R Tucker of this city, who is the largest private, stockholder' in the Atlantic & N. G. railroad u The. ob ject of it is to have two acts of the recent general assembly amending : ' the charter of the foad declared un constitutional. One of the acts gives the governor power to appoint new directors, and,! make such changes as he sees fit,- The other so amends the old charter that It takes 1 the coutrol of the road out of the hands of the private stockholders and puts it in the hands ot the State's proxy, whose presence is required at a stockholders meeting to even mike a quorum. The old chartet allowed the State 300 representation in the stockholders meeting and the private stockholders something like 1,100. .The new charter repeals this provls'oa and gives control to the . State's proxy. The governor had , not appointed the State's proxy, but ' it was understood that he intended to do so at an early date and organize ' the road. .. The injunction granted - by Judge Simonton now prevent him from doing so. . The amendments to the old char ter are claimed to be in violation of the contract law of the United States and upon this ground the constitu tionality of the new acts : will , be tested in the United States court.

As these three gentlemen are mak ing unusual efforts to corral New Jersey money, accompanied by elaborate illustrative . comments, references and discussions, some hundred of New Jersey editors are going down to Charlotte, Southern Pines, Raleigh and other points on the Seaboard Air Line next week to see for themslves whether our peo ple are buying a "pig in a bag -or not.

Lnmsdca for city Tax Collector It will be good politics, from a Democratic standpoint, to nominate Charles F. ' Lumsden for City Tax Collector. No question arises as to his absolute fitness for the office. His capacity to discharge its duties and his high Integrity are conceded by every one. If the Democratic party Is to re gain Its ascendency in this county, It must select itscaadidates from the workers in its ranks, and this applies to the officers of this city be cause the' centre of Democra. t'o strength in the county ought to be the municipal government of the city of Raleigh. With a strong, central force of democratic workers, liberal with their efforts and with their means In all legitimate ways, holding the city offices, the cause of democracy will . receive - a new impetus throughout the entire coun try, and an auspicious beginning will have been made for the impor tant political . battle o' 1808. Tbe county democracy needs live, active, vigorous, , devoted, enthusiastic Democrats la office in Raleigh. That Charles F. Lumsden measures up to the standard no one dibputes. He made, not many years ago. a splen did canvass for the Legislature in this county, when the struggle was a forlorn, hope. - His, services have always been at. the command of his party whenever needed, His elec tion as city tax collector wU put in office one who has merited promotion from the ranks and one who in every party emergency will do faithful and -valiant party service.

Dr. Mattaaa W1U CIoss Bis Offlos Hera ' I'- ' : -AprUlOta, Dr. Matthez will close his office in Raleigh, at the Yarboro House, April 10th. He can be consulted up until 5 p, m of that day. It may be years and ' more than likely never again that one of the same- attainments as Dr. Matthes will visit Raleigh, from the fact that those who are eminent lit their profession in the large cities rarely leave their practice to visit tbe interior.: That Dr. Matthez has visited Raleigh many will have cause for great gratitude, and those who have failed to consult him, occasion tor deepest regret The number of testimonials that have been publish ed la bis behalf have spoken more highly in his favor than all that oould be said. In his dealings tbe doctor has made many friends in Ral eigh, owing to his great ability in his profession, and no one has beard upon any occasion a single individ ual who has visited him who has not been pleased with his skill in adapt ing lenses Just suited to their de fective vision. It is with profound regret that his intention is to posi tively close his office here on Satur day, April 10. The doctor had con templated closing .his office much sooner, but from the great numbers of orders in hand, and engagements kept him wfh us long beyond the lime anticipated. But just twelve days remain in which to consult Dr. Matthez. In this connection it will not prove amiss to state that any one who fails to tal e advantage of Dr. Matthez 's service, laboring under the impres sion that his charges are too high, will stand in theirown light. Charges are regulated according to the com- plications of the case and the require ments, and the majority of cases cost no more than ten dollars, for exami nations and glasses complete. It will cost you nothing to investigate for yourself. Office, room 41 , Yarbo- rough House. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 01 the Teachers Assembly Meets Friday- Will Undo Some Things.

Some of the blooms not fully open sur vived the the onslaught, while there are a few varieties not yet in bud which will be all right if another cold snap does not come later. Mr. Young, an experienced nur seryman, says he estimates that about three-fourths of the entire crop is killed, though there may be insulated spots where it will not reach this.

Davis of Surry brought four convicts to the peni tentiary yesterday One of them goes in for seven years for the murder of his brother-in-law. Three of the convicts were white. It has been suggested that it would be a good idea for the city of Wilmington, which already has three Mayois to elect two more mayors and then divide the city, giving each the jurisdiction of a ward. Mr Walter Murphy, the young gentleman from Rowan who repre sented that county so ably in the general assembly and made a bril liant record for himself, was in tbe city yesterday . His many friends are always clad to welcome him here. Taxidiemist Brimley of the muse um disposed of his remaining wild cat this morning by the chlo-oform route. The other cat was killed a week ago. The one killed today was one of the largest specimens ever captured in Eistern Carolina. Messrs. WhitingBros. report that grapes and blackberries were not advanced enough to be damaged by the severe frost last night They saved their strawberries, fig bushes and tender truck, by a plan not generally practiced here. A few extra early grape vines got nipped slightly. Mr. E G Porter, who is in the city today, would be a valuable acces slon to Barlow Bros, minstrels. As a songster and comedian he is a winning card and now has under consideration propositions from several of the leading organizttions of the country. MrE G Porter, the well known contractor and builder of Golds boro, and Mr. J M Moseley, formerly of Rileigh, and now representing Frederick Vietor and Achelis, of New York, spent Sunday in the city and were guests of the Bohe mian club. Both have many friends in this city and received a warm welcome here. They always bring with them a glimpse of tbe kind of sunshine which makes life worth living There's Sense in this. Somebody is making a fool of him self about the railroad lease. All this talk about the state losing $130. 000 a year is rot It reminds one of the remark made by a sort ot worth less fellow once when there was a heavy mast. He said he had lost (100 that year. Whereupon, he was asked how it happened. He said he had sustained tbe loss because he had no hogs to get fat on the acorns. It may be a wise thing tor Butler and Russell to divert the attention ' of tbe people from the more Impor tant matters, but we see no ease in democrats jo' nlng in the pursuit of this political 'will-o'-the-wisp.
