THE TRIAL OF BAKER.

The National Intelligencer, speaking of the
trial of Head Detective Baker, which is now
taking place in Washington, says, the self
respect of the people of the United States has,
in nothing, among all the exactions and OPP
pressions Of the times, been so much nsulted
as by the existence, with secret and unknown
powers, of vast ramifcation of detectives
throughout the country in time Of peace. But
in the District of Columbia, where the central
bureau was located, under the unconscionable
presidency of the once fearful ami now despi-
cable Baker, the remembrance on the part of
our citizens of the numberless expressions and
indignities inflicted upon them by this person
is peculiarly poignant. The patron and en-
ployer of this man, having no longer power to
protect him from the responsibility which
other malefactors incur to the law of the land,
he is now on trial in the Criminal Court of the
District of Columbia. This trial is trial of
the public sense of liberty and personal sane
tity. It's gratifying to find that the able Dis
trict Attorney is aided by a gentleman of the
ability and the dignity of character of Judge
Hughes, who, in the progress of this prosecu-
ton, has exhibited becoming zeal for the
vindication of the law, and the American dis
gust of professional treachery.

THE CENTRAL MARSH, ONCE
MORE

We again invite the attention of the public
and our city authorities to our great rontine
marsh. 1t is a prominent deformity on the
fair bosom of the city, and one that cries
aloud for removal. We have taken pains to
show that this nuisance can be abated in such
a way as to add to the wealth of our people,
instead of taking from it.
Will not our councilmen condescend to take
early action in the matter They might
make themselves immortal by changing these
unsightly acres into sort Of beautiful Boule-
ward. A handsome street, tasteful grounds,
and graceful buildings might soon be made to
deck what is now filthy looking and lin
summer) vilely smelling area.
What has become of our public spirited
men-our Halls, and Mallory's, and Denbys
Are there none capable and ready to wear
their shoes-to urge on the wheel of improve
ment for our common good Has the war
swallowed up every thing like enterprise and
left our dear old " Borough" like stranded
ship2
We hope not. We trust there are some
left among the Councilmen who are willing to
spend and be spent in the good cause. The
members who will father the scheme of filing
up the central marsh in such way as to
prove both ornamental and profitable, will be
cassed among the good and sagacious men
of the day, and a new public square or
thoroughfare,., would stand as permanent
monument of their forcthought.

From washington.

Washington, Jan. 2s-The President to-day
stated to distinguished Senator that the
agitation of the negro franchise question in
the District of Columbia at this time. was the
mere entering wedge to the agitation of the
question throughout the States-was il-timed,
uncalled for, and calculated to do great harm
He believed that it would engender enmity and
strife between the two races which would re-
suit in great injury to both, and the certain
determination of the negro population; pre-
cedent, he thought, should be given to more
important and urgent matters, Legislation upon
which, was essential for the restoration of the
Union, the peace of the country, and the
prosperity of the people.
The above is strictly true

Terrible Death OF Prominent staff
Officer.

Death in any shape is terrible enough to
blanch the cheek of even those who stand
ready to meet it at the call of duty, and when
it suddenly summons men in their full enioy-
ment of perfect health through unfamiliar
agencies, the shock is intensified. Our own
community, particularly, the military circles
was thrilled on Saturday by the news of the
death of Col. c. A. Morgan, widely known as
the Inspector General of Gen. Popes Depart
lnent of the Missouri. In the enjoyment of
perfect health, he retired to his room, in Gen.
Pope's residence, on Chouteau avenue, on FRI
day night, and no one in the household even
suspected that anything had gone wrong with
him until in the morning, when his unusual
absence from the breakfast table was remarked,
and General Pope went to his room and get
ting no response, on opening the door, found
to his utter astonishment and disnay, that the
Colonel was dead, asphyxiated by the escape
of gas from a stove in his room constructed to
burn coal gas. A physician was Immediately
sent for, and, on his arrival, pronounced that
death must have ensued at least two hours pre-
viously.
The body of Colonel Morgan was sent yes
terday to Cincinnati, where his relatives reside
-EGchange.

SPEED THE WORK.

The Legislature has very properly decided
to continue its session for Che full period of
ninety days. There is much work to be done,
and the ninety days will be found running
out very rapidly.
Grid yourselves, then, gentlemen for your
duty Do not procrastinate business till the
eleventh hour of the session Take time by
the forelock, and whatever can be done now
do at once There is nothing like taking up
the docket with will, and finishing business
early.
We have often been mortified at the dis
graceful scenes which have occurred in Con-
gress, at times, on the close of the short ses-
sion, owing to the erowding of unfinished
business. Important matters have been crudely
acted upon in the midst of clatter and haste
and ill-disposed men have killed off whole
some laws by clogging the wheels of legisla-
ton with wil(ul delays. Drunken voices have
vociferated against action, until many a good
cause has been surrendered in despair and
the mallet of the Speaker has proved power
less to enforce the proper conduct of business

After the occupation of chihuahua by the

Other preparations to resist the enemy with
every chance of success When the French

A WORD TO OUR MERCHANTS

The loss on the coast of the Carolinas, du-
ring the present winter, of five large and valu-
able coasting steamships, must awaken the
owners of produce in the interior, to the dan
gers they have to encounter in shipping by
the way of Wilmington and New Berne.
The New York Underwriters, who have
lost not less than two million of dollars by the
disasters named, must abandon their present
low rates of insurance, which is about FIVE
eighths per cent, and will assuredly have to
return to the old figures charged some years
ago-say from three to three and a-half per
cent, from the ports above named.
The effect of these losses, and the increased
rate of insurance, must be to turn the produc-
tons of North Carolina towards the port of
Norfolk as their natural and safe route to
the sea.
1t is only necessary, therefore, that proper
exertions be put forth by our merchants to Sc
cure very large additional trade.
The Albemare and Chesapeake Canal is now
open for trads--the Dismal Swamp Canal and
the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad will soon
be completed.
With these three great lines of cheap transit,
reaching to the very heart of Eastern North
Carolina, and the security and speed which
the route from Norfolk to the Northern ports
and to Europe offers, we cannot fail, at an
early day, to secure very large proportion of
the valuable products of that region
