It is understood in London that this shows that the. Premier relies upon the masses against the influence of the aristocracy. Texas, as we before said, has a very.strong delegation the strong est in Congress we "may believe. What State can show two such men as Coke and Maxev in the Senate. Its best man in the House is the able and venerable Reagan. The Wash ington correspondent of the Troy (N. Y.) Times writes as follows: "The debates of the past few days have brought out Representative John H. Rea tran as one of the master minds of Con gress. Mr. Reagan is seventy years of age, but m all save big voice he is still a power ful man. ! He has had an active and im portant pubHc career. . Old readers know him best as the Postmaster General of the Confederacy. The old man was wrong on the secession idea, but is so thoroughly. right on some of the questions of to-day that all who meet him learn to iespect and admire. The young Northern fellows oc casionally twit him of the past, but he gen erally gets back at them in a effective manner. ' He has ben a resident of Texas since 1839.' Many of our readers will be pleased to learn that Mrs. Burnett, in spite of years of bad health, has nearly completed a novel, which will be published serially in the Century Magazine. The South takes a pecu liar interest m her because she is an English woman, who lived some years in Tennessee and began her literary life while residing there. We believe she also married in that State but lives in Washington. She has written some original .and enter taining stories. Spirits Turpentine. Trinity College has 1Q4 stu dents. Mr. John E. W.

WILMINGTON, ' iV. C. Presbyterian: That was a brief Page in , iNorth Carolina history, which our neighbor of the Stab has so ad mirably reviewed! summarized, finished off, labelled and -jfiled away. Brief, yet taking in the immensity of promise and the feebleness of performance, its brevity was its greatest merit , The sad pageant is o'er and seldom is an obituary written so closely to the life. Wel done! good neighbor, well done! ; - Wade8bor Times : Messrs. Rackle, of Atlanta, Ga., who have a quarry of brown stone, are about to open another quarry ... near Wadesboro.They have secured large; contracts for furnishing the Stone in Atlanta where it is being used in quantities for building purposes. It is superseding all others, being of a much better quality thn the New Jersey or Maine stone which is used in such large quantities in all fof the Northern cities. When they get the new quarry in operation they expect to be ible to to .ship from ten to twenty carioadsjl weekly. Shelby Aurora: The citizens of Mooresboro were groused by the alarm of fire at two o'clock Tuesday morning. The new and unfinished McSwain cottage, for merly owned by $t F. Bland, and costing $400, was consumed by fire. Four intoxicated young' men went to a school house, near Alonzo Putnam's, in No. 5 township, .' and damaged the building, smashed the windows and demolished the globe. One of the) parties, Hence Harmon, was hit on the head with a pistol, and in his wrath he turned State's evidence against the trio. He accused two Ayer boys and Joseph Mitcham, of being in the party, for whom warrants w?jre issued. Charlotte f Observer : Charles Connor, a colored ;mai who lives in a cot tage on the gas house premises, was badly burned by his bed catching fire Sunday night. Very I general regret was ex pressed in the city; yesterday over the sad announcement of the death of Miss Lula Phillips, daughtef of Mr. J. S. Phillips, one of our best known citizens. At the Opera House pin this last night, Mrs.' Mary T. Lathrop, of the Women's Christian Temperance Union of Michigan; delivered an address on prohibition, in the presence of a great outpouring of the people. The Opera House was ;filled to its four corners, and crowds stood about the entrance doors. unable to obtain seats but willingly remain ing standing to hear the address through to its close. Mrs. Lathrop is a decided success as a lecturer, having a free, easy, and WHD81 a coasie aaaress. Raleigh iNews- Observer: A perusal of the latest North Carolina papers would probably convince even Mr. Page that there is talentjenough in the State to rebuke a slanderer, at least.

The catalogue of the session 1880-'81 showed 181 students, the highest number ever reached, the average of the two terms being 154. Provided no other students come the catalogue number for the present session will be 179, but the averaga of the two terms is 164, nine above that of 1880-'81. Asheville, N. C, Fab. 8. Maj. W. H.

A case against two overseers of, roads in Harnett township was heard before a Jus tice of the Peace yesterday. They were charged with; failing to make report to the Board of Supervisors, as required by law. After . hearing the case the magistrate dis charged the i defendants, it being shown that no legal notice had been given the overseers by the chairman of the Board; and, also, that the meeting of the Board had not been held in the township, as the law requires. ;. It is a question bow many magistrates are informed pf their duties in connection with the public roads. At the investiga tion of the matter above alluded to there seemed to be considerable misunderstanding concerning their duties in this important particular. The law requires that the jus tices of the peace in each township shall have supervision and control of the public roads in their respective townships, and shall be known as and styled the "Board of Supervisors of Public Roads." They ara required lo meet on the first Satur day of February and August, each year, for the purpose of consulting on the sub ject of the condition of the roads in their townships, and during . the week of their meeting in August, go over and personally examine all the roads in their township. And, annually at their meeting in February they are required to elect one of their number chairman, and at the same meeting to divide the roads of their township into sections and appoint overseers for said sec tions. The overseers are required to make sworn reports at each and every meeting of the Board of Supervisors, and upon fail ure to do so, are liable to arrest, fine and imprisonment The Board of Supervisors is required to make report to the first term of the Supe rior Court of their county after the first Monday in August, of the condition of the public roads of their township, and if the meetings provided for have been held by the board; and upon failure to make report or to discharge any other duty imposed, "shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction thereof shall be fined or im prisoned, or both, in the discretion of the court, and the indictment may be either against the Board of Supervisors or against the individuals composing it as justices of the peace. " The Approaching Execution of Henry Scott. Henry Scott, the negro sentenced to be hanged on the 24th inst., is said to be greatly impressed with the gravity of his situation, and yet to be buoyed up with false hopes of a commutation of sentence: some of the colored ministers who visit him frequently having been active in get ting up petitions for an exercise of clemen cy in his behalf. No preparations for the execution have yet been made. A carpenter yesterday inspected the old gallows used at the last execution ia the jail about two years ago when Allen Mathis paid the death penalty for a murder committed in Pender county. Four-fifths of the colored people do not believe that Mathis was really hanged. They do not understand why the penalty of t he law is executed in private, and the more ignorant blacks be lieve that it is simply intended "to fool people," After Mathis was executed his body was placed in a rough coffin and buried in the paupers' graveyard: that night the grave was opened and the body removed; presumably "for scientific pur poses." Asa matter Of course the burial place was afterwards visited by many col ored people; som'e of whom had doubts about Mathis' body having' really been buried, and to satisfy themselves they opened the grave and found the coffin empty ! To their minds this settled the question Mathis had not been hanged after all; and to this day it's impossible to get them to believe otherwise. With these facts before them, a goodly number of the people of this city think that the execution of Scott should be in public; that such an execution would do more to repress crime, inspire . respect for the majesty of the law and strike terror into the hearts pf evil-doers than a dozen private hangings would. With a more enlightened class, gof course, it would be altogether different and unnecessary. niVER AND JIIARINB.
