The Morning Star. By WILLIAM H. BERNARD, WILMINGTON, N. C. Monday Evening, Mat 24, 1886. EVENING EDITION. THE SOUTH IN CONGRESS. Gen. Gordon is reported as saying iff one of his recent speeches in tSeorgia that he could have made enough money to buy the State of - Georgia by staying in the Senate and voting the way the money kings wanted him to vote. This shows, if true, to what corrupt methods the money kings resort for the purpose of carrying out successfully their schemes. There is no doubt that du ring the war and for the first fifteen years after it had ceased the corrup- . tions among officials were of the most flagrant, alarming sort. You must go to Home in the days of its deca dence or perhaps to England in the time of Sir Robert Walpole, to find anything parallel in iniquity and venality to the Reconstruction years, and the decade that followed. But we had supposed that the corrupt era was of the past and that the pur chasing of Representatives and Sena tors by the Plutocrats had ceased to - a very great extent. If Gen. Gor don is correct in his statement, and he is a man of high character, we be lieve, the money kings had not de serted their old haunts in Washing ton a few years ago, but were still there in force ready to purchase the souls and bodies of depraved, de bauched Congressmen men in both Houses. Gen. Gordon,like nearly all South ern Congressmen, was not in market. We do not know who, if any, of the members from the South were bought, but it would indeed be most wonder ful if all men from the South had clean hands and clear consciences. We know how many Northern men lined their pockets corruptly and sold themselves to the devil, but up . to date not one Democrat in either House from the South has been proved to be corrupt or to have been bribed. There were some dirty scoundrels of the Deweese type who were in Congress from' the South, but they were of the carpet-bag . regime and came from the North. There were also some thieves and scoundrels of the Moses and' Cipher -stripe who stole and plundered, but they were of the scallawag guard -who plundered under the carpet-bag banner. The South is fortunate in sending men to Congress both Houses who, as far as the public knows, have no smell of corruption upon their garments. This was the case before the war. Charles Sumner said that for sixty years the South - had dominated the country and had shaped its policy, but, he added, the -- hands of Southern men in Congress : . were clean. So may it ever be. Men who cannot be bribed are al . . ways wanted, as legislators. But Pien who will - guard the Public TreasuryyTwho will , protect the ; in terests of the people, who will up hold and defend the Constitution, and who will not waste the , public funds are also wanted. " DO THE FARMERS" PROSPBBf There is no doubt that some of the cotton mills in the South are making money, and it is equally certain that others are not making money. At Augusta, Ga., not many of the eight mills have more than - paid expenses. The mill near Black's, in South Car olina, on Broad River, is said to have made money. Some of the mills in this State have probably made a fair percentage on the money invested, but then others have not done so well. It is impossible to learn from the North Carolina mills what they are doing, as they do not publish their expenses and earnings. We know, however, that three or four have not been doing much in the way of profits for a year or two. The Baltimore Manufacturers' He cord still insists that the South is booming. It has written to the Com missioner of Agriculture of Georgia, and learns that the "State as a whole is steadily increasing in wealth." The Record says: "Gradually it may be true, but certain it is that the agricultural interests of the South as a whole are being lifted up to a higher degree of prosperity. We relied upon, a statement in a leading daily newspaper inGeorgia for the condition of the farming interest in that State. We do not know what sort of a report the Record could get from North Carolina, but of one thing we are absolutely assured that there are sections of North Car olina in which farming is not pro gressive, and in other sections by rea son of bad crop years there is a great scarcitv of food and money. In the Washington section, and our infor mation is reliable every way, there has been a failure of crops for three consecutive vears. l his has been a great misfortune to the people and farmers, and merchants have lost heavily by the same. In the tobac co sections there are many complaints of unsatisfactory prices, and the sys tem of farming' in some counties is suicidal and absurd. They put all on one crop, as in certain cotton sec tions, and buy vegetables, fruits, manures, hay, corn, flour, bacon fcc, from other States. So when the sta ple happens to rule low there are distress and groanings. How can there be any very sub stantial or genuine agricultural pro gress in any State where the follow ing plan is adopted: First, make but one crop; Second, mortgage the farm or the crop that is to be; Third, pay from 15 to 30 per cent. extra above cash prices for sup plies; Fourth, make cotton on poor or but indifferently improved land, and Fifth, sell it at seven or eight or nine cents; and Sixth, buy manures on a credit ? If every Agricultural Commis sioner in the South was to report genuine prosperity under a vicious and impoverishing system the Star could not credit it. Where one farmer is improving in his condition proba bly five are at a stand-still and at least one is retrograding is grow ing poorer. Such is our belief. There is a sady growth of popula tion as there is a steady growth of production, but there is a great dea of dissatisfaction, and tens of thous ands of farmers are no better off in 1886 than they were in 1880, and many are not so well off. - There is a decided decrease in the Clearing House returns of last week. This is owing to the decrease in business and' to nothing else. The New York Financial Chronicle says "Decreased speculation on the New York Stock Exchange daring the week reduced the market value of the shares dealt in to $81,891,000. a decrease from May 8 of $34, 426,000; this would account for only about $69,000,000 clearings, whereas the loss m exchanges at New York' alone reaches nerr ly $159,000,000, which leaves a falling ofE of $90,000,000 ascribable to other causes. We do not, however, believe that it is safe to - assume that there has been any such cnange in tne mercantile situation as the current returns seem to denote." Money is easier: that is lower, The average in New York was If per cent. Banks have not refused 2 on call. Flour market dull, and prices drooping. Wheat down. Indian corn dull; prices" variable and irreg ular.

CURRENT COMMENT. Once more two Congressmen "have introduced bills" giving the country illusory hopes of some pay ment of the call debt. A bill put in at this late stage, with a hostile com mittee ready to smother it, is useful only to the hypocrites who desire to have the country believe they want the Treasury emptied, when, in reality, they desire to aid the Secre tary of the Treasury in retaining and increasing his unexampled hoard of $200,000,000. The bill of Mr. Breckinridge contemplates the calling of $51,000,000 in three months in ad dition to the $20,000,000 called but not paid May 1, 1886. .This would do some good, and, if continued at that rate, would satisfy The Current, though it would take a year or so to undo the ill wrought by Messrs. Mc Culloch and Manning. The Current, The exact purposes of Gen. Logan in publishing are perhaps'on- ly a surmise; but at least it demon strates to his former yoke-fellow on tne Presidential team of 1884 and prospective rival for 1888 that he,too ib a historian, and can write, print and publiBh a book of 800 pages with .all needed celerity. The writing, to be sure, seems to have bee.n largely done with scissors and paste brush, and the product is rather a medley of speecnes, resolutions, and newspa per clippings, printed with glaring lypograpnicai empnasis ana em Dei lished with a series of interesting portraits, some very good and some very bad, the bulgy face attributed to Ben Butler, on a neck as -big as a stripling's waist, being, perhaps, the most nearly libelous. But, after all, the bone and sinew of the matter are here. Gen. Logan, if more for cible than finished as a writer, and, in fact, sometimes a sad conspirator against the English language, is yet always frank and fearless, and has a subject in which these qualities and a thorough-going loyalty find full play. His collection of the ut terances of leading men of the North and South, just prior to the war is specially well done and most inter esting. N. Y. Times, Rep. . , GLADSTONE'S GRIT. London, May 22. Mr. Gladstone intends to stick to his post. If the Home-Rule bill is defeated on the second reading, which is not at all probable, a dissolution must come before harvest." The Premier will not retire unless the country tells him to go. His action yesterday in calling a meeting of the Liberal par ty has dispelled the idea that if he carries the second reading he 'will, withdraw his Irish bills and reintro duce them next year. It is generally believed that at this meeting Mr. Gladstone will inform the Liberal party that'in any case, whether the Home-Rule bill passes the second reading or not, he will appeal to the country to obtain its decision regard ing his Irish measures. This he will do as soon as possible, for he thinks that it is but just, that the country should have an opportunity of ex pressing its opinion on his Irish bills before ; Parliament passes finally on such an important question. - - At 11 no man can afford to talk of next year .when he has set his hand to a work. The feeling that an ap peal to he country, would'shortly be made is what has' caused the stam pede from the Hartington-Chamber-lain Tanks to the Liberal fold. ' 5 ;A National Convention. A few days ago a ' conven tion of; Patent Medicines was jield- atMt. Vernona place whose interest centers in the dead. It was considered a fit and significant place far a national s gathering of this, kind; It, was well attended ; slegates coming fro m all- parts ol the country, l ne press were excluded rtrom its deliberations, but a represen tative of "our advocate " is en abled through the leakiness of an excited member, to re late some of the proceedings. The Balsam Family sent several delegates. The Syrups and the Balms sweet ened the gathering but could not heal the animosities. Many of the Oils were there to lubri-. cate the proceedings. The venerable Sarsaparillas re ceived the homage due to old age. Large numbers ' of. the Plasters were seen at the Back and Sides. But by far the largest representation came from the family of " Bitters." It is said only one member of that family was absent. The cause of this absence was ex plained by the subsequent proceedings. The presiding officer, selected chiefly on ac count of his size and the noise he could make, was S. Kidney. Scarcely had he called the convention to order when the real object of the gathering was developed. A member of the aged Sarsaparilla .family came feebly forward (they are weak) and entered his protest against young and vigorous medicines of another family entering upon the. special field of labor belonging to his fam ily. He claimed Impurities of Blood as his especial care. He looked as if it were true. The Plasters from their po sitions expressed their sym-- pathy with the previous speaker as they thought of the Pains in the Back and Sides which- they could no longer claim sole right in and control over. But the wildest clamor came from the seats occupied by the Bitters family. They were all of one descent (whisky) and resembled each other, although they were clothed in different styles and bore different names. Their abuse was heaped unsparingly upon the absent aud exclud ed members of this family to whom they referred as B. I. B. An impartial judgment from the discussion of the com plaints made, would be" that this young and thriving mem ber had left a bad company. Uses no whisky. Does not frequent bar-rooms. Is not a beverage. Is a strong tem perance advocate. Is a sure cure for all Stomach disorders and Liver and Kidney trou bles. It is called Brown's Iron Bitters. It has proved itself a remedy for Rheumatism and Neuralgia, and as a Blood Purifier and cleanser the jeal ously of the old timers en dorses it. . In Malaria and Chills and Fevers it acts as a specific, and Spring Fever never fails to yield to Brown's Iron Bitters. We don't know what , resolutions were passed, but that Brown's Iron Bitters has come, and come to stay, is a fact. It is the most per fect Iron medicine known. The only one that will not injure or discolor the teeth. That it is the best purifier, the best tonic, the best strengthen ing medicine known, is the verdict of all the people with whom we have talked:. Wilmington. Kefrigerator and Ice Works.

By Telegraph to the Horning Star. Danville, May .24. A terrible wind and rain storm passed over this (Hendricks) county yesterday afternoon, doing great damage. Many cattle and horses were killed by falling trees. Hail stones fell measuring two inches in diameter, and to a depth of six inches. Many houses had all of the windows torn out by the hail. The greatest damage is to the growing wheat crop.now in full head, which was wholly de stroyed along the track of the storm. No lives were lost as far as known, but several houses were blown d.own.

Record Dem An Astonishing Yield of Oats, There was a reunion at the Louisiana Ho tel, Saturday, of Messrs. Montgomery and Bettys, lucky holders of Capital Prize tick ets in the Louisiana State Lottery. Here were two men whose combined wealth only a short time ago was only a few hundred dollars; now. it reaches high in the thou sands in valuable real estate, which they purchased with the money they drew, re spectively, in the drawings of April, 1884, and November, 1885. Mr. Montgomery, who invested $9,500 in a desirable farm one mile from Mt. Sterling, informs us that he raised ft good crop last year, consisting of 10,000 pounds of tobacco, for which he was offered 7i cents per pound; 500 bushels of corn; and from two bushels of a new varie ty of oats (which he procured in Philadel phia) sown on three acres, harvested 200 dozen bundles. As many as . 27 stalks sprouting from' one grain,, some measuring five feet in length, the heads alone measur ing two feet. Some idea of the value of these oats may be formed, when we say that Mr. M. was offered $66 for his last year's product. He has 16 acres sown this spring. The value of Mr. "Montgomery's last year's products may be safely estimated at $1,000. In addition to Mb Blue Grass farm, he pur chased a valuable tract of land, in Robert son, on which his brothers are raising matchless crops ' of tobacco, besides other products. And the splendid possessions of these men were secured by the investment of $1 in The Louisiana State Lottery! Sure ly the old maxim, "Truth is stranger than fiction," holds good in these instances.
