i f From tiul tenia Times, Aug. 1J 72253 ADVANTAGES MP THE HPRE 8ENTATI0N OF MINORITIES. I- Itia now acknowledged that it is de airahle minorities should bo represented in the House of Commons. The sturdiest op ponents of any, method for securing their representation should be heard in debate and ronnciL but they say they are heard n$w. Mr. Gladstone "sits as the representative fcf the minority in South Lancashire, and in five out of the eigh ' three-membered constitu dnrieaf the minorities have secured represen tation!.. The argument Comes to .this that the Representation Minorities being desira ble, no method should bo adopted to secure it With certainly, because if wo trust to chance it will be attained in five out of eight cases. Fairness may require us to state this plea, but it does Wot seem to require refuta tion. There are, however, two other argu 1 ments which may be noticed. The represen tation of minorities will, it is said, wcaKen the expression of the national will, and this might In critical times involve us in uaugu.. We invite those ,who raise this objection to observe that as lord Cairns' amendment re- axnicd the existence of a minority equal to a third in order ito secure one member out of I three, ft cannot Occasion an oyer-rcpresenta-4ltion of minorities. What, then, is the re sult of the methiod ? Simply this that the representative Assembly wil express with perfect exactnesl the national ill If the will of the nation be clear, the majority m the Assembly wiil be decisive; if it be cau tious and hesitating, the majority will be small; if it bo indecisive; the majority may waver. In all bases, a truthful and not a false representation of the mind of the na tion will be secured, and until some serious j reason is adduced f or bclievirfg that the will of the people should be misrepresented we shall- hold this fact conclusiyo. If critical time come, as come they m:ay, the nation will te equal to them, and its representatives in Parliament will speak with no uncertain voici But let i be observed that the exis tence and maintenance of a truly represen tative Assembly ifJ the best guarantee against cAses, because it j is a security for the pres ei.ee of th moderating wisdom of the coun try in the ruling Assembly. We are told to say, referring to an instance which has been ranch dwelt upon, that had the Rouse of Rep resentatives in theUnUed States been in truth what it purported by its name to be, an Assem bly representing the whole people of the States, the teceision of the ; South would never had been ' accomplished. It is an historical fact that the Southern Representatives at Washington Wore all members of the most extreme party, composed of mehj who had tried to persuade themselves that slavery was a Divine .insti tution. The majority in the South, depri ved of all plower, dwindled away. The slave owners who at the time of the Revolu tion deplored the existence of slavery and desired its abjolition witness Washington himself gradually dninished, and, though never wholly extinguished, their voices were unheard in tie i House of Representatives. On the other hand, the States of New Eng-land--4hemselves happily free rojm the curse which their kinsmen had inherited sent to Washington men Unable, from want of a similar experience, to understand or sympa thize with the difficulties of the South. What was intended by the founders of the Republic to be a consultative House became the battle-field of two hostile armies, and when the more turbulent were outnumbered. thev endeavored io ' abrogate the Union. Men appeal to the! experience of the States : we call them to witness against that system of intrusting all. power of election to local majorities which superficial observers sup pose their history supports.- The example of the Union is equally powerful in disposing of the rcmaing argument aguinst the rep resentation of minorities. It is said that it will throw the control of the ebctions into the hands of managers, and electors under i the domination of a " ticket." Tnusr who advance this argument cannot have ex min- j -ctl it. Is not thcpln:n;mehon Of the "tick et " the consequence in the States of throw ing the whole power into the hands of a majority, so that unless a man subjects him self wholly to the organization ot his party he if powerless, helpless, hopeless ? Dc we not, on a similar scjile, see the same thing here when electors are bound , to accept a club candidate? The limitation of the power of a. majority, so far from aggravating this evil, will most effectually reduce it. Voters wi ll know that though they may bo a minority, they can return their own member-, and they will bo encouraged to rebel against the thraldom of managers. The idea of the representation of minorities is, indeed, nothing more nor less than the liberation of the 1 individual from the bondage in which he now lies ; its perfect realization is, tliat true dc-i mocracy which enlists all forms, of thought, of intelligence, and of power in the political tlfe of the nation, and converts the Represen tative Assembly which directs our destinies, into a microcosm of the Empire." The great Radical leader in England, op poses this scheme of representing minorities. We confess we have only a vague idea of the , method in which the minority representatives arc to be returned. Mr. Bright's letter is as follows: From tho Birmingham Post " My Dear Sib :You see the vqto in the Lords. It partially disfranchises Birming ham. Instead of your having three voices or two, in a great division on a great princi ple, you are now to have only one. Your future Tory members will pair with me or with Mr. Dixon, and there will be left only one Vote for your great community. Bir mingham is now to be reduced to the posi tion and weight of Arundel Or Cable in a great Parliamentary division, and this in the year of reformation and extension of popu lar power ! You will see that certain of the Whig Peers have joined this childish or ne farious scheme . It is not the less dangerous on that account I hope you will take some stepgto counteract this proposition. The great towns Bhpuld send deputations up tol : vuuon w urge the government to maintain .heintorrrityof the bill. ' I do not think Mr. Disraeli tfishcTfo injure the bill. He spoice earnestly against this scheme in the House, anil I hope he will adhere to hiB own view on so grate & matter. You should not for a moment ;tlream of consenting to theauda cioMs'proboeal to destroy the political weigh and force! of your borough. am, sincerely, yours, John Biugiit. t Manchester, July 31, 1867." ntOQfflfSS OF TEE PACIJflU RAin ROAD. The Railroad line between the Missouri River anjd the Pacific; Ocean grows apace from boih ends, andgives promise of an earlier completion than the most sanguine of! its projectors had anticipated. The Eas tern f orKs are rapidly pushing tneir way u the outlaying hills of the Rocky Mountain chain; fmd late advices from tno racmc coast represent the main-stem line as being atthe 'sommit of the Sierra Nevada, with only J thin wall of granite to be cleared awav. when the locomotive can paso regu larlv and rapidly from the waters of the Pacific1 1 the Great Salt Lake Basin. This iaian important achievement, since it disposes of the! most considerable impediment on the Western' half of the route. To hew and blast the! road-bed oyer this 150 miles of mountain ! section is represented to be greater undertaking than to prepare for the ,na vf i fiKO miles which lie east oi it. Ittiiu v. By the use of the most approved engineering resources, a liberal command of cheap and efficient Chinese laborers, together with a large expenditure of gunpowder and nitro glycerine,! tho work has been accomplished ; aind it n4w seems probable that the year 1370 may witness the completion of the line from IjTew York to San JVancisco. On another page is presented a complete and intelligible statement of the Central pacific Railroad route, being built with the aid and supervision of the Government ; its various parts and branches, and the Com- panics! constructing uiem , wc ugn., prospects, and history of the work, together with much intormation concerning me iar West, compiled and published in pamplilet form by the well known bankers, Messrs; Ejsk &j Hatch, who are the financial agents of the Central Pacific Railroad Company. Congress, having generously aided the pro ject by', a grant of bonds and the public lands, has also waived its first lien upon the road ip favor of the first mortgage bond holders, so as to make them joint investors With the preferred claim upon the whole property, It appears that the sales of these first mortgage bonds have been so consider able that, with the other aid it receives from California, the Company has been able to maintain nearly 10,000 laborers at the work ; and, now, that their tedious and difficult portion isj overcome, they hope to be able to increase tjhem so as. to double the working force. 1 The business of the road and the merits and. assurances of tho securities are Bully set forth in their statement, which, we 4oubt jnolt, will command general attention at thisitirne. So many important interests, both of domestic industry, foreign trade, and national unity, are depending upon the Pacific i Railroad, that whatever tends to haste its completion confers a benefit on tjhe coinniunity. N. T. Tribune. tj ' i r-H - ir i ... i THE ROMAN SENTINEL. i There was nothing in Pompeii that invested iit with a jdecper interest to me than the spot where j fk j soldier of old Rome displayed a most heroic fidelity. That fatal day cn which Vesuvius, at whose feet the city stood, burst out inlj an eruption that shook the earth, poured jorrehts of lava from its riven sides, and diachaged amidst the ; i- of a hun dred thpindcrs, such clouds i 1 she- as filled tliA nir! nrndiicrrl ft diirknt.-s aiM UCi" tha" inidnisht and struck such terror into all hearts tjhat men thought not only that the end ofjihe world had come and all must die, but that the gods themselves were expiring ; on that nlight a sentinel kept watch by the gate which looked to the burning mountain. Amidst unimaginabls confusion, and shrieks of terror mingled with the roar of the vol cano, ?anid cries of mothers who had lost their children in the darkness, the inhab itants ed the fatal town, while falling ashes, loading the darkened air, and penetrating every plaice, rose in the streets till they cov ered the: house-roofs, nor loft a vestige of city but a vast siient mou: i!. 1 cneath which it lay unknown, dead nr.d aired, fur nearly 1700 years. Amidst this f n i-iui disordcthe isentincl at the gate hnfcl been forgotton ; jand as Rome foquired her sentinels, happen -that might; tq hold their posts till relieved by the guard or set at liberty by their officers he had tbj choose between death and dishonor. Pattern pf fidelity, he stood by his post. Blowlji but surely the ashes rise on his manly form; jnow they reach his breast; and now covering his lips they choke his breathing. He also was "faithful unto death." After seventeen centuries, they found his skeleton Standing erect in a marble niche, clad in its rusty armor the helmet on his empty skull, and his ; bony fingers still closed upon his spear. And next almost to the interest I felt h placing myself on the spot' where Paul, true to his colors, when all men de serted hikn, plead before the Roman tyrant, was the interest I felt in the niche by the city gate! where they found the skeleton of one, who in his fidelity to the cause of Caesar, sets us an example of faithfulness to the cause of Christ an example it were for the honor iof their Master that all his servants fdllowed. Dr. Guthrie. 1 Pletbora of Monet. Money is said to be abundant in all the great commercial centres in Europe this country, Spain and Italy being the excepted countries. The chief reason assigned for this abundance is traced to the inability of capitalists to use it in the legitimate channels of trade. To this stag nation' ojf trade is attributed the rage for speculation in stocks, owing to which there has beenj improvement in, the trading securi ties. In 'London," Paris and Frankfort, con sola are reported to hare advanced. With this raovement United States five-twenties have sympathised, and, it is said, ' should be higher on account of the increased interest they carry relatively to the consola. STATE NEWS. Rail Road Arrangements. We were ' pleased to learn, in an interview with the enterprising President of the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail Road, Col. Whitford, on yesterday, that a similar arrangement has been completed between the North Carolina and other Roads and the Atlantic, which has been heretofore announced as having been effected with the N. C. and the Wil- mingtbn and Raleigh and Gaston Railroads. If we understand it, the arrangement is the one we have heretofore advocate in prefer ence to the proposition of consolidating the Roads; by which every farmer and mer chant, who find it most convenient to seek a market by using the North Carolina Railroad whether living contigious to the Western (Extension) N. C. Railroad or on the Char lotte and Columbia Railroad, should be able to do so in the cfliickesttime and at the least expense to them. It seems to us that this opens a fair arena for an honorable competition between our Railroads. In carrying on this competition no such reduction of rates should be deter mined on as shall run the Railroad aground but such energy, promptness, fairness and business tact, and such reductions, only, as shall stimulate business and production to a high degree ; that will make all our Roads do well The President of the Atlantic Railroad in forms us that, in a few days, the publio-will be duly notified of the schedule and tariff rates on that Road. Sentinel. Revoked. Our readers may recollect that an affray occurred last fall near Fayetteville, between Messrs. John G. Wright and T. A. Wright," his son, and Capt. John Frey, in the course of which Frey was shot and wounded by the Wrights. The case was duly tried in the civil courts, and judgment was ren dered against the Messrs. Wrights. Not satisfied with the sentence, Frey lately ap pealed to General Sickles to cause the case to be re-tried before a Military Commission, and an order was issued for the purpose The matter has, however, been compromised by tho Wrights agreeing to pay Frey the sum of $ 1,250. The order for their arrest has, therefore, been revoked. .Wilmington Pbst. The Jews are about establishing a syna gogue in this city. They are in correspon dence with several talented Rabbis with the view to the location of one here, and Offer a salary of $2,500 per annum. Ibid. Religious. The North Carolina Confer ence of t,he Methodist Episcopal Church is announced to be hejd at Wilmington, on the 27th day of November next. The South Carolina Conference, of the same Church, will meet at Morganton, in this State, on the 11th of December. Suicide. Mr. William Glnn, an old citi zen of Wake county, residing in Fishdam District, hung himself on Wednesday morn ing last. The caust of the act is not known, They had another case before the military commission in Wilmington on Saturday on the charge of retailing spirituous liquors contrary to Gen. Sickles' order. The Ceops. It affords us much pleasure in being able to state, upon the authority of a gentleman who has, within the last ten days, traveled through Duplin, Wayne, Wil son, Edgecombe, Sampson, Nash and Cum berland counties, that the corn crops look remarkably promising, and the amount of lands planted is extensive. From present appearances, an abundant crop of corn will be made. The cotton crop is not as promis ing as colild be desired. With the prospects before us, with favorable seasons a few weeks, our section bids fair to reap an abun dant harvest.' Wilmington Journal. Carterkt County Ahead First Cot ton. On Sutdrday, we had the pleasure of receiving through Council Wooten, Esq., a fully developed cotton boll, which was brought from the farm of Messrs. Dennis, Jones & Arendell, at Morehead City. We are informed by judges that the cotton is of excellent quality and texture. We believe this is the first cotton brought to Newbern this Season. Our Craven county farmers will have to look to their laureL). The planters in Carteret hope soon to produce an equal to the Sea Island Cotton. Jour. f Commerce. Daring Robbery. Lju Friday, a couple of negroes went to the h . e of a farmer in Greene county, ard w?.iL one of them held the farmer in conversation, the other quietly cleaned the dairy of the milk, and all the cooked victuals it contained. Ooldsboro" Morning Star. Broke Jail. The following prisoners broke out of our jail Sunday night, and made their escape. Calvin Johnson, com mitted some months ago, for drawing money Snder false pretence, from the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad. James Fisher, who was committed last week, for stealing good from Messrs. J. H. & J. C. Privett. Hid. Circus Coming. John Robinson's Circus is en route South. It exhibits at Petersburg on September 2nd. A correspondent of tho Newbern Journal of Commerce, writing from Goldsboro alludes to a small black caterpillar which has made its appearance on the farm of W. T. Dortch, Esq., and up to the time of writing had covered some fifteen fifteen acres of the corn. The correspondent has not, however, been able to learn of a similar instance elsewhere in the county. Cotton, as a genera! thing, is looking very well, but it is now pretty well ascertained that barely a half crop will be made. Registration returns in Crayen county, thus far, says the Newbern Republican, indi cate a large Republican majority. An alligator was seen, shot at and wounded in the Cape Fear river in front of Wilming ton on Monday last. The waters of the Cape Fear river, at Fayetteville, rose fifty-fiv feet, on Tuesday night last. - We learn from the Charlotte Democrat, that flour ia, selling in that city for $4.75 to 5.00 per sack, of 100 lbs. from the wagons. From the Stores, $5.25 to $5.50. That would bv (the highest price,) $11,00 per bbL , WASHINGTON ITEMS. We copy the following items of Washing ton news from divers sources : The Issue of Matured Seyen -Thirties. t is ascertained that of the issue of seven- thirties, which matured on the 15th instant, $280,000,000 haye been converted, leaving but $20,000,000 still outstanding. These will probably all be converted by the time the extension of one mouth given by the Secretary expires. 1 Judge Holt's Removal. The expected order relieving or superseding Judge-Advo cate-General-Holt it is believed will be issued during the present week. Status of the Cabinet. There is no doubt that politicians now, as they have heretofore, ever since the accession of Mr. Johnson to the Presidency, are urging upon him to make changes in the Cabinet, on the ground that thereby the Administration would be strengthened. It is equally well known that the present members of the Cab inet have, more than once stated to thePresi dent that they will not for a moment embar- ur&88 him in mamng any cnange9 in tne Executive Department that he may deem proper, but at present there is no prospect of any such change, the relations of the President and the members of the Cabinet being of the most courteous and friendly character. Gen. Pope's Letteb to! Gen., Grant. The letter of Gen. Pope to Gen. Grant has occasioned a good deal of comment here, and it is generally believed the latter officer will order the arrest of B. H. Hill and other discontented persons. Under the reconstruc tion bill he has a perfect right to do so. It will be remembered that some time ago Gen. Grant counseled the arrest Of Gov. Jenkins for doing exactly what Hill is now guilty of, This fact strengthens the opinion that Grant will act in Hill's, case as he advised Pope to do in Jenkins's. Retrenchment en the War Office. The Commercial's special says that Grant's administration of the War Department is creating astonishment by his rigid economy. and dismissal of the superfluous force. A brilliant wedding, on Thursday last, took place in Washington City, with all the pomp and ceremony of a marriage mass, Captain Bernard G. Cooper, of the Roya English Navy, was wedded to Mrs. Bessie Perine, the daughter of the late Judge Z Collins Lee, of Baltimore. The vast Cathe dral was crowded, and the Revs. Oliver Jen kins, Thomas Foley, and others officiated. After the usual greetings and congratula tions to the happy pair, they "left for lengthened tour through the Northern and Eastern States, prior to their departure for Europe. The Fishe-Bradley Difficulty.- About J thirty members of the bar of Wash ingtonj who hold that the bar have no right to review the orders of the court, have uni ted in a call for a meeting on Tuesday of next week, in opposition to the course of the meeting held last week in the interest of Bradley. These gentlemen hold that mem bers of the bar have no business to interfere irregularly with the orders of the court, and that anv member so , demeaning himself as t. . i c ure Jismissal must rest his case upon its '''p. ...rrits. Ti.'jj Scrratt Trial. The Surratt trial, in extenso, is now in process of official publi cation by the official reporters of the Senate. and they will shortly have it completed. It runs through several numbers of the Repor ter, and will also be issued in separate vol umes. The laborious enterprise furnishes to politicians, lawyers and the public generally, the most admirable compendium of politica' and legal intelligence issued from the press in this country. General Howard to be Relieved.- It is said that Major General O. O. Howard, chief of the Bureau of Refugees, Freednaen, and Abandoned Lands, will shortly be re lieved from duly, and an officer of the reg ular army, not above the rank of colonel, be assigned to the bureau. A number of vol unteer officers now in service will shortly be relieved, and their places be filled by officers of-the regular army. v Plot to -Break Jail Discovered. Another plot to break out of? the City Jail of Washington, was discovered on the 16th inst, which had for itrubject the release of many of the prisoners. A house thief named Smith was at the head of it. He was ques tioned, and finally acknowled that he had a number of files, saws and impressions of false keys which were to be used to effect the escape of himself and others. The saws, it is alleged by him, were brought to Sanford Conover, but were left in jail by that person when he was taken to Albany to serve out his ten years imprisonment for perjury. All those engaged in the plot were immediately placed in more secure quarters. In making room for these prisoners on the second floor, it was found necessary to remove Surratt-to new quarters. He was, therefore, placed in a cell with a man named Henry Johnson, who shot his wife's paramour. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Union of Wash ington, at their regular meeting, held to-night, unanimously passed a series of resolutions strongly condemnatory of the President, for suspending Mr. Stanton as Secretary of war ; expressing their high appreciation of the latter's zeal, patriotism, firmness, and ability with which he discharged the duties of that position ; and declaring that the final triumph of the national arms, after a four years' strug gle with a gigantic rebellion, was due in no small measure to victory organized by the genius and skill of Stanton, the Carnot of the great American resolution.- i In a lengthy article the Washington Chron icle attacks the internal revenue system as. a stupendous engineof fraud, and advocates making the bureau a separate departme"' An English gentleman off er a reward of $10,000 to tlje discovery of apermane- dote for pain iTIe can keep his ter . : From the Episcopal Methodist LIFE INSURANCE. We have before us the sworn statements of the annual returns of thirty-four Life Insur ance Companies doing business m the State of New York, made to the Insurance Depart ment of the State of New York, for the year ending December 81, 1866, and we find upon examination that the Connecticut Mutual, of Hartford, Connecticut represents a better standing than any other Company.

Life Insurance Compa nies ar all found upon a human basis, and add a great blessing to many widows ana orphans, but there is great difference in the workings and economical managing of the several Companies. testimony in favor of life insurance, Rev. Dr. Farley, of Brooklyn, says that he regardTthe institutions of Life Assurrance Companies, particularly on the Mutual prin ciple, as among the highest and most bene ficient of Christian charities. They are be nevolent in their inception and adminiatra tion ; they are every way beneficient in their results. Rt. Rev. Bishop Potter, of Pennsylvania, demonstrates the universal application of the advantages of Life Assurance. It may be employed advantageously for the benefit of families and individuals of all classes of so ciety, as well aa for thosa in moderate cir cumstances. All may, by the exertion of a little forethought and small out lay, protect their families from want. Little Things. The preciousness of lit tle things was never more beautifully ex pressed than in the following morceau by B. F. Taylor : Little martin boxes of homes are generally the most happy and cozy ; little villages are nearer to being atoms of a shattered paradise than anything thing we know of ; and little fortunes bring the most content, and little hopes the least disappointments. Little words are the sweetest to hear ; lit tle charities fly furthest, and stay longest on the wing ;' little lakes are the stillest, little hearts the fullest, and little farms the best tilled. Little books are the most read, and little songs the most loved. And when na ture would make anything especially rare and beautiful, she makes Jit little little pearls, little diamonds, little dews. Everybody calls that little that they love best on earth. We once heard a good sort of a man speak of his little wife, and we fancied that she must be a perfect little bijou of a wife. We saw her and she weighed 210 ; we were surprised. But then it was no joke ; the man meant it. He could put his wife in his heart and have room for other things beside ; and what was she but little Multum -in Parvo much in little is the great beauty of all we love best, hope for most and remember the longest. The Wonders of Science. Chemistry produces the most exquisite dyes from guano and in tar it discovers benzine and an imita tion of the almond oil which is free from prussic acid. Brilliant and delicate dyes are likewise produced from coal tar, besides sulphuric acid and kreosote. Ottar of roses, we read, may be extracted from turpentine, the pride of the Old North State. Butter, " strong enough to help itself," we are told becomes transformed into ravishing odors. And from the sweepings of the shoemaker's shop and the tanner's offal-pit are traced the souces of the blue de France, and inferior qualities of Prussian blue. Such are some of the results which science evokes from ma terial regarded by the vulgar as worthless or incapable of obeying the mandate of man " to come forth." Tattered Greenbacks How to Mend Them. The following is said to be the best plan of mending the greenback currency, which, as all know, is so exceedingly deli cate, and apt to become dilapidated, and torn : After smoothing out the edges, care fully moisten the edges with the tip of the finger, after wetting it on the tongue ; then lay the bill on a piece of writing paper, carefully drawing the edges together, and lay another piece of Writing paper over it, A few seconds rubbing with the finger over the seam will make it adhere, and a little adroitness, when it is dry, will enable a . per-' son to lift the bill from the rpgr;wjfliit tearing it.

It is a -well demonstrated fact that STOCK HOLDERS are dead weights upon Policy holders in a Life Insurance, for having full control of the Company, they not only receive legal interest on their Capital Stock, but charge exorbitant per centage when they do business on the participat ing plan. Hon. Elizur Wright, the greatest life under writer in the United States, says : " A new Mutual Life Insurance Company is something like a ship about to sail from Boston for Japan. She may need a tug to tow her beyond the light. Is that a reason why she should take the owner of the tug on board and give him a free passage for the whole voyage, and, perhaj!820 cent of the entire profits of it?" The Connecticut Life Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn., HAS NO STOCK CAPITAL. The Fifteen Millions Dollars, Assets, all belong to, and are under . the control of its Policy holders, which now exceed 44,000, and notwithstanding the payment of a sixty per cent dividend last year, and over 1,020,000 dollars te widows and orphans there is now a surplus of over 6,000,000 dollars. This Company's Notes cannot be assessed, (nor even deducted from the Policy, as in a Stock Company, in case of death.) except on the limited endowment plan, but are canceled by anticipated dividends. All Policies Non-Forfeitable by tneir terms. No (jsxtra charge made on Policy holders, ex cept only where the risk is extra hazardous. The Undersigned will take pleasure in explaining and proving any of his statements.' All persons contemplating Life Insurance, are requested, and ,ill find it to their interest, to contrast other Companies, represented in tins State, with the Connecticut Mutual, as published in the reports of the Insurance Commissioners of New York and Massachusetts.
