S. ourt in session at Dail, TexaA, has paed sentence wpon several strikers for offences against the Texas Pacific Railway Co This ia a strike at the stnk-, era. I JAY Goclo and Master Wo.k man Powdbhlt have had a long Interview the reenlt of which was an agreement to arbitrate the diffi culties existing between Gon.r's railroad and his employee.. A2TOTHSB pension bill is before Congress which only increases the present appropriation 125,000,000 annually. The next proposition will probably be to pension every taaa who was on the Tnion side darinjr the war, whether he was in the army or not. i. vuor iriu ru n ion. Congress, in trying to provide a a way to arbitrate difficulties aris ing between corporation- and their employees, is in danger "f overdo ing the thing. The amendment of fered to the Hon e h:'! ;:i the Sen ate by Mr Siikumvn, that the ar bitration eom in iMi'I! "take into consideration and thoroughly in vestigate ad the various controvei sies that have .r; a or .ire likely to ar;.-e between tin- employers and the employed, whether they be cor rvorations or associations, or private individnals, and whether engaged in transportation, manufacturing, miniug or other industrial inter ests in the I'ni'ed State.--," would certainly, if adopted, open up a field of arbitration, the end whereof no man can see. ' It appears to us that j trouble arises from the j of the courts to speedily oat burdensome cost I differences letween and employee.

Hut notwith standing tin-, they still Know me importance of honest, competent, aud faithful officer:-; they still have faith that the Democratic party ot North Carolina will give them lion , est J and economical government. The I'd judicial district will not nominate a candidate forjudge but the people of the district will have t In- opportun ity of casting their bal- lots for the candidates nominated' by the other districts, and if good men are nominated they will receive the hearty support of the Demo i rats of Craven county.

KXFCBXJCa5 POLITICAL PETS. La the House of Representatives .m lTVednesdaj last IIoo. T. O. . 8xtjhxb made a point which a Deaaocratie Administration oaght to oasider. In discussing an ap proprUtioa lor the Agricnltnral Departaat Mr. Psicx, of Wlseon- . eiar said ho did not waat it to be paid oat to political peta who do not earn their nosey. To this Mr. fixxa am made the follow iD per tinent reply: - llr. Bciaaer. I want to make a , remark or two at this junetare. The rentlemaa from Wisooosin Mr. Price) aald what he wanted to do ra to keep political pets from be ing pat in office and kept there for - political purposes. I want to say that the Commissioner of Agricol tare, if he keens any political pets fa that oQce, keeps Bepablicaa political pets.. He has got there, as I aaderataad sow, one private secretary, paid 91,800; one disburs ing clerk, paid 91,800, snperiatend- . nt of the folding room, paid 91,200; three messengers, each $720; one . laborer in folding-room, $600; two , laborers oa gronada, each 9660; moot or five laborers on the groanda, each $400; one coachman, 9660; two . firemen, each 9720; none of whom are protected bj the civil -aervioe act. I merely wanted to say that it was not Democratic pets the . Commissioner waa protecting, bat -Bepablicaa peta. - 3ov if Mr. Bkxhjtxx can get these Bepnbliean pets turned oatJ be miht do something for Carteret 'oonty. We hope the Bean fort ceord will see the difficulties nnder waicfc Hi. Srunrmn has to labor aad remember thai be is only one X 325 aseombere of the Hoose of ISeavesestatirea; that the Hoase is Only a parte one branch of the governmeat and that branch is not the appointing power and fiaafly that Carteret is only one of sixteen, eooaties in the first Coo freasienal district. if the corporation or individual, the employer tries to extort more work from the employee than was eon tern plated in the original contract, or if by any means the work of the employee is increased beyond what was ex pected when the wages was fixed. he is certainly entitled to increased pay in proportion to the increase of work, unless there is a mutual agreement that there is to be no in crease. A man who la dependent upon his daily labor for sustenance for himseir and family, has bat little remedy against the encroachment of powerful corporations. If they demand more work without increase of pay be must socenmb or lose his place, which means to take the bread from his children. If he does the additional work uuder protest and resort to the coorts for justice, bis condition is not much better than if he had been dis charged, for the cost of the suit will not only absorb his increased pay. if the courts allow it, bat his original wages, while the rich corporation or individual will hardly feel it. The commendable featare in the Hoase bill is that a settlement 01 these troubles is provided for without burdensome expenses, bat the amendment offered by Mr. SHXRMaN is so sweeping that it woo Id prove ineffectual, crashing Itself of its own weight. Capital is but the accumulation of labor, and the laws of the land should not allow It to oppress the laborer. Oa the other hand the business of the country and the la borers thereof are dependent upon capital, and the laws ought to pro tect it against lawlessness. There most be concession by both the cap italists and the laborers for neither cad afford to oppress the other. up a man who is capable, a man whose knowledge of the criminal law of the State and whose business qualifications fit him for-the office. The selection of oar townsman. Mr. K. M. Simmons, Esq , as chairman of the committee was a good move. Now let the Democrats in the other end of the district bring for ward the right man for solicitor and there will be an effort to elect him. ( hi ';; .;:.!.. II. II iteii ,ls tile !1 lay.

This is considered an off year in North Carolina politics; but not withstanding this fact, the officers to be elected re of as much im portance to the people, and perhaps a little more so, than those elected in a Presidential contest when party lines are closely drawn and the ranks closed up. The officers to be elected are i three Sapreme Court Judges; Su perior Coart'Jndges for the third, fourth, sixth, eighth, ninth, tenth and twelfth districts; a Solici tor for each judicial district; mem bers of the General Assembly, all eoanty officers and members of Con gress. Both the Suprenve and Superior court jndges will be voted for by the State at large. The Solicitors will be elected by the voters of their respective districts. All the officers to be elected this year are of great importance to the people, bat none are of more im portance than the Superior Court judges and solicitors. In the olden time wbeu North Carolina boasted of the purity of her judiciary these officers were elected by the Legisla ture, thus removing as far as pxxssi Dle her judicial ermine from the mire of politics and the excitement of a political campaign We think it would be better if we could retnrn to that aystem, thoogh we know oi no instance whefe one of our pres ent judges allowed hia political bias to govern in rendering a decision or trying a cane. Hut human na ture is pretty much the same the world oven judges are subject to tbe iviamdD frailties of mankind, and for one t hold court and ad uiinisUT the laws itnfi.irtia! iy. hold lug the scales t I mstiiv in equal pvi-e, while he is a candidate lor the suffrages of the very people whoso rights idd li herties he is pass ing upon, requires more than an or dinarv amouu t i-i in de:s-ii de n ce. in Manning, chairman; berland. The .Vnr atui Obterrer informs us that new suits have been brought by the holders of the 8ecial tax bonds, issued by author ity of the Litti.efiei.d legislature, to compel the payment of interest due on the same. Tbe owners of these bonds are encouraged by the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Virginia coupon cases. Ihe people of North Carolina will resist to the last extremity any attempt to col lect money to pay this interest or any pait thereof, unless adjusted upon a basis equitable to the State in proportion to the amount ot benefit derived by the issue of said bonds. Tbe following special from Italeigh to the New York Tribune gives the status of the suits just brought. Raleigh, N. C, April 12. The , - r in.. . --i .. r i aecision oi iue supreme ciiui i ui , j0 um (Uls, the United States in the Virginia' Kobeon. coupon cases has resulted in a suit to compel this State to pay interest on what is known as the special tax bonds. These bonds were issued nnder acta of the Legislature passed at the session of 188-'G9 to unfin ished railroads as follows: Western railroad, 91,320,000; Western North Carolina Railroad, 0,040,000 Wil mington, Charlotte and Rutherford , Railroad, ,1,000,000; Williamston ; and Tarboro Railroad, 3OO,0U0; At lantic, Tennessee and Ohio Kail- road, 106,000; total, U,:0o.00o. Tbe interest at 6 per cent now amounts to as much as the princi pal, making the grand total about 23,000,000 involved in the suits. The constitution of the State re quires a special tax to be levied in the acts appropriating the bonds, hence they are denominated special tax bonds. The proceeds of these bonds were squandered and the State received little benefit. The same Legislature at the session of 1859-'70 passed an act to repeal the various ar.ts appropriating these bonds, and every revenue act from that day to this contains the follow, ing sections : That the Auditor of this State shall not make, or cause to be made, any headings or blanks to, or ou the forms which he is required to sup ply to the several counties of the State, other than such as are re quired, aud as are indispensably necessary under the provisions ot this act, or as may be hereafter re quired by law; nor shall any taxes be levied directly by said Auditor, any law heretofore passed to the contrary notwithstanding; and if the Auditor shall be guilty of any violation of this section he shall, on conviction, be iquisbed id the dis cretion of the court. This section is inserted m every revenue act to prevent the Auditor from putting on the tax lists the special taxes herein referred to. The sheriffs are compelled to collect the taxes as charged against them on the tax lists, therefore, if the Auditor should be compelled to re instate on the tax list every year the taxes provided, authorized and levied by the several acts appropn ating these spcil tax bonds in aid of the several railroads, the sheriff would collect the same and pay the sajne into the State Treasury. The bo nd tul d era jronjd then be certain of their money, becucse the consti tution ordains that every act of leg mlature, levying a tar shall state the special object to which it to be applied and it shall le applied to no otaer purxv-e. The State Trea urer w.sitd b' compelled to pay the interest a.- I.t-t ds ;Jemanded ol tuck, W. P.. Shaw, chairman- Cam den, (i. (1. Luke; Pasquotank. 1'.. 1". Aydlett.

In the eaiiy history ol the Repub lic a great deal of jealousy was manifested at government expendi tures for any public improvement. The motto was, "That government is' best w hich governs least.'' Even t he education of the children, it was argued should be lef t to the parents and should not be undertaken by the State at: the expense of the property of those who had arjy to tax. But all nations have found that government machinery7 may be use ful in departments where private eii'erpiise will not suffice; hence education, the carriage of the mail, the building of roads and bridges, the laving out of parks and the im provement of harbors and water ways, are by common consent taken charge of bv the central authorities. Plus has been called '-State social ism," which in a certain sense it is. C.reat Britain and France Inure long had postal savings-banks, and working young men. The dredge boat is iu here yet. Capt. Lord says it will take tuem about two months longer to get through with tueir work. Capt. Lord is a very clever gentleman and takes great pleasure in show ing and explaining all to his visit ors. They find the dredging very difficult work, the sand is very-hard. Aqua V'dae by the wholesale; it j is composed of red pepper, tobacco , and strvchnine; so says some young j men who indulged pretty freely not long since. The next morning they i were very sick: one of them wanted j to blow his brains out; one said he was done for life: another said he ! would like to have one more drink aud then he would quit too. Fggs have been very cheap, but I guess thev will sell for a better i price now, as four gentlemen tried to eat them all up not long since: they agreed for t he two that ate the least to pay tor them. Two of them ate 52 aud the other two ate 40, and no telling how many more they would have devoured if the lady of the house had not eu'ered and taken possession of the eggs, to keep them from killing themselves. Fowderly Says (iould is Wrong. ScRA"roy, Pa., April lo. Gen eral Master Workman Powdcrly this afternoon was asked what he thought of Mr. Gould's reply to his manifesto. 'T have uot had much time to think of it, for this has been an un usually busy day with me. I don't think, however, that Mr. Gould has answered my letter. His reply is a quibble aud .an evasion, and he fairly tlops over on some points.
