What does that mean ? !If you are a merchant and go North to purchase stock and !pay your jobber .$2 for a pair of blankets and you pro pose to sell them at 70 per cent, pro fit what will you ask ? Yon will be sure not to ask $2. j If an English blanket costs in Manchester $2, and it costs 70 per cent, tax to get them into the New York market, exclusive of - transportation, you can see for yourself that they must cost a great deal-more riiearly double, all things considered than the cost at -Manchester.- . i 1. .,- vv 'Is it-probable that the -American manufacturer, who; has to, pay a tax on his raw material, will sell his blan ket at $2, when he cannot-aff-ord to make it at that price, and when he hag no - foreign competition and: can get as easily $3 as he can a less price? The Press asks the Stab,, with! a seeming attitude of triumph: "Who is taxed, who is robbed, -who has to pay double for blankets, who gets the bounty ? Does the Wilmington Morninq Star know ? : We have answered the question al ready. The : discerning reader . has already seen the answer. The tax of 95 per cent, made the people pay far more for their blankets than they would have paid had there been no tax 'Whatever. The ' consumers are made to pay in excess and they are the robbed. The manufacturers who have grown rich from the bounties of the Government can answer "who gets the bounty.", John . Roach is still seeking subsidies bounties from the Government. He lives in Phila delphia and he can tell the Press who will "get the bounty" provided that the Congress is blind enough and stupid, enough j and corrupt enough to grant his prayers. - : If there .is no advantage to the manufacturers in a High Tariff why have one? If Protection does not Protect why all this howl about the Democrats disturbing N the indus tries, destroying trade, ; up-turning manufactures? The truth is Pro tection is robbery and. the people are the robbed." I S 7 - -1 DEFECTIVE LAND TITLES ; 1 f ; -HIGH INTEREST. AND --1 . We were interested in a long article, in the Raleigh -Farmer and Mechanic upon the defecteJn the laws of Ngrth Carolina concerning property. It seems that in many in stances it is very difficult to obtain a good title. This keeps out foreign capital. "Uncler the present laws men will not lend money to farmers tak ing a mortgage m guarantee of pay ment. Northern "men who are will ing to lend money in North Carolina at a low rate of interest are deterred from doing so by the trouble of obj taining valid titles. The illustration furnished by the experiences of Col. Burgwyn, of Henderson, Vance coun ty, is a good one. He went to Bos ton and made' arrangements with capf italists to establish a regular busi ness for the mutual benefit of farm ers and themselves they to lend money npon ..three and five years' time' and, the - farmers to pay a- low; rate of' interest, : the. principal to be returned when due,; and the loan sat isfactorily guaranteed. But the plan fell through, because of the very de fective laws ; governing : titles . in North Carolina. ' i::' The Northern capitalists caused their attorney to examine into the laws of North Carolina and the re suit was he propounded to CbL Bur gwyn, who is also a lawyer, a series of questions concerning titles, &c, The answers were in accordance with facts and this led the capitalists to decline lending money in North Car-" olina. " The President of the Convr pany wrote as follows to Col. Bur-i-gwyn: . 1 . . "Deab Sib: After a long and thorough examination of the statutes of North Caro lina, our counsel advises us that in tbi present condition of me laws relating to titles it will not ne sate ior us 10 mage any loans in that State. I presume that the practical risk is by no means as great as it appears in theory, but it. is impossible for us to do any business of this kind, except in places where we can assure our customers that their titles are safe leyon& a question. , I regret very much that' we have been forced to this conclusion, for I had looked fort ward with pleasure to a connection that would be : mutually profitable. If your Legislature should next year ' make any changes I should be glad to hear from you in relation to them." ! i Here ia a matter for the best law yers to consider. Can they not secure snch a change in the laws as shall invite rather than repel capital? In the North money, is very cheapo Any man can borrow upon good col-T lateral as much money as he needs at not: more than four per cent, in North Carolina he must, pay from 8f to 15'per cent. The result is farmers are, compelled of ten to bny goods on a credit, mortgaging ajl they hav to do so, and paying from 15 Jto ,2Q per cent, more than they would pay if they had the cash. -. . The Farmer and Mechanic says: i: "The United States Bureau of Statistics, after, careful research Bays no legitimate business can expect to earn more than 4 ner cent, as a , resular thine: therefore 'when our farmers agree to pay ten, twelve and fifteen per cent, for supplies, tney nave little reason to expect to get out 'even.' Much less to make a profit. " And what a thing, in a country like ours to work all the year, for simple "food and clothing? But you cannot blame the merchant for exacting heavy discounts. He often js 1 forced to borrow from the banks in order to lend to you. He takes an hundred risks, even if sure of getting paid. - He in curs heavy expense in getting" the goods; and he would always far rather sell his goods for cash at small profit, than wait 12 months for 12 per cent." . "But here we como to the second point. Can the fanner borrow money? , He can if his land title is sound and unincumbered. A Pennsylvania farmer told us a few days ago that his neighbors could borrow money freely at 8 to 4 per cent. It is so also in New York and in New England.. Why not in North" Carolina? - - A wealthy Philadelphia Land. Agency last year got us to look up some properties for them, but only nibbled. ..No man wants land at even 20 cents an acre if he has to pay $20 worth of law suits per acre in defending his title." The" Henderson merchants have declined to sell to farmers on time. They do not want mortgages. They prefer to sell for cash.. Bat farmers . .- 1 .... ..' .. ... '."1 ...... with defective titles ts, land cannot borrow. " A leading house wrote to a farmer declining his request for sup plies oatime.. It said to him: ":" "We contend that no business in the world, farming or anything else, will justk fy the credit prices, that farmers have to pay te7io buy o-n cotton time, whether they mortgage or not. ; We, do not doubt your credit; but it is best for both merchant and farmer to pay cash. I If you have not the money, borrow it, and .the difference be tween the credit prices (frequently per cent, over cash prices) will be a good profit to you," - . - Here is an excellent field for prac tical legislation.1 -If farmers are so behind hand that they must be in dulged and cannot operate except by giving mortgages on real estate, then the laws ought to be bo simplified and . regulated . as to make transac tions easy, certain and - satisfactory. THE ROANOKE COLONY. It is proposed to celebrate the ter-cente- nary of the landing of Sir Walter Raleieh's expedition at Roanoke Island North Caro lina, on the 13th of July. Senator Vance has introduced a bill providing for making the celebration a national event.' Unless our authority is at fault Sir Walter's colony landed at Boanoke Island in July, 1585. His first expedition, however, reached Oc racoke Inlet in July, 1584, and explored Roanoke and Albemarle sounds, but it re turned to England, and he sent out the first colony the following year. This was thirty-" five years before the Mayflower Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. Sana nnah News. ; :'--,.'- This is correct in the main. Philip Amidas and Arthur Barlow sailed from England April 27th, 1584. .On the 1 6th of July (or old style 4th) they anchored in Trinity Harbor, an inlet opposite Roanoke Island. They remained for some days and then sailed for England, which they reached in September, carrying two natives with them. But it is an his toric fact that Raleigh's explorers were the first to tread the virgin soil of the '.American .continent and that this wai in J.uly, 1584. T The real. time to celebrate the landing is the. 16th of July. It was in 1585, as the News mentions, that thersi colony came under bir Kicnard Vrrenville. It reached the' North Carolina coast on the 28th . of June of that year. It entered through Ocracoke Inlet, then known as Wokoken, and landed on Roanoke -Island. Ralph Lane came over as' the Governor. It was in June and not July as the ; Netos says. ; ":- " ' . ' ' Mr. J. II.

He has made it what it is, and we can only hope that as well qualified a man in all particulars can be secured to fill his place. - The orphans love him and the people of. Granville who know most of Mr. Mills's work ap preciate him most highly. Old Fred's second . Mrs. Douglass is said to be of remarkably acrid temper and to have a scorpion tongue. Won't she make the old gray headed dar.ey "get up and git?" '' The Gold medal. 1 1 - We noticed on exhibition at Mr. Dingel hoef's, yesterday morning, the gold medal ordered through him by the. GermTof this city, to be presented to the brave Lieut Rhodes, who so distinguished himself at tae wreck of the steamer City of Columbus. It is' of solid gold, in the form of a maltese cross, attached by a gold ring to a gold bar or beam, and the cross is intertwined by a beautiful- wreath. Taken altogether, the medal is one of the handsomest we ever saw, and will doubtless be greatly prized by the gallant ofiScer who is to be its happy recipient. An inscription on the bar reads "For, Heroic Services Jan, 18th, 1884." On the medal 1 proper is inscribed "Ger mans of Wilmington, N. Ci to Lieut. J. U. Rhodes, U. S. 8. Dexter." Palmettoes. i : Two beautiful palmetto trees were set out in front of the Opera House yesterday; one on either side of the entrance, near the stepsC t They were procured fr Mayor Hall at Bald Head, near the mouth of the Cape Fear river, are young trees, and every care has been exercised in transplanting them ; so it is hoped that they will grow and be come vigorous, ; thus . proving an ornament to the grounds and a - curiosity to visitors from the interior, - many of whom never saw a palmetto, though , they have often heard and read of them. WantedA Superintendent. ; The Orphan Asylum is in want of a Su perintendent. Mr, Mills, who- has long and faithfully served in that capacity, has positively declined longer to fill the posi tion. It 'will' 06 difficult to find another Mills- but then the orphans must be looked after, and doubtless ' there is some one within the broad confines of this good old State who can fill the bill. ; Who is hel , If SE.KLY WILMINGrTON, N.

J : ; , - - . .7 We have heretofore referred -to the arrest of a colored woman named Mary Davis, in this city,' at the request of the Coroner of Columbus county, ' on the charge of mur der, and -her subsequent release, " Yester day another colored . woman of the same name, who was formerly known as Mary Gailord, was arrested on the f same charge. This later Arrest was made pn . a warrant issued by Mayor Hall, and turned over to the Sheriff, whd held a- warrant, for her from Coroner Henry Thompson, of Coluniy bus - county. This warrant ; charges her with ,thet; murder of TercOta ;F10weiva colored girl of that county-. - It seems from, the facts that have come . toilight' that, the girl- had been . living with Mary: Davis,, in this city, andjsjias sent home on Saturday laat, when she aoon after "diett" The- circumstances -connected with the death of the child led the coroner to insti tute an investigation. He thereupon sum moned a jury and held an inquest over the remains, a verdict being Tendered . to the effect "that said child was beaten to death by one Mary Davis, a citizen of New Han over, wbicn caused ner ueatn. Mary 'Davis, alias , Mary Gailord, is a young, woman, apparently aDout . iweniy- five years of age, and neatly dressed, fin the sheriff's office she appeared deeply dis tressed and strongly asserted her innocence of the serious charge, -and when Jailor Murray was ordered to take her in charge she burst into an agony of tears and ap pealed to one after another of the inmates of the room to save her from the terrible fate of being locked up in a felon's cell. declaring that she never beat the child, but that it was suffering from dropsy. She was told that her offence was not a bail able one, and that there was no 1 help for. her until her case came up before the proper tribunal. She was thereupon taken to lail. amid protestations of innocence and piteous appeals to be saved from the . in dignity of imprisonment, ' and separation from her infant offspring. 1 - The warrant commits her for trial at the next term of New Hanover Superior Court; which is a mistake, as. our Superior Court tries none but civil cases. Our Criminal Court meets next Monday, and the case will no doubt come up for a hearing during the term. 1 The first Mary Davis was arretted under a misapprehension, hence her discharge. Fatal Accident on the. Carolina Cen tral Railroad. " ?; r"" Intelligence was received here yesterday lnormmr or an accident on me uaroiina. Central Railroad, between Bladenboro and Abbottsburg, by which a number of cars were damaged and the engineer and fire man were badly scalded. - The accident occurred about 5 o'clock Tuesday evening to an extra freight train, that was going west; The 'section hands were mending1, the track and had two rails removed when the train came npon them. The engine and four cars were thrown from the track, and the fireman, Mr. Tay lor, was so badly scalded that he died at 6 o'clock yesterday morning. The engineer, Mr. C W. Collins, of Timmonsville, S. C, and a colored . wood-passer were severely scalded, but their injuries are not neces sarily fatal. Dr. . Thomas, of this city, was at once telegraphed "for and went up on the night train to the relief of the suf ferers. The superintendent of the road brought the wounded engineer to this city in his private car, and upon his arrival an ambulance was sent for to take him to the hospital. Just as the ambulance with the wounded man started up the hill from the depot the horse became unruly, and back ing precipitated himself, 'ambulance, the driver and Mr. Collins into a .deep ravine, causing a severe Bhock to the wounded man. -' .. The body of Mr. Taylor was also brought down and put in the care of an undertaker, to be prepared for burial' and returned to Cronly, where the family of the deceased man reside. Painful Accident. r Col. John L. Cantwell, Secretary and Treasurer of the Chamber of Commerce and Produce Exchange, met with quite a painful accident yesterday afternoon, and one which narrowly escaped being serious in its results. Col. C. had been in the office of Messrs. E. S. Warrock & Co., over the store of Messrs. John; Dyer & Son, and had started down the stairs, when one of his feet got hitched, or his cane slipped, and he was precipitated headlong down the stairway. As he was f. ailing, the safety of his head impelled him to thrust his right arm in front to receive the brunt of the in evitable blow, and it consequently suffered most by the fall. We are glad ."to learn that no bones were broken, of other serious injury suffered." The shock and jar, how ever, was Very severe and . the bruises sus tained, especially in the "muscle of the right armr proved exceedingly painfuL " The services of a surgeon were called into re quisition. - ; - - y-. -h - The Condition of Mr. WlKClna. .

He stated that the committee desired to pay for services rendered to the House, and not a dollar In excess. In other words, it pro posed that the law of supply and demand should prevail. i - Mr. Reagan, of Texas, thought that some action was necessary, and that the present system of reporting for1 committees was wrong: He instanced the fact that a re porter had recently been sent to the com mittee on Commerce who could not report, and the result was that the arguments pre sented had to be rewritten. The resolution was then adopted. A number of bills were introduced and others reported from committees and all were appropriately referred. :: The douse then proceeded to the con sideration of the resolution reported a dau-i or two since rrem the committee on Rules. adopted for the government of. the House until further order. -1 .

The Chair laid before the Senate a communication from the Secretary of the Interior, trans mitting, in compliance with the resolution of the 11th ultimo, a copy of the report of the Commissioner of the General Land Office, relating to the grant of lands made by the United States to the Florida Rail road. Referred to the committee on Pub lic Lands. "! . , Mr. Frye reported the new shipping bilj agreed upon, by the committee on Com merce. It is entitled a bill to remove cer tain burdens from the American merchant marine and to encourage the foreign car rying trade. Mr. Frye promising that he was obliged to leave Washington for Mis sissippi shortly, .said he would ask to make an explanation of the bill in lieu of a writ ten report. He explained briefly the pro visions of the bill, showing that 90 percent, of the duties allowed on articles imported to form a part of the- structure of ships built in this country wholly of foreign material, is by the present bill allowed when any parts of the vessels are built of foreign ma terial. ' He also explained that marine hos pital fees are by the provisions of the bill dispensed with; and it is-made the duty of the. United States government to support all marine hospitals, as is done by all other civilized countries. - --- On conctadinsr his remarks explanatory of the bill, Mr. Frye Said he hoped it would receive careful consideration. He hoped that the burdens and barnacles placed on those important interests by our own laws would be removed, and that something would be done to enable us to recover our supremacy On the ocean. Speaking for himself, he said there - was but one way on earth in his opinion in .which to revive American shipping, and . that was to pay subsidies and bounties,- and, so far as he was concerned he was in favor of subsidies and bounties. : v. .,'., ;:;)-v;Vi When the chair laid before the Senate the resolution of Mr. Beck, offered yester day, relating to the discharge of the colored laborer Dudly, Mr. Beck stated that on as certaining,; as ho had ascertained, that nothing that he eould do would secure the reinstatement of the man, he did not care to go any further with the matter. -- Mr. Iiiddlebereer then offered a resolu tion providing for a joint committee of both houses three Senators and five mem bers of the House of Representatives to in quire into and report upon the causes of all removals of subordinate officers made by the secretary and sergeant-at-arms of the Senate; clerks, sergeant-at-arms, door keeper and postmaster of the House. The resolution further directs the committee to report how many disabled and other sol diers have been removed, and the States to which, they and all other discharged and " appointed persons . belong, Also, whether 5 the : civil service act applies to v Congressional . appointments. In pre senting this resolution Mr. Riddleberger said be bad supposed the resolution of Mr Beck was intended as a "columbiad" aimed at i somebody, and o far as he (Riddle berger) was concerned, he was ready to go to the full, length, which anybody could wish in the direction: of .the investigation suggested. , Virginia had less representa tives, he said, among government employes than Kentucky had, and much less than it was entitled to, and he would like to ascer tain whether the civil service act applied to subordinate appointments of the houses of Congress and not to our house only. He had heard intimations that ' appointments were made in the interest of Senators from Virginia, and he wanted to show among other things the want of foundation for such charges. .Mr. Hale called np the conference report on the Oreelv relief expedition. The Chair announced that ! the bill, from the point of view of parliamentary law, was in possession of the House of Repre sentatives, and no motion or remarks could be made relating to it. - "- By unanimous consent Mr. Hale asked unanimous consent, owing to the emergen cy to take the bill un. j - Mr. Ingalls remarked that much had been said about "emergency." when in fact no expedition could leave before May.
