EDENTON, February 20, 1801.
The time is near at harm when we
'-all be called upon to select eonn
cdnien for oar town, and as the law
empowers the board to elect a M-iyor
and Constable, it is highly important
th t it should be well considered
htd'ori the election which comes off
in M.j. lie it 'paid to the creditor
the present board that they hare
showa, in a marked decree, their will
ixriiess to advance the interest or'
our town, and but for the lack of
interest taken in our oiunicipul affairs
by som? oi'oiir leading citiZ8ri9 tiiey
douhitass would uavo made much
gre iter progress. A wide field is
open lor improvement vet. The ex
tension of 'Magnolia and Court streets
are yet to be done. The loag talkec
of eisctric lights should ba introdue
ed, aad a thousand and one sugges
tions that we might make, will ba ex
pectod of our next board of couuc'l-
mu. In order to earrv out these
improvement i; i absolutely neces
sary to elect liberal minded, public
spirited citizens, who in turn wii
elect a Mayor whose views tro posi
tively known to be in keeping witn the
times. We say it much to oar own
mortification aad regret, that maiiy of
oar citizens are willing to let things
continue in the old rut, to keep our
oeautiful town, with its magnificent
water front, its salubroua climate,
its unequalled advantages for manu
facturing industries, forsver in the
rear. Around us we see our sister
towns thriving, bouyed with hope
and pregnant with energy, while
we are rolling ia the waters made
stagnant by our own inactivity. We
had hoped that the present adminis
tration would go fcaneatlj to work and
aid and encourage ever enterprise
that would likely benefit us; how for
they have met our expectations, has
already ben stated, but we deem thai
a change is necessary, and we feel
that we are betraying the trut im
posed upon us, in allowing the elec
tion to come upon us without sound
, ing the alara, without calling upon
every citizen to respond to the
calls of progress; all the elements
necsary for our success are
at nnd, we have public
spirited citizens sulUjieutiy imbued
wit tue spirit of progress to grasp
the situation, mun wao are cogniz
ant of the fact that their individual
welfare depends upon the prosperity
of the community. Such a person
adorning the offije of mayor, would
m-ko success sure, would invite ex
ami; itions of our facilities for manu
facturiug, would iadace local capital to
co?pjr te with taea in developing our
resources, and causae prosperity and
plenty to go hand in hand. A 'new
era would dawn, Edenton wonld
arouse from her Rip Van Winkle
sleep to behold the old fogies skulk
ing behind .their more enterprising
neighbor, and entirely out&triped in
the race. Let the election in May
make this change. Let every voter
be fully satisfied before casting the
ballot for councilmen that the change
will be made.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY NOTES.
Siacs our 'ast isae a gret many
bill have been introduced in botk
Houses of the iezisiature. but of a
private character, and in which the peo
ple graeral'y fee n9 Merest.
Th'j bill before ths Legislature to
amend the charter of Edenton has pass
ed its tbtrd reading.
It is now thought that the Railroad
Comsoission bill will be passed as it
came to the Houe from the Senate
without amendment.
Tie bill to amend the charter of
Elizabeth City has become a iaw. The
bill enlarges the town limits and takes
in some of the suberbs.
A Liil has passed the Senate provid-
ing that count? commissioner shall go
into office" the let Mondayain Au
gust instead of December.
The bill to amend tha constitution
as to ive the Legislature power to in
crease the jurisdiction ot magistrates
has passed its final reading in the Sen

A bill is before tb lesislatnre to
regulate the rate of interest and nro-
viJe that it shall und3r no circum
stances, be mo than 6 per cent. It
is causing no iittie discussioa.
Tlae rsveneu bill is one of the chief
mattets now to be considered bv the
T ! -1 - . rr-M . . m '
legislature. i ne question of an ap
prepriatien for the extention of the
inne assvlum at Raleigh 13 one of
th; important questions. The senar-
anon ot tne cieat mutes from the blind
by means of separate institutions, is
a. so being considered.
Excuse us for saying that the late
indications point to a change of the
Legislative mind upos the oyster quss
tion throagh the o)eration of the so
ber second thoHght and in allowance
of dredging with culling in water not
less taau i2 feet . We are glad to
hear that Senator Parker and Rep
