DIRECT TRADE. 1t is matter of great surprise
to US that, considering the many arguments which
have been directed this subject, little action has
taken place. Is it not remarkable that country pro-
ducng staple for which there is alwaysa demand {;
which invariably commands good price, should
make a halt way house to market, and pay agents
there, one-sxth of the value of that produce, and
one-sixth of the value of the commodities received
in exchange; when it is in its power to cut off
those expenses merely by speaking the word? This
is the true condition of the South. Charleston had
once the importing trade. Why should she not have
it now! No irrevocabie laws of commerce have
forced it from her but the fact of capital being
largely invested in shipping and other mercantile
affairs in New Y ork. 1t is true, it takes some time
to withdraw the uoney invested in stocks and plant
ing, and drive it to new channel. But this must
be done if the people of the South would not con-
tnue their commercial vassalage to Northern Cities
The leading of capitalists is, that they have
placed too much money in planting and stocks, and
too little in shipping and the other incidents of
merce. 1t is our intention to continue articles
this subject with the view of rousing public attention
to the facts which bear upon it.

4, a NEW AND IMPORTANT INVENTION Rail Road Cars
,Uithout Dust. All orr readers who have trav-
eed on rail road have experienced the great annoy-
ance and distress occasoned by the immense quanti-
ties of dust which insnuates itself into every crack
and screvice in rai-car, almost choaking the occa-
pants to death, toesay nothing Of damage done TO
| clothing. This inconvenience was partly remedied
by the ponderous sprinklers which have been adop-
ted some OF our roads, but have to announce
a new invention, SO simple that only wonder
ever lound 1t out before, and efficient thatth
passengers can travel in rail-car with much
fort in the dustest day in July they can in the
freshest day in January The invention to which we
refer has been made and patented by ingenious fell
iow-citizen. Mr. Nelson Goodyear, and may be brief
ly described as follows
On the roof Of the number of ventilators are
arranged, to allow the air pass freely into the
car when it is in motion. The mouths OF these VEN
tIlaors are covered with fine wire cloth, through
which the air circuates freely, but which eectualy
stops all cnders and other dirt. In each window of
the is placed sash of blinds constructed OF plates
o.gass four inches wide. Thesehlind so arranged
that they are all moved by connecting rod in the
same manner ordinary window stats are opened
shut. The air, coming through the ventilators,
passes with gentle current ont of the blinds or
busters, they are called the outward current
thus formed, eectually preventing particle OF dust
into the and the outside current, formed by the
motion of the carrying the dust TO the rear. This
is the whole operation
The advantages afforded by the of his invention
are manifold, though we mantion but few OF
I
most nolerable nuisance to rail road second
ly, the frames being permanent it prevents the pass
engers from putting their heads aud arms out OF the
windows, thus lessenng the chances of accident;
third, the sash being filled with plates of glass the
view is not at all INSTRUCTED fourth the blinds are
shut opened by means of the connecting rod hfth
there is great saving of expenses to the rail road
corporations, it does away with the necessity for
the ponderous sprnkling machines SIXTH indepen-
dent of repelling the dust, it is delightful mode of
ventilatng the cars; seventh, the busters, by sitting
the noise caused by the motion of the cars, render
conversation much easier and more agreeable than at
present.
Mr. GOODYEAR has attached these busters to one Of
the Hudson river rail road cars in which we took
trip PeekskilI yesterday, and which astonished
the difference they caused in the comfort of the
passengers. We convinced that. as the
invention becomes generally known, it will be consid
cred indispensable all rail roads. Such, also,
We learn, is the opinion of many practical men, and
all others who have witnessed the working of the
busters. Mr.. Goodyear. learn, has taken measures
to secure patents here and in Europe, and We hope
he may reap rich reward for his ingenuity.

PUBLIC ADVERTISING, PRINTING, &C.
We copy the following remarks, on the subject of
advertising lands for sale for taxes and property un-
der execution, from the last Lincoln Courier:
I eve have received copy of Memorial to the next
Legislature, requesting alteration of the law re-
quiring property sold under execution for taxes
to be published in the Raleigh papers, and also sug
costing the passage of act requiring all properly
sold nnder execution, when the value of thirty
dollars, to be advertised in some paper printed in
near the County where such property is to be Sold
When the law first referred passed, there were
but few papers in the State-those of Raleigh hav-
ing the most general circulation. Since that time
presses being established in every neighborhood
and property certainly be advertised better adj
vantage in the home papers, where such can be
by the many who read their County, and who do not
take perhaps either it Or the Raleigh papers.
We have goodlynumber of signatures to the
memorial, which meets with the most decided appro-
baton of all to whom it has been presented. We
have doubt of the passage of such law, but shall
fill up our sheet within the proper time, and forward
| it 10 our Legislators" fEs s' -,....se
We concur with the Courier and the Press of the
State generally, that the law ought be altered in
these respects. The law requiring notices of sales
of lands for taxes by Shers, to be ublished in the
State Gazette, other newspaper in the City
of Raleigh" passed in the the year 1876, at a
time, the Courier correctly observes, when there
were out few papers published in the State We see
reason why the law Snould not De SO alereu DIS 10
authorize the Sheriff TO publish in his County paper;
and if there be paper printed in his County, then
in some paper which, in his opinion, has the most
general circulation in his County.
We approve also of the proposition in relation to
advertising property sold under execution by the
Sheris This is due both to creditor and debtor and
such law, believe, exists in nearly all the States
We also of the opinion that the contract system
which prevails, in regard to the printing of the
Laws and Journals, and for the two Houses during
the session, should be abolished This system has
been sufficiently tried. 1t has worked badly, both
for the State and the Printer; and the longer it is
continued the more Objectionable will it probably be-
come. If the State expects to have its printing neat
" and correctly executed the State pay at least
as fair prices as individuals do. 1t would be quite
easy to frame law fixing the prices by the and
the token, and allowing certain ascertained amount
for folding and bndinghe paper used in all cases,
to weigh much (say twenty or twenty-five pounds
to the ream single medium,) and the type to be of
a certain quality. But we do not propose to dwell
upon this latter point at present. We may take it up
in some future number, and present our views more
at length upon the subject. ez#s
