Mountain Beef. We are indebted to Dr. J. T. Roid, of McDowell county, for an elegant piece of steak sent us yesterday from the stall of W. R. Crawford at the city market. Dr. Reid brought quite a number of his excellent mountain beeves to this market last week. ; 1 Li connection with this, we would Jcall. the attention of those, in authority on the .North Carolina Road to the great inconvenience and loss they cause to parties shipping live stock to this market by the present freight schedule over their road. Stock comim; from over the Western North Carolina Road has to remain at Salisbury from 4 in the afternoon until G the next morning; has to stop over at Company Sbops that afternoon, and remain until the fol lowing aiternoon, 'reaching Raleigh the third afternoon in a jaded and feverish condition, having lust in weight bv the delay. .' If some arrangement could be made for transporting this stock more rapidlv, it would 'build up the stock raising in the western part of the State, would add largely to the nrohts of those engaged in the business, and would give to the eastern markets of the State a quality or beef superior to that with which our markets are cursed.

The proceedings the House on yesterday were, as a general thing, devoid of public inter est. When the bill came up requiring Judges of the Superior Court to ap prove or disapprove the Clerk's judg ment in special proceedings, etc., Mr. Morrison stated that he was the intro ducer of the bill, and thought it an important one to the entire State. Its nrovisions had been thoroughly dis cussed before 'the Judiciary Committee, and there met with no opposition. He intended the bill to be a hit at no par ticular Judge, for if a Judge did his duty, it could-not affect him, It he failed to do his duty, then the parties injured had a remedy unoer this bill. The bill passed its second and third readings. . .. Owin to the absence of a number ol members, the Constitutional amend ment abfishing theoffioe of Superin tendent ol Public Works failed of the requisite two-thirds vote, and the con sideration ol the others was postponed until to.day.

James Gib bons, Bishop of Richmond, Va., adminr istered the sacrament J of confirmation to the several candidates who presented themselves. The Church was literally crammed with people eager to witness the im pressive and beautiful ceremony. At the conclusion of the ceremony the Bishop made the participants a short, address replete with loving admonitions and judicious advice. His words were'so full ot tender care and his manner so affectionate that everyexpression which fell from his lips commanded strict at tention anu impressed-- themselves upon all hearers. At the conclusion of the reading of the Gospel the "Father Matthew Tem peiance Society," through Mr. M. Barbee,presented the Bishop with an ad dress, asking him to deliver to them the pledge of the Society and to bless their badges. In complying with the request the' reverend Bishop made- a few well timed t and lprcef ul remarks on temper ance. ' J ;- Notwithstanding the pouring rain in the afternoon, the Bishop's lecture at the Church, on " Papal Infallibility," had a very large attendance, and on every hand we heard it lauded for its sound logic, chaste language and the unostentatious yet elegant manner of its delivery. There is an indescribable charm about thi3 reverend ' gentleman's manner, whether "in ordinary conversation or: speaking from the pulpit, which at once fixes the attention of his hearers, and canies him straight way into their good will, and the elegant simplicity of his manuers serve to render him universally beloved. - . - ihe ed Mr. u-auie A ,l.d ? iuj , -j . v,uuii, , uou 4u yunvi ix"J Itlfarncl !

' "' .'''.' " ' . ' ' For the Daily News. 'Jestina Sente." The attention of Senators is invited to a bill which has passed the House and will soon come before them for consideration. It is a bill to declare larceny of goods under the value of five dollars a misdemeanor, but it might well be entitled a bill to remove the safe-guards from property in eastern North Carolina. We will not trespass upon the space ot the News to give our views at length, but epitomize several objections : 1, The aggravation of a larceny docs not depend solely or chiefly upon the value of the article stolen. It is a higher offence to break into a house (not under circumstances amounting to burglary) and steal four dollars, than to steal ten dollars worth from the field. 2. The number of colored magistrates, and what is worse, worthless white men, in large Republican counties,! who would be enabled to shield their con stituents from justly deserved punish ment, by imposing a nominal fine. 3. Making tne punishment ot what has always been a felony, the same as the lightest misdemeaner known to the law. For an assuuit and battery a man may be fined a hu idred or five hundred dollars, but for breaking into your gin house and stealing'riity pouuds of your seed cotton, thirty days imprisonment is the extent ol the punishment. 5. The natural and inevitable tenden cy of magistrates to put a small value upon the articles stolen, will place into their hands almost the entire criminal law of the State. The natural tenden cy of a'Court to enlarge its own juris diction is well known. Does any State of the 'Union place thirty days imprisonment as the the ex tent of punishment lor a larceny of property to the amount of four dollars. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. E L V Y N N U R SEUY. Messrs. Allen and Humphrey .warmly supported tbe adoption of the substi tute..: , ;.fi ii r I Mr. Welch opposed the striking -out of the substitute requiring the ' road to be completed to Rutherford ton, as i he deemed that it would be unjust to the people of that section, who had sub scribed Ito tbe Wilmington, .unanotte and Rutherfordton Railroad, not to complete this road as the ! charter of that Company iequired. '., ',' ; 1 Mr. Dunham argued that the corpora tors in the Carolina Central";; Railway Company had nothing to do .with the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford ton Railroad Company,' farther than; to hold mortgage bonds upon the same ; that the latter Company "was utterly unable to complete theroad, and that the new corporators desired and had a right tq go in some other direction than the one required in the charter granted to the W. G. & R. R. R. ; Mr. Murphy argued to tbe same effect. He thought that so long as the corpo rators asked nothing unreasonable 'in their charter and no aid from the State, they should not be restricted to any given line'. " L 4 Mr. Seymour could not see how; the corporators could be '-restricted, and would vote.fortbe striking out OtUhe amendment.. v . - ; i The motion to strike out was adopted.
