A fatal disease called black diphtheria is about to depopulate Clay and adjoin ine counties in Arkansas. Fifty deaths hav occurred in one week, and tuc dis ease is rapidly spreading. The Salisbury Watchman says : "A bird dosr was sold here last week for 375 cash. This is the dogpedest transaction that ever occurred in this community." Wonder if that purchaser could spare money to pay the subscription to his newspaper? At a meeting of the directors of the Richmond & West Point Terminal Com pany, Mr. Sully was re-elected President, and Mr. John Innsn President of the M'Jaond Sc Danville R. R. Co. It is drirrmineil to keep the administration f the two roads separate.

The old house on Patton Avenue, opposite the Grand Central Block, is be- inj; torn down by Mr. Graham, the owner of the property. So far as we know it was cne of the old settlers" of the place; but it has lived its day and must give wav to building more in keeping with the progress and requirements of Ashe- ville. Ketfrned. Mr. A. B. Sams, once connected with this office, and who left here some months ag3 with the expectation of going to Ireland to investigate an interesting family history has returned. On reachi ng isew lork, upor consultation with his lawyer, it was dsemsd unnecessary for him to go; and after spending soma ime in that city, and vuitine Canada. Nova Scotia, and Mhor distant points, he has returned to his old home. He will probably go to Washington City from here. Fihe Two Houses Evened. Yesterday evening about dark the fire- alarm was sounded, and it was discoY-er- ed that the stable on the Wei. Johnston lot, corner of Patton Aver, :o and Church Ktreets, w as under full blaz . Being very combustible it burned 'apidly. The stable was used iu iart by Mr. Wiikie, the occupant of the propeitv. for a cow- stall, the other portion being used bv George Greenlee for his two horses. Ths fire burned so rapidly that the two horses were bnrned up. By the lime the fire department reached the place the build ing was too far gone to be saved. No one can account for the manner in which the fare was started. The bov who put up the horses an hour before the fire was discovered says he had no firo whatever with him. We are certaiiuv sorry for the poor animals and their owner. A Bear Hunt with a Solemn Finale. The French Broad hunters do not often go after bear "without bringing back trophies of their skill. Luck sometimes fails, as it did recently with some of the boys who bad been reading up some of our accounts of bear hunts in different parts of the State, when a dozen or more were bagged in a week s hunt. They were resolved to beat the record, and with great Catherine up of noted does. and full supplies of provision and camp equipage, stmc t off for the wilder ness ol the tSiack Mountains, lney had a week cf it. Dav after dav they scram- blec' through laurel thickets, and climb ed and crossed many a rusged ridge. Nig'it after night they came bacx dis appointed and dispirited. Nary bear did they get the trail of; and at the end of the week, picked np for home, bring ing back with them as their only trophy a solitary screech owl which one of the party shot in exasperation at the demoniac laughter ot the nizht bird which grated on the hunters' ears as it in derision of their want cf success as baer hunters.

Our telegraphic dispatches a day or two since mentioned that an eld farmer in a county in Maise who kept his money at home was as saulted the other night and robbed of $32,000. Had this old gentleman put his money in the nearest h:ink or banks both it and himself would have been safe, and it would haye done hie community a benefit by its use. A lajge number of such rob beries occur throughout tho country, and it is not best for a man to keep his money in hishi,use where it can be subjected lo the depredations of thieves or the dangers ot fire. There are a large number of thousands of dollars in the hands of farmers of Budcombe, Madison and other sur rounding counties. It would be far safer for this money to be deposited in the banks far safe kseping. The man who deposits can draw it out at his pleasure, in such sumj as he might wish, by giving a check on the bank in which it is deposited. The banks of Asheville are unusu ally well managed and perfectly re liable, and the depositor could al ways find big money when hecalled or sent for it. ThiB will be sale for the depositor, aud be of great bene fit to the banks by keeping the money in circulation. We call the attention of our country friends to the importance of this matter. We would greatly regret to publish that one or more of our farmer friends that suffered the misfortune of be., ing robbed of the results of their labor. And all who keep money in their homes are liable lo such accident.- Especial Attention Is invited to the large array of popular remedies to be found at Pelham's Phar macy, near the poBt office.

We had a visit yesterday from Dr. Scruggs, at present agent at the station at tho town of tho above name, founded by the late Dr. Whittier with the expecta tion of building up a model town and settlement. Dr. Whittier died when his plans were ouly partly' developed; and with the loss of its head, the enterprize was threatened with paralysis. But though some plans have been abandon ed by the heirs and representatives of the lounder of Whittier, the town goes o'n to liv? and prosper. ; Tobacco culture was largely undertaken on the property. The soil suits it well, and the industry prospers. Dr. Seruggs'tells us up to the present he has shipped this season 29,640 pounds of tobacco, besides many car loads of lumber, and ais of granite. Of this latter article there are two quarries near tiio to-n. of line qua-iiy. much of which has !en s-nt ti Waynes ville for flaggiiig and curbing; ani it is now being rent to Ashc'ili'' fir door nii'.s lintels, &: The Exodi's to California.

IhiLjall these roads es'imatsd they would transport GO ,000 people across the continent, and placed agencies at several central points to arrange for them. To show how verv great the cur rent has become, the agent at Boston, for the -New Lngland States, has alraady sold tickets to persons leaving that saction alone, to the amount of 7oKX). This of course leaves out of the calculation all tickets sold at snd from New York to Omaha. It is now estimated that at least 200,000 people will go to California this winter. All cairy more or leas money. Outside of capital carried for investment the amount thus carried to that State must reach from $75 000.000 to $100,000,000. And all through thorough and energetic advertising. The South is richer in natural and valuable resources and attractions All that in necessary to divert a large portion of this travel and population to our section is to thorough ly, persistently, and energetically adver tise these resources, by printed matter and traveling agejits. Suppose we could induce 20,000 good people to come to Western Carolina, bringing even $500 each; this would amount to $ 10,000,000 caxh besides untold millions in industry. Let our people wake up. and let all unite and work. Let us get some of the mil lions in the North now idle, and some of the thousands of good citizens who wisl to better their condition. LahVs.

Senate : A letter from (he SrcreUry ot the Interior was laid before the Senate stating that an .ippropriation of 77,495 dollars is 1 quired to com plete the publica un of the final re port of j the census of 18S0, four of the 22 volumes being still imprinted. Laid on the table, after the pre sentations of various other commu nicaiions from the hands of depart ment., and court of claims, Mr. Cul loin icmsrVed that thij rule was when bills are introduced before the committees are appointed, to have such bills laid on the table and that, created unnecessary work. He, therefore, moved that the Senate ad journ. But he withdrew the motion tempraraly to permit Mr. Plumb to offer a resolution calling on the Commissioner of Agriculture for in formation as to whether any per son in tne employment 1 that ue parttnent who was making experi ments as to the manufacture of sugar from sorghum had obtained or applied for a patent or patents connected with such manufacture, and growing out of such expeii merit? The resolutions were ad- doptod- Mr. Furwell asked his col league to withdraw the motion so as to allow him to introduce a bill to perpetuate the National Bank system. Cullom declined, stating that he made the motion because he understooi it to be the custom of Senate not to receive hi!! until after the appointment of committees. Mr. Harris thought there was great wis dom in the position taken by the Senator (Cullom) If the door were thrown open, he would insist that there ehould bo no restrictions on the right. He hoped the motion would prevail. Farwell, thsrson, withdrew his request and the mo tion was agreed to. Tne Senate at 12:20 adjourned. Maetiug- of the Virginia Legislature. (By telecraph to the Aehetil'e Cit'z.n!) Richmond, Dec. 7. The General Assembly of Virginia met to-day at noon. Both Houses organized by the election of officers in each body as selected by tho Democratic cau cus. A joint committee waited on Gov. Lee, and informed him that the Legislature was ready to receive any communication he mignt wish to make. The Governor thereupon sent to both Houes a message in writing which was read. The mes sage contains many important items and recommendations relative to stale matters. In regard to the public debt the Governer says: "In view of the recent decision by the U. S. Supreme Court declaring the act of May 12. 1887, constitutional and valid, and reversing the decis ion of the U. S. Circuit judge Bond in regard to the eleventh article of the Federal Constitution, he recom mends the passageof a resolution sus pending legal proceedings against those who have tendered coupons iu payment of taxes, as he was as sured by attorney that such action would decidedly bent fit all par ties concerned. He thought when the bond holders considered this decision, they will be willing to ac cept such otter as the otate can make, based upon the surplus rev nues to be applied to the payment oi intereet on (lie principal ot wba the State considers her iust debt.

That the tirsurnent made by the President for ti e removal of our protection against iore'gn competi tion is an old nit', repeatedly made by the enemies of our maiMr: ; progress, and is rffeclually answered in nearly tvery school'district of our land; and so thorouurhlv dis proved by the logic ot t'autH and (lemongtrtHion of experience and history as to need no answer f'rom Y 1 ,1 . us. u e aconowieoire that our '.small holdings, our scattered and unorganized condition makes u.-; the easy prey ot thetree traier, but we naa a riiiiit to expect something different from jhief tilt Executive ot the Nati n at once the moBt happy, prosperous and contented or ;;ny of the world. made so by the policy of protectian and development, which ne now seeks to destroy. e had a right to expect our President would favor the wool growers of the lT. S. and confess our deep disappointments that instead, be favored the interests of our foreign competitors. Justly alarmed at his position. vu make an appeal from his recommenda tions u all people to seven and three-fourtns millions cf our follow citizens engaged in agriculture to tho millions engaged in manut'ac luring; 10 me army oi wage wnose wages are maintained by the pro tective system; to the tradesmen and merchants whose prosperity depends u; on ours, confident that their judcrmeii' and decision will be batd upon justice aud p..'riotism and therefore Jor '.lie maii.ternnce ofthe American policy o! protec tion to which the couiilrj' is indebt ed foi its unexampled development and prosperity. To demonstrate the injustice ofthe President'sjpolicy and fallacy of the remedy he propos es for the reduction of surplus, we point to the fact that it the whole mount ol th revenue derived iVoin wool was abolished it would reduce the surplus onlv about rive i.'illio:i or less; that 10 cents per c.ipita of tht- proportion on Iv is pai l bv toivignerd v.'hiie the old war t.ixc-s he recommended retained vield over one hundred anil iii:itecn million?", and is a di- rei-t t:tx per captia yl two dollars eaoh, an i is what makes up tne !;U bulk ofthe surplus oi one liindriti and fotly millions, and which louers tin; most dangerous monopoly.

The annual rev enue directed iro;n imporiK o: wool under tariff of '07 was "less than Sl,- 700,000 under the reduced tariff of 1883. Reyeuud last yrar was over S5,000,000 The number of shep m the country ni 1883 was 0O.O-0.-26G, in 1S87, 44,75t),314,. dt-creas-s of nearly six million--', and a diminu tion or the annual wo 1 product ol oyer 00 million 'pound.-', tnus snow ing that re lucing the tariff by the act of 1883 has increased the reve nue from imported wools and di minished uumber of sheep in the United States about 12 t erceu', and the annual product in the same proportion. The President's policy would bring about the destruction of this industry, and the same pol icy of reduction or abolition of the tariff would end Jin disaster to all other industrial productive enter prises of the countiy.
