THE Statesville Landmaik ap pjared last week enlarged and in a new dress. Since oar first ac quaintance with tbe Landmark we hive considered it one of tbe best pjpers in tbe state, and we would not bo much surprised to flod oar selves sapportine its Editor for Governor before long. A NOTICE to machinests and boiler makers was posted in the" shops of the Pennsj Ivanla lUilroad at Pittsburg Friday stating that the nine hoartlay woald be adopted with nine hours' pay.

Good enongh ! It was with sadness that we announced tbe painful disaster to the Richmond State in the derange ment ot its accomplished editor, and it is now oar pleasnre to in form our readers that the paper will be continued under tbe able management of Messrs.

In -Chicago daring the last six months permits have been issued for the erection of buildings which if placed side by side, would make a solid row many stories high and twenty five miles long.

" It is all well enough to despise it, Major, if you have plenty of mon ey; but it yoa bad to count tbe pennies carefully in obtaining the necessaries of life, 30a would be compelled to respect the meaning of the word. Tyre York, who was once a Democrat, and afterwards, in ISS4, the Republican candidate for Governor, has announced himself a candidate against Hon. W. H. H. Cowlea for Congress. Tyre York reminds us of Bill Avery who was always pitching in and getting whipped. He said it was the only way he had of keeping before the people. The cotton crop of the Soath this year will be tbe largest ever raised. This is conclusive evi dence, that the white and black people of tbe South are not getting alone at all, and that the white man spends most of his time hunt ing up the negroes with shot gans, and that the negroes spend most of their time keeping out of the range of the shot guo. Tbe cotton raises itself. Wilmington Messen ger.

It has been said that Mr. Gutb rie of Durham has lett tbe Repub lican and joined the Democratic party. The Durham Globe says: The fact is Mr. Guthrie has not joined the Democratic pirtyand has not said that he is a Democrat. He has come out of tbe rotten Re publican party, bat has not cist in bis lot with tbe Democrats. IJe refers to himself and others simil arly situated, as ' pt Ltic.il or phans," not knowing where to lind tbeir futnre political borne. A coalition has been proposed by which the Democrats and Re publicans in Halifax are to divide the offices. The Roanoak News favors it while the Scotland Neck Democrat opposes it. Tbe Demo erat says: We candidly believe that with tbe falling off iu the number of Republican voters in the county and the gain to tbe white voters, together with those who have wisely learned that the poor negTO gets no more from tbe Republican party than from the Democratic party, and therefore does not care to vote we say with these chances and persuasions be-' fore us, we ean see no reason why the Democratic party of Halifax county should make any comprom ise whatever. THE APTORTIOXMENT BILL. A day or two ago we called at tentiou to the apportionment bill introduced in the House by Mr. Dunnell, of Minnesota, chairman of the committee on the eleventh census. It now appears that the bill was almost immediately with drawn, and amended. Nevertheless there is a lesson for Democrats, and not for Democrats only, but for every patriot in this broad land. It seems that the measure origi nated in the fertile brain of Sena tor Spooner, of Wisconsin. That sapient statesman conceived the idea that the routed supporters of the force bill had been reinforced by tbe Maine election, and it was an anspicioas moment for a bril liant flank movement in tbe House, which tbe triumphant speaker could direct to splendid victory. A more prudent man would have seen the folly of tbe undertaking, but Spooner gave no thought to pru dential considerations, but with sublime audacity ordered Dunnell to introduce a bill by which Re publican representation would be increased and Democratic repre sentation diminished. Democrats had been ejected from the present Congress, bat Reed, Spooner & Co. had sense enongh to know that the people would assert their rights, and return to Congress the men who bad been unjustly ana igno miniously deprived of their seats by the arbitrary and unwarranted action of the Republican majority. Hence tbe purpose to change the apportionment so as to make the nonse Republican despite the wishes ef the people and the claims of justice. The bill was framed and in troduced, notwitetanding the fact that the. census returns were in complete and there was no sub stantial data on which an appor tionment conld be made. It fixed the basis of representation to be one to every 178,371 voters of the population, and the total member ship of the House to be 355. But in the language of the New York Star, "it was soon found that these figures would not work. Tbe only State that woutd be deprived of a representative on this basis was Ohio, and Ohio casta twenty-three votes in the electoral college, and is besides in a ticklish political condition. It would never do to siogle out Ohio lor redaction with out bracketing it with some Demo crattc State." Under instructions, it is said Mr. Dunnell withdrew his bill and changed the whole basis of representation, making it 1SO,000. This redaced the total number of members to 331, and threw out one member from Virginia as well as one from Ohio, and met tbe exigen cies of the situation. The bill as it now stands will give a probable Republican gain of fifteen mem bers. The movers in this measure know full well that it cannot be passed in time to effect the Novem ber elections, and it may be justly regarded as one of tbe many measures designed to coerce the people into acquiesence in Republi can methods and obedience to Re publican mandates. The effect may be very different from that intended by the authors of the bill. It may arouse the just indignation of the people and cause them to rise in the majesty of free men and overthrow the party of usurpation and tyranny. GOV. CAMERON'S LETTER. Nothing haa recently appeared in political literature more signifi cant than the graceful and power ful letter of ex Governor Cameron, of Virginia. It js important be cause of the position of the man who wrote it, more important be cause of the subject. Who is Governor Cameron f First of all, he is a Virginia gentle man proud of the history of his State and the traditions of his people. "Sic Semper Tyrannis" has sounded in his ears from bis in fancy and impressed upon him the stamp of true manhood. Governor Cameron was one of the many true men of Virginia who stood with Mahone in favor of the readjust ment of the State debt, and, as did most of his associates, drifted into the Republican patry. The letter which we are con sidering, announces the withdrawal of Gov. Cameron from that party and gives the reasons for it. A single paragraph from the letter is all that we can print of it today. It is indicative of tlie whole and is as follows : 'I have been taught by the events of eighteen months past that men of our antecedents and convictions can no longer, with se'f respect lend our voices, our votes or even the negative support of silence, to the Republican party as it is expounded by the organiza tion in this State, or as it is ad ministered by the present exec utive and. legislative departments of the United States Government. The Republican party preserves no longer the semblance of speaking for the entire country, but bases us claim to supremacy on sectional prejudices and sectional interests, pure and simple." The letter proceeds to show that the Republican party declares war against Southern development; endorses a tariff that bristles with discriminations against the South, and pursues a policy that would paraljze the commercial progress of the whole conntry. Governor Cameron closes with an earnest protest against the force bill in which he insists that its passage would be a national calamity. Get the letter, read it and judge for yourselves. The Republican party in Vir ginia Beems completely busted, entirely used up and utterly done for. THE MESSENGER AND THE DUPLIN ALLIANCE. The Wilmington Messenger of the 13lh instant brings to the notice of the readers of that excel lent paper the bo, cot of tbe Duplin Alliance. It is as foljows : " Whereas, certain newspapers in the State of North Carolina, and among them the Wilmington Mes senger, have, while professing friendship to tbo priuciplea of the Farmers' Alliance, seemingly sought every opportunity to mis represent tbe purposes of the Al liance and its efficers. "Resolved, That Duplin County Alliance recommend to the mem bers of the eub-Alliances iu the county not to patronize any news paper that pursues that course." The Messenger has made reply. That reply is honest, truthful and maily. As an editor it is our duty to read the newspapers of the day, and io none of them do we turn with more pleasure than to tbe Messenger, lor we know that it is reliable, broad, liberal and Demo cratic. We cannot recall a line from the Messenger that is un friendly to the farmer or un generous to the Alliance. If it is assumed that fidelity to the De mocracy is opposition totheAl- lianqo then the Duplin Alliance can be sustained by abundant testimony. But the assumption is false, and has not the shadow of truth to rest upon. The great underlying principles of the Alliance are correct, and pre eminently Democratic; but to say that all the demands of the Alli ance are just is absurd. Infalli bility is an attribute of Deity aud attaches to nothing that is human. A great majority of the Alliance is I fe88ionol' Bwimm;rt a,;tl ;i'ftv ,,-Vi'-in the North and West, among a jn coats to keep him Compaq. people who never understood the Constitution and who seem in capable of learning the relation of the States to the Federal Govern ment. It is a wonder that the Alliance, as a national organiza tion, has made so few blunders, and the reason for it ia to be found in the com eratism of its Southern element. Tbe Texas Alliance has alnady pronounced against the sub treas ury bill, and many other State Alliances will Tollow the lead of Texas, whenever they come to tbe investigation without prejudice, and in the light of reason assisted by the Constitution aud the laws. But suppose the sub-treasury bill shall after due investigation prove to be all right, where is the wrong of subjecting it to lair and legiti mate criticism ! What is a new paper worth that does not pro nounce its honest judgment upon all questions agitating the public mind and affecting the welfare of the people! That institution, what ever may bo its claims, that can't bear criticism cannot pass the ordeal of public opinioo. Tbe press must be free, and whatever cringes and fears its lash cannot stand the light of day. 2ow, tbe truth of the matter is simple and clear. The Alliance is a powerful and beneficent organi zation It ia composed largely, and principally, of tbe best element of American society.and is designed (or the accomplishment of very great good. Io proportion to its ability to accomplish good is its power to do evil. Whatever it proposes should be subjected to the closest investigation. That news paper which withholds from it its proper mead of praise should be censured, and it is equally true that the paper that does not dare to criticise its faults is unworthy of public confidence and support. Honest and fearless dealing with all public questions is the impera tive duty and only life warrant of a newspaper. If it cannot meet the responsibility of the situation it must die. The decree is as in exorable as the fiat of fate ! Agricultural papers are not agreed among themselves. The Home and Farm, the great farmers' paper of Kentnckv, is iu lull accord with Senator Vance and other leading statesmen. In its issue of Septem ber 13th it says : "The principles which should control legislation, and that which tbe farmers demand shall control it, forbid the taxing of one section of the country, or of one class of citizens for the benefit of others. Whenever the farmers compromise themselves under the belief that some of 'the ewag' will reach tbe farmers themselves, they have yielded the only ground upon which tho opposition to tbefe schemes can be successfully sus tained.'' This is the gospel oi truth, and tbe gospel of De mocracy. The Nashville Argonant says that still another paper is to be established in Raleigh. It is to be an Alliance organ and will be con ducted by Dr. D. Reid Parker of Trinitv College. Hon. Geoege 1). Wise, Demo cratic nominee for Congress in the Richmond district, is giving his entire time to tbe canvass. He will visit every precinct in his dis trict. That is the way to do it. An Armistice has been pro claimed by the News and Observer and the Progressive Farmer. Now close ranks, and forward into line. Touch shoulders, keep the step and march to the music of Democracy. The Indiana Republican State Convention was in session at Indianapolis last Wednesday. The platform indorses the Harrison Administration aud Speaker Heed's methods.

Sept. 1.3. The marriage of Charles V. llariiso! this city and Miss Nellie Butler, of Norfolk, Va., last evening-, has an interesting story connected with it. Not long ago .Miss Butler came to Millville as tho guest ot Miss Eva Paine, and while there she formed the acquaintance of Harris, and, one evening about two weeks ago, the two determined to go through the marriage cere mony -'just for fun."' A gentleman who was present acted as uiastei of ceremonies, aud alter the sup posed mock ceremous had been performed, the couple learned to their astUonishrnent, that he was a Justice of the Peace, ami that tho knot had been legally and tightly tied. However, they 1 oucluued to make tbe best cf it and to have the ceremony performed iu due shape by a clergyman. Accordingly, last evening Mr. and Mrs. Harris went before tbe Kev. Clearfield Park of Millville, aud, in tho pres ence of a few friends, were reunited in marriage, A Marvelous Biile. Another repeating riile is that invented by a Corsican, M. Luigi, an ex-officer iu the French, army, which professes to be an improve ment on the Lebel. It is destined more particularly for volley tiring, and has this advantage, that its magazine, which may be con structed to bold from four to live cartridges, can be tilled up at once, without tbe. cartridges having to be inserted one bv one, as is the case with the Lebel ritie. A power fnl spring worked bv the trigger ihrows out each empty cartridge when fired, and simultaneously ad justs another in its place. The front part of the barrel is separate from tbe remaining por tion, and after each discharge is slid back as to open the magazine for the ejection of the empty car tridge. It is .then brought back into position locked, and the ritie is once more ready loaded for firing. By a speeial system of riding the trajectory of the bullet has been reduced to almost a direct line, while the carrying dis tance, with a gram of Kothwell or ordinary I reach gunpowder, is estimated at -i,o(m meters.

After the war he s-'ttled down as a farmer andraised a family, most of whom emigrated t the West. The first to goto 1!, .runs was his oldest son. Samuel Gaston, who settled in Marion couiiry m 1819. The genealogy of the family dates back to the 10th century, and they were blood rela tives to Charles XII, but were exiled from France on account of In if reiigion and took refuge in Scotland and Northern Ireland for a number of years and became ::'cotc!i Inch.

When a mau crosses his legs la- places the ankle of one limb across the knee of the other, and rests it lightly there. A woman, more modest and restricted in her movumnets, rests the entire weight of one limb on the upper part cf tbe other, and this pressure upou t he sensitive nerves and cords, if inuugled in (or continued lengths of time, as is often done bv ladies who sew or embroider, will produce disease. Sciatica, neuralgia and other serious troubles freoueutlv result from this simple cau-e. The muscles and nerves in the upper I portion of a woman's- legs are ex- tremely sensilive, aud much of her ,whol- physical structure can ! become deranged if they ate over I taxed in the manner referred to. !

The best of good feeling prevailed and everybody satisfied with the dele gation and say that we could not have selected a better delegation If Trenton township is a fair index to the other townships Jones conn ty is alive to tho old Democratic cause, and if the county convention don't make no mistake in selecting candidates old Jones county will certainly pile np the grandest vote she has ever cast. Many were tLe predictions that tbe Alliance would split the grand old party here, but I am confident that they think better now. The Alliance have been a valuable educator to the peoples and set every man to thinkiDg lor himself, and has destroyed all leadership and made every man his own leader, and as I heard a'gentle man remark at the meeting, the stronger the Alliance man tbe stronger ho was for the Democracy, but please don't attempt to boss him.
