C, Oct. 15.The extfinsion of thCape Fear and Yad kin Valley railroad from Fayetteville to Wilmington will bring this and tbe Cape Fear section into closer commercial relations, an. event to which our people look forward wito I lively! interest, as doubtless yoars also do. The time was when Wil mington was the' port of entry for all this section of North Carolina, and the day is not far distant when she will again be. The building of a road from here to High Point to connect them with the road to Randleman, to whioh our people are now directing their energies, will give us a direct route by way of the C. F. and Y. V. road at some point below with Wilmington, and this will also give Wilmington connection with us by two lines, but also with other sec tions penetrated by the extension of the Northwestern to Wilkesboro, the Roanoke and Southern to Roanoke, Va., on both of which work is now vigorously progressing, and the Vir ginia Midland from here to Mocks ville, for the grading of which the contract has been made.- We have a plucky, pushing . people who have faith in the future of the Twin-City, but have not been given to much loud talk, and hence she has not at tracted that particular attention that some other towns have, even within our own borders. Her principal industry is the manufacture of chewing tobacco, in which she has .achieved noted reputa tion, as Durham has'in the line of smoking tobacco. Few . people out side of the town are aware of the fact that there are twenty-two factories now in active operation, which oost in the aggregate for puuaiDg ana outnt not less man million of dollars, and that upward of a million of dollars are annually paid out to farmers for leaf pur chased. These factories employ -i ... r . . i j i 3 . , . aoout iour luousaim uauua wuj receive in wages, in the aggregate about twenty-live thousand dollars week, i . Our '.four warehouses now handle from twelve to fourteen million pounds of leaf annually, ten million of which will be manufactured herd this season. Ten million pounds of manufactured tobacco means a goo i deal of money, and will give sora idea of one of tbe sources of in ' come. It is worthy of note that this co lossal business has grown up within the past fifteen years, starting then in a little county seat, with less than three hundred inhabitants. Its rapid erowtn is due in a great measure to iha 1 nr? n at ru a n H onornrv nf fha mun who invested their money in it.

This has given repa tation and popularity to the plug and twist manufactured here and an an nually increasing demand for it North and South which our manufacturers find it difficult to meet. They have had tbe good sense to keep up the standard and to avoid the mistake that other towns have made which had reputation and trade and lost both by becoming careless or grasp ing and turning out inferior work. Our manufacturers don't intend to do that, and hence they do not enter the field of competition on low grades or work.

On the oivil issue docket only the issnes of fact joined in the plead ings and other matters for, hearing before the Judge at a regular term and memoranda relating to such matters should be entered.

Although a case stated by the Judge be not certified as part of the transcript, yet when it was accepted and acted on at tbe bearing as a part of the record, it cannot afterwards be disregarded.

CURRENT COMMENT. - This is the way the Repabli- 1 can party, during its many years of control, reduced taxation: It abol ished the direct' tax on manufactur ers. It abolished the income tax, on incomes in excess of $1,000 a year. It abolished taxation of railroad corpo rations. It abolished the tax on ex press companies. It abolished the stamp, tax on bank checks. It has abolished all these taxes that fell upon the wealthy and well-to-do. But it has never abolished, it has never reduced to any appreciable ex tent, the taxes that fell upon the poor. Their taxes are still $47.10 on every $100 worth they buy of for eign goods, and an unknown amount on domestic goods. The wealthy have been relieved of more than 100,000,000 Federal taxation, but the poor have not been relieved at all. Boston Globe, Dem. ; 'The issue of tax reform re quires no apology, no hesitation, no ambiguous expression. It is an issue that calls for an earnest and aggress ive advance of its supporters. It is the cause of the people; the cause of equal taxation; the cause. of enlarged industry; tbe cause of increased wages to labor; the cause of indus trial prosperity- and the foe of mo nopoly andoppession.

Mr. Gray, ia the absence of the two . Connecticut Senators, presented and read a memorial of five hundred citizens , of Connecticut, workinameD, wage earners, manufacturers and farmers, in favor of tbe Mills bill and the admission of raw materials (particular ly wool, salt, lumber, tin plates, &c), free of duty. Laid on the table. . The resolution for a recess from next Saturday to the 19th of November, was taken up, and Mr. Paddock moved an amendment, by making the recess begin on the 27th inst. and end on the 12th of November. Mr. Allison 6aidthat he had consulted Senators on both sides of the chamber, and thought that the prevailing opinion was in favor of adjournment'until the fires Monday in December. He understood that the Senator from Georgia (Brown), would offer a resolution to that effect, and, if so, he (Allison) would support it. ' Mr. Brown offered a resolution for the final adjournment of this session . at 1 o'clock next Saturday. He said he did not believe that the passage of the tariff bill would be facilitated by a prolongation of tbe session. . If the Democrats were suc cessful at the coming Presidential election something like the Mills bill would be passed, and if the Republicans were suc cessful something like the Senate bill would be passed. Popular opinion on the subject would be known after the election. ! Mr. Evarts spoke in favor of Mr. Brown's resolution, and Mr. Paddock ia favor of tbe amendment offered by him. Mr. Cockrell ridiculed a remark by Mr. Paddock, to the effect that he and his peo ple desired the passage of the Senate bill. Tbat claim, he said, was perfectly farcical. K the Republican Senators wanted to pas the bill before the election the Democratic Senators would stay with them, but it was a farce to undertake it, and the Senator from Nebraska knew it. i Mr. Paddock said that the primary trou ble about the matter was that there had not been a quorum in the House for six weeks. Mr. Cockrell That does not make a par ticle of difference. The House has nothing to do with the bill now. When the Senate passes this bill there will be a quorum of the House to act on it. It ia the Republi can Senate that has to do with ii. j The presiding officer intimated that Mr. Cockrell was not in order.and expressed the hope tbat Senators would cooperate with him in maintaining order. Mr. Cockell We will do it; we will help you. (Laughter.) Do not (to Mr. Paddock), trouble yourself about the House; the House wiil take care of itself. Take care of the Senate; here is your re jsponsibiiity. . ' I After some further discussion between Senators Cockrell, Paddock and Aldricb, Mr. AUllson said he would accept the amendment offered by Mr. Brown. : A majority of the Democrats voted in the affirmative, while a majority of the Re publicans voted no. There was no demand for a division, and the Chair, after a longer pause than uBual, declured the concurrent resolution adopted. - Mr. Teller offered a resolution instruct ing the Committee on Indian Affairs to in quire as to the truth of the report that the Secretary of tbe Interior bad purchased a vice that were manufactured with prleon large number of wagons tor tne maian ser- labor in the State of Tennessee On objection by Mr. Cockrell the resolu tion went over until to-morrow, and the Senate took a recess for half an hour. At the close.of the recess (2 50 p m.) the Senate resumed its sesiioD, and passed the various joint resolutions for tbe printing of the agricultural report (400,000 copies) and Other documents. Messrs. Edmunds, Dawes and Faulkner wereappoimed on the joint select committee to investigate tbe work on the Washington aqueduct tunnel. Tbe Senate then resumed consideration of the tariff bill, and was addressed by Mr. Aldricb, one of tbe members of the Finance Committee He proceeded to illustrate by reference to the official statement of the Bureau of 3:atistlcs, tbe utter worth lessness and absurdity of an attempt to show the character of the House bill, and of tbe Senate bill, by tbe system cf ad va lorem rates and per cental. The statement from the Bureau of Statistics was, he said, not only misleading in its general feature, but it was entirely inaccurate and mislead ing in its details; and the Bureau offloials. (if they had any knowledge whatever on the subject), must have known that i was. Mr. Cockrell replied to Mr. Aldrich's criticism of the tables of the Bureau of Statistics, and claimed that they were per fectly correct, and said that they had been made out (under headings prepared by him self), by Mr. Keppcratein, a Prussian em ploye of that Bureau, who had been in the department at least since 1870. and who had no interest, directly or indirectly, in any misrepresentation At the close of the discussion the House joict resolution to pay sessional employes cf both Houses their full monih'a salary for Onio'jer, and to pay a month's salary of the' r.tiuiar offlctTi acd employes on tbe 20 b of October, were severally patsed.

After prayer by the chaplain, Mr. Fr- qubar, of New York, rose and called the Chair's attention to Rule 1 of the House, which directs the Speaker to cause the Journal to be read on tbe appearance of a quorum. He was unwilling that ctrlain membeis should absent them selves. while others, like himself. had remained here, since December. There had been one or two motions to adjourn. wnicn bad been treated somewhat:- cap tiously, and it was time tbat the Bouse should come to some reasonable arrange ment as to wtsetner members should be par ties to a political game, or whether they should adjourn property and in ordtr.

Mr. McMilleo, of Tennessee, briefly reviewed tne work of what he termed the present extraordinary session of Con grrss, devoting himself especially to a con sideration of the action ou the tariff.

More doing in wheat to-day, but the trading was decidedly 1 cal and the market strong. The unexpected again happened to-day. Operators bad gone home yesterday prepared for a break to prices to-day, but instead a sharp rilly occurred. Immediately from the start a good demand existed, and although there was some trading at Jo below yesterday's closing, prices repooded to the demand and advanced with some fluctuations 4Jc for December aud 2c for May. Buying was apparently confined principally to Decem ber, which accounted for that future being csriied 2Je over May. The sSots natu rally started to cover, and the price was helped along no doubt by othtr buying Tb market held up well to the advance, and tbe closing was 3c higher for Decem ber and lie higher for May than the closing figures of yesterday., j Speculative trading in corn was oa a lim ited scale, the market ruling quiet and in active the entire session. Theie was very little if any outside business of consequence transacted, and local operators were aot disposed to trade to any extent among themselves .. The market, on the whole, was quite featureless, and ruled more quiet than for sometime past. The opening Wai about tbe same as the closing prices of yes terday, after which it ruled dull and neg lected, and closed lie better than yesterday. Oats were almost entirely neglected, with co fluctuations worth mentioning. Buyers of mess pork took bold faiily at the opening Offerings were email and tbe feeling rather bullish. The interest centred in January, and first sales were at a 7c ad vance, sold up 2Jc, declined 12?, rallied 41c, reacted, and closed steady at a small advance over yesterday. Lard was quiet and steady, with no particular purpose to buy or sell. In short rib sides the bulk of interest centred in January, but trading oniy reached a moderate volume. A. steady fi tting prevailed, and prices tule;! slealy. . . as a ; . Public Speaking. Hon. Charles M.
