THE SWAMP LANDS.
i
Mr. Bell's bill for the improvement
and reclamation of certain swamp
lands in 1 New Hauover and other
counties up as special order. Mr. Bell
amended.
Mr. Linney opposed the bill in its
present shape. The Board of Educa
tion proposed to give half of the five
hundred -thousand acres of swamp
land to a canal company for its ditch
ing and draining:. Now this land at
$20 per. acre Will bring $5,000,000,
enough money at $15,000 a mile to
construct a railroad from the seacoast
to the Tennessee line. It would be
a poor trade to give this away to a
canal company just for its draining
and ditching, as foolish as killing the
hen that laid tue golden egg.
- Mr. More head favored re-referring
in order to frame another bill.
iur. bell supported trie bill : in a
very handsome way.
Mr. French favored the bill, but
moved its reference.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, Jan. 29.
The resolution of instruction to our
Congressmen in relation to the estab
lishment of an uniform rate of inter
est, was taken up. Avery long dis:
cussion ensued in which Messrs. -Nor
ment, Means, Pihnix, Mebane, Oak
smith, McRae and Staples - partici-
pated. .
Mr. Staples offered a substitute
asking Congress to restrict National
lianks to 6 per cent, interest, .iur.
Norment, the introducer of .the orig-
- inal resolution accepted the substitute.
Mr. Pinnix opposed the resolution,
and deprecated Federal intervention
in matters of home policy ana raie.
The rate of interest was a matter
peculiarly for each State to settle for
itself, lie wanted a low rate ot m-
terest. but he wanted each State to
say what it should be.
Mr. Means moved tp postpone un
til the 3d of J ebruary.
Mr. Spears argued against the res
olution at some length.
- . Mr. Tate advocated the resolution.
Mr. Norment next took the floor in
suntort of the resolution.
Mr. Means movey to indefinitely
postpone the whole matter. :.
Mr. Richardson moved to amend
by saying that Congress prohibit Na
tional Banks from paying interest on
deposits.
fr. Hurlev wanted the matter
postponed until a day certain, in or
der that time might be allowed
examination and discussion. ;

The question recurred on the mo
tion to uostpone indefinitely, and it

was carried by a vote of yeas 63,

ference. writes to nis paper as
fnllnwa: It is believed that the Executive
, Committee will report in favor of calling

bill cannot get the requisite" two-thirds in

the State recognize the 1 necessity of. some
amendments to our Constitution, the differ
ence of opinion that exists among them as
to its policy is too great? to be reconciled.
At least one half of the Conservative party
are opposed to the call of a Convention by

disregards the sentiments of that portion
opposed to a Convention they must be field
responsible for the result! in 1876. t j

To the Patrons ef Husbandry
We print the following circular, received
from Mr. T. Mi Moore, Secretary of Cape
Fear Council Pi of H
At a meeting of the Cape Fear Council
of the P. of H., held in Wilmington, N. C,
On the 17th of December last, the impor
tance of the farmers,; and especially the
Patrons of Husbandry, taking an active
part in the Cape Fear Agricultural Associa
tion and Fairs, was discussed and the offi
cers of the Association expressed a willing
ness to make any arrangement with the
order that would give satisfaction and
build up said Fairs. There was a commit
tee appointed, Who waited upon the Asso
ciation and were kindly received and ar
rangements were made to ascertain the fi
nancial condition of the Association and at
the next meeting of the Stockholders, which
is the second Friday in February next, lay
before the Council a correct report of their
financial condition 'and allow the Grangers
to take whatever part they might desire,
There has been a disposition to hold
aloof from these Fairs on account Of the
management of them heretofore Now,
brethren, if we are alive to the requirements
of an Agricultural ; people these Fairs are
essential to bur growth and prosperity; then
come forward at our next meeting here on
the second Friday j in February and take
part in the management of the coming Fairs.
We must have something of the kind if we
are prosperous; and at what point can you
get the accommodations necessary in this
portion of the State other than Wilmington?
Here we can have guaranteed us the assis
tance of the Railroads, the business men of
the city and the citizens generally. : Then
come prepared to act and let us all unite in
showing to the; world the grandest exposi
tion of agricultural' products ever seen in
eastern North Carolina.
It is essential at the next meetin? that
there should be a full attendance; it is time
to make arrangements for supplies for the
year, farming implements, &c, &c. This
qan be done through the order at a great
saving and many questions of great impor
tance will be before the Council.
j All the Granges of the Cape Fear regifln,
who have not yet united with the Council
are requested to do so at the next meeting,
and aid, us in giving that assistance to the
Fair that our united interests and success
demands. I !'.'."' t

A Necessary Improvement.
The proposition to build ;a bridge over
the Northeast branch of the Cape Fear
River, at Croom's Ferry, isj just now at
tracting some attention. The idea seems
to be a good one, and if carried out it will
materially benefit our city, lias it takes a
very important step towarda facilitating the
conveyance of large quantities of tar, tur
pentine and other products, in which that
section .is said to abound its immense re
sources having been but slightly drawn
upon up to this time, on account of its dis
tance from a market. - This fact will be
plainly understood when it is known that
Croom's Ferry, the point at which the
bridge is proposed to be built, is the highest
point of constant tide water; navigation for
steamboats, the river above that place
abounding in shoals. The idea is to con
nect the two opposite shores; of the river by
a bridge, and then build a road from this
point across Angola Pocoson. and in the
direction of Duplin aud Onslow. The dis
tance across the Pocosln -is about eight
miles, and such a road, traversing' such a
section, would bring much; valuable land
into demand. This, we think, would be a
move in the right direction. One steam'
boat man has already offered to subscribe
$200 00 to build such a road. The State
would do well, we think, to. aid in the con
struction of such a road, as its beneficial
effects must be seen at a glance. '
The Belgian Block Pavement.
We learn that the jury of; six appointed,
three on the part of the Front street prop
erty-holders and three ori the part .of the
city, who have had the matter of assess
ment under consideration, have failed to
agree fully, and.have therefore been dis
missed. They agreed to assess the proper
ty to the extent of $9,000, that being about
one-third of the cost of the pavement, but
they failed to agree upon what proportion
of the assessment each property -holder
along the line should pay. j ;,
Improvements.
All traces of the great conflagration that
took place on the night of jthe Democratic
illumination, on the wharf between Ann
aud Church streets, are being gradually ob
literated. ; '
The Marine Railway of Messrs. Cassiday
Uros., which was so seriously damaged, is
now undergoing a thorough course of re
pairs. The sheds are being replaced and
improved upon, and the machinery has
been receiving the necessary repairs. In a
short time the reprirs will be completed
and all things in readiness for the further
carrying on of the Marino Railway
Fire.
The alarm of fire sounded last night at
about 10 o'clock and was found to be
caused by the burning of a chimney situa
ted upon the premises ' of Mrs. Henry
Bremer, on Front 6treet riear Dock. Be
fore the engines arrived ion the spot, the
Den bad ceased to sound the alarm, no
danger being apprehended from the burning
chimney. No particular damage resulted
OPERA KIOtrSE.
Edwin Adams Last Night.
The exquisite poem of Tennyson, "Enoch
Arden," has found in the man j who filled
the Opera House last evening a grand in
terpreter, w;hpse genius is even more than
equal to its adequate and splendid rendi
tion. The simple pathos of the poetical
narrative, preserved in literalness of ex
pression in the drama, was so nobly pre
sented that the whole house was at his feet
.when the curtain fell on the touching death
bed scene. I
There is no place to commence a criti
cism. Tne real interest begins at tne open
ing of the fourth act, where Edwin Adams
as Enoch Arden is discovered under a palm
tree, ' ' .. --!"';
"On an isle at morn,
Rich, but the loneliest in a lonely sea."
t ' -The
soliloquies are pronounced in a sad,
deep, rich and powerful tragic voice the
voice of a man who has fathomed the
depths of human suffering by the plummet
line of rare genius and elaborate culture.
All'tho woe and wretchedness of his situ-
ation burst in trembling accents from his
ips, as, sitting under the palms or standing
with outstretched arms on his lone rocky
observatory, he implores the Eternal Power
to bring him aid, or catches the mystical
images and hears the mystical sounds from
his far-away home beyond the sea. The
scene of the relation of bis shipwreck and
sufferings is pathetic beyond anything in
the play except the last act. The words
Then the great stars that globed them
selves in heaven,
The hollower bellowing ocean, and
again I
The scarlet shafts of sunrise but
no 8a& "
seemed an inspiration of his own.
In the whole of the fifth act he is the
perfect, martyr to his sense of right, and the
high-hearted Christian. The scene at Philip'
Ray's window, his noble prayer, his
binding Mirion Lane to . secrecy until his
death, the dying words of hope uttered in
the bright illusion of residence on the lone
ly isle,
'A sail I a sail !
Iam saved,
were all stamped on the minds of an eager,
sympathizing audience.
Edwin Browne's PhiMp Bay was-quite a
clever piece of acting. ; Miss Josie Crocker
rendeied Annie Lee with considerable abil
ity, though We dissent somewhat from her
conception of the character. ITpon the
whole the play was well brought Out.
