NOR TIL CAROLINA.

Final Passage of the liquidation Act-Six.
teen Millions Special Tax Bonds Repu-
diated-Nine Hundred and Forty Thousand
Annual Taxation Wiped OUT.
RALEIGH March 8, 1870.
In the Senate yesterday message was received
from the House transmitting bill repeating the acts
passed last session making railroad appropriations.
This bill passed the Senate some time since, but was
amended in the House to strike out the first section,
as follows:-
Provided, that the provisions OF the bill shall apply
the Northwestern North Carolina Railroad, and
the word government the second section "and shall be
credited to the counties Of the State upon
sessed Tor the 1870 In proportion the amount be
collected from them respectively"
IL was discussed the entire morning and Mr.. Cra-
ham moved the previous question, when the bill was
concurred In. This bill repudiates all the railroad
appropriations the bonds OF which are known al
special tax bonds amounting to $4,000, ,0O0 and it
wipes out an annual taxation OF $780, 900. 1t Is be-
leved the Governor viii veto the bill out as it
passed by vote OF SO to 1t Will be easily passed
over his veto ana Will certainly become a law.
These bonds are still quoted at 231 "a In New York;
upon the ground, it Is supposed, that the holders
OF them Will endeavor to enforce their payment by
the national government. Parties In New York have
already commenced an action before the Supreme
Court OF the State to test the validity OF the action
OF the Legislature.

THE WoMAN's SUFFRAGE CONVENTION in
Boston on Thursday was the spiciest gathering
that has congregated at the Hub for the season.
On taking the chair Mrs. Julia Ward Howe
the presiding officer, said that the female suf-
frage party had been advised by those who style
themselves friends, to remain on the plane out
of reach of all political turmoil but now, like
Crockett's coon we are coming down. Lucy
Stone said that they had met to do for woman
what they had done for the negro. This is
not a republican government. The Declare
ton of Independence says that government
derives its inst powers from the consent of the
governed" One half are mere subjects, while
the other half are absolute sovereigns. God,
justice and 10000 people are on the woman's

party wanted Mr.. Phillips TO modify his talk

THE CHASE OF THE HERMAMN.-The New
York Tine, says the news of the chase of the
steam ship Hermann by French war-vessel is
corrobOrated by the accounts brought by the
ship Chancellor, which arrived at New York
early Wednesday morning from Liverpool.
Capt. Patten, her commander, informed the
Quarantine doctor, who boarded her, that when
nearing port he saw a brig-rigged steamship,
like the Hermann, veer round, and steer in a
southerly direction under full steam, and that
as long as she was visible, she continued
to hug the Jersey coast. The Quarantine au-
thorities say that the vessel seen must have
been the Hermann as she was the only brig
rugged steamer that left the port within TWEEN
ty four -hours,s she must have adopted this
unusual route in order to escape her pursuer.
Her pilot, who took her out, says she was fol-
lowed by French gun-boat, said to be the
Britomarte. Nothing has been heard since OF
the further movements of the war-vessel seen
by Capt. Judkins, near Fire Island. The
French Consul says that he has not been made
aware of the chase, but that it is only very
likely thing to have occurred, as the Germans,
he asserts, would do the same had they the
chance. Mr.. Roessing, the North German
Consul, can give no information on the subject.
as he says that he is completely in the dark as
to the movements and number of the French
vessels of war in our vicinity. He says the
trip of the Hermann was understood to be an
experiment to test chances

The CAUGHNAwAGA SHiP CANAL.-The en-.

to this city their maps and prospectus.

Political Notes.

Donnelly the dodger, has accepted NOM
ination to Congress from the Democrats OF
Minnesota, and has consented to muster them
into his party-the Donnely party. In his
acceptance he condscendingly remarked: Il
am before you at the solicition of my fellow
citizcus, and-n platform is demanded, l
plant myself on the platform OF Ignatius
DonnelIy." That is certainly the weakest
and narrowest platform that a tricky politi-
clan ever tried to balance himself on.
THE conduct of the "Morrill Republican"
who writes to the Adoertiser complaining of
the PRESS may seem strange to people who
do not know that he holds all Office by the
appointment of Gov. Chamberlain and is a
relative by marriage of Senator Morrill,.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Thursday, Col. William

THE SIAMEsE TwINs.-A question much dis
cussed some years ago has lately been settled
by the eternally quoted ''logic of facts" The
question was whether the serious illness Of one
OF the famous Siamese twins would necessarily
AFFECT the other 1t seems now that Chang has
had paralytic shock, and that the health of
Eng remains quite unaffected by it. Long ago
it was determined that the twins could not be
separated without involving the death of one
or BOTH But a prominent medical journal of
London afirms that should either die, the
ligatnre might safely be cut SO as to preserve
the life of the survivor. The twins are now
well stricken in years, and it would be almost
as anomalous as their strange union itself, if
either survived the shock of being parted from
the other.
