There being no further business for the consideration of tbe grand jury, they were discharged after submitting their report as follows: Hon. O. P. Meares : Sir The grand jury for this term of court beg to state that we have disposed of the business before us. We found 28 true bills and 5 not true bills. We visited the jail and its surround ings and found everything neat and in order and the prisoners well cared for, both in jood and bedding. Tbe County riome was also visited by a committee who found the new superintendent, Mr. S. H. Terry, had just taken charge of tbe institution the day before. The buildings wr found in good order and no unusual complaints were heard. We found two classes ot patrons, some of . whom once had means of their own and ihouid in our ludgment be better supplied with necessary conveniences in their rooms. We are assured by the superintendent that he would remedy this immedi ately. J There are some unfortunate ones there who should be sent to the asylums of tbe State as early ss practicable. ( We also find carelessness as to the care of the property of this institution, .viz: Several keys missing to the differ ent locks doors broken : into; to get some of tbe necessities.

The blankets and dry goods just bought to be used are of very good ma terial; also the food for tbe inmates.

Although the market has . improved slightly during the past week, it has not gained in activity and the support which haa brought about this slight improve ment has come from Manchester where business appears to be active under the demand lrom South America and the East. The returns which were furnished by the English Board of Trade as to the exports; of cotton goods from Great Britain for the year ending the first of January, are remarkable in showing that dnrieg the past season, the exports of yarns and cloths together exceed the ex ports of any previous year. During 1890, under the influence of a short crop of cotton, and an advance in the price of silver, which was supposed to stimulate activity in trade, the exports were 6 per cent, less than they were during the past year. - When it is considered that trade with the United States from Manchester has been practically at a standstill, these fig ures enable us to arrive at some idea of tbe enormous volume of trade in Man chester during the past season. One of the greatest arguments in favor of free silver as affecting the cotton producer has been, that it would increase the trade with those portions of the world which are not already upon a gold standard. But the fact that the cotton manufac turers of Europe are doing the largest business on record, with silver below 28d. would seem to sustain bur idea that the price of silver has absolutely nothing to do with the volume of business in the other portions of the world. If more 1 business can be done with silver at 28d. and the consumption of cotton larger than it is with silver at 54d. it would seem that the question of silver would cease to be a factor: -in the cotton trade. In the meantime we are facing a large movement of the crop, which cer tainly is expected to reach 9,000.000 bales, and the market is sustained by the small investment fcuywg which is con tinually present and absorbs receipts as they appear. It had been expected by the trade that the movement during the month of January would compare so un favorably with that during the large crop year that it would cause a decline in prices, but it has not as yet brought about such a depression , and tbe trade therefore are nonplussed at the failure of tbe expc cted to occur. They now look forward to a decline when receipts tall off on the idea that the maiket hav ing been sustained during the time of heavy movement, when the movement becomes light the liquidations will bring about a decline in prices. Preparations for tbe new crop have not yet commenced, although the ques tion of acreage is now receiving serious consideration' throughout the entire South, and it is believed that the low price ot cotton must lead to a serious reduction through the necessity of adopting some other methods of culti vating large plantations. It is evident that at these prices there is not a living to be made from raising cotton which will support the negro and the white man upon the same land. In other words, it is the land question of Ireland over again, namely, that the land cannot pay a rent and at the same time support the laborers. If those who own planta tions are willing to work in the fields themselves without paying for labor, they undoubtedly could raise cotton at present prices; but if any money is to be expended, either in pre paring, cultivating or gathering, the crop of cotton has ceased to return the amount of money which is necessary to nvest in growing it. The increase in the demand from the English spinners is accepted as indication that business in Manchester is expected to continue good for a long time to come, and shows plainly that the Southern planter has the question of the value ot his crop entirely within his own control. A moderate crop of cotton this year would advance the price materially, as consumption has certainly risen to eight and a half million bales of Ameri can cotton, and has driven the Indian cotton from the fields. A reduction in acreage is. in our . opinion, therefore, certain. Tbe extent can only be deter mined by the inability of the Southern planter to borrow money. What the effect of this reduction in acreage will be upon prices is of course ss yet un known. Tne enect in the past Has been to materially advance tbe market. OPERA HOUSE. Mrs. J, B. Potter and Mr. Eyrie Bellewin "Charlotte Corday." The engagement of Mrs. Potter and Mr. Bellew, presenting the four-act play entitled "Charlotte Corday" at the Opera House last night, was an entertaining oc casiom for a large number of the most cultured theatre-goers of this city. The play is an interesting one, and begins with the actions of "Charlotte Corday," in Caen. France, shortly after the execution of Louis XVI. and a num ber of those fearful massacres of aristo crats which won for the "Red Revolu tion" its more familiar name of "Reign of Terror." ...... The reputations of Mrs. Potter and Mr. Bellew are almost universal, and the pleasure they afforded their patrons last night will doubtless long be remembered by all present. The support was mostly good, and Misses Hudspeth.Lowell and Ward, and Messrs. Clarges,.Chanfrau and Bawtree all showed themselves to be artists in their line. The assassination scene in the third act where Charlotte, stabs Muratwaa unusually cood and the audience were vehement in their applaus The closing scene in tbe prison cell. just before leading Charlotte oft to be be headed, and the parting of father, daughter, sister and lover was a sad and aitecting picture to tne aireaay sympa thetic audience. Everything I Cheap. The sale of the personal property re cently assigned by Mr. R. R.

Good mules were sold as low as $25., Corn on the plantation on tbe Anson side of the river brought from 80 to 40 cents a bushel; on the Richmond side it only brought from 29 to 81 cents a busheL Oats sold for 25 cents and. hogs at 8 cents gross. Mr. Little's fine stallion, which was bought by two Wadesboro gentlemen, only brought $129. New Uniforms. The conductors ot the Carolina Cen tral R. R. were presented yesterday with new uniforms by tbe company; double- breasted coats of the latest style, and bell-top caps with curved rims. GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

The first spirited debate of the session to-day was on the resolution ofPeebles,inquiring why the Committee on Elections set a time to hear contested cases before legally constituted. Messrs. Peebles Evarts. Lusk. McCIammy and others participated. The Democrats com pletely overthrew tbe opposition, and their Questions drove the chairman out of the hall. At a meeting of the com mittee to-night they virtually receded from their position. senatorial. As the Republican caucus meets to morrow night there is much manceuver- ing going on. A prominent Republican tells me Mott has withdrawn. They are making great efforts to get together. The fight is narrowing down to Pritchard and Holton, but Pritchard still leads. Dockery, it is said, will goto Holton, yet Boyd has been stirring all night, By Southern Associated Press. Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 11. The main feature of tbe Senatorial situation to-day is the meeting of tbe Republican caucus set for to-morrow night. The meaning of it is said to be a play by Pritchard against Settle, Holton, Ewart, Boyd and the rest. Ewart is chairman of the Com mittee on Privileges and Elections, and Settle is attorney for many of the contestants. There are seventeen cases, and it is thought by some that the seating of the contestants will make them lean to ward tbe anti-Pritchard combination. Mr. Pritcbard's friends having caught wind of thistgot the caucus called for to-morrow night, for the purpose ot choosing the candidate for tbe short- term Senatorship. Moreover, the crys talization against Mr. Pritchard seems to be taking more solid shape, and high times are looked for at tbe caucus. -Tbe House to-day precipitated a warm debate on contested election cases, some of which, the Democrats claimed, had improperly gone to the committee with out the formalities ot a memorial. The rest of the oroceedines were of a local nature. The Senate took the power of arjoointinc committees away from the Lieutenant-Governor with only six Dem ocratic members, which by the Demo crats is criticised as high-handed.

THE CAPE Tlocd at Fayetteville People Driven From Their Honaea Bridge Carried Awy Ore it Damage to Property Wash outs on Bailroad. The recent snow Btorms in the West ern and Central parts of North Carolina and the heavy rams that followed have caused a rapid rise of the waters in all streams and rivers, causing great dam age at many places. The Weather Bureau's synopsis is sued yesterday morning from the Wil mington station said: "Tbe freshet in the Cape Fear river is even more ex tensive than was at first anticipated; the gauge at Fayetteville this morning read fifty-two feet; a rise of fifteen feet in twenty-four hours, and still rising. This is only a few feet lower than tbe highest record there." f There were rumors during tbe day that the county bridge over the river at Fayetteville had been swept away by tbe flood, but passengers who arrived by the'C. F. & Y. V. R. R. last evening reported that the county bridge was in tact) when the train passed there; but the water was only foot below the Sherman freshet" in 1865, and was still rising. It was thought that tbe bridge would not be damaged. A special despatch to the Star last night from Fayetteville, said: "The greatest freshet ; that has been known since the Sherman freshet in 1865 is now doing lots of damage in this county.
