' The sensation of to-day is a report

are sadly in need of a leader. The
very act ot resigning wonld cause
gome delay in tne electoral count, as
it would be necessary to elect a new
Speaker before other business conld
proceed.

Referring to the County Gov
ernment bill, Col. Cameron writes to his
paper, the Hillsboro Recorder, as follows:
"The bill had some little opposition from
the Democratic aide, eight Democrats in
the House voting against it on its third
reading. Home ot these thought tbe bill
did not go far enough; others voted in def
erence to the wishes of constituents. The
Kepubiicans voted against it to a man, and
made strenous fight at every step."
Col. E. R. Liles thus refers to
Henry G. Williams, Esq., editor of Wilson
Advance, and a member of tbe State Sen
ate, in bis letter to the Pee Dee Herald, his
paper: "Williams is a lawyer, editor,

New proof of his Galls.
During the late term of the Superior
Court foLAhis county, a colored man by the
name ofT3am Mannine was converter) nf
slaughtering and appropriating to his own.
use a heifer belonging to Mr. Patrick Ras
berry, of Masonboro Township. At the
time of the trial many expressed their
doubts as to his guilt, and at one time it
was thought that he would be let off with
light punishment after he was convicted,
but be was finally sentenced to the peni
tentiary for three years. A day or two ago,
however, a circumstance transpired that
threw new light upon the subject, and
made the fact of. his guilt more apparent
It seems that another family rorantlv

moved into the house occupied by Man- I layette ville, and offices on Cape
ning at the time of his arrest, when a dog I Blver, Tuesdays and
belonging to the new comers, having scent

ol. Hi. R. Liles, writing to his Daner

neu. 16, says of the New River Canal
scheme, which was indefinitely postponed
tn the Senate : "It has cost the State much
money, having been before the Legislature,
with varying fortunes for several years.
The gentleman who has always had jt. jr
hand and lobbied for It, Mr. Youn& has
worked as faithfully for it as ever did a
man for anything, and is wall known to all
who have been here of late years. He
takes the many jokes of members good-
numoreaiy, worKs patienUy, and submits
to defeat resignedly. And it" he lives will
be here si next Legislature wfth his maDs
and memorials, and his tale of Angola Bay,
