A STRIKING ILIiUSTltATiyE POINT We find in the Jijxamin&f s report of Judge : Bennett's speecb at Fav- PTille; a pplpt concerning gounty; government ;thatis too : good to be oyerlooke; y Ifc-f llWstrates: dnalra-s bly'the working of :, tbat system that ipeKery ia bo., anxious ; 10 nave put upon the people of.

Judge Bennett said ;.; : "What have tbie Republican party in the Congress of the United States .done for the District of, Columbia ? According to the census, the district. had about. 3,000 white votes and about 43,000 colored votes At the session , of 1868-'69,; the ( Republicans in Congress had passed an act turning over the District to the government of the peo ple living in it. This wdal jusl the locago vemment advocated now in' North Carolina. What was the result ? The colored voter of the District united with the worst of the ' white element, and in less than two years, owing to official promsacy and mismanage ment the moneyed obligations of the Dis trict were worth only, forty-three cents on the dollar. What followed ? ; Finding that this local self-government . did, not work well the Republican party repealed the act giving up the government of the District to the voters, and to-day It is governed, by officers appointed by the President of the : United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate! -Show your faith by your works."" - 1 ;Xt ' We. thank Judge ."

Green made a short but felicitous speech, that was attentively listened to and greatly liked. He said he was proud to represent the Democracy of such a District, for in point of intelligence it had no supe rior inside or" outside of North Carolina. He felt it especially an honor since there were so many able men in the District. He wisned tnat he bad tne persuasive powers of a 'Vance a Ransom, a Jarvis or a Waddell, but notwithstanding he would do his duty from this day to the day of 'elec tion as best he could. . He discussed the history of our government, 'the terrible effects of negro supremacy over, ten South ern States of 1 free-born' white men. " He discussed the fraud and corruption of the Republican party, and. their brazen effron tery in asking to be put back ia power after their previous career. :. Freedom, he said, was the-' greatest boon ever acquired by mortal man-dead men may be restored to'life again, but dead liberty never f He urged thorn to work hard for the Demo cracy, to put on brakes in time and to take. charge for themselves,, for there is an excess of eighty thousand majority andan-nbso- uTe certH3s--vlCTfrr we .will ci grasp it. Col. Green said be wouldn t make a long speech, that this was only an intro duction to the people of Brunswick, with whom he hoped to become better acquainted hereafter. This was the Colonel's first effort in this section, and he made an impression that was very gratifying, winning many friends and earning the eafeem of all hearers.

'j I ' i The1 Renublicafiv. members of the Senate 'discussed the subiectof continufirff-tlie con sideration of the tax bill. . , With a few diS'- senting expressions the opinion prevaDed that Gohgress should not adjourn' without adopting in some form a bill to relieve the people . from the present burdens of taxa tion. 1 Several Senators - urged the impor- rtance of passing the knit goods bill, ' and it was stated that vast interests would be sac-' rificed-j if the bill should ' r' be-; allowed to er over until December: .. On. the I other hand, it was urged that should the' tax bill be laid aside for the knit goods bill, the Democrats would, insist upon an un limited discussion, and would weigh down the bill with all of the amendments that have been offered to the tax bill, , and that to insist upon action on either' bill would result in a protracted party strife and an indefinite prolongation of the. session. While the Senators are reticent as ' to' the ultimate decision of the caucus, it is pretty generally understood that practically , a unanimous decision was reached to press the tax hill to a vote, and if possible secure a vpte without the amendments upon' the. knit" goods pill, y This decision, if adhered ' to, will postpone perhaps indefinitely any ac-; . . . i T-r , .
