Beeoher and Tal mage aro the two
chronic sensations o( Brooklyn. Tal
mage is being' disciplined before the
Presbytery on accoant of alleged
"falsehood aud deceit" in' regard to
those Baltimore telegrams about the
Tabernacle debt, and also "for im
pr0per methods in preaching, which
f .. . .
tend l bnS religion into contempt."
Tho New York correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Ledger says:
'.'He says the clergymen who are moving
in the 'matter are only a few who feel agi
grieved at his recent strictures upon sleepy
preaching" and sleepy pulpits. This is a
loose way of talking for a minister of the
gospel, but then Mr. Talmage is nothing,
under any circumstances, if not sensa
tional." . .
Beecher, when in Philadelphia, at
tended the opera, and now his very!
religious brethren of the Plymouth
Church are troubled. The same cor
respondent says: v i
"Amocg Mr. Beecher's parishioners the
objection is not that he went to the opera,'
but that he never ventured to do so until be
went away from home. One effect of the
announcement -will be, on his return to
Brooklyn, ihe tender of complimentary
tickets of admission to H. M. S. Pina

The Address.
IRaleigh Observer.l
The address yesterday was a mes
sage both to the Legislature and the
people. It came sounding the notes
of a North Carolina policv, and it I
places the btate brmlv on a JSorthlnnrt
Carolina system. Coming as he does
from the sea washed beach of Curri
tuck, the birth place -of the State, the
Governor proclaims as the domain of
his administration the furthermost
limits of Cherokee. He clasps hands
across the JbSlue Kidge with Lieuten
ant Governor Robinson, and the hope
indulged by old .Doctor Ualdwell in
the classic shades of Chapel Hill, be
comes the aspiration and the spoken
purpose of the State. The public
Spirit will quicken at the declaration
of a North Carolina policy for North
Uarohna.
Senate Sergeant-at-Arms.
Special to Baltimore Sun.
A . formidable candidate for Ser-
geant-at-Arms of the Senate after the
4th of March has appeared in the
person of Col. John A. Sloan, of
North Carolina. Colonel Sloan was
a gallant officer in the Confederate
service. After the war he was en
gaged in business in Richmond, Va.,
for a ueriod, and commanded the
First Virginia militia regiment on
the occasion of its notable visit to
Baltimore some vears ago. He is
well and favorably known through
out the South, and will be warmly
pressed for Sergeant-at-Arms by lead-1
ing Southern Senators.

that incomplete returns show the exist

at the very least.

The Santord Connection How tue
Bill Stand.
A special dispatch to the Stab, from
Raleigh, last night, furnished nothing be
yond the intelligence brought by railroad
passengers as to the situation of the bill to
allow the Air-Line Railroad to establish a
connection at Sanford. The measure
came up yesterday, but owing to the ab
sence of many interested parties it was
postponed, and has been made the special
order for next Wednesday, at 11 o'clock.
We know nothing beyond what has ap
peared in the Raleigh papers on the pos
ture of affairs at the capital as to the
chances of defeating the bill.'though we are
sure that the interests of this city which is
the interest of the whole State in this par
ticular matter have been presented faith
fully, ably and fully. One proposition is
undeniable: that its passage will still far
ther accelerate the growth of cities beyond
our borders, and in that exact proportion
detract from the development of the chief
seaport and metropolitan city of the Old
North State.
Hope-Walking;.
The promise of Professor Dare was res
deemed yesterday, both at 1 and 5 o'clock,

morbid appetite for the- hazardousJ He
walked backward acd forward, played
blind man's buff on a straight line, fell
from the rope and caught himself under
neath the arm, recovered his upright posi
tion, walked head downwards, and fairly
danced at his giddy height. A vast mul
titude witnessed the performance, j but a
j large, perhaps the greater number, declined
to remain and see the most difficult of his
manceuvers the taking up of a collection
for the benefit of the poor
mayor's Cenrt.

Tne Lecture To-Nlgnt.
It is only necessary, we presume, to re
mind the readers of 'the Stab that the lec
ture of Col. McRae will be repeated to
night, to insure a full attendance ' at the I
Opera House. The' subject, "Genius and
Talent," is adapted to the' peculiar, happy
style of eloquence, blended with humor,
which has long since secured Col. McRae
merited distinction as a public speaker. He
certainly possesses, In a remarkable degree,
he faculty of being grave or gay,caustic,or
mild, as : the requirements of. his subject
may demand, and in eliminating character
presents portraits so natural, real, life-like,
that if the personages drawn were unnamed,
they would be recognizable by the features
or characteristics with which he invests
them. Ou and hear him.
The Hop Last Nfshl.
The hop of the "Married Men" at Ger
mania Hall last night, was a brilliant affair
and illustrated how thoroughly domestic
education qualifies Benedicts for managee
rial duties. Bringing together, as it did.
matrons and maidens, bachelors (young
ones, of course), and married men, there
was a larger element of ; beauty, wit and
fashioojthan have ever graced the hall since
it was dedicated to the votaries of the
poetry of motion." No one who par
ticipated seemed to weary of responding to
the calls of the music, and at its close it
was, by common consent, conceded to be
ihe affair of the season creditable to those
under whose patronage it was given, and a
merited recognition of the pleasant enter
tainments given by the Lotus and L' Arioso
Clubs.
In the 'Seer" Leaf.
In referring to a contemplated visit of a
iterary . lady to this city, we ventured to
say that there was gallantry here if we
were in the yellow and eere leaf. The
saucy fellow of the Charlotte Observer there
upon says, "Twon't do. ; Stand up to the
rack, old gentleman; your age won't ex
empt you from service." Oh, yes; this is
all well enough from a youngster who has
never attended a hair-pulling, knows no-
thing of broom-sticks, the velocity of frying- j
pans, and other domestic projectiles; but
we've well, heard of such affairs.
One Caie.
Famine, in its most aggravated form,
prevailed in magisterial circles yesterday.
Squire Gardner investigated a case of ma-
licious mischief, the plaintiff being Jacob
Scott and the defendant Lucilla Forbes.
Jacob alleged that the feminine subjected
his chickens to rough usage, and propelled
bricks or stones against his domicile. The
animus of this conduct was clearly malts
cious, but the Justice suspended judgment
on payment of costs, which were paid, and
Lucilla escaped a jailing.
Mexican Veterans.
The survivors of the Mexican War in this
city and section will be pleased to learn
that information received here leads to the
hope that Congress will, after all, include
them in the arrearages of pensions bill. In
this connection we call attention to the fact
that the National Convention meet in Bal
timore on the 22d inst., and they ought to
be represented.

are properly alive to the importance of

therefore
Resolved, That we are opposed to the
project of making new roads, or of keep
ing up those already constructed, by tax
ation, but are in favor of adhering to the'
present system of working public roads,
and believe it would he efficient if the pre
sent law in relation to overseers and road
hands should be rigidly enforced. ;
Resolved, That the interests of sheep hus
bandry and of popular education demand
the enactment by tne Legislature of a dog
law, as it is commonly called, and that such
a law would be of great benefit to all
. j . Panrto,. a j
of immense advantage to the people of the
whole btate.
Resolved, That the welfare and good name
of our noble old commonwealth demand
that the present Legislature should make
some fair, just and nonorable compromise
of such portions 01 tne public debt of the
State as North Carolina is bound in honor
to pay, and that in order for the interest of
such amount of tne principal of said debt
as the Legislature may agree to pay, may
be felt with the least inconvenience and
hardship by the people, we recommend our
present General Assembly to pass the Bell-
punch law, as tne best means 01 paying the
interest of such principal, believing as we
do that the principle and purpose of such a
law is wise and just, and needs to be put in
legal operation in North Uaronna.
RetoLved, That the Representative and
Senator in the Legislature - from Pender
are hereby respectfully requested to use
their influence in the General Assembly
against any law proposing to keep up the
public roads of Pender by taxation, and in
favor Of the measures announced and ap
proved of in these resolutions.
Mr. Brace Williams introduced the. fol
lowing resolution, which was also adopted:
Resolved, That inasmuch as the Demo
cratic Executive Committee of the county
have failed or refused to act in regard to
recommending magistrates for appoint
ment by the present Legislature that this
meeting recommend that the Democrats oi
each Township meet at their respective
voting places, on Saturday, the 8ihinsL,
at 12 o'clock, M., and recommend to our
Senator and Representative in the Legisla
ture from Pender county the names of
such men as they may desire to be ap
