President MacMahon will appoint par
liamentary foinuUry provided the Chamber
will vote the budget; if not, he will ask
the Senate to decide between his resigna
tiom and a fresh ' dissolution. H :r-i,The
Pope is worse. The rumored sur
render of Plevna contradicted. The
strike of masons in England is breaking up.

and his wife,' an infirm couple, aged 70,
were found murdered it Sheffield, Mass. ; a
negro arrested as the murderer. Pop
penhausen's liabilities estimated at 8.000,-
000 dollars; assets $7,000,000. Reouf
Pasha is organizing a camp of fifty thous

Senators of the Left, but an understanding
'appears to be difficult. Patterson and
Christiancy visited the White House yeater

the Patterson habeas corpus case next

some one "blabbed i'Vacebrding to it the
President favors resumption and is not op
posed to limited silver.' ' Discussion in
Senate on the Kellogg and Spofrord cases;
Hoar and Hiii made elaborate speeches.
- Patterson made a pointed speech, in
which he said he would vole for the seating

Money 56 per cent.; gold heavier at 102J;
cotton quiet and steady at 11 5 16
11 7-16c; flour dull; wheat lower; corn i
lc lower; spirits turpentine steady at 84c;
rosin quiet at $1 ?01 75.
The rumored proposed surrender of
Plevna is contradicted by the Rus
sians. Turkish prisoners declare
that Orirnan Pasha has snimlies for
many weeks. He will fight in the
last ditch and will never surrender.
Kellogg will no doubt be seated .
Both Patterson and Conover will
vote for it. On the other hand, it is
more than probable that the Demo
crats will gain both Butler and Ena
lis. This .will give the Republicans
a majority of two, counting Senator
Sharon. The Senate will stand 38
Republicans to 36 Democrats. It
.will be sufficiently close to insure
more scrupulosity of action on both
sides. The above is based npon the
iilna f tint fVnAniir on1 PaHflHIUI Will
continue to vote with the Republi
cans. ; ' . .
Patterson's second speech in the
Senate attracted marked attention.
He declared he would vole for the
admission of Butler and Kellogg.
-Tie tooK occasion - to criticize very
sharply President Hayes' policy
towards the South, and charged that
he bad handed over his party friends
to their enemies. He gave Edmunds
and Conkling a rasping -a Koland
for their Oliver. He defended Gen.
M. C. Butler against the charges im
plicating him in the Hamburg mas
sacre. He ridiculed the idea of re
viving the old Whig party.
The condition in France has not
very materially, changed. ; The Pre
sident has expressed a willingness to
appoint a Cabinet that will represent
the division of parties in Parliament
provided the Republicans will vote
the budget. If, on the other hand, this
is not done, then he has no alternative
but to throw himself npon the Senate,
and let it decide between accepting
his resignation or declaring , another
dissolution. ' Two. prominent repre
sentatives of the Left (Republicans)
were to meet him, bat hopes of a sat
isfactory settlement do not appear to
have been strong. ' : . . .

"North Carolina has never had a truer, a

watchful, and powerful in debate. He has

Indians are . fast becoming civilized, v In
another column we give the proclamation
of the Cherokee Chief appointing a day of

and not long since one of the eastern branch
of the tribe was sent to the penitentiary, for
larceny, from Clay county. We learn
that since the backwater in Chockeyotte
creek, near Weldon, has subsided, a crack
in tbe culvert over the creek was discovered,
rendering it prudent, in the estimation of
tbe conductor ni engineers, not to run
tbe trains.over it; consequently the. train
which left Raleigh yesterday morning
stopped on this side and the passengers and
baggage from the other side were trans
ferred to it. A gentleman from the
Southern part of tbe county informs us that
the bridge over Middle creek, just above
Alford's, formerly Clement's, mill, was
washed off by the recent flood. nAt
the suggestion of Mr. J. J. Ferrall and Re
gister White, Mr. Yearby, Keeper of the
Work House, has put the inmates of that
institution to rebuilding the bridge over
Walnut creek, on the Fayetteville road,
near Gattis, Jones & Ellis' mill
Raleigh News : The Auditor is
sending out blank forms and instructions
to the commissioners of the several coun
ties on which to make their reports of the
insane outside of the asylum, in order to

A correspondent writing from Hali
fax, November 26th, says : "The loss on
large plantations along the river will be
from seventy-five to one hundred bales of
cotton to each farmer. There was very lit
tle corn gathered on any of them, t So of
conrse tbe corn crop is either lost entirely
or badly damaged. Our dispatches
have already given a graphic account of the
great flood about Weldon, the loss of .pro
perty, &c. Judge Lynch, tbe venerable
agent of the Wilmington and Weldon Rail
road Company, declared that it exceeded
anything within his knowledge.- He said :
"The Koanoae river is six ieet nigner wan
ever known before." The town was really
surrounded by water. : ' The loss of proper-,
ty in the vicinity is immense. One million
dollars will not cover the damage to crops,
&c., between Gaston and Plymouth. The
damage sustained by CoL N. M. Long, of
Halifax, may have been placed at too high
a-flgure in our dispatches, but the amount
cannot fall short of $15,000, ... ! ;-

: A couple of young gentlemen who .were
oh their way to the Sound on Wednesday
evening, intending to participate in tbe
coon hunt, having been detained in the
city to such an hour that they were com
pelled to travel a portion of the distance
after the night which was dark and stormy
had set in, found it difficult to navigate.
After passing a certain point which they
recognized as being very near their destina
tion, and going some distance beyond with
out distinguishing any further evidences of
their proximity to the Sound, they finally
became confused. In the midst of their
perplexity a cart or vehicle of some kind
was heard passing in a different direction,
upon which the young men hailed the oc
cupant, who proved to be an old resident
of the Sound, when the following collo
quy ensued: . , ...
.Old Resident Where are you going ?
Young Men Going to tbe Sound.
O. R. No you are not; you're Oing to
Wilmington; I'm going to the Sound.
And sure enough, upon investigation, it
transpired that the 'young men, after get
ting nearly to the end of their journey, had
retraced their steps two-thirds of the way
in the direction of Wilmington ; and how
phey got turned around is a problem that
they have been vainly attempting to solve
ever since. Some of their friends have
freely intimated that they bad been taking on
a little too much "stimulants" to keep out the
cold, but this is doubtless a slander, for we
happen to know that one of the young gen
tlemen wouldn't touch a drop of "red-eye"
with a forty-foot pole.

They consoled themselves, ' however, with
the capture of one marsh hen , under diffl

On Thursday morning a colored fellow
went into the store of Mr. T. H. Howey, Jr.,
and asked to be shown some shoes, 'which
request was complied with,' and he pretend
ed to be examining them with the view of
choosing a pair to suit him, when,1 seeing
a favorable opportunity, he suddenly seized
a pair, hid them under his coat and darted
through the door. Mr. Howey ran to the
door and called to the thief to stop, when !
he dropped the shoes and continued run

and darting into seme secure retreat.
