SPECIAL NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS AND
OTHERS

The claims which THE DAILY EXCHANGE makes upon
the attention Of the mercantile business community
are simply based upon those principles Of mutual benefit
which every intelligent man can understand for they are
such as undere success in all in ustia and commerce
enterprises lfit can be shown that THE EXCHANGE
anadmrable medium for Advertising and that in point of
circulation it will not only bear comparison with that of any
other commercial paper in this city but that this circua
tion is dGused wider its merits as means of
direct communication with the merchants Of other States
Will doubtless elicit that attention which shrewd and saga
cous men are accustomed to give matters that
'her dlVidual interests. What, then the facts We
need not refer to the large city circulation Of TIE EN-
CHANGE for that speaks for ITSELF Its success in this re-
spect is, in point OF time, without parallel What we
propose is to make frank statement OF its country ccuIa
tion because the larger proportion trade of this city
derived from the interior The extent which that circ
aton has reached may be gathered from the following par
culars, which give the States which it is sent and the
number OF post offices which received and distrbut-
ed careful collation. CT mail books shows that THE
EACHANGEis regularly mailed to sir hundred and t,oelue
post offices scattered through the various States and Terri
tories of the Cnion and that the great bulk this country
circulation is in those States upon which the merchants of
Baltimore must chiefly rely for the increase and perpetual
ton Of their trade In MARYLAND alone THE EXCHANGE
is mailed to tco hundred and y,co post Offices which is
larger circulation in the counties of cur own State than is
enjoyed by any other commercial paper in this city,

MR. PENNINGTON,

We confess to having entertained somewhat
hind sent ment towards Mr. Pennington-a DISPOSE
ton to be to his faults little blind and to his
virtues very kind. But the manner in which he
has thrown himself into the arms of the Black
Republieans-hs perfect submission to their will
in every rcspect-has entirely changed this sent-
ment. He is either as bad the worst Of them,
or he shows himself to be mere cats paw in their
hands, ard therefore most unworthy of the place
he fills 1t is plain that he has organized the COM
mttees altogether under Black Republicans dicta-
ton He has placed prominently the most Of
fensiye of that abominabe party-Sherman and
Grow and Hickman. Especially may it be consid-
cred that the placing of Hickman chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, was direct insult 60 the
South Mr. Pennngton's peculiar friends claimed
that he was conservative Old Line Wing. A
man occupying that relation to parties and filling
the chair of the House, should have given some
proof of his conservatism-some evidence Of his
desire to calm the excitement of the times-by
putting forward, in stations of honor and control
over the business of the House, men who at least
were not grossly obnoxious to the Southern people.
He has done the very opposite of this, and there
fore consider that it would have been better
had John Sherman been elected Speaker. He
could not have done worse, and We would not have
expected anything better.
And vet there was DISPATCHED from Washington
on the day the committees were announced, a
Geographic message to the press everywhere, stat
ing that the constitution of the committees OF the
House "cave decided dissatisfaction to a large
proportion OF the Republicans" This, of course,
was mere ruse to offset the indignation likely to
be caused at the South. 1t is the old device of
the cheating trader who fegns dissatisfaction with
bargain in which he has swindled most grossly
the other party to the trade.-Rich. Dispatch.

The death OF Senator Broderick was announced
in the Senate and House on the 18th. In the Sc
nate Messrs Crittenden, Seward and Haun deiv-
cred eulogies on the character of the deceased Mr.
Foster said Broderick fell in duel which was
crime both by the laws ofGod and man, and there
fore he could join in no public tribute to his mem
DRY Mr. Toombs replied that man could die in
no more glorious cause than in the defence of his
honor. After the adoption of the customary reso-
buttons, the Senate adjourned
In the Senate, OH the 14th the Hon. John p
Hale, of New Hampshire, delivered a speech in
regard to the Harpers Ferry invasion, in the
of which he remarked that a negro in New Hamp-
shire, could 60 to the ballot-box and vote the same
he did; that the testimony of negro in court
was of as much weight as his; and declared that
he had all the rights and privileges of the white
man of the North, and said he hoped they would
always have them 81
On the 18th, various bills were introduced into
the House and referred to committees among them
the French Spoliation bill, which has been before
Congress for number of years past; bill for the
prevention of polygamy in Utah; pill for the ad
mission of Kansas as State, and bill for the
alteration Of the Tariff Also a bill for the acqui
stion of Cuba 1.-THE population of Kansas is

Messrs Garnett and Pryor, of Va, who were APP
pointed of the unimportant standing COM
mittees by Pennington, declined to serve.
On the 18th, about 200 bills were introduced
into the House and referred to committees.

TIE DANvILLE CoNNECTIoN.-The Virginia
Legislature has passed by large majorties in both
Houses, bill authorising a subscription of $780,
900 to the railroad from Danville, Va, to German
ton, \. c. This route, (through the Rockingham
coal and iron rcgion) is 80 miles, and then 80 miles
more, from High Point to Germanton, will COM
plcte the much talked of Danville Connection.
The Winston Sentinel says: "This amount add
cd to the capital stock already subscribed by the
citizens of Rockingham and Stokes, and that prom
ised by the city of Richmond, makes in all an
amount of between eight and ten hundred thous-
and dollars, something over half the entire sum
which it is believed will be required to complete

E4F" In view of the fact that the whole demo
cratic party in Congress worked and voted to de-
feat the Black Republicans, we are really surprised
to hear our opposition friends assert that "the De-
mocratic and Republican parties are alike unfit to
manage the affairs OF the nation" We say We are
surprised to hear such declaration as this COM
ing from any portion of the opposition party of
North Carolina. As a matter Of course we expect
them to oppose the democratic party but facts and
circumstances will not sustain the nsinuation that
the democratic party is no better than the black
republican party. Look at the contest in the
House for Speakcr-see how the national demo-
cratic members North and South, exerted them
selves to prevent the election of black republican
Speaker. See how they rallied to a southern op-
position man, Mr. Smith of this State, in order to
put down the enemies of the South. Even north
ern democrats, who are abused by North Carolina
opposition papers being no better than free
sellers, not only voted for Il southern democrat. but
actually voted for a southern oppositioniSf for
Speaker. patriotic, national sentiment-a de-
sire to respect the rights of the Souh-promptcd
them to such course notwithstanding thev are
almost constantly slandered by the party of the
gentleman ior whom they voted, as being no better
than black republicans. 1t is bad enough for
southern men to abuse those northern democrats
who have voted to sustain our section, but to saw
that the democratic party as unfit to manage the
affairs of the nation as the black republican party,
is declaration not sustained by the record Inv
recent occurrences especially nor by the trutb Of
history. And furthermore, We believe that such
declaration will not be endorsed by large nor
