ited to sixty days ia each year, and yet
the expenses of the session of 1871 were
$712,000. Carter testified to have de
fended Warmoth once when indicted
in Texas for embezzlement of funds as
receiver of Confederate cotton, "but
would not divulge the particulars.plead
ing professional confidence. .There are
about forty newspapers in, the State
living on the State printing patronage,
which could not live without such pat
ronage.. Carter estimated the annual
profitaot The New Orleans Republican,
of which Warmoth owns over one-third,
at $300,000 from State patronage.
Mr. McVean merely confirmed a por
tion of Carter's testimony.
The committee will have before them
Gen. Emory, the commander of the
revenue cutter on which the members
of the Senate escaped, and the Captain
of the troops used by Packard to keep
last summer. The examination of VVar
inoth's friends will be the last in order.

safely be discredited. There are several
reasons for the conclusion, in tne nrs
T'klflf th nrlmlnitjtratinn has no need
of going out of its way to raise a popu-
iar issue, rne acquisition 01 uuua, mc
peaceable union of the British North
American nossessions with the United
States, the entry of Mexico into the
union, in short tne unuyoi viiieraj
under Renuhlican ausnices--these are
grand and popular ideas, destined, ere
many years, to nave xneir at-vuujnon-mentinfact.
That some members of
the administration have faith in these
ideas is undoubted. It has been goner
ally expected that the President, de
sirous of re-election, would signalize
the last vear of his term by some master-stroke
of political strategy and thus
secure a second term. But the Grant
administration has no need of any po
litical pyrotechny. The Cabinet con
tains not one man of national note ; it
has in it no Webster, no Clay, no Sum
mer. It is pre-eminently a work-day
Cabinet, headed by a practical Presi
dent, and claims popular support for ita
general efliciency. One popular meas
ure is not relied upon to atone for four
years of incompetency. The adminis
tration started out with certain plain
objects in view. It has attained them
all, the reduction of the debt, the pro
tection of loyal citizens, the reforma
tVio rfvil Rprviee. the Drosecution
f riihnnpt. nfRpfals. the decreasing of
taxation. On this solid platform the
administration can safely appeal to the
people. It has no need of bolstering
itself up with the humiliation of Spain,
tho abdication of England, the ab
sorption of Mexico. Again, the peo
ple of the United States are strain
ing every nerve to reduce their nation
al burdens, and do not feel inclined
to increase them unnecessary.
The word is used advisedly. No man
can watch the course of events without
coming to the conclusion that the idea
of continental unity is steadily and sure
ly working out itsown accomplishment.

It is probable that this gerrymandering
by the Legislature will not be of any ser
vice to the ku klux Democracy.
If we are not mistaken tne diu waucu
prescribes the new Congressional Districts,
was ratified before the apportionment bill
recently passed by the Congress, was signed
by the President. We understand Presi
dent Grant has net signed that bill. If so,
the act passed by the Legislature is void
and of no effect ; because it was passed be
fore there was any authority for such action
by the Legislature.
This hasty and partizan action of the Leg
islature, will probably have the effect to
elect members of the Congress by the dis
tricts as laid off in 1868, or at large, on a
general State ticket.

what was said in these columns by tw;- and
that, too, after Mr. Hanes had given notice

that he would be absent for some time, and
that the Local editor would have charge of

the very paper in which the articles appeared
we gave notice that we, and not Mr. Hanes.
was responsible therefor. " Yet they are all
charged to Mr. Hanes and he coarsely as
sailed for them by an editor who denounced

him responsible for what appeared in his

To His Excellency, Tod R. Caldwell,
Governor of North Carolina : I
- Sib : I have the honor to submit the fol j
lowing statement in regard to the Geolog;
ical Report now in preparation.
It was hoped.that this report would have
been ready to place in your Excellency's
hands by this time. But unavoidable de
lays have occurred, chiefly in the execution
of the engravings and maps, which witt
postpone its completion for several weeks.
This will be the first general report on
the geology of North Carolina 6ilice the
war and will give tho results of the work
of several years. It will probably reach
about two hundred pages, octavo, and will
contain
1st. An outline of the general geology ot
the state, with geological maps, sections
and illustrations, together with special re
ports by Profs. Conrad and Cope. h
2nd. A preliminary investigation of the
marls and soils, and some of the principal
mir&ral deposits, illustrated ny Dumenms
chemical analysis.
3rd. A preliminary chapter on the to
pography of the State. !
4th. A, synoptical account ol all the
mineral species hitherto discovered in the
State by Dr. F. A. Geuth.
5th. An account of the peculiar mineJs
of the West, by Rev. C. D. Smith.
Most of the above department of the
work are ready or nearly ready for the
press, except the engraving, which is well
advanced, and is promised in a few weeks.
The cost of the necessary engravings
trill be shared by several learned societies
who are anxious to join in the publication
of the scientific results of the survey; so
that the entire cost of publishing the re
port will be much diminished, in compar
ison with that of similar reports elsewhere,
and f the former North-Carolina reports.
Most of the work may be done by the
public printer, (except thnt connoted with
the plates) provided only that proper
means are adopted to secure uniformity of
type and paper.
I have tne honor to be.
Your most obedient servant,
W. C. KERR.

I have the honor to transmit herewith a
communication from the State Geologist,
with regard to a Geological Report now

This report will doubtless contain mat
ter of great interest, and importance, not
only to the people of our own State, but
also to the people of the balance of the
United States, and to .those of foreign
nations. I would therefore respectfully
suggest that your Honorable body take
the proper steps to have it published, and
extensively disseminated as soon as it may
be practiable to do so. . ! f

Tennessee Ku Klux. A dispatch from
Cincinnati of the fifth, says a gentleman
from Tennessee, formerly of this city, but
now representing several houses in Mem
phis, gives the following account of some
ku klux operations which came under his
observation while on his way to this city
from Memphis: At Brownsville, Tenn., on
Friday, a band of ku klux had just hung a
nesro. whoso dead body .was placed on the
train, -accompanied by a brother and sister
fi-fonda of the deceased. About
the same time the train was boarded by 100
ku klux. each armed with two navy revol
vers. After the train had left the station, the
ku klux commenced firing attae negroesin
the cars, wounding four of them, two very
badly. A number of other persons had their
clothing perforated with balls. As tne nm
nassed throuffh the woods one of the parties
passed through the baggage car and over
tho tender from which he fired upon the
engineer, the ball passing through the en.
gineer'shat; the engineer then seized his
assailant and hurled him dewn an embank
ment, the brakeman firing two shots after
. i J v
hi m. The supposition is mat tney expected
to stop the train and take possession of ob
iectionable parties who were on board. At
Ball's Station, the party left tne cars, t3Kin
the wounded with them.
Republican State Convention. The
Rutherford Star seconds the call for a State
Convention, and says :
We urge upon the Republicans through

full representation in the Convention. Let

K. K. The New North State says tne ku
klux prisoners in the Rutherfordton jail
rmblished a card of thanks to Sheriff Tim
t..z fnr Vln1 tratment while under his
charge.
Justly deserved, no doubt. Mr. Lee is
man of large ideas, and carries within his
breast a great warm heart which always
shows the sunny side.
Ktnl l na informed that many of
the ku klux of Alamance have been hiding
in the woods ever since the bottom fell out
of the institution in that county last Christ
mas. Camping out must be a very agreea
kia -vivmnntion at this time of year. We
wonder if these gentlemen anticipated,
when they were hanging Wyatt Outlaw,
the extreme felicity ef having to dodge the
civil authorities, with an indictment for
murder hanrinr over them? Their only
hone Is in the passage of the "Amnesty'
bill introduced into the Legislature by
Senator Graham, of Orange; and all must
admit that hope to be a very meager one.
Accidentally Shot. The Roanoke
News says on Tuesday evening last a most
unfortunate accident occurrea at tne j unc
tion on the Raleigh fc Gaston Railroad, re-
sultine in the probable death of a little ne
crm bov. It seems that a small white bey
and a negro were playing with a pistol

Local Pape as. The New York Times
says you might nearly as well forget your
churches, your academies and school houses,
as to forget your local paper. It speaks te
ten times the audience that yeur local min
ister does, and if it has any ability it
is read eagerly eaeh week from beginning
to end. It reaches you all, and if it has a
lower spirit and lesd wisdom than a sermon,
$ has a theusand times better cnanceatyou.
Luring, as it does, on every table, in almest
eveiMiouse, you owe it to, yourself to rally
liberally to its support, and exact from it as
able, high-toned a character as you do from
any edueator in your midst. It is in no
sense beneath notice and care for it is your
representative. Indeed, in its character it
is the summation of the importances, inter
est and welfare of you alL It is the aggre
gate of your own consequence, and you can
not ignore it without miserably depreciating
yourselves. r
; Accident in CHUKCH.-On Sunday morn
ng last, while v the sexton in St. Paul's
Church, in Baltimore, was extmguisning
the lights, one of the large chandeliers be
came loosened at the top, and fell , with a
crash to the floors The sexton -was using
an iron rod in putting out the lights, and on
observing the chandelier give way, manag
ed to escape being crusnea Dypusning is
awav from him with the rod, wmcn was
bent almost - double witn tne enoru ine
chandelier, however, struck him on the side
of his head, cutting his temple severely and
otherwise bruising him. His escape trom
death was a narrow one, as, had he not ob
served the chandelier falling, its immense
weight would have undoubtedly caused fa
tal injuries. The thread of tne Dar Dy wnicn
the light is suspended, it is supposed, was
worn away with rust. Had tnere been i
congregation present at the time the conse
quences would have been most disastrous.
Fourth Senator. The Washington cor
respondent of the The N, Y. Tribune says:
non Tt nnm the new Senatorial aspirant

crats in place of Vance, disqualified, arrived
here to-dav. "As his disabilities were some

point of fact, that he is more objectionable,
on account of his conduct during the war,
than Vance. He was in the Conferate army,

ere, where, it will be remembered, so many
of the white soldiers were hanged and the

in favor of Abbot, although many believe
v.of rirn Pansom will be seated when the

Cuba. The N Y. Tribune says Count
Valmaseda has sent a reassuring dispatcn
iitroni in Madid. He Has lust re-
turned from a trip in the interior, and is con
-rinr.ftd that the insurrection is virtually at
an end. He asks for 2,000 fresh troops, witn
which he promises to finish the work by
March or April. The first of April would
be a peculiarly fitting date for this imbecile
savage to appoint as His day or nnai inu mpn.

Returned. On Saturday last J oseph W.
Holden returned to this city after an absence
of more than twelve months. We are glad
to notice that Joe is looking as though he
ived upon the vension of the Buffalo while
rusticating in Kansas. :
Yew young men who were born and rais
ed to manhood in this city, have more or
better friends than Joe. We welcome him
back to his native State, knowing that a

mere generous neartea man aoes not iivoj
that the Old North State does not contain a
more promising Son than Joe. We wish
him every success In all his ; undertakings.
Accident. The Salisburg Examiner re
grets to learn that a serious accident occur
red at tho farm j of the Hon. ii. uraige in
that county, a few days since. Maj. J. A.
Craige, who has charge of the farm, was en
gaged raising a stable, and by some mishap
a log fell, striking the Maj. and a colored
man by the name ef Torrence. 'ine jviaj.
had no bones broken but was- painfully
bruised. Torrence, who is said to be an in
dustrious, honest man, had his thigh broken,
and it is thought he will not recover from
his injuries. ' '
Resigned Appointed. We learn from
The New Berne Times that Mr. W. W. N.
Hunter has resigned his position as Sheriff
of Lenoir County, and has been appointed
Register of Deeds of the same county, filling
the vacancy caused by the death of the for
mer incumbent.
Mr. Becton has been appointed Sheriff to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the resigna
of Mr. Hunter.

Senate in favor of giving ex-senator ad-

and to which Gov. Vance was elected, is
very voluminous, and is signed by Sema
tor Morton, Rice, Carpenter, and Anthony;
the Minority report by Senators Thurman,
Hill and Logan.
Frenchy. A gentleman asked a lady
known to be utterly ignorant of languages,
" How did you get along, when abroad, to
make yourself understood?" "Oh, my dear
sir !" replied she, with quite a French air,
" we had an interrupter with us." The same
lady, having arranged some statues in an
adjoining room, requested the same gentle
man to step in the next " impartment ana
see her antics." ;
Bad Sign. The Charlotte Democrat says
the authorities of the town of Salisbury have
nrrierftd thfiir Market House to be sold
provided the debts of the town can be so ar
ranged as to make a good title to the property,
A " Conservative " administration has
been governing our sist er town of Salisbury,
and it don't look right to see the town prop
frtv nrivArtisfld for sale to Dav debts. It is
-j - "
a bad sign. y
Burned to Death. The Asheville Pio
neer says at Leicester, a few days since a
child, five or six years old, son of Rev.
David Wells, was burned to death. While
the parents were absent, the child kindled
a chip fire in front of the house, and while
playing around it, its clothes caught from
the flames, and were burned from the body
before assistance could reach it.
