The News desires to give sketch of each of the leading merchants of this city. The object is to show to the State how much basiness this city carries on; to illustrate its commercial importance by. the publication of statis tics In all the leading articles of mer obandise and particular! j in cotton, dry goods, meat and grain. J. P. OTJLLRY. The name of this gentleman, though comparatively young, is familiar to the people of this city and tbe surrounding country, as being largely and exten sively associated with the dry goods trade, and contributing no little to the growth and development of the general trade and commerce of oar State capN tol. He naturally takes a practical and liberal view of all subjects, and, like all successful busineas men. has a deep interest la everything calculated to build tip and develop not only our oom me roe, but every lndeetry. Mr. Gulley was born in Wake county, in 1844, and. was raised a larmer, and is now thirty-five years of age. The great war between the States coming on in 1862, while yet scarcely seventeen years of age, he volunteered in Com pany C, 53d N. C. State Troops, aod shared in all its trials and hardships, and, it is needless to say, though a boy, be bore himtelf gallantly and won a high reputation for coolness aod cour age io his regiment. Us was only oooe slightly wounded. When the war was over he returned to the home of his childhood and assisted bin father iH the cultivation of his faim. lu 1G'J he and his brother L. J. Gu'ley ani Z. T. By num. formed a co-partnership under the name of Gulley, B)Dum & Co., and at once commenced business in the store now occupied by. himself, and continued business for ne year, when the lirm was dissolved by the with drawal i f Mr. Bynum. He and his biotlier tben formed the copartnership ol J. 1 . tiuHey lore, acu continued the buHiufss together until July, 1874, when L. J Uulley's health failing he retued from the businew, leaving the subject of this sketch sole proprietor, iuce then he has been alece in the tiuile Starting with a email capital. they had at hrst to struggle for exist ence, out soon oean ana Duut up a properous tnvle amounting, the first ytar, to over szd.uuu. under nis skill ful and well directed nwagement the bu-iuebs has continued to increase and prosper, and for several years has aver aged from fT5,0H) to fSo.UOO per an nutn, i. ml in the aggregate he has sold ncuily aix huudrca thousand dollars worth of gooes, falling but little be hind tho largest aud most successful dry goods houses of the city. From th? htart he has made a specialty of a general dry gotdi business aod keep ing un hand every thing demanded by his trade, including an extensive stock of ready made clothing, hats, boo s and shoes, lie has never sought the holesale trade, preferring to confine himself to his original idea of a general retail business. There is no bouse in the city where you would be more likely to find what you want or need, for he keeps every thing in his line. Having made a suc- o ss of his business and provided him self with tbe means, there is nothing to prevent his stepping to the froDt aod soon becoming one of the merchant princes of the Stale. It gives us pleas are thu to note and place upon record the success of our enterprising young men. Tae Kortli not Ready. St. Louis Republican, There is do doubt about it ; the south is becoming too numerous in office. It is not that a southern man is sot just as capable and honest as any other, but it is not politio for the ex-confeder- ates to thrust themselves forward too aggressively as office-holders. Y"ou may pile reasons mountain high to show t-.e thing is aU right, but when all is said that can be said, the who'e fabric of excuse will tumble under the weight of the one practical fact that the north is not ready for that sort of thing It doesn't matter what should be ; tbe matter of real, vital importance is what is.

Urant lor President in 1830 are wise, they will sit dowowith taeir utmost ponderosity upon the absurd project of a traveling mass convention of 50,000 people to meet the general at San Franoisco and escort him across the continent. There are a multitude of good reasons which might be offered, but the scheme is so manifestly ill-advised that it is hardly worth while to treat it as anything else than the invention of a few rail road sharpers.

The joint caucus of the Democrats of the Senate and House was held to day in the Hall of the House of Repre sentatives presided over by Hon. Heister Clymer in absence of the per manent, President Hon. John.F. House, who was detained athisjrooms by sick ness, in? j unc committee made a unanimot s report, which report was agretd to by the joint caucus with great unanirro-y. iu fact the entire proceed ing oi iu ' caucus were marked by the most fraternal and kindly spirit, but with a firmness and determination that showed that the positions taken would be maintained to the end. In the lan guage of Speaker Randall, the result of caucus will crytilize theDamoratic party into a solid body that would defy the attacks of the enemies of the people, free elections and fair trials in the courts. The report recommends the action of the House of the 45th Congress, and directs the attaching to the appropria tion bills the repeal of the jurors test oath, the martialiug of soldiers at or near the election precincts, the officers and services of marshals and deputy marsha's at tha elections, and the ap- po-ntment 01 supervisors, except, so far, that one Supervisor of each politi cal party may be appointed, who sha'l serve only one day, without power to arrest or in any way interfere in the election and shall simply act as lookers on. Various speeches were made express ing different shades of opinion but none in opposition to the repeal of the odi ous, tyrannical and obnoxious meas ures. It was a very full caucus, and excellent speeches were made, and the country may rest assured that the De mocracy is thoroughly united and will stand firm upon these vital questions, iu which the liberties of the people are so deeply involved. Anecdote of Victoria. Queen Victoria was not twenty years of age when she ascended the throne. Coming into possession of power with a heart fresh, tender aod pure, with all her instincts inclined to mercy, we may be sure that she found many things that tried her strength and resolution to the utmost. On a bright beautiful morniog, the young Queen was waited upon at her palace at Windsor, by the Duke of Wellington, who had brought from London various papers requiring her signature to render them operative. One of them was a sentence of a court martial, pronounoed against a soildier of the line that sentence that he be shot dead. The Queen looked upon the paper and then looked upon the wondrous beauties that nature spread to her T ew. What has this man done?" she asked. The Duke looked at the paper and replied : Ah, my royal mistress, that man I fear is incorrigible. He has deserted three times" "Aod can you not say anything in his behalf, my lord?,' Wellington shook his head. Oh, think again, I pray you.' Seeing that her majesty was so deep ly moved and feeling sure that she would not have the man shot in any event finally confessed that the mau was brave and gallant, and really a good soldier. 'But" he added, "think of the in fluence." Influence!" cried Victoria, her eyes flashing, and her bosom heaving with strong emotion. "Let it be ours to wield influence. I will try mercy iu this man's case and j charge you, your grace, to let me know the result. A good soildier, you said, Oh! I thank you for that. And you may tell him that your good wood work save him." Then she took the paper, and wrote with a bold, firm hand, across tbe dark page, the bright saving word, 'Pardoned 1" Senator Hampton's Health. Augusta Chronicle. A gentleman whe returned to th;s city yesterday from a brief visit to Senator Hampton, at Green Pond, brings the cheering news of his con tinued good health.

Miss Isabel Cottrell came into the court-room escorted by Attorney Gen eral Field. She was dressed in black and was closely veiled. At the request of counsel for defence she took off her veil. She gave her testimony with great composure. She said : In Janu ary last, I think, was the first time was ever in the store of Wingo, Ellett & Crump. That was certainly the first ' time 1 ever saw the young man (Mr. . . V T . " 1 . uurtis.; 1 went into tne store for a pair of shoes. 1 wanted to try them on, and he brought them aod wanted to put them ou me. I told him I would put them on. He held them and in sisted upon buttoning them. I took them and put them on, and finally allowed mm to Dutton tbree buttons. He insisted oa buttoning it all the way, and 1 found some difficulty in prevent " TTT t T a mg mm. vvnen 1 iook up my own shoe he insisted on laciog it up for me, and he stooped down at my foot and remained there until 1 changed my position, lnat was the first time. SECOND AND THIRD MEETING OF CURTIS Two or three weeks afterwards wit ness went into the store again about a pair of shoes, and deceased lasisted on her trying them on in the store ; which she utterly refused to do. On the third occasion I went to leave a pair and to have plates put upon an other pair. Mr. Curtis opened the bundle and held up the pair I had b en wearing, aod said : "What a pretty little shoe ! You certainly have a pretty little foot. I don't see how you can walk, any way." I said, " You'll oblige me by not commenting on my foot.. Please show me the plates." He s aid ho would, and asked me to walk back. He showed me the plates. I told him to use his own d:scietion about them. He asked me to have a seat. I said no, I would go over to Tyler's, where my friend was waiting lor me. I went over to Tyler's and returned in ab ait ten minutes. When I went back into the store he called a youth to bring ma the shoes. He would not allow me to take them in my hauds. I saw ho had put on them old plate?. I told him that I thought the old plates an imposition. (There was then some conversation about the price of the plates.) CURTIS' ADVANCE UPON THE LADY. Mr. Curtis asked me how I wore my heels off, and to put my foot out and let him see it. I refused. He insisted, and advanced upon me I thought to throw my dress aside. There was then some little conver sation about, the change, which witness related in full. He said thar. she didn't leave but 75 cents. She said she would rectify the mistako, and started back with him. Then he said, "Yes, you did, too." At the same time he opened his hand, whee he had a dol lar concealed, haviug left the 7o cents on the "counter. He said : I certaialy could have made that dollar easy." I made no reply. I was provoked, and said as little as possible. THE LilT AT THE PHAETON. When I got iato the phaeton I was much offeuded an 1 I so expressed roy- Be f to Mis. iiowle.s The Common wealth's Attorney: Nev er mind wha; you i-aid to her. It is no evidedce. Mr. Young contended that it was. and explained why he thought so. The Commonwealth s Attorney would oheei fully admit what she said to Mrs. Bowles if defence would consent to al low the statements of the dead mau to third parties to come in. Alter a brief argument the Court said that the witness might state whether or not she said anything to Mrj. Bowles not what she said. The witness then said she made known her feelings to Mrs. Bowles; that complaint was made to Mrs. Bowles just as soon as we started 011. MR. POINDEXTER'S VISIT TO THE LADY. To Mr. Young: That was on the Friday proceeding the shooting. I saw Mr. Poindexter . the Sunday afterwards. He came to my house and sent a mes senger to ask if I would like to go to the country. He was going to his farm and he asked if I wanted to go up to my brother's. During the drive I related all this about Curtis, except about the young man squeesiog my arm, which I told him after we got back home. He expressed great indignation, and we both agreed that the young man was very insulting. He stopped at his farm a few minutes and then we went to my brothers. My brother was not at home and we came immediately back and reached home about 2 o'olock. Mr. Poindexter spent the afternoon and evening with ma. I live with my brothsr-in.-law, Mr. Alvi", near the new reservoir. THE TALK IN THE LADY'S PARLOR. I think it was in the evening just be fore tea; we were sitting in the parlor Mr. Poindexter and I. 1 occupied a rocking-chair immediately before the fire, and I think he was sitting to my left. He took up a book 1 bad been reading, and in which there was a let ter of mice. I remarked to him that he shouldn't read that letter. He said he would. I told him he should uot. He held the letter off lrom me in bis hand. I started to grab it, and at the same time got up. At the sime time he caught hold of my arm and made me sit back in the chair. I turned to him and said, "ihat reminds me of eome more of that young man's impudence at the shoe-store." Tben I said to him that uurtis squeezed my arm in a very uogentle- nianly way wnen i. got into me puae ton. He had been laughing before, but I noticed his expression change, and he said, He did? I said, "He did." I noticed that he was very angry,ana be said, "I'll horsewhip that ieliow." He said, "What day were you at tne store?" I said, ".Last Friday." tie then asked me for a description of Cur tis, and said, "Is he a bigger fellow than I am? if he is I migbt be atra d to attack him." I said, "You are tall er- but Texpect he is the heavier and stronger of the two." I turned to him and said, "Give me my letter." He said in a jocular manner, T won't do anything of the kind." The tea bell rang and noining more was naiuiiu iuo subject. NEWS OF THE SHOOTING. When I told him about Mr. Curtis squeezing my arm I noticed his expres sion waa one of great anger. He left my house about 11 p. m , or just before. I first heard of the occurrence shoot ing, &o about 2 or 3 o'clock toe Dext afterooou from Mr. Thomas Poindex ter. When I first saw Mr. Thomas Poindexter I was verV much surprised. He was not in the habit of T siting me. I didn't think Mr. John Poindexter intended to carry out nil threats, and when Mr. Thomas Poindexter told me an accident had happened down town The Commonwealth's Attorney ob jected to the witness reciting her con versation with Mr. Thomas Poindexter. Considerable argument followed be tween the Commonwealth's Attorney and counsel for defence. Defence failed to get in the lady's conversation with Mr. Thomas Poindexter, but pre vailed as to getting in her impressions. Young American. Yonker's Gazette. "Johnoie!" said a systematic and in dulgeot father, "you have greatly of fended me, and I shall be compelled to punish you; but as I sever do anything rashly, I will give you time to prepare yourself.

"Well, governor," answered the youth of much classical develop ment, "if you can make it convenient to meet me at the gymnasium at about 3 p. m., I think I can give you and en ergeting interview. X Chinese Opinion, THE CELESTIALS DISPOSED FORM A KNOW-NOTHING PARTY. New Yo k Wo IJ.

His hair and beard are white, with here and there a tinge of light brown re maining. A bald peak runs back from his forehead on each side. His face is bright with interest, despite the folds in his cheeks, liis complexion is clear and red, and indicates good health.

An Unbiased Generation, Chicago Tribune. A great many young editors, those connected with the apringfleld lie publican, for instance, fail to under stand the popular hatred of Jeff Davis, because they have grown up since the war.

The Times' Vienna dispatoh says : The Russian circular draws attention to the state of unreadiness in which the time fixed for the evacuation will probably find East ern Roumelia. It is scarcely to be expected that the new constitution which is now being elaborated, caa be introduced by that time, nor that the organizatioo of the militia aod gendar mere can be far enough advanced to offer security for the maioteoaooe of internal order as contemplated by the Congress. The circular suggests that the international commission, if gup ported by a mixed corps, could, after completing the constitution, and hav ing it sanctioned ;by the Porte in Con stantinople, return to Phillippepolis and in concert with the governoraD pointed by Turkey superintend the introduction of a constitution. From the communications already exchanged between the powers there seems to be every probability of the Russian pro posal being favorably received by all except Turkey. Thus . Italy, toward the end of 1878, broached the idea of mixed occupation, which was then deemed premature. Austria had already proposed it at that Congress; while, to judge by the past, France is not likely to separate hersalf from the other powers. England, since the complica tions in Eastern Roumelia, has taken up the idea, and it caunot be supposed, that Count Sohouvaloff would have advocated it at St. Petersburg had he found the general feeling hostile. The Porte will doubtless regard the project as a blow aimed at the Sultan's au thority, but the conditions of the scheme may do much to overcome its objections. Even according to the Russian suggestion, Tmkey, asasiirna. ' tory powtr could contribute a part of ma occupying iorce, and the term of occupation would be definitely fixed. Eveu if mixed occupation be accepted in principle, it will take tirna to fix the details, and negotiations must proceed expeditiously it the mixed corps is to be on the spot in time to replace the Russiaus. Probibly with a view to await the result ot the circular, the Czar's journey to Livadia has been postponed. Tbe Times' 'Amstautinopls correspondent telegraphs that the oon sent ot the Porte, vvuich at present is an essential condition of the mixed occupation project, woull not baeaiily obtained. The Neuefrcie Presie, of Vienna, says the Porte has formally protested against the systematic expulsion of Mohammedans from Eistern Roumelia by the Bulgarians.
