RUSSKLL aN1 KITCIIKN.
Sometime ago, our member from this
District, in ii pointed speech in Uie
Record avowt'd th.it two DmocraL-i'at
in the House, one from Florula and
pne from North Carolina, who were
there by frauds of returning boards
Kussell came homa soon .after, and
5'Capt." Kitchen, who claims to be the
legal member from the Second District,
took occasion in. Russell's absence to
reply to his remark, and use some in
sulting language. ,
After' a while Knvsell reluriifd to hia
seat ami on the 14th of this month took
Kitchen! in hand, rising to a personal
explanation. If c Raye hiui a very h.c
Ttrc a'itigalion. After llussell closed,
Kitchen crazy mad jumped upfran
down into the alV-a fronting: the Hpeak
cr, and 'deadly pale, commenced"' to
aaw the air," scream, and almost
cur. ' As near as we can hnd out from
the Record, Kitchen made .as great an
hh of himself as hi ' - limited capacity
would permit. Jle transcended the
rules of the House, and 'the rules of
decency, and im ally ILussell turned the
faWesin him by a witticism, whicli sent

linal quietus W' Kitchen, as well as of
the fraud which ho. represents.

To un; Kdiiou of tiiI 1'uwx:
ince the first stone was dropped in
what hai become a great embankment
against the Ocean, a mile aiid-ji halfiin
length, tending to restore our oliTshin
ehauuel to iU former depth and emails
cipitating our commerce irom its severe
annual tax, I have watched the progress
of the great work with an', interest
almost personal, f was aware thnt it
was considered by the Engineer De
partment iiHha nature of a problem to
be solved and that there were
grave

doubts as to iis suece.8 anion- the ablest

positiyc reality.
During Ias;t week, in Vcomp;iny with
Mr. George Z. "French, the present coh-

labor has been -" performed New, inlet.-

Far outside is seen a while line of
breakers, knowu a.s the Carolina reefs,
which are constantly shallowing from
the elleetH of closinsr New Inlet, At
low tide these hal low- can be walked
upon and it is estimated . that thc ulti

near the old Confederate mound battery
in a southeasterly direction to Smith's

we may begin to iook for a time near a
hand when a drive way or a railroad
will be open from Wilmington to Bald
Head, where iu its hatural features will
be open one of the most magnificent
beach C3 and summer resorts on the
Atlantic coast. "v
In the meantime a great ship channel
Jiooi. Wilmington to Bald Head will be
open, admitting vessels drawing at least
. ' iwent y feet of wale coming ' straight
along the old ship iptarinel.' T Jheri tliefe Democrats irt 'Coogr$sa'i!cli . will re

its unequal , advantagts, .What pros- J

these dreary years of' the time when
she would welcome the commerce of

If -.'ought to be mentioned that the

"ocw.irtl Channel" will have to be
liedg.d' for some year , a will . also

be takf-u out further up the river. . It
may be several years before the whole
volume of the Cape Fear will roll to the
Ocean, and the channels kept in con-
dition without the paternal attention of
the government.' It ha been a fortu-
nate circumstance that in all these year3
the mercantile element of this cit v has
be ii a unit in favor of t.U imnrovo-
unni. They have almost as one man J
st 01 by the appropriations; often ap-
pearing before the committees of Con-
grt-ss by their agents and always by
their 'leiral renresentatives. and the
oHk-i members from the state.
I5;il it must bo said that the city and
the t'ape Fear region is more indebted
to .Senator Kunsom for the appropria
tions Vmee the year 1872 than to any
other num. Always alert, always in
dus'lriously attentive, he has never
failed 'to wield his high influence in the
'Senate in favor of this portion of his
eonstiluency. Several times the ap-
p ro p i i a t hj n s h a vo co m e from the House
to the Senate at an iusiguificent figure,
to be rescued by the - adroitness and
iudefatigabilily and. personal1 influence
of Senator Ransom. It was especially
so in this late appropriation where it
came from the House at the small suni
of $25,000, but came out of the con
ferenee con!!mittee of which Gen.
liasisoui was chairman; we think, with
the sum of $100,000., enough to com
