Thk hill to prohibit the mailing of news
papers and other publications containing
lottery advertisements, and prescribing a
penalty for the violation of the same, which
was reported to the Senate last week, isac
eompauied by a majority and minority re
port. The majority of tlie ('oiiiinilt.'c on
Pi ist offices and Post-roads hold that ' the
bill is based on the conceded potter of the
(ioverniiicut to determine what characlerof
matter may bo sent through the mails; and
its purpose is to protect the general wel
fare ami the morality uf the people against
the pernicious effects of lotteries. The
purpose expressed is one of great public
concern, and the duly underlying it, the
majority claim, was very forcibly expressed
in the epinioli of the Supreme Court of the
I'liiti'd States, in the ease of I'haleli vs.
Virginia, in the following language: "The
suppression uf nuisances injurious to pub
lie health or morality is among the most
important duties ol'tiovcrunicut. Kxpcri
cIkv has tliowii that the coiuuioll forms of
gambling nre comparatively innocuous
w hen placed in contrast with the widespread
pestilence of lotteries. The former are
coiitiiied to a few persons and places, but
the latter infests every class; it preys upon
the hard earnings of the poor; it plunder)
the igioraut and the simple.' "
Tlii-) case, it is argued, sustains both the
power and duly ol lioM iument to inter
fere ley such means as the hill, which the
committee reports, for iheproleciioiiof the
morals and well being of the people. Oili

has tailed a nefting of the justices and
other citizens of the county who may feci
interested in the matter, at Halifax on the
first Monday of April to take into consid
eration the advisability of taking necessary
steps to have Halifax county propcrlv rep
resented al the Slate Imposition to be
held at Hah igh ill letober next.
Should il be decided that the county
shall have an exhibit there it will bo ne
cessary that a "iifficient fund be appro
priated for that purpose. The Hoard of
Coiuniis'i'incrs had authority to make
such appropriation under the construction
of the law by Attnriiey-Ocneral Keuan,
whose opinion the Hiianokk Nkhs print
ed a short time ago, but they preferred
that the people who pay the. taxes should
h i coii-ultcd,
The proposed Kxposition differs ma
terially from fairs hnld annually in several I
portions of the State. Fairs are princi-
pally to encourage competition and eiuula- !
lion among our own people and to facili
tate exchange of views among them. The
Fxpo-ilioti is the collecting of the various
resources of the whole Stale for inspection
by outside people seeking denir.ible hn?a
tiotis for settling. Few people would
travel over the whole State to examine it
because they can find good homes else
where williout that trouble. Hut if by a
collection of products and information
they can satisfy themselves by one short
visit they will come in numbers. The ex
hibition which North Carolina made last
year at Itoston lias already worked good
reMiilis and it is wisely thought that a
similar Kxposition at Raleigh will increase
the interest raised at Boston.
It is true that Halifax county has not
been apparently benefited by the Boston
exhibit, but that is because Halifax was
not repri-sentcd there and few psiplo who
visited that F.XKis',tion knew that such a
county existed. Ami this fact is reason
enough why our people should make them
selves, their resource and their natural
advantages known to the whole world.
From the articles and information collected
at Kaleigh the State Agricultural Depart
ment will collect mid arrange a handsome
exhibit at the World's fair at New Or
leans next winter.
Many citizens of the couuty do not
know, or have not thought of, this matter
and probably many do not suppose there
is much here to exhibit, but there in n
great deal
The county abounds in marl, lleavcr

minks, foxes and other animals valuable
for fur are found here and skins of all
these could be stuffed and mounted. Sec
tions of pine, cypress, uak and sycamore
trees could be sent. Nearly all the to
bacco boxes made in North Carolina of
sycamore and most of them are made of
this wood, are bought in Ohio and ship
ped to this State while there is sycamore
wood enough in Halifax county to make
somebody's fortune. In fact these are
only some of the things that could be col
I'cted for an exhibit. Halifax county may
not make as good a show as soine olio r
counties but this nerd not keep it from
doing whal it can.
In oiii' respect at least Halifax could
lead the State. The Messrs. Garrett of
Kingwood could make an exhibit of na
tive wines equal to those of California in j
quality. They ship and sell aliimually
over Sil.OtIO gallons of wine and (lure is

There is much information to be given
; to vi-iti rs seeking investments "which
j would be of vast benefit to the County.
I For instance the water power iu the
1 i"Hy. 1 he canal at eldon and the
! '""'7 dreams in the county which could,
with capital, be turned into splendid mo
tive power for miles would astonish even
the citizens themselves. But people will
not read about it all. There must be
some one to tell them, to answer questions,
make explanations and, in short, talk for
us. How is all this to be done?
If it is done at all, the county or noma
of its enterprising citiicus must raise a
fund and place it in thu hands of niea
who would use it for collecting whatever
is noce.ssary, urraugiug it at Raleigh in an
attractive style and paying some one to
slay there during the Exposition to repre.
sent the county and show its resources.
How much motley would be required is
bald to tell. Mjnt counties which have
j taken action have appropriated sums vary-
1 ing from four lo six hundred dollars.
Wc have entered ut length upon this
.subject because but little has been said
about it in the woi nly and the ieople who
id tend the meeting called at Halifax on
the lirst Monday iu uext month should
know Something alHitit it. so that they can
act intelligently.
As any cil'uen van attend there should
be a full meeting, ctqiccially of the tux
payers, so that there will be no discontent
if an appropriation should be made. If
any one objects lo such a disposition uf
the county funds let him attend the meet
ing and state his objections and his rea
sons for them; if any one favors thu prop
osition h i him also attend and urge his
reasons, thus will thcro.be a full discus

Senator lianwira'g remarks mi subruit-
tiii'4 the r.-port against his rrmilution:
Mr. Ransom, from the committee on
Appropriations, reported back adversely
the joint risoliition introduced by him
hist Monday, mid refeired to that commit
tee, providing for an appropriation to aid
I lie sufferers by the great storm in the
Southern Slau-a. In reporting it hack Mr.
Ransom stated that the commit tee had
given the mailer very careful consideration.
Telegrams were sent to the tiovoriiors of
the different Statin affected, and to other
p r.sons iu tho.se States supH)sed Ui be
besl acquainted with all of the incidents
of tlii! storm, and the subsequent suffering,
and while the first account of the great
sufferings uf certain communities had beeu
fully confirmed, y.'t those sufferings were
not. in the judgment of the committee, of
that wide spread, transcendent and para
mount character which baffled all local,
individual, municipal and State relief, so
an to demand the intervention of (lovern-
luetit. He could not let the occasion pass,
Mr. lUusoin added, without Haying that,
while in presenting the resolution, he had
he n actuated by a becoming impulse,' it
was proper now that the country should
know at the earliest moment that Congress
would not take steps for relief iu this in
stance He said this in order that private
and local charity may not be suspended.
The example of the people of those States,
iu their great ordeal of suffering, could not
but command the admiration ol'their coun
trymen everywhere. He (Rausoin) might
sometimes be carried awav by enthusiasm
for his own people, but when he looked at
what had takeu place aiming the people of
North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama
and tieorgia and their resolution to bide
their faith, mid tint come to Congress for
rclif, even when an effort had been made
to give it to them, it reminded him of the
heroism of Fabricius and Kegulus, and nf
the great Athenian who sacrificed every
thing that he might stand by his country.
He hoped tliT noble example given by the
afflicted people in this case would be use
ful to richer and more powerful communi
ties, which might not be worse afflicted.
In conclusion, Mr. Ransom thanked the
committee on appropriation for tha careful
consideration which thy had given to the
subject.
Mr. (larlaud said he supposed the action
of the committee was based on the ground
that they did not consider from the infor
mation received that there was any neces
sity for the intcrjiosition of Congress.
Mr. Ransom said that was the ground.
Mr. (iarland said he did not understand
such interposition to have been decided or.
the ground of the unconstitutionality of
sui li all 1 iu eases where it wm shown to be
required.
Air. Ransom said not at all
Mr. (iarland said that he did not wish
it to be understood that he for one moment
(l,m,tel the authority of Congress to ex-
tend aid in a case calling for it, if the Ques
tion nail arisen, or that he would have had
something to say.
Mr. Ransom said thai if this were a
time to discuss that matter lie Mtutmonii
w.ntl be able to show a line of precedents,-
tavoring the constitutionality of such ac
tion trow the beginning of our government
to the present day. When the matter
came to be investigated there could be,
said he. but one opinion as to the consti
tutional authority of Congress in a case of
such imminent and impending ruin as to
exceed the capacity of local and State aid.

for the iioinitiatiou for Governor, and his
lung power il' the Wise Meu will it) will

Nearly 1 1 years ago Capt, Coke was
burn iu Virginia au accident that he
took so solely to heart as to induce him to
become a North Carolinian and he became
one iu dead earnest, for he moved to Ed
cnloii, which is the severest test surely.
There he married a daughter of Mr. Ed-
waid Wood an accomplished lady who
died in lSTli. It was in 1871 when the
delu-ioii of politics threatened first to lead
him from the law. In that year he wwi
a candidate for a seat in the State Con
vention, which, however, did not meet.
The next your he was before the people
as an elector on the Greeley ticket. There
seemed hope, then, that he would eschew
politics, but in 1876 haviue already
liis'ti sK.kcn of as a probable successor of
Mr. lates in Congress he beeiune the
Democratic candidate for the State Sen
ate from the First district, and won the
election. In the Senate he was a mem
ber of the Judiciary committee and chair
man of the committee ou County Govern
inuiil. lie may iudecd be called the
father of the present system of county
government, that being the main portion
of his work and his maiu purpose in that
session. He was conspicuous in his oppo
sition to the motion (which was carried)
iu tin Legislature iu 1876 to instruct our
Congressional delegation to supsirt the
electoral commission.
Iu 1SSU, having on tho year previous
married a daughter of the late Mr. Jeff.
Fisher, of this city, and become a citixen
of Kaleigh, he was cboseu chairman of the
Slate Dcniis'ratic Executive Committee,
and he conducted the campaign with less
money i mv.'ti hy other parties) than has
recently been known on either side in
North Carolina. In lKS'2 he issued the
now somewhat famous "Document Num

and offered the resolution which became a
plank in the platform in favor of the re
is'al ol llie uili'iual revenue law and a
