INFLIKNCE OF THE SOUTH.
Experience and Hlzh Character of
Southern Democratic Member-A
Positive Policy Advocated by Them.
From a regular correspondent of the Tri
bune.1
Washington, Dec. G.
The policy of inaction advocated
by many Northern Democrats does
nut meet with much favor among the
outlier!! members. They dorri be
lieve the Presidency is to be won by
silting on the gate-post and waiting
lor something to turn up. Standing
stiil and railing at the Administra
lion does not pass with them for
statesmanship. There is a good deal
more political sagacity, talent for
jmbiio affairf, and parliamentary
skill (somewhat rusty from . long
iisuse) among the southern Kep-
je-eJitalives than among their breth
ren from the Northern States. The
Southern Democracy, eager to as-M-it
itself in national affairs, put
its best man forward for Con
gress, while a large number of the
.Northern Democratic members were
nominated without any expectation
that they could be elected. The tidal
wave of 1874 swept them into office
to the amazement, and often the dis
gust of their own party, which took
ihem up to till tickets doomed, it was
thought, to defeat. There is no
timber for the manufacture of states
mem in these accidental members,
:icd not much more in a score or so
of muscular, loud talking men who
have worked their wav into Cougress
from the back country districts by
dash and impudence rather than by
brain power.
With an advantage in the intelli
gence and political experience of its
representatives the South will play a
part iu shaping legislation such as it
has not played since 1860. The lead
ing members from that section have
great faith in the Democratic party
as the party destined to reform the
evils of Government and put the
country on the road to prosperity.
They insist that it-shall be a party of
action. It should employ its power
ia the House, they say, to prove to the
country that it is worthy of full
coutideuce, that it is bold and aggres
sive, as well as prudent and conser
vative, and that it has a distinctive
policy which it is not afraid to sub
mit 10 the verdict of the people in the
Presidential election. Tbis view was
enlarged upon in conversation to-day
by a distinguished man from one of
iiie Gulf Stales. He said that iu the
Democratic platforms of the past and
in the utterances of the great Demo
cratic leaders of former days would
be found the principles which fully
meet the present demands of the peo
ple. Thus the theory of civil service
reform was enunciated by Calhoun
and Benton in their speeches point
ing out the evils of concentrat
ing power and ; patronage in the
hands of the Executive, and the
true principles of currency were ex
pounded by a long line of Democratic
statesmen. Iu fact, there was scar
cely a public question of the day, he
sai.J, for which the correct solution
cuui,j not be found in the principles
the oid-iime Democracy. The
i'lmiiiaries of the past had onlv to be
i kt-d to for light to guide the party
on its future career. Iu answer to a
ju. siinn as 10 the altitude of the
.'Uiheni delegation toward the
national debt, he was very positive in
Ins assurance, that all the Drmo
erasic members from the South
wire determined that nothing
shou d be done lending iu the
remotest way tb impair the finan
cial honor and credit of the nation.
Thfy desired to go upon record early
ii the session, on a plain declaration
to that effect which would quiet any
apprehension, that might be felt by
tiie people of the North or by the
public creditors abroad. He hoped
to see an unequivocal resolution
adopted by the unanimons vole of
lite Democratic members of Congress
hat would put it out of the power of
the Republicans to charge the Demo
cratic party with favoring any meas
ure hoking directly or indirectly to
Jtpudiation.
. Gov. Brogden has comtnated
t ie sentence of Austin Bill, colored, seu-'nc-d
to be hung Friday in Northampton
county for complicity in the murder last
winter oi Mr. Preston, keeper of the rail
rad bridge at Weldoo, to imprisonment to
uard labor for life.' It will be remembered
liat one of the murderers on being hune
acknowledged his own guil., but claimed
luat Austin Hill was innocent of the crime
charged.

the plaintiffs threw up the contract after a
short time in connection with the building
of the road, and entered suit against the
company for alleged failure to comply with
the terms entered into. The suit was con
tinued on the docket until the war. It has
been recently revived, and probably stands

Tbe Fire Yesterday niornlair.
lesterday moraine, about half-past 3
o'clock, the alarm b,ell at the market house
sounded for fireTIt was at an hour of the
morning when people generally sleep tbe
soundest and it was some minutes before
many of them were aroused. The fire was
found to have originated in the building on
the west side of Third, between Nun and
Church streets, owned by Bishop Atkinson
and occupied by Capt. Walker Meares.
The fire department soon arrived on the
spot and by their united exertions the
flames were speedily extinguished; not,
however, before the house had been so bad
ly damaged as to be unfit for service,
The building was insured in the "Conti
nental," represented by Messrs. Atkinson
& Manning, for $1,000, which, we under
stand, will fully cover the loss. Capt
Meares' loss in the burning, removal and
breakage of furniture, &c., was, we regret
to leacn, quite severe.
Immediately upon discovering the fire,
we hear, Capt. Meares made all haste to the
nearest engine house (Cape Fear No. 3) and
gave the alarm, which enabled that engine
to bo at the fire in a very short space of
time, which act of prudent foresight on his
part no doubt resulted in the safety of the
adjoining buildings
We regret to learn that Col. Roger Moore,
Chief of the Fire Department,' met with
quite a severe accident, his left arm being
bad'.y wrenched by falling over a lot of
rubbish. By prompt attention, however.
my p-obiibility of serious inconvenience
was if-moved, though the wouudtd limb
i!l necessarily be very painful for a few
days. Mr. P. T. Dicksey, of the Bucket
Compauy, was also quite painfully injured
about the face by a burning brand falling
against it, while Mr. R. W. Andrews, our
local confrere of the Journal, who runs with
the Hook and Ladder " mercbine," had his
right thumb dislocated by being thrown
violently against an iron fence as the truck
was on its return from the fire. Tbe wound,
of course, is a very painful one.
The insufficiency of the alarm yesterday
morning was very evident, and we are glad
to see, in this counection, that Chief Engi
neer Moore is alieady making an effort to
prevent a recurrence of the evil.
The exact cause of the fire is unknown
but it is believed to have originated from
the hrnitiou of matches carried into the
ceiling by rats,

&c.
A number of cases of a graver character
were continued for a future healing, among

of meat, Jack Primus, charged with steal
ing a shawl, and Henry McRae, charged
with hU a!ing the sum.of fifteen cents from
Harvey Lruwn, a prisoner in the Guard

Hope Thieves at Work.
On Thursday night Dr. Harrell, who re
sides at Whiteville, went to Peacock's
Store, on the W., C. & A. R. R, in Colum
bus county, for the purpose of visiting some
patients.and took lodgings for the night with
Mr. Albert Peacock. The next morning,
upon visiting the stables to look after his
horse, it was foiind.that his own animal nad
that of Mr. Peacock had been stolen during
the night and carried off. Both gentlemen
started in pursuit, going about a mile on
foot, for which distance the animals were
tracked, when they returned. Dr. IXarrel1
and a neighbor then procured horses and
again started in pursuit, but at last accounts
no tidings had been received from the pur
suers. The missing horses are both very
fine ones.
Since writing the above a reward has
been offered for the recovery of the stolen
horses, the particulars of which will be
found elsewhere.
Fire on idyrile Grove Sound.
The dwelling house on Myrtle Grove
Sound, in this county, belonging to Mr.
Joseph N. Burriss and occupied by Mr.
David R. King, was destroyed by fire on
Thursday night, the 9th in&t., about 11
o'clock. The family, who were asleep id
one of the upper rooms, were first awakened
by the falling in of tbe roof and had barely
time to escape with their lives, but after
wards succeeded in saving the most of their
furniture. The fire ia supposed to have
originated from a spark from the chimney,
which is believed to have ignited the roof
near it. The loss, is between $700 and
$1,000, but our informant was not advised
A3 to whether there was any insurance on
the building.

The approaches to this structure have
been settling for some little time, and it is
now believed that tire whole bridge is in
a precarious condition and becoming every
day more and more likely to tfve way un
der some heavy load. We are aware that
this is a year of enforced economy in the
municipal administration, but will it not be
better economy to make now the small bat-
lay necessary for repairs than to wait until
some car or carriage falls through into the
gulf, destroyingthe lives, perhaps, of many-
valuable citizens and involving the city in
suits for hundreds of thousands of dollars ?
We would not desire to spread needless
alarm, but we have long regarded the
bridge with anxiety.
In this connection wc notice that the
foot-bridge buiit at this point by our public
spirited citizens, Messrs; John Colville and
F. W. Foster, h taking on a neat coat of
paint. We hope that the authorities may
be induced to investigate the condition of
