Raleigh as a Cotton Market. It is a matter of congratulation that our-city has become-in the past twelve months a cotton market ot large importance, and it the in crease continues in the same ratio, this market will, in the course a few years, into an importance second to .1 .1 o . a . T ; 1 none in the Douiner.n otaiea. umiy our streets teem with wagon3 and carts laden ivith tliis r.taple,' and our mer chants,exhausting storage room, lumber ud the sidewalks with balc3. The ben efits derived from the impetus given to this trade, can be observed.on every hand. Tlie number of stores and dwell ings springing up in every direction and the business of bustle and activity pervading our principal streets give ample evidence of the dawn of an era of prosperity and growth. The good effect', of this state of af fairs is daily made apparent. Our merchants and business men are becoming more liberal and enterprising, and a field of labor is opened up to 'the unemployed masses. Wn hope this spirit will not flag, but that it will steadily grow. All citizens should labor zealously to . foster and encourage all enterprises, the prosecution of which will tend, in any way, to advance the material interests ol the cominunity..In tlie attainment of this obiect the columns of the News will aways be opened, and as an earnest of this dis position, our readers may expect to nna iu them, each, day, the latest and most reliable report ot the markets, both at home and abroad. In reference to our allusion to the claims of this city as a cotton market, we invite attention to the fact that the prices paid here are as good as those paid in any- southern citv. A relerence to the reports oi. tne markets of the South will bear us out in this assertion. "Papal Infallibility." To-morrow evening, the Right Rev. Bishop Gib bons, will lecture in St. John's Church, on the above subject. Gentlemen . at the door will provide seats for strangers. The Bishop's discourse will he a rich intellectual and oratorical treat. The public are respectiully invited. He will also lecture on Monday evening. The hour and subject will be duly announced, - i Case for the Jury. As will be seen by our report of Senate proceeds ings yesterday, Senator Grandy rose to a question of personal privilege, in which he takes the News Re porter to task for misrepresenting him in his remarks in opposition tof the Constitutional Amendment bill in! the Senate, February 5th. Notwith standing Mr, ou an report, yet he saj3 nothing of this error ( ? ) till after he spends nearly a week with his constituency. As to the misrepresentation, we Very respectfully beg to differ in J opinion with Mr. Grandy. We say that our re port is a correct report of the position taken by him, and we are willing to rest the question of difference with the President and members of the Senate, and if we are' wrong, then we are will But we are' unwilling for' Mr.4 Grandy of - Mr. anybody else . to get up nine days alter a report is written, find flaws suitable to his purpose and then get us to admit that we are wrong. : Since our' career ' as Reporter ot the News, both in the Senate and in the House, we have carefully avoided any report that was not in a strict iccor dance with the tacts, and never in a single in stance discriminating in favor of party. In onr side remarks, elsewhere than in . ouf report3, -we 1 of course commented a3 we pleased on the ac tion of members. " . , i We publish below our report of the remarks of Mr. Grandy and also the reply of Mr. Gudger to, the same, merely to show that it would be very strange in Mr. Gudger to use such remarks in re ply to a speech that only contained the pild sentiment, "the tendency: of the amendments were revolutionary." If Mr. Grandy will rise to a second question of personal privilege aHd get the members c: the Senate to say we misrepresented him, then we will mi the correction: k 'M'.ViUVi .1, make From the Daily News Senate Report of Feb. 5th, in., u.auuj ut.ujj vuc uuui .u vV: nr r 1 ' A a. i, -fl rm ; i position, stating that he had been misrepresented in the statument, that he was opposed to Constitutional Amend ments, but he '-was opposed to any alterations or amendments to that instrument at this time. It was not important, and the people did not demand a change. If there were ; imperfections in the Con stitution,! would rather stand by them than to "fly to evils he knew not of," as this bill nroDOses.. , He relerred to the clause in the Constitution providing how it shall be changed or amended, and argued that the eighteen bills now ottered were not in accordance there - with.' He was here interrupted by Mr.! Morehead, of Guilford, who asked if he, would vote for the original bill. Mr.! Grandy no, sir. He thought the pas sage of the original bill was calculated to uproot the whole government of the State. To support the amendments as they appear.he thought would beantag- oniatic to - the law now existing, and would necessarily lead to revolution. A violation of one part was a violation of the whole, and he conselled Senators to avoid the dangerous ground they were treading. Mr. Morehead, ot Guilford, replied to the above remarks, when Mr. Grandy again took the floor and said: "His book of Constitutions did not read as the Senator's from Guilford. . He would ask if the last General Assembly passed eighteen bills ? (Answered by Senator from Guilford. There were eighteen amendments offered.) He could not 60 sec it. He wa3 not here to make party capital. If his people did not like his course, and did not vote for him again, he could remain at home. . It would be better for the Republican party to sink than for t these constitutional amend ments to pass ; better there should be no party than' a . revolution, and he though a revolution would inevitably follow if this sacred instrument, the Constitution, was tampered with. The present Constitution was as . good a one as North Carolina ever had, and the people enjoyed more rights and privi-' leges under it than ever before, and now to change it would bring upon us an other revolution. Mr. Gudger said he was a friend to the bill, but opposed to war. He was satisfied with the one he had just pass ed through, and if the gentleman (Mr, Grandy) could show the strength of his argument, he would take pleasure in going with him; but he was not to be frightened by this old Republican dodge of the cry of war. It was the known policy of the Republican party to resort to these alarming subterfuges. He read from the Constitution to show ! that amendments proposed were in strict accordance with law. He was ready now and here to lay violent (?) hands on this organic law, and knew, he would feel better in doing so. Catholic; Church Services To morrow. -High Mass will take place at 11 o'clock, at which the Right Rev. Dr. Gibbons will preside. Arriving at the Church, the Bishop will be received at his carriage by the ''Father Mathew Temperance Union" in . regalia.

A number of gentlemen of the Catholic congregation in this city are desirous of forming themselves into a Temperance organization, and the prop er steps have beeh taken to inaugurate their Society. Some twenty-five per sons have already given in their adhe sion to the cause, and on next Sunday the V j" Father Matthew Temperance Union" will be inaugurated. They will present themselves at the Altar, and re quest the Right Rev. Bishop Gibbons tojgive his blessing to their undertaking, and administer to them the pledge as imparted in the Roman Catholic Church. It will be a beautiful spectacle to wit ness these gentlemen coming forward to invoke the aid ot God and religion to prosecute a work so advantagous to themselves and society in general. Their regalia consists ot a pure white scarf, bearing the words "Father Mat ithew Temperance Union."

From the Goldsboro (N. C.) Messenger. Hunter's Cancei Infirmary. -Dr. Hunter has quite a rush ol patients at his Cancer Infirmary, in this place. His success in the treatment of cancers and other analagous disorders seems to have reached the ears and eve3 of the afflict- ed, a large number of whom, from vari- ous parts of the country, are now in the Infirmary undergoing treatment. In this connection wo append the follow- mg certincates wuicii we Know to De genuine: Dr. J. Miles Hunter d Co., OoldsboroN. C. Gentlemen : For the sake of all who may be similarly afflicted, I take great pleasure in making the following state ment : I had for two years been offlicted with Cancer ot the breast. After suffering great pain, I was induced, after reading one ot your circulars, and seeing your advertisement in the Wilmington Journ aZ, to place myself under your treatment. Alter a lapse of only four weeks I re turned home,to-day,relieved of my afflic tion, and a living example of your skill in your profession. Should this state ment be Ot service to you, or be the means of inducing others to be relieved of similar afflictions, I tiust that it may thus be the means of repaying you some portion of your kindness and attention to myself. M.J.Brown, . Dalton, Bladen Co , N. C. Grantsboro, Pamlico Co., N. C. ' Drs. J. T. Hunter & Tew : Dear Sirs : Allow me to acknow ledge my gratitude to you for the cure of a Cancer with which I was afflicted for some 18 or 20 years, which had become very annoying. About the mid dle of last July I, by the advice of my friends, put my case under your reat mcnt, and while using your Cancer prc- naration. I had an attack.of billious re- mittent fever which retarded the pro- gress of your Cancer treatment for some five or six weeks. After the fever left mel am happy -to say your treatment succeeded finelv for the Cancer came out and by the last of November the ulcer- ation healed, to my great satisfaction, and I very cheerfully add this as one more testimony to the success ot your practice, hoping this may benefit others who are afflicted as - was. Accept my best wishes tor your success. Yours with entire re3pect. John S. Bryson. .Dec. 14th, 1872. , NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. AkU ST POSTPONED S The sale of the furniture of Mrs. A.

He urged, in remarks of length, the passage of the resoldtion, ana lnsisieu uiat iue ueuwai .sbcmoiy should not sit quietly by and see the State's interests sacrificed. , '" : . " ; Mr. Badger opposed the measure. X - aw- r-m . w9 m r ' Messrs. SlcGehes, Houston, Morrison and Luckey, took strong ground . in favor of the resolution. Mr. Johnston offered the .following proviso: ; ' . Provided, however, That if the. plain tiff and other parties to the suit herein authorized to be appeal from, will agree that the decree of foreclosure and sale heretofore made in 4the Circuit Court of the United States, for the Western 1 District of North Carolina, shall be so modified and amended, as to require that the party or parties purcnasmg iue property directed to be sold under said decree, shall not obtain a perfect title toeretiyjumBa..fl'.vt..p.'v;-ca with tw,Pt years Irom the date ot , said sale, complete and equip in running order, the Railroad sold under said decree, and unless they shall also bid not less than the full amount of the actual and bonajide indebtedness of said Eastern Divis'oaof the Western North Carolina Railroad Company, which said 1 indebtedness shall be determined , by arbitrators to be selected by the parties under the direction of the Court, and J subject to confirmation by the Court then the parties herein directed to apnea! on behalt ot , the i Btate are authorized to abandon such appeal or the instituting of any suits, authorized to be instituted under the provisions ol this resolution! -"! - d ; Mr. Johuston urged the adoption oi his provise in remarks of length. ; He u pea ted in eloquent to the; House to come to the releif of his section, and glve tham an outlet to the markets of the world. ' ---- ; Messrs. - Bryan, of Alleghany, anil McNeill argued in-favor pi' the resolu tion. Mr. Craige hoped the proviso would not pas3. lie said it covered a proposition from the Southern;Security Railway Company,: that, if the.decree was allowed to stand, that they puld, for a bonus "of $1.00.000, guarantee .-: rr ' -.t . .1 - the completion of road, but wlio is lo be the judg ol the guarantee t . . . .-,iMr.7Gttd2cr favored.-the-proviso of Me. Johnston. He contended that if the road was' not sold to a Company who Would build it the transmontaine coun try would continue to be shut up f foe years to come. He represented no spe cial set ,ot men, no ring or no Railroad Company ; he represented the honest, whole biate in part, and in justice to them urged the adoption ol Mr. Johnston's proviso, &c Mr. Robinson Raid ft UrfwmnmW nfl this matter. . The Committee raised for that purpose had not given the ' House any information as to the valid' Ity of the mortgage under' which" the plaintiff seeks to foreclose. Yet neither. the gentleman from Wake, (Mr. Badgei) nor the y gentleman ;from , Buncombe, Mr. Johnston, have controverted the position that the -mortgage bonds are illegal and fraudulent, and while - the Supreme Court , ot the United States might sanction the decree ot the Court below with the record as it now stands,: yet upon a bill ot Review as suggested by ;the gentleman from Wake, lie left satisfied ..that Judge Dix, . from his knowledge of that distinguished gen- . . ... A. ,. - . MlU5 auu vus iu with law and justice. He did not yield to the gentleman from Buncombe or any one else ' in his " desire to have Western North Carolina- penetrated by railroads, but if his con stituents demanded of, him that he should compound a felony, or authorize the Governor to do so, and thus stultify his conscience, in the sale ot $4,000,000 s of property for the benefit of Henry Slews, whose name is intimately asso-, ciated with all the dirty lobbying and 4 tascally thieving of bonds during! the1 reconstruction of our impoverished' States of the South; and who, according ercould not touch a bond without v -. COUDOn. then anothei"man to the gentleman from Wake, Mr, Bad- stealing a coupon, then another 'man must take his place on tnef floor. ':.ii; t The whole question turns; upon the illegality of the mortgage bonds, and while he would not favor foolish oppo sition to the Eale of that Road it the decree of foieclosure was baseu upon' legitimata indebtedness," and- obtained b; an( regular' proceedings in Court, yet ?he could ( not consistently. with his sense of duty and honor submit to have the State's interest sacrificed for the benefit of that King ot Lobbyist?,' Henry Clews, upon a process which, to use the language of Got, Caldwell, "bears the badge of fraud on its face." This Senate resolution gives the Gover nor all the power that the gentleman from ;Wake would vest in him by his proviso, and goe3 further and lodges the power of appeal in him if he thinks tie State's interest demands it, while the proviso of Mri Badger takes the power of appeal from him, and leaves the Governor tied hand and foot. Mr. Bowman said in his opinion the mortgage was a valid one. Mr. Bryson, of Swain, ottered a provi so that the Company who may buy the road be compelled to build the road to Paint Rock and Ducktown in five years. Lost."
