The Oregon which went down m a, collision on: uong -island with a heavy schooner was next to the Etrvrio-, of - the sameliue, the fastest steamer in theworld. Bat the rood luck of tbeffef&ld not entirely desert it in this itstirst calamity, j All the crew and passenerers were saved. It has been published as "a . singular discovert" that there is not on hie m the Patent Office a model of the origi nal Bell telephone for which a patent was issued. Patent Office officials, however, say that tkere is nothing very singular about it. as models ot inventions have not., been required since 1870. It is now a matter left to the discretion - of the Commissioners, and if he sees fit to ask for a model in anviase. one must be furnished. A 9Nvwodel was not required in the eaise of the Bell pa tent,, and iii. eon sequence there is no model on file. Thk return of the old Hag to the Goldsboro Rities, after 2-1 years cap tivity, and under such gratifying sur roundiugsi is an event worth y-the cele bration accorded it by our citizens. The generous spirit of the men of Massachusetts who during all those years had taken such excellent care of their trophjr in returning it and the kind and patriotic sentiments and as surances; of sincere friendship from, the lips of Col. Dwight and Capt. Peck " are appreciated and find a responsive echo n the hearts of our people. Let peacej and good will reign between the sections now that we are once more a united and great country. Mr. Jay Gould, always sweet-voiced, persuasive and ingenious, an ex change says, has no trouble in finding reasons why his railway companies did not at once come to terms with their striking employees. The Texas au Pacific road, he says, where the stiike originated, is in the hands of the United States Court, and no other body or person had any right to offer or accept terms of compromise. The strikers may be too polite to in quire .vho sucked the blood out of a healthy corporation, devoured its meat, picked its bones nice aud clean, and compelled the surrender of its control totthe court. Upon that point too. Mr, Gould is significantly silent. xThk simultaneous decision of the German and English governments to vastly increase their naval armaments tliis year, although both have already immense budgets which they almost despair of forcing through their re spective parliaments, is exciting much comment in Europe. The German proposal is to bujld twelve fast Steel armored cruisedwith all the modern improvements -m ordnance and ma chinery, and a still larger number of torpedo boats, to cost over 200,000,000 marks. In England the situation is about the same. Here the proposal is to push rapidly to completion the costly ironclads ordered by the Salis bury government at the time, of the Afghan war scare. It is stated that Germany has an army, a a peace establishment, that numbers 427,274 men and 8,ll8Jm cers, whlich, when on a war-footing, consists pf 1,450,077 men and 34,998 officers, ami requires the use of 312, 7111 horses and 2,808 cannon. This showing provokes the Wilmington (NT. C.) Star to say that ''common sense and humanity alike demand a disarming of the nations. They ought to meet in convention and resolve to reduce their forces three-fourths. What a change in the productiveness, prosperity and happiness of Europe this would cause! It fould chiange trom soldiers into producers not less than 3,000,000 men who are now drill ing." How long people abroad will tolerate such misgovernment. I I - , i A proposition which? has longjbeen a favorite one of the writer has been introduced into the Senate by Senator Insralls.' It is to have the Constitution ' i amended so as to admit of the inaug uration of our Presidents, beginning with the 100th anniversary of Wash ington's inauguration, on the 30th of April. That date is nearly two months later and. comes in pleasant "weather, whereas the 4th of March is almost always the rawest and most disagree able day of the whole year. Another and , more important consideration is the lengthmg of the short term of the Congress. . The Messenger imagines no argument is needed to enforce this amendment on either the Congress or the State Legislatures. Let us inaug urate the first President of. the second Centennial period on the accidental date of the first of our Presidents and foremost of all our citizens. NEW CIVILE SERVICE f: COMMISSIONERS. r 1 The'Presidenthas made apparently good selecting of Civil Service Com missioners to succeed Messrs. Eaton and Trenholm. In -Mr.- Oberly he finds an active Democrat'of character and popularity .V. In Mr." Lyman he follows the principle-of strict. XJJivil Service Reform in promoting the faithful- subordinate. Air. layman is now the only member of the board who is throughly identified with the early movement of reform. He is a practical as well as theoretical reformer, having given signs of capacity in his place of principal examiner. Mr. Edgerton, who served several months with Messrs. aton and Trenholm, is like the others sufficiently in harmony with the President to give pledge of carry ing out his policy, and suffieiently in sympathy with the people opposed or indifferent to that policy to have their confidence. . I , The Commission rs composed, as by law it must be composed, and as by decent public sentiment it should be composed, of two Democrats and one Renublican. chosen ., bv a President who is sunoosed to be informed of their principles, it is to be expected that Messrs. Edgerton. Oberly and Lyman will represent his general views and wishes on the questions with which they have to deal. Besides, the President will have the power to re vise the rules which ma. be adopted from time to time. Even if these gen tlemen should desire to make Civil Service Reform a farce and a delusion, they would not be permitted so to do. It is not conceivable that Mr. Cleve land intends to return to the old sys tem of things by the back or any other door, whatever may be thought of his appointments in two of the places under consideration. He is a rerv sensible as well as conscientious Executive, and has taken no new de parture inmakfn? these appointments. When Civil Service Reform was in its infancy, it was necessary to put the technical reformers in control of the movement. Now that it is the ac cepted policy of the Government, it becomes important, preserving its essential features., ..to give it such practical direction as. will secure all the ends of wise and patriotic and reputable Administration. Mr. Cleve land knows very-well what he is about. OBERLY'S APPOINTMENT. Some of our esteemed contempor aries are pleased to note in the ap pointment of Mr. Oberl' what they term "the dawn of a new era in the reform movement." One of them goes on to describe the kind of man the llli- noisian is : "Nobody will dare insin uate that the Democratic party will not receive its full share of considera tion from a commission of which Mr. Oberly is a member. He is a man of frank speech and open methods. He believes iu his party from top to bot tom and all the way through, and de clares his faith on every occasion without flinching. He considers the party as greater than any one, or any dozen, or any hundred constituents of it; and he has never hesitated to cite, for that party's emulation, the exam ple of the Israelites of old, who when thev had got out of the wilderness and into the promised land took prompt possession of that pleasant territory." This is evidently a faithful picture of a very faithful man; for he has not only served his people well as head of their State Committee but he has had the highest recommendations that votes for Senator in caucus, that suc cessful conduct of various Democratic newspapeis, and .that a long and eventful career as Democrat and citi zen could give any one, but he among many thousands has attracted the quick eye of a practical President. Oberly will do. And if that means st new era, a new era so be it forever. A New York letter to the Baltimore Sun gives a striking illustration of the fact that capital and labor are grad ually arriving at a better understand ing. It is shown by an article in the last issue of the Record and Guide, which is the organ of the real estate and the building interests of New York. Its sympathies are, therefore, entirely on the side of the employers, yet in this article it uses the same argument to show "the hopeful side of the labor troubles" that was used by a labor re presentative recently in "John S win ton's Paper." It is curious to seethe extremes meet in this manner. Both writers declare that an increase of wages and a shortening of hours will not necessarily shatter the manufac turing interests of the country, but on the contrary will advantage every material interest of the country. Nearly all of the increased wages would immediately flow into the chan nels of trade, and its disbursement would stimulate every industry. Trades unions by making wages uni form protect the employers as much as the wage earners. Under the old system the liberal employer was at the mercy of the mean and most un scrupulous employers. When capital and labor begin to look at this great problem through the same pair of eyes, there is little cause for alam in the future. !

THE CONGRESSIONAL FUNERALS We ' fully agree with the Richmond Whip'm its scathing. comments on the modern manner of conducting Con grcssioual funerals, and think the pres ent an appropriate time for the prei-s and the people to protest against the continued repetition of the public scandals almost invariably connected with these junketings trips on such funeral occasions. Senator Miller, of California,! died last week and due and prbper- hohors were paid his remains in the Senate chamber by the officials of the nation. Then a committee of both houses of Congress and a deputy sergeant-at-arms of the Senate were appointed to attend the remains to his home in California on a trip of two weeks or more at public expense, and to the neglect of their representative duties in Washington. No objection is taken to proper respect being paid to the remains or the memory of a de ceased Congressman or other public official, but surely in order to do that, as the h'nj well says, it' is not neces sary to take a dozen or more Congress men and i other . public officers from their duties and send them off with the corpse wijjh carte hlanche to spend all the money they choose for sashes, and gloves, and cigars, and whiskej-, and champagne and anything else they may thinlf th'ey want, and, in fact, to make a frolic of what should properly be a most iolemn occasion. There are instances well known to the public, because they have been thoroughly ex posed in the press, in which these so called funeral honors have degenerat ed into disgraceful drunken orgies, which were an insult instead of an honor to the memory ot the person whose death furnished the occasion and the excuse for them. And. then, when the bills were presented for pay ment, in which cigars, whiskey .and champagne figured more conspicuous ly than anything else, it was said that they must not be questioned or ex amined too critically, because they were funeral expenses and there ought not to be a scandal about such mat ters ! Just as if the scandal did not consist in the acts committed, and not in the jexposure of them ! MERCHANDISE POSTAGE. The bill; of the Iowa Senator to in crease the rate of -postage on fourth class matter, from one cent per ounce to two cents per ounce, has met an avalanche of remonstrances from the eastern cities. The bill, says the At lanta OonfiUtiition, is in the interest of interior merchants and the express companies,! ana is against tne interest of the large retail houses in New York and other eastern eities that transact a large business with the people through the conveniences of our par cels post. 3To raise the rate of mer- 4. j 4 chandise postage to the rate exacted for letter postage; would be very dam aging to such houses as Macy's or Vannamaer's or Jordan and Marsh in the eastern cities. Such houses are m not fighting the bill on that ground, however. They say it is a bill that would make life harder along the frontier and in all other places bat are not withmg easy distance of good markets, frhey plead, in other words, the cause of the people. - . The bill may be ill advised and even injurious, but the people will not suf fer if it Income's a law. It has not left the hands of the Senate commit tee, and its prospects of passage are not considered good. From a strictly revenue stkndpointj it is claimed the bill should1 be voted down. Not that the postasre directly received meets the expense of carrying in the mail bags lighf-weight goods of almost every description, but the correspon dence that is involved and the trans mittal of the money demanded go to swell the postal receipts vry consid erably. A jNew York merchant, whose firm uses the mails freely in sending goods to customers, recently stated that it is usual to receive and reply to three or f okir letters of inquiry before they receijve the order for the goods; that 65 per cent of their remittances are either by registered letter or money order, payirfg the government 12 cents and 10 cents respectively, for fee and postage, and that they send fully Co per cent of their packages as registered jfourth-class matter, paying 10 cents registry fee upon each, in ad dition to tie regular postage. The bill has marry noisy and active opponents and it is scarcely worth discussion because it seems to be marked for defeat. If Senator Wilson should succeed in pushing it through the Senate tb House would be apt to leave it lintouched when it closes up the work Csf the session.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER NORTH CAROLINA CONGRESSMEN And Educational, Civil Service and Internal Revenue Legislation. iistau Lorresporulenoe of the Messenger. Washington, March 16. The situa tion to-day of the Educational bill is about as follows: The committee has postponed the further consideration until late in April with the view, of staving off all action, and defeating the measure in the House. Mr. Wil lis' bill is before the committee, but to obviate difficult George Wise intro duce?- it this afternoon, with some small changes, as a new measure. It will come up on Friday for considera tion before the committee. If the com mittee shall refuse to report it then Mr. Willis will alter it slightly and reintroduce it and get it sent to some other committee, mustering all his clans from every quarter for the final onset. It is believed that a majority of the House are in favor of its pass age, and many members are very an gry at the paiiiathentary obstructions placed in its way. In the above man ner they purpose getting rid of these obstacles. Mr. Reids' resolution re cites all the facts. It will be reported one way or the other, probably ad versedly, by the Committee on Rules, , to which it was referred at its author's request. But the great object of aeri tation and organization for final inde pendent action by the House will have been achieved. The delegation .will all do what is possible for the success ot the measure. This afternoon, under suspension of the rules, Mr. Bland won a victory for silver tree coinage, the yea and nav vote for setting apart days for the con sideration ot his bill tor free coinage was 179 for and 87 against the propo sition. This is not strictly a test vote on free coinage, but it shows how strong the sentiment is. Several mem bers who voted for the consideration are known to be opposed to free coin age of silver. Judge Bennett was ab sent and paired. But all the other North Carolina members, O'Hara with the Democrats, were recorded yea. It is hardlv probable that a majority of the House ' favors free coinage under present conditions. Since Saturday when occurred the funeral of Senator Miller of Califor nia, Mrs. Gorman, mother of Senator Gorman; Mrs. Woodburn, wife of Rep resentative Woodburn; and Gov; Mi chael Hahn, Representative from a Louisiana district, have died, the lat ter having been found on the floor of his bedroom Monday morning dead from the effects of a hemorrhage. "Almighty God," prayed the blind chaplain of the House, yesterday, "we bow before Thee in reverence, still ness and humility. In its last session this House stood in the presence of the coffined dead, and paid its tribute of respect to the memory of the de parted Senator. Since then the blows of death have fallen twice on the House. The wife of a member has been called away and now a member has passe i through the gate of death. We humbly beseech Thee to comfort and cheer the bereaved the husband and children of the departed member, Oh ! come Thou unto them with the only solace and consolation which can cheer in such tin hour. Release us all from the gloomy superstitions con cerning death which have held the minds of men in terror for so many ;rge, and may the light of Christ's life and resurrection shine into our hearts and on our paths; and may we com prehend that death is only the passage to another life a higher life and no bler for a good and virtuous man, true to his principles, true to his duty, his country and his God; and bring us all at last,, whether our earthly life be brief or long, to rejoice in Thy pres ence, and in the higher activities of Thy upper kingdom." Rev. Dr. J. G, Butler, of the Luth eran memorial church, was elected chaplain of the Senate yesterday. The Senate passed the bill on Mon day providing for the printing of a new edition of the postal laws to be sold at ten per cent, on cost to the public. The edition is 75,000 copies. Mr. Ingalls submitted the following joint resolution : "Whereas, the first President of the United States was not inaugurated until the 30th day of April in the year 1789, and whereas, the day which was chosen by the con tinental Congress for the installation of the new government then estab lished by the constitution, the 4th day of March does now cause public in convenience in unduly curtailing and limiting the second session of every Congress: and whereas, it is fitting that the one hundredth anniversary of the inauguration of George Wash ington as the first President of the United States be commemorated by the inauguration of his successor in 1889 upon the same day, and that this should be the day hereafter for the beginning of successive administra tions of the grovernment: Therefore be it- Hesolved, That the following article be proposed to the legislatures of the several States as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, as part of the Constitution, namely: Article XVI. That the term of office of the President and the second ses sion of the 50th Congress shall con tinue until the 30th day of April, in the year 1889, and the 30th of April shall thereafter be substituted for the 4th of March, as the commencement of the official term of the successive Presidents and Vice Presidents and Congresses of the United States. It was referred to the committee on privileges and elections. To-day a funeral service over the dead Congressman was held at the undertakers' and at 5:30 p. m., the re mains were carried on the Southern train toward New Orleans in escort of the joint committee, one member of which was Senator Vance. One pension bill was reported in the Senate to-day and another the widows' passed after debate. Senator Cullom, of Illinois, spoke this afternoon, taking the Republican line of argument on the respective rights of the President and Senate in the matter of appointments and pa pers relating to the same. According to a resolution adopted to-day the House will investigate charges preferred by Gen. Browne, of Indiana, , against employees and in volving members, in the matter of an improvement on the Ohio river, known as the Jeffersonville, Indiana, appro priation, of the 48th Congress. : The Committee on Ways and Means to-day took up the Morrison tariff bill for detailed consideration, beginning wim tne paragrapns relating to lum ber, which were agreed to in each case party vote of 8 to 4, members voting in the the negative. : Mrs. Bancroft, wife of George Ban croft, fhe historian, died at her home in.this city at half-past nine o'clock last night, at the advanced age of 82 years. Funeral services will be held Thursda" mdrningat 11 o'clock. She was born in Plymouth, Mass. Al though married for many years to Mr. Bancroft, he was her second husband, and by him she had no children. She had two sons by her first husband, one of whom is Col. Alexauder Bliss, of this city, and the other, resides in San L Francisco. Captain James Iredell Waddell, Commander of the famous Confede rate cruiser Shenandoah, died at An napolis last night, aged 62. A native of Orange county, he went to the Na val Academy jfnd was graduated with the -class of 1849. He resigned his commission when the war began, and accepted one in the Navy of the Con federacy. As Captain and in com mand of the Slienandoah his services to the Southern cause were untiring and distinguished. He was a terror to the merchant marine of the North. At the conclusion of peace Captain Wad dell was in the far arctic seas and of course out of the track of news He continued therefore for several months his'depredations on whalers, but hear ing of the surrender he finally made for the port of Liverpool and gave up nis vessel to the English government. It was turned over to that of the Uni ted States. I was in the harbor of Liverpool while the Shenandoah was there in the late fall and early winter ot 1865, and have a lively recollection of the sensation caused by the appear ance of the world-renowned cruiser. Several years afterward Capt. Wad dell returned to this country. As is well know, James Iredell Waddell was a cousin of Alfred Moore Waddell, of Wilmington. One" or two prominent members of this family adorn every generation of our State history. Arrivals during the past three days: Dr. Moye, of Stantonsbiirg; Mr. H. H. Munson and son, H. P. Munson; Mr. and Mrs. Emerson of Wilmington; Col. W. F. Beasley, of Oxford; Mr. Thomas McMahen, of Greensboro; C. R. Anderson and W. H. Chase. Mr. Munson says that the people of Wilmington are not by any means discouraged. They went right to work rebuilding and he thinks that the fire will be, on the whole, and in the end, beneficial. The last fire was not very destructive. Mr. Munson regards the Central Market here as the finest in the country in all its appointments. Gen. R. E. Colston will deliver his Soudan lecture at Chickering Hall, New York, before the Geographical Society, on Thursday evening. Senator Vance's absence in Louisi ana Will prevent the consideration in the District Committee, until his re turn, of the case of Matthews. It is Understood that the Committee in deference to the wishes of the people of Washington, will report adversely on the nomination, but that it will, nevertheless, be confirmed. . C. W.
