That Ltd IO the Onl With M. Fleqaet.
Boalanger, in his speech in the
Chamber of Peputies Thursday pro
poping the dissolution of that body,
said that faob a course was intpera
tive, and that elections ought to be
held before the celebration of the cen
tenary of the revolution of 1789. The
country demanded the institujicn of
new safeguards to secure the repub
lic from tlie attacks of its adversa
ries, against Which it was powerless.
The Chamber of Deputies was failing
into ruin and decay and the country
was trejobling .with emotion at al
ways having presented to it as an en
emy a citizen Who only desired the wel
fare of the republic. The monar
chists were, watching the republic.
expectant of its death agony. The
country felt that its safety demanded
a revision of the constitution. He
did not doubt that the patriotism of
the Deputies was on a level with their
sense of duty; He would do his duty
by demanding the passage of a reso
lution that the chambers, being con
vinced of the necessity for fresh erec
tions; ask;Pjreidetii Carnot for i dis
solution.; t , !4 i -
Premier Floquet reproached Gen.
Boolanger for relying for support
upon the. right (applause from the
left.) He Baid it was not for a man
like Gen. JJoulanger, who was always
absent from the Chamber, - to judge
of the legislative labors or criticise
hard-working ' members. What had
Gen. Boul&nger done ? I
Gen. Bo'ulanger "I made an ap
peal to the country."
M. Flotjuet-j-'The country answer
ed you in the Chaxente election."
M. Spain (Bbnapartist, Deputy for
Charente)-jr"The . country unani
mously pronounced through me for
revision." j .
M. Floquet-" We have never reo
ognized you as one of us. You are a
lingerer in sacristies, in the ante
chambers of princes. We will cele
brate the ' centejnary by again pro
claiming the supremacy of the civil
power. We represent universal suf
frage. bayet rendered more ser
vice to the republic than jou can" do
harm. You demand dissolution. It
is in you? party that it exists. Your
photographs com4 ' from Germany,
where your 'interests lie. (Cheers
from the left apd uproar among mem
bers of the right.)
Gen. Bpulabger "M. Floquet's
speech is j only the utterance, of a
badly educated school-teacher. He
in no way alludes to the general
policy of -revision. He merely makes
personal attacks. I tell him now as
I told him! amid the noise that be
impudently lief ."
After a scene of excitement the
President of the Chamber said that
before applying censure he would al
low Gen. Boolanger to speak,
. Gen. Boolanger asked if censure
was to be applied to M. Floquet ;or
to himself. ; '
The President 'It was you that
first attacked the Chamber. The last
words you uttered make it necessary
to apply a serene rule."
Gen. Boulanger protested against
a regime which did not respect the
liberty oMhe tribune. He said that
n view of the fresiaent s decision he
would resign bis seat. The General
thereupon left the Chamber, followed
by his partisans.
The members 01 the leir stui
claimed that censure should be ap
plied to Gen. Boulanger. 1
The President remarked that Bou-
langer, by leaving the Chamber, did
himself justice. '
M. de Uamartelle, a member of the
right, reproached the President -lor
showing partiality toward u. jrioqiet
This led to a renewal of the uproar.
When order, had been restored a tote
of censure on Gen. Boulanaer was
adopted. The, Chamber then ad
journed until Monday.
The July moon, which is full on
the 23d, will be totally eclipsed on
the 22d. sit will enter the- shadow
a little before U o'clock at night, and
will leave It shortly after 2.85 o'clock
on the morning of the 23d. The to
tal eclipse will take place about mid
night. "Every; observer will remem
ber the total lunar eclipse of Jan. 28,
one of the. most beautiful eclipses,"
says the Providence-Journal, "that
has occurred for many a year, and
noteworthy for 'the unusually bright
copper color of the eclipsed disc in
comparison With previous total
eclipses where the moon was entirely
invisible during the totality. The
presence of Krakatoa dust in the at
mosphere during the eclipse of 1884
is given as the reason that prevented
the earth from reflecting the sunlight
that crazed her atmosphere and thus
rendered the eclipsed moon invisible.
The absenoe of .Krakatoa dust from
the earth s 1 , atmosphere 18 given
in like manner to account fox -the
bright, coppery tinge of the eclipsed
moon during. the total eclipse of Jan.
28. If the weather conditions are
equally favorable it will be very in
teresting to compare the eclipse of
the 22d and 23d with that of Jan. 28
and see if 'the Krakatoa dust theory
is confirmed by the presence of
similar coppery tinge on the disc of
the eclipsed moon. The conditions,
of the eclipse are all that can be de
sired by observers in this longitude
Totality commences when the moon is
almost on the meridian,and continues
one hour and forty minutes, . and the
time from the moon s entrance into
the earth's shadow until she leaves it
is three hours and forty minutes. The
eclipse will be visible generatly
throutrhout North and South Amen
ca and portions of Europe, Africa and
the Pacific Ocean. It is a repetition
of the eclipse of July 12, 1870.

WasmiroTOM, July 13 Sehate.
The Senate at 12 30 went into o; n
executive session and Mr. George re
sumed and finished the speech beg en
by him yesterday in f avoi" of the rat
ification of the fishery treaty.
When Mr. George had concluJeii,
Mr. Dolph, of Oregon, followed iif s
speech in opposition to the ratifica
tion of the treaty.
Mr. Pugh gave notice that he woujd
address the Senate on the fisherj
treaty next Monday. After the adop
tion of a couple of resolutions of in
quiry directed to the departments and
the transaction of some business af
fecting the District -of Columbia the
Senate adjourned till Monday. 1
I mm.
Mr. Blount, of Georgia, submitted
the conference report on the post
office appropriation bill. Agreement
has been arrived at on all the amend-,
ments except that known as the "sub
sidy" amendment. The rate of post
age on Beeds, plants, bulbs, rodts
and scions has been fixed at one cent
for each two ounces or fraction
thereof. ,It is provided that no con
tract for rent of third-class postoffioes
shall be made for a longer period
than one year. The report was
agreed to and then Mr. Bingham, rjf
Pennsylvania, moved to concur in the
Senate "subsidy" amendment with,
an amendment reducing the appro
priation from $800,000 to $450,000,
authorizing the Postmaster-General
to increase the mail facilities not only
between the United 'States and Cen
tral America, South America and the
West Indies, but between the United
States and China, Japan, the Sand
wich Islands and Australia and pro
viding that American ships carrying
mails shall be allowed four times the
rate of compensation they sow receive.
The debate on the amendment Oc
cupied the entire session till the fite
o'clock recess. The question pre
sented in the amendment, said Mr.
Bingham, was not one of subsidy 'or
Bonus but a question as to readjust
ment of compensation under the law
of .1858 as applied to the sailing of
American steamships under the exist
ing conditions of 188S. The steam
ship companies were not paid by
weight out by the amount of sea and
inland postage, and therefore any
change in the rates of postage effected
a change in the compensation paid to
them, and when the law was passed
under which the present
method of payment was es
tablished the rates of foreign
postage varied, but , averaged more
than four times what they are at pres
ent under the International Postal
Union, and be contended that under
these circumstances it was not just to
compensate the steamship companies
n6w under the inflexible law of 1858.
Mr. Blount, of Georgia, opposed
the motion to concur, and expressed
his firm antagonism to the subsidy
system. That system had been fbl-
owel by England, but her action in
this respect was political, the subsi
dies she had given having, as a general
rule, gone to her colonies, with
which she must keep tip
her connection. The same sys
tem as followed by France
and Germany had resulted in throw
ing the lines of these nations into
bankruptcy, and be was opposed lo
the united States inaugurating a$y
such policy, lie compared the 00m
pensation paid for mail transports
lion by sea with that paid for trans
portation of freight and express mat
ter to substantiate his argument that
the former was sufficiently high and
perfectly satisfactory. It was satis
factory to the commercial world arid
to every one except the ship-owners.
The lines to (Jhina ana to Austria now
received from fifty to one hundred
times more for mail transporta
tion- than it did for freight,
and yet it was proposed by the pend
ing amendment to give it four times
much as it now received, lie
spoke by authority when he said that
the Postmaster-General was in favor
of payment of sea and inland postage
only. The Postmaster-General favor
ed neither tho amendment of tee
Senate nor , the amendment of the
gentleman from Pennsylvania, but hje
believed that the existing provision's
for the ser7ice were ample and that
today the United States had the best
mail system on earth.
Mr. Dingley, of Maine, hoped that
whatever objections might be raised
to the Senate amendment they ought
not to affect the House in the decis
ion of the simple question presented
by the amendment of the gentleman
from Pennsylvania. That amend
ment involved a fair and reasonable
mail pay no subsidy pay sufficieat
to justly compensate the American
steamships which plied between the
United States and South America and
the east and enable them to be main
tained; pay sufficient to establish
other American lines to run to the
countries of South America with
whom we desired closer mail and com
mercial relations. The amendmen
gave substantially the same basis Of
pavment as wa provided by the law
of 1858 for the reason that the rate
of sea and inland postage was today
hardly more than one-fourth of what
it had been in 1858.
Mr. Holman, of Indiana, attacked
the principle of the subsidy.
Ms, Owen, of Indiana, discussed
i 11 . . . ..'ii
me amendment irom me oommercia
point of view, and advocated it as
means of advancing the . business in
terests of the United States in the
great consuming countries of South
America. i .
Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, said thai
the argument that American shipping
did not exist because of the rebellion
which occurred twenty-five years ago
was to him all stuff and nonsense, all
fuss and feathers. The trouble was
that tho government had put the
merchant marine in a sort of straight
jacket. It said to people wishing
to engage capital in navigating the
high seas: "Xou cannot engage n
this enterprise unless you buy Ameri
can vessels." This was putting the
merchant marine in a straight jacket.
Applause on the Democratic side-j
lie referred to the country of his
birth Norway as a poor country,
with less than two million inhabi
tants. She was so poor that she could
not subsidize a single ship for a sin
gle year, and yet, with free trade and
free ships, see stood next to the
United States in tonnage and com-
nerce. Applause on the Democratic
ids. la every part of the world

U wealth and all its r sources, Amer-
can shipping cou'd nol ex.&t without

Mr- Dockery, of MiBaour , ruade an
elaborate argument against the sys
tem of subaidy and contended that
the effect of the pending amendment
would be to discourage the building
of additional lines and to enable such
poor men as Jay Gould; Huhs-II Sage
and O. P. Huntington to prevent any
competition being built u with the
acme Mail Steamship Company a
system of subsidy. I'. would not re
vive the merchant marine. That ma
rine had declined because it did not
pay.
It was a plain business propo-
sition. As long as the people of the
United States could do better on land
than on sea they were going to do it-
Speeches were also made by 'Messrs.

A DUEL.
GEN. BOUL ANGER AND PRIME
MINISTER FLOQUET.
TEIT FIGHT WITH 8WOBD3 BOTH COM
BATANTS WOUSDKO OTtllB KKW8.
By Cable to the News and Observer..
Pabis, July 13 As was expected
the insult offered by Gen. Boulanger
to Prime Minister Floquet in the
Chamber of Deputies last evening re
sulted in a duel. The two gentle
men, attended by their seconds, met
in the vicinity of Paris at 10 o'clock
this morning and both combatants
were wounded. The duel occurred
on Count Dillon's estate a' Neuilly
Eur Seine, a short distacca from the
city. Gen. Boulanger wai wounded
in the arm and neck. His wounds are
not dangerous. M. Floquet's hand
was scratched by Gea. Boulanger's
sword. Further than this he was not
touched. Floquet's colleagues in the
ministry were waiting at his house
for the newB of the d uel and were
overjoyed to see the Prime Minister
return safe. He was giv.en an ova
tion. A small crowd of Gsn Bou
langer's followers were in front of bis
house when he returned home.
Noon. Later Details of the du-l
are to the following effect: At the
second encounter Gen. Boulanger
was slightly wounded in the leg and
M. Floquet received a cut on the
right hand. After resting tho men
renewed the fighting for a third
time. Gen. Boulanger made a lunge
at M. Floquet's left breast, but only
slightly touched the mark. Gen.
Boulanger then received a wound in
the throat which put an end to the
encounter. The wound is a severe
one but on account of hemorrhage,
the doctors are unable to decide
whether it is likely to prove serious.
The duel was fiercely fought. Gen.
Boulanger tried hard to kill M. Flo
quet, and threw himself upon him
again and again. When M. Floquet
received the wound in the hand it be
gan to bleed, and the seconds decided
that the tight should be discontinued,
but both combatants refused to stop.
it is now believed that the wound in
Gen. Isoulancer s throat is a serious
one. M. Floquet received scratches
on his hand, chest and foot.
The seconds have made formal re
port in which they state that Boulan
ger received a serious wound in the
neck.
Dr. Menod, who is attending
Boulanger, has issued a bulletin re
garding his condition. It says there
is a deep wound in the right side of
the General's neck and that it causes
marked difficulty in respiration. At
present the Doctor is unable to give
an opinion as to what turn the case
may take.
North Carolina' Confederate Dead.
Car. ol the News and Observer.
OiroED, N. 0., July 12.
The proposition to supply head
stones for North Carolina a heroes in
the beautiful cemetery of Richmond,
Ya , ought and no doubt will meet
the hearty approval of Confederates
spared to contribute to any good
perpetuating the memory of their
departed brothers. Gladly would I
aid in erecting a monument on our
Capitol Square in Rsleigh and con
secrated grounds that contain the
dust of North Carolina's brave sons
(if it were in the power of woman)
with a suitable inscription indelibly
engraved to their memory.
The reading of this proposition and
generous response from two. of North
Carolina s most prominent men
brought fresh from memo:y s store
the unmarked graves of fifty soldiers
on private property.
Uuring a visit to Kittrells a few
years ago, I entered a store to mafce
some purchases, and from the door
noticed a beautiful circle of cedarB
Remarking upon the perfect uniformi
ty of the evergreen circle as if ar
ranged by the hand of men. The
merchant looked surprised, saying,
Madam you do not recognize your
own work. Like a flash of electrici
ty, the poor soldiers who died at
Kittrell Springs reshed to my memo
ry, and how, unaided by any but paid
laborers I had planted the ceder cu
ds around their graves, placing at
the head of each one I had raised
and tufted, a simple board with their
name traced by a rough painters
brush. 'This we git, from generous
people at the springs, subsequently
I made an appeal to the .Ladies Ale
morial Association of Raleigh for
their removal to the Soldiers' Ceme
tery in Raleigh. The railroad officials
promised the free transportation for
the boxes, but no other aid was given
and no further stepB taken for the re
moval. Knowing that these soldiers
are buried on private property which
may be cultivated for gam, the wood
mao's axe will not spare the evergreen
enclosure, if the plough is to level the
mound and scatter the tui f I had so
carefully placed over the raised grave.
I cannot refrain from drawing the at
tentionof Confederate soldiers to their
comrades sleeping in private grounds
liable to be disturbed in after years
If considered unadvisable to remove
the sacred dust cannot some inter
ested officer to attend to the put-
chase of the circle and have a deed
properly registered for the preserva
tion of their quiet resting place. The
name, of each soldier and his regi
ment was carefully preserved by the
physician in "Charge of Kittrell Hos
pital", Dr. Fairfield Butt, of Ports
mouth, Ya-, and no doubt his record
would give some poor mother the fate
of her son as it did a few years ago
to one that I met, who had never
known where her brave bov's bones
were buried. Hoping that this is npt
trespassing upon the duties of any
Confederate Association and if no
steps are taken for removal a deed
may be secured.
I am, respectfully,

At the meeting of the Pan-Presby

office of permanent secretary, and
promised to devote the rest of his life
to the work of seeking to briDg all
sections of the Presbyterian Church
into closer brotherhood. Rfev. W.
H Roberts, D. D., of Cincinnati, who
was unanimously elected as the Amer

sured 1 he Council that he would do
his utm st to secure the highest good
of tho church.
Rev. J. McClellan Holmes, of Al
bany, N. Y., presented the report of
the committee on Dr. Hooper s offer
of 18,000 to found a college in (Jan-
ton, China, with a hope that the
Presbyter an Alliance would increase
thn endowment to 100,000. Tho
committee approved the attempt to
establish a Christian institution in
China, but in view of the fact, that
the Alliance was not a body which
could legally hold property, recom
mended the council to decline the
offer.
Dr. Elliuwood, of New York, read
a paper prepared for the meeting of
the American delegates, denouncing
the liquor traffic with Africa, and
Btated that the work uf missions in
the Congo district was paralyzed by
the influence of trade restrictions.
He proposed to the council the ap
pointment of a committee to thank
the King of Belgium for his influence
in the Congo which was used to pre
vent evils otherwise attending the
question. Dr. John Hall, of New
York, referred to instances in which
the Church was able to create such a
feeling as made national rulers
ashamed to persist in their evil ways.
lu the subsequent debate on the
progress of itomanism Dr. Hall said
it seemed stronger in America than
it really was. Politics contributed
to the eff -ct that one party was al
ways wanting the support of the
Roman Catholica, while tba other had
it. Thus its influence was magnified,
but it included only ons-tenth of the
population, lhis portion was very
no sy and strong in prisons - (laugh
ter) and politics, but it was not
proportionally strong in the religious
life of the community.
Let li Rot be Deceived.
Chariot t Democrat.
The report that Judge Russell, one
of the Republican nominees for Su
preme Court Justice, will soon write
a letter. declining to run and advising
the withdrawal of the Republican
State ticket, should not deceive Dem
ocrats and make them believe that
they will have an easy time triumph
ing over Col. Dockery and his col
leagues.
In the first place, Judge Russell
has very little influence with the Re
publican party of this State, and
never has cad. He is a gentleman

notthesortof man that the average
North Carolina Republican patterns

will take Judge Russell's advice and
quit the field and unite with tho Pro
hibition or third party. The third
party movement may draw away
some Democrats from their nomi
nees, but no Republicans the Re
publicans will stand together solidly,
and vote every man (the macs, man es
pecially) for Dockery and Harrison. Ho
who doubts that has learned nothing by
experience, ihe lact is, tne detection
of a few leading Republicans will
only cause the rank and file to. eland
closer together and work harder for
success. One common working man
who beats up the bushes during a
campaign, is worth three or four set
back-in-the-shade leaders.
Therefore, we must warn Demo
crats not to be deceived by the utter
ances of so-called leaders of promt
nent men. They have but little con
trol or power over the masses, and
their influence is not worth much at
any time. If Democrats would suc
ceed in the approaching elections,
they must organize and work, and not
rely on the defection of this or that
man from the Republican partv. We
Bay'now plainly, that ii will be no easy
task to defeat Col. Dockery he can
be defeated, but it will take earnest
and steady work to do it. Don t put
too much confidence in what Judge
Russell says or does it will not help
the Democratic party. .

Goldsbobo, N. C, July 13th.
Goldsboro executed her part in the
programme of Democratic joli-
fications tonight in rousing style.
At 8 30 o'clock p. m. a laree crowd
had assembled at the Court House
where the procession formed in the
following order: 1st. Chief marshal
and two assistants ; 2d. Speakers in
carriage?; 3d. .The Goldsboro band,
led by Capt. William Ilinson, which,
by the way. acquitted itself greatly
to the satisfaction of all ; 4th. Escort,
composed of the Goldsboro Cleve
land Fowle Club and visiting clubs,
liaurange vemg again well repre-

; 5th. Citizens on foot ; 6th.
The Davis Band of LaGransre, led
by Prof. Jno. Portis. (This band
would be an honor to any town in
North Carolina). 7th. Mounted men
rumbtiing two or three hundred.
ihe procession then moved down
Walnut street to Slooumb, down
Slosumb to Creech, -where the
assemblage was addressed by
Rev. George W. Sanderlin.
Mr. Sanderlin made a most excel
lent speech, after which the proces
sion moved up Elm street to William,
up William to Pine, where it was
again highly entertained for a while
by Hon. A. M. Waddell. It then
moved up Pine to John, up John
to Chestnut i street to Mr. H.
Weil's residence, where Capt. Swift
uaiioway, in , a snort out ap
propriate speech, introduced lion
Daniel G. Fowle. The Judge poured
forth the eloquence of bis soul amid
the cheers and hurrahs of his many
friends of this section. His speech
was, as usual, 0: the vary best and
greatly enjoyed.
Xne procession tnen moved up
James street to Oak street, where it
halted for a while to hear
the good news our Superin
tendent of i Public Instruction,
Maj. S. M Finger, had o relate to his
many friends. It then moved down
Oak street to the Graded School,
and there had the pleasure of hearing
a most excellent speech delivered by
Capt. W. A. Darden. Then the vast
crowd moved down William street tb
Mulberry, up Mulborry io John,
down John lo Walnut and up Walnut
to Humphrey, wbcre it turned its
weary but joyous foot homeward.
As the procession moved , along the
streets it made a grand and beautiful
display. The houses on the route
were beatif ully lighted, and this added
greatly to the brilliancy of the dem
onstration. Ihe procession was
nearly three quarters of a mile in
length, and carried many transparen
cies with various inscriptions upon
Ihem. The number of torches was
400 or more. As we passed
along the streets occasionally a flam
ing tar. barrel was Been to beau
tifully ligbt up the surroundings
as the graud procession passed. The
ratification was one of the grandest
successes that have ever been record
ed in the town of Goldsboro. The

The Republican platform adopted
at Chicago Jast week, was drawn with
the deliberate purpose to deceive.
We refer at this time to only one
fe .ture the internal revenue feature.
The platform favors the repeal of the
x il m 1 : . 1 ,
taxes on touaoco. xms is euner de
liberate dishonesty, or it is a rebuke
to the Republican party in the lower
House of CoDgress,and Mr. McKinley,
who presented the pU;' is one of
the Republican leaders ae House.
Talk is cheap; let us see Low Repub
lican words tally with Republican
actions. On the 3rd of March, 1887,
Mr. Henderson, of North Carolina,
moved the House for the passage of
his resolution providing for the abo
lition of the tax on leaf tobacco, and
for modifications of, the lav govern
ing the distillation of whiskey and
brandy. The voto in favor r f the
resolution stood: Dcmoc-at". 131, Re
publicans, 8; agi: t r solution,
Democrats, 5; publicans, 107. That
looks like the Republicans want to
repeal the tobacco taxes, doesn't it?
8 of them vote to repeal it, and 107
vote against repealing it. Again: in
tho MilJs bill now pending in the
House is a clause repealing the to
bacco taxes, yet the solid Republican
party in the House, with about two
oxceptions,is bending every energy to
defeat the Mills bill, and thus defer
the repeal of the tobacco taxes, and
one cf the ablest and most effective
speeches made against this bill was
the Bpt'joh of Mr. McKinley himself.
He writes fine platforms at Cuicago.and
his associates applaud him, and he
and they then go back to Washington
and vote the otner way. The plat
form says further
"If there shall still remain a larger
revenue than is requisite for the
wants of the government, we favor
the entire repeal of the internal taxes
rather than the surrender of any part
of our protective system.
To this there could be no more
complete rejoinder than that made by
the New York Herald, which says
The Dlatforni commits the Repub
lican partv flatly against all reform
of the tariff. V, demands the repeal
of the tobacco and whiskey taxes if
this is necessary to abolish the but
rdus: but it takes care in o'ber sec
tions to declare for expenditures, for
subsidies, for pensions, for internal
improvements and other purposes on
so vast a scale as to swal'ow up any
reform or decrease in taxation.
The Republican party is the sys
tematic and consistent defender of
the treasury surplus. Many of its
representatives in Congress have
taken the position in their speeches
that a surplus is a bles&ing, and with
this idea and with their extravagant
ideas about pensions, subsidies, &&,
the time will never .come when in
their view "there shall still remain a
larger revenue than is requisite for
the wants of the govermaajit." This
is a spring to decoy woodcocks. It
is a bait throwu out to the Southern
States. It is not intended to mrnn
anything, and already the Ik publican
press of the North is apologizing
for it-
. The action of the Renubl if ana nn
the internal revenue aues ion rw.Hu
their words. Only last week to
make the proof more conclusivt)
when Messrs Johnston and Cowles
sought to get an amendment tacked
on by tho llouso to the sundry tuvU
bill to stop frivolous prosecutions by
uniieu c-iaiei -!un'6hais and commie
sioners, th cnly opposition they en
countered m dilate was f rm tarn
Republican ra rubers, and of the two
Republican members from our own
State, one (NicLols) voted squarely
against the amendment, while the
other (Brower) did not vote at all.
But comiDg lack to the .main
point, if the Rt publicans want to re
peal tho tobacco tax, why did all of
them in the House except 8 voto
against Henderson's resolution to re
peal it ? If it is said that they have
experienced a change of Leart since
the Forty-ninth Congress, we then
ask why are all of them except 2 now
fighting the Mills bill, 'which pro
poses to repeal it ?
j This platform pre:ension is fraudu
lent and hypocritical and will deceive
