WASHINGTON LETTER. A Bunch of Live News From Our Correspondent at the National Capital. Washing, D. C, March 23. The chances are that when this is read both the treaties will hare been rat ified, for which purpose the Senate was convened in extra session. There never was much opposition to the rat ification of the Panama Canal treaty on the part of the Demociats, pro vided they could get certain amend' men ts added to it that would give this government absolute control of the canal. The Democrats haye not got all they want in the treaty, but it has been modified somewhat, and as both parties are committed to canal of some kind and somewhere, it probably will go through. There is doubt expressed here, however, that the canal ever will be built. There has been no denying the stren uous opposition to any canal by the transcontinental railroads of the country, and it is the freely express ed belief here that those roads will find some way to circumvent the building of the canal. It will be interesting to watch the work of the railroads after the ratification of the canal treaty. Ko far as the Unban reciprocity treaty is concerned, the Democrats have won a signal victory over tho Republicans. As said in a former letter, it was the intention of the Democrats to talk the treaty to death unices they could get all they con' tended for, and when the Republi cans saw them line up as one uian under the able leadership of Hon Arthur Pue Gorman, they capitulat ed and came down like tcott s coon, It is the first time in years that the democrats in the Senate have pre sented an unbroken front to the tie' publicans. When they have done so in the past they invariably have won a victory. 'Die trouble has been that in the recent past they have had no leadership in the Senate worthy the name. I hey have it now, and the results are apparent to the most cas ual observer. The Democrats said to the Republicans that they must add an amendment to the (juban re ciprocity treaty that would give the House of Hepresentatives tho right to also pass upon it before it became operative, because it was legislation that affected the revenue of the gov ernment and that all such legislation must have the concurrent sanction of the House of Representative, or else it would not be constitutional legis tion. It would be practically elimi nating the House as one of tne legis lative branches of the government and legislation by the Senate exclu sively. It will lie remembered that tho House at the first session of the 57th Congress passed a law giving this reduction in the rates of the Dingley law that is asked for, but it also tacked on to it a clause that eliminated the differential on refined sugar, which would save tho consum ers of this country millions of dollars annually that now go into the pock ets of the sugar trust. For that very reason the henute refused to consider the measure and let it die. It now comes to the front with the treaty, eivine the same reduction in the Dingley rates, but it does not re move the differential or rehned sugar, which gives the consumer in this country a chance, and clearly is an attempt to play in the hands of the sugar trust. The Republicans have been forced to agree to the amendment to allow the House to pass on the treaty when it meets next winter. If they had'not agreed to it they would not have cot away from here all sum mer, or olse would have been forced to abandon the treaty altogether. The net result of this Democratic victory will be that the House next winter will either add the amend ment again, eliminating the differ ential on refined sugar, or if it pass es the House as sent to it by the Sen ate, then the Democrats in the Sen ate will 0en up the tariff debate in its entirety and consume the wnoie session in speeches that will be made in open session and will go to tne country as Democratic cainpaien documents. -In either event the trusts will got it in the neck and the people willw benefited. Score one for Democrats. A nu'mbcr of the leaders of the Democratic party who still are in Washineton are to-day discussing the letter of Mr. William Randolph Hearst to the Iionuois Club of Chi cago, and which appeared to-day in the daily papers, it is a letter ex pressing his regret at his inability to tie present at their annual bannuet to do reverence to the memory of An drew Jackson, and in it he breathes forth the very spirit and essence of trne Democracy. It is a messace ' of optimism and hope to the trne Demo crats of tne whole conntry, aim in every way is snch an able paper that it has cangh the attention of the leaders of the party here, who men tion it in the most complimentary way. There are a few persons who, not' knowing Mr. Hearst, actually think that because be has money he does not work himself, and that the articles signed by himself, are writ ten by some of the bright ment in his employ. There never was a arreater mistake made by them. The writer knows Mr. uearsi personally, and knows that he is an abler man than any man in his employ, and does more actual work than any of them. It wonld seem as though the trusts rather than the government of the United States, were shaping our nolicv in the Philippine Islands. Despite all tbe appeals made by the President and Governor Taf t, Con gress did nothing toward relieving the economic distress prevailing in tnose islands. It passed neither cur rencv nor tariff legislation of the kind asked for by tiie commercial classes of the islands. It has pre ferred to obey tho wishes of the tobacco and sugar trusts rather than comply with those of tho suffering millions of people. This Republi can Uongicss has been guilty of gross negligence of duty by not passing legislation in the interest of the peo ple of those islands. They are com pelled to rely on our good will and charity, and have tho right to de mand help of some kiud from us. By thus refuting to do anything for the Filipinos this Republican Con gress has put a premium on disorder and insurrection, and it would not be at all surprising if the American army in the Philippines finds itself, before long, busier than it has been for some time. Tho policy of im perialism is bringing its own reward. It is believed here, by the people who ought to know, that the recent visit to this capital .by J. Pieipont ,i i,r. .ii i, irUoi dent means an extra session of the 58th Congress and that it will be called sometime early in tho month of September. It is believed that Mr. Morgan said to the President that ho aud the money kings of wall street could not stave off a panic longer than September unless there was legislation that would relieve them: In other word, they want the Aldrich bill passed, so that the money now in the Treasury can be placed in the banks of Wall street and relieve the pressure on them. Thus is this administration not only run by the Wall street gang, but it approves (a policy that takes the money out of the people's pockets and places it in -tho bunks of the country, so that, they can loan it back to tho people and make a profit out of I hem. The remedy is in the hands of the people. UliAllLiSS A JSDWAKDS. Items From Sifer Gty Messenger. Mr A J Bean, sf Star, has pur chased of Mr J Rankin Parks his rollar Mill property here.

At Druggists. HON. JAMES R. BULLA. Born in Randolph County and Read Law While Teach' ing School Tho greatest study of mankind is man and a very interesting study is the lion. Jan. liiilliu Jin 1 In, of Inn ity. Possessed of extraordinary natural endowments, he is a pro found scholar, a pure, logical reason er, 'and the characteristics united with' his seventy-seven years of life and forty years of busy legal practice, give to him in his old age u power to which but few attain. Mr. Bulla was born in Hack Creek township, five miles from Aslielioro, in the year 1825. Ho was of a family of brothers and sisters of which lie is the only surviving mem ber. Bolivar Bulla, one of his brothers, was for many years a promt ncut citizen of liandolph county where the liullas are yet numerous and among the very best people ills grandfather, 1 nomas ISulla, came from Kugland to America in 1030 and a brother who accompanied him settled in Pennsylvania while he, himself, drifted South and linnllv located in piedmont North Cajolimt. The Bulla family of England, of which this is branch, is well known at the present tune. in Air. liullas youth, school were scarce and though he made extra effort to secure instruction, all ho received was two years in a free- school, one nt Aslielioro Academy Ei-ltcpresciilativc H. 11. Haves, of 1 ittsboro, who was manager of Senator Overman's Senatorial Campaign iu the recent content buforethe Legislature. and two at Trinity College, which he left iu 1X51. In 1853 he was mar ried to Miss Sophia Lorn, who hail visited in Randolph and came from a prominent family of New Jersey. Lntil he was 23 years ol age, ho never left the county in which he has born, lie taught school for four years, during which time he studied law and iu 157 he was licensed to practice and located in Asheboro. Ho remained there ten years. Inlc tueie Ins family and the family of Judge Tourgee' were neighbors and very friendly and are yet friends even though parted by the Atlantic Ucean. ' He was elected county solicitor in 1809 and held tins position until 18(!8, when he becaiu solicitor of the old judicial district, of which Albion W. Tourgee was judge. During the four years m this olnce, ho was nlso a member of the county school board and a captain of the home guard. ills military duties consisted in huuting deserters, and he relates many numerous tales of his experi ences while acting iu that capacity. Inlouilhe was counsel for Hie Moore county commissioners iu a case which was carried to the United States Supremo Court. The case was entitled "Worthy vs. Loiniins- sioners" nnd grew out of the inability of sheriff-elect Worthy to take the iron-clad oath. Mr Bulla received a fee of five hundred dollars for his services arid he yet tells of the big time he had while in Washington. Hon. J. R. Bluir, Ex-State Senator, of Trov, aud member of the State- "Democratic Executive Committee. He dined with President Grant, at tended State receptions and was treated royally. lie tells that he rode around there in four horse car riage for three weeks and then had to walk home. Moving to Grecnelioro iu 18S0, he remained there only fouryeais, whon he went to Lexington. There for many years he was engaged in his profession in partnership with his son, George M. Bulla, who died in 1893. His second daughter, Miss Buttie Bulla, died in 1887. In 1894 he was paralyzed on his jight side and has never regained the use of his right limbs but other thus this, lie is in full possession of his normal faculties. Shortly after he recovered from the worst of thi paralytic stroke, he and his wife went 'to Trinity where they have since made their home with their daughter, Mrs. Nanni A. Crayen, Mr. and Mrs. Bulla hive seven pram grandsons: Prof. Harvey B. Craven, ot Ui'eenslioro; Sir. hrle H. Craven, of Lexington; Rev. James B. Craven, of Cooleeiuee; Mr. Bruce Craven, of Charlotte; Mr. George B. Craven, of Trinity, nnd llolmrt and George Bulla, the orphan children of George M. isulln, who live with their mother's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B, Keen, of Thoiuusville. Mr. Bulla always possessed a hu morous nature; ho was and is full of that sympathy and kindness of heart that breaks forth in spontaneous mirth. Onco a reprobate walked in to Ins ollicc and said, "Mr. Hull.!, they tell me yesterday when I was on the witness stand you picked up yotir hat and left ami said that what I was tolling was not exactly tho truth." The lawyer understood at once that his visitor had come for an apology though he was too timid to say so, but it happened that nollimg ot the kind had been said so he replied "No, Jake, I did not say that." "Well, I knew it wasn't so when I heard it but I just thought I would mention it to you," replied Jake as he started to leave. "No, 1 didn't say it," repeated Mr. Bulk "though it is a wonder I didn't for I knew everything you said was noth ing more nor less than a pack of lies." At another time a lawyer who was on the opposing side to Mr. Bulla asked to have 4 certain case postponed on account of the "sud den sickness of a principal witness. 'ery well, wild Mr. Bulla, "1 con sent to have it postponed until to morrow." "Oh to-morrow will do no good," said the other lawyer; "I want it postponed until the noxt court." And then Mr. Bulla con vulsed the court with laughter by rising and saying very gravely, "Court will not adjourn for a week ret. Don t you think that is sulh- cient time for the witness to get sober?" While prosecuting u capital case, tho lawyer for the defense secured two ignorant negroes on the jury and then whispered to the solicitor "I've 'ot you now, Kulla, those niggers will never vote to hung unvbodv." Got nothing," was the reply, "thev ill vote to hang him just to have a big clay." The jury remained out several hours and then reported that they could not agree because the two negroes were solid for hanging and the ten white men were eiuallv determined for nciuitul. In his practice at the liar, he prose cuted twiiity-fn-ir men for capital offenses nnd sixteen of thuni were hanged, lie defended eight men iu ruiital cases and only two of them were linnged. lie n'us alivnyo utid in yet strongly opposed to capital punishment but did his duty us solicitor, because he thought tho law was weightier than his own porsouul ipinion. While addressing a jury n Guilford iu a case against Pill Parker, he said the defendant ought to be hung on general principles, md the jury agreed with him. On lie other hand lie never telt any oiupunction of conscience in defend ing a guilty man because, us he says. ic law allows the accused to delend himself and he considered theprison ner eutitled to representation in ourt. After his term us solicitor xpired, u judge once appointed him defend a vile and guilty wretch nd Mr. liulla humbly begged to be xciiscd. His honor stuck to his opinion however somewhat to the lispleasure ot the law ver who gave fair warning that if he undertook to defend the man, he should defend him to the last ditch. No one ex pected the case ever to go to the jurv hut -Mr. nulla kept it up through wo or three courts and was in a fair way 'to have Ins client acquitted when Wheeler's cavalry came along and released him of his disagreeable luty, at the same tune relieving the prisoner ol all the cans and tiiiiuia- tioiis ol this wot id.

While living in High Point, Mr Bulla was engaged iu doing some collecting for a Northern firm and in reply to an inquiry from them, wrote a letter that has been copied all over the United States and in some English papers and it is worth nil the notice that has been given it. Here it is: High Point, N. C, Aug. 27, 1877. John Smith & Co., Philadelphia, Pa.: Gentlemen: iteplying to yours of the 18th inst., I have to say thut for the prospect of having claims placed n my hands to collect and nothing more, I do not feel willing to report the standing of the party mentioned or of any one else. I do not want to be misunderstood us saving I do not want paying business, but I do know that a lawyer would starve as quick on commissions us he would on corn cob soup iu January. 1 have had some experience in col lecting since tho war, or rather trying to collect. I have offered to compromise claims by taking old Hies, frozen cabbage, circus tickets, patent medicine, whet stones, powder horns, old flour barrels, gourds, coon skins, jaybirds, owls or almost anything: unit yet 1 have u number of the old claims on bund unsettled. If 1 were to depend on collecting for a living, mvbean broth would rattle in me like pot liquor in a poor dog. I don't want to shoot at long range but if yon are inclined to pay anything certain for the reports, I'm your man say ten dollars cush and then I'm iu; or if money is scarce 1 would fake shoes, large numbers, sav 10's, 1 l's, and 12's to the amount of ten dollars ut w hole sale prices. it s hard times here; the niggers aud the Dctnocruts have polled and worried each other until this whole country smells like cheese. How in the world would you exH-ct to collect money out of a people who plow speckled bulls on hillsides? If you were to see a nigger plowing his orilen with a sow. von would not wonder why I don't want clnims to olivet in this vicinity. Your sincere friend, J. R. BULLA. Advice to Boys. Idleness is the devil's own work shop, and especially is his true of boys. We never feel sorry for the boy who has to work, even if it be to help make a living for himself and fninilv: hut we do nitv the Ikiv who has nothing to do ami whose parents are able to keep him from having to labor. The bov who may work mid get only n stipend of a dollar, or even s, a week is learning habits of in dustry. It is from tiie boys who be gin .-arly the lit? of industry that conic the successful men of the na- ion. The Imiv who waits until he is grown, or until he uepuires un cdu- ation, before ne begin to labor or earn a profession is apt to start iu ife handicapped and outstripped by lis seemingly less fortunate com- etitor who started in ahead ot him. t pav a bov better in the long run to work for twe.ity-live cents a week and learn a trade with habits of ap plication to business, than to do nothing and be supported at the ex pense of his parents. Boys do some thing. Gazette." How can it be expected that jus tice will ever oe done when lawyers can be found wiio will move heaven nnd earth to acijiiit such brutal mur derer? as Hisho'i and Haywood:1 It is due every accused man that be have an opportunity to defend him self to the utmost and to establish his innocence .f lwssible; but when a lawyer for a consideration moves heaven and ea.'l'a to clear a guilty man, he is no oetter than the crimi nal and is as much of an enemy to society and good government. No amount of reasoning, no custom and no code of ctiiics can change this fact. Lawyers can be found in this State who will foi money undertake to free a lecherous scoundrel who they know has committed a brutal murder or despoiled a home. The more flagrant the crime, and the more certain the gu.lt, the harder these lawyers will work to turn the wretch loose acaiu to continue his diabolical work.
