mwM Charlotte bserocr. OHlB, R. JONES, Editor 4c Prprlar KSYMRID AT THB POST-OfTICT IT UHABLom, N O.i 18 8B00KD-CLASS HATTOB.1 WEDNESDAY, FEB. 8, 1882. The small pox has disappeared from Winston. Australia freezes meat and ships it to England. Miss Genevieve Ward, the actress, thinks nothing of a ten mile walk. P. T. Barnum, the showman, has a baby a baby elephant, which appeared a few days ago. There are families in Hancock coun ty, Georgia, who are entirely destitute of food. I m i mm There was one bald headed man on Guiteau's iurr But he wears a mous tache as an offset. Since the "V lenna disaster seats neai the door have been at a premium in European theatres. m i ! Northern trains as far South as Rich mond. Vireinia. were delayed last Saturday and Sunday by heavy snow. Between small-pox and scarlet fever the undertakers in New York are do ing a satisfactory business. General Abe Buford, of Kentucky, has joined the church and abandoned the turf, of which he was a bright and shining member. Mr. Blaine has opened an epistolary correspondence with Mr. Arthur about his peace conference. Mr. B. drives a quill very dextrously. It costs the city of Philadelphia sixty six thousand dollars to publish in the papers its mercantile appraisement list. Some fat for the printers. There is a prisoner in the Tombs, in New York, who is to be hanged on the 10th inst, and is glad of it. as he says hanging will be a relief from the vexa tions of life. Marvin, the Dolveamist. leads the choir in the Virginia penitentiary When not leading the choir ne is en gaged in trying to saw his way out through the bars of his cell. Mr. T. M. Healy, who, with Messrs, O'Connor and Sheehy, has been lectur ing in the United States for the benefit of the Irish Land League, reports that the amount of funds raised by their ef forts will reach the sum of 80,000. If Judge Cox has the discretiou which it is said he has, to dispose of Guiteau's body he should so dispose of it as to prevent it from falling into the hands of brutal showmen to be luged around the country and .'exhibited for money. We have had enough of Guiteau in life without having his grinning coupse thrust upon the public, The Nashville American is rather severe upon Jeffersonian Democrats It says: "Dr. Fekon, the Georgia Inde- pendent, says he is a Jeffersonian Dem ocrat. There are a great many of them; but Jefferson would not recog nize himself in any of them. They are the motliest and mongrelist of old patch work political garments." Atlanta Constitution: We recently naa a paragraph aoout cookoline, a new combination of cotton seed oil for cooking purposes. Since then we have had an opportunity of testing the gen uine arucie or mat name, ana it ap pears to be all that is claimed tor it. A curious undertaking is on the car pet at Batavia, New York. A monu ment to Wm. Morgan, supposed to have been murdered by the Masons, is to be erected there, and over two thousand persons have already contributed to its cost. The Georgia papers are illustrated mis ween, ine leading ones have a page of cub of Guiteau. his brother and sister, the lawyers on both sides, judge, crank Sergeant Mason and crank Jones, the jury and even the prison van. The van sets off the picture and gives it a cheerful look. Renewed reports come from the southern tier of counties in Illinois that the deplorable condition of the inhabitants produced by the scanty crops of last year continues, and that, despite the relief measures and the aid extended by the public at large, there is stUJ great need of help to prevent starvation. ENLIGHTENING THE MASSES. We clip the following sensible article from the columns of the Colombia, S. C, Register, and commend it to our readers: "A fair correspondent urges l'w jtsss of the State to take up the free .school question so as to create a wholesome public opinion in behalf of popular ed ucation. For one the Register pieaas that it is doing its whole duty in the matter. But what can the press do with a people who won't tak a news- paper; wno wont reaar uova it uuu look like spitting against the wind to wrestle with such people? The school house is the skirmish line of the press. The people must be taught to read and have the capacity to assimilate intel lectual food before the press can find a fulcrum for its power. The neglect of the press by the people of the State is but another expression of the fearful incubus of ignorance. "The press feel that education of the people i3 their opportunity, and they cannot afford, from a business point of view, if no higher one, to neglect the claims of the school house. And this not only in one class or one direction, but in all. "The brain power of the State cannot lie dormant without the whole body of society suffering loss, any more than our fields can be neglected by the work ers without a woeful want at harvest time. We all feel this; we all see it; not that any system of education sug gested is perfect, but that any system is better than none; and that we must stir ourselves in this matter to keep abreast of the world. But habit is a fearful thing, and we cannot convince people, who have no sort of education themselves, that they are called upon to make any sacrifice to give their chil dren the benefits they did not enjoy in their childhood. They have no intel lectual appetite, and their children, more or less, share this with them. Not only this, there are educated people who cling to the -notion that education is for the few and not the many. And that 'too much education' makes the masses unhappy by filling them with aspirations they can never gratify, which amounts to keeping a man in feeble health lest, if he were in a sound condition, he could not respond to the cravings of a healthy stomach. They fail utterly to see that these aspirations are healthy prompt ings to fare better which lead to effort, and effort put to good account i3 wealth -is all." It is a hopeful sign to see the press of the South calling attention to this vital question as many of the leading papers are now and have for some time been doing. The Wilmington Star has been doing able and noble service in the cause, and is doubtless doing much to bring about the result that all friends of education so anxiously desire. We may talk about progress, building up our enterprises, developing our resources, but while these will be effected to a greater or less extent, they will be effected with much less effort, and with better re sults when the enlightenment of our people is advanced and education be comes the rule. We believe in enter prise, we believe in every encourage ment to anything and everything that will bring our glorious sunny South land to the front materially, but still more would we wish to see her come to the front intellectually, for then her material progress would be a matter of much easier accomplishment. Every dollar and cent invested in the cause of popular education is well invested and will come back ten-fold in the future; of course we don't mean extravagant appropriations for fancy branches of instruction in the schools, but for lib eral appropriations to secure a good rudimentary education to every child in the State, upon which the scholar may build for him or herself in after years. Educate the masses and the State is made greater and stronger. Keep them in ignorance and she must linger in the background while her more en lightened sisters march on in front and win riches and laurels. FROM THE CAPITOL. THE SENATE HEARS ItEPORTS, APPROPRIATES 97,500 TO A GAR FIELD MONUMENT, SHIES FROM THE PENSION ARREARS RILIi AND DISCUSSES THE MORRILL TARIFF. CHEERS FOR CONKX.1NG. Atlanta constitution: There seems to be a movement going on among the colored people - a serious, quiet move mentthat will put the coalition t its trumps. The movement is not an or ganized one, but it is a part of the evo lution of events. The white republican officeholders in Georgia would do well to paste this in their hats. COOPER APPOINTED. A wire special announces that T. N. Cooper has been appointed collector of this district in place of Dr. Mott, re signed. There has been a pretty lively fight oyer this appointment, the princi pal contestants being Messrs. Cooper and Jenkins. We suppose now the contest will be transferred to the Sen ate where, no doubt, an effort will be made to prevent his confirmation, un less there has been an understanding and a truce between the contestants, by virtue of which his opponents will make no further opposition and let his confirmation take place. They asserted some time ago that they could defeat his confirmation in the Senate if nomi nated, so that they have a chance now to prove what they said. COOPER ON TOP. Oscar Wilde lectured in Brooklyn Saturday night. The aesthetic and un aesmetic went 10 near mm to the num ber of about 1,800. There was a dis position to rowdyism when the lecture was about half over, but he quit read ing and looked dignified until quiet was restored and he concluded without further disturbance. Nominated am Collector. Special to the Obseiver. Washington, Feb. 7. T. N. Cooper was to-day nominated by the President for Collector of the Sixth District. This breaks the ice and it is likely that other nominations will follow close upon the heels of this. But will Cooper be con firmed ? Wm. Armstrong, an ex-councilman or William Jf enn's town, urea or ope rating in that limited field, went over to New York and got to fooling around Wall street, and now reports 8150,000 to $200,000 less than he went in with. Dead broke, house, bank-stock, horses, &C sold to meet the demands of credit ors, lie bears the reputation of being honest, too honest for Wall street. Sadden Death. Winston Leader. On Sunday morning last Mr. Jas. E. Allen, father of our townsman, Capt. S. E. Allen, appeared to be in good health, ate his breakfast and took his seat be fore the fire. He had scarcely done so when he was attacked with disease of the heart, and died while sitting in the chair. He had been subject to these attacks for many years. Mr. Allen was 72 years old and leaves a large circle of relatives and friends to sorrow for him. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, and will be buried to-day (Tuesday) with the honors of that order. Mr. Allen was known to many of the The House Hears Reports, Favorable And Adverse, and Lays the Chinese Rill Aside to Tackle Appropria tions. Washington. Senate. -Reports upon private measures relating to pen sions, the relief of officials, securities, and kindred propositions, occupied the greater part of the morning hour.These included favorable reports upon the bill granting temporary use of the Uni ted States barracks at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to the State Institution for the Blind. The chair submitted in response to the Senate resolution of enquiry a statement by the Secretary of the Treasury of the fees and costs collected under the law, from American ship ping during 1881. Bv Garland, to grant to the Mississip pi. Albuqueque and Inter-Ocean Rail road company, the right of way through the Indian Territory. Bv Farley, to admit free of duty steam plow machinery adapted to the cultivation of the soil. Morgan, from the committee on for eign relations, reported favorably the bill in relation to the Japanese indent nitv fund. Hawley reported favorably from the military committee the bill to retire Brevet Brigadier-General Meigs, with the rank and pav of a major-general. On motion of Dawes, a resolution was adopted calling for the report of the acting commissioner of the general land office of April 25th, 1881, in refer ence to the right of occupation by set tlers of any portion of the Indian Ter ritorv. On motion of Harrison, the Senate bill for the delivery of 130 pieces of con demned bronze cannon to the society of the armv of the Cumberland for a Gar field statue in Washington was consid ered. The committee amendment sud- stituting the provision for the payment bv the Secretary ot w ar to tne society of 7,500 out of the proceeds of the sale of condemned ordnance, was agreed to and the bill as ameuded was passed. Unfinished business: Ingalls reso lution approving the pension arrears law came up at 1 :15 and was laid aside informally. Coke was then awarded the floor for a speech upon the tariff, the Morril commission bill being taken up to al low him to speak. He favored the tariff revision by a committee of the two houses and hoped for a report from them and final action thereon at the present session. Upon the general ques tion be advocated a tan ft tor revenue with the addition to a free list of every article upon which a tax for revenue is unnecessary and charged that the Mor rill system by its monstrous taxation enriched a few manufacturers while destroying revenue and burdening peo ple, especially the agricultural class. Coke concluded at 4:10 p.m. after speaking for three hours, when several measures of no general interest were passed. The pension arrears resolution was taken up and laid over as unfinished business, and at 5 p. m., the Senate ad journed until to-morrow. House. On motion of Vance, of North Carolina, a resolution was adopted directing the Postmaster Gen eral to furnish the House with such in formation as he may have concerning the custom of sub-letting contracts for carrying the United States mails. Crapo, of Massachusetts, chairman of the committee on banking and curren cy, reported a bill to enable national banking associations to extend their corporate existence. Buckner, of Missouri, presented a minority report, which, with the report of the majority, was referred to the House. Calendar. Lord, of Michigan, from the commit tee on foreign affairs reported back ad versely the Nicaraguan claims bill, and it was laid upon the table. Gibson, of Louisiana, committee on commerce, reported a bill to extend the limits of the port of New Orleans; put on House calendar. Bills were reported from the com mittee on public buildings for the erec tion of public buildings at Oxford, Miss., and Augusta, Ga., which were re ferred to the committee of the whole At the conclusion or the morning hour Page, of California, called up the special order being a bill to restrict Chinese immigration. Prescott, of New York, antagonized this with a motion to take up tor pres ent consideration the apportionment bul, as the order setting apart to day for the consideration of the Chi nese bill made it subservient to the ap propriation bill and apportionment bill. Page yielded, but asked that it be made.the special order for consideration as soon as the apportionment dui and the postoffice appropriation bills were disposed of. Ellis, of Louisiana, objected upon a point of order. The sneaker decided that the appor tionment bill presented a privileged question. Page raised the question of consideration. Toe House decided yeas 163, nays 03 , to consider the apportionment bill by unanimous consent. Ryan, of Kansas, was permitted to report from the committee on appro priations, the Indian appropriation bill, and it was referred to tne commuteo of the whole. It appropriates $4,920,203, which is 'J2 1.511 less tnan ine esu mates, and S351.600 greater than the amount appropriated for. the current year. The number of agents is reduced from 67 to 60. Prescott was awarded the floor for the purpose of debate but yielded for the amendments which were submitted as follows: By Anderson, of Kansas, for fixing the number of representatives at 32o: bv Burrows, of Michigan, at 321 : by Joyce, of Vermont, at 362 ; by Page, of Colorado, and Springer, of Illinois, at 319: bv Bri2rs. of New Hampshire, at 324, and by Robinson, of Massachusetts' at 320. Prescott then proceeded to re view the Question. The bill was sharply criticized by several crentlemen and advocated bv others, but the debate to-day indi cated that it had more enemies than friends. Pending the discussion the House ad journed. A Remarkable Instance of the Revel of the Stalwarts .Reform ltidlcul-ed. -Albany Dispatch to tie If. Y. Mall and Express. The annual feast nf t.h Alhanv Grant Club, which took place at the Delavan house last night, is generally looked upon as of more than ordinary significance. There were special efforts maue in tne roasts, speeches and demon strations to elorifv Roscoe Conklinar. His name was brought in in all con ceivable ways, giving the feast the ap- Eearance oi a pre-arranged plan to ring him forward for some position in the immediate future. He was allud ed to as Senator, the ablest man in thi3 country, the leader of the -Old Guard of 306 at Chicago, in laudation of the twenty-nine voters who stood by him in the last legislature. The crowd responded to each allusion with the wildest demonstrations, criviner unmis takable evidence that the Old Guard were ready to march under his lead again, it was Conkhng. not Grant, that they were there to honor. The most significant feature was the bold attack made by two of the regularly se lected speakers on civil service reform. Martin I. Townsend. in renlv to one of the regular toasts, opened this attack ana cnaracterized all who advocated it as Miss Nancys in politics, and he then took the ground that the offices should be field as rewards to the workers. This line of talk was applauded to the echo. Anson S. Wood took up the same line at some length. The impression was given that the gathering was held for the purpose of placing Mr. Conkling at tne rront and to rally the Old Guard on an anti-civil service reform platform. An Appeal for the Families of the En tombed Midlothian ruines. Richmond, Feb. 7. A meeting of the citizens of Midlothian was held to-day ror tne purpose or torming a plan to procure relief for the families of the entombed coal miners, Col. T. O'Brien in the chair. Rev. D. B. Winfree, Hon. George H. Jewett, and Messrs. Jacob Roach and John Manders, were appointed a relief committee. It was resolved that the newspapers throughout the country be respectfully requested to ask for. and receive contri butions for the aid of the sufferers, and to forward the same as fast as possible to the relief committee, Coalfield, Va., or tome irst .National I3ank of Rich mond. The following appeal is made to the public: We appeal to the sympathy and generosity or the public lor contri butions for the relief of and allevia- viation of suffering, of twenty-six wid ows and one hundred and nine orphans thrown upon this community by the recent terrible explosion in the Midlo thian company s coal mine in this town- snip on the 3d inst. At the time of the explosion there were S2 men in the mine, every one of whom was killed. Thirty of them were married and leave widows and children, the great majori ty of them in a helpless and destitute condition. To have this large addi tional number of dependents thrown upon this small and impoverished com munity in one day in mid-winter forces the necessity of appealing for outside aid to prevent as far as possible further suffering and distress. The Richmond and Danville Railroad company will carry free all packages sent to the relief committee at the Coalfield.
