NATOK fflORCJAN AND ELECTION. HIS KK- We do hope that Senator Morgan,' of Alabama, will be re-elected by a i i majority He is an able, well e uipped statesman, true w mo S uth, and true to the people. There ie a is not a readier debater in the Senate d but few men in Congress equal h m m natural sonny auu auuuui isuments. lie is a very strong Low . 1 T 1 i n . n P Tariff advocate. He is opposed to the surplus daily accumulating, and earnestly advocates its reduction; He is no Free Trader, for in all the South there is not a paper or politician, so far jas we know, who favors doiug away with the custom houses. That is"hat Free Trade means to allow all foreign goods to come in free of all 'duty or tax. J Senator Morgan is a cool-headed statesman and sound Democrat. Pie is I a staunch defender of States s and Constitutional limita- iotas, and is the unfaltering . enemy f that system that taxes heavily ten ion for the enriching of one man. l has served Alabama with con- picuous ability and fidelity, lie as resisted all Constitutional en- achments, we think, without ex- tion, and has opposed measures that met with favor even among Democrats in the Congress 'which he regarded as unsound and dangerous. I He richly merits the gratitude and confidence of all Democrats in Ala bama. His election again to the Sen ate wonld be a proper recognition of his distinguished abilities and unde viating devotion to the interests of bis people. We agree in full with pur able co temporary, the Augusta ; Crazette,' in the opinion thus ex pressed: . flUe is one of the ablest men that ever represented Alabama in the Senate, and he la in absolute accord with the great moss of hid nAtiatitiipnta nn tha tariff niiMtinn Ik The truth is, in calm and dispassionate 'statement, in insight into deep public ques tions, in mental acumen and logical skill, in knowledge of constitutional law, and in all else that may appertain to the science of statesmanship, he is without a superior in the Senate of the United States, or out of it." - In the New York Sanitarian for - . ne we find copied the vital statis- :s of several North Carolina towns. e give them, without in any par ticular vouching for their correctness: "Wilmington: population whites, 9,000; colored, 13.500 23.400. Death rates: 14 5; colored, 18.7: 17. "Charlotte: population white. 6.000; colored, 5,000 11.000. Death rates: white, 38 0; colored. 45.6:41.5. "Asheville: population white, 4,641; colored, 2,6077,248. Death rates: white, 51.7; colored, 50.6:51.3. "Durham: population white, . 3,000; colored. 2.500 5,500. Death rates: white, 16.0; colored, 14.4: 15 3. Doubtful re turns. "FayettevilIe: population--white, 2.500; colored, 1,800 4,300. Death rates: white, 14.4; colored, 30.0: 19 5." j It will be seen that the reports make Wilmington have a fine show ing. If the Durham and Asheville reports can be trusted tha most re markable and hitherto unheard of exhibit is made of a less mortality among the negroes than among the whites. ; I The Star expressed itself as hav ing but little confidence in Republi can Judges in discussing constitu tional questions. An extract from! tpe address of Justice Miller 3t the Philadelphia Centennial we copied from the Richmond Dispatch setm- ed to justifv our f ears. But another extract is so decidedly in favor of the reserved rights of sovereign! Commonwealths I that it affords us pleasure to read and copy. Justice' Miller said: j I i "The just and equal observance ' of the rights of the States, and of the General Government, as defloed by the present! Constitution, is as necessary to the perma nent prosperity of our country, and to its existence for another csntury, as it has been for the one whose close we are now1 celebrating." I Men who are weakening in their belief in States!

A merchant in New York writes ui on the 24th of September, thankim us for our editorial on "MrL Davii and His Enemies." We sunbose th writer is a Southern man. He write to the point concerning that class o editors (who cannot appreciate sucl a pure and lofty character as Jeffei son Davis." He thinks mehain thi South wbo "abuse him desefVe the contempt of all who love tjie cause for wbioh we fought and suffered so much." -: Such sentiments are very general in Wilmington, andj we have no doubt, throughout North (Carolina. Mr. Davis commands the unfaltering aim juii esteem oi our peop e. A foreign j born citizen of ' Wil- mington always bets on the: Yankees on general principles and wins. . He says Americans can beat tne world in any thing and he bets on Amerjw cans every time without? inquiring farther as 'to merits of contestants. 1WR. CARLISLE H it IS Vts.liM.vu- 1 ' ,.: RACY. :. Mr. Carlisle has written a paper fo the Forum fori October that will be widely consalted. Coming from the ablest Commoner and the best poised statesman on the Democratic side in the Congress, what be says of the Democratic party will be read with attention. Mr. Carlisle is op posed to land ! monopoly and com mends the present Administration fop its manner ! in' dealing with, the public domain. He says: j f The foundations of the existing system; under which immense landed estates have been acquired by foreign and domestic cor porations and syndicates, were laid by the Republican party, and the fraudulent prac ttces which have despoiled the public do main of Its most fertile and valuable sec tions were begun and continued while Re publican officials alone were charged with the duly of enforcing the laws and pro tecting the interests of the Government and people." - j. r r; "I The present Democratic Adminis tration has done much in reclaim- inn- millions of acres that naq oeen literally "fooled away." I Mr. Carlisle discusses with B 'I !. clear- J ness'and force the reduction of the revenues ana taxation.; vv e quoio f ! 1 i t again: (. :;- M T and taxation.! We -The only debatable question is, in what manner shall the revenue and taxation be reduced? Upon this question the two po litical parties are divided, although there are some Republicans who are inclined to take the Democratic view and some Dem ocrats wbo favor the Republican policy. It is clear that it is possible to reduce the rev enue without reducing the taxation, and equally clear that it is possible to reduce taxation to a certain extent without reduc- ng tbe revenue. - Of the two plans those of the two arties he much prefers that of his wn party. He says: j "To reduce both revenue and taxation at ho same time is the problem now present d, and tbe true Democratic solution is to ibolish. as far as practicable, the taxes on the actual necessaries of life and oa the raw materials used in ttunr production and to revise, simplify and in proper cases reduce he duties on the other articles em raced in the tariff schedules The rime object should be to provide a sum- lent revenue for the support of the Gov- rnment at the lease possible expense and nconvenience to the people who pay the axes, and to impose the heaviest burdens pon those who are able to indulge in the so of luxuries rather than upon those who onsurue only tbe common necessaries' of life. The Republican solution is to repeal all the lutein taxes upon whiskey, beer and manufactured tobacco, and retain a high rate of taxation on the food and fuel land clothing of the people, and on the building matt rials and implements of la bor." . .- ;j We may have occasion to present other points made by the able Ken tucky statesman. J j THE OfcSTER BUSINESS. . ' j The Star has so often discussed the oyster business of our State that it is almost anj old story. And still it is a very important question for our people. If properly '.developed it can be made a vaet source: of i . i i . wealth to the people of the oyster section. The God of nature has so constructed Isjorth Carolina as ' to give a vast area well adapted to the cultivation ofj the oyster. Other States that have none of the advan tages that belong to North Carolina have by j transplanting developed a great industr. Take New York. Its oyster business requires $0,000, 000 of capital and employs 7,000 men. The Legislature appropriated $8,000 to preserve the industry, thorough survey has been made. It is learned' that since 1860, the oyster business has changed. Prior to that time there were only beds of natural growth, but how 60 per cent, is derived from planting. It is now seen that in all tbe Northern waters the natural beds are only valuable for planting purposes. In Rhode Island and Connecticut the industry has been immensely developed and by planting. Rhode Island derived $100,000 from sales of oyster land, and now it has a yearly revenue of $8,000 or more. In Connecticut the industry has increased three hundred per cent, in six years. Planting is relied npon. j j j I North Carolina is singularly favor ed. If the Eastern people will give more attention to the oyster industry and the vast area adapted to oyster cultivation is utilized, in a few years the product of the State would go up from a few tens of thousands of dol lars to millions of dollars. We think Connecticut's oyster business is now some two millions or more, and yet the oysters were brought from the Chosapeake Bay and planted in Con necticut waters. Mr. J. II. Campbell is to charge of the Macon Telegraph. says: ! . . . "I regard the present tariff rates as un necessarily high and shall support the President and the great body of the Dem ocratic party in their efforts to reduce the same. A gradual reduction that will not seriously Interfere with manufacturing in terests seems lo be the reasonable course. I shall not forget that the great agricultural interests of the country must be considered intrenching a just conclusion." j ; Other -Protection papers in the aoutb would , do well f'to draw in their horns." I . ' f A letter from Mr. M J. Battle. leading farmer and man of educa tion near Whitaker's, in a recent let ter eays:! "Let me say; that no one enjoys the fruits of your well stored brain and prolific pen more than I." The Signal Corps station at Kittv Hawk reports schooner Little Charley, Ireland, from Beaufort, N. C, for Baltimore, with fish oil, went ashore on the beach near Oregon Inlet Life caving station at 10 p. m., Sept. 23d. Crew of three men saved. j " ; A Remedy la Kidney Affection. "My kidneys were so affected I have been compeuea to get up as much as ten times in one night. I had pains in my side, back and left shoulder, and when down could hardly rise, I was unable to bend my body without great pain. I tried Simmons Liver Regulator and my condition has im proved so much that I hardly ever feel any or my old trouble." VT. Johksok, t Express Agent,-Macon, Oa. WNlward, M I 7 . . The people) Asheville, and of Buncombe county generally, - are greatly aroused " over two important railroad enterprises; one, the connec tion of Asheville with: Knoxville, and the other the extension of the Caro lina Central Railroad from its present terminus to Asheville. The thriving mountain: city was the scene of an im mense meeting last Saturday,' and everybody seemed to be 1 in favor of subscribing liberaily. towards build ing the roads. Four, hundred thou sand dollars is the whole amount ask ed for, and it looks very much as if Buncombe county will give it. hundred thousand dollars is amount proposed for the Carolina Central extension.! . . j : j In a letter read' at the meeting from President John M. Robinson he said: "I do not think fhat I can say more than if a railroad is bjail't between Asheville and Knoxville, that the Carolina Central Railroad will bs ex tended to Asheville, with propel aid from the people pi Asheyille. I think the amount named ($100,000) would be all that would be1 jequired."" '. General Manager . J olin u. winaer wrote: "1 shall; look with a great of your deal of anxiety to the i result meeting." - J It is needless to nection between say that the eon- Rutherfordton i and Asheville is of the highest importance to Wilmington. And, moreover,! it is a connection that may be regarded as a certainty in the near future. . j "Westward the Star of Empire takes its way." ButJ all the same, East ward to Wilmington much of the' trade of the Great West will take its way. . j - ) T - . Give us the Cape j Fear & Yadkin Valley extension arid the Carolina Central connection! with Asheville, and then we may talk about a sure enough, veritable, liVe; "boom." A Baay Scene, j I ; ' j i A busy scene; canj be witnessed at the wharves of the Carolina Central Railroad, where the Jfingllsn. steam- ship Nicosian is discharging and re- ceiving cargo, iron rails are landed on the From two hatches being taken out and i wharf alongside, while on the other side of the vessel com pressed cotton is going aboard from lighters. ' j ' j The iron is f Jr the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley R. ' Rj Co. It amounts to 1,500 tons, and pays an import duty of $25,500. About jtwo-thirds of the cargo has been discharged. From the Plain View Section. Mr. C. W. Wiggins reports that in the Plain View jsection the crops are much better than they were last year and that farmers j generally are in good spirits. 1 j ! -The stables belonging to Rev. Jos. Evans, pastor of jthc Presbyterian church at that place, were destroyed by fire last Wednesday night. Two horses, two buggies and harness, and a quantity of oats, jcorn and fodder were also consumed. Th& fire was the"1 work of j an incendiary, and a colored man named Wesley McKoy is charged with jthej crime. He has been arrested and jailed at Lumber- ton, awaiting trial. Small Steam Yacnla. ! A recent ruling of the Treasury De partment in regard to small steam yachts, says: ,' I' The hull and boiler of every yacht, or other small Craft of like character, propelled by steam, without regard to size of vessel, provided it can be used in navigation, must be inspected, the boiler being subjected to the hydro static test required by law. The pi lot and engineer must also be licensed, and such other provisions of the law complied with as may be applicable to the particular vessel under examination. A license as "special engineer" for small steam yachts or pleasure ves sels will be granted to any person of good character; who has sufficient ex perience to manage the boiler and machinery safely, i A similar "spe cial license" as pilot for such vessels will be granted to any person of like good character who is familiar , with the navigation! in. which they are to be employed;! understands the pilot rules, and has had sufficient expe rience in handling this or other sim ilar vessels. The master of a yessel in this class does not require license. 8brll-Fun Advertising. In its issue of the 24th, our esteem- ed contemporary the Messenger men tions that it had been selected as one of the two "leading newspapers" of the State in which to print the adver tisement of the Shell-Fish Commis sion. And in its issue of the 28th it again refers to the matter and says: "The Raleigh Wews-Observer awl the Wilmington Messenger are th two papers designated to do the official advertising.' I Very well. . We refer to this matter with no object whatever except to do simple justice to ourselves. The advertising of the Shell-jPi8h Commission was otTered to the Star before it was offered to the Messenger; but the let ter of the Commissioner stated that no appropriation had been made to pay expenses of advertising, and was so discouraerinsr throughout as to future payment, that we decided not to accept the offer. Exports Foreign. . Messrs. Alex. Sprunt & Son cleared the British steamship Everest yester day for Liverpool, with a cargo of 4,700 bales of cotton, weighing 2,227,- 649 pounds and valued at $200,500. Also, the Norwegian barque Dabhne. for London,' Eng., with cargo of 1,500 casks spirits turpentine and 512 bar rels of rosin, alued at $3,000. "Well Said. The Greensboro Daily Workman, copying an article from the Morntng- Star in reference to the Cape Fear & Yadkin yalley Railroad, says j "As a matter of course, if Wilmington shall pull with adequate force the road will come to her. How she can afford to lose so good an opportunity we" cannot see. : All other roads that touch the city are on the way to some other points; and the C. F. & Y. V. proposes to make her the terminus." Sad News, j -1 ; , - A teleeram received here last. nioFiit. from Fayettville brought the pain ful intelligence that Mr. Nathan A. Stedman was so Beriotisly sick that it was feared he might not live through the night. I His two sons, Lieut. -Gov. Stedman and Mr. Frank H. Stedman, leave for Fayettevillethis morning.

Engineer : in charge j of river and harbor im ; provements in this State and South Carolina, returned to his office in this city last Saturday from a visit to New river (the upper Kanawha) in West I Virginia, j The object of his visit was ; to make examination of the! method of running pole-boats and steamboats on mountain streams, where , the fall is two to four feet in shoots of about two hundred and fifty feet, lo see what modifications should be made on the Yadkin in order to open tnat river to similar navigation above Salisbury.! He ascertained that the work could be accomplished with less difficulty on the Yadkin than was encountered on New river. Lieut. Taylor, of the U. S. Engineer Corps, Capt. Bixby's assistant, spent four weeks on the Yadkin,' and has also returned. He was engaged su perintending the work of 'opening a channel-way for light ; draught boats on that river, through Peebles and Hartley's mill dams, so as to make navigation practicable from the railroad bridere near Salisbury, to a point about thirty miles above that place. ' From thence the channel will belopenedto Beattie's Ferry, ten miles further, thus giving steamboat navi gation, fromthe railroad bridge across the Yadkin about six miles from Salisbury, some forty miles. Parties already contemplate building a steamboat to navigate these waters. Items Irom Iduion. A correspondent at Maxton, N. C, gives the following items of news Mr. Jas. B.

There are twenty British steam ships now in the port of Savannah with capacity for 100,000 bales of cot ton. Well, iwe do not envy our sister city her growth and prosperity, but we beg leave to announce that Wil mington is in the procession; and we think that our percentage of increase in cotton receipts and shipments for eign is much greater than that of Sa vannah. Yet, we must confess, it looks mighty healthy to have twenty of the "ocean tramps" in port at one time. Concerning Cholera.. Here is some horse sense ifrom the Philadelphia Record: ; . "The presence in New York Bay a steamship from Marseilles and Naples with Asiatic cholera on board may not, in view of the precautionary measures taken by the quarantine officials, prove to be downright dan gerous; but it ought to stir up the authorities at every port on the At lantic seaboard to increased vigi lance." l! i Eternal vigilance on the part of. the quarantine officials,and.increased energy on the part of the city au thorities.! I "That's the ticket."

That upou this nrst assem blage of the Democratic Convention for the State since the retirement of Mr. Man ning from the Treasury Department, we desire to express our admiration of the wisdom and success which marked bis ad ministration of that department The platform was then read, a follows: The unnecessary Federal taxation of the last fiscal year exceeded one hundred mil lions Unnecessary taxation is unjust tax ation Therefore, tbe Democracy of New York demaLd that Federal taxation be straightway reduced by a sum not less than one hundred millions a year, and also re spectfully urge upon Congreiss that a measure shall be adopted wnicn win. in ice language of the President's inaugural ad dress, "Relieve the people from unneces sary taxation, having due regard to tbe in terests or tbe capital invested ana tne wom ingmen employed in American industries " The taxes to be first leduced or altogether removed are those on imported raw mate rials, which now assist and promote for eign competition with ourselves in our own market, aud prevent or ninaer tne sale or our surplus products in foreign markets.

Many millions of acres of these Upd have been so recovered by the Demo cratic ndministralion and returned to tbe peoi'tk; for the use .of actual settlers. The Democratic party u tbe proved friend of all who have came to our country seeking to become partners in its welfare and citizens obedient to its laws There is in our America bread enough and work enough for all, and the federal laws now on the statute book for the promotion and protection of foreign emigration, do not, in our opinion, if they shall be faithfully exe caled by the proper Federal and State au thorities, require present enlargement or amendment The Democracy of New, York reiterate their support of tbe civil service laws of the Dniu-d States and of tbe State of New York. And of their purpose to uphold them both In view of the radical change in administrative methods which grew out of civil service laws, and differences of opin ion which exist in relation thereto, we deem tbe subject one which might appro priately be submitred to tbe popular vote. Notwithstanding the decided decrease in the ordinary expenditures of government, faithful soldiejsr sailors and their families have been generously remembered, and the annual pension list uuder Democratic con trol shows payments in number and amount largely in excess of those during the years of ll'publican administration.

We oppose all sumptuary laws, need lessly interfering with the personal liber ties and reasonable habits and customs of any portion of our citizens.

Hill, Governor of New York, and pledges to him full. confi dence and support j The platform concludes as fallows: The Democracy of New York approve the administration of Grover Cleveland, President of the United States. It has won the respect and confidence of all citi zens, without regard to party. It has re moved that apprehension of dangers which would attend a change of party in the Fed eral administration which had become a serious obstacle to the maintenance of our system of free government, depending upon ihe popular will. It has brought back honesty and simplicity lo the conduct of af fairs. It has checked the waste of public moneys and insisted upon their devotion to constitutional purposes. It has effected a practical reform of the civil service.: 'It has maintained the national character for justice, and forbearance in dealing with foreign countries.

These payments are in addition to Wednes day's purchases of $11,565,300 4 per cent bonds under the previous Circular. Interest due October 1st on four per cent bonds, amounting to $6,671,000, was paid by the Treasurer to-day without rebate, so it will be seen that the Treasury Department has recently put considerable money into circu lation, and has nearly extinguished the surplus of receipts for the present month. Aboutetwo-thirds of the amount paid for to-day's purchases of bonds was disbursed at New York and Boston, the remainder being paid at .Washington, Philadelphia and-Cincinnati. ; Washington, 8ept. 27. It is learned on good authority that the vacancy on the Su preme Court bench, caused by the death of Justice Woods, is not Jikely to be filled un til after the President's return from his Western and Southern trip. There was a decided falling off to-day in the sale of bonds to the government under the terms of tbe Treasury circular or the 23d inst . which fact officials attribute somewhat to the great interest taken by the business community in the international yacht race at New York. There is very little doubt, however, of the government's ability to secure the $14,000,000 bonds re quired for the sinking fund within the time prescribed by the circular October 8th Over $8,000,000 of the amount has already been secured within five days, and tbvre is less than $6,000,000 to be pur chased within the remaining ten days. The total offerings to-day were) $717,850, of which amount $586,500 were four and a half per cents and $131,350 four per cents. Applications for the prepayment of interest were received to-day on bonds amounting to fis.ouu, making tbe totil to date $0, 959,650. j Washington, Sept. 28. To-day's offer ings of bonds to the government amounted to $253,900, of which 4153.950 were four and a half per cents and $99,950 fours, Acting Secretary Thompson said this af ternoon tbat be could only account for tbe smallness of tbe ollerings on the theory lhat holders of bonds did not care to con vert them into money. It might, how ever, he added, be regarded as a healthy sign as tending to show tbat tbe $211,000, 000 recently put upon the market by ope rations of the Department had averted the possibilities of a panic, and had brough1 about a feeling of greater confidence and security. JLess than five millions are now needed, he said, to meet the sinking fund requirements of foureen million, and there are still nine days within which to obtain that amount according to the term of the circular. Applications for the pre-payment of interest were received to-day on bonds amounting to $175,050, making a total to date of $95,959,650. A PROCLAMAHON.

Crops everywhere in tbe South are above the average, and . the general volume ;of business is increased. Up to a fortnight ago money was easy, and hue collections are some wnat slower now, the movement of crops will improve the financial situation. The industrial situa tion is very active, and manufacturers are crowded with orders, and the largest iron works are running on double time. Kail road building is in active progress in many of the Southern States, and the rolling mills in Chattanooga and Birmingham have orders for months ahead. f "Returns from the Southern cotton mills show important improvements, the eon- sumption of cotton having increased over twenty thousand bales in the past twelve montbs.or nearly five and one naif per cent.

This, however, was counteracted by cables wnicn maoe spot ana futures firm and in lain aemana at Liverpool. There was nothing unusual in the wheat movement on this side. Heavy receipts were reported at Minneapolis ana uuiuin, ana lair receipts at other primary points. . Trading was ac tive but the feeling was unsettled, and con sidering ;ihe strength in corn was rather weas most oi tbe session. There was good Duymg, dui at tne same time the offerings rather exceeded the demand, there being some realizing again. The shorts were evidently pretty well covered for near futures. . Selling was chiefly for May. the weakness being especially marked toward the close. This was a decidedly dull day in corn There were not a few who expected a reac tion ana decline with clearing weather Many hastily concluded that corn had al ready advanced to a dangerous point for investment on the bull side. Others con tended that the advance was but a reaction following tbe break of September 16, and tnat while corn bad but returned to the figures of that date, wheat was from 2 to 3 cents higher than at the middle of the month. At any rate the combination of causes was on the bull side this morning, and corn went up before noon from to 1 per cent, per bushel, and May touched 46. The causes seemed to be these: A good demand by exporters; reports of cutting estimates of the crop for the year down to 1,310, 000, 000 bushels; declining local receipts, which were to-day for the first time -In three weeks less than four hundred cars, a demand for cash corn, which caused September to sell at one moment Jc over October.
