THE LEGISLATURE.

The General Assembly of North
Carolina met at the State Capital
last Monday. Up to this time but
little has been done beyond its or
ganization which has been complet~
ed bv the election of the following
officers: President of the Senate,
Col. r. F. Armfeld, of 1redell !;
Speaker of the House, Hon. j. l..
of Macon, Speaker of the last House
of Representatives Principal Clerk
of the Senate, Johnstone Jones,
ESD, Assistant, P. H. Winston,
ESQ; Principal Clerk of the House
Mr.. Jno. D. Cameron, Assistant
Col. W. NJ. Hardy.
The officers elect are highly quail
fled and cur Legislature is now wei
organized for work, but we think
our friends of Western North Car
olina should be little more gener'
Gus in the distribution of public
patronage. P. II. Winston, Esq.
is the only officer in the Legislature
who halls from East of Raleigh.
The enquirer southerner., 1874-11-20
The Currency.

We do not suppose that there is
likely to occur any necessity for a
party demonstration by. the Demo
Gratis on the subject of the curren cy.
We can hardly think that the Rs
publicans will want to get up fight
in which they can win nothing and
only succeed III dividing themselves.
Grant has in1ignautly denied the
statement Of the Republic, of New
York, which said that he had deter
mined to oppose the hard7monsy re-
sumptionists, aud meant to 20 witt,
the West for liberal measures. BE
declares thathe is unchanged. An
other fight over the matter, another
bill, another veto, will do no good to
Republicans. It will only weaken
their ranks. r..r .ys -..
The. Democrats are in the dead mi
nority, and can incur no responsible
ity. They are not ready. ..r =.
What may be the state of affairs
two years hence, when they get pow
er, none can tell. The condition oi
the currency then willbs, the guide
for action, and IT may be widely diff
terent from the present. be- iN'2
1 But to av. I'd sectional divisions
and aversions, both the tariff aud the
currency should be referrad to the
congressional districts. leaving the

q. s. SENATE.

As the full returns of the late
democratic victory come in, it is
found that we will have a good
working force il the ne xt session Of
the U 8. Senate, the Req ublicans
having only ten majority. The
prospects of aDemoaratic adminis>
tration in '76 will make the RAIDS
do all in their power to keep their
hold in the Senate, but the chances
are they will be- foiled in this as
they have been in the House of
Representatives. An.exchange. thus
sums up the prospect. '''i 49,
A gain Of six Senators in 1876
will overcome the Republican ma
jority. The terms of twenty-five
Senators expire March 4. 1877, and
their successors are, to be deter
mined byfthe elections held IN the
Fall of 1876 Of these twenty-five
outgoing Senators fifteen are Re-
publicans; and the defeat of four
of these is absolutely cer~
tain. They are Clayton, of Ar
kansas; West, of Louisiana; Ere.
liughuysen, of New Jersey; and
Cragin, of New Hampshire. It is
very probable that in addition to
these four, Logan of Illinois Har'
vey, of Kansas; Ferry, of Michi'
gan; Window, of Minnesota
Hitchcock, of Nebraska; and Howe
of Wisconsin, will also give place
to Democrats Thus the CONTROL
ing power which the Republican
have been fattering thense've:
they would retain in the admins
tration of the Government for man,
years to come is threatened wit
speedy annihilation. \ 1"s

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Year after year has rolled away
and brought its successive day OF
national thanksgiving, and while
numbers have admitted that there
was always much for which We, in~
dividually and as a people, should be
profoundly grateful to the Great Je~
hovah. there was still larger num-
Der who thought our country, and
especially we of the South, had
more need Of day of fasting, hui
initiation and prayer. The hand of
God has certainly been heavy upon
US and we have had but little over
which to rejoice. We have been
the recipients of cruel wrongs: Our
country has been wasted and our
names dishonored, and the evening
of the first century Of our nations S
history has witnessed omlnous
clouds upon the horizon that have
threatened destruction to all those
dearly priced principles bought with
the best blood of our fathers.
But the sky is Frightening. A
brisk breeze has broken the black
cloud and the sun begins to peeF
out again and giId its borders. Rea
son is returning 10 fanatical ma
ton; sectional hatredS are breaking
down before fraternal affection th'
wrongs of the oppressed are recog
nized and remedied, and the sign:
of the times indicate return to th'
first principles of our government.
Then let our people rejoice ant
give thanks, and on the appointe'
day meet in their accustomed place
of worship and " Praise the Lor
for his goodness and his wonderful
works to the children of men"

in referdnce to the constitutionaiity
of the new State constitusion and

reign of strife and confusion in the
State and another settlement by
the Intervention of the President
with another proclamation. AL
ready an appeal has been address,
ed to him against The recognition
of the Governor elect; but our
special dispatches inform Fus' that
he recognizes the extreme difficulty
Of dealing justly with these, inter

until the meeting of Congress. II
the adherents of Baxter's Lieuten>
ant Governor insist on placing him
at the head of affairs conflict can
not be avoided, and it will then be
impossible for the President to with

of further blood shed over the mis-.
erable squabblc maintained by the
politicians Of Arkansas.

The arrest of Count Won Arniin
by Prince Bismarck, and lis subse.
quent trial, have shown degree
of arbitrary power on the part of
the latter that appears strange and
inconsistent with this age of demo-
cratic free thought. The object Of
Bismarck was to recover certain
papers in the possession of Van
Arnim and he carried his point.
Won Arnim has however been re-
Gently rearrested, the cause of which
is said 70 be attributed to the fact
that he intrusted some of the mis-.
sing documents TO lis counsel, Dr.
Trunkel, who is supposed to have
acquainted himself with f. their con-
tents. DR.. Irunkel refuses to be
examined in the matter, on the
ground that he holds ~ ptivitsge.f'
positian as counsel. SO we are Jeff
to conjecture what con'se the great
diplomatist will now take. 4g-- -Us e @

The Department has not yet haz~
arded q conjecture in regard to the
ultimate yield of the crop of 1874. 1t
differs in several important charac
teristics from preceding crops to an
extent which suggests extra caution
in theorizing. The annual crisis
came earl er than usual, giving to in
furious influences a wider scope of
operation, while the r,cuperatlon OF
September was scarcely perceptible
Yet the month of November may
develop Important notifications in
the fnal figures. An unfavorable
closing season would reduce the ag-
gregate yield to 5000, O,0)0 bales or
lower; the season must be remarka-
bly, tavorably to raise the aggregate
yield above $500, 900 bales.
