Senator Vancs'a Address to the People Senator Vanoe haa issued an address to the people of North Carolina. It oc cupies six ojlutnns in the Charlotte Ob terver W» have read it with much in terest It is well written as ar| all of the distinguish d Senators public papers It is a very Btmng document, and will be read with profound interest by North Carolinians who have delighted to follow bis successful leadership for nearly twen ty years The Siar not having publish ed the already voluminous discussion, but a few extracts only, is deprived of the privilege »f publishing this A ddrtsf, important as it is. If we publish this we must go back and publish the artful an' aoute doouu-eots prepared oy the attorn ays of the Hiahinond and Danville Syn dicate, aud the interminable literature that will folluw in all probability. Senator Vance ma kes a clear statement of the matter in dispute. We have no I doubt that a large majority of the people who may read it will sympathze with him waimly in the great figbt be is wag ing with a grasping and aggressive mon opoly which appears bent on controlling every road which cau possibly benefit North Carolina. Senator Vance says : A corporation chartered by a neighbor ing Stace called the Kichmond aijd Dan ville Railroad Company, haying procur ed control of the jjreat artery of our State oommerce, the North Carolina Ruilruad, lias gone on adding road after road ttulil they have secured cen tre! of the VVcsteru North Carolioa, the Northwestern North Carolina, the Char loll*, Columbia & Agust*; the Atlanta & Charlotte Air Dine; the Spartanburg & Aihville, the Spartanburg & Union and the Virginia Midland' and are said to b* treating for the remainder in this region. By these means they denomi nate the ouly remaioig road by wbioh all that vast region west of Raleigh can fiud a way to the sea for its product*. And now a region of country etubraoing jn North Carolioa alone a population numb> ring more thao 800 000 souls' to say nothing of the regions in adjoining Stales, is under an 'astriction' as to ever ything they buy from abroad Three men, or ai most a half dozen compel, these 800.000 by force of circumstances, a* rigid as posiiive law, to ship and r- ship everything by their lines of trans portation at their own prices No'.Mul ture,' 'tbitlage' or 'thraldom' of the Middle Ages was more inexorable Rverywhere our corn bas to be 'grouud at the lord's mill.' "Not a bale of ootton, not a pound of tobacco' not a barrel of our naval stores, not a bushel of our wheat can be seht abroad that these lords do not first sit in council and determine how much thereof shall Be theiis. Nor can a sack of salt, or of oofl'ee, or a pound of iron, { or auythinf> else that oar people need 1 from abroad be brought into them, with- j out a levy of there 'multure ' One hun dred and seventy Senators and Represcn tatives oftbe people meet in the city of Kaleigh, biennially, and under the sol emnities of uu oath and the responsibili ty of an account to an outraged people if they do wrong, levy with the utmost impartiality and justice, §SOO 000 annu ally upon the people, for the support of the goverment; this half doxeo moo without oatb, and no responsibility to anybody, in a distant city' without the pride of citizenship, from time to time sit down aud levy a tax of more than three times that which our Legislature imposes, and collect it by dintreu. They levy it too without fairnets or jus- : tice, makeing a man in one uommuniiy pay more for the same service than one in another comuiuuity, aud often mak ing this difference between men io the j same coumiuu ity. Truly they sup in' our cup, they dip iu our dish ' Thete are the leecbes who suck our common wealth' and they will aot bate us a pin. | Truly it may be said that this Qiant Monopoly has the appetite of a cormor- 1 ant and the squeezing powers of a Boa ooostiictor. It has already swallowed nearly all of the railroads within its reaoh, and it hasab ut squeezed to death the trade between the sections of the State. The fondness of the horse leecb for blood i* not comparable to the gr«ed of this corporation for ibe life's blood of North Carolina. Its managers are now sitting by the banks of the Jsmes in Virginia' and like that famous hero of antiquity' the Mauedooian Alexander ' who wept because there were no more worlds to oooquer, they are grieving j with a sorrow that only a aoruid nature J can anderrtand. that there are not a half dozso other North Carolioa railroads they can gobbl* up plaee nafely io their Mpaoious maw. We believe that Seoator Vance I* act ing undtr the best impolara of his nat ure, sod doing what he beliefs sineerelj to be for tbe best for the people of his i native Carolina Bi» arraignment of I Monopoly is made with exceeding force j and perspicacity He has discussed the evils that grow out of monopoly in a way that all may understand. Whatever | nay be the merits of iho discussion be i tween the Senator and the attorneys of j the Kuford Syndicate, there can be but j one opinion, we apprehend, anion# fair minded people, the way the Syndicate i is treating the North Carolina shipers over their roads. People may differ | as to the uieriU of certain poin * mixed | in the long discussion over this railroad ! embroglio, but there will be little dis i puta atuong honest intelligent people 1 as to two pointa : that Sfaatof Yan&e is actuated'in what be does by a high sense of public duty and with an eye single to the protection of the tieople; and, second, that h* makes out a very | strong case why, as a Commissioner of I the State, representing the interests of j the people, he thuuld not agree to extend I the time asked lor by the Kuford Syndi ) cate His charges against tbat Syndi cale that they are discriminating against j the people of North Carolina to their | serious dutrin.eiit'ind in favor of for j eiguers, and in violation of the express j terms of the oontraot or sale are fortifi j ed by what seems to be very abundant, striking and sufficient faots. It eeeui9 to us the simple question re solves itself"iuto this : has the Bulord Syndicate complied With the act of As sembly as to the- construction of the road (the two branches) ; and ba> there been discrimination " ayaia»t North (Car olina towns and oities in the matter of transportation rates;" and has there been "discrimination made between the towns and cities of North Carolina 1" These things are forbidden positively in the act of Assembly. In other words, . has the Buford Syndicate performed its part of the oontraot ? Has it been guilty of sins of omission and has it been guilty of tint of commission? If Senator Vance dies not sh«w that the Syndicate baa nor complied with the term* of the act. then wo confess we do not understand the matter at issue. If be doe* not prove that it failed to do what it bargained to do, then we are stupid If be does not prev« that 'hey have done what they were bidden by ex press enactment not to do, then write us down simpletons. If then, these things be so, what right or olaim has the Buford Syndicate upon the generosity, forbearance or long suf fering of the Commistioners of the State? What claim have they to ask I for further iodu'gence and for* blanket of charity to cover over their invasions j of the rights of the people and of law '( There is very much in the address tbat is excellent reading for these times, and the people should wo : gh well what their trusted leader says In no (.artof our eventful history ; at no time siuce the people first called him from the head of his regiment until now, has Zebuluo 15 Vance ever forgot his allegiance to North Carolina or has be ever deceived the people. He will not dtoeive tbcm now. Ho is not iufaliible, but like the wisest »f the children of men he is lia ble to error. His judgment may falter, bis wisdom may not bo always equal to every emergency; but that he is honest, worthy of trait, worthy of the confidence of all good men he has proved in a hun dred ways, in the most critical times, in war and in peace, at home and abroad, io Legislative hal s, in the Gubernatorial Chair, and in the'high office he now holds. When the honest, true people ol I North Carolina learo to mistrust to de nounoe the man who has been aa irueto them at the need 'e is to the pole, it must be beoause of some wanton aot of treach ery hereafter, and not beoause he is be- I iug pursued by the hired attorneys who represent a corporation without soul or aercy or fear, and that baa never shown that it oared a baubee fur the people they are hoodwinking, binding aud dis crowning Wilmington Star.

A few days sine* twenty eight eonvicts were sent op to the Western North Car olina Sailroad from the Penitentiary The Young Lawyer's First Case. JUST WHAT TIIK OLD FSLLOWS IIAVS ALL 11 *8 N TIIBOIOU. The young lawyer concluding his first osse before a jury is worthy of the deep est commiseration - '~Tako him, for in stance, in the oiimioal court, befure which he hag a esce. While the prose cutiug aitorney is tying the first witness iDto bew-knots and untying him again, the amateur tits listening, but endeavor ing to look us unconcerned as a unrble Btatue in a thunderstorm lie throws in tiui' l ohjecions every time he thinks ' |ie hole and bh each one H over ruled by the Court, he puts on a fciern look, «b much aa to nay, "I'll knock the wind out oi' that in d.e Supreme Courl!" When the prosecutor, usmlly an old> ; able attorney, dryly says, '"Take ihewit nes*," the youthful aspirant liembleH a i little and eudcuvois to swallow souse i thing that is slicking iu h'S throat. Ue leels that e»ery eye in the room is upoa I hiui and that they are as hot as move | lids. Lie fires a few questions at the witness, and warms as he piocecds until he is brought up standing by, ,- Oh ! your honor, we object to such irrevalent questions," followed by a few scathing remarks from the prosecutor. The Cuurt sustains the objection, and advises the young lawyer to keip within the bounds, which sets him to wondering I • , where in thunder the bounds are. Ob jceiions lollows objection, and each oue is promptly sustained. lie wonders why it is that a free and independent people will tolerate »uch one-aided justice. He | lunge* ahead blindly now until he be j onmes so confused that he does not know ; whether ha ia a practicing attorney with a gilt aigo, Or a fly-wheel on a wood-saw. Finally he runs outofques tions, and with a sigh of relief or some thing tells the witness "That's all." So he griuds through, and at last the prose cutor rises and proceeds to addres* the i j'irj iu * uiMtprly uyU A» he prog ; retses he pick* up the evidence adduced hy the defence into particle* Sue enough to be incorporated into codfi.-h ball*. The youthful Blacksione wrestler begins to feel uncaty a* his mind reverts to the faot that in a few moments ho must de liver his maiden speech He wiahet the prosecutor would bold his grip and keep it until time to adjourn court, feeling satisfied that he could make a splendid speech the next day after a nights fight ing on the evidence, lie triad to re member what the witness swor* to, but cannot recall the evidence to save his life. The prosecutor finally winds up with a grand peroration, and aa he Hays; "And in conclusion, gentlemea of the jury," the youth nervously fingers his moustache, if h* happen* to have one aboct bim, and wishes ke had never be gun the abomiutble business. Cold chills are lingering him all over the back as if miasuiiog him for a new shirt, and his spinal eolumn acts like it was tired and wanted to sit dowh a while. Like liauquos ghost, the lump in his throat won't down by an obstinsto ma jority, and he swallow* at it and won der* what he is ;otng to say and how loog it will take him to say it. As the prosecutor oilmly takes bis seat the young lawyer rises and mores to the front. Ho dare not look at the audi enoe, and tries to imagine there is do one io the room but himself and the twelve sphinx-like forms io the jury box. The eye* of each juror are fixed upon him, aud he would almost relia quish hi* hope of heaven if some one would rti*e a cry of fire to divert their attention until ho get* a start Finally ne sbugs hi* shoulders atd manage to remark, "Oeutleu.cn of the (swallows) jary Very good. He theo surveys them a moment, aod every man in the box tbivka he ia endeavoring to read their thoughts, but he iso't. He i* wishing to yraoious he eoold read his own thoughts. At last he strikes out sod goea tor thea* about their iutelligent looks, sod how he feels that bis client's interests are sate io their haods At the same time he feels serious doubi* aa to their safety in hi* own bands. He worries through bis apeeeh with aa ave rage of two swallowa at that lump to ths seoteuoe. The prosecutor closes the ar gumeat and the eaaa goes to th* jury, who retire to a seuloded room to ohew tobacco and ask eaoh other what they thought of it. It eo happened that the flimsy testimony against ihs aocustd war- I rftiU a verdict of not guilty, whereupon ] tbe amateur grasps the client'* hand*, i whisp*r* "It was a hard fight, but I got { you out of it !" Then he rises, loads 9p enough law books to swamp a mud scow ca«ts a triumphant look at the Prosecut ing Attorney, who smiles nleasantly in return, and walks slowly and majestical ly down the aisle to tbe door, with as much dignity as if he owned a west*rß railway. OS, you can't deny it, even you old veterans —you've all be.in there ! Ex-Senator Merrtmon. i The party of tourists who visited Ashe ville from here returned and were much I pleased with their trip.

It ought to have j been "Goose grease,"—to suit the gulls | who purchased it.— Farmer aud Me | ehanic A Trap for Shbep-Kili.ino Dons —The Lynchburg Virginiag describes i an ingenious trap devised by a Virginia farmer to eaptute sheeh-killing d >gs. ' Having suffered severely form the dep | redationsof dogs upon his sheepfold. he built around a number of sheep that dogs had killed an inclosure ot rails twelve feet high, and about ten feet sq'iare at the ground, and tho sides sloping inward i until an opsning was left about five feet square. Any dog could easily climb ' such a sloping feuce and enter the pen, i but not a grey-hound could jump out of lit In three nights the farmer enptur 'ed 46 dogs, including fifteen or twenty , that had never been seen before in that j neighborhood. This, after there had been a public slaughter of all dogs sus pected ot sheep killing, save one, whose master could not be convinced of hi* I guilt. The trap was buiit fur his spe cial benefit, and it caught him tbe first night. A poultice of fresh tea leaves moisten ed with water will cure a stye on the eye lid. Fbr earache, dissolve assaloctida in water; warm a few drops aud drop in the ear, thtn cork the ear with wool. The true physiological way ot treating bnrns and scalds is to at once exclude the air, with cotton batting, flour scraped po tato. or anything that is handiest. The following dribk for relieving sick ness of the stomache is said to be very palatable aud agreeable: Beat up one egg very well, say for twenty minutes, then add fresh milk one pint, water one pint, sugar to uiuke it palatable ; boil, and let it cool; driok when cool.

WM. B GRIFFITH, Beo. Cbarhtte September 16, 1881. colored vs. Bald-Headed. Years ago the then well-known firm of W. & Co, Boston, agent* for a popu lar liee o: Australian packet ships, re ceived a letter of inquiry from Cincinna ti. Correspondence followed, and se cond cabin passages wore engaged for Mr and Mrs Joseph Hatfield, their son Joseph, Jr, and Miss Blanche, who were politely urged to put in an appear ance in Boston on, or before May sth, as ' the good ship Daniel Sharp, whereof Joseph D. Cushing is master for the present voyage," would sail on the fol lowing day, weather permitting. Ou the morning designated, a young darkey exquisite, sporting a tall hat and ivory-beaded cane, sauntered into the elegantly appointed office and demand ed : • Is dis yer de office of W & Co. V "Yes, it i* " growled the seuior W. from behind bis desk, lrowuiog eyer hie gold bowed spectacles at tbe intruder. "Well, sah, lue aud my folks are gwine out to Melbourne in your ship Daniel Sharp, and 1" • Not if I kuow it—you are not going to do any such thing." "How so, sah? Didn't I correspond wid you from Cincinnati, and engage piseagc for my fadder aud mudder and Miss Blanche?" "What! is your nam* Hatfield ?" roar ed the dismayed ageut. "Yes, sah, my name's Hatfield, and"— "Wny iu the devil didn't you notify me that you were colored ?" • Why in de debbil didn't you notify me -at you were bald-headed ?" The pertineut rejoinder silenced old W., and although two or throe passen gers who preferred to have the oolor line drawn outside of a *1 ip's sccoud cabin gave up their berths and were refunded their passage money, the Hatfields ootn placently sailed in the Sharp. The editor of the Statosville Land mark wrote to the Auditor of the Treas ury at Washington asking if it we* tru« that the Government had deolared ooins with bolus in thetu to be worth only half prices The Audition replied that no suoh order had been made and that that the government would have no right to make suoh an order, that saoh coins will be reotived as bullion and will be valued aooording to amount of silver in them. The New York Herald says that Cook ling will succeed Windotuae Sec retary of the Treasury.
