The drafters of the so-called Lib eral platform start out with the an nouncement that the greatest boon ever vouchsafed the human family by the Creator is a "civilized govern ment," and then they "whereas" that such government cannot be main tained unless based directly upon the will of society, freely expressed through the ballot and cordially in vite all good citizens of North Caro lina irrespective of past political af filiations, to co-operate with the aforesaid score or so of Liberals in maintaining it. Until this announce ment thus boldly made we had lived under the pleasant delusion that we had a civilized government in this country, and that other countries also even where the ballot does not "freely express the will of society," had had civilized governments. The Englishman, Frenchman, German, Italian, Russian and other denizens of the old world will be indebted to the drafters of this unique platform for the discovery that they do not live under civilized governments. The Liberals feeling the grandeur of the cause that inspires them to heroic resolve, have struck hands with Dr. Mott and the revenue machine to preserve and perpetuate this jeopard ized and tottery civilization to com ing generations who in the far off ages yet to come will sing peans of praise to the three gentlemen who made this timely discovery, and came to the remarkable rescue of civilized government before she was emphati cally and irretrievably used up, so to speak, or words to that affect. But they are not going to be content with simply preserving to posterity civi lized government but will struggle for an improved article. The last resolution reads : ' That we cherish our great Republic as the hope of man, and under Provi dence, the palladium of christian civi lization," and thereupon they, in conjunction with Dr. Mott, other pious Republicans and the internal revenue machine, trot out Dr. York as a.uorfc of : missionary candi date for Governor, who is to be elected, inVcan, and thus help to shove the boom of this christian civi lization. What a zealous set of mis sionaries these be. After they get through the job they have undertak en, we hope they will take to mis sionary work in earnest and try to spread this christian civilization broadcast over other benighted lands i as well ae ours. - . : " Fraace Caatioas Aboat Efrpt. French minister1, has delivered ad ditional dispatches from his Govern ment to Lord Granville, in which it is . stated that Ahe, contemplated Egyp tian conference cannot be confined altogether to financial matters. The security of bondholders cannot be re duced to defray the expenses of the recent adventurous enterprises which , reused the difficulties that now em banaas the Egyptian treasury de partment. If appropriations are made partially on the ground of present c necessities a precedent will be estab lished which will be certain to result in the renewal of the practice and re curring troubles of a similar charac ter.

House. On motion of Morrison the order for the evening session to night was vacated. The House then, on motion of Lamb, of Indiana, at ll:15 went into committee of the Whole, Cox, of New York, in the cnair, on tne om ameauuig me ui nese immigration act. Henley, of California, spoke in support of the bill which he said was the joint product of the delega tions from California, Oregon, Neva da, Arizona and Washingtoa Terri tory. Never had a measure-received an endorsement more nearly unani mous or more profound in its earnest ness than had this bill received from the Pacific coast. While it might be assailed on the ground that in some way it was hostile to the doctrine of the universal fatherhood of God ard the brotherhood of man, while it might be criticised by those who had not studied its subject matter, there was this fact 'connected with it that try sufficient for an empire came wnn practical uiitxiiimniy anu. uc manded the enactment of this measure. George, of Oregon, supported Hen ley in advocacy of the bill. Rice, of Massachusetts, opposed the bill. It was asserted that the bill was in the interest of labor, that it was demanded by 1,500,000 suffer ing citizens on the Pacific coast and that unless it were passed the Chinese invasion would be complete. He denied that it was demanded by the inhabitants of the Pacific coast. He undertook to say that it added no single barrier whatsoever to the in coming Chinese. It was only clap trap and surplusage from beginning to end. The original act had done its work and anything further was unnecessary. Since its passage, up to January 15th last, 17,000 Chinese had departed from our shores for their homes ami only 3,415 had re turned. Cassidy, Tulley, Brents, Easton and King spoke in favor of the bill and Hitt, Lyman, Pollard, Brown, of Indiana, and Skinner, of New York, against it. Guenther expressed his willingness to welcome to these shores everybody who had come to escape from oppres sion, but not those who tended to degrade American labor. The bill was then read by sections for amendments. Rice, of Massachusetts, offered several amendments, which were voted down. Brumm. of Pennsylvania, offered an amendment applying to the provisions of this bill as far as prac ticable to persons from whatever nation who were imported to this country under any system of con tract. Ruled out on point of order. On motion of Hammond, of Geor gia, an additional section was agreed to, providing that nothing herein contained shall be construed to affect any prosecutions or other proceed ings, civil or criminal, begun under the act of which this is amendatory. Rice moved to amend the bill so as to read, "an act to violate our treaty stipulations with China and other nations." Lost. The committee then rose and the bill was passed ; yeas 184, nays 13. The negative vote was cast by Adams, of Illinois, Brewer, of New York, Brown, of Indiana, Ernhait and Henderson, of Illinois, Hitt, Kean, Lyman, Price, Rice, Skinner, of New York, Smalls and Spooner. The Speaker laid before the House a message from the President recom mending an appropriation of $22,500 to meet proper obligations of the Government for the courteous ser vices of the umpires of the Spanish American Claims Commission. Re ferred. The House then, at 6 o'clock, ad journed. Mistaken. To The Editor of Thb Observer: In your editorial yesterday morn ing, alluding to the nomination of Dr. York (ex-Democrat) by the Re publican and Mongrel conventions at Raleigh, you say that he (York) will f;ec the united support of the Repub iean party. You are certainly mis taken in that opinion. There are many respectable old line white Re publicans who will never support a half-breed politician for Governor. Many of the old-liners, who have fought the battles of the Republican party in this State for the past 18 or 20 years, will not now degrade and stultify themselves by hurrahing and voting for a man who has spent his political life in abusing and denounc ing them. And certainly there are many colored Republicans who will never support a man like Dr. York, who has only recently co-operated with the Republican party for the sake of office. And you are also mistaken in pro posing that there shall be no joint canvass. A joint canvass with Dr. York is just what the Democratic party wants and must have. Such a fine opportunity to expose the objects of a mongrel party-combination should not be lost. The writer feels confident that that is Democratic Sentiment. Appropriations Kecommeaded tor Riy ers and Harbors. Washington, May 3. The House committee on Rivers and Harbors, to day finished the river and harbor appropriation bill, with t he under standing, however, that it may be changed at the final meeting to be held Monday morning. If any change is made, members say, it will be a reduction of some of the more important appropriations. The total of the bill, as completed, is $12,441,000 for the Mississippi from the mouth to Sioux City, $500,000, and $190,000 for removing obstruction from the Ohio from Pittsburg to the mouth,$900,000 ; on Bird Wing for the improvement of the canal at the Falls at Louis ville. There are appropriations for creeks and of appropriations asked for 105 were rejected. In the way of legis lation, a general provision was insert ed to prevent the obstruction of navi gation by bridges. Bask Statement. i t New York, May 3.

Forest fires have been reported burning for sev eral days in the Showanyunk and Catskill Mountains in New York, Blue Mountains in Northern New Jersey, and in several counties in the Pennsylvania coal regions. To-day the fires assumed a serious aspect in all the sections mamed, and in Penn sylvania the loss of property is im mense, and several lives were lost to day. The town of Brisben, Clearfield county, Pa., numbering 250 houses, was totally destroyed, not a house remaining. One old lady was burned to death in her house and many per sons badly burned. Two families, whose houses were burned in Luzerne countv. Pennsylvania, are missing and it is supposed they were burned with their houses. The loss of prop erty in timber, lumber, wood aud buildings is enormous ana spreads over half a dozen counties in Penn sylvania and two or three each in New York and New Jersey. Sheffield's New Boom. The projected city of Sheffield, i Alabama, on the bluffs of the Tennes see river, between Tuscumbia and Florence, is having an additional boom. Besides the railroad now be ing built through the iron and coal fields, connecting Sheffield with Bir -mingham, a new railroad is to be built by English capitalists from Tus caloosa to Sheffield. Letters from every quarter are received daily at the Atlanta office of the Sheffield Land, Iron and Coal Company, ask ing for information, all of which is furnished gratuitously. The sale of lots will begin May 8th, and ample preparation is being made to accom modate the crowd who will attend. The railroads offer special rates. A Narrow Escape from Jndge Lynch. Port Jervis, N. Y., May 3 A re port has been received here that Black Hawk Adams, the negro who eloped with Aiuanda Ayers from Beernerville, was lynched late last night, but it proved untrue. A dis patch just received says he was lodged in jail at Newton, Sussex county. N. J. The officers got him away from the crowd by sharp man agement. When the mob saw him driving off they set up a howl of rage and pursued him with clubs, guns and rope. The officers, however, escaped with the prisoner, and he was taken direct to Newton. An Interesting Tree. Medical Record.

The Line Drawn at Septuagenarian. Cleveland Leader. "I don't think a septuagenarian is the proper man to elect President," said a Republican. "Who are you talking about ?" asked a Democrat. "Why, Tilden, of course." "Now, look, a-hero, " said the Democrat, ' 'you Republicans are always getting up stories about Tilden. It's a shame. No, sir, you can't stuff that down me. Mr. Tilden, sir, is not that kind of a man." A Fearful Explosion Five Men Killed and Two Fatally Injnred. Watertown, N. Y., May 3. The boiler of the Whitney marble works at Gouverneur, St. Lawrence county, exploded this forenoon killing five men instantly and fatally injuring two others.
