A committee appointed to confer with Mr Cochran, who desired to be received as a student of theology, reporting favorably, he was recommended to attend the theological seminary. The committee appointed to examine the candidates for licensure reported that Mr II Macaulay and Mr Orr had stood satisfactory examinations, and recommended that they be licensed by tbe Presbytery at this time as probationers.

It having been represented to the Board that the nearness of the depot of the Atlanta Air-Line Rail road in, the city of Charlotte, to one of the principal highways, causes the obstruction of the said highway, and that the stopping of trains over the street crossing occasions the delay of persons entering and leaving the city and result in much inconve nience, it was ordered by the Board that Alex ander, Hayes and Stewart be appointed a committee to confer and co-operate with thcMayor and Board of Aldermen of the city of Charlotte to the end that such relief may be obtained as may be right and proper.

Lee Aj iMroiiTAXT Opinion of the Attorney Gen eral IN KEGARD TO JURISDICTION OP JUSTICES OK the Peace in Criminal Matters. In reply to a letter of inquiry from a Justice of the I'cace from Washington county, Attorney-General Kenan says uai accoraiug 10 Art. 4, oec. i 01 the amended State Constitution Justices of the Peace have furisdiction "of all criminal matters. where the punishment cannot exceed a nne oi fifty dollars, or imprisonment for thirty days" in stead of one month as heretofore.

In the case to which you allude the statute fixes the imprisonment at one month, which means a calendar month, and therefore varying from twenty-eight to thirty-one days and an imprisonment fr "one month" under tbe statute may exceed the constitutional limit State vs. Upchurch, 73 N. C. 140. I think therefore that sucb cases the Justices should bind over to the Superior Court." Raleigh Observer.

Instead of binding over to the Superior Court, and imposing additional expense on the counties, why cannot the Justices sentence to imprisonment jfor thirty days, or, to avoid all danger of a conflict vnjh the statute or Constitution, say 28 days. That wouid be better (and certainly legal) than crowding up the Superior Court dockets with such cases. iii Death of M. Thiers. A telegraphic dispatch, dated London, September 3d, contains the announcement of the death of M.

Theirs. The dispatch says: "The attack which carried off ex-President Theirs was short. It is called in France opoplexie fyndrgandt. He was apparently in good health in and took his usual walk af ter luncheon. He felt symptoms of illness, which speedily developed into an apoplectic fit He remained unconscious and died at six o'clock, apparently without pain.

Na event short of a cotp de ttat or a communistic rising could have created so profound an impression throughout Frauce as will this. Its effect on the present political crisis cannot yet be weighed M. Gambetta is now without a rival in the republican party but his advanced views are so alarming to the left center that the, republican rarty as a whole will probably seek to counteract the evil cflecu of M.

SEUT" Archie Gord6n, a Revolutionary soldier who has numerous descendants living in this county, was the father of 27 sons, by his wife Caroline Gordon, 7 of whom were born during 24 months. At the Whig Convention, which assembled in Raleigh in 1840 old Archie was escorted through the streets in a four horse carriage, with a flag floating over it, bearing the in scription "Archie Gordon, the Whig father of 27 Whig sons."

Ten eyes to 7 persons. Oxford Torchliqht. Extra Session of Congress. It is evident that the Administration does not expect to have a very serious time with Congress when it meets on the loth oi October. The only matters that will he laid before that body by the President in his special message will be the Army Appro- nriotmn liill inl flio ofi I'm nn xr -rVki flirt Inct ll 1UWIVU Vlti U1JVL V- I 1U1 VUU llfc-JW quarter ol the last fiscal year in the pay of tho Tt.nt.

A tn the Secretary of the Navv throw anv licht upon the mysterious deficit in the pay ac- mi mi mi count. There wi 1 be a o-eneral statement of the condition of the pay of the navy by the becretarv. with possibly some details from the Pay Department but the elaborate history of the demoralized state in which Secretary Robeson left the Navy Department will be reserved for the Secretary's annual report. I It is probable also that the Secretary of War-will submit, through the President, a general statement of the reasons of the various expedients resorted to for illegally -maintaining the army. Partic- ular stress will, of course, be laid upon the service renaerta Dy ine regular troops in T1 1 .1 suDDressing the riots: and it will be insist- ed that, had the Administration' disbanded the army because of the failure of the Army Bill, general anarchy must, have ensued in consequence of the Railroad strikers.

It is the expectations and belief of the Adminls- tration that Uongress will iortnwitn pass the Army bill nd the Navy Deficiency bill, and then adjourn. From every indication it is evident that the President and his Cabinet5 do not expect Congress to be in session at the furthest longer than fifteen days, and then it is believed that a law will be passed making the first Monday after the first day of January the day ior the regular meeting of Congress. That this is the Administration Frogramme I have no doubt neither have any doubt as to the signal failure of this Erogramme. In the first place there will be alf a dozen investigations set on foot just as soon as the House organizes and the regular committees are appointed. There will be an inquiry into the method which were adopted to maintain the army.

There will be another to nnd out what became oi the navy pay. There will be others to get at the secrets of the Pacific Coast Ring, the management of the San Francisco Mint, the conduct of the 3Iare Island navyyard, the entry of desert land, and the stealing of timber lands California by the means of soldiers' land warrants issued on forged ap- ditinnG Tlioeo inoetio-atinTis wi II he started by the Democrats and the Radical Republicans will open up the Louisiana business by ail inquiry into the conduct of the Jilcv eigh commission which counted Packard out. I I the Senate there will be no lack of live liness either. There are several nominations which wrill make things warm in executive a rm 11 session. Aitosetner nis n.xceiiency wm find that the special session of Congress will run until the first of December, and that there will be music in the air on more than one account.
