hi Chatham jutori THURSDAY, SEPTEMB R 15, 1881. H. A. LONDON. Jr., Editor. PRESIDENT'S CONDITION. "We are pleased to announce that the condition of the President is more favorable, and his physicians confi dently state that he will recover. A few days ago it was feared that an abscess was forming on one of his lungs, which created much alarm. On Monday, however, he was better and at his request was placed in an invalid chair where he was seated for half an hour, without any ill effects resulting from tho change of posi tion. The President himself is much encouraged by the improvement in his condition and is quite hopeful of his final recovery. His removal from Washington to Long Branch was conducted in an admirable manner. Everything was so well arranged that this long jour ney of about 250 miles was made without any discomfort The train ran at the rate of forty miles an hour and there was not the slightest jolt ing. Only three stoppages were made on the lournev, and the track was kept cleared of all other trains. NEWSPAPERS FOR CHIL DREN. At a convention of the county su perintendents of public instruction, held at Raleigh last week, the follow ing resolution was unanimously adopted : "Resolved, That this association earnestly recommend that parents and cuardians throughout the btate o: North Carolina regularly supply their minor children and wards with a lease one good newspaper or educa tional journal, or both." This was eminently timely ana proper, and was a step in the righ direction. The newspapers are edu cators, and we are pleased to see that their value is properly appreciated by those who have charge of our public schools. The benefits of good newspaper to the children o any family are simply incalculable The man, who does not take a paper, does a great injustice to his children The money spent in subscribing for a good newspaper is the best invest ment that can be made. There are men, who will squander many times that amount every year in tobacco and liquor, and yet say they canno afford to pay the subscription price for one paper! RAILROAD MATTERS. we invite the careful attention o: our readers to the statement of Sen ator Vance elsewhere published. As a sentinel, guarding the interests of the people of North Carolina, he sounds the note of alarm, and places him self squarely in opposition to a pow erful corporation that is sohurtfu to those interests. In doing this he should receive the hearty support o: every North Carolinian. In this con test he is a worthy champion of our people, and should he succeed in thwarting the schemes of the Rich xnond and Danville Railroad Com panv and freeing us from the coils with which they would surround us, he will become more than ever be fore the favorite of all North Caro Unions. Zeb Vance's devotion to North Carolina was proven long years ago during the dark days that over shadowed us in the war and that love for his State now prompts him lo come to her rescue when she is imperilled by this grinding rail road corporation. In this struggle Senator Vance is acting the part of a patriot, and not a demagogue. Al ready the people of North Carolina have honored him as they have no other man, and they have taken de light in conferring their highest offices upon him. He is not seeking office or popularity; of that we may rest as sured, for both he already has. This railroad contest has beoome the great issue of the day in this State, and may absorb all others. It affects our people more than any other. The question is shall the people of North Carolina become "hewers of wood and drawers of water " to the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company ? Shall we allow this gi gantic corporation to obtain control ox an our railroads, and oppress us with exhorbitant freight charges Shall we allow our North Carolina railroads to discriminate against, and thus injure, our own towns and cities? Just at this time, when corn is so scarce in all central North Carolina, our people are made to feel mos forcibly the oppression of thia corpo ration: and we cite, as an instance o: tneir cuscnminauon againsp our towns, their tariff upon corn, It is stated that the freight on corn from Richmond to Raleigh a distance o 270 miles is 8 cents a bushel, while the freight on corn from Goldsboro to Greensboro a distance of 130 miles is 11 cents a bushel ! Forest Fires have been raging in Michigan, and have been very des tructive to life and property. It is stated that over two hundred lives were lost, and that two thousand families are completely destitute. An appeal for help has been issued, for there is great suffering. The burned district is between Saginaw Bay and ake Huron and extends for about thirty miles north and south and fifty miles east and west, embracing about twenty townships, and in that area scarcely a house, barn or suppHes of any kind are left. There had been no rain in two months, and everything being very dry the flames spread with great rapidity, and swept like a hurri cane through the forests. A telegram to the New York Herald, in describing the scene of desolation, says : "Scattered along the roads and in the burned woods were seen the charred remains of men, women and children. Entire communities are left houseless, naked, hungry and in many instances, scorched, sick and wound ed. Farmers who have bpen culti vating their farms, some twenty and some thirty years, and who by their industry have acquired agricultural property of considerable value, now see it swept from their sight and themselves compelled, in the decline of life, to start again from the point of the original settler. Many heads of families are left alone in the world, their wives end children have been buroed to death, and all their ma terial possessions except the land they owned have perished in the hurricane of flame. The stories of remarkable escapes are very thrilling, and show that the race between the flames and a terrible death was a very close one. There is nothing left of many villages but dust and ashes. It will be several days before the full extent of this unparalleled calamity will be fully known." Yance's Statement. We publish herewith an extract from a statement of Senator Vance, published in the Charlotte Observer relative to the control of the West ern N. C. railroad by the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company: "It will be remembered that during the year 1879 serious appre hensions came to be entertained that there would be difficulty in con tinuing the appropriations for the completion of the Western N. C. Railroad. It had been on hand so long and so many misfortunes, not to mention worse things, had atten ded its construction, that many peo ple began to fear it would swamp the party which undertook to carry it to completion. These considerations in duced me to listen favorably to tho propositions of Mr. W. J. Best for its purchase when he approached me on the subject. I believed it a favora ble opportunity to secure the com pletion of that great and important work without further taxation or political disquiet to our people. The negotiations then set on foot resulted as is known in the call of a special session of the Legislature and the passage of the act authorizing its sale to Mr. Best and his associates. It must not be forgotten that the chief consideration of that sale was the building of the road from Asheville to Ducktown. At the time of the sale the great obstacle, the passage of the Blue Ridge, had been over come and the cars were running al most to Asheville. From there the short line down the French Broad was a matter of easy accomplish ment, one-third being already graded. The State could easily have finished it in a short time with her convict labor, or could have found other parties quite ready to take it off her band. The great object was to find parties who would cut through the mountains, 145 miles, to Ducktown. As is known, Mr. Best, by the deser tion of his associates, was left unable to perform his contract. How this happened it is not now necessary to inquire. I will only say that I had then, and have now, the fullest con fidence in his good faith. Finding himself thus unable to perform his obligations to the State, he finally succeeded in borrowing a portion of the money needed from Messrs. Bu- ord, Clyde & Co. At his request I went to New York and aided him to accomplish this as much as was in my power. These gentlemen dis claimed the slightest desire to as sume Mr. Best's contract, but ex pressed an anxiety for the comple tion of the road as a desirable ad junct to their business arrangements. I at no time desired them or suppos- j m iv i ... r. eu irom weir language that they desired to become owners of the road. They, however, came into possession ui ib uy iue iauure or. mr. uest io repay them their money in July of last year. Reluctant as I was to see this road fall into the hands of a cor poration that had already done so much to reduce North Carolina to a state of commercial vassalage to an adjoining State, by diverting its trade from our own towns and cities, yet so great was my anxiety to see this work completed that I determined to aid as much as I could the assignees to prosecute it with all possible dili gence and energy, depending for the protection of our people upon the provision in the act of sale which forbids discriminations against North Carolina towns and cities on the part of the assignees. I soon found, how ever, at least I came to believe, that they did not intend to build the .u act town branch. In other words that they did not intend to pav the price for whieh the road was sold to them. I came to believe also that in defiance of the law thev were deter mined so to discriminate against the interests oi our own people as to ruin maujr una greawy injure au. isy de greea they have secured control of neaily every road in the State, or leading into it west of Raleigh. They have now so got the commerce of North Carolina in their grasp that they can crush to death all of it, ex cept that portion which they foster for the benefit of Richmond. I came to believe also that they did not in tend to prosecute the work even on the French Broad line with the 'dili gence and energy required by the contract, but intended to take their time and finish it at their conve nience. The circumstances which induced me to believe that they did not intend to build to Ducktown are many. In the first place, the fact was stated in my hearing at a conference in September last, be tween Messrs. Best, Clyde, Logan and others, in the city of New York, and was not denied by any one present. Another reason is found in the sworn testimony of Col. Buford be fore the Senate committee of inter nal improvements, in February last, in Raleigh, in which, among many other intimations thrown out to the same effect, Mir. Buford declared 'that the parties contracting with Mr. Best took the assignment of his con tract with the State when it became absolutely necessary, in the manner heretofore stated, with the intention to carry it out in good faith as far as the ability and interest of the capi tal they represented would admit.' Again, at the meeting of the board of commissioners in Raleigh on the 30th of April last, when Col. An drews appeared before it, he handed us his application for an extension of time, with the remark, 'Gentlemen,! think I can say to you that we have pretty well made up our minds to go to Ducktown !' And still another reason was, that up to June of this year, almost, all the work done was upon the French Broad line. Lastly, they began to build the Ducktown line from AsheviUe as a narrow-gauge road, being advised, as Col. Andrews said, they could build it any gauge they pleased. In support of my conviction that they intended to build the French Br: ad branch at their leisure, I cite the fact that so far as is known to me. from July, when they got the road, to near the last of May of this vear, not a laborer except the con victs furnished by the State was put upon that work, unless it might be a few skilled mechanics. As to the convicts being short of the five hun dred which the State contracted to furnish, Col. Andrews faih to state that Gov. Jarvis did tender the number that was deficient and they were not received ; owing, as was said, to the uncertainty attending the ownership of that road. Even if the whole number had been furnished by the State, it was a well-known fact that they alone could not have finished the road in the time re quired by the contract. Nor did they keep on the Ducktown line a force sufficient te insure its comple tion to the Pigeon River by the 1st of July, as required by the contract. In answer to the allegation that four of the best months of last year were lost before they took the contract, it is sufficient to say tbat the same force was at work during those four months as was kept at work after wards, up to the latter part of May of this year, to-wit, the convict force alone; and my modest opinion is that but for the withdrawal of my assent to that application for an extension of time, and the threatened danger of a forfeiture of their contract, there would not now be any except the convict force on the French Broad branch, and none on the Ducktown branch. In the matter of discrimination on freights and charges, forbidden alike expressly in the contract with W. J. Best and his assigns, and in the charter of the Peidmont Railroad, cgainst North Carolina towns and citieR; against one town in North Carolina in favor of another, and against all roads connecting with the North Carolina road, time would fail me to expose them. They are obvious and glaring each town and depot in the State from Raleigh west has its own tale to tell. I have the authority of some of the most promi nent merchants in Charlotte for say iDg, some, that they have to pay themselves the freight on gooda sold south of this point; others, that the freights so far south as Columbia are cheaper than to this point from Northern cities, and to sell their goods they Tiave to pay this difference against them. And still others say that when they receive an order for goods from any point on the West ern North 'Carolina road thev can make no profit, except by filling the bill by ordering from the wholesale merchants in Richmond to be shipped direct to their customers. I have also a freight bill showing the rates between Richmond and Asheville, N. C. to be sixty-five cents per hundred pounds, and I have also a freight bill in which, on goods coming to Charlotte, from Marion to Statesville, a distance of sixty-seven miles, the charges are $1.14 per hundred pounds. Similar statistics can readi ly be found anywhere in western North Carolina, alihough we do not see them in many of our newspapers. mi t i i i tn. me xuenmona ana uunvuie com pany own or control all roads west of Raleigh, with one or two excep tions, and these they are said to be negotiating for and will" doubtless get. Even whilst I write, it is stated in, the public prints that they have purchased the Virginia Midland. The result of this, if true, will probably be to discontinue the work now in progress to extend it from Danville to Mooresville, cutting off the only hope of the people along that line for a railroad, and, completed or not, destroying also the last hope of this dcvuuu I.U uuLtuxi a competing line. lhen the coils -will be completely around us. We will be absolutely at the mercy of strangers. A foreign corporation will dispose of the wealth, if there be any left, and die f.ftf.A itiA policy oi JNortn uaronna. The fiat tht taxes the earnings of our people issue from the city oi ilich- mond. But recently an oruer wb put forth by one Haas, general freight agent of this corporation, ionnuumg any freight arrangements to be made by what is called the Associated Rail roads with the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad. The crops of this part of the State have utterly failed, but the eastern counties have been blessed with abundant harvest of grain, and if permitted reasonable freights would feed our already suffer in? nonnlation. But one Wm. J. Best is in control of that road, and is trying to build another through the heart of North Carolina. The Rich mond and Danville company don't like Mr. Best, so this order issues, and the people of these parched and RnflTfifiniOf nlaina are denied access to the abundant stores of their eastern brethren. The roads of their own State are made the instruments of their oppression. These things have influenced mv conduct as a commiS' sioner of the Western North Caro lina Railroad and as a citizen, l am aware that by pursuing this course I subject myself not only to the dan ger of being misunderstood by that portion of my fellow-citizens who can be made to believe that I am try ing to stop the progress of the work, but also to the enmity of a vast cor poration in the hands of strangers, who may have the power, as they certainly have the will, to crush all who stand in their way. I know that such institutions have insidious and irresistible methods of corrupting legislators, of suborning the press, and forcing public opinion. I know full well the danger I incur by at temptingto thwart tb.6 purpose of one of these vast combinations of capital, which, deifying the spirit of gain, embody the very essence of selfish ness and go straight on to their ob ject, regardless of all considerations except those which contribute to success. I know how powerless an agricultural people of moderate means, spread over a wide extent of country, like the people of North Carolina, are to contend with such a power. If I consulted my own ease or convenience, I would retire from the contest. But the representatives of the people, confiding in my in tegrity and faithfulness, chose me as one of their commissioners to super intend the execution of this contract. I shall justify that confidence, or try to do so, let the consequences to my self be what they mav. Z. B. Vance. Attempt to Kill Guiieau. A telegram from Washington City, dated 12th inst., says: "At 7 o'clock last evening an at tempt was mace to kill Guiieau iu bis cell at that hour. Battery B, Second Artillery, was relieving Capt. Graves' command, which had been on duty at the jail the previous twenty-four hours. The battery ar rived in three wagons, in the first of which was seated First Sergeant Mason. As the wagon drew up in front of the jail Mason jumped out, threw his cape aside, and with a musket on his shoulder proceeded to the right wing of the jail. A few seconds brought him abreast of the window through which Guiteau had been often seen. Putting his gun to his shoulder a clear report, which rang through the jail, told the story of his intention and act. The ball grazed Guiteau's head and penetra ted his coat, which was hanging on the side of the cell. Sergeant Mason surrendered himself to his command ing officer, Capt. McGilvray, who immediately put him under arrest. Mason is a native of Virginia and has been nineteen years in the ser vice. He says he shot for the pur pose of killing Guiteau, and was sorry he missed him. He had be come tired of riding over cobble stones to the jail every day to guard the life of such a cur as Guiteau, so he made up his mind to kill him. He loaded his gun before he left the arsenal, and as soon as he reached the jail went to the window where Guiteau usually stands waiting and gaping for the arrival of the guard ; that he fired and that is all there is about it. Guiteau was overcome with fear and he pleaded for his re moval to another part of the build ing. His request will probably be granted." Paralyzed at Prayer. (New Fork Herald.) A Union prayer service was held! at the First Unitarian Church at Hingham, in Mass, on the 6th inst Rev. Calvin Lincoln, the pastor, had made an address and was in the midst of a fervent prayer for the res toration ot the President to health, when suddenly his voice began to tremble, his frame shook and his articulation became inaudible. The congregation was hurriedly dismissed, when it was discovered that his en tire right side was completely para lyzed. He was subsequently re moved to his home, where he now lies in a precarious condition. Mr. Lincoln was eighty-three years of age and the oldest Unitarian minister in the country. A Snow Storm. A despatch from Deadwood, dated 9th inst., says: "There was a heavy snow storm in the Black Hills on Monday night and Tuesday morning. Snow fell to the depth of five inches on a level here, and three inches at Custer City. At Bold Mountain the snow was two feet deep." And at that time we were swelter- ing with excessive hot weather. Joseph . Farmer, cf Halifax county, Virginia, who was Bent to the penitentiary for horse stealing, a few days ago, at one time paid taxes on $10C,090. He is quite an old man and belongs to a fine family. Storm at DanYille. A dispatch from Danville, Virginia, dated the 11th inst, says : "A violent storm of wind and rain, with considerable hail, prevailed throughout this region this evening, commencing ax aDoui sia. u ciuu.. w this city many trees were blown down and several houses and fences wfre damaged. The old Confederate military hospital, until lately used a3 a colored public school, was aemoi ished. A negro, who was in the building, had a leg broken and was otherwise seriously injured. Several other negroes were injured by the falling timbers. The rain fell in tor rents, forminer a damaging stream throuerh the streets and fields. It is feared that the hail has greatly in- iured the Arrowing tobacco. The ex tent of the damage in the county has not yet been ascertained. General News. Since 1854 the gold mines of Aus tralia have produced 590,500,000 ounces, worth $990,000,000. A Bridgeport (Conn.) gentleman lost $8,000, and dreamed that he found it near the railroad track where he boarded the train to go on a pic nic At. davliarht he went to the place, and sure enough, there he found it A constable volunteered to watch a store which was to be robbed, at New Sharon, la.

Dr. Qainn, one of California's mil lionaires, keeps twenty ships busy transporting his wheat to England. He owns 55.000 acres of rich grain land, 45,000 of which were in wheat this season. One continuous farrow is seventeen miles in length. A Sad Death. .Mr. John F. Hobbs, a young far mer of North Hampton, N. H., lost his life last Sunday while on his wed ding tour. He was on his way with his bride to Niagaia Falls by rail, and in a state of forgetfulness or carelessness allowed his left arm to project partly out of the car window; a freight train came by and a loose swinging door struck the exposed arm and crushed it. Amputation was performed soon after, but the suffer er died a few hours later from the shock. Burning Balky Horses. John P. White, a farmer of "West Hills, Suffolk county, started for home with a load of rye straw for Cold Springs, but on the turnpike one of the hordes balked and to start the animal White placed a sheaf of straw under the horse and then set fire to it. This started the horse and the team went off on a run, the fire communi cated to the straw on the wagon and both were destroyed and the team badlv burned. European Soldiers. An American traveller in Europe speaks of the fine appearance of the many soldiers. He finds the French soldiers to be short in stature, nervous in action, quick in movement and less careful in dress than the Germans and Ital ians, xne uerman soiaiers are arse and intelligent and take pride in tneir aress ana Desring. iub Italian soldiers are young and fresh ooking. Gen. Burnside Dead. A despatch from Providence, Bhode Island, dated 13th., says: Gen. A. E. Burnside died suddenly at 11 o'clock this morning at his residence in Bristol. He had been slightly unwell for two or three days, but was in the city last evening. The immediate cause of his death was spasms of the heart. Freezing Weather. A telegram from Fort Supply, In dian Territory, dated 13th inst, says : "During a norther that prevailed here last week a large number of cat tle were frozen to death. Of a herd of 600, feeding twelve miles from here. nearly 300 cattle and three horses were lost." State Slews. Baleigh Visitor: Just as the mail train on the B. & G. B.
