Harper'' s Weekbj, a strong Re publican paper says there is noth ing a Stalwart Republican hates as much as he doee the word "Re form." A Republican generally bates the word "Reform" bad enough, but he detests the act more. A Word to Congressmen. Tobacco manufacturers want Congress to let the lax on tobacco alone. They are afraid of the agi tation, and unless a clean 6weep of t :e tax caiv.be made they don't want it touched. The trade already foela the agitation. No one can read tl:o reports of the trial of Gnitcau but will be convinced of the moral monstrosity of the man. Ilis insanity ia all vpjckedne6S and vanity, and if the jnry is effected like the reader of tho testimony there can bo no doubt about a verdict of guilty. The census bureau has completed the tables on the wealth ot the country. This shows, divided by sections, that average wealth per capita is $623,15 in New England; $452,24 iu the Middle States; $321,00 in tho West ; $145,94 in the South and $359,59 on the Pa cific slope. si a The pension nightmare treads heavily upon the country. Since Jane, 1861,.the sum of $520,000, 000 lias been paid to the patriots. Hereafter a minimum of $120,000, 000 annually will bo reqnired to foot tbe bill, and as the list grows with each succeeding year it is no Improbable that it will swell to $200,000,000 a year for the next decade. Many of our readers will remem ber that some two years ago suit was instituted by the Commission ers of F'orsyth against the adminis tration of I. G. Lash's estate look ing to a settlement and an account of his transactions while he was the agent of the county in selling its bonds to pay the connty subserip tfon to tho capital stock of the N. W. N. C. R. R. Among other things the com plaint alleges that Mr. Laid), while acting as the agent ot tho county, instead of selling the bonds, took them himself, and only charged himeolf about seventy cents on the dollar for them, that he had issued four thousand dollars more of coun ty bonds than he was authorized to issue and that lie had no right in settlement with the county lo charge more tor the bonds than what he actually paid with the in terest on that amount. There was also an allegation that Mr. Lash had charged the county usurious interest on the amount so advanc ed, with many others not now ne cessary to bcuamed. The complaint demands an account and settlement with balanco struck, so that if there is any balanco duo ou the county subscription it maybe definitely fix ed. During the pendency of the suit a notice was served npen W. A. Lcmly, one tho administrators o Mr. Lash, to appear before the Clerk of the Superior Court of For syth to be examined by tho plain tiff in the case. An order was also made in the cause by Judge Mclvoy for tho administrators to produce for the Inspucrioa of the plaintiff's counsel the books, memoranda, ca6li books, 'and also bunk books, etc., in which Mr. Lash's transac tions in connection with the coun ty bonds would be exhibited. The administrators refused so to do and appealed to tho Supreme court. Tho decision of that court has just been- made, knwn iu an opinion delivered by Chief Justice Smith in which Judgo McKoy has been affirmed in h'.s ruling. The effect of tho decision, it ia claimed, will be that all the books, accounts, etc., of Mr. Lash w;ll have to be produced, that usurious inter est, if any has been charged,will not stand in the account and the fullest investigation into all the details of the management of the trust 'fund committed to Mr. Lash's care will be had. It lias all along boon claimed by the plaintifls that the county has already paid the full amount it is in equity bound to pay, and that upon a fair account tho county would owe nothing upon its sub scription. The case stilt stanza upon the docket of Davidson Su perior Court where it was remov ed for trial, and will in all proba bility be tried at the March term of that court. The decision of the court is made upon points which strike at the cream of the case and there seems to be no doubt that the county will gain the suit in the end. The amount involved is betweeu forty and sixty thousand dollars. The advance made in the South ern States in wealth and general prosperity dnring the past ten years has been unprecedented a wonder and a marvel to onr Northern brethren. No better evidence tha the people were satisfied and that onr State governments were admin istered with wisdom and economy could be had. These States have been under the control of the Dcm - 'ocraey. "Wo want no Mahone, to tarn -us over again into tho hands of the Republican party to have onr State debts doubled and taxes Increased, A Revenue Storekeeper Found Dead. Oremstoro Bugle. Mr. A, Y. Shaw, well known to many of onr readers, a United States gnager and storekeeper and a repident of Friendship township, was found dead on his road home at what is known as McKnight's bridge, two and a half miles west ot Greensboro. Mr. Shaw was not a strictly temperate man, bnt could not be termed a dissipated man. He was in Greensboro on Saturday. No inquest was held, but it is sup posed he was intoxicated when he left the stables. There was nc in dication of foul play, as lie had on his person $147 in money and a gold watch. His horse itayed by him ui'til he was found, apparently not having gone step after he fell from hia sulky. Editor Sentinel : j. saw in your paper a few days ago a letter, which seemed to make an appeal for the lights of woman. It sug gested many thoughts to my mind and although I do not know who is the writer of the article, I feel sure she will pardon me for writing a little Eequel to her letter, on "Cohen's eights." I can imagine the sneer on the face of my gentlemen friends when they see these unpopular words, and am aware of the Herculean task I have undertaken, to convince them that a tew more rights are necessnry to our happiness and welfare. But in spite ot the difficul ties, I have resolved to make a few suggestions, that woman's field of labor be a little enlarged. Truly it may be said, " straight and narrow is the path," that leads to" a woman's erood fortune, and J few there be who find it. Who does not echo the pity and sympathy in my heart for the wo man who by adversity of circum stances, is forced to depend upon herself for a livelihood. She shrinks from the task, not because she is unwilling to work, but knowing the few avenues of support from which she has to choose, she fears she cannot find the employment she longs for. 1 wonder if many have thought of how very limited is women's work, while men may chooe any vocation they may tancy, and how unfair it seeuis to me. Girls do not often think of this. Tiie average Ameri can girls feel coufident that, some day she will marry. Her motto that she learui early in life is. "Get wisdom, get understanding, and with all thy gettings, get a hus band," so she is on the lookout for a "good catch." She lias only to choose some one, or rather let her self be chosen by some one, who will take care of her. All he asks in return for the honor he has con ferred on her, is, to use his expres sion, "ttay at home and do noth ing," only look after things a little, which, if defined closely, would mean, darn socks with interminable holes, sew on buttons which reward you by persistently falling off, kei your house clean and nice, all your "lord's" articles of toilet in perfect order, be ready to entertain his "Lordship" whenever he feels hka staying at home, and, know well, how to entertain yourself when h leaves you alone till twelves o'clock at night, never complaining abo.it or doubtiiig the "business" he gives ynu for an excuse. "Docs he not toil for you all day, and are you not blessed above all women." Ah yes, you are, onlj you loryet it sometimes, and allow yourself, like Maud Muller, to have a "Wish th:tt you hardly dare to owi. , For something belter than you have known.'' But that is only when you are cross and tired, and that is not your privilege either, but the privilege of him who works for yon and takes care of you. Rut suppose you fail to find this man who shall be generous enough to toil for you and give you your daily bread, then you have failed in the great mission of life, for "girls must marry." They have no other way of getting along. What can they do. Some day father and mother may die. Some one "comes along" who your "cousins or your sisters or your aunts" tells yon is a "good chance." He will be a good match for you and your future will b" provided for. Perhaps yon do not like him, your tastes are not congenial, but that does not mat ter, he will take care of ycu. It will be all right afterwards, etc. "Seek ye first tho kingdom of marriage, and all other things shall be added,'' so this is the advice and the match i3 made, and sometimes, I am very glad to say, turns out very happily, mid her "Adolphtis" is all her fond and foolish little heart can desire, but it ia often and often quite the reverse, and what sadder fate could a woman have than to ba unhappily married. Cut very often it is either this or a life long battle with the world for her daily bread, and how many dis couragements are in the path of the woman who earns her living. How few positions she can fill. Ytt woman is called the weaker sex, and so little provision made tor them as a class of workers. Would that I could have it differ ent, that I could cpen avenues of support by which they could with all ease "take care of themselves," that the choice of marriage or an nnequal fight with fate and pover ty should never be forced upon them. If woman's field of labor were enlarged, if by her own skill and exertion she could support her self thero would be less auhappy marriages. Perhaps tower mar riages, but when shs could choose between t-ji'oortinsr herself in an easy manner, or being supported by the man she loyee, if she choose the latter of her own free will and ac ! cord, giving up her own work to work with and for him, that would be my idea of a happy unity,, and the plain, but sometimes painfully true little proverb, "marry in haste and repent at leisure" will not in trude itself into their domestic tire side. It is woman's right to have a free and equal choice. My heart warms with my subject. Would that I could remove a few ot tho thorns of a woman's life, and substitute roses in their stead, bnt I cannot do this, can only hope that some day in the near future things will look brighter to her, and as ihe world grows broader and more liberal in its views, woman will have more and better opportunities and her sphere be not so dwarfed and limited. I hope you jcill ex cuse my imposition on jour time and patience. "13ona Fide." The Wilmington Star, comment ing on the railroad war, says : "These facts remaining, Senator Vance stands vindicated, aud the people of North. Carolina owe biir. renewed gratitude for his constancy, his courage, his devotion in their behalf. For twei.ty-fivo yearn he has been the friend and servant of the people. It will be indeed an evil day for North Carolina when its people turn upon Senator Vance to rend him because he has dared to oppose the policy and plans of a soulless corporation that cares as much lor North Carolina as the re morseless tiger cares for the crouching animal it will presently cievour." A press disaatch says that one of the most important results of the French visit at Yorktown has been the formation of a colonization so ciety in New York for the purpose of taking up the grape-growing lands of Virginia and North Caro plna, and assisting French emmi grants to settle tlietn. The eocioty will have a capital of $3,000,000, over $1,000,000 being subscribed by tho president of the New I'ork and Havre Steamboat Company. Mr. Benjamin H. Brewster, of Philadelphia, the gentleman nomi nated f r the Attorney-Generalship ot the United Stales, is a very distinguished lawyer and of good repute otherwise, wo believe. He will be confirmed doubtless, and will relieve the Government of the services of that bungler and attitudi-nizt.-r of the At tlmr Administration, Acting Attorn jy-Geuc al Phillips. Wilmington Star.
