GONE AGAIN.
Our junior editorial " we left us
asain this mornincr. We don't know
whether he has gone to see his rela
tions or to lobby some bill through
the Legislature. Something has car
ried him to Wake C. II. ; and he
didn't look at all like a man who ex
pected to be tried for his life, either.
Well, we know how it is ourself this
habit of " touring " it for a few days.
It's a patriotic business in which "the
host newspaper men of the day some
times indulge.. The junior carries
with him our best wishes. As he
stepped aloard the train this morn
ing he wa-s singing 44 Come Birdie,
eom,w with a gusto that would have
put Katie Putnam to trie blush.
CBED1T HIOBILIEB,
In the National House of Represent
atives, the Credit Mobilier Commit
tee have made a long report. Blaine
is exculpated. The conduct of Dawes,
(larrield, Kelley Bingham -and Sco
lield is severely criticized; while reso
lutions of expulsion in the . eases of
Ames and Brooks have been reported.
In regard to the Seuators implicated,
the report states -that the evidence
lias been sent to the ' Senate for its
action. , . , , . . - -
This is a sweet business through
out, and will long be remembered as
one of the most - delightful episodes
in Congressional life. . 1 .
THE PRESIDENT'S VISIT.
The City Council of - Macon, Ga.,
have unanimously tendered President
. (irant an invitation to visit that
city. We consider this action timely
and proper, and would be glad to see
it taken by every city : in the South.
I resident Grant will visit the South
not as a Federal General or m a Ke-
publican politician, but as the Presi-
lent of the United' 'States: :and we
trust he will be everywhere received
with the respect due the high position
lie occupies. '

From a gentleman wba arrived here from
Burgaw, in this county, yesterday after
noon, we have thepartlcalarsof the terrible
tragedy that occurred near that place on
Monday, in which a colored man by the
name of Sam., Perry murdered, his wifa
Perry lived at a place called LUtington, a
small settlement made up' almost entirely of
colored people, about one 'mile and a half

and not drink any more whiskey. Imme
diately upon his release, however, he went
to his house, seized a loaded rifle and shot
his wife (whdhad accompaniedhint home)
through the breast; killings her almost in
stantly. Mr. . Penny and others heard , the
report of the Weapon when it was discharged
and hastened to Perry's house to see what
was the matter apprehensive that some
thing terrible had happened. Upon arriv
ing there they found the poor woman
weltering in her blood, but the murderer
had disappeared; and when our informant
left Burgaw yesterday no trace of him had
been discovered, though every effort was
being made to find out some indication of
his whereabouts. ' '' '- r
Sam Perry is about 40 yean of age, his
wife having been some 5 years his senior.
He is a native of South Carolina, having
come to this county with Sherman's army,
and is dark complexioned, of medium size
and about five feet four, inches high.,
No inquest has as yet been held over
the body of the unfortunate woman, but It
is presumed that -Coroner Hewlett will go
up for that purpose this morning.

, Bill laid upon the table. ; . - , ;i
The bill incorporating the "Carolina
Central Railway Company, was put upon its
third reading. ; ! '; :. ' '
Mr. Humphrey moved to strike out , the
amendment . heretofore passed . requiring
said corporation to complete' the road
though Shelby to Rutherf ordfon, and to in
sert tne following: "That should tins cor
poration purchase the Western North CarJ
olina Railroad, . or.in any way obtain, the
control of that road, it shall not have the
right to take up the track of any part of
said road, but shall maintain the same and
complete it to 'Asheville . within: two yean
after such purchase or control; and failing
to. do so, shall forfeit all right to control the
same under any title acquired for such
purpose.'1 ' " : ' '
- Messrs. Allen and Humphrey warmly
supported the adoption of the substitute. :
JUx. welch opposed tne striking of the
substitute requiring the road to be com
pleted to Rutherfordton; as he deemed that
it would be unjust to the people of that
section, who had subscribed to the Wil
mington, Charlotte and Rntherford Rail
road,, not to complete the. road as the
charter of the company. ' ,'
Mr. Dunbam argued that the corporators
in the Carolina Central Railway had noth
ing to do with. the-. Wilmington,- Charlotte
and Rutherf ord Railroad Company, farther
than to hold mortgage bonds upon the same ;
that the latter Company was utterly unable
to complete the road, and that the new cor
porators desired and had to go in some
otner direction tnan tne one required in tne
charter granted to the W., C. & R, R. R.
Mr. Murphy urged to the same . effect
He thought that so long as the corporators
asked nothing unreasonable in their charter
and no aid from the State, they should not
be restricted to any given line.
Mr. Seymour could not see how the cor
porators could be restricted, and would vote
for the striking out of the amendment
The motion to strike out was adopted.
The amendment offered by Mr. Hum
phrey was adopted.
Mr. Miller onered an amendment, re
quiring the Central Railway Company to
complete the W. N. C. Railroad, should
they get possession of the road, to the town
of Shelby, within twelve months after said
possession should have been obtained.
Adopted.

reading ayes 33, nays 3. .
Mr. Waring moved to reconsider the
vote, and that the said motion to recon-fririet-
ha laid on the table. -Adooted. 5 :

Prof. Cromwell having tendered a considerable
proportion of the proceeds of several of his art en
tertainments in Richmond, Va., to the "Lexingto
Lee Memorial Association." as a contribution to.
ward the monument at General Lee's tomb, I am in -
structea oy tne executive committee 01 tne Associa

ance of his offering, especially as it indicates, on his
part, an appreciative estimate of our great, good,
and world-honored commander. . ' - ' :
Bhould Prof. Cromwell visit other Southern cities.
and pursue a like course, his contributions there
from to the same sacred object, will be also kindly
accepted, and for the additional reason that num
bers 01 our Boutnern mends will, no doubt, patron
ize these exhibitions as one way ot testifying their
interest in this monument, ana their love for him
whom it imperfectly commemorates.
