THE GOLDSBORO MESSENGER, MARCH 15, 1886.--DOUBLE SHEET. WASHINGTON NOTES. j Push's Keply to Edmund's Well ! Received. XStaff Correspondence of the Messenger. Washington, Maith 10. The Sen site galleries were as full to-day at ten minutes past 2 p. m. to hear Mr. Puph, . of Alabama, as they were yesterday on the occasion of Mri Edmund's great unbottling:. Mr. Puglj is leading Dem ocrat oui the Judiciary Committee, and as author of tbi minority report on the papers matter between Senate iind President was entitled to priority in the Democratic contention. But as he is a prosy speakerj with small liter erary skill, expectation was not raised to any high pitch. Nevertheless, the questions at issue bejing of prime im portance and interest , the people came out to honor the Democratic as they had come to honor the Republican champion. And they! paid as profound respect to the latter as they had done to the earlier debater. Mr. Pugh started oft handsomely. I have never heard him speak as Well. He not only seemed to be at easejbut he appeared to have his subject well in hand and not to do at all overawed by the com manding reputationjfor ability of his opponent. He spoke extempore. As I made no effort to keep in mind the order of his argument,. I will not pre tend to state it in outline. He recited the now well worn history of the Dus kin case, and argued that Senator Ed munds had not, in his report or in his speech correctly stated the question at issue between the President and the Senate. He boldly turned on Mr. Ed munds the latter's j brilliant use of Judge Thurmn's name, showing that the illustrious Senator from Ohio in the Tenure-of-Office debate in 18G9 occupied a position precisely like that assumed by the Democrats to-day. And he also quoted I Edmunds in 1869 to confute Edmunds in 1886. Mr. Pugh said that the whole question lay in (the proper understanding of a few simple facts. He quoted extensively from the President's late message, and indeed from almost everything else he could conveniently tay his hands on. .The chief faults of the speech were its tedious quotations and its lack of purg ency and logical order. Many sharp points were n)ade and altogether the Alabama Senator presented the Demo cratic argument very clearly and not without a certain Ifire and force. The trouble witlk the Democratic side of the Senate on questions of this nature is that it' lhas no first-class speakers. Mr. Voorheos is possibly the man who is the closest approxima tion to the demands of the occasion which Democratic poverty admits of since the withdrawal from public life of Judge Thurmaii and the transfer to other scenes of acltipn of Messrs. La mar, Bajard and Oarland. George Pendleton, too, while not a very heavy .ijun, made one or two notable consti tutional argument! in the Senate. Vest and Voorhees are both too light for Mr. Edmunds arid are barely equal to Ingalls at hisbestj. But Vest is sick. Morgan well, what can be said of Morgan that, every body doesn't know.' He is an extremely able law yer, or tireless b.ut also tiresome deba ter!, full of words als ideas, who does nor carry conviction because he says everything so easijly and says it in much the manner! as the Yadkint spreads itself in its Upper course over a vast territory but is only a few feet deep. Maj. Yeates tells me that the Pugh family, distinguished in Ohio as well as in Alabama, went from Bertie county, North Carolina. But Senator .Push is a native of Georgia. His father or grandfather was probably a North Carolinian. i Mr. Pulitzer, of the New York j World, made to-day the over-due ad I verse report of the Committee on Civil i Service Reform oil the Seney bill to .repeal the law. A minority report not however in favor of repeal will be made by Mr. Sjtone, of Missouri. Mr. Pulitzer wrote; the majority re jport which is 'as! -follows : "Your i committee find that this bill instead of either impioving lor enlarging the scope of the present law simply pro vides for its unconditional and abso lute repeal. They report adversely STnrnd ask that the bill lie upon the table, for the following further reasons : First, the principle of divorcing the subordinate offices of the government from politics and elections and making the term of office 'depend, not upon party service, butj upon merit and good behavior, is algood one. So far as this principle isj sustained by the present law the coirimittee think there should be no change. Second: The present law has not been on the statute books long enough te have had a full and complete trial. If for no other reasen than this, the committee will oppose any measure providing for an absolute repeal. Third: No reason or information has been presented to this committee justifying an unconditional repeal of the present law. j It may, perhaps, need improvement but the remedy is amendment, not total repeal." Mr. Frye introduced a bill in the Senate to-day, which was prepared by Chief Switzler of the Bureau of Statis tics, altering the name to Bureau of Commercial Statistics and making other provisions deemed necessary to its successfull organization. The Coinage Committee of the House to-day discussed bills providing for the redemption) of the" trade dollar and to repeal the law allowing subsid iary coin to be exchanged at the Treas ury or sub-treasury for notes or coin of larger denomination. The Committee on Banking and Currency received replies from Secre tary Manning and Treasurer express- 1 " A A 1 A . ing mammy 10 come oerore tne Com mittee and give information on the effect of proposed measures to prevent tne contraction or the currency. The reply of the first vas almost in the nature of a snub direct. Sugar was brought prominently be fore the Ways and( Means Committee to-day by Louisiana Congressmen and others trom that State which is de scribed as for low tariff on every thing but its own inland The House spent most of the after noon on the Indian Appropriation bill, but many members listened to Sena tor Pugh. In addition to (the list of private secretaries or Senators furnished in pursuance of the Riddleberger resolu tion are the following names, which still do not complete the number of those who have private Secretaries : John Irwin, for Senator J. H. Mitch ell; E. B. Wight, for Senator Aldrichj P. S.'George, for Senator George: R. M. Call, for Senator Call ; R. M. Lar ner, for Senator Gorman; Geo. Gilli land, for Senator) Voorhees ; R. B. Green, for Senator Coke; E. D. Mar tin, for Senator Wilson, of Maryland; M. G. Seekendorf, for Senator Chace; M. S. Giiay, for Senator Maxey; F. P. Ferris, for Senator Van Wyck; S. Hutchins, for Senator Ransom; R. B. Cooke, for Senator Blackburn. About half of these are newspaper men who seek opportunity for collecting news on the floof. They do not all render service as Secretaries. Senators are prohibited by the rules from granting cards of admission to the floor to nom inal Secretaries, but the rule is vio lated in some instances. Correspon dents should not seek these undue ad vantage?, and Senators should not ex tend them, especially as the extension violates their own rules. Rev. Dr. Huatlev. Methodist Epis copal, has resigned the chaplaincy of the senate, to take errect nexi mou dav. The text of the bill to be filed by the Government in the great telephone suit is published. The suit will prob ably be brought at Columbus, Ohio, as heretofore stated, but the time is not vet ascertained even approximately. Representative O'Hara is absent on a week's leave ot absence from yester day. The President's closing reception last night was the largest and most orderly yet given at the White House. u. v. ri. SOUJND ADVICE. An Appeal to Cotton Growers. The interstate agricultural conven tion held at Jackson, Tenn., duriDg the month of February Ipublished the protest and appeal copied below to the farmers throughout the South. We willingly publish the appeal though we think the convention has under taken a hopeless task when it ven tures to bring about united action on the part of the planter in the matter of planting! cotton. Many planters will, no doubt, being under the im pression that this move will have a tendency to put cotton up next Fall, increase their acreage instead of de creasing as this appeal suggests. But the document contains much truth, and we think it right to keep our farmer readers as well posted on the movements of the speculators as we can. And the advice given is also good and wholesome, and would re dound to the good of farmers were it possible to secure united actfpn. Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 26. The in terstate agricultural convention, which has been in session at Jackson, Tenn., since Wednesday, adjourned this evening. The following resolutions were adopted with amendments to in clude breadstuffs and hog products, as well as cottcn : The manipulation bv speculators of the cotton crop of 18S5 86, which so depressed prices that they have fallen below the actual cost of production forces upon the jlanters of the South the necessity of relieving themselves, as far as in their power lie, from the influence of so ruinous a system as that which now controls the chief ex portable products of the country, and with this end in view the representa tives of the agricultural interests of Tennessee, in convention assembled, call upon our brother planters of all the Southern States to protect them selves by united action. Emboldened by past success, the speculator has al ready fixed the standard prices for the cotton crop of 18S6-87. This he has done before the seed has been put in the ground, or even a plough has been started. Cotton futures for the months of October, November and December, 1886, and January, 188, are to-day quoted in New York at from 8 90 to S to, Go according to months. This means not exceeding 8 cents for mid dling cotton in New York, or 8 cents at the principal cotton shipping points of the South, including such cities as New Orleans, Charleston, Savannah, Augusta, Mobile, Galveston and Mem phis. Middling cotton at these cities selling for 8 cents means not more than 7 cents to the planter, who must pay freight, insurance and regular commission charges, which generally average from 3 to 1 cent per pound. Now, in view of these conditions, so ruinous of our interests, we appeal to the intelligence of the cotton grower and ask him can he pay the expenses of farming and make even a bare liv ing by setting cotton at cent per pound. The answer is already given m the negative. The next . question following upon this is what is the remedy? We answer diversified crops. Plant one-third less cotton and more grain and grasses. Raise hogs and hominy. Let cotton be a surplus crop. Instead of producing six and a half million bales, make only four and a half million bales. By this means we may realize the long price of ourvla bor, and at the same time live inde pendently of the sharks, who profit by our losses. In addition to this, the legislature of each Southern State should be petitioned to make dealingsl tor ruture delivery, unless cotton is actually on hand to sell, and is actual ly delivered to contracting purchaser, a felony, punishable by fine and im prisonment, not less than $1,000 and two years in the penitentiary. The time is now propitious for united ac tion, and we appeal to the press of the South to aid us in our efforts, by giv ing every publicity to this protest and appeal, which we feel cannot but re.- sult beneficially to the planter if promptly acted upon and lived up to honestly. "The Proper Study of Mankind is Man" eays the illustrious Pope. If he had in cluded woman in the ist, he would have been nearer the truth, if not so poetical. Dr. R V. Pierce has made them both a lite study, especially woman, and the pe culiar derangements to which her delicate system is liable. Many women in the land who are acquainted with Dr. Pierce only through his "Favorite Prescription," bless him with all their hearts, for he has brought them the panacea for all those chronicr ailments peculiar to their sex: such as leucorrhcea, prolapsus., and othe displacements, ulceration, "internal fe ver, bloating,- tendency to internal can cer, and other ailments.

Strike lonf? and loud; and let thy lays, Becojrd the daring of Murray and Kannier. The cloud3 of war had gathered o'er The plains, the hills, to Cape rears snore: Each brancn ana nil ana eavannan unwu. Sent forth Its patriots, rud and sword. Bach horse a rallant ruler Dore, To meet, to die, or route the foe. The scattered clans of Scottish lords Had roused them at McDonalds words; And proud McLoud. his hellish boast. To "sup with Plato," or route the host. Marched, to the drums' and pibrochs' swell. Scorning: a foe in brave Caswell. The tall, dark pines, Carolina's pride. Stood sentinel o'er Moore's Creek side. The moss-clad cypress, ash and gum. Resounded with the battle's hum. The astonished echoes scarce could swell Sounds, heard alone, when wild deer fell. McDonald bravely led hisfhost, McLoud fell, eying at his post: The foremost fell, to rise no more. And fled the rest, from LiHinsrton and Moore, And left the "veil of death," the dark grey To shroud Brittannia's slain, Brittannia's los. moss. With clanking hoofs and fairer guide. The returning conquerors now espied. Young Slocumb's wife rein up her steed. Where tender hands were most in need: With visions of her wounded lord. The night before her sleep disturbed. She dreamed she saw him wet with gore. Lay, with his great-coat mantled o'er: And, true to life, her vision fell. Yet, not her lord, 'twas young Codell: His wounds she dressed no patriot slain. And sixty miles, alone, back rode to Wayne. The savannah crane, the wild horse fed. Where stood the home of Kannier, 'tis said, A mound of clay marks now the spot. His deeds of daring not yet forgot: " Horse Branch" binding pours its flood, To swell "Long Creek," near where it stood. His steed, a mare, if tradition is true. Was fleet as wind, and tinged with blue. Obedient, docile, kind they say. In thicket hid, would never neigh. When horsemen passed, or dragoon rode, Where watched her master by the road. And oft her mettle well was tried. When "red coats" or "tories" the rider espied; Or through swamps and bays, field and twig, Bore news of danger to the whig: Nor friend to friend, when danger near, More true or faithful than John Kannier. Near "Mt. Holly Church" a pine log lay, Not yet to vision lost, or to decay; Then hid Kannier by it and waving grass. To watch Cornwallis ase passed, Not recking for a price upon his bead. Of "100 guineas," "10 for his mare." 'tis said. He had a friend what patriot not? A Zeal by birth, in speech a Scot, Whose offspring numerous, now reside By North East Cape Fear's murky tide. Not oath-bound, like his hated tory. Whig, and patriot true, was Thomas Murray. A warrior born, a huntsman bred. Such as a foe may always dread: And had his birth been farther north. His deeds would not be now almost lost: A Putnam's leap, or deserted plow. Would cause a smile beside his. now. No trust in war he e'er betrayed. In peace, no duty ever swayed. In his broad Scotch he gaily swore. That "they" could draw out all his gore: His body in a "caldron of oil boil," Not then "betray" his friend and spoil. The baffled minions of the king. Heard, and knew the metals ring; Saw, beneath that shaggy eye and brow. No hope of gold or plunder now. Nor hate, nor fury, could then supply. Victory won, by patriots word and eye. Long years confined in prison cell. How long, tradition fails to tell; Nor goads, nor threats of death, or whip. Once slackened that true Scotchmans grip: His captors refusing, often, to arrange. As man for man, a fair exchange. Close guarded in his cell in Wilmington, Forgotten not by General Lillinsrton, Who dared, and did, all that friend could do To rescue Murray from the Joe. At last, a "Generalk" spurs, boots and sword. Exchanged for him, who never broke his word- In youth my bosom oft would swell. To hear my friend and sire these legends tell; Oft seized imagined sword: roused by the story, To strike from earth the hated tory: Now honor Whig and Tory both. One for his deeds, the other for his oath. Sons of such sires, who dares to sny You have degenerated, in your day? Go ask the fields, on Virginia's sod. Or the bare rocks on which you trod. That drank your blood! ah, hear their cry They did what others dared not try. Bvrgaw, Jan. 21, 1W. 31 AUDI OKAS IN NEW OR LEANS. A Description of the Brilliant Pageant. New Orleans, March 9. To-day His Majesty Rex gave his annual pa rade for the benefit of his subjects. The streets along the procession were densely packed with people. These parades are usually viewed by 20,000 to 50,000 visitors, and probably half the population of the city. To-day the crowds along the line of march shewed no diminution in numbers. At the head of the procession rode a body of Knights in the armor of the Roman Empire, shortlv after the Christian era, who announced that the subject of the pageant was the triumphant return to Home of Zenobia and Pal myra. Along the line of march were stretched the soldiers of the Roman Empire, followed by ambassadors of j countries who wished to show their friendship for the conquering soldiers. ourrounaing tne car containing tne captured Emperor were a body of Odalesque slave girls clad in flimsy and scanty robes. The qieen?s chariot was very high and was drawn by four white horses. An escort of Roman soldiers guarded the captive, who was tanned by negro attendants. With a crash of trumpets came the victorious Emperor, surrounded by his lieuten ants and soldiers, seated on a high car supported by carved columns laid with gems and surrounded by the Roman eagles, was drawn along. He was followed by the probus in the exact representation of a Roman war chariot. The succeeding tables showed groups of Roman ladies watching the trium phant march. "The genius of peace" came next, represented by a chariot of shells supported by the wings of a dove and surrounded by birds of Paradise; other historical scenes followed on separate cars; martydom of Christians in the Coliseum; Constantine profess ing Christianity; the Church of an cient Byzantium, with its summit of gold; Attila at the gates of Raven na; the Hermit, preaching; the Crusa aers; iimour, tue Tartar, amusing himself with the captive Emperor of nina; Columbus at the Uoutt of Fer dinand and Isabella. The last car presented Martin Luther making his protest at the Diet of "Worms. All the tableaux were excellently pre sented, the massacre of the Christians being especially good. ADVICE TO MOTHERS.
