The Special Session.

Having had letter from i aleigh re
latiye TO the design of Gov. Jarvis to
call special session of the Legislature,
the Wilmington Star says
We do not think an extra session
desirable whether viewed from an Geo.
nomlc standpoint or from that o. mere
policy. There are both cost and peril
in an extra session, and we would be
glad to see it avoided, if it can be done,
we repeat, properly and legally. But
if not, then Gov. Jarvis will have to
call one and that is the whole of it, A
good lawyer, Federalist and Repub-
lican, says he does not regard it as
within the power of the Congress to
provide election machinery for State
Of course State rights Democrats will
hardly insist upon the right of the Con
gress to override State boundaries at
will and by rn arbitrary exercise Of pow
er undertake to do that for the sovereign
Commonwealth which they are quail
feG and empowered amply to do for
themselves.
The Western papers, or those along
the line of the Z. 4 d. Railroad, gen
orally agree that special session is in
dispensble
The Messenger yields to no one in
featy to Dem cracy; but it is also old
enough, and certainly quite able, to
approve only what is right and to dis
approve all that is wrong, whether it
emanates from Democratic leaders or
from republican knaves. We are in
duced to say this much on reading that
certain gentleman, democratic leaders,
were in Washington to consult with
the North Carolina representatives
there, as to the policy or necessity of
calling an extra session of the Legisla-
tnre. We are the more out of patience
with the idea that this question can
best be determined at Washington, be-
cause the last extra session was detirm-
lned upon in the same shameful man
ner. Why 60 to washington to con-
sult9 1t is not reasonable to suppose
that the Governor, with the ala and
advice of his counsel. is fully able to
decide the III after, as it is his preroga-
tive, and as may TO him deem best to
the interest Of the State! Certainly it.
would seem so, and we hope to hear
no more of Washington conference to
consider 20 North Carolina affairs.
That may DO for our Republicans
friends, but the thing is decidedly
repugnant to an intelligent Democracy.

A CONTRAST. The following state
ment OF notorious facts we find IN the
columns OF the St Louts Post Dtspatch.
"Some twenty years ago Conkling,
Blaine, Sherman, Allison, Window,
ana Wilson were all Republican mem
bers of the House together They
were all poor at that time-very poor.
Blaine is now millionaire; Allison of
Iowa. in the Senate, is another million
aire; Sherman is trebly a millionaire; :;
Window is millionaire; Wilson also
got to be very rich; Roscoe Conkling
the ablest, greatest, proudest Of them
.ll-is poor to-day.
These six public men, all Republi-
cans, are nearly of the same age, and
they have all been engaged in active
politics since they entered Congress
together. Five of them, pursuing the
same career, and with no opportunity
to acquire fortune by any regular pro
fession, have become very wealthy,
four of the number being reckoned as
millionaIres.
Mr.. Conkling alone of the six, with
tie same chances before him, concern
ed in the same legislation, and more
conspicuous aBd influential then the
| others, is in straitened means. and goes
back to the law to earn an honorable
! livelihood.
This contrast is striking, bit it is
eminently to the credit Of the former
| Senator from New York, who, what
ever may have been his faults as
leader. was never accused of venality,
and whose whole record in Cong ress Is
unstained.
Blaine, Allison, Sherman, Window,
and Wilson, on the other hand, have
all been investigated in one form OF
another, and they have all needed
''vindication. Their lives and tbeil
success reveal the sources of wealth a.
Washington, and make plain the char

A GRASTLY DISCOVERY

In New York few evenings ago a mes
senger of the American Express Cornanv
whilst asserting his packages for shipment
West, tore open suspicious looking package
and found the bodies of two children-oue a
boy about two years old, and the other a girl,
probably not more than six months old. The
boy was neatly dressed in white shirt, Jacket.
pantaloons, and shoes and stockings The
girl was neatly dressed in white and also
wore shoes and stockings. The girl Law in
the boys arms and the two bodies were tied
in sheet. \ board about two feet long and
ten inches wide, was then laid over the flce
of the box, and around the bodies was snuoIv
wrapped light brown wrapping papersecurelv
tied with a string. The address on the mt
side Of the package was Prot. Gage. Cornell
College, Ithaca, New York. The bodies were
in good state Of preservation, having annar-
emily been dead not more than twentv-fon-
hours. The theory Of the police is that these
bodies were purchased from some undertaken
who had been charged with the sacred drty
Of buryiDg them, and that the person who
purchased them, whoever he was, had rasoId
them to Prof Gage.

THE KNIFE ATA METHODIST CONFER
ENCE.

The Methodist Conference, which adj
journed at st. Louis few days ago, brought
forth a row between the presiding elder and
a prominent minister, and a stormy scene
was enacted. The church was crowded. and
it became known that the Rev. Dr. G.. W.
Hughey, who has hitherto had charge of
Trinity, one of the largest Methodist churches
in the city, had been transferred to the Ca
rondclet church, charge not nearly so i'm
p6rtant and yielding only half the salary of
Trinity. As soon as the Conference was de-
clared adjourned, DR.. Hughey, accompanied
by his sons, met Presiding Elder Hagerty
and the Rev. De. b. St. James Fry in the
aisle. In an excited manner, Dr. Hughey
charged the preachers with undermining his
character and improperly influencing the
Bishop to have him assigned to CarOadelet.
"That is u nice way" he exclaimed, to serve
administer with ministerial record of thirty
three years as GOOD as any III the Conference
DR.. Hughey's three sons were present, and
one Of them, George, II years of age de-
nounced DR.. Fry IN vehement and profane
language. Dr.. Fry replied to the boy: L
suppose you are a son of Hughey, as you act
and talk like that breed" The boy imme-
diately drew a clasp-bnife, and was in the
act of opening it, when his sister detected
the movement. Other members of the family
seized him and pulled him away from Dr..
Fry. DR. Hughey realized how his sons
rashness had done his own cause harm, an0
said to him, You villain, what did you do
that for?" The lad replied, " Why, father,
want to cut Fry's liver ont, and I'll do it
YETI. All of this took place in the presence
of the congregation, causing great confusion.
Some of the ladies screamed and tainted.

DEAD TO THE WORLD,

At the Convent of the Sisters of Mercy
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, recently, two young
ladies TenOunced the world and took upon
themselves the white veil. One of the nov
ices is q young lady of well known family.
This was Miss Eleanor Ewing, daughter of
General Hugh Ewing, of Lancaster Ohio,
niece of General Thomas Ewing, and niece
of General William T. Sherman. Miss Ew-
ing is in her twenty-first year, and was well
known as a society belle in Washington She
travelled extensively in Europe, where she
was received into excellent society, and after
ward spent two seasons in Washington. She
was noted for her beauty, modesty, and wit,
and was as fond Of the social gayeties as a
young lady usually is. About q year ago she
began to talk of entering a convent. The
idea was not well received by her parents,
especially her father, but there was no posi-
tive prohibition OF it. Six months ago Miss
Ewing entered the convent here on the usual
six months probation. Mrs. Ewing, two
brothers eff the novice, and Miss Edith Ew-
ing, her sister, were present at the ceremony,
but General Ewing was so much overcome
by his feelings at his daughters action that
he did not come to Pittsburg.

SAD FATE OF A FAMILY.

The indianapolis Sentinel says: A sad
picture was presented on the road west OF
this city. A wagon on its way to the in
sane asylum contained woman Of unsbund
mind. In her arms, pressed to her BOSOM
was the lifeless body of an infant. Three
other little ones, whose destiny was the
poor-house, were crOuched in the wagon
shivering and cold. BY the woman's side
sat her husband, with his head bowed in
sorrow. pair of handouts were locked
around his wrists. The family of six was
to be rudely separated, perhaps forever.
Their destinations were. the asylum, the
poor-house, the Jail and the grave. The
mother, it is understood, would not consent
to her removal unless she could take her
dead child along. The fathers crime was
not found OUT

THREE MEN KILLED BY COL, BELTS.
Col VIM. II. Belts, while on the stand as a
witness in New York o few days ago giving
his evidence in the Tracy-8Iiler murder trial,
made a somewhat remarkable statement.
His testimony is reported as follows:
William II. Belts, a gray-haired, long
bearded mi1itary-loofing man, who now re-
sides in Washington, ID. c., testified that ne
spoke to Tracy when he came into Darling's
saloon. Tracy walked mp TO the counter,
turned, stepped across The threshold of the
partition dividing the cigar stand from tie
tar-room, and, facing Miller with pistol IN
his hand, said: ~ come in here to kill you"
lie fred and witness seized Tracy and turned
his pistol to the floor; Tracy was about three
feet from Miller when the shot was fred.
Cross-examined by Mr.. Howe-I saw a
pistol in Miller's hand and took it away
from him. He identified the pistol shown
him.
To jHror-I didn't get the pistol until
we reached the sidewalk
To Mr.. Howe-I carry pistol nearly all
the time.
Mr.. HOwe-Have you ever killed q man
The Witness-I have.
Mr.. HOwe-Have you killed two?
The Witness have killed three.
Mr.. HOwe-That'8 all [ want to know.
Mr.. O'Byrne Ito the witness)-Win you
explain under what circumstances?
The Witness-At the breaking out of the
war | was in an Alabama regiment at the
capture Of two forts and the Pensacola
Navy Yard; man named Brown in the
same regiment insuIted my wife; he was
arrested and his captain promised to punish
him, but | said it was not the kind OF
punishment ! wanted; Brown pulled his
pistol and shot me in the lip; pulled a
knife and killed him; a cOr0ner's jury dis
charged me and 1 was never indicted; case
No. was at West Point on the Chattahoo-
chic River, the dividing line between Ala
bama and Georgia; [ was in a bar-roOm
with some friends, when twenty men came
in armed with pistols; one fired and broke
my right arm, and I fired and killed him :;
the jury was out five minutes, and acquitted
me; case No. was at Albany, Ga, in 1867,
where went to get up horse race; on a
Sunday was chatting with some friends
about burglar who had escaped from the
villagers the night before, when q man, hold
ing q hickory stick in one hand and six
shooter in the other, said he would take NE
in; told him to so home, that I had just
got out of prison, and didn't care to get in
again; he insisted, and l fired and killed
him; the jury were out eight minutes, and
they found a verdict of not guilty.
The testimony created marked sensation
in the court, but the witness was undisturbed,
and talked as glibbly, coolly, and disinter-
estedly as though he were nsrrating some
commonplace tale

THOU ART GONE.
BY A. J. EDISON, NJ. D.

THESE lines were written on the death Of l.
ayette Edison, aged lG years, who was mortallS
rounded at Missionary Ridge.
Thou art gone, my brother, at last,
Ths noble the true and the brave!
Swim down in the battles fierce blast,
A soldier, unknown, i'm lis grave.
Oh, cruel the missile that found
The form Of that innocent youth;
The breast which was torn by that wound
Was the seal of honor and truth.
He knew not the trcmor Of fear,
He often had met the stern foe.
Brilian; but shor; his career,
And keen as unwoltod the blow.
He fell in the midst OF the fight
Was borne from the red field of strife,
Beneath the dark curtain of night,
lie hreathcG out the spirit OF life.
All, vain is mans wisdom and skill
When the death angc maylscth his prey
Il l. The Ofuuiuo;out VIII,
And morla's know not of that day.
All, lrother, Ger life was no more,
DiGst ;hinll Sf The loving and true,
Ofthosc who have gone on before,
And those who must follow thee, too?
Diast wish for thy own brother there,
To wipe the cold sweat from Thy brow,
To smoothe back thy soft raven hair,
And close those dark eyes so dim now?
Yet peaceful he his southern tomb,
Though bitter the tears Of our grief,
Sweet the flowers hat over him bloom,
Whose spriug-time of life was 50 brief.

SUMMERING ABROAD.

Reports from the headquarters in New
York of the various European steamship
companies confirm the impression that
travel from this side the coming summer
will be fully equal to that of the most pros
porous season heretofore; and, what is more,
it promises to begin much earlier than usual.
Even now the lists of cabin passengers are
of respectable proportions, and the ap-
plicatiOns to all the leading lines for accom-
modations ahead are sufficient in many cases
as to absorb ali the spare room in the best
steamers clear up to the middle of June
thus necessitating the employment of extra
boats. There are no special causes at work
to stimulate this sort OF emigration, and its
expansion, therefore, must be set down IS
something that is simply keeping pace with
the natural growth of the country in other
respects.
