Since the passage of the tariff bill
both the House and Senate have been
mainly engaged in appropriation bills
and in other routine work Among
the measures of local interest to North
Carolinians are the StatesviIle and
Charlotte buildings bills. Messrs. Jo-
seph P. Caldwell and F. Brevard Me
Dowell are now here hoping to be able
to hel p influence the Executive not to
veto either bill. The Charlatte bill
appropriates $4,000. The States
vile bill appropriates $4,000.
Within the last thirty days num-
Der of new postofices of minor impor.

routes, and open up to the world for
the first time through daily communi

The Democrats of the Ways and
Means Committee have determined
to use all the proceedings of the Com
mittee room in order to confound any
Republican who may make any dec
laration in debate about the principles
and the intentions of the Republican
party in regard to any branch of the
tariff subject For this purpose the
Democrats called meeting of the
Committee last Wednesday, and on
motion of Mr. Breckenridge, OF Ken
lucky, resolved to remove the injunc-
ton of secrecy from the proceedings
Of the committee during that period.
The record will not be published, but
the Democrats will divulge the facts
whenever they &C neeive it IT, be ed
vantayeous In regard To the sugar
duty which the Republicans appear
now to have almost unanimously
agreed To reduce or alb 'lish, it is said
that in the Committee of Ways and
Meaus the Republicans to n man voted
against ANY reduction whatever, The
Senate's tariff bill will probably moi
be reported t, The Senate before heX'
