' PlJBlSEED EvDRYTHRSDAY THE CONTROVERSY FOR THE SEN ATE OF THE U. S.. Some" of ojir contemporaries have become, a little excited because of the expression, of decided convic tions in regard, to the kind of man whom, we wanted and believe the people wanted--for a colleague for Z. B. Vance.- We cannot help it.- What ye. Ka-ve aaid, we have said, and we do. not intend to. withdraw one word of it. If it becomes neces 8ary we shall repeat it, and, if pos sible, in even more emphatic terms We haye no, apologies, to offer and, np paydon to. ask. Q,ur section does QOt expect to. get any appropriations from the Treasury, nor from a Sena tor who' has no money to give, eith er for cleaning out a river or a creek Of-erecting a public building.

What a decadence in the. type of our judges ! We regret that he did not fully develop, himself before last November. If he had he would have been "scratched'' by at least OAS. person possibly by thousands It was a shameful spectacle and de serves the denunciation of all high toned men. If that is. scandalum magnalum, make the most of it. RE4T NEWSPAPER, If w.e are to. believe its own utter ances, Notb Carolina baa never had, so great a newspaper as the Ghar, lotte Chronicle. The claim must be tr,ue, for we do not know of a p?per m the State which can give greater -scope to one' meaning than the Chronicle. We are glad that North Carolina has got one great newspa per 1 In Its issue of last Friday the Chronicle- brings us to task about advising -the legislators to consider well their action before casting their votes fpr Gen Ransom's re-election to the U. S. Senate, after, he had been nominated, by the Democratic cau cus. It accused us of counciling a bolt from the action of the caucus, and read us a lesson upon adherence" to the Democratic faith. Our lan guage.feaw ha ve been capable of such construction, but a less astute paper than the Chronicle would not have so construed it. We believe we are quite as, good a Democrat as the ed itor of the Cb.ronjcle and just as loy al to the parity. But we hold that when one finds that he is advocating a bad cause it is the part of wisdom and honesty to reconsider ; to turn about, and, so far as possible, make amends for the w.rong. The charges (and every one of them. can be proven), contain ed in the last issue of- The Rocket Ojjght to alienate from. Ransom ev ery supporter who lays any claim to integrity. That is what we meant last week and what we now empha size. We have, no regrets for what we have said in, the matter. We pro pose at all, times to, advocate that whichwe believe to be right, even to reversyjg theaction of a Democratic Caucus. Such a proceeding is. not without precedent in.North Carolina THE LEGISLATURE. Elsewhere we, give a summary of the proceeding's of this body.

JUDGE BUSSELL WRITES LETTER A - We believe it was the famous ecU itor of the old Wilmington Journal who, in the perilous reconstruction times, dubbed the Judge,. yOwl itus sel." The significance, we suppose, is to be guessed at from the y4ooks of the Jjidge-certainly ro.t from any presumed sagacity of which the doleful bird is symbolical. Whether susceptible legitimately of the fixst interpretation, or the other the Judge evidently arrogates to. himself the ofi?ce of wisdomanrl losesinaoc oasion to obtrude hia viecs op on the public on Constitutional, questions and measures of State craft. He, like Oliver Dockery has hurried into orint with crave opinions, about the political situatioa, and suggest tions as to a remedy by which the Solid South can; be brokeii. His letter was written, to, the New York Tribune and assumes, without dis tinction, the wholesale corruption and suppression of the ballot in all elections here South, particularly in the strictly Southern belt of States. ;H is, only a ra-hash of what has been, heard from Republican sources before, and by reflecting minds will be esteemed for its partisan force and; purpose. We have no fears tbat the South will be unduly prejudic ed in the Northern mind, unmis takably the hope of the ready Judge, for the country knows there have been, frauds in elections, both North and South, although, to read the Judge's letter, the rascality is. all confined to? his own section. The frauds and corrupt use of money in Indiana and elsewhere, by which Harrison's election was secured, would if truly confessed by the Judge and his allies cry to heaven for correction and redress We commend to Judge Russell and his friends the scriptural advice not so trite as true, about the diminu tive "mote" aud the stupendous "beam." Legislative Summary. Bill to repeal the law appropria ting money to the State Guard and appropriating the amount to needy Confederate soldiers. Bill to regulate assignments, and another bill to regulate duties o trustees and assignees. The bill pro vides that no debtor be allowed to prefer one class of creditors above another.

Billto allow the commissioners o Richmond county to issue bonds to the amount of $"20,000 for building a couit house passed its third reading in the Senate. Bill to make it unlawful for mag itratea to try cases in which they issue summons. A bill to repeal chapter 144, Laws of 1837, relative to the stock law, caused wide debate.

A resolution authorizing the Com missioners of Agriculture to offer a premium for the largest yield of grain, per acre came up. the bill provides 0200 for corn, $150 for wheat, $100 for oats, $50 for Irish potatoes.

Numerous other amendments were offered, all of which, with the bill, were referred to Committee on Agriculture. Bill to prevent fraud in the sale of land and personal property under mortgage, (requires notice at the court house for 20 days), passed its firral reading. The following bills were introduced : To amend the Constitution rela tive to elections ; to prerent interest from beinz naid on countv orders ' until after they are presented for payment; relative to making real estate assets, and providing for en forcing liens against said real estate ; to authorize justices of the peace in certain .cases to. issue process to othjer, counties than 'their own ; to alter the Constitution so as to estab lish corporal punishment in certain cases.

Senator Matt Ransom, who has just been nominated by the Demo crats of the North Carolina Legisla- f tuie fo? a fourth term iu the Senate is a very agreeable man in society, very careful of his personal appear ance, and ia said to be quite aware of the presence of ladies in the gal lery ;, and yet he has not contribu ted to the. social life at the capital, as. have-nearly all the other married Senators. Although happily mar ried to a wealthy and accomplished woman he has lived a bachelor's life ever since he has been in the Senate. His wife has lived at their home near Weldon, N. C., within a day's ride of the capital during the 18 years that her husband has rep resented his State without once com ing to Washington, except possibly to pass through it on her way to the springs or the sea-side. Washing- on Capital. What constitutes "efficiency in public service" when the term is ap plied to a member of the United States Senate ? Here is the answer given by the man who seconded the nomination of Senator Ransom of North Carolina for another term in the Democratic caucus the other day : "I advocate him for his effi ciency in public service. What has he done? For twelve years in the history of his service in the Senate he has been constantly active, dili gent, and efficient in securing for North Carolina a full measure of ap propriation for her rivers and har bors and for the construction of her public buildings. The record'shows that he has done more in this direc tion for his State than all of our T" raprsseniaiives in uoneress com bined. Through his influence he ob tained nearly all the appointments XT ii r l -i . t lor onn uaronna under tne cieve- landAdministration." Securing ap propriations and offices for his State that appears to be what states manship means. New York Post, 19th. Excessive Dampness Cotton. of American London, January 19. The Man chester Cotton Spinners' Associa tion have passed a resolution by unanimous vote to form a fund to be used in trying in the law courts a test case relative to the excessive dampness of American cotton. Augusta, -Ga., Jan. 21. The col ored people of Virginia, South Caro lina, Georgia and other Southern States are arranging to send a dele gation to visit Gen. Harrison to pre sent their views of the Southern question. The delegation is to be headed by John M. Langston, of Virginia. It will be in Indianapo lis by the first of February.

Five inches of snow, the first of the sea son, are resting upon the fine wheat fields of the valley and the farmers are well pleased. There is a cold northwester prevailing to-night and good prospects for ice gatherers here. ADVICE TO MOTHERS. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are catting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes as "bright as a button." It is very pleasant to the taste. It soothes the cbilcf, softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind colic, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diar rhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle. New York, Jan. 10. A Memphis, Tennessee, special to the Herald says : At Tipton ville,- Tennessee, a landing on the Mississippi river about one hundred and fifty miles north of here, some weeks aero . young man married the daughter o Mrs. J. F. Atchinson, a widow. The young man's father, learning that his son's mother-in-law possessed 300 or $400, concocted the plan for him, his son, and the young wife to murder the old lady for the purpose of robbery. The plan was agreed upon and the crime was committed. The neighbors learned of the crime, fixed the guijt upon the trfo, and the latter hastily departed. ; A posse otinaignantcitizens followed, over took and, hanged the entire party to the.lim&ofa tree. liptonvule is practically almost as remote as Shanghai, being with out a railroad or telegraph commit riication with. the outsiilo world. - a our ni-v : Hnrdertfoar Keyser.- Daniel C. Cameron was at Keyset last Saturday afternoon '-and left for his home a few miles away in the pine forest in company with Thbs. Dean. Both Cameron and Dean were intoxicated. Next morning Cameron was ( found dead on the road, having : been snot witn a i breech loading shot gun in the head. t appeared from the surroundings that the murderer stood behind a tree by the road side and did tfie shooting. Dri K. M. Ferguson the coroner was summoned and held an inquest. Dean was arrested on sus picion, based Upon the facts that he eft Keyser in company with Came ron and that he had a gun, shooting wads of the same bore as those bund on the spot where the mur der was committed. But this evi dence was not conclusive enough to commit Dean to jail. Cameron is said to have been an inoffensive man and the murder is a most cow ardly one. Cameron's remains were shipped to Swan's Station Monday for interment.: Sauford Express. The Pangs of Monopoly. There was being registered to-day in the office of our register of deeds, a lease of the Oxford and Clarksville railroad to the Richmond and Dan ville railroad for a term of 99 years from the 30th of October, 1888.

Mr. Cowles is receiving letters from all over the South, and particularly from North Carolina, endorsing his position on his internal revenue measure, which was referred to the House Appropri ation Committee. The bill will be reported within the next two weeks and there now seems no doubt of its passage. Representatives Wise, Henderson, Taulbee, Forney and other Southern members are actively engaged in securing support for it when it comes before the House. ROCKINGHAM MARKET, COEBECTED WEEKLY BY W.
