AROTHEU BAILBOAD, ;- special ia the Raleigh News Observer, announces that the contract to construct a railroad from Raleigh and Rqfiky Moanthas been perfected. There is a branch road from the latter place to Tarboro, a distance of some eighteen miles,, we think, and there is a road graded from Tarboro . to Willlamston, a distance of some thirty-five miles. The entire distance from Raleigh to Williamsjon is given by the News- Observer at ninety-seven miles! ; There is water comraunica- tion with JNorlolK ana .Baltimore, ana when- the road to Edenton is com pleted passengers can take steamer at Willlamston and ' in a few hoars reach; Edenton and . there take the cars for Norfolk via Elizabeth City.

Nearly every paper from the North we have seen is ' discussing the very remaikable appearance of ; tho ,tky last week; - All through Canada and from Boston to Michigan, the sky had a saffron color or deep orange some parts, howevtr,1; showing a yellow. hue. In Canada the appearance was very beautiful.;; On the.Clh the To ronto ' Globe describes the sceno as follows: . V-; ' ' . . .';. . , - "The orange -deepened and extended as the dav advanced, till at 5 o'clock the hea vens presented the appearance of an orange dome or exiraoraioary uoauij.

It is no It is no wonder that ignorant or superstitious people were moved, and that grave fears of a general break up of the material world were enter tained by many. The strange phc nomenon of the heavens will supply the astronomers with a fruitful topic and many varying explication? will be given no doubt. -; - ;; Give Wilmington three large cot- ton mills and a halt aozen otner manuf aotnring establishments, and there will be such, signs of progress that the wayfaring man cannot mis take therein.1) They would indeed give a tremendous 'bpom" to our city of 18,000. If Wilmington ; will not ; manufacture, then . it has one other recourse if it would growj and prosper. It must open up all possi ble water-ways and have all possible railroad, communication with the fat and flourishing regions beyond. Both of these plans are open to our people. The first is certainly open if men of means so elect. The other is feasible if , the permission of the Buford Clyde concern can be obtained. But why not try both ? OH IO ATLANTA. , : We feel an interest in the proaching Atlanta Exposition cause we think it will - prove of ibe- lm- mease benent to tne douid. yv e - . i TXT " note that the number of visitors ex pected is estimated variously from 100,000 to 1,000,000. We suppose the former number about expresses it. It will be a big' thing if that number of strangers should, visit the great display of Southern industries. Possibly the number may be much greater. But bo this as it may. everything gives promise of a splen did success. Georgia asserts its pre eminence over' its Southern sister hood when it conceives and pushes so rapidly to completion a grand enterprise of the kind.; We doubt if another Southern city, unless it be Louisville, Kentucky, could have un dertaken such a display of Southern productions. The Louisville Courier' Journal sas of the Exposition :' " "Strictly speaking this great enterprise is more than a cotton - exposition, for every branch of industry evidential of Southern progress will be, represented at Atlanta. Cotton, of coarse, as a monarch still en throned, will be the leading feature, bat alt Southern agricultural products will v be abundantly displayed and a revelation of the South's enormous resources will be made, which will have the legitimate effect ot ! drawing capital and immigration and convince thousands of incredulous indi viduals that 'Qod'a country' extends very emphatically to the waters of r the Oulf of Mexico. We are most anxious , that North Carolina shall be represented ' in all of her leading productions 'and most creditablr. . It can be - done, if the right means and agencies are invoked. We see it mentioned that the general regulations of the Philadelphia Cen tennial of 1876 will be i nsed, and that Director General Gorham is' assisting the managers with his advice and ex perience. From the Courier' Journal, which has devoted many columns to an investigation of. the (plansf'and prospects,' we gather the r. following instructive particulars; ;. Xs ' ' ' i ;r i ; "The textilo industries aro , consolidated into two departments crude articles and their products. The manufactures are also subdivided, distinctions being well defined The agricultural products will be properly grouped ana classified: the machinery wil will be most advantageously displayed, and the department for the display and illustra tration of educational systems and methods will be most attractive. : There will? be a fine display of the handiwork of Southern women and no women can excel them in such work and all the industries of South ern homes will, in every respect, be amply exhibited. The exhibits from the North-' ern States will bo very numerous." , . ) . It says the Northern manufactu rers will exhibit their wares; ; because they thus wisb to -advertise .them. We hope tens of thousands oif North ern visitors ' will come and see for tbemselves. : We quote aeain from the Iiouisvllle paper! VAo interesting feature uf the-Exp jsi- tion will be the operation of machinery on cotton, from the work of tho gin on the raw material from the fields to the manufacture of the finest fabrics. .Visitors from the North will bava ani opportunity of follow ing the cotton from the plant to the field to the loom in the factory. . . - ; "We regard the coming Exposition, us a red-letter. event for the South . People who have had vague and misty idea of what ia produced in the South will have their eyes opened to the' wonderful resources of that portion of the Union." -- .' - -' North Carolina must send ber best cotton, tobacco, wheat, rice, &o. ; her fruits and flowers; her entire collect tion ot minerals and woods; the fruit of the loom,the deftly wrought handi work of her daughters, and so on. Shall it bo done ? Then-let us all go and see the big show, for such it will be; . a most jmiemorable and useful and important show. "; Smce we, prepared .the above we are rglad to note m our State ex changes that- in ; certain ' sections ef forts are being made to exhibit min erals, cotton, medicinal roots, , &c Let the matter be pushed. In a short time the Exhibition will open. Let Forth Carolina be there. A BW DBFAaTt'BK. j Tho Government is inclined to new departures' Not content , with con fining' itself . to its recognized legiti mate functions,' it is branching out constantly ' in new directions. i The last attempt is to improve the spell ing of the children of the . country . Some aro advocating Government interference in the education of the negroes, and now we have an effort at spelling reform for all classes. The Government printing office sends out Circulars of Information . of , the Bureau of Education.'', 1 bus V far seven have been distributed. The last aims at reform in orthography. The Commissioner of the Bureau of "Education,. Mr.. John Eaton, in dorses it. We quote from the Com missioner. .. He says : - -. 4- -V lb training our young folk to correct use of good English teachers encounter few embarrassments greater than those arising from anomalies of English spelling. ; Many experiments have been made; not a few attempts at change have failed ; others have been conducted with great skill and learn ing, and have commanded increasing atten tion and approval. More recently some of our most eminent scholars have taken up tne subject, and certain points on which they agree have received very extensive public approbation." , One of the arguments used to au thorize the proposed reform ia that public men notoriously are bad spell ers. It is even affirmed, upon the authority of the Earl of Malmesbury, that "no Prime Minister from. Lord Palmerston to Lord Beaconsfield could have passed an examination in spelling." The truth is, spelling is a gift a natural endowment. That ia to say, some persons are born with an aptitude for spelling just as they are born with an aptitude for music or language. But all can be taught to spell approximately correctly, j That there is a need of reform in spelling is agreed among many European and American scholars. It is very absurd that you cannot tell the pronuncia tion of a word from the spelling, and cannot tell how to spell a word from the pronunciation. Bad spelling orig inates to a very great extent in the difficulties and absurdities of our lan guage. ' It is one of contradictions, and very arbitrary ones at that often. ; ;"Circular No. 1n proposes to reform the spelling of words, derived from foreign tongues., We do not see why words, not so derived, should be ex cluded they are open, as very many are, to the same . changes. But the proposed, reform will prove an abor tion.:' The need of a reform we ao cept ; the manner of reform is another matter altogether. : 15 ; ff The Baltimore Gazette discusses the Circular at length and protests against any 'official indorsement of or of gov ernment respopsibility ' for , such re forms,as the Stab does. We avail our selves of a portion of a paragraph of the Gazette's editoral which refers to the ludicrousness "and absurdity, of the changes proposed by the "Bureau of Education," It Bays: fit is proposed to spell ' above, abuv. ache, ake; adjourn, ad jam ; affront, afrunt; attorney, aiurney; oier.

Without commenting as to the murderous assaults , upon , several , of the .honorable words here quoted, it. is merely necessary to. call the reader's attention to the fact that we now nave bier and beer, bread : and bred; read and red, rhyme and rime, shoe and shoo (shoo-fly), some and sum, sou and sun, thyme and lime, ton and tun, and that they are respectively good words, of different orthography; -and vastly different mean ings.

The Sf Ait h"a8'ubriabe"d"a condenseo! sta'.cmunl.of the controversy tnusiar and. copies of certain letters., -The documents in tho Ualeigh taper of Tuesday' are' th se: '-' First,"" a letter of the Commissioners :of' th? State to the Clyde Syndicate; dated: Augf i; r881, inforniing .that mysitirious body what had been done concerning the Boston- Best Syndicate. A reply from the Clyde' -Syndicate, of the dale of Aug. 25, 1881, "'follows.; Next is a letter from Th 0 ra as J. .Tarvi s, Go v ern or, to A'. S. Buford, the boss of thtf Ricti- rnond & . Dan ville Railroad. Then comes' a; two-column reply from Boss Buford,' written by some lawyer no doubt,' in..' which' the part of injured innocence is very .Well sustained. i 1 deferring to the notification of the Syndicate the News Observer says it was accompanied with a letter from the Governor, in which he said: ' ': ; "Unless the allegatioDs set forth in thi se pa peis prove to be unlrue.or the Cause of com.' plaint is speedily removed, I shall feel it to be my duty to use whatever power the Stale administration possesses' to ous!i the Richmond & Danville Railroad people from the control of any railroad in this Slate in which the Slule has a diiect or contingent interest.'" - p -' :. . ; Probably it was this paHsage that prompted ' Mr, Loge' Harris i' to say in his letter to the New, Xprk: Times, dated .VRaleigh, Sept.. 9," 'that the contract of the Commissioners "binds Jarvts 'as Governor ari"d ' Worth as State Treasurer, to use ail the means in their power to reinstate Mr. Best in 1 possession of the Western North Carolina road, and pledges the use of the militia of the State,' if it becomes necessary, to take forcible possession of that road. This was an alarming piece of information to ' the Rich mond & Danville people." We take it that the matter , will -,be settled by the Courts and not by an appeal to force. We do not anticipate any combinations that can possibly arise that will demand the intervention; of the militia. Mr. Harris's letter is very long, but it is inBtructivo and gives an insight into the railroad controversy it would be hard to find elsewhere. We publish an extract ; from it to-day. Har ris writes as if he felt confident that Jar vis would stand by Best, Senator Vance, and .Treasurer Worth, and would order out the military if neces sary. He says the Railroad would apply I for an injunction to sustain Gov. ; Jaryis, . but thinks it 'would amount to nothing. As we : said . i . . i above, we do not believe that these thiggs will happen. The people have rights and they , will resrtain those who attempt to;yindicate them.. . Let the people see clearly that right is on the side of the Governor and Senator Van oe and there will bo no faltering in the hour of trial. CftlSlK AND LYNCHING. j Four hangings by Judge Lynch in the South within two days. One of these occurred ' in Eectucky. It is not surprising: when we recall the condition of affairs and that a man is not as much in danger of being haugeaby tto Court, of that i'Su for murder as he would be for horse- stealing. People under such a de plorable condition of affairs become restive and tako tne law in their own hands.! This shows that society feels unprotected and that even good citizens otherwise are willing to resort to lawlessness to clean out scoundrels and murderers. ; j We undertook recently to point out the remedy. JStringent laws well executed without tho intervention of the pardoning power, and a higher and truer public sentiment, will cure the growing .! evil. In Kentucky especially the administration of law is a decided failure. The Courier .. . ...... . , ' . . . j " ' . . t Journal says that "crime is not pun ished" and ffthat life and , property are not safe." The result Aa lawless ness on the part of, the people, and they begin to hang without awaiting the processes of the constituted legal tribunals. This is asad slate for any people to be in. : When public senti mentis clarified And enlightened then the laws will 'be .enforced ' rigidly. The Louisville paper says: '' f -' "' " We must nb longer consider murder he roic ;we mast pardon no man who seeks him self to punish)wrong doing thiajis the pro-: vmce ot tne courts. Drunkenness is no ex cuBe for murder, and temporary insanity is usually a most fraudulent pretense. Teach criminals and their lawyers that society has pome rights which they are bound to respect. Hold public servants to a strict accounta bility. Impeach Judges for drunkenness; purify your courts of alt suspicion of com plicity in crimes against the people", j k '' J The juries are rcpponBible Iq a ver great extent for the nullifying of law. In North Cafbliria men are acquitted of the most infernal crimes every year who ought to have swung from. the jibbet. -,; When jurors become intelli gent and conscientious and law-abiding, they will hang rapists and mur derers every time. Every good 'citi zen, whether" white or colored, is inte rested ditectly and personally in. a prompt, fearless, faithful execution of the criminal laws. , Whenever this is done lynching" will cease. Life and propertycan only be safe in commu nities and State.where there are eufli- cient laws, and these laws are execu- ted faithfully, rigidly, inflexibly.
