' Stkerm Pacifle '-'
Washington, September C Repre
mbUuth PajOD,of Illinois, has filed a
communication with the Secretary of
the Interior protesting against tba ap
pointment of a commission Xo examine
the completed Soother a Pacific railroad
in CaJiiornia preliminary tcrthe issue
of patents for the lands embnced In the
Texas Pacific Grant, which embraces
about fifteen million acres of land.
Bopresentatire Payson was a member
of the House judiciary committee,
which last winter concluded to recom
mend the forfeiture of this and other
railroad land grants and decided that
the Southern Pacific Company had
neither a legal nor equitable claim to
any part of the Texas Pacific grant.
After referring to the conclusions
reached by the House jcdiciary com
mittee, he says; "As a lawyer, I believe
the claim of this company to be base
less, as a citizen -1 shall feel that past
experience is being repeated should it
secure what it seeks.
You and I both know that while we
have f arored so mauy of these corpora
tions with prodigal and lavish grants of
the public lands and aid from the pub
lic treasury, they as a rule in return
have oppressed toe people by the impo
sitio.i of terms hard to be borne, and in
their strength and wealth, have practi
cably, bid defiance to the government
and legislative control as they gain in
financial strength. They are beginning
to realize that any attempt to secure
this vast grant, about 15,000,000 acres,
through Congress would be futile. The
agents and attorneys for the Southern
Pacific company shrewdly attempt to
secure a foothold in the extension
branch, nd by such claims of a purely
legal and technical character as the en
gnuily of learned counsel can devise
and present to secure such a recogni
tion as will enable them to procure
eventually the patent letter to this land.
Mr. Payson then takes up Mr. John
Hale Cypher's letter and says a more
absurd proposal was never mada than
Xhat the statute was mandatory upon
Che secretary to appoint the coir mis
sion, "asking the Government to pass
over to the combination 15.000,000 acres
cf land PS a regard to it for accomplish
ing just what the Congress strove to
prevent." It is the coolest plrce of pro
cedure to which my attention has ever
been called.
With regard to transportation be
tweea the Mississippi and the Pacific
Coast, and between the two oceans, Mr
Payson says, omittingtthe Northern Pa
cific route, "the whole business is in the
absolute control of the Gould and
Huntington party. As to the prefer
ence of route the American people pays
it loon.iy and tk-s it choice. The cash
all goes to the same tilL"
After a fierce denunciation of the
' Southern- Pacific Company and its
methods the communication close with
an appeal to the Secretary to refer the
whole matter.

' Ion that war will be the signal for a
number of outbreaks in the Empire.

fearful for the permanence of the dy
nasty, and is inclined to favor such
measures as shall secure peace. The
Times prints a dispatch from Hong
Kong which states that advices received
there from Haiphong announce that the
. French Admiral will blockade the
ports of Canton and Pakoi unless the
Chinese troops are withdrawn from the
Tonquin frontier. It is stated that
Chinese merchants are leaving Canton
because their letters are opened, and

well known merchants, who are always
forward in enterprise, hare done away
with the cash boy system, and have
adopted instead a novel and ingenious
contrivance called the cash railway, an
invention that works like a charm. A
line of brass tracks suspended around
ths interior of the- store centre at ths
cashier's desk. Each salesman has a
stand, and on receiving the cash, pots
it into a wooden ball "which Is dropped
on the track and runs back to the cash
ier's desk where the money is changed
and ths proper amount placed 1n the
ball which is sent back to ths
on a lower track. , The balls axe of dif
ferent sizes,' and the track is so arrang
ed that any certain ball will pass all the
stations along the track until it comes
to its own, when it drops out into a
basket at the salesman's side. It is
certainly a novel lnTentlon and eaves
time and trouble. . There la but one
other of the kind In the State and that

Kaocke Craxy fcy a Cattaa Bale.
A colored man who drives a dray for
Mr Allen Cross came near being killed
yesterdsy through bis foolhardiness in
trying to haul ten bales of cotton at one
load. , He : was seated on a top bale
about ten feet from the ground, driving
through the streets, when a jolt of the
wsgen upset the cotton and it tumbled
off, The colored man tumbled first and
as he hit the ground a heavy bale came
down on him. It was thought by those
who witnessed it that the man was
sorely killed, bat when the bale was
rolled from his body, it was found that
he was not dead bat crazy. The bale
struck him square across the chest and
had the rather strange effect of convert
ing the driver into a raving maniac.
Dr Byers examined him but could find
no bones broken. The driver was sent
to bis home to be held under restraint
until the effects of fall wear off. . .
Carrots la 49, , i
Miss Lizzie . May Ulmer, a bright and
vivacious young actress, makes her
first appearance before a Charlotte au
dience in the opera boose on Friday the
11th inst, as Carrots in '49. The play ia
a new. one and baa already, scored a
ceess in Philadelphia, where it is be
ing plsyed at the Chestnut street theatre
The Times remarking on it says: "The
Chestnut street opera boose was opened
last night for the season. Lizzie May
Ulmer appeared as Carrots in '49 and
the house was folL ' The play Is of a
kind with which theatre goers are en
tirely familiar, yet It is a kind which ia
Tory popular. People seem to like the
slang and native dash of a character
like Carrots, and there is something in
the rough human nature as brought out
of the mining regions which is pecu
liarly fascinating. ; There is a sparkle
about Miss Ulmer. mixed with a simple
pathos, which well fits her for her part
in this piece, and aha aaaily earns the
sympathy of the audience. She la very
well supported by characters in all va
riety and 40 promises to have a sac-

Bore Aswat the Death oflra Hall.
, A special dispatch published in this
paper from Rock Hill last Tuesday an
nounced the death in that place on tha
previous evening of Mr. J. Ira Hall,
from an overdose of morphine. 'The
following additional- particulars of the
affair we get from the Rock Hill Her
ald: "Whether or not Mr. Hall took
the fatal dose with the intention of pro
ducing death Is by no means clear; but
the fact that he was making; hurried
preparations for a trip to another town
on business, and the farther' fact that
there is no known reason why he should
have desired to kill himself, .'warrant
the: inference that the dose was not
taken with suicidal intent 7 It ia said to
be quite probable that he had taken
morphine in very small quantities ones
or twice daring the morning, jand fail
ing to have the effect of quieting him,
his relatives .think he took a larger dose
abont- dinner . hour, not supposing it
would affect him so serisosly. After he
had Informed the family that he. had
taken the morphine, and was afraid the
dose was too large, emetics of, various
kinds were used to produce etqesis, but
