EASTERN DISPATCHES
Advantages of the Money Unit
System.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2, 1876.
Leading advocates of the proposed
monetary convention with Great Brit
ain, claim that if a common money
unit should be adopted, q common
language Of accounts would be the re-
suit, and that in this feature it pos
sesses a great advantage over all plans
of international coinage.
Presidential SpecuIations.
New York, Feb. 2, 1876.
A Washington special says Kerr's
letter dominates Hendricks chances
of Thurman's stock rising; Tilden is
not prominent. An effort is being
make by Republicans of the Northwest
to make a combination in favor of
Blaine for President and Cameron, of
Wisconsin, for Vice President.
The CarIis.s Almost Subjugated.
a London special says Spain has
intimated TO the great powers that it
anticipates to end the Carlists within
ten days, and will then have reinforce
ments for the army in Cuba.
Notorious Burglars Arrested.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. Feb. 2.
A notorious burglar named Stevens
has been arrested, who is suspected of
being connected with the Northamp-
ton bank robbery.
Aheridan's Headquarters.
A rumor is now prevalent that Gen.
Sheridan's headquarters are to be re-
moved from Chicago to Fort Leaven-
worth. and that Gen. Pope and his
staff will make their headquarters at
Fort Ripley or Fort Harker. The rea-
son for this removal seems to be the
effort of the Government to economize,
as by this change the expenses will be
greatly reduced. There are military
barracks at Fort Ripley and Fort Leav-
enworth, and of course the cost of the
rental of the building for officers apart
ments will be saved. Very expensive
apartments are now used as tie army
headquarters.
Crooked whisky Trials.
Hessing. Rehm and Hoyt will plead
to the whisky indictments to-day, and
it is understood will move to quash on
various technical grounds. Turner, the
Sagetown distiller, will not turn State
evidence, and as he was the principal
witness against ex-Supervisor Mum,
that functionary is likely to escape.
No Mercy for those Who Confessed.
A Washington special says the Prssi-

Cotton CuItiVatOr.

The improvement which are being
yearly made in the farming implements
that which are used in the cultivation of
the great Southern staple are attract
ing the attention of all Southern plant
ers We were shown yesterday the
tor intends to be used in the cotton
crop while the weed is yet yoang. Mr.
Horrell of Hartford county, has con-
troll of the patent, and is seeking a man
of capital who will take hold of the
invention.
The chopper has some machinery
about it, but the machinery is not
complicated, and is easily managed by
the plaiuest farm hand. The objects
to be accomplished are to chop out the
cotton to a stand, and at the same time
to weed down the row and redirt the
young plants. The cultivator is dawn
by two horses and completes the en-
tire row at one passing over.
Mr.. Harrell's postof1ice is Harrells-.
vile, Hertford county. We believe
that there if merit in the invention and
that 1t will prove to be grand success.
We have examined the model CAREFUL
ly, and knowing something of the
wants of the planter. .unhesitatingly say
that one of his greatest needs has been
supplied by the inventor of this cotton
cultivatOr.

We noticed report of the debate in

offered by Hon. John Randolph.
Under the head of ''Salaries of Exec.
utive Officers It says:
''The House considered an amend
ment to the bill to continue in force
the act regulating the salaries of GER
tain officers of the government. Mr..
Randolph moved to postpone the con-
sideration of the bill indefinitely, add
ing, ''if the officers whose salaries are
to be increased were to be consulted on
the subject, they wouldi have felt the
extreme delicacy of asking for more
money at q time when tho citizens of
the United States were in distress.
Was it n proper time
to increase salaries when the plant
er, the merchant and the mechanic
were at loss to procure shilling?"

FOREIGN.

LONDON, June s. Noon-The Paris
correspondent of the Times says it
seems now beyond doubt that Russia,
III accord with the other powers, has
agreed to postpone the presentation
of the Berlin memorandum to the
Porte.
The Times Berlin dispatch do
clares that the action of ROumania
and Servia III relation to their contem-
plated declaration of independence
will doubtless be governed by Russia
who seems willing to recognize Murad
upon condition that he abandons the
idea of waging war against Servia and
Montenegro. As, however, the Murad
party is bent upon such a war it is ex-
pected that the new Sultan will give
no binding promise. 1t is reported
that three British men-of-war are
cruising off the Dalmatian coast to pre-
vent landing of arms for the insurgents.
In the meantime warlike preparations
continue. Servia has just announced
her adhesion to the Geneva conven-
tion relative to the treatment of the
wounded.
The Official Gazette of Montenegro
declares fresh armistice is impossi-
bic, and says the lnsurrectiOn will now
continue in good earnest.
The Times in its second edition pub
fishes special dispatch dated at Ber-
lin, june 81, saying: tIt appears that
the powers have suspended action on
the Berlin memorandum for few
days in order to allow the new Turkish
government to give unmistakable indi-
cation of their policy and their power
OF maintaining themselves.

cratic convention includes the follow.
ing: Free schools exempt from all sec
tartan control, free press accountable
for abuses to the civil and crimina
laws, preservation of the public faith
and credit and the honest payment of
the public debt. The resolutions say
s'that we are in favor of repeal of
the resumption act of January, 1875,
but inasmuch rs the national cOL2 en-

ing ourselves to support its platform,

name was withdrawn, and the vote for
Stanford was unanimous, we'll de
served compliment to a gallant son of

Major ..Engelhard, i'll placing MIR.

merited tribute to the ability and per-

notice shall be given.
Resotced, That the accusation against
w. r. Cox, chairman of this committee, o.
conspiring to deprive r. nj. Norment, OF
Robeson county, of his rights as citizen
at the election for delegates to the consti-
tutional convention, is, in our opinion,
utterly groundless, and that the institution
OF proceedings for his arrest so long after
the alleged offence, and ON the eve of the
meeting OF this committee, is wretched
attempt at Intimidation, and but an Illus
tratiOn of the vile prostitution of law and
,egal process to the purpose of manufac-
turing political capital, so generally prac-
ticed throughout tue South by the Republi-
can party.
ResOlUed, That we doubt not that all
good people of whatever party affiliation.
will see the base purpose of this unfounded
prosecution, and that its investigators,
whoever they may prove to be, will receive
their reward Of condemnation and con-
tempt.
ResOloed, That the good of the State and
interests of the party, which are identical.
demands that the personal warfare between
the Sentinel and Daily News of this CITY

the overthrow OF Radicaism in this STATE:
and that copies of the resolution be trans
mitted by the Secretary TO the editors of
those papers.
