Esq Mr. John G. Williams, President of the State national Bank, amd one of the most prominent and beloved men of this city, died at his residence ves terday morning at 4:45 o'clock. He was born in the city of New York, oa the 2-5th of December, 1S27, and when a boy. removed with bis parents to Kale'1 h. For many years he was the -'i f and trusted clerk in the Raleigh poeto tije. and afterwards Secretary of the Nonh Carolina Life Insurance C jmpanv. Without the advantages of an ed- catiou in schools, he acquired by close application to such books as came witnin his reacn and at sucn times as he could spare from his business, a large fund of varied and useful infor mation, and, in his intercourse with men. a large and extended knowledge of h-iinin nature, which served, in his after life, t achieve for him a re markable success. ( the 5:h Febu?y, 18)2, he was married to Miss Mariim Carson White, f Raleigh, who, together with seven ch ildren, survives him; and it is a co incidcuce not unworthy of "mention that the only brid il attendants npon that marriage, now Mr. aud Mrs. Car s o Murray, of this city, were on tbe anniversay day of the marriage, watchers upon the sad and solemn scene which closed the happy married life whose happy commencement they had witnessed. With the savings wh'ch habits of economy had cuabled him to make. Mr. Williams enuaed in the business of Banker and Broker and acheived a marked success thereat; and after the close of the late war he organized aud conducted, as President and owner, the State .National Bank of this city, one of tbe mo-it prosperous and strong est banking institutions in the South. Mr. Williams had such qualities as mvle him a universal favorite; and he will be universally missed and 1 iment ed in this city and section. By his wise management, thrift and industry, and witliout tbe aid of others, he rose rapidly to fortune, but his rise was not upon the hurt or ruin of his fellow men. It was an honest, legitimate suc c s that al ways follows wise, honest and let kirn t labor aud industry. He a p'U'lt nt and careful, but never ci so or oppnssive, in his dealings. Of the thousands who had transactions with him, we have never heard aught of complaint against him. He was always polite, genial and kind, and cbari'abln in heait, mind and hand. If he ever thought evil of his neighbors, bis tongue never spake it; on the con trary. Lis expressions of opinion were always kind and considerate; and as for his deeds of benevolence and char ity, they were constant and large. He I bad an especial sympathy for those who were honestly strug gling to make their way in the world, and was ever ready to aid them to his utmost. He seldom ened in his estimate of men, and when he was assured, in his mind, of their capaci'y and bouest worth, he backed his judgment with large pecuniary assistance. Two of the worthiest and wealthiest men of our city, when they were wo k u hard and beginning to risa in the business world, at one time needed the command of mouey for a few weeks; and, as one of them re marked to the - writer, "he honored our drafts without security to tbe extent of $4"). 000 and never dunned us for a cent." Applications for benevolent and chaiitable purposes were never made to him in vaiu, and he always gave with a large handed liberalty. One of his mot prominent donations was one half of the sum sufficient to bui'd and equip the large and handsome edifice known as "Science Hail'' at Wake Fo est College. Mr. Williams was a m mber of the First B pt st Chu c i of this city, a;id took a grtai i terest in its support acd prosperity. Other religious denomina tions also received his countenance, and warm encouiapement aud support, and all m Hrn his death with a sinceie srrit f. I he entire c-'inmuuity feel his hs deeply and sympathize with the bereaved widow and children. The funeral s rvici 8 will be held from the .-alisbury Street Baptist church, at 3$ o'ekek this afternoon. Si'im eme Court. Court met at 10 o'cl ck on yesterday. All the Justices pres ut.

Tucker appeared before the Board and asked that the county tax on theatrical performances be re duced to $3, the same as on concerts The Board declined, in view of the fact t iat a new revenue bin may tie ns ported. 1 he time of the sheriff for settling county taxes was extended to March first.

A reporter called upon Governor Jarvis yesterday and was kindly met and pleasantly greeted by that urbane gentleman, who seemed at home amidst his new honors, so well deserved and so admirably worn. During the day he received the congratulations of a constant stream of callers. In conversation, the Governor said that his first official act as Lt. Governor was to sign the a?t rotating the Judge?, and now his first as Gov ernor was to issue the commission as United States Senator to Goveinor Vance . A Senator fjettiug Down. Washington Republ'can. Tbe scrambling is vgorous, and the contest is increasing iu bitterness, and we will glance at the battle-field of these Democratic gladiators. The first in order to be inspected is Senator Dennis, cf Maryland, whose Senatorial term expires on the 4th of next March , and who will ask the Senate to re urn him to a subordinate position in the body of which be is now an honorable peer. We have great respect for Sena tor Dennis in his present position :. e., we have ss much respect for him as we can have for a gentleman wl o h. s made the mistake of taking up his bed and board with the Democratic party but when we consider him as a candi date for thu Secretaryship of the Sen ate, in which he now holds and hon ored seat, which, if successful, will enable bim to lay as'de his Senatorial toga and step down at once to hubor dinate position in the same hoJy, our respect for him dwarfs, and we turn aside for the consideration of such an event with unpleasant emotions.

The bilT to prohibit removal of causes from one county to another, in either Criminal or Superior courts, save where the ends of justic3 absolute y require it, special order, was taken up. Mr Carter ol iJuncombe said it was an evil that should be put a period to The bill sir k s at one of the greatest evils that affl cts the courts and is a source of so much expensa to the coun ties. It will promote speedy justice, will further the ends of the law, and will save thousands of dollars. Mr. Turner said causes were often removed to evade trial upon affidavits mads merely to continue and delay. Mr. Carroll and Mr. Barringer favored the bill, whila Messrs. Clarke aud Normeut thought the bill would work great in justice. Mr. til jcker thought it would he beneficial, and Mr. Uiudsay took the sama vuw. Mr. Lockhait sent in an amendment that the bill shall not apply to cases of homicide, or assault with mteut to kill. He favored iha bill with this amend ment. Mr. Caliwell opposed the amendment on the ground that it- woul 1 destroy the effect of the bill to exempt the capital cases from its pro visions. He deemed the bill itself as of the highest importance and benefit. Mr. Covington said the bill was un just, and gave prisoners often but small chance, and might oltea cause the inno cent to be punished. Mr.Turoer opp d the amendment as did Mr. Carter. Mr. Davis of Haywood said that only the guilty moved their trials, at the ex pense of the country, while the inno cent desired sp idy trials. You may starve and stop your charitable insti tutions, but here is a wide Meld for opportunity to save a vast expense by parsing tlu bill. The amendment offered by Mr. Lock hart was then lost. The bill then pased its second reading. Upon the quescion to put the bill upon its final reading a great discussion arose, but the House decided not to so allow. A message was received from the Seuate transmitting S R 371, request ing Representatives ia Congress to se cure additional appropriations for the rivers of this State, aud it was adopted.

Carl sle, of Kentucky, is v-ry generally regarde-a ,as among the fo.emost men in Congress. He is rchh fro j the Capital, where his asso ciates are such as put him, in posses sion of the freshest aod most leliable information upon curreut eveuts aod eolitical t p cs Aa Enquirer repre sentative met this gentleman in Lex- iuutou 1 ast evening, and had the p!eas use of a long and iuteresting conver sation with him upou matters which engage the attention of the public.- Aa no man is better lnlonneu as to what is transpiring at the seat of Govern ment than Mr. Carlisle, some snatches of his newsy talk may be of iuterest to readers of the Enquirer. THE SPEAKERSHIP. The Kentucky Gove:nors'aip had been under discussion. Mr. Carlisle paid fitting tribute to Thomas L. Jones and Judge Lindsay. From local topics the way'was easy to national affairs. name "What was the state of tbe contest for the Speakership when you left Washington, Governor?" "Mr. Blackburn is considered the contending man for the place with Randall. The friends of Judge House are urging him for it, but against "his wishes. The tight will come between Blackburn and Randall. There are a great many influences at work to effect the result. Some Southern men in the, House think that the South ought not to have the Speakership, nor anything else. They say it is too soou, and that if a Southern man was elected Speaker it would complicate the Pres idential race." "ow, I do not think that a South ern man. because he is from the s mth, should be rewarded with plae any more than a man from the North; but if he is capable the fact of his beiag from the iouth should be no obj-ctiou to him. No oue doubts Joe Black burn's ability, or doubts that ha would make an admirable presiding officer. He is entirely acceptable to the great majority of tha Southern membjrs; but there are some who will vote for Randall against any body. Tuey per haps hold places under him, are satis fied with the existing order of things, and do nut want a change, belie viug that, in ther cases, a change would be for the worse. Others, aain. will vote for any body agaiust Randall. They charge openly that he his used his place to advance his private iuterest. Of course I kno n nothin 1 of the truth of thefe charges, bu", they are made, nevertheless. Blackburn is objected to ou the ground that he impulsive, and that he might reward his fi eri Is at the cost of the public service. Well, Joe will si and by his friends, but Sam liauda.l re w ard jd his friouds, aud puuished his enemies, too'. The Southern Democrats cau uomi-iate the bpeaker it they want to. There will be 150 Democrats in caucus, the large majority of whom will be fioni the South. It will take 76 to uomiuate. If she wants i the South rem havj the Speakership." THE PRESIDENCY. "What will be the upshot of the cipher investigation, Govern.01 .'' ' That is hard to say. It is unques tionably intended to all' -et the rac of the Democratic nomination for the Presidency. Mr. Tildea an 1 his friends are urging the investigation. They claim to be able to who that M-. Til den had nothing t ) do with thus. tele grams, aud that thjy were se it. if sent at all, entirely wiib.uit his knowledge or authorit. Tuey ciaim further that no oue ia auy way officially coan ctod with him in the canvass, or untitled iu auy degree to speak for him, had an tumg.iouo with sead 11 1 tlm nlni cip'ior dispatoues." WO0LEY AND MA HULK. "But, Governor, what bc-coin ;s of Mr. Charles W. Wooley aud Mautoa Marble?" The Governor laughingly answered: "That's what they say no. It any persons undrtok t speak for Mr. Tildeu a-id h:s friends aud; for the Democratic Committee, as isi claimed upon these dispitches, tluy ated en tirely without authority, and were idmply mejdlers in a busiuess hi which their services were not wanted. If Mr. Ti dencin prove those things it will go along way t ward strengthening him 111 popular favor. TILDKN DOOMING I I'. "Do you thiukh.) will be a candidate for the nomination?" I tell yon Tildea is lo un a r up. If he does not g;t the n nn nation him self he will uame the man thai doos. Tho old man has a loru heai and knows A-Lfcu he Is doing, He may be nominated by acclamation, there is no telling. Next to himself, I think h i favors B ayard, who is very strong i n the East, and pjrhaps oili carry New York, New Jersey and Connecti cut. Judge Field, a great personal friend qf Mr. Ti'.ddU, is also sp Aou of asa possible compromise. Sjymonr has been spoken of, but he is thre.ro ti ed with softening of the brain, and t'i amount of exertion that would bo re quired of him to make the cauvass would kill him. Ho naedj repose, which he could uot have if he eug ige-d in the excitememtemcnt of a Presidou tial contest. Now York will doubtless be lor Tildea for first choice. Thu bre ich between him aud John Kall jy has b ien closed, and they are now working together har.niuious'y. Hi would unqu-sti ibly carry the Statw against any Rjpublicau that could ho named. THAT LETTER, "Would not his favoring the LI -c- toral Commission rather make against him?" "Ho says he ncv.r favore 1 it, that h was opposed to it all the time. He claims that he wrote a letter to Hewitt, stating his objictio.iH to tVo Commission. This letter has b n publicly referred to as tho oue sup pressed by Ue.vitt. That g-nlleuicoi admiited haviug received it, bat said that he had showu it to a few frien is of Mr. Tilden, whom he tliought ought to be made aware of its con tents. Ho did not givj it to the pub lic, because he d d not consider that it ought to be made public. I t:.i .ii, however," said Mr. Carlise. "thai if Mr. Tilden had como on to W asbingto.i openly entered is protest against llii Electoral Commission B 11, or had made known his wishes iu some other unmistakable, way, it uevca.woul 1 have been passec: hexd :icks. "Would Gooernor Hendricks tak the seco id plaje on the ticket with Tilden agajn?" " No, I don't think ha woul 1. I met him in Washington a short time ago.

Thurman is undoubtedly the strong st VVis'crnmiQ that has b.'ju mentioned. He has beau urged to ruu for the G vernorsbip of Ouio. Sho is a Republican State, there is no doubt about that, but if it was considered that the election of Mr. Thurman to the Governorship was a stepp:n ..stone to the Presidency, I b.lievo he could be elected. Tue fact, I think, if he receivod the nomination for the Pres idency, he would carry Ohio, anyhow, uhles3 the Republicans nomi nated John Sherman, and then it would be a close aud doubtful figth' The mention of the Blackburn brought up the Speakership.
