THE QOLDBBOBO MESSENGER, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 1886. WAlt IN PROSPECT. Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria Backed by Germany and England London, August 31. The Cable News correspondent telegraphs to the Time : V , To-night I learn details.of what the world is likely to learn, much to its excited interest, within a few days. The . conclusion that my informant draws from it all is that the greatest war of the century is close at hand. The facts come in pait from a gentle man who dined at Jugenheim, with Battemberg's father Saturday night ; in part from a diplomat tempo rarily here for purpose of cbnsul tation. First of all, ; the secret of the Frazensbad interview, about which not a guess has been made by "a; single journal of Europe, is that M. de Giers urged Prince Bismarck ear nestly to prevent Alexander's return to Bulgaria. Bismarck declined to commit himself, took the matter ad "referendum, and shortened the inter Tiew almost abruptly. A great amount of telegraphing between Berlin, Vienna, London, Rome and Constan tinople ensued, for more than the little Grazensbad office ever dreamed of before. Whether M. de Giers got an answer before his unexpectedly hasty departure is not known, but the result was that rnnce Alexander was not restrained from coiner to Bulgaria. Mr. Lascelles. the British consul- creneral. who was SDendiiijr his vaca tion here, started post-haste for Sofia the same night to represent .kngiisn interests in the trving time now at hand. This is a hint that Sir Wil liam White, who ouerht never to have been removed from Constantinople, will go there next week as a temporary aid to the slow bir Ldward lhornton. Mr. Cascelles hastens, as does Prince Alexander, to forestall the fire eater, Dolerorouki. who is reported to be on the way to Sofia. He will be received cooly, with strict courtesy, not affront ed, not recognizd ; but there is a doubt whether he will reahy go to Sofia. Instead, secret information here is that he is likely to go to Athens, and thence to Macedonia. It is known Russian gold has been going in great quantities through Greece to foment a rising in Macedonia, which is expect ed daily. I learn that it is believed to be cer tain that the pressure of Germany, Austria and England has gained Turkey over once more, and that the porto will authorize Alexander as a tributary prince to enter Macedonia, subdue it, and incorporate it as a part of his dominions held under the porte with the view of an eventual kingdom of Bulgaria. Against this plan is set the practical certainly that Russia will attempt to occupy Bulgaria, when she will be resisted by Austria, Turkey, Roumania, Bulgaria and Servia. This w;l enable Germany to hold aloof, kpph Pranp.fl in awe.'' and satisfv th f kaiser, whose scruples' have long de layed a collision between the Teuton and Muscovite. My informant lays great stress upon the strength and sufficiency of these scruples, but be lieves that tho kaiser, in wrath at the piratical indignity offered to Prince Alexander, has consented to let the Austrains and Turks undertake the task of chastisement. . In the short, heated diplomatic work coming Eng land is believed to be ready to assume the lead, and it is felt far more prob able than it was on Saturday that eventually she will take a hand m the fight. It is a delicate thing to predict such a vast collision. I would not Jream of doing it on my own poor responsibility, but it is a serious fact that the most trusted men, in the Eng lish foreign service believe to-night that war correspondents of London papers start for Bulgaria to-morrow. TURKIS HOriNION. Constantinople, August 31. Turkey does not intend to abandon her position of armed observation, and great military measures are being taken. The recently disbandedrediffs have been recalled. Tabir Pacha, com manding at Adrianople,has been order ed to re-occupy all the strategical posi tions held during the last crisis, and in structions have been sent to Salonica to hold the troops in readiness for departure at the shortest notice. All departments are ordered to send their available cash to the war office, and a loan is being contracted from the local banks of half a million on-the security of tithes. Everything de pends on the attitude the new Bul garian erovernment maintains. Its constitution shows clearly the com plete ascendancy of the Prince' s party. I have just held a conversation on this subject with a gentleman who knows Bulgaria thoroughly, Doctor Long of Roberts college. His opinion is that the Bulgarians, if left to them selves, will re-elect Alexander. More than two-thirds will vote in his favor should no occult coercive measures be (employed to prevent it. Russia, how ever, is gregtly feared. Unless Euro pean support be given in the present instance she will obtain the appoint ntent of her nominee from a convic tion of the utter hopelessness of a struggle with a power which always manages, sooner or later, to effect her purpose. FREMONT LETTER. Fremont, N. C, Aug. 3186. Editor Messenger : Sheriff Grantham was in our town last Saturday, looking after business pertaining to his office, as gentlemanly, affable and polite as ever. We must ignore the preferment of personal friends for the good of our country. Our God, our families, and our country, on its altar sacrifice every personal ambition for its good. Let it be widely proclaimed, that the ex perience and teachings of a Republi can form of Government prove noth ing so alarmiugly suggestive of and pregnant with danger, ai that cheap suffrage involves, and entails cheap representation. One party or other must begin the work of administering the goverment on business principles, though it cost salt tears to many poli ticians. Government was instituted for the good of the people. In the name of God they demand reform, retrenchment and an econo mical use of the public funds. Therefore they demand honest of ficials, and public monies applied to the purposes, for which they are col lected. , . . . We want the primaries run in the interest of the people, and not schem ing politicians. We want the people received that benefit from government, which it was intended they should. ; Mr. Editor? we don' t want office seekers, party pets, nor no other kind of pets for office, but want the people to make their own selection, and hope they will take interest enough in coun ty affairs to attend the primaries, and convention ior tnis one tning, io mase their own selection. If they do not and the selected candidates don't sui them, thev can't blame no one bu themselves. One day will not be much, so I hope to see the convention large ly attended bv all classes. 1 see a cor respondent of the Argus says he is sat isfied with Mr. F. M. Aycock in the Legislature. His wife is so well satis fied with him she is going to keep him at home farming: he is a most excel lent farmer, and likes it better than a legislative life. I don't take the bid. One Aycock in the field, at the time is enough. Some correspondent brings forward Mr. Broadhurst for Sheriff. We prefer Mr. Avcock, because we believe he will make the better Sheriff, Dick Ward, says if he gets it for one year the people will keep mm in ail the time; Aycock says not, he believes in rotation. To the astonishment and delight of her friends Mrs. B. F. Scott passed the crisis successfully and is now im proving. Mr. M. F. Jeffreys has commenced a large two story building. When com pleted will be the largest and most im posing dwelling in town. Ihe tobacco men m this neighborhood, are curing this week a fine rellow color, and all that is large enough for good wrappers will bring fancy prices. Next year we hope to have a tobacco warehouse and factory for putting up smoking and chewinsr. There is plenty of hne tobacco land in this section and there is more money in it than cotton. Our ginners are getting ready tor the cotton. Mr. Ward has a taw mill attached to his grist mill and cotton gin. Mr. Rufus Short and family, have retuned from Washington, N. C, where they spent several days very pleasantly. Rufus is one of the Messrs. Aycock Bros. & Co's., most popular clerk. A good many young ladies have visited our town for the last few days. Our boys are completely carried away with their beauty and bewitching smiles. They have left an aching void nothing else can fill. Jonathan Hooks, one of our most gallant and cleverest boys, says, the softest, sweetest, music box, he ever heard, is womans rosy lips. You are right Jonathan sit down. There is a young man in town so modest and bashful, when he falls in love with a girl can't pop the question, but sits and sings: Ever thus from childhoods hour I have seen my fondest hopes decay, I never loved a girl or flower But some other fellow stole them away. Mrs. Dinkins, the mother of Jack, is very dangerously sick. The famous Toisnot base ball club with the best players from that sec tion, came down on Monday to play our boys, anticipating an easy victory but they knew nothing of the material of which our boys are composed. Fre mont cleared them up, twenty-three to eighteen. Our boys have not yet been beaten. The valliant captain, knows how to handle his men, and they are determined not to know de feat. The ladies favored the occasion with their presence and cheered the boys with their smiles. The Toisnot- ers went back home, wiser, if not bet ter men. Nahunta. STATE ELECTIONS FOR '8G.

John Fiske In the Atlantic Monthly for Sep tember. Until 17oa no national coinage was established, and none was issued until 1793. English, French, Spanish and German coins, of various and uncertain value, passed from hand to hand. Beside the nineoences and fourpence ha'-pennies, there were bits and half-bits, pistareens, picayunes and fips. Of gold pieces there were the iohannes. or ioe. the doubloon, the moidore, and pistole, with English and French guineas, carolins, ducats and chequins. Of coppers there were English pence and half -issued at local mints in Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey and Penn sylvania. The English shilling had everywhere degenerated in value, but differently in different localties ; and among silver pieces the Spanish dol lar, from Louisiana and Cuba, had begun to supersede it as a measure value. In New England the shilling had sunk from nearly one fourth to one sixth of a dollar ; in New York to one eighth ; in North Carolina to one tenth. It was partly for this reason that in desiring a national coinage the more uniform dollar was adopted as the unit. At the same time the decimal system of division was adopted instead of the cumbrous English system, and the result was our present admirably simple cur- a ri rency, which we -owe to ijouverneur Morris, aided as to some points by Thomas Jefferson. During the period of the confederation, the chaotic state of the currency was a serious obstacle to trads, and it aftorded endless op portunities for fraud and extortion. Clipping and counterfeiting were carried to such lengths that every moderately cautious person, in taking payment in hard cash, felt it necessary to keep a small pair of scales beside him and carefully weigh each coin, after narrowly scrutinizing its stamp and deciphering its legend. In view of all these complicated im pediments to business on the morrow of a long and costly war, it was not strange that the whole country was in some measure pauperized. It is ques tionable if the war debt could have been paid even under a more efficient system or government. Ihe cost ot the war, estimated in cash, had been about one hundred and seventy mil lion dollars : and probably not more than thirty million dollars of this ever got paid in any shape. The repudia tion was wholesale because there was really no money to be had. The peo ple were somewhat in the condition of Mr. Harold Skimpole. In many parts of the country, by the year 1786, the payment of taxes had come to be re garded as an amiable ecentricity. At one moment, early in 1782, there was not a -single dollar m the treasury. That the government had in any way been able to nnish the war, alter the downfall of its paper money, was due to the gigantic efforts of one great man Robert Morris, of Pennsylvania. This statesman was born in England, but he had come to Philadelphia in his boyhood, and had amassed an enor mous fortune, which he devoted with out stint to the service of his adopted eountry. Though opposed to the De claration of Independence as rash and premature, he had, nevertheless, signed, his name to that document, and scarcely any one had contributed more to the success of the war. It was he who supplied the money which enabled Washington to complete the great campaign of Trenton and Prince ton. In 1781 he was made superin tendent of finance, and by dint of every imaginable device of hard pressed ingenuity he contrived to sup port the brilliant work which began at the Cowpens and ended at York town. He established the Bank of North America as an instrument by which government loans might be negotiated. Sometimes his methods were such' as doctors call heroic, as when he made sudden drafts upon our ministers in Europe after the manner already described. In every dire emergency he was Washington's chief reliance, and in his devotion to the common weal he drew upon private resources until he became poor, and in later years for shame be it said an ungrateful nation allowed one of its noblest and most disinterested champions to languish inn debtor's prison. When we Demoralize the Stomach By excesses or imprudence in eating, we cannot hope to escape the consequences for any great length of time. The most robust digestion must succumb to abuses of that important function. But supposing that we have been foolish enough to en feeble the stomach, is the damage irrepar able ? By no means. The dyspeptic has only to do two things to insure his ulti mate recovery. First, he should a dopt an easily digestible diet. Second, he should use with regularity and persistence Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters, the leading gas tric invigorantof the age. , Themaltiform symptoms of dyspepsia, and the almost invariably attendant disorders, bilicusness and constipation, will assuredly cease to persecute the sufferer if the above advice is attended to. Who that has suffered the torments that chronic indigestion inflicts will neglect to take advantage of a remedy which, if the most positive evidence of the medical profession and the public is to be received with due credence, is an absolute specific for the complaint. "My dear," he said, "what is the difference between ingenious and in genuous!' ' 'The difference between u and i, my lave," she replied, and he scratched his head for a-diagram. ADVICE TO MOTHERS. Are you disturbed at night and broken of your rest by a sick child suffering: and crying1 with pain of cutting- teeth ? If so, send at once and get a bottle of Mrs. Winslow's Sooth ino Syrup fob Children Teething. Its value is incalculable. It will relieve the poor little sufferer immediately.. Depend up on it, mothers, there is no mistake about it. It cures dysentery and diarrhoea, regulates the stomach, and bowels, cures wind colic, softens the gums, reduces inflammation, and gives tone and energy to the whole system. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup fob Chtj drin Teethinq is pleasant to the taste, and is the prescription of one of the oldest and best female, nurses and physicians in the United States, and is for sale by all druggists through out the world. Price 25 cents a bottle. feb25-lyt BUMMSB GOODS.
