"We re receiving some great bargains this 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!

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.

I AfUiviLLK, July 2, lSw(i 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. A FATAL FOURTH. 11 A ITER OF AC IDE IN IH II- 1I AN APOL.1. Fir and 1am f Ltf tm .

The fire rapidly 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 partment arrived on the ground. The seeond, third, fourth and fifth floors of the buildings are occupied by the Benton hotel, which was fitted v p as a cheap lodging house. The uppiT floors were formerly used as store i rooms, ana were convenes into notei ap&rtiri' uta by frame partitions, making a veritable fire trap in which over thirty-five poople were sleeping A younr man ramed Charles Speech, of the "Evageline" company rushed up stairs aud aroused as many as he could L by shouting and pounding the doors. 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 ing r- Iu fkhting the flames four of the flro-- moii were badly burned. Jno. T.

The trouble occurred on a lirge wheel boat which was oppo site the work-houso.

York Financial Chronicle. 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.

Tbe North Carolina Teachers' As sembly bad a very interesting discus sion upon a proposition to ask the gen eral assembly to establish a state normal school, having in view tbe preparation of teachers, male and female, for their profession. It was ;ably debated by Messrs. Delke, Reinhart, Finger, Bing ham, Phillips, and others. The discus sion took a wide range, involving the entire tubjeet of higher female educa tion, and of oo-education of the sexes. Mai. Bingham and Prof. W.D.Phil- lipB, of the University, opposod a prop osition to request the trustees to admit women to the privileges of the class in pedagogics at the University, but by general consent a resolution was adop 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. - An excursion party to Europe is mooted, and finds much favor at the low rates proposed, and the advantages offered to the party. The award of the gold medal for North Carolina history, like that of gen eral history, was made to a lady, Miss Belle Graves, of Mt, Airy. Miss Graves will be remembered by many of tbe citizens of Raleigh ; as a pupil of St. Mary's, and this is a high compliment to that institution, the examination being a rigid one.
