THE SENATORSHIPS.

1t is known that the next Legislature will have to
discharge the duty of electing two United States
Senators-one to serve out the term now vacant and
running, and the other to succeed Mr. Badger, after
the fourth of March next.
The Democratic majority in the Legislature is suf
ticently large not only to ensure the election of
sound and reliable men, but to secure spirit of har
mony in the deliberations of the party on the sub
ject. We take it for granted that caucus nomina-
tions will be made, and that the nominees of the
caucus will be elected This would be in accordance
with the usage of party, and is indeed the only
sure means of combining the strength of numbers
and of thereby carrying out the wish of the majority
1t would not become us to thrust advice upon the
members of the Legislature, but we ask leave most
respectfully to suggest to Democratic friends of
that body the Importance of early and prompt ac-
ton as to the Senatorships. The reasons for this
suggestion arc obvious, and we will not refer to
them particularly, further than to observe that
perience has shown that the ordinary business of
legislation cannot be properly transacted while cleo
tons of such high Importance are pending. We
do not see why the Senatorial elections may not be
disposed of early in the second week of the session.

NAG's HEAD. We learn from gentleman who
has just returned from Nags Head that the visit
ors at this delightful watering place number 500,
and that the ocean sea bathing is very fine. Much
of the intelligence, beauty and wealth of North Car
olina are now assembled there.

We are no advocates for a Wild inconsiderate po-
licy of improvement, nor do desire to see a mar
row, contracted system pursued by our people.
Star.
That is the true ground. We thought the Star
would talk thus after the election Before the cleo
ton every section was to have its improvement and
Gen. Dockery was to obtain "our sheer" of the
public lands with which to make the improvements.
The election has had at least good effect upon
the Start has shocked it back into the paths of
reason and common sense.

CAPT. WJTCHER.

The recent election of Capt. Witcher to
the Presidency of the Richmond and Danville
Railroad, will be received with lively salts
faction by all interested in that great i'm
proyement. Capt. Witcher has been one of
the earliest and ablest friends of the road,
both in the Legislature and elsewhere, and
will bring to his new position degree of
tact, experience and Judgment, and an ar
dent devotion to the work, which cannot but
prove of the greatest value to its interests
The other gentlemen whose names were men,
toned in connection with this office, will,
without doubt, cheerfully bow to decision
which confers the Presidency upon veteran
champion of the Richmond and Danville
Railroad, and one who has led so long and
useful career, both in public and private
life, as Vincent Witcher.
Capt. Witcher, though somewhat advanc-
ed in years, is by no means an Old Fogy. We
look to him to prove in his management of
the important interests confded to his care,
as Old Zach proved ON the Rio Grande, and
Sir Charles Napier will demonstrate on the
Baltic, that energy is never so effective as
when combined with wisdom.

THE NEW MARITIME TREATY

The Herald Washington correspondent of
April IL, repeats that the President is opposed
to treaty on neutral righs, but insists on
proclamation. 1t does not appear, according
to his present statement, that any treaty has
been yet made. Henow says that Mr. Buch-
anan. in his despatch by the Europa, said he
could make treaty on the subject, and it is
thought possible that it will come by the next
steamer.

CUBAN AFFAIRS,

II also denounces the whole American press,

correspondent of the Standard, in reply to
the ..duodecimo edition of man, who edits

poets all the essential requisites of a me,cspa-
per. the most humble Journal published even

ish paper, the Official Gazetteer" contains
a false and villainous attack upon the Consul
ofthe United States. We are pleased to hear
from the Standard correspondent, that Com
modore Newton, who has arrived at Havana
in the u. s. frigate Columbus, has manifested
the just indignation which every American
must feel at the recent outrageous conduct
of the Spanish authorities by not kacing sa-
luted The Spanish flag since has arrical. We
trust that the United States Navy will soon

Cuban patriotism, was the first organ of the
Cubans in the United States. 1t still exists

The FAIR.-The ladies of the Leigh
Street Baptist Church still continue to hold out in
ducements for public patronage. The arrangements
of the Fair room are really beautiful, and we can
assure our readers that they will be well repaid if
they will go there. The dancing of Robert Macdut,
last night was received with great applause. No
one cried "fIold enough" but there was general
desire expressed to have him go on. No one eer
saw 30 blithe creature. Twists turnings and con-
tortions, jigs, filings and mysterious movements,
were rapidly executed by the said Robert until all
thought he must stop from sheer exhaustion, when
the truth suddenly came outl Wonder ceased
