COLLISION ON THE RIvER.-AbOut three
o'clock Yesterday afternoon the tugbOat
Continental while towing barge No. "A, of
the Mississippi Valley transportation Com
pany, collided with coal barge owned by
Spencer Field, Jr, & Co. the coal barge
had a large hole knocked in the side, and
is ia leaky condition. Opposite post No.
AZ the tug again collided with the bark Con-
stantia, carrying away her bOwsprit and
damaging her bow. The damage to the
Constanta is estimated at between $4,000
and $4,000 William Gilmore, the Waterman
of the barge, was thrown by the conclusion
from the deck into the hold, and had his
shoulder dslocated.
The Enthusiastically morning, quite
early, saw four O'Clock, Charles Philips and
Henry Hamilton, two cOl0red men, were
playing small game of seven up in the de-
licious den at the corner of Dryades and
Onion streets. The stakes were two bits
a side on each game, and the swarthy Ham,
iltOn was losing. In one of the games
dispute arose as to the proper ownership of
two bit stamp, in the course Of which Ham,
dlton was accused by Philips with errone-
susy appropriating said wealth. The in
einuation was promptly and eHergetically
denied, which led to quarrel, and
one another, but Jessie Woods, the
steward of the institution put them out
still further on the banquette. There they
Sound themselves at liberty to fight it out,
which they straightway proceeded to do.
A policeman intertered, but in the melee
which en.ued poor Philips was stabbed in
the left shoulder and breast 1t was at
first thought that his wounds were mortal.
but at last accounts hopes were entertained

Sales by Sample.

We are for freedom in commerce, and have
never been satisfied that the rights and in
forests Of merchants demanded tax upon
sample sales. The system of drumming and
selling by sample has prevailed long
il the country, and all cities have pur
sued it. Justice to none required
that it should be placed under the
ban. The merchants Of one city will feel
thai they are inhospitably treated In another
city where they are not allowed to mike in.
'ereSt and acquaintance by displaying speci
mems OF goods; a@d when at home they
should equally feel that it is inhospitable
and Il: wac with the free spirit OF commerce
for their city to treat the stranger AS tbcv
were treated elsewhere.
Nevertheless, the merchants OF many
cities demand that this imposition be put
upon all who sell by sample. Even city of
the dignity Of Baltimore calls upon the
Legislature for sample license-law. The
petition with that object is signed by the
best names in the mercantile community.
We should he very slow to express opin-
ions In opposition to such authority but we
have formed our views upon general prnci-
pies. Look at the stratagem of distributing
samples and prices by mail and by express.
That is as efficient, perhaps, as personal so.
6citations of the drummers, and pray
what can be done to bring the men who
sell by sample In that way to account
for infringing the rights of mer
chants: 4 law which may be sc
.1.>.y cTaded is hardly necessary. The
trade considers the procuring Of samples and
prices through mail or by express great
convenience. We can hardly suppose tina
samples and prices presented in another wa.
would lie less convenient or more injurlou
to the trade where such samples are offered
But this Is q matter in which the voice o
the merchants will surely be heard.
However, just as this subject is being ear
nestly discussed in several cities we have in
formation from New York that the dry good
iobbcrs Of the country are inclined to breal
up the system of drumming altogether.
Is considered by many as not benef
cial to trade. 1t is added that sewers
of the largest houses in New York wi
send no statesmen out this season. The
propose to make prices low, send out occ;
sional samples, and make the buyer feel tn
real necessity of coming himself TO marke
and canyassipg the trade.
1t is very possible that drumming has il
evils and ought to be abandoaed; but "
like liberal legislation, and dislike to see il
telligent merchants fearing that every win
that blows has something to do injury t

The Senate and the Library.


Neither the Senate nor the Library OF 'ne
state was removed yesterday from the Capt.
tel, aud we doehope that neither VIII DC. IL
would be great inconvenience II not a
great loss to move the library from the Capt.
toll: and certainly It would be very great
inconvenience IN the prosecution OF the
business of legislation II the Senate were 10
hold its sessions out Of the Capitol,
If the dilapidated and threatening cono''
ton Of the building were such as to put
anybody in peril we should be the iast 10 op'
pose the removal of either or bota iFo'i 'io
Clpitel. But we are satisfied that there Is
not the slightest danger Of tho giving wa!
Of the building.
The (,sn;tol is the strongest building IN
this city save the custom-aouse. The libra
rv.floor, we know, is as strong as it need DC
fer all practical purposes. The joisss are of
the long-leayei North Carolina hcart-pine,
eighteen inches deep, and they are unusually
near together and doubly bridsed from end
to end Of the room. Trains of freigbt-cars
might be run across il without Danger. A
regiment Of elephants could move IN Ire
across it without accident. The giving way
of small part of the plaster OF the cellnS
above the library was no indication OF the
weakness Of the floor.
It is not surprising that senators should be
alarmed, however. The calamity Of 1870 is
remembered painfully by some of them. But
I,,o 70 Ir, roll tod pirinrS
The floor that then fell so fatally was re-
placed by one exactly like that in the IL
brary, and there never has been question
as TO its solidity and power.
True this floor has no great weight upon
it; but we should suppose that any practi-
cal observer would say that the State Libra
rnry would be no suffi lent weight to strain
that floor.
The architects and builders who exposed
and thoroughly examined the library-foor
on Saturday declared that the books rather
strengthened and supported the walls OF the
librsry-room than strained them. Those
walls needed not that support, but the cx-
pertS, to remove apprehension, stated that
the books should rather give an increased
feeling Of security so FIR as the walls were
concerned, while the floor was so very pow.
erIul tia. i: was not affected by the weight
upon i.
In 1870 we saw the walls of the Capitol
tested, and said that if the State could be
assured that there was always as much hon.
csty inside the building as there was in the
walls she would have no cause to apprehend
corruption in the State Assembly. Feeling
as we do from a considerable knowledge OF
the building, and from the examinations and
opinions of builders and architects, we
should regard the removal of the library as
unnecessary, either for the safety of the
books or for the security of the Senate.
Still, rs we before said, mems lives are pre- |
Gous to them, and we ought not to desire |
the senators TO sit in hall where they think |
themselves in danger. Only we wish they |
would calmly and deliberately examine for |
themselvcS,-nowa after timeto become calm
and he fully satisfied one way or the other
before they determine fiually.

they entered upon so fearful an expedition.

AN UNwAnRANTABLE CONTRACT UNDER THE
sAsBoRN LAw.-It is reported that under the
so-called Sanborn contract law contract was
made with certain persons not long ago by
the Treasury Department. looking to the
virtual contiscation of the line of railroad
extending from DauyilIe, Va, to Green's
boro', N. c., on the pretense that it was
built by the Confederate Government, and,
therefore, became the property of the United
States after the surrender OF the Confedera-
cy. 1t is scarcely conceivable that proceed
ings Of this character have been begun or
are contemplated. II the Government has
any claim upon the road it ought to have
prosecuted it Immediately after the war
ended. To take advantage of any technical
legal right at this late day would be an un.
warrantable act of spoliation.- Washington
