AM/i/.'Clir GAUGE KAILIIOAbS.
Tlicro seems to bo an ill-founded
prejudice among our people against nar
row gauge railroads which, we are satis
fied, springs from entire ignorance of
the subject. A. careful investigation
has convinced u«, that if we can get a
■narrow gauge through line, it would be
■better for this section than a standard
gunge. We do not mean to rehearse all
the arguments in favor of the narrow!
gauge, but will only submit one fact in
its favor, that is, its cheapness of con
struction and consequent cheapness of
freight rates. As an instance illustra
ting this point we state the following
facts gleaned from the Marshall, Texas,
7'/(- Weekly Herald. Marshall is on
the main line of the Texas Pacific Hail
road ; it also has lines connecting it di
rectly with St. Louis on the north and
Galveston and New Orleans on the
South. ISut it seems that the Texas
and St. Louis Narrow Gaugw road which
lias been built to a little town called
Pittsburg, in Upshur enmity, about 20
miles from Marshall, is hauling freight
so much cheaper than the standard
gauge roads can afford to do, that Mar
shall and Jefferson arc threatened with
destruction unless they build branches
to the narrow gauge trunk line. The
Herald says .
® "Since the completion of the St. Louis '
and 1 t'xas railroad the merchants of
Marshall, us well us of Joffers,n and
other points, see the gtcat advantages
afforded by that road over the Gould
roads iu reduction of freights. '1 ho
little town of Pittsburg gels ear load
rates less than Jefferson or Marshall, '
and can undersell our merchants, and
by reduced rates on coiton, can pay
better prices for the staple. This is
talk iu dollar aud cent language, and
Jias no uncurtain sound. It means bus- |
iness. It means that Marshall must do
something for herself, or lose what she •
liis. Jefferson has already begun to ,
feci it, and six of her largest, business
firms have left or are preparing to leave I ■
for more promising fields. " !.
"The vital |nestion with Marshall is: '
what to do, and how to avert the im
pending calamity. Therij is but one 1
answer ; build a road Uh, Pittsburg or .
(iilmer, mid thus got connection with
the narrow gauge system. This can be 1
easily aud quickly done, if the people i
will take hold of it in earnest.
* • • * •
"What Marshall wants is the road, 1
no matter who builds it iu competion ,
with the Gould system. The people
can well afford to give the $ >O,OOO. '
They will get it back in reduction of ,
freights alone iu oue year , aud the in
crease iu business and trade in all bran
ches, and the advance in property val- t
ue will be in excess of the outlay and a ,
clear gain to the city.
"A mjimui jal was signed yesterday to
the executive committee of the St. Lou
is and Texas road, congratulating t'.iem c
on the completion of their road,and ap
plauding their energy, and asking their 1
attention t,o the advantage of a branch a
road to this city. This is good as far
as far it goes ; but will not build the '
branch to Marshal!. Railroads are not c
built that way. If this people want .
the road they must tuko hold of it r
themselves. Let them do what they 1
can, and they will then be in condition t
that their call for help will be heard
aud will bring the material assistance S
needed."
Now, in view of the foregoing, v.'c
should say that they best thing that
could be done iu reference to the .Pan
bury branch projuct, would be to get
the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley compa
ny to build this branch on the 3-foot
gauge, so that its construction would
lessen the length of narrow gauge road '
to bo built between Walnut Cove and
the White Sulphur Springs
The interesting question of the value ,
of a stolen kiss will shortly eoino before .
a Syracuse judge aud jury for decision. >
A grocer of that city recently kissed ,
one of his customers, and a lawyer is ,
now drawing up a complaint. The issue c
is 4 momentous one. The first inquiry t
probably will be, "Can there be such a t
thing as property in kisses V' If this
shall be decided in the affirmative, the
further one will arise of the classification t
of kisses. All kisses arc, of course, 1
' t
precious but some kisses must be more '
valuable than other ones. The sixteen,!
fof instance, is obviously dißerout from ].
th« kiss of sixty. The kiss of plain I
girjs is not to be compared with those 1 f
of pretty ones. What is tho status of j
a widow's kiss ! All these points will |
have to be takeu into consideration iu 1
tho coming suit. If the young ludy '
whom the grocer robbed is engaged, a
suit for damages will probably lie against t
him on the pari of Lcr fiancpc. c

131 M Kill A TIOS,
In all parts of Norfh Carolina can be
heard something of immigration. The
people aro about to become convinced
that a grand change in farming must bo
made, aud under tho power of such cou
olusious they will not forget that our
State stands second to none in the glo
rious South in both climate and soil. Wc '
could by proper management develop
our resources to the great gratification
of our sister States. The requsitc means
are not foreign to us, only a little con
sideration with true interest and time is
necessary to explore the vast weal th of
North Carolina. The history of our
State pleases tho most profound reader
and thiuker, for nothing profitable would
be straining to her. but would only allow
the people to soc what they have read iu |
history. We have more different kinds
of wood than auy State in the Union, our
capacities for manufacturing arc well to j
the front, our srtil can produce Most*
anything from wheat to oranges, iii fact j
there can be uothing mentioned which is j
profitable that cannot be raised iu North '
Carolina. Now what must bo done to i
meet all these resources' Wo only an
swer that the movement now in case is
required for such.
Mr. Patrick, Immigration Agent for
North Carolina, is working in good faith,
and we should lend our aid to him. Tho:
minds of imigrants are upon North Car-j
olina, so it would be no tedious task to j
have them among us. The farmers of
our section would do well to consider the j
imigration question, they aro thoroughly '
acquainted with tho present modus opor- j
audi on the lauus which they possess,'
and we have no doubt but that they will
agree to alter the plans of farming wliioh \
they have adopted iu the last fifteen |
years.
JUDGE A. S. MEUU ISIOS.
Judge Merrituon has been appointed ,
by Gov. Jarvis to tho vacancy on the'
Supreme Court bench, caused by the'
resignation of Judge ltuflin. The ap-j
pointment is a good one, for, as a cotem-1
ponry remarks, wo know of no man who ]
stands higher tor (lie moral qualities j
necessary in a J udgo of the Court of last!
resort, while in the chanaoter of » judge
of the law, Mr. Mcrrimon has a repn-!
tation that is not bounded by our State
lines. While Judge Merrimon was Sen
ator his opinions were relied on as high
authority iu all matters iuvolviug the |
Constitution, and his decisions will have
accorded to them the very highest con- i
fidenoe aud respect. In our opinion the
Governor has doue excellently well in
the appointment.
Social equality must follow political
equality as naturally as night follows!
day and the dawn succeeds the darkness, j
aud it is only a question of tiiuo after
negroes and white men have met togeth-1
er in tho same convention and voted to- j
gcthcr the same ticket, when they will j
bo found eating together at the same
table atid drinking together out of tb |
same dcuiijohu:
Tho Charleston A ews and Courier is'
right. W hen men in Congress, or out
of it, vote on their convictions of what
is right, and not according to party
dictations, we shall have more worthy
and efficient political action. Ileal is
sues aro obscured by tho demands of
party. Those who think alike should
act together on every question which
arises.
Congressman Kelly, of Philadelphia,
who is now traveling in Europe, sends
a challenge across the water to the
"corrupt and oppressive internal reve
nue system'' aud its advocates. He de
clares that no party dictation anil no
caucus will deter him from urging im
mediate repeal of the taxes on whiskey
and tobacco.
From tho opening of the gates of the
Louisville Exposition, August Ist to j
Saturday cveuing last, 46 days, the at-1
tcndince exceeded 412,000 people. The I
Connor-Journal says there is no teason j
why these figures may not be doubled I
in the bait' which remains, making the
total attendance something between
900,000 and 1,000,000.
