The report of the committee having been adopted, it is expected that Morgan street will be opened with as little delay as possible.The work is of the greatest necessity. The empty sleeve of Mr. Hinnant, the courteous and efficientDoorkeeper of the Senate, indicates his gad expe rience iu defense of the "Lost Cause.' He made a covrteous, efficient officer Col.

Call and inspect their took. We regret to hear of the sudden ill ness of our esteemed friend and citi zen, M. Grausman, Esq. He was taken with a severe chill while on the train returning from Charleston, S 0., where he had been on a visit to his daughter, Mrs. Elias, and was compelled to stop at Wilmington. At last accounts he was better, and hopes were entertained that he would soon be well enough to return home. General Assembly. j Both Houses of the General Assem j bly were in session thin morning, but there was very little hmdix-ps tranf acted of interest. Most of th time until 13 o'clock was devoted to the signing of bills by the President of the Senate and Speaker of theHouse At 12 o'clock the General Assembly adjourned sine die. The Outlook. We are giad to note that there is great unaminity of sentiment among our merchants about the master of purchasing their spring and summer stocks this season. It is generally un derstood, that larger purchases than usual will be made in view of the crops last year and the outlook in the future. There can ba no doubt that our people are in a better condition now than for years past to indulge in iomethiDg like unusual expenditures, and in addition to this we can antici pate a large attendance of strangers during the coming fall who will leave considerable money with us. The outlook for the spring trade is en couraging. An Auditorium. The matter of a well arranged au ditorium for our city is attracting much attention just now, and is of special interest in view of the propo sition to use Metropolitan Hall for a city court room. This, if carried into effect, would leave Raleigh without any. place suitable for public assem blage8, and would, of course, be a great drawback to the city. A place th9 eiza of Raleigh, especially the capital of the State, should not be without ample facilities to accommo date the many occasions calling forth large crowds. There are but a few weeks in the year when some meeting of citizens or other assemblages are not held here, and to be without a proper place for their accommoda tion would be a serious inconvenience We hope the matter will -be pushed to an early success. McGibeny Family. The following letter has been re ceived by Maj C. D. Heartt from the cashier of the First National Bank of Salisbury: First National Bank,1 Salisbury, N. C, March 7th, '91. did not know whom to address in your city, as my acquaintance is very limited, but 1 wanted to let you know what an excellent Company the "Mc Gibeny Family" are, and to say that your people can set their estimate very high without fear of disappoint ment. They played here last night to a good house, and the very best people of the town, and I can safely say that I have never seen an audi ence more thoroughly delighted. They won friends here, and when they return, as we sincerely hope they will, a mjich larger audience will greet thei. " Respectfully, I. H.Foust. Those Wet Undershirts at Swindell's are popular. On Sat urday we sold 632 men some of those wet undershirts. All who have seen them pronounce it the best value ever seen. You talk of your undervalue sales, or your sacrifice sales, or any other kind of special sale, but this sale of wet undershirts surpasses any thing. Why think of this;a real good undershirt for 20 cents. Our hosiery stock is the largest in Raleigh. Men's half hose in all the new shades. La dies' hosiery in all the new shades. Children's hosiery in all the new shades. See our 50 cents corset at - SwiHDELIi'S. We were shown by Messrs. C. 6. Ball & Co.,a fine display of'Egerton's Scotch Snuff" in almost every con ceivable package bottles, cans, blad ders and jars. This snuff is by far the purest on the market. They tell us that the demand is increasing for this aiiuff daily. Before purchasing call on them at No. 11, East HargettSt Alone In Our dlorr. I The Legislature has adjourned, and Raleigh has resumed its normal condi tion. In short, we are left "alone in our glory." with none to molest or make us afraid. We are happy in the belief that we can staod it, and still more content under the belief that Raleigh can get aloug quite as well in the next two years as it has in the past two months. If we are bereft of a little bustle and a slight additional population of a floating character, it is still a source of congratulation that we are not subjected to so much slander aud abuse which had for its origin noth ing more than unjustifiable prejudice We could, if desired, write columns in defence of our people against soma of the aspersions cast upon us by bun combe orators of small pretensions during the recent session. This, how ever, would do no real good, but would rather be the means of bring ing into prominence some few person ages whose lights would otherwise remain "hidden under a bushel." So far as our people are concerned, they feel abundantly able to "paddle their own canoes," even with official en couragement withdrawn. We like, however, to "heap coals of fire," and therefore we bid the members of the Legislature a kind adieu, hoping that each and all may reach their friends in health and safe ty, finding the loved ones at home in possession of health and prosperity. Look Them Up. In August 1865, a few months after the Federal Army took possession of Raleigh, the government ordered the collection of taxes under "an act to provide for the collection of direct taxes in insurrectionary districts." This act was passed in 1862,and could only be made available in insurrec tionary districts as were thereafter taken possession of by the Federal Army. All persons owning real es tate at the time of the entrance of the Army into Raleigh, were liable to the direct tax, and all such taxes were paid. It has been a long time ago about 26 years, and we have no doubt that many receipts haye been lost. It may be, however, that the money can be recovered without such receipts, as all persons who paid the tax should have their names on the list deposited inJWashington. It is best, however, for every per son who owned real estate at the time to make search among their old papers for the receipts. In this case there could be no doubt, as these rt-s ceipts.of course, would be prima facie evidence that the tax has been paid. We do not know when the Treas urer will receive the fund, but pre sume that, as the General Assembly has authorized its receipt, it will be on hand at an early day. We have been asked whether the money refunded will bear interest, Of this we are not informed. It would seem that if the tax was un justly assessed, the parties who paid it should be entitled to interest for the time they have been deprived of their means. We suppose, however, that this will be made known later on. Let all our folks interested, look among their old papers. The sum may be small, but, at the same time it will turn out very convenient to many. Died. Very suddenly at the re- idenoe of her husband, Mr. W. K.

A proper respect demands that our friends should be placed in their last resting places with a due regard to neatness and arrangement. Under taking of late years has been a great improvement upon the modes of our j ancestors. Now the opportunity is at hand, of caring in the most appro priate manner for our relatives and dear friends. In Raleigh we are pe culiarly fortunate in having an es tablishment second to none in North Carolina for such preparations as are needed for the dead. Mr. L. C. Bags well has at his establishment on the southeast corner of Blount and Mar tin streets the finest selection per taining to the undertakers line to be found, not only in Raleigh.but in the South. To give all the splendid speci mens of stock in this emporium would be a vast undertaking. Here can be seen the most beautiful caskets, lined with superb fabrics, and also coffins of every degree of price from the most economical to the highest. Burial robes, gloves, and all the par aphernalia for the dead can be had at the most moderate rates, and at all j-.. t niuBD, uwy utu. mynu. lu respect TO a proper conveyance of the dead, Mr, Bagwell can challenge any house in this section. He has a hearse, which in point of beauty and design is un surpassed. Remember, that this house is prepared at all hours to meet the demands of the public. Let those who have the solemn duty of bury ing the dead examine the facilities here shown and make such prepara- tion as their deceased loved ones 'ed ones should have at their hands.
