RALEIGH; N. 0..
Ye Local in Trouble. In our yes
terday's issue we had occasion to use
the following local items nnder our
head of of "briefs."
"Chapin's Escape" is "what's the
matter with Ilanner." (This is another
goak known only to a few.)"
"There are four John W.'s sitting' in
close proximity in the State Seriate1, viz:
Messrs. Cunningham, Dunham, Nor
wood and Ellis. It 13 said by some that
they are the finest looking men in the
Senate. Wish our conscience could let
us say so too."
At 10 o'clock vesterday morning our
sanctum was infaded by a fierce look
ing member of the House, with a coun
tenance more in pity than anger, who
handed U3 the lollowing communica
tion :
Raleigh, N. C. Jan., 17th, 1873.
Capt. E. C. Woodson
Sir : I cannot allow the article in
your local column of this morning con
cerning the disabilities imposed by one
"Chapin's Escape" to pass unnoticed
and.for your wanton breach of the "code
honorable" in that regard, I do deliber
ately challenge ou to mortal combat"
with a "quart tickler" of said Escape at
your convenience.
Signed,
"Tns Old Lady Herself."
We replied to the "old lady" as fol
lows :.
My friend Mr. G is authorized
and instructed to accent the terma
offered in your note, at the earliest prac
tical moment. Should the
ever occur in the night time, he is.
instructed to use a certain box of Harnet t.
county "cracklins" to give the necessary
light lor the occasion.
.Respectfully, &c.
We had no sooner disnnspd nf thia
" diffikil" than we were waited unon
by still a fiercer lookinsr man. with a
countenance more expressed in anger
than sorrow, who handed us the follow
ing note :
Yarborougii House,
Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 17. 1873.
Capt. E. C. Woodson,
Sir: I see from the News of thia
morning, that you have made some pub
lie statements, doinsr great iniustir.n to
the personal appearance of certain dis
tinguished Senators. As a friend to
the gentlemen alluded to. I demand a
retraxit, or that you give that satisfac
tion due from one gentleman to another.
vvna nigh regards,
. John W. Smith.
N. B. I desire to ask who ronat.itn-
ted you a judge of " oersonuel ." unless
you presume upon your own pulchri
tude, and also by what authority you
wear your cravat with the bow to one
aiae unless you answer this accord
ing to the Code, you may expect to
have other John W.'s after you.
J. W. S.
We read this communication over thp
second time. We did not know Smith
exactly, and yet the name seemed some
wnat laminar to us ; in Inez we were
decidedly of the opinion that we had
1 1 A t f
nearo. me name oeiore. We answered
his communication at once, and smt 'if.
by the fierce looking man :
JOHN W. smith, Esq::
Sir You must be mistaken, in your
man. I cannot conscientious! v claim
the title of a gentleman, and never nro-
fessed to be one. In regard to your N.
B., I will "rise to explain." All the
John W.'s have doubtless observed rhnt
I wear the style of collar known as the
uarroie, ana my narrow black cravat is
my time piece. At 8 o'clock A.M.,
(the hour I rise.-) I Din the cravat to" thp.
collar; at 9, the pin is gone; at 10, the
bow of the cravat which started in front
completes the evolution of a quarter's
distance to . the rear ; at 11, it is half
way round : at 12. it is three Quarters
and so on. makinir acomdete circuit hv
my dinner hour, 3 o'clock. It thi3 is
not satisfactory, address your next com
munication to mv friend Carter. Assis
tant Doorkeeper of the House, "who is a
gentleman, and will doubtless render
you the satisf ictioh you desire.
Yours, &C.
We felt easv as we handed tho com
munication to the fierce man, and while
we were indulging in the pleasant med
itation of how we had disposed of the
troubles that crowded thick and fast
upon us, a man more fierce than all the
rest, ana whose countenance well, he
was awfal madi threw udou our table
still another communication, and imme-
aiately, lelt the room ; we were rlad of
it. It read :
Senate Chamber, Jan. 17th, 1873.
Srn: The Junior "John W Ur.,rU
leave to suggest that "ye local's" refusal
to acquiesce in the opinion held as to
the pulchritude of the "John W." quar-.
tette, arises not from a scruple ot con
science, in which article the aforesaid
local is notoriously and lamentably de
ficient, but from an innate aversion had,
and always manifested by said local, to
a commodity known as
Truth.
This man bcinir an entire stranerer to
us, we did not deign to reply. We do
not recognize him, from the fact that
any.asscciation or recognition with such
1 -1
a man wouia prove actnnicmai to our
business.
We are glud to state that at the pres-.
ent writing, the coast is clear, and there
is yet a chance left for us to die a natu
ral death.
Superior Court. The Court met at
10 o'clock. Criminal decket resumed.

Farrar, affray. Defendants submitted.

fined $5 and costs.
State vs William Chavis" and George
Curtis, murder. General Cox and F. 1L
Busbeejbr the State and Judge Fowle
and Gecrge II. Snow lor the defendants.
The entire day was consumed in the
examination of witnesses. By agree
ment of counsel, argument was waived.
The Judge delived a brief but elaborate
charge, and the case given to the. jury.
Verdict not guilty.
The contest over the office of Super
intendent of Public Instruction is excit
ing much interest. We don't intqnd to
lerLouisiana and Arkansas go ahead of
us in everything.
SATURDAY MORNING,
TnEO N. Ramsay, Esq. This far
famed and well known catnip tea ad
vocate has just returned from a very
dry sojourn in New York and Washing
ton. He is eloquent in his descrip
tive conversations of what he saw and
heard, but prides himself mostly upon
having interviewed President Grant
and having caught a glimse of the
charming Miss Nellie. Mr. Ramsay
i3 an earnest and zealous temperance
man, but lacks tact as much as he de
spises whiskey. The idea of any one
seeking to interest GrantJ in an anti
whisky movement 1 Mr. - Ramsay's
great modesty prevents him from edi
fying his innumerable friends by Re
tailing the full particulars of his distin
quished reception by Rev. IL Ward
Beechcr, Woodhull anck Claflin, Susan
Ant'.iony, Jay Gould and the other ce
lebrities of the great city. If Mr. Ram
say's visit did not exactly amount to an
ovation, it Was certainly a success, and
we congratulate not only him upon its
conclusion, but the entire community.
The knowing ones here are confident
and emphatic in their assertions that
we may soon look for a change in the
policy of the administration towards
the habitual imbibers. It may be so.
but we doubt it. If it comes, wTe are
prepared for the worst.
The New Hotel at Halifax.
The Roanoke News thus speaks of the
" Southern Hotel '.' which has just been
completed at Halifax, that will add
greatly to the appearance and general
convenience of that town :
" We learn that the new Hotel, at
Halifax, is completed and ready for
occupancy. It is finished with a special
view to comfort, convenience, elegance
and safety, and no better chance tor a
profitable investment, by a competent
hotelist, is, or can bej offered anywhere.
We rejoice always at the prosperity of
our neighbors, and more particularly do
we in the case of Halifax, which, with
its age, eligible location and enterpris
ingi go ahead citizens, should only be
second to the cities of our State. "
Kerr Craige, Esq. We heartily
indorse the following compliment to
this young member of the House, taken
from the last number of the Salisbury
Watchman :
"Kerr Craige, Esq. We are glad
to see that this young man is taking
that position in the Legislature to wbioh
his talents, industry and irreproachable
character entitle him. He is perhaps
one of the" youngest members in the
House, yet he has but few superiors in
the possession of those qualities that
are essential in the make up of an effi
cient and acceptable representative."
Unintentional. Our special Ball
room reporter in his account ot the
Tucker Hall Ball, stated that the supper
was gotten up by Mrs. Sorrell, uninten
tionally neglecting to state that the Ice
Cream was furnished by Mr. Moseley,
the well known Fayette ville street con
fectioner.
Justice's Court. Andy Jones, col.,
arrested by officer Farris upon a" peace
warrant, was brought before Justice
Wicker, and bound over in the sum of
$200 to keep the peace towards Peter
Rogers and the balance of mankind,
until the next term of Wake Superior
Court.
Mayor's. Court. Burwell Perry,
arrested upon a requisition from the
Governor of Tennessee for stealing in
that Stato a bale of cotton, wa3
brought before the Mayor as J. P., and
in default ot $1000 bail, sent on to the
Superior Court. ,
A Lively Nuisance. Street beg
ging is becoming more prevalent than
at any other period in the history of
our city, and we really think that some
mean3 should be adopted to abate the
nuisance.
Fire. The alarm this morning, at
half-past one.was caused by the burning
out of a flue of the Capitol. Slight loss
to the State. Firemen on hand.
