And by the way Senator JJansom's
unanimous election, ou last Monday,
as Presidout pro tern, of the Sonatj
Was a very graceful and proper rec
ognition ot his long and distinguished
services in that body. It is tbe first j
linio that a North Carolinian has
been thus honored since Senator
Willio P. Manguin held tbat uflk-o
iioarly fifty years ago.
In the House tbo empty seats and
-deserted dusks row alter row un--occupied
were a sight shameful to
see. Uut ot the Jjo memuers lin-ro t e will criticise and condemn what
wero barely 25 in their toils, arid lever we Ibink deserves condom na
yet tbo ponding question, the iQeas-1 lion, and approve and applaud wbat
.nro under consideratior, wns the over il may do lor the good id the
Carlisle currency bill, the most im
portanl tbat could now engage their
utlention. It is true that a vuy
dry and dull speech was being made
by a republican, Hingley of Maine,
yet every member should have been
in his seat. It certainly tie tracts
from one's ideas ol the dignity iind j
..importance of Congress, to see in
lOth branches such scenes row at
or row of empty scats and deserted,
, . . ,
desks, indicating such u shameful '
.disregard ol and indifference to their
responsible duties. And this neglect .
of duty is not confined to any ono
party nor to both of the old parlies
but mirabilediirtu oveu tbo populists
tho reformeis wero also conspicu
ously absent from their seats. Yes,
ot the four populist Senators and ten
.Representatives there was not a sin
gle, solitary one in bis seat, or ut bis
post of duty !
Even it tbo House should pass the
Carlisle bill, or any other financial
inoasuro, thero is no hope of the
Senate passing it, for oven it every
democratic Sonutor should favor- it
yet tho republicans and populists
would talk it to death, as the Senate
has no rulo for limiting debate.
There are q iile a number ot North

were indebted chiefly for courtesies
to Geu. Cox, Secretary of the Senate,
Josephus Daniels, E.-q., Chief Clerk
of tho Interior Department, and W.
W. Scott, Esq, law clerk in the
Treasury Department. It isrumor
ed that tbo republicans and populist
-will not combine iu organizing the
next Senate, but tbat tbo republi
cans and democrats will divide tin
offices equally between themselves
aud leavo tho populists out.
We much enjoyed an interview
with tho Hon. Samuel F. Philips,
who was appointed Solicitor-General
ever twenty years ago and has re
sided at Washington ever since. He
w well romemborod by our older
readers, having regularly attended
all the courts ot this (Chatham)
county for many yoars before be
went to Washington. Ho inquired
very kindly after his old friends
and acquaintances iu Chatham, and
recalled many pleasant reniiniscen
ecs ot the '-oldon time".

Tbo officers of tbo Legislature
were uoiuiiiated at separate caucuses
ot tlie populists and republicans held
on Tuesday nigbt. Instead ol bold
lug a Joint caucus, as was at first
contemplated, tbe populists beld

Iu Washington eity they tell the Re
publicans that they had to use tbe
Populist ono liuio to pull tbe cbo-t
nuts out of the tire, but that the
Populists will all come with tbeni iu
lS'.lli. TLe Republican legislators
and h-mlcrs here also arc "feeling
their oats.'' They walk aud talk
like they owned the earth, and are
ouly waiting to pass a bill that will
give them tbe election machinery
and overturn tbe county aud town
governments, to turn arouud aud
openly repudiate their allies.
Some few Populists were disposed
to boast of their victory at first, but
tbey now see tbe Republican pro
gramme is to entrench themselves so
they need not depend upon a Popu
list crutch to walk with iu 1896
Those who have been able lo see

Students Mobbing Graves.

developed here as a result of inveati

are being indulged iu by students of
colleges iu this city. The recent
burning of the Iudiaua Medical Col
lege, when twenty subjects were losf,
has created a dernaud and agents
have been secured in tbe surrounding
towns to keeptrack of burials. With
in tbe past week two corpses have
been recovered by fiiends in pick
liug vats of tbe local colleges, and
the excitement is so intense that tbe
residents of suburban towns are
forming vigilance committees to pre
