The Itejmbl lean Senate CancuN.
"..Some of-the Hepublican plans, as de
veloped ia the? secret caucus of the fen
:ite. held- last Saturday evening, have
leakcdjont. It .seems that an aggressive
movement is to be make. A bitter feel
ing towards Hayes and Sherman was man
ifested by Senator ' Kdtnundu and others.
I'hey appear to le jealous of. the Admin-
pstration's claim to the credit of having1
set l Jed the 'matter of 'resumption. It is
said that hdmunds made a severe .soeech
in' the caucus, in which he reminded Sena
tor.-: tjiat in 1H75 Sherman had vigorously
protested against fixing any definite day for
resumption of specie payment, and that in i
caucuses held at that timt' .Sherman had j
objected to the; introduction of the bill as '
it was finally presented to the Senate. ;
TJ.H' c'aucu.s..of "Saturday approved Senator !
Kdmunds resolutions, offered on the 7th
iut., w1hc.1i. are elsewhere printed in full.
The I democratic.'-Senators held a caucus j
to consider the K lmunds resolutions, but, j
sis it only appointed a committee, headed !
jhy Judge Thuiman, to report, at
a subse
iuent session, we do

The Setller' C'onveutlou.
Tijk Srx of yeaterday contained iroport-
mt liilorinatioii Irom the C-onveiition of

ay previous at Charlotte. j
..'Having1 hitherto in more than one arti- i
le -'expressed, our gratification that such a :

rfeparcd to'second heartily the positions
hvken by the body as indicated in our
pocial' dispatch.- The resolutions, be it
eineiiiberod, were 'adopted unanimously

hounce as libiellous all speeches aud publi-

To the Editor of the Sim:
Accept the thanks of a North Caroli
nian for your editorial on "Our Educa
tional Facilities," in the issue of January
r'th. ;
Chicago, a city of 500,000 inhabitants,
expends nearly four times as much money
on its free .school's as does the State of
'North Carolina. ' I
I hope the papers, (the ever-present edu
cators of 4 he people of North 'Carolina)
wilInot allow this subject to rest until
every township in the State is supplied
with a school-house containing- a gocl i
teacher, and all the scholars that can lie j
accommodated. !
The people must first be made to feel the J
necessity of cducatuAi, before -schools will
be of much value to them. The only
means by which this cap be accomplished,
(as far as I ca see) is through the public
press of the State. The press, once thor
oughly alive on this, subject, the peop'e j
will cpmpel their legislators to furnish the j
means whereby they can gratify the desire j
created by the press.
The Superintender.t of Public Instruc- j
.tiop of North Carolina receives only
S15()() per annum, and the salaries. of the
teachersare not sufficiently large to induce j
competent persons to enter the school- j
room. I
Thin subject of public education is, j
without exception the mot important one ;
before the people of the United States, for I
. ' . :
ignorance is the encrnv of freedom
Allow me aain to thank
you for the !
interest manifested bv the above editor

Will appreciate mori! than ever before.
That our muse tloes not vainly aspire
To climb Olympus and ingloriously expire. '
In the attempt, but keew an even pace
With the times, and ahva s points to the place
where they "blow" about one special thing,.'
Which has,' without doubt, the true business'
ring,
And this thing we will briefly explain,
With the hope that it will cause no pain
To brother grocers; who, in years gone by.
Learned to get goods at-pi ices that were high 1
Unfortunately , we see some of them in lined r
To follow the custdjus of '-Aidd .Iang S3 ne,"
Rut we consider it a matter of congratulation
That we've no fngyj notions in our education !
In old times-"big profits" had a wide range,
And old habits are hard, hard to change.
Of Wilmington Grocers we take the le?d.
Now to prove this assertion we only need
To remind the public that our clan new store
Made others be painted and swept a little more!
Like all business men who are truly-wise,"
We aionce began extensively to advertise,
When our friends catching the ide, thought it
well f
To Increase, their space, as the printers will
tell!
At first we put some poetry in our "ad,''
But when they saw this plan was not bad,
.
They followed our lead, and w hen we tried
prose
They followed as nicely as if lead by the nose !
We next thought 'twould be well to try rhyme,
When lo! they grasped the idea as sublime!
Though they have followed in all that we've
done, J
Wh'eX this battle is well fought and won,
Sontfe will see "that extra per cent." isn't
"nonsense,"
But with old stock and heavy expense,
They will find that the prices of P.L. Bridgers

The muse here caught sight of that one
horse grinding machine of Herr You Kris
Kringle, and was so thoroughly disgusted at

neither love nor money could . induce him to

CONTESTS IN TIIE lOl sK.
The annexed embraces a list of all the sests
in the House over which here will probably
be contests in the Forty-sixth Congress:.
Florida. The majority for Hull (dent.; in
the second district being only T-l, BMtce
(rep.) mav contest the seat.
Illinois. In the fifteenth d'striet the seat of
Forsythe (vat.) mav be contested by Decius,
(dem.) In Shelby county the Republicans
printed their ballot Forsyth," without the
'e," so as to be able to claim or repudiate the
candidate, a misrht be neceessary. The judges
returned ott fdr Forsytli and 1,528 for For
sythe, but the State canvassers gave them all
to Forsythe. whose vote was i:i,lM to 12,942
for Decius, who claimed that he should have
reeieved the certificate and the burden of
showing that Forsyth and Forsythe were ideii
tical been thrown on his opponent.. In the
second district W. H. Condon (nat ) has
given notice that he will contest the seat of S.
R. Davis, (rep.,) whose plurality was 4,230,
Condon only recieving 2oi votes in a poll of
nearly 21, 00 votes, but the notice is said to
be irregular. .
Indiana. In the ninth district the seat of
Orth (rep.) will be contested by McCabe,
(dem.,) who was' beaten by 1)7. There are
charges that some twenty-five or more college
students, not residents the state, voted for
. Orth, and fraud is alleged in Virmillion and
Montiromerv counties. The latter was at fiist
rcporte( as having given McCabe lut
fifteen hours afterwards this was reduced to
2(51.
Iowa There is likely to be a muddle in
consequence of the claim that the October
election was not legal, and that the members
elected in November are entitled to their seats.
Eldctions were held in hx districts in Novem
ber, when the. following gentlemen obtained
majorities:
2 . Hiram Price, R . 5 . Rush Clark, R. 6. J.
B. Weaver, U. and N. .7. E. II. Gillette, D.
S.tf. C. Holmes, D. '.). John W. Wilson, U.
The first four were elected in October, and
took this step to mak either claim goodin either
contingency. Republicans having done this
a? well as democrats, it cannot be alleged that
the move was a "party dodge," and the best
legal opinion of Iowa is divided as to the
regularity of the first election . .
Louisiha.--Jn the third district llebert
(Rep. and Nat.) will contest the seat of
Acklen, (Dem.)
Maryland. In the fifth district Crane (Rep.)
! will centest the seat of Henklc (Dem.) on
the ground of fraud and interference with
! supervisors.
K Massachusetts. In the sixth district Boyii
j ton (National) will contest the seat of Loring,
j (Rep.:) alleging, among other reasons, that
i'M votes' for the latter did not specif- the
j office to be filled. Loring's plurality over
j Boynton was if:). .
j Minnesota. In the third district Donnelly
i (Dem aed Nat.) will contest the seat of
Washburn (rep.) on grounds of bribery, &c.
I Washburn's majority was 3,013, but the con-
! testaht will further claim that it was largely
made up by counting votes, of counties not
properly organized and omitting Democratic
votes . ...
New York In the twenty-fifth district J.
M. Wieting (nat. and dem.) will contest the
seat of Hiscock (rep.), who was elected by
3,425, on grounds of alleged corruption and
intimidation.
.North Carolina hi the first district Yeates
(dem .) will probably contest the seat of Mar
tin (rep.), the State canvassers having de
clined to eo behind the returns-, w hich on their
face gave Martin 51 majority. In the second
O'Hara (rep.) will contest the seat of Kitchin
(dem.) claiming that his1 votes were illegally
thrown out in "Halifax, Edgecombe, Craven
and Lenoir counties, whch sent up amended
returns.
Pennsylvania In the twentieth district Cur
tin (dem.) will contest the seat of Yocum
(nat. and rep.) on the ground of fraud and
bribery; Yocum Y majority was 92. There is
a squabble over the scat of Klots (dem.) in
the eleventh district, which is claimed by Al
baight. The canvassing board split but Klotz
has filed the judicially certified returns of all
the counties with the" clerk of tbe House as a
safeguard . They give him 95 majority . There
has been some talk of McCandless" (dem.)
contesting the seat of Bingham (rep.) in the
first district, where Bingham's plurality was
Virginia In the ninth district it is said that
j McMullin (ind. dem.) will contest the seat of
Richmond (dem.), who was elected by a plu
rality of 291.
j Wiscomin In the third district Kine (nat.")
will probably contest the seat of Hazleton

It is, abiy edited, handsomely printed, aud
gives promise of being a very, very interesting
publication.
(Elizabeth City Economist.)
Altogether creditable. Its contributors are
first-class and its mechanical and typographical
execution excellent.
(Hillsbouo Recorder.)
Its list of contributors is au an able one
and if sustained, will ensure the permanent
success of the enterprise.
(Wilmington Post.)
It is a first-class literay magazine, and one
that the people of this city should be proud of
and patronize, as well as the people of the
whole state.';;

The ty pographica 1 execution of the magazine
is very line, and in point of appearance, con- !

cation which must commend itself to the :
public. ;
(Graham Gleaner.)
It givespromise of "being eminently worthy
of public patronage. No commendation of
ours would equal a simple statement of the
table of its contents, with the names ofthe
contributors, which we give as an evidence of
of the worth of the periodical.
Farmer and Mechanic.)
Here we have a rich bill of fare from South
ern writers, catered by a Southern lady SDd
printed by Southern printers, on Southern
paper. Ye who bewail the lack of Southern
literature, and home-fostered talent, shall
this enterprise live, and expand?
(Wilson Advance.)
The magazine is well gotten up. The sub
ject matter is varied and entertaining, while
its typographical appearance is a model of
neatness, and reflects the highest c redit upon
the exquisite taste and excellent judgment
that suggested and directed its consummation.
(Norfolk Virginian.)
This publication appeals to the people ofthe
South for a staple support. It ric hly merits It
and we feel will receive it. We know of no
Southern literary venture that has exhibited
so much merit, united with an evidence of
management that must w in for it a position in
the ranks of magazine literature and hold it.
.' (Petersburg Index & Appeal.)
The South-Atlaxi ic has this merit over
any of it predecessors in the same arena, that
its contents are solid, though not heavy, and
that no room appears to have been intended in
It for productions of a trashy and frivoloua
character. While it continues to adhere to
this rule, it will have every claim on Southern
and general support, and we sincerely trust
it will receive it.
(Danville News.)1
This is "a most excellent publication a mag
azine of high character, an honor to the State,
and a credit to the whole South. All its pages
are filled with articles of superior excellence
and interest. It has for its contributors some
ofthe best known authors in the South, is
ably edited aud neatly printed.. This splendid
monthly deserves a liberal patronage as a first
class southern enterprise.
(Raleigh News.)
Peculiarly Southern in iu character, and
numbering among its contributors some of the
best and most vigorous writers in the country
it bears upon iu face the stamp of originality
and force. The interest of it serial stories has
never ceased, while the shorter, casual articles
have been marked by a vigor peculiarly, their
own. All topics are discussed, and thus the
world's progress is closely followed. The
magazine has from Its inception been received
with peculiar favor by North Carolinians, nor
have its merits failed to receive lust encomiums
from persons, of ability everywhere. tf
