A short, thin gentleman, with black huir and whiskers, tinged with gray, sat in Manager Steele's private olhVe at the Battery Park late yesterday afternoon. That was Jay Gould. The man who can make or wreck at will a railroad, whose wealth reaches into many millions, who tan, when he tries, "bull" or "hear" Wall street, run ning stocks up or down at pleasure, who could if he would, endow institutions that would give him fame everlasting and make his name blessed by future genera tions. He was at the Battery Park and had an interview with Tun Citizen. Mr. Gould talked freely on the subjects brought up and in a low and somewhat peculiar tone discussed with einml inter est the impressions of his trip and his idea of the force bill, all the while dang. ling a pair of steel-rimnied eyeglasses, in a deliberate, precise way, as if cunming every word spoken. W hat 1 have seen Horn my ear win dows." said Mr. Gould, "has but con firmed the favorable impressions which I had already tonued ol the south, and ol the rapid development and excellent management ol the southern railroads. "The trip from Salisbury was enjoyed ever so much by myscll and party. The dav was a bcautilul one tor such a trip The mountain division of the Western North Carolina road is indeed wonder ful and a magnificent piece of railroad architecture. The scenery along this part of the route was almost as fine as any I have ever seen. Getting down to more serious matters Mr. Gould talked of the recently deceased federal elections or force bill. "My views on that matter," he said emphatically, "arc, 1 think, pretty generally known. 1 forcible speech, and paid a glowing tribute to Western Nortn Carolina aim Asheville. Hon. Richmond Pearson then proposed Mr. lav Gould in a happy speech of some length, referring to him as one whose name was known wherever the language of civilization is spoken, or a ear wheel traverses the rails. Mr. Gould arose to disclaim all speech- making talents, and in quite a conversa tional and good humored manner related a story of an effort of his m that line, when lie was a youth "looking tor some thing to do." The result of that elfort de cided him to abandon spcechmaking. Speeches were afterwards made by Mr. Sidney Dillon, General Thomas, Mr. Pel- ton, Mr. Metlee, nr. liattie, Mr. we.Na mce, Maj. Waddell, Mr. Collins and others. Ml the guests expressed themselves as big hi v pleased with the climate and scen ery of Asheville, and predicted a wonder ful development of the city and surround ings. High encomiums were expressed privately, of the elegance of the bannuet and the service, and of the enjoy ableness of the occasion. The Battery I'ark man agement under Col. John II. Steele won high praise for its part in the affair. Mr. Inman and his distinguished party occu pied rooms last night at the hotel and left for the southwest this morning, by siecial train.

Alexander's Scheme-Ashevllle's Delegates Return. Messrs. Geo. S. Powell, T. S. Morrison and X. A. Reynolds returned from Ral eigh this morning, where they went to attend a meeting of representative busi ness men of the state, and to appear be fore the legislature to ask a repeal of the purchase tax law. The meeting was held at 12 o'clock Tuesday, in the mayor's office at Ral eigh Chas. E. Johnson, of the Raleigh board of trade, was made chairman, and Geo. S. Powell secretary. Several speeches were made against the merchant's purchase tax, among the speakers being Messrs Powell and Rey nolds, and the following resolution fav 01 ing the repeal of the law was adopted: "Resolved, That as representatives of the mercantile interests ol the state, we would respectfully submit to the joint finance committee of the general assem bly ol North Carolina that we regard the present law taxing merchants under Schedule II of the revenue act as unjust, unlair and uncipial in its operations, and we therefore earnestly ask its repeal." Cnpt. a. B. Alexander, of te Farmers alliance, also made a strong speech in fa vor of the repeal of the law. At o clock I ucsday afternoon the merchants appeared before the finance committee in the hull of the house. Sev eral speeches favoring the reneal of the law were made, one ol the speakers being Mr. l'owell. Mr. Powell is of the opinion that there would be no trouble 111 having the law repealed if there was any way of supply ing the deficiency in the state's revenue made bv such repeal. 1 he lollowing resolution was drawn up yesterday by the merchants who were 011 their ret urn from Raleigh: Resolved, 1 hat the delegates from the merchants of Asheville, Winston, Char lotte and Salisbury respectfully commend ind endorse lion. h. B. Alexander s plan of replacing the revenue that would be lost bv a repeal of the merchants pur chase tax by requiring an assessment ol real estate at something- like its reul value." The resolution was signed by Geo. S. Powell, Ilinshaw & Mcdniris, R. K. Crawford, W. Smithdeal and A. 11. Hoyden. with a pleasant "good-bye"' am resumed last night. his conversation with Col. Steele.
