A Forc ible letter.
Mr. Pugiu's letter to the New
Haven (Conn.) Palladium, publish
ed ia to-day's IIecouder is worthy
of a careful perusal by every reading
man.
It is manly. Tt contains the facts
ia the case. It is the. unprejudiced
expression and opinion of a northern
man, and a Republican, who lives
among our people and knows what
he ia talking about, and he is also a
man who desires to se justice and
truth vindicated. It should have
deal of weight with his north-

The Duihara Tobacco Association
should commend itself to every
,!..., : v u r i: tl. .
sociation is composed of gentlemen
t too well known and too strongly
identified with the best interests of
Durham and the farmers to gainsay
their liberality and business tact.
Durham, like every town that is
progressive, has her enemies those
jealous of her progress and prosperi
ty, and who will not hesitate to use
every thing calculated to create pre
judice against her tobacco market
and injure her trale.
To those who are inclined to listen
to and believe the credulous reports
which may be circulated to the de
triment of Durham, we wish to call
their attention to a resolution passed
the other day by the Durham Tobac
co Association. It is to the effect
that tbe buyers on the Durham
Bitrket pledge themselves to the full
market value on all tobacco sold on
any warehouse floor now open in
Durham or hereafter to be opened."
It eems to us that this broad
enough and liberal enoujh to satis
fy all minds that the tobacco buyers
of Durham are nut disposed to work
against the iittwt of the planters,
a ome would have the p'anters be
lieve.
We will here add, that the Dur
ham tobacco market is in splendid
trim and U prepared to handle a'l the
,1obacco brought to this place. For
the past ten days prices hare been
well unstained, and ao far as we can
learn the fa men have gone home
satisfied with their sales. Our buy

The city of Charlotte, ever pro-gr-wire,
has, in the last year or so,
develop! renew! energy, not only
in th indmtriul art-, but many oth
er particulars that i greatly to her
crlit auJ nill redound to her ma
terial advancement and prosperity.
Not conterr witii l.'ii!-ling three
new cottn t ii i iT,-', tvhich are now
being put int operation, she v
greatly enttnuwl on the subject of
building three or four more rail
roadi. There is not a more wide
awake, literal or g.-nial jnwple in the
State. They e energy from
the word go.
The Chariot Cliamlier of Com
mere? has voted to advertise the
charm of that city and we are told
that arrangements have Wti made
tol-ring it alvatitages to the atten
tion not only of invalids in hearth
of a winter resort, but also of nettlem
who are in wan h of homes.
This is the proper way to attract
the attention of those mfk'ma south
era hojies or southern towns for a
Mwrn't aojourn. These people will
not know unless the matter is Lid
Lefote them; and it will not be laid
before them unless towns make the
effort.
There is a lesson in this for Dur
ham. The Commonwealth Club
should be . instant in season. Dur
ham should by all means catch her
share of the south-flowing tide.
- The Popular Vote.
The recent vote for President will
probably reach 12,000,000, and it is
uncertain whether Harrison or Cleve
land has a majority of the popular
vote. A majority of 10,000 is claim
ed for Harrison, but as not one-
fourth of the States are officially re
ported, Cleveland is quite as likely
to have the popular majority.
The Philadelphia Times figures it
up in this way: The Republican
majorities seem to he reduced about
4,000 in California, about 3,000 in
Illinois, ah ut 8,000 in Minnesota,
about 2,000 in New Hampshire,
about 10,000 in Ohio and about 2,-
000 in Rhode Island. The Demo
cratic majorities seem to be reduced
1,000 in Connecticut, about 700 in
Delaware, about 5,000 in Kentucky,
about 6,000 in Maryland, about 10,-
000 in South Carolina, about 4,500
in Virginia and about 3,000 in West
Virginia, while New York changes
from 1,100 Democratic to 13,000
Republican and Indiana changes
from 6,400 Democratic to about 2,
000 Republican.
'I he Republican majorities appear
to increase about 4,000 in Colorado;
about 10,000 in Iowa; about 18,000
in Kansas; about 3,000 in Maine;
about 6,000 in Massachusetts; about
18,000 in Michigan; about 9,000 in
Nebraska; about 5,000 in Oregon,
and about 7,000 in Wisconsin. The
Democratic majories increase about
3.500 in Florida; about 15,000 in
Georgia; about 38,000 in Louisiana;
about 2,300 in New Jersey, and
about 10,000 in Tennessee. Texas
gave Cleveland 132,000 four years
ago, but no reliable estimate of the
majority this year has yet been given.
Its vast territory an 1 limited facili
ties for getting returns from the
many remote districts make it the
last State to furnish the official vote.
Durham Herself Again.
So far as we can see and judge to
day, Durham is herself again.
The financial shock shook her op
but matters hare settled down and
now business is going on as usual.
The business of the town has never
suspended; not foi a single day. The
gentlemen who were affected by the
assignments closed np until matters
could be straighened out Their
stores are opening again. The Bank
of Durham is closed until a proper
adjustment of its affairs can he
reached. The other three banks
have been open all the time and sup
plying our people with all the mone t
they needed. Foreign capital has
poured into Durham, thus attesting
the confidence friends have in the
place and our psople.
Tobacco is bringing better prices
than it has for some months past,
and it is being sold at our two ware
houses every day.
Gentlemen have been here desiring
to invest in Durham real estate since
the failures. They hare faith in the
future of Durham. Our people have
faith in our town and they are dis
playing it every day.
Durham may he said to be her
self again. We now go on to greater
achievement. Onward is the watch
word, with a united community to
overcome all obstacles and difficulties.
Sexator A. II. Colquitt has been
re-elected U. 8. Senator from Ueorgia
Mr. If . W. Grady refused to allow his
name to be place in nomination
though there was a strong sentiment
in his favor. Mr. Grady would rath
er conttnue his vocation as editor
than be Senator. A wise man.
Especially so should he defeat such
a man as Senator Colquitt.
Tub discussion of tariff reform,
like the poet's brook, flows on. The
Democrats will not give up lecause
they have met with defeat this time.

Danville Exposition.
Our neighboring Virginia city,
Danville, is now in all the ec&tacv of
her great tobacco Exposition.
The press dispatches inform us
that the opening Wednesday was at
tended by an immense crowd, the
largest ever seen in that city. The
trade display represented the miner
al business and industries of the city,
afid was a m le lone. The tobacco
exhibition embraces 1 ,800 samples of
all grades of tobacco from Virgina,
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Tennessee, and is a magnificent dis--
play of the weed. The trades dis
play occupies two immense build
ings, and is a most creditable ex
hibit. The colored people took a
conspicuous' part in the parade.
This is gratifying news to us.
We are always pleased to hear
of the success of these Expo
sitions, trades displays and Fairs.
They are agricultural, industrial and
mechanical educators. They bring
the people together and cultivate a
beneficial spirit of friendliness and
social intercourse.
Danville is full of vim and energy
and whenever she nudertakes any
thingyoumayknowit will be worth
seeing. This is her gala week and
and we rejoice with her in it.
Many Durhatuites will be there to
mingle with her people and witness
her enterprise.
Scientists say that the savage
has a more acute sense of smell than
civilized people. When two savages
get together how they must suffer.
Wi All told that mercury has ad
