occupied by a struggling mass of hu
manity anxious to have part in the
first reunion of the twx great bodies
of the Presbyterian Church in Ameri
ca since ' the division more than

In the Academy! of Music
Rev. J. . Bullock, D.D., Moderator

when R9v Dr. Bullock was intro
duced as Ihe presiding officer there
were thunders of applause. He was
presented by Dr. Smith j ox-Moderator
of the Northern Assembly, and when
Dr. Smith; said, in welcoming the
Southern guests, that the audience
should remember that; the members
of both these great assemblies were
'resbvterians above ail things, and
that the brethren from the South had
crpssed th Mason and Dixon line
almost without knowing where the

of enthusiastic applause. They were
of: the same ancestry, the same faith
and the same crlorious history. Then
the 5,000 rpeople rose, and sang
Praise God; from Whom All Bless

Dr. Bollock, as a representative of
the Southern Assembly, in a brief bat
eloquent address, cordially; recipro
cated the fraternal sentiments of the
brethren frdim the North, and said
that whatever might be the final dis

There was no obstacle that be knew

By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
WAsniNOTOH, D. C, May 24. The
corner-stone of the Divinity Building
of the new Catholic University of
America was laid this afternoon under
most unfavorable weather conditions.
The day was as unpleasant a day in
May as could tossiblv be. It began
to rain during laatf night and the rain
or drizzle continued uninterruptedly
till night As a consequence the new
grounds and the unpaved country
roads around the buildings were cut
up by the tramp of many feet and
the wheels of vehicles until the mud
was almost imrjassable. The canvas
and bunting which had been stretched
over the grand-stand to protect the
people from the rain, but indiffer
ently answered its purpose.
These discomforts deterred all
save the bravest and only about 3,000
people were present where fully 25,
600 were expected, and the grand
procession under the direction of
Gen. lvosecrans, which was to have
been an imposing feature of the cere
monies had to be abandoned. The
programme of the religious services
was but partially carried out. The
ceremony of blessing the lite of the
chapel and laying the corner-stone
was 'postponed on account of ram.
These ceremonies will be performed
at a future date. President Cleve
land was present, occupying a seat
on the platform between Cardi

With the - President were also

Cor. News and Observer,
For several days our section has
been visited by ; heavy rains. Some
"damage done to the crops on the tbot-
tom lands. The wheat j crop is very
good. The fruit is not a total fail
ure.: The crop of candidates is very
thin as yet. From our township only
one as yet beard from: others may
perhaps be waiting till the waters be
come more troubled. There was, nowi
ever, a very good attendance at the
political club meeting a few days ago.
1 vqi town nas oeen very quiet ior
some time, but the citizens are be
coming somewhat excited on the tin
subiect. Veins ! have been dis
covered recently near the town.
Several gentlemen representing
Northern capitalists have the hind
along the tin belt bonded. Some
property has a fixed price, and there
a bond could not be obtained. Mr.
Furman, representing a New, York
company, has been here since, last
December. For three months past
he has had a good number
er of hands
at work night and day. Machinery
has recently been pat into operation.
One shaft about sixty feet has been
driven and others of less depth along
the vein. The repbits of the dyna
mite used in blasting remind us of
war ; times. No doubts are enter
tained as to the quality or quantity
Some of the ore was shipped from
this point a few days since and it is
generally believed this company will
take; up the bonded property on the
first of June, as the quantity and
quality will justify them in continuing
operations. Real estate has advanced
25 per cent within the ?past ninety
days, we expect a Doom to Durst
upon us soon after the first of June
on the, taking up of these bonded
properties.
The King s Mountain gold mine is
in full force again. The Ormond iron
mine, about two and a half miles off,
in fine working order, employing
about sixty hands and shipping quite
quantity of ore. A Pennsylvania
company is prospecting for mica with
results that are very nattering.
You see, Mr. Editor, from these
prospects before us we cannot doubt
the coming of a boom, btrt still we
have a "Thomas" or two among us.
No ' Bering chickens yet on the
market but the growing prospect
keeps us in good heart. t,.

Forsyth Superior uourt is in ses

ness is being rapidly dispatched and
evil-doers are being disposed of ac
cording to justice. Colonel William
B. Glenn is acting solicitor during the
absence of Mr. Settle. He left a good
substitute, for Bill (Jlenn has few

The negro man Will Houston, who
shot and killed a colored woman here
yesterday is in jail, and as a true bill
has been found against him by the
grand jury, he wi!l no doubt be tried
this court.
A convention was held here to-day
for the purpose of selecting delegates
to the Congressional Convention to
be held iu Greensboro, and also to
the State Convention. The meeting
was a large, enthusiastic and harmo
nious one, and was organized by the
election of Mr. J. W. Gnfhth as chair
man, and the representatives of the
Democratic press of Winston and
Kernorsville as secretaries. It was
decided lo allow every democrat in
the county te act as delegate to the
two Conventions. Mr., J. 0- Buxton
was unanimously endorsed for Con
gress, and the Cleveland and Scales
administration was also endorsed.
Mess. ITS. Gleun and C. B. Watson
made excellent speeches in favor of
the resolutions of endorsement.
From . present indications the
Democratic line will be un
broken iu the coming fight,
and this section of North Carolina
will do its duty and this Congres
sional district will redeem itself from
its present state of representation.
I do not think this section will . be
affected much by the third party men
or the Knights of Labor. People see
the necessity of a straightforward,
unadulterated political fight, "and
knowing their duty they will dare
doit." -
We arejhaving fine weather up here,
a second lediuon 01 winter, it rains

FOB DELEGATE AT LARGE,
THE HON. WALTEB L. STEELE OF RICH
MOND COUNTY. J
Cor. ol the News and Observer.
The appointment ol proper men
by our State Convention to represent
Xiortb Carolina m tbe national con
vention is not receiving the attention
which its importance demands. It
has been the habit of the gentlemen
appointed to attend the convention
to. nave a good time and then return
and detail their, experience to a host
of admiring friends and then let
somebody else do the work in elect
ing the candidates that they help to
select- We think that the delegate
to the national convention should be
a man who when he returns home
will take the stump to sustain the
wisdom of his selection. The Hon.
Walter L. Steele is such a man: he is
a staunch, unflinching Democrat, and
has never been a laggard in any po
litical campaicrn
The writer had the pleasure to hear
him at Lumberton, in 1880, and heard
his address there pronounced as one
of the ablest and most logical and
convincing arguments he ever deliv
ered in the cause of Democracy.
Send him as a delegate to St. Louis
and the Democracy of North Carolina
will nave their will faithfully. re
corded and their nominees enthusi
astically advocated.
