What Gsb hardt is going to do is not stated. Senator Tabor's wedding present to his bride was a magnificent diamond necklace, costing $30,000. The new Mrs. Tabor is about 30, stylish and hand, some. If the nihilists let him alone the Czar of Russia says he will distribute gratis, In addition to the 900,000 pies, 640,000 bottles of beer. If the pies don't get 'em, he thinks the beer will. Mrs Worth, wife of State treasurer Worth, died after a protracted illness at her home in Ashboro, Randolph county, last Friday. She was about 65 years of age and a very estimable lady. There is perhaps no court in the United States, outside of the District of Columbia, where counsel would be al lowed to play the pranks that are almost daily played by the counsel in the Star route cases. ' If Van Voorhishad been a Southern Democrat instead of a Northern Re publican, indulging in such elegant epi thets as "gambler and cutthroat" to wards a fellow member of Congress, how the Northern Republican press would have discoursed on plantation manners. When Congress had only forty hours of life it decided that Mr. Sessinghaus, and not Mr. Frost, had been elected to represent the people of the Third Mis souri District, and Sessinghaus was sworn in. Both men will get their pay. What a travesty upon common sense and cemmon justice such a proceeding is 1 Rev. Q. W. Hinkle, a ritualietic cler gyman df the Episcopal Church in Cleveland, has created an excitement in that city by hearing the con fession of communicants and grant ing absolution from sins commit ted where a proper spirit of repentance was manifested. He has also adopted to some extent the outward forms of Catholic worship in other respects. His congregation is one of the most wealthy and aristocratic in the city, and presumably sustains the innova tions of its pastor. CORK AND COTTON. A number of cotton factors recently assemblebLin JLisj discussed the Question or cotton culture and issued an address to the merchants, farmers and tenants of the cotton belt, in which they say that the credit system now in vogue in the South is disastrous to the planters and tenants, forcing them to pay extravagant prices for supplies and causing their crops to be forced into market with such rapidity and in such quantities as to break prices almost in variably below cost of production. After having watched for years the effeet of large crops, the St. Louis fac tors find that the overproduction of cotton is the root of the whole trouble. They therefore strongly advise the Southern farmers against planting a large cotton acreage this year, and to redouble their efforts to raise grain, cattle and bogs, making cotton a sur plus crop. In this way, with the pro duction of enough provisions on each farm to supply the necessaries of life, planters would soon be able, by holding their surplus cotton until they can sell it for what it is worth, to pay off their old debts and take a fresh start ia the world. The merchants and planters in each State are invited to hold conven tions so that this matter may be agita ted in a practical manner. Perhaps the farmers get as much gratuitous advice as any calling on the American portion of terra firma, very little of whicii they pay any heed to for the reason we suppose that they con sider themselves competent to manage their own business. But one thing is certain, and that is that the planters of the South as a body cannot be successful while they depend as much on cotton aa they do now and have done in years past. There is no calling that can so ill afford to do busi ness on borrowed capital or to take chances and the farmer who starts out in the beginning with a debt on his shoulders contracted for fertilizers, supplies, implements, &c, starts out with a weight upon him which he will find it burdensome if notimpossible to carry successfully. Cotton is one of the products the price of which is largely controlled by speculation and the farmer never knows what it is going to be worth from one day to the other, but no matter how low it is when his obligations become due, he has to throw it upon the market to meet hii debts unless favored by his creditors. When the Southern farmer raises his own grain and meat he will be inde pendent and in a way to make his farm ing operations pay with some degree of certainty, but not until then. The larger the cfop of cotton the lower the price, the smaller the crop of grain the higher the price, so that while he is a producer of the one and not of the other he suffers in both ways.

The Legislature was engaged Friday and Saturday mainly in discussing the bill to relieve the Western North Caro lina Railroad Company from certain requirements in its contract with the State, which passed the Senate Saturday evening with amendments and sent to the House for concurrence. The House discussed the railroad commission bill, passed the bill dividing the State into congressional districts.on the plan pub lished in these columns in a previous issue, passed a bill giving aid to the State guard, also a bill appropriating $75,000 for the support of the State penitentiary. The bill granting pen sions to maimed Confederate soldiers, in the State's service during the war, also passed. In addition to, these a considerable number of other bills were discussed, passed or defeated, but all of a private or local character. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. The Foolish Farmer. Napa (Cal ) Register. And one day a man who was of smooth speech and canvassed for news papers.caoie unto a rancher saying : For $8 1 will send you a daily paper in which there is all that is good for men to know. The war in Egypt, the flood in Ohio, the doings of Arthur, and the racket of the James boys, And the price thereof is in advance, and forget it not." And the rancher reviled him. saying: "Get tha hence from here, for your editor is the father of lies " And the bull dog came forth and bayed aloud' and the farmer reached for his flint lock in the corner, saying: "The tributations ofhell are upon me, and he mocketh me with his importunities. Does he think me a United States mint after an investigation that I shall do this thing?" And he spent his &8 in whisky and bought a new bull dog, and beat the old woman with a club. And one day a tempest arose and the rain came down from the heavens and there was much dampness in the land. And the hay in the field was spoiled, and the loesthereoof was nigh unto $1,000 coin of the realm. But his neighbor lost not his crops, because he bad boused three days be ore. And the farmer exclaimed in the bitterness of spirit: "How did ye drop on the rain?" And the other answered, saying : "No rain droppeth on me for 1 have the first drop. I taketh a paper, and in its dis patches it sayeth : Beware of the rain in the west,' and I Beware." And the first rancher smote his breast, saying ; "Be hold the king of fools, that's me." And his neighborspwho all took the papers, laughed him to scorn saying: "Bag thy head in gunnysack." And he bagged it forthwith. l.08i 1.12V8 1.191 l.4 tfl8 $12 553 6 688 HOW THE TARIFF PLUNDERS. Prof Sumner, of Yale College, has been giving some attention to tariff figures to show what protection actual ly costs the American people. He finds that in 1880 the capital invested in manufacturing in the United States was $2,790,000,000. The number of hands employed was 2,700,000 and the wages paid amounted to $948,000,000 or an average of $1 17 per day for each of the hands employed. The materials used amounted in value to $3,400,000, 000, and the manufactured products to $6,300,000,000. The manufacturers, therefore, increased the raw materials $1,900,000,000 in value. The products of the manufacturing industry in this country were worth in the world's mar ket $3,700,000,000-the tariff made these products cost us $1,600,000,000 more Such being the case, Prof Sumner con cludes that all the workers in our man ufacturing industries could have been paid their regular Wages to have stood idle, and that ten per cent, on all the capital invested in manufactures could hare been paid, provided that we were allowed to buy all we wanted in a free market, fth a net gain to this country of $373,000,000. A similar calculation applied to the production of pig iTpn shows that the wages of all the work ers in iron and ten per cent on the cap ital invested in this industry could have been paid at a net saving to this country of $2300,000. Millions upon ton-, of mil ions the American people have annually paid these favored wards of protective legis lation, and now they howl as loudly for protection for their "infant industries" as they did when they first asked for a protective tariff. They are even more exorbitant in their demands now than they were then, for protection has made them rich and success has made them bold. States Not Collecting Agents for their Citizens. Washington, March 5 A decision was rendered by the Supreme Court to-day in the cases of the State of New Hampshire and the State of New York against the State of Louisiana and her executive omces. 'inese were suns on the repudiated Louisiana bonds, which the individual bondholders of New Hampshire and New York transferred to their respective States in order that the States might briug these suits in this Court agai ust the State of Louisian a to compel the latter to fulfill the obli gations. This court holds that the suits are in effect not suits of the States of New Hampshire and New York, but suits of individual citizens of those States against another State, that the States of New Hampshire and New York are merely endeavoring to act as collecting agents for their citizens, and that this cannot be a'lowed. The judicial power of the United States does not extend to suits commenced and prosecuted. These in effect are by individuals against one of the States of the Union. The actions cannot be sus tained, and the bills are dismissed. The opinion is by Chief Justice Waite. A decision was also rendered to day in the case of Andrew Antoni against Samuel C Greenhow, treasurer of the city of Richmond, Va, brought here by appeal from the Supreme Court of Ap peals of Virginia. This was a suit to test the constitutionality of the act of the General Assembly of Virginia of January 14t h, 1882, entitled an act "to prevent frauds," etc, popularly known as the "Riddleberger Bill," which for bade tax collectors to receive in pay ment of taxes any coupons of the State bonds of 1877 and 1879, until the genu ineness of such coupons should have been established by judicial proceed ings. This court holds that the obligations ' of a contract between the State and its bondholders has not been impaired by the law in controversy, which does nothing more than make a change in the nature of theTemedy for its enforce ment. The judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia is affirm ed. Opinion by Chief J ustice Waite.
