged the endorsement of A. H. Keaton, a merchant of that town. The draft was for $75, and was drawn in favor W. R. Swinson, which is the man's real name. It was rumored that he has operated in Raleigh and Durham, but whether this is true is not known. A telegram was receiv ed here yesterday from the president of the Goldsboro bank asking if it would be necessary to seud a man here tto identify Swinson, as the' informa tion of his arrest had been telegraph ed to Goldsboro, and it was perhaps thought that he had been arrested for his offense in" that town, as parties had been watching for him. His statements as to former recti- i i tude of character are thus proven to be lies, and it is difficult to tell the extent of his forgeries. The only j Shrewdness which he has shown, how- ever, was in the small amounts of his transactions, and his cleverness at im itating signatures. Outside of these his work se far as the Charlotte af fair is concerned was very 'fresh" character. Charlotte Observer. Advices from Chili and Ptru to j .

S-f m mre In a letter to. the New York Her- ald, in. which he clears up what might have been calculated to mislead lhe general reader in an article from that journals Washington correspondent, Capt.

I have no anxiety whatever about raising the money with which to build the road. If I live five years longer. I shall transport the largest loaded vessels from sta to sea acrossthe Isth mus of Tehauntepeo. whether the United States contributes one nickel in aid of the enterprise or not. To do this it is not necessary that I shall alieniate, mortgage, or transfer to the j United States or any other govern ment any right granted by Mexico, nor do I expect to take the. United States or any other government into partnership with me. I have no in tention of appealing to the British Government for aid in this mat ter. Should an American or a Brit ish board of directors of the company, when it was organized, choose to ap peal to the British Government for the assistance which is asked of the United States, it will have the right te do so, and to receive such aid under the concession, without forfeiting a single right which Mexioo has grant ed, if the United States shall have then declined , my proposition. It is proper for my countrymen to under stand distinctly that my grant is from an independent nation, and not from one of the Central American repub lies, which are under the protectorate or suezerainty of the United States, and which are included in the terms of the Claylon-Bulwcr treaty. The concession authorizes me to form a company which shall' be distinctly Mexican, no matter what is the na tionality of its stockholders, and it gives it the right to charge whatever tolU it pleases, so they do not exceed what is equivalent to about $8 or $10 nop inn nn inn etmmrx mrrian 11 i na ship. It leaves it as free to alter its tolls as the California railway to New Orleans is to carry grain fer nothing to that port when the harbor ef Saa Francisco is full of British or Amer ican ships, and to charge any price it ; chooses when it has thus destroyed their competition. Article 27 of the concession is as fellows: r "Iu consideration of the magnitude of the work, Eads or the company may obtain aid from any foreign gov ernment, either in money or in guar antees, and may hypothecate the net revenues ,to it, and may transport its mails, ships, property, and appur- tances, free of charge, and may reduce the tarriffs on its commerce and the prices of passage. In this case mak ing the same reduction" te the com merce of Mexico." The same article gives to any gov ernment entering into such agreement with the company the right to enforce it in the courts of Mexico. I offer to r - ' carrv the commerce of the United States for ninety-nine years across the isthmus at half the rates that shall be charged on other commerce out thatt Mexico, and lor this 1 ask the guarantee ot b per cent, dividends for fifteeu years on $50,000,000 of the capital stock of . the company. For bonds payable in fifteen years, and in the event of their non-payment at maturity,' they; arc to receive at 10 per cent, premium in payment of lolls on American vessels Hence every dollar of advance made to the com pan is to be repaid. . Certain rghts company .re ot to exceed 8 perciu. thus giving itj to a certain extent , tho ! right te limit the tolls thaLire tdi be .charged. Should the government accept the proposition and the i. con trol of the steck afterward pass' into the hands of English capitalists, the United States would have V vested right to have her commercejearriedat half rates for ninety-nine j years; ho matter who wenTthe directors; ofj Jtfio company! and no .other government s ceuld then be called upoiby 4tbet company to furnish fits aid to the road because the grant dees not (authorize ! it to accept the aid of morel than one government. Should the United States d feline the proposal 1 'shall certainly be justified in ' going where I can get the necessary funds most easily. Should the stock then oiH af terward be controlled by English cap italists, the commerce of the United States will be very iKffereutly affect ed. British commerce wijl thence doubtless favored to the fullest extent and the commerce f the, world, lex-' cept that of Mexico, may be made to pay all that it will bear. More'thkir this, the company will have the right if it chooses, to ask the , aid of j the British Government, under, the terms of the concession, and if given, what is called m England "a fighting ' in terest, in the works would then be acquired by Great Britain which would never be surrendered except at the end of a jtaar that would cost probably ten times as much as Tthe ; entire ship railway., ; , - .

There is not a single engineering difficulty in the entire project which begins to com pare with the uncertainty, delay, and costliness involved in undertaking to construct an harbor for the Nicara gua canal at Grey town. ' The tSan Juan river once discharged its waters at this place, and ships of war twen ty years age,1 were then able to cross; the bar. The main volume of the river is now discharged throughjthe Colorado river, wjiich runs through j the territory of Costa Rica, and . the immense volume of drifting sands . ! j . ! :'& Hal i moving along the coasts of the Carib bean sea have almost completely ' ob literated the harbor of Greytown.!t I am anxious that the!

If Congress sees fit to decline thje proposition, the United States will be estopped from objecting lo its acceptance jby another government, any talk afterward about our right to Mexico or to dominate . a j portion- of control the inter-bceahio transit across her territeryiwill be as ridiculous as j for France, to forbid a Swiss railway making a f rebate oil through traffic to a' house. . that Jiad saved it frorii protest, or for England; to assert the right to regulate rates on the New York Central-railroad! be cause Canada ! is at the other end of it. .Very respectfully.
