A RESOLUTION was Offered in the North
Carolina House of Representatives 4 few
days ago, requesting the delegation in
Congress 10 use their influence in favor of
general amnesty and repeal of the test
oath, and received ninety affirmative 60
thirteen negative votes. of the thirt, en-
nays ten were negIOes Many Radicals,
however, voted for the resolution. One
of this party said in debate that he was
willing to endorse the Individual applica-
ton of Zeb. Vance, Joe Turner or the
devil, to which Mr.. Jones, Democrat,
replied that the 'devil had certainly been
under no disabilities in North Carolina for
the last two years. He was in nearly
every office. and his clOven foot could be
seen in almost every act done by the party

THE LAND-GRABnrNG SON EMEs
I'm CONGRESS-.


Congress has not been in session three
weeks, but the land grabbers are working
like beavers to secure large slices of the
public lands. The people have no idea
how the government is being plundered
by the present Congress for the benefit of
these sharpers. There are already on the
table of the Speaker of the House of Re
representatives. twenty six land-grabbiDg
bills and joint resolutions. In the Senate
thirty-two measures of similar character
are pending, and all but five Of these pro-
posed grants are for the benefit of railroad
companies. Considering The recklessness
displayed by Congress during the last ses-
sion in lsyishing the public lands upon
railroad speculatOrs, there is little reason
TO hope that it will recognize its duty ST
The present session. Hon. George w.
Julian, Chairman of The Committee on
Public Lands of the House of Repre-
sentatiyes, has an estimate of the amount
of public lands demanded by subsidy job
bers of the present Congress in the prin-
cipal bills that have passed or are now
pending. The facts are astounding.
Here they are:

REFERRING TO the scquittal of one of

Col. Ames, the well-known circus pro-
prietor, the Dawson (GA) Journal says:
''Col. Anes expressed a wish on his

should not be prosecuted, hence the State
was represented by Solicitor-Genersl
Parker alone, who conducted the case
in such a manner as TO lead us to belle re
