For the Farmer aId Ne
Needed Legislation

The efforts of the Farmer and -bechan
ic have done much TO arouse the thinking
! portion of our people to the importance
| of their material Improvements. But no
great success need be expected until Ger
| tain vital changes are made in the bottom
| laws and conditions of trade and com
merce. labor and capital. the speedy al
ministration of justice, aud the constant
control BY the people of their own local
affairs. Until those changes arc brought
| about, no real progress can be made no
/ out side capital, or foreign immigration
| be expected no regulation OF labor; no
/ imrrovement Of the soil, no advance IN
population aud no increase IN wealth or
political power. The mere croake: hnds
both complaint and excuse in the changes
| and losses OF war, the reign OF the car
! pet Dagger. the prejudice OF the lankee,
! and the natural difficulties OF oul geo
graphical and commercial position. but
| other States and countries have often
! overcome similar troubles and difficulties
! in an incredibly short space OF tune. W.T.
| ness Scotland in her repeated suhJ.ctlon
by Eagland. Prussia, first under Fred
! erick the Great, and latterly after the ter
rible conquest of Napoleon; and Belgium,
the battlefield of nations, the three
! most prosperous countries of Europe.
Among the States of this Union. look at
Georgia. South, and Pennsylvania, North,
either without any great commercIal ad-
vantage, yet each rising to the grandest
height of popular and political power. 1t
has been mainly due to wise laws, suited
to the mental, moral AID material deyel-
opment Of the masses.
To attain. like or similar results here
in North Carolina. would suggest Leg
! ~islation looking to the following objects
and ends. VIZ:
/. A full restoration of the Township
system. so as to interest the people in
their own affairs.
II. \ Road Law combining labor and
capital in opening and keeping Up all
+! public highways.
III. Such a modification of the Home
stead and Exemption Laws as to return
credit to the onmon people.
". y cheap and speedy adminisua-
ton of justice through some n'tcrme-
diate contrasting monthly, HiIh iull
supervising powers-but without pay,
and without appeal. except N questions
of law.
V. A return 10 family government
by giving parents the control OF their
own children, and indicting Others for
hircing OF harboring then; except OF
course under given peculiar circum-
stances. Also rigidly binding all
~vacabond minors; and indicting all
able-bodied Migrants. This to regulate
labor.
The n. G.. Legislator who erasps
these ideas and embodies them in the
forms,,,of law will lay the foundations Of
solid greatness in CIR noble old state.
and leave an imperishabie now for
himself.

Dear captain: For some time the

agitatIng the building OF a railroad from
Durham, \. g., to IL uchburg, a., and
opening up the vast minerals ard ag.I-
cultural rc>urceS Of as magnificent a see
ton OF country as any on the American
continent. The friends Of this scheme
have not GespaiTed, and If the bill for a
charter had not been rushed through
the Virginia Legislature IN the last
hours OF the session, and failed to be
signed by the Governor before the Leg
~islature had adjourned. it would no
doubt have assumed practical shape by
this time. BY this failure the friends of
the enterprise in Virginia will have to
wait until the Legislature meets again
next December. They are not at all
discouraged, but will again apply for a
charter, and proiting by past experience
will press the mat er early III the season..
The feasibility and pra-tic2billty ofthe
road cannot be questioned by any one OF
a fair business mind. 1t is not a matter
OF conjecture, but d simple business cal
culation. Roxboio already has a charter

about two yards in length. and the firm

DING-DGNG CHARLEY.

Cases of mistaken identity are
 rarely pleasant, but a peculiarly
 distressing one quite recently
 took place in this city. A few
 days ago a well known business
 man, who is greatly addicted to duck shooting, in his pprambula-
 tions of San Pablo marsh, met d cOngenial friend whose face is familiar to frequenterS of Pine street. The two, after splendid days sport, returned to this city. On reaching the slips on this side, the merchant, in the fullness of his cordiality, invited his c0mpa- paniOn to dinner at his home, on --street. The congenial com panion demurred. Being a man fastidiOus about his dress, he feared to present himself to the family of his friend clothed in the rough garb of the hunter and bearing the miry evidence of the i chase. The objections were quickly overruled by the mer- chant. "You can use the bath room at my house," said he, ''anc than I can lend you clean shirt
 so you will be fixed all right This was satisfactory, aud so tht twain wended their way to tht abode of lhe entertainer. Or their arrival there the sportsman was at once shown to the bath room. Meanwhile the yOun. wife of the merchant was tOtali. unaware that stranger had bee brought into the house, and a she happened 10 pass the bath room door she saw n light, an
 very naturally thought that he
 husband was within. Accord
 ingly, without ceremony, sh
 pushed upon the door and wen
 in. The sportsman had diveste
 himself of everything in tn
 shape of clothing except his
 well WI. must say it-eXcept m
 shirt, and he was engaged dt th1
 very moment in the somewha
 ungr4ceful but necessary act drawing that garment over h.
