Washington Letter.
From our regular correspondent.)
. Washington, Jan. 5, 1890.
Vice President Mortou has shied his
castor into the Presidential ring with
a confidence that has caused a mixture
of amusement and consternation
among the other republican aspirants
for the nomination. Mr. Morton's
campaign began with the grand New
Year's reception at his residence here,
which is a veritable palace, and is to
be kept up by the most lavish hospitality-he
believes with the late Sam
Ward that one of 5 the best way to
control men is through their stomachs.
His big apartment house here is also
to be made to help along bis aspira
tions, and any impecunious, but influ
ential politician may be certain of liv
ing, like a king without being bothered
With such vulgar things as bills, if he
will only pledge his influence to broth
er Levi, if he is influential enough
he may even get the Vice President's
magic initials on one corner of his
promissory note for three figures,
which a trip to New York will turn
into ready cash. It will readily be
seen that Mr. Morton will be a formid
able candidate for the nomination with
the large class that are always on the
make. It is said that Mr. Blaine is
very much pleased at Mr. Morton's
"coming out ' as he hoi.es it will draw
the attention of the public away from.
the prematurely exposed limine boom,
and that he has not the slightest fear
of the banker-politician as a rival.
The new number of the Supreme
Court, Justice Brewer was to-day sworn
in by Chief Justice Fuller. In ap
pearance he compares favorably with
his colleagues, but his new silk gown
caused him to walk kinder awkwardly
when he came into the court room
but wearing a gown always has that
effect on a man until he gets used to it
Iu fact more than one of Mr. Justice
Brewer's colleagues have never gotten
to wearing the gown, they still strut
in and out -of the court room like the
atrical "supes" in Roman togas.
A man and his wife, claiming to be
British subjects, have preseated a peti
tion to Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British minister, reciting the curious
fact that they have been shot and beat
en by white citizens of North Caro
lina because they persisted in preaching
to, and teaching .the negroes of the
State. Sir Julian is now investigating
their story.
The "big head" is growing instead
of diminishing among the members
of the present administration. It
would seem that the acme of absurdity
had been reached when the chief of
the departmental bureau sends a circu
lar letter to benators notifying them
that they would be admitted to his of
fice'only between 12 and 2 o'clock
daily. Such a letter was recent lv sent,
and has been the cause of senatorial
indignation.
Gen. Rosecrans, Register of the
Treasury, will soen go. Already the
position has been tendered to f -Con

District of Columbia, or nothing.
Prosperity of the South.
No one can carefully study the re
markable combination of resources
which the South enjoys without being
convinced that, in natural advantages,
this section stands far ahead of any
other country in the world; and with
the rapid progress now being made in
the development of all these resources,
the South is entering upon a period of
prosperity greater than any part of
this country has ever yet enjoyed.
lhe conditions for this are far more
favorable than in the West during the
period of this most rapid growth of
that region, and this prosperity being
free from fictitious inflation will be
permanent.
.
In 1880 the total amount of capital
invested in manufactures in the United
States was $2,700,000. If we could
conceive of some, disaster that would
have entirely- blotted out every man
ufacturing enterprise in the whole
country in 1880, and every dollar in
vested in them, the aggregate destruct
iowvf property would have been onlv
about half as great as the losses en
tailed upon the South by the war. It
is impossible to comprehend what it
would mean, if at one blow every
manufacturing enterprise in this coun
try were wiped out of existence, and
yet the suffering and poverty which
would xoilow such a disaster would
hardly be' equal to what the South had
to face when it laid down its arms in
1805. These facts are mentioned that
the South may receive the greater
credit for the amazing progress
which has been made in the hist few
years.
So rapid has been the industrial ad
vancement of that section during the
last eight or nine years, and more es
pecially during the last four, that the
business world is nowseekinsr informa-
tion about every place of Southern
growth, and of the South's resources.
Capitalists in Europe and America are
looking to the south as the held of
investment; manufactures of iron, cot
ton and lumber, realizing that the
South is destined to control all of these
and allied industries, are directing their
attention to this section. The cry is no
longer "tio West,77 but "(jo South,
young man," and for the purpose of
presenting a general view of what has
actually been accomplished, and not
simply projected or talked of, this
condensed summary 4ias been com
piled. Its only aim is to make plain
by figures what has been done, and in
connection therewith to give a few
statements that will carry weight be
cause ihey are from the highest auth
orities, to show what are, the possibili
ties of the bouth -Manufactures lit
cord.
A Sad SeqnL
W. H. Pace, Esq., returned to the
city from a hurried visit to Mobile on
Sunday, and meeting him yesterday he
told us a sad story, one of those sad
stories of real life that sometimes find
their counterpart in fiction.
On Sunday morning after leaving
Greensboro the conductor mentioned to
him that he had a painful duty to per
formto putff the train two girls
who had no tickets, who were in desti
tute circumstances, and whose situa
tion appealed to all his feelings. The
girls were entirely penniless, and were
on their way to Selma. Mr. Pace had
read an account of them in an Atlanta
paper, and he offered to arrange about
the tare of the larger girl, while the
smaller one was apparently under the
age when a ticket is demanded. Turn
ing then to the other gentlemen Mr.
Pace stated the circumstances, and a
little purse was made up for the girls,
more than sumcient to pay the fare.
The elder girl told Mr. Pace she was
Patsey Cook, the daughter of Isaac
Cook, who formerly lived near Golds-
boro; that in November last sixty-five
whites, including her father's family,
had left Johnston and Wayne coun
ties for Woodruff county, Arkansas.
Soon after arriving there her fa
ther and mother died, and a consider-
ble proportion of the others took sick
and many died. The settlement en
tirely broke up, most of the people left,
in destitute circumstances, hoping to
reach their old homes in North Caro
lina. These girls and two brothers,
bereft of both parents, strangers in a
strange land, started on foot to come
back to Johnston county. Their jour
ney was full of distress affd very pain
ful. After reaching some town in
Georgia, tickets were given the two
girls to Atlanta, and there the Mayor
kindly procured them tickets to Greens
boro. And now they were en route for
Johnston county. They had gone
through very severe trials during their
long journey. The boys are still walk
ing. Of all who went to Arkansas of
this party onlv the family of Joe Boon
remains there. What distress has be
fallen those people who so improvi
dently abandoned their old homes and
located in a sickly region at the in
stance of some heartless agent of a
railroad! lhe railroads there want
the lands along their line settled up
ana they allure our people to their
deafh to build up that sickly region,
We hope these girls have friends who
will care for them, and comfort them
in their bereavement and relieve their
necessities and provide them against
want. A eivs-Observer.
Lightning and Forests.
It is well known that as a country
becomes denuded of its foiests, droughts
prevail in proportion; and that rain
storms, when they do come, are far
more destructive to property. It now
appears from a statistical report pub
lished in the Ulectric Review, that the
destruction of property and life by
lightning is also much more frequent
in a country after the forests-have been
cut away.
The simple remedy for these evils is
in the hands of the people. They have
only to plant trees on their uncultiva
ted grounds and so keep up the forests
But tree-planting can be made profit
able in other ways by a proper solution
of the kind of trees, giving preference
to those fit for useful timber and of
quick growth. It should be remem
bered that the laws of nature are as
fixed as the eternal hills, and if man
fails to observe and obey those laws the
penalty for disobedience will in due
time overtake him, and he will be
obliged to pay it.
Death of a Prominent Citizen of Fay-
euevme.
A telegram from Fayetteville an
nounces the death in that place last
Sunday at 1 a. nr., of Mr. Afred A.
McKethan, one of the most prominent
citizens, in the 80th vear of his age.
He was the founder of the McKethan
Carriage Factory, for years the largest
in tne south and Known all over the
country. He was Chairman of the
Board of County Commissioners, Pres
ident of the Fayetteville and Florence
Railroad Company, a director of the
Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Rail
road Company, Mayor of the city, and
in his long vears of usefulness held
many othpr positions of trust and hon
or, being a man of 'prominence, abun
dant charity and great public spirit.
The telegram states that a town
meeting was held yesterdav, at which
Col. Charles Haigh presided. Stores
were closed and bells tolled d wring the
funeral which took place at half-past
three o clock in the afternoon, lhe
funeral was one of the largest and
most impressive ever held in Fayette
ville.
The British Minister at Washington
has received petitions for redress from
a person calling himself Rev. T. M.
Joiner, who claims that he is a British
subject and that both he and his wife
have received injuries at the hands of
a mob at Holly Springs, N. C. He
tells a most pitiable tale how, because he
was preaching to negroes, he was or
dered to leave, and assaulted at his
home by a mob who shot him and his
wife, besides knocking down and han
dling them very roughly. Thin would
be very shameful were it true, but the
News and Observer has taken the
trouble to investigate the occurrence,
and nnds that no such personever lived
or was ever known in that place. In
all probability the Ohioans, during the
next presidential compaign, will have it
rehearsed to them by ror:.ker, Sherman
and others.
Raising the Snov Blockade.
One of the greatest snow blockades
ever known on the Sierra Nevada
Mountains has been raised by the
railroad company's force and rotary
snow plough. The plough left Blue
Cannon Saturday evening, where it
had been stalled for twentv four hours.
and proceeded toward Colfax, Cal7
from r migrant Gap the West bound
overland trains were able to follow on
behind the plough to Colfax, and from
the latter point the plough will return
and clear the tract to Cascade which
will free the snow-bound train lying at
Summit.
The season is not only out of joint on
the Atlantic coast,, but equally bo on the
Pacific. The rains have been phenome
nally heavy, producing floods overflow
ing the banks of rivers, submerging rail-roadsr-and
suspending travel. The San
ta Fe road has given notico that trains
could not run over it for a week to come
and other lines are equally interrupted.
