The State Of North Carolina has lost :
pugnacious and also very oa,.did Justice
Of the Peace. His resignation was com
municatsd d the Legislature Of the 7th
ult., and read rey6atim a. follows:
HALIrAx, 9Th Oct. 1914.
To his Er. JOHN II. sNoreheod:
Dear Sir:-Abont seven years since,
some Of my friends, then in the Legisla-
ture-from motives probably known to
them-(but / am sure not from belief
in my qualifications for the Office e)-tho't
proper to nominate me 10 the Office Of JUS
tice Of the Peace. With little or no reflec-
ton upon the subject, the appointment was
accepted, and to use common term, was
"duly qualified" without the first qualifi-
cation, except the physical ability to sepa-
rate men who were disposed to fight.
During the time have teen in Office,
! have had seven fights, great number o.
quarrels-have been indicted twice -and
/ conceive the greatest act Of Justice
which can do to the public and myself, il
to resign my said Office Of Justice Of The
Peace-which resignation is herewith ten
dered through you to the ensuing Legisla-
ture Of our State.
lam, very respectfully, yours,
h. M. SHEARIN.

we commend % The reader = not unworthy
If perusal. The whole letter Of Mr.. J.
is marked BY signal ability; and but few
can arise from it, perusal without acknow-
ledeing that in the controversy the Ex-
President has come of second best. The
Inconsistency Of his course in relation tc
the claim formerly asserted BY the Ameri-

g!aringly apparent, that il may be doubted
whether, even with the assistance Of his
celebrated diary, he will deem il good po.

u Since the emphatic answer Of the
people to the interesting question, "Who
is James K. Polk?" the eyes Of many Of
the whigs seem to have been opened to
the merits Of the President elect. The
Washington correspondent Of the Balti-
more Patriot, one Of the most ultra whig
papers in the Union, pays Mr.. Polk the
following compliment:
'sColonel Polk will make capital In
augural Address. He is good speaker
chaste, correct and animated. He strives
after no fowery or high-wrought meta
phors, but speaks straight on, in good
English, to the understanding Of his audi
ence, while every ineament Of his rather
peculiar, to some repulsive, to others in
teresting, face, is lit UP with animation

Transportation Of the JMails.-The total
transportation of the mails, by all convey
ances, during the year ending June 80,
1874, supplying l4.1O3 post Offices, at a
cost Of 81 ,938 SOL, was 35 ,4O7 ,624 miles,
exceeding the transportation for the wear
1881 by 4l3,lOo miles. The total reve-
nue. Of ths gear ending 3Oth Of June, 1912,
is $4,238, ,285, and the total amount Of
expenditure settled and paid for the same
period is $4, ,296, 1867.
The length Of mail routes has been
much increased during the past year, not
withstanding the sharp competition By
private expresses, which has been kept
up on all the most profitable ones. The
cost per mile for transportation is about
twelve cents on an average. In the thick
" settled portions Of the country, this is
easily betrayed from the revenue, and d
surplus obtained to meet the deficiencies IN
other sections where the accruing postage
does not meet expenses. we are 81 opin-
ion that if postages were reduced, cay one
half, the increased number Of letters would
more than make up the difference. And
we trust the present congress win yield
70 the general wish and order the reduce
ton. 1

Tor tie relief Of the heirs Of Robert Fulton
was taken up and passed yeas 20, nays

hthe House, Mr.. Hunt gave notice ofa
resolution he intended 10 submit to change
the constitution so q to render the Presi-
dent Of the United States ineligible to a
reelection. The bill providing for the
remission Of the duties on rail-road iron
came up, and after being further discussed
al length, was laid on the table.
DEc. l9.--M tie Nsnats, Mr.. Atchison
introduced his bill for the organization Of
the Territory Of Oregon, and moved ito re-
ference to the committee on Territories.
Mr.. Archer objected to its going to that
committee, and maintained that the COM
mittee on Foreign Relations was the pro-
per one to take charge Of the subject. "A
debate followed, in which the friends Of
Oregon advocated the reference proposed
by Mr.. Atchison, and its enemies, the
wings, opposed such reference. The mo-
ton Of Mr.. A. was defeated ayes FL,
nays 24-the vote being strictly party
one. The motion Of Mr.. Archer, to refer
the subject to the committee on Foreign
Relations, to be strangled, was also defeat
ed. Mr.. Walker then moved to commit Il
to select committee, which was agreed to;
and Messrs. Atchison, Walker, Rives,
Crittenden and Allen, were appointed said
committee.
In the House, message was received
from the President, communicating copies
Of certain dispatches received from our
Minister at Mexico. This is the angry
correspondence with the Mexican Secre-
tary of State Of which mention has already
been made. The President enters into a
defence Of the course pursued by his ad-
ministration in its efforts to re-annex
Texas to the Union, and utterly denies the
right Of Mexico or any other nation to
interfere. He does not recommend re-
sort to offensive or retaliatory measures
towards Mexico, but contents himself with
urging as the most appropriate notice to be
taken Of the clustering Of Mexico, the
prompt and speedy annexation Of Texas.
After the message was read, Mr.. Houston
called up his bill for the reduction and
graduation Of the price Of the public lands;
when Mr.. Ficklin, Of Illinois, took the
floor in its defence, and spoke for the re-
mainder of the day.

The general reader has doubtless but
little idea Of the length to which our negro
|or servile population carry their social
distinctions. They have their circles,
their classes and their caetes-their ex-
clusives and their non-exclusives: each
revolving within its own sphere, and all
jealously tenacious Of any obtrusion with
in its orbit on the part Of any Of the
others. The boundaries between them
are SO wide that the instances are few
in which they are over-stepped; and
should one Of them have the temerity to
ascend from lower to q higher circle, he
is Immediately "cut'' by all "hands," un-
less he had previously paved the way for
his due introduction. In this respect, the
aristocratic clubs Of England are not more
conservative Of their exclusive identity.
In an alteration between two negroes,
to which we once listened, we heard one
Of them remark to the other:
"Now you 60 way, niggerl You's not
on an elevation ob society wild dis child.
My massa's cotton buyer: yours is nuf-
fin more dan common drayman."
It is well known that the negroes Of
many Of our citizens who do not them
selves keep house, are boarded by their
owners, in several Of the hotels, their la
bic being the same as ts,t of the negroes
Of the establishment :-"How is you,
Jake?" said one Of these, the other day,
to brother darkey, who, like himself,
''boarded out"
"Wal, Brutus," said Jake, Il feels an
indelicacy bout being imperlite; but l
doesn't tink it comes you 10 ask me de
question. boards at de Exchange, and
does, mt stop at de resterat. Them as does,
should know dar place."
But one Of the greatest stretches Of Af-
rican aristocracy ION record" is that per-
haps to which we listened yesterday
Two negroes met nearly opposite the St.
Charles, who, it appeared, had been SPEND
ing the summer North-that is, they trav-
ellcd with their respective masters.
"Why, Sampson, how is youp" said one.
"Well, rs well, tank YOU" said the
other.
"You's been to the North, has you?"
said Jefferson.
"I's lust cum home," said Sampson.
"Aint the free niggers mighty mean?"
said jefferson.
lob course dey is" said Sampson, ''but
dat comes oh dere habin' no masters"
"Ce'tainly," said Jefferson ''dey's labor
in under de abolition OF intelligence. But
whar did you stop when you was North,
Samp?"
"Why, fac is, JEFF" said Sampson, 81
spent most oh my time at dc Wirginny
Springs"
"You did, did ycu?" said Jefferson.
.Wal, reckons | did," said Sampson.
.'Den you isn't 'ciety for dis nigga" said
Jefferson. .I's been 'mong the reclusises,
at Saratoga myself We dances de Polka
dere; | reckons Wirginny break-downs
can't shine. Good by, nigga! But look
hea, when you meets color'd lem'man
wat drank de Congress water, you pass
him by wild silent dispect-dat's all. And
saying this Jefferson's round eye dilated
and this thick lip swelled at the idea Of
being accosted and conversed with in the
public street by negro who had never
mixed in more fashionable society than he
must have met with at the Virginia Springs,
who never had drank Congress water, and
who was utterly ignorant of the Polka!-

river, about one hundred miles below thai
city, is 50 gorged up with ice as entire
