New Papcrs, Ac.--our MEND Atkin-
son, Of the Danyie Reporter, has retired from the
editorial chair, and his paper having been discOn-
,inued, is succeeded by THE HrnILD, edited by
Messrs. Lylss & Howard. The Herald is neatly
printed, and from the number before US we should
judge that the editors possessed the ability and
industry requisite to make il useful and interest
ing paper. II is Wing IN politics, and the price
Of subscription is $500, to be discharged by the
payment of $3.50 in advance.
THk ISpErExDKxT, edited by Mr.. Loving, is
now published in Wilmington. It has been en-
iarged. and otherwise improved.

The editor Of the RLKisH STAR, in card to
the public. announces that by the addition Of q
few hundred subscribers to his hist, he can procure
he services Of one of the ablest writers in the
state" for the editorial department of his paper.
The bare announcement Of the name Of the gen.
,leman TO whom alluson is made, we have no
doubt would soon procure the requisite number.
The three or four last numbers Of the Star, we
presume, have had a touch from his pen, and they
sparkle with more than won,cd brlliancy. We
hope the Wings Of the state will take up the edi-
| tors proposition, and send him the number Re-
quired forthwith.

Times" put forth to the. world, in its columns.
series Of the most reasonable charges a.
ganst large number Of the members of the
United States Senate, comprising all the
Wings and several Democrats. The princi-
pal Of these charges were, that an intrigue was
going on between certain Senators and the
British Minister. the object Of which was to
compromise the rights and the honor of the
United States, with regard TO the settlement
Of the Oregon contrOversy--,hat shat treason
able intrigue had been discussed. and that the
treason had been finally resolved upon at the
dinner table Of Mr.. Pakenham, around which,
according to the allegations of the Times,
these Tecreant Senators were congregated, and
that caucus had been held by the Wing Sen.
ators at which the British Minister was pres
eni, at which caucus it was resolved to force
vote on the Oregon question. previous to the
sailing Of the Cadkeria. in order that she Nigh,
carry out the result; which was, of course, sc
% favorable to England. This is the sub.
stance Of the charges made By the editor o.
the Times. (Mr. H. H. Robinson.) Mr.. Col
quit, Of Georgia. in his place in the Senate

In the House Of Representatives, che prin-
cipal matter Of Importance during the pas,

know our sentiments on this subject. They
know that We are opposed to the general Go.

of internal improvements IN the various States,
whether with or without the consent Of the
said States. We will say, that we are sur

contemplated appropriations for internal i'm
provement.- We had thought thas this ques-
ton was long ago settled; that the Maysville
Road veto had given it its quietus but we
suppose we are mistaken. The subject is
again under discussion in the House, and we
cannot take upon Us to say what its fate will
be. We will say, and that boldly, that the

and such as should be frowned upon by every

PENITENT1ARY.

The much talked of ..staiistics" on the s,h
-ject of Penitentiaries, which Gov. Graham
was to collect and lay before the people, and
which was TO convince them that We in hi.
State should adopt the system, will be found
on our frs, ree. The people can read md
Judge for the msefves but for one, we must
be permitted TO enter our protest against this
one-sided investigation Of Gov. Graham. W.
donot say this to array partizan feeling against
the Governor; but merely TO show tina. the
question itself has been ha ndled by an advo.
cate who is DESTROYS OF presenting it in the
most favorable light. We do not desire to see
this question mixedup with politics. 1t should
be decided upon its naket merits.
But even bySGov. Graham's showing, eve.
~ State where the system of Penitentiary Ia.
Dor has been adopted, has found it more or
less tax upon the people. except Connect.
cut And il is not stated, as must have been
we'll known TO Gov. G., that in most of the
States, the Penitentiary and its management
has been and continues to be, the source Of
the most bitter contention between the two
political parties. In Georgia and Virginia
this is particularly the case. The patronage
of the Penitentiary is looked to as source of
party strength and enrichment, while every
thing connected with its management,is mag.
nifed to either build up or pull down the re.
speciive parties. We want no such bone Of
conten,ionin this Stale.
AS to the cost of building a Penitentiary,
we think Gov. Graham with his ''eslimates,"
is wide Of the mark. No State that We have
heard of, has built one for less than $l0O, 900.
That was the estimate in the bill which was
before our last Legislature and instead Of
coming down TO $4,000, we venture the as
serion, that if the people were 10 decide in IA
yor of establishing one in this State, the cost
in the end would notbe less than half mil
lion Of dollars. How was it with our State
House The people were told at the start,
that $75 900 or SlOO, 900, would be all sufh.
Client; but the work oncescommenced, and the
bill! runzup to over half as-nillion, and the ex-
pense is not yet done with, for the lot is not
yet enclosed. Thirty thousand dollars would
not lay the foundation, even, of Penitenlia.
ry. We are sorry GOV. G. did not give ths'
actual cos, Of the different Peniienliari-s.
But even admitting as true, all that is said
in favor Of the system-thai it would cost but
$50. 1000. and that small profit might posi-.
bly, be made from the labor Of the convcts in
the course of time, where are we TO get the
money 10 build one The State is already
in debt near a million Of dollars on account Of

which arrived at this port yesterday, SO hours
from Galveston, we have received our files of
Texan papers. from which we make up the
following summary or news: # .&
The people of Corpus Christi have great
objections to the movement Of the army to the
Rio Grande, and they have even gone SO far
as to question the right Of the United States
to the territory between their village and the
river; besides which they have been guilty of
certain other outrages, objectionable in civic
lized community, and which are thus descri-
bed in the Corpus Christi Gazette. 'r

OF the 18th. man named Hiram Ackley was
found dead in Front street. The deceased
came by his death from drunkenness and cold.

THE OREGON QUESTION.-ITS PR Es-
ENT ASPECT.

Il would seem that time has no effect in al
laying the anxiety which is felt by all classes
and all sections of the Union, with regard to
the present and future aspect of this much
vexed question. Our readers will remember
that on tho 9th of last month. the House Of
Representatives passed joint resolution by a
vote Of l63 against Sd, instructing the Presi-
dent to give England the ''twelve months no.
tice," for terminating the convention Of joint
occupation of August, 1927. They will also
remember that the discussion in the Senate on
This subject, had been postponed at the begin
ming of the session till the 10th Of last month.
On that day, the whole subject of our foreign
relations was taken mp, and has been since
then up 10 the present moment, constantly un-
der discussion. The principal questions in
volved in the discussion are, first, shall the
notice be given? second, in what form, and
when shall it be given? Various propositions
are now before the Senaie-some for author
ising the President to give the notice when,
in his wisdom, he may think such step ex-
Pedient-some postponing the period of Civ
ing the notice, till the end of the session
others again for giving it in plain direct Ian
guage, and forthwith. There seems no doubt
70 exist on the minds Of the best informed OF
those who have attentively watched the pro-
gTess of events, nor have we any doubt our
self, but that the notice will be given in some
shape or other. We think it should be given
in the form in which Mr.. Allen reported it
from the committee on foreign relations. We
have always, ever since the matter has been
brought before the public mind, been of opin-
ion that giving the notice is the very first and
most essential step towards final settlement
Of the question. We predict that before the
twelve months would expire, the question
would be amicably settled-forever put 10
rest. We do earnestly hope that the Senate
will bring the debate to close-we can see
no good reason for the present procrastination.
The matter has been discussed in every pos
sible aspect, and we have no doubt every Sem
ator has made up his mind how he is going
to vote-why not then march up to the point
at once. The country is in feverish state OF
anxiety. 1t wishes to know what its Repre-
sentatives on the floor of the national Legis.
lature will do in the matter.

Der. A light punishment for so gross an out
rage. Thus has ended this affair, which has
appeared to Us more like the enactment of a
farce than the grave acts and doings Of the
most dignlfed body in the universe. Most
certainly, we think. the investigation was not
necessary to vindicate the character of the
Senate from such fagi,ious charges. Mos,
certainly, We think, the whole proceeding is
calculated TO lower the dignity of the Senate
Chamber.
