WILD WATTERSOS. Mr. Henry Watterson. editor of th Liouisvilie Courier-Journal, who seems to have constituted himself the sne- cial champion of the free traders, is apparently becoming desperate. He frets over the opposition his pet measures are meeting with, and now proposes, where persuasion fails, to ply the party lash and drive dissent ing Democrats into the support of them. He spends most of his time in Washington now where his chief business seems to look after the in terests of the bonded whiskey men and spur Messrs. Morrison, Carlisle and others free trade leaders up to the fighting pitch. Monday night he tel egraphed to his paper a wild article expressive of his disappointment at the drift of events in Washington, from which we take the following: The sauad of Drotectionists claim. ing to be Democrats and led by Mr. Randall have undoubtedly mistaken the generosity and courtesy of Mr. Carlise for vascillation and have lur ed themselves into the belief that be cause Mr. Morrison has not been rash he is uncertain and afraid. Hence this classof political cuttlefish are in a state of confusion and rage over the strong and clear utterances of the Speaker Saturday night in New Yoric. A week ago they were dividing their time in about equal portions with bullying weaK-Kneea democrats and ogling expectant Republicans, with whom they are in correspondence and con spiracy. All through to-day they have been whining, putting up a poor mouth and tearfully pleading avoid ance of a caucus. The sooner the break comes the better. There can be no arrangement short of the Mor rison bill between the Democratic party and Pennsylvania. If Mr. Ran dall and his followers connot support so conservative measure they can support nothing but a high tariff bill proposed by the Republicans, and in that event they had better pick up their grip sacks ana go over to the Republicans, where, on this question, they properly belong. It is full time that masquerading should end. The Democratic masses are sick of it and it would have been brought to a round turn two weeks ago but for the deter mination of Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Morrison to exhaust every means of conciliation before they opened the campaign which the present organi zation or the Mouse made from the first a foregone conclusion. 'Mr. Morrison s bill is tar from being all that the friends of revenue reform, or even its author, could de- Bire. It was laid in the most liberal spirit of concession and it is simply a step in the right direction. Its failure means the defeat and may involve the dissolution of the Democratic party. The same clique in the nation al Democratic committee, headed by Mr. Chairman Barnum, and in (Jon gress, headed by Mr. Randall, which procured the defeat of General Han cock in 1880 by running away in a panic of ignorance and terror from the tariff issue, is now seeking to couple the Democratic party to the rear ot the Republican express. The Democratic people of the West and South are not going to allow it, nor are their representatives in Congress. We may be beaten in the coming struggle. The way these semi-Republican would be Democratic leaders are going it looks as though we shall be. But if we are to be beaten let us go down with our flag flying, and though we lose our baggage may we not at least save our honor r These be wild utterances for a man claiming leadership, and the recog nized mouth-piece, through his paper, of the free trade wing of the party. He draws the line, lays down the ultimatum, and says that men like Randall, Eaton and others who have given their big brains and years of unselfish service to the cause of De mocracy must come to it or go to the Republican party, and that de feat would be preferabla to further concession. If Mr. Watterson's whip ping in policy is to prevail it is just the right one to bring about defeat, for which Mr. Watterson is now so earnestly laboring. But we take it for granted that this wild raving does not express the feeling of any considerable number of men on Mr. Watterson's side of the line, for they would hardly be stupid enough to commit themselves to that line of action unless they wish to make the Presidential contest a mere burlesque. But if they do, and insist on'calling a party caucus with the view of putting on the thumb screws, members of Congress who do not subscribe to their views will give the caucus a wide berth and let Mr, Watterson's friends run it in their own way. The Milton Chronicle deplores the fact that the lobbyist takes such a LIULl IIUU UXil Y LU. wuKiooo. vu w-tv fitates, and says the only cure is to bring nw men, working men, busi ness men, to the front.

SENATOR RANSOM'S POSITION. The Washington letter which we pub- j lished Thursday gave the substance of an interview with Senator Ran som on the tariff and internal revenue questions, in which that gentleman takes strong ground for the abolition of the internal revenuo system, as a matter in which the people of North Carolina are vastly more interested than in any tariff reform however desirable that may be. If there is any one thing for which Senator Ransom is remarkable it is his conservatism and his disposition to survey the field, look at both sides of a question and weigh the reasons for and against before he speaks or commits himself. This is recognized at Washington, and to it is due much of the influence he wields in the body of which he is such a distinguished member. He does not approve of the course in reference to the tariff question pursued by the majority in the House, and is appre hensive of evil results that may fol low by springing and forcing issues that might well be left in abeyance for the present, nor does he think that the revenue system monstrosity ought to be perpetuated to advance tariff reform. As a representative of a people who have suffered and still suffer from the oppressive features of this system, and will continue to suffer while it lasts, he believes its abolition ought to be the first thing aimed at, and after that such tariff reform as may be desirable or be de manded by the people of this and oth er States. Total abolition may not be practicable, but our representatives should be united in the effort to so modify the system as to divest it of its oppressive features, and of the im mense political power it has wielded, and will continue to wield, while as at present constituted. There is a work before Senator Ransom in which he can be of real service to his people. The Legislature of North Carolina in 1883 passed the following resolu tion: If Congress should deem it im practicable to modify the present tar iff and at the same time abolish the the internal revenue taxes, as the lesser of the two evils, we prefer the retention of the former and the abo lition of the latter. Instead of diluted brandy, old man Bismarck now drinks cold tea. He has probably heard of the favorite drink in the U. S. Senate. SOUTHERN METHODIST GROWTH. Interesting Figures Snowing How That Church is Progressing. The General Minutes of the Metho dist Episcopal Church, South, for l6j, just prepared by lie v. w . ir. Harrison, D. D., the Book Editor, re veal some interesting facts illustra tive ot the rapid growth of the Church. During the past calendar year its membership has increased 26,949, and now numbers 904,248. This growth is at the rate of 3 07 per cent, per annum. This is a gain upon the population ot the bouthern states, the rate of which is 2.90 per cent, per annum compound. The gain in the number 01 Sunday-school scholars is equally as decided 26,508. For the cause 01 missions the gam m the amount of contributions is $19,881.32 the total amount collected being $227,640 38. The amount collected for worn-out travelling preachers and the widows and orphans of deceased preachers was $87,140.07 a gain of $5;713.25. In this connection, it mav move interesting to note the wonderful growth of Methodism in the South. It is a well-authenticated fact that Methodish has flourished and pros pered better in the South than in any other part of the country. Bishop Mclyeire will, in his iorthcoming History of Methodism, successfully demonstrate that American Metho dism was first planted in the South, and that the first Methodist church in America was built and organised in the South by dtrawbridge in Mary land. When the Methodist Episcopal Church in America was organized one hundred years ago an event that will be appropriately celebrated this year throughout he bounds of the Church three fourths of the members were to be found in the Southern States. While this pro portion has not been maintained, it is true that the largest part of the membership of the various branches of American Methodism is to be found in the South. In 1866. iust after the close of the late war. the membership of the M. E. Church South was sou.uuu. xne statistics which we give for 1883 show that it has nearly doubled its membership. If the number ot mem bers that was given to the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in Amer ica when it was organized by the Southern Church m 1870 is taken in to the account, it will be shown that the Church has doubled its member ship during the past eighteen years This is a remarkable showing.

Complete Text ofllis Speech Before th e Legislature in Mississippi. The Jackson (Miss.) Clarion gives the following complete report of the speech of Mr. Jefferson Davis at the ovation extended to him by the Leg islature or that btate on the 10th insc: "Friends and Brethren of Miss issippi : In briefest terms, but with deepest feeling, permit me to return my thanks lor the unexpected honor you have conferred on me. Away from the political sea, I have in my secluded home observed with intense interest all passing events affecting the interests or honor of Mississippi, and have rejoiced to see in the diver sification of labor, the development of new sources of prosperity, and the increased facilities of public educa tion, reason to hope for a future to our State more prosperous than any preceding era. The safety and honor of a republic must rest upon the mor ality, intelligence and patriotism of the community. We are now in a transition state. which is always a bad one, both in society and in nature. What is to be the result of the changes which may be anticipated it is not possible to forecast, but our people have shown such fortitude and have risen so grandly from the deep affliction inflicted upon them, that it is fair to entertain bright hopes for the future. Sectional hate, concentrating itself upon my devoted head, deprives me of the privilege accorded to Oth ers in the sweeping expression of without distinction of race, color or previous condition ' but it cannot de prive me of that which is nearest and dearest to my heart, the right to be a Mississippian, and it is with great gratification that I receive this em phatic recognition of that right by the representatives of our people. Reared on the soil of Mississippi, the ambition of my boyhood was to do something which would redound to the honor and welfare of the State. he weight of many years admon ishes me that my day for actual ser vice has passed, yet the desire re mains undiminished to see the peo ple of Mississippi prosperous and happy, and her fame not unlike the past, gradually growing wider and brighter as the years roll by. It has been said that 1 should ap- 1 ply to the United "States tor a par don, but repentance must precede the right of jardon, and I have not repented. Remembering as 1 must all which has been suffered, all which has been lost, disappointed hopes and crushed aspirations, yet I delib erately say. if it were to do over again, I would again do just as I did in 1861. JNo one is the arbiter of his own fate. The people of the Confed erate States did more in proportion to their numbers and means than was ever achieved by any in the world's history. Fate decreed that they should be unsuccessful in the effort to maintain their claim to resume the grants made to the fed eral government. Our people have accepted the decree ; it therefore be hooves them, as they may, to pro mote the general welfare ot the Union, to show to the world that hereafter, as heretofore, the patriot ism of our people is not measured by lines of latitude and longitude, but is as broad as the obligations they have assumed, and embraces the whole of our ocean-bound domain. Let them eave to their children and children's children the grand example of never swerving from the path of duty, and preferring to return good tor evil rather than to cherish the unmanly feeling of revenge. But never ques tion, or tteach your children to dese crate the memory of the dead by ad mitting that their brothers were wrong in the effort to maintain the sovereignty, freedom and independ ance which was their inalienable birthright. Remembering that the coming generation are the children of the historic mothers whose devo tion to our cause in its darkest hour sustained the strong and strengthen ed the weak, I cannot believe that the cause for which our sacrifices were made can ever be lost, but rath er hope that those who now deny the justice of our asserted claims will earn from experience that the lath ers builded wisely, and the consti tution should be construed according to the commentaries of the men who made it. It having been previously understood that I would not attempt to do more than to return my thanks, which are far deeper than it would be possible for me to express, I will now, Senators and Representatives, and to you, ladies and gentlemen, who have honored me with your attendance, bid you an effectionate, and, it may be, a last farewell." 'The Views of the Minority." Washington Critic During the morning hour in the House to-dav the Wood-Peters con tested election case was reported in favor of the contestee. "I want to present the views of th minority, came a voice irom me eastern portion of the House. Every one looked in the direction from whence came the vocal sound, and Mr. Bennett (N.

The people for more than eighteen years have been paying taxes levied for war purposes in time of war. The first internal revenue was en acted to aid in extinguishing the debt of the Revolution. The second was passed to furnish means for carrying on the second wrar with Great Britain. The third went into effect in 1863, to provide money for supporting the "rebellion." An excise law is always offensive to a free people. That passed under Washington's administration led to open resistance in Pennsylvania, and brought matters to the verge of civil strue. Had it not been for the whis key rebellion, as it was called, that act would have been repealed before Mr. Jefferson recommended its re peal in his first message. It existed from 1792 to 1801, and yielded $6,1 12,- vyf revenue ol the Treasury. The next act existed five vears. and from 1814 to 1818 yielded u revenue Of $14,143,852. In a few weeks nineteen vears will have passed away since the close of the civil war. From 1866 to 1883 the receipts from internal revenue taxes aggregated the enormous sum of $2,- 644,282,15(5. Dunne: the sixteen ears of the two earlier periods of excise taxes, the receipts were $20,255,949 in all, or less than a seventh part of last year's re turns from this source under the re duced scale. The causes which led to the whis- kep rebellion in Pennsylvania were trifling compared with the outrages inflicted by the agents of the internal revenue at the present time, especi ally in districts distant from the great cities and among people who are not familiar with the law, and who have only limited knowledge of their own rights. There is a standing army of four thousand partisans, drilled like regu lar troops, and trained in machine politics. Their political services furn ish immunity for crimes that, with a proper administration of justice, would long ago have sent many of inem to the penitentiary.
