The Constitution provides that the Presi

I Executive, in compliance with this provi-
sion. to annually exhibit to the Congress, at
the opening of its session, the general con
dition of the country, and to detail with
some! particularity the operations of the
different executive departments. It would
be especially agreeable to follow this course
at tbe present time, and to call attention to
the valuable accomplishments cf those de

am so much impressed with the paramount

8 UP HEME COURT DECISIONS
1 Raleigh News-Observer.
Baker vs. Leggett.
Allison Ryan owned a tract of
land in Robeson county, on which he
resided, of less value that $500;
mortgaged - the same to plaintiff on
December 26th, 1877, and removed
to Georgia. On the 17th of January
following defendant began an action
of debt against him and sued oat an
attachment, which f was levied on the
land. There was judgment and sale
and defendant bought the land on the
21st of February, On the 23d of
January the mortgage was registered
and plaintiff olaims, under his mort
gage, alleging that Ryan's homestead
was exempt from
sale unaer execa- .
provision of the
tion.
Held: That the
constitution and of the laws setting
apart a homestead exemption apply
Only to parties residing in this State.
That although Regan was entitled:
to his homestead while a resident, he
lost the right on relinquishing his
citizenship and moving to another
State. - I - j .
That the levy and sale were valid.
That if plaintiff had registered his
mortgage before j the levy of the at
tachment he would have had prior
ity, bat his failure to record his mort
gage until after the levy opened the
door for the lien of the levy, and the
levy and sale were effectual. j
; Simonton vs. Cornelius. ,
The will to be construed reads:
"I give and bequeath to my daugh
ter Julia" certain lands, negroes and
property, "all of which land and
negroes and other property to re
main in the possession of the said
Julia and her husband daring their
natural lives and then to descend to
the children of the said Julia equally-"
- ... - ; i
i Held, That the proper construction
of the will gives the estate to the said
Julia and her husband, with a direct
remainder after the death of the sur
vivor to her children. The husband
and wife took by entireties and the
right of survivorship prevails. Dur
ing bis life the remainderman ia pre
mature in seeking possession: The
fruits occurring during the joint lives
would belong to the husband when
by separation from the land they be
came personal property, as other per
sonal goods reduced into possession
became his as the law then was.
; Austin v. .PickIer. j -j
To recover on a note that is in the
nature of a penal bond with condi
tions of avoidance, breaches must be
shown by those seeking to enforce it.
A note intended to Becure a support
of the obligee daring his life and to
be void at his deatb, if that condition
is complied with is of that character.
And in order to charge the adminis
trator with a failure to collect! the
party insisting on its being enforced
shonld show
every fact neoessary
therefor.

CHICAGO MARKET REVIEW.
Fluctaallona'lu Grain and Fro visions
By Telegraph to tbe Morning Star, li
Chicago, Dec. 7. Most of the trading
at the opening of the board to-day was in
corn. The crowd iorced it trom the open
ing of 57ic down to 63ic for May. It
went back to 574a. but was not strong.
May wheat opened at 84c, sold off to 83Jc
when corn weakened, and then went up to
84c again. May pork opened at $14 90,
and also followed corn. Wheat was the
strongest article during the first hour. " May
went up to 84Jc and beld in that vicinity,
while corn went back to 53jc. At the end
of the first hour,, however, corn bad re
covered some of its strength; it advanced
to 54ic. May pork, which was recorded
above, opened at $14 90, advanced to
$15 05, and then dropped back to $14 90
again. On the late bulge in corn it went
up to $15 021, and it stood very close to
that figure at 10.30. As the day advanced
it Decame eviaent mat mere was quite a
strong undertone to the grain market, and
both corn and wheat did better. The clo
sing prices of leading futures were Mav
wheat 85ic, May corn 55Jc, May oats 33$
331c January pork $14 77, January j lard

convened, Bishop Key in the chair.
Religious services were conducted by
Rev. T. J. Gattis, of Tarboro. The
miuutes of Saturday were read and
approved. Question. 20th was taken
np and the annual examination of
character gone into. Let me say just
here, that there is no need of people
talking about any meanness of which
a Methodist preacher may be guilty.
When the above question is called
any one who knows of any act unbe
coming ministerial conduct, may stop
nis career by stating and. sustaining
the charge, either in person or
through the said minister's Presiding
Elder Uj ! .
At this point the Conference select

The hour of 11 a. m.. which had
been specially 1 set apart for the con
sideration of Trinity College, having
arrived, President Crowell read his
report. . This r6port showed decided
advance in the work of the college.
Wo young man will be "put through"
at ATinity; ne must go tnrougn oy
dint of energy! and application. He
must work toi"get in," work to "stay
in!f and work to "get out" honorably
at the other end graduation. ,
President CrawelJ said, "We intend
to refute the impression that because
a college is denominational it cannot
be as broad in i its culture, or as lib
eral in its opportunities and in its in
tellectual tne, as a college supported
by the State. I In other words, that a
college controlled and ordered by
broad-minded Christian men of tbe
most liberal-minded denomination
in America, cannot be as literal In
its life as a State institution con
trolled by members of far less liberal
denominations: in part, and part by
nn-Christian politicians who often
have the narrowest views of educa
tion." --i .-!! :-
After President Crowell's address,
$2,300 was raised on the Endowment
of the College. I : J

otk. -O ! what a look of anxiety is
on the face of more than two hun
dred faces, d The Bishop holds the
secret the! preachers are in ignor
ance and the ignorance is not bliss
either. Two hours more and the
Bishop will tell . these men of God
where they mmst work for the coming
year. A spirit, of consecration seems
to be on the j preachers, caught from
the Bishop. It has leaked out that
many changes have been made and
that there will be satisfaction both to
preacher and people J
The Washington. Trinity College
and Warrenton Districts were called
and the reports from pastors on those
districts were heard, and their charac
ters passed. When the call of preach
ers to passage of character was con
cluded, the Bishop congratulated the

character. " -The

Washington. December 5. The Senate
Chamber wore a fresh and tasteful appear
ance this morning. The floors . and gal
leries were newly carpeted, and the desks
glistened in their coat of varnish, the odor
of which mingled faintly with that of the
bouquets and gorgeous floral devices which
enlivened the picture.. The Senator .' most
favored in the matter of flowers was Mr.
Daniel, of Virginia. - The devices; were all
of mammoth proportions, aod covered not
-only his desk and chair, but overlapped
upon the desks of his neighbors. A huge
horse-shoe, a ladder of half a dozen rounds,
and a shield, comprising the coafc-of-arms
of Virginia, were chief among tbe pieces.
Senator Riddleberger's desk bore a harp
with the compliments ot Mr. Clannagan, of
Philadelphia . Senator Gorman was tbe
recipient of a horse-shoe upon : an easel.
The desks of Senators Harris, Beck, Pad
dock, Stewart, Manderson and Palmer, and
that of the President of the Senate, were
also elaborately adorned with flowers in
various unique and tasteful forms.
. ( Senators began to arrive and take their
seats before 11 o'clock. Senators Stewart
and Hiscock being tbe first- comers. For
an hour before noon the floor was a busy
scene, members of both parties, their
friends, and the officers of the Senate ta
king this occasion to exchange greetings
and compare notes - f
Tbe chief topic of conversation with the
majority was the prospect of a conflict over
the admission of certain Democratic Sena
tors elect, and it early became 'known that
the Republicans, in default of any caucus
plan of action, had concluded to follow tbe
lead of their members of tbe Committee on
Privileges and Elections. These jhad been
in informal consultation, it was understood,
and had reached the conclusion to make no
opposition to the admission of Mr. Turpie.
of Indiana, but to object to the admission
of Mr- Faulkner, of West Virginia, on the
ground that there were conflicting creden
tials from that State. The general opinion
was that there would be no deadlock, and
that the usual course of opening, proceed
ing would not be broken. - j ;
iTbe galleries wAe early crowded and to
ovetflowiog. ; Mrs. Cleveland, clad in a
costume of dark green, aod accompanied
by Mrs. Gilder, Mrs. Kings ford and several
other lady friends, occupied the seats 're
served for the family of , the President in
one ot the private galleries. The Diplo
matic gallery was filled by the members of
tbe various legations, the front Seat being
occupied by the Chinese Minister, his secre
taries and associates. ' The Minister wore a
magnificent robe of light blue satin, and
his companions were clad as richly, though
fn more subdued colors. j
j The proceedings of tbe day were opened
with prayer by' the Chaplain, Rev. J. Q.
Butler. He aska-1 that Senators j might be
endowed with wisdom and strength to
meet the honorable and trying responsibili
ties of tbe day and all duties that gather
around them. '-',
r The President of the Senate, Mr. Ingall?,
then took tbe chair and called tbe Senate
to order. He said he would now place be
fore the Senate the certificates of election,
certificates of appointment, and other pa
pers received since the adjournment,
f The following papers were j thereupon
submitted and read : ' s
i Certificate of the Governor of Florida,
makin? the temporary appointment or
J. J. Finlay. as Senator from the 4ih of
March, 1887. until the Legislature should
fill the vacancy caused by the expiration of
the term of Senator Jones: certificate of
the Governor- of - Florida of the elec
tion by the Legislature of Samuel Pasco;
certificate "of tha Governor of New Jersey
of the election of yRutus Blodgett: of the
Governor of Wert Virginia, of the appoint
ment by him of Daniel B- Lucas, to fill the
vacancy caused by the expiration of the
term of Bee tor Camden; one of the Go
vernor ot West .Virginia, of a summary of
the proceedings by which ths Legislature ,
in soeeial session, elected Charles J. Faulk
ner at Senator to fill a vacancy; the cre
dentials of Wm - IS. Chandler, of New
Hampshire; toe-protest of Daniel ljucas
aeainst tbe administration of the oath of
office to Charles J . Faulkner. The grounds
of protest are, first, that the Executive of
the State of West Ylrninia has not certified
tbe election of Charles J. Faulkner under
the seal of the State, as required by the act
of Congress; second, for reasons set out in
a brief of Dniei B. Lucas, a copy of
which accompanied the protest; third, be
cause Charles J. Faulkner was. at the
time of bis alleged election, on the 5th of
May. 1887. judge of the 13th Ju
dicial district of West Virginia, and
therefore ineligible to the office of Sen
ator. The protest was laid on the table and
ordered to be printed in the isecora.
The ceremony of administering me oatn
of office to the newly elected Senators was
then proceeded with, such senators being
called in parties of four and in alphabetical
order. The first- four Senators thus caiieo
and sworn (in all instances with uplifted
hand and not on a bible), were Aiaricn.tJate,
Blodirett and Chandler. The second four
were Cocfcrell. uaniei, Lavis anu isawes.
In the swearing in of the Senators elect.
Senator Hoar made objection to tbe admin
istration of the oath to Mr. Faulkner, of
W. Va.. untill a certain question, to which
his credentials gave jise, could oe passea
unon bv the Committee on Privileges and
Elections. As a member of that committee
he assured the Senate that the matter should
receive the immediate attention of the com
mittee, so that if thagentleman were round
to be entitled to his seat, ne couia enter np
on his duties without unnecessary delay.
8enator-Kenna said that the course pro
mised bv the Senator from Massachusetts
seemed!eminently appropriate.andbe trusted
it would be followed without the formal!
tv ni a vote. i
This course was followed, and the call of
Rfinators-elect proceeded. The oath was
administered to Mr. Turpie. j of Indiana,
and he was admitted to his seat. All pa
pers in the case were referred to the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections. !
The oath was then administered to the
remainder of the Senators, i
At the Euzeestion of Mr. Vest, the priv
ilegea of the floor were given to Mr. Faulk
ner pending tbe decision of the contest
When the roll call had been completed, and
Senators-elect were sworn in, the cus
tomary committees to give j notice to the
President and House of Representatives
were named and the Senate adjourned.
Messrs. Morgan and Morrill represent the
Senate on this committee. . !- : j
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES!
Long before the hour of noon the gal
leries of the. House were crowded to their
utmost capacity with spectators, drawn to
gether to witness the opening scenes of the
new Congress. The ladies were in the ma
jority, and their gay costumes lent an air
of animation to the chamber 4 On tbe floor
the members congregated and exchanged
greetings and congratulations. There were
very few floral decorations upon the desks
of tbe members, though Mr. j i . J. uamp-
bell. of New York, was favored with
horse-shoe of carnations and roses, the gift
of the Oriental Club of New York
At noon the Clerk of the House called'
the body to order and was about to
call the roll, when a crank in the
callery started- a Salvation Army
hymn, which he sang lustily until ejected

several minutes had elapsed, as the crowd
impeded the official In his attempt to reacn
the musician. The Clerk then proceeded
with thn roll RAlLamid a eood deal of con
fusion, caused by gentlemen renewing old
aconaintances or forming new ones
Amid much talk and laughter, tbe pages
were kept busy carrying belated bouquets
and flrrl designs to the proper recipients.
Among the handsomest of the designs was
the one nreaented to Mr. Lawler, of Illi
nois. It was a tablet of roses, on which
was iiunribed in ourole immortelles,
" Labor' Champion." Mr.; Randall's desk
was embellished with a harp, and that of
Mr. Btahlnicker. of New York, was adorned
with a tall floral vase,
On the call of the roll, 813 members an
swered to their names, and tbe clerk an
nounced that more than a quorum being
present the next business m order was tne
election of Sneaker.
John G. Carlisle was nut! in nomination

House to order and made a speecn ot inanu
for! the honor conferred upon him, in which
he directed attention to the important labors
which : would devolve .upon the present
Congress, and dealt with much stress on tbe
important necessity of such moderate and
reasonable redaction of the tariff as would
guarantee laboring people against the effects
or financial depression, aod at the same
time would not deprive them of any part of

SKIIM DISEASES.
infant six months old ivas attacked with a vim
lent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary reme
dies failing, we called our family physlotaD, wbo
attempted to onre it; but it spread with aimoat
incredible rapidity, until tbe lower portion of tbe
little fellow's person, from tha middle of his
back down to his kne9S,was one solid rash, nly,
painful, blot ohed, and malicious. We had no
rest at night, no peace by day. Finally, we were
advised to try the crmonBA jjExannM. The ef
fect was simply marvellous. - ln three or four
weeks a complete onre was wrought, leaving too
little fellow's person as white and healthy as
though he had never been attaoked In my
opinion yonr valuable remedies saved his life,
and to-day he is a strong, healthy ohlld, perfectly
weu, no repetition ot the disease having ever oc
curred. 1
