The Canvass for Governor.

We learn that the candidates spoke last week at Jack
sonvile, Onslow County, in accordance with appoint
ment. A friend writing from Onslow says that Mr. NC
Rae made quite an impression-among the Know 9TH
ings-but that Judge Ellis will get the full Democratic
vote of the county This view is corroborated by an
other friend from that comfy with whom we have con-
versed on the subject. He says that there may be
something less than half dozen who have
been voting the Democratic ticket who may be car
ried off by Mr.. McRae the distribution issue, but
On the other hand there will be far who have not
heretofore voted with the Democrats who will support
Judge Ellis. The Judge fully met the expectations and
wishes of his friends.
At Wilson Judge Ellis made brilliant and elective
effort occupying the two hours assigned him. Mr. Nc
Rae was laboring under fatigue and indisposion, and
closed after having spoken little over an hour. Here
the advantage was most decidedly with the Judge. AT
Weldon however, the Judge so hoarse that his ply
scian positively prohibited his speaking Mr.. McRae
made speech fully equal to his reputation but lost
votes on the Danvile connection which he could not
explain otherwise than by endorsing it. M. W. Ran
som, Esq, met Mr.. McRae, in the absence of Judge
Ellis, and made very able address

B5C Congress dourned on Monday last at six o'clock
p. m having extended the session few hours to allow
business to be satisfactorily closed up The main matter
done on Monday was that the Senate receded from all

This is the first session under the new system of
giving fixed salaries to Members and Senator'S and is
shorter than the first session of any Congress for very
many years. 1t is said that although the time since the
meeting has been less than usual the actual number of
hours spent in legislative business has been more as has
also been the amount of business transacted
Kansas has been the feature of the sesson-to that
point oqence has been devoted and attention has been
turned. The contest over the Lecompton Constitution
embtered it by the attitude which Mr.. Douglas
and his friends chose to assume babe fair at one time to
embrol the country, and dsorganize the Democratic
party. Since a peaceful solution of that diff

the revival of trade this necessity will pass away

Anew Operation In Banking.

offence at the Central Bank 10 this place, has
resorted TO q novel mode O( obtaining redress.
He has demanded the specie for checks drawn
by dealers with the Bank and payable in
Current fund.-" which have come into his
hands; and on the refusal Of the Bank TO
comply, has had the checks protested We
are not familiar with the legal enactments
touching the sutject, but presume that the
Law authorizes no proceeding 50 outrageous
and absurd An individual Gepositing eur
rent funds" 10 the Bank, draws his check
payable in the same, and the holder comes
forward and demands the specie, something
entirely different from what the check calls
for, The law provides, we believe, shat no
Bank shall issue draft not payable in spe-
Gle, but 1t cannot impose the same restrictions
upon individuals.
We are curious to know what the broker
alluded will do nov. If he sues the drawers
OF tbe checks, it is not likely that be will re.
cover, and be may SUBJECT himself to DANA

CornimtMe Mountain.

PULASKI COUNTY. Va, July 6, 1885,
Having been u cultivstor OF Indian Corn from
boyhood. and now being too old 10 toll in the
field | concluded to make observations uron
the growth of Corn. I selected my stock in
a lot of good Corn, near the house. common.
ced the experiment on Sunday, 18th June,
at o'clock, p. NJ, and at g o'clock A. NJ,
on Monday morning, found it had grown
II inches, and at 6 o'clock on Monday ever
lug it had crown II inches, making the en-
tire growth Of 81 hours inches. | continu-
ed the experiment days and found the entire
growth of the stalk during the "a bouTs Of
the suns absence to be l03 inches, and the
81 hours il which the sun was present, so
great was the help Of his power, that the
corn grew 81! inches, which makes the en.
tire growth IN days, 10 inches. The
growth supsssing my expectations, | contin-
ued the experiment another week and closed
90 Sunday evening, the 4th Of July, and
found by my second weeks observation on
the growth of the stalk. that il grew 43 inch
es, and during the II days observation, there
was not more than one inch difference IN the
growth OF 81 hours. Ia conclusion, | would
say that il ever saw Ii better days for Corn
to grow, it has escaped my recollection. As
to other circumstances they were ordinary.
The ground was good, old river bottom, rich,
though not fresh maDured, the stock the best
in the hill, two others growing with it; plow
ed three times and nothing more done to it.
This notice is intended to induce some per-
son TO make a more perfect effort to let the
farmers know the greatest possible growtn Of
