Senator Eaton, of ()onneclicut, has int reduced a resolution, which is a step in the riiibt direction. It looks to a more explioit definition of the rights of citizens to immunity from sudden seiz uie and iccarcei at ion, without due wr raut of law, by ' detectives." I lie President has approved Mr. Say ler'a iesolution for the extension of the time for withdraw in j wh'skey from bond. A KadYjl journal in Illinois, asrt- ingthat Mr. Voeibm h:s failed tocreate a ikeusjttion i:i the "senate, says mat me backw.xHls oratory of tbe Wabash sings mall in the chastening atmosphere of the Senate." Now, Senator oorhees certaiuly hit male his mark by his great speech ou tho silver question, but ii( object, iu quoting the above, is sim ply to fix a peg upon which t hang a thought, which is this: My ideas as to the real aud geuuiue usefulness and efliciency of a member of Congress, have been entirely, changed, as the result of sojourn and observation in Washington. Tue time was when I shared the popular opinion, tbat much talking on tbe tloor of Cougiesa, aud tbe frequent recur rence oi a member's uame iu the Rtetrd, constituted an accurate measurement of his stal-M aud iuflueuce. Never was theie a greater fallacy. I do not saean to uuder-iate the importance of oratori cal aptitudes on a most valuable adjuuet to public usefulness, but this I do know, that high m ual qualities, practical judgment, conscientiousness and dili ireucw in the discharge of duty, and dig nity of de'xrtment and character, give . tl. wwia alav t T v ksi i f i i vrs n tf) the widest range of efficiency in. as well aor of. Congress, And fortunate it is, that such i tbe case, that trtfriA, and not rir,d, should be the gauge or uefulnesi. Ovar the entrance to the old Hall of the House of Kepresentativea, (now known a Statuary Hall,) there is alarg aud beautiful model of a clock a ad a statu of tbe Muse of History, symbolic of the passage of time and the reoord inj of the doings of th House aa histo ry. Clio is represented in a car, with pen and tablet in baud, looking down upon the actors below. The wheel of the car forms the dial of the clock, and its hands note the flight of time. The whole design is chaste and classic. The sight of it recalls a memorable speech of John ljuincy Adams on a resolution oUerea uy air. tvereti, user than fftrty years ago, for the purchase, by Cougress of a number of volumes of Galen Jc Seaton's debates. "Sir," said Mr. Adams, "what is the meaning of that beautiful marble statue over your clock, at the entrance of this Hall? It is the Muse of History in her car, look- incr down upon the members of this House, and leruioding them that, as the hour passes, she is in the attitude of recording whatever they say or do upon this floor, an admonition well worthy of being remembered. The reporters at the sides and in the rear ef your rh.-vir are the scribes of that Muse of History; and this publication, for which the resolution before you pro poses a subscription, is tbe real, I might sav the livintr rerord of tbat historic Muse." The resolution was passed, and posterity thanks those to whom we are indebted for these admirable and valua ble Debates." Th action of th Stat Executive Committee, in fixiugthe tisae and place for the assembling of our Stat Conven tion, meets the warm approval of all our friends here. The sevcestion of appropriate legislation, by Congress, to validate the election of members of Con eress in November, held under the ex isting Legislative machinery, is very timely. Such legislation, doubtless, ean be had. and that will settl all uncer tainties and doubts in the premises, whether they be well-founded or not. Certa nly. there is much division of op nion on the subject. Hon. N . Li. Steele hss gone horn, on a ten day's leave of absence, on accouut of sickucss. Chief-Justice W. N. H. Smith was on the lloor of the House, this morning. Mr. rnith, you will remember, cam ithiu one vote of being elected Speaker of tbe 36th Congress. There are, at present, in the Houso, but two mem bers who served with him at that time. "Sunset" Cox and Mr. Bingletoo, or Mississippi. Conkline and Dawes, of the Seuate. were in the House at th same period. The war-news from Europe, as you will have seen, is of a threatening char acter. The resignation of Lord Derby, and the utterances of Lord Beacons field, coupled with the activity in Brit ish Navv lards, the calling out ot tno Reserves, and the fact that English agents are in this country purchasing larire numbers of horses, point to the imminence of an Aonlo-Kuiso war -complicating, possibly, other national itieB. Tbe crisis is regarded as a most crave one here in official circles. . u. Jndge The. J. Wilson. To the Editor of the New. 8iB: I learn from tho action of the State Executive Committee that tba Judicial Districts, in which there are to be vacancies, are requested to recom mend candiSaUi to the Bute Conven tion for the office of Judge, of their respective districts. This is exactly as it should be ; aud I presume that the several conventions will carry out in letter and spirit, the resolution of the Btato Committee and that in so doing they will bring the very best men of each district before the State Conven tion to be held in Raleigh on the 13th of June. There la, I think, no distrct in tbe State provided with more or bett r mateiial for Judges than tbe seventL. Wilson, CUmeotGraTes and others would adorn the Judicial crimine of any State. The names of the three mer tioned will doubtless be before the Raleigh Convention; and without de tracting in the least from the pre-euii nent qualification of the last two, the claims of the first named teem to me to overshadow those of all others. A few years ao, under an act of a Democrat ic Legislature, ordering an election in kid distvirt- be was uromoted. by au overwhelming majority to the Bench in the place of that Judicial oddity and mo.t remarkame cuiiobut mated nature. Judge Cloha. in ani- j JnJe Wilson surrendered a large and lucrative practice, and role the ciicuit uutil he was ousted by the Supreme Court, and the will of the peo p'e was crushed out in the reiustaluunt f Cloud. I will not attempt to Muote the classic lauguag of the jub:la: t Cloud, commencing with, '-Tiiai, now !" and ending with, "Ain't Wilson playud II I but simply state tho re sult ofhe Judge's reliance upon a Dem ocratic legislative construction of the Cauby Constitution, and of his obili ence to the behest of bis party.

Halifax, N. C. March 27th 1STS. To the Editor of the Xeve : Sir- I see your correspondent H., from this place, fiars that the endorse ment and recommendation of Judge Schenck for the nomination ot t uii Justice of the Supreme Court, by our county convention on the 23d iu?t., has caused a split in the Democratic party of Halifax county. Your correspondent very much mistakeu if he thinks so. The Democratic party oi naiuux couu- ty is not made up of such sol t materiai opinion as to lei a smau u uu.uv. entertained by gentlemen for personal friends cause a split, not a on oi it.

And it is to bo attributed to their skill and vigilance, rather than local knowledge of the coast. The North Carolina coast is not naturally more dangerous than any other, and its navigation is no more difficult. The ap- nlieatiou of steam, and the multiplica tion of the improved sciences of naviga tion have produced a large crop of theo retical sailors, who rely too much upon their smattering of scientific navigation to the exclusion ot tho practical m trie nautical. Compasses vary, chronome ters get out of older, cluiuly weather and the want of correct ooscrvauous reudei nautical instruments and c'larts unreliable, but the lean-line never errs.

GLLF SThKAM AND WEATHEn SIGNAL STATION. Tho only whale fishery along our coast is located near Cape Lookout, about ten miles from Beaufort. Here within the past few years many whales have beeu taken in the cove aud lauded on the beach, where they are out up and made iuto oil, which always com mands a good price. This whale iisu ing has proven quits remuuerativo. Only the other day a whale was taken ineasuriuz some forty feet, and yielding twenty barrels of oil, which brought forty-one ceuts per gallon ou the beach, beside bone. The gulf stream com ft within thirty miles of the Cape; from Hattnras it is only twenty, and it is supposed that the proximity of the gulf stream, which whales are said never to cross, and the peculiar conformation of the bhore is what brings whales info the cove at Lookout. A United States weather signal s'taion is located at Cape Lookout. The statiou was established in 1876, and is in charge of Sargeant, Beutou Beilville, of New Jersey, assis ted by Thomas Jones, of St. Loui bo'.h expert clerks of the weather, ana telegraph operators. The station is connected by telegraph with the chief weather office at Washington by lines running along the beach to Fortress Monroe, Noith, and Wilmington South. From here reports of the weather are . r , - 1- nai.srmtted eveiy iew nours iroin oo- servatiou taken throughout the day or nitrht. The velocity of the wind is constantly noted by an e'ectric .mJ. ohme called the anemometer, and fiom its record is ascertained that the wind blew 13,602 miles past Cape Lookout in January, and 11,221 during ebiuary. It was registering l miles per nour at 3 o'clock on Tuesday the Jbth inst. Tin; greatest velocity yet recorded there was 120 miles per" hour. This sijrnal station is one of great importance to the government, and commerce at large, and should by all means be supplemented with a lite saving sutnou. LIGHT HOUSE, LIFE-SAVING STATION AND HAIIBOR LIGHTS. Cape Lookout Light House is situated . 1 . . i a Tu . in Carteret couuty, ana is one oi iuo finest, as it is one of the most important lights on the coast. The light was first established here in 1612 ; light-house rebuilt iu ISo'J, aud a new one erected in 1367. It stands 63 miles South westerly from Cape Hatteras, in lati tude 34 37' 1(5" and 70- 31' 28"; height 130 feet above sea-level, light visible twenty miles at sea, aud has been seen fifty miles. The keeper is Melviu J. Davis: Assistants, Josephus willisana Jos. B. Whitehurst, all of the county. The government has declared this in tention of establishing a life-saviDg sta tion at Capt-Lookout, and Congress man Waddell is working in that be half. He should also have re-eelablish-ed the range harbor lights at Fort Ma con, so that vessels might come in from sea at night, as well for commerce as refuge from storm. The beacon and light house here were destroyed during tho war. SAII.IN'i; IiOATS OF THE HARBOH.

Of simple aud frugal h lints, their wants are not many. The general average of industry is better than in most sections. In town there are fewer drones or loafers. Every one is expect ed to be swli'-sutaiuiug. No one goes huii,r.y, for men, women and children can alike repair to the oyster-rocks or clam shoals for meat lor a square meal. If bra id is wanting, the exchange of a bushel ot oysters will bring a peck of meal. Ou this coast the variety of fish is greater, perhaps, than anywhere on the Atlantic. Tho "catch" of some spe cies, appropriate to the season, is good throughout the year. From year to year, they take everything, from pan "tisli to whales. The geueial disposition of the population is kind aud amiable. The couuty jail seldom has a tenant ; resident lawyers, but two, are briefless; aud the dockets of magistrates are blank. The buiuess of the sheriff is nv.ir.lv to collect taxes; the records of tli court are principally deeds and transfers, and the town policeman treads ... - .r..i t.-. a senary, pcitceiui uv.il.

The severity pt any burn os scald depends upon', its " extent, its depth and its nearness to1 the lungs and: heart. ' riMiId burns and scalds im pair the life, of the; .outer skin. Se vere ones impair the vitality, of the inuerskin and induce 'constitutional results more or less severe. In ordinary-burns and scalds, the injured .part is the skin, a membrane that is highly, organized and full of nerves so that' tuey may be extensive, but 'itUl not severe, nonfatal in their effects. ftA. small burner scald xm ,the cheVoi ftlfi ways ,npre dangerous . than ,a very large one on the limbs or seat."& child" of t wo years pulled over a teapot; and thus threw a small amount of boiling wAterupon its chst.

The flngetfs of xme iJ! m ZZZIZ 1 hand were so deeply burned, that, in a tew days, the first second joints came off and the derma of the arm was al most entirely destroyed and .still the child recovered. Burns and scalds are usuany consid ered under four grades, bastid upon the depth and injury of the tissues. The first includes inflammation of the outer skin or cuticle, or. epidermis. Redness, swelling and moderate smart ing marks this grade. Rarely any con stitutional disturbance appears. Its peculiar indications, in a day or more, pass entirePy-avvay and the cuticle in a short time disappears. The second is marked by inflammation of the inner skin, or cutis, or derma- Blisters, reu neu',, swelling and smarting indicate its presence. The disturbance of the nervous system is' not usually very great. But ten days or more are nec essary to restore the skin to its former healthy state. The third grade means the destruction of the outer layer of the derma. It is marked by gray or brown patches, over which are vesi cles containing not pure, watery ser um as in blisters of the second grade, but a brownish and sanguineous fluid. These patches are insensible and dead. The pain at first is severe, but in a few days pass, away, when suppuration begins and renews the pain. The sup peration separates the dead tissue from the living. The fourth is marked ly the destruction of the derma. At first the pain is exceedingly severe, but shortly ceases, because the vitality of the skin and lower tissues are destroy ed. Within four days a dark, dry hard scar appears, after burns, but a soft one alter scalds. Suppurations come on, and soon the dead part sepa rates from the living, leaving a deep ulcer, that, under proper treatment, gradually heals by granulation and en tails a strong tendency of the. muscles injured to almost irresistible contrac tion. In one deep burning of an arm, the upper and lower parts were brought into a close and permanent proximity with each other. In a se vere burning of the neck and parts ad jacent, the chin was drawn dow n so as to nearly touch the upper of the breast. Usually in the first and second grades of burns or scald or scar is left. But in the third and fourth, a scar is always seen, and has not the usual vas cular character or ordinary appearance of the natural, healthy skin. It is white and fibrous as we may often ob serve it on the neck or cheek, and the adjoining parts. The constitutional effects in the two latter grades are al wavs serious and exceedingly severe. Often they shock the nervous system so deeplv as to destroy life at once.
