Washington. Aug. 3. Messrs. Jos.
Caldwell, F. Brevard McDowell
and other prominent citizens are
Kere hoping to be aide to help influ
ence the Executive not to veto either
tfie Statesville or the Charlotte pub
lic building bill.
An effort will be made by the Re
publican campaign committee to
secure the services of Miss Anna
fnckinson as a stump, speaker dur
ing the coming campaign. In 1800
she made a stirring canvass in Penn
sylvania for Mr. Lincoln. On one
occasion she was addressing an au
dience of rough miners. These
miners were opposed to Mr. Lincoln
bjecause they thought the abolition
of slavery meant competition with
tfiem and cheapening their labor.
Inuring Miss Dickinson's speech a
rough miner drew-a. pistol and or
dered her to stop. She paid no at
tention to him and kept on speak
ing. He took deliberate aim, tired,
and shot a curl off her head. .She
showed no excitement whatever and
proceeded with her speech. Her
preservation from the murderous
bullet was regarded by the super
stitious miners as a direct interposi
tion of Providence, and her courage
so greatly impressed them that she
niatle thousands of converts. Simon
Qimeron, Thad Stephens and other
party leaders, said she certainly
turned the tide in favor of Mr. Lin
coln, and carried the State of Mr.
Ruchanan for the Republican party.
Senator Vance has returned to
thjis city after his brief visit to North
Carolina. Senator Ransom was called
tcj New York a few days ago by im
portant business before the National
Executive Committee. Senator liar
rife, whose family lived at Chalk
Ljjvel, near Henderson, N. C, and
wno still has many relatives of his
name in that town, has returned to
this city from a brief visit to Ten
nessee. He finds his prospects for
rej-eleetion very promising. He has
served in the United States Senate
for twenty-four consecutive years
and has twice been elected Acting
Vjce-President by the Democratic
caucus. He is considered the finest
parliamentarian in the United States.
Arthur Simmons, the colored mes
senger at the W hue House, who
guards the door of the room occupied
by Col. .Lamont, was born, I think,
ini Duplin county, and was until
4fcjG4 a slave. He now gets 81 ,200 a
year and his wife runs a successful
laundry on L. street.
Chief Justice Fuller and his wife
will return to Chicago on Saturday.
Hie will not take the oath of office
until just before the assembling of

V well-read politician in this city
says : Senator Harris point of order
on the direct tax amendment to the
Sundry Civil bill and Senator In
gall's ready and sententious decision
sustaining it are the talk of the day.
It saves infinite trouble and possibly
some peril to the Democratic party.
Another filibuster in the House of
Representatives would have been in
evitable and might have prejudiced
some Northern votes.1'. This was
averted by Senator Harris' thorough
mastery of parliamentary tactics.
fhe House adjourned this evening
until Monday. The Senate had no
quorum to-day.
tion has no cause to complain. Win
ston seems to have been favored with
good seasons and average crops.
Raleigh has bcen5having some good
rains and some improvement in the
crops, and to sum tip the reports
from different parts of the State, we
are compelled to jsay that Winston
and Asheville have fair prospects for
good tobacco crops and a few small
sections. North Alamance, Knapp
of Reeds, also Diitchville, in Gran
ville county, have no cause to com
plain much, butf south Alamance,
Caswell, Person, ()range, Durham
and the larger portion of Granville,
the: prospects are Very poor indeed,
while a large portion of Chatham has
been more favored with rain and the
crop promises better things. The
general outlook frdm Virginia is very
poor indeed. During the week the
market lias been j moving upward.
No boom or spasniotic feeling, but a
live market and bitter prices.
LITTLE OU()N KO.
We have been waiting to hear from
some of our old experienced farmers
on the culture of little Oronoko to
bacco, but as yetjnot one has ex
pressed an opinions-Rip Van Winkle
like, fast asleep-f-whilu the artful
manufacturer is educating the peo
ple's taste for the purpose of selling
their goods made oL. this porus.
spongy, hurley slock, filled with
blackstrap molasses and other sweet
compounds that add weight and cost
but little, and sell it for a low price.
It is a shame upon our people that
they sit still and See their best in
terest sapped and! won away from
them,-.and our owii people, many of
them, are acquiring the taste by edu
cation for the use of such obnoxious
compounds. Willi" not our fanners
wake up to the importance of culti
vating aright the little Oronoko to
bacco? Plant it onthe sameland that
produces the' fhm silky wrappers,
work it well, top it low, make it rich
and waxy, let it remain on the hill
until it is thoroughly ripe, cut it,
put it on scaffolds for a week or more
if the weather isj fair, have open
sheds around yourj barns, and hang
it up in those open sheds, and let it
cure. The close 11 lie barns you now
have may be retained, but build
some cheap sheds around these
barns, which may be done at little
cost, and you will Uiave some sweet,
rich, waxy lillers and wrappers that
manufacturers would delight to buy
at good prices, ami we would begin
at once to regain a part of the lost
ground that we liave permitted to
slip away from usy ami the North
Carolina tobacco interest is suffer
ing for the Want of it to-day
and has been I since the in
troduction of tile white Hurley
with all of its incre;ised weight made
up of cheap compounds to satisfy a
vitiated taste, "young America"
may say this is uotd fogyish." Well,
call, it what you plejase, but one thing
is certain and cannot be gainsaid,
and that is this ; f' is frufh. Little
Oronoko tobacco will ; Voduce more
pounds to the aero than any other
kind now grown in this country. If
any man thinks to the contrary, let
him speak out andjwe are in a posi
tion to prove this tb the satisfaction
of any reasonable man that has an
extensive experience in the cultiva
tion of the different kinds of tobacco.
One more thought jand 1 will close.
It is not so liable hidamage as .many
other kinds of tobacco. It has more
body and may be covered oer with
white mould and by judicious hand
ling may be entirely removed and
the body of the tobacco preserved
sweet and sound, while all the thin
varieties the mould will strike
through the leaf, anil taint it so that
it will be impossible to restore it so
that the taint will not taste, if it is
free from the smell! This is owing
to the fact that the little Oronoko
has a thick, leathery body that the
white mould does nt strike through
so readily as it does; through the thin
varieties, but if the little Oronoko
is put into bulk with the mould upon
it, the mould will
age
point I wish to make is that if taken
before it is put into bulk and -properly
handled, it inliy "frequently be
saved when other varieties could hot
be saved. f

Durham, N. C, Aug. 4, 1SS8.
n our yesterday's report we failed
get the names of Mr. Joseph Ilol-
loway, of Wake, who' brought in sev
eral loads of tobacco, rather late.
We understand there are only a few
loads of tobacco on the market to-dav.
We learn that Mr. Dorscv Jones, a
nrominont voimr ttilifipiwi Imvm- rn
the Danville market, who is consid
erel rather an expert in the tobacco
business, is on the market to-day.
He "is a brother of our Mr. T. D.
Jojies, and if he is a chip of the same
block, it is good timber, at id we hear
the stock is prolihe. e are glal
as allectuallv dam-
it as any other! variety, but tlu
to report. that we had a nice little
shower last evening.not enough, how
ever, to do any permanent good, but
we trust it is the forerunner of more
abundant and more copious showers
that may result in much good to the
crops, for we have heard the cry of
poor crops and dry weather until it
has become to be distressing. With
a few exceptions North Carolina has
suffered all through the bright belt.
