OF THI 8UBPLU8
OTHKB NEWS.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer,
Washington, March 20 Senate.
Among i the bills reported from
committees and placed on the calen
dar were the. following :
A bill to encourage the holding of
a national industrial exposition of the
arts, merchandise and products of the
colored race in the United States in
1888. : .
A bill to authorize the Secretary of
the Treasury to apply the surplus
money in the treasury to the purchase
of United States bonds and to the
prepayment of in teres f. (Notice was
given by Mr. Aldrich, who reported
this bill, that he would call it un at
an early date )
Mr. Blair, who yesterday intro
duced a bill giving the preference for
civil servioe appointments among
men who had been disloyal during
th war to those who had served in
the Confederate army and who were
suffering from wounds or disabilities,
asked Mr. Piatt (who had objected to
the second reading of the bill) to
withdraw his objection.
Mr. Piatt said that he could not
object to the bill being read a second
time today and referred to the com
mittee. : His objecion yesterday had
been based upon what seemed to be
an inference from the title of the bill.
Mr. Blair remarked that the object
of the bill was siocply to provide that
in appointments to the civil service
made from among those who had
ben disloyal preference should be
fjiven to those who were Buttering
rom wounds or disability resulting
from service in the army of the Con
federacy. He had introduced the bill
in entire good faith. He understood
that in the State of North Carolina
there were today 20,000 ex soldiers
of the Confederacy who had lost
limbs in the service, and that a very
large cumber of them were in poor
circumstances. It seemed to him
that if, the government under thi9 ad
ministration or under any other ad
ministration gave appointments to
the men who had been disloyal, pref
erence should be given to those who
had set ved in the Confederate army
and were now disabled (other things
being equal;.
Debate on Mr. Blair's bill wa eon
tinued up to 2 o'clock, when at his
suggestion; the bill went over till to
morrow without action.
Speeches were made by Messrs
PlatV, Hale, Berry, Blair, Hoar, Rid
dleberger, Hampton, George, M&n-
derson, Daniel and Hawley. The
Southern Senators, while expressing
the kindliest feelings for the gener
osity and philanfrophy which had
prompted the introduction of the bill
disclaimed all desire on the part of
ex-Oonfedera' es for tho passage of
any such exceptional measure, but
thought that as a matter of courtesy
and uniformity of practice the bill
should be read a second time and re
ferred J The Northern Senators were
of one accord in considering the meas
ure as unwise and ill considered.
The; Senate then passed bills to
provide for warehousing fruit brandy,
for the relief Of the iron clad builders
the Perinea and the McKays, touch
ing the grade of the C ommander in
the navy and to correct an error in
relation to an appointment therein.

Mr. i Bland fought the measure at
every point but it was finally passed.
Mr., O'Neill introduced a bill to
protect freo labor and the industries
in which it is emploed from the in
jurious effects of convict labor, by
confining the sale of goods, wares,
and merchandise manufactured by

In the morning hour the House re
sumed consideration of the resolu
tion assigning four days for the trans,
action of business reported by the
committee on labor.
The opponents of the resolution,
led by Mr. Rogers, of Arkansas, pro
ceeded to obstructive methods to pre
vent action. After one roll call Mr.
O'Neill, of Missouri, stated that he
was willing to amend the resolution
by striking out the clause limiting
the time of the debate on each meas
ure called up. He would do this, he
said, in order to remove the pretext
under which the gentlemen were re
sorting to filibustering tactics.
Mr. Rogers said the gentleman had
no right to impugn the motive of any
gentleman by the charge that he was
acting under pretext- The charge

bills remained undisposed of ana

means was maturing a bill affecting
the interests of honest labor a hun
dred times more than any conceivable
proposition over which the commit
tee on labor had jurisdiction.
Mr. O Weill mentioned seven im
portant bills upon the calendar under
the report of the committee on labor.
I will tell these gentlemen," he said,
that you (indicating Mr. Rogers)
have talked out this morning hour,
that you have accomplished your pur
pose and you have simply been the
tool that had been used for that pur
pose.
Mr. Alogers demanded that the
words be taken down, which was
done and they were read at the clerk's
desk.
Mr. Cox, of New York, moved that
the gentleman from Missouri be al
lowed to proceed in order, and the
motion being agreed to, Mr. O'Neill
resumed the floor amid applause. He
said that the duties of the members
of the committee on labor were very
arduous, and that the gentlemen on
that committee were placed in a very
peculiar position, being liable' to be
denounced as demagogues; and as to
the workingmen, whenever they
brought in a bill in the interest of la
bor, as chairman of that committee
he had been obliged to stand here for
two days in aa effort to secure the
consideration of a number of impor
tant labor bills and see the time frit
tered away by men who, as leaders of
the House, should be the first to re
spond to the demands of the work
ingmen for the right to be beard.
(Applause )
Mr. Uuchanan, of JNew jersey, in
behalf of the committee on labor,
proposed an, elimination of the objec
tionable clause, and this having been
agreed to, Mr. Rogers withdrew his
opposition and the resolution was
adopted. It sets aside the 20th and
21st of March, 18th of April and
the lGfh of May for the purpose
Btated.
Mr. O'Neill withdrew any remarks
of a personal and offensive- character,
being, ; he said, willing to forgive
everybody jmd anybody. In pursu
ance of the terms of the resolution
just adopted the floor was accorded
to the committee on labor and bills
were passed for protection in iheir

Washington, Match 20. In addi
tion to those already indicated oev
eral amendments were made by the
ways and means committee in the
Mills tariff bill before its completion
in committee. One of these touches
ornamented earthenware which is
made dutiable by the bill at 40 per cent

amendment raised to the class above

clasB relating to steel ingots and fix
ing the duty on that class of inahu
factures, which was re classified to
some extent at 57 per cent ad valo

ing the duty at the present figure of
45 per cent ad valorem. In the sec
tion relating to gloves and fixing the
duty on them at 40 per cent ad va
lorem an exception was made in the
case of gloves, made of silk taffeta,

Oak Spbings, P. 0-, March 3d.
I see a great many names brought
forward as those of suitable candi
dates for Governor. I think entirely
too many are striving to have their
own man nominated. Why not the
whole State unite on that sterling
and tried Democrat, Daniel Q. Fowle,
a man thar has no superior in point
of ability m the State: a man that
would poll a larger vote, we believe,
than any other; a man whose silver
tongue can set the whole people in
name of. enthusiasm, and draw them
to the polls; a man who has done
more for the democratic party in
North Carolina than any other man
in the Sta'e; who has not been re
warded at the hands of the people
Everybody must acknowledge that he
has not been rewarded according to
his merit and ability.
Let Darnel (i. Fowle be nominated
is the demand of the great west.
Then you will see the whole people
of tho State proud of their Governor.

Lexington, March 17, 1888.
Court has just closed in Davidson,
after a two weeks session, during
which many cases have been tried and
much business disposed of.
I was at Kowan court during its
term also of two weeks, and as one of
the oldest of the bietbren, it affords
me real pleasure to say, not only for
myself, but to add that the profession
in attendance at both courts were
unanimous, so far as I could learn, in
expressions of praise and commenda
tion of the juage.
His marked punctuality in the dis
charge of his official duties, his uni
form politeness and courtesy, alike to
the bar, the officers of the court, the
witnesses, the jury and the large
numbers of citizens in attendance;
his even temper and quiet dignity,
his readiness in apprehending the
points in the cases, respectively, be
fore him, his familiarity with the lav?,
bis unwavering impartiality, his clear,
lucid charges to the jury, his genial
nature, cropping out in oft-recurring
humour, won admirers and made
friends from every quarter, until the
remark again and again was made :
"Judge Connor is not only a true
gentleman, but a superb judge. So
that we of the West thank the East for
a judge so acceptable and a man so
clever and popular. L.
Wool.
It is the well-considered opinion o f
the Financial Chronicle of New
York that, "to suppose that any wool
manufacturer would advocate a tariff
on his raw material, except in fear
and duress of the menace so boldly
uttered by Mr. McKinley, of Ohio,
and others, that free wool shall mean
free goods likewise, is to suppose
him destitute of common sense
The Chronicle fihows by elaborate
tables of statistics that the prices of
domestic wools have ruled higher
under the low tariffs of 1846 and 1857
than under the pet tariff of 1865, and
points out how Framoe and Germany,
after vainly ; trying to foster native
wool growing by tariff taxes, were at
last obliged to make tbe product free
along with England and other Euro
pean countries. It is simply wonder
ful how our people cling to the idea
that a tax and burden on the market
of a product fosters the growth and
increases the price of that product
One would suppose that a market for
a product was the moat awful thing
in the world that could happen for
that produot. Sprinafield Republi

fcTARTLlKG DEFALCATION.
OV THE TREASURES OF KENTUCKT.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Louisville, Ky , March 20. A spe
cial to the Evening" Times from Frank
fort States that Gov. Buckner this
morning suspended the Treasurer of
the State, Jas. W. Tate. Tate is
charged with defalcation in his office
and it is said has fled from the State.
The defaulting official has been treas
urer for 21 years. He was consid
ered the sou of honor and the news
will produce a tremendous sensation
throughout the State. Later dis
patches from Frankfort state that
the investigation immediately institu
ted on the recommendation of Gov.
Buckner hasup to 11 o'clock' this morn
ing disclosed a deficit in Tate's office
of $150,000 and that the irregulari
ties seem to run back 11 years.
The discovery of late s shortage is
the result ol an examination of his
books commenced some data ago by
an expert accountant. ; The Governor
has placed the Treasurers office in
charge of Auditor Herrill and At
torney General Hardin. In his mes
sage to tbe legislature, Governor
Buckner says he has reasons for be
lieving the deficit to be large, and
rr coru mends that an investigation be
ord-rr'd In the House a committee was
at oiie appointed aud ordered to pros
ecute s.n investigation in connection
with the officials iu charge of the
office. Pending investigation the
office will be closed. The State has
abundant resources at hand. All
current expenses, payments, dues,
etc., will be met without interruption
or delay, Treasurer Tate's bond is
for $300,000, and the shortage is well
covered. He was in Louisville Sat
urdoy night when he was observed to
be drinking hard, an unusual thing
for him. Since that time he has not
been seen and his whereabouts is un
known. tJnnble to Meet Kngagements.

Itepabllcau Preferences.
The Philadelphia Times gives the
results of a canvass regarding the
presidential preferences of a large
number of representative Republicans
in the five great States of New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Min
nesota. The New York Tribune sum
marizes as follows:
The canvass was based, of course,
upon the assumption that Mr. Blaine
is out of the race. Yet nearly one
third say they will have him anyway,
declination or no declination.
Perhaps the next most striking
fact is the strength of Chauncey M.
Depew in the East, with a lack of it
quite as marked in the West and
Northwest. He is the first choice
always with the proviso that Blaine
is out Of the way of 902 out of 7,128.
He stands third on the list, Sherman
being first, and with ''Blaine anyhow"
a close second. He leads in. New
York, both s.s first and second choice,
and ia strong as second choice both
in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Another fact of interest is that the
Gresham boom is nowhere beside that
of General Harrson, either in their
own State or elsewhere, except in
Minnesota. In the totals Harrison
has double Gresham's voote, and in
Indiana nearly seven times his vote.
These may bo straws, but they would
seem to show that the wind is blow
