He was a democrat and stood upon the democratic platform, Plair bill, tarill, internal revenue and all. Mr. York said that the X. C. delegation in Congress voted indi rectly against these measures when they voted for Speaker Carlisle, knowing him to be opposed to them. Mr. Overman thought that, ac cording to the argument of Mr. York, lie voted to sustain the tie mocraev w hen he voted for Speaker Webster, and he had gone back on his principles.

C Mathews, col., as Recor der of Deeds for the district of Colum bia by the President. There was a broad smile in the House as ponn as the resolutions were read and everybody expected to see some fun before they were disposed of. Mr. Worth, of Ran dolph, suggested that the resolutions be referred to the committee on Propo sitions and Crievances. On motion of Mr. Williamson, howev.r, the rules were suspended nnd the resolutions were put upon their reading. The roll was called and there was a considerable vote from the republican side in favor of adopting them, many republicans, however, not voting. Just before the vote was announced. Mr. Overman re quested that Mr. Progden. of Wayi.e, be allowed to vole, he not having re sponded to bis name during tlie call of the ro'.l. Mr. Hr..; den ro-e and com mcieea to explain l.is vi.te, but was declared out of order, not having given previous notice of explanation. The del k again culled his name.

Out farmers are doing bib i,:t a the weather is so inclement. We learn that P. II. i'oy has rented the Methodist parsonage at Trenton and has moved there. Lot Davis, col., was sent to Tren ton jail a few days ago charged w ith stealing hogs from .John Mer cer and Gaston Davis. Lot was a citizen of Polloksville township. The late cold snap has complete ly demoralized the hens in our vicinity. Lggs are something like old uncle dim W 's bacon o scarce that he didn't have anv at all. L vol y one .sa v s w hen mi meet him. "1 have never had such a old: I never did suffer so much with a cold," forgetting that last winter they said the same thing every time you saw them. Mr. Abner Dawson, we learn, will have charge of the dones county boarding bouse. Prisoners may rest assured that Abner will feed them well and watch them closely while under his charge. We believe the hog cholera has suspended operation iu our vicin ity. Some have lost nearly all their hogs. 1 have escaped it entirely, while my nearest neighbors' hogs have died with it, our hogs having ranged together. I gave my hogs a plenty of lime aud salt a tea spoonful of lime to each hog twice per week and salt where they can get it at will, the whole year through. Do this and you need not fear hog cholera. Try it. Many of our farmers are jmtting up good comfortable tenant houses. Mr. Lewis King and Mr. John An drews are dotting their plantations with good frame tenant houses with excellent brick chimneys. We are glad to see this new departure with onr farmers, as it surely shows a good feeling existing between land lord and tenant aud will be produc tive of much good. As good houses secures good tenants, others will see it and follow suit. Tenants are having a lively time, shifting from one plantation to an other trying to better their con dition. We suppose they are studying like old Jacob Hanks, the carpenter: srid he had spent his whole life to make himself a boss workman and everybody said that he was deticient in only one thing, that was that it was impossible for him to ream the inches on the square. Just so with our farming tenants; everybody says they can't learn economy. Many of them say : have made this branch a specialty and can't learn it. A gentleman remarked to me a few days ago: "Why do you state in your items the dull days we have in Trenton? Von are injuring the place: you onght to tell everybody that Trenton is lively, booming, and yon will certainly build her up." I will say that the Jot'exal 1 wisiies to have items just as they are. 1 know my worthy friend has the welfare of Trenton at heart: desires to see her citizens and her badness prosper. So do I, but 1 tell the readers of the JoritNAi. I expect to write just like 1 see them. John McMillan, col. , a prominent politician of Peaver creek, ami who was honored from that township a worthy and useful delegate to the late county republican convention, was brought to Trenton on Mon day last before Squire Page charged with stealing And carrying to .'ew Heme and selling Pepreseutative Frank Green's ox. The principal witness against him was a young , white man of Heaver creek named Charles Green, who testified that he sold the ox lor McMillan at New Kerne and divided the proceeds with McMillan, and he put the rope on the ox because the ox would not let Mc. rope him. Green, it appears, had agreed with .Mc Millan to take the ox and sell and divide. So he turned State's evi dence against McMillan, but the defendant made Green own up as above stated. McMillan was sent up to Abner 1 lavvsoivs county hotel, where he will have a calm, quiet time to study polities, partnership and oxology until our next . .mr:. Congressional Items ci' li.tc:.-."..
