Address THE MESSENGER PUBLISHING HOUSE, J. A. BONITZ, : : : Proprietor, OOLD8BORO, N. C MONDAY, - - DECEMBER 13, 1886. Tna House of Representatives, on Thursday last, passed a bill extending the free delivery system to cities which in addition to a population of 10,000 according to the late census, have an annual revenue of $10,000 and shall have side-walks numbered streets and houses, lighted streets, &c. It is gratifying to learn that Capt. Eads and his associates have con cluded to give up their plea for gov ernment aid, conditioned upon govern ment control, and build their ship rail way across the isthmus with their own money, in their own way, and under their own exclusive authority. This is a wise resolve. There is greater activity in rail road circles now than there has been in years. North Carolina is gradually becoming a net work of railroads. The people of the State are benBfitted by every railroad that is built witnin our borders. What we need is more railroads and more competition be tween those roads. Queen Victoria has made princi ple and nice sense of honor conspicu ous elements in her character, and we are not therefore surprised to find it stated that she has forbidden the ad mission into the household of Wind sor Castle or within the castle pre cincts of newspapers containing re ports of the Campbell divorce case. On March 4, the United States Sen ate will stand 38 Democrats to 38 Re publicans. Senator Riddleberger is outraged at his treatment by Senator Mahone and the sergeant-at-arms in the matter of patronage. He now swears that for revenge he will vote with the Democrats to oust the sergeant-at-arms, and to secure the re organization of the Senate and its committees, The Baltimore Journal of Commerce calls attention to the fact that for the first ten months of 188G the exports from every leading Southern port, with one exception, from Baltimore to New Orleans, were largely in excess of the same time last year, while at every prominent Northern port, with the single exception of Boston, there was a decrease amounting at New York to but a little less than $10,000,000. In speaking of our friend Capt. S. A. Ashe, the other day, as the editor of the News and Observer, we meant no reflection and certainly did not mean to ignore Mr. J. J. McRee, who we know does most of the editorial work on the paper since Capt. Ashe's ap pointment to the postmastership. We supposed, however, that Capt. Ashe still exercised supervision and edito rial control of the News and Obseerver, and hence used the name in the man ner we did. Somebody, has made a sensible sug gestion to the capitalists of Chicago, that a bank be established in that city for the advancement of cash loans upon personal goods such as are com monly carried to the pawnshops. This would put pawning upon a respecta ble basis, so that persons driven to the necessity of pledging small effects would not feel obliged tododge into a dingy shop and out of it again in a tremor of apprehension lest some one should see them. Ex-Governor Jarvis, Minister to Brazil, was in Washington last week, accompanied by Mrs. Jams. The North Carolina delegation did them the honor to call m a body. The Ex Governor was met by a reporter on his arrival in New York, and he and Mrs. Jarvis are both reported as de lighted with Brazil and its people, and as having greatly en joyed their resi dence among the South Americans, who look upon the United States as a model country in enterprise, even if they still have a fondness for mon archical government. Unlike the Eu ropean Portuguese, the Governor says the Brazilian people are progressive and active, and look forward with pleasurable anticipation in the near future to more intimate relations of a social and commercial character with the people of this republic. -The trade restrictions which now force them to buy from England and France in stead of America they hope to see re moyed, so that the import trade from America may soon bear the relation it should to their great export trade with this country. - ? n ; THE MESSAGE. JiSv" rt '--. y .,i v''''- ft-"--.; w..-!. .. ; In our last issue we gave an outline of the message.. Not .much more re mains to be done." "The President not only writes well, but he writes espe cially well in a message Fo the Con gress. The document, transmitted to the two houses on last Monday, was an exceptionally strong, lucid and satisfactory expression of views. The Messenger agrees pretty gen erally with the positions taken, and is not disposed to be captious in oppo sing any part of the message to which we find objecti m. On the subject of the tariff the President is as squarely with the majority of his party and Democratic traditions as the Chicago platform would admit. He wants the duties reduced to the actual expenditures of the Government, and he plainly inti mates that in his suggestions he is not governed by the fact of the mere ex istence of a surplus in the Treasury, but by considerations of equity and sound economical policy. What the President says of suspen sion of silver coinage is but a repeti tion of his former well-known views, and requires no special comment. Now leaving the message, we will say that it is the duty of the Demo crats in the House to act upon the evident wish of the people and revise the tariff. What is Morrison, what is Randall, where the will of the Ameri can public is involved ? Make a bill that can and ought to pass if the pending bill is not that sort of thing. In our opinion it is a sufficient meas ure of reform. But if any more con cession be needed, let it be made, pro vided the principle of reform be not sacrificed. What we all want is re duction of taxes. With Morrill and Dawes, protectionist Republicans, proposing eounter schemes, it would seem a favorable time for action. Now is your time, Mr. Morrison, in the closing days of your last service in Congress. THE ELECTORAL. COUNT BILL. The electoral count bill, as it passed the House of Representatives on Thursday provides that the electors of each State shall meet and give their votes for President and Vice President on the second Monday in January next after their appoint ment; that the decision arrived at by the State tribunal provided by the laws of any State for the settlement of the controversies as to the appoint ment of electors, if made six days prior to the date of the meeting, of the electors, shall be conclusive; that the Senate and House shall meet on the second Wednesday in February after the meeting of the electors to count the votes cast for President and Vice President, and, the counting haying been concluded, the result shall be entered on the journals of the two houses; that objections to a vote shall be rnado in -writing without oiguiucut, and thereupon, the Senate having withdrawn to its own chamber, both houses shall vote upon the validity of such objections, and no electoral vote, regularly given by electors whose ap pointment has been properly certified, shall be rejected if there be but one return. In case of two or more re turns, those votes only shall he counted, which have been regularly given by electors approved by the State tribunal provided to pronounce upon such a matter. If there be ques tion as to which of two or more State authorities, that have undertaken to certify electors, is the lawful authority in such a matter, those votes only shall be counted which the two houses, acting separately, shall con currently decide are supported by the decision of the state so authorized by its laws ; if, however, no determina tion has been reached by a state tri bunal in a case of multiple returns, the votes of electors certified by the executive thereof in accordance with the laws thereof shall be counted, un less the two houses, acting seperately, shall concurrently decide such votes not to be the lawful votes of the legally appointed electors. Provision is made for speedy settlement of dif ferences by continuous sessions if occasion should demand. The bill now returns to the senate for concur rence in the house amendments. It is proposed to hold two centen nials in Washington, one in 1889, in honor of the 100 th anniversary of the promulgation of the political consti tution of the United States, and the other in 1892 in commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the discovery of the new world, accompanied by the inauguration in that city of a Perma nent Exposition of the natural and in dustrial products from all the political sections of our American system. The Vienna Tagblatt, whose editor is related to Clemenceau by marriago, decribes Von Moltke's speech as half a declaration of war against France, its meaning being, Germany haying increased her army and isolated France diplomatically, to summon her by ultimatum to disarm. Another opinion almost unanimously held on the continent is that the- moment Emperor William is in his grave, the AngloKGerman-Italian alliance will be cemented, the sentimental bonds between Germany and Rnssia severed, and a great j.Russo-Austrian war, into wtrich France and her allies will be immediately dragged, will be precipi tated. In this connection the news that the Emperor has been forbidden by hts doctors - to ' leave the' palace daring the whole winter is moment" ous. . , 1. iiiT rat- nr;rr . r 9 i no d v, 1 r & c- m ; a y n h i' INTER- STATE COMMERCE. The conferees on t the - Inter-State Commerce bill have finished their labors, and will? TeDort stheir bill as soon as it can be .'printed- 4We learn from the Baltimore 5wMhat-on the question of enforcing- the -act," the commission feature of the 'Senate bill is accepted by the ! House conferees, while the Senate conferees accept the system proposed jn the "Reagan bill, under which a shipper, is entitle! to sue for damages ( in . United' States Courts in his own behalf.' . This" gives shippers the option of making com plaint to the commission or institu ting suits ' in Federal courts. Rail roads are prohibited from charging more for'a shorter than for a longer distance upon their own lines in the same direction, the shorter being in cluded within the longer distance, and the circumstances and conditions be ing the same, but the commission is authorized, upon application of a rail road and after investigation of the facts, to relieve the road from the operation of the general lule m spe cial cases. The Senate conferees agree to the absolute prohibition of pooling contained in the House bill. These were the main features of the difference. On the question of pub licity of rates, the provisions of the two bills have been merged so as to require each railroad to make public the rates between points upon its own road, as proposed in the House bill, and in addition the commission is re quired to secure publicity of through rates in so far as it may be found necessary. A FINCHBACK JUNIUS. He who writes for the North Ameri can Review over the pseudonym of "Arthur Richmond," and who is pop ularly supposed to be an imitator of "Junius," thus addresses the Presi dent : "The democratic party has been re sponsible for the government, and you have been the government. No principle of democratic polit y has been on trial. On the contrary, every re publican dogma has remained in full force and effect. The tariff, the inter nal revenue, the currency and the civil service all remain to day as your op ponents left them at the end of a quarter of a century of power. A stranger, ignorant of the local politi cal standing of members of your cabi net, might well bepuzzled to discover that the national administration had been changed from republican to dem ocratic." "The democratic party has been re sponsible sor the government," he says, in spite of the fact that the Sen ate is a part of the government and is republican; "and you are the govern ment," he further avers, with still greater recklessness of assertion. Junius got his facts right, and he aimed to do political erood. This Pinchbeck Junius knows'nothing, and his intentions are evidently bad. "No principle of democratic polity has been on trial." You have been "Arthur Richmond." "The tariff, the internal revenue, the currency and the civil service all remain to-day as our opponents left them at the end of a quarter of a century of power." Mr. Cleveland suggested; in his first mes sage, reductions of the heavy surplus revenues, lie nas done nis duty. The majority of the democratic party have done their duty. If nothing has been effected you, "Arthur ' Richmond," and men like you, who quarrel with their betters, have only to walk across the aisle of the House f Representa tives and whisper to the republicans and then back and whisper to Mr. Randall to remove the stigma that this "republican dogma has remained in full force and effect." The Presi dent and the democratic party, prop erly so considered, have not been to blame. The administration is paying off the debt, and considering the cur rency oppression which cannot be settled in a day. The present is the most honest and able administration of the Treasury the country has had in twenty-five years. Does this count for anything with the Pinchback Junius f Who is he snarlinjr at any way. Mr. Cleveland has not been guilty of a single' one of the laches he urges against the Democratic party, and which he appears to lay sol ey at the charge of the President. "The Civil Service ?" The Secreta ries, the Assistant Secretaries, in some lepartments nearly all the chiefs, have been removed. Two methods of business have been in introduced, and some reforms un doubtedly accomplished. And yet he says that the civil service remains the same as under Republican administra tions for tw enty-five years. The Pinchback Junius proves his false and contemptible nature in the asser tion. He is beneath the need of the castigation inflicted in severe English monosylable of three letters. Judge Claek, who rode this circuit with Capt. Swift Galloway in the Fall of 1885, remarked-lately that, he had never seen a better Solicitor" than Capt. Gallowayl Fearless, able and impartial, he had seemed especially intended for a Solicitor, but he had heard his debut on the defendant's side of the docket at Duplin in State . Swinson, and was; impressed with the fact tnat whether appearing for the State or for the defendant, on the criminal docket, Swift Galloway had no superior and few equals.. It? is a pity that the State loses the services or so efficient and able an officer. Solicitors' Blanks at, the Mess en ger office."

Washington. December 7. The second session of . the 49th Congress opened in a snow-storm yesterday at 12 o'clock; Three-fourths of the members of the House and forty-nine Senators were present.- Vance, Ran som," Green, Henderson, Skinner, Johnston and Cowles were all in the city, although I did not see Mr. Hen derson in his seat. -Judge Bennett is detained at home by the illness of a member of his lamily. . Leave of ab sence has been granted to him. The usual preliminaries having been gone through with, the. President's message reached the Senate at 2, and the House at three minutes past 2 o'clock. Recesses were taken in both houses while waiting for it. The document was two hours and two minutes in length as read by the House clerk, and about an hour and forty minutes long a chopped up by the Senate reader in his singular style. During the first hour it was heard with close attention, and then, as usual, the in terest flagged, and members went out, talked, read papers, &c. When the tariff portion was read, Morrison, Bol iver and others exchanged smiles. The President was with them in full force. There was a report in the press gallery early in the day that Mr. Randall had so impressed, his views on Mr. Cleveland that the mes saere would contain a recommenda tion for Ihe modification and possibly the abolition of the tobacco tax, bu the document had not a word on that subject. To-nitrht the message is claimed on both sides of the question but it is conceded by some of the high tariff men that it is distinctly agams them. The President, however avoided any specific recommendation All of his suggestions, although clearly in favor of reduction, not merely for reduction's sake, are general, but the message is stronger on that poia than that of the last session, and gi yes considerably more satisfaction to the low tariff men. The credentials of Senator Williams of California, were presented, and he was sworn in. New Representatives ;ox and Bacon, of JNew York, and Rusk, of Maryland, elected to fil vacancies, were ' admitted in the House, the genial and veteran Sun set having been welcomed back from Turkey with a round of applause from both sides of the chamber. A few bills were introduced in the Senate, but nothing was attempted in the House beyond 'hearing announce ments of the death of Member Price, of Wisconsin, who died to day, and adopting certain resolutions, prepar ing for eulosries upon Messrs. Beach and Arnot, recently deceased Secretary Manning, in his annual report, recommends a number of very important measures. 1. Repeal of the clause in the act of Febrnary 28, 1878, making compulsory Treasury purchases of silver, in order to reduce surplus and unnecessary taxation $24,000,000 a year. 2. Further reduc tion of surplus taxation close down to the necessities of the government economically administered. 3. Re peal of the act of May 31, 1878, mak ing compulsory post-redemption is sues and re-issues of United States legal tender notes. 4. Gradual pur outstanding promissory notes of the United States with the present and TT accruing ireasury surplus, issuing silver certificates in their room, and old certificates if need be, without contraction of the present circulating volume of the currency. "I respectfully recommend to Con gress," says the Secretary, "that they confer upon wage-earners of the United States tbe boon of untaxed clothing, and in crder thereto, the itn mediate passage of an act placing raw wool upon the free list. A repeal of the duty on raw wool should be fol lowed by compensating adjustment of the duties on manufactured woollens. But tne common daily cloth ing of the American people need not be taxed; to free their clothing of taxes will finally reduce, by half, their expense for one of the three great necessities of life." "There are several hundred articles among the 4,182 articles that we tax which ought at once to be swept off the tax list into the free list. I shall at an early day prepare and submit to Congress a supplementary report on the collection of duties." The estimates of receipts and ex penditures for 1887 show : Total re ceipts, $356,000,000; total expendi tures, $301,213,517.21; estinated sur plus, $54,786,482.79. This report has been very highly commended. It is regarded as one of the ablest ever issued, and the cour asre of the administration n recom mending the abolition of duy on wool is greatly admired. The renue re formers are immensely plcaed. But the most extreme of the sjver men are indignant at the propqition of the message and reportin far of the discontinuance of silver coine.

It was ordered printed. Mr. Van Wyck introduced a bill to change the tariff laws so as to put sugar, molasses and lumber on the free list. The right of the Senate to onerinate such legislation has been denied bv the Honse, but Senator Vau Wvck intends to make the fight for his bill. Oa motion of Mr. Hoar the Pacific Railroad funding bill was made a sDecial order for Tuesday, December SLAVIC I'lUCi LKJ I X UVOUUJ , vvv . 21st, at 2 o'clock, with the same rights as it now has. A resolution submitted by Mr. In galls was adopted, calling upon the land commissioner to explain why the lands once grranted to the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company and forfeited bv the act of Concress last session, have not been thrown open to public entry. Mr. Ingalls said the commissioner, in response to inqui ri'es on the subject, had twice replied that the lands would be ready for entrv in a few davs. and as a month has elapsed since that reply, he (In galls) thoueht the delay should be ex- WsasTooliol rPon himself as tbe only honest man in the couniry, ana as regaining ererj mnu who sought to enter public lands as a Kleptomaniac, ine trouoie wun Tire sarcastic Senator is that if he and 1 1 i m 1 1.1. il i1 I Sparks were the only men in the coun trv what he says of the latter would be strictly true. The department changes are more numerous or late, in addition to those already mentioned in the Treas ury, the following have just occurred in the Interior Department : Ap pointed chiefs of diyisions, at $2,000 a year salary, W . H. uner, of Pennsyl vania; W. J. Hilligrass, of Indiana; the KeDUblican incumbents were re duced in rank and not discharged. Quite a number of minor appoint ments, resignations and promotions occurred, among the latter Wm. M. Chaplain, of North Carolina, trom the thousand dollar class of clerks in the General Land Office to $1,200 The absurd story published in the New York World that Mr. Morrison was to be offered the Clerkship of the House was started by the enemies of the Democratic leader for the purpose of lniunng him. Ut course there is no such thought entertained. An example ot the promptness of the Government Printing office under its new management was given Sat urdav. The estimates were sent there at 8 o'clock this morning, with the request that they be bound and got ready for the committee as soon as possible. At 10 o'clock, just two hours later, tbe handsomely leather- bound books of estimates were in the hands of the committee. It is proba bly the fastest piece of work ever done there. On Monday morning, about 2 o'clock, the large building at the corner of D and Ninth street, known as Lincoln Hall, and occupied in part by the bpencerian Business College xua Unrrnr Qnnca. van burned, and Mr. Spencer's family and other occupants barely escaped from the flames. Nothing definite as to the origin of the fire is known, al though some believe it was due to defective heating arrangements,others to incendiaries. The buildiner cost $123,000 in 1869. It was insured for $40,000; The Spencers were losers above insurance, $5,000. The college wm go ou in anotner ouiiding. several stores on the farst floor were burned. The total loss was about $200,000. NORTH CAROLINA NOTES. At a meetincr to-day of the Govern ors and other promoters of the Per manent Exposition, Gen. Wm. R. Cox represented Gov. Scales. Hon.
