MAY 20. 1801. Million fur Speeches. Despite President Polk's request (half command I to nllianecmen that they re frain from discussing the alliance and its ways in public, there seems to be no fall ing offin the amount of such criticism. "Allinnceman" points out in the Newt and Observer that ns it is "now the boast of our alliance leaders that there will soon be 'in the field' thirty-five thousand lecturers to represent our cause and present its merits to the peo ple" and as each lecturer costs the far mers at least $600 a Tear, the latter will be out of pocket $25,000,000 in a twelve-month. "Allinnceman" continues: "Now the entire cotton crop of the south is valued at about $300, 000,00(1, and thus it appears that one-hltecnth ol it will be actually given away to our canvassing agents. Is it not time to stop and think what our leaders are doing? Thislurge sum of money is paid by the tarmers of the country, and while the contributions of each to the general fund may seem small, the general fund must be growing large, when onlv one class of our officials cau lie paid $21,000,000 u year in the nature of salaries." But sf course if the farmers wish to pur out $21,000,000 in this wav, it is their own aflair. The cause is a good one and education is always to be encour aged, provided it be of the right kind. Moreover, such of the alliancemcn as are republicans, can console themselves with their regular party excuse for spending millions of the peoples' money: that it in thereby put into circulation and benefits' the country at large. Of course the fact that money spent on these lecturers gener ally goes from them toers"tis not mem bers of the alliance, is n drawback to the consolation this thought would otherwise afford, but there are drawbacks in every thing in this world. However, we suspect that "Alliance man" has one figure too many on his es timates. It was probably 3,500 lectures. What of It? Some one sends Irom Windsor, N. C, the following to the Raleigh Chronicle: "1 wish you would ascertain what emotions it causes in the bosoms of the editors of the New York Tribune anil Press and journuls of that stripe in the North, to know thut the Hag of the union, the veritable stars and stripes made out of lien Duller bunting, daily floats over the Windsor ncademv! Such is the fact. Prof. Percy K. Hoggs, princi pal of the academy, is the son of a Confederate colonel. The raising of the flag was celebrated by speeches from old Confederate soldiers and by singing 'America,' 'Star Spangled Manner,' 'Lib erty' and 'Red, White and Blue.'" Well, what of it? Who is better enti tled to love his country and the Hag that represents it thus the Southern man, be he ex-Confederate or not? Why lay es pecial emphasis on what is a matter of course? The South is today the most prominent section of the union; its best men are more and more coming to the front in affairs of government, and to make noteworthy, as if something unusu al or unexpected in North Carolina, the raising of the ting for which nil the South would fight at the drop of the hat, is to make capital for the Tribune and Press and other editors. "See," thev can say; "it is so unusual a thing to fly the I'nited States flag in North Carolina, that a special note is made of it." There was absolutely nothing remark able aKont this Windsor incident except the publication of it. Came Down. "Is that you, Davy Crocket?" asked the coon. "It is," said Crocket. "Then I'll come down at once." And he came. We congratulate the county commis sioners. The Davy Crocket of public opinion pointed his trusty rifle, Thk Cit ukn, at them and they come down. They do it gracefully and promptly, not pre tending to be above the people, but only their servants. And now Thk Citizkn sincerely hopes that a place will lie found for the sale of this mineral water that will lie both con spicious and central. Travellers in many parts of the world find nn added attrac tion to a city in the mineral waters that are to be had in an easily accessible, pub lic or semi-public spot, and there is no donbt that Asheville could udd this fea ture to the many she already possesses with an appreciable benefit. But of course the thing must be done decently and in order; and let gentlemen who are in the habit of signing petitions be a little more reserved with their signa tures. When success is in reach the democratic leaders are almost sure to do some fool thing to defeat it. In the gubernatorial embroglis in Nebraska the supreme court has rendered a decision ousting nmes E. Boyd, democrat, and declaring Thayer, republican, to be legal ly entitled to the office. The basis of the decision seems to be f lie met that Boyd was not a naturu!iu.d citizen of the United States at the time ol the elec tion. Asheville Baptist. Will the Baptist kindly point out where the "fool thing" appears in the ac tion ot tne democrats ol Nebraska as re ported in the foregoing ? And now will somebody please head oft Mr. Otis A. Miller and his Emporium with its sublime central dome? Tub Progressive Farmer condensed: "We demand." An Editor Out of place. Prom the Marlon Fra Lane. We were up in the jail yesterday.

The summary of the rules of the railway com mission regarding freights, arc: The freight rates prescribed arc maxi mum ones, which shall not be transcen ded. The railways, may carry, how ever, at less than the pre scribed rates; Provided, If they ennv for less for one person, they shall lor the like service carry for the same lessened rate for nil (tersons, and if they adopt less freight rates from one station, they shall make a reduction of the same kt cent, nt all stations along the line of the road, so as to make no unjust discrimination as against any person or locality. Hut when there are lietwecn any two points in the state two or more competing roads not under the same management or in the same sys tem, then the longer line or lines, in order to give said points ihe benefit of coiiiictitioti, may reduce the rates lietwecn said two points lielow the standard tariff, without making a corresponding reduction nt all stations along the lines ol said roads; Provided, such a reduction shall not make the rates less than the standard lariff rales for the shortest line lietwecn said points, and provided, lurther, Ihut lielore Inking cllect, the proposed enange of rates shall lie submitted to ami ap proved bv the Commission. The rales charged for freight service by regular passenger trains may he one ami a nan times that for first-class freight bv ordi nary freight trains. Nil company shall, bv reason of any contract with anv express, or other com pany, decline or refuse to act as a coin mor carrier, to transport any article proper for transportation by the train lor which it is ollcrcil. lotnpiimcs may collect twenty live cents as a minimum charge on a single shipment, however small. No company doing liusiness m this state shall permit a blockade of any class of freights on account of any ar rangement existing lietwecn it and other nilioad companies as to the transporta tion ol 'It-eight according to percentage or otherwise. There shall be no secret ic- luclioti ol rates, nor shall any bonus lie given, or any rcliatc pain to any ierson, hut the rales shall lie uiiilorm to an, ami public. All connecting roads under in.-inace-inent and control by lease, ownership or otherwise, ol onenml thesame company, oral connection with a ilillerent com pany, are required to make close connec tion whenever practicable. This applies to passenger trains. 1 he tare lor berths on sleeping ears is not to exceed $1 lor 10.) miles or less, and lor distances over 100 miles not over one cent ier mile for each birth: Pro vided, howevei, that for a lower lierth with the Hinier berth not lowered, the fare may be not over $1.50 for 150 miles or less, and for distances between 150 and 200 miles not over $2. CUXSfL C0KTE. Consul Cortc seems to lie a pocket edi tion of Premier Kinlini, St. Louis Post Dispalcli, It was very kind of the consul to use his good office and ndviec in saving a number ol lives. His declaration, how ever, is pretty good Italian testimony to the fact th.il the kind of people who conic over here from his country of late are n set we have no use lor. Kocklord Register. Signor Corte, Italian consul at New Orleans, has not liccn recalled by his government one day loo soon. If he were iK-riuilted to remain here much longer, lie would gel hisgovcriiineiil into a trouble that would embarrass it more than the recent letters of Secrctnry Blaine have done. Newark Adcrliscr. Signor Corte, Italian consul at New Orleans, has not added to the estimation in which his countrymen are held in that city by boasting that but for his persua sion and influence they would have as sassinated Mayor Shakesieare, Mr. Parkinson and others concerned in the lynching of the Italian prisoners aiidsus-IK-cied murderers. Signor Corte will do well to remain in his own country when he gels there. Albany Times. The testimony of Signor Corte, consu lar agent at New Orleans, to the fact that he had prevented the assassination of Mayor Shakespeare and Messrs. Parkin son and Wyclifl is not calculated to im press the public mind with the idea that the trouble with the Malia in that city is to end with Ihe summary taking off of the men charged with the murder of Chief Hennessey. When the retaliation for that act shall once begin it is hard to tell when it will end. Hululh News. I.KMON IvI.IXIR. IMcuHHiH, ICIeKant, Re-liable.

The North Carolina Cnrcompnny l s taken a contract to build 200 cars for the Raleigh & Gaston railwav. The Brabham case, from Charlotte, has not yet been certified down to i lie governor so he can issue a death war want. J. A. Bostwick, of New York, haasert the treasurer of Wake-Forest college thirteen thousand dollars in Housatoni railway bonds as his contribution to the increase of the endowment. The frosts have not hurt the huckle lierrv crop, an importnnt one in tin southeastern counties. More money is realized from the sale of huckleberries than from cotton in Sampson county. In Franklin county a young woman of n poor but respectable family named Ernes was to be married to a young man near I.ouisburg. He betrayed her and then declined to marry. A warrant was issued. He was arrested and taken to Iaiuisburg. All this so bore upon the mind of the young woman that during the absence of her parents at the trial she committed suicide.
