V ' Mr. J. M. McCorkle said : Mr. Chairman? " The people ;of North Carolina are called upon to-day to mOurft the loss of a distinguish ed son, a great and good man. But the people of Salisbury have deeper cause for mourning. As you, Mr. chairnan well know, the deceased spent his life here.

Norfolk Landmark.1 The 'Whiskey Ring of the West Baocock Immensely Rich. - Babcock is now immensely rich and has an elegant cottage at Long Brauch, bes sides tbe house which he owns here, but when he came to Washingtob as Grant's protege and Private Secretary, he was not worth a dollar outside of his pay! as au officer in the army. There is no doubt but that he was deeply implicated in the immense frauds of the Board of Public Works, which were. investigated last year by-Congress, and no one has forgotten how the majority of the Cougreesioual Committee of Inquiry, who were Repub licans, - endeavored without success to whitewash the whole affair. 'Indeed, trails were discovered leading directly j to the doors of the White House, but the? Demo cratic minority were powerleds, and mat- Ufa could not be pushed to ibeeud. Now things are different, and the people of tbe country can have the satisfaction of seeing those who plunder them punished. Grant is determined to save Bibcock if possible, and do pains will be spired to gain the desired eud. It is hard i to tell why Babcnck is such a favorite with Mrs. Grant, and the whole Graut family; he is not at ail d is Unguis bed in appearance, and a stranger would beyond a doubt re gard him as an ordinary and common looking man. - ! Babcock, however, is a favorite of tot- tone, lie is a colonel oi engiueers iu tne regular army; private secretary to tbe President; commissioner of public grounds and buildings; president of tbe Colombia lymg-ip-asylum: engineerin-chief of the Washington aQueduct. and architect of the new State and Wat 'buildings. He ia all this and more. lie has crown rich in a miraculous way. His frieuds have grown rich faster thin is compatible with any theory ot Honesty, ana yet tne x-resi- dent pretends to know nothing about it. ' . " t t dbould any investigation bo called tor, ny the House it will i)e entrnsted. to the Committee on Wava ' and Means- it w at present, should such a course be called Testigation willjje. It is certain that tbe Democrats will not attempt any interfer ence that will embarass Secretary Bria tow in the least; but they will rather lend him all the assistance in their power.

The Sun of this morning says: "During the past few days attachments have flowed into the Courts of this city chiefly from New York creditors against H. J. Hall &r Co., styled in the directory as 'dry goods and notion dealers,' at No. 6 North Howard street. The name of Matthew E. Hawley, of New York, appears in Ihe directory aa the compauy. 11. J. Hall had been doing business in Baltimore for nearlv two vears. and the operations of the house, were extensive. A. few .days before Christmas Mr." Hall, the only mem ber of the firm known in Baltimore, went away, saying, it is alleged, that he in tended to go to-New Yotk to arrange with soma creditors who. were pressiugfor pay ment. "About $4,800 worth of goods were Lfound at No. 6 North Howard street, which were removed at tbe instance of tbe attaching creditors to Bennett's auction rooms. Thus far attachments on claims aggregating $10,000 Wve issued for New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Providence and . Baltimore creditors. Some- of tbe bills of New York houses ran as high as $4,000. The total amount of the; claims as figured up by interested persons is up ward of $90,000, distributed among a large number of business houses In van oua cities."

McDonald subsequently - denied the truibbftbe alleged incident, and intimated that ft had been gotten up for political ef fect. Bot the stoty had gone the rounds, and the Republican papers produced it in glowing terms as another proof of Grant's Roman virtue. Even now it is held up as an example worthy of imitation. ' V t - - : 1 ' t t - . . . xi tne x'resiaent ever naa.a aisposition to turn his back on these conspirators and thieves, he seems saddonly to have chang ed his mind; Babcock, who was the chief stay of the, corrupt combination, and has been indicted like his confederates." is now at Washington engaged in preparing his defence, with free access to every avenue of official information, i He stands' re- eisely where McDonald stood before trial, ana is to be arraingedforasinjilaroffaoce. How has be been treated I So far from not beiner received because of this criminal indlctmehtrBabcock has been welcomed at tbe White House as if nothing bad occurred ta cbaage his r rela tious. He oceuptes bis desk there as usual, and actually performs duty as - secretary, while the place is osteusibjy held by his former assistant and confederate. The Cabinet, with the exception perhaps of Mr. Bristow, treat him as a persecuted person, and other high officials have ex tended to htm a (degree of -civilitv and deference which is best explained bv the President's open sympathy and par tiality. i ? ' s How effective this Executive protection may prove to be,! will be known in a few weeks. It saved Harriqgtou from the penitentiary when on trial for the safe burglary. And it is intended to rescue Babcock from the clutches of justice, when the proofs of his guilt are overwhel ming. There is more than friendship at tbe bottom of this extraordinary interest on behalf of tbe indicted secretary. Bab cock holds secrets that make him danger ous, and for that reason no power will be spared to insure his acquilal. N. Y. Sun. The New Year opens with a continues tion of the mild weather which made Christmas week so remarkable. An ex animation of t Lie daily weather charts of the signal office, which we saw- at WiU mington, showed the remarkableperhaps unprecedent fact -that for five successive days during the past week, there was no point in the United State?, east of the Rocky.

Daily Joyce says that be is impatient for the' society of Avery, McDonald and Bab cock, and that if the Government attor neys do their duty Hhe 'White House will.be badly ecorchud, the President uot excepted." A youug woman of pekin, HI., was asked by her minister if her hoeband fear ed the Lord. She replied, "Fear him ! Bless you, he is so afraid of him that he never goes Out of a Sunday without tak ing his gun along." Joint Stock Co-operative Farm ing Companies. We are 1 ud to ay that considerable interest has beeu excited by the articles which have appeared iu the Rural Cau olihian on tho subject of co-operative farming. The viewt advanced appeal to the practical common sense-of the planter aud ihe business man. The only fear ex pressed is that the agriculture classes are so little accustomed to any combination or concert of action', and so unfiled, by the habits bred of their isolated, humdrum life, that they will be unable to act together, in the way proposed, for the common good A few years ago, this (ear would have been well- grounded, perhaps, but the Grange has already done much to teach the faimors thtir tine relations to each other and to give them confidence in as sociative actiou. They see clearly the application of the principle to their own business to farming Useif and are maty of them, ready, we are convinced, to show their faith by their works. Aa there is at present no organization of the elements required in such a combi nation as we have indicated and one is likely to wait for another 'to take the ius itiativc, and tho work be thus indefinitely delayed, we hereby offer, to become a medium of communication between the various parties who are:intereeted -in set ting ou foot; one or more Joint Stock Co operative Farming Companies to operate in the South, especially ip the Sea Island and coast regiu ofSouth'Carolina.

A Remedy that has made its Mark. Success is the meed of excellence. The truth of this has never been more forcibly exemplified than by the triumphant career of llostetter's Stomaco Bitters. No sooner did the people di;coverthe genuine merits of that aupreme invigorant and corrective than they hastened to stamp it with the seal of popular ity. The pres3 and medical profession speed ily followed iu the wako of the public, and emphatically endorsed it. Thus from the very outset tho -success of the Bitters aa remedy and preventive was an established fact, and a degree of popularity which it ofteii takes proprietary medicmes years to attain, was achieved almost at a stride by the thei now preparation. Since that time every sue eessive year has witnessed fresh accessions to the favor with which the Bitters were early regarded, and the area of its popularity is no longer confined to the United States, brft id chides the British Provinces m North Amet ica and the TTest Indies, South America Mexico, portion? of Europe and Australia That it is riot oul j a remedy for dyspepsia, constirpatioa, biliousness, urinary and urierine complaints, nervousness and debility, but also a preventive of those maladies to which air and. water, impregnated with miasma, give birth,-has-been -nowhere so strongly evi denced as in those regions wbere climatic conditions unfavorable to health exist, and where the Bitters have been Ing and con stantly tested. To call this superb cordel a remedy tuat has made its mark, cannot we think be regarded as boasting, since tbero is probably no proprietary remedy more widely known, universally respected and emphatically endorsed than these Bitters.
