M'KSSKN'GKK BUIJEAl', PiAl-Ki'iil. N. C Sept. 17. S A .-um.mrj'i y of Dr. Mott's resolution, adopted byjtfie IC.'pur!ic;tn State Exe cutive committee yesterday, was frent you. The (full te-xt of the resolution r as follows: 4V.voi7f,jThat a hub coinruiUee of threi1; mernber of the Executive. -committee, who shall a'pointone of their number secretary, be appointed to. re ceivc and tiake evie nce C4)ncerning the regUtratiop of voters in the State, and to prornotejand encourage regi-tration of voters ir) the State, and to promote and encourage registration in all the precincts, and fur ther, to encourage a county Republican ticket in each coun ty in the State, for the purpose of se curing a full and free vote and of af fording evidence to the National Con gress of the necessity or not, as the case may be, for the enactment of a national election law. I Jit, sohed further. That the State Exe cutive committee furnish money, so far as it cab, to pay a canvasser in eacn township ifi the Slate to secure regis tration and ,furnUli evidence of obstruct lion j Dr. Mott made quite a speech in pressing the adoption of this resolu tion. He had a good deal to say about the State election law, which the Radi cals harp upon at, all times. They try to make the negffoes believe it is a bad law. Sotne negro preachers hav3 made it their business to speak of the law, when really they knew nothing at all alou( it. One of th-m so con fessed to your correspondent, yet there is good reason for the belief that, after he was better informed he continued his misstatements. The executive committee. of the trustees of the State University has authorized! the purchase of apparatus for the department of engineering. The cotton mills here, though the machinery is not all in operation, are shipping loOO pounds of yarns daily tj Philadelphia. A joint, canvass of this county, has been arranged to begin September '2(3 at Cary. At the Department of Agriculture to day it was learned that some com plaints are coming in of damage by rain to the cotton. Eiist evening there were signs of a storm, but there was only a squall. Northwest of here there was a a high wind and hail and a sharp fall in tem perture. The weather here to-day is much coojer, though fair and hne. The ground is well scaked with water. Cotton will be hard to pick oat. Con siderable fodder has been lost, vet the crop will lie the largest ever gathered. Some of S the harmless, incurable in sane havejnot yet been removed from the insane asylum here to the counties from wherjee they came. The reason of this is: that some counties have no place in which, to care for them. Several counties have no poorhiouses. The bid for the construction of the new union depot will be opened next Tuesday by Major Winder. Steps have been taken by the Chamber of Commerce to secure, if possible, the entrance of the Albemarle and Raleigh railway into this depot. There is no manner of; doubt as to the fact that it should be admitted. The board of directors of the peni tentixry njeets to-day. The statement of receipt and expenditures for the quarter just ended will be a good one. The otlicial and private reports show that the attendance at the public and private schools here is now greater than ever before. As soon as possible an exact statement of pupils will be se cured, so its to show what Raleigh is ooing in an educational way. Why is it that Wilmington does not have a young men's Democratic club? Your correspondent was pained to hear while in Wilmington a day or two ago that interest in politics was unusually languid t,hat there was no such club, that one could not be organised, and that Wilmington would not be repre sented at the State convention of clubs here on the 24th and 2oth. Now the fact is that Wilmington cannot afford to be unrepresented at any State gath ering, or in anvthing which concerns North Carolina's industrial, political, educational or social affairs. That isa frank statement; and it is hoped it will stii up the young men of the largest town in the State. - A Richmond, Va., band, which fur nishes delightful music at the com mencements, will be here at the State fair. Mr.i Patrick is hard at work on the fair. There will be many attrac tions. A balloon ascension will be one. There will be scores of shows at the grounds. A bicycle race, 25 miles, against a horse, will be a feature, if any one accepts Will. Wynne's challenge and such a race for a $100 purse. A great deal will be done for the benefit of I the Soldiers7 Home during the fair. jOne of the special features in this line will be guessing for valua ble prizesJ There will be 20,000 guess es. This 'department, of which the press of the State will be in a few days fully informed, will be in charge of a committee of ladies, Mrs. Armistead Jones, Mrs. Garland Jones, Miss Daisy Denson and Mis9 Olivia Cowper. Mrs. Armistead Jones will be secretary. Three convicts from Pender county were received at the penitentiary to day. Six came up from Wayne yester day afternoon.

The Kennrrij- Speech to b i:piinjr"l Conferee at Work on the TrirT ' Hill. Silver ami llond I' urch Washington, Sept. 17. The con ferees on the .Tariff bill were in ses sion this morning about an hour, when the meeting of the Hou-e required the presence of its conferees and an ad journment was taken until 1 o'clock tomorrow morning. Hut little pro-! gress was made at the session to-day. Consideration of the Senate amend ments Mri'dim was' begun but soon they came to a place where agreement was not possible at once and that p irajrrapli was p issed over for the pre-ent, and so it was with other paragraphs until the conferees drifted into a general Ciscus One of them said, after separation, that in his opinion it would not be possible to reach an agreement on all the ques tions at issue in the bill by Monday next. Speaker Reed has at last signed the River and Harbor Appropriation bill and the announcement will be made to the House at the first opportunity. The next step in order will be to secure the signature of the presiding officer of the Senate and the bill will then go to the Presidout for his approval. Washington, Sept. 17. A meeting of the House Judiciary committee to day, called to consider the resolutions censuring Representative Kenneiy, of Ohio, for his speech against the Senate and Senator Quay and to expunge the speech from the Cfnnrfionul lin-md was attended by all the members. Mr. Kennedy was present and made a state ment in defence of his action and an argujnent to prove that the speech, as published in the 11 cord, was within the requirtanenV of parliamentary laws. The committee decided by a majority that was larre enough to permit Mr. Adams, of Illinois, to refrain from cast inga vote, he having already expressed his opinion of the speech, and the duty of the House on the floor to report a resolution directing the Government printer to omit the speech from the permanent copy of the Record. A re port will be made to the House this afternoon. Washington, Sept. 17. In reply to the circular of the Treasury Depart ment of Saturday, September 13th, in viting proposals for the sale of $1(,000, 000 4 per cent, bonds at noon today, the Treasury Department received offers aggregating about $28,000,000, of wnich $lt'',SJ-3 8)0 were purchased at prices ranging from 1.2o to 1.26! the bulk of them above 1.2.

The World's Fair CoiumUiioneni. Chicago, vSapt. 17. The WrorhTs Fair commission met this morning and President Palmer announced his selec tion of an executive committee. This committee will name the Director General, and by virtue of its position will be the most important in connec tion with the exposition. The com mittee will no doubt be accepted by the commission without opposition, as named by the president. The commit tee is composed of thirteen Demo crats and thirteen Republicans. The salaries are fixed as follows: President, $12,000.a year; Secretary, $10,000; Di rector General, $15,000. It is believed here that George R. Dayis, of Illinois, will be made Director General, as his supporters claim a majority of the local directors as well as the support of President Palmer, P. A. B. Widner and other influential members of the national commission. Oianecticut Republican Convention. New Haven, Conn., Sept. 17. The Republican State convention recon vened in the Hyperion theatre art 10 o'clock this morning with the tempor ary chairman, ex-Lieutenant Governor Cook presiding and with 1,500 people present. Senator Piatt, was made permanent chairman. He addressed the delegates in a ringing speech. At one portion he referred in turn to Blaine, Reed and Harrison. Blaine's name created a perfect furore.

A revival meeting was in progress at the church, and the members gave a dinner to ail visitors on Sunday. Plenty of barbecued pork was pro rid ed, but those who ate at the first table soon became violently ill. CONGRESS.

Among the bills passed were the following: Senate bill appropriating $30,000 for a public monument in the city of Washington to the memory of John Ericsson, inventor and constructor of the Monitor; Senate bill appropriating $20,000 for the pur chase of certain manuscript papers and correspondence of Thomas Jefferson, now in possession of his descendants.

He gave notice that he would ask a vote on the resolution to morrow The private pension bills on the calendar were taken up, and eighty of them werepassed in thirty minutes. The Senate then adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. f Mr. Haugen.of Wisconsin, demanded the regular order, being the Langston versus Venable contested election case, but Mr. Payson interposed with a con ference report on the Land Grant For feiture bill. Mr. Rowell, on behalf- of the com mittee on Elections, raised the ques tion Of consideration against the con ference ".i port. On a standing vote the result was 4S to 82 against consid ering the conference, and Mr. O'Fer rall demanded and the House ordered the yeas and nays. Mr. Payson then desired to withdraw the report, but the Speaker ruled that, the yeas andnays being ordered, this could not beBone. The House decided yeas, 62; nays, 117; not to consider the conference report. Mr. Haugen then called up the elec tion case, against which O'Ferrall raised the question of consideration. During the roll call nearly all the Democratic members deserted the chamber, leaving but a bare dozen present to look out for their interest. The result of the vote was then an nounced as yeas, 136; nays, 15; the clerk noting a quorum, Mr. Haugen immediately demanded the previous question on the election case, and the direction, "all go out was given by the Democratic mana gers, dug it was not necessary to put this direction into force, for after an emphatic protest by Mr. Cheadle, (Rep.), of Indiana, against the stifling of debate, Mr. liaueren withdrew his demand and proceeded with an argu ment of the case. Mr. Cheadle, (Rep.,) opposed the majority resolution and declared that the Republicans of the House could not afford to vote Mr. v enable out and Langston in. The Fourth District of Virginia was reliably Republican and it had been carried bv the Democrats -because of the Republican division. It was a perfectly plain and natural statement of the fact that the Republi can partv in that district had been beaten solely bv reason of irreconcilable differences in the party. The Repub licans had been fairlv beaten, and it was beaeath the dignity of the Repub lican party to revise the figures of an election whicn had oeen 10 to it by thousands oi votes. He was not his colleagues' keeper, but, speaking for himself, he said that he could not under his oath and with his knowledge of the case, vote to seat the contestant, and he hoped for the good name of the House and for the good name of the great party to which he belonged, that there would be enough Republicans voting with him to re tain Mr. Venable in his seat. When Mr. Cheadle concluded he was greeted with applause by the Demo crats. The case then went over until to-morrow, Mr. Haugen stating that he would call the previous question at 2 o'clock. The Speaker announced his signa ture to the River and Harbor Appro priation bill, and then the House, at 5 o'clock, took a recess until 8 o'clock, the evening session to be for considera tion of bills reported by the committee on Military Affairs. The House at the evening session passed a dozen or more bills, of which only one was of general interest. That was the Senate bill, with amendments, transferring the weather service to the Department of Agriculture. It passed the bill providing that pro motion to any grade in the army below Brigadier General, subject to exami nation, shall be made according to seniority. The House then adjourned. 97 The Mn She JUteU Kill Hi Thi hot II In. ...!( T!- Htta hcxfi the . GitAM KaPIIv.

The most important event in the In dustrial improvement of the South oc curred here yesterday bv the success ful casting of steel from Southern ma terial, bv the Basic proces.

The first cast of twenty-two tons was made in the presence of a large crowd and was of superior soft low-carbon steel, finely adapted for structural work. The second fornace will be put in operation "In thirty days. The great Importance of this event U the fact that it affords a market for the lowest grades of Southern iron.
