TIE ONLY FEATURE OF YESTERDAY IN THE ROUSE


THE DEMOCRATS AvTEsE TO PRESENT ACTION


AN ADVERSE VOTE OF SO TO 1877.


lBY TELEGRAPH To THE TglBUSEI


WASHINGTON. Feb 1.-the single interesting
feature in the House proceedings to-day was the vote
upon the financial resolution introduced By Eugene
Hale OF Maine. Tins resolution was similar to that
which he attempted to introduce earlier in the
session. and was in substance the one 10 which Mr.
Blaine spoke in the delivery of his great speech last
week II rccitcd the present condition of the de-
prcciatcd currency set forth the character of the
irredeemablc paper money, and showed that both Of
the gccat parties in the platforms adopted at their
party conventions are committed in favor of specie
resumption: aud then declared IT 10 be the sense Of
the House that prompt measures should be taken
10y such legislation is needed TO render cfectual
the policy Of resumption of specie payments, by
placing the hands Of the Secretary of the Treasury
all necessary power TO accomplish this object 10 the
end that 4 sound and suitable currency may be pro-
vidcd for the people.


This resolution received So affirmative and 1877
negative votes two-thirds being necessary for its
passage IL cannot he said that this resolution was
absolutely party vote does il indicate tho rel
alive strength of the innationsts and advocates of
hard money in the House The Republican hard
money vote was solid for the resolution. Not more
than five or six of those that side of the House
who arc in favor of n sound currency were absent.
Many harl-mOncy Democrats, on the other hand,
voted against the resolution the ground that they
do not wish 10 commit themselves to indefinite
measures that they do not believe in the policy laid
down III the act of Jan. II, 1879 and because this
whole subject has been submitted to their party
caucns and they d sire 10 wait for its action before
they give their support in any way to any financial
policy.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN A. G.. MOORE


It is with the sinceress sorrow that
we announce the death of Captain
Adolphus G. Moore, of Alamance
county, as gallant a gentlemen as ever
wore the gray.


Barely in the prime of life, with tenn
perate habits, with health and strength,
with no lack OF worldly goods. cheer
full in disposition and kindly in spirit,
the soul of honor, and though quick
TO resent an affront yet as quick to
forgive an injury, his life did indeed
seem to promise to be long and bright
and happy. Nor did il promise to be
more happy than useful; fer he was full
of intelligent, well-directed energy
and contributed no little to the great
success of the various industrial enter-
prises that have made Haw River
noted manufacturing centre in the
State.


Frank and fearless in his opinions
and outspoken in their expression. it is
no matter for surprise that he drew
upon himself the special hate of Radi-
cal officials in the days when Holden
could suspend the laws and Kirk and
his cut-throats could at their will out
rage thepeople of the county in which he
lived. Arrested and imprisoned to
await trial before a military commits
sion organized to convict and to shoot
its prisoners, neither threats nor vio-
lence could conquer for a moment his
dauntless spirit or stop the indignant
utterances he constantly breathed forth
against the men who were setting at
defiance the laws and outraging the
liberties of our people. History does
not record greater boidness that OF
Captain Moore when arrested and while
imprisoned at Yanceyville dunng
the Infamous Holden-Kirk war-a wal
the recollection of which will make
the blood of every true Caroiinian
boil with rage SO long as the memory
of it 81 all last.


Truly was he man who did honor
to his State and sad and full of sorro VI
are we as we remember that we shall
see his face no more.

dangerous to sleep in full moonshine as it is

rapid radiation, ard any person exposed to
such radiation is sure to be chilled by raDid

that under the circumstances paralysis of

occur from chill, as one side of the face ia

3 O'Clock in the morning the chill has heen
