the people next fall the questions
of calling n constitutional cOnven.
ton will pass both branches of the
General Assembly, and unless every
effective measures in the line of re-.

certain that the people will vote for

not likely that the expenses of the
State will bo sufficiently cut down
aud enough amendments to the con.
stitution adopted to make it unneces-
sary TO call a convention. Mr.. With.

the Senate committee yesterday and
with very slight amendments.

tions like those in force at the peDi.
Tertiary, the State Farm and the re-
formatory, except ample and full
provision shall be made for cells or
rooms where they are kept (Which

itent!ary.)'
The bill provides further that the
Governor or Board of Public Work
shall secure from the lessees as much
additional per day for each man and

months after date of the bond to
acquire land, construct buildings,
assemble machinery, and put in op-
Grafton within the State a factory

BURIED BY REPUBLICANS.
Party Lines Almost unbroken in the Teller
Resolution Vote.

Washington. Jan. 3l.-The House
of Representatives today buried the
Teller Resolution, declaring the
bonds of the United States payable
in silver, under an adverse majority
of fifty votes.
The Republicans were solidly ar
rayed in opposition with two ex-
ceptions, MIR. Linney, of North Car
olina, who voted with the Democrats
and Populists, and Mr.. White, of
North Carolina, the only colored
member of the House, who answered
present" when his name was called.
The desertions from the Democratic
were MIR. McAleer. of Pennsylvania,
and Mr.. Elliott of South Carolina.
Both voted with the Republicans
against the proposition.
Speaker Reed, although it is not
Gust omary for him to vote, had his
name called and amid the cheers of
his followers went on record in op-
position to the resolution.
The vote was reached after five
hours OF debate under special order
adopted at tie opening of the ses-
sion today. The time allowed for
debate being so limited, and the de
nands of members for an opportuni-
ty to be heard was so great, that the
leaders on both sides were compelled
to farm out the time by minutes
This distracted much from the con-
;inuity of tie discussion; but i; also
in n measure intensified the interest
The galleries were crowded all
day long, aud the combatants on the
floor were cheered by their respect
live sympafhizers. Manv Of the SEN
ators from the other end OF the Cap
itol were also present to listen TO tbs
arguments. The majority, under
the leadership of Mr.. Dingley, who
made carefully prepared speech
sounding the keynote of opposition,
assumed the position that the last
clause Of the resolution was in real
ity disguised declaration for the
free coinage Of silver, while the
Democrats, under the direction OF
MIR. Bailey, maintained that the de
feat of the resolution was another
step in the direction of the establish
ment of che gold standard, to which
they alleged both the President and
Secretary Gage had irrevocablly
committed the Republican party.
The debate al times was fast and
heated, but there were no sensation
al Incidents beyond the kissing Of
MIR. Rhea, of Kentucky, when he
said that, as the author of ''the crime
of 49," the hottest place in Hades
would be reserved for the present
Secretary of State.
The vote on the resolution was,
ayes 1872; nays 1872.

Change in Color OF Postage Stamps.

Postmaster General Gray has
issued an order changing the color
of the one-cent stamp from blue to
green. In about two weeks he will
follow this by another order, chang
ing the brown five-cent stamp to a
dark blue. This action is in ac-
cOrdance with the resolution
adopted at the Universal Postal
Congress, making uniform the col.
Ors Of the one cent, two cent and
five-cent stamps, or their equiva
Tents. No change Will be made in
the color Of the twO-cent stamp.

COUNTY COURTS JURISDICTION
The bill to increase the jurisdic-
ton of the county courts as to all
matters pertaining to contracts
passed the Senate after considerable
debate. Mr.. Munford said he re-
garded the bill as probably the most
important that had come before this
Legislature. 1t would be boon to
country people, such as they had not
been given for years, if ever. II
would have the effect of attracting
capitul to the country, because it
would enable leaders of money to
obtain it under legal process as
quickly as if loaned in the city. He
was very desirous of seeing the bill
passed, for the sake, chiefly, of those
residing in country districts whose
prosperity was of such great impor-
tance to the State. Mr.. Withers op
posed the bill.
Mr.. Il. w. Berry has introduced
a bill in the House to amend the
election laws, so that an elector, in
preparing his ballot, may require
the presence of either or both OF the
other judges while the ballot is being
prepared by one Judge, and they
shall witness the preparation of the
ballot or see that it is prepared as
the elector may direct.

ABOUT BLACKTON.

In writing up the recent Child
rens' Day exercises at Blackton q
few weeks since the name of Mrs.
DIR. Gray as one of the assistants
in the work Of training the child
rem, was left out by mistake of the
printer or otherwise. The good
lady is one of the leading workers
in the noble cause at Blackton.
From some cause the regular
Blackton correspondent has been
"off" for the past few weeks. We
presume that there was some good
cause and that Blackton Blinkings
will soon appear regularly again
in the ARGUS, as it has done for
the past two or three years. II
has always been an interesting let
ter from an interesting people.

Where are Misses Cuba and
Little Red Riding Hood, also Ned,
Rufus, Dot and Blacktonian? We

We have disease among
horses that we are unable to solve.
They break out in sores about 3
inches wide and 4 or 5 inches
long. The sores do not extend
very deep. The horse becomes
very weak in many instances dies.
Can any one tell us what it is and
what to do for it?
Some of the young people
should be more guarded in their
manners at prayer meeting. Last
Sunday night some of them acted
ridlculously bad by whispering
and laughing during services.
Now, young ladies it looks like
you could find time enough out

talk and ! trust that / may never
have to call your attention to this
fact anymore.
