On the docket of the Federal court which will convene in this city on the first Monday in May next, theie are two hundred and seventy-eight cases. The majority 1 of these indictments are of a trivial nature eonsiaUog of retailing, etcy and ovjly a lew are t a more-serious nature! - A Beautiful tiiGU. Mr. Sault, who recently came to Asheville for his health, has been putting iu some spare moments in doing some very fine sign painting. One of tbe neatest and most attrac tive signs we have seen just erected f r Messrs. P.-nniman & Co. It is certainly ornamental, and shows Mr. Sault to be a painter of fine taste and ability. Horse Sense. Extract from one of Rev. Mr. Pearson's discourses at Newbern: It is all bosh to talk about a dis- honest man entering the kingdom of God. White-washed sinners, sometimes called pillars of the church, who would not pay their debts or restore to their fellow men that which they had wronged them of, were not prepared to meet their Gou and never would be until they had made restitution. Col. Frank Coxe For 'Congress. The Rutherfordton Banner says : "It is reported and generally be lieved that Mr. Richmond Pearson will be the next Republican candi date for Congress from this district in the coming election. In that event it will bs necessary for the Democracy to put up a popular and well knowa man, and who can carry the district by a good majority. We have no idea that Col. Frank Coxe is an aspirant for Congressional or any other official honors, but if be can be induced to make the race, he can and will be elected. Let the office seek the man this time, and all will be well." From the Beautiful Nantahala. From the Welch (Graham county) Advance we learn: Welch is soon to have a furniture establishment. Business is improving in all branches. Our people are begin ning to move with a spirit of ambi tion and enterprise. They seem to has lost eight of the "hard times" song, and now talk business in every direction. Buy a lot in Welch, the future city of the hills, and go into busi ness right. There is a good opening tor nearly any branch of industry. Land is now remarkably cheap. A good town lot can now be bought for the small sum of ten dollars, and good farming land can now be had at $1 to $5 per acre. A Matter for the People. Mr. J. L. G. Charlton, general pas senger agent of the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, and a member oi the Southern Tariff Association, writes a letter to a gentleman in South Car olina, relative to the rates fixed for Northern people to come South, in which he well suggests; "Concerted action on the part of the people of the section desiring to attract is necessary, however, and I wish to say to you that it does not strike me that the people of tbe South have taken hold of the matter so far in anything like the spirit that it has been taken bold of by the people of Arkansas, Texas, Lou isiana, Kansas and the other West em States. Stimulate your own people, and you may rest assured the railroads will give you every fa cility within their power to assist in the movement.'1 v v '-" Our people must go to work.

The New rork correspondent to the Richmond Dispatch undertook several days ago to give the marriage-fees, the income and the wealth of Dr, Hall. As an item of news we republished it. .; Dr. Hall is one of the most prom inent figures in the American church not only by reason of his learning and his wisdom but also because he ministers to the Fifth Avenue church of New York, which is perhaps the wealthiest con gregation on the continant and which occupies a most handsome and costly edifice. For this reason- Dr. Hall is expos ed to all statements concerning his own resources. The above state ment is not new as it went the rounds several years ago. We are now prepared to say that Dr. Hall's salary is $15,000 tnd a house to live in, and that his re ceipts from . marriage-fees str.ee September in stead oibeinpJ?3o,ooo as asserted didnot reach three hun dred dollars. Our readers must iudgre for them selves how far the facts justify the assection that ' Dr. Hall's income is $100,000 per year. Meeting of the Board of Mis sions. In pursuance ot a call of Rev. James Atkins, President of the Conference Board of Missions, the Board met at the office of the Hols ton Methodist, Knoxville, February 15, 1SS8. The meeting was one of more than ordinary interest. It was decided amongother things to adopt for the Holston Confer ence the first week in April as the week of belfdental and Priyer, it being the week designated by the Parent Board.

Lightning struck a man in Florida the other day while he Was lying in bed. His last words were : "Please don't hit me again, Marier; I'll mind." Bishop Ltman's Return. The Charlotte Chronicle of Tues day says: Bishop Lyman passed through Charlotte last evening on the return to his home in Raleigh, from a visit to California. He was met at the depot here by a party of friends. The people generally will be delight ed to know that Bishop Lyman's health has greatly improved. Compromised. The man, Milne, to whom we refer red yesterday was relsased from cus tody yesterday morning under the following circumstances: It seems that a few days ago, a party in Sa luda entrusted him with some money to pay a debt to another party. Milne failed to pay over the money, but claimed that he had done so. He then skipped out and a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was arrested in this city as stated in yesterday's pa per, and Constable Robertson came on to this city for his prisoner. On arriving here the officer sought Milne and started to take him back to Salu da fr trial when the prisoner paid over the money and all the costs in the action, and was released from custody. Do We Ola; onr Graven with oar TcelfaT Some say we do; others again act as if Uiey thought so. .However, this may be, iCis a truth that many people contribute U their early decline by marked imp.ud Qncea, One of these is clearly shown to day by: hundreds who disregard the laws oi health and expose themselves to the vigors of winter without due regard to its consequences. What fere these, yon ask? Tbe death roll will tell you. The answer is Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Croup, Whoop ing Cough, Colds and Asthma, and the severer pulmonary troubles usually can be traced to these ex posures. This should be avoided, and can be somewhat, by the timely use of Pelham's Pectoral Syrup, at Zo cents a bottle, ibis byrup is en dorsed by everybody throughout New berry and surrounding counties, and in north Carolina. 2o cents for remains Pectoral Syrnp.

Washington. March 1. Senate: The resolution reported yesterday by Mr. Sherman from the commit tea on foreign relations, requesting the President to negotiate a treaty with the Emperor of China contain ing a provision that no Chinese la borers shall enter the United Stales, was taken up, discussed and adopted. The pension bill va taken up," the pending question being on n amendment offered yesterday by Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, to add the words "from infirmities of age." Mr. Beck said that he understood the meaning of the amendment lobe that every man who served in the late war, or in the war with Mexico or in any Indian war, and who was suffering under "infirmities of age" would be entitled to pension of S12 a month." He supposed that every man ovvr fifty or sixty years of age would consider himself as suffering under the infirmities of age. Could the Senator from Iowa or any other Senator guess how much money that amendment, if adopted, would take out of the treasury ? He ven tured to assert that 850,000,000 would not hall cover the amount of expenditure under it. There was no sense he said in talking of a sur plus in the treasury. Thi.? bill would settle that for all time to come. The moment Con-.rtss un dertook to pension all the men who became old the country would be bankrupt unless taxes were dou bled, trebled and quadrupled. Pro tected robber baron monopolies could not have drawn ,1 bill ir. their own interest more adroitly than this bill was drawn. Incidental to thi3 phase ol the biil Mr. Beck digressed to discussion of the tariff and later on the demonetization of silver and trusts." Interruptions and ques tions by the other Senators turned the discussion into tin interlocutory debate, participated in by Hawley, Plumb, bherman. Aldnch, Plat', Teller and McPherson. Without vote on the pending amendment, the Senate at 5:30 adjourned till Monday. House : On motion of Mr. Dar- gan, of South Carolina, the Senate bill was passed authorizing the Sec- retar' of War to transfer to the trustees of Porter Academ', of Charleston. S. C, certain property belonging to the government, and formerly used as an arsenal. The Tariff Biil Submitted After ' Months of Deliberation. Washington, March 1.

Judge Dick and Mr. Henderson's Bill. The Citizen lias already pub lished the substance of the bill introduced by Hon. John S. Hen derson, greatly modifying the methods of the enforcement of the internal revenue laws, which bill has passed the House of Rep resentatives. Judge Dick has written a letter of approval to Mr. Henderson in which he says : "Section 2 is right and in full accord with the rules of court in this district. Of course I prefer to have a positive law of Congress upon the subject. '"' "I have adopted rules of court to prevent as far as possible any oppression on the part of officers, but I cannot prevent petty prose cutions unless I have the power of taxing costs and imprisoning the originators of such prosecu tions." Judge Dick, in another letter, dated Feb. 3, assured Col. Hen derson that if he succeeds in hav ing passed bill 5831 "you will ac complish a good work and will give the relief which the public interests require. RACKET STORE ITEMS. We invite the attention of the pea pie to the fact that we continue to re ceive new goods. Barred Muslins, Lawns, a l.ylot of Hani burgs, Tor chons, Corsets, Kid Gloves and a job iu ladies' Dongola Kid Shoes at 82.44 a pair, which we defy the trade to match for tbe price. Children's and Misses' School Shoes ingreat variety, at prices which always sell them. A full line of all the standard novels at 12c. per volume, 25c. elsewhere. A new lot of Mats, Rugs and Hassocks, while our stock of household using things is kept complete, with additions made daily in all the labor saving and convenient utensils we can find. Cheap Penc ils ! well, you would think so if you could sec the lot we have in store. One dozen or one' thou sand dozen, just as many as you want, at C CTS. PER DOZEN. Our price is less than nine-tenths of the merchants in Asheville paid for the same pencils at wholesale. We are fortunate in being connected with a house that has ample capital to hunt up and buy everything that the peo ple want, wherever il can be bought be low its market value. A lot of Men's Fur Hats, fine goods, just in, are an example of our facilities for getting goods under the market, only one or two of a style, wc are selling them at 98c. to 81.58 each, and we could not buy them in the regular way under $21 per dozen. Wc ask doubters to call and examine them. They were sent to us as a job. We did not know they had them, but knowing that we can place bargains, they sent them to us. Onr Headquarters never get hold of a particularly good thing with out sending us a part of it. Our store has lost none of its prestige as the Bargain Store of Asheville, and we contemplate putting in such a spring and summer stock as will show our appreciation of past favors. We can show enquirers beyond the shadow of a doubt that we (through our connec tion with No. 466 Broadway, N. Y.) possess facilities for getting goods unequaled by any other store in Asheville, and we guarantee that we can, and will, undersell any house in town upon all lines except domestic goods bought in this State, which one man with mone3T can buy as cheaply as another. Come and see our goods, and learn our prices ; by this means satisfy yourselves. Don't buy of us unless price and quality suit. We have placed a larger order for our Woven Corset, which has been so highly praised, and which at 86c. is the best value wc have ever seen in a corset. We shall continue to make a leader of it until we find something we regard as better. We beg the ladies not to buy a high-priced corset until they have compared it with this corset. .

In an article published in the Trib une of Febuary 28th there appeared a paragraph reflecting upon the char acter of Rev. L. M. Pease, of Ashe ville. WTe learn that day informed by reliable gentlemen in Knoxville that our information about Dr. Pease was grossly untrue and was a most unjust reflection upon a good man. On the 29th wc made the correction. Yesterday we recieved a letter from Colonel E. J. Aston, of Asheville, iu which he says : "Rev. L. M. Pease is a Christian gentleman of unimpeachable charac ter, and whose Christian charity and generous philanthropy is without a parallel iu this or any other State." Last night we received the follow ing anonymous telegram addressed to the Tribune. "Asheville, N. C, March 1. A meeting of the Board of Trade and citizens held this evening for the purpose of taking action on an article in the Tribune of the 28th regarding Dr. L. M. Pease. Secretary Captain E. J. Holmes tendered his resigna tion. Resolutions endorsing Dr. Pease and condemning the Iribune were passed. About 100 people were pies eat. B." The Tribune never heard of Dr. Pease until the artieewas published Tuesday morning'm 'which that gen tleman was incidentally refrred to The article was prepared by one of our reporters who thought he had the information correct. We would net intentionally wrong any man and whenever such a mistake as this ap pears to he is made the Tribune will do all in its power to right the wrong. Do Men Gather FigsofThisUes? It is as reasonable to expect figs from thirties as to look for good results when poor seeds are planted. If you plant an acorn you cannot gather apricots, and if you sow poor and old seeds you can not have large and 6oid cabbage heads, nor round and regular tomatoes, nor perfect and j'uicy canteloupee. The moral of this is, Be sure you get gooi.' seeds to avoid disappointment. Lau dreth's seeds are regarded the best all over the United States, and you can get the best crop at l'elhatn's Drug Store. d&wtf If you want bargains in farniture, call on W. A.
