JUAJ. BOBBINS' ADDRESS. - U ;
sujppose that all o the readers of
" ;The Observer .Have i;ead the address
wof HorktWml- M. Bobbins, delivered in
. this city on the 20th. Those jwho have
not must not fail to do so. If their
daily of yesterday has ieen misplaced
they can be furnished -with the address
as it appears in The Weekly Obsebv-
er Of to-day. It was an oration such
as it is rarely ever giveri to North Caro
' linians to listen to, or, for the matter of
that, to read. It was. scholarly; it in
dicated depth of research ; it was polish
ed and eloquent It improves upon
acquaintance; those who heard it de
livered are those who will most enjoy
the reading ;of it; those who read it a
second time will be more struck with
it than when tfiey read U first.
The oration was entirely appropriate
to the occasion, and yet "Fourth-of-
July" oratory is conspicuous in it only
by its absence. Maj. Kobbms ciemon
strated that a speech may be made on
an occasion of this kindi and yet not ne
cessarily be given entirely over to plati
tudes. It was patriotic' to the last de
gree; it breathed a pure North Caro
lina spirit; it brings the listener or the
reader face to face with the men and
the deeds of 1775, and the best tribute
that Can be paid to it is to say that in
" the vividness "of its so doing it proves
its author's own declaration that "hero
ism is contagious."
In its historical value, in the deduc
tions which it draws from the facts re
cited, in the manner of the statement of
those facts, and in the cqmmon voice of
thosewho heard and have read it is
proved that the committee of gentle
men who had in charge; the selection of
the orator for the one hundred and
fourth anniversary of! our great day,
buikled wiser than they knew.
This notice of this oration is a day
late. Yesterday our .columns were
much crowded. We could not at that
time say so much as this and it would
. have been injustice to the distinguish
ed speaker to have said less. But after
all the best and most forcible comment
upon the oration is the oration itself,
and the perusal of its full text we again
commend to th'e reader.
A Mulatto not a Negko. A case
in which the question of inter-marriage
between the races had been raised, came
up last week in one of the courts of St.
Louis, and the presiding judge . held
t that, the plaintiff being a mulatto, the
legal prohibition did not apply. The
judge thinks, that a person whose blood
is one-fourth of the negro and three-
fourths of the Caucasian race cannot
be classed as a negro, and he quotes in
support of his views a statute in force
before the abolition of slavery making
a distinction between negroes and mu
lattbes,and defining a mulatto to be any
person other than a negro, any one
or whose grandfathers was a negro,
and every person of one-fourth or more
negro blood.

Final Action
Washington, May 22. Senate.
Mpnnnald asked leave to introduce a
bill relatine to the use of the army, of
which he crave notice Tuesday.
Edmunds asked whether the bill was
intended to enlarge or diminish the ex
isting constitutional powers of the ex
ecutive in the use of the. army.
McDonald said it properly regulated
the President's powers under the con
stitution. The bill would show for it
self whether it enlarged or restricted
those Dowers.
Edmunds wished to know if, in Mc
Donald's opinion, its effect was to re
peal or only define existing laws, and if
tie thought any legislation on ine sub
ject necessary.
McDonald said tne nrsc inree sec
tions under the title "insurrection," as
they appear in the Revisedystatutes,
were in his mind in onenng uie dhi.
He desired to give his views at length
on Monday.
Edmunds thought no such legisia
tion necessary, it did not iook to tne
abatement of any fault in the existing
laws, but he would not object to the
introduction.
The bill was received and laid on the
table, and he gave notice that he would
nail it tin Mondav and sneak thereon.
Wallace gave notice that ne intended
to sDeak on the same subject after the
senator trom Indiana.
Edmunds gave notice that he would
sneak on the same subject when he
could get the floor under the rules
(Laughter).
The Senate then tooK up tne om to
prevent the introduction and spread of
contagious and lntectious diseases.
Harris stated that the present bil
looked to the maintenence of the exist
ing State health laws where they are
efficient, and to the co-operation there
with of the national board as far as
possible. lie also said that the appro
priation had been reduced from $650.-
000 to $500,000 on account ot the re
moval of direction to the board to in
vestigate the diseases of cattle.
- Mr. Eaton thought the appropriation
was too large and that $100,000 would
be ample.
Mr. Harris replied that $500,000 was
was little as the provisions of the bill
could be carried out with.
Mr. Eaton said he wished to vote for
the bill and hoped the appropriation
would be reduced to $250,000. He
thought this sum too large but would
yield something to the opinion of oth
ers. Mr. Logan moved to amend so that
the money appropriated should be dis
tributed under the direction of the
Secretary of the Treasury upon quar
terly estimates of the national board,
accompanied by statements of its oper
ations and expenditures under the act
adopted.
After some turther discussion, Mr.
Eaton's amendment to reduce the ap
propriation to $250,000 was rejected.
tar., i5 ' -
jur, VjUiikuu, in ;i speeci oi some
length, then pointed out what he con
sidered faults in the bill. Among the
objections to it were, he said, first, that
it makes offenses against State laws
punishable in Federal courts; second,
that such offenses are left so in the
jurisdiction of the courts that a man
may be twice punished for the same of
fense ; third, that the fine imposed falls
not upon the real offender but upon the
innocent owner of the vessel. He said
he should not vote for the bill because
he believed the subject did not belong
to national but to local; legislation.
;Mr. Harris replied that experience
had proved local legislation to be in
sufficient. After further remarks by Mr. Conk
ling, Mr. Edmunds, who wished to ex
amine the bill further, moved that the
Senate adjourn until to-morrow.

dueled a bill authorizing the Secretary
of the navy to place vessels and hulks

red to the committee on naval affairs.
The House then, at 12.30. resumed as
the business of the morning hour, the
bill to repeal and amend the laws rela
ting to the transfer of cases from State
to Federal courts.
The Republicans refused to vote on
the demand for the previous question,
thereby blocking business. Various
propositions were thereupon suggested
on both sides of the House but were
not acceded to. Finally, as all efforts
at a compromise failed, and as the Re
publicans declined to vote, the call
of the House was proceeded with,
After the expiration of the morning
hour the silver bill came up. The House
agreed to the committee amendment to
the eighth section which provides that
certificates of deposit shall be in -denominations
of not less than $15, instead
of $10, as originally provided. The next
committee amendment provided that
the certificates of deiosit may be compu
ted as part of the lawful money reserve
of national banks.
It was then agreed to allow debate on
the eighth section. 'Many members par

Several other minor amendments were

RiCHMOND.May 22. What are known
as the "gold cases" were taken up to
day in the united states Circuit court
before J ndge. R. .W. Hughes. These ca
ses embrace about a dozen suits on the
part of .the United States government
against exrState olficials who were in
authority at the time of the evacuation
of Richmond, for amounts ranging
from $1,000 to $5,000, and aggregating
about $20,000. It is claimed that the
insurgent government of Virginia had
in the treasury, on the 2d of April, 18C5,
a quantity - vi goiu nuBUTer, wiiu
which the officers of that government
paid themselves and their soldiers in

taking $5,000. By the public law the
conqueror is entitled to the property of
the conquered, and to the rights of ac

power against these officers, but does
not claim anything that belongs to the
