THE inference.

From New York city, the active work capital
OF the country and certainly the representative OF inc
business practical mind of the State the senior editor
of the Fayetteville Observer writes home very de-
spondingly of Mr.. Fillmores prospects and OF his
probable withdrawal. From Saratoga, the resort OF
much of its woudbe upper tendon. he writes, pro-
phecying much success to Mr. Fillmore, at least IL
that State Now, we wish the Observer not TO mis-
take as it did once BEFORE when it supposed we ar
raigned the editor for going after health or amuse'
ment where he thinks or believes he can lind either
for no one has better right to seek either for health
or relaxation than member of the press-gang who
has been working hard in the traces. We simply
desire 10 mark the difference between the world that
works for living and the world that merely seeks
to spend what has been made. With the former
Mr.. Filmores chances are slim, with the latter they
are quite considerable. We wish 10 contrast the &C.
ve earnest world of New York city with the trlVo-
ous or aristocraticaly ndisposed world OF Saratoga
In the busy haunls of industry Buchanan has MS

05- What are they doing in Congress What are
they going to do These are the questions most fire.
quently asked of editor in these times Frankly,
then, we have no answer to give, save to publish the
talkings far In both houses. If our readers can
find from them what they are doing in Congress, we
shall be happy to hear it, We cannot. What Con-
gress IS going to do, is another question not more
easily answered than the first 1t will, perhaps, do
something-patch up sort of arrangement.
Thing will be compromised we fear, until the back
bone be compromised out of the Constitution They
that is the letter writers-say that if the House
We're full, the Army Appropriation bill could be
passed without the Kansas proviso. The same au-
thorltes give among the absentees Messrs Foster
Her ert, Harison Kennett, Ket, Puryear, Paine,
Reade and Wells against the Kansas proviso; and
Messrs. Brenton and Sabin for it, But these narnes
do not account for OnG-halt, hardly one third of the
absentepism
They begin to say that the difficulty is with some
OF the laws passed by the territorial Legislature of
Kansas, which they say are unconstitutional Well,
II they are so, there is legal mode Of ascertainng
that tactthe courts arc open to afford redress The
South, in our opinion, ought always in every event
to keep herself right strictly right If. then there
are any Jaws OF Kansas which come under the opera
ton of the bill introduced by Mr. Weller, then such
laws are not right and their enactment was not sim.
ply not right but it was not prudent or advisable
The friends of the Constitution, wherever they are,
ought to so into the coming contest with no impedi-
ment. They ought to remove all blame from them
selves, and throw it all where it properly belongs
We of the South must have no unnecessary weight
to carry IN the approaching race, and if the worst
comes 10 the worst, we will have clear record-a
stainless cause and united people, able to meet any
crisis which may come. and knowing how to deal
promptly with any abolition emissares who may be
lurking among us, and such snakes in the grass
WILL we fear, always be found, but not unmatched
Mobile has pointed out the remedy.

Congress-.

On Tuesday nothing was done. In the Senate Mr.
Weller introduced his bill in regard 10 Kansas, of
which he had given notice the day before. II has
already been published in this paper. Mr.. Crtten-
den gave notice of his intention introduce bill TO
alter and amend the act of Congress organizing the
Territories of Nebraska and Kansas.
Some discussion arose on Mr.. Weller's BILL Messrs.
Bayard and Mason thought if the people of Kansas
had transcribed the powers conferred upon them in
the organic act and had enacted laws which were in
contravention of the Constitution of the United States
the proper judicial tribunals would decide the mat
ter and it would be unwise and improper in Congress
to forestall their action. Mr. Mason moved to Law
upon the table the bill of Mr. Weller together with
an abolition amendment to it, offered by Wilson, of
Massachusetts,
Mr. Weller begged that the motion be withdrawn,
as he desired to speak on the subject. The motion
having been Withdrawn, Mr. Weller proceeded to
say that he of the last Senators upon the
floor 10 feel any sympathy with the factious course
of the House of Representatives in defeating the
Army-Appropriation Bill. The only object which he
he'd in view 10 do what the Senate did some
three or four weeks ago. Some of the laws which
the Kansas Legislature had enacted were unconstiu.
tiona. Freedom of speech is guaranteed by the con-
stitution but there was law in Kansas directly in
conflict with that provision, and which prohibits the
people from discussing particular question When
he found laws clearly in conflict with the constitu
ticn he did not choose 10 wait for the Judgment of
the judiciary, but was in favor of abrogating them at
once.
After some discussion between Messrs Butler,

Congress.

1t would appear that The Republican leaders IN
Congress begin to feel that they have placed them
selves in an untenabe position, at the same time that
they also feel that they have gone so far in maintain
ing that position to render direct retreat from it
impossible, without fatally damaging their prospects
in the ensuing election. Lewis D. Campbell, OF
Ohio, man of very decided ability, although both a
Know Nothing and Republican, has, throughout,
exhibited desire 10 compromise measures, to come
to an arrangement to so word the bill 10 render
it possible for the Senate TO acquesce in some sort OF
provso Indeed, we think Campbell would rather, if
the thing could have been brought about. have had
the bill to pass at the regular session than have the
present state of things in which his own shrewdness
tells him the Republicans have play ed too strong
game-have over-done the thng-stretched it to the

Where are Reade, Paine and Puryear Why are
they still absent from their posts?
AS the Herald the other day asked, where was
Cameron? He did good service in the Governors
election, etc. The Herald ought not to poke fun al
its confreres about their good service Wonder how
much of the thirteen thousand ma ority is due Il
Cameron's good service.
Where are Reade, Puryear and Paine =!
S.-As we wish to do strict justice to all, VIZ
here add what we have heard since the above was
penned- that Col. Paine is at home, laborine
under severe and protacted indisposton. If GU: in

our remarks do not apply to him, " otherwise to re

Coon Days WORK IN GRAIN AT CHIcAGo.-A train
of fifty cars is an extremely long one; forty cars
mako a great show on any road. The grain cars on
roads cenering here usually bring about three hun,
dred and fifty bushels each of corn or wheat, and
about six hundred bushels of oats. On Thursday.
between A. M. and 10 P. NJ, one hundred and
four cars of grain taken into Gibbs, Griffin &
Co.'S warehouse, by three out of their four elevators
besides that taken from teams, resting an hour Tor
dinner and another for tea The grain amounted to
about 81, 400 bushels Chicago Tribune, dug Is.
0z- On the North Carolina and Wilmington Il
Weldon Rail Roads, only two hundred and forty
bushels of wheat are transported in Car. Is this
difference in quantity caused By the cars being too
small, or are they sufficiently laden Most GER
tany, unless curves and grades on the North Caro-
lima roads will not admit of an increase. Those who
have the management should see that as much be
carried in car on them is elsewhere. An in
crease of $50 per car would pay we'll. K. K.
