This body assembled for the trans action of business on last Monday at South Washington. We learn that no business of imoor- tine was transacted further than the iiliing of two of the county ofliees mido vacant by the failure of the per sons elected thereto, to give their bonds. These vacancies were filled by the Commissioners, by the election of t-vo of their number. A. V. llorrell was elected Sheriff, rice A. Gamberg, who failed to givo b Mid, and C. W.

Miss Patterson recently read at the Yaiietits Theatre, in New Orleans, to a large audieuce, of which occasion the '1'i.ncx nays: "Miss Patterson was welcomed by a numerous concourse of people, representing the world of in teil g'-nce and fashion, and prepared, moreover, to extend to the fair dtbu j tante a caeeiiug measure of favor.

The last sad rites, so far as our im mediate citizens are concerned, were paiel to the mortal remains of Mr. Charles! F. Harri-?, of Concord, on Sun elay anel yeterda3. Sunday morning the remains were taken to Masonic llali, Library Room, under the escoit oi quite a number of Masons and memb'-is of the Press, i'hroughout Sunday and Sunday night members of the Masonic order remain ed with the body, which was encase-il in a ha mis j mo metallic coffin, ujion which was laid the Masonic apron, and a cross and boquct of beautifully ar ranged white flowers. Yesterday moruing.at an early hour, the remains wer.3 e.ccoited to the ele- iet of t'ne Carolina Central Railway, ov a large de'eg itiu from St John s anel Wiimingtoii Lodges of Masons, anel by members of the North Caroliua Pre'ss Association, i qua! number of each acting ua pall bearers. Mr. E. Wescott, of St. John's Lodge, of this city, and Mr. ll. AI. Furman, of the Ashevilie Cithtn, pcted as an escort to Charlotte, m charge of the remains. It was with a sail heart we turned from the depot, recolhcting how, less than one weak since1, ui u the same spot, we grasped the outstretched hand of emr genial and warm hearted friend with a kindly welcome, to our city, ex-pres-ing aiid reeeivjng in turn the pleasure of the meeting anel the bright isnt cipa'ioes of t::e week. Alas, how eadiv ended ! Our friends of tho Raleigh JVews, Messrs. Stone ami Cameron, who were with us last w ek, evidently enjoyed their trip on the Jiah kh, judging by their comments ou the same. We copy the following interesting descrip tion from yesterday's Xt'icn : This line steamer, in which the Press Association made their peasant excursion down the Cape Fear river, and out to sea- ov-r the main bar, is one of a fleet of four owneel by the Baltimore and Wilmington Steamship Company ; the eame company also owning three steamers lunnmg be tween Wiimiigton aid New York. The J?(t'ti(i is commanded by Capt. Oliver, who was a long time in the Bio trade, and who has earned his right to his present comparatively light duties by the high character he has earueel as a'seamau in a more laborious and dan gerous service. The J 'ah '.. is a vessel of fo0 tons, riggeil as a three masted schooner, but elependt-nt mainly upon Fteam lor motive power. She is a propeller, with an ngme of about 130 horse power. The engine is low pressure, convertible if neeess-.ry into ln'gdi pres- Mir. If we were able to give a tech j mcai description of the engine we I con id not afford the space. It will be i snlfieient to say : under the intelli- g nt explanations e f the engineer, Mr. j W. Catrup. we were made to under I stand the workings of the beautiful machinery, and appreciated the docil i irv us weil as the oower of steam in scientific banels. The Hah icjh is a freight vessel ex c'usi ely, though apparently far too beautiful and highly finished to be de voted to such servile work. Bij,t she hfls come ou with others of her class to do most important work. These steamers have aiuiest displaced the coasting schoou- rs, emee the meelium of traffic between Wilming on and the Northern ports. But one steamer does at - ne trip the work of two schooners. A steamer moreover makes four trips to one of a tchooner. The conse quence is that while the appearance of the port of Wilmin'gton is less striking than it was once frem the dimunitiou in the number of masteel vessels, still the business is really much larger. The Raleigh is said to be an excel lent sea-bout, though the excursion party had no opportunity to test her qualities owiDg to the smoothness of the sea ; ten knots about eleven miles is her average speed an hour.

V. Pierck, Burial j, N. Y. : Dear Sir Your medicines, Golden Medical Discovery, Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, have proved of the greatest service to me. Six mouths ago no one thought that I could possibly live long. I had a complication of diseases scrofula, manifesting itself in erup tions and great blotches on my head that made such sores that I could not have my hair combed without causing me much suffering; also causing swol len glands, tonsils enlarged, enlarged or "thick neck," and large and numer ous boils. I also suffered from a ter rible Chronic Catarrh, and in fact I was so diseased that life was a burden to me. I had tried many doctors with no benefit. I finally procured one half dozen bottlea of your Golden Medical Discovery and one dozeu Sage's Catarrh Remedy and com menced their use. At hist I was badly ebscouraged, but after taking four bottles of the Discovery I began to improve, and when I had taken the re maining I was well. In addition to tha use of Discovery I applied a soluble Iodine to the Goitre or thick neck, as yeu advise in pamphlet wrapping, and it entirely elisappeared. Your Dis covery is certainly the most wonder ful blooei medicine ever invented. I thank God and you, from t he depths of my heart, for tie great good it has done me. ; Very gratefully, Mrs. L. Chaffee. Most medicines which are advertis- d as blood purifiers and liver medi cines contain either mercury, in some form, or potassium and iodine vari ously combined. All of these agents bave strong tendency to break down the biood corpuscles, and debilitate and otherwise permanently injure the humau system, and should therefore be discarded. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, ou the other hand, being composeel of the fluid extracts of native plants, bark.3 and roots, will in no case produce injury, its effects being strengthening and curative only. Sarsaparilla, which used to en joy quite a reputation as a blood pu rifier, is a remedy of thirty years ago, and may well give place as it is doing, to the more positive and valuable vegetable alteratives which later medical investigation and discovery has brought to light. In Scrofula or King's Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitree, Scrofulous Infiammations, Indolent Inflammation, Mercurial Affections, O'el Sores, Eruptions of the Skin and Sore Eyes as in all other blood dis eases Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has shown its great reme dial powers, curing the most obstinate and intractable cases.

AN INTERESTING WAR CASE IN THE SUPREME CORUT. THE GOVERNMENT STILL THE WHISKY BUSINESS. IN A NEW BUREAU ORGANIZED. BLACK HILL INDIANS IN WASH INGTON. Washington, May 17 Noon It is thought that Auditor Sheats' leave of absence to the first of July means ad infinitum. Bristow and Attorney-General Pierre pont had a prolonged consultation to-day about the whiskey fiasco, and it is understood that the elephant has been placed upon Commissioner Pratt shoulders. The Court of Claims to-day deliver ed an opinion in the case of Alexander li. P. Green, who iu 1864 was domi-ci'-d in Nashville, but just before the capture ot tuat city went further South, carrying with him a large amount ot money of a hrm for whom he was an endorser, and when leaving wb possessea oi certain buildings in Nashville which, in 1864, were seized by Supervising Treasury Agents as abandoneel property. The claimant averred in his petition that he wa. always a loyal citizen, but this (the uourt saiaj am not strengthen his case, as he voluntarily entered the enemy s line. The act of the seizure of ii t me property was a -war measuie and it made no difference wheth tx ii. was s.izeu Dy tne army or oy a ireasury agent. The claimant sought to recover on the grounds of an implied contract and the liability of the government for the Hj,-r,s or its omcers. xne court fays no action can be maintained on that ground, and that if the .claimant was entitled to recover he ought to have prosecuted Ins case under the aband oned property act, which he failed to do. lhe case was dismissed. The Court also decided the case of the Corliss Steam Encrine Companv The claimant had contracted with the Navy Department for the construction of steam engine". Sn.bfeqnently the department deeideel not to complete tne engines, anel iu accordance with a written agreement, the Company de livered the benlers, engines and ap purtanauces, at the Bostem Navy xam in their uunnisheel condition The Court, through Cnief Justiie Drake, said that the agreement be tween the claimant and the Navy De partment was singularly clear and al together free from taint. It was the duty of the Government to comply strictly with its obligations to the con tractor. Judgment was given in be half of the claimant to the amount of $257,688. A motion was made bv the Assist ant Attorney-General for a new trial ; iu the Elgee cotton case. lhe opinion m the Pacific Kailroad transportation cases will not be an nounced before next Monday, to which time the Court has adjourned.

The Black Hill Sioux Indians were at the Interier Department to-day and had a talk with the Indian Commis sioner. There was nothing new iu the interview which was pertaining to the regular business.

Owing to tha general suspension oi business to-day. our re view has been closed one day earlier this week than usual, and our quota tions ciose witu w ednesday s sales, COMMERCIAL EPITOME. Bus iness has picked up a little, under the influence of the genial weather and tne increased wants of the people in cident to the season. There is not mueh activity in any department, yet tne aggregate foots up respectably, and thu season seems like y to Le pro longeel to a longer period than usual, owing to the late cemmencement. For the last few days the weather has been extremely ceiol, which has checketl, to a certain extent, the traffic among the retail dealers of dry goods, &c, but the check is only temporary, and ex erts but little influence ou business. Money continues in abundauce to sup ply the current wants of borrowers. lhe export movement for the week shows a small falling off in the t-hip- ments in some articles, lhe snip- ments coastwise of foreign for the week were as follows-.Cottem 397,bales, spirits turpehtiue 1,137 casks, rosin 8,086 bbls, crude turpentine 101 bbls, tar 3,721 bbls, against: Cotton 678 bales, spirits turpentine 3.083 casks, resiu 13,910 bbls., crude turpentine 227 bbls, and tar 4,772 bbls., for the l est week. Ocean freights have been as active this week as iat, but the supply of tonnage offering has not been so large. The chief features of the market and the changes of prices ef most of the leading products and manufacture for the week were as follows: COITON The pat week has been the dullest one of the season in the Cotton market. While it my be said that prices in this market have been suht iiued at a point relatively a'jove other markets, this fact dos not seem so much to account for the smallness of the t-ausacties aj the fact of au abseuce of enquiry and a light utoc-k. j The transactions for the week foot up about 150 bales at figures ranging from 14 ceuts for low middling to 15 cents for midelling. At the c ose there is a steadier feel iig in the market, based upon more iavorable advices from other markets. Tne receipts for the week were as follows: Friday 34 bales. Saturday 57 " Monday". 8 " Tuesday 33 " Wednesday 7" " Being a total ot 1WA bales, against 212 bales for iast wek. The exports were 397 and the stock in yard and afloat is 1,411 bales.

Uobn In tne absence of cargo arrivals the market was quiet and may be quoted easier, but as no sales have occurred below former prices we continue our quotations for cargoes at yo to yvt cents lor prime wmte. i rom store prices were very steady with about the usual trade from the regular channels of home con sumption and country orders. The receipts for the week were small comparatively.say about 2,000 bushels from .Philadelphia, 2,500 bushels from Baltimore and 3.100 bushels per Wil mington and Weldon Rail Road.

Corn Meal The demand is light and the stock is equal to the enquiry prevail ing. Sells from store at 91 12$(J lo p( bushel, including sacks. PROVISIONS There has been a tame market since our last review, and trade was confined to supply in the consumptive demand.

The market ruled quiet all the week, there being only a moderate demand for small lots to assort stocks; prices unchanged. EGGS The warm weather whioh has prevailed for several days past caused a material increase in receipts and a disposition of buyers to take more than were barely required for immediate wants. Quotations are 16 to 17 cents per dozen. SALT There is a good stock of domestic rather free offerings and only a fair demand. Liverpool and American sells at $1 151 20 per sack. BEESWAX The receipts are fully equal to the wants of the trade, though all offered finds a ready market and prices are well sustained at 2523 cts. lb f r prime. DRY GOODS A fair business has been done in this line during the week. The weather has been favorable and a number of merchants from the inte rior have visited the city to make pur chases. The fullness of the cotton market has produced a lower tendency iu cotton goods, but woolen articles are unchanged. MT. AIRY WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, Mt. Airy, N. C. OPENS 15th OF MA Y, 1875.
