Washington is troubled with mala
rial fever. If that was all the trouble
at Washington the country could get
along.
Has the refusal of President Garfield
to appoint Jphn itussell Young minis
ter to China anything to do with the
onslaughts that paper is now making
on the aforesaid Garfield?
There must be lots of bad whiskey
.down in Georgia to account for the
number of fatal encounters and mur
derous assaults the papers of that State
chronicle.
Conkling charges Garfield with ex
cessive economy in veracity. It is
probably true, for Garfield could never
have attained the eminence he has in
the Republican party if he had adhered
strictly to the truth.
The New York Legislature has pass
ed an act abolishing compulsory Hell
Gate pilotage. The average New
York legislator thinks he can go
through Hell Gate without any pilot,
and he is about right.
Gov. Wiltz, of Louisiana, has pardon
ed S. M. Thomas, recently convicted of
manslaughter, and sentenced to one
year in the penitentiary, for killing his
brother-in-law Dixon, for the seduction
of his, Thomas's, daughter.
Col. Thomas A. Scott, the railroad
magnate, has been so ill at Philadel
phia, that his friends entertained no
hopes of his recovery. But he is rally
ing and it is thought will be strong
enough shortly to be removed to the
sea shore.
The Grand Commandery Knights
Templar closedrts session at Wilming
ton Wednesday. The only business
done was the adoption of a constitution
and election of officers. Next place of
meeting will be Durham on the second
Tuesday after the first Monday in Oc
tober. T. C. Evans, in his sprightly paper,
says it is the shan't feature of the pro
hibition law that Gov. Reid and others
object to. The shant's are a very essen
tial part of the programme in the good
government of this world. There were
ten of them thundered on Sinai, and
from then till now they have
been the foundation of the laws
of government in all God-believing
countries. No, no. Take the
shants out and the whole fabric of
order falls to pieces and chaos reigns.
Even Russia moves. The determina
tion of the government to take an in
terest in the welfare of the 3,700,000
peasants who rent lands and aid them
in becoming landholders is one step in
the right direction which in time will
be followed by others. These peasants
Who have purchased lands will be re
lieved of a considerable portion of their
annual payments on account of land,
while all accumulated arrears will be
remitted. All proprietors who have
not yet arranged to sell holdings to
peasants will be compelled to do so by
1883."
The Louisville Courier-Journal, of
the 11th inst, is a mammoth sheet, the
biggest thing in the way of a newspa
per we have ever tackled. It is about
the size of an ordinary bed quilt The
Courier boasts that there is no other
office in the world that can print a sheet
of that size at one impression. Ken
tucky is noted for big things big men,
big cattle, big-footed girls, big pump
kins, eta, big Bourbon, and now comes
the big Courier-Journal trying to
spread itself over all creation, and to
cap the climax it will only be a few
years until the"dark and bloody ground"
will be making "three gallons of whis
key from a bushel of corn."
THE INSANITY DODGE.
In murder trials these days the plea
of insanity has become so common as
w be regarded almost a matter of
course. If a man, harboring in his
breast the resentments of years, meets
the object of his dislike on the streets
and shoots him down, it is suddenly
discovered that he was insane; if filled
witn Daa wnisicey ne goes home at
night and beats his wife to death, he is
found to be insane; if he hunts up a
poor betrayed girl, whom he calls sister
and savagely murders her, he is insane ;
li he deliberately points a gun and
pours a handful of buckshot into the
body of an aged father, insanity comes
to his relief, and the more coolly plan
ned and diabolically executed the better,
the greater the atrocity, the more pow-
nui element it becomes in the defence:
In point of economy, at least, for justice
does not meetconsideration, it would be
better to repeal the criminal code as it
, ' applies to murders, and send them red-
t . handed to some friendly asylum, to be
treated and turned loose in a little
while to indulge their insane freaks on
other victims.
There Is a judge in California, how
ever, who does not believe in the in
v sane dodge, and recently sentenced two
mra who were tried for murder and
out in the usual plea. This judge in
atructed the- jury that the insanity
nnfc ha established at the time the
fhnrder was committed, not by infer-
mm imfc bv unquestionable proof, not
rn hm nninionof experts but by facts
- which left no doubt in the minds of the
iury.t ' ---"- ' .
If judges generally took this vie w of
it Justice would be more frequently
. dispensed and murders , would be less
frequent. : . : ' ' . J
A GROUNDLESS ALARM.
Some of the Democratic State papers,
such of them as are opposed to the pro
hibition movement, entertain the fear
that it will be dragged into politics, be
come a party issue and act disastrously
upon the Democratic parly. We think
this is a groundless fear. Some of the
most active and ardent prohibitionists
in the State are Republicans, promi
nent in their party and trusted, as are
also some of the Republican editors.
It is true the Legislature which passed
the act was a Democratic body, but it
was not passed as a party measure, for
it was supported by men of both par
ties. There is no danger of any party issue
now, nor will there be in the f utnre, for
if the people endorse it that will be the
end of it as far as any public discussion
goes, and if they reject it, it will be
heard of no more on the hustings for
sometime to come. It is more than
likely that some of the Republican pol
iticians will endeavor to make capital
by false representations, . but the mass
of the people have too much sense to
be deceived by such false representa
tions, for they will understand the mo
tives which inspire them.
That was tried in the recent election
in this city and failed. It may be tried
in the State and it will fail as signally.
We said if the prohibition movement
be defeated it will be heard of no more
on the hustings for sometime to come.
We do not wish to be understood as
saying that it will be a dead question,
for such questions when onoe agitated
never die. It will go on in the pulpit,
in the press, in (he organized societies,
in the domestic circle, till the people
are educated up to it in this btate as
they havo been in others, where at one
time it met with as stubborn opposi
tion as it is now met with here. Time
and experience are educators that con
vince when the strongest arguments
fail. It was so in Maine when the issue
was sprung thirty years ago. It is so
in other States where the issue has been
SDrunff at a later date. Great reforms
cannot be accomplished in a day, nor in
a week, nor in a month, nor in a year.
Habits of a life time cannot be changed
in a moment. Customs recognized for
ages cannot be abolished at once, and
we are not among those who, though
ardently devoted to the cause of pro
hibition, believe that it is going to re
sult in an instantaneous millenium.
Its good effects, however, will become
so anDarent to the people of the State
that the indifferent and the antagonis
tic will become its warm supporters
and defenders, and in time, through its
agency, the habits of the people will be
so formed that prohibition will he an
established fact, sustained not by com
pulsion but from choice.
A BAD START AT HEFOKJI.
When Secretary of War, Lincoln un
dertook to break into the arrangement
by which certain favored military of
ficers were permitted to live in Wash
ington, lounge around idly, and draw
pay regularly, he "bit off more than he
could chaw," as his father sometimes
said when speaking of people who were
attempting more than they could do.
The first man he struck was a lieuten
ant, who, for seventeen years, has been
hanging around Washington, and draw
ing his pay regularly tnougn never
with his regiment. He was popular in
fashionable society, to which he gave
all his time and talents. Mr. Lincoln
ordered him to his regiment which
created such a stir among the fashion
ables that they came down on him in a
body, and he had to surrender and let
he lieutenant stay where he was. With
such a poor start we suppose he will
give it up as a bad job and let the
oungers kill time and draw pay as
heretofore.
The Asheyille News the Republican
organ of the mountain country comes
out vigorously for prohibition, and
closes a pointed editorial in the follow
ing sensible lines : Let this question
be agitated in a spirit of kindness, not
making war upon men or a class of
men, but upon principle and questions
of right, and good order in society.
THE IRISH POTATO.
We clip the following, which may be
of interest to North Carolina farmers,
rom the South Carolina Spartan :
We would make a few suggestions
to our neighbors in North Carolina in
regard to Irish potatoes, if we could
only get a hearing f rem them. Here in
South Carolina we can raise a very
abundant spring crop, but they do not
keep well until winter. A second plant
ing is too uncertain to depend on. The
flavor of the North Carolina potato is
equal to any we have ever tasted. The
reeriess is, pernaps, one of the very
best varieties, but any kind that is
smooth, solid, brittle and white will do.
After getting a good variety and rais
ing a good crop of large potatoes they
snouia be assorted ; large ones separa
ted from the small. They should never
be exposed to light longer than is nec
essary to dig and get them to a dark
cellai, or a bank in the ground or in
tne side ot a mil. Every day that a no-
tato is exposed to the light detracts
from its flavor. In fact a potato arrow.
ing on top of the ground becomes irreen
nu very unpaiataoie. xney are totallv
unfit for table use. When they are ex-
posea ro tne ugnt ror a snort time the
oauxo uuemiuai cnancfi raires man a nu
when thev erow on ton nf th orrrmrm
Then to our neighbors in the mountains
we would say plant a good variety of
the potato; gather in the fall and bank
them up as soon as possible. Pack
carefully in barrels when you ship so
jLcop me iigui irom mem. in tnis way
a potato can be placed on our markets
that cannot be excelled by. those of
jxortnern growth.

REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE.
t:.
llope They Hlajr Get
oat of the Tan-
I fl
Washington. May 13. The Repub
lican Senators held a caucus this morn
ing for the purpose of individually re
porting to each other wnat progress, if
any, has been made in the effort of
members or tne caucus to narmonize
party differences in regard to contested
nominations. No definite plan appears
to have been agreed upon, but several
Senators say they were encouraged by
Xhe v conference this morning to hope
that a satisfactory adjustment may yet
De effected.
During the conference attention was
called to the fact which has quite gen
erally been lost sight of that the action
taken by the caucus last week in regard
to contested cases extended no further
Elan to prove that they should not be
ronght before the Senate until clear
ing the docket of contested business,
and various Senators to-uay announced
that from and after the time when this
clearance shall be effected, which is ap
parently very near at hand, they will
not enter into any agreement or any
understanding in regard to any con
tested nomination, but will hold them
selves free to move for prompt action
upon all such cases in accordance with
their individual judgments and re
stricted only by the rules of the Senate.
In view of these announcements it is
considered that an attempt will be
made to obtain such action on the sub
ject and unless controversy in regard
to Robertson's nomination be averted
by some other means, it will no doubt
be brought before the Senate soon after
intervening business shall have been
disposed of. The caucus to-day ad-
lourned suoject to tne can oi tne cnair-
man.
The London Tinien on the Frcucn-
Tunis Treaty.
London, May 13 The Times says
tho constitution of the Ministerial
State, relative to Tunis, made in the
French chambers yesterday, will be re
ceived throughout Europe with unmix
ed amazement. Every political section
in England agrees that the reasons for
the expedition advanced by M. isarthe
lemv St. Hiliare, the French minister
of Foreign Affairs, are merely pretexts,
and that the real reasons which the
latter part of his circular reveal are
unworthy of any State that professes
to be guided in its international rela
tions by the ordinary rules of morality.
It would be idle to pretend that the ac
tion of France will not somewhat
weaken the sympathy and friendship
entertained for her by England. In all
the difficult negotiations which marked
the concluding stages of the Eastern
question, England received no help
from France. The Ureek question was
dangerously compromised by her with
drawal at the critical stage. The new
tariff i3 justly regarded with great dis
favor. We sincerely hope that diplo
matic and commercial friction of this
kind will lead to no permanent un
friendliness between the two countries,
but there is no denying that France
has done herself harm with English
public opinion by the Tunis affair, it
is not a feeling of jealousy, commercial
or political, that produces this result,
but one of concern that a nation which
seemed to have entered upon a better
path should allow itself to be turned by
fancied -commercial interests into a
course not in accordance with the best
traditions of public law.
Treaty Between France and Tunit
Paris, May 13. In the Senate to-day
Premier Ferry announced that the
Franco-Tunican treaty was signed yes
terday. It assures to France the right
to occupy positions which the h rench
military deem necessary for the main
tenance of the order and security of the
frontier and coast. France guarantees
the Bey security of person, State and
dynasty and the maintenance of actual
ly existing treaties between regency
and European powers, the ey not to
conclude any new international con
vention without previous understand
ing with France. French diplomatic
agents abroad will be charged with the
provisions ot Tunisian interests, ine
financial system ot Tunis win oe regu
lated by France in concert with the Bey
to secure the better working or tne ad
ministration of the regency a subse
quent convention will determine the
amount and mode of collection ot war
indemnity to be levied upon rebellious
tribes, and guaranteed by Tunis. The
Uey undertakes to prohibit the importa
tion of arms and ammunition on the
coast south of Tunis. M. Ferry said the
text will shortly be submitted. He
hoped the Chambers would ratify the
treaty which guarantees the security of
French interests and the object for
which the expedition was undertaken.
