Meeting of the Citizens Last
Night. As announced, a meeting of
the citizens was held at Metropolitan
Hall last night to consider the question
of raising means to erect the buildings
upon the proposed Fair .'Grounds, and
we were glad to see a good crowd in at
tendance, evidence more interest than
was manifested in the former meeting..
The leading business men of the city
were present, and it was evidenced that
the citizens intended the Excutive
Committee should have the means to
carry forward their idea of making the
proposed new Fair Grounds second to
none in the South. ,
The President oi the Society, Col. T.
M. Holt, was called to the Chair,
and explained the x objects of the
meeting. He felt a deep interest in the
Society. He hal not one dollar's
ioterest at stake, but b a-North
Carolinian he felt a pride in her State
Fair, and would devote his time, his
energy and his money to the object
sought to be attained the building up
of a State Fair of which the whole State
migiit well feel proud. The State Fair
should be held at Raleigh, and he was
opposed to its being moved to any
other point. If the citizens would con.e
forward and subscribe liberally the
Excutive Committee would go forward
with the work with energy. He had
every assurance that we should have a
magnificent exhibition it we would
arrange suitable grounds. He would
be is liberal as any one else. He meant
work; be knew the Committee meant
work. Raleigh had only to say there
should be a Fair and they should have
it.
Gen. D. M. Barringer said if the ques
tion was whether we should have a Fair
or not, it became every citizen of
Raleigh to be up and doing the State
Fair must be made a success. The
agricultural and mechanical interests of
a State could be promoted in no better
way than by these annual exhibitions.
Both the old and new worlds were wak
ing up to the importance of these exhi
bitions, and North Carolina should not
be behind her sister Southern States.
As a matter of both city and State
pride, as well as in a pecuniary interest,
the citizens of Raleigh should put their
shoulders to the wheel and push this
work, forward to a successful comple
tion. The annual Fairs brought not
less than $75,000 to the city, and prob
ably a great deal more. Every manner
ot business was benefitted to a greater
or less extent.
Col. J. M. Heck urged the great ad
vantages to the State of these annual
exhibitions, and earnestly hoped the
citizens of Raleigh would show the peo
ple of the State they were in earnest in
this matter.
Messrs. Lynn Adams, J. S. Allen, M.
T. Leach, R. H. Battle, Jr.. W. C.
Upchurch, G. W. Blacknall, Wm. H.
Crow and P. F. Pescud urged in" an
earnest manner the importance of the
matter to Raleigh, and hoped that a
sufficient interest would be manifested
by her citizens to complete the work as
proposed. Mr. Battle said his children
had told him to come and "vote for the
State Fair," and hence he.Jwas present.
He spoke of the continued prosperity
of Raleigh, and believed Jhe building
up of a good Fair Grounds would tend
to udd largely to this prosperity.
The Soliciting Committees reported
some $5,000 contributed, with only a
partial report from Eastern Ward and
no report from Western Ward.
Mr. W. H. Crow knew the Commit
tees had worked faithfully, but he
thought still more could be done. He
believed thetna Insurance Company,
which he represented, would contribute
$500. Mr. P. F. Pescud said bethought
he could pledge his company' for as
much, and Col- JrJ. Hickman, of the
St. Louis Mutual, thought he could
pledge his company lor the. same.
(This looks like business.)

1 Paso Bond Swindle.
New YoRK,March 5. General Fre
mont, who is at present in this city, has
prepared a written defence in the matter
of proceedings in JParis concerning the
El Paso Bond sales? He denies all guilty
knowledge of fraudulent practices. The
criminal action in France is against
Fremont & Beerlau, Probst, Paradise,
Lissihgall and Popinel, and the accusa
tion rests upon the forgery by Probst
and others of certificates of New York
stock exchange, whereby the bonds of
the El Paso Company were admitted to
the Pari3 Bourse. It is probable that
proceedings may be commenced against
Fremont in this country.
The Terms Offered the Modocs.
San Francisco, March 6. The terms
offered to the Modocs are : First, to
surrender as prisoners ot war to Gen.
Canby and to receive a full amnesty for
the past. Second, to be removed to
Angel Island and there to be clothed,
fed, and sheltered as soldiers are, until
a permanent home in some warmer
country may be found for them, per
haps Arizona. Third, to be clothed,
led and sheltered in their new home
until such time as they will be able to
maintain themselves, their women and
children, and receive transportation to
Angel Island, and thence to their new
home. Fourth, Gen. Canby is'of opin
ion that he can promise Captain Jack
and some ot his head men permission

Washington News Alabama Sena
torial Question Discussed. ;
Washington, March 6. The con
ference report on the post-office appro
priations bill retained the clause inserted
by the Senate, excluding absolutely
from the mails all free matter after the
30th ot June 1873. This, of course,
cuts off all tree newspaper exchanges
aud all free mail delivery ol country
newspaper?.
Senate Mr. Spencer, of Alabama,
also advanced with intention of taking
the oath. Mr. Bayard objected to
Spencer being sworned in. He said
that it was known that there were
doubts as to the legality of the election
under which the credentials ot Mr.
Spencer came to the Senate. The cre-
in4.:in v i. ii i
ucui.ia:a ui nuutuer geuiieuiau Claiming I it),
to be elected (senator from Alabama,Mr.
Sykes, were on the table and he objec
ted to Mr. Spencer being sworn in until
his credentials were passed upon by a
Committee of this body. .
Mr. Hamlin said it was the custom to
swear in a Senator whose credentials
were in regular form, and then if there
were any questions as to the legality ot
his election they could be decided
upon without prejudice to any one.
This had been the precedent,
Mr. Bayard moved that the creden
tials of Mr. Sykes, and ol Mr. Spencer
be laid on the table, and the question
of Mr. Spencer's admission be postponed
until to-morrowr, or to some future day.
Mr. Conkling said Mr. Sykes was
here solely as a memorialist, whereas the
credentials of Mr. Spencer were in
proper form. He J Mr. C.J held that Mr.
Spencer should now be sworn'm ac
cordance with the custom and the pre
cedent, and his credentials called and
then be referred to the Committee on
Elections without any prejudice what
ever to the contestant. .
Mr. Bayard said Mr. Conkling was
mistaken in his assertion, that Mr.
Sykes was here in the character of a
memorialist. The credentials ot"Mr.
Sykes are in regular and proper form.
As to the precedents in such Cases, Mr.
B. instanced the fact that Mr. Stark, of
Oregon,- whose credentials were in
proper form, and for whose Beat there
was no contest, had' not been admitted,
but his credentials were sent to the
Committee on the Judiciary : and Iwo
years ago Mr. Goldthwaite, of Ala
bama, was objected - to ' when his cre
dentials were in proper form, and there
was no contestant whatever for his
seat, yet we all know how lour; it was
before he was admitted to his seat.
Mr. B. then maintained that the record
showed that Mr. Spencer's credentials
were not in proper form and it would
be an injustice to the people of Alabama
it he was admitted without scrutiny.
The discussion on the subject was
continued by Mr. Thurrnan aud others
Spencer's. case occupied the Senate
the entire day.
