It had ben stated, he said, on the Repub lican aide of the House, that they would vote for the repeal of these laws, pro vided repeal was presented in an inde pendent section. That the declaration had with or without authority, been perverted to mean that they were willing to vote for the amendment if it were prevented aa a ciaraie proposition. That was not onlv a ufferent prv.osltlon, but xactly an opposite propoition, bonauso this amendment did nothing more than re I ! an ecepnti to a restricting law, and the repealing of an exception to u restricting law, far from repe;Uiug the Law itself, actually enlarged and increased its wco,e. lie thought it proper to make that remark so that the l-Mttion on the Republican aide might not be uitsundersbiod. He then inale a length r argument In defence of the r'wleral election laws and In opposition to ihe .uc;iou of State righu, saying iu the count of hia remarks tliat the oeruiHeiit of the L ulled Stale was a government sovereign and supreme, exclusive in its powers wherever those powers acte I.

That the readers of the News might fullj- under stand the object of the proposed excur sion of the Merchants to Richmond, I called on the Chairman of the Commit- tbe of Arrangements, and was furnished tlie following letter, which is published for the information of all whom it may concern : Richmond. Va., April 'J2d, 179. Deak Sin: Without presuming to write you a letter for publication, think I?an give vou a very correct idea of the intended invitations on the part of the Merchants ol this city to the .Merchants of North Carolina, who are localed on the lines of Railroads, connecting with Weldon, that is from Weldon to Raleigh, Weldon to CJoldsboro, and Newbern to Weldon. In consequence of these in vitations, 1 would say it is our wish to make the acquaintance and closer busi ness relations with the merchants, which we hope will be equally benefi cial to both parties. Tickets will be sent only Uj Merchants, none others. Think we can oiler them such inducements in purchasing as will induce them to pat - Jronize. this city largely in the luture. V Our invitations will tully explain the nil I am yours, very truly, Claiborne Watkins, Ch mn. Com. Arrangements. It will be seen that none but those merchants who receive invitations can join the excursion, aud thosy who do receive them will be fully advised by the invitations themselves, as to the objects to be attained by the WHOLESALE TRADE of Richmond in getting up the excur sion. It will be a very pleasant trip to those who accept, aa tho merchants of Richmond will do all they can to contribute to the pleasure of the visi tors. In the meantime I will sketch some of the principal points of inter est in and about the city, including some of the leading business houses and fac tories. DAVENPORT AND MORRIS. This is one of the oldest houses in the South, originally founded in 1818, and has been under its present management for nearly forty years with an increas ing annual trade. Always occupying the first rank in the wholesale grocery trade of Richmond, it is situated on the water front 'of Seventeenth street, where vessels discharge their cargoes, at the very door of their mammqih establish ment. .They are large jobbers of every article iu their line, and importers of nearly - all the staples ot the trade, prominent among which are cofiee, salt, tea, porter, ale and brandy. The Internal arrangements of the house are perfect, and the workings of the dif ferent departments are conducted .sys tematically. The bulky goods of all classes and descriptions are in the base ment, so arranged that orders can be tilled in the shortest possible space uf time. On the ground or lirst floor are the o Dices, shipping, receiving, and accountants departments, finished in a style to warrant comfort, conven ience aqd dispatch of business, Tbe balance of this Door is devoted to su- gars,tc. The remainder of the house, which is KHJ x 1-0 leet five floors, is de voted to the vast quantities of goods which make up the trade, and which covers the extensive territory looking to Richmond for its supplies in the mat ter of groceries. Thej also occupy the adjoining building, 50 x 120 feet, which gives them ampleroom to transact their extensive business. The great success to which the house has attained, reflects great credit upon its management, the trade ami the city, MESSRS, ETTENOER NP VI'MOND. This firm is ou- ol' the largest manu facturers in the South of portable aud stationary steain-engiues.steam lire en gines and tobacco machinery.' Their extensive works are lo'-.dod on 19th and Franklin streets, and arc conducted in a tiiret-srory ones uuuuing, 100 ivei square. Seeral important im provements have iieeu introduced into tho making ot the various ma chines, which enables the firm to com pete with any other concern in the country, and iu some respects to pro duce superior work. in regard to the nneof stationary and portable steam-engines, we shall 'con tine our remarks to stating that they enibo ly all the latest improvements in such machinery , and, while the utmost ittention is paid to the principles oi their construction, the greatest care is taken that none but the finest iron is used, particularly in the boilers, which are made throughout of the best char coal boiler plate (no C No. 1 iron being used), and thev are also strongly stayed in everv part. ine noners nr furnished" complete with large steam drums, safety valves, steam gauge, blow-cocks, check valve, gauge or try cocks, grate-bars, bed-plate, etc. Particular attention is paia to puncn- ii2 the rivet holes accurately, to avoid the use of the drift pin, w hich is so in jurious to boiler plate. Various styles of stationary ana portanie engines are made, the latter being a special ot tne firm, who make large numbers, of them for agricultural purposes, for which they are well adapted, on account of their strength and simplicity. The circular saw-mills manufactured by the firm are especially worthy of attention, both from their sunstanuai character and I general simplicity of construction. These are decidedly the best mills made, and are universally acknowledged to be such by all sawyers who have tried them. Messrs. Lttenger fc Edmond are; in possession of a great number of ocriluoates from engineers and others who bave tested their ma chinery, and all are unanimous in their praise. ' A very important branch of the busi ness of this large concern is the manu facture of improved tobacco machinery. This consists of every variety of the most improved hydraulic presses, iot or finisher presses, box presses, pot mills or finishers, hot air dryers, pumps, steam engines, licorice boilers and spice grinders. This tobacco ma chinery, of superior quality, is in greit demandnd the firm has an extensive trade, foreign and domestic, in thi branch of their business.

There are hundreds of men in this county who, having failed to list their poll tax, are being hounded down by a set of hungry officials, gaping for "costs," "fees" and the like. These are stringent times, and it is all that many a poor imui can do to provide fbxj, shei. ter and fuel lor his family. While it is very proper that every man should pay a poll tax, yet it is equally right and proper that every man should be placed on a common looting in this respect Only a few are being approached and run to death for a few dollars, while the community is thronged with an idle. worthless class, who do a majority of tne voting and never pav a dime. And there is another class who were fortu nate enough to list their tax, and who are rarely if, ever confronted by these hungry vampires, and nine-tenths of w horn never pay a single farthing. Now, the point we makeisthis: the man who does not list is entitled to the same con sideration as the man who lists for the express purpose, as manv avow, of not paying. The common expression is "Well 1 ve listed, therefore I'm safe. and shall not exert myself to pay the tax. : Is a large class of our poor people to oe imprisoned in the common mil be cause they are unable to pay their tax es, m this proud land which boasts of liberty. It is a fact, that there are manv wno uareiy mate enough to provide a very precarious livelihood for their families. But such is the case. Th decree has gone iortn mat ait wno iaii to come for ward and "square up," are to be incar cerated and fined To whom shall the suffering poor appeal, if the govern ment is incapable of protecting them? Laborer. Letter from Senator Henderson -Trie Short Form of IeeI. Correspondence of the News. Salisbi ry, NT. C, April 22. In your issue of the 20th inst.. vou have misrepresented entirely my posi tion in regard to the "short form of deed." which you say passed the Leg islature at its recent session. Sec. 3 and 4, of the alleged act, read thus: "Sec. 3, The following form shall be "Sufficient as a deed for real property "within the meaning of this act: "Received of (the buyer) $ , "in full for (describe the property.) "(Dated) (Signed by Seller.) "Sec. 4, Such deed shall without ex "press words import a general warran ty, but any other covenants maybe "inscribed 'by the parties, or it may "operate as a'quit-claini, if it shall be "so expressed."' I have not contended, that it might not be proper for the General Assembly to enact such a law, although the reference you make from Kent and Coke show s, that no such enactment is necessary. What-1 did say however is, that the bill was enrolled 'by the clerk and signed by the presiding officers of theOeneral Assembly, without having passed either the Senate or tho House which the Journals will show. And I am therefore of the opinion, that the said bill has never become the law. A substitute for the bill, recommended by the Judiciary Committee, was adopted. and is the law. The substitute accom plishes the main purpose of the original bill, and was satisfactory to the intro ducer of the latter. My object in calling attention to this matter was to put the people on their guard against the printed law. For a dee l drawn in the proposed form will neither convey a good title, nor contain a clause of warranty. A deed drawn in the form suggested by Kent, Vol. IV, 461 is a very different thing, aud has always hoeii good. I am as much m favor as anybody of doing ava3" with tho present cumber some forms of indictment. And the Legislature of 79. is entitled to the credit of making some steps in that direction. John S. Henderson. TeuneMsee Keg-roes Crazy Too. The Kansas fever has broken out in a mild form among the negroes of Mid dle Tennessee, and a number of them, who are in comfortable circumstances, are about to start for that land of prom ise. Kvcn the utmost Radical ingenuity cannot torture this movement into any connection wiih polities, as the blacks in Tennessee have made no complaint of their treatment by the M-hites or of their political condition. Ai in Louisi ana and Mississippi, they are lured away by the glittering inducements held" i u by oily-tongued railroad and laud agents, who go about describing Kansas in such fanciful colors that it appears to the excib-d imaginations of their hearer as i "an-vn appeared to the Hebrew bondsmen in Kypt. With such a picture before ;heir eye, they pay no attention rr. tbf sa ', story which mines from Wyandotte. They insist upon realizing in their own condition that it is "an o'er true tale." XF,(iRO EOIl N Tht Miserable Hcheme. Durham Toba rco Plant. We warn our colored people against being entrapped bv this miserable scheme. In North Carolina the color- I ed people are as a general thing pros perous and happy, aud while they have not made that progress wo would have been glad to have seen in morals and other essentials necessary to make them a great people, vet there is causa for congratulation. We don't want to see our colored people deluded from their homes when they are making a good and comfortable living simply to build up and strengthen the Radical party. Their welfare is not considered in this movement, but the success of Radicalism is the motive power. The colored people should beware of such friends. Of all the Crimes. Hillsboro Recorder. Of all crimes tho Radical party has been guilty of, that which instigated the exodus of the negroes from their plantation homes on the Mississippi to enoo jntor the cold charities of Kansas in the deepest, because the most delib erate, the most cruelly calculating, and the most disastrous to the parties of any yet perpetrated upon those miserable victims of political exigencies. As will be seen in our news columns, the wretohed emigrants improperly called refugees are starving and dying ; and the Government is earnestly appealed to for help. It is a crim9 that will recoil upon the perpetrators ; for through the leaders of the radical party are cold blooded enough to sacrifice the negro by hecatombs to earrj- a point, their fol lowers will recall at a measure which proclaim that "the blood of the negro m the see l of tho radical faith."' 3fortb Carolina" Cotton Maaufae tnrefi.

'he largest whale ever killed on the North Carolina coatt was killed on the 11th instant near Morehead City, by Messrs. Willis t Gurrie. She was sixty feet long, the bone was eight feet three inches long. The blubber waa from eighteen to twenty-three inches thick.

A Capital Bdrleaque. Hlllsboro Recorder. The Raleigh News in a late issue has capitally burlesqued the sensational style of the northern newspaper re porter in its report of the death of a somewhat conspicuous colored man of Raleigh. We do not remember ever to have seen a more excellent take off of the use of subheadings to bring out into prominent display incidents which would fail to impress the reader ex cept for the use of big letters and flam ing lines. From the hrst alarming swimming in the head, down to the time when the victim of the fatal attack becomes cold as ice, there is a thrilling sequence of a startling reminder to fix the drowsy interest of the reader in the mortal agonies of a very respecta ble negro.- The press of North Caroli na owes a debt to the local of the News for showing up the absurdity of typo graphic fraud. Revenue Raiderw In OniBf. Hillsboro Recorder. V Friday afternoon, a party of revenue men on norseuacK, witn long goose feathers stuck in their hatsmarched In town triumphantly escorting a eaDtur- ed still and other contraband property. We learn that the party under com mand of Gen. Gorman had made a suc cessful raid in the Northern part of tho county along the Person ' line, finding and destroying live establishments belonging to Alvis Parker. Ward, Sam, llorner, and two others whose names we did not learn. One of the stills captured was in full blast, and so hot that the capturers had to wait till it cooled olf before they were able to seize it. Tennyson's Proal Appearance. Boston Transcript. Mr. Tennyson, walking in, a Iondon park the omer day, met a writer who describes the poet thus: "He looked tali, somewhat stout, round-shouldered and he walked with a stick, as though the gout was hanging about his legs or feet. He had a long beard, which al most buried his face, and wore a pair of large, round, Chinese-looking specta cles. He had on a very broad-brimmed, weather-worn felt hat, dark trous ers aud gaiters, several undercoats or jackets, covered all over by a. thin, Btiabby looking red tweed oust coat, buttoned very tightly.as though it were much too small for him. Dangling outside, from what should have been a clean, white shirt front, was a pair of large, gold-rimmed nose spectacles. He was one of the oldest looking crea tures I have ever seen out of a Mor mon meeting." AlimToiTof UrMnVaek.M.
