SENATOR VANCE AN1 THE INTER ' NIL BETXNI7E. ,We read the very interesting and able speech of Senator Vance, deliv ered in the Senate on the 14th of February, 1882, on the Tariff, to which we referred recently. Oar recollection of it was that the gifted Senator, like the unwise Democrats who framed the unwise resolution in the Democratic State Convention of 1882, was unwisely in favor of the total abolition of the internal tax on whiskey, &c. Our attention has been drawn to the speech and to a saving clause in it. The Senator uses the expression that "the wiping away of the internal revenue sistem is "a consummation devoutly to be wished " Aerain he savs. that "it 7 ' f would be doing decency and good government a service to blot out the whole concern, beginning at Jerusa lem." We remembered in reading the speech that such sweeping de clarations as these were indulged in, and hence we had put the Senator "on the other side" with those whom we have had to antagonize so long ever since the unwise Resolu tion of the unwise Convention that met at Raleigh, in 1882. But we are glad to be reminded that Senator Vanee in the same speechi favored a change of sy stern of collecting and a - retention of the tax. He said: "Let us tax spirits and tobacco rs some other tvat." "We wish we had known this when certain papers were abusing and trouncing the Star in such a violent and insulting way. We would have got behind the bulwark of the gifted Senator and aided him in driving off the assailants. TheSTAR has been vindicated al ready beyond what it hoped last July. It will be vindicated yet more and those" who live will see it. The tax on whiskey and tobacco will hot be : wiped out by sincere, earnest, and intelligent Tariff Re formers in the present Congress. Mark that. We do not believe that the Demo crats of North Carolina in their State Convention in 1884, will repeat the folly of 1882, in demanding free whiskey and free tobacco, whilst a heavy tax is laid on cheap crockery, cotton goods, sugar, salt, window glass, blankets, wool hats, shoes, trace chains, jack-knives and cotton ties. They dare not perpetrate that blun der again. If so they will be beaten and will deserve it richly. Do not forget that as early as the 14th of February, 1882, the most popular and influential man in North i Carolina made a speech in the "United States Senate in which he "favored repealing the system but collecting the tax in some other way." On the 10th of February, 1883, he offered an amendment W the House bill 5538, "to retfuce internal taxation," in which he suggested the -'other way" of collecting. This amendment re ceived "but 11 votes. Since that time there has been much growth in the ideas of certain Senators. If the proposition were made now in the Senate to abolish the internal tax we do not believe it would receive 10 votes. Gen. Vance has a bill ready to be introduced in the House, to which we have referred at length, in which a change will be proposed in' the manner of collecting the tax on whiskey, and beer, on cigars and to bacco. Senator Vance is understood to be preparing a bill looking to the same end in which the manner of collecting the tax will be elaborated with care and the present system will be abolished. Butr1rimember, the tax in neither Senator nor Rep resentative Vance's bill will be abol ished. r-;.- Gen. Cox has introduced a bill to the same effect in the House." So three of the North Carolina delega tion in the Congress are in favor of changing the plan of collecting in stead of abolishing. This is good. We have no doubt that others will be found with them. We have no right to speak definitely about the matter, but we expect to find Col. Bennett" and Col. Green and Mr. Skinner standing with Z. B. Vance andR. B. Vance and W. R. Cox in retaining a much needed and just and common sense tax whilst chang ing the mode of collecting it. South Carolina is retrenching. The xiouse proposes to reduce the militia impropriation irom 116,000 to 000. This latter $10,- more than North Carolina allows to 8HS- tain its militia.

North Caro Jina, Florida and Virginia." AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTI- TUTION. Senator Wilson, of Iowa, a new man, has begun his career by trying to make capital at the expense of the country's welfare and peace. He has proposed an amendment to the Constitution the intent of which is to back up the opinion of Mr. Justin Harlan, of the Supreme Court, rela tive to the Civil Rights act. - Mr. Wilson has made a speech too on his amendment, and we suppose a great many speeches will follow. - His amendment reads: ' x' v "Congress shall have power, by appro priate legislation, to protect citizens of the United States in the exercise and enjoyment of their rights, privileges and immunities, and to assure to them the equal protection of the laws," - We do not believe that any further legislation to protect the negroes is needed. We do not believe that the States "will adopt f this amendment. We do not believe that any thing but the necessities of the. Republi can partycauses such an untoward movemeut. The people are sick unto doath of high taxes and extravagance; in the public ex penditures. Some new movement must be set afoot, some new issue must be precipitated upon the coun try or defeat is inevitable. So men of the Wilson order must amend the Constitution in behalf of the negro. No one believes really that' the negro's rights are endangered, or that there is any cause for additional pro tection, but it is a dernier resort-it is the old war issues or overwhelming disaster at the polls. The people of the States will not agree to amend the Constitution just to give the Re publican party an issue or to save it from defeat. The able New York Times, a Republican paper of :.the higher kind, says this of Senator Wil son's amendment: "The people of the United States have. nlnuul in frin rtvief i tritiwi oil t ria nPAVtCI AnaM for the.protection of the rights of colored citizens for that is what this amendment really contemplates that they deem neces sary. If, however, we could .sup pose that this amendment answered to a real need of the country at the present time, and embodied a princinle which the people would in due time accept, it would still be a sufficient objection to it that it is in its character impracticable and could not be enforced. The United States Govern ment, whether fortunately or unfortun ately, is not organized in a way to enable it to efficiently eare for the class of per sonal rights, privileges, and immunities to which the amendment refers. Its ma chinery was not devised for that -purpose and is not adapted to it."- ' Since preparing the above we find that Senator Garland, of Arkansas, made a very demolishing reply to the Iowa Senator. The Washington let ter to the Augusta Chronicle says: "Mr. Garland rose, after Mr. Wilson had ceased unwinding Ms long literary tape worm from a very small bundle of paper. In about ten minutes, the Arkansas Sena tor, after briefly but powerfully reviewing the history of the Civil Rights cases before the Supreme Court, made the Iowa cham pion feel as if he had been drawn and quartered muscle by muscle. I never saw a bladder punctured so summarily and ef fectually. The Republicans feel it, and were dumb." ...... . A WANT AND A SUGGESTION. "The National and Executive Com mittees of the Union League have been in 7 session in Washington They are still prating of "Bourbon ism" in the South. In using this term they hope to make approbrious, they mean all of the manly and conscientious whites who are too proud and self-respecting to bow the knee to the Republican Baal and who have for' eighteen years "of tribulation and slander been steadfast in their devotion to principle, to an cestral faiths, to their race, to their kindred, to themselves, to the State, "Bourbonism" really means all that is noble and good and true in the Southern land even according to Radical definition, and it is the cor rect one. When Union Leagues de nounce "Bourbonism" they denounce all of that very large white element in Southern politics that has not done as Longstreet, Barringer, Mahone, and other natives . have done make terms with the invaders and oppres sors. We have but little 'doubt that the more reputable members of the Union Leagne .- have a ; bundled fold more respect for Lee and Jo Johnston, for Beauregard and a hun dred others that might " be. named among the soldiers, and for the host of noble civilians who have never faltered in their, faith, than they have for the fellows who fought the. North and then deserting their coun trymen accepted office from those who smote them hip and thigh. But we meant to copy a few lines from a part of the procfiedigs of the League. " It was decided tbt it would " f ' - - - "Be necessary to secure the sunnnrt nt Southern white men who will act in co operation with the colored voters, and pro tect, them in voting and secure a fair count We merely wish to -suggest that there is a very complete and earnest organization now in the South that is composed of "white num. . It is an organization that is admirably 1 fitted to "act in cooperation with the colored voters," because it is an or ganization made up of those who are friendly to the negroes, who' under stand them thoroughly, V who have been amongst them all their days. It u an organization that is animated by a sense of justice and propriety, and that is opposed : to violence, to corruption in office nd to unconsti tutional measures of all kinds. ; It is the very organization -t ppoteot them (the .negroes) in voting find to i secure a feir .count of ballots." Jt is an organization that has always opposed' foolish attempts to violate the laws of God wd of ujr by man's - L 1 ?il 11 to the Constitution -of our fathers and to the laws of the country in the midst of oppression and reproaob, in the midst of usurpation and .vio' lence and the most vengeful consti tutional legislation.', . V. ' ,''' We need not add that the -organl zatjon referred to. is the Democrat io party.' --There is but one party of which it can be affirmed in - truth what is above stated., Let the Union League, if it is honest ;and "means business," apply to the Democrats in the South if they wish well of the country and really -desire the wel fare, prosperity and protection of the ''"colored voters.". : " Senator Edmund's is urged by his Vermont mends tor the i residency but he discourages the use of his name. It may be that the able and far-seeing Senator does not think 1 884 a good time for a trial of strength with the Democratic nominee. We do not deny that Edmunds would be one of the most available Republican candidates. . It is beginning to be understood that it is not a good way for a fair minded Tariff Reformer to begin work by depriving the Government of 140 millions of taxes derived from useless and - hurtful luxuries to bacco, beer and cigars and keeping the tax "on those household and farm ins; articles that cannot be done without. In eight weeks Mr. Brodrib, the English actor (who assumes the jiame of Irving), has received $108,- 596 for his performances. How much is profit to him we have not seen stated. ." ' We regret to notice in our North ern exchanges that so many murders and other crimes are reported in the enlightened North. . Many American leading papers think that England has blundered in hanging O'Donnell, - and this may turnout to be true. S. O'Brannon, one of the immortal 300 at Chicago, has been arrested for stealing at Nashville, Tennessee. Mahone is a trump. He has got one of his boys a good fat office. Death of an Old Citizen. The announcement of the death of Mr. John G. Bauman, which occurred on Sun day morning last, was received with that feeling of sorrow and sadness which al ways accompanies the intelligence of the death of an old and valued citizen, who had been looked -upon as a link between the past and the present, and had been loved and respected for his good qualities. John Gerhardt Bauman was born at Lesum, Amt (county) Blum cn thai, Germany, on the 23rd of February, 1816. He removed to this country about 1838, and lived in Charleston for a number of years. In 1843 he came here to accept the position of clerk with Mr. H. B. Eilers, and in 1844 he commenced business for himself as a gro cer on the corner of Front and Market streets, in the building now occupied by Mr. B. Solomon. He married the same .year Miss Ellen Fietraan, by whom he had eight children, two sons and six daughters, the eldest of the latter being the wife of our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr. Eduard Peschan, German Imperial Consul at this port. He lost one daughter during the yellow fever epidemic in 1862, but the rest of his children are all living. He has had no children by his second wife, who ..was Miss Elizabeth Conner. ' Deceased was one of the organizers of the Lutheran Church in this city in 1858, was elected a member of the first Church Council oithe church, and was a member of the same up to'the time of his death. He was Second Lieutenant of the German Volunteers, a first cjass military organization of Ger mans which existed here for some time be fore and up to the commencement of the late war. V-'' """ .. .

A Visit to Smith's Island Interesting Facta. Prof. Washington C. Kerr, late Geolo gist of the State, which position he held for fifteen years, was in to see us yesterday. To day Prof. Kerr goes to Smith's Island, near tne moutu oi the t;ape Fear river, to gratify his curiosity in regard to a certain matter. Smith's Island is the largest island in North Carolina, and its climate is said to be the mildest of any point in the United States outside of Florida in fact, as Prof. Kerr expresses it it is a little spot of Flo rida in North Carolina. It is to satisfy himself fully upon this latter point that he visits the island. He will be accompanied by A. H. VanBokkelen, Esq., President of the Chamber of Commerce, and Maj. Hen-' ry Bacon, Assistant Engineer in charge of the government works at the mouth of the river. - On Tuesday Prof. Kerr was near Manly, in Moore county, and took a survey of a scope of the country composed of a high point of land of considerable area and ex tent, covered by pines. He measured the hill and found it six hundred feet above the level of the sea, or the highest point of pine barren section in the country. For this and other reasons. Prof. Kerr thinks the spot the best point iu the United States as a location for a sanitarium, principally on account of the dryness and mildness of the atmospheric surroundings. In this connection Prof. Kerr mentioned a significant fact. He says a distinguished Professor in a leading medical college of Pennsylvania, belonging to a consumptive family, and himself having all his life been fighting and warding ff as best he could the insidious approaches of this dread ene my to the human family, and having thus made diseases of the lungs a matter of study and investigation, described to our Professor the locality that should above all others he selected as ; the proper one for the - establishment of a sanitarium, and the point above referred to, in Moore county, says Prof. Kerr, exactly fills the bill. It seems that dryness, mildness and lack of variableness in atmospheric condi tions or surroundings are essential in a place of residence for persons troubled with hng diseases, Scotch Immigration Tangible scheme A Number or Families Expected In January. Mr. J. L. Cooley, of Richmond, and Mr. D. P. McEachern, of Robeson county, were m this, city yesterday in the interest of a Scotch immigration scheme of their own, in which they are assisted by Miss M. D. McLeod, of Dundee, Scotland. The movement has already assumed a tangible shape, and a party consisting of one hun dred and twepty five souls are expected to reach here from Scotland about the last of January. These people are all poor, and some of them actually on the verge of des titution, but they are honest, industrious, hard-working, church-going people, who will make good, law-abiding and 'peacea ble, citizens. i " ; Messrs. Cooley and McEachern are con ducting their scheme on no uncertain basis but know exactly what they are doing. They called upon a number of our promi nent business men yesterday, and were met with assurance of a hearty co-operation in securing the means necessary, to bring the immigrants out here. They also have a pro mise of assistance from the State authori ties."; ' Pender and the state Exposition.

After the communion had been administered to O'Donnell, Bennis,1 the hangman, entered the cell. O'Donnell submitted to -the operation of pinioning wnn a smile and witnout a murmur.

He was perfectly calm and self possessed, and while standing on tne drop he. looked around . uncon cernedly. - . Bennis performed the -remainder of his duty quietly. '.

The streets were closely packed, but the throng observed a quiet and orderly de meanor. The , Irish element was not con picuous in the gathering. As the moment for the execution appeared the crowd swayed up against the prison wall, and the roadway which before had been kept clear was blocked. The police, however, moved rapidly through the multitude and easily ciearea me way.

Mr. BfCk Called on the eentlomttn frnm Ohio (Sherman) who offered the resolution to state wnat special fitness the new nomi nee had for the office to which he was nominated. Mr. Sherman replied that he was rlni no- just what the gentleman from Kentucky (Beek)would do under similar circumstances witn straight face and without ennWir and he (Sherman) had no apology: to offer! He said that the gentleman whnn ha nominated was known to Senator sides of the chamber. He was a man of standing, of character, and well fltted to periorm uie auues of the offlce. ,He (Sher man) oia not nave a word, to sav . and rfirt no. say a wora against the gentleman now in office. . Mr. Beck said he knew that, wh suitea me convenience of the centlpmnn on the other side of the chamber they held the civil service idea to be a mere humbug. They are now. seeking to remove an officer whom they know to be the best officer who has ever been in office. Mr. Beck read from the - Congressional Hecord some re marks of Mr. Anthonv. made in thn or.A iu 1879, in which he expressed himself in favor of retaining in their nffl tho who had faithfully performed their duties Yet now, every Senator on that side of the chamber was voting to put out a man who had done , the work of the nffl a i k. highest satisfaction of every r member.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Scales, of North Carolina, presented me ceruncate ot election of. Thomas G Kinncr as Kepresentative-elect from the r irst District of North Carolina. After the reading of the certificate, Mr. Keifer, of Ohio, offered a resolution reci ting that at the November election W. R. Pool was elected as Representative from me jc irsi district ot JMorth Carolina; that ne oiea August s:5t&, 1883; that Bince the ejection oi jyir. rooi tne legislature redis tnctea the btate and created a hew First District: that the Governor of North Caro- "Kicicu au election, Dy virtue of wnicn Mr. Skinner' claims the seat, and that to admit him would leave one county without repieaeuuiuou,wnue anotner county would nave i wo representatives ni roforrin,. ?ii. uiuuun o uicueuuais to tne committee on .ejections, with power to ascertain and report an iacts pointing to the vacancy and the election to fill the same. - r Mr. Keifer contended that the resolution presented a question which should be in quired into bv the committee nn "RWt;r,D and asserted that the paper read could not be called a certificate at all within the meaning of the rules which have prevailed in the House. The very fact that the pa- tL ""ic uaie pi ioui jjecemoer, 1883, sug gested that it had cost a good deal of trouble, time and mental anxiety to get a yapci wuwu wouiu - not snow what the law required should be shown. As a mat ter of fact there had not been a vacancy in the district which Mr. Skinner claimed to represent. He quoted from precedent to show that in cases of a vacannv. when in the interim between the first and second elections the State' had been redistricted, the second election was held in the old dis trict and not as in the npnrlinir in There was, he admitted, a precedent to be round in -the Jferkms casein the Thirty first Congress.' which might be cited to strengthen Skinner's position. Perkins was elected from a new District to fill a vacancy occurring in an old District, and he was admitted to his seat by a vote of 98 to 9. But all the authorities presented grave.reasons for questioning the sound ness of that decision. Mr. Scales, of North Carolina, butlinen the history of the case, and contended that there was no reason why suspicion should attach to the fact that the certificate horn date of the 13th of December, 1883, because the canvassing board did not meet and act until that day. There was no weight in the claim that the paper read was not the certificate of election. It was a commis-' sion to Skinner declaring that he had been duly elected as Representative from the First District of North Carolina, and with that commission in his hand he came and insisted that he should be accorded his right to the seat. There was but one pre cedent for this case that of Perkins, of New Hampshire, cited by the gentleman from Ohio (Mrr Keifer). Perkins, standing in i the identical position in which Skin ner nowstood, was sworn in, and acting under the only precedent known to law.the vrovemor ot norm uarouna had issued his writ. - .- -, .. ... . . Mr. Scales argued at some length that Mr bkmner presented an ; invulnerable pnma iacie evidence.

'Counsel for the pri soner, maintained here that the crime charged against him was not an offence un der the laws of the United States; that the District Court of Dakota had no jurisdic-' tion to try him, and that its judgment and sentence -were Void; The" question pre sented therefore in this Court is whether the express letter of 8ection 2146 of the Re vised Statutes, which excludes from the jurisdiction of the United States the case of a crime committed in an Tndian country by one Indian against the person or proper ty of another Indian, has been revoked. The Court holds that it has not, in such a case as the present. Indians have the right to try and punish a criminal according to their own laws and customs without inter ference from the United States; that the First District Court of Dakota-had.no jurisdiction and that the imprisonment of Crow Dog is therefore illegal.
