Ilia remarks were intended for parents us well as for teachers. It is now believed to no small degree that in.ire injury is done by too much punishment than by a lack of it. Some interesting questions were discussed, such as " When to teach a child the printed word," &c. A short time was taken up in the discussion of arithmetic. Prof. Mclver was "at himself" this morning in his remarks on composition."

Well, what our Dutch yesterday favorably reported a bill to who never thought concerning schools ; teach ers are full of enthusiasm and de termination ; citizens hive been awakened, aud the greatest good ever done in behalf of education iu this county has been accomplished tins week. I'rof. Mclver, with a giant intel lect, courage of his convictious and a tireless energy, is doubtless the biggest man among the young edu cators of the State. Possibly there is no man in North Carolina who can arouse a broader and a more positive interest in education than eau. Charles D. Mclver. Earnest, clear, honest, fair, bold and em phatic, he presents both sides of a question. He is not bidding for personal glory he shuns compl nieiits, and attributes all the good (and it is great) he is doing to the merits and importance of his sub jects and objects. The public address this morning has never been equalled by anything of its kind in the county. For one hour and thirty minutes he poured out truths and facts that cut to the core and was swallowed with a hearty relish. If people cannot be moved by such facts they are sim ply in a hopeless condition. At the conclusion of the address the following resolution was intro dueed by Col. Paul li. Means and unanimously adopted by a rising Vote : " Uesolved, that we, the people of Cabarrus ccunty, tender our sincere thanks to Trot. Mclver for his in teivsting and instructive address, which we consider to be the best and to have done more to arouse and in crease the true spirit of public edu cation than any addrees on that sub ject ever made in this county. And that this resolution is adopted not merely to compliment, but to encou rage him in this great work and especially in his intelligent, bold manly presentation of the subject. A (criiiHti Deikd.

The movement to erect a monu ment to the memory of Gen. A. P. Hill is being pushed along and by next Spring we may expect to have a handsome structure built. The whole South should help in this laudable undertaking. The next thing for Congress to tackle ought to be cheese or butter. They would doubtless have a bard fight on that question, for some cheese is very strong and most of the butter we get now-a-days is old enough to speak for itself. The Japanese are among the most progressive people in the world. In the first Parliament, which was elec ted last J uly, there were ten Chris tians, or one in thirty, of the whole number. The Christians in the country number less than one in ten thousand of the population. Mr. John L. Sullivan missed the chance of his life by not being in Congress this term. He might have exercised his muscle to advantage there on last Wednesday, when the whole House was being fried in hog's lard. John L. should not abandon his intention of running for Congressional honors. It is a good thing to have men who can talk easy, but when they talk as easy and light as the wind their argument is not likely to have much weight. But some of the men in Congress who find it very diffi cult to talk will now be greatly re lieved, because they can make theii tongues slick with hog's grease. One of the most disgraceful scenes ever seen in the halls of the Ameri can Congress took place last Wednes day. The row wa3 betweeu the Republican members of the House. 1 hey were lighting and "cussing all at the same time, and one time in his life Boss Reed found himself powerless to check the storm which had suddenly swept over them. The Czar of Russia is very particu lar about the liovds that are sent into his country, fearing that a plot may be laid to take his life, is afraid to eat his meals, because he is afraid the waiters will poison him, rides 111 an iron carriage to keep from being shot, and allows only American dentists to work on his teeth, because he is afraid that he might strike some nihilist who would plug them with dynamite. Such an existence must be one of direst misery. After a long and memorable fight the House has passed the "lard bill." One more of the Southern indus tries has been crippled by bringing under the National Revenue laws the cotton seed lard. It was done to "protect" the pork-packers of the North and Northwest. The South ern representatives in the House have made a 6trong fight against it, because it is stabbing one of our most promising industries in its in fancy. The cotton seed preparation had "become a substitute for the Northern lard, hence the combined effort of the pork packers to have a tax put upon it. The Atlanta Constitution and other Southern journals (if there be anvl will .see the harm done the Democratic party by advocating the boycott The North did not want the Election law, and the men who got up the force bill knew that it would never become a law. Their aim was to provoke the Southern people to say something that would sound like sectional hostility, so they could make use of these utter ances on the stump and carry their part of the country Republican. Some politicians will resort to some mighty low things sometimes, and he who stirs up bad feeling between the sections resorts to ihe lowest thing imaginable to carry their point. We do not blame the North ern people for the acts of these un principled demagogues, but we do think it would be best for them aud the whole country if the voters would cast their votes for men who would represent the people and not a gang of rascals who represent the personal interests of themselves. Senator Butler, of South Caroli na, has gone down to act as a peace maker between the contending Til- man and anti-Tilman factions in that State and see if some plan can't be devised by which they may be brought together. It is said that matters have assumed such a threat ening shape that many of the best friends of the State are very appre hensiye of the result Senator But ler has been sent because he has not become entangled in the contention, and it is thought there will be more of a disposition on both sides to lis ten to and accept suggestions from him on account of his non-committed attitude. Perhaps the fact that the Republicans have decided to take advantage of these dissensions and put several candidates for Con gress in the field, backed by money from the North, may induce the wrangling Democrats to listen to reason and come together before it is too late. If through their obsti nacy these contentious should con tinue to tbe end and disaster come they will have themselves to blame for it and have a long time to medi tate vover and lament their folly. But we have too much confidence in tneir love of otate and good sense to believe it will go that far. A SEW TBAIX. The constantly increasing through travel over the Richmond & Dan ville system, which is popularly known as the great "Piedmont Air Line," is to be met by the establish ment of the "Washington and Southwestern Vestibule Limited" train about the first of October next, to run between Washington and Atlanta via Lynchburg, Greens boro, Salisbury, Charlotte, Spartan burg and Greenville. The magnificent train will leave Washington every day at 11 a. m., arriving in Atlanta at six o clock the following morning, and return ing upon a simihar schedule of hours of arrival and departure. Ihe equipment will consist of Pullmpn Palace buffet, smoking and library, and sleeping, dining and drawing room cars, which are being ' built expressly for this service, and will be masterpieces of art. The entire train will be vestibuled, stem-heated and gas-lighted, and in every detail equal to to the best trams of this character on any line. All the comfort, convenience and luxury obtainable in railway travel will be furnished on this train, and the Southern people will be provided facilities in nj way iuferior to the best enjoyed by any other section. The liberal spirit of enterprise manifested in this contemplated ac tion of the management of this great trunk line will be properly ap preciated by the people for whose benefit it is designed, and the pa- extended to it will be the evidence that the travelling public knows how to value and enjoy the best facilities of speed, especially when had under circumstances of the highest refinement of modern travel. It is not intended that this train shall be the temporary and transito ry feature of a season, but an all-the-year-round, every-day-in-the- year connection between the great North and the new South by the way of the national capital. Green viile (0. C.) News. Wandered Away. novr kxow hixii abovt it. Une of the Greensboro Patriot's correspondents got considerably off the track when he wrote from Rich mond, a., and said: "Excepting Asheville, Charlotte, Statesville, Ra leigh, Greensboro, Durham, Fay etteville, New Berne ami Goldsboro we can claim no town of any con siderable importance in North Caro lina." All of the above named towns are real live and progressive cities, but if that correspondent has never traveled in the "Old North State,' we will invite him down, and when he returns he can add a few more to the list. There's no State in the Union that has a greater boom than North Carolina, and surely no State that is more able to keep it. Some of the busiest towns in the State have been ignorantly ignored. There is one, the name of which does not appear on his list, that has in the last ten years trebled its pop ulation : a city mat now has two large cotton factories, one of which is the largest, or nearly so, in the bouth, and has a large cotton trade, and one which has made more pro gress in the last few years than any town in JNorth Uarolina, and that city is our own beautiful Concord.

A. & I "Mr. Bond has wandered away," was on every lip this morning, Where he had gone, why he had left, were matters purely conjectural. For ?onie time Dr. E. T. Bass has been treating him for heart trouble. Mrs. Bond asked him to call her at two p. m. to give him his medicine. At half-past one she arose, thinking it time to administer it. When she entered the room her husband told her he had already taken it. Some few hours after, Mrs. Bond awoke and found Mr. Bond had quitted his bed. She went for neighbors and the premises were searched. Not a trace of him was found. A colored woman reported that just before day she saw the figure of man through her window going the direction of the lilack Pond on the Panola farm. Tracks of a bare foot were found near the edge of the water. Robert Banks, watch man at the wharf, heard a splash in the river as if a plank had been thrown or fallen from the railroad bridge. Early in the day it was hoped with some reason that he had only wandered away and would be found alive. But as the day wore on and no trace or clew of him could be found, unless they were those of the colored woman and Mr, Banks, the belief became general that he was drowned, it might be by accident, but more probably by his own act Tarboro Southerner. THIRD ANNUA L EXHIBITION The New Distillery. I. N. Ingram was interviewed at the St. Cloud by a Stakdard reporter about the government dis tillery to be opened in the east side of the county on Monday next He stated that he was a bonded official I in the employment of the Treasury Department of the United btates- secured by $5,000 guarantee for the assessment of its internal reve nues, and had nothiug whatever to do with the distilleries and praver. meetings in No. 5 township. He was not restricted by the Revenue Department to Cabarrus county. There were probably fifty different warehouses in the district to which he could be assigned to duty. The design of the Internal Revenue was to encourage temperance by an ex-1 pensive tax on spirits. - - - H Examination luesiion. In a few days I will mail to all theCountySuperintendents of Public Instruction questions tor the exami nation of teachers in September. I trust all the Superintendents will use them, preserve secrecy, follow- J ing the directions and suggestions printed at the head of the list of questions; and that the teachers, as many as possible, will apply for examination at the September exami nation. This set of questions is in tended to have some effect in uni forming the grading of certificates, first, second, and third grades, throughout the State. S. M. Finger, Supt. State papers please copy. WILL BE HELD AT Concord, N. C, ON Septemb'r 30 AND- Oct. 1,2 390 PREMIUM LIST FULL mis -and 1 1 1 IBS L Mr. Pou Declines. Mr. James H. Pou, who was nom inated for the Senate from Johnston county, has declined to accept, and a convention to nominate another candidate is to bo held at Smilhfiold on September 12th. His reason for declining is as follows: "My brother has been nominated for Solicitor of this district This nomination was secured only by the earnest and united support of the Demo crats of this county, and there is now an opinion entertained by many that it is not good policy for both of us to be candidates, and that possibly injury might result therefrom to the party. This opin ion may or may not be well founded. I do not know. But I know that this sentiment does exist, and I am too much interested in the success of the Democratic party and too much devoted to its principles to allow my name to become a cause of dissatisfaction in its ranks. While I think it best for me not to be a can- didate this year, it is my wish and intention to be among the foremost in the fight for Democracy and good government, and I am ready and willing to do anything in my power to advance the interest of the party and to assure its success."
