SCHOOL PICNIC.
Our public school was out on last
Saturday. Several classes were eX-
amined that proved credit to both
themselves and their teacher. at
half past eleven the table cloths were
spread upon table prepared i'll the
church close by, and il large quantity
of dclicacies, such as pies, cakes, chick
ems, and many other delicious things
were issued out by those who had
them prepared, and all were invited
to partake. AT twelve o'clock the
school marched in procession to the
table, with their teacher at the head.
After dinner and about two hours re-
creation was over, Gn which all SEEM
ed TO enjoy themselves,) school was
called again, and the audience was
entertained by the school. The pro-
CRANE consisted Of dialogues declam-
ations, select reading. music, &c: all
was done to the honor and the pro-
motion of education. Many pieces
were declaimed and acted that would
have been as credit to older heads.
The entertainment closed by q few
encouraging remarks by the teacher,
Miss Rebecca McGinnis, ONE every
way worthy of patronage.
Yours respectfully,
BUZFUZ.

We understand that answers were made
yesterday by Messrs. Melton & Clarke
and Baohman & Youmans, attorneys for
defendant to the complaints which were
filed some days ago by the Sinking Fund
Commissioners, and by the State, through
the Acknowledgement, against cx-Trea-
surer Niles G. Parker. The object, of
course, is to bring them to a speedy
hearing, and the ensuing term of the
Court will be one of no little importance
and interest. For years past prosecu-
ton of this sort has been a thing to
which we could only look forward with
hope that 1t might some day be insti-
tuted. The time has come at last for it
to be done, and the responsibility which
has been accepted SO handsomely by the
Executive, which has made some progress
in the General Assembly, is now, we
trust. to be enforced in the Courts.
Those disreputable transactions in con-
nection with the handling of the public
funds, those frauds and cheats which
have blackened our history for nearly a
decade of years, are, it is to be hoped, to
be dragged into the light, thoroughly
sifted, and, where the guilty. parties can
be made amenable to the law, sternly
punished. We PREJUDICE no man, and
no man who is innocent has any cause to
fear the searching quest Of the judicial
tribunals. Let them now do their ap-
pointed work fearlessly, without favor as
without malice, and may justice and right
prevail and the State be purged of her
despoilers. We congratulate the country
that we have at last an atmosphere in
which prosecutions for wrongs done it
can breathe. Acting, as we believe, from
q high sense of duty, every man who re-
CARDS the public interests and the public
honor will commend the efforts of the
Comptroller General, Dunn, and the At
torney- General, Melton, to bring to ac-
count those, or any one of those, who
have used high positions to defraud tho
people, plunder their property, and soil
the public service.

SILVER REsuMrr1oN.-Upon the best
Washington authority the New York
Bulletin learns that it is the purpose of
the Government not to put in circula-
ton any of the silver coinage, in pur-
suance of the resumption Act, until the
price of gold has fallen to about ]. 10, as
with gold ranging above that quotation
coin would naturally be bought up for
export. The Bulletin adds:
"We are not informed, however, whe-
ther. in the event Of the gold premium
falling to 10, the Government could have
sufficient assurance that it would not ad-
vance again to warrant the coin being
put in circulation. It seems, however,
quite likely that the Secretary Of the
Treasury would feel that he needed very
considerable assurance ON this point
more indeed than, under the generally
unsettled condition of the Influences that
affect the gold premium, he would be
likely to get. We express the opinion
respecting the caution of the Secretary,
because We have reason to believe that
the Administration have less confidence
in this particular branch of the resump.
ton Act than thoy had last February,
and that they will at least tacitly sane
ton the introduction Of bill, immedi-
ately on the opening of next session OF
Congress, to repeal the silver resumption
clause"

r. Gns1aAL GanDon. This distinguished
Georgia statesman was serenaded st VII
mington. N. c., Saturday night Ks
addressed the citizens who bad turned
out in large numbers to do him honor.
We make few extracts from his speech:
He said that it had been charged ON
the floor of the United States Senate that
he had uttered conciliatory sentiments
ut Concord that he dare not speak at the
South. In response to this charge, he
would say here to-day, that he he'd as-
serted in New Hampshire that tho South
had been, was now and forever would be
ready to extend the right hand Of fellow
ship to the people of the Northern States.
General Gordon likened the South to the
suffering patriarch Job; like him they
were afflicted but patient; they had lost
lands, and houses, and friends, and fa-
miles, but they were faithful nnd con-
stant unto the end; Job was filled with
boils and scabs and sores, and the peo-
pie of the South had been over-run with
scallawags and carpet-baggers. Only in
one respect did they differ-even in his
worst extremity, the devil didn't set up
Jobs servants over him. 1t was the
speakers great privilege to be the bearer
this day Of glad tidings to the people.
He had been among the people of the
North, and everywhere could be heard
the mutterings Of the doom that was sure
to overtake those who had abused the
privileges of power and had sunk all of
the instincts and teachings of patriotism
in their panderings to self; and when the
first centennial Of American independ-
ence dawns. the flag of free people
would float from ths dome of the Capitol.
General Gordon concluded with an elo-
quent appeal to the people to stand fast
by the principles that they had so hap
PLY maintained here in the Old North
State, and to go on conquering and to
conquer in the great cause of constitu-
tional liberty.

Gen. Frank P. Blair, who has been
prostrated for long time with q para
lytic attack, has been greatly strength
ened during the past few weeks by the
transmission of blood into his veins. Two
operations had been performed up to
Monday, and third one was to have
been performed on Tuesday. At The
first operation, two ounces were injected,
and ut the second one four ounces, the
patient having first been deprived of
two ounces by bleeding A favorable
change has taken place, the patient
manifesting increased consciousness
and articulating more distinctly. The
St Louis RepaNican describes the trans
fusion process as follows: "The blood
for translation is drawn from the veins
Of healthy man into vessel, where it
is allowed 10 remain In contact with the
oxygenizing properties of the atmosphere

JOHNSON AND BRowNLow.- Nash
vile (Tenn.) Banner evidently does not
attach much importance to the war of
words which is likely to ensue between
ex-President johnson and ex-senator
Brownlow as result Of tho recent bitter
letter Of the latter. II says:
"The truth is that neither of those
venerable East Tennessesans are likely
70 play any vsry conspicuous part in the
future political affairs of Tennessee.
One has gone to the Senate for six years,
and the other has declined into the lean
and slippered pantsloon stage Of homage
dying wick in socket. This ia too
energetic and intelligent an age to be
trammeled with the wornout nonsense Of
asilurian Political epoch. There is not
enough viTility LEFT In, the possible oom.
batants to make = wordy war interesting,
much less exciting enough for Q political
Issue. Younger voices from moro vigor-
ous and less diseased minds and bodies
will drown out the shrill piping Of queru-
Ions and gArrulous old fishwomen."

REs1aNAT1oN OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
WnLIAMs.-The resignation of Attorney
General Williams takes effect on the 18th
of May. He says that he has held the
office long enough for reputation and po-
litical glory, and that it is now time for
him to devote some attention to his own
welfare. He will renew his practice in
Washington as lawyer, and leave to the
President the choice of his successor,
about whom, he says. he has no more
idea than an unborn babe 1t is known,
however, that Secretary Bristow will
willingly accept the Office, and, as the
President has promised he should have
it whenever the present incumbent saw
fit to resign, the question now is, who
will be Secretary Bristow's successor?
Mr. Bristow does not like the duties of
Secretary of the Treasury, and the COM
ing change has alone kept him in Office.
Judge Edwards Pierrepont, of New
York, ex-senator Carpenter and General
Butler are also mentioned in connection
with the coming vacancy. Tho letter of
the President. accepting the resignation
of Attorney General Williams, it is said,
will pay a high tribute to his ability and
distinguished services as the head Of the
Department of Justice.

SPLEsDID WHEAT PRosrEtT. gen.
tleman who has travelled extensively
through Tennessee. Kentucky, West
Virginia, Maryland, Indiana, Ohio and
Southern Illinois, informs us TINT the
winter wheat crop now in the ground in
all that region is in excellent condition.
Some farmers supposed the broadcast
sowing would prove failure in such
States rs Tennessee. Kentucky, Virginia
and Maryland, where the snow did not
lay long on the ground; but examination
OF the ground proves the reverse. Not
only is the growing wheat in excellent
condition in these States, but the area
put in is large. In the more Northerly
portion of the winter wheat belt the
earth has been very steadily covered
with snow, and there can be no doubt
that when the thaw comes it will be
sudden. Spring will be skipped and
summer will begin. The weather will
be hot and forcing, and the growth of
the wheat plant will be rapid. Another
thing appears to be certain, and that is,
there will be big corn crop in 1875.
Corn is now bringing price that will
insure large profit to the farmer, and
hogs arc high also. Thus are two incen-
tives to produce corn largely. If the
crop should be so large as to force prices
down, it can be fed to hogs and made to
pay good profit that way.

Meeting Union Council. r

The members and ministers Of the va
rious Presbyterian churches, meeting In
conference in New York, have adopted
articles of alliance, which declare Aeir
denominationAlu unity and their tolerance
of other religious bodies This il in
furtherance of the effort for the proposed
confederation Of the different Presbyte-
rian churches throughout the world, and
OF the general conference to be held in
London this year. The sort of union
proposed is closely analogous to that of
the Congregational churches. There is
to be grand council, composed Of rep
resentatives of the different Presbyterian
churches, which, however, will have no
Legislative or judicial powers, and can
only make recommendations, which the
churches are at liberty to accept or re-
Ject- The Association Of Congregational
Ministers has precisely as much and -
little power, but it has still been able to
virtually exercise much Of the authority
which belongs to really Legislative
body. The Pan-Presbyterian Council
will undoubtedly bring about unity Of
action among 10000, 600 Of Presbyterians
in America, Europe and Australia, which
will intellectually increase their power.
If these 70, coo, 900 can be induced TO sb-
stain from sectarian Jealousy, and to Join
in an organized effort, it will soon be re-
cognized that new power has arisen
The confederated Presbyterian churches
will at once become the chief of the Pro
testant bodies.

Wan IN MCvBx.-Advices from HA.
yenA report that 1000 we'll mounted in
surgents have entered the Jurisdiction of
t6Agua, and on Friday last burned seven
large planfations in the district of Que
nnAda de los Guines. They met with no
reststanoe. Manuel Suareu, formerly an
oMcer OF the Spanish army, was in COM
mand. Another rebel cavalry corps, es-
tmated at 800 strong, is operating un-
der General Sanguili, in the Eastern part
OF the jurisdiction of Colon. It was
supposed at Havana that reinforcements
had been received by Captain General
Valmaseda, Sufficient to prevent the in
surgents from over-running Colon and
TO check their progress Westward for the
present. The activity of the insurgents
seems in no way diminished since VAL
maseda has taken the field. That re-
doubtable commander has gathered the
largest force ever moved against the in
surrection, and if lie fails to check Go
mez and his lieutenants, Spain's chance
OF holding Cuba III ut an end. In the
meantime. the insurgents, true to their
policy OF devastation, arc applying the
torch TO the plantations in every direc-
tic-l. Never Mt any period of the strug-
gle did tho insurgents penetrate rs fur
west as they have done within the past
week, and there seems little reason to
doubt that they will succeed in reducing
the Western department to the condition
of desert. BY the destruction of the
plantations, tho insurgents not alone
cripple the Spanish treasury, but every
estate destroyed adds to their ranks
numbers of men, who can be utilized in
the struggle for Independence. Within
the next few weeks tho fate of Cuba will
bo decided. If Valmascda fails to dis
perso Gomez's force. the insurrcction
may be looked upon as having at length
secured its final triumph.
