Dockery, Republicai candidate for the same)offioe, held i joint discus sion in Lenoir, last Wednesday, be fore quite a large crowd of the citi zens of Caldwell. They Jspoke from a, platform raised on the -piszza of Deal & Deal's store. Judge Fowle was; introduced by &fr. Edmund Jones and spoke for an hour, and was followed by Col. Dockery, who was introduced by Mr. D. M. Phett and who spoke for the same length of time; JuaVe Fowle had twenty' mini ate in which to reply and Obi. Dock ery baa a rejoinder of, tHe time length of time. I . ' Judge Fowle made what was, in our estimation an in teres liner and able speech in which he eloquently set forth the impregnable tposition of the Democracy in this: campaign. Mr. Dockery, in following Judge Fowle, had the advantage ; of.: making his speech rather a reply to Fowle than a positive statement $of S the Re publican position. He did his best with (he nerve and skill f an able and Unscrupulous demagogue! Strip-, ped of all the web of sophistry and adroit misstatement of fcte which he wove around his argument' it de generated into a simple begging the question. So far as State issues are concerned,' as Judge Fowle f clearly proved : and as Dockery iuneqairo cally acknowledged, there U only one county government. Wiiea they came to discuss that Dockirr called lor the calf -rope and begged io hear nothing more about "nigger, jnigger, nigger T But, said FowT4 w must judge you by the past.

Washington, Sept. 27-t-Sksate The Chair was occupied today by Mr. Manderson,; by designation of the presiding officer, Mr. Ingills. The House amendment to the Sen ate bill appropriating $10f),000 in aid of the yellow fever sufferers having been laid before the Senate, Mr. Ed munds said that he had. examined, it, and was very much afraid that it missed the point aimed at in the bill that was the capacity to', use any 61 i he money in aid of those' who were sick and in distress and in danger of starvation, as the newspapers re ported from day to day. There fore that something better be done he moved that the Senate non-concur in the House amendment and ask for a conference. So ordered f- Mr. Call oflered a resolution in structing the committee on epide&ic diseases to consider and report be fore the adjournment of this session of Congress such additional legisla tion as may be necessary and useful to prevent the importation of conta gious or infectious diseases' from for eign countries on the coast or boun dary of the United States and to pre vent and suppress it in inter-State oommerce; ancf for. the subsistence of such persons as may be detained byjthe publio authorities. In con nection with it he read a letter from Mayor Hewitt, of New York, enclos ing one received by Mr. Hewitt from Mr. Van Hooker, of Fla. Mr. Hewitt suggests to Mr. Call that ftbe latter should' introduce some resolution that would lead to action before Con gress on the subject of the letter, which interested every part of the United States and particularly the city cf New York. That itjwa sub scribing liberally for the relief of the Florida sufferers, but was rowerlees, except by local quarantine, to prevent the spread of the contagion. The remedy ought to be applied; in places where the fever existed an&tm a sys tem so comprehensive as to assure the country that every practicable effort is made to Btamp out .'the dis ease. It was ordered that when the Senate adjourn today it be till Mon day next. ! Mr. Hale moved to refer Mr. Call's resolution to the committee - on epi demic diseases and the matter went over till Monday. Mr. Sherman, from, the committee on foreign relations, reported back without any recommendation, the resolution offered by him loi an in quiry into the relations between the United States and Great Britain and the Dominion of Canada, and it was plaoed on the calendar. The conference report on the sua- or discussion. The resolution offered bv Mr. Chandler for an inquiry into ihe last Louisiana election (involving the choice of United States Senators) was 1.-1 m v-,1 at.- ? - i taaen up, jut. unancuer giving no woe 1 1 i i i i i i . v a . I qsi no aesixeu w nare its ccnaiaera tion proceeded with until a final vote, was reached. A heated political debate followed which occupied the remainder of the day's session, and, at times, went be yond the bounds of. Senatorial cour tesy, if Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana, opsnei the discussion by saying that he was under the impression that the Amer ican people were weary of such on-, constitutional and revolutionary modes to revise the relations between the people of the States and the Fed eral government. The small -attend ance of Republican Senators today w&d an indication that the Senate was also weary of them. Criticising the course of Mr. Chandler in reading before the Senate private letters and newspaper extracts assailing the peo pie of Louisiana, Mr. Gibson said he "would rather be a dog and bay the moon" than make himself a scavenger or medium by which the base im pulses and neighborhood feuds and difficulties of his oountrymen 'in any State could be brought into such an august place. He had in his desk numerous letters and newspaper ex- & a n - a - i, tt: - ii tracts alleging to tne open pupuo toe buying of votes in an election in Khode Island but be would seorn to bring them before the Senate. He presumed that the resolution, was a part of the political programme. If It could convey gratification to the heart of any Senator, or if any Sen ator felt that it would convey, gratt - ification to his constituents, or would aid the political party to which as belonged,' he; was welcome to it- Mr. Chandler replied to Mr. Gib son. That Senator had said that the conservative j people of the country were I weary of inquiries into the affairs of the Southern States. Ha (Chandler) did not so understand the temper of the American people. He believed that what they were wt ary of was the frattda,false countings, mur ders of legal voters that were goipg on in the South in order to make that section solid and enable it to govern the North and the country: The Sen ator from Louisiana had refrained (as all Democratic Senators who had discussed the general question at this session had refrained) from alluding to the facts of which oomplainis were made-They refused to enter into them, saying that there was no oonstitu tional authority to investigate them They dealt entirely in generalities I 1 3 J . m " n i . BO l.l ' The char8e WM that tn outrages and murders 01 colored people in Louis iana and - other Southern States were committed for politi cal reasons. They were not sporadic in their nature. Tfcey were part of a wit3spread, deliberate system of Klitica) action on the part of the emocratio party in order that the control of Congress and of the Presidency might be wrongfully and criminally transferred from the party to which an honest and fair and free election would give it to another party which could only obtain it by such frauds and violence as were now patent to the whole nation. He read letters and newspaper extracts referring to robbing negroes in the South and partly in Louisiana of weapons which it was, their un doubted right to have, and declared that the colored people of Louisiana, would keep their arms in spite of white leagues of Ku Klux ruffians and of all the gamblers, thieves and villains who had been organized in the interest of the Democratic party and especially in the interest of the Senator of Louisiana. Mr. Reagan took the floor and ar gued agaiust the resolution, declaring that be meant to oppose all proposi tions for an investigat on that simply meant political agitation in viola tion of the .Constitution and of th rights of the States and of the peo pie. Mr. Teller and Mr. Edmunds also participated in the discussion, which then drifted from outrages in Lou isiana to outrages in Texas, and in this discussion the prominent parts were taken by Messrs. Chandler, Blair, Spooner, Reagan and Coke. The most notable incident was thd fact of Mr. Coke being called to or der for unparliamentary language against Mr. Chandler. Mr. Coke's violation of the rules of order consisted in his denouncing the statement that the Republican party of Texas had failed to put a State ticket in the field because it was afraid of the personal consequences as absolutely and unequivocally false, without a particle of foundation, made for political effect, with dishonest and unfair purpose; and he added: "It is a statement not believe! by the Senator himself who makes it." Oh being called to order by Mr. Chandler, Mr. Coke promptly Baid: " r. Presi dent, if I have said anything deroga tory to the dignity of the Senate, I take it back and apologize for it." The President The Senator from Texas will proceed in order. Mr. Coke The Senator from New Hampshire (Mr. Chandler) seems to be anxious that somebody on this side of the chamber should kick him. I refuse to perform that operation. Mr. Coke was promptly called to order and was required to.take a seat, while the presiding officer ruled that his language was not warranted by parliamentary law. "Then," said Mr. Coke, "I withdraw the language and apologize for hav ing used such.'' At six o clock, while Mr. Spooner was speaking, an unparliamentary con test sprung up between himself and Mr. Coke, Mr. Butler interposed with a motion to adjourn and the Senate at 6 p. m. adjourned till Monday. HOUSE. Immediately after the reading of the journal, the House on motion of Mr. Barnes, of Missouri, adopted the conference report on the sundry civil appropriation bill. In the consideration of the morning hour Mr. Blount, of Georgia, called np the bill providing for a general superintendent of railway mail service at a salary of $4,000, assistant superin'endent at a salary of $3,000, chief clerk to be employed in Wash ing at a salary of $2,000, and as many chief clerks as may be necessary at a salary of $1,500 each. Mr. Blount congratulated the coun try upon the growth of the postal service and its increased efficiency. In 1879 the mails were carried over 76,000 miles of railroad and in 1887 they were carried over 107,000 milts In 1879 the number of pieces of mail matter handled by the postal clerks Was 2,659,000; in 1867 it increased to 5,851,000. The increase of salaries proposed by the bill would amount to $2,300,000 annually. The salary of the General Superintendent was in creased $500 on account of the d:fli culty encountered in securing a ca pable man at the present salary. The bill was opposed by Messrs. Sowden, of Pennsylvania, and Hop kins, of Illinois, and defended by Mr. Blount, but the discussion ended with the morning hour and without action the House adjourned at 1 30. I O.TIMITTED HCIC1DK.

The steamer City of Providence, which runs regularly between this city and Natchez, Miss-, arrived here yesterday afternoon with nearly 200 people, chiefly women and children, on board, who have fled from the lower river towns on account of the yellow fever scare. They come principally from Vicksburg, Greenville, Natchez and other points below Memphis. There was no sickness during the trip and none of the passengers are from any of the infected districts. It was known along the river, however, that the people were from the lower river towns and the boat was met at neirly all points by a shot gun quar antine, and. while the steamer was allowed to coal and take on and dis charge freight at a few points, none of the passengers were allowed to land until they reached Cape Girardeau, Mo., about 10 milesabove Cairo, where they were hospitably treated.

The organizers in politics are the great factors that control elections. They are not usually men that in fluence voters by popular speaking. They are the drill masters in political campaigns. They do not discard from their consideration the influence of popular speakers, but they regard speaking as secondary in importance to the less noisy but more potent in; fluence of marshaling political forces in divisions and sub-divisions, in studying individual cases and assign ing persons to special duties. Every man has his influence, is a very com mon remark, and the influence of most men is of a special kind. This individual influence is the main study of a skilful organizer. It is a great study. To arrange the machinery of an election, to organize political forces in an election requires as much talent and very muchjof the same kind as to manage a great body of troops in a bat tle, with this difference, that great military commanders frequently have to act upon unexpected emergencies while organizers in party contests act with more deliberation. It strikes cs that the great secret of success in par tyorganization is in judicious subdi visions down to its most minute par ticles. If this is carefully done, with proper officers as heads of small di visions, it seems to us that the result of an election can be known with with some degree of accuracy. To do this work effectually requires hard work, with diligence and patience and careful attention to details. We once listened to a description by an intelligent politician of New Orleans of the mode of conducting a political canvass in that city. He laid great stress upon these subdivisions. Each man was assigned to his separate "beat" and the beat in its final subdivi sion embraced 25 men. These were the workers. They studied each indi vidual case and what influence oould be brought to bear upon it. They made visitations to these divi sions increasing in frequency as he election approached. Etch head of a beat of twenty five made daily reports to his next in command, whose jurisdiction embraced several of these beat, and he in his turn made his report to his superior and thus through all the gradations of command. These subordinate beats of twenty (five were divided into classes, of opponents, friends, stal warts, doubtful, shifty and uncertain, and the classes and the members of the classes were reviewed daily. Now this is troublesome, but it is the great lever of party politics and just as the organization is thorough and perfect will the result be. This was the cause of Mr. Tilden's great suc cess as a politician. He was a great organizer and his influence was felt, in the most minute subdivision of political i forces. Elizabeth City Economist. The Banqaet to Chief; JasUoe rulfor. Bat U more Sua. In striking contrast with the petty partisanship which unsuccessfully sought to defeat the confirmation of the Hon. Melville W. Fuller as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, was the magnificent parting reception and banquet given him at the Palmer House, Chicago, Monday evening last. This evidence of good will was tendered by five hundred of the leading men of Chi cago, jurists, lawyers, doctors, mer chants and manufacturers, men who have been largely instrumental in building up Chicago to its present greatness in business, population and wealth. It was these men, irrespect ive of party creed or religious faith, who met to give the Chief Justice, who had resided amongst them for thirty-two years, their assurance of love and esteem on his departure for his hew home in Washington. The speeches were all warm in praise of the great legal ability and exalted personal character of Mr. Fuller, and were creditable to the gentlemen who delivered them.The reply of the Chief J ustice was in excellent taste and at many points deeply touching. He de clared that this assurance of the re gard of his professional brethren and his people wa inexpressibly grate ful, ''illuminating as it did the re membrance of the past and brighten ing the anticipations of the future." Being personally unambitious, ihe Chief Justice said he "had not thought himself selfish in indulginghia preference for the sweet habit of life rather than the struggle involved in seeking prominent positions," though he also knew that "the performance of duty is the true end of life." Con cluding his admirable address, Chief Justice said: "And now, gentlemen, wishing you and invoking for myself that blessing without which nothing can prosper, I trust, as you accompa ny me to the ship, we need not sor row as those that shall see each other's faces no more, but that we part in reasonable expectation that there will be many returns to the home port from the haven for which the bidding of publio duty compels me to embarkv" Died.

Stone, at the age of four years and eleven months. The bereaved parents have the full and heartfelt sympathy of the general publie. It would be difficult to find a more lovely or intelligent child than little Maggie, and her death is sadly mourned both by friends and neighr bors, as her childish prattle and inno cence, and her bewitching manners at tracted universal, attention. No pen can portray the grief of her parents. But the parents should re member that little Maggie is not lost to them, and prepare to meet her in that brighter and purer world above.
