BONITZ. The above announcement meets my ap proval and is entirely satisfactory. J. HOWARD BROWN. Goldsboro, N. C, August 2, 1886. A formidable labor movement in politics is on foot in Maine and Con necticut. The Knights of Labor having trou ble with the. cigar makers of New York, got wojrsted in the encounter. The cotton crop of eastern Texas is seriously threatened. Owing to rains or extremly hot weather the forms are shedding. f George W. Cable teaches truth at the Chautauqua Sunday-school, we suppose by way of making things even for the falsehood he prints m his novels about the Creoles of Louisiana. The treasurer of two big manufac turing companies at Boston was "short," the other day, six hundred thousand dollars. "Building opera tions" was his statement as to why he embezzled the money. Since 188C came in there have been G,3S9 failures in the United States, as against 7,307 in the corresponding pe-1 r, ' , r riod of 1885. The Democratic admm istration evidently has not yet ruined the country beyond repair. The Pennsylvania Democracy nom inate for Governor that sterling and able young leader Chauncy Black. He is a son of the late Jere Black, and is at present Lieut. Governor of the State. The convention made a strong platform. It is true that we can count on nothing from Pennsylvania, but it is better to have the standard of De mocracy borne by strong; and willing hands than to entrust it to those not capable or treacherous to the party's principles. Bishop Edward De Schweinitz, of the Moravian Church at Bethlehem, Pa., formerly principal of the Salem Female Seminary, has received a let ter from United States Consul-Molloy, at St. Johns, Newfoundland, in which the story of the starvation prevailing in Labrador is pronounced a huge fab rication. Detectives are Jon the track of the reporter who started the report. When they find him, we suggest that they be sent after the Sun and World correspondents who are I fabricating so many lies on the Administration at Washington. We publish elsewhere Attorney General Garland's explanation of his connection .with the PanElectric busi ness. We have heretofore spoken of this matter, and see no reason to re peat our views, but the following from the Washington; Star is a succinct statement of these views r- "On the whole, aside from the general pro priety of high government officials being interested in speculative enter prises ia regard to which they may be required to take official action, and so far as it is possible for the lay reader to comprehend legal matters, Mr.Gar land's statement appears to materially strengthen his position before the pub lic in relation to 'the affair." "'An-o-Tn TTPPfi!TVI,'R - finTTRT. - It seetn.tb;-be" generally conceded that tWo new1, judges will be nomina ted for the Supreme Court. The abil ity 6 the Bon. George V.- Strong has marked him as one of them. The convention could not do better than give the Supreme Court the benefit of his learning and experience! fvV e hope to see - him nominated next Wednes day. It is the opinion of those who know him best that for sound legal learning; and powers of profound reflection he is hot surpassed by any lawyer of the State. If vast learning, j indefatigable in dustry, an unusual, capacity for the hardest mental labor, and a peculiar power for elucidation, and withal, the highest sense of professional honor, fit a man for so exalted a position, then, m very truth, is Judge Strong eminently prepared for. the discharge of its duties. JOHNSTON. At Johnston court last Tuesday af ternoon, we learn from the News-Ob server, there being a large crowd in at tendance, Maj. John W. Graham, the Democratic nominee for Congress, opened the campaign in an elaborate and excellent speech, making his points with great clearness and vigor, and winning applause and commenda tion from the , people, who seemed to bo greatly impressed and pleased. He was followed by Capt. Btinn, who made an admirable speech, m good taste, strongly; advocating the election of Maj. Graham, and asking his friends to warmly support him at the polls. The patriotic sentiments of Capt. Bunn were warmly applauded. Gen. W. R. Cox also addressed the people in an excellent address, prom ising to do all in his power to elect Maj. Graham and calling on the peo ple of Johnston to stand by him. His speech was well received on all sides. Thn the gallant Swift Galloway, the nominee for solicitor, took the stand and made a strong address, appealing to Johnston to give Maj. Graham a bigger majority than it ever gave be fore. Swift Galloway is a popular favorite wherever he is known, and the people of Johnston will show their hearty ap preciation of him when the election comes off. There are some signs of a want of organization in Johnston, but when the campaign well opens we suppose that will be remedied. SENATORS ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE. Senators of the United States ought to be chosen directly by the people of the various States. It is a State rep resentation as effective as such as the present mode, and is much more apt to be representative of the popular wishes. The term might be the same, but four years would be better. The shorter term would make the Senate conform more nearly to the democracy of our other institutions and so would the mode of election by the people. But this is not all. The popular election would make it almost impossible for the rich corporations to control legislation. The Senate' is corporation-ridden. See almost any vote, selected at random from the Record or Journal. The vote on the Beck bill to prevent Senators from ac cepting retainers from Government aided railroads, is a case in point. The attitude of Senator Van Wyck is pertinent. He is a foe to those cor porations which seek to use the legis latures of country in behalf of meas- nrno in tttVi i nTi 4-Iioit Vi o tra on infavai'f . , , , ; I As his term nears its close, he finds that they are trying to defeat him. Knowing his power among the masses in Nebraska, he appeals to the people to exercise the right which the Con stitution of the State gives to them, namely, to vote directly for their Sen ator. We see a good deal m the papers about a farmers' party movement in Arkansas called "The Wheel." It is said to number 55,000 and to comprise only people engaged in agriculture. The movement expects to extend its operations into other States. The Messenger, while as good a friend to the farmers of this country as they have, deprecates this sort of thing. Classes of citizens should not go as such into politics. It is contrary to all sound public policy to have party lines drawn in that way. In the South and the West at. least the Democratic party is the farmers' friend, and every where we ' think that agriculture has more to expect from that party than from any other. The Governor of Texas may be mis represented by some of the interview ing papers. But if he is correctly re ported, he is a thoroughly wild man. To a correspondent of the Tribune, in regard to his request for troops, to the Secretary, of War, he is represented as saying: "I received a response in forming me that the interests of our people would be cared for by the gov ernment, but that there was no occa sion for moving any troops. My re sponsibility to the people of this State is just as binding as ever. Should such raids be made as are threatened, the Governor of this State is not bound to wait for a declaration of warbefore protecting his people. On the con trary, it is bis right and duty not only to repel invasion, but to pursue, cap ture and punish the offenders, even tnough the boundary lines have to be crossed to accomplish it." . ,i. . i. .ii t.. i ! ." 1 1 - - r m . a a . --- THE CONVENTIONS AND THE PRESIDENT. The administration of " President Cleveland'has been very generally en dorsed by the State and district Dem ocratic conventions all over the coun try. In Ohio, where it has been said that as much opposition to his policy prevailed as anywhere else, the chair man of the State convention described the President as a second, Washington in purity of character, as wise as Jef ferson and as. brave as Jackson. The platform endorsed most cordially the administration of Mr. Cleveland, and that declaration brought hearty and continued applause. It approved ' 'the prompt, firm and - vigorous action of the State Department and the present Democratic administration in the pro tection of American citizens in foreign countries." Delaware, too, although the Salis bury, or anti-Bayard wing seemed to be in the majority, expressly endorsed the Federal Administration. At a later day, Pennsylvania most cordially approved the President's course. - Certainly this is the right thing to do. If we do not uphold a Democratic President who is doing his duty ably, faithfully and with the utmost vigor, how long do you suppose will we have a Democratic administration ? THE BOSS DEFAULTER. Gray, the Boston treasurer, who stole six hundred thousand dollars from his employers, two companies of manufacturers, seems to have been a man of hobbies and extravagant ideas about private expenditures. He took the money from time to time as he wanted it, and when the defalcation was discovered, went off and shot him self. Gray was a man of - fifty-five years of age, and a large family. He moved in high life and lived in corres ponding style. His fate is a warning to those rash, improvident and dis honest men now, alas, legion who try to keep up with the world by ap propriating that which does not belong to them. It seems he left Boston empty handed, the moneyhe took having been pent during the years he was speculating and, keeping a yacht. Gray was assessed for $152,550 real and $15,000 personal property. It has been a common remark for fifteen years that his real estate was mort gaged for twice that sum. The Atlan tic and the Indian Orchard mills have each placed attachments on Gray's property for $30,000. His famous yacht, the Huron, has cost him $50, 000 and would sell, for about $10,000 now. It cost him nearly his whole salary of $10,000 a year to run the yacht, and his living expenses were yery high. He was "one of the syndi cate of men who built the Puritan last year to defend the American cup. It took 200 men two years to fit up his country place. He had hot houses, fruit, and every accompaniment to a fine residence. He next took a turn in the. direction of horticulture, and raised some of the finest flowering plants in that section of the country. Two or three years later Gray became interested in hens, and went into them with his usual extravagance. He had every species of hen known; This venture cost him many thousands. His next hobby was -horses and car riages. He bought eight or tei fine horses and purchased every kind of carriage which had been built ip to that time. This hobby prevailed for two or three years, and then he went into yachts, and from yachts to rail road stocks. These latter had taken their place in his career, even in early years, but they never became a hobby till within five or six years. THE WOODRO W EVOLUTION CASE AGAIN. The first of the trials that Professor Woodrow has to undergo on the charge of heresy, for teaching the doctrine of evolution at Columbia Theological Seminary (Presbyterian Church), has just taken place in the Augusta Pres bytery at Bethany. His case, dis cussed before the seven presbyteries concerned, last year, is now to be ad judicated. The presbyteries will each hold a trial. In the first one he is tri umphantly acquittedl On the final vote thirteen voted "not guilty" and nine "guilty"; on the first count, and a large number on the other count sustained the defendant. Dr. Adams, of Augusta, who conducted the prose cution,3 gave notice of appeal to the Synod, which meets at Sparta. Ga., in October. K .... - j " -, " - ' -; a. ' In the trial mentioned Dr, Woodrow behaved with his accustomed spirit. He frequently interrupted Dr. Adams with questions while the latter was under examination. This has been one of the most re markable cases ever before the courts of the Southern Presbyterian Church. A learned Professor ; of Theology is arraigned on a charge of heresy in teaching" that a scientific theory is not, if admitted, necessarily subversive of belief in revealed truth as found in the Scriptures. He defends himself with great energy and ability before many diff erent tribunals. Dr. Wood row does hot appear to hold that evo lution is proven; only that it is possi bly true, aud clearly fnot "inconsistent with the account of ; the creation in Genesis. r, . The progress of the case ? will be watched with interest. If a majority of the presbyteries render an adverse verdict, the distinguished defendant will be dismissed from his professor- they will. THE- -KNIGHTS AND THE Archbisnop Gibbons, interrogated as to the recent interdict of ' the Pope of the Canadian Knights of Labor, said that it did not apply to the Uni ted States properly, because the order here did not require unconditional submission, but the oath Was subject to the laws. Further, it maybe stated that the dispute which arose between the Knights and the Church had its origin in Canada, and has never ma terially Effected the two organizations on this side of the boundary line. The papal instructions in , regard to the matter -were addressed to Cardinal Taschereau at Quebec, and his dec laration to the effect that they would apply to the United States as well as to Canada may be nothing more than an individual opinon. In the absence of definite information from Rome as to this point, the Cath olic clergy and laity in the United States seem inclined to think that the Knights in Canada are the only ones included in the terms of the mandate. This is . an important matter, and it ought to be authoritatively settled as soon as possible. A prohibition from the Pope affecting so large a number of laboring men in this country as are contained in the list of Catholic mem bers of the Knights of Labor could not but have a serious effect upon our in dustrial interests, and any long con tinued uncertainty as to the facts in the cape would lead to undesirable re sults. MR. OBERLY DENIES. Civil Service Commissioner Oberly has written a long letter to the New York Tim:s, in which he defends the Commission against the charges made by several Republican Senators re cently, to the effect that the Demo cratic commissioners had m certain cases ' administered their office in a partisan and dishonest manner. Mr. Oberly's denial is very explicit and convincing. It is not to be denied that the appointment to office in Pen sion Commissioner Black's bailiwick to .which tbe bulk of the complaints referred, have had a decidedly parti san tinge, but Mr. Oberly shows that that the civil service commission was not responsible in these cases, and that it had taken measures to prevent similar complaints in the future by the adoption of appropriate new rules. In the most emphatic manner he de clares that it is the settled purpose of the commission to free the civil ser vice from all partisan taint, and to give Republicans and Democrats an equal chance under the law; and that to this end the members of the com missiou, as well as the President and all others who have any official con nection with the bureau are laboring constantly and earnestly as they pos sibly can. In this they are wise, as well as patriotic. The Messenger's approval relates entirely to the minor service and the matter of active parti sanship in the higher offices. One State after another, the Demo crats in conventions assembled sustain and endorse the President's adminis tration and policy. There is no other course. The President goes slow but sure, and he is right. A Democratic tidal wave, under the Cleveland ban ner, may be confidently looked for by 1888. Turn to the recent election of Supreme Judges in Tennessee, in which the Democratic majority was raised to 40,000 from 8,000 at the last election ; It is but a forerunner of the great tidal wave. We see that even the Republicans of Maine are trem bling with fear in anticipation of a Democratic success in that stronghold of Radicalism. All this is to be credi ited to the staunch and intrepid man hood of President Cleveland. The Ohio Democrats in their State convention at Columbus, endorsed the President and approved Mr. Bayard's defence of our citizens' rights abroad. They also declared that "taxes should not be collected beyond the needs of government economically administer ed, and that we hereby affirm the principles laid down in our last State and National platforms upon the tariff question, and demand a thorough and just revision of existing tariff laws in accordance with these principles. We heartily approve the policy of paying out the surplus revenue heretofore ac cumulated in the Treasury on the in terest bearing debt." The platform demands that both gold and silver, as established by the' Constitution, shall be maintained as the basis of our money 'system. TIG E3.

BAYARD ANNOYED I BY SHiLY REPORTS j : l The President Goes off with Mrs. Cleveland to the North Woods Porter's Candidacy. t :; ; . Staff Correspondence of the Messenjrer.'l ' Washington. August 17. The ap pointment of Webster to be principal examiner in the civil service, has giv en rise to wide comment, and determi nation of the commission to extend the application of the "rules to postoffices having carrier delivery has produced little less than a sensation among the anti-reformers. The commission is a practical body, composed of two work ing Democrats and one civil service reform Republican. All are in sym pathy with the President's policy. Failing hi other dodges, the enemies of the Administration retail all man ner of stories about the commission that certain members will resign to be appointed to other offices; that the whole commission is to be reconstruct ed, and the like. The resignation of Secretary Robert D. Graham was ac cepted to-day, and the place filled by the appointment of Mr. John T. Doyle, of New York, until now the stenogra pher. Members of the commission de ny the report that Mr. Graham was asked to resign. It seems that Mr. Graham tendered his resignation at first verbally, and then in writing. It was not until he insisted that it was accepted. He has made an excellent officer. The place is not equal to his deserts or his abilities. I hear with regard to the reported resignation of Commissioner Oberly, of Illinois, that he has no idea of being appointed to succeed Assistant Secretary Porter, or to any other position. The fact, how ever, is said to be that the salary of a civil service commissioner $3,500 is hardly sufficient for his nnmerous wants. He has seven or eight daugh ters. Mr. Oberly seems to be pleased with his duties. The President goes off and takes his wife and mother-in-law with him to the North Woods of New York, where during the melting month of August and the early part of September, al most equally warm, he will rusticate. The little party went on a speeial pal ace car the finest ever seen here this morning. During the President's absence, I understand some appoint ments of importance will be made, but there will be more or less a lull in the office-seeking business, as several of the chiefs of departments and bureaux are also away or will be absent. Secretary Bayard,! am informed, is very much annoyed at the constant and unfair attacks made upon his con duct of the State Department, espec ially in the Cutting matter. The Sec retary has been subject to an almost intolerable strain ever since the death of his favorite daughter, which was only the first of a series of personal afflictions. But it is safe to say that there is not the slightest foundation for the rumors so industriously circu lated that he will soon resign. In deed, he could not resign, whatever the imnulsion to that course. Deriding the adjustnment of our relations with Hf TT 1 i . . i i xviexico. ne was aDsent at tne unveil msr vesterdav bf the DeKalh monu ment at Annapolis. To-day a num- oer or correspondents were at the Department, some of whom saw him. but none of them thousrht it worth while to interview him with regard to the rumors , alluded to. The general opinion is that these silly reports do more harm to their originators than to Mr, : Bayard, whom they are intend ed to injure. With respect to Goy. Porter the fol lowing comes from pretty good au thority. He is not so active a candi date for the Sfmarnrshin in Ttmnoccoo as the incumbent, Mr. Whitthorne, or uov. .bate, and it is not considered necessary for him to resign the office of First Assistant Secretarv of Stato in-order to take part in canvass for tne position just mentioned. The hope of his friends is in the close antago nism between the two leading rivals. They think that the old prejudice on the part of the majority of Democrats aerainst Gen. Porter because ho was a strict advocate of the full payment of the estate debt has not entirely worn away, and that there will be no oppo sition to him on that account. All cabinet, rumors may be dismiss ed with a pocjh, a pish and a pshaw. The onlv members of the cabinet, not likely to remain is Mr. Manning, whose resignation has been in the President's hands for months. At the Treasury it is said to-day, as heretofore, that the Secretary will recover his health and return. Outside the Treasnrv T have found nobody who expresses that opinion. Gen. A. G. Sedgwick, of New York, chareed with a mission in Mexico, not exclusively confined to the Cutting lCi I 1 - l case, leu nere, aner naving received his final instructions, on Sunday niffht. Mr. Bavard. it is stated, holds that Mexico has backed down and that the mission of Sedgwick will show this. It is said that Sedgwick is ex pected to examine all the evidence, i i newspaper reports and records, and that when he reports he will find that the action of this erovernment has mo- vented the Mexican authorities from omg as far as they would otherwise ave gone. An order was issued vestfirdav tn close all the buildings of the Washing ton navy yard except those of equip ment and ordnance. For the nresent the operations will be confined to these two oureaux. 4 Senator Harris, of Tennessee, who has been ill since the Congress ad journed, came out yesterday. He counts upon an increased majority for the Democrats in Tennessea. Th majority in the last election was 40,- his native place near Chalk Level, old Granville (njow Vance) county, North Carolina, to Tennessee. He thinks he is related to the Harrisses, now resid ing in the counties of Vance and Granville. ' Messrs. Morris, Earle and Pugh, as solicitors for Attornev Genoral Oak land, have filed his answer to th bill of J. Harris Rogers, the Pan-Electric telephone inventor, against the com pany of that name. The Attorney General enters a detailed denial of all the material statements in the Rogers bill, and pronounces a portion of the matter 'scandalous and imrjertinent " He declines to answer matter of that character unless compelled to do so bv the court. Garland states that bo wa invited by several friends to aid in de- t i i. : i , t- --' ' veiupiu ceriaiu mvtyiuons oi xvogers; that he was present at the only three meeting's of the narties interested: that he has paid au the money that he i a i .1 a m agreed xo pay, ana mat ne .was lm- ztLl'A '-rUvT hn vol no nf the inven tionsrano! believed that the validitV pt 1 the patents ,Wonld v De sustameu, until that was done 'he and the co defendants decided that it ould be improper to issue any of t the stock, .ef the company. He denies that the contract with Rogers constitutes a business partnership, and asserts that it was only an agreement for the ob tainin g of a charter; that in violation of this understanding Rogers sold in terests in his stock, and that he pub lished false statements as to the de fendants and the business of the com pany. Mr. Garland then avers that in consequence of the bad faith of Rogers, he had decided in February last to inve awav hisstock in the com pany and sever all connection with it but had refrained because of the in 3 Trostication made bv the House Representatives, and that now being concluded he joins in tha desire of the complainant to wind up the affairs of the company, and renounces all claim to any benefits to which the account ing may entitle him. c Therefore he brings into court his "certificate of stock, and asks that it be cancelled or surrendered to the company or other wise disposed df as the court may di rect, to the end that he may be abso lutely rid of the complainant. He offers to account for all the money he has received from the company, and to. bring it into court if required to do so. ! Comptroller Durham has from twen ty to forty questions presented for his decision every day. Mt.ny of them are intricate and require much re search. In the Presidents absence the White House is being thoroughly overhauled. The new silver certificates, it is said at the Treasury, will not be ready for issue much before the 1st of Novem ber. ' The civil service commission has de cided that the copy holders in the La bor Bureau are properly within the classified service and that appoint ments must be made on classification of the commission. " A number of promotions in the Patent Office are announced to-day. Gen. Angust, of the Army retired corps, was shot, Sunday morning, by a desperate negro on the street, whom he expostulated with for using pro fane, boisterous and obscene language. The General is not seriously injured. Captain and Mrs. Gcrringe and two members of their family were here yesterday from Newborn. ' C. W. H. New Advertisements. MESSENGER OPERA HOUSE! J. A.
