The WEArHER.-Ths is certainly the most back
ward Spring We have experienced for many years.
The'trees are still bare, AZ the grasses and early
flowers are only beginning to peep out in sunny
places. By this time in April, the 18th, we have
the forest green with leaves, the corn up and
flowers blooming everywhere. We recollect that on
the 18th April, 1874, when Mr.. Clay was here, the
weather was quite warm and the oaks in the Capitol
Square were nearly full-leaved. Now they have
scarcely commenced budding. Just now, however.
We have some promise of genial weather. Seeds
may be put in the ground with safety. We may
expect the Spring to open upon at once, and veg
citation will then grow rapidly.
The greater part of the fruit has been killed in the
bud. There may be some apples and cherries, but
the peaches have generally been blasted. But few
of the latter trees have bloomed.

The Sixth District.

We learn that the candidates for Congress in this
District-the nominations having been made the
present weck-are Alfred NJ. Scales, Jr. Esq. Of
Rockingham, Democrat and Col. r. c. Puryear,
Know Nothing and nti-Nebraska, the late member.
Mr.. Scales opposed Col. Puryear two years ago. and
came within few votes of defeating him. He is
stronger now than he was then, and Puryear is
weaker. With proper and united efforts, We have
no hesitation in expressing the opinion that Mr..
Scales will be elected. He will do his full share
but let ecery Democrat in the District 60 to work at
once, and cease not until victory shall perch upon
our standard
Col. Puryear has misreprcsented the District too
long already. His against the Kansas Nebras-
ka bill would have come better from Northern
abolitionist than from a Southern Representative.
The Supreme Court of the United States has decid
ed against his vote and has declared that the odious
Missouri restriction, to which he clinss with such
tcnacity, null and void from the first. With
whom does he go?-with the five Judges who have
asserted the Constitutional rights Of the South in
the common territories, or with the two black lie.
publican Judges, Mclean and Curtis, who have de-
cded against the South?
Again, Col Purycar left his seat in the House Of
Representatives at time when the black Repub-
licans declared that they would accomplish their
nefarious purposes destroy the government ITSELF
the session expired, with the appropriation bills
not passed, and the President convened Congress
again, step indispensable to save the govern
ment,-Col. Puryear returned home, knowing the
proclamation Of the President had been issued, re-
quiring his attendance as a member of the House !;
AMI he did not go back to Washington until forced
to do so by the clamors of his friends and constitu
ents. Of course he dren his pay up to the end OF
the session. He did not forget that Is it true that
he said, that OCCASION that the Democrats had
60: the country into difficulty, and might get it out?
Let him answer that before the fcope. And did he
not declare that in his opinion, Fremont would be
as safe for the South as Buchanan Let him ansn CT
that also. Such man is not fit to represent a
Southern constituency. The contest will be ami
mated and the vote may be close; but repeat, il
the Democrats and anti.Know Nothings of the
District do their duty by the gallant Scales his
cess is sure.

CIRCULAR.
WnNrNeroS, N. c., March 80, 1857.


To the Editors Of the
Salisbury Watehman and Herald:
DEAR SIRs There have been several complaints
made through the newspapers Of Salisbury, Of the
delay of goods shipped via this Port for places on
the N. G. K Road.
portation Agent informs me, this Spring. when the
charges with the goods and when bills of lad.
ing were received, by the company before the re.
cept of the goods in Wilmington. The goods ofthe
Messrs Jones' were here and advertised by the con.
sgnee of the vessel before the bills of ladne came
to hand.
There now in warehouse-goods, some six car
loads for persons at Salisbury, Lexington and Con-
cord, without the sea charges being entered the
bills of lading, and are consequently detained, await
ing these charges.
Some Of the principal consrnees Of these goods,
are Messrs. King, Hedge Co., Lexington j. v.
& T. Symonds Hobson & Morehead and w. J.
Mills, Salisbury Keeter, Bum & Co., Concord :;
Lattimer Brown, Hlsborough, and others.
Will you be good enough TO call attention to this
and also to the advertisement upon the subject Of
Fornarding published in nearly all the newspapers
along the line.
may here remark. that nearly all bills of adin z
for goods from New York, the point from which
these goods were shipped, come without the proper
charges-generally filed with the remark-'2-s
rates"
Consignees car, in q great measure. remedy this
by directing their Correspondents have the charges
made out in adranee and the bills l,ding filed when
the goods are shipped.
There 10 through carloads of goods to go for
ward in the morning, to Salisbury and vicinity that
] hope may be in good time.
The 20 Joint Cars" will ply regularly between
Wilmington and Salisbury, etc.
All that Company DO. will be done to &C.
commodate our Freighting business for the West.
Respectfully yours,

causes, prices are high, and the temptations to ex.

Public Documents.

We are under obligations to Hon. Asa Bggs for
fl set Of the Congressional Globe and Appendix for
the first session of the Thirty Congress; also,
to Hon. L. OBJ Branch, for full set Of the same
valuable work. We arc also indebted to Mr.. Branch
for large volume very handsomely printed, devot-
ed to the commercial relations Of the United States.
The information contained in this work is obviously
of great interest to commercial men.
TO Messrs. Branch, Bisgs, and Reid are we also
under obligations for seeds OF various kinds procur-
ed from the Patent Office, and sent from time to

neishbors, and have put others in the ground, and

. Di,,ribution---rae salisbury watchnan.

1t is not true, stated by the Salisbury Watch
man, that Mr.. Craige and the other Democratic
Representatives from this State voted at the last
session Of Congress to distribute the proceeds of the
public lands among the States. They voted to de-
posit the surplus revenue with the States, the act
bcirg precisely similar to that passed in 1885, and
approved by Gen. Jackson. This surplus revenue
had been drawn from the people by tariff.taxes,
North Carolina contributing in this way two or three
millions of dollars per annum; and ourRepresenta.
tives after mature consideration thought it rather
better to adopt this than to leave the surplus
in the treasury, to be squandered on extravagant
schemes and to be used to corrupt Congress and
portions of the federal government. 1t was bitter
alternative, and doubtless our Representatives SO
regarded it. As States Rights men, they are anx-
ious avoid even the appearance Of dependence on
the federal government; but in truth, there is .
wide and marked difference between deposit and
distributon, The act for which they voted provid-
cd. did that of 1885, that the money to be depos-
tied should be refunded by the States, when called
for. North Carolina received some sixteen hundred
thousand dollars under the act Of 1886; and this
sum, the greater portion Of it, constitutes her
Common School fund She would be as much bound
to refund this money, If it should be called for, as
she is pay the interest and principal of her regis
tered and coupon bonds. If the federal government
deposit its surplus money in Banks as it did in
1884, it deposit them with the States, provided
the latter will accept them.
To distribute means to ''divide"-to "bestow in
parts portons"-to ''dispesse'-to "gire in char
ity"-"Noses distributed land to the tribes of Is
rael"-"Christ distributed the loaves to his dsci.
pies" Webster's Dictionary. The difference, then
between deposit and distribution is plain and clear
Even the Editor of the Watchman doubt sees and
| understands it.

H-The returns from the late election in Rhode
Island are stated thus: "Dyer, American Republi-
cdn," so many votes against Potter, Democrat. In
the North the opposition to the Democracy is class
