; Hon. Thomas J. Jarvis has ar
rived in the United States from
Brazil, as he was registered at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York,
Thursday. That the Ex-Goveruor
will enter the lists as a candidate for
the Senatorship we think scarcely
admits of a doubt. As our readers
well know, there are other aspirants
for this honor besides Governor
.Tarvia and Senator Ransom. The
two others most prominent are Col.
Alfred M. Waddell, Cleveland elec
tor at large, and Capt. Sydenham
B. Alexander. Thre dark horses
have been named, but when it comes
to dark horses, they travel in droves.
The State is full of them. But the
three who have been named are Gen.
W. R. Cox and Justice A. S. Merri
mon, said by the Statesville Land
mark to be built after the manner
of Barkis, of a willin' frame of
mind, and Solicitor Frank Osborne,
who is being groomed by the Char
lotte Chronicle. Where Senator
Ransom has an opponent he is gen
erally a hot one ami his friends are
all equally as warm for him. The
latter contend that, having taken a
census of the General Assembly,
they find that the Senator will have
"walk-over incaucus. The former
contend as assuredly that they have
counted noses and that Ransom
against the field stands no chance,
and that if the field can unite on
another man Ransom is gofte. It
will be a warm canvass. The Sena
tor, who was not born yesterday,
rwill not be idle meanwhile and we
predict that he will scoop in the
field. .
Somehow or other, though we
know that it is irreligious to rejoice
when your enemy tumbles into the
pit that he has digged for yu, we
experience a melancholy pleasure in
talking to our Republican friends
about the internal revenue, con
gratulating them upon the prospect
of its speedy abolition by their par
ty and supposing that, of course,
none of them intend to apply for
office in a system that is so soon to
be abolished. It is mean in us to
act this way, but Jhey-promiaed so
flatly during the campaign that they
would dig it up root and branch
that - we cannot possibly help it.
When twitted with this they retort
that "nobody who had a right to say
so said so." Well, nobody in their
party has a right to say so, then,
for they all said so. And while they
were promising the internal reve
nue's abolition they were trading on
the offices in it for about ten times
their value more than "for all thej
ware worth." Our Wilkes corres
pondent about strikes a correct av
erage when he says that they prom
ised 50 revenue offices to 300 men.
Ah, what a happy time they will
have in March ! Eating crow ami
cat will be a pleasant pastime com
pared with the dish collectors, dep
uty collectors and other great men
in authority will sit down to after
they have been pulled and hauled
about and sworn at and abused and
treated with ignominy by the horde
of angry and , disappointed office
seekers that will charge upon them.
Two ladies, Miss Lewis, daughter
of Sheriff Lewis of Halifax, and a
Miss Bynum, of Glen Alpine, were
on a curved trestle of the W N. C.
R. R near Alexander, Monday of
last week, when a train rushed upon
them before they could get off, and
killed them both. Miss Lewis was
a school teacher and Miss Bynum
. was going to school to her.
Saturday night week at Bir
mingham, Ala., a mob attacked jail
to take out and lynch Richard
Hawes, a wife and child murderer.
Sheriff ordered mob back and
threatened to shoot. Mob advan
ced and Sheriff's party fired. Nine
men killed and twenty wounded.
OUR SPECIAL WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, Dec. 15.
To the Editor of the Lenoir Topic:
-Since I last wrote you very little
of interest has happened in the
House except the passage of the di
rect tax bill, which it will be reraem
caused . the deadlock last spring.
Some very able speeches were made
against its passage, and I am boi ry
to say, that a good deal of bitterness
was manifested in the discussion of
the amendment providing for the
refunding of the cotton tax. One
member from the Northwest was
extremely bitter, and attempted to
fling a reproach upon the Southern
Democracy for honoring her battle
scarred veterans. His speech, how-;
ever, fell flat and elicited little ap
plause even among the extremists;
Mr.-Allen, of Mississippi, caused
great merriment in his discussion of ;
the cotton tax amendment and
whilst his speech was full of wit he:
dealt some sledge hammer '' blows.;
For instance, says he, speaking of
the advocates of the bill,) "I think;
their real object is to get the money
for their States, which this bill ;ar-,
ries, and if ever passed at all, it
will be passed by a combination or
sort of pool of those members from
those States, who are more particu
lar about getting the money than
how they get it.7' He was opposed to
the bill without the cotton tax in
cluded which he he pressed hard.
The bill passed on Wednesday
evening by a vote of 178 to 96,
Messrs. Cowles and Johnson voting
against its passage, the other mem
bers from North Carolina voting in
favor of it. Messrs. Carlisle, Cox,
Mills and Randall also voted in the
negative. The bill has ; now passed
both Houses aad is before the Pres
ident, but there 6eems to be doubt
about its receiving his signature' on
the grounds of unconstitutionality
a matter its warmest advocates upon
the floor never argued. But Cleve
land has the nerve and backbone to
do what is right, and the people
need have no fear of bad legislation
while he is President.
The Senate is still on the tariff
bill. Senator Vnne is- leading the
fight on the Democratic- side, and
every true North Carolinian should
feel proud of Senator Vance, who is
one of the ablest men in the Seimte,
and can grapple any question that is
presented to that body. It is probi
able that the Senate tariff bill will
I pass the Senate in February, and
I 1 1 ' ! i 1 .. t nlf Atat lAn
Will paSS WILIJOUU IIIUVJli rtivvittuwiy
In its present shape, I am glad tb
say, that it will not pass the House.
The Republican leaders are be
ginning to be worried by applicants
for office, and one said to me the
other day, "that four years of rest
seemed to make th'em all the more
gredy j and if the pressure had set
in so early he did not know what
would be done, after the 4th of
March,-" and continued he, "I don't
reckon the Republicans down South
care much about tht offices, as they
are with us for love of their coun
try." :;j
The local leaders of many 6f the
States are in the city, and the welfare
of the liepublicanparty depends up
.on his appointment to a certain posi
tion, foir it just so happened, that
he. turned the tide, that narrowly
floated Mr. Harrison to victory.
Thus the world coes, and will go on
so long as we have offices to bestow
upou' the people. ;
The people of Washington City
worship the powers that be. During
last winter Dr. Sunderland's church,
the one attended by President and
Mrs. Cleveland, was a perfect jam
of living humanity every Sunday,
and it was then thought the crowd
was there to get a glimpse at Mrs.
Cleveland. But alas ! how mistaken
were those who were led astray by
this delusive idea, for today I atten-N
ded that church, but no crowd was
pressing; for seats. The church was
reasonably well filled, and Mrs.
leveland was there, even more
beautiful, if possible, than ever.
But Mr. Cleveland can bestow no
favors after March 4th next, and the
people are not so very fond of hear
ing Dr. Sunderland.
, The city is now about ready for
Christmas, and the -shopping I is
heavy. The show windows are
beautiful and almost everything im
aginable inr the way of a gift is
nicely presented in the man' large
show windows. , And they have va
rious ways of getting crowds togeth
er here. The latest I noticed was a
man dressed in red, with a red cap
set with large shining stones. - He
had two pies baked in tin pans and
called up two negro boys, put them
on the high seat in the wagon and
told them he would give the one
who eat his pie up fircrt fifty cents ;
were to eat without touching the
pie except with tho niduth. At a
given signal they set in, and if two
riggers ever eat vpie in a hurry these
certainly did. At the expiration of
three minutes one of the darkies
raked in the remnants from hischin
with his tongue and said to the oth
er:, "See here, niggar, you got more
pie dan you want." This ended the
-pie race, and then the fellow, who
Iproved to be a patent medicine ped
Idler, began his sale, and if success
crowned his efforts I cen't bear wit-
. ness to it, for I left at the end of.
the pie race.
' : Major Martin, of Texas, had a
slight encounter with the gas story
reporter, and but for the fact that
the Major's arm was caught, he
would have gotten in a regular Tex
as blow and might have necessitated
the employment of another reporter.
It won't do to-fool with Major Mar
tin ; he is a true Southern man and
will not take an insult.
Col. Cowles and family are at the
National Hotel this winter. This
house has recently been refurnished
and is kept in splendid style now.
There are many other Southern
peeple at this hotel, and by the way,
some very pretty young ladies, and
if I was a courting man would find
out their names, but will leave this
part of my letter to be finished by a
young man from N. C. who is fast
becoming acquainted with them.
Sngar GrovR Letter.
Suoah Grove, Dec. 10.
To the Editor of The Lenoir Topic:
May it not be somewhat interest
ing to some of your many readers to
know what a wonderful country we
have up here in this beautiful land
of the mountains? of the sky, of tho
clouds ? The grand old mountains,
once the home of the howling wolf,
the prowling bear, the stealthy pan
ther and the princely and grace
ful stag, last and not least, the
wild and fierce Indian, all roamed
free monarchs of our grand moun
tains, our beautiful hills and lovely
valleys, until the hardy and adven
turous pioneers of civilization inva
ded the homes of these aborigines
and waged a war of extermination
against those wild denizens of this
once wild region clothed in its vir
gin verdure. First came the pioneer
hunter armed with hunting, knife,
tomahawk and deadly rile. His
camp tires lighted np those dark
forests ; the hills echoed the sharp
cracking rifle, and soon many tro
phies of the bear, the wolf, the deer,
etc., rewarded the huntsman's toil.
Then came the pioneer farmer, or
rather half farmer and half hunter,
for he carried his axe in onef hand
and his rifle in the other to defend
himself and family from thfe wild
beasts and the no less wild and sav
age Indians. Those were fearful
times, full of hardships, privations
and danger. 1 J
This epoch in the history of our
country opened up an avenue8 for a
higher order of citizenship, of mor
als, of society. Hence we -find
doctors, school teachers and niuis
ters of the gospel who taught and
preached in log cabins. TheyNlid a
grand: and glorious work and the
fruits of 'their labors have followed
them, and like "bread cast upon the
waters to be gathered manyj days
hence." This second epoch ii our
country's progress :is followejl by a
still broader, higher, nobler jbarcei
in the progress and development of
this wonderful country of Ours,
flowing, as it were, with "milk and
honey," rich in its aluable timbers,
inters, minerals and -its bountiful
productions of all kind.s of glrains,
fruits and vegetables. This i u uly
a land of the free, the home of the
brave, whose portals are open ;to all
who may wish to share its many ad
vantages with all its blessings!
Now, we are come to the third
stage or epoch in the history and
progress of W atauga, and if the kind
and indulgent reader will follow me
I will show you oyer this beautiful
land of the sky, where the warn and
genial sunshine of 'friendship will
greet and welcome you. j
In the picture of the third epoch
you will see large, neat and! well
tilled productive- farms, yielding
their .increase to reward the tdils of
labor,-and" on many of tin s-j Jfarms
you will see-fine and elegant dwell
ings.! Then' follows many public

flourishing schools, . prosperous and
growing Churches of the -different
denominations. Show inc.. a country

much sorrow for the failure jof the
school there. Now Mr. "Jactf,"you
don't know much about the -school
at Cove Creek Academy or you wil
fully misrepresent it. j
The Cove. Creek Academy was
built by a joint stock compahy and
a school of high grade established
by the dom. and put in chafge of
Professor Martin for several sessions,
who was a fine teacher and ; gave
general satisfaction. Then ifrof. E.
Spencer Blackburn was employed by
the board of directors as principal.
He is a young man of rare literary
attainments for one so you-ng ; a
self-made man of groan prorrjise for
future usefulness as an edhcator.
Tho official statistics slow that, his
school now has an enr.Mmentjof 105,
dailv attendance 85, music students
13, boarders 20, new students last
week 7; students ready for fcollegw
0-7 boys, 2 girls. The facility of

mountain country, ;md offers rnaliv
advantages and inducement to bovs
and girls, young men and f: young
ladies who may wish to attend a
first class school. ' i ' .
Cove Creek Academy is located in
the best section of Watauga county.
Its moral and religious society is of
the highest grade. Board from $5
to $7 per month at Banner's Hotel
and private houses, tuition $1 tfij$3,
music $2. Will remark that IHam
not a patron of the schoojl and have
no interest in it more thaffany other
