In conversation with our towns
man, Cant. II. C. France, cue of the

the ie;nt crop and of our market.
Capt. F. says that the quality of
tobacco now coming in is lar supe
rior to thai offered previous to the
holidays. This is shown in the
excellent prices now being given.
He is satisfied from what ha has
seen and ascertained that the crop,
specially of good if bacco, will be
much shorter this season tnan was
anticipated sooae months ago. He
gratified by saying that the
priced on this market were much
batter, on an average, than any
other uinrket in this or all the
States could show. The planters
are sending in freely now, but the
demand keeps ahead of the supply.

TnK Chattanooga Convention Retfen
of Mr. Gwts.
Mr. W. B. Gwyn who represented
Asheville and North Carolina in the late
rate convention at Chattanooga, return ;d
io the city yesterday, with high hopes ol
great results for the South.
The convention proceeded one step
further than the accomplishment of the
avowed objects tor which that body was
called together, in the permanent
organization of the Southern Iromigra
t onanddevelopmentsociety, in organiza
tion wmcn aims at achievements as
broad and great as its name implies.
Thi body meets at Augusta the sec
ond Tuesday of October next.
lhe convention appointed a committee
of seven, being one delegate from each
of the States represented, to meet at
Atlanta the 17th init..in order to lay be
fore the association of passenger agents
to meet there at that tim, the subject of
a low rate of fares tor a given period to
all points in the South. It depends upon
North Giro ina herself as to whether she
will be lefc behind in the harvest of
results to accure from the action ot this
convention and this committee. The
people of Tennessee, Alar.ama and
Georgia are wide awake and moving to
help themselves. They are willing to
join bandi with the people of other sec
tions, provided they will s jow an energy
and determination commensurate with
theirs, to work for the common weal.
But they do not wait for other sections
or other States.
We hope North Carolina will keep
abreast of the times. Western North
Carolina and Asheyille in particular,
m&v be counted on. Mr. Gwyn express
ed himself as nighly pleased with tho
personnel ot tie convention, the push,
pluck and enterprise of Chattanooan',
and th cordial and assiduos attentions
extended to the visitors and delegates.
Now, let on r watchword be, up and
doing. Would it not be well for .Mr.
Gwyn and Mr. Kepler to call . meating
of all citizens interested at an i-arly date
to consider and take such atcus as may
be expedient to further the efforts to at
tract capital and population to Ashe

Congress.
Washington, Jan. 11. Senate:
Mr. Saulsbury introduced -i joint!
reso'ution declaring that no further
effort cm properly be made by the
United States to obtain the co-operation
of the European governments
in establishing a common ratio of
value.i between silver and gold, us
money. L:iid on the tub's.
.Bilis an 1 resolutions were intro
duced and referred :
By Mr. Manderson to increase all
invalid pensions to SS. per month.
A statement accompanying the bill
says it will increase the pensions of
146,3S3 persons now carried on the
pension roils, and will increase the
annual pension payments bv SG,-853,.,5-2.
The resolution offered by Mr
Hale, on the 12th of December, for
a select committee to examine fully
into the present condition of the
civil service, was taken up, and Mr.
Ilaie addressed the Senate in expla
nation and advoc.icy of it.
He declared that his object in of
fering it was to secure an investiga
tion with the sincere purpose of
bringing before Congress the present
actual condition of the civil service
of the contry, and als the perform
ances of certain high and low ofli
cials of the government.
Mr. Halo charged President
Cleveland with insincerity in his
public utterauees in favor of civil
service reform and. accused him of
having violated all his pe.sonal
pledges and those embodied in his
party's platform upon this subject
He quoted Iron: a taole published
last June, showing sweeping changes
that had already taken place in all
the departments of the public ser
vice among oflicials subject to exec
utive action and said he hoped to
have in a few days further a table
showing how tiiisconquering march
of the democratic party in pursuit of
ofiice has continued down to the
beginning of this year. This show
ing, he said, is unexampled in any
other administration in American
Irstory.
Mr. Hale criticised the President's
letters written during the recent uo
litical campaign in New York city ;
that to Edward Cooper in which he
said the newspaper clippings which
had been sent him by Cooper did
not amount to enough to mise a
doubt of his desire for the success
ol both the city and State tickets of
the united democracy, and that
read at the democratic ratification
meeting regretting his (Cleveland's)
inability to be present, and express
inj hopti that every candidate on
the excellent ticket of the united
democracy might be triumphantly
elected. Passing on to the subject
of political assessments, Mr. Hale
quoted from the Washington Post,
(which he spoke of as an organ of
the administration,,) i t the hrst ot
November last in reg tr.1 to the col
leolinn in t;'S Washington Republi
can describing how the as.-esnr nts
for that campaign were b- ing ievied

side being vacant during its delivery,
which occupied about two houis

Mr. Gray, of Delaware, obtained
the floor for a speech on the same
measure, hut gave way to Mr. But
ler for a motion to a Ijourn, which
was carried at 3;4-" p. m. The ad
journment without executive ses
sion was due to the determination
of some enators to insist upon the
consideration of Lamar's nomina
tions in advance of those ol Vilas
and Dickinson, and the consequent
prospect of a somewhat prolonged
ountest. which none were anx
ious to enter upon so late in the af

Fire in Chicago.
Chicago, January n. The fire
on Madison street proyed very de-.
strtict'ue. The firms burned out on
the first floor were T. II. Griffith 0
Co., importers ot tailors' 1 1 i;miings;
the Nonantum Worsted Company,
Xanatuck Silk Company, and Corti
celli Spool Silk Company. An as
sistant fire marshal 'places the; loss
on the otiildiiifrl.iiioo!i5nrs at $175,
oco The total loss by the fire will
reach $200,000. The night was in
tensely cold. The firemen were
greatly hampered by the heavy
coatings of ice which rendered their
movements slow, and it seemed al
met hours before they fairly began
to work. The high wind prevailing
prevented the solid streams of water
from reaching above-the second floor
and this had considerable to do with
the spread of the flames upon the
upper floor After two hours hard
fighting, however, the flames were
considered under control.
Several of the firemen were com
pletely overcome by the dreadful
exposure and were carried into the
Gault House to be thawed out.
Their garments were covered with
ice several inches in thickness and
were so thick and clumsy as to ren
der movement well nigh impossible.
