CoLToNs New ArLAs-PARr SECOND. The
ond number of this valuable geographical pubca-
ton, to which we have before referred, is lying
table, and from the examination we have been
able to give it not inclined to alter the opin
ion heretofore expressed of its merits. This
Der contains finely executed maps of Upper Canada,
showing the vicinity of Niagara Falls on another and
larger scae-Connecticut, Alabama, Kentucky and
Tennessee. Each map is accompanied by page
of letter press giving the statistics relative
to the manufactures of the State county delneated
its commerce. internal improvements, finances,
denies, schools, colleges libraries, churches, &C.,
and also gives a summary of its history down to the
present time besides much other valuable statistical
information.
These maps are engraved in the highest style of
the art and the Atlas a work of art alone, indie
pendent of its other merits is eminenty entitled to
the patronage of the public liberal share of which
we hope it may receive.
Mr.. A. w. Bostwick, the General Agent for this
State has received bound volumes of the above work,
which may be examined at the Bookstore of Mr.. H.
D. Turner.

az On Wednesday, in the Senate of this State,
Mr. Haughton moved as an amendment to the Free
Suffrage BILL that foreigner should be allowed
to for Senator unless he had been in the State
five years That the substance-the amend
ment ITSELF offered, will be found in the Senate
proceedings of that day in this paper. Mr.. Rayner
expressed the hope that Mr.. Haughton would &C
cept amendment extending the time to taOenty-One
gears. This, we take it, is pretty good evidence
of Mr.. Rayner's "Know Nothingsm." We put it
on record for future reference That gentleman is
yet in the vigor of manhood, and will be doubtless
in public life five or ten years hence. Know
Nothingsm will then be as dead as the other isms
of the day-new isms, it is true, will succeed to
those which disturb the public mind but the
great principles of federation and justice will be the
same: They die not. By the way, the speech of
Mr.. Rayner in the Convention of 1885, in favor of
federation and religious liberty, is not forgotten.
IHots record too and may be repubished long.

- The discussion in the House of Commons,
which has been going on for some days past with
reference to the financial condition of the State, and
the paying to the North Carolina Railroad
Company the States last instalment on its stock,
may have for its object, far of the Wings
are concerned, embarrassment and injury to the
Democratic party. OF course we do not knOo the
object; but gentlemen who may be ready to see
embarrassment and confusion in the States affairs,
if they can at the time thereby bring CEN
sure upon their political opponents, are making
calculations the disposition and sense of justice
of the people which will not be sustained. 1t does
seem to that there other objects besides that
of the depressed condition of the States finances
which gentlemen could select, upon which to make
displays of eloquence before the House. And it
appears to also-and we have right to say it
that the Wing leaders in the House, some of
them, not deeply devoted to the cause of in
ternal improvements as they endeavored to con-
vince the people they were, during the last cam
paign. We may allude to these matters again.
eY~ The Wilmington Commercial publishes the
Resolutions slavery recently introduced into the
House of Commons of this State, by Mr.. Settle, and
adds:
eve insert the following Resolutions the sla-
very question, now before our Legislature, with
pleasure, in the hope that they may be passed with
out opposition. The correct ground taken, if
receded from, will be ruinous to hopes and to
the peace and safety Of the Union. In this matter,
''the attempt and not the deed confounds us"-and
it better that nothing had been said than hav
ing once asserted the truth, to fly from it.
We hope our Legislature will see the Importance
of this movement and the peril that must attend
paltering action in this case. The principle ought
to be asserted boldly and unanimously; and with
out any ire-eatng, clustering iibusterng folly,
show determination that consequences
shake fro.. its hold" ....

SUMMARY PRocEEDIEGs-The Huntsville (Ala)
Democrat gives an account of the seizure and alb.
duction of two men named Cason, by numerous
party of men from the vicinity OF New Market and
Tennessee. The Casons seem to be very unfortu.
nate. The Democrat says:
The Casons, it will be remembered were recent.
ly driven from their former residence, near New
Market as persons of bad character. Before leav.
ing, one of them was whipped by the populace-
They then temporarily located in an obscure build.
ing, about four miles from Huntsville, and twenty
miles from their former residence From this
place they were driven, in the dead hour of night
by u large body of men, and the old man, (the fa
ther OF the familyD was taken from his bed and
given about 400 lashes. After this they came to
Huntsville thinking doubtless they would be safe
from farther molestation and where they expected
they could institute legal proceedings against those
who had thus violated the law. recent report,
coming from some OF the parties, is to the effect
that the CasOns are safe from the lash or gallows
Another, that the proceedings by which they were
arrested, were legal; and yet another, that they
were kidnapped, to be taken to Tennessee, where
some old process lies against them, and from which
State they fled, some years back; and that the OBJ
ject now is TO hand them over to the authorities
there. ea

INCIDENTS AT A FIRE.-Among those who suf
fered by the recent conhagration in London, Ohio,
was Mr.. Jacob &. Kemp, formerly of Chsrlestown,
Va. The Cincinnati Columbian relates the follow
ing:
One of the incidents of the fire, was the removal
of two kegs of powder, by Mr.. Kemp. He mount
ed the stairs to the room that contained the dan
gerous explosive, and finding it already in flames,
pushed in. seized the kege already on FIRE, and
with one under each arm, marched out, little think
ing how imminent was the danger OF being blown
to atoms Another example was Mr.. Phifer, the
owner of one block when il was settled fact that
the buildings must perish, deliberately drew forth
his pipe and tobacco, crowded it full and from the
ruins seized red hot brand and kinded the sooth.
ing weedl Another was by woman who lost q
valuable shawl ty theft and though her husband
was totally burnt out forgot everything save her
shawl, and dwelt upon that as the greater loss.
