Our. of the Mews and Observer, f j Chapel Hill, April 27. i It has been often said ibat North Carolinians do not write history, they make history. This ia true. We bare Etid far too little attention to the story of oar. State. The deeds of our fathers are allowed to go cm Chronicled or are written by aliens and strangers who misstate facts and misinterpret motives. No North Caro linian ia encouraged to enter this de partment of literature and if be does enter, his reward is to be soon over whelmed ia forgetf ulaess. This ought slot to be. We should encourage our historians, though their work may be imperfect, and give them a high rank among our great men, I refer to Joseph Seawell Joi-es, of SLocco, Warren county, N. C. Appleton Cyclopaedia of Biographv says he was born rrobably in North Crrolina in 1811. He was graduated at the Har vard law School in 1833. Ia 1834 he published "A Defence of the Revolu tionary History of Not th Carolina." This book is a clever controversial treat defending the authority of the Hecclenburg Declaration of Independence- He ia a true lover of his native State and sometimes allows his love to get the beiter of his judgment. He attacks the aspersions cast by Jefferson on Wm. Hooper. Shos hat pur Declai ation preceded Jeffer son's by thirteen months and ihat Che Virginia statesman wa moved by jealousy to call Hooper a To.-y. Ia 1833 he published "Me morial a of North Carolina." In 1853 he published "My Log Cabin in the Prairie." Jones removed several years before his death to Tishimlngo County, Miss, and lived the life of a hermit. He died n 1855. He was a Bjan of ability, but full of oddities and whims; a man of brilliant social gifts and well known in New York Oily and Washington. Once he went out to fight a duel in Rhode Inland The Governor heard of the affair and offered $500.00 reward for his arrest, Jones wrote him that $500 00 wo -Id bSukt upt the treasury of Rbode Is Ucd ami tbe next time he would fight across the miserable little State. I'i'hjig is all that ia known of Jo: Sea Well Jones. Hia contributions to Vtit history are of lasting value. He deserves a fuller and a better biogra phy. j Will not? some one of your readers, Mr. Editor, write a full sketch of hia life for your columns? It must be done soon or never.

PROCEEDINGS YE3-ERD1Y SENATE AND HOUSE. IN THE BETiTE BILL FOR EP.IDQE3 OVKB TOE CAJ-K F21R, BLACK ASD SOUTH EAST KIVEISS PASSES THE nOUSE OTHER SEWS. By the New and Obsen er. WxaniNGTON, April 25. HouaE On motior; of. iVJr. McClammy, of North Cirolina, the Senate bill was passed authorizing the construction of bridges across the Cipe Fear, Black and North East Rivers in North Carolina. Mr. Dunn, of Arkansas, from the committee on merchant marine and fisheries, reported, and the House adopted,: the resolution calling on the Secretary of the Treasury- for infor mation relative to the seal fisheries in Alaska. : After a short discussion as to whether it was competent for the House to proceed today to the consideration of private business, the Housa went into committee of the whole (Mr. Springer, of Illinois, in ihe chair), en the tariff bill. Mr. Brewer, of Michigan, eladU welcomed the issue presented by the pending measure. Ia times past the Democ a ic pariy had sought to evade he issue. In its platform of 1884 it had declared for protection, for free trade, for incidental protection, for a tariff for revenue only and for tariff only for revenue so that the voter could construe the platform to suit his own convictions. In Kentucky the piatform mean free trade. Iu ennsylvania, New York and Con necticut and New Jersey tb.6 gentle man fiom Pennsylvania (Mr. Randall) was able to make voters believe it meant protection. By reason of fraud and intimidation practiced in one sec tion of the country, and by means of deception practiced by the Demo c ratio leaders in another section, the Democratic candidate for President had been elected. For three years of Democratic administration the Democratic party in the House bad played fatt and loose on the great tariff question until the necessities of the government had compelled the administration to take , some decided position, and he honored the - Presi dent for having forced his party to stop its double deal IDA. and define its attitude. He then advocated the pro tective system as on which tended to increase the wages of labor, and in support of bis proposition he cited various statistic prepared by Com missioner Wright to show that the rates of wages in this country largely exceeded those of the workingmeu of England. ; He wanted to see lUat sys tem contiaued t'hich had made tuis land erow and proxper bevond a'l others. Protec ion had built up our varied industrie i and had enabled the United States to retain the balance of trade in her favor. Mr. Ford, of Michigan, said that the question presen ed now was one of tariff reduction, not abolition. It was true that the bill reported; by the majority of the committee on ways and means proposed to enlarge the free list, bat the main object of the measure was to reduce, not abolish the tariff! ' In considering this ques tion Congress should not seek to build up the industries of aty one St&te at the expense of other parts of tbe country. In all its legislation- it should consider the general welfare of the entire nation. Not what might benefit a few, but what policy would m jet add to the happiness an 1 pros perity of all the people of the United Sta ea. That the present tariff Jaw did not in its application add to the prosperity of the great mass of the people mast be evident to every fair- minded, Unprejudiced maa. A tariff which gave a co mpa ativel small num ber of men ihe right aud opportunity to tax millions of our citizens -47 per cent more than their goods would sell for in open market could not fail to have the result of building up and maintaining vast monopolies and trusts whose enormous p ofits were swelled and increased by the tnbu e which tho tariff authorized them to levy from-the pockets of the people. Congress bad no right to tako the part of a few manufacturers against the great .; body of consumers. But f.nt was fast what had beau done. Our war tariff declared for high prices fur the producer of iron and low prices for the producer of corn; h'gh puces for the producers or giSss aud low prices for the producers of wheat. The present tariff tax aimed to St curs to a few manufacturers the ui. posal of their 'goods at a larce ; i.iolii To do that their prices must b raised. To raise their prices the sup ply of their foreign competitors must be diminished To diminish supply was to create scarcity. The fuel of the matter was that the tendency of prices was to cheapen constantly, not on account of taxes imposed by our war tariff but owing to the improved means of transportation and produc tion. Prices had declined every vhere and the prices of agr cultural produc tions, which our war tariff did hot benefit to any appreciable extent, had declined 'out of all proportion to thoae of manufactured commodeties and, as usual, the farmer had got the worst of it. .Prices had declined the world over. They had declined iu free trade England and in Cn.na as well as in the U. S. The price in this country of nearly every article on which our war tariff was imposed would be a good deal cheaper today if tbe tariff were reduced. He ridiculed the po sition taken by the protec ionists that a high tariff increased the wages of American workers. No industries, he said, showed more poverty, more destitution and more strikes among their working classes than those of the so-called protected ones. There was not a hod carrier in tLe United States but who earned more wages than tbe average person employed iu the industries benefited by the w tariff. He attributed the existence of pools; to the continuation of the high tariff, and in conclusion said : "Tiuata and combines have got a monopoly of tbe market. They have got suca a grip pn the , pockets of the people under the guise of protection to the American laborer that it is a difficult task to force them to relax it. Here tofore all attempts to shake them off by a substantial reduction of the tariff have, failed because they have been powerful enough to defeat every effort in that direction. They have vilified and abused tbe advocates of the reduction of tariff taxt ion They have accused them of being enemies of the country's welfare, of being in league with the British, in fact they have appealed to every instinct of the American people, both selfish and patriotic, to vote to sustain this sys tem of war tariff taxation. Bat I bel eve the time has now come when the people and particularly the far mers of the west are awake to tho truo. meaning of this issue and they will soon speak in tones not to be misunderstood, and demand that Congress pay some heed to the great body of the consumers of this nation and pass a measure relieving them of a portion of tho taxes which the war tariff now compels them to pay for the benefit of a few manufac turers." Applause Mr. Goff, of AVest Virginia, spoke in opposition to the bill. 'The re duction of the tariff, he said, should be made by the friends of the pro tective system and not by its avowed enemies. The bill, he said, was con ceived by minds impregnated with vicioasness, and its passage would be the death-kuell of protection. It was not all that its friends hoped for; it was in the line of leg station tney lontj had sought aud mourned be- cause they fouud it not. He declared himself a protectionist. Mr. Lands, or Illinois, submitted an argument in support of the bill aud in opposition to the protective theory. While heartily advocaiing the bill he regretted that it touched whisky and tobacco taxes which, in stead of being reduced, should be, he thought, increased. He hoped that the bill would pass and that every member who voted against it for the purpose of continuing the granting of enormous bounties to manufactu rers would meet with poll ical death and would be buried under the t allot in November next below the resurrec tion line. The commi'tee then rose and the House at 5 o'clock took a recess until 8 o'clock, the evening session to be for the consideration of private pen sion bills.

By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Louisville, Ky., April 27. The Presbjtory of Louisvi le has adopted the following concerning the union of the nor hern and southern church es: In reference to the question of union between the Presbyterian church of the United States of Amer ica and the Presbyterian church in the United States, commonly desig nated as the northern and southern Presbyterian church, the Presbytery of Louisville, now in session, express es the following j idgment, viz: Un til our northern brethren can se their way clear to adopt the policy of or ganizing the colored people of the northern States into separate church es, presbyteries and synods of their owu, aud until there shall be a clear er and fuller understanding brought to bear upon the minds of many of our peop'e in reference to their in terpretation and application of those pomts of our common ecclesiastical polity that now deal with secular and political questions, we judge that he qciiet, peace and prosperity of both churches will be best secured by ceasing to agitate or prosecute the question of organic union, at least for the present. We have reached this judgment from opinions ex pressed among ourselves, as well as opinions and judgments that come to ua through various sources, from dif ferent parts of our Southern Church. Whatever, therefore, mav be 'he indi vidual views, feelings and desires of some Of the members of this Pres by ery in regard to the great ques tion of organic union, yet for the sake of harmony, aud to await the unfolding of God's providence in the future, we do all now join in the above expressed judgment; and, while expressing ourselves thus, we, at the same time, affirm that we cherish toward our northern brethren the most kind and fra ernal feelings. We admire their learning and ability, acknowledge their piety, zeal and en terprise in preaching and extending pread and triumphs of tbe gos pel, commend their interest in and labors for the intellectual and spirit ual advancement of the South- t si .. ern colored people, oeaeve tney ae of dike faith and order with oar selves, and do therefore moat heartily rejoice in their grow ing power and prosperity. Their standards of doctrine and church order are our standards what ever differences of view may obtain between them and us in reference to the exact interpretation of a few points contained in these Hence their success everywhere is, in part at least, our success. We are one in the true Scripture sense even in the absence of a visible or accomplished organic union. THE INDIANA. DEMOCRATS. A GLOWING TRIBUTE TO THS AD1CIND3TBA TION OF PRESIDENT CLEVELAND. The Democratic State convention of Indiana met Thursday in Iildian- apolis, as a'teady reported. Charles I. Jewett was chairman. In opening the convention he paid a glowing tribute to the administration of Presi dent Cleveland, and when he sug gested that the next ticket might be Cleveland and Gray, he was greeted with Wild cheering and continued ap plause. The same was the case when tne name of Hendricks was men tioned. George V Howke, of Floyd county, and Allen Zollers, of Fort Wayne, were nominated for Supreme Court judtrea ; Courtland C- Matson, of Putnam county, for Governor, and William R Myers, of Madison county, for Lieutenant Governor. The ticket was completed by the nomination of Robert W. Myers, of Monroe county, tor Secretary of State ; Charles A Munson, of Allen, Auditor: Thos. B Byrnes, of Evansville, Treasurer, and John W. Kern, of Howard county, Reporter of Supreme vouru Wm- H. English was chairman of the committee of resolutions. The platform renews its pledges of fidelity to the Constitution and the time-honored doctrines of the Democ racy and congratulates tbe people upon tbe eminently successful ad ministration of President Cleveland; it praises Senators V oorhees and Tor pie to whom it says: "Well done, good and faithful public servant," and it endorses tbe adminis' ration of Gtov ernor Gray and commends him to the Democratic National Convention as the choice of the Democrats of In diana for Vice-President; instructing the delegates to present his name to the convention for that high office and to cast tneir votes lor mm as a unit, while his name is before the national convention as a candidate A Wobub Baaljr Bmraed.

Til HOT SPRIJOS COTTKJTIOJr IS BEHALF OF IMMIGRATION TO THE SOUTH. Special Cor. ot the News and Observer. Hot Sparsoa, N. O., April 26. The Southern Immigration Associa tion is the name adopted by the con vention for promoting immigration to the Southern States which sat here all day yesterday and which ad journed late last night subject to the call of Governor Lee its President. The convention as far as it has gone and as far as can be seen has accomplished all that it undertook. It has been well atteDde4 by repre sentative men from eleven Southern States, numbering in all one hundred and fifty. It went at its woik with a business-like determination and did what it had to do with the promptness that Btamps serious effort. THE GENERAL PLAN is fostered by the railway and steam ship lines that carry the commerce of the south. This may be aoid o be the first uni ed effoitthat these great agencies have interested themselves in. There have been sporadic and fitful experiments made by single railroads and occasionally by a cour teous agreement of two or more, but there has not been any earnest co op eration for this purpose. This isal to gether a hopeful sign. Then, too, it I is under the auspices of the churches) tians, as, as-been vainly supposed by some, but under the seal of divine in stitutions and with the aid and en couragement of their' ministers. Tuis is done in ordet to secure the best class of intending immigrants, whether they com from our own country, north and northwest, or from foreign countries. Immigrants will come with the approval and en couragement of m nisters at their homes to ministers in their future lo cations The class of people who have won such unfortunate and odious no toriety in the great centre of the west, the anarchists aud mormons would not have come under such auspices as these and will not likely receive very fluttering letters of recommendation ia the future under the new plan. Again, the States cities aud leaser political bodies give lt their encourag inent. Ltstly, the self interest of real estate companies and of individ uals will greatly aid and advance it. THE ADDRESS prepared by tbe com mi tee, of which Col. A. B. Andrews was- a leading member and Col. Ballard Johnson, of Kentucky, chairman, is excellent in matter and style. There is an agree able absence of commonplace super lative adjectives and a discriminating and judicious use of woods that will make it an effective agent in gaining the confidence of the public. It ap peals first to home emigrants, then to foreign. A skeleton of tbe plan is that corporations, com nunities and individuals become members upon paying in $1,000 and will have repre sentation in direction in proportion to contributions. There will be a general office in New York and Mr. John D. Keily will be the principal director. It is proposed by advertising the South generally and sections in proport on as they seem disposed to help them selves to bring in a good class of set tlers. The railways will give, in ad dition to subscriptions very low rate for persons and effects. Ihe organization starts lue witn tbe benediction aof religion, the sponsor ship of great names and the fairest field for its work on the globe. It would have done all North Caro linians good to have heard the ringing words of praise accorded to North Carolina for the brilliant pioneer work done in the work of immigra tion. Mr. Dawson, of South Caro lina, spoke of the exhibit at Boston as the harbinger of the new prosperity of the South and a model for all time. Col. Johnson and Prof. Proctor, of Kentucky, pronounced the North Carolina exhibit at New Orleansthe gem of the greatest industrial ex hibit ever made. Ia fact every speaker made more cr less reference to it and the profound impression that great lesson made was evident in all that was done and said. It was the best opportunity that has ever occurred for one of North Carolina's best speakers to have made a reputation co-extensive with the best half of the Union in a half houi 's address. . The personnel of the convention was equal to any representative as sembly ever -held in the South. Cardi nal Gibbons is an imposing, dignified, earnest-looking prelate, very modest and gentle in manner. People who know him will remember that there wasn't a better Democrat in North Carolina than he when h6 was a priest here and he is a Southern m n to the marrow. He was born in Baltimore and has lived in Louisiana, North and South Carolina all his life. Governor Gordon made an xcel lent speech. Governor Richardson made the not uncommon mistake with the good people of his neighborhood of auppoaing that there waa but one Slate in the South. But the conven tion did not seem to mind it. Gov ernor Lee presided with his usual urbanity and the very look of him was ood. When the North Carolina delega tion waa called upon to rise and go into committee eight of the Alabama delegation, a majority of it, rose and unconsciously straggled in. They were all born in this State. Four fifths of the convention were Protes tants. Col. Tom Holt made a short but well-timed speech and cairied his point. Col. Johnston also made a well-timed speech of a few minutes. The centre of a group of friends, seeming to know everybody and thoae whom he did not know all knowing him, was our distinguished friend Col. W. L. Saunders, Secretary of State. His health is much im proved by his stay in the South. Col. A. B. Andrews was in demand as usual, working on commit (ees and cutting out work for others with his usual restless, never-tiring spirit. Prominent also among the North Carolinians were Judge George How ard, Gov. Armfield, Theo. Klutz, Col. Tom Kergh, Richmond Pearson, Col. Frank Coxe, A. W. Haywood, 8. H. Wiley, Col. MsLeod i of Aaheville, R. M. Furman, Capt V. McBe?, Mr. Bohannon and Mr. Murrill, Col. J. L. Morehead, Jas. Norfleet, Col. Cunie of W ilmington, Col. F. W. Kerchner, Alex. T. LDndor, Col. D. S. Troy, Col.jFagfe. P. M. Wilson. THE CITY'S VOV.1G DEMOCRACY. ORGANIZATION' OF A YOUNG MEN S DEM OCRATIC CLUB ENTDCSIASM AMONG THE VOUNO DEMOCRACY. Last night a cumber of tbe young Democrats of the city met at the Cot ton Exchange and effected an organi zation which will bo known as "The Young Men's Democratic Club of Raleigh." H. W. Ayer was elected temporary chairman, and Jno. T. Davis was elected temporary secre tary. The objects and aims of the club were discussed by a number of those present, and much earnest and genuine enthusiasm was manifested. On motion of K. W.
