TilEECONOMLST R. B. Carrcr Editor C r.Lxsra Jjusincss ilaratr FRIDAY... FEBRUARY 17. 1853. THE LEGISLATURE: Hon. Isaac Smith, the ebony representative from Craven county is not the bi;; fool wc thought he was before he deli vered his cnlogy on Gaston from his place in the House. Gaston was a negrophilist, as is proven from his address zX tho University, and his speeches in the Convention of -1835 on free negro suffrage, and it is peculiarly proper that Isaac should keep his memory green and his gravestone re chiselled. There is another reason why Isaac should wear the foolscap in the Legislative school no longer. He is reviv ing North Carolina. bill against the Frcednan's Bureau Bank, which vas no bureau at all, but a negro trap to lift tho last five dollars out of 'old Joe's pocket, as Hoses lifed up the serpent in the wild erness, A bill to abolish cr.unty boards of education passed its final reading in the Senate on Friday, Feb. 8th. We suppose the object of this bill was to rid the counties of tho Fusion boards, many of whom illus trated the blessings of educa tion by furnishing to the pub lic conspicuous examples of illiteracy, degradation and corruption. The further object wo suppose is to supply their with Democrats who know p!a?c the responsebility of their posi tion and recognise the exis tence of tho word "duty' In our vocabulary and who know how to spell the word; without blunder aud can give the meaning of it without scratch ing their heads where it don't itch. A bill to limit eligibilty to State and county officers to three successive terms was in troduced in the House on Tue s day, Feb. 7t!i.This.is a reviv al of tho old question of rota tion in office, a question wheth er it is better to have a com petent, experienced officer, ed ucated up to his official duty aud at thesametimeeducated.in the knowledge of Iris opportun ities of peculation in oflice, or beter to have a green and inexperienced officer, whose greenness and ignorance of opportunities i3 a guarantee and pledge of his honesty. "We belcivo itis better to have a competent officer and leave to tho people that 'eternal vigi lance which is not only tho "price of liberty but the price of a faithful custodian of tho machinery of liberty. The committee on the Nor wood case has reported and re commended that Norwood be impeached. It is well. The Judge, of the brushes,who was put in office by the infamous Legislature of ISO? and fQ$, because it was the best the could do, loved liquor so well thatho has gone to the wicked. Judgo II. A. Gilliam, who said more wise and witty things than any inan.who has lived in North Carolina, and loved his "tod" but despised a drunkard, once said, if 3D could be put on .a drunkard bare back for every offence, there would be no drunkards in North Caro lina. The remedy would have saved Norwood an impeach ment. The Election Law, as report ed by the committee, provides that the State Elections shall be held on the lirst Thurs day in August, instead of tSu first Monday in November, when the NaHonal Election is held. It divorces the Siale from the general elections. The change is made to me::t tho conditions that now exist in North Carolina and which did not exist in 1SS3 when the Codo was adopted; Under it wo will havo a clear cut, un mixed state election. The Legislature is doing its full duty in stripping Gover nor Russell of his power of ap pointments. He is evidently unfit to appoint any one to of fice in tho Btate. Ho is unfit, 1 rem prejudice, r.iUural inca pacity, deviltry, and from the smiH number of decent men, ifanv, from whvxn he has -to cr',t within his party lines. He is a bad innn,. inbred with t.. most dcvili.h venom .and prejudicc7hat "ever cuncda son of man, ana called away from his penalty, the State will never look upon his liko again. Ve are glad tajsco that cur Argus-eyed Legislature has found time to devote some at tention to ornithology, which is a legitimate and natural branch of their business, as much of their time has been devoted to driving out the buz zards who have .been polluting the official life of the State.The chief executive is a buzzard and favors his kind in selec tion to efiice, hence, the State was fast., becoming one .vast, foul buzzard rocst. By a bold and long leap our Legislators have jumped from buzzards, to pheasants and on Wednifduv (Sth) they passed a law to promote the raising of pheasants in North Caro lina. The Stevens anti-trust bill has been reported favorably by the Judiciary Committee, with an amendment that it shall not apply to any wholesale merchant or jobber who is not a party to, or interested in, or the agent of a trust,- nor shall it apply to any fishing, truck ing "or canning industry in the State. AUo, an amend ment was adopted striking out the clause of the bill making it impossible for a trust to col lect by law a bill of goods sold on credit in the State. A charter has .been granted to tho Di.-mal Swamp Kail road (?) Go from home to hear the newr. The three .Democratic mem bers of the nvw penitentiary board appointed by the Legis lature are in Raleigh, and have held a caucus t ultcide ontheir course of action in tho deviltry that confronts them. , They decided to employ legal coun sel to advise them as to what steps shall be taken in assum ing control of tho penitentiary and have selected Burton, Shepherd and Busbee as attor neys for the "Board. Vo sup pose they want advice as to what steps they shall take in getting rid, or around, or over one Bill Day. Shoot Bill, or impeach him In the same arti cles with poor old Norwood, one for drunkenness and the other for cussedtiess. A bill has been introduced to make the number of directors of the A. & yi. College twenty instead of fifteen, and provides for their election by the Legis lature, instead of appointment bv the Governor. (Gracious! how they nick him. Leave him the selection of a house dog). A bill was also introduced to consolidate and revise the school laws of the State this is the public school bill prepar ed by the Committee on Educa tion. The Vance Textile Bill,which has been so highly commended by the public sentiment of the State, passed its third reading n the House on Thursday, (11th) and now rests with the Are Yom t asiiy Jut remember thr.t alt your strength must coma frora your j food.

SCOTT & BOWKE, Cbetnl, New York. : T M Senate to become a law. The vote in tho House on the third reading stood 50 to 32. Impeachments are now in order. Articles of impeach ment were presented in the Senate in duo form by Repre sentatives Craig. Allen and Foushee,on Monday,andtheold man will be thrown down in disgrace under the heavy weight of impeachment. There are worse men in North Caro lina than old Norwood and de serve the 'peach- doso as much. There's old pussy .Russell, tue high cock-a-doodle who de serves a 'peach and a kick,and there's the simian Robinson and the judicial autocrat, Tim berlegs. All deserve a 'peach. Bill Day is in the confession al and tells the committee on Penitentiary affairs that he'll do whatever they say, if they only won't take his head off. Day proclaims 'himself a good child of Democracy, but he has no stick. That's what's the matter with Bill. He's a pig to-day and a puppy to-morrow, and the pigs and the pups both look at him out of the corners of their eyes and waggle their thumbs at Bill. Poor Bill, he is -an object lesson of tho advantage of stickiness in politics. Had Bill Day been more tary on tho heels he would not now be left naked to his enemies. Judge Norwood has resigned his office as Judge of the 12th Judicial District, in order to stop impeach ment proceedings. It was wise in the old man and will savo the State considerable expense. No one who knew him seems to speak harshly of tho unfortunate Judge who fell a victim to an tnemy that has con quered mightier men than he in the world's history. A Legislative caucus on Tuesday r.ight recommended ZL O. Sherill, h one legged Confederate soldier for State Librarian. KolH-rt's is the chill tonic you Want because it cures. 25c per bottle.

LOOKING OUTSIDE, Judging from a personal scrap between a member of the German Embassy in Yrashington, named Von Herman, and Richard Weights man, an official of tho War Depart ment of the United State, who is al so an editorial writer of a Washing ton newspaper, the Geimans are a testy race and "sudden and quick in quarrell." It seems that Weight man had beeu arraigning the Ger man Government for unfriendly con duct toward the United States in the Philipines and "at Samoa. Hot words .followed and Herman, the German, threatened to take off Weigh t man's ears, and in words more emphatic than polite he stated that he would order coffee and pistols for two were it not that Farsnip Complextion. It duos nvt require aa expert to de tect the sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the aliow parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you" bad rheumatism, a dull pain or in the back cr over the hips, stomach trouble desire to urioate often, or a scalding ing in passing it; it after passing there is mi unfatibfied feeling as if it must be at ouce repeated, or if the urine has a brick dunt deposit or strong odor. When theee symptoms are present, no time should le lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instru ment?, or may run into Bright's Dis tlie mot dangerous stage of ot 'kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Koot, the great discovery of the emii ent kidney and bladder specialist, is a positive remedy f.r such diseasep. Its reputation is world-wide and it is so easy to get at any dritg store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it.

Satnrdav of last weeV, when tho snow was benambingour fingers and the slay bells were jinglbg merrily, the battle of Caloocan was raging, near Manila, and troops un der. General Otis were charging tne Filiponos in thier undershirts and some of them fainting from exces sive heat. At this battle of Caloo can the Filipinos loss is estimated from 1,000 to 4,000. The AmerL can loss was one killed and three or tour wounded. This is the beginning of our wrse expansion scheme of this adminis tration. Who will see the ena. When that end comes we will be fortunate indeed if we shall not see an impovished people, an empty treasury, and the man on horse back in the saddle with h!i drawn Bword and the most 'warlike stomach pleth oric with war. It is said that it is the first step, that counts and the battle of Cojoocan is one of the first steps! ' . In the battle of Caloocan,the war ships under" Admiral Dewey in Man ila harbor played a conspicuous and effective part. While the battle raged they were shelling the woods where the troops of Aguinaldo had taken refuge. The English officers, who were overlooking the battle of Ualoocan, where the troops were engaged, commenced the fighting and bravery of the troops under General Otis, and the maneuvering of the army.

Robert Wynne and Mrs. Zuma Wvnne, at Bay, Tyrrell county, and carried to the bosom of Jesus their only child ii.ssie. .Lit tle Essie had brightened the home of her parents three years, five months and a few days. She was the constant oy and sunshine of her home and the beloved pet of her grand parents and relatives. "Ere sin could blight, or sorrow fade," this prescious bud was transplanted to expand and enfold in the garden of parjidise. Fond parents, think not of the dark grave in which you laid the body of your darling, but think of the morning of the re surrection, when vu will meet her - r wr at God's throne on loved to attend old Sunday School, and singing that little "Sweet Story:" high.

How he called little children as lambs to his fold, I should like to have been with them then. They laid her remains by the side of her little sister, at Albemarle Church, to await the coming of the Saviour. Good bye, dear father and mother, but we trust in that blessed promise.
