The resolution heretofore offered b
Mr. Stewart calling for copies of Uj
reports, affidavits and communicatiom
on which the commissioner of the
General Land offiae based his lett.
to Mr. Burnes on the subject of t u.
ber was taken up and discussed. I.
discussion was interrupted in crJei
to act upon a proposition for anolh
conference on the army appropriatkii

Mr. Allison called attention to the
fact that j while the House only
insisted on its disagreement to
four amendments, all the other
amendments were "in the air," the
House hafing disagreed to the con
ferdeco report. The presiding officer
gave it act his opinion that all the
amendments were still open to con
ference, aa well the four enumerated
as the other 34. A conference was
agreed to, and Senators Allison,Plumb
and Gorman- were appointed con
ferees. Mr. Allison presented a con
ference report on the sundry civil bill
and gave notice that he would call it
up tomorrow. ;
The discussion "of Mr. Stewart's
resolution was then resumed.
Mr. Edmunds moved to amend by
adding the words 'except such as
ought to be withheld for the purposes
of justice." The amendment was
agreed to and the resolution ' was
adopted. :
' The Senate then proceeded to con
sideration of the report of the judi

election, and Mr. j Wilson, of Iowa,
continued the remarks begun by him
ast Thursday.
.3 r. Walthall complained of trie pe
riodical arraignment of the Southern
people for alleged j oflencos that are
dearly outside of the sphere of Fed
eral legislation. The attacks, he said,
were unaccompanied by any plan of
remedy or redress.;
They had borne no fruit, but crimi
nations and recriminations, and had
had no effect but to delay the era of
good will among the re-united people,
which, happily, had come in spite of
them. Such attacks might always be
expected when there was any impor
tant political campaign pending or
approaching. Their , purpose always

Was done under the resolution offered
fry Mr. Hoar to print 150,000 copies
of it , for distribution, so that the
whole movement had been merely a
pretext.and a sham. Reviewing the
difficulties of the task imposed upon
the people of the South in regard to
two races living on the same political
plane, he quoted speeches of Lincoln
and Republican Senators recognizing
those difficulties and declared that if
one race were to rule at the South it
must certainly ' be the white
race. He believed that the
whites and blacks 'might live together
with the i rights of both races re
spected but subject at intervals to the
jars which always arose in such cases.
The scenes of violence which had
taken place in the; Pacific States and
territories in opposition to the Chinese
had never found any parallel at the
South. The substantial advancement
made by the negroes in the South
showed now the Southen people had
met the race uisue. As a rule the
colored people, when hit free froui
external influences, i had done well.

antagonism might possibly disappear.

Bakessvillk, N. C , Aug. 19, 18S8.
Deab Sib: I drove in here yester
day evening between four and five
o'clock, and the Democrats were
hoisting the American flag with a
banner attached, bearing the inscrip
tion, "Grover Cleveland for Presi
dent4, land "Fowle for Governor."
While they were at work the Repub
licans were muttering among them
eeivej like distant tnuader belore ! a
storm, but did not try to prevent the
hoisting of the fug. I met with Mr
J. E, Burleson, about this time and
had just finished selling him the en
closed i order, when the Republican
crowd f was increased by a party
of a ;few men on horseback,
who,: when they saw Cleveland's name
alongside the stars and stripes, be
came madly enraged, and swore they
would cut that nag down or die in
their i tracks, and then commenced
such a scene of riot, blasphemy and
confusion as beggars description.
ooms ;were hunting axes, and one
man' more enthusiastic (or more
druhk)! than the rest attempted to
climb; jthe flag pole, but could not
quite make it. : In the meantime the
Democrats who had hoisted the nag
were perfectly cool and quiet, and
each one' woro a determined look that
boded ill to the one that struck the
first' blow with an axe, but the lie
publicans did not find an axe. About
bis 'time I heard a pistol shot, and
then . I moved myself to the hotel and
watched toe fray from a safe dls
tance.
The republicans, through fear or
some other cause, did not take down
the nag, but shortly after nightfall
they riddled the "Stars and Stripes,"
the "Great American Flag," with
pistol bullets. There must have been
at least 100 shots firedi but fortu
nately no one was hurt. In their mad
rage they were more uncontrollable
than beasts, but in lUBtioe to some of
the parties I must say that a few sober
iter u paeans tried to stop the occur
rence, but failed.
I . understand this morning that
they say they will certainly take the
flag- down tomorrow, and and if they
do there will be one funeral if not
more in this mountain town, for there
are some resolute Democrats who will
not see1 it done.
It I do not sell anything here to
morrow I will think it is because of
the excitement, and I may leave the
town a little more hurriedly than
would Ordinarily. X.
1jateb: amce the above was re
ceiyed we learn that a night or" two
after the Republicans did cut down
the polo and tear up and otherwise
insult the fl?. The feeling there la
exceedingly bitter j and serious trou
ble i anticipated. I We are informe
that the Republicans go so far as to
declare that Democrats shall not vote
in Mitchell. When they attempt this
they will have a lively tune sure
enough. We alsb learn that Mr.
R orison, a Republican, but a gentle
man, has publicly proclaimed since
this occurrence that be is done with
Southern Republicanism. Such con
duet as this will make all decent white
men in that county vote down such
party. . j

wood, Rockwell, Morrow and Hitt.
As no quorum appeared nrt effort was
made to transact any business and
proceedings were confined to an in
formal discussion which was mainly
interesting from the fact that it re
vealed a strong disposition on the
part of the three Democratic and the
three Republican members present to
divide on part; lines. The discussion
related to Article 29 of the Treaty of
Washington with the legislation that
has been enacted touching the entry
goods in bond at United States
porta for Canadian consumption.

is probable that several days will be
consumed in preliminary discussion
before the point of action is reached.

New Berne's Quarantine
New Berne Journal.
We have been repeatedly asked
why the Journal did not strike back
at the Goldsboro Argus for its re
peated flings towards the city
council of New Berne on account of
the strict quarantine regulations
adopted by them ; to prevent the in
troduction of. yellow fever in our
midat.
From the Wilmington Star pf Tues
day we' take the following which
bears directly on the case ;
The Augusta Chronicle says that in
1879 a family came to that town from
bemandina and "ere attacked v:o
lently with fever six weeks after ar
rival in the city. Opening the trunks
is supposed to - have done the work.
A central railway employee who had
not been to Savannah Caught fever
rom the effects of sleeping in a car
and died in 1876." Railroad mana
gers should take due notice and gov
ern themselves accordingly. Dr. H
. (Jampbeii has correc views oi a
striot quarantine. It is the total ex
elusion of all cart and baggage. He
says: ' (
"JN aver let a single ear come to a
healthy town that is freighted or
takes passengers In an infected port
let them be met at least twenty
miles from the oity by fresh cars for
both the passengers and the freight.
Jbet the authorities of Wilmington
take due notice and have "a strict
quarantine" in the true, scientific
sense.
This is exactly the position taken
by our city physicians whom the city
council regard as immeasurably su
perior in scientific knowledge and pro
ficiency in their profession to those
who would ridicule them and trifle
with a serious matter. So instead of
striking back" at the Argus we will
simply restate the facts and endeavor
to give them fuller than heretofore
in order that people elsewhere in the
utato who probably do not nnder
stand the facte of the case as known
by our aity council and physicians
may not think, the
and more stringent
measures hasty
than were de.
manded.
Without entering
into any discus-
sion as to the germ
theory of yellow
fever, the requisites necessary for its
propagation, us manner oi oeing con
i i
veyed from person to person and
dace to nlace. wa will simolv state
that New Berne s geographical posi
tion and climate make her peculiarly
. . - . - - -
liable, should the germs ; of yellow
fever be introduced, to an epidemic.
This terrible scourge that visited our
city in 1864 is well to be remembered,
when the mortality was 1,300, with an
average of 20 deaths a day and on the
5th and 6th days of October reaching
as high as 60 per day. It is a disease
that we may well dread, and one that
we have no right to meet with gloved
hands. While we felt that we should
use every effort to keep it from our
midst, we realized at the same time
that other interests had to be
considered, and, if possible, adopt
such measures as would insure
safety to our community and at the
same time not interfere with through
travel or traffic. Vfijtb this, object in
view,! quarantine measures were in'
sMtuted. An inspection of the train
was insisted upon atl Goldsboro, also
at New Berne and) these measures
were satisfactory to oar city council,
until it was learned that there was an
unmistakable case of yellow fever
within one mile of: Goldsboro and
bad been in that city. Even thou no
alarm or uneasiness; was fult, being
assured that the case was rigidly
quarantined, until it was learned on
me authority of one of the physioians
who had visited the ease that there
were five others in tb? family in con
r tan t association with the patient,
that neighbors had jbeen allowed to
visit him, and that the case had bsen
carelessly managed. (
Doctors provet bially disagree.' Here
it was the opinion oi tore, a unani
mous vote, that the pasd was yellow
fever. Believing that such was the
case and that in all human probability
other cases would in the course of a
few days present I themselves, and
realizing that the average incubative
stage of the disease ten days, and
during that time can be Conveyed
from one person to another: that the
train hands on the A. & N. C. R. R
were in Goldsboro i every day from
11:30 a. m. to 5 p. m- and elaep in
New Berne every night, the city
council, acting nnder the advice of
physicians, determined.to adopt rigid
quarantine measures against the city
of Goldsboro during this incubative
stage. It was utterly impossible for
them to tell what would be the condi
tion of affairs in a week's time, and
had such measures not been enforced,
and the disease, spread, M we had
every reason to tear it would, from
our intimate relationship with Golds
boro, an epidemic would, in all prob
ability, have appeared .here simulta
neously, with all things favoring.
furthermore at the time the rigid
quarantine measures were passed there
was a general exodus of people from
Florida. Four or five hundred people
from this community were scattered
all over that state. It was impossi
ble for the port physician, be he ever
so careful, to prevent people from
coming into our city, should they be
willing to make false atatements, and
under such oiraumstanoes they are,
feeling that every man's door is shut
egainst them. . .
Some discretionary powers should
have been left with the port physi
cian with regard to through travel
and freights. The measures were
enforced not with the idea of neces
sarily keeping them operative for
twenty five days, but simply long
enough to give as an opportunity to
guard against the incubative stage of
the disease, to watch the develop
ment of things, and be able, for our
selves, to come to some definite con
clusions.
Nine days after the landing of the
patient in Goldsboro and five after
the passage of the resolutions, they
were modified, not because they were
considered too stringent in the first
instance, but because the status of
affairs was such, no case having in the
meantime appeared there, we felt
that we could do so, without jeopar
dizing the lives of our people.
it is unnecessary to state that the
people oi new uerne nave acted in
this matter with no idea of doinsr
uoidsboro an injury, but solely for
her own protection. She has adopted
only sucn measures as she deemed
absolutely necessary, and which have
met with the almost unanimous ap

Kst day ever known in Union county I
ve thousand people were here to
hear the discussion between Fowle and
Dockery. Judge Fowle reached here
pn the 12 41 train from Charlotte.
He was carried to his hotel in an ele
gant phaeton, drawn by tw magnifi
cent bays,decked with silver-mounted
harness and flowinc bandannas, and
was followed by 300 mounted men.
Driving through the principal streets,
he stopped in front of this hotel. The
street in,frjnt was completely blocked
witfi surging humanity, i At this time
a telegram was circulate J for the sup
posed purpose si getting Judge Fowle
to make hia speech before Dockery
arrived. A telSram from Wadesboro
says Dockery on the train. The
people are tfld with ! enthusiasm.
Dockery arrived on; the 241
tram and is driven to the
hotel in a carriaare drawn
by a bay and a clay-bank, no
one attending htm except his brother
and some friends from Rockingham.

will not be able to do justice to his
cause. He knew he differed with the
largest majority present, but that
this was necessary. He said it was
no time for white hats and band an
nas. When he said this it looked
like all the hats and bandannas in
North Carolina : went up in the air,
Cdl. Dockery said : What is the cause
pf the hard times! The audience
completely drowned him with the cry
nigh tana." uol Dockery says he
is an old Henry Clay Whig, and that
he drew it from his mother's - breast.
He favors a high tariff because this is
indirect and not direct taxation.
Col. Dockery says the only thing nec
essary to reduce taxation is to abolish
the revenue. He says the Democrats
have done nothing to redeem their
pledges except to pass the Mills bill.
One hundred men in the audience ask
him why his party oppose' it. Col.
Dockery complains that the Demo
cratic platform has not ihe word rev
enue in it. He claims to have voted
for the measures that ! bettered the
colored man's condition, but that any
man who Baid he wanted white chil
dren -and black children to go to the
same school was an infamous liar.
Here he becomes nervous - and asks
now much time he has; He is evi

carry on the expenses of thu govern
