H said that the trathc in liuuois was a thiug which the Legislature should either break no. or else so tax it as to make an immense source of revenue, aud thus put such a pressure on it as to criifb it. 1 he dibcourxe was pun gent aud vigoious, aud evidently made an impression.

A reporter, ou visiting thia institu tion a day or two sitee, was struck with the progress of the work, both on the buildings and the wall. In the rear of the main building, with its cells, has risen what ia called the do- meatic department, an immense structure 173 feet Ijnir and from 32 to 70 leet wide, and two atoiies high. In this arj to be done ttie cooking and washing, on the basement, while on the fcecoud iloor are the lauudry, store ana clothes rooms, drying room eto. 1 he i ngiues ute alb in this building lu the third st'-ry are the dormitories, L .. . . il . I 1 . wuere a;i me u mesiics ol the prison will No miaitercd. This buildiug, which is oi uriik, and uaudaome in dKin, is almost complette. In tho rear ol tliis rises the brauch of the prison buildings wherein are the strong ceils. 1 hese are 04 in number. and isolated. The authorities say that the plan of keeping prisoners thus separate from th-j main body has the beat effect in subduing them. Like the outtide word, they p;ne for eocie ty. The buildiu iu fnnt, which oon taius the cells, wha: is known as the maiu prison, will coutain 800 cells. Half of these are constructed. The ccnipleted poition is ; stories, or tiers ol cells, higQ and is of brick, stone and iron, will built throughout. There are guard room aud all the windows and doors are heavily grated, 1 he cells are about . feet high, 8 leet long and 5 feet wide, and will be tLor ougbly warmed a id ventilated by a steam engine, This poriiou of the building is to be coveted with the grauite shell which encases it, and fronts the railroad. The caIU are massive, and will accommodate 100 oonvicts, 2 to each, conveniently, if need be. l he outer wa.u ol the enclosure are rising rapidly, aud present a specimen of magniticeut woi k in stone. The i long granite wail stretches -way in endli as ei spect ive and is said to be one of the best iu the country. It o:ily lacks eight feet of reaching its full height. The wall is complete for about a bundled feet and with its pro jecting coping, which on t p forms a walk !r the guards, is couvi'ct proof. When tho wall is ti'iished, a guard tower wiil sta d a, each ei;d. Then i u r men can gu iru me pus n at a tune. Work ou this rear wall gm-a ou - i I . -til i rapiuiv, ana it win no completed in a few months, the most ddli'iilt an 1 heavy uiasou wirk being liijiht'd al- reauy. i tie convicts grow reMive as they see the great wail risiug and the othci.iN have to be very vigilant. rue wail will bo tini-hed lirft, nnd th'-n work will coiunii-rie on the main buildi'ig. This wa.s iutwnde 1 to be of ftone, nut riiHriireiniant Ilieks ex pr .es a preference fr brick, not o.ily on acc'iii'it of its cheapness but beaue l.e deems it as durable and se- cure. The biick for all the work are made now iu the enclosure, and sound ones th-y are. The c'ay comes fiOtn Walnut creek. The great stme juat ry. already down to au immense depth, is being tul!y developed, and some tine, though very hard, stone is taken out. The waste rock is used to build walls around the great cavity, s as t turn oil the surlace water. I he idea is to u-e the quarry, when work in it is stopped, hs a grand ip;-erv. ir wherin the water from a line spring will flow, and a. so pure rainwater accumulate. Th-.'U it will supply both the peniten tiary and the iusaue asvluni with pure wa'er at all times, a it will bold l.ooO,K.Mj gallons, an 1 be sjme oO leat deep, a regular lake, in fact. The por tion of the grounds by the lake, out side the wall, ia to be careluMy graded and a lake put around it. Tho work ou the building is a credit to the Su- priutendeut and his assistants, an'i is ooth neat aud durable. The health of the prisoners was never better than a preM-nt, and everything seems to bo going on very sm- othly. ihe othcial-i spak of the iMluence exerted by the Sunday services, which are a means of great god. Tenting Hose. The Rescue steamer yesttrday test ed the 10 K) leet of new rubber hose, just bought by the city. Ihe steamer was a', one of the capitol cisterns, and ra;i the lineol hose down r ayetteviHe street. '1 he lirt twst was with loOO feet. With 14-1 p unds pressure a oae- inch stieain was torou 100 leet in height. Then more hose was added until iy) feet was stretched, reaching from the c.mitol to Davia street. With a pressure of bat little more than TOO pounds a stream was thrown bO feet high. A very largo crowd were on the s'reets to witness the test. The pressure coul 1 not be put ou, as before it could be the water in .the cistern was exhausted. The cistern in front of liwyster's was rilled and th:s con- sumed much of the water. The hose proved admirable, but the pressure was not great. Ihe chiet engineer says he wishes to put on 250 pounds, and so will have another in a few days. The Letter Uoxew. The letters deposited in the street letter b xes are collected twice a day. The carrier leaves the post office at 5 a. m. ana returns ai i, aam ui ia in i . - returning at i p. ni. ihe ooxes ate a great convenience and we are gl:id to learn that Gov. Hel leu has app ied for six more. They ate not used to them yet, and the ideas of s mie as to their use are very crude. The repor'er heard one party gravoly assert that the boxes were nut up by the Young Men's Christian Associatio 1, for the rec'p- tiou of nickels and other coutribu:iou for the Door. Another person said with as much gravity that they were intended to receive petitions to the Legislature. After awhile the good wonle will know what they are for and will put letters in them instead of walking half a mile to deposit them in the post othoe. At present two col lections are made duly from the boxes. o" at 5 a. m., the o'her at noon. The boxes ate a public convenience aid should be used, but niauy of tuose who mail letters never even know their u?". an i would be afraid to put n a letter if they did. HUliop Lyiuttu.

Mr. Battle said August was the better time. Finally, on motion of Mr. Bizzell, the bill was tabled. LATINO OFF PUBLIC ROADS. H. B. 15, amending chap. 104, Bat. tie's Revisal. presoribiug that the publio roads shall be laid oft by three commissioners, who are to be specially appointed, instead of a jury of 12 per- sons, chosen by the Sheriff, as is now the law. The intent of the bill was fully explained by Mr. Vaugkan, who said that a great difficulty in the west was in getting the 12 jurors together by the Sheriff'. Many roads have been laid out in those counties, by commis. sioners and have proved admirable, while their cost was only oneafourth that of tho8el aid off by the jury system These commissioners will be chosen specially for their knowledge of such roads, while the jurors are taken just as the Sheriff comas across them. Another provision of the bill repeals the exemption to county officials. These should be made to bear the burden alike with the farmer. They can either work the roads or sand a substitute as the former. .Mr. Blocker offered a substitute that the magistrates select the road commissioners, but afterwards withdrew it. Oa motion of Mr. Covington, the bill wa3 not further discussed, but was postponed and made special order for noon on Tuesday, Feb. 4rh. II. B. 2, to incorporate the tow a of Davidson College. Passed. THE ELECTION OF MAGISTRATES. Under a suspension of the rules Mr. Foard moed to reconsider t'.e vote by which the bill in regard to the elecs tion of Magistrates passed on Satur day. At that time an amendment thae the names of the person- selected by the committee should be voted upon without debate was adopted. Mr. Foard thought there should be no debate, that if any objections were held as to the qualifi cations of the nominees, those holding them could appear before the committe on nominations and put their case there. This would cause no time to be lost in debates in the House, as.the commit tee could consider all such questions. The minority might seek by House debate to delay the election, and con sume the time. This bill merely re move the discussion from the House to the committee. Mr. Amis stated that the matter of selection had already beeD discussed by the committees of the various counties, Mr, Reynolds said it was not the policy nor interest of the minority to delay matters, but to push through these public matters, and then attend to those of education, agriculture, etc. The ayes and nays were called on the motion to reconsid er, and it prevailed by a vote of 51 to 32. The amendment that there be a debate was then lost, and the bill as it came from the Senate ooncurred in. The election is to be held Feby. 18th, and all names are to be given the com mitte on nominations, which is com posed of 13 members.
