" i . . . . - ! !- vobuiiok me fiiecioni ISrecialtp New York Herald.1 Washington, Jan. 9. ; inere-H reason 10 -.ueueve iuai, me important work of the session, the labor of ibe two committees on count ing the electoral votes, gets on very well. The Senate committee, consist ing of Messrs. Edmunds, ' Morton, Conkling, Frelinghuiysen, jThurman, Bayard and Ransom, have been very closely engaged for several days, and have so far advanced with their pre liminary work that they will be ready to morrow to ask for a conference with the House committee.' The lat ter, consisting of Messrs. Payne, Hun ton, Hewitt, Springer, McCrary, Wil- Jard and Hoar, has not held many meetings as yet, but the members have appointed a sub-committee to collect all the precedents on the sub ject of the electoral count, and this work has been done with' surprising rapidity and completeness,! and is al ready out of the printer's hands. It will be carefully studied, not only by the members of the two committees, but by all who wish to inform them selves on the 'subject. The discus- : sions and conclusions in the two com- m a a . I ml r mmmrr w ana fj rv d it Z lulLlOtJa are Kept vci v iiviiic,uuii iii la believed that an amicable spirit pre- vans in me oeute cuiuiiiiliub, aim that the whole question will be fairly and fullj considered by the members as an important constitutional ques tion and without reference, to what the immediate political consequences of their final conclusion may be. The House committee on the. privileges, powers and duties jof the House in counting the electoral vote is ready to report and may do so io-morrow. This is not one of the joint commit tees,' bat a special body, consist ing" of Messrs. Proctor Knott, Sparks, Randolph, f Tucker, Marsh, Burcbard and Seelye. The report will be moderate in tone, but will maintain, by precedents and authori ties, by the declarations of the most eminent statesmen from early times to the present, and by the unbroken practice, that the House has the right duty .and privilege of taking a part in the electoral count. ( In the words of Henry Clay in 1821, 'the two Houses are' called on to enumerate the votes for President and Vice-President; of course they are called on to decide what are votes." And in case of a disagreement between the Houses, as Mr. Clay added, "One House would say the votes oughi to be counted; the other that they ought not, and then thft vof pM wntild hn Inst !il to gether." . . . v 1.1 ,' DlMtit Grows A pace. Like an 111 wind, and cannot be mattered too early. What is a trifling attack o.' sickness to-day may, if unattended to, become a eerious ease in a week. Small ailment should be nipped In the bad before they blossom into fall blown maladies. If this ad vice were attended to, many a heavy bill for medi cal attendance might be avoided J When the liver is disordered, the stomach foul, the bowels obstruc ted, or the nerves disturbed, resort should at once be had to that supreme remedy, Hostetter's Bto-win- few doses of which will restore healthy action and put the system; in peruse. Itigm wise precaution to keep this incomparable preventive in the house, since it checks, with unri valled promptftude disorders which breed othersfar more dangereu, and in their latest developments are themselves oiien iuu. j THE OBSERVER NEEDS NOFOKMAL STATsWoPPRm ciples, nor elaborate recital of what it will do, or fcxpects to do, in the coming year.

Of long experience in their profession as editors, respectively of the Fayetteville Obsebtbk and the Wilmington Jouhkal, they do not affect to doubt the soundness of the general Judgment which as signs them ability to tarnish a newspaper suited to the needs and adapted to the tastes of the people of North Carolina. Differing in politics in the olden time, there was never a difference between the Ob. sxbvxb and the Journal in zeal for- the interests and honor of North Carolina. To promote the one, and to uphold and add to the other will be the ob ject ef the Obbkbvbb now. Of very decided opinions on questions of public interest, and apt to give those opinions plain ex pression, they deem it the first duty of a newspaper to furnish its readers with the information necessa ry to the formation of their opinio., to publish all "the news and their purpose is to make Thx Obsxbvxb now, as of old, a truthful, accurate, con densed history of the times in which we live.
