Speaker Carlisle is reported to have
said in a recent interview thnt he is
opposed to j the repeal of the. duties
ort sQgar,! and believed that there
should be a moderate and reasonable
reduction of hose duties, as in cases
of many other articles subject to tax
under the teustoms laws. He regarded
the duties tin sugar, he said, as almost
entu-eiy revenue tax, and believed it
was one of the duties that should be
oobtihned for that reason. Mr. Car
lisle said that when the question came
uri in the jHouse it would be found
that the revenue reformers were the
best friends of the sugar interests,
and that j the high protectionists
would advocate and vote for much
greater reductions than any pro
posed in j the Mills bill, ; or
even' contemplated by the ma
jority of the committee of ways and
means. The contest will be between the
revenue reformers on the one side,
contending for a moderate reduction
oily with; i proper classification, and
the representatives of other protected
interests who want the greatest part
of the reductions of the revenue to be
t&km off sugar, tobacco and perhaps
whisky. Mr. Carlisle said further:
r'l have; never expressed or inti
mated a doubt as to the propriety of
placing wool on the free list. It is
toe first necessary step towards se-
cjjirig cheaper clothing for the peo

basis of equality with existing Slates;
that Congress ought not to exercise
any supervision oVer the provisions
of the constitution of any such new
State further than is necessary to

can form of government; that the
proposed constitution for the State

Sioux City; March 26. The situa
tion on the river here, is practically
unchanged. The weather again turned
cold Saturday night and three inches
of snow have fallen since. The gorge
opposite the city has been augmented.
1 he gorges five miles above and Op
posite the mouth of the Sioux river,
as well as the one ten miles above Op
posite Jackson, Neb., till hold. This
makes the situation serious, because
the flood is pouring down the river
still further up. The present condi
tions are almost identical with those
preceding the great flood of 1882.
Snow lies deep along the Missouri
valley and the prairies draining
into it. There is a , series of gorges
in the river, from here to 75 or 100
miles above here, while the upper
Missouri and its confluents have
broken up and are1 flooding. If the
weather turns warm disastrous floods
must en3ue. A ' great amount of
property is exposed here and there is
intense anxiety not only at this point
but throughout the low-lands alODg

boro was well represented in all the
departments of trade and the profes
sions. Iheoccision of this sudden
turning-out of our business men was
an excursion (riven by Mr.. Frank
Hitch, of Hamilton, over his new
railroad, and to his lumber mills at
Hamilton., Two yeirs ago, or even
one year ago, none of us ever contem
plated riding to Hamilton on the
cars, but we have, all the same. This
new road was commenced last June,
and was finished in time for the cot
ton season. Mr. rlitcn is a Mary-
lander by.birth, bat has spent most of
his life In Virginia and North Caro
lina, in the lumber business. Several
years ago he came to Bertie county
and put up his mill and built rail
roads to his timber, and hauled the
logs to the)mill with a 'steam engine, as
he is doing now. Then he came to Ham
ilton and began his present extensive
operations in lumber. Mr. Hitch has
associated with him Messrs. W hedbee
& Dickinson, of Baltimore- He is a
man of large views and great business
capacity. Everything not only moves
around him, but moves with system
aid in the right direction.
The new railroad runs through a
good farming country, aud is a great
convenience and help to the farmers
all along the line. Some three or
four stations, with stores, warehouses,
&c, are building up along the road,
and thus furnishing supplies ol all
kinds to the farmers, who before were
compelled to travel long distances for
what they wanted. There is also now
a good market for faeir lumber.
There is a great deal along this road
which before this was worthless, be
cause there was no market for the
timber. Mr. Hitch now buys all
the logs, or sawed timber
either, the people can furnish.
In addition to this he has bought a
large quantity of land all along his
line, and is cutting the timber off and
shipping it to Hamilton to his mill.
He is alsq striking out in new direc
tions. Already a new road has been
surveyed from this road to Kill Quick,
a distance of about eight miles, which
is promised in time for this year's
cotton crop. There is an immense
amount of lumber in this lower sec
tion of country. But it will not take
Mr. Hitch long to saw up the whole
country. Just think of it, one sixty
inch saw ripping up thirty thousand
feet a day. It was not the pleasure
of your correspondent to see the mill
at work, but what he heard
from those who did, convinces him
that it is one of the finest in
the country. "We have seen saws saw,
but this saw beats any saw sawing
that we ever saw saw," was about
the way they put it. The saw requires
only four seconds to pass through a
log. Everything works by machinery.
The planks are earned away by ma
chinery and loaded on cars and rolled
into the kiln for drying and the sawdust
is carried away, all by machinery. A buzz
and a whiz and the log is sawed up
and another in its place. In connec
tion with this railroad is the "Susie
Hitch," a large boat, the property of
Mr. Mitch, plying between Hamilton
and Norfolk and Baltimore. There
are other boats also, and so
abundant facilities are at hand
for shipping lumber direct to
Northern jnarkets. Mr. Hitch
wanted the business men of Tarboro
to see these works, and the desire was
mutual. : So he invited them down
and dined the entire party at the ho
tel, and in person showed them
around. The party returned to town
about 5 p. m. highly pleased and loud
in their praises of Mr. Hitch. The
word "hitch," as used in common
parlance, suggests rest or hindrance,
or obstinacy, etc., but here the word
Ilitch means the opposite. It means
success, steam engines, whiz ! whew !
It takes your breath almost to see
how this man moves.

. The Succession to Judge Wall.
The Washington National Jiepub
licqn reports Senator Ransom as
saying, with reference to; the sucnes
sion to Judge Wai e, that he had
scarcely thought of the matter, but
h:i: mind had at once reverted to that
Eclat constitutioual lawyer and excel
it common-law jurist, Secretary
Bayard. His eminent purity of char
acter would make him anihoncr to the
beach. He also had a very high
opinion of ex-Senator McD-- -.', md
would like to see the Proia:t.tja-elect
him if he gavo the honor to the west.
ihe Senator also thought that if the
President could find a man in New
Yotk like Story, Marshall, or Taney
that he should appoint him.
Representative Henderson is re
ported to have remaked that he had
not given the subject much consider
ation, but did not think jthe appoint
ment would go to the ;South. Be
lieved that if Secretary Bayard was
ten years younger that he would be
certain of the honor.
