A bill for the better collection of fines, forfeitures and penalties.pass ed its 3rd reading. A bill in regard to certain electors residing In the detached portion of Franklin from uranville county They are allowed to vote at the township in Franklin county. The judiciary committee here re ported adversely to the bill making final the jurisdiction of justices of the peace in certain cases. Mr. Dula advocated earnestl y the bill, which he claimed, would be of untold advantage in the way of sav ing of costs which almost in all cases when taken to the superior court the county had to meet. He re ferred particularly to cases of forni cation and adultery. This is a bet ter plan, in his opinion, than the bill that wtnt from this house. The justices should have jurisdiction of these petty larcenies, unable to pay fine or costs, they are sent to the jail for the county to support. He called upon the members to come up and sustain this great relief measure, a saving of an immense to amount the tax payers of our State, though a death blow to our lawyers. Mr. Stanford took isue with the pman viios nrs'iiim-nt wns "fallacious. If a thief was sent to Jail or the work house for thirty days as soon as he is out again lie goes at his old trade, plundering the honest people's houses of his section. As for the practice of my self, with such characters, it is altogether gratis. Since givingju rLsdiction to justices I can hear of more fighting than ever was heard of before. He denominated it a bill to encourage free fighting, also a bill to encourage stealing. the gentle man'sspeech is a good electioneering document for the gentleman. Mr. Dula denied that he had any such intention. In his county they could never reach the civil docket on account of these trivial cases blocking everything. He was in favor of the bill with the best mo tives. He had consulted with the different judges on this subject and among them was Judge Mitchell, and they were with singular unan- j imity in favor of this jurisdiction to justices. Mr. Xorment denounced t he bill, j In the meeting of the judiciary ! committee, a few moments ago, the J committee came to the unanimous ! conclusion that the bill was so ! mixed up that they could not un- I derstand it and it was a bill that I would confound the criminal law j to an interminable misunderstand ing. The gentleman stands here and sacrifices himself for the good of his constituents and the crime- over which he makes so littleare held in my county as one of the high- , est in the history of misdemeanors. ' Is our social system to be broken up if we are to keep up our social !'in this crime he mentions, iiiiim u-.: r,ut with full punish ment. The e:itleraan makes a wholesale sweep at the criminal law, now we are at the very eve of adjourning. This attempt to rush through this till convinces me that we should well weigh the objects before we pass it. Mr. Jordan. If the gentlem.in Mr. Dula, goes before his constitu ents, ana argues for this bill he will be withered to a crackling. I have never witnessed such an attempt with such a bill. It was an out rageous bill. Some ask why it is the Senate passed this bill then I , will answer them, they often do wrong and it is because by a wise provision of the constitution two houses of the Legislature were created one to check the other, and to-night this house will check the Senate in its error Ac, Mr. Reid of Mecklenburg, con tended that it was a good bill for the benefit of the people and his friends. The lawyers were opposed to the bill, and it was natural that they should be because it was not to their interests. What difference does it make whether criminals are in the penitentiary or confined in the counties, the latter have to pay Just the same for them. He there fore hoped the bill would pass. The previous question was de manded. The question occurred first on the amendments of the senate in which the house concurred. Yeas 73, nays 17. Mr. Gudger moved a reconsider ationsaid he voted ia the affirma tive for that purpose. He was sorry that the House had rushed this bill through mainly with a cry against the legal profession, and he here with entered his protest against the bill, which was nothing but a pre mium for crime. Mr. Jordan followed, denouncing the bill with gloves off, (the sections In it amending Battle's Revisal, which the said revisal did not con tain.) He warned gentlemen that it would yet bring the blush of shame to their cheeks. The motion to reconsider was htabled.

The president then addressed the senate as follows: Senators : This is probably the last time that I shall ever address you as the same body in this cham ber, as your legislation is now clos ed for your present term of service. I shall call the present senate to order no more, and in the course of human events it is not probable I that you will all meet here again as members ot the senate. If I live to return here to my seat, as president of the senate, on the third Monday of November next, it wouid be unreasonable to expect to meet all the members of the present senate in the next. The unceasing and resistless tide of time is hurrying us rapidly on ward to that unseen and unknown destiny from whence no traveller returns. Our sojourn here is onlv transitory, and we shall soon pass away and be forgotten. As public servants we snail be held accounta ble for our stewardship. Various acts have been passed, and they must necessarily be sub jected to the test of criticism and to the judgment of public opinion. If they are decided to be wise and necessary, you can reflect with pleasure in your retirement upon your legislative services. But whatever may be the decision of public opinion in relation to the wisdom and justice of your legisla tion, it will go before the great tri bunal of the people, and it will pass into the history of the times in which we live. Allow me, senators, to say in parting with you, in the language of Cardinal Wolsey to Cromwell "Be just, and fear not. Let all the ends thou aim'stat be thy coun- tirely, without, solicitation on my part and confess that I assumed its duties with misgivings and doubt. As I assured you in the beginning, I have endeavored to know neither party nor friend in the government of your body, and how faithful I have been to that pledge I will leave you to determine. North Carolina has need for the services of all her sons. Let us, in whatever sphere we may move in the future, continually keep her honor and prosperity in view. With my hearty thanks for the complimentary reso lutions adopted by you, I declare this house adjourned sine dii. Death the Subject Slave of Love Yo sav that love is strong as death ; Ye know not what ye speak. Shall love be as the feeble breath. The color on the cheek ? Stronger than death or woe or time Is he who rules abore, And through the storms of ages chime His own words, "God is love :" Death is tho snject slave of love ; -For love is God on high : Stronger than death, love rules above, Till Death himself shall die.

The judiciary committee, which had been considering the impeachment of Judge Watts, yesterday requested to be discharged from further consideration of the matter ; the charges preferred by Turner not having been sustained by a single witness examined, including those named in his paper. Write upon pages of a single size. Cross your T's and neatly dot your I's ; On one side only let your lines be seen ; Both sides filled up announce a Verdant ureen. Correct, yes, re-correct all that vou write, And let your ink be black, your paper white; For spongy foolscap of a muddy blue Betrays a mind of the same dismal hue. Punctuate carefull', for on this score Nothing proclaims tho practiced writer more. Then send itoff, and, less it merit la k, H,nclose the postage stamps to send it tack ; But lirst pay all the postago on it, too, For editors look black on "six cents due," And murmur, as they run the effusion o'er, "A shabby fellow a wretched bore." Yet ere it goes, take off a copy clean ; Poets should own a copying machine. Little they know the time that's spent, and care, In hunting verses vanished who knows where? Boar this in mind, observe it to tho end, And you shall make tho editor your friend. Excha n gc. THE IN REPUBLICAN PARTY NORTH CAROLINA. Platform.

We give below an extract from a letter addressed to us from Wash ington City. The writer is from western North Carolina and thor oughly informed on railroad mat ters. He says that capitalists have the fullest confidence in Col. Smith. Is it not a little strange, if Smith is such a dangerous man, that the North Carolina road would continue to elect him president of the road ? And is it not stranger still, that Judge Dick would appoint him re ceiver of the western road ? And stranger still that the people of the Raleigh district would elect him to Congress over as good a man as Sion H. Rogers ? Why this foolish and untimely opposition? WThy rouse all the prejudices of the land in the passage of a bill upon which depends the destiny of the people throughout Western North Carolina Will not a "sober second thought" induce a change of policy ! Here is the extract : "Smith says his Road, (theNorth Carolina Road) will not accept the bill so long as he is prescribed, or any reflections made against him in tne bill. We all know that the amendments were all put in the bill, either to defeat the building of theRond or to keep Smith from completing it. "I have had many interviews with railroad men, who proposed to put their money in the enterprise of completing our road, and they all say, without an exception, that Smith? is by far the best railroad man in the State, and the only man in the State with whom they would be willing to risk their money. Wm. A. Smith has many advanta ges, and can, without -any doubt, TIGHT. TITUS A. URIC K.

We whirled by tho terrible Saturn, Just grazing his lutninus rings ; I scornfully thought of that slatturn The Earth, with her pale moon and things !

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIV AFTERNOON SESSION. Mr. Speaker Robinson called the house to order at 2 p. m., in accord ance with the agreement of the morning session. No business was transacted. Mr. Robinson, the speaker or the house, in acknowleding his appre ciation for the kind and compli mentary resolutions adopted this morning spoke as follows : Gentlemen, of the house of repre sentatives, under the resolution of ! the two houses the term of this gen ! eral assembly expires to-day. We j leave here now and must answer to ' the people whose servants we are, for the wisdom or folly of the laws we have enacted and the measures of public importance inaugurated to simplify the laws of our state, and to enforce and cheapen its ad ministration should be and is the object of prudent legislators. To remedy grievances and for amend ing and strengthening the laws. The constitution affords the people's protection in frequent elections. Armed with this power and en lightened by truth through the me dium of a high-toned and patriotic press, the people will never fail to do right. In parting from you, gentlemen, I desire to express some measure of my appreciation for the com tesy and support I have received at your hands. I can say truth fully that I have received, as your presiding officer, the utmost respect and consideration from each indi vidual member of this house. I cherish none but feelings of friend ship and kindness for your entire body. I came into this chair en- The union of Felix and Fannie Mendelshon was something won derful, like the wonderful genius of sensibility and music which en dowed them both. Such pure, tender, and noble souls are made for each other. The more fervid and exacting bonds of marriage and parentage did not interfere with the firofound sympathy in which they ived, both when together or apart. Their emotions too deep and strange to be conveyed to the world, like articulate thoughts, they expressed in tones. Seating themselves at their instruments, they would for hours carry on an intercourse per fectly intelligible to each other, and more adequate and delicious than any ordinary vocal conversation. When Felix, at Naples, at Rome, or at London, sent to Fanny a let ter composed of notes, she transla ted it first with her eyes, and then with the piano. The most charm ing transcripts of these affectionate and musical souls were thus made in music. Sweeter or more divinely gifted beings have rarely appeared on this earth. Their relations of spirits were sensitive and organic, far beneath the reach of intellectual consciousness tidings through the etherial medium by some subtile telegraphy of feelings, which tran scends understandings and belongs to a miraculous region of life. For, when Fanny died, in her German home, Felix, among a happy com pany in London, suddenly aware of some terrible calamity irom tne disturbance of equilibrium and dread sinking of his sonl, rushed to the piano and poured out his an guish in an improvisation of wail ing and mysterious strains, which held the assembly spellbound and in tears. In a few days a letter reached him announcing that his sister had died at that very hour. On receiv ing the tidings, he uttered a shriek, and the shock was so great as to burst a blood vessel in his brain. Life had no charm potent enough to staunch and heal the cruel lacera tion left in his already failing frame by this sundering blow. The web of torn fibrils bled invisibly, and he followed his sjster to a world of faner melody, lined for natures like theirs. In the summer of 1871 there ar rived in New York city a German from the city of Becklinhausen, in Westphalia, in a state of most ab ject poverty. He gave his name as Louis Steenkopf, and said that he had been robbed of all his clothes on board of the immigrant ship. To aggravate his misery, he became affected with rheumatism, and wan dered about the streets of New York, famished and ragged. Final ly a humane countryman of his took pity on him and erot him ad mitted to the German hospital, whence poor Steenkopf was dis charged shortly afterward with on ly a few shillings in his pocket. He was again thrown upon the town in the dead of the hard winter of 1871-'72, and he soon was more miserable than ever. One day in the summer of 1872, bythat time having become a filthy and dis gusting beggar, hepiteously begged a policeman to have him sent to the Island. There he remained two months, when he suddenly receiv ed, through the German Consul, a letter with the enclosure of $300, and an urgent request to return to his German home. A few hours after the New York pauper visited a barbwr shop and a clothftig store, and was transformed into a gentle man, and the next steamer carried him back to the fatherland. Upon his arrival at Recklinhausen, Steen kopf found that two of his wealth iest relatives had died suddenly, and that he, their sole relative, who, a short time before, had begged alms in the streets of Now York, had all of a sudden, become possess ed of real estate and stocks valued! at one million two hundred thou- j sand thalers. A more singular and sudden revulsion of. fortune has j rarely occurred. Sunday Mercury. the nta.is(-s 'f classes the bencilts' of tion. ' ! 7.

There ii an Eastern story, which hr.s its ver sions in many languages, of a beau tiful damsel to whom a genius of surprising power desired to give a talisman, lie enjoined her to tako herself across a field of standing corn; she was to pluck the largest ear she could find, but she was to gather it as she went forward atid never pause in her path, or to step backward in the search of her ob ject. In propotion to the size and richness of the ear, so would be its power as a talisman. She went out upon her quest, says the legand, and entered upon the field. Many j tall stalk of surpassing excellence met her glance, but she still walk edonward expecting always to find one more excellent still. At last she reached a portion of the field whejre the crops were thinner ana the ears were stunted. She regretted the tall and graceful stalks she had left behind, but disdaining to pick those which fell so far be low what her ideas were of a per fect ear. But, alasl the stems grew more ragged and more scanty as she trod onward; on the margin of the field they were mildewed, and she had accomplished her walk through without having gathered any ear whatever. The genius re buked her fr her folly, but we are not told that he gave her an oppor tunity of retrieving her error. We may apply thi3 mystic little Indian fable to the realities of daily life. iJOTlCK IS HKKFHY (JIVFN. That a second general neeting of the qrod iters of Samuel A.
