A 1-AltTY OK PRtUVfFLK Some of the tariff -for-revenue only papers jubilantly exclaim since the election of Mr. Carlisle, Speaker, "at last the Democratic party is a party of principle." This is a remarkable, and a somewhat late discovery. We were under the impression, which according to these gentlemen must have been a fond delusion, that the Democratic party has always been a party of principle, that that was its striking characteristic, that it held itself so erect on this line that it was disposed sometimes to bend back wards. Policy held less place, per haps, in the councils of the Demo cratic party, than in those of any party in this country, in fact, there was not enough of it and is not to day. There are measures in which policy can be used without militating against principle, questions-: tooon which the masses composing- the Democratic party hold different views, and the tariff is ope Of .them. It is a question of revenue, a quiSsttoa of dollars and cents,- as to the amount of revenue that oifgh't to be raised, the way to raise it, and incidentally whether the question of revenue shall have any connection directly or in directly with home manufactures. It will be found when this tariff ques tion is sifted that it. is not viewed so much as a matter of principle as a matter of expediency, based on dollars and cents, on which most people take their position in accordance with their individual or local interests. he Virginia and North Carolina peanut raiser wants a high tariff on peanuts; the North Carolina and South Carilina rice raiser wants a high tariff on rice; the Louisiana sugar planter wants a high tariff on sugar. Nine out of ten of these are Democrats to the core. The Ohio wool grower wants a high tariff on wool, and so the manufactures, of va rious kinds, North and South, East and West, irrespective of their polit ical inclinations, favor a tariff which fosters the particular industries in which they are engaged. Hence the protective tariff feeling that prevails in certain States, where manufactures are extensively carried on, among the Democrats of those States who never flinch in their Democracy, and who do not beieye that they are trampling on Democratic principles when they hold and contend for these views. Last Monday in the House of Repre sentatives three Democratic repre sentatives from the State of Ohio introduced bills to increase the tariff on wool, while another who is a Rad ical free trader from the same State, introduced a bill to repeal the tariff on wool, a fact which illustrates the difference of opinion between repre sentative men who were elected by Defnocr&tg, as Democrats, and profess to stand upon Democratic principles. Are th e three recreant to Democratic principles and he one true? No. These enthusiast must tgne down in their wild declarations of what con stitutes true Democracy, for if they are to draw the lines and say who is and who is not a Democrat they would reduce the party to an uncom fortable figure when election time comes around. The probabilities are that in their enthusiasm they indulge in a little latitude of speech and do not mean literally all they say. "It is surprising", says the editor of the Winston Republican in an article on the recent increase in busi ness failures, "to what extent even a temporary supremacy of the Demo cratic party over the legislation or this great country affects business and thft affairs of business men. So soon as Congress met last week, so soon were the arteries of trade par- Jyzed." Now will this keensighted and astute writer inform us what influence Democratic successes in this country had on the failure of Morris Ranger, and the half a hundred other colossal business failures that have recently occurred in Liverpool and London? Mr. John W. Garratt seems to have aiife-tepurfe On the Baltimore & Ohio railroad company. At the meeting of directors Tuesday he was re-elected for the 26th consecutive term. When he entered on his first term in 1858 the length of the roads controlled by that company was 514 miles, the cost of which was $32,000,000, now it is 1,995, at a cost of more than $134,000, 000. The aggregate revenues at- the end of that year were $4,301,009.17, now they are nearly $20,000,000 It is said that the aggregate wealth Represented by the host and guests at VanderbiJt's ball, at his residence in Now York, a few nights ago, was $500,000,000. -vKl i tm t inns to Hon.

A movement has been set on foot in the Virginia Legislature to impeach Robert L. Mays, coalition judge of Botetourt county, who is charged with want of veracity, corruption and various other short comings that unfit him for the office. The assessment footings from the various parishes of Louisiana show an increase n the aggregate amount ing to $6,375,979, compared with last year. This, in consideration of de structive floods and short croDs' in several quarters, is regarded as !an excellent showing. i Fred Douglass has an article in $be last issue of Harper's Weekly on the 'Condition of the, Freedmen," whk;h hgthria to be'fti the highest stite Of prosperity In the very States where the Republican politicians have charged that they were not allowed to buy farms and build up their for tunes. This is enough to drive the bloody shirters to desperation. Gen. Albert Sidney Johnson, who was killed in the battle of Shiloh dur ring the war, left his family in poor circumstances. He had a certificate of location for 640 acres of land in Texas at the head of Brazos river. His widow, who resides in California, was urged by her friends to sell it, but re fused to do so. A coal mine has been discovered on it and it is now worth $100,000. HOUSE OF RE PRESENT A I IVES After the Introduction of a Few Reso lutions and the Announcement ol a Committee on Rule, it Adjourns to Monday. Washington, 1 Dec. 14 House. Hobhtzell, of Maryland, introduced a joint resolution requesting the Presi uens k issue a proclamation, urging the various religious denominations jtltroughdut the country to commem orate December 23rd, 1883, the cen tenary anniversary ot the surrender by Oeorge Washington ot uia com mission as commander-in-chief of the army, to request that business be sus pended on Monday December 24tb, and the same oe treated as a public holiday. On the motion of Kasson, of Iowa, the resolution was referred to a spe cial committee to be composed of five members. 3 Tucker, of Virginia, introduced a bill, diretg. the Secretary of the Treasury to settle the accounts of certain spates and the city of Balti more, growing out of monevs ex pended for military purposes in the war of 1812. Kererred. Horr, of Michigan, asked leave to offer a resolution that the House bring to the notice of the President the case of of the recent murder of several persons, alleged to have been citizens ot the United btates, and tne serious injury of several other per sons, also alleged to be citizens of the United States, at Danville, Va., in the hope that the President may as certain whether the peisons so mur dered or injured were citizens of the United States; if so whether the kill ing and injuring of said citizens, if tney were sucn, were 111 contraven tion of the provisions of the munici pal law or the Wtate ot v lrginia, or ot any law 01 tne united otates. Morrison, of Illinois, objected tor the present, saying that the Presi dent knew as much about the matter as Congress did. Cabell, of v lrginia, said, that as the as the representative of the peo ple assailed by the resolution, he was sorry that objection had been made. He was willing to have the fairest and fullest investigation of this mat ter. The committee on Rules was an nounced as follows by the Speaker Messrs. Blackburn, of Kentucky; Randall, of Pennsylvania ; Keifer, of Ohio; and Read, of Maine. Cox, of New York, asked leave to introduce for immediate cbnsidera tion a joint resolution for: the repeal of the test oath. Objected to. The House then at 12 :45 adjourned until Monday. THE DIVORCED WIFE. Et-Senator Chrisiiaucy's W ile Dies ihe Victim of the Chloral Habit. NEW York, Dec. 14. Eight weeks ago the divorced wife of Ex-Senator Christiancv came to Brooklyn to visit friends at No. 35 Schimerhorn street. She concealed her identity under the name of Miss Lizzie Lusenbeetg. As there was no room for her in the house of her friends, she lodged at the house of Dr. Dupre, next door. About a week ago Dr. Dupre, who had become convinced by the actions of his lodger that she was a victim of the chloral habit, made the discovery that she was the wife 01 tne rx &ena tor. On Monday last she became very nervous and began to show symptoms of insanity, and yesterday she was so violent that sedatives had to be administered. A consultation of physicians was called, and it was declared tnat sne was in a aying con dition from mental and physical prostration. She continued to sink rapidly and died tms morning wjm all the symptoms of acute mania. The parents from Washington arrived too late to see her auve. An Embarrassing Qeestion. Rome. Dec. 14.

The Legislation Before Congress Too Much Surplus Modification, if Not Total Abolition, Demanded -The Internal Revenue and the Tariff-- The Genial Congressman Discusses GrHpes More About the Offices, &c. Corrapondtnce of the Oteervr. Washington, Dec. 12. The repre sentative from the Cape Fear district was found this morning in his sitting room attached to the suite of rooms occupied bv himself and daughters at the Ebbitt House. Col. Wharton J. Green has never before held any leg islative positicn. He was elected to the State Senate by the soldier vote in -. ar times, but declined and let his opponent do the legislating for War ren county, while he did a part of its fighting. A man of spirit and culture, as well as wealth, he aas always taken a lively interest in public affairs, and has been an unswerving Democrat of the strictest school, serving the party on the stump and in State and Na tional conventions, hemoving to the Third District and the vicinity of Fayetteville, he not long after re ceived the nomination for Congress in the heated contest of 1882, in which he was the conciliation candidate Col. Green is in the prime of life, healthy, vigorous, imbued with the popular principles of the day on the subject of tariff reform, and is ex- ected to make one of North Carol ina's best representatives in Con gress. He talks freely and pleasantly, seems conversant with the different phases of opinion in the pany, and is in full sympathy with public opinion in North arolina. so tar as it is pos sible to ascertain hat it is at this distance. "Col. Green," questioned the Ob server correspondent, "do you think much will be done for our section at this session in regard to the internal revenue the reduction of the tax and the change or abolition in the mode of collection ?" "Yes, sir," was the reply, "but as there has been as yet no general con ference of the party, it is not easy to say what the particular features of the measure will be." "What would you propose?" "Well, in general terms, what seems most agreeable to our people the total abolition of tax and system, if it could be effected. That is, if the proper reductions in the revenue, lowering the duties and merely in creasing the amount raised, could be secured." "The two questions are thus associ ated intimately ?"' "Yes. My views were given not long since in a letter to the Louisville Courier-Journal." "But if this reduction does not cut to this point ?" "Then the best tliing would be to modify the tax all that is possible in order to provide revenue sufficient for the support of the government. Lastyear the surplus was$132,000,000. This is all wrong. Enough and no more than enough money to defray the necessary expenses should he col lected. These schemes to give vast sums of money to the States for pur poses however laudable are foreign to our system and affect unfavorably the general interests, besides bein unjust. Money should not be taken from the people except for the public necessities." "Will it be practicable to abolish the present machinery while retaining the tax, or any part of it ? And if so, in what manner would you suggest that the collections be made?" "The postm-iSters might be author ized to sell the stamps and issue the licenses. It could be done, also, by the custom house officials, or any other Federal officers where the cus tom houses are remote. I would not have collections made by the sheriff or any other State officer." ' 'As to the tariff will the reduction be on a considerable list of articles, or will the measure adopted be sim- Ely what is termed a "little" tariff ill?" "I am inclined to think the former. So many interests are involved, it will require very delicate handling, however. I can speak positively only as to my own views. Articles of prime necessity, such as blankets, should be either put on the free list or placed at the lowest figures. The free list ought to be enlarged." "What will be the general policy on these questions ?" "Very conservative, I am disposed to think. Certainly I do not favor the adoption of any radical pro gramme on the tariff, and the body will doubtless, from all outgivings, be actuated by the same principle." "Will the session be long, proba bly?"' ' "It will, if the tariff measure ex cites much debate. I think it will be a busy session." "You introduced three hills for im provements in your district?" "Yes. One for a public building for Federal purposes in Wilmington, to cost $100,000, and another for a simi lar building in FayetteviUe. except that its cost is proposed to be $ 5 000. These buildings are very much need ed. The bill for the improve ment cf Black River provides for the appro priation of $20,000. It is a feeder of the Cape Fear. The people now have an insufficient outlet for their pro duce. They are obliged to wagon it to the W. & W. Railroad, or to Point Caswell, thence to be sent by steam ers." Loiter m the day Cpi. Green was seen at the capitoj. Inquiry wag made as to his success with grapes and the production of scunnernone wine. He said that ne had been very successful. As to scuppernong wine, the trouble had been heretofore that there hf.d been no uniform standard. A man made wine bv a recipe, and when the brand proved popular and was asked ior, an article was iwn"Ku uupmui to, Qr at least different from, that originally "supplied. The Tokay wine of Jlungarv was not unlike the scup periiuiig, whkh destined to high rank among wines, coi. yreen is en thusiastic on tbesubjectof wine man ufacture. He thinks that the produc tion of grapea and the making of wine are to be the great industries of North Carolina. Mr. Russell Kingsbury, Jr., of Texas, formerly of Oxford, a relative of the assistant editor 01 tne wu minerton Star, was in the city to-day. Add to the North -Carolina appoint ments in the House offlceis that of Mr. Mack Mathieon, of Alexander county, a one armed soldier of the late Confederate Stat s. That makes four so far. In a conversation to-day General Vance said that the country owed more to patents than, to anything else for its material advancement, and illustrated, by horse shoes, which were formerly made by hand at the rata of . seventv-five Der day, but which were now manufaotured by machinery at the rate of 1,5C0 per hour Dr. York's bill on the internal reve nue differs from those of his col leagues. He proposes to appropriate the surplus in the Treasury and all money hereafter to be derived from internal revenue taxation for the pur poses of education. The new librarian of the House of Representatives is Col. William But ler, of South Carolina, a brother of Gen. M. C. Butler, Senator from South Carolina, and brother-in-law of Gen. M. W. Ransom, Senator from North Carolina. He was first an officer of the old United .States army, and then a colonel in the Confederate army. The appointment was made after the efforts of the North Carolina delega tion had failed to secure the place for that State, which has held it under Democratic rule for manv vears. The value of the place is $2,000 per an num. TT What Causes Weak Eyes, The reason people's eves reouire magnifying glasses is explained in this way : Just back of the pupil is a bit of elastic jelly, shaped just like a lens, held in place bv a circular .tuiss- cle and a flexible ligament. When distant objects are sighted the mus cles relaxes, the ligament stretches and flattens the lens; and when the object to be seen is near, the muscle contracts and the lens resumes a globular shapes. In old age the elas tic lens gets stiff, and does not spring back into a globular form. Magni fying lenses have to be added in or der to get the image of near objects focused on the retina. Nose-pinching glasses are to be avoided for the sake of comfotg and because nn uni formity of portion can be maintain ed with them. Color-blindness is a common defect. Some nennl J.r un able to distinguish trreen anrl voH. though yellow i a color never .nic taken by any one. Science thus far has tailed to relieve this defect, which seems to be seated in the brain. Shor.-sightedness is a disease and is remedied by conclave glasses which lengthen the focus. An instrument has been invented bv which oculist can select glasses suitable for patients A mirror is arranged so that the in terior of an eye can be seen with it and the condition of the lens and re tina accurately known.
