Africa, and he urged upon the society
to make efforts to send them there.
Pennsylvania "and i he West When
will this thing of importing butter,
meat, lard and other articles of daily
consumption, all of which could be
raised at home, cease? In a country
where grass grows as luxuriantly as it
does in North Carolina, ancNi here cows
can be as easily cared for as they can
here, and where they have to be house
fed bat a small portion of the year,
there is no excuse for sending abroad
for butter. Many of 'our farmers do
keep a few cows more than they need
for home purposes, and make butter
for market, and find ready sale at re
munerative prices for all they make,
and it is strange that they do not give
more attention to it than they do. We
will venture tha assertion that there
will be more money in the long run to
the farmer in twenty acres of meadow
and the number of cows it would sup
port, cared for as they should be, than
in twenty acres of cotton, subject as it
is to all the mutations of weather, the
cost of cultivation, and the uncertain
prices that speculation subjects it to
when placed upon the market. The
grass farm needs but little money to
work it and but little eare to keep it
up, and there is always a paying de
mand for its product whether' in the
shape of hay or in the yield of the
dairy. And then grass enriches instead
of exhausting the soil, and cuts down
guano bills.
SOMEBODY ELSE'S OX.
The Baltimore Sun, a paper which
does not fly off at tangent, and is re
markable for its level-headed conserva
tism in the discussion of political ques
tions has this to say of the political
prosecutions now going on in South
Carolina :
"The remarkable spectacle is present
ed in South Carolina of the general gov
ernment waging a war on special
grounds against persons of the opposite
political party. The frauds which oc
cur at every election in New York, In
diana or California are not looked into.
There is no sectional animosity to
it in those States. Nor were the noto
rious frauds perpetrated annually in
South Carolina prior to 1876, in the in
terest of the party to which Attorney
General Brewster belongs, closely scru
tinized by the United States courts. No
crusade was then waged to preserve in
South Carolina the absolute purity of
the ballot box. The result was then
satisfactory, and when the attention of
the officials at Washington was called
to the means employed to carry elec
tions in favor of the Republical party,
the easy answer was: 'The government
is not more called upon to interfere in
South Carolina than elswhere; there
are frauds in every State and we do not
interfere; why should an invidious dis
tinction be made V
"The rdasoning is different now.
Somebody else's ox is being gored. The
alleged frauds of to-day are supposed to
be committed in the interest of the par
ty in opposition, and they are conse
quently viewed with the virtuous in
dignation of a person whose native
State has ever been the scene of frauds
more flagrant, but less investigated. It
is, of course, right and proper that fraud
at the polls should be punished every
where. It is the invidious discrimina
tion which prompts vigor on the part of
the Attorney General in one State only
that converts a prosecution into perse
cution and excites deeply felt indigna
f ion throughout the country. Under
the forms or justice a general wrong
and hurt to the sentiment of a whole
people is done. Even if the parties ac
cused are guilty, their punishnfent in
one State under a law not enforced in
twenty other States is substantial in
justice and against good policy."

Those who have been predicting that

A heavy Italian emigration is drift

by them in the vicinity of that city.

Forty per cent, of the population of
Dakota, according to the census returns,
are foreigners. It these, are deducted
from the total number, there is left a
very slim foundation on which to build
the structure of a state. It is against
the genius of representative govern
ment to put the political power in the
hands of eighty thousand people to
checkmate five millions. Yet the two
Senators from Dakota, if It is made a
State, will have as potent a voice in the
government as the two Senators from
New York.
PREPARING FOR A WATERLOO.
The Winston Republican, stalwart
commenting on an article in the States
ville American on the proposed Repub
lican coalition with the so-called liber
al party in this State discourses thus:
While the American speaks with so
much confidence of the numbers of
Republicans who voted for prohibition,
why not tell us at the same time how
many Democrats are pledged to leave
their party and join the Republicans
because they do not like prohibition ?
unless we get bacK more than we lose
we are advancing backward.
Until some satisfactory information
of this nature is presented, the situation
seems to be about this:
Those Republicans (some of them)
who fayored anti-prohibition, stand
ready to dismiss from the party the al
leged 5,000 who voted for prohibition,
unless they can cram down their
throats objectionable doctrines.
The Republicnn party, in 1880, was
beaten by no less than 5,000 majority.
Take away from the party 5,000 more
and the majority is 10.000. Add the
5,000 to the Democratic vote and the
majority grows to 15,000.
Before fooling away this strength
would it not be better to stop and count
the cost? For if by any chance there
should be 20,000 Republicans dismissed
from the party or even 10,000, our next
defeat would be worse than a Waterloo.
There is a Chinese side to the veto
hot generally known. , A correspondent
of the New York.Times, writing from
San Francisco, tSays: "The strangest
pare of it all is that the Chinese them

A Congressman dropped the follow
ing remark a few days ago at a Repub
lican meeting in Washington: "Gen
tlemen, we may as well realize the fact
at this early day, that if we are to have
a Republican majority in the next House
it will not come from the "North : we
must get it from the South."
The editorial association of this State
meets in annual session at Elizabeth
City to-morrow. After business is dis
posed of it is proposed to show the gen

yet is comparatively so little known.
John Kelly has announced himself as

of John's life now seems to be to beat

- HoxJ5E.-Robin5Tjn, of New York, ris
ing, to a question of privilege offered a
resolution discharging the committee
on foreign affairs from further consid
eration of the resolution calling on the
President for information as to the im
prisoned American citizens, and declar
ing that the same be brought before the
House for immediate consideration but
finally consented to let the matter go
over until to-morrow.
The Honse passed the bill appropria
ting $50,000 to be immediately availa

tended to the dominion of Canada.

adjournment of Congress on the 22d of

By Ford, of Missouri, (by request) for
improvement or the Mississippi, Mis
souri and Ohio rivers, and their tribu
taries. It authorizes the appointment
of a "Mississippi River Commission,"
to consist of seven members, who shall
devise the means and manner of im
provement, and directs the Secretary of
the Treasury to issue seventy-five mil
lion dollars in treasury notes to be ex
pended by the commission as follows:
Fifty million dollars to be used for the
improvement of the Mississippi River
between Cairo and the mouth of the
river, and twenty-five millions for im
provement of the Mississippi and Mis
souri rivers above Cairo and the Ohio
river between Cairo and Pittsburg.
Humphrey, of Wisconsin, from the
committee on the judiciary reported a
bill to establish a uniform system of
bankruptcy. Ordered printed and re
committed. The House then proceeded to the
consideration of business relating to
the District of Columbia.
A bill increasing by one hundred
members the police force of the Dis
trict of Columbia gave rise to a discus
sion upon the provision authorizing the
District commissioners in the appoint
ment of policemen to "give preference
to men honorably discharged from the
volunteer force of the army.
Robeson, of New York, opposed the
bill on the ground that it repealed
the statute which required that all po
licemen should have been honorably
discharged from the army or navy.
Cox, of New York, advocating the
bill, accused Robeson of again raising
the ''bloody shirt" either to accomplish
some purpose at home or to imitate the
Democratic side, or to invite the Re
publican side, and he asked was. Con
gress forever and forever to resurrect
the ghost whenever some men whose
record needed strengthening came here
and invoked the bloody shirt.
He protested against malcontents in
Congress bringing up this question in
such an insignificant matter as a Wash
ington police bill.
In the further course of the debate
Robeson, while stating that he would
accord to every soldier who had served
in the Confederate army his full right
under the constitution, declared that
when it come to a question of favor he
wanted to discriminate in favor of the
man who had fought for the preserva
tion of the Union. .''
Incidentally he inquired of Cook, of
Georgia, who had entered into the de
bate, whether, if he had been wounded
in the Confederate army he would have
applied to the United States Govern
ment for a pension.
Cook replied somewhat indignantly
that he would not, and then proceeded
to call attention to the fact that those
members of Congress who had served
in the Confederate army were never in
sulted by men who had fought against
them, insult always came irom tnose
whose want of courage had Kept them
in the rear and who had never seen a
rebel. When this matter of the bloody
shirt was removed from politics some
people would have nothing to bank
upon, certainly not on services render
ed the country during the war.
Finally the provision in the original
bill touching this question was stricken
out. The substitute recommended by
the committee was rejected and the bill
passed, leaving the appointments to be
made under the existing law. The dis
cussion took a political turn and in
volved Robeson, Cox- of New York,
McLane, Miller, Curtin and Randall, of
Pennsylvania, and others, and contin
ued for over an hour amid great noise
and confusion without the exhibition
of any ill-feeling. The foremost part
of it was confined to the discussion of
the manner in which the Democratic
party had acted during war and it was
precipitated upon the House, when in
reply to a sarcastic remark from the
Republican side, McLane asserted that
in every Northern State as many Dem
ocrats as Republicans marched under
the Union flag.
"Oh!" exclaimed Miller, of Pennsyl
vania, whereupon. Mcuane cnaiiengea
him. to assert that there were more Re
publicans than Democrats in the army
from Pennsylvania. -
Miller: "I do assert that without fear
of contradiction, and I know that when
they voted on the field they were Re
publicans ten to one. I know the fact
that when the gentleman from Penn
sylvania (Curtin) ran for Governor in
1863, as a Republican, the soldiers voted
for him twenty to one."
Curtin, of Pennsylvania: "In 1865 the
soldiers of Pennsyl vonia in the field did
not have the right to vote, and I did not
get one vote from them."
This was followed by a random dis
cussion on! the political status of the
Pennsylvania soldiers in which several
gentlemen participated.
The vote on the passage of the bill
was yeas 11.7; nayes ,60, the negative
vote being cast by Democrats.
The following bills were introduced
and referred. , .. ,
' King; of - Louisiana, appropriating
$200,000 for the payment of the cost of

estimate making it larger by nearly six
millions. The bill then went over with

The North Corolina Senators With
draw Their Opposition and he Goes
Through.
Washington, April 24. The entire
time of the executive session of the
Senate to-day, forty-five minutes, was
devoted to tne further, consideration of
the nomination of T.N. Cooper to be
collector of Internal revenue for the
sixth district of North Carolina. Ow
ing to the fact that the Republican
Senators' permitted- the passage of
Vance's resolution on Friday last call
ing for an investigation of the affairs of
the collector of that district, the North
Carolina Senators to-day did not offer
persistent opposition to Cooper's con
firmation. When the nomination was
previously considered, a majority voted
in favor of rejection, but a motion to
reconsider the vote was admitted. To
day after debate the motion to re-con
sider the vote by which Cooper was re
jected was adopted, and the previous
action laid on the table. A vote was
then taken upon the motion that the
nomination be confirmed. This motion
was adopted, 22 ayes against 18 nays
The Republicans voted in the affirma
tive and the Democrats in the negative,
with the exception of the North Coroli
na Senators and several others who re
frained from voting.
