CONGRESS PROCEEDINGS YESTERDAY IN SENATE AND HOUSE. THAT BILL OT MB. BLAIt S TOTJCHIXa KX COlrFEDEKATES SESAT03 VANCS BETS A MATTER 6TRAIQH C. OTHER HEWS. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Washington, March 21 Senate Mr. Blair, in reference to his bill to give preierence lor civil service ap pointments to wounded ex soldiers of the Confederacy as between men who had been disloyal, said that several Senators on both sides had requested him to Lave the bill lie over still fur thur. : He therefore asked its post ponement till next Tuesday, when he would ask the Senate ' o dispose of the pending question, the second reading of the bill, i Mr. Vance denied the correctness of a statement made yesterday by Mr. Blair as to there being twenty-thousand ex-Confederate soldiers in tUe State of North Carolina alone who had lost limbs, many of whom were destitute and in alms houses. He had not clearly heard the remark yesterday. The Senator had been misinformed. Thero was no such number of disa bled ox-Confederate soldiers in that State. Those who were utterly help less! were pensioned by the Siate (a mall pf nsion certainly-), &nd last year about $30,000 had been expended in relieving tho destitution cf those un able to work. Most cf them were earniog iheir living in the various oc cupations of life and were not to be described as suffering and in destitu tion. There were none of them in a'rns houses and none had died. Mr. Blair explained that he had meant to say wounded soldiers. The bill was laid over as proposed. The Senale then proceeded to take up and act upon bills on the calendar in their regular order, p issing such as were not objected to. 1 he bill provides for an inspectcr of meats for exportation, and prohib iting the importation of adulterated articles of food or drink having been reached, Mr'. Beck asked Mr. Evarts, who nad reported it from the com mittee on foreign relations, whether it was the unanimous report of that committee, and whether due care had been taken to protect property rights. Mr. Evarts replied that a like bill had been passed at the last session. It was the unanimous report of the com mittee, but he had an amendment to offer allowing the inspection of meats at places of pneking. The amend ment was offered and agreed to, and the bill passed. J5ills were also passed authorizing the Mississippi and Louisiana Bridge and Railroad Company of Natchez, Miss., to construct a bridge over the Mississippi at or near Natchez; to authorize juries of United States Courts (Circuit and District), to be used interchangeably and to provide for drawing talesmen: to provide for holding terms of United States Courts at Mississippi City; appropriating $10,000 for the repair of Fort Marion at St. Augustine, Fla-; regulating fees for exemplification of land patents; appropriating $10,000 for the. prose cution of inquiries by the commis sioner of fish and fisheries in respect to the destruction of oysters in natu rat oyster beds lying within the wa ters and jurisdiction of the United States by star fish &c Air. x rye, irom tne committee on foreign relations, reported back the House bill authorizing the President to arrange a conference for the pur pose of promoting arbitration and eneourageing reciprocal commercial relations between the United States and Mexico, Central and South Amer ica and Brazil. Calendar. Ad journed. f HOTSX. On motion of Mr. Allen of Miss. the Senate bill passed appropriating $10,000 for the construction of road from Corinth, Mississippi, to the national cemetery near that place. The House then went, into commit tee of the whole on tho bill referring to the Court of Claims for adjust ment of tho accounts of laborers, work men and mechanics arising under the eight hour law. Mr. Tillman, of South Carolina, re garded the measure as an attack on the treasury. He had carefully con sidered the question in 1884, and at that time he had estimated that the bill would involve an expenditure of $30,000,000. He declared that when ever a labor bill was brought into the House it stampeded the members as a hawk stampeded pigeons in a dove cote. The most humiliating thing to him in connection with his Congress ional labors was the way members flattered whenever any proposition came up relating to labor. The pend ing proposition was one to give i man ten hours pay for eight hours labor in order tocreate an aristocracy of labor, and to give to claim agents 25 or 50 per cent of the amounts they might recover. Mr. Taulbee, of Kentucky, declared that the House was utterly at sea as to the amount involved in the bill He admitted that the question of expenditure did not enter into the equities of the case, but it tended to impress! upon the members the im portance of an inquiry into the bill and he maintained that the language of the measure was a virtual acknowl edgment on the part of its framers that there was no existing law of equity or good conscience on which these claims could be based. Mr. larsney, oi Micmgan, earn estly supported the bill. He stated that the committee on labor had given a careful hearing to the mechanics and laborers who asked that which should never be denied in any civil izedjjountry the right to go into the courts of their country and have their rights and the duties of the gov ernment defined and placed on re cord. He then moved that the com mittee rise, stating that his intention was to let the bill go over until April 16, in order that the gentlemen who were shooting at a bird that they didn't see and that wasn' there might have an opportunity to examine the record and become bet ( ter informed as to the merits of the caajo than their speeches today indi cated them to be. The committee then rose a ad the bill went over. Bills were pas3ed to prevent the projuct of convict labor . from beikig furnished to or for the use of any department of the government and from being U8ed in public build ings or othe public works and to pjjevont the employment of alien la bor on public buildings and other public works and in the various de partments of the government. . The House then went into commit tee! cf the whole on the bill to estab- Uh fi Department of Labor. The pro vision for an Assistant Commissioner of Labor was stricken out. Mr. Buchanan moved to strike out the clause charging the Com missioner to ascertain, whenever in dustrial changes shall make it essen tial. The co?t of producing articles at tho time dutiable in the United States and in leading countries wh e such , articles are produced by fully specified units of the production and under a classification showing the different elements of cost or approxi mate cost of such articles of produc tion. Mr. Buchanan said that the commissioner would be unaoie to gather the information with the force at his disposal, and (hat if the force were increased sufficiently to enable him to do so, the expense of the de partment wuuld become so great that he feared Congress would refuse to appropriate the money. Mr. Mills regarded tne ciause which it was proposed to strike out as the most important feature of the bill. If it were stricken out there wouid bo nothing left in the bill. The people weie told that the wages of labor on the other side of (he ocean were less than those on this side, and that the cost of production wai less in Europe than in America. WhD knew whether that were true or notl He wished thecommiEsioner to get information from men thoroughly equipped for the work, then when Congress cane to legislate on the tariff question tho gentlemen would not be able to deceive people who would be able to see for themselves what the cost of production in Eu rope and other countries was. Let the gentlemen come up to tne scratcn and have ihis matter rcveetigaied. Th0 gentlemen should not tell the people that the tariff was intended for their benefit. Every line of it watf intended for the btnefit of the trusts. Mr. Reed expressed wonder whether the' chairman of the ways and means compitlee, if he got information, would allow it to bo read to the com mittee. Sir. Randall offered an amendment to extend the inquiry to the amount of 'wages paid iu various industries, accompanying his amendment with the iremark that "We all stand on the question of labor." The amendment was adopted. Mr. Mills offered an amendment to insejrt the words, "per diem, weekly and (; otherwise" after the word, "wa ges'!! in Mr. Randall's amendment. The amendment was adopted. On motion of Mr. McKinly an amendment waa adopted adding to Mr Randall's amendment the words, and hours employed per day." The;! followinf? amendments extend ing tLe scope of inquiry were adopt ed: I By Mr. Buchanan, whether any convict made goods are im ported into this country, and whence. liy Mr. Uland, what aie the prohts of manufacturers and producers of dutiable articles. Mr- Browne, of Indiana, offered an amendment extending inquiry as to the effect of the protective tariff in the United States on agricultural in dustry and especially as to its effect on hiortgage indebtedness of farm ers, i . To this amendment ' Mr. Randall offered another, extending the in quiry as to the effect of the state of the currency upon the agricultural interests, and Mr. Milliken, of Maine, another, requiring the commissioner of labor to investigate the Mills' tariff bilPnd to report what enect it would have on the labor and industry of thi United States and on foreign industry, and on the profits of for eign manufacturers and on the mar kets pf American farmers. Ponding action the committee rose, and at 6.15 the House adjourned. WILMINGTON ITEMS. THE riBSr OF KB. PEARSON S SESSIONS Cor. pf-the News and Observer. Wilmington, N. O, March 19.

Spirit of tne State Pre. Republican newspapers are just now engaged in a vain attempt to make political capital out of Mr. Cleve land's declaration four years ago in favor of limiting Presidents to one term. There would not be, as thev claim, any inconsistency in the accept ance oy Mr. Cleveland of the nomi tion for a second term. No matter what his private opinion in regard to the matter was then if a majority of the people think he should accept a second term, it will be his duty to do so. It is evident that the Repub licans are very anxious for the Demo crats to nominate some one else, and the reason for this is that they recog nize the fact that Mr. Cleveland's popularity is such that it will be im possible to defeat him. But the Re publicans will he disappointed. Mr. Cleveland will receive the nomination and the people ;will retain, him in the White House for years longer. We do not believe any earthly power can prevent it. Mouroe Enquirer and Express. ' Now, before there is any candidate authoritatively announced in opposi tion to tne re-election oi Hon. M. W. Ransom to the U- S.

We know that others would make good representatives in the Senate, but we do not believe they would bo equal' to Ransom. No one has yet announced himself as a candi date for Ransom's place and we hope no uemocrac will consent to oppose him.

Ran som ana vanoe are tne best men North Carolina ever had in the U. S. Senate, and have done more for North Carolina, and we are in favor of keep ing them there as long as they are willing to serve. We have never had a line from Ransom or any other man on the subject; we want no office and have no axe to grind, for all our fools are sharp enough.

POLITICAL shiloh fabm ETC Cor. of the News and Observer. TabbobO; N. C , March 20, 1888. We have about decided that Fowle is our choice for Governor. Some say Stedman, but the majority are for Fowle. So it eeems to this scribe, after talking wi h some of the ruling spirits of the district. There may be some doubt as to the gubernatorial Candida' e, but so far as we are concerned there isn't the shadow of a doubt as to who should be Auditor. His name is Henry Clay Bourne, ont cf Edgecombe's most highly esteemed Eone, and whom sho delights to honor. There is no office within her power to btstow that she would not willingly intrust into bis hands. Mr. Bourne baa a wide acquaintance, and maDy friends, ia the State, and they have, by letters to private indi viduals and otherwise, expressed a strong desire that he should receive the nomination for the position. There are three qualifications every candi date for office should possess : First, character. It is Unsafe, unwise, wrong, to place public trusts in the hands of bad men. Second, efficiency. A man may have good moral character, and not be capable otherwise of filling public office. Incompetency in a public officer cannot bo atoned for, even by good character. Third, availability. Can he ba elected ? A man of good character, or efficiency, or both combined may ba unable to bring out the strength of his party. Through physical defect or unpop ular manners Lo may be totally unfit for a public officer. Lithe judgment of thoip who kuo'.v hi u best Mr. Uourne posscftsrs rAl ib-r;e qualifications. He has time and a 'aia held public office influis own count v, and has de monstrated beyond a coubt his abil ity, not only to fill thti position cred itably, but to get the position in the first place. He is a good speaker, an untirmg canvasser. Ho knows how to make friends and to keen them.

If you want a pleasant drive and a fast one, the mud notwithstanding, get Dr. Staton, of Tarboro, to take you, some pretty day, to his farm in the country. The only trouble is you get there too soon, or rather the distance is too short for a good drive. I went out there yesterday, only about two and one half miles from town and if there is no mud and the Doctor is in a hurry, why then it is. not any where. Just hold your breath and your hat, if you can, and you are there. I had long wanted to see the Shiloh farm, and did. There are about three hundred acres of cleared land. The Doctor drove me around the farm, and I enjoyed looking at the cattle, horses and hogs and mill, and silos and chickens and turkeys, and drinking good, clear spring water. There are about 80 head of cattle, Jersey cows, Holstein cows, native cows, Devon cows, old field cows, all sorts of cowp, and calveB to match, in numerable. Then came the horses; what beau ties ! Some two year old colts and a stallion were very attractive and fine.' Tney believe in blooded stock at Shiloh. No scrub stock will be seen there in a short time. A great deal of milk is sold from the farm. The Doctor is well situated for "watering stock", I mean of course his cows, not the milk, for this he doesn't do. After the cows and horses, all of which have a pedigree, and a royal one at that, come the hogs Berk shire, fat and fine, and a Yorkshire, which looked like his nose had been mashed back into his head. How does he feed all these stock! I'll tell you. He puts up ensilage by the hundred ton. Theie is now growing on the farm, and looking well, oats, rye, clover and timothy and orchard grass. Some f oiks say grass won't grow in this section not a word of truth in it; give it a chance and see. The thirty ton oil mill will be put up at once.
