Hvh'h best wishes for its success in bo shaping aU6n as to ennre to the benefit of the peoplejof the State- We indulge the hope that the present Iegislatore may entitle itself richlv to the rratitadc of the whole .people. s The tiroejn which to work is short, and the work to be done is considerable. If a eood. 8 tart shall be made this week and next, all necessity for impeiuous haste at the close or theessioq will be obviated.;. But we presume that our leg islators, having been so often lectured as to their duty, and being themselves, as a body, intelligent men,--wilt "see whatthey have to do,and do it with all reasonable dis patch, ami at the same tiarie with all pos sible deliberation. Haste makes waste. A senior, of sixty working days is usually ufficient, if the time wall employed. Gas is not a cheap article, and legislative gas has leeh found to be the costliest item in the bills the people annually foot at the eheriff'a. office. Every measure of vital and State-wide importance ehould receive jcareful cons.ideri.tion, but that need not imply forty speeches of four hours length ach. (iehtlemen, let us have more com mittee work and leas spouting on the floor, f The leading measures te come before this body have Nearly all been rioted in thwse columns, and we shall not recapitulate. We: repeat, Tiik Sum hopes for a, judicious conscientious use 6f time, and thinks it lias reasons for the hope. "Hope,'' according to Carlye is"a "dejectabe, immortal maid en.'7? May .she indeed prove so in the ease of the North Carolina legislature. SUN TELEGRAMS; : EARLY AND II1DNIGHT REPORTS. AT I TIIK FEDERAL CAPITAL. i-ty. Fifth Congre The Vmbl "Washington, January t.

He addressed the Senate at length in fa ver of the resolution, and denouncing -hc trade dollars as ! fraudulent money, which having failed in its mission abroad had returned home to cheat honest people f this country. The amount of such dol- ars coined was $35,000,000 larger than the people had any idea of. He reviewed the course; of Secretary Sherman, and said there was a deep seated hostility to Sibrer'money of every kind. On his part silver as money was net receiving fair play at the hands of. the present administration, and those who draw their inspirations from it. He referred to the silver bill passed t the last session, and said the execution of this popular law was in the hands of its most conspicuous and pronounced enemy. He referred to the action of the New York and Boston banks in November last, ia regard to specie : resumption and the sjilver dollar.and denounced it as rebellious against the lawfully constituted authori ses of the government. He predicted a final triumph ofHhe silver dollar, and said the people insisted that specie resumption would not rest on gold alone, but it should be as streng and as unlimited a coinage of Silver as well . as gold could .make it.

Statistics of railway mortality for 1878 Jiresent some frightful figures; of icourse -or though we have been encouragefl to think that times were bettering, the over loaded railroads, built at high prices, and in many cases with enormously excessive capitalization, could not catch the friendly breeze in time to save themselves. The tables prepared by the RQihcay Age, of Chicago, place the number of roads sold under foreclosure, during the year at 48, with a length of 3,902 miles, and a nominal capital of $311,631,200, a little less than half of which was stock. As this, by .the process of ; sale, jsHalnoet ' alway$ ' wiped out" entirely, while usually the bonded debt is scaled also, virtually, if not nomi nally, it may be considered that the amount written off the nation's books, in the profit and loss account of the year,, includes at least a hundred and seventy-five millions of dollars' worth of railroad property.

Hancock. Pope, Franklin, Meade. Thomas, Ferry, Kaatz, Crittenden and jbetty, all of whom have expressed tiem Mves imoartiallv system of a sub-division of staff duties into departments under corps of trained eneci aliats. , j The pamphlet also contains a letter from Colonel Walter H. Tavlor. late Ad yutaut General of the Army" of Northern (Virginia, under Lee, dated Xerfolk, De cember 28, 1878, whe says : ;M do iJt hesitate to say that in my op inion the; disorganization "of the several Staff departments of the army would tend greatly to impair the efficiency of the ser vice. The fact should sever be overlooked jthat the theory upon which our military istablishment is organized an.d conducted involves the volunteer feature as the great, reliance ef the county iu the event of war. It is, then, most iniportant to have experi enced and tried organized staff depart ments in time of peace to render the army if volunteers efficient ia the event of war. An officer of the line assigned occasionally nd for a short period to service in the several staff departments could not acquire that degree of efficiency in any one to en able him to act intelligently when the oc casion should arise for conducting matters pn a war basis. . Education, and actual ex perieuce are ns ossential factors in the taaking of a good quartermaster or com missary as is the study of law or medicine, followed by long practice, to the making of a good lawyer or docter. j Nerdoltnink there would result any real economy in the change proposed. Every inexperiened man assigned to the jberformnce of new duties must acquire his experience at appertain- cost or lots, and aa interchangeable syfteni wouldlie attended, in my judgment, with large items of loss, without a corresponding degree of experi ence or efficiency." j A statement has also been prepared for circulation in the army, showing that the Burnside bill, if enacted.- - will not only greatly reduce the numberbf staff and line officers, but will practically put a stop to promotions of line officers duria a number years. It is shown that Company officers 01 tee imejwui loosjneariy-if not quite aa Uiuch "promotion by the abolition -of the field offices in the staff corps (vacancies in the lower grades of which; are almest in variably filled by appointments from the line) as they would by the abolition of the number of line offices; and it also predicted that the practical operation of the provis ons concerning the proposed "ieservcd list" will be to transier staff officers frpm that list to cacancie3 occuring in he line.

Recently he returned to his okJ home, and learned that his wife had accu mulated alleged evidence of his death. She refuses to admit his identity, and de mands the $7,000. - Restored to Lire. Joplin (Jov) Daily Herald. From a lady who arrived at the St. James Hotel, Saturday from the central f)ortion f Arkansas we learn the particu ars of an affair which possesses many fea tures of interest and to the medical profes sion in particular. The lady left her home at the beginpingof the present' cold snap, with the intention of coming to' Joplin, and there being no ether conveyance wai compelled to make the entire trip by stage. The only passenger in the stage with her was a man very thinly clad. While cross ing the Boston Mountains he. complained very much of the cold ; and in fact the weather was remarkably cold, even for the top of those mountains. Afer a while he apparently fell asleep. Arriving at the station on the north side f the mountains the driver attempted to awaken the passenger, but to his horror found him frozen stiff and apparently dead. He was taken out of the hack and placed is a- room, which was rather cold, though not as low as tire freezing point by several degree.'1 The lady remained at the station, until next day, and just as she was preparing to resume her jeurney, was surprised to learn that eigas of life had been detect! in the supposed dead man, who was to have been buried that afternoon. True enough, signs of life were plain to be observed, andbv lively rutbed with flannels saturated with whiskey for about .aB hour he was able to speak. When;, the lady left, he was fast recovering from bis stupor, and she had no doubt by this time he has fully recovered. Had he continaed intKal condiUon three hours longer he would doubtless have been buried' as all thought he wa dead.; Being placed in a room of just the right tempera ture, no doubt assisted his recovery. 4 Rafetck and are candidates for clerkships : Major John D.
