The conference report on the ur gent deficiency bill was presented and agreed to. Mr. Saulsbury addressed the Sen ate on the subject of the President's annual 'message. The Democratic party, he said, had always maintained and still held that the only proper motive of taxation was to provide the necessary revenue for the wants of the Government, and that every man was bound to contribute his just share. Taxation for any other pur pose was unjust and indefensible. The Democratic party was in favor of a revision and reduction tf the tariff and would carry it out unless thwarted in ita purpose by a combination lot Democrats (actuated by local interests), with the Republicans who favored high rates. The Republican party, judging by the statement of its leaders 'and of tts presSji would oppos-i any proposi tion of reduction, and if it could ro duce the surplus by large and un necessary appropriations it would do so. He thought he stated the views of the two parties throughout the country fairly when he said the Dem ocrats favored tariff in the interest of the people and that the Republi cans favored one in the interest of pro tection. There might be a few Demo crats who were protectionists. How anybody could assert that the Presi dent or the Democratic party was in fa vor of free trade was beyond his com prehension. Such statements, how ever, had been recklessly made in the Senate with full knowledge on the part of those who made them that there was nothing in the history of the Democratic party, past or present, that justified them. The Democratic party, was not in favor of free trade, but it. was earnestly in favor of re ducing tariff rates so that no greater taxation would be imposed oh the people than was necessary to meet the just demands of the government. He declared himself opposed to the repeal of the internal revenue sys tem. He was in favor of retaining the tax oh whisky, beer and tobacco, in order:; to relieve from 'taxation everything essential to I he comfort and happiness of the masses of, the people, but said he would vote for any measure that would obviate the objections! methods of collecting those taxes.

The Senate then proceeded to the consideration of bills on the calendars in their regular oider to which, no objection was made, and passed a number, principally oi a local or private character. Among the bills so passed are the following: Authorizing the construction of bridges over the Tennessee river, be twAATi Bridgeport ana onemeiu, ju Alabama, and over the Caney 1 ork river, Jet ween Rock Island and G .r thace. ill Tennessee.

Bragg, the new U. S- Minister, was given here yesterday by the American residents. The leading of ficials of the Mexican govern xent and a number, of members of tt j press were present Consul General Moore presided. Gen. Bragg made a sig nificant speech, which was well received. He said that the United States wanted no more territory and only desired for Mexico a continuation of its liberal government. He stated that the United States would be op posed to any attempt to overthrow free institutions in Mexico, and inti mated hat so l.ng as liberalism was predom ant in the Mexican adminis-1 tration t. !y the most cordial good will woul be shown this country. But the people of the United Sta'es, enjoying free institutions and their resultant blessings, would not look favorably on reactionary movements here.- He hoped to see the commer cial relations of the two countries grow closer and closer, and good feel ing continue to exist between na tions which must forever be neigh bors. The speech is regarded as in dicating sympathy on the par; of President Cleveland's admin s'i at ion with the present liberal administra tion here, and as being a plain indi cation that the reactionary party, which is thought to favor a monarch ical form of government, will never be permitted to carry its designs into execution. The speech made a pro found impression and is the topic of discussion in political circles. No recent utterances of United States representatives here have attracted such wide-spread attention, and lib eral politicians Bay that Gen. Bragg's discourse has certainly the merit of candor.; ' .

Carter, at Hibernia, his country resi dence, in Stckos county, in the 74th year of his age. He had been complaining some weeks, but was supposed to be better and his family fondly hop d that he would soon be entirely res ored. On Saturday night he retired to his room and a'l was quiet until about 1 o'clock a. mM when his watchful daughters, who occupied an adjoining room, heard a noise and immediately en tered his room to i find their father deal on the floor near the hre-place. It seems that he had risen in the night with the view to making up the fire and died in the effort. He was born in the county of Cas well and lived there until he reached the years of manhood. He then mar af.6r KiJCiiiiSnani comity, "aliu settled at Mt. Pleasant, a delightful country residence on Dan river in the same county. Here they lived until the death of Mrs. Carter, then, removed to Madison, in Rock ingham county, and thence to Stokes, just across the line, where he died. Shortly after his removal and set tlement at Mt. Pleasant he connected himself with the Spring Garden Pres byterian church. This church was consolidated afterwards with the Madison church, and his membership was removed, and he was up to his death a leading and influential ruling elder of that church He left six children three sons and three daughters, beside a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. As a citizen he was hon est, intelligent and influential; as a Christian he was humble, devout and faithful to the end. - He loved his church, was often in her councils and as a representative was always wise, active and efficient. As a father he was hrm in discipline, yet be was guided in its exercise by love and prayer. He taught by exam ple and precept and thus successfully brought his children to take refuge in a Savior's love. His death is a heavy loss to the little church at Madison, he was one of its founders, it (.bad been reared in the prayers and affections of God's people, but staggard under the blow and many pious hearts in this dark ness which hovers over them go up to God for i's preservation. He had lived for years in constant readiness for death and we know that our loss is his eternal gain. May we 'profit by his example. One Who Loved Hix. Chicago, March 22.
