Henderson's resolution was aubwtted to the North Carolina delegation before its Introduction in the House aid was heartily agreed to. -Mr. Iiandiall had a talk with. Congressman Reid Ott Ihe subject and scope of the resokitimi and promised Ins hearty nd actire co-operatidil. . The purpose ol of the resolution is to call atteutipn to the operation off the iuiernal revenue laws, tlietr abuses and oppressions. The most effectual way to do it is by a thorough com mitte investigation. The resolution will be pressed, and the opinion is entertained that it willtiesult in some practical and remedial legislation, if not in the abolition of the internal revenue, system. This item is from the Gretntforo Patriot correspondence, and shows how Mr. Hen derson is Working. He is already apprecia i ted as a worker and his persence is sure to be felt in the national congress just as it 9 ,.- km in our State legislative halls. The It practical method of securing the re or modification of the Interna) Reve- m . i i i L. it. l true law is by means oi some buoh resolu tion as that introduced by Mr. Henderson Ta him out people, and in fact the people fthi rvmorpftsional district, look for re - w-----; ir J lief from abuses of t his system. It is a pleasure to know that he is faithfully en gaged at his post of duty, and his constit uents many rest assured he will leave no stone untured when their interests are at stake. Judge Clark has .been waking up the gamblers at the Capital City. Jas. H. Miller, who kept an. elaborate establish ment next to the Yarboro House, and who submitted, wasJincd $2,000 and 30 days in prison. He appealed. Other gamblers who submitted appealed from smaller fines and 30 days, What a lively place the ja.il would be if they were all caught and cagedl. Judge Clark is set ting an example to the other judges of the State whieh would, if practiced by all, re-establish proper respect for law and court abd render crimes less frequent and lynchings things of the past. Let a wholesome reform be geguu in the ad ministration of the. law and violators feeling this change will be very apt to turn overalhew leat i. Some one who either knows or does not know, what he is talking about, having undertaken to tell some thing concerning members of congress and their salaries, says: "Your average member draws his Salary very promptly and spends it quite as fast. Few save anvthinsr, and many of them are 'hard up' all the time;" and "some of them are eternally in debt" often "bor rowing small sums ranging from f 10 to $50." If true, it is a bad sign for those who thus manage to waste five or six thousand dollars a year. Such prodigal fellows can not possibly be good guardians of public monies, but will vote it away as if it were trash. They oii"ht to be lcit at home to earn what they spend. The New iork World presents a num ber of reasons why it thinks the present Congress can do nothing to arrest the coin age of silver, the most important of all be- ins. that there is a majority against it in both branches. It is not a party question Neither party is united upon it; and the friends of continued coinage are strong, in both. It was mining all day at New Orleans On the 14th, with the thermometer at 56. It is thought no veryi serious damagewas done by tho cold wave to the sugar cane of Louisiana, or the orange groves of Florida, the rain being regarded as a fa vorable circumstance. Our thanks are due" Senator Vance for a copy of his speech on "The necessi ty for Silver coinage. " Extracts from this speech appear in this paper, and will appear in subsequent issuess. It Was a masterly effort. The Republicans in Congress are pre paring to make a united effert against President Cleveland's removal of officers. They will demand his reasons and com pel him either to give them or refuse to ao so.

VAitar Wntrh man: There are two Acts of the last Legislature of North Carolina, which have been, and still are, the sub wt of eritieLsm. The first is, the amen ded law in regard to the registration of iwdtf fee. Hpi-wtofore. the law required deeds of conveyance to be registered within two years from the date of their execution, but still, persons bought lands, paid their money for it, and took deeds for the same. If it sniffed their convenience, they had them registered, if not, sometimes many years would elapse, and still they re mained unregistered. Persons consider ed their, titles irood as against all comers and only had their deeds registered, in manv instances. as a matter of safety and protection. Thev considered that they might loose their titles by fire or other accidents. Hence, thev had them regis- ptered, so that in case they were destroyed or lost, thev could still be found on tne County Register. Under the amended law, passed Feb. 27th, 1885, if we read it aright, no deed or conveyance will pass title, or be valid, but "from theregistration thereof." Now, according to this law, a person may pur chase lands, pay his money, and take a deed for it, and still, it is not worth the paper on which it is written, "but from the registration thereof." And, for their services, the Clerk is allowed a fee of 15 cents Jar each name, and the register, for recording the same, 50 cents for" the first three copy sheets, and 5 cents for each additional copy sheet. It further provi ded that the Secretary of State should advertise the law, that the Register df each county shall post notices at Sour places ui each township, &c., all of which was done, at a heavy expense to the State. Ihe question very naturally arises, Y hy the necessity of all this trouble and expense, at this particular time? Persons had jogged along in the old fashioned, careless way, ever since the government of North Carolina existed. If thev chose to do so, they had their deeds recorded, if not, they did not do so until it suited their convenience, and still, there was never any1 question as to the validity of their titles. I he people at large are not, and never can be benefitted by this law. 1 he Clerks and Registers are the only persons who can possibly be benefitted by it. I was in our Clerk and Register's ofiice a few days prior to the time limited and there was a perfect jam of persons proving their deeds, &c And judging from what I saw on that one day, alone. it must have cost this one county nothing short of two hundred dollarsor more. In the State, there are in round numbers, ninety counties, and taking this county as a crixerion, aim putting it at even the minimum rate of one hundred dollars to the county, then, the entire cost paid to Clerks and Registers, would be nine thousand dollars ! besides the expense of advertising, v And after all, what bet ter off are the holders of deeds. It is a well known fact, that many large land holders in this county, never take or read a newspaper, whilst others cannot read an advertisement. There are doubtless a large number of land owners in every county, who never read, saw or heard of the law. Consequently, many deeds have not been registered, and in future years, such a crop of litigation and lawsuits as will be the result, never was dreamed of in the "Old North State" before. Will some dne inform the people why this law was necessary at this particular juncture? The wisest thing ' the next Legislature can doj is to repeal the law, or at least, extend the time for registration. Such a law is too coercive, and looks too undemo cratic to suit the people of North Caro lina. THE INFERIOR COURT. There is another matter, that is. the abolishment of the Interior court in the counties of Forsyth, Rowan and Wilson. At tho session of 18G-7. an act wis passed, providing for the establishment of Inferior Courts, provided the majority of the magistrates of anv countv thought Kbest to establish such Inferior Courts. In pursuance ot that act, the magistrates of Rowan met, and established an Inferior Court, in the year 1377, 1 believe, and eleeted three persons to hold said court. The reason assigned i for the establish ment of this court, was, that the Superior Court had so much of its time consumed in the trial of petty criminal offenses, that it had got some Jeicht or ten vmm behind with its civil docket. Consequent ly, many civil eases had been nendinir fnr eight or ten years, and still, the suiters could not have a hearing. Therefore, it was considered advisable to establish n Inferior Court, with limited criminal jurisdiction, so as to relieve the Superior Court docket of a large number of petty crimes and . misdemeanors, t that civil suitors might have a henrincr' The court was established, and continued to hold its sessions for eight years, during Which time a very large number of cases were disposed of, to the great relief of the Superior Court, and to the seeming satis faction of the bar, the prosecuted, and everybody concerned. The law creating the court, also provided, that whenever the Justices of the Peace were of the opinion that a necessity for said court no longer existed, after three months no tice, at a regular term, and in presence of the court, they might discontinue the same It is a generally admitted fact, that du ring the existence of the Rowan Inferior Court, it served a good purpose, in re lieving the Superior Court of all cases of which the two courts hnd jurisdiction, that at each term during the eight years of its existence, there were on its dockets twenty-five to one hundred and fifty criminal cases, all tried or disposed of all of wnich would otherwise have bur dened the docket of thei Superior Court . Now, the question is, why was the In ferior Court abolished? was it good economy to do so? I think not, and the public at large think not. Because, no sooner was it abolished than we have two additional terms of the Superior Court fastenexl on us, to take its place, and everybody knows that one term of the Superior Court will cost as much as two teVw6 yT of the inferior Court. The Justices elected to hold the court never received more than three lre da7' hilst a Jge re ceives about one hundred dollars per term. Besides, if a necessity for the court had ceased to exist, the magistrates were empowered to discontinue it at any time But the necessity for the court had not cease to exist, else whv i t w v w iwo extra terms of the Superior I Court to fill the void created by Its abol ishment? I have talked to several of the most intelligent magistrates of the county, and they all say that they were never consulted on the subject of its aoonsn ment, andthat they would not have giv en their sanction to the same. They say that it was a cheaper court, that there was still a necessity for it, and that they would be glad to know who is responsi ble for its abolishment, or by whose au thority it was done ? and in their behalf we press the question, also the one con cerning the registration of deeds. x ours iruiy.

January 16th, at 3 oclock, P. M. Rev. Isaac N. Monn was called to the Chair and Levi Bronson was elected Secretary. The citizens generally partic inated in the meeting. Methods were discussed for promoting and entertaining the "Local Preachers Conference and Tabernacle Meeting" to be held at the College in August next. On motion of Johu F. Butt the tima of meeting was fixed for Thursday the 19th day of August the Tabernacle meeting to continue 12 days, and embracing the 4th and 5th Sabbaths in August. Isaac N. Monn, J. F. Butt, and Levi Branson were aypointed a committee to rent or purchase a large Tabernacle for the occasion. On motion; in was unanimously resolv ed that this meeting be formed into a Talertiacle Association. Ji C. Estes, mayor of the town, was elected President and Dr. R. L. Aber nethy Vice President of the Association. Jt was unanimously Resolved, That a Tabernacle and Arbor be erected in the grove, near the College, large' enough to accommodate at least six thousand people. The meeting then adjourned until 10 A. M. Monday. On re-assembling it was ordered that the next meeting appoint a committee of four gentlemen, and four -ladies to solicit tent-holdersand transact any other business for the benefit of the Local Conference jind Tabernacle Meet ing. It was also ordered that the. Tabernacle Association meet once a mduth or oftener at the civil of the President, the officers and committee being an executive com mittee for executing the wishes of the As sociation. Isaac N.

There is a rumor far too good to be true, we tear, that it is not certain that the dangerous and unconstitutional Blair bill will pa?9 Congress during the present ses sion. The longer the evil is postponed the better for the States. It is reported that a majority of the House Committee on Ed ucation do not favor it. We can hardly credit this but would be glad to know it to be true. Wilmington Star. The Watchman is sorry to have to oppose the sentiment of the Congressman of this district in the matter of the Blair Bill. Mr. Henderson is committed to the bill nnd made it a campaign issue. Most all the politicians, both in and out of office, favor it. The Watchman is opposed to it from principle and believes that the results, when once the scheme is on foot, will be disastrous to States rights and to that personal freedom in the education of chil dren which parents have so long exercised. The rich may avoid this by sending their children to pay schools, but it is the poor who must submit. Statistical Eeport of Sunday For the r. U o Si PI o j $ o I 3 4 Denominations k School Locations.
