The slush and slosh of the past week or more has giveu away tj one more pretiy day aud we have seen the sun iu its beauty again. Trade in eggs, furs and chickens, has been heavy the past two weeks; eo high are the prices paid that these articles are brought here from many counties.

Under a suspension of the rales the bill to extend thetime of the people of Dare county to settle their State taxes, was taken up, and after an explanation by Mr. Blaisdell, passed its readings. THE CAPE FEAR AND YADKIN VALLEY RAILROAD. Ou motion of Mr. Jones this bill, which was discussed at such length and so waiuily, yesterday, was taken up, for the purpose of being somewhat amend ed. He then offered an amendment that the road ruu by Patterson, Cald well county. Mr. Lindsay offered an amendment that tbe bonds be not sold at less than 90 cents, and none but first mortgage bonds, and at 7 per ceut. interest- Mr.- Coffield offered an amendment as to the number of convicts on the road; Mr. Norment wished the bill post poned until Tnursday, and said the de lay was proper. Mr. M ring desired pre. ent action. Messrs. Amis aud Jon. s both favored postponement. Mr. Jones moved to amend the mol ion of Mr. Norment, and make the bill special order for 1 o'clock Tuesday. Tuis, as well as the amendment of Mr. Norment, was lost. The vote thei recurred upon the passage of the bill upon its tiual reading. Then arose a discussion similar to that of Friday, aud in which au in finite variety of opinions were express ed, the amendment of Mr. Lindsay be- ing under discussion. Mr. Lewis opposed the pymeut by the State of $50,0K) at a time when she is sorely em brassed. He wonld rather see the road go into the hands of foreign corporations than pay this sum. Mr. Powers raised, his voice against the payment of the sum. Mr. Liudsay spoke on the propriety of his amend ment. Mr. Mebane begged to offer his earnest protest against the appropria tion. Mr. Mormg then took the fioor in earnest advocacy, of the bill. Mr. Lewis foilowed him in asecond speech, and Mr. Barringer also opposed the grant of $50,000. Mr. Cohve-ll did not like a portion of the bill in relatiou to allowing counties, townships and towrs to le ?j a tax, and would oppose it. Mr. Bernard spoke in opposition, while Mr. ("Blocker said the State's interest should be saved, and advocated the bill vigT ously. If the Legislature did not wish to save the road by the uie ot this sum, let them sell the State's interest aud put the money iu the treasury. Mr. llines opposed the approporiation of money to any railroad. Mr. Goldstou asked if it was not good policy to pay out five dollars to save five thousand, say n that if it were then this bill should be passed. Mr. Jones was surprised that so many members were disposed to reced from their positions tiken yes terday. He had never seen such a precedent. Members had said on the floor to-day that their constituents had instructed them to vote no approporia tious for railways, and was that beau tiful west to be kept apart from the world for this cause. There was too much sectionalism, too lit'le true State pride. Here was a proposition to the State to cotne forward aud save her own property. Mr. Taylor desired the pass age of the bill. It is not a gift to the State, for she purchases that amount of bonds, which are surely valuable. The ameudment of Mr. Lindsay that uo bonds be sold other than first in mg age bonds, etc , was put to a vote aud lost. The amendment of Mr. Mebane to strike out the $50,000, aud leave the amount blank was then lost. The amendment of Mr. Richardson to strike out all of sections 8 and 9. (Sec tion 8 prevent the seal ng of the 8tate stock, and section 9, allows the Treas urer to take the bonds,) was theu lost by a vote of 40 to 38. Mr. Clarke moved to amend by say ing that there shall be two sections of road, that only $75,000 of bouds be issued, on the 50 miles already com pleted, and the Treasurer to take $50, 0 0 f these only. Los1:, Mr. Mebane then offered an amend ment that said road go to or near Cedar Falls Factory, Raudolph couuty. Lost. Mr. Turner offered an amendment that no ring man shall be appointed a director, but the' House sat down it, as it also did ou sundry other amendments of his, one of which was to not allow the consolidation with the Mt. Airy R. R. Co. 1 he bill then came up on its final reading, when it passed by a vote of 53 to 34. Mr. Jones moved to reconsider the vote bywhich the bill passed and to lay that motion on the table. Adopted. Messages from the Senate transmit ting, various b lis were sent in aud the bills referred to the proper committees. Leave of absence was granted Mr. Hines for Monday, Mr. Hewitt for one week, for Mr. Y'ork for to-day. At 2 p m the House adjourned until Monday. A Horrible Outrage. A special telegram to the Star, re ceived last evening, gives intelligence of a crime against law and society which, in its concep ion and execu- tion, betrays a depth and height of villainy and fiendishness rarely to be met with in the annals of crime. The dispatch, daled at Laurinburg, 4 p m. yesterday, states that Miss McDuffy, a well known and highly respected young lady, residing near J. McNeill's mill, in Richmond county, was lashed to a tree and brutally raped by a negro named Eli B' thune, on Friday last. Up to the hour at which the dispatch was sent no arrest had been made. The perpetrator of the infamous crime is a bright mulatto, about five feet six inches high, with scars on the left cheek, is a little cross-eyed, and weighs about one hundred and thirty five pounds We are anxious to contribute to his capture, and therefore give this minute description of him. We are assured that any one who may a: rest him will hi liberally rewarded. The greatest iudignation and ex cit ment prevails at Laurinburg and in the entire community where the outrage was perpetrated. It is not doubted that if arrested he will be dealt with in a summary manner. We trust that the people and officers of the law in this city and county may be able to contribute towards his cap ture. He should not be permitted to escape the penalty ol his more than savage offence. Star. An endless chain of certificates verify the excellence of Dr. Bull's Cough Sy rup. Price 25 cents. Money to Loan. Mr. W. M. Sanders at his new gro cery store on Wilmington St. is actually ae ling flour, meal, corn, bacon, coffee, sugar and other gro?eiies so cheap that he promises to lend everybody all the money they need, if they will call at his store, hitch their horses in his lot and do not agree with him. Washing-eon Topics. Correspondence of the News. February 7th, 1879. MRS. SENATOR BRUCE. It appears that among the ladies of the Riggs House, one of the fashiona bis hotels, two of them called at Mrs. Bruce's residence some time ago and left their cards. All the ladies of the hotel receive on Monday t gether in the piblic parlor. Yesterday, when the recepti ou was at its zen'tb, Mrs. Sena tor Bruce, accompanied by a lady friend, as dark as E.ebus, were shown into the parlor. Singling out the twain who had kindly left their cards with her, she engaged them iu conversation some minutes, sind then left. The other ladies thought the episode deai dedly shocking uot so much that Mrs. Bruce had called, as the fact that she allowed her dusky friend to accompiny her. She was too much off color to be squeezed through toney society, al though the Senator's bride is ue.iily white. THE LITTLE GAME. The majority of the committee on Privileges aud Eleotiom to-day tuV mitted" to the Senate a report that D. ' T. Corbin is entitled to the seat in taw Senate uow heid by M. C. Butler, of South Carolina. Toe Republican have no hope of seating Corbin, bat their f ame is to have a little discussion over he report, aud theu vote tnat ButUr can not be disturbed, iuasmuch as tho case is res adjudicata. Tho o'ojeot is tojestablish a precedent, in case, after tue Democrats get control of the Sen ate, they attempt to put a derrick un der Kyl.ogg, with the oojjet of uusjai iug him. Corbin is merely used as a cat's-paw to make K dlog solid. DRUNK ON THE BENCH. The unusual scene aud more'n the pity, too, the charge is a lac,--was presumed to day iu the drouit Cmrt of this District of au attorn )y bjfore it charging the JuJgJ, au A aba-.ua im portation by Grant, of druokeuness. I he offender is named Humphreys, aud his besetting siu has so grown, ou him thai he is unfitted to sit a a J udge. One or two efforts have been made to have Congress take oognizauoe of his frailty, aud he was at one time the uj ject ol iuvesttgauoii; but by soiuj Ireak of luck he has been alljwedlo remain.

Delepations of manufacturers of to bacco trom nearly every city hold a meeting in tins city. 1'iu-y wid all try to uave the Senate down its Fin inoe Committee's report, m iklu,; a reduc tion of the tax to twemy cents, and adopt a substitute which Vooruees will offer, fixing the tax at LU'tjeu ojuts. G UAH BIN U FOR ALL IN SlUHT. Figures telegraphed hence purpl ing to give the appropriations rooom -mende 1 by th ) Commerce Committee ol tbe H msa for the improvement ol Western rivers, are erroneous.

Tho bill will not be reported to the Houe until next Mjuday wek, and inasmuch us it is a log-rolling measure, grabbiug mil lions at oue fell swoop to improve mi -aginary streams, it will be pissed uudei, suspension of the rules without de bate. EXPENSES OF GOVERN MEN I". By reference to the legislative, exec utive and judicial appropriation bill, which as its title indicates makes pio visiou for -the payment of the ex penses of the general goverument, some i e of the cot of our ii slitutions may be had. Of co.irsa it does no- pro vide for the war, nary state or post on, e departments, for which there are special bills, but for the expanse to which the people are placed for a con gress, airs di-nt and the heads of the executive department-; and the United States judioiaiy, and all this the house committee on appropriations by tb-ir b 11 just reported say will require for tho year endiug June 30, 1880, the sum of $15,154,476, or about $200,000 less thau for-'the present year and about $l,0i)0, 000 less than is asked by the administration. Tbe Miserable Moufy li.- tlou. Cincinnati EnqDlrer General Thomas Evin? having, in a recent iutorview, declared that it would be fatal to the Democratic pir ty to attempt to outlaw the greenback, and that the masses of the Dem?craic party everywhere are in hearty ac cord with the Nationals on their two great ideas the unlimited coinage of the old silver dollar, and the substitu tion of legal-tenders for bank rutes; the New York Wor.d says that., "if Ewing isc rreclly rep i ted, a id if, be ing correctly repoi te J, he reports cor lectly the opinions and wishe ol the Democratic masses' of tho West, nothing bat th consirva tive inilueutse of the solid -South can prevent the disruption of th) Djiid cratic party as a National organiza tion." General E ving's p.opitio is, affirmatively stated, are these: 1. The Ddtnocraiic party insist o i the retention of greenbtcki. 7. The Dem icratic party i isist on the substitution of greeubacki lor Na tional Bink notes. 3. The Dam ocritij pi ty alvoJitss the unlimited coinage of the old s:ler dollar. The insistence by the Democratic party on ih se pr p s:t o is, the VY orld says, 'will disrupt it as a National or ganization. In other words the Demo cratic pmy must give up t ie grm b ick currency and accept m its place National Bauk notes, or Statu Ba-ik notes, or both, and let tlnsi'ver d Uar go, thereby establishing the gold d ;1 fir as th? only money unit ot d xnis tic exchange and the only legal tender. On those conditious only'cau the Dem ocratic party ex eot t exist as a na tional organizition-that is, if the World states the case correctly. In other wor Is agaiu, if the "Sjlid South" shall sustain the three prooosi tions of the Democrecy of the West, as stated by General E vin, tus Bast-aru Democracts will bolt tha ticket made by the Democratio National Co.ivou tion.
