C, A Son's Revenge. Some time ago it will be remembered that this paper contained an account of a deliberate assassinatloii in the suburbs of Clinton, Sampson county. It now appears that the deed was com mitted by a. fifteen year old son of the deceased. The State Chronicle has the particulars as follows ; (in the 12th inst.,, about 1 o'clock p. m., Edward N. Butler, a well known citizen of Clinton, was shot from am bush, and on the 14th he died. He was shot within a Tiundred yards of his home. Tlie assassin was behind some small bushes by the side of the road, and was only forty-five feet distant whence fired. The gun was loaded with a slug cut from an iron rod, and this entered t he body and smashed the spine. When Butler was shot he called for help loudly. His wife heard the cry of distress, and went to his assistance. She summoned help and Butler was carried home. He lived forty-eight hours after lie was shot, and while dying he stated that he believed he had been'shot by a man named Simmons. He did not say he saw the mur derer and could not state positively by whom heliad been shot. An examina tion of the locality was made and it was found where the assasin had stood. Some shavings told that the murderer had been deliberately waiting for his victim and had whiled away the time by whittling a stick. Not long after Butler had been car ried home his fifteen year old son came in bringing a gun which he said he had found where his father was shot. He stayed around home a short time and then disappeared. Butler's wound had l)een probed, and the iron slug, about one and three-quarter inches long, which caused his death, was taken out and preserved A blacksmith of the place, while stopping at the murdered man's house, saw the slug and at once told something that startled the com munity and led to the arrest of the criminal. He said that a short time before Avery Butler, the son of the mur dered man, hail come to his shoo and asked him to cut that slug oil a rod of iron. While the blacksmith was cut ting it Avery asked him if it would kill a man if tired from a gnu. The smith told him it surely would. The revelation of this fact caused a seareh to be made for Avery, and he was captured last Saturday about eight miles from home. When captured he confessed to the murder and told he committed it. why i i Some time previous he had assisted one of his sisters to run away with and marry a man to whom her father ob jected. Tlie father (Butler) was sick in bed at the time, but he learned of Avery's connivance in the matter, and told him when he got well he would give him a sound thrashing. mi e e t i i lrue to Ins word, when 15 utter re covered from his illness he chastised Avery severely. This raised Avery's mart; 1 anger and he swore he would kilt his father. lie waited his time. procured a gun and the slug referred to. He loaded Hie gun and took a position near the road by which he knew his father would return from the house to a field where he was at work. When his father came by he fired the fatal shot. Avery is now iii jail. There were at first some fears of lynching ; but on account of the character of the father and various other circumstances, a sentiment favorable to the bov is growing up. The reason given for Butler's suppo sition that Frank Simmons had killed him is as follows : Both the men had been frequenting the house of a woman of easy character. One evening Jiut ler arrived there earlv and Simmons came up soon afterward. The woman refused to admit Simmons that evening, telling him she had company and would not turn out the company she er had. Simmons knew who the com ... mmmn .1.1,1 II. i lliiilV 1 T I I .- l Well HI fix him soon." The community in which the crime occurred is much stirred up. 1 he poor wife and mother is nearly crazed at the hand of her son. One of Butler's daughters sustained a severe nervous shock on the death of her father and is in a critical condition. She has not been informed of the fact that her brother is the murderer. Always Faithful. " North Carolinians have the proud satisfaction ii knowing that the brave soldiers from their State won the first victory of the war at Big Bethel, on the 10th of June, 1801, and fired the last volley at appomattox on the 9th of April, 18GG. The last effort made by Lee's army to break through Grant s encircling columns was the charge made at Appomat tox uy the troops commanded by Major General Bryan rimes. For a mile they orove oacK the superior numoers of the enemy, and only retired when ordered oy uen i w . t i wh0 reauz'ug the hopelessness of further efforts, had entered into nego- tiations for a surrender, number of Confederates Anoomatfox was 28,231, The total paroled at but there were barely 10,000 ettectivo men pres- Ant. fnr dntv on the morning of the surrender.

Chatham Record, The Cost of Living and a Congressman's " " Pay. The lasy drones in the House of Representatives desire to have clerks to aid them in doing nothing. They are so oppressed with ennui and burdened with excessive labors they must have a Caid clerk to relieve them. This may amlooKle the greenhorns, but it will not fool the letter-writers in Washing ton or induce the ex-member to put in a good word to help them secure the coveted prize to live in idleness and electioneer for their u bosses," North Carolina for half a century before the war was generally well rep- mum U TJ..7, mi,- J" by men who knew how to labor and were no idlers. Since the war, the ablest, most efficient representative of tK Sfnt -au i:L. j c ui i mo imc, nun jivj wttrc cunespunu- no ence, have been content to do their work, and have not sought to have themselves relieved. If the members will do but half the work a bank offi cial or a journalist has to do in North Carolina they will be able to get through their duties easily every day. The bank man or journalist must work on about one-fourth pay, or less, than the Representatives receive. But to another question in this con nection. Is the pay of a member of Congress too small ? If so, vhy are so many men anxious to leave their homes, their wives and children, to spend their time in Washington ? 1 he honor of the thing is nothing. The office confers no honor except where the favors are reciprocal. Mag nify the office if you would obtain honor from it. Among men of sense, of independence, of dignity of charac ter, a title is a baubee sounding brass. To write Hon." before a name cou- fers no honor, no character whatever. The pay of a member of Congress is $5,000 a vear. There is no " extra" salary. There $125 a year allowed for stationery, postage, etc., and mileage at the rate of 20 cents a mile. How much is necessary for a member to live in comfort in Washington, not having a family with him ? Hundreds of members many of them them the best equipped and the ablest have lived upon $1,000 easily, and have Saved $4,000. This can be done and not stint yourself in any way that is legitimate aud necessary. You can board at as good a place as Friend's, corner Uln and u streets, where sueli men as Ben Hill, Coke, Vance, Yejt, Blackburn, Mills and dozens of other leading men have lived. re i jl course a man cau spend 3du,ijuu a year in Washington it he has it and so purposes, tie can spend his $a,000 and be easily embarrassed. If he goes into the fashionable vices drinks, gambles, and fakes in all the known debaucheries of Washington life, he and his money can easily part com pany. But a sober, pure, upright, at tentive, capable member cau live on jm.uuu a year and nave a uetter living than when at home and by a great den An ex-member writes us that he- knows that a man can live in Wash ington on $100 a month and live more luxuriously than any man in North Carolina lives even much more so It is a mistake then to conclude that a man cannot live in the "ransor i it i i America" without a great salary and a cleric, ine lact is, it he is really i mi a. o i ii over-worked he has salary enough to employ aid all the time or now and then, lhere is an error in the minds of some as to ftie cost of living and the value of Representatives. Thev get all the pay they are worth, and many of them are paid far too high according to their abilities and usetu ness. al any rare, inose wno are uis i i ii I gusted with the triuing 5o,uuu might decline to be their own successors and give others a chance at high living in the federal Metropolis. Wilmington Messenger Stands Confessed. The St. Louis organ of the adminis tration made this confession of Iraud vesterday in its editorial on silver: Secretary Windom, too, who would natural v be supposed to be in harm ony with the President in thisparticu lar, was and is an outspoken and reso lute opponent of free coinage. Mr. Windom of course, and presumably with the approval of the President, has prepared a Din wnicn woum mrgeiy increase the volume of the silver cur rency-, but the primary design in pre- nan nor this measure was to antagonize f 1 A- J. Z and defeat the free coinage scheme. 4uThe primary design of the admin istration bill alleged to be in favor of silver" as no one ever doubted, but it is rather surprising for theconfiden tial organ of the becretary of the In terior to assert the fraudulent purpose so boldly. Let the Democrats push the . a a a 1 free coinage bill against the adminis- tration fraud. One Girl Stabs Another. Rosetta Lanta, nineteen years of age, was severely stabbed at the corner of Houston street and the Bowery, in New York, last week, by Masuzzah Durratta, a girl of eighteen. The girls quarreled over the affec tions of an Italian barber, named Carlo Pompanello, who deserted the Durrat- ta sirl for Ilosetta Lanta, who is now in St. Vincent's Hospital. Masuzzah Durratta was held in the tombs Police Court to await the result of the injuries infjicted upon her rival. The Great Flood. An idea of what the people of the Mississippi have been p issing maybe had by a glance at conditions there last week. The following was given to the press, as of April 23d. The flood situation here has changed rapidly for the worse during the last twenty-four hours, and the condition of affairs was never gloomier or more threatening than at present, For the last three days the crest of the great wave hi uie juississippi uas been pass ing at Vicksbnrg down. The most ex traordinary efforts were made to hold acw again si, uie Illgll water. A i .... .L 11 L I L A large sum was raised here by subscrip tion ior tn is purpose. A levee relief boat was sent to the scene of dsin- tr i. i S1 wnu supplies, material aud men u d;.,,. (, upee and West Baton. Rouge 8,000 men have been at work several days strengthening the levees, and between here and Bayou Sara probably 20,000 men have been tiying to hold the line of dykes. lhe federal (iovernment through the Secretarv of War gave liberallv toward the maintenance and support of the Pointe Counee levees, and Maior Kingman, United5 States engineer, in charge of this district, was stationed at Morgansea, the largest and most im portant levee in the Mississippi valley. The rain and wind storm which came on yesterday, coupled with the high water, were two much for these prep arations, and in the last twenty-four hours no less than fifteen breaks have occurred. The first was at Bayou S ira, a town of 1,000 people. 160 miies above here. The whole population had been work? ing for weeks on the levees, but the Mississppi wast oo much and swept them away. 1 he water rose over the hrst floors of the stores and houses, put a stop to all business, and compelled an abandonment of the town by a greater part of the population. An ugly break followed at Myrtle Grove plantation, forty miles below the city, on the plantation ot Con gressman Wilkinon, and one that it is scarcely possible to close. Since then news of a new cre ate in every hour or so. A number of other breaks but of smaller extent, are reported at St. Sophie, Jesuit's Bond, and Pointe- a-ta-tiuche. iesterdiv morntug a crevasse occurred at the Martinez place, ten miles below to which relief was at it is not thought the Baton Rouge, once sent, but break can be closed. But the greatest disaster occurred later yesterday, when the Morgansea levee gave way. lhisuews naturally caused the greatest constination. be cause Morgansea protects a large por- tion ot Southern Louisiana. It is one of the finest levees on the Mississippi, with a 200-foot base and from fifteen to thirty feet high, constructed jointly by the United States and the State of Louisiana. It cast nearly 520,000. So important a point was it that Muj. Ivinguiun, in command of this district, . . i was sent there to watch the levees himself, and $20,000 was given to its maintenance and defence by the Secre tary of VV ar. Horse Power Journalism.

The eutire foreign element in the party were opposed to returning to Washington, and were not at all pleas ed with Mr. Blaine for recalling them.

Mr. Draper reached here this evening. ut the Pan-Americans say they cannot go South in view of the uttterartces of the Constitution, which, among other lungs, says that "the crowd from Washington on the Southern Pan- American tour is made up merely of he private clerks and valets of the delegates, and that thi-ir failure to come stives the people here some em barrassment. 1 he same journal cen sures Secretary Blaine for the origual ograuime when the delegates were really in the party.

Springfield Republican : Thedispo- sition of the Democratic press to make much of the string of Democratic mu nicipal victories this spring is not without some basis in fact, although it should be remembered that the Demo- ..I i 1 a a I cracy is apt to be strong politically in the center of population. A review of the recent election indicates a local drift quite unparalleled in recent years The slide began in the first week of March, when 11 out of 13 cities in New York chose Democratic mayors. At the same time five out of seven cities in Iowa did likewise, while Saginaw in Michigan heralded an almost unexpect- eu success in tne l - i I Michigan elections last week, when Grand ltapids, for instance, increased the Democratic plurality of 12 one year ago to of 200 The more recent Democratic successes the past. week are a familiar storv.

Progressive Farmer, Near the town of C. in the State of Ohio, lives old Deacon Smith and his wife Betsy on a fifty acre farm. It was a great grief to them when their only child went to the city to work, but the lands were too poor to support all three, and Johnlwa3seat Thanks giving dinner at home. Last June when the deacon sheared his pet ram he put by the twelve pounds of fleece thinking to buy John a suit of clothes. A little later n wool-buyer from Massa chusetts purchased the fleece, making a deduction of one-third, however, for grease, so that the deacon only received $2.40 for his wool. The wool-buyer took his purchase home with him, and adding two pounds of cotton at 8 cents per pound, for lining and wadding, he had the raw material for. a complete suit of clothes into which it was ac cordingly made, and in autum return ed in its new form to the clothing store at C. The day after Thanksgiving the dea con and John started for the town, taking with them the farm produce, for which the following prices were obtained : 25 bushels oats at21c. 7 bushels wheat at 78c. 05 lbs. beef hide at 2c. 140 lbs. quarter beef at 5c, 3 dozen eggs at 13c. 5 lbs. butter at lie. $5.25 5.40 1.30 7.00 .30 .70 Adding to this the $2.40 he had got for the fleece, and carefully saved, the deacon walked into the clothing store with $22.50 in his pocketbook, enough, he imagined to buy a suit of clothes and pay his taxes. But clothing was higher than he thought. The price of au inported suit was the amount con tained in his pocketbook, and a similar grade of American goods cost exactly the same. " It is the duty that makes goods so high," remarked the clothier. " But Mr. McKiuley told us last fall that the consumer did not pay the duty," objected the deacon. The store keeper smiled and the deacon bought the suit, planning to pay his half-yearly tax of $17.50 by cutting thirty-five cords of wood. So that all the old man and Betsy have to winter on is McKinley's speeches, and there was more heat in them just before election than is to be found in mid-winter. me mon tana senatorsLips. Baltimore Sun. The United States Senate by a strict party vote, admitted to seats Messrs. Powers and Saunders, the Re publican claimants for the Montana senatorships. This was done despite the unanswerable arguments presented during the pendency of this case by leading Democratic Senators against the legality of the credentials which these claimants presented, Indeed, it is a remarkable fact that, so far is the argument in the Senate was concerned, Messrs. Powers and Saunders received but a half-hearted support from the Re publican Senators taking part in the debate, tut when the vote on admis sion came the Republicans voted solid ly for the Republican claimants: The whole question of the Montana sena- torship turned on the validity of the votes cast at precinct 34 in Silver Bow county. If those votes were legally . . ii . T . a cast it would give the Democrats a majority in the Montana Legislature and elect two Democrats to the Uuited States Senate. The refusal of the Republicans to recognize the vote of precinct d split the Legislature in two wings, neither of which had a ma jority of the members, but the Repub- I icans tormed a quorum tor business : a n i r bv admitting the Republican delegates from Silver bow county, who would have been defeated if the vote of pre einct 34 had not been thrown out. Democrats olso formed a quorum by seating the Democaatic members from the Silver Bow county on the strength ot the vote or precinct 6i.

Weeds in garden beds or drills shoal always be destroyed before they reach the ground. 1 hey are often allowed a a i to grow several inches high, aud not unfrequeutly a foot or more, and to ripen their seed. Those who arc will ing to to take the trouble, will find it ciuite interesting to try the different modes, nothing the time accurately and observing the contrast. fake for example, a full sized onion bed; be- fore any or the weeds have made their appearance, run a fine steel rake over all the surface between the rows in one half the bed: in a week, whether there aa ' i 1 II 111 are weeds cr not, go over it Again, and so on through the season, once a week. On the other half, wait a mouth untiil the weeds are six inches high, aud then hoe and pull them out by hand. Many small ones will escape, and in a week or two will be as high as any of their predecessors; t at th s the same v ' a I la 1 way. ISow, it p u nave Kept a reco a by the watch, of the time consumed on the two parts of the bed, you will find a a . a a that the weekly dressing, although so much oftener, has4aken several times less work than the hoeing and hand I weeding, and the crop iu the constant- I ly mellow ground has far outgrown I the other, ine result uas ocen proven by actual experiment. .... . . . g The Bounty Business. A bounty on sugar, silk or anything else is a rascally imposition on the people. All the industries in this tuuniry, oi course, wouio HKe to re ceive bounties1 and thousands of them need bounties, but that is no reason why the government should pay them. Least of all is it a reason why Congress should vote bounties for two public industries and not vote them to 2,000 others just as feeble. Jf govern ment is to go int the bounty business at all it should at least deal out boun ties impartially to all the interests that need them. - . But if the government is bent on assisting a few industries at Jhe ex pense of all the rest, it must be admit ted that the method of assisting them by bounties is far preferable to assist ing them by a protective tariff. When a bounty of $5,000. But when a tariff is laid on imports it order that that same industry may s raise its prices $5,000, the people ae plundered of perhaps $5,000,000 trikt the protected industry may realize 5,000. By the bounty system, therefore, the people not only lose less, but are able to tell exactly how much they lose, There is nothing so ruinous to a country as tax ation by stealth. these bounties will also do good bv educating the peoide. Comparisons will everywhere be instituted between counties and the tariff, and when it is seen that the tariff is even more ini quitous than bounties, and that both confer gratuities upon favored classes, he conclusion drawn must be a salu tary one. In this view, we say let the bounties be pulled on. The New York World is a newspa per that sends out reporters to do dirty work, and promptly deserts them when detected. It accuses steamship cap tains of leaving passengers on wrecked vessels to their fate when the facts show lliat they have done all meu could be expected to do under the cir cumstances. It attacks public men whom it cannot use, and has no politi cal principle that is not held subordi nate to its own interests. It lias, more ban any other New York paper, so- icited patronage in the South, yet it never hesitates a say a mean thing about tlie people of this section. f by so doing it may hope to gain the favor of any influential class of north- a a i eriiers.
