A New Telegraph system.

The New York Herald of Saturday con-
tains communication from Mr.. d. II. Craig,
formely general agent of the New York As
sociated Press, reporting the progress made
within the last six or eight months in the de
velopment of the Little system of fast tele-
graphy." He states that the line between
New York and Washington "has been com
pleted and is now in perfect order, but has
not yet been opened to the public" From
tests recently made, he says, it is ascertained
that "a 900 words per hour can betransmitted
over single wire from Washington to New
York, which is equal to the average of more
than thirty soires by the Morse system of tele-
graphy,. Mr.. Craig adds:
The Western Union Company transmits
daily to and from New York to the whole
of the Associated Press about an average of
fifteen thousand words-say, seven thousand
West, five thousand East and three thous-
and Southland receives for this service
about 100000, or, say three cents per word.
With our new system. of automatic tele-
graphy in successful operation the press of
the whole country will be able to receive
daily reports, regardless of the number OF
words, at less than half the present expense
for short and unsatisfactory news reports,
and in less than one-forth of the time now
employed by the Morse lines. A superior
class of compound telegraph lines will be
Immediately constructed to all pats of the
country, and complete revolution in tele-
graphy and in the postal business of this
country must inevitably follow.

TENDER. preximo. Is :'efarp me. I must beg
rave, respectfully. to decline the appoint
,n,nl. had heard, during the last term of
the Supreme Court, that my Associate JUS
tees and many members of the bar had
urgel sou to make the appointment. My
first impression was t, decline; but, it WAS
said, the profession bud right tn claim of
me, ss the last labor of life devoted to the
law, as science, to reduce the Code of Civil
Procedure to method, and adapt it to the
usages Of our bar, and to the habits of our
people. After conference with the other
two members of the Code Commission, l
found our views Of the duty, imposed by the
Constitution and laws SO widely different
as to despair Of being able to reconcile them.
+ i am fully convinced that the idea OF re-
ducing ,'the common law" or the lea non
scripta. US it is termed. into the form OF sta
tute law is impracticable, and the attempt,
besides the expense, will be worse than use
less. The mode of practice, pleading and
procedure may be reduced to Code, and
MANY improvements be made upon the old
motlc-as the Justices of the Supreme Court
have, in several cases, taken occasion to re-
mark-but, In regard to the unwritteh prin-
ciples of law and equity, to be met with in
the books of Reports, and to be developed as
the result of learning anil reflection, called
up to fit new conditions which arise; the
idea of reducing them to code of statutes,
or written law, SO as to make "a system" is
an impossibility. My idea was, that the
constitution would be complied with, by
code of civil and criminal procedure; and
by code based on the common law which
should bring forward such provisions OF the
Revised Code" as have not been superseded
by the change in the relations of master and
slave, and Of free negroes, and such other
prTisiohs as havejbeen since ordained by
the Convention and enacted by the General
Assembly. The two remaining gentlemen, of
the Code Commission, not concurring in
this view of the duties of the position, I
made up my mind to have nothing to do
with it, outside Of my duty, as one of the
Justices of the Supreme Court, in putting
construction upon what has been aud may
hereafter be done.
Accept my thanks for the high honor
conferred by rendering me the appointment
and be assured of my high regard, &c. &C.

ANOTHER GAME OF "BRAGG. Mary
Bragg, COL, sued out warrant against
Charlie johnson, col, to hold him to the
peace" and the case came up before Squire
Whitakers' court yesterday. Mary's evidence
run smooth-and her tongue "like light
ming" Unruly chickens seemed to be the
matter of offence between the neighbors. A
motherly old colored lady, in whose counte-
nance truth and honesty held dominance,
testified that the abuse between Mary and
Charlie seemed mutual, and that Charlie did
not make any rash threats, for she heard
the whole of the quarrel" Mary rising to n
point of order, again opened her mouth and
proclaimed before his Worship that the moth
erly old lady had told story; whereupon,
the Squire reprimanded Mary, and told her
be would, if she could not control her tongue,
control her person by sending her to the
lock up for contempt. Mary somewhat
"wited" thercat, and feigned a tear or
tvo-the Squire desisted from his purpose
to imprison her for contempt, and awarded
each the privilege of paying the County So,
and dividing the cost
A righteous verdict, as all the malice
seemed to be confined to Mary, and the un-
gallant conduct of Charlie i'll quarrelliDg
with lady about chickens, deserved re-

Death of Hon. A. II. Galloway.

telegram from Wilmington announces the
death Of this great man. We say great, although
he grew up among, and was identified with
lowly people. Perhaps his greatness appeared
the more conspicuous on this account. There
are few men living who could have attained the
prominence that he did amid the disadvantages
with which he had to contend. His mind was
ope of that class which must be trained in youth
to fully exhibit its super-e1celent qualities;
too active, too grasping, too far-reachiDg. to be
brought down to rudimental study after man
hood is reached. Mr.. Galloway did not enjoy
the advantages of this early tIaining. Slavery,
that foul institution, which has murdered so
many bright intellects, deprived lin Of this
birthright. This will account for the lack Of
system in his address; his naturally gigantic
mind far outleaped the bounds of its culture;
he would not conceal good idea because he
had not the ornament of beautiful language with
which to embellish it. Had he enjoyed the ad-
vantage of an early education, he would have ex-
hibited one of the brightest intellects that North
Carolina ever produced. BE escaped from slavery
some time before the war returned to his ma
tive State in 1862 or 1868, was employed by Gen.
Virginia and North CarolhS, in the secret ser
vice; in this capacity he acquitted himself so
well as to possess the fullest confidence
of the commanding General. In 1854 lie
was elected q Delegate to a National Con-
vention of colored men that assembled In
Syracuse, N. Y. This convention resolved itself
into National Equal Rights League; when he
returned and commenced the work Of organizing
the coored people this State under its auspices.
In 1867 he was elected member OF the Constitu-
tional Convention, and in 1868 was elected to the
State Senate, and in both bodies acquitted him
as a ready debater, a bold and fearless advocate.
of whatever measures he thought proper to sup
port. Notwithstanding the divisions in the Be
publican party in New Hanover and Brunswick
Counties, which caused the defeat of SO man
Republican candidates, he succeeded in carryiu
the full strength of all the factions, and was trf
umphantly reelected to the State Senate at the
last election. He possessed great moral courage,
and seldom knew what it was to fail in any under.
taking. He was impetuous to degree ofrashness.
This known Characteristic being taken advantage
Of, few months ago he barely escaped assassi-
nation at the hands of political opponents. He
was man of strong passions and would sacri-
fee almost everything to accommodate friend.
Like other mortals he had his faults, but they
were mostly to himself; oUer these let as cast lhe
broad mantle Of charity. He leaves an Affection
ate wife and two children, with q eonhding con-
stituency, to mourn his loss.
