Since I visited tin's town in 18G5, just at the close of the war? a wonderful, im provement is manifesto Lumberton, as you know, was. visited bp a severe fire a few years ago. All, or nearly all of this burnt district, has been, rebuilt with good and substantial buildings, "some brick, soma wood,' the majority being of the lat ter class of buildings. All have an air ot business and life. The merchants here, as everywhere nearly in the State, speak of the dull times we hive all passed through, but they look for a better spring business. There arc fewf places in the State which promise better for the future that Lum berton, situated in a county whose people are generally educated, and as far as this' world's goods are "concerned are in a very thriving condition., Among the principal stores here are Messrs. Pone & McLcod, 13, Godwin & Co., besides a number of others who seem to be doing a good busi ness. Cotton still stands around the doors of a number of their stores lookiug evi dently for better prices. The society of IiUmberton is excellent, and this is always the case where the Scotch people predom- , inato, and about he re,. ; very man you meet is "Mr. Mac" or "Mc." A frier.d informs me, that in llobc;on county there are more men who can justify above the homestead and exemption act than in almost any part of the State, in comparison to the j population This of itself speaks well for t the county. - I paid my respects to friend McDiarmLd of the Rohesofiian, and was received by him with much kindness. The Robezonian is a staunch Democratic journal, and the people of this pr.rt of the State fully ap preciate it, as is shown by the large circu lation it has. and this information we drd not get from Mr. McD., as others fully attest the truth of my statement. On my way up from .Wilmington to-day, I was asked by a number of fellow travellers why Tin; Si x did not print the sched ule, of the C. C. R. R. Thf. Sux is highly appreciated here and- , the good people of Lumberton, as is the case elsewhere, do not understand why the C. C. R. R. Com pany do not advertise their schedule as they do in other papers in Wilmington and Raleigh. I leave this question with you to answer. These gentlemen from higher up this road, say the road ought to adver tise their schedule, that Wilmington papers are justly entitled to it, and that unless all are cut off. no one paper should, with the circulation of the Sux, be depriv-. edofits publication, which they, the peo ple have a right to demand of a road sus tained by them. . 1 write hurriedly, as it is near time 2 for the mail to arrive. 'I ; It FROM MARIOS, MHT1I omxa; CAR Narrow I'scnue of a .Metholist Marion, S. C., April. 1G.-Mr Lewis Scarborough, a Methodist minister, made a ; very narrow escape from being instantly ' killed yesterday, by the Southern bound passenger train near Marion. lie was ap proaching the railroad crossing, as he says, in a deep study, and had no idea that a train was so near. When his horse reach ed the trick, he observed the train ap proaching very rapidly. lie hit his horse a cut with his whip, but the beast stopped instead of going ahead. WIS en the iyengiiie got noae, the horse made a le;fp, leaving the buggy on the track. The ! cdwca'tcher'struck, the buggy about half way aud tore it up, throwing the rererend gentleman, its occupant, to the left of the track. He was somewhat, but not serious ly, injured. I am luformed that he does not blame the engineer at all. J. fuom ;iti;r.siiouo. Interesting fuse Iaiy Witness from Xew York.--Ieatli , Fruit Crop, tie. Grekxsboko, X. C, April 15th, 1870. Easter Sunday was duly observed in our plice.'especially at Saint Barnabas (Epis copal) church, which was beautifully deco rated with evergreens and festoons of flowers. The Rev. Dr. Sutton, preached an excellent sermon, appropriate to the occasion, in the morning, and administered ; the rite of baptism in the afternoon. Monday was observed as a general holiday , among the juveniles erf all sexes and ages, who spent the day in fishing at some of the streams near-by. : ; Our community was pained to hear of the -death of Miss Lizzie Weir, which took place on Saturday night last. She was the youngest daughter of the late Dr. D. P. Weir, and a niece of judge R. P. Dick of this city. Her disease; was consumption, with which she had been suffering only a few months. Her funeral, took place at the Presbyterian church, of which she Was a member, Monday piorning at 10 o'clock. There is quite an interesting case being tried at the Federal Court this week. A young man by.the'name of Law is accused of robbing the mails of money letters con taining also photographs, &c, &c, &c. A great many witnessed probably thirty or more ' have "been examined, and there are several more to be exafmined still One of T the witnesses is a sales-lady from the house of-E. Ridley & Son, New York, to whom it is'claimed the letter containing the money wassent, but who never received it. Young Law was employed as assistant post mas ter, by J'. G. Mitchell, living at Went wbrth in Rockingham countj The gen eral opinion of ;the public is that the young man is innocent. As yet very little of any consequence has been proven against him. Yery able counsel .has been employed to .defend him, consisting of such men as" Col. Thos. Ruffin, Jas. Reid, &c. The Court House has been literally packed each day of the trial. A great many of our ladies have attended regularly and all seem to be very anxious to hear the result. There is difference of opinion in this county as regardslthe fruit crop. Some farmers say it is all killed, while others say there will be from one half to three fourths of a crop. In and around the eity there will be a plentiful supply unless later frosts destroy it. II. II. Jr. Southern War Claims. State Special. Southern war claims have" been a thorn in the flesh of the Democracy for six years, i and have cost the party many votes at the rsorth 'here they were put down in tie publicSd indictment of the party as rebel raids on the Treasury. Bragg gave them an opportunity to stop, -the payment of grituitiesjn Loyalists or anybody else by repealing the statute which created the Southern Claims Commission eight years ago, but they didn't do it. Same dodged and enough voted with the Republicans to de- thc proposition. Bragg did succeed, how ever, in putting the Republicans on re record as in favor of paying Southern war claims. : Bragg reminded them that they had for years talked about rebel attacks on the treasury, and that they had hid themselves long enough behind the shadow of loyalty. Now was the time for them to come out and face the music. He sat down pretty heavily on Russell of North Carolina,, who took occasion to eulogize extravagantly Southern Union men, whose services and sacrifices the Government could never repay. Bragg said the South ern Claims Commission was conducted in litter contempt of all known rules of evi dence a mere partisan tribunal, erected for partisan purposes. It bases its judg ment upon unsworn statements of detec tives employed by the court to. secretly find out something, and the victim known nothing of it until the bl?w was struck. These detectives are now called investigat ing agents, because that sounds more respec table, just as highwaymen are now called road agents. They had beeu aptly des cribed asxiead bodies that he at the bot torn of the clear stream until the buoyancy ot their pntritaction brings them to the surface and the insufferable stench they emit scatters consternations. There appeared to be a general desire to rid Congress of this class of claims, and to accomplish that various amendments were suggested, such as referring them to the Circuit and District courts, or tp the Court of Claims, but none were satisfactory, be cause justice could not.be done under the circumstances to this Government and to deserving, claimants. - So the were all to tea down," and liraeg'g proposition too An amendment offered by ..Springer is now pending . Ife offers in substance the old Potter bill which' at one time passed ! the House by two-thirds vote,, It refers all private claims against the Government, whether arising out of the war or not, to the Court of Claims for examination and report to Congress, and upou their report appropriations to meet the judgments could be made. This wduld relieve Congress of a vast amount of work that cannot be properly done by is. and save a great deal of expense that under the present practice of putting private claims before Congress often amounts to many times the sum claimed! A Hallway I'ostal Consultation. .Special Dispatch to the World. .' AYasiii.nt.tox, April 15. An important meeting of the various division superintend deuts of railway mails and of all the princi pal special agents f the Postoffice De partment began here to-day and will con tinue for several days. The object of the meeting is to revise the regulations of the postal service, which have not been much Changed since 1873, and which, owing to, the rapid developemeiit of the service, now require .amendment in many particulars. It is probable that several important im provements in the details of the collection and delivery of the mails will be adopted the object of the agents being to increase the accommodation of the people wherever it can bedone. They meet as a commis sion summoned for the purpose by the Postoffice Department and will hold daily sessions at the Department building. .V Victorj for Mr. Kelly. Hou. John Kelly has won a victory which may give him control of Tammany for another year, the order continuing the injunction at the suit of H. D. Thompson against the institution of 143 members ot the Tammany Society elected New Year's eve having been reversed bythe Supreme Court of. New York, general term. At a meeting of the anti-Kelly leaders Monday night it was decided not to nominate a ticket. County Clerk Thompson said that by advice of counsel he had concluded to allow the election to go by default.

( ougress Lively Yesterday Mor gan aud Yoorlieefj Speak in the Senate Atkins euts up ' longer in tlie House Carlisle's Demand. SENATE. . ' On expiration of the morning hour the Afmy Appropriation bill was taken np, Morgan, of Alabama, being entitled to the floor. Morgan said that hereafter he intended to speak in vindication of the attitude of Southern members of Congress, which had been the object of much unjust aspersion. The South had not been responsible for the existence of questions now agitating the public. He had considered it best at present to yield to his friend from Indiana, (Mr. Voorhees). Voorhees called attention to what he feared was not generally realized, namely: that federal interference was ex tended not only to Congressional but to all' State and local elections. The Amer ican citizens by' thus having overseers put over them were reduced to the condition of slaves. ; Mr. Yoorhees detailed the system of the election law, and pointed out the provis ions therein dangerous to free ballot, and that usurpers always take advantage of such bad laws. Already our people ' had seen them used to defeat the popular will. Emissaries had been sent into the provinces to incite disturbances as an excuse to use the army to keep the peace. The same thi'ng'mighbe done and had been done by 'the President of the Uriited States. Mr. Teller followed. He said the Demo-! crats until nowj had sustained the veto power of the President. The proper place to test the validity of the law, was in the courts. The Democratic cry for a free bal lot is iuconsistent,as ail the election frauds for the last 30 years, had beeri to the ad vantage of the Democratic party. He concluded by citing the evidence heard by the Teller Committee, as proof of the cor rectness aud justice of his argument. HOUSE. Immediately after reading the journal, the question came up from yesterday morn ing on the bill reported from the Commit tee on Coinage, Weights and Measures to provide for the exehange of subsidiary sil ver coins for legal tender money, and to make such coins legal tender in all sums not exceeding $10. The questien was on the motion made by Mr. Backner, of Missouri, chairman of the Committee on Banking and "Currency, to refer the bill to that committee. , That motion was opposed by Mr. Ste phens, of Georgia, chairman of the Coin age Committee, who argued that the bill came from the Appropriation Committee, it was now before the House, and it was short and simple and ought to be acted On by the House to-day. The motion to refer 'was sustained by Jr. Buckner, who argued that if the Coin age Committee had jurisdiction of the question involved in the bill,"- then it had jurisdiction of the whole system of cur rency of the country, whereaslhe functions of that c'ommittee were properly confined to technical points, of coinage devices, f dies, Arc- The same points were enforced by. Mr. Chittenden.of New York.who had presented the petition on which the bill was reported, but the bill was before the House and should be passed on its merits alone. X. 4 .. :t: lu 1 -trn: . au uuuusi nun view was ueiu uy v-miuu, of Massachusetts, who argued that the jurisdiction of the Banking Committee was confined to matters connected with the National Banks. The bill, therefore, had come from the Appropriation Commiteee and should be passed. Mr. Price, of rowa, declared himself in favor of abolishing the Banking and Cur rency Committee, if it had not control of the subject of the bill. Discussion is still on. The House has been brought by the previous' question to a vote on the motion to refer thesilver bill to the Banking Committee, and that motion has been re jected 88 to 97 and the bill is now be- for the House for action. At the close of the morning hour the subsidiary silver bill went over till to-morrow. An anneal was made bv Mr. Atkins, of Tennessee, to have the debate onthe Leg islative bill closed uext Saturday. That provoked a controversy between Messrs: Atkins and Conger. The latter interpreted a remark of ,Mr. Alkins into an apology to him; Mr. Atkins informed him, Ifowever, that he was incapable of apologizing to that gentleman to that muni Mr. Conger said he was equally sorry that the gentleman withdrew his apology. Mr. Atkins told him, that he had not withdrawn it. Mr. Conger was equally glad that the gentleman showed some little feeling. Mr. Atkins thought it a pity that Mr. Conger did not show some, but he - had none. It was agreed to extend the debate until Friday of next week. The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the Legislative bill. Mr. Kelley made a speech .against the policy of attempting to coerce the Presi pent into signing the Appropriation bill. He warned the Democratic party that if it attempted to override the veto in any other than a Constitutional way, it will he trampled under the feet of an indignant people. He said he would vote for the re peal of the test oath for jurors if before the House-as a'separate measure. . At the expiration of the hour, Mr. Kel ly's time was, on motion of Mr. Carlisle, of Ky., extended fifteen, minutes. His speech was listened to with marked attention. - Mr. Carlisle followed. In his remarks he said: Disclaiming any intention to make an appeal to passioa,disclaiming any inteution to excite partisan feeling or to distract the judgment of the people's rep resentatives on this very exciting question, I say to the gentlemen on the other side, not in any spirit of arrogance er dictation, , m . 1 II .1 11m 1 .1 but with all the deliberation and earnest-! principal for the murder and Henry Hinds ness which the gravity ef this subject de- as accessory to tie mnrde tp j w.aiVc mands, that those laws must be repealed, tion of the grand jury.

The debate in the Senate to-day, was continued by Messrs. Logan and Beck. The statesman from Illinois proved himself to be the same Lo gan with whom the frequenters of the Sen ate galleries years ago were familiar. There was a good audience at the begin ning of the speech, but after it had listened to the sonorous voice a short time the crowd thinned out and left a good many empty seats. Mr. Beck spoke of Mr. Blaine's misrepresentation of ex-Senator Powell's bill in giving the impression that Republicans had framed and introduced it. Mr. Blaine upon this made an attempt to answer the Kentucky Senator bj alluding to the charge of disloyalty on which Garrett Davis had sought the ex nnkinn nf Governor Powell ""0111 the Senate. Mr. Beck thundered bacfc at Blaine that the charge was indeed mauc and was disproved and that Mr. Davis bad rone to Powell and atked his forgiveness, un knirvnir " tip continued, "than the Senator from Maine will ever ask the pardon of a colleague to whom he may have done an injustice." In touching opon Blaine's outcry against the D1 party for putting Confederates at the head of our committees, Mr. Beck read the list of chairmanships which Blaine, as Speaker of the House, had given to New England in the Forty-first Congress.
