more debate than could now be afforded.

lection of life and property on steamboats, will
probably go over till next session for want of
time.

ing vessels

At meeting of the House Pacific Railroad
Committee this P. NJ, Mr.. Killinger's PROPOSE
ton that five members of the committee be

was rejected by vote of seven against five,
those in the affirmative being Killinger of
Pa, Williams of Mich, Neal of o., Wells of
Mo-, and Creamer of N. Y. The last three are
democrats.
Mr.. Sypher of La, then offered a resolution
reciting that although Congress has complete
power over the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany, its own creation, it has not control over
the Central, which is an incorporation created
by the laws of the state of California; regard
ing the contract between this corporation and
the United States government, as to interest
advances and the five per cent fund, Com
gress has referred these questions to the courts
for adjudication and no proposed investigation
would result in practical good on these sub
jeets even if it were proper for Congress to ex-
press an opinion on the rights of parties while
suits are pending. This resolution was adopt
ed by votes of Sypher of La, Houghton of
CAL, Crocker of Mass, Corwin of Ill, Will
liams of Mich, M. Dill of Iowa, Barnum of
Conn.,, and Dreamer of New York. Against
Wells of Mo-, Stamford of KY, and Neal of

The Dog Law.
The grand jury of the Court of General SEES
sions made presentment to-day in relation to
the ordinance of the common council in re-
gard to the destruction of dogs. They declare
that there is absolute necessity for such an Or
dinance and approved of its object but believe
that the execution of the law as now existing
was detrimental to the morals of youth. They
recommend an amendment to the ordinance so
as to abolish rewards for capturing dogs, and
substitute men to be appointed by the Mayor
for that purpose. They also recommend the
selection of more suitable location for a dog
pound, as the present one is too near the public
schools. =

The North Carolina Victory.

A Raleigh correspondent Of the New
York World. sum up the victory in that
State, as follows:
North Carolina is redeemed from Rad
cal corruption. The true sons of the
old North State have gained a victory
almost unparalleled in the history of elec-
tions in the Southern States since the war.
With the influence of both the state and
federal administrators, and the prestige
given to the Radical party 10y success
at every State election for the past six or
seven years with the exception OF that
Of 1870, to contend against. they bav,
swept the state 10y from II to $4,000 ma
jorty, electing their State candidate. five
ont Of the eight judges to be chosen,
nearly all of the twelve solicitors, seven
out of the eight congressman. the radi
calls electing Jacob Hyman, (negro) in
the negro district, and over two-thirds
Of both houses of the legislature.
The cause Of the great triumph is to
be accounted for principally by the effect
of the Civil Rights bill, though somewhat
to dissensons in certain sections Of the
State in the republican party.

The Trust Fund.

In the Gazette of Friday, we find the
full decision of Hon. j. j. Clendenin,
Judge Of the Seventh Judicial District,
rendered Thursday, on the application OF
G. c. Reed, jr. tor mandamus TO compel
the State Treasurer to comply with the
Convention ordinance arpropriating GER
tain trus. funds to pay the contingent eX-
penscs Of The Convention aud to run the
State government. The Judge holds
there is only about $1,000 which can be
used under The Convention ordinance
that is the general fund arising from
other sources than the sale of govern
ment lands He holds that the sinking
fund cannot be touched, being already
pledged by an act of the Legislature for
another debt We understand the Treas
urer has appealed from the decision of
the court as to the Sl600-so it is now
quite plain that the Convention must
make other provisions for running the
government, for even should the decision
of the court be sustained $780, to use q
common expression, won't be drop in
the bucket
