Legislatures may be slow in forward
ing the work ot emigration, and monied
citizens may stand back and wait for
tide or time to send capital and muscle
into the State ; but Parham and Mc
Cullura, instead of praying to Hercule3
to help them, have put their own shoul
der to the wheel, and have already
rolled into Henderson a number of
families who are now cultivating the
soil, and buying their supplies from the
business men ol this interesting town.
And, by. the way, they .have here the
right. kind of business men. I would
like to speak of them individually, but
cannot do so at present. Suffice it to
say, that Henderson is flourishing.- Her
waste places are being built up and
variously improved,: and the air about
town is encouraging in a high degree.
Kittrells' Hotel, deserves the patronage
of the travelling public. It could not
be otherwise, under the management of
the Simon W., from whom the House
assumes the name it so happily enjoys.
I have conversed with the emi
grants who . have located here. They
are all pleased with the lands,
and all express their gratitude for
the Land Agentsj Parham & McCallum,
who have been instrumental in bringing
them here from Canada and the North
ern States. These emigrants are loud
in their praises of the North Carolina
climate. A genuine lad of the Emerald
Isle declares that this climate comes
nearer to that of Ireland than any other
he has discovered. When you consider
how the Irishman loves his home, could
any tongue confer more praise of the
climate and soil.ot'this Old North State.
"The savage loves his native shore,
Though rude the soli and chill the air ;
Then well may Erin's sons adore,
The Isle which nature forms so fair."
I am staying at present with an En
glish Catholic family. These people
are also delighted with North Carolina.
The father came to America 40 years
ago, settled in Pennsylvania, returned
home to old England, came out again
and located himself hear Boston. He
did not like it. He went into Canada,
bought a farm, lived there many years,
got tired and disgusted with the length
and seventy of the winter, and here we
have the -fine old gentleman, with his
grown family, and all perfectly con
tented with the climate, soil and popu
lation of our magnificent State. Let
them come. Let them know the advan
tages we offer them. Give them cheap
lands, cheap Railroad travel, a kind
word, a warm heart, and then our "old
fields" will be no longer a reproach to
the husbandry and enterprise of our
people. I am on the wing. I go down
the road by next train, and caqnot make
this epistle any longer. There is much
to interest me here, but I am

Legislative. The Senate yesterday
wa3 engaged, all day in the considera
tion of the Constitutional amendments..
Messrs. Cunningham, Todd and Worth,
each, delivered speeches favoring the
amendments in whole, and Mr. Respess
iripart. By reference to our proceed
ings "ihe vote'and the passage of the first
six amendments can be seen.
In the House, the bill to repeal the
general incorporation act, and the bill
to give each soldier disabled in the late
war $50, were the topics, of interest.
Both, after a lengthy debate were re
committed to the Judiciary Committee,
from whence they were reported. For
the details ofthe proceedings the reader
is referred to the reportorial columns.
A Novel Proceeding. Yesterday,
Deputy U. S. Marshal Clark received
from the Clerk of the Western North
Carolin&Diyirict Court, a Subpoena for
John StVoriacti, directing him to serve
at once and return prece'pt by return
mail. The only John Stronach to be
found in Wake county was an infant
ton of W. C. Stronach.who was born just
one month after the Judge .gave the
order for the Subpoena, but the Deputy
Marshal had no instructions as to the
age of the person upon whom the Sub
poena was to be served, and consequently
obeyed the letter of the law by leaving
the precept at the abode of the person
to whom it was directed.-
Postponed.4- In consequence of the
inclement weather yesterday, the sale of
the old Fair Ground lots, which should
have occurred yesterday, has been post
poned until Monday next at 11 o'clock
a. m. Persons wanting good lots for
present or future use should make;
note of this.

Remarks of Mr. Cunningham, of
Person, in the Senate on the bill
for the Establishment of the
Connty ol Gilliam.
Mr. President : I desire to offer as
briefly as possible, my reasons for op
posing the bill before us, reasons which
I cannot but hope will have some influ
ence on others.
The creation and organization of new
counties are attended with heavy expen
ses; new county buildings are, to be
erected, the township system re-arranged
in the old counties concerned,
and formed entire in the new, and ad
ditional offices created and provided
for.
These are heavy burdens, at all times,
to those concerned, but to a people
impoverished and discouraged as ours
are just now, they are almost intolera
ble. This work of forming new counties
is also attended with more or less con
fusion, and if there ever was a time in a
people's history when it was important
to prevent new complications in their
municipal system, we are in that crisis
Our reconstruction policy attempted
a total revolution m the habits ot a
state of old civilization and pewcrs ot
self government, and with this utter
wiping out of long established usages
and the inauguration of systems entirely
novel, comes the necessity ot reviving
our ruined credit, of re-invigorating al
the formative influences of society.
e are in a transition state we are
passing from one form of civilization to
another, and at the same time trying to
rise, also, from the prostration caused by
the results of recent history.
Our condition is chaotic at best we
don't yet understand what sort of body
politic we are, and most of us are dread
fully bothered to get the run of it

great deal of interest, and upon which

be charged, as it wa3 charged by mem
bers of your honorable body on a tormer

what appeared to me, legitimate sug
gestions with regard to our public debt,
that I manifested a desire to usurp

By Mr. Waugh, a resolution of in
struction to the i; inance Committee in
regard to the taxes of Wayne county
Calendar
By Mr. Bennett, a bill to extend the
part and retain that part which is
acknowledged to be good ? He could
not agree to the policy of this sweeping
act of repeal.
Mr. Bennett was opposed to the 45th
section of the original act which requires
the pre-payment of a tax of $25. He
thought it contravened the spirit of the
constitution, &c.
Mr. Houston would readily agree that
the people had a right to have their
greivances addressed without price,
hindcrance, &c., but the tax upon cor
porations provided for in this law was
placed on a franchise, the obtaining of
which would only inure to the benefit
of a few in a special neighborhood &c.
Mr. Bowman was in favor of the
repeal. The law had been scrutinized ;
by able lawyers, and its provisions
found to be contradictory, &c.
Mr. Johnston would favor the post
ponement. Ho did not think it a
hardship 'upon these corporations
to pay $25 lor being corporated
and exercising certain franchises which
operated towards their own personal
benefit. He would readily join gentle
men in curing any defects in the exist
ing lay which experience might point
out. '
Mr. Moss would vote for indefinite
postponement. If - the object was to
ecp private legislation out of the' Gen-
eral Assembly as much as possible, why
not increase the .tax here rand cheapen
it materially in the Courts?

was put to a vote and rejected by a vote

Dear "Ole Locality," (alias) Wood

In your youthful days of pleasure,
When life all seemed sweet as peaches ;
You have doubtless danced a measure,
To the tune pi "Leather Breeches."
Having lately stumbled on the an
cient ballad', and having just seen the
beautiful and stimulating verses on
kissing, published at the instance of
Senatorial Batchelordom, I have taken
the liberty of transcribing the old
timey ditty, with its seasonable, advice,
and forwarding it for the benefit oi
yourself and your Benedict friends,
whether in or out of the Legislature.
It is only as a relic of other days, and
to show what our fathers thought upon
the subject, that it is submitted, and not
by any means as an artistic gem, or as a
subject for journalistic criticism.

embodied in this bill many alterations
that the people desired, and for those he
expected to vote for; others that the
people did cot want, he would vote
against, t hey were now proposed in a
legal form and he would support them
as above. He referred to those he was
in favor of and also those he opposed,
among the latter was the bill changing
the Judiciary system. He was opposed
to courts and especially lawyers, using
the Biblical quotation which says
"Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees,
that bring burdens on the people, &c,
&c." Here he was interrupted by Mr.
Grandy, who reminded the Senator
that another passage said W oe unto

Removal of Gov. Graham's Dis
abilities. We are gratified to state
that the United States Senate has con
curred in the House Bill, removing the
disabilities of . Ex-Governor William A.
firhfim: of this State. The bill had
been referred to a special Committee,
-but was called up by benatoi Ransom
on Wednesday the 5th inst., and passed
the Senate by a two-thirds vote.
We rejoice at the consummation of
this tardy act of justice, and we con
gratulate the people of North Carolina
that one of their best, purest, ablest
statesmen has at last had the political
shackles stricken from his limbs, and is
once more a free man.
Don't. Parties seeing notices in the
News of property for sale or rent, should
not call too soon on the party udvertis
ing, as by doing so we cannot be allowed
to advertise longer than one day, there
by cutting off our income. - Two days
ago an advertisement was ordered in
the News, and oefore the paper went to
press the wants of the advertiser had
been supplied. The next day a notice
of house, for rent wa3, handed in, and
paid for" to be inserted- one week.
Scarcely ih ad we reached the office the
following morning before the advertiser
came in and begged that the notice be
taken out the house had been rented,
and we had to refund the money. Now,
every one knows this is not doing us
right we should-ai least be allowed to
make something; , Who will say that
advertising in the News don't pay
the advertiser?
years of effort have drilled us into some
degree of proficiency in our present and
novel tactic.
Alonsr with this revolution has al-
ready come a large number of new
counties : our list now runs close to a
hundred, and on it are so many names to
which our ears have been unused that
the calling of the catalogue is no long
er an easy matter to our most experi
enced officials, while all ot our maps
are out of date, and the geographies
can't pretend to keep pace with the
changes in our political divisions.
But. Mr. President, if the wants of
those concerned demanded this new
county, I would be ready to vote for the
measure, even at such a time, and when
there is scarcely a citizen except the
Secretary or Statev who can tell how
many counties we have and where and
how they lie, but at any time, and un-
derany circumstances, I wonld be hard
ly able to see a valid reason for cutting
slices out of the compact, harmonidus
and comparatively small counties ' ot
Warren, Granville and Franklin.
"Why disturb divisions under which
the people of those counties have pros
pered and been happy? Those three
counties have teen in many respects the
most desirable section of North uarohna.
The citizens of each have ever been
distinguished for county pride and
public spirit, they have all been within
comparatively easy reach of their county
seats, these county seats are nearly cen
tral, are centres of educational and
moral influences, noted for hospitality
and healthfulnsss, and adorned with ex-
cellent public buildings.
The historic associations o! each are
honorable, and without disparagirg the
other-two, allow me to say that I ever
wish to think of warren as identified
wish the illustrious names of Macon and
Edwards, and I may add, also, ot Somer-
ville. ".. .
There is scarcely a county seat in the
State more central than those of Warren

In conclusion he said, he had prom
ised the people on the stump to act and
vote as he intended to do.
Mr. Todd next addressed the Senate
in favor of the passage of the bill. He
was for an open and iair discussion, and
to give the opposition time for conside
ration's his endeavor to secure the con
sideration of the bill after recess showed.
Mr. Todd proceeded at some length to
review the Various objections charged
by the opposition, answering each in
turn. Concluding with remarks on the
importance ot the adoption ot the
Amendment.
Mr. Worth said, after Tiearing Mr.
Respess, h'i lelt like it was the shouting
time at a camp-meeting. Having la
bored to convince the Republicans that
this was no party measure, but lor the
general good of the whole State, and
now' to see the Senator from Beaufort
and Granville, and it the people of either -coming to the support of the amend-
of these most respectable and heretofore
very prosperous and contented com
munities labor under such grievances as
to demand the expensive, exciting and
confusion-working process ot reconstruc
tion, then we may as well at once
undertake tue re-arrangement ot our
whole county system. F '
Sir, I cannot touch such well formed
political divisions. I fear to chance a
single line,; and I know such an innova
tion where there is so little apparent
need, will be a dangerous precedent,
and will encourage a spirit of recon
struction everywhere.
ments, he really felt like shouting. The
proposed amendments were the policy
of the Republican party last, session.
The Committee appointed to prepare
them were composed of. equal Dutnbers
ot both parties, and there was not a
dissenting voice in the Committee. But
since the caucus has been in session,
and the wail of the Republican organ,
the Era has been heard, there is every
manner of objection raised, except by
the Senator from Beaufort, who had the
manliness to hold out aad not allow
himself to be squeezed in; by these in
fluences, that he was sorry to sec had

Special Order:
The bill repealing the General iucor

chapter 20 of the Revised Code, being
the special order, was taken up.
Mr, Houston moved to indefinitely
Dos'tnone. He thought the law had not
yet had a fair trial. He did not thin:
it fair to those corporations who had
paid their incorporation fee.
Mr. JOncs, of Caldwell, had failed to
hear any good renson why the law
should remain on the statute books. lie
thought the tee cf $25 taxed in the act
was entirely wronfr. He anrucd at
length in favor of the repeal.
Dudley, col., thought the law as it
stood discriminated against the poor
man. He favored the passage of the
bilk "
Mr. BIythe concurred with Mr, Jones
ot Caldwell.
Mr. Gudger hoped the motion to in
definitely postpone would prevail. He
thought tins general inoorporation act
was a sf ep in the right direction. It had
the tendency to prevent the time of the
General Assembly being consumed by
passing thee bills incorporating petty
corporations, nine out of ten ot which
never go into operation.
Mr. McNeil agreed with Mr. Gudger,
and entered into an argument to show
the utility and wisdom of the law as it
stood.
Mr. ; Bennett offered an amendment
that the Treasurer shall return the
money to parties who have already
paid lee3 udder this act.
Mr. Jonesj of Cald well, again occupied
the floor in advocacy of the bill.
Mr. McNeill said that if only a part
of - the law was defective and did r.ot
work well, he. could not see why the
gentlemen did not amend the defective

we trust the citizens generally will turn

is taken from the "Brooklyn Union:"
"It would be well nigh impossible to

power and eloquence of this young

and comic in such rapid succession, and
with inimitable acting, that one must
indeed hear to appreciate him."
