Sunday J Morning March 9, 1879.
SENATOR RANSOIS.
A correspondent of the Nashville
American some weeks ago, writing
from Washington, paid Senator Ran
som a high and deserved tribute.
We noted at the time one remark.
He said that he was "not great at a
set oration bat a fountain ot elo
quence when an occasion touches his
heart and spurs his brain to action."
We have never met with worse criti
cism than this.' Gen. Ransom's forte
lies in "set orations." His famous
speech delivered three or four years
ago in the Senate in defence of the
South and in behalf of conciliation
and peace between the sections, was
a model of elaborate thought and fer
vid eloquence. It was the effort
of his life. It attracted univer
sal attention. It was complimented
exceedingly and deservedly by men
of all parties. The Republican Sena
tor from Vermont, Mr. Morrell, de
clared it was one of the most elo
quent efforts ever delivered in the
Senate. The late Abram W. Venable
pronounced it the - most rhetorical
speech that he had read in twenty
years.,: ;.; " ; v
We have a repent book which con
tains no less than three extracts from
that splendid effort. . The speech is
very long, ver eloquent, very ele
vated in sentiment, very impressive
.and ; persuasive. Throughout there
is a fine vein of lofty thought and ex
pression. The sentiments are manly
and noble. Of its kind the speech
is simply and unquestionably a mas
terpiece, as far above his extempor
ized efforts aa it is possible to con
ceive.' : -! .
There was once in the British Par
liament, in the days of .Burke and
Pitt, the younger, and Charles James
JEpox, a very gifted man who made
one speech that made him immortal.
It was upraised by every one. He
never again raised his voice in those
famous halls of .debate.- He has
t passed into history as "Single-speech
Hamilton." If Gen. Ransom had
never, made another speech in the
Senate he would have been long re
membered because of the dignified,
beautiful, rhetorical and brilliant ef
fort W which we have referred. We
do not deny him the gift of "touch
ing the heart," or of readiness on the
spur of the moment. The point1 we
make is that he is great "at a set
oration," and that he surpasses him
self xm 'such occasions. -As Macau-
lay said of Warren Hastings ''writ-
iog above himself," so Senator Ran
som on a "set occasion" "speaks
above himself." .flV.M . ,?rv

The Goldsboro Mail; doea not ap

the practical utility of the Agricul
tural Department than the Star has.
Last year the farmer had to pay a
450 pound bale of cotton for a ton. of
guano. This year he must pay 475
pounds, or get a very inferior grade,

'Conaoaratively little guano iiaa .been"
gold In this State in the last three years for
money, but, on the contrary, 19-20ths has
been exchaoged fur cotton, aod if the price
of cotton in 1876 made the net average in
money realized $7.16 more tb&D injl878,
was it not rather ihe decline in cotton than
anything the Agricultural Department did?
Certainly so, we think. t
"In 1876 standard brands of guano were
offered in exchange for cotton at the rate
of 400 pounds lint cotton per ton, and if the
Agricultural DcDarlmeni of the State has
influenced the matter at all, we submit that
before it can be claimed for it, the saving
of $215,000 per annum, it should be able to
exolain the cause of the increased rate of
exchange demanded by the guano compa
nies now operating in tue Diaie. we Be
lieve that to establish the Agricultural De
partment, the tax of $500 on each brand
of fertilizers was levied. We believe
this tax has placed the whole traffic of
guano into the hands of a few rich com
panies, and having driven small companies
out of the market, they have been enabled
to force more cotton by 50 to 1UU pounds
per ton out of the fields of planter's than
they could ever have done, but for that
tax. We sincerely believe that the guaBO tax
has drawn already hundreds of thousands
of dollars from the pockets of planters."
The editor of theJfai7 isa practi
cal man of business, and is an old
armer as well as legislator. We
think his views sound and that they
will bear the test of scrutiny. We

THE BELL PUNCH.
We notice that several of the lead-
1 m TT- 1
mg men oi v lrgmia nave written
etiers in which they express them
selves favorably to the Moffett Reg
ister. They have seen us workings
and learned something of its capa
bilities when properly enforced. Sen
ator Withers says "it has realized far
more than any other system of taxa
tion hitherto devised, though the re
ceipts have not equalled the expecta
tions of its friends."
Hon. A. H. H. Stuart, a wiser and
udicious statesman of large observa
tion and experience, says:
"The -Moffett law. which provides for
the collection of revenue from spirits,' wine
and malt liquors, by a specific tax on con
sumption, is in, my judgment, a wise Jaw.
At first it met with strong opposiuoo.-es-
pecially from liquor dealers, who did not
understand its principles, or probably its
operation and its effects. But I think the
opposition has been greatly diminished as
people begin to understand them better."
The Superintendent of Public In
struction, Rev. Dr. Ruffner, says:
'The principle of taxing liquor at the
point of consumption is undoubtedly the
wisest and best, and will, in my judgment,
become a permanent policy of this State.
Should the law in this present form be
found imperfect, it will continue to be
amended until the object be accomplished."
The Auditor of the State is
clearly of the ' opinion i that th e
aw is a good one and ought to be
continued in force. Many of the
lquor sellers, who at first opposed the
aw, are now its strong advocates. If
the Register is properly protected
and vigorously enforced it cannot
raise in the end less than a million
dollars annually.
that it was feared our Judges f would be?
We merely wish to know, you know."
Is there notforce in this objection? t
If it is necessary to insure justice and
faif dealing to have rotationr among
men of high, character for honor, and
learning, is it not equally necessary
to secure the same -enda. lo r. have- ro
tation among the Magistrates? iff hipk.

In 1852 the salary of the Mayor of
New York was $3,000. Now it is
$12,000.. The New York papers do
not think the city government now
is better than it was then. The
TTorBays:
"A quarter of a century ago the yearly
amount of municipal taxation was $3,380,
511 05, and it was raised upon $351,768,426
of assessed valuation of real and personal
estates. The yearly expenditure then for
all city and county salaries was $241,833 70,
wmcn is nor xar irom tne sum now dis
bursed in the Finance Department alone
upon salary account. With the exception
perhaps of house rent, there is not much
difference oetween tne prices or tne neces
saries of life then and now.
How it is so obvious if $3,000 the high
est salary paid to any city official a quarter
or a century ago was then regarded as
sufficient, that in order to equitably au
thorize the existing salaries of four times
that amount the expenses of living should
have increased at least four times. This
everybody knows to be at present untrue.
The necessary expenses of living in New
xork nave not even doubled since 1852."
There is a disposition in cities and
States, both North and South, to
overhaul expenses and reduce taxa
tion. People are getting very tired
of the useless burdens.
The Goidsboro Messenger does not
relish the new law extending the ju
nsdiction of magistrates. We think
it probable that it will prove objec
tionable in many respects when it is
tested fairly. The Messenger says:
: "Our Superior Court Judges are general
ly gentlemen of distinction, ability and
above reproach. They are selected with an
eye tqttesej6Bsentials, yet our Legislators
rf quirethem "a rotate, and no Judge can
hold the courts of a county oftener than
once in four years. Now, the Mettenger is
not disposed to question the wisdom of this
rotation system. We think it wise and al
together calculated to add to the integrity
and usefulness of the courts. But how are
we t? reconcile this precaution with the
laxness by which the Magistrates are irfven
increased jurisdiction in criminal mitten?

This well known, divine recently
presided with! grace" hd power,"
says. the Church Union, at Joseph
Cook's Symposium" recently held in

"One of your own old women had said
that the doctrine of total depravity is a very
good doctrine, if well lived up WeU,
however far short you come to living up to
orthodox doctrines generally, you know
that the fame of New England is that she
does thoroughly live up to the doctrine of
total depravity 1 lApplause and. laughter. J
' But the MsUrical fact
stands that, while New England has pro
duced, through an orthodox mother, so
lovely a thing as Ohanning, during the past
two centuries the most atrocious atrocities
that have come into human history atroc
ities which have violated all the sanctities
of the relations of man to man, of man to
woman, and of man to God, have entered
history out of NewEngland. Sensation, i
"Dr. Manning, with a sly look at our
friend Colonel Uiggioston, who served in
the late war, says that New England Uni
versalis began to believe in bell when the
rebellion broke out They were then sure
that there must be a bell for the 'rebels.'
Now, bow curious . things, are. . I am a
Southerner. I was in the Confederate lines
through the whole of the late 'unpleasant
ness.' We had some Uoiversalists even
there. Well, when you broke in on us and
would not 'let us alone,' some of those
UniversalistB gave it up, and said: 'Well,
there must be a bell somewhere; or else
whete did these fellow come from?' Laugh
ter. Others, the staunchest, could not
bring themselves to believe in a bell, but
they-did give in enough to say that, seeing
there were Yankees, if there were no hell
there was a deplorable economic defect
somewhere in the Universe ? Applause
and laughter.!
"Sometimes I have heard orthodox preach
ers preach and pray in such a strain that
I admired the mercy of the God that did
not kill them on the spot. And wh$n I
consider you radicals, and the manner or
your speech, and see that you live and
move and have your being, then I know
that the mercy of the Lord is boundless.
Applause."J
It is a fact that the old Puritan
stock of New England is gradually
dyiug out. Tbeie is a manifest de
crease in the number of children of
native parents, and specially in Mas
sachusetts. That State shows a
smaller annual per centage of births
than any other State. Dr. Allen, of
Lowell, some time ago published
some statistical tables on the subject.
The Philadelphia Ledger thus re
marks jupon what he says:
"Dr. Allen shows, from comparative
tables, that the average number of children
to each family in Massachusetts has been
diminishing through several successive
generations. He ascribes this change in
part to the undue development of the in
tellectual faculties. He shows, moreover,
that the number of children in each family
among the forsign-born population is
double that of the native-born. Other
States of New England show a similar de
cline id the number of children , to each
family."
Such statistics are not without in
terest and value.
What has the Legislature done
about that Radical invention that
has proved such an unmitigated curse
wherever and whenever tried the
despicable Returning Board? Is that
machinery for doing wrong and
tempting those in power to disregard
the rights of majorities to continue?
There is no need whatever of such a
system. It is distasteful to the peo
ple, and bad associations are con
nected with it. A Returning Board
for North Carolina is very offensive.
Down with it.
; The last number of. Scribner's
Monthly contains an interesting ar

Modjeska, -We copy a brief parcU

' "Modjeska may have her equal, possibly
her superior in certain directions, but it is
doubtful if Europe possess so well rounded
a genius for the stage as she. Madame
Walter, of Berlin, is said to be unrivaled in
heavy tragedy; Janauschek has proved in
America her marked tragic genius; Bern
hardt has her roles in which she is unsur
passed; but none ot these can run the
gamut of the emotions like Modjeska."

publican cause suffer in that atate.
Of money from that source, he said
they had plenty, and "it was used to
buy voters, 6aid he. "We buy them
there like sheep, just as you used to
buy slaves in the South. -That is the
way we do in New Hampshire." Yes,

ruption" in the Southern States.
Louisville Courier-Journal, Dem.
If the Press could be believed,
Senator Butler, of South Carolina,
escaped conviction and execution for
murder because a rifle club or two
that would have "come trooping over
from Georgia," made President
Grant, Secretary Cameron, the Fed
eral army, Governor Chamberlain,
the South Carolina militia, the local
constabulary and a Republican
Judge, District Attorney and jury
flee from the temple of "justice and
allow a red-handed murderer to sit
in the Senate instead of swinging
from the gallows. Unfortunately,
however, nobody believes the Press,
and it would be adding the imputa
tion of utter imbecility to falsehood
to assume that the Press believes
itself. But organs must be organs.

We are not so clear in the opinion as
some appear to be, that the establishment
of an Agricultural Department in the State
Was wise, and that untold benefits were to

ot the friends of that Bureau doubt the
continued faith of the. people in it as the
great panacea for all their ills and draw
backs in agriculture. Bocky Mount MaU.
Tax is the tribute we pay to government
for the benefits we receive. It is an assess

That the burden should be as light as pos

meets denial; but just how this is to be
brought about has at all times and in all

a martyr to Dyspepsia, Constipation and Piles. Last
Spring your Pills were recommended to me ; I used
them (bat with little faith). I am now a Well man,
have good appetite, digestion perfect, regular stools,
?ilos gone, and I have gained fortypounds solid flesh,
'hey are worth their weight i n gold,
i Bjsv. R. 1l SIMPSON, Jjouisrille, Ky.
The first effect of TUTT'S PILLS is to In
crease the Appetite and cause the body to
Take on Fleata, thus the system is nourished,
and by their Tonic Action on the Digestive
': Organs, Regular Stools are produced.
Dr. J? F: HAYWOOD,

storing the liver to its normal functions, and for
this purpose no remedy has ever been invented that
has as happy an effect as TUTT'S PILLS."

This important organ weighs but about three
pounds, and all the blood in a living person (about
three gallons) passes through it at least once every
half hour, to nave the bile and other impurities
strained or filtered from it. Bile is the natural
purgative of the bowels, and jf the Liver becomes
torpid it is not separated from the blood, but car
ried through the veins to all parts of the system,
and in trying to escape through the pores of the
skin, causes it to turn yellow or a dirty brown
color. The stomach becomes diseased, and Dys
pepsia, Indigestion, Constipation, Headache, Bili
ousness, Jaundice, Chills, Malarial Fevers, Piles,
Sick and Sour Stomach, and general debility fol
low. Merrell's Hepatine, the great vegetable
discovery for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw
off from one to two ounces of bile each time the
blood passes through it, as long as there is an ex
cess of bile; and tha effect of even a few doses
upon yellow complexion or a brown dirty looking
skin, will astonish all who try it they being the
first symptoms to disappear.' The cure of all bili
ous diseases and Liver complaint is made certain
by taking Hbpattnb in accordance with directions.
Headache is generally cured in twenty minutes,
and no disease that arises from the Liver can exist
if a fair trial is given.

The fatality of Consumption or Throat and
Lung Diseases, which sweep to the grave at least
one-third of all death's victims, arises from the
Opium or Morphine treatment, which simply stu
pefies as the work of death goes on. $io,oco will
be paid if Opium or Morphine, or any preparation
of Opium, Morphine or Prussic Acid, can be found
in the Globe Flower Cougm Syrup, which has
cured people who are living to-day with but ons
remaining lung.' No greater wrong can be done
tnan to say that Consumption is incurable. 1 he
Globb Flower Cough Syrup will cure it when
all other mean3 have failed. Also, Colds, Cough,
Asthma, Bronchitis, and all diseases oi the throat
and lungs. Read the testimonials of the Hon.
Alexander II. Stephens, Gov. Smith and Ex-Gov. .
Brown of Ga.; Hon. Geo. Peabody, as well as
those of other remarkable cures in our book free

you wish to be cured you can be by taking the
Globe Flower Cough Syrup.

price. For sale by ail .Druggists

Grave mistakes are made in the treatment of all
diseases that arise from poison in the blood. Not
one case of Scrofula, Syphilis, White Swelling,
Ulcerous Sores and Skin Disease, in a thousand,
is treated without the use of Mercury in some form.
Mercury rots the bones, and the diseases it pro
duces are worse than any other kind of blood or
skin disease can be. Dr. Pei bkrton's Stillin
Cia or Queen's Delight is the only medicine
upon which a hope of recovery from Scrofula, Sy-
puuis anu XYiercuria.1 uiscases m an bulges, 1111 uc
reasonably founded, and that will cure Cancer.
gio,ooo will be paid by the proprietors if Mercury,
or any ingredient not purely vegetable and harm
less can be lound in it.
Price by all Druggists $1.00.
