As stated in yesterday's issue, it was
ye local's pleasure to spend three days
of the present week in the pleasant little
town ot'Louiaburg. the county sea
Franklin county. Court being in
sion the town was crowded with visi
tors, both from the country arouod and
abroad, and we never saw the town
more lively. There is much about
Louisburg to" make it lively, several
fixed institutions known only to Louis
btlrg, chiefest amtmg.whicfc, is the semi
annual Horse Swaps on Cedar Hill. As
some of our readers may not have seen
our article on Cedar Hill last fall, we
propose to give a briet history of this
ancient and famous spot. Cedar Hill
is a small knoll of about one and a half
acresNin extent, covered with cedar
trees, aftd though a part and parcel of
tlie corporate limUs.ot Louisbarg,
is
nevertheless a fiee and independent
regiOn,and. Hs denizons pay tribute

One negroadtwo, the other one, and
notpneoirfe horses had any "eyes tor
to see S6on come up au old citizen
wittj-a smaii uoo taiieti steer nucnea to
a cedar cart. The steer added one more
eye to the party.
A brisk trade ensued. We looked
on with la "ieeiing interest. Banters
and offers werelreely made; finally the
trade was effected - by the steer man
giving a dry jaw hide as boot between
the steer and the three horses. We
thought he made a bad trade
: the raw
hide was worth more than
all the stock
together. : . The negroes chuckled over
their Euccess; the steer man that was,
but now the man of many horses, was
deligh'eJ; we, the spectators, were sat
isfied, and. a 11. quit the ground. In the
evening tire" Swappi rig 'was more lively
and the spectators more numerous.
The entire court and Bar were present
to witness the swapping. The Hud.
Josiali Turner was present, and catching
the infection, commenced a brisk trade
with a one eved man lor a pair of dun
colored eighteeu year old colts with no
eyes. The one eyed man .thought the
pair were wen worth f 20,bUt would take
$10. We dou't think Mr. Turner traded.
The swapping was continued through
the night and part of Wednesday. '
Aa institution known to Louisburg,
and one that never fails to delight nl
iaterest uc, is the large and elegant' puo-
lic dinners, gotten up by the ladies ior
the.beueht ot the Church on every

The diuner prepared by the ladies ol

dozen other leaks, it will lie found that
the best sale is a sale at home. However
we confess that we can't quite believe
tbe statement made to as bj a thriving
merchant that the street between his
store and tbe Court House on Saturdays
is as much blocked up with vehicles as
the corner of . Broadway and Wall
streets. - This may be true; but it is
tOUgh.. : ' ' ' :
' One circumstance, however, greatly
militates against the town, and it is a
t of J grievance readjily removable. 'Its prin-ses-
jcip'al 'hotel (we know nothing of the
smaller; sew one) is almost unendurable.
For instance, during Court week, when
if ever, the best foot; should be put fore
moit, lawyers upon arnving,were shown
Inta'rooins 'wltli poor bedstone pine
table, rough in the extreme, -one chair,
a bowl and pitcher. Rapid : and forci
ble language brought U3 a tumbler and
a glass 4x6 inches. The tumblers, how
ever, were. only, loaned and would be
snatched from the" room early in the
morning to grace the breakfast table.
There was enuugh upon the. table, and
a fair variety sometimes, but the cook
ing was and 'has long bVen execrable.
The bread would give an ostrich dys
pepsia. The stools, serving as chairs
tor some of the guests, would give an
earth-worm the back ache.
Every guest of the hotel, lawyers,
and mercantile men alike, were loud in
condemnation, . and justice demands
that their complaint be made public.
The owner of tbe hotel is abundantly
able to give Louisburg what she so
greatly needs; we hope that this will
assist him in being .willing.
A Deserved Compliment. A meet

And a lingering farewell we are compelled

Latest from Washington. By the un
derground railroad irom Washington,
we .received the following information
yesterday evening : Col. Samuel Car-
row surrenders his Marshaiship to Uol.
R. M. Douglas on the 10th of April. Col.
Carrow is to have the superintendence ot
erecting the Post Office building in this
city, the phits for which are now uemg
drawn, the building to cost $250,000.
The fight between Ool. Ike Young and
Wiley D. Jones, Esq., lor the office of
Revenue Collector la still ragiug with
much warmth, the chauces thought to
be-in favor of Col. Young. The latter
contest is creating much interest here
between the Iriends of the two parties.
A Remarkable Coincidence. It
will be remembered that about three
vears aso Or. Thaver's Great Southern
Circus "bursted" at High Point, in this
State, ami the eniire paraphanalia,
hoises, wagons,, teuta and all sold at
public auction. The band wagon was
bought by Messr?.' Lee, Hays & Co., of
this city. Oue pair of the white horses
that drew it was sold to a gentleman iu
Ch irlotte, and the' other to a gentleman
in Louishurg. The driver 'ot the wagon
went to Charleston. As badly scattered
as this lot seems to have been, we saw
the same white horses at their same old
position in the same Wagon, and the
same driver on the same boot, driving,
not the same band, but another band,
on the same streets as when Thayer
spread his canvass here all on yestcr

Tab Mbetikq Last Night Seven
Thousakd Dollars Raised Three
Thousand Dollars Mors Wanted.
An adjourned meeting of the citizens
was held at Metropolitan Hall last nigfit
Hon. Kemp P. Battle presiding, to heaf
the report of the different solicitidg
committees to raise tunds for the prose :
cution of the work upim the new Fair
Grounds. The auxiliary committee
appointed last week reported somethiug
over two thousand dollars raised7 tyy
them, making the subscription at pres
ent a little less than $7,00. i ,
. The Executive Committee stated that
they would not commence work until
$10,000 had been raised in the city, be
lieving that they could then obtain
enough outside aid to complete the un
dertaking upon the plans designed.
Various suggestions -were made as to
the best manner of raising the f 3,000
still wanted, but nothing definite deci
ded up. Mr. Pescud stated that, the
National Life Insurance Company, had
authorized him to sav that they would
loan the Society $5,C00 or, $10,000 fr.
certain considerations.
Mr. Kemp P. Battle explained that
the charter of the Society made it 'per-'
emptory upon the Executive Committee
to have annual exhibitions' that; it
they could not secure grounds at or near
Raleigh, they would be compelled to
hold it at some other place, or the char
ter would be forfeited. - ; :
ilr. C. M. Busbee said the Executive
Committee must act at once, as no. time
was to be lost. He felt a deep interest
in the matter, and he did not think tbe
citizens oi Raleigh had realized tbe dan-'
ger of losing the Fair. He moved that,
unless the requisite amount of money be

been a niisunderstanding between the
disaffected 'Liberals and Tory party.
The latter had given out to;seciirelhe
greatest amount of opposition, to the
University bill, that; its . defeat should
not occasion the accession of the Tories
to office, some - of the Conservative
leaders certainly rallied the hesitating
Liberals to oppose the bill on the assu
rance that the Tory Ministry would be
impossible," consequently' the leaders,
such as Lord Carnarvon Gatfrerne,
Hardy 'and: the Marquis. of 7 Salis
burg, resolutely ret used. ; to ;, ac

that.! the Tories will .reconsider . (heir
