CONGRESS AS A DOO-KILLGB. - Our readers should , know that the' Congress has passed a bill establish-' ing a Bureau of Animal Industry.; This calls for L 1 150,000 ' annually.! Commissioner . Loring ; has , charge. He is to extirpate all manner of dis-i eases amoung cattle, hogs, fowl s,j horses, &c. This bill empowers the; Commissioner to take charge of all; of the slaughter pens in all of the States and his will is to govern j Think of this. Here is a law, under: the plea of extirpating diseases among animals, that' allows a Com-; miBsioner to invade the States, : to take Charge and to do for. the people; of the States that which the States Can best do for' themselves. Is this? the Government that Washington! and Madison and their cdmpaltriotHj ootaKll.9 Pnl.n.l ! nA. . mi. 1 " ' . I session, ine vouBbiiunou is rup or sana. uongressmen seem to nave- eaten of "the insane root." . They, vote for all manner of bills that are! violative, or every tneory. nereto- fore held. The intent and pur pose of the Federal Government when formed was to do for the people of the States that which they could not well do for themselves. It : I - ! was to interfere with the people just as little as possible. Hence certain pun cio were yruitcv duu tci; tain powers were withheld But all this is reversed. Now there is nothing that the Congress will not attempt, ana it is aany encroaeni upon the States and their reser rights. Congressmen seem, to have adopted the idea that there are really no powers belonging to States as such.-'' 'i-i. ;J..;:. ;.',.i D. '.' ... Hj What right has the Congress to invade the States with an army of empirics, headed by Commissioned Loring, for the purpose of extir- plearo-pneumonia in cattle,. murrain in sneep, pips in cniCKens, grubs in horses, and so on ? What right has Congress through its agents to go about the cities and towns and villages in the States nosing around 0 .. - - - i slaughter pens and saying what shall be done and, what shall not be done ? But under the new bill such is the case. All police powers are practically de nied to the States and -Congress is now, the great school supervisor,' the great school almoner, the great horse and cOw doctor, and all under the pitiful -plea that these powers are con tained under the "general welfare and "to regulate commerce" clauses There is a puerility in such a plea that is ' contemptible, whilst; in the aggression and usurpation of powers there is serious cause for alarm. The people look on indifferent and re- signed' whilst the very foundation stones of a Republican Government are being removed, j The papers, with but few , exceptions, seem? to., regard me lenaency 01 sucn legislation as all right and that "an appropriation" is an ample excuse for all violations of th organic law. Among our Northern exchanges there is one able exponent of conser- vative, constitutional Government that is fully awake to the tendency we have so often' discussed. In 'its last issue the Philadelphia Record considers this latest phase of the systematic assaults upon .. the very citadel of our liberties -the j Consti tution. We desire to reproduce a passage or two which brings out some of the points of the bill. It says "After havlne made his rules for the sup nression and extirpation of diseases in cat tie the Commissioner is authorized to in vite the State authorities to 'co operate with him in the enforcement of this acU If the State authorities 'co-oper&te with his Federal agent, then tne States are to receive a portion of tne money tnat u appropriates lut 11 tne states iau to co-operate wiin fine Commissioner, -and this Federal agent -should declare that contagious disease exists in State, the President is authorized; to arrest the transportation of cattle from such State.

The recent .Medical Convention held at Raleigh seems to have been 'liberal to this section of the State, particularly to Wil mington, in distributing its honors and of fices. As. we understand it these things are decided upon the recommendations of the! Nominating, Committee. Dr. S. S. Batch well, of Pender, was a member of that committee from the Cape Fear section of the State. The following honors were conferred by the Convention: For State Board of Censors Drs. Thomas F. Wood, William J. Love and W. W. Lane, of Wilmington, Dr. W. J., H. Bellamy, of Wilmington, was elected a member of the State Board of Medical Examiners. Dr.: Q. G.

We have spoken of the graduating class Individually, and now, taking them collec tively, we would say that" all acquitted themselves in a way tbat will compare fa vorably with any college graduating class that we have ever seen. They showed con clusively the thorough training they had had by Miss Bradley and her very efficient corps of teachers. The evening s entertainment ; was one long to be remembered. To Miss Bradley this city owes a deep debt of ' gratitude for the vast amount 01 good being accom plished by her. : The course of f study is thorough and those who graduate from Tileston are sure to be soundly and wait instructed.

Dr. K Porter, of Pender, who was in the city yesterday, says , the cotton, corn and peanut crops in that county are all looking fine, and the prospect now is that the yield will be better than for ten years past. One great advantage is that labor, is more at tainable and reliable than for a number of years past In fact, the short crops of last year, with other drawbacks, have made it a necessity for many to put forth their best energies in order to keep the wolf from their doors. Do It at Ones. Those contemplating the putting up of strawberries for the State Exposition or the Fruit Fair should do so at once, or it will be too late. For fear of a failure on the part of others Mr. J. M.

At the joint meeting of the school.com- mittees of this city on Wednesday the fol lowing corps was elected for next session: M. C. S. Noble, Superintendent. Hemenway Graded School M. O.

Davis, Maggie White- man. -.. .. .'!' .. During the past year the schools have in creased much both in members and effi ciency. The Superintendent has conduct ed 88 teacher's meetings, 18 for the white and 18 for the colored teachers. The ad vantages of these meetings are shown by the increased excellence of the work done. The schools have grown steadily! in the confidence of our citizens, as is shown by the greater number of pupils enrolled and by the greatly increased number of visits paid to them by parents and by oth ers interested in the cause of education. This growing interest that the public takes in the schools is a suro index of their ex cellence. Their reputation is not confined to our city limits; for some of the teachers, both white and colored, have received calls to teach as experts at Normal schools du ring the summer; some of' these calls, too, come from outside of North Carolina. jThe Superintendent has received calls to con duct summer Normal schools -for both white and colored teachers in this Slate and out of it. This Bhould be a matter of pride to our citizens, and should assure them that their city stands second to none in the mat ter of education. Our schools have been recently visited by Maj. R, Bingham, Hon R. J. Scarborough and Gen. John. Eaton, all of whom were well pleased with the work done. Mr. Scarborough was so well pleased that by his influence $600 was se cured from the Pea body Fund, and the committee are thereby enabled to increase the efficiency of the schools. The next term begins Wednesday, Oct. 1st. . The committee have done ' their best to make the schools eminently successful and the public should be thankful for the grati fying results their efforts have obtained The enrollment for the year was 1,414. ' Tin Mexican Pension BUI. , ' In the discussion on the Mexican pension hill in the Senate on Wednesday Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, remarked that the youngest of the Mexican veterans was now 63 years of age. Mr, Logan was opposed to giving any pensions to soldiers of the Mexican war who afterwards fought in the Confed erate army. Now we have down here s man by the- name of John : L. Cant well, who will not be 6G until his next birthday, who carried a flint-and-steel musketjin the Mexican war and a rifle and sword in the Confederate war,1 and he wants Beck to tell Logan that he is not sorry , that ' he did either.

The event of the morning was the arrival of the California and -Nevada delegations, whose transit, .eastward has already been very widely heralded. " They were met at the depot by a delegation of citizens, and, preceded by martial music, marched to their quarters at the Palmer House.
