THE WESTERN EXTENSION AND THE
REVENUE LAW.

1t is said that the Democratic party must be re-
sponsble for two very dissimilar and opposite
things: The failure to remove certain restrictions
from the charter of the Western North Carolina
Railroad, this being charged a sin of omission,
and the enactment ola Revenue Law calculated to
raise some six to seven hundred thousand dollars,
this being charged as sin of commission. As for
the first, the Democracy of the East can hardly be
blamed for not sustaining any of the Western pro-
jccts, since none of these projects received the
united support of the Western men themselves.
They were much divided on the merits of their
own projects as men from the East or Centre could
be. 1t was hardly to be expected-it hardly could
be expected-that the rest of the State should
force upon them something over which they them
selves could not agree. 1t was thought by all that
the charter granted to the Western Extension in
1854 was a most liberal one. 1t was felt by many
that it pledged the State to an undue amount of
money. During the last canvass the charges up
on this debt were rung by the Opposition at the
East and in the Centre. Mr. MeRae, the candi-
date for Governor, supported by the Opposition,
stated emphaticaly in the hearing of large au-
dienee at Clinton, that if elected he would not re-
commend one measure that would add one dollar to
the indebtedness or responsibility of the State
WE'LL the Legislature meets. 1t does just about
as we'll any Legislature could do under all the
circumstances 1t does not actually force an
amendment to the charter of the Western North
Carolina Railroad Company, in face of the inabi-
ty of the peculiar friends of that work to agree
among themselves. 1t does not, in face of the al
ready existing necessity for high taxes go far out
of its way to make that necessity greater or more
Immediate and for this the Democratic party is to
be attacked by those who rang the changes upon
the very debt for refusing Immediately to increase
or precipitate which, they now find fault with the
Democracy. 1t would be hard, indeed, to demand
of the Democracy of the State to decide what the
peculiar friends of the Western Extension had
themselves failed to agree upon.
But the Revenue Law involves a vast response
bility-it has been denounced as ubiquitous, ETC.
Now, this is all CANNON. The Revenue Law is
not perfect What is perfect? But it is about
the best We have yet had All, nearly all, its
changes from former laws have been steps in the
right direction. What better could have been
done? As for the amount, the only question must
be-is that amount necessary to maintain the hon.
or and support the credit fthe State ? Such was
the belief of the Financial Committee, and of the
Legislature, and the responsibility of acting upon
that belief is one from which no Legislature of
North Carolina viii ever shrink Wilmington

UGLY PRAcTIcE.-Thc Lynchburg ladies in
common with those of almost every city in the
Union, complain greatly of the young who
congreSate around church doors, about the time
congregations dismissed, staring them either
out of countenancc, out of the practice of gently
raising their skilts, which many of them are COM
PEELED to adopt to prevent contact with the dust
and dirt The Republican has the names of some
of the gazers, but thinks gentle hint will be all
sufficient, and therefore suppresses their publication
for the present.
Gentlemen and boys who have no ladies in charge
should not stand round the church door after SER
vice. They probably mean Ito harm by it, but it
looks bad.

WINDING UP'-From the following which we
find floating around loose, it would seem that the
business of this little terrestrial concern on which
We live and vegctate, is to be would up soon
A recent issue of the North British Review dis
coursing on the doom of the world, has some re-
marks which, to a person easily excited on the
subject, would be apt to create the impression
that the destruction of the earth is not so far dis
tant as some have supposed. What this change is
to be (says the writer to whom we have referred,
We dare not even conjecture, but we sec, in the
heavens themselves traces of destructive
elements and some indications of their power,
the fragments of broken planets the descent of
meteorc stones upon our globe-the whirng
comets welding their loose material at the solar
surface-the volcanic eruptons in our own satellite
the appearance of new stars and disappearance
of others, all foresEadows of that impending
CONFUSION to which the system of the world is
doomed. Thus placed planet which is to
be burned up, and under heavens which are to
pass away; thus residing it were the cemeteries
and dwelling upon the mausoleums of former
worlds, let us learn the lesson of humility and
wisdom, if we have not already been taught in the
school of revelation.

THE LAST ROMANCE,

Quite romance in real life, says the Detroit
Advertiser, was brought to happy termination in
that city on the 9th ut. Seventeen years ago, a
New York lass, lovely and sweet sixteen, became
enamored Of medical student, and the pair ex-
changed vows Of love and eternal fidelity Two
years later the unaedged Esculapius left for
Europe to complete his education the aforesaid
VOWS having been previously tenderly renewed.
After a brief and gay sojourn at Paris the loving
student domicied himself in one of the most re-
nowned colleges of Madrid and applied himself to
sober study His letters the fair damsel he low
ed were frequent, but no fond remembranccs came
in reply.
His epistles were intercepted and never reach
ed the fair one, while her words of love, intended
for his dedication, met with the same misfortune
The poor student, thwarted in his love, threw up
his studies and for two long years coursed through
Europe, seeking to whelm his disappointment in
the gayeties and pleasures of the different capt.
tails. In the meantime the young lady, who was
equally unhappy, removed to Detroit with her
mother AT the end of his two years pilgrimage,
the student returned to America, but the idol of
his heart had left the scene of her bctrothal, and
almost broken-heartcd, he turned his steps to
Cuba; but the spirit of unrest pursued him, and
Texas and Mexico beheld him still rover, seeking
to drown memory by excitement.
few mouths since, by one of those singular
occurrences which sometimes fash across the
pathway of life, he heard that the lady was in
Michigan, and quickly he wendell his way thither
After few weeks of dligent search, the anxious
lover found his Dulcinia at Ypsilanti, and the
meeting which ensued-the twain having been
separated fifteen years-s described as affecting
in. the extreme" The tribulations of the now
mature lovers were over, and on the 9th inst they
proceeded to Detroit, and were united in the
holy bonds of wedlock. Who says this is a pro-
sale age?
