The Consul add ed in his telegram that the city was 'ii a terrible state ol excitement, and the men of the Engineer weie tearful that they might be attacked, lie, therefore, earn estly requested that some action he taken to insure their safety. Speaking of the matter. Sir Julian said: "lou know the city ot New Orleans is very much perturbed just now, but the Governor of the State, I am assured, is able to quell the disturbance. As soon as I received the tolegrnm from Consul St. John I turned the matter over to th becrciary ol mate, and he lnlormcd inc that he would communicate with the Gov cmor of the State, so that the matter may be investigated.

One or New Berne's Mot NncceNsl'nl Merchanfs Moves Into I.arvcr and Better Place of RllNlnCHM. Mr. ii. is. liiilly is now m ins own store, 61 Pollock St., wHchhas just been enlarged and remodelled and newly equipped to meet the requirements of his extensive and coristautly increasing busi ness. His new stand is a two-story store of high pitch, ample width, 120 feet deep, well finished and newly lilted up with well planned shelves, excellent counters and every needed conveniencc,(including a handsome office and tine burglar and fire proof sate) to adapt it to the requirements mcnlsofboth his retail and wholesale trade. The lower floor is devoted to the lormer, the upper floor to the latter. The stoie is so arranged that Mr.DuftVs, slock shows to splendid advantage. Each partis finely adapted lo the storage and dis play ot the class ot goods it is designed for and the !i"lit and ventilation in evory portion is good much better than iu the majority of stores of its magnitude. 1 he millinery department has been placed conspicuously to the front, occu pying one side for' quite a good space I hree elegant uptight cases lor the mil linery, the central one ol o ik, the other two of walnut ceupy about thirty feet of the portion devoted to millinery. They and their contents will not fail to attract the attention of all who enter the store. This department is presided over by the efficient Lative milliner, Miss Mamie Dawson, wLo has thoroughly qualified herself for managing everything petaining to it. The store and stock throughout shows well in every particular. Twelve years ago Mr. Duffy began business in the store now occupied by Mr. II. L. Hall, book-seller. When his in crease of business demanded It, he moved into the one which he vacates for his present commodious one. Mr. Duffv is one of New Berne's most careful and conservative business men, bu bo years ago reached a point where he did business on a large scale. He possesses an inherent tact for merchandising, the trial could be seen manifesting itself in him even in his school-boy days and his after life has been only a history of sound and steady successes, due to his good judgment, industry and ever watch ful attention to his business. We look to see tlie.success which has always at tended him heretofore follow him now in still larger measure. THE IIATTERA8 LIGHTHOVNE. Plans for the Work In an Advanced Ntage ol' Preparation.

Bold He "Hit Ihe Fusion ititH Rlaht Bclwecn the Eyes" A Copy or the Amend ment, the Remarks and tbe Vole Upon it. From the Wilmington Messenger's ac count of the proceedings of the legisla ture on Wednesday in reference to thi A. & N. C K. It. charter we take the following: The bill to amend tho charter of the Atlantic and North Carolina railway came up. lis reading was demanded. Mr. Smith, ot Gates, on- red amend ments. He said this was simply a politi cal movement, and the changes propofed iu the out were made simply to give places lo political lavorites. The bill left the private stockholder without any pro tection at all, but put all the power in the hands ot one man, who is even given power to sell the road. He urged the opposition to look on the matter in a Vium- nss light and put themselves clear ol caucus influences. Mr. Hay said this Legislature has ex hausted all the means known to men to till office) and to create new offices, for the gieedy seekers after them. But so fir nothing had lieen done by them above the dignity ol a sleight ol hand performance. This was the crowning act of folly. It would involve the Slate in a long law suit, and thousands of dollars. The char ter caunot be changed. The courts so say. Ihe following arc Mr. Smith's amend ments: ''Proyided that no sale nor lease nor other disposition of said railway shall lie consummated without the concur rence ot at least nine-tenths of the entire stock oft aid railway cou.ip.lny." lo make the following section .! ol llie bill: ' That the directors on behalf of the S'ate in said company as successors to the present blale directors in said company shall be elected by the Legislature m lile manner as said State proxy and the directors on behalf ol the State elected by this legislature shall hold oliice from the date of their election until their sue cessors are duly eleetid or be appointed as below prescribed, and the commission of each director on the iiart of the State elected by this or any succeeding Legis'n ture shall I e in the same lorm as that hereinafter prescribed for the commission of said Stale proxy. In case of a vacancy. caused by death or othciwise, in the ollicc of director on the part ol the Male, said State proxv is heieby authorized to and directed to till the vacancy.'' Mr. French said that the fusionisls had consulted counsel, and were assured that tlie b 11 was cnnstitut;oual. He called on his side to vote down all amendments. Mr. Williams of Cniveu, moved to table Mr. Smith's amendments, saying that there was rascality in tlie bill, that it was an attempt to steal t'nc property and that as this was to be made he wanted to know who the thieves were. lie said lie was a Republican, but would not submit to seeing the private stockholders swin dled. He said that there was a ling in this business and that he had ready an amendment requiring the State proxy to give bond m double the value ot the pri vate slock. He said the bill now requires no bond, but simply puts the whole busi ness in the hands of one man. Mr. Williams' bold speech caused a sen sation and lilt the bold-laced lusionisis right between the eyes. Several Democratic members explained their votes on the motion to table and poured hot shot into the fusionisls, whose professions ot retonn they riddled. Mr. Smith ol btanly said tlie day ol reckoning would come. Young, of Wake, voted ave, with Mr. Williams ,'snyinsnsdid other-, that Craven had a larger private interest in this road and henoe that Mr. Williams wishes were worthy of the consideration. The vole was ayes, Jl; noes, 4H. bo the bill was not tabled. Mr. French at once called the pre vious question and Ihe amendment of Mr. Smith were voted down. Mr. Williams' amendments were nail and Mr. French tried to crowd them out. but Spe.iker Walser said Mr. Williams had sent them to him last night. These were just the same as those of Mr. Smith, of Gates. Mr. Ray demanded the yeas and nays and tbe amendments were lost. Mr. Noruient voted aye, saying the amendments had met it in them. The IV. 11 came up on second reading. The Vote was ayes, 47; noes, 17. Mr. Kay before this result was announ ced demanded a recount. Speaker Walser said that ho wanted to protect the clerk. Mr. itay said that he had as his Ii regard for the clerk as the Speaker had. lie said (here were errors. He was put down ns voting where he had not voted. Air. Smith, of Gates, said he had voted aye. tla was recorded as voting no. Mr. IMIis said that lie should oppose any recounts ncreaiicr. Mr. French said it was in violation of the rules of Legislative assemblies lo de mand a recount until the vote was an nounced. The Speaker said he would nppoint Messrs. Bay and Turner of Mitchell, to serve as permanent tellers until the end of the session. The vote was ayes, 52; noe, 17. Mr. Gentry (Rep) said he was not here to antagonize any interests such as were adopted by this bill, and voted no; so did Messrs. Lineback, Young andWilliaiiis. rjnr. D mncn made a motion to suspend tbe rules and put the bill on its third read ing, and Mr. Ray objected, Mr. French said be would then perhaps make a motion to make tbe bill a special order for next Saturday. Mr. Kay said he was here to do his duty if it took until next July. The motion to suspend the rule's tided. onlv 52 votina for it.
