Now it is as blind and in fat , nated a High Protection organ as the Philadelphia Press or Judge; Kelley, of "pig-iron associations. In a re cent issue the Atlanta flopper said vWo uv ntndidlv. that the Democratic! party can not afford to go before the people; on the record that Speaker Carlisle has made for It. The tobacco tax must be rel pealed. The people of the country, Re-I publicans as well as Democrats, are a unit in favor of the repeal, and Congress must carry out the wishes of the peopl0." i I ' There are several glaring errors packed away in - those few lines. First, as to Speaker Carlisle. ! '. Cither the ' Constitution misrepresents purj posely or is ignorant of Mr. Carlisle's position. He has not . opposed re during the taxes on tobasco, but he has ooDosed reducin&r that tax and leaving the War Tax on the common neoessaries. And, ne aia rigui ana rigut the common sense of the country will say well done. f The Constitution, High Tariff or 4 gan, says the 'tobaoco tax mast be repealed." It does not say jthat the present uuge aim uuuearauit; tai uu. shoes, j trace chains, hats, blankets, alnacas. cotton ties, window" srlassJ crockery, &o., must be even! reduced much less "repealed." If that paper . . . ' -srv . . f mm' I thinks the democratic party can "ai ford to go before the people" on sue! a blundering, absurd, unfair and op pressive "record" as the Constitution would make for it then it is blinder and less knowing than we think. But the Georgia exponent of Kel leyism puts the cap-stone on its pyra mid of absurdities when it says that . . ' m . a L at . "the people ot the country, or ooin parties, "are a nmt .in favor of the repeal." The reply is obvious. There is no such unity. In the North a maj ioritv of the Democrats are not in favor of any such repeal. In "the South, outside of Virginia, North Carolina, and perhaps two other States there is not a majority of De mocrats who favor it. The Republi eans in the North are' disposed to favor any scheme that will tend to - maennueiy iasien ine preBentpniqm tons Tariff upon the country. They favor taxing the necessaries for the - benefit of the luxuries to oppress the many for the benefit Jof the few, But the Democrats are committed tc no suck folly. , j ' Tobacco is a luxury and tne con sumer pays the tax. That is the whole of it. If a man feels that h is burdened by smoking or chewing, let him quit. But a man cannot cease eating, and he must have clothing and other comforts. Lifjt the taxes from them, if you would (really ben efit the people. MIXED RACE SCHOOLS I The Blair bill encourages the idea that in the end there shall be mixed schools both races attending the same schools or the stay away and shift for whites must themselves! We do not mean that this is the chie aim of the dangerous bil , pr that it bond," but! is so "nominated' in the we mean to say that the effect will be in the direction of m xed schools' lite1 and that it mav end in the wh children being deprived altogether of school advantages except 'of a pri vate kind. We thinl of section second of the bill justifies such a fear. If we are correct in this1 apprehension of danger then the bill is trebly dangerous, for it not onlv violates fundamental law and sets a very bad precedent, but it also opens a way for the serious injury of public echools that mav ultimately result in their destruction. If the bill does not encourage the idea of mixed schools then we: have seer. more in section, second than is con-j tained therein. The tendency of the bill will be to invite mixed schools because with them the white chil- i - uren in most or ine ooumern states will get more money '-more per capita. 1 j I ; . - The Department of Agriculture at Washington - Btates that the, c crop in the South for 1886, was 466, 871,000 bushels. This is 28.3 per cent of the whole of the crop in the Uni ted States. Bat this is not really an increase in production when coml pared with tbe whole, as some of oar tuuaugeB uave supposed. 1.U 10 IV the production was 237,295,000 bushels and 32 per centl of the whole, While the south is growing more bushels of corn, the North is grow ing more proportionately. Matthew Arnold, the English poet and one of the greatest of living cri tics, says in an article; in the new; London Murray's Grant's work:. Magazine on "Then too. General Grant, the central figure of these memoirs is not to the Eng lish imagination the hero of the American civil war: the hero is .Lee and of Lee tbe memoirs tell us but little. TUB PENITENTIARY Our highly esteemed contempo- rary, the lireensooro rrormnun, una a good editorial on "Convicts," baaed upon a text or two it copies Jrom the Stab. - It favors a return to the whippingpost. It says: "It has always been proof to us of the effectiveness of flogging as a preventive or petty crime, . that almost every criminal would vote against it as an alternative of the penitentiary, and we dare say that if Hogging were enacted ana mauiuieu m Greensboro, as an experiment, a large exo dus of small thieves would leave their 'foot prints on the sands of the county line as soon as circumstances would permit.1 and but few circumstances would be found ox sufficient importance to block up the way. "But we regard the flogging system as especially adapted for the correction of the more yomniui orxenuers, wuo uugut mem by be saved from greater crimes, and the gallows.: F ;:'.s"?. -.;. !;.:'' " t , It would be a good ; thing for the honest people of North Carolina If the rogues and' rascals could catch thirty-nine on their backs as was the case before the war came with its changes, many of which have been for the' worst. There is no reme dial agent fio handy and so benefi cent for the smaller ortmee as a sound thrashing well laid jonL We saw a white rogue from! Virginia onoe get thirty-nine lashes on his ten der white back. He declared he would give North Carolina justice a wide berth ever hereafter, and would go where such punishment! was not inflicted. Sentimentality is out of place when rogues and rascals are to be dealt with. The Workman says: "The exactness of justice, as provided for and guarded in the Mossaic economy, would be a wholesome study for us mod erns. I be cu'prii was to oe aeau wun wuu great care not to punish him excessively. He was not to ha?e a stroke too many, and to truard strains that he was to have 'forty Btrioea save one' thirty-nine lashes. But tnis n eitinz. say ine sensiuve moueroa, was barbarous Set us down, then, as ono ot the barbarians Moses is good company enough for us. The penitentiary is an imported institution. But for the advent of carpet-baggers there would have been no each penal institution to feed and clothe the negroes and give them comfortable quarters. It costs the workinor tax-pav9ra too much. It i-t t mentioned in the Legislature that it costs $6,000 to py the Board of Di rectors. It is a Republican institu- tion. ! WHOLESALE TRADE.! We suppose that the Carolina Cen tral will certainly be extended to Asheville. A bill has passed the House. Tho Aebeville correspondent of the Charleston Nexos and Courier notes this, and says: " f j "There will be. by and by. when the Asheville & Spartanburg road will carry freich'. a decided com tetit ion between Wii mington and ubarieston lor tne iraae or this section. As it is now nearly everything is bouebt from matketa oorthof Mason and Dixon's line, but in the near future it is thouzit tbal these two Southern seaport will attract the attention of Western Caro lina merchants. The Question of compart live excellence of tbe Southern and North ern markets, together with a comparison of freight rates, would be interesting reading to merchants here; and If Charleston can compete wiib New York and Baltimore, n is thought that tbe commercial intimacy so long noted icr between ibis section sea tne 'City by the ta' may be craduaiiy tsian liahed. Application has jnst been made (n the Legislature to charier the Asheville & Greenville (S.U.) Railroad. There is thougnt to be no difficulty la securing the bul cbar teriog this road . It will be an extension of the road from Augusta to Greenville and has for us ultimate terminus KnoKviiie, Tennessee, reaching thit city by a route not yet surveyed, but leading most likely down the French Broad river. ( ' . . . .-. 1 We note this because! it concerns Wilmington. The merchants of our city must make up their minds to CJiupele with Charleston and Balti more and Richmond and NorfoU. They must put their canvassers in the field and keep them there. !. Every branch of business must be repre sented. If Wilmington is to com pete and draw trade from Wcttrn Carolina and prevent it from all g- " . I ! ! ing to other to ne, it mut not only compete in groceries and dry good and shoes but in hardware, in crock - ' . . i j . . ery, in ready-made clothing, in drug", in furniture, and hollow ware and so f ' on. Merchants coming to wuming- ton ran8t be abe to Doyj a lne7 nee-1 at lowest possible figures. Charleston nor even Baltimore must be able to undersell. It cm be done and most be done if Wilmington is to avail it self of the routes of tratno that aro being constantly opened. I A merchant on the wharf, who travels much and is successful, said to us within a week or two tbat there was an opening in Wilmington for several branches of wholesale trade. It surprised us, but when we heard what he had to say we were con- vinoed. - I s Gen. Lord Wolseley concludes bio article in MacmiUan'8 Magazine with this just and noble econinm: "Whpn all the angry feelings aroused bv secession are buried I believe all men will admit that Oen. Lee towered far above all men on either side in the struggle. I believe ho will be regarded not only as the most prominent figure of the Confede racy, but as the great American or the nineteenth century, whose statue is well worthy to stand on an equal pedestal with that of Washington, and whose memory is equally wortnv to be enshrined tn the hearts of all his countrymen. We have not the slightest doubt that history will so write it. . Here 1 a good announcement we find in the Washington letter to the Richmond State: "Ex Congressman Harrison, of Georgia. was to-day appointed Third Assistant Postmaster General in the place of Mr. Hazen, a most offensive Republican. -The salary ir $4,000. This was the last import' ant office in the department that was filled by a itepubitoan." . True Democrats will be glad to see many similar announcements.

Searlet Fever 7"A recent number of the North Carolina Medical Journal contains tbe following in relation to this disease : The vexed Question of the period of safety in the convalescence of scarlet fever, both for the patient ana those wno are un protected by a previous attack, has been bo often discussed that it is hardly new to any of our readers to- be told tbat every case must be iudeed by itself. But it is an ad mitted fact that the disease is communicable by fomites, and the doctor and nurse must bear tbe odium of occasionally being the means of transporting the poison. But it is with especial reference to tbe introduction of the. disease through the public schools that we wish again to call attention, and to urge that a rigid quarantine be always en forced against infected children, and that care be exercised that the child ba not only isolated at home from the other members of the family, but also that a close observa tion be established to see that every pos sible source of danger shall be cleared away before the child is allowed to mingle again with its schoolmates. Along with these pre cautions is another almost as important, to see that all the children in the family in which a case of scarlatina occurs shall be kept at home until sufficient time has elapsed to convince tbe intelligent physi cian that tbe danger of further infection is passed. - . To the 8pecmc dangers ot scarlet lever is added the increased liability which its in vasion brings to an attack of diphtheria, as a complication, and a further reason why so much caution should be exercised in tbe isolation of tbe infected for a sufficient pe riod to insure complete recovery. There is one other caution to add to this, that all clothing that cannot be disinfected, either by chemical agents or the greater punner, heat, shall be destroyed, nd that tbe pa rents or guardians of the sick shall be charged that the patient shall not be allowed to wear any garment out of tbe sick room tbat has not been made safe by the means which tbe physician shall prescribe. GIG AX TIC ENTERPRISE. Armour, tbe" Great - Bleat nan, to Erect Twelve Cotton Seed Oil IS tile Throaajbont tbe Sontb Capital Ten million Dollars. j ' bt Telegraph to the Morning 8tar. Naw York. March 1. A Galveston spe cial to the Times announces the arrival there of P. D. Armour and his party on their Southern tour, and gives an interview with Mr, Armour with reference to the re port tbat ho and his associates were about to build throughout the South a dozen or more large cotton seed oil mills. Mr. Ar mour fully corroborated this report and gave the reasons for his engaging in tbe new enterprise so widely different from the bUBi ness in which bis fame and fortune were acquired. Mr Armour stated that the use of cotton seed oil in the manufacture of lard and bog products had grown to such an extent in late years that his establish ments alone consumed one-fifth of tbe total cotton seed oil crop of tbe United States. Hecca cotton seed oil was an important item to his firm. Tbe American Cotton Oil Trust Company, a gigantic corporation modeled somewbat after tbe Htindard. Oil Company, by a system of consolidation had acquired the control of about all the cotton seed oil mills in the country and virtually monopolized the article, regulating the out- out and nrine us price upon ourelv arbi trsry grounds. Recently the Trust Com"' pany became a direct competitor of his firm by tbe purchase of the large refinery and packing house of N. K. Fairbanks & Co. and tbe establishment of Washington Butcher's Sons. r "As soon." said Mr. Armour, "as the Trust Company entered my field as a lard producer, 1 resolved to make myself inde pendent of them in tbe matter of cotton seed oil, and this could only be accomplished by erecting oil mills at available ! points throughout the south. j The new Oil Company will organize early next week in Chicago. Armour will be represented at the meeting by his junior partners and associates. The capital stock of tne uompany will be about SIO.000.000. every dollar of which will represent actual property. ! f i - Mr. Armour was emphatic in his declar ation tbat no watering of stock would be tolerated. ! He stated that his firm would hold the controlling interest, and tbat all stockholders' would be consumers of the oil product. In fact, it is the Intention of the new Company to sell their oil to stock holders only. - ' - j Mr. Armour's associates in the gigantic undertaking comprise all of the leading soap manufacturers in the united tttites, including J. a. Kirs & Oo . Chicago. Twelve i of the largest cotton seed oil mills in tbe world will be erected immedi ately, and equipped in time to grind the seeu or ine. growing cotton plant. As to tbe location of these great mills Mr. Ar mour said four cities had thus far been de termined on, viz t Memphis, Atlanta. New Orleans and Houston, Texas.- The other eight have been selected, but some details must be perfected before announcing their aennue location. - . - The Times correspondent has reason to believe that Texas will capture three of the new muis, Arkansas two and Alabama and Missouri one each. ? 1 i - CMOs and Fever.

The presiding officer presented to the Senate a message from the President in response to a resolu tion in reference to'lhe seizure and sale of the American schooner . Rebecca at Tam il co; and to the resignation of tbe Minister tn Mexicnrl JacksonV statin? that it is not deemed ''compatible with public Interests" to - communicate the correspondence m either case at present Mr. Brown submitted remarks on tne subject of tbe message. He stated the facts in connection with tbe seizure of the Re becca in 1884. The claim for indemnity had dragged ' its slow coil through three years of diplomatic correspondence without redress. ' It. was - tjfme that the American Minister should make earnest and vigorous demands for restitution; and that was the view taken of the subject by the late Minister Jackson.' He intimated that that had been one of the causes of Jackson's resignation. Jackson believed that American citizens had been imprison ed and shamefully robbed of their property in a Mexican port, and that the robbery had been committed with the aid and pre tended authority of the local Mexican Court j tU':-;- v At the: request of tbe presiding officer; Mr. Brown yielded the floor, , temporarily, for the Naval Appropriation , bill, which ha J just been received from the House, and it was read tbe first timer The Nsval Appropriation bi 1 having been presented, its second reading was ob iected to bv Mr. Edmunds, who stated his reasons for doing o. He complained of thu great and unwarranted delay on tbe pirt of tbe House in sending to the 8enate tbe ereat appropriation bills, and an nounced his settled determination not to have them railroaded through the Senate The Senate should have the necessary time to give full consideration to them, and so should the President The bill in reference to the fishery troubles had not yet been passed finally, and if Congress were to ad journ without having made aome pro vision on the subject, it would ba the duty of the President to call the new Congress in extra session. The Inter state Commerce Commissioners had for some reason or other not been appointed, and he did not see. in this condition ot things, that any undue bate should be made about the ap- nronriation bills, or that the Senate should be coerced from ita wise and well-ordered rules of business. He asked that the Com mttteo on Appropriations should make a ttttesent as to the condition of business. Statements were thereupon made by Sectors Hale and Allison, showing the obstacles thrown in the way of legislation bv the House, and intimating their opinion of the impossibility of getting through with the necessary business of legislation before noon on the 4th of March. After 1 2 o'clock, upon motion of Mr. Blair the House Labor Arbitration bill was taken up and passed without amendment. Upon motion of Mr. Blair, the House bill to prevent the employment of convict or alien labor upon public buildings or public works or in preparation of 'material for public buildings or public works, was taken up and without discussion or amend ment wat passed. :. Udou motion of Mr. Plumb tbe House bill to provide for the adjustment of land grants heretofore made by Congress and re maining unadjusted was taken up and at ter the i adoption of sundry amendments was passed : A conference was ordered UDon it. I Upon motion of Mr. Miller, the Pleuro pneumonia bill was taken up. Upon' tbe motion made by Mr. Dawes to reconsider, tbe vote by which Mr. Edmunds' substitute was last week adopted, the vote stood 30 to 23; bo the motion to reconsider was carried. Mr. Edmunds' substitute was then rejected yeas 21, nays 29 Mr. Ed munds', substitute appropriated a round amount' of $1,000,000 to ba expended un der the d rcction of the President in extir pating contagious cattle diseases'. The original bill was tbej before the Senate Mr. i Vest j offered an amendment re- Quiring the assent of Slate authorities be fore tbe money csn be expended Lost 24 to 26. I Mr. Butler commented upon the remark able change! of votes on Mr Edmunds' substitute; jt being adapted last Friday and rejected to-day. Ho supposed there must have. -1 been a caucus order on tbe subject. He took it for granted tbat me senator irom w xors (Hiller) bad not the thghtest idea of the bill be coming a law. This was a little by-play. tie supposed tbe object was to catch votes in the i Northwest. .He had no objection as the Senate has nothing else to do to having the ' record mada up," and as a piece of instructive literature on the subject he asked to have the clerk read the minorf ty report in the House on the Pleuro pneumonia bill- Mr. Miller objected. "Then I will indulge the Senate,' said Mr. Butler, "by reading it myself, with somewhat more deliberation perhaps, than the clerk woulAJiave read it. He there upon; proceeded tv read very slowly and deliberately tbe printed report referred to; bis principal object being apparently con sumption of timo. v In the course of tbe reading Mr. Cullom suggested that as the Senator did not seem to be a very good reader the document should be sent to the clerk's desk . But as Mr. Butler was flat tering himself, besaid, that be was doing remarkably well, except that perhaps he might be reading too rapidly for tbe Sen ator from Illinois, be would continue what he had begun. And he did so He de dined to n ld to any interruption or sug gestion on 1 the part of Mr. Miller, who twice essayed to put an end to this slow, relentless method of retaliation, and he read on for a Btreich of over anhour. At half iast four he reached the end of the document acd told tbe Senators that if they would read It in the iiecord to morrow they would find it very interestingand would be well repaid. He believed that the clamor about the bill bad been raised for the pur pose of extracting from the Treasury py for these cattle The bill in his opinion violated every principle of the Constitu tion i . The power given to the commission era was the most monstrous and dangerous ever conferred on any three men in the United States. . . Mr. Van Wyck renewed his amendment extending the application of the. bill to the swine-plague and cholera snd other con tagious diseases among swine. It was adopted, and the bill was passed yeas 32, nays 19. ! Mr. Edmunds, front the conference com mittee on tbe bill reporting fisheries, made a long report as to the difficulties existing in the conference, and which prevented an agreement. : The irreconcilable point of difference between the managers on the part ot the two houses is reported to be the insistance on the part of tbe House mana gers to add to the scope of the Senate bill the further provision that in case of injuri ous treatment to American vessels in British North American waters, it shall be within the competence of (he President to stop in tercouree absolutely, not only by water but by land thus cutting off continuous move ment of railway trains from the British provinces ; to any -part of the United State and in part reciprocally from the Lrnited. states to the British dominions. The Senate managers had felt it to be their duty to aeciine to go to tnat extent. The 8ubiect was temporarily droDned. and: on motion of Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, the Senate bill to prohibit the mailing of news papers ana otner periodicals containing lot tery advertisements ; was taken up and passed.. 1 -- ;--:l ,-: After a secret session of twenty minutes the benate adjourned.

March 1. While the Jour nal of yesterday was being read, Mr. Ed munds had three occasions, proving that he was still determined to insist on the reg ular and orderly transaction of; business. and not to yield to any effort to hurry up the "proceedings. ' First, - - Mr. i Cameron moved to dispense with the reading of the Journal, and then Mr, Hale asked leave to Interrupt the reading, in order to have tne Naval Appropriation bill referred to the Committee on Appropriations, and again Mr. Sherman moved to dispense with the further reading of the Journal, to all of Which propositions Mr. Edmunds objected; and so tbe reading of the Journal was pro ceeded with, - occupying twenty minutes time.- r i Mr. Hoar, from the Committee on Privi leges and Elections, reported back the cre dentials of Senator Stockbridge. j of Mich., and Turpie, of Ind 4 together with the Erotest of the two Houses of the Indiana legislature in the latter case, and moved tbat tbev be placed on file and the commit tee discharged from their further consid ers" ion.

All the pension bills on the calendar (57 in number) were passed, the time occupied bc- iug just twenty-five minutes, i : Mr. Hall, from the Committee 'on Appro priations, reported back the Naval Appro priation bill with amendments. It was or dered printed and placed on the calendar. A conference was ordered on the Consu lar and Diplomatie bills and Senators Alli son, 'Hale and Beck were appointed confer ees on the part of tbe Senate. The confer ence report on the River and Harbor bill was presented by Mr. : McMillan . and ex plained. The bill as it came from the House originally appropriated, he said, $7,463,000; as it passed the Senate it ap propriated $10,620,000; as reported from tbe conference committee, it appropriated $9 913.800. The details of the changes were set out in a paper which he sent to the clerk's desk and had read, Mr. Edmuods moved to postpone further consideration until to-morrow, in order that he might have time to examine one or two items which had attracted his notice. The motion was defeated yeas 6. nays 57. The reading of tbe bill was then com menced, but it was interrupted for the fol lowing proceedings: - I Mr. Piatt inquired of Mr. Hoar the mean ing and effect of the report made this morning from the Committee on Privileges and Elections in the case of Senator-elect -Turpie, of Indiana. I Mr. tloar replied that under the general rule of the Senate the functions of that committee expire with this Congress, and all its papers are returned to the Senate and placed on file. If the credentials of Tur pie had been retained by the committee without action until noon of the 4th of March, under the operation of that general ru!e there would have then happened what had happened this morning; that is, tbe papers would have gone on the files of the Senate and . the committee Would have been discharged from their further consideration. Tho only I alternative to that courie would,,, pave been an assumption by the committee or by the Senate at the present session, fo deal with credentials of a gentleman claiming to be a Senator-elect before the time bad arrived for the beginning of bis term and before he had presented himself . The Senate was a continuing body ; and it Was therefore pos sible tout it migat be within its constitu tional power to determine in advance, the right of a Senator to his seat; but it would be a violation of all constitutional prece dents, and it would be, in this judgmeat, a violation of the s nse of justice and pro priety of the Senate and of the American people The effect,, therefore, of the re port was simply to remand to tue action of tbe Senate (to be taken after tbe 4th of March) without pniudice; without being in tbe least affectedly any action now on any question which any person might see fit to raise. That was all. No prejudice for. no prejudice against any person who mieht conceive himself entitled to a seat in the Senate hereafter would, arise! or had risen, in consequence 01 tbe action of the com mittee or of tbe Senate this morning. m.r. luimuoas. nirom the Judiciary Com mittee, reported back the House bill re moving the political disabilities of Thomas a Nally, of Virginia.

The report states that the Senate increased the item in the House bill to a sum aggregating $2,150,000. This was reduced in conference to $1,598,580. The Senate added twenty nine new items, aggregating $1,013,500, which were re duced in conference to $857,500.

Under the head of increase of the Navv the Committee recommends strik ing out tbe House provision for the swift double-bottomed f steel , cruisers, and for four eun boats: all to cost, -exclusive of armament $4,950,000. and the sub' stiiution of two new. sections i pro vld ne -for six protected cruisers with a speed of not less than 20 knots, to cost; exclusive of armament, not more than nine million dollars, and appropria tine tbat amount: also, appropriating for armament for such vessels $2,880,000: also. aooropriatine six . millions for heavily armored vessels. or floating batteries, or rams, for coast and harbor defence; also, appropriating $720,000 for light draught gun boats; also, appropriating $600,000 for torpedo boats, and fbUU.UUU ror torpedoes; and $l;800.000 for armament of those ves sels, i- - F ' - -"N- If . - Mr. Gray questioned the policy of the provision requiring one of the six steel cruisers to be built on or near the coast of 1 he Pacific Ocean ! and two of them on or near the coast of tbe Gulf of Mexico.! This was only trammelling the Secretary of the Navy and interfering with the general ob ject proposed. He was in favor of the ac complishment of what the section proposed namely, the creation of six swift availa ble and efficient cruisers and he therefore moved to strike out that provision Mr. Hale, who has charge of the bill, 8ta ted that when the ten cruiser bill was up some weeks aeo a similar provision had been adoDted. after full discussion. On mo tion of tbe Senator from Alabama. He had believed then and believed now, that one or two of those vessels could be built4 and built speedily, on i the Pacific coast. Tbe Committee on Appropriations had embod ied those features in this amendment, tak tog a proportional number,;, as tne wnoie number bad been cut down, and instead of siviuetwo to tbe Pacific coast has given one. and instead of giving three to the Gulf of Mexico had given two. leaving three to tbe Atlantic coast. Mr. Morgan argued the necessity of the government having one or more construc tion yards on the Uull coast to wnicn war vessels might go for necessary repairs. He believed that for $100,000 a construction yard could be established on the Alabama river, on the Mississippi, or at f ensacola, as good as John Roach a yard at Chester. If a ship builder having a contract for one or two of these vessels should conclude to build them, for instance at Mt. Vernon, Ala., be would find there iron, coal and timber. There was no place in tbe United Slates where these three great elements of cost and construction of ships could be as sembled cheaper than at Alt. Vernon arse nal. Such contractor would then be pre pared to build ebipi of commerce or war ship there and to repair ships. He thought it only fair and right tbat the people of the Gulf States should have an opportunity to embark ia that business, and it was for the purpose of secunng that opportunity that he had proposed to have the contracts bo given out that .ship builders might have vessels built on the Gulf coast. air. Beck said tbat no one would accuse him of having any protectionist tendencies, and yet he favored the proposition, i He be lieved mat wun tne developments going on in that section bids for two of these vessels would come from the South. Mr.. Whittborne said he would vote for the amendment as submitted by the com mittee; and especially did he favor that part of it criticised by ice Senator from Delaware (Gray) i i ! I' L air. Maxey favored the amendment re ported by the committee. He said that with an overflowing treasury, with no hope of red Oct ion of taxation, with an absolute necessity to empty tbe over-gorged treaa ury vaults, and to put the money there into circulation, there never was, and never would be, a better time for providing, by law, for' tbe common defence.: There should be at least one great navy yard established on tbe Gulf coast, where the best iron, steel, live oak and long-leaved pine were at hand. ! . j n Mr. Blair spoke of the fact that the chief burden which mankind had to bear! was the result of a tendency to war. If the mil lenium was not an' absolute myth. the American nation might set to tho world, for the first time . in ! history, an example - of an effort - to settle controversies between nations without a resort to the destructive art of butchery. It was. therefore, with great reluctance thaf he voted for tills calling for enormous ex penditures purely in contemplation of fu ture conflicts. ' He believed that this nation was great enough and strong enough to oery tne possibility 01 any conflict by ap pealing to the world's, sense of justice, and that refusing from this day forth to engage in warfare, the principle might be initia ted which, if it would not produce absolute peace, would result in the elimination of wars irom among civilized nations. While on this subject he would make use of some remarks which he had prepared for another occasion. . - . ..- j- j Mr. Hale lam very desirous of listening to the remarks which the Senator says he has prepared for another occasion, but will not tne senator give way and let the Senate pass tbe bill.

Mr. mil, of Illinois, favored the senate bill, which he said was broad and exactly responsive in its retaliatory provisions, and clothed the President with great powers.
