Address THE MESSENGER PUBLISHING HOUSE, J. A. BONITZ, : : : Proprietor, goldsdo It o, n. c. THURSDAY, - - DECEMBER 2, 186 Hon. Jefferson Davis attended the performance of the Abbot Opera Com pany in Memphis, Tenn., Wednesday niht. When he- entered the theater the audience rose and cheered for sev eral minutes. J o temnt to co as far as it is said It 1 r- will the arrest of Parnell it will have undertaken a job in the execution of which it will require all its le sources. It is said that Sitting Bull prevents the Crow Indians from accepting land in severalty. Now if the government will make reeling perpetually reclin ingBull of him in-, some quiet shady nook in sight of the happy hunting grounds of his fathers, and not far fiom the scenes of his bloody industry on the Rose Bud, the country will heave a sigh of relief and sing an ode of gratitude. The good Indians are the dead Indians, the novelist Cooper and our lamented poet "H. H." to the contrary notwithstanding. Some idea of the nastiness of the Colin Campbell divorce case, which convulses aristocratic society in Lon don, may be derived from one of the statements telegraphed to American newspapers. After the trial had pro ceeded for several hours the manager of an evening paper in London sent a message to his reporter at the ccurt complaining of the slowness with which his reports were coming in. The reporter replied that he had neen sit ting several hoursinibbling at his pen, hoping that some word fit for publica tion would be uttered by the many witnesses. The regular army officers who have been examining the militia of the States and territories have reported commending the efficiency of the res pective organizations. They think however, that the armed militia of the country would be doubled if Congress would appropriate annually a much . a larger sum to be distributed among the States for improved arms and ac coutrements. In the letter case it is estimated that the militia would con sist of 300,000 well drilled men, who could be called into active service at a moment's notice, and would be almost as effective at tle" outset of a war as the regular. . Costa Rica sends a little man all the way to Washington to make a model for her of the Duteh-tile extrav aganza known as the National Mu seum. one might nave saved money by blind-folding a ten year old mestizo and supplying him with copious quan tities of red pencils and blank paper. But that is not the worst of it. Mex ico, Brazil and the Hawaiian Islands are to follow suit. N. B. The Mes senger is reliably informed that the architect of . the National Museum and that other brilliant genius, the archi tect of the Pension Office, walk about Washington in broad daylight and the price of dunce-caps remains the same and the quantity of inhabited eggs is undiminished. A correspondent in the North Car olina Presbyterian, speaking of South ern Mthodl-mi, says: "Its growth in numbers has been rapid. If we mis take not, after the war its membership was between 4UU,uuu and duu,uuu; it is now 990,000, or in round numbers 1,000,000 white members. During the last four years its net gain was 130, 000; that is it has added on a number equal to the whole Southern Presby terian Church. There is hardly a doubt that within the next generation it will number 2,000,000. In Texas it has six conferences. In the Birming ham (Ala.) District, in one year, nine teen new churches were built. Around one of our smaller churches in South Carolina in the course of a few years four new churches were organized and buildings erected. The "log houses'' of the primitives have given way to the largest and handsomest of brick churches in the land. The preachers are now largely college graduates. Each State has lits Methodist college with 100 to 300 students, and its uni versity is among the best endowed in in the land Tfhe Theological Hall has fifty to seventy-fivej young preachers. In the Southwest it controls a very large proportion of the female col leges.

BONITZ, COMPTBOLL.ER AND THE CURRENCY.: ... :,; The Messenger has profound res pect for Col. William L. Trenholm, Comptroller of the Currency at Wash ington, as it has for the memory of his illustrious father,. the Secretary of the Treasury of the Confederate States. And that respect is not abated, but if possible increased, by the difference of opinion tvhich exists between the two schools of finance to which we re spectively belong1. Col. Trenholm is an anti-silvente. He believes in a gold standard. The Messenger's views on the subject are well known to its readers. We are for a durable standard, as all our democratic fathers were. In the outline of Comptroller Tren holm forthcoming annual report which is before us, there are many points touching the currency tcf which we would like to allude. But passing over everything else; we come to the one great question of finance, which is beginning to stir the minds of states men and financiers and ivhich some of bur esteemed contemporaries treat with an ability and fulness quite be yond our resources. The Comptroller says that there are 2,850 national banks in operation. The total num ber of shares is over 7,000,000; there are 223,009 shareholders.' More than 90 per cent, of all the stock is held in Uha Kfora mhoratho hanl-e ova InutaH ana more than 91 per cent, of the amount and over 9G per cent, of the number of shares are held by natural persons; and of the corporations, he says, the greatest amount is held by savings banks, trust and insurance companies. The contraction of the national bank circulation during the year exceeds $5G,000f000. Aggregate deposits have increased from $522, 000,000 in January, 1S66, to $1,173, 000,000 in October, 1886, while loans and discounts have risen from $500, 000.000 to $1,443,000,000. These banks hold in this year of grace $150,000,000 in specie; whereas twenty years ago, in their infancy, they held $197,000, 000. The amount of specie held in July, 1885, was $177,000,000. We are anxious to see the report. No synopsis, and especially no ' mere list of figures strung out as above, without illustration or comment, is comprehensible. The great fact of all the facts . presented here is that mere nas neen during ine year a con traction of the currency of more than fifty-six millions. To newspaper cor respondents the Comptroller has de clined to say what suggestions with regard to this fact he has made. But it is pretty well understood that he has taken strong ground in favor of a retention of the national banking sys tem, which he has fortified by a for midable array of facts and figures, showing how valuable the system has become to the entire country and how important it is that it should be con tinued and made adaptable to the growing needs of the West and South, whose vast natural resources awaic development by the aid of outside capital. It may be stated then as true that the accomplished financier from South Carolina, now one of the heads of the Treasury Department of the United States, is an advocate of the continuance on a modified basis of the national banks. When the full report appears, we shall know what specific measures he recommends for attaining this end. IRISH AFFAIRS. We find in recent correspondence from London some facts of great sig nificance. It. would appear that mat ters are coming to a focus. The de termination of the. Salisbury govern ment to root out the props of the Irish people, a free press and freedom of political action in associations like the Land League, brings virtual war be tween the Irish and the British gov ernment. The fire has burned all along, but the smothered flames are now to burst forth. Gen. Buller, whose moderate course has won him many friends in Ireland, is to be recalled and a policy of coer cion adopted. Churchill seems to have changed front and fallen in line with the older Tories. Meantime the speech of Earl Spen cer is not without encouragement. In the Liberal conference at Leicester, he spoke positively on the subject of home rule, he of whom some doubts had been expressed. Earl Spencer said that he regretted the rent that had beeu made in the party, but the policy of home rule had sunk deep in to their hearts and he hoped that they would march finally to victory as a party, bringing about on the soundest basis a durable union with the Irish people. It seems to us that the "fact that a minister or envoy cannot drink a little too much cold tea without scandal izing his government and all the peo ple shows how temperate and moral our times are compared with former periods. The good olci times never existed; the future only is golden and rosy-hued without sin, shame and suffering. A Surprise For Christmas.

THE THE INDIANA SENATOBSHTP - The democrats have failed in the instances in which. they have under taken to siibvert the will of the.people as declared' at the polls. But with hardly an exception the . republicans have succeeded. . The democratic par ty never has stolen the Presidency, and never knew how to go about doing it; certainly as long as the republican party exists the democrats will . never steal that office. These; considerations are pertinent to the state of things in Indiana, where, it would appear, the republicans are preparing to appro priate the United States Senatorship According to the returns the demo crats have two majority on joint bal lot. This ought to insure the choice of a democrat. But it will not, in al probability, mere seems to be very little if any doubt that the democrats have honestly won the right to give Senator Harrison a democratic sue cessor. But might makes right, and fraud is not just now' "first triumph ant," &c, as the late. Charles Francis Adams said of Tilden's counting out. The democrats have the Senate, or smaller branch of the Legislature,. and the republicans the House of Repre sentatives. There are four contested seats in the House and six in the Sen ate, which state of facts again looks as if the democrats had honestly car I 1 -V A ried the election, isut appearances are often deceitful, and the heathen Chinee of republicanism is awfully peculiar. The republicans have elect ed a Lieutenant Governor, who wil preside in the Senate. We all remem ber the rulings by which a republican Lieutenant Governor of Ohio unseat ed, last year, a democratic majority by a series of rulings that would not bear scrutiny and would not have been tolerated by a more sensitive public. With this experience in mind, it will not do to count upon electing beyond peradventure a United States Senator on an apparent majority of votes. The democrats, however, face the unpleas ant situation by a bold claim that there was no vacancy and the repub lican shall not take his seat. They say that the president pro tem. of the Senate is entitled under the constitu tion of Indiana to fill out the unex pired term of the Lieutenant Governor in whose place Robertson was elected. On this head we refer to interesting, but not wholly conclusive article, re printed elsewhere from the Richmond Dispatch. It seems to the Messenger that there ought to be some way in which the law could be brought to bear, and if it sustains the democrats to keep Rob ertson out of the seat. We would ask only for what is lawful, without regard to tne etiect or tne settlement upon the question at issue. What the Dit- paicn says about an injunction is shrewdly in point, and we do not ex actly see how the man elected to an office will be kept out of it, even if there be no vacancy which he can law fully fill: Yet we think the democrats of Indiana would be justified, if they have law on their side, in refusing to permit Robertson to preside. How they will do so is for them in their wisdom and opportunity to decide One thing is clear, it is about time for democrats to stop tamely submitting to the robbery which republicans seem willing ever to perpetrate in party interests. One word more. If the democratic Senate shall decline to have the ser vices of Mr. Robertson, and he shall attempt by judicial process to get what he claims, the question will then come before the State Supreme Court for adjudication. The last session of the present Con gress meets next week. If they will go about matters of legislation in the right way and in the right spirit they can do much they failed to do at the last session, and make better some things that they did do. The demo-' crats, having a majority in the House, should certainly formulate some bill to meet the Labor question which is compelled, to enter prominently into the next Presidential election. If they fail to do (so the disadvantage to the democrats will be immense. The annual report of Col. William L. Trenholm, Comptroller of the Cur rency, will suggest various amend ments of the national bank laws. The report will 'state that three thou sand five hundred and eighty national banks have been organized, of which 2.858 are now in operation; of these 174 have, been organized during the pajt year, witli a capital of $21f000,000. Twentj'-four banks went into volun tary liquidation during the year, one ceases to exist by expiration of char ter and eight failed. Since the begin ning of the system in 18G3 only 112 national banks have failed. Of these thirty -eight have paid their creditors in full and twenty have paid interest, besides fifteen in full and five in part. The contraction in national bank cir culation during the year exceeds $56, 000,000. The aggregate deposits in the banks have increased from $522, 000,000 in January, 1866, to $1,173, 000,000 in October, 18S6, while loans and accounts hare risen from $500, OOO.OOflLat the former date to $1,413, 000,000 at the latter date. The specie held by the national banks in 1866 was $19,000,000,' in October, 1875, it was only $8,000,000, while in July, 1885, it was $177,000,000, and it is now $156, 000,000. For Good Fare and home-like comforts, the "Maltby House" of Baltimore is un surpassed, and the terms are surprisingly low. OlTR - WigHlHGW W CLAIM OF THE MARSHALS AND OTHERS. Action of the District Commis sioners in the Police Scandal Other General News. (Staff Correspondence of the Messenger.l Washington, Nov. 27. The action of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia in- squelching the police scandal by punishing all parties to it may seem at first glance crude in art and unjust to the parties not guilty. But just there is the knotty point. Nobody knows who was guilty, or rather most guilty; for to a- man not committed to any theory and not pre judiced either way it would look as if everybody connected with the affairs deserved official decapitation. The street opinion here is adverse to the Commissioners' judgment, but that fact proves nothing. The Commis sioners were probably actuated by conuicting motives, out 1 dare say their work will result in good, what ever is now thought of the matter. Congressmen take no interest in the current discussions over the judg ment, as they are generally pleased with the same, and thre is no longer any necessity for an invest.gation. Petitions for the reinstatement of St: Arnyld and Kelly are circulated and largely signed. In a card since his resignation, Maj. Walker says that ex detectives were behind th efforts to uproot his management. An indignation -meeting was advertised for to-night. The district attorney, by direction of Attorney General Garland, filed yesterday a bill in equity against all persons pretendine: to have claims in what is known as the Potomac flats. This action is taken in pursuance of an act of the present Congress Among the parties are the Kidwelly and the Marshalls, the latter descend ants of Chief Justice Marshall. The protest of Kidwell is said to be fraud. Of the nature of the Marshal claim little can be ascertained. It is stated that Robert M. Mayo, of Westmore land county, Va.,nas Died sucu a claim in favor of the nieces and nepb ews of Judge Marshall, but nothing of the matter is known at the Depart ment of Justice. It is thought that it is based upon the assumption that they are heirs of James M. Marshall, who purchased from Denny Martin Fair fax, to whom Lord Fairfax had de vised his interest as sole proprietor of grants made by Kings Charles II and James II, to Lord Culpepper, of whom Fairfax was heir. These grants in elude all of Northern Virgina be tween the Rappahanuock and Poto mac, and the entire bed of the latter river. It is the custom to print the Diplo matic, Postoffice, Army and Navy and Indian estimates before any of the bills entrusted now to Mr. Ran dall's Committee on Appropriations, That order has been observed, I un derstand, this year, but the book of estimates will page them last. Thi gives some of Mr. Randall's friends opportunity for making a false claim in uis behalf, namely, that his is the only committee that is doing anything to prepare the way tor early passage or the appropriation measures Friends of the other committees say that their work is as well advanced as Mr. Randall's. At first there was no disposition to accept hasty statements from Mexico as to Minister Manning's condition on a recent occasion. But gradually as the confirmation come in, and the matter was not authoritatively denied, the public settled down to the con viction that the climate of the city of the Montezumas was getting decidedly too overpowering for the average rep resentative, whether special or regu lar, of the United States of America. Mr. Bavard is very much worried over the matter. There is much sym pathy expressed for Judge Mann ing. One hundred and seven organiza tious, representing twenty-seven States, have applied for entry at the proposed National drill in this city. North Carolina is not repre sented among these requests. Vir- gmia is not. bouth Carolina makes two applications. The highest num-. bers are from Missouri and New York, eight each. Then come Con necticut, Tennessee and Wisconsin for six. Little Rhody wants to enter four organizations. The distribution is as follows : Three cavalry, eleven artillery platoons, five zouave corps, seven regiments of infantry, seven battalions of infantry, four bands, two drum corps, and some separate in fantry companies. A delegation from Montana will soon be here to press tor the admis sion of that Territory as a State of the Union. So far as I know, 1 was the first newspaper man who spoke of the possibility of a Democratic majority m the benate to be obtained bv ad mitting Washington Territory as a State at the approaching session. The New York papers were more than a week later, and some of them even then did not have the matter present ed in as extended form as did the Messenger and other papers for which I write. Secretary Bayard in preparing, the diplomatic and counslar estimates for the year suggests that the titles of two ministers abroad be changed. that of the ministers to the Argentine Republic and that of the minister to Belgium, and that their salaries be raised Irom $Y,DUU to $1U,UUU, They are now ministers resident; it is pro posed to make them ministers pleni potentiary. He further proposes to provide for secretaries of legation in the Argentine Republic, Belgium, Corea, the Netherlands, Roumanii, Servia and Greece, Sweden and Nor way, Switzerland and Venezuela at $1,500 each and $2;000 for their ex penses, Ihe miscreant West who assaulted Mrs Mary I. Page last Friday night in her residence surrendered at 1:30 eclock this morning to St. Gay of the city police. He told a ridiculous story about being troubled in the head and doing something he did not know what, but denied tnat be had made any confession as was reported. He states that he went to Boston and as soon as he had read an account of the affair, which was on Tuesday, he re turned to Washington. West was brought before the police court this morning. The Assistant District Attorney read the warrant of arrest which charged " that John S. West did feloniously enter the dwelling of Mary! I. Page in the night time with intent to commit a reiony." The As sistant District Attorney asked, inas much as he had not yet examined the witness in the case, that bail be set at $2,000. John H. Smyth late minister to Siberia, appeared, for the defence and went on the prispnera bond for his appearance. Bail was .fixed at $2,000 until investigation. The case was set for trial on next Wednesday. An officer of the court was sent to bring Mri. Pago, but returned with a certificate from Dr. Brora well .to the effect that the lady was still confined to her room and would not be able to appear as a witness before next week, NORTH CAROLINA NOTES.

TilE EC LET I C. 4 The December3 number of the Ec letic, which closes the volume, is worthy of notice, the articles printed being of a very interesting sort. Gold win Smith gives his notions of En gland after a prolonged absence from it. 'Our Craftsmen" is i strong pa per on the English working classes, and the article on the "Statesmen of Eastern Europe" is highly relevant to the events of to-day An article on the "Bulgarian Question," from a highly competent authority, will also attract attention. Mrs. Lynn Linton's discussion of the ' Higher Education of Woman" is a vigorous presentation of the negative side of the subiect. Other papers of interest discuss the poet Coleridge, "The Resources of Ire land," "The Women of Indian His tory," "Music and Medicine," etc. Special attention may be called to Grant Allen's discussion of the Mar riage and Love Question, suggested by Sir George Campbell's disquisition recently delivered before the British Association on this subject. The mi nor articles, stery, poems, etc.. which complete the number, are suggestive and agreeable.
