R: will bid for the leace of the Atlantic & North Carolina R. R. at tbe approaching meet, iog of the stockholders of the latter road, which is to be be!d at Beaufort on the 24th Inst. Mr. Best, it is said, will also bid fjr it. It is a well understo'l fact that this rad cannot be run much longer ai it is. It canuot be con tinued under Sta e control and .it is only a matter of time as to a change in tbe management. This is also . the view of the Qoldsboro Messenger t which pub lishes a lengthy and interesting report of an interview with Hon R. R. Bridgers, rela ive to the mat er. As the subject is one of much interest to our people we make no apology for reproducing here much of the Messenger's report. It says: T,he stockholders meeting of the A. & N. C R. R. is looked forward to with no little interest. Two distinct propositions are to be submitted by corporations de sirous of leasing the road, and the stock holders are to consider and decide which of the two they will accept, if either. The financial affairs f the road, as also its present isolated condition, threaten com plications, sooner or later, and there are many who would be glad to see tbe road sold or leased provided this can be done with proper and sufficient safeguards to protect the interest of the peo pie along the line of the rood. There is no longer any hope for the road under State control. It morti fies us to say this, but unless indications grossly deceive us, it can only be a mat. ter of time when the road must be put up under the hammer and scld to satisfy a huge judgment debt and nearly $200, 000 of mortgage bonds which will mature in aftw years. Of the propositions to be made, one, we loam, is to be made by Wm. J. Best. We suppose his proposal will be similar to the one made by bim a few months ago, only that then ha proposed to make tbe lease in his own name, and that now he will do so in the name of the West ern North Carolina Railroad. Whether Mr. Best .will make any concessions on what he at first proposed, we are at pres ent not advised. We would be glad to know something of . bis intentions and policy. The other proposittaa comes from Hon. R. R. Bridgers on behalf of the. Wilmington & Weldon Railroad, and an outline of his bid has already been given in these columns; Until we shall bear from Mr. Best we are hardly pre pared to discuss the p'epositions, and cannot say which it would be to tbe in terest ef the road and our people to accept. Neither the State nor the stockholders of the road haye so far realized anything in the shape of dividends, and as no such benefits can be expected even by leasing the property, for years to come, it would not be doing violence -to tbe State or stockholders to demand proper protec tion against freight oppressions, lor the people along the line of tbe road, whether it beieased to Mr. Eridgers or to Mr. Best. We are exceedingly anxious to do tbe best that cat be done for tbe people During a conversation with Mr. Bridg ers; a few days ago, concerning his pro position, he talked to us freely and can didlyand all who know Mr. Bridgers know that his word is as good as his bond. He holds that if the Atlantic & North Carolina is to be attached to any other.road, that a mere glance at the map will show its proper alliance te be with the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad; that the great bulk of its passenger business and its corn business would be done with that line. Mr. Bridgers has no doubt that the corn trade of Hyde and otber eastern counties can easily be restored to ITewbern. Said be : "Tbe grain finds its market in the turpentine region of North and South Carolina. A large part of it is carried to Charleston, S. C, in small vessels. If this could be restored to Newbern it would make an extensive and profitable item of business both to the merchants of that city and to the railroad company counectirg therewith Cheap rates, would certainly concentrate the largest portion of it to Newbern and that region, tbence to be distributed to the turpentine region by tbe Wilmiog ton & Weldon and the Wilmington, Col umbia & Augusta Railroads and their connections.'' . Mr Bridgers consider the country be tween the Neusa and Sound one of the finest truck countries on tbe coast, be cause besides fertility of soil acd proper climate it has an exception from frost unknown to other, districts of country The AUntic Coast Line, said he, 'is taking large quantities of truck and fruits from Florida, Savannah and Char- leston to tbe northern cities, and we do not hesitate to say that there is no better trucking district than that above named. The truck men all tell us they want six days schedule in a week thty want steamers and rail both t bey want the greatest possible facilities. We have often been requested by truckers ia Jersey, Delaware and Virginia to give .guaranteed rates from that section of country,. with the assurance if we would do so thty would make branch farms there. We also ttlnk. that when yoa reflect on tbe people that vibit the sea coast, that the organization of tbo Wilmington & Weldon Rahroad and its connections is bettor r - - - m located fur carrying summer travel to Morebead City and Beaufort, and we believe we can largely increase the summer travel to these points.' In answer to our qu&stion as to the shape of nis proposition, Mr Bridgers said: We shall submit t ie proportion of S30.000 a 3 ear, which is more ban double what tbe road his ever earned. It has beeu mooing for twenty years and has never paid a dividend. The fact is apparent that the rails and rolliag stock aregreaily depreciated they ba've most cf tbeir life behind. thrn. The day is not didtant wben there will be an inexcrab'e demand for their 'tebt-wal. Unlets this can be done it will yearly become more expenivo to operate the road, with slower aad more expensive schedules. Unlets the traffic can be increased tbe sale of the road, at ao distant day, is inevitable it cannot exist iu its present condition a great while longer. This proposition in some ten or eleven years woold pay the debt now on the road and give the State a handsome income.' We called Mr Brjdgerb attention te the question raised that a leese ot the road to tne Wilmington ,& Welden Read woi 1 bring about an injurious competition bu tween Wilmington and Newborn, te which he replied: That cannot be, as the large proportion of the traffic in the competition district goes to northern points. They could well afford to join hands on this question and stand to gether.' Concluding h!s conversation Mr Bridg ers said to us: Ifthe State should re gain control of the North Carolina Rail road after the termination of its present lease, at the wish of the .stockholders ex pressed in general meeting, the Wilming ton & Weldon Railroad would be willing to surrender the lease, the proposition for which will be thirty years. If this North Carolina system can be carried out, the officers ot this road wish to Interpose nothing to the development of our part of tbe btate there is no development but what will enure to every other part. Let us all strive to make more for market, increase the products of the earth and in crease the products of manufactures and arts. No one concerned can get all; let each get a share. If the road is leased to the Wilmington & Weldon Rai'road, the stockholders will have a like interest over the leased property as wed as the present property. The only interest they will have will be to give increased busi ness to the road. If they were to raiso the prices of freights, they would drive off instead of increasing business. Vari ous reports have been pnt in circulation of our purpose in' wishing to get the road. Our purpose is to increase the production of the country, secure an enlarged traffic that will be mutually beneficial tojLbe roads and tbe communi ties interested in them Mr Bridge s thinks that the existing freight charges at most of the stations Kinston, Falling Creek and LaGrange can be reduced, and promises that. More head City, Newbern, Goldsboro and other points shall be protected. This is aH we could ask for our people, uulets it were a tine line ot steamships at Morebead City; and this Mr Bridgers has candor enough not to guarantee, bur, says he, 'I am wil ling to connect with any good line of steamers that will form a connection at Morehead.' The fish and oyster business at Beaulort, Mr. Bridgers thinks, ought to be greatly increased, and saw mills and tbe lumber business more encouraged. All this he proposes to do, because it will add to the prosperity of the road and furnish additional freight to the Wilmington & Weldoa Railroad. A fair trial only is needed to convince the most skeptical, that Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer wjll accomplish all that ia claimed for it. 1 Returned Stalwart. Sheriff Manning returned booie last night aftsr a several weeks' trip at the North, during which he took in Chicago. where tbe genius of the Republican party was in Convention assembled, to save, not the country, oh no, but the great(?) Republican party, so-called. The coun try and the constitution, it is well known here, has long been a myth to the people of that section and party who have long since practised all the powers of an oli garchy under the catch name of Republi canism. More blood has been shed in the name ef liberty than of tyranny; yet it was tyranny and despotism all tbe time that caused the blood ef flow. But Sher iff Manning says the sight was a grand one in the immense hall among such an immense crowd to peopie, and was worth a trip to Chicago to witness; but wait till you bear from Cincinnati. jjjlore Responsibilities. We learn that Capt. Jao. F. Divine, Su perictendent of the W. & W.' and W., C. & A.

Jupiter is morning star and the only planet of much account during the present month. He is a brilliant object these morning?, as he leads the starry hosts and holds his court without a rival in lustre size and brightness. Those who have watched his movements will note his in creasing magnitude and brilliancy. The sun ,is 8.1II diversified with spots, and Jupiter is near enough to perihelion to make Lis influence felt. Astronomers have been wise prophets thus far as to the influence of the commencement ot the sun spot cyole. Tornadoes and cyclones of extreme severity have borne w itness to abnormal conditions of the atmosphere, and a wave of iutense heat, such as has not occurred for a quarter of a century at this season of the year, has confirmed the exactness of previous observations. We must still expect the usual storms, waves of beat, and auroral displays that follow the maximum of sun spots ; we have yet to learn whether the coincident perihelia of the four great planets will increase and prolong the elemental warfare. This is one of the most Interesting problems of the day, as well as one of the most practical and important. It will not meet with a hasty solution, for the period of observa tion extends to the year 1885. Saturn is morning star, aad holds his place not far away from his more brllllamt rival. He, too, the second in size of the giant members of the brotherhood, is traveling toward his opposition with tbe sun. Mars is tbe evening star. His ruddy glow is paling and his size dimin isaing as he wend 8 his way toward the sun and increases his distance from the earth. Mercury is evening star after the 2d, wben be reaches his superior con jaoctlon with the sun. He then rises and sets with the sun, being apparently join ed with him, as the word 'conjunction' implies. Venus is mornUg star, and travels so near tbe sun as to be entirely hidden from mortal vision. She rises now a few minutes before 4; at the close of tbe month only about a quarter of an hour before the sun. The J ate moon falls en the 22 J. On the 6th, one day before her change, she was near Venus. The new moon of tbe 7th was near Mercnry on the 8th, Mars on the 11th and Uranus on the, 14th, and tbe waning moon on the 20th will again pay her respects to Jupiter. On the 22d there will be a total eclipse of the moon which will be invisible in this portion of the globe, bat will be partly risible in the western part of the United States, and entirely visible in the Pacific Ocean.
