A PROPOSITION.

If sufficient encouragement is extended We pro-
pose to issue the Democrat semi weekly, commence
ing about the lst of July, soon thereafter as
possible. The terms will be S. in advance to be
paid when the first number is issued. Those who
are willing to subscribe for 4 semi-weekly paper
in Charlotte can leave their names at this Office or
at Mr. Lowre's Book Store.
For the past six months we have been consider
ing the propriety Of making this proposition at the
request of some of our mercantile friends as they
seem to think the undertaking will pay, as it will
most assuredly be great convenience to the citi-
zens of the town and surrounding country. We
confess to a good deal of miSgvng as to the paying
part of the enterprise (thcre not being enough of
local patronage advertising, &C. in a town of this
size,) but willing to try it if anything like suf-
fcient encouragement: is aforded-not without
We contemplate improving our weekly paper by
charging the columns, &C., Gin accordance with
the plan we had in view when we bought new type
and have already ordered materials for that pur-
pose. We have not and will not spare expense or
trouble to make the "Dcmocrat first class news
paper, relying a generous public for reimburse
ment by share OF patronage.

THE PRESIDENTS VETO

We publish to-day the Message of the President
giving his reasons for vetong the bill donating
millions Of acres of the Public Lands for agricul-
tural colleges. We hope all will read the docu-
ment and inform themselves on the subject, as an
effort may be made in the approaching campaigns
to prejudice the minds of the people against those
who opposed the granting and reception of the pro-
perty of the General Government for such pur-
poses. 1t will be seen that the measure is unfair
in principle and practice; that it will have ten
dency, mainly, to benefit the Northern and north
western States. 1t would benefit n York four five
times as much as North Carolina-Ohio and Penn
sylvania 3 or times as much, and so on. The
free States would get the lions share, while the
slave States would be made to pay for it by in
creased taxation.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, March, 4, 1S59.-At o'clock
this morning. the Senate got through with all bust
ness, and were awaiting response from the House
Committee of Conference on Miscellaneous and
Post Office Appropriation Bills.
At o'clock. the Miscellaneous Committee came
in, requiring the Senate to recede from its amend
ments, which was done. The House claimed that
the clause in the postal bill to raise rates. was
revenue measure, and hence could not originate in
the Senate. The Senate refused to waive its priv
ilege and thereupon the Committee of Conference
agreed to lay aside both bills. and originate
one in the House. This was done, but on its COM
ing into the Senate, Messrs. Pierce, Yulee and
Toombs opposed it as an infringement of the Con-
stitutional rights of the Senate; and Mr. Toombs
also obecting to its second reading, it was lost.
All the general appropriation bills became laws,
except the above.
The Post Route Bill failed, but the failure will
create slight public Inconvenience
The Miscellaneous Appropriation bill contains
section extending the treasury note law two years.
which will enable the department to redeem $780,
900, 900 falling due in July; also about S45O,OO0
for the Coast Survey.
The question abolishing the franking privilege
and increasing the rates Of postage, was emphati-
cally rejected by the House.
The Mail Steamer Bill was also defeated in the
House, but there attached to the Indian APP
preparation Bill appropriation Of about S25 900
for the present Panama and Tchuantepec mail con-
tracts, which expire on the Both of September

a2y~ The effects of aboltionsm, and the doc
trne of Negro equality as it is taught, preached
and spoken at the North, are beginning to develop
their fruit in 'shorrible alliances" at shocking
to the finer feelings of humanity, and disgraceful
to Christian people. Another case of ANAL CANA
ton has recently transpired at the town of Mon
trose, Penn. The victim was a white girl of re-
spectacle family, aged IS, and the groom black
negro They were married clandestinely, by a
white magistrate of Kirkwood, n. Y, and were
subsequently arrested with their assistants by the
girls father, on charge of conspiracy. 1t would

mania ought certainly to produce cure. OK

THREE MEN POISONED.

In Bennettsville, S, c., on the oath ult., three
white men, named John Graham, Annanias Ora
ham, and John McCollum, were poisoned by drink
ing whiskey with strychnine in it. The whiskey
was drank in the store of John c. Terrell, who has
been arrested and lodged in Jail charged with hav-
ing prepared the poison for his victims. The two
Grahams were relatives of Terrel-McCo was
clerk in the store. All three died in few hours.
The coroners jury rendered verdict that the de-
ceased came to their death by drinking strychnine
in whskcy administered by John c. Terrell, the
proprietor of the grocery.
The Charleston Mercury furnishes the following
further particulars:
ave learn that Mr. Terrell is a grandson of the
elder Graham; that he has previously borne good
character, and was respected in that community.
The attending circumstances are thus stated:
Mr. Terrell had procured a large stock of goods
by the false endorsement of the names of his
grandfather and uncle upon his paper The pa
per had been sent from bank in this city to their
agent in Bennettsville who had communicated
with Dir Graham, senior, upon the subject Mr.
Graham denied all knowledge of the paper, and
visited his grandson, company with his son. for the
purpose of demonstrating with him. What transpr-
ed at that meeting not fully known BUTT does not
appear that any alteration ensued AS Messrs.
Graham about leaving, Mr.. Terrell directed
his clerk, Mr. McCollum, to go to certain shelf in
the store and bring bottle of excellent whisky.
This was done, and Messrs. Graham partook of it,
and soon died, correspondent relates. The
clerk, Mr.. McCollum, took private drink he
returned the bottle to its shelf and thus fell vic
tim. Mr. Terrell denies all knowledge of the poi
son, and AYERS that he in his life purchased
any But unfortunately for the truth of this state
me"t, the books of an apothecary in Bennetsville
show charge against him for strychnine and arse
mic, furnished SIX months ago.

not to trust preachers any further than other we'll
behaved and neatly-dressed Individuals a little
town in New York was awfully excited the other
day by discovering that their clergyman had clopcd
with Miss Kate, daughter of somebody, and got
married. The clergyman is said to be young
man "of preposscssing appearance" qualification
which generally ''takcs' with the ladies. The at
fair amounts to but little after all as the fellow had
no other wife, and certainly preacher deserves

felt ourself transported to Nichols, in Columbia
