jtfiiors Dispatch : The Dispatch is the
leading paper in this section of the State,
and voor position on the public debt the
true one, and receives all praise from the
people.' North Carolina Is beginning to
feel the blighting effects of not having made
anv provision for paying the interest on
her public debt for several years. Would
that we bad a Richmond Dispatch at Ra
leigh.
The Narrow-Gauge railroad, completed
to this place Just one month ago, is now
running a regular schedule, and connects
with passenger trains bath ways on the
Richmond and Danville railroad. From
the receipts so far the road bids fair-to be a
?rand success, and it seems to make busi
ness daily. A telegraph wire connecting
Xjilton with the rest of the world will
shortly be pnt up along the line of road.
What" is a railroad without a telegraph?
Tli^v both go together.
The Po>tmaster-Gcneral has notified the
postmaster at Milton that on and after
Monday, March ISth, the mails will be ear
ned by the railrcad, and the route to Wbit
Icek, Va., discontinued. This guarantees
our mail-4 daily and with certainty, whereas
M t!;e old route they wore cut off by high
water, and frequently twenty-four "hours
behind time. (Jetting the Dispatch the
same day it is published .will increase its
circulation in t!)is town, for it is pro
nounced byaU the newspaper of Richmond.
.Milton, by degrees, is beginning to feel the
e fleets of the railroad. Some talk of new
routes going up this spring, strangers al
most every day prospecting, and any num
ber of letters from strangers, asking al! sorts
of questions about the town and its pros
pects. Upon the whole, we think, in the
early fall things will be lively, and the old
town co right ahead. What we want is some
live men to make the start. Alec.

A young woman, not yet twenty years
old. whose home is in Virginia, but who
has been visiting Tor some months with re
latives in northeast Baltimore, called recent
ly at the station-house and told a sad story
of desertion and loss of happiness. During
htr visit in Baltimore a young man of at
tractive personal manners and appearance
had paid constant attentions to her, and an
engagement for marriage was consummated.
On tl?e promise of marriage the young man
had ltd her astray, and had deserted her
entirely. On Wednesday she saw him on
the street, and he, to keep out of her pre
sence, ciossed the street and turned off i?
another direction. This token of complete
desertion drove her to seek redress at law.
Htr family in Virginia, she believed, had
beard of her troubles, and she could not re
turn home, while she did not wish to remain
longer with her relatives in Baltimore. She
was of very prepossessing appearance and
neatly dressed. She was advised that tbe
law of the criminal code would hardly reach
the case or punish the offender, and that
her only alternative would be a suit at law
for breach of promise. She was deeply
affected at her recital of her wrongs, and
seemed almost dazed at her deserted condi
tion.? Baltimore Sun, loth.

VEGETIKE.
QANCER CAN BE CURED.
The following- extraordinary cure of a cancer,
which had been pronounced beyond the teach of
medicine by the best medical skill of New England,
certainly merits the most profound attention of '.lie
medical facility, many of whom are now daily pro
scribing Vegetixe in New England, where it has
already become flruily established, and is recognized
by all clashes of people to be the only reliable Blood
Purifier.
YEGET1NE.
APPROVED STATEMENT.
ClIABLESTOWX, MASS.
Mr. II. It. Stevens :
Dear Sir,? Iu the year .1800, while residing at
Portland, Me., I was atllictcd with a cancer on my
nose, which made rapid promts. All of the best
physicians there were consulted without any bene
fit. For a period of six yearc it continued to in
crease aud extend, until it was invading my whole
system. I suffered the most excruciating pains,
until ray nose was nearly gone, and I found it was
approaching a fatal termination, Btiug bnrut out
of house and home by the great lire of 18GG, I
moved fcerc, when I was entreated to try tlie Vege
tixe, and. suffering greatly, wlihout hope or confi
dence in relief by any medicine, I finally consented
to try it; and onlv tlio?e who have a similar su tier
ing can realize my feelings when, after two months1
trial, I found the open sore commencing to heal.
Gaining coulidence that the disease was being suc
cessfully combattcd bv the VEGETIXE (for I took
no other medicine). I faithfully continued itsuio.
and in six months tlie cancer was healed and my
health fully restored.
1 am coi lldent If I had used Vegetixe in the
early stages of thc'discase it would have arrested its
progress and saved years of great suffering. I de
sire simplv that others may be benefited and atten
tion called to its usefulue s: nnd. in the luterest of
pufft-rlnK hHmanity only, I cheerfully add my testi
monial to its entire success In my case; and,
though 1 have lost nearly all of my nose, rav face is
entirely healed and I enjoy good health. My hus
band loins Willi me in approving this statement.
MRS. JOHN PATTERSON,
30 Everett street.
Fully concurring in the above.
JOHN PATTERSON.
The above statement is from ouc who was a great
sufferer for many years, trying many physicians and
many remedies, and not finding relief until trying
this remedy? the Vegetixe. Does it not conclu
sively show the search I ui', cleansing, purifying, and
healing qualities of the Yegetine ? Have you any
doubt about trying the Vegetixe for diseases of the
blood ? If you have, reference can be given to over
five hnndreel who have voluntarily given testimony
of its cures.
ALL DISEASES OF THE IJLOOD.
If Yegetixe will relieve pain, cleanse, p.irify,
and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to per
fect health after trying different physicians, many
remedies, suffering for years, is it not conclusive
proof, if you are a sufferer, vou call be cured ? Why
is this medicine performing such great, cures? it
works in the blood? in the circulating fluid. It can
truly be cat led the GREAT BLOOD-PURIF1EK.
Tne gr^at source of disease originates m the blood;
and no medicine that doe? not act directly upon it, to
purify and renovate, has any just claim upon public
attention.
SEVENTY-ONE YEARS OF AGE.
East Marsiifielc.
Mr. Stevens:
Dear Sir,? I am seventv-one years of age ; have
suffered many years with Kidney-Complaint, weak
ness in my back and ftomacti. I was induced by
friends to try your Vegetixe. aud I think it the
be3t medicine for weakness of the kidneys I ever
used. I have tried many remedies for this com
plaint, and never found so much relief as from the
Vegetixe. it strengthens and invigorates the
whole system. Many of my acquaintances have
taken It, and I believe it to be good for all the eom
plaiuts for wbicn it is recommended.
Yours truly, JOSIAH H. SHERMAN.
A VALUABLE REMEDY.
SOUTH BOSTON.
Mr. Stevens:
Dear Sir.? I have taken feveral bottles of your
Vegetixe, and am convinced it Is a valuable rem
edy for Dyspepsia, Kidney Complaint, and general
debilitv of the system. . _ ,
I can heartily recommend It to all suflerlng from
the above complaints. Yours respectfully.

[From Our Regular Correspondeut.J
Washington, March 15.? The Committee
of Ways and Means is in session to-nfgbt,
and hopes, before adjourning, to finish the
rates of duty of the entire tariff bill. It is
rumored that quinine has been placed on
the free list. To-day the most important
thing done by the committee for our peo
ple was the placing of goat-skins on the
free list and leaving the duty on sumac as
it is in the present tariff bill. Virginia, it
is stated, sold ?500,000 worth of sumac last
year, and the value of this article depends
on the manufacture of goat-skins into
rocco. Peruvian and similar bi^ks, and
cochineal, were also put upon the^ec list,
and the essential oils, which are free under
the present tariff, are to pay a duty of 10
per cent.
Tho committee, when through with the
rates of duty, will disposo of "free ships,"
and adopt the necessary machinery for car
rying out the provisions of the bill. This
will enable them at an early day next week
to take up"'
TOBACCO AND THE INCOME TAX.
On a reduction of the tobacco-tax to 10c.
per pound the vote, your correspondent,
feels certain, will stand as follows: For
reduction, Messrs. Tucker of Virginia, Har
ris of Georgia, Robbins of North Caro
lina, Pheips of Connecticut, Gibson of Lou
isiana, and Taylor of Ohio ; acrainst reduc
tion, Messrs. Garfield, Banks, and Kelly.
For reduction to 20c. per pound, Mr. Bur
chard of Illinois. Mr. Wood of New York
is reported as in favor of reduction,
The large cities of the North and West
are sending in voluminous petitions against
the income-tax, but the committee will, it
is believed, report the bill prepared by
Messrs. Tucker and Burehard, the provi
sions of whien arc known to the readers of
those dispatches.
SENATE COMMITTEES.
The Senate was not in session to-day, but
some of its committees were. The Com
mitter on Territories ordered witnesses to.
he summoned to testify, under the resolu
tion of Mr. Yoorhees, as to what bonds
have been sold by railroads to which lands
in the Indian territory were granted by the
Government, and by whom said bonds are
now held. There will be developments in
this investigation.
Commissioner liaum, Assistant-Secretary
Haw ley, and other officials, were before the
Senate Committee on Appropriations to
day, and asked that the House appropria
tion for temporary clerks, Arc., be increased.
The subject- will be further considered
Monday.
PERSONAL ITEMS.
By advice of his physician, Mr. Cabell,
who has been very sick for some weeks,
went to-day to Old Point. Judge NowliD,
assistant postmaster of the House, 1s confined
to his bed with pneumonia. On the whiskey
relief resolution yesterday the vote of the
Virginia delegation stood as follows:
Messrs. Goode, Tucker, Harris, Hunton,
and Jorgensen for it, Mr. Pridcmore against
it, and Messrs. Walker and Douglass absent
and Mr. Cabell sick. Governor Walker re
turned from New York this morning and
was in his seat to-day. Colonel Thomas J.
Evans occupied a seat in the reporters' gal
lery or the House to-dav during the debate
on the Massachusetts contested-election
case.
THE WHISKEY-RELIEF RESOLUTION".
The high-wines men ot* Illiuois were op
posed to the whiskey-relief resolution, and
hence the vote fron> that State against it.
Mr. Morrison, however, refused* to vote
against it, saying he would not destroy one
whiskey interest to help another. The
Louisville whiskey firm that suspended the
other day paid the Government ?900,000
per annum .tax, and this relief will enable
it to work out of its difficulties. Several
Democrats would have changed their votes,
as did General Chalmers, of Mississippi,
from the negative to the affirmative, if it had
been necessary. Small, the negro congress
man from South Carolina, voted "No." Mr.
Beck and other senators will, when the res
olution reaches the Senate, earnestly urge
its adoption.
VIRGINIA SEACOAST MATTERS.
Mr. Goode went, before the Committee on
Commerce to-day and advocated the bill for
repairing and remodelling the Ciipe-Henry
Fight-house. This is one of the oldest on
the coast, having; been erected in 1791, and
is one of the lights to prevent disasters on
the dangerous Hatteras coast. The Light
Ilouse Hoard was requested to furnish es
timates, and the necessary appropriation
A'ill be made by Congress. . Owing to the
sickness of Mr. Cabell, chairman of the
sub-committee, no action has been taken
on the bill for the relief of the Dismal
Swamp canal. The bill appropriating ?75,
000 for cleaning out North Landing river
and putting lights on Currituck sound is
pending before the House Commfttee on
Commerce.
MR. CONGER ANJ) THE TARIFF.
Mr. Conger says he does not propose to
introduce a resolution to the effect that it is
inexpedient to revise the present tariff, as
hrts been reported, but simply one declaring
that a general revision is inexpedient. This
adopted, he would be willing to revise the
tariff on certain subjects. He believed the
I Michigan delegation are a unit against a
general revision.
THE COMMITTEE REPORT AGAINST COLONEL
POLK.
The committee to-day agreed upon a re
port in Colonel Polk's case, and all admit
that seven were against him. Some sav
there were three for him and one absent;
others that two were for him, and two asked
to read the testimony before taking posi
tion. A member of Congres? ? a warm
friend of Colonel Polk? informs your cor
respondent that seven voted to abolish the
office and four to sustain Colonel Tolk. Of
the seven he ^ays three were Democrats and
four Republicans. The four tor him were
Democrats. I believe' that the report will
recommend the abolisment of tho ofiiee and
confer tho duties, of doorkeeper upon tho
sergeant-at-arms. There will be an assist
ant to him, who will havo charge of the
floor. Among those mentioned for door
keeper is Mojor-General Fields, of Vfr
. - . . .. .
ginia, formerly of the United States army.
There Is ajeglon. ot probable candidates,
however. " /
DEAX V6. FIELD.
- The Committee on JSIecflons reported that
Mr. Dean, Democrat, of Massachusetts, is
entitled to t be seat occupied by Mr. Field,
Republican ; but in tbe discussion to-day
Messrs. Calendar, of Georgia, and Potter,
of New York (Democrats), opposed Dean's
claim?, and General Butler was in favor of
seating him. There was a good deal of ex
citement manifested, and Republicans came
to tbe Democratic side while Messrs. Calen
dar and Potter were speaking. It does not
seem by any means certain that Mr. Dean
will be seated. The discussion will be re
sumed Monday. '
DEATH OF A MEMBER.
The Secretary of State received a telegram
to-day from the United States consul at Ha
vana that Judge Leonard, a member or
Congress from Louisiana, died there this
morning of yellow-fever. This fact was
communicated to tbe House at half-past 4
by the Speaker, when that body adjourned
as a mark of respect to his memory. Mr.
Ellis prefaced his motion to adjourn with a
feeling tribute to the worth of his deceased
colleague, Judge Leonard was a Republi
can, and only thirty-two years old. lie was
educated in Europe, and was made supreme
judge of Louisiana when about twenty-five
years of age. He was aPcunsylvanian by
birth. It was rumored that he bad gone to
Cuba to inquire into the truth of the state
ment that negroes were being taken from
Florida and sold as slaves in that island.
This, however, was denied.
SILVER CERTIFICATES FOB CIRCULATION. ?
The Committee on Bankingaud Currency
this afternoon agreed to report a bill for the
issue of certificates from ?10 upwards for
all silver bullion, counting the bulliou at
its equivalent in silver coin dollars, less cost
of mintage and transportation to points
where tbe certificates are redeemable. The
deposit is to be made and the certificates
issued at any mint or assay office? -to be re
deemable in silver coin or bullion at ban
Francisco where certificates were issued
west of the Rocky Mountains, and New
York where issued east. These certificates
are to be lesal teuder for all public dues.

NEW LAW FOR THE CLASSIFICATION OF MAIL
MATTER.
The Committee on Post-Offices and Post
Routes of the House have nearly completed
the bill for the classification of mail matter
and rates of postage thereon. Mail matter
is divided into four classes? lirst, written
matter; second, printed matter of two
kinds? privileged and ordinary; tliird,
forced and sample merchandise; fourth,
merchandise.
The rates now existing will probably not
be cnanged, but the classification is simpli
fied. The bill will prohibit the carrying of
mail matter outside the mails, and authorize
the Postmaster-General to i^e returned
postal-cards and accumulated letters, sheets,
and envelopes. The committee is divided
as to whether any distinction should be
made in the rates on second class matter or
whether the rates should be uniform. Sev
eral votes were taken on this question, and
although undecided the probability is that
the law will remain as it is, making the
rates two and three cents per pound.
Chairman Waddell will report the bill, as
soon as perfected, for printing.
VARIOUS ITEMS.
The Committee on Banking and Currency
have agreed to report a bill for certificates
on silver deposits redeemable at New York
or San Frane&coand receivable for all Gov
ernment dues.
The body of Leonard, the member of
Congress who died at Havana of yellow

XLVTH CONGRESS? Second Session.
Washington*, March 15, 1878.
SENATE.
The Senate was not in session to-day.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
When the House was called to order this
morning the Speaker said : 44 The Chair be
lieves it his duty, though it is a very pain
ful one, to lay a communication berore the
House." He then handed to the clerk and
had read a telegram from the Secretary of
State announcing the death at Havana of
yellow-fever of the Hon. J. E. Leonard, of
Louisiana, who was recently sent thither by
President Hayes to see about some Florida
negroes alleged to have been kidnapped and
sold into slavery in Cuba.
Mr. Ellis, of Louisiana, said : "I am sure
the announcement just made will carry sin
cere regret to every heart that beats here;
and to those who knew Judge Leonard
well, who had opportunities to meet him
socially, this announcement will carry very
great sadness. It is not my purpose now
to enter into any detailed account of his
life o:* public service, nor to "eulogize
tbose shining virtues which bound bim to
those who knew him well? virtues not of
the head, but of the heart. At another and
more fitting occasion it will be my duty to
pay proper tribute to my late colleague. I
therefore move that in respect to the memory
of Judge Leonard the House do now ad
journ."
The motion prevailed, and the House, at
4:40, adjourned until to-morrow.

RUN ON A SAVINGS BANK? ARREST OF POLYGA
MISTS, &C.
Boston, March 15.? A run on the Five
Cent Savings Bank is in progress here,
caused by a rumor that it intended to en
force the.sixty-days notice. It is one of tlie
largest savings banks in the State, and there
is no reason to doubt its soundness.
The State detectives made a raid yester
day on the town of Sheetsburc, in this
State, where they arrested a number of men,
charged with living in open polygamy.
They were held in bonds for trial before the
Superior Criminal Court for Frauklin coun
ty. It is alleged tliat many others will be
arrested for the same ofience, an attempt
evidently having been made to establish a
Mormon settlement at Tewksbury.
The run on the savings bank which com
menced yesterday has developed a general
panic among savings-bank depositors.
School street, where the Five-Cent Bank is
located, has been blockaded by a crowd to
day, and the excitement has been intense.
The committee which has been engaged in
examining the securities of the bank for
the past two weeks state that after deduct
ing all depreciated assets, embracing stocks,
bonds, &e., which the bank has sutl'ered
since the last statement was made, and al
lowing ?102,000 to pay April interest, the
bank will still have a surplus of ?120,000.
The uneasiness still continues, and is
spreading to other bank*.

LIVERPOOL GRAIN MARKET.
Liverpool, March 15.? A leading grain
circular says: " The country arain markets
remain in a lifeless state, and arc generally
one shilling per quarter lower for wheat or
the spot. Only a retail business passed
from day to day, prices ruling nominally au
on Tuesday. The number of cargoes oil'
the coast is bcin^ slowlv reduced; occa
sionally the Contiucnt takes one or two.
The inquiry for that direction continues,
but it is not active. This market to-day
was thinly attended."

Constantinople, March 15.? It is untrue
that the Porte lias given orders to prevent
any more British meu-of-war from passing
the Dardanelles. Mr. Layard bas-recentlv
obtained a finnan permitting the passage of
the Hotspur and Coudon," which vessels are
expected in the Gulf of Is mid shortly. Mr.
Layard has also received permission to send
the Rapid* to the Albanian coast to em
bark refugees.
Austria.
Vienna, March 15.-? The Budget commit
tee of the Austrian delegation has adopted,
by a vote of 11 to 9, a resolution lo the
effect that in the event of Eastern affairs
reuderin<r a display oi military force neces
sary for the protection of their essential in
terests the common government is empow
ered to incur, with the assent of the Aus
trian and Hungarian ministers, an expen
diture not exceeding GO, 000,000 florins.
The Political Correspondence publishes a
letter from a diplomatic source in Paris
which asserts that France at the congress
will endeavor to bringabout a compromise,
and wiU refuse to take part in or sanction
any partition or radical change of terri
tory.
Bulgaria.
London, March 15.? A dispatch from
Vienna to the Manchester Guardian says:
"It is announced semi-ollicially from St.
Petersburg that Prince Battenberg, the
Czar's nephew, has been definitely pro
posed for the throne of Bulgaria."
The European Conffross.
London, March 15.? A special to the
Times from St. Petersburg announces the
arrival there of General Ijrnatieff and Keoul
Pasba, and tbe Times's Berlin correspond
ent states that the early meeting of the con
gress is no longer possible. Russia displays
no particular anxiety for it to meet at all, "in
consequence of England's and Austria's de
mand that the whole treaty be submitted.
London, March 15 ? The Vienna corre
spondent of the Times says that Russia does
not contesL the right of the congress to de
cide what clauses of the treaty involve Eu
ropean interests. England demands that
the congress shall have power to discuss all
clause*. Neither Power seems disposed to
give way. Thus, unles-j compromise is ar
ranged, fresh difficulties? and not formal
one9 merely? may arise, causing delay, if
nothing worse.
London, March 15.? Italy and Germany,
while assenting in the principle to the ad
mission of Greece to the congress, think
the cougress should formally decide the
matter. Austria concedes it, but is willing
to have the matter decided before the meet
ing if the question of admission of vassal
States is not thereby prejudiced.
Athens, March 15.? The Official Journal
announces that Russia has rejected the pro
posal for the admission of Greccc to the
congress. Public feeling is consequently
much excited against Russia.
The Times's Paris correspondent reports
that Servia has formally claimed admission
to the congres-s. It is now certain England
has unreservedly adhered to the French
proposition for the investigation into the
financial affairs of Egypt and the adminis
trative reforms. Nobody will oppose Eng
land from freeing Egypt from vassalage if
she acts in accord with the other Powers.
All the Powers have agreed that the ques
tions of Egypt, Syria, aud the Holy places
can only be raised at the congress with the
consent of France, and within ttic limits
she prescribes.
Not ?Inch of a Show After All.
London, March 15.? The Wmes's leading
editorial artlclc says: " The Russians are
making further advances towards the Bos
phorus. Our Government must have satis
lied themselves that the virtual command of
Constantinople gave Russia no insuperable
advantage, and we may therefore view with
comparative indifference the movements,
which arc in no way more alarming than
those in which we have acquiesced."
