GREAT FmE-STATEsv1LLE IN RUINS. We are
sorry to learn that very extensive and destructive
fire has occurred in Statesvile 1t originated in an
old house btween Mr. Bells Tavern and the resi-
dence of the late Dr. Moore, and from thence COM
municated with Mr.. Bells Tavern which was
consumed, together with the whole square, inclu-
ding the corner store occupied by Mr.. Grant. The
stables were not burned Mr. Bell lost all his furn
ture and papers. From thence the fire cmmunica-
to the Court House and Mr.. Stockton's store both
ofwhch entirely destroyed. 1t then swept down
the same side of the street, burning the brick
store and all the other buildings on Mr. Simontons
lot occupied, we believe, by Messrs. Rosebro',
Carlton & Alexander were its ravages stayed
until it reached the residence of Mr.. Reynolds which
we understand, was saved.
The merchants saved good many of their dry
goods. The Records of the County were also saw

Some of the loses were insured to small amount
The loss, we suppose, will fall most heavily upon
Mr.. Bell, the obliging and enterprisng proprietor

expense to repair and fit it up, and who also

other buildings.

The Locos hold caucus tonight to nominate Trus-

Holden will get office HuIrah!
The above is from letter of the Raleigh CORES
pendent of the Wilmington Herald, who fourshcs
''ke green bay horse over the signature of Cos
mo-" There are two ways of avoiding the truth,
by direct assertion and the other by nsinuaton.
The latter is the more cowardly of the two, and of
course the one which "Cosmo" has selected for in
dulging his propensity for fbbing. No caucus of
the Democrats has been held for the purpose of
selecting Trustees for the University. The alluson
to the senior editor of this paper is contemplate in
the extreme, and such as no man would have made
who had any regard for courtesy decency.
True TO his habit of fibbing by insinuation "Cos-

member of the Legislature. We have no idea that
he is but if he is his position does not justify
his falsehoods his indecent accusations and his one
sided, warped, twisted and nfair account of mat
tiers and things He will soon be tracked up, not
withstanding his doubling and twisting and the
worst punishment we wish for him is, that he may
be made to look as ridiculous do his staggering,
nonsensical productions The star of his glory shines
with very sicky light.

~ The Wilmington journal disposes as follows
of the attempt of the Know Nothing organs here to
make capital ont of the action of the Senate an
amendment offered to the Free Suffrage bill
"DIsINGENUoUs. On Wednesday last the bill in
troduced into the Senate of this State by Mr.. Boyd
providing for such amendment of the Constitution
would give to all persons qualified to vote for
bers of the House of Commons the right also to vote
for members of the Senate, in plain terms Free
Suffrage, passed the Senate by more than the
sttutional majority Of three ifths which could not
have been the had it no: received some whig
votes, what amounts to the thing, had all
the wing strength been arrayed against it. The OBJ
ject and the sole object of the proposed amendment
namely, the abolition of the fifty acre qualification
for Senatorial voters is well known and has often
been discussed in this State 1t is intended affect
other provision of the Constitution.
This is simply the state of the case and yet upon
these premises the Raleigh Star bases the assertion
that on Wednesday "the dominant majority voted
that all foreigners who may to this State shall
have the privilege of voting for members of the Sen
ate, after they have resided here twelve months and
paid public taxes, although they have not been
naturalized according to the laws of the United
States"
In the first place, them the vote shows that it was
not the dominant majority (by which the Star means
Democratic party alone which passed the Free Suf-
frage Bill and in the second place that Bill in no
manner shape alters in any way the position of
foreigners in this State from what it and has al
ways been both under the original constitution adopt
ed at Halifax, in I7T6, the amended one adopted
at Raleigh in 1885, the first of which gave all
freemen of the age of twenty zone years. who may
have resided in the State one year Immediately pre-
ceding any election and paid public taxes, the right
of votng-the amended constitution is precisely the
with the exception of excluding free negroes.
This provision not under consideration and is
not affected one way or the other. Let our Know
Nothing friends go it as strong as they choose, but
we beg them to stick to the facts"

THE "DEAD-HEAD" SYSTEM.

IT,, : tbo ouo of "retrenchmcnt and reform -
.ho .monev pressure" is squeezing matters and
thinrs into small compasses. The Railroads have
obo,ishcd the dead-hcad" system; that is, taken
AWAY the privilege of editors and others of riding
rfsS pratis(for nothing Jon the iron horse. We are
aIa6 Of TIVE like to economy, and have an idea
IF Incoming economical ourselves. We have sui
f.rcd no little from the " dead-head" system, and
we saw, down with it An editor can now pay his
fave and steam it along without the unpleasant re-
Election that he is expected to puff the wheeling old
engine. praise Grabbed conductor " gentleman
Of mbane manners" and extol the president and
directors as men of wisdom and energy.
Yes, down with the " dead head system in news
papcrs as we'll railroads. Away with pulls
editorial notices. obituaries and subscribers that
never paw Editors should no longer be public pro-
pertv-no longer make themselves ladders on which
political asprants may climb to place, power and
honor Henceforth let the word be, "pay" Pay
for every thing. Pay for puffs pay for obituaries
nav for all notices, and pay in advance Tor your
newspapers-and for riding on the railroad.
The cause of internal improvements must now re-
ceve an impetus that will drive it forward, perhaps
all over the State, and perhaps of it. The dead
head system has had its head taken off, and OF
course largely increased dividends must be the con-
invest their capital in railroads now, well assured
that it will prove a profitable investment why
should editors ride free? What do they do pro bono
pubzico? Make them pay, say we-make every
body pay-let there be kindness no courtesy,
no berality any where. Exact the uttermost larth-
ing in every transaction-do nothing for nothing,
and count nothing something except m0"ey-the
real rhno, the-raggcd bank bills Then we will all
flourish we will all get rich, and poor folks and Ia
vors shall be banished Long has this " dead-head"
system hung like incubus upon our railroads,
and we hail its removal the dawn of a brighter
day. the commencement Of new and golden era.
In little while every body snail have every thing,
and we will all be prosperous and happy. Pay"
is the word and the world will still continue to turn
over the to rise and set, and mankind generally
to ride on railroads and pay for it.
Wonder how many railroads there would have
been in North Carolina if editors had never
published any thing about them except what they
were paid for Will some make the calculation
and tell us? Who urged their Importance upon the
people? Who showed their benefits? Who en-
couraged their construction? 1t matters not who
it was so as it was not the editors therefore let ed
tors pay, say we. We trust the press will every
