~ The North Carolina Legislature cou-
vened in extra session, on Monday last, US is
generally known, to take into consideration
the advisability of selling to New York sym
dicate the States interest in the Western
North Carolina Railroad. At the date Of our
latest advices from Raleigh, no action had been
taken. 1t is understood that the Republican
members will oppose the sale, while the Dem.
ocrats are generally in favor of selling, though
divided in opinion as to what should be the
terms of sale.

Virginia and the q. s. Supreme Court.
In the Senate of the Virginia Legisla.
ture on Wednesday of last week, preamble
and resolutions were adopted relative to the
recent decision of the United States Supreme
Court in the case of j. D. Coles, County Judge
of Virginia, indicted in the United States
Circuit Court, Judge Rives, for failing to put
negroes on juries. The preamble recites in
effect that the decision threatens the very ex'
istence of State governments as distinct SOW
ereignties, and places the judiciary of the
State completely under the control of the
United States, and if followed to its logical
results will enable the United States Congress
to coerce the State judiciary as we'll as the
State executive and legislative department in
all matters, thus destroying every vestige OF
State sovereignties, a very alarming doctrine
to all who value the blessings of liberty, for
the security of which the United States con.
stitution itself was established and ordained.
The resolutions urge Virginia's Senators and
Representatives in Congress to procure re-
peal of all the laws of Congress which tend
to the exercise of powers not delegated to the
United States by the constitution nor pro-
hibited by it to the States, and especially of
that act under which the decision mentioned
was rendered, and requests the Governor to
communicate copies of the resolutions to the
Governors of the several States, with view to
having the Legislatures thereof take similar
action.
For the Centennial Celebration.
Under the above caption the Charlotte
Observer of Saturday says:
It is estimated that it will require at least
$4,000 to celebrate Kings Mountain centen-
NAL in a manner suitable to the event CON"
memorated, and the executive committee ofthe
centennial association have already addressed
themselves to the work Of raising the funds. At
a former meeting, resolution was adopted
empowering them to make such additions to
the ways and means committee as would ena.
BILE them to carry out the objects ofthe associa-
tion, and, in accordance with this resolution,
the secretary has appointed number of rep
resentative citizens throughout the section Of
country contiguous to the battle ground, each
of whom is requested to take such measures
as he may deem best to accomplish the OBJ
ject in view, and to report to the committee
at its meeting to be held on the oath of March,
in Charlotte.
The Knoxville (Tenn.) Tribune, referring
to preparations making in that section for the
approaching celebration, has the following:
Our distinguished fellow-citizen, DR.. j. G.
M. Ramsey, has suggested what strikes US as
very appropriate, the idea of raising in this
neighborhood a cavalry company of the de-
scendants of those who participated in the
battle of Kings Mountain, to attend the cen.
tennial celebration of that important event
in our struggle for independence. Let the
company be equipped in the frontier style Of
1880, and cross the mountains-c out
as near as practicable by the old trail pursued
by their fore-fathers. Capt. John M. Brooks,
who probably has more of the blood Of the
heroes of Kings Mountain in his veins than
any one man in this immediate community,
is suggested as proper person to take the
