authorities, so that we may obtain
complete and comprehensive exhibit
of all the resources of the State by-
counties its minerals, soils, manu
facturing and agricultural pro
ducts. Let a generous rivalry be
stimulated between the various coun
ties as to their exhibits. Let the far
mers try which can raite, the ensuing
year, the best crops of every kind
Let the manufacturers vie with each
other in the quality of their goods,
and let our mining friends come to

The State of South Carolina has
just appropriated $10,000 to make an
exhibit of the resources o that State
and while th South and the whole
Union is to be congratulated upon the
successful outlook of this World's
Exposition, no State in the Union can
make a better showing of its resour
ces than North Carolina, if she will
but take the matter earnestly in hand
at once. That she will do so we
have no doubt if proper efforts be
made, and nothing shall be lacking
in our part.

PASSED I II K SENATE.
In the Senate of South Carolina
yesterday, after an animated debate,
the House bill limiting the power of
the railroad commission, to which
reference has been made in these col
umns, was passed by a vote of seven
teen for to sixteen against. Thus the
legislature has wisely modified an act
which in its arbitrary provisions was
doing the State an incalcul .ble
amount of damage.
LOUISIAft DEMOCKACY.
WORLD'S f.X POSITION AT NEW
OKLEAN8
After procuring a charter from the
National Congresg, more comprehen
sive than that granted to the centen
nial of 76, the National Cotton Plan
ters' Association of America, on the
24th of last April located the World's
Exposition and (Jotton Centennial in
the city of New Orleans, under a
pledge from fifteen hundred of its
citizens, that the sum of $500,000
would be raised to insure its success.
The citizens of New Orleans, under
the leadership of men of ability and
prominence, have gone bravely in o
the enterprise and have subscribed
the $500,000 required by their pledge,
but not content with this the capital
stock has been increased to $1,000,000,
and this additional stock is now being
rapdly taken. During this time, the city
government ot JNew Orleans has not
been idle, having made a direct ap
propriation of $100,000 for the pur
pose of erecting a Horticultura' Hall,
besides having granted many munic
ipal franchises of great value. When
we remember that only about $100,
000 was subscribed to the Atlanta
Exposition, and what that accom
plished, we get a faint idea of what
may be expected of this truly World's
Exposition.
From Commissioner-General More
head, who is now making a tour of
the States, North and South; confer
ring with the Governors and other
State officials for the purpose of se
curing comprehensive State exhibits,
and who is now on a visit to his
kinsman, Col. John L. Morehead, of
this city, we have gained much in
formation, of a most gratifying char
acter, concerning this mammoth un
dertaking. The plan of the main
bulding has just been decided uponand
itis most picturesque and beautiful in
style of architecture, and huge in di
mensions, covering no less than
twenty-eight acres of ground, and
being six acres larger than the main
building of the centennial. It w ill be
located in a grand park of one hun
dred and fifty acres bordering the
great Mississippi river for nearly a
-mile, and within fifteen minutes ride
of the centre of New Orleans.
The park is approached by eight
streets and one steam city rail way, be
sides its access by water.
A union track for the accomoda
tion of eight trunk lines of railway
will run into a Grand Union depot on
the grounds to facilitate freight and
passenger traffic. It is an assrred
fact that railway charges for freight
will be less than ever granted to any
previous exposition.
Now that the success of this great
national and international enterprise
is assured, and all the States of the
Union, as well as all the civilized na
tions of the world have been invited
by the President of the United States
to participate through collective ex
hibits, it behooves the people of North
Carolina and the officials in charge
of their destiny to be up and doing,
lest the laurels so recently won at
Boston be taken from us.
If North Carolina made the best
exhibit at Boston ever made by any
state of the Union, let it be doubled
for the World's Exposition at New
Orleans.for there the competition will
perhaps bo ten-fold what it was at
Boston.
Let the plan of local county expo-

Denouncing Ibe Lottery---A Lively
Squnbble Over the Adoption ol a Plat
form. New ' rleaxs. Dec. 21. A special
to the Picayune from Baton Rouge
says: lne committee on resolutions
of the Democratic State convention
submitted majority and minority re
ports. Among the resolutions ot the
minority is one declaring that the
Louisiana Lottery company is cor
rupting the morals of the people and
a disturbing element in the politics of
the State. It favors the adoption of
a constitutional amendment abolish
ing and prohibiting all lotteries in
the tate forever.
Mr. Boatner offered a substitute,
which was adopted, declaring hostili
ty to tne entire principle of lottery
dealing-; that the constitution de
clares gambling to be a vice, yet it
encourages vice in its worst "form;
that lotteries are not only inviting
the breaching of faith and embezzle
ment, but are demoralizing societj ,
i orrupting politics and impeding leg
islation, and concludes by demanding
that the Legislature to be chosen at
the ensuing election shall enact such
legal measurss as are necessary for
their suppression.
The platform adopted refers to the
deplorable condition of the State
under reconstruction, congratulates
the people upon their present pros
perous condition under the progres
sive policy of Democratic; administra
tion, asserts that the public schools of
the State demand the fostering care
of the government, and that, though
much has been achieved for their
promotion, a great deal more must be
done to render them efficient so as to
confer the benefits of education equal
ly upon me cnuaren ot every race,
and opposes monopolies of all kinds.
After the adoution of Boat.ner's
amendment, given above, Marston.
of Red River, demanded an opportu
nity to offer other amendments to the
platform, which being denied, he said
he would not ac-ept such a platform,
and withdrew from the hall in dis
gust. The majority report on platform
with amendment was adopted by a
vote mainly of the McEnery fa tion
ayes 236, nays 91, blank 06. An
acriminous discussion preceded the
adoption of the platform. Mr. Stone,
of East Felciania, attacked the ma
jority repcrt, commenting severely
on certain acts of the Democratic ad
ministration, such as land grabs, nen-
ltentiary lease, feeing lawyers em
ployed by the State. &c. Col Breaux
and Maj. Burke replied to Mr. Stone,
the f riner explaining his connection
with the land cases before the United
States Supreme court and the latter
seeking to vindicate the McEnery ad
ministration against the charges
made. 'J he convention adjourned
sine die.

Swiudle aud the Hyena CummikKimi.
Washlvgton, Dec. 21. The Color
ed National Convention met this
morning and appointed delegates to a
convention to Oe held at Richmond,
Va., in July next. Each Congres
sional district was allowed two dele
gates and each territory one repre
sentative. Fred Douglass, B. K
Bruce, of the District of Columbia
and William Merrill of Maryland
were elected members of the National
convention from the country at large.
The committee on the Freedmen's
bank made a final report memorali
zmg Congress to reimburse tne de
positors and denouncing the former
act of Congress in creating aco...mis
sion at $5,u00 a year to each member
to settle tne affairs of the institution.
In support of the adoption, Merrili
said ttiao the Freedmen's Bank was
tie most disgraceful swindle
that ever stained the earth or shocked
high heaven. The commission ap
pointed at $5,000 a year each was like
the hyena devouring carcass, and
then like the lion smashing the bones
and sucking marrow therefrom and
further more the Republican Con
gress made the committee pall bear
ers, of the same carcass. The com
mittee adjourned to meet in Chicago,
