CONGRESS ADJOURNED.

Roth Houses of Congress adjourned on Mon
dav the 10Th instant in conformity with their joint
resolution. at IL o'clock. The hour.was consid.
cred as percnptorily binding on the Speakers but
we trust il is the very last time that the resolution
for adjournment is to be fixed at particular hour
for, what is the effect to-day2 Two or three OF
the most important bills of the last days OF the
session were cut off by the knees. The navy
pension bill is thrown overheard, to the great de-
triment of many poor widow. The post office
route bill, embracing, among other important fea:
tures the provision rcvving the privilege OF frank
ing in favor of all those post offices the salary oil
which does not amount to 500, was oVerlaid
The bill confirming the Cherokee treaty, which
had been twice rejected in the Senate on Saturday
night, and then passed by majority of one, was
lost for want OF time to act finally upon it.
The important bill which authorizes the Presi-
dent to employ 81 100000 in facilitating the SET
tlement of peace with Mexico, was actually lost
bv MIR. Senator Davis of Massachusetts, speaking
against time, whilst voices from the chamber were
heard demonstrating against him for this deter
mined attempt to prevent the Introduction of
resolution for prolonging the session for few
hours. This measure, which is deemed most i'm
portant for negotiating a peace between the two
countries, and the fundamental principle OF which
was recognized by the vote of the House of Rep
resentalveS on the passage of the bill and by
decided vote OF the S. nate their own resolu-
tions, has been sacrificed by senator's wasting
the time of the Senate until the moment of nd
journment had arrived.
Whatever mischief may arise from the loss of
this bill, may be fairly attributed to the honora-
bic" senator from Massachusetts.
1t is unfortunate that these measures should have
failed during The last hours OF the session but
however much we may regret the loss of them,
we cannot hesitate 10 pronounce, that this has been
one of the most remarkable and brillian: sessions
which has ever been held within the walls of the
Capitol. lts importance has compensated for its
duration. Long and arduous and animated as it
has bern, we rejoice that it has been continued
until all the great measures Of reform which the
President recommended in his message, and the
interests of the country demanded have been car
ried through, except the graduation of the public
lands But this trophy remains for the next ses-
sion to weave around its brow. We shall review
the great works of the session, however, in fu-
tHre article. We have no room for it this eve

Yes, North Carolina has again thrown herself
into the embraces of Federalism and stands IN
glorious degradation arm in arm with blue-iIght
Massachusetts and abolition Vermont. Happy,
happy old State, she can now have two senator's

flags of Abolition and the Tariff, in assailing the
institutions of the South, and in loading her peo-
pie with taxes 10 fill to- o>repletion the overfowing

this indeed victory IA victory that disgraces
the State, and makes her people the willing nstru-
ments of their own ruin and destruction.
We have but few returns from the late elections
but such as we have render the defeat of the Dem
ocracy overwhelming, beyond all question. Gov
ernor and Legislature all gone, and the Demo
cracy down without knife" Such result fills
US with sorrow and dismay. We did what we
could 10 prevent it !; but since majority of our
people seem determined to follow the road to ruin
we give up-let them "go it with rush" and
probably the delusion in which they are now en-

In relation to the results of this election, we
have few words to address to our own party in

to speak them plainly II is not the strength Of
the Federalists in this State that has given them
the victory. There are influences at work in our
own ranks that would defeat the best organized
party with the best principles in the world and
it is ofthcse influences we shall speak. To re-
deem N. Carolina from her false and foul position

TARIFF OF 1912 AND 1876,

The federal press rs was to have been expect
ed, have already raised the cry Of ruin. The
poor laborer is to be thrown out of employment
by the passage of the new tariff bill What a
dreadful state of affairs, when the laboring classes
are to be ruined by reduction of their taxes |
And then, too, how soliciIous our wealthy capt.
taists have become about The interests of the moor
laborerl Now it strikes US, that as the bill mate
rally reduces the duties articles of general use
such as every poor man has occasion to purchase
tits especially designed to relieve this class of much
OF the oppressive taxation thrown upon them bv
the unjust and unequal tariff of 1912
Upon a comparison of the rates of duties impos-
ed under the tariff of ls42 and of the rates impos-
ed on the same articles by the new tariff bill of
1876, it will be seen that two important articles
Of general use, the tariff is greatly reduced. Bar
or bolt iron, instead of paying duty of 73 per
cent. pays only 80 per cent So with the article
OF sail, which under The act of I842 paid duty
oi 76 per cent-t is now reduced to 20 per cent.
Every farmer, and every laboring man, must see
at once, that if the importer of these articles paws
but 20 or 80 per cent duty, he can afford them
at much less rate than if he paid duty of 73 or
76 per cent. The actual dif;re in the cost of
these articles being on the first named S33 on
