C 6s were sold last week in lew York at 119; the new. 4b j.- 1 , 1 lions are reported. 1 Bt ah error the name of Mr. D. B. Nicholson was omitted from the list of members of the Democratic central com mittee published in oar last issue. ' Euiwhiu will be found i communi cation from this, city to Bradstreet's, which gives a -very fair statement of the business! situation in North Carolina. The evils of the tenant system are very clearly stated and the conclusion of the writer will doubtless be verified. The ' improvement of which, he speaks has al rftadv bfltrnn. we think, and will increase at a rate whioh will grow rapidly as the years pss. Thx speedy success of the street-car strike in New York was due to the fact that the demand of the strikers was a reasonable one and therefore evoked the . sympathy of the community and led to i a' patient endurance of the inconvenience due to the temporary stoppage of the cars. The fact that 'the strikers were j orderly and dignified, also lent strength ! to the movement. Strikers elsewhere in the! country wo.uld do well to study these phases of the case. Tbi State superintendent of public ' instruction, Hon. S. M. Finger reports that in the sixty-five counties of the State from which he has information, . therej are thirty thousand .pupils on the ' rolls of the private schools, academies and colleges. This indicates a number for the whole State as great probably as fortj-fi?e or fifty thousand, which is no bad showing. It does not prove, now- erer," that we do not need the aid the Blair bill would give us. 4 , Z . m . .: . : j TxcuMBKH Shkrma seems not yet sat- ' iafied with the fame he has won as a letter-writer. : He has again opened i Lis mouth, as the Irishman says, to put '. his foot in it. He remarks with! abso luU superfluity that bis children could .no more enter a publio school than oommon tavern. If Sherman's purpose , is to secure 1 such execration from all ' the American people as that hej justly : enjoys now from the people of the South. " in consequence of his bant-burning per- . formances, he seems to be in a fair way to gain Jus object, ,r i ! Thxt had a ynobing in New Jersey the Other day at a point within fifty miles of New York city. A negro ray isker of a white woman was made to pay the penalty of his. crime before resort ' could be had to the courts of law. We v conclude, therefore, that human nature b in that region, where lyncnlhga .are rarest, very much like what it is in the So'nth and West, which are considered by the New Yorkers lands of lawless! ness. so that in such cases as i that ret ferred to the ordinary method! of jus- ! tice seem too slow. .To our mind, whji i lynch law is always to be deprecated an avoided, there can be no punishment too awful, no death too quick, for the rav- I isher. His crime is, above all others i one without palliation or excuse. Thb New. York Commercial .Bulletin high authority in trade and commerce) does not anticipate any permanentrise in the price of cotton. After :full sur vey of the fieldjrof production and con sumption it concludes that The pro duction of cotton has gone on and ;u expected to go on this year, with no. re gard whatever to the general prostra ition of manufactures, here and-abroad, which neoeuaarily curtails consumption. : Unless there should be a prospect of short cotton crop next fall,' of Which there is no sign, now, it would not be strange if cotton should decline stil further before the present surplus has j been cleared away. Southern farmers This "when found' should "make a note on. In a very readable article touching the claim made for Mr. Clemmons that he-discovered the electric telegraphj the Goldsboro Messenger - remarks : ftThe Messenger is assured by ', those; -who ought to know something of the matter thvt Mr. Clemmons is certainly entitled to the Honor of having discovered what would make communication by wire for long distances possible, and that he in formed his classmates and others of this discovery eleven! years before Morse completed his discovery ofthe principle of the telegraph." As we did not under stand when we wrote an article on this matter a week ago; that. Mr- Cleninions' had made any discovery at all. in ; cou- nection with the telegraph, itrwould give us much pleasure to be informed what it was that Mr. Clemmons dis covered. One discovers a physical fact such as that electricity will pass, along an iron wire, and one invents some ap pliance to utilize this physical fact for the purposes of man. It ,1s suggested that Mr. CUminons made some: discov ery; if so, what was it? ' What fact did . he find out that was not known; before ? Morse never discovered the principle- of - the telegraph any more than any per son now could discover the principle of PTerihvt wsto wheel, HR.KDxrsir iirsoturios:' This week the" Senate will considet the resolutions reported from the I ju diciary i committee by Mr. Edmunds, touching the refusal ot the attorney gen eral to Send to the Senate- copies of pa pers called-for by its resolution with re gard to the Duskin case. 'These resolu tions provide in effect thai none of the nomiqationa. made to fill vacancies caused bv removals shall be confirmed' .. - i. -: o . unless the President, gives the reasons which actuated him in making the re movals. ;' The President says he will not give such reasons; that the Senate has nothintr to do with the matter of reinovais. ? butl' only with that fof appointments. ;T What will be the result of the difference ? Will the republican Senators, who alone are mak ing the trouble,- yield,- orrwillthe Presi- dent n It may sateiy De taicen tor gran tea that the latter will not. 'tin the message which he wrote the other day he made it clear enough for even those who run. to read, that be is standing upon the pre rogative of his : office and aiming to do what is best for. the fehole people, while the Kepublican Senators are simply try ing to make party capital ; Mr. Edmunds wiU find that even his party colleagues will, to some extent, desert him in his war on the Presi dent. They will aid him possibly in his struggle,- aftejr (prominence with a View to his re-election to the senate, but they are too shrewd not to perceive that the people and right are on the side of the1 President, and, therefore, when the res olutions oome to be voted on they will either be rejected, or referred back" to the committee, there to remain for an indefinite period. There may be- there WuL be, probably some acrimonious peeches by the moBt extreme repnbli cans, but their will represent the utmost; of the damage done. The resolutions, : in other words, will probably end ini gasi and; after Mr. Edmunds has played his little part the. senate will proceed to take up the nominations and act upon them, as it 'should, upon their ineritsr and upon the information concerning them to which it is entitled. i i :: I . Tbi trial of the Key. Dr. Armstrong, of Atlanta, on the charge of '.'immoral revelry" has resulted in conviction and the Doctor's suspension from the duties of his office for five years by his bishop. The unfortunate clergyman has protested against th6 decision and the vestry of I his church are represented as ib the j highest degree indignant, abusive of the bishop and .threatening even to ; with- draw from t the Episcopal church. It 1 was hoped ihat certain evidence laid be fore the bishop after . the conclusion of the triil would establish the-; purity of Ur Armstrong s motives and sq hnally exculpate nun, out mis we suppose was not as strong as it was represented. Cer- tainiy jrom ail tne evidence wnicn was made publio the verdict seems just, and U s- j i . !.l it. - aence we are uispoaea tu agree witn ae Angusta Chronicle, one of the leading - ' m? rti.-cL. i- If .aI Li i papers oi; .vreorgia wnen : sajs The' Episcopal church was called upon to investigate one of the most re maraaDie propeeoiBgB ever muuigea m by a ninister of God. It .was called upon! to f keview -a oourse of conduct which, . taken . in all 'its i surround ings, could not be justified by any code of morals; jcivil or i ecclesiastical. 'ffo4 he vine that the verdict was just, we mustroodolude .' that the sentence of five Tears' suspension pronounced . by the bishop was proper. : It is creditable to the chnrch that it has the courage to in- vadefoneof the most brilliant and fash ionable eon irre srations and condemn; one of its most brainy and popular priests if ne merited condemnation. ji eourst; the fullest svmnathv will be felt bv ill for Dr. Armstrone and more narticularl? for his innocent family, but there should and will be do'ibtless sympathy also for the eood men .who have suffered abuse for discharging their duty to themselves and to their church. Tkn Memphis Cotton Exchange has adopted irresolutions heartily endorsing tne resomwons adopted oj cne agriqui- tural conTention recently held at Jack son, 4-nn., advising the planting of onethird. less cotton and more grasses The Memphis body holds also that the present price for ; cotton makes its pro duction .unprofitable to the Southern farmers, and that the price already fixed by speculators for the crop of 1886-37 demands of the producer his eo-bpera tion in an effort to defeat the machiqa-: tions of manipulators who hope to still further increase i their trains at the ex pense of the planters.

What are pur North G&roliba commercial bodiesoihg to do about the matter?

Wlf do .not apprehend fiuch trouble in the? House for the Blair bill as our Wasbincton correspondent seems to fear. ' '1 he Allison amendment, previd iuir for a division of the fund between the whites and blacks on the basis of the Illiteracy Of the two races having been defeated, Southern members cahiivery well afford to accept the ; bill as it has corns to them from the Senate., It' is in the. power of an obstinate minority, though, -very seriously j to obstruct a mealure i the character of this1- Still we trust thatsuch tactics will not avail to de feat the bill. It is'of greai importance to us at the' South, and simply proposes to psyja debt the country as a whale owes Tax iron manuEacturers held the floor last week before the committee having in : charge the Morrison .-bill . ; They' made the best of their case, but proba bly without avail. The bill does not meet our wishes fully, but only because it does not go far enough. So far as it doestgo we are for it. We are for a re duction of the tariff to the lowest' point possible in view of the needs Of the gov ernment for revenue. That rekluctioi should be"' made carefully, of course, and in such a way- as to' do the least pos sible harm to existing industries. It should be made, however,' in spite of the? protests of the protectionists, since their interests are in opposition to those of the masses of the people, and since all in dustries will eventually be benefited by a reduction, though temporarily such action may lessen the. profits of capital ists in some lines of business.! In re sponse to the demand of the democratic pajrty the Morrison bill should be passed. It is to be regretted, however that the reductions it makes are hot greater and tnpre general. Thk Texan who; declined tofbe a vic tim of the New York "saw-dust" swin die and killed his man to make sure his declination was acquitted of the charge of murder. His plea was that he acted wholly in Belf-defense that the man he shot was about to shoot him! when he, I with the celerity characteristic of Texans where shooting is , concerned, "got the drop" on him and put him out of the Way of doing harm. The jui-y believed his story, and the Texan will return to bis home and doubtless to an ovation, since those who knew him at home have taken the greatest interest in his case, made up a large purse for his defense and were represented by quite a delega tion which saw the trial through. We do not.know that he is any better than the rogue he shot, but he has evidently been made a eoit of hero by his friends. Apostles 0f Mormonism are ; making trouble! in northern -Alabama. They should : receive little i consideration, if any. Perhaps a measure like that just adopted in Mississippi to meet the case they present would bo effectual. This measure makes teaching the doctrines of MormonistB in any wise a crime pun.hh- able by a fine of 500 and ' imprison ment. ;It is by no means severe, in view of the enormity of the evil it is aimed at.

Dear Brethren : The annual con vention of the Young Men's Christian associations of North Carolina will be held at Chapel Hill, March 11th to 14th The opening session will be held Thursday eveninz. Mareh 11th, at 7:30 o'clock. Young Men s Christian association work in our State falling so far short Of the progress manifest in most of our sis ter States, especially throughout the Norths is, no doubt, mainly attributable to lack of an intelligent understanding of association work. Absence of united effort in State work has also been a hin drance to our success. If those whose "heart is in the work" will but appre ciate these facts, and act, the good ac complished for the young men of our commonwealth will be incalculable. It is therefore earnestly desired that every association in the State be fully repre sented at the coming convention, so that we may all enter upon the new year with increased enthusiasm and a better knowl edge of our work. The number -of dele gates is unlimited, and each association should promptly arrange to send to the convention as large a delegation as pos sible. Pastors of evangelical churches are invited to meet with us and take part' in the proceedings. Christian young men from any town, village Or institution of learning in the Stater, even where thero are no associations, will be heartily welcomed and entertained. The credentials of each should be signed by the president of the faculty, or the pas tor of the church where they belong. It is especially important that places contemplating the organization of asso ciations should send delegates to tli e convention. 1 Messrs. E. W. Watkins, 0. K. Ojj-r, L. W. Wishard, and perhaps other i f j resentatives of the international e -iiiiii:i-tee and prominent association workers are expected to be present aud partici pate in the exercises. I It is hoped that every delegate will endeavor to be ; present at the opening session and remain through the entire convention. i . f 1 Unless further notice is given, it (wiil be understood that no reduction can be secured from the regular railroad rates. Additional information will be cheer fully given if desired. Address, C. . Graham, chairman, Asheville, N. C. . : C. E. Graham, . Chairman State Ex.
