Mr. Ellis, of Columbus, moved

was postponed
until the resolution under consider
ation was disposed of. I
Mr. Goodwyn advocated the
passage of the resolution. He
was proud of the Indian policy of
government, and was willing and
anxious to endorse the administra
tion in that particular. j
Mr. -Rhodes said the resolution
was simply one of instruction to
our representatives. it is well
known that Gen. Grant, has been
trving for four vears to civilize and
christianize the Indians. This res
olution is simply an endorsement
of that policy. , j
Mr. Jones, of Caldwell, reiterated
his objections to the resolution; and
tated that he really did not know
what the policy of the government
is toward the Indians.
Mr. Brown, of Davidson, suppor
ted the resolution. It was not a
political matter,4 and should not be
so considered.
Mr. Waugh said that he
had been
a' member of the Legislature) for 12
vears, and he had always voted in
the negative when he did not know
what he was voting for. He did
not know what the Indian policy
of Gen. Grant is. He advised the
gentleman from Davidson to fol
low his example.
3Ir. Darden said that he had no
idea that the resolution under dis
cussion would elicit such a lengthy
debate that it was simply a reso
lution of request to Congress! to ad
here to the plighted faith and honor
ofcthe government ; and approving
of the policy inaugurated by the
President in the management of the
Indians. He thought the discussion
had gone on long enough, and there
fore called the previous qustion on
the passage of the resolution
The call was sustained, arid, the
motion to indefinitely postpone was
lost yeas 44 nays ou.
The question recurred upon the
motion tof postpoue until Wednes

A farmer's wit: At the last Border
Fair in Danville (Va.) which rather
looked like a failure, the executive com
mitteo as usual met in th basement of
the Methodist church. Mr. T. B. Doe
of Danville objected to any more meet
inzs in that place. lie noticed that once
every year they got up camp meetings
in that basement and then went home
and fell from arace. In the future ho
was for meeting in some good old Bap
tist church.
Stirring tho soil : Every observant
farmer must have noticed the crust
which forms on the surface of newly
stirred soil after lying a few da3's to
tho action of the dew3. A much heav
ier crust is formed by each shower of
rain that falls. Good and successful cul
tivation requires that this newly-formed
crust be often and repeatedly broken
by the hoe, harrow, or other means.
A. striking instance in proof of this
fact has just been stated by an exten
sive larmer. lie planted a neia oi
broom corn, and, by way of banter, told
the man who assisted him that each
should choose a row as nearly alike as
possible, and each should hoe his row,
and the measured amount of crop on
each should be the proof of which was
hoed best. Our informant stated the
result in substance as follows : " Deter
mined not to be beaten, I hoed my row,
well, once a week the summer through.
I had not seen ir.y assistant hoe his at
all, but had observed that for a long
time he was up in the morning before
mo. At length I found him before su-n-
rise, hoeing in oroom corn, ana j. as-
ed him how often be hoed it; he an
swered, 'once a day, regularly.' The
result of tho experiment was, his row
beat mine by nearly double the

There is plenty of the good old Eng

The McCauIay family now in Orange
county came from the top of the pot.
William McCanlay was the lirst that
came from England into that county.
lie was very popular in Orange, so
much so, that he once ran for the legis
lature and got every vote in the county
save one, and that one he advertised to
givo ten pounds for, if the man would
just come to him and show him his face.
William afterwards returned to Eng
land and brought back with him his
brother Matthew. He got him on board
the ship that brought them over in a
hogshead marked " Rum." And after
he got the hogshead on the ship, he
knocked the head in, and let his brother
out And Matthew was afterwards a
gallant American officer in the old rev
olution. The Mr. McCauIeys who now
live m urange are poor men, but you

The Asheville Citizen pronounces in
famously false that it has been bought
up by the Western Railroad. The
Tarboro Southerner says in reference to
the recent Vance letter : With all due
deference to Gov. Vance we venture to
express the opinion that he could have
added to his reputation by following the
example of Senator Merrimon- that is,
keeping quiet. The Newbern Times
has an editorial on the Agricultural
liege. -The Battleboro Advance is
writing about Labor and says to the
planter: Fair wages, comfortable
houses and kind treatment are neces
sary. lhe l-ranklin Courier has an
article on Emigration and says that dur
ing last month alone at Company Shops
c::e hundred and twelve tickets were
sold to emigrants going West.- The
Wilmiugton rost has an article on the
Superintendent of Public Instiuction
and declares itself satisfied with Mr.
Battle's appointment if Mr. B. will fully
appreciate ths changed condition of
affairs and govern himself accordingly.
-The Wilmington Star has an edito
rial cn the Importance of Vaccination.
-The Elizabeth Ci'y Carolinian has
an article headed Come to North Caro
lina, and tells the young men that the
old Bourbons and the old fogies no
longer rule here but their wrecks lay
along the beach like the hulks of old
ships. The Fayeitcville Eagle speak
ing of the Vance letter calls it " very
imprudent and uncalled for," and
shows more " rash anger and vindic-
tiveness than it supposed Gov. Vance
was capable of." The Asheville Pio
neer in an article, Shall We have a Con
vention? says that Gov. Caldwell has
stopped the building of the rail road
from Old Fort and that his chief adviser
is V. i. omiiu, wno, mai paper
styles a yankee lawyer, as if that would
hurt Mr. Smith. The Winston Re
publican is on the School Law and hopes
the legislature will so amend the law
that every child in North Carolina,
without any restriction, may be allowed j
to attend the public schools. i
