The display of military was fine.
GEN. GORDON'S VIEWS.
Elsewhere we publish a letter of
Gen. Gordon, of Georgia, on the
Speakership, addressed to Mr. Ran
dall. While differing from Mr. Ran
dall on the tariff question, and under
other circumstances preferring the
election of Mr. Carlisle or some one
else whose views on this question are
more in accord with his own, he be
lieves that it is not only good policy,
but that the success of the Democratic
party in the next contest depends
very largely upon the election of Mr.
Randall as Speaker? He gives his
reasons, which would have their
weight and command attention even
if spoken by one of less far-seeing
wisdom and recognized ability, than
Gen. Gordon.
While all Democrats and thousands
of Republicans desire tariff reform
and something like an equitable dis
tribution of the tariffs levied, a radi
cal lopping off, and an indiscriminate
shake up may create alarm, disar
range business, and have a disastrous
reactionary effect on the Democratic
party. There are maDy Democrats
in the country, who though favoring
a tariff for revenue only, like Gen.
Gordon believe in going slow and not
risking success by attempting to do
prematurely and at once what may
be done in time and by degrees with
out taking any chances or imperilling
success. There are those ardent tem
pered individuals who will de
nounce this as subordinating princi
ple to policy. But it is not ; it is sim
ply exercising that policy which all
men of cool judgment recognize, and
all successful party leaders act upon.
This tariff question is a big one. It
will take time to satisfactorily adjust
it, even if all our representatives and
the interests affected were anxious
for a satisfactory adjustment. Then
why imperil our chances in the com
ing national contest by making an
issue within the party, and fighting
over what might be deferred until the
presidential battle has been decided?
In the success of the Democratic par
ty lies the only hope of tariff or any
other permanent reform, in this government.

Jackson, Mich., Nov. 20. Yester

R., for a special engine to c;o to
Mason, a small station thirty miles
north of this place in quest of the
murderer ot the Crouch tamily. Supt

went to Mason and with the assist
ance or the sheriff ot Ingram county.
arrested a farmer named Andrews
living 8 miles west of Mason, bring

siderable excitement was caused bv
the arrest, and thousands crowded to
the depot awaiting the arrival of the
special engine with threats of lynch
ing tne prisoner. ine engine was
stopped outside the city limits and
the prisoner was conveyed to jail on
a hack to avoid the mob.
Perry turns out to be a crank and
ex-convict named Howard and An

stopped at the hotel on the night of
the murder. Sheriff Winney exam

Thigpeo, of Edgecombr, on Farming.
Letter to Farmer aid Ma htmie.
In reply to ' "Pender's" open letter
to me on "the best methods of farming
for the betterment of agriculturists
in these times of short crops, the
remedies are simple and plain.
In this communication I will sim
ply give a synopsis of all that is nec
essary for the planters to do to be
prosperous.
Itesolced, 1st. If the land is not
well drained, be sure to remedy be
having the diains sufficiently" deep
to dry the soil.
2. Be sure not to plant any land
that is too poor to pay the cost of cul
tivation. o. Plow all the subsoil clay land
deep, and have it well pulverized for
the reception of the seed.
4. Raise all the compost you pos
sibly can, by hauling swamp muck,
hillside scrapings, ditch breaks, veg
etable mould, etc. Mix these with
ashes, marl, or lime, cotton seed, sta
ble manure, any and all trash that
may be found about the yard.
5. Apply from 500 to 1,000 bushels
to the acre of this in cotton, and 300
to 500 bushels to the acre of corn.
5. Seed with care and cultivate so
as not to allow the weed and grass to
injure the crop. 't
7. Cn that portion, which I guess
to be one-half of the cultivated lands
of Pender county, as well as the bal
ance of the State, which does not pay
the cost of cultivation, raise horses.
mules, cattle, hogs and sheep.
8. Be certain to raise all seed oats,
hay, butter and the like.
8. This will make labor abundant,
and more valuable.
10. I jet the farmers see to it that
the next Legislature abolishes the
fence law in all these sections where
horses, mules, bacon, beef, hay. but
ter etc. are imported, for it is evident
to continne in existence, this tax on
farmers and destruction to the best
of the forest is not in accordance with
progress.
11. Tell the young men there is no
necessity in bnying so many pleasure
horses and fine buggies, cat gut
whips and lap robes. And indoctrin
ate them with the truth that he who
ploughs and cultivates on the plan
above suggested will have corn to
sell and to keep, while he who makes
unprofitable visits in grandeur will
in the end neither have horses
to drive nor bread to eat, except they
have a sufficient income to justify it.
12 Let us work in the way com
mon sense dictates to be safe, and not
continue in a system that will not
pay, but must render a large number
of our sons and daughters fit subjects
for the Potter field after death.
We'll unite, in future, more in detail
in the best methods of farming.
"Pender" says:
"The noise over the exposition of
North Carolina products at Boston
is pleasant enough for our Deople,
but how this outlay of ten thousand
dollars of the puplic fund is to pay
the State back in benefits to come, it
is not so self evident as yet, under
the general prevalence of discontent
and want of the farming classes and
laboring men.
I am quite sure the North Carolina
exhibit at Boston, directed by the
Board of Agriculture, will be pro
ductive of more good to the State
than all the acts the last Legislature
passed combined.
Why is it that North Carolina has
35,000 children in other States? Sim
ply because they lived in a State of
ignorance, so far as our material
greatness is concerned. They read
and heard that other States possess
ed greater advantages.
The exhibit at Atlanta and Boston
tells all this nation and a part if not
all of Europe that this State cannot
be excelled from the seashore to the
mountains (a distance of 400 miles,)
m climate, fish, timber, agricultural
products, fruits, minerals, of all de
scriptions, to be found in the world,
and water enough and to spare to run
the machinery of all continents.

oince tne burglar excitement is

amusing incidents that happened
during its existence. The following
is related ot a woman who used every
precaution to make her house secure
against these much talked of mid'
night marauders: One night she wa
sure the burglars would be about and
was very particular about closing up
her house; all the shutters were made
doubly secure; the sash in every win-
low trom cellar to garret was nailed
down with ten penny nails; in fact
so well did she fasten the windows
that it took her nearlv the whole of
the morning to unfasten them and
get daylight in the house through
them, She retired with the feeling
that her house could not be entered
by any one without her knowing it
and as nothing disturbed her. the
sleep that she had lost about burglars
for several nights previous was made
up tnat night, as she slept uninter
ruptedly till late in the morning,
when she arose and hastily dressed to
go answer the call of the milkman at
the front door. Then it was that she
made a discovery which made her
tremble with fear. She had iorgot to
lock the front door that nighj before
