The Commissioner of Pensions, it
was supposed, would require $100,000.
000 for pensions during the current fis
cal year. It is now ascertained tjiat he
will need only about $85,000,000, and
this unexpected surplus of revenue has
made itself felt in the recent operations
of the Treasury.
- Wo hasten, says tho Sunlo express
our hope that no pecuniary misunder
standing between Col. Tom Ochiltree
and the United States Government, no
mere consideration of dollars and cents,

The Senate will elect a President pro
Urn., as the term of Senator David Da
vis, of Illinois, expires on the 3d of
March. . It is thought that Billy Ma
hone will hold the casting vote. This
election cannot bo held unless Mr
J Jans should resign as his term of office
and the present Congress expire to
gethcr. Wilmington Star.
A mistake! Davis term is not co
existent with the Senate, only with
the will of the Senate. Ho is not Pres
ident by virtue of ofiice (as would have
been the case had he been elected Vice
President) but by virtue of the will of
the Senate. Ho is not er-qficio but pro
tempore and tho Senate can lead him
down and out to-morrow ii they so
desire. And Irom that decision there
would bo no appeal.
Ashevilie Citizen: . It is deliberately
proposed in tho .General Assembly to
amend th Constitution so as the tax
paid by the whites lor school purposes
shall go to educate the whites, and that
paid by the blacks shall go to educate
the black's. This opens up a new
political question in North Carolina,
and will scatter broadcast tho seeds : ot
new race antagonisms, dissensions and
enmities. It Is the entering wedgo 'to
rac legislation which must tend to
impair it not disrupt the amicable rela
tions now existing between' the ttvo
races; and those who have in keeping
the future welfare of .Uorth Carolina
should go slow in this, direction..: Ve
canot afford to make any mistake on

i An Outrage. ;
Last Saturday afternoon the train on
the.W'-. C. & A. Railroad,' which was
due here at 5:20 p. m., stopped at Fair
Bluff and took on a passenger, for
Whiteville. After starting tho conddc
tor called upon the man lor his ticket
when the latteV, who had evidently been
drinking, replied that ho had none and
upon being asked for-the amount of the
fare in money he stated that he bad
none of that cither. The train w&a
then stopped and the man. put-suV Art
tho train got under headway again the
conductor stepped ou to the rear plat
form, when the man who had been put
offj pulled out a pistol-and fired four
shots at the train, one of which struck
tho top of the car just over the conducr
tor's head. The train was stopped and
an attempt was made by the train
hands to capture the would-be assassin
but ho fled across; the fields and suc
ceeded in eluding them. As it happen
ed, however, ono of the deputy sheriffs
of the county, - was "passing along the
public road, with his dog," at no great
distance and saw and heard enough to
, . j
know what was the matter and he in
stantly gave chase, and in a short but
sharp run succeeded j in capturing the
fellow, whom he took to Whiteville,
where ho was committed to jail to
await an investigation. We believe the
penalty for such an offense is five or
six years in tho penitentiary and if up
on trial the man is proven guilty it will
prove a dearer ride than he bargained
for.
'Why. what are you putting that on
my feet for," asked a man with a heavy
cold. Vhy, to draw the cold out of
your head." answered the considerate
