TIIL'U.SDA V, .JAN. i7, 18U-S. Thk Charlotte Observer reports j two cases of small pox in Charlorte. The subjects are both negroes. The necessary pitcautions have been taken to prevent the spread of the disea-e and the field is not considered favora ble for its contagion. At last ac counts the two cases at Wilmington were doing well and the scare is sub siding. Tiik News titul Observer has made a bis stride forward in equipping its office with a 7,500 Cox Duplex per fecting press. A decided improve ment is shown in the appearance of the paper, rt which both readers and ad vertisers will be pleased. The press is capable of printing 5,000 papers an hour. Congratulations ami best wishes to our contemporary. Tiik JUliliial Recorder, organ of the Raplists in North Corolina, appears in a new dress of type and change of make-up. AH of wnioh make it more pleasing to the eye while as for merit and interest of subject matter it lacked nothing. Ably edited, indepedent and outspoken in its utterances on public questions the Recorder is a strong factor in the field it occupies and fills so well. I r has come at last. Claude Bernard the sawed-off statesman, has been ap pointed District Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina, to succeed ('has. B. Aycock. The place is bigger than the man but this is a common thing in these days ol filling political offices as mere matters of re ward or as a stroke of good politics. It is believed Gov. Russell will ap point Wheeler Martin, of Pitt, to suc ceed Bernard as Solicitor for this Judicial District. MR. ST. .JOHN HAS NOT RESIONED Another report was started last week to the effect that Mr. E. St. John, vice-president ami general manager of the Seaboard Air Line, would sever his connection with that roid at an early date. This lime it appeared in the form of a press dispatch sent out from St. Louis, and it was the Union Pacific that had captured him. In view of Mr. St. John's Western trip 1 1st summer and the apparent di rectness of the report it gained cre dence and many were the regrets ex pressed by the friends and admirers of Mr. St. John and the Seaboard. But in response to an inquiry Mr. St. John telegraphed the Raleigh Post last Saturday as follows: "I have not resigned my position as Vice-President of the Seaboard Air Line." Now if Mr. St. John had only added "nor have I any idea of doing so in the near future," that would lme been sullir. iently explicit and put the whole mat ter entirely at rest. However, we are pleased to hive it direct from Mr. St. John himself that he has not resigned and we hope there is no prospect of his doing so. He is a very able railroad man and has made the Seaboard a great system. Coming among us a stranger he has won the confidence and estr-em of his employ ees, the admiration and good will ot the public, and the fear and respect of his competitors. He his shown him self to be the right man in the right place and the Cot i Lk.u , in common with others hopes he will continue to fill it. RiaT.nu.y Dr. T. B. Kingsbury, the editor of the Wilmington Messenger , ! 1,1 order that their cost could be de wrote of the excellent work which is j termined with a view of reducing being done by the press of North Carolina. What he said was true we think. The average newspaper in the State is worth many times the price paid for it: but the people are slow to realize this. As to running a paper on the snot cash ulan. there is some differ- ' ence of opinion; but we have four.il it impracticable. Manv newspapers in 1 this State, weeklies and d.'ilies, take chances with a goodly number of their readers, frequently sending the paper a year or more beyond the time paid for. And while in many instances it seems to be the best plan for some particular reader, we believe that no class of creditors is more imposed upon than the newspaper that indulges its readers. The newspapers, of North Corolina have done more since the war to develop the State and show its re sources than any other influence at all. And they deserve to be paid handsome ly for their work.

Smith, of Henderson, who is interesting himself in the mat ter of having statues of the two most eminent North Carolinians placed in the capital at Washington in the spaces set apart for that purpose according to j j act of Congress of 1858, thinks that j of all others Nat Macon and Zeb in thi-, he fu.'i ; plenty others t' agree i with him. j Desiring to learn something of the i personal appearance of Mr. M icon as : he looked to one who knew him, j j Cap. Smith wrote to the venerable j ; Mr. Junes A. Egerton, late of War- j I ren county, but now living in Raleigh, : i and asked him to give his recollections j j ofthat very remarkable man. To this I request Mr. Kdgerton promptly re- plied and from his letter we are per mitted to make the following ex tract: My memory of Mr. -Maron to day is as indelibly fixed in my mind as though I had seen him last week or last year, but I may fail to give you of hirn j ist w'n:it you desire. Could we meet so as for me to answer all ques tions you might ask of Mr. Macon, no doubt but you could be better satis fied than from any thing I may here say. However, I will do for you the best I can. Mr. Macon in statue was just about that of myself say 5 feel 10 inches; shoulders and breast a little more full than mine but by no means showing corpulency. He stood perfectly erect countenance always well gathered and under his perfect control never given to loose lan guage or anecdotes. I h ive no recol lection of ever hearing him give way to loud laughing or story telling. Al- j ways, very particular inquiring after the health, etc., of his friends and neighbors when entering company. He was the fullest bald-head man of all my acquaintances, having only a patch of hair about as wide as your two fingers, passing along from ear to ear. His face was neither long nor contracted and cramped. Forehead full, nose neither small nor unusually large, (rooked or Roman. Mouth about that ol common men, neither small nor large; face full and well de veloped, always fronting you well when in conversation. Now as to features here I fad to convey as they are this day in my mind and can give you no better guide than refer you to the late Rev. Junius p. Moore, w ho I always thought had the most striking favor of Mr. Macon of all my acquaintances; and Major Alfred Alston came next in my mind. 1 guess you could find a photograph of Mr. Moore with Mr. A. S. Webb or 1!. I. PoAell, of Henderson, each of whom married a daughter of Mr. Moore. If you could get a picture of him you would co.-ie nearer having Mr. Macon's lace anj feature than any or all I can convey with my pen. Yours very truly, J.VS. A. KGKRTON'. THE NEWSPAPERS OF TODAY. Are the people of today so much more depraved, in their tastes, than was the case twenty years ago? or are the editors of today entirely to blame for the character of papers published? Within the memory of every man in this community there was a time when the HeraL! was the only paper, of any importance, in New York, which would publish questionable mat ter, and it was frowned upon and, out side that city's limits, almost univer sally tabooed. How different from the "yellow" sheets today in their mad race to outdo their competitors in the pro duction of obscene literature and' il lustrations. Nor is the evil confined to the larger cities gradually the poisoned virus has been inoculated into the pure country press until they too, like hungry vultures, are ever scenting for carrion. That there is sin in the world is to be deplored but because it is ever present is no reason why the newspa pers should sear the minds ami hearts of those readers who until then had been pure. Familiarity breeds con tempt and so may it well be added that less people know of evil the more is their abhorence of it. Wilson . vance. lr.

Its Passage Would be Ruination to the Country Press. Perhaps a more unjust and unreason able measure, as affecting the interests of the newspapers of the co'intry, was flev.r r0RCeiv or attempted to be enacttd mtl Uw ihan the notorious Loud Bill. This bill having been : reported from the committee (of the House of Representatives) and placed on the calendar is liable to be called i up and pat-ed at any time unless there j is sir'.i g oppos.tijfi on the pari of j publishers whose business it would mos, !r,juri,,uy affect. j if the Loud Bill should become a j v.v publishers can not send a sample j copy of their publications to obtain ne-.v subscribers, or new advertisers, or marked copies containing advertise ments or other matter, or to exchanges or for any other purpose unless it bears a cent postage stamp for each copy so sent. According to the provisions of the bill the only ones entitled to receive newspapers at pound rates are "sub scribers who voluntarily order and pay for the same." After the time paid for, good lawyers say 'the pound rate would stop, and publishers would have to put a cent postage stamp on each copy sent thereafter. Such a law would fail with crushing effect upon all country newspapers. Indeed, it is believed thit it would break up half of them, and so the public would be affected in consequence as well as the publishers. Hon. Perry Heath, Assistant Post master General, in a letter to Mr. Loud the author of the bill, says: "Nearly every newspaper published or circulated in a small city or town in this country would, in my opinion, be greatly injured and I believe a mod ification of your bill would obviate se vere censure from country newspa pers." Nevertheless, Mr. Loud re fuses to consent to any amendment, or to allow the opponents of the bill a hearing before his committee, as we are informed by the Washington Ara tional Intelligencer. To quote the language of that pa per, "that there have been abuses of the sample copy privilege on the part of half a dozen, or a dozen publishers in the East, we admit, but that is no reason why thousands of publishers should be deprived of the privilege they have not abused. The innocent should not be made to suffer for the acts of the guilty. But they will be made to suffer if publishers do not arise at once as one man and protest against the passage of the Loud bill unless properly amended. Not an hour is to be lost! Members of Cong ress don't understand publishers' in terests, or they would vote right. They want to be commended when they re turn to their districts instead of be ing censured. All tint is needed is that publishers should write at once to their members of Congress apprising them of their wishes." Consumption Positively Cured. Mr. K. I!. Oreever, merchant, of Chil liowie.
