tobacco are jilautetl in this part of Samp

is of considerable importance to pork
raisers, is uot abundant this year. Grape
crops are quite promising. Wheat is good
in the head, but thin on the ground. A
real "good field of wheat- would be a new
sight to the 8ampsouitest ; There seems
to be a want of silica in the land, which
subjects the wheat to rust. On an average,
I see les wheat here in n: week's travel
than in Howan in a day's t-avel. Oats are
more scarce than wheat.; I he potato
crop is large, but not very promising

the same view. Senators McDonald,
Bayard, Thurman and Hill, however op
psed this course with great earnestness
insisting that it wouhl I be both unwise
and unwarranted. They argued that it
would be injudicious to jive up the sub
stantial benefits acquired by tlie sectious
of the presont bill amending the jury
laws and abolishing the jurors' test oath
to which the President lias made no ob
jection. They also pointed out that tlie
President in vetoing tlu present bill on
account of one of its provisions, and at
the same time approving the army bill
had takeu a position at variance with
the argument of an influential part of

! , - From the Congressional Jlocorl,soth.
; Mr. Blaine. 4 have here a modern
schojl book which I got 'from the library
with the imprint of 1670. Thehouorable
Senator from North Carol a Mr. Vaiice
was good enoagli j to assure me that anv
books of that character belonged to a
past day and had faded ont.' I am very
sure that lie would be the last Senator to
make a misstatement, v ; .; . . r-.
Mr. Vance, jlf the Senator Will permit
me, I assured litni jl did not know of the
existence of ani-audi literature.
r Mr. Blaine. jTheu I do. I. My in forma
tiii iu rejmrditoi S Southern matters tin
that particular' point is wider than that of
tho honorable &eUaior, fram Xorth Car
olina.
I Mr. ahce,
Piea the Senator from
Maiue say he kuotvs the ImmiIc which he
holds in his hand Is nsed iu the schools of
Xorth Camlini tr! ! k .
j Mr. Blaine, j 5o ; I do not know that
this particular book has yet been intro
duced ; but I kuow that at the very time
the Senator from; Xortli Carolina was
giving me the!assnrauce that lie did not
know about it there was a very lively
controversy going ou in the town of
Greenville, iuj his owu State, between
different memliers of the board of super
visors of schools ins to w'heriicr this class
of liooks should be kept iu and that was
to me a very encouraging symptom, for
it legan to be the dawn of a lietterday
in that respect. : Bat here is a book pub
lished by At Si Ba rues & Cti., of Xew
Yrk, Chicago jiml Xew Orleans, as the
imprint show. I They are a very Ian
firm ; they afe a very respectable firm.
It is a book called "The Southern Stu:
dent's Handbook of Selections for Heading-
and OnUvr)'," edited by John G.
James, suicHuteudent of the United
States miliuiry academy at Austin, and is
just now fresh from the press. Whether
it is published sis a mere amusing thing,
or whether it! i intended for Southern
ciivulation, the Senator himself will bet
ter inform me than I could myself.
Mr. Vaneej I have uever seen tl.e book
before. i ;
Mr. Blaine. It w just from the press.
Mr. Vance. 1 will taken glance at it
as soon as 1 cany 1 see it- comes from
Chicago. 1 believe that is uot a South
ern city. j . -
Mr. Blaine. It is pablislied siiunltane
ously iu Xew York, Chicago ami Xew
Orleans ; that is the imprint, 1879. I
supHse Xew Orleans ranks as a Southern
city still. , "' j ! '
5lr. Vance. Yes, bnt it is printed hi the
North for the, puqiose of meeting the
prejudice of some people iu the South, to
make money otjt of it, just as the British
manufacturers used to mauufactnre idols
to send out to the Hindi os for sale iu the
same ship wjth the missionaries.
Mr. Blaine. If the Senator will permit
any such suggestion, I will state that gen
erally the placelwherb a iwok is printed
does not tell of its character. 1 am quite
free to maintain that this is one of the
most remarkable books that I ever came
across within the .limited sphere of my
own reading. It quite goes beyond this
other book about the heroic conduct of
Jeffersou Davis anil the bad conduct of
the Indiana reiriment at Beuua Vista.
f i I think there
is not a person who sneaks the English
laiiiruajie who has not heard of Thomas
H. Benton and; many other distinguished
men who have adorned the annals ot
Missouri,
something
they had
If fhev had In-eii telectiug
worthy for a reading book, if
taken Mr. Benton's Thirty
Years' View and merely transferred to its
HKe his magnificent description of the
character of Nathaniel Macn, they wouhl
have donef more for the Southern youth
than is contained within the 400 pages of
this volume. ?
Mr. Vaiip. Will the Senator allow me
to ask hini if lie makes that criticism as a
Senator or as a schoolmaster as to what
would lie most conducive to the .instruc
tion of Southern youth f
Mr. Blaine.;! do not understand the
Senator, j
Mr. Vance. The Senator says that if
the autliot of that b(Mk had inserted cer
tain things from Benton's Thirty Years'
View, he believed it would conduce more
to the instruction of Southern youth than
all it contained. I ask him if that adtice
is as a Senator or as a schoolmaster.
Mr. Blajne. Either, as you choose to
take it, if Jit will only lodge in the South
ern mind.
Mr. Vance.: -Allow me to ask the Sena
tor if he objects to what is in t&e book or
to what is not in it T
Mr. Blaine. 1 object to what is in it;
and I will come to that.
Mr. Vance. So far we have had nothing
of the contents of the book except the
names of some gentlemen from whom se
lections have been made.
Mr. Blaiue. If the Senator from Xorth
Carolina will accept the suggestion that
I have the floor, and that 1 have under
the rules of the Senate the right to speak
as 1 choose myself, he will observe some
law of courtesy which just at this mo
ment he is not obedient to.
Mr. Vance.! I accept the suggestion
with the greatest pleasure in the world,
if the Senator will llow me to remark
that I halve observed it has been his in
variable habit to interrupt auy gentle
man on tlie floor ami to yield to any
gentlemau who desires to interrupt him.
Mr. Bhiiiuv Always, but uot to have a
caustic remark made as to what line of
seech lihall iake. I shall select that
myself, with the Senator's permission.
Mr. Vance;; Of course I asked no per
mission. Yon. had been reading the list
of authors in Jthejbook, and were pro
ceeding tp deliver the South a lecture
when voii had mid nothing frmu the
lnk itself, aiid I asked if your objection
was urged upon what was iu it, or what
was uot in it, If I have reflected on the
gentleman 1 am sorry fr it.
Mr. Blaine. From the State of Xorth
LCaroliuaf-thts Senator will permit me to
proceed in my own way.
Mr. Vance." Certainly; sir.

So I might go throughout this book, it

related to the rebellion. I do not say en

ucuaies in ine senate or the 'House in
which in defense some members of both
bodies have made declarations of that
kind.
Mr. Vance. May I be permitted to in
terrupt tlie Senator from Maine I'j, .
.. Mr. Blaiue. With great pleasnre:
i Ma. Mance. I still am ignorant, as I
presume the Senate is, --of the - diameter
aud cou tents of tlie book which the Sen
ator holds in his hand, bat I take it for
grunted that at all events it is snob as
meets his earnest disapprobation. Xow,
I should like to ask, taking it for grant
ed that it is a very bad book, if any in-!
stitutiott iu the South of an official char
acter I mean any State school depart-;
men t has endorsed tlie book and piit it
into the public schools of the State f
Mr. Blaiue. That l am not able to an
swer. "1' j
Mr. Vance. Then have any private1
school adopted it and put it into use f
Mr. Blaine. I .am as ignorant on that
subject as the honorable Senator said he
was himself. He said it was not to las
knowledge - ,
Mr. Value. Then the Senator from
Maine tries to hold the whole Sowth re
sjMoisible for the publication of a iMMik by
a private author, the publication of which
was iiermittcd by hiw, and which no
body could prevent, if it was a bad book.5
That Isj tlie positiou now the Senator
stands in according to his owu state-7
me ut. i .' ' .
Mr. Blaine. That is a very small qnib
ble, if the honorable Senator choose to
indulge its it. Books are published iu
this country for tliepurpose of lieing
sold. I bring one here published by
Southern men, known and resiiectcd
among Southern men as teachers of the
youth, and 1 suppose this book was not
puhlUhed; for mere fun. I suppose peo
ple do not get up hooks for the mere
purpose of expeuding the money that is
necessary to print them. They are pub
lished for a purpose, and if at the next
session of Congress the honorable Sena
tor will address me that question and iu
the meantime endeavor to accumulate a
little information ou it himself, 1 think"
that the joint efforts of himself and my
self will be able to show that this book
will be iu a great many Sonthern schools.
Mr. Vance, I should like to say anoth
er thing with the Senator's crmisson.
The presiding officer. Does the Sena
tor from Maine yield t
Mr. Blaiue. Certainly.
Mr. Vance. The Senator certainly has
too much regard for law and for common
logic to hold the people of the South re
sponsible for the individual enterprise of
any man, as I certainly have too much
respect for him and his constituents to
hold him and them responsible for the ob
scene literature winch is flooded from the
presses of the Xorth, the prosecutions for
the circulation of which we frequently
see jn the newspapers. Xothing of that
kind has come from the section of coun
try in which I have the honor to reside ;
nor would I, as a logical and honest man,
attempt to hold the body of the Northern
pcople. Xorthern society, resimiisible-tor
that. That is individual enterprise, got
ten up to make money.
Mr. Blaiue. But how would they make
money if they were not sold t I ask the
honorable Senator to inform me how they
would make money if the books were not
sold?
Mr. Vance. They would not make
money, as a matter of course, if they
were uot sold. The selling of the books
has been prohibited by law, and many
Iiersons who have undertaken to circu
ate that kind of lonks have been indict
ed in the courts of the country, and there
fore Mr. Blaine. I a n talking about these
Southern school books. How would
these publishers of books ever make
money unless the Imoks were sold ?
Mr. Vance. Of course the owner of the
bMk would not make any money unless
he sold it. That is taken for granted
He professes utter ignorauce iu relation
to the book, except what he sees on the
face xf it. How does he know that any
body, privately or otherwise, has ever
bought a single solitary copy of that
book f i presume tlie copies which he
holds iu his hands are those sent to the
library according to the act of-Congiess.
Mr. Blaiue. If that is ' the point the
Senator has 1 will excuse him.
Mr. Vance. 1 leg leave to say further
that I do not mean by anything I have
said here to condemn the book. I have
not any doubt in the world but what it is
a very good book, ami that I will so find
it when 1 come to examine it. The Sen
ator tells me the author has done mo the
honor. to take au extract from some of
my productions publish it. Laughter.
That is prima facie proof that it is a good
and respectable book. Laughter.
Mr. Blaine. I think the Seuator is
quoted not as a politician, but as a bot
anist or lover of natural scenery, or
something of that sort. 1 think the ex--tracts
from the honorable Senator are en
tirely harmless, and do him great credit
as a writer.
Mr. Vance. I would not praise it first,
but the Senator from Maine was disposed
to put 8oine curious construction on it as
against the government of the United
States. -but it seems the author was very
wise and judicious in selecting that which.
would not do anylMKly any harm who
loved the union of tho country. So far
my impression seems to be in favor of the
author and against the Senator from
Maine.
Mr. Blaine. Oh, no; the Senator from
North Carolina apjiears iu the book in
charmiug and delightful colors. He ap-jK-ars
in the book as a description ist of
certain beautiful sceuery, iu which he
savs :
Verllv, It would seem that such mag-aincencc was
the Jolut wort ot both the celestial and the terres
tlal powers,
AS when some jrreat palntsr dips
Ills brush In hues ot earUi(u&fce and eclipse ;
and that some truant rainbow, based on either
mountain, had bestridden the glen wlta lis radiant
arch, and while In the zenith ot its elory. had been
wnliten by a thunderbolt Into amall, slowln dust,
whose shining atoms had been scattered down up
on the outstretched arms of the waiting forest I
Laughter.
The Senator does not appear at all as a
hostile political force, lie appears as a
limn who iu the higher and beautiful
field of rhetoric is capable of instructing?H'je nre originated iu their
the Southern, youth how to construct
sentences and mix up "glowing dust"
and "radiant arches" and "rainbows''
aud "thunderbolts" and "waiting forests"
iu a manner which 1 am free to say, so
long as we are on sectional issues, was
never heard of in the North I Laugh

the oratory of the Seuator from Maine.

Jail Delivery in Lincolnton.
Monday morning, at Lincoln-ton, Sher
iff Robinson went up stairs in the jail to
give the five prisoners their breakfast.
As he opened the door of the room -in
which the five were cou fined, having his
pistol in his hand, one of them, a negro
named Gilliam, seized him around the
arms and waist. The attack was alto
gether unexpected, the sheriff having left
the prisoners manacled the night before,
but he made a manful resistance. In at
tempting to close the door behind him, he
had it slammed to, and one of his bauds
badly lacerated, and at this juncture he
was overpowered and the "pistol wrested
from his hands. Three shots were fired
at him, but happily without effect, ant
four of tlie prisoners rushed down the
stairs, and with a piece of irou burst a
panel out of the door. Through this they
escaped, while Sheriff Robinson engaged
the hindmost prisoner and beat him back
into the cell with the handle of a broom.
A crowd was raised aud pursuit was
given tltu fugitives. All started across
the trestle over the South Fork, but one
becomiug frightened stopped on the tres
tle, and was re-taken. U,i to last ac
counts the others were still at large. All
of the prisoners were coined. Tlie one
who wrested the pistol lrom the Sheriffs
hands was a notorious desperado named
Johnston. It is supposed that they re
lieved themselves of their shackles dur
ing Sunday night, by means of a spoou
handle which was found in the cell the

Weston Wins.
London, June 21. The great contest is
finished.. Weston, to-niht stands with
out a rival in pedestrianism, as possessing
the highest "score on record. He is just
being .proclaimed with shouts and cries
the "Champion of the World." The'ltelt
goes back to America, iu the keeping of a
proud captor, there to remain until
Rowell makes another effort to recover
it. Weston completed his 550th mile,
thereby winning the belt, his bet, and the
championship. From 2 o'clock this after
noon until 8 this evening, Weston, after
having been over five days upon the
track, accomplished the astonishing feat
of walking five mires an hour.
At 2 o'clock his score stood 507 miles,
and during the next six hours tie had
piled up the miles until .they numbered
5.'fli. liming these six hours the excite
ment was something wonderful, aud the
plucky hero of the hour was greeted with
shouts and cheers as he boldly plodded
along against time. From 8 o'clock the
excitement steadily Increased, and reach
ed its culminating point just before the
finish. At ! o'clock Weston had made
the highest score on record namely, 513
miles ami 5 laps, Iwating "Blower"
Brown's great seme of 542 miles, made iu
this same hall last April. The hall at
this time was filled with an enthusiastic
crowd, who seemed never to grow tired
of cheering. Weston, though evidently
sutt'erimg somewhat from fatigue conse
quent npon his great effort, maintained a
smiling face, ami was the recipient of
many n friendly greeting. The great
struggle the greatest on record came
to au end at 11 o'clock, Westou going 550
miles with five minutes to spare.
