There secrus io be a nice little scheme 0.1 foot in Raleigh to sacrifice the State's. interest in the Cape Fcar.& Yadkin . Valley Railroad. The State now owns -, 00 shares of this stock, which plight, aUhc very least, to be worth 55.000. and this it is proposed to-";rivc away without, so far as wc can sec, any guar antee of a completion of the road. Wo i.nre not seen Uhc bill, but we hare judzed of its tenor it oiii the remarks of j tvhieh we publish heiewith: )Vc have glauced over a uiutiniro- duced in the fccnate authorizing a sale f the State's stock in the Cape Fear nd Yadkin Valley Railroad, The bill nrovides that the commissioners shall; asn the States stock to Robert W. Donnell, and Murchison & Co.. of New j York eitv. A. "i . Stokes, oi Kichmoml, i John I). Williams, E. J. Liliy . J. A. f T T. Inwhwi .1 I nrnM- Morfhead. J. K. and W. A. Moore. V lily t .

That up on the adoption of this act as a part of the charter, the grantees above named shall deposit with the State Treasurer $70,000 qf North Carolina 4 Jper cent, bonds," and thereupon the assignment nhall be made and a reorganization had. That the company may issue mortgage Loud to the extent or $15,000 per mile vi J"0ad constructed. That for the $30,- 000 mortgage bonds of the company. now owned bv the State, the grantees shall pay cash par value to tne Mate. That the company may, it it chooses, complete the road or build branches. That if it shall choose to build a branch to a point convenient ' to Frankslin3 viilo within three years, the Treasurer id to return $35,000 of the North Caro lina 4 per cent bonds; and then if the company builds another branch to Dan vtlU within three years, the Treasurer is to return the balanoe of those bonds. That the company shall pay the Treasurer $90,770 of its new mortgage bonds to pay for the convict labor al ready pertorsneu, ana tne otaie is io furnish convicts according to. present acts, aud all other convicts not other wise disposed of by law, upon same terms as now. rcceiring paymeut in mortgage bonds. That if the compauy build the road to Patterson all of these mortgage bonds shall be returned to the company. The gist of the proposi tion seems to be that the grantees are to pay the State $30,000 in cash for the company's mortgage bonds now held by the State. That the State is to fur nish the convict labor to construct the road, receiving pay in mortgage bonds. That the company is to deposit $70,000 withe the State as a guarantee that the two branch roads will be built in three years; when they are built the guaran tee is to be surrendered. If not built in three years the guaranteee is to bo forfeited. Jf in addition the road is completed to Patterson tho State is to surrender the mortgage bonds received for the cor vict labor. The grantees will have to raise less than $100,000. The convicts will do the work, the company will furnish the iron and ties. The company need do nothing. If the income of the road is now $10,000, it would be good investment for- the grantees to stop where they arc, or by ironing the road to Greensboro they could stop there. We believe it costs less than $4,000 a mile to iron a road; if the company shall be able to market its mortgage bonds, and get some more funds to" buy iron with the State will give -up the '".wiwi wui.. Arc. The completion ot tho work serma to depend entirely on the ability of the company to market its bonds. Tlic Completion of this road has al ways been a sort of hobby with us.

Scandalous. j. So rude, iudeoorous aud noisy were some of those attendance at the Opera House on Saturday night that many of the finest efforts of the; performers were lo?.t upon those who were there for the purpose of listening.- Their conduct was not only annoying to a Iargeportion of the audience, but also to the actors, who on one occasion were compelled to stop and let the noise sub side. Miss Eytinge, when called be fore thel curtain, took occasion to ad minister a scathing rebuke at the rude conduct, and she was heartily endorsed in the hearts of nine-tenths of the audi ence. The police were in attendance, but we presume unofficially, as there were no attempts made to preserve or der that proved effectual. We understandithatseakskin coats are going oat of style, and in consequuee colds are increasing among the fair sex. How fortunate there is such a remedy o "11 r- "Rnll'a i Vn-inrVi Rerun! i. The Railroad Commission. We publish below an editorial article from the Goldsboro ilessener in which Col. S. I. Fremont of this city, is very handsomelp alluded to. If the commis sion is to! be created we agree with the Messenger that tiie gentlemen to com pose it should be not only able" but pos sessed oftheimblic confidence and wc rnnliallv endorse what it says in refcr-H "ence to Col. Fremont as one. who can fill tho bill exactly ; j Present indications point to the estab lishment of a railroad commission The "entleraen to compose such a commis sion should be not only well qualified fer the discharge of its duties but pos sessed of public confidence to the fullest extent. At least one of the commission should be a man having had railroad experience. A friend suggests Col. S. h. Fremont. No better selection could be made. A thorough railroad man of large practical experience, he has al ways proven 'himself a friend of jthe people, and in the contestagainst rail road monopolies his tongue and pen hayo never remained idle.

I About 10 :45 o'clock on Saturday night the wood shed on the premises of Mr. S Burtt, on. the corner of Dock and Eighth streets, caught fire and was en tirely consumed. The flames spread to the kitchen of Mr. W.-J. Penny, on the lot adjoining, which was partially de stroyed. The alarm was given as soon as the fire was discovered and the fire de partment was promptly on hand, and by their exertions tho fire was kept from extending to the other buildings in the immediate vicinity J The fire origina ted in a barrel in" which ashes contain ing lire embers were deposited. The loss was not severe. Mr, Penny had insurance on his kitchen to the amount of $100 in the Mutual Insurance Conf pany of this city. j J "Felicia."
