Haw River Water Power. The
last Hillsboro Recorder thus alludes to
th.j water power of Haw River : '
" No stream in North Carolina can
compare with Haw River in the many
advantages it has over others of greater
size and capacity. It can whow no such
concentration. ot power as: ist exhibited
by the Roanoke at Weldon. Its falls
may be lower than those of the High
Shoals on the Catawba. But in the
number, and frequency of its mill sites,
it is wilh'jut a rival.. From Haywood
at its mouth, to Wentworth in Rock
ingham' county, it is a manufactoring
stream. It has twenty mill sites in
sixty miles, all of them with abundant
power.and very few utilized.There isonly
one cotton factory on the river below
the North Carolina 'Kail Road." That
has belonged to Newlin, & Sons, and
has been worked uninterruptedly for
more than SU 'ears, such a thing
asstoppage by failure of water beibg
uknjown.- Above the bridge on the
Rail Hpad, three sites are occupied, one
by T. M. Holt, immediately, at the
bridge, and another, by E. . Ml Ho t &
Sons, another at Big Falls, all as cotton
factories; of the other numerous sites,
some are occupied by small grain mills,
others unused. Looking at the idle
capital at the North seekiog investment,
it would appear no better choice could
be made than the waters of Haw riter.
In the first place, the water power' at
each of the twenty or more points suit-
aoie lor use, is suthcicnt to
run : from 30,000 . to 50,000 spin
dles at each, and it has betn proven by
experience tbat the power is unfailing,
because it is under such control, that
the whole of it can be applied.. ; In the
second p'.ace, it is within easy reach of
the raw material, either by the Chatham
Railroad tor points towards the mouth
of the river, and by the N. C. R. R. for
points higher up. Above the railroad
bridge, the railroad and the river, run
nearly parallel, at a distance no where
exceeding seven miles. In the third
place, the soil is fertile producing all
the cereals iri abundance, and the finest
of fruits, making the cost of living in
finitely lower than it otn possibly be in
any t .the northetn manufacturing
towns. Labor also would be' 'abundant
and. cheap, as is proved by the ex
perieficc of the' present manufacturers.
In the fourth place, the climate is emi
nently pleasant and healthy, the winters
of short duration as compared with
those of the North, and the summers
not so subject to those extreme periods
of heat, which mark a northern climate.
. " These four points arc iocontestible.
They arg not stated to color a picture,
or delude by misrepresentation to en
trap the unwary. They are'UDexagger -ated
tacts. V
"What region, then, so. attractive to
capital', as one that furnishes an abun
dant accessible power, a near vicinity
to the 'raw material, the fertility oi soil,
and consequent cheapness ot living, and
the healthtulness of a climate,absolutely
free' from malaria, or local causes ot
disease.
' These things have not been suffi
ciently well Knowa, and most ot our
own people are ignorant of, them. We
confess to a want of accuracy, which
however we are seeking to supply."
Intellectual Entertainment.
Raleigh has been favored this i winter
with . but few entertainments ; of any
character. As a general thing the
theatrical concerns that travel through,
the South are catch-penny affairs.and the
time and money spent in wifdessiug
their exhibitions are worse than wasted.
It may be that the meagre patronage
extended to such travelling companies
has been the means, of keeping Away,
from bur city more meritorious perform
ances..'. ; ,!;", 'i . :, ' ;
' Wc think theharge that the people
of Raleigh will not,' patroniza entertain:-;

The Proposed New Fair Grottnds.
Oa Thursday night last a meeting of the
citizens of Raleigh and others was held
in Metropolitan Hall for the purpose of
putting in motion the ball by which a
sufficient ' amount of money was to be
raised to erect the buildings proposed
to be placed upon the Fair Grounds'of
the State Agricultural Society. ' The
plan of these buildings wras then exhU
bited, and we are justified in saying that
if the designs can be carried out by the
Building Committee the grounds will
prove an ornament to the State and re
flect great credit upon the Society. Ral
eigh should feel a peculiar 'interest in
the success of the Society, and , we
were glad to see some of our
leadingeitizens putting down amount.3
towards the attainment of the object
that evidenced their intention
the matter through. A committee
citizens were appointed to wait upon
the business men of JLialeigh to f solicit
contributions, and We hope they' are
making good headway. Let every one
lend a helping hand. '
There will be another meeting of the
citizens on the first Thursday night in
next monih, when final steps will be
taken concerning - the character of the
buildings to be erected. The people of
Raleigh must then decide whether . they
will have Fair Grounds that they will
not be ashamed of. , Let every one. con
sider himself as personally appealed to
in this matter. The, Executive Com
mittee are willing to bend every nerve
in the matter if they are properly sup
ported, i

The Ram that Butted. -The Dan

off the following good thing :
"A retired clergyman sends us ,an
account of a little affair that happened
in his place. It appears that there was
a young woman, a fine &pirited girl,
engaged at a wash-tub opposite an open
door.: ilust behind her, was;. a youog
man, as is generally the case, aud in the
yard was an old buck that was allowed
the freedom of';, the premises, which is
not always the cae, we are glad to say.
Well, this buck, came up to the door,
and looked, in, and the young man
coins: close
behind the young woman.
pointed his finger straight at the buck,
and the old fellow recognizing afcpce
the pressing chattier, ot this. ntite in-
forward and the miserable fellow sfep-
ped lo ono side':
ie and fled, and the young
woman all. Unconscious of -the arrange ;
ment. received the awful shock without
warning and passed over the tub, and
the air lor ian instant appeared to be
full of slippers,; and wet clothes, and
soap, and hot;. water, and suds. And
the next minute that goat camO flying
out of that door at a dreadful : speed,
bald the whole length of hissjaine, and
with-a iwild look in his eye.; An J for

Mr, Norwood stated that too much
attention could not be paid to the agri

indicating opposition, he had offered

desired.

- The bill giving cumulative suffrage j
to the city ot Raleigh in the election of
Com missioners 1 was - considered. The
Committee : ; on Propositions ; and
Grievances reported favorably upon the
bill, . .
Mr. Hill, from same Committee, sub
mitted a minority report adverse to the
measure, believing that the majority of
the voting population of the city did
not wish such a change.
, Mr. Norwood favored the bill at some
length as one of propriety, the only
qutstion being the Tight ot the Legisla
ture to pass Euch a law. He w as of
opinion it did have that right.
Harris. cof., 6pposed the bill. He
izens of Raleigh desired it. He could
not see the necessity of the measure, no
grievances were complained of, and he
could learn of no demand for such a
step comingjfrom the people of Raleigh.
He was unwilling to try this new experi
ment, unless he could be shown wherein
it would result to the general good of
hi3 constituents. If it was to be put
upon Raleigh, let it be put upon the
whole State. His remarks were con
tinued at some length, and we would
give a. full synopsis of both Mr. Nor
wood's and Harris' remarks, for the
information of our city readers, but for
the want of space. -.
Harris presented a memorial from the
citizens of Raleigh praying that this
bill do not pass.
Mr. Dunham hoped the bill would
pass. He did not think it should be
considered as partisan. He referred to
the fact that during the discussion of
this question in the House last session,
when it was eiven to the city of Wil
mington, it received the unqualified
support of the Hon. Samuel F. Phillips,
who then represented the county of
Wake Mr. Phillips stating that he be
lieved that the principle ot cumulation
would eventually prove the greatest
protection to the colored population of
the couth, who were so largely in the
minoritv. -.The speaker believed it
would work well wherever applied, and
he hoped to see it applied to all the
cities and towns in the State if not to
the State Government.
Mr.' Norwood replied to some of the
remarks of the Senator from Wake. He
believed that the application df
cumulative suffrage to Raleigh would
be of great benefit to the city that the
finances of the city would be better
managed. She had a debt upon her ol
$120,000, incurred within the last lew
years. The cumulative system ; had
worked well wherever it had been ap
plied, and he was in favor of granting
the appeal which had been sent up from
a large number of tax-paying citizens
of the city.
The bill passed its second reading by
a vote of yeas 22, nays 11.

Mr. Badger, from the , Join
Select
Committee to examine the' Calendar
and report a day for adjournment,
stated that it would be impossible for
the General Assembly to adjourn before
the. 3rd of next month, and in order to
do that: both Houses would have to
hold night sessions and work hard.
-The consideration of the bill to raise
revenue- was . resumed. The question
recurred upon the proviso offered by
Sir. Brown on yesterday (pubhshed.)
Mr. Stanford ' would support the
proviso if that clause requiring
justified bond was stricken out. j He
thought that this system would .throw
the liquor trade in the hands of a. few
wealthy men and thus discriminate
against the pooV inen. T' . i y ' -
. Mr. Brown, of; Mecklenburg .hoped
the proviso would pass just as it stood.
.Messrs. Morri.ton and Johnston did not
think Ihe Wvemie bill a suitable place
for such legislation. The matter: should
be in a separate Will, f - ..
v Mr. Houstndid not see the necessity
of this proviso; us a bill hadpassed the
Senate covering the whole ground. -'
Mr. Bidger again urged the adoption
ol the proviso. 8 ? : r
, Messis. , Browa, of Davidson, and
Bean disliked the gbond clause, and
' The
did not think the Senate would pass it
think . majority of the tax-paying cit-
the matter should be
taken up as a separate proposition,
Mr. Bowman Biid that with the per
mission of the House he withdrew that
portion of the proviso which, relates to
minors, as the ground was covered by
the provisions of a bill - which had
passed the Senate, f : t U ? K-
Mr. Brown, of Mecklenburg, said that
after reflection he thought it best that
the provisions of the proviso should be
prougnt up in a separate bill. -
Williamson, colored,; moved ; .an
amendment reducing the iustifi d
bond from $500 to f 100.
Mr. Bennett regretted to oppose the
proviso. In Battle's new complication
ot the law s the provisions pf the chap
ter ol the Revised Code in reference to
Inns and Ordinarieswere retained, and
it answered all thwyposes of this
prOVlSO, &C .
Mr. Bowman "was allowed to modify
his proviso as ho had indicated.!
Williamson s amendment was put to
a vote and rejected.
The yeas and nays were called and
the proviso was voted down yeas 20,
nay 8 80.
Mr. Badger moved to amend section
26, schedule 4,B," by striking out "2 per
cent." tax on cross receipts of those
Insurance Companies who do not Invest
50 per cent, of their gross receipts in
bond and mortgage in this State, and
insert a tax of 5 per cent. The amend
ment was adopted. .
In section 21, scheaule "B " Mr t
Blackwell offered the following proviso,
wnicu was adopted:
Provided, That nothing herein con
tained shall be so construed as to re
quire a tax to be paid by any person
other than merchants and pedlars lor
bartering cotton, iron, earthenware,
yarns, salt and heavy cotton domestics.
I he eartnenware exemption was put"
in on the motion ot Mr. Anderson, of
Clay, and that of iron by Mr. Bowman.
Alter a . somewhat lengthy debate
upon tho numerous amendments offered
to the other sections, the bill passed its
third reading by a vote of yeas 58t nays
42, and w as ordered to be engrossed
and sent to the Senate.'
