Governor Bartlett's death therefore made a republican, Lieutenant-Governor Waterman, the chief ex ecutive of the State." Entered at the Post Office at MocpMB N. C, as secoxd-class Mail Matter. THE PRESS THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS nifXTjflff , I YAWED BY I.YFLl'ESCE ASD ITBRIBED MOOKSVILLE, N. C, FROM THE CAPITAL- Correspondent to the Times. Washington, Sept. 23 ,1887. -: As an echo of the- Constitutional Centennial, I may with propriety re fer to the widely circulated newspa per report of the snub administered by Mrs. Cleveland to the ferocious Foraker, of Ohio, at her reception, or rather the President's, of the several (-rnvftrnnrs: That the first ladv of V w - - . W the land did give the Ohio Governor a good snubbing there seems to be little reason to doubt, and beyond question he deserved such cool treat ment; for his coarse insults heaped upon the President. And, besides, Mrs. Cleveland only followed her husband's?example, for President Cleveland himself snubbed Foraker by omitting to acknowledge that offi cial's recent invitation to visit the Ohio Capital during his projected Western tour. And this reminds me that the Hon. Thos. E Powell, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, met with a kindly reception during his visit to the Capital this week, and gave a most encouraging report of the political outlook in his state, from a Democratic stand- point. One day this week the President and Secretary Bayard were in a close and lengthy consultation, and it is surmised that some important matter of State probably the disputed Ca nadian fisheries question was under consideration, or it ' mav have been . in reference to the vacancy in the office of the First Assistant Secretary. But, however it may be, it is be1 lieved the consequences will be of great importance, as something of the kind is generally the outcome of srich a meeting. So far this month, the Government receipts have exceeded the disburse ments more than fifteen and a quar ter million dollars, but a deduction must be made on the bonds purchased which do not appear in the statement until the end of the month. The abstract of the report of the Controller of the Currency on the condition of three thousand national banks of the country at the close of business on August 1 last, makes an excellent showing for that corpora tion, and is satisfactory to the Gov ernment, if there has been no mis representation of facts for fraudu lent purposes. I hear that the Republican Senate will oppose the confirmation of sever al of the President's recess appoint ments, notably those of United States Judge Allen for the Southern Dis trict of Illinois, and Montgomery, of Michigan, for Supreme Judge of the District of Columbia. The chief ob jection against the latter is certain damaging allegations concerning his course as Commissioner of Patents to say nothing of pome obstacles of a more personal nature. Some old war charges which are probably groundless have been raked up against Judge Allen, which when sifted, will, I think, hardly be worthy of serious consideration. Senator Voorhess expresses him self very emphatically concerning the seating of his colleague, Senator! elect Turpie, whom the Republicans have threatened not to admit as a Senator, on account of the alleged ir regularities of his election. The Tall Sycamore has a very simple plan to thwart any such scheme upon the part of the Bepublicans ; he says that if they refuse to seat Turpie, that . he, Vorhees, will object to the seating of every Republican Senator elect, and there are several of them. The republicans of the House will make a big fight to unseat Elliott, of S, C, and thus retain the services of Smalls, the last colored member of that body. If the former is not un seated, then " for the first md since the reconstruction period,; "Our Broth cr in Black" will disappear from the popular branch of Congress. ' In the last House there were ' tWo-s Smalls, of S. CH and O'Hata, of NYC. The FRIDAY, SEPT. 30, 1887. ratter was also defeated? xo relieve tue stringency in the noney market, and avert a possible 4$anic, the Treasury Department has nade an offer to nurehase fourteen 6nd a half millions of four and four nd a half per cext bonds, at certain Ixedi prices, within limited dates. Ionev IS sn t.iorhf. fViof iha Tra aanrr I. -m -j o"" viiv- '""""'J Ueis it to be its dutv to relieve the pmraercial world in the manner stated. President Cleveland has formulated Kprograme of his Western and South ern tour; he leaves on the 30th inst, Sjjing as far West as Omaha, and as jar South as, Montgomery returning fere on Oct. 22. About 1,800 insolvents returned by fie sheriff of Halifax countv. And line-tenths of this number ves nine- Ben are colored people and for poll x alone. The los s to the coun ts, or rather to the poor house and the ee schoob from this insolvent list is pout $4,000. We believe one-fourth the poll tox goes to the poor house tyd three-fourths to the public schools. Now is it honest, is it right is it Mir to tax the property of the whites cu educate this class of people who will rijt even so much as pay their poll tax' pen every dollar and more besides is uW to take care of their old infirm, ti1d to educate their children? We aijB no candidate for office nor do we mt any office, therefere .we can sfeak our mind on this subject regard le 3 of the consequences. Nor shall v; (. speak for the Democratic party. Bit for ourself only. We are in fa- vr ot a law matinff it a misdemeanor, th a penalty attached of ten dollars J cost in each to pay poll tax aDd $50 a failure to pay taxes on property to go to the school fund. And if cannot be done then we are in fa- collecting one cent on property m the State for school purposes. If the colored peo ple can't afford to pay a poll tax of one or two dollars a year to aid in their protection and education then we are opposed to taxing the the white people to educate them And we are not sure, but in educating them, we are not warming an adder into life to bite us, and A sepeut to sting us. Scotlank Neck Democrat. We've got a chromo of Black Jack Logan for the man who can tell a big ger snake lie than the following from the Lincoln (Neby Journal. A valued subscriber relates a most touching story of the devotion and unselfishness of a pet snake which sacrificed its own life to save the prop ererty of its master. The snake was fourteen feet long and was given to the gentleman by his father, who charged him to take care of it as though it were a child. Having a loving disposition, the snake soon became a household pet, and all sorts of caresses were lavished upon it. The other night a storm occurred and the lightning was terriffic. Several buildings in the neighborhood were struck and destroyed, and the snake, seeing the havoc, determined that it would save it benefactors house. It took the tine of a pitchfork in its mouth, crawled up to the roof, and stood on end with the tine pointing upward, acting as a lightning rod, for four hours, when the electric cur- rent struck it and it fell to the earth a corpse. A special from Brownville, Texas, gives details of a fearful cyclone at that place on the night of the 21st. The damage is estimated at $1,000,000 Seventy small houses were blown down and three hundred others un roofed and rendered unfit for occu pation. In Matamorus a dozen houses of the better class and from one hun dred and fifty to five hundred small houses were prostrated by the wind, while from four to five hundred others were unroofed. Countless heads of cattle and sheep were lost an I crops of sugar cana were completely pros trated and destroyed Snow fell in Maine Sunday morn- lag; ' 1 T w BY CA1Y." NO. 38. Yadkin Valley News: The hail of last Thursday afternoon did much damage to the tobacco crop in West field and the section east of that town snip. Wilmington Messenger: An old colored woman, left her home, four miles from this city, on Wednesday night, putting her little niece in charge of Polly Scopeland, a colored woman living with her. Not being able to suppress the dying, the Scopeland woman deliberately arose, heated the poker red-hot and burnt and mutilated the child on parts of her person so indecently horrible and cruel that a description thereof is unfit for publica tion. Charlootte Chronide: A little 12 1 year-old son of Mrs. Elizabeth Hill, in Gaston county, met with a horrible death yesterday, by having his head caught in a cane mill. The boy was standing in front of the upright cylin ders, through which. the cane is passed, when the "sweep" struck him and knocked him down. Unfortunately, he fell the towards mill and the hair of his head was caught between the cylinders. Before the machine could could be stopped the boy's head had been drawn through the machine and crushed into a horrible mass of bloody pulp.
