A brief "introduction of the new man- igtotn. ofthe Nkws is deemed quite taflcient : The enterprise of the News Pi t.i iii- ING (.'yMri"t has supplied the popular demand in North Carolina for a cheap daily newpajer.

This much accomplished, the chief aim of the new management will be to de velop the News into a fnl'y cqaipptd newspaper.

TOICE OF THE PfcOPLdE. ICeforui Is Popular. Correspondence of the News. Jefferson, N. C, Jan. 22, 1879. I am tfld to see you take such strong grounds in favor of economy, and if the Legislature will heed youi counsels much good will be done and they be come deservedly popular. The people are not satisfied with paying 38 cents tax on $100 worth of property, and nothing done for the State debt. They expect tbe debt to be settled or the tnrzes reduced. Let the Constitution be altered so as to allow the whippingpost to be estab lished. Also let it be amended by inserting in it a clause which would re quires the insane to be cared for at the expense of tbe lunatic himself if he has property, if not at the expense of the county in which he lives, as was the law in 1860. Then there will be room in tbe asylum at Raleigh for all that will be brought to it, and thereby save to the State $140,000 per annum, as now managed, and save $ 250,000 per annum as managed when the eastern and western asylums have been finish ed, opened and filled, as they will be always so long as it is done at the ex pense of the State. Ashe. 11i Children oi" the People. Correspondence of the News. Enfield, N. C, Jan. 24th, 1879. The low price of cottou and every thin&r that a farmer makes is distress- jog. mis was once one oi ine weal thiest counties in the State. Now everything that we sell is low and taxes and otlicial salaries are higher than .i i j i ever, considering tne ennanceu vaiue of money. The radicals in their wild est extravagance did not lay, but 4.2 cents of State tax on the $100. The 33 ceuts we are now paying in view of the increased value of money is a nigher tax. Ihis is empnaticaliy not wnat tne Democratic party promised. The peo ple ought not and will not continue to stand it. Senator Graham's bill is good as far as it troes, but it is too lenient. What reason is there that every salary shall not come squarely down to the rate of 1860? I here is but one that can be urged and that is that office holders have to live i i a better style aud dress their families better than in i860. 1 he people reply, do we live iu better stylo or dress our children as well as in i860? Shall our omoial servants dress their ehildren better, that our children may go in rags? Again it 6eems that 8d, J00 a year is paid for servants at $50 to $40 per mouth to wait upon nor high paid of- fioals and their numerous cierks in the capilol. If tuis thing must be, let the hiirh salaried niggers go and replace them with white men who would gladly get the snug berths with so much pay and so little to do. The people are amazed that the present Legislature has allowed this thing to go on a single day. Then there is $750 for a Kreper of the Capitol. In lb'JO he was paid $260 and the only servant in the capilol was paid $180. Hie pub ic heart is aickentd at seeing $b0,000 per annum of their hard earned money spent inside the capitol for services that were well performed $23,000 cheaper in 1SC0. If lawyers and professional men will not perform the duties at the Capitol ou tue salaries ond allowances of 1600, say to them, through your columns that there are plenty of good farmers in Aorin Carolina wuo win nu tne places at those prices and do the work equally as well as ii is now done. It seem some of the lawyers are opposing the reduction of the salary of Superior Court Judges to $2,0i0. We had good judges in li60 at $1,960, cer tainly $2,000 is enough now. If $2,500 was enough in 1808 when everything was high, surely $2,000 is as much now as $2,5U0 was then. Those who oppose an adjustment of salaries to the 1800 basis are rarely advocates of increased salaries. The policy of the News takes like wild fire here. Farmer. Revenge iu I till j. Two Englishmen, wandering in a boat in the suburbs of Venice, saw an object in the water surrounded by birds. 1 hey found it to be a man, vet alive. His arms and legs were broken and tied, and in order that he might not sink, a large demijohn of glass was attached to each shoulder, which sustained the head and neck above water. He could not speak : his tongue hung from his mouth. His eyes had been pecked out by birds. 1 he murderers were L.ugi Parmas- ehetti, a farmer, and his two brothers. Parmaschetti had a handsome and irreproachable wife and a daughter of b years, letaldo the murdered man, was employed by him and well treat ed, but becoming enamored of Mme. Parmaschetti, he annoyed her to such a degree that her husband beat him and (..rove him from his house. Several davs after Parmaschetti started at midnight, with a boat-load of garden 'produce, for Venice. His wife was soon awakened by step in her room. Her door was lockwi, but I etaldo had entered by the window, and he stood before her, knife in hand. He threat ened death if she called for help, but ihe defended herse.t bravely In the mpantimrt hpr rlniio-htT nnnprpp i vurl meantime ner daugnter, unpercen ed by Tetaldo, had crept under the bed, Parmaschetti ran round a table, and several times escaped, from Tetaldo's grasp. I5ut he stabbed her, and she fell in a dying condition. Day began to dawn, and Tetaldo tied. The child then alarmed the neighbors, who on reaching the house lound the woman dead, with thirty-two wounds upon her body. On the return of Parmas chetti, himself and brothers sought Tetaldo, and found him. Parmaschetti plunged a pitchfork three times into his b:east, and held him pinned, while his brothers broke his arms aud lees with an iron bar. Parmaschetti in tended to burn him, but a brother proposed that he should be floated upon the Adriatic, that the birds at.d fishes might eat him alive. This was done. The three brothers were con demned to ten years of imprisonment, with hard labor, but a petition to the king was extensively signed in Venice, asmng tor their complete pardon. Sew York Star Ilenins.

If there is any boundless contiguity of shade, any deep umbrageous retreat, any convert whose secrecy prying eyes will ne'er invade, any subcellar or ac cessible hiding-place under some con venient barn, into which isrotner iai mage might feel inclined to crawl, now is his time to gratify that inclination. Silver vs Gold, Louisville Conrier Journal. It is a common but ignorant asser tion that silver. has declined since 187 3 The correct statement is that gold has risen the measure being ics purchas ing power over labor and property. Silver, true to its character, has follow ed the ebb of the great tide, leaving the gold indicator at an abnormal at titude. Since 1872 silver has d- clined fifteen per cent, as measured by gold, but to-day a given quantity of silver will purchase more property au i li bor in England aud America than in 1873, while a given quantity of gold will purchase thirty par cent. more. We will not deny that the contin gencies of mining have given partly accidental occasion for these phenome na, but it is also obvious that there is a profound and potential logio in them connected with essential laws. Silver is the money of the masses, and rest on a vastly broader and more uniform average for the relations of demand aud supply. Gold is the money of the capitalist, and is more intimately in volved iu the great lottery of specula tion and investment. Even now the nations which use silver are four times as numerous as those which have an exclusively gold coinage. It is most logical to . claim for these considera tions that fluctuations can naturaly occur in silver only by slow degrees, and only from causes, which are of the most far reaching and momentous acter that can possibly exist. A'so that this character attaches to gold to a much smaller degree, as cotton is a better index of market influences than silk, breadstuff a better index than champagne, and ooal a better index than diamonds. , FOR KKT !t I OK MALE.
