To the Editor of The Lenoir Topic: Harrison is still keeping up his policy of wearing out the office seek ers, judging from the way the hotel lobbies are beginning to thin out he is succeeding pretty well. With the exception of a batch of postmas ters, he has made no important ap pointments this week, and the re publicans are Blowly discovering that it is poor policy to try to drive him into a hurry after he has announced his intention of going slow. Pa tience, Messrs. office seekers, your machine goes slowly out every time it appoints a man it is a republican, free from any symptoms of mug-, wumpery, that succeeds a democrat, and it is only a -question of time when every democrat now in office will be succeeded by a, republican. What more can you ask? In the mean time if you want to see the republicans appointed and democrats removed with lightning rapidity just drop into First Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson's office and see ,him manipulate the fourth class pose offices of the couu try. He has reached an Average of over fifty a day. , Assistant Secretary Bussey of the Interior Department has just re versed a pension decision of Gener al Black, that will affect many other application. The applicant - j i v. -r.. n Was lUJUTCU uv kuc iaii ui a nci seats at a circus, and General Black rejects the application for a pension . on the ground that the injury was not received during the performance of duty. Tnis decission has now been reversed and the pension . al lowed. ' The published disagreement be tween Mr; Harrisoq and Mr. Blaine does not exht as far as I can ascer tain, therefore the rumored retire ment of Blaine from the Cabinet is a little premature.. Doubtleess the. correspondent who sent the matter off, like the most of other people here, regards such a state of affairs as almost a certainty at some time in the future and did not think he was taking any very great risk in sending the matter off as having al ready become a certainty. Mr. Harrison' latest rap at the - democratic party was to inform a democratic Senator, who called od him in behalf of a democrat that wants tobe a member of the Civil Service Commission, that in ap pointing those democrats, which by law he is compelled to, he should only reconize those that are protec tionists. This seems to be an in justice to the great majority of th democratic party. Solicitor General Jenks has bee.-. requested by the Attorney Genera' to remain in office until the S" preme Court disposes of the govern ment telephone cases. Mr. Jenks ha. consented, although it seriously! it: tereferes with arrangements he bau previously made in relation to bit private business. '; Representative Springer said just before leaving for home I" feel much better than I havft for a Inner tirrn I have gained fully ten pounds n weight since the fourth of March, due probably to the fact that I have had nothing to do with the great National steeple chase for office. My supporters are not entered foi , that cause. A great many of them were four years ago and then I ha: , j j came I could do nothing but dren i of the thousands of anxious fnce -that haunt the White House and th Departments. I am a good de;. more of a C ivil Service reform i than I ever supposed I could be Of conrse I understand that when . we hare a perfect Civil Service Li t millenium will not be far away, bin I think it better to move in the d- rectfon of the millenium than t wards pandemonium which is tl result of the Spoils system. Ther. is too much patronage in the ham of the President and the Depart ments. and I shall, next winter, in troduce and advocate a bill to relit v e them of much of the pressure. 1 will try to lift the Congresamai.V burden too. by working for the elec tion of the postmasters by the pe pie ; that can be done without changing the constitution, for the election would be simply a recom mendation. . Democrats"here are confidently ex pecting that Montana will go dem ocratic, thus adding two Senators and one representative to the party's vote in Congress. The Department clerks that were discharged during Cleveland's ad ministration are trying to get Har rison to change the ruio of Civil Ser Tice, which says that no clerk discharged shall be reinstated after the lapse of one year without pas sing a now examination, so ai to make it four years. Harrison has not decided the matter, but it is not believed that be will do it. : - h"7lt"tc?i:s. A Po8tofS.ce by the name of Guth ria has been pptAhTihr1 in Olrlartn. ma territory and Dennis T. Fly&sj zzi ccn appointed rcstmaster. JS o l : !y hvt3 tX cr jizzt Guthrie and " :-ir"!-: it!::r?, bat Fhpn will be allowed to enter the territory before the 22nd and lay off the town He will probably locate it in the middle of his 160-acre home stead that he will take up immedi ately and his fortune will be made. The Steamship . Danmark, from Christiansand, Denmark, for New York, with 722 passengers aboard, was sighted by another steamer, disabled anu abandoned somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean a few days ago. It is very much feared that the passengers, leaving the ship and taking to the frail life boats, per ished in the stormy weather that Erevailed a week ago, but it is also oped that they were picked up by some passing- vessel. h; Saturday and Sunday week, when the wind was blowing so hard in this section and while the fire was sweeping through our forests, the wind was blowing just as hard along the coast and in the cities fires were numerous. Norfolk, Va., suffered more than any other city, though the storm was severe in all of them. There was great loss of life and of shipping in the bays and on the sea-coast. On the coast high winds bring high water, the wind blowing the tide in and making it higher than usual. At Norfolk the tide was 18 inches higher 'than it had ever been before and the lower part of the city was submerged. Here great quantities of lime were stored and the water slacked it and started a number of destructive fires which the firemen could not reach on ac count of the depth of the 'water. The growing crops in the country round about were submerged and injured. Hundreds of sea-faring men perished in ( besapcake Bay. On the 22nd of April settlers will be allowed to enter the new territo ry of Oklahoma and stake off their claims. It is estimated that there are at least 30,000 men on the bor ders in Kansas and Texas ready to make a rush when the 22nd rolls round. They are all armed, anxious and greedy for land and a terrible and bloody time is feared. Thsre are ouly 1,800,000 acres of land in the territory, equal to 11,250 home steads of 160 acres each and 30,000 men start in to claim these. In a few weeks there will be 100,000 in there fighting over 11,250 home steads. Of course there will be trouble, especially as there! are a large number of desperately bad characters among the boomers. Ex peditions are massing at Wichita, Kansas, and other towns and are fixing up thousands of portable houses, quantities of provisions, &c. Until Congress meets there will be no courts, no codes of law and no government and vigilance commit tees will be the only recourse for law. Even they cannot be organiz ed till the motley mob fights its way to some sort of settlement. A com inission is on a trade with the Indi ans for the purchase of 6,000,000 iicres of the Indian Territory to be added to Oklahoma, but the trade will not be complete nor the land .hrown open under a year. Green Goods. Maion Times-Register. Mr. Robert U., Lewis, of Bee Log, Y-ncey county, came near being taken in by the Green Goods confi dence game last Monday. Mr. Lewis' version of the affair, is that he received a letter from Mr. Town send to the effect, that there awaited aim in the Express office a package upon which was due the sum of $150. M r. Taylor came to Marion paid the $150, and received his package, and with it a bill in words and tigures as followb; "Robert H. L'-wis, Dr. - To Charles McDonald Rah way, N. J. For jewelry per in voice $150. He started homeward rejoicing, when for the first time it occured to his astute mind, that he would examine the package, and let his eyes feast on the glittering prize, which bad come to him unbeknownst and so unexpectedly. Mr. Lewis moat-energetically affirms that he l -i neither knowledge or previous vquaintahce with his benefactor, N'r. Charles McDonald. He undid the wrapper which disclosed a handsome jewelry case. Mr. Lewis' eyes enlarged became distended, all ngerness and, impatience, he could not wait to find the key, which opens the casket, he forces the lock raises the top when lo and behold, there neatly wrapped and folded lies u nice clean well shapen, smooth Mock of wood. A change came over Mr. Lewis in the twinkling of an eye, he experienced a revulsion of feelings, his eyes jlistended yet wider, his lower jaw dropped, his tongue lolled from bis mouth, a cold streak of big disgust traversed his spinal column, he tumbled all In a heap, realized that he had a clear clean, title to, and in poses sioniof a big block of dear bought experience, and felt a goneness in the place where that $150 was wont to be. He pulled himself together, came to a right about face and coun termarched or rather kicked himself all the way back to Marion, by which time; his senses had returned. He sought out J. L. C. Bird Esq., plac ed himself and his block of wood in Mr. Bird's keeping, who promptly as certained tkat the money was still in the hands of the express agent, an'l as promptly attached the same and it is now in the custody of Marshal Finley, where it will lie, nntil its righful ownership is determined by the slow process of the law. - The express company is ntntral in the contest, only solicitous that the proceedings shall be legal. Mr. Charles McDonald, of Radway, N. J., defendant will be summoned by publication, he is not likely to an swer in Person, on the 24th rlawnf V May next, when the cts3 will bo tried. The result is readily nt!ci-v pi: J. Tha ccttrt rill tt its cc:t?, Marshal Fihley his fees, and Mr. Bird his fee, Mr, Lewis will get the balance of his $150, and a whole some lesson in' the uncertainties; in cident of monkeying with the Green Goods buzzsaw, which we. hope will make him a wiser and better man. a Visit to Washington-Presidant Harrises Off 1C8 Seekers. MORG ANTON, April 10. To the Editor of the Lenoir Topic : Thus far the Republicans of the South have received very little rec ognition at the hands of President Harrison. While it is true that we did nothing for him in the way of electoral votes, we were a potent factor in his nomination and feel that he ought to treat the South as n part and parcel of the Union. I am of that, class of Republicans who believe that, he should ignore' sec tional lines und make us of the South feel that the; Angels of Rec onciliation hud again lenewed their vigils over our once distracted bor ders and that the Gates of Hell, which for four sad years stood ajar, have forever been closed. He is an honest, firm man, j with a strong moral sense and I fear, a decided Northern bias. Ism sure, however, that he will not suggest any meas ures tending to oppress the South or : in any way calculated to retard her steps in the march of material pro gress. . ' " . Just now Washington City is the abiding place of the office seekers wanting positions anywhere from a $15 peis annum j estoffice to a $10,- 000 foreign mission. Failing in both these they will tale a pair of Mr. Harrison's old breeches. Being my self an applicant for a $1500 a year position in the postal service, and seeing that the tide was running in favor of some fellow from Michigan, 1 at onco withdrew. Learned as I am in the Spanish language and the Spanish laws, I at once applied for the Brazilian mission, the place held by Gov. Jarvis under Mr. Cleveland. I thought, according to the "survival of the fittest," that North Carolina was entitled to the place, and I knew of no Republican in the State who - could discharge the duties of the office more effi ciently than myself, or one who would draw the salary with more regularity and precision. This is a petrified fact. No man can con ceive of the hungry, howling horde, pleading their great services, their outlay of money, and their brilliant oratory in behalf of Mr. Harrison and the grand old party. There was not a Republican in Washington who was not cither an orator, a statesman, or a "patriot" there were n3 "clansmen" there. Burke, of course, had been and was still represented. Our popular townsman, that shrewd and adroit politician, Mr. D. C. Pearson, and myself, were the "last of the clan." When asked "what are so many of you Burke fellows doing here ?" we replied in the language of the brave Spartan at the pass of Thermopylae, "We are here in obedience to the laws of our country." Yes, that is the idea our couutry no selfish ness, no personal interest, but pure disinterested patriotism. In fact I never knew a Republican actuated by any other motive. One of the great drawbacks so l waa informed to the city of Wash ington, is what is known as malaria, a strange kind of malady which pervades and permeates not only the back alleys, but all the principal streets, extending to the House of Representatives aid Senate t'hara ber ; and yet by seme strange chem istry of its nature, it does not reach the yhite House. In ' fact, it is claimed that Mr. Harrison is the only man in Washington who is im pervious to its assaults. Besieged and beset as he otberwist may be, this fact should make him exceed ingly happy. The chief cause of this disease is attributed jto a "red fluid" of which the denizens as well as strangers partake, the same being charged with germs of disease, first producing garrulity andfending in blind stupidity. It was perhaps not so prevalent before the war." I recollect to have read a speech of Senator McDougald from California in opposition to a "Bill to abolish the Senate Restaurant." He closed by saying : "No man can become great, who lives on hog meat and hominy, He must drink wine from high Olympus, And sweet mead from Valhalla; I believe in War, women, wine and whiskey." Classic as this sentence may be,, fine as the alliteration may be, it contains a harmful, poisonous senti ment, which no one will ' defend, and I only quote it for the purpose of remarking that in McDougald's day this "red fluid ' must have been an unknown quantity. Seriously, Washington is a superb city, perhaps the finest in the world. It is immense, everything about it is immense and it is indeed an orna ment to this fair i and God-favored land of ours. Tho Treasury, the Navy, the War, the State, the Inte rior, the Library, the Museum, in fact all the public buildings are as superb as money, masonry, marble and architectural skill can make them. Everything about the city has an air of splendor, betokening the glory and grandeur of American civilization. There stands in im- S08ing and almost God like graa eur, the highest structure in the world -"The Washington monu ment." Pennsylvania Avenue, the finest street of modern or ancient times, lined on either side with splendid structures, which gleam and glow as if touched with pearl and burnished gold, and paved with asphalt and navble, is far different from the Pennsylvania Avenue which John 1. ti t!:o hihr;! and dryest, thewetest, the dirtiest, the damndest street in the world. There is no building on earth which compares with ' the marble magnificence, the courts, ith corri dors, the emblazonry, the tapestry, the frescoing, the groining, the es planades, the dome, the vastness of "The Capitol Building," save per-" haps the marble Cathedral at Co logne or that still greater marble palace, erected by the Emperor of the Orient, on the banks of the sa cred Jumna, to the beautiful Taf Noormahal. - As I stood neath that great dome, in that grand old Chamber, whose walls are adorned with the paintings of the finest masters, there, where, Clay and Calbonn charmed the ears of a Nation with "thoughts that breathe and wordd that burn," there where Webster and' Hayne measured mighty mental lances, whos gleams still illume a continent, there where John Randolph deuounced a com promise between Jackson and Clay, as a coalition between Blifle and Black George, there where our own Wiley P. Mangum enriched and adorned a nation's, annals with the torch of his eloquence, there where Rufus Choate spoke with the inspi ration of oratory and in tones of mudic,! could but feel the influ ence of "Immortal names . that were not born to die," ; and proudly confessed that the ground on which I stood was holy. There, gazing on the chiselled feat ures,, of Thomas Jefft-rson, still pleading for the "sovereignty of the States," Roger Sherman signing the Declaration of Independence, brave Ethan Allen shouting the cry of battle, and other great men ffom other States, proclaiming from their marble lips, civic triumph or mili tary prowess ; imagine my shame and sorrow, when I found that North Carolina, the birtnplace and the cradle of the "Declaration of Independence" had no statue in the nicho assigned her in that group of American greatness. I involuntarily asked why is this, and it seemed to me that from those cold lips came the reproachful words : "North Carolina does not revere the memory of her illustrious dead." I bethought me of Cornelius Har nett and hoped and prayed from my innermost soul, that at some day our Legislature would have his form fashioned in marble and send it to Washington, there to tell of our early history, our loyalty and devotion to the cause of human freedom. When first he heard of American triumphs at Lexington, the notes of the victory mingling with the waters of the Cape Fear and the Albemarle, singing through the Pine Groves of the East and firing the hearts of our brave bold ancestors along the banks of the Holston, the Yadkin and the Ca tawba, he cried with all the fervor of his patriotic soul, "God -speed the message." C. F. McK. 1 e-" Cedar Valley Letter. Cedar Vallky, April 15. To the Editor of the Lenoir Topic : Our people are feeling sad now on account of the almost sudden death of one of our best men' Esq. J. F. Brown. The loss to this community of Mr. B. is great as he was loved by all that knew him. On Saturday, the 6th inst., about 10 A. M. fire was discovered in the roof of Mr. Wm.

The wind carried'- fire several hundred yards setting the woo Is -near Mr. Lax ton's and it was with difficulty that it was kept from his building. With the hard work of one or two hundred men the fire was confined to a circumference of three or four miles. Mr.McLeod's loss is heavy.'
