Although be- longing to a respectable family, anc by nature endowed with a rich fun of intellectual Wbility, a weaker, more frivolous aud conceited creature than Miss A.

Mis A. D—— was dead ! _ Sarah immediately alarmed the neighbors. I was sent for. It was a stormy night in March, and the deso- late aspect of things abroad, deserted streets, the dreary, howling wind, and the incessant pattering of the rain contributed to cast a gloom over my mind, when connected with the in- telligence of the event that ‘had sum- moned me out. . On reaching the house I found Mrs. A. D—— working ina violent fit, surrounded by several of her neigh- bors, who had been called to her as- sistance. I repaired instantly to the scene of death, and beheld what I never shall forget. There was a table towards the further side of the room, and on-# stood a looking-glass, hung vith @ little -white drapery, aud various articles belonging to the toi- let lay scattered about—pins, curling |papets, ribatids, gloves dc. An arm- chair was cfawn to the table, and in it sat Miss A. D——, stone dead. Her head rested upon her right hand, her elbu. supported by the table, while > lexe hung down by herside, grasping . p-ir of curling irons ; each of her wrists was encircled by a showy gilt bracelet. Her face was turned ofthe lamp reflected with frightful ‘fidelity the clammy, fixed features, daubed over with rouge ana carmine, the fallen lower jaw, and directed fall into the mirror, with acold, dull stare, that was apalling.

The gastly visage of death . thus leering through the tinsel of fashion—the vain show $f artificial beauty—was a horrible njockery of the fooleries of life ! Indeed tt was a most humiliating ficing at the shrine of vanity! Two or three of the women present procee- ded to remove the corpse to the bed for the purpose’of laying itout. What strange passiveness; she who. but a few hours before would not,.on any account, ‘submit'to the ehtreaties of a fond mother, offered tio resistance to those who bound her for the cold and silent grave. Her limbs were extended, and . er jaws tied up with a riband that she intended to wear that evening ata fashionable gathering. On examining the body I foun- that death had been caused by disea: of the ‘heart. Her life might have been prolonged possibly for many. years, had she taken my advice and that of her mother. I have seen hundreds of corpses, as well inthe calm composure ~f natural death, as mangled and c¢ torted by violence, but never have » seen so startling a satire upon humaa nature, so repulsive, unsightly and loathsome a spectacle as a corpse dress- ed for a ball! OE A REMARKABLE STORY OF A YOUNG LADY. The New York Herald publishes a remarkable story based on the state- ment of Dr. Charles E. West, of that city, in regard to the case of Miss Mary J. Fancher, of Brooklyn, who in 1865, at the age of nineteen years, had her nervous system complet shattered by an accident which be her whilst stepping from a street car, and by which she was dragged over the pavement a block. In February, 1866, Miss Fanchier lost all her senses, even her sense of touch, and did not take any food until May, but she lost her speech in a few weeks and became subject to trances. In June nourish- ment was forced by a pump into her stomach, which made her deadly sick. As a result her throat closed, and she was unable to take any nourishment or utter a sonnd. For twelve years she has laid in one positiov, for 1. ue years in a rigid or paralyzed state. During these twelve years she nas virtually lived without food. Since the 4th of July her eyelids have re- mained closed. Her rest is taken in the trance state, which answers for sleep. Her mental! state is more ex- traordinary than her physical. She has the power of second sight. All places are alike open to her mental vision. Distance interposes no bar- riers. She will dictate the contents of sealed letters without a single error. She will visit the family circles of her friends in distant towns and tell what they are doing and describe their per- sonal attire. Persons entering the house of her aunt, whether acquainted or strangers, are instantly recognized. She works in embroidery and wax without any patterns. Her wax flow- ers are marvels of beauty.

THE REMOVAL OF CAUSES. _ The Legislature meets ia Raleigh next Wednesday, and among the many impor- tant measures that demands its earnest deliberation, we know ef none that calls for more careful consideration than the law allowing the removal of causes frem one county to another. A defendant will come into court, charged with some vie- lation of law, it may be with a capital offense, and in order to delay proceedings, or for some trumped up pretext or trivial excuse, (for really in nine cases out of ten there is no good or jtst reason for such action) he is allowed to make affidavit that he cannot get justice done him in his own county, and is thereupon permitted to remove lis trial to another county re- gardless of the expense to the people among Whom the offense was committed. And it dees not end here, for often he is allowed to remove a sceond time, at greatly increased expense to an already overtaxed and innocent © people. This thing has been permitted year after year, and conrt after court, until it has become fearfully oppressive, intolerable, and the law-abiding people who have the enor- mous bills thus created to pay, demand that something be done to relieve them of this unnecessary and ruinous burden im- posed by the criminal classes. The bur- den is great enough on the tax-payers and law-abiding citizens, when the criminal offenses are disposed of by the courts in the county in which they were eommitted: vut when they are allowed to be removed for trial to another county, it is threefold, and sonietimes five-fold greater. Every one can understand why. the expense is greater without enumerating all the items that make it so. Now, is there no remedy ? Has the lawless vagabond, or an individual who wantonly or recklessly sets the law at defiance any right to in- crease the expense ef his trial two, three, or it may be, tive thousand dollars ander the pretert that he cat’t get a fair ttial at the ands of the people among whom he is best known? If justice is the end sought,—justice to the innocent or to the offender,—we say not. Aman who can not get justice ameng bis ewn people— where he is best known—is not generally entitled to have merey doled out to him by strangers. But he has sworn and sub- scribed to an affidavit setting fourth the specions plea that he ean’t get justice done him at home, thereby branding the good people of his county as vile perse- cuters, capable of perjury, dishonesty and criminal prejudice, and the Judge hears and answers bis prayer without allowing the State to offer any rebutting testimony to show that be is mistaken. This mach, at least, oughs to be permitted, and if it can be shown that there is really no good reason for removal, then the affidavit should be ignored and the ‘‘motion” re- fused. Thero is another fact: the men who try grave offenses are selected from those who are without prejudice, and who have not “formed or expressed” an opin- ion as to the guilt or innocence of the party upon whom they are to pass judg- ment. The removal of eauses is a erying evil. It has heavily taxed Rowan, and we thiuk if the reasons tov continuing the law is carefully examined, it will be found they do not justify the inereased burdens entailed. Another outrage is the trial of partics for the same offense before two or more courts. We have kuown parties charged with trivial offenses to have to run the gauntlet of three courts with more or less tine or cost attaehed to each. This is a great oppression, whether it arises from ignorance or the rapaecity of officials in pursuit of fees, and calls aloud fora plain statute to make courts observe the con- stitutional and legal rights of the eitizen. = SS - eaee We have acorrespondent this week who neglects to comply with the rule by failing to give his name. Heis opposed te the fence law movement, and thinks it was designed tocrush the poor man who owns only two or three acres of land and a cow. His small lot is toe valuable and too small tor a pasture. his few acres and letting his Cow run at large he is able to live; but if he be com- pelled to keep ap his cow, he and his family will fall on the county. Our correspondent wants the milk and butter from a cow, bat also wants his neighbors to help feed her. He can’t keep her except by letting her run out on other people’s lands to hunt food; and if he can’t have it this way he thinks he and his family must become panpers and te the poor house! His neighbors we anwilling to feed any but their own stock; but onr correspondent thinks they have no right te object, or if they do, they can put their lands under fence. If one of these neighbors were to answer wae correspondent he would probably say—it is cheaper for you to keep your cow in a stable than for me to make a fence around my land. You have no more right to the grass on my land than you Jhave te the timber or crops which grow on it. If you eannot keep you cow with- out help, you onght to get that help from some one who is willing to give it. Yon eertainly ought not to take it from me whether I am willing or not. ——_— a 0 oe A ‘God Speed” to Blaine.—One writing over the signature of ‘Pee Dee” in the Raleigh Observer heads his articleas above. He says Blaine is on the right track when he goes for taking away the right of suf- frage from the negro, and rests his opin- ion on the faet, that the negro has con. atantly voted against the wisest and best men iu the South, and iu that way has proved his nufitness for citizenship. And further, that there is no reason to believe it will be any better hereafter: he will constantly prefer the weakest and mean- est men who are presented as candidates and thus do all he ean to prevent the State from having the services of her ablest and best men; and that it will be better to lose three members in Congress if by so duing we shall gain the services of our best men iv the counsels of the State. **Pee Dee’s” views may bo encouraged in the eastern part of (he State, where the megro vote prepondeiates, but applies with littleforce in those sections where white voters are in the ascendancy.

Ina very few words that paper has expresed the feeling and the judgment of a large majority of the Democratic peo- ple of the State on the Senatorial ques- tion and Gov. Vance’s eminent fitness for the high place to which they weuld assign hini. We commend the article refered to as presenting the whole matter ina nut shell. A WORD ABOUT VANCE. The time is close at hand when North Carolina will elect a Senator, and we trast our good friends in the Old North State will not think us obtrusive if we venture to say a word on thissuuject. Our apolo- gy—if one be needed—is found in the fact that we have a very large circle of rea- ders in that State, who expect as from time to time to discuss matters in which they are interested. But there is a broad- er ground still on which we may plant ourselves. It concerns the whele South to see our strongest and best men sent to the Senate; and we presume that few will deny that Vance ig pre-eminently fitted for the place. Indeed, North Caro- lira owes it to herself to send her able Governor to’ Washingtos, so that the stone which the Radical builders once re- jected may become the head of the corner. The time was when our masters in Wash- iugton said that North Carolina should net do honor to her gifted son and now uhat circumstances have changed this should not be forgotten. It cannot be necessary, however, to discuss this, or to urge his peculiar claims upon the people of the State for whom he has done much, and upon whom he has reflected no little honor in his brilliant career. Nor dowe think it required to discuss the peculiar manner in which he was sacrificed on a prevous occasion by a combination which the people of North Carolina condemned with one voice. No. We rest our advo- cacy of Vance on his special fitness for the place. We want him, on behalf of the whole South, to stand ready when Blaine, for example, gets up, to put him down wijh keen satire and radiaut hu- mor; puncture, with his wit, the inflated rhetoric of Conkling when he assails this section; and to carry into the Senate those peculiar gifts of his which make him a power wherever h> appears. Per- haps Vance, outside a comparatively limi- ted circle, is less known thau an; other really able man the country has produced. Outside of Eastern Virginia, his own State South Carolina and Georgia, he is rather known for his exuberant humor than for his solid ability. But, in fact, Vance is so complete a man in his varied gifts that he is equal to any emergency, and would go into the Senate prepared to illuminate any great question with philosphical thought or scintillating humor, according to the necessities of the occasion. Such in brief cempass, is our opinion of his in- tellectual qualities, and to these he adds a personal record which entitles him to the respect and support of all his fellow citizens. 2? OO RATLROADS. There is quite a number of railroad projects advocated in this State just vow. Narrow gauge roads is the prevailing idea, There is a sharp contest going on between citizens of the State and capitalists and corporations in Virginia for the trade of the Dan and Yadkin Valleys, and from present indications the Virginians are most likely to succeed, Wilmington is more immediately interested i. these movements, perhaps, than any other city in the State. If we are ever to havea North Carolina systent of roads, building up a great city by the sea, Wilmington stands out as the most prom .uent point to which that system should lead. But .'e tardy and wavering efforts of our St. afford little encouragement for a tinal re- alization of a State system, which shall accomplish the original aims. Meanwhile enterprising parties on each side of us are prejectiug and building roads which will drain much of the very country which should feed the central system about which we ha lked so long and so much. ‘Lhe border nties along the Virginia line northwest of Greensboro, are proba- bly hopelessly lost to Wilmington. It ia a tobacco region mainly, and its trade will most naturally tend to the great to- baeco depots of Danville and Richmond. The projected line from the Gulf via Greensboro up the Yadkia valley,:now in process of construction, will certainly compete to some extent with the propos- ed line from Danville via Leaksyille, Mad- ison, Germartown to Statesville; but the difference in the distance to market, and the general character of the freight seek- ing transportation, will most likely go east instead of south, aud thus the blood of the right arin of the State will flow out toenrich Virginia. Can it be prevented? There is one little scheme not now much talked of which may yet be made subser- provement, to wit: a read from Salisbury to the Gulf, connecting with.the Fayette- ville and Coal Fields road. That would bring the Eastern trank. in connection with the Great Western N. C. Railroad, and form the most perfeet line now pvus- sible, having any semblance to a State aystem. We urge the attention of our live citi- zens to the railroad movements going on around us, and especially to the impor- tance of this latter scheme. Those we appeal to are few in number: the great body of our people in this immediate sec- tion are ‘“‘as dead as Hector” on railread subjects, and don’t seem to care for any additional facilities whatever. They may be aroused, and should be, to see that they have areal interest of great value at stuke, before it is too late to accomplish work necessary for the future prosperity of our town and county. We have al- ready lost advantages by delay, and con- }tinued delay may prove hapelessly fatal, vient to the original plan of State im-- 2A cotrespofidentef the Tal- er, writing on this subject donbtless makes @ very true remark when Lbeisaysy‘‘Fhe ‘gpecesa “of mafinufact ers of tobacco the coming year depends much on the aetion of Congress in regard to the the better will the manufacturers and producers be pleased.” The fact is the suspense in regard to the tax is ruinous to the tobacco trade. Men fear te buy any more than they ean sell immediately, and operations of that kind even are risky, Congress.should take action gp this sub- ject with the least possible delay, and we trust our represgptatives will lose no time in pressing it to a final decision, one way or another. $e Beware !—The lottery dodgé is around again, ‘Thousands of circulars have been sent to people in the crountry inviting them to take a ehance in a lottery for watches, jewelry, &c. They eminate from a swindling shopin New York. No one can take hold of it without loss, and sometimes aheavy loss. The only safe way is to have nothing todo with it. The managers lic and steal with all the bold- ness and simplicity of men following a lawful calling. 6 0 The Raleigh News is a candidate for State Printer. The News did the State printing by appointment of the Legisla- ture two years ago, and so far as we know did it satisfactorily, and thus earned a claim for re-election. It now offers to do much of the work at half the rates: fixed by law. This, it is claimed, can be done in considearation of the reduced prices of labor, material, &c. Itis certainly a very heavy deduction, and narrows the margin fur profits to a close shave. OOOO Fires. —There was a fire at Wilmington on the 24th, which destroyed property to the value of $75,000. Insurance $35,000. Among the heaviest losers Messrs. 0. G. Parsley & Co., are mentioned. Five stares, two steal ers, sheds, naval stores, &c., comprises the bulk of the loss. There was also a large fire at Wilson, N. C., on the night of the 25th, by which ten store houses, mostly cheap structures, were destroyed. Estimated loss $35,000, partly covered by insurance. —- ope New Counties.—The General Assembly will have the responsibility of deciding on applications for several new counties. The people of Mooresville will prolably ask for slices of territory off of Rowan, Iredell, Mecklenburg and Cabarrus. A new county off of Davidson, Guilford and Randolph, with High Point as the county seat, will be asked for; and Richmond, Robeson and Cumberland are also to be dismembered, if the legislature can agree ob it. oo EE Oe There seems to have been open defiance of the lawsin Breathitt county, Kentucky, since the war, private difliculties being adjusted by the’ pistol aud the knife. The outlaws, many of them, are now in jail awaiting trial, but the sheriff says when the troops stationed there shall leave, he too will getupand git. It must be bad. ~ re Dead Bodies.—The dead body of a ne- gro woman was found in a field near Ral- eigh, naked, and frozen stiff. She was crazy and had escaped from her keepers. The body of a negro man was found feur wiles from Charlotte in the woods, muti- lated by the buzzards, and the Observer relates two stories in circulation concern- ing it, beth of which indicate death by violence. Bad whiskey and the devil got into the negroes at Hickory, Christmas, and made things very lively there for a few hours. It made work for the policsmen, support- ed by the citizens of the town, ina hand to hand struggle, which for a while look- ed very serious. No body killed. EEE OSE OE Fire.—There was a destructive fire in Charleston, at3 o'clock, January Ist. The eotton press and warehouse of the Union Cotton Press Company were destroyed, together with 10,121 bales cotton. Loss in buildings and presses $100,000. Insur- ed for $60,000.

Tiyps Park, MASS., Fed. 15, 1876. MR I R STEVENS. Dear Sir,—About ten years ago my health failed through the depleting effects of dyspep ta; nearly a year later I was attacke:t by typnoid-iever in its worst form. It setWedininy bick and ! ook the form ofalarge deep-seated abscess, which was fifteen months in gathcring. I had twosurgi:.loperations by the best skill in the state, but received no perma- nentcure. Isuffered great pain at mes, and was considerably weakencd by a profuse discharge. I also lost small pieces of bone at diferent times. Matters ran on thus about seven years, till May, 1874, when a friend recommended me to go to your Ofllce, and talk with you of the virtue of VEGETINE. I did so, and by your kindness passed through your manufactory, noting the ingredients, &¢c., by which your remedy is produced. By what I saw and heard I gained son e confidence in VEGETINE, I commenced taking it soon after, but felt worse from its effects; still I persevered, and soon felt it was benefitting me in other respects. Yet I did not see the results I desired till I had taken it faithfully for little more thana year, when the difficulty in the back was cured; and for nine months I have en- joyed the best of health. T have in that time gained twenty-five pounds of flesh, being heavier than ever before in my life, and I was never more able to perform labor than now. During the past few weeks I had a scroftujous sweliing as larze as my {ist gatheron another part of my body. T took VEGETINE falthfully, and it removed it level with the sarfaceina month. I think I should have been cured of my main tronble svoner ff I had taken ALIS doses, after having becoine accustomed to its effects. Let your patrons troubled with scrofula or kidney disease understand thut it takes time tocure chronic diseases; and, if they will patiently take VEGSTINE, it will, in my judgment, cure them. = With great obligations I am .

He failed in some part of his contract with the lender, who con- sidered himself justifiable in sending a messenger with instructions te take the wale wherever he might find him. The messenger found the mule hitched at the wagon in the rear of Meroney’s store, stripped the harness off and went away with him. When the borrower retarned to his wagon and found the mule was goue, he supposed some ove had stolen him, and with real anxiety about it, im- mediately set to work to recover him. He came to our office to advertise him, and was followed thither by two white men, who, a8 subsequent events proved, was cognisant of all the facts in the case. They knew the owner of the mule had sent a messenger who had taken him away, and yet they would not tell the poor ne- gro without a reward. They sought to alarm him by telling him it would cost him two or three years labor tolget out of the scrape, and did actually extract all the money the poor fellow had (25 cents) be- fore they would tell hima what had become of the mule. The negro did not seem to think his case a hard one. He was badly scared at the thought of having lost the borrowed inule, and it was a great mental relief to learn that the owner had him. Tn his joy at this he did not stop to consider what it had cost him or to estimate the character of the actlon which took advan- tage of his scare to obtain a trifling re- ward. eg WOOD LEAVES.

Other. her.| SR et Sa | Wasntkerdx, Dec. -26:—A bill 4s at process of préparation having for its ob: and will probably be -introduced in. the House soon after the reassemblage of Con-. gress. It ptoposes to liave the Legisla- | Hampton, of Soath Carolina, in uttering’ ture of each State after the appoftionment that the minority as well as the. majority may be entitled to representation... The plan proposed is an ingenious one, and if in force at the last election, would have secured frum the South over thirty Re- publican mémbers, twenty of yhom wonld have been colored men, while on the oth- er hand the democratecs would have gainu- ed a corresponding number in the North. By this plan, if carried out atthe next election, the Democrats: will have a small majority, bat all parts of the ccantry alike will be represented by Republicaius as Well as Democrats. ‘The plan is to so divide each State into districts that the districts may, as far as possible, le eu- titled to elect.either three: or five mem- bers each, thus permitting ‘the majority of voters to elect two out of three, or three out of five.’ Tu tase the district’ is entit- led to three representatives each, the electors vote for two candidates and no more. Where the State is eutitled to two representatives only, as in case of Rhode Island and Florida, it is to be divided into two districts, cach electing one member as at present, as in this case a majority and minority representation would be im- possible. Tn‘all cases where there is no odd representative, after the State has been divided as nearly as pessible into districts to, be represented by three or five members, a separate district is to be set apart for this representative, who is clected as at present. The effect of this bill will be to break up the solid South and secure to the colored people a repre- sentative in Congress. It is argued that if it were passed it would remove the ob- jections raised by Senator Blaine to the present unequal representation of the colored populatiyn of the South. tis not expected that the bill will pass at the present session of Congress, but it will be introduced to attract public attention and excite public discussion on the subject, preparatory to its reintroduction at the next Congress. a COLD, DIPHTHERIA AND SULPILUR. In the six years ending December 31, 1876, there perished of diptheria in the city of New York 7,579 persons; of these 437 died in the Jane months, 433 in the Julys, 460 in the Augusts, 548 in the Sep- teinbers, 719 in the Octobers, £04 in the Novembers,“365 in the Decembers, 634 in the Januarys, 643 in the Februarys, 607 in the Marches, 556 in the Aprils, 5638 in the Mays. Hence cold does seem to influence the disease ; and we may safely lodgment iu a throat already. irritated or inflamed, for only a small portion of those who are exposed to it contract the disease and the firmer and stronger muceus mem- branes, of adults generally ,successfully resist it. Ihe most approved modern theory is that the poison of measles, scar- let fever, diphtheria and other ailied dis- eases makes a lodgment in the mucous inembrane of the throat, from whence some of it is swallowed, and thus infects the stomach and general system ; while another pertion makes its way directly through the mucous membrane into the vessels lying in and behind it, and is thus conveyed into the blood. Hf the mucous membrane be delicate, as in children, or already inflamed er abrabed in adults, absorption of the poison will take place more readily and quickly. Sulphur is use- ful in many profuse discharges from the mucous membranes and skin, and) may counteract diphtheria as loug asitis a purely local affection of the throat, but is too insoluble to follow the poison rapidly when it has made its entrance into the blood. Chlorate of potash, gallic acid, alum, borax and tannin are vastly more soluble and equally beueticial in the local aflection. They may even be used as preventives te tonghen and. strengthen the mucous membranes of the throat. ——~- <> - A Curiosity in “Crime. Paterson, N.

Rowan County , TYRANT LAWS. — BY REQUEST. Some laws aq. yy afflict pera That we shoald sure repeal; On siatate book they should not stand, If we would seek its weal, The whiskey traffic is a curse Wherever it will be; And legislation makes it worse, We all can plainly see. The poison stream now onward rolls Pa mountains, hills and caves; The voice of reason it eontrols, The freemen are its slaves. How it does enrse the drankard’s home, The wife will hang her head; The whiskey dealer takes their corn, The government their bread, His family lament and weep When all their bread is gone; Oh! let the drunkard have it cheap, When he would be undone. The tax on whiskey, let it cease, The wife some corn will save; Oh let poor women have some peace, Nor haunt them to the grave. The law the country now will waste With gangs of Revenue; It pays them well to hunt and taste, And drink the Blockade two. Their rosy face will speak for them, Where ever them you see; Good whiskey they will oft condemn, And let the bad go free, They like to throw a gaming card, Their face is shining bright; They tell the law is very hard, Bat we can make it right, They roam among the mountains high, Poor simple men to kill; And then the laws of State defy, While bri§es their pockets fill, J Oar government bad men oft choose, And with them are content; If they the people will abuse, And well can whiskey scent. There arg some men their daty do, With good and honest heart: Their number is but very few, Compared to greater part. The whiskey maker more now makes, And look for Revenne; And they are to get their stakes Poor country off of you. Just turn your eyes to Louisville, In old Kentucky State; Aud look at those Grand Jury bills, That honest men would hate. And other cities of the West, Where corn in plenty grews; They make a blessing there unblest, By whiskey Revenues. If whiskey was like water cheap, But few of it would drink; And those who now (lo in it steep, Would seldom of it think. The men who chew tobacco now Must watch for pirate crew: Or to the reyal sceptre bow, Before they take a chew. These tyrant laws we should repeal, Our people should be free; The tyrants now the power steal To make us bow the knee, No treason knows the freeman’s land, Ne King we here will own; On freedom’s platform all should stand Yo knock the tyrant down. Althouglr we have a President, The people claim the throne; The people’s law makes government, Then give us that or none. PE I TIO The comfort of stock is greatly pro- moted by good shelter. How differ- ent the sleek and contented cattle aud sheep in a well protected barnyard from the poor, rough-haired, pinéhed up stock in an open field. On enter- ing such a yard, the first thought is how comfortable the creatures look. Think also of the economy. It may cost something to put up sheds and high tight?fences, but in the long run it costs more to feed half starved cat- tle. Before any animals can be fat- tened, a certain amount of food must be expended in keeping them warn. If healthy cattle and sheep have as, much food as they can eat, they will perhaps go through the winter in about as good health as they could if well housed, even though they be exposed to all the rigors of the climate, but the amouut of fodder they will consume is enormous and if they are not thrifty at the start, or get short of fodder, it will go hard with them. Cows will abort their calves, sheep will die, the Jambs will be born dead, and other evils are almost sure to follow.—W. E. C., in Co. Gentleman, ee The Effects of the Use of Quinine on earing. The belief is general among the laity that the prolonged use of quinine affects the hearing. Medical men have genérally disbelieved this, and attributed the notion to prejudice. Dr. Rooso, of New York has exam- ta letter informing him that the writer ] NO PLACE LIKE HOME. —— “The soil of Missouri, Kansas. and Nebraska is generally and wonderful- ly rich. The corn crop this year is a feast to the eye. To a man who is accustemed to small fields with seven feet rows and three or four in the drill, and twenty bushels to the acre —a crop to brag on—an area that the eye cannot compass waving in the wind like a cane brake, and bearing an hundred bushels on every acre is a sight that cheers. No wonder that the contrast stirs the spirit of emigra- tion. And yet very few improve their condition by moving from the Atlantic States to these fertile regions. There is an unsolved problem in this —tbat on the poor lands of Georgia, the people do as well financially as those who till the rich lands of the great West. As to climate, produc- tions, comforts, commercial relations, the year round, the advantage is with the East. 1 travel and see and won- der and admire, but always return, well satisfied, that He who fixes the bounds of our habitation, gave me a home in Georgia.” Stay at home.— Bishop Pierce. ee nee AN ELABORATE SWINDLE. An ingenions fraud has been commit- ted upon a wealthy merchant residing near Paris. A-few days ago he received had ascertained that. a box containing treasure buried in bis garden, and offer- ing to indicate the exact spot if he would agree to divide the spoil. The merchant was at first inclined to treat the letter as a hoax but upon receiving a second aud more pressing one le sent an answer agreeing to the proposal. The next day he was waited upora by a gentleman of agreeable manners, and it was arranged that the search should be made at night, te prevent the neighbors from talking. The box, a very weighty one, was duly unearthed and, when taken iuto the house and opened was found te contain 8,000 francs in silver pieces of 5 francs each. The merchant, much pleased at the result of the search, at once handed over the half which he had promised to his informer, who remarked that it was a rather heavy lump to carry te the rail- way station, distant about a mile, and that perhaps the merchant could oblige hin with notes or gold instead. This the merchant was happy to do; but he re- gretted it bitterly the next morning, as he eaw that the 5-franc pieces were spu- rious. ~~ WHOIS TO BLAME? Mr. Blaine roars in theears of the North and South his lament over the latest discovered result of the enfranchise- ment of the slaves and their admission into the number of men counted as the basis of political power inthe nation. Our opinion has already been expressed that he does not reason either shrewdly or honestly on this point, and thatRhe werely assumes, but dves net show that do not vote with his party. We believe on the centrary, that the negroes have abandoned that party, and that this is an evidence of their keen perceptions. They have found that it is not to their inter- est to continue to act with the party that simply made them go bail for the hordes of thives, forgers and scalawags of every stripe that were inflicted upon the South as Republican officeholders in the carpet- bag regime. But if weadmit for a moment that Mr. Blaine’s complaints are just, what then? In “practical politics,” of which Mr. Blaine is notoriously fond, it is not worth while togo into details for which you have at hand no remedy. If the negro vote has been ‘scooped up” by by the Southern Democrats, whether by chieanery, er browbeating, or by the legitimate influence of interest and intelli- gence, Congress has no means within its reach to remedy that fact; and all that is worth the attentien of practical politi- cians is she resnit—that the South, as the tinal consequence of the war, has greatly increased its representation in Congress and that representation is not divided. Politically, therefore, these consequences of the war come round to an end precise- ly contrary to that predicted by politi- cians—namely, the destruction of South- ern political power.—New York Herald. SS Strange Bulldozing. There has, not been much said about the Democratic bulldozing in Alabama, and yet there are greater outrages com- mitted daily in that State thanin any other south of the line. One poor negro, living in Montgomery, has not osly been bulldezed into Democracy, but actually frightened into editing a Democratic news- aguinst eutrages and massacres like this. —New Orleans Democrat, Ce RO The Lawyers on Top.—The New Graph- there is a grievance because the negroes | ford Free Lance. paper.

Flowers are not trifles, as one might know from the pains God has taken with them everywhere; not one’ un- finished, not one bearing the marks of brush or pencil.

The statistics, according to Brobst & Co’s Almanac, foot up as follows: Minis- ters, 3,011 ; congregations, 5,282 ; commu- nicants, 679,718. This shows an increase during the year of 97 ministers, 146 coa- gregations, and 24,199 communicants. Of this increase, there belons to the Synodi- cal Conference 61 ministers, 52 congrega- tions, and 11,266 commnnicants; to the General Council, 17 ministers, 16 congre- gations and 5,537 commnnicants; to the General Synod, 7 ministers, 34 congrega- tions and 2,204 communicants. The Kurtz Almanac gives a grand total as follows: 57 synods, 3,040 ministers, 5,- 301 churches, and 676,509 communicants, which, as compared with the same alma- nac’s ‘total of last year, shows a gain of 1 syno, 135 ministers, 297 churches and 71,169 communicaftts. —__ +> A Falling Scaffold—Fifteen Persons Fall “ Fifteen or Twenty Feet. Mount Zion church, located at Walnut Grovein this county, was, on Monday last, the scene of a most distressing acci- dent by which quite a number of per- sons Were seriously injured, and it is fear- ed two fatally. It seems the members of the church and some of the neighbors had assembled for the purpese of reshingling the roof of the building which was in need of repairs. An ordinary seaffolding had been erected upon which quite a large amount of shingles had been threwn and on which fifteen men were engaged at work. The platform on which they were standing was about on a level with the eaves of the house between fiftcen and twenty feet from the ground. <All at ouce without any premonition of danger, the rude structure collapsed, bringing all its living frieght to the ground with fright- ful force. ‘The shock of the fall was so great, and such alarm existed, that some of the party working on the roof lost their footing and fell to the earth. Nearly all the number were more or less injured, the most serious of whom are Messrs. Pinkney Meadows and Millington Blaloek. These two gentlemen received dangerous interval injuries, and we understand the physicians in attendance express much fearas to their recovery. Mr. James Wilkerson had his shoulder-blade dislo- cated, and Messrs. Augustine Frazer and Thomas Reagan were badly hurt.— Ox- Honors toa North Carolinian. The result of the controversy growing out of the writings of Dr. Eugene Gris- son, upon the questions involved in the trial and disposition of the criminal in- sane, includipg expert testimony, has been gratifying to North Ciroliva pride. Dr. Grissom was elected on the 12th = of November, to the high honor of corres- pondivg member of the General Prison Society of Paris, which has for its active members the first statesmen and scientific men of France; such, for example, as Dufaure, St. Simon, Duc de Broglie, Saint Hilaire, Mercier, Grevy, and others of world-wide fame. Mons. Fernaud Despor- tes, General Secretary, has sent Dr. Gris- som au official certiticate of his election by the Council of Directurs.—Ral.

The stomach is affected with loss of appe- tite and sickness; the bowels in gen- eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. ‘There is generally a considerable loss of mem- ory, accompanied with a painful sen- sation o having left undone some- thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and delility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa- tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer- cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy.

The location of tne North Carolina Railroad has often been the subject of disparaging remark and criticism, on account of its cir-uitous route, taking in'the Court-houses of Orange, Ala- manee, Guilford and Davidson, in- stead of going direct by air-line from Raleigh to Salisbury, through Chat- ham and Randolph, and the southern point of Davidson, thereby saving, it has been estimated, forty to fifty iniles betw een the points. Such criticism is in no sense a Just one. It'was eminently wise, in point. of convenience and usefulness--to the greatest poamber of people, gnd ‘Mani Testly to'the “interest of the railroad, tolocete/Thby \the | route “adopted: Strict aiXlines are. weH-enongh ~for the connecting links of great trunk roads, where every other -consider- ation must give way for that. of the}. shortest possible distance, but with State road, designed for the dev ine ment of, the largest portion of tle State, the air-line idea nvtst give way to local interests, and counties and towns be consulted. As a through line, delayed in its Western connec- tions for tweuty-five years, and’ tap- ped as it was at Greetistors, draining it throtigh north and sonth business and crossed by north and south lines at Raleigh, the Nerth Carolina Rail- road would have starved long ago through business, deprived’ of the’ local support which the towns) and counties throagh which it passes have given it, Asa thruagh lire of the future, a saving of forty miles would never compeusite for the valuable business tha t Orange, Alamance and Guilford assure it for all time. And what the State has gained in the de- velopment tis line bas wroaght ~ in those counties cannot now be approxi- mately estimated. In locating a ln: of railroad it will nearly always be found wisest to strike as many: of the established trading points of a sec- tion of country as practible. | When the great Pennsylvania Rail- | rord was about to construct its Balti- more and Potomae connection, it was suggested by a distinguisted railroad manacer from this State to avoid W ashington and go through by the Point of Rocks. "The then President Edgar Phompson, inquired why they should do so. On be: ng told that it would save seven miles in distance, he replied: “Is it not worth the building and running of seven additional miles of railroad to pass through the capi- tal of the nation?” The pertinence of this inquiry should never be lost sight of by our people in the location of any of their railroad lines. Our country towns and market places were mostly located by the phyical laws that govern trade and direct the or- dinary business of the country. It is well to consult these circumstances in every applicatfon of artificial means to material development. Almost every great railroad route was out- lined by nature when the engineer came to locate it. Thus, Mr. Calhoun is said to have predicted, as far back as fifty years ago, the present Atlanta and Charlotte Railroad along the pre- cise route it occupies, because, as he said, it was the aki buffalo trail, nerth and ‘south, the instincts of these wild animals of the primitive forests fure- running the intelligence of man, and fixing the giride mark to his commer- cial interests, It is, therefore, very deferentially suggested, at-this time of general re- vival of interest in internal improve- ments, that the people of our State, of every—section, in projecting their railroad tines, consult Jocalities and established towns and points of busi- ness in‘ the selection of routes. Taroughoat the Piedmont and North- west sections, which the Observer has been studving of late with reference to their ‘raifroad facilities and — con- nections, there are established towns and tradidg-places that it may be wise to include, even at the additional ex- pense of longer and legs direct routes than, by pursuing straighter lines, avoid the towns, trusting to the build- ing np and development of new places. Instances might he referred to whiere- in it wonld have been to the interest of the railroads, the people aid the State to have pursued more’ devie us rdutes, — _ penetrated better agricul- tural sections, and | brought un- der development richer volumes of local besiness..

' "The fliture patronage of the roads, the sections’ to be penetrated and developed, ‘and’ all, all, alike, point to the necessity of sacrificing straight lines tothe wants’ the resourees and the business capaci- ties ofthe largest sections of coun-’ try.

The success of this road from its local business is a suffi- cient indication of the policy of di- verging from straight lines, and it is an example that should not be lost on any of our people in the construc tion of railroads for loeal serviee, and affording transportation. facilities to outlying tributary sections.— Lealeigh Observer.

(Barringer and Bost, would oppose the election of Gov, Vance to the Dpjted States Senaie. We think this gannet be true, and therefore de- pouce it as a mistukes. My. Barringer certainly pledged himself to be governed by the decision of the Democratic caucus; but as he may do this and still oppose Gov. Vanco, we rest our denia} of the re- rt as to him en what he must know to be the will of J)is constituents. It is just as well known how Rowan stands on the Senatorial question as jt was known how she stood jn reference to the Conyression- al elegtion jn which her first and last ehgice was Maj. Robbins. Mr. Barringer gaungt yote against Gov. Vanes jy the caucus without mjsrepresenting a large majority ef his Dewocratic constituents who prefer him to all other men in the State ; aud in a matter of this kind he will be witheut excyse or apology te disap- point the will and expectations of his fel- jow gjtizens, We,think he will not do it. The report must be untre ys to Mr. Bost for the reason that he told many of his constituents that he wasa Vanee man. It is true he was not, as we are aware of, caljed out on the stump to pledge him- self, byt be was accepted on the gropad of his private declarations gn the subject, whieh is quite a sufficient guarantee of the falsity of the rumar in question as to him, ee Who Will Get the State Printing ?—We have asked several gentlemen this ques- tion, and the invarible answer has been —“The Obasrver.” Will the (bseyver take the job at the rates proposed by the News?—has been our next question.

Second, @4e common school system needs overhauling completely. There must be » more efficient systeu; of super- intendepey, ayd a jarger fund applied for educational purposes. The la shouldbe held for a longer perjod of time and a higher grade of teacheys should be employed. Third, sheep husbandry should be pro- tected and fostered. It js 3 great shame that one of the greatest sources of wealth te any State should be so neglected and despised. The people demand a law that will encoysage apd protect sheep ruis- ing. . Fourth the Moffett Register should be adopted, {ut the ee laws require decided amendments te make the system efficieut and thorough. Such a law, if ‘properly executed, would bring into the treasury from $800,000 to $1,090,000 an- nually. : Fifth, the salaries of many officers must be cut down—some of them very greatly whilst others shoujd be dispensed with altogether, Sixth, some legislation is needed to make the public roads of the State bef- ter. Seventh, the frieghts o: railruaus need to be inquired inte, Eighth, a law gnght to »e framed al- lowjug counties tg vote gu the fence law, Nizth, the Retarning Board sught to be done away with, and the old system returned to jf a better ane cannot be de- vised.

Owen J.

Mr. Randaiph’s letter concerning the can- duct of the election in Montgomery goupty., Alabama, alleges that calored men were forced by deputy United States marshals to vote the Republican ticket, and that deputy marshals, in violation of State law, distribu- ted whiskey and other refreshments among colored voters, oe ENGLAND AFTER THE “BALANCE OF TRADE.” (From the New York World, 2d,J The British trade and navigation re- turns for November exhibit some. very striking features which are of interest to oar own country, Importationsinto Great Britain during that month decreased four times as much as exportations from Great Britain. There is no longer the heavy balance against England which existed last year. The decrease in the cost of fuod imported into England last month is more than 2() per cent. from that import- ed in Noyembe}, 1877. In wheat the de- crease is 43 per cent. and tliis js the re- sult ef a fair crop in England and of a large crop in the United States which be- tween them have created a glut iu the wheat market and so have secured a year of cheap bread for England, The table of exports of manufacturers from the kingdom are equally suggestive. As raw materials have been obtained on cheaper terms, the export trade is, in ene sepse, Dat so very bad, and the Custom Houses do not account for the industrial depression. Butit is in decreased home consumption that British manufacturers find the chief cause of their griefs. Home buyers now in Great Britain are scarcer and more cautious thun the foreign. -_-—_--— ~~ — — -—_ DAVIDSON COLLEGE. (From the North Carolina Presbyterian.) Mr. Epitor—I wish to set forth the Claims of Davidson College upon the good people of our State. The point I propose to make is that Davidson College asa school for thor- ough education, fur ast eked drill-work is superior to any college which we have, or perhaps to any south of the University of Virginia. The University of Virginia is by com- mon cpnsent of all who know anything about it, regarded as the tirst institution for thorough scholarship in the Southern States, New, of the six professors at Davidson College, four are University of Virginia men, and one a Washington-Lee man, a college foanded on the same. plan, pur- suing the same methods of instruction, and FE think officered to a considerable cx- tent by graduates of the University of Virginia. The whele plan and method of teaching at Davidson College is that of the confessedly Lest institution at the Seach, while the demands and require- meuts for passing examination are based ou the gtrict examination required there. Men trajned at the University of Vir- ginia, do not alfpw low standards of schol - arshipand the professors at Davidson have made jt their aim to require as strict scholarship sq far as they carry their students, as is required at the Uni- versity of Virginia. They de not pre- tend to rival that university or an y other real university in the extent and variety of studies required for degrees—fur Dayid- sonis simply a college, deing college work, preparing youths by thorough teaching to apprupriate the advantages of universities, such as Johus Hopkins and the University of Virginia. Davidson College does not and wil] not lower her scholarship simply to get vyn- bers; thanks fo her gtill large endow- ment, She jg ‘nut on the parish,” and the college is able tq support itaelf even with a limited number of pupils. The president and professors ef lan- guages at Davidson are not only Univer- sity e* Virginia men, but have al] studied at the most famaqus universities of Ger- many; they. know what jis considered learning there, and what scholarship means there ; they are students and read- ers of German and French, and are keep: {ing themeelves in contact with the bos learning and best Phe languages are taught at Davidaon in the only way a langaagé can be thor- oughly taught vizs by writing it. "The professor of Greek at Davidsex, a most enthusiastic teacher and a capital seho- lor, informed be jast June that he gave his last class the very same Greek exer- eises that Professor Gilderslieve gaye him when he took his degree on Greek atthe University of ‘Jipginia. I do not mean of course, that he pat up for ex- amination all the Gee's required of him, for thatembraces the reading of many authors not read in ac jlege, and Greek history, &c., bu; he gav= his clyss_ the very same English to be put jute: Greek which was given him—the only real test of one’s knowledge of a langnag e. Some of these papers were seutto a distinguished professor of Greek at one of the oldest colleges in Virginia, hin- self a University of Virginia man—and he said “he would not have thought such Greek could have been written in any college if he had not seen it.” In Latin, I hear that Prof. Sampson has done the same thing, giving the ex- ercisea that “Prof. Peters gives at the Unlyersity of Virginia. ‘ In the scieatiiic department the same high standard js enforced as iv languages. Prof. Carson's jcourse in pure mathema- tics is about that given at Washington- Lee. In chemistry, besides the general chem- istry, there is a full year of practical labor- atory work for those who desire it. In natural philosophy there isa very full course; experimen.al shysics a whole year; meehanics a whole year; astrono- my a whole year. I have had in the last few days a_ fresh instance of the strictuess of the examina- tion fu this department, T was inquiring of Professor Martiu concerning the pres- ent ehemistry claas. He told me he gave one student 93 on examination, and. then added, “thatisa very high) mark, for not more than one iv five hundred ever get that from me. Thave been here for ten years and do not think Lever gave 97 to more than three or four students.” As to the president of Davidson Col- lege, [know no college which has his equal] in talents, scholarship and capa- city for teaching in his department, He was edueated under Dr. MeCiuffey at the University of Virginia, held the chair of mental philosophy at the Uni- versity of North Carolina in its palmiest days, was president of Miami Universiiy, professor of Latin at Davidson, a: > then president of the college. Ne has attended Jectures in !o:lin, isa German and French sgholar, anc is more thoroughly master of philosepliy and the kindred branches than ans saany man | know. He is especially apt ae a teacher, calling out all the enthusiasin ot his pu- pils, and stimulating them to work. Few mep possess his stores of learning, aud long practice as a teacher has taught him what is adapted to the studeut’s mind. he isemphatically an educator. [ft had no other yeason for sending a son Davidson, T would send him there to enjoy the benelits of Dr. Hepburn’s chair, Dr, Hepburn’s tsaching is not only theoretical, it is practical—has reterence to the living issues of the day. Ile is not like so many mere professors and theolo- gians— a sixteenth century man living in the nineteeth century. Ile is a man of the day, using the lessons of the past to illustrate and explain the present. Dr Hepburn’s department is especially rich in political economy aud sociology, questions of government, finance, &c. These are subjects of prime impertance and it is upon jast such topics our young men need instruction, Aud now, Mr. Editor, I think I have given reason for the faith ‘hat is in) me in regard to Davidson. Jo > cot wish to be thought as setting Lavidson above what it deserves. I do pot say this or that chair in some other colleges may not be as well filled as in Davidson; Ido not assert that the whole body of professors there are superior iu taleuts tu the whole body in some other colleges. But I do assert and bel -ve that taking ererything into consider:i_.1, the talents of the professors ; the universities iu this country and abroad upon which they have attended, dre thoroughness and ex- aetness of bell ne: the method of their teaching the exactue - their teaching, and the/high standacu -equired for degrees—that Davidson Corie is head and shoulders above any similar to college south of the University. of Vir- ginia. Iam _ profoundedly grateful that in North Carolina we have sucha college. I believe its. influence in the State in promoting the higher education will, be inealeulable. This thereugh education is just what we need in our Styte—it is just that thing in which Virginia excels us and which is due in a gieat degree to her University, whose ¢xactness qud thoroughness of teaching, Davidsay Col- lege is closely following. Let no vo one think i am attempting : tu “write up” Davidsen. She js already making her mark. Her students are al- ready aking her known by their schol- arship and power of thought, as teachers and pupija gt the highest universities, and hep reputation js every year extending itself. Phe graduates of Davidson take a high rapk in the professional and scientifie seliools which they enter. They are squgh} 94 tegehers in North Carolina jand the Gulf States, and no one that has beep ragommended asa tescher by ; the faculty, bas so far as is knewn, disappoin- ted those who have employed him. A professor at Johns Hopkins jy reply ta inquiries, said Davidson byya weie prepared to attend his lectures up those anywhere else.

THE INFERIOR COURT is in session this week. We notice W.H. Bailey, Esq., of Charlotte, and John Long, Esq., of Cabarrus, as visitors from abroad. The docket is small and consists of in- dictments for small offenses. We wWete surprised while iu Conrt Tues- day, during the trial of M. A. Bencini fur an aésault on Frank Ketchey, te hear Major James £, Kerr give the epinion that a Magistrate has no jurisdiction in ease of an assault and battery. He said that the constitution providing for such jurisdiction, limited it to offenses for which there was due no heavier penalty than $50 fine and thirty days im prison- ment: but that the Act of the Legislature ‘on the subject stated the limitation dif- ferently, i. e. 250 fine and one month im- prisonment, &c. That this clerical dif- ference raised the question of what num- ber of days constituted a “month,” and in fact made the law a nallity. But in ad- dition to this, said the Major, Magistrates fail to comply with the strict letter of the Act, se that their adjudications are often valneless in law. In the case referred to above, Bencini was breaght before the Mayor aud tried for a violation of one of the Ordinances of the town; but in the pleading the de- fenced argued the case as having been tried before a Magistrate acting in the bame of the State; aud it was in reply to this pleading that Mr. Kerr made the point on which we are commenting. | Accepting this as true, and it was not | disputed by gentlemen learned in the law | there present, it isa case that calls for ‘immediate action on the part of the Leg- | islature. The Jaw shonld be so amended and simplitied as to make it of practical value. It is a mockery andan oppression as it now stands, subjecting parties to the /loas and vexation of two trials —one be- fore a magistrate, which is pronounced | worthless, and another before the Inferior ‘or the Superior Conrt. ~ > SOUTH RIVER RIPPLES.

In w debating society, conducted by the | negroes, the following question was taken up: “Which is the Greater Blessing to a Country, a Lawyer or a Doctor ?” In dis- cussing the query one negro said ‘Jesus Christ was a doctor, for He healed the sick, clensed the lepers, and gave sight to the blind.” Another said, that he would admit that “Jesus was a doctor,” but he wanted the committee to distinetly un- | derstand that He was now a lawyer, ‘‘sit- | ting at the right hand of God pleading We did not ascertain the deci- sion of the question. ¥.S.S. for us.” ———————-~4>o—— WOOD LEAVES.

Epirors:—When wo view a thing that is favorable to our inclination, it is difticnlt to consider it properly. “Convince a man against his will, And he’s of the same optuion still.” We propose in this consideration, view- ing both sides of the picture, and shall make some figures for the (as we think) too credulous. “It is understood that the fences of North Carolina cost ten million dollars, and the annual average decay, or expense, about ten per cent. The presumption is, we have the fences, and consequently the annual expense of them, according to the above, is one mil- lien dollars. In 1870 the value of the cattle, sheep and hogs in N.C., is put down by the Statician at 811,733,651. Thua we see that one dollar’s worth of ferce shuts out over eleven dollars worth of stock, in- stead of (as has been said) it costing tive and a half dollars to fence out one dollars worth of stock. Had we no fences, the estimated expense would be one dollar’s worth of fence would shut out over one dollar's worth of the above mentioned stock, to say nothing of other kinds, and annual increase of stock—allowing fence to last ten years without repairing. Again: a one-horse farm (50 acres) can be inclused with 520 reds of fence or 1040 pannels, (with two partitions) at a cost of $104. Allowing such farm fifteen head of stock, it is estimated that they will cost directly or indirectly, three-fourth bushel corn per day, and 365 days—273% bushels at 40.cents per bushel we have $109.50, expense for one year. Taking off half as allowed when stock runs in com- mons, we have $54.75 loss, and for ten years $547.50, to save $109.50, to say nothing of expense ef pasture, fence, liti- gation, &c., that such project might bring about. : We have endeavered to present facts uncoufutable, as we think, otherwise, some one, we hope, will correct us. We (as we believe all should be) are in favor of whatever will biing “the greatest geod tw the greatest number’—no good citizen should be otherwise; aad we would protest against any adverse measure. If the Legislature ahould take action in this matter, we hope they will act with moderation and ‘do nothing rashly.” EXPERIENCE. . ~~ [We put on record the following, to the praise of the liberal donor, thought it is now old news.

While yet in his 44th year he was cut off. We have reason to hope that he was ready for the summons, and that he chaaged the conflicts of earth for the bilss of Heavens. On Sunday, the ist day of Decem- ber, a large concourse gathered at the Methodist Church, to pay the last tribute to their departed friend. After an elegant sermon by Dr. Burkhead, and appropriate ser conducted by the writer, assisted by Rev. J. Rumple of the Presbyterian Chureh, we followed his remains to the cemetery and buried them near the grave of the late Hon. Burton Craige, where they await the call of the an- gel of the resurrection. = gp WHERE.THE PUBLIC DEBT IS HELD. — {From the New York Herald, 2nd, } A return from the Treasury Department shows that of the registered four per cents, Which are divided among 16,838 holders, only thirty-six bonds of different denomi- nations are owned abroad of by foreign- ers. The whele amount held in register- ed four per cents amounts to nearly one hundred and thirty million dollars; the coupon four per cents whose ownership cannot be so accarately traced, amouut- ing to above fifty-two millions. The best authorities among the bankers of this city hold that over two hundred millions, but less than two hundred and fifty millions of onr national bonds are still held in Europe. Thisis a very smal) amount, and it is likely te be diminished if our exports keep up to the level of last year, or anywhere near there, during the year which hae just opened. rr OO iim Many Facts in Small Compass. The number of languages spoken is 2,- 005. The number of men is equal to the numberof women. The average buman life is about33 years; one quarter die be- fore the age of 7. To every 1,000 persons one rarely reaches the age of 100 years, and not more than one in- 500 will reach the age ef 80.) There are on earth 1,000, - 000,000 iuhabitants. Of these 33,333,333 die every year, 81,834 die every day, 3,- 739 every honr, and 60 every minute. the losses are balanced by an equal num- ber of births, The married are mo longer lived then the single onea. Tall men live longer than short ones, Women have more chances of life previous to the age of fifty years, but fewer after, than men. The number of marriages isin proportion as 70 to 100. Marriages are more fre- quent after the equinoxes, that is, during the months of June and December. ‘Those born in spring are more robust than oth- ers. Births and deaths are more frequent by night that by day. . oye _ * SENATORIAL MATTERS. (Correspondence of the Tal. Observer.) Utterly Opposed to a System which his Friends are using for his Benefit.

Justice Wandell was impressed with the open countenance of Frank Hamm, un ruby-faced, gool- -looking German Jad who was a prisoner.in Essex Mar- ket poliee eoart yesterday morning, accused by Frederick Miller of 214 Fast Fifth street of attempting to steal his wateh and money, “Why did you want to steal? 2” Jus- tice Wandell inquired in a kindly voice. “Because | was starving.

No, judge, I am not a thief, but I was hunggy, and I had nowhere to go—that’s ae I went into Mr. Mil- Jer’s store.” ‘ Justice Wandell sent an officer to find the father, and on his return the officer reported that the father did not care what his honor did with the boy, Thereupon the justice sent the officer back to produce the father in the court room. The father appeared before his honor ju the afternoon. He was well dress- ed, and worea heavy g gold chain dang- ling froin is vest, Do you want me to send your son to State prison and make a convict of him?” Justice Wandell’s lip curled as he pronounced the question. “T don’t*care.” “You, the father of this boy, do not eare what becomes of him !” “Well, judge, that boy is bad. He will not respect my wife. His mother died eight yeara ago. He lovel her very much, J have beeu married yow seven vears to my present wife, but he will have nothing to do with her, What can I do?” “You can provide for your son, sir | You have no right to turn him out on the street to starve, and drive Irtm to theft.

Now, sir, will you do something for your son or not ?” Hamm sonsented, at length, that if| his boy would promise to conduct himself properly he would find ao home and work forhim. Mr. Mil-| ler quickly withdrew the complaint, | and Justice Wandell, after a few earnest words of adyice to the lad, told him to go home with his father. Going from the Funeral of Her " Hus- band to That of Her Father. — All who saw them had the sympa- thies ef their hearts to go out toward a mother who reached this city from the South, aeeompanied by eight chil- dren, one of them an infant, during the bitter cold weather of the day af- ter Christmas, The oldest of. the children was hardly able to take care of the youngest. The lady was Mrs. John Booe, a danghter of Dr. Jas. Calloway. of Wilkesboro. She had been living with her husband in Lou- isiana for;a number of years, but a short time before Christmas he was kicked to death by a vicious mule, and his widow, gathering her children around her, turned her face toward her old howe. The mother, with her little ones, left here for Statesville on the morning of the 27th, and arriv- ing there, started by private convey- ance to Wilkesboro, a distanee of 40 niles, herself and eight children in one carriage. The cold was extrem ~ ly severe, the roads were heavy and the mountains covered with snow. All the party must have suffered greatly from the rigorous weather, especially so since the journey occu- pied about forty-eight hours; but it was a sad ending which it had when finished, for Mrs. Booe arrived at her old home, learned fur the first time that her\father was a corpse in the house, and the family was plunged in the deepest grief, Dr. Calloway was one of the oldest and most generally esteemed citizens of Wilkes county, He had been a member of the convention of 1861, and was promiuent asa physivian atid as a man.—Char.

Character means that you have convictions of truth and duty, and that you have unbending, unflinching in- tegrity.

And, in the last analysis what can be truly called character isalways found- ed upon a belief in the living God, and gvows in strength as a man’s soul grows in God’s service.

Jan., 1879.) Eo PSH. Es SE A THRILLING STORY. The following incident actually oc- curred on board of a British frigate, and was communicated to the writer, several years ago, by an old man-of- wars man: A timid boy, about fourtcen years of age, hesitated to go aloft, but by the aptain’s orders, was forcibly putin the oe 5 yain rigging, and then a boatswain’s nate was commanded to lash him like pn dog until he learned to run aloft. he poor fellow’s legs and arms trem- led, he grasped the shrouds, he cried, ve prayed the inhuman captain for r0d’s sake to have mercy on him; but all in as ordered to Jay on harder, and vain. The boatswain’s mate harder, regardless of the boy’s piercing Bereaina, which made even veteran sea- en turn from the brutal scene with His clothes were rent from lisgurs lis back, the bluod followed the lash, nd still the tyrant reared out, “Lay bn, boatswain’s mate!” With one wild scream he rom under the Jash, and bounded up sprang he rigging with amazing rapidity. fe doubled the futtock riguing like a at, passed up the topmast and top- allant rigging with undiminished peed, shinned the unrattled royal rig- ing, and perched himself like a bird longside of the pennant which stream- d from the masthead. Here he paus- , looking fearlessly upon the deck elow. All hands came up to see him his cries and cruel treatment had realy enlisted their sympathy, and, possible, had increased their hatred the captain. ’ ee The inonster was smiling compla- ntly at the success of his experiment; P Was one of those tyrants who boast- A that the cat, properly applied, could ake men do anything. Still he was ppreliensive that the boy might de- roy himself, and the circumstanees P used against him at the Admiralty, lere he knew representations of his elty had already been made. The n gazed in silence, looking first at e boy and then at the captain, who $s seated near the taffrail. They red not to be seen speaking to one other—it wasa tlogying offense; even night spies passed under their ham- ks to ascertain if they whispered. e officers walked the lee side of the arter-deck, occasionally casting their s aloft, but were as silent as the n. Still the boy clung to the mast- ad, playing with the pennant, appa- btly unconscious of the interest he ited below. Tired with gazing aloft captain sung out throgh the Paking trumpet, “Down from aloft! wo ?” The boy sprang upon the truck at bound, and raising himself erect, red his cap around his head; then, etching his arms out, gave a wild ghing scream, and threw himself ard. The captain jumped to his expecting to see the boy dashed Pieces on deck; but when clear of shade of the sails, he saw him ling along the main royal stay ards the foretop-gallant masthead, heard him Jeugh and chatter like honkey, as if enjoying the sport. reached the masthead in safety, then descended along the top-gal- backstay hand-over-hand. The to speak, bit could not find words. The boy ‘ffethed at the month and nose; his eyes seemed starting out of his head; he relled upon the deck in convulsions, staining it with the blood which still trickled from his back. He was a maniac. The surgeon’s skill in the course of a few weeks restored his bodily health, but not bis reason, From that time forward he was fearless. In the darkest night, the fiercest gale, he would scamper along the deck like a dog, and bound aloft with a speed which no one on board could equal. He would run over the yards without holding, pass from mast to mast on the stays, ascend and de- scend by the leeches of the sails, and run upon the studding sail booms. He was as nimble as a cat, and had for- gotten fear. Some of the light duties aloft he learned to discharge in com- pany with them—he did as they did, but could not be trusted to do anything himself. One order he always obeyed without hesitation, At the command, “Away aloft,” he was off, and never paused until he reached the masthead. As he was harmless and rarely spoke, the captain kept him on board, and in the course of a year, sent him aloft for amusement. His strength increased with bis years, but his bulk and height remained nearly the same at eighteen as When he became a maniac. His ribs, breast and back seemed one case of bone, and his sinews and muscles made his legs and arms appear like pillared columns. He was fair with light blue eyes and delicate skin; his face oval and full, but void of ex- pression—neither love, fear, revenge nor pleasure could be traced in its stolid outline. His eyes started at everything without appearing to see, and, when he spoke, there was rarely He fol- lowed the men in their various duties any meaning in his words. likea dog following his master. When- ever he was struck or startled by a boatswain’s mate, he ran up the main rigging, screaming at the top of his lungs, and never paused until he had performed the first evolution which had made him a maniac. As the sailor’s story runs, the ship arrived at Plymouth to be docked and refitted. The captain, availing himself of the leisure, was going to be married, and the news was com- municated by his servant to the cook, who soon circulated it on the berth- deck among the men, who cursed him and all his kin. His servant came on board of the hulk where the men were lodged, the evening when the captain was to be married. Crazy Joe (the name the boy was known by) met him at the gangway, and asked intelligently if the captain would be married that evening and where? Theservant gave him the information he desired, and went about his busi- ness, : That night, while the captain was undressing, he was seized by the throat and dragged to the bridal bed. “Look, fair lady, on me,” said Crazy Joe, “but do not scream, or I will kill you. Look on me. I hold within my grasp a devil, who delights in cruelty—a merciless fiend who has scourged the backs of hundreds of brave men—a ruffian who bas robbed me of my reason; I hold him within the grasp of death, at the very mo- ment his black soul thought. itself within the reach of bliss. Monster! look upon your lady—think a moment of the heaven of earthly joy almost within your reach—then think of me, poor Crazy Joe! and of the hell to which I’send you! Die, wretch, die !” When the alarm was given, the strangled body of the captain was found lying alongside of the bridal bed; but the maniac who killed him was never recognized afterwards. He belonged to Cornwall, and probably found shelter from pursuit in the mines until the excitement passed away. The lady stated at the time, and many years afterwards, that the attack uf the maniac was so sudden and silent that she knew nothing of it until the curtains were pushed aside and she felt the pressure of the cap- tain’s body bent over the edge of the bed. Joe held his victim around the neck with the right hand, and turned him from side to side as casily as if tain looked at him, and was about he had been a child, while the fore- evening, expresses his regret that the severe weather prevents his attendance and offers some reflections upon the on which the Senator had been ap- most marked Democracy of the time of Andrew Jackson. he was a candidate for the presidency and when he filled the presidential chair. eminently, if not pre-eminently, dis- tinguished by their devotion to the union of the States, South and North cherished by every true Democrat. Subsequent events chilled and at South, but the happiest circumstance of our present condition (that is to the influence of Democratic _princi- ples,) is that love of the Union is everywhere restored and that its pre- servation is a fixed principle of the Democratic party in the South. distinguished by its love of the con- stitution. all its vigor and beneficence by giving to ita national and rational interpre- tation, and it battled manfully and constantly against those latitudinarian constructions that threatened to con- vert the government into any un- limited centralized despotism ; and on the other hand, against all vice that menaced the existence of the Union ; and permit me to say that the prin- ciples of the Jacksonian Democracy, in this respect, are as important to- day as they ever were at any period of our history. cracy were monopoly ; they could not be other- wise for the very’ foundation of the party was the doctrine of equal rights, By whatever names they have been called there have been and _ perhaps ever will be but two great parties in America—the Democratic party, ask- ing nothing but equal rights, and an opposing party whose leaders have ever sought and ever will seek cial privileges created by law. can forget the great battle fuught by the Democracy under the lead of Jackson against the bank of the Uni- ted States, and who can fail to see that a desparate struggle against a far more pewerful combination of capital and privilege than was presented by that institution is now impending ? Will the Democracy of to-day follow the example set by their fathers of in- flexible opposition to special privilege or will they prove errant to these principles, the history and traditions of their party? This isa question that must ere long beanswered. My own belief is that it will be answered as it ought to be and that the Democrats of to-day will prove themselves to be what their fathers They will be earnest, but not rash ; determined but destructive of wrongs and abuses alone and conservative of all finger and thumb of the left hand grasped her own throat, ready to ex- tinguish her life if she attempted to raise an alarm. His face was pale and deathlike, his eyes started, but were motionless, and every word he uttered seemed to issue from the very depths of his soul. The eaptain’s looks were terrible beyond description —Death left the impress of ferocity upon his darkened features. How the maniac entered or left the room she never knew; his departure was as noiseless as his entrance. So paralyzed was she with fear, that an hour elaps- ed before she could muster courage to call for help; but she thanked God, when. the captain’s cruel character be- came generally known ashore, that she had been rescued from his alliance.— London Nautical Journal. JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY. As Viewed by a Great Exopnent. Senator Thurman’s Letter to the Co- lumbus (Ohio) Banquet Committee.

Now our ordinary annual expenses are nearly ten times that sum. What a contrast! While our population has increased but little more than three- fold, our expenses have increased near- ly tenfold. Is it not high time that we should return to the economical principles and practices of the Jack- sonian Domocracy ? “These points, few in number but transcendant in importance, I have thought it proper to note for the con- sideration ofour friends.

TTT OO DRIVING HORSES. Most men over drive They attempt too much; and in so doing, distract or hamper the horse. Now and then you find a horse with such a vicious gait that his speed is got from him by the most artificial proces- ses; but such horses are fortunately rare, and hence the style of management required cannot become general. The true way is to let the horse drive himself—the driver do- ing little but directing him, and giving him that contidence which a horse alone gets in himself when he feels that a guide and friend is back of him. The vicious and inexcusable style of dri- ving is that which so many drivers adopt, viz; wrapping the lines around either hand, and pulling the horse backward with all their might and main, so that the horse, in point of fact, pulls the weight back of him with his mouth, and not with his breast and shoulders. This they do under the im- pression that such a dead pull is needed in order to “steady ” the horse. This method of driving we regard as radically and super- latively wrong. It would tax the ingenuity of a hundred fools to invent a worse one. The fact is, with rare exceptions, there should never be any pull put upon the horse at all. A steady pressure is allowable, probably advisable; bnt anything beyond this has no justificaton in nature or reason; for nature suggests the utmost possible freedom of ac- tion of head, body and limbs, in order that the animal may attain the highest rate of speed; and reason certainly forbids the sup- position that by the bits, and-not the breast collar, the horse is to draw the weight at- tached to it. In speeding our horses we very seldom grasp the lines with hands when the road is straight and free from obstructions. The linesare rarely steadily taut, but held in casy pliancy and used chiefly to shift the bit in the animal's mouth, and by this mo- tion communicate courage and confidence to him. We find that by this method our hor- ses break less and go much faster than when driven by men who put the old-fashioned, steady pull upon them.— Golden Rule. <2 The South Carolina Legislature passed a law providing that any person convict- ed of carrying concealed weapons or arms on the streets or highways shall be pun- ishable by a fine of not less than $200 nor more than $1,000, and imprisonment for not less than gix months nor more than one year. A sénilar law, rigidly en- foreed, in this State, is one of our gravest needs. Our Legislature could in no other way do their constituents so important a service.—Char. Democrat. ~~ - A Disgraceful Custom at the North, New York, Jan. 4.—There were over fifty women, representing almost every class in society, at the Jefferson Market Police Ceurt yesterday, charged with drunkenness or disorderly conduct. The apology in every case, was, ‘ladies’ day ; we were making -calls.” ‘Ladies’ day, indeed !” the Justice would repeat; “I am glad it comes ouly once a year, for such exhibitions as this are by no means enter- taining.” ——_~ + @- & ——__ Some time since we gave our views up- on curtailing the expenses of our own State government. We then advocated putting the pruning knife to the tepmost branch and coming down to the lowest. From conversations with the masses, since that time, we are assured that such action meets favor with our people, and our inembers elect will do well to heed the voice of the people. Let them go to Ral- eigh determined to do their duty, though the heavens fall. The salaries of our of- ficers are too high. Let them be scaled down ; commence with the Governor, and WHAT OUR SUGAR COSTS US. | teration and poisoning which have recent- importation and distribution of this arti- cle, is at once a conclusive demonstration valuation established by our tariff, and a most eloquent exposure of the weakness and folly of our internal policy. Possess- ing, as we do a soil equal to that of any country ou the globe for the production of sugar, and with an acreage that will eas- ily supply all our needs and furnish alarge surplus for export, we yet find ourselves importing all but a fraction ef what we consume. How we are to utilize our pro- ductive capacity and save the immense amount of money spent elsewhere, is a question of pressing importance. As long ago as 1823 our sugar crop was about 30,000 hogsheads. In 1861 it had increas- ed to 559,410 hogsheads. Owing to the war, and the consequent delapidation of our valuable estates, the destruction of our labor system and the difficulty of pro- curiug seed cane, the production declined to about 10,000 hogsheads in 1865. Since then the yield has gradually iucreased from yeaf to year, and with moderate en- couragement from the Federal govern- ment the productien of sugar would ‘iu- crease fourfold, and within ten years, at the fartherest, Louisana alone, with her million acres of sugar lands would not only supply all our needs, bat be able to export in large quantities.—Vew Orleans Democrat. The Governor's Message. To the Honorable the General Assembly of North Carolina : In compliauce with the constitution and the time-honored custom of my predeces- sors, | have the honor to greet you as the representatives of the people aud to con- ter with you in regard to the state of our Commonwealth. ‘To an executive desir- ous of serving well his State, the meeting of the General Assembly is always the occasion of rejoicing, as it not only brings to his aid the wise counsels of legislators fresh from their constituents, but relieves him of much embarrassing responsibility; I, therefore, gladly welcome you to the capital and promise to co-operate most heartily with you in divisiug means to promote the public good. It is known to you that owing to causes which I need not here attempt to eluci- date, the people of the United States— and in a great measure of the civilized world —have been for some years past, and still are passing through a period of most re- markable financial trouble, producing everywhere much distress and even dis- aster. Of course North Carolina has shar ed these calamities and ber prosperity has been retarded, as has that of others. But I believe I can truthfully say that she has suffered as little, if not less, by these hard times than her sisters. Look- ing at the whole State and comparing her coudition with others, we have abundant reason to be thankful and take courage of the future. The public health has never been better; whilst the pestilence has played with pittiless fury among the homes aud pleasant places of our South- ern and Western neighbors, especially of our great daughter Tennessee. The pro- foundest quict and most reverential obe- dience to legal authority have prevailed throughout our borders, while rioting, robbing and defient lawlessness have dis- turbed the peace of many States North and West of us, accompanied both by ar- son and bloodshed. The crops of the last two seasons have been excellent and the means of subsis- tence have never been more abundant and cheap. ‘The industry of our people has been notably increased aud diversitied ; their farins, stock aud agricultural impli- ments show considerable improvement ; and while.the production of eur cash sta- ples has steadily enlarged, the amount of breadstutts purchased abroad has visibly diminished. This is an undoubted ev- idence of progress. But manufacturing enterprise and the legal class of specula- tion requiring more capital have not equally advanced, owing tw the financial derangement referred to, iu consequence of which there has been some distress among our mechanical popniation, inclu- ding labor, have ruled low. . Remembering that North Carelina is pre-eminently an agricultural State, your legislatiou should be directed towards the improvement of that interest mainly. In this connection I beg to call your atten- tion to the fact that the first and perhaps greatest necd of an agricultural people, thinly scattered over a wide extent of ter- ritor, is that of good highways and easy transportation for persons and ptoduets. As a general rule, from the lowland belt westward the highways of our State are as bad, if not worse, than any to be found in the Atlautic States. ‘The oid system of locating them and keeping them in re- pair, adopted by our fathers more than a hundred years ago, is still in ase, though its ntter inefficiency for nearly that length of time has been apparent. Of the incon- venience, cost and depressing tendency upon all industry which such roads ocea- siou, I need not stop to remind you; I shall only beg your earnest attention to the necessity fora change, and express my decided opinion that no permanent prosperity nced be expected unless this grievous evil is remedied. Certain great leading thoroughfares thiough the most convenient centres, and all pouring into the nearest railroad lines, might be cheap- ly and thoruughly eonstracted by convict labor, the counties through which they pass supporting the convicts. And as to the ruads discharging into these, I advise that some other method for their con- struction be devised. At the present time the United States | last pays not less than $100,000,000 to foreign countries for sugar. During the past year the consumption of sugar in this country has aggregated 745,250 tons, of which as much as 577,194 tons were im port- ed—nearly five-sevenths of the whole amount consumed. The gigantic frauds upon the revenue, and the wholesale adul- ly been disclosed in connection with the of the unreliability of the standards of a classes in believe, mai Se eee gee alar-education. This y due tothe action of ture in a for the establishment of normal schools. education at.the University, heiltieg tendered that place. They were establi somewhat differen ‘ otal had to the circumstances of each race. It was considered that the white race had already many educated teachers who sim- ply needed instruction in the art of teach- structed in both the elements of learning and the art of teaching. For the one therefore a six weeks school was held at Chapel Hill daring the summer vacations, and for the other a permanent school was established in Fayettville. Both have been remarkably successful—at the first session of the white school 225 teachers attended, and at the second one--the past summer, more than 400 teachers were present, representing about sixty counties. An excellent. corps of instructors were employed, the University gave the use of its buildings, its libraries, labrateries, and apparatus. The railroads vefy geu- crously gave reduced rates, the agent of the Peabody fund supplemented the ap- propriation with a handsome donation, and every dollar that could be spared was used to equalize the benefits of the State's bounty by paying the travelling expenses of the more indigent. Lectures by dis- tinguished citizens of the State en popu- lar themes were delivered almost daily with the best results. The undoubted ef- fect of the whole was to arouse an enthu- siastic interest in behalf of popular edu- cation among a large portion of our peo- ple, and to excite a spirit ef honest pride in their noble calling among all the teach- ers present, which will, it is hoped, do much good. The accompanying report of President Battle is referred to for partic- ulars. The colored normal school at Fayetteville was put in charge of Mr. Robert Harris, a native colored man of excellent character and capacity, super- vised by a board of local managers select- ed from the best business citizens of the town, who took a great interest in its welfare. It has beeu managed with un- expected success. The first session opened with fifty-eight pupils about forty ef whom have received certificates. as teachers, some of high grade; the second year be- gau with seventy-four pupils and is now in progress. The same donation was made to this school by the Peabody fund as to the white school, and the same scheme adopted to equalize its benefits. The re- port of Mr. Harris, to which you are re- ferred, will be as surprising as I am sure it will be pleasiug to all who desire the real welfare of our colored citizens. I sincerely hope the appropriation for both schools may be renewed, and the law be made to embrace both sexes. For though females have attended both schools by permission, yet the board of education did not feel at liberty toexpend any State money in their aid, which appeared a lit- tle ungallant for so Christian a people as ours, who are so well aware that asa general rule our female teachers are bet- ter than the males. The excellently worded memorial of the teachers them- selves, which accompanies the report of President Battle, is especially commened to your favor. BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. The establishment by the last Legisla- ture, in pursuance of the constitution of a department of agriculture, was a very im- portant step indeed to the welfare of this State. As was to have been expected the law has in some respects proven defec- tive, and will require some amending at your hands, but in the main it is an ad- mirable one. It is the tirst special effort ever made in the direct’ interest of agri- culture and has been hailed ly our farm- ing people with groat satisfaction. So far this bureau has cost the people nothing, the tax on the license to sell fertilizers have yielded sufticient revenue for all its purposes. As soon as possible after the passage of the law in 1877, . the organiza- tion of the board of agriculture was com- pleted by the election of the two intelli- gent farmers who now occupy seats in it, a commissioner was clected, a secretary and treasurer chosev, and work begun imumidiately. For the results of the first two years L refer you to the accompany- ing report of the commissioner, Col. L. L. Polk, which sets out everything in detail. I regard the beginning as excellent. The chief ditticulty in the way of doing any new thing among a people so conserva- tive as ours isin securing their prompt co- operation. It was foand very difficult at first to awaken an active interest in the operations of the bureau, but the impres- sion once produced is lasting and enlarg- ing. Special attention has been given to the analyzing and classification of fertili- zers, including maris ; to the re-stocking of our rivers with fish, and the prepara- tiou of a hand-book of information con- cerning the State and its resources. Much good has been eficcted, I am sure, and an interest excited that will lead to still more. A serious drawback to tish propagation is numerous dams and obstractions of the streams; and pulelic sentiment isin many places prevented from bearing upou the owners of these vbstructions by the sneers of the iguorant and the incredulous. This will disappear when the results are seen and the laws passed in aid of this impor- tant matter will then be helped in- their execution by a wiser popular opinion. The trouble with regard to the prepara- tion of a proper hand book has been the actual impossibility of getting statistics. The duties required of tax-listers under the sixth section of the act establishing the departinent, have been in seven cases out of ten evaded or openly and detiant- ly refused. Additional legislation is need- ed to make this law effectual. And in this connection I beg permission to re- mark generally, that the vital defect of our laws lies in the machinery previded for their execution. The general tenor of our legislation is excellent, as all who ! phiiosophically examiue our statues for a | hundred years past. will confess; but a; large portion of thend —often of a most beneficent character—lie dormant and in- operative. ‘There is vo power givev to — e ppropriating money Tn accordance with the law the board of Senna ee. — the whites an ided to locate | better ove for the blacks at Fayetteville, in a by the colored people t systems, regard being | It has ing, while the blacks needed teacliers in- boa: which excellent ones are’ teuce.

As to the work of the bureau, I desire to call our attention the subject of our uae I will not = dertake to poiut ont the many and most important functions which ful4ll in the economy of nature, and wh | the in- vestigations of scientific men ane. ever day bringing to the at of tiie wor but will content myself with: | ng to them as source of wealth, health and tr tility, and to the fact of their rapid and wasteful destruction. Depleted as they are, our — ae to day, perhaps, worth more intrinsically, properly m than the lands they gnae i een the value of those especial which sha- dow ve highlands round abvut the sources of our rivers is simply - able considered with ee ee falls, destructive floods, &c. The of this is plain to any one who has rved the condition of those valleys whose hill- sides have been entirely stripped of tin- ber and converted into that shame of Southern agriculture—old fields 3 and yet in the face of the increasing value of tim- ber and the decreasing value of the lauds from which it is rathleealy swept, the destruction goes on. Many counties already feel the evil keenly, and not inany years hence, if some remedy be uot applied, the outery will be general. 1 coufess I do not see my way clear to that remedy. I am aware of the difficulty and the danger of interfering with the owners legal righttodo what he pleases with his own. If he sees proper to cut his tim- ber, dry up the springs which feed our streams, and precipitate his soil inte their channels, changing their currents and deluging all the low lands below him, and Impoverishing him:e'f aud 145 childven, I can’t see hew he is to be hiudered, Buc the people of other nations are tiuding meaus by bouuses, exemption from taxa- tiou and other devices to restore the forests and deunded lands; and many of our counties are adopting laws, with re- gard to inclosing the lands, the effect of Which is to reduce the expenditure of tim- ber for farming purposes to the mini- mum. As guardians of the interests of an agricultural people, I commend this whole subject to your serious attention. I an requested by the board of agricultare te say that they coucur iu the recommenda - tions of the commissioner. I call your special attention to the re- port of Dr. Ledonx, director of the ferti- lizer central station. It is gratifying in the extreme, you will perceive, that the quality of the fertilizers sold iu the State has steadily improved, andthe marked value of the improvementamounts te more than $100,000 in two years! This is caus- ed ebviously by the fact that knowing their wares were to be subject to-a rigid scientific test, the dealers were careful to make them come up to the mark, and many others have quit the market alto- gether. ‘ PENAL AND CIIARITABLE INSTITUTIONS, Iam happy to say that the affairs of the penitentiary and the two asylams have been well managed by their respee- tive boards, and are in a satisfactory con- dition. The Deaf and Dumb and Blind Asylum makes perhaps mere satisfactory exhibit than it has ever done since its es- tablishment. With a large increase of pupils there has been a decrease of 16 per cent. in the total of expense. As you will see by the superintendent's report, with a redaced appropriation from former years, the board of this institution have saved $15,056.12 out of the amount, with which they have erected an elegant and much veeded addition to the main build- ing, at a cost of $7,576.55, and have still to their credit in the Treasary $7,489.57. Though results have not been quite so satisfactory with the Insane Asylum, yet, on the whole, it has done well. Notwith- standing the number of its inmates have increased, and some extraordinary and costly improvements have bees made, ex- penses have been kept down, aud it has lived within its appropriation. I reeom- mend that the board be authorized te build on the grounds a separate residence for the superintendent, and that bis pay be fixed in cash, as are the salaries of all the other principal officers of the various institutions of the State. I also recom- mend the repeal of section 29, chapter 4, of Battle’s revision, under whieh the State pays for transporting all patients to and from the asylum, to whem the clerks of the Superior Courts will give a certifi- cate that they have not property sufficient to pay their own expenses. Under that act the State is often imposed upon shame- fally. It is the nature of public charities to invite such abuses, eustom legitimatizes thein, and they become a base for still greater abuses. The only safe way is to use the knife promptly on their first ac pearance. It is known that much of the laws, as they now stand on the statute book, in relation to each of the asylanis and the peuitentiary, was abrogated by the decisions of the Supreme Coart iu litigation concerning their management about 1872, and some litigation has ‘been had since in eonsequence thereof. “The laws now have to be read with the dceci- | gious of the court’to arrive at the mean- ing. Implication also has to be resorted to in order to supply deficiencies. ‘This the chief executive, or any head of a de- vartment, to quicken the diligence or re- cake the criminal neglect of his sabor- | dinates; and mang of our best laws take the chance of the local favor or disfavor with which they be regarded, and are alive or dead as that may be. Proof of this is found in the namber of new stat- that should come down to the sheriff.— Randelph Reg- | nlator, I am happy to be able ta state that an increased juterest is manifest among all ues in relation to subjects concerning makes it extremely inconvenient for the board and all concerned, who sometimes have to cousult counsel before performing # plain duty. I recommend that the va- rious acts regulating these instttations be re-enacted, striking out those features de- clared void by the court, and the whole simplified and connected so as to be easily auderstood by all. = ae tere tion of your honorable body in this rel which cost more moncy than the company, Yester y- : S ny revenne law of the United St al pnes had ealtien we ne os éettld command.

I cannot conceive it pos- sible to devise one which would operate more uvequally, unjustly or prejudically to the treasury. The rule for every coun- ty, town and township is different, and the values of property situated in the sume locality and of the same character are as variavt and nnequal as the avoided, arbitrary, and often indifferent opinions of the assessors may chance to be. Very little property is assessed to anywhere wihthia the neighborhood of its valne, but that does not matter; the essential idea is to have the assessment bear the sime uniform proportion to the true value of the property taxed. Unless this is secured, one man pays a vastly higher tax than his neighbor, and one township or county than the adjoining township or county, and it is in the power—and often happens iu practice—of the two’ county I deemed it to be my ‘daty to assist™ the deliberations of the Supreme :Coart with argument from eounsel learned in, the law.

Influenced by these considerations I am induced to say that, in my opinion, it- is our poliey to provide labor for them on public works altogether, after the comple- tion of the penitentiary buildings, leaving within its walls only such as from feeble- ness or the nature of their crimes cannot be sent outside. In addition to the com- pletion of the roads begun by the State, and to which labor has been already as- signed, there are a nnmber of local rail- youds and turnpikes greatly desired in wany parts of the State, and valuable swamp lands to be drained, at which con- victs might be employed with great protit to the State, the counties or communities I think that supporting the cenvicts. whenever any county or community will obtaiu a charter for building a railroad or a turnpike, or draining a swamp or dyk- jug a river, and will undertake to support the hands, they should be given the con- vict labor. There are many fertile val- Jeys of greater or less extent, remote from railread facilities, such as the great val- ley of the Yadkin from Salisbury to Pat- terson, where well-to-do farmers I am sure woul! be induced to attempt the buildigg of the narrow guage rajlroads if they were given the necessary labor; and many excelent turppikes would be con- structed as feeders to eur railroads, and many Fish swamps might be drained in the same manner. In this way the in- creasing cost of the penitentiary would be kept down, and a vast benefit to the peo- ple be accomplished. DYKES FOR TIIE ROANOKE. As a further illustration of this idea, I beg Ieove to call your attention to the sit- uation of that rieh and oace productive region, the Roanoke country below Wel- don, At one time the Egypt of our State and a source of great wealth to our peo- ple, those splendid and iuexhaustible Jands are fast becoming a wilderness by reason of the destruction of the levees which contined the Roanoke within its banks. In the demoralized state of labor there and the reduced condition of the planters, it has been found impossible to replace them, and the whole region will be lost fo the State for generations if some- thing ig not doue to reclaim it, If the Lounties or citizens juterested will under- take £0 support the convicts and their until last September, when tinding the company ina failing condition, and ana- ble to pay, the hands were withdrawn, and placed en the Western North Carolina work, beyend the ridge. The Atlantic & North Carolina Bail- road has been enviroved with difficulties ever since my accession to office, some of which were called to the attention of the last Legislature; a suit begun in the State courts to impeach the validity of the mort- gage bonds, on the grouud of usury, was followed by a counter suit in the Federal courts to foreclose the mortgage and sell the road. These have at length been com- promised, on terms which it is thougbt will enable the road to live aud meet its interest promptly hereafter, the aecumu- lated interest being funded, and time of payment extended, the bondholders sur- rendering $10,000 of bonds and coupons te be canceled. When it came into the hands of the present board, it was appa- reutly in the last extremity of exhaustion. Its road-bed, track and bridges, worn out and unsafe, its rolling stock ran down, its employes unpaid, its interest really twelve months in default, and‘ floating debt of about $27,000 due—all this has been changed. The road bed, bridges and rolling stock, are now much improv- ed; the floating debt has all been paid, employes are paid off weekly, arrange- ents made to adjust its bonded debt, an old tax debt due the United States, con. promised at $6,500 is being paid at the rate of $500 per month, $1,500 being al- ready paid; and the president reports $10,000 iu the treasury on the Ist of Jan- uary to meet the interest when the first installment betomes due in July next. Its gross receipts for 1877 were about 12 per cent. greater than the year previous, and up to date of report were still greater for 1373. These are certainly very grati- fying results, and give positive assurance that the road can take care of itself, if run on business prineiples and by busi- ness men. It isa source of much regret to ne that the plan adopted by the board and approved by me to reach this end eansed snvh local opposition, and subject- ed all concerned to the imputation that the great desire of the board and _ nryself to suave the State’s property was pursued without regard to private interests. I believe and earnestly hope that when re- sults are seen, these unjust impressions will be removed. comment from me, PUBLIC DEBT. The public debt, it will be seen by the treasurer’s report, amounts to $16,960,- 045 principal and $10,160°182,25 interest. ‘Phis is known as the recognized debt, as contradistinguished from the special tax bonds. What shall be done with it isa question that deserves your best consid- eration. It is out of the question for us to attempt to pay it at its face value. In- deed I do not conceive that there is any moral obligation on us todo 80; nor do our creditors expect it of us, Quite one- half of our property apon which our bouds were based was want only destroyed by consent of a large majority of those who held them, and no court of conscience upon the earth would permit a creditor to destroy one-half of his security and claim full payment ont of the remainder. But we can and should. pay something. The resolution of last session constitu- ting the Governor, Treasurer and = Attor- ney-General, a committee to confer with our creditors, gave no power to make or accept any proposition wathever: and so an invitation to visit New York to con- fer with the holders of our bonds was de clined as the accompanying correspon- dence willshow. Besides this no attempt to open negotiations with us has been made. But l have grounds to believe that very reasonable terms indeed can be obtained if we cvince a determination te settle the question and be done with it. I reter exclusively to what is known as the “recognized” debt. So far as the special tax bonds are concerned, my opin- iou as expressed to your predecessors, re- mains unchanged—that they are not bind- ing either in law or gocd morals, unless it may be as to a very sinall fraction hon- estly appropriated to the State’s use and aceepted by her. For one] vow my readi- ness to co-operate with you tothe full extent of my power in devising the meth- od and bearing the burdens of an honor- able adjustment of all our indebtedness, as soinething which soener or later will have to be done alike for the sake of oar good vame and eur fuzure ‘prosperity. FEDERAL INTERFERENCE WITIT STATE COURTS. * lalsocall your attention to certain matters which have oceurred siuce your last session, apd which give rise to ques- tions of difficulty and grave importance, involving a serious conflict between the stancesareall set out wilh particuliarity in said decision, reported in 79 N. C., to which you are referred. Under a resola- tion of the Legislature ratified oa the 16th of Febraary, 1874, Lemployed counsel to assist. An amended bill against both de- fendants was found for obtaining money under false pretences, and the case now stands for trial. Itis alleged, however, that a compromise was made between parties acting for Swepson and the West- ern Division of the W. N.C. R. R. Com- pany, which by implication binds the State not to prosecyte. IL did not wish, if I possessed the right, to take the respon- sibility of deciding whether it does or does not, and so refused to interfere with the due course of law. I respectfully ask your will in the premise, and forbear far- ther remarks as manifestly improper up- on a case now before the courts. STATE PROPERTY HELD BY THE UNITED STATES. The property of the State, once called the Confederate Hospital, now known as the United States barracks in this city, has been ocenpied by the United States ever since 1865; and although the troops have long since been removed, possession or payment for its use have both been re- fused contrary, as it seems to me, to both law and public comity. In accordance with a resolution of the last General Assembly, T also applied to the Secretary of War to restore the offi- cial letier-books of the executive office of this State taken by military authority in 1365, or to permit me to make a copy to supply the place of the original in this of- tice. Both requests were refused. The correspondence between the Secretary of War and myself in relation to the bar- racks and the letter-booke, is herewith submitted. My opinion in regard to these matters being intimated in the corres- pondence itself, L make nog further com- ment. ‘ STATE GEOLOGIST. The State geologist survey having been made a co-worker with the board of ag- rieulture, its usefuluess has been thereby greatly increased te the people. Iu order that it may be made still more to meet the popular needs, I recommend that it be placed under the direction of the board of agriculture, of which the State Gevlo- gist is ex officio a member, instead of€ the board of education as at present, Tam satistied that the dissatisfaction which that the criticism of those unaequainted with the facts is often dangerous as well as unjust, as tending to force executive [action one Way or the other contrary to judgment or conscience.

If error there has been—and undonbedtly there was some—I am glad to believe that if was on merey’s side. The reports of the Secretary of State, Auditor, and Superintendent of Public lustraction are herewith sent and eom- mended to your attention. They evince economy and faithful work ou the part of those officers. The Auditor requests me to say that he resetves his special sugges- tions for the xarious committees of your honorable body, before which he will ap- pear from time to time. The Superintendent's report shows an eneouraging lucrease in the receipts and expenditures of the school fund and in the attendance of pupils.

Publie Printing.—The Observer has uev- er allowed any one to fix any price at which it would accept the public printing. In the matter of price for the work the Observer has been, and still 1s perfectly content to put itself in the hands of the Democratic members of the Legislature. Whatever they may do in this regard, as in others, the Observer proposes cheerful - ly to acquiese in. Will our esteemed Salisbury cotemporary, the Watehman, take the trouble amether time to learn whether the assertions it prints in regard to the Observer are true or false before giving them editorial prominence? If the Watchman will thus favor it the Observer will esteem it to be a great favor. The only matter of any interest to the public in the above is that the publie print- tng shall be let out to the man who offers to do it for the least money and can give a good bond for faithful perfomanee as per coutract. That is all the people can ask, and they eertainly expect nothing less. They are nut earing one red ceat | who is employed to do the work. Nor | have we, individually, amy chwuice as be- ‘tween the several candidates. We be- Tieve, however, it woald be better to put |it beyoud the areaa of politics entirely. There are competent and responsible job | priutezs in Raleigh who are struggling to | euild ap a solid interest in that line who | have nothing to do with politics to whom the work would be most titly given. We vespectfully submit this idea to our rep- resentatives. It would save a deal of trouble to settle this printing question | definitely and out of the ranze of polities, so that if should not come up every year to bedevil the Legislature aud disgust a patient bat suffering people. We urge this asa prudeutial measare. Parties are often short-lived. The people judge them by their works, and make or break thea ‘according as they subserve or abuse the confidence of the community. ‘his branch of the public business has heretofore giv- eu aanoyance and caused a waste of time }and money and may again be the cause of public abuse if-held up asa sngar-plum to tempt political aspirants to seek it. | Let it be diapused of ina strictly business Way, as any honest agent wonld do, gov- erned alone by the principles of right and duty. We did not, in mentioning the name of the Observer, proceed ou the assumption that it had ov had not authorised any one |to “fix on any priec,” or to speak for it in hany way in the premises. It was suffi- cient fer us that the Vews had proposed | to do the work at certain prices and there Were persous iu widely different parts of the State who nevertheless thought that the Observer would get the work to do; and one of these, a representative of the | Observer office, who said it would not be takgu at the figures offered by the News, | because “*we pay our compositors 374 cts. la thousand,” &c. The Observer came in incidentally, and notfrom any purpose of ours to give it prominence in this matter, and far less from doing it any injustice. We think we have a proper regard for the gentlemen who stand at its head and | certainly owe it to ourself to perpetrate (no flagrant wrong on any one, and there- ‘fore do not ueed the gracious admonition | of the Observer. rr Ee THE LEGISLATURE. This body is now getting at the work be- fore it. Muchof the time at the begin- | ning is necessarily spent in preliminary arrangements, forming committees, adopt- ing rulcs reviewing the situation, parcel- ling out the work, &c. We see by the report of proceedings on the 10th, thata resolution looking toa plan for the adjustment of the State debt was entered on the caleudar of the Sen- ate. Also, bills for drainiug low lands ; to apply the fees of attorneys te the pub- lic schvel fund; to punish the abduction | of children under 13 years of age ; to ren- der more speedy the execution of persons convicted of capital felonies; to punish the stealing of the dead; to restore the Whipping post; to elect Superior and Supreme court judges by the Legisture ; to allow defendauts iv certain criminal actions to become witnesses for themdel- ves; to repeal chap. 141, entitled an act to establish county governments ; to pun- ish incest; to punish the selling or giy- ing of poisonous drugs or medicine except upon prescription of a physician 3 to punish the seduction of women, &c, were presented and properly disposed of. Iu the House—A resolution in regard to the public debt. Bill—repealing the privilege tax ($5) on merchants passed its 3d reading; a resolution by Turner te investigate charges against the late Judge Heury, in relation to bis conduct in the matter of the compromise with Swepson in the trial of the case in Hay- wood county. It passed, and Turner, Lockhart and Foard were appointed the commitice. The Senate Bill repealin chapters 50 and 100, laws 1873-74 passer final reading. In the Senate, next days, steps provi- ding tor the Moffet bell punch; a bill to fix the pay of officers of the General As- sembly ; principal aud assistant cerks $5 per day and mileage; other clerks and doorkeeps $4 per day and mileage. By Mr. Henderson, a Dill to prohibit the re- moval of criminal causes except when the ends of justice absolutely require it. A bill to make justices of the peace ex- officio rangers. A bidl (by. Henderson) to define the criminal jurisdiction of jus- tices of the peace, and enlarging their jurisdiction. House Bill repealing priv- Uege tax on merchants passed final read- ing. i the louse, Saturday, there was pre- sented a petition ef the citizens of Rowan, asking for the abelition of the homestead law, anda revival of the whipping post. Who Will Get.the State Printin ?—We| | the prespects are good for quite a full ei z ion dounty; ; ed j f Bills introduced.and placed.on calen- der: Exempting billsand mo from seal tax; An amendment favoring Ches- ter and Lenoir N.

We have thus presented in as condens- ed a form as possible the work in the hands of the Legislature on Friday and Saturday last. 16 will be seen that they have before them many of the measures demanded by the people, and we are therefore cheered with the hope that this body will distinguisia it:-if as ove of the best that ever convened in the State cap- itol. : TED <> ae Judge Merrimon’s Withdrawal.—Sena- tor Merrimon sent in to the Democratic ing his name as a candidate for re-elec- tion to the U.S. Senate. He says: “My friends have ascertained that what- ever may be the popular desire far’ my re-election to the Senate-of the United States, causes and influences have Ween brought to bear that will prevent ny re- election. . “I have’no desire to disturb the quiet of the Demoeratie party by further con- test over the Sefatorship, and, hence, beg my friends not te mention my name fur- ther vow in that connection.” We regret the Judge has seen fit to use ambiguous terms in this short note. Al- most everybody will want to knew what is meant by ‘causes and influences have been brought ta bear,” &e. To onr mind it seems tu be a very clear case of popular preference for Gov. Vance—simply that and nothing more—and as such fair and honorable to all; and terms of uncertain signification under the circumstances are anbeecoming the Jadge and disrespectful to the popular sense. eer —— New Cemetery.—We are glad to see that there isan effort on foot to secure the Fair Ground property in this vicinity for a Cemetery. It isa much needed euter- prise, and should be liberally encouraged. The property named is admirably suited to the purpose, and can be had at lower figures than any other property at all available. There is a building already onthe premises for the keeper of the grounds, and with slight repairs the present enclosure will stand a number of years so that the grounds are ready to be laid ont into plats and ornamented as the patrons may desire.

Her mother was at the spring washing and the child came run- ving with her clothes all ina flame, and when'she arrived at the. spring, nothing was left upon her person save a collar- band and her stockings. She lived from 12 M., at the time of barning, until night. It is not Known how she took tire. Her mother’s hands were badly burned by trying to extiuguish the flames. F.38.8.

At home, abroad, at achoel, at sing, You've tried to tane your harps to play The duptial song—a noble thing: And never yet have struck the lay. Still @ther plans you yet may try ; But at the end of sixty years You'll raise the bacheloric cry — Yon need not think to advertise, And thus secare some lady’s hand ; Had they not sense of ears and eyes, A little chynce you then might stand.

ROLLER. endl persons are spending the best part of; their lives in useless display and pre- tentious wealth, and before they are aware of it, sickness and death hur- ries them away, and they leave their families penniless and dependent on the slim charities of an unfeeling world of mammon sinners. The ups and downs of this life are so frequent, that enquiry as to the causes reveals noth- ing but what could be easily seen— “living beyond one’s means.” Is this state of affairs to continue ? Must any man, presuming to know his own business, yield to the fictitious ideas of society, and, from year to year, increase his expenses beyond any ra- tional expectation of paying his debts until so deeply involved that despair fosters idleness and drunkenness and questionable modes of living? To honest people, this is the only alter- native; to dishonest people, who be- lieve the world owes them a good living, it is time thrown away to sug- gest economy in all things. (From the Southern Planter and Farmer.) FACTS FOR THE TIMES. A large part of mankind live in hope, and, without this heavenly at- tribute, so lavishly bestowed, there would be little incentive to labor, es- pecially in disastrous times. For a decade of years this has kept up the drooping spirits of the disappointed farmer. In all weathers and under all vielssitudes, he has toiled from year to year, hoping against hope, to surmount the billows of trouble; and many courageous souls have succumb- ed to evils, over which they had no control. When we look into the fu- ture there is nothing to cheer. Poor crope and low prices have subdued the energetic into passive submission, and the coming year offers but little encouragement. The Westerm far- mer, with his rich land, improved ag- ricultural implements, intelligent la- bor and cheap transportation, may live and prosper, but the Virginia farmer cannot. With corn at forty cents per bushel, wheat at eighty cents, pork at three-and-a-half cents per pound,.and tobacco and other things in proportion, there is no profit—not even eosts; and, what must be done in the future, is the momentous ques- tion. One plan must be persued, though it is inconvenient and irksome and mortifying to one’s pride. It is to reduce expenses to income. If a farmer makes only fifty dollars to the hand, he must make his outlays to be settled by the profits of the farm. If he does not do this, he must live on some oue’s labor, which is unpaid for. The field hand generally gets his pay, but the merchants and other creditors must suffer. ‘The consequence is, that a large portion of the people are liv- ing onthe other portion, and conse- quently there is but little prosperity for any. ‘This reduction of expenses must take place before credit is gone and poverty knucks at the door. Com- mence in the family, and let each per- son be reared from childhood to be independent.

About twenty-five miles from the city of New York, on a wide expanse of praire land, and from an elevation in sight of the ocean, is a newly built town called Garden City. Everything is new about it, fur ten years ago not a house was standing there; the trees themselves are struggling with the soil for a secure lodgment; the streets, good as fur as they are made, all ter- minate in unbroken or freshly culti- vated fields, and the one hotel seems wondering what it was put there for, ag of all places in the world Garden City is about the last to invite trav- elers. ‘Those who live there are mcr- chants or clerks from New York. ‘There is nota manufactory of any kind in the vicinity, or astore, ex- cept those miscellaneous affairs found in every country village. It isa farm- ing country, rich in dairies, hay, corn and cabbages, but a more quiet and serenely peaceful country is not any- where tou be found. Garden City may be traversed at noon-day with- out meeting a human being. Inthe centre of this ambitious town, all of which belongs to one es- tate—that of the late Alexander T. Stewart—rises one of the stateliest churches in this era of ecclesiastical magnificence. It is yet unfinished, but its spire points heavenward, and if bears all the evidence of high art and of unlimited wealth. The stranger unacquainted with the history or its construction would wonder over it more than the hotel, for there is no population to fill it. Probably, it will have its active uses in the future; it may possibly be the center of great educational movements, but its chief end was to serve as a monument to the man whose money built it, and whose bones were to rest in a costly and magnificent crypt beneath its stately roof. No civilian ever before had a tomb so grand, a mausoleum so enduring. A description of itsays : “On either side of the cathedral granite steps lead under the church. A short passage, about twelve feet wide, extends toa mortuary chapel. This is about twenty-six feet by thir- ty-six feet. There will be two en- trances from this chapel into the mausoleum, which will be directly under the chancel of the church pro- per. <As yet itis only rough brick walls, but those who have made a careful study of the plans say that it will be one of the finest of its kind in the world.

Many a farmer has no carriage or vehjdfe for his family, and he pre- fers to pay his debts and continue his struggle to live honorably than to ride ina vebiele and dress in costly appa- rell—aQ, unpaid for. Suppose this rule was adopted through the State of Virginis, the result would be several millions of dollars saved and circula- ting int the State instead of being car- ried outa State, and in this way trying tO eqdalize the balance of trade, the tidjes would become easier, and with more money in circulation, con- fidence would return, To accomplish this object the whole people must practice economy, and continue it for many years, which cannot be expect- ed.

The front column of each triangle will be of black Irish fossil marble, with a beautiful white vein, and all highly polished. The remain- ing columns will be of white marble, but of different kinds. At the head of the crypt will be a white marble pedestal, three feet high, on which a life-sized figure of the Angel of Res- urrection will stand. In the middle of the crypt a sarcophagus will be erected. It will be of granite, and about six feet in height, with space for one coffin.

We never wake in the morning but we want strength for the day; we nev- er go to bed at night without needing grace to cover up the sins of the past. We are needy at all periods of life; when we begin with Christ in our journey days we need to be kept from sins and follies. In middle of life our needs are greater, and in old age we are needy still. So needy are we that in lying down to die, we necd our last bed to be made for us in mer- cy.

In 1872 your Vegetine was recommended to me, and yielding to the persuasions of a friend, I con- sented to try it. Atthe time I wus suffering from eee debility and nervous prostration, superio- duced by overwork and irregular habits.

Since then I have not hesitated to give Vezetine my most unqualified indorsement, as being a safe, sure and powerful agent in promoting health and restor- ing the wasted system to new life and energy.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. pain in the right side, under the ’ I edge of the ribs, increases on pres- sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side ; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe- tite and sickness; the bowels in gen- eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem- ory, accompanied with a painful sen- sation of having left undone some- thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. ‘The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa- tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer- cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy.

Tarleton bore in the war of the revolution, for in ti.3 sec- tion, at least, the rame is as familiar as a household word. piece of this old book, it may be re- marked, however, represents the face of the dashing young officer—a face of singular attractiveness, clean-shav- en, delicately-featured, and more like that of a woman than that of a man. This book which he wrote after the war ended, presents many points of interest to the reader of to-day. We are constrained to copy a paragraph or two from it, that the men of the present generation may see of what stern stuff their forefathers were made, even according to the confessions of an enemy. What Tarleton wrote of the men of Mecklenburg was not in- tended as complimentary ; quite the contrary; but it is complimentary, none the less, as au acknowledgement of their courage and as going to show how strong within their bosoms was the love of liberty; as showing how implacable was their hatred of kingly oppression, and what hardships they would bear and what dangers enco- ter for the sake of freeing themselves of their bonds, In the light of the facts here pr - sented, with which all other history agrees, as to the liberty-loving char- acter of the carly Mecklenburgers, andas to the stern bravery with bwhich they asserted their principles, it is not at all to be wondered at that their decendants have never failed to prove themselves worthy, inany great emergeney, of the name of men and citizens. With sucha lineage they could hardly do less, and for them to ever do less will be for them to dis- honor not only themselves but the dead.

It was evident, and it had been frequently mentioned to the King’s officers, that the counties of Mecklenburg and Rowan were more hostile to England than any other in America. The vigilance and animosity of these surrounding districts checked the exertions of the well affected, and totally destroyed all communication between the King’s troops and the loyalists in those parts of the province. No British commander could obtain any information in that position, which would facilitate his designs, or guide his future conduct. Every re- port concerning the measures of the governor and assembly would un- doubtedly be ambiguous; accounts of preparations of the militia could only be vague and uncertain; and all intelligence as the real movements of the continentals be totally unattainable. force and | must | The foraging parties were every day harassed by the inhabitants, who | did not remain at home, to receive’ payment for the produce of their) plantations, but generally fired from covert places, to annoy the British Ineffectual attempts were made upon convoys coming from Camden, and the intermediate post at Blais mill; but individuals with expresses were frequently’ murdered. detachments. An attack was directed against the picket at Polk’s mill, two miles from the town; The Americans were gal- lantly received by Lieutenant Guyon, of the 23rd regiment; and the fire of his party from a loop-holed building adjoining the mill, repulsed the as- sailants. Notwithstanding the differ- ent checks and losses sustained by the militia of the district, they continued their hostilities with unwearied per- severance ; and the british troops were so effectually blockaded in their pres- ent position, that very few, out of a great number ef messengers, could reach Charlotte town in the beginning of October, to give intelligence of Ierguson’s situation, be THE NOBLEST OF THEM ALL. ‘The Letter Which He Writes to the Tel- ler Committee— What He Says and The Specifications He Furnishes. WASHINGTON, January 1.—The following explains itself: WASHINGTON Crry, Jan. Ist,’79. To Hon. H. M., Teller, Chairman of the Select Committee of Investigation : I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of yours of the 21st ult., enclosing a copy of the resolution adopted by your committee, reques- ting me to furnish in writing such facts and such evidences as may be in my possession touching the matter in- volved in the amendment made on my motion to the resolution under which the committee is acting. Of course the committee does not sup- pose that the matters embraced in that amendment are within my personal knowldge or that of any one man. They relate to the elections in every part of the republic, and the allega- ltions are to be found for the most ‘part in the public press. In opening his speech in support of his resolu- from Maine distinctly stated that the ‘resolution was based on accounts giv- en in the press. Well, the press has ‘teemed with statements which, iftrue, ' require the investigation proposed by my amendment, and asI have no | doubt that the members of the com- mittec read the papers quite as dili- gently as I do, it is probable that they know where to look fur sources of in- formativy as fully as I do; and as ters it embraces require investigation quite as much as the matters contain- ed in the original resolution, it will be proper for me, especially since the committee has requested it, to farnish such information touching the sub- ject as may from time to time eome under my observation, I therefore send herewith installment No, i, con- sisting of . cn First.

The Governor’s message is in full accord with public sentiment in the State on the question of the State debt: The public debt it will be sen by the ‘Treasurer’s report amount to $16,- 960,045,00—principal and §10,160,- 182,25 interest. This is known as the recognized debt, as coutradistinguish- ed from the special tax bonds. What shall be done with it isa question that deserves your best consideration. It is out of the question for us to attempt to pay it at its face valne, Indeed I do not conceive that there is any mor- al obligation upon us to do so ; nor do our creditors expect it of us, Quiteone- half of our property upon which our bonds were based was wantonly de- stroyed by consent of a large majority of those who held them, and no court of conscience upon the earth wonld permit a creditor to destroy one-half of his security and claim full payments out of the remainder. But we can and should pay something. I have grounds to believe that very reasonable terms indeed can be obtained, if we evince a determination to settle the question and be dune with it. I refer exclusive- ly to what is knawn asthe “Recog- nized” debt. So far as the special tax bonds are concerned my opinion as expressed to your predecessors remains unchanged, that iliey are not binding either in law, or good morals unless it may be as to a very small fraction honestly apropriated to the State’s use and accepted by her.—Ral.

The convention of Northern men now residing in the South metat Charlotte, N. C., on the 15th, aud after a free inter- course agreed on the folowing : ADDRESS To the People of the Several Common- wealths Composing the United States of America : We, the representatives of Northern settlers in the Southern States, and being ourselves immigrants from localities in the Northern States to the respective States following our individal signatures, in convention assembled, do call your at- tention to the following, feeling assured that cool jadgment upon the facts shown will set in flow the crrrents of reason, and and action will follow reasoning without prejudice. We prefer to make findings specially and at length, and we find: Ist. Thatin the States of our former homes there exists an active prejudice against the South, and its people; that this prejudice is mighty in its intlnence for evil on the nation; that by it and through it the conditions of the country ave largely disquieted; that it is fomented aud kept alive for ends ulterior to the common weal; that the real. interest of the nation are kept out of sight in keep- ing alive this prejudice. That much of this prejadice, if not all of it, is dae main- ly to wrong information concerning (and partial and total ignorance of) the facts existing in a large portion of the South. 2d. That in the portions of the South in which we reside, the right of any man, from no matter where, to express public- ly as well as privately his epinion upon any sabject and of every nature, js no- where and in no manner restrained. That all laws are well administered and as tra- ly enforced against the wrongdoer ‘as in any part of any State in the Union. 3d. That any man who has so conduct- | ed himself at his turmer home as to win the regard of honest men and decent peo- ple, by pursuing the same course of life in the Seuth, does gain and keey the re- gard and respect of all people, regardless of any question of politics or religious faith ; and we further find that being a Northern man is certainly no disadvan- tage. : 4th. That every citizen recoguizes that he is amenable to the law, and that local self-government is as much required, and encroachments upon these as much de- plored as in any State North, East or West. . Sth. We find, too, that persons foisted themselves upon the polity of the South, and by their conduct cast discredit upon the Northern pame. 6th. ‘Chose of ue who were iu the army of the Union never for a moment pretend- ed to think of denying our uviforin or the uld cause.

We find that the South needs more people badly, and that none appreciate it more than the native population, and that they are willing to offer fair inducements to industrious people to come and settle among them. If residence among a peo- ple and having daily social and business contact with them means anything, then we ask a fair consideration by all people of the facts we herein find, and that at least the same credit may be given to our statements that is given to the unsuppart- ed statements so swift in their mission of dissension and misrepresentation. llth. That east of a line drawn from Richmond, Va., to Raleigh, N. C., thenve to Columbia, S. C., thence to Tallahassee, in Florida, the country on the eastern side ‘of the South Atlantic States contains a vast extent of rich alluvial lands, fine sandy loams, a considerable extent of swamp and arid sand, heavy forests of pine and cypress, fine fisheries and har- bors, important water powers avd vast beds of marl aud shell; that in this sea- slope belt, from the Potomac to the gulf, is grown all products that are grown in any of the States of the North, and in ad- dition tine qualities of tobacco, cotton and rice, while south of Savanuah the bana- na and other trepical fruits add their value. 12th. That about 60 miles westward of the line given, the country gradually rises, and at about the line given becomes gent- ly undulating, and assumes its distinctive character as the foot hills of the Blue Ridge range. of mountains and becomes the country known as the Piedmout belt, and is comprised in that strip of country lying to the west of the line given for an average distance of about 150 miles, in some parts narrower and in others slight- ly wider, its eastern limit having an alti- tude of frem 300 to 400 fect, rising by graduations to a height of from 900 to 1,100 feet op its eastern line. Within this Piedmont belt are forests of oak, ash, hickory, walnut, maple, beech, birch, all the hard woods with yellow pine and oc- casional belts on the higher ridges of white piue. Rivers and creeks afford, with their tributaries, abundant water, and these streams fail not, neither go dry. Abundant water powers, large numbers of them averaging from 12 to 20 feet, and many from 25 to 50 feet, and others from 6U to 150 feet of natural fall, on streams having a width of from 100. to 700 feet. Some of these water powers have cotton and woolen mills thereon, and any one wishing to be interested, can be shown that these are paying handsomely. The suil is generally a red clay ov mulatto or chocolate Jaud, grey loam and black svil. The bottom lands yield largely; those of the uplands moderately. On the kind of culture hitherto followed in the South— which is in no degree up to the Northern standard, yet owing. to ease of transpor- tation to market, shortness of lines and the kindness of the climate, the money valne of all crops exceeds that of the fields of Kansas or Minnesota. “A. We find in this belt, mines of gold, iron, copper, coal, limestone, mica, bary- tes, mineral paint, corundum, ete., ete., which, if worked with the assiduity and appliances as elsewhere, would furnish labor toa vast population, and equal in yield to those of other States more known te popular report. “B. We find the climate of this belt sa- lubrions, invigerating and restoring; that its summer temperature is lower and cooler by several degrees than at the North, that gentle breezes keep the sum- wers restful; that drouths or failnre of crops are unknown, that insects and pests destructive te crops have no -existence; that the winters aic moderate and short; that animal life is easily supported with- out expensive methods of care and con- stant working to feed the labor of the summer away; that here man works for himself and his, and not for his brates; that there is no month in the year but that out of door Iabor on the farm can be done and plowing is not ordinarily inter- fered with by frost or snow. - C. We fiud the country healthful, well drained and singularly free from ague, malarions fevers and malignant disease; and, where any such cases have occurred it will be found dae tu neglected local canses, such as dams in marshy places, obstructed ponds eansing back-flows and consequent stagnation. D. We tind that cotton, tobacco, all the cereals, the apple, peach, fig, pomegran- ate, all varieties of frnit, the yrape and various berries thrive and matnre finely —the peach bearing in three years from the seed. That the tame grasses are grown with slight effort, and are a profit- able crop; that sheep, cattle and swive y handsomely. E. We find that all ocenpations par- sued for profit, whether in trade, law, ag- riculture, mechanics, manufacturers, when pursued here with the same persistency and inethods as other couutries, yield as large returns with Jess strain. j= 13th. We find that to the west of the Piedmont belt is a vast extent of moun- tain country nearly 200 miles in width. This is composed of high table lands rich in vataral grasses of the most «ncculeut character; fiue' mountain slopes not too precipitous, avd narrow valleys of the the coutry is from 1,100 to 2,300 feet abote the sea; its 8th.

That manufactures at the Soath ° oe pred, Srertas and that an ten extensive cmton factories, numbering more than 200,000 spindles, are in successful operation by a inion “of native und Northern capital, and that several hundreds of cotton factories, aver- uging from 1,000 to 10,0U0 spiudies, are in -snecessful and profitable ration vlong the water courses, with abtrndant reout fer other and larger factories; that: these factories are mainly owned and ’ managed by Southern people and the oeratives come from the native white popitlation. We find these several sonrees of profit in cotton manufactare whieh are | lost in the North: @ Ist. The factories are in the field of production; the producer and manufactal’” rer are brought together, and the profits of the interchange remain at hone. 2nd.

Excceding ‘cheapness of building material and common labor. 6th. Cheapuess of fuel; wood not or- er $1.25 a cord. 7th. Factories need not be heated to exceed 40 days per year. \ 8th. A good home market in a conn- try where the money crop, being cotton, means cash, and not trade, for that crop, aud home product selling side by side with the Northern made article at the same price, throws cost of freight, &c., into the pocket of the Southern ‘manu- facturer, so that that which constitutes two itmes of expense in Northern manu- facture becomes two profits to the Seuth- erner. 17th. We find that the modes of agri- culture pursued at the South are strange- ly thriftless: that the implements in use, the wagons and means of farm transpor- tation and cultivation are most rude ; that if the same modes of farming were followed in the North, and the same im- plements used, bankruptey, rain and squalor would follow in every instance ; that the Southern farmer prospers by such methods and tools is due to the kind- ness of Providence in giving «a climate aud soil which almest previde for man themselves; almost certainly for beast; for but few feed stock at all, the very minimum of exertion produces more than . a living. Northern farmers pursuing the courses of farming here that they do at home will amass wealth. ‘18th. We find that no attention what- ever has been given to roads or bridges in the South; that passage over many portions of the higher country is mont diffienlt ; that gullies and holes exist in them oftentimes, renderin high - ly unsafe and adding terribly to the i of marketing products, that frequently bridges have dan holes in them, and are of round poles laid loosely; that the approaches to many of the’ cities and towns, where the roads ran‘ together and travel gathers, are miracles of badpessand call for ready atteution, in not alone the enforcement of the very wise and full rvad laws, already existent, but the addi- tion of a road tax giving the citizens, as in other States, the option to pay a road tax in money or labor. ~ ; 19th. We find a good code of school laws providing for a system of free pub- lie schools ; the sparseness of the u- lation prevents the full administration of them, and the fund is divided with fair- ness between both white and black. -The people believe aud act upon the priacipls - that ignorance is the mother of erime and vice as well as of supersition.

V hag has jeopardized it, is that In gowe” pare, tions it was made the subject of public plun- der afew years since by those having charge of its disbursement. aVth. We find, that taxes since bome rule has beep given to the South, have very materially lightened. In North Caro- Jina and Georgia they are very low, while. ju the other States they are high, owing to a system of graceless plunder, uneon- acionable issues of illegal bonds, and di- version of funds from their proper uses. The details of this question, that ia the rate of tax, we prefer to leave to the ap- plication of the party waufing knowledge to the collectors of the several counties, or the auditors of the public moneys of the respective States. It will be found, however, tpat the rate of tax is based upon a valuation of little over one-third, ifany, 2}st. That while fruit thrives in the|p South most luxuviantly, yet Jittle atten- tion whatever is paid to varjetigs; vines go untrajved and trees unpruved , that in a country where fruit of all kinds thrives without any climatic causes for destrac- tion,yet nowew Varictiesare bred. The fruit iv largely common variety, and all ripens at about the Bame time. No attempt Is made to save it and it hangs upon the trees, breaking them down with its bur- den, the Uran¢ghes not even being _prep- . But few nurseries exist and cities could be named which have no nursery within 100 miles. The erange districts are more cared for as regards the cultiva- tion of that fruit ae a crop, butall other fruit have hitherto been neglected. Latterly, attention is being paid to earlier varitics and also, kinds which ripen at dilferent periods. The sales of fruit trees frem Northern nurseries are very large, As a business, canning fruit could be made a@ profitable industry, especially sinee peaches bear iu three years figs the ‘seed. ; . 9d. We Sud that no attentioy js paid to stock growing or sheep husbandry, neither to waking of butter and cheese and, that vast portions of the. South are in every element eminently adapted to these industries, any of whjch would re- turn large profits. Ina small Way syme thrifty persons bave turned their atten; tion to some one or other of these things, and their resultant profit from stock aud sheep, are exciting attention to this sub- ject. Cattle are generally of infeyor kind and recive little feed in winter; rely ov grass in summer and are in but few in- stances housed. ‘The same remarks ap- ply in a general way to horses and males and thoagh more care is exercised with them, yet no particular attempt is made in the country to attaiu good breeds; as a consequence horses are cheap in a coun- try where tine horses ave admired. Good Jiorses sell for good prices in the thickly populated districts, and aye brought from ‘other parts of the country. Jn this as in many other things the South isthe mar ket tur the North. 23d. We tind that much, if not all, of thisapparent waste and inattentien to vast elements of material profit, the throwing aside of opportunity for wealth is due to these facts largely. When the war closed, the labor system of the South was destroyed; the white people were penniless and came back to devastated fields with nothing to go upon, their farm tools lost or destrayed. Iu many, if not most cases, large tamilies were depen- dent upon the returned soldier who nev- er before had done a day’s labor in the tield, aud had no experience in theory, much less practice, iu labor of any kind. They must then not only learu the busi- ness of agriculture but make a support. Cotton at that time, ruled high in price, aud meant money; so that every energy and every bit of attention was turned to its culture to the neglect of grains, fruit, cattle, &c.; and to rajse as Jarge g cotton crop as possible with the least outlay was the purpose of all. Gradually the ex- perience of years, the falling of the price of cotton, showed the Southern farmer that he must no longer pay money fr bread and meat, when it could be more cheaply produced; and in the last few ‘years they have shown attention to agri- cultural chemistry, the treatment of soils aud a direction toward other important brauches of husbandry, stock and truit growing. 24th. We find that crops may be grown as follows: Wheat, oats, &c., s0wn ib in September or October or as late as December, is harvested in May or June; that on this ground nay be planted corn, together with peas, and potatoes may be Aanted as late as July aud harvested in ate October, and iy some portions tur- nips way be planted after the late potato crop, thus making two and three crops per year. The farm year begins in Sep- tember, then fall crops are sown, and rent. contracts are made. Seeding of small giaius goes on until December; and in Fedruary spring work begius upou the farm. goth. We find that it is not necessary to move in colonies or squads, unless it bea matter of choice among friends or neighbors so to do. Socially no advan- tage avises to the stranger who Inay group with a number of other strangers, to set- tle iu a bedy as strangers to each other aiMong stranges. Social consideration and protection is gained quite as quiekly by the single settler as it would be if he settled with a colony. Jt willin all cases be found wise to learn the experignees of the native farmer, get his observations on the soil, and kindred things, and to do just as you wonld elsewhere. Be neigh- borly, pay and retarn visits; we find our- selves always welcome, and discuss party politics also, when in the order of conver- sation it becomes a topic, quite as freely as we did anywhere. 26th. We tind that farm and drudge la- bor here is very cheap, the wages being from $6 tu $10 per mouth, with rations furnished, these consisting of meal, pork and molasses, supplied weeely ; that un- der these eonditions no may who expects to make his living as a farm or drudge hand, ought to think of coming ty the South, ‘There is also a full supply of me bby of cJerks and yyung professional men. * 27th. We find that any man who has the energy to go West, with limited means, and trusts to his energy and the smiles of Providence, and who sucegeds there, could, take the syue energy aud tryst and have greater ceytainty of success in jhe South. Ile has no grasshoppers, nor euduring ice, nor snow, gor blasting drought, not yio- Jent winds.

We find that a man with means enough to keep himself on a farm or in a sinall industry antil he matures a crop, can get very liberal terms of time pay- ment on lands, at low prices from the na- tive population; and, that with a proper- ly directed energy and industiious and saber habits he cannet fail to live very comfortably and accnmulate property. 2th. We tind that no man is ostracised for his opinions oy on account of the land of his birth ; but aa elsewhere for lris bad acts and dishovest failure to meet his trusts and obligations. We find; too, that itis a mistake to treat suspiciously or to ignore the kiudly offices of neighborly friendship in al] cases extended toa stran- ger and that sometimes persons have re- elled kindpess and then complained of being let alone. 30th. We tind that the Southern native expects Northern people to have notions ov polities and other topics different from his, and views with as much contempt as is elsewhere done, any man who truckles or toadies for simple gain. 3lst. We find, that to the people of the other sections of the United States, the South is an unknown kand so far as re- lates to knowledge of its soil, its climate, its healthfulness and its. people. That it is libelled for partisan ends and we pre- sent this document in all conscience and honor, to give honest knowledge and cor- rech wroug reports, In a document of this kind we cannot give detailed fignres of products per acre, nor the yield per ton of ores, nor the as- say Value of minerals, nor the monthly thermal range for each point, nor many other special facts, but we, each of us, in- vite correspondence and will furnish faets and tigures yegarding our several Ipcali- ties on application.

PUBLIC EXPENSES AND THE STATE | . DEBT, The present Legislature have thus far exhibited a just appreciation of one of the leading desires of their constituents—the reduction of public expenses—and haye already adopted some measures and ini- tiated others to thisend. A close scrutiny should be made into every subject of pub- lic expense, and everything of doubtful value to the State lopped off entirely, or the cost reduced to the scale of absolute utility. This is due to the people not only in view of their pecuniary embar- rassments, but also in respect to their good fame for honesty. The next in im- portance is to do something tewards ar- ranging THE STATE DEBT. It is hoped that this Legislature will distingyished itselfin the display of great- er wisdom and statesmanship than any of its predecessors siace the war. ‘That they will not cowardly shrink from the responsibility resting upon them by leay- ing this subject as they found it. And more than all, that they will not turn their backs on the creditors of the State and give a pleased attention to those sub- jects whieh call for appropriations of money. It will not do to affect the charac- ter of liberality at the expense of justice. The bondholders of the State have claims on this Legislature of higher dignity than any scheme of internal improvement, ' schools, or anything else. It is not nec- essary, we trust, to offer anything in sup- port of this proposition. Every honest man in the country detests the man who will not pay his debts and who yet finds the means for “keeping up appearances” for himself and family. Why should not every honest community denounce North Carolina while she neglects to pay her debts and yet spends large suns jn liber- al enterprises!) They do denounce her, and her bonds in the market rate accord- ingly. This isa reproach, a shame, which should be speedily wiped out, and the character of the State redeemed. Let the debt be put in a form available to those who loaned the State good money and took her promises to pay. These creditors, many of them, have been compelled by the sheriffs to pay their taxes annually to the State while the State has constantly refused or neglected to recognize her debt tothem. This is a grievous hardship. The State may indeed owe an education to all her children; she may owe to cer- tain sections material aid for improve- ment, but before all these she owes those who loaned her money, and it is a simple violation of every principle of justice to appropriate money to any purpose which dves not promote her ability to discharge the debt of primary obligation. EN ace Overrated.—We lave beard, now and chen, somebody say, “Vauce is an over- rated man.” We begin to fear it is true. The newspapers every where are rejoicing over his election and predicting what he will glo when he gets into the U.S. Sen- ate. It is impossible that he should real- ize to them all the extravagant notions of these his overjoyous friends. We pre- dict that the Governor will be one of the most quiet members in the Senate for at lgast one year, perhaps longer, If any one sppposes*he will be up making speeches or cracking jokes every fen miu- lites fren) ihe time he enters the Senate, their disappointment will amoynt to mor-} tification and remorse, We would not) mlvjse them to go out at once and hang themselves, but we would advise them to pare down their expectations to about: one-fourth theiy present dimensions. They pre at least four times as large as they ought to be, Thyt the Govprupr wil]. be Sou’ hawd” yl h yeeded, ‘Wo igs note dopht; avd that-die will prove . wat the occasion, js algo sure.’ But don’t supe. pose for a mowent that he will forget the ABy.map, they, with the pluck to make dignity of his position. z eet do not avail themselve if ita) of himsclfa Western piogeer, can w thin bs eleghion for U>8.

We believe it would have been fatal to the stability of the democratic party had it been otherwise. It is there- fore the people’s triumph over a cow par- atively small but inve ‘erate party who sought to defeat them as they had done once before. It must go far to. convince his opponents that the people were in earnest, and very decided is their pre- democrats they should now. freely and heartily ‘‘accept.the situation.” and cheer- fully co-operate in all the grand designs of the party for the good of the country. —_ ano MR. BROWN Of Mecklenburg, is one of the working men of the Legislature. In loaking over the proceedings of that bedy his name frequently comes up either in proposing or sustaining some measure of importance. He has been made the organ for’ present- ing numerous petitions against the desce- eration of the Sabbath by railread ‘trains, for which he has also offered a bill. .-He also presented a petitian from the, Trns- tees of Davidson College for the estab- lishment of a Normal School at ‘that In- stitution. We suppose the claims of Davidson for State favors, lodge upon its meritorious character and public value and impor- tance as a literary institution, is second to none in the State, net eveu excepting the University. Her professorship and ability to give a thorough education is highest of all, and it may not surprise any that her friends should think of ler while kisses are in fashion. We believe however the Stute: should reserve appropriations of al kinds and from everything until she has done some- thing for the relief of her much abused, and negleeted creditors. Mr. perceive, has had his eye ou this measure also. Se a ee Northern Men’s Convention. -We pub- jlish in this paper the address issued by the Northern Men’s Convention, in ses- sion at Charlotte, on the 5th of this month. Their ‘‘findings” is the strong- est testimony yet offered the public of the falsity of many of the charges made by northern newspapers and orators against the South. All praise to the men who fearless of the strong prejudices of their native States thus step to the front in defence of the truth. May each and every oue of them prosper and be happy in the land of their adoption. +> aa Assessments.—It is weli kuown that. there is no regular system in this State for equalizing taxes. The Governor notes this in his message, aud lays to this cause, more than any other, the deficieney in the revenue for the last two years. As- sessments should be made on some gen- eral rule approximating equality. The present rtystem leaves it discretionary with the .ssessors in the several counties and townships which often vary widely witheut a reason for it. =e It is said that Gov. Vance will resign his present office next week, and Lt. Gov. JARVIS Will enter upon the duties of Gov- ernor. No one doubts Mr. JArvis’ abili- ties to administer the affairs of the State in a satifactory manner. He is deserved- ly popular with the people of the State, and will enter upon his new duties sus- tained and encouraged by unqualified publie confidence in his ability and in- tegrity. ne Gov. Vance.—The newspapers in all directions and from New York City to the far South, are rejoicing over the election of Gov, Vanee to the U. S. Senate. We haye never known, in a long experience, such general interest in the elegtion of a Senator. It seems likely te verify what} we have often said, that Gov, Vance would carry more influence into the U. S. Senate than any other man in the State. So Or Jadge Buxton will to-day receive the votes ef the Republ'can members of the Legislature for the Duited States Senate. The empty houor of a minority womina- tion is interpreted here to mean that Judge Buxton will be the candidate of the Republican party for Governor of 1830. Dockery is considered a stronger man, but the “Greensboro Ring” is hostile to him. Ex-Judge Read, it is understood, will not accept a vomination.—Ral. News. ——,_ EEE aS G. M.

The summary statements of the Educa- tiegal and Public Funds show a balance to the credit of each fund on the 80th of September last as follows: Educational fund, $18,600.253 Public fund, 100, 192.994 $113,793.26 Statements A and B contain the re- ceipts and disbursements of the Educa- tional Fund, which, for the two years, are as fellows: PERMANENT FUND.

Statements G and H contain the disburse- meuts of the Public Fund, for the same time, amounting to $1,147,451.66 1-6. The disbursements, in addition to the ordinary expenses of the State govern- ment, embrace the usual special appropri- ations to the several charitable aud penal institations, and extra appropriations and interest on bonds, as follows : Western N.C. R. R. $75,196.93 ae Insane Asylum, 50,500.06 Penitentiary, 100,000.00 Interest ou mortgage bonds issued on account of-Wes- tern N. C.K. R., 118,545.00 $344,241.93 It is proper to suggest that these large special expenditures are in excess of the usual appropriations provided tor by spe- clal taxation, and the fact that they have been net without an increase of the rev- enue levies, is evidence of the rigid economy in the administration of the gov- ernment in its several legislative, execu- tive and judicial departments, as the sav- ing by the large reduction of these ex- penses has admitted of more extensive aid from the Treasury to the several works how in progress under the authority of the General Assembly. I am compel.ed to state, however, that the Treasury bas suffered embarrassment in consequence of a deticieacy of funds to meet special appropriations for the Wes- tern North Carolina Railroad, aud public buildings, a large portion of which re- mains uvpaid. In this cernection I call the attention of the General Assembly to section 7, of article V, of the State Constitution, which } requires that “every act of the General Assembly levying a tax shall state the special object to which it is to be applied, and it shall be applied to no other pur- pose.” The Treasurer, as a ministerial officer, should obey a statute giving directions to his duty. , Sec. 3, page 1, of the act to raise reve- nue, provides that ‘the taxes hereinafter designated shall be applied to defray. tle expenses of the State Government, and to appropriations to charitable and penal institutions.” In making these special paynients frum the general fund, I did net conceive it my duty to eonsider te what extent the ac- tion of the General Assembly, in giving this direction to the funds, was consistent with the sections of the Constitution and the Statute above quoted. ; I obey the General Assembly as far as I was able with the means in my hands. The balance:to the credit of the Public Fund, on the 30th vf September last, was $100, 192.994 applicable as follows: General purposes, $55,069.62} Agricultural Department, 12,827.96 a EE ED Insane: syiam, 8,000 Inatitntion, Deaf and Dumb and Blind, *, 10,625 100,192.99} general purposes, tentiary, &e.

Of this amount $2,- 794,000 were issued for the construction of the North Carolina Railroad. Deduct- ing this amount there remains as princi- pal $5,577,400. The interest on thisclass, Which is reperted at $5,007,530.50, is sub- ject toa deduction of the amount paid by the Receiver of the dividends from the North Carolina Railroad Company, which amount I have not ascertained. The 2d, 3d, 4th and 5th classes are bonds issued during and since the war, amounting in the aggregate to $3,583,645, principal, and &5,152,602,35 interest. Total $13,741,247,35. The character of the issues embraced in these several classes is explained in the tabulated statement, as well asin. the foregoing classification. These figures commend themselves to the serious consideration of the General Assembly. I suggest that.some adjustment of the debt should be made with the creditors. It is true that the works of improve- ment, which have been constructed as an equivalent for the liberal aid extended by the State before the war, are now almost wholly unremunerative, and that there are but little, ifany visible fruits of the large appropriations, which make up the debt contracted since the war, on which the State can depend in an arrange- ment with the creditors. It is further true that the financial con- ditiou of onr people has been changed by the heavy losses which they have suffer- ed. Yet the debt bears upon us as an in- cumberance to our prosperity, which is of an adjustment. Terms of compromise ought to be offer- ed the creditors, embracing such an amount of principal, aud rate of interest, our people toassume. Ifsuch terms should be rejected by the creditors, the responsi- negotiations will have been reached.

The nature and results of the chem- joakdecom position are correctly stated by Professor Doremys, as well as by the patentees of these baking pow- ders, ‘There is no alum in the bread or other article prepared with these powders, byt only the products of its slecompositien, viz; Glauber’s salt, in too small qnantity to be active, and precipitated aluminym hydrate. But at this point a new question arises, and one of weighty import : Is jt not probable that the coutiuned in- gestion of aluminum hydrate with our daily food, may, in the long run, in- duce disease and shorten life ? It is trye that when alyming is in combination with silica, as if is in clays, it is not readily soluble or de- composalle iy week acids; but alum- ina combineg only witl water, or even when the water has been separated by ignition, is much more salyable. The heat whigl, suffices to bake bread will not separate the water from aluminum hydrate, and it hence exists in the bread in a condition readily to form salts with even weak acids. What, then, is the probable action of this aluminum hydrate in the processes of the digestion and assimilation of the food in which it exists as an ingredi- eut?): In the stomach, under the ac- tion‘ of the acid gastric juice, it is likely to be dissolved, and to form aluminum chloride; byt, because of the great affinity of alyminia for albuminous and other organic mat- ters as well as foy phosphoric acid, it probably enters into combjaation with these, to a certajn extent at least. If these compounds are insolyable in the stomach solution, no other harm will result but a waste of a certain quanti- ty of the essential phosphates and al- buminates of our fyod, which waste may be measurably supplemented by the introduction of some superphos- phate into the baking powders, But it is more probable that at Jeast a portion of the alumiyaus compound is retained in sylution in the acid chyme and is absorbed into the blood vessels in the coats of the stomach, to act locally iu thickening or otherwise al- tertng their delicate coats; of meeting with the slightly alkaline venous blood, rich ip alyyminous compounds, to induce g tendency to coagulation, which, however slight, may in the! course of time cayse obstructions in important glandular organs, especial- ly in the kidneys and liver, interfer- ing with their healthy functions, and in the end causing fgtal disorder.

It is true that Orfila contended for the harmless nature of alum in small doses, and Wibmer and others ex- perimented ‘on themselves by taking it in small doses four some weeks to- gether without any sensible results. Very probably the slight impairment of tissye. was not sufficient to produce manifest disease. But had they con- finued their experiments for years at all their daily meals, no doubt the functions of the stomach would have becomge. dm paired by the thickening of ifs’ eoats and the alteration of its glandular tissue under the action of the dissolved aluminum salts, and dyspepsia or chronic inflammation would be the result in time. That alumina is not friendly to or- ganic life is shown by its almost gen- eral absence from the composition of vegetables and animals. In. only a few plants of the lowest order is it found as a regular constituent. The propriety of introducing it into our daily. food is not properly to be as- certained by costly and broadly haz- ardous experiments upon the people at large, or with the object of cheap- ening the production and increasing the profit on baking powders. Nor is there any necessity for such heroic tampering with the public health. Why lay aside the time-honored yeast or ferment, which, when skillfully and citefully prepared and used, is we must have “quick-rising,” why not use the pure cream of tartar and good bicarbonate of soda until some- thing equally harmless is discovered ?

A “Rabbit Suppression Bill” has been passed by the Legislative As- sembly of Victoria. ‘Phe bill says a contemporary, which is intended to, deal with the evil caused in the colo- ny by a superfluity of rabbits, was in- troduced by the Minister of Lands, who in moying the second reading drew a vivid pictyre of the desolation caused in certain districts by these voracious creatures. The mischief they effected could not, he said, be exaggerated.

A prisoner set up in his defence an alibi, claiming that at the time of the rob- bery he was at home listening to the recital of a novel, “The Old Baron,” by a man named Lane, whe had com- mitted it with other works, to memo- ry. T,ane’s recitgtion, he said, took two hours and a half, The Attorney- General, holding this to be incredible, Jane began; “Jn the time of King Henry, when the good Duke Hum- phrey returned from the wars in. the Holy Taad, where he had been so-. Jeurning for a number of years, there: livei—” mankind.” After the witness had recis ted several pages the Attorney-Gen- eral told him to stop, as he was satis- fed. But the. defence insisted that as the veracity of the witness had been questioned he should be allowed to go on. Finally a compromise was eliected ; Lane gaye a chapter from the middle of the story aad its con- elysign, ang the accused was fgund not guilty. —_————ae-0-<- op During our very cold weather in the mountains the surface of our streams rarely freeze smoothly over owing to the rapidity of their current, exeept where there are long stretches of ‘comparatively sti}] water.

The earliest records of the art are to be found in the Old Featament. Pharaoh arrayed Joseph in ‘‘vestures of fine linen,” and Job lamented that his days were swifter than the weaver’s shuttle, the nse of the simile proving that the shuttle was acommon and well known object at the time. Portions of woven cloth and a weaver’s shuttle have been found among the remains of the Lake dwellings, and and as the latter are believed to belong to to the stone age, the origin of the art may possibly have been nearly coincident with the exjstenee of man. Few jfany savage races have been discovered altogether ig- norant of the art, and mauy of them have brought it to a considerable degree of per- fection; while the relics of the ancient Peruvians and Egyptians show that they were skilled weavers. Some fragments of Egy ptiar cloth were found on examination to be woven with threads of abeut 100 hanks to the pound, with 140 threads to the inch in the warp, and, 64 in the woof. Although the art was practiced extensive- ly, and with no mean skill, in very an- cient times, it progressed very slowly and gradually—by small steps at long inter- vals. The great advances in the art of weaving have been made during the past 300 years, mainly during the past cen- tury. <—- -— -— The Northern papers assigu Senator ance to position im the heavy ordinance train.

It prevailed in Egypt and-Asia Minor, to which jt extended during the first 500 years, and bence was early called Egyptian or Sy- riac disease. Having invaded Europe, the disease appeared in Rome, A. D. 880; and being akin to the plague, of which it may be aremote modification, have had, the same origin, with some. similar characteristics, and. being like it and malignant typus, high- ly contageous, the disease ip jts 1,500 years’ transit on the continent of Europe, affected mainly rural districts and garrisoned towns. It had extended to Holland, ia which it was epidemic, in 1337; to Paris in 1576, and ap- peared in 1771; having prevailed mere ex- tensively in France jn 4848 and 1835, and in England and the.

It is very like our own case with reference to the proposed Winston and Mooresville Railroad, which cuts off fhe ancient trade of this place from the counties above. ‘There has been no movement here to ar- rest the progress of this work, so fatal to the interest of Salisbury, We have thought it is a “free country,” and people have aright to make all the roads they please, notwithstanding we believe there is a provisién in the charter of the N.

The people of Wilmington, however, are endeavoring to suppresa the movement detrimental to their trade by sending delegates to Kal- eigh to prevent, if they can, any legisla- tive action in behalf of the proposed ex- tention. ‘Trade, as a general thing, is not governed by patriotic principles.

No one objects to the principle, but the appliea- tion of it is where the treuble comes in ; and on this point there is any amount of difference of opinion. Some say abolish the office of State geologist, but don’t re- duce the salaries of Jadges. leat you im- pair the dignity and honor of the Bench. Others insist that you should not abolish the State Geologist because you cannot see the great utility of that office ; for although the benefits of this branch of the State government are not obvious to the people at large, itis nevertheless true that the advantages of it to the State vastly outweigh the eost; for it is chiefly through ‘the information given by this office that northern capital has sought investment in the mineral properties ofthe State. Cut down salaries and retrench every where else, but leave the State Geologist to go on with his work. Others plead for Superintendents, teachers, &c:, of the Asylums; and thus no one of the many subjects of pablic expense is with- out some one to ery out in its behalf. It cannot be disputed that there is a practical difficulty in deciding where, and W here not, to ent down expenses; and if members of the Legislature wait until outside clamorers arrive at a solution of the difficulty and indicate to them what should be done, they will fail to do any- thing. But this, we apprehend, is not the temper of the present legislature; on the contrary, they will cut wherever they can putin the point ofa kuite, and for one we say, rely on your own judgment aud cut as evenly as you can. ieee THE TOBACCO TAX.

Two United States marshals have been arrested and lodged in jail in Alabama for interfering with the State elections, and Lt. Governor Hull, Demo- cratic Congressman elect from Florida, has been indicted by Judge Settle’s Fed- eral Court for conspiring with the com- missioners of Brevard county, to elect him. He expresses his willingness to stand his trial, and is confident of estab- lishing his innocence before an impartial tribunal.—Southern Home. A WILKES COUNTY TRAGEDY, One Man Killed and Two Wounded—A FightAmong Fugitives, © Charlotie Observer, =f . A gentleman from one of the: western counties brings the'partignlars of bloody tragedy whith was éfiacted in’ Wilkes county some days ago; which resulted in the death of ove man and the serious and perhaps fatal wounding of two others. Alf. Edmundson, Lige €hureb and Riley Tedder are three famous charadétérs in that'county, noted for their daring and reckless deeds, All of them have been accused of crimes of different kinds, two of them have been convicted in the courts and all are fugitives from justice. Vari- ous attempts have been made to capture them at different times, but the nature of the country has enabled ‘them to elude the vigilance of officers. Each, too, has his friends and cennections in the neigh- borhoud who, when the occasion required, were not unwilling to assist them in es- caping. They were frequently together, though there is no evidence of any orgar ization for theft, robbery or other crimes. They live about six or eight miles west of Wilkesboro and it wasin this neighbor- hood that the tragedy occurred. A day or two before its culmination, a man nam- ed Hayes informed Church and Tedder that Edwundson had stolen a pistol from aman who was working for him, and asked them to get the weapon from Ed- mundsen, They accordingly went to the house of a man named Foster, where it was reported that Edmundson was stop- ping, and asked if he was there. Foster replied in the affirmative, and immedi- ately the two men broke into the house by kicking dowa the door. When they entered Edmundson began to fire ou them. Tedder was killed almost instantly, and the next shot entered the breast of Church, passing out through his shoulder. As he was falling, he made a Junge at Edmund- son and stabbed him in the shoulder, the knife cutting down his arm almost to the elbow. ‘The fatal affray was all the work of an instant. When the Observer's informant left the neighborhood, Friday, the day after the oc- currence, the two wounded men had been removed from the scene of the tragedy by their friends who are trying to keep their whereabouts concealed to prevent their capture by the county officers, but it is believed that their hiding places ean not be kept secret. Previous to the occurrence, there seems to have been no ill feeling between the parties, and their violent procedure ‘can be accounted for by ne other supposition than that this is the way they are in the habit of doing things. e————-—-2-@- FORTY LASHES SAVE ONE. Henry Platt, a young uegro man who works in one of the mines near the city, came in town yesterday morning, and, while under the influence of liquor, it is claimed, attempted to rob the cash drawer of Messrs. Long Bros., on College street. the bell attached to the drawer gave the alarm, and he was caught in the very act. The mayor decided that he should be beund over to appear at the next term of the Inferior Court to answer to the charge of larceny. Platt said he didn’t care anything about bothering with the courts, and that if the mayor would al- low it, he would prefer to take a whip- ping at the hands of his brother Alfred. His honor consented to this arrangement, aud directed the marshal to see that the punishment was properly inufticted and the criminal subsequently discharged. Atdo’clock Alfred came down to the station house with three keen switches, removed the upper garment trom Henry’s back and laid on 39 lashes in «a manner which weuld have dove credit to an old- fashioned sheriff. Henry Platt is now a free man.—Charlotte Observer. ~>-____ The Louisiana Lottery. A renewed attompt is being made in the Legislature of Louisiana to repeal the charter of the Louisiana Lottery Compan- ies, and a Dill to that end has passed one branch of the General Assembly. It is said however, to be opposed by a power- ful lobby, which hasa great deal of money at command, and probably knows how to put it where it will de most good. This lottery was chartered by one of the disrep- atable Legislatures under the Warmoth regime, and, by extensive advertising and the use of names of persons who should be ashamed to see them in that connec- tion, has managed to attain very large proportions and to distribute its corrupt- ing influences most widely throughout the land. It is truly to be hoped that Louisiana may be able to shake off this incubus. Lottery gambling is one of the worst and most pernicious vices_of the needy and ignorant ; it becomes a sort of themselves in it; keeps them and their families always poor; tempts a great many persons to petty pilfering and till- tapping, and, next tu drink, is one of the most prolific sources of misery to the human race. It has been broken up and under the sternest reprobation of the law in nearly all civilized communities, and in no places essentially where good gov- ernment prevails is it looked upon as a legitimate source from which to derive public revenue. see It is becoming just as necessary that we should plant trees as that we should plant corn. The reckless destruetion of American forests is having a notieeable effeet on the climate aud on the health. We are rapidly approaching the limit be- yond which any further decrease of mois- ture will be followed by sterile soil, pesti- lenee and famine. Sea Afghanistan, Per- sia and Asia Minor.— Ral.

A notable incident secured during the session of the Northern Settlers’ Conven- tion, last week, at Charlotte,-North Caro- lina, Just befure the meeting of the Con- vention, the Hartford (Connecticut) Post published an editorial article making va- rious attacks on the Southern people, and asserting, among other slanders, that no Northern man, utless he was a dlough- face, was treated with consideration and hospitality iu the South. The Charlotte Observer says: “This article was read be- fore the body, and from all parts of the houso there went up expressions of indig- nation. “Lie!” “Falsehood!” “Not a word of it true!” and similar expressions found utteranee. The members expressed themselves freely, on the fioor aud pri- vately, concerning this infamous publica- tion, and among all of them it found not one defender.” — Wilmington Star. —__~-__ THE NEXT SENATE.- In the Forty-sixth Congress, the republican side of the: Sen- ate will be mentally andanorally, as well as numerically, weaker thau it has been for a score of years, while the democratic side will be stronger in the sane propor- tion than it has been since the day when the democracy fell into the arms of seces- sion.

A fiendish outrage was perpetrated on a German giyl pamed Etter, near Elgin, Fayette county, recently, by three young men, aged 18, 16and 12. They caught the girl as she was returning from school, outraged her, and teied her clothes over her head, in which condition they sent her home. Her father, indig- nant at the outrage, attempted to bring the young rascals to justice, when they attacked the honse at night and fired a gun or pistol, wounding Mrs. Etter in the leg. When the husband attempted to leave the house for the doctor the young Villians fired at him also and compelled him to return to the house and do the best he could for his wounded wife till daylight. It was found necessary to am- putate the woman’s leg. She is the moth- er of seven children, and is soon to give birth to another. The outlaws are under arrest.

Eprror :—This little village, situ- ated in the south-east end of the county, fourteen miles from Salisbury and politi- cally in the banner township of the coun- ty, is scarcely ever heard of through your paper; while other places in the county of smaller magnitude than ours receive an oceasional puff. Perhaps if we were as fortunate as in bygone days to find and have pleuty of gold, we would be better known, but that is the way of the world: when a man bas money then everybody is his friends—‘money gone he is not known.” But we are here and if no one else will blow our horn we will blow it ourselves. And the first thing that we shall blow is called the Stock Law, one generally known at this time. Our band is composed of all classes and conditions and each one sounds the note to suit. his own ear; but a majority of them accord, so that we make tolerable fair music—so inmuch that we will put an end to bellow- ing cows and squealing pigs around our gates. We believe Dr. Coleman who is our leader in this piece, has sent the names of two hundred petitioners on to Raleigh praying to have this bellowiug and squeal- ing prohibited, Our secend is U. S. Senator, this we cannot blow very well, it: not being our favorite picce; but like the school boy, we know that it is in the lesson and that we cannot get round it, so we sound a few notes aud pass on, hoping that we may get better acquainted with the more difficult parts as we farther ad-Vance. Our next is Prohibition; this is our fa- vorite; this we have been . practicing for nearly two years. If you were to come and compare the condition of the place now with that of a few years ago, when we had several grog-shops licensed to re- tail the poison, you would say, “you have a reason to call it your favorite.” At first the law had a great many bitter oppo- nents, complaining that it was taking away from a man his liberties; vat now after seeing the workings of the law for uearly two years, they have become sat- isfied and are constrained to say that it was 2 godsend to many, especially women and children, who to-day receive the hard earniags of their husbands and fathers in place of curses and- blows heaped upon them by men made furious by intuxica- ting liquors. This must end our frst communication, although we have many other things that might be of interest which-we promise to speak of at seme future time.

In the not very distant future Watang in the whole State. We would suggest to those of our young men who want te leave us that Watauga is equal to any western country, and good lands can be bought low. Stoek raising in this county will pay, as past experience has demon- strated. Crops of ail kinds can be made, and fruits grow in abundance. Prof. W. C. Kerr, in the Farmer and AMechanie, says of this ceunty: :No county in the State ia so little known. ‘And yet it isin Fonie respects one of our best counties, and one of the most unique as well. It is the highest eounty, its average altitude rising to near 3,500 feet, that of the court house being 3,250, just 1,000 feet above Asheville. It has the inost extensive aud unbroken and magnificent oak furest, to be found. Its soil is almost uniformly productive. And most singular of all, it has no old fields, a term which describes one half of all our open lands. And there is more evidence of improvement and thrift than in any other station, away from all the railways. It has the finest summer climate to be found this side of the Rocky Mountains, and the only con- dition wanting to make it the frequented is accessibility ; and this difficulty will be removed in great part within a year by the completion of the narrow guage railroad to Lenoir, from which point the plateau is reached by a turnpike of 20 niles over one of the easiest er sssin; 8. f the whole Blue Ridge. Watauga is a fine wheat ceunty. The best buckwheat in the United States is raised here, and two new and complete buckwheat mills have been erected with- ina few years. No such cabbages come to market as are raised on this plateau. I have seen a plot of cabbages, plauted one yard apart, cover the the entire surface completely, some heads weighing 15 and 20 pounds; and a weight of 24 pounds has been reached on Elk River. Fruit of course flourishes luxuriantly, and isof the finest quality. The county also coutains beds of excel- lent iron ore, and the copper veins about Elk Knob are well known. The eastern section of the county abounds in white pine, The county is drained mostly by the head streams of the Kanawha River; the Watauga and Elk of the west side going tothe Tennessee. This region needs to be annexed to North Carolina. A railroad would do it. The Chester and Lenoir narrow gage, nearly finished, will easily reach Patter- son on the Yadkin, 7 miles nearer the foot of the Blue Ridge. Twenty miles more of a very practicable grade will cross the mountains, and twenty-five more will connect with the iron road now building to Cranberry. This will give a long and urgeutly needed connection to the middle region of the State, and to the whole of it, with the salt and plaster mines and the limestone mountains of southwest Vir- ginia. And there doubt that a braneh road will be speedily carried by the great Ore Knob copper mines to the New River branch of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, soon to be built; and thus the great west will have an Open way through the State to our sea coast, both: by the existing lines, which are crossed by the narrow guage read, and by a branch which will build itself from Pat- terson down the fine valley of the Yadkin to Salem, and so connect by change of guage with Fayetteville and Wilmington. Such a road will be from the day of its comple- tion the best paying road in the State.— Lenoir Topie. , is no —__—_->>- COL. STEELE’S WEST POINT CADETSHIP. From the Charlotte Observer. The following letter, received yester- day by the editor of the Observer from our immediate representative in Congress, is self explanatory : DEAR Sir :—There is a vacancy in the military academy at West Point, from the sixth district of North Carolina, which. ] am entitled, as the representative, to fill. After full consideration, I have determin- ed to appoint the young man who shall be found, by committee of examination, to be most proficient in the requisite studies, who possesses, also, the essential physieal characteristics. However well versed a young man may be in the requir ed studies he cannot enter the acadeniy unless he is free from bodily deformity, und is of sound ecvnstitation. The com- inittee of examination will be announced by me hereafter. The cadet must be “between 17 and 22 years of age, at least.5 feet in height, and free from any infectious or. immoral disorders, and generally from any de- formity, disease or intrmity which may render them unfit for military service.” They must be well versed in reading, Writing, including orthography, and in arithmetic, and have a knowledge of the elements of Euglish graminar, of de- scriptive geography, particularly of our own country, and of the history of the United States. Any young man desirin plication for the place, can write to me, directed to Washington until the Ist of March, and after that time to Rocking- ham, and I willendeavor to send him a copy of the circular of the War Depart- ment, which will fully explain the ordeal to which he will be subjected.

From the number of letters which have been received by Mr. Dumont, and from the general tenor.of the newspaper re- ports on the subject, it is believed that the conventions of Northern settlers in the several counties of the States of the South, to be held on the 15th of February, will generally be well attended. ‘These are for the purpose of appointing delegates to State conventions, these in turn to ap- point State delegates to attend a general convention to be held in Charlotte on the 4th of July, next, for purposes similar to those which brought aboat the recent con- vention in this city. Mr. Daniont has al- ready distributed throughout the South five hundred copies of the call for these conventions, and expects to issue more.

( °" We are souatasily in receipt of in- quiries from all parts of the West’ as{ ‘to the proper mode of preparing the soil for treceiving grass seed. The best tools we have found for prepar- ing land for grass seed are, first, a cutting harrow; the Frame iv V aaa ed, he arms bene 3x3 inches and 7} feet long, and 4 feet apart at the back end; 30 knives, made $x1} spring steel, made 8 inches long, formed sim- ilar toa knife coulter, each fastened with two bolts upon the outside of the arins; the knives pitched back at an angle of 45, resting in a notch at the back side, so that they all cut straight. forward with lines parallel with ane line of draught. After entting the surface sufficiently each way with this machine, we use a revolving harrow, preferring this kind as it clears better than anyother. The seed is then sown with any good force feed seeder, or by hand; if sow by hand, care should be taken not fo sow more than 4 feet wide, and sow to and from the wind, not ¢ross-wise. After the’ seed 18 sown, use a smoothing harrow once ina place each way; then roll thor- oughly, to make the surface com pact. — - Live Stuck Journal. ee A farmer of experience says that the feet of a horse require more care than the-body. “They need ten times as much, for in one respect they are al most ihe entire horse.

Swill For Pigs, —TVhe best swill wei have ever tried for pigs made with wheat bran and © “middlings, to which we added ‘salt and soft suap. We were led to ‘making ‘the mixture: by noticing that! the pigs fed from the ‘Louse-slops were growing faster and doing better than those fed at 4 the barn. One little ‘rat of a fellow that was draw nin the shape ¢ ofa half moon, was tur bed out “of the” pen to die, when he was take in and fed on house-slops ; ina week his back was straight ; in two weeks he began to look like a pig, and from that time on he grew rapidly, and when killed he dresed over three hundred pounds, That season we were feeding two hun- dred pigs, and they were not doing Our feed was jait swill snd and was to strong for young stock, We altered it to swill made as above, and the change was , ‘was, well. corn meal, seen in a week in the entire lot, and we had no further trouble with our pigs. ee Corn-fed hens do not lay in win- ter, and especially when snow covers jthe ground, ‘heoatise there is nothing in corn which furnishes material for the white ‘and ‘shell of the egg, but abundant material for fat and radi- mentary yolks, As soon a3 spring comes, corn- -fed hens commence lay- jng ahd ‘continue to do so, simply because they are able to supplement: this fuod by grass, worns, and other albuminous substances, and also find material for egg shells in bits of lime stone and the shells and debris of a variety of decaying mat- ter that we have no conception of., On the other hand, when wheat is} fed to hens, there is fat enough in it to supply all that is needed for. the yolk, and gluten enough to make: the white, and lime enough to furnish the shell; and it does not seem difficult now to ynderstan why corn-fed heus. should not lay, as they do not, and why wheat fed hens should iy as they do.—B. F.

An intelli- gent farmer says that he and his neigh- bors have made a practice of feeding bone meal in such cases, and find that a small quantity mixed with the daily feed will prevent any weakness, and strengthen the animals so as to ad- mit of the most rapid forcing. As bone meal is known to be a prevent- ive of cripple aii, and wegknesa in cows, it looks reasonable that it should also be a benefit to hogs which are often confined to a ‘diet containing but little or no bone- making material. ” Cabbage Worm Remedy. —I will ive you a sure remedy for the cab- ee worm: Make a strong solution of lime-water, pour it over ‘the cab- bage i in the evening ; ; if the lime-wa- ter is made atrong there will be no liye worms left that the water touch- es. cabbage infested with’ the « worms.

Arehtbaid Cary wasa magistrate, living at Williams- barg, a man who was much disliked by his neighbors, on account of his vindict- iveness and general meaness, came the old Colonel, and iuformed hin that’ his neighbor, John -Browp, had violated the Game law by killing a deer before the Ist of September. Now, although Brown was a good, honest, poor man, puch ea- teemed by his acquaintances, Esquire @a- ry was bougd tp issue a warrant for his arrest, and when Brown appeared before him he confessed that he had killed’the deer, knowing at the time that he was vi- olating the law; but that his wife had a ‘great longing for venison, and knowing that deer daily frequented his corn-field, she gave him no peace. He had begged her to wait a little while, till the Ist of September, but she vowed she could not wait. So he killed the deer. The old Magistrate, seeming fall of compassion, said: ‘Brown, the law is explicit; you will have to pay the fine, which is £5.’ ‘Lord bless your heart, Col. Cary,’ said Brown, ‘all | have on earth woyld not =) for £5,’ | (Well, then,’ said the Justice, turning to he law and reading, without paying strict attention to punctnation or the ex- act pesition of the words, ‘Whoever shall be guilty of shooting, snaring, trapping, or in any way killing a deer within this, his Majesty’s Colony of Virginia, at any time between the Ist of May and the Ist of September, shall pay a fine of £5, and if he is unable to do this, the punishment shall be awarded of 39 lashes on the bare back, well jaid on, one-half to be given to the informant, and the other half to the King.’ ‘Mr. Constable,’ said his Honor, ‘as we are enjoined to do justice aud love mercy, aud where an odd amount, which is not capable of an equal division is to be divided between a rich aud a poor man I always give the poor man the larger shave; you will, therefore, give the infor- mant in this case the 20 lashes, and when- ever you catch his Majesty, the King, in this colony, yeu wiil they give him the 19.’ So the majesty of the law was main- tained, much to the satisfaction of al] who knew the odioug informant.” ——_ —~<ibe — -— ANOTHER DEADLY HARIT, {From tne N. Y. Tribune.) A dangerous method of asing morphine to produce pleagyrable sensations is be- lieved by physicians in this city to bea growing vice. Morphiue js one of the principle cqnstityents of opium, and has the effect of relieving pain and preventing sleeplessness. It has been found, how- ever, that frequent internal doses, of the drug bad an injurious effect on the intes- tinal canal and gradually undermined the system. Of late years physicians have nearly ghandoned the practice of adimin- istering morphine by internal doses, and have adopted, instead, the use of a needle- pointed syringe, by which small doses of the drugg are jnjected under the skin. The effect of the drug administered in this way is much quicker, and smaller doses are required. The use of the morphia syir inge was confined fo medical experts for a time, as it was believed to be attended with unusual dangers in unskillfal hands. Jt has become a prytice with some phy- sicians, however, {o teach their patients bow to administer merphia injections, aud jt is not surprising that many pgrsong who have experienced the delightful ef- feets of the drng in time ef sickness, should use the instrument to banish im- aginary suffering, Seyeral prominent physicians of this cjty were visited by a Tribune reporter recently, and their state: nents showed that the vicious habit is spreading to an glarming extent. A strong opposition to the frequent use of the morphia syringe was expressed by Dr. Jared Linsly. ‘It is an lustrument of death,” he said, ‘fin the hands of any person except a skillful awd cautious phy- sician. If the use of the instrament is ever justified, it js in cases where imni -* diate relief must be given to excruciating pain. Whenever morphine can be given in internal doses, I believe it should be administered in that way. A dose of the ding injected under the skin is taken up by the blood, carried to the heart and dis- rapidity. The effect on the vital organg is all the more hurtful because of its sud- denness, aud because the impurities of the drug are conveyed directly inte the blood. It is not surprisiug that many deaths have resulted directly from the mode of adninistering anethetics, It iga crime for a physician to teach the use of such an instrament to his patients, The practice is sending hundreds af persons to the inebriate asylums agl filling thou- Sands of homes with misery.” —_-__ +a A smile costs the giver nething, yet it is beyond price to the erriag and repent- ant, the sad and cheerless, the lost and forsaken.

A Fast Young Man. The earcer of a yeung man who has just couie to gricf in St. Louis affords a pretty fait illustration ef the shame to which ri- otous living and profligate agsociations will bring alad. The youth in question was the son of a well-to-do merchant, and some time ago, having manifested a de- sire to reform, was made hig father’s con- fidential clerk. The moment, however, he received this mark of confidence, he deliberately instituted a system of false entries in the books, and in the course of afew months embezzled nearly $10,000, which he spent in gambling, wine and dissolute company. When the day of reckoning came so much incensed was his father that he disowned the boy and threw his trunk out after him into the street, A few days later the son returned home surreptitiously to get some money from his mother, and while therg hig father, as he was entering tlhe house fell and broke a limb, which necessitated his retiring to bed and sending fora pbysician. Jy the confusion he left his coat, in a pocket of which was $2,000 in cash, in an adjoin- ing room, and his ungrateful son toek the opportunity to steal it, That same night he was robbed of every cent in a lew re- sort, during a drunken spree. He is now in charge of the police authorjties, with plenty of Igisure for repentance.

From all we can learn from the news- papers, private letters and from persons passing from Raleigh, the friends of re- trenehment are determined not to be frighteuved or diverted from their purpose to reduce public expenses. It is believed that a reduction of at least one hundred thonsand dollars can made without impairing the effectual working of the State system. It is said by persons com- petent to judge from accurate knowledge of facts that the reduction m: ly even ex- ceed this sum. The friends of this measure are covert- Jy subjected to sneers and jeers by those who desire to keep up a splendid estab- jishment, but they have the consolation of knowing that the people will openly ‘and persistently applaud tiem. But independent of reductions, Mr. Henderson’s bill for evlarging the juris- diction of Magistrates will save to the people tens of thonsands of dollars; and his other bill to prevent the removal of causes will also save thousands. On the ‘whole, the people are cheered with the delief that they have at last elected Legislature possessing the ability aud the will to serve the State faithfully and fear- Jessly. May the sequel verify their best hopes. ' It ig feared shyt nothing can be accom- plished at this seysion towards compro- mnising the State debt. We think this is much to be regretted. The patient cred- jtors of the State have a right to dem: and | relief, and we canmot understand how it can be honestly refused them. A vote oa the subject a few days ago, indicated a tailure, at this time, of the constitution. iLamendment with reference to the re-esiablishment of the whipping post. The republicans vote solid against it. | Lhe same fate befell the amendment yequiring the payment of the poll tax as Q pre-requisite to voting. We believe three-fourths of the people of the State are in fiivot of these amend- ments and wil eontmue to demand them, a From Lincolnton to Hickory.—Yhe ap- plication now before the Legislature for a charter for a railroad fron} Lincg}nfoy to Hickory can hardly be gr anted by the guardians ef the State’s interest. They have already permitted two enterprises po jeopardise the stupendous investment in the Western North Carolina R oad—the Charlotte and Statesville, and the New- ton and Chester end of the Narrow Guage. Cc san it be possibls that they will now per- mit the Carolina Central to swallow the whole conceru from Hicker y up! Can the State afford to build’ roads at the ex- pense of the people and then sacrifice all xy permitting non-residents to deprive her of the benefits! "Fhe Ghgrter of the Carolina Central desig giittes Ratherfordton as an objective point; but the work ‘has stopped at Shelby, and if the Company can now Le allowed to’ connect with the Western Carolina at Hickory, We con- jectare it will there terminate, and we ‘shall hear no more of extending the Road to Rutherfordton. In that éase Ruther- ford county has taxed herself in vain, but eS Company owning the Central‘ will lave done the best day’s work for their own interest since they became proprie- tors.

TuE editor of the Lincoln “Progreedint:l ter trying to pobligh his” paper at yeary has_ returhied ti the! pla ging ‘of two dollars the countr y, to publish a newspaper of.re- spectable size for one dollar a year, except im connection with a paying daily, and even then the profits are very small. -Few country newspapers have a paying list ex- Pceeding 500, worth one thousand lyilors. Printers’ wages, house rent,paper; ‘ink and other incidental expenses consume afl this, and some times more, jeaving*the editor Henendent for a scant livjyg on the ‘advertising ‘trates, which takes place on the 18th. This parce the Watehinan, was started by the late Hamilton C, Jones, in Jaly, 1832. ‘There were then two other papers pablished in this place, to wit: The est- | ¢ ern Carolinian, by the late Hon. Burton Craige; Journal, by Lemuel Bingham, Esq. At that time there was no paper published west of Salisbury. There was, perhaps, one at Churlotte ; bat there was none at Concord, or anywhere else south, nearer There than Cheraw and Fayetteville. wus none east nearer than “Greensboro, and none in any of the counties north of this place. And yet with the wide scope for patronage enjoy ed at that time, the Western ‘Corgliniay gad Journal, passing through’ sey a changes of pro- prictorship, £; cyived : the latter about the year 1236, and the former in 1842 or 43. Since that time humerous newspaper en- terpri ises have sprung up here, and have had oo of from three months to six years. Few have goue over thece years, and nearly all changed hands a time or, before final extinetion. Counting, election, | two from 1832 we are able to enumerate about fifty newspaper adventures made here up to this time, and they away not enly v3 ithout enriching a single individual concerned in thein, but in most case damaging the proprietors. We advert to this sabject at present for the purpose of saying to some of our friends who think &2 is too large a price for the Watchnein, that we can better at- ford to discontinue its publication than to pablish it for less. ‘Afere was a time when it paid very w ell,’ and a better time than the present may come again, but we assure our friends that for asum less than two dollars there is noe none fer its con- tinuance, The number who complain qi Lhe price is comparatively syjall. Most intelligent people know that the patronage of a eoun- try newspaper is ordinarily limited to the demand of the locality. If the demand is smaller than will justify the expense of publication at a low rate, the piyce Inust goupor the paper go down. When it happens tliat a country paper transcends the liwit of local patronage it will be found due cither to extraordinary editorial abil- ity, or toa strong money support inde- pendent of its regular income, and the aids which such backing is able to pur- chase. But these are exceptional cases— few and far between—and cannot be con- sidered within the rule. It is simply im- possible to print a weekly paper in the country of respectable size and make up, for less than two dollars a year wjthout starving the editor, or Wronging its pat rons. ‘The history of the business here and elsewhere sufliciently prove this. ree eme The hasan Plague.-—A most fatal plague broke out in Russia in Octaber last, and by thie 5 2oth of November had become ¢ alarming. The pablic authorities in the afflicted districts about that time took steps to arrest it. But it spread rapidly, and now the Russian government have found it necessary to inaugurate measures of great magnitude aud of the most positive kind to stop the work of death. No remedy has been found for the tisease. All, or nearly all, who are struck by it die; aud deaths are so rapid in some places that the living cannot bury It seems to he highly con- tagious, and the ouly safety to the coun- try is to confine it within its opresent limits, and this the government is trying to do. Neighboring countries are also alarmed aud are trying to cut off all con- nection with ihe afflicted districts. na The Legislature of Tennessee, at the re- quest of the city authorities, have repeal- ed the charter of Memphis, so that the city is now decorporated and without ti- tle even to its pame. It is understeud that this proceeding was done to rgjieve the city of its debt, which owi ing to the receny yellow fever scourge, she is unable to pay. It is also reported that Mobile is talking of reljef ina similar way. Aud in view of the heavy annual ggpt of the town government there are citizen us in SALISBURY who haye talked of the same method of relief. Thousand. of dollars are annually spent here withous an) ‘thing to show for it.

DAVIDSON COLLEGE, oom to be well known in allthis region of country. Under the auspiees apd pat- ronage of Coueoril, Fayetteville and Bethel Presbyteries it wasi rated in 1837, and named in honor ef Gex. David- son, the patriot, who fell in the Revolu- tion net many miles from the spot where the College is located, novly battling for the nights aud liberties of bis eonutry. It was commenced as a “Manual Labor School,” bat the effort proving abortive | Was soon abandoned. Then it began to address itself to the work of a_Callege proper. And although for years it had to labor onder pecuniary ebarrassments and struggle with opposing difficulties, it still coosinued to grew in popular favor and “steadily gaised its stamdurd of schol- arship and increased its facilities for in- struction.” Its endowment was conipleted before the war by. the myniticent bequest of Mr. Chambers, of Salisbury. Oat of the fund left by him to the College, a large and cammodious Chapel was crected at a cost of 890,009. scholarships was effected, which placed the College on a firmer and better bysis, not only with regard to endowment but as to the number of students. But as’ a natural result of the war a large part of the endowment of the Institgtiou was lost, and whilst no effort bas been spared to make the College everything its friends could desire, its nieans have been limited. Owing to this, the Trastees were driven to the nécessity of asking the bolders of scholarships to sarrender then, or at least to make a compromise, that they might be enabled to carry on the College as they desired. The simple question presented to the Board was College er no College. The alternative was forced upon them of either getting rid of the scholar- ships, or at best of running the College asa oue-horse concern. The latter they did wet choose todo, avd i commend them for if. faith if not with downright dishonesty. Agd because of this, many, Presbyterian fathers and quondam fricuds of the insti- sous elsewhere. tees were doing what they thought for the best, and were aiming to make the College deserving of patronage, those who ought to rejoice in the facet and avail themselves ef the benefits to be realized itherefrom, have turned” away from it.

PL Waugh. Mr. Harper continued in business as a merchant at Fairfield and in Lenoir for nearly forty years. Soon after the late war he withdrew from active mercantile life, and, shifting the cares of business upon the younger shotlders of bis sens, retired to his plantation, aud there, in sight of the sehools, the college, and the charch- es he had %elped to build, he detaek him- self to the care of his farm and the en- joyment of a kindly aud honored old age, which grew swecter and more mellow, ag it ripened, to the end.

VIRGINTA’S PUBLIC DEBT—-PROPO- SLPION FROM THE BONDITOLDERS. « At the conference in Richmond, Va., on Saturday last, between a sub-committee of the joint comuiitttee of finance of. the Legislature, and the representative of the bondholders, Messts. Hugh MeCulloch, representing the association of the Uni- ited scites of America, and Isaac H, Car- veto, representing the coaneii af Lore ot London, submitted abillanthovising the creation of registers cigh bondholders, ed and coupon boards, dated January 1, 1879, payable in forty years aud bearing interest at 3 per cent. tur five years, 4 per cent, for tweuty-five years, and five percent. for ten years; coupons on said bonds and eertilicates ef iutcrest to be re- ceivatie for taxesand other @ebts due the State; all due and unpaid interest to be funded at the pate of 59 cents on the dol- lar; indebtedyess to be funded at the rate of two ceupons to ones peclei’?

Anderson and others, The bill isnow before the joint committee, and the result of their deliberations will be in both houses to-day or iearly this weck. Mr. McCulloch, in the! course of his remarks, gave twe pieces of advise, as follows : “If the debt question be now settled, do not keep it before the public; let it rest; and second, do not. speak of the poverty of your State; but be hopefal and cheerful, and the future made known i Will be right.” The Richmond Dispatch considers the 'prosition of the bondholders a liueral one, allowing the State to pay the smallest lar- ger rates when the people are njore able a tuxation—the effect. rates until times are better and the ‘to bear heavier and of &300,000 per annum for the last She will have the right to res deem any of her bonds at the end of ten years, The Richmond Whig, on the other hand after analizing the bill, sayse “We will not do it! The peeple of Vir- ginia demand relief—and this—this is offered them! They ask for bread anda stone is proposed. The legistator who votes for it—nay, he who favors it, or even remotely assents to it—is dammed pol#ically in Virginia forever.” eo The high-salaried officers have one; friend—the Weldon News. That paper says: “Wethink our State officers are paid too little new without cutting dowu their pay.” Yes, poor fellows, it is hard to get along without starving. Many of the best men in the State and really of the highest:learning, manage to live on from $1.000 to $1,500. But Raleigh isa his salary. This is all very nice for Mr. Christiancy, but if does not seem exactly ike the right thing for important ap- | pointments under the government to be disposed of to suit the perssnal conven- ience of individuals. Tt is not very long since Mr, Comly, of Ohio, another per- sonal friend of the President, was given the comfortable appointmeut of mivister to the Sgndwich Islands, for the avowed purpose of improving his health.

Instead of dread- ing ‘the task of punishing scholars, and shivering at the prospect of blis* tered hands, the teacher can enjoy the performance, and look forward to the hour for doing up the day’s spanking with a feeling of “pleasure and glad- ness, and the frown for merly stereo- pies on the face of the average school- ma’am gives place to an angelic smile, She seats herself at the instrument, with a dime novel in her hand, after placing ‘the condemed urchins in a row within reach of the hoisting ap- paratus, ‘or ton: gS, she smiles, touches the-snatch-brake with her foot, and the doomed urchin is launched into —if not eternity, he will think so be- fore that hand lets up onhim, With a smile playing over her features she works her tiny hoof and the avenging hand-descends, and the hoy says his “now I lay me, ” and the old machine works as though endowed with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, (Care shonld be ‘taken not to work the machine too rapidly at first, as it may make it hot—for the boy.

Mr. Walker, of the Or- throdox Chureh in Belton, had pre- pared a discourse for his sinful con- gregation, upon the subject of enJtess |. punishment, The parable of the rich man and Tagarus was his basis, and he hurled the anathemas of wrath at the Llack sheep of his flock as though he were an avenging angel, and many members of his congregation felt guil- ty terrors. Tim Bates shivered in his shoes, and thought of the pile he had taken the night before and told his mother a lie, and debated whether he should confess, or run the risk of the punishment fulminated by the parson. But he did not settle the matter that time, for the minister was suddenly brought to a full stop in the midst of his one and the congre- ae electraf ed, a tremendous rasu and report in tes midst, gs if heaven and earth had come te ether. Farmer Evans rose to his feet sim- ultaneously with his frightened daugh- ter and the rest of the congregation, and poor little Tim was not sure for the moment that’ his future had not begun. The cause of the noise was Found to be an explosion of the stove, through the infernal agency known as gunpowder. How it came there Was a mystery ta all except Farmer Evans.

Robert Hope and Samuel Hullins had lived neighbors for more than twelve years; and it is probable they would always have been on good terms, had not Samuel, who had sery- ed under Admiral Nelson, gained at Trafalgar a small- pension, which he had paid for by the loss of one of his, legs. ‘This leg less, and this pension nore, were tor Robert a continual source of jealousy; he accused fate for having lett him his two feet, and com- plained bitterly that he had been able | as he said, to sell his legs at the same | price with Hullins, Every time he! went to pay his rent, he repeated grumbingly that his neighbor was very fortunate; that he was in- a con- dition to meet his bills, since the king } lhe inake gave him a good pensiov, while ; poor fellow, had hard work to both ends of the year meet, without taking into account bits creditors. Robert at with making these reflections inward - first contented liimself| ly, but by degrees his dissatisfaction was expressed aloud, aud became hie habitual and favorite theme 6f con- Versation, Oné week that his behind-hand, le vancing toward the house of Mr, ae rent had fallen and was sadly ad- Jor, in order to make his exeuses for the delay, Hullins, who was as regular asa Glock in pay- hg met neighbor ing his rent, and had just been for that purpose. The very sight of Samuel produced on Robert the effect of a fit of sicke tess; 30, when he bowed in reply to the salute of Hfullins, his glance sin- gularly resembled that of a bull bhak- ing his horns at a dog. * Arrived at the house of the propri- etor, Hope did not fail ta be repri- manded. ber was cited, who always paid punct- The example of his neigh- ually and to the last penny. ‘Yes, yes,” ufurmured Robert; ‘some people are born with silver spoons in their mouths. Hullins is very for- tunate, and J am not surprised that he pays punetually with such a pen- sion.’ ‘Hullins has a pension, it is true,’ replied Mr. Taylor; ‘but his infirmity 8g heavy cross, and if you were afflicted with it, I should pity you much more.’ ‘If I had been 80 fortunate as tg losea leg like him, ‘Not so,’ said Hope. twenty years ago, it would have been a prodactive day fur me. I would ‘sell all my limbs at the same price. Do you call his oak leg a heavy cross ? I think his pension should render it light. The heaviest cross that 1 know ‘of is to be obliged to labor inces- santly. Mr. Taylor was a man of joyous humor, but a close observer. He had fora Jang time noticed the envious disposition cf Robert, and resolved teconyince him that the lightest cross might become heavy toa discontented mind, “T see,’ said he to Hope, ‘that you are disposed to do nothing. Well! I will exempt you from this obligation to labor of which you complain so hitterly. If you think the gross of your neighbor, Sanuel, so easy to bear, will you accept a lighter one, if I Will eugage to give you youp rent?’ ‘That depends upon what kind of a eross jt is,’ said Robert, anxjously, for he feared that the proposition would Rat be acceptable. i door | wont away. ¢ od t | time that you wear | this, I shall not : ‘scholars at ll begas to pursue him: demand a-penny of your rent.’ Hope thought, at first, that his land- ‘lord was jesting; but being assured ‘that he spoke seriously, he exclaimed : ‘By St. George! you may say that you have seen my last money, for I} am willing to wear this cross al my lifetime.’ ! Robert immediately went out, con- gratulating himself on his fortune, and lauzheng all along the road at the folly of Mr. Taylor, who had let him off so cheaply from paying bis rent, He had never been so joyous a6 at the moment of returning home; as he found nothing to complain of, and his dog cane to sit down at his feet with- out his punishing him ‘for his famil- larity. As he seated himself on his arrival, his wife did not, at first, notice the white cross which he had on his shoul- der; but having passed behind her husband to wind up the clock, she suddenly exclaimed, in a shrill voice : ‘Why, Robert, where have you been? You have on your back a cross a foot long. You have been to the tavern and some drunkard among your friends has played you a trick to make you Get up and let me brush of this cross.’ ‘Away!’ exclaimed Hope, hastily; ‘my clothes do not need your brusli- Go knit your steckings, and let ridiculous. lng. me alone.’ ‘That shall not be! exclaimed Mrs. Hope, in a voice more shrill, ‘I will my husband become the laughing stock of the whole village oS: oD D-? not have and if L tear your jacket to pieces, you shall not wear that ridiculous cross.’ As she spoke thus, the wife attem pt- ed to brash Robert’s shoulder; and the latter who kuew that resistance would be useless, walked off, shutting the after him violently. «What aefury ! muttered he, as he ‘{f she had been more geatie, LT wonld have told her ef my good fortune; but she does not deserve to know it!’ ‘Oh! Ob! Robert,’ Fox, at the moment when Hope tura- exclaimed old ed the corner of the house, ‘what is that white cross ou your back ? own clothes,’ ‘Take cure of your insolently replied Hope, going his awn way. ‘Mr. Hope,’ said little Patty Ste- vens, the grocer’s daughter, ‘step one moment, if you please, that I may rub out that great white cross you have on your shoulder.’ ‘Go and sell your herrings, lazy girl,’ replied Robert, ‘aud do not con- cern yourself about the passers-by,’ Lhe little girl, silenced, hastened to re-enter her mother’s shop. At this moment Hope arrived at the house of the butcher, who was conversing on the threshold with his neighbor, the blacksmith, ‘You are just the man I wanted,’ said the latter, stapping Robert; and he began to speak to him on busi- ness; but hardly had he commenced, when ald Peggy Turton arrived, in her plaid gown and blue apron. ‘Merey ! Mr. Hope,’ exclaimed she, taking up her apron, ‘what is that on your baek ? Robert turned to tell her to let him alone, but the blacksmith then per- ceived the mark made by Mr. Taylor. ‘Heavens!’ says he, laughing, ‘he might serve for a sign to the White Cross,’ ‘I suppose,’ said the butcher, that his wife has marked him thus for fear of losing him.’ Hope felt that there was for him but one method of escaping at the same time from the apron of Peggy, and from the jokes of the butcher and blacksmith, so he hastened to leave the spot, not without some abusive language to his neighbors; but the crass had beguu to weigh more heay- ily upon his shoulders than he had’at first supposed. This unfortunate Robert seemed destined this day to provaking en- counters, fur he had gono but a fow steps when he found himself opposite the schoal house. Schoal was jyst aut, and | the scholars were at this mament issuing from the door, ready for any fun that might present itself, Hope was terribly uneasy, and imagined he already heard cries behind him.

Mr. John- -eon, the sclroolmaster, suddenly ap- peared at the duor of bis hause. Robert advanced toward him, com- plaining of his pupils being insolent. Mr. Johnson replied that he would not for the world encourage imperti- nence but that the white cross which he had on his back might make wiser people than boys laugh, “What is this cross to you?” re- plied Robert crossly.. ‘Is not my back my own property ?’ The schoolmaster smilingly as sented, and Hope went on his way. But the cross was growing heavier aad heavier. He began to think in them, that it would Pnot be so easy to pay his rent in this manner. So much raillery had al- ready been heaped upon him, what would it be if the cause were known ? His landlord might as well have written on his back a receipt in full, As he reflected thus, Robert arrived at the tavern. He was_ passing by when he perceived Mr. “frylor him- self at a few paces distance, and on the other side his neighbor Hullins, drag- ging his wooden leg, and conversing with Harry Stokes, the carpenter. Harry Stokes was the wit of the vil- dage, and Hope would not have en- countered him before Hyllins for the world. Ile therefore took refuge in the tavern. But the place was not long tenable. The drinkers did not fail to perceive the cross, and to rally Hope who grew angry; the quarrel become violent, and the innkeeper, fearing some serious result, turned Robert out of doors, The latter had left home with the intention of examiuing some work which had been offered to him in a neighboring village, but his mind had been so disturbed by old Fox, Patty Stevens, the blacksmith, the butcher, Peggy Torton, and the school boys, that he resolved to return home, think- ing that would be, after all, the most peacable place. Have you ever seen, of September, a young partridge, the last of the brood, fluttering along through the fields with a wounded wing? Such was Robert on his way home at the other end of the village. Now he walked rapidly lest he should be overtaken, now slowly lest he should now in the month meet some one; now in the road, in the fields, gliding behind the bushes, climbing the walls, and shunning glances Jike a gipsy who has stolen a chicken froma farmer’s poultry yard. At this moment the white cross was an unsupportable weight. At last he reached his dwelling, and this time hoped to find a little rest. But as soon as his wife perceived him she began to cry out: ‘Are you not ashamed to come back as you went? Five or six neighbors have asked me if you had lost your senses! Quick! Let me rub out that cross !’ ‘Away, woman!’ exclaimed Robert, exasperated. . ‘You shall not remain so, Hape; I will not have any one belonging ta me so ridiculous. .Take of that jacket) take it off this minute, I tell you?’ As she thus spoke, Mrs. Hope at- attempted to seize her husband’s arm; but the latter rudely repulsed her. Mrs. Hope, who was not remarkable foy patience, replied by a blow, and the result was a scuffle between the two to the great scandal of the neigh- bors, who ran to separate them. Everybody blamed . Robert, -who, when he became calm, understanding that there was na hope of rest or peace for him otherwise, effaced the cross of his own accord.

This is a good lesson for envious and , impatient dispositions, ‘who'are inces- | santly complaining of God and of life. Remember this, Hope; He, who has | created us has proportioned our. bar- dens to our strength. Do not com- ers, for you know not the sufferings of your neighbor.’ All crosses are heavy; the way to render them light is to nae them with patience, courage and good will, ——————.\3\Y-——_—_— THE LAW AND THE GOSPEL. pint % [EXTRACTS FROM A "SERMON BY REY.

The elder lived near Crewe, the youn- ger,en route for Ireland, intended to to sleep at. Chester. The conversa- tion between them grew animated. Saith the elder presently, “Give up your idea of sleeping at Chester, and do the me honor of passing the night at my house.” The offer was accepted with grateful effusion.

INTOLERANCE, An English Magazine, in speakifig of the intimate relation between religious’ and ci- vil liberty, makes the following statements in regard to the intolerance that prevailed in England, even so late as duriug the last century: ‘ “The honor of the repeal of the Test and Corporation Act is due to the Great Revival 4 of the eighteenth century. The Toleration Act of those days was really more oppress- ive on pious members of the Chureh of Eng- land than on Dissenters; they could nét ob- tain, as Dissenters could, w license for‘ hold- ing religious services in their houses, be- cause they were members of the Cliurch of Engiand. William Wilberforce owed his first religious impressions to the preaching of Whitefield; with all his fine liberality of heart he became an ardent member ofthe com- munion of the Church of England. ‘Itseems incredible to us now that he lived eunstant- ly in the expectation—we will not say fear —of indictments against him for ‘holding prayer meeting and religious services at hi house in Kensington-gore. Lord@: Barham, the father of the amiable and excellent Bap- tist Noel, was fined forty pounds, en:two in- formations of his neighbor, the Earl of Rom- ney, for a breach of the statute in like servi- ces. That such a state of things as this was changed to the free and happy ordimances we behold around us in our day was owing to the spirit which was abroad. giving not only freedom to the soul of the man, but dig. nity and independence to the social life of the citizen.” oe _— SocraLismM IN Evrore.—Socialism in one form or another seems to be troubling all the nations of Europe just now, the oppressions of the producers by the aris being never so prevalent. In Russia it is the Gov- ernment endeavoring to suppress Nihilism whose proportions are so great as to endanger the ruleofthe Czar. In Germany the process of trying to weed out by persecution the So- cialists continues, Bismarck’siron heel tramp- ling upon free speech, free press and even private opinion. The monarchists of Spain are just now following Bismarck’s manner of dealing with the same. Public sentiment in France seems to haye advanced in the di- rection of Communism, and the olice of Paris find it necessary to prohibit an intend- ed mahifestation in favor of the imprisoned Communists. The Italian Goverment has its hands full in endeavoring to suppress the same movement whose strength may bejudg- ed fiom the fact that a recent public demon- stration was attended by many thousands. English Republicanism continues to grow, and it is fostered by the widespread distress existing there at present. The chiintées are that if things continue in the saiié state much longer, aristocratic English ministry will find employment for the army nearer home than Afghanistan.

Under these circeymstance, to plead a “State system” against a scheme which any considerable pation of the State’s citizeus may deem desirable for their benefit and for which they ask onby a naked charter, is too ridiculous for se- rious cousideration. 5 fe Gay, Tilden, pays Ponty having patiently waited We} in respect to | a ee ae eg eS 7? +e “te 3 the legally elected presi | r every- Dody te have their say about his com plic- ity with’ attempts to ‘buy the vote of Florida, has at last been alloweg an op- portuuity to appear before the investiga- ting conmmittee, where he, in a few wo- ments, satisfies the country ‘that he had nothing to do with, and knew yothing of, any such unlawful efforty, Thjs was ful- ly expectetl, except by’ the Repubjigan bargainors znd corruptors. 7 ea : - Mr. A.

So that in view of her railroad connections it would seem ‘there is noth- ing more lett for Wilnrington that she ean do thau to enter intoan eager, active competition with Norfolk and Charleston .. for the trade of the west, and if she fails to get it, however much she and the friends df the “Stuteaystem” may regret it, it must yet be aceapted asah uaayvid- aale event. y * Our cotemporary is unjust when by impljcation it charges that this paper would favor the’ plans of any party or section at the expense and damage of Wilmington.

Sune eth slips Gree THE MISERABLE MONEY QUESTION, General Thomas Ewing having, in a recent interview, declared that it would be fatal to the Democratic party to attempt to outlaw the greenback, and that the masses of the Democratic party every - where are in hearty accord with the Na- tionals on their two great ideas—the un- limited coinage of the old silyer dollar, andthe substitution of legal tenders tor bank notes; the New York World says that, “if Ewing is correctly yeported, and if, being correctly reported, ‘he repoyts cortectly the opinions’ snd Wishez of the Democratic masses of the West, nothing but the conservative influence of the solid South can prevent the disruption of the Democratic party as a National organiza- tion.” General Ewing's propositions, af- firmatively stated, are these: 1. The Democratic party insist om the retention of greeubacks. =. The Demoeratie party insist on the substitution of greenbacks for National Bank notes. 3. The Democratie party advocates the atiniited cotidge of the old silver dollar. “The insistance.by the Democratic par- ty om those propositjons, the World says, will disrupt it 4s a’ National organization. ln other words the Democratic party must give up the greenback currency and ac- cept in its place National Bank notes, or State Bank notes, or both, and let the silver dollar go, thereby establishing the gold doltaras the oply money unit of do- mestic exchauge, and the only legal ten- der, On those cyuditions only can the Demoerati¢ party expect to exist as a ua- tional organization—that is, if’ the World states the casecorreetly, 9 © In other words ‘again, if the “Solid South” shall sustain the threo proposi- tions of the Democracy of the West, as stated by “General ‘Ewing, the Eastern Demoerats will bolt the ticket made by the “Democratic National: Convention.

The work from that point to Asheville is in a forward state, and is being rapidly pushed ty completion, all the heaviest gtydiug on that line being nearly completed, mid the Swanannoa tun- nel, ope of the lengest in the coautry, on- ly lacking about wsighty feet of beimg tin- ished, A force of six hundred couvicts is employed ou the work, While iu Kaleigh Maj. R. canvassed leading citizens and prominent members of the Legislature front all parts of the State, aud found the sentiment in favor of comp.eting this con- nection with the Tennessee system of rail- roads, upiversal. The people authorities ot North Carolina vo longer regard this road as a Jocal enterprise, but one of the utinost inportance to the general interest of the whole State, giving them, asit will a short and direct. conusction with the whole South and the northwestern re- gion of the country. A large portion of the work trom Asheville to the Tennessee State line is already done, and itis al- most certain that the Legislature, seeing the great importauce of this work, will provide for placing a force on this road to meet the force working from Asheville in the direction of the ‘Tennessee line. As soon as‘it is y fixed fact this road will be tinished to the ‘Tennessee line, the short gap Letween our gwn roads and it will be built, which will give us a short line to all the South Atlantic seaports. It wjll also stimulate the building of the short connection required to put usin direct communication with the Cincinnati South- ern Railway and the great West. ee “HONESTY IS THE, BEST POLICY.” The forced collection of debts due by mu- nicipal corporations, already a very inter esting and still more annoying question, | will be made still more interesting and annoying by the extraordinary tarn of aftuirs iu Memphis. The legislatury of Tennessee has taken away the city’s char- ter, and Memphis is uo lenger an incor- porate city. ‘This disineorporation of the largest city inthe State is uot an acé of violence on the citizens, for if we under- Stand the matter it was done With their hearty consent and approval. The act was not one of those spoliations of nmunic- ipal charters that English tyrant kings were addictod to, several hundred years ago, but instead, a special favor to the people. ‘The object ot it is to rid them of the liability of the municipal debt of $5,000,000, which has become urgeut for payment, and which the citizen say they cannot pay. The legislature has merely come to the rescue of the embarrassed city, and relieved it of its debt by depriving it of corporate functions, But here arises an interesting question: Can a debt of $5,000,000 be got rid of in this easy and summary fashion? [fit can, the process is worth studying with a view to v more ganeral application. But there is some doubt about the efliciency of the proposed remedy. Several Yeurs ago Washington city was an incorporated niu- nicipality with a debt of $22,000,000. Things did pet go well with it, and Con- ‘gress, with the approval of the tax-pay- ers, took away its charter, and placed the government of it in the hands of three commissjoners; but this did not rid the peopte of their debt; it remains to this day, and will, no doubt gontivue to re- main until the last dollar of it shall have been paid. Memphis now sees the folly of its course. Everything belonging to the late city of Memphis has becu attached on niue gar- nishments issued by the United States Court in favor of the creditors, to the amount of $1,000,000. Tio “comimission- ers” appointed by the Governor are in control.— Raleigh News. ee AND SALISBURY RAIL- ROAD, CHERAW A meeting for the promotion of the in- terests gf this road was held in Wades- boro on Thursday last. President D. B. Townsend made 4 specch, in which he stated that but ten months remained of the time allowed by the South Carolina Legislature for the completien of the road to Wadesboro. He said the only practical plan to raise money was by selling tlie first mortgage bonds of the road, whieh were all properly prepared aud legally registered, and that he pro- posed offering for sale 300 bonds only, at $500 each at par, and if this gould be effected it waa eatimated that the pro- eveds of such sale ould be amply sufi- cient to complete the road to Wadesboro. He hoped that 100 bonds would be taken in Anson county. He felt confident him- self that he could influegce parties in Cheraw and his section to take a consid- erable amount of the bonds, and if 150 of these could be placed outside of Charles- ton he had no doubt but that the’ pther 150 bonds could be sould at par in that eity in tventy-four hours’ time.

Many a young man in a moment of yveakness, or of strong tem ptatyay, has 4 Wrought a ruip that a fifetime, through a thous. ‘ears, can never rebuild. One iyanee > sin, one error, yes, one neglect of daty, and the deed is done, perhaps forever. , ‘In § moment of hunger, Esau sold his ” irthright for a mess of pottage ; millions) of boys sell theirs for less. A breach of trust, an act of dishonesty, a profane word, and the sou} is defiled wjth's stain phat hye gceaus can’t wash away. Tempted to sin, remember that in five minntes you may degtroy your good name, fill your soul with undying re- morse, and bring with your father’s gray hairs'to the grave. But if you can do so much evil, so you may do a» mighty sum of good in five minutes. ” You can decide to live for usefulness and ponor. Everything hangs on that choice, and it may be made in five minutes as well as in five years. - ” Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves ; take care of the minutes and the hours are safe. 1 made a little book in this way ; in the breakfast room were pen and ink and Peper, aud it, when thé hour fyr break- st.came, all was not ready, I wrote a few words or lives, as time allowed. The book was tivished, und it had been pub- lished scarcely a week before I lieard it had saved a soul; it has saved many since. It did not cost me one minute that would have been used fer . gaything else. It was the five minutes before breakfast that made the book that saved the souls.

Never waste five minutes of your own ~’ time; never rob others by compelling < them to wait for you. , > ; ‘ Five minutes’ in’ the morning and as _ poany in the eyening will wake you the master of a new langurge in two or three years.

He could read six- teen hours a day for a month, and never forget an important fact obtained in that time, and this faculty made him the pre- foundest authority on federal law in this country. His memory and his power of work wore the secrets of his success. — As an illnstratiou of this the following anec- dopy is told: In 1353, or thereabout, he was appointed Chief Justice of the Su preme Bench of Massachusetts. He was out of practice and, to use his own words “very rusty.” He set to work, however, and in nineteen days had read sixty vol- umes ov different laws—questious of pre- cedent, laws-of cantracts, laws of ex- change, ect. About seventeen volumes were devoted to Massachusetts law ; twice AS apy more were made up of reports, and thé reading was altegether extremly varied. Now fpr an example of his pow- er of work: Between the ages of twenty- seven and fifty-four he never knew what it was to be sick. He was accustomed in Washington to get to werk in the evening at 5 o'clock and labor tremendously through meal hour's, ang without taking rest, until }{ olclock at might. Then he would smoke a cigar, get inte bed and read histery yptil he fell asleep. In one winter he finjshpg in this manner thir- teen octayo volumes pf scientific travel and recent higtary, While Attorney-Gen- eta] be would hayg js meals brought to him and laid on his writing desk. His custom often was to eat the entire meal without looking at jt or resting from his work. —__ —— — -o-= Could Not Out-run the Train. (Frqm the Charlotte Observer.} Whey the train ou the Charlotte, Co- lumbia & Augusta Railroad, which leaves here at J4.80, was near Johnston’s, on the down trip from Charlotte, day before yes- terday evening, the 3d, the engineer saw two mules drawing a wagon, with two men seated in it, approaching the cross- ing.

Now | have j.eard of your Vege- tine from a lady who was sick for a long time, and became all well from your Vegetine, and I went and bought me one bottle of Vegetine; and after I had used one bottle, the pains left me, and it began to heal, and then I bought one other bottle, and so I take it yet. I thank God for this remedy and your- self; and wishing every sufferer may pay atteyuion toit. Itis a blessing for health. : . Mra. C. KKABE, 638 West Baltimore Street. VEGETINE SAFE AND SURE. Mr H R STEVBNS. In 1872 your Vegetine was recommended {a me, and ylelding to the persuasivas of a friend, I con- sented to try It. Atthe time I was suffering from gemeral debility und n-rvous prostration, saperin- duced by overwork and irregular habits. Its won- derful strengthening and curative properties seemed to affect my debiliated system from the lrst dose: and under its persistedt use I rapidly recovered, gaining more than usual health and good feeling. Since then I have not hesitated to give Vegetine ny most unqualified indorsement, as being a safe, sure and powerful agentin promoting héalth and restor- ing the wasted system to new life and energy. Veg- etine 1s the only medicine £ use; and as long as I live I never expect to find a better. Yours truly, W. H. CLARK, 120 Monterey Street, Alleghbuny, Penn. VEGETINE.

I had not seen hin since the night of his rejec- tion, twelve years: before. But had eget ‘from.time to time, that file had" gone me with him, tach bad met with heavy losses in business, which had brought on mental dhe~ rangement, and for some months he had been regarded as hopelessly in- sane. He had now escaped from the asylum where he had been con- tined, and had come to pay a visit to me the object of his early love. His he:d and feet were bare. A pair of coarse blue pants and a_ plaid calico shirt were his only attire. © His long, black disheleved locks fell far down upon bis shoulders, and in’ the -red- leather hunting belt which fancifully’ eticircled bis waist, a pistol and bowie knife were ci tinctly visible. A fierce gleam of wild delight shot from his dark eyes as they fell upon me. Seizing the knife in one hand, he brandished it over his head, and with alaugh loud and diabolical, drew it several times aeross his throat and forehead so that I was in momen- tary expectation of seeing a friybtful wound inflicted. “Laura Moore,” he exclaimed (Moore was my maiden name), “when Was enough ed you, adored you, as no man ever. before adored woman ; but you scorn- ed my love, you spurned me from you, you smiled graciously upon my hated rival, and you gave him the precious treasure of your heart, bnt I’ve got you now!

Again the madman advanced with the-glitering blade quivering in his I felt the iron grasp of his upon my shoulder, saw the bright blade of the bowie knife pointed directly at iny heart, and stood pow- erless and motiowless as a statue.

And I held up the note and read it. ¢ ‘Mr. grew n—Please send me a nice of tenderloin, steak. A have un pee company to-day, and, I sigh, td provide a, dinuer worthy of my guest.

Hastily folding the note, I dropped it into the basket, and placed it before the dog. ‘I believe, Mr. Stanley’, I said, ‘that you have the key of the door in your’ possession.

Taken completely by surprise, and bewildered at my unexpected flight, Herbert Stanley stood for a moment undecided what course to pursue. He | next found himself rudely assailed by half'a dozen men.

Among them, “What a Statesman Says,” whose sayings, communicated to the Char- lotte Democrat, did néftateh our eye un- tik reprnited with editorial conmied dition by another worthy co-laborer in the Dem- cratic cause, And this is what is anid by a Statesman: “The Demoeratic party went mien pow- er and have had control of the State, &e. There has been neither retrenchment nov reform. The peeple pay the same taxes paid under Radical’ rule and there is a: large deficieney in the Treasury. The ex- penses in nearly all the branches of the State Government hive been inicre:msed in- stead of decreased as promised’, * 4 “Some will say—‘silence, tor fear it may hurt the party. Let us tot expose our party friends,” ‘Phis will not do.” Before examining this statement it may not be amiss. to ro-state the Observer's po- sition on this question of taxes, and we cannot state it more briefly or more point- edly than by reprinting and adopting the following emphatic utterance of the pres- | ent Chairman of the Democratic State Ex- ecutive Committee, When jn 1872, as Chair- man of the House Finange Committee, he suid on the subject of retrenchment. “T repeat, by our economy and reform we have brought our expetses down to a creditable point, But Jet the good work be continued hereafter with “that: zeal, which bys: charagtyrized: our netiou until it is pressed on the memory of, every ottigial, within. our borders that lawful taration consists alone in depriving a citizen of hig property for We public good, pud that, to take property by taxation Jor any other than necessary expenses és highicay robbery'undey the Sarms of law.” That js fhe Observer's position, and that the Observer understands tg be the posi- tion of the Democratic party, “Statesman” says, in substance, the ex-: penses of administering the government: haye been increased by the Democrats.

The pin holes are to be of such size that when the can is filled with water the fluid can only escape into the ground slowly. Thus.a quart can, preperly arranged, will extend its irrigation to the plant through a period of several days; the can is'then refilled. Practical trials of this method of irrigation leave no Plants thus wa- tered flourish and yield the most bounteous returns throughout the longest droughts.

Five ‘years later'the exports’ had risen to the value of $662,332. The same year, 1873, our imports of paper and stationery amoun- ted to $1,326,460. Since then theim- ports have steadily declined and the exports have risen, so that last year the imports amounted to only $135,- 487, while the exports rose to $1,108- 318.

Whit- ney, a gentleman widely known in Cal iforvia in connection with wool growing and grain raising on a large aeale, began planting vines of the “Muscat of Alexan- dria” variety of white grapes, witha view to demonstrating that raisins can be made iv America of as good a quality as those from abroad. Since that time about 200,000 vines have beey planted, As the first result of Mr. Whitney’s experiment two car loads of 20,000 Ibs. each of Cali- fornia-made raisins were recently sent East, one car load coming te New York city and the other going to Boston. The New York Times reports that in both cities they have been received with tavor, selling equally well with the best im- ported Malaga raisins, with which they compare favorably ax to size, color, skin, stones and tlavor—the latter being the moat es-ential quality, The United States is the greatest raisin-consuming country.ip the world, anil nsescaynoally more raising than the whole! of Eurepe. The market is maiuly snpplied from Spain, the raisins known aa Malagas” being considered the best, They come from a comparatively narrow strip ot country in the south of Spain, which has hitherto been regarded as surpassing all regions for raisins of thac character. The annual yield of Malaga grapes averages 2,250,000 boxes of 20 lbs. each. It some- time reaches 2,500,000 boxes, aud last season about 2,000,000 boxes were war- keted. Of this enormous yield the United States takes fully one half, on which it pays a duty—as on all other raisins—ot 24 cents per pound, The American raisins are nade from a white grape, the “Museat of Alexandria,” to the ¥aising of which the soil and cli- mate of aJarge portion of California are well adapted. The yine begins to bean somewhat in the second year, although the fall bearing capacity is pot developed until if ja fiye years old, and continues to bear fer abont half a century, and some- times for seventy-five years. In the eul- tivation of raisin grapes American grape growers have little to learn from: Spain, iut in the curing an:t packing of the raisins a lack of experience is still felt. The raisins are not cured by any arti- ficial process, however, but in a compar- atively simple manner. The grapes ave laid on gravel beds, and are exposed to the sun for ten or cweve days in August or September, when they are ready for packing having turne} from white to brown, and gradually changed to the fa- miliar dark color of the raisins of com- merce. The white sugar which js gener- ally found attached to the raisins sold in the market js eytirely a naturgl product of the grape, and comes on with age, first appearing, 28a rule, when the raising are about two years old. The packing, how- ever, is an operation which requires great care. To properly pack a single 2U tb box the entire time of one man is needed nipulation of the raisin bunches, while at least as much time is required to select and pick over the bunches before packing. Mr. Whitney believes, however, that raisins can be cured in California fully equal to the Malaga or any other raisin. The chief difficulty with which the California raisin raiser will have to con- tend iu the etfurt to compete with foreign raisins is the cost of labor. The Spanish vineyardists cay get all the laborers they need for from 15 to 25 cents per day, while the California produeers must pay at least $1 per day. The very mueh greater prodactiyeness of the soil, how- ever, will do much to offset this disad- yaptage.—Scientific American. PAYETTEVILLE. ee Making ogr annual visit, we spent four or fiyeduys in Fayetteville last week, aud while thers gttended two large pub- lic meetings of the citizens, held fur the purpose of devising means to be relieved from oppressive taxation. The debt of the town is about $00,000, and the Connty debt aboat $100,000, nearly one- balf of which falls on the town, waking a debt of $250,600 for the corporation of Fayetteville. The town tax has been about $2 oy the $100 valuation, and to that must be added $1.25 for county and State, makiog abont $3.25 tax on the $100 which a property holder of the town is required to pay ; and after paying the in- terest on the debt pothing is left for town expenses. The Mayor serves without pay. The only paid officer is a Marshall at about 75 cents a day, and a tax col- lector. No police and no street lights or street work, The citizens generally declare that they are pot able to pay the tax required, and heuce the public meetings mentioned. Many fovored a repeal of the town char- in order to afford relief to tax-payers, mnt after fall and able discussion, it was wisely resolved to seek a compromise with the bondholgers at 50 cents on the dollar and six per cent, interest. As the business of the town has been much der pressed for several yeara past, and trade cat off by surrounding railroads, the of- fer of the citizens is thoaght to be fair and honorable and just, especially as the bonds have been selling for about 50 cents og the hundred. Unfortunately a portion of the bonds were issued fur a railroad that has never been built— Char- lutte Democrat. i eee eee Bees often make long journeys in search of food, A bee owuer in the West, thinking that they perbaps visited the clover field of a friend forty miles away, sprinkled their baeks with flour one morning as they left their hives, having previously requested the friend to watch forthem.

Er ie POISONUUS STOCKINGS A dyer writes tea New York paper tollows: So much has been said about dyed stockings poisoning, which remarks have been confined entirely to the medical pro- fession, that a few werds from a dyer may not be out of place. It does not appear as if any of the gentleman have given the mat- ter any practical test in the way of chemi- cal analysis, simply relying upon mere guess- work, After many investigations the wri- ter has concluded in the cases where bright anniline shades or desired, acids (principal- ly sulphuric acid) are used to develop and brighten the colors, and the simple cause of so much trouble lies in the fact that the acids have not been rinsed out prop- erly. When the stokings are worn, perspi- ration releases the acid, which causes irrita- tion of the skin, and continued wearing nat- urally causes the inflamation complained of. Again, if the stockings are (through an econ- omical notion of the dyer) not properly scoured, they will crack of and color the feet, which, without the acid, is perfectly harmless. Inconcluding,I can add _ this simple caution. Always wash them in soap and water befure wearing. This will neu- tralize all acids in the yarn and render the house. as sburseanents how are at. the , of objectionable colored stockings perfectly sate to wear, now admit without probably | two story stone heuse, situated on a little crooked street in the old city located about sixty-five miles west of here, near the mouth of the Arno, When young Galileo attended chareh, instead of looking at the saints and eru- even at the pretty girls, he watched the swinging of Pisa, or chandelier and re- invented the pendulum cloek. No won- der he watched this chadelier, for it is a the fact that the rope by which it is suspended is about 160 feet long. TIT gave the chandelier a push, as any rather tall person may do, and during my stay in the cathedral it continued to vibrate without apparent retardation, He observed, what few will the remarkable ove, from demonstration, that the vibrations ofa pendulum, wheth- /er large or small, are performed in equal times. While quite young, Galileo ar- rived at the conclusion that Jarge and small bodies fall with eqaal velocity. To the learned men of Pisa, chiefly priests, this doetrine appeared extremely absure, To test it, an experiment was performed by dropping bodies of ditterent sizes from the famous leaning tower, 180 feet high. To the utter astonishment and titure of Galileo’s opponents, large and small, projected simulaneously, discoir- the bodies, kept close company until at the same in- stant all reached the carth. . . i ’ : of these experiments Galileo was com- Ou account pelled to leave Pisa, and took refuge in the rival city, Florence. At the latter city, called) throughout Italy ‘“‘iirenze,” Galileo, quite unmo- lested, busied himself in the study of mathematics, physics, and chemistry until the year 1610, when, having heard that a Dutchman, Lippershey, had con- strueted a telescope, be, without having seen it, contrived and manntactured one for himself of such power that he enabled to count 40 stars in the constel- lation of Pleiades, where before but seven had been The mountains of the moon were discerned, the phases of Venus was seen. discovered in quick succession. Thus, io a few moths; the @octrine of Copernicus, then regarded as heretical in the highest degree, was completely confirmed. -But the'Church, then unused to reverses, and nuekilled in explaining’ away scientific contradietions, saw no way to meet the issue successfully but by physical force. The priests were directed to oppose the ductrive, and did so at once from every pulpit in Florence. The arguments used by them generally ran as follows: All things were made for man, aid nothing was made in vain. But the sat- useless, and therefore do not exist. Galileo -was promptly arrested ov the charge, then a fearful indictment, of her; esy. ip vain did the old philosopher ex- plain and beg them to look for themselves. Ilis adversaries, well illustrating the adage that “none are so blind as those who will not see,” would listen to noth- ing but renunciation and denial of the alleged - discoveries, presenting at the same time the alternative of indefinite imprisonment, probably ending in death. Remembering the fate of the beautiful Athenian woman, Hypatia, wlio was tern into shreds by the monks under St. Dyril at Alexandria, for teaching the heretical philosophy of Viato and mathematics ; and remembering also the fate of poor Bruno, who but a little while before had veen driven from England, Germany, aud Switzerland, in aud who, having taken refuge in Venice, was there kept in solitary confinement six years, then removed to Rome and kepttwoyears longer in a dungeon, and fiually slowly burnt to death, so slowly that he begged for more wood, or any means to end his suffering—aud all this for having simply argued iu tavor of the probability of the Coperniean doctrine, Galileo coneluded, very Wisely, to appease the wrath of the Inquisition by the required -denial. The Vatican Council supplemented this trial by formally denouncing the Copernican succession, theory of the universe as ‘false, and ut- ellites of Jupiter, not being visible, are’ }urciments. ‘ screwed fésly at variance with ‘the; Roly Serip- tures.” ar Several years later, say the reign of a new pore, whom Galiléo® mght niore liberal and generous, he vé fred egain to publish his discoyeries apd” o pinions, and was again proniptly” tarred and tried by the Inquisition “for heresy. Again a public denial wae required as a condition for mitigating his sentence, and again Galileo consented to hittke it. ‘This time, besides his Aenial ‘befete tlie pope and Inquisition, he was requfred to :pab-; liely renouvee the doetring,and deny his; discoveries before his friends iu the Santa Croce Cathedral of Florence... Lest his friends should nog all attend and profit by .his recantation, they were compelled to be present... Then on bend- ed knee, after kissing -the dible,: che sol-, einmnly pronounced himself a liar and. uPe but on departing, as tradition . has t, whispered to one of his friends, “ney- eine it (the earth) moves.” Not content with this the Chuich felt bound to inflict mild, exemplary punishment, and henee detained him as a prisoner for life. Although his prison was his own house at Arcetri, a few milés out-of Florence, still he was not permitted to leave.it, even to attend church or to se- cure medical advice at Florenee, nor was he even permitted to see lis friends until after he became blind, when this permis- sion was graciously accorded him, At his death he was refused burial, in consecrated ground, and his right to make a will was disputed.. Now, in the same old cathedral which wituessed his public recantation, stands an elegant marble tomb, creeted to his memory by his favor- ite pupil, Giovanni, and ever and anon the pricsts declaim, in glittering gener- alities, of the wonderfal support their doctrines received from astronomy !

The stage was simply a slip of glass, but it was illuminated by a little mirror placed below it, precisely as may be seen in our cheap microscopes. I wanted very much to peep through the microscope, aad also through the telescope, but saw no possi- ble means of doing so.

The veil which covered Robeson’s admin- istration has long since been removed. He was for eight years Secretary of the Navy, and in this period expended money to the extent of 3182,496,033. At the same time he sold material to the amount of $100,000,000- This makes together in round numbers $282,000, 000, or more than $35,000,000 a year.

R., the Westeru N. C. Ne R., and for the asylums, will swallow up all the-savings thus mide, and the taxes will reitsiim mearhy as. they were last year. The Raleigh ews charges that the State has .been seduced into taxing the people to byild another railroad, the Yad-‘ kin Vallé+; fiom Greensboro to the moun- tains, and that that is the price the State pays for continuing the work on the West- ern N.

The new building is of wood. It is 100 feet long, 75 feet wide. From the time a pick was put into the ground to dig the foundation; it took only 38 days to. build the house, put in the water-wheel and the machiuery and put’ it to running. They now have 240 plaid looms. It takes 300 hands to operate, and as soon as the raw hands get accustomed to the work, they will average 10,000 yards of plaids per_ day. They will put up another building in the summer for spinning frames. The village is growing rapidly ; the population numbers 650 souls, and to their credit they have but 30 dogs. They have 100 voters, and ought to havea voting precinct. If you want to see work going on, go to Union Factory.— Randolph Regulator. Cotton manufacture pays better in the South than in the North. The time has come to open mills near the cotton field instead of the cotten’s traveling to the mills; aud daily experience proves that money invested in cotton‘ factories pays as well as any regular business a man can employ. Here then, is remunerative work for capital, and the people of Salisbury could do much good for the town and benefit themselves also, by taking this subject under consideration. The editor of the Hillsboro Recorder, writing from Raleigh, Feb. 26th, says: This legislature will probably do as did the last—adjourn without making a dog law. The committee having in hand the selection of suitable persons from the lists furnished for Magistrates, are not nomi- nating any negro candidates. The bill forenlarging thejurisdiction of Magistrates, though strenuously opposed in some of its features, has at last been framed to meet the views of the members, and will probably pass the Senate as it left the House. : eo John G.

From the Raleigh News. The Western North Carolina Railroad belongs practically tothe Mortgage Bond- holders, The State’s interest in it as a stockholder ig a myth. The rights of the Statd in ‘the corporation are practi- cally contined to adding one-third to the burden of each tax-payer in North Caro- lina to: complete the road for the Mort- gage Bond-holders, - ‘ North Carolina did not more lavishly contribute of her best blood to sustain a glorions but fallen cause than she is now contributing of her hard earnings to wash out “mud-cut” for the benetit of the Mortgage Bond-holders. In the nawe of a “North Carolina sys- tem” which was hopelessly shattered When the North Carolina Railroad beeame AQ appendage of a foreign corporation, ronest but unsuspecting legislators are seduced as sheep follow the tinkling of a a ‘he bpttey informed or more wary are bullied, eajoled, induced by support of their local measures to extend aid to this, and the backs of the people are still further bent to the burden that a few men May gorgo and fatten on the public treasnry. This Iron hand is on the throat of the people and when they gasp for breath and there is a struggle to be free, an ad- ditional burdey has Leen added of another ryilway appropriation to insure enough paces i Netta is w life” We ~~ ‘They have been given a stone. fe tong f estern 7} eon il ttily atid | earnestly. pletion Of the work.” Tt does not to see it built at the tax-payers’ expense, to become, as it now oy the property of the Mortgage Bond-holders. It does not desire to see tv the best treasure of Nerth Carolina, raised on -theyblades,of the hoes, and ‘turned up by. the:plow shares, of ber laboring thousands turned into a golden sluice to wash out “mad- cut” that a few men may have a path- way to enormons wealth, . That is what it all amounts to, “Merely this and nothing wore.” It is well to calculate how much North Carolina is paying annually to this end. The total State’ taxes last year were $533,000. Of this $178,500 was the tax appropriated for. paying the. interest. of the Mortgage Hong: holders and building the road for them. A little more than (4) one-third of the State taxes paid by each connty and by “each voter was paid for the heénefit of those gentlemen. The following, is the amount of tax which was levied, upon the conuties named, for that purpose, The Confeder- ate tithes were once well known, liut never well loved in this’ State. “The fol- lowing are samples of the Western ‘North Carolina Rathoad Bend-holder’s thirds — the tiibute money annually levied ou the State fur them to fatten upon ; Wake pays Western N.

The following fs the annual oe paid by the two eounties through which the road ts to run :— Buncombe, $2,200 Madison, 600 The only two counties through which the road is to run contribute $2,800 and the rest of the State is taxed annually for’ this end $176,300. Now how do individuals bear the bur- den? Itis of course one-third added to the State tax paid by every voter in the State. ifa man paid $30 State tax last year $10 was the tribute money he paid to eprich the syndicate (ring is too impolite a word, in the estimation of soine people) which shrewdly procured and keeps in force this tax levy. One-third of the tax on incomes, one third of the merchants tax, one-third of the liquor tax, in short one-third of eyery tax collected for the State is added for the benefit of these Bond-Holders, and one-third of the entire State tax can be struck from the shoulders of the people by a simple act passed by the representatives of the people allow- ing these Mortgage Bond-holders to com- plete their own road. It may be said that they will foreclose their mortgage and take the road. Itis far better that they should. They really own the road. , They will foreclose when the road is finished. Let them do so now and bajkt their own road. They can and will do it doubtless and more cheaply than the State can. The opposition to this ahs cone not from the friends of the people, but from the friends of the Mortgage Bond- Holders. There are doubtless gentlemen who have by this time become owners of some of these bonds by purchase in the open market. They of course had no hand in the legislation which has placed this heavy burden on the people of this State. They cannot be damaged by allowing them to prosecute their rights under the mortgage. The State is ander no con- tract with any one to continue to tax herself to build band-holders’ roads. NOR IS THIS ALL. It became certain that this appropria- tion was in danger of repeal. ‘Thereupon, it is asserted, that to get additional strength an arrangement was wade to charter the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad. By this $50,000 in cash aad $74,000 to pay and feed convicts have been appropriated for 1879 out of the public treasury. $124,000 approximates a fourth of the State tax paid last year. That is to say, to ensure that the one- third of the State tax as above paid as tribute tothe Western North Carolina Railroad should vot be disturbed, nearly one-fourth of the whole tax is added upon each county and upon each trade and each profession and each voter for another railroad corporation. To secure votes, a wide, reaching name was given it, i.e., ‘The Cape.Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad.” An: -amnend- ment, however, to guarantee that some, work should be done on the Yadkin Valley end was -promptly voted ‘down. An amendment ‘that the $50,000 in cash appropriated out of the treasury should be applied to discharge the liens and judgments upon the road was also voted down, This heavy appropriation adding near- ly one-fourth to the amount of the State tax was passed by & minority in each Honse. In the Lower Heuse it received 51 votes out of 120 (84 members not voting) and in the Senate it received with the easting vote of the Speaker 20 votes out of 50, The old burden is still in force. A new bnarden nearly as large has been added. The people have asked’ for bread. The-News is friendly ‘to all legitimate railroad enterprises. It does not approve of such heavy burdens being laid at this time. It does not spproeve of the mode in which the passage and continuance of these huge subsidies have been pro- cured, It remembers that the hands of the men who have to meet these imposts cast the ballots too. It regards with dread this evident combination to subject North Carolina politics to the control of these two corporations, It is no new thing to attempt to control the people by the in- fluerfte of money voted out of their own treasury. There remains much more to be said. The News deems that the salvation of the party demands that these things be said and that“ the light be turned on” while the Legislature is yet in session. There are things that can yet be said, which when made known, will ring through the length and breadth of North: Carolina. The eyes of the people are on this Legislature. The great majority of the members are honest, intelligent men. It is clear, however, that they are too un- suspecting of the wiles of astue syire- }pullers and designing politicians }Hartford, Conn.

Bamberg, 8.'C., was nearly destroyed by fire on the 25th. : This morning’s mail brings from ‘the Legislature a call for'a'¢dtimittee of in- vestigation to iuquire into’the means em- ployed to secure the approptiation of $50,- 000 to the Cotiltield road. I is intimated’ that the promise of appointing negro mag- istrates in the eustern counties purchased Senatorial votes for the appropriation. Our thanks are due John 8, Henderson, senator from Rowan and Davie, for sun- dry bills now before the Legislature. The President is hesitating on the ques- tion of signing the bill restricting Chinese immigration. Russians are burning the infected houses in the plague districts. No abatement of the terrible disease; and the excitement on the increase. Depression in the-eottou manufacturing business of ‘England coutinues without abatement. Very friendly relations are pow mani- fested between Russia and Turkey and Austria and Turkey. A biil has been introduced in the Leg- islature to withdraw the $70,000 appro- priation from the Western N.C. Railroad. This will probably suspend work on that road. We would rather see it suspended than purchase its continuance by increas- ing the public burden. The whipping post has been establish- ed in Wisconsin aud Missouri, this winter. A test vote in the Senate of oar Leg is- lature on Tuesday proved that the Bell Punch would pass by a vote of 35 to 8. a The Chapel Hill Ledger says the health of Prof. Phillips remains unchanged.

As far, then, as the Southern States are concerned, it is safe to say that Mr. Til- den is not by auy means, the most popu- lar candidate for the presidency who could be presented in 1830 ; siuce he is, to a great degree, regarded here as hav- ing timidly abandoned us to the Radicals in 1876. If this idea is here-after remov- ed by a better knowledge of the facts as they existed, the sense of justice to him as one cheated of his office by fraud, bri- bery, and a traitorons conspiracy, and then as one who had been basely malign- ed and villitied by his political enemies as. the impersonation of democracy, must | tellin ‘his: favor.

To Tut Mayor.—I suppose that the citizens of Salisbury feel a deeper concern in the condition of the public roads Jead- ing into town than any out-sider can. This is perfectly natural for reasons too obvious to enumerate And yet they are very much at a loss to find the means for relieving the present bad condition of roads by any valuable improvement just now, and probably will not attempt anything before spring, or until alter the rains and freezes are over. The severity of the weather duaring*the winter is the cause of their disorder—a cause which is general in its effects on all red soils where much travel is made. But the time will soon beat havd when some important im- provement should be undertaken, and whether the roads are within the corpo- rate limits or not, the business interests of the town involved are sufficient to warrant the active concern of every worthy citizen, Itis not the purpose of the writer to propose-any particular kind of improvement, though this question ought to be under consideration at the present moment, in order that all the necessary preparations might be fully jp made, ready for immediate action when 'the more favorable time shall arrive. I jdo not think that the work should be de- flayed until midsummer, when the gronnd | will have become too hard for the plow and the road seraper, and when the work can only be done by the slow aud costly Process of the pick. I never see this sort of thing going on that I do not feel out- raged asa tax-payer at so shameless a y. A pair of mules, a plow, a road seraper and a heavy roller, ; With two or three bands to man them, would do more and better work in a day than twenty men with picks and shovels could doin three days. And yet year | after year, just when the ground is hard- ;est, we see from ten to twenty nogro )laborers-with picks and shovels at this kind of work in our streets. The work | done by them looks well fora few days; | but who would believe, to view the streets | dollars’ | / how, that feur or tive hundred worth of this kind of work was put on them Jast saimmer! Yet we all remem. j ber how overseer Clark and his gang of | Mggers were digging and shoveling for weeks “repairing the streets; ov rather | preparing them to bein a worse condi- | tion when winter weather should) seé in than they ever were béfore. [ am sare j that every intelligeut tax-payer muse be jheartily sick of this wretched sham work, and long to see something of a more permanent and enduring nature take its place; and [am eqnally certain jthat the same amount of money thus } expended could be made to accomplish a ivaluable improverment; or, if that ean |net be attempted, the same quantity and | quality of work can be done for less than | pick aud shovel, simply by more diserect selection of time aud means. | The writer means no disrespect to those | goud citizens who constitute the present | Board of Commissioners, and who have clorely followed in the footsteps of their predecessors in their public works. Ile means only to suggest that the present system of road making and the method of doing it, are too costly aud defective, and should be changed. Look at it for a momeat: We will employ 20 men with pick and shovel to shape up a road by throwing the dirt to the center. When this has been done, we cover it with about six inches (generally not more than three or four) with rotten stone. When finished it is very rough, and as it is always dune in the summer when tlie natural roads are good, no one will travel on i€if itis possible to keep off. It lies in that condition till winter, and when the natural roads become too bad, then teams are pulled up on the “McAdamized road ;” and as the dirt was not packed, and the superficial layer of gravel was thin, down go the wheels through gravel and loose dirt until they strike the bot- tom from eight to twelve inches below. ‘In alittle while the gravel disappears | beneath the mud, and the improvement lis found to be werthless. And thus it [has been going for years, a constant ex- | pense and aconstant failure. And with ‘the same process continued, we shall |have the same result for the next five ;centuries. Our fathers did it that way, why should not we? Is it sot practicable to do something like this: Put oua pair of strong horses | or mules before a suitable road scraper, and while the rutted streets are moder- ately damp and soft, scrape them down smooth and even—taking care to have the implement sct so as to throw the dirt to the center. When the road is properly j scraped up, hitch the team to a heavy ‘roller and pack it as firmly as possible. | It will then be ready for the superstract- ‘ure, whether that be broken stove or plank. If the former, lay on .teninches at the least, and pack that | with the heavy roller; and if it be de- | sired to make it firmer, cover with sand to bind it. It is conjectured that a road made in this way would cosi but little more than one made in the usual way. By the one method we have a mere sqainting at a McAdamized road, whereas by the other we have the genuine article. Itis believed, however, that certain portions of our road ways could be more cheaply planked than McAdamized. “Gray’s Avenue,” for instance. But however this may be, it is a question out- side of the present aim of the writer, which was to induce others to think of new systems and cheaper methods for executing them. If he shall succeed in this it may not be fruitless of some pub- lie good. Mopvus. ~—_ Amusements.—Theatre goers and all such as keep late hours are very liable to con- tract a severe cough or cold.

THE TOWN CHARTER —_ ° AGAIN. _ Mr. Bruner: Your correspondent. was-anintention- ally made to give expression last week to statements which are probably not cor- “ect. If he has done-so, he certainly did not so intend or desire it; and he took, as he thought, the proper precaution to pre- vent any mistake. In the first place, he was writing from memory, having had, the day after the last election, only one glance ‘at the fulf vote each member runing for commissioner received, and he distinctly recollects that between 50 and 66 votes seemed to be the highest the major part ef the aspirants reached. There were four tickets in the ticld, aud by some ho- cus pocus, a goodly number of the sue- cessful candidates were voted for on near- ly all of these tickets. Notwithstanding, he believed to the best of his recelleetion (at the time of writing), that no member of the preseut Board. living received a majority of the entire vote of the town, nor one-third of it, and a plurality not one-seventh. But he was not willing to publish this statement merely on his hon- est convictions of its truth, and therefore requested the gentleman by whom his communication was sent to you, to ascer- tain the exact facts and insert them iv lieu of the statements in question. After persistent effort the gentleman failed to obtain the exact facts, and not being able to see your correspondent, resolved to submit the article for what it was worth, intending to correct errors, should any there be, in this issue. If there are mis- takes, this is the excuse for them, and he regrets their publieation as much as the writer or'any one else can. It is alleged that there are misstatements, but the fact has not been shown. One thing is cer- tain, there are members on the present Board exercising a controting intlnence who did not receive one- third of the legal vote of the town, and there are those who did not get one-seventh of it. These facts cannot be denied. So much for the al- leged misstatements. Now, under all the circumstances, would it not be but a matter of simple justice to the citizens of Salisbury for the Board, which we have shown is not ina pepular sense a representative one, to make known the proposed amendments to the Charter, so that, should there be objections, those interested may havea chance to give expression to their senti- ments. If the changes proposed are good, all will go for them, notwithstanding the great aversion which exists to the persis- tent tinkering with the Charter. You will publish the above, Mr. Editor, in justice to all concerned. Vox Porcit. ee ee Burglary in’ Monroe—An Accomplished Villain. Sunday night a burglar entered the res- | idence of Mr. A. F. Stevens, of Monroe, and made off with his pantaloons, in the pockets of which were more than 8100 in money and that gentleman’s store key. Having occasion to get up durivg the night, Mr. Stexens discovered the theft, and calling assistance hurried to his store, and was justin time to prevent a man getting in. The thief ran, but the next morning a suspicious looking negro with pvvalise in his band was seen going to- wards the depot, and the town marshal followed and arrested hin in the train. | He was force to deliver up a quantity of | money, together with two watches and a pistol, In reaching inte his pocket fora | second time, however, he drew a revolver | for the supposed purpose of firing on the | policeman, when, in jerking it) from his | pocket it fired, the ball lodging in his own thigh.

The children, however, suf- | fered even worse than the male adults, for while only ene adult in twelve sick died, one out of ever nine siek children fell victims to the epidemic. The most remarkable difference, however, is exhi- ted in regard to color. The percentage of whites taken sick was 12, while of negroes it was only 3 percent. ; the death rate of the white population was 2, of the negroes 2.5 per ceut. The negroes ap- pear plso to have been attacked by the disease later on than the whites. In- deed, there was not a death among them from ycllow fever, in either the months of July or August, when the epidemic was already raging among the whites, and in November also they ceased to die, It Was only during the heizh* of the epidemic that they were affected by it. ae These keeping cows should not fail to give them once a week « mixture of brim- stone, soot and aslies, as it is a safe-guard against distemper. - Cattle noticeably pre- fer at times to slake their thirst from a roadside pool, than froma ranning stream or well, and still-kept stock should oc- cassionally be given muddy water to drink.

The Axpress tells very graphi cally that one J. J. Phillips, of Lancaster couniy, 5. C., got inthe show without payiug. The door keeper went to him for thea money and he declined to settle. The door-keeper put him out after he had refuscd to go, but as he went out of the door, he drew a revolver and fired on a young man by the name of Odell, from Concord, whom he supposed to be the door-keeper. Fortunately, the ball strack the door and glanced off, dving ne harm. However, just as the pistol fired, a mis- erably intoxicated person, perched high on one of the seats within, lost his bal- ance aud fell heavily tothe floor. Of course the pistol report and almost simual- taneous fall of the drunkard, impressed every mind with idea that some one had been shot, and for awhile they had old Cain around there.

THE HAUNTED PANTRY. the rocky sea coast’ of Dalkey, there are several castles sapposed to have been erected by the Danes for protec- tion of their traders. They are “still in fair preservation, and have dwell- §ng ‘houses of modern construction built against them. One of these old ‘edstles stands on the very verge of the sea, over what was once a rocky in- let but is now a harbor, along the op- posite side of which is a row of fisher- men’s cottages. The dwelling house attached to this old castle I with my family oecupied in the summer for nealth’s sake and to enjoy boating, of which I was fond. I observed some time after taking up my residence in it, that no matter at what time I yetired to bed—and I gener- ally saé up one or two hours after the other members of my family had re- tired—the servants from the kitchen story sélected the same moment for their departure. This unceasing regularity became at last annoying, and I insisted on knowing the cause.

'' Let the Legislature repeal the appro- priation to pay bond-holders’ interest, and bay iron for the Western North Car- olina Railroad. Let it repeal the $50,000 subsidy, passed this session by a minority vote in each House, to the Coalfields Railroad. Lei it-then pass an act like those pre- vailing in Georgia, Tennessee and other States to furm out the convicts to the Hhighest bidder. The result of these three bills would be to save $300,000 of the taxes annually. The News has heretofore given the tig- ures. As many or more miles of railroad would be built by them annually than under the present cxpensive system. The boud-holders of the Western North Carolina Railroad would then go ahead and build their own read to make their bonds good. Add tu this $300,000 the $95,000 that it is estimated would be saved bs the Salaries aud Fees bill, the Deaf and Dumb and the Penitentiary bills and the $5,000 inlready saved in reducing the price of public priuting, and the nett saving will be $400,000 annually, being over 25 cents on the 8100.

By the death of her father, James | V., she became a queen before she was a week old. She was educated in France, and brought up in the Roman Catholic religion, When nineteen years old she returned to Scotland, leaving France with great regret, aud feeling no love for her native country. John Knox, the “great Scotch Re- than Mary. He was educated at Glas- gow University, beeame an enthusias- tic Protestant, and preached with tre- mendous power. Only a few days after Mary’s arri- val in Scotland, she sent for Knox to come to the palace, where they had a long talk in her brother’s presence. She accused him of attempting to de- stroy her authority over her subjects, and using magical arts to carry out his purpose. But. so completely did his eloquent defence overpower her that she sunk into a silent stupor, from which she was aroused by the dinner bell, putting an end to the con- versation. Not long after, Mary gave a splen- did ball in honor of the success of a brutal massacre in Franee. On the following Sunday, Knox preached a sermon denouncing the atrocity and the festivities, Mary was told that ‘he had spoken in a manner calculat- ed to bring her under the hatred and contempt of her subjects.’ She sent for him to come to the palace, where she received him, surrounded by her counselors and maids of honor, and administered a long rebuke. Knox listencd quietly, and then re- peated the whole of what he had said in the pulpit. For.the ouly time iu her life, Mary was compeHed to listen to a plain fearless sermon. As he left the room, one of her attendants was heard to mutter, ‘He is not afraid.’ Nota great while elapsed before he was summoned to her presence in Lochleven Castle. For two hours she pleaded with him on behalfof the nationality of her own religious ser- vice, ‘Will ye allow that my subjects shall take my sword in their hands?’ ‘The sword of justice is God’s,’ the Reformer answered. The queen was very angry, but the next day, she sent for him again, and adopting a plan unlike any she had ever before tried, attempted by every art in her power to charm and faci- nate him. ‘For my sake,’ was the plea, equally unsuccessiul. There was only one more interview between them. She sent for him up- on hearing that he censured her mar- riage with Lord Darnley. ‘I cannot Be quit of ye!’ she cried, in a passion of anger, ‘and I vow I will be reveng- ed? She sobbed and wept, but Knox was as unmoved as before. ‘I'am sorry to hurt you, madam,’ le said, ‘but I should be more sorry tu hurt my conscience.’ This speech infuriated her, and she ordered hius from the room. On the occasion of her marriage with Bothwell, the supposed murder- er of her first husband, Darnley, the nation was wild with indignation, Some proposed banishment, others imprisonment for life. Knox used his powerful oratory to have her tried on ‘the plain charge of being an accom- 'plice in the muxder. . ‘There is no ! doubt that the firey eloquence of the great Reformer was one of the mighit- jest agencies in bringing to punish- ment the queen whose beauty and | whose tears could’ never swerve him from his honest convictions. | He died fifteen years before Mary’s execution ; and it was truly said of ‘him when be was laid to rest in the old churchyard of St. Giles, Edinvurg, “sHere lies ove who never feared the face of:man.”—The Champion. ed ‘by every. one to be the most charm- eyes, yellow or:aubura hair, exquisite former,”, was thirty-seven years older, badly stabbed.

Gordon’s command which strtick the flank of the Eleventh Corpse on the afternoon of the first day at Get- tysburg, and after.a short but despe- Tate conflict broke its line and swept it from the field. In that fight Gen. Barlow, of New York, commander of the First Division, fell dangerously and it was thought mortally wound- ed. He was shot directly through the body. “Two men attempted to bear him through the shower of lead from field, but one was instantly killed, and Gen. Barlow magnanimously said to the other: “You can do me no good; save your selfif you can.” Gordon’s brigade of Georgians, in its wild charge, swept over him, and he was found by Gen. Gordon himself, lying with upturned face in the hot July sun, nearly paralyzed and apparently dying. Gen. Gordon dismounted from his horse, gave him a drink of water from his canteen, and inquired of Gen. Barlow his name and wishes. Gen. Barlow said: “I shall probably live but a short time. DPlease take from my breast pocket. the packet of my wife’s letters aud read one of them to * which was done. He then asked that the others be torn up, as be did not wish them to fall into other hands. This Gen. Gurdon then did, and then asked, “can I do anything else for you, General?” “Yes,” replied Gen. Bar- low, earnestly, “my wife is behind our army ; can you send a message through the lines?” “Certainly I will,” said Gordon, and he did. ‘Then directing Gen. Barlow to be borne tothe shade of a tree at the rear, he rode on with his command. The wife received the message and came harmlessly through both lines of battle and found her hus- band, who eventually recovered. Since Gen. Gordon’s election to the United States Senate both he and Geo. Barlow were invited to a dinner party in Washington and occupied opposite séats at the table. After in- troductions Gen Gordon said: “Gen. Barlow, are you related to the officer of your name who was killed at Get- tysburg?” “I am the man,” said Bar- low ; “are you related to the Gordon who is supposed to have killed me?” “Tam the wan,” said Gen. Gordon. The hearty greeting which followed the touching story, as related to the interested guests of Gen.

Itappears trom his speech that foreign sugar inakers from whom this country draws so heavily for supplies, are jn league with certain iefiners in New York for the purpose of defrauding the vovernment out of a portion of the tarifi fue on the different grades of this com- modity.

There were, a few years ago, oO, and they were seatt red about in different parts of the country. But the stronger of them have crushed out the weaker, so that they now number only 21; and about six of these have be- come great monopolies, and under the present laws it is believed they inmay soon attain to such power us tu control the en- tire sugar trade of the country, independ- ent of Congress (unless it Were more hon- est) and all other powers. This should be prevented if possible, and the amend- ments proposed by Major Robbins and ad- voeated by the committee, itis thought, would reduce the chances tor menopolists, open the way fur weaker retiners, aud ul- timately secure to the people at large a pure aud Lonest product. The bill ought to pass and perhaps may ; but if it does, it will be in opposition to all the power and influence of the immense establish- ments now fattening at the expense and damage of the people of the country. They and theia egents are hanging around the capitol at Washington, watching ever, movement, avd bringing to bear every pussible motive and means to prevent the proposed amendments. There is no one to stand up against them on behalf of the people except the members of Congress, who, indeed, are powerful enough if all shall prove true to the sacred trust placed in their hands. But avarice often disappoints itself, and we hope it will so turn out in this case. The people of the South at least, found ont during the late war that they could do without sugar in thern. They found out also, how to make their own long sweetening. Sorghum is splendid when eaten just for spite; and they have been the Chinese cane Jong enough to discover that under certain con- working with dition it turns to sugar in the barrel, They have yet to tind out what these con- ditions are, and when they do this, they can snap their fingers at the big bellied retiners of New York and tell them to try their rascality on somebody else. ><> aa WEIGIVE aU We have beeu trying this week to solve the Western N. C. Railroad riddle; to tind ont on what claims the road was sold aud the State became the purchaser at $850,000. Whether it was the original constrnetion bonds, or on a subsequent debt. And how the anterior claims of bondholders (if such there were) were af- fected by the sale. We have been trying to find out whether or not the State is the real or only the nominal owner of the road, and the solid ground on which her claim rests, low the original construc- dion debt has been or is to be disposed of —and—a—n—d a loa of other questions conceyning this thiug. The Raleigh Neos will probably say we are floundering in “Mud Cut;” but we say, a little light is all that is required. We bave been stud- ying the Vews and the Raleigh Observer both ; one seems to tell move than it knows and the other creeps along as if afraid of telling as much as it can. Whose Road is it? ff North Carolina’s, how and when did she pay for it? If somebody else's, how did they eome by it, and by what right are the people of the State taxed to finish it? These peiuts ought to be clear- ed up, 80 that he that rans may read. P.S.

Senate Committee on Appro/ priations yesterday reported an ‘amend- ment to the sundry civil bill weg idling for the abelition of the Government Priuting Office,and having the work done, as here, by private parties. ‘I'he stealage is said to be very great.

If they complete the work at all satisfactorily, they may’ be required to remain at their work for one, two, or even more weeks lenger ; and it is believed they will do it, though it be at their own expense. The Deimo- cratic members cannot afford to come away leaving a bad record for 1880. The people are thoroughly in earnest about the heavy taxes. It will be no relief to lighted the burden on one side and in- crease it on the other—to cut down sala- ries and heap up appropriations for rail- roads or other public works that may be suspended or otherwise profitably dis- posed of. Nothing has yet been done for public schools, and this is a subject that vitally concerns every voter who has children to educate. We are still decidedly hopeful of this Legislature, though we are sorry to say there are many worthy citizens who fear it will prove a great failure. It contains a few men who are powerful for mischief, and afew others who are working for themselves and not caring a fig for the State. There are always such men to obstruct business, and to make trouble for the honest and true in legislative bodies, who sometimes find it impossible to countervail them. ‘lo be a good and successful member of such a body is uot a bed of roses—far from it. It only re- quires one devil to keep the whole world at strife. ee THE STATE DEBT. ) 9 ] ] t t ] The bill providing for commuting and settling the State debt has at last gone through the Legislature. It has cost much time, talent and labor to get it through, and we suppose the bondholders of the State will be glad to accept it. I they should not, the probability is it will be many years before avother bill can be passed, and then no better than this. We subjoiu from a Raleigh correspon- dent of the Charfotte Observer, the follow - ing tribute to Mr. Joun L. Brown, of Charlotte, to whom belongs, more than to any other one member, the honor of securing the passage of this bill : ) ) f t 1 But there was one figure there more prominent than all, who stood back in the lower right-hand corner of the hall, upon whose white hajrand beard the sun- light streamed through the oriel window above his head. The promivent charac- ter of this act was this man, for he had devised the measure and led the fight—a man of busines acumen, and financial foresight; a man who saw the possibili- ties of the future to grow from this mea- sure; quick and sure in his aim, correct in his deductions, tirm in his couclusions; this man led the fight, and though the op- position was strong. very strong, well resolved and well knit together, with per- fect kindness yet with commanding decis- ion he led the tight, bold, fearless and cool and carried the measure without the ad- dition of aword. In years hence the people of the State will as they have done to-day thank John L. Brown, the member from Mecklenburg, for his gallant leader- ship iu the salvation of the honor of the State. Yielding to his opponents on the call of the previous question when ne- cessary, holding his grip at other times, Col. Brown, with that business sense which leaders have, cleared away the ob stacles, and the tide of honor rushed through the gatewags of men’s hearts, tilling them to the full, and it found ex- pressien in that long, long cheer of grati- fied relief. Nor must I neglect todo fonor, to, and if renown can follow, it should go too to Hon. Giles Mebane, Senator trom Casw 11 who looking back along the path of his 71 Winters set an example to the coming men and the young in his declaration: ‘‘] want no greater honor than to have been a member of this body of men who have coufered upon the children of the State that greatest of all honor—au honest name.” God spare the old men! The sorrows of trials and bitterness and acrimonies of the years have not soured nor embittered them, and they come to the door of duty with hearts and souls as full of honor as in the days when the blood bounded warm- ly and impulsively.

The private stock in the Western North Carolina Railroad has been a great Lugbearin the minds of a great many of our people under the arrangement re-organizing the Company in 1875, and in the Jegislature two yeurs ago led to interminable discuasion. The watter appears not yet to have reached the compre- heasion of all minds. The capital stuck of the Western North Carolina Railroad Company was originally $4,200,000 in round numbers, of which coun- ties and individuals held one-thiid, or $1,300 000, and the State two-thirds, or $3,900,000. The private stockholders were those who xuf- fered by the vicissitudes of the Road, They sacrificed everything, lost all the money which they had subscribed, The estute of the la- mented Charles F. Fisher, fur example, wa= bankrupted by the Western North Carolina Railroad. When, befure the war, the work was about to be paralyzed by the failure of a number of contractors, and the progress of the road about to suspend, that public spirited citizen and gallant gentleman came forward and took the uncompleted work of the line as far as Morganton, thirds cash, one-third in stuck. on the stock book there stands opposite the nameof C. F Fisher 1,498 shares of the Wes- tern North Carolina Railroad. number of other contractors and private indi- viduals holding large numbers of shares, while receiving in payment two- ‘That is why There werea the counties of Burke and McDowell each sub- s-ribed £50,900 to the railroad, on the county bonds issued for which they ure to-day paying interest. Thus, while with individuals and counties, the history of the railroad was a record of pe- cuniary sacrifices, the State of North Carolina has neveractnally lost a dollar, save a small amount of interest paid on her State bonds, for ver subsdription was her bonds, which she has sever paid, and on which the interest his de- ‘nulted for nearly twenty years. Under these circumstances, wher the Legis- lature of 1874-75 was devising ways and means to buy the road under the then im- pending judgment sale, it was deemed a just and wise policy on the part of the Legislature to allow the individual and county stochholders wo come in under the purchase to be made by the State, and thus secnre, not only their co- operation, but the withdrawal of their suit to test the validity ofthe mortgage bonds, which would have tiel the matter up in the State, Federal and Snpreme Courts of the United States for years, keeping the road in the hands of a receiver, and so rendering it impossible for the work of conatraction aud extension to goon, for perhaps a generation, while in the meantime the Western people would continue without railroad facilities, and the State be denied that development so vitally important toher. Therefore, section five, chapter 150, laws of 1874—73, enacted as follows: “That upon a reorganization of the company under this act the State of North Carc lina shall be assigned three-fourths of the stock and the private stockholders one-fourth of tue stock, under such regulations fur the apportionment f the private stock as the commissioners may prescribe. That after such organization the number ef commissioners shall be increased to fuur, one of whom shall be elected by the pri- vate stockholders in such manner ax the com- missioners hereinbefure provided for sha] prescribe: Provided, What the State of North Carolina shall, in all public meetings of the stockholders, have a voice equal to the whole amount of the stock assigned to the State by the provisions of this act.” But that the State should not be at the ex- pense of improving the property of private persons, at the public expense, the Legislature of 1876-77, chapter 106, section 8, of the Public Laws, provided for a statutory lien on the property uf the private stockholders, a8 follows: “The Superintendent of the State peniter- ‘iary shall be required to furnish all supplies, such as guarding, feeding, clothing and ductor vills, which together with the hire of said con- victs, ata price nut less than fifty dollars per annum, with the maintenance of and hire of all such convicts as have heretofore been employed on said road, together with all sums of money heretofore paid, or may hereafter be paid, for the purchase of iron, or any other material whatsoever, used in connection with the said road, including such interest as heretofore has been, or may hereafter be paid by the State on the mortgage bonds of suid company, and any and all expenses of whatever charucter incurred heretofore or hereafter, in the completion and stocking of said road and paid by the State, shall be charged against the said road by the Public Treasurer, in a book kept for that pur- pose, and all expenditures and appropriations thus made shall, in addition to the lien al- ready created, constitute a lien upon the fran- chises and all other property of the said com- pany whatever, and which it may hereafter sequire, to secure the repayment to the State of all sums of money and value of Iibor ex- pended and used on said road, and which may hereafier be expended and used under this act or any act of the General Assembly hereafter passed.” The claims of the judgment creditors against ihe Western North Carvlina Railroad amount- ed to $850,000, and to that sum Commissioners Brogden, Armfield and Robinson were limited in their bid at the sale. It had been arranged between these Commissioners and the creditors that they should bid, in behalf of the State, $850,000, and issne mortgage bonds of the road to that amount with which tu make the pay- ment. And so the State of North Carolina became, a second time, a principal stockholder in the Western North Corolina Railroad without paying gny money for her stock, the only difference being, that in the second case she issued the mortgage bonds of the road in- stead of bonds of her own, as in the first instance. The fact aboye referred to fixed the capital stock of the reorganized Company of the Wes-! Le eltvutendihaninanstnemaad igemene-nandaiean aanneananpanenioden Se nnnded —— = . tern North Carolina Railroad, at $850,000, “divided into shares of one hundred dollars each, three fourths of which shall belong to the State of North.Carolina, and the other one- fourth to the stockholders other than the State, each to have a certificate for his pro rata share of such stock according to the num- ber of shares owned by him, as proaided in the act entitled an nct in relation to the Wes- tern North Curolina Railroad, ratified the thirteenth day of March, one thousand cight hundred and seventy-five ; and a certificate for State stock shall be issued to the State and deposited in the Treasury.” Now the matter of stock in the Westirn NorrhCarolina Kailroad, State, county and individual, resolves itself into this proposition. The property of the Western North Carolina Railroad is mortgaged fur $330,000. The capital stock of the road ia $350,000, of which the State represents $637,000; counties and individuats $212,500; the entire property which said stock represente being mortgaged to secure the bonds issued to make the purchase of the said property. When the State shall pay $637,500, and the county and individual stockholders $212,500 to take up the mortgage bonds, the road will be free from debt. And when the private stockholders shall pay to the State one-fourth of all the moneys, labor, material, interest on bonds, and every other exponse the State has or may hereafter put upon the Western North Carolina Rail- road, since June 1875, the said private stock- holders will own one-fourth of the interest in the said Railroad, but till they shall have done so their interest is merely nominal, the Wes- tern North Carolina Railroad being absolutely the property of the Siate until all such condi- tious are complied with. ———_ — +> Ix Favor oF OTHER FoLKks REFoRM- ING.—The Philadelphis Press is enthusi- astically in favor of retorm in Baltimore.

Butin no one thing are we so unanimously agreed as we are in our Oppori- tion to schools and education.

The yellow fever is said to have been commupicated to tlie city of New Orleans last suvymer by a person -having the germ of the disease on a vessel which arrived from Guba, and plaghe (says the ‘British Medical Journal) was introduced into Eastern Europe by two. regiments of Cossacks who had lately returned from the war in Turkey. Dr. Harrison accounts the “plague” in this way: He says re- cently in Northern China seven mil- lion of people have died from famine more have died Salisbury ,N.

The, stomach is affected with loss of appe- tite and sickness; the bewels in gen- eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is, troubled with pain, accompanied, with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. ‘There is generally a considerable loss of mem- ory, accompanied with a painful sen- sation of having left undone some- thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. ‘The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, arid he complains of a prickly sensa- tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer- cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. Im fact, he distrusts every remedy.

Mr. Stinger, Democrat, 2 member of the Committee, Who was chairman of the | sub-committee which sat in Louisiana, has alse prepared a report. Mr. Potter's Report is necessarily long, as it deals with all the points that have been Lefore the Committee, except the cipher dispatches, whieh will be made the subject of a separate report, and pre- sented to the Committee to-morrow. Mr Potter's report is regarded by the Democrats who have perused it as singu- larly impartial and judicial. ly devoid both of rhetorical ornamenta- tion and vituperative denunciation, and derives its force solely from aclose logical deduction of the facts presented by the Committee. Some of the Democrats re- | gard it as wanting in color, or not so | strongly expressed us the facts warrant, aud it 1s not nulikely some member of the Committee belouging to the party will present an additional expression of their views more vigorously. The Report opens with an introduction, which What was proper for Congress te investigate, and what not, and the difliculties of couducting an in- vestigation tuto conspiracies which have bees successtully carried out, while the remains in’ power, It ats forth sucerssful ports aimite chat the confessions of the con- apirators who have become dissatisfied amount fo but little, bat points to the fact not generally understood, thatabout the essential features of the election and canvass in Florida and Louisiann there is no substantial dispute before the Com- mittee—the Republicans having called Flovida at all, and but fe ui Louisiang except as to the conduet of the visiting statesmen, and incidental- ly about intimidation, . ho witnesses in Itdisinisses entirely the testimony of Anderson, Jenks, Mrs. Jeuks, Weber, and that class of witnesses, and deals with the case upon the general controlling facts alone. The Report is divided into three parts, the first of which refers to Florida, the second to Louisiana, and the third to the alleged forged election certificates. Beginning with Florida, it cites the law directing electors to be appointed by the votes cast, and the Returning Board to canvass the votes cast, and claims that the Tilden electors, having received a wmjority of the votes cast in the State, Were thereby necessarily entitled to be declaved elected ; and that the Cauvass- ing Board, by rejecting, without warrant law, portion of the votes, so as to show the majority for Hayes, uulawfully counted Tilden out. The Canvassing Board, it recites, delayed this announce- ment until the morning of the day on Which the electors were to meet and vote, that, although action was instantly taken to oust the Hayes electors. by the Tilden electors, no decision could be had until the Hayes electors had met that same afternoon and voted. The Report then recites the judgment of the Supreme Court, which subsequent- Wy decided that the Hayes. electors were hot elected, nor entitled to vote fur the State, and that the Tilden electors were ; also the judgment of the Court in the Retion browght by Drew, the Demoeratie Candidate for Governor, to obtain a re- }the Democrats to grin anything by it, anvass, where the Court directed a re- Canvass and decided that the Returning Board, in refusing ty count the votes cast, had defrauded Drew ands anlawfully feated Sterns. The Legislature of the State thereapon directed a recanvass of the electoral vote in accordance with this decision of the Supreme Court, the Jadzes of Which were It ia entire- | i votos, as illustrating this. Te deals af length with the.claim of the Republicans that they returvs, by reason of the Drigger fraud, | ! by which a bogas return from) Baker | t Board, which they at first rejected, but | which, after they were ordered to count the vote as cast, they. fraudulently ac- cepted iu place of the true retarn. It then deals with the ceondnet of the Visiting statesmen, and particularly with that of Mr. Noyes, a8 contrasted with that of Generaf Francis C. Barlow, whose integrity, independence and fidelity to all his obligations, and at the sane time his justice, fairness and truth, the Report especially commends. : In regard tu Louisiana, the Report be- gins with a reference to the power pos- sessed by the Returning Board, which, it Says, hever before existed elsewhere. Under it the electors and the returning officers held the grossest power over the receiving and counting of the votes. Un- der the pretext that the color line divided the political parties, they had used this power to fraudulently count the State for the Republicans, and had been exposed by the Republican Committee of the Forty -third Congress, which had reported that the whites and blacks of the State, being equal, gud some of the blacks and all the whites having voted tor the Dem- ocrats in 1874, the State has necessarily been carried by shent although counted for the Republicans. Wherenpon the Republicans set about a false census, in which they made it appear that there were 25,000 more black voters in the State than white, aud as illustrating the fraudulent nature of this census, the Re- port refers to the fact that, while this ceusus reported but 57,000, colored men, Women and children in’ New Orleans, it made out of them nearly 25,000 colored voters, It then instances the fraudulent registration that was based upon this fraudulent census, whereby it was made to appear that the registered Repabliean voters exceeded the white voters: in the State more than 25,000, while actually there were no more, and the refusal of the authorities to correct this false regis- tration in the cases wliere its fulseness was pointed out. From this the Report procceds to touch upon the directions given by the Repub- licar?! Campaign Committee to the clec- tion officers, requiring them to return the votes according to the census, that is, stating that the colored vote by that cen- sus in a certain parish was so much, and that they were expected to return a Re- publican vote corresponding to that, if they were ever to have avy reward or preferment. Notwithstanding this organized fraud, says the Report, when the clections were over the Democrats had a majority, as returned by the Republican election ofti- cers, of some teu thousand, the vote polled being the largest ever polled in the State, and larger in) proportion to the population than that of other States. The Republiean officers made returns of the vote accordingly, aud declared that the clection was perfectly peaceful and fair. The conspirators, in order to over- throw this majority, usurped powers not viveu to them. The Report then deals with the ques- tion of intimidation, and endeavors to show how it was utterly impossible for because the Returning Board had been created on purpose to neutralize any such action, by throwing out votes in localities where it should prevail. As to the conspiracy in East Feliceina Parish, the Report states that after the Democrats had got control of the negro vote there, Kellogg and Anderson, who were entitled to anined many of the witnesses that were the vote of the State on the face of the. before the Returning Board, who, in plained how they came to make their false county was furnished the Canvassing | affidavit in the first place, and how such peatedly they were met by ‘some excuse for not producing it stew they: had ex- almost every instance recanted and ex- stateweuts as they made before the Re- turning Board were totally unfounded. It then refers to the Sherman letter in regard to which it simply states the facts as they stand, attempting to show that the letter was actually written and largely influenced political action in Louisiana, and drawing attention to the attempt on the part of Mrs. Jenks, whose husband and brother are employes of the Treasury Department, to indace the Committee to produce a forged letter in the interest. of Mr. Sherman. The Florida portion of the Report is followed by a list of all the persons con- nected with the election who have been uppointed to office, and the Lonisiana por- tiow by a still longer list of the persons in that state appointed to oitice. The third part of the Report deals with the forged electoral certificate, and at- tempts tu show how the Republicans, be- lieving a new electoral certificate was ne- cessary, and how defective the first certifi- cate was under the constitution, and which the Vice President refused, secretly manufactured another, and how they ante- dated it, and made it in the paper and printing to resemble the one previously made; how they had very little time to pre- pare it, and how it was impossible to get all the electors in New Orleans tosign it within that time; that, therefore, it became a necessity to forge two signatures to the triplicate papers; that there were eighteen forged siguatures, which were attached on the Senate building in charge of Conquest Charke; how the making of this second certilicate was concealed until it was pro- duced before Congress; how, when it was referred to the Commission, it was not read, but ordered to be priuted, and the printer who changed, and the Electoral Commission were served with two copies of the forged ‘certiticate, perfect in form, and no copy of the genuine defective cer- tificate; how after the Commission had decided, the record of the Commission | , was changed se that the forged certificate, which really was before the Commission, Was suppressed, and the record wade to show as if the real defective certiticate had beeu considered and passed upon. “we have got your money for our bonds.” way in which there will be a settlement. would be willing to call it square.—Ral.

Eustis was in favor of the bill because he would avoid race troubles. Whenever races so distinct as the blacks and whites, or Chinese and whites, live togethér there will some time be violence and bloodshed. ‘These things some tines happened in Lonisiana, yet Blaine always denounced the white people for a condition of affairs that his own logie proved to be inevitable. This line of remark was pur- sued at much length and with great ef- fect ; then he skillfully drew a parallel be- tween the condition of the Chinese and the negrves, and affairs in California and Louisiana. There the Chinese came into competition with white laborers, and did not seek or exercise political power, while in the South the negroes, without a histo- ry, without civilization, and without ed- ucation, were made citizens and placed in power over the white people.” ——_ - ~ -_ +. ough by no means a ladies’ man, wrecked his first cabinet ov account of Mrs. Timberlake. Mr. Van Baren succeeded him, and made a Knick- erbocker society in the White House ; but he was so genial that- even his naughty son John could not extemporize a scandal for him. Then we had General Harrison, who died before his regime was a month old, giving way to John Tyler, with his airy sen, Robert, and they went on in a row with the Whigs, so neglected because they had no party of their own, that no- body seemed to care if they were bad or good. James K. Polk and Mrs. Polk came in 1846. At last we had a real lady in the White House—stately, south- ern and safe; nothing could be more attractive. All their four years’ reign was socially blameless and respectable. They were followed by General Taylor ; his household, Colonel Bliss and_ his handsome wife. But as old Zach died at the end of his first year, that dream was soon over, leaving Mr. Fillmore to eke out the term; cold, conservative and eelfish. Along came dashing Frank Pierce, but his wife was an invalid, and his only son was killed in a railroad ac- cident a month before his father was in- stalled ; that administration, like nearly all the rest, was conducted almost without a woman. When Frank Pierce left, James Buchanan came in with his niece, Miss Harriet Lane, as mistress of the White House. Nothing could have been more cheering; her reigu was one of roses, aud she was immensely esteemed. She lives to-day, much loved as the handsome wife of a Baltimore banker. Mr. Lincoln succeeded, but the rebellion turned the White House into a semi- wilitary barrack, and his administration closed with his assassination, leaving Mrs. Lincoln, his widow, a living ruin. The accidency that rose on his grave made no social mark, though nothing could have been more reputable than the ladies of A. Juhnson’s family. General Grant, of all his predecessors, seems to have been most fortunate in his wife and children. He had eight years of civil and domestic comfort. His successor, Mr. Hayes, is having an equally pleasant experience. Such is the brief domestic record of the Presidency since the door of the nine- teenth century was opened. The first and second chief magistrates, Washing- ton and John Adams, had no special do- mestic bappiness te exempt them from the rule. The retrospect is curious and interesting. Daring these 80 years the Old World has been drenched in blood to maintain its several governments. Eng- lund alone has held her sway without alteration. France, Gerinany, Italy, Aus- tria, Belgium, and Holland have all been the alternate prey of revoelution and anarchy. All have been swept by war or subjected to change. The social element has suffered conspicuously. Queens have been deposed with their kings. Courticrs have fled for refuge to foreign lands. Assassinations have preceded and suppe- mented great wars. Fashions have passed away with dynasties. But through all there is ove profound truth, that mankind is happier in the mass in the sunset of the century than it wasin the dawn. Certainly, the most stable governmcut is the Anglo Saxon. Where the Eng- lish language is spoken, and English laws administered, there has been a great aggregate of human happiness. Such is the retrospect of 80 years, or rather since the election of George Washington iu 1789. The aggregate is before the world, and there is no place where it can be more profitably studied than in the city of Washington, and no page of it is more interesting than that which records the inner life of over sixteen Presidents. able more than two thousand years of childhood” that dreads a fiction. daylite in the mornin, soreing amung the klouds, and uttering Jamenta- shuns, then look ont for some sunden | ; weather. ; not only admitted Bridgét, but also injun file, and toeing in you kan de-| Mr. Forfair and three stalwart po- liberately bet your Jast surviving |] dollar on a hard wintar, and a great fluctuousness during the next season in the price of cowhide boots. the wall backwards, and frogs cough as the they had the hickups, look out for rain; thisis also a sure sign that children will have the measles light. at the trial, who applauded the pris- oner’s counsel whenever he assured the Jury that if Mrs. Debary had not been a lady of position in society ‘no such efforts would have been made to arrest and punish his client.

From the Charlotte Obs -rver, Darwinism nor PaiLosopHIcaL NoR TO BE DreapEp.—The opera- tions of nature in her history are not evolutive but segrative and aggrega- tive. The end of Darwinism is, there- fore, but a collection of singulars and not philosophy. It may, however, serve the purpose of promoting inves- tigation and add to our knowledge of facts, and so far prove to be useful ; but beyond that it reminds me of the disappointment of dogs who runa trail made by the dragging of a dead fox’s tail. They find the lifeless tail, but no fox. The four English scientists, Tyn- dall, Huxley, Spencer and Darwin, have doubtless demonstrated them- sel ves to be magnificent sensationalists but the intelligent physiognomist mar- vels that such faces should outerop the brain of the profound phislosopher. Let us, however, wait for the end indeed of their labors. Nature has freaks; she sometimes introduces monstrosities to variagate tiresome uniformity.

Mr. Middleton was absent from the city, and besides herself in the house, there was but a single maid-servant. Instead of fainting with fear, or shriek- ing for help, the brave lady seated herself at very table underneath which the miscreant was concealed and rang for the servant. “Hand me the writing materials, Bridget,” said she, with perfed®’ calm- ness, “I want you to take a note this instant to Mr. Forfair, the jeweler, and have him send you back, with my diamond necklace and eardrops which I left there for repairs several days ago. Bring them with you, no matter if fully repaired or not. They are by twenty-fold the most valuable articles of jewelry that I possess, and I do not wish to pass another night without having them ina bureau drawer.” The note was at once written and dispatched, but instead of being, in the tenor that she had signified (on purpose for the concealed robber. to overhear, for she had no jewelry un- der repair,) it was a hasty note to the Jeweler, an intimate friend, in which she succinctly stated her terrible posi- tion, and urged him to hasten to her relief, with the requisite police assis- tance, immediately on receipt of the missive. , ' The agonies which that refined and delicate woman underwent when. left alone in the house with the conscious- ness of the presedce of that desperate robber, perhaps assassin as well, crouched under the very table upon which she leaned, and perhaps touch- ed by her skirts, can only be left to the reader’s imagination ; but her iron nerve sustained her through the or- deal. She yawned, hummed an oper- atic air, turned over the leaves ofa novel, and in other ways lulled the lurker into a sense of perfect security and expectancy, and waited, waited with a wildly beating heart, and her eyes fastened upon the hand of her ittle ormulu clock with a greedy, feverish gaze.

Thur- man is the decided choice of 50, and to elev, others acceptabls, Hendricks commauds tlie first choice of 12, aud others would aceept him. Nineteen would take Bayard and 10 would prefer Forty-two ifdicated no choice, but go for the nominee. Nearly all that Grant will be the radical candidate. Our North Carolina repre- sentatives, Yeates, Waddell Davis, Scales, Steele, Robbivs and Vance concur in the opinion that Thurman is the atrongest wan in North Carolina.

TRIP TO MOCKSVILLE, A yide ipto the country during tle )eautiful weather we have had for the Jast ten or twelye days isan incident in the lite of one who yarely indulges in puch luxuries particularly refreshing, even in absence of the charms of spring or early summer. The plowiman’s steady march and the turning glebe, the smoking brush heaps, and the sounds which usually accompany the opening of the Bummer’s toi] on the farms greet us now, and break the monotony of the dead yyinter weather. vA trip to Mocksyille is indeed a small matter to those who frequentiy travel the road leading to that place, and to sueh persons we have nothing to tell that can inteyegt flygtij. There are others, how- ever, who were acc uajuted with the landmarks years ago whe would perhaps be pleased to follow some one jj) his ac- eount of the changes which fleeting time has wrought—those now dwelling in dis- faust States and territories, whose memo- ry of places, things and persons in the old) mother State lingers with them Tike mother loys, The road via the new and flourishing village of Franklin, four miles yorth of Salisbury, is a new thing to such persous. It was almost unknown Vefore the war—the village wholly so, for it has come into existence since those days of turmoil and strife. What was ‘fren a country or neighborhood rvad, passing near Franklin chureh, the late appidence of Rev. J. Crim, the Linsters, and so on to Hall’s ford across the South Yadkin river (at one time bridged), is now # public high Way.

It spr ung juto exist- vace under the auspices uf the’ Lutherhn people in the neighborhood, Tjkp) rally sustained by the peeple of Franklin eon- pregation, which is of Presbyterian fuith. ‘The village is located on a sandy plain three or four hundred yards east of the horeh, und comprises a population of farmers and working people chiefly, with , per haps a few who have gene in for the sake of the clucativy§h agvapiages to be tnjoyed there. ‘Lie Academy buiidiug' “| thoagh not Jar, Be, is yet lof the ee bal === [ecome the central pi ft: where all the pablie gather to-discuss and ‘matufes towy prises.

He would be mare apt to find a great-grand son oy Q stranger driving the plow through the earth where stood his once happy bome, There are evidences of this ‘our way” al] along the road to Mocksville, The old plaees that remain show too evident sigus of decay, wwhile others have disappeared, leaving nothing bat a pile of stones or broken brick to mark the chimney spot of for- gotten homesteads. “New residences have been built, new fields opened and new orchards set. The woodlands are not, so dense, the old oaks are diminishing in uuimber, broom sedge stretches where once the grew in rank luxuriance.

Then came the financial troubles of 73—77, and then burst out the winsome graces of belie Winston to set the heads of people ina whirl, and Mocksville grew tame, and like a commonplace maid, was slighted by some of her old lovers, who ran to court the smiles of that piquant, cognettish little jade. But the world moves on with its ups and downs, aud the time is near at hand for Mocksville to come up again. She is to have a railroad. The route is laid out, The grading stakes inark the line, and eight or ten miles of the read-ved at the Mogresville end are completed. ‘The grading work will be commenced at Mocksville in a few days. The work is iv good hands and will go right on to eom- pletion, There may be some delay on the Winston end, but that too will doubt- less be made, this advantage are alveady visible. The old maid's lovers may return when they see her in luck, and at the least, whether they do or not, there will be plenty others to acknowledge her attractions and to seck her favoy, The stranger would be impressed with the idea that the town of Mocksville took a notion, just after the war, tornmn away trom herself, and started off on the Far- mington road. Had G. W. Jolnson’'s wine cellar and yineyard anything to do with this? That sober, reflective citizen, H. B. Howard, Esq., broke off in that di- rection, but. did not go quite as far as “Mart” Beoe. He stopped and seemed to reconsider the matter: drove down stakes where he stopped and planted a vineyard ef his own, Esquire Bove also stopped, but not under -a mile from the Court-House, There are a score or more handsome residences scattered along that road, which, shad they been compactly placed on vacant lots ju town, would now be in convenient proximity ta the railroad depot, which is to be located somewhere near the site of what was oace known as Binguam’s Hotel. The visitor still finds the Davis Horen a living institution, and to some extent in the same hands. Henry Austin, for a long time its proprietor, was gathered to his fathers seven years ago. His aged, though yet active, widow, his son and two daughters keep up the house, and dispense the duties of the establish:ent with graceful gase and elegance. The traveler will find this House more home- like than hotels generally, ayd his yest there will be sweet. There are now four churches ju Mocks- ville: The.

Battiacre S:n Washington Letter of the ith. A number of leading Democrats, mem- bers of the Hlousess atid others, have been in formal consultadon with regard to the course to purspe if the President should wudertake toe carry out the views and Wishes of the stalwart portion of the Re- publican party. The sentiment. of those prescul was that the effort should) be to luake the session as shortas possible ; that it would not be protitable to pros tract the session ifthere should be the ap- pearance of irrecoucilable antagonism be- tween the President and Cengiess. It Was suggested that the first thing to, be done wot el be to incorporate in ove bill the repealof the jurors’ test oath, with perhaps a pew: provisiey for the» proper selection of Uujied Statesjuvers, the ex- clusion of troops trom: the polls, and the repeal of the election laws; that if the President should veto this bill, to attach it to) one of thyc¢ippropriation lp ls; that then, if the Pre Suent vetoed the appro- privtion bill. for Cougress to inmediately and pot remain in session te |. continte any struggle over the matter; that if the President then called another eXtra session to go theaugh the same form of proceedings, and if he repeated his vetoes to adjourn again. The belief was, however, expresed that the President would not be so obstinate in this mat- tevas he has indicated. This will ap- pear hereafter. The matters spoken of ay be discused more fally and more for nally in the Senate Democratic eaucas which wil] meet on Satard iv, the 15th, provided the time is nut all occupied in the more linportant busines of parcelliug out thespoils, [tis generaly anticipated among leading Demougrats that, notwithstanding interested repart to the contrary, all the Deioeratic menbere-elect of the Honse will be oy hand on the 13th of March, with possilily not more than one or two excep- tivhs.

How To Make Farina Pay.— Raise corn and grass. Feed them to your stock, save the manure for your own laud, and thus you will make a handsome profit off your stock, and at the same time add to the value of your lands. Fine pork, beef, mutton and wool, horses and mules always com- mand fuir prices. Cotton does not pay except as a surplus crop, and then it must be grown at less expense than is usually put upon it, But with wheat, corn, hay, peas and oats, and stock to fatten, there will be a sure road to in- dependence.— Ex. - <<>> — Encouragement to Farmers. The American Cultivator thus en- courages farmers: “In comparison with the long-continued prostration of other industries and the severe depres- sion of general business, farmers may congratulate themselves that at least, through the long hours of toil and the practice of close economy, they have been able to secure the necessaries of lite for the support of their families and themselves. A bushel of corn is worth just as much to-day in the fecd- ing of a family as ever it was, while it will buy as much sugar or as many yards of cotton cloth asin the average year, and it is only when sold for cash, vr when applied to the payment of old debts that the farmer really suf- ters from its low market value. Bright- er days are coming and the severe les- sons of economy and struggle with debt will have a salutary effect in avoiding new liabilities in the future, and in making all classes more cau- tious and more thoughtful in their plans.” a> ates ai Plant Corn. —_—— Now that the ides of March are up- on us, and the momentous issue as to _ what we should plant must be decid- ed, we would cast our vote emphatic- ally for more corn and less cotton throughout the South. It would be u revolution indeed, but one that would achieve miracles for the recu- peration of our sorely-pressed people. ~ We would no more hear the wail from the snowy ficlds of the South: ‘“Cot- ton cannot be made for what it will bring!” Little cotton would bring much, and bea very “king” in the market, when now it lies in beggarly rags and sackcloth! It would be the loadstone to draw all the magnets from the North and Europe, and all the hoarded gold besides. The man with one bale then, would reap more reward than he with fen now! And the corn: It would prove the hero of the cam- paign. Our homes would indecd be our castles in its abundance. Lean kine and cholera slandered hogs—“et id omne genus’—would disappear, and in their places, as if by magic, would come forth the “seven years of plenty” race—smooth, round and glos- sy. Plenty would be in all our bor- _ders. The “cattle on a thousaud hills” —Would rejoice. The people would catch new inspiration and impetus, and the South would be redeemed ! The Son of the Soil, New Orleans, makes the following appropriate re- marks on this subject : We have often heard it remarked _ that it is folly to attempt to raise your own corn, for then it never is worth canything. Supposing it is not. Is Hot the producer assured of the future “# bis cribs are full to overflowing? Is he ot far more independent than the man who has none, even if its com- mercial value is trifling ? The true secret of all successful far- ming is to raise your own supplies and sell only your surplus. If this course could be universally adopted we should hear no more complaints ‘that “farming don’t pay,” we should find no more first, second and third, mortgages on our farms; everybody would be prosperous aud mouey would ——— jingle id every man’s pocket." Nee “change T sand, Twill buy THE thoughtful and intelligent labor, I the head devise before the hands ats} Let the present ‘year’ be one’ tempt to execute.

From actual experiment, we found droppings from four Bramahs, for one night, weighed in one case exactly one pound; and in another more than three-quarters ; an average of nearly By drying, lis was reduce to one and a. half ounces. Other breeds make less ; bat allowing one ounce per bird daily, of dry manure, fifty fowls makesdn their roosting house alone, about ten cwt, per annum, of the best manure in the world. Llence, fifty good fowls will make more than enough mangire for an acre ef land, seven ewt. being the usual quantity- applied per acre ; and poultry manure being even richer than guano in ammonia and fertiliz- ing salts. The stock will give an ac- tual return in this way, and these fig- ures demand careful attention from the large farmer. The manure, before using, should be mixed with twice its bulk ofearth and then allowed to stand ina beap, covered with a few inches of carth, decomposed throughout, when it makes the very best manure that can be had.—American Poultry Jour- nal, ~——-_- A Noble Son. There is a story in ancient history ofa famous Judge who was a great fuvorite with the Roman Emperor. Among some prisoners brought before him, who had been fighting against the Romans, was an old man with long hair and unshaven beard, and garments torn and stained; but in spite of all disguise, the Judge instant- ly recognized his own father. He had taken up arms against his Emperor, and now lhe was to be tried for his life before his own son. moment for both. Some sons would have pretended not to know the pris- oner ; some would have forgotten the precepts, held sacred, even by the hea- then, about paying honor to parents. He, however, left the judgment seut, and approaching the Emperor, said : “Task but one fayor. I am the friend of the Emperor, my father was his enemy ; cither forgive my father for my sake, or take my life with his.” He saved his father’s life, for the Emperor immediately pardoned the prisoner, and by his noble act gained himself another friend, for he who had been a rebel henceforth was a loyal servant of the State. It was a terrible ~<at+—___—__ Secret of Cheerfulness. —as An Italian lady, the wife of a no- bleman, who lived in retirement that she might free the family estates from encumberances, was noted for her se- renity. Though she had been called upon to face many difficulties, she al- ways retained a calm cheerfulness, A friend once enquired the secret of her energy and composure. “fam like the poor Arab,” wrote the lady: “he had no shoes, and no money to buy any. He went to the mosque at Damascus and saw a man who had no legs, so he gave thanks to God, and pittied himself no longer fur the want of shoes. And so why should I complain when there are so many | | than I have? I smooth the ruffled plumes, I am placed by God among so many poor persons that I may re- member their burdens, and, in trying to help them bear them, forget my own.” —_— The Match Boy. A Pathetic story toid by Dean Stanley at Westinin- ister Abbey. Dean Stanley in his sermon to chil- dren at Westminister Abbey, recently told a very touching little story. He said ‘Not long ago in Edinburg, two gentlemen were standing at the door ofa hotel one very cold day, when a little boy with a poor thin blue face, his feet, bare and red with cold, and with nothing to cover him but a’bundle of rags, came and said, ‘please sir, buy some matches.’ ‘No don’t want any.’ ‘But they are on- lya penny a box,’ the poor little fellow pleaded. ‘Yes but you see we don’t want any,’ the gentlemen said again. ‘Then I will gie’ you twa boxes fora peuny,’ the boy said at last. So, fo get rid of him, the gen- tleman. whd“tells the story, says, ‘I people who have more cause for grief a'box to-morrow,’ ‘Odo buy thém dedhagain Sth will rin’ ant fete u Sul gave him the shilling and-he started wway, <P owalted for hittn, but | no boy. came. Then, I thought | I had lost:my shilling, stitl, there -was that in the’ boy’s face I trusted, and I did not like to think «bad of; 'hiny, Late in the evening, I was told_a little boy wanted to see. me. When “he was bronght in, I found it a saialler broth- er of the Loy. who. got my) shilling but if possible still mare Faded and poor and thin, .He stood. for a mo- ment diving into lis rags as if seek- ing four something, aud. then said, ‘Are-you the gentleman that’ bought the imatches frae Sandie?’ ‘Yes,’ ‘Weel, thew, there’s four pence out of the shilling ; Sandie cannot come ; he’s verra ill; acart run over him, and kuocked him’ dywn, and he _ lost his Lounet and his matches and your sev- en pence, and both his legs are bro- ken, and the doctor says he. will die and that’s all” And then putting the pence on the table, the poor child broke down in great So l fed the little man, and went with him to see Sandie. I found that the two little things lived alone, their father and mother being dead. Poor Sandie was lying on a bundle of shavings. four subs. He knew me as svon as [ came in, and said: ‘I got the change sir, and was coming back; and then the horse knocked me down, and both my legs were broken. And on, Ren- by! little Reuby ! I am sure that I am dying, and who will take care of you when. Iam gone? What will Reuby ? Then I took his hand and said L would always take care of Reuby. He understvod me, and had just strength enough to look you do, upatme asifto thank me. The light went out of his blue eyes. Ina moment— “Ife lay within the light of God Like a babe upon the breast, Where the wicked cease from troub- ling, And the weary are at rest.” ne He Came Back. Governor Duval, cf Florida, was the son of a poor Virginian, a stern, stiong, taciturn man. ‘The voy was a huge youth of fifteen years. At the cabin fire, at bedtime, according to the custom of putting on a backlog, the old man said between the whifis of his silent pipe: “Tab, go out and bring in that gum back log, and put it on the fire.” Tab went out and surveyed the log, He knew it was of no use explaining that it was too heavy, nor prudent for him to return without having it on his shoulder. His little sister, in passing, was not surprised that he re- quested her to bring out the gun and powder horn, as an opossum or coon might have passed, or the brother might have seen bear signs. She brought the gun and Tab started. He found the way through the woods in- to Kentucky, in 1791. After an ab- sence of eighteen years he was elected to Congress.—A man of immense size and strength, he started for Washing- ton, going by way of his old home to see the folks who had long since giv- en him up for dead. Entering the little cabin door near bed time, he saw the identical gum Jog. He shoulder- ed it, pulled the datch string, and with his load stood before the old man, pipe in mouth, as quiet as usual, “Well, you’ve been a long time get- ting it—put it on the fire and go to bed,” was the reply. : no ee WHAT IS CASTILE SOAP. A subscriber wishes to know how this differs from other soap. The hard soaps made in this country are almost exclusively from animal fats ; in the South of Europe, where the olive grows abundantly, the poorer kinds of olive oil are used for soap- making. Common soaps are soda and and animal fat. Castile soap is soda and vegetable oil. In making Castile soap great care is taken to avoid an excess of alkali (the soda), only just enough being used to neutralize the oil. On this account the soap is much milder, and may be used on wounds and other surfaces where common soap would irritate and give pain. The mottled appearance of Castile soap is due to a small quanttiy of solu- tion of copperas (sulphate of iron) which is stirred intoit before it hardens; this leaves a bluish oxide of iron in the soap which, when exposed to the air, becomes changed to the red-ox- ide. White Castile soap is also sold, which is the same as the other, with- out coloring. Though called Castile, it is by no means exclusively made in Spain, the largest share coming from the south of France, and indeed it is generally known in Europe as Mar- Lough box ; but when I found [|seilles soap.— American Agriculturist, | 4139 various other blanks. fe far ee ert SET ils NTT toenight af you please?” the:,boy plea- |} ie lial fe, Tats, Verka “huogry.| DR.

People aro getting acquainted—and those whe are not ought to be—with the wonderful merits of that great Amorican Remedy, the MEXICAN Mustang Liniment, FOR MAN AND BEAST. This linjment very naturally originated in Ameri ca, where Nature provides in her laboratory such surprising antidotes for the maladies of her chil dren. Its fame has been spreading for 85 years, until now it encircles the habitable globe. The Mexican Mustang Liniment is a matchless remedy foralicxternal ailments of man and beast, To stock owners and farmers it is invaluable. A singlo bottle often saves a human life or re stores the usefulness of an excellent horse, ox, cow, or sheep. It cures foot-rot, hoof-ail, hollow horn, grub, screw-worm, sl:oulder-rot, mange, the bites and stings of poisonous reptiles and insects, and every such drawback to stock breeding and bush life. It curcs every externcl trouble of horses, sueh as lamenoss, scratches, swinny, sprains, founder, wind-gall, ring-bonc, ¢tc., ete. ; The Mexican Mustang Liniment is the quickest cure in the world for accidents occurring in the family, in the absence of a physician, such as burns, scalds, sprains, cuts, etc.,and for rheuma- tism, and stiffness engendered by exposure. Par- ticularly valuable to Miners. It is the cheapest remedy in the world, for % penetratcs the muscle to the bone, and a single plication is gencrally sufficient to cure. Mexican Mustang Liniment is put up in three “zes of bottles, the larger ones being proportica- 3-ely much the cheapest.

C.) dispatch states the only visible trace of suffering Sen- ator Wade Hampton has undergone since his accident is a slight increase in the gray in his whi-kers. His gen- eral health is excellent, except that the change from his furmer active out- vf-door life to the necessary confine- ment of the past three months has de- veloped dyspepsia, which causes him the loss of much sleep. His leg still gives him great trouble and frequent- ly intense pain, the end of the remain- ing portion of the bone being dead. The physicians are waiting to allow this an opportunity to come off itself, but should it fail to do so during the next month it will probally have to be amputated. Senator Hampton, who is now re- eruiting his health at the Londes plan- tation, Colleton county, S. C., in an interview with a correspondent, Sun- day last, said he was as yet uncertain whether he will be in Washington at the extra session, although he would go if he possibly could and his doctors would allow it. In case the business was particularly important he will go anyhow. In reply to a question as tu his opinion concerning the action of the House in refusing to pass the ap- propriation bills, he replied that he thought the House was right. He would favor Congress sitting forever if necessary befure it receded an inch He did not think Mr. Haves would have a right to op- from its position. pose the amendments if Congress con- tinued to urge them, as such action would show that they were the will of the people. On the Chinese ques- tion he expressed the opinion that Mr Hayes’ action was right. In the first place, he did not think Congress had the power to abrogate a portion of a treaty. He thought that body wrong iniyielding to the clamor from Cali- fornia, oe A Glass Mountain and Road. Mr. P. W. Norris, the Superinten- dent of the Yellowstone National Park, on a recent visit to the capital gave a lecture on some of the natural curiosities of the region over which he presides and is engaged in exploring. Among these may be mentioned as the most. novel a monntain of obsidian or volcanic glass, and a road made from this material. Near the foot of Beaver Lake the explorers discovered this mountain of glass, which there rises in basalt-like columns and countless huge masses many hundreds of feet high from a hissing hot spring forming the margin of the lake, thus forming a barrier where it was very desirable that a wagon road should be, as the glass barricade sloped forsome 300 feet high at an angle of 45° to the lake, and its glistening surface was therefore im- passable, there being neither Indian nor game track over it. Tomake the road, huge fires were made against the glass to thoroughly heat and ex- pand it, and then by dashing cold wa- ter from the lake against the heated glass suddenly cool the latter, causing large fragments to break from the mass, which were afterward broken up by sledges and picks, but not with- out severe lacerations of the hands and faces of the party, into smaller frag- ments, with which a wagon road one- quarter of a mile long was construct- ed, about midway along the slope, thus making, it is believed, the only road of native glass upon the conti- nent. : Ou reaching the Grand Canon of the,Gibbon river the explorers found the eastern palisade, fur about two miles in length, to consist. of vertical pillars, hundreds of feet high, of glis- tening black, yellow, mottled, or band- { 3 ol. | Carnlina—the Senegptile inci alltriotté a Oe pee Se ed obsidian or voktenie glass.

Ee ea Pat Donan in Trouble.. to The Donan—Cunninghan Affair. From the Charlotte Observer. Considerable interest has been excited by the lately published statement in re- ference to a difficulty at Ncosho, Mo., be- tween P. Donan, the well-kKuown beau and journalist, and L. P. Cunningham, a lawyer and railroad man, of Neosho. The Observer published the first statement of the transaction, subsequently pul lished a travelers version, and announced its purpose to publish Col. Donau’s version as nearly as he could get it. A copy of the Bentonville Arkansas Advance, of February 22d, coutaining this statement over Col. Donan’s signature, has been placed in our hands by a gentleman of this city, who wrote to Col. D. for it. Col. Dotan says: For the first time im my life, I have recently experienced what it is, in bor- ber phrase, to let a scoundrel “get the drop”? on me, and, for the first time, have appealed to the liwsof the country for redress of a personal wrong. After detailing a numbering of cireum- stances Which had led to his nem epee attacks upon Cunningham, Col. Donan goes on to say: “Friday, February 7th, while stopping at the sume hotel with Cunningham, in Neosho, I received a message from him asking to see me in his roow. Unarmed and utterly nosuspecting, 1 walked into his room, spoke to him, and carelessly dropped myself into a chair, partially turning my back to him as [did so. Ina moment | founda cocked revolver at my head. with a demand that I sign some paper ou the table ins.antly or have my brains blown out. Standing as the would- be assassin was paitly behind me, one glance satisfied me that it would be im- possible to knock the pistol from his hand, and satisfied me that he meant assaesination, fur which 1 gave him credit for just sufficient courage. Sitting down, unarmed, with his cocked revolver to my head in such a position that I could not possibly reach it, he had “got the drop” on mecomptetely ; sol simply said : “Cer- tainly, under the circamstances, I think 1 wonld sign almost anything ;” and sign- ed it without kKuowing or caring what it! was, just as | would have signed a note for fifty thousand dollars, or surrender- ed my purse to a James Boy or other highwayman, under similar circametan- ces. It was my first experience of the kind and Lam free to admit that there is a powerfally parsuasive influence on an unarmed man in a cocked six-shooter at eighteen inches range, even in the hands ef the most cowardly assassin. By reference to the Adrance we see that the grand jury of Newton county—the county in which Neosho is situated—de- clined to find an indictment against Cunningham. Col. Donan continues : Thad no idea what it was I signed, though I suppose, and have since heard that it purperted to le some sort efa vindication of Cunningham's character. But 1 think be avd the company that employs him will find that vo so-called “vindication,” got by the assassin’s or highwayman’s art, will vindicate before the .clear-headed, honest, fraud-hating people of Arkansas the reputation of a man who has such a reeord as that from which I shall now proceed to exhibit a few sample slugs of villainy.” The colonel then proceeds to unfald his assailant’s alleged record, interlard- ing his story with epithets and things, the whole coustitating one of his average specimens of word-slingings. As the story of Cunningbam’s public and pri- vate character is of po interest te our peo- ple we publish only so mueh of this arti- cle as is personal to Col. Donan himeelf. —— Father : “Good evening, Patsy.

Sanitary’ science ‘has been ™’’ , developed, and effective quarantines ars" | possible. meu are more ‘iutelli- gent now, and better fed; better housed, and more ameuable to’ sanitary regula- | | tions. All of which is true; and-we sin- ,cerely trast that’ the experience ofthe §' ' coming year will demonstrate the present’'"*’ impossibility of any wideépréad epidemic’ of the plague now’ filling Earope with’! alarm. ‘te account of conditions now prevailing in Weatern and Central Earope—indeed, all over the Continent—specially favorable to the development of an_ irresistible scourge, Which may diminish the popula- tion of Europe by one-half within th next five years. It must not be forgotten that the fucil- ities for rapid communication character- istic of modern civilization may bes source of deadly peril in case of a disease so malignantly infectious as the plague. Nations are most intimately bound to- gether by commerce, and every letter or bale of goods may be a means of trans- initting infection. Victims of the disease may traverse the entire breadth of the Contivent between the time of exposure and the full development of the disease, With every extension of the area of the plague the possibility of staying its ad- yance by quarantine regulations becomes Jess, and after it passes a certaiu limit, pestilence, like fire, is uncentrottable. The supply of physicians and medicines at any time is adequate only for ordinary conditions ; let the usnal bounds of dia- ease be much overpassed and resistance is hopeless. Such a stute of things is by no incans impossible in Europe to-day. Consider the sitnation of affairs ig Eastern Europe. Turkey is a cheos, and the military power which keeps a sem- blance of order there would seon break down with the plague in its camps. Fhe local governments have neither the power nor the intelligence required te gyeceaa: fully combat an epidemic. The spread of the plague is little hindered by cli- matie conditions. Russin seems ty ke an- able to stay its progress. The Hasgian people are already upon the bvink of des: peration and revolt through poverty ang military oppression. Let the controting arm of the government, the army, be par- alyzed, as it is liable to be by the plagae, and Rassia will present scenes of disogder aud death appalling to think of, Onsneh food the plague fattens. The goyern- ment would be blamed for every disaster, and mobs crazed by fear, and revenge, and hunger, and blood, would do their fata} work in every city. All who could command means of flight woald fly, ang carry the infection into adjoining lands in spite of the strictest savitary regala- tions. Germany is almost ripe for revo- lution. Add to existing hard times and financial disorders. the. busiuess derange- ments which precautions against conta- gion must entail, and a general lack of food and remunerative labor would nee- essarily ensue. Under saeh conditions, socialistic outbreaks would be jnevitable, The experience of Russia would be re- peated, and the steady advancg of the plague over Western Europe would cere tainly follow. Once under way, the wave of death would sweep over Europe ag ; surely and as destructively as it did ig the fourteenth century. ee Do we, therefore, predict a repetition of those terrible times? By ne means, | We have only shown that they are possi _ ble; that Earope presents conditious ! which, with plague upon its border, must be considered, to say the least, as decid- edly menacing to the entire Continent, if not to the entire civilized world, If re- ports are true, and the plague is steadily approaching the heart of Russia, the pruid ptest, most rigorous, and most thor- _ oughgoing measures to stay its advance are imperatively needed. Indifferenge and inaction now will entail the most fearful consequences.—Scienti fic 4 merjean, ——__-aPr —— The Western North Carolina Rajlroad has achieved a decided victory iy the House.

The election came up on Tuesday in the Ilouse. Mr. Black- burn nominated Mr. Kaudall, and he was clected by one vote, and immediately took the required oath, administered by Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, and then en- sered upon the duties of his uifice, the lirst thing in order being to swear. in the suewbers uf the House. oO They havea law in New York which provides that the cost of contesting a will shall be paid out of the estate.

Euic Burritt, the learned blacksmith, died at New Brittain, Connecticut, the 6th inst. He was born there December 8th, 1810, His ancestors were revoln- tionary soldiers, His father was poor, a shoe-maker, and apprenticed Eli to learn the blacksmithing business, who having a great fondness for books and a special aptnsss to acqiure languages, he learned a great many. He was made United States Consul to Birmingham, Eugland, in 1865. He returned in 1870, and has since given his time to literary pursuits. He advocated compensated emaneiy ation, which proves he was more’ honest than the average yankee. SSO OOD OO Thos. Neal, son of the late Wm.

The horse took fright at something and threw young Neal, whose foot hung in \the gearing. ‘he frightened animal ran with great fury dragging the young man for half a mile. He was stopped at last, and the horribly mutilated body of the young man released. He gasped a tite or two and died. Ore A. T. Stewart’s Raasatns.—It is yet fresh in the tninds of mewspaper readers that the remains of the rich New York merchant, A. ‘I’. Stewart, were stolen out of the grave, and the police were diligent- ly hunting for them, sometimes on a cold trail, sometimes on a hot one, and some times on no trailataH. Every newsps- per, fora while, was filled with seusation- al stories about it. And now it is stated that Mrs. Stewart recovered the remains very shortly after they were stolen (by the payment of a big fee) and had them secure all the while the police and the \pablie were on the wild hunt, and that they have been and are constantly guard- ed. If this be true Mrs, Stewart is a striking example of one whe knows how to wind her own business. OOO SS Fence Law Discussion.—We are in- debted to a “Subscriber” at China Grove for a rather lengthy report of a discussion on the fence Jaw, at White Oak Academy, in this county. W. C.

Write down in your books as follows: “The Democratic party recovered full possession of the United Stutes Con- gress, Tuesday, March 18th, 1879, after a loss of it for eighteen years.” Yes, they have both the Senate and the House. They only lack possession of the Presidency to complete their ascendency. Let the people remember how the radical party stole the Presidency for Hayes two years ago, and nerve themselves for wiping out the thieves in 1880. But, let not Democrats forget that there are also rogues and rascals in their own ranks who need to be constautly watched and guarded against. Watch the hungry fellows who are keenest for the oftices. Nine times out of ten they are the least trustworthy, and will not hesitate to sac- rifice the interests of the people to pro- mote their own fortunes, Remember those who have proved themselves to be honest and true to the people, aud stand by them while they so continue. A party in power is 3 party iu danger, and noth- ing but unwearjed watchfulness and stern honesty ean preserve its hold on the public confidence, Outside pressure strengthens it while faithful to jts trast. Inside raseality will burst it up, just as we have seen the radical party going to flinders.

In voting for the law they were fithful to their representative position. In desecrating the Sabbath they were acting on their own persoual responsibility and according to their in- dividual free wills. There was, there- fore, as much or more personal incon- sistency in voting for the law’ than in violating it the next day after its passage. ><> ae THE COMING CONTEST. The Washington National Republican of Wednesday, in a lengthy double-leaded article, makes the announcement that Mr. Hayes will approve of the repeal of the jurors’ test-oath law and of the statute unthorizing the use of troops at elections, but that he will veto the repeal law of the election supervisor's law. The Republian says its statements are not made with the acting President’s knowledge or consent, but “are nevertheless as reliable as they would be if he were permitted, under the proprictics or courtesies of public posi- tion, to authorize their publication.” The Washington Stur says the statement is reliable, and calls attention to the fact that the same thing was stated by it last Friday. The above indicates the contest likely to occur between the extra session of Con- gress and President Hayes. The Demo- crat have determined they will not pass appropriation bills without a repeal of the Federal election laws, and the jurors’ test oath. They will appeud repeal clauses to the appropriation bills, and if the President vetoes the bills in’ that shape they will abjourn and go home, and thus, so far as money is required, stop. the whecls of Government. If the President same programme. Such is the talk, and afew days more will show how it will work. The appropriations required, as shown by estimates accompanying the Presi- dent’s message to Congress in extra ses- sion, are for the army, legislative, execu- tive and judicial departments of the gov- ernment. The whole amount of money needed is about $45,000,000. _ rE + Pe — Eni Perkins has been to Texas, and tells what-he saw. His account is by no means encouraging to those who coutem- plate settling in that State. There is no market for farm products except cotton, But we will let Perkins speak for himself: In Southern ‘Vexas taere are no varns. The houses are the merest appologies— often tents. The people are dressed in rags and cotton ones at that. They teed on the connonest food. Corn, pork, mo- lasses and coffee, and old slave diet seems to satisfy every one. The average yield of corn in Texas is about thirty As which at twelve cents a bushel, would t worth $3.60. - Many a man pays a bushel and sometimes two bushels of corn for a drink, There ‘sno market in Texas. The Texas farmer is poor. Lands have shrunk thirty per cent. in Texas during the last two years. There is no tnore emigration in the State. It isa good grazing State, but no one wants to work. In two years the most enterprising farmer becomes & slouch. West of Austin the eeantry is subject to drought. Irrigation is necessary in San Antonio. The old irrigating canals are there still, showing that the Spaniards irrigated their lands one hundred years ago. I found hundreds of young men from the North in Texas who want to get back but can’t. They came here to make for- tunes. They were deceived and now they cannot get money enough to pay their passage home. As | rede north out of Texas, up through the Indtan nation up into Kansas IT saw that same slouchy, negligent, indolent spirit among the farmers. I saw no good houses in Southern Kansas; no good barns and no feuces. Here. too, if the farmer makes a good crop there is no market for it. Corn is worth fifteen cents per bash- el. It doesn’t pay to raise corn or hogs, so the farmers are standing around, just living and waiting for the price of farm products to advance. Even eggs are tive or six cents per dozen, or about $1 per bushel, — > a eo re Tonacco.—That tovacco may be raised with profit iv this section, if properly at- tended to, is now a matter of fact, and the weed in many respects is the equal, if not far superior, in quality to up-country growth. Not very long since our friend Clay Parrott, of Lenoir, took the premi- um for the best tobacco sold in Durham, and but a few months ago our townsman, Mr. Arnold Borden, surprised the same market, and realized a handsome price for a smali portion of his splendid crop, but it remained for Messrs. C. 8. & S. 1. Wooten ‘to astonish the natives” about Durham last week. They sold 2,900 Ibs. of tobacco for 8750.75, the ‘different grades bringing from 16} cents ap to $1.02 per lb. This lot was the product of only abont four acres, and is hardly one-fifth of Messrs. Wooten’s last year’s crop, and asit was decidedly the worst of their crop, we look with some interest to the future sales. -What is worthy of note is the fact that the weed grown here avera- ges a larger portion of tine bright yellow tobacco than is the case ap the country. Our up-country friends had better come dowy here.—Goldsboro Messenger. do Tonacco Tax Repuction.—The man- nfacturers look for a good time after the Ist of May, when the reduction ‘of the tax from 24 to 16 eents goes into effect. As yet, however, they are not doing much. Brands and styles will tiave to beretar- ranged for the new era; and eld stocks worked off; and, therefore,it will be several weeks before active operations begin in the manufacturing department.

There is already a charter, ratified 18th Feb. 1875, with Wm. L. Brown, R. D. Brown, J. S. Adams, C. C. Sanford, Thowas Brown and R. 8S. Gowan, Com- missioners, to carry out its provisions. There has been little or nothing done un- der this charter; butas the present is a more auspicious time, it is hoped these Commissioners will attend the meeting, and assist Jn inaugurating the new effort. The charter secures to them exclusive rights conditioned on the commencement of the work within five years. Four years and a month of the time have ex- pired withont any commencement, aml so far as known, there will be none under their direction unless they will now come forward. . — rT a IMPORTANT LAWS. —_ An Act to be Intitled An Act to Define the Meaning of False Pretense.

OPENING THE BALL A LA “PROG- RESS” AND THE COON HUNT. Mr. Epitor: The article on the Tem- perauce Question signed ‘‘Progress” in the Watchman of last week reminds meof anineident. Once upon a time while on a visit to:the Reedy Creek neighborhood of my native county, I met a Mr. Cooley who was fond of coon hunting. He had just bouglt a beautiful speekled hound named Trail, being highly recommended te him as a tirst-class coon dog. But the truth was Trail had been the leader of a cele- brated pack of for-hounds; and the souud of the hunter's horn had for him bat one meaning—it meant a fox hunt. His new master didn’t know this, however, and Was anxious to pit the sagacity and cour- age of ‘Trail against the best coon in the county. A party of about a dozen was soon erganized, and, about eight o’clock on a dark and dewy autumn eve- ning, Cooley’s horn woke the echoes. Trail was in eestacies. Several other dogs of various breeds declared themselves ready, and we started. We had gone scarcely a mile when, sweet as the sub- dued wail of an organ pipe, the deep-ton- ed voice of Trail broke the silence of the forest. “Whoop, Trail shouted Cooley. Trails rapidly iucreasing notes, with an accompaniment of various canine intena- tions, sent back the news that be wi3 on avery warm trail. It soon became evi- dent that he was close to the flying heels ot something which Cooley took tor granted to beg coon. Away all went, the dogs after the “varmint,” Cooleyafter tle dogs, and the rest of us after Cooley. O, the wild | pulsations that thrilled our frames as, with jnerve and muscle tense, we leaped over ‘logs, and dived under the brushwood, land darted around obstacles, expecting levery moment to hear Trail in’ lively quarter notes announcing that the game hwas “treed.” Bat that game didn't tree.” } On and on we went, down from the forest- crowned hills to the broad lowlands of Reedy Creek, through immense morasses to the margin of the stream, down the | creek, across the creek, back again, back ito the other side, then across the swainp, then around the swamp, then away thro’ apparently interminable ticlds whose wild weeds wrapped about our heads and drenched us with showers of dewy spray, jon through immense pastures where tink - ling sheep bells mingled with Prail’s mel- ilow notes, then again into the deep, dark forests, where ever amon the maticions erunting of numberless swine, suddenly aroused irom their midnight nap, greeted us as we flew past them guided by the sound of Cooley’s stentorian ‘Whoop Trail,” repeated as often his lungs could spare wind enough to give it vent. On we weut, Trail opened” melodiously, Cooley whooped incessently, we followed | ambitiousty, determined to ‘be in at the | death.’ But hereby “hangs a tale.” It seemed that onr supposed coon knew the exact locality of the den of every aquatic animal ou Reedy Creek, of the (ramping ground of all the hares aud flying squir- | 'vels in the country, of the resting place of | all the docks and herds in the pastures, | jand all the hog beds in the woods; for he istirred thea all up in his flight. And, } for Ways Chat were dark, and for tricks that were vain Th:t particular coon was pecullar. He led ‘Vrail through the midst of all the wild and domestic animals of that re- gion. Minks, muskrats, hares, flying sqiurrels, goats, sheep, hogs and cows had but little rest that night on our line of mareh, Of course we understood the ruse. lit was a tacit invitation to Trail, from that supposed coon, to turn his attention lto some other ‘tvarmint” and let him alone. 'It was the old trick over of the thief cry- jing “stop thief!" in order to create (asa | friend ot mine would say) a‘diversement” sin his own faver. But Vrail wouldn't di- verse. Noamount of muskrat odor, no | Hashing Jeunie-cotton-tails, no prospect jof savory mutton, nor anything else could turn him aside from his purpose—he hue what he was after—aud the chorus to his music seemed to be “A true sportsman am TI, for the game once tn view, With Unrestrained ardor the Chase | pursue ;” as, true to his earlier training, he leaped over rat holes, and warm rabbit) forms, and plunged through steaming hog beds, aud herds of dismayed sheep, uever fora moment losing the sceut of his) favorite (prey. (Phere wasa worthless yellow cur l along Whoevery now and then accepted the delicate invitation of the pursued party, and turned after one or another of the trightened animals; but it always ended, las every enterprise entered upon by quad- rupedal or bipedal yellow dogs always ends -it came to,nothing. The intelligent public will make the application, so we will leave that yellow dog, and his two- legved kinsman, if he hasany about here, and follow Trail.) Early in the chase it | was suggested to Cooley that it couldu’t be a coon we were after, buta fox; that |coons never acted so treacherously to- i wards their brethren of the field) and for- lest, while If was known that foxes would, and hence much of their reputation for cunning. Bat Cooley would not hear to it. He had bought Trail for a coon dog ; he wanted lim to be a coon dog; he must be a coon dog; and, say what we would Cooley would have it threagh all that night that the thing we were after was a coon. The rest of the party, however, was quite as well satisticd that it was a fox. But, notwithstanding our difference of opinion, we stuck together (all except the yellow dog) and pressed that coon (or fox) jimercilessly until morning. About day- break Cooley suddenly chanzed his mind, he vowed it was the devil aud called off his dog. So we neither “treed” nor “tail- ed” him; and whether it wasa coon, a fox, or the devil is a point not yet settled. But when daylight revealed to us our where- abouts, one fact was clear beyond dispute, viz: We had run that “varmint” clean out of the county. We started him in Warren and left him in Halifax, full ten miles from the place where we “jumped” him. All this was the result of ‘rail’s stern resolve to follow, to stick to that ‘‘varmint,” and of Cooley’s unalterable determination to follow, no matter where they went or what they did. Now, Mr. Editor, “Progress” has, like that fux, at the risk of gaining for himself the unenviable reputation of a large de- gree of personal familiarity with all the immoral and vicious elements of society, plunged into and stirred up a multitude of human “varmints” and practices, some real, some imaginary, and holds them up to public contempt, in order to divert-at- tention from the liquor traftic. He eails up more than twenty differcut objects ; a as commitigled mess of things: snered; seen lav qud ‘profane, and coolly invites the I forbids.) Like the cnttle-fish he seeks to sereen himisclf, or the liquor traffic, by blaek- mailing all other elements of good, bad aud indifferent. - His article too absurd and preposterous to need a se- rious reply. Nove bat yellow dogs could possibly be misled by it. Fhave given the above incident to illus- traté the motive of “Pro ;” aud also hthatiof the friends of prohibition. Fellow citizens of Rowan county, we are after that e-f-devil- the liquor traffic. Let the fidel- ity and sagacity of Trail inspire us. The Legislature of North Carolina is ringing in our ears the energetic echoes of Cool- ey’s “Whoop Trail!” The hearts of thou- sands of noble men, and pure women, and sweet children in.this and other counties are'withus. With this cloud of witnesses compassing us about, let..us stick to the original track, ~“Progress” has done us the kindness, for which I profoundly thank him, of placing as where we must either imitate aud emulate the noble example of Trail, or the contemptible indecision of that yellow dog. Whether it be coon, fox, or devil, we can “tree” him, “tail” bim, or run hin out of the county. Now, friend “Progress,” as you seem to be a specimen of the genus Ishmael, let us hear from you again, you can farnish such excellent background for the display of virtue. NIMROD, JR. March 17, 1879. ——— ~~ — --— For the Watchman. A “HAPPY COUNTRY.” Mr. Epitor: In reading extracts from the report of the United States Minister to Holland I saw the following interest- ing facts: ‘There has not been a bank failure for forty years, and the paper money of the banks eqaals the gold. There is no failure of w fire insurance company on record, and the companies realize six per cent. yearly, although the rate of insurance is only a half per cent. First-class railroad travel is only one cent per mile, yet the roads pay good dividends. Dilfering oftieers are searcely ever heard of, and are severely punished aud forever disgraced when exposed. No free passes are granted to anybody. Dishonesty or failure in business means public dishonor. Four millions of people live within an area of 20,000 square miles, and appear to be prosperous aud con- tented. All live within their ineome, and are industrions and honest.” Behold the contrast when the above is placed by the side of the faets now existing in this country! There is one item in which we are in advance of that “happy country,” as the writer from) whom the above is quoted ealls Holland. Our railread com- panies give indalgence to some classes of of travelers who really deserve it—such as ministers and delegates to religious conventions, &c., who ought to be fa- vored, for very often in going they sacri- tice time for which they uever receive any pecuniary remuneration, In every other item we are, in one sense of the word, fully as far ahead of that “happy coun- try,” but would be glad could we retro- grade. Since the day Jay Cook & Son, of Philadelphia, failed, we searecly read ’ ja paper giving mach news from all parts of the Union without learning that some other banking company has done like- wise, Our paper money is a kind of Huctuating material, one day worth as much as gold, and the next we know not What itis. Occasionally we learn that a fire insurance company has broken. A jolting on the railroad costs from three to five cents per mile. Well may our com- panies give reduced rates and free tickets to ministers and a few others! They dividuals before the next Presbytery or Conterence convenes. As for pilfering otticers—shail it be said we have a few of them?) Indeed we have many, and why Beeause we do not panish them severely and forever afterwards regard them as publicly disgraced, when we Know them to be guilty. If a poor day laborer, pinched by necessity, robs a hen roost or kills somebody’s sheep without pernis- sion, we condemn him and kick him out of society ; but when a talented man lays some long bond-scheme and thus defrauds to the amount of millions, or pilfers the trust contidentially given into his hands by a frée and virtuous people, le is not dealt with so severely. We are none too severe with the one who robs the hen roost, but we deal too gently with those who pilfer public trusts. While we have a penitentiary every office pilferer, no matter how small the amount, shoald be jlodged there for ninety and ning years. |The man who accepts a public trast with a solemn oath, and voluntarily betrays that trust, is no&fit for civilized society. The same punishment should rest upon the statesman who for any consideration whatever sells his vote or influence. Dishonesty and failures in’ business are so common thata man scarcely dares condemn them. Some honest men_ fail, of course. ‘They never pay their cred- itors with bankrupt notices for hard- earned money, obtained by lying and fair promises, and then live in ease with their dear families, while their creditors and their families live by their own hard laber. If an honest man fails, he never hides behind $3,000 worth of property laid off as a $1,500 homestead. Very few honest men have gone into bank- ruptey, and very few calculated to do business have made failures. A man who makes way with his property and keeps it out of the hands of those whom he legally owes, and then lives in ease, is as notoriously dishonest as the oftice pilferer. and onght to have the same punishment. Give us a law to punish all such rascals as they should be, and then we will have better times. U. For the Watchman. “Common Schools.’’ Mr. Epitor: When I saw a commuani- cation in your last paper headed as above and signed “Teacher,” 1 telt gratitied, because I hoped to see some valuable suggestions and a skctch of some feasible, practical plan, with present resourses, by which ourcommon schools might be benefit edand their usefulness promoted. Experi- ence in any given line is far more relia- able than mere observation, without any familiar acquaintance. This general sub- ject has for some time been of interest to the writer, and he has always been glad tu see any ideas from those whose business it is to teach bearing on it. Buta mere casual reader of ‘Teacher’s” effort will see little to instruct or interest him. He says at present there are many “‘ery- ing impediments to that degree of prosper- ity that might be attained,” in the matter of these schools; ‘but gives only one im- pediment—the want of “a uniform series of text books.” This is, indeed, a draw- back in some rare instances; bat the re- mark is about as wise as the assertion that water runs down hill, Most teach- ers select their own'series, and. prefer to do so, “Teacher” also believes that the frienils of prohibition to let the liquor traffic alove and try their hand on them.| would specify them bat want of space, more than make #6 back off the same in- | ae ; eg Se Ee ee : x down, wikia watkae wages and the scheol term. to:the fate of chree, acknowledge the same ne- tessity ! pled way to point out what might be done so to by spegking of how uumereifa are eae by het “Teacher” thinks he is viewed’as “a fit snbjevt for ceusure—all , kinds of_hatefal. treatment—and pours forth his sorrowings over tliis into the ears of intelligent men who have been reading, reading, hoping to see some practical, common-sense views on this realy important subject. ‘The fact is, Mr. Editor, now-a-days a great mauy men mistake puffing and blowing and coutinual squirming, some where, and some how, for energy and enterprise. Sach seems to be the case with ‘Teach- er;” he wanted a production in print to transmit to his expectant posterity.— Let us have done with sach empty talk and grambling.

To-day at 12 o’cluck the Legislature ad- journs without day. ‘The constitution limits its session to sixty days. ‘The him- itation was reached on the 8th, and since that time the session has been at the will of the members and at their expense. A Legislature sitting without compensation, at their own volition, is a spectacle never before witnessed in the history of North Carvlina. Moved solely by co. s derations for the public weal, beth parties uave uu- selfishly and patriotically protracted the session at their own expense and incun- venience. This is, indeed and truth, a proud record for North Carolina. The same lofty considerations have inspired the most of the legislation enacted at this sessiou. Mistakes there have been, of course. A large majority of the members were inexpeienced in legiwlation. Mauy of them were in public fur the tirst time, and consequeutly without that quick ap- prehension ef public attairs esseutial to the dispatch of public business and the intelligent discharge of public duties. ‘They have done well. They have done their duty honestly and conscientiously, as they understood that duty. It will be a2 memerable Legislature. The patriotic adjustment of the gravely complicated senatorial question in the election of Gov. ‘Vance to the United States Senate makes it memorable. The hovorable adjustment of the State debt, which has been a most grievons in- cubus upon the prosperity of the State, makes it memorable. The successful inauguration of the PEOPLE'S REFORM MOVEMENT, which hith- erto unaided internal improvement schemes in the State makes it memorable. The general weal has been subserved, and the verdict of the people will be—it is hard to tell what it will be.—Raleigh News, of March 14th. ———- -—- Families who use oil should keep in mind that the ight and dangerous pro- dacts of petroleum will often give a clear and brilliant light; they should also re- member that a better light is furnished by Pratt’s Astral Oil ata trifling additional cost with the advantage of absolute safe- ty J.D.

People are getting acquainted—and those who are not ought to be—with the wonderful merits of that great American Remedy, the MEXICAN Mustang Liniment, FOR MAN AND BRAST. This liniment very naturally originated in Amer ca, where Nature provides in her laboratory such surprising antidotes for the maladies.of her ehil dren. Its fame has been spreading for 55 years, until now it encircles the habitable globe. The Mexican Jiustang Liniment is a matchless remedy forallexternalailments of man and beast. To stock owners and farmers it is invaluable. A single botilc often saves a human lifeor re stores tho usefulness of an excellent horse, ox cow, or slicep. It curcs foot-rot, hoof-ail, hollow horn, grub. screw-worrl, shouldcr-rot, mange, the bites and stinzs of poisonous reptilcs and insects, and every such drawbaex to stock breeding and bush life. It cures every externcl trouble of horses, such as lameness, scratches, swinny, sprains, founder, wind.gall, ring-borc, ctc., ete. The Mcxiccn Mustang J.‘niment 1s ‘the quickest cure in the world for eccidents occurring in the family, in the absence of a physician, such as burns, scalds, sprains, cuts, ctc.,and for rheuma- tism, and stiffness cngendered by exposure. Par- ticularly valuable to Mincrs. It is the cheapest remedy in the world, for it penetrates the muscle to the bone, and a single «plication is generally sufficient to cure. Mexican Mustang Liniment is put up in three ‘zes of bottles, the larger ones being proportion- 2 tly much the cheapest. Sold everywhere, . 4 Subscribe fur the Watchman only $2.

Other animals have neither the notion nor ability to act in a similar manner, and therefore swim naturally, When a man falls into deep water, he will rise to the surface, and will continue there if he doé$ not elevate his hands. If he moves his hand under the water in any way he pleases, his head will rise 80 high as to allow him free liberty to breathe; and if he will use his legs as in the act of walking, (or rather of walking up-stairs,) his shoulders will rise above the water, so that he may use the less exertion with his hands, or apply them to other purposes. hese plain directions are recommend- ed to the recollection of those who have not learned to swim ia their youth, as they may be found highly advan- No man ever like A.

Willian S, Smith, then Secretary to the London Lega- tion, and afterwards husband of the only daughter of John Adams, carri- ed the letter to Jefferson, who, in com- pany with Mr. Smith, praceeded to London, where they met Richard Pe- ters, a well-known public man of that time. Onthe evening of Saturday, Marc! 25, 1786, they had, it seems, been invitdd to dine with Mr. Adams, but were led into Dolly’s chop-house, famous for its good cheer. While there a rhyme was written by one of the three—by Mr. Peters, it is believ- ed,—and after being signed by each of them was addressed to Mr. Adams. It is as follows : “March 26, (1786) 4 past 2—Dolly’s.” “One among our many follies Was calling in for steaks at Dolly’s Whereby we've lost—and feel like sinners That we have missed much better dinners Nor do we think that us tis hard on Most humbly thus to beg your pardon And promise that avother time We'll give our reasons not our rhyme So we've agreed —our Nem: Con: vote is That we thus jointly give you notice For as our rule is to be clever We hold it better late than never.” _ The original of this production is in the possesion of Mr. Charles Bruff, of Brooklyn. eo Col.

Many people seem to think that the capacity to entertain people, and to be entertained, comes naturally ; that cer- tain ones can make people happy, be- cause they are gifted and have extra- ordinary endowments which make it possible for them to delight people. It never seems to occur to them that in order to entertain people one must give thought to it; that people are not made happy without effort—wisely | directed effort. Our observation leads us to think paniouship of the world comes from, the good forethought of somebody. Somebody has planned it. The hap- py occurrence was not an accident; it All the little and sweet social surprises of was the result of premeditation, life; all the little domestic seerets be- tween children and parents, which, in their unfolding, brim = the household | with gladness ; all the larger and more stately social festivities that keep the | life of a neighborhood and village | buoyant, are only the natural sequence of benevolent and good-natured thought on the part of some one. Have you invited a little company to your house of an evening, friend ? Well, then, bow do you propose to entertain them? Do you think that sliced tonuge and escaloped oysters will suffice? These do well for the physical condition. But how shall you feed the intellects and cheer the spir- its of your guests? Music?

Its “mutterings” will do more to. harmonize the soul than any other thing that can be de- vised. The zolian harp consists of a very thin deal, long, narrow box of about five or six inches deep, with a circle in the middle of the upper side of one and a half inches in diameter, in which is to be drilled small holes. On this side seven, ten, more strings of very fine gut are stretched over bridge: at each end, like the bridge of a fiddle, and ywed up or relaxed with screw pire strings must all be tuned to one and the same note, and the instrument placed in some current of air where the wind can pass over its,strings with freedom. For instance, a window of which the width is exactly equal to the length of the harp, with the sash just raised to give the air admission, is a proper sit- uation ; when the air blows upon these strings with different degrees of force, it will excite different tones of sound.

The am- ateurs who had found such fault with the performance, surprised at sceing a traveler burden himself with an ob- ject of such large dimensions and of so little value, inquired of him ironic- ally, how much he expected to gain by lits bargain. “A mere trifle, gen- tlemen,” replied the officer; perhaps 15,000 franes.” “How do you mean?” “Yes, I mean 15,000 francs, my con- noisseurs, for this picture, which you think so lightly of, isa real Jordeans, and one of his very finest performan- ces.” The painter and his companions, struck by the confidence of his man- ner, retired with evident signs of vex- ation at having missed such an oppor- tunity.

The Supreme Court of the United States, in answer to a petition from the counsel for the State of Virginia, has issued a rule requiring Judge Rives to appear before it on the 31st day of March to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue commanding him to cause to be de- livered to the jailor of Patrick coun- ty, Va., the bodies of Burwell and Lee Reynols, colored men, about whom the dispute between Judge Rives and the State authorities has grown. oo The New Orleans papers are just now indulging in some very timely comments upon the daily murders thatshave disgraced that city during the past few weeks, and they unite in calling upon the Legislature to pass severe thelaws against carrying weapons, and upon the courts to enforce them with the utmost rigor and bring all murderers to justice. It isa move inthe right direction. Life is held at too little value in all parts of the country, and if we would not admit that our form of govern- ment is a falure, and is wanting in- power to enforce the laws and pro- tect life and property, we should see that there is less killing and more hanging. se THE Scuoot Bitu.—The Raleigh News states that in the hurry of the last day of the session of the General Assembly the “act to revise and con- solidate the public school laws,, failed to receive the signature of the Presi- dent of the Senate and the Speaker of the House. In consequence thereof it is not a law. The presiding officers cannot sign a bill except when their respective houses are in session, hence we will knock along for two years more under the old school system. a Though much complaint is made of the corruption among politicians, is it not true that as arule the rep- resentative is a fit exponent, not on- ly of the opinions, but of the moral status of the people who vote for him? The average representative will com- pare favorably with the average cou- stituent. The stream is neither bet- ter nor worse than the fountain.— Nash- ville Advocate. .

This movement would ex- cite only derision and digust, were it not for the foolish ambition of weak fathers and mothers, who suppose they must ape the rich, or their dadghters must lose their standing among ‘society people.’ Hence an amount of money is lavished on the dress of daughters that twenty years ago would have supported the household. Speedily comes financial, pressure—then compromise with creditors or utter bank- tuptey. “But the more injurious effeets of this extravagance of ‘society people’ are on young men. Naturally ambitious .to be among the fon in society, they must main- tain their position at every cost. The pressure of the times compels them to work for salaries varying from five to fifteen doilars per week. In the ‘season’ they must attend the ‘society club,’ the ‘German,’ the party, the ball, the opera, the theatre. If the young man expects to continue in good standing among ‘society people,’ he must escort a yonng lady, providing a hack at five dollars, out of his little salary of ten dollars, to haul her and her immense bale of millinery to and from her place, and another dollar to provide a titket of admission, if it be to concert, opera or theatre. ‘This, with the cost of white kids and extras to adorn his person for the occasion, absorbs the re- mainder of his little salary, and leaves his landlady and washer-woman unpaid. Thea the fear of digrace urges him into every kiud of desperate meaus to get out of his financial difficulties.

Kiddell of this city. is about to supersede, ina great measure, all others. Mr. Liddell has been working on the Engine, improving it, during the past year, and having brought it to a degree of perfection which would insure it a rapid sale, he associa- ted with himself Cap. Jas. F. Johnston of this city, and the two have set about to machines. Several mavufacturers of ma- chivery have visited the city for the pur- pose-of secing itin operation, and all pronounce it a decided success, its chief merit being its cheapaess because of the wonderful power of which asmall En- gine is capable. Several weeks ago Mr. Liddell started North to exbibit the En- gine to the larger Iron works in that locality with a view to propositions for manufactaring it. Letters from him to his partaer, Capt. Johnston, in this city show that at every place he visited liber-: al offers were made him. He has suceeéded in waking a satisfactory arrangement with Mr. N. B. Cushing, in Jersey City, who is the sole preprictor of a mammoth machine establishment. The arrangement with this gentleman is that he shall have exclusive sale of their Engines all North of the Virginia line and from the Atlan- tic to the Pacifie Ocean, also in Europe South America, and Mexico, and they (Lid- dell & Johnston) have reserved for them- selves the Southern States. Their head- quarters will bein Charlotte, N. C., where they will have a full supply of all sizes of Mr. Liddell was ‘the founder, and for many years the owner of the Erie City Iron Works.

Ob. —__—.»-—___ Pea Vines ASA FERTILIZER.—Our great reliance for restoring and increasing the fer- tility of the soil must be in the growing of renovating crops, with special reference to that object. For this purpose the com- mon cow-pea is most convenient and best adapted to the purpose. Several corres- pondents testify to the most satisfactory re- sults from turning under luxuriant crops of pea-vines. Of the speckled pea and otber early varieties, two crops may be grown in one season. Itis claimed by high authori- ty that it is not necessary to turn under the vines, but after the crop of~ripe peas is gathered, the vines may be allowed, to die and decay on the surface, with equal ad- vantage as if plowed under; thus avoiding the injury to the soil which results fromex- posing it by plowing, to the heat of sum- mer.

St. Paul Pioneer Press, George Tarr, an Ilinois detective, was stopping at a St. Paul hotel over night, haying just overhauled two desperate murderers. Tarr dreamed that one of big prisoners had escaped and that he was chasing the fugitive, and awoke to find that he had jamped through the window of his room, taking the sash with htm, and had fallen toa projecting roof séveral feet below. Realizing his strange’ post- tion and dress, Tarr impulsively con® cluded to climb up the side of thé house to his room. Gripping the corner with oue band, and clawing the outside boards with the other, and making a free dse of his toe nails, he actually succeeded in climbing up the wall like a seared’ cat; and entered his reom without awakening any of the people about the hotel. He loosened the nails on bis hands and feet, however, leaving traces of the blood he lost on the side of the building and ‘about his room, which establish his stury'that he really made the wonderful ascent. —_————~-- Bloodshed In Misisstppi.

The people along the route of this pro- posed road have experienced new-born hopes and unexpected pleasure in the contemplation of a railroad through their section. The last Legislature did them a favor by granting the charter, even if the road is never built; for it has pre- sented a new and interesting subject of conversation und aroased slumbering en- ergies to be exerted in fruitful efforts for advancement. It is believed the people would readily consent todo the grading themselves, though they might be unwil- ling to subscribe money or even vote to tax the counties. Jackson Hii, Davidson county, 21 or 22 miles from Thomasville, is in the route of the proposed road, and is likely to become a depot. It is already the ceuter of trade for a large district of country, embracing portions of the coun- ties of Randolph and Montgomery, and is destined, we think, ultimately to become the capital of a new county, taking in all those portions of Montgomery and Ran- dolph situated between the Yadkin and Uwharie rivers. The name of Surratt, made famous by the murder of Mrs, Surratt at Washing- ton, in 1865, beats the Smiths in this neighborhood about two to one. There are no less than eight or ten families ‘| bearing it. i oo HOW IS IT? A good man may be unfortunate, and be so strained that he cannot pay his just debts, This we allow. But how can a Christian man buy goods and use them, and then refuse to pay for them, when he is able todo so, While thus refusing to pay honest men who have fed him and his children, and clothed them, he‘lives in style, and spends more for extra living than would in a few years pay all his debts, We know men who have ample incomes, who by a little self-denial might soon pay all their debts, yet who live in magnificent style, far outshining the men whom they owe, and refuse to save acent to pay their debts. These men may talk in prayer-meeting, and pray aloud, but they can never have any iu- fluence with those who know their habits. Never.—Southern Christian Advocate. The late Ryy. Joun D. SuecK preach- ed a rousing sermon on this subject in Salisbury Lutheran church nearly forty yearsago. He quoted all the seripture in the Bible and Testament going to prove that debt was a solemn responsibility and must be religiously discharged. And as he warmed up on the subject he threw into his closing sentences all the power he could command, and that was no small amount. “Nay, my dear brethren,” said he, ‘I tell you there is no escape from the solemn obligation every man ia under to pay his debts, and I verily believe the man who negligently fails to do so until death snatches him away from earth, will WAKE UP IN HELL!” It was an impressive sermon, and we have no doubt it did maeh good, Preach- ers of the present day ought, and we be- lieve do, occasionally preach on this subject, but parson Sheck’s sermon had the best sticking qualities of any we ever heard. —— ee The Washington Post has trustworthy information that Hayes will ‘protect the purity of elections” as long as he holds Mr.~Tilden’s place.

Now this bad man is a great boast- er of his religion; he has claimed many a time that he was like Joshua of old, “as fur him and his house they will serve the Lord, let others do as they may.” Heav- en save the man, for I have never heard of Joshua forbidding the burial of a little infant; or have we ever heard from the word of God that Joshua had a_ pair ot steelyards that was condemed by the laws of his couuty and sold to his neighbors by them.

Liberty church, on the Stokes road, is about ten miles from Salisbury, and has au new grave yard; but we are scarcely prepared to believe the above outrageous story—that any good man of Morgan would indulge in or allow such a per- formance.

The farmers along the Yadkin, especially in Montgomery, have either planted, or are now planting their corn. Vegetation is also more advanced in that section. But forwardness in farm work is general throughout this part of the State, and it is a gratifying fact that farms—lands, fences and farm-houses—have never seem- ed to be in better condition or more indi- cative of industry and thrift. ———_—oj—_—_ Tur Mixinc Interest AROUND SALIS- BURY. —It is rumored that the Yadkin Mining property is to change hands, aud that there will be erected on the premises, a large mill for working the sulphur ores This is one of the fin- est veins in the State, and the improve- ments going on will make it one of the most valuable pieces of mining property to be found in this whole section. In con- nection with this we would say that W. S.

Mr. Epitor: It has been my lot to be drawn into many heated discussions, and it has always been my wish to conduct them In a courteous and tolerant manner; bat it has also been my invariable rule to leave the selection of weapons and the choice of ground to my opponents. If, therefore, the tone of this article is not as commend- able as it should be, and is more acrid and pungent than charitable, let the blame rest where it belongs. In your last paper, ‘Nimrod, Jr.,” pub- lished an ‘“‘eftusion” as a reply to my ar- ticle of the previous week on the Tem- perance Question. I say a reply—I mean to say, such it seems to be, or was inten- ded to be. Yet there is pot an argument, nota refutation, not an idea, not a thought, that rises to the dignity of the most com- monplace billingsgate, to say nothing of ifs transcendent stupidity as a weans of promoting the Temperance cause. I am exceedingly sorry that any one assuming to be able to lead the people in a great moral reform should attempt to palm off such miserable gush asa rebutter. It is a sad sight to see a chief of the clans, on whose shoulders (?) rests, iv no small de- gree, the destiny of men’s souls, the good order and stability of society, and the preservation and care of thousands of in- nocent youth, so far forget the potency of this argument of ‘Temperance, and so be- tray the dignity of his high (assumed) | spit upon while time lasts. station as to fall into a contest of jest and jibes, cunt and low flung pe ity, In my previous aiticle I merely asked foracalm and intelligent discussion of the Temperance Question, net only that I might be enlightened, bat that others should also, and proceeded to give my opinions--always conceding the right of others to theirs. And how have | been responded to? It can not be pretended that my article has beev answered at all, or that my respectful request has been heeded by the Temperance people. ““Nim- rod’s” hunting story is no answer. Like Dead Sea fruit it fades and withers the more you handle it. It is as stale as the bread buried beneath the ruins of Her- culapeum—it is dull to blautness—it is flatter than the govse’s foot ;—as an argu- ment in favor of Temperance, it is an in- sult to intelligence and common sense. There are poor old ignorant negroes who can tell a better hunting story, and make a better application of it. But you have, no doubt, seen pragmatic individuals who ostentatiously ensconce themselves in the slimy nest of a moth and foolishly imag- ine they are the centre of the silk worm’s cocoon ; and these are the golts who en- ter where angels fear to tread. So mach for the story put forth by the boss at the erection of the pons asinorum. Now for its application—the grand peroration. * * * * * * Because your correspondent enumera- ted a number of crimes which he regarded as outweighing in enormity that of wWwhis- ky drinking, he is charged with personal familiarity with all the immoral and vi- cious clements of suciety. Pharisaical- like! Tam better than thou! and is this the argument in favor of Temperance ? As well charge the pure, out-spoken, and fearless minister who, in his sermous, enumerates and denounces crime, with immorality. My article is referred to as a “commingled mess.” Any ass may sing a medley, but it requires brains to write one. Progress is charged with black mail- ing all the elements of society to screen himself, or the whisky traftic. Evil to him who evil thinks—set a thief to eatch athiet, willapply here. And doves the story teller really know the meaning of the word blackmailing?) Surely he does not, or he would pot have applied it as he did. If he does, bis language is in the highest degree worthy of the crusader. He thus, uuwittingly lets out the animus of his clan, and brands it with a spirit of | intolerance that would put to shane the incarnate Puritan fiends who comdemn- ed the Marquis of Montrose, for merely doubting the Puritan holiness, to be hang- ed ona gallows thirty feet high, aftep- wards to be quartered, and his limbs nad ed up at the four gates of the four prin- cipal cities of Scotland. Hare is the out- cropplug of the spirit of those who took part in the abominations of New England witehcraft—of those who framed the in- famous Blue Laws, and subjected mothers to penance for kissing their children on the Sabbath. “rhese wretches thought they were doing God service while the lu- bacy Was on them, but poor deluded fan- tics, their memory has been cursed and kicked ever since, and will continue to be After charg- ing me with blackmailing society, this tolerant Temperance reformer, draws him- self up, and with that sanctimonious air aud self-righteous seeming, best imitated by a buzzard just on the eve of disgorg- ing an overdose of putrescent horse, de- clares that my article is too absard and preposterous to need a reply. This is the arguinent ofall ignoramuses. Noue, says this piuk of charity and toleration, but | yellow dogs could be misled by it. Now, | youd citizens, laying the mevits of the | Temperance Question out of sight, is such | we spirit— is ** Nimrod, Jr.,” worthy to lead | Jou in any movement? Are all who think | as Progress thinks, indeed, no better than | yellow dogs? Are there no noble, pure- hearted women and sweet children ex- cept those who join lim in the fanatical ery and Pharisaical whine over whisky drinking?) None? This is the inference. Why, he not only judges others in viola- tion of the plainest teachings of that di- vine Existence whom the Pharisees eru- citied, but he even divines the ‘tmotives” of other men and speaks of them = accor- dingly. : Ishmael will not apply to Progress. It will better apply to Nimrod, Jr.: Itis he whose hand is against every other man: It is he who has clothed himself in the livery of heaven, the better to prosecute unholy crusades: It is he who, under the guise of religion, is trying to coerce men in this age of reason and enlightenment to think as he thinks, act as he acts, and eat and drink whatsoever he may preseribe for them: It is he who is trying to force men to give up their legitim&te business, and jein in the hue and cry against imaginary evils, while real ones are condoned and passed by: It is he who is endeavoring to make men beleive that the highest duty of the Christian is to make open and per- sistent war upon his fellows and force them, through the forms of law, to bow to the will of man instead of tu the gen- ‘tle and kind spirit and teachings of Him who came to annul all force measures and | lead sinners to worthy deeds and to heav- (en through love and charity. But, as has | been said by a most eloquent writer; it is | bot pure religion—that blissful harbinger of hope and dove of heaven—that aims at dominion and to unite the congress to the | conference, and the crosicr to the crown. No; itis political hypocrisy that hath no hope; it is restless, ruthless bigotry that knows no blush. Pure religion never in- stituted the Inquisition, never sanctioned the murdering of the martyrs, or intro- duced the fagot and the fire. No, she never sighed for a union of the Church and State. These crimes have been com- mitted by those who looked with anxious eyes upon the glittering grandeur of a throne, aud bowed down before the shrine of superstition and bigotry. Now, Mr. Editor, Lam done with “Nim- rod, Jv.,” until he shall again see proper to display hisgift of gab and expose his ignorance. But he wants a picture. Well, in the above I have drawn the doukey: Let him substitute a common horse collar for the frame, and he will have a picture that will suit him to a t. Before closing this communication. I desire again to express the wish that the nore intelligent advocates of the Temper- ance Question wi!] jive out their views in a calm and dispassionate discussion of its merits and its relation to. religion. There are thinking people all over the land, aggregating a large majority of the citi- zens, Who want information. They are ata loss to understand why a distinetion should be made in singling out the great evils of the day—whyy the least should be hounded down and the greatest condoved or ignored. It is incomprehensible to them that, in this age of reason and en- lighted civilization,—a civilization depen- ; dent entirely upon the Christian religion, - —there should be a more potent force em- ployed to overcome evil than that which gives this same religion promiuence and power among men, the spirit and teach- ings of the Prince of peace. They do not desire to screen the evil of intemperance, much Jess the other great evils; but they think the proper way to overconte evil is with good. Not by an attempt to coerce | men, but to lead and direct them in that; + spirit of Him who demanded that the gos- pel should be preached to { ‘Phat the Christian reli i overcome all evil, and and efficatious for this purpose, than any measures or laws of human devising, is evinced in-the fact that. it has withstood the carpings of the iutidel, the paltry at- tempts of tyrants, gained in strength and. made converts daily, as it has descended the tide of time to us the same imperish- able and glorious gift as when first pro- mulgated to the world. Confucius, the Chinese philosopher, enunciated, over two thousand years ago, this silver rule: “Do not unto others what you would not have them de to yan.” Jesus, the Son of God, about five hundred years after Confucius, proclaiined this golden rule: ‘‘Therefore, all things what- soever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even soto them.” The first commands you to inflict ne injary upgn your neighbor, and the last more compre- hensive than the first, commands that you shall not only do your neighbor no harm, but that you shall do him good, even to the extent that you would have good done to you. Whata glorious world we would have, if nen would adopt either of the above as their ruleof action. The schemes of Ligots,the tyrrany of fanatics,the intoler- ance of fools would cease, aud peace and good will to men would indeed prevail. ‘There would be uo more scuftling for the mastery a8 man over man. Pharisaism would die, and even the evil of whisky drinking would “grow small by degrees and beautifully less.” Never again woald acrazy priest incite the world to wild crusades, involving perhaps a greater loss of life and more haman suttering than all the physical epidemics that have afflicted mankind. Never again would witchcraft be agitated asan eviland vile laws be fram- ed and besotted fools be selected to stran- gle it. And yet all these glorious things may come under the benign influence of the New Testament Scriptures, but in no other way. PROGREss. world; is sufficient to ——— 2ee- For the Watchman.

The friends of sobriety and good order, having, ia considerable numbers, deter- mined to test the wishes of the people by procuring a vote under the Leeal option law,” a weiter in the Watchinan of the 13th iust., under the signature of *Prog- ress” has seen fit to take the field in op- position to this movement.

But | tie subject is a matter of grave import- | ance, and the writer feels that afew tacts, | figures and sober arguincnts are due to the | subject. | And first of ail, as a lover of trath and | fairness, the writer must protest agaiast | the attempt of “Progress” to prejadice the cause of prohibition by blackening | the character of its advocates. ‘This is a rise too transparent to impose upon any | serious and sober thinker. Grant, if you will, that the prohibitionists of Salisbury are “loud praying, verbose, neighborhood busy bodies,” wie patronize the back-doors of liquor saloons ; and that temperance people are fauaties, and, many times, “the worst portion of the coumunity,” and what has been gained in the argument?) Grant, if please, that the lignor sellers are the very salt of this community, the loveliest, sweetest, fairest specimens of society, and you do not af- fect the question in the least. It is con- | ceivable that the good liquor-dealers may be mistaken as to the excellence of their occupation, and these hypocritical and | loud praying church members may be right | afterall their verbosity and) sham phi- lanthrophy ! Facts and priuciples are not really affeeted by the character of their friends and advocates. The malti- plication table remains true and unchang- ed, whether it is used ‘by the robber, to count up the number of his murders and the amount of his illtgotten treasure, or by the sister of charity to estimate the sorrows that have been soothed, or the tears wiped away by her gentle ministra- tions. Itis to be hoped, therefore, that imputations upon character and motives, and all persenalities will be left out in the proposed discussion of this serious question. Such aspersions can do no} good, but may dv much evil, and the man Who uses them may find himself ‘hoist | with his own petard,” . The first question to be settled is, whether the liceused sale and use of: liqdors is really an evil in this commani- | ty. And here let Progress” himself step | upon the witness stand. | | | | He is forced to | admit that “whiskey drinking is an evil, | a fungus growing on disordered society | and the twin-brother of infidelity.” Here is a heavy charge from the mouth of its} advocate. But how great an evil is it?) How can you estimate the evil? One} Way to estimate the evil is by the general | observation of intelligent men, especially as to tre influence of liquor-drinking on erime. And here promivent gentlemen, in general terms assent, that whiskey- drinking is the cause of three-fourths of | all the criminal suits in our eourts of law, | and of even a greater proportion of homi- | cides. ‘These are general conclusions de rived from extended experience in our courts, and are presumed to be substau- tially true. But every intelligent citizen knows that within the las¢ two years, single homicide, that took its origin from the use of whisiy, cost the county of Rowan tteo thousand dollars! But we have definite stafistics. The Raleigh News, a short time since, taking the Re- port of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, asa basis, has computed that “Not less than six millions of dollars are spent in bar-rooms in North Carolina ina year.” A recent New York paper, com- paring the cotton crop of North Carolina with its liquor bill, says, ‘All the cotton grown iv North Carolina will not pay her liquor bill, Which amounts to $38,500,900 ayear, by more than a million.” The sources from which this writer drew his figures are not known, bat they are pre- sumed to be covrect. But take the lower estimate of six millions, and you will have an average of six dollars apiece for each man, woman and child in North Carolina. Taking three thousand as the population of Salisbury and our average will be found to be ‘eighteen dollars per annum, as the expenditure of our people for intoxicating drinks, pro- vided we are only on an average. Rowan county has a population, in round nuimn- bers of (17,000) seyentecn thousand. This will make an expenditare of $102,000 an- nually in this county for spirituous liquors. This is more than seven per cent. on the valuation of all the farms of the county according to the census of 13870! Just think of vur county paying more than seven per cent. tax on the value of our farms, and the wonder at our poverty will cease. Aud yet men have the face to say that whiskey-drinking isa small evil, in comparison with others, when even ov a mere financial view, such an enormous waste is evident. But even this does not give the full loss. If you will count in all the time and the talents “ more powerful: me thousand | through this evil, monster vice. A even Seer leaves out of view, as incapable of being estimated , the moral and social evil of the traffic, all the tears of sorrowing wives and mothers, and all the shame and anguish of ‘suffering chil- dren, And is it Hot enough te bring the to the cheek of the advo- cates of bar-room, when they remem- ber that)not less than four white men n untimely grave in this town last year, direetly through intoxicatin drink, aud that_probably others mle their end more expeditio throagh the same means? ‘Taking it allin all, there can be no doubt in a reasouhble mind, that liqaor dealing and drinking are the giant evils of the day, and that all the skill and influence of philanthropists should be employed to mitigate the evil. Just here a difficulty is insinvaated, rather than urged by “Progress.” It is, that all restraint upon people, in the in- dalgeuce of their tastes and appetites is arbitrary, and despotic. Divested of all ambiguity, “Progress” téaches that every nan has the right to gratify himself as he pleases, however much society may be injured by his unbounded _ license. “Progress” is of course too wise to state this proposition in such open terms, for he kuows, as well as any one, that, iu a state of society men have given up all such natural rights as are injurious to the good of the whole. If there were nuuve but liquor makers, liquor sellers and liquor drinkers concerned, they might be allowed to work out their own mataal destruction with greedy haste. But un- fortunately the rights of many others are concerned. If the liquor traffie is inju- rious to the health, wealth, morals and happiness of the community, a man has nv more right to open a bar-room to the injury of his neighbors, than he would have to establish a powder-magazine in MeNecly’s Hall, or manufacture nitro- glycerine in the cellar of Kluttz’s Drug Store. The man who enters civilized so- clety must consent to abandon all prac- tices that are injurious to the welfare of the majority. Itis the savage, roaming over the wilderness, and uot the civilized man in society that can claim aud exer- cise the prerogative of following after wh&tever “his iuclinations and tastes may seek out as a means of enjoyment.” _In this case no one claims the right to dictate what his neighbor shall, or shall not drink. Itis only the “traffic” that pryhibatory laws claim to control. The design is simply to put down the trade and close up the saloons that stand open night and day to tempt the unwary, and lead the enthralled victim on to destrue- eion. ‘This society has a right to do, and is morally bound to do. He who toler- ates an evil that is sapping the founda- tions of society, aud opening the flood- gates of immorality, when he could re- move that evil, is responsible for that evil. It is nota matter of indifference whether we'will allow our fellow men to go to ruin, When by lending a helping hand we may move from their way the temptation that they feel unable to resist, And it is a striking fact that a number of our unfortunate fellow citizens who have been thé victims of this social evil, have been among the first to sign the pe- tition for the privilege of voting out of their way au enemy that they feel un- able to face and conquor. It remains to be seen whether the sober men of this towushio, who are in the majority, and who are not) personally in danger, will allow their endongered and suttering fellow citizens to call in vain for relief from the temptation. «= “More Anon.” 2 SESS + RS 2 SS ‘BUSINESS LOCAL COLUMN.

PROFITABLE INVESTMENT. Mr. Editor: The want of enterprise in tle Southern people is proverbial, and, perhaps, none are more backward in leaving the old beaten paths of ‘the fathers,” than the natiye North Caro- linians. There is some cause for this proverbial conservatism in our people. What isit? It is vot for the want of energy, cutirely—uor a lack of good hard sense, that they have so steadtastly re- fused to enter into new channels of trades, or pew manufacturing enterprises. They remember, no doubt, many Jamentable failures that occurred with some of those who embarked in “new tentures”—such as manufacturing of cotton and other textiles in ante bellum days. Being now much reduced financially, they must be well convinced that the investment “will pay” before they will risk their limited means. Of all the enterprises that lave been introduced among our people by our “Northern brethren,” since we surrender- ed the “Lost Cause” at 9 Appomatox Court-House and “accepted the situation” in good faith, there is vone, that now oc- The man who expects to make mon- ey by keeping sheep, while he lets them wander about without seeing them more than once a month, per- haps not as often, will bea disap- pointed individual, just as two and two Sheep pay enor- mous profits, but they must receive make four. the same attention which are always bestowed upon all other highly re- maunerative enterprises.— Ez. aoe New Facrs Asour Mitk.—lIt has been found by chemical analy- sis that the evening’s milk is’ richer Prof. Boedeker has analyzed the milk ofa healthy cow at different periods of the day und fuund that the solids of the even- in’s milk (18 per cent.) excceded those of the mcring, (10 per cent.,) while the waters contained in the fluid was deminished from 80 per cent. The fatty matter gradually imcreases as the day progresses. In the morning itamounts to 2} per cent., at noon 3} per cent., and in the evening 53 percent.

Now the place contains 11,- 000 inhabitants, numerous hotels, dwellings and handsome _ stores, und is lit with natural gas issuing from a well two miles from the town, which is used also for cooking pur- poses. This gas is exccedingly cheap, aud emanates from a well 850 feet in depth, the supply seeming to be ex- hhaustless in quantity. Since the period above named, (1875) it has been ascertained that vil can be found in every portion of Bradford district which is thirteen miles long, and varying in width from one to five miles, Within that area there are now 38,400 wells, 1,500 of which have been bored within the past year. These wells are from 1,300 to 2,000 feet in depth, and all connected by two-inch piping, usually on the sur- face, which is used to gather the oil and carty it to the immense iron tanks constructed to receive it. From these tanks the fluid is forched through large pipes to the various shipping poiuts on the railroad. These pipes ure owned and mauaged by a separate conpany, Which is a large concern, ryquiring vinety thousand dollars per meuuth to deiray the cost of labor, curs to me, Which requires less capital to engage in largely—nor any that pays better dividends on the capital iuvested— than The “Guano business,” or in other words, manufacturing ‘Commercial Fer- tilizers.” The quantities of “these goods” annually sold to the farmers of our State are simply predigious, and the demand is constantly increasing. If we were to pay annually on the Statedebt the amount now invested in these ‘so called” ‘&Fer- tilizers” the debt would soon be paid off and North Carolina regain her ancient prestige fur honesty and fair dealing. “There are millions in it,” and now is the tine to invest. An analysis of some of ‘these goods” afew years since showed about 98 per cent. of sand and nearly two per cent. of “stink” —which shows how cheaply they ean be manufactured in favorable local- ities, There is no place within the range of my acquaintauce where the ingredients for making a ‘beautiful article” can be obtained at less cost, aud, therefore, leav- ing larger margin for profits, than one a few miles east of our town on the line of the Raleigh & Augusta Air-Line Road— those inexhaustable beds of beautiful clean chocalate colored sand—the color would give the article much the appear- ance of the “genuine Peruvian,” and therefore add much to its selling qual- ities. It wonld require some little grinding or! pulverizing to reduce it to the “Guano Standard”—when the resemblance to the “genuine Peruvian” would be complete. To accomplish this a steam engine would be required, and be using black jack wood, which abounds iu that locality, for fuel for the engine, a sufficient quantity of potash, &c., can be procured, at trifling cost, to enable the manufacturers to put at lest two or three teaspoonfuls to each sack—which would give it superior ‘“fer- tilizing” qualities to some that have sold well. The only ingredient now laking to produce a popular article would be the “stink” which invariably accompanies “these goods”—in fact they would not be merchantable without it. This can easi- ly and abundantly be procared iu a novel bat practicable and economic manner— we could procure cheaply twenty-nine Poleeats (Mustela Putorius)—keep them in a good tight room large enough to hold ull the bags required for one day’s opera- tion—after properly placing the requisite number of bags in the room, stir ap with a forty foot pole—the “Helleats” (as our old friend Peter -Schartle, called the one he caught in the immediate vicinity) and the bags will be thoroughly “Guanized” with “stink” enough to last a whole sea- son. ‘This operation can be repeated in- definitely, and the ‘business” prove a complete success. We shall have to pat- ent or copyright the process to prevent competition “on this line” by those now engaged in the business. It is rather too late now to do anything the preseut sea- son—but the enterprise should be begun immediately to enable the Company to have on hand a large supply ready for the next Fail’s small grain sewing. In order to prosecute the business on a scale that will enable us to supply the demand, it is proposed to raise a joint stock com- company, Which we will have regularly the name of the “Mustela Putorius Gu- ano Company” of all the Carolinas—office and salesroonss at ‘ RockinGuam, N.C. ~<a Those who trample on the helpless are disposed to cringe to the power- ful, eee ee We pablish ig another column a de- scription of Professor Righi’s telephoue, made.and, tried Jast year. at.

The Righi instrument has the special advantage that when onee adjust- ed it continues to operate perfeerly with- out readjustment for an iudetinite period ; this, we believe, cannot as yet be claimed for any of the other telephoues. The peculiarity of the vew instrument is in transmitting the wave. sounds through a diaphragm which rests upon a conducting substance made of a mixture of silver, reduced to an impalpable pow- der, and carbou, also very tinely palver- ized; the above devises being niounted or carried ou the end of a slender string. In principle the Righi telephone is simi- lar to Edison’s carbon telephone, and also to Hhghes’, was based on Edison’s. Tt would from the re- sults obtained by the Righi telephone that if would be practicable for the Wes- tern Union Telegraph Company, or other corporation, to open a room in this city Where the visitor might go, and by pay- ment of a small fee sit and listen to the debates and proceedings of Congress. A wide and unbroken field for other uses of the telephone evidently awaits cultiva- tion by enterprising aud active indi- viduals. ; Professor Gray, we notice, has lately received a patent for a combination of a telephone with the ordinary Morse in- strnment, so that the telegrapher may communicate over the same line both by which seem the Morse signals and also by the voice. By the use of the quadruplex instrument on such a line four messages maf be transmitted by signals ia the usaal man- ner, While conversation may at the same time be carried on over the same wire, all without any interference of the differ ent siguals or systems. Thus there is added to the present telegraph system of the country an additional method of com- munication that promises to be highly promotive of the public convenience. Not ouly may we send the usnal written sig- nals to our friends, but we may also speak with them over the same wire; aud the expert telegrapher, while he writes one set of messages with his hand, may, at the same time, send other messages with his voice.— Scientifie American, + +r Desolation of Babylon. Itis usual for travelers to dwell upon the utter desolation of Babylon and to paint its site as a strip of des- ert, especially woe-begone and un- tertile. But the eloquent gentlemen who dwell upon this aspect of the place could have seen it in the middle of April. dens along the Euphrates are then The date groves and gar- things of beauty in their fresh spring verdure, and the plain itself is laid down with crops. Irrigation canals cross it here and there, and give trou- ble to the horseman. No grass grows upon this, and there are patches of the level white with the nitre, which is to be found here as in other parts of Mesopotamia; but the surface of the soil ison the whole green anid pleasant to the eye. The glad waters of the river flow in the bright morn- ing sunshine, with palm and mulber- ry hanging over its banks drinking in sap and life. The great city which counted its population by millions, and filled the world with a renown not yet forgotten, has disappeared un- der the dust of 29 centuries; but na- ture is as fresh and jocund as when Babylon was still unbuilt. Birds sing overhead in the pleasant spring air; butterflies flutter about in search of flowers; balmy odors regale the sense. It-is difficult under the cir- cumstances to feel as one perhaps ought to feel forthe great capital which once cumbered this ground. Nature does not mourn for it, and it is hard to be sad at the bidding of sentiment when the bright spring hides its grave.—Geary, in T'hrough Asiatic Turkey. An English writer says, in his ad- vice to young married women, that their mother Eve married a gardener. It might be added that’ the gardener, in consequence of his match, lost his situation.

People aro getting acquainted—and those whe are not ought to be—with the wonderful merits of that yreat American Remedy, the MEXICAN Mustang Liniment, FOR MAN AND BEAST. This liniment very naturally originated in Amer ca, where Nature provides in her laboratory such surprising antidotes for the maladies of her chil dren. Its fame has been spreading for 3 years, until now it cucircles the habitable globe, Tho Mc ‘ang Liniment is a matchless remedy forsllexternalailments of man and beast. To stock owners and farmers it iz invaluable. Asingle bottle often saves a human life or re stores tho usefulness of an excellent horse, ox, cow, orshecn. It curcs foot-rot, hoof-ail, hollow horn, grub, screw-Wworm, shoulder-rot, mange, the bites and stings of poisonous reptiles and insects, and every such drawback to stock breeding and bush life. It curcs every exierncl trouble of horses, sueh as lameness, scratches, swinny, sprains, founder, wind-gall, ring-bone, etc., ctc. The Mexican 3Iustang Liniment is the quickest cure in the world for accidents occurring in the family, in the absence of a physician, such as burns, scalds, sprains, cuts, etc., 2nd for rheuma- tism, and stiffness cngendered by exposure. Par- ticularly valuadiec to Miners. It is the cheapest remedy in the world, for it penetrates the muscle to the bone, and a single wplication is gencrally sufficient to cure.

It was highly classical and very el- ant in shape; but the light it gave as so utterly dismal that all the cow- pany uttered a funny little groan and handsome old gentleman, who sat pext to me, said : “Well, after that specimen of old Roman brilliancy.

Ipshould evolve or unfurl the tradi- tional ‘shroud’ in the light, and be otherwise disagreeable; but this one, I am afraid, will be far more re- spectable and well behaved than the tallow candles of our ancestors.” Here he lit the candle, and another dismal groan saluted the forlorn yel- low light.

KNoxvILLe, Tenn., Dec. 31, 1878. In the month of July, 1878, I spent several weeks at the Cloudland Hote! on Roan Mountain, Western North Carolina, which is 6,387. feet above the sea level. the Roan Mountain range is a kind ‘lof rough table-land about 2,000 feet lower than the summit of that moun- tain. | gf -lelevation and there ceasing. luxuriant growth of grass. I give this description as preliminary to what I intend to relate. The hotel is ona plateau near a glen, betweca two peaks somewhat higher than the general top of the mountain. Several of the cat- tle tenders on the mountain aud also General Wilder had spoken to us about what they ealled “mountain mu- sic.’ One evening they said it was sounding loud, and Dr. D. T. Boyn- ton, of Knoxville, Hon. J. M. Thorn- burg, and myself, accompanied Gen- eral Wilder to the glen to hear it.— I electricity the light that will like the. On the eastern side of On the west the mountain de- scends into the Kast Tennessee Val- ley, which may be said to be about 4,000 feet lower than the same point. The land on the top of the Roan is singularly free from tree growth, the Canada balsam coming to a certain The somewhat level top is covered with a ne F ek ; and was riot at all, as described, like | the hamming of thousands ‘of bees, but like the incessant, eontinuous,and- combined snap of two Leyden jars positively and negatively charged... I tried to account for it on the theory of bees or flies, but the mountain -peo- ple said it frequently occurred after the bees and flies had gone to their winter homes, or before they came out, It was always loudest and most pro- longed just before there would be a thunder-storm in either valley, or one: passing over the mountain. I used every argument 1 could to persuade’ myself that it was simply the result ofsome common cause, and to shake the faith of the cuntitty peuple in its mysterious origin; bat I only con-! vinced myself that it was the result from two currents of air meeting cach other im the suck between the two peaks, where there was no obstruction of trees, obe Containing a yreater, the other a iess amount of electricity, or tuut tbe two currents coaling tugetoer in the open plateau oa the high cleva- tion, by their friction, and being of different temperature, gencrated elec- | tricity. The “mountain music” was_ simply the snapping “caused ‘by this | friction and this generation of elee- tricity, Many have noticed the pecu- liar snapping ham to be observed in wreat auroral displays, particularly those eof September, 1859, and Feb- ruary, 1872. As the amount of electricity in the air-currents became equalized or sur- charged, they, descending to either side, caused the thunder-storms usual every day in the valleys near the mountain, and sometitues immediate- ly on the edge of the timber surroun- ding the great bald top.

The. heated air of the valley rises fronyvine in tlie warning until three or four in the afternoon, | making a slight easterty wind wp-and over the Roan Mountain, As ovight ; comes on the current turns back to the valley, almost invariably produc- ing a very brisk gale by three or four v’elock in the morning, which, in its turn, dies down to a calm by seven, and commences to reverse by nine o'clock. This continual change of the currents of air makes it an impos- sibility for any great malarial scourge to exist in the East Tennessee Valley, especially its northeastern end. The Roan Mountain is one of the curiosities of nature. It is a part of the great range formed of metaphoric rocks which border on the true siluri- an formation from the Canadas to Al- abama; though not sohigh as the Black Mountains, in the same county, it and many others of the same range pre- sent a peculiarity not known to those higher peaks of the eastern range. This péculiarity is the vast tracts of land entirely devoid of trees and most- ly°covered with a luxuriant grass, much loved by cattle.

It is expected that mistakes will be wade by legislators, because it is impossible that human actious can be pniforply faultless. Mr. Orchard, the representative of Ca- barrus, is more respousible in the prem- ives than any one other member of the Legislature. His purpose, as we hare been informed, was a good one, and he rxceeded it probably from a lack of more rfest kuowledge of railroad subjects. Teacat: there are few men whose lite- basiness has been disconuected with railroads and their systems of freight, &e., who know much about them. In the present case, Mr. Orchard designed to have the law so amended as to establish @ unifurm system of freight charges, by which We lean, equitable rates for all shippers, both as to distance and charges.

The Democrats in Congress demand the repeal of 1, The law authorizing two supervis- ors of election, oné belonging to each party, to be appointed by the Federal court for each voting-place. 2. The law authorizing the marshals to appoint an unlimited number of deputy marshals, all of Whom may be of one par- ty, to sustain and stpport the supervisors in their efforts to secure a frir (!) elee- tion. 3. The law authorizing the district at- torneys and other persons to require grand and petty jurorsin the Federal courts to take the irou-clad oath. 4. The law authorizing the President to station troops at the polls to preserve the peace when elections for Congressmen are going on. The fate of these measures still hangs fire, and what the President will doabout them is still unknown. Upon this point the Washington correspondent of the New York Times telegraphs that paper as fol- lows: ; For the past two or three days it has been currently rumored in certain cir- cles here that a so-called compromise had been entered into between the executive and legislative branches of the govern- ment, by the terms of which the Presi- dent would sign the appropriation bills in the form in which the Democrats have agreed to pass them. In other words, that the Republican administration was ready to surrender everything for which the Republican party has been contend- ing, except the supervisors of election, who, under she enactments proposed by the Democrats, would be practically powerless to prevent fraud. A number of official and personal friends of the President, who are’ believed to be ina position to know of what they speak, deny these stories and say that the President has entered into no compromise with the Democrats. It is not denied, however, that Secretary Evarts favors some adjust- ment, even at the cost of a partial sur- render on the Republican side, which might secure a settlement of the pend- ing difficulty betweeen the two branches of the government and bring about an carly adjournment of Congress. As further information (reliable or un- reliable) upon the point at issue, we quote the following from the Washington Le- Gen. Garfield’s visit to him [the Presi- dent] was occasioned by a proper anx- iety, in view of his position as the ac- knowledged Republican Jeader in the House, tu understand exactly what his fellow-partisans in that body might ex- pect from the administration in the pend- Ing emergency, wherein it is acknowledg- ed the most vital interest of that party are at stake. It is sufficient to add that he came away from the President convinced that a reasonable prospect exists of har- mouious coucert of action between him and the Republicans in Cougress in op- position to the general line of repeal policy proposed by the Bourbons.

Cannot the whole county be thus thoroughly can- vassed ? The people, when tested, seem to be heartily in favor of this movement. Drinking men are willing to have the temptation put out of the way. One gen- tlemen who opposed incorporating the eburches, i. e., to remove the traffic only two miles, says he will go for removing it out of the county.

Statesville, both in the churches and out of them, are wout to say that the im- provement is so great that a “blind man can see it.” As the law does not probib- it drinking liquor, or giving it away, or importing it, of course those who are very anxious for it can get it; aud those who choose can give it away. ‘The greatest benetit claimed for prohi- bition in some of these towns is that it re- noves Open temptation out of the way, makes it so difficult to get, that few will undergo the trouble and expense; and all, is abolished. Many a good fellow, who had no very strong desire for drink, and who did not wish to go home to his family drunk, often found himself unable to refuse a friendly invitation to take ‘just one glass” before starting home. The banishment of liquor will save that man, and send him home sober to his wife aud children. But there will be dodges and evasions, 8ilyYS Some Opponent. So there will. “Liberal” merchants may stock their cel- lars with barrels of whiskey to giveaway, and even a new drug store may be open- ed, and a “liberal-souled” doctor may be imported who will prescribe whiskey freely and frequently for all “the ills flesh is heir to.” But the “liberal” mer- chant will be apt to tind out that it won’t pay to gather all the eld topers of the county around his store, and drive off the sober men, who generally shave the most money ; and the new “druggist” and his co-adjutor, the “liberal dector,” may come to grief for evading the law.

And such, itis to be feared, will be the fate of our fair city, as one by one we neighboring towns and counties are adopting temperance principles.

But if That the influence’ Many of the best citizens of the social feature, the most dangerous of drinkers may be reclaimed, for sofie of them would rejoice to break the cords of sweringa single poiut or position taken in it. : The fact is, all of “More Anon’s” arti- ele, which is oe op mere assump- tion, is simply a re of the wornout ar- guments of the temperauce lectiirers who have paraded themselves before blie for the last fifty years. He saya whisky drinking is au evil and he quotes Prog- ress as evidence ; but he negleets to tell hie readers that there are greater evils than this. No! he would have you be- lieve that whisky drinking is the great evil of the age; and here is his evidence ; He says that “prominent gentlemen in gen- eral terms assert, that whisky is the cause of three-fourths of all the crimiual suits in our courts of law, and of even a greater proportion of homicides.” This is mere as- sertion, and every one who has carefally examined the question and the statistics bearing on it knows that there is scarcely an element of tfuth io it. [challenge him to show that-one-seveuth of the criminal suits, or of the homicides, is caused by whisky drinking. ‘Take the cord of the courts—from the magistrate’s court up, aud he will tind that net one-tenth, and L venture to say, not one-twentieth of the criminal prosecutions of the day is in any way chargeable to whisky drinking. Let him take the record of the courts of Row- an, and he will see how utterly fabulous his statement is. Within the recollection of the writer, running over a period of nearly twenty-five yéars, there have been about twenty homicides or killings in Rowan county, and but three of these had any connection with whisky drinking whatever, or could by any possibility be chargeable thereto. And furthermore, it iseven doubtful whether these three ex- ceptions were caused by ic. It is well known that in one case an old grudge ex- isted, and it is stated that when the fatal mecting took place, the parties were drinking, but does this tix the crime upon / Whisky? “Who will undertake to say it idoest In the other case, referred to by More Anon, there was a dranken fistieutf going on, when the party who did the fa- tal stabbing entered upon the scene, but there is no evidence that he was drank or drinking. If he had been, I think it not at all improbable that the deed would uot have been perpetrated. For it is a faet, that there is less damage done in drunken brawls or fights than sober ones; and they are more easily repaired. Within the same period, there have been perhaps )a half dozen or more attempts at murder, | It is pfobable that three-fourths of the | and three-fourths of them, [ know, had | ho copnection with whisky diinking, and }L have never heard that the others did. Now, is Rowan a better county than oth- ers, or is it an average county in point of crime? Ita better county, then the tem- perauce howlers should migrate. If an should put to blush their reckless asser- tions. Any magistrate will tell you that he has ten bastardy cases to one arising trom whisky drinking; and as I stated in a previous article, this crime of lust, of libertinism, is the greatest crime of our time. But More Anon has “struck ile.” He has found out from the Raleigh Neres “that not less than six millions ot dollars are spent in North Caroliua bar-roome in a year.” ‘This is also mere assertion, with- out a particle of evidence to justify it, and Tam inclined to think is worth about as much as that most ridiculous ove made about the nninbver of crimival prosecutions and homicides. But take it’ for granted that itis true, what does it prove? Don’t it prove that all the bellowing, psalin-sing- ing, and loud praying of the temperance howlers, assisted by weak legislatures, with which the people have been cursed in North Carolina these many years, have most signally failed to stop or lesson the evils of whisky diinking? Yea, instead creased almost ten-fold, if his figures are correct, Ih as many years. ‘The cause of their failure is patent; but there are none says More vnou, a New York paper states that ‘All the cotton grown in North Car- olina will not pay her liquor bill, which amounts to $3,500,960, a year by more than a million.” This statement is pub- lished with the same unsupported eftront- ery as those above; and worse, it does not tally —does not agree, with that he has average county, then its record of crime | of stupping or decreasing it, it las ip- | so blind as those who will uot see.

They were inordinate tubacco chewers, smokers, ep- icurians, dissipated-sta rers-out-at-night ; who knows that they did not contract the discase that caused their death by the in- dulgence of their passions in some of these evils? ‘Tobacco using is almost ae great an evil as whisky driuking ; and there are $2 expended for it in Salisbury for one there is for wishky. It slays its bundreds and thousands annually, if the published opinions of learned men are to be believed. 1 will give a few extracts as compiled by a most eminent physician of New York: Dr. Rush says, that even in moderation, tobacco causes dyspepsia, beadache, tremors, vertigo, and epilepsy. Bishop Ames, of the M. E. Church, ex- pressed to the New England Conference, some years ago, his opinion that a large portion of the funds fur superannuated preachers is paid to men mentally and physically disqualified by the use of to- bacco. Dr. Woodward presents a long array of facts to show-the tendency of to- bacco to produce apoplexy, aphony, hyp- ochondria, consumption, epilepsy, head- ache, tremors, vertigo, dyspepsia, cancer, and insanity. The New York Home Jour- nal says that one of the members of the Freuch Academy of Medicine, in a very elaborate paper, drawn up with great care, asserts that statistics show that in exact proportion with the increased con- sumption of tobacco is the increase of dis- tase in the nervous centres (insanity, gev- eral paralysis, paraplegia), and certain cancerous affections. The German phy- sicians state in their periodicals, that of the deaths occurring among men iv that cougtry, between eighteen and thirty-five years of uge, one-half die from the effects |of smoking. They uneqivocally assert, that tobacco burns out the blood, the teeth, the eyes, and the brain. I could give a great many more extracts, but these are suflicient to show that every body don’t die from whisky drinking. The certain- ty of lust and gluttony to bring on disease and death no one will question. Then, When aman indulges in all these evils, Who is prepared to say which will be the direct cause of his death. More Anon says he is after the traffic, and that no one claims the right to die- tate what bis neighbor shall, or-shall not drink. Why then complain about the amount of money expended for liquor? lias aman vot the right to expend his money for what he pleases? ‘This isa very Dice question, and if my article was not already so long, | would endeavor to satisfy More Anon that others besides the “savage” are endowed with certaiir inali- enable rights that may be exercised in de- fiance of all institutions, if they stand in the way of liberty, moral good, purity and truth. A Christian has no right to ge outside of his religion to foree any meas- ure upon his neighbor; neither is “he re- ; Sspousible for any evil” growing out of the pacts of his neighbor, after he has warned | tiim and set before him the way of good jand evil: He may then kick the dust fiom his feet and leave him joined to his idols. |The soul that sinueth, it shall die.” Now, who will say that the so-called Tem- perance movement, as conducted in these days, has a particle of Christianity in it? Who will deny that it is pure and simple 'fanaticisin, as greatly ta be feared and ever afflicted society ? Itis identically the same illusion and moral disease that>cul- minated in the wild religious crusade of the middle ages, and tiat cursed the world and blurred history with the crimes of Puritanism and witehcraft at a later day. “The design is simply to put down the ee ee ies : ; THAT FOX'S OPINION A FABLE. - evening of the coon hunt, before Trail appeared on the scene, that fox indulged rather freely in his opinions of suciety in : ~ general (see Progress’ first article); but when be found Trail at his heels he re- garded him as the concentrated easence of bis own distorted fancies ; and, indeed, in his relation to Trail, as the pursued party he found it necessary toe turn his attention to him. Foxes are shrewd, and his plan was soon formed and executed, viz: to throw Trail off his track by offer- ing tempting inducements to him te fol- low some other animal. And, (1) [doubt not he was greatly amused at his own stratagem, and smiled to think hew svon he would leave Trail on the track of some innocent hare er sheep, while himeelf would be at liberty to tind his supper in some neighboring barnyard. But, (2) Later io the night when be had exhaust- ed every resource of his cunning to de- ceive Trail withont success, and finding himself tired, hungry and disappoiuted, with that pertinacions hound still pressing on his rear, he got ‘sorry ;” he let fall some crocodile tears, avd in foxy style soliloquised thus (see Progress’ second article): “I am exceedingly sorry that any hound ‘assuming to be able to lead’ other dogs ‘should attempt to palin off such miserable gush— * * It is a sad sight to see a chief of the’ hounds descend to this ‘low flung personality.’ What does he want to chase me for?

It cannot be pre- tended that I have been answered at all, or that my respectful (7) request has been heeded by’ any in this race (except that yellow dog, bless him and give him arabbit). My pleading has been in vain. It is sad, so sad to think of.” Then, (3) That fox get cantankerous and raved thus: What horrid noise !— this hound—music is old and “stale as the bread buried beneath the ruins of Herculaneum—it is dull to blantness—it is flatter than a goose's foot.” [Very nat- ural for a for to have goose in his mind.] “There are poor old iguoraut negroes who can” sing better than that. In the exer- cisc of my magnificent brains I have com- posed a grand “medley” of the simble feet and tinkling bells of all the beasts “Whose faint footfalls tinkle on the tufted floor” of field and forest, and this dog has gat it to the key note of an “ass.” And because Thave reused all these animals Iam “eharged with persénal familiarity with all the immoral and vicious elements of society.

And here I am “charged” with levying “blackmail” because I have tried to force these hares, sheep, &c., to yield their tenderer flesh to these hangry hounds as a ransom for myself. And has’ut a fox the right todo that? Far from recog- nizing this inalienable right of foxes, this Trail is still following me with a vin “in the highest degree worthy of the erusa- der. He thus unwittingly lets out the an- imus of his clan, and brands it with the spirit of intolerance that would put to shame the incarnate Puritan fiends” (&c., &c., and so on, ete.,ad nauseam). (Again) And what an “Ishmael” this Trail is! It may be egotistical, but, to myself at least, Tam everything; and he certainly is against me—ererything!!

If this legalized demon, had never entered the sacred desk and snatched therefrom many of the brightest lights and of the highest order, then neither the real or “so called Christians” (as such) have the right to interfere ia this option law question. If the Chris- tian and home altars had never bees robbed of their tender loved ones ; if the learned professions had lost no bright stars, the business world: no workers, or sucicty no jewels by the traffic in stron, drink, then the so called aegduscntaat Progress would pot be sophistry, but the temperance people would really be fanat- ics. In the estimation of this self- righteous, pharisaical writer, all temper- ance men are idolaters and worniive golden calf of their own making—“disre- garding the requirements of the law ae incorporated iu the commandments and trampling upon the spirit und teachings of the’ Saviour of the world.” When Aaron and his sons were set apart fer the priesthood they were commanded not te drink any strong drink, and this law bas never been repealed. Our Savioar and the Apostles never taught directly or in- directly that the making, selling or using as a beverage intoxicating drinks, as they are made, sold and used by us, than they advocated usury and many other evils not named ia the ten commaudments, but which lead to the violation of them. If Progress is a theologian he must have studied the Koran, Joe Smith’s bible or some other mutilated “so called” holy writ, for King James’ translation of the Bible teaches—Woe to him that putteth the bottle to bis neighbor’s mouth,” “Look not upon the wine when it is réd, for wt lastiit biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder,” “Do anto others as you would have others do unto you,” “Love one another,” and mauy like pas- sages.

Did any ome ever read more reckless—more absurd state- ments?

More Anon proceeds to moralize, basing his calculations on the open night and day to tempt the unwary, and lead the enthralled victim on to de- struction.” Then, why in the pame of common sense don’t you close up the bawdy-houses, which not only stand open night and day to tenfpt the unwary, and lead the enthralled victim on to destruc- tion, but their shameless inmates promi- nade the streets, the public highways, lay in wait at every corner, and by much fair speech the youth of the land are led away air anid self-righteous seeming, best im- itated by a buzzard just on the eve of disgorging an overdose of putrescent horse” (O-u-u-gh-h, hold) your nose, Trail !), they have deemed all the hares and sheep I have scared up unworthy of their notice.

But More Anon is not sat- isfied with $102,000; so he figures up, af- ter his own peculiar style, the monstrous sum of $204,000 as the atinual loss to Row- an county through the so-called evil of whisky drinking. Is there any better evidence needed than this assertion to show the man not only a fanatic, but a hopeless dreamer? If there were a sem- blauce of truth in these assertions, is it not strange that States and cities that have had in force for years the prehibito- ry whisky laws, have not grown rich, and peaceful, aud happy? It would require but a few years, according to these figures, to make any community rich, if it) will bat abstain from the luxury of whisky drinking. What consummate nonsense ! States and cities that have tried the ex- periment of prohibition, are not only vot rich, and happy, and peaceful, but seem as though a blight had passed over them, and their people appear restless, envious, old Maine, is more rampant and frequent than iv whisky drinking North Carolina. I suppose More Anon will will not deny this, but if he should, he can get the facts and figures. After that threadbare twad- dle of the temperance lecturer about tears, children, and other tluammery, balderdash, are daily and nightly plying their avoea- tion throughout these States; that the blood of the whole human race is becom- ing contaminated with venereal poison by reason of them ; that the amount of pro- perty invested in the traffic of prostitution is many millions of dollars, and the sus- ceptibility of youth to yield to the blan- dishments of this monster evil, it seems to me, that here is a field for the opera- tion of the philanthropist that makes the nifleance. Yet, you can not put down this evil, apy wore than you can whisky drinking, with local option laws, (which worthy of our people), or any other sort of human laws. There are too many laws Too much law—teo much gov- eriument—is the bane of the world to-day. Now, Mr. More Anon, does it not really appear foolish to you to attempt to stop the evil of whisky drinking by local op- tlon laws—by drawing a line throagh the woods? If prohibition laws accomplish no good when they encompass a whole State, what can you hope to effeet by mere township prohibition? The five gallon law was tried here once, and there was more drunkenness during its exist- ence than there is now. This foolish ti- rade against whisky has been productive of great evil, for the manufacture of it has largely increased and the use of it be- come more general, though it is more geu- erally adulterated, because good men have been driven from the production of it by the temperance crusaders, aud less seru- pulous ones taken their places. The re- sult is, they have made what was once ao exhilarating drink, a deadly poison. Whis- ky drinking you uever cau stop, while it is made. And as for the traffic, does it not ill become those who use tobacco or already. unite their strength to put down the sale of liquor and thereby prevent people from drinking it, if they choose? Let those who are innocent cast the first stone at the toper and the traffic.

Mules are naturally deaf, but that supreme wisdom that teaches the lit- tle boy to wipe his nose on his sleeve, has fitted the mule out with a pair of ears that counteracts its deufuess, so he can hear as readily asa person when you don’t want him to. These cars answer a double purpose, as tun- nels to pour sound into the head, and also as fans to brush away the flies with and keep his head cool. They are hang by hinges tothe sides of his head, and Aap backward and forward jike a pair of wet trowsers round a boy’s legs, In cold latitudes quite fi tasty business is done in mules ears.

The proceeding, we suppose, is gader the law recently passed which al- lows sheriffs to go back to 1874 and col- Jeos all arrearages of taxes due. The sums are mostly small, not exceeding an average of $4.60; but they make an ag- gregate of $1,260.

The theft was committed sume ten or fifteen days ago, as well as we can learn. The old man is wo anxious to recover his lost dog, which Js aspeckled or spotted hound pup, that he has left his bome and launched out into wide world to hunt him up. He thinks two negroes at work in some gold mine below Gold Hill are the thieves, and he earries a paper which refers him to Bob Sumrow and Bob Hambright as the sus- pected offenders. They are colored men, and had better hide themsclves or the dog, ifthey are guilty, for the old man is in solid earnest in his pursuit. rio Wuitrt PEARL MILvET.—Petter Hender- son, so well knewn as oneof the most successful gardeners in the whole coantry, thas been experimenting with the Millet Roown as above and by several other Rames, and the result as told by himself ts wonderful.

A Stranger on the Temperance Question. Mr. Evitron: Nothing is so repugnant as bigotry, Bigots are the most uncon- genial associates. Their whole being has nota single spark of generous impulse. Compromise is simply self interest with them. They have some design, the fruit of which will crop out for their benefit. Religion, politics and all social relations they threaten with the doctrine of rule or ruin. These dolts lack ability, and their vaunting ambition is paralleled by vicious design and overshadowing self conceit. They creatures of strut and stare, smile and fawn as will best suit plot and plan. If in the minority, the resolution of intellectual and social superiors holds them in check ; and for the time all are soft as distant music and as_ pliable as churned cream. If in the majority, they go with a sweep that characterizes the heartless bully. They never pause in scheme and phan, however cruel and un- just. When victorious they pause not until those who opposed, however rep- utable and useful in’ society, are hunted from every position that may awake jealousy and endanger power. Let the records of fhe past attest the truth of these assertious, and threw before the startled gaze, the prison, stake and halter. The bloody ertelties of mealy-mouthed ruffanisins under the garb of religion, politics’and reform blacken their record, The orvisons of pitiless scoundrels mingle with, “lL am better than thon.” The clasped hands, upturned optics and eton- 4 gated features have accompanied the tears, sighs and cries of murdered inno- are cence. The block, gallows and axe reek with the blood of hapless victims who perished to satisfy and gratify the mali- cious hate of the sleek-tongued, who ad- voeated some unjust law or pet scheme. Mealy meekness and with brass-faced im- padence cloaks its claim within the pales of religion, politics, and social order. But noble men for justice have stemmed the tide and storm, and inspired others by fearless example. The valorand change- luss spirit that upheld them still lives and inspires. We hail the champions who plant themselves upon the ramparts of justice and fling the banner of defiance to the mellow winds of truth, which, like the winds of heaven, penetrate and dispel fog, damp and dew and brings, on wel- come wings, the healing of health and happiness. Upon this rampart and under this ban- ner I behold the glory -covered *‘Progress” leading and rallying the cohorts ef com- mon sense to do battle and beat back the liberty-robbing fanaticiam of loeal option —whoee only law and rule is the bloody minded bigot’s edict of, eat, drink and think as I de, or die a dog's death ! Progress goce about the fight in the right manner. He epposes a principle that Rowan despises, and will never adopt, however much desired by thosc who have an interest in turning the prof- its of the Hiquor traffic into other chan- nels. It is ironically delightfal to say nothing about the exceeding freshness of the refreshing idea advanced by the brass-plated lie that asserts—no whisky will be sold except for medical purposes, and that the dry ticket means no more than the stopping of whisky selling by saloons, and that no one can get whisky unless he is really sick, er willing and able to bay by the large quantity! Progress is awake, and with elegant dic- tion and sound sense gives the alarm that enables voters to see through sach flimsy talk as the above sentence. It is so thin —so exceedingly thin—too illusively thin to lide the cnnning design of those who would be financially benefitted in a com- mercial point by having the saloons closed. Report says the saloon keepers will become family grecers and druggists rather than let the profits of their busi- ness pass into other hands. They feel an interest in the delicate health of their etstomers, who must have whisky to dissolve their medicine. Did they not attend to this matter, not a family gro- cery or drag store, likely, would think of supplying the demand. It would be det- rimental to those in delicate health—a neglect so sad. Further, did the local optien sacceed, in what a sad plight would such neglect place the numerous and unanimous healthy sick! Should local option sneceed, many a barrel of whisky must be eold to keep the delicate and others not soe delicate in a healthy | condition—the profits will be immense! | Look in a cocoaunt for milk, and net a ' gourd. When parties think Progress so lame perhaps they think we don’t know | the difference between cocoa and gonrd. Don’t be childlike and innocent—so sim- ple !—I ctose lest some local option inno- cent discover my defective perambulator and place me on the list of cripples.

It is consoling to think that teachers are viewed as having (contrary to my former opinion) so much authority, that they have, schools, and parents, as ‘B. O.

If we wish to thoroughly know aman, “touch his pocket.” | Perhaps B. QO. T. rejoices in bearing the precious stuff falling into his coffer; aud when properly sounded we may delineate in his conduct, to wit: TE know it may be oppressive to some; but his motto is, ‘hold on daddy, it is doubtless severe on you, but it is the nmking of the puppy.” Herein we sce the Scripture veritied: ‘Money is the roet of all evil.” the profession on account of low wages— the public school funds being sv limited. Cheap teachers are often employed in or- der to have more schools. The writer's motto is “live and let live,” and nothing else was meant in our first communication on this subject. Ido not claim to know it al, and think an effort by tntelligent men to impart information, more commen- dable than censurable. I believe education what we desire, and I think every geod citizen should. What does our prosperi- ty and happiness as a people depend up- en % As has been said, ‘‘the highest learn- ing is to be tcise, and the greatest wisdom is to do good.” Hence the importace of a proper cultivation ef the minds of all classes ; for when ignorance prevails, vice aad immerality will predominate. As to the condact of “isappreciative poeple” towards teachers, the writer feels satisfied that all having the practical kaowledge ia this given line, will agree with him. Why is it that so many in our country attain their majority in years and can scarcely read, write legibly, or make the simplest calculation with fig- ures? The trouble in many instances is, the schools are too short to afford them sufficient opportuuity to learn, and their means are too limited to enable them to do se. Now, Mr. Editor, I will be glad if B.O. T. would give some common sense views On this important snbjeet, as from his com- munication one weuld infer he is compe- tent to the task, and perhaps his energy aad enterprising disposition will prompt him toit.

If what I have refer to be not im- pediments to sacccss in common schools, I world like B. 0. 1. to imform me what they are. Now, to sum ap the whole: can children learn as much in a short as in a long school term? Is there any law to sustain teachers in attempting to compel parents to furnish certain books? Can children be taught without their presence in school? ‘The tenor of B. O. T’s article seems to answer in the affirmative. As to any thing else, I meant what I said; and if these things were incessantly poured forth into the ears of the people, we might expect action taken in this matter that would redound to the interest of our race.

In the good old days of the long ago when the magian fires barned and glowed along the hill tops of Asia, it was the custom in war or peace to place a watch- man on a high cliff or tower to observe all ‘that was going on below. Those in the val- ‘lies below might be often heard calling 'throngh cloud and gloom—Watchman, | what of the night? The faithful sentinel | gave such response as the case demanded. ' His signal brought terror or repose. The Watchman’s news, then as now, made an impress upon the community. It was peace or alarm. Dear Watchman, it is ‘thus you stand upon the towering tower of the press and glancing everywhere, honor the trust by gathering information and giving through the magic silence of your glittering pages the true state of affairs. The Watchman's voice of the old time is heard no more, bat. for nearly forty years you have filled a position no less responsible. Nations pass away and ‘others arise as monuments of the change and assurance of what may be their fate, ‘but amid change and failure, Switzer- land, iron-nerved Switzerland, has sur- vived the wreck of empire; and save a ' brief eclipse during the mighty Corsi- can’s march, has stood defiant as her Jof- ty mountains. This spirit of nerve, pluck -and endnrance extends to many things— ‘newspapers not excepted, as your obser- vation donbtless has noted. Paper after paper in Rowan has made a courtly bow for public favor, met a varied response, then paled, flickered and died. Others ‘arose timidly te look briefly aroand, then march to the grave dag by hard times and small appreciation. The Watchman has lived to welcome each, but often ere the ink of congratalation was dry, it has had to assume a sombre look, write the obituary, sing its rivals death chant, then fold its bandanna and pursne the even tenor of its way. Like Switzerland among the nations is the Watchman among the papers. The Cersican’s march made a brief eclipse. But it took Stone- man’s raid and Sherman's march to eclipse the Watchman for even a brief period, and then not until press was seiz- ed, type scattered aud Editor in flight— searching for the remnant of the Coufed- eracy. Some things may be eternal in duration, but unless they are the Watch- man will write their obituary and that without spectacles ! These thoughts concerning the Watoh- man are suggested by listening to some of the eldest citizens ef Davie and Rewan who met and spent the night at Blossom Dell. I was a welcome listener to their interesting recital ef other days, and pleasant remembrance of the Watchman. It was delightful as beanty’s dream. I almost longed to be an editor and to manage a newspaper. Bat perhaps all is not gold that glistens, and therefore I shall be satistied with a happy girl’s fot, and the privilege to write something now and then for the Watchman. I would love to furnish columns of locals, bat they must be more plentiful than at the Dell. Not an item of news ontside the wisitors’ chat and the farm and household rontine.

In connection with the late fatal shooting affair at Atlanta, Ga., be- tween Col. Robert A. Alston and a Capt. Cox (in which Alston was kill- ed) a newspaper writer gives the fol- lowing history of the Alston family, Davie, graphic review of old times and | many of whom were well known in this State: “The killing of Col. Robert A. Alston in Atlanta on Tuesday, March 11th, revives the memory of the most famous family probably of theold time chivalry days the fighting Alstons of Carolina. The history of this audicious strain of blood is inter- woven with the history of those tur- bulent days when gentlemen fought at the drop of a hat, and a slight ans- wer to an insult or insinuation—the close of all argument. The Alstons were gallant men of gentle blood and usually large for- tunes. They were free livers and ut- terly reckless fighters, and frequently became involved in difficulties that drained their estates by costs and forfeitures. Probably the best known of them, Col. Ben Alston, had sever- al affairs of honor and wounded his antagonist every time that he went to the field. He was an imperious, pas- sionate man, and as coul under fire as he would bein his drawing room. His most notable duel was with Hayne whom he wounded in the knee. On one occassion he was visiting in Au- gusta, whena gentleman, mistaking him for an acquaintance, tapped him across theshoulders with ariding whip. Alston wheeled as quick as lightning. The gentleman apologized in the most ample terms. Alston took the whip from his hands, lashed him across the back and then said, “Now, sir, your apology is accepted.” Of course a meeting followed. It is said that Alston once fought a gentleman who disputed the age of some wine of which Alston had been boasting, throwing some of the wine in his face tl.at he might get its full flavor. Col. Bob Alston came of the fami- ly know as the Halifax Alstons. Their estates lay about Halifax, N. C., and they dominated that whole section for years. They where enor- mously wealthy and travelled from one of their estates to another in al- most regal state. They had hundreds of slaves, and always travelled with a coach and four and a small army of retainers. The men were princely in their habits of expense and put the “oode” above the Bible. The women were high strung and spirited. Mrs. Bob Alston, the grandmother of ‘the subject of this sketch, always carried her own sheets and pillows with her when she travelled, and a case of ‘loaf sugar. “I have known her,” says Col. Tom Howard, a connection, “to put $100 on acock fight, with her own birds, and then stand and watch | the struggle to the death.” Col. Willis Alston, know ae “Ifonest Wil- lis Alston,” the grand uncle of Bob Alston, fought a dosen dnels in oue winter. He killed twe men and was himself frequently wounded. His favorite weopon was an old fash- ioned “yager,” whieh is a sort of blunderbuss, carrying a double haad- ful of buck shot, and of fearful exe- cution. A volume might be filled with the exploits of these two brothers, bat I shall deal only with the sons of Col. Bob Alston, who were the later Als- tons’ immediate ancestors. AN ALSTON MUST DIE WITH HIS Boots ON.—Old Col. Alston, who was himself killed in a duel, had three sons—Willis, Gideon and Au- gustus. Willis Alston was the father of Col. R. A. Alston. Each of these brothers came to his death by violence or died, as the family tradition runs, “in his boots.” Gideon Alston, the first of the three to die, was killed in a peculiar manner. His brother Wil- ous suit for several months, ‘and; while engaged in this dalliance, form- ed an attachment for a young Span- ish boy, named Pelat.. This boy was friendless and poor, and Alstou ed hint, taking him home | with hits when he left Nashville. It appears that there was: some feeling. between Pelat and Gideon Alston > at any rate they left the house.at night and weat into the yard for the purpose of “praecti- cing with their pfetdls.”~ Gideon was then s cdMlege boy, having just turn- ed sophomore in the State University. In a few moments after he left the house with Pelat, he was found in the yard, with a pistol bullet through his brain. Pelat said that he had shot himself accidentally, and this was all that was ever known of the matter, A FLtorma Tracepy.—And now comes one of tne most remarkable tragedies in this history of this section so full of tragedies. There was living in Florida, then & primitive region, young Leigh Reed, a man of great ability, gentleness and courage. He was almost idolized by the people of that State for his gallant services in the fierce Indian wars, having by his skill and fearlessness several times saved the little colony from destruc- tion by the Seminoles and their allies. A story is told of him that will illustrate his character and at the same time show how delicate was the sense of personal honor at that time. Gen. Reed was a political opponent of Gov. Call’s and at the same time his personal friend. Political feeling ran very high, and on election day a Mr. White made some reflections upon the integrity of Gov. Call. Reed at once challenged him fora duel. The men met, both were desparately wounded and behaved with great gallantry, fighting with bowie knives, their left hands strapped together. Some timef aterward Reed became in- volved in a difficulty with the Als- tons. I give the story as it was given me by Col. R. A. Alston himself. He said that an article appeared in a newspaper reflecting on Gov. Call. Col. Augustus Alston, who was the leader of the Call faction, demanded the name of the author. He was fur- nished with the name of Gen. Reed, who was the leader of the opposite faction, He at once challenged Gen. Reed, and a meeting was arranged. The weapons-elected. were “‘yagers,” this deadly, weapon being, as I have said, a favorite with the Alstons. Cel. Alston was attended by Mr. ‘Kenon, his brother-in-law. At the word “‘one” Col. Alston’s gun explo- ded, it being hair-triggered. The ‘contents were discharged into the air. Gen. Reed, aiming with deliberation fired, and Col, Alston dropped dead in bis tracks. His sister, a most epiri- ted woman was nearly crazed at the news of his death, She scoured the Jead that had killed him, and with her own hands she moulded it into bullets and sent them to her brother, Willis Alston (the father of R.A. Alston,) and implored him to come and avenge the death ofhis brother. She wrote that he had been murdered and the Alstons adhered to this belief, although the general statement is that the meeting was a fair one. Gen. Reed using only his just right in firing after the explosion of Alston’s “yager.” At any rate it was very well auder- stood that Willis Alston would seek revenge for his brother’s death, as the family for generations had made one ofall their quarrels. The first meet- ing between Alston and Reed was dramatic. The Legislature h«d just met, and Reed had been elected Speaker. He wasa young man, of exceptional power and popularity, and his life promised to be brilliant and illustrious. He had invited friends to the usual legislative supper, and the banquet was in progress, eyery- thing going merrily and well. Sud- dealy a tall figure, muffled io a swing- ing cloak with a slouch hat drawn down over the face, stalked through the open door. Without a word it made for the head of the table, where down the table__At..these ‘cries ‘the cloak’ was" thtown back and Alstoa was | pocket, levelled it at his assailant and fired. ‘The bait struek-Aiston in his uplifted hand, ‘cartying away tid fingers, Thie,did not stop him, but adopt-j brandishing a bowie, he clesed.on Reed. Before the mer-could be Alston, I believe, was wounded agaie. Alston was taken from. the room, aad for some months nothing’. more was heard of the matter. (One day, Gen. Reed was walking down. the. atreets.. of ‘Tallahassee when he was fired ; upon by Col. Alston. The content» of one barrel of a shotgun was poored into his shoulder, and as he turned to confront his assailant the other ‘Joad went into his heart. He ‘fell and died. Col. Alston’s friends say that he had given Reed.notiee that he in- tended to kill him on sight. KMep By A MoB.—Willis Alston went to Texas, where he lived for some time. He settled near Brasoris. There was a Dr. Stewart, who for some reason or other, pursued the matter of the Reed killing and used remarks derogatory to Alston. Al- ston hearing of it wrote the remarks down, and. meeting Stewart on the prairie one day, asked him to.say whether or ‘not he was responsible for those remarks. Dr. Stewart took the paper, and while pretending te read it, put his hand into his holsters and drew his pistols. He jumped off his horse on the side opposite Alston and fired into him. A desparate fight ensued, in which Alston was shot twice and his stomach so ont his bowels protruded. He killed Stewart, however, pouring a lead of buckshot into him after -he was-prone upon the earth.” He was taken to jail almost‘dead. He wasa famous fid- dJer, and procuring a fiddle, sat there entrails protruding,” as he wrote te a friend, playing the eld tunes. of his boyhood. His body servant. gained admission to his cell and had coil of rope wrapped about his body. With this he was going to try and escape. Suddenly a mob assaulted the jail, and seized Col. Alston. He was game to the last, and fiddled up to the very instant he was seized, his dauntless face looking full upon his asstilants. He was tumbled into a blanket, the ends twisted, and he was then hustled out of the jail. Once ont in the street he was throw te-the ground, still en- veloped in the blanket, and a’ hun- dred bullets were poured into his body. Thus died the last of the “Halifax Alstons.” They were a re- markably atheletic and handeame race of men. Gideon, who was: kill- ed by Pelat, is always cited as the handsomest youngster of his day. It may be said here that the young Castilian whe-killedbim was put in- to the navy as a midshipman arid was drowned in the Meditterrariean?, Wil- lis Alston was a man of wondétfal strength. Heyonce shonldered 4 fqad of 800. ponnds dead weight..end.@ar ried it through the streets of Eparte ona bet. His life was a stormyone. His feud with the Ingrams, a brave and powerful family, was the sensa- tion of Georgia for the time it lasted. He always carried his “yager” with him, and eseaped-the whole difficulty with only one finger shot away.’ This feud was dramatized under the title of ‘The Watch,” and sold largely. Its authors were never discovered, or they would have been ‘killed, as the heroes of that day did not tolerate the publication of their tronble. The manuscript was discovered one morn- in the yard of a fearless widow, whe published it-berself.and sold it, mak- ing a great deal of money by it. The Quaker city (Philadelphia) is engaged in making preparations to receive the great Ulyses, when he comes home. The Gov, of Pennsylvania, and Mayor of Philadelphia, goto San Francisco to meet him, free ride both ways, Big Ingun.

Eupassant, I uotice that a sort of second edition of Mohamined has emerged from his cave in the classie hills of Iredell, and although he may have been lying up there fer filteen years, dreaming dreams, seeing visions, consulting familiar spirits, and even having fits, yet, judging from his en- chorie style, he will not be able to cope with the irrepressible Arab, in stamping his creed upou the world, or in dictating a book of Koran. J/ic labor, hoe apis est, for a backwoodsman who seems to kuow no more about polite literature and syllo- gistic reasoning than scicutists do of the perteruity of the dog. When I sean care- tullyshis array of crade logic and splenetic jargon, Lam inclined to wonder whether he has not already been feasting to excess on some impure meat, deadly weed, o1 adulterated drink, asa sort of apish set off to the poisoned mutton on which the enraged Jewess fed the founder of the Moslem faith. If he neither feeds on over- seasoned meats, nor dripks manipulated whisky, he doutbless chews the intosica- ting weed: Itis said tobacco makes its victim nervous, pevish, sententious, and mean. But lmuston! While the argu- meuts of wise men, and the thrusts of big ones, must be met or dodged, there is bo time ty dally with or listen to the rattle of pop-guns. And then ‘Iredell’s” cuti- cle would not remain whole under the castigation he has merited and which he may yet reevive should it become neces- sary to winnow the chatf from the wheat. Nimrod, Jr., and Iredell have excited the contempt of temperance people, aud the merirment of others, but they have my profound commisseration. “More Anon” continues. histame ser mou in that same strain referred to in my last article; and of all the ridiculous as- stluptious, erroneous conclusions, and reckless assertions, I ever listened to, coming from one whose writing bears the impress of intelligence and culture, | think his excell. He assumes that) he has “shown tie license sale and use of intox- icating liquor to be tinaucially ruinous, a great moral and social evil, the-ccause of a large part of the crime of the land; and lurther, that society has the perfect right to rid itself of such social evils, aud pro- hibit sach oecupations as are injurious to the welfare of the comisunity.” [protest that there is more in his assumptions than What he has shown. 1 admit that whisky drinking is an evil, but, at the risk of be- ing charged with advocating the bar- rooms, | deny that the sale of it ts, when authorised by law. So long as it is made men will drink it, ana it is far better to have the sale of it con- trolled by law and contined to the hands of men whose interest it will be to con- fur in a great measure to the wishes aud prejudices of society, than to have its sale carried on by sneak-thieves, blockade- runners, and wholly irresponsible and graceless vagabonds ; which would be the result of withholding license and clossing up the bar-rooms. IL understand from re- liable sources, that the good people of Salem and Winston, where prohibition has been tried for years, are seriously thinking of licensing bar-rooms as a means of checking or abating drunken- ness. Here the opposite course is talked of by experimenters and busybodies. It has not been shown that the sale or use of liquor is. financially ruinous. On thie contrary just asevery otherarticle of com- nerce does; it furnishes eceapation to idle- idlers, is a commodity of trade, and a fac- tor of wealth. Itis-not the prime cause a ee artot the crime of the land. To affirm it, is to deny that siu is innate in the. buman heart: To aftirm it, is to declare that liquor is the cause of original sin. Who is prepared to make such state- mepts? David, the man after God’s own heart, declared he was conceived in sin. Paul, the greatest of all the Apostles, the peerless logician, the wisest of his age, solemuly agseverated that there was no good thing in him—-in the flesh. J have not the space requisite toenter into a dis- serfation t6 show the origin or cause of ‘erie, but a single obgervation which all well posted people have noticed, will serve to refute the assertion that crime origin- ates ih, oris inténsified by whisky. The United States and England are the great whisk) dritbking countries of the globe. In Spain there is comparatively no whis- ky drank ; neither is therein Turkey. Yet where. will you find more crime, and that of a more atrocious character, than is per- petrated’ in these too last named coun- tries? And so, if you will carefully ob- serve, it is everywhere. You need not go out of our own country to find that where loeal option laws prevail, and self-riglite- ous teefotalers rule, crime is more frequent and. of a more heinous character. There all the devilish ingenuity of moate sip seems to be cal-d into requisition to in- vent ways and means to clothe crime in its most revolting and hateful garb. Fur- thermore, the United States, England and France, the great liquor drinking coun- tries, are the most prosperous. 1 chal- lenge the tempeauce leaders to deny these statements. More Anon says moral suasion, the in- fluence of the pulpit, and the gentle offices of the gospel, as a remedial means in the mitigation of the evils of whisky drinking are objectionable. First, because whisky dealers and habitual whisky drivkers will not go to church, and will not allow then- selves to be approached on the subject of their occupation or habits. Then prayer is of none effect. It has no power to sat- isfy the yearvings of the guilty heast for divine mercy or favor. It has no power to bring in the erring children of men to the fold of the Lambof God. Worship through prayer is a delusion and a snare. Charlotte Ob. ls not this the logical deduction from e ‘ THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION. | shall be banished : doctrine is to upset the main ‘pillow in the Christian faith. All things may be accomplished by prayer and faith, or the writer has been mest woe niisled in the teachings of the New Testament Scrip- tures. The prayer of a righitzous man availeth mach, says the good book. The Savior said, woking forward to the ti when He would have perfected his minis- try and atonement—“Hereafter ye. ask me nothing, but whatsoever the Father in my name, He will and in another place He ‘“‘Whatsoever ye ask the Father in my name, I will.do it.” The author of the Philosophy of the Plan of Salvation says: ‘When the supplication is for spiritual blessings upov another individual, two minds are blessed by the duswer, the in- dividual prayed for, and the individual who prays.” ‘Is not thisap ineentive suf- ficient to make the Christinn pray for his felluw’s good? But the power of prayer is too generally admitted and has beeu too frequently demonstrated, to allow of any one’s being misled by More Auon’s strange Ls And I do npt hesitate to assert my belief that such religious meetings as that which hag beeu in progress at the M. E. Church in this place of date, will do more good ip ove weck to mitigate the evils of whisky drinking in the, community than the ranting of all the téuipurance fanatics with their local option: laws in full force can do in one years The seeond objec- tion is, as stated by Mure® Anon, that the laws forbid the commission ef other evils but not that of whisky drinking. This is about as lame as the first objection ; for the law can only punish at most the re- sult of these evils—or the crime growing out of them—the mere abstraction—and it will just as well apply to whisky, If it produces crime, ag is alleged, then it is punished in the effect, since there are laws for all crimes. Now, More Anor is hot satified with the punishment of the crimes which he alleges grow out of whis- ky drinking, but he wauts a law to pan- ish the act of drinking, by depriving men of their xight to indulge if they choose. This conelusion is irresistable. Yet, he has theetfrontery to assert that itis not the purpose of the temperance folk to dictate What a man shall eat or drink. He wants a law to punish whisky drinking—to pre- veut men from engaging in the traftic— simply because he and a few others have taken up the idea, just as the vld witch burners did avout witchcraft, that itis a great evil. Is there any differeuce in the spirit which calls for this prohibi- tion law and that which actuated those who framed and enforced the following Old Puritan Laws? lL copy afew by way of sample: “No one shall be a freeman, or give a vote, unless he be couverted, and a member in full communion of one of the churches allowed in this Duiminivn, - “No Quaker, or dissenter from the establish- ed worship of this Dowituon, shall be allowed to give a vole for the-ele tion of magistrate or anv officer. “No food or lodging affall be offered to a Quaker, Adamite, ur other heretic; “Tf any person turns Quaker be shull be ban- ished and not .be sufferéd to return, but on pain of death: ‘ “No priest shall abide tn the Dominion; he and suffer death on his re- turn, “Priests may be seized by any one without a warrant. “No one to cross a riyer but with an author- ized ferryman 4 “Noone shall ron ‘on the ‘Sabbath day, or walk iu his garden, or clsewhere, except rev- erently to and from meeung. “No one shall travel, cook victuals, make beds, sweep house, cul bgir or shave, on the sabbath day. “No, woman shall kiss her children on the Sabbath or fasting day. . ; “None shall bny or sell land without per- mission of the selcctmen. ‘Whosoever wears clothes trimmed with gold, silver or bone lace, above 2s per -yard, shall be presented by the grand jurors, and the selecttnen shall tax the otiender 3001. estate. “None shall read common prayer books, keep Christmas or set days. eat minced pies, dance, play cards, or play on any ivstrument of music, except the drum, trumpet and Jews harp.” Since there seems to be no difference in the spirit of the prohibitionists and in that of these who made the above laws, is there any telling what the local option- ist will demand next, should they succeed in punishing men for drinking, by closing up saloons, and starting whisky onthe run to Davie and other places? Thepext move may be a re-adoption of the old blue code; who knows? They seem to have learned little from histery, or they would not be so bent on force measures as a cor- rective influence. Maby instances might be cited to show the utter worthlessness of soercive laws to correct evils, real or imaginaty, or to make men adopé the custom, or habits, or endorse the opinions of their more numerous oppressors ; but the want of space forbids. [must be per- mitted, however, te give one extract from a writer who has studicd well the whole theory of government as well as the na- ture and physiology of man: “Nations, as well as individuals, suffer from wrong do- ing. Governments convulse and eripple their power, and shatter their constitu- tions by acts of injustice. It seems to me that nothing can be “surer to end in dis- cord, war and bloodshed than despotism.

More Anon regrets that they cannot expel the enemy from the State just now, and seems to think that it will pot be long betore they will be able to de so. Were they able to-day to prevent the sale of liquor in the State, that would not make it right, or Christian, or wise. engaging in the wild religious crusades, and yet the evils resulting therefrou: were almost equal in namber to the millions who were prevailed gpon to eugage ip them.

And now since “Richmond is io the tield” still offering choice of ground and weap- ons to any ove who may choose to. meet him, I propose to examine into some of the arguments alleged agaiust prohibi- tion; both Ht the papers-aud out ef then. mee of Use: first arguments alleged is that ; PROHIBITION HAS BEEN TRIED TERE and has proved a failure. , The facts are as follows. Twenty-four years age the voters of Salsbary adopted what was called the “Five Gallen Law,” thatis they allowed nethivg auder tive gallous to be sold.in the corporate limits of the town. It seems that the town commissioners of that day were enemies of the law, and iusisted on putting the law toa yote ouce a year. The friends cf the law resented this action of the com- Hlissiovers as unconstitutional. and re- fused to go to the polls in 1857. Of course the other party went, aud the prohibition ceased. The county court at ouce grant- cd licenses for five bar-rooms in Salis- bury. And thongh there were infamous dens, just outside the town limits, where liquor could be procured, the sober aad. intelligent people of that day thought that good was done even by the “tive gallon law.” Bat the law now proposed is a greater restriction, banishing it beyond the towuship limits, in all quantities ; and by the co-operation of other town- ships, it may be banished, in time, be- youd the limits of the county. But just how the proposition is to begin at hoie, and work outward. Another assertion is that PROHIBITION INCREASES DRUNKENNESS, : tempts men ‘to break the law, and be guilty of falsehood in shielding them- selves. The first answer to this is a_flat denial. It is not true that the prdfbi- tion of an evil, and the removal of temp- tation, “increases the evil. ‘he Lord’s- prayer teaches us to say “Lead us not into temptation.” And [ make the ‘“as- sertion,” that an open bar-reom, and an invitation to join ina glass is a tempta- tion. But still further, as an evidence that prohibition does vot increase drunken- ness, We nay cite the fact that the good citizens of Salem, Winston, Greensboro, Mockaville, Statesville, Newton, Morgan- ton, Gold Hill, and other towns, have adopted prohibition, and have cluug to it, year after year, believing that it was a good thing. Are these people all fools ? ure they mistaken about. the effect of their own laws? Does a casnal visiter, whosé ear has been tilled by some sore-headed friend of license, know more about it than the intelligent people who observe fot themselves? “Actious speak louder than words,” applies in this case. But let ts éxuMirfe Some cases in detail. - , GOLD HILL isa town in Rowan county, and its peo- ple, together with its Mayor, are well known to some of our citizens. A gen- tleman of this city, who was once chair- man of our county court, testifies that about twenty-five years ago a large part of the criminal litigation of the county arose trom Gold Hill precinct. These were the days of bar-room license and quart sales. Two years ago, by act of Legislatare. the sale of liquor was prolib- ited in Gold Hill. -It is new reported on the authority of its intelligent avd afti- cient Mayor, that the improvement in sobriety and industry has been so great tiat a number of the euemies of prokibi- tion have become its friemds and advo- cates—that a numberof persons who were idle and intemperate in the days of license have become industrious and law- abiding citizens, providing a decen sup- port for their families—and that there is pow but ove man in the place who drinks to excess ! ! NEWTON, in Catawba county, sjtuated in a region where distillers abound, has been a pro- hibition town since the days before the war; and a more orderly, industrious and thriving people are bot found in western Carolina. And they are in earnest about their law. A negro barber not a great while ago conceived the notion of making movey by surreptitiously selling liquor in Newton, but it Was not long before he found himself in ‘durance vile,” with leisure fur repentance. NORTHAMPTON isalarge county of 14,000 inhabitants, lying of the Roanoke, next to the Vir- ginia live. This county has 8,000 col- ored people and only 6,000 whites. Some years ago the Legislatare prohibited the sale of liquors in this county, and thej people, white and colored, have never asked for its repeal. Why f The fact is that the county expenses have beca rer duced aire tian one-half, ia five-years, and the criminal docket, whieh - used to take ap pearly a week to clear, % now: cleared in less than aday. “By their; 4A reliable religious journal, not secta- {rian,§ states that last year’ no litense was fi e Wwapa . - - clerk of: the; civenit court of Ed conuty, Tilinois, reports ‘that there has for of eers-—their jail, bap over, twenty -five. their jail Hot averaged more asia «2 gs ~ psig st yet od bat one mau v was sent for, killing his mile while, he was. drank = liquor obta frout a licensed salouu’ iv another county...

BARNUM, THE GREAT SHOWMAN, has beet called the “Prince of Hambugs,” aud perhaps mauy other hard names, but like Ben Butler, he has vever been sus- pected of being'a fool. Ina late speech it Philadelphia, speaking of the waste of intemperance, he said, “If they would give him the money spent in Philadelphia tur intoxicating drinks, he would engage to pay all the city taxes, all the expenses of the police, and courts,and prisous, all the cost of keeping the streets in repair, and of lighting the city Jawps, ali tue ex- pense of sustaiuing the schools and churches of the city, aud would give to every man, Woman and child iu tie city two vew suits of clothes every year, and would make money by doing it.” An intel- ligent city official hearing this declara- tion said, ‘‘hewoald not only make money, but would get rich by doing it.’ These tigures would not answer for Salisbury, but they would probably meet all the expenses except the suits of clothes, and leave a handsome remainder. I have thus given illustrations showing both the evils of license, and the benefits of prohibition.

THE MAINE LIQUOR LAW. Ihave reserved for a place near the close of this article, an account of prohi- bition in. the State of Maine. In July 1878, Dr. Cyrus Hamlin, of Bangor, | Maine, published a brief article 1m a Quarterly Keview of the highest respecta- bility, upon the Maine law and its oper- ations, The whole article is at the dis- posal of the earnest inquirer, and the Editor of the Watchman will secure it for such person, from the writer of this arti- ‘cle. The following facts are gleaned from Dr. Hatlin’s review article. For twenty-eight years, with the inter- val of one year, the sale ef intexicating liquors, except for medical and mechan- ical purposes,’ has been prohibited by law in Maine. The act was passed by the Legislature in 1351, by a vote of 104 to 5Q:. After a year or two, the law was repealed, with the most disastrous con- sequences. Reformed drunkards relapsed, and liquor shops were multiplied in all directions, the veuders believing that a mine of wealth would be found behind the liquor bar. The people were soon alarmed at the terrible chauge, and called for the re-enactwent of the law. Their wishes were respected, aud the re-enact- ed law has beco often amended, aud im- proved since, by . constantly increasing majorities in its' favor. The last strin- gent additiyn .was mare to the law in 1877, without a dissenting voice, What- ‘ever therefore people at xt distuneé may say of the daw, the-giegople of Maine have tull confidence in it. * Dr. Hatilin sa\s, that immediately af- ter the law went«into operation, . three- fourths of the -druukenness suddenly ceased. Another gratifying effect was the great diminution of crime. Some.of the couuty jails became absolutely.empty. Tu one very populous county, four months niter the law was passed, there were but tive prisovers in the jail, and three of them were liquor dealers imprisoned for violation of the prohibitory law. Another fact is that before the adep- tion of the law, there were 2,000 places in the State, where liquors were sold'to the amount of (10,000,000) ten million dollars annually. But after the passage of the law, there were 100 county agen- cies selling $100,000 worth annually. Before prohibition was adopted the av- erage annual cost of ‘liquor was $22,22 per cach inhabitant. Now the average is about 15 cents per inhabitant. Or allow- ing one million of dollars for the secret and surreptitious sale (and few persons wonld estimate it so high), and the actual average would be (81.75) oie dollar and seventy-five cents per inhabitant. Such are the financial results of the Maine Jaw, in a quarter of a centary. Intelligent observers declare that there has been a corresponding improvemeutin morals, intelligence, in agri.ulture, in roads, schools, household decoration, ar- chitecture, ete., ete. No doubt the ordi- nary progress of the age is responsible for much of this improvement. But sorely the ten williops annually saved in the way of sobriety, and added to their re- sources, would make a wonderfal addi- tion in a quarter of acentury. Jt would aggregate $250,000,000. Aud what au improvement might we not see in North Carolina, if the six or eight millions an- pually juvested “in intoxicating drinks were expended apoa roads, sclivols, and improvencut in agriculture f ° MORE.

Mr. Epitor: the temperance discussion is already oc- tapied by one or another of your several correspondents except that spot which stand the dealers and users of in- toxicating liquors. As in courts of law any prisoner is cutitled to an advocate, and-as these men comprise some of the Brightest intellects and most honest hearts in the State of North Carolina, I eonsider it but fair that I should take up the cudgel in their behalf. Of course I shall be called ‘‘un apologist for drunk- ards ;” but the true knight cares nothing for hard names, and it is of but little mo- ment to the lawyer if in the discharge of duty he stirs up some theughtless remark about his too active sympathy with the accused.—These men stand beside me, ‘sir, charged with all the foulest crimes in Every ineh of ground in upon elamor shall not convict them if I can help it. We should assume that they are innocent till they have a hearing at least. And can any one refuse it to said against these, our silent but worthy fellow citizens ? In the first place, then, I enunciate the bold and oan proposition that the trade and consumption of ardent spirits are a necessity of man's nature, and that all temperance outery is rely sensational, temporary and tran- nt. Phe whole history of our race proves it. <All the fine-spun theories of would-be philanthropists to banish war, pestilence, famipe, ignorance, slavery, intemperance and other kindred scious of depravity from this earth have proved utter failares in the past, and will con- permanent geod iu the future as surely as the sun shines. There is just as much bloodshed, sickness, hunger, destitution of knowl- edge, bondage, dram-drinking, &c., &c., now, asin the days of Noah—in fact, rather more. Have the Peace societies Made ove soldier less iu the national armaments? Hive the docters saved a life in the Russian plague-districts? Are not people starving now in the valley of the Nile? Are not two-thirds of the adults in some of our States unable to Write their owu names? Are not the Working classes in bondage to capital Werywhere? Have not the revenue laws, passed by that sainted set of thiev- ng hypocrites, the Radical Congress, caused more lies to be told apd more money to be stolen, oppressed aud mar- dered more of our poor, hard-working mountaineers, and created more devil- ment, deception and bad whiskey gener- ally than all the distillers and grog-shop keepers ever thought of before?

Fair Poway. sane For the Watchman. Mr. Epitor! My old grandfather, \iv- ing about midway between two churches, said that he could always tell the indi- vidual members of each place by the pe- caljar twang of their swearing. But these scenes are now far removed. Many of: those wavering Christians have gone to settle their accounts at an impartial tri-. banal. Still the world moves on. Last Sanday, being iuvited by 2 young man who never driuks liquor, uses to- bacco, swears prdfune oaths, nor inten- tionally breaks any of God’s least com- mandments, I went to church. He drove ° eee: the place of our destination. less, ont. The men gathered up in squads and talked polities. IT could) frequently | hear the name “Wance.” The women talked about babies aud witches. actly at the appointed hour the preacher came up walking fast. He was a tall slender man, some where over the line of thirty. He had considerable beard on his face, low forhead, and thick set hair. The only intellectual faculty in his eoun- tenance showing development was mem- ory. With artistic self-complacency he mounted the pulpit and rattled off a point- less sermon, with great rapidity and wind, jusc like a school boy couning over a hard-larntlesson. As he advanced he be- came more and more boisterous, and now and then a fling at other preachers. Soon he closed the Book, and repeated as a tinish in English: Pater hoster qui in celis, &c. My curiosity was stirred to know his creed. And having often heard it said that the “Hard Shell Baptist” always preached and sung all at the same time, and also run down other denomina- tions, I thought this must be one of them. l interrogated an old lady sitting by as to the fact. No, was her reply; if there is anything in God’s earth that we do all hate it is the Baptist. So I was left inferring. I had seen or heard tbe proverb, Like priest, like people. afforded for testing the matter. For this purpose I selected the inost intelligent face in the congregation—a man tall, of dark complexion, with the bump of self- esteem prodigiously high. To one that seemed to know everything, I put the question : What is that man’s meral in- fluence in the community ? The reply I received was: He has none. Some time ago in giving evidenco for the State, in very suspicious circumstances, he fainted on the witness stand in the Court-house. My next inquiry was with regard toa pale old man, whose hair was perfectly white. He certainly was living ou bor- rowed time. The reply was, That very old man is under indictment for selling damaged cotton. With regard to the women—but if I were a politician witha very dull axe to grind by the dear people religious ism, I would become lovingly subjective, and prove with mathematical certainty that this noble peeple were moving in the first ranks of civilized re- finement, that they were even now bor- deriug on the Elysian fields, and would soon be overwhelmed with inconceivable glory, resulting from their own worthy actions. JENNIE JONES. or oo or CALCULATED TO WEAKEN OUR FAITH. —The revised Bible which the English scholars have been fixing up, it is said will show that our King James revision is full of interpolations and false con- structions, and errors of all kinds. It is feared by many pious persons that this new revision will have a tendency to weaken the belief in the inspiration of all Scripture. The change from the old to the new Bible will be very marked in- deed, so marked that many passages in our present Word of God will be omitted altogether. There is quite a difference of opinion among churchmen as to the ad- visability of issuing this new edition, now that itis completed. There is no dispute about its being much more accurate than King James’, which it is intended to supplant.— Exchange. — A PRovosITION TO ENDowW A PROFESSOR- sHip.—At the next commencement of Da- vidson College, the second week inJ une, a strong effort will be made by the alumni of the institution to set on foot a plan to endow a professorship. The project has been discussed at the annual meetings of the association for several years, but no plan has been definitely agreed upon. At last meeting it was resolved that the alumni make a special effort te secure a large attendance at the approaching au- nual convocation in order that the pro- ject may reeeive the impetus necessary to carry it through. A special committee was appointed to write to each member of the association and to urge his atten- dance. These are being sent now all over the Southern States.—Char. Ob. tree.

We have had tragedy enough of late years in our politics. We needa revival of the comic. Who is the coming man to answer this great na- tional want by inaugurating a regime of wholesome hearty fun in high places? The era of good feeling, so long fondly hoped for and so often foreseen just at hand only to leave us disappointed in the sad Genesis of new animosities, can never be brought about by sober companions and con- cessions. Tlre resources of statesman- ship have failed to initiate the requir- ed solid and permanent reconcilia- tion, There is a man from North Caro- lina in the Senate of the Republic who can fill the bill. His name is Zebulon B. Vance. He is a wag of the first water. His brain secretes jokes as other men’s drains do ideas of a mere rationalistic kind. He can make up funny tales all day long, and still it all comes as easy to him as terra- pins falling off a lcg into the water to get out of the rain. His wit never smacksof tne cloister. It is not studied and elaborate aud odorious of the ,lamp. The fascination of his fun is ‘anew one too. the inexhaustible fecundity of the imagination which generates it.- His mind isa vast resorvoir of humor, fed by perennial springs, ever full and always running over. The readi- ness of his inventive faculty in this direction is as marvelous as its fertili- ty. His quickness at repartee is ut- terly unmatched. You can never catch him unprepared. Goto him with a funny story and he will tell you, on the moment, a better one and His manner, more- over, is irresistible. This ricly store of genuiné humor is the basis of Senator Vance’s remarka- ble popularity at home aud the foun- dation of his political fortunes. It is this that made him thrice Governor of his native State, on two occasions against immense odds. And now he has joked his way iato the American Senate. Vance has a great deal of bonhom- mie—that fine element of popular leadership which attracts men more than what is called personal magnet- ism does. There is no bitterness about him. His humor is always tempered by good nature—that is, it is good natured humor. When he. arraigns Republicans, for iustance, it is as something way off yender, and. the present company is always edurteous- ly excepted. ~ When the country hears from Vance as it will doubtless before long, all sections will fraternize in one general grio, and a unanimous laugh will go with the clerity of an electric flash from one end of the Union to the: other.— Philadelphia Times. { 2 tense in the Northern jiprtions, . aad eet kato in 1780: 1.

It therefore extended: all over New Euyland, being must. in- was noticed, tn a fess degree, ia New- York and New Jersey. 8. Many scientists have attemped to account fur it. Noah Webster, is his “History of Pestilence Diseases,” sup- poses the atmosphere on this oeeasion to have been charge! with foreign matters emanating from the bowels of the eurth, sublimed by intense beat. These condensed and formed a thick cloud, which shut out the sun. The statement of other eye-witnesses, how- ever, shows that the darkness was caused by two strata of clouds, “The darkness was preceded by common clouds, witha slight spriakling of | rain. Between these (the common clouds) and the earth, there inter- vened another stratum, to appearance of great thickuess, As the strtum ad- vanced the darkness co:nmenced and increased with its progress till it came tu its height, which did not take place the atmosphere was a aecond tinte overspread. The ancotifmon thickness of this second stratum was probably occasioned by two strong currents of wind from the southward and westward, condensing the vapors and drawing them ina_ northeast direction.” The explanation is that there were two distinct currents of wind one above the other, making two cloudy canopies, the lower one» fear the earth and very dense. 3. The darkness was noticed early in the day. In northern Massachu- setts, New Hampshire and Maine the people dined by candle light, and although there was a little light out of doors of a peculiar brassy hue, in the house no one could see more than in a moonless night. In Conneeticut, where it was less intense, it seeared like late twilight. The Legislature was in session at. Hartford. The House of Representatives adjourned, the opinion being openly expressed that the day Of judgment had come. A proposal was made to adjourn the Council, when Col. Abraligat, Daven- port rentarked, “I am against an ad- jourament. The day of judgment is coming or it ig-not, ‘Ef it is nof, there is no cause for adjourndent ; if it is, I choose to be found doing mg duty. I wish, therefore, ‘that candles may be brought,’ .This is she incident which suggested the Beautiful version of Whittier in “The Tent on the Beach.” The darkness in northern New Eng- land lasted ali day, and was quite as noticeable after nightfall as before. In the evening it seemed palpable, like that described in the plagues of Egypt. “A sheet of white paper held within a few inches of the eyes was equally invisible with the blackest velvet.” 4. J. W. Barber, in his His. Col. of Connectibut, gives the date May 19, 1780, and in his notice of Stam- ford alludes to Davenport, and re- cords the incident above narrated.

OT OOOO Grass CLoTHINc.—It mayseema transparent falsehood to state that people wear glass clothing, bat this sort of apparel may yet come inte use- Glass would seem to be about the last thing to think of as clothing, but it is nevertheless, true that glass cloth is being made in Germany. If people who live in glass houses should not throw stones, it is to be hoped that bad boys clothed in glass may give up their atone-throwing propensities, not to mention snow-balling, and, if so, the era of glass clothing will be hail ed with plessure.

Municipa] Matters. Mr. Epitor: The time rapidly approaches for the choice of town offjcers—mayor and commissioners—for the coming year. The importance of selecting proper men to admin- ister the town affairs cannot be overesti- mated. Intelligent, sober, honest, virtuous men should be put forward—and none others. Thereare several democratic aspirants in the field for mayor, and the usual button-holing, wire-pulling, etc.,is going on ata lively rate. But a novel thing is a catch-vote circular re- cefitly circulated by one of these aspirants. It ix difficult to say Which is the more extraordi- nary, the ixsuing of such a document, or its re- markable contents, In thia circular a platform representing the individual opinions—they can never amount to more than this—ofthe would- be mayor is laid out. Some of the plans of this platform will bear (?) handling. One plank favors free burial in our eeme- terier. Under the present system $3 and $5 are charged respectively for digging smal} and large graves, and the town buries all pauper. This charge is made tu help defray the expense ofasexton. Why semove this charge from those who, in the great majority of cases, are well able to pay it, and jnerease the public taxes in the hire of a sexton? to say nathing of the dilapidation that must ensue in these graveyards under the proposed change. Another plank favors the nuisance of so- called public wells—the taxing of the public to supply water to those well abje to supply themselyes ‘The system of public wells is an outrage, as any one who will examine a little into the matter can plainly see, and should be abolished at once. It costs our citizens hun- dreds of dollars every ‘year to supply a few families in water. Let those who use the atreet wells keepthem in repair. A very thin plank calls for free hearses. Why not free coffins also? There is no law allowing the expenditure of public money for this purpoee. Another plank calla for a graded school. Every good citizen wishes we had one, but nothing can be done now without a special act of the Legislature. But the most absurdly contradictory plank calls for low taxes and economical expendit- ures, What! Tax the town two or three hun- dred dollars more to dig graves free, tax the people five or six haidnes dollars to keep u wells for individuals—for lees than one-eight of our citizens—pay large sums for hearses and schools, and talk of economy / Bosh. It is then coolly intimated that the atreets need the attention of some ene more compe- tent to the task than all former officers. And winds up with an attack on the convention— calling it a dodge by which weak men are for ced on an unwilling people. This cry of lat- has become very fashionable with weak men, who threaten the party with division and de feat for selfish ends, In view uf the fact that the next mayor of Salisbury may be a Repub- Tican, as well as the importance of being or- ganized for the grand fight of ’80, it is neces- sary that a convention be held and candidates properly pnt out.

O! the bitter shame and sorrow, That a time could ever be When J let the Saviour's pity Plead jo vain, gud proudly answered, ‘YAH of self, and none of Thee.” Yet He found me—I beheld Him Bleeding on the cursed tree: Heard Him pray, “Forgive them, Father!” Aud wy wistful heart said faintly, 4+Sone of self, and some of Thee.” Day by day His tender mercy, Healing, helping, full ang free, Sweet ang strong, and ah, so patient! Brought me lower, while I whispered, ‘‘Less of self, and more of Thee.” Higher than the highest heavens, Deeper than the deepest sea, Lord, thy love at last hath conquered ; Grant me now my soal’s desire, , “None of self, and all of Thee.” a The Democratic majority in Coggress don’t seem to hurt Government finances, however much bad men and speculating politicians may be disappointed. The bal- ance of the $400,000,000 of 4 per cent U. 8. Bonds ($40,000,000) were all sold last week to the Bank of Commerce of New York at one iq.

Of course if he does not know how to reason like a sound logician, he must be allowed to use such weapons as he has in his ar- mory, although they may have been long since discarded from the arena of digni- tied controversy. But the most remark- able featare is that he asks us to take his unsupported assertions as proof. And these assertions no intelligent reader will ever charge with ‘tameness.” On the wildest kind. even distinguishes intemperance from sin, thus separating the species from the ge- eenus and another of the species. It is sin, original sin, according to David and Paul, he argues, that produces the evil, and not the sale and use of liquor! Shade of Aristotle, what logic! Just as if any one shoald say, ‘It isn’t the copper head, and the cobra, that kill by their poisonous bite, but it is snakes ! And further, More Anon did not say that moral suasion, aud the sweat influ- ences of the gospel were objectionable as aremedy for intemperance, but objec- tionable when relicd op as the only rem- edy. And there is) po nation under heaven that thinks of adopting moral suasion, and gospel iufluences as the only preventive of crime. These precious in- Huences are effective upon the hearts that are opened to this gracious power, but many Will not heed them. Even Moses, atter giving the moral law for universal use, added the judicial code, or civil law, With its penalties annexed, for the use of the connmmonwealih. The Christian world has had to refute many arguments alleg- ed against the.power of prayer, but the most earnest advocate of prayer has never & leged that all that was necessay to pre- vent crime in society was to pray against it. Even George Muller, powerful as he has been through the agency of prayer, in madntaining his orphan asylum, would hardly undertake to prevent crimes in Bristol, without law and a_police-force, by the sole agency of ptayer. And Paul recognizes the sword, in the hand of the civi! magistrate as an clement of legiti- mate goverpinent. And if the licensed sale of Uquors is the cause of unnumbered evils, as we have proved, and will preve other misdemeanors. If the man who tempts another to steal or to murder, and shares the profits of the theft or wurder, is particeps criminis iu law aud in right, how in the name of reason can he be in- nocent who furnishes his dune with the means of drunkenness, and the crimes which accompany it, and at the same tithe shares the profits of the transaction ? Bat Progress thinks that it is enough to punish the crimes that may chance to grow out of whiskey driuking, but not try to hinder the drinking. Aud he in- sists that prohibitory laws are purish- ments to those who drink. There are two satisfactory answers to this assertion. The tirst is that governments, like kiud parents, notonly punish evil, but protect their subjects from evil, aud promote morality and well-doing. It is the pre- rogative of government to remove, as far as possible, the great evils that are likely to endanger morality and wealth and life. It is not therefore a punishment to the drinker, but a removal of temptation from his path, for which many a devotee at the shriae of Bacchus will be devoutly thank- ful. most humane to remove the comm! evil, ‘they ‘have accomplished their baleful purposes. An ounce of preveut- ive is better than a pound of eure. I¢-is better to close the ruin-shop than to pan- ish-the assaults, and murders that may tlow- from it. It is better to cloge the rati-shop than to niaintain the paupers that are made by it.. And as y has to foot the bill of gosts for violenee and crime, and for maintaiving paapers, so- ciety his aright to” interfere im the mat- ter. Every tax-payer is interested iu this matter, and he has a right to protest against, and remove, if he can do sy Jaw- fully, the ivstitutions that double his taxes aud make life and property inse- cure. Besides all this, it is unseriptural, as well as unreasonable, to wait till-the mischief is dove, before applyiag «the remedy. Moses directed that the owner should keep shut up the ox that was wont to pash with his horns ; and if the owner refased to do so, he was held aeeountable for all the damage the pushing ox might do. We know that the liqror-bar is a pushing ox, with a deadly born, and we are pot bound to stand still and see bim push and push, and then panish every one else but .the real author of all the mischief. Ifa showman wonld insist om letting his lions out in the street, we would not wait until they had killed some bedy, before requiring them to be caged. We know that the lion that larks behind the painted screen will devour and destroy, and we have a right to in- sist that he be caged, before he slays any more. We know that crime is increased by the sale of liquer, and that fortanes are ruined, a.d families beggared by it. We know still further that) prohibition has successfully mitigated the evils of in- temperance, aud we therefore desire the blessings of prohibition. But the most astonishing part of all is the mortal terror of Progress lest the “Old Paritan Laws” should be re-enact- ed. He entirely forgets that the “Old Paritan Laws” are largely a myth, unsas- tained by apy reputavle historian, and that so far as they arenota myth, they are the spiritofthe l7thcentury. The Puritans simply re-enacted, as against others, the laws under which they suffered in Eug- land. What wonder that the victims of Bonner and Laud, of Claverhouse and Taylor in Old) England, should) procect themselves from their old) enemies by laws of siuular spirit, in New England ? But who dreams that the 17th eeuvtury spirit can be transfused into the 19th ? But surely Progress ought to Know that the fabled “Blue Laws of Connecticut” pever had any existence, except in the Imagination of caricaturists, and those Who have beev credulons enough to be their dupes. Jadge Smith in his supple- mentary History of New York says there never was such a code in existence. It is sid that some of those laws that now pass current as ‘Blue Laws” were writ- ten for the purpose of deriding the laws of Connecticut, which were indeed some- what rigorous, but never inhuman. The historian Bancroft speaks in the highest terms of the laws of Connecticut, and the happiness and prosperity that prevailed wuder their beneticent sway. And it seems that it was after New Eneland discarded her so-called “Blue Laws” that she became troublesome to her neighbors. It appears that Progress has yet to learn the nature of civil liberty, and its distinction from unlimited license. Dr. Paley, in his work on Political Philos- being restrained by any law but what conduces iu a greater degree to the pub- lic welfare. To do what we will ural liberty. sistently with the interests of the com- munity to which we belong, is civil liberty.” Natural liberty must always community. Jeremy Bentham has well phrased it when he said that the greatest judged, And so a passenger from an infected region caunot be allowed to en- ter his home or native city at pleasure, but is quarantined, and confined if: nec- essary ina lazaretto, till the dauger is over, and no one thinks that his civil liberty has been invaded. In the same way, if the saloon-keeper spreads moral contagion, and erime abroad, it is both right and Christiau to abridge his natural liberty, close up his saloon, and allow him to direct his energies to some more useful occupation, = Co-ercion, even the co- ercion of a prison, is not incompatible with civil liberty and civil rights. to be hoped therefore that the qvalitied voters of Rowan will not be deterred from exercising their rights at the ballot box to close up the liquor traffic; of course some one will ery “persecution,” ‘u itanism,” “bigotry,” and ask your sympathy for the poor perseeuted martyr, the rum-seller. But there is no invasion of his rights, since he can have no right to lead bis neighbors ifto temptation, or sell thean the wretched spirits that steal away their brains, transform them into idiots, brutes or demons, and send them home to scatter wretchedness and woe among those they are bound to love and cherish. But before adducing the aditional ev- idence, let us pet Whiskey selling is an evil. The reason is that men will have it any how, license tion does not lessen the drinking, that I wish to adduce additional The witness is Chief Justice Noah Davis, of New York, whose character and posi- tion are a sufficient guarantee of his trathtulness and accuracy. He is neither a “temperance howler” por “temperance fanatic,” nor wandering temperance lec- noteven a “Puritan,” bat a Judge of high character, large experience and un- impeachable honesty. In a recent ad- dress he said, ‘Among all the causes of erime intemperance siands out the unap- proachable chief.” Speaking on the ben- etits of Prohibition he said : “The relation of temperance to crime is a's) plainly maniist where drunkenness _ is repressed by pariial, or complete prohibi- tion. The cases of towns and villages where, by the arrangment of their founders, no liquors or intoxicating drinks have been allowed to be sold, furnish strong evidence. Vineland, with its 10,000 people, without a grog shop, and with a police force of one constable who is also overseer of the poor (with a salary: for both offices of $75), re- ports in some years a single crime, and a poor rate swelling to the aggregate otf four dollars a yesr. Greeley in Colorado, is an- other town of 3,000 people, and no liquor shop. It neitheruses nor needs a police torce, and intwo years and a half, seven dollars only was called out of its poor fund. Ba- varia, Illinois, a town of the same popula- tion, with absolute prohibition, was with- out a drunkard, without a pauper, and with- out acrime. In Maine, under prohibitory law, the convictions for crime in .1870 were oda ada ophy, says that “Civil Liberty is the not | Is bate | To do what we will, con- | vield to the interests of the mass of the | good of the greatest: number is the crite- | rion by which our civil conduet is to be) ‘in danger of being hanged fora wizard It is | = have diminishéd 75 t.

And who does not see that.the measure of peace depends upon the vigilance with which the police enforce the statute?” But volumes cannot contain all the testimony that might be collected setting forth the benefits of Prohibition. The question is assaming vast proportions, and is met with on all sides. In fact a large part of our country is already shingled over with prohibitions, in great- er or less circles around colleges, acad- emies and charches. It.is only a question of time. But it is too late to enter npon a new phaze of this subject in this paper, and so we will wait for | MorE ANON. For the Watchman. THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION. Mr. Epitor,—Allow me to return thanks to “Judex,” “Stranger,” and ‘Hap- i py Girl,” for compliments they have seen tit to pay Progress for his feeble efforts to uphold what he regards as a great princi- ple of vight. Progress feels as great an interest in the welfare of his fellowmen as any temperance reformer.gan. He has ever been au advoeate of thd utmeas 1B erty and in favor of the exervise of tv human prerogative consistent wid go smorals, social enjoyment, and the mands of well ordered society. He cod not, therefore, favor any scheme tliat could by any possibility, iu his judgmeiit, redown to the oppression of any one. He has very near friends aud dear childyen who look to lim for counsel aud guidance, and he would fear to deliberately impress hupon them by word or deed anything, d6e- trine, tenet or creed that might effect iagn- riously, their physical or social goodjor their temporal or spiritual peace. Tsay tyis much in auswer to the sneers of thése self-righteous temperance reformers who seem to imagine that every one who ep- poses them, is actuated by selfish, sinftl, or dishonest motives. “More Anon” opens his third sermon on the temperance question thus :—‘the friends of license have begun to €all names and attempt by force of mere as- sertion to contradict statements made on the most reliable wuthority.” In this. he is most sadly mistaken. He has done Jit- tle clse sivee he began to preach exéépt to endorse the most reckless assertialis : | have branded them as such, and it de- volves upon him-to bring the proof, which lhe has not vet done or promised to dow. If jhe has yet brought forth the first state- }ment founded upon authority Worth the | paper on which he aunounced it, I must confess, with all deference, I have not jseen it. He has not brought forward a i singlecauthority sustaining his cause that would stand in acourt of law. He has simply gone blundering about here and ‘there, like a big bug ina closed-lighted ‘room at night, tapping a State, a connty, Fa township ora town, not by aecident merely, but on purpose, in looking for a toadstool on which to rest one of those (statements made on the most. reliable authority.” And in all this broad land of States, and counties, and townships, and | towns he has found about one half dozen, altogether, which have-been improved by | prohibition, according to this same “re- ‘liable autherity.” Now. this “reliable au- thority” is ex parte. It is made generally by those who are monomaniacs on thesub- ject of temperance reform and who are no more “rehable” than those who lived du- ving the fearful reign of New Eughind witchcraft, when every man who weuld not swear that he sawan old wo nen riding breom-sticks a mile high in fie air, was himself. Never since Noah, the son of Lamech, jenjoyed his mellow slumber beneath the jample folds of his antique tent, spread out on the beautiful, deluge-washed, and his- toric plains of Armenia, were such @p ar- ray of mere words and ee positions jumbled together to force down the throats of meu despicable doginag and repulsive measures of reform and danbt- ful human amelioration, as those to be found io the last sermou of More Anon on this relic of medigval ages, coercive tem- perauce refurm: And these he dignities in a previous article, facts and figures. First, he takes up the case of Salisbury when the Five Gallon Law was in force here.

How meek! how submissive! 1] do not think it said to have been etfected by the puritan- ical measure. It was not an uncommon thing, but rather the practice of all dis- posed to dissipate, on the Sabbath and of liquor from the “ivfan ous dens, just outside the town limits,” perhaps, and re- tire to the cedar and pine groves just out- side of town, or to some secluded house or rooin inside, and then card playing, low jest and revelry ruled the hour. Such scenes are not to be witnessed in Salisbu- ry now under the well regulated system of licensing bar-rooms. Hf not, then the good was done after the iaw was repealed. Next, it is denied ‘that prohibition in- creases drunkenness and tempts men to break the law.” if the liberal-minded and liberty-loving were as simple as the disinterested and pure local optionists would have us believe, this untenable and recklessassertion might beswallowed. But lets see: Why do men violate the Inter- nal Revenue laws? Why do men ever try to evade any law? Mainly because it is regarded as harsh and oppressive. It is man’s nature to resist what he cousiders an encroachment upon his rights, and he wili face danger and death, even, to grat- ify his appetite and desires, if for no oth- er reason than to show his contempt of one for every 1,689 population, while in our But furthermore it is always best and own State during the same time, the aver- s | v4 }wonld do all that Baryem, agreed to do, age was one-in 620.

Every one kuows that the disorders at Gold Hill twenty-tive years ago arose, not from the fuet ‘that whisky was sold there, but from a miscellaneous and un- congenial population that had gathered there as fortane seekers. and golkd-aminers, and that the effeets of time and the iufla- ence of the gospel (for the world improves day by day wherever its gentle influence is brought to bear), have been the means of the improvement which is to be observed there now, and not local option. 3 Third, Newton, a town never addicted to whisky drinking is set iw evidence as a town enjoying the coercive ‘blessings of local option, but liberal-minded men and citizens there say that there is.as magh drinking as ever, and no revenue accru- ing to the State or town. ourth, A big thing is attempted to be made out of Northampton county whose population is set down at 14,000— 8,000 negroes and 6,000 whites. Local option has been in force in this county 2 or 3 years, and it is stated that the coun- ty expenses have been reduce oue-balf in tive years. When we remember what fearful extravagance prevailed in all those counties where the Republican element predominated, after the war, and until the Democracy put checks upon the reigns of the rule and rain and plundering mem- bers of the Republican party, we have a key that explains the reduction.of coun- ty expenses throughoat the State. I sup- pose that [ might assert that there is not « county in the State where the expenses have not been greatly reduced, and in very many, cut down one-half withiu the last five years. This reduction iv county and other expenses is not to be attributed to fanatical temperance measures, but to a change in the rule of parties, to the re- storation of order by the inauguration of good and kind government, and the in- crease of moral sentiment and religious influences. \ Next, other instances are given from abroad, and on the “statements of this same most reliable authority,” they are set forth as convincing evideuce that the adoption of this second edition of the old Blue Laws will make wen quit drinking : and it requires a ramble over the whole territory of our country to draw up four? cases, It seems to ine that I can give a greater number of plices where people are equally sober, and happy, aud virtu- ous without the ase, or even the knowl- cdge of foree measures to make them so. The first instance given is a county in hinois. In that county, according to the rehable authority of a seetarian pa- per paragraph, there are comparatively ho pauipers, no criminals in jail, and taxes very low, all the resnit of having ho li- censed liquor saloons, (?)thoagh the people there can get whisky, if they choose. Another instance cited, on the authority of a religious paper, is a county in Ken- tucky. According to that paper, at the time the editor wrote, there) was but one criminal in jail, &e., because local option was enforced one year before. There are many times that hundreds of counties have but.one crimival in jail Even in whisky diinking North Carolina it often happens. It has happened in Rowan and there was no prohibition law in op- cration either. Another avgament in favorv of prohibition is based on the declaration of the Prince of Huambnugs, Mr. Barnum, It seems that he said in Philadelphia thatif they wonld give him all the money spent for drink in that city, he would pay all the taxes, the police, the expenses of courts, &c., &e. If they would give me one half the money spent there for tobacco, cigars and_gnuff, I eld up asa place ed by local option, endower every college in North Carolina besides, and still be rieh, Some men spend their money for whisky, others for dress, others for tobacco, others for pleasure, and so on, and have they not a right to do so? without being continual- ly upbraided by fanatics and fools ? Next, along homily of words is given on the Maine liquor law from one Dr. Ham- ling, Who seems to be a doubled ved fa- nuti¢, and like all su dh Tejoicés over the fact that five menhadeén pnt fu jail ap there for selling liqnor, The tyranny, the evils, and failures of the law in that State Lave been go frequently. exposed and denouvced by these whe were not fauaties, that it will be hard te make the well posted reader believe there is any good in Maine or her Puritan laws. These unsatisfactory —L was about to say worthless—instanees are held up as proof that coercive measures are more effective in correcting ucknowledged evils thau the gentle influences of the gospel. None, [ hardly think, but the dogmatic pharisee and blinded fanatic anil bigot can think so. Next, after dodging my argument iu favor of putting down all the great evils of the day,-by-kind.measares, charity.amd love, and the geutle influences of religion, More Anoa “vaults” to* the conclusion that the proper way to_aaswer me is by ridicule, and thererpoér= proceeds to “re- duce my ergument to what he calls a svllogism. But iu this, as in eyerything else, he fails, for bis proposition is com- posed of the sylly, while the gisin is left out. Now, I appeal to the deliberate judg- ment of an unprejudiced and liberal public to bear me out iu the assertion that the advocates of local option throngh the Watchman, have vot only failed to meet or refute my arguments in favor of mild and Christian measures to correct evils, bunt they ‘have given us nothing pew. They seem content to repeat the same old worn out arguments in favor of force. They try to impress the public mind with the idea that there is a higher law,a law ever and above the Bible, a more po- tent foree than the New Testament Scrip- tures and the example and_ teachings of the Saviour, necessary fur the correction of evils, for the prosperity and happiness of society, and the preservation of social order... They forget this is an enlighten- edand Christian age; they forget that proscription is a relict of barbarism ; they forget that the shackles are fast falling from men’s limbs and cousciences ; they forget that the time is rapidly approach- ing when the bands will be burst from the Christian conscience and the Chris- tian inteNect, and there will no longer be proscription for opinion’s sake, or the de- vial of free thought, or free speech, even within the precincts of a creed. those who would deprive him of them.

Then, why do intelligent men talk of them now ? Jesus proclaims that human virtue in its foundation and essence ik represented. by one word—love ; love to God..and man ; not a mere emotion, says Young, effemi- nate and ennervating, a sign and a cause “ weakness, but an enlightened, mascu- ine, rights of God, and tv the trae interests of our fellow beings. He proclaims that this is the end of rational existence, the dignity, strength, and joy ‘of the rational nature. This end reached, man is God- like, a partaker of Divine nature, re- created in the image of his Father. Further, as has been “most eloqnently said, neither the Talmud nor the Koran, nor any other doctrive ever promulgated by the moath of man, is 90 replete in mild- ess and mérey, so full of grandeur and glory, of subliniity ‘wid song, aa that whieh our Lord aud Saviour gave to a dying world.

Its influence, what telescopic eye ean foresee, what human intelligence recapitulate? From — the great and gloonty though glorions era, when the Saviour cme to redeem a fallen world, it has swayed the minds of men, and its influence will coutiuue over mil- lions of men unborn. Until something more sublime, sumething more consoling and conciliatory, can be sudstituted in the place of the annibilating philosophy of infidelity, let the ancient aud venera- ble temple of Christianity still tower over the fallen pyramids of pagan supersti- tion, the safeguard of morals and the harbinger of hope and happiness here- after. Mr. Editor, in conclusion, allow me to pay my respects to Uncle Joshua, by ex- pressing the hope that he will continue to give us his pointed aud sensible views on the temperance question. \ PROGRESS. ae For the Watchman. Temperance and the Metempsychosis of Progress and Nimrod Jr. Since Progress will have it, that Nim- 'roddr.is not only au ass, but Balaaui’s ABS, | I admit the fact, for the nonce; and re- | quest those who read to hold this article ‘in one hand, and their Bibles open at the | 22d chapter of Numbers in the other, aud compare the two.

If Progress complain that this is sacrileg- ions, let him remember that it comes on- ly from the mouth of his irresponsible doukey, aud that himself led the honest beast into the irrisistible temptation to adopt this method of biting off his head in a good cause. “Beware of entrance to a quarrel ; but, being in, bear it that the opposer may beware of thee,” is my otto. It seems strange that we should have met in the plains of Moab, B.C. 1,452, and again in the plains of Rowan, A. D. 1879. But as some say, false prophets aud donkeys never die; avd as “history repeats itself,” it is not very romantica The donkey had the advantage of Ba- laam in several particulars, viz : 1. The donkey was not bribed—Balaam was. 2. The donkey was safe in the angel's presence—Balaam wasn’t. 3. The donkey was wise—Balaam was not. . 4. The donkey could see—Balaam was blind. 5. The donkey feared the Lord’s anger —Balaam didn’t. 6. The donkey kept her temper—Ba- laam didn’t. 7. The donkey dicn’t get her foot crushed—Balaam did. 8. The donkey didn’t need conversion —Balaam did. 9. The donkey didu’t “metamorphose” —Balaam did. 10. The donkey did not wish to prosti- tute her oftice—Balaam did. 11. The donkey saved -Balaam’s life— Balaam wanted to kill her for it. 12. The donkey reasoned—Balaam rared. 13. The donkey did not wish to cnrse those whom God had blessed—Balaam did. 14. The donkey could not be forced against he will to do wrrong—Balaan was forced against his will to do right! If Balaaw had the advantage of the donkey in anything, let Progress show if he can. Now to the paraphrase. And the Prohibitionists set forward and pitched in the plains of Rowan on this side the Yadkin by Salisbury. 2. And the Tapsters and Tipplers, sous of Bacchus, saw all that the Prohibition- ists had done to the Guilfordites and other tribes. 3. And the License men were sore afraid of the people because they were many : and the License men were distressed be- cause of the Prohibitionists. 4. And the Liquor dealers said one to another, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And the Liquor dealers were kings of the ‘Lip- plers at that time. 5. They sent messengers therefore to Progress, the sou of Boreas, to his home, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from the land of bondage: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against us: 6. Come now therefore, we pray thee, curse for us this people; for they are too mighty for “us: peradvepture we shail prevail, that we may smite them, and that we may drive them out of the land; for we wot that whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is CURSED. 7. Aud the chief men of the Liquor dealérs and of the tipplers departed with the rewards of divination in their hand ; and they came unto Progress aud spake uato him the words of the liquor dealers. e * * * * * 21. And Progress rose up in the morn- ing and mounted Nimrod Jr. and went with the princes of the liquor dealers. 22.

THE BLUE LAWS. | | The recent alHusions of “Progress” in the Watchman, to the so-call Blue Laws of Connecticut, set me to work to exhume from a file of papers an ar- ticle on that subject, which I found in a copy of the Philadelphia Presbyteri- t the very bottom of the file, and an, & which isappended for perusal and re- flection. I have looked over it with , view of eviscerating all reference to any of the denominations of Christians mentioned in it, but as these seem to be handled with about equal justice, DHE or rather injustice, if you please; and as the unity and perspicuity of the ar- ticle would be much impaired by so doing ; and as my object is, without taking part in the contest in) which ‘Progress’ 13 engaged, to vindicate the truth of history, in regard to the Jaws in question, which not only the Presbyterian, but well informed men everywhere now regard as never hav- ing ‘nd an existence, as a code, I have concluded to submit the article asa whole, believing that many may, in this way, become better informed, notwithstanding they fail to become | io wiser | “pHE BLUE LAWS OF CONNECTICUT,’ The “Blne Laws” of Connecticut form anever failing subject of dis- | cussion, They have been flangin the | face of the Puritans whenever noth. | ing more convenient or more weigh- | ty was at hand.

Where- upon a knight appears on the Episco- pal side, and republishes “Rev.

He tucked up his coat sleeves, brandished a puir of brawny fists, and acted as though he wanted to fight avy man who insinuated that there were not plenty of leyal Union men in the war. He talked about the giorious Union and the boys io blue. Gen. Bragg then said that he wanted the Southern claims comniission abutished to preveut the government from paying debts that it had no busivess to pay, aud to prevent the Republicans from asing the cry of rebel claims as a prelude to interesting campaign documents. He called upon the Republicans to come to the front and face the music. They had ; secreted themselves behind the cloak of loyalty long enough.

Ap account of the debate is also tele- graphed from Washington to the Rich- mond Dispatch. As this is substantially, however, the same as the aboye, we copy only a sentence or tavo from it : Mr. Russell, Republican, of North Car- olina, went into a highfaluten defence of the Union meu of the South, when Gen. Ward, of Ohio, asked him if he proposed to pay for the property which he, as a Confederate soldier, helped to destroy, and he replied, ‘Yes; I was in the Con- tederate army, and I have no apology to make for it, either.” The Republicans, who had been applauding, seemed to have suddenly swallowed something sear. The whole tenor of the above dis- patches goes to show that the alder mem- vers took an unfair advantage of Mr. Russell’s youth and indescretion, and got him down and stack their tingers in his eyes. This was not only very bad on Mr. Russell, but his awkward position mortities his North Caroliua admirers ; and even this is not the worst of it, but from pressed closely, he reiterated his old Con- federate sentiments, thereby shocking and scandalizing his brother Republicans on the floor. In every point of view it was a most unfortunate day for Mr. Russell. If, to, quote the Irishman, “he can never open his mouth without putting his foot in it,” he had best come home and doctor his horses and mules, all of which are down with the epizootic. ee THE ARMY IN THE SENATE. SPEECHES BY BLAINE, WITHERS AND WALLACE. The Greenbackers rauded of Their Morn- ing Hour in the House—A Lesolution Against General Legislation De- Seated. WASHINGTON, April 14.—SENATE.—The Senate, after the usual morning business, resumed the consideration of the army appropriation bill, and Blaine proceeded to address the Senate. He said the Democrats, instead of striking out the eight words offensive to them, viz: ‘Or to keep the peace at the polls,” repealed the whole section of which those words were a part, and then re- evuacted it, thinking to get credit for origivating it; but this law was passed in time of war and signed by Lincoln when he hada willion men under bis control and could have controlled elec- tious without any such aid. The purpose of the law was to insure fairness in’ the elections, and the Democrats now bear witness to its fitness for that purpose by trying to re-enact it. He derided the idea of wilitary interference, and said there were only 2,797 soldiers vast of Omaha, and only 1,155 in the Seuthern States —about 70 to every million people. The Democratic cry of military despo- tism would injure the standing of the country abroad, but a European woald laugh at it if he kuew there was only one soldier to every seven hundred square miles of territory in the Seuth. This was not the real issue. ‘The ulterior purpose of the other side was to prevent the gen- eral government from being represeuted by its civil officers at elections in which it was specinlly interested, and over which the constitution gives it full cou- trol. He would not profess to know what the President would do when these bills came to him, but it seemed to him that the dead heroes of the Union would rise from their graves if he should cousent to be intimidated and outraged in his pro- per constitutional power by threats like these. The appropriate respense from his lips would be, “Is thy servaut a dog that he should do this thing 7” Withers, of Virginia, said Blaine’s re- marks would not produce much effect ou either the Senate or the country. It was not a questicu to be decided whether there are soldriers enough to dominate control elections, bat whether, ander the operations of existing laws, it was not possible for theexecutive to distrib- ute and use the soldiery so as to destroy the freedom of ae Ae = not to confront a present ger ba remove from the sfcoset or any futare President the temptation the existing law would offer to destroy the liberties of the coun- try and erect on the ruins of the repab- lic a despotism supported by arms. He ls was incompatible with free govern- meut, aad this was the priucipleou which the pending bill was based. The Dem- ocrats did not ,,topose to shape their course as to what may or may not be the posi- tion of the President. He should not at- tempt to take away a particle of the spi- wal marrow attempted te be given to the President by the Senator from Mainve. He would uot interfere with any ageney to infuse strength to his spinal cord. The debate was closed by Wallace, of Pennsylvania, who declared that the single issue in this bill is, shall the executive louger possess the power to place troops at the polls. Their presence is'a menace upon the right ‘of free elections. This right is tixed and certain. It comes to us from England, and is part of our SYs- tem of laws. Its protection rests with the States and the Federal government, has nothing to do with it. After an argument of considerable length the Senators closed by saying that this legislation places a check on the military power in the interest of the peo- ple. We must restore the original prin- ; ciples from which four years of War have : diverted the goverument.; bring the mili- tary to strict subordination to the civil power; permit a free system of laws, to be based upon free ballot, and expunge a standing menace upun tree institutions. — ~~ Democratic Policy. Alexander H. Stephens still lives. He thus paragraphs the Democratic policy in a resolution submitted by him to the Democratic caucus : Reso_vep, That the aims and objects of the Democracy of the United States, as far as we, chosen by them as members of the present House of Representatives, are entitled to be considered as the truc exponents of those aims and objects, are directed with a singleness of purpose to the restoration of constitutional liberty, and with it the restoration of peace, harmony and prosperity throughout the length and breath of the land. They abjure the renewal of sectional strite. They accept all the legitimate results of the lameuted war. They are utterly op- posed to the revival in this country or apy part thereof of African slavery or any other kind of slavery or involuntary servitude,, except as a punishment for crime. They stand pledged to maintain the union of the States nuder the consti- tution with all its existing amendments as they shall be expounded by the Su- preme Court of the United States.

They are tor a free ballot, as well as for a fair and just count. While they are opposed toa large standing army, as were the framers of the constitution, yet they are for keeping the army safii- ciently large to repel invasion, detend our extensive frontier as well as all neces- sury interior forts aud garrisons, and so enable the President to put down domes- tic violence or insurrection in any of the | states, and in aid of civil officers as a posse comitatus in the execution of legal process iu pursuance of the Constitution, and as provided in the acts of Congress of 1795 and 1807.

As affording another breath of life to the old issues, it is welcomed with great eu- thusiasm, and to magnify its political effect, both Chaudlers, Gorhaw, Haulin and Windon organize a “Natioual Emi- gration Aid Suciety.” Bob Ingersoll gives one thousand dollars and half bis income for tive years fur the refugees and Zach Chandler wants ove hundred of them ou his farm in Miecbigan. The Dallas aud Wichita railroad employs a ‘National Farmers’ Association” at Bosto to cirea- late inflamatory documents among the begroes of the South, dwelling upon tie private and political despotism of their present condition, and presenting as aa altervative a settlement ou the company s lands iv Texas, where they have twelve thousand eight hundred acres for sale at ove doliar and a half per acre.

They are in a most destitute condi- tion. During the past few days it has been impossible for them to procure any place of abode. The churches and public halls are filled. The ex- posure to which these homeless immi- grants are subjected is great, Many are in a helpless condition—sick from exposure, worn out and hungry—and many are dying. Mr. Shelly, the mayor of Kaneas City, has telegraphed the Secretary of War, asking for aid from the United States Government, that an order may be sent to issue rations to these starving darkies from Fort Leaven- worth, Kansas. The Secretary replied that he had no authority to issue sach an order.—He advised that’ spplica- tion be made to Congress, now in ses- sion; that it was exclusively « mat- ter for the jurisdiction of Con A committee on the part of the citi- zens of Wyandotte has been formed to look after the sufferers, and have issued a call to the citizens of the United States for immediate aid to re- lieve their terrible suffering. The committee further state that there are 1700 entirely destitute already in the city, and thousands more in the same condition are on the way and i for immediate assistance. All i- butions should be addressed to North- rup & Sons, bankers, Treasurers of the Executive Committee, STENOGRAPHY.—In sten hy it is generally conceded qiae Acpeet! caus take the lead. The ional reporters at Washington are the best that write the English la Some of them have held their A ve tions for over twenty years. ay exciting scenes in Congress have photographed, as it were, by those men. It is interesting to watch one of them at work, with his arm exten- ded, and only his fingers 1g on the paper, he actually writes from the shoulder. Cool in the beat of debate he seems hardly ever to look at the paper before him. His eye about the vast auditorium closely watching every man’s movements, while he snatches the words as fast as they flow from the speaker’s lipe, occasionally stopping to piok an unanswered interruption, and Near catching up again with ease.

But Jet it not be imagi.ed fora moment that anybody who learns short hand can do this. Expert stenographers have al- ways been, and probably always will be, extremely rare. eee AFTER Many Days,—The jurors who served the Inferior Court last week got cash for theirservices imme- diately after their tickets were issued. It seemed to do our Democratic sher- iff good to pay the jurors. It was something unknown to jurymen to get cash for their tickets when the county was under Radical rule.

Society owes to itself the duty of _self- preservation ; nay more, society is bound to protect itself. It must move through forms of law, but it must lay the strong hand of that law upon those who in any wise seek to corrupt it.

Does not every one know that drankenness makes many men blackguards, and ready ty de- lage society with foul speech? It was hot a year since a quiet minister riding peaceably into town one Saterday evening Was accosted three times-iu a-rade avd boisterous manner by intoxicated persons; and it was only last Saturday evening that a couple of gentlemen riding * into town were accosted in the same insulting wanner, by ope who was in compauy with women, perhaps his wife and daughters, who no doadvt blushed for the poor be- sotted fellow. Similar seenees, frequent- ly occur on every road leading from our town, on the evening of a public. day. | But that is not all. Scenes of vivleuce occur on our streets, and affrays happen, lin which the public mast pay the costs, | because the disorderly ones are uot able ,todo it. In this case every tax-payer jought to have a voice in the matter, be- | cause every tax-payer has to shoulder his | part of the expense. And in case of mur- ders or homicides, which frequently re- j sult from these drunken brawls, the hexpeuse swells ap to thousands of dollars, 'Now, grant that you have no right to in- 'terfere with the drinking man, until he (has committed some overt actin iolpgé jot law, society may tagn tgom this tec , of the case to the neneaab featu j regulate trade is) one oof the sp ‘functions of government. And whene jit has been found that any species off trattic, or dealing in) commodities, is in- )Jatious to the public welfare, the govern- nent may justly put down that species of traffic. No sound ethical writer doubt that China had the inherent right to ex ‘clude the opium of the East Indian Eng lish from her ports, and that it was a j outrage to force the vile drag on an un, | willing people. |; And now to show that the moral sen of the whole comiunity regards the trafe, fie in ardent spirits as an evil, we have / only to remember that it requires a licensé ito sell it. While any man may trade in icandy and potatoes, tobacco and calico | without proving a good character, th law forbids all) persons from retailing spirituous liquors, except those who prove a good moral character and pay ina ieavy license fee. This shows that so- | ciety regards the unlimited sale of liquors asanevil. It must be kept downy an coutined to.a few places. Tt mit be hemmed in and its curse ust be ¢iveun- scribed as narrowly as possible! They very license law itself speaks ‘in unerring tones, declaring that is an evil. The on ly wonder is, that when society went ha way and restricted the matter, it did net go all the way, and prohibit the matter altogether ! ae But there is another feature that shows what the sentiments of onr people are upou the subject. On eleetion days the bar-rooms are closed up. It is deemed light that when men are about to exer- )cise the most sacred rights of ft eemen, ithe bar-keepers should not have the right ) to tamper with their wits. Of course this fis vight. But if retailing spirits isa | profitable and) proper business on eom- hinoh days, it would seem to be a great ;pity not to allow the venders to ply their trade ou these public days, when they could make so much money © Poor wen!! Lhe dry gouds amd hardwaye | men ean self their Wares on election days, | but the unfortanate salagn-kecper must ‘shut up shop. Now if Sit is a curse on election days it is a curse on all days. Men need their wits at all times. Another significant fact is that the Legislature readily agrees to prohibit the sale of liquors in the neighborhood of churches, academies, colleges, ete., aid at the same time makes it a misdemeanot ito sell intoxicating Liquors to minofey |The moral sense of the community bears | this cheerfully, and approves it.

Of course Salisbuty charehes, wad Salisbury seminaries, and Salisbury fam- liesautstahave no protection!!! It would be an infringement of the rights of Salis- | bury saloon-keepers !! Another faet is, that it is made unlaw- ful to retail spirits within= two mnitescof ‘any place where there is public political lspeaking. Wearea free people and we ought to have a chance to discuss freely the great questions of our government, and its policy. But retailing tiqgor would have a damaging effect upon’ a politieat discussion, and it must therefore be pro- hibited. The mind must be clear and there must be vadrunkeu brawls on these days. Se tar so geod. Bat is it not queer that society will tolerate at aJI a prachice that is a prohibited curse aaron couutry churches and academies; that is prohibited on eleetion days and days of public discussion, that is forbidden to miibors, and that must vot ‘be furnished on Sunday ? We trust the moral sense of the community will goon. It is said that there is a part of a pig which a de- vout Mussulman must not eat, but the part is not specified. So some one says that it is the head that is prohibited, and some say the tail,—and some one, and some another part. Bat in the aggregate, taking society at large, the whole pig is excluded. In a few more years it 18 % be hoped that this partial and leeal ptohi- bition will swell into a univereal probi- bition. . But there is a serious objection te the ticensed sale of liquors, because of its ex- travagance. It is said that there is about sixty-five drinks in a gallon of of whiskey. Buying the whiskey at one dollar and a half a gallon and selling it at ten cents a drink, the retailer will make five dollars of profit on each gallon. It has been proposed that every mau should make his wife bis retailer, and set her up in business by buying her a gallon of whiskey and a half gill measure, and pay her ten cents a drink. In this case the more a man would drink the more money his wise would make.

From ex- perience and the ample opportunities of long, wide and varied observation, none can expatiate more ef- fectually and feelingly than myself on the evils of luteunperance ; Dut as mere personal privity is often inadussable and always used sparingly in broad debate, I wilt only present and indorse the evidence of two notables, the first {s Charles Lamb; he wrote “Lhe waters have gone overme: but out of the black depths, could I be heard, I would cry out to all who have set fyot inthe perilous food. Could the youth, to wiiémi the first dria ts delicious as the opening scenes of Ht. of the entering tpon’some newly discovored paradise, iook {nto my desolation, and be nade to understand what 2 dreary thing tt is to feel himself going down a precipice with open eyes and a passive will. Could he sce my fevered eye, feverish with last night’s drinking, and know my feverish longing for to-night’s repettlion of the folly: Could he but feel the body of the death out of Which I cry, hourly with feebler outcry, to be deliv- cred,—it Were enough to make him dash the spark- ling beverage to the earth, in all the pride of its mantling temptation.” who says,—*NQ ian nor woinan ts safe who has once formed the fatal habit of looking to ardent spirits fur solace. While the world goes well, we will like- ly be temperate: but the habit is built: the railroad to destruction is made, the rafls are laid down, the station housés erected, and €#e" traifi1s dp-the line, waiting only for the locomotive. Well, the first great trouble or hopeless grief is the locomotive ; it comes to us,—it grapples us, and away we go down the track. we have been for years constructing, like a flash of ightning to the devil.” These two cita- tions amply cover that moderate drinking and con- firmed inebriety which, mark you; @omes of the use of ardent spirits ewly. Crime is lofury to our fellow men: there is no erime nor inter it in the above. These are.the thrilling warningsof great and good men who have suffered, to those who have made no false sfep or are reclaimable. They are not even like some drinkers, so weak and treacherous as to shift the blame of their folly on the shoulders of “vempters.” 7 There are some tempters, but I have not found them ainong the saloon Keepers. They are “spong- ing” drinkers and cunning, calculatiogly sober men, whose nefarious designs can only be accomplished by first making their dupes drunk.

How stupid to preach to the drunkard on the evils of intemper- ance! Has he not an tnfinitely keener sense of these in his Httle dinger, than you have {in your whole, selt-complaéeent and nofsy noddies? Is not his habit a daily and dismal hell to him? It is common for thoughtless people to confound the will or practical ability of a person, with his wishes and aspirations ; and Hepce they infer Shat becausea drunkard wilt | not reform, tre does not wishkta!

The confirmed drunkard never lived who would not gives bis right hand,-to be “out of the tolls.’ Itis not, then, tagniing invective. but the potent magnetisMPor sympathy—that efficactously reaches his deplorable case and empowers his will. The Hocus pocus making of batches of ‘truly good”, people, a presto, would be innocuous, and their own affair, if it were not that they are, at once, en- joined to set about doing good for others. They start out with two packs: one in front stuffed with the faults of their neighbors, which they continual- ly see: the other, filled with their own is swung be- hind and their eyes never rest On it more than they do on the back of their necks: And, as Adam Bede gays, “their tongues are like the clocks asrun on strikin’, not to tell you the time o’ the day, but be- cause there’s summat wrong in their own inside.” These active, seltri us citizens~are dubbed “busy-bodies:*+taé(r-main weaporm is two words, — “they say,”—Wwhich is a poisoned barb that will en- ter the smallest opening in the armor of honesty.

There is but one way Wo arrest drunkenness, which is to stop the manufacture of ardent spirits except inl for the ‘exélusive use of dtuggists and pi¥sictans.

In successful warfare, all the strong- holds of the enemy are not reduced At once, but in detali, without once losing sight of his final and complete overthrow. There is one stronghold thit should be atouce assaulted and carried, which is ‘the enormous duties on foreign wines and liquors. If Satan himself were called on to invent a system Calculated, to create Lhe greatest amount of evil, he could not have devised one more efficient than the enormous duties now levied on foreign wines and | Mquors, | It is well known, that although spirits of ‘the finest quality will céftainiy intoxicate, yet the excitement is comparatively’ harmless when :con- ;trasted with the maddeniag effects of the poisonous compounds now so generally sold as liquor. If it Was possible to eradicate intemperafice by making liquor so costly as to be inaccessible to all but the ‘wealthy, or even-for much revenue accruing, there would appear,some reason for the heavy duties now impgsed; but as little is imported the amount of preveliwe derived does not pay for the collecting, and the direct ang palpable effect is to introduce pvuison- ous substitutes which debase all who use them. I point out onty this oe covert of the enemy, assured that jt will be sufficiently suggestive. As to the worse than inefficacy of ‘local option,” I must re- Serve ny thoughts, observations and “reliable au- thority,” {rom all over the land, till next issue, con- fining myself for the present to a few remarks on lhatfeartul exaggeration of it by the “female cru- saders’’ a few years since in many northern towns. ‘Some good people supposed that ‘those raving women” were mothers, wives, daugliters and gi-ters of drunkards. Now, witha fair knoivledge of our common nature, a clear vista of experience, even the promptings of intuition and a little calm refiec- tlon,—without any statement of facts, this gross de- lusion will be at once Uispelled. Gentle women in the above relationship to drunkards arp, usually, of sad, chastened spirit, who shrink, with innate dell- cacy, from éxposure of this “skeleton in’ théir clos- ets,” and do all they can to conceal] their shame and the weakness of their sti// loved ones.

They drew on themselves very general conteinpt, but as they were women, their outrages were tolerated until beyond endurance, when law stepped in, collected claims for damages ‘and suppressed them. such viragos, tn dtscomfit- ure, send up the wall that ‘‘the world hates piety!!!" LIn touching “local option,” I was obllged to brush against the garments of these praying eulprits, but asIset out to treat intemperance in a rational manner,! will let the Rev’d Sidney Smith reply to these barnacles on true piety. He says, “It is not true that the world hates piety. That modest and anobtrusive piety whieh fills the heart with all hu- nmin eharities, and makes aman gentle to others | and severe to himself, i3 an object ©: untversal love aid veneration. But mankind h tte the !ust of pow- er when it is veiled under thé garb of piety: they | do not choose to be insulted: they love to tear folly and impudence from the altars whic: should only be sanctuaries for the -righteous and the good.” I must draw toaclose. Ihmy next, [ will discuss “local option ;” and as itis assumed by Its advocates that all non-drinkers are good, and thit all who drink any are bad, even to emphasized i isult, I will set up some defense of: those, aumong whom I must be classed, who are the recipicnts of much’ gratnitous solicitude and iasicseons (or ignorant) abpse. 1 will aleo du jussice Ww sas loon keepers, who are not ous lempiers, init on whose devoted heads it stems to be conmidered as, not only fair, but divine, my pour data sg- ured vials of wrathfal and hackaicd contum Ly.

Indeed, of the two, the latter is the morg pil- iable and hopeless ; and is of less good, but | more potent for evil, ‘to society. And yet, from “More Anon’”. solicitude about the mon- ev feature of intemperance, it would appear that, to “get all you can and keep all you get,” bis the summun bonwa of. earthly bliss!. More Anon’s derision of the “blue laws” as fabulous, is fraught with danger to more serious deduc- tiona from. similar data of the ‘‘ongage.” Implicit credence in their authenticity has ex- isted all over the country till now: and very recently they were reproduced in the Boston ; Courier, as a scrap of the bona fide history of | the Editor’s own progenitors, su to speak.

The following pleasant suggestion was made sometime ago by Scribner: “In a certain farm-house twenty years ago a great blank-book was kept and labeled Home Journal. Every night some one made an entry in it. Father sat down the sale of the caves, or mother the cut of baby’s eye tooth; or perhaps Jenny wrote a full account of the sleighing party last night ; or isob the proceedings of the Phi Beta club; or Tom scrawled “Tried my new gun. Bully. Shot into the fence and hit Johnson’s old cat.” On toward the middle of the book there was an entry of Jenny’s marri- age, and one of the younger girls had added a description of the brides- maids’ dresses, and long afterward there was written, “this day father died,” in Bob’s trembling hand, There was a blank of mavy months afier that. But nothirg could have served bet- ter to bind that family of head-strong Loys and girls together than the keep- ing of this book, They come back to the old homestead now, men and women with grizzled hair, to see their mother who is still living and turn over its pages reverently with many w hearty laugh or the tears coming in- to their eyes. It is their chilhood come back again in visible shape.” Salt on Wheat. Last spring Mr. Joshua Knight, of Ogle county, Lil., sowed thirteen Lar- rels of salt on two acres seced to wheat, und left astrip in the middle of the piece without salt, The ground on which was sowed the salt produced over eighteen bushels of good spring wheat per acre, while that on which there was no salt was hardly worth cutting —the wheat beiug badly shrunken, jnjured by the rust, chinch bugs, ete. I consider this a fair test, and it has never before been published, though I sleemed it of sufficient importance to report it to the Department of Agri- culture, A similar experiment was tried in Iowa last spring, and the re- sult was published in the Iowa City Republican as follows : “H. G. Coe, of Cedar county, tried the experiment of spreading three bushels of salt broadcast over two acres of wheat field. The yield was furty bushels per acre, while the rest of the field gave only nine and a half *bushels per acre. The straw was bright, not being injured as the wheat slongside of it was, and it stood six juches higher.” The following from the Montreal Gazette is apropos, as it gives the re~ sults of valuable scientific experiments on the effect of salt on wheat; “In an interesting series of experi- yet of the good effects of charcoal, 1 on my farm, which is three hundred acres, so that L have an opportunity of judging of its effects upon the dif- effect upon my customers’ saw such results from any manure, and that they could not believe that any manure whatever could make. such a difference.

If placed on the surface of the soil it will gather from the air moisture and gases and impart them to the growing plants. Ou the same principle its value in the barnyard, stables and hog pens, as an absorptive agent, is incaleuable. Where used for this purpose, to form manure, it should be in a powdered the basis of state. In regard to this use of char- coal a writer in Bell’s Weekly Messen- ger (Loudon, Eng,), gives his exper- ience aud views as follows: “Tam fully satisfied that asa basis be greatly appreciated when it is more geuerally known, Iam believer in charcoal myself, having taken a hint when quite a lad working upon my father’s farm at ‘stifle burning.’ I for manure charcoal will a great noticed how ‘much better the ashes were when burnt black, oronly charred, than those that were over-burnt or burnt red. Those black ashes satu- rated with the runnings of a dung heap or stables used to bea very favorite garden manure, the results being so much better when the ‘burn-bake,’ us we nse to call it, was used than when the liquid alone was used. This gave me a great idea of black *burn- bake,’ which I considered a species of cnarcoal, and for eighteen years I made artificial manures fur my own use, and the last five years for sale to customers. I have used charcoal with the very best results from mixing charcoal with artificial manures, and you will find you have much to learn um trying experiments every season ferent crops, and I carefully note its crops.

Seymour on Politicians. ments recently made on the farm of the Royal Agricultural Society of Eng- Jand, the manure value of salt was unmistakably indicated. An acre of wheat dressed with 300 pounds of salt yielded thirty-nine bushels of grain, with a proportionate amount of straw; while an adjoining acre, left unman- ured, produced only twenty-nine bush- els per acre, with straw imperfectly aleveloped. The entire cost of the crop is not stated, but this experiment shows that the additional ten bushels resulting from the salt were produced at a cost of thirty cents each. In an- other case a piece of ground intended for wheat was ploughed the preceding fall, and again in May, when it was sowed with salt, and afterward plough- ed before seeding. On the Ist and 2nd of September wheat was sown at the rate of two bushels to the acre. The crop when harvested yielded, ac- cording to the estimates ofthe owner, Mr. John Park, not less than bushels to the acre, with a Juxurant growth of straw. From these and many similar cases the inference seems to be that salt isa specific for the wheat crop, imparting solidity to the grain and firmness to thestraw. But jt must not be concluded that the equally good results will always fol- Jow the application of salt.”— Rural New Yorker. forty Charcoal as a Basis for Manure.

Prohibition in North Carolina----Its Extent. Mr. Eprror: It has been boldly as- serted by Progress “that the whole rise and progress of the so-called temperance have proved a sham anda failure ;” that “jadging by the past there is no hope for it in the fature.” Because there are daily violations of the laws of the land, is our civil code therefore “a sham and a failure?” Ba ) movement cause there is much ignorance in society, ~ is our educational system therefore “a shamand a failure? Beeause poverty and woe are still in the world, are benev- olent societies therefore “a sham and ay failure 2” Because sin abounds, is Chris- | tianity therefore “a sham and a failure 2” If the temperance reform has ever saved i one drunkard, or closed one bar, or held back one dime from the coffer of the rum- seller and returned it in’ bread to. the! drankard’s hungry ehild, it is not “a | sham and a failure.” Let us see what it North Carolina through the operation of law (fo say nothing of the moral and religions as- pects of the work), in absolute acts of prohibition, PROUIBITION IN REGARD TO PERSONS. The Legislature of 1873-74 prohibited the sale of intoxicating liquors. to all un- marricd persons under twenty-one years ofage. This includes at least one-half of our entire population, which in’ 1870 was 1,071,361, Thas at one sweep the law of North Carolina threw its protecting aruis around more than 500,000 of its popula- tion, and forbade the liquor dealer to sell them one drop of his poison. PROMIBITION IN REGARD TO TIMES, has accomplished in By special act of the Legislature the sale of liquor is absolutely prohibited at all times of elections and political meet- ings in the State. And here I will) vre- mark that, if, as is claimed, prohibition is ‘4a straw fence,—an imaginary line through the woods”—that dves no good, Why is it that men do not supply them- selves with abundance of liqaor on the day before elections and political gather- ings, and re-enact the- barbarous scencs that were witnessed at such times before this law was passed? That it has done much good in this one respect no observ- aut man ean doubt. PROIIBITION IN REGARD TO PLACES. Any one who will take the trouble to examine the Public Laws. of North Caro- lina may see for himself that the Legis- lature during its last five sessions has absolutely prohibited the sale of liqnors in more than five hundred localities in the State, ranging from two to twelve miles in diameter, embracing county seats and other towns, villages, churches, colleges, schools and factories, and extending throughout the State from Currituck to Cherokee, Besides this a large namber of other places were speciticd where the question was Teferred to the yoters of the respective localities, under a special local option act, aud many of those places are now enjoying the benefits of prohibition. And by a special act the sale of liquor is probibited in the whole of Northampton county. OPTIONAL PRONIBITION. What is known as the Local Option Law, under which we are to vote on the talking and voting they accomplished the end for which they had met—as they are sic years. Surely we have ‘strong ground will sweep the whole State. The “rise ous. Here in North prohibition was scarcely dreamed of ten years dgo, we have from 600 to 800 geo- from six to sixty miles in circumference, where the sale of liquor is prohibited by law. They are bright spots on our map. Compared with the intervening spaces the stars in the blue vault of heaven. And they occupy at least 6,000 square miles within the State. Taking North Carolina as an average State in territory and in temperanee, then in all the States we havean aggregate of some 250,000 square miles of territory, exclusive of Maine, held by prohibitionists. In them the spirit of temperance and the power of the State stand hand iu hand pledged to work for the general good. If an in- vading army were intrenched in more than six hundred places in all the coun- ties of North Carolina, and in like ratio throughout the United States, we should not say its “rise and progress have prov- ed it a sham and a failure.” It is unpleasant to look into the dark- ‘ hess of the past, yet it is sometimes nec- essary in order to appreciate the light of ithe present. There was a time when North Carolina had the reputation abroad of being a heathen eslony : that day has meee! There was a time when minis- ters of the gospel received a part of their / anneal stipend in barrels of brandy : that , day has passed. The time was when the Tules of hospitality required the decanter to be set out before each meal: that day has passed. tians and sinners alike could make, buy, | ° Ge | sell and drink ardent spirits nyrebuked : that day has passed. ‘The time was when drunkenness was regarded as an | If Fair Play's supposition is anywhere in _ innocent and amusing pastime: that day has passed.

I confess up to being un- able to see logic in them. I think if there is any in them it lies so deep down that Aristotle, Sir William Hamilton or the great lecturer on logic, Mills, would fail to see it. Do Judex, Stranger and Happy Girl call this raving and this abuse of Nimrod Jr. and. More Anon logic? If this is logic, Progress is a lo- gician of the first magnitude. Tam not surprised at Stranger teeing logic in them—Progress’ articles—for you see he is a stranger—to logic. In fact, in reading his article, I concluded he is a stranger to everything but whiskey and kindred spirits. The same might be said of Judex. Io am a little surprised at Happy G.rl, if Progress blundered on her true meaning. Did she mean to compli- ment Progress when she spoke of his “oraceful” writing?

The worst of Progress’ logic is, that after all the prating about it by Judex and Stranger, no intelligent mind can see any. | We are listening to hear of the logic of Fair Play. If there is any logic in the werld, it is included in his article; for he goes back to the creation of man, dabs down at Noah, takes up the whole ex- istence of Progress and Ninrrod Jr, all benevolent societies, associations, ehureh- es, &e., and reaches the important con- clusion from those wide premises that there is as much liquor drunk pow as there was in the days of Noah. I spec’ so too. In fact, 1 would not be surpriscd if there isa demand for a few gallons more.

Some contend that the object is to get_ money from the people and send it to Washington. But this is teareasonable, for the “women’s crasade” showed that, when liquor saloons were closed, the government receipts were diminished, Others contend, that the doctors want a chance to sell spirits, at high, prices, to the people, or at least to charge for their Written prescriptions. But our physi- cians will be apt to pursae, all of them, the course which Dre Clement in Unity township has promised to do, to preseribo spirits only couscientiously as medicine, and to make no charge for doing so. One of the colored citizens, whom, being a stranger tome, I referred to his) own clergy, said, *'That’s what’s the matter ; We have too many preachers now, and they want this law to get more money out of the people.” Now these opinions, in my judgment, are all absurd.

If anything, be is more opposed to the repeal of the law objected to by the Democrats than to the manner in which they have songht to accomplish it. It remains to be seen what course the Democrats will now pursue. The passage of the Army Appropriation Bill was one of the main causes for convening Congress in extra session. It is the bill which the Democrats in caucus determined should carry with it the repealing clause which has now caused the veto, which event it was said would sigvalize an immediate adjournment of Congress. It is now said a long and exciting session may be ex- pected, but this is doubtless mere conjec- ture. oo OO HoMrESTEAD AND Baknruprcy.—Judge Dick recently made a decision in U.S. Court, at Greensboro’, which will proba- bly settle the question of validity of home- steads held under the State Constitution of 1868. He says: “The homestead pro- visiun iu the Constitution of North Caro- lina, Article x., setcion 2, cannot be made available against debts contracted previ- ous to the adoption of said Constitution in 1868.” But “when homesteads have been duly assigned and confirmed in vankruptey proceedings, I am inclined to think that such adjudicated homestead rights will be recognized and secured by the courts. He thereapon ordered a decree for the sale of lauds in controversy before the court, wherein the plea of the defendants rested on the State Constitution of 1863 ty protect them against creditors whose claims existed prior to the adoption of that Constitution. or Oo rr Buriep IN A Mine.—There was in- tense excitement at the coal mine of the Wilkesbare and Lehigh Coal Com- pany, Pa., on the morning of the 23d April, occasioned by the caving in of the earth, and shutting up seven men and boys 1200 feet below the surface. The men were thought to be half a mile from where the caving occured, but the closing of the passage ways cut off their retreat and The excitement spread rapidly to other mines throughout the coun- ty, and brought to the scene thousands of persons, many of whom were willing helpers for the rescue of the untor- tunates. Operations for cutting a way to the men were commenced without the loss of & moment, while the heart-ren- ding cries of wives and sisters, lent energy to the wills of the tuilers. The difficnl- ties to be overcome were very great, but after desperate efforts continued through four days and nights, they were success- ful. The imprisoned men had subsisted on the body of a mule, and though they had suffered a great deal were delivered ive.

More #appy than Mrs. Dombey, Mr. Roscoe Gonkling, the senior Senator from New York, has succeeded in “making an effort,” and his friends and admirers unite to pronounce it ‘the greatest effort of his life.” In fact some of them, paroding the hyperbole of Mr. Blaine in calling Mr. Lincoln the greatest man the world has produced “for ten centuries,” declare that Mr Coukling’s effort recalls the speeches of Clay, Webster and Calhoan, while Mr. Hamlin, who has been in the Senate since 1848, and it is said often sleeps through the speeches, waked up on this occasion to profess his belief that the New York Senator’s oration was the greatest ever delivered in the capitol. Probably if Mr. Hamlin were to be closely interogated in regard to this opinion he would qualify it with a somewhat familiar quotation from Pinafore ; but really it does not much matter, as Mr. Coukling’s speech is cot likely to change many votes. What he said contrasts rather strangely with other speeches made by him in recent years, and the moderation of which earned the commendation that they were ‘“‘statesman- like.” Aside from the “stalwart” features of thespeech, which may be set aside as only so much “padding”—two points in it are noticable: One is, that Mr. Conkling, whose personal hostility to the head of the present administration is well known, seems to adapt the keynote of his speech to the reasonable assumption that Presi- dent Hayes will not veto the army bill when it comes to him for his signature, and that it will help his own side of the quarrel to denounce the President, there- tor, in advance as the accomplice of a treasonable party, and the refusal to veto the bill as that act of final heresy for which Mr. Hayes must forever lie under the ban of political excommunication, It is noticeable that every promivent oppo- nent of the President’s “policy” towards the South has made haste to draw the line of political fellowship at this bill, but Mr. Conkling outdves them all. The bill it- self, according to him, is treasonable ; not to veto it is to make one’s self a traitor to the Kepublican party. This idea runs all through Mr. Conkling’s speech, and it is yoked with another, which bas seemingly been borrowed from the late Thaddeus Stevens’ repertoire, that the Southern States have no right to be represented in Congress except by “loyal” men. He pro- nounced it to be, in his sounding phrase, “jjudicious” fur the Southern people to desireable Fabrics and colorings, adapted to | this market, such as Egyptian Cloth, Satine Royal Bro- | cades, Tervano Satine, Suitings, Mel-| ange Silk, Bentley’s Cloth, Evon Cus- tom Cloth, Silk Brocaded Grenadines, 2" Black and colored Bunting and many other desirable Dress Gouds. | be appreciated.

The Southern people should | go to work, and let politics alone. They should leave the management of the coun- try’s politics in the hands that now con- trolled it, and not attempt to obtain pos- session once more of the government and dominate the country. There was, per- haps, room enough for them at the nation- al table—but it “was not decorous that the South should be the McGregor at the table.” Let the Southern people stay at home, dig, plant, sow—“‘in short, go to work.” “Drop sentiment and let materi- al prosperity advance”—it is simply im- pertinence for Confederate brigadiers aud late rebels to have political opinions and to vote to maintain them. Their function is to “hoe corn and dig potatoes,” while statesmenlike ‘Lord Roscoe” enact laws for their government. ‘This is not an ex- aggerated statement of the tone of Mr. Conkling’s “etfort.” And yet it is not im- possible that a people may work and have political opinions also. Undoubtedly, as he said, he spoke “without malice,” his speech being but one part of a cunningly contrived piece of machinery now being constructed in Congress and elsewhere to “‘tire the Northern heart,” and bring about | a “solid North” in time for the next pres- | idential election. The cool and rather! contemptuous indifference with which the matter-of-fact constituents of the gentle men who are so energetically shouting “revolution” at the capitol contemplate their exertions must, however, be-rather discouraging. Never before, perhaps, in the history of the world, were business men so eager to put their money in the | four per cent. bonds of a nation convulsed by treason and quivering on the rugged edge of revolution. It is true that a lack of stir in business enterprises and indus- | tries may be one reason why 80 much money 1s found for investment in four per cents, but the spirit manifested by suel as Mr. Conkling is not that which wil tend to a revival of that which is whole some In any quarter. et | He is a fearless sort of man, taking the owner of the cherub does not always re- furn to claim the precious darling, and | Vt fh left in the arms of the obliging per- wea who took it to hold just for a minute | ertwo, The Wilmington Sua reports a ease of this sert happening at the depot | a bhat city recently, the lady dupe de- viding to take the baby to her home at "Wagnolia, and do a mother’s part be it. rr eR ' e'iSpors on TRE Sty.—The Philadelphia | offimes adverts tu the fact that the time is @pPreachiug when numerous spots (some Of them large) may be seen on the sun. ‘Same of them are visible now, and with- ih the next two years many more will hic 'inte view, perhaps to the naked eye.

The seducer_is worse than the garroter, for he needs courage: but the seducer makes hiscowardly attack on unprotected female weakuess. He is worse than the thief, for he steals perishable goods: the seducer steals character, hippiness aud the crown of female loveliness, which is virtue, and then tries to conceal the turpitude of his foul crime, in the more perfect ruin of his victim, by He is worse than the poisoner, who plics his black art to destroy physical life: while the seducer puts his woeful chalice to the lips of the spirit, and, with fiendish atrocity, false preteuces of affection and hollow protestations of devotion, allures a tender and delicate, but too devoted lover, to partake of a crime that entails upon her a life-long disgrace and misery ! Aud while he pays hardly the shadow of a nominal penalty to law, (strangely weak against this blackest of crimes) and -exultingly noses around after similar vic- tories over unsuspecting purity,—she, on the other hand, is ‘ta lost star.” She is even fortunate if her mother still lives: otherwise, she has not one friend.

W. ID. NEave. > >a For the Watchman. Local Option—Probable Effect on the Better Classes of our Young Men. Ido not, by any means, set myself up as an example to be immitated by others; j but merely wish to state afew facts in connection with this local option move- ment how on foot iu Salisbury township. {ct is of personal observation and experi- ence that | wish to speak. In the. first place, Lain a young man who has, as yet, his first social glass of whisky to swallow. For the last six or seven years I have becn fighting against whisky drinking, (I mean personally) aud have so far come out victor. My temptations have been as )great, IF not greater, than the average pyoung man, ‘Lhe greatest temptation of )&@ young nan, is not the public bar, where all classes, white and black, go to indulge the craving appetite; but ia the private roonn or boado of some friend where, sin pcompany with comrads of “light heart,” the social glass is handed round, with happy smile and pleasant repartee. "Tis j here the appetite is formed, and the germs ofa vice leading to shame, rein anda drunkard’s grave, are sprouted. These young men, all of good society, would re- sent as an insult, an invitation to go inte a bar to take a glass, for that is what they studiously avoid. It would’ be a death blow to the jolly, soeial, oe- casional meeting with friends in private, and make them ‘open moderate drinkers.’ rom this they shrink. They do “no hari” theyosay in drinking a glass pri- vately, but it would set a bad example, aud injure themselves socially, to enter a bar and drink a friends health in public. Now, ou the other hand, remove all the bars, and force all whisky drinkers to buy by the gallon, and keep in their offices, and private rooms, the “horrid stutt.” The jtemptations L have just described are |brought to bear ina greater aud ivore /urfiversal way. On all sides, the young iman who has fought a good tight so far, jis beset with move subtle and tempting baits. “Be jolly for once in your life.” [“Sip from the tlowing bowl, just with me, jmy friend.” “Come, my hearty, we'll drink your health.” Brighten your wits and we'll fake a game,” &c., &e. Ah, young heart! can you withstand these uew and dire temptations which are about to be forced upon you? Tsay forced, because FE look on local option as a force ucasure, ‘The Bue Laws of the 17th century may have been mythical, but the ear amarks on local option show a close re- lation. Shall che nes dhical of the t7th be- come a reality in the eulightened 19th century ? While it may do good to some, Lam econ- ivineed that the temptations of the young men of the better class will be greatly in- | creased, aud, asl take it, is a risk too yreat to be lightly thought of. As it is, these social gatherings are few, but add the foree law, aud necessarily, from the plucreased number of moderate drinkers who are compelled to buy by larger quan- | tities, these meetings become naore fre- ,quent—consequently more dangerons.— This force Jaw does not strike me as the (thing —why use force? The heart of map /rebels against if. When God, in his great wisdom, placed Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, He knew their weakness —that they would fall, aud fall, teo, from eating the forbidden fruit. Why did He not use force to preserve His newly made | ;people? Why not baild a great wall) around the tree of torbidden fruit, and thus prevent gratification, if his people were tempted?) No! He only said: ‘Ye |shall not eat of the fruit.” Their disobe- dicnce led to their destruction. So, now, | whisky, a tree of forbidden fruit, is in our nnd. We cannot remove it, let so-called ‘reformers say What they will to the con- trary. God says, ‘tbe temperate.” Some are, and pass unharmed. Some are not, and like our first parents, must suffer for | their disobedience. Lut some will argue, “drinking affects not only the man, but his family and friends.” Just so, and Adain’s disobedience effected the whole htunan race to the last generation. fu all sincerity and simplicity of faith, IT think these matters are ina higher and omore powerfal haud, and it ill becomes the followers of the meek and lowly Jesus to vo outside of their legitimate work, and try to coerce, or force temperance. As well might Adam have cut down the tree of forbidden fruit and cast it from the gar- den of Eden. These are my humble opinions—they may be wrong, bat they are honest. Itis for the young men, my friends in Salisbu- ry, that [T entertain these fears; thought of them and myself, prompted. this effori to call attention to at least one bad eftict of local option.

Here is another of those double-leaded, sententious articles from the Louisville Courier Joural which always means something : It Mr. Whitthorne, of Tennessee, does hot press his resolution to investigate the “exodus” villainy, we engage to do some- thing that will not be to Mr. Whitthorne’s advantage. This whole “exodus” scheme is a piece of scoundrelism. The mousters who are at the bottom of it kuow perfectly well What they are about. They have for their object the falsification of the next cen- Sys. a The “exodus” scheme is a census move- nent purely. The negro is simply to be used, as the Republicans have always ased him, asso much fuel to fan the flame of sectional strife and hate, regard- less of his fate, As a trick, it is the worst yet; a base- born, black-hearted piece of barbarous cruelty, which every vailliau who sup- ports it knows to be infamous and in- haman. Mr. Whitthorne’s proposal is of the first consequence. Let him proeced with it. The prominence which the Courier Journal gives the above, and the exceed- ing vigor of the language which it em- ploys indicate that it has good cause for saying What it says. The ceusus expla- nation is very plausible. The Republi- cans will have made a ten-strike if they can run all the negroes out the Southern States, colonize them in Northern States, and keep them there until the census of 1330 cau be completed. By this means the representation of the Southern States in Congress will be decreased aud the re- presentation of certain Northern States increased, After ~the apportionment. is made under the new census the “nigger” can lake care of Qimself; he ean come back to the South or stay iu the North- west as he likes. , This is, in all human probability, the object had in view by the Republican projectors of this heartless scheme ; it may be that it is some lower object ;. certainly it is none higher.— Charlotte Ob. ee ee, Tue Tonacco DEALExs’ PLAN.—A cir- cular is being sent to all the tobacco dealers in the country by promiuept to- bacco manufacturers of New York city, stating that an effort will be made to get a bill throagh Congress allowing the to- bacco dealers a rebate on their stock of tobacco on which has been paid the twenty-four per cent. *tax.: They are; therefore advised, before May 1, to take account of the stock of tobacco on hand and have it propesly attested before a hotary public, in order that there may. be no question of the. validity of their claims iu case the bill passes.: ‘Fhe proyisions of such a bill would give to the $50,000 tobacco dealers in the country a rebate of eight cents on every ponud of tobacco uow iu their stores, except that which is in the form of cigars and cigarettes.

Inmy jwig- ment the act is not only oppressive and odious, and repugnant to the spirit of oar institutions, but is clearly unconstitation- al and void. As a war measure, to be enforced in insurgent States when domi- nated by national foes, the fact conld be sustained, but after the war was ever and the insurgent States were restored to their normal and copstitutional, rela- tions to the Union, it.was as much out of place and as ivoperative as would be a law quartering a soldier in every South- ern mau’s hone.” —— “Our First Baby,” is the title of a new book.

The following was published about three years ago in the Golden Censer, but it is worthy of being published often: One afternoon in the month of June, 1870, a lady in peed mourning, fol- lawed by a child, entered one of the {ushionable salvons in the city of N— ‘The writer happened to be passing at the time and, prompted by curiosity, followed her in to see what would en- xue. Stepping up to the bar, and ad- ressing the proprietor, she said : ‘Sir, can you assist me? I have no home, no friends, and am not able to work.’ He glanced at her, and then at the child, with a mingled look of pity and curiosity, Evidently he was much surprised to see a wowan in such a place begging, but, without asking any questions, he gave her some change and, turning to those present, he maid : ‘Gentlemen, here is a lady in dis- trees, Can’t some of you help hera little ?” They cheerfully acceeded to the re- quest, and soon a purse of two dol- lars. was made up and put in her hands, ‘Madam,’ said the gentleman who yave her the money, ‘why do yon come toa saloon? It isn’t a proper place for a lady, and why are you \iriven to such a step.’ ‘Sir, said the lady, “I know it isn’t n proper place for a lady to be in, and you ask me why Tam driven to ruch astep ? I will tell you in one short word,’ pointing to a bottle behind the counter labeled ‘whiskey’—‘that is what brought me here—whiskey. I was once happy, and surrounded with ll the luxuries that wealth could procure, a fond, indulgent husband. but in an evil hour be was tempted, und not possesing the will to resist the temptation, fell, and in one short year my dream of happiness was over, home was forever desolate, and the kind husband and the wealth that xome called mine, lost—lost never to return, and all by the accursed wine cup, You see before you only the wreck of my former self, homeless and friendless, with nothing left me in this world but this little child,’ and, weeping bitterly, she affectionately varressed the golden curls that shaded u face of exquisite loveliness, Re- yaining her composure, and turning 1» the proprietor of the saloon, she continued ; Sir, the reason why I occasionally enter a place like this is to implore those who deal in the deadly poison to desist, tostop, a business that spreads desolation, ruin, poverty and starvation, Think one moment of vour own beloved ones, and then im- ugine them in the situation I am in. J appeal to your heart, for I know you possess a kind one, to retire from 3 ‘business so ruinous to your pa- trons. “Do you know the money you (uke geross the bar is the same thing ns the bread out of the mouths of the famished wives and children of your customers? That it strips the cluth- ing from their backs, deprives them of all the comforts of this life, and throws unhappiness, misery, crime, nnd desolation into once happy homes? Oh! sir, L implore, beseech and pray you to retire from a business you blush toown you are engaged in be- fore your fellowmen, and enter one that will not only be profitably to yourself out to your fellow-creatures. You will excuse me if I have spoken too plainly, but I could not help it when I thought of the misery, the unhappiness and the suffering it has caused me,’ ‘Mamma,’ said the little girl, who meantime, had been spoken to by rome df the gentlemen present, tak- ing hold of her mother’s hand, ‘these yentlemen want me to sing ‘Little Hessie” for them. Shall I do so?” They all joined in the reqnest, and placing her in a chair, she sang, in a wweet, childish voice the following beautiful song ; ‘Oft in the gloomy night sadly I roam, | have no mother gar, no pleasant home; No one cares for me, no one will ery ven if poor little Bessie should die, Weary and tired, ve been wandering all day. Asking tor work, but I'm too small they way ; .

I sl:ould be so very happy again, It is too late, temperance men f Please try Or poor little Bessie must soon starve and All mens long I've been begging for bread ; Father’s a drunkard and mother is deac 7 The game of billiards was left un- finished, the cards thrown aside, and the unemptied glass remained on the counter; all had pressed near, some with pity-beaming eyes, entranced with the musical voice and beauty of the child who seemed better fitted to be with angels above than in such a place. The scene I shall never forget to my dying day, and the sweet caden- ces of her musical voice still rings in my ears, and every word of the song as it dropped from her lips sank deep into the hearts of those gathered around her. With her golden hair falling care- lessly around her shoulders, and look- ing so trustingly and confidingly upon the gentlemen around her, her beauti- ful eyes illuminated with a light that seemed not of this earth, she formed a picture of purity and innocence worthy the genius of a peet or painter. At the close of the song many were weeping ; men who had not shed a tear fur years now wept like children. One young man, who had resisted with scorn the pleadings of a loving mother, and the entreaties of friends to strive to lead a better life, to desist from a course that was wasting his fortune and ruining his health, now approached the child, and, taking both hands in his, while the tears streamed down his cheeks, exclaimed, with emotion : ‘God bless you, my little angel! You have saved me from ruin and disgrace, from poverty and a drank- ard’s grave. Ifthere are angels on earth you are one!’ and putting a note into the hands of the mother, said : ‘Please accept this trifle asa token of my regard and esteem, for your lit- tle girl has done me a kindness I can uever repay ;\and remember, when- ever you are in want, you will find meu true friend,’ atthe same time giving her his name and address. Taking the child by the hand she turned to go, but, pausing at the door, said: ‘Good bless you gentlemen! Ac- cept the heartfelt thanks ofa poor, friendless woman for the kindness and courtesy you have shown her.’ Be- fore any one could reply she was gone. A silence of several minutes en- sued, which was broken by the proprie+ tor, who exclaimed ; ‘Gentlemen that lady was right, and I have sold my last glass of whis- ky; if you want any more you will have to go else where,’ ‘And I have drank my last glass of whisky,’ said a young man who had long been given up as utterly. be- yond the reach of those who had a deep interest in his welfare, as sunk too low ever to reform. nL eel Natlonal Hote ALEIGH, N.

McLANE’S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, f{ “ DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE. Symptoms of a Discased Liver. pas in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres- sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side ; sometimes the pain is felt ugder the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with Joss of appe- tite and sickness; the bowels in gen- eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. ‘lhere is generally a considerable loss of mem- ory, accompanied with a painful sen- sation of having Jcft undone some- thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. ‘The patient complains of weariness and debility; he ts easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa- tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and ahhoueh he is satished that cxer- cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. Jn fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where tew of them ex- isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the Liver to have been extensivery deranged.

The “truth of history” cannot be vin- dieated—neither can it be misrepresented —Y violently assailing those who do not “sree with you in opinion, or who can- hot accept as facts, what you recklessly, and without any proof whatever, deelare _ the plain teaching of history. We do not help the cause of truth by writing in sneha way as to vilify the living and defame the dead. There is ‘00 much true liberality of thoaght and “etiment in this age to make a style of foatroversy like this gither very popular Tauecessful.

But he utr ya men to honestly stray form » than hypocritically and phar- tally to accept its honors and prefer- ts. The very foundations of ofr asoners ores of Mitgs, St; Paul earnéstly enjoins it upon us “‘to prove all things ; and to held fast that which is good.” But notwithstanding what I have just said, it by io means follows, that there is not still a great deal of prejudice existing in the world. Much of the controversy of the day is as bitter and virnlent as ever. Perfect evurtesy and fuirness in discussion is not often found. And passion and prejudice are still quite as often the weapons em- ployed by controversialists 9s reason and argument. Your correspondent, “More Auon,” has given it as his opinion, that the Puritan Blue Laws are “largely a myth,” and seems to think, that if it were otherwise, the persecutions of the Puritans might be accounted for and excused. by the fact, that they themselves ‘‘had been perse- euted in England Wy ‘Bonner, Land, Claverhouse and Taytor.” I think other- wise. Admit, thatin England the Puri- tans were unjustly persecuted and pun- ished for their opinions’ sake, ought not that alone to have taught them to be tol- erant of others? Ought they to have punished as a crime in other men, what they themselves maintained to be theit own just right and privilege? The truth is, toleration was pot what they wanted. Their consciences compelled them not only to practice themselves what they believed to be right, but at all hazards to enforce their opinions and practices upon others also. [Wilberforce Hist. Amr., Ch. 51.] They did not ask for tolera- tion, but for the utter overthrow of the Charch of England, the mere existence of which they themselves were unwilling to tolerate. Even John Milton dooms the bishops of the English Chureh, ‘‘after a shameful life in this world to the darkest and deepest gulf of hell.” This language was mild in comparison with what was londly expressed and published by the lesser lights of the Puritan faction. If Puritans were compelled by Queen Eliz- abeth to attend the Parish churches, the Puritan Parliament of 1645 sentenced to one year’s imprisonment any one, who tor the third time made use, publicly or privately, of the Book of Common Prayer. Undoubtedly the Puritans were full of | zeal and religion, not only in old Eng- land, but in New England. “It is pleas- says Bishop Wilberforce, “that there were amongst. them = many whose whole hearts were governed by a Whilst it is as plain, that their @onsciences were often scrupulous, and their self-will in religion ant to believe,” strong personal religion ; great—of their earnest piety abundant records [Elist. <Amr., Ch. 67.] But from the very beginning, in Mas- sachnsetts, they declared the ‘“composi- tion of common-prayer and ceremonies to be a sinful violation of the worship of God —apd that archbishops, bishops, arch- eae and the like, were mere inven- tions of man, to the great dishonor of Jesus Christ; plants, not of the Lord’s planting, which all should certainly be rooted up and cast forth.” (Synod) of Cambridge, 1649.) The Presbyterian ministers were denouneed as the “ushers of persecution,” “popish factors,” and the like. [Wilb. Amr. Ch. 72.] As early as 1631, it was ordained, “that nove should be adimifted to the freedom of the Plymouth Company but such as were chosen members, who had. certificates from their ministers that they were of orthedox principles ; and that none but Sreemen should vote at elections, or act as magistrates, or jurymen.” This extraor- dinary law, whieh permitted none but a select class of communicants to vote or hold office, continued in force until 1684, and was not-then voluntarily relinquish- ed. [Art. New England, Encyclo. Brit., Ed. 1803.) Perseeution for opinion’s sike began very early. Before the year 1632, they had expelled front among them some, whose principles and conduct they disapproved, “in their zeal to pre- serve the unity of the faith,” as one of their eulogists says. (Ene. Brit., Art. Ed. 1803.] “To say that men ought to have liber- ty of conscience,” says Ward, a great an- thority among the colonists, “is impfons ign®@ance.” “Religion admits of no ec- centric notions. quoted by Wilberforce.] So they ban- ished those whose opinions they disliked. Among the ones who were banished, was the celebrated Roger Williams, who was charged by the magistrate with holding such sentiments as these: ‘‘that there should be an unlimited toleration of all religions; and that to punish a man for following the dictates of his conscience was persecution. [Art. New Eng. Encyclo. Brit. Ed., 1803, 1 Two brothers, mem- bers of the English Church, ventured to uphold in their own house, for such as would resort unto them, the common- prayer worship. But sneh an enormity they were not long suffered to continue, for a disturbance arising among the peo- ple “upon this oceasion,” the brothers were called before the magistrates, and so handled as to be indnced to leave the colony forthwith, [Wilb. Amr. Ch. 74.) It was judged sufficient reason to expel a honsehold from the town of Salem, that iis head was by confession “a dam—ned quaker.” [Ib. 75.] They did n@ stop at banishment. are preserved,” Fines, imprisonment, stripes and-even Teligion itself rest upon facts and ; death itself were resorted to, for “God i forbid,” aay they, ‘that oar loye of truth a [ Bancroft, chap. X— — ee iT should be so cold that” we should tolerate error.” Convicted, Anabap- tists’ were fined twenty pounds,’ or “whipped unmercifully.” “Absence from the ministry of the word” was treated in like manner. But the Quakers were the most severely handled of all. Fines were leyied on any who hatbored’ the “accur- sed sect ; whilst “Friends” themselves were sentenced after the first conviction to lose ene ear ; after the seeond, another; and after the third to have the tongue bored through with a red-hot iron.” Many Quakers were even put to death on account of their religion, and the perse- cution did not cease until King Charles II pnt an end to it in 1661. The bare toleration of different forms of worship was condemned amongst the colonists as “unquestionable sin.” [Wilb. 77.] They not only banished “heretics,” but a law was passed in the year 1637, that none should be received to inhabit within the jurisdiction but such as should be allow- ed by some of the magistrates ; and it was fully understood, that differing from the religious tenets generally received iu the country, was as great a disqualification of Sup.] For this purpose, in 1636, a synod) was convened at Cambridge, to whom eighty erroneous opinions were presented, which after a few of the leading characters who had embraced these errors were banished, and several others were censured for se- ditions conduct. [Kney. Brit.] There was no such thing as liberty of the press. A respectable bookseller at Boston was convieted of a libel for publishing ‘Les- lie’s Short Method with the Deists.” [Wilb. 112.] The witcheraft delusion and atrocities, of which Salem, Mass., was the scene in 1692, is too horrible to narrate. Suttice it to say, that during the prevalence of this fanaticism and reign of wickedness twenty persons lost their lives by the hand of the executioner, fifty-five escaped death by confessing themselves guilty, one hundred and fifty were put in prison, than two hundrel others The Rev. Chartes W. Upham, pastor of the First Congregational Chureb, in Salem, Mass., in a volume of “Lectures on Witeheraft,” delivered in 131, says that ‘Dr. (Cotton) Mather,” bwho is still regarded as one of the early Puritan ornaments, and Who urged on the prescentors,” contemplated the witeh- eratt delusion as the instrument in pro- moting a revival of religion, and boasted of the success with which it was attended as spch.” [Waylen’s Ec. Rem. 67.] The Plymouth colonists, very soon af- ter their arrival in the country, enacted a code of laws, which undoubtedly genuine, and it is a very remarkable fact, that they did not adopt the laws of Eng- land as the foundation of their code. They professed, that their leading ob- ject in migrating to America was to enjoy liberty of conscience, and to support and transinit pire to posterity the religion of the Bible; and finding in this book the leading principles of good government, and assystem of laws for the general reg- ulation of human condact, they adopted it as “their principal code of law, and de- clared, as an article in their bill of rights, that no man should suffer but by an ex- press law, sufficiently published ; yet in case of a defect of law, in any particular instance, by the wordof God.” [Art. New Eng. Ency. Britt. Sup. Ed. 1803.). The magistrates, however, had it in their power to decide what was meant by the expression, word of God, which very of- ten signified in their mouths all the er- rors which they falsely took to be the word of God. A historian, evidently quite friendly to them, says that “this code of laws became marked with many additional capital crimes, unknown as sueh to those of England ; and smaller offences were multiplied with rigorous exactness. AS this severity had for its object an exemplary purity of morals and religgon, which should extend to every person in society, it of course reached the more private aetions of ils members, and ineluded all the relationships subsisting between them. Their capital offences were idolatry, teitcheraft, blas- phemy, murder, bestiality, sodomy, adul- tery, man-stealing, bearing false witness, conspiracy, and rebellion, cursing or smi- ting a parent, unless when neglected in education, or provoked by extreme and eruel correction, rebellions and stubborn conduct in a son disobeying the voice and chastisement of his parents, and liv- ing in notorious crimes, rape, and arson. Other offences were also made capital, upon a second or third convietion, and the degree of the offence was in some in- stances increased by the circumstance of its being committed on the Sabbath (7. e. Sunday). In the iuferior classes of crimes, were many peculiar to the situa- tion of the colony, especially with regard to sumptuary regulations, aud the en- forcing of industry. In these there are strong proofs of the disposition which prevailed, of showing respect to particu- lar descriptions of families by distinction in their favor. Their punishments bore a resemblance to the general rigor of their penal code and were sometimes even in and more accused. is b RE prem ae tates 2am pe capital cases left to the discretion of their judges.” [Art. New Eng. Encyele. Britt. Ed. 1803.] The same authority adds, that there “was alaw on the subjeet of torture, which is a stain rather upon the volame in which itis recorded thanupon the prac- tice of the country. And tbe law also admitted of a freeman’s being sold for service to d&charge his debts.” Such laws as these are characterized very mildly when they are merely styled “bluish.” They contain the evident germs of every extraordinary provision afterwards found in the compilation: of old Puritan Laws and usages inaccurate- ly styled the “Blue Code.” Your cor- respondent “P” in the remarks with Which he prefaces the article, which he clipped from the Philadelphia Preabyte- rian, has no? shown much discrimination or fairness, although he has not intended todo any wrong. Hé says he looked over the article ‘with a view of eviscer- ating all reference to any of the denom- inations of Christians mentioned in it, but as these seem to be handled with about equal justice, or rather injustice, if | | were all condemned, and shortly there- |W | direct terms violently and rather coarse- as any political opinions whatever. [Art. | 30 please,—I have concluded to submit New Eng. Enecy. Britt. Ed. 1803, vol. 2d , the article as a whole.” When we consid- er, after a careful perusal of the article in From a mistaken zeal for the purity of | question, that only two classes of Chris- the faith Gov. Winthrop strove to exter- | tians are mentioned in it at all—the . | oe “ite? ’ ; . : minate opinions whiek he disapproved. | Puritans,” who are landed, praised and approved altogether; and the Episco- palians,” for whom the author of the | Presbyterian’s article has not a single kind word to say, but by innuendo °° not in ly assails them, it is astonishing that “P” himself could not sce the injustice that was being done to a very respectable and influential denomination of Christians. “P" is begging the question when he says, “well informed men everywhere now regard the Blue Laws of Connect+ icut as never having had an existence, as a code.” Wha ever said they did? The real question is, did these Jaws ever real- ly exist substantially, in any form, and were they ever enforced at any time in New England? IT venture the assertion, that no intelligent man, who has ever taken the pains to investigate the matter at all, will think of denying that the laws summed up in the “Blue Code” did have areal substantiai existence and operation. To deny that these laws existed, asa code, is one thing. ‘To deny that they ever existed at all, is something totally dif- ferent ! . It is only lately that men have had the boldness and temerity to deny the gen- uineness of the arguinents which “Blue Laws,” and the decry and discredit them altogether are about on a par with that which makes Lord Bacon the author of Shakspeare’s plays, and casts a doubt upon the question as to whether Homer Was a real historical character.

A four year old sen of R. A. McMuahon swallowed a shoe hammer, handle and all. It caused considerable excitement at first, bat the child, not seeming in pain, the fears (of the result) were alleviated among the friends of the boy. Two days after- wards the hammer, with the iron handle attached, was found, the boy having pass- ed them off without any injury, and no doubt unconscious of the pariicular fact. The hammer alluden to was a toy ham- mer, haudle three inches long, hammer 14 inches leng, and about the size of a lead pencil, the handle being about half the size of a No. 2 lead pencil. The boy is doing well. ~~ +e. There is one jolly Republican in the House who is too full of bonhommie to be a good hater. His name is Boyd, and he hails from Hlinois. The Dispateh’s cor- respondent says : “He gave his attention first to the Greevbackers, whom, he said, in the last campaign promised the poor people that it should rain greenbacks for forty days and forty nights, and then told a capital story about the mermaid, which made wicked old men shake their sides. Going over to the front of the Democratic side, he said, with inimitable good hamor, thas he wanted to give the South some goo advice. Pointing to a member from Mississippi he said, 1, want-you people down in Mississippi to raise more corn and cotton and less cussedness ; and tarning to ahnember from South Carolina he said, and you down in South Carolina to raise more hams and less Hamburg. Even when he talked atout the bloody shirt there was applause, and the Democrats cried ‘Go on,’ when his time was out. eee Of the colored exodus the New Orleans Picayune says: “For atime it seemed as if this movement was general, and serious tears were felt that it might disorganize the labor of the State and jeopard its industrial interests. We believe these fears were the product of an exaggerated estimate of the extent of the movemeht. From what we can learn the impulse has spent its force.” or — How Farm Annwacs Passep T TER,—WAstitxeton, April 28.—The - cultoral for April show that ‘all classes of farm auimals came out of win- ter quarters in mnusually goof condi- tion.

There were letters from Wendell Phillips, Lloyd Garrison and Mayor Cooper’s private secretary read, but still the sympathy and the tales of blood failed to awaken the brethren. Then a colored brother rose in the midst of the assemby and proposed to sing in grand chorus the grand hymn of liberty, “John Brown lies mould- ering .’ and then there was a mur- mer of enthusiasm. But the brother when he started the hymn, got it just one octave up too high, and squealed in a falsetto.

Mr. Editor: As many readers are doubtless interested in the letters and jtems of pews constantly appearing in the Watchman from various places in the im- mediate vicinity of Salisbury as well as from places nore remote, it may not be objectionable at least to a few to learn something aboat the quiet little village of Mt. Pleasant. This place is situated in the eastern part of Cabarrus county, nine- miles from Congord and about 20 wiles frou Saljsbyry. It has nothing to of except ics retired position, its guietade, its schpols, its churches, and the geauine gyorality und integrity of its citizens. The leading topic of interest pver-before the miuds of the people here ja their schools. All hearts are centered op these, and well they are, for Without school: accommodations it is hard for any community to elevate itself above the level of primitive ideas aud custops. The schools will have their closing exercises shortly —next week the Female Seminary, the week after North Carolina Col- The exercises at the College will begin Sunday, May 18, and close Wedues- Auy she 21, 1, 4.

We always anticipate a pleasant time at this season, and heretofore have not been dis- Appointed. We hope to see as many of the friends of edacation here on that oc- cusign as cau find it convenient to come. Daring the past year the schools have had # respectable share of public patron- age, and the indication will contjpye to receive a liberal share of that patrovage. The prices of board, tuition, &c., are so low that peenniary embarrassment is hardly an excuse for uny energetic young man to remain at home. - It is well known to many of your readers that the majority of our eae are farmers, All around us are beautiful farnts, ypcharids, and gardeus, those real beagties that make life so enchantijnug and lead us alnjost to realize that there js nothing but happiness in this world. Justatthis time, farmers have about pompleted their planting operations and rousequently are Setting ready to culti- yate.. their ae: Au unusually large crop of cotton fas been planted, aud that too with the ground jn the best of order. Everything so far is 1H favor of an excel- Jent stand, which you are aware is a matter of no snail] moment. Not only has a large amount of cotten been plant- ed, but alo a large amount of fertilizers has n used, both the compost and commercial, the preponderance being in favor of the former. Wheat is growing finely, but the crop cannot be said to be a yery promising oue, It atunds too thiu on the ground, and unless the season shall be unusually fayarable for 3 few weeks to come the yield will not be yery large.

The eonclusion is true, and will be readily admitted by all. But we believe the citizens of Salisbury are just as liberal in this way as the pco- ple of any other town. There is no spite- ful cat-throatism practiced here toward each other. There is no more selfishness, or indifference to the general weal of the community. It is very much “the style” of our people to take care of themselves iv business matters, and if it is not the fashion ll over the world we donot know where to find the exception to the rule. There was a time jn the “long ago” when there was « much larger proportion of the business of Salisbury that resulted in the mytual benefit of her citizens. For instance, in those times, when ¢ man wanted a hat for himself or his boy, he brought in his rabbit skins and wool to Stephen Cowan or Michael Murr, and ex- change them for a hat ready made, or else ordered one. If he had no fir skins or wool, he paid money. Cowan or Murr, as the case might be, made the body of the bat and employed women in the neigh- borhood to put in the lining and bind it. Thus the benefits of the transaction were distributed around, and it did good. Is not this, or something like it, what our neighber wants to re-establish 2 A man wanting a set of chairs, went straight to William or Sain’! Hughes, or to Billy Biles (“coolly gourds,” as he was called), and in due time he was supplied with a good, substantial article that would stand two generations, aud the money paid for it was left hers to circulate aronnd general- ly. Shoe-makers then (Ebenezer Dick- son, Moses I,. Brown, Jas, Glover and Jno. Thompson), bad a front room shelved and stored with articles made in the back shop by a room full of busy workmen—articles of all grades for ladies and gentlemen ; and it was only the finest kind of Sunday shoes that merchants brought on for the rich and fashionable ladies of those times. It was the same with Tailors; every body who wanted a nice coat, pants or vest, went to Geo. Miller, Horace H. Beard, Benj. Fraley, Templeton, Thos. Dickson, or some other fashionable tailor in town, and that was the best he could do. The money was left here and circulated around ang around. It was the same way in re- speet to carriages, buggies, sulkies, car- ryalls and wagons, The late John I. Shaver lajd the foundation of his fortane in this branch of business, and his em- ployees and customers thrived while he prospered, And so we might. go on to show how un- der the old system the town grew, slow- ly, it is true, just as it is dung now. A retrospective view of business Ways as then conducted is pleasing to those who remember them, and some people roundly aver thatethey were better than the pres- ent methods. We think the sketch we have drawn of the “long ago” ought to -Strike our neighbor as the very thing he is aiming to re-establish. We certainly do not object, but on the contrary, wish him speed. Perhaps, however, it is only a modification of the old business rules aud practices desired. Jt matters little: We shall wish him joy of auy success he may attain inthis direction. We regret it is notin our heart to labor with bim. The little bull on the railroad track low- ering his horns to receive the approaching train is not a cireamstance compared to the task our friend has assumed. too heavy for so few. Trade is obstinate in respect to its own laws, and is only governed by the situation, and circum- stances of the times. The “long ago” was before the full development of steam pow- ep and its application to machinery ; before the introduction of railroads, express com- panies and telegrapha, and the people of our towns were then shut up to them- selves, comparatively. Trade adapted it- self to the situation. It moved sluggishly. The great commercial centers were then from four to six weeks distant. Trans- portation was a heavy item, and. the processes slow. How different the sit- uation now! What miracles hath steam power and machinery wrought! A man may read in the morning papers, news and market reports of yesterday from ev- ery city in the civilized world. He may step into the telegraph office and order from 50 cts. to $50,000 worth of goods from New York or Boston and they are deliv- ered to him jn Salisbury in 48 or 60 hours. The whole world is his market, and may be reached without leaving his office. He can now obtain goods from China within the time he formerly got them from New York. Will the money paid for a hat, a pair of shoes, a dress coat, or a carriage, move around in a small circle as it did formerly? {fit is unwilling to do so, can you compel it? Can you make it stay at home if its owner don’t choose it shall ? Or if he can't see the subject in the same light with yourself, will you call him out by name and denounce him asa bad cit- izen, and tell him, when he dies you wi 1 Write “swine” on his tombstone ! It seems to us that “circumstances alter cases,” and these of the present are so dif- ferent from these of the past, the business practices of to-day naturally conform to the new situation. Jt is the law of trade to buy where you can buy cheapest and sell where yon ean get the most. This law prevails iu all countries and in all ages. There have been attempts to abro- gate it by communistic societies, legul hamperings and by cnelosing cities in walls; but ina country like this with al] markets oj en and at our very door, we SUppose It is quite impossible to restrict its operati:n.

This is constantly dope in small matters and sometimes in large ones, as a matter of choice or for the purpose of reaching remote designs. These are exceptions to the great rule of trade, bnt they are na- taral, and serve good and usefal ends. Tr Wilmington Star: Major Charles M. Stedman, of this city, while en route to Boston, on the steamer Providence, a few days since, was robbed ‘by a pick- pocket of a valuable gold watch and chain.

Respectfally, Cre rr em For the Watchman. The Temperance Champions, Saul Fri- day and Crusoe Nimrod. Mr. Epitor: In the last issue of the Watchman “Saul” gives evidence of a weakened capacity to comprehend any- thing save what his master Crusoe Nim- rod Jr. says. ‘Liu. is to be expected, for Saul Friday is but an artless creature whom Crusoe Nimrod has but lately res- cued froma state of mental barbarism ; therefore it is a delicate matter to chas- tise poor Friday withoat awakening the wrath of Nimrod Jr. This is to be ex- pected if Crusoe Nimrod has the true feeling that the protecting superior should always have toward his dependent infe- riot. This accounts for the weakeved milk found in the cocoa, and the absence of cultured brains in the empty gourd referred to in my firstarticle. ‘The quan- tity of either is not up to the average adulteration of chalk and water. To be- come more practical and get within the range of easy comprehension, it requires brain of a higher order than that pos- sessed by the natural born idiot ora lately captured and untutored cannibal tocomprehend a proposition in logic. These facts account for the failure of poor Progress. His mental capacity suffers The old Board of Comntission- | wholly incapacitated to discover Ipgic in Progress or any other writer. But fo be serious, it is agolemn thanght that the futes have so arranged, and the Wise Man bat t# the same idea when he asserts that a fvol shall be known by his folly. The idiotie folly of poor Saal Friday in attacking Progress, is but another evidence that the fool-killer has pot been informed of the local habitation of the weak-minded driveler who appear- Llast. week in the Watchman under the cognomen of Saul He evidently thinks he has capacity to rush into print and appear to advantage; but so doves the average lunatie think himself able to rule the destinies of empire. Both, however, are undcr a mental delusion, resalting from lack of brains in the former and misfortune in the latter. The continned and oft repeated allusion to “logie,” without understanding or application in the sickly bantling in which Sanl Friday seemed to be seeking the premium as the ehampion scatter-brain of this local con- test, is evidently the production of a mind wholly unused to the power of thinking, the art of composition, to say nothing of the application of the rules of logic. This leads to the conclusion it is the man Friday who strikes ut Progress, Stranger, & Co. It may be information to some to know how Saul is snapected to be the man Friday whom Progress attaches to the wrecked and lonely Nimrod.” Captured parrots, jack-daws, monkeys, apes, bab- vons, ourangoutangs and cannibals in- variably do their best to imitace their masters, but the imitation is always a laughable burlesque and miserable fail- ure. The master may be an inferior, a burlesque himself; but the imitation be- comes the essence of absurdity, as in the case of Saul Friday. This rule produced un excellent mental photograph of Saul, and thas he was found to be the man Friday, whom the dashing Progress has made the legitimate laughing stock of the local option contest. Saul will please score another “whiskey and kindred spirits” victory for Progress, Jadex, Fair Play and— STRANGER. D> <> a For the Watchman. The Only Route to Sobriety, Prospeeted. NO. 3. | Assuming it to be admitted that all at- tempts, by law, to suppress the use of ardent spirits, as a beverage, are futile, except by the whole people, through their representatives in Washing compelling a “dead stop” to its manufacture aud im- portation, —I think those who earnestly desire to act for the best,—yegardless of preconceived, pet theories? will see that. only a recognition and sagacious regula- tion of, and square dealing with a present, existing and inevitable evil, is the course ot wisdom. As to those who are. still in favor of local prohibition, or to | “Those that are convinced against their will, | Who,stubborn,--stiffuecked,--argue still” lit may be said, that they have one defect, | fatal to suceess, —no practical foundation. (They are like Archimedes, exclaiming, “Give mea place to stand on, and IT will move the world.” The lever is ample,— j the force prodigious,—but there is no ifulernin. They are like the man who | proposed to lift himself up by the straps of lis boots. They make a great Cisplay of muscle, but the application of it is only Vevlenlated to tuercase the resistance in- | stead of overcoming it. Their local pro- | hrbition scheme, if tried, will work more badversely than the sailors plan for lengthening a rope, by cutting a piece | oft one end to splice it on the other.’ A linple abortion. The onset of teetotalers on drinking is too often more in the form of cruel, ag- gressive warfare, than of philanthropic reform. For instance, they say that they (arrogating to be the community) are tax- ed to support the pauperism of drunken- hess in the poor houses. Now, to say nothing of the arrogant assumption of the few weelthy, that they pay the bulk of all the taxes, when, in trath, all that they pay comes indirectly from the mass- es, Whoare poor, through them merely as stewards,--the assertion regarding the poor house is groundless. I deny that the main cause of pauperis is traceable to dvinkiug, even indirectly. But adimit- ting that it is,—- the scant aud meagre food and accomodations, grudgingly fur- nished those pitiable ‘fag ends” of humani- ty, (often overworked for) is long and manifold prepaid by liberal expenditure of money for highly taxed drinks in high- ly taxed sale-rooms, and in the depriva tion of lightly taxed home comforts, for many years, before the repnguant climax and sad finale is reached. There are five Saloons in Salisbury thinly patronized. | know of tao towns in the State, with, each, less than a fourth of its population, that have six saloons each! These five here, pay a yearly tax to town, County and State, of one thousand dollars. And while the unequaled, lavish expenditure of money, by the drinker does, in) many cases, entail sore deprivations on his family, (purely a family concern) the im- petus he gives to the circulation of money does more good to society, though less to i himself, than if he hoarded it, and is con- tinually solving the tax enigma. And how is it. on the other hand, with many of his cold-blooded, taunting abusers ?: snarling, close-fisted carmudgeons: ra- pacious collectors and serew-like grippers of money, Who deny themsevles eggs till hens ean afford to lay them at three cents a dozen, and think barbers overpaid at acent ashave; who don’t drink on prin- ciple, viz, because it costs money and might open their close hearts; would take small steck in fresh air and sun-light, even, if they cost anything, and are »l- most as saving as the Russian miser who learned to bark, to scare off prowlers, and save the expense of keeping a dog. In short, men who living asif they Were poor, all their lives, to be wealthy when they die. Of such are those who conjure up imaginu- ary phantoms of poor house taxes, to haunt their smallesouls: and with such perversion of fact, like inverted steeples, to draw on, coarsely and indiscriminately insalt drinkers in advance. there are and have been, myriads of men with the choicest gifts of heart and mind coupled with the intirmity of ac- casional drunkenness: aud the attractive features of whose characters have only shone more brightly, aud beeu more clearly illustrated by the dark back-ground of this vicious habit, Of such have been many of the greatest factors in the world’s progression and enlightenment ; and the great bulk of mankind, which is humane, lose none of their regard for the men, althongh sincerely deploring this frailty. It is only devotecs of avarice, those ‘“dead-locks” in the path of enter- prise and progress, who, over-rating gold, —nunder-rate true merit, and, like the horse fly, bite into this sore spot: and their censure is, only oblique self-praise, which is always invidious and false to others.

For many reasons, his calling is undesirable, and suitable men who bravely enter the bnsiuesa and fill all the requirements that wholesome law should demand of them, deserve and should receive moral support as prblic benefactors, instead of being furionsly ns- sailed as public carses. When aman decides to draw on the public for a living and the accumulation of wealth, by “selling things,"—it is au overstrain on the imagiuation to view him as a public benefactor. In rare cases he may be, to some extent; but Ais only incentive is pure selfishness: he is wholly “on the make,” however fiir and honora- ble he may be. Now a man with some inoney, whose own and family’s support are dependant on his tact to so invest it as to make it ‘pan out” well, will care- fully survey the field of supply and de- mand, to enable him to choose what ex- isting wants he will cater for, from which hia sagacity suggests the surest returns for his risks, and the largest gains for his pains. If heis aman with a ‘‘proved good moral character,” fitting to be a saloon keeper, and elects to be one, —he comes nearer the right to be entitled “a public benefator,” than if he embark- ed in any other line of trading. A plain admonisher ounce ‘remarked, “Tn observing the) manifold . tardings, twistings and dodgings of honesty, and compromises of integrity, so largely: at- tendant upon the accumulation of wealth, —I confess to a decidedly growing respect for those who don't suceeed”! 1! I will here transeribe, from the annals of the sixteenth century, the last willaud testament of a Parisian usarer, 28 worthy of notice, from the salutory lessons it teaches: “Il order my body returned to the earth, from whenee it came. I give tothe devil the soulsef my wife and daughters, who encouraged me in usary, for the sake of fiue clothes and. good cheer: also the soul of my confessor, who connived at my crimes by his silence.” It is apposite here to let Dr. Fosgate say, in speaking of the many causes of crime that, ‘The periodical issnes of those gor- geous plates of fashion, which, among a people who regard equality in outward adornment as the evidence of social posi- tion,—stimulate a desire for dress, to gratify which, health, wealth and virtue ure too often sacrificed.” It is a vety-e@mmon mistake to de- nominate inordinate gains derived from loaning mouey as usury, and as wholly covering the term and“gepfoach. Money is simply property, —laad, Sabor, ina condensed Rud readily ae : aud he who takes ad vautage of llow- man's ignorance or pressing necessities to tilch his means through exhorbitant returns for snall outlay,—is a usurer. It ap- plies with equal force to the renting of houses and lands, the selling of food and clothes, &c., as to money lending. I will here present a short extract from a vivid reflex of the crime ofavarice and asu- ry as they rode rampant durivg the war, taken from the Sun” of Columbus Ga., March 1865. ‘Men of wealth, who are hoarding thousands, put up the piteonsery of exhorbitant rates,—more bitterly than ever, just after increasing the pee one thousand fold, while ‘upon ragged, blood- drenched soldiers, —upon weary, despair- ing’ heart-sick women, and those whose only dependence is a pitifal yearly sum, must be made to bitterly suffer. But what matters life and death of others, to the speculator, so his avarice can be gratified ? What is honor unattended by wealth? What if the country is ruined, its women ravished, its homes desolated, its altars violated, and freedom forever perish; let these general calamities. avd other countless KFOTS gO. en-80 speculating extortionists may be enabled to amass piles of money and bay up houses and lands! and such are grand home generals who talk Joudly on street corners. of their love of country! and many are leaders in Sauctity who whine about charity, love of souls, and carefully parade all they give, before the public,”4 Many, as I do, will keeuly remem- ber and reevgnise the truthfalness of the above picture, and that while drunkenness was terribly prevalent, the extortionate usurers were all teetotalers !! I must now hasten to offer my respectful regards to Miss Atwell. No one can fail to appreciate her rare mental perspicacity aud pure, brilliant diction, in her delivery of terse and pithy utterauees, truthful as axioms, ina decideded yet sympathetic manner. The forcible enanciations of a lady who has evidently sought for truth, patiently and honestly, and , expresses what she has seen, and suffered, fearless- ly and positively, is,- iudeed, a power,! It would be vain affectation, on-my part, if | did not acknowledge a feeling of pride inspired by the laudatury netics of- my efforts, by such a talented and estimable lady: but, [| confess that my. gratitied feelings are mixed with painful ones: for, while no one can more earnestly desire the utter extinettion of ardent. spirits than myself,—I do not aspire to be a leader. “The object of my communica) tions, at this jancture, is the promotion of fairness to all, the disipation “of mys- tification, and the warning of unsullied youth. Ht does vot surprise me thet Miss Atwell disagrees with some of my asser- tions, for many of them are innovations on very general preconceptious, chiefly hypothetical. [ also, while agreeing with all, deprecate some of her utterances, as I will try to show throagh the foluwing predications. Ladies, in general, are of necessity—from their very uature, educa- tion and position in society—temperate ; and can but little understand the tempta- tions besetting men through their differ- ent natures and associations. Their sphere is different from man’s, and they are armed correspondingly. Men may com- maud: Women mast persnade. Men may breast the rude storms of passion and prejudice ; Women must bend beveath the blast, but can rise, like pliaut reeds, und resume their positions and exert their influence. Weak yet strong; timid yet courageoys; and even strongest and most courageous where the path of duty is the most difficult, and utter abnegation reach such dealers Montgomery recently hired —well, call it inst »—of the 8 warm “‘din- w 71 good humored bat maadiin, in mv t “in his enps,” an indisposi-' to go home aud **fueethe wusir,” and! so prolongs his drinking until his finer seusibilities are entirel fp eanukd aud his coarser beatilities fully braced up: and thea fortified and expecting a con he gets home and repays the farious invec- tive ofadiatracted, pitinble bat foolish wife by “making things lively,” to the extent of breaking furniture, striking his wife, per 7 and even, in his aroused insanity, driving wife aud childrea out of doors. ; All of these horrors could easily be aver- | ted by the true poliey of lbeworing his idiocies, and ewxew restraining ber re- § proachful feelings until the poigeaucy of his shame avd remorse has somewhat subsided and he is Lis natural self again. Even the best of men, (infirw enough) who never drink, “te ahow,” are embit- tered by scoldisg, or even catiens indiff- erence, us “one little story” will serve to prove. A loving husband took Lis wife's Lest pitcher, at her request, to draw some cider. As he was going down the cellar steps, he slipped, aud inorder to savethe erackery, injured himself considerably. While he was rubbing his skin very vigereusly, his wife, thoughtless of his hart, eried out,, “Oh, mercy! have you broken the pitch-, er?” “No, says he, in great wrath,” “buat PH be d—d if 1 don’t” and crash it went against the wall. The only curb to our natural depravi } ty, is watehfally intelligent (not instine- | tive) home training. Only on such a basis can a fine, useful and enduring superstracture be built, Then parents need have small fear of criminal, drank- enor improvident offspring. A Greek philosopher, dving wiflle his family was yet young, left his money in the hands of a friend to be given to his children in case they aout grow up fools: ‘for,” said he “if they are wise they wjll not need it, ang be better off without.” S_ . I wonld suggest to “Saul” that he “sehool” himself a little more, before he ‘undertakes to teach and critisize, —sneer- ingly—men of education, thought and literary culture. His selection of a nom de guerre is unfortunate, except his peo- ple are very dwartish. He is evidently a dwarf himself aud he does not appear any taller by standing his head. Nimrod Jr., liquor is used, primarily to cause the welling up of genial feclings ; but itis also fuel to the fierce passions, when they areaflame. Election day is the cul- mination of the very bitterness of the hate of party spirit, which would be danger- ously inflamed by liquor drinking: None ‘know this fact so well as drinking men, and they are the ardeut advocates of a truce to drinking on such days: hence for such a purpose and with such sup- port, prohibition is easily carried out for a day. In conclusion I again say, it is time to stop deuunciation of suloon keepers. If they are not what theyéshould be, vent your indignation A Golly com mis- sioners. If the latterdo their full duty, no fear but the former will be the “right men in the right place.” They do, not by law, sell liquor to minors; and while saloous remain, adults do not keep bot- tles and jugs: they could do so but, fear the temptation of its handiness: but they will do so when saloous are closed out. The drinking will then be done in the dark, so to speak, with no supervision of law at all; then minors will be in emi- nent danger and a thousand dollars in taxes will be kept out of the town, coun- ty & state treasuries yearly, with plenty of sottish boosiness in plage of previous so- briety. Iwill here present an extract from the “Police Gazette” of last Narch, showing how prohibition and the “sneak detectives” of teetotalers work in Con necticut. “The Rev. Hugh Montgomery,ofthe Central Methodist church of Norwich, has been the most vigilant and active prosecuter of the li- quor dealers, Hehas employed men to lurk about the windows and entrances of suspected bar-rooms, who, on the slightest presumption of guilt against the dealers, have brought the charge of “ a place where it is repnted liquors are sold,” and in the majority of most cases have secured conviction. Of late ithas become so difficult for the dealers to carry on the traffic that they have carried their stock of liquors in the numerous pockets of their coats, and sold only to men who were known to be trustwor- thy or to persons not residents of the town. To ‘of, Ldranken lapses of William A. Butler, of Lebanon, a district ru- ral town, to approach the suspected parties. Butler bought liquor of two parties, Tom Keep and Patrick Moriarty, and strajtway had them arrested. Butler testified that Mongom- ery gave him $3 for his services, and Mr, Mons gomery admitted the fact, asserting that the money wis paid to cover Butler's expences. The case hinged on the question whether it is legitimate to eommit one crime, that of solici- ting a man to break the law, in view of a pos- sible greater good to be effected by punishin him. City Attorney Ripley asserted that suc a syatem of espionage is necessary, and is every- where employed in the detection of different crimes. Counseler Shields, forthe defence, ar- raigned Montgomery and his spies as equal criminals with the dealers who broke the law. There was great excitement during the law- yer's plea, the sympathies of the croweded court-room being manifestly with the defen- dants The address of Judge Kellogg togk strong ground against the uxe by any one of what he termed immoral means in the detection and suppression of crime. “I shall tolerate no such means,” the Judge said, “and «hall not sanc- tion them by the conviction of any one who is apprehended in that way.” The above prelibation of “1c cal prohibi- tion,” through another party as taster, will be suggestive to sensible people, who try to profit by the experience of others as well as their own. Spies, informers, &c., are the synonyms of atrocity the world over, compared with whom, the ordinary “‘busy bodies” are saints: bat “sneak detectives,” without whose agen- cy “local prohibition” has not a ghost of hope, are drawn from the most detesti- ble elements of humanity ; aud of whom, unfortanately, every community has its uota; but who are comparatively harm- Bi until “backed up” by respectable citizens, who are blinded by fanaticism.

To the Patrons of Husbandry of North Carolina. BrotHers AND Sisters :—At the Jast mecting of the State Grange the duty of reorganizing and building up our order was imposed on the master. In order that he might the more effi- ciently accomplish this oblect, it re- quired of him that he canvass the State, and that such means might from time to time be adopted as cir- cumstances would scem most to de- mand, Full power was delegated him to use discretion in perfecting the plan of operations, I accordingly entered the field about the first of March, and after trying several methods that did not prove altogeth- er satisfactory, [ have adopted the following programme for the pres- ent. My attention until the first of July will be given chiefly to the revival of the dormant, and to the strengthen- ing of the weak, granges. I shall address the public at the courts and at other appointed places in each county. My time is limited, and the field being large, the work cannot be, by me, completed, The former mem- bers of the order, and the friends of our cause must lend their kind assis- tance and co-operation, I do hereby appoint the last master of each dormant grange, a special deputy to work up and revive his par- ticular grange, Ifa new grange de- sires to be organized, a deputy will be appointed for this purpose. The State grange has remitted the past dues against all (lormant granges, and also the monthly dues against the indi- vidual members thereof; and it now fraternally asks those who have once been with us that thay come back again, and reorganize under their old charter, and go to work, as if no gap had ever occurred in their operations, or reports. When organized, the master will at once report to the mas- ter, and secretary of the State grange. The master will send you the annual word, with such other instructions as you may require ; and the secretary will send you the necessary blanks, &e, In consultation with the executive committee, the following terms of re- union have been agreed on: Each for- mer male member js to pay the sum of fifty cents toward the master’s and deputy’s fund. Of the amount so col- lected from those who come jn at the organization one halfis to be for- warded direct to the master of the Btate grange, and the other half goes to the subordinate master, or deputy, who works up the grange. After the organization, all old male members who apply to join, are required to pay a like amount, and the sum col- Jected from such is sent to the secre- tary of the State grange along with the quarterly dues, Former mem- bers of any dormant grange either before, or after, organization without any demit, or other formality save the consent of the new organization, t ee ean ane — OTE ete aie order are not reqtired to pay any as-" sessment for re-admission. After organization all applications for membership, either from old mem- bers, or from new applicants, must be subjected to a ballot: and new mem- bers must comply with the terms as prescribed in Ait. VII of the consti- tution of the National Grange. This plan of special deputies will continue in foree until the first of July, when it will be revoked, and county or dis- trict deputies will be appointed with authority both to work up dormant granges and organize new ones ; and I do hereby request of each subordi- nate master that he recommended county, or district, suitable for such appointment. It affords me much pleasure to say to you that since I have been. labor- ing in the field the harvest has been great. Success far surpassing my ex- pectations has crowned my efforts. With your co-operation and kind as- sistance, I truly believe that during the summer we can recruit our shat- tered ranks and reorganize an army of grangers stronger and mightier than ever before apjeared on the field of North Carolina. W. H. CHEEK, Master. —_-_—__ G rant’s Presidency. From the National Intelligencer, July 30 1963, “Gen. Grant has identified himself with a faction which openly insults and defies the constitution, which has of popular liberty, which seeks to subvert free instttutions, which has plundered the treasury and burden- ed the people with taxes, which has run riot in excess, which disowns all restraint but its own tyrannical will, which has crippled the judiciary, paralyzed the executive, and accumu- lated in its own hands powers wres- ted by force and fraud from other de- partments, and which now seeks by despotism and violence to continue its ruinous ascendency, even at the cost of civil war.” From the New York Dally Tribune, March 8, 'T6. “Tet us confess it with shame. President Grant has dropped as by easy stages to these depths of shame. He has parenthasized in history eight years which will be marked hereafter as the era of personal government and the period of greed. Eight years of such official corruption and dishones- ty, such selfishness, and shamelessness, such low aims and base purpos: s, such such grasping avarice cn eager over- reaching, such speculating in official information, such bribery and such barter and sale of offices, and such de- gradation ofall things which the nation has held to be high and holy and worthy an honest pride, that to- day the country hangs its head, and holds it nose, and waits this adminis- tration to pass.” Gen.

Peaches, except on very high situations, are almost all killed. Apples ure plenty. They did not bloom sufficiently early for the frost to seriously injure them. Mechanics, hereabout, who are exelu- sively such, are not very plenty, most of | them being ‘‘Jacks of all trades, and good at nove.” Carpenters and ‘Luinber meu,’ Whom the Selous of our Legisla- ture so graciously bless’d with a Laborer’s Lien Law, to the exclusion of nearly ev- ery other laboring class, are doing quite well; though they would wear better countenances and swear less, if people were nore disposed to build than they pow ure. Lawyers are searce over here. They, asé cluss, have made more money since the ate war than all other literary classes combined. Forty years ago, a lawyer, unless quite talented, and considerably experienced, could not make much won- ey at his profession ; and, if his cranial walls happened to be somewhat thick, he could not make enough to pay bis tavern- bills, and would soon be compelled either totuke the oath of inselvency, or go te jail. How different now! Many who never kuew any thing of the principles of Elementary Law, and little more of Stat- ute Law than a township constable, with nothing to recommend them but a cocked hat, high-heeled boots, a halt-cent che- root between the lips, and claw-hammer coat, have actually grown rich since the war, Of such there are nove in’ this vi- einity ; and I hope to be able to say this next year. Prencheis over this way are sufticient- ly numerous, unless they were better teachers In the synagogues. They, un- | like the legal fraternity, do not make | much money at their profession ; but, on the contrary, When dependent on volun- tary contributions alone, are as poor as Lazarus ever dared to be. Some of them enhance their scanty iucomes by riding stallious, and vending patent medicines, thus carrying on a triplex business. Many of them are, no doubt, good eh, apd deserve better pay; while others, perbaps, would dg well to lay aside their sacerdutal robes for a season, aud repent thoroughly before attempting again to preach, Physicians in this and surrounding Beighborhoods, as also in every other part of North Carvliva, are haivng a_ truly kavtty time, They are almost all poor nowadays. None realize much money from the practice of their profession alone. Why so? Because their sentiments of humanity and christianity drive them to practice toilsomely and expensively for me half of their patients, who could, but will not, pay them. ‘Their rights ignored by every legislature of North Carolina for the lust ten years, they have nevertheless, With becoming modesty, and without complaint, continued unceasingly to im- rove iu all things that pertain to an en- ightened theory and practice of their profession.

ICHTIHYOPHAGOS, eet chin eee For the Watchman. THE BLUE LAWS OF NEW ENGLAND. CONCLUDED. Amoug the New England Puritans, as we have seen, “the mere toleration of dif- ferent forms of Worship was condemned M6 unquestionable sin.” ‘They also con- sidered it “a heinous sin to be present Wheu prayers are read out of a book by a Viear or bishop,” and they taught, “that the lovers of Zion had better put their ears to the mouth of hell, and learn from the whispers of the devils, than read the Yishops’ books.” [Wilb. 71] “if,” says Cotton Mather, in 1647, sey- ral years after Land had been murdered by the Puritans of England, ‘after men Continue in obstinate rebellion against the light. the civil magistrate shall walk ‘owards them in soft and gentle commis- Wration, his softness and gentleness is excessive large to foxes aud wolves, but his Lowels are miserably straightened and hardened against the poor sheep and lambs of Curist. Nor is it frustrating the end of Christ’s coming, but a direct advancing it, to destroy the bodies of those Wolves who seek to destroy the souls of those for whom Christ died.” [C. Mather, Magnatia, i, 7, Wilb.77} And Mather was only re-echoing the *Pitions and ideas of his English friend And apologist, the distinguished Richard tter, the author of that excellent book, “Saints’ Rest.” ter, unlimited liberty and toleratifA of “T abhor,” said Bax- | ; all; and think myself able to prove the wickednesa. of it.” [Quoted in Neal, Suppl. iii, 368) By a law of Massachusetts, passed on the 14th of October, 1656, it was’ enacted ! that any Quaker latiding” oi the “eoast Should be seized and Whipped; . then. im- prisoned with hard labor ; and finally ex- pelled from the colony. [Curteis Bamp- _ton Leet. 82. De Toqueville i, 64] “ And these laws were rigorously enforced i Three Quaker women were stripped to | the waist, amid frost and snow, and ‘flogged through eleven towns. [Geo. | Fox, Jaurnal, i, 389, quoted by Curteis] | Four persons were hanged together, a , drummer preventing any of their dying ' words from being heard. The very cap- | tains of vessels were flogged for bringing , Quakers into port. And every Roman Catholic priest who returned after one expulsion, was put todeath. [De Toque- ville i, 64: quoted by Curteis] Connect- icut borrowed most of its laws and judicial proceedings from Massachusetts. Mr. Trumbull even voluntarily concedes as much. [Blue Laws, p. 333] In 1650, a code of laws was drawn up for this col- ony. It began thus: ‘Whoover shall worship any other God but the Lord shall be put todeath.’ Blasphemy, adul- | tery, sorcery, theft, disobedience to parents, were, pnnished with death— because the book of Leviticus had so pun- ished them; and people were forced by fines to attend divine service. [De Toqueville i, 62: quoted by Curteis] In July 1651, a Mr. Obediah Holmes, a Bap- tist, was well whipt’; and that so barba- rously, that for some weeks he could only take rest upon his knees and elbows, and the historian adds, ‘bonds and imprison- ment awaited all Baptists in New Eng- land.’ {[Cramp. Bap. Hist. 409: quoted by Curteis} As late as 1750, an old man who had been long a member of the Eng- lish Chusch, was whipped publicly for not attending the congregational meeting. And they fined heavily, in the same year, au Episcopal clergyman of English birth and education, on the pretence that he had broken the ‘Sabbath’ by walking home too fast from church; and at Hart- ford, one of the judges of the county court, assisted by the mob, palled down a rising charch, and with the stones built a mansion for his son. [Wilb. Amr. Ch. 110) “It was the Congregationalist clergy,” says Cramp, the Baptist histo- rian, “by whow the magistrates in New England were “instigated” to commit such violence and excesses, and to enforce —- — _ _ _ _ _ , . such laws. I have purposely omitted mentioning some of the worst acts of the New Eng- land Povitans of the 17th and 1&th cen- turics. They are too disgusting and cruel to chronicle, and it is pot a pleasant thing to go through the mental torture of re- calling these facts to the remembrance of Christian men and women of the present day. Tam not accusing the old Puritans for their intolerance and = barbarity ; for in their times, intolerance inherited from former ages infected more or less all re- ligious parties. [Dr. Stangton: quoted by Curteis] Hume goes so far as to credit no denomination, if left to itself, with the virtue of toleration. He says: “If among Christians, the English and Datch have embraced the principles of toleration, this singularity has proceeded from the steady resolution of the civil mayistrate. [Essays ii, 438] Curteis says, ‘Luther invoked the civil sword against the Anabaptists; Calvin burnt Servetus; Cranmer burnt Jane Bonchier ; and of Cartwright a dissenting writer says, ‘Parker and Whitgift persecuted the Puritans ; but if Cartwright had been in Whitgift’s place, he would have dealt out equal persecution to Baptists and Independents.” [Bamp. Lee. 69] In the 16th and 17th centuries, the very men who were crying out the loudest for ‘re- ligious freedom’ themMelves, ¢onstantly and most inconsistently Tefpsed — the slightest ‘toleration’ to any, options but their own. We can scarcely believe “that Bunyan, whom the latest historian of the Baptists claims as the brightest ornament of their communion, should have said, ‘I would be (and hope I an) a Christian. * * Butas for those fac- tious titles of Anabaptists, Independents, M . * or the like,—I conclude they come neither from Jerusalem nor Antioch, but rather from Hell and Baby- lon. For they naturally tend to divis- ions; you may know them by their fruits.” [Cramp, p. 380, Ap..Gould, 295: quoted by Curteis.] Now while [ don’t aceuse the Puritans of being more wicked than other men, on account of their persecutions, at the same time I do not ercuse them, and clear them of all guilt. Every religious sect and party has its own sins of omission and commission to auswer for, as well as the Puritans. But it will not do for the modern apologists of the Puritans to en- deavor to poison the sources of history, to blacken the characters of reputable historians, and to slander a numerous and respectable body of Christians, for the sole purpose of changing the verdict which history has rendered against the Puritans of New England. The chief arguments used by these apologists are, that the author of the Blue Laws is an ‘unadulterated’ and ‘inconscionable liar’ and ‘forger’—forgetting that Frost, Ban- croft, Hildreth, Hinman, and dozens of other historians all testify to the sub- stantial truth of everything contained in the notorious ‘blue code’ of Peters, who did not pretend to qote the laws as con- tained in that “code” from any book of statutes. He acknowledged that they were mainly laws of usage and custom. man, who has written a book upon’ the “Blue Laws,” says that he has gone over the collection of Peters, and expresses , Surprise that the latter should bave been so correct. And the Rev. A. B. Chapin, D. D., a man of wonderful learning, and of great piety, suid that Dr. Peters was obliged to draw upon his -recolleetion for his materials ; while if he had bad chap- ter and verse to go by, as he himself had in his controversy with Dr, Bushwell, he would have been a severer historian for puritauic misdemeanors than he is al- veady. (Churchman, Ang. 11; 1877] When IT hear men admit the bluishness of ‘the old Puritan laws,’ and then denounce Dr. Peters for all that is black in the eat- alogue of crimes, charging him with hav- ing vilely “invented and forged” a blue | code, I am tempted to ask these self- confident critics which, and how many, of the laws compiled by Peters, are forgerics, and which genuine. Ihave already shown that the laws of a genuine code of old Massachusetts were quite as bad as, if not worse than, any of the Blue Laws of the Peters “Code.” And from what investi- gation I have giyen the matter, I think I can safely guarantee, that for every law of Peters which can be shown to be an error, I can find another old) Puritan law which Peters overlooked, just as bad, to put in its place. Itisa very easy thing for Mr. J. Hammond Trumbull, and the New York Christian Observer to call Dr. Peters a ‘liar’ and ‘rogue’—but it will be somewhat more difficult to prove these charges. Dr. Samuel Peters was born in Hebron, Conn., in 1735, where he lived until the year 1774. He was a_ highly esteemed, pious and popular clergyman, of the Episcopal Church. He was driven out of Hebron in 1774, by a cruel and blood-thirsty mob, whose cruelties and barbarities, inflicted upon their innocent victims, were enough to have shocked the sensibilities of any man with a spark of goodness in his heart. His life was threatened, and but for the courage of his friends in) Hebron—who rescued him from the hands of the mob—he would have becn murdered. He was compelled to leave the country with his family, the ladies of whieh had also been grossly in- sulted by this fanatical mob. It was in London, shortly after this, that he wrote his general History of Conneeticnt. Dr. Peters returned to this country in 1805; and died in New York in 1826, beloved and respected by all who knew him. In 1794 he was elected Bishop of Vermont, but declined to aceept the office. The facts stated in his history were not called in question during his lifetime, and his great-grandson, Samuel J. McCormick, in an article published in the ‘Church- man” of June 2d, 1877, says, “That the work was well received by the intelligent people of New England, 1 have positive proof in letters to Dr. Peters, from par- ties residing there at the date of its recep- tion in the colony, and who indorsed it as a true history at the time it was written.” He also says: “I have in my possession correspondence to Dr. Peters from 1772 to 1826, and iu no single in- stance can I find an expression that does not breathe of ‘love,’ ‘gratitude’ and ‘respect.’ These Ictters are not from oue class of society alone, but range through all classes—from a nobleman to his slaves—and from various countries. I] would now ask, Could any one (except those imbued with the former fanaticisims of their Connecticut ancestors) apply the epithet of ‘liar’ and ‘rogue’ to Dr. Peters? The truth is not always palatable, and as the New York Sun says, in its comments on Mr. Trumbull’s book: The early laws of Connecticut have a specially bad name.’ It seems passing strange, that as of- ten as these very ‘Blue Laws’ have been mencioned during the past céntury by so many writers and authors of high staud- ing, we do not fiud a person having the boldness to refute them, upon any grounds of authority until the present time; when possibly the greater portion of the documents substantiating the facts have been destroyed, and all interest in the matter has ceased to exist.” Again, he says: ‘Mr. Trumball pub- lishes the laws of the colony for the years 1639, 1650 and 1656, showing that no laws were then in technical existence like those published by Dr. Peters, but unfortu- nately showing that such laws were in virtual existence, and even quite as blue, though clothed iu inore subtle phraseol- ogy. Dr. Peters, in his history, says: ‘And did not similar laws still prevail over New England as the common law of the country, I would have left them iy si- lence, along with Mr. Mather’s Putres Conscripti, and the renowned saint of Mr. Neal, to sleep fo the eud of tine.

The issue in the easé does not str- prise us. I will be ¥émembered that we predicted it a week after the trage- dy. Human life has come to be so cheap that we have about ceased: to look for executions in-eases where the mur- derers have nioney or friends. The law rears its majestic crest with awe- inspiring severity in the face of the poor devil who has neither, but it bows and.smiles obsequiously in the pres- | ence of wealth and “influence and touches with gloved hand the man who can command either, ‘Oh, it is terrible,” said poor Alston, ashe threw himself intoa chair in the State treasurer’s office, “to be hunted down in this way” but Cox said heonly fired in self-defence, and Cox’s lawyers said that it was all.a conspiracy on the part of Alston and his friends to take the life of their client! “I will not have any difficulty with you unless I vinced of the genuineness of the “Blue | Laws.” I wouder what the Unitarians, ' Roman Catholies, Baptists, and Quakers | of New England think about this ques- tion. They were persecuted under these Jaws much morethan the Episcopalians. I should like to know what the late Jus- tice Story—a Massachusetts Unitarian— meant, when he solemuly declared, “that. Puritan New England virtually establish- ed an Inquisition, with a full share of its terrors and violence.” —Story’s Miscel., 66, | qouted by the “Churchman.” — Episcopa- lians are by no means the only believers in the aufhenticity of the Blne Laws. On the coutrary, itis only recently that any | persons have been found willing publicly to pronounce them spurious ; aud the lead- | ers in this new movement have declared | themselves in a disingenous way by de- nying the existence of a ‘code of statutes,” | when even Peters himself bad admitted | that these laws as a whole lad never been | enacted in that form. The faet is, that the Puritans having started oat with the assumption, that the “laws of God” were in fall force all over New England, their | magistrates and judges, at the dictation of | the Puritan clergy, not only had it in their power to interpret the meaning of, but also make the law. All they had to do was to say that such and such an ac- tion was either in accordance with or con- trary to the “law of God”—notwithstan- | ding this opinion might, at the same time, | be a strained, unnatural and altogether , false interpretation. The Blue Laws have | become historical. They are believed in | by all sorts of learned meu and Christians. Their substantial truthfuluess can be proved out of the mouths of the most par- | tial and partisan Puritan historians and chroniclers. However much he may be willing to overlook the faults, and to excuse the sins of the Connecticut Puritans, Ido not un- derstand how ‘More Avea” can, conclude “that the laws of Connecticut were indeed sometimes rigorous, but never inhuman.” “Man’s inhumanity to man makes count- less thousand® mourn!’ And that is/ what the Connecticut laws made thoas- ands of Episcopaliaus, Baptists, Quakers, Unitarians, Roman Catholics aud Presby- terians do; for all these weie more or less persecuted for alleged disobedience of most iniquitons laws. The melancholy facts which I have ex- racted from the history of the early reli- gionists of New England, ought to teach us all lessons of wisdom and moderation. It should make all Christians of tris eu- lightened age sensible of the evils engen- | dered by religious bitterness, discord and ‘and intolerance. Every Christian is ' bound to believe in “the truth of the gos- i pel’—“the truth as it is in Jesus.”—but ‘because we think our brother errs in his ‘faith is no reason why we should either hate or kill him. The best Christians are those “who have a conscience void of of- fence toward God and toward men,” and to such Christians, God will, by His Holy Spirit, enlighten their minds with the truth. “If any man will do God’s will,” saith the Saviour, ‘the shall know of the doctrine.” Let us therefore have charity, one for another ; fur *‘charity thinketh no evil, rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth”—and itis the “truth” which shall make us “‘free.” VERITAS. | “Judge,” said aJawyer to “His Hon- or” during a lull in a case on trial, “what du you consider the best illus- trated paper?” ‘A thousand dollar tank note,” growled the judge. am forced to,” said Alston, when he had dodged his blood-thirsty enemy as long as he could and exhausted every expedient which he could de- vise to escape his awful.fate. “Then I will force you,” was the response. “Cox,are you going to shoot me? Cox, are you’ going to shoot me now?” pleaded the doomed man—pleaded he for his life like a very child. The State treasurer, who swore to this col- lofuy, did vot hear Cox’s reply but they fired simultaneously. The grass grows on Alston’s grave, but the jury say. that the red-handed murderer who deliberately planned this cruel deed and relentlessly carried his bru- tal purpose to thend, hunting down his enemy as a wild beast hunts down its prey, does net deserve to die! Hemp grows in vain, and “he who sheds man’s blood by man shall his blood’ be shed,” was written for naught. But there would be less in this ver- dict than there is to shock the sensi- bilities of people, if there were the slightest probability that even the mild judgment which has been ren- dered, against the prisoner would be enforced against him. But the same influence whieh saved his neck will follow him even to the shadow of the penitentiary’s walls, and when its gates are closed upon him will do its powerful work for him elsewhere. A Governor’s pardon will intervene e’en before his hands become inured to toil and before one-fourth the, remainder of hig, natural lite will have been spent, the erimanal will walk. forth a free man. Mark it! Then Iet no man cross him in a trade. Let no man refuse to break a bargain with another if Cox demands that it be done. The click of the re- volver will remind him. of Alston’s fate, and if he still decfines to yield, let his aim be deadlier than that of Alston or death in his boots will be the heritage of his children.—Char- lotte: Oéserver. ee ae Hendersonville Cowrier, Ist: On Friday morning last, about 9 o’clock, near Grange postoffice, in Transylvania county, Mrs. Mary Ann Tueker, wife of B.

How are we to make this sugar into candy, into many candies we see, from lozenges, drops, stick candy, and all kinds, to rock candy, so unlike all how very different! We must start somewhere. Let us takea teacup half full of boiling water and drop’a lamp of sugar into ‘it. It dissolves. Pat in another lump, ‘and another ; they dissolve, The sugar disappears, and the water becomes thick. We are making a syrup. Weare getting sugar in a liquid state. What was hard and white now has become liquid and transparent, a great change truly. Now keep on adding sugar as Jong as the water will dissolve any, and when no more will be dissolved put the cup aside, in a warm place, Hang a thread in the liquid, and look at it every day. . In a Jay or two, or more, I can’t : tell you how soon, as that will depend upon the relative amount ofsugar and water, you will find little bits of clear sugar sticking to the thread. Let them Nene for several days, still keep- ing ioee in a warm place, and you will find the bits of sugar becoming larger and of more regular shape. Why, it is rock candy! Exactly so. This is the way in which rock candy is made. Just as much sugar as it will dissolve is put in water, usually in a tub, and threads are hung in the syrup, and the whole put in a warm place. Gradually the sugar leaves the water and gathers upon the threads. Not in a shapeless mass, but all in beautiful crystals, more nicely formed than you could possibly make them, and as clear and transparent as glass. This, then, is the way in which rock candy is made. Sugar after it has been“dissolved in water, is allowed to deposit itself slowly and quietly. The regular forms it takes are called crys- tals, and they are always of the same shape, whether large or small, and are formed with as much care and beauty is if they were diamonds or other precious stones. You will ask why they form upon strings. Crys- tals always form upon rough surfaces sooner than upon smooth ones. I cannot tell you why any more than Iean tell why boys and girls like candy.

He left his room as if to take a walk: for recreation. He left his best cloth- ing, his watch, his books open, and his lamp burning, as if to be absent but a few minutes. For some days apprehensions were felt by his friends and acquaintances, which were inereas- ed by the fact that he was known to have received a considerable sum of money ov the day he left, and foul play is painful suspected. Theése ap- preheusions increased upon his non-ap- pearance, ind excited his fellow students so much thag study was impossible, ed. The students turned out in a body, scouring the country north and west of the University for five or six miles, leaving hardly a leaf un- turned that might hide bis, body.

WESTERN N. C. RAILROAD. The State Board of Iuternal Improve- ments mct with the Directors of the W. N. C. Kailroad at Henry on the 13th, when the following proceedings were had: J. W. Wilson, Esq., was re-elected Pre- sident; and 3. P. Erwin, Secretary and Treasurer. = On account of extension of work beyond the Blue Ridge and the increased demand upon the time and labor of the President, who has heretofore been both President and Chief Engineer, it was deemed advis- able to separate the olices, and Col. Thad. Coleman, one of the best civil engineers of the State, was elected Chief Engineer, und given the salary of Mr. Clayton, late Supt. of Construction, relieved, his office being united with that of Supervisor of Convicts; and in future, Maj. R. P. Atkin- son, prescnt supervisor, will perform the duties both of supervisor and superinten- dent of construction. The Directors be- ing of opinion that the relief thus given the President from construction work would enable him to manage the finished part of,the road without assistance, deci- ded, in the interest of economy (which is greatly needed), to remove Capt. A. G. Haly burton from the Transportation de- partmeat which he has performed with great fidelity for the last twelve months, and put this labor on the President. Capt. Tom. Murphy and B. Newland were clected conductors—very good ap- poiptments; but we regret to lose that jovial and clever man, Col. L. B. Hender- sou, su deservedly popular as a conductor. It is confidently expected that the road will be completed to Asheville by 1st of Junuary next. The State Board of Int. Improvement and the Directors of the road, expressed themselves as well pleas- ed at the progress made under the man- agement of Maj. Wilson and assistants, attended as it has been, with so many and great difficulties to overcome. a om Mr. Biock, an Englishman, traces the hard times in the business world to an accumulation of disasters and mistakes in different countries within the last 25 years.

These terrible dis- asters he thinks was sufticient in them- selves to disturb the financial and indus- trial interests of the civilized world, by the waste of capital, the withdrawal of men from productive labor, and the im- poverishment of multitudes who ceased to be buyers of merchandise, and virtual- ly became non-producers, ‘To these causes he adds another which he regards as of the first magnitude, to wit, speculy- tion in railroad schemes wherein millions of money became non-productive by reason of being locked up in roads which were not needed, have and never can pay for their construction by avy benefit they can conter. We think Mr. Block has taken a very sensible view of the subject. The effect of causes such as he enumerates is no longer confined to the countries in which the causes occur, but their consequences and results affect the whole social system of nations bound together by commercial tics. As the stone thrown into the lake makes a wave that spreads out to the distant shore, moving every Hoating ob- Jeet on its surface, so wars and famines and national wastefulness in one country, make themselves felt in all the rest. eo HURRA FOR CATAWBA. and never The Piedmont Press says a majority of the board of county commissioners of Catawba are opposed to granting license for the retail of spirituous liquors, and a majority of the board of town commis- sioners of Hiekory are of the same faith, su the dram drinkers of the commubity will have to make other arrangements than that of getting their drinks at a bar room. There is not a more intelligent, earnest and practical people te be found in the State than in the county of Catawba. While Rowan is discussing the local op- tion question throngh the columns of the Watchman with learned ability, Catawba rushes in and seizes the bull (the liquor traftic) by the horus and backs him out of the county ! “Thar now! That's sense,” as Judge Cloud would say, “sense—sense !” From the present sigus of the times Rowan will not be far behind Catawba. The opposers of prohibition have certain- ly displayed ability and skill in their efforts to overcome plain and obvious fasts, but we think they have failed to overturu the strong convictions of tho masses, whose good common sense views vf the stbject have come to them through years of experience and observation.

The President ve toed the Military Inutetference Bill on Monday. An ‘ab- stract report of the message accompany- ing the return of the Bill, puts his action on the ground, mainly, that the bill would deprive the President of the power to enforce the laws of the country at places and times where and when its elections are held. We quote the two last paragrahps of the views of the President, as follows : “Under the sweeping terms of the bill the national government is effectually shut out from the exercise of the right and from the discharge of the imperative duty to use its whole executive power, whenever and wherever required, for the enforcement of its laws at places and times where and when its elections are held. The employment of its organized armed forces for ony such purpose would be an offence against the law unless called for by and therefore upon the permission of the authorities of the State in which the oecasion arises. What is this but the substitution of the State government for the discretion of the government of the United States as to the performance of its own duties? In my judgment this is an abandonment of its obligations by the na- tional government, a subordination of.na- tional authority and an intrusion of State supervision over national duties which amounts in spirit and tendency to State supremacy. “Thongh I believe that the existing statutes abundantly adequate to eom- pletely prevent military interference with the elections, in the sense in which the phrase is used in the title of this bill, and is employed by the people of this coun- try, 1 shall find no difficulty in concurring in any additional legislation limited to that object which does not interfere with the indispensable exercise of the powers of the government under the constitution and laws. The veto message came up next day when the previous question on the pas- sage of the Bill over the President’s veto was demanded. It failed to receive a two-thirds vote. It failed byastrict par- ty vote, the Democrats voting solidly for and the republicans against it—ten greenbackers with the democrats and three not voting at all. The message was then referred to the Judiciary Committee. We quote from the telegraphic reports from Washington as follows: THE DEMOCRATS AND THE VETO. It was announced to-day by parties supposed to be well informed as to the movements of the Democratic party of the House, that there would be a caucus of the joint advisory gommittee held this evening to determine what course was most practicable to be pursued on the bill to prevent military interference at elections. Upen inquiry, however, a member of the committee stated to-night that the advisability of holding such a meeting had been discussed, but it was the general sentiment of the members of the committee that it was unnecessary for them to take any action at this time, there being no need for a hasty disposal of the measure. The following probably foreshadows the course of the Democrats : The Washigton correspondent of the Philadelphia Times, telegraphing Sunday night, says; A very prominent Demo- cratic member of the House, when asked this evening what his party proposed to do, since it was certain the President would veto the caucus bill prohibiting the presence of troops at the polls, said that he could not answer for the whole party. “I think, however,” said he, “that the army bill will be allowed to go to the devil. We can afford to go to the people on the issue if the President vetoes the bill. For my ewn part [ would stand out forever befure voting for the army appro- priation bill. We have given the Presi- dent every chance, and if he chooses not to take advantage of the opportunity it is not our fault.” “But what will you do with reference to the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill ?” “Well,” said he, “we will through both Houses the President. If the President vetoes it, which is likely, we will make a bill cov- ering the marshals and supervisors and pass that. This will mndoutledie be vetoed. Then we will make anotber bill repealing the test oath for jurors, and this the President will sign. Then we will pass the legislative bill and go home. But the arwy bill will not be passed, you may be sure. We will go to the people on the issue raised by that bill, and we shall win.” cr OD ei 136 Loxes of manufactured tobacco were seized in this county a day or two ago and brought to this place Wednesday night, They were secreted in a barnin the northeastern portion of the county. The Ways of raiders seem past finding out.— Statesville American. Yes, the discoveries of raiders are often mysterious, but the solution Inay nearly always be found in the act of some secret spy, whose covetousness, cupidity or matice betrayed the offender for the sake of reward. Human instincts rise with greater indignation against the sneak in: former than against the offender. And herein lies one of the strongest ohjections to the internal revenue system: it is con- trary to the genius of our free institutions and to the long used liberty of the citi- zen, aud to this, and the difficulty and cost of strict obedience to the law, is due the frequent attemps at blockading. Blockading is wrong. Every man is bound by an oath, actual or implied, to obey the law. But men under the newly im- posed restriction will offset the obliga- tion by saying the law is wrong, and in that way seek to justify its violation. —— ie 2 first pass it and then send it to RAILROADING.—There was a railroad meeting at Wilkesboro on the Sth, in the interest of the Yadkin Valley Railroad scheme.

The farmer who keeps himself with the modern improvements—cook stoves, sewing machines, plows, hoes, wagons, reapers, feed eutters, corn shell- ers, etc., etc.; unless he had a surplus cap- ital on which to draw, nine times out of ten will find himeelf in a “tight place” occassionally, and at the least, on balanc- ing the years account, discover that he has not saved anything. These things are excellent, and reduce the amount of labor to be done on the farm and in the family ; but the cheaper ways of getting along will often save a man from sleepless nights, from mortgages, and a sacrifice of horse, or a cow, or the plantation itself. We have been led to make these remarks on hearing a man say he had been pushed up for money to pay for a $45 cook stove and $45 sewing machine. Modern im- provements cost this man at least $75 more than the old ways cf cooking and sewing, and unless he can make a saving in time and money out of the new meth- ods that will more than compensate for the change, he has paid that much for the naked pleasure of keeping up with the times. This is the money view of the sab- ject alone. He has gained a great deal in the matters of ease and comfort, and if he can afford to pay $75 a year for this it h nobody’s business but his own. Nor, in- deed, if it should cause him trouble, does it entitle any one to say he has done wrong. We note it as one of the ways by which people become poor, and subjected te pecuniary embarrassments. —_ rn cr The Southern admirers of Col. Pat Donan, (not long siiee an editor at Ral- eigh, N.

Pat is said to have ‘‘conce- ded all that the most violent republican newspapers of the North had ever said of the Southern people and Southern in- stitutions.” The quotations we have seen are more than mere concessions. The Colouel was writing for the northern market this time, and he wrote to please his customers; and in doing 80, gave it to the south in his peculiar and forcible style as she rarely ever catches it. It is rather hazzardous te tie to just such bril- liant men as this Col. Donan, floating around promiscuously, more than all desirous ofan opportunity toair themselves without regard to consistency.

Liberal arrange- ments have been made to make the oc- casion of interest and profit to those who may attend. Col. L. L. Polk, Commie- sioner Agriculture, and Rev. J. B. Boone, are expected to deliver addreases. Those engaged in agricultural pursuits, will doubtless hear Polk which they* may carry hame for future use. The public generally is in- vited, and we doubt not the attendance will be large. —————~r4 WALKING Race.—Five men entered on a walking match at Newbern last week : they were to go as they pleased 25 miles in the shortest time. Only two of them held out to complete the distance—one of them at 4 hours and 27 minutes ; the other, 4 hours and 33 minutes. The win- ner fainted shortly after completing his 25th mile, while the man next to him on coming out, stood on bis head and seemed not much wearied, e something from Col. |~ sonal a teevaduntpllemeaitgereeegaadiee ate ee ore TEMPERANCE ‘Szawen. —The .

Renn expects to preach, Sunday week, on Prohibitory law-with especial reference to the liquor traffic. The Wilmington papers advert toa general desire of the people there to close stores and suspend business on the 20th instant, in honor of the Mecklenburg Declaration. The day wil! be observed at Charlotte with all the usual formal- ities and ceremonies, and will no doubt be an occasion of much interest to those who wait upon them. Some ef the busi- ness houses of Siatesville will suspend business, and the military will be out on that day throughout the State. . ee Now ok NEver.—The last Congress passed an act limiting the Act of July 4th, 1864, which provides for the payment of claims against the Government for property taken from citizeus by the Fed- eral troops during the war. The limita- tion is fixed on-claims filed on or before the Ist December, 1879. Those persons having such claims will therefore improve the time from now until December to have them filed, otherwise, after that time, they will not be received. ————__ ~~ “A Speck or War.”—-Under this head the newspapers report a difficulty between two North Carolina representatives in Con- gress—Kitchen and Russell—our represen- tative Mr. Armfield, acting as the friend of the former with the view to an adjustment. The difficulty grew out of words uttered in debate. They have been “ wooling” cach other and making themselves famous in a way net profitable to their constituents or the country. They are the sort to get up bad blood and cause mischief. ~a- = — ja9"The trial of Dr. Talmage, at Brook- lyn, N.

The great efficiency of this Arrester is ean universal attention, and is being en- dorsed by the best mechanical engineers and insu- rance companies, Its prominent features are :— It does not destroy the draft. It does not interfere with cleaning the tubes, Tt will not choke up, and requires no cleaning. It requires no direct dampers to be opened when raising steam (dampers being objectionable, as they may be left open and allow sparks to escape.) It requires no water to extinguish s arks, which, by condensation, destroys the draft. esides, when water is used, if neglected, the efficiency 1s destroy- ed by evaporation of the water, and the boiler is kept ina flithy condition. It is simple and durable and can be relied upon. It can be attached to any boiler. No planter should be without one of them.

Mr. Eprror: having so often been con- sulted, privately, on the subject. of. fish culture, and about the best methods of constructing ponds, I have concluded to give, through your columns, my expe- rience On the subject. The first thing to be done, is to sclecta proper site or location for the pond. In this regard, I will say, that ro long, strong-running branch is suitable, for the reason, that in case of freshets, they are too apt to overflow and carry away the dam, which would result in’ the entire loss of the stock of fish. The most snita- ble situation is a cove or basin where the stream is supplied by one or more springs, with no other stream running into it. Having selected a site for the dam, say one hundred or more yards below the spring, according to cireumstauces, the next thing to be done is to eut side ditches entirely around the intended pond, some- what in the form of a horse-shoe, with the toe at the upper end, around the spring or head of the stream, bringing the ditches together below the intended dam. A failure to attend to this precau- tion will surely result in the breaking of the dam at the first freshet. I lost ¢wo dams and two stocks of tish by building my dams first, intending to cut the side, ditches afterwards, but did not get them cut until there was a freshet, which re- sulted as above stated. The side ditches being complete, and before the foundation of the dam is commenced, the ground where it is to stand must be dug out to a Trott, Treasu rer, F. 8. % depth that will reach entirely below the Quintette Club isthe finest PROHIBITION | latter part of May. cal Option Law of North Carolina, p-ib- cided here on the Ist Thursday in June Soil; that is to say. ‘Ou mist Cut a Vitel three or four fone wis " ide, the entire of the intended dam.

The next step is to cart into the ditch pure clay which should be put in gradual- ly, and worked into a puddle, or tough mortar, until the ditch is full, from one end to the other. This mortar, when it dries, will become almost as hard as a brick, thereby preventing the possibility of leaking. : In the erection of the dam, it is most important that it be constructed of the very best material, so as to ‘make it se- cure.

The dam shonld be*fonr or five feet wide at the top when finished, and should be very wide at the bottom, slop- ing up on either side, like the roof of a house.

Cat-fish will do te raise, but eels are very destructive on the spawn of other fishes, In catching fish for stocking purposes, it may be done by hook and line, or with a gill net, or drag sein, which latter is preterable. During the catching, they should be kept in a large cotton basket, with « top, aud sank under water matil you are ready to remove them to your pond. They should then be removed in a barrel, or other large vessel, which should be frequently replenished with fresh water during transportation. Fish raising is uot only protitable, but it affords the means of much pleasant amusement. It is cheaper to raise them than poultry. They destroy no grain, Whilst poaltry do, and are besidesa source of never ending annoyance and expense. A well stocked fish pond is a permanent fixture and lifetime affair, and when you have your pond built and stocked, that is an end of the expense, for they will eon- tinue to multiply without further atten- tion from you, except to keep catching them out; otherwise, your pond will soon become so overstocked that there will not be room and food for them. Be- sides, as an articic of food, they are cer- tainly much more palatable and whole- some than poultry. Then again, if you will build an ice house, you can readily fill it from your pond.

Mr. Evitor: By reference to the Lo- lished in a late number of the Watchman, ' it will be seen that the question to be de- is a very simple one, notwithstanding all the rabbish that has been piled upon and | around it. Itis this: Shall liquor be sold in the township by authority of law not? This is the legal statement of whole question. this: Shall nine or ten liquor sellers, en-| gaged in poisoning society, contrel the > or the Its moral statement is | length be ent th th al? soil, and down into the solid Meh tee having been done, take sharpen one end : g the tops of the n boring holes through the or quantity of water is of aid on both sides of ) ence as well as the ol |stated; and that the land * | point out “The Only Route to Sobriety,” the will and subsidize the’ suffrages - nine or ten hundred free voters. other werda, shall nine men be depri efits of their rights as free gratify the enpidit of engaged ina trafile thatis selves and their feliow ding as these free voters the polls so will it be shame. That is the qu is of it. Let us see h gued during the pre. Watehman and From my tanght that « question ;” a ews. there are two sides to every nd I have believed it implic- itly until within the last nine weeks. Now my faith in that old adage is sadly shak- en ; for it seems that there is at least one question that is altogether one-sided, viz: The Liqnor Traffic. It does seem th it is worthy of the sanction of ' law the support of a free people could and ought to be said in its favor. For these weeks some have been engaged in demonstrating in various ways the evils arising to suciety from this traftie. In view of this faet, and also that there is a law providing for its suppression, snbject te the will of the people, the traffic is in imineut danger. This is fully realized by its friends as is seen in the faet that for the last nine weeks some half dozen writers have persistently tried to hide it among the rubbish of oth- er social evils, and to surround it with a chevaux de frise of objections to prohibi- tion. They have written much. They have written well, so far as giving perspi- culty to their ideas is concerned. They have shown evidence of culture. They are evidently familiar to some extent with the vast field of research. They have shown themselves competent to argue in defence of anything bad that can be defen- ded. If their object was not to defend the liquor traffic it would be hard to tell what it was. They have written abont many things, have endorsed and defended some, and condemned and abused others. They have also written about the liquor traffic ; but, in its relation to their method of handling things, it stands solitary and alone. ‘That one thing they have neither coudemned nor defended during the whole of this discussion, beginning with “Prog- ress,” nine weeks ago, aud ranning thro’ to “Stranger” in last week's Watchman. In all their correspondence not the slight- est attempt has been made to defend it. 1 challenge them, or anybody else, to show trom the whole mass of their writ- ings a single word, line, or argument in fuvor of the Making or selling of whiskey, Save one feeble intimation dropped by Progress (and which he did not claim as a detence), that the trattic pays some taxes. Now, gentlenen, if you can say anything (in defence of the traitic | beg you to say it, }or I shall be under the necessity of beliey- ing that there are not “two sides to every | question,” and we shall claim the victory. Your boasted logic has consisted almost entirely in the plausible and subtle fallacy of objections raised against prohibition. A distinguished logieian says: (Coppee, p. 155-6) “It has been remarked that Ieno- rance may state iu a few words objec- j tions against science, which Wise men could not refute in whole volumes. The truth of this is manifest. ‘The error of rea- soning from the statement or existence of , tothe falsity of science, | these objections | is one of the torms of irrelevant conclu- sion Which has beeu ealled the Sallacy of | objections. It consists in asserting that since there are objections to a science, that science is false; whereas, the judg- ment demands that the claims of. the 8¢i- jections be duly turuing of the seale decide whether truth or error predomi- nate. If it bea complicated system it Will be found to contain portions of both ; ifan abstract theory it will stand or fall by such atest.” All Lask is—let the public bring this discussion to the above test, let the turning of the scale decide.” If the objections don’t kick the beam, then the dictum of Aristotle aud the inductions of Baconian common sense must be light- er than the cyenet? , and t’s down. Besides simply raising objections, they land. Ido not know whether they were genuine or not, for they can have no possible connection with the issue beforesus. Who dares to BAY that there is no more cause, or occasion, for probibition than there was for the Blue Laws? Who dares to say that the the liquor traftic is as commendable as was the gospel preached by the persecut- ed Roger Williams? Who dares to say that liquor sellers are as harmless as the so-called witches of New Eugland?) Who dares to say that that which the law for- bids to be sold to all minors, aud to every body on election days, and in the Vicinity of hundreds of churches, schouls and facto- ries, and fer the excessive guzzler of which the State provides that a guardian shall be appointed, aud whieh is felt ev- ery where to be a nuisance, is as innocent as the custom of mothers kissing their babies on Sunday? This is the point in the comparison ; let them make it good if they can. Since they are so fond of roll- ing this comparison as asweet morse) un- der their tongues, | will modify its sweet- ness by another: { dare to say that the system of granting license to sell whiskey jin this Protestant country, in this the nineteenth century, is worse than the | erauting of the infamous Letters of Indul- igence in the sixteenth century by Pope | Leo, X. I dare to say that license has done more to debase and lower the digni- ty and honor of the State. has poured jJuore corruption into the bosem of the Chureh, has done more to pollute and poi- sou society, has been productiive of more social and domestic retteness and shame, and has opened wider the flood- gates of ievery crime than did those Letters of In- ,and Ido not care, dulgence which stirred the indignation of Luther and fired all) Europe, and | troused Christendom from its long aud deadly sleep. I dare to say that license | to sell whiskey is as far from the spirit of i Christ as were the Letters of Indulgence. i dare to say that the granting of license aud the granting of Letters of Indulgence were prompted by the same motive, i. ey desire for money ; and that. the. effeet of both was, and is, the erection of an ever- lasting memorial of shame on the wreck of morality and religion. A liquor seller’s license is a bona fide letter of indulgence. I thank God that the Legislatare of our State has gone as far as it can at present to wash its hands of this foul stain. I trust I shall see the day when every ves- tige of it shall be gone. In regard to Mr. Neave, the neutral champion in this controversy, I have ouly this to say: ‘Nhat he has pianted himseif on the ‘broad road” as a tinger board to and for the last three weeks the pnblic have been carnestly looking in the direc- tion indicated by his index finger, and it has revealed to them only a vast, shadowy and tangle maze of interminable wilder- ness, Where there is no “route” visible, practicable or possible to this generation.

May 9, 1879. Mr. Editor: The prospect for a wheat crop in this region is very good thus far— a good regular stand, an even growth, with stalks rather low and not ivelined to run up high, we think are all favorable signs of a good yield if nothing occurs to prevent it. We have very little smut in wheat since the plan of soaking seed wheat in a strong solution of blue-stone has been adopted. Fall sown oats have nota good stand, being frozen out somewhat. Sprip oats, of which a large crop is sown, stan well, but are not as forward as usual on account of the dry spring. Corn, of which very little was planted early this spring, comes up well and starts off well. Of cot- ton, very little more is planted than will be wanted to exchange for the yarn and sheeting needed for the family. But all that is raised tinds a ready market at the Taylorsville Cotton Mills, near ‘Taylors- Ville, owned and run by the Alspangh Bros, Whose yarn and sheeting make a large item iu the trade in this region of coun- try. Many farmers are cultivating to- bacco, instead of cotton, as a more certain crop, aud with a good degree of success. Fruit prospect:—A pples are plentiful.— Peaches, only a partial croy: —trees full in some localities, aud all killed in others. Nothing like a crop of cherries, plums, &c. A cousiderable degree of attention is paid to caltivating and improving fruits in this region of country, and a better quality and a larger yield is the result, especially is this true of apples. No tiner and better apples are produced in any section of country than this Piedmont or Brushy Mountain section ; While the cer- tainty of a crop is as good as anywhere. The trui¢ trade is becoming a large and increasing item every year. A peculiar feature, the philosophy of which I will hot try to explain, attaches to this monn- tain region: In winter when we have cold rains the mountain knobs, or the timber on.them, is covered with ice, while the timber in the flat woods or valleys below has none. This would seem to indicate a greater degree of cold up there. But of- ten in the spring after vegetation starts out, a late frost kills all the vegetation, be- low, but the high knobs, covered with ice in the winter, are not affected by the frost, but are from acertain level green and flourishing while all below is dead. And often fruit trees on these knobs are full of fruit when there is none below. I know of the fact but cannot explain it.

France has suffered less than ¥ from the events of 1870 and 1871, but still she must have suffered ; and her losses, like #0 many other com- munities, must count for something in producing the general depression of the world. M. Maurice Block seems, how- ever, todoubt whether continued war has u so directly disastrous as ill-advised speculation. He points to the extrava- gantly large number of railway projects which were sanctioned, aud to some ex- tent carried out, in Austria, Hungary aud Germany in the years preceding 1872, The same lavishuess of construction, we need not say, was indulged in, in this country, but the delusion which led to it was found out and exposed rather ear- lier, Now, these railways, large num- bers, yield ne profit, large numbers were not wanted, aud therefore ministers bit slightly to the augmentation of national wealth. The economical evils traceable to them do not, however, the less remain. A great part of the capital of Europe and America is withdrawn fora time from the general stuck aud is locked up in un- productive and very partially useful in- vestments. Meantime, the ulnatural stimulus given to industry by all this speculation still leaves its bad effects be- hind it. The crowds of laborers brought together by the maunfacture of railway material are unable to transfer their labor elsewhere, but the railway material ceases to be made because it can no long- er be sold. The nearly universal distress has there- fore been the accumulated result of all these misfortunes and follies, of which some made themselves felt at once and sone after an interval of time. obscurer causes have also contr the disorder of commerce, that menacing depreciati face of which E on of silver in vglish and Tudian states- manship seem to be so discreditably helpless. It chiefly shows itself to us in the difficulties of Indian finance, but in point of fact it is disorganizing the entire mechanism of exchange in those poorer countries of Europe and Asia which are now just as essential as richer communi- ties to the world-wide system of purchas- ing food and selling articles of luxury and use. We have no space at present to fol- low M. Block in his opinions on the pro- bable duration of the economical troubles or on the best wa them. One expedient is, condemned, by a mod comprehension of the tion of the world as we have attempted to explain it. Protective tariffs can only diminish the external buying and selling power of each community. They are, in fact, an attempt to give the part of the population assembled in towns the ex- clusive command of the market supplied by the part of the population directly en- gaged in agricultural industry ; but, as the agricultural interest must be protec- ted also, they are in fact a contrivance for starving those town popu' ations which Aare the most characteristic feature of the social order of our day. ————~>e—___ A Sketch. however, at once erately accurate ecovomical condi- The Discovery and Iistory of the Reed Gold Mine—The first Discovered in the United States. The following sketch, from the pen of George Barnhardt, is recorded in “Wheel- ers History of North Carolina ;” but we dare say there are but few, even of our own people, who are acquainted with the facts contained therein. “The first piece of gold found at this mine, wasin the year 1799, by Conrad Reed, a boy of about twelve years old, a son of Julin Reed, the proprietor. The discovery was made in an accidental man- ver. The boy above named, in company with asiater and younger brother, went of a narrow gauge road tu connect us with some railroad near us.

Lonxpon, ENGTAND, May 10th, 1879,— The suggestion, therefore, is that the hard times are owing to an acenmulation of disasters and mistakes occurring with- in comparatively narrow limits of time over most parts of the earth inhabited by man. Most of ns have, at least, a dim Consciorsness that the recent Indian famines in Bengal and Madras may have had something to do with onr troubles, since we know that the Indian peasantry are ordinarily large customers of the North of England mannfacturers. But the effect of wide-spread prohibition, the and carried it home. Mr. Reed examined it, but as gold was unknown in this part of the equutry at that time, he did not know what kind of metal it was; the Piece was about the size of a small smoothing iron. Mr. Reed carried the piece of metal to Concord, and showed it to William Atkin- son, a silversmith, but he not thinking of gold, was unable to say what kind of metal it was. Mr. Reed kept the piece for several | pee ermense floor, to lay against t oor to keep it from shutting. In the Year 1802, he went to market to Fayette- ville, and carried the piece of metal with him, and on showing it to a jeweller, the jeweller immediately told him it was gold, and requested Mr. Reed to leave the metal with him and said he would flax it. Mr. Reed left it, and returned in a short time, and on his return the jeweller show- ed him.a large bar of gold, six or eight inches long. ‘rhe jeweller then asked Mr. Reed what he would take for the bar. Mr. Reed, not knowing the value of gold, thought he would ask a “big price,” and so he asked three dollars and fifty cents ($3.50!). The jeweller paid him his price. After returning home, Mr. Reed ex- amined and found gold in the surface along fhe creek. He then associated Frederick Kisor, James Love, and Mar- tin Phifer with himself, and iu the year 1303, they found a piece of gold in the branch that weighed twenty-eight pounds. Numerous pieces were found at this mine weighing from sixteen pounds down to the smallest particles. The whole sur- face along the creek for vearly a mile was very rich in gold. The veins of this mine were discover- ed in theiyear 1831. They yielded alarge quantity of gold. The veins are flint or quartz.

As I have made a most successful | experiment in fattening hogs this sca- | son, I feel it my duty, as well as my | pleasure, to yive your readers the | penefit of it. Early in April, I plant-| edan acre in my extra early sweet potatoes, expressly to turn my hogs | on. I also planted two acres in chu- | fas for the same purpose. The chufes { planted in drills two feet apart, | and about a foot apartin the drills; they nearly covered the whole ground. | The sweet potatoes were large enough | to eat on the first of June, but I let | them grow on until the first of Au-| gust, when the ground was litterally full of them, Then I turned on them; After they had run | | some forty hogs. on them some six weeks and began to get full and lazy, I turned them on the chufas. I never saw hogs improve so fast. As I had heard old farmers say hogs must have corn to harden the flesh, I gave them about eight bushels ; this is all the corn the hogs have ever had. On the 28th of No- vember J killed them, and J have the finest meat that I ever tasted. The flesh is firm and has a sweetness that J have never before tasted in pork, as fresh meat, it is more desirable than The same land the tenderest turkey. that I had in these sweet potatoes and chufas would not have brought more than twenty bushels of cory in all. Ihave long contended that we could not afford to raise corn on our|punced through it—he gave a snort poor old sandy lands to feed stock, and when I can make such meat on sweet potatoes and chufas, I would not feed on corn if J could make one hundred bushels to the acre.—Cuas. A. PEeanopy in Farm Journal. Fruit Trees. J find that lime, wood ashes and old jron, put ground the roots of declining fruit trees, have a very beneficial ef- fect. These fertilizers restore the trees to a healthy condition, and also great- ly improve the fruit in quality and quantity. I made the application ear- Jy last spring as an experiment on a Winesap and Never Fail; about half a bushel of mixed lime and ashes to each, and dug it in with a hoe some six fect around the trunk, and put the old iron immediately around the base of each, The trees put forth with prewed yigor, bloomed abundantly, and yield- eda good crop of fruit, An excel- Jent wash for trees may be made thus: Heat an ounce of salsoda to redness in an iron pot, and dissolve it in one gallon of water, and while warm ap- ply it to the trank. After one appli- eation the moss and old bark will drop offand the trunk will be quite smooth, This wash has highly recu- perative properties, making old trees ear anew. I have triqgd soft soap as a wash with good results, and also a coating of lime in the spring season, which is a fine specific for old trees. The ques- tion is often asked if it is best to ma- nure trees in the fall or spring? I have found the summer season to bea good time ; have great faith in mulch- ing, especially young trees, for sever- al seasons after they are planted. Ap- ple trees are said to have two growths during thg geason—the secondary growth takes plage after midsummer, hence it is that a top-dressing of good manure, and also coarse litter, facili- tates the late growth, and often pro- duces ney marked results in the habit , mre comme Rta and furmation of the tree. The good effect that mulching has to young trees is that it wards off the intense heat of the sun from the ten- der roots, and 2lso has a tendency to hold moistures A good top dressing of stable manure in thé fall around young trees with a good many corn cobs cast over the surface of the soil gives satisfactory results. —W.

Gare should be taken not to have too hota fire, lest you scorch the corn wheu crystallizing. Nuts of any kind pre- pared in this way are delicious. —»-@- Old Blummer’s Buttons. Old Blummer is tight-fisted. Sev- eral days ago he said to his wife, ‘““Ma- ria, 1 want you to look over that broadcloth vest of mine and put new buttons on it, ’cause I’m going to a card-party to-night.” “But, Ely,” answered Mrs. B., “I havn’t any buttons to match that vest, and—” : “Thunder !” “the idea of a woman keeping house as long as you have, an’ pretendin’ to be out of buttons. By George! I be- lieve you’ll ask me for money to buy broke in Blummer, ’em with next.” That evening old Blammer hurried through his supper and began array- ing himself fur the card-party. Pres- ently he called for the broadcloth vest, and Mrs. B., with marvelous prompt- itude, handed it to him. He took it, hastily unfolded it, and then, as his eyes took in its complete appearance, he stood as one transfixed. It was a six-button vest, and there were six} buttons on it, and the dazed optics of Blummer observed that the first, or top one, was a tiny pearl shirt-button, and that the next one was a brass ar- my-overcoat button, with U.S. gleam- ing upon it, and that number three was an oxydized silver affair, and that number four was a horn button, evi- dently from the back of the Puritan fathers’ coats; and then came a sus- pener button, and then, as the dazzled eyes of old Blummer reached the bot- tom button—a poker chip, found in Blummer’s pocket, with two holes | that made the chandelier jingle. | There is, after all, a fine sense of hu- mor about Blummer, and he laughed till he cried. And there won’t be any button money grudged in that household hereafter, —- A Robeson county negro died of eating too many half-cooked peas. y ongrme™ ORGA are Ccimost beantiful coud portect th ermniude.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. JAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres- sure; sometimes the pain ts in the left side: the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. ‘The stomach is affected with loss of appe- tite and sickness; the bowels in gen- eral are costive, somctimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. ‘There is generally a considerable loss of mem- ory, accompanied with a painful sen- sation of having Icft undone’ some- thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. ‘Vhe patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his fect are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa- tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer- cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can searcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet exfmination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged.

The Congress of the United States de- clares that elections must be free; that the right of the citizen to exercise that franchise shall not be curtailed or even threatened by the menacing presence of Federal troops. The Fraudulent Presi- deut of the United States, backed by the meu who combined to give hima dis- graceful tenure of the high office he holds, declares that whenever in his judgment it is necessary to employ the army and navy of the United States he will so em- ploy them. He may quibble about the constitutional duty of the Executive to enforce the laws at all times, about un- constitutional attempts to limit the pow- er of the Executive; but, nevertheless, the issue remains as Congress has presen- ted it, that the presence of the troops at the polls is not only contrary to the spirit of our institutions, but dangerous to the liberty of the people. ——__ +o __-——_— "Not the first Adventist “Sacrifice.” In 1249, just’ after the excitement caus - ed in the whole country. by the predic- tions of the end of the world and the “second coming” by Elder Miller, a sect nominated the man of bayonets when he | of these Adventists held meetings propriate ceremonies. monument, a hush fell in a retired part of the city of Hartford, and here one of their preachers announced that he had, through divine revelation, received 2 command to sacrifice his wife, who would be restored to life on the third day.

The column embraced twenty-five companies of cavalry, artillery aud fantry, with several bands of music. Under command of ex-Gov. M. L.

At an appropriate point in the oration, the four young girls, dressed in white, who were to perform the act of unveiling the monument, were handed from the stand to the base of the monu- ment by four one-armed Confederate soldiers. Four ropes were suspended from the statue, and one of these was placed in the hands of each of the girls, and, by means of them, they drew away the veil.

Stalwart Zach Chandler's Drunken Tchi- bition of Himself---History Le- peating Tiself. Washington Post, 10th. “Mizzer Pres’dent,” shouted Senator Zach Chandler in the Senate chamber yesterday as he took the floor—and it was about all he could do to take it, too. His legs trembled under him, aud his body shook like a reed in a strong wind. His nose was red and his face was pale. “Bad ventilation has made him sick,” sugges- ted a Radical Senator. Old Zach steadied himself by his desk and again shouted: “Mizzer Pres’dent, history’s repeatin’ itself. When I first took my seat in this body twenty-two years ago, with Jeffer- son Davis—” A shout of laughter greet- ed this, and one senator remarked: “I knew he couldn't make a speech without the aid of Jeff Davis.” “In 1857,’ co1.tin- ued Zach, “when I took my seat here with Jef’s’n Davis, there were forty-four Democrats.” He went on to give the number of Republican Senators then, and said. there were two Independents who, as now, always rallied to the support of the Democracy when a question of slavery was raised. The Bourbons (and he smack - ed his lips at the word) had control of the Senate then as they have now. Then, as now, caucus dictation ruled. There were sixteen Democrata, from the northern States then, and le named the States they represented. The southern Demo- crats, he said, bulldozed these sixteen and made them vote their pro-slavery meas- ures, Stephen A. Douglas wit edad from the chairmanship of the Committee on ‘Territories because he woald not do the Bourbons’ bidding. “You érowded your men off the bridge,” shouted Zach, in his loudest key, to the Democratic side; and in attempting to make a ges- ture befitting the speech, he surged over against the desk and very nearly eame to grief. Straightening himself up by de- grees, he shouted in a still icanar tone, but with a more. careful gesture: “You crowded your men off the bridge; yes, sir, you crowded ’em off,” and whacked the desk with his left hand while he held himself up with the right. ‘You crowd- ed ’em off the bridge, and they fell into the water of oblivion (hic) and sank to rise no more forever (hic). Yes, sir, they went down in the waters of oblivion,” and apparently not feeling at home ina watery element, Zach dropped the sub- ject and took up the Kellogg case. He said : Every man on this side of the cham ber believes that twelve senators on your side hold their seats by a poorer title than my howble friend from Louisana. By fraud and vivlenee you oceupy your seats.” “< Senator Eaton jumped to his feet and ealled) Chandler to order. He had no right to say that any senator held his seat by frand. Chandler looked dazed, but denied having said it. “Wat T said was that I believed so, and I say sv now; [ say I believe that and that’s so: [ do.” Senator Garland—“T demand that his words be taken down.” Mr. Eaton—“‘I also want the language taken down; [am confident the senator asserted that senators held their seats by frand.” : The excitement was intense on both sides of the chamber. Democrats were insisting that Chandler had made the charge, and Republicans were trying to explain itaway. Senator Houston jump- ed up and requested Mr. Eaton to with- draw his point of order. “Let bim goon,” said Mr. Houston, refering to Chaudler, ‘nobody would believe a word he says.” The words were read from the reporters notes, and if was found that Chandler had said what Mr. Eaton had charged. It was a critical point, bat Mr. Thurman, by a display of excellent judgment and tact, got over it without any difficulty. Mr. Chandler was permitted to proceed, and, stretching out his hand toward the Democrats, he said: ‘You rebels said You were poor and naked, and we fed you were poor when the war ended and clothed you. [Jeering laughter. ] Yes, we did; we fed and clothed you; [ say so”—with another bang on the desk from which he only recovered by a pro- longed effort. “We clothed you with the rights of citizenship, and invited you to a feast. We killed the fatted calf for you and when you came to the feast you said what? that the calf always belonged to us? Yes, you did. But you goon: you go on. You've got your day ju court now, but your time is short. ‘The people are aroused —aroused, [ say—(another ges- ture and a sprawl on the desk). Yes, sir; the people are aroused, from the Atlantic to the Pacitice; the loyal people of the North are aroused, even worse than they were in 1860, and mene, mene, tekel uphar- sin is written all over Bourbon brows.” Here the overpowered Chandler drop- ped into-his seat with a thump, shaking his head treateningly atthe other side for some seconds. A few moments later he was invigorated by a sup of cold tea, and was congratulated by his friends upon having once more subjugated Jef, Davis and saved the country. : Sena ANOTHER OUTRAGE ON INDIANS.— Another outrage upon the Indians is re- ported, Some Apaches were assigned years ago toa reservation at Fort Tule- rosa, in New Mexico. [t was large and well ratered, abounded in game, aud the In- lice were very well satistied with if. But some speculators coveted the track, and had the Indians removed to another reservation, the red man submitting quietly, though very much dissatisfied. Hardly had they got settled here however before the speculators discovered unsus- pected minerat wealth in the tract. Soon they had secured an order for the removal of the tribe to a third reservation. ‘This was more than the Indians would bear, and they are now at large in the moun- tains, declaring that they will die rather than be knocked around in this way any longer. It is little wonder that the aver- age savage should preter his native bar- barism to civilization when this is what civilization means to him. SS Proseeutoins in the Federal Courts.

Loutsville Courter Journal, Tuesday, The General Assembly of the South- ern Presbyterian Church will meet in this city Thursday. The large body of distinguished ministers and elders will represent a church in the strict- est sense of the word, Calvinistic in doctrine, and probably the most thoroughly Calvinistic church in the United States. The Southern Presby- terian Church, in fact, exists as much because of an intense conservatism as regards distinctive doctrine as be- cause ofthe Erastianism which in 1861 gave the Southern Presbyterians notice that union with their brethren of the North was only thenceforth practicable or possible by hearty sub- scription to the doctrine of loyalty and by servile subjectivity to the pro- nunciamentos of the civil govern- ment regulatiug the consciences of men. The literal Calvinistic theology, which is generally conceded to be ex- tremely severe and inexorable with reference to the relations men sustain to the Diety, is retained and taught by comparatively few of the churches which adhere to the Presbyterian polity. There are strict and moder- ate Calvinists, between whom there is the widest difference of views on the subject of the extent of the atone- ment of Jesus Christ and other nice theological points, and these differen- ces existed from the planting of the first churches in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia to the gathering of all the scattered presbyteries and synods through their representatives at the first general as- sembly at Philadelphia 1789. Within this new fold were taken many Congregational churches, which disseminated the pectiliar views of the Independents of England, which in were not closely allied to Calvinism. The antagonistic views of thechurches brought about the rancorous disputes which finally culminated in the split of the Church in 1837, the differences being on the subject of both church doctrine and _ polity. The old and the new school Pres- byterians were separated by the widest differences on the most importaut doc- trines of the Church, ‘the old school Church retaining the largest number of communicants and churches, and ‘being very strong in the Southern States. The war came, and the North- ern old school Presbyterians entered the political arena and issued a pro- nunciamento to their Southern breth- ren to fall into line. The invitation was rejected, and in 1861 the minis- ters and ruling elders of the presby- teries in the then Confederate States organized at Augusta, Ga., the “Gen- eral Assembly of the Presbyterian Chureh in the Confederate States of America,” with a constituency of 811 ministers and licentiates, and 72,677 communicants. Of the assembly the distinguished Rey. B. M. Palmer, of New Orleans, was moderator. Sinee then the General Assembly has met annually as follows: In 1862, at Montgomery, Ala., Dr. J. L. Kirk- patrick, moderator ; in 1863, at Col- umbia, 8. C., Dr. J. A. Lyon, modera- tor; in 1864, at Charlotte, N.C., Dr. J. S> Wilson, moderator; in 1865, at Macon, Ga., Dr. Geo. Howe, modera- tor; in 1866, at Memphis, Dr. A. H. Kerr, moderator ; in [1867, at Nash- ville, Dr. J. V. Moore, moderator ; in 1868, at Baltimore, Dr. J. N. Wad- dell, moderator ; in 1869, at Mobile, Dr. Stuart Robinson, moderator ; in in 1870, at Louisville, Dr. R. L. Dadney, moderator; in 1871, at Huntsviile, Ala., Dr. W. S. Plumer, moderator; in 1872, at Richmond, Dr. T. R. Welch, moderator ; in 1873, at Little Rock, Dr. H. M. Smith, moderator; in 1874, at Columbus, Ga., Dr. J. L. Girardeau, moderator; in 1875, at St. Louis, Dr. M. D. Hoge, moderator ; in 1876, at Savan- nah, Dr. B. M. Smith, moderator ; in 1877, at New Orleans, Dr. C. A. Stillman, modertor ; 1878, at Knoxville, Tesaessee, Dr. T. E. Peck, moderator. Since the organization of the Gen- eral Assembly in 1861, the Southein Presbyterian Church has greatly in- creased in influence and member- ship, although it had to encounter the unfavorable conditions engendered by in several years of war and the distract- ing period of wrong and tryanny growing out of the carpet-bag regime. They are now 12 synods, 64 presby- teries, 1,117 ministers and licentiates, 145 candidates for the ministry, 1,878 churches, 5,428 elders, 3,452 deacons, 114,578 communicants and 68,121 Sunday school children, showing an increase of churches and membership of over fifty per cent. The contribu- tions to all objects reported last year were $1,030,971. The Church has two fine theological seminaries, one in Virginia and the other in South Carolina, and a school for preparing colored men to preach the gospel, at Tuskaloosa, Ala. Many of the most remarkable and distinguished clergymen of the Uni- ted States have been connected with the Presbyterian Church in the South- ern States, and to-day the roll call of | the General Assembly which meets in Loujsville Thursday will reveal a fine array of distinguished names— men who not only think in the deep grooves of the Calvinistics system, but who can make such tough topics as “grace and free will,” predestina- tion and electfon, the eternal decrees, &c., attractive by their grace and eloquence of presentation. ‘The Gen- eva theology compels deep thinking on the part of its votaries. It isa “hard and cruel system” according to some people, but probably they have not wrestled sufficiently with its mer- its. It should be remembered, too, that the author of that system suffer- ed excruciating agony, continually, from eight different diseases which had captured his body. ‘The old Ger- mans, in fact, used to say, uncharita- bly, that they would “rather go to hell with Beza than to heaven witlt Calvin,” because the Jatter’s temper was so bad. His system, however, isa marvel, ofthe fact that it has left its impress, with more or less dis- tinetness, on the symbols of so many churches proves its monumental na- ture. Although every year there is more or less talk of the re-union of the Northern and Southern Presbyterians it is not likely that such a consumma- tion will be witnessed for some time. About ten years ago the former co- religionists of the Southern Presby- terians in the North, in a fit of politi- cal enthusiasm, joined hands with the new school body, whose doctrines they had formally condemned thirty years before. The Southern Presby- terian Church, remains doctrinally where its ministers and elders stood in 1838, while their brethren have undergone a seemingly radical doctrinal change. <> The Exodus idea put Differently. therefore, “The Democrats count reliantly,” says a Ttepublican newspapaer, “on the 188 electoral votes of the solid South next year. If the colored exo- dus could be turned in the direction of Florida to the extent ofa few thou- sand voters this calculation would be sadly interferred with.” Yes, this would bea nice use for the Republican party to make of the colored Drive him around from State to State and from district to district, and make him vote where- ever his vote is needed. When the migratory army had carried an_elec- tioh in one State for the Republican party, march it into another and vote it there, and so on ad infinitem. Call it the “ballance of power” and move it around from one place to another until it has subjugated every State and district in the Union, and in the off-years anchor the colony in Kansas or elsewhere and keep it there until election time comes again: then start it on the rounds once more and keep man: if going. This idea is a little more beasty than that of inveighling the negroes from their comfortable homes in the South to far-off Kansas, for a political purpose, and yet it is only an elabora- tion of the Kansas ideaand in morals is not more disreputable. The object of the first is to change the census and thus deprive the South of a part ofits representaton in Congress, dwing this at the expense of the negro and. thus re-establishing Republican supremacy; the second is only cruel to the negru ; it is nd whit worse looked at from the standpoint of morality and fair deal- ing.—Charlotte Observer.

A writer in the Raleigh Observer of the 17th, dating from Thomasville, 8, C., speaks of the Ethan Allen mine in that vicinity as follows : “The length of their vein is two miles run- ning northeast and southwest, pitching one foot in six in a westerly direction. The main engine shaft ix six by ten feet clear of timbers. The shaft was synk last August on the pitch of the vein following it from the surface as ubove described ; have driven 40 feet north on the vein which at the depth of 90 feet is 20 feet in width and how moch larger it may be J cannot, at present say.

At this depth the character of the walls will be gran- ite, (when reached) judging by the apper wall, towards the hanging wall side there ira slats of brown decomposed ore of four feet thickness worth about $150 per ton; and there is ad- joining this a vein of quariz 9 feet in width, and as hag been tested, worth $100 per ton.

He confessed his guilt of the crime for which he was convicted and owned that his sentence was just. The Gazette gives a pretty full account of the execution and con- cludes the recital thus: In conclusion, we cannot refiain from giv- ing our disapproval of the law which allows a public execution, As to the example, it is accomplished by the punishment for the crime where the law is carried out in private; and such exhibitions as the one the other day are in the highest degree demoralizing—and we almost feel like apologizing for doing what the journalism of to-day demands; giving detuils of the hanging of this wretched male- factor. 4 cE Hon. Rost. B. Vancr’s speech on the free coinage of silver and its restoration to its standard value, May 7th, is the utterance of a sincere and honest man, anxious to do, and to persuade others to do, their duty to the toiling people of the country. It isa great pity we have not more men like him in Congress to labor and plead for the right. EO Oe The Dry Goods Business of New York, for the last week, is pronounced by the Financial (N. Y¥.)

This indicates a good hearthly stute of the trade, sustained, as it must be, by a normal condition of business in the country. a oa “Ix Tue Mrpst or Lire.”—An old gen- tleman named Burkhimer, went into a store in Wilmington to sell cigars, last week. He complained of feeling badly and took a chair. In a few minutes it was discovered he was unconscious, and was laid ona bed anda passing physician called in. But it was use- less. He was dead. SSS He bought 80 actes of land for $320. Cleared and cultivated 2% acres in tobacco, which brought him the first year, $706, and left in his hands still, 500 Ibs of the unsold crop.

MINER, Itis the purpose of this tract to present the yearly cost, losses, and wastes caused by intoxicating liquors to the material interests of the coun- try. -The figures and fagts» following are copied from officidi documents issued by the United States Treasury. Department, for the fiscal year end- ing June 30, 1871, and from Docu- ments published by the New York Legislature, for the year ending Sep- tember 30, 1871. That these qudta- tions are quite within the truth there can be no reasonable doubt and ag to the substantial correctness of our iufer- ences and estimates, we mean there shall be no ground for distrust : The Treasury booka show that there was imported, daring the fiscal year 1871, of liquors, wines. and.cordials, - - Galls., 13,581.302 Of this there were exported and consumed abroad, - - ~ Leaving for yearly home cor- sumption, - - - - — Gall., 13,292,568 The retail cost of this, at 10 cents per glass, or $6 per gallon would amount tv - - - - Domestic liqnors were distill- ed, during same period, to the amount of - - Galls., 62,300,000 Exported and consumed abroad, - - - - - - $79,755,408 “ 780,153 Leaving for home consumption, Gallons, 61,51,9848 Retail cost of this,at $6 per gallon, $369,119,082 Of fermented liquors (one-third of which was brewed in New York), there were, - - + Dbls., 7,000,000 Retail cost, at 10 cents a pint, or $24 a barrel, would amountto $168,000,00 Revenue officers believe that 10 per cent., of all liquors, imported and home-made (in some sections of the country a larger percentage), are smuggled or concealed so as to escape taxation. ‘To give the whole amount of national dram-drinking, this should be added to the enormous aggregates above; but we set off the unknown quantity against what may, perhaps, be used in arts and as medicines. The direct yearly cost, therefore, to the people of this country, for intoxi- cating beverages, may be stated thus: For Imported Liqnors, - - $79,695,408 “ Domestic Distilled, —- — 369,119,082 *“ Fermented, - - - —- 168,000,000 $616,814,490 The State of New York, with one- ninth the population of the Republic, propably consumes a seventh part of this ocean of fiery drink ; thus bear- ing an annual liquor tax of etghty millions of dollare. And this isnot all. There are in the States 146,000 licensed retailers (21,300 being in New York), 21,500 wholesale dealers, and no doubt many more beer saloons (82,500) than suffi- cient to swell the whole number of national dram-shops to 250,000. Sup- posing each of these establishments to require one assistant or clerk only, we have an army of 500,000 able-bodied persons withdrawn from productive or useful industries, and becoming at once the tempters and tempted to idle- ness, dissipation, profanity and gaming. If the annual subsistence of this great army were assumed to cost $500 each, or if their probable earnings were estimated at so small asum, then the country loses of its industrial forces and products, thtough liquor traffic, atleast $250,000,000. - Destruction of grain, fruit, molas- ses, ect., made into alcohol, with costs of manufacture, may be set down, at the least, as $50,000,000. Careful statisticians have shown ample reasons for the belief that there are nearly a million of drunkards— the habitually intemperate—in this country. Estimating, now, the num- ber at 750,000, their wages at $2 per day, that they waste but half their time by hard drinking, and the coun- try hereby sustains gn additional loss of $225,000,000. In the fifty-six County Poor Houses of New York, the six City Almshouses, the hundred and three Orphan Asylums, and the seven In- stitutions for Juvenile Delinquents, there were last year 86,204 paupers, helpless children, and vagrants; and in addition 101,769 were temporarily relieved by the public. The large numbers of needy and_ outcasts re- ligved by private aud Christian char- ities in the State are not here taken into account; but no doubt three- fourths of the whole became burdens through their own parents’ intemper- ance. The criminal Statistics of New York give the whole number of con- victions by Courts of Records, in the several counties, for the year, as 2,151 ; convictions by Courts of Spe- cial Sessions in the counties 21,351, and convictions by Courts of Special Sessions in the twenty large cities, 90,588 ; making 74,090 criminals of all grades, Three-fourths of. these we assume to have been led into crime by strong drink.* In respect to the above two items, it is fair to observe that New York suffers by comparison with sister States on account of the multitudes of vagabonds and felons continually cast upon her territory from the Old World. Estimating the pauperism and “ 288,734 | - per cent.) of all the State contains. per cent.) of the w we must conclade ‘ 2 int burdens the Republic “with ‘at Teast $00,000 public paupers, costing year- ly $100,000,000. And that an army of 300,000 rio- térg, titievel bugles marderers, are recruited in’ drani-shops, and sent forth..to. prey... people. at an annual cost of unknown millions. As near as can be. ascertained from inquiries made and making by the State Board of Charities, there -are 10,000 insane persons in New York, and not less than 6,000 idiots. High medical authority instructs us that one-third ofall this misery ‘comes from strong drink.¢ How great an army ofdranken maniacs and. em- beciles are to be found in the whole Union, can only be conjectured ; but they must be numbered by tens of thousands. Let the details of our summed up thus: 1. The yearly retail cort of liquage, << = s-25..---4--.--».-$616,8) 4,490 2, Labor wages, or value of time, of dealersand their clerks, ..... 250,000,000 3.

Value of 100,000 American youth (12,000 of them frum New York) corrupted, brutalized made fiends by drink every year, - Known only in Eternity. The material wastes and all-con- suming mischief to the entire country of the liquor traffic and) dram-drink- ing—when expressed ina single ag- gregrate—are absolutely appalling. And all this is without compensating benefits to any permanent interest. The whole cost of State Civil Gov- ernment in New York is seventeen millions of dollars annually; direct liquor tax upon the same people, for the same time, greatly more than eighty millions. United States reven- ues, including the heavy burdens for war debt, are four hundred millions a year; while costs and resulting desolations from intoxieating liquors are immensely more than TWELVE HUNDRED MILLIONS OF DOL- LARS ANNUALLY ! It is plain enough that this tre- mendous drain upon the nation’s in- crease and substance, and the deepen- ing degradation, year by year, of oir jindustrial strength, cannot long continue without fatally undermining prosperity, the public credit, and political freedom. Measurably, the Government is already passing under the control of two hundred thousand liquor dealers and their besotted cus- tomers. Numbers of chief cities have been, and still are held in) what is little better than a state of siege by the rum power. State and city elec- tions—not a few—are conspiracies against the R:public, made p:s:ible by strong drink. Different depart- ments of national and = municipal authority have become foul with dis- honor through intemperate and de- vauched officials. Not unlike the ancient fabled Lao- coon, our country is in the constric- ting coils of the mighty serpent of the still, and we must bruise its head, or it will kill us and our children. Sure- ly, itis time forall men to see that licensing a traffic so disastrous and deadly as dram-selling is monstrous absurdity in legislation. This whole business is sin before Gdd_ and high crime against the State. As well might Excise Boards introduce among their neighbors the Asiatic cholera or license open dens of rattle- suakes among children, Does the reader say, “Nothing ef- fective can be done to remove this great evil”? ‘That isa mistake. It is in the power of the Christian church, or of a moiety even of the sober and moral outside of it, to shield our youth from intemperance, and to dry argument be 50,000,000 ew www ccc ercecceccecccesccce 225,000,000 100,000,000 Unknown. Unknown. up a great share of the overshadowing curse. For this has been done. Two- thirds of the liquor-drinking has been banished from large sections of Maine, Massachusetts, and Vermont; from single counties and towns in New York, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa, ete. Besides, organized reform has gained much practical wisdom through the alternations of triumph and defeat in the recent past. What has been locally or temporarily won to sobrie- ty can now, by the divine blessing upon self-denying, steady effurts, be more widely and permanently achiey- ed. May God help us before it is ton ate, { Scientific men agree that alcohol isa cerebral pvison that; when taken into the stomach it is driven through the blood-vessels chiefly upon the brain and nervous centres, ceusing inflamatory action, impoverished nutri- tion, and abnormal state of mind.

The robust and matchless effrontery of Nimrod” in his so-called “Summing up, C.," Inthe last Watchman, exalts him to iv rank among pettyfogging chicaners and entitles him to the premium chromo for *pecial pleading” and logomachy. His ji- Nesse ig not up to the mark of Machiavelian Iplomacy, to be sure —but as an expert sub- Verter and repudiator of clear cut facts,— 0 gain scope for inverse deductions—he is a 'suecess.” He pays a sorry compliment to his own head, however, when he says tbat those opposed to his mode of pr moting and the like, and lays on our tablea | prosperous one — their ability to defend anything thatis bad, when he knows that there is not'a line {n my articles other than denunciatory of evil. How any man can so stultify himself is in- conceivable! But as be has “gonc in to win,” at all hazards, right or wrong, even to the extent of “stooping to conquer’’—it is not surprising that he should pretend purblind- ness, to enable him to put scales on the eyes of others. His ‘quotation on logic is, in it- self, good; but wholly out of place and pointless, as used by him, except as ablind. One who depends wholly on autocratic as- sertion, should not tickle our risibilities overmuch by such altusions, and would show discretion, at least, by “giving usa rest,” as it were, on logic. Reference to the “Blue Laws” is supererogation. The love of dom- ination and arbitrary dictation exists now, as it always has, unchanged in essenee but modified in demonstration, by the advance- ment of general knowledge and _ liberty. Men of overbearing dispositions now, as in the past, will. under like circumstances, show similar developments. -Nimrod is, hithself, a very fair, though rather impo- tent, illustration of this. After some mock heroics of “daring” any one to say some things that have already been said and prov- ed, and others that no one can or would say, he proceeds with his bluster, in several “I dare to say” lashes of intimidation for the vacillating. Loud, positive, but unproved assertion from men of large mental calibre, fine culture and high position is, not only ineffective, but insulting to thinking and in- dependent minds—what, then, can be said of the unsupported cant aad rant of suéh a mental piginy as Nimrod has proved him- self to be? No one has denied the evil of the liquor tratlic, but rather proved the reverse: we it was much better than none.

It availeth nothing that civilization, liberty of thought and eonscience, derive all their im- petus from this same law @f love,—from thé teachings and cnunciations of the Saviour of the world. What is our boasted civiliza- tion stripped of the gospel of Christ ? What is it worth if force must still take the place of the ennobling and softening influences of the gospel of peace?

Pharisees,.whose religion consisted in a strict observence of rites and ceremonies, ritual law, and of the traditions of the elders, They assumed to be wiser, holier and worthier than other men—than other Jews. Thia sect was de nounced by the Saviour as loud pray'ng hypocrites, busybodies. That this denun- ciation was just, coming from that prophet- ie oe and most illustrious incarnation, divinity’s self, no one who is not an ignor- ant infidel or a% d atheist, will doubt: Yet this ungodly sect has existed and con- tinued to ply its vile avocation of intermed- dling, disturbing and persecuting others, under various heads until this day. For several centuries it was known as Pharisees. It passed under other heads and grew in see it swelled into a great army of Crusa- ders, and the world was crucified anew and deluged with strife, and blood, and plagues, by their wild excesses. Later, they were known as Plantagenets and Tudors, and, as has been remarked by an able writer, “it appears that they had never felt a senti- ment of pity, humanity or love.

To them I refer all who are in danger of be- ing blinded by his “summing up” travesty. As itis time to wind up my “summing terness and asperity infused into this carn- est discussion of a matter of common weal, is attributable to him: he has been the com- mon mischicf brewer.

I do not know, nor care who Nimrod re- ally is. His attitude and utterances make the man I have been “summing up;” and from these I would suggest that, here-after he should discard the Nimrod attire and adopt that of the Weasel as more consonant with his aim, and characteristic of his style of hunting.

Within my recollection ardent spirits were not only sold on election days, but viven away, not from bar-rooms merely, but from barrcls with their heads knocked out, on the corners of the streets, and there was not more real drunkenness then than is to be witressed now on such occasions; and clec- tions were purer and freer than they are in these times. ‘his meddling with private righ:s makes matters worse every time. It has always been so, and always will be while human nature is the same. It is said that for nearly five hundred years there were no divorces in Rome. The people thought the family hearth too sacred for public tribunals. Under this arrangement, Rome swallowed up one nation after another, until they began to adopt Greek law for the government of the family, when her marriage system entircly broke down, and Rome soon ceased to be the mistress of the wo.11.

It is not Christianity that tries to crush out the desires, the habits, and appetites of men, though they be evil in their tendency, by law.

And he said that they burnt such only as did not have sense enough to repeat the Lord’s prayer; that all the worst in that way escaped under a cloak of religiou; and some of them were now living, mean enough to steal the wool off a dead sheep. Well, now, | want to show exactly how the mat- ter stands with me in contrast with others. So that, if] ama witch man, it may be clearly seen, that there are many others of the same sort. I believe in the doctrine of ‘using for,” call it witchery or what you may. AndIcan show it up beyond all reasonable doubt, that this is the belief and prac- uce of this surrounding country. A few weeks ago, On Sunday, according to previ- ous engagement, I went to the Lower Stone church. This ts, I believe, the largest and strongest church of that denomination, and al ecclesiastically on the square. There I had promised to meet the man vé&to had doctored my horse, and to pay~him for it. Hence I went expressly for that purpose. And so it came to pass, after I had paid him and we were sitting to- gether on the steps, one of the Elders of the church came up in great trouble, and said one of his horses, just out there a few yards from the door of the church, waS possessed of some kind of demon yrjevously tormented, and desired him to go an vast it out. So he arose up immediately and went Out with the Elder. Ina few minutes he came back aud Said the borse was perfectly well and eating grass. This was allright and proper, a Pharisee being judge. But, then, here is thé point. My horse was tured exactly in the same way. The man ‘‘us- ing for” lays his hand on the horse’s nose, and rubs it gently to the last spinal joint, three times in suc- |eession. And during each manipulation be repeats just loud enough for the devil to hear: ‘Jerusalem, thou place of skulls, where the Lord Jesus Christ was crucified, ;where His side was pierced, from | which issued water and blood, may this be good for all worms and cholic. Inthe name. &c.” After this | he strikes the horse three times lightly in the flank | with his fist, and unless the sickness is unto death, | the cure is immediate and complete. GREEN ELLER, ———> > aa Statesville Letter. May 15th, 1879. Dear Mr. Editor: After such a long spell of dry weather we are having real refresh- | ing showers to gladden the hearts of all who are interested in che culinary department: \for to tell the truth we have been having |mighty poor living up this way for some | time, and were beginning to have serious | apprehensions that it was going to continue, | but are much revived in spirits now, with a | hope that ere long we can regale our appe- | | tite on something better than ‘pot luck.” Our “little city” is quite lively new. Pie nics in anticipation, excursions planned, | college commencement and concert near at | hand | Last Saturday, the 10th, was observed | here as “Memorial Day.” At the appropri- ate hour the Court-house was crowded to overflowing. Maj. Robbins delivered the }memorial address in an appropriate and ‘happy style. The “Roll of Honor” was I then read, after which the procession was | formed, and marched to the cemetery, head. }ed by the bent. The choir sang very beau- | tifully “Cover them over with flowers ” The decorating committee of young ladies pro- ceeded to deck the graves of the fallen be- toes, literally covering them with flowers, | whilst the band played a solemn dirge. | The exercises were closed by the singing of \the Long Metre Doxology, and the benedic- tion by Rev. W. A. Wood. Glad such days | do not come often; they bring up too many | sad reminiscences of the saddest and gloom- jiest days of our lives. ; | Well, did you know I was mighty “stuck ‘up” with the poor ‘Widder Green’s” la- ; ment in one of your late papers? She ex- | pressed my sentiments exactly, only T have inot arrived at her awful condition—ready Ito “shuffle off this mortal coil,” because of the wonders under the sun and of gossip- | pers in particular. But itis just so; true fas preaching. Everybody knows more habout you than you do yourself, and the way they have of meddling with other people's affairs is a caution. In my opinion it is one of the crying sins of the day, and I have been racking my brain to see if something can't be done to remedy the evil. Suppose we have an indignation meeting and have all mothers, school teac! - ers, editors and busybodies generally to at- tend and “devise ways and means” by which the young and rising generation can be trained to have some higher and nobler aims in life. But I don’t believe it would do a bit of good ; do you ’ Am glad to see the temperance question so largely discussed in your paper; hope it may do great good. Wishing you much success and prosperi- ty, Lam A ConsTaNT READER. 4 Se a Death of Rev. Williamson Wilmington Sun Correspondence. Allow me the epace in the Sun to announce the death of a good man. Rev. Williamson Harris died in Carthage, Mo., April 10, 1879. ; Mr. Harris was born in Montgomery coun- ty N.C., May 25th 1823. He profeased relig- ion in early life. was for a number of years a usvfal member of the N. C. Conference, M. E. Charch South.

Tie editor of the Carthage Bonner says: “Thusit will be seen that here isa life truly illustrated of the trials ofthe man who surrendered every- thing for the noble work of the Methodist ministry: Books have been written of such men, but here is an example that «ill stand re- corded upon the Recording Angel’s book far grander than hundreds of those to whom man’s pen has done honor. His life-waik is over, and he has not lived in vain ; he has done his duty, made good use of the talent Gud gave him and has now “entered into the joys of the Lord.” During Mr. Harris’ residence in this city he has made personal friends of every one with whom he and his excellent family came in contact. Of this we need nut speak for the grief that is expressed by all to-day, on the streets, in husinese houses, in family circles ov- lv too plainly tell in what estimation this good man was held by our people. He leaves a wife and two married daughters— Mrs, Free- man of Colorado, and Mrs. Smith of Fayetie ville, N. C. He was buried with Masonic honors in “Cedar Hill Cemetery,” after his Presiding Elder, Rev. J. B Landreth preach- ed his funeral in the Methodist church. Broth- er-Harris had many friends in North Carolina who will deeply sympathize with his wife and daughters, who are eo sadly bereaved. May we be ready when the Master calls. L. S. BuRKREAD, . .

C. says that the tobacco business in North Carolina is now ina fair condition. The people dwell in peace and a com- mendable degree of industry prevails. Mr. Thaxton says that the tobacco seed, which is the smallest of all sees, ia gown in December. By mid-April plants are produced, and these are transplanted to hills, The crop ma- tures and is gathered from the latter which gives them headaches. Old maids are modest; they think their youth is over and their beauty gone, If, after a while, some autum- nal love them, they take it as a sort of miracle, and hope people will not laugh at them for “marrying so late in life.” Old bachelors believe that all wo- menarcin Jove with them, and that they must carefully guard themselves from traps laid to inveigle them into matri- mony. They also fondly cherish,the belief that, should they eventually be- part of August until the middle of i eiane alta sachermondiles pects October. pale enough to fill hills of by their choice, and that the “other from) six to ten acres. A bed ten feet square whi them to exhibit great taste in women SED, fellows” will laugh if their portion is gathered the ground is fertilized, tobacco being very destructive to na- tural fertility. he fertilizer allows the same ground to be planted with tobacco year after year, The crop gathered is stowed at first, as the man- ufacturers, as a rule, deal with tobac- co that has been in store two years. The leaves are first sorted, and the best qualities kept for tle general mar- ket. The inferior quality is kept for those who want to smoke cheaply.— The leaf is ground by machinery and is then scattered ona large enclosed flat surface. Whilein this condition it is flavored. No poisons or unheal- thy drugs are used in this process, but the flavoring is kept a trade secret.— The factory where the tobacco is ground and flavored has work houses where the freight boxes and the bags are made, and the tobacco firmly pack- ed in the bags by machinery. Then needle-women run a double thread through the tops of the bags and tie the ends with great rapidity, boys and girls afterwatds pasting on the trade marks and revenue stamps in sucn a way as to make the opening of the bag result in tearing them, thereby show- ing that the stamps have been used. Mr. Thaxton said threading of the string through the bags is a delicate and difficult work, and it seems im- possible to invent a machine by which jt can be done, The members of the white and black races work side by side, under the same rules and for the game pay, and are subject to the same overseers. Social distinctions assert themselves outside, but at work all are treated and paid alike. There is a fair profit in the tobacco business.— No tax would be better than any, but @ policy that will not change the tax would be better than the contrary course now prevailing. om Old Maidsand Old Bachelera, Old maids are useful. They can cook, sew and take care of children, nurse sick people and generally play the piano, Qld bachelors are useless. They do not even know how to drive nails or split wood. | Old maids gre amiable. If one) wants anything done that requires: patience and kindness of heart, a sin- gle lady is sure to be the one to do it, Old bachelors are ill-natured. They | snub children, despise babies and | hate young mothers, and aye always so busily employed in seeing that oth- er people take good care of them that they have not a moment to give any pone else. Old maids are nice-looking, and ffyoung for their years.” Old bache- lors generally have red noses, rheuma- tism in their knees, and mouths that turn down at the corners, Old maids can make a home of one little room, and cook delicious meals for one over the gas-jet in cunning little tin kettles, besides making all their wardrobes, Old bachelors need an army of tailors, waiters, cooks, distant relatives and hotel landlords to keep them comfortable. When old maids are ill they tie up their heads in pocket-handkerchiefs, take home- pathic pellets out of two bottles, alternately, and get well again. When bachelors are ill they go to bed gnd send for four doctors; have a con- sultation ; a mantle-piece full of black bottles: ail theamiable married men who belong to the club to sit up with them at night » besides, a hired nurse; they telegraph to their relations? and do their best to impress the yorld with the idea that they are dying. When an old maid travels she takes a sandwich, piece of pound-cake, a hottle of lemonade in g hand-basket, and lunches comfortably in the car- riage. When an old bachelor trav- els he orders a dinner in course at the station, and gaves because he has not time to.eat it before the “fifteen min- ntes for refteshments” are over, Old maids drink weak tea and it cures their ‘headdehes. | Old bachelors dgink strong liquor, the conviction of Cox. dispatches say : wild the window she wascaught by Cox, who held arms around his neck and clung to God!

Src. 4. The County Commissioners shall have exclusive control of erecting and repairing fetices aud gates hereiu pro- vided for, and the appowitment of sach keepers of the same as they may deem proper, and they are hereby granted ple- nary powers for that purpose, to be exer- cised according to their best discretion.

WasnInGton, May 18.—Senator Beck now hopes to reach a vote on the ‘legisla- tive bill by Tuesday, so that it can be sent over to tho House to have certain amendments operated on there and ten be ready for the President by Thursday or Friday. The veto on the supervisors: elause is now being prepared, and some of the stalwarts are urging a veto of the test oath repeal, thinking they might as well go the whole swine as yield one par- ticular in the bill of popular rights. The , and imprisoned not ex- hs ev be prevailed on toaceept this mach dictation, as he has freqnently said he fa- vored the repeal at least of the oath basi- ness, but others think this only indicates that he will not do so now, when under the partyAash. The situation is still nn- decided. The Western and Southera Democrats are mostly solid for a stand on the army bill, not on the legisla- tive, but there are some cowards in the ranks from the large business centres of the East. The bills will either be passed and Congress go home inside of @ month ov the dead-lock will Jast indefinitely. —_—__~n-— The Tenure of the Army: Undoubtedly, as we have had occasion to say heretofore, the riders attached to the Legislature bill are of more practical im- portance just at this moment than that at- tached tothe Army. But there is a grave difference involved. The Constitution does not contemplate the suspension of ei- ther Legislative, Executive, Judiciary, as might happen for lack of compensation. The Constitution not only contemplates the absence of an army, but almost directs it— The right is given to Congress to raise and support armies if thougnt advisable, but their lawful existence is limited by the Con- stitution to two years. On June 30, 1879, the lawful existence of the United States Army ends, and the militia of the several States will resume the position assigned them by the wise men who made the Con- stitution of this country.— Raleigh Observer, = —@0e —__.__.... Sap AND SuppEN Deata.—This Community was shocked on the morn- ing of the 20th of May to learn that our esteemed fellow-citizen, Mr. B. Frank Wilson (son of Hon. J. H. Wilsou) was found dead in his room the night befure about 11 o’elock. An inquest was held on the 20th and a verdict rendered that death was caused by appoplexy. Mr. Wilson was abont 38 years old, a devoted and consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, and mach loved and respected by all classes in this city. Kind, affectionate and gen- tlemanly in all the relations of life, and especially as a leading member of the Ist Presbyterian Church choir, | he will be greatly missed by the whole community.

The day “rae-ben fal, and the number of visitoredeuch larger than on any previous odeasion, | excepting the 100th anniversary in 1875. In the procession were five military com panics, the “Polk Rifles)’ “Meck- lenburg Riflemen,” “Charlotte Grays,” “Hornet’s Nest Riffemen” and “Caro- lina Institute Cadets,” and three Fire Companies, the “Hornets,” “Pioneers” , and “Independents” and a company of mounted. men known as “Conti- , nentals,” besides several i containing prominent gentlemen, among them Gov. Jarvis, Lieut-Gov. Robinson, Hon. W. M.. Robbins, orator of the day, and Judge. Fewle of Raleigh, Cole: Meam, Andzews and Staples, aud others whose nantes we are not able to procure. Under the direction ef Chief Mar- shal, Hamilton C. Jones, the proces- sion marched to the beautiful grounds of the Carolina Military Institute where the service were opened with prayer by Rev. E. H. Harding, and then the Mecklenburg Declaration of Tudependence was read by Gen J. A. Young, and an excellent Oration de- livered by Hon. W. M. Robbins of Statesville. After which a few ap- propriate remarks were made by Gov. ' Jarvis, Lient-Goy. Robinson and Judge Fowle. A public Bal], at night, at the Cen- tral Hotel, closed the festivities of the occasion.

The general co-operative stores in London have proved to be so_ useful and remunerative that the establish- ment of special stores on similar prin- ciples is contemplated. A “Millin- ery and Dress Association” has been formed, with a large shop in London and a branch in Paris. Ladies who belong to it will not only be able to get at the lowest possible prices, the very latest fashions in dress—they will also have a share in the profits of the establishment. The purchase of even a single share in the associa- tion gives participation in the shop’s profits and the privilege of dealing atit.—Raletgh Observer. 1 { | Use or StimvLants BY WoMEN. —One prominent physician here says that the burry and struggle of city life, and the high nervous organiza- tion of American women, lead to the use of stimulants, and that, as wine drinking is generally begun at the period of budding womanhood, it soon creates a fixed want, to the physical and mental detriment of the subject. His practice confirms him in the be- lief that a large share of the ai!ments of women are due to the cause here described. Another old physician says that the evil of fashionable drink- ingamong ladies is more extended than is generally believed. Many, however, have been broken up by it, and he knows of cases where prosper- ous men have been ruined in business in consequence of this evil in their families. Young ladies sip champagne here at evening parties almost oo fiantly, and many of the favorite res- taurants among Young ladies who are out shopping on Broadway, Four- teenth street, Fourth avenue, and Union Square, and elsewhere, are in reality only prized because they are such charming places tofdropjinio for a bit of solid food and aglassuf wine.— ' N.

Jefferson Davis at Beauvoir. His Domestic and Liteary Life—The: Story of a Northern Beporter. Special Correspondence of the Boston Herald. New Orveanxs, May 10.—Seventy-five miles east of this city, on the New Orleans and Mobile Railway, is the little flag-station of Beauvoir, abeut equidistant from Miasis- sippi City and Biloxi, favorite seaside re sorts of the wealthy residents of New Or- leans. Beauvoir is the home of Jefferson Davis.

Taking the half-percepti- ble roadway to your right, ten or fifteen minutes walk through the pines brings you to the beach. Here you see a house built in the airy fashion of this region of perpetu- al sunshine, This is the residence of Rev, Dr. Lacock, an aged Episcopal clergyman, once chaplain to the Duke of Cambridge. Beyond the reverend gepticman's estate, you see, fronting the beach, another estate, the aesidence of Mr. Davis. Entering the gate you pass across a lawn dotted with live onk and other trees festooned with the picture. sque Spanish moss. Before you is alow spacious mansion painted white, with broad. verandas. At either side, a trifle n | fence, is a small building, a sort of carte. : While resting on the veranda waiting for” your letter of introduction to be handed to the master your eye takes in the hospitable provisions for ease afforded by several com- fortably rocking-chairs, a table and a settee, Life here is al fresco. The broad hall which goes through the house is open to the. breeze but not to the ardent sun whose rays are intercepted by the veranda. Here, on the front veranda, sits of a morn- ing the ex-President of the Sonth. In fait view is the Gulf of Mexico, that dazzling, ” radiant expanse of shimmering biue. Its ’ summer waves glide softly to break with lulling sound upon the white and sparkling sand. The breeze is laden with the strange perfume of the sea.

The front portion of the pavilion is oc- cupied by Mr. Davis as a library and stady. Here I found him, slightly indisposed and lying upon a lounge. His manner is genial and very kindly, with that charming’courte- ay characteristic of the high-bred Southern gentleman. Seventy years ofage, Mr. Davis hea yet a fresh and vigorous look.” His “ and whiskers are white in his eye is bright and cheerful. repores, is almost’ severely in- tellectual, but the smile which lights up his mouth and his quiet; cheerful laugh dispe! the firet impresion of coldness. Few of our Public men have the quiet fascination of — manner, the old-fashioned grace and the charming conversational powers’ of Jeffer- son Davis. His memory is capacias.and re- tentive. One might, witha facile phono- graghic pen, collect great stores of reminis- cence from his lips. ' I asked him if he was much visited’ by newspaper men. He replied that he was not, for he had made it an invariable rule not to be interviewed, and of the repuises of reporters he gave me several} instances of an amusing natare. “Surely,” he said, “I who am disfranchised, not even a citizen of the United States and with no political am- ° bitions, may claim immunity from the te-"’ porters.” The conversation turned natural- ly upon the newspaper press, andin his esti= mate of the journals of the old school as compared with the newer and “spicier” pa- pers.of to day Mr. Davis showed an inti- mate knowledge of the } y of journs)- ism in this couotry, Mr. Day siga pretty extensive newspaper reader, He reads the New Orleans dailies of a morning, brougit out by the express. Papers are sent h from everywhere, many of his: Southern friends addressing their papersto “Ex-Prie-— idert Davis” Continued on second » ~ - of the relative standing of the members of - to-morrew, ~ tod he preferred the mornimg hours for lis erary task. fact, a late riser. “I got enough rising in the army in my younger d at added. The manual labor of wrifing was, he remarked, distasteful to him, and he sought relief in dictation, although his thoughts come faster than the pen of his amanuensis could secure them. ‘The only person who could ever write fast enough for me,” he said, “was my chief clerk when I was Secretary of War. He disliked com- position and I equally disliked writing.— We were, therefore, the compliments of each other.” The little library in the pavilion, is arranged very conveniently. A gallery midway up the shelves makes it easy, by means of 2 step-ladder, to handle books on the topmost shelves. The large library which Mr. Davis possessed before the war was dispersed, the books in many cases be- ing scattered through the woods, All of his present collection are newly acq tired. The lower shelves. are laden with the Con- gressional Globes—an imperfect set, Mr. Davis remarked— and the “American Archives.” Above are biographies in great number and political histories, hand books, &c. Early in the afternoon lunch was served in the little library. While we ate Mr. Davis talked pleasantly of men and events in by- gone days. He has that rare cheerfalness of hamor which communicates itself to his auditors, and has besides a quietly witty turn. What was said by Mr. Davis regard- ing current politics Iam not at liberty to repeat. But I may say that none of Mr. Davis’ judgments of men And things were tinged with bitternes¢.~ He secms to discuss politics frem the serener heights of philoso- phic statesmanship. He is tolerant of all opinions, while earnestly believing in the doctrine of State rights. Without the States there could, he said, be no Union, and in local self-government all our safety lies, Regarding certain matters which were discussed in the course of the day, I am privileged to speak. I asked him if he thought the negro exodus would assume formidable dimensions. He said he did not attribute exaggerated importance to the movement, nor did he think it a trifling matter. The negroes are credulous and easily led. Those who have gone to Kan- sas will probably return, if they have the means; others think they will remain only to die in that cold country. Some of his negro laborers on his Mississippi River plan- | tation went to Kansas, in the outset of the “exodus.” They had asked his opinion of Kansas, and he liad told them of its rigor- ous climate, but had said to them, if they felt it to be for their best good to leave, to go rather to a warmer region. Mr. Davis said that there was a great deal of excellent land in Mississippi belon- ging to the State and General Government, which the negroes might buy very cheaply. He believes that, apart from the white man, the negro will cease to thrive, and will re- Japse into barbarism. The races necd each other. Mr. Davis remarked that it was im- possible for a man who had been reared apart from the negro to have that same af- fection for him as is felt by Southern men, who have in childhood been nursed by ne- groes, been the playmates of negroes and grown up with them. On Mr. Davis's estate are pomegranate, citron and orange, and tig trees, their con- dition suticiently testifying to the geniality of the climate. The people of the region all look healthy and even rugged. The gulf affords an in- exhaustible supply of fish and there are ex- cellent oysters in profusion. One word*of the master of the estate at Beauvoir beforeI close. Mr. Davis, although I found him temporarily indisposed, has good general health. He takes a “constitu- tional” on horseback daily and is a good pedestrian, He told me that since he had left his plantation on the Mississippi and come to the coast his health had improved. When he was in Congress he spent his win- ters in Washington and his summers on the river. He thus reversed the true sanitary rule and malaria attacked his system. His sojourn in Canada benefited him greatly. Mr. Davis believes the negro alone to be permanently capable of out-door work in a hot climate. The negro thrives amid mics- ma and in swamps. Mephitic gases that would kill a white man do not harm the ne- gro. When the negro sleeps he pulls the bed-clothes over his head, and all night breathes gases which would render a white man sick, if not insensible. I noticed the kindly manner in which Mr. ‘Davis addressed his black servants.— They show in their physique and crege the} care of a kind and liberal master, and: the people of that region tell methat he ismuch beloved and venerated by his servants, Oe SENIOR EXAMINATION AT Davipson CoLLEGr.—The final examination of the | Senior class at Davidson College closed on Friday, May 23d.

We are very glad to be able to say, that in the discharge of his duties, he has given uni- versg] satisfaction. Indeed, we are remin- ded of the old times, when to be a Superior Court Judge in North Carolina was an hon- or, and a high one too, when we see the manner of Judge Schetck, in his adminis- tration of the law. Courteous to all,. he is as firm and decided as a Caldwell or Saun- ders. _ Not ‘a'oment of the public time is lost or uselesaty expended in hearing friva- loug ekjestions of counsel. We are informed that this court will cost the county less than any held here since the war.” The Grand Jury was discharged several days earlier tian usual, and this of itself is an item of no liftle importance. We have been prompted to say this much of Judge Schenek because he: deserves it as a faithful public servant. OOD ES Our contemporary of the Hillsboro’ Re- corder, has undertaken to correct.the false reports put in circulation by the northern dailies concerning the extveution of the Chapel Hill robbers, It is a very difficult task, as they can aad will, easily tell six falsehgods while he is correcting one, Ex- aggeration, and misreprcsentation is more the trade of the northern’ dailies ‘than tell- ing the’sinypie truth. The New: York Observer ofthe 27th, tells & very, amusing,story 6f,.a young. man the editor met on a street car, whose special business in connection with one of the lead- ing city dailics Was to write up exaggera- tions; and the fellow by way of explaining his business more fully, openéd one of the papers he had in his hand, and showed what he had got up about the rats of Ja- pan. Said he didn’t knaw whether there were any rats at all in that country, but he had described them as about the size of dogs and terribly fierce. He was preparing a series of articles on the cockroaclies of China, and asked Mr. Prime if he knew anything about them. Our venerable friend of the Jecorder will no doubt visit Beaufort on the 16th proximo, and we admonish him to reserve himself for something worth while: It has been a long time since the sandfiddlers were well written up, and we feel sure it would be a pleasanter and more profitable job than the one in hand. >> ae They went on joyful for about 100 yards her, and the bridegroom conducted her back to her father’s house. After many en- treaties he, prevailed, and they set out again for the J. P.; but when about 50 yards on the road the bride’s heart failed again, and back she went. After some time spent in remonstrances and coaxings the bridegroom got her to try it once more, and this time she broke down ten steps from her father's door. Back she went, declaring she would not get married to-day. The bridegroom now got wrathy, and. demanded sundry presents he had made her for the occasion, and taking these emblems of what was to be the happiest day of his life, he went off to a distillery, and was cursing his luck in heavy draughts of whiskey. In the midst of his carousal messengers arrived informing him that the bride had relented and would now go. He returned with the wedding fixings—the bride put them on again, and this time went through, and it is said they are now happy. The Asheville Citizen gives this as a true mountain story, I ANOTHER RonsER Banp!—The crowd which attended the hanging of three of the Hillsboro rebber band, have barely had time to return to their homes when the -Charlotte Obserrer announces the discovery of another band at Statesville, and names, as members of it, two young white men of respectable parentage, one of them a native of Iredell county, and one or two negroes, One of the white men has been arrested and is in jail. The other escaped. Still another robber band has come to light within the last week, this time at Murfreesboro’, Tenn. ; and like.these in our own State, composed of white men and ne- groes. >> A correspondent of the Raleigh Observer of the 24th instant, in a well conceived, ar- ticle, by contrasting the ‘educational facili- ties of the present time with those of thirty but one Institution (the State University) worthy the name of #'toNeg& we now have Wake Forest, Trinity, and: Davidson.

If they believe the traffic is an evil which ought -to be abated, it is conceded on all hands that they have the right to pat it down. They cannot prevent men from drinking liquor. It is not expected that the suppression of the traffic will accomplish this entirely ; but the prohibition of the traffic will re- move it from public view, will take it from before the eyes of the young and put it nhder proscription as a dangerous, deadly evil, and relieve the consclencies of citizens, who feel that they are re- sponsible for the public sauction given the Heense system.

If they are unwilling to bear these burdens any longer (having borne them all their lives) they have a right to throw them off, and we shall be glad te see them do it. -_ rr ae The latest mule story is remarkable: a man out in the gold digging of the West had a spite against a mule at the mine, and loaded a can with nitro glycerine and set it where he expected the mule to find and kick ft. The mule did find the can, and after,smelling of it, squared himself. to kick it.

And now, Mr. President, it seems to be the peeuliar misfortune of ile sec-ion from which’ T come, and I believe it to be also the misfortune of the whole country, that no question in any way por.tining to the South or originating with any representative fron the South has been able to obtain a fain hearing in these halls upon its merits, In decd it would seem as it the day for that | Kind of discussion had passed away forever.

I desire only to makewtew observations in reply te these sectional appeals. Mr, President, who made the South sol- id? The answer is as plain and uumis- takeable as it is possible to make any-| thing to the human intelleet: the Repub- | bean, party is responsible for this thing. At the Beg aniog of the late war almost the enttte Wing party of the South, With ja large and intigential partion of the Dem- ocratic, Were in favor of the Union. and depreested with their whole souls the at- tempt at its destruction, but through love of their native States and sympathy with their kindred and neighbors, they were drawn into the support of the war. What became of them atter the war? Their wis- dom in opposing it was justitied by the ruinous results; their patriotism and courage were highly appreciated, and | when peace came this class were in high favor at the South, while the secessionists as the original jadvocates of a disastrous | 1 i c |supremacy ? Notwithstanding the wild policy were down in public estimation.

You deposed our Stete govern- ments and ejected from ottice every official from Goveruor to township constable, and remitted us to a state of chaos in which the only light of human authority for the reglation of humaw attairs and the con- trol of human passiovs was that which gleamed from the polished point of the soldier's bayonet. Under this simple and easily comprehened system of jurispru- dence so consonant to the great assertion of the great declaration, that “govern- ments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed,” you began and completed the task of suaranteeing to.ns ae. epublican” form of goverpment. You Uisfranchised at least ten per cent. of our citizens, embracing the Wisest, best, and Most experienced. You enfranchised our slaves, the lowest and most ignorant; and you placed over them as leaders a class of men who have attained to the highest po- sitiens of iafuiny known to modern ages. In order to: preserve the semblanee of consent, conventions were called to fern new constitutions, the delegates to which were chosen by this pew and unheare-of coustituency, The military counted the Votes, often at the headquarters in dis- tant States, the geacral in command de- termining the election and qualitications of the delegates. Many of these delegates were begrocs, on whom the right te vote and hold office had not yet been bestowed. They franied constitutions iu which they §ive themselves this right, and it was snb- mitted for ratification tothe same constit- acney who chose the dclegatea, and none other—that is to say, they proponnded the question whether they shonkk vote and hold office to themselves, and decided this question by their own votes, while white men were vot permitted to vote.

And now that we are seeking to restore this state of things and to bring back the govern. ment to the paths in which our fathers trod, the attempt is denounced as revolutionary and the trumpet is blown to warn the coun- try that the end of all things is about to come when, we trust, nothing is about to come to an end except the domination of ine.” rex adjudicata. ican citizen blush. ment. To illustrate their Proposition first : of the United States ted.—Senator from Maine. Coming briefly to the real questions, I ask why should the law authorizing the military to be used at the polls not be repealed and supervision also be not repealed ? “I take it to be indisputably established without B.D. relating to the elective franchise is placed by the constitution under the control of the States, and all that the Federal government can do is to sce that fhe States, as such, do not discciminate against any on account of race, color, or previous condition of servi- tude. This is the whole duty and power of Congress “as dectated by the Supreme Court. When any Republican Senator has ventured for one moment to abandon the line of inflaimatory appeal to the sectional tecling of the country, the excuses given for the retention of this law upon the statute- book are illogical almost to puerility. One Senator gravely utges that it should not be repealed because the great bulk of the army is in the distant West, onty some few hundreds being cast of the Rocky Moun- He tells us in the course of his enu- meration that there are only about thirty in the State of North Carolina, and asks the Senators from that State if they are afraid of that number of soldiers. Passing ever the obvious fact that within thirty days ten thousand could be sent there if de- sired. Tanswer that we vo fear them, be- cause they represent the power of the United States government and the enmity of the Republican party which wields that power; we fear them as the Hollangler fears the first small leak in the dikes which bear back the waves of the ocean trom deluging the mcad- ows ot his homestead ; we fear them as the physician fears the first speck of gangrene in the system of his patient; we fear them as the sailor fears the piling up of the storm clouds upon the horizon, knowing that their deceptive beauty covers the fierce desola- tion of the tempest; we fear them as the shepherd of the mountain fears for his lambs at even $the flitting of a shadow athwart his path, for he knows it to be the shadow of the eagle, the remorseless tyrant of the air; we fear.them.as Charlemagne : feared the rude wooden ships of the Norse | President.

It has become a common prietice, All par- ties when in power have adopted it.. The public welfare will be promoted ia many. ways by a return to the early practice of the government and the true principles at leg‘@ation.”—The President Hence the practice of tacking legisla- tion to appropriation bills having been practiced “by all parties for more than fifty years, it should be inmediately abandoved when disagreeable to the President or ineonvenient to the party, its antiquity not being sufficient to jus- tify it, though greater thau the period of it8 non-use. Corollory first— It follows, therefore, that the practice of using troops at the pols, which did not prevail for more than seveuty-tive years after the adoption of the constitution, should pow become of general and indispensable use ; four- teen years being amply sufficient time to legalize it, and it being now absolutely necessary for the preservation of the Repnblican party.

N. B.—It is said ou high authority that the Secretary of War and the Secretary of State once held this problem unsound bunt were coerced into assenting to it by party necessity. But guien sabe! [Laugh- ter.] So much for the absurbv deductions which may be logically drawn from the premises epntained in the veto messages and the arguments of Senators. Now, Mr. President, why should not the peace at the polls and the purity of elections be entrusted to the authority, the virtue, and the patriotism of the Stater, where alone our fathers placed it? Is it because the States are unable with iheir civil machinery to preserve the | peace ? They have invariably proven able | in the past except in cases of such unn- sual violence as is contemplated in the | constitution, article 4, section 4. . Are they unwilling? Surely they are willing | to preserve their autonomy and perpetu- ate their own existence. Are they cor- rupt? Surely if their inhabitants as citi- | zens ot the States are too corrupt for gelf- | goverment, it is not possible that their virtue should be improved and their cor- ruptions cease the moment they are in- | vested with authority by the United | States. On the contrary there is always | found less of repousi bility and more of | corruption in aggregated than in separate | communities. How cana corrupt State | officer become an incorruptible Federal officer ? To suppose. tliat the States are either unable, unwilling, or too corrupt to’ hold | peaceful and honest elections is to declare unmistakably that the people thereof are incapable of self-goverument. “Let each Senator have written on his brow what he thinks of the Repablic,” said the Sena- tor from New York, quoting the old Roman. Sosay I. Let each Senator Bay for himself what he thinks of his State ; are its people incapable of self-govern- ment, of choosing their rulers peaceable and honestly 2? For one I ean say with unspeakable pride and with absolute truth that the people of the State of North Carolina who sent me here are able, willing, and virtuous enoagh to fulfill these and all the other high functions of free government; that they have ever | done so since the keels of Raleigh's ships first grated upon the white sauds of her shores; and God helping them, they and their children will continue to do 80, if not’ destroyed by centralizations until chaos shall come again.” It is with &x- treme sadness that I hear avy ether Sena- tor intimate that itis net so with his people. Mr. President, did you ever consider fora moment the manifold and extra- orinary uses to which we are subjecting the soldiers ? Auddid youever think that all this meansin fact the failure of the civil authority, that our liberties are deelin- ing more and more as we employ force ?

Iu this way it seems to me that we are forsaking the civil fanctions of our institutions and utilizing the soel- dier. in addition to their legitimate business as defenders of the country, we have made of them governors of States, legis a tors, organizers of legislatures and judges of the election and qualifications of the mewbers thereof, jndges of law and equi- ty and of the crimiuals courts, policemen, sheriffs, marshals and deputy marshals, revenue Officers and still-house hunters, mavagers of railroads, coutrollers ot churches and of schools, jnstices of the if John peace, supervisors of election, mathema- ecured by one who stands to General W.

Epiror: Men who are blessed with life, health, and strength, should recollect that it is their duty to lead active, honest, eergetic lives. If rich, it is their duty tp work, that they may be useful to wan- kind; if poor, it is the more encumbent ao them to work, that they may not be burthensome to others. None, who have wental and physical health, have any jst excuse for being long wretchedly poor. Visfortunes may sweep away all earthly eects, but corporeal and mental activity honestly and energetically directed, can wou replace them, at least, to the extent of a comfortable competence. The Supreme Ruler never intended that aay man or woman should live a mere drone. He did not intend, because He, in His wisdom, and for incomprehensibly wise purposes, had afflicted Lazarus, and cused him to be a proper object of char- ity, those who are neither sick vor sore, years, whenever a man became a candi- | date for any office, and desired the suf-— tne tToues of the people, the first. step he efe would take was to impress upon the minds "Pf all voters the-belief that-he was oppos- edto the payment of old debts; that’ he had always loved the homestead ‘} that he loved and revered it still; and tem. tliat-he woald sooner part from his wife — . Lenhance his popularity. It is hoped that ' cupied the pulpit of the Presbyterian church f, and children than vote for its repeal. So prong was the belief in it, as an all-popu- lar electioneering theme, that almost every ex-member of onr Legislature, ' | when asking for re-election, would claim to be its father, or some very near rela- tive of its father. Bat thanks be to heav- en, such cannot be the way much longer! | The people are fast learning not to adore, - bat to execrate it, they having been de- ecived and bamboozled and told, even by the Siipréme Court of our State that it © would hold good against all debts, wheth- | er created before or after its ratification. | The writer of this very well remembers an instance, which occurred last summer, | of a gentleman of fine abilities and long | experience as a legislator, who came very near lousing his election by claiming to. be the father of this ill-begotten, horribly | deformed, semi-defunct baby, under a| misapprehension that such a course would all candidates who may be hereafter fool- | hardy enough to desire to shoulder the paternity of such cadaverous monsters, will meet defeat commensurate with their nonsense. ; Now the writer does not suspect that the homestead law can or will be repealed immediately ; but he does think and hope tlfat the people of North Carolina desire its repeal, and are ripe in readiness for it. Its repeal would give new vitality and energy toall the laudable pursuits of men. ft would cast into the fire all those infer- nal mortgages, nechanic’s liens, &c., that have so embarrassed all sorts of Dusiuess, and enable honest men to breathe easier, sleep better, live more comfortably, and die better Christians. It would throw every man upon his own resources, and teach him that through honesty, industry, economy and prudence, he can suceced ; and that otherwise he ought not, and need Ile hopes that the press, both secular and religious, will take the matter in hand and discuss # fully on its merits and demerits; 80 that the people may have their minds fully not expect success. bat lazy only, should have any just claims tobe supported by others; yet there no many such lazy fellows scattered over the | country; wany Whose names are enrolled amembers of the church, and others, of the Whileall must appreciate orthodox preach- even miuisters Lord's gospel. -ing based on orthodox faith, and issuing from hallowed lips, as of inestimable val- veto mankind, none, I presume, cfm or woukl say that they want such lazy fel- lows to attempt to point out the way for them, even in regard to wordly affairs. Both Charch and State affairs should be so conducted as to discourage as far as possible, laziness and dishonesty. ‘The Chureb generally should undergo a pro- cess of thorongh expurgation, gxcommu- nitatiuy all lazy, dishonest, upexemplary members, and show itself to be-a body, not dead, but ative in al} thinga-caleutat- ed to promote the mélforation of the con ditions of the children of Ameb,-both in a spiritual and temporal point of-view. * ~4 The State should repeal® alt-its honiec- stead laws.

Mr. Eprror: The chief events of inter- est that have occurred recently were the Week be- fore last Prof. Rothrock entertained us two nights witlr music and recitations by his pupils. selves satisfactorily to all who were present, Prof R. deserves great credit for his untir- ing efforts to build up a thorough school— the closfig exercises just over fully testify The next closing exercises of the schools. The young ladies acquitted them- gust... We'hope to see a large number of ‘young ladies present. Last week, as afinounced, the commencce- ment exercises at N. C. College took §place. Dr, Bikle preached the Baccalaureate ser- mon onthe 18th. It was one of his hap- piest efforts, and the appreciation of the congregation was fully shown by the close attention paid during the discourse. 5 On Tuesday, the literary contest between the societies occurred. The representative speakers were D. H. Wadsworth, G. W. Daywalt, and C. A. Rose of the Pi-Sigma- Phi society, and C. G. Heilig, D. E. Hed- rick, and J. B. Fox of the Philalaithean. The young gentlemen acquitted themselves very ereditably, and have received much praise for their efforts from those who heard them. - Rev. J. A. Linn delivered the Atumni address Tuesday afternoon. The Senior exercises, and the address to tlie literary society, by Dr. Craven of Trin- ity College, took place on Wednesday. It was Dr. C’s. first visit to our-village, and many of our péople had never heard him before... His reptitation, however, had led all_to anticipate something far above ordi- nary. It is useless to tell North Carolinians that in this respect no body was disappoin- ted. We regret that his duties did not permit the Dr. to remain with us longer. The exercises were enlivened with music by the “Mt. PleasantgVornet Band,” a band that owes all of its proficency to the careful and accurate training of Prof. W. H. Neave of Salisbury, a sufficient testimony that the music was excellent. We notice in our community a party of Northern gentlemch, recently come, who are looking after mining property. There is no Letter section in the State than this for paying property of that kind, and it is hoped that the parties just alluded to will find it to their advantage to- invest their capital, and: that they will succeed once they have invested.

OFFICE OF STATE Ex. COMMITTEE, t CHar.orre, N. C. May 22d, 1876. The third annual convention of the Young Men’s Christian Association of North Carolina will assemble in Salisbury, Thurs- day evening, June 26th, and continue in session Friday and Saturday, closing with special religious services on the Sabbath following. . Two years ago, in this city, a little band joined in the exercises of our first annual gathering. We were few in number, but lieving that the future would witness the rapid. develapment of our organization and that our efforts would be blessed. After the lapse of a year, our second convention was-held in Greensboro where our most san- guine expectations were seen to have been fulfilled. Fourteen associations were repre- sented by nearly two score of earnest, en- thusiastic young men. Our meeting togeth- er on that occasion was delightful in the extreme, and an impetus was given to the work, the full scope of which cannot be de- finitely ascertained until the re-assembiing of our association in convention st Satis- bury. ° Each regularly constituted association, will be allowed four delegates, but associa- tions whose active membership includes any persons who are not members of the Evan- gelical church, are excluded by an article in the Constitution of the State Associa- tion, from representation in the conven- tion. : Any representative man from a commu- nity where there is no formal organization tig ME St Saget a Pe ————_-- HY ‘ a Ge wee . oe The sharp rise in the New York money market,.as, noticed in T y ,afternoon’s among business men, and. naturally they seek for a solution of the cause, On re- viewing the financial movements of thc past fortnight it is not hard to find, howev- er, and equitably stated it isthe result of a step taken by Secretary wman that, no matter how well intentioned, is One in ad- vance of what the country needed. - We re- fer to tlie isstie of the $10 -certifientes,: the remarkable salé of which. is, violently con- tracting tlie-“eurrency.- The finaticial-re- ports of the New York daily papers, show that during ‘the past week’ the banks of that city have lost $5,866,000 in legal ten- ders. The surplus reserve has again been reduced ovet $5,000,000, leating but about one-fourth of a million over-the reserve now required by law. In other words, one more week of such work would leave the New York banks without any reserve whatever, and thus place thém in the same position as those of New Orleans were placed a few weeks ago. _ As above stated, this is the restlt of a blunder on the part of the Secretary of the Treasury. .The issue of these certificates was intended expressly for sale to the poorer class, by which means they could invest their savings with a greater degree of se- curity than in rotten savings banks, and that the certificates should be. confined ex- clusively to this class the sales to cach were limited in amount. This safeguard amoun- ted to nothing, for, as stated daily in the press, the applicants clothed in rags, were but the agents of bankers and speculators, Millions are drawn daily inthis manner from the citics and villages of the land wherever they are sold, and from all these places there comes a sudden and unnatural demand for legal-tenders. This drain, un- like the ordinary gutflow which is both caused and compensated by commercial movements, takes away currency to be em- ployed in fhis systematic fraud until it gets locked up in the Treasury, and unless the greatest care is taken, the powerful con- traction resulting from this unnatural and discreditable process will cause serious trouble. , This blunder on the part of Secretary Sherman should be rectified immediately by withdrawing the certificates altogether.— IIe should know by this time that it is im- the law and of his orders; and the futility of any attempt to prevent the organized capital of the country from absorbing the profits of these sales has been fully demon- strated. And another thing, as long as the certificates are werth over 3 per cent. more than the legal-tenders demand for them the GQpverament is robbing itself for the benefit of speculators and bankers. We are disposed to credit Secretary Sher- man with honest and benevolent motives in advocating and securing the issue of these certificates ; but at the same time it would appear that he was endeavoring to score a point for popularity during the Presidential race, thus killing two birds with one stone. Should this appendage to his financial plan be still adhered to as forming a part of the 4 will be reecived and accredited as a dele- his pastor, stating that he is a member in good and regular standing, of some Evange- lical church.

The report of the News, of that city, gives the following : “After the conclusion of Col. Maryo’s ad- dress, Senator Z. B. Vance wagyescorted to the stand by the following named gentle- ‘men: Ion. R. E. Withers, Gen. J. A. Early, Hon. James A. Walker, Hon. Thomas | Whitehead, Dr. A. I. Clark, and Messrs. C. W. Button, John W. Carroll, T. C. 8. Fer- ' guson and E. P.

Early in a very appropriate specch, af- ‘ter which he proeeeded to deliver a most excellent address, which from the first Spn- tence to the last, rivited the strictest atten- tion, and elicited frequent bursts of ap- plause. An attempt to print an abstract of the speech would do manifest injustice to the distinguished speaker, but we echo the opinion of all who heard it when we say that it was conspicuously and essentially a practical, common scnse address, full of teristic wit, and clothed in the most choice language. Pcrhaps no address on asimilar occasion in this city has given so complete satisfaction, and delighted so many classes and conditions of people. There was some thing in it to please everybody, and even 1 those whose expectations were highest, were more than satisfied.” Speaking editorially of the address, the Newssays: “Thespeech of this distinguish- ed gentleman yesterday, at our fair, not only gave general satisfaction to his hearers, but was the occasion of some brilliant hits in a cross-fire of wit, in which Senator Withers and General J.

What hehasto say of the State of Affairs at Washington. From the Charlotte Observer. Judge T. J. Mackey, of Chester, S.C., arrived in the city yesterday from Washtngton, whither he went to testify before the Wallace (former- ly known as the Teller) committee. A part of his testimony was published in yesterday morning’s Observer. Judge Mackey was one of that class of Re- publicans who refused to affiliate with the corrupt class of Radicals repre- sented by Scott, Chamberlain, e id omne genus, and threw hisstrength in favor of Hampton. He -was subse- quently elected judge by a Democra- tic Legislature. Judge Mackey has been in Wash- ington for ten days, and has had full opportunity of finding out the situa- tion of affairs at the capital. He talks remarkably well, and freely express- ed his opinion onthe situation at Washington to a groupe of gentle- men collected at the Central Hotel yestesday. Aeis convinced that, by Saturday or Monday, at furthest, the Democrats will have decided to pass the appropfiation bills and go before the country on the manly efforts they have made to dispense with troops at the polls, and in favor of free elec- tions. As to the bill abolishing the jurors’ test oath, which he considers far more important, he says that the President told him, in the conversation day be- fore yesterday morning, that he would sign it as soon as it was - presented to him; that he had said this much at the meeting of the cabinet on the day before. He says, further, that the element in Congress which urges a refusal to pass the appropriation bills in the hope of compelling the President to accede to their demands as to the riders, is composed almost entirely of the Northern Democrats. The South- ern-element inclines to the opinion that it would be unwise to adopt this course, for the reason that the Repub- licans would be able to gain some- thing at the North at least by their ery of revolution, The logical se- quence of this, Judge Mackey argues, would be to stop the wheels of gov- ernment entirely, close all the depart- ments, disband the army, and call in the pational ships of war from the high seas. The actual result, he claims would be that Northern Republican capitalists would offer to furnish the means to run the government, and would then cry out Ahat they had saved the republic.“ He represents Senators Hampton and Butler as favoring the policy of passing the appropriation bills, and as expressing the opinion that the Democrats have nothing to fear in going before the people with their record, Mr. Hayes’ trouble, he thinks, is that he is under the control of the worst element of this party, and has struggled with his conscience against the party He has been | pursuaded to thiuk that the Demo- cratic party in the South is nothing else than the old Confederate army without the uniform ; that it is full- fledged and ready to fly at the first fair day.

And perhaps one of the very worst perversions of this: be- neficeuice may be found in that degen- erated custom commonly known by the term’“treating.” Possibly its or- | igin may be tracked back to spontane- ous generosity, but if so, how witely has it diverged from.the first princi- ples of the admirable virtue which gave it birth. But who would have the effrontery to claim that it is a generous motive which prompts men to tempt their fellow-men? Strangely cnough, he is sometimes called warm-hearted, whole souled man who leads his neighbor up to the bar and urges him to par- take of that which may deprive him of situation, self-respect and reputa- tion. Reflection does notimprove the complexiou of this worse burlesque upon liberality tu the sad effects of which there are thousands of wretch- ed monuments to be seen in every large city. Even though stripped of its ruinous- ly injurious features, the custom’ of treating would yet Lea ridiculous one. Imagine its application to the pur- chase of other commodities than li- quor and cigars. Think how ludic- rous would be the proposition of a young man to his companion, while they were promenading the pavement in the Arcade, of such an idea as this: . “Ah, come along, I say, and have a pair of spectacles with me; I) want to wet this new hat.” What if one of the company of young gentlemen on the stree should say : “Now boys, I want to set “em up for the crowd; come in and have a chromo, or bracket, or something with me!” Yet which would be more valuable toa man and his family, chromos, brackets, and even spectacles, or li- quor enough to make him drunk ? It is a lamentable fact that “treat- ing” is a custom as purely American as it is ruinous in its effects. And yet, with this, as many other injuri- ous practices, people recognize and ac- knowledge their evil influence and power, but will not abandon or con- demn them because they happen to be customs largely observed by those who have the name of being generous and shunned by the stingy, hard-fisted class. —_-- Veto Number Three. A summary of the message which Mr. Hayes sent into congress yester- day in returning to that body unsigned the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, is to be seen in our telegragphic columns this morning. This message, like the others, is mere- ly a campaign document, and even as such, will not carry much weight with it. It does not lie in the mouth of Mr. Hayes, least of all men, to make war upon the system of tacking poli- tical legislation upon appropriation bills since he has voted in Congress in favor of this very thing, and it doesn’t stand any Republican in hand Mr. Haves nor any one else, to argue that supervision of elections is nec- essary to maintain.their purity, see- ing that that party haa never exercis- ed this supervision in the past except ‘for the purpose of falsifying public sentiment as expressed at the polls. | Upon this point Mr. Hayes’s theory |is very excellent, as a theory, but the “people know to their cost what it meaus_when put into practical opper- ‘ation.

But the true vote of these dis- tricts 33 represented in contests when par- ties are brought out is ty be found in the year 1876. The average of the voters in the cighth congressional district of North Carolina, as shown by the election of that year, is 28,301, which I think is about equal to any district almost in the United States. Mr. Blaine. I have the statistics here right to band for the honorable Senator trom North Carolina. In the vighth district of that State R. B. Vance was chosen‘and holds his seat by a vote of 2,894. Pwo years ago the Republican vote in the district was 7,893. Mr. Vance. was 15,868. Mr. Blaine. And all the other Democrats knew somehow or other instinctively that they were not needed. Mr, Vance. Yes, sir; because your party had not received the supplies and orders fiom Washington City. [Laughter.] Mr, Biaine. Out of a Democratic vote two years ago of 20,000 in the district some- how or other there happened to be an: un- derstanding over that’ district that only 2,000 were necessary to come out. Now, let the honorable Senator from North Caro- Hina explain to me how, in a district that must covera very considerable expanse of territory, because North Corolina Is mot a densely populated State—will he explain to me (as a matter of curiosity I ask it) how it was so generally known on the part of the Demucrats, who could cast 20,000 votes that it was only necessary to bring out 2,800; because, although the Republicans had cast 8,000 votes two years ago, there were none of them coming out? How did that happen ? Mr, Vance. And the Democratic vote Icannot state exactly what this instance it was generally understood that they were not necded, and more than one-third of the votes cast for the sitting member for the eighth district belonged to the gentleman’s own party. Mr. Blaine. Then I will give him anoth- er conundrum. In the sixth district, Wal- ter L. Steele holds his seat by 5,166 votes. Two years ago there were 10,283 Republi- can votes in that district. How was it known throughout that district that the 10,283 Republicans necd not come out ? Mr. Vance. ‘That is precisely the same conundrum you put me before, and the same answer applies. Mr. Blaife. Did the Republicans vote for Mr. Steele also? , Mr. Vance. No, sir. Mr. Blaine. Then it is not the same cegundrum, because the answer is not the same, Mr. Vance. They did not come out at all. They put out no candidate. Mr. Blaine. Why did candidate ? | Mr. Vance. You ought to answer that. You were in authority in Republican coun- cils in Washington City, and you know why they did not send money down to prepare on account of fraud if you lost.” The Sena- | tor from Maine ought to know the reason | for that, Iain sure I do not. | Mr. Blaine. Icould give a reason, but the honorable Senator would not accept it. Then, in the seventh district R. F. Arm- field was elected by 8,403 votes, whgn two ; Years ago the ltepublicans cast 9,500 votes. In those three districts of North Carolina the tiree sitting members in the other end of the Capitol were chosen by a vote that was a fraction only of the Republican vote that had been cast in the district, and there- fore I leave it for the honorable Senator, not to answer me, but to answer to the: Senate and to the country how it became known to those twenty-five thousand Republicans who could largely have outyoted the num- bers cast for the Democratic canelidates that it was net worth while for them to come out?) That is the question I want an- swered. Mr. Vance. Ifthe Senator from Maine desires to knaw, Icannot give him the in- formation; but as to his conundrum to the | Senate and tothe country, I was. simply trying in accordance with precedents that have been established to put my informa- tion in where it would do the most good.— I Jo not think there is a man in the Senate or ia the United States of America who is acquainted with the run of politics but knows very well the proper answer to that uestion. It is that sometimes where there }s no contest and where there is no hope of victory the minority party does not come out at all. In the seventh district of North Carolina that was last named by the Scna- tor, I know the fact that in one of the Re- publican counties of that district no elec- tion was held at all, at least none was re- ported to the board of canvassers. The vote was extremely smal! on both sides. As the proportion of falling off was about the same on one side as the other, it would still leave the majority party in a small majority.— That is the explanation, which I think the country understands, Mr. Blaine. I think the country under- stands it exactly that way with a little ad- dendum by way of illustration. They do understand that it has got to be in a great many sections of the South utterly useless and utterly valueless to-make any opposi- tion in the shape of a popular election to the Democratic party, and that therefore it does not make any odds whether six hun- dred or one thousand or ten thousand do the voting. It is just as well in a district with twenty thousand Democratic voters to have eight thousand de the voting as to have thé whole of theni & it; and the ten or twelve thousand Republicans who are who would be anxious to have some Oppor- tunity tq elect a representative known that | it is not the slightest use in the world for | thew, and it is vradually coming’ to that avery small handful determine who shall be the representative and make a posi- tive mockery of popular elections. Mr. Vance. I shoutd'tike to ask the Sen- ator if it is unknown in any portion of bis country that a paity that is in a hopeless minority fail sometimes to put up a eandi- date; or do they always make a fight jyst the same as if they were going to win q victor and poll their full strength? Mr. Blaine. I will answer the honorable Senator by sume statistics I have here, clas- sifying the Nerth and ... South. In the North there are one hundred .and seventy- seven districis that cast over 20,000 votes. There are only two districts in the whole North that cast below 15,000, and those Were the two that were referred to in my honorable friend’s State. I think the tig- ures auswer the.

The most ap- proved remedies for such cases had been used, and the most eminent physicians consulted, without any decided benefit. ‘hus ggpmesap eat distressed, .de- sponding, I was:advised by Dr. Ayer, of Floyd toun- ty, Ga., lo commence the use of your Compound Kx- tract Stillingila. Language is as insuificient te de- scribe the reiief I obtained from the use of the Stil- lingia as it is to convey an adaquate ideu of the in- tensity of my suffering before using your medicine; sufticient to say, I abandoned all other remedies and continued the use of your Extract of Stillingia, until I can say truly, “I am cured of ali pain,” of all dis- eases, with nothing to obstruct the active pursuit of my profession. Siore than eight months have elapsed since this remarkable cure, without any 1e- turn of the disease. : For the truth of the above statement, I refer to any gentleman in Bartow County, Ga., end to the | members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who are ac- quainted with me.

Mrs. Yates was in her 86th year and was remarkable for many sterling and womanly traits which endeared her to her friends and exacted more than filial devo- ‘tion from her children. Mr. Yates left the city yesterday to attend her funeral.—Char. Observer. naa _ ADMIRING THE Lapies.--You must know my opivion of female society. Withont it we should degenrate into brutes This observation applies with teu-fold force to young wen and those who are in the prime of manhood. For, after a cer- tain time of life, the literary may make a shift (a poor oue I grant) to do without the society of ladies. Toa young man nothing is so important as a spirit of de- Votion (vext to his Creator) to some am- iable woman whose image may occupy his heart, and guerd it from pollution, which besets it on allsides. Aman ought. to chose his wife, as Mrs. Primrose did her wedding gown, for qnaltities that “wear well.” One thing at least, is trae, that if matrimony has its cares, celibacy | has no pleasures. A Newton, or a mere | scholar, may find employment in study ;a | man ofjliterary tastes can receive in books a powerful auxiliary; bunt a man must have a bosom friend and children around him to cherish and support the dreariness of old age.—John Randolph. — - THe tna Ervuptiox.—Loudon, May 30.—The eruption of Etna increases in force. The quantity of ashes thrown ont is less; but the volume of vapor has great- ly increased in density. Ou Wednesday night a namber of brilliant balls of fire were thrown toa great height and barst aloft like rockets, emitting a fiery shew- er. A stream of lava is flowingapparent- ly in the direction of the town of Randaz- zo, but the direct line has not yet been verified. Daring the whole of Wednes- day night loud reports like the rolling of artillery were heard. —— ae ____ ANOTHER ZULU War.—London, May 30.—A telegram just received from South Africa, dated Maritzburg, May 17th, says ‘the people of a powerful Zula chiefnamed | Mateona and the forces of Cetawayo.

Here he will j await the British advance. | —_——2 «oe { The Concord Sun says John Hinson, a man who lived abont a mile from Rocky River Springs, Stanly county, was found dead in his new ground last Tuesday morning. He went to work the evening before, and not being well, his wife en- deavored to dissuade him from going, bat remarking that he expected to work as long as he lived, he started to work, aud did uot return at night. His wife went to search for hint, bat could not find him. He was fonnd in the morning about sun- rise, and had apparently been degd all i night. : ee Mr. Thomas H. Robinson, of Poplar Tent, Cabarrus county, thus addresses the Concord Register: We have sheared our sheep. Our Merino- buck yielded 13 ponnds, and a one year old Jamb sheared 114 pounds. The flock averaged 84. The grades, cross of the Merino on the natives, average 5 pounds and 9 ounces. No spe- cial care was taken of the flock. The manure more than pays all expenses. The iycrease is sixty por cent. We find the thoroughbred sheep the healthiest and hardiest, and will bear more crowd- ing and continemeut, and are more gentle | than the natives. —--~~—>-_ ____ A few hundred yards from the top of e Blue Ridge are two springs about one } SENSIBLE To THE Last.— Our representa- tive, Col.

News. ScagaRr— f k AI 2S ao a pe aN 2" Move. Farurxe.—The Fayette- ville Gazette has the following to say of a visit to Mr. . Worth’s farm near the town. Responding to a cordial invitation from Mr. Worth, afew days since, we yisited his farm on Haymount, and took the round of his premises. Mr. Worth is a firm ad- voeate of high cultivation—bringing the land up to all its worth—and cer- tainly his success has so far justified him in his system of agriculture. He has two beaytify! fields of wheat, the onein front of his residence, espe- cially, being superior to anything we have seen of the sort in all this sec- tion. From this fiekl Mr. Worth always grows two or three crops, and the fertility of the soil appears to be igexhaustible. He never buys a pound of flour, and has a fine article of seed wheat to sellevery season. He took us to see his prize hogs— full-blooded Essex and Berkshire breed, ‘as fine a lot of porkers gs could be fouiid anywhere; his cows, the ex- celleuce of which we saw afterwards in the bowles and crocks of milk, cream and butter in his dairy trough; his system of manuring, composting etc.,in which everything is made to count in the fertilization of the soil; hisggardening, where we saw Icttucc headed, early salid and spinach ready for the table, peas in bloom, apricots nearly as large as one’s thumb, hops in full growth—aud, in short, every- thing to render a man self-support- ing and independent of the world ground him. Rapid Curing of Fodder. Green herbage cured radpidly is decidedly superior to that which is cyred slowly. This is another point in haymaking which many otherwise good farmers fuil tocomprehend. The Joss of nutritive matter in curing hay is considerable even when the opera- tion! is conducted in the best possible maveer gndin the most favorable weather, but bya very little care- lessness it may reagh fifty per cent, or even more. In good weather grass cutin the forenoon may me raked up into wind-rows or small heaps in the evening, and then left to cure further in this shape if necessary. But it should not be allowed to be wet with the dew or rain after the grass has once become wilted, if it can possibly be avoided. Grass cut down late in the afternoon may be left out in the swath over night without any per- ceptible injury, but it is poor policy to out more in the morning than can be ‘gathered up at night. All un- necessary exposure to light, air, and mofgture should be avoided if good, green, suceulent fodder is the point aintéd at.’ Hay that is cured quickly ig not only better in quality, but looks‘ Letter, the green color remain- jng more perfectly than when the pro- cess hax continued slowly and through several days. Cutting early jp fine weather and curing quickly are the two main points in making hay of fine quality. a Hay Making. The practice of waiting until the grass is thoroughly ripe before cut- ting, and after cutting allowing it tg remaiu ia the field until the little Juioe: that is left is dried out before it 1g put into the stack op vale, is simply a relic of agricultural barbarism, This system of hay-making Was evi- dently founded on the mistaken no- tion thas njore growth was secured by allowing the grass tostand. until it was thoroughly ripeued; and froma fear that it would heat and mold if put away before being thoroughly dry; but the first supposition is now proven to be false, and the fears in regard to thetutter point have vanished before the light of experigyce, oa A Stycucar Case.— A horse was taken toa veterinary Surgeon recent- ly,to be cured of a corn in the foor, Ta paring the corn the Operator found A worm ghoyt three-eighths of gn inch long, qne-sixteenth of an ‘ineh thick, and sharp ateach end as a needle.

To be in po action is not to live. A man owes his success in his life work to the woman who walks beside him. | The sweetest thing on earth isa lit- tle child when it has learued to know and love. How contagious is the laugh of some people; how jarring that of others, like playing ona worn out piano. After friendship and love come be- nevolence and that compassion which unites the soul to the unfortunate. The innocencé and purity of child- hood brings bitter heart-pangs to the sin-hardened man and worldly wo- man. If the loved ones would come back to earth only long enough to be for- given, it would relieve many a re- morseful heart. The object of all ambition should be to be happy at home. If we are not happy there, we cannot be hap- py elsewhere. ae The silver bill now before the House, a part of which has passed, is a Democratic measure and of some importance to the country.

A young gentleman, a god son of Dr. Johnson, called to sce him a very short time before his death. In the course of the conversation the doctor asked him what books he read. The young man replied, “The books, sir, which you gave me.” Dr. Jolinson summoning up all ofhis strengtlf, and with a piercing eye fixed upon tke youth, exclaimed, “Read the Bible; all the books that are worth reading have their foundation and their mer- its there.” : Shertly before he died, Patrick Henry, laying his hand on the Bible, said: “Here isa book worth more than all others; yet it is my sad mis- fortune never to have read it, until lately, with proper attention.” When the shadows of death were gathering around Sir Walter Scott, he said to the watier, “Bring the Book.” “What book 2” a:k d Lock- hart, his son-in-law. “There is but one Book,” said the dying man.

Daring his first visit to Paris, M. La- salle, a distinguished German, presented himself at the house of a well known la- dy, to whom he had sent letters of intro- duction in advance. When the servant | opened the door and received his card she conducted him to the boudoir, and told hin to be seated: ‘‘Madawe will come im- mediately.” Presently the lady entered. Shewasinu dishabille and her feet were bare, cover- ed only with loose slippers. She bowed to him carelessly and said; ‘Ah, there She threw herself on a sofa, let fall a slipper and reached out to Lasalle her very pretty foot. Lasalle was naturally completely as- tounded, bnt he remembered that at his home in Germany it was the custom sometimes to kiss a Jady’s hand, and he supposed it was the Paris mode to kiss- her foot. Therefore he did not hesitate to imprint a kiss upon the fascinating foot su pear him, but he could not avoid saying: “I thank you, madanne, for this new method of making a lady’s acquain- tance. Itis much better and certainly niore generous than kissing the hand.” The lady jumped up, highly indig- nant, “Who are yon, sir,and what do you mean 7” He gave his name. “You are no‘, then, a corn doctor?” “Tam charmed to say, madame, that I am not.” “But you sent me the corn Dector’s card.” It was true. Lasalle in going ont that morning had picked up the eard of a corn doctor from his bureau and put it in his pocket. This without glancing at he had given to the servant, who had taken itto her mistress. There was nothing to do but laugh over the joke. ——--—_ ++ —.. Application of Ashes. Ashes are so valuable a fertilizer for most all svils, especially for light, dry aud sandy soils, that they ean. hardly be applied amiss, put on at almost any sea- son and in almost any mauner. Ther are highly valuable as a tep dressing for grass lands, for small fruits, for Indian corp, applied alone; and likewise form a most important ingredient in the compost heap. Twenty bushels of leached ashes. and ten of unleached per acre form a good dressing for grass lauds. Experiments at the Maine State College farm show that ashes were more lasting in their effects on grass, than any othr fertilizer applied. The sotl was a strong clay loam. We have been general rather than definit iu speaking of the qnantity of asbes to be used per acre. Before having been leach- ed, wood ashes contain about efght and one half per cent of potash, but the leach- ing takes out nearly all the potash, pos- sibly one of one and a half per cent may be left, and some other soluble matters. It is true that a few soils may be charged with potash that crops growing on them will not be markedly increased by an application of ashes of the quantity above specified, but as also stated must soils will be grateful fur their presence.— Planter. 80 ——~+->- Cruelty to Human Beings.

Mr. Jo Beckley had an exceeding- ' ly rural air, Large and brawny and grizzled, his brown face covered with | scrubby beard, his joints all clumsily developed, he looked like a back- woodsman. Being a bachelor, also, his toilet lacked that adjustment which a wifely touch or suggestion imparts, and intensified his rural air. But that Mr, Beelkley possessed in- telligence was’ provén by his wide- awake air, and by the fact that‘ he had brought no baggage to Europe, except the little satchel now depend- ing by a strap from his shoalder.

What part are you from?’ ‘Near Springfield, Massachusetts.’ ‘Ah, yes; my brother has been there. Stopping in town with your family, sir?” ‘With ny family? replied Mr. Jo Beckley, a sly twinkle ereeping into his eyes. ‘Yes. My wife and the twins are staying at the Merry-Go Inn.’ ‘Ah? Well, sir, if you see my brother when you get back, please give him my love.’ And the seedy manin grey walked away. Mr. Beckley Jooked after him in some surprise, then turned and went On. : Half a block beyond a voice hail- ed him. ‘Cab, sir.’ ‘No, Vl walk,’ replied Mr. Beck- ley. The cabman dashed on, and just as Mr. Beckley turned back his head against him. It was a tall spare man, in clerical garb and nectie, witha sanctimonious air, ‘Pray excuse me,’ he’ exclaimed. ‘What! is this Mr. Beckley ? It cer- tainly is? How do you do sir? How do you do?” And the spare man shook hands cordially with him. ‘Really, you have the better of me,’ said Mr. Jo Beckley: perplexed. ‘I don’t recollect your name.’ ‘Cowper, sir, Cowper! We met in Massachusetts some months ago you remember,’ ‘Oh, did we? Where was it ?—at the Horticultural meeting? inquired Mr. Beckley. He could have sworn he never met the man before. ‘Yes, that was the time. How is Mrs. Beckley, sir? and how are the twins getting on? I sheuld like to see them all, Are they bere in Lon- don? A light broke over Mr. Beckley’s face. All uncertainty vanished. ‘They are with me, Cowper, at the Merry-Go Inn,’ he said. ‘Ah, glad to hear it. You are going that way ?

I’d like to step in and see if it is good for anything. Here we are now; just drop in with me, Mr. Beckley.’ ‘No, thank you,’ said Mr. Jo Beck- ley. ‘Oh, yes; just a minute; then I will go with you.’ ‘Very well.’ ‘It’s up stairs, I see. Come on, sir.’ Mr. Ju Beckley followed him up three flights of stairs to a little front office, where a clerk stood busily writing at bis desk, behind a long counter. ‘Good morniug. Is this the office of the Rio Janeiry Lottery ?’ ‘It is, sir.’ ‘I have a ticket, numbered 22,222. Please see if it has drawn anything.’ The clerk looked on his books. ‘It has drawn £75, 2 shillings;’ and he went back to his safe. ‘Do you hear that, Mr. Beckley ? Do you hear that? Look, sir! I only. allowed my custemer 3 shillings for the ticket.’ The clerk came back with 75 pounds inclean Bank of England notes, and paid them over the coun- ter. ‘Where are the 2 shillings ?’ ‘We never give small change, sir. Will give you two draws instead.’ ‘Oh, all right. Here, make it four draws, Here are 2 shillings more.’ ‘A shilling a draw is cheaper than we usually allow, except for six draws at one time,’ said the clerk. ‘Won’t your-friend take a hand ? ‘Mry Beckley, try a couple.’ ‘No,’ said Jo ‘I guess not.’ — ‘I'll give you four, then, at the six rate, this time,’ said the clerk, and he took the money. A drum-like box was produced. Mr. Cowper put in his hand and drew out’ four iavelopes, each con- taining one ticket. He opened them and called off the numbers., Three drew nothing: the fourth drew £4, 1 shilling. ‘This is splendid luck, Beckley,’ whispered Cowper. ‘Don’t you want to try it? ‘I guess not,’ said Mr. Jo Beck- ley. ‘Gentlemen,’ said the clerk, confi- dentially. ‘I saw a remarkable sight here this morning. A man came in and gaven hundred pounds, and drew a bushel of envelopes. Will you believe me—there were’ only two prizes among ’em! Well, gentlemen after he went away, I found that the Queen sent him here to try for her. I was sorry that she had such a poor pull, but Icould not help it; we must be impartial, and let luck go where it will, All the rayel family patronize us and most always have good luck, And I never knew such a quantity of blanks drawn out without a heavy run of prizes right afterward.’ ; ‘You are right about that! ex- claimed Mr. Cowper, with entha- siasin. ‘Beckley, we can make a for- tune here. Suppose we put in £5 apiece on trial ?’ ‘No,’ said Mr. Jo Beckley, ‘I guess not.’ _ ‘I will, any how,’ said Mr. Cowper. He paid the money and drew twenty- eight, six pence. ‘Luck is against me,’ said the clerk mournfully. ‘There is going to bea run of prizes now, sure.” ‘Do you see that ? Do you see that, Beckley? I tcll you we ean make a fortune! Try a five-pounder !’ # ‘No,’ said Mr. Ja Beckley, ‘I guess! He I TS Fou, Ce lings for me ; if it you back,’ , ‘Bat if it don’t ? Better try for yourself; sir’ said the clerk, affably. * ‘No,’ said Jo, ‘I guess. not.” Mr. Cowper looked at. him doubt- fallyig. °° ‘Well, I'l try for “ youjen® those terms,’ he said at last. He tried and drew £10.. Mr. Jo Beckly took it }gtavely,.and handed out 2 shillings. “Very“much obliged,’ said he. “You're welcome,’ replied Cowper. ‘Now let us try five pounds together.’ ‘What did you say your name asked Mr. Jo Beckley. ‘Cowper.’ ‘Cowper! Cowper! Cowper! I thought you said Cooper. I guess it wasn’t me you met in Springfield !’ ‘Oh, yes, it was.’ ‘It must have been my son James,’ ‘No, it was you.’ . ‘Or my son Jedediah, or Ephraim, or Samuel.’ ‘No, it was you.’ ‘Well, then, if it was me—good-bye Cowper.’ , The men stared. ‘What, sir! Surely you will try your luck again,’ said the clerk. ‘This is not fair!’ exclaimed Mr. Cowper. ‘By no meaus! Yort must try, sir,’ exclaimed the clerk. Mr. Jo Beckley retreated toward the door. They followed him fiercely, the clerk with clubin hand. Mr. Beckley looked at them, then out of an adjacent window. Upon the level the London fog was dense, but looked through from the house tops was quite penetrable. A policeman stood below, on the oppo- site side of thestreet. Jo Betkley suddenly tlrzw up the broad win- dow. ‘Do you see him? heasked, point toward the officer. ‘I must leave you. Pray, don’t object, or I shall fave to call him. Good day, Cowper.’ They glanced out into the street, looked at Jo Beck1@’s brawney, mus- cular form, and kept quiet, althongh livid with rage, as he stepped out. In the hall Mr. Jo Beckley looked at the £10 note. To his surprise, it was genuine. . He came back and opened the door. The two men stood confronting each other, disputing angrily. ‘Ah, Cowper, if you visit America again, come and see me. We'll go coon-hunting. You'll enjoy coon- hunting, 1 know. The coon is an in- nocent-looking animal, but mighty sly ? He went down stairs, hailed a cab, and was whirled away to the depot, with a shrewd smileon his Yankee face. ee OO he is The Candy Business. The amount of eandy manufactured in this country is far greater than is usually thonght, the Americans—the women mainly-. eating more, it is said, than all the rest of the world combined. New York has, until reccutly, made fost of the candy; but now Boston is alarge man- ufacturer. Within a few years, many small houses, mostly French, have sprang up here, and reduced the price materially. Boston has three Jarge manufactories, employing some 300 workmen, and pro- ducing over 4,000 tons of candy annually. Not more than ‘one-fourth of this is con- sumed-in- New England, the remainder going chiefly tothe provinces of the West. Boston makes, altegether, more than 5,000 ions, using something over 25,000 barrels of sngar for ‘the purpose. This city, it is estimated, makes about 6,500 to 7,000 tons, which gocs to all parts of the Union, a good deal of it being, it is said, exported to the West Indies, South America, and even to Europe. It has been supposed that French candies were the best, bat we now make candy regard- ed as superior to those. Outside of Bos- ton and New York, not much candy is taade, though the Philadelphia make has eonsiderable reputation. We are not, perhaps, as a people, so fond of aweet things as the Latin nations, but we have so much more money to spend that we buy far more than they can. The com- mon people iu Europe eat very little eon- fections, but everybody here eats a good deal. Our children’s tendency to indi- gestion has been traced to the eating of sweets, but this is probably not correct. We eat more candy than ever, but the national health is steadily improting.— N. ¥.

' It is not often that American achicve- ments in thia direction receive due credit fram such a source. THE POLITICAL SITPATION. The Louisville Courier-Journal pregents } fou the political situation as follows: s#fhe Democratic party {nsieta that ce¥- tain laws which it tinds mpon the statute books guglit ts We Hitored: _It removes them by act of Congressy aud stds thest acts to the President for his approva). They fail to meet it, and are returned with his objections. The Democrats lack the two-thirds majority necessary to set aside the veto of the President, and con- sequently have frothing left them but an appen) to the country. Thus far all pars ties are Within the terms of the constita- tion, and the issue is aqnarely joined. Each party, having made its record, rests npon the jnggice of its cause, and gies to the penple fer its vindication. “The position of the Dentorratic party is wholly anomualeos. In spite ef mach misleading and. many blunders, it has steadily move mp to.a majority in the two houses of Congress, because, in the first place, the scheme of recoustraction seaght to be carried by the Republicans was un- tenadle; and, second, because theearrap- tions and excesses of the two Grant ad- ministiations made the North indifferent to the break up of the Radical fabric in the South. There is no doubt that the policy of forbearance after the election of the Demdcratic presidential ticket in 1876 greatly strengthened the hold upon the contidence of the country whieh better guiding had secured for the party under the leadership of Mr. Tilden; and it may ve safely declared that, if the Democrats bad qnietly settled down upon jthe issue raised by the Republicans in the electora) tribunal, resolving to seat the individuals fraudulently excluded by the action of that tribunal from the offices to which they had been chosen, the political spec- tacle now presented would be exactly reversed. “Extremism in the long ran rarely pays anywhere. But with a people such as ours, it can only maintain itself by fits and starts. The power and prestige of the Republican party, coming out ofa gigantic military struggle entirely victo- rious, were able to maintain the extremes of a popular leader like Thaddeus Stevens but a single decade. It is not conceiva- ble that an immitation of this by the Democrats, handicapped as they are, eould by any possibility succeed. Its on- ly effect is to consolidate the North; and the sooner the counsels of Senator Bay- ard, who has shown himself most saga- cious and most courageous among Demo- cratic leaders, are followed, and followed obediently, the better for the party. “On each of the issues upon which our appeal from the President's vetoes may be taken, we have the Republicans at a disadvantage. Itis ouly when we imi- tate the domineering spirit of the Repab- licans themselves that we are placed ata disadvantage. This we can not afford, and, therefore, as soon as we have ex- hansted our constitutional prerogatives, we should pass the appropriation bills and go to the country. Safety lies no- All oth@ routes lead into a diteh, which has been dug for us by the enemy and which is yawning just in front of the unwary. “The violence of the Republicans has been artfully coutrived to excite us to violence. and it has been too successful. We feel it in ourselves and we see it in others; and itis time to pnt a stopper upon the steam whistle. The dog days are npon ug and we must act, not talk. Those who wish to shine as performers on the calliope should be sent summarily below. The republicans are canght in the trap they set for us and we ought to draw the string and get away with our game. The President las pnt the boot on the right leg, and we should force him to Wear it.” a HAMPTON AND BAYARD. where else. They Speak to the Pending Issues. A Sharp Colloquy in the Senate—The Status of the Amended Army Bill, WASHINGTON, JUNE 5.—SENATE.—The Senate, yeas 28, nays 19, took up the bill reported yesterday by Bayard from the judiciary conmittee relating to juries and to repeal sections 801, 820 and 821 of the Revised Statues. Hampton, of South Carolina, after briefly supporting this bill, proceeded to speak upon the general political issues of the session. Hampton said he could not claim to speak as a leader of his party, nor would he try to shield himself from the consequences of his action behind any party. If the pol- icy supported by him was revolutionary and treasonable, he was a revoiutionist and a traitor; bat what policy is before Con gress worthy of such charge? Continuing, Hampton said: “By no vote of mine will the appropriations necessary for the efficient maintenance of the army be refused. It is competent for Congress to declare under what limitations or conditions the appro- priations shall hemade. The form in which -his is done | regard immaterial. In my Judgment it would have been best to ad- here to the general form, but to secure un- animity, I shall acquiesce in the decisions of the-majority. But in no event can I eon- sent to aid in disbanding the army or in pairing its efficiency. Jt is the army of the South as well as of the North—it is the army of the whole country. In its history from the cays of the revolution, I have rea- son, by right of my birth and blood, to be proud. In the late civil contest, on many bloody fields, I tested its valor, and no word-or act of inine shall depreciate its val- ue Or lessen its usefulness; but because I so regard it, no act of mine shall tend to de- grade it. I will not so legislate that against its own honorable instincts and traditions it shall be the instrument of tyranny in the hands of any tactious party or any unscru- pulous executive who may desire to use it; nor shall I assent, because of any differences of opinion between the minority and the Majority, to close the courts of justice or embarrass the life of the government. The constitution has prescribed the means by which an appeal to the country can be had and it is tor the people to decide whether the presidential veto has been wisely used to defeat the will of Congress, which repre- sents the majority of the people.” Hampton proceeded to say that he had no intention to embarrass the administra- | tion, and although he considered the prc- have been the President, by a cor- scientious construgtion of his duty, removed the United: States troops from Louisiana and South Carolina, thie enabling the peo- ee to restdttt leeal- governments to 1ose who rép the. } pithy triotic Se ful, and while Si-wutld bettis duty to op- pose the policy-of which tite Preaitient waa the %.. tha oppositity should not be captious, ner such as to rive the President into a coalition with those whe would inadly trampleon the rights of the: peeple in their struggle to retain power. Mr. Hampton said his party was denounced: for wishing to restrict the Federal use oft troops, but men high in the Republican. party, whose words he quoted, had alan pointed out and denounced the danger and. abuses of such use. It was not the imme- diate action of the army that he feared, bat the ultimate. effects of ita misuse, and he would oppose any legislation giving the general government power to interfere in any way with elections, It was: better to have turbulance in one er twa great cities than military despotism im the whele country. , It has beep complained that Confederate officers were sent here as legislators. Nearty every man in the Soutdy bere. arms, and: she could hardly be blamed-for trasting her in- terests in peace to those. who tisked their lives and fortunes for herin war. Hethought if the North had honored in like manner those who fought her battles, the legislation of the country would not be emsbittered by revivals of sectional strife. Uf the North was sincere in inviting the Southern States to return to the Union, she should be glad they sent their best. most honored men to represent them. The South had no apology to make forthe past. To recall that past now is not in the interest of that harmony for which the whole country longs. The South asks to have stricken from the statute books the laws which are the product of distrust as much as were the armies and na- vies.” “If you asked us to come back as States, treat us as States, and join hands with us to establish national liberty as un- derstood by our fathers.” Hampton’s address aroused frequent ap- plause in the galleries. Bayard then tpoke at length in support of the bill. He condemned the action of the President in criticising as he had done in the veto message methods and practices of Congress, and said it was not incumbent upon the President to interest himsel!’ in parliamentary reform. He then referred to the Federal jury laws, explained their work- ing and pointed out the absurdity of allow- ing ex-Confederates to hold ‘the highest offices under the government and at the same time excluding them from the jury box. The present bill, he said, was framed to secure perfect impartiality in the forma- tion of juries to try political cases where such impartiality is of the greatest impor- tance. He said the veto power was given the President to prevent the passage of bad bills, through inadvertence or design, Such was not the case with the present bills.— They represent the sober second thought of the Ameriéan people, and the people will finally be called to pass judgment upon the isaue now raised. In the meantime the first duty of the majority is to supply everything needed for the support of the government; but our duty is not to be taught us by a harrassing, obstructive Executive. It is an obligation resting on us by virtue of our oaths. Bayard then said the effort to misrepre- sent the Democratic party by asserting that it intended to cripp!e the government, would be futile. He would not belong to a party adopting such a course, but, he asked, shall it be said that a man accidentally and wrongfully vested with enormous powers, which have accumulated around the execu- tive office, succeed in placing this great par- ty, witb all its patriotic objects and intents, in a position of suspicion and doubt before their fellow countrymen? It will require two to make thatissue. It would be a false, dishonest and untruthful attempt to slander his neighbors. The government shall be supplied with everything needful for a vig- orous and just exercise of every constitution- al power, but no obstructive executive, no unfair political opponent shall prevent the truce or raise false issues between us and our country. Mr. Edmunds then moved to amend the pending bill by the addition of a clause prohibiting the exclusion from jury service in any state or Federal court of any duly qualitied person on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. This led to a half-humorous colloquy between Hill, of Georgia, and Conkling, and a short speech by the latter. Tharman remarked that.the gentleman [Conkling] had perbaps read of the cele- brated English statesman who enid he had acquired eloquence by speaking every day and on every snbject for the first years of his career, and was imitating the latter’s example. After the debate the amendment was rejected. Several other smendments were proposed and discussed in a desaltiry manner, and the Senate adjourned with- out action on the bill. Howuse.—More than an hour was con- sumed this morning in the consideration of bills reported from the committee on printing. A bill for the election of a con- gressional printer was reported but not admitted, the point of order being raised against it that it was not such « bill as the committee was providing to report at any time. , . Atkius reported the legislative, execu- tive and judicial appropriation bill, and moved that the bill be printed and recom- mitted. Hawley offered an amendment to the Wotion instructing the committee on ap- propriatious to report the bill substan- tially in the form of the legislative appro- priation bill last agreed to, excluding therefrom all general, political legislation and appropriations for judicial expenses. Atkins thereupon withdrew the bill. ‘The House then resumed the business of the morning hour. Daring the morning hour the bill to remove causes from state to Federat courts was discussed. On the expiration of the morning hour the President’s message transmitting the documents in the Fitz. Jno. Porter case were laid before the House, and referred to the committee on military affairs. Atkins then reported the legislative, executive and judicial bill and maved the previons question. ‘The bill was order- ed printed and recommitted. The bill re- sembles that for the present year with some exceptions which are specified. The bill to prevent the spread of con- tagious diseases among domestic animals was then taken up and discussed. No action was reached when the House ad- journed at 40’clock.

The signs of approval were very marked when he spoke of the great pleasure it would give him if the senatorial chairs from the North were tilled by Union generals, and that such was not the case must be laid at the dvor of the North and not the Sonth. He was very emphat- ic in declaring that he any circumstances vote to withhold ‘snp- plies from the army.

The Failure of Lonpon, June 7.—The Statist, referring to the failare of David Stuart & Co., of Liverpool, says: “Hopes are entértainec that the tirm of Manchester bankers which Was thought to be involved in. the Liver- pool failure, will be able to escape sus- peusion, its largest creditor having ar- ranged to take up his ills and assistance from banks being therefore expected ; but the gradual liquidation of the banking firm can hardly be avoided. The cause of the difficulties is a lock-up of capital. It is not probable that even iv the worst event the matter will have important cousaquences in London, but in Manches- ter other failures are expected to follow, aud it is said that poor Irish emigrants who are in the habit of sending mouey to their friends at home will be heavy suf- ferers by the Liverpool failure.” ~~ —____ y Politicians at Washington are reported to be getting uneasy about the great strikes of the iron workers, which are assuming alarming proportions. At Pittsburg and Alleghany City, Pa., becween thirty-five and torty thousand meu have been thrown out of employment. This means a waste of at least $100,000 a day by the strikers, and about as much wore, merely in in- terest on capital invested, by tie propri- etors. The actual capital that will be idle if the strike Jasts is estimated by business men to be $25,000,000 in Alle- ghany county alone. At Youngstown, Ohio, $3.500,000 capital and 2,500 men will be idle; at Sharon, Pa., 2,500,000 and about-1,000 men idle; at Neweastie, Pa., $1,500,000 and about 600 men will be wuactive, —_-_ +> KIDNavping CompREN IN Parts.—In Paris people lament over the numerous disappearances of infants, and this is a Wystery upon which no Jight ean be thrown, It is certain that about. six months ago the police arrested a woman Kupwn as the “Ogresse des Lilas,” who is supposed to have stolen several children and to have made away wish them in some mysterious manner, The “Ogresse” is still in prison; she is a highly educated woman, who has moved in tirst-class s0- ciety, bat what her real name is the police have been unable to discover. ‘Toward the close of the reign of Louis XV. there was a tepart spread that a number of children had disappeared; and serious riots ensned when it was asserted that they had been kidnapped for his Majesty, who had been ofdered to bathe in the bl od of © ildren,. ~~ > There is arow in the Pennsylvania Legislature. The Pittsburg Riot Bill has raised the rumpus. Two Pittsbarg Legislators did uot offer two of their brother representatives as much for their votes as the owners thought them worth, and the owners of the votes told ou the would-be cheap buyers. Resolutions to expel followed, the lie was freely given jand taken, and the resolutions failed, all the men who had got their price for voting for the bill voting against expul- sion, All hands then apanimiously agreed to institute proceedings against the lobby, thatis to say to rob the lob- byists of what they have left or to send them to jail if their pockets are empty.—-Iateigh Observer, <> Those Mysterious Lretrers.—The Charleston News and Courier copies pro- minently the local article in last Satur- day's Observer, which told of several mys- terious letters which had been received by a negro in the southeastern part ot this county. telling flim that it was time for the burning of houes and railroad bridges to begin, and comments upon it as follows: ‘‘[t is difficult to state where these letters came from. It may be men- tioned, however, that there have beeu rumors prevalent iu mauy parts of the State to the effect that the defunet Radi- cal party was reorganizing, and that this may be one of their plans for ‘reorgartiz- ing.’ The correspondents of the News and Courier at the iuterior towns will investi- gate the matter and report the resalt.”— Charlotte Oserrer. ae Comments ON THE RecENT Rise Is Corron.—London, June 9.—The Times’ financial article says: “The recent. rise in cotton at Liverpool is described, donbt- Jess accurately, by a correspondent as a (sod-send for that long-suffering centre of commercial inactivity. But for this re- lief, we are told, there niust have been acrash, avd so itis urged that nothing more opportune has happened in eom- mercial affairs for along time. There is do doubt that the rise was transient and unreal, so far as the merits of the staple are concerned, bat it has enabled banks and speeulaters to escape temporarily and in part from a perilous position, and has therefore, averted a collapse that otherwise seemed inevitable.” a We were shown a fish caught by Mr. Sneeden, on the Sound, of a kind unknown tu the fishermen hereabout. It was shown to a naturalist who gave the following in- foromtion: This fish is known as the trichiurus of Cavier, the common name of which is scabbard-tish or blade fish. Itis thirty inches loug by one and a quarter wide, very thin, with bright slimy skin, and without scales, and a fine hair-like tail. Viewed sideways these fish appear as beautiful silver ribbons.

Few men have so quickly attracted the national attention as Senator Vance. In fact, before he arose at all on the fluor of the Senate, the news got abroad that the staid dignity of the senatorial fathers was to Ye relieved, and the preas entered into serious discussions about the value of fan in pational polities. But the wires were made merry even with the condensed and blurred transmission of his jokes in bis first speech the otherday. Itseems prob- able that the whole nation is willing to give its attention to Mr. Vance, as his own constituency have done for many years. At home he is the most popular man that his State ever produced. He will sgou joke his way into a national reputation. Fortunately, too, he has not merely wit but wisdom also. —_——~- With the beginuing of the present ses- sion the Democrats in both houses took their stand in opposition to the odious Federal election laws, the use of the army at the polls, and the continuance in practice of the infamous juror’s test oath. From this position they have never wa- vered. Owing to the revolutionary pro- ceedings of the fraudulent President, the repeal of the laws which permitted these outrages, pure and simple, has been ren- dered impracticable and impossible. It is now proposed that by the withholding of the nonetary supplies which are neces- sary to carry them into effect, and make them of use to the Republican conspira- tors, they shall be rendered of no avail. This Congre& has the right to do. This it is Congress’ patriotic duty to do, and this Congress intends tudo.

A SENTENCED MURDERER ATTEMPTS Sutcipe.—Philadelphia, June 9 —KEd- ward Parr was sentenced to death at noon to-day for the murder of his daugh- ter, Mrs. Susan Irwiu. As the prisoner was leaving the dock after, sentence had been pronounced upon him, Ire fell faint- ing tothe floor and at the same timea vial dropped from his hand. It was then ascertained that he had taken a dose of strychuine. He is still alive but his re- covery is doabtful. EE The recent colored convention at Rich- mond, Va., decided that the race issne should be the absorbing one, so far as they are concerned in that state. It was de- clared that the State should be organized on the race issue, and that, to aid in its triumph, the colored people must form into secret organizations. That was the plau adopted by the colored people of the South during what is known as the re- construction period. The result of that scheme shonld deter the colored people from attempting avother of like kind.— Char.

In brief, fish dves not contain an excess of phosphorns, and when dead fish “shine as bright as the stars at night” itis positively not owing to the presence of phosphorus, but to oxi- dation of carbon.” <> On the grassfields near Norfolk the army worm has entered and commenced depredations in earnest.

The Mineral Wealth—Customs of the In- haubitants—Farming and Live Stock —A General Review. {Correspondence of the Raleigh News.) NaGAsakI, Japan, May 5, 1879.—Believ- ing that the readers of your valuable paper will take some interest in the development and present condition of Japan, I jot down for you as succinctly as I can my impress- ions of this people. There are at least two directly opposite ways of looking at the habits and customs of a foreign people. Ifa person goes abroad with the belief that his own nation is per- fect, or at least the very best in every re- spect of any nation on earth, he will find very little to approve in the customs of for- eigners ; but, on the other hand, if he leaves home just a little soured from any cause, it would not be strange if he found very much to admire. Almost every nation must pos- sess both merits and faults peculiar in a certain degree to itself, and that traveler is most wise who can see merits wherever they exist and who is not afraid to criticise wherever criticism is needed. IT IS BUT A SHORT TIME since American readers have had a chance to Know comparatively anything concerning the inhabitants of Japan, and even now the letters of tourists sent tween, ly four thousand islands, some half dozen tance. gland. Niphon, the largest island, favorable to both animal and vegetable life vround is once covered, there is no rain ice, nor snow crust to interfere with travel great, coal especially being very abundant while petroleum is found in limited quanti ty. The people are both PATRIOTIC AND COURAGEOUS, and much better farmers than their ances tors of a few centuries ago. in their tastes for personal adornment. to our newspapers from that country are very few and far be- The empire of Japan, now our next door neighbor at the west, consists of near- only of which are of comparative impor- The whole area of the empire equals something near 170,000 square miles, or three and a half times as large as New En- is about 900 miles lens, and in some _ por- tions, 240 miles wide and extends through more than ten degrees of latitude, from 29° to 41°, thus giving the country a climate At Sapporo, the seat of the new agricultural college, the snow sometimes falls to the depth of two feet in winter, but when the The mineral wealth of the empire is very They have many peculiarities as a people, particularly In- dia ink is used very freely by everybody for marking the skin, the finest silk goods being imitated in the naked skin, so that if a butter, or cheese. has been hardly known till the Japanese Embassy visited the Uni- ted States a few years since. Government officials seem to be very humble and econo- mical in their habits. The taxes are fixed for six years in ad- vance, so that the people can know just how much money they will have to raise, | and the government expenditures are kept rigidly within the appropriations. The highest rulers, disdain extravagance in dress or personal ornamentation, claiming truly that in these there is no dignity. Govern- ment taxes are now levied at the rate oftwo and one-half per cent.; while formerly they have, at times, been as high as from fifty to seventy per cent. Honesty is one of the commonest virtues, no bolts or locks being used upon any of the dwelling houses. The dwellings are built of bamboo, and | are very simple and cheap structures. The furnishing is also very cheap, there being few, if any, chairs known in the country.— ’Tables are raised but a few itches above the floor, and the people sit upon their heels while at dinner. Nearly all the women | carry a small block of wood with a soft side for a pillow, and everybody takes t A NAP IN THE DAY TIME, Food is poked into the mouth with sinall sticks from little hand basins, A first ratc house can be built for $30, and furniture costs nothing. Shves are worn on the street, but are always left outside when entering a dwelling. Bread and meat are rarely caten, boiled rice being the standard dish, and on this food the people are very tough and hardy. Men draw carriages in place of horses, and make a very handy team, as they can attend to the getting of their own din- ner at the end of the route. It saves har- nessing and grooming. Two men can be hired to carry a traveler forty miles a day, for a cent a mile, and board themselves. — This is a very cheap fare for a “pullman” car. Many things are eaten in Japan which we would hardly relish. The root of the common burlock is a common article of food, as are, also, the bulbs of the tiger lily. Fruits are eaten green, peaches, pears, and apricots being in their prime when nearly grown, but while so they are as sour, hard, and unpalatable to an Englishman as a green walnut. Melons are also caten green, us we eat cucumbers, The Japan orange, is the best fruit I bave ever seen im any country. Tea is used by all classes, but theré is a great difference in the value of different grades. A few choice leaves scll at home as high as eight dollars per pound. Of course the quantity produced is very small. Alcoholic liquors are indulged in to some extent, but drunkenness is almost un- known, especially in public. Noisy carous- als are among the things unheard of in Ja- pan; everybody being polite and courteous asarule. Smoking isa universal custom, but the amount of tobacco used is very small, a pipe full making only three whiffs, and three pipes full being a regulation “smoke.” Everybody smokes at a certain hour, when the factories stop and all work >| ceases. AT THE NINTH WHIFF work begins again, and they mean bnsiness when they do work. No shirking or cheat- ing, but the men run as though life depen- ded upon getting a certain amount of work done in a yiven time. All hands sleep at noon just where noon findsthem. Children are brought up in a way that Americans would call queer. They are often tied to- gether, a small one to the back of a larger one, who goes right on with its play or its sleeping, as though entirely independent of a charge, and the little one accepting the situation as a matter of course. ’ milk as food, either in the form of milk, much hand : it is also very thorough, and constant crop- just when it will do the -most good. A person is clean, he always has a clean dress, and one, two, which never wears out. In mechanical work, the Japanese are particularly handy, their paper being the very best in the world, while their lacquer- ed work is admired everywhere. It is sup- posed that at the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia, the Japanese exhibitors sold | fancy and useful articles to the amount of nearly twenty million of francs. The Ja- pancse sword is of superior excellence, and is frequently more costly than one’s real estate. There are two kinds of swords car- ried almost constantly by the better classes; the smaller for ordinary protection, the lar- yer heavy enough to cut a man in two, from shoulder to hip, with a single blow. The wearing of swords is, however, becoming less fashionable since the government has taken measures to prevent it. Until within afew years, EVERY BOY AT SCHOOL, as soon as he arrives at a certain age, was allowed.to wear a small sword, and when arriving at maturity, was entitled to the long one, also. The men, however, have very little use for their weapons, because everybody minds his own business and thor- oughly respects the rights of others. Far- mers hold a high rank in society, even high- er than merchants. Great progress in edu- cating the youth has been made within the past few years, the American system of pub- lic schooling being adopted throughout the nation, the schools being free to both sexes. Animals have not been valued very high- ly in an agricultural point of view, sheep being neither consumed for food, nor their woul worn if clothing, but a great change is being wrought in this respect. Not long since, $25,000 worth of sheep, cattle, and horses were imported to Japan from Cali- fornia for one farm alone. Of coyrse, this is a government farm. The value of caws’ mcat : Rooms are heated by burning charcoal in open bowls in the center of the room, while the inmates lie on the floor with their heads toward the bowl of coals. Soap is but lit- le known, but the people bathe often and are really cleanly. Tney have had very lit- tle use for cattle or horses; a good pair of farm horses can be bought for $13. Bulls are sometimes used for carrying burdens, and cows are kept for rearing bulls, but beef eating and beef killing are almost un- known. Butchers are outlaws; and a tan- ner of hides is about the lowest being in the scale. Gen. Grant would hardly add to his honors were he to visit Japan in the capac- ity of an ex-tanner. Since the introduction of a few improved cows into the country, milk is becoming an article of food, but at a dollar a quart is, of course, used in a very limited quantity. A white horse is kept in some of the stables as a sacred animal, and a small coin and a single bean are deposited in front of it by each visitor, the horse getting the bean and the attendant the coin. Many things are done directly opposite from our own ways, a8 the horse is backed into his stall, the saw and plane are pulled instead of being pushed, as with us. The horse is SOD WITH STRAW SHOES, put on by a blacksmith who ss when he works. the paper only, and the work beyins on the last leaf, so that one reads backwards. The lines also run down the page instead of across it. Candles are hollow, and are made from poison sumac. The people never kiss, but show their deference and respect by stooping and touching the forehead to the ground or floor. Labor is very cheap, so that eggs are hatched by hand as cheap- ly as in the natural way. The land is kept entirely clear from weeds and all useless vegetation. Irriga- Books are printed on one side of labor is required. The tillage ping is carried on without deterioration of the soil. Night soil is saved with partich- lar care, and is applied to the growing crops famine is of rare occurrence, as all are in- dustrious, provident, and frugal. } being of paper, the inhabitants live outside much of the time, and much tase is shown in the cultivation of flowers near the home. Everybody appreciates beauty, and the most common flower, whether on public or private grounds, is never plucked by the traveler. The people, old or young, never steal flowers. Rice is the main crop, and is grown in wet land, into which leaves and rubbish are trodden for enriching it. The grain is grown for about a dollar per bushel. Tea growing is a great industry, and some of the tea plants are 150 years old, and some plantations produce over $38,000 worth per acre. Labor is very cheap, rang- ing from six cents per day fur women, to double that for men. The government is now doing much in the way of improving the agriculture of the country, by establishing the Agricultural College at an annual cost of $45,000. and that where money is many times more val- uable than with us. Seeds of trees are be- ing imported, and the plants grown are giv- en away to the people who will set them out and care for them. In short, Japan is doing with a will and a rush what some of the older nations are still refusing to do at all or very tardity. The smartest men among them have been sent abroad to find out what there is in the world better than their own, and with authority to purchase at the government’s expense. I will write you again from Yokohama and give some accounts of the religious observances of this country. 8. E. L. SaUEEEnnUU Umesh: captheen A Buncombite’s View of Nebraska. Mr. S. L. Frady, of this county, left here with his family on the 7th of October last, to try his fortune in Nebraska. He writes us from Pe- rn an account of his trip, and what he thinks of that country as compared to Western Carolina, and in conclusion says : “Arriving at Nebraska City on the 12th of October, we made arrange- ments for a team and went South six- teen mlies, stopping on Sunday with Jesse Powers, who left North Caroli- na about one year befure I did.

We traevled for fifteen days over different portions of the State, endeasoring to find a house to live in. When L found the great difficulty in obtaining shelter, I began to think about the false infor- mation which had induced me to leave my lovely Southern home to come to the wild plains of Nebraska. I had heard many flowery reports about the West ; I believed, I came, but I have as yet found but few of the reports to be true. Nebraska is a very unpleas- ant place to live in; the climate is very changeable. On the 30th of May the thermometer stood at 102° at 11 o’clock, and at 2 o’clock, it had fallen to 65°, there having been in the meantime the: hardest rain and hail storm I have ever seen. I could not see anything at a distance of 25 feet. “I should advise my friends of Western North Carolina not to come West, for they cannot know how hap- py is their present condition until they have left old Buncombe’s lovely valleys, and home and kindred, and become dissatified as I am to-day. My wife is having very bad health, and the health of the community is generally bad. My brether and cous- ins, J. L. and U. D. Murray, spent the winter in this place; but they furesaw the evil and made good their retreat to their mother State, where they met with a welcome home again. I hope soon to return to my old home, where kindred and friends are dear tome. I have been in eighteen dif- ferent States, and there is none in my estimation excelling in climate or country Western Carolina. THE HOUSE WINDOWS THE Posirve AND NEGATIVE Man.—Men may be divided into two classes—positive and negative. The The positive man never gets credit for what he is and does, He is frank, straightforward, and despises osten- tation. The world alawys sees the worst side of him. He sometimes speaks and acts rashly, to be sure, but, if convinced he is in error, will promptly and heartily confess it. He makes a good friend, and if an ene- my at all, he is an honorable one. How different the uegative man! He is—well, not exactly anything to your face, but he will sneak around behind your back and do things which ren- der him worthless as a friend and dis- honorable as an enemy. We had rather have a dozen “positive” enemies than one “negative” friend.—Ashe- A CHINESE DINNER. How a Hartford Lady Got Through with Twenty Courses. Hartford Courant, June 4th, A letter from a lady formerly tiv- ing here, who is now the wife of an American official in China, writes to her friends at home an account of a ceremoneous dinner which she attend- ed recently. The feast was given by the “deputy” and was attended by only seven persons, three American gentlemen, two American ladies, and two Chinese men, besides the host. Describing the deputy as a “lovely old man,” the letter says : He passed to me first a cup of hot wine with a graceful bow ; it was on- ly after that that one could sit down. He made the. tour of the table and gave each guest his wine, accompani- ed by the chin-chins (bow) from both partics. Before each guest were three plates about the size ofa little girl’s tea set plate—three inches in diame- ter. On these plates we ate all of our dinner except the soups, which were put before us in small bowls. Each one had his chop-sticks and a two- pronged silver fork. Ina few mo- ments, as Mrs. M. and 1 could not use them very well, we were given our own forks ahd knives. At each place was a big pile of melon and apricot seeds, and this pile was replenished constantly during the four hours’ we were at thetable, Between the courses everybody was cracking and eating away at the melon seeds. Thgy were not very good, of course, yet it was aniusing to nibble at them, and they came in hot from the oven, and.on the whole did not taste badly. On the table when we sat down were eight dishes of preserved fruit of dif- ferent kinds. ‘They were all on those small dishes, but put one on top of the other to make a kind of pyramid, and in a row along the center of the table were other dishes larger in size and hdlding the more substantial things. On one were slices of lobster and salted walnuts—very good, both of them, On another were goose giz- zards cut in thin slices. On another shrimp salid, and om another thin slices of These were all meant to give appetite for the dinner which followed. I sat next to the old deputy and he helped me from all the different dishes within his reach—on- chicken. ly a mouthful or so from each, though, When we had tried all these things the first course was brought on, and, aus I suppuse you imagine, it was “bird’s nest soup,” aud very good too. We have nothing like it at home. Af- ter that we had stewed chicken with young onion sprouts. The third course was cold mutton served with raw tur- pip cut in long, thin strips. Fourth, awfully good, was pigeon eggs in a kind of acid soup. Fifth, cucumbers stuffed with chopp- ed fish. Sixth, roast chicken served in very small bits with mushrooms. Seventh, sharks’ fins. Eighth, mutton dumplings. [After that there was a little rest, and we walked about the garden, go- ing tu work again after a half-hour. ] Ninth, pork soup. Tenth, stewed mussels. Eleventh, champignens and spinach nade together. Twelfth, ham in slices. Thirteenth, stewed pigeons and bean curd. Fourteenth, fish. Fifteenth, the muscles or fibers of flowers. Sixteenth, sea slugs (something aw- ful to look at, just like leaches wita pimples on them.) Seventeenth, mushrooms abd bam- boo sprouts made together. Fighteenth, cakes and bitter almond sauce. Nineteenth, an entire roast pig. [It was brought on and then taken away and carved for us. I thought the dinner at an end when we had the cakes, and was taken aback to see this animal make its appearance. They served first the crack or skin, It was a No. 1, and we began, each, to eat anew ; second, they served the lean meat; third, they served some fat, and then something else, al! four from the pig. | Twentieth, rice, with chicken soup, headache. 4°? ve nuts grown iu water what.

Sliding Down.a Waterfall Two Hun- dred Feet and Climbing a Moun- tain Two Thousand Feet. The Denver (Col.) Tribune tells the following .story of the Canon: Charles May and his brother Robert, in the spring of 1870, offered to pass 60,000 railroad ties down the Arkan- sas from the mountain source. He says: “Our offer was accevted, when we started into the upper entrance of the | canon with a_ large skiff, provided with six days’ provisions and 200 feet of rope, with which, by taking a ruyning turn around some firmly planted object, we could lower our bo.t a hundred feet at a time. In this way, at the end of three days, having set adrift’ many hundred ties, we reached the entrane tothe Royal Gorge. Here we discovered that an attempt to descend the first waterfal] with two in the boat was certain de- struction, and to return was impossi- ble. Accordingly, I determined to lower my brother down the fall in the boat, a distance of 200 feet, give him the rope, and let him take the chance of the canon (life seemed more certain in that direction), while I would risk my physical ability to climb the canon wall, which was about 2,000 feet high. About 10 o’clock in the morning I shook hands with my brother, lower- ed him in the boat safely to the foot of the fall, gave him the rope and saw him no more. Then throwing aside my coat, hat and boots, and stripping the socks from my feet, I commenced my climbing way, often reaching the height of one or two hundred feet, only to be compelled to return to try some other way. At length, about 4 o’clock in the after- noon, I reached a height upon the smooth canon wall of about a thou- sand feet. Here my further progress was arrested by a shelving ledge of rock that jutted out from the canon side a foot or more. To advance was without hope; to return, certain death. Reaching upward and out- ward, I grasped the arm of the ledge with one hand and then with the oth- er, my feet slipped from the smooth s.de of the canon, and my body hung suspended in the air a thousand feet above the roaring waters of the Arkansas. At that moment, I looked down- ward to measure the distance I would have to fall when the strength of my arms gave out. A stinging sensation crept through my hair, as my eye caught the strong root of a cedar bush that projected out over the ledge, a little beyond my reach. My grasp upon the rim of the ledge was fast yielding to the weight of my per- son. Then I determined to make my best effort to raise by body and throw it sideways toward the root, so as to bring it within my grasp. At the moment of commencing the effort, I saw my mother’s face as she Jeaned out over the ledge, reached down her hand and caught me by the hair. Stranger, my mother died while yet a young woman, when I and my broth- er were small boys, I remembered her face. I was successful in making the side leap of my arms, when I drew myself upon the ledge and rested for a time. From here upward oy climb- ing way was laborious, vut less dan- gerous. I reached the top of the can- on just as the sun was sinking down behind the snowy range, and hasten- ed to our camp atthe mouth of the canon, where I found my brother all safe. ‘Charley,’ said he, ‘have you had your head ina flour sack?

Raleigh Obseree. ae FataL Nxero Ficut.—Savaa- nah, Ga., June 9, 1879.—A terrible riot took place QJ afternoon at Mc- Intosh, Liberty county, a station on the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, be- tween a party of negro excursionista, — from Bryan county, and negores be- longing in McIntosh. The trouble began in a fight between two negores whereupon John Randall, the cap- tain of a negro militia company from Bryan county, which company form- ed a part of the excursion party, or- dered a charge. The company obey- ed the order, bayonetting everybody within reach, the captain himeelf killing one man by running lim through with his sword. There was intense excitement at this outrage, and the McIntosh negroes rallied and drove the military company into the cars, opened fire on them, killed four and wounded a large number of others and only stopped shootiag when the train was drawn out of range. They tried to prevent the train from leaving by tearing up the railroad track, but failed. All the parties engaged’ were negroes, eee te How the Bible Circulates.

Ta the last 19 years 7,223 divorces have been granted in Massachusetts, and the number is steadily inereasing. In Rhode Island and Connectient, according to late statistics, the divorces are one to every 1,200 of the inhabitants. This is certainly a bad exhibit for New England, The New Orleans Picayune says that two orthree Mormon missionaries, some say they are from Florida, have been at work in Southern Mississippi more than a year, principally in) Jackson county, preaching Mormonism and making prose- lytes. ‘They lave planted a Mormon chureh at Three Rivers and one at Blaff Creek, and one somewhere near Dog River. At Bluff Creek they baptized and received into the church thirteen in one day.

N. C. Railroad. Ou Monday a new schedule went into effect on this road, in’ order to connéct closely with the North Carolina Railréad at Salisbury, which will add greatly te the comfort of, the traveler as well us te the saving of time in the coming to and goiug from this point. On aonay the trains over the Western N. C. Railroad commenced leaving Swannatoa Tunnel (on the top of the mountain) at 6 p. m., stopping at Henry thirty miuates forsup- per, aud rauning through to Salisbury in the night, making counection with the train going east to Raleigh and Richmond, arriving iu Raleigh at 12.15 p. m., and in Richwond early in the afternoon. Re- turning, the train will leave Salisbury at night after the arrival of the train from Raleigh and Richmond (having left the former place at 3.20 p. m.), stop at Henry, thirty winutes for breaktast, arriving at Swannanoa Tunnel at 8a. m., and reach- ing Asheville to dinner, givinga day -ride over the stage route. ‘These trains will make close connection at Statesville both ways With the trains from Charlotte. The arrangement places us within twenty- four hours of Raleigh going east, and within 22 hours coming west, and as the trains make close connection at Geldsboro with the trains on the W.& W. Railroad, we are how in more direct communica- tion with the central and eastern portions of the State than ever before, and this ar- rangement will doubtless ad greatly to the travel in this direction this summer. Sleeping cars have been placed on the Western N.C. Road in order to aecom- modate the traveling public this summer. - Asheville Citizen.

Symptonis of a Diseased Liver. AIN in the right side, utider the edge of the ribs, increases on pres- sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extenu» to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. ‘The stomach is affected with loss of appe- tite and sickness; the bowels in gen- eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a duil, heavy sensation in the back part. ‘lhere is generally a considerable loss of mem- ory, fecompanied with a painfil sen- sation of having left undone seme- thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. ‘The patient complains of weariness and deiihty; he is easily startled, his fect are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa- tion of the, skin; his spicits are low; and although he ts satstied that excr- cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the Liver t have been extensively deranged.

NOTICES FOR POSTING People aro getting acquainted —and those who are lot ought to b-—with the wonderful merits of ; quirements of the law on the subject eve | tuat creat American Remedy, the Mustang Liniment, FOR MAN AND BEAST. | Mont This liniment very naturally originated in Ameri- ca, Where Nature provides in her laboratory such surprising antidotes for the inaladies of her chil dren. Its fame has been spreading for O55 years, until now ft encircles tie habitable globe. The Mefican Mustang Liniment is a matchless remedy forallextern:] ailments of man and beast. To stock owners and farmers it is invaluable. A single bottle oftcn saves a human life or re stores the usefulness of an excellent horse, ox cow, or rheen, It cures foot-rot, hoof-ail, hollow horn, grub. secrew-worm, ©uoulder-rot, mange, the bites and stings of poisonous reptiles and insects, and every such drawback to stock breeding and bush life. It curcs every external trouLtc of horses, such as lameness, scratches, swinny, sprains, founder, wind-gall, ring-bonc, ctc., ete.

We don’t know that we say them in ex- actly the same way, but our esteemed co- temporary, the Macon Jfessenger, says some things very well worth the saying in some way. Few things are so silly as quarreling ; nothing so silly as quarreling in the news- papers. Yet, as the Messenger says, “we frequently find in the newspapers flagrant attacks or diatribes against unoffending in- dividuals, usually emanating from third or fourth class editors of obscure prints, or weak and disgruntled persons, who hope thus to provoke controversy and thereby be dragged forth prominently befgre the pub- lic. But any journalist who respects him- | self and is conscious of seeking to do his | duty only, scorns to notice these little fice- like attacks, and besides, can spare neither time nor space to advertise such Lillipu- tian assailants. “The proper plan is to pursue the even tenor of your way without turning aside, either to the right or left, to notice these : petty flings, unless they assume the grave | proportions of personal calumny and false- hood, and can be traced to a respectable |source. Then, by all means. still keep out of print, and hold the party to summary and severe personal account for gratuitous and unmerited insults. “The best way to settle difficultics and put down slanders, is to mect their authors face to face and amically settle, if possible, any differences that may exist. What does the public care for the personal affairs and quarrels of an editor?

At the foot of these is Hawthorn pool, 45 feet deep, in which the poet- preacher was druwned a few years ago. A little below this tumbles off the falls of Tempesta, 81} feet. A little further on goes roaring, seething Hur- | rican, 913 feet. Then ina a steps comes the beautiful Oceana, 46 feet. Hard by is the Bridal Veil, 2 25 feet.

The object of the present bill, he says, is not to repeal the election laws, but te defeat their enforcement. Under existing lywws the failure of Congress to make the ap- propriations required for the exeontion of the provisions of the election lawa wauld not prevent their enforcement. The right and daty to appoint the general and ape- cial deputy marshals mnioh they provide for would still remain, and the executive second section of this bill coutains a pro- hibition not found in any previous legis- lation. Its design is to render the elee- tion lawsinoperative by omiting to appro- priate money for their enforcement, and by prohibiting any officer of the goveru- ment from incurring liabillty nuder title 26 thousand inhabitants or upwards. ‘The present bill neither revokes this popular right nor reheves the marshal of the duty imposed by the law nor the President of his duty to see that this law is fuithfally executed. He declines to discuss again the wisdom and necessity of election laws, or what he regards as the dangerous and unconstitu- tional principle of this bill; that the pow- means needed to carry on the essential functions of the government. His views ou these points were, he says, presented in previous messages, and he regards them conclusive as to his duty in respect to the bill.

NEW HOPE ACADEMY. _ This institation, which is located in Montgomery county, had commencement exercises on the Sth and 6th of June. It is under the direetion of Mr. Hamilton, a gentleman well qualified for the high and responsibile dgties of the. position. The pupils, as we learn from a correspondent who was present on the occasion alluded to, were subjected to a rigid examination on_the 5th and acquitted themselves with great credit and reflected honor upon their worthy preceptor. The ceremo- nies of the next day drew a very large crowd- they consisted of the usual com- memcement exercises. After an anthem by the school, the Rev. Mr. Boyles led in prayer which was happily suited to the time ‘and circumstances. Then fol- lowed speeches, compositions, recitations, | &c., all of which were pleasant to hear and seldom surpassed in the style of ren- dition. Mr. Crocker of Ashboro’ was then in- troduced aud delivered a very able and interesting address on the subject of edu- cation, and its importance to the young. he and abounded with passages which those who heard it will be apt to remember. is fun iv him, to ray noth | ehe evening for the benctit of the youths wisdom.

My informa. tion in regard to Southern matters on that particular poiut iswider than that of evi honorable Senator. from North Car- ohna. Mr. Vance. Does the Senator from Maine say he knows the book which he holds in his hand is used in the schools of North Carelina ? : Mr. Blaine. No; Ido not know that this particular book has yet been intro- duced ; but I know that at the very time the Sevator from North Carolina was giving me the assurance that he did not know abont it, there was a. very lively controversy going on in the town of Greenville, iu his own State, between ditferent members of the board of auper- visors of schools as to whe¢her this class of books should be kept in ;’and that was to me a very encouraging ‘symptom, for it began to be the dawn of a better day in that respect. But here is a book pub- lished by A. S. Barnes & 06., of New York, Chicago and New Orleans, as the imprint shows, They are a very large tirm; they area very respectable firm. It is a book called “The Southern Sta- deut’s Handbook of Seleetions for Read- ing? and Oratory,” edited by Johu G. Jumes, superintendent of the United States military academy at Austin, and is just now fresh from the press. Whether it is published as a mere amusing thing, or whether it is intended for Southern circulation, the Senator himself will bet- ter inform we than I could myself. Mr. Vanee. I have never seen the book before. Mr. Blaine. past day end halk Qeaamiant dA ake Tt is just from the press. Mr. Vance. I will take an glance at it as soon as lcan.

I suppose New Orleans ranks as a Southern | city still. . Mr. Vance.

Mr. Blaine. If the Senator will permit any such suggestion, | will state that gen- erally the place where a book is printed does not tell of its character. Lam quite | free to maintain that this is one of the | inost remarkable books that T ever came across Within the limited sphere of my own reading.

THE DEMOCRATIC SENATORAL GRAMME, The Democratic Senators were in ean- cus three hours this afternoon discussing the present situation with a view to de- ciding upon acourse of action. Senator Vest, who was the first speaker, favored limmediate adjournment. He thought that the majority was under no obligation He was supported by Scuator Walhice, who took the same view. Senators MeDonald, Bayard, Thurman and Hill, however op- posed this course with great: earmestiess insisting that it) would be both unwise ‘and unwarranted. They argued that it would be injudicious io give up the sub- stantial benelits acquired by the sections of the presont bill jury + ‘ "1k = | amending the J ‘}te which the President Jas made no ob- jection. They also pointed out that the President in vetoing the present bill on ‘account of one of its provisions, and at the same time approving the army bill ‘had taken a position at variance with ithe argument of an influential part ot | his own party. Senators Butler, Maxey, Morgan, Pen- 'dleton, Eaton and Beck also spoke in op- | position so the plan of adjournment with- out further effort. Several of the speak- lers, including Senators Bayard Thurman, (Hill, Butler and Hampton, said) in the most emphatic manner that adjournment, a ’ l f t \ { ent, would every branch of the governm indefcusi- be utterly unjustitiable and i ble.

Beoks are published in this country for the purpose of being sold. 1 bring one here published by Southern men, known and respected among Southern men as teachers of the youth, and L suppose this book was not published for mere fan. I suppese peo- ple do not get up books for the mere purpose of expending the money that is hecessary to print them. They are pub- lished for a purpose, and if at the next session of Congress the honorable Sena- tor will address me that question and in| the meantime endeavor to accumulate a little information on it himself, 1 think that the joint efforts of himself and my- self will be able to show that this book will be in a great many Southern schools. Mr. Vance, L should like to say avoth- er thing with the Senator’s permisson, The presiding officer. Does the Sena- | tor from Maine yield ? Mr. Blaine. Certainly. Mr. Vance. The Senator certainly has too much regard for law and for common logic to hold the people of the South re- sponsible for the individual enterprise of | any man, as I certainly have too much respect for him and his constituents to hotd him and them responsible for the ob- scene literature which is flooded from the | presses of the North, the prosecations for the.circalation of which we frequently | see in the newspapers.

[Langhter.] Mr. Blaine. I think the Senator quoted not as a_ politician, butasa bot- anist, or lover of natural seenery, or something of that sort. 1 think the ex- tracts from the honorable Senator are en- tirely harmless, and do him great credit as a writer. Mr. Vance. I would not praise it first, but the Senator from Maine was disposed ‘to put some curious construction on it as jagainst the government of the United | States, but it seems the author was very | wise and judicious in selecting that which would not do anybody any harm who loved the union of the country.

He who docs not soar high, will not suffer by the fall. The torment of envy is like a grain of sand in the eye. Envy uot those who have, vor de- spise those who have not. The error of a moment becomes the sorrow of a whole life. The more our talents are exercised, the more they will be developed. Mind your tongue! Don’t let it speak hastly, cruel, or wicked words. Never exhibit anger, impatience or excitement when an accident oc- curs. The integrity of men is to be meas- ured by their conduct, not by their professions, Never enter a room noisily; never fail to close the door after vou, and never slam it. Unhappy is the man fur whom his owv mother has made other mothers venerable. All that is wise has been thought already ; however, to ‘think it again. The gem cannot be polished with- out friction, nor man_ perfected with- we must try, out trials. The man will be happier than he who contends with others. Never exhibit too much ty with the new acquaintance; you may give offence. Men show their character in nothing more clearly than by what they think laughable. Expression is of more consequence than shiape—it will ight uv features otherwise heavy. All virtue lies in a power of deny- jng our own desires when reason does not authorize them. The mind hath reason to remember that passions ought to be her vassals, not her masters, Never fuil to offer the easiest and best seat in the reom to an er elderly: person or a lady. Generalizations and great self-con- eeit are always preparing the most lamentable ‘mishaps. Never neglect tu perform the com- mission which the friend entrusted to you. You must not forget. Ordinary apprehension, or a cor- rect view of human affairs, is the general heirloom of common sense. People do not reflect that they may soon die. Ifthey did their quarrels would quickly terminate, At present det. us remove what is bad ; which must always be done be- fore good of .any kind can spring up. >, Perservering mediocrity is much more respectable, and of unspeakably more use than talented inconstancy.

A man to be a success must not be a pure idealism, but he must have ideas. He docs not want to be sun- dazzled orsun-blind, but he must keep him from knocking himself against the wall. . The despised of some people are the looked-up to of others. Were it not so, the little ones of the earth woukl not be able to hold up their heads under the contumely of the ° great ones. The wise man makes equity and justice the basis of all his conduct, the right forms the rule of his behavior, deference and modesty mark his ex- terior, sincerity and fidelity serve him for accomplishments. Witty sayings are as easily lost as the pearls slipping offa broken string; but a word of kindness is seldom spoken in vain. It is a seed — which, even when dropped by chance, springs up a flower. All paths of knowledge are con- nected. They all run into each other. They are allone. There is no end to thethings we must lcarn in order to have what may be called knowledge of any one thing. If you would be exempt from un- easiness, do nothing which you know or suspect is wrong; and if yon wish to enjoy tne present pleasure, always do everything in your power which iyou know to be right. Some unknown philosopher obser- ves: ‘A little girl who can put ona square patch may not be so accom- plished as one who can work a green worsted dog on a yellow ground,$but she is of fur more value in the com- munity.’ ~ The great high road of human wel- fare lies along the old higgway ofstead- ffst well-doing, and they who are the most persistent and work in the truest spirit will invariably be the most sue- cessful ; success treads on the heels of every right effort. The only certain test by which we can ascertain the sincerity of our re- gard fur our friends is the feeling with which wé receive the news of their happiness and aggrandizement, the more especially when fortune has raised them above our level. He who would proceed too fast is liable to take very fulse steps. It mat- ters not at what time, but on what terms, a negotiation is concluded. It is much better matters later than to ruin them by precipita- to conclude tion; and it often happens that we even delay, by our impatience, that which we were too anxious to push forward, The greatest man is he who chooses right with the most invincible resolu- tion; who resists the sorest tempta- tion from within and without; who bears the heaviest burden cheerfully ; who is the calmest in the storm and the most. fearless under menaces and frowns ; whose reliance on truth, on virtue and on heaven, is most unfal- tering. —- A Word to Young Men. The following advice may be of some importance to the youth of this age: “Any body who wishes to may become a gentleman. He will not form the habit of_telling smutty or vulgar stories. He will always le tidy in dress, He will be careful not to offend persons; will keep his face clean. He will never be loud-mouth- ed or over-bearing to his inferiors. This trait of character, always marks the snob or egotist. He will never litt his voice when ina small room talking to nen, as though he were in a field driving oxen. He will never speak so as to wound or pain the heart of the person who is under him. He will never speak of his superior family connections, or give those he is with to understand he is of nore con- sequence than they. He will never pry into the family affairs of any oth- er person, or meddle himself with the affairs another person should attend to. Hewill never try to bully or beat his way, nor assume a superiority that is lost the moment it is boasted of. The gentleman always has friends; eyen under adverse circu mstances, be- cause he deserves them. The success of the true gentleman is always last- ing. . 7@ Stewart Ellison and Cary Irwin, two colored men of Raleigh, have been awarded the contract for the comple- tion of the United States postoffice in that city, | if hel Sae fi SYMPTOMS°OF WORMS. <>}. riety +e ¢40t as Oh; ai pue countenance is pale and leaden: colored, with, occasional. flushes, or a circumscribed spot-on one. or both cheeks; the eyes become dull; the pu- pils dilate; an azure semicircle: runs along the lower ‘eye-lid; the nose is ir- ritated, swells, and sometimes bleeds; a swelling of the upper lip; occasional headache, with humming or throbbing “of the ears; an, unusual. secretion. of . saliva; slimy or furred tongue; breath very foul, particularly in the morning; appetite variable, sometimes voracious, with a gnawing sensation of the stom+ ach, at others, entirely gone; fleeting pains in the stomach; occasional nausea and yomiting; violent ‘pains throughout the abdomen; bowels ir- regular, at times, castive ; stools slimy,; _ not unfrequently tinged with blood; belly swollen and hard; urine turbid; respiration occasionally difficult, and accompanied by hiccough; cough sometimes dry and convulsive ; uneasy and disturbed sleep, with grinding of the teeth ; temper variable, but gener- ally irritable, &c.
