We have not the data nt h;iud to show the per Rentage of increase over previous man ufacturing ventures, "hut tlvre can be no doubt that our people are now thor oughly awake and in earnest. The hum and rattleof machinery are heard in itratiy of the towns and most of the counties of the State. The Tar Heel pulls himself together after his long sleep rejuTeuatf-d, and ready to begin a eareer of industrial activity that shall at length make the State at least sec pnd to none. - Not only has manufactures received an impetus, but agriculture, in piteof wicked and oppressive national legisla tion, is looking up.

There is no boom about it, but a steady, healthy development, a development, too, that is religious, moral, mental, and social, as well as material and pecuniary. This preamble leads us up to au ad mission of old fogy ism similar U that ma4e by the Charlotte Observer last week, on the subject of immigration. Our people are the uWeud.iiits of ths patriots who helped to make the Con stitution and of the heroes who fought for their rights under it; they are proud of the history 77f their Common wealth; th?y reverence its laws, res pect its . customs, and love its soil.

What should we do with a job lot of 0,000 or 100,000 immigrants such as are landed at the New York harbor evr ery week ?

The Behi ing gea tribu nal ot arbitration resumed its aessiou to day and Mr. Carter, of the counsel for the United estates continued his argu ment. When 31 r. Carter proceeded to argue on the subject of regulation he wiis interrupted by fcfir Charles Russell ot the counsel for Great Biituiu who sad tht England would tiot recede from the position that her questiou of rights shoo Id be urtcuedatjai uoin the question of regulations. An animated discussiou tollowed iu Which' Baron de Courcet, president of the tribunial, Justice llurlan, the Brit ish Ambassador, Lord liannau, Sir Charies ltussell aud Hon. E. J. Whelps took part. It was finally decided that the counsel for Great Brituin should argue the two questions separately but that the tribu nal would not give separate decUious. .Mr. Carter will conclude to-day. Iu his peroration Mr. Carter described the slaughter of female seals, heavy with their unburn young aixPother horrors oi pelagic sealiug. To prevent these hor rors aud to protect the seals, he said the United Stales Lad taken a position which he bad explained to the best of hrs ability. The United States hail taken this position at the risk of war with Great Britain, and they had been ready to maintain this position and thu. discharge their duties to humanity even if they had been obliged to face half the world in arms. History would recog nize their right and the justice of their .cause. Hie duty of the United Slates had not been extinguished by a reference of the dispute to u tribunal but had been meiely transferred. The Uuited States had withdrawn arid left to arbitration the sacred duty of forbidding pelagic sealing and confining seal killiug to islands. If the tribunal should decide to assumethis. duly, it would only leave to posterity a new source of contention. From beginning to end Mr. Carter had spoken 40 hours. As he sat down Barou De Cource, president of the court, said : "I cannot refrain from tlmiiking you, sir, for this magnificent speech, which ha; been charaeteriz.-d by a JuUine&s ol view well worthy of this court."

These went to James City aud while they met with no resistance or violence the negroes refused to tell who owned the house- and so no one could be found to sign leases.
