SEN ATOR-ELECT PAYNE
ON THE
TARIFF.
In view of the fact that Henry B.
p7ne succeeds Mr. Pendleton as U.
S- Senator from Ohio, his views on
the Wriff question are of interest to
the public in a speech deuverwu ou
the 8th of January, 1883, he spoke as
follows:
"Frequently we hear a Democratic
speaker, timidly 5 in a subduedvo.ee,
as though fearing to compromise
himself, advocate a tariff for revenue
with incidental protection. Why
such indirection and cowardice, in
- - i ....
view onne xnexnaustible and m
measurable resources of our country
In coal, iron, copper, wool, cotton
and corn, abundant under the foster
ing care of the government to sup
ply the wants of not only a present
population of 50,000,000, or the 100,
000,000 which many of you will live
to witness, but of the 500,000.000 or
1,000,000,000, which in the probable
future, the national census will enu
merate, and of the populations of
Mexico and the Central and Southern
republics, whose markets ought long
since to have been opened for our
manufactures. It is difficult toun
derstandwhy our statesmen should
Hesitate and. vacillate In the dis
charge of their, duty. A judicious
tariff is not one for protection only,
nor for revenue only, nor again for
revenue with the shadowed outlines
of an incidental tail appended to it,
but it is a tariff of both revenue ana
protection, one and inseperably ad
justed and perfected eo as to do jus
tice to the great interests of the
country and injustice to none."
In the caucus which nominated
him he received a majority of four
teen over all, which would indicate
that his views on this question are
not unpopular among the Democracy
of Ohio.
ANOTHER.
It is said that there are living upon
some portions of tne mountains in
the western part of North Carolina,
people who never saw a wagon or
wheeled vehicle of any kind. Bridle
paths lead to their homes, and all
they know bf the World is contained
within an area of a few miles. There
is an old mountaineer who' is living
on the farm where he was born.

We find this paragraph in the Bon
ham (Texas News. Its paternity
probably belongs to Joe Mulhatton,

In the town of BendersvQle, Adams
county, Pehnfcylvahia, Christmas
night, a gang of drunken ruffians en
tered the Lutheran church, "which
was decorated with evergreens for the
occasion, tramped up to the pulpit,
dragged the preacher out, threw him
upon the floor and dashed water up
on him, following it up by tearing
down the decorations and tramplin g
them upon the floor. The congrega
tion and the one policeman of the
town were demoralized and no ar
rests were made. This was in Penn
sylvania. If it had occurred in a

as an evidence of Southern lawless

Bain was read, which shows that nine
new lodges have been established
during the year, and the receipts1
amounted to 13,411.25.
The report of J. H. Mills, superin
tendent of the orphan asylum, placed
the receipts of that institution for the
SrTr1??1 months at $14,308.87,
tj' disbursements at $12,851. 67,
leaving a balance of $1,457.20 The

as can be judged have bright,
pects before them. The health oftBitj
orphans was reported as good.
Wednesday the Grand Lodge in
morning session met at 10 o'clock.
Committee No. 1 recommended
through B W. Hatcher that Forest
City, Shawnee and States vilte Lodges,
U. D., be granted charters, and called
the especial attention of the Grand
Lodge to the noble action of States
ville Lodge in contributing $150. to
the Oxford orphan asylum, the result
of its work on thanksgiving day.
T. S. Kenan introduced a resolution
to appoint a board of directors for the
orphan asylum, which was referred
,to theaSylarn committee.
H. F. Brandon, from the committee
on unfinished business, submitted a
report in regard to making the office
of deputy grand matter elective, and
after discussion, further proceedings
in the matter "were 'postponed until
the afternoon session.
C!ommittees.were appointed as fol
lows to supply vacancies caused by
absent members :

W. Gidney, C. D. Rice and
L.-Barren.

The committee on orphan asylum
was announced as follows :
John Nichols, John McCfcrmick. P.

W. Cotten, J. A. Leach, George Wil
liamson, J. L. Cantwell.
The special committee on obituaries
was announced as follows: J. M.
Lane, J. A. FerriU and W. D. Spruill.
John W. McCormick, P. G- M-, in
pursuance of notice given Tuesday
evening, introduced the following
amendment to the Masonic-code:
Resolved, That section 1, article 2,
page 16 of the code be amended by
striking out the words "shall be fifty
cents 'per capita' annually for each
member reported on the annual re
turns," ana insert in lieu thereof the
words "fifteen dollars annually."
This resolution was rejected. The
effect of this would have been to
make the annual dues of each subor
dinate lodge fifteen dollars, instead
of fifty cents "per capita" as at
present.
Thos. S. Kenan from committee on
iuri8Drudence reported back resolu
tion of G. Rosenthal in regard to dis

Washington, Jan. 10. Everybody
has been on tip-toe over the rumors
of the internal feud and. defection in
the ' Democratic ranks which . nave
prevailed during the' past two or
three' days. While close, inquiry
does hot bear but these reports, there
is no question that they originated in
minor differences on tne tariff sub
jects. . These have been greatly exag
gerated. It was said that Mr. Randall and
about forty, more or less, of his re
cent supporters intended to bolt the
action of the Ways and Means com
mittee, if it should take any other
course than postpone the subject of
tariff reform. Pretty thorough in
vestigation fails to develop the man
out of this laree number who confess
es the corn or fails to denounce the
report as a senseless calumny. The
two North Carolina members who
voted for Mr. Randall and who avow
themselves to be as good revenue re
formers as any on the floor. Messrs,
Scales and Dowd, will probably pre
sent their views'on the subject of the
tariff in full to-morrow through this
correspondence. They authorized
the subtance of the telegram this
evening.

Mr. Morris,, chairman of the com
mittee, and asido rrom that fact its
leading spirit, remarked to a well
known representative from Pennsyl
vania, a Democrat, on yesterday,
that he and others would be greatly
and agreeably surprised when the
report on the tariff should be present
ed at its moderation. Members on
the floor this afternoon after adjourn
ment, spoke with assurance ot party I
harmony. Major Dowd said that if.

was reported rejecting the "horizon
tal" principle, which he thought un
just, not to say foolish, every Demo
crat witnout exception wouia do

the rumors of his meditated treason,
Mr. Randall is reported to-day to
have said: "Yes, while they accuse
me of plotting to injure, I have been
very busy in my committee-room do
ing what I could to help the Demo
cratic party." The injurious rumors,
apparently without a responsible
father, nave aone some service, ine

do not think the wisest men on the
committee or in the House ever in
tended to proceed otherwise then in
great moderation. But this little
scare was well enough to emphasize
the dangers of the contrary course.
Besides, it is the means of drawing
out the fact of the essential unity of
the Democratic party.
There are many persons arouna tne
Capitol who rejoice in the defeat of
that able, experienced and clean
handed Pendleton. Others, ana
there are a majority, pronounce it a
bad day for the rejuvinated Demo
cracy when the best thing they can
do in the great State of Ohio is to re
place so accompnsnea a statesman Dy
a man whose chief distinction is that
he is the head of the Standard Oil
monopoly. e
The respective "points or tne Dru
liantVest,of Missouri,and the flamboy
ant Fry e,of Mail. e, were brought out in
Wednesday afternoon's debate on the
proposed rule of the Senate, reported
by the latter. This rule establishes
a separate committee ol jjiterutu ua

than he does now in the Senate. He
is the only man in the bodj , except
Mahone, who trains his voice in the
skylight, his legs on the whole arena
of the mam aisie, ana nisarms on tue
circumambient air. But the gentle
man from Maine, with all his excite
ment, was unable to command the
attention of the Senate, even .when
he discoursed eloquently of the decay
of American commerce and the de
linquencies of the Commerce commit
tee. Messrs. Vest, McMillan, Coke
and others tripped him on his facts.
Frye is not particularly uue uu uuia,

favor of treasury notes to supplant

that he did not believe that the prop

tion could pass the iiouse, aitnougn
he intimated that it might be report
