The latter evidently knew little about Vance, whose reception was stiff and lormal. The North Carolinian bnenv presented the name of Governor Jar vis together with several flattering testimonials from commercial bodies and the Legislature of the State. Mr Cleveland looked at them musingly, and presently muttered "Jarvis, Jarvis, who is Jarvis? I never heard of that name before." Already nettled by the indifferent reception accorded him Senator ance quickly retorted with a toucn 01 aspentv, And it is very likely Mr. President, that Governor Jarvis never heard of you before you were nominated tor the presidencv, with which remark the statesman from Buncombe county gracefully bowed himself out.

The Direc t Tax Lint Will Soon be Ready Senator Keagan's Successor a Big Sur priseMajor Peyton Randolph Dead The President's Sister Injured North Carolinians Appointed Other News. (SPECIAL COR. THE ADVANCE. J Washington, April 27, 1891. The list of those who paid the di rect tax in North Carolina in- 1S61 and 1862 is being rapidly copied at the Treasury Department. The work is done under the immediate supervision of Captain Armand De- Rosset of Wilmington. He has a corps of six able assistants, who he says, are so persevering that he sometimes has to tell them to rest. Captairt DeRossett and his force are located on the ton story of the Treasury Department immediately under one of the domes. The room is at times very warm being exposed to the direct rays of the sun, but these gentlemen and ladies faithfully execute their duties in spite of this disadvantage." Fabius H. Busbee, Esq., as agent for the State of North Carolina made the contract for doing the- work a short time before the death of the late Governor Fowle. I learned at the Treasury Department that Governor Holt is taking great interest in the work,, and is devising feasible methods by which the tax payers or their heirs can collect the money refunded to them with as lit tle expense as possible. His plan, as I understand it, is to send the lists after thev have been received at Ral- rh to the county clerk 1 of every county in the State, so that the clerk can give the desired information to those who are immediately interested. Governor Holt is known to be a thoroughly practical man, and this wise plan will especially commend itself to the people. It is at once the simplest, most direct and most feasible solution of the difficulty. The resignation of Senator Rea gan was a surprise' to his friends here. The immediate appointment of his successor, Horace Chilton, Esq., a young lawyer of varied ac complishments, and an orator of ex traordinary ability also provokes a great deal of talk in political circles. Senator Reagan resigned to accept the chairmanship of the Texas Rail road Commission. This place pays him $6,000 per year, and Senator Reagan's chances for re-election to the Senate were very slim, partly be cause it was known that Roger Q. Mills wanted it. This is why the appointment of Mr. Chilton pro duced such a sensation. Mr. Mills is regarded as a leader in the coming Speakership contest, and a great many practical Democrats were very anxious to see the Senatorial toga grace' the shoulders of the Texas apostlf of Free Trade. This would have relieved a great many promi nent Democrats who think they ought to vote for Mr. Mills to be Speaker, but who are very much averse to doing so. By right of procedure Mr. Mills is probably re garded, especially by the free trade wing of the party, as Justly entitled to the gavel- of the next House of Representatives. But the great ma jority of level-headed Democrats know that Mr. Mills would make a very unsafe speaker. He easily loses his head, is no parliamentarian, and does not hesitate to subordinate the higher interests of his party to his own personal hobbies. In a crisis like that which is approaching it is manifestly unsafe to jeopardize the success of the Democracy by making Mr. Mills Speaker. The truth of it is the Democratic party cannot afford to do it. It would be a most power ful factor in the national defeat of the party in 1892. It is regarded here as a little strange that the Governor of Texas did not appoint Mr. Mills Senator for this very reason. He is an able man in his way, and on the floor of the Senate would have been torced to yield to Senator John G. Carlisle, than whom there is no abler tariff expert in this county. He is wiser, more conservative; and has a deeper knowledge of human nature than the impulsive and uncompro mising free taade member from Texas. The new Senator, Chilton, may be a much abler man, but the appointment of Mills would certainly have relieved the Democratic party, not only of an embarrassing predica ment, but possibly of impending dan- Major Peyton Randolph, third vice-President of the Richmond and Danville Railroad, died in this city Wednesday night after a long illness. He was universally respected and leaves a large circle of friends and relatives to mourn his loss. He was about sixty-five years old. He was buried Saturday afternoon at Rock Creek cemetery, near this city. He was a native of Winchester, Va. Got, A. B. Andrews is in the city, proba bly to confer as to who will be ap pointed Maj. Randolph's successor. News has been received here of the serious injury to Mrs. Dr. Eaton, the oldest sister of the president. She jumped from a buggy yester day and sustained severe internal wounds. If she should die, the President will bring his 'trip to an end, so a despatch just received here states. Elijah Halford, the j President's private secretary, has gone to Eu rope. His wife died last week, and he probably takes this trip as a needed change. He was, we under stand, very much attached to her. Thomas H. Leary, of North Caro liua, has been appointed to a $1,000 place in the War Department. Miss Janet Anderson has been appointed to a position in the Pension Office. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has put on a train of cars known as the "Royal Blue Line' between this city and New York, which makes close connection with the express trains from the South. The coaches i are all vestibuled, and in the rear is a n rlinincr rar elepantlv aDDointed. It 1 " a y o y a is the smoothest running line 1 was ever on. One can write or read with comparative ease on this "Royal Blue Line; ' which makes the dis tance between this city and New York in five hours. Senator, Mrs. Vance, and Harry Martin will leave next month lor an extended tour through Europe. There was a wild rumor on the streets to the eftect that an Italian, presumably a member of the Mafia, had assassinated secretary uiaine. The average Italian brigand would not strike so high. If he did, this country would give King- Hum bert some reason to try and get his gun boats across the water. The President has telegraphed the Secretary of War to court-martial the soldiers at Walla-Walla who Ivnrhpd a rivillian. The row was the outcome of a drunken bawl If Terry Simpson isn't careful somebody will charge him with being in the pay ot the Washington agent's lobby. He made a speech here this week in favor of the Gov ernment's paying the Union soldiers or their heirs, the difference between the value of the greenbacks paid them during the waa .and of gold He says it will only take 553,000,000 Only ! NOTES. It pays to be a humbug. P. T. Rnrnum left an estate worth more than $5,000,000. Should Italy and the United States go to war it would be a sort ol eagle and monkey anair Will Senator Sherman's new barn be large enough to store the fall crop of Ohio r armer s Alliance votes.' Ex-Senator Ingalls may cover himself with hayseed, and talk about the crops, but it takes more than that to make a farmer. Mr. Harrison is getting a taste C Southern hospitality, but that doesn' indicate that he will get any Southern electoral votes next year, should he succeed in getting himself renomina ted. Mr. Harrison is so afraid of Mr. Blaine that it would not be surprising if he telegraphed to Washington ! every morning to find out whether the foxy Secretary of State has car ried the White House on during the proceeding night. Never mind, Benny, don't worry : your successor will be a good Democrat, not J. G. B. It has leaked out through the State Department that the administration is anxious to dispense with the ser vices of Fred Douglass, minister to Havti, because of the mess he has made of the negotiations for a "coaling station on the island for the" United States. It fears, however, to dismiss him now lest it may affect the negro votes in next year's conventicn. Columns have been written eulo gizing the administration for having the German embargo on American meats raised, but the unpleasant fact remains that the embargo is still in existence, and that no American meats can today be sold in Germany. We do not pretend to say that this injustice to American meats will not eventually be righted by the German government, but it has not yet done it, nor has it authorized any official statement of its intention to do it, therefore the eulogies of the adminis tration are premature. The true inwardness of the resig nation of Senator Edmunds has leaked out. It is chagrin. There was a time when his word was law with his Republican colleagues in the Sen ate, but at the last session his sugges tions were not only ignored, but he was actually snubbed on several oc casions by a majority of the Republi can Senators, and in such ways as to make it plain that his power over them was gone never to return. That was more than the old legislative ty rant could stand, so he resolved to go himsell to escape further mortifica tion. Whither are we drifting:? As if the acceptance of a free special train from the railroad magnates was not a sufficient insult to the great mass of the people, who believe that the President is entitled to the privileges ol a plain every day American citi zen, no more, no less, the front car of the special free train on which Mr. Harrison is making his political tour is emblazoned with big gold letters, "the Presidential Train." Photo graphs of this royally equipped train should be distributed from one end ol the country to the other, particularly among the people who have to work for a living, and to buy second-class railroad tickets, or walk, when they wish to go anywhere. The train upon which Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, took her recent jaunt was not to be compared, for magnificence, to that upon which Mr. Harrison is now traveling. Is it any wonder that the peeple clamor for a return to democratic simplicity, and every man-pay -his-own-way methods? The effect of the legislation of the billion dollar congress is beginning to be felt at the Treasury Department, and already Secretary Foster has be gan to scheme as to how he can get the $30,000,000 that must be paid on the 1 st of July for pensions. He has decided to utilize the $18,000,000 in silver half dollars now in the Treas ury by depositing them in the Na tional banks, thus making them available for the Government's cur rent expenses. Another item, aside from the Congressional appropria tions, becoming payable after July i, that is taxing Mr. Foster's ingenuity to provide for, is the $50,000,000 of 44 per cent, bonds that will mature in September. Although it has for some weeks been given out that all of these bonds would be taken up at or before maturity, I have it on good authority that it is the present intention of Foster to allow those in the hands iof the National banks to remain out standing at a reduced rate of interest, if the banks will consent to it. Whether he can legally do this with out the passage of a special funding act of Congress is a debatable ques tion. See $1.50. our Lace Curtains at 95cfs., $2.00, $3. so and SU.oo oer pair. fc,.

E. church of this place is to be congratulated in the possession of such a minister as Rev. E. C. Glenn. He is a thoroughly earnest and consecrated man of God, and since he has been among us he "has worked like a Trojan" and is now enjoying the fruits of his labor from the fact that several have been con verted at the meetings which still continue with unabated interest. He has had good congregations every night and on Sunday night the church was crowded. It seems the public have not yet learned that the name of our town and postoflice has been changed to Elm City. Lots of our mail still comes addressed to Toisnot. So of ten our mail was carried to Frembnt and other places beginning with T or r that it was decided to avoid such delay and annoyance by changing the name to klm City. W e liked tne 000 name 01 1 oisnot, winch we are told, derived its name from an old Indian chief who had from the early settlers learned a few words of English and in crossing the stream (now known as Toisnot Swamp) the squaw was going to toss her pap poose across to the old chief, and he seeing she could not safely do so said "tois-not." Since then it has been called Toisnot Swamp. We cannot say that this is true ; but if not, who can tell us when and how such a name originated ? Phantom. April 28th, 1 89 1. For Thirty Days Only.
