THE DIBECTTAX BILL THE COTTON TAX t 5 QTHltB TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. "VVASHiJrefTON, Jan. 18 -Senatk. Mr. Sheimlon, from the committee on foreign relations, reported the bill to fix the charge for passports at $1 (now $5) ad the bill was thereupon passed. "i At t be cfose of the morning busi ness, the bill for refunding the direct tax of 18G was taken up: the ques tion being -' on Chandler's motion to recommit to bill. The motion was rejected. The question was then taken on tbB amendment oflVsred by Mr. Edmunds requiring all claims to be filed wifhin bix years; and it was agreed to. i Several ameudineuts of a verbal character were also agreed to. Mr. Berry offered an amendment providing tjjiat no part of the money collected ffom individuals shall be retained bythe United States as a set off agajnsts any State indebted ness. The-ayiendment was agreed to. VASC ON THE COTTON TAX. ? Mr. Vane1 offered an amendment extending t&e provioions of the bill to the cotton tax collected under the lftw of 1863 and , subsequent laws. He said tha$ if the direct tax was to be refunded , this cotton tax, which. was a direct tax, ought to be refund ed. If one was a hardship the other was equally? a hardship. The cotton tax was a tax on exports and was levied on th peculiar product of one section of the country; so that there cduld be ?jno compensating tax oft any other section. Mr. George adiocated the amendment. The constitutionality of the cotton tax had been referred, he said, to the Supreme Court, and the court, con sisting then oi only eignt members, had been equally divided upon it. Being a tax upon a raw product it was virtually a tax on lands; therefore a direct t ax, which should be, under the Constitution, apportioned accord ing to population. .Mr. Berry also advocated tne amendment. ' Four-fifths of the money under the btjl to refund the direct tax would eh to Northern States, and it was but equitable and just that the cotton tax wfiich had fallen wholly on Southern planters should be refunded. "Mr. Brown believed that the cot ton tax should be refunded, and when ever that quastion came up in such shape that h could properly vote for it he would &o eo. But the adoption of the cotton tax amendment would, hei, was convinced, defeat the pending measure, which he believed ought to pass. He fhould, therefore, vote against the amendment - Mr. Morgan expressed his concur rence in the yiews of Mr- Brown. The question of Ahe cotton tax had not been considered by the committee on finance. It was a very serious ques tion, and thee would, be serious dif ficulty found in refunding the cotton tax. The effect of the pending bill would be to remove all causes of heart burning that might be linger lag in the minds of the two sectloos. lie supported it because of its mer its and he did not desire to have it connected wib any other great prop osition which would embarrass its passage. ti ' The proposition ottered by the sen ator from Nofth Carolina was a very disputed one. If the people of the South had thi Constitutional right to claim a refunding of the cotton tax he would support the claim, but he would never set up -an equitable claim to it, for after all, it was the right of the. United State Govern- ment irom its standpoint mat me dissolution of the Union by the se cession of States was impossible, to tax the people of the South. He was not prepared to give a definite opin ion' on the Constitutionality of the cotton tax and would therefore sus tain the position of the Senator from Georgia (Brown) Mr. Vance. said that the amend ment had not' been offered by bim for the purpose of defeating the bill, but he Could not gee why, if one tax were refunded, the other should not also be refunded. Mr. Beck ssd he favored the bill a j t 1 as a measure ,01 justice dui argueu that it should not be encumbered with anv thine else. Mr. Voorbees also regarded tne amendment as one which i adopted woald defeat the bil which ne regarded as an an entirely jst .measure and very creditable to the gentleman who had been most active -and prominent in bringing it forward. He would look upon his vote lor the amendment as being a vote against the bill. Mr. Hampton stated some facts to show that the fctate of S. C. had act ually been made to pay some $700,000 while her quota of direct tax was on ly $303,000 Mr Sherman admitted tne facts but said that tbe finance committee had 'thought beat not to deal with the matter further than refunding: the actual money received by the U. S. Mr. Hampton asked to be and was excused from voting on the amend meni, because'be was directly interest ed in it.

THE BLAIR BILI,. The Blair educational bill was then taken up and Mr. Brown addressed the Senate in support of it, stating that its defeat would be received with great regret throughout the whole Southern section of the country.

But he (Brown) could not concur with his friend from Missouri on the possibility of a veto. Two of the men whom the President had called to his cabinet (Lamar and Garland) had supported the bill while they were members of the Senate, ine Senator from Indiana (Voorhees), who had ro- cehtly made an able and eloquent de- tion, endorsed and sustained the Con stitutionality of the bill. ' If, therefore, the President might be judged by his actions and by his appointments to high position of men who unequivocally sustained the Con stitutionality of the bill, there was nothing to be feared from an execu tive veto. But even if there was, it was the duty of the Senate to act upon its own judgment. He had no doubt about either the Constitution ality or the neceisity and the sound policy of the measure. Mr. Ulair continued nis speecn in support of the bill, reading exten sively from communications received by him from teachers and persons of influence in the Southern States, in the course of his speech he com plained that many newspapers throughout the country nad criticized his bill in an unfair and unfriendly manner. After speaking for about an hour and a half, he yielded for a motion to adjourn, and at 4 50 the Senate ad journed. ! HOUSE. Washing ton, Jan. 18 After the reading of the journal, the Speaker pro tern called the House to order and said: "I desire to say, in order to allay uneasiness and apprehension about the condition of our honored Speaker, that he is in process of rapid recovery and that the occasion which calls the present occupant to the chair will, happily, I trust, rapidly pass away.

On motion of Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, a resolution was adopted providing for the printing of 10,000 extra copies of the reports of the Pacific railroad commission and mes sage of the President thereon. The House then, after briefly considering it in committee of the whole, passed the agricultural experiment station bill. It appropriated $585,000 to carry into effect last year's bill, pro viding for such stations in connection with State Agricultural colleges.

He raised the question of consideration and the house determined-yeas 150,rnaye 65 to consider the bill. Filibustering motions were thflh Rubmitted.

JUSTICE LAMAR TAKES THE OATH OF OFFICE AND HIS PLACE ON THE BENCH THE SIM PLICITY or; his induction other KEWS BT WIRE. Washington, Jan. 18. The Su preme Court of the United States sits with a full bench today for the first time, since the fourth of May, 1885. Mr. Lamar reached the capitol a little after eleven o'clock this morn ing and proceeded to the Justices' room of the Supreme Court, where the oath of office, the ordinary modified oath, was administered to him in private. The judicial oath was administered in public immediately after the day's business opened. The small space reserved for the general public .was 'crowded with strangers, but the space within the enclosure re served for the bar contained only a few more than the UHual number of lawyers. Among the people of note present were the Attorney General and the new" Secretary of the Inte rior,' Vilas. The judges in their black silk robes filed into the chamber in solemn, procession at twelve o'clock and the assemblage, at the tap of the marshal's gavel, arose respectfully and remained standing until the members of the court had taken their places. Mr. Lamar, clad in a well fitting suit of black, followed the court and took his seat beside Clerk McKenny at the right of the bench. The Chief Jus tice announced that the first proceed ing of the court would be the reading of the commission of Mr. Lamar and the administration of the oath. The commission was thereupon handed to i he clerk, who; read it, piter which Mr. Lamar read impressively from manu script the judicial oath as follows: "I, L. Q. C. Lamar, do solemnly swear that I will administer justice without respect to persons and equal right to poor and tp rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent on me as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States according to the best of my ability and Understanding, agreeably to the Constitution and the laws of the United States; so help me God." He took the Bible as he uttered the last sentence, and at the end solemnly kissed it. He was then escorted be hind the screen which extends the length of the bench behind the chairs of the Justices, and after a minute's delay reappeared at the left, clad in a new robe of black silk. The court and assemblage arose, the new justice bowed to his associates and then to the bar and the public, and took his seat in the chair of the junior justice at the extreme left o' the bench. The court then proceeded nary routine business. with its ordi- Speaker Carlisle's Condition. Washington,! Jan. 18 At 1145 o'clock this morning Dr. Sowers sta ted to an Associated Press reporter that Speaker Carlisle rested very well during the night and awoke this morning considerably refreshed. When the doctor called at 11 o'clock he found him sitting up in bed eating a light breakfast, and he seemed to be in the best of spirits. During the visit the Speaker enquired whether he would be able to keep his Macon engagements oh the 23d and 24th of the present month. The doctor re plied that it was quite out of the question. He might stand the trip but it would be hazardous in the ex treme and he would advise that the en gagements be cancelled, as he could not think of permitting the fatiguing journey in his debilitated condition. Thus advised, the Speaker requested the doctor to announce to the press that for the reasons stated he would not be able to fill the engagements, much to his regret.

PARRISH 3 WAREHOUSE OPENING SALE $20,000 CHANGES HANDS ELOQUENT SPEECHES OTHER NOTES, AC. Staff Correspondence. Hotel Claiborne, Durham, N. C , Jan. 18, 1888. Yesterday will live as the begin ning of a new era in Durham's his tory. Capt. E. J. Parrish threw his new tobacco warehouse open to the tobacco world. As advertised, the grand opening sales begun on yester day, the 17th. Early on Saturday wagons loaded down to the hurricane deck with the beautiful golden-colored weed began to arrive, and all day Monday and Tuesday they continued to come, wagon after wagon, looking to the old soldier like a fumi'.iar wagon train; tho rain and hail and sleet covered ground did not prevent the farmers from ro?pondtncr to the invitation of the populur Capt. Pur rieh to "come home'' atid participate in the grand opening salen. '1 buy were there. TUB FAKRI-M WAKKHOCSK is among the largest build'ngs of its kind in the country, conUiuing all the improvements that good judg ment and experience coukl suggest. The building covers nearly a La'f acre of ground, is 205 feet long and 120 feat brbad, has 140 solid sky lights in the roof, making overy pile of tobacco in the house show up equally well and to the tobacconist's entire satisfaction. The front of the building contains two largo well ar ranged private offices with comfort able rooms above where the weary farmers may rest in perfect comfort and enjoyment. There is a well-built stable containing 200 stalls, and also an extra building with 100 more near by the warehouse, erected expressly for the use of farmers. the sale Opened with the largest displr y of tobacco ever offered on any warehouse floor in Durham before. There were 1,200 piles on the floor, and 8'J loaded wagons were left waiting for want of room wi.en the sale commenced. Be fore commencing sales auctioneer Z. T. Broughton was presented with a bouquet of lovely flowers, then James F. Lyon, Esq , a prominent farmer, mounted a pile of tobacco and directing his remarks to Capt. t'ar risb, announced that as farmeis gen erally were unaccustomed to epeech-making the Hon Caleb B. Green had been selected to do their talking for them. Mr. Green said he felt honored iu be ing the chosen representative cf the farmers of middle Carolina. Had it been left to him, this honor would have fallen on tho agriculturist and not on him; they wt-re the bone and sinew of this country; he had rather represent '.hese good men than poten tates aad kings; whatever tended to their promotion jpet with his hearti est Bupport. He spoke of the time when, twelve or fourteen years ago, Capt. Parrish, without money, influ ence or experience in the tobacco business, had opened a warehouse in Durham; how he had watched his manly efforts from a small beginning to this magnificent succes. He spoke of the large brick warehouse of Capt. Parrish which stood near the site of this one, and of its destruction by the fire of November, 1886, which laid so much of Durham in ashes, and how the sympathy of the farmers went out to him in his great trouble and loss. Mr. Green closed his speech by paying Capt. Parrish the highest praise and thanking him in behalf of the farmers for all he had done for them, predicting for him the bright est future. This speech was deliv ered in Mr. Green's usual graceful and eloquent style, every allusion to Capt Parrish being vociferojjsly ap plauded. "-s At the close of his speech, Mr. Green, in behalf of the farmers, pre sented Capt. Parrish with a hand some suit of clothes, to be known as his 'buying suit." After the playing of "Dixie" by the "Durham Light In fantry Band," and in response to loud calls, Capt. Parrish, in the most feeliDg manner, thanked his kind friends for this unexpected remem brance, regretting that he had not time to speak as the promptings of his heart dictated. He said it is al ways the unexpected that gives the greatest pleasure, and it was so in this instance. He reviewed the history of Durham and spoke without egotism of the part he had played, and prom ised the farmers that whatever energy and talent he possessed were at their command. He closed with a magnifi cent resume of the business of Dur ham, and pictured its future iu the brightest colors. Capt. Parrish has many of the elements of the ora tor. His style is easy, graceful and fluent. He is about six feet high, and has a soldierly car riage, his physique being very fine and commanding. He is quite hand some and ia only forty-two jeers old. He is Captain of the Durham L'ght Infantry, one of the best military companies in the State Guard. Capt- Parrish said in his speech to the farmers that he sold more pounds of tobacco in 1886 than any other warehouseman in North Carolina. He is estimated to be worth now about $75,000. After these speeches and mutual congratulations the band played sev eral stirring airs. Capt. Parrish an nounced that Col. Henry A. Iieams,the man who opened the first warehouse in Durham and whoso auctioneer he then was, had consented to open these sales by auctioneering off the first pile of tobacco. This first pile of golden-colored beauty, raised by Mr John S. Williams, of Chatham, was bid off by Col. Tom D. Jones, of Dur ham, for $2 50 per pound. Three cheers from the throats of eight hun dred people present made the welkin ring. The next pile, raised by Mr. xv J. Bowling, of Chatham, was bought by Mr. Walker for $5 per pound, and the third was knocked down at $105 per pound ! Pinhookers were in their elorv and as busy as bees. It is estimated that at least $20,000 worth of tobacco was sold on this occasion. Capt. Parrish has great cause.to congratulate himself on his grand success. other notes. The sympathy of every one goes out to Mr. John 0. Angier in his nnauciai troubles, lie ban surren dered everything he owned, in$ud- ing his personal and teal estatf. to his creditors.
