HaWOod, for o pamphlnt of one hundred and twenty-nine pages, containing his argument for the Plarti liil in the Ciie ot Blount m. Windley, in the Supreme Court ot North Caroli na, at January Term 1873. We have not had time to examine the argument,' but have heard it spoken ot as one -ot Col. Haywood's ablest efforts at the bar. The author enjoys the reputation ot being one of the most le rued and profound lawyers in the State. ' , We have one criticism to make of his pampLlet, ami that is this : It is prin ted by Turnbull Brothers in Baltimore. We have printing offices in our city that can do the same iob as neatly in everv respect as the one belore us, ana we believe us cheaply perhaps at a less pi ice ; Tl tli woik had been executed in Raleinh.-the learned- -author would have had fie advantage of attending to his nrooi'-sheets more closely, and would not have been under, the necessity of makiiH' the twentv-four corrections of typographical errors with his peucil. Sanitary. We reypectluuy urge nnon our Board of Citv Commissioners the necessity of inaugurating prompt sanitary measures. In many portions ot the citv the streets and back-yards are in a very filthy condition. If mat ters are not remedied before the hot weather eome9 on we may expect a good deal of sickness in our midst. We hope our authorities will attend to this at Vnce'to this matter. We appealto them by every consideration of humani ty to take nrjiimt and vigorous meas ures, and to enforce our appeal we ap pend the following tender and touching lines, cooied from the lucubrations of a Missouri ooetess in the St. Louis Demo ci'tit ; 'Go see what I have sawn, Go feel what I have lelt. Go oat at early dawn, And smell what I have smelt." The Visit of Mis3 Bacon.

She was called 0:1 yesterday by many of our best citi z us, and visited the public schools, the 1). af.

The Milton Chronicle, in is last issue, has the following in regard to the finder of the treasure at the Yarborough Hotel : "Nathan Field, the negro who found the lortune in Raleigh, is a waiter in the Yarboro House dining hall. Mr. Par- ham. the Dooular steward, values him as one of his best servants. Nathan is always in his clean apron and white jacket and is one of the best and most obedieut or servants. lie is as quiet as a lamb, never told a lie, and never med dles with anv bodv's business but his own. The morning he found this fortune his good angel led him to it bythe sim ple dropping of a watch key through a creek in the floor of the old house. He stooped down to pick up the key and his hand took right hold of the old bundle that has made him a rich man. He was asked that morning at the table and he was so much agitated he could hardly hand steady a cup of coffee: "Nathan, what is it you nave done good that nobody knows anything of except your God ?" "I dun no, boss," replied Nathan, "but 1 believe in & prar once and awhile." Another point of Nathaa's is : He is faithful and devoted to his wife tho' many miles apart they be. He is 45 years old. Let us all try and imitate Nathan Field in his hum ble and honest lile and we may find a fortune. The amount he has deposited in bank is over eif. ht thousand dollars." Postoffices Established. The Postmaster General has established the following new postoffices in this State : Bethel Hill, Person county. Chestnut Hill, Ashe county. Mill Point, Carteret county. Snatchville, Duplin county. Waruersford, Ashe county. i The postoffice at Pungo Creek, Beau fort county, has be re-established. Big Onions. Our venerable friend D. C.

R., gave an invitation to the Press Association, which adjourn ed in Goldsboro on Thursday last, to visit the sea coast. The invitation was duly accepted, and at 4 o'clock of the same evening Capt. Loftin, the clever and wholesouled conductor of the train, biowed his horn, and soon the Press gang of the State were rapidly speeding away tothe seashore. As we did not take notes, (and what editor that had been doing any work at home could, under the circumstances ?) we cannot give the names of the party on board, but a jollier set of editors never mingled together. All were bent on pleasure and recreation ; business and its many cares were left at home, and every man "making up his mind to take things a3 they came" and to enjoy the few hours of respite as best they could. We would be pleased to write up many amusing incidents that occurred on the trip to Beaufort, but our space forbids. Not only that, but Hannalord, of the Magnolia Monitor, is too clever; Mann, of the Wilmington JW, , too large; Spelman, of the JSe.itinel,loo near, to tell the good things on them' espe cially. Arriving at Newbern we received a valuable reinforcement of steam power, (Nason of the Reptu'ilic-Courier brought it on board in two demijohns.) The heat became too great in the boiler, and at the wharl at Beaulort,Man ning, of the Roanoke Neics, was sent out to reconnoitre for water. He found it, at the larther end of the gang plank from shore, about four feet deep, meas uring from the head towards ; the heels. His beaver floated on the water like a thing of life but he recovered it in very cjood order. Luckily he had a dry suit in his valise. ' - ' At the Ocean House, Beaufort, the party were hospitably received by that prince of landlords, Street, whose repu tation as a hotelist is known by all vis itors to the sea coast. A good supper was in waiting and all partook. After brcaktast next morning, Capt. Stephen Turner, an "old tar" that is noted at all times for being "cool, calm aad deliberate," invited the entire party to his boats, the'Ttobert E. Lee," 4 -Ella," "Gertrude" and and the "City of Beau fort," for an excursion on the Bay to Fort Macon, down to the banks, and out on the ocean. In our boat the "Ella" (we chose this on account of the name,) was a jovial party of six, not counting Charlotte, (Geo. W.) who was on that occasion good for two. He was the engineer, and brought his own steam aboard. Messrs. Lambeth & Son, the wholesale produce merchants and fish dealers, sent us also some supplies in this line. They were good (so Hannaford and Nason said,) and, on motion of Biggs, of the Tarbo- ro Southerner, the thanks of the party werH rrrncu 10 iuessrs. uei). . OlinllUlitV, vr ' " J V. X Messrs. Lambeth & Son. The party, after visiting several points of interest in the bay, landed at Fort Macon where a full inspection of the defences were made. As a matter of course everything was in "apple pie" order, the officers clever, obliging and accommodating, our . reception courte ous and kind and all left satisfied. While at Fort Macon we were taken in charge by Mr. E. O. Noe,who is fitting up a Club House and Restaurant lor the accommodation ol Summer visitors. He gave us a taste of his quality and we can recommcnt his house to all whose pleasure it will be this Summer to vis it Fort Macon The alternoon we spent nsuing on the Banks, and had ouly "tolerable good luck." Biggs,! of the Southerner, is not a success as a fisherman. Manning, of the Weldon News, Jwould never make a for tune at it and as for us, we wouli rather trv our hand at something else. We sincerely recret that our fishing frnlic ri evented us from spending Fri day night in Newbern, where a majori ty of the Press were entertained by the 1. ! . .

J. Brother Wilson, the great temperance oracle of jth.c Kinston Gazette, left GolJsboro with us, and while we had his assistance all was well, but at Kin ston, he "fell by the way-side," and all the trouble and responsibility fell on our shoulders. It was more than we could bear, and as above stated, we don't hanker after another such trip soon. j ' Sunday. The day was clear and beautiful, peace order and quiet, reigned throughout the city, and "our church-going c'tizens were out in full O force. There was( no change in any of the pulpits of the city except at the Eden- ton Street Methodist Episcopal church, which wa3 occupied by the Rev. Mr. Trimmer in the absence of the regular pastor, Rev. Mr. Mangum. It wa3 our pleasure to hear the excellent discourse of this young Divine, which was in full accord with bis grow ing reputation in our city.. His subject " i he Transfiguration of Christ" was one of striking interest and his large Congre gation seemed deeply affected by the beautiful similes drawn and his pleas aut delivery and elocution. At night he preaclteiat the Person street church where, at an early hour, every seat was tilled and many came and went away, not being able to obtain admittance.

A lull and prompt attendance u earnestly desired AILY TUESDAY MORNING. MECHANICS AND LABORERS STRIKE. THE TEN HOUR SYSTEM MANDED. DE- EMPLOYERS "CANT SEE IT." All Building Operations Suspended. MECHANICS MEETING CALLED FOR TO-NIGHT. All Quiet On the Lines at Midnight. At an early hour yesterday morning. the streets were lined with loafing bands ot colored mechanics and laborers, a scene somewhat unusual for Monday morning, and a3 a consequence much cu riosity was manifested by reporters, especially, as to the cause. It was soon ascertained that a general strike of the mechanics and laboring men of both colors was at hand. As a matter of course some little excitement was created on the streets and at the various workshops, brick-yards, quarries, &c, the excitement was still greater. An attempt to INTERVIEW THE STRIKERS proved unavailing as to their expecta tions. They only spoke of the all day system as unjust and would not again go to work unless'the employers would agree to ax strict ten hour rule. Em ployers showed no signs of effecting even a compromise till about 11 o'clock when a colored man by the name of Bishop, a boss cellar digger, who em ployed about twenty hands, gave in. called his hands together and agreed to their demand for the TEN HOUR SYSTEM. . The action of .Bishop spread like wild-fire over the city, and at 12 o'clock all the laborers, (save a few honorable exceptions,) who had not participated in the morning strike, joined in and work ceased on not less than seventy five buildings in process of erection. At this hour, the large number of hands engaged on the work of the Yarboro ions struck, and for the first time in our neighborhood matters wore A GLOOMY APPEARANCE. We visited other point3, and lound no work going on. The- largest shops n the city, Messrs. Betts, Allen & Co., T. 11. Briggs & Co., D. L. Royster, the Tupper Manufacturing Company and others, are at a stand-still. All ot the above named proprietors have positively REFUSED. TO ACCEDE TO THE DEMAND of the strikers, and as they are men of means aud have already received eu couragement from parties with whom they have time contracts with, it is reas onable to suppose. U& Ta'Asl"aeihic ine at a general strike in our city. We learn that Mr. Tupper has already sent on North lor a sufficient number of workmen to carry on- nis work, rather than to succumb to the demand of his laborers. At 8 o'clock last eveniug the ringing of the County bell announced a GENERAL MEETING AT THE COURT nOUSE which was largely atiended, both colors participating, though a large majority were colored. H. C. Jones col, moved to organize the meeting by calling J. P. Prairie to the Chair. A colored man by the name of Spen cer was called to state the object of the meeting. He said that the meeting was called to establish a system of labor for the workingmen of Raleigh ; that Ral eigh was the only city that was now unprotected by an organization of workingmen and the workingmen were now here present for organization. Hie President stated that a secretary was necessary to complete the organi zation, when Taylor, Esq., was called to the posstion. Calls were made on several present, when Henry Iveith, Esq., responded. He said he was not in full sympathy with those who calied tlm meeting. He was unwilling to go back on men and play a snatch game with those who had been friends to the workingmen and mechanics, He thought there was intriguing going on by false leaders who were not willing to ccme out in the open daylight. He said he knew there was a large quantity ot work now going on in the citv. much ot it, was now nromised at a certain time. He knew that the walls ot the Yarbrough Ilouse, uoon which nearly forty lianas wtre this morning at work, would be wrap pedup to-morrow and thus remain tor four months before that contractor w ould ield one iota to the demands of men who he believed were led on by de signing parties, who had no interest in the welfare of the workingmen He asked if the workingmen present were prepared to stand a siege of this Umnntrsr fnroa rf pq I vca t VPS I tnl lowed by hisses from the colored side of the house and applause trcm the whites.) He stated tnat as a mechanic, he . haci a right to speak and from all respectable men a decent hearing and would not, be hissed down. After an eloquent appeal to the me chanics present to desist from the mad attempt to coerce their trud friends, the contractors, into measures distastelul to them, concluded. H. C. Jones, colored, followed Mr. Krith in support ot the objects of the meeting, viz : immediate action to force contractors into the ten hour system ot work. A resolution was adopted -appointing a committee of five to draft lesolutions for a regular order of business. James C. Gorman, James H. Jones, n. C." Jones, Patrick McGowan and Haywood Spencer were appointed as said committee, Steward Ellison, colored, next called out. He was for the strike; he thought now was the time for action. He told his friends they, need not fear that con tractors would be able to employ work men elsewhere. Altera general disser tation on labor, the price, &c., what it should be, he closed by counselling the workmen to stand by the strike. Sews MAY 20. 1873. The committee returned and reported the following resolution : Resolved, That we, the mechanics ot Raleigh, think that ten hours per day is a sufficient length ot time for men to work, and are determined to work no longer during the summer or fall months, and as for wages, let each man make his terms with his employer. Adopted. Gen. Willie D. Jones was called out, and in a speech on labor, advocated the the ten hour system of labor faithfully performed. He knew noth ing of the differences now existing be tween the laborer, mechanic and the contractor, and did not propose to say anything to interfere. An attempt was made to adjourn, when the same man Spencer took the floor and made a terrible speech against Henry Keith, T. II. Briggs, Weir & Hamil and other Contractors. He thought it was now time that the la boring men proceed to impeach Mr. Briggs who for a long time has occupied the position of President of the Raleigh Mechanics. Mr. Keith re plied to the severe strictures of the man Spencer on Mr. Briggs and other con tractors who are known as high toned gentlemen in the community. In his speech Mr. Keith was frequently inter rupted by hisses from the colored side ot the house, and cries ot ten hours! &c. &c. As will be seen by advertisement, un der the hea ot our Special City Items, a meeting of the Mechanics is called at the Court House to-night. So farbut little excitement, other than that which would necessarily occur by the cessation of work and the general loafing of the laborers, has occurred. At the latest moment before we goto press the opposing parties remain stead fast in their determination, but the gen eral impression is the laborers, with a large number of the colored mechanics, -re unable to stand the siege. We learn that three of, Betts, Allen & Co. 'a color ed laborersiapplied last evening to be reinstated from the fact that rations were scarce at home ' Meeting of the Board of County Commissioners. Under the require ments of the State revenue law, the Board pf County Commissioners held a meeting in this city yesterday to hear aiid determine complaints in regard to the tax lists. Messrs. R. W. Wynne, II. C. Jones, Wm. Jinks and Samuel Raycer, Commissioners, were present. No complaints were brought before' the Board. ; Messrs. G. W. Wilder, Drury Partin and R. B. Saunders Were appointed a Committee to let out the contract for the building or repairing of the bridge across Crabtree Creek, near the farm of Major Manly. In this connection it may be proper to say, that that the Sheriff has not yet settled for the county taxes for 1872, Wynne, has instituted suit onihe oona, though the notices have not yet been served. The full amount of taxes due is some $7,000, including State and County capitation tax for 1871-72. The Board Will be m session to-day and to-morrow to hear questions arising from the tax lists.

The Chronic State of Affairs in South America. ; Panama, May ath. Ex-President Conroeso arrived in Panama on the 6th from Costa Rico. The revolution which has slumbered since President Miro was banished has broken out. The evening following the arrival of Ex-Pres. Conrossa he convened a meet ing declaring the national troops, who were placed here for the protection of foreigners, as acting treasonably to the General Government, as well as .to the' State, by interfering in the late revolt which deposed Miro and expressed his intention ot disarming and compelling them to leave the State on to:morrow at 1:30 o'clock, p. m. . . . . s. On the 7th the fighting, with shell and small shot, commenced . in Plazo San Jose by the State troops' advancing upon the national troops. After a des perate fight ot two hours ' the former were repulsed. , ., Both sides claim they attacked for safety. The fighting continued with slight intermission until 9 o'clock p. in., when Conrossa signified his desire of a Consuls meeting to arrange some plan for peace, but they refused , to interfere. A United States steamer and the flagship Pensacola, with Rear Admiral' Stead- man, arrived in the bay daring the afternoon, and foreigners are protected at the American Consulate by fifty men from the United States steamers Pensa cola and Tuscarora, and 150 men ' irom the ships guard . the property of , the Panama Railroad, which has, not yet been molested. At daybreak this morning' the fireing was reopened and continued with slight intermission until -10 . o'clock. when a truce was agreed upon. Con rossa Arrago for the State is to ar range terms of peace with Miro. There is a rumor afloat that similiar coupt de etats to the late . one here, bad taken place in Bogota, and that President Muerills and his Secretary were prisoners. This , however, needs confirmation. The limit question with Venezuela .seems for the, present to antl"Wfef ad'ossuf ot the national forces were killed and a Colonel and Lieuten ant Colonel were wounded. . President Cerevera is wounded, it is .impossible to give the number of killed and woun- ded at this time. - Such.ot the residents who - have not availed themselves oi. the. men-of-war have fled from th$ city and are in am bush. President Miro,' since' his ban ishment, has issued an add t ess to the national government calling, lor inter ference, not for the purpose, of reinsta--tiog himself, but the dynasty' of the State. ' ' " ' ' ; -.-''. LATERE ' 1 : H May 9Conrossa states that the ne gotiations have ended.satisfactQrily, and the trouble is over. Both sides have des ignated Col. Juan Peryit, aformer Pre lect ot color, as Provisional 'President until General Miro can" be recalled- Another account from Panama says that a half dozen men were killed in the fiaht. The citizens now feel secure un- der the protection of the United States troops. Admiral Bteaaman,' aa wen as the .officers in charge ol the guards sta tioned on shore, have.acted in the no blest manner. They do their duty cool ly and with prudent firmnesj, but with out offending either aide. iThe 'basia of the peace talked of is the restoration of the government ot President Miro, , Jt is hard to predict how the aflalrtnay end.
