The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune, says:
The election in North Carolina took place on
the lst Of August. The Vanderbilt, steamer not
now engaged IN the Washington trade. was brought
here under temporary co nmsndsr for SPECIAL
ser,is. The berths and best furniture were re-
moved, aud o contract made for a trip to Norfolk
and return. with ~ many passengers" NJ could be
slowed away. Five hundred dollars were pa,i
down in grsenbacks by colored man for the
round trip, who was put forward to make the bar
gam aud conceal his employers. Between 800 and
GOO-some say 7O0 : men composed the party. Not
woman was Of the crowd. The Vanderbilt left
Washington on the evening of the 9th of July,
four days before the election III North Carolina,
and returned here on the morning of the 4th OF
August, three days after that election; the voyage
thus consumed 7hdays. Cotemporaneousy with
this incident large numbers Of negroes employed
by contractors Of the Board of Public Works mys-
teriously disappeared. and reappeared when tho
Vanderbilt returned. A poor attempt has been
made to explain this migration OF repeaters by
calling it religious excursion!" That thin dis.
guise has deceived nobody. Whoever heard of a
negro "excursiOn." religious or eial. extending

Tho Relief.

Nearly two months of the session OF the
I legislature has passed, and nothing mas yet
been accomplished that the people OF the
State could not have done as well WITHOUT.
Nearly the whole time has been consumed III
to undo what was done by lts
predecessor. Everything quails before the
presence Of the funding Dill
and what to do with the public debt OF the
Commonwealth. Since our last paper there
has been q majority and minority report
submitted from the Joint Committee on
Finance, q synopsis of each Of which VIII DC
found in another column. To say that neither
meets the necessities of the occasion, nor 1ul-
fills the expectations of those who were ahA-
iously awaiting some solution OF the oinlculC
problcm, is merely to express rulsm patent
to all who will read them. Objectionable aS
we consider some features Of the original
funding bill, from the bungling manner IN
which 4, is ATTEMPTED TO remedy 1t we begin
70 suspect that after oil it was perhaps as
GOOD as could have been done under the CIR
cumstauccs, and certainly preferable to either
plan proposed by the committee. =
The truth is, we do not see how the main
feature of that bilI---that one which makes
the coupons receivable for public dues-is to
be avoided. One court has already decided
4, its favor, and the proba bility is that it
will be sustained in the higher courts If SO,
there is no other alternative than for the
present Legislature to make provision for it.
Had this been done IN The first Instance, fol.
lowed by speedy adjournment, IT would
have been more satisfactory and more proht-
able to the mass of the people than tbs IN
terminable wrangling over foregone con-
clusion.-Leesburg Mirror.

about the best course to pursue to subdue
the grass and put his field in good order he
strn1cd over to the field of his neighbor to

how in the name of common sense do they

a sign that in New York poor men count for
