THE STUDIED., I1! I DAY, - December 13, 1880. J as. P. Cook, 1 Editors ami jrs ami Proprietors. IS. E. Harms, J NTAKDAKD XOTF.S. cigarette trust is one of the latest. Governor Toole, of Montana, is a Southerner. He shows the right grit. The Wilmington Star is to come out in a new dres. It i t a. is always ongnr, neat, ;um clean. President Harrison's mes sage has received very few compliments. The best that has been said of it is that it is comprehensive. U. S. Marshal White had his face slapped at Charleston, WT. Va., for saying that Jeff Davis ought to he buried in the letter's held. David J. Brewer, of Kansas, lias been appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, lie is well spoken of. The San ford Express heads its local columns, "Heading for the lazy." We don't have any of that kind in this part of the country. Already there is talk of a monument to Jeff Davis. If it in any way comports with the love and veneration which his people had for him, it will surpass in grandeur anything of the kind in America. A sect in Iowa, which preached and practiced celi bracy has become so depleted in numbers that it has con eluded celibacy is a failure and is about to introduce mar riage. The sect or society is said to be worth millions. Senator Vance has never been in favor of the Civil Ser vice law. Already he has in troduced a bill for. its repeal. Of course it will not be done. It is a sort of a clap trap that the Democrats are expected to observe, and the Republicans are not. -"- "" It is said that a publisher in Washington city has re quested of Henry Blount, of the Wilson Mirror, the privi lege of making extracts from Mr. Blount's writings in the Mirror and publishing them in book form. This is very com plimentary to a North Carov lina editor, and shows that his fine style of writing, or rather style of fine writing, is appre ciated. II. P. Cheatham, North Carolina's negro congressman, recently did a kind, and, for him, noble act. He asked for the retention in office of a young white Democrat in of fice, saying that he was a good industrious boy, and that he (Cheatham) had been given to the boy's mother as bridal present. Now the family is in reduced circumstancesand he takes this occasion to show his love for them. He So great is the disaster among the farmers of Halifax and adjacent counties, that the people assembled in mass meet ing recently and petitioned the governor to call an extra session of the General Assem bly to empower the county commissioners of those coun ties to issue bonds in order to raise money to help the needy. Surely the case does not call such extreme measures as that. If it does, it is serious indeed. WThat a wonderful thing is the cotton plant ! The lint 'furnishes material, more than any other source, with which to clothe the world. Thelibre from the bark, is useful for making a course cloth, and, if developed properly; would no doubt go a long way towards covering the cotton crop. In addition to this, the root is valuable for medical proper ties. It is no wonder that cot ton, in its proper clime, so easily holds the sceptre as king. The "Old North State" is keeping pace with the other Southern States in the devel opment of mining and manu facturing industries. Coal beds have been quite recently found and are being develop ed. Gold mines are being dis covered. Within the last few days, "The North Carolina Steel and Iron Company" has been organized, with a capital of $1,000,000 for the develop ing of ore lands in Chatham and other counties. A Besse mer pig iron furnace will be erected at Greensboro, with a capacity of 150 tons daily. Steel plants and rolling mills will be erected soon. COL. POLK HONORED. It is beginning to dawn upon the people of North Carolina that Col. 'Double L" Polk, of the Progressive Farmer, is a great man. An attrac ts c sneaker and an excellent organ izer, lie has always had devoted friends, and ever since ins connection with the farmer's inove uientin this State, owing to his constant ami watchful devotion to their cause, he has been honored and supported by them. He has been promoted from one position of honor and trust to another until now he has reached the highest honor in the AlliAnro. havinsr been made president of the Farmer's and Laborer's Union that has just been in session at St. Louis, Mo. Col. Polk is well qualified for that re sponsible place and will no doubt so ably fulfil the duties devolving upon him as to attest the wisdom of his supporters in their excellent choice. It is a very responsible place, as he is thus" placed at the head of an organization comprising a membership of nearly three mil lions of voters. Col. Polk will receive a salary of 3,000 a year, and will be required to live in Washington City. JEFFERSON DAVIS. The South mourns to-day the departure of a loved chieftain; a chieftain upon whose devoted head has been hurled countless anathemas by his enemies, who saw in him only an arch rebel and a traitor to his country. In the hearts of his fellow southrons, he is still revered, and honored and loved as the gallant and eloquent defender of our rights in the National Congress, and as the brave and able leader of the South when in the fatal appeal to the arbitrament of war, the South, with one voice, called him to guide her destinies. How faithfully and with what patriotic devotion he performed the varied and arduous duties of that elevated position is recorded by history, and though there are some who now, in the clearer light of after-events, may question his judgment in specific cases, there are none who question his integrity of purpose, and his firm adherence to what he and his people considered their just and inalienable rights. It was destined that "might should be right," in that fearful struggle for State rights and liber ties guaranteed by the constitution; the South, an agricultural people was forced to fight against the world, and when, torn and bleeding, her test blood having been poured out with prodigal devotion to a great cause, it became necessary to surren der to the countless hordes that stood arrayed against her, it was but natural that the odium and hatred of our enemies should be centred upon him who stood as the head of the fallen nation. And there are some among his followers, who are dis posed to hold the gieat leader re sponsible for what in ail probability, no living man could have averted. Had the result of that great struggle been different," as it undoubtedly would have been had the odds been equal, Jefferson Davis would have been regarded by the world as one of its patriots and heroes, as he is in fact, and is regarded by his people. The South has every reason to be proud of the well established fact t hat Mr. Davis was a great man. As a military leader, his record in the Mexican war shows him to have been one of rare genius. In his adminis tration as Secretary of War, under President Pierce, he showed a breadth of intellect and an executive ability that proclaimed him superior to any of his predecessors in that high ofiice. As a Senator in the stormy years that preceded the se cession of the South, he took first rank among the eminent men of that period, and was considered the chumpion of the South in the defense of her sacred rights. He always, in every position, commanded the re spect and admiration of his col leagues and opponents. His hero ism and manliness were displayed in his career, subsequent to the war, no less than in the stormy period during and preceding it. His quiet and dignified deportment during this period showed that he was su perior to the vile epithets and cruel ! hatred of which he was the signa l mark, and furnish further evidence of his greatness. While he was without a country, never having re sumed his allegiance to the govern ment of the United States, and thus being precluded from the rights and privileges of citizenship, he was not without a people, for he was still, and will ever be, enshrined m the hearts of those Southrons with whose destinies his were linked, and of whom he was the revered and hon ored leader in a great civil war. It is no disgrace to Mr. Davis that on the occasion of his death a de parture should le made from the usual custom of lowering the fla and draping in mourning the De partment of War at the National Capitol, over which he once presided ; in view of his life and history it is rather an honor to him and will only increase the love of the South for their great hero and former chieftain. of Jefferson Davis. th: GRAND OLD MAN OF THE SOUTH LAID TO REST. TIioiiKnndN anil Tliowmiul I'ay Trib ute to IIIh Mpinor.v. New Orleans, Dec. 11. The day,notwithstatuling the threatening and oppressive character of the weather during the pastsever.il days, could not have been more propitious or beautiful. The portentous preg nant looking clouds of the night previous) and great banks of heaw fog that prevailed during the early part of this morning, had wholly disappeared by 7 o'clock, as the pup burst forth, and a beautiful southern summer day dawned for the obse quies of the southern Chief tab. The city is crowded with thou sands of people, representing prom incuce, wealth and chivalry of the southern states. Six or seven Gov ernors are here, attended by staffs, and bringing with them great dele gations of people. Across in Lafay ette square just opposite the City Hall, a dense multitude gathered, and Canal st. and St. Charles streets were crowded with people from all over the country. The lloral decorations were added to this morning. They came from every State and city in the South, and are superb in their beauty. The town is draped from one end to the other in black. Residences that were bare of mourning emblems yesterday are covered this morning, and every bit of bunting the.v h in the city Hies at half-mast. At an early hour this morning th streets were thronged with soldieis and firemen in uniform, members of various civic organizations and rep resentative3 of every profession, avo cation and association, all en route to their respective meeting stations, whence hours later they concentra ted in Lafayette square. As soon as the doors of the City Hall were opened a stream of citizens began to pour into the death chamber to take a farewell view of the remains of the Confederate leader. The crowd of visitors was even greater than that of yesterday, there being hun dreds of people from abroad whose j visit to this citv had been delaved j until today. This morning's trains brought in thousands of visitors from the sur rounding cities, including most of the military companies located ne.ir New Orleans. The following were the pall bear ers : Gov. Francis T. Nichols of Lou- lsiana Gov. Kobt. Lowry, of Missis- sippi ; Gov. S. B. Buckner, of Ken tucky; Gov. J. B. Gordon, of Geor gia; Gov. J. J- Richardson, of South Carolina ; Gov. D. G. Fowle, of North Carolina ; Gov. W. Fleming, of Florida ; and Gov. Jas. P. E. Ea gle, of Arkansas. The pallbearers met in the may or's parlor at 11 o'clock. The fu neral ceremonies were commenced at 11:30. The ceremonies were con ducted by Bishop Gallaher. Dr. Markham read the lesson. Father Hubert said the prayer and Dr. Thomas B. Martin sang the psalm. The choir of St. Paul's Episcopal church then sang "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death." Bishop Gallaher read the creed and delivered an address, which though brief was very offec- tive. The ceremonv was niosfc im pressive, and the entire assem blv i stood with bowed heads while the services were being conducted. Mrs. Davis and her daughter, Mrs. Hayes, and T. S. Ftnnerand family, occupied carriages in front of the hall during the ceremonies. The procession was the largest ever seen in the South. The services at the grave were con' ducted by Bishops Gallaher and Thompson, and were in accordance with the ritual of the Episcopal church. Last night, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Hayes, and other members of the family, paid their last visit to the dead, remaining there about an hour. It is estimated between 50,000 and 00,000 strangers are present. The several representatives of veter an associations after passing the night as guard of honor to the dead Chief trin, paid a parting visit of re spect to Mrs. Davis. From seven to ten o'clock this morning, the death chamber was open, and several thousand viewed the remains. At ten o'clock the City Hall was closed, and everybody excluded except those forming a portion of the cortege, officiating clergy, pall bearers, and distinguish" cd ladies. The casket was sealed and conveyed to the portico where the religious services commenced at 11:30 o'clock. After the services a detachment of soldiers conveyed the remains to the funeral caisson ; guns were fired in LaFayette Square. At the intersec tion of Canal and Claiborne streets, and the head of Canal along the route which the procession passed, more than 200,000 people had gath ered, lining the walks and crowding balconies and windows. On arriving at the cemetery the casket was removed from the car by a detachment of the Army of Northern Virginia, and placed in the tomb of this association. The choir sag "Pock of Ages," after which Bishop . Gallaher conducted the services. Buria Wnahinirton Letter. From our Uejular Correspondent. Washington-, Dec. 3, 1S8U. The delegates to the Pan-Amcri-cmi Congress spend a good deal of their spare time putting their indi vidual museums to rights. The souvenirs that were not collected but accumulated during the trip as e;!ch man's share, are bewildering in number and variety. There are first about. 200 menu cards for half as many cities. There are all sorts of designs, good, bad and terrible. Then there are scores of mementoes given by manufacturers, and medals and badges given by cities and cor porations. Sonif. of these trifles are verv costly and elegant. Pittsburg makes the biggest showing. There are two large books bound in moroc co, the 400 large pages of one being filled with photographs of places of interest in the Smoky City, while the other volumes devote 500 pages to the business interests of the city. The Pennsylvania Railroad's souv enir book contains date of the trip, with especially beautiful illustra tions and an. extract from Secretary Blaine's address of welcome fo the guests. The motherly arms of Canada have iust folded to her loving breast another absconding cashier in the person of Silcott, cashier for Mr. Leedom, the retiring Sergeant-at-Arms of the House, who made away j last week with a sum estimated at $80,000. As the House committee I I of investigation has not yet con- eluded its labors, full particulars of J the amount of the loss cannot be l.i...: i ....:.. :., i,,., ...-.- ... ooianieu. veiiam it is, iiuhkhi, that the loss will not be covered by the bond. Some of Si'.cott's pre po tions for llight were made with a foresight that showed the man to be no fool so far as cunning is con cerned. The developments of Satur day show that he is likely a forger as well as a defaulter. Just before leaving the city he took up notes at the National Metropolitan Bank to the exttnt of 14,500. These notes are believeil to have been forged with the names of about thirty mem bers of Congress and other persons. In taking these notes up Silcott in I all probability destroyed-them. Mr. Lccdorn's followers are .talking very bravely or bringing bilcott back on j a charge of forging these notes. A j child should know that no extradi i tion on a charge of forgery would be allowed until the document al ! leged to have been forged could be produced in court. Silcott has cov ered his tracks well. A slow-moving middle aged man, with a back in clined to be on the style made ob noxious by Richard III ai;d other crooked-backed people, a man with a wife and family and well connect ed with all, does not cut all ties and sail away from home and friends and family into the black depths of disgrace and danger, without some stroag reasons for his action. Sil cott lived a double life. He had his ofiice and his family and hi friends at the House of Representa tives and came and went for six years, honored and respected. Be hind this was another life. Ho had a mistress, a French Canadian young woman, whose life had been one of the most wretched sin for years. She was no fascinating Camille, only an 'ignorant, lazy, drinking shrew, but she set the heart of this aged victim on lire. Mie is supposed to be with him now in Canada. Sil- COtt h,ul another love' iUul that was gamoiing on norse races, lie was well known by the habitues of every day, making his bets and losing part of them. His salary, like the Irish man's blanket, was too short at both ends, and the only thing that sur prises one is that he lasted so long. Mr. Leedom can, to some extent, blame himself for giving Silcott the temptation to rob him, and through him the government. Mr. Leedom says that Mr. Silcott always appeared to be very economical. He often, he sayp, spoke to him about di 'cssing badl'. lie seemed actually unwilling to buy clothes of u-spect-ble cut and quality. If Mr. Leedom had gone a lttle further and thought that these eviddnces of an economi cal spirit were fully counteracted by Silcott's passion fpr betting one hundred dollar bills on races, in the the pool rooms, month in and month out, he would have exhibited a greater gift of observation. And Mr. Leedom could have very easily learned of this heavy gambling. Mr. Leedom is hiins ;lf one of the most earnest votaries of gambling on horse races, and his visits to the pool room have been of nearly daily oc currence when he is in the city is it L -1 .1 i il . . r i nut s: range mat rue master never noticed the man's habit except as to his clothing ? Mr. Leedom evident ly put too great confidence in Sil cott. NOTICE TO HUNTERS. All persons are hereby forbidden from hunting with dogs or gun, and fiishing upon the lands of W.

He tans his own leather and makes his own shoes. He wiil get along whether the cotton fails or not. The Lexington Dispatch says Last Saturday night, Cyrus Goss, a colored citizen of the suburbs, burn ed his wife's face and injured one of her eyes by firing a charge of gun. powder at her with a gun. It is re ported that Cyrus was trying to scare his better half in order to enforce domestic discipline. Charlotte Chronicle: Some time ago Clay Morns found what proved to be a diamond on the Polly Craw ford land, above Bundle Mountain He offered to swap it for a plug of tobacco, but the tobacco man would not do it.
