Four steamers sailed from New York Wednesday filled -with tourists for Eu rope. The rivalry cbet ween railroads in the North last week reduced fares from Chicago to New York to $10. The Grand Lodge of Good Templars meets at Clayton, Johnston county, August 16th. Somebody has been slandering "Gath." They say he Is Clara Belle. Imagine "Oath" in that female Turkish bath. Sam Tilden is fond of picture books. It is said he has the finest collection of illustrated books in the United gtates. While 500,000 immigrants have come to the United States within the past six months, less than 10,000 have found their way to Canada. It is estimated that the total immi gration into the United States during the year ended June 30, 1881, amounted to about 668,000 persons. Hon. Nathan B. Webb and Hon. Jno. A. Peters are aspirants to the seat on the Supreme bench, which will be va cant on the death of Judge Clifford. The office-seekers have got impatient waiting for the President to get well. A delegation from Maryland made a raid on Washington Wednesday. No contributions to the Garfield fund have yet come in from Ohio. The men of that State are too busy hunting and holding office to find time for contribu ting to anything. Prohibitionists point out numerous evils that come from the indulgence in ardent spirits. Will the anti-prohibitionists show us one single evil that will come of abstaining from it? The city council of New York is making war on the banana skin. An ordinance has been passed imposing severe penalties for throwing it on the Bidewalk. Information has come to the Treas ury Department that the standard sil ver dollar is being taken with great avidity in South America, and bids fair to become the favorite coin there. Mr. Garfield sympathizes with Sitting Bull. When he heard that that gentle man was short of rations he generously proposed to divide his dish of oatmeal with him. The first mayor of any Northern city to recognize the colored man was the Democratic mayor of Philadelphia, who has appointed several colored men on the police force. From the advantage the patent medi cine men are taking of the shooting of the President to advertise their cou coctions, we'll begin to think after awhilo that some of them hired Gui teau to do the job. The revolver as a life-destroyer is sinking into insignificance since the toy pistol has loomed up. The num ber of deaths from the careless hand ling of this seemingly innocent toy is almost incredible. It is said that living in constant dread of assassination is affecting the Czar's mind. There ain't much fun in royalty over there these days. The fact is, emperors, &c., are not near as big institutions as they used to be. Senator Hill, of Georgia, has been suffering sometime with epithelioma in the mouth. Last Wednesday he had an operation performed in the Jeff er son Medical Hospital, at Philadelphia, and the doctors report that the pros pects are good for a rapid and perma nent recovery. The Greensboro North State helps Jas. H. Harris out of the snake-bite difficulty thus : James H. Harris ar gues that if the prohibition bill passes colored people who may be snake-bitten can get no whiskey. We suggest chicken entrails as better. Probably a law to destroy snakes would do. Capt J. A. H. St. Andrew, an Eng lishman by birth, but an adopted citi zen of Virginia, is dead. He was editor of the Farmville Mercury, a leading paper in that State, and his genial man" tiers made him a host of friends, who regard his death as a loss to journalism, and a loss to the State. Philadelphia Record: The Demo crats of Ohio do not appear to be be side themselves with enthusiam over their candidate for Governor. The Re publicans call him Bar'l waiter, but they are vastly afraid he will break open his barl. Mr. Foster may find that "a bar! is the toughest argument that can be introduced into an Ohio dispute. The following from the Bonham, XTexas) News, has a bushel of sense in it: "Those people who are afraid prohibition will not prohibit, should at least be willing to give it a trial, as that is their only reason for not favoring the move. A trial will do no harm and failure would only demonstrate their argument. m Savannah News ; "It is a humiliat ing commentary on the misgovernment of Ireland that the pending land bill should appropriate a million of dollars to promote the emigration of the Irish. There could hardly be a more signifi cant confession of inability to sol ve the problem which ages of neglect and igreed have made so complex as to stag ger the best British statesmanship, but whidh must nevertheless be met" They are 'bones aain. discussing Wm.

The Observes took occasion gome time ago to call atteniionr$o the im portance of a representation of thi3 State's products at the Atlanta Cotton Exposition, and we are glad to learn that this is to be done. At a meeting of the State Board of Agriculture in Ral eigh Tuesday, after discussing plans for securing immigration into this State, and other matters of interest, the snbjectof the cotton exposition came up and was considered with much spir it. We learn from the News-Observer that "the commissioner of agriculture was directed to proceed at once to make all necessary arrangements for a first class exhibition of the resources of the State at Atlanta, a resolution to that effect being unanimously adopted." Now this looks like business. It makes North, Carolina the fifth Southern State which has taken any' interest in that great Southern exposition, and' shows that she has her eyes open. It now de volves upon the commissioner to make a creditable display, and we have con fidence enough in the judgment, indus try and energy of Commissioner Mc Gehee to believe he will do it. We have a suggestion, however, to make to the people, for Mr. McGehee'a supplies of the products of the State are limited, being confined, we believe, to what is on exhibition at the agricultural muse um, eood enough as far as it goes, but too meagre to make a good selection from. Our suggestion is this ' Let the farmers, miners, manufacturers and mechanics of the State contribute speci mens of the products of the farm, mine, factory and shop, of superior excellence, and forward them to the commissioner at Raleigh, by him to be forwarded at the proper time to Atlanta. From these with what he has now at his command he can make such a collection as will do credit to North Carolina. State pride should make us desire to see a fine representation of our products, that our State may rank among the first, and make a good impression on the thou sands of people from all sections that will flock to that great exposition. THE FAltCE JEED. The Albany farce was brought to a close yesterday by the election of Lap ham, who received the full Republican vote. It seems that the stalwarts and half-breeds held a conference, resolved to call a caucus and the result of that caucus was the nomination of Lapham and his election. This is rough on Conkling, a bitter pill for the stalwarts ; but they will swallow it, because they can't do any better just now. It is humiliation to Conkling, triumph for Blaine, who was through all this busi ness Conkling's real antagonist. It is humiliation to Grant, too, who espous ed Conkling's quarrel, and threw him self unreservedly into the contest, as far as moral aid and encouragement went. Blaine showed masterly strategy in manipulating the convention. He drove Piatt frofiTHie field,electedMUler and then turned his attentioa-to Conk ling with the result; 'which we have seen. What particular appliances were brought to bear to produce this eleventh hour conciliation, harmony and hand shaking is best known to those inside the circle, who have a peculiar way of bringing about results when results are necessary. Miller was elected by the absence of some fourteen members which so reduced the number that though having four votes less than he received the day previous was elected. Strategy no doubt secured the oppor tune absence of some if not all of that number. It wears that look, at least. But whether or not strategy was used to beat Conkling in this last stage of the game doe3 not matter much, he was beaten and the administration car ried its point. What the result will be in shaping Conkling's future course we cannot con jecture yet till we have fuller informa tion as to the details of yesterday's transaction. He resigned and went before the Legislature for a vindica tion. Piatt did the same. He and Piatt have both been shelved, which does not wear the hue of a vindication for either of them. Perhaps Conkling may seek a further vindication before the people. We don't see how he can avoid it, unless - there) lias bacn some compromise effected by which he retires from the field and subsides for the pres ent. These are days of political huck stering and bargains, and perhaps he has found an equivalent for vindication in something of that kind. But in the public estimation he played and lost, and now retires under the wettest kind of a wet blanket. He struts no more just now. PROHIBITION AND THE WEVw Kl'B ,fIE!V. ,. We were handed the following com munication yesterday evening with the request to publish, which we do: To the Editor of the Observer "' lnjan editorial of yours of the 22ud inst., you stated, under the head of "Somethings that Prohitition will do." that if prohibition is adopted in the State we will get rid of the army of storekeepers, guagers, raiders, &a, I know to the contrary. The Statesville American ha3 fully explained this mat ter, and truthfully, too. And besides I saw some days ago a letter from one high in authority in the service of the United States government, to one of his trusted and efficient officers and followers, which stated, that in the event that Prohibition did c&rry in North Carolina, the authorities t Washington had promised him 200 ad ditional men to be employed as raiders to suppress illicit distilling, which was certain to follow. - Another important matte? thajt many persons overlook is the factthesa men who are sucn terriwe eye-sores to so many persons, are paid large sums of money. A correspondent states in your paper that it costs $ 434300 to collect the revenue which in eludes the pay of these men.' This money is all spent in this State, which is an important matter, and will i be aserions loss to the - State. If they are forced to leave it, as you are well aware that nearly;' all the revenue the State derives from the United States government w rrom tne internal ' reve nue department and postal service. - J Charlotte, N.C Joly 22, i&l. This a queer argument. In the .nifr tory of North Carolina; if we except the notable instance in 1870 when the' judiciarF. became ; exhausted," there has never been a time when 'her laNvs have been held la abeyance, and if "tbi 1 prohibition question is carried, thex will be too marfV. lynxyed solicitors and grand juries jforiipcit rastilling to ;b$i,carried:iiHyi dejeff suc cess ouxcoxresnpnaeut as mat ters how stand $434,000 are paid out to revenue officials, -wnicrr is au spent in North Carolina," but forgets to say that the tax to pay these officials is first paid in by the people of the State. Taking the statement of our corres pondent foreran ted,' for the purpose of argument, if the revenue officials are not to be removed, but two hun dred extra officials are to be turned loose to watch for illicit distillers. Two hundred men at the lowest salary ($4 per day) for 313 days in the year would cost $250,400. As our correspondent sees no higher object inthis measure than the simple one of dollars. and cents, pro hibicion will add a quarter of a million dollars annually to the wealth of the State according to his theory. By the way, The Observer will be glad to publish the letter from the offi cial "high in authority" bearing on this subject, and we will be obliged to our correspondent if be will furnish us a copy of it. MEASURES TO DETECT FOOD ADULTERATION. The Sun recently called attention to a prevalent and growing habit of food adulteration, which, until recent ly, has been comparatively jrare in this country, and which should be suppress ed as affecting disastrously the health of the poor, who are the most likely to purchase articles ' recommended by their cheapness. It is within the func tions of the State to exclude from sale within its limits all articles of food bearing evidence of fraud in their pre paration. The public conscience and the public health are alike concerned. The prevalence of depraved trade mor rals in England has been lamented by many English writers, and'has been in large part attributed by them to the too lenient treatment of frauds in manu facture by the public prosecutor. The New York board of health, acting un der a State law of; 1881, enlitled "An act to prevent the adulteration of food and drugs," lias taken the practical step of appointing inspectors to collect samples, and also appointed chemists to analyze them when collected. The articles to be dealt with fall into eleven classes: 1, fruits and spices ; 2, sugar, syrups, ice-cream, confections, honey, soda-water; 3, butter, cheese, oils; 4, wines, beer, spirits ; 5, tea, coffee, cocoa ; 6, organic chemicals, quinine, ether, food essences; 7, meat extracts; fish extracts, gelatine ; 8, vegetable and ani mal drugs ; 9, pharmaceutical prepara tions ; 10, grains, baking powders, &c. ; 11, milk and its preparations. Balti more Sun. One of the leading objections the Anti-prohibitionist make to the prohi bition act is that it prescribes what people shall drink when in fact it does no such thing, but simply says that liquor shall not be made and sold in this State, unless as prescribed by law. Yet none of them would object to a law against the sale of adulterated food, while adulterated food does not one thousandeth part of the damage that liquor does. It is a rrali known fact that not one pint in fifty of the liquor ia at dg place3 in the Unted States, is pure. A barrel, as it comes from the distillerv, with the aid of a pump and certain chemicals known to those engaged in the business may be multiplied into two, three or more, as desired, and the unsophisticated drink er fondly, fancies that he is quaffiug rye or corn luice of good standard and of venerable age. The main portion of the liquor of this day is mostly villain, ous poison, which is as sure to get the urinKer oi it in time as water win run downhill. It is only a question of time, and as that kind of whiskey has plenty of time, all it has to do is wait and take its man in for taking it in. sut, seriously, we asK tne canaia an- ti-prohibitionist if there is anything more oppressive in prohibiting the sale of liquor, which they all admit does much harm, than in prohibiting the sale of adulterated food which no one objects to save, perhaps, the dishonest man who deals in it. p a misstatement nailed. It having been falsely stated oh the stump bjli, Webster,of Rockingham, man anti-prohibition 'speech at Ker nersville, that Judge Shipp had stated in conversation with a gentleman at Ral eigh, that he saw much drunkenness in Northampton county while holding court there, the Judge, in a letter to Mr. H, A. Gudger, nails that assertion thus: "iaonoc Know vveDster; made no such statement to him or any one else; nor anything similar thereto. On the contrary thje very reverse of Webster's statement true. J found fewer crim inals in Northampton than in any oth er county in which I have held court." The Prohibition Meeting- at Moorea ; ville. We iire informed by parties Vho at tended, that the prohibition meeting at Mooresville day before yesterday was one of the largest gatherings ever wit nessed in that section of country. The crowd "was estimated to be near two thousand, and it is said that the best of feeling prevailed, though the enthusi asm was great. There were four speech es made during the day, three in favor of and orie against prohibition. Maj. Bobbins, ' of Statesville, Col. Thomas, of this city, and W. S. Ball, Esq., of Greensboro presented the claims of the ' proposed law, while Judge Fur ches, of Statesville, spoke in opposition. Judging from accounts, as well as the speakers, it is very plain that the prohi bitionists had things pretty much their own way. All the speakers advertised for the occasion did not appear, a fact which left the whiskey side, (if there is such a thine in Mooresville in a bad fix as far as combatting arguments was concerned.

The con vention then took recess until 1.30 this afternoon. Albany, July 22. Lapham has been elected by a full Republican vote. During the recess of the joint con vention the Republican members of both houses of the Legislature met in the Assembly chamber. Senator McCarthy was called to the chair. The roll was called and thirteen Senators and sixty-two Assemblymen answered to their names. Skinner moved the roll be called for the purpose of nominating a candidate for the United States Senate to be voted for in joint convention. Draper offered as a substitute that it is the sense of this conference that the caucus committee should call a caucus for this afternoon, and that a special committee be appointed to consult with the caucus committee to make the call, and in case of refusal on the part of the caucus committee that a special committee call a caucus. He sustained his resolution by arguing that the cau cus must be bad and contended that unless one was held other stalwarts would retire. Hayes also opposed the turning of this conference into a caucus, but main tained that it was in the power of this conference to call a caucus. Senator Robertson stated that he had been instructed to call this conference, and was assured by those making the request that they would abide by its results. Assemblyman Carpenter, in arguing for a caucus, said that there was less than a majority present. The chair called on the secretary to announce how many were present, and he said there were 72, which number was over a majority. Robertson said he was now told if this conference would adjourn till 5 p. m., they would all come in and join the others. Wooteh asked how many had said so ? There might be only two, There were members here who refused to answer to their names. Senator Holbert asked that his name be called.. It was called and he said a crisis had now arrived.
