The Sheriff of Catawba county passed through this plac oddy, hav ing in charge Dan BriiAley and Jno. Lowrance, accused of robbery in Catawba county. The sheriff arret ed them in Charlotte on the Augusta train going South. Thecharge against thetn is that on Sunday night, Feb ruary 12 h, inst , they entered the hoiiso of Daniel Smith, aa aged citi zen of Catawba county, and, by draw ing: their pistols upon him, forced him to give them Lis money. On the next day, the 13th, in the same county and fifteen miles distant from the former place , the fame parties met a colored man named Reed, from Caldwell county, who was ped dling fruit. 1 be colored man was at the time in his wagon on the public highway Brinkley and Lowrance bought a dozen apples from the col ored man and then proposed to Bwap pistols with him. They handed the colored man a pistol which was un loaded, for examination, and took his, apparently for the same purpose. Hating thus possessed themselves of theweapon of ihe peddler they forced him at their pistols' point to give up what money he had and then permit ted him to go his way. The parties thus charged were not afterwards heard from until they were arrested in Charlotte, as above stated. An Antgameal. Special to the News and Observer. I Wiiaiamstox,, N. C , Feb. 15. J S.

Jones, chairmaa of the Republican national committee, was interviewed by a Pittsburg repor ter j Monday afternoon on Mr. Blaine's letter of declination. Mr. Jones stated that Mr. Blaine was in the best of health and it was not for this rtason that h declined a reuomi nattpn. ; "His trip," said he, "has been wonderfully beneficial. I have had many Lstters from him, and in neatly all of them he .has spoken of his health and said he was entirely recovered. No, Bir, it is not ill healtb, nor the fear of the result, or the worry and strain of another cam paign which impelled Mr. Blaine to write that letter." 'Will yon tell me what Mr. Blaine's reasons are?" "As given to me at ihe time to which Mr. Blaine refers, the reasons were these: Before the nomination by the Republicans in 1876 Mr. Blaine waa very anxious to obtain the Presi dency, and worked for it with the aid of his friends. . He was disappointed when it Went to another man in the manner it did. In 1880 he was still anxious, although in a lesser degree, and his disappointment waa less marked. In 1884 he had to a great extent lost the desire for the office, and cow withdraws from the contest because he has no wish to become President. He takes a keen interest in literary work and wants rest and quiet. I assure you these are the only reasons for Mr. Blaine's letter that are known to me. Everybody sooner or later loses a desire for something which they were once anxious to obtain, and this is entirely true in the case of Mr. Blaine." "Is not Mr. Blaine's letter some what inconsistent with the action of bis friends, presumably with hia con sent, in working for the control of the' State delegations and commit tees T 'No, sir, it is not inconsistent. No such work has been done by us. Of course, I have received countless let ter! on this subject from people North, South, Hast and West. Mr. Blaine's friends have not sought to Bet; op or secure a single delegate anywnere. we nave made no con certed action, a here has been to meeting to map out a course favora ble to Air. liiaine, ana i assure you that whatever has been done by ad mirers of Mr. Blaine has been done on their own account and not at the instance of his close friends. We have done nothing to secure the nom ination for Mr. Blaine. When people write to me on the subject I send them in reply tbe call of the conven tion as issued by the committee and sotne extracts from the history of ihe convention of 1884 I have written net letters in Mr. Blaine's interest " 'Was this letier laid before any sort of a meeting of bis friends or of ; the national committee?" "It was not- The letter was re ceived by me on Tuesday last, it hav ing come directly from Florence to me. It was entirely in Mr. Blaine's handwriting. As you see by its open ing sentence, it wao intended for the Republican party. I did not tell any body of its existence until Friday. Then I told one man, who assisted me in preparing copies of the letter for thepress.It was not given out on Sat urday because many papers do not print Sunday editions, and I was anxious to give it the widest publicity. I arranged to have it go out by the Associated Press. Even a man as close to Mr. Blaine as Mr. Stephen B Elkins knew nothing of the existence of this letter until this morn-n".

Washington, Feb. 15 Senate Mr. Beck introduced a bill to reim burse the States for the interest paid on the moneys expended in raising troops for the war of the rebellion. Referred. THE BLAIR BILL. The Senate then resumed consider ation of ihe Blair educational bill, and was address d by Mr. Hale in op position. The history of the bi!', he said, and its discussion in the Senate were most interesting. Uu!ikoome measures which, by their inherent strength, gained support from time to time until at last ali opposition disappeared, this bill had developed now antagonism at every f-.tago of consideration In the 48th Cosgreea, when the bill first passed the Senate, the objections to it had been mainly from Sena tors whose strict construction cf the Censtitu ion led them to be lieve that the provisions of the bill violated the fundamental propo sitions of that great instrument. In the 49th Congress the method of distribution of the great fund cov ered by the bill had been assailed, and the discussions at the present session had shown practical objec tions to the bill wider and deeper and going to its entire principle, it was the hard fate of the bill that as time went on less and less necessity was seen for its enactment and more and more objections were raided to its provisions, tie was bound to say that the aroused expression of public esen timent North and South on the bill and the renewed evidences of accord with bis colleague's vote against the bill last Congress had not been un velcome. Iu this connection he re ferred to an editorial article in the Portland Press and to tbe statements of several distinguished pro fessors of colleges and 6chool teachers in various parts of the country adverse to the bill, noticing particularly the dictum of G011. Arm strong, of Portsmouth, Va , tunt the bill would destroy in the Southern States that education which comes from self. If it were deterinimd, after full consideration, with a plethora of revenue and an accumulation in the treasury, that the government should embark in the tank of distributing a portion of it to the different States, then the State of Maine, instead of being taxed to help other States, ought to receive a portion of the fund, and he therefore favored the amendment offered by Mr. Plumb, which covered that provision. A paper contributed by a constitu tional lawyer on the constitutional objections to the bill was read by ilr. Morgan, and after a brief speech by Mr. Saulsbury against the bill, the debate was closed by Mr. Blair in final argument in advocation of the bill. Much of what had been said in the discussion had been, he claimed, en tirely outside of the real question at issue. As to the idea that the passage of the bill would destroy the prin ciple of self-help, it was the utterest absurdity. What generation, he asked, ever educated itself? The bill had been characterized by college professors and college presidents as a bill to promote mendicancy These college professors and presidents were themselves the most consum mate beggars on the face of the earth and Gen. Armstrong was the greatest beggar of the whole. It was because college presiden s were such accom plished and successful beggars that there was such superior education in this country, and it wjs because Gen. Armstrong was a great and success ful beggar that he had established an institution at Hampton which was the glory of the Slate and of the cjuntry. He closed with a cputeaip'uous al lusion to the "educated, cultivated, cold btootred college professors of the North." The debate closed at 3 o'clock, and ihe Senate proceeded to voto on -the bill aud amendments. Mr. Plumb offered an amendment providing, hat the money suouid be anuually divided anion? tbe several States and Territories and the Dis trict of vJoluinbia, in proportion to tbeir population between the a"es of 10 aud 21, as shown by the cen-.ua.

There never had been a time, however, when he was not opposed to it, and but for the instruction of the legislature and for his own plighted word he would have voted today agaicst the bill.

By Mr. Bank, of Alabama, for a public building at Columbus, G. M r.

Adopted. The House ihen went into commit tee of the who.e on the urgent de ficiency bill. The items for the various ex penses connected with the de partment came in for a good deal of criticism, in the course of which Mr. Rindall said the pur pose of the committee on appropria tions in calling attention to this' mat ter was to bring the people to what was necessary in this connection. Tho committee on judiciary should frame some soit of an amendment to the statute law which would pre vent the gross injustice which was done to innocent and uuufft-ndiLg citizens by trivial : prosecutions Many of these pro.sei unions, as was said by the gentlemm from Mis souri bournes), came under tbe inter nal revenue laws. By all means they should be abolished. (Applause), fhe time had come when these wrongs should be duly considered, and he hoped the judiciary commit tee and the treutleaiau from Atkansas (Rogrs), as a member of that com mittee, would take a hand in the work. A wink whs sometimes as good as a nod o a blind borfe. (Laughter.) Mr. tc.ogers : I sometimes take a wink, but when I wiuk I wink at the tariff. (Laughter.) ' Mr. Randall : All ri.-Lt ; wj will wiuk together, maybe. (Laughter aud applause.) Mr. Barnes said that he would never cease denouncing the horrors aud evils perpetrated in the name of the internal revenue law. At the pameAime be wished to siy to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Randall) and the country that Le would revise the burdens of tariff taxation and reduce the taxes on some of the necessaries bf life before he would undertake to lessen the internal revenue tax. (Ap plause). Mr. Herbert attacked the fee sys tem as tbe cause of the evils com plained of, aud he appealed to the judiciary commit en to bring in a bill which would remedy thote evils. Mr. Burnes stated that the com mittee on appropriations was in re ceipt of estimates of the appropri ations for the completion of pub lic buildings in various parts of tbe country. As in every case the ea timates exceeded the limits fixed by law, the committee could'uot, un der the rules, incorporate the items iu tlm il.

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN A MASSACHUSETTS TOWN. North Wilbraham, Feb. 15 The extensive works of the Collins Paper Manufacturing Company caught fire thi9 morning arid will.probably be de stroyed. Ihe fire was discovered a 3 a. m , in the fifth story where the e orace department is located. The rlduies soon spread to the elevator shaft and then made rapid progress. The village is without adequate fire protection and aid from Springfield was HSted- About 4.20 steamer No. 2 f Springfield arrived by special train. By this time, however, the flames had become master of the situation and tbe main part of the factory was de stroyed. AIL that could be done was to use every precaution to save the adjacent structures which were the homes of a large number of operatives who will be thrown out of employment. The large factory was equipped with au'omatic sprinklers in the fifth story but they f illed to work. The Iojs will be heavy. The main building was two hundred feet long, siity wide, five stories high and had large exten sions.

C , Feb. 14. They are still talking about Blaine's Florence letter. Some are expecting a cablegram to Chairman Jones say ing, "Burn that letter." Others re peat and insist that Blaine is in dead earnest, and that the "personal con siderations which have influenced him in declining the nomii a tion will prevent his acceptance of it. Pro nounced onti Blaine Republicans say that Blaine must be taken at his word and that the party is not to be trifled with. The Sherman men are very positive that under no circumstances can Blaine be the nominee of the Chicago convention. Democratj have about reached the logical conclusion that Blaine is frightened, badly fright ened. It has been made plain to him. they say, that he cannot beat Cleve land iu New York, and, of course, that ends his candidacy. Nobody evtr took the Pluined Knight to Le a fool or ever supposed him to be lackicg in political sagacity. JOHN SHERMAN. John Sherman is beside himself. He has completely lost his head. He already imagines himself in the White House ' He says that he is a candi date and that he expec's to wn the nomination. Ha seems to have a monopoly of this opinion. That he has a respectable following cannot be doubted. That he is making a her culean effort to secure the nomination is self-evident. And he may win. But what sort of a candidate would he make 1 Take tbe Internal Revenue ques ion, for instance. Only a few days ago he said : these .internal revenue) taxes ought to be left as a part of our permanent system of taxation as long as 'any other taxes, internal or exter na!, more oppressive remain on the statute books. Of the special tax which the high-tariff men would abol ish to save their bounties Mr. - Sher man then said: 'This tobacco tax, of all others, is the easiest collected, the most ceytain, increasing constantly from year to year, dependent upon an appetite that will be indulged no matter what may ba the tax a tax that has been more stable than any other. No amount of tax likely to be put upon tobacco will prevent its be ing chewed aud stnwked and snuffed. In all other countries wnere taxation prevails this is a favorite subject of taxation I say tbe tax on tobacco does not diminish the price to the farmer who raise? it. And I say ws are throwing off a tax wich, by the judgment of all nations, is the best source of tax ation." : ' Referring to tho necessity of tax reduction, which: was less imperative in 1882 than it now is, Senator Sher man declared : "There is no sentiment in this country stronger now than that Con gress has neglected its duty thus far in not repealing taxes that are obnox ious to the people, and unnecessary for public use; and if we should still neglect that duty we should be prop erly held responsible by our own constituents.- Now, sir, for one, I am determined that this Bin shall, not lay at my door." Anticipating the raising of the "Free Trade" cry, in which be now joins, he truly said : "it is, therefore, simply an absurd ity to talk now about a free-trade tariff, and to talk about a protective tariff is unnecessary, because he wit of man could not possibly frame a tariff that would produce $140,000, 000 in gold without amply protecting our domestic industry." "Why should not the Democrats consider him the easiest mn to beat in the Republican party " said Sena tor Kenna today. . Truly, why not ? NICHOLS DENIES THE SOFT IMPEACHMENT. John Nichols is not a candidate for Governor. He 'denies the soft im peachment moaf emphatically. His ambition is to come back to Congress from tHe Metropolitan district. Ht, wants to show the country that his recent election was not an accident. There are about 8,000 Knights of Labor in his district and they are interested, he says, in his return to Congress. He ba) Written to his friends all over the district that he is not a candidate for Gov ernor. The Republican noniiuatiou, Le thinks, will go either to Russell, Boyd or Djckery. The latter is a j strong Blaine man, and Blaine's with- I drawal from the Presidential roll may seriously eff-ict bis chances for the nominatiod. RuBSjl,be tuink, would satisfy all factions, and Boyd would make a strong, CAudidate Speak ing about the' Khtght of Labor be says there are over. 190 assemblies in the Slate, with an active "member ship of over 25,000. The Demoorats, he tfeinks, will either nomina e -Jarvis or Stedman. Very likely, in his opin ion, the ticket will be Jarvis and Holt. That means, he says, that Jarvis will be a candidate for the United States Senate. And by the way what does this mean? minister jarvis' return. A special to the New York Sun from Oxford says that "it is learned there that Minister Jarvis has about decided to return from Brazil and en ter the cdntes., for Mr. Ransom's seat in the Senate." Nothing has been heard in official circles here of Minis ter Jarvis' cortemplated resignation. H. Knights of Pythias.

Washington', Feb. 15 Tha Secre tary of the Treuaury has received a letter from the collector of customs at Penacola, FJa , in regard to aa al leged conflict of jurisdiction between the State quarantine ofliceis and the customs inspectors at that por, in which he ai-ks "Whether the depart ment dpcisions Nos. 2.245 and b",398 are still in force, or whether ti e cus toins inspectors must forego iho right to txaiiine and certify the manifests of vessels arriving in port until it may suit the convenience of the quar antine surgeon to do so." Assistant Secretary Maynard, in reply, says that no material change has Ijeen made in the decisions referred to,nnd that the latter decision was founded on the opinion of tho Attorney Gen eral. This decision is to tho iffect that the United States govern ment has a clear right to jsee for iteelf and by the eyesi of owu officers whether its customs laws are enforced at quarantine stations as well as at other places, but that that duty bhould be executed with due respect to State health laws and feg ulations; such conformity, however, not to amount to abstention fiom official duty; and that the universal rule by which, upon conflict between State and Unit d S'a'es laws ;the former necfassaiily give way, would not justify the customs officers ffoiii excluding the health offi.-ers fiom.;the p aces which the former found it fcec-es.-ary to occupy in tbe course' of duty. Assistant S-crttary Maynard say a that tha Detartmout entirely concurs iu this view of the cts passed by Congress to preventthe introduction of contagious diseases, and he calls attention to -section five of the act of AprU 29, 1878, defining the duties of officers or agents of the marine hospital service at ports where the Secretary of the Treasury may deem it necessary to establish quarantine and which provides That "there shall be no interference in'any manner with any quarantine laws or regulations as now exist or may here after be adopted under State laws." Attention is also called to section 4, 792, Revised Statutes, wherein it is enacted that "quarantine and other restraints established by the health laws of any State respecting any vessel arriving in, or bound;! to, any port or district thereof, shall be duly observed by omcers 01 tne cus toms revenue of the United States." That is, Mr. Maynard says, when 0iey can do so consistently with their 'du ties as such officers of customs. Mr. Maynard closes his letter as foll.Qws: "The question involved is a delicate but uot a doubtful one, and although inspectors must conform their official actions to all legitimate and reasona ble regulations made for the protec tion of the public aealth and revenue, yet a State regulation which forbids them from protecting the public rev enue is not reasonable and should not be observed. You will conform jour action to the views thus expressed." Washington Notes. ' Washington, Feb. , 15.
