Washington", April l. president Cleveland has moved his family and his office out to " "Wood lev," his suburban residence, and will only be at me into House on the .lavs the ant Governor Miles was elected to Cabinet meets twice a week for 'congress in the third district to sue some time to come. This will give ' ceod liuiiows. him an opportunity to dispose of a , nuniler of minor matters which he ' XVm- wuon i Postniater General, could not rind time to get at as long ! Washington, 1). C, April 3. as he was accessible to the personal callers who are nearly always on hand at the White House. The new1 ministry of Spain lost no time in proing that President ; Cleveland was correct in thinking ai. . i i , , . . o mar ir would do the proper thing about the Allianca outrage, and there is little doubt that the apology de manded bv Secretary G res ham will in due time follow 'the explanatorv communication already received. It is jiositively stated that a deal has been completed w hereby the Re publican Senators will get the votes of the Populist Senators and reor ganize the Senate as soon as Con gress meets. There is nothing sur prising in this, as it was expected by everybody. One result of the deal w ill be to make John Sherman chair man of the Finance committee. Think of the Populists helping to do that. Kumor says, the Supreme Court will deride the income tax unconsti tutional, and even gives the oosition of each of the eight justices sitting Justice Jackson has been too i iT to take any part in the present term on the case. There is, of course, no method of ascertaining the truth or falsity of the rumor, which is le lieved or disbelieved according to the wishes of the e.x pressor of the opin ion. While ollicials of the govern ment would prefer that the tax stand they say that an adverse decision will not make air extra session of Con gress absolutely necessary, unless there be another run on the Treasury gold. Ex-Senator Mahone is now at the llead Ot a Scht'llie having for its ob- . Father and Sons Arrested for Murder, ject the political control of Virginia. J (( ua, Mo., April 1. The greatest There is nothing new or raniing in ; excitement prevails in Crawford the idea. It i merely a reproduc- j county on account of the arrest of tion of the Kepiil.lirai)-loju!it com- !

Virginia Democ-nds who I was found on the premises of the come to Washington say there would ! Greens, lie nothing to fear in the movement I even if it were not led by Mahone. but with him at its head it is hound to fail because the few influential Republicans of the State have had all they wanted of Mahone lmg ago, and they hate Populisnr quite as bad as they do Mahoiieisin. While Secretary Herbert when he planned the route- over which Ad miral Meade's squadron will sail dur ing the month of April had no idea that Great Britain would send that ultimatum to little Nicaragua, neith er he nor President Cleveland regrets that the squadron will reavh Grev toxvn. Nicaragua, almut the middle of the month. On the contrary. they rejoice at the coincidence which will place such formidable American war vessels as the New York, Min neapolis, Columbia. Atlanta. Raleigh and Cincinnati in Nicaraguan waters at the time that Great Britain will probably le making a demonstration of force to frighten the little Cen tral American republic into comply ing with its demands as to the. pay ment of extortionate indemnity, etc. It will show John Hull that the ad ministration not only meant business when it recently told him that the Monroe doctrince was still in force and must be respected by him, but that it is prepared to demand respect for the Monroe doctrine at the can- non's mouth if it is not peaceably accorded. - No one here seems to know what Nicaragua will do, but the hope is expressed on all sides that it w ill politely decline to accede to the unjust demands of Great Bri tain. When the United' States govern ment sends, as it will at an early date in compliance with an act of Congress, its own engineers to offi cially inspect the route of the pro jxJsed Nicaragua canal, it serves no tice to all concerned that it proposes to control that canal when it is con structed. Teachers Tax. This is one thing the newspapers have failed to mentioned, the teach ers tax. Every teacher now under the new law is required and com pelled to pay one dollar before he can stand an examination as teacher. Heretofore they were allowed tin privilege of standing an examination evcrv two mourns wiinoui, p.ii''p one "cent unless they wish to be ex amined on a special date not at the regular time. This the teachers are required to pay and take the chances of getting a school. It is conceded that our teachers are paid little onoiio-h already w ithout levying a tax upon them. Those who stand the- examination in the tuttire pa i . for it school or no school. The dol lar tax which is put on teachers goes into the pockets of the county ex aminer. Under Democratic law he paid no tax unless an extra date wa; sked for outside of the regular date and this money went into the geiier fund. "Tax them, tax em, don't relax 'em" is the spirit of fu sion, but to hear one of them talk in the last campaign w ould make us . i i-i believe that fusion wasaiauuui pure delight where the tax payers were free from the Sheriffs immortal reign.

IT. UK SATS THAT HE FIT THK ASSIGN MENT LAW thkoi;h. But it Wan Just us lie Drew it He writes a Letter, and So Docs Mr. Smith of Stanley. The News a few days ago said that a lawyer well know n in this section of the State was held respon sible for the passage of the assign ment and mortgage act about which such a row has been raised. Mr. Win. M. Smith, of C ineorcl. is the lawyer in question. In a letter to Mr. S. Wittkowskv, of Ch arlotte, be 'fathered" the bil'l, but says that as it passed it was not as be drew it. Mr. Smith also has a letter in the Concord Times, in which he says: iVnig- perfectly willing at all times to assume all responsibility for my acts, I desire to say that the bill re cently passed by the legislature, re gulating assignments, was prepared by me, with the clause ''excepting mortages for cash advanced at the time of their execution," and was in troduced by Mr. Smith, of Stanly, upon my arrival in Raleigh, which was five weeks before the adjourn ment of the Legislature. The bill was referred to the finance commit tee, because it is well known in this State that heretofore no one has been able to secure any legislation which tended to the abolition of the in- iquitotis law allowing preferences in case of assignments, and becouse the judiciary committees had seen proper to report unfavorably upon every bill w hich came before them of this nature. He goes on to say that the bill as prepared by a certain ex-Judge at the instance of certain parties in Baltimore, was submitted to inc. and I agreed to accept as a substitute to my bill, and Mr. Smith doubtless would have ilmie so had the substi tute been offered, for the reason thai it had a clause in it similar to the one w hit h the Finance Committee saw proper to strike out of the bill pre pared by nie. Mr. Smith, of Stanly, comes out in a letter to the News ix Observer in v, liicli he says : If this bill is a law it was certainly forged through t he House and Senate. 1 remember well that the bill came up on its second reading on March 1 1th or 1 '-'t h. and on motion of Mr. Lee. of Haywood, it was tabled bv a large vote. It was a House bill and had never been to the Senate. The IleXt day after the bill was tabled I met the Principal Clerk of the House on his v ay to the Enrolling Clerk's oflicewitha number of bills. He stopped and showed thein to me. and among them 1 found that bill, and told him that the bill was tabled the day before and had never been to the Senate. 1 examined the bill and found no mark or stamp of where the House had taken any action on it, except that it had passed the first reading, and had be referred to the Finance couiniitte. He said that lie would go back and see about it ; that was the last I heard of the bill while I was there. Succ ssful Undertakings. Commissioner's sale. R. M. Ran som Com.

The strength and activity of silver have not passed unnoticed in the Treasury, but the general opinion is expressed that the rise is speculative rather than real, and what isTeal in the movenietit is to be attributed to the prospects that the Chinese indem nity will be paid in silver rather than to any belief that the position of sil ver will be improved by the monetary conference even should such a con ference be held.

To tile Editor of the News and Observer. New York City, April 1. With in the last few days I have visited most of the mortgage companies of this city, and several private bankers endeavoring to make arrangements to borrow monev for former clients in Edgecome county, by mortgage upon their realty. Of course I did not expect to perfect arrangements, and negotiate loans until the new assignment law had been construed by our court. I was treated with the utmost consideration by every one whom I approached, but thev all declared they had no money to send to North Carolina now it mattered not w hat construction cur court should give the new assign ment law. Tlie business men here have had their eyes upon North Carolina the conservative progress of the State has attracted their attention and I found they would have been willing to lend money upon North Carolina realty at seven per cent when they decline to lend monev to some of the Southern and Western States at ten and twelve per cent., but for the fact that the Legislature was in the hands of -the Fusionist The bankers and mortgage compan ies here represent that thev cannot lend money in North Carolina at less than seven per cent., and every one with whom I bilked said that they were arranging to call in their money as speedily as possible. Whenever the Populists are in control you will tind that the credit of the State is impaired and its prop erty depreciated in the money mar kets of the world. Henry A. Gilliam. COOK TAKES THE OATH. Justice Walter A. Montgomery Swears in a Man Without a Commission. Senator Charles A. Cook, w ho de clared when the bill to create the new Kasteru Criminal Circuit was before the House that he would not and could not accept the office if tendered him. and had no personal interest at stake, yesterday took the oath of offi ce before Justice Montgomery. Capt. Cook had no commission w hatever, for the Governor alone can issue a commission. Judge Walter A. Montgomery, "lion-partizau" member of the Su preme Court, swore in his fellow townsman. Mr. Cook. The case, if the matter lie brought into the courts, will come before the Supreme Court, of which Judge Montgomery is a member. Ewart has tried in vain since the Legislature, to get some judge in the western part of the State to adminis ter the oath of office to him. He is even said to have tried justices of the peace without avail. Mr. Cook's path is easier than Mr. Ewart 's. Raleigh News & Observer. A Chance For Genius. Mr. Morton, secretary of agricul- ture, makes a suggestion which should stimulate inventive genius. He says one of the great needs of the country is an agricultural implement w hich w ill take the place of the plow and do better work. It ought to be something that w ill break up the land and turn it over as a nun does with a spade. Secretary Morton thinks such an implement could be made. It might be constructed in the form of a rotary spader, or an implement consisting of a number of revolving knives which, in passing over the land, would chop up the soil and subsoil for two feet so as to render the percolation of the rainfall easy and perfect to the depth to which the ground has been 6tirred. The ail vantages of such a machine would, of course, be great. The or dinary plow, by its downward draft, presses the bottom of a furrow into a sort of through and thus the water is drained off instead of being held for the coming crop. Secretary Morton has given this subject much study and is convinced that such a machine as he recom mends can be worked successfully.
