REGISTER ! It is a matter of importance to the voters of the county to see that their names are on the regictration books of rtjhe county. No new registration is required, except where a voter has changed his residence from one town ship to another since the last election, lor from one ward of the city to an other. Duet every voter who wishes to exercise his right of the ballot on the 2d of November attend to this matter at once, and see that his neighbor does likewise. i There has been another crisis in the French Cabinet. Several minis ters resigned and Freycinet's position was made shaky. And now Louisiana quarantines against Biloxi, Mississippi, which they say, notwithstanding denials by offi cials of the general government, has heen smothering there for months. Out in Utah, a few days ago, a wo man set fire to a town because the authorities would not stop the grog sellers from selling liquor to her hus band. She burned $20,000 worth of revenge. At last Jake Sharp, the bribing railway president of New York, is be hind the bars with the aldermen whom he bribed. Justice sometimes creeps like a snail, but like the snail she is ' apt to "get there." It is stated that Bartholdi modelled the face of his great statue of Liberty, which will be unveiled this week in New York harbor, from the face of his mother who is now about sixty five years of age. She resides in Alsace. The flourishing town of Salisbury, eastern shore of Maryland, was almost entirely burned down last Monday. The loss was a million dollars, about two-thirds of which was insureds The place is to be rebuilt in brick. At present the whole population is hud dled together in the houses of some workmen, rich and poor sharing alike. Mr. Gladstone publishes an ad dendum to his pamphlet on the Irish question, taking the ground that the union was never a morally binding covenant, even enemies of the present Irish nationalist movement admitting that it was absolutely wanting in the conditions which alone confer moral validity. Moreover, Ireland has never ratified the union, but has constantly fought it up to the present. Mr. Glad stone concludes that Ireland's present demand is not grounded on mere po 1 litical expediency, but it is the exer cise of the constitutional and judicial right which she possessed in 1799 and has never lost. The negroes of Duplin county seem to persist in wanting to vote for Dr. Matt. Moore- for the Senate, in spite of his recent letter refusing to hold the office even were he elected by so motley a combination. Another cir cular, just issued by A. Jtanford, colored, retains him for the Senate. Dr. Moore, in a private letter, writes us : 'I do not desire to serve in the Legislature for my own party, and have refused to allow my name to be used before the convention. I would not think of serving in a manner cal culated to disorganize by encouraging independentism, for I have always fought independents more than I did Republicans, and I expect to continue to do so.'' I shall do all in my power for the nominees, and for Mr. Korne gay in particular." y DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY, i . North' Carolina .bonds are now in strong demand in the money markets at a. good premium. So much for Democratic economy. -Under Repute lican rule the bonds of this State were worthless and found market only at from 10 to 50 cents in the dollar. We are told that not one cent of public money has been lost under Democratic rule, and it is said that the present surplus in the Treasury will warrant a considerable reduction of the State tux hereafter. Now let us compare the tax rate of the two parties. For 1871 the rate was fifty-two cents on every hundred dollars worth of prop erty, including eight cents for the asy lums, ten cents to meet deficiency in treasury on contracts made by Repub licans in 1809, and twelve cents for the penitentiary, which was incom plete. This makes the rate of taxa tion for thatyearof ordinary expenses twenty-two cents, or thirteen cents less than the Republican rate of 1869 for same purpose. The Republicans made contracts which had to be paid for by the Dem- ocratic administration. After these deficiencies in the treasury had been met, the rate of taxation was greatly reduced as follows : 1874 31.' cenis on $100 worth of propery. 1875 29,. " " " " " 1876 29 " " " " " " 1877 29 " " " . " " 1878 29' " " " 187924 " " . " 18S0 24 " " " 1881 28 1882 28 " 1 ' 1883 25 1884- 00 " lt 1885 25 " " ' 1886 -25 " " " " . " The taxes for 1881 and 1882 includ ed a levy of six cents to pay interest on the then new compromised debt. It is a remarkable fact that, though the State constitution just then adop ted, provided that the State and coun ty tax for anv one year should not ex-ceed-sixty-six and two-thirds cents on the one hundred dollars worth of prop erty, the Republican Legislature lev ied and collected from the people of the State a tax of eighty cents on every one hundred dollars worth of property in the State for State ex penses; and let the people of the State whose children are dependent upon public schools for education, remem ber that not one cent of that money so collected was intended for or applied to education purposes. It will be observed as another re markable fact that in the foregoing table the tax for 1884 is put down as nothing ! This extraordinary state of things, unknown before in the history of this or any other country it is be lieved, comes about in this way. On the first day of May, 1884, the Western North Carolina railroad paid into the State treasury $660,000, and took up its bonds (520,000) deposited there to secure the State against loss for the support of the convicts whilejin-4he employment of the road before its sale. The 'Legislature directed that upon the payment being made, the levy of twenty-five cents on every one hun dred dollars worth of property should be suspended for that year. This is one of the fruits of the sale of ihe Western North Carolina railroad. From present prospects and the wise management of our public affairs, we feel assured that the rate of taxation can how be further reduced to twenty cents. ACTS OF PIRACY IN THE UNITED STATES. Pirates ! Yes, in this last quarter of the ninteenth century, and not in China seas either. A Bangor (Maine) special says that during the fierce fire in Eastport the gangs of lawless char acters of the islands on the Canadian side of the Passamaquoddy, who have for years been smuggling goods into Maine, deserted their regular callings and set sail in their boats for the doomed town. Anchoring off the wharves out of the reach of the flames, they took their dories and rowed to shore. Then began a series of raids on the stricken people that was a dis--grace to humanity. Bodily they en tered the small town, and broke open the stores and storehouses, se lecting the most valuable merchan dise, and after loading their small boats rode out over the choppy waters of the bay, only to return as quickly as possible to renew their depreda tions. The police and fire department were powerless. The citizens organ ized the best they could, and the hu man tigers fought the very owners of the possession of property. Finally the revenue cutter Woodbury arrived, and the captain ordered all the Eng lish crafts to leave the harbor and not return. But for the timely assistance much more plunder would have been taken. It is a strange story. The Greensboro Ncrth State, the leading Republican paper of the State, is very severe upon independent Dem ocratic candidates who, while bidding for and expecting Republican votes, refuse to declare their adherence to and sympathy with the Republican party. Suggests that the self respect of Republicans would be maintained by voting for Republicans even though defeated m preference to voting for such independent Democrats. The State refers to York as such an inde- Eendent as can only be supported by democrats, as he gave all the benefit of his victory and efforts to the Re publican party. Have those calling themselves independent Democrats j r o - w Republicans? If they nave can Dem ocrats support them ? If they have not. can honest Republicans vote for themt SIGNS OF THE TIMES. Irving Hall, the smallest of the Dem ocratic factions! in New York sup ports Henry George. The others en dorse Hewitt. The Republicans have nominated Roosevelt, t All of the can didates are above the average in char acter and intelligence. But George has lowered himself by appearing on the same platform with Schwab and the worst of the anarchist gang. He has found it necessary, since the at tacks on him for going over to them, to deny that he is a socialist, but his actions being louder than his words, the people are leaving him. Yet we find that such men as Roger A. Pryor applauds his candidacy. A strange thing,"' if true, is the interview with Civil Service Commissioner Oberly, who is a Democrat of Democrats,, The paper in which it appeared, the New York Tribune, is hardly good authority for anything except the rasqality and perverseness of the Republican party. But we print the interview for what it is worth. Mr. Oberly is represented as chatting in the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York. Having assumed his fa vorite attitude of meditation, he said : "Five years from now, if we are alive, we shall see most of the demands of the workingmen incorporated m the legislation of. the country. They will not get everything, but they will get a great many things, because they are right. Many of the demands ascribed to socialism are just and the tendency of legislation is to concede them. It will not be long until contract labor in the prisons is done away with and un til there will be no children at labor under age. Many of the States have already legislated on these points. There will be careful supervision of tenement houses and mines. Event ually the railroads and telegraphs will go under the control of the govern ment, as well as similar monopolies. The telegraph will be the first step. There is no reason why the govern ment should not send my message by electricity as well as by steam. The beginning of government control of railroads may be seen already in the railroad commissions established in the several States, and in the move ment by the national government for the regulation of interstate commerce. The progress from the control of com merce to the actual control of the rail roads will be a short step. Municipal ities will own the gas works and water works, and will furnish the supply to people at cost. The cry that all these things are socialistic is scarcely worthy of consideration. They are right, whether socialistic or not." THE STOCK MARKET AND PROSPERITY. The stock market is so widely rec ognized as a barometer of general trade, that one feature ivhich it has presented of late deserves more notice than it is likely to get from the super ficial reader. Money has been quoted all the way from six to ten per cent. High money means low stocks. In other words, when moneyed men can get high rates of interest for the loan of their capital from day to day with ample security, they feel no tempta tion to buy stocks or bonds, which will net them only a slight return and are subject to considerable fluctua tions; and, as long as this class of people keep out of the market, prices cannot enjoy the greatest bouyancy. In its turn, such a state of things rests upon its own cause. High interest crowds out of the market a lot of small speculators who would like to be in it, but have not money enough of their own and cannot afford to borrow, at rates which would eat up all their profits. Thus the doors are closed to both big investors and little traders, and the middle class between these two have the business of the exchanges all to themselves. In spite of this de pressing fact, prices have shown a marvellous elasticity. There have been dull days, and days which have recorded only sags and backsets, but these have been the rare exception for a month past. The advance which the stock market has made in defiance of obstacles indicates the presence of a very real and solid confidence in business of all kinds behind the out ward manifestation. If the talk all over the country about the waking-up of trade had been merely for effect, the first serious opposition would have maimed the courage of the operators in charge of the boom. They would have preferred falling back and wait ing till the visible conditions were more favorable. There can no longer be a question in the minds of reason able men that the spell of a four years' lethargy is broken, and that the coun try its stretching its limbs and getting ready for a season of spirited work all along the line. Caution will still be wise, but not to the extent of timidity. Russia has gradually amassed a magnificent army. Inclusive of her naval forces she has at her command fully 2,488,000 combatants. The pro cess of military organization has been going on chiefly during the past twen ty years. The mam army is composed of 880 battalions, 608 squadrons and 352 batteries, making a total of 1,290, 000 troops of all arms. The reserve army is made up of 522 squadrons, 529 battalions and 116 batteries, form ing an offensive force of 664,000 men. These are ready for service at a mo ment's notice. Summer Goods. Refrigerators, Ice Cream ' Freezers, (White Mountain) will be sold cheap at Fuchtlkb & Kern's, f CHURCH MATTERS. ; ".The heading which we copy . else where along with the proceedings that follow "Sharp Debate on a Fraternal Motion" yis, suggestive. That brainy and broad-souled son of the Church Christian, Rev. Dr. Phillip Brooks, of Boston, had proposed in the General Convention of the Protestant Episco pal Church a resolution of "cordial greetings to the assembly of the Con gregational Church," in session at the same time in the same city, Chicago, and Rev. J. N: Stensbury, of northern New Jersey, had moved an amend ment by adding the words, "and we assure them that we earnestly pray for such peace and unity as is accord ing to God's will, through Jesus Christ, our Lord," and this amendment had been accepted when another northern New Jersey minister, Rev. E. L, Stod dard, reversed the effect of the whole proceeding by procuring the substitu tion of "Congregational brethren" for "Congregational Church." But it was not adopted until after considerable discussion and by a vote of only 162 to 112. These are perhaps things too high for the secular journalist, and we tremble as we pen even the state men s of the facts, for some good brother who is zealous for the princi ple involved in the final action of the convention, may in his warmth accuse us of criticising the reverent body. God forbid that we should be supposed equal to the assumption. But we adS mire intensely the lovable and elo quent Bostonian, and we have an opinion of our own, and have always had, on the subject that was discussed. 0UK WASHINGTON LETTER SUNSET COX AND HIS MOVE MENTS. The President and His Cabinet at Richmond and Bedloe's Island Personal Particulars Concerning North Carolinians. I Staff Correspondence of the Messenger.l Washington, October 19. Sunset Cox the only genuine Sunset in the world of flesh and blood, not a meta phoris m the city. He called on the President and Secretary of State to day. Mr. Cox had not decided late in the day whether he would resign as Minister to Turkey or not. But the general opinion is that he will if both of the leading "halls" nominate him as successor of Pulitzer in the 49th Congress. He is now like a fish out of water, not one of your tree-climbing fishes either, but the ordinary sort. And yet this fish is extraordinary in other respects. He's a whale soTme times, and sometimes when he is af ter a Republican shark a swordfish. The Attorney General's circular, prepared by direction of the President, and sent to the United States marshals and deputies and supervisors of elec tions, directs them to proceed in the elections approaching with caution and modeiation, but with firmness. A summary of the laws regulating their duties is appended. Two circu lars have -been prepared for district attorneys, giving them instructions. Among other things, the latter, while ordered to assist the marshals and su pervisors in the discharge of their du ties, are charged to guard against stretches of authority by the latte: officials. The circulars are more wholesome than those formerty issued by Republican attorney generals on the same subject. Times are better for the liberty of the citizen. About 7 o'clock Thursday morning the President will leave the city for Richmond with two or thiee members of the cabinet. They will return that night. Next Wednesday he will see the ceremonies at Bedloe's Island, New York Bay, when Liberty enlight ening the world will be presented for mally by its great sculptor, Bartholdi, to the people of liberty's chief coun try, the United States. It is probab'e that the vhole cabinet will be present on the oceasion. Mrs. Cleveland will not be able to accompany the Presi dent to Eichmond. The President reappointed General Dafney H. Maury, of Virginia, to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the United States of Colombia. General Maury's nomi nation last session was not acted upon by th3 Senate because, as a leading member of the Senate committee in formed me, there was not time in whict to get a meeting of the Foreign Relations Committee in order to con sider the matter. When the Senate meets, this gentleman says, there will be trouble as to confirmation. The systematic study of the earth quake returns gathered by correspond ents of the geographical survey from all portions of the area affected by the recent convulsions, is about to be un dertaken by officials of the survey un der the supervision of Capt. Clarence E. Dutton, U. S. Ordnance Corps. Two maps of the affected region now being prepared leave no doubt that Charleston and Summerville were at the focus 6f the disturbance. From this center the impulses spread in all directiors, but much faster up the At lantic coast than toward the west. The Secretary of the Treasury has issued an order that all employes of that department who are now repre sented by substitutes must report for duty by November 15th Another or der provides that drafts in the settle ment of claims must be given the claimants, and not to their attorneys. The charges against Superintendent F. M. Thorn, of the coast survey, and several officials of the survey, which have been threatened for several days, were filed Saturday afternoon with the district attorney, sworn to by Col. H. E. Coleman, who was assistant under Vincent J. Fagm, who was for a time in charge of the disbursements of the survey. The officials implicated in the charges with bupt. Thorn, are B. A. Colonna, E. M. Bache, John W. Par sons, H. G. Ogden, F. H. Parsons, Edwin Smith and C. O. Boutelle. The general charge is the issuing of false vouchers. The charge against Supt. Thorn and Mr. Colonna, it is stated, is that those . gentlemen kept upon the roll of the survey, and paid for the month of July. 1885, three men who had been absent from the office for periods of, from four months to two years, although they had been warned and knew that those men had rendered no service for the nenods named. The charges against the other defendants nf false vouchers Dnor to the incumbency of Superintendent Thorn. The charges preferred seem to be the culmination of -the., scandals which have been floating around the onset snrvfiV office. Mr. Vincent L. www w w J Fagin. who was dismissed from the survey tnrougn oupenaieuueut moru, tnnAnrs to be at the bottom of the matter, and will be, he says, the prin cipal witness. POINTS. Gen. Gordon, the Governor-elect of Georgia, is here. Memorial services in respect to the late Mr. F. S. Pigott, of Beaufort, clerk at the Ebbitt House, will be held at the Fonndry Methodist Church to morrow evening at 7:30 o'clock. He died a day or two since at his father's residence in North Carolina. The rnmor is revived that Miss J ulia Wheeler, a talented young actress of this city, grand-daughter of Col. John H. Wheeler the historian, is to marry manager Morrison, or tne otanaara Theater. New York. Mr. Mark Mathison, an employe of the Government Printing Office, for merly a doorkeeper or the .Legislature, is going to his home in Alexander county to-night on a thirty days leave of absence, which includes the elec tion.

Raleigh, Oct. 19, 1SSG. T ? the Voters of North Carolina : As propriety does not permit candi dates for judicial office in this State to plead for their election by speeches or writing, 1 beg to say a word in behalf of the Democratic candidates on our judicial ticket. Our candidates for Congress, for the legislature, for the office of Solicitor and our other can vassers have told you what Democracy has done for the State and why its rule shall be continued that it has settled our State debt; that it has re stored our credit; that it has doubled our mileage of railways; that it has given us honest government; that it has reduced our taxes; that it has giv en us good schools, that it has given us peace at home and respectability abroad, &c, &c. These facts are all true and are a sufficient reason why Democratic officers in all departments shall continue to serve us. Nothing is more important to any people than a pure, fearless and able judiciary. Such a bench we now have in North Carolina and the voters of the State must see to it that this blessing is con tinued to us. It is needless to do more tnan pronounce the names of our can didates for the Supreme Court, the jurists who now constitute that court, bmith, Ashe and Merrimon; their in tegrity, courage, wisdom and legal learning is conceded by all. Their in dustry is a marvel to the profession. Nor need anything be said in praise of Avery and Graves, who have served many years as Superior Court Judges and are known and respected through out our borders, nor of Connor, Clark, Boykin and Montgomery, whose ser vice has not been so long, but whose praises are in the mouths of the people in every county in which they have held court. The only candidate we present, who has not already served on the bench, is James H. Merrimon, or Buncombe, and his high character at home, his ability as displayed in our State Senate and his large and successful practice in the mountain counties and in the Supreme Court are sufficient guaranty of his competencv and fitness for the position. 1 would not criticise the gentlemen whose names are presented as their opponents; but I hazard nothing in saying that no well informed man should hesitate in making a choice between the two tickets, and that some of these gentlemen are unknown to the legal profession even outside the counties whose courts they attend. At one time it seemed probable that our ticket would have no opposition; but opposing candidates have been named, and it is the duty of our friends to see to it that by no accident, anv one of our candidates is defeated. And it is due to them from all law- loving voters that they be compliment ed by the largest vote ever given for any candidates in the State. R. H. Battle, Chm'n. Dem. State Ex. Com.
