The resnlt of the vote having
beeu officially announced, Gover-;
nor Curtin thereupon moved that
Mr. (.arlisle's nomination be made
unanimous, which was immediate
ly done, and th chair appointed
Messrs. Randall, Cox, and Curtin;
as a committee to notify him of the
caucus's action."' Mr. Carlisle's en
trance was greeted with long con
tinuing cheering. On being es
corted to the Speaker's chair, he
spoke as follows.
Mr. Chairman and gentlemen ot
the Caucus: Your committee has
Hist notilied me oi inv unauiiiious
; lor tin. Torty.eightli Congress, and
'' I am heie to thank you very brief
; ly and very earnestly for the con
fidence yon have reposed in me.
If this had been a-mere personal
contest between me and either of
the three, distinguished gentlemen
whose names have been mentioned
in connection with this nomina
tion I should have had but little
hope of success. They are all gen
tlemen of great ability, long ex
perience, and undoubted integrity,
and I assure them and their friends
that this contest was, so far as I
am concerned-, w ithout the slight
est change in the friendly person
al relations which have heretofore
existed between us.
Gentlemen, I trust that you may
never have reason to regret your I
action this evening, and that
when the labors of the forty -eighth
Congress are closed you may be
able to congratulate yourselves that
no material interest of your par
ty or your country has been in
juriously affected by my 'adminis
tration of the office for wbich you
have nominated ine. In fact, I
may go a step further, and venture
to-express the confident hope'that
every interest will be advanced
and promoted by the united effort
of the presiding officer and the
Democratic majority on the floor.
Such a result will insure victory
in the great contest yet to come
and guarantee a long line of Dem
ocratic executives with an honest,
economical and constitutional ad
ministration of our public affairs.
But, sir, you have yet much other
labor to perform, and again, thank
ing you for what you have al
ready done, I shall say nomore.
Mr. Randall then' addressed the
t he caucus. He said:
A majority of the Democratic
Representatives of the .forty
eighth Congress has seen fit to
designate the distinguished- gen
tleman from Kentucky for the ex
alted position of speaker. His ad
ministratioif shall have my firm,
fixed and honorable support. To
my friends, the minority, , who 'nay
be disppointed at this result, 1 ten
der my gratitude lor their support,
which w as actuated by a noble
disinterested fiiendship based on
the highest consideration of duty,
as they believed, both to their par
ty and to their country. I bow to
the decision of a majority of my
colleagues. The duty imposed
upon inc. by my constituents will
be performed with earnest zeal for
their interest, for the triumph of
my' party, and the real .prosperity,
of my country. If in the future
there be any service I can render
that will fend to those ends it will
be performed with cheerfulness
that no other citizen can excel. Ap
plause. Mi. Cox, of New York, then took,
the floor and said: ! j
"I tender my acknowledgements
to the gentlemen who have given
me their Confidence, and especial
ly to the sixteen gentlemen", from
tl e State of New York, and I
have to say that I am relieved from
the responsibility whtch possibly,
might have fallen upon my frail
shoulders. I sympathize with the
distinguished gentleman from Ken
tucky who is to bear the burdens of
j the great office of Speaker. In so
tar as l can assist mm in any way
he will find me ready as a coad ju
tor of the distinguished gentleman
from Pennsylvania. The future of
our party depeuds largely upon its
action on fiscal questions. They

of the republic. While thanking!

the discharge of the duties with a
serious distrust of my capacity to
meet in an acceptable manner the
requirements of this office. I prom
ise you, however, to devote to your
service all the zeal and ability of
which I am possessed. Gentle
men, the maintenance of order on
the floor is essential, absolutely es
sont'al to the intelligent and syste
matic transaction of public business
and I earnestly invoke your assist
ance in the enforcement of the rules
adopted for the government of" our
proceedings. The large addition
to the membership of" this House,
resultir.g from the late apportion
ment of representatives, makes this
duty even more difficult than it has
been before and with nit your cor-
dial co-operation and support I can-;
not reasonably hope even to
dis
charge the ordinary" daily, duties ot
this office. That you w ill cheerful
ly co-operate'" with me in every
proper efh rt to preserve order and
to faciliate the business of legisla
tion I have no doubt. But, gentle
men, I shall ask something more of
yon than mere co-operation iu the
discharge of my duty. Assuring
you of my earnest desire at all times
to be just and impartialj still I can
not hope to avoid mistakes and
shall be compelled therefore, fre
quently no doubt, to rely on the
friendly forbearance of gentlemen
on both sides of the House. I am
sure, gentlemen, that all matters of
legislation presented during this
Congress will receive from you
such carefuj 'consideration as the
magnitude and character of t he in
terests involved require, and that
your action upon them will bo wise,
conservative and 'patriotic. Sud
den and radical changes in the
laws and regulations affect. tig the
commercial and 'industrial interests
of the "people ought never to be
made unless imperatively demand
ed by some public emergency, and
in my opinion, under the existing
circumstances such changes would
not be favorably received by any
considerable number of those who
have given serious atleniion to (lie
subject. -(Applause.) Many re
forms are undoubtedly ' necessary,
and it will he your duly after a
careful examination of the " whole
subject in all its . bearings to
decide how far they, should extend
and when ai.d in what; manner they
should be made. .(Applause.) If
there be any who fear that vour
action on this or any other subject
will actually be injurious to any in
terest, or even afford a reasonable
cause for alarm. I am quite sure
that they will be agreeabh disap

ter with Italy, and tuat the wild
olive, palmetto, magnolia, and all
plants of the tropics cau be grown
in this warm area. Some of the
planters'of this section have al
ready given the culture of sugar
cane a trial with the best results.
R. 31. Middleton, of Warsaw, says
that by improving upland he made
last y . ar 2,250 pounds of sugar and
120 gallons of molasses to the acre.
He thinks oranges could be grown
successfully' in this sugar belt.
Win. Black, of Rock Pish, on up
land, by extreme fertilizing, has
for the 'past eight years made from
looO to 100 gallons of molasses.
Col. T. 0. Mcllhenny of New
Han ver, ou the fork farm, grew
sugar cane from 185G to 1C)2 that
ripened from (J to 7 feet-
Judge A. A. McKoy, of
son, ascertained last fall that
the
sugar cane grown around Clinton
rineued from 0 to 7 feet this from
actual measurement. The assuin
ed sugar belt contains 7,440 square
miles of territory, in which the su
gar cane grows and where semi
tropical plants are found.
Mr. A. 1). Johnson, of Kenans
ville raised sugar cane., some of his
hills producing 15 matured stalks
to the hill.
Mr. Christopher Teach. , of Dup
lin, raised sugar cane, and made i
good yield on lowground, where it
w as too wet to plant coin.
We have not the figures -Ijy us
now, but our young friend Geo. W.
Killebrew, who is not in the sugar
belt, made quite a quantity of syr
up this year. We well remember
that he told us that raising sugar
cane paid him much better than
cotton. The time will come when
the people of New Hanover, Samp
son, Duplin, and others iu the su
gar belt will make the raising of
sugar cane their principal product,
and leave the making of cotton to
other sections.

As there is much complaint about
disease among hogs we give the
advice of the "Drovers' Journal" as
to how to keep them healthy. It
says :
Keep vour hogs in good, clean
fields: give them access to pure
water, even though you should be
compelled to dig a deep well for
that purposi -a good pump and a
plenty of suitable troughs, cleansed
every week, will cost but little, and
will always prove a valuable outlay.
Provide, also, in the dryes; part of
the field, a good shelter both from
sum and rain. A few rails wooer-
, alTanjreii lwoor thm; foet f,om
the ground, covered with a stack
of straw or coarse prairie grass,
will be an attractive place for the
entire drove. In troughs near by
their resting places, two or three
times each week, plaice a composi-

A Cow that Browses on Nails.
Dr. M. B. Pitt, or .Old Sparta, in
Edgecombe county, killed' a ten
year old cow last week that he had
i fattened for beef. When opening
the stomach to procure the tripe he
found sixty-five nails firmly tixed
in the honey -comb like cells. They
were worn thin, and - sharpened
down to one-third of their original
size by the action of the gastric
juices or by friction with the rough
food. Dr Pitt" thinks that the nails
must have been swallowed with
hay years ago. He raised the cow
and says she was always a healthy
animal. Perhaps the nails took
the place of Iron Bitteis and impar
ted -appetite and health. At all
events, in this particular case it is
evident that nails in the stomach
were not nails in the coffin. Re

would canter away down to the bass

Naked Tmih.
The following is said to be the ori
gin of the expression -naked truth."
"According to an old fable, truth
dressed in robes of pniity and in
nocence, met falsehobd near a beau
tiful lake. Falsehood induced truth
to go into the lake alone Uj bath,
and when truth had swanjout a
considerable distance from the shore
falsehood hurried back, dressed in
the garments of truth and fled.
Truth hastened to the shorey but
falsehood wasjiowhere to be found
Naked truth has ever since lieeu

The writer of this art icle spent
some time in Salt '.Lake' City last
August, and apart of the time was
the guest of 'Gov. Mhrrav.the ,ues-
. , . , 1
ent Governor ot the Territory of

itor of the daily Salt Lake "Trib
uhe" the organ of the gentiles in
that portion oi .'the country lying
between the Rocky and Sierra
Nevada Mountains. ' ami. between
the .'8fh and 44th parads of North
latitude. It is popularly supposed
that Mormonism is confined to the
Territory of Ptah, but such is not
- - j
the fact. It is true it'wa original
ly located west of the Rocky Moun
tains, at w hat is now Salt Lake
Citj, but it has spread over con
Mueiao.e po.uou o. t vanning a,m

be extending .further and

each year.
We are not an' apologist
Mormonism, but theieure few poj
ular errors w hich we
correct, but before 'we
would like to
woiuu iiwt to
1 " " ' '
desire to state that our ideas are
derived entirely from contact from
the Mormons themselves and their
gentile fellow citizens of Salt Lake
City. While we remained there o .r
eyes were wide open and our hear
ing was good.
First: The Eastern idea of Mor
monism' is that eveiy follower of
Brigham Y"on:ig ' nuisf have half
dozen wives. The very reverse is
true. Possibly not .one married
man in filly has more than one
wife. A"secoud w ife (tan only be
married upon the consent of the

, ,. . . , 'iii- Mormon religion at his own ex-
belore certain rulers and elders in ; ,,r .. .,, t, ..

the church and make an affidavit ' his situation, and he left a eompe
that lie is abie to take care of the , tency, l.nt he obeyed the edict of

"returns" are satisfactory, the new fashioned by Brigham Young,
wife is brought into the ' femi.le."
and in the (ireseiice of a large con
gregation she is "sealed" to the
man of her choice.
Second: The Mormon women are
to blame, if blame there be. for
polygaini. In' order. to ' crush out
polygamy the wiseacres of Con
gross passed a law which gave, the
women of Ptah the right ol suff
rage. Piider its provisions' the
women vote there in all elections
Wha t-is tin: result f At the very
fiist election, (with eVt i v Mormon
disfranchised who was known to
have moie than one wife under the
'.same law that .conferred the- right
of snlfrage upon the women) poIv.
g.m.y found itself entrenched
stronger than ever before, and
that by the vote of the - .'Mormon
women .'themselves.' 'fhe frameis
and alvocares of the lOdinunds bill
calculated nil a very different -re'

Polygamy, which has
bee.n aptly styled as our
grat -

l "National sin," has much I.
