On the 30th of April millions of people will gather in New York to commemorate me virtues of Washington, and the A. A I 1 giw evem 01 ms inauguration as -President in that city one hundred jara ago. George Washington was born in Westmoreland county, Ya., Feb 22 2732. i The house in which he was born waa in a parish called by the family name of Washington, near Pope's creek, a small tributary of th mao, about half a mile from itsjunc- uou wuu mat river, it was destroy edty fire, during the boyhood of Washington, but in 1815 a stone with a suitable inscription was placed on the spot by George Washington Parke Custis. The family to which Wash ington belonged has not yet been satisfactorily traced in England. The genealogies accepted by Sparks and Irving and his other biographers have recently been proved to be inaccurate, His great-grand-father, John Washing ton, emigrated to Virginia about. 1 fifi7 with his brother Lawrence. George Washington was the son of Augus tine Washington and his second wife Mary BaU. After the burning of the house at Pope's creek, his father re moved to a house on the Rappahan nock, a short distance below Fred ericksburg. Here he died in 1743, leaving a large landed property to his widow and five children. To his oldest bob Lawrence he bequeathed an estate on the Potomac afterward known as Mount Vernon. Georsre received only the education of the schools of the neighborhood, and his instruction at them did not go beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic, with the addition, which muet have been somewhat exceptional, of bookkeeping and surveying. Washington made his fortune by surveying lands in Virginia. In the course of his surveying he frequently eame in contact with Indians and ac quired valuable information as to their names etc. Washington served in the war against the Indians at the age of 19 vears and with the v&nk of Mainr In 1751 George was attacked with smallpox by which he was slightly marked through life. Bv the death of his brother Lawrence, George ac quired the estate of Mount Vernon. In the troubles between the English and French over disputed territory, George Washington was appointed messenger to go 600 miles to confer ii ,1 1-1 . . witn toe rrencn commandant. 11 is mission was successful, though he narrowly escaped assassination by a treacherous guide. Un his return he was aDDointed Colonel of a regiment raised in Va. to drive the French from the Ohio river. This movement was unsuccessful, the eneaiy being too strong. In the Summer of 1o8 Geors-e Washington fell in lovo with Mrs. Martha Custis. the wealthy widow of John P. Custis, and married her Jan uary 17th 1759. Georee then re signed his military commission and located with his bride at Mount Ver- CHARLOTTE. N. C , FRIDAY APEIl118S9. 4 J vice president. Another striking proof of the stagnation of interest in the new constitution may be seen in the fact that, although the 4th of March, 1789, was fixed upon for the meeting of the first Congress, a bare quorum of the House of Representa tives did not assemble till the 1st of April, nor of the senate till the 6th; arid it was not till the 30th that Presi dent, Washington was inaugurated.

George kept a strict account of his farm re ceipts and expenditures (which every farmer should do). His farm consisted of 8,000 acres, half of which was in woodland and half in tillage. The lands lay in five farms, each with its appropriate set of laborers directed by an overseer. Puring his absence from home each overseer was required to make weekly written reports con taining everything done on the farm, including the condition of the stock and work performed by each laborer. He owned 124 slaves at the time of his death, June 1775, Washington was elected. Commander iq Chief of the armies of the Revolution. His career as a soldier in the Revolutionary war will not be rehearsed in this brief sketch,. There was grea.t opposition to the war among the rich classes of America and much ridicule was heap ed upon Washington. But he indured all and paved the way for a glorious freedom. He was a member of the convention which met at Philadelphia in JJay, aqd frined, e Oqqstitqtiqq of the yqiffld States-. Washington was unanimously elected its president; but as is usual in deliberative bodies of this kind, most- of the business was transacted in committee of the whole, Nathnial Gorbam of Massachusetts being placed by Washington from day to day in the chair.

On Thursday, the 30 of Am-il 17SO the ceremonv of In 911 Crura fin cr f rta r 0 wviug uue t irst 1 resident of the TTmr.rl Sto r no took place in New York, which was at that time the Federal capital. Long before the hour arrived, -the town swarmed with people; every tavern and boarding-house and private resi dences teemed with guests and lod gers. Many persons are said to have had tents on" the Common." The Hud son was studded with boats bearing visitors, and long caravans of carts began to arrive before daybreak, from Westchester, Long Island, and the Jerseys. The ceremony of the day was ushered in by a salute fired I irom tne battery. This was about six o'clock in the morning, and, even i lu' 1 1 at ims eariy nour, the streets were fast filling up. At nine, the church bells rang out a merry peal; at ten they summoned the worshippers to church, each pastor devoting the oc casion to imploring Heaven's blessin upon the nation and the first president. General Washington had now been in the city a week, having arrived on the twenty-third. He was living in a private house, the property of Mr. Osgood, on the corner of Cherry street and Franklin squarej but his household arrangements had not yet been perfected, as Mrs. Washington did not arrive for some little time, re maining at Mount Vernon until affairs were in a state of readiness for her presence at the new presidential man sion. The procession having arrived, and the hall accumed according tn t)i 4 - t TT r " programme, nothing remained but to proceed with the solemn formalities; ana, when it is remembered that there was no precedent in history for the inauguration of a Republican presi dent, one pan not but admire the , striking dignity which characterized the whole occasion. At the door of the senate chamber, to which the eyes of the whole vast multitude were in tensely directed, the vice-president met General Washington, and with consummate but unaffected ease and graoe of manner said "Sir, the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States are ready to attend you to take the oath required by tbo Constitution, which will be administered to you by the chancellor of the state of New York." "I am ready to proceed," was Washington's reply, made with his accustomed elegant dignity. The viec-president now led the way to the outside gallery; the president followed, with as many of the high functionaries as could find room, and all were presently gathered on the balcony fronting on Wall street. Of the group, perhaps the most striking person was Chancellor Livingston,, in a full suit of biaek, and, like Wash ington, one of the finest-looking men anywhere to be seen. Secretary Otis carried the Bible on a crimson cushion, and near him were Generals Knox and St. Clair, Roger Sherman, Hamilton and other noted persons of revolutionary fame. At the proper moment, the chancellor administered the oath, with great deliberation and emphasis, to Washington, who, bow ing down, seized the book, kissed it, and exclaimed, with c.loged eyes and much enQiQq '.'l swear, go help me God!" "t is done," the ohanoellor de clared, and. turninsr to the crowd ex claimed, "Long live George Wash ington, President of the United States !"

Laborers are complaining that they cannot ob tain employement and when they suc ceed in doing so the remuneration is -uuiciens. The farmers of our laud are falling farther behind each year. Few of them have money enough to pay current expenses for their farms, while nine-tenths of them are forced to purchase their farm supplies on time, and it may safely be stated that three-fourths are unable to pay their present indebetness. This state of affairs m- o- 0 - v jrcir, a LIU if it continues in the future as in the past tho producers of the on ii nf.rir iv 111 wn be bankrupt. This is not stating ii ivu eirong. . It is proper at this time to inquire into the cause or causes of this con dition. It may gj.8t be assume tnat class legislation contributes largely towards this depression of labor. An inspection of our statutes will) reveal the fact that there are manv laws fa. voring capital and few in favor of la- l mi uor. i he most casual observer can not fail to discover the rapid concen tration of wealth in our government. This process, begun during the late war between the States, has been sure ly and systematically carried out till little is left to the producers of the country but to submit to the din tut; nn'nf capital. Eroteetive tariff enriches the man ufacturer at the expense of the laborer and effectually enables the former to control the latter. The national baniing system of our country is anoth er branch of class legislation, bv which our bankers control the vol umeof our currency, increasing or contracting as may best subserve their interests. Havin? the nower it. h. comes quite an easy matter to con trol legislation. The special privil eges and immunities enjoyed by rail ways enable them to extort from the people an unjust proportion of the proceeds of their labor. Tbe immense appropriations heretofore made by the government to railroads has thrown into the coffers of these companies vast wealth. It is useless to mention the whole of class legislation. Suffice it ii - of the snuff 10 sav tnat most f our wealth has, bv mule before I ee Present systems, been concentra- ir an other classes were nnt "fr,,mj into leagues of offense Quoting further the language of the Republic, "an organization of farmers has become an absolute necessity, a maiicr or nte and death." "The RllmA C. 1 1 . rn. r-jci lunuei says, "a he process of fleecing the farmer has gone on for so long, and with such little complaint on his part, that the other classes, manufacturers and bankers especially, have come to think that those who till the soil were created for no other purpose than that of making other rich." The remedy in short then is : Join the Farmers Ali;na live up to its principles. Read The Mercury, learn vour rights t and citizens, and bavin? learned th PTY1 dare maintain tlipm nni . ' uuu Jicvr vi n will dawn upon us. The world will respect and acknowledge the farmers' power ana influence. The rising generation will sing the sone of triumgh, and the world will be made better and wiser. The cause above enumerated will be taken up in a series of articles that will appear in consecutive numbers of The Mercury. T. M. Smith. Blooming Grove, Texas. W.

Conway in Harper's Maga zine for April : "Major Ryrd Willis, whose tower ing form was the most striking figure in Fredericksburg to my boyish eyes, writes: "Mv father. Lewis Willis' was a schoolmate of Gen. Washing ton, his cousin, who was two years his senior. He spoke of the General's industry and assiduity at school as j very remarkable. Whilst his brother and the other boys at play time were at bandy or other games, he was be hind the door ciphering. But one instance of youthful ebullition is handed down while at that school, and that was his romping with one of the largest girls; this was so unusual that it excited no little comment among the other lads." "The families of the neighborhood at that time are so well known that we may pretty surely identify the large girl as Jane Strother, who mar ried Hon.
