Reporter and Post. * P APE u FOR THE PEOPLE Watered at tin Ddnburif S. Pottl-ujjice Second Close Matter. THURSDAY, MARC H 24. ISB7. THIS PAPER CTia^JSJSSJS POLITICAL ASSKS3MKNTB. Hon. William M. Ivins, city cham berlain of So w l'ork says that from 1880 to 1»86 tbe amount annually as sessed upon tbe candidates for office in that 011J bis been from SIOO,OOO to S"JSj,OOO. In making this startling rev elation bo cut s for tho ennctment of laws that shall take entire control of elections, an J thus relievo candidates from the demands that arc now made on thorn. TUK »SALKOb' TIIK Is. kO.KAIL HOAD The so called Staypor-Ives syndicate of New Vork has purchased a controll ing interest in tho baltiuiore Si Ohio Railroad, in behalf of tho Uiohinond and West Point Terminal Company. The latter Company control!* the 'Rich mond & Danville Railroad, and has lately acquired a controlling interest in the Kast Tennessee Hoad. It owns more than 42,000 shares out of tho issue of 50,000 shares. It is under stood that the Pennsylvania Railroad takes the management of tho 15. Si O. Hoad. This is regarded as the largest transaction ever made in this couutry. OXFORD'S FORTITUDE. The situation of the losses by the fire soourge in Oxford,Granville county lust week, has been accepted with a most commendable degree of fortitude. \\ o copy fro:« tho Charlotte Chronicle : "It is said ou the day after the fin business notices were distributed whieh indicated that though half the bushiest quarter of the town was laid in ashes, the Oxford tubaeoo market remained and still remains as solid as a m"at-blocli with prices as high as in any other mar ket in the country. The merchants win were burned out lor the most par sought new quarters at onee and pu out their bids for business bvforu tin smoke had cleared away from the ruin ■ of the foruii r stand:. Such a spirit o determination is nit to be daunted und we rejoice in the fact thai Nor it Carolina has such pluck) business uiei and such a progressive town as Oxford.' TIIK CAUSE OF OUR SITUATION Some of our farmers attribute the loi price of tobacco to the bad crop year ii 1886. True that had something to d' with it, but, any one who will look a the situation, must see that the priueq a cause is an over production, « Ith r.earl; every State in the Union growing to bacco, or "stuff" which fills the placi of tobacco, it cannot be different, and a we have said before, we now s.»y to ou farmer friends, that good or bad cro] years the djy for common tobacco ha: passed in this part ut North Caroliua as well as in the fine tobacco sections it Virginia, and it you cannot make line tobacco you had better let it alone, d Dot make any. You can make ten do), lars grow.ng some other crops while yoti make one dollar making common toDucec don't you know it? t uti't jou see toi yourself? Just think one minute,where can you buy a peck of potatoes, a cab bnge bead, a bushel of corn, rye, oats peas, beans, turnips ouious, or apples, a dozeu eggs, chickens, piekles or a pumpkin to make a pie, where can you get a load of hav, fodder, shucks, or straw, a pound of butter, beef or pork 1 A few, aud only a few of our farmers bavo any of theso tilings to seli, in fact very few havo enough for their own use at borne, but nearly all arc buying-, or would buy, if they had air. thing to pay with, and if they were to soil. We have made common tobacco, and spent tho little we got for it for fertilizer so long, that we have nothing to pay for the thibgb we need. Don't you think it time that wo were trying to make seme thing to eat, in place of giving the little money we do get for western bacon, lard and floor. Northern potatoes, cabbage, butter, hay and seeds of every kind ? Shame, shame, shame. It is a sbame, that we, with our productive soil, where we oan raise almost everytning we need to eat, or wear, as cheap as they can be raised north, or w«st, should continue to pay oihers for them, with a large per oent added for froights. and profits to tbe dtaler for hauling. No wonder w complaiu of barJ times. Til.-: DRUMMERS TAX. Tlie Raleigh .Ycics-Obxerver ot the 19th give* the opinions ot Mr. .l ustiec Bradley of tho U. S. Supreme Court against tlio constitutionality of tho Drum iners' Tax, an J Chief Justice Waitc's dissenting opinion in which Mr. Justice Field »i.d Mr. Justice Gray concur. The ,\ews in commenting on the decision says : "Seven years' acquiescence in a con struction of a statue, we believe, has been he'd to fix the meaning ot the law; in this ease an acquiescence for a century has had no weight with Mr. Bradley. Generations after generations have gone to the grave innoceuily believing that the states had a right to tax drummers, but Mr. Justice liradley has, in a nails eating mixture of milk and water, ob scured the subject so that ho has satisfied himself of their error, lie has, however not satisfied Chief Justice Waito: nor Justice field nor Justice Gray. Indeed while tho Chief Justice's opinion goes to the root of the matter, it is amusing to note with what contemptuous silence he passes over tlin illogical and mean ingless argumentation of Justice Brad ley. The common sense of the country will try tho case dc novo and when the court is reoiganned as it will be at no dis tant day this decision will probably be quietly ignored and the law declared conformably to tho constitution, to the precedent, and to the practice of the states." IRON IN ASIIKIMC M'V. Extensive beds of irou arc said to exist on the knobs iu the vicinity ol llolton, Ashe county, though it is only two or three years sinco iron ore begau to attract attention : .n that county. The Jcffeison Philosopher says: "Tho land is being negotiated for ex tensively by a gentleman, backed per haps by a company, who evidently means ' Business. It is reported that soui prospectors from .New York will soor ! visit our county. Our people si.ouli 'not be too sanguine, however, with re ffurd to their ore finds or "blossoms 1 ' a' 1 it will require an expert iu mining mat ters to decide whether the ore is valua , blu or not." The trustees of Princeton Collc'l j , Imvo tcported unfavorably on the pi' ' position to change ihe na - re of tlut in stitutiou t-J Princeton University. Tin use of the word university has beei much abits .1 iu America. According to the use of the word iu England it h only applied to an assciublag ■ of colic ges established in any place such a' Oxford, Cambridge, or to the govern ment of .i number of colleges situated n different places like the University ol I oudon. On the coutiucut of Europe I 1 the word is used to denote any iiistitn- I tiou in which are taught all brunche : of learning. CURRENT COMMENT. ! It will be a cause of deep regret to a great many people if Mr. Carlisle con cludes to accept the office of Secretary of the Treasury, which, it is understood ! President Cloveland is prepared to offer hi.-n. Not but that Mr. Carlisle would 'uiakoa highly acceptable head of llie Treasury Department; indeed, from his long acquaintance with fiscal matters, aud his careful study of the problems ol taxation, it can be said that he would : be exceptionally Gtted for tho duties ol this position. Hut it seems to us th it it is a very much easier task to secure, by selection, au acceptable Secretary ol the Trca»ury than it is to procure, by election, a suitable Speaker of the House of Representatives.— Huston Ikruld lmi hep. THE -UMMERVILLE SHOCK. CHARLESTON, 8. C., March 18.—A dispatch from Summorville says that the earthquake shock at 6 o'clock this eve ning was the worst that has occurred in five months. It has caused D'OIIIO ex citement, because il was thought to b 1 severe enough to do the town c ou: daui« p -e j A fire at Luiubcrton,Robinson county nn Sunday 13th, destroyed over sixty stores and dwellings. Loss about $l5O - And a fire occurred it Wilson the same morning, by which property valued at SB,OOO was lost. The Richmond Hotel in Buffalo, N. Y., was burned early last ICriday morn ing. At least twelve persons are icpor ted to have perished in 'he fire, besides | many to have sustained injuries. STATE NEWS. Monroe Enquirtr- F.xpretr. Accor ding to ilie tone of tlie papers in tho tobacco belt * liurd times aru affecting tlnt section as well as this. All tobacco will not do any better than all cotton. Raleigh vVtvj- Observer: Some very foolish and sets&tional figure.-) are going the rounds of the press to tho effect that there will be a deficit in the State revenues of $207,000. Tlio deficit then i'»nnot amount to more than $130,000, unless tho expenditures have been coii iderably increased, which wc do not think is the ease. KayottoviHe Observer : Tho oottnn si'ed mill has now been in constaut operation fur several yenrs, using about 1,000 tons ot seed per year, aud turning out over 400 barrels pel day. The meal is extensively used by .iur farmers as a fertilizer with beneficial results. There is no better fertiliser. As to ihe oil, we all kn.iw to what use that is put, for we use it daily in our lard, cheese, but ter, soap, &c., aud tbiuk it good. W'eldon vVeuw : A gentleman iti tho lower cud of the county inform d ua a few d»ys ago that ho planted last year five acres in peanuts, and on the saiue farm thirteen acres in cotton, acd made more money on the peanuts than on the cotton, lie sold his peas for 73 cents a bushel ; they arc now worth 91-80. He also told us that the farmers of that section would diversify their crops this year more than ever boforo. NL-W Hem Journal: The new Gov ernor's mansion at Halcigh, it is -aid, will cost about $55,000. Not too cost ly, perhaps, for a tire-it State to build for the accommodation of her chief ex ecutive Mfijer, but it is entirely too big a mansion fir a Governor to live in on a SI,OOO salary, unless the policy of th« people is to elect nous but a rich inan to be Governor. The General Assembly has fixe/ the rate of taxation for the next two years at 20 cents oil the hundred dollars valuation of pro perty and 00 cents on the poll. This ia a reiluction of live cents. I'harlotte Chronicle: For the first time wilhiu the past thirty years tho ei«il docket of Meckler.burg has been clean; 1 tip. lt is hig'ly probable that when the next county campaign j>"ii«, there will be less of a scramble fir the i Hi v of Sheriff than lias beeu known in Mecklenburg tin years past. The cause will be found in the fact that the Legislature .J at its recent session, pnned a law releasing the Sheriff from ih» duties of tax collector, and provi ding for tli el-otion of a county tax collector by the people. The result of this will be to materially rcduee the salary of the county Sheriff. Charlotte D'mtcrat: The misdemcan or of carrying concealed weapons is now within the jurisdiction of the justices of the peace. The punishment prescribed is riot IKS., than thirty days' imprison ment, ur fine of not less than ton dollars nor more than fifty dollars. When we look out froui our office window and - e so many wa »on loads uf bacon, corn flour, hay, bran, being hauled from the railroad depots to our mercantile establishments we cannot help but think something is wrong in the management of farm affairs in this section. The statement of the three national banks of Charlotte will be found in our advertis ing columns. These institutions are officered by good financiers having the confidence of the people and are a cred it to our city. We are (leased to hear good reports from tho wheat crop of tho surrounding country. Of course it is too early to make certain calcula tions, but tho prospect so far is encour aging.
