The Republicans seem dter- min 3d to pass the ! Force Bill. The Democratic Senators are making a manly fight against the abomination, but in all prol ability the Republicans will adopt the gag law and past the bill at any cost. The Legislature have passed an Oyster Bill prohibiting oys ter dredging for three 4 months in tie oyster beds of this State. It gives the Governor authori ty to call out troops to suppress the -avages of the oyster pi rate i, and he has ordered a company to be in readiness for action at any time. It' sounds like business. I t ' If there is any one thing the The North Carolina Legislator is afraid to tackle it is the dog. Last I week; in the House "a prop osition was submitted granting the right to kill dogs found at largo without a master. The proposition 'recieved 8 votes out i f 120, the others standing square to the dogs. The dogs may go ahead and enjoy life. The; need spend no money lob bying at Raleigh. riend of ours, who knows s good authority, suggests act that cats, the indis- rens ble domestic animal of to- day, are not mentioned at all in the B ible. Nor is there men tion I of any domestic animaL whhih would suggest that our domestic cat is referred. While the Bible thus neglects thr eats, it promiscuously mentions dogs as I many as fifty different time 3clearly indicating that the cat was at a great discount in tlio Bible time's. i A pill has been introduced in the House to put a privilege tax if $10pO dollars for each county on emigration ; agents who want to come to this State and talk emigration.

He brought new3 of a heavy snow over j the mountain. In Alle ghany;1 on the level 'the snow fell 15 inches deej. It was nearlthe same in iVshe. Re- portii are to the effect that it was from 12. to If inches in Watautra The wtole face of the earthJ still oiverd over there. If tliby-can't stand it over! there we can offer them a refuge in "JYilkes.

It appears that.Elkin is a . candi date for the position of county seat of the proposed new coun ty, j Mt. Airy also , .wants to then take the position in Surry now held by Dohson. .The pro posed new county expects to gobble, in a right nice little j3trip of Wilkes, making Roar ing River the line north of the Yadkin, and cutting off New Castle And -jSomers Townships on the south. " O'-- I We object. It would ; be a permanent injury to Wilkes. It would not be objectional to us for Elkin jor Mtf Airy to be come " county-seats, provided they get their territory from other places than Wilkes. It is not that we love them less but Wilkes more.' : -'. It is not that I such probable however a proposition can pass tne present legislature. It is undersiood to be opposed to any legbiation creating now counties in any section of the State, If one, new county were created, not: lessthan twenty woiild be asked f or.-Besides there are special'difiicultiesm the way in this instance. There is a; bonded debt upon this county equally shared by all its property. A dissolution of territy would necessitate some special contracts and leg islation which in all probabili ty might end in serious litiga tion. "'""'4 ; While there is no particular danger still bur peopleand rep resentatives should be onthe elert.

She pos sesses a talent in that direction that is, refreshing". But for the existence of Willies the pres ent Assembly might have pass ed away without; a ripple or breeze by which to be remem bered. As soon ; as the little odored breez raised by our rep resentative jand:jthe negroes blowed over, Willies again was on deck, "wild and wooly , and hard to curry. " "This time it was a fight for. charters. A place called Wilkesboro wants rVilkesbbro and let one post-of-j uce do suincieni. n ew. w lutes- j 3 1 rr i --r ittmi : boro objects and wants a char ter and postoflice of its own. Wilkesboro got her bill thro' the Senate ahead. But New Wilkesboro made a flank move ment and got her hill through the House, and there it stands, the Senate for one, the House for. the other. In the House a lively debate took place, and Gen. Bryan spoke in favor of New Wilkesboro, and this is the newspaper repoVt of his H W speech "Mr. John-Quincy Adams Bryan, of Wilkes, said a bill had passed the Sen ate extending the corporate limits of Wilkesboro, and so as to include 2iew Wilkesboro. If this House was famil iar with the locationand saw the wide bottom lands that intervene between the two towns they would incorporate the new town. It is three quarters of a mile from the towns. He said , people in Alexander and Iredell were taking a great deal of interest in this local mat ter, and the reason is that they want to get the mountain trade. : He thoueht that the postoflice in the town of. Wilkesboro had a great deal to do with this Tmaiter. The man so in terested is here.? 'If a new town is in corporated. he will loose money. He (thie postoflice man) has got a farm and can live without the postoflice. The postoflice man' returned to Wilkesboro soon after Bry an made this speech, and has been heard ,to mumble some thing about a certain Gen. Bry an has a farm also on which he can make a living without the help of another term in. the Legislature, and makes some i kind of allusions to something about Bryan being in favor of Wilkesboro till he got a letter f rom somebody in (Wilkes and, then changed his tune. But the postoflice man ought not to say such things about the man he worked so hard to elect. There is nothing like it. We admire the energy of the boys at Raleigh. We're in favor of others going down.- Raleigh is the very place to build up the towns. A charter is all any place needs to build. With the right hind of a charter the streets and sidewalks in Wilkes boro would pave themselves and all manner of mud would disappear, rain or no rain. Mansions would spring up spontaneously, and the breeze would contain a sweet perfume sifted from an unseen censer. At New Wilhesboro it would build street railways, electric lights and waterworks. No, it is not money, energy and push, that build towns, its charters. We are dead struck on char ters. They are daisies. That is way to build up, besides our people jieem to have more ener gy in tnat direction , tnan any;. other. It seems-that Ashe is. to make an effort to get a strip of Alleghany to-pay back: for the little strip that Alleghany took rom Ashe two years ago.
