L , j On Sunday-' morning last, at 3 o'clock,- Hon. Alexander H. Stephens,1 Governor of Georgia, diedj ...He was in his 71st year, we think: V? He was unquestionahly the foremost man in I Georgia, since the death of the late Senator Beni. H. .Hill, and he Has nlleda larger - space m p"aw eye than any other man yet r born in that State. As a leader in the United States Hoaiso of Representatives be- fnrA and Rince the war; as Vice Pre-j sident of the Confederate States; as Governor of Georgia; as an author of able works, historical and political, he was a conspicuous figure int our country. Of singularly delicate .or ganization, he lived to the patriarch al age of three score and ten. ' , , We have not space to comment as we would like to do upon the life and character of this able and eminent Southron; He was long ? in politics, and he died with "absolntely , clean hands and, with r not . the faintest breath of suspicion resting on his un spotted -honor.'. He was a thoroughly honest man, and the Georgians appre riat.ed him. He often voted as h pleased and contrary to. party tests " 7 ;J - and demands, but he ne rer ! confidence ' of his' people. lost tne . . i It is to i their credit that they understood and I appreciated the integrity and worth of the man. ' 1 I We heard Gov. Stephens speak i but once. - During Pierce's Admin t istration we heard him make a speech iin the House, of which he was the I Democratic leader at the time, in ad yocacy of the policy, of that Admin istration. He was replied to by the Whig leader, Henry Winter Davis, I of Maryland. It was very fine speak ing on both sides. ' Mr. Stephens spoke 'with exceeding 'deliberation and wa listened to with 4 marked at tention by every one. Mr. PavisTs i reply was a marvel of extempora-. i nions skill and facility, his language being as finished and elegant as the elaborate orations of practiced rhe toricians. .- . ;:: : !: - I j A great loss has befallen the State of Georgia, the entire South, and the, country at large in- the death of Alexander H. Stephens. . "The man who consecrates his honors By vie'rous effort, and an honest aim, - !At once draws the sting of life and death; Jfe walks 'with, nature; and her paths are L. peace." . . . ir ' SOLD AGAIN. The Richmond ;and Danville Rail road syndicate, the assigns of Best, have triumphed in the Legislature. They have asked for a release from at least a part of the obligations'into which they; entered and they ; have secured it. It looks now as if the people had again been betrayed. The Legislature is endeavoring not to give the Republicans capital in the next campaign, (but they . appear to be steadily doing so. It will be the judgment possibly of the people of North Carolina that' it would have i -v . I ... been better for the State and the Democratic party if this Legislature had never been born. The words of. the witty "lolanthe," to be presented before a Wilmington audience Wed , nesday night, will apply at least to ,;fiome of the Solons: . , j "The House of Peers through the war, 'Did nothing in particular, ; And did it very well. '. . We will not undertake now to pro . nounce judgment upon the work done. If no mischief to the State and to the party shall result from all that has been done,1 then we; shall in deed be glad. After their labors are ended, and the members are safe in their little beds at home resting from their tremendous labors, itmay be in . order to take a survey of the work done and to give the balance sheet. But we are not sanguine of such conclusion of the whole matter a - as shall make all good Democrats glad, and shall give a hopeful presage of a great victory in 1884. ; i r The Raleigh Netcs- Observer says; .

About ten P. M. the cabin began to fill with water, and the crew retreated to the deck; carrying with them .provisions and ;clothng. .. The wind was blowing very strong and cold, a heavy sea was on and the vessel rolled so badly that the crew with difficulty retained their places: At length; about' two . A.

A boat was soon lowered from, lhe Ecuador; and the shivering crew rescued from their perilous position. Captain Riley says that it was' a dangerous ; business' handling a small boat with the sea then running, and he feels very grateful to the 'men 'who so bravely risked their own lives to save those of their fellow seamen. He says that Capt. Abad supplied them with qry clothing and warm food, and did everything in his power to make them comfortable.

V JI - THE I, tSOlSLA TTJHE, ''-" S1 News-Observer's Report.- fr ' V - 'i i f Friday, f March 2. - SJBill tt ameqd tLfe contract qt sab of the State's interest "in the Western North Caro lina Railroad came up as special order. " The question was on .the first amend-rat-ntof the rftmmittee-. ieJiS it -was his desire, as a. jSenateome reasons why. the .majority, of toeSmttto SnaT te conclus on it did: and thatare embodied in-the majority did; and that are embodied in" the majority report He was here to-night to" Bay that ine people ot norm uaroixua wao smuueu with the Bes contract, and to letfi.; stay as it was.. We were asked- to change that contract: and t.h renort of : the committee 1 is a sort of compromise with , amendments 'that do hot materially alter that contract, and' that'-secure the completion of the iioad. . He did hot feel authorized to cross a "t" or dot an "i" of the Best contract; If reauired the building of the joad to Paint j Rock, by July, 1881, it has 'been. built. -v. It also required the building Of 'the road to Murphy by January 1, -0.884.' ;It required the syndicate to ; issue mortgage, bonds and put in the face of those bonds the condition. of that contract. ' and that the' lnortgage should not he foreclosed until the road had been completed to Murphy, and if they did, not complete it they should forfeit the road.. Now that contract was safely guarded, and the people of Notth Carolina could say ?to 'the men whose brain and 'pen dictated that' contract, "you were faithful to your duty.". We should be as careful as public agents as we are as private agents. -He asked how. i js j v.s . .u--i . one was informed that the sentiment with, that peonle then - was ; that,, the Best .contract should not be changed. Is the Governor of North Carolina in favor of bur changing that contract. He' took it for granted the Governor was not: I He read the Governor's message.' r Nowhere had he recommended A any changes of the Best, contract as he has recommended other changes in his mes sage. ; On the Contrary, 'the Governor says he sees no reason why the road cannot be finished- within the ' stipulated time. He then spoke of the Clyde Syndicate as being his-, friends and gentlemen of the highest character. He referred to the Richmond & Danville's,.; syndicate ' crushing out the North ' Carolina ' Midland Road that would baveun; fromDanville to Moores ville, developing the best section '.of North Carolina by buying out the Virginia Mid-, land, thereby putting up Richmond and Danville stock to fabulous figures; but now the syndicate were in a strait and came to us asking relief. . He repeated that the bill which had passed the House gave iio guar-' antees that the road would be built in 1 any direction beyond the Nantahala.' ; The for feiture provided in regard to the extension to Murphy amounted atb the convict la bor only to $7,000, double that, and say $15,000. The syndicate would not care for that. There was no provision requiring the road to ' be extended to ' Marysville. The syndicate would not agree to put in 'the bill that they shall build to. Marysville. iThey might go there if their interest demanded it, otherwise not. We: were ' relinquishing bur 'contract to Have any - road built and without any consideration; It was said that the payment of $600,000, was a considera tion. . Not 60. ' That , was -jn payment of the comnanv's own mortgage bonds, and less than; the - full amount, at that. He called attention ' to the fact that the bill gave U no ' ; security;" for the ; ; protection of i ; the i State against its liability for interest on the Armfleld bonds. That interest was $59,500 a year, . and ; the liability continued for seven years. As pro lection, the bill proposed to deposit the in terest for only year. The Stated liabiUty to payoyer $300,000 was not at all protect ed. How could Senators surrender with- "qut considering fhe protection I which the State now has in this matter, it was 'saia if we did not pass this Mil , the contract would be thrown up. Well, the; property had cost millions to build it.- The State would get it back nearly free from all in cumbrance. The State could mortgage the property for three million of r dollars and finish the work. The syndicate would, un der their contract, be entitled to receive for moneys expended $850,000, but never until the road was finished to Murphy: " But the road would never get back into the hands of the State. , The syndicate Would never part with it, l it was too valuable. There is now pending a suit to take this road off their hands, and they have employed the ablest counsel to prevent itTrohv being ta ken off their hands. -. ; " . f ' Adjourned. - ; ,f .
