only exceeded by the patriotism which called them
into action.
Such were The men and such the days of the Revo-
luton, days in which you bad not only heroes in the
camp, but also in the couneil-your Hoopers and
your Harnetts. as well your Moores, and your Lii
lingons and your Ashes. Men unsurpassed in valor
or devotion by the proudest names of antiquity men
whom we must hold in honor be recreant to all the
feelings of gratitude and patriotism. Let no, be
so recrean. Let US build high, at last, that monu-
ment, the foundation stone of which this day lay
in honor of a victory enob1ed by noble cause. Let
us ever haow in our hearts the spot which We
stand-let the monument we build on it ever he an
altar TO freedom, where we may relume The fires of
patriotism, and hither, like Hamilcar of old, let
come with children, and swear on such an altar
undying hostility to the enemies of their county
We have thus briefly glanced at some of the points
in an address, which listened to with marked
pleasure and enthusiasm by the vast audience assem-
bed-much has been unavoldably omitted much
merely limited at rather than reported.
After Mr.. Wright had concluded, the ceremony of
LAYING the corner stone Of monument commemora-
tive of the event celebrated, proceeded with un
der tie direction of the committee of arrangements.
DR.. F. J. Hill of Whining ION, made brief but highly
appropriate address ana proceeded 10 depOslt DOX
containing the publications of the day-al the re-
mains of the patriotic Grady that could be fourd,
etc, after which the stone sealed up the bene
dction was pronounced by Rev. Mr.. Grier the mill
tary fired salute and the ceremonies of the day
al close.
Some little Inconvenience experienced from
some of the arrangements moi having been made in
| anticipation of so large crowd, but these ma tiers
will always happen and cannot well be avoided. The
occasion upon the whole was a pleasant one, and
passed off without any unpleasant incident to mar
the enjoyment of those participating, if we except
the unfortunate loss Of colored boy belonging 10 a
gentleman in Fayetteville who fell from The Nagno
la on her way up and drowned before assistance
could be rendered Our military visitors from Fay
etteville left on Saturday, carrying with them our
best wishes for their health and happness-the jub-
laton is over and We are once more at work, none
the worse trust for the brief relazation-none the
less patriotic for the Associations of Moores Creek.
We might dwell upon the friends we met from va
rious counties, the good feeling and harmon Perva
ding the asSemblage, ETC. etc, but are not these
things for each man to know and remember on his
own hook. Ma or General Marsteer, was present
in the uniform of his rank, and looked better

The news Generally.

It will be seen that on Friday last the House OF
Representatives took action on the Corruption Cases
of Messrs Gilbert, Matteson and Welsh, passing re-
solutions declaring the former guilty of conduct
uniting them for membership of the House, and lay
on the -dismissing them for want of evidence.
Gilbert and Matteson anticipated the formal resolu-
ton of expulsion by resigning
On Saturday an effort by MIR. Washburn to get up
the Cape Fear bill with the view of lacking other
appropriation bills to it amendments, failed by

of the rules We fear hat the chances for our ap.
preparation are very slim.
The Senate has passed substitute for the House
Tariff Bill The Senate Bill is offered by Mr.. Hunter
of Virginia, and contemplates reduction of fifteen
millions per anuum. We fear that no bill for re-
duction of the revenue pass this Session.

Congress- beyond doubt, owes it to its own dignity
to investigate and TO punish all cases of bribery or
corruption charged against its members should The
investigation result in conviction. Without such
course be adopted the national legislature must sink
into contempt and lose the confidence and respect of
the country. Unfortunately, this confidence is al
ready too much impaired from the impression that
these charges are not without foundation. We fear
that this impression not an erroneous one, although
we are far from joining in that tone of sweeping de-
nuncation that at sets down politicians
and Cor gressmen in a lump wolse than their
neghbors There are as gooi men 10 Congress- and
as many of item, in any similar body of the same
number, subjected 10 the same temptations.
But~while we recognize the necessity for this in
vestigation, cannot hut regret theaoccurrence of
that necessity at late period in the session. when
50 much business has TO be done, and so few days
remain to do it in. The fear becomes general that
the new President will be forced to resort to the call
Of an extra session. for the purpose OF having action
taken upon the necessary appropriation bills, though
this may, perhaps be avoided, especially as the mem
bers will get no extra pay, and may therefore be dis
posed TO do something the very close, to obvlate
this necessity.
o us mere, 50 ldT DIS our IL
ed we fear that the effect of this obstruction of bu
siness will be dangerous, if not fatal. and if that
appropriation does fail, the corruption affair may
fairly be charged with that failure, that 1t will be
quite an expensive affair to the Cape Fear Bar.
But let us hope for the best. Our eyes are turned
