Washington, D. C, July 5. Hocsa.
After unimportant preliminary busi
ness the house went into committee of
the whole (Mr. ' Hammond in the
chair) on the , general I deficiency bill.
In speaking to a clause relating to tho
pay of witnesses, Mr Springer caused to
be road a letter from attorney general
Garland to Senator Allison ex
plaining that theincreiso of expen
ditures for 'these 1 fees in 1886
was caused by the' fact that
there was a deficiency in 1885, and con
sequently a large amount of the busi
ness of that year was carried over to
'8ti, also owing to the; prosecution of
polygamous Mormons under the Ed
munds act, and on account of the pros
ecution of offenses arising under the
general land laws. These were neces
sary and unforeseen : expenses and we
ought not to take an exception to an in
crease of expenses on this account.
While thero has been a trifling increase
of expenditures in the matters indica
ted yet there has been a large de
crease of expenditures during the
fiscal year . just closed as com
pared with tho previous fiscal year.
'Ibis decreaso in all the de
partments of the government amounted
according to the statements of the
treasury oftloials to twenty-two millions
of dollars. The new broom of this ad
ministration is sweeping clean and much
better remlis may be anticipated for
tht? ensuing year. A; long and at
tunes acrimonious discussion arose over
n i.tneuUment offered by Mr. Connor,
of Illinois, appropriating 22,000 dol
lais to refund taxes illegally collected
from certain railroad companies on ac
count ol alien bond and stockholders.
The amendment was adopted. The
clause . ratifying and confirming the
readjustment of the salaries of post
masters heretofore made by the
postmaster general ; pursuant to
the act of March 3d ; 1883, was ruled
out on a point of order and an amend
ment offered by Mr. JBurnes, of Mis
souri, striking out the fntire appropria
tion for the readjustment ($392,394),
was adopted.
Mr. Gibson, of West Virginia, caused
something of a sensation by charging
that Messrs. Townshend and Cannon,
members of - the appropriations commit
tee, had gone to the i senate after the
action of the House striking out the
names of certain housed employees from
the legislative appropriation bill and
procured the reinsertion of the names of
the Senate committee.
Mr. Cannon admitted that he had re
quested tho Senate v committee to
insert in the bill the names of two
pages, who had from long ex
perience become almost indispensable
He knew his privileges and rights as a
member and had nothing to apologize
for. Neither of the employees had been
employed on bis solicitation. When the
legislative bill came back to the Bouse
he had no doubt that it would accept
the amendment he had suggested to the
Senate committee. r ,
Mr. Townshend said thai the names
of the employees had been stricken out
of the bill on a point of order made by
one member contrary, as he believed, to
the wish of the vast majority of the
members of the House. Alexander
Stephens, on his death bed, had re
quested him (Townshend) to cause John
(Jbancene s name to be
retained on the
set to insure a plentiful crop, the ripen- payroll of the House as long as he
mg season can De pusnea u gouu au- (TownBhend) remained in Congress, and
vantage. Not only will the fruit ripen
sooner, but it win De oi nner.size ana
more perfect development. If possible,
the fruit should be ripened on the vine;
the flavor is so much richer when so
ripened, that it is worth while to take
-extra pains in order to protect it so
that it may ; ripen in its natural state.
A most effectual scarecrow to frighten
away poultry from the ripening fruit
can be made by sticking turkey or hen providing that their names be placed
feathers into a "crooked neck" summer the t0 0f the House employees! Al
squash, so it will resemble a Laws; put
a stick through the body, tie strings to

prove effectual.
The British parliamentary elections
begad Friday and will continue about
two weeks. Lack of campaign funds
are the greatest trouble with Mr. Glad
stone's suppoiters, as the monet bags of
when Chancerie's name and that of
Bacon, a gallant Illinois soldier, had
been Btricken out on the point of order
he had determined to cause them to be,
restored if it were in his power.
Mr. Gibson resented the idea of in
terferenoe by the Senate in a matter of
this kind. He had no ill will against
these employees and if allowed he
would tomorrow introduce a resolution
on
ploveesJ After
concluding the consideration ofj all but
ten pages of the bill the committee rose
and the House at 5 o'clock adjourned.

It Is currently reported that an effort
will be made in the approaching judicial
convention, to be held at Caarleskn,
Swain county, ;to have the convention
declare for a new supreme court ; the
composition of the court to be, for ohief
justice, A. o Merrimon ; for associate
justices, W. J1. bhipp and W. D. J'ru-
den. 1 have been unable to trace the
ruuior to any very authentic scum- I
think it is as yet mere talk.
The drift of discussion in private cir
cles, particularly in legal coteries, is
directed to these several phases of the
matter : The retention of the Old court;
the nomination of A- S. Merriuiou for
chief justice, add new men in the place
of Messrs Smith and Ashe. Pubiic
tiuien is scarcely formed, and it is im
potable to foretell around which phase
ti e case sentiment is likely to crys
tals. ' I
The arguments pro and o n nre well
worthy of consideration. O e tiling,
however, all are united upon, it iu;it;cr
not how diverse the views, that L, iiiV
three purer, better, more worthy ineii
never sat on the bench than Smith,
Aslie and Merrimon. Should it be tho
fiat of the popular will that they or any
of them retire with the expiration of
their present term of office to the shades
of private life, it is certain they will
carry with them the good wishes, the
respect, the veneration of all North Car
olinians who admire integrity, purity,
and patriotism : and will leavo upon the
judicial annals of thv State names un
sullied and worthy to be always remem
bered and revered.
It is argued that younger men than
the present judges thould bo nominated
for these several reasons briefly stated;:
That we may have a more ; vigorous
court, one that can do more work; that
the young and working element of the
party may have their enthusiasm and
energy aroused in the coming campaign.
Un the other hand it is insisted that
the present court is a vigorous court
and does its work well, performing as
great labor as any court in the Union;,
and that they have enthusiastic friends
in all parts of the State and could carry
as large a vote, if not larger; than any
ticket we could name.
The idea that Chief Justice Smith and
Associate Justice Ashe are too old for
the bench and are falling into decrepi
tude is meit by the fact that they are
discharging the duties of their office
with entire satisfaction, there are no
younger men at the bar who work harder
and bear up better under their labors
than these gentlemen. The fear that
they may not live through another term;
that there might be a iter 188S a Kepub-
ican Governor; that a vacancy might
ccur and be filled by appointment by
tuci supposable Republican chief exec
utive, is considered by many hercabouu.
as altogether groundless and chimerical,
and un w drthy a moment's consideration .
It is the progeny oi excefsi -e caution,
if not the outgrowth of minds "fatally
bent" on ousting the' old cout t.
Chief Justice Smith stands high in
the esteem of the trarismontane people,
although few of them know him per
sonally. He is known to be a just
man, a true, patriotio North Carolina j,
and undoubtedly the most. learned law
yer in the State today, inferior iu point
of legal acquirements to no one of his
illustrious predecessors.
Judge Ashe has best of friends snd
admirers. Apart from his loty charac
ter as a judicial officer, it is not forgot
ten that he won the gratitude of the
Democratic party by making the race iu
1808 against Holtien, when there wa
no hope of election, and several other
distinguished patriotio eons of the Old
Worth State bad, for one rcaon or an
other, refused to answer the call of the
party to go forward and make the sacri
fice. The name of Ashe is synonymous
with all that is good, true and modest;
and unless it can be shown that he is
unfitted further for the office whieh his
virtues and abilities now adorn by
reason of advancing years, he will e
renominated without opposition.
.buncombe county will of course go
for the renomination of Judge Mem
mon. He is one of our poople, Bun
combe is proud of him, and already has
placed his name on Buncombe's roll ol
great names, alongside of Swain, Cling-
man, Coleman and the Vanoes.
Should the old court be renominated,
.buncombe oounty, you may be sure,
will give the ticket every Democratic
vote.

communicatjd with tho elevator, and by
i!ian8 of it spread to all the floors of the
building in an incredibly short time
The smoke and flames rushed from the
rear to the front, and were! pouring out
of all tbe windows by the time the de

seeond, third, fourth and fifth
floors of the buildings are occupied
by the Benton hotel, which was

lie was very soon driven out of the
hotel by the smoke and flames. His
efforts were rewaided bv seeing ten or
fifteen persons leaving the house. One
tin, cut off from the stairway, forced
lu skyught and came out on the
roof. Another tried the front fire escape
from tho fourth floor: but was driven to
the roof. He was slightly burned.
Another man rushed from the rear
fife escape and came '. down through an
other building.
It was at first thought that ten to fif
teen persons had been burned to death,
but a subsequent search by firemen re
vealed two dead bolieB only. They were
both men of middle age who had been
sleeping in bunks.
They were both found on tbe floor in
the middle of the room on the fifth floor
and one was burned beyond recognition.
Neither one had been identified this morn

on a lirge wheel boat which was oppo

Nkw York, July 2, 1886.
The markets for merchandise feel tho
effects of the termination of the half-year
and the approach of the national holi
day, and yet may be said to maintain a
very good position, with growing con
fidence in the stability of values and a
large regular demand in the near future.
Labor troubles continue, and complete
exemption from them is probably not to
be expected at present. Crop accounts
are less favorable from some section,
the chief complaint being excess of rains;
occasionally drought is reported, but
nowhere, it is believed, has any serious
damage been done. Still, there is suf
ficient uncertainty to give some impulse
to the speculation in staples of agricul
ture " :
The lard market has been the scene
of much speculative activity and excite
ment, ending in what looks much like a
corner on contracts for the early months.
Pork is also higher at $11 25 a 11. 7 5
for new mess. Cut -meata and bacon
have taken an upward turn, pickled
bellies closing at 6a6. Butter is
firmer at 14p18c for creamery, and
cheese at 5a8o for Suite factory. Tallgw
is lower at 4c. Stearine held at 7o.
Bio coffee has been t ctive, but fever
ishly variable in tone and prices the
close, , however, is decidedly higher.
Fair cargoes on the spot are quoted at
9. Options were today quite buoy
ant, closing this afternoon with sellers
at $8a8 One for the early months and
$8.05a8 10c for the more distant futures.
Raw sugars have also been active and
advancing, closing at 4c. for fair re
fining Cuba and 5 Jo. for centrifugal,
96-deg. test, but tbe business today was
only moderate. Molasses is higher at
19o. for SOrdeg test.
Spirits turpentine has been dull and
drooping, closing this afternoon at 32e.
Roso ha ve, continued quiet at $1.02a

ted to appoint a committee to memori
alize the legislature in behalf of a per
manent normal school. Maj. Finger
explained that in bis view the most
practicable plan would be the institu
tion of a normal school for teachers,
male and female, to be held seven
months in the year, with four professors,,
which professors should be detailed to
conduct the principal institutes, in four
sections of the State, for three months
annually. He explained further that no
additional cost would be required, as
certain educational funds which he re-'
ferred to could be more economically
used in that manner and accomplish
more good for the State than in any
other way.
It has been decided to meet again,
June 14, 1887, but the plaoe is left to
be determined by a committee.
