Randall has introduced a bill to give the President the power to veto certain items m appropriation bill. We have not seen the text of the bill, aDd do not,know 7uw the proposed power is limited. It strikes as that such a grant of power might prove dangerous, especially in the ease of an ambitious or . corrupt or reckles President. It might be pos- -ible.forhim to bo veto the appro priation" aa to practically make him elf the boss of the House, and to dictate what, kind of appropriations should be made. Wo could not vote for Mr. Randall' bill, however limi e3, because it proposes to'giveto the President, new and dangerous swer that might be greatly abused, ;&n4 might practically cripple Con fess while usurping - legislative function. Mr.-Rahdall seems to be a very unsaf leader.'. He is with the monopolists and money gods. He i tie enemy of the people because be farwr -Protection. He is always favoring and seeking powtr. He was for continuing the omnifio power of chairman of the committee oil Ap propriatione, such aa enabled him as chairman to effectually strangle nearly a thousand bills in the last Congress; and now be is for strength ening the President's hands so the action of-the Congress may be coun teracted and destroyed by the one man power, of which Mr. Randall . appears as. the ebosen and earnest .champion Having failed in keeping tbe auto rtic powers ovlhe chairman of the Appropmtiomjcommitteej be now -;propoes tcneckmate the . Souse in .another way by enlarging the yowers pf the President, and render ing the tremendous veto power still ixors obnoxious and dangerous. His hillonght to be eat down upon early and heavily. " i TK3 FABSIBRS AND THB TARIFF. The farmers have no friends in the Congress, at leaat'among the Protec tionist As Senator Beck remarked, all the legislation is for the benefit of the manufacturer?, arid tbe farmers, wbc are the backbone of the country, are ignored or overlooked, when finan cial questions taxation, silver, &c. are to be considered. ' Tbis is as re markable as inex'cusable. When it is remembered that the basis of all pros perity is farming It is certainly very strange that legislators should so eon I stantly disregard the true interests of the farmers. Two thirds of the peo ple who labor are on the farms. Then there is another fact not to be overlooked. There are two bales of 'cotton tent abroad to one bale 'con sumed at home- Mark this.1 Now llet the intelligent farmer ask himself Ihew it would have turned but for . 3h and bis neighbors if there had ' TpMoso foreign market for the two- fir&of their crop. Only one-third son'W b eonsamed at homer-that M jn the United States and ; the r.m i iiny two-thirds must have -r.moT.. vi a drtis a dead loss in fact, if t .We bad. been no foreign market. "Bain to the country wonld be inevitab t f the Protection idea was carried wt to live within our- clvss, raising' vhat we needed . and selling only to aeh other at home. The Chiaese TVTil theory will not do for the farmei". Again: it is a ta ct that during the Low Tariff years tl United States exported a great deaf more of goods manufactured out of " eoUon than they export now or bTe exported under a Hi eh War Tariff. Signifi cant that. The Nashville American jndt- piously discusses the farming inter. est as it is affected by foreign trade. Wc eopy the following, which vwe commend " to - the thoughtful. It 'ays: " - The cotton and wheat erowers, and the stock raiwim. have lonir since found that there are not two prices for their produce a small price abroad and a Dig one at nome. The hjivfl lparnd .that whether their wheat. cotton or meats are consumed here or in Europe they cannot teii. But they know that the sixteen ner cent, of agricultural products sent abroad during t&e past five years determined whether auytbingAt all was to be made and what was consumed at home. It amounted to a far ereater sum than all the capital invested in manufactu re iQ the United States ia 1880, although the manufacturers have been "incidentally protected" for tbe express purpose, as tbe proisctioaisu assart, of building up ""heme" market for the farmer. VOL. XVII. 'The tariff was to preyent us from be coming t nation of farmers as if there was anything disgraceful in that. And yet our wheat locreased between 1860 and 180 (high tariff Vearsi from 178.000.000 bushels to 459,000.000 bushels, or 160 per cent , while our population increased only w percent, in 1880, after ten years of t tariff 'only about 2 ner" cent, of our wheat was dependent on a foreign market. In 1 880 about 40 per Cerft. went abroad ' in the grain. In 1860 we exported a larger proportion of our wheat in the shape of flour a manufactured product than in ioou. rvoiecuon. u it was to buna ud a home market' for our farmers, and de velop our manufacturers on a healthy basis, has signally failed of its work, and is condemned by its. own fruits." FUN AHEAD. As far as we can ascertain publio sentiment the people of North Caro lina are with Senator 1 Vance in his war upon Civil Service. Without going out of our way to seek opinion the constant expression on the part of those we talk with is "Civil Ser vice is the biggest - humbug in the world." There is no doubt t of this. In proof, the President does all he an to turn Republicans out when the law does not come in to prevent." His defenders and admirers are saying that he has to be cautious because of a hostile Republican Senate. . This is confession that . but , for the hostile Senate he would make things lively emong certain classes of officials. The Washington -correspondent of the New York " Times a paperthat is crazed on the subject of the grand fraud represents Senator Vance as saying: . j ' ; i ; "I am not one of those who think that the fodder ought to.be civen to the ox that does no work, nor am I in favor of putting in omce tbe shirk wno does not belong to any party, and who fires away at, one or the other just as it happens tp suit bim. I am not in favor of putting Mugwumps or goody-goodies in office. ; I don't believe in giving the fruits of victory either to the soldier, who . ia willing ta fight me or my enemj-nor to the soldier who fights against me and loses the battle Mr. Vaccs says he has examined tbe operations of the Civil Service Jaw .'somewhat.' When, it was fuegtsted that Cabinet officers and other prominent Democrats in Government places were speaking well of tbe operation of the law he answered: -'Oh, nome of those men will say anything." ,! The Times is evidently disposed to go for our Senator in advance and prophesies that his speech will be "vulgar" and will contain "much that a Senator of ibis generation ought to be ashamed of," and then it adds, that the speech ; "will not be dull." If Senator Vance will only throw his manuscript; in bis desk and shoot off band sl he I would do I in North Carolina he will bring down his game. The theme is inviting. It is big with fun. It wears upon its face such arrant hypocricy and sham that it ought to be punct l ed and ex posed.. If tbe Senate contains "ouch Democrats as it should contain there would be many a speech on the same line with Mr. VanoeV When j he speaks on the "monumental fraud of. the age" he will not be "dull." Those who desire! to understand the silver question ought not to fail ta read tbe very clear and able speech of Senator Beck of Kentucky, in the Senate, on that subject. It throws a flood of light upon the historySf the question since the war began and fur nishes the very information-needed by the people. It would be an excel lent thing if every intelligent voter in the land could read it. It certainly made a decided impression in and. out of the Senate. The National View says of it; ' P' j .: ; ; "To say that it has earned consternation into the ranks of the national bankers, would be to express it very rouajy. it was to tboa their Waterloo. L All that is left them 4s to secure as much of their plunder as they can carry off -the field. Their only hope being that by pretended submission, by a snow or mceaness ana penitence hypocritically hiding their malignity, to so work upon tbe sympathy of Coneress as to save as many of their unjust plans, where by they may continue to rob the people, as ihia Wa Uarn that-, thpv are nnrch&a- puoorviM w . - J ing the control of prominent papers ia the Boutn.;:. .. : , - . - Bv sendiner five cents to the Na- ttonalView, Washington, you can get a oopy. ' - i 'r---.' :- - Oen. Toombs said a few months ago that Jefferson Davis was not the first choice of a majority of the dele gates that met at Montgomery, Ala., and chose a President for the seceded Southern .States. Mississippi, his own State, was opposed to bim, L and if the vote had been by delegate and not by States he would never; have been.; elected. Here is . the great Georgian's account of the election : "South Carolina was for Davis all the time. He suited the extreme views of that State, and Mri. Rhett held the delegates well in hand. Florida had only : three votes. One of these. Anderson, was an old schoolfellow of Davis, and Owens was a Carolinian and under the influence of Rhett. They out voted the third delegate, and gave DavU the State. With these two States, each counting as much aa Georgia, he secured the Alabama delegation by one voteby means of what trickery I will not discuss. Georgia. Mississippi and Louisi ana would have preferred either Mr. Cobb or myself, but neither of us were candi dates, and Beither would consent to have a struggle, so j they.; agreed with tbe three States that had spoken, f Texas, informally represented, acquiesced, and "Mr. -Davis was elected.' : ; : It mast be remembered that when Mr. Davis was elected Virginia, North Carolina,1 and other States had not withdrawn from the Union. -If the fourteen States had voted some one else would have been chosen probably. It is almost certain that Mr. Toombs would not have been. Col. Bennett has introduced a' bill in the House that will pat a stop to negroes jnarrying the District of Columbia. . Mtscege nation ought o be opDreBP8ed 'every where. , - t Hi 1 - Senator Vest took ?'the mtnrn lock,, as ; the boys called . it forty years ago, when he grappled with Senator Hale, of Maine, on last Wed' ceBday.v Hale sharply commented on the appointment ot a Democrat in his State to office and tried to make' an ugly case. X Vest replied and with .effect., r- He usually replies with ef fect. , v A brief . abstract from the Washington letter to the Richmond State says:, r t. ' S VMr. Vest then made a 'good point on the Republicans by saying that two years ago, when Missouri had a solid Democratic delegation in - Congress, . life Republican Administration bad a Republican referee in each Congressional District of his State, and no man could possibly get an office un less he was passed upon favorably by this referee. , And right here it can be stated that this was the case all over the South in districts represented by Democrats. . .. , Mrv Vest asserted, too, that these refer ees came to Washington,, where they re mained months, and somebody had. to pay their expenses. .' They were here to dis tribute patronage, and not a howl then came from - the rigbteouB Republicans., No man from Missouri could get a place if it was kqown that either Vest or Cockrel) was favorable to him. Applications' were on file, on which notes were made that such and such a party was endorsed by some Democrat, and that was k sure bar rier against success. . . "Further alone in hia remarks Mr.' Vest made tbe Republicans feel decidedly un comfortable by charging that not until the Democrats swept he country in 4882 did, the Republicans become interested in Civil Service Reform! Before that such a bill had no more chance of passing than he had to carry away the Capitol in his hands." ' It is fortunate for the party that there are such ready debaters in the Senate as Vest, Morgan and Beck. If there was one .paper in New York that above all others was bit ter, unjust, and personally abusive of Gov. Hill it was the Times. That paper is an able paper; it is a very able,, but it is much given to hunting down men whom it dislikes, and with a pertinacity worthy -of a better cause. Gov. Hill appeared to be one of its special dislikes, and it abused him in a style altogether worthy of the blind and unscrupulous partisan. But it now finds cause for praise,and it is in Gov. Hill's message to the Legislature that is spoken of in high terms on all sides. It is pleased to say: "Gov. Hill's annual message to the Leg islature bears evidence of having been very carefully prepared, and there is much in it to commend. It is not only far in advance of that submitted last year, but is in many respects a clear and able document." There are 150 newspapers in the United States now edited by colored men.

Onn telegraphic dispatches furemn the readers of the Stab with full accounts of the great storm that prevailed yesterday and the day before over a greater part of the country, and of which we had barely a touch here. " At 7 a. m. yesterday, tbe predicted cold wave reported promptly at the Signal office, . sending the temperature down to twenty, seven degrees. At that hour at Charlotte, N. C . the temperature was II degrees; at Charleston 20, Savannah 27, Jacksonville 33. Mobile 11, Pensacola 15, New Orleans 15. and Galveston 16. ' It grew colder in Wilmington as the day advanced, and at 4 p. m. the mercury indicated 25 degrees", with a piercing wind from the northwest. At 10.80 a. m. the off-shore storm signal was ordered hoisted for Wilncington' and Wilmington secion, by the Chief Signal Officer at Washington. The storm was then off the New Jersey coast, with brisk to high westerly winds. . At Smithville, the maximum velocity of the wind yesterday morning was thirty nine miles an hour, and at Fort Macon sixty-two miles an hour. .The schooner Tom JPi'Wiaww, from New York, which ar rived at Smithville Friday evening, and anchored, was drjyen ashore on "Battery Islands shoals. -. ' . The cold wave egmed to hare a paralyz ing effect on business ia the city. There was but Utile trading on the wharves, and comparatively few people on any of tbe streets during the day. Wood and coal dealers bad many calls, and drays and carts were running for some time after nightfall. hauling wood. Fortunately the prices for this commodity did not rule' high; stocks being large and flat boatmen anxious to sell out and go borne. Of Interest to Delinquent Tax Payers. The Secretary of State has issued a cir cular to the Chairmen ' of the various Boards of County Commissioners in regard to the redemption of property sold to tbe State for taxes, as follows To give ample time to every delinquent tax naver whose laoa nas neen soia to me State for the nonpayment of his taxes to redeem nis property at tne least possioie cost. I will not issue instructions for the bringing of any suit in the premises under the recent act of Assembly to enforce the collection of unpaid taxes until the second Monday in February, 1880, until wnicn time redemptions can be made on the same terms allowed before the first day of tbis month. I will say , further; for the in formation of all parties concerned, that no suit will be brought in the following class es of cases in whicli deeds are lodged in this omcei , .. 1. Where parties have "receipts from the sheriff or tax collector for tne time covered bv the deed in this office. . In this case let the party exhibit - the receipt to the chair man of the Board of County Commission ers and give a copy of the same to him, tp be forwarded to this omce. : 8. Where parties have paid the taxes for the time covered by the deed in this offlcs and have lost the receipt therefor. ,,In this case, let affidavit be mads by the party and given to tbe chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, to be forwarded to this omce. 8. Where .the" owner of the land at the time covered by the deed in this office is dead. In this case, let the; affidavit be made by the representative or the present owner, and that . the. affiant believes the taxes to have been paid. This affidavit must be given to the chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, to be referred to this office. " : r: In the above cases no instructions will be given for bringing suit, but the facts will be reported to tne legislature lor sucn ac tion as it may deem proper.

Running before a gale naturally expends more oil than 'laying to,' as you hare so much more water , to oil. Karefully expended, one quart in three hours for running, one pint in four hours for laying to, will besuffl cient. The means I used was a canvas bag (No. 6.) with large holes stabbed with a needle.
