Nothing but the snap judgment could give such a bill of abominations the slightest show-- iflg. Light would be its destruction The .following, from the Raleigh Observer, is instructive: "Major Hearne, in another column, tells us, to suDstance, that a gentleman who is here Is ready to make a cash offer for; the Western North Carolina Railroad . A hasty glance at the manuscript leaves the impres sion that the hew syndicate does not pro pose to DUUd the Ducktown branch, and that is the onl consideration inducing any one to entertain Mr. Beat's proposition. As for the other road whv. toe can name fifty men mrih Carolina, any one of wnpm can Duild the Paint Kock branch, indvxnddbeffladtodoti." We have not the slightest idea that under the proposed sale to Best that a mile of the Ducktown road will be evT&r construeted. There are a multitude of railroad rumors. One is that John Robinson is in league with Best. His line of steamers, on the Chesapeake, and his roada from Norfolk via Weldon and Raleigh to Hamlet are the beginning of a great line. The Charlotte Ob server, .in a discussion of the project, says: 'The magnitude of the plan is a line of steamships between Boston, New York or Baltimore, byail from Norfolk to Weldon, from Weldon to Raleigh, from Raleigh to Hamlet, from Hamlet to Charlotte, from Charlotte to AshevUIe. -'from Asheville to Dacktown.fiom Ducktown to Chattanooga, from Chattanooga to Memphis, from. Mem phis to Texarkana, from Texarkanato El Passu, from EI Passo to San Diego, and from San Diego to the Golden Gate of the Pacific Tta magnitude, its importance and the perfect details of the plan are self-evident. We do not say this to Ur. Best's plan, but if it is not it ought to be. We scout the idea of an alliance with the Richmond & Danville Railroad, because that is a rival line and can never be anything else, unless 'the Western North Carolina Railroad is to be allowed to stop just where it is; but the moment it becomes a through line its outlet must be the Atlantic eoatl, and the natural direction ?Wbe Norfolk, Fa."

Michaels, corner of Fourth and Church streets, on Saturday night last, about a quarter to 12 o'clock, where he got into a quarrel with the proprietor, which culminated in blows. The evidence was to the effect that .the two men got to quarreling about the weighing of a pound of sausage Grant had called for, when Grant invited Michaels to come out from behind the counter. Tbe latter said "All right," and startedaroUnd tbe endof the counter with a dusting-brush in his hand, when Grant struck him and knocked him - down, after which be kicked or stamped bim, when they were parted and Grant was arrested by tbe police.

Sec A meeting of our business men and citi zens.generally was held in the City Court room, in tbe City Hall, yesterday afternoon, commencing at 4 o'clock, to hear the report of the Committee appointed at the meeting on Friday afternoon last, at the Produce Exchange, to take into consideration the proposed sale of the Western North Caro lina Railroad. A H. VanBokkeleo, Esq., who presided at the former meeting, called the assembly to order, explained the action of the meet ing on Friday, and slated that the meeting Was ready to bear the report of the Com mittee. Tbe Secretary, by request, then read the report, which, after some discussion, in which Messrs. A. T. London, DuBrutz Cutlar, Junius Davis, and others, partici pated; was amended by striking out a por tion of the third resolution and adding cer tain other words. The report, as amended, is as follows: Wilmihton, N. C, March 20, 1880. A. H. VanBokkelen, Esq., Chairman of Meet ing cf Citizens : Bib The Committee to whom was re ferred the question of the proposed sale of the Western North Carolina Railroad, beg leave to report the following preamble and resolutions,wbicb were unanimously agreed upon by the Committeer-and recommend their adoption. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Wm. L. DeRosset, Chairman. Whereas, It Is of tbe first importance, to the State at large, that the Western North Carolina Railroad should be completed at the earliest practicable moment; and. Whereas, It seems to be improbable, if not impossible, that this can be done under 1 tbe plans heretofore adopted, or which could be devised, understate control: It behooves us, under the circumstances, as good citizens, not to throw obstacles in the way of accomplishing the desired ob ject in completing said Road, which would result in good to tbe State at large, though such sale might possibly not result in spe cial benefits to some particular section thereof; 1. Be it Kesolved, 'mat our immediate Representatives and Senator, as well as the friends of our section in the Legislature, be requested to use every effort to secure the best terms possible in the proposed sale. 2. That, in our. opinion, a sale in tbe manner proposed will be on much better terms than can possibly be obtained by a sale at public outcry. 3. That we recommend an amendment to tbe bill now before the Legislature by which, in case of non-fulfilment of tbe contract, and especially the provision for completing tbe Ducktown Branch.H will be made more binding on tbe purchaser than at present proposed, by adding the words (in sections 10 and 13 of tbe bill) "by W. J. Best, bis associates or assigns," in refer ence to completing said road. 4. That in lieu of tbe proposition to re imburse the State for her appropriations (paid in cash to said road) by tbe delivery of $550,000 of first mortgage bonds, that a sum in cash, or its equivalent in bonds of a marketable value, snould be paid. 5. That we . consider it unwise to have allowed the construction of certain railroad lines, whose only reason forjexietence was an injurious rivalry with established lines of traffic, and the completion of which has proven damaging to capital already in vested without affording compensating facilities to the people at large; and we do hereby urge upon tbe Legislature the im portance of checking the construction of further parallel roads, tapping our main lines, diverting that trade which legitimate ly belongs to them, seriously impairing the Bute's interest in tbe North Carolina Rail road, and destroying a system Which would build up the East as well as the West. And especially xlo we oppose- the extension of the "Midland Railroad" from. Danville to Statesville, and favor "the defeat of that project by any legitimate means. . At the conclusion of the reading it' was moved and seconded, that the report be re ceived. Tbe Chairman stated tbe motion and said that a discussion of the merits of the reso lutions was now in order. Mayor Fishblate said there was no doubt as to the position ot tbe people of WUming. ton as regarded the proposed, sale. They were against tbe sale as heretofore pro posed, but not opposed to the sale of the road, if the proper guarantees were secured to protect the State's interest. He thought the Legislature should be called upon to pass a resolution forbidding any discrimi nation against any road having its termi nation in the State, or against any town or city In the State. Mr. Cutlar said a suggestion of that sort bad been made by the committee, bat they thought it inexpedient to hamper the pre sent called session with such matters, as they could be -made the subjectof future legislation. Col. W. L. Smith considered it a dis grace to the State.th at the matter of com pleting the road should be given into the hands of persons residing outside the limits of the State and hot interested in ; its wel fare. He denounced the scheme as a politi cal trick, and could see no justification for such a course as was proposed to be taken by the people of Wilmington in this mat ter. If the Legislature is determined upon selling tbe road let them do it,;but don't let the people of Wilmington be a party to the tale. Mr. Donald MacRse said nobody in Wil mington advocated the sale of the road. Their action was simply looking to the pro tection of the State if it must be sold, which we bad reason to believe waif inevita ble,; He alluded to the proposed Midland Railroads arid poke. of the disadvantages to WUmington. which ! would be likely to follow its obstruction. . . . CoV Roger Moore opposed the , sale, bat thought it a foregone; cooclushm He did not.ilike some of the expressions hv the repofc and, thought they looked -like -an endorsement of the Best' preposition, He was for.reco9nmejnding the. Legislature) to sell to the best advantage to tbe State. TUB TT E8TEBN TT. : qtEBTION. 1" WHOLE NO. 3,933 am not jt think that tbe resolutions combined tbe proposition to sell pn the Best prositioD. If it 7788 so he should oppose their passage. He was in favor of selling the road on tbe best terms that could be made. He didn't think the State would be able to complete the road, and couldn't see how the money for that purpose could be raised. The Chairman, Mr. VanBqkkelen, didn't understand the resolutions as leaning to the Best bill, and asked the liberty 'to move that wherever tbe word Seat occurs in the resolutions the words mott advantageous be substituted. Mr. Cutlar said the word was spelt with "a little b." He thought it the beat plan to sell by private negotiation. Col. DeRosset said he was reported by the papers as being in favor of the sale, and he should not go back :on it. He said there was no doubt about the sale taking place, and uponjthat position the commit tee have acted, and it was the unanimous opinion of the committee that a sale on the terms recommended would be preferable to a sale by public outcry. The matter.was still further discussed by Mr. O. G. Parsley, Sr., and others, Mr. P. urging that oil proper guarantees be provided, especially as regards discrimina tion against'North Carolina Railroads and North Carolina ports, at the conclusion of which there was a call for "the question." Mr. Parsley moved that the resolutions be put separate. It was decided to put the last resolution first, which was unanimously adopted. The remainder of the report was then put, and It was adopted with but one or two dissenting voices. On motion the meeting then adjourned. Firemen's Anniversary. Wilmington Steam Fire Engine Com pany No. 1 celebrated its eleventh anni versary yesterday, with parade and engine practice in the afternoon and a supper at the Little Giant Engine Hall in tbe evening. At tbe engine practice in the afternoon the boys showed what, they could do with their machine in an emergency, making a run from the engine house to the river, at the foot of Dock street, spinning out eleven hundred feet of hose and throwing a stream in six minutes and thirty seconds "the shortest time on record." ' i ' At the entertainment in the evening a bountiful supper was spread. There were no set speeches or regular toasts, but the wit like tbe wino was unrestrained, and each man followed the bent of hls own fancy in speech and gesture. The hall was tastily decorated with wreaths and flowers, the Cornet Band was in attendance, and a "good time" was had by everybody. Wilmington ice Company.
