CLINTON A. CILLEY, Attornov-At-La7, Practice in Ail The Courts. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, July 2. To the Editor of Tlie Lenoir Topic: During the week the wily Senator from Vermont has shown more than a usual tendency towards new de partures. - There have been occa sional Edmunds sensations at the Capitol ever since the Senator's am bition turned squarely towards the White House, but three freaks in the same week are something extra ordinary. '. . In the first place Mr. Edmunds created a real sensation by appear ing in the galleries of the Senate Chamber as the escort of a bridal couple from his state. He was never seen with a plain, quiet constituent before, and it was re garded as positive proof that his fen ces are rickety this time, and that his Senatorial contest is real. Very few Senators dare to. ignore the claims made upon them by .their constituents as Edmunds has done, but he has never had any real oppo sition to his re-election until now. He sat by this honeymoon couple for quite a while, pointed out to them the various Senators, and even graciously explained to them some of the features of the debate, while the Senators on the floor exchanged significant glances over his alleled devotion. unpar- 1 Mr. Edmunds' next new departure was the new attitude he assumed on the "subject of the Senate's juris diction over the President's nom inations to office, andj his suspen sion's arid removals from office. He introduced a bill in the Senate which proposes to give the President abso lute power to make all the appoint ments to office which now he can make ouly by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. Accor ding to this bill the Senate is to have nothing whatever to do in the future with either appointments or removals. There will be no more need for executive sessions, either secret or epen. The Senator created a third sen sation by objecting to a second reading of the joint o resolution,, which had previously passed the House, to provide for the expendi tures of the Goverment for the next ten days following the last day of June, end of the fiscal year. This caused an unusual outlook for the first day of the fiscal year, and the Executive Departments opened in consequence on the first day of July without funds for the payment of any of their employes. ''This is an unprecedented emer gency, so far as I know," saidU. S. Treasurer Jordan. No new; bus iness of any kind can be done, no disbursements can be made, and un less action can be taken before tho end of July, no Goverment official, not even the President, can get his month's salary. Senator Edmunds' purpose was to emphasise and 'call public attention to the repeated fail ures of appropriation bills to reach the Senate in time for the deliber ation and seasonable action before the end of the fiscal year, a purpose which is - approved by both the Democrats and Republicans of the Senate. Under the law which forbids any Department to expend money in any fiscal year in excess of appro priations, or to involve the Govern ment in any contract for the future payment of money in excess of ap propriations, it is questionable whether the heads of Departments have the right to accept the services of their employes with an under standing that they are to be com pensated when Congress makes the appropriation. The question never came up before, but it is probable the Senate will at once pass the emergency resolution passed by the House and all will be right again. , The vetoing of pension bills has met with almost unanimous approv al from the Democrats in Congress, the onlv criticisms coming from the Republicans. The President has been attacked by Republicans m both houses of Congress during the week for what they call violations of his civil service pretensions. Sena tor Hoar made quite a vituperative speech and Ingalls, of Kansas, at tempted, as usual, high flown sar- CaThis led Senator Cockrell, of Mo., to reply that the taunts fell harm less. - The Administration needed no defender in the Senate. The people of the United States would live to bend their knees in thank fulness that Grover Cleveland had become President. He was an hon est, brave, true man and he was dor Wall that any one mortal being could do to give the people an hon est, fearless, economical and Con stitutional Administration. Irate Senator Hoar declared that Presi dent Cleveland had not attempted to keep the pledges which preceded and followed his election. He thought his promotion of party and partisan interests had been equal to that of VanBuren and Pierce. People going on excursion are so x . rhof f.hAT lure AC happ ry to get iiuiuo -j 1 clad tney went. The President may be relied on to stop all such jobs that he can get his mind on, but the place where they should be stopped is at the doors of the Capitol. . Tba late John F.Ferguson. To the Editor of Tie Lenoir Topic: Another one of our aged citizens has dropped out; JohnF. Ferguson, long known as "Brick house Jack." He was born near the place of his life-long home, in Wilkes county, near the mouth of Beaver Creek, on the 6th of May, 1779,! and died at his residence on the 1st day of July, 1885. He was married to Elander Triplett on the 4th of March, 1830, and they became the parents of 9 children, 6 sons and 3 daughters! Two sons died when young, and two died soldiers in the late war, T. L. Ferguson, Capt. of Cb. C, 2th N. C. T., and John F. Ferguson. Jr., of the 18th Regiment. Capt. J. T. Ferguson, now of Wilkesboro, and Capt.' L. C. Ferguson, of Yellow Hill, N. C, and the 2 daughters, Mrs. Spicer, Mrs. Bradley and Mrs. Howell are all well known to the community. ! lie was one of this generation's best men. He began life with -small mean;?, and he and his devoted help meet, with the help of their chil dren as they grew up succeeded by dint of close work anot honest econ omy so that closing up his estae, being his own administrator, he was able to give all his living children $3,000 each. Once in his life, being security to Sheriff Dyer, who failed, he wai compelled to pay on his bond a large sum, and for a while the clouds of adversity hung heavily over this dear family, but they paid out and kept the colors of honesty afloat. At the close of the war they again suffered heavily, being robbed of stock and other valuables plundered. Such was his life and conduct through all this long experience that it has been a common remark, "Un cle Jack has no enemies." He never sought or held office, but gave his attention to farm and home life, and thousands have shared his generous hospitalities, who still re member it with gratitude. He was a noble specimen of manhood phy sically; meniaHy, he jwas above the average. His judgment was delib erate and far-reaching, and his man ners at home and abroad, were .kind and obliging . This noble man professed"faith in Christ at about the age of 20, and remarked but a short time before his death, that he had been trying to live a christian life for nearly 70 years. For many years he was a member of the baptist church, but some ten years since he withdrew and connected himself with the Second Advent church, at Beaver Creek, heartily endorsing the doc trine of immortality! through Christ alone. In his last hours, while suf fering was heavy upon him he fre quently said he wanted to fall asleep till the resurrection. He was so liberal with his means in support of the gospel, that many years ago he was nicknamed the "Commissary' Sometimes at the larger .religious convocations he would entertain a hundred people or, more with their horses. It was often remarked of him when asked for contributions for religious purposes that "Uncle Jack cares less for five dollars than any man in the land." The days of his mortal probation have ended and he sleeps in the embrace of death till the key-holder, (Rev. 1:18,1 shall come, when, ac cording to his faith, he will rise im mortal, to die no more, Luke 20.3G. He was buried July 2nd in the presence of a large congregation, who, notwithstanding the high wa ters, had gathered to blend their sympathies with this beloved family and hear the burial discourse, in which the writer was assisted by Elder Joel Brown.

R. L. Abernethy Pres't. The thing for revenue reformers to keep in mind is the fact that there are about ten more men want ed in Congress to secure tariff revi sion and tax reduction. The Dem ocrats have the matter all in their own hands. , In Memoriam. To the Editor of the Lenoir Topic : Mrs. L. C. Isbell departed this life May 20th? 1886, at the residence of her son, James Isbell Esq., in Caldwell County, N. C. She was born December 19th 1810, and was the daughter of the late Eh Petty, deceased, of jWilkes comity. She was married to the late Thomas Is bell deceased,! of Caldwell countv, August 19th 1829. If is natural and proper at times, to bear testimony to worth of char acter and payl tribute to the memory of a sincere christian, but when in the ortierings 'of Providence we re alize in its full sense the beauty and excellence of a consistent life crown ed with old age hid "with Christ in God," we do well to praise and lis ten to its teachings. The deceased made a profession of faith in Chirist and joined the Baptist church early in life, of which she remained a consistent member during all the remainder of her life. Her faith was always firm ; realizing thatjshe was in the care of a dear SaviorJ no trouble, no suffe ing could shajce her. exalted trusts The nearer the cloud of death ap proached and the further earthly things fell away from her, the brigh ter her hopes iof a glorious future became. By nature gentle and refined, she enjoyed the respect and confidence of a large circle of friends and ac quaintances, j She was true to all, and her home life showed the sin cerity of her1 christian character. Since it is the work of life to learn how to die, so from the death of ev ery true christian we, who are left i behind, receive .a lesson how to.live. To those who! knew her : well, the death of our departed friend has been such a lesson. Many years ago she was called to part with him who had been so long the partner of her joy una sorrow, this great trial she bore with great submission to God's will. She retained her powers men tally and physically in a remarkable degree, and was confined before her. death but a few days. When the supreme moment came however, ! with loving words to all about her, in full faith, 'as if inspired by a vis ion of the bright beyond, she passed sweetly to everlasting life and to the eternal rest which remaineth for the people of God. "Oh glorious end of life's long day of sadness, Oh blessed course, so well and no bly run, Oh home of true and everlasting gladness, Oh crown unfading and so richlv won." i Deceased was the mother of seven children, three sons and four daugh ters, four of vhom passed ber in life's race, and had already gone un der the vale of death before their mother. She leaves three children, eighteen g. arid children and one great grand child to mourn their loss. . To them all and to her many friends we extend sympathies, and hope we may so live that we may meet her in tho glory land where sorrow never comes. and parting is u-n known. Weep not then dear friends, your mother is uot lost, but gone before. ! Remember the words of one of God's servants, in which he says, "To! die is gain." ! Sister Isbell was noted through, all her life for her hospitality. No true servant of Christ ever failed to find a hearty welcome at her pleas ant home, and no true object of charity iwas ever turned from her door without food. She is gone but her works do follow. W. A. Pool. How General Lea Courted Death. From ft Washington Letter. Mr. Reagan gives me a new fact in General Lee's history which is not generally known in the North." He said that toward the close of the downfall of the Confederate Gov ernment there was a very general impression among the high officials of the Confederacy that General Lee intended to lose his life on the field of battle. jThe impression was shared by the officers of Lee's army. General Lee never lost an opportu nity of placing himself in a position of danger, j General Reagan says that he drove out from Richmond to see Lee upon the day the principal battle of , Cold Harbor was fought. As he came up near where he could see Lee's headquarters he saw the shells bursting continually around his tent and ploughing up i the ground in front of him. Some of the officers asked Mr. Reagan to try and persuade General Lee to move his headquarters behind a piece of timber near by. All felt that he was exposing nis life too much. Mr. Reagan said to General Lee : "I do not presumed advise any general in the midst! of a battle, but are you not ' exposing yourself too much ? Ought you not "to go back nearer your reserve ?" General Lee said he had no reserve. He had only one line of men. He did not dare to shorten his line for fear it would be turned, and did not dare to thin it for fear it would be broken. Gener al Lee evidently sought death many times during the closing days of the war. That i was the view of the Southern leaders then and is , still believed by many. Beecber in Europe. Elizabeth City Economist. . , Henry Ward Beecher, of Plym outh Church, ha3 been a phen ominal sensation for thirty years and has been through moral cyclones that would have blown any other man's character to atoms,- and yet to-day he is moie observed of men, aqd observed by many with admir ation, than any other man not in elevated official position. He isl" striking illustration of the great mastery of mind and the homage to genius. He is an intellectual giant, with more absolute originality of thought and ' great mental power than any other man in America. A great thinker, one who grapples the most profound subjects in every de partmenf of human investigation and throws upon them a flood of in tellectual light that startles by its originality. Such a man necessari ly becomes a leader among men when he adds to his rare gifts the courage of conviction that shrinks from no responsibility. . All these character istics Mr, Beecher has in a most eminent degree and they make up the man. And now he goes toEurope, nom inally, for rest and recreation, but really to gratify h:s insatiate ambi tion of popular admiration, which craves another sensational chaplet of fame by appearing upon the hus tings in England to stand by "the grand old man" and to defendHome Rule before the English peonle. . It will indeed be a new field for lieecher a broader field than he has ever ap peared in, and in which the world of two continents will be his inter ested audience, afield of observation before which Plymouth Church sinks into insignificance. He will appear before the great English speaking race in a matter on which every man is wroght up to the high est pitch of intense excitement and Henry Ward Beecher will be the central figure of the gladiatorial dra ma.. Surelyif he acquit himself with customary ability it will be a fitting climax to his great fame. His presentiment, or his pretend ed presentiment is that he will '.nev ermore appear in the pulpit of Ply mouth Church. He is now an old man, considerably beyond the scrip tural limit of three score and ten years, and at that period, "The spider's mostattenuated thread is cord, is cable, ' To man's tender tie on earthly bliss."

It is raining now and rains more or less nearly every day. Harvest is here and farmers are doing the best they can between showers. Small grain is blown down considerably and must be saved with the reap-hook. Wheat is generally very good. ! We have had two exhibition in Bakersville within a few weeks. Profs.Bettisand Stafford closed June 4. As I was at Globe commencement I cannot give any of the proceedings. I hear it was decidedly a success. They will open fall term August 1. The court house was beautifully decorated again June 18. We built a stage and in front of the Judge's stand was a? mound covered with moss and beautifully decorated with flowers, for the exhibition of Prof. Freeland's school. Our quarterly ex? amination commenced i riday before the exhibition and lasted 4 days. On Thursday we decorated the court house, so we only lost one day of study for the exhibition which was pronounced the most successful ever known in ' Bakersville. Friday morning was devoted to the saluta tory compositions and declamations, opened and closed with! instrument al and vocal music by the school. . The evening services were the same as morning.. All the e'xercises were interspersed by music from .he string band ; including the flutist, Mr. Bright, of Tenn. Prof. E. L. Patton was requested by the princi pal to deliver an educational address but he declined. 1 . The largest audience ever assem bled in the court house was Friday night, which was interestingly en tertained by a concert and valedic tory, interspersed with music by the band. The exhibition closed by the sc hool singing the song "Good-bye." Prof. Freeland will also open school the first Monday in August. And by the way, Jnne 24 was St. "John's dayand the court house and stage was again beautifully decorat ed for the Masonic celebration. After the Masonic jnarch they marched into the court house and wereseated on the rostrum in general order for initiation of officers. A Masonic address was expected to be delivered by Hon. Alfred A. Taylor, of Tenn, but he failed to come. We don't know the cause unless it 'was that he was nominated for Governor by the Republican party of Tenn. and forgot it. A very interesting address was delivered by Prof. Free land and a short talk by Mr. W. S. llyams. Mr. J. C. Bowman has been teach ing at Roan Mountain school house, but has stopped now, as the citizens of the community are becoming so much interested in education and stirred to a sense of their duty, as they know the rising generation must be educated, they will meet Saturday to make arrangements to build an Academy, dimensions 40x 64 feet and two stories. Mrs. J. M. Stafford, who has been afflicted so long, for the first time in nearly a year, has gained physical strength enough to walk 30 yards last Sunday morning to Sunday School but her physical strength would not permit her to stay during all the exercises. It is hoped by all she will soon recover and enjoy good? health again. 1 Rev. Mr. . Macomsom, the blind preacher of Biirke county, preached in the Baptist church last night and will preach again to-night. The evangelist, Rev. Mr. Wood son, of Va., who preached during court, returned last evening. I sup pose he will conduct a series of meetings at this place. The finger of Air.

Bob Pritchard, of Toe River, who is confined in jail, attempted to burn the jail. He tried to keep Mr. Quinn, the iiiilor, back by swearing he would kill the first man with a brick, that attempted to come in there! Mr. Quinn rushed in and extinguished tin fire, saved the jail ami various other houses and prob ably a great damage. There was an excursion from Johnson City, Tenn., to Shell Creek, Tenn., and from Cranberry to Shell Creek, last Sunday. The Methodist church at Shell Creek was dedicated. They told me over there in Tenn. that one man plowed all day last Sunday was a week in order that he might free his corn of the weeds. He said it rained all week and he would plow when he could. There are several persons seriously ill at Elk Park with flux. Miss Jenny Penland, Mr. Dick Rorison, Clayton Gibbs, and Geor gie Heap returned from Weaver ville College on the 18th of June. R. P. C. Transylvania, H. C. To the Editor of Tlie Lenoir Topic: To persons who have never visit ed Transylvania, Henderson and those counties lying in the "land of the skies," a correct pen-picture of their soil, waters and sublime moun tain scenery would appear as a Ore-, cian fable. From the junction of the Swaua noa and French Broad rivers for 50 or 60 miles up the French Broad, the rich bottom lands spreading out from hill to hill, cover a space from one half to three miles in width. These fertile lands, though seem ingly as level as a tuble, yet have a downward slope sufficient to carry off all the rain waters that fall upon them washing the soil. The fall of the French Broad is sufficient to carry its waters about four miles per hour ; hence it very seldom over flows its banks. ": Following the mail route from Asheville to Brevard, you pass nine , postoffices in a distance of thirty two miles, cross five or six creeks which would be called rivers on this side of the Ridge, and two or three large rapid - rivers. These creeks and rivers afford vast bottoms of the richest lands ; and, as they approach the French Broad, they expand in to vallevs that the eye can scarcely scan. These valleys are covered with corn, rye, oats and sometimes wheat, though wheat is less sown in this portion of the State than on the east side of the ridge. The land is wanting in potash, an element abundant in wheat. v There is no reason however, that these farmers . should not prepare their lands for wheat crops, as there is a lime vein running all along on the north side of French Broad from Asheville to the Balsam mountains. Eight or nine kilns can be seen from the road running from Asheville . to Brevard, The cones in these mountains are covered with a luxuriant growth of ferns as tall as a man's waist, some times reaching to his neck and head. The soil is black mould so soft that a horse will mire up to his pastern in tho woods. ' My friend and old pupil J. H. Mull raised a crop of fine tobacco in one of his coves, without a plow or horse in it. A man can go into these coves with an ox, kill the tress, and with a hoe he can raise finer corn than can be produced on the bottoms of Lower ; (JreeJc. i The water power of these moun- " tain counties is said by men of me chanical knowledge, to be sufficient to turn all the spindles of the State; , and from what has come under my ii ink wniJiiii. i imiinvn il. j. ljiuu sand mountain streams not named by any one, dash down these ravines in all directions. Streams sufficien- -tly strong to move the largest facto ries, pour: down precipices from ten to thirty, and even hundreds of feet. Nature has so arranged these waters fViot. rlnma ar utmost pnt.irplv iin-' necessary. The waters can be con veyed in trunks or troughs to a wheel at any distance below the falls. I saw One mill that stands on top of jL? the falls, fastened in the rock, while a shaft reaches the rock below the falls where its buckets are struck by the falling waters through a pipe. The mineral element in these mountains is rich, abundant and various. I examined a vein upon the land 8 of Joseph H.-Mull, Esq., silver, manganese, and corundum. The blossom of this vein runs across a large mountain. A shaft thirty feet deep finds no terminus to , the . ore. - All the country after you pass Asheville, up the French Broad, seems to be a new world. It appears to have been created at a later peri od than that on our side of tho Ridge. ' y But, Mr. Editor, as I have prom- isea to sena lew papers to ihe iop- --ic upon tha beauties and resources . of this county, I jinust close now lest you exclude me next time even if this article come to light. R. L. Abernethy. i ' k Tramp to Roan Mountain. Cloudland, July 2. To the Editor of Tlie Lenoir Topic: "Something over two weeks ago I left Lenoir to spend a month or so at Blowing Rock, and while there to take a tramp through the mount ains, partly for health, and partly for pleasure. Cloud land Hotel on the summi of Roan mountain was my objective point, and today after many a weary step, finds me here. While on my tramp I have visited quite a good many places of some interest to tho mountain tourist. Among somen other places I have been to Grandfather, Banner Elk, Cranberry, Johnson City, and Roan Mountain Station, which is situated at the base of the Roan, and from which yon take the hack for Cloud land, unless you are traveling in the manner in which I am, then you take the road. I left the station this morning at 8 o'clock, and came to the top of the mountain, a distance of twelve and a half miles in 4J hours. When I got here I found the ho tel, as its name imports, shrouded; in the clouds, and to my great sur prise, Mr. Editor, it rained nearly all evening.. The view of course was entirely 6hut out. But to uiy great joy at 5 o'clock in the evening the clouds burst and cleared away, and the sun came out from hi3 dismal abode and made tha rising fog and drifting clouds present an hundred hues. I will not attempt to describe the scene that lay before ine; pre senting every variety of mountain scenery, from the most delicato flower and threadlike streamlet, to the cloud that lies in golden folds along the horison of tlie setting sun and the lofty mountain summit that hides itself in the clouds. If I ero to attempt to describe it, I would say that it is eminently grand N Tne hotel is large, aud has a ca pacity to accommodate 500 guests. It is built entirely of native balsam except the window frame? and sash which were brought from Minneso ta. The top of the Roan is treeless and is set in grass which is from 4 to 6 inches high, affording paitur age for quite a lurge herd of horses and cattle. This pasture is 6 or" "8 miles long, and:: is. fenced by the timber line alone. The hotel" table is supplied with';" beef from these cattle, and it is the fattest and swect- est meat in the world. The ' hotel is connected with the hotel at Roan Mountain Station by telephone, and , you can converse with a friend 12 miles away. General Wilder, the; proprietor, is absent on a businoss trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee,' but his son-in-law, Mr. Stratton is act ing in his place. He is accommo dating, and pleasing in his manner, and immediately on arriving makes you feel quite at home.- " I will remain all night and in the morning I will reluctantly take my leave ; and I will say, in taking my departure, farewell, king of the Al leghanies, no mountain trip is com plete without embracing thee 1' - :.
