From oar Regular Correipondent v,No attaeksever made upon a President in either House of Congress were more cow ardly than those which' have been and are now being made npon President Cleveland fr having bough gold which he considers! necessary for the preservation of the credit of the government upon the bfht obtainable terms. Th attacks are cowardly be ause those who make them know that the President can not fully reply to them with out saying things which they are Pertain his patriotism : will prevent his saying. ! There are not t women in the United States whose reputa tion tor honesty and integ- nty are higher than those of LOrover Clevelnnd and. John G. Carlisle, and they have both s;iid in the most posi tive ternis that the contract fortheispue of those bonds to purchase the needed gold wa the b t to be obtnine I. RTiiblicnns in both Hone and Senate have hta.fd that the bonds caild have been exchanged for gold iu this country upon better terms. To resort to abus ol the men is too much like adopt ing their methods, but they tnnst have known when they made those statements that they vveif hilse. At is not ex- ected that either President Cleveland, or Secretary Carlis le will ever pnhliely say that American capitalists wne ap pealed to, and appealed to in vain, to furnish the gold needed by the government and take bonds to pay for it. Such a statement from the President or the Secretary of the Treasury would have a tendency to injure th" credit )f the United States abroad, and it is not likely to be mede po matter how much ubue may be heaped upon thun. But it is none the less cow ardly to take advantage of that. Ex-Speaker Heed isn't the chipper man he was. He was forced to show his hand on the g'dd bond bill. which was defeated by the House, and thereby he lost the support of all the silver Republicans, as a Presidential candidate. He thought he had a walk over for the nomination; now he sees defeat iu sight. The Republican Senators can yell "sugar trust" as loud asanybody when trying to catch votes, but when it comes to passing a bill like that for the repeal of the dif ferential duty on sugar which has been passed by th House and which would. while benefitting our trade with ofcrmany and the other continental European conn tries, strike the pocket of the sugar trust, they at once as sume the role of obstruction ists. The intelligent people of this conntry will have no difficulty i n spotting the friends it the sugar trust in the Senate. The Democrats have favorably reported this bill and want it to pass; the Republicans are determined to kill it without votingupon it. f Tbe House committee, on Rules has a difficult task in deciding which bills shall be given the time that will not be consumed by the appro priation bills during the re maining two weeks of the session. Some impoitant bills are being called to the attention of the committee, among them being theNicar nugun canal bill, which has been reported to the House as a substitute tor the bill which was once sent back tcf committee by vte of the House; the freetdiip bill, bills j for reorgunizhtion of the army and navy, bill for sur veys nf deep water canals, la bor arbitration bill, and the bill for the amendment of the copyright laws, which has been so strongly urged by fhe big newspaper publishers Reptesentative Springer, who retires with this Con gress, declares that he is not a candidate ft a the vacancy made by the sudden and la mented death of Hon. Isaac Pnsey tfray, late United States Minis'er to Mexico, and he adds that he would not aeijepi; any executive n pointment that would take him out of this country: which he considers quite good enough -for him. A strong effort is being made to get Senator Ransom nam ed as Minister to Mexico. Senator Hill is making a gallant fijht for hisresolution which reiterates the determ ination of this country to en deavor to maintain silver ana gold at a parity and de clares that in the event of failure it will pay ittf obliga tions in the best money, but therein not. much probabil ity o f its adoption. Mr. Hill's resolution is intended to be a "ompromise ami he says it should he supported by every r.ian who is a, belie ver in a single gold stand ard nor a single silver stand aid, bur all the same it is strongly opposed. Before the House voted on the gold bond bill it was thought thflf the bill of Sen ator Jones, of Arkansas, for the unlimited coinage ot sil ver, would be voted upon and passed by the Senate, but it is now considered doubtful whether any at tempt will be made to push it to a vote. The Census Bureau dies with Congrees. After the 4th of next month only a small force of clerks will be retain ed under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior to finish the work. The experience of Mr. R. t Whitney, an influential and prominent citizen of Martin dale, N. C, will no doubt be perused with inten-st by peo ple in all parts of the coun try. For years he he h a s ben subject to violent, at tacks of inflamntory rheuma tism: on the first cf Feb. he had an attack, which settled in one of his knees and caus ed almost unbearable pain, for two days. He obtained a bottle ol Chamberlains Pain Bain from V. M. Hous ton & Co.. merchants at Meek lenbnrg, N. C. He writes that it gave almost immediate re- liei and givet?

Men Than Sixty Sect Ions SUlea From tbe Democratic l aw. Mr. Bay's Speech ia the Home. 'I want to congratulate the people of theState,'' said Mr. Ray. "that. the end of this election humhng is at hand and the long looked for promises of the Fusionists are fulfilled as to the wonder ful prod n "t of the gigantic brains o the Big Five, I be- lieve it. is. I believe it was Cic ero who shaved his head and went into winter quarters in order to prepare himself to charm with his musical and matchless eloquence the liat- ning multitudes of the centu i ies. When he emerged from his seclusion, his hair had probably grown some, but he brought out with him a gem that ontshined the stars in the firmament. This im mortal Five unlikethe states man of old did not shave their heads, as most ot them were bald on account of wis dom and the weight of the responsibility that rested up on them, but they weni into seclusion, and the'last word we heard them say when they went out of sight was to damn for the thousandth time, perhaps, the Democrat. ie election law. They remain ed rill everybody was uneasy about them and the. nominal members of the Legislature were going to and for and asking wh re ure we at" "Had they not promised the people everywhere, fiom the mountains of the West, where the spiuce pine, tall and dark moan in the breath of the passing breezes to the sea where the wild, grand music of the storm has its birth, that the Democratic election law was an infamy and should be at once forev er blotted from the books? The people waited long t o r the fulfillment of these prom ises. and just as we were al about to despair, lo! t h i light bleaks, the clouds van iohand the Big Five appeal in sight with the new, improv ed and original election hi in its hand, shouting as they came, back, back, ye demons of Democracy, we have found an i formulated the most won ilerful election law ever seen by the children of men, ant Democratic frauds must go and forever. "At first I hesitated t o touch a copy of this wonler ful law. I got bolder and ven tared to put one in my pock et, and took it home. "Personally, I felt like never had committed a sin u gainst the election law and had never defrauded a mor tal man on earth out of vote, but having been elect ed under the inhuman 1 a w placed on the books by the Democrats, I felt a sort o original em. as it were a kind of i total depravity and eyer so little wasenough to place me beyond the pale of the Fusionist's paradise and like Eugene Aram, 1 M that night: 'That, guilt was my grim cliain b jrloin That lighted rae to bed. And drew tbe midiiiht curtains round "Next morning, after lay ing my prayers, 1 ventured with a feeling.of awe to read bUall. "Atflistl same to where Secretary means Secretary of State, and clerk, means' clerk of the Court, and precinct means territorial unit of elec tions according to 'the con- est and the singular meant he plural and oath meant nf firmation and so on. I knew I had never heard of any- hingon eaith like this be ore, and it surly must be original with the Big Five. Stolea from the Democrats. "I come to the next section ami its features seemed famil lar, and the next, and the next, and the next, and the next, and to my infinite and unspeakable amusement the Big Five had literally stDlen, soul and body, these sections from the Democratic election aw with the change of coun ty commissioners to clerks of the court and other? unim portant changes in some of the verbiage. Then I reach ed section seven of the new and wonderful lnw.and there I met an unfamiliar face. I will "admit it is not stolen from any civilized men on earth; for there is nothing in the Heavens above or in the earth beneath, nor in the wa ters down under the earth like it. It provides for the Chairman of the State Exe- utive Committee of each po litral party to recommend to the clerks of the ?ourt for each county suitable men for registrars and judges of elec tions for the various pre ci nets of the State, and that the clerksshall appoint those ... i so recommended. Of course you can see how this will heat the old way. ion can see why our worthy chair man, Mr. Pou, should of all men be expected to recom mend to the clerk of the court of Cherokee county suitable men forjudges and registers in Hanging Dog precinct. Or why Mr. Holton, the Repub lican chairman, should re commend to the e'erk oi tin court of Mitchell county suit able men for judges and reg istrars in "Scuffle Nubbin" or 'Loafer's Glory" precincts in that county . 1 soon saw it was a in o s t glorbus plan, and having broken the ice I read on, and found to my utter consternation that mori thai' sixty sections of this grand law were taken, stolen. Honiously taken from the Democratic law almost ipsinsimis rerbis, rerbatim, et literatim, et punctatim. "Yes, the Big Five ought to be indicted for larceny, with a count in the bill a gainst the Fusionists for re ceiving stolen property, and they could all be convicted before any honest jury in America for stealing the Democratic election 1 a w. There is not a decent line nor a section in the bill but what was pur'ioued from chapter 1G. of the second volume of The Code, and poor Payne, they have even pl nidered him, alter abusing and slan dering him and taking from him his seat in this House, have stolen oue of the best featuies of their bill horn him from the Payne law. And this is the party of re- brm, the party of progress I believe in honest elections as 1 do in everything else, : but I believe our standard of morals for1 the Anglo-Saxon race, with all theV advant ages, should be higher than the poor negro that goes to his daily toil like a galley slave, or the negro that loafs 1 on the goods boxes in the cities. "The bill is an incompetent . makeshift and cowardly sub stitute for what you prom ised the people. You got your offless by working on the prejudices of the people on the atrocities of the elec tion law and county govern ment, and hefe you come to the people with the Demo cratic law in your arms and tell the people it was the best yon could do, and for the few little chunges you made in that law the people will con demn .von. "One by one the roses fall and one by one the Fusion promises fail and fade awav. THE RADICAL LEGISLATURE. There is nothing remark able in the legislation and acts ol the Radical revolu tionists. . They are drawing their perdiem with a patri otic zest, and regularity that is quite lovely to behold. They find the sugar-teast sweet and toothsome, and they vwill continue to draw at it until the lastdav. When the end comes to their com paratively short legislative life each of the sucKers will be ready to say in the lone son.eness oi their souls ' If ho noon 1 was to be done for, 1 wonder what I was born for." Each of these mighty So! ons will be ready ever here after to take their reckoning and date their letters and rount the time from tbe year One, (otherwise 1695) when they had the glomus privi lege of playing a law-making and shaping the tempo rary outlook for 1,700,000 people supposed to be free if not exactly equal. Mes senger. "Perhaps you would not think so, but a very large proportion or diseases in New York come from carelessness about catching cold," says Dr. Syrus Edson. "It is such a simple thing and so com mon that very few people, un less it isa case of pveumonia, pay any attention to a cold. New York is one ot the heal thiest places on the Atlantic Coast and yet there are a great many case3 of catarrh and consumption which have their origin in this neglect of th3 simplest precaution of ev ery day life. The most sensi ble advice ia. when you havo one get rid of it as soon as possible. By all means do not neglect it." Dr. Edson does not tell you how to cure a cold but we will.
