Vance will address a free trade meeting in New York city Friday night ' . , :..V ' IN CONGRESS. A correspondent of Journal wants Ilun. C. congressman at large. the Newbern C. Clark tor REACHING SOUTHWARD. It has been evident ever since the administration under Garfield lent it self to the coalition with Mahone, of Virginia, that it was the policy of the Rfinublican Dartv to divide the Demo cratic party in such of the Southern States as were open to overtures, and thus gain by bargain what it could not achieve by the force of its own num bers. The programme as far as Vir ginia was concerned worked pretty well, and facts soon became apparent that a similar movement was on foot in some of the other States, and the sr called independent movement was ac tually begun but has" thus far made but a very sickly progress. In Georgia it has got along so far as to secure the establishment of an organ at Atlanta, and the holding of a confer ence of the leaders who enunciated a platform, which platform, however, does not yet show any startling follow ing. In this State it got along so far as to receive an invitation from the colored delegates assembled at Goldsboro a short while ago, to come in and join them, and be of their household. We presume when the Republican execu tive committee meets at Raleigh.which it will shortly, this invitation -will be supplemented by another. The game that was started under Mr. Garfield's administration has been con tinued by his successor in a quiet way, for he recognizes the necessity of try ing to secure some Southern States to offset those that may be lost, or doubt ful, in the North, from the contentions between the two Republican factions, or from the defection of the Pacific States in consequence of the dissatis faction over the Chinese question. Just at this juncture the condition of affairs in South Carolina, arising from the prosecution of the citizens of that State charged with violation of the election laws, gives the "Washington Republican an opportunity to express its views at some length in the follow ing wooing strain: "We repeat that the suppression of negro suffrage is not necessary to white rule. We believe that the colored lead ers of South Carolina would at any time lend their aid to a good under standing with the whites. They cannot join a political cry of "Down with the negro T'and that is all there is of De mocracy. But they will forget all past wrongs and follow the lead of the white men of South Carolina who will leave the Democratic party to rot With the dead past which it represents and go forward as independent supporters of the laws of the land and the rights of citizens. "Would it not be better for South Carolina's best and most trusted leaders to exchange Democratic minority rule for independent majority rule? Would not M. C. Butler reflect more credit on the honored name he bears if, instead of representing only an unscrupulous fac tion, usurping the power it cannot rightfully command by votes, he would bravely lead South Carolina out of her present dishonorable dilemma and come back to the Senate bearing the commis sion of a majority, led by Democrats who had destroyed their party to pre serve the principles on which it was founded? Would this not be better politics than persistence in the present system ? Has South Carolina an y great interest in making national politics for Northern Democrats? "What better scheme for home rule can there be than a ready acquiescence ot the masses of the legal black voters in the leadership of those who are re cognized as best acquainted with public affairs ? This would involve an obliv ion of old and bitter antagonisms, the negroes have the wisdom and generosi ty to accept. It only means equality of legal rights. What a day it would be for South Carolina if enough whites would take the lead and bring it about. They would by such a course not only secure good government in South Caro lina, but they would become more im portant factors in national affairs than they can ever be as mere obstruction ists." Taken in connection with the fact that the Republican is regarded as the organ of the administration this is sig nificant, and is a feeler thrown out, not only to South Carolina, but to any other Southern State which may be open to negotiations. This is simply a feeler, but it will be followed up if it takes, and there be any encouragement for further effort and direct proceedings. The burial of Jesse James, the bri gand, in Missouri, was a queer jumble of religion and ruffianism. There were gathered together officers of the law friends of the deceased outlaw, members of his gang, and hun dreds of people led by curiosity, while the preacher read scripture verses and preached a funeral sermon for the con dolence of those who mourned the sud den taking off of the bold highwayman. Take it all in all it was a singular spectacle. Henry Clement, of Putnam, Florida, is the champion bear slayer; He claims to have killed three hundred in the past thirteen years. "Stubborn clients, build fine houses for lawyers" was the sage remark made at a legislative hearing in .Connecticut the other day. t . . - Nine steamers arrived at Castle Gar den, New Yoik, last Thursday bring ing 6,478 immigrants, which is doing pretty well for one day. Official mobs in Washington have coats-of-arms painted upon their car riages. Attorney General Brewster's is said to be of a gorgeous order. A Texas religious paper says that "thousand of good men are spoiled by marrying the wrong woman" but does not sav how many rood women are spoiled bymarrying the wrong man Col. Jack Wharton, United States Marshal of Louisiana, who died of ap- poplexy in New Orleans Saturday, was a native of Maryland, served the war in the Confederate army, was very popu lar, and one of the best story tellers in America. An Important Decision on Equal Rates Baltimore Sun. The decision of Judge Baxter, ren dered recently in the United States Circuit court in Ohio, in a suit brought against the Pennsylvania Railroad on account of a discrimination in freight charges on coal between Salineville and Cleveland, will prove of considera ble interest both to railroads and to their customers. The charges between the points named were graded accord ing to the amount shipped, the large shippers obtaining lower rates than small ones ne court neia mis w oe illegal. It held, also, that a shipper dis criminated against might either compel the company to carry his freight at the lowest rates, or might pay the rate de manded by the railroad company and afterward recover by suit the difference between this and the proper rate. This decision goes unusually far. It not onlv denies to railroads as common car riers the right to make a difference in price in favor of large quantities of freight, the right by which private cor porations are privileged to charge more for large sales than small ones, but it pronounces the contract between a rail road company and a shipper not bind ing and final upon the latter in case of hardship, because, having no other means of transportation, the shipper is helpless and not a free agent in con tracting. Reasonable as this may seem at first sight, the courts have generally held differently. Judge Baxter used the following language : "If a railroad corporation could with impunity carry the same class of freight over the same road and between the same points for one man or class of men at a less rate than they exacted from other and competing interests; if they could lawfully require one man to pay fifteen cents per bushel for the transportation of wheat from Cleve land to New York, while they did the same service for another and rival mer chant for ten cents, or bring other mer chandise for certain favorite friends and refuse to carry for others, they could make and unmake the fortunes of whomsoever they chose." The Judge's decision will doubtless be appealed from, and on the appeal re ceive the full consideration to which the importance of the interests involved entitles it. What is equality of rates ? Is it to be literally construed as in Judge Baxter's decision, or is it subject to certain limitations and refinements? John Hauck, a Cincinnati brewer, said: "1 will see that every man that works for me votes the Democratic ticket. If he does not he can't find em ployment here." John used to make his workmen vote the Republican tick et, but times have changed. It is law ful to compel laborers to vote for an employer's interest in Ohio, but not in South Carolina. The Ohio men happen to be white, which makes all the differ ence in the world to great moral idea folks. It is said that James Gordon Ben nett's steam yacht, the Namauna, now about completed, will be the most ele r gant vessel afloat. Namauna means ' the harem. Mr. Bennett is a harem scarem sort of a chap. The Chicago Tribune pronounces the criminal laws of Illinois, as adminis tered or rather not administered a farce. This remark would -apply to other States as weli as Illinois. It is hard to tell what a tangled shape the politics of this country is going to take in the near f uture. We have the consolation of knowing that the pros- A Thriving Colony. Goldsboro Messenger. A correspondent of the New York Post, who recently visited Martin coun ty, in this State, and witnessed the work done by an English colony in the swamps and jungles of that county, states that the results which accrued from the reclaiming of some of the waste lands by the colony surpassed the most sanguine expectations. On a tract of some fifty acres, cut into plats of four acres,with a central drain or ditch eight feet deep and six feet wide, connected with drains surrounding each of the four acre plats, were raised corn, millet; garden vegetables and fruits. Of corn fifty bushels to the acre were raised, and of millet five tons. Sweet potatoes weighing five pounds each were pro duced, and turnips, cabbage, beets and other vegetables in proportion, all with out manure or special cultivation, xne correspondent states that in a young orchard of apple, pear and peach trees he saw an apple tree of six years growth, whose trunk was as large as a man's leg, while one of the trophies is a pear weighing eighteen ounces, the pro duct of a tree only five years from the seeding. Strawberries and small fruits, including grapes, flourish luxuriantly. A Family Poisoned Fort Valley (Tena) Mirror. We learned yesterday of a wholesale poisoning in Crawford county, which came near causing the death of Mr. Yancey Jordan and family. It seems that William White, colored, had bound his thirteen year old son to Mr. Jordan for the present year. The boy grew tired of working for Mr. Jordan, and decided to poison the whole family, and thus enable himself to change his home. Accordingly, he emptied a box of rat Eoison into the family coffee pot, just efore the breakfast hour on Tuesday morning last Mr. Jordan, wife and children all drank of the coffee, and soon began to grow sick. Concluding that they had all been poisoned, emetics were quickly administered, and tne tamuy soon got relief. Mr. Jordan suspected the boy of the crime, and he was arrested and taken before Justice Roland for trial. He was convicted, and after the trial acknowledged hav ing taken the rat poison from a shelf in the cook room and emptied it into the coffee pot. He was taken to Knoxville yesterday and placed in jail. A Brief Session in Bot Houses , WAfflnNOTON, April 10. Sbnate. Dawes, Allison and Beck were appoint ed conferees on the Indian appropria tion bill. Garland (for Lamar, who is" absent) presented a memorial from the Missis sippi Legislature asking for a revival of the land grant of 1850 to aid the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad. Jonas presented a memorial from the commercial exchanges of New Orleans in favor of the levee bills and a liberal appropriation to carry out the plans of the Mississippi river commission. Bayard, from the judiciary commit tee reported a bill amending the anti polygamy la wr fixing the salaries of the election committee under that law at 85.000 per annum in accordance with recent recommendations ot the Presi ident Passed. A bill was introduced by Morgan, by request, granting the right of way over the public lands in Alabama and Flori da to the St. Louis, Montgomery and Florida Railroad and Immigration Company, and to allow the company to purcnase puuiic lanus m sara owiiq. Lamar, upon the application, of Gar land, was granted a week's leave of ab sence. Hawley presented a memorial of the Cherokee and Seminole Indians peti tioning for the maintainance of their treaty relations as bearing upon the pending Indian Territory railroad bill. The Senate bill authorizing the Secre tary of War to adjust and settle ac counts for arms between the State of South Carolina and the Unit6d States was passed. On motion of Davis, of West Vir ginia, the Senate bill reported by him to repeal, except as stated, an laws pro viding tor permanent or maenmte ap propriations, was passed. The excep tions are laws for the payment of prin cipal and interest on the public debt of the District of Columbia and Pacific Railroad guaranteed bonds for the sup port of the marine hospital service, Smithsonian Institute and Soldiers Home, for payment of interest on the Indian trust and navy pension funds, for repayment to importers excess of deposits and for payment of debentures or drawbacks, bounties, etc., under the custom revenue laws. The bill also provides that all appro priations hereafter to be made shall re main available for two years for the payment of expenditures properly in curred within the time for whieh they are appropriated, except as to appro priations for the construction of public buildings, rivers and harbors, light houses and forts, which snail remain available for a like purpose for four years, at the expiration of which period all balances for said periods shall be carried to the surplus funds. Saunders introduced a bill for the re lief of Wichita, Caddo and affiliated bands of Indians. It appropriates twenty million dollars, the same to be invested in United States bonds and held in trust for the Indians named, the interest to be paid to them semi annually in consideration of the relin quishment by the Wichitas of their right to about 4,000,000 acres of land, comprised within the Indian Territory and Kansas, and conceded to have been their original home. Referred to the committee on Indian affairs. Upon the announcement of the death of Representative Allen and the ap pointment of a committee to escort his remains, the Senate, at 2:05 p.m.; in further respect for the deceased, ad journed. -House. Thompson, of Iowa, sub mitted a majority report of the committee on elections in the contested election case of Mackey vs. O'Conner, fxom the Second Congressional district of South Caro lina, accompanied by a resolution de claring the contestant Mackey entitled to his seat. Printed and laid over for future action. Under the call of States bills were introduced and referred by McLaue, of Maryland, abrogating the 5th and 6th articles of the Burlingame treaty with China. Richardson, of New York, introduced a concurrent resolution directing the Senate and House committees on pub lic buildings to inquire into the advisa bility and cost of purchasing a suitable site for a residence for the President of the United States. Referred. The House went into committee of the whole on the bill appropriating one million dollars for the reclamation of the Potomac flats at Washington, but without action, the committee rose and the House soon after adjourned. The White Woods of the South.' The Industrial Sooth.' ' i The ; white woods ot the South con stitute amimjportant factor in the re sources of the .southern States. Prior to the war these woods were scarcely thought of beyond tfie confines of the plantation to which they belong and for the keeping up of which only they were caelled into useand as often for fire-wood as for mechanical purposes. Ill toanyy iflstafie6s whole forests f tnese woods "were cut down and burned totinake room f oxplanUng During those times 'the hickory and correspon ding white woods of' the hills of New England, together withl those of the GenedeeTalFeyloffesteTn New York, were celebrated1 nbV-6niy u for their strength and elastkityi but for being the best non-resinous to be had in North America. ; . . .. But these Were not destined always either to excel or last. As they besan to be exhausted, the western forests were opened up, and the white woods of the creek and river bottoms of that vast region were put under contribu tion.. Later on the cause that had been so long overshadowing many of the re sources of the South was removed. As this passed away, the quickened enter prise that followed soon discerned that thesouthern States abounded notonly in in the various kinds of white and color ed woods, but that they were of the best quality. These woods include the hick ory, the oaks, ash; maple, poplar, cy press, persimmon, boxwood, dogwood, apple, currant, beech, holly, cherry, wal nut, etc.; and we may add the (white wood) gum or cork-trees that is, the "tupler the "blacM. and the "sweet" fum-trees. The two first-named pro uces berries, bat are free from gum or resin ; the latter bears seedless burs, and of its sap yields an abundance of "sweet gum" while standing, but when season ed is free from gum. Of these, the hickory, for general me chanical purposes, excels, though each of the others has its special value and adaption. The persimmon, for instance, excels for shuttles ; the apple for plow stocks; This must be a mistake Ed. Observer. the maple for rollers and stamps; the box or dogwood for engrav ing, for signs, or croquet balls; the "tupler" gum and "black gum (so called because of its black berry and dark col ored bark) or cork, for trays and other wooden vessels. The cherry, the cy press, the poplar, the walnut, -the holly and others, each has its specialities. The ash and the various oaks alll have their peculiar uses. The ash is particu larly useful for the handles of spades, pitchforks, hoes, rakes, and other light nannies, and aiso ror sucn tnings as harvest cradles. But none of these can approach hickory for general utility. While it is sufficiently light, it is nearly as strong as, and more elastic than steel. It can never be excelled for spokes, cogs, rollers, axe, pich&and ham mer handles, and thousands of other implements and uses. This hickory grows abundantly very nearly all over the southern States. And it is now generally conceded that the soil and climate of the South, taken generally, produce the strongest and most elastic nicKory Known to tne me chanical arts. And as the hills of New England and the valley of Western New York are gradually depleted, the South is presenting new fiields of a superior hickory that will find no diffiiculty in competing with the growths of the river bottoms of the West. In the South are to be found the creek-bottom and the hammock and highland hickories. The two latter are much more abundant than the former, and much stronger and more elastic It is in these last named hickories that the South excels, the supply being so great that we may hope to meet all de mands for- years to come.
