Judge Field, of California, occupies a conspicuous position in the Demo cratic party. His name has been urged for the Presidency in the past, and ia on the list of possible candi dates now, though it is not probable it will come before the convention. His position in the party, and his un questioned and unquestionable fideli ty to the party, entitle his opinions to consideration, especially in times like these, when cool heads are needed at the front, and when hasty or mis directed action may lead to disastrous results. In conversing upon the policy to be pursued on the tariff question, recently, he is quoted as saying : "I think Congress ought to be verv careful how it conducts itself in its free trade policy. It should so slow on the tariff reform question. Proba bly the tar in may need reformation in some sense. Ihere are inequalities. Eerhaps, that ought to be removed, ut I do not think the people of this country will favor or will consent to a sweeping tariff reduction or a gen eral free trade policy. There are six hundred thousand voters interested in keeping the manufacturing indus tries of this country in such a condi tion that they can earn a comfortable living through them." This is a thoughtful utterance from one who takes a disinterested survey of the field, and sees the situation as it is, and recognizes what the Demo cratic party has to contend against. Facts as developed every day attest the wisdom of this advice. It is in disputable that within the Democratic party there is much division of senti ment upon the tariff question, arising from the local interests involved. We tind in some of the Western States a strong sentiment in favor of protec tion to wool, aside from the manufac turing interests which have grownup and become strong in States which but a few years ago were almost ex clusively agricultural States. In some of the Southern Slates, too, we find much change of opinion upon this question, and a growing opinion m favor of protection where a few years ago tree trade would have met with no opposition. In Louisiana the planters are almost unanimous in favor of protection to the sugar in terests. And yet these States must be held by the Democracy if it ex pects to elect the next President, and can they be held if the protective idea is to be ignored and a square out free trade platform adopted? With all the lights before us we do not know of a single Republican State that can be won on a free trade platform as an offset to any Democratic State that may be lost. We are not here arguing whether the advocates of protection to this or that interest should take issue with the party if free trade should become its slogan, but are looking at the facts as they present themselves, and pointing out, as we see it, the clanger before us if the coulter is run too deep, and leaders fail to recognize the fact that there- is a diversity of sentiment,' which it is imprudent to ignore. We know that Mr. Carlisle advises mov ing cautiously and slowly, and draws a distinction between reformation and revolution, but the trouble is that when the campaign opens the opposition will take only as much of his utterances as serves their pur poses, and on these they will ring the phanges and make the attack, placing the party on the defensive, ag they have done in nearly every preceding campaign since the war. They twist, contort and pervert every utterance made, and will have no scruples as to the amount of misrepresentation they indulge in or the methods they em ploy to place the Democratidpartyjr a false attitude. We have an unprin cipled foe to deal with, which is ever on tho alert to take advantage Of any and every hasty step that may -be made. .. Several CAses" have been reported recently of toes ctfjif by the foolish practice of srmppinf pistols which weriuitoojwd t The .. w , iti,jf- r- , per iffef is'ttilly enougq to point an&pujtne trigger of a pistol or gun at another in a spirit of play ought to be sent to an asylum to be taken care of. The unloaded pistol is really a more dangerous instrument than the loaded one, especially in the hands of a simpleton. It has been noticed in Washington that rthe deaths which have taken place among members of the House during the sessions since tne t orty fifth Congress, on both the Republi can and Democratic side, have been from the middle or fourth row. That therefore, been called "Fa tality Row." m , ;Jf ': The Tilden boom seems to be work ing up mainly from the direction of Georgia, where a certahl number of inQn aAAtn to nav.iaM.eu iu Keifer threatens to retire from pub lic life at the end of his present term in Congress. There is a bill before the Massachu setts Legislature to establish the whipping post for wife beaters. Ex President Jefferson Davis will be 76 years of age in June next, and notwithstanding the reports about his failing health, it is said to be re markably good for a man of his years. Investigations on the subject of oleomargarine manufacture in New York show that several workmen employed by these establishments have been poisoned by handling the stuff, and some have died from the effects of the poisoning. 1 1 1 Last year 164 manufacturing firms failed in the Eastern States, 232 in the Middle States, 152 in the Western States, while only 47 failed in the Southern States. Of the total num ber of failures in the South only 2i per cent, occurred among manufac turers. Mr. Arthur has figured it out that he will have 362 votes at Chicago on the first ballot. This will not be enough to nominate, but he thinks the requisite number will be obtained before the third ballot. Of the 362 votes claimed as sure, 240 are counted on as coming from the Southern States. The programme of Blaine's backers is said to be to keep his name out of the convention until the fight between the other aspirants becomes lively, and when things eet prettv badlv tangled, to introduce Blaine's name as a peace offering, and run it through with a sort of a whoop as was done with Garfield. A Tribute to Woman's Physical Endu rance. St. Louis Republican. A man, big and stout, with lung power and a spinal robustness never allotted to the best made woman on earth, would scream to have the tor ture removed in an hour or less if he were clot hed as the frailest women are. His trousers are loose in the waist band, and suspended from his shoulders : his shoes large and gener ally low heeled, and his hair is not pressing on his brain, tied with a string, stuck full of hair pins, with a bonnet driving them well nigh into his brain. The man does not live who could waddle about in tied-back, leaden skirts, corsets with whalebones pierc ing his vitals, French heels, hoop skirts to trip him up every few mo ments and hats screwed down on a wig or switch, his hands encased in a kid glove a full size too small, and running a race to catch the street car in a high gale of wind. He would simply tall down, roll over in the mud, scream thieves! murder! and lie there until some Samaritan drag- ;ed him out of his misery. The won er is that women be as handsome. graceful and supple as they are with the disadvantages they labor under at present. They could never endure such a martyrdom themselves unless inured to it from the cradle, like Chinese ladies whose tiny feet are stuck into inflnitesmally small wood en shoes at birth and kept from grow ing with the freed body ever after. The Fish Hatcheries. Raleigh News and Observer. Mondav a reoorter came across Mr. Stephen G. Worth, State fish commis ioner, and made some inquiries as to the work at the hsh hatcheries this season. Mr. wortn said tne work would begin April 2nd. Twenty-five assistants will be employed. There wul this year be nve stations at Avoca, Raleigh, Weldon, New Berne and Wilmington. At Edenton Mr. Worth wul have his headquarters. The main body of the assistants will be at Avoca, as heretofore. At Wei don special observations upon the spawning of the rockfish will be made. From Raleigh rock and shad eggs will be distributed by express to points all over the State. Fish will be hatch ed at the State fish ponds near this city and placed in Neuse river. This plan wul be more expeoiuous ana wul save much labor and trouble. In addition to the work Of fish pro pagation there are two other import ant matters before the fish commis sioner, the one being the representa tion of the fisheries of the State at the exposition and at New Orleans, and the other revision of the oyster laws. Commissioner Worth is giving this subject his attention and will be pre pared at the next session to commend legislation which will lead at once to the cultivation of oysters in all avail able places. North Carolina is behind just in this particular, but she will soon be up and to the front as she already is in other fishing matters. Is it Sale to Dancer New York Journal of Education. - A great deal can be said about danc- me: lor instance, tne cniei 01 police rof New York City says that three- fourths of the abandoned girisoi mat city were ruined by dancing. Young ladies allow erentlemen nrivileges in dancing which, taken under other circumstances, would be considered improper. It requires neither brains nor good morals tone a good dancer. As the love of one increases, the love of the other, degreafies. How many of the best men and women are skill ful dancers? In ancient times the sexes danced separately. Alcohol is the spirit ot beverages. So sex is the spirit of the dance: take it away and let the sexes dance separately, and dancing would go out of fashion very soon, parlor dancing is very danger ous. Tippling leads to drunkenness, and parlor dancing leads to ungodly balls. Tippling and, park dancing sew to the wind, and both reap the whirlwind. Put dancing in the cru cible, apply the acids, weigh it, and the verdict of reason, morality and religion is, "Weighed in the balance and iound wanting. Rescued From Death. wm. j. uougnnn, 01 somervme. Mass., says: ue In the fall of 1876 1 was taken with bleeding of Lunes followed by a severe cough. I tost my appetite and flesh, and was confined to my bed, In 1877 1 was admitted to the hospital. The doctors said I had a hole In my lung aa big as a half dollar. At one time a resort went around that I was dead. I gave up hope. Dirt a friend told me of Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam for the Lungs. I got a bottle, when, to my surprise, I commenced to get well, and to-day I feel oeuer taou iur tares yeara. - Cared of Spasms. 'I am wen and happy again' says our fair cor respondent. Miss Jennie V. warren, 740 W. Van Buren St., Chicago, 111., "your Samaritan Nervine pared me 01 spasms." THE SITUATION BETTER PROSPECTS FOR HAR MONY. Interview With Gen. Ransom on the Effect of the Tariff Agitation- Jndge Bennett's Federal-Jarors Bill. Correspondence of The Obsebveh. Washikgton, March 17. General Ransom who spent several days re cently at home, and who looks in better health since his return, was met in Statuary Hall of the Capitol this morning. He talked freely of men and measures, but as much of what he said is deemed confidential, it is only necessary to state that he expresses himself as in favor of a low tariff, although he does not approve of the attitude of the majority in the House of Representatives. As concerns North Carolina the Senator is clearly of the opinion that everything possible must be done to reduce the internal revenue and abol ish the gad-flies and vampires to which it gives nutriment. I do not remember ever to have heard him talk with greater emphasis on any question. "Do you mean," was ask ed, "that the system must be abol ished, or, at least, that the party here must do all that is possible to abolish it." He was understood as replying in the affirmative; that it would have a most important effect on the ap proaching election : and that it was of greater importance than the tariff itself, at least, to the people of North Carolina. He was questioned as to the proprity of setting up a local issue in opposition to one which is national, and replied that the tariff is a local issue and has always been a local issue. He did not see that any new ideas had been advanced on the subject, and was prepared to endorse the resolutions of the North Carolina Assembly. "But these are strong declarations in favor of reforming the tariff, which is heartily denoun ced?" "Yes, but all that is couoled with a stronger declaration in favor of retaining the tariff if either has to be abandoned and the other left." He did not seem to be impressed with the idea that thj internal reve nue could be abolished or greatly re duced if the tariff was reformed. Turning off, he remarked his solici tude and the hope that North Carolina would not be injured by the course of the party. As could be inferred from my tele gram of this afternoon the situation has improved. The Georgia and Missouri delegations are not against the tariff measure. But the bill will probably be further modified in cau cus. (Joal and lumber will have to come off the free list as printed, leav ing salt only. The Pennsylvania men are moderating, and the chances are that the bill will receive the sup port of nearly the whole party in the House. This may give it some pros pect in the Senate. The committee on the Revision of the Laws reported this afternoon, through Mr. Oates, of Alabama, Judge Bennett's bill concerning the standing of jurors to the foot of the panel in Federal courts. It is that amendment of the Revised Statutes of the United States, Section 819. which has been printed recently in these columns. Reed twitted the amiable gentleman who had charce of the bill with not understanding its true cnaracter, wnicn ne intimated in his Yankee school-marm manner was something very naughty, indeed. Then tall Bisbee, of Florida, de nounced the measure. These speeches got the Republicans on their ears. Judge Bennett made a strong state ment of the workings of the English system of challenges ; as Reed, the pedagogue, declared, he "went into ancient history." Before the Judge could conclude his remarks, which had been extended five minutes by the courtesy of Mr. Oates, the ham mer fell, and he asked and obtained leave to finish in the Record. Judge Bennett speaks in the House with much deliberation, a powerful voice and some mannerism. He was evi dently annoyed that his speech was cut short by the limitation of the de bate. He prepares his speeches with care, ne has made two, and attracts more attention than most of the new members. Said Jim Randall, the poet editor, to me the other day : 1 our man. Judge Bennett, is a very big man." And he has said the same thing twice since. But to leave Ben nett and get back to the vote. The motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill, which requires two-thirds of those voting, was lost by lack of only eight votes. The defeat of so good a measure is to be deplored. But it may turn up in better luck some other time. Dr, York introduced a bill by re quest to-day concerning Cherokee lands in North Carolina. I under stand some of the other members de clined to undertake it on account of its great length and consequent cost of printing. Uol. (ireen introduced a bul requir ing star route contractors to be resi dents of the State in which the route is located. At the sitting of the Public Build ings committee a few days ago Maj. Dowd and all of the North Carolina members except two were present, and not sitapiy Gen. Vance, as stated in this correspondence, I understand inai me wnote aeiegauon ia jxiii-eL-ed in procuring such edifices as it is possible to obtain. H.

There is rather a good storv told of Henry Meiggs, the railroad "king of TT. TT 1 . n jreru. ne oraerea a magnincent set of silver ware from Tiffany's. One day a young man, son of wealthy Earents at Long Island, entered Tif iny's to buy his mother a present, and was shown Meiggs' order. Re turning home he described it to his Earents, and expressed a regret that e had not been able to duplicate it for them. "You could," said his father, "if Meiggs would pay me what he owes me. He then told in 1832 he had brought a quantity of lumber down the Hudson lor Meiggs, and been paid in notes for $7,500, on which he had never got anything. Unknown to the lather the son se cured the notes, wrote a letter to Meiggs on the basis of old friendship between his father and Meiggs, and sent; them to Peru through a banking firm. In quick response there came from the contractor an affectionate letter, enclosing a draft for $15,000, principal and interest. This event was celebrated by the purchase of a silver service, identical with the one that led up to the payment, and Meiggs was notified of the use (made of his money. He thereupon wished to reimburse his old friend for the present, but that was declined. The old friendship has heen resumed, however, and a new one established between the sons. W hat it W ould Take to Elect Blaine. Boston Herald dad.) The Republicans should pray that the Democrats may not blunder much between now and July. A shrewd observer says that ' 'if they blunder enough Blaine will be the nominee of the Republicans." It would take a row of Democratic blunders as thick as mile posts and as long as the Pacific railroads to place Blaine in the White House. Death of Madame Anna Bishop. New York, March 19.
