I'ul-liln-lVviT.v Thursdax at I'oom-. Wntaugii County, N.C. Polltlrt nd Other Ns. The lVmoeratie loaders of Congress ha issued n ad dress to the country, show ing tip "Fat Tom" Heed' ruling without a quorum. U is an able ahlressand should Ik read by all. The President nominated It. K. lruee, for Recorder of Ikvds Dist. of Columbia. Sen t to confirmed the nomina tiou. Ceo. T. Hummer was confirmed ttost inastor at ... . , Bristol. Ton n. The Ohio Legislature will wwllut i-ir-f ihn utilte. It, is now thought that the Demo crats will gain ten or more Congressmen which will make n change of 20 in the next Congress. The Democrats elect A. D. Ileffner and John M. Patti son in Ohio successors ol Representative Lawyer and .Senator Ashburn, deceased, by increased majority. This indicates that Ohio will be like Senator Urice recently said that ' Ohio will bectern nly democratic." Speaker Heed of Congress is about to back down from his arbitrary ruling, he finds that the country is getting too hot for such a would-be autocrat. The best element of his own party denounce him and the Democrats of House are 'setting the hair' on him. Harrison, Dudley, Quay, Tanner and last but not least Tom Reed of Maine have demoralized the Repub lican party so badly that they can never return to power again in the nation. Senator Vance made a speech in the Senate the other dry on the race question opposing Senator Butlers bill to emi grate the negro to Africa. Senator Vance is in favor ol letting the colored man alone in the South. But, says the Senator, to satisfy the North ;we will let them have their porpotional part of the ne gro." The Senator raised the blis ters on Senator Ingals, re plying to his speech made on the sa me subject. The South has the advantage on the race question, we are willing to let them stay with us and do the best we can, or they can go and do the best they can. The Republican majority in Congress with their speak er Tom Reed, are running things their own way, and have disgusted all fair minded raenwith their arbitrary power. Under the speakership of Blaine, Ran dall, Carlisle and infact ever since Congress has been es tablished the minority in Congress have had proper recogination and could al ways be heard. Not so now. Speaker Reed snubs the mi nority, so much so that the country is speaking out in condemnation. Many of the better elements of the republi cans are severe on the auto crat speaker. Thel)emocrat members are pouring hot shot into the speaker. They read speeches of Reed made ;i:i ComriVfS two or inorJ year l. n k. d.-fending the; minority. His rulings now, s speaker ol ''ngres. coir.-; .li t ly ignores his own urgu- ui'Mits. ami every pnvejViit j i.f other shakers of Congt ess. It is now Ken.! against lt.vl ami the rulings of all other sukers. We suppose that our Billy Cowlcs wanted to fight, the other day on the above te ctum t. A Fen !) oa Watanara Rltrr. We left on the notli. Jan. to ow-n up an iron mine on the 'Big Ridge' located be tween Watauga river and Beech Cmk, throe miles from the Tennessee line. We hired some good men to dig in the Big Ridge to 11 ml the vein of ore that has been hunted for by others, and we found. It is a good one and we are pleased about it. We were in plain hearing of the blast ing on the .'k's R. R. and such a lumbering noise we never heard since the war. It was almost a continuous noise like distant artillery. Near by w here we w here at work is the Flattery sil ver mine, blasting was going on at a lively rate, we hope that this silver mine will turnout rich. Th present prospects, we are told, are llattering. To be in a posit ion to hear at the same hour and often, simultaneously work going on building rail roads, opening up silver mines at Flanerys and iron mines at Cranberry and Big Ridge, makes one feel that western N. C. and particularly Wa tauga county, us we hope, will in a few years be the grandest country, in many particulars, to be found. While we are proud of many things we see and hear of, there are othor things go ing on that are ruinous to the country and to the peo-l pie who are engaged in it, we refer particularly to the dam age being done along Wa tauga river in the lower part of Watauga county and the upper part of Johnson coun ty Tenn.. The finest poplar trees that ever grew are being cut and hauled to the river to raft them down some where below. Millions of feet of fine timber will thus be lost. The owners do not get e nough to pay them to cut and haul. If the people would be patient and hold their timber a fewlycars long er the rail road will be built, then the timber will pay. j As we came up the river on our way home, we met with a nnmber of men locating a church site for a new church at Antiock. To see 25 men with rations, uxes and tools, vol u n t a rely m ee t i ng t o loca te and build a church house, re minds you, forcibly, that the church will be built. L. W. Farthing Esq. will give off of his lower bottom, ground on which to build. A nice location, a good spring. a large congregation and withall a large membership of near two hundred, demand a large, comodious house. We hope the good people will build a house that will be satisfactory to the church and splendid neighborhood. The church house will be lo cated on the left bank of the beautiful Watauga, wishing the brethren good success, we Sassed on to ' ur old friend . N. where we took dinner, i Our old friend had lots of good words to say about the Democrat which pleased us. He will write more for the Democrat. .i.i No agent otieauh, n-rhaps. i so prolific of evil i lie human tongiu. unles it is carefully guarded, ami thisis ine of the ve-y hardest things to do The Bible tells us of thediri culty ami duty of governing the tongue. I i says that "the tongue is a fire, n world of in iquity," and that every kind of beasts, birds and serjvnts have beiti tamed by man kind, but the tongue can no man tame. '"It is an unruly evil, and full of deadly poi son." How often we have oeca tion to think of this wonder ful lesson, in connection with others, but oftener still, with ourselves. "A little member truly,'' yet its poison is more to bf .dreaded than the ven om of the tarantula of Afri ca. None are exempt front its baneful influence. Some body's tongue will wag at your choicest, best efforts. No difference how much you strive to please, and exhaust your energies and rack your brain for new devices and plans to please, some one will find fault, and the next thing you know, your own tongue will be going at lightning speed, and so it is, the world over. It can attack the minister in the pulpit, and the spot less ecclesistical ermine that he has worn so faithfully and well, falls from the shoulders of him, who has always boon a synonitn of goodness and uprightness, and trails in the dust, all because some-body's tongue would wag. It cat! attack the virgin im maculate name, and with few words, 'whispered for shame', and lol a st-.tia i s left on"one whose heart is as pure as tin newly fallen snow, It can take the purest, noblest ef forts of the soul, efforts made for others good, and hurl them back anathemas in your fa e 1 low nico i t would be if each and every one, could learn to govern this unruly ir ember'. What a dimunition there would be in the world of hard feelings, heart aches and teats! One of the first things we learn on starting on life's pilgrimage is to talk, which is one of the greatest earth ly blessings, but how much abused. A foreigner on being asked, on his return, how he liked the Americans? expressed himself as being pleased, but, continued he, "They are talk ing themselves to death. They will talk all day, with out cessation, and would like to compel you to listen to them at night." While 1 be lieve this to be exaggerated, yet 1 think no place can beat them. Talk we must and talk we will, and we daily say things that when casting up accounts at night, we would be glad had never been ut tered. But alas! they are gone, and no earthly power can ever recall them. "Thoughts unexpressed may often fall back dead, But God Himself can't kill them when they're said." How careful then v. e should be of w hat we say ! A t hought less, angry, hasty word, and the brightness of noonday -is changed into the inky dark ness of Erebus. Guard well the tongue, for it is more dangerous than the execu tion knives of the savage Af rican Balgola tribe for they The Human Tongue Agent for Evil. injure the liu.ly alone, while ; the tongue can cicatrize the heart and plow deep furrows o:i the brow.
