belief that the Governors call for tn q
: meeting published in the Standard. was
: only hoax, and that he didn't intend to
q have q meeting, no how.
LIZ IS our private opinion that owing to
L the snow on Wednesday morni ,g, many
: of the members of the Committee failed to
: leave home Tuesday time enough to oet
here; and that others, expecting to eat salt
hsh next week, drank too much water in
the morning, and were consequently de-
, tanned from the meeting though present in
the city.-Ral. Sentinel.
CARPET-BAG INFLUENCE.-On Tuesday
last the House of Commons, by a vote Of
56 to so, passed the Senate bill, repeaIino
the railroad appropriations of the last
session. On Tuesday night Senator Sweet
} returned to the city, after an absence o.
three weeks. a few carpet-baggers put
their heads together, Senator Abbott was
telegraphed to, who replied to them that
Lttleteid would be in Raleigh, not e'to-
night, as heretofore, but on Saturday
night next
On this being promulgated TO the House
yesterday, motion was made to reconsid-
er the vote by which the repealinr act was
passed on Tuesday. The motive for this
movement IS said to be that Sweet will lose
TAT contract Oh the ". n. @. Railroad if
this repeating act shall be ratified and be-
come law.
Verify the carpet-baggers have strength
anu influence IN HOl0ens administration
yet, and they exercise them when you be-
gin to interfere with their pockets. IF
Pike would have held his peace we have
no doubt he won have been reimbursed
IN some way for loss Of the public printing,
but he spoiled his chances by kicking uD
too soon.-Raleigb Sentinel
