The State ' Democratic Committee, which rttet in Kaleigh Vedaesday, con- fineditself simply to the question of naming the time and place for calling the Stite Convention, which was fixed for July 5th, at Raleigh. i in , ; SHOtVINQ THEIR HANDS. f The "Anti-Prohibition committee met Tuesday in Raleigh, and elected Col. "Wm. Johnston president, in place of T. N. Cooper, resigned. It also decided to call a convention on the 7th of June to nominate candidates and formulate a platform, announcing in the meantime their aim to be to aid in establishing local self 0 vei n inent, to diffuse more general education among the masses, to purify the ballot box, and settle the question of prohibition. This much is briefly announced. They are consider ate enough to invite all, irrespective of past political affiliations, or previous condition of servitude, we presume, to come in and co-operate with them in their disinterested, self-imposed task, of redeeming this heretofore neglected and sadly oppressed commonwealth. It seems to us, that the features of their proposed platform which they have an nounced are not altogether original; in fact we have a quite distinct recollec tion that Dr. Mott announced several months ago that this was the platform on which he proposed to take the inde pendents in and scoop np the Demo crats. Dr. Mott is the father of it and not the Anti-Prohibition committee, which in this case is simply echoing what he formulated. When The Observer some time ago on the strength of information received from "Washington through its corres pondent and other sources, criticised the attitude of Col Johnston it was thought by his friends, who would not believe the reports concerning him, that we were doing him gross injustice ; that he was cruelly misrepresented, and that au effort was being made to drive him out of the party. The Colonel com plained of misrepresentation and went so far as to publish a card, denying the reports published, which his friends re ceived as a complete vindication and quoted as proof of his steadfastness to the Democratic party. His presence at and presiding over the committee at Raleigh will set at rest the charge of misrepresentation, and establish the fact that The Observer was not wrong when it identiQed him with the new move months ago. It will at least no long er be doubted that he stands there now square and flat-footed. Now we know where to find him, and they who refus ed to believe that he contemplated such amove also know where to;.find him top. As far as the action of the commit tee is concerned it is about what We anticipated, and we are glad they have announced their purpose and thus thrown off the disguise, under which some of the leaders have heretofore been operating. The next step will be the convention and the coalition with Dr. Mott, who has thus far laid the wires and arranged the plans for the combination between the Radicals and the so-called Liberals in the fight against the Democracy. The people can see how the dog and the tail both wag, and will know what to do with them when they enter the field with Mott as prin cipal field officer and so called independ ent rag floating to the breeze. CRITICISING SENATORS AND RANSOM. VANCE Our Washington correspondent in forms us that the Democratic Senators complain of the action of Senators Vance and Ransom for consenting to the confirmation of Mr. Cooper as Col lector of this district, after having sought and received their solid support in defeat of the confirmation when his name first came before the Senate. They think our Senators ought to have stood square up against the confirma tion to the last, and not given their con sent to the confirmation, as they did by refraining from voting when the ques tion came finally before the Senate. They had no part in the bargain which resulted in the confirmation in ex change for the investigation granted. They opposed the confirmation because they were informed that Cooper was not the proper person to fill the office, and refused to consent, either by vote or silence, to his confirmation. It seems to us they have foundation for their complaint On principle, we are opposed to bargaining in matters of this kind, and when our Senators, ably seconded by Mr. Armfield, of the House, opposed Mr. Cooper's confirmation, they no doubt had sufficient reasons to war rant their action. What those reasons were the public is not fully advised but they were sufficient to ensure a solid Democratic vote, with enough Republican votes to defeat the con firmation when Mr. Cooper's name was first sent in to the Senate. Mr Cooper's nomination was either a proper one, or it was not If it was a proper one, it should not have been opposed ; if not, it should not have been approved nor permitted, If it could have been prevented. Whether Mr. Cooper will make a good officer or not, we do not ' know", Whether there was good reason for this opposition we do not know; but if it was sufficient to secure such vigorous opposition wto his con firmation at first and a solid Demo cratic vote against it, we do not believe that opposition should have been with. drawn, even at the price of having se- curea an mveiugauon that in all proba. biltty wll now amount to aothjng.1 & Philadelphia Record: The action of the House of Representatives' In bus pendlngthe rules to fix a day for the considJr5t4on Ojt.the bill to authorize the extenm-- of the charters of the national banks is equivalent to a decla ration that the bill shall pass on the day fixed. ' Here is a gleam of comfort for toe people.. It is not often that the House can resolve upon 'a sensible line of action by a tiro-thirds vote ' ' ! -J ITHE "LIBERAL" MOVE. We publish elsewhere, from the Raleigh News and Observer thejv pro-, ceedings of flbe iheetin at Raleifcb called "Anti-Prohibition" "liberal" "N. C. Liquor Association, "Independ ent committee, or almost anything else one chooses to call it, (for it is known under various names) with the address issued. It will be observed that the motion for'ii convention of all who were disposed to ,Jjine"hando ju the war? on the Bourbon Democracy, irrespec tive of former political affiliaons, &ci was mad a by James IJ. O'HaraJa gen tleman of color, f romUhe! island of St Thoma.U jomej jo&erj in sea pOrU aba 'who has 1 always been a Re publican of good standing, and of 'un questioned complexion. Who doubts Mr. O'Hara's disinterested sincerity when he clasps hands with Colonel Johnston in the grand march of progress and lib erality ? He is one of Dr. Motts' strik era, and, as an advance guard in the liberal move, he is a jam-up represent ative of the cause. O'flara was also, if we are not mistaken, a participant in the Goldsboro convention, and figured somewhat extensively in that rare com bination of talented patriots. That con vention also threw out a cordial invita tion to the liberally disposed, irrespec tive of former political affiliations, to come into camp and join in the war on the Democracy, but they insisted while doing so in asserting their "steadfast devotion to Republican principles and the Republican party." Mr. O'Hara. who moves for the convention on the 7th of June, is no doubt also steadfast in his Republicanism, while shovine himself forward as the mouth-piece of the men behind the screen, to get things in shape for the grand splicing per formance which is shortly to take place between the Republican dog and the "Liberal" tail. Perhaps now it would be in order for Colonel Johnston to republish his card of January 27th, denouncing as slan derous the allegation that he was co operating in the Independent move for the defeat of the Democratic party in this State. That card and thepronun ciamento of the so-called Anti-Prohibition committee over which he presided would read well side by side. The public, who read both, will doabtless come to the conclusion that Colonel Johnston was not misrepresented after all, but they will not be able to under stand why he worked himself up to such a high state of indignation at be ing charged with doing that which he now unequivocally does over his own signature. At the sale of thoroughbred year lings, at Mr. Harding's stock farm near Nashville, Tenn., Saturday, thirty-six colts and fillies were sold for $23,355, an an average of $649. which will do pretty well for colts. The Missouri Democrats propose to follow the example of the Ohio Repub licans in the gerrymandering business, and talk of dividing that State so as to get thirteen Democratic Congressman to one Republican. The Utica Morning Herald, (Rep speaking of President Arthur's action on the Chinese bill, says: "The public will watch with considerable interest how he will cut the Gordian knot" He will cut it by signing the bill. Arrest of a Postoffice Official. Special telegram to the Observer. Boston, May 4. Col. Thos. B. Long, postoffice inspector, arrested In this city to-day, T. R. Evans, for forging a money order, and a twelve hundred dollar check on a bank. There was a ful 1 con fession in both cases. The Sooth Carolina Cases. Charleston, May 4. In the United States circuit court the case for the de fense of the three managers of the elec tion in the Hope Engine House pre cinct Charleston, was argued and given to the jury. Judge Bond gave no in structions, stating it was simply a ques tion of fact for the jury. At nightfall the jury had not returned a verdict The return to the rule in the case of the two intimidated jurors in the Ac ton cases was read but no decision reached. W ise Confirmed Debate on the Tariff Commission Bill to Close To-Morrow. Washington, May 4. The Senate confirmed John S. Wise, of Virginia, to be U. S. attorney for the Eastern dis trict of Virginia. It has been decided to close debate on the tariff commission bill now pen ding in the House some time to-morrow.

IN (CONOR ESS TCAXS UIIiL I H THE SENATE, The House Takes Another Pass at the Tariff Commission Bill, which Calls Forth Numerous and Varied Speeches. WASHINGTON, May 4 SjBNATEAg- number of b w$re,intrqdiiml of investigation in t alleged corrupt er improper . influence- concerning the House bill now before the finance com mittee amending the laws in regard to distilled spirits -in bonded warehouses was taken up. WindtjoVf moved iuaraendment ixih viding for tin Investigation as to wheth er any money has been raised by con tributions or. otherwise from parties in its interest to secure the passage or de feat of the bill, and if so for what uses it has been expended. -h Voorhees - accepted the amendment and said he had offered the resolution because of newspaper assertions upon himself as a member of the finance committee. Bayard, Morrill, Harris, Beck, Vest, Ingalls and Ferry asserted their confi dence in the personal and official in tegrity of Voorhees and regarded the charges as unworthy of further notice. Each of the speakers concurred in the view that the Senate could not afford to-occupy public time to the exclusion of legislative business upon anony mous newspaper accusations. But upon mention of the subject pre sen ted by Windom the sentiment was in favor of immediate and thorough investigation in view of the statement made by Windom that he had received information from which he believed that an enormous sum of money had been raised by the so called whiskey ring to procure the passage of the bill through Congress. He said he could not vouch for the information but it was such as to compel him to propose an inquiry into matters. He believed that if the bill passed the country would within a few years be shocked by the developments, operations and suc cess of a combination so enormous as to pale into utter insignificance the ring of two or three years ago. A huge amount was now due on whiskey in bond and the bill proposed to destroy the bonds and give the combination a chance to raise the treasury to the tune of nearly $70,000,000. He coincided in the opinion that personal insinuations against the Senator from Indiana were too insignificant to receive notice, but he wanted to go to the bottom of the charges, to which be now called atten tion. Beck read a telegram from J. M. Atherton.of Louisville, which he said had been given as authority for the ac cusation against Voorhees, disclaim ing all responsibility therefor and ad ding that his statements and opinions concerning the whiskey legislation had been greatly exaggerated and misrepre sented. Voorhees said the aspersions upon his own character were that his vote could be controlled by one or more per sons in Washington, but in view of the declaimer read by Beck which he re garded as a sufficient exoneration of himself be would leave the disposition of the resolution to the pleasure of the Senate. After further discussion Windom withdrew his amendment with notice that he would renew it to-morrow as an independent proposition, and the resolution was then postponed indefinitely without objection. The bill repealing the disqualification for army service imposed upon ex-Confederates came up in order, when Rol lins' pending motion to commit to the judiciary committee prevailed by a par ty vote : yeas 29 ; nays 28. Mr. Davis, of .Illinois, voting aye with the Republicans. Mahone, who was present to day, al so voted aye. The chair announced his signature to the Chinese bill which now goes to the President. The Senate then resumed the consid eration of the Court of Appeals bill. Vest's pending amendment prohibit ing the district or circuit judge from setting in appellate court upon the cause tried before him in the lower court was agreed to, yeas 39; nays 14. The bill went over without action. Executive session. Adjourned. House. Kasson, of Iowa, in moving to go into committee of the whole this morning on the tariff commission bill, stated that be expected that the gene ral debate on the bill would close to-day with the exception of speeches to be de livered by members of the ways and means committee who have not yet spoken. He hoped for a vote on the bill, beyond question, on Saturday next. The House then, at 11:25, went into committee of the whole, Robinson, of Massachusetts, in the chair, on the bill indicated. Candless,of Massachusetts, advocated the passage of the bill and read a peti tion of fifty manufacturers, represent ing industries that employed $200,000, 000 of capital that consumed 1,500,000 bales of cotton a year, and that opera ted 10,000,000 spindles, in its f ayor. He supported the proposition for a com mission on the ground that the ways and means committee, however able and honest, was inadequate for the work of a proper revision of the tariff. It had neither time nor experience to treat with a question like this in the detailed manner rin -which it must be treated. 7 r w v Finley, of Florida, repudiated the doc trines of ' extreme free traders and ex treme protectionists and favored a middle course, a tariff for revenue with incidental protection. Cabell, of Virginia, regarded the ap pointment of a tariff commission as a scheme for delay and announced his-op- position to tne proposition, rne coun try had one commission, and that 8 to 7. business nad been quite en ongn.1 The American appetite craved for na more, for the results of the proposed commis sion would not be more palatable than the results of the electoralisommisslon had been. It watt : absurd : to ;eay that Congress could not intelligently legis late upon the revision pf that abomina tion, the Morrill tariff, '4 r; Among the speakers on the bill were McLane of Maryland, Morrison of Illi nois, and others. 1 The committee finally rose' and the House adjourned. The Doracic Acid Treatment of Diph- theria. DcT. Harries, of Aberystwith, re in the Lancet a very successful treat ment of diphtheria by the local applica tion of boracic add in solution. The solution is prepared and applied as f ol lows: --. ' ;.: . , Boracic acid, two drachms ; glycerine, half an. ounce ; .water, half an ounce to be applied, freely to the fauces every hour at first, diminishing in frequency with the disappearance of the deposit and general symptoms. The application should be continued for some days after the throat has be come perfectly clean. If discontinued too abruptly, the deposit is almost cer tain to re-form, with a return, pi the general symptoms; and with the View of warding off this danger, I make it a rule t6 continue palnung np '.to the eighth day, after which date the patient mar be considered conrparatively safe.

A committee, to which the work had been assigned, submitted the following address, which was adopted by the com mittee: - , ; (;- To the People of North Carolina : This committee, being the Only 1 body representing the organization of last year, formed to defeaftbe class legisla tion embodied in the prohibition act, do hereby call a mass convention' of the liberal, independent voters of the State, without regard to formerv political af filiations, to be held in the tsity of Ral eigh on tne 7th of June, to present to the people of the State a platform of principles, and candidates for the State offices to be filled in the coming No vember election. In the opinion of! this committee such action is right and proper, that those who honestly stood up for the right then, shall have the opportunity to ratify their action, by the adoption of principles and election . of men op posed to the party organization which forced this unjust legislation upon them. , The leadership and methods of this organization, the channel through which it speaks to the people, and the spirit of dictation and abuse with which it attempts to drive into its support those choosing to act for themselves, demands the presentation of this move ment. A majority of the-press of the State which supported . this . odious legislation of last year continues to mis represent us. Our manhood and self respect require us to rebuke once more this insulting minority, that itvmay learn to respect the people's rights' and liberties. In this movement principles are in volved which should be cherished by every freeman, and it is our duty to see that they are protected against this in tolerant spirit which strikes not only at the personal freedom of the citizen, but also at the principles of local fitlf government. The bitterness with which we were denounced last summer. lives not alone on the tongues of our df am ers but has taken root deep down into their hearts. Let us, then, rally again for our liber ties and rights, assured ty our past suc cess of the hearty co-operation of more than one hundred thousand majority of our fellow-citizens, in restoring to the people local self-government, diffus ing more generally education among the masses, purifying the ballot box and forever settling the vexed question of restraining by law those vices which, in our judgment can best be corrected by moral suasion and religious organi zations.
