TUB ADMIS8IO:S Or
Tit"? FISH TREATY.
By Teleerapb to the News and Observer.
"Washington, April 16. Senate.
Mr. stewart introduced a bill grant
ing a j ecsioa of $5,000 a year to the
widow of Chief Justice Waite, re
niiarkiugthit widows of Chief Jus
tices should h5 placed on the same
fdot'fltir as to pensions, as widows of
Presidents of the United StateH. Re
ferred to tho committee on pensions.
Mr. Hoar offered a resolution
(which was adopted) instructing the
select committee on operations of
civil service to inquire and report
whether there has been within two
years any fraud or mal administra
tion' in the New York custom house
in regard to the importation of
sugar.
Mr. Ridd'eberger offered a resolu
tion for the suspension of the Senate
rules as to the executive sessions
daring the consideration of the fish
ery treaty
Mr. Cockrell "Let that resolution
li over,"
Mr. Sherman remarked that a reso
lution heretofore offered by the Sen
ator from Virginia in exactly the same
term-i, was now pending before the
committee ou oreign relations and
would be reported for action; when
he could not say, nor who her for or
agaiDst, but before the fishery treaty
would come up. He d d not think it
wise to piec pitate debate on the sub
ject now.
$r. Riddleberger "Does the Sena
tor object to the present , considera
tion of the resolution?"
Mr. Sherman. "If the Senator de
Bires this resolution to be referred to
the committee on foreign Relations,
I have no objections."
Mr. Riddle beiger "No, I do not
want another resolution sent to that
grave-yard."
The bill providing for the invest
ment of certain funds in the treasury
was taken up, and Mr. Farwell ad
dressed the Senate upon it. He gave
notice of the intention to offer two
amendments to it; cne directing the
Secretary of the Treasury to sell to
the national banks two and a half per
cent bonds to be used as security for
circulation and the other to permit
the use of approved county, S ate
ot municipal bonds as security for
the circulation of national banks.
Upon the '..conclusion of Mr. Far
well s remarks a running deba'e upon
the questions raised by him, par
ticipated in by Messrs. Stewart and
Reagan, took place.
At J o clock the LUitota Dill came
up and Mr. Spooner took the floor in
support of it. He spoke of Dakota
as the "Wonderland of the Conti
nent" and of the oppos tion to the
bill; as "unjust partisans!! p." In
area, population, iutcligence,morality
and all qualities that make up a State,
at of South Dakota to state
hood could not be questioned. He
could.invite comparison between South
Dakota ana south Carolina in detri
ment to the latter and to several South
ern States; and yet he Baid every Sen
ator from the Southern States stood
athwart the pathway of South Dakota.
Alluding to the remark in Mr. But
ler's speech last week to jChe effect
that the precedent sought to be
established would justify 100,000
socialists or anarchists getting to
gether in thei corner of the Territory
and demanding admission as a State.
He asked what was the objection to
their petition ng for admission What
harm had the petitioning ever done ?
They had the inherent right to try to
get jnto the Union as a State just as
Certain Slates had claimed that they
had the inherent right to try to get
out of the Union (.Laughter.)
Mr. Butler said that he had not de
nied, and that nobody denied the
right of South Dakota tp try to get
in. What he had denied and did deny
' was the claim Bet up by Senator Piatt
that .they had an inherent right to de
mand admission.
Mr. Spooner referred to the sag
: gestibn made by Mr. Butler that 30,
' 000 voters of Dakota had been so in
different to the question that they
stayed away from the polls, and that
therefore the vote was not a fair
expression of the popular will
Mr. Spooner drew a distinction be
tween the cases of voters in the
Northern States who remained away
from the polls through indiflerenee
and of voters in the Southern States
who. weie kept away through intimi
dation. In the former, case there was
no impeachment of the fairness of
f the election, but in the latter case
; there was. If a large number of men
were kept away from the polls not
because of their indifference, but be
cause of the memories of the outrages
r perpetrated and tolerated by intelli
gent men on whole communities and
whole States year after year out
rages by Ku Klux clubs and night
riders; because of tissue ballots, blood
;intimidation, fraud; because of the
I memories of the burning shanties of
. colored Republicans, driven to
; swamps, lashed, exiled, pursued, hunt
fed dowD; because of the memories of
? Yazoo and Copia, then the election
was not a fair expression of the pop
ular will. No complaint he said was
made of Bmailness of votes in the
Southern States, although for too
representatives from Oa., only 26,000
votes in aggregate had been cast
less than the average for each of the
representatives from Wisconsin. It
was hot difficult (Spooner thoaght)
to understand the real motive of op
position to the admission of South
Dakota as a State. In old days when
slavery existed in this country, when
it was the bone of contention,, when
thete was a straggle for political power
between the forces of slavery and the
jforcs of freedom, it came about, not
unnaturally that tho ulave state had
to v come into the Union
along Bide of the free State
and so it seemed that, today (as in
ante-bellum days) 'he exigencies of
Democracy demanded that no new
State, uepubhean in politicsBhould
be admitted unless along side of it
cam in a State that was surely Dem
ocratic. He believed that South Da
kota would not be admitted into the
Union b5' this I'ougres,-', but he would
bid the people of South Dakota to be
patient.
Mr- Vest obtained the fl xr in op
position to the bill
Mr. Pldtt suggested aa understv 1
ing to have a vota on the bill t;kou

could noti agree to it. The bill went

Under a ctll i f the State's the fol
lowing bills -vi 1 resolutions were in
U oduced u i t rife: red:
Bf Mr .Hub rf, of Alabama, pro
viding that tl 9, daily sessions of the
House shall Ix-gin at 11 o'clock.
B Mr ;Coib, of Alabama, Ho pro
tect the rights t f Indians.
By Mri Brrckenridge, of Ohio, a
resolution dtclaratory of the sense of
the House that the Secretary of the
Treasury has power to use the sur
plus at any time in the Treasury for
the purchase of bonds of the United
States, and that so much of the sur
plus as may from time to time be in
the Treasury ought to be so used.
By Mr., 1'helan, of Tennessee, a
resolution calling upon the heads of
the departments for a list, of the Con
federate documents in thei respective
departments.
1 A call of the States having been
completed, the Speaker stated the
unfinished; business to be- a motion to
suspend the rules and pass the bill
extending for one year thJ time for
the completion of the bridge across
Staten Island Sound (to give the Bal-
timore & Unto itauroad direct con
nection with New York Harbor)
After a lbDg speech m opposition
to the bill by Mr. Phelps, and a short
one in favor of it by Mr. Crisp, the
motion to suspend the rules and pass
tho bill was agreed to 116 to 31.
Under instructions frooa his com
mittee, Mr. B;anchard moved to sus
pend the rules and put the river nd
harbor bill on its passage. The reading
of the bill consumed nearly an hour
and a half.
Mr. Anderson, of Kansas, demanded
second and the motion was sec
onded.
Mr. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, said
that he would havo preferred to have
the bill considered in committee of
the whole, item by item .and para
graph by paragraph, but such an op
portumty would not present itself to
ihis Congress. The tariff bill would
be taken up and would occupy eight,
ten or twelve weeks. None of the
appropriation bills, except the Mili
tary Academy bill, had jet been con
sidered. In -view of this fact it would
appear clearly to practical men that
If there wasto be a mer and harbor
bill this session it must be parsed
under a suspension of the rules.
Mr. Blanchard asserted that no bill
had ever come before this House af
ter such a thorough consideration by
the committee as the pending meas
ure. No part of the work had been
done by thei sub-committee, but for
three months the full committee had
had daily sessions and had discussed
every item. I 1 he committee believed
that an emergency existed which re
quired that the bill should be passed
under a suspension of the rules. But
one of the appropriation bills had
passed the House. The House had
received notice that tomorrow the
tariff bill would be failed up, and it
was well known that; its consideration
would occupy five oi e x weeks. At
the end of that time ; all the great ap
propriation bills woald came crowd
ing in before the river and harbor
bill and it would be crushed to death.
The motion to suspend the rules
and pass the bill waa lost yeas 134,
nays UVZ. Not necessary to a two
thirds in the affirmative.
The next opmmittee called wai the
committee on the merchant, marine
and fisheries: Mr. Dunn, chairman,
waived the right of the committee
and yielded the floor to Mr. Wilkins,
of Ohio who; moved to suspend the
rules aid a l?pfc the following resolu
tion :
Jiesolveit, By the Housa of Rapre-
senta'ives that it is the sense of this
House that section 2 of the article
making an appropriation for sundry
civil expenses of the government for
the year ending June dUtli, 1S82,. and
for other purposes, approved - March
3d, 1881, which is as follows : That
the Secretary of the Treasury may at
any time apply the surplus money- in
the treasury hot otherwise appropri
ated'or bo much thereof as he may con
sider proper tp purchase or the redemp
tion of Unitod States .bonds, provid
ed that the bonds so purchased or
redeemed shall constitute no part of
the sinking fund, but shall be re
deemed and Cancelled, was intended
to be a permanent provision of the
law, and the same is hereby declared
to have been since its enactment and
to be now, in the opinion of the
House in full force and effect.
Mr. Wilkins explained that the
sole object of the resolution was that
the House should declare its inter
pretation of law, there being some
boubt in the mind of the president
upon this subject. Mr. Wilkins'
resolution wis adopted, 139 and 64.
It is practically identical with Mr.
Spooner's substitute for the House
bill, authorising the Secretary of the
Treasury to purchase bonds with the
surplus- Mr. Wilkin's explanation of
its object, corresponds with that giv
en by Mr. Spooner when he offered
his substitute. Messrs. Weaver,
Bland and: other silver men
opposed Mf. Wilkins' resolution
becau se it meant the death and burial
of Mr. Beck's silver coinage amend
ment to Mr. pooner u substitute.
The Spooner-Beck bill is now be
fore the ways and mesns committee,
and Mr. Weaver held that it would
hae been jdst as easy if the House
had so desired to call up that bill and
take the vote" upon Mr. Beck's clause
as it had been to take a vote pon
this declaratory resolution alone.
Mr Bramm urgued that the resotu
tion had been improperly brought be
fore the Mouse.
Mr. KcMiliir, oa behalf of the ways
and means committee, said that owing
to tlie recent dead lock in the House
that the committee had not been able
to hold a meeting since the bill came
back'from the Senate. Speaker Car
lisle explained that today had been

: Letter From !1r. Itttsbee.
To th ' Klitor of the Xeirs awl Ob
sei ccr
Raleigh, April 16, 1S88.
No prologue or elaborate lej iinJ.-r
to the second deliverance of Solicitor
Argo will be reqviired, either upon its
law or the morahty it seems to incul
cate. If his first utterance had been
as temperats and praiseworthy as his
find statement that he will "proceed
fairly and dispassionately with due
regard to the rights of all concerned,
in such manner a3 the demands of
my (his) official station, quasi-judicial
in its nature and duties, may require,
any thing, &c.,'' there would have been
no necessity for any sta'ementby my
self. Manifestly he has learred dis
cretion.: It is true that t' e demand upon,
the Canadian government is made by
the United States, and that I repre
sented the demanding government,
and was instructed by tho State De
partment; but it is equally tru that
the Gove; nor of North Carolina in
the matter of extradition represented
the plaiptiff in the indictment. Un
der the recent act concerning extra
dition procedure in Canada (which
does not appear, in Spear's work on
Extradition), and the practice there
under, the seal of the Stato is recog
nized, as I was informed by the Crown
Attorney, and the State is treated in
effect a a party to the indictmenf.
But it is truly fortunate that al
though the Governor was functus,
and I was functus, there was still left
one person upon whose shoulders as
upon the fabled Atlas, the State
rested, one who vas fully authorized
to speak for the whole State, and
who could say what "North Carol;na
consents", or does not consent to,
and like:Louis the Fourteenth could
exclaim VJJetat e'est ?noi.r1 (I am the
State!) : j
As fori the willingness of the pris
oners to return to the State, let Mr.
Argo consult Mr. Heartt, to whom he
2 " ' lMr-ii t riit - -y
were ready to come only upon
a guaranty that they would not be
prosecuted at all. It was not until
the proceedings were about to be in
stituted : that their learned counsel,
seeing that extradition in the end
would be inevitable, concluded to
waive the costly delay that regular
proceedings would occasion, and ad
vised them to return as if extradited.
As a learned judge writes in a per
sonal letter to me, "They don't ap
pear to have made much out of your
agreement, for it only carries out the
decision ; in 119 U. S. Reports, U. S.
vs. Ranscher."
I had then to choose between regu
lar proceedings involving a delay of
eeks, perhaps months, at the expense
of the unfoitunate depositors, result
ing in auextradition upon two charges
of forgery, or a voluntary return, upon
an agreement to receive them as ij
extradited, upon three charges. I
chose the latter. Mr. Argo's letter
S9ems to!8Uggest though I am glad
to say ha does not directly advise a
third course i that is, to "induce a
criminal fugitive to return by fraud,"
when, under the law (and I admit the
accuracy !of his citations), he could be
tried for any offence. That course at
no time suggested itself to me, and I
am sure; that neither Mr. Argo nor
any other honorable man would ven
ture to commend such an act of cokl-
f blooded duplicity.
But it is singular that the Solicitor
nowhere states in what respect either
the State or himself has been put to
any disadvantage. What does he
want to do ? What right has been
put in jeopardy ? Suppose the, pris
oners had bean captured at the first
station after they left, for what of
fences could they have been indicted
or tried in Wake Superior Court f
The Solicitor always deals in high-
sounding generalities, and in- state
ments of daw that for the most part
I have never disputed, and never de
scends to plain statements of fact.
Does he wish to try them for embezzle
ment " The law says that "an officer
of a national banking association can
not be punished under State laws for
embezzling the funds of the assoc a
tion." 92Penn. St. 372; 101 Mass.
204. For obtaining money from the
Norfolk and Richmond banks by false
pretences f But those offences were
committed in the State of Virginia
where the telegrams were roceived
and the money delivered to the ex
press corbpany.
1 or the forsrerv of the notes de
posited as collateral with the Park
National iiank in JNew xorKT mere
is no evidence as to the place where
these notes were forged, except .that
they were uttered in New York, and
as the law presumes the forgery waa
committed there, the courts of Now
York have exclusive jurisdiction, U.
S. vs. Bntton, 2 Mar., 464.
The course taken by the Solicitor
shows that he took this view of the
matter himself, because with a grand
jury in session the only bills sent
were those jor forgery, it there nau
been any; other prosecution contem
plated, would he not have sent in
dictments, and ought he not then to
have notified Vr. Heartt, BinceT.wns
unfortunately functus.
Most tif the uneasiness in the pub
lie mind: has grown out of certain
statements in the press that there was
some doubt about the conviction of
the defendants upon the charge of
torgery though the Solicitor, I do him
the justice to say, hss given forth no
such opinion.
I do not regard il as proper to dis
cuss the probable guilt cf defendants
iu a pendicg case, because the, law
declares them innocent until the con
trary is proven. j
But it is not improper to state the
law concerning forgery, as I under
stand it, applied to tun or any (other
case. ,
"To counterfeit auy writing with a
fraudulent intent whereby another
may be prejudiced is forgery at com
mon law." 3 Hawks (N. C) 387.
"The fa'sa making cf an ins'ruinoat
with intent to defraud without an;
tittering amounts to forgery." 15
Mar-s , 52(1. "If a writing be forged
with intent to defraud the cr.mo of
forgery is complete, n'oi if noon he
defrauded thereby. ' I Ba--. (S C )
120.
It can hardly be deuie J that if bark
officers place forged notes among the
eronuiue notes cr the bank, . either to
dec iva the other officers of the bank,
or to d?cive a national bank exam
iner by a fabio showing of assets, or
to induce confidence in djpositors, or
with any other unlawful or fraudu
lent intOLt whatsoever, the crime of
forg'-ry s coniplote. The fraudulent
intent, unless rebutted by evidence,
is generally presumed.
Filially, I am by implication ceu
surcd by Mr. Argo cot only for not
remaining at tLe expense of the
robbrd depositors to secure formal
extradition upou pro charges rather
than a surrender upen three, but also
for attempting to secure the return
of tho $24,714 to the. United States.
As special receiver, if I had not
used every reasonably endeavor lo
b;in.; this money back lo await tho
determination of the questions of law

to Jin

the President or Cashier of the State

express to the bank, or to the cashier
upon the credit of and for the use of
tho bank;, aud was. received by the
provident or cashier, the proper cffi

New York exchange for the amount
drawn by the biak through its proper
officer w;is sent in return lor it,
whether tho officers embezjled the
money brfora it rcasheJ tho bank's
vaults or not, the State National
Bank became liable for it. If the
money had not fortunately been re
covered we would never have heard
of their claim. And if the bank is
liable, it would seem that the money
should go to the receiver, to be di
vided among all the creditors equally.
It is a hard ca30 for the banks who
were deceived and defrauded, but their
case is in no respect harder than the

The people of Martin county desire
to cast their vote for Daniel G. Fowle
for Governor. There is no senti
mentality in this, but the unbiased
wishes of every one. Ho is entitled
to the nomination. He won it in
1876, and ever since have his actions
and work added to his great popu
larity with the people and their af
fection for him.
L3t the masses of the people re
member that three years ago when a
Solicitor General wa3 to be made by
the President, the press from all
parts of North Carolina said Judge
Fowle should receive the appoint
ment and were loud in his praises
The press was right. The people
backed it. Now let the press echo
the sentiments of the people and
Judge Fowle will be nominated by
acclamation. The same enthusiasm
of '76 will be again when it is an
nounced that Judge Fowle is to
lead us.

Malion, N. C. April 14.
I see it stated in your valuable pa
per that Judge Fowle is the favorite,
or first choice of the Democrats of
McDowell for Governor. Tho Demo
crats of McDowe'l county will sup
port the nominee of the convention,
but it is a mistake to say that
Judge Fowle is their jirst choice. The
masses of the people of McDowell do
not kuow Judge Fowle, while they
know Charley Ste.man intimately
and I know whereof I speak when I
say that McDowell county is solid for
Stedman f or Governor and will sup
port him in the convention at Ral
eigh. Yours &c,
