A Hor BATH.-A ludicrous and amusing Incl
dent recently occurred in connection with the
Gentle opposition to Mormon authority. man
coming from the West stopped at the hot springs,
Just outside of the city. and having heard much
of their medicinal properties, was about to battle
in one of them. After he had disrobed, and just
as he was about to plunge In, stranger sp.
preached and told him he could not battle in that
spring. The western Gentile's ire became aroused
at once, and thinking that it was another instance
of Mormon despotism. he Immediately replied {:
1.-THE h-n l can't I'll like to see old Brigham or
anybody stop me-" and in he plunged. but he got
out sooner than he got in, for ii was boiling
spring. His anger against the Mormons had not
permitted him to ask the stranger why he could
not battle there, but he was determined to show
Brigham that he could not stop him from bathing.

The PNEUMATIC GAs.-Our neighbors of the
Courier. Journal have been for the last three
nights illuminated by the new gas, manufactured
ON their own premises. We have watched the
process Of manufacturing this gas from its COM
mencement with great interest, and are pleased
to find that 1t is a complete success. The prin-
tiers are quite delighted with the change. They
generally agree in saying that the composing
room is twice as well lighted as by the old pro-
cess. Certainly the light is the most beautiful we
have ever seen. The company have so far COM
piled with all their promises, and we see no reason
TO doubt that the economy claimed for the gas
will be proved as fully as all the other claims Of
superior brillisncy, perfect safety, great ease of
manufacture and perfect stability Of light have
already emonstrated.-t Louisville Democrat.

The yicksburg Herald of the LIST says 1--WE
have he ard il asserted that overtures have been
made by capitalists at the North to certain OF our
citizens, with q view to the establishment OF
cotton factory in our midst. We ask Of our cit-
zens with what reception shall these overtures be
met, Shall we pass them by without action. or
shall We be prompt, as Is our imperative duty ID
taking that action which viii accomplish TINS
much desired purpose, We are informed that
these capitalists do not desire any assistance a.
the hands of our Southern people other than an
assurance of profitable patronage when they thus
attempt to compete with the looms OF the East
and Europe. We do not conceive that such an
assurance is at all necessary, yet If these CAPT.
taists feel that their investment should be at AL
secured by it, we conceive it to be the duty OF our
citizens to give them the necessary assurance.
"The advantages are 80 much IN fsvo Oh TINS
city over that Of any other point. that capitalists
should not require any guarantee. factory 81
this point would be enabled to not alone comoete
favorably with the looms of the world, ana thus,
upon the score of convenience, control this trade,
but IL would be in q condition to andersen any
other and thus control the entire trade and dc
tate its own terms to other factors. But outside
of any aid proffered from distance in the &C.
complishment of this purpose. we are satisned
that it is the duty Of our own citizens TO invest In
such an enterprise. Aside from making us, 70
that extent, more independent. 1t would tend TO
enrich us, keep the money 10 our midst which mas
heretofore in the purchase of these fabrics, gone
TO enrich foreigners; il would enable US to sell
our cotton at our own doors at better price than
we at present receive for it,"

The Agent of the Associated Press
at Raleigh tells another deliberate lie,
hs follows:
1.-THE Reporter of the new daily journal,
he Cnrolin5aH, was expelled from the hall
Jby the President, for the use of the word
/ niggeTs" in his report"
We find this in the Tribune and 9th
Pr Northern papers. The Reporter was
pot expelled for any such conduct, but
because he insulted the Convention by
report he was preparing, and told the
president the report was insulting, and
4 bat he expected to be expelled for it.
The lies of the opposition in this
} tate are "thick as leaves in Vallar.
erosa." The Agent of the Associated
ress leads in this business.

We learn from Messrs. Abbott ana
Ragland, the Committee raised on
the subject, that they have received
y letter from Maj. Gen. Canhy, dated
January 3Ist, in which he states that as
soon as the Convention shall levy tax
on property, as provided by the sth sec
ton of the act of March 23d, 1867, to
defray its expenses, and notify him OF
the fact, that he will direct the State
Treasurer to pay the expenses OF the
Convention on the warrant OF Its Fresl-
dent the taxes thus levied and collec-
ted to be paid into the State Treasury
This difficult question is AZ length
solved. The commanding General in
sists on the law of Congress. lie has
announced it as his purpose not to re-
ouire the Treasurer to pay out until the
tax is levied.

Mr. Rodman for judicial committee

policy of the State has been against divorce.
The more tenacious laws are upon that sub
ject, the better the population. The regula-
tions of other States are regarded as loose
tending, it appeared, to bastardize the issue
of marriages. There was no proof of impo-

this case But because of incompatibility
of temper. these parties call upon this Con-
vention to ignore all precedent. Because a
man and woman do not choose to live toegth-
r, divorce is to be granted here, and it is
set down upon the journal Of this Conven-
ton, in order to permit each to choose an
other partner. Why did not they apply to
| the Courts? The presumption is that, being
known too well, they knew that no advan-
tage could be gained there. Why come
here? Because the parties believe there is
less regard for law here. Upon the whole,
in order to prevent the consumption of time,
he mnved to postpone the matter indefinitely.
Put and carried.
