Duncan K , McRae, which, as elsewhere appears, occurred in Brooklyn Sunday night, the State loses one of the most bril liant men it has ever produced. As is said in the brief telegram bringing the sad news of hio decease, Col. Mc Rae was distinguished as lawyer, 'advo cate, politician and soldier. His genius was superb and rendered its posses sor charming as an orator, keen in debate, singularly forcible and incis ive in all efforts at the bar and in the forum. His splendid natural gifts he had cultivated assiduously bo that he was one of the most polished of men intellectually and with all the graces of manner that can well, be at tained. During the war he distinguished himself for gallantry, his courage in deed amounting almost to ' reckless ness. He was a stranger absolutely to anything in the nature of fear while at the same time as gentle and refined in his instincts as a woman. He has reflected great credit on the State by the extraordinary brilliancy of his talent and we hurriedly pay this tribute to his memory in the hope that we may be able to do more, ample justice to his merits in a sub sequent issue. HENDERSON. DETERMINED SOT TO BE BEHIND IN THE MAUCH OF PROGRESS. Cor. of the News and Observer. 'r Hesdebsox, N. C, Feb. 13. We are determined not to be be hind in the march of progress and this is widened by the fact that we have organized a military company and will have electric lights and a Chamber of Commerce in the near future, while our tobacco market in activity is always to the forefront. : The Ii. & G. Co. are making an ex tension of their warehouse here, a covered shed 35x105 feet, of such an elevation that drays may conven iently load and unload. This will be duly appreciated by our citizens i The draymen, both Mr. Burwell's and Mr. tatterwhite's, went on a strike this morning, but the matter was soon adjusted, the proprietors allowing them a little advance in wages. There were eleven of them ind all are retained, I believe, except, probably, two. ;: This is the only strike which has ever come to my knowledge in our town. H. i '. m l Six Prisoners Escaped.

R- . WilmlnKtoaNata. Cor. of the News and Observer. WlLMlSGTOH, Deb. 11, 1888 The straocer that comes to Wil- mincton must be struck with the fre ouencv of entertainments given for church DUTDOses. mere were iour entertainments of this character con ducted here during the last week, one of them la-ting for three successive niifhts. It was for Grace Methodist church, and is said to have been ex cellent in its art appointments. The cross proceeds exceeded f 1,000. When tne ueinoaisis iosi inmr house of worship in the big fire, the Jews, inasmuch as tnev do not use their synapogrue on Sundays, lmmedi ately offered it to the unfortunate congTecation. It struck me as being an act that would grace many wno claim more Christian virtues than are usually aecorded this traduced race. The act was appreciated by tne Methodists, for the Rabbi and his wife have recently been the recipients of presents from the grateful flock of Mr. Creasy. The proposition for an encampment of the State Guard in or near this city, during . the coming summer, meets with very general approval here. It would no doubt do much towards building up in other parts of the State an interest in Wilmington which some claim to be totally lack ing now. The Star suggests a good idea, viz: to run excursions from all sections of the S ate during the time of encampment. Would it not be well to have also a popular lecture. giving somewhat of a history of the State Guard and showing the practi cal uses of such an organization! And whv not request Col. A. M. Waddell to portray the capture of Fort Fisher as he did at Richmond last October? Two such lectures would be an inspi ration. sThe railroad election to be held here on the first of March is certainly attracting very little attention as yet to be of as much importance as it is tc the city.

Senate Mr. Riddleberger's fight against secret sessions in general and against the British extradition treaty in par ticular was recognized in the shape of a large and very handsome floral harp which was placed on his desk this morning by the Irish society called the Clan na Gael. Among the patents and memorials presented and referred were the fol lowing: To place on the free list books printed in any of the modern languages; to amend the patent laws; for an international copyright law. Among the bills reported from committees and placed on-the calen dar was one" appropriating $10,000 for the sub tropical exposition at Jacksonville, F1p. Among the bills introduced and referred was one by Mr. Piatt to pay for the passage of den. Lafayette and his family from Franco to the United States as the guests of the nation in 1824. By Mr. Vest, to fix the number of documents printed by Congress and knbwn as "ihe usual number" at sev en hundred and to specify the num ber of certain other documents to be printed. Mr. Morgan offere.l a reaolution which was laid over, instructing the judiciary committee to inquire and report whether Congress has the power to enact laws to prohibit with in the States the adulteration of food, and whether if such power exists it is a part of the power of taxation or results from the power to regulate commerce between the States. The Senate then proceeded to the consideration of the Blair educational bill, and was addressed by Mr. Plumb in opposition to it. -The bill was laid a&ide and the res olution in regard to the inefficiency of the postal service was taken up. Mr. Reagan rgain addressed the Senate in defence of the ad minis era tion of the postoffioe department and argued that Senators who had ar raigned that administration had been misled by false clamor, or that iD consequence of the economy and conspicuously good management of the department it has been thought necessary for political purposes to offset its effect by getting up charges of inefficiency. In the course of his argument he undertook to repel the assertion that very numerous re movals from office in the department r - - and he gave the names of a number of postmasters who had left office by resignation Mr. Hoar asked Mr. Reagan whether he really claimed or believed the res ignations were voluntary were not commanded by the President. Mr. Reagan replied tba his only source of information on the subject was the report of he Postmaster General, in which he speaks of these as "voluntary resignations." There had been very few removals for polit ical reasons and these few were for active offensive partisanship. Mr. Hoar remarked that the state ment showed a very extraordinary instance of voluntary resignations of office. Mr. Reagan : "No doubt the Post master-General has done a great many things which seem very extra ordinary to the Senator from Massa chusetts. Mr Hoar: "A great many." Senators Cbace and Aldrich en deavored without success to get Mr. Reagan to state why the postmaster of Providence, R. I ,had been removed from office iu the face of the fact that the management of that postoffice had been highly approved by the Postmaster General. The resolution went over and the Senate adjourned. bouse. Mr Brower, of North Carolina, in troduced a resolution instructing the committee on ways and means to re port what progress it has made in the consideration of the bills to repeal the internal revenue taxes and to state at what time such bills are likely to be reported to the House. In case the committee is unable to agree upon these bills it is instructed to report that tact to tne Mouse ana the bills shall be placed on the calen dar. ? Bdls were introduced by Mr. Town- shend permitting farmers and pro ducers of tobacco to sell leaf tobacco in any quantity to unlicensed dealers, or to any person wunout restriction, and repealing all laws inconsistent therewith. A number of publio bills were in troduced, among them one for Pensa cola, Fia. The House then proceeded to the consideration of bills relating to the District of Columbia. The first bill called up was one punishing the advertising of lottery tickets in the District of Columbia. It was opposed by Mr. Rogers, of Arkansas, upon constitutional grounds. "The bill would," he said, "prevent any paper, no matter where published, from coming into the Dis trict, and would infringe the liberty of the press. Mri Hemphill, of South Carolina, did nbt agree 'hat, the provisions of the bill applied to any paper pub lished outside of the District, but ad mitted that it was a question upon which the best lawyers might diner. Mr. Compton declared that he was not an advocate of lotteries,buthe did not believe that souls could be sent to heave n by compulsory legislation. Society could only be regenerated by the principles inculcated by Christian methods. Mr; Browne, of Iudiaua, said that, according to his interpretation of the bill, its provisions applied as much io papers published m Maryland o New York, circuiting iu the District of Columbia, as to paptrs published in the District, cf C.Uinjli. but with that interpret at icu -n.l.ted tbe bill fully Bil l without n-s- i vai ion Mr. Crain.cf Tons' , tock i-s.iowith the argument tba'. erory icteaoe chance was m'Cfsuurily a crima. He did not believe that alottery which was authorized by the organic law of a State of the Union belonged to the category of crime. Mr. Cummingp, of Now York, look ing at the bill, not ai a lawyer but aa a man who pretended to have a modicum of common senso, thought that there was too. much law in it. In tryiDg to correct ad admitted evil the House was opening the doors to greater evils. The bill appeared to contain some of tbe ashes of the old alien and sedition laws. Those laws not only in terfered with the liberty of the press, but also interfered, as the pend ing bill did, with the liberty of the person ;. nor was this the first time that these ashes had been stirred up by Congress. They had been stirred under the administration of Grant when the Unitd States Senate bad passed the bill to abridge the free dom of the prebB. Under the pro visions of that bill the editor of the most obscure newspaper in the most obscure corner of the most obscure State could be dragged to the Dis trict of Columbia and bo subjec ed to tine and imprisonment by pettv local tribunals. There was the same feed in this bill. It not only trampled on the freedom of the press and of the person, but it trampled on the rights of the States. Thfl bill was clear in its provisjons. It Rpplied un doubtedly to the papers published outside but circulating iu. the dis trict of Columbia. If CoDgr;ss had the right to prescribe what chouid be printed in the advertisement column of a newspaper, it had the right to exercise ceusorbhip over the edito rial and news columns. Congress was then to exercise editorial supervision over the entire press Who was to be the editor T The distinguished gen tleman at the other end of the ave nue ? Who was to be the city editor f Was it to be the Speaker of the House ? Who were to be the reporters ? The chairmen of the commi'teeB? Where was the editorial supervision to end r The House was playing with fire. It had better blow out the ma ch and avoid a conflagration. Mr. Oates, of Alabama, hought the Dill applied only to papers published in the District of Columbia, and on this ground he opposed it as creating an unjust discrimination. Mr. Dougherty, of Florida, oppos ed the measure lor similar reasons. If Congress could establish a censor ship of the press which would pre vent reporters lying nbout public men and private individuals he for one would certainly vote to do so, be cause he had never seen anything so offensive to the sense of public u.oral- ifjjlkW.MtJldiMtisejpeijjua. he newspaper reporters published as facts. If Congress could pass a bill which would require editors and re porters to confine themselves to the statement of ficts instead of to pub lishing their individual opinions as fact it would redound to the good and welfare of all the people. Mr. Latham, of North Carolina, while expressing his bitter hostility to lotteries, denied the power of Con gress to enact legislation to diffuse morality among the human iace. On motion of Mr. Crain the bill was referred to the committee on the judiciary yeas 117, nays 115. Adjourned ROSS WINS THE SCULLING RACE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF ENGLAND. THE CHALLENGE CCP FOUR ASD THE STAKE OF HUNDRED POUNDS. London, Feb. 13. The sculling race between Wallace Ross, of Amer ica, and Geo. Bubear, of England, for the championship of England, the challenge cup and the stake of 400 took place today over the Thames course from Putney to Mortlake. Ross won by two lengths. Ross had the sunny side of the river and led throughout. At Hammersmith, two miles from the start, he was ten lengths ahead. He then eased up and won, by six lengths. Time, 23 minutes 16 seconds. A Disastrous Flr. St. Paul, Feb. 13 Another disas trous fire visited the wholesale dis trict this morning. .About G o'clock the mercurial alarm iu tbe Ryan block called the fire department to the cor ner of East Third street and Wa couta. The two upper stories of that portion of the building occupied by Fpote, Schulz & Co., were filled with smoke. The Ryan building is imme diately opposite the building which was burned several weeks ago, entail ing arloB8 of $300,000 and whose rums are etui bmoldering. Despite the efforts to suppress it, the fire soon had possession of the entire por tion occupied by Foote, Schulz 3c Co. The Ryan block fronts on Third street, with a frontage of about 160 feet, and runs back to an. alley on Wacouta street, a distance of about 140 feet. -The block is five stories in height and numbers 225, 227 and 229 East Third street. The Ryan Drug Company occupy Nos. 225 and 227, with a wholesale drug store. Foote, Schulz & Co. occupy No. 229 with boots and shoes. The latter firm have a Third street frontage of fifty fet. The fourth and fifth floors are used for the manufacture of boots and shoes; The fire, as nearly as could be judged by the firemen, orig inated on the fifth floor. At no time was there any blaze to be noticed, the dense volume of smoke prevent ing the firemen from getting through tbe several floors. Ihe Ryan Drug Company, next door to the fire, will be damaged as well as attaches could tell, about $30,000, wholly by water and smoke. The company car ries a stock valued at $160,000, which is fully insured Mr. Schulz, of Foote, Schulz & Co., said this morning that his firm carried a stock of $250,000 or $300,000. ' The insurance on their tock would be about $270,000 or per haps $290,000. The probabili y at and also the Btock would be a total oss. No one could advance a the ory as to the origin of the fire. J. J. Watson, tiro. & ilyndman placed tne en ire insurance on the building, the amount being $350,000. From pres ent indications only the walla of the building will be left- A part of the $290 000 insurance on Foote, Schulz & Co. 'a stock is placed as follows The Fire and Marine placed $20,000 and the Need & Lawrence $48,500. There is $120,000 insurance on the machinery in the manuiacturing de partment. . Sherman on Blaine's Utterance. Chicago, Feb 13 A Columbus, O- special save: "John Sherman, who is in the city, on hearing hat Blaine would not allow his name to be used before the Chicago convention, said that he had been expecting some such utterance from Blaine for some time. He bad understood it would be forth coming. Blaine was one of the fore most Americans,whom every Republi can would have delighted to honor and it was a source of regret that he had concluded not to make the race again Sherman did not care to talk much about the Blaine letter and thought it would cause a number of other can didates to come to the front. He proposed to make the race for the Ohio delegation and would contest honorably for the nomination. Blaine waS a liepuDiican wno couiu sweep the country if nominated, but he had understood all along that he would not apftin seek the nomination. It was on this hypothesis that he (Sher man) had entered the lists. Washington !" Washington, Feb. 13 The Court of Clim8 today rendered a decision sustaining the legality of Secretary Chandlers action in discharging witn one year's pay, from June 30, 1885, about forty cadet midshipmen who had served a six years course at tne Naval Academy and at sea for whom no vacancies existed in the service at the time of their graduation. The question arose on a suit of Eugene M. Harmon for salary as Cadet Mid shipman from the date of his discharge up to the time of filing his claim, November 1, 1887. The court held that the Secretary acted with full authority of law in the matter and dismissed the case. The President today nominated Alexander McCue, of New York, to be Assistant Treasurer of tho United States at New York City in place of Charles J. Canda, resigned. Fernan do J.

Forty tho us mJ perse na were as ambled thare. The Pittsburg Commercial Gazette yesterdty published tbe following : Mr. B. r. Jones, chairman of the national Republican committee, has received a letter from Mr. Blaine de clining to allow his name to be pre sented to the National Republican Convention as a candidate for the Presidential nomination. Mr. Jones, when asked whether Mr. Blaine's de clination would prevent his friends from nominating him anyhow, said : "As I am chairman of the national committee I do not think it would be proper for me to have anything to say on that subject." "Do you think Mr. Blaine would accept the nomination if tendered to him t" 'I have no authority to speak for Mr. Blaine and have no conjectures to offer on. the subject. The letter speaks for itself and I must decline to be interviewed on this question." The following is Mr. Blaine's letter in full : Florence, Italy, Jan. 25, 1888, B. F. Jones, Esq , Chan man of the Republican National Committee' Sir: I wish through you to state to the members of the Republican party that my name will not be presented to the national convention called to assemble in Chicago in June next for the nomination of candidates for President and Vice-President of the United States. I am constrained to this decision by considerations en tirely personal to myself, of which you were advised more than a year ago. But 1 cannot make the an nouncement without giving expres sion to my deep sense of gratitude to the many thousands of my country men who have sustained me so long and so cordially that their feeling has seemed to go beyond the ordinary political adherence of fellow parti sans and to partake somewhat of the nature of personal attachment. For this most generous loyalty of friend ship I can make no adequate return but I shall carrv the memory of it while life lasts. Nor can I refrain from congratulating the Republican party upon' the cheering prospects which distinguishes the opening of the national contest of 1888 as com pared with that of 1884. In 1882 the Republican party throughout the Union met with a disastrous defeat Ten bUtes that had supported Gar field and Arthur in the election of 1880 were carried by the Democrats either by majorities or pluralities The Republican loss in the Northern election, compared with the preceding national election, exceeded half a mil lion votes, and the electoral votes of the Union, divided on the basis of the result of 1882, gave to the Dem ociats over three hundred else tors out of a total of 40L There was partial reaction in favor of the Re publicans in the; elections of 1883;' but the Democrats still held posses sion of seven Northern States, and on the basis of the year's contest could show more than 100 majority in the electoral colleges of the whole coun try. But against the discourage DjeDt naturally following the adverse elec tions of these two years the spirit of the Republican party in the national contest of 1884 rose high, and the Republican masses entered into the campaign with such energy that the final result depended on the vote of a single State, and that State was car ried by the Democratic party by a plurality bo small that it represented less than one eleventh of one percent of the entire vote. The change of a single vote in every 2 000 of the total poll would have given the State to the Republicans, ; though only two years before the Democratic plurality exceeded 192,000. : "Tbe elections of 188G and 1887 have demonstrated growing streegth in ttrb Republican ranks. Seldom in our politicial history has a party e feated in a national election rallied immediately with such vigor as have the republicans since 1884. No com parison is possible; bet ween the spirit of 'he party in 1882-3 aL.d its spirit in 1886-7, The two periods present simply a contrast the one of gener al depression, the o her of enthusias tic revival. Should the party gain in the results of 1888 over these of losb- in any tmng itke tne propor tion of the gain of 1884 over 1882-3 it would secure one of the most re markable victories bf its entire exist ence. But victory does not depend on so large a ratio: of increase; the party has only to maintain relatively its prestige of 1876 7 to give to its national candidate every Northern State but one, with far better prospect of carrying that one than it has had for the past six years. Another feature of the politi cal situation should inspire Republi cans with irresistible strength. The present national administration was elected with, if not upon the re peated assertions of its leading sup porters in every protection State, that no issue on the tariff was in volved. However earnestly Republi cans urged that question as the one of controlling importance in the cam paign, they were met by the Demo cratic leaders and journals with per sistent evasion, concealment and denial. "I hat resource the President has fortunately removed. The issue which the Republicans maintained and the Democrats avoided in 1884 has been prominently and specifically brought forward by the Democratic President and cannot be hidden out of sight in 1888. The country is nowin the en joyment of an industrial system which in a quarter of a century has assured a larger national growth, a more rapid tion of wealth than were ever peiore known to history. : The American people will now be: openly and for mally asked to decide whether this system shall be recklessly abandoned and a new trial be made of an old ex periment, which has uniformly led to uational embarrassment, and wide spread individual distress. On the result of such an issue, fairly pre sented to the popular judgment, there is no room to doubt; One thing only is necessary to as sure success complete harmony and cordial co-operation on the part of all Republicans on the part of both those who aspire to lead and of those who are eager to follow. Ihe duty is not one merelv of honorable devo tion to the party whose record and whose aims are alike great, Dut it is one demanded by the instinct of self- interest, and by the still higher promptings of patriotism. A closer observa ion of the conditions of life among the older! nations gives one a more intense aesire that the American people shall make no mistake in choosing the policy which inspires labor with hope and crowns it with digrity, which gives Batety to capital ana pro tects its increase, wnicn secures po litical power to every citizen, comfort and culture to every" nome. io ima end, not less earnestly and more di rectly as a private citizen than as a public candidate, 1 Shall devote my self, with the confident belief tha' the administration of government will be restored to the party which has de monstrated the purpose and the power to wield it for the unity and the honor of tne repuDiic, ior tne prosperity and progress of the peo ple. I am, very sinceiely, yours, J AMES Kt. DLAIKE. HORRIBLE MURDER OF A COUNTY TREAS URER in his office is texas ms lopy found DECAPITATED OTHER SEWS BT WIRE.
