Mr? 1. gan ilepreciateil the introduction t p ait.es in this question of strength ening the army. It was not a political l ue.-tion. and all political parties should favor the proposed measure. Mr. Idumb opposed the measure. The dangers from Indiaai troubles were con stantly becoming less and less. The present proposition was one calculated to develop more frills, furbelows, shoul der straps and decorations. The Ameri can people did not need armies. Our army was the most expensive in the world. Livery soldier cost us S1.0C0. while the laborer earned only about ? 1"0 a year. Tlus remark Mr. bosun said might be misunderstood. The soldier did not get -Si .('00 a year. He did iwpt get half the pay of a laboring man. Mr. Plumb characterized the bill as a discrimination in favor of the aristoc racy of the army the cavalry, artillery and engineers. A hot debate ensued between Messrs. Logan and Plumb, the former maintain ing that every soldier in the army was entitled to at least S16 a month, and the latter asserting that the pay of common laborers in the country was not in creased. Referring to the latter remark Mr. Logan said ho did not mean to charge any Senator with demagoguery, much less the Senator from Kansas, to which Mr. Plumb responded, "I know the Senator does not. He does it all the same, but I can stand." If he had the power. Mr. Logan said, he would in crease the pay of the laborers through out the country. At 2 p. m. the ytenate decided to take up the bid for the admission of Wash ington Territory. The bill was tem porarily laid aside, and Mr. Plumb con tinued his remarks in opposition to the Army Elliciency bill. He said the army officer's place w-as the '"fattest" place iu the country. Mr. Logan defended his position on the bill. It -was an unwarrantable as sumption. Mr. Logan said, for any Sena tor to intimate or insinuate that the bill was now introduced with the view to any impending difficulty between labor and capital. It was an unfounded and unworthy insinuation. Referring to the suggestion that the increase of the army was wanted for Bhow, ' for a circus," Mr. Logan repelled it. The people, he said, did not want any "show" about it. They had "show" and "circus" enough in the Senate; and while the senatorial circus was on he did not know any more active performers than die Senators who were opposed to this bill. At 4 :'0 p. m. the Senate went into ex ecutive session. At 5:35 the doors were reopened and the Senate adjourned. . Huist Under the call qf States Mr. Liwler introduced a preamble and res olution, which was appropriately re ferred, reciting that the recent corrts-1 pondence between Messrs. Powderly I and Gould raises an issue of vital ini- j portance to the tranquility of the coun- i try and the general welfare of the peo- I pie, and directing the Committee on Labor to investigate and report the un-' deriving of the differences existing be-1 tweon the employers and employees of i the rail way companies and other com mon carriers. j CUher bills and re soluti. ins were im.ro- ! duced as follows : j By Mr. Woodford (Ky.). granting a pension of $i a month to all honorably discharged soldiers or 6ailors who serv ed iu in the L'uion army during the late ; w ar. and directing the Secretary of the . luteriorto turnish. artihciai limbs, or other equivalent in money, to Confeder ate soldiers or sailors who lost legs or arms in the war. Hy Mr. Willis (Ky.) To aid in the establishment and temporary support of the common schools. Mr. Willis moved to refer tho bill to the Committee on Labcr. Mr. Miller (Tex.) moved asan amend ment that it be referred to the Commit tee ou Education. Mr. Willis explained that the bill was i Jentical with the Blair bill. Mr. Miller's amendment was lost by a vote of 115 yeas 133 nays. Mr. Willis" motion was agreed to by a vote of ISO yeas to 113 nays, and the Liucational bill was referred to the Committee on Labor. By Mr. Curtin (Pa.) Providing for a special committee to investigate the I cause and extent of the present labor tre'ubles. Bv Mr. Houk (Tonn.)

He thought it a merit to havo been in the army, and conceded that the Senator from Illinois had been distinguished in the army, but he had yet to learn that services in the field tors, shall be of the same force and sf specially qualified a man for legislative i feet as if all three of such arbitrators functions. Mr. L-Dgan here interrupted the l j speaker with the remark that he did no i Know ot any oirensiye language ne naa l used that should cause the Senator from Colorado to become so irate. Mr. Teller declared he was in the best of temper, and continuing, said Mr. Logan had commenced this debate i with the assertion that there was a com bination of Senators here to defeat this 1 bill. ' Mr. Logan said what he had said was ' that the Senator from Maine (Mr. Hale) I had received encouragement from other l Senators: that was the language he had ; used, but he did not know that the Sen ator from Colorado had taken it to him self, for he did not know that it fitted, Mr. Teller said he understood the i Senator (Mr. Logan) to say and that I was the way ic went to the country of j course that was the fault of the press j that there was outside opposition. ' Quite a long and heated debate ensued between Messrs. Logan and Teller on the subject of what the former had said when referring to the opposition to the bill. General discussion then followed as to order of business. Mr. Piatt had the right to the floor on the Washington Territory Admission bill, but yielded for Mr. Teller to finish his remarks. Mr. Teller then reviewed some of the points made by Mr. Logan in the debate on the bill, but saw in them no sufficient argument for the proposed increase. Debate on the Army bill then closed, and Mr. Piatt addressed the Senate on the Washington Territory bill, earnestly urging its passage. Mr. Voorhees introduced a bill for the admission of the Territory of Montana in place of the bill originally introduced by him. Mr. Vance gave notice that after the morning business tomorrow he would call up his bill for the repeal of the Civil Service law, for the purpose of address ing the Senate upon tt. At 4:15, on motion of Mr. McPherson, the Senate went into executive session. At 5:40 the doors were re-opened, and the Senate adjourned. House. The House had under dis cussion the Postoffice Appropriation bill, during -which a lfvelr tilt occurred between Mr: McMillan (Tenn.) and Mr.' Houk. Without reaching' ;any conclu sion the Hotise adjourned. Senate. March 31. The Army bill was again taken up. and debate was continued by Messrs. Logan, Plumb and Allison. At 2 o'clock the chair laid before the Senate the Washington Territory bill, but Mr. Dolph. who had the floor, yielded to Mr. .Vance, who wished to speak in support cf his bill to repeal the civil service. law. Mr, Vance said that all the present difficulties between the President and toe- Senate were due to the a-t falsely called "An act to regu late and improve the ciyil service of the United States." He had introduced a bill, which his present remarks were intended to support, for the purpose of repealing that act. Mr. Vance created much amusement by reading a suppo- I sitious conversation between an imag- inary "old Democrat" and an equally imaginary representative of thegovern : ment, in which the old Democrat, bear I ing in mind all the years of Democratic ' exile, confidently approaches the repre I sentative, expresses his joy at "our vic tory," and says he has come to get a ' place. The representative of the gov I eminent receives him rather coolly and ' assures him he is too old. When the i old Democrat's disappointment has been sufficiently expressed, he .recommends 1 his son. who is young and active: but the Government representatives with many "ahems!" explains the workiDg of the civil service system, and when the old Democrat inquires whether all Republicans in office had got in under the civil service system and had been subjected to the necessary examination, the government representative replies that he is troublesome; that he should not ask impertinent questions, and shows him to the door, Baying. "Away with you. " Mr. Vance said this was no fancy picture. There were thousands and thousands of men like that old Democrat, and they were the strength of the Democratic party. They had been its refuge in the past; Mr. Vance waB not quite sure that they would be its champions in the future. They would not fight to win Demociatic victories for Republican'benefit. They believed that if a man were raised to the place of his ambition by his friends he should give Bis trienoa preterence over his enemies. So did Mr. Vance. They also believed that the man found wanting in gratitude might likewise be found wanting in other kindred and I cardinal virtues. Mr. Vance was fre- niient.lv annlauded bv the ealleries in 1 the course of his remarks. An executive session was held, after which the Senate adjourned. I House. Mr. O'Neill, of Missouri, ! from the Committteeon Labor, reported I a bill to provide for a speedy settlement j of the controversy and differences be ! tween common carriers engaged in in I ter-state and territorial transportation 1 of property or passengers, and their em I plovees.

This school which has been success fully conducted by Mr. John A. .Morris during a period of four months, closed March 2Gth with a public -examination and an exhibition; which gave general a satisfaction to parents and others concerned, that Mr. Morris has faithful ly exercised bis duty as teacher. 'The ; number enrolled during the ;term was eighty-three and the average attendance was fifty, which show-B that it was es sential for him to work or fail com pletely. After the examination was over, the school, beaded by the drums of the Key stone Band, marched into tbd yard and around the house of Wm. Foy Esq. After promenading the yard of Wm Foy, Esq., it marched back to the school ' house,, where a table, covered with i every variety of food that is tempting'to' the appetite, was waiting to be eased of ' its burden. The exercise of the night began at 7:30 p. m; : so intense was the assembly until standing room was at a premium. At the time appointed, the curtains were drawn aside as if bv maeic, when a scene of moving beauty and brilliancy charmed the observers. After singinp; and prayer, declamations, dialogues and orations were very entertaining. Wm. Foy, Esq., being present was called on, arose from his seat and made ari able address. He spoke in a clear and forci ble manner on the educational issues of the dav. The arrangement seems to have been conducted with dramatic ef I feet and was carried with martial pre ! cision. The ornamental display of the school, blended with the richly appar I eled guests, and radiant, with beauty , i and adorned gems, clustered a scene oi grace and gayefcy and grandeur which' : made the event the largest and most magnificent display of exhibitions ever witnessed in Foyland Academy.

BaDks, Jones cpunty, and other citizens whose interest is identified with1 the successful farmer of Jones, may feel proud to know that Mr. Banks has made as great success as a farmer as any man in Eastern North .Carolina. "Within twenty years, he has bought and paid for five large plantations. Land fifteen years ago, that was worth about one dollar, by improvement, is now .worth 8130 per acre. Land fifteen ye&rs'ago that would not sprout cow peas, now yields one bale of cotton per acre. He will soon have a new ground consisting of one hundred and twenty acres. Be fore using cotton seed for manure, he grinds them. He sells every year bales of cotton by the hundred.
