Thx President has been enthusias
tically ; receired eyerywhere in the
course of bis journey. He realizes
doubtless the solidity of the South
socially as well as politically.
Tbx Cincinnati Enquirer pertinently
asks: "What are we to do about all
those rebel flags that Republican Sec
retaries of War, from Stanton down,
hare returned to the ex-rebel States T
Ought not the Republican party to
be abolished f " We pause for a reply.

It being, indeed, a native of North Car

i Tex State Democratio Executive
1 eommittee did well in electing Mr. O.
I F. Lumsden, of this city, and Mr. W.
A. Hoke, of Linoolnton, to fill the va
'4 cancies existing in its membership.
Mr. Lumsden is a young man of
g whom this community is justly proud.
j He is of the highest personal charao
i ter and in the last campaign in
' Wake, in which-he ran for the House
tjj on the nomination of the Democratic
a- party, he developed ability as a can
, vasser that surprised those who knew
; him best perhaps even himself. I He
" is of sterling stuff and we rejoice in
j any honor that may come to him.
Mr. Hoke is a young lawyer of marked

was peculiarly generous and his mu-
I more sorely needed by the Southern

did as much good in this way as in
the line of strict beneficence. The
Corcoran Art Gallery in the Federal
capital, one of the largest and most
complete in the United States, will
remain , a magnificent monument to
his memory. He has lived well, and
goes to his long home, therefore, with
blessings unmingled with anything
less creditable. He has been one of
the country's purest philanthropists
and his name will be written in large
letters as such in the country's his

SEHATOR HAWIjKY'BISPKKCH.
We nave read with care the speech
delivered by Senator Hawley in the
Senate against the Blair bill. Sena
tor Hawley was born in Robeson
county, in this State, and is now a
Senator from Connecticut, to which
State his father moved in his boy
hood. He is a man of parts and de
servedly ranks among the foremost
of the Republican statesmen. We
take an interest in him because he is
la. Nnrth Carolinian, although his noli-
tics are usually very bad. His speech
rOn the Blair bill came in at the last
mnd was among the most thoughtful
f delivered on either, side. In addi
tion to his own varied research,
ihe had bad the benefit of
i'feneh sueerestions as had fallen from
Others in the course of debate, and
with great ability Le made nis points
I'strongly and with marked effect.
I In much that, he said he had our
fentire sympathy : and we commend
iparte of his speech I as clear state
iments of historic truth.
' I' For instance, how admirably is this
rptated:
I; ,(Nothing relating to the rights of
zpi- States was settled by the war-
save this: A State cannot be the final
arbiter of infractions of the Constitu
tion. A State cannot be aUpwed,
upon its own judgment that the Con
stitution has been violated, to go out
of the Union in short the question
of secession. That is all. Otherwise
the Constitution remains exactly as it
was and the relations of the States just
as they were." Of course he excepts
the three amendments adopted since
the war. And so he recognizes ai
still subsisting the old battle between
the parties as to the proper construc
tion of the powers of Congress, a
contest that runs back to the days
when Washington was President.
"It is interesting to observe that
Senator Hawley realizes the issue
and takes his stand on the old Demo
cratic States' Rights side of that ques
tion. He rests his case as to the uncon
stitutionality of the Blair bill on the
ideas annoanced in the celebrated
"Virginia Resolutions" on the sub
ject, opposition to Secretary Hamil
ton's construction of the "General
welfare" clause of the Constitution,
and on the ideas embodied in Madison's
Report to the Virginia Assembly on
these resolutions. And these papers
embodied the creed of the States'
Rights party.
'in e particular question involved at
this time hinges on the construction
of this clause in the Constitution:
"Congress shall have power to lay
taxes and to pay the debts and pro
vide for the common defence and gen
eral welfare of the United States,"
&o. Senator Hawley quotes Jeffer
son and Madison and Storey, and
stands by them in their construction
of this clause, adhering to their doc
trine. Theirconstruction was that the pow
er given in the section is to levy taxes,
and the purposes for which the levy
is to be made the purposes for
which the power is to be exercised,
and the only purposes, are to pay
debts, to provide for common defence
and general welfare.
i They held that the section did not
vest in Congress power to provide for
the common defence and general wel
fare, but whatever power Congress
had as to those matters had to be
found in particular grants elsewhere
Written in the Constitution.
; The applicability of that doctrine
and its bearing on the Blair Bill were
disputed by othera in the Senate,
but Senator Hawley not only stands
by the doctrine but argues that it is
applicable to the measure and that it
establishes its unconstitutionality.
But the strength of his speech is not
all expended on that point. He ar
gues with great power against the
expediency of the measure. And
yet while his speech was so able,
it was made in a body, a large major
ity of whose members had previously
committed themselves by having vot
ed for the bill at previous sessions,
and therefore its full effect is not so
apparent in the Senate vote, although
the vote against the bill in the Senate
was much larger than ever before.
How far it will serve to change the
current of opinion in the House is to
be seen. It had always been
said that if the measure
could be reached in the House it
would pass by a two-thirds vote but
of late it has beer announced that the
measure was losing ground rapidly. In
deed, as one of the signs of the times,
we notice that Mr. Simmons, as if
despairing to get the Blair bill
through the House, has, since Mr.
Hawley's speech, introduced another
measure intended to avoid the con
stitutional and other objections urged
by Senator Hawley, and looking to
the distribution of the surplus among
the States by means of a loan for edu
cational purposes.
We would greatly prefer Mr. Sim
mons' bill, because it is thought to
get rid of the constitutional point,
and because it does get rid of the ob
jections which we have had to some
Of the provisions, of the Blair bilL
Indeed it ceems necessary now that
those who are anxious to foster edu
cation at the Sojth should try an
other turn, and we trust that Mr.
Simmons' bill will meet with favor all
along the line, and that even Senator
Hawley may see his way to giving it
his able and hearty support.
North Carallaa In Congress.
- Tuesday in the House Mr. Cowles
reported from the committee on ex
penditures in the Department of Jus
tice, a resolution referred to the com
mittee, which, on motion of CoL
Cowles, was read as follows :
Hesolved, That the Secretary of

States, and the amount actually al
lowed and paid, under existing law,
said district attorneys and marshals
on aoount of such earnings, fees and
compensations, with a statement of
the fixed salary of each; and also the
number of assistant district attorneys
doing service in the respective dis
tricts and the amount of compensa
tion paid to each of them. Said in
formation to cover the years of 1885,
1886 and so much of 1887 as practi
cable. I The report of the committee was
read, as follows :
j The committee on expenditures in
the Department of Justice having had
Under consideration the accompany

same be adopted.
The resolution was adopted,
i Mr. Johnston, from the committee

! Dwa the River. j
Oar. of the New and Observer; ;'' '
Tasbobo, N. CL, Feb. 23. :
A float down the river from Tar
boro on one of our pleasant little
steamboats lacks a good dud of being
the most unpleasant trip your ever
had. If you don't believe it, try ifc
and if you are not pleased, especially
if the weather is not too awfully
awful, then call me a "dead-head,,
raid to say these things anyway,
i our reporter has made this trip
more than once and knows whereof
he speaks. This morning the "Green
ville is the boat, and Capt. M. S
Mayo is in charge a cleverer, kinder
steamboat captain it would be hard
to find. At first sight he seems to
have a crust around him looks stern
all captains do but tap him and
you find what you thought was a
crust is no crust. He is a business
man and means business; "only this
and nothing more." Unless you want
the earth, Capt. Mayo will please you,
certain.
We left Tarboro at 6 a. m. Ah !
there's the rub. That means that
jou are aroused about 5. I wonder
why the boats leave Tarboro at this
heathenish hour ? Tho captain says
he don't like it, but can't help it. It
gives an opportunity, however, to
reach his destination, Washington,
before night during the entire year.
One thing is certain, rising at 5 a. m.
and stirring around much gives you
a good appetite for the splendid
breakfast awaiting you at 8. When
breakfast was announced this morn
ing all hands were ready, and a good
breakfast it was. This scribe thinks
he knows a good meal when he eats
it, and the one we had this morning
was first-rate. This is the verdict of all
the passengers.
Capt. Mayo has been serving meals
and running steamboats on the river
here for eighteen years. His boat,
the property of the Tar River Trans
portation Company, of which Mr. A.
Forbes, of Greenville, is president, is
run in connection with the Clyde
Line, of Baltimore. His rival, the
"R. L. Myers," is run in connection
with the Old Dominion Line, of New
York. ;
Mr. Edward Clark, of Washington,
N. C, has a small freight boat on the
river also, Beta by name. These
rivals have bad a pretty lively time
this season. Heretofore the Green
ville and the Myers, according to
understanding, have been charging
81-50 a bale freight on cotton from
Tarboro to Norfolk, and all went well
until the appearance of this freer
lance, the Beta. She put down rates
on cotton to 75c and then the fun
began fun for the merchants, but
death to the boats. As a matter of
fact now the boats are making no
money handling cotton. These
things ought not so to be. "But
competition is the life of trade," they
say.
We have quite a nice company of
passengers down the river today. I
notice Judge Shepherd, on his way
home from Duplin county, where he
has been holding court, and his sister,
Mrs. Harris from Wilson; Rev. R. B.
Acree, pastor of the First Baptist
church, Petersburg, Va., on his way
to bold a revival meeting for Rev. J,
W. Wildman, in Greenville; Mr. Don
nell Gilliam,, of Tarboro, on his way
to attend Superior Court in Wash
ington, where Judge Montgomery is
presiding; Miss Agnes Cotter, of
Tarboro, who has just gotten off at
Center Bluff,, and other ladies whom
your scribe does not know; and last
but by no means least, the irrepressi
ble, pbiquitous commercial evangel-ist--eeveral
of him in number. But
here we are at
OBEurvnxK,
and ye reportorial pencil drops for a
while, till a little looking around is
gone through with. Mud and water !
I should say so- Rain has been falling
steadily for 24 hours, and everything
is moist. The people are going
ahead just the same, and everything
has a business appearance. Green
ville is excited jus now over the
building of the Scotland Neck &
Greenville railroad. That the road
will be built there is little doubt, and
it would help Greenville very much.
Tbe town is doing well, brt a boom
in business would be a g.eat thing
for it.
There are three good churches here,
Baptist, Methodist and Episcopalian.
Prof. John Duckett has the largest
school in Eastern Carolina, except the
Davis School. This session he has
an enrollment of 187 pupils. There
are 5 processors besides the Princi-
Jal. ! Prof. D. has been teaching here
or 3 years, and the school is grow
ing all the time. Mr. B. F. Sugg has
a large foundjy and marble yard,
both m successful operation. Allen
Warren has a fine nursery which is the
home of the famous James grape.
The large mercantile houses of A. For
bes, Lang, Skinrer & Co., and others,
are all doing a go d business.
Two good hotels, the Macon
House, Dr. James proprietor, and
the King House, Mrs. King proprie
tress, offer rest and refreshment to
the traveling brother at reasonable
rates.
Ia the town there are six physi
cians, four of whoLi are named Brown,
with Dr. O'Hagan at the Iiead. Con
gressman La than lives here, and Hon.
Harry Skinner is hard by, who is
mentioned for Lieutenant Governor.
Here are fourteen lawyers, most
prominent in this profession being
the firm of Tucker & Murphy,' rising
young men.
Mr. D. J. Whichard is the young,
popular editor of the Reflector, one
of the l.est weeklies in the State, it is
said; Greenville is a pleasant town
to visit, and with the enterprising
men, cultured and beautiful ladies,
good school and prosperous churches,
it mnst be a good place in which to
reside. Your reporter tips his hat to
the nice little town and turns his face
toward Tarboro, up the river. On
the return trip the boat "R. L. Myers,"
of the O. D. Line, is taken instead of
the "Greenville." The "Myers" is
larger and more commodious, though
not quite so fast as the "Greenville."
Capt David Hill contests the honors
with Capt. Mayo for the best bill of
fare and best accommodations gener
ally. : When both are about as good
as can well be, who can decide which
is the best t Tac.
Even throwing kieses is attended
with more risks than is generally sup
posed. A Waterbury, Conn., doctor
has discovered this to his Borrow.
While thus engaged on the rear plat
form of a railroad train the brakeman
shut the door, so badly mashing the
doctor's fingers that he is now pros
ecutor in a suit for $1,000 damages.!
OrMMberf Letter.
Oor. of the ITewa and Observer.
GaxEfSBOBo, N..G-, Feb. 23.
Judge Gilmer presides at February
term of the Superior Court, which is
now in session, and so far it bids fair
to be an occasion of unusual, interest.
Hi" charge to the grand jury on Mon
day was most thoughtful and compre
hensive, and in its scope embraced
some subjects, touchedjvery sparingly,
if at all, by the average of the judi
ciary. In his administration he im
presses an audience with his exceed
ing kindliness of spirit. While con
scientious and faithful it is observed
that he dispenses with much of the
hauteur and rigidity so common with
the profession. There is a decided
element of mercy in this. He is at
home, literally, among this people,
and comes to settle disputes among
his own brethren. In doing this his
kindness to all is manifest.
In his charge to the jury he said
there was no duty he had to perform
that so impressed him with the dig
nity of the office as this, the holding
up to them their true relation to so
ciety and to the country. Iu addi
tion to the ordinary crimes against
society, he laid special stress on
gambling, whether on inclosed prem
ises or not, selling liquor to minors
on Sunday, disturbing public worship,
schools and teachers' institutions, the
public health, the selling a receipt for
the adulteration of liquors, frauds of
all kinds, whether by actual transac
tion or by word, slander, obstructing
railroad or tefc graph service, break -ingor
defacing tombstones.
He was especially emphatic on the
curses that infest towns and cities,
the namelesB moral leprosy that
blights the young, disgraces the
older and hurts everybody seduc
tion is felony, and required vigorous
treatment at their hands cruelty to
animals, &c, &c
Under these instructions I doubt
not tbe jury had a new and enlarged
conception of their duties.
' A jury was out all last night on a
"conspiracy case," and one that eli
cited much interest. Mr J. L. May,
editor and proprietor of The Sum
merfledd Sheaf, is also ticket agent of
the C. F. & Y. V. Railroad. Mr. May
had published a certain article in his
paper, to which Capt. Murphy, con
ductor on the said railroad, took ex
ception, anu on thefirst opportunity
stopped his train, went into Mr. May's
office and gave rise to a
vigorous fisticuffing. Dr. Lash,
of Walnut Cove, interfered
and put a stop to this entertainment.
Mr. May sued on the charge of a
"conspiracy," implicating both Capt.
Murphy and Dr. Lash. It was a
hotly contested case. The jury were
out all night and stood 11 to 1. The
Judge reviewed the case, read the
newspaper article in question and
fined Capt. Murphy $25 and costs.
The new graded school is in full
bloom at last and Prof. Foard is
happy and the teachers are fat, sleek
and smiling from long rest. The
boys are out in shoals and just as
noisy as football can make them, the
school booksellers are in clover and
parents generally would gladly wring
the necks clean oft of all the school
book makers, or committees or who
ever they are, for changing books
twice every session. Cuss words are
now in order and rebellion ia brew
ing. "Mark the prediction."
f he Morgan-Crittenden murder case
is just now getting well under way.
A special venire of 200 men was or
dered, from which to select a iurv.
Most of today (Thursday) was con
sumed in preliminaries and making
out the jury. The courtroom is
packed almost to suffocation. It will
be hotly contested on both sides, as
some of the ablest counsel in this part
of the State is employed. Mr. Stray
horn, solicitor for the State, is assist
ed by J. A . Barringer, Esq. Ex-Judge
Thos. Ruffin, Messrs. J. T. Morehead
and J. E. Boyd are for the defence.
I hope to keep the readers of the
Nxw8 and Obsesvxb posted each day
as to its progress and true status.
The accused, Morgan, is charged with
shooting Crittenden to death as he
came up the steps from a basement
bar-room under the McAdoo House.
W. A. Brame is accused of complicity.
Up to this writing the requisite num
ber of jurors has just been secured.
From indications nothing of equal in
terest has transpired here for many
years. Public sympathy seems not
yet to have been arrayed specially
on either side. Tomorrow will be a
field day for the lawyers.
A matrimonial "slycoon" goes
howling over this latitude just about
this time, after a fashion that makes
all bachelor trash feel like they are
"left" iagood earnest. The devasta
tion has been going on for two or
three months, until the crop of mar
riageable damsels has dwindled to a
remnant. Last night at 8.30 a solid,
good audience had assembled in the
West Market Methodist church to
witness the taking off of Miss Marie
Williams, of this place, by Mr. Geo.
Sartin, of Danville, Va. The altar
was heavily decorated with hot-house
vegetation. Rev. J. E. Mann, pastor,
stood to officiate. Prof. Fasolt, of
Greensboro Female College, presided
at the organ, assisted by Mr. Sid. L.
Alderman on the flute and MB3rs. T.
and J. Woodroffe with violins.
With the steady beat of the exhila
rating wedding march, four brides
maids passed up the aisles, a couple
on each next a gentleman and ladj
up each aisle then on the right, Mr.
Hazel, best man, leading Miss Lea, of
Danville, took his stand with his fair
partner just in front and the two sep
arated for the bridal couple, who just
then entered by the right.
A deep hush fell on the audience as
the few senterces were spoken by the
minister which made them one. The
ring ceremony was used. 'The bride
wore a traveling suit of dark brown,
the dresses of atterdants correspond

Still another. This morning at
9 o'clock at the residence of Hon.

geon dentist of this place, Rev. J. E.

of select friends in attendance.
They departed on the Raleigh 10

of the groom in Graham. Both the
