4 - DAILY CHABLOTTEgdSEByEBf, T.TTE SID A Y," tf AC;H., 20, 1 8 8 3 v CIIAS. R. JONES, Editor and Prop'tor. ' REV'. O. D BERNHEIH. Agent and Traveling Correspondent 3SHTXRXD AT THE POST-OTFICE AT CH1BLOTTB, N. C., as Seoomp-Clabb Hatter TUESDAY. MARCH 20, 1883. The total losses by fire in the United States during January and February are estimated at $17350,000. ! "Charles J. Bonaparte, attorney-at-law," adorns a sign on St. Paul's street, Baltimore. This grand-nephew of the great Emperor is a busy member of his profession. Gov Sherman, of Iowa, has refused to call an extra session of the Legislature of that State to consider the prohibito ry amendment recently upset by the decision of the State Supreme court. American Register: Cotton planters of the South are gravely told by their kind advisers that the credit system ac compl ishes their ruin. What other re oourse have they ? Does not the Feder al taxing system wrench from them all their cash? ' Jt ... w fclO Almost before we realize it the world will be called upon to witness two gi gantic engineering feats. It is estimat ed that within a year and a half the tunnel from England to France will be completed, and probably in the course of five or six years DeLesseps Panama canal will be open for business. Mod ern engineering will ere long change the face of the world. i mm ashington Critic: When George 3 first came here he "was content to rd at the rate of $4.50 a day. When und how easy it was to get his rough he hired a parlor at the a day." While GeoBliss oc- 0 a day apartments and draws alary there is no probabili ty ofTffSmar route trjals coming to a speedy conclusion. The result of a recent election for county officers in Falls county, Texas, was determined by the votes of seven teen naturalized Chinamen; and the defeated candidates are testing the election upon the ground that a State law, passed in 1875, limited the issuance of naturalization papers to white for eigners, and, it is claimed, disfranchised Chinamen who had already taken out naturalization papers. There is in Illinois a family named Hiskey, whose aggregate weight is 2,587 pounds. The father weighs 480 pounds, . the mother 385, the oldest daughter 307, the next 225, the third 280, the oldest son 520, the second 202, the third 260 and the fourth 176. The paterfamilias has two sisters who tip the scales at 310 and 270 pounds respectively. Such a family carry great weight in any com munity. A Bmoker who found that his daily use of the pipe was making him ner vous, tried the experiment of filling the bowl of the pipe one-third full of table salt and pressing the tobacco hard down upou it. The result was very satisfac tory. During the process of smoking the salt solidifies, while remaining por ous, and when the hardened lump is re moved at the end of a day's smoking it is found to have absorbed so much of the oil of tobacco as to be deeply col ored. The salt should be renewed daily. As compared with the people of Great Britain and Ireland, Americans must be exceptionally litigious. In the Brit ish Islands with a population approxi mating 37,000,000, there are between 11,000 and 12,000 lawyers. In the Unit ed States, with a population larger by only 15,000,000, there are 65,000 lawyers. There is a lawyer to every 3,000 people in Great Britain, while in America there is a lawyer to every 800 people. The ratio of increase of the profession here shows no diminution. Recent investigation into the density of population in Paris, as published in the Globe of that city, develops the fact that there are 68,126 houses, with a population of 2.269,000 inhabitants, giv ing an average of 33 persons to each house. In New York the average num ber to each dwelling-house is 16, in Bos ton 8, in Philadelphia nearly 6. There are more individual owners of houses who reside in them in Philadelphia than in any other city in the United States. Philadelphia Press: O'Donovan Rossa comes promptly to the front as usual with the intimation that he knew all about the arrangements for the dyna mite explosion in London long before its occurrence. "We could not follow out our system," he remarks, "unless we used dynamite." O'Donovan Rossa apparently thinks the American people are a pack of fools ; otherwise, how can he expect them to believe his Idiotic talk about his foreknowledge of all the deviltry that happens abroad ! The fact is he is a blatherskite, silly'and simple; a ranting coward who wouldn't kill if he could, and who couldn't if he would, because his lusty yawp about blood would betray him to his intended vic tim. His villainy rests entirely in his tongue, and he stabs with that at long range. MAlfCFACTtmiKO Vt THJ8 SCfUTIlV All the signs of the times' point to the conclusion that the South will in time.'andthat no very, remote time, be not only the cotton producing section of the country, but also the great man facturing section, not only of cotton goods, but of iron and other articles. Already the New England manufac turers are beginning to feel the effects of Southern competition in the West ern trade, and have been asking the railroads to give them such reduced rates of freight as will enable them to compete with Southern mills, which have the advantage in rates on account of the shorter distance they have to ship. Thus early in the race of compe tition this is a significant confession, and an indication of what may be ex pected when time,, experience and in creased capital enlarge the output, as they will year by year. It needs no ar ray of arguments to demonstrate that the cotton crop of the South will be spun and woven in Southern mills, and that the day for shipping baled cotton and buying back woven fabrics is pass ing away. Every day affords proof of it. Not only the cotton manufacturers, but also the workers of Iron, are begin ning to feel the effects of Southern competition, and the latter are even now, many of them, confessing their inability to keep up a successful con test with Southern furnaces, which, from the abundance of iron ore, cheap ness of labor, and other advantages, can make at less cost and undersell the iron makers of Pennsylvania and other Northern States. These are but two of ine industries in wnicn trie south is taking the lead, but there are others, also, which grow out of these, and on which she has not yet entered,in which she will in time take the lead. One Vessel Aground and Another Afire. v New Obleai Ljd March 19. The steamer City of Lincoln, already report ed as having sailed yesterday, ran aground out of the channel in South Pass, near Cranr, Island.-Tow boats will make an effort to get tier off. ".She may have to be lightered. Her cargor consists of grain and cotton. . The Italian-bark, Guiseppe Lanata, hence for Havre, after; sailing on Sun day morning,, discovered she was on fire. She was taken, in tow and run ashore between South Pass and Pais A-Loutre. The fire is reported to have been extinguished; - She had a cargo of cotton. Floods in the Tallahatchie. Yazoo City, Miss., March 19. The news by the steamer Desmet, which left Greenwood yesterday morning con firms the previously reported overflow of the Tallahatchie river. ; Greenwood is submerged, the water being only 12 inches below that of 1882,but it is rising slowly. From Green wood, 'to ,Henrv Island the whole country is Inundated. Concerning the" effect of the flood, of waters from the (Sunflower ana Tallahatchie opinions are divided. Some of the largest Yazoo river plan ters say that their interests will be seri ously damaged. ' ! m ' ' - A Suspected Attempt at Abdnction.: Tayxorsville. Ills , ' March 19. Emma Bond, the victim of last sum mer's outrage, mysteriously left her sick room last Friday night, and was discovered by attendants lying on the ground north of her house in an uncon scious condition. The incident created a suspicion that an attempt at abduc tion had been made to prevent her ap pearance before the grand jury, as she seemed on the road to recovery.

Ul.AV TO g QUOTE PRICES TO THE TRAJ)E; Atlanta Star: The indications are plain that our farmers are preparing for a heavy crop of cotton in Georgia this year. Dealers in cotton report large sales, and the farmers are prepar ing their best land for cotton. The area in wheat and oats is much less than has been estimated,and the indications now are that provisions will be high in the fall. Augusta, Ga, News: There lives in Irwin county a man who has been vot ing for Joseph E Brown lor Governor ever since Mr Brown's first race for that office. His name i3 Joshua Luke. No matter who the candidates were, Luke, it is said, always cast his vote for Joe Brown. Senator Brown last week made the old gentleman a present of a fine gold headed cane, with the follow ing inscription upon it: "From Joseph E Brown to his faithful, friend, Joshua Luke." American Register: The South, un der nature's laws, has a monopoly of cotton production. Under the tnob structed natural operation of these laws, as in the olden time, the South would grow enormously rich ; but the Federal government repeals nature's code by conceding forty per cent, pre mium to northern industries and tak ing the same percentage from southern toil, making a difference of eighty per cent, in the profits of the industries of the two sections of the Union ; and yet we are gravely told that the South de votes too much time and energy to cot ton production, and therefore its proflt lessness. The solemn advice given the South by wiseacres is simply absurd. There is . no reason in the nature of things, and only in this unequal and unjust legislation of men, for the pov erty of cotton growers. The Star Route Trials. Washington, March 19. In the star route cases the entire session of the court was consumed in argument upon the pertinency of the question as to whether or not the witnsss of General Brady had any knowledge of the Price drafts. This is regarded as an import ant point by both sides, for if the ques tion is admitted it will probably lead to the admission of testimony by Price in support of the government s charge. Argument will be continued to-morrow Printers Strike in Atlanta. Atlanta, March 19. To-day the nrinters in the Evening Star ofl&ee and in James P Harrison & Co's printing house refused to go to work for less than 30 cents per 1000 ems. The rates have been 25 cents. The present force of the Star consists of two small boys. Both parties to the controversy refuse to yield. Weather. Washington, March 19. Middle At lantic, excepting New York, occasional rain or snow, much colder northwester ly winds, rising barometer, followed by clearing weather. South Atlantic and East Gulf, partly cloudy or cloudy weather, local rains, much colder northwesterly winds, and rising barometer. The Atlantic Road Troubles Adjusted. Baleigh, March 19. The troubles so long lasting between tne Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad and the Mid land North Carolina Road, have at last been adjusted. Major John Gatling has taken charge of the property. This gives satisfaction to all of the stockholders and puts the road on a safe footing. Coming to the Relief of Workmen. Distressed Tom Ochiltree is likety to get his sal ary because he is unearthing some big bugs in the same fix as himself. A cor respondent of the Sun reports that President Arthur himself is security to the amount of eight hundred dollars for a defaulting Federal official. Senator-elect Cullom, of Illinois, is security for a Federal official who has defaulted by the thousands, and if Colonel Ochil tree's is to be withheld, so should the President's and Governor Cullom's un til the amounts for which they are re sponsible are liquididated. Two of the Senators who went out on the 4th of March, Messrs Windom and Tabor, were also on the bond of defaulting of ficials, and yet their salaries were paid in full without any deduction. It is said that a judgment for eight thousand dollars on this aceount has been obtain ed in favor of the United States against Mr Windom, but no attempt has ever been made to collect it. Paris, March 19. M. Ferry, prime minister, stated in the Chamber ot Deputies to-day that the government, after Easter would introduce a bill for the relief of distressed workingmen.

Beware of counterfeits. The case of Mr. Stillson Hntchins is an odd one. For fifteen years he had been separted from his wife on account of incompatibility. 'And yet, we are told that he was "a good father" and that she was -a devoted mother." After so many years the parties agreed to a legal diyorce,and Mr. Hutchens prompt ly married another lady. On the day of his second marriage, according to a cor respondent, he received a letter from this wife of his youth and mother of his children, full of kind wishes for his fu ture happiness and prosperity, and ex pressing the hope that his second mar riage would bring him the contentment he had failed to find in: his first mar riage. The correspondent significantly adds: "The woman who could do this must possess, a strong, magnanimous nature, great enough to sacrifice herself for her children, and also for the man who put her aside for another woman. He could hardly forget his -wife in New Hampshire, sending from her home among the bleak, granite hills a sort of blesssingon his wedding, in such brave Christian words." : No wonder Rev? Morgan Dix in the face of these strange experiences, has preached a se-' ties of Lentea sermons that stir the so cial consciences of many New England . jpeople. - ' -.J" Atlanta Journal: The Earl of Dal housie has sent an autograph letter ac companying a circular to the Governors of all our States, and the press general ly, requesting their opinion respecting the working of the laws allowing, or not prohibiting, marriage with a "de ceased wife's sister. The Augusta News says: "Without knowing the personal intent of his Lordship in the matter.' we do not hesitate to say that it works; just splendid' here, so far as our knowl edge and experience extends. Most of our people look upon it, too, as fulfilling in the completest manner the object of marriage. That the maternal aunt of one's children should become their step-mother is far preferable to the in troduction of a strange mother, who could not have any sympathy with them, into the family.' This reminds us of the case of Governor Claiborne, of Mississippi, who, after taking four wives from one family; returned at last for the fifth, when the old gentle man warned him to take care of her health, as she was . the last, and if he came again 'he supposed he would have to give him the old woman."
