N.C.: ' . Dear Sir : Tie Star -of the 21st of October, after .crossing the Atlantic twice, reached nie three days ago; and, as usual, was closely searched for the news from rsorth Uarohna. Your trtiele headed "The Palace" beginning. is .it did, with my name soon attracted my attention, and, after reading it closely, I determined I to ask you to hear m on the subiect. What I may say will not be siid inja desire to pro voke controversy but io correct what seems to me to be a wrong impression that is being made on the public and which may do harm if allowed to accu mulate error, as t likely will, by the ime the campaign of oextyeax..is in full blast. ior do I -write to relieve dimensions and style of the prorosed home for the Governors of North Car olina. 1 do not process to love mv State better thaa other! people, but I do claim to have too mlicii acute pride o take part in the erection of a home for her Governors that is iiot a credit to the State and that willlnnt excite feel ings of pride in any citizen who may oehold it. Ihe house we are now erecting is to stand far one hundred years and more, and be occupied by a Governor chosen by the people of a ;re it State as his home. Had the house been pent up anc badly designed, the next few years woiuld have wit nessed new appropriations for its en largement and remodeling a thing al ways expensive and rarely ever satis factory. Completed as designed, it will always be satisfactory to those who may occupy it aiid creditable to the age in which it was built, I do not say it in a spirit of stubborness or irri tation, but because of niv conviction that I was right in what 1 did, when 1 declare to ycu that I do not regret having commenced sqcn a house; but I do regret that I was not able to titibh jt aal fr al ;thors even anj seeming rcspOasibUiiy iuih matter. ) -) "" V "' Tue public will readily see that it is impossible for me to wjite about this matter without alluding to myself, as the subject matter o your article naturally connects me with it; and 1 therefore take it that I Lmay sjeak of myself witljoqt offending good taste. If so, I will usk you tol-indulge me a little further iu matters personal. For the implied compliment in the article I beg to thank you. J do, not claim to have done the best thai; could be done, but I say that I did t ie best that I knew how to do. The Star, has the confidence of the press and the people, and what it says has it influence jii moulding public thought and public oDinion. ino one know this better than I do. I It is this reason that has in part in duced me to attempt tp correct in time the wrong and hurttul impressions which, '-I think, your 1 comments on "The Palace," as you choose tp call - it, may make. I do not wh the Demo cratic canditbite for Governor to be confronted with the statements that the ripmneratic nartv is btuldiiig m Ital- bund in g eigh a palace of jumlio proportion' to cost $100,000, mid that it will bc neceiiry sto increase tue utnrraors. salary? to $3,000, io euab e him to lice: in it j iwhen the facts as I understand. it . ..iImIw A'ltfarent nnd hpn: hava the Stnr drawn on him to prove it It will be no deience to call it uJarvis' the charge for th my seir oi any personal iponsiwni:v jx completion and part ot the old Alan ine matter for I am perfectly willing.

'o rpise te necessary fund the com mission wis authorized to setl certain vacant lots belonging to the State in the city of Raleigh. A part of these lots iwerejspld for part cash arid part time antt the proceeds of such sales amoiintedrto about $18,000. The lots sold kere only the outlying small lota; as the city of Raleigh was antagonizing the sile of : the large and more valuable lots. I The; com mission Jiad plans- of a house made, but did not commence workj, as I have always understood, be c;tus0 of the trouble about the sale of the valuable lots, and because of the further fact that the commission was divided as to the location. The Legist lature of 1879 repealed the act, and di rected the iund to be turned into the generol fund. As a fact the fund was not turned into the general fund and actually entered on the Treasurer's book rorihe reason that a large part of theTuouey had not been collected whenp the act of 18So was passed. This act instead of appointing a commis sion, ns the act of 1S70-7 did, directed the (governor and his council to build a suitable i house. Its other features were,! however, in the main like the act of 1S70-7 except it did not direct the sale of the public square in the city. It redMicated the fund raised as before stated from; the stile of the lots underH the afit of 18iG-7 and authorized the sale oi the lot known as the old Gov ernor Mansion property. It also, as did the act of 1870-7, directed the penitentiary authorities to make and furnish everything possible to be sup plied py that institution to aid in the work. Plans were draivn by one of the best ayid most experienced architects in the country. They were examined, and tlje phin of the house materially reduced in size and cost, in order to avoid jany conflict with thepeniteutiar' authorities as to what they could furnisi and as to what they could not. They, ;af ter going over the plans with the architect, undertook to build the house ifor $25,000 in addition to the work hey were required by laic to do. Up totlie timeI left the Governor elHce, S20,p00 had been paid over to the peiiitentiarj on the contract and the building was far advanced toward.4 and it';was supposed the balance would sell f of $5,0007 So the funds in sight for bujlding and furnishing the house amounted in addition to the convict work tb about 33,000, if the balance: of the! old: lot sells for $5,000. But suppose it duly brings $3,0C0, then we have ajfuiid of 30,000 -$25,0CK) for buildiilg and $5,000 for furniture. Now bear in mind that not one dollai of this! money was raised by taxation. It all qome ;f rom the sale of old vacant lots, tle most of which would never vielded oneji penny of income iu the way oi? t ixus to the State, county or, c t; pin ;e the?e lots were sold and went i(ito tlie huds of private parties, th?v hive 'd improved several Uand some rUidenecs novK stand on them and sr now yielding to tho treasury taxes gveryj year. If then the house had been cdmpletetl by the penitentiary nut'iorfty, sis wius expected, the practi cal effect of the management would have been to give the State a handsome hou e for its Governor without collect ing fro)n the people one penny of tax to jyqy r it. But one man says the Peuitejitiari' people cannot complete it except j at,- Ipss. Let us ad mi 1 1 1. My recolfeiiionfi that the' eXtefic'df - tile house jxcept the porches, and the in terior Except the door.-, stairways and inside Window blinds are completed, and probably much of the material is on hatjd fof these, I confidently be lieve tfeat alaoOl) iu addition to the S25,0j) will save the penitentiary harm less and enable its authorities to com plete tfie building without loss; but to make a safei calculation I will put it at 812,500. Of course a very large amount of 'lnorjjey njay be spent on the interior finish et: a house, but it never wits 'de signed t'j tiiiish this one otherwise than iu a neat, simple substantial manner, and finished that way my estimate is a safe one, Ihe furniture should be neat, flnrable, serviceable furniture, and furnished in this style $5,000 will buy "a lot of furniture; but ! will say it takeJ $7,500 for the furniture. It is possibly to sM?nd much money in furni ture, but it ts also true that very nice walnut chejtry, oak and the like furni ture can le bought at very reasonable prices, It is also possible to )end muchin;mey for carpets and curtains, &c, and! it id likewise possible to buy . .

I was ilhJii ; 1 "7 T T' i yu"f uovern- or house alone be selected and forty cents a day for each convict be charged of making the cost of the' building ap pear big, to inake capital for personal or party use. It was the States build ing and the States convicts, why charge the State for the one that worked on it any n.ore than the one that worked on the Supreme! Court building? It was the State House and the States con vict, and whv charge for the one that worked on the State House any more than the one that worked on the State's canals or on the roads of corporations? I repeat the demand to do so is unrea sonable, and in my opinion the people will so see it. Now a word as to the palatial ap pearance of I the bu ildi ng. According to my idea there i nothing palatial about it. It is a plain brick building, built of brick made by the eonviets at the penitentiary and trimmed with a moderate quantity of brown sand stone, dug from the soil of North Carolina. The inside is equally plain and home like, being plastered walls and ceilings. The windows are of glass and the roof of slate. Now what there is palatial in all this 1 cannot seej But it is denominated a "Jumbo" in size; well,; I do not know how big a house must be to be called a "Jumbo." This one has a , basement, two full stories and an attic. On the first are six rooms,:and they are supposed to be for the following uses : a ladies parlor, t gentleman's parlor, the Governor's public receptiou . parlor, a library, a Jargc dining room and a small dining room. Tlie parlors 0 and library will average about 20x22; the .reception parlor (to be used on public occasions if the Governor shall wish to hold a re ception during the sitting of the Legis lature or-the State fair, or like occa iion) is 21x40; the large dining room, also for public occasions, is 20x30, and I the small dining room is about 14x10. This floor is supposed to be more or less open to the public on suitable oc casions. The second floor, also, has i six rooms which is supposed to furnish the sitting rooms and chambers for the Governor an 1 his fuiiy. These rooms ;tre supplied v. x necessary conven iences for tne health and comfort of tho household. Some of the attic voomson the third floor might befitted up and occupied as sleeping rooms if a Governor has a family large enough to require it. The furniture of the build ing that makes the house appear larger when one looks at it from the street, is its unusually large hall. This hall, running all the way across the housfc is, I think, 22 feet wide. In the first plan drawn it was 2(5 feet, and in re ducing the general s,ize of the house, four feet were taken off of the width of the hall.; Had it been a ten' feet passage, as some seem to think suffi cient, it would have materially reduced the appearance of the houss as to size. Aiir one can readily see what a differ entvH would raak in the size ( f the uSitaiiaTalieHionrof "12 feet"7at of the roinde. 1 It is also, easy to see what a difference it would make in tht comfort of tba house. I considered well this feature of the house, before adopting it,; and I concluded i that in building a house that was to endure for age3, it was economy to i design and build it in a style equal Jt the demands of the future as wel) as for the present. I supposS no oue wLl say that iu the heat of summer a house y. . - .... . . with a broad airy hall is not much nnre crafortable thau one with a nar row jent up one. As the Governor is supposed to $end the most of his sum mer in Raleigh. I did ot think it un wise to make hw home ag comfortable as possible. I have thus gmejato the details of the dimensions of tlie house because to call it a jumbo leaves the public to wild conjecture and opens the way to those who wish to use it for poli tical or personal purposes to make the I al most extravagant; cnarges. " Another criticism winch I wixh to notice is the declaration that a poor man cannot live in it on the (present salary of the Governor. 1 his criticism is more a matter of opinion than of argument - It uiay be my ignorance but I really do not seo how it will be more expensive to lire iu JS big; house than in a small one when each is fur nished free. One may make living in very small house very expensive, or he miy make living in a very large-house verv vueap.

Jarvis. Female Tenacity of Life. It appears from the gathered statis tics of the world that women have a greater tenacity of life than men. Mature worships the female in all its varieties. Among insects' the male perishes at a relatively" earlier period. -1 11 plants the seminate blosHoms die earlier and are produced on the weak er limbs. Female quadrupeds have more endurance than males.- In the human race, despite, the intel!ectn.l and physical strength of man, the wo man endures longest, and will bear pain to which the strong man suc cumbs. Zymotic diseases which are 7 more fatal to inaleiyind more male chil dren die than females, Deverga as serts that the proportion dying 8i;dden- ly is about 100 women to 780 men; . 1,080 men in the United Stalfs, in '70 committed suicide, to 285 ' women.
