I was thinking about General
Longstreet, whom the boys
called "Old Pete." What a
magnificent soldier he was too,
for he was then only forty years
old and carried himself like a
king. Hbw old and feeble he
ooka now, but he is here still

I wonder if the North and

would. ' It is no trouble at all

saw our country's nag unfurled

and it made me sad, for
could not feel that we had
much interest in it. It was to
me an emblem of power but
not of protection. The fact is
there are; times when our peo
ple are afraid of it. During
Mr. Cleveland's administration
we felt like we had some voice
in the councils of the nation
and the old flag was an emblem
of peacej and we loved it, but
we don't now. How can a
government expect to prosper
when it ' purposely provokes
the hate of one-third of its
subjects : I read , a letter to
day that was published iu
Vickaburg by the negro post-'
master at Port Gibson, in
which he says: "Heretofore

disclosed After a Bahquet'at the
Americus Club In Pittsburg. -
Special Dispatoh.to the New Fork Star.
PrrraBUBG,' April 30th. On
the occasion of the - Americus
banquet last Saturday night.
Congressman Bayne :" became
so exhilarated that he was un
able to coliect himself when he
was called upon to respond to
he toast, "The Ways and
Means," on which committee
he held such a prominent posi
tion. 3
It was also observed that the
private secretary of Postmas
tersGeneral Wansjnaker,who at
tended as his representativr.was
so absorbed with -the DODoin
of corks that he became Hthn
siastic enough to take a hand
in a game of draw poker early
Sunday morning at the Sev
enth Avenue. Hotel, at whieh
the cards did not run in his
avor. ' ,
It was not until to-day that
t was disclosed .that during
these hours of revelry, import
ant political, secrets were re-
vealed. The Americus Club
s emphatically a Quay organi
zation, but numbers among its
members not a few adherents
of Chris Maeee, of whom Con
gressman Dalzell is .one of the
most prominent.
It was with some of these
faithful followers of Magee,
while some outsiders were
present, that Frank Willing
Leach, the private secretary
and factotum of the chairman
of the National Republican
Committee, became involved in
a heated argument after
the close of the banquet.
In such company the conver
sation naturally drifted to
Quay's leadership of the pirty",
and then the Magee man be
came -indignant and 'luudly
proclaimed that Quay had
sacrificed -the organization for
the i sake of one point, and
that was that as the next
House of Representatives
would surely be overwhelming
ly Democratic, he foresaw the
signs of disaster. The chair
man was thus, according to
commom report, netting ready
to resign.
leach's bombshell.
"Don't fool yourself," respond
ed Leacb, in a half-angry, half.
supplicating tone. "That meet
ing of the Republican Com
mittee on Mav 7th is called
for an entirely different pur
pose than for the acceptance of
Quay's resignation. It is
called to take official action
upon plans which were perfect
ed by Quay
"Some of them under his
direction, were already under
way, which promised to insure
the permanent control of all
branches of the Government to
the Republican party.
Leach stopped a moment and
then abruptly asked his com
Danion. '-who is taking this
cenus, anyway." '
"Robert P. Porter and his
assistants, I suppose,'' replied
Mr. Leach's companion.
"Yes and you can rest assur
ed that the census will be
taken right," was the speedy
answer. V What do. you sup
pose Quay spent all those
weeks in Florida for tarpon
fishing ? Well, hardly, let me
tell you" (and here : his voice
hAcama at once emshatic and
mysteriouu) ."that . Southern
negro will have'to be very con
BDicuous to be counted in the
census this year."
"What do you mean?"
A NEW SYSTEM OF COUNTIXG
"Just what I say. The cen
bus enumerators will discover
verv few Southern negroes
this year. You can see in
moment, the important result
of this. We expect to have
the census completed by June
20th. thanks to an an amend
ment to the laws proposed on
the subject by Sunset Cox.
"The certificate of Supt
Porter is all that Congress
needs to take action for a new
apportionments our system of
counting. We expect the
Southern States to ' loose at
least eighteen or twenty Rep
resentatives. If the negro is not
counted at the polls, he shall
mot be in the count. .
"The Northwestern States
will gain just about the pros
portion that the Southern ones
will lose. Minnesota will get
three or four more Congress
men, and Kansas and Nebraska
perhaps a half dozen each, not
to speak of the Dakotas and
the rest of them.
"But can such action be forc
ed through Congress at the
eleventh hour, against all prec
edent?" exclaimed his listen
ers in astonishment.
"It can, and easily, too. Yon
j see, this is not a hasty scheme.
xi wu ueciuvu uyuu as ruuu as
it was found that the Democrats
would ? redistrict Ohio. Mc.
Comas' bill will not be passed,
as it does not cover the exigen
cies of the case.
; PABT OP A GREAT PLAN.
There is , need for more
radical acton. Everything that
has been done for Congress so
far," continued Mr. Leach, "has
been part of a great plan. With
Reed and his rules we now have
the House in such a shape that
any measure can be jrusned
through whenever, and in as
short a time as may be neces
sary.
"The Senate has still to be
fixed; and that is why Chandler
ntroduced his resolution for
the new rules a few days ago.
Morton has gone away, and will
not be back until the battle is
over. .
With Ingalls in the chair.and
the improved .rules in force, the
measura can be rushed through,
if the Republicans are eolid,and
right there is the only skumb-
Ing block. There are a few old
ogles in the Senate like Ed
munds Blair and Evarts, who
kick at everything which is not
done accordieg to precedent and
radition.
"But they must be forced into
ine. The salvation of the
party demands it. The appor
tionment bill is not all of. the
plan, however, and special ses
sions of the Legislature in
certain States will be called
under directions from, the
National Committee to so re
district for Congressional pur
poses as to make good moat of
the increased opportunities.
"It will be of no use for the
Democrats to attempt to follow
this line of action, forwith'the
exception of one or two States,
they will find a decided des
crease, and not an increase to
deal with.
WEST VIRGINIA CAPTUBED.
"Now," asked the speaker
triumphantly, "what do you
think about the next Congress,

CLEVELAND TO BE ATTACKED.
"That is the future of the
plan. The actual work of the
next -presidential campaign is
already well under wayr It
looks as though Cleveland will
be again the Democratic candi
date, and Quay now has ' in his
possesiian personal ammunis
tion against the ex-president
whieh will eclipse all previous
attack.
"Some of this may be even
used at an erly date if these
bitter attacks upon u,uay are
not stopped."
This is the substance of the
conversation, given in almos
the . language used. Summed
up, it means that the census
enumerators are to close their
eyes in the South and see
t double in the Northwest. The
census is to be completed in
shorter time than ever before
and the new apportionmen
rushed through Congress im
mediately thereafter.
The Republican committee
meeting of May. 7th is called to
duly authorize this course, so
that any insurrectionists in
either branch of Congress may
be forced into line by libera
use of Ihe party lash.

Major Ragland. of Va., says :
In - Ignorance our forests are
being fast consumed under the
general prevalent opinion that
fine yellow tobacco can only be
grown successfully on virgin
soil a lamentable error that
has worked "irreparable de
struction to the timber lands'of

An experiment made the past
summer with, cows proved
that when a handful of salt, or
about two ounces of it was given
every day, the yield of butter
Was increased ' one fifth, and
when salt was withheld the
yield fell off in the same pro-
portion. The "reaaon, beyond
question, is that as salt is re
quired for full digestion of the
ood; more , of the food was
changed Into milk. Keep rock
salt within reach effhe cows.
Me. Editoe: I see that there
are several plans suggested, by
which money can be had for
he muses of the people cheap
er and on a better basis than jit
has been heretofore. I see in
your issue of April 24th, Sena
tor dtanferd's plan to use land
as av banking basis. 1 don t
think' this will hardly relieve
the masses, and these are the
people who must be relieved
rom the power of many to
oppress, before: we can Lave
any general prosperity in this
country. This plan would
cause a great many small land
holders to be turned out of
house and home, as they are
as a general thing, under mort
gage. Now, then, these men
who had the mortgage against
these mortgaged farmers would
fore-close these mortgages and
there beinc no money in the
hands of the poor farmer to
buy the land, it would go into
the hands of the money class.
This last class would be .glad to
get It as It would boa basis on
which they could - get more
money, cheaply, to oppress the
poor farmer. This would
probably be a good plan pro
vided the farmers owned their ,
lands clear of mortgages, but
there are very few farmers in
the . South or West who do own
their lands. As it stands how
the farmers are allowed to stay
on the lands because they work
hard, stint themselves and
families, and pay a handsome
profit to the men who holds
the mortgage. If the Stanford -i
plan ehould become a law these
mortgaged lands would go into
the bands of the money lend
ers bo they could use the land
as a basis by which to gK.eap
money, So as to continL-. iheir
oppression of the farmer. ,
The Alliance plan, as ex
pressed in the Vance bill,-In
connection with my plan, sug
gested some time ago in your
paper, is, I think, by far tbe
better plan. This plan gives
relief to all at once. It. is just
this, let the government re-'
deem, or buy up mortgages on
all lands and hold these mort
gages pr lands as secutity and
let the owners have io many
years in which to redeem these
mortgages at 1 per cent inter
est. "This will pay the man
who holds the lands of tbe
country by mortgage and ?ive
the farmer a chance to rede fin
his land at a small per cent and
relieve him of the heavy per
cent he is compelled to pay the
man who holds his mortgage.
This will benefit both parties
at once, and in connection with
the Vance bill, by which ,the
producer can use his non
perishable product as a basis
to get money, will put the
whole country in the most
prosperous condition. This in
practice nearly includes all
three plans, and uses the staple
wealth of the country as
a basis rne lands ana tne
non-perishable product. But
taking one plan" alone. - the
Vance is by far the best as it
helps the great mass of workers
whether they own the lands or
not. Occasionally.
Taylors, N. C. : .
Have we another man in this
district who can step in Judge
Philip's shoes where he would
leave them off ? We seriously
doubt it. Then is it for the
general good that he should be
put aside for some other man
to take his place? Emphatical
ly no, and we tell the man who
opposes him that he is inviting
defeat. Edgecombe wants him
first last and all the time. The
people of the district demand
his renominatlon. The man
whose, ambition to serve his
people pleads him to oppose the
Judge' re-nominatiou, will
pay well for his whistle. Tar
