CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
Balelgh News-Observer. '
A
The first conviction under the Bergh"
law for the prevention of cruelty to
animals seems to have occurred in
Martin county, where Stewart Rogers,
colored, was tried before Justice J. L.
Ewell, last week, for killing his mule
by knocking - it on the head with a
fence-rail,-and on conviction was fined
$25. If Raleigh's deputy sheriffs and
police would keep their eyes open there
would be many arrests for gross cru
elty to animals is a common sight on
our streets adthe depots.
Here is another invasion of individ
ual rights to which we call the atten
tion of anti-prohibition stump speakers.
Why this meddlesome . interference ?
Did not this negro own the mule? and
had he not a right to knock "his own
property" on the head? Surely "our
liberties" are gone when a sovereign
negro can't bust his QWu mule's head
with a fence-mil., There is uo telling

To the Editor of Tbe Observer:
Washington, July? 17, The excite
ment occasioned by the assault on the
Uejidpiaflde
fnave about subsided. There now pre
vails s general f eehnff that tbe .f resi
dent i fully out f danger, and that it
wiimot beiong oeiore necan resume
the duties of his office. His recovery is
largely due to his fine constitution and
bravery.. At no time has he shown the
white feather. Even when he did not
expect to live many hours he expressed
his willingness to aie, lr uoa so wmea,
and at no time did he show desponden
cy or lack of that manly spirit which
nas always ueen ms cuarauierisuc. ne
has had nursing and attention such as
seldom, if ever, falls to the lot of a suf
ferer or invalid, x et. it is generally
conceded that without his splendid con
ditionthe result of a well ordered and
temperate life. he could not have lived
many hours after the shock of the sec
ond bullet.
The cooling apparatus applied some
days ago is a decided success. I talked
with a gentleman this morning who
had the privilege of examining it in the
basement of the White house. He says
it is quite a simple thing, although cum
bersome. It consists of two large tanks
which hold 16 and 231tons of Icq i respec
tively. Connected with the 1.6 ton tank
is a tank filled with plates covered with
crash or towelling and this . again; is
connected with a small- tank contain
ing about 600 pounds of ice; this again
is connected with the outside; o .airby
means of a large pipe. - A small engine
works a fan which forces the air oyer
the plates, through a pipe intg the tank
containing 16 tons of ice, and from
there it is forced through a large tin
flue to the President's room. The room
is now kept at a temperature of from 75
to 80 degrees, and can be fixed at any
temperature. The tank containing 23
tons of ice is operated upon in the same
way, and is used to cool the corridor
near the President's room and other
contiguous parts of the house,
; The would be assassin v is, breaking
tlown under bis confinement and exhib
iting great cowardice. His fiendish aapt
has cansed much discussion and many
suggestions as to what should be done
in the future to prevent such attempts
on the life of the head of the nation.
This particular case brings home the
fact that this country is suffering under
the heavy weight of office holders, both
State and Federal. It is thought that
out of our population of 50,000,000 of
people, about one third of our immense
population, is holding and dependent
upon those who hold office. Guiteau
was a chronic and habitual office seek
er. Like hundreds and thousands of
our citizens, he grew up and matured
with the idea that he must subsist on
office. Despairing of getting place, he
resolved to commit the horrible crime
which brought a great nation to grief
and his name to everlasting infamy
This recalls the history of France un
der Louis Philnppe. Under that mon
arch France was a land of office seek
ers and office beggars. The many at
tempts at assassination then and in
that country were attributable greatly
to the mania for holding office. Under
Louis Philippe the government had
something like 140,000 offices at its dis
posal. We have about 110,000 federal
offices alone. The bitter feelincr of fac
tion and the disappointment of office
seekers will continue until we get rid
of federal patronage. It is to be
hoped we will soon return to the posi
tion in which we were before the war
and that the. land will be freed from
the hungry horde of office holders who
now keep the country in constant tur
moil. Guiteau s crime has set people
to thinking.
The Secretary of the Treasury is said
to fayor some law which will collect
the internal revenue tax and dispense
with the army of officials now provided
for by law. He thinks a law which will
dispense with collectors and storekeep
ers and gaugers is practicable. That
distilleries can be taxed for their full
capacity, and more money collected for
the government directly from the dis
tilleries, than is now raised through
the collectors. The idea is to collect
through State officers or revenue agents
scattered through the country. This of
course is based on an expected large re-
auction or the tax on whiskey and to
bacco, which many members of Con
gress say will surely be made next win
ter. The great decrease in the nation
al liability on interest will relieve the
tax payers of a heavy burden, and low
er tax may be looked for.
Washingtonians expect a good deal
from Senator Ransom in bis action
atout themproyement of the Kidwell
bottoms, or Potomac flats. It is well
known that the Senator favors the re
clamation of the flats and improvement
of the river front. He will tayor large
enough appropriations to accomplish
this result. If he succeeds in this it will
be the finishing touch to Washing
ton, which is now deservedly consider
ed one of the most beautiful cities in
the world. This improvement would
give the city several thousand acres of
land which would make -a lovely park.
A Washingtonian says it must be called
"Ransom Park," provided always, that
he brings about the desired result. The
injptov ement contemplates filling in to
th Georgetown J channel; which will
giye made land almost to the middle of
the Long Bridge- The Current in the
channel will be accelerated one third
and this will aid in perfecting the sew
erage system of the city. A corps of
engineers jWlll soon go to work under
direction of Senator Ransom's commit-
There is nothing of interest in the

byTourgee, Shaffer, Bill Smith, and
many leading men in the State. It is
whispered that Shaffer is to have the

Russell and Canaday in addition to the
above named leading Republicans. It
is understood here that Tourgee con
trols Canaday and that he has brought

Postal Card Statistics.
New York Herald.
When Postmaster General Croswell,
eleven years ago, first suggested to
Congress the advisability of adopting
the postal card the idea was received
with doubt and misgiving as to the
success of the scheme. The wise gen
tlemen who, for some inscrutable and
mysterious purpose, are permitted to
hold seats in the national legislature
were under the " impression that the
whole thing was a fanciful European
notion which never could be natural
ized here, and that such an addition to
our mail facilities would be productive
of, to say the least, very doubtful re
sults. After two years of agitation in
Congress and in the press the idea was
finally put into -legislative form and
shape, and on May 1, 1873, the delivery
of the cards to the postmaster of the
country was begun. Contrary to the
expectation of Congress the card was a
great and immediate success. Business
men of all classes eagerly adopted it,
and in the first year one hundred and
ten millions of the little missives were
sold, yielding a handsome profit to the
government. The revenues of the de
partment did not fall off as it was pre
dicted they would, ana, except in some
few isolated cases, the cards were not
used for improper purposes. An analy
sis of the number printed every year
since their introduction shows that
their popularity, so far from waning,
is constantly on the increase. In 1874.
for instance, the number issued was,
m round numbers, ninety one millions.
Pour years later the number sold was
more than two hundred millions, while
the figures for the last fiscal year run
up to the enormous amount of nearly
three hundred and nine millions, which,
estimating the population at fifty
millions, is an average of six cards per
capita, uur own city aione nas con
sumed nearly thirty millions in a sin
gle year, or one-tenth of all that was
printed in 1881. The estimated net
revenue to the government, in this one
item alone, for the four years ending
March, 1883, is eighteen millions of
aoiiars.
