On motion of Mr. Blount, of Oeorg;,
Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, was elected '
Speaker pro tern, to act daring the
temporary absenoo of the Speaker.
Mr. Kogerp, of Arkansas, from -the
committee on the judiciary, reported
the resolution (as a substitute for. the
one offered by Mr. Dubois, of Idaho)
hailing on the Attorney General for
information as to the number of ci
viotions that have' been made for the
offences of polygamy, adultery and
unlawful cohabitation in Utah and
Idaho, and as to the number of par
dons granted to prisoners so con
victed. Mr. Dubois, who originated the
resolution, advocated its adoption and
d sclaimed any intention by the offer
ing 'of the resolution of reflecting
upon President Cleveland's action in
granting pardons, though he regard
ed executive clemency as encouraging
the violation of law.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. Burnes, of Missouri, moved
that the House go ; into committee of
the whole on the deficiency appropri
ation bill. 1 .
Mr. Dibble, fcf South Carolina,
hoped the geatleman would let the
bill go over until Tuesday next, at
which time ho expected there would
be a large number of members pres
ent who were friendly to the French
spoliation claims. ;
Mr. Burnes refused to accede to this
request. j
No quorum voting on the motion, a
call of the House was ordered. When
the roll call had been concluded it
disclosed ' he pretence of 152 mem
bers. !
- Mr. Pajsor, of Illinois, who bad
objected to several leaves of absence,
offered a resolution; revoking all leaves
of absence except those granted on
account of illness, this revocation to
take 'effect on Monday next. The
'resolution also provides that after
Monday and until further notice no
pairs; shall be filed; or recognized.
1 Subsequently Mr. Payson withdrew
that portion of his resolution which
.refered to pairs, j
Mr. Dunn, of Arkansas, offered an
amendment to Mr. Payson's resolu
tion directing the Sergeant at Arms
to inform absentees by telegram of
the action of the House.
Mr. Dunq's amendment was agreed
to, and as amended, Mr. Payson's
motion was; adopted.

IaHACio, Col., Aug. 25. A third
council was held here yesterday be

and the Indians. ! The Indians re
ceived an over-duo eratuitv of monev
ana it was expected this would put

them in good humor and facilitate
the business iij hand. Speeches were
made on both sides,, but the chiefs
were; obstinate and would not con
sent '. to removal. ! The Indians are
under the impression that all the land
west of them owned either by
Northern Utes, Tiutos or Mormons.
The commission, i however, assured
them that such was not the case and
asked them to consider the matter,
but it is thought i hero the Indians
will not consent. 1 Another council
will be held. j'

goods in the year 1887, the list year
for Which we have any returns, were
in value : $450,325,322. The tariff
duties collected were $212,032,424.
There were, therefore,; in that single

$5,369,579,191. That is, in otner
words, to $5,369,000,000, and as the
price of those goods was raised by tne
tariff in nearlv eaual orODOrtions to tne
price of the goods that were imported
into the country, the amount which
the Deoble paid in these high prices
of what thev had to buy and had to

hj Tslsgraiib to the New and Obsefrer.
Chioaq., 111., August 25 Judge
Thuiman and his party on Friday
traveled in the priva'e ctr of General
Manager Sp.oer, of the Grand Trunk,
and it was understood that they were
the." guests of the road. However,
before reaching South Bend the su
perintendent of the roa.1 managed to
?jet orders to the conductor to collect
are from the entire party. ;It was a
disagreeable task for him, but he
obeyed orders, and every member of
the party, including Judge Thurman
himself, paid for his patsage in solid
cash.
The parade of today begin to form
some ttme before noon, although 12
o'clock was the time set and -soon af
ter that hour marched through the
streets to escort the Judge aud party
to the train on which they were taken
to Chtirfenbatn beach. Prominent in
the parade were organizations oftiat
uralized citizens with mottoes such as
"We make loyal citizens," "No dyna
mite in ours," and other expressions
of their loyalty to their 'adopted
country. The traveling men; and
local political organizations, some
organizations from neighboring towns,
bands and carriages made op the rest
of the procession.
Judge Tnurman was greeted with
great . enthusiasm by an immense
crowd that filled the sidewalks along
the line of march at the beach. A
grand barbecuo had been prepared,
at which ten beeves and twenty sheep
were ', served, besides car loads of
other eatables and drink&blca. No
expense had been spared to make tho
day a grand success.
Federal Radicalism.
Col. Dockery is perhaps as reckless
and unreliable in his statemen's as
any man in North Carolina. For ex
ample, in his letter accepting the
Radical nomination for Governor be
asserted:
That the Republicans had reduced
"the public debt" one half at the close
of Arthur's administrution
That is not accurate. As he says.
the debt was $3,000,000,000 in 1865;
and in 1885, when Mr.,Cleveland came
in, tha outstanding debt of all sorts
was $1,900,000,000. The reduction
of "the bonded debt," however, was
one-half. But how has this great re
daction in the bonded debt been
brought about?
ihe bondholders had gotten their
bonds at 70 cents in gold on the dol
lar, and the Republicans undertook to
bring them up to par in gold at the
expense of the people. To do this
the bonds were boomed; heavy and
burdensome taxes were laid, and the
policy of rapid payment was inaugu
rated. The people suffered, but the
bonds rose in value and in 1870
reached par. That should have suf
ficed. The people then should have
been given some respite; respi'e was
given, but not to the masses. As soon
as the bonds reached par the income
tax was taken off of the rich, but the
taxes paid by common folks were con
tinued. To favor the bondholders still fur
ther, silver money was outlawed, and
the bonds as they came due were re
newed, and made payable in gold
coin. The bond? at first were paya
ble in currency or; in coin (silyer Or
gold); the new bonis, substituted for
the old ones, were made payable "m
go'd." More than that, all bonds
originally were subject to "call."
That is, the government had a right
to call in any bond at any time and
pay it off at its face value; but the
Republicans, in renewing one billion
of them in 1877, made $250,000,000
payable in 1891,: and $750,000,000
in 1907, depriving im government of
the right to call them in and pay
them off at their face value at any
time. The whole policy was in tho
interest of the : bondholders who
were given every advantage over the
people. The result is that those
bonds payable in 1907 are todty sell
ing for $1,270 on the $ 1,000, and
when the government buys one of
them it has to pay that.
We repeat that at first heavv tax as
were laid that the bonds might be
paid off rapidly so as to bring them
ud to par value: and the bonds were
so paid with the money raised by taxes
out of the Treasury. The Republi
cans would not reduce the revenues
and the surplus money had to be
used in that way to keep it from
piling up mountain high in the
Treasury. In late years the bonds
subject to call were being rapidly ex
hausted. It was evident that they
would soon bo all taken up aud that
if taxes were not reduced the time
would soon come when bonds could
no longer be paid, but would have to
be bought. The Democrats favored
reducing taxes to prevent tha'; the
Republicans said no, buy bond, even
at a premium.
When Mr. Cleveland came in only
$200,000,000 of bonds remained to
be paid. B; July, 1887, ho had paid
all but $19,000,000 of them. After
that he still had to purchase bonds
to get the uioney out of the treasury,
but he did it with great reluctanoe
and with wise discretion. The bond
holders aBked $1,270 for a bond due
in 1907, of the face value of $1,000.
The taxes come piling in. Mr. Cleve

of date for these two, appointments
as appeared in tue Signal cf August

Mr. F. M. Sorrell, of this city,
brought a Uimorandum of the change
as waa uxxla in the Signal and sta.ed
that tb'j came was .authorized by Mc

the change and had consented
thereto. On this authority the
change was made in the Signal.
When 3 our first statement appeared
that the change was unauthorized, I
expected Mr. Purncll to make the
statement as herein made and upon
which I acted. I noticed that he
passed tho matter in silence, and be

sickness could not state the facts un

Of course I could not have had any
motive in announcing that a change
had been tuadj in the appointments
if I had net boon informed that such

Some recent observations lead us to
conclnd9 that the crops of corn, cot
ton, tobacco, &c., will far exceed what
they promised Borne weeks ago. It
is, nowever, clear that in most sec
tions of our State the average will
fall below the crops of 1887, and that
importation of bread-stuffs, meat and
forage may be necessary. In think
ing of this subject we are reminded
of the advice given by the News and
Obsebveb ana other ; State papers
during tne fall 01 1881, when it was
seen that our supplies of every kind
were cut short by the severe drought
of that summer. The situation was
really appalling so great was the
indebtedness upon our fanners and
so little was there to meet it with and
subsist upon. The advice given was
to sow largely of small grain wheat,
oats, rye, &o., and rvse turnips. Pru
dent men evervwhere caucrht the idea.
Questions pertaining to these various
crops were freely discussed. As a
result a large crop of these various
products was seeded down, and 1882
witnessed the most bountiful crop of
wheat, oats and rye that has been
produced in oar State for years. I
have often thought .of the interest
awakened by the press of the State
within a few weeks' time upon this
subject and its grand results. Our
people went at once to making prepa
rations- xneir smau grain was seed
a. mt . 1 4
ed down in September and October
verily believe the agitation of this
subject then was worth one hundred
thousand dollars1 to our State. Would
it not bo wise to remind them again
of the present time and occasion t
With thorough preparation turnips
may be sown as late as September
lutn. ityo sown early fur
nishes excellent pasturage, for sheep,
caivcs and cons, in tne fall and early
spring. Besides h may be grown
successfully upon old worn-down
ands which are of little value for
other crops. After being thus grazed,
at time of -harvest, it furnishes fine
pasturage for hogs. Much of the
western bacon used by us is raised
argely upon rye. The wheat and
oat crop of our State usually sustain
great loss by reason of late sowing,
brought about mainly by the interfer
ence of the cotton crop. Corn and
stubble lands may be sown in due
time. Our country, our soil, our cli
mate are amply sufficient for our sup
port, if we avail ourselves of the 1 ad
vantages and opportunities offered.
If we neglect these the fault is ours

It is hard to visit Henderson With
out catching something of its $pirit
and hope. There were breaks at
the warehouses yesterday audi new
tobacco was offered for sale. fThey
call it new dip, a name that baa ja fa
miliar sound and au as:ociafion j with
war times. i
The question provoking tho warmth
of he tobacco world of Henderson
now and it is more than a hemis
phere of the town is whether or not
the warehousemerf ehall be allowed to
bid bn tobacco sold on their! own
floors. ; There is much disputation, a
bare majority of tfie buyers fo the
negative and the warehousemen,
backed up by the farmers and the
balance of the buyers affirming it.

be a fair cotton crop, and if prices are
good the condition of thefarmets will
be tolerable.
