Cannot the assembled wi-dom of the S'atp search out and apply some remedy for tlie-e depressing t.iues, rather th.n drag ri'l down to the .evel of staivatioa. I dou t believe the tax-payers of the State demand this reduction of the al r ady low salary of our Governor and Judge , however much they desire re- trtuchmeut in oiher respects. Thev demand the strictest economy iu all ex pend, t urc-s of the public money but they do not ask such a reduction of their salaries. But sec. ll. of the Stin.irn's bill is the worst put of it. I take it that County commissioners are iucluds ed iu "all other county offices whatso ever" and will have the pleasure of fix ing their own "mdeage. fees and f , p-'iisation." Justice -i of the Pea - county offices. They elect !. c Ul missioi ers and might p - 1, have a woid to say about th-ir ow... "fees and c nijiensation". But the pay of these officers comes moftly frow the law breakei s ot the land a'ld not from the iblic Tieasury. For this reason they should be lUed at a uniform rate and suuijienriy high as to maKe lair com pensation for the services to be uer- foi med. The fees of Justices of the Peace are entirely too low to induce mtn of the reouisite capacity to ac cept the oliiee in many counties, and icten tne piace renirims vacant. Th cuators plan would show lee bills in the different counties differing as wid ly as the different Boards of commis- sioners in their respective estimates on the value of the services to be reduced, and presenting an inconvenience most intolerable. These thoughts have been hastily penned, with no purpose to criticise the good work of real reform in our public expenditures, or our Senator's move in that direction. They au presented calmly and kindly for the mature consideration ot those wlo nave tne matter under considera tion with a hope that they may be as kindly received and reflected upon. The democratic par'y promised re treochmeut and reform and-if it has not already fulfilled the promise, let it be done, but done in the right way. If there remains any rottenness or extravagance inany of the unclaansed corners lec nt'y Tilled with radicalism clean it out, but stop tho continual cry of retrenchment in the places already purili d, els-i the rads will say we ac cuse ourselves which we do not. M. A I'D'H Tor W iliuiiigtoii from the Wet. Correspondeiu e of lie News. Mt. Aikv, N. C, Jan. 23. 1879. Reasoning from analogy and the sue cess of other States it would seem that the Hail lioads ouht to converge to a common centre, and that centra should be the best iseaport. Look at tu rail load maps: South Carolina has her Chai lestoi ; Louisiana her New Orleans; Maryland her Baltimore; Pennsylvania , I I I . XT ' I I XT.. nor Jt miaaeipnia: ixew njfn uw nuvr York; Masxachuswtts her Boston; Al a bama her Mobile; Gepryia her Savan nah; Virginia her Norfolk und Rich mond and so ou through ma ty more. North Caiolina has lier Wilmington, but does her railroads radiate to the mountaius fioin the main commercial ceutie? No. If we had a raon ims poitant. Seaport where the moit of the. citizens could resort to as is usual wit:, a real Metropolis would notour pjple be b-tter acquainted ? Would not thwre be more unanimity and concert of action mre I omoueui'y mo e Sr.ate pride and pro-priity? How many North Caro linians go to Wilmington to buy goods? aye even groceries aud tropical fruits? Every true North Carolinian, if he will rtrljct a little, will see that these things ought not to be so. Chai lestou rejoic ed not many tn jinhs ago ai the pros spect of tapping by rail our western trausmotitaue section at Asheville. Why should not Wilmington rejoice at the prospect of tapping the nearest mountain section to hei? Would it not ook fair since the long, way of the State has one roa i from the mountains to the sea that the s ort wayshould have one too? 1 was 1 id our patriotic Gov ern' r recommended State aid to the Fayei teviile and Greensboro Rail Road. Tins through the Cape Fear, would for the present be a step towards re cognizing more fully than we have heretofore done the fact that we have a Commoicial Metropolis. But to make this a pnyiug road to the State and thus lower the taxe? and more fully carry out the tirst named obj er it should by all means be extended further noitb, near Dan bury, Stokes county.

The di roads, many in numb, r running ikrough the mountain gaps all converge to tl is point, and they are remarkably gooi roads considering they are not graded The citizens in the adjacent counties of Virginia will come South, because it ie .so dtfticuit to go .North to the virgin i und leunessce Road. Horses, cattle nos, bacon, laid, hay. rye. oats, apples, tniekwlieat, lrjon ore, coal. Iimo, corn, wheat, tobacco, &c, would swell the business of this Road.

We do thank God that he moved Ru therford B. Hay i, President, to appoint one Hagner, from Maryland, the judge to fill the place left vacant by Judge Olin. We are thus thankful for, not what we received, but for what we escaped . It is believed that the appoint ment rested between Mr. riagner auu our Riddle. We don't; knov Judge Hagner; but we are told that be has a good digestion aud a clear head, while, he is sufiicieutly copper-bottomed to insure lo g sitt ug and patient hearing. But with Mr. Riddle we should have passed from paralysis to dyspepsia, from bad to worse. Mr. Riddle is a good man, who writes bad novels. He can advocate women's rights with better phrase and more learning than any man we know of. But dyspepsia on the bench makes the gods howl with anguish. His Excellency said, in excuse for overlooking our bar and going into the wilderness after Hagner, that our courts wore not local, but United S;ates courts. Of course they are, and so is every thing else in this District. We have f notiong Our wives and cnnaien, our maidservants aud men-tervants, our houses and households; our cows, and horses and asses and goats and pigs are not ours. That is, they are not, if anybody wants them. Tnis District of Columbia is only national door-mat for Adruinisti ations to wipe thai- feet on; aud, Lord he,lp us 1 but they are very dirty feet gen erally ! Our courts are Uuited Sta'es courts; our commissioners are Uu ted States commissioners. Have we any tiling that is not, the property of the United Sta'e-'? We would well wish to see His Ex- cell' ncv take a man from Maryland and make him judge of a court in New Eng land, or one imra JNew knglaud and locate him iri Ohio.
