Hendricks, Vice President of the United States, comes on the people of the country like a thun der clap from a clear sky. His sickness was of short dtfratio and produced no alarm even in his own family. He at tended a reception the evening before, hut Was complaining next morning and through the day, and died at five o'clock, p m. Mrs. Hendricks, apprehending no .danger, was htertainng callers until that hoar ; and on rfturning to the room in Which she left her husband, found him dead He died of paralysis of the brain. The death of this distinguished citizen 'fa, humanly speaking, a great national olW,tv. He has been conspicuous m the political affairs of this country t -m nnl tta-ounh them all for has distinguished himself as a high toned, rfttMMJaai devoted friend of constitu tional liberty and the righto of the people. tta wu a tK)Dular favorite in hw own 8tate of Indiana, and was once its Gov ernor. For Years he has been regarded by his Democratic friends as the man for x-irUnt Mid his name was uruugut forward as a candidate in several nation al contentions. Along with Mr. Tilden he was elected in 1876, but was ruiea out by the notorious electoral commission of eight to seven. Few men have greater claims on the gratitude and admiration of the conserv- . a 1 T .1 lfk ative people of the country inau " Hendricks.! Always true and able in his Buooort and defence of the great founda tion principles on which the government was erected, those differing with him on questions of policy nevertheless admired and respected him. His death was a shock to all, political friends and foes alike ; but chiefly, we doubt not, to those whoso recently a year ago hailed his election with marked pleasure and gratitude. The waysof God are past finding out, but it is a consoling fact that infinite wisdom guides the affairs of states and nations, and even makes the fall of a sparrow to praise Him. What ean man know that is not better known by Him who rules heaven and earth forever ! The Morganton Asylum. This asylum is but another monument to the humane and generous spirit of the people of North Carolina in general, and to that most earnest, kind and noble phi lanthropist, the late Marcellus White head, M. P., of Salisbury, in particular. The idea of its establishment had long been a cherished hope of his life. He gave much of his time and talent to the work of making known the necessity and advantages of a new and more commodi ous asylum in the west. He labored pa tiently ud persistently in its behalf, un til the Legislature made an appropriation and ordered its construction. A monu ment to his memory, of Rowan granite, hould adorn the centre of the grounds. It was the good fortune of the writtr to be conducted through this great build ing recently by Dr. P. L. Murphy, the" efficient and affable superintendent. It fa the best ventilated, best heated, and. best arranged building in North Carolina. It is in the hands of a most intelligent and worthy board of directors among them editors Yates and Caldwell and is under the immediate superintendence of Dr. Murphy, assisted by our talented young townsman, Dr. E. M. Summerell. The visitor is impressed with the system and order of the place ; with the cleanli ness and freshness of the interior; with the comforts and conveniences provided for the patients; withthe restful quiet found there ; with the pleasant demeanor and kindness o- the attendants in fact, one leaves the place feeling proud that it exists as a North Carolina institution, where our unfortunate insane may re ceive the very best attention. July 4th, 1831 There was a fourth of July celebration in Salisbury in i.vu, ana tne proceecungs on the occasion are fully reportedr'in the Western Carolinian of July JrfXh of that year, the late Hon. Burton Craige being editor. It may interest some of the readers of theW Atchman to see the names of some of the men who were then actors inTiho events transpiring in our to IV e quote as follows : "At 10 o clock a procession of citizens was formed at the Courthouse, preceded- by Capt.

Mur ray over the churches of Siloam and Old Fort, last Sabbath, the 29th nit This is the first time these churches have ever had an installed pastor, in thmcmofy of the present generation. The field is a very wide one, scattered over the whole of McDowell County. The young pastor has been very active and efficient, and reported nine members added to the two churches since the summer communion. He was installed, booted and sparred, and with his mettlesome steed, named John Calvin, standing in the grove near by ; an emblem of tne Kind or work he is expected to do, as he makes his circuit of more than a half dozen preaching stations, and endures hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Furniture Factory. Wilson & Reid, enterprising young men, are doing a big business in manu facturing furniture at Morganton. N. C. It was the privilege and pleasure of the writer to be shown over the establishment last week. They have a splendid plant of machinery engines and boilers and all the necessary improved modern ma chinery for manufacturing any kind of furniture or house decorations. They make walnut, ashe, cherry, and oak suits and keep a large force constantly em ployed on the cheaper grades of furni ture. They turn out immense lots of the latter and sell at figures that defy com petition. Mr. W. W. Avery, a former partner in this factory, has determined to build a factory further west, probably at Abbe ville, so that there will soon be two fur niture factories in Western North Caro lina. The 60th Annual Session of the North Carolina Conference of the Methodist 'Protestant Church, closed its session at the Yadkin College oh Monday night, last. The attendance was full, and the session exceedingly harmonious and pleasant. Besides the usual routine business a special boom was given to Yadkin Col lege, the denominational institution of the State, and it is pleasant to learn that? the college is now entirely out of debt and in a fair way to entire comple tion. In addition to the students already there, a large number of scholarships were taken by members and friends of the Conference. Its outlook is better than ever before. Rev. T. J. Ogburn was elected Presi dent of the Conference for the ensuing year, and Rev. C. T. Harris, D. D., State Evangelist. The next session of the Conference Will be held in Enfield, N. C. The appointment of the preachers are not at hand. The Yadkin Railroad. The Directors of the Yadkin Railroadl.C01" its passage, and no legal or reas Company held a call meeting herepnthe 16th inst. The business of the" meeting was to accept the resignation of Hon. J. S. Henderson, as president, and to elect another in his stead. Theo. Fluttz, Esq., was unanimous ly chosen as president. He is one of the mos active men in the State, and is de bt ed to the lipbuildinsr of our eonntv. Splendid selection. Below is given Mr. Henderson's letter, stating his reasons for declining. To the Board of Director of the Yadkin Rail Road Company: Gentlemen : I respectfully place in your hands my resignation as President of the Yadkin Railroad Company. I find that my public duties are such that it will be impossible for me to give to the trust you have reposed in me the time and attention which such an office requires.- That the proposed road will be built in the future I believe to be abso lutely certain. When it will be built will depend upon circumstances which we cannot now foresee but the time may come sooner than we expect. I believe some corporations are now giving the subject considerable thought. I submit to your consideration a letter I have re ceived from the President of the Wil mington & Weldonand W. C. & A. Bail It is very important that some one should be elected President who can give a good portion of his time and thought to this enterprise. I expect to leave for Washington very soon where I will be continuously engaged for the next eight months in attending to my congressional duties. I shall be glad at all times to as sist the promoters of this enterprise to the extent of my power but I feel satisfied that some one should take my place as President, as I cannot under the circum stances perform at Washington both my duties to the public as a representative and as the President of a railroad coinpa- j " ucwia nu acuve, nve man con stantly at work in its behalf. Regretting the necessity, which com pels this action, oft my part, believe me w oe, Very truly yours, John S. Henderson. The Goldsboro suspended.

Tfee Capites White House, and Execu tive Departments are draped in mourning Aram, ana inc naiionsii iux . . , i- . a i ho If mast. Government ouiiuingw uuni " mi h When the President Was informed by telephone of the death of Vice-President Hendricks, he was going down to dinner. He seemed greatly shocked, and showed a hesitancy in believing the sad news. Then he sent for Col. Lamoiit, and iu a hort time the Cabinet officers were has tening to the White House with serious and : anxious faces, summoned by Mr. rlowlsind. The Cabinet remained in session for two hours and a half. The Commissioner of public buildings was sent for, and or dered to have all public buildings draped with emblems of mourning as soon as nosaible. The Cabinet took action in re gard to the funeral, and decided to at tend it in a body, with the President. Mr. Cleveland would have no successor if he should die before the date of the meeting of Congress. Under the consti tutional provision two lives interpose be tween those of the rresiaeni ana vice- Prsilent. and a vacancy. Ihe statute nrovides: In case of removal, death, res ic-nation or inabilitv of both the President and Vice-President, then the President of the Senate, or if there is none, the bpeak er Of the House shall act as President un til the disability is removed or a Presi dent elected. At present there is no President of the Senate and no Speaker of the House, and those officers cannot be elected until Consrress meets. Should a vacancy occur in fthe meantime the Government would be carried on by the Cabinet until President of the Senate or Speaker is elected, as it was during President Gar field's inability. Congress has done nothing to avoid such a situation as has now arisen. A bill providing for a different succession to the residency was mtroaucea last win ter. It provided, when the offices of the President and Vice-President were both made vacant by death, that the succes sion should pass first to the Secretary of State, and then to the other Cabinet otu cers in the line of their rank. Such a measure would keep the power with the administration which the people elected. This bill will probably be re-introduced early in the new session and pushed for passage. It would guard against possible Republican succession to President Cleve land, should anything nappen to nun. It is not thought that the death of the Vice-President can have any disturbing effect upon national politics, although ot course the majority in the Senate will elect a Republican to succeed him. That will naturally give rise to a feeling of un certainty for the reason that the death of Mr. Cleveland would change the political complexion of the administration. The effect of Mr. Hendrick's death will be felt in Washington society. The White House will be closed against festivities for some time, such as State receptions and dinners. The Cabinet officers will also be prevented temporarily from en tertaining. WheiTthe Senate meets it will probably be called to order by its oldest member This is Senator Morrill, of Vermont. Then the majority will proceed to elect a pre siding officer, who will be either Logan, hherman, Hoar, Ingalls, or Edmunds "Which will it be?" is a question much discussed just now. Thanksgiving day at the Capital was celebrated in the time-honored way. De partment clerks were paid off the dav before, so that thev could prepare for the holiday in a festive way. The wheels of the Government machinery were stopped schools were closed, churches were open ed, and families reunited, feasted, and made merry. Secretary Whitney offered to give al the clerks of the Navy Department a thanksgiving turkey, and made arrange nients to deliver the fowl to everyr officer and employe who would avail himself of the proposal. BLAIR BILL. WHAT EDITOR KITCHEN FINDS Scotland Neck DemocnUrrt No such outrage as .the passing of the Blair bill ought tp-be perpetrated upon the Americanpeople by the democratic party. Suehunconstitutional raids upon the Federal exchequer ought to be left to thextepublican party, there is no neces uuauie excuse lor unv uemocrat to vote for it. But there are manv reasons whv democrats and republicans in Congress should vote against it. The preservation of the liberties of the people and the autonomy of the States are far more im portant than the education of the people by the Federal government. Education will not supply the want of liberty or restore lost liberty. From our standpoint and with our convictions we view this pedagogue question in its present atti tude as a very dangerous and desperate move against free institutions of the coun try and the freedom of the individual citizen. We cannot view this measure in any other light than an entering wedge to disrupt and destroy ultimately the autonomy of the States. Leaving out the question of the consti tutionality of the Blair bill, we think it bad policy and poor statesmanship in a duplex system of government like ours, to allow either of these governments to make any new departures having even the appearance of invading the rights or territory of the other. It cannot be sound statesmanship or genuine wisdom for the Federal government to collect taxes from the people of the States in order to send it back to the same States to educate their children. Because each State could do this with much less expense than the general gov ernment. The pretext that the money is already in the treasury and cannot other wise be gotten out, is all nonsense and bosh. The government is in debt more than one billion five hundred millions of dollars which must be paid sometime be tween this and judgment day, by this generation or some generation which shall come after us. And the four hun dred millions of surplus which is said to be on hand, could be paid out on this na tional debt now, and by so doing put that amount of money in,' circulation, or it could be made a sinking fund to liquidate the bonds as they fall due, or it could be used to pay the current expenses of gov ernment and collect that much less from the people. But the seventy-seven mil lions of dollars in this bill is a small mat ter when compared with the evil and injurious effect of the measure should it become a law. The great object to be sought by all democrats in the next de cade, ought to be, to keep the Federal arm out of the States, to curtail, hedge in and limit its power within constitutional bounds. All money granted or appropriated by the government is trontrolled absolutely by the government and its agents. And the money they handle will of necessity innuencc tnem and that class am one which the money is distributed, in favor . of the distributing power. Every school I committee, school board and school iN-fr. teacher in the land Would be a Federal or a quasi Federal officer, whooping and howling for Federal patronage, Federal power and Federal supremacy over the ives, habits, callings and professions of the citizens of the States. And when this state of affairs has arrived, the next step would be to dictate what should be taught in each school, what religion should be taught in each school, what religion should be recognized by the government what political doctrines and theories should be crammed down each child. This will be the inevitable tendency of the times, should the Blair bill become a law. Instead of increasing the number of officials 40 or 50 thousand, the number ought to be reduced at least 80 thousand by the next Congress. Instead of increas ing the expenses of government ten mil lions per year, they ought to be reduced at least thirty millions. Instead of in creasing the burdens of the people, they ought to be lightened. T, Instead of increasing and enlarging the Federal power and influence in the States and over the citizens, they ought to be decreased, weakened, and limited. In stead of teaching the States and their citizens to rely on the Federal govern ment to maintain their independence and liberties, to educate their children, and to formulate their conduct and thoughts, they ought to be taught to trust absolute ly, and emphatically upon their own wisdom, virtue, patriotism and manhood, and to trust their own ability and judg ment to educate their children without looking up to and receiving aid from a Foreign patronizing government. But after all, this money offered to the States through the Blair bill, is money collected into the Federal coffers by Federal agents to be handed back to the states by Fed eral agents. Now why all this circuitous and expensive procedure to have schools in the States r Would it not be muck better and cheap er, more democratic and republican, and more in accordance witb the letter and spirit of our institutions for each State and county in the United States to col lect their money and have their own schools, if they want them, under their own control and superintendence ? After all, the money comes from the people. w e are' not ignorant of the fact that the country is full of educational cranks and loonies at the heads of collegies, academies, and high schools. And we also know the legislatures and the Con gress of the United States are not with out their political and educational cranks and fools, and we are not exactly blind to the met that this broad land of durs is full of political editorial cranks, whose stock in trade is education and civil ser vice nonsense and balderdash. An Engine in the French Broad. ACCIOEXT NEAR WARM SPRIK0S. Tbe shocking accid jnt which occurred near Warm Springs on Wednesday morn ing by which Engineer Paiisb and Fireman Whitley lost their lives is still a subject of sad consideration by all. At the point ot t lie accident tall and very precipitous moun tains shut in closely, confining the river to very narrow limits and reducing it from 150 to 60 leet in width. The river makes a -hort curve at this point, and it is skirted by the track of the railroad, which crosses at its narrowest and deepest point, then winds with the river around the promon tory of the mountain just before it enters the opening above the springs. Just above this opening the river widens out, and it was near the point of widening, that the accident occurred. The train was running slowly, at the rate required when within the yards of a station, and was rounding the bluff,Jwhen the engine struck a large boulder which had just fallen Uxn the track, and the engine was upon it before it could be seen, and striking it, was thrown off the track, which being immediately above the water, necessarily fell direct to the bottom in twenty foot water. The engine was en tirely buried in the water, and but a very few inches of the tenercould be seen. Two empty box cars' also went into the water, and another Imx car loaded with Durham-tolwicco and cigarettes, but this wasrefuoved without damaee. The boulder have fallen but a very short time before the accident; the Tennessee train hi:d but a very few moments before past the point coming up to and going from the water tank, and tbe track walker had passed over it after the Tenuessee train had passed. Supt. McBee with other officers, and a large force repaired promptly to the scene of the accident, and proceeded at once to work, endeavoring to recover the bodies of the unfortunate victims. Mr. Par ish, the engineer, was a young unmarried man, from Lvnchburg, where his parents now reside. lc is spoken of in the highest terms by the officers of the road. Mr. "Whit ley was quite a young man, son of Mr. D. H. Whitley, of Old Fort, and was a young man or most exemplar? character ami promising habits. Owing to the severe afflic tion with which his father has been suffering for some time young Whitley was, to a great extent, the mam dependence of the family. All have the deepest sympathy of the public in their sad distress, so shock ingly afflicted. Aehetille Citizen, I-AT KB BECOVERY OF ONE BODY. We are glad to announce that the body of the engineer has been recovered from the French Broad river at the wreck near Warm Springs. He was found yesterday afternoon in the engine at the bottom of the river, and notwithstanding he had been in the water about 4 days, his body was well preserved and looked perfectly natural. He was placed in a very costly metallic case, and, Jn -charge of his brotherj was sent to his home in Lynchburg bv yesterday afternoon's train. He could not be reached until after the tender was moved from off the engine, and his body was found to be severely bruised in sev eral places. A force ot hands, together with the wrecking train from the E. T., Va. & Ga. Road, have been very busy endeavoring to clear op the wreck ; but they have to work under so many disadvantages that the pro gress nas been very slow. A temporary track was laid running to the water's edge, and the wrecked train is raised by derricks trom the water and pulled out on this track. The box cars have been taken out except one which floated some distance down the river. The tender was taken out late yes terday afternoon, and work will be con tinued in getting out the engine. It is hoped that the body of young Whitley will be recovered when tbe engine is moved. -lb. But He Won't Die. Should the President die today or be disabled there would be no successor to his office under the constitution. There is no President of the Senate, that body Lmust having tailed to elect a iTesident pro tern, as usual because of the fact that Mr. Hendricks remained in the chair until the end of the special session, and there is no Speaker of the House, the latter being not a continuing body as the Senate and its Speaker therefore not an officer who holds over. The machinery of tho gov ernment however would be carried on bv the Cabinet until a President of the Sen ate or a Speaker were elected, as it was during the disability of President Gar field. In case of the death, removal resig- ! ' J -jjf. ilifei 1 ' Zfc nation or inability of both the President and the Vice-President there is a consti tutional provision to the effect that "the President of the Senate, or, if there is none, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives for the time being, shall act as President until the disability is re moved or a President elected." If the vacancy occurs two months before the I first Wednesday in December, the elec tion is held within thirty-four days pre ceding the day named and the electoral college meets on that day. If two months do not intervene between the occurrence Of the vacancy and the date mentioned, the election is held the year next follow ing, provided the regular presidential term does not expire the preceding 4th of March. It is therefore possible tor the President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House to hold the Presidency for a year and nearly two months. News and Observer. A VALUABLE MEDICAL TREATISE.
