Special Correspondence of Thk Plant. - Washington, D. C, July 0. Hon. Robert Porter, Superintendent of the Census, is rapidly formulating plans for taking the next census. . -There arc 1 75 supervisors of the census to be appointed, and each of these will have the appointment of :J00 enum erators. These enumerators arc to begin work by June 1st. In a few weeks there will be an examination of applicants for positions in the cen sus office, -.something similar to a civil service examination. A speci men of the examination papers will be submitted to the Secretary of the Interior for his approval before the examination takes place. :; ' I. '" Senator Chandler was given a handsome reception by the New Hampshire people living in! Wash ington last night. A fine collation was served and much speaking done. The occasion seems to have been so pleasant that Bill Chandler actually refrained from making any uncharitable allusions to the South, as is his usual custom. To-day the President signed the Commissions of a number of En signs, among which were those of Messrs. Andrew T. Long, Thomas Washington, Archibald II. Davis, Archibald II. Scales and W. G. Mc Millan. After repeated eonlerenees with the party leaders, the President has determined to call an extra session of Congress November 1st. I sent this to The Plant several days ago, but it has been confirmed to-day from a most trustworthy source. The Commissioner of Pensions has been advised that R. II. Hood, alias Wright Maroney, has been arrested in the Western district of j North Carolina upon the charge of falsely personating a government official. He gave bond lor his appearance at the next term of the United States Court at Chattanooga, Term. Mr. Brower was one of the i Presi dent's visitors this morning. I have not yet been able to get? at the par ticulars of the Shaffer Harris inter view. Those interested do not want the facts to set out. Yesterday morning Mr. Sterling Ruffin, of . North Carolina, of the Treasury Department, entered the Langham Hotel to settle a bill that was owed there by a friend, j Theo dore S. West, the proprietor of the hotel, drew up the bill, and Mr Ruf fin disputed its accuracy. j Probably because of the Sullivan Kilrain fight the two gentlemen were feeling very belligerent, and in a moment Mr. Ruffin planted a blow with his umbrella against Mr. West's nose. For this he was ar rested, but the case in the police court was continued lor a week. There is something more behind this item, for Sterling Ruffin is one of the most quiet and gentlemanly men in this city. : News from tlie State Capital. Special Correspondence to The' Plant. Raleigh, N. C, July 9, '89. Everything still yields its main at tention to the Grissom investigation here. Dr. Grissom continued to oc cupy the stand this morning. ' His testimony was somewhat more in teresting than for two days past. He was examined with reference to the statement made by witness King, who testified he sdw through the key hole certain unmentionable things. Dr. Grissom produced a written statement, which wras signed by King, to the effect that he did not know of any cruelty toward patients or any improper conduct on the part ot the Superintendent, also to the ef fect that he had heard that one Tay lor had been discharged from the Asylum on account of improper con duct towards females of the institu tion. The morning after the witness signed the statement, he asked per mission to retract that portion with reference to Taylor. Dr. Grissom said he agreed to this, and asked him if he still said he knew of no im mor ality on his (Grissom's) part. King replied, "Twill tell you all about that later." He then asked King to tell him then ; that it might soon be too late. The Dr. said, "1 made the request more than once." King be came angry and defiant and j said : "Dr. Grissom, you haveaskedmethe same question four or five times and I don't want you to do it again." He was very abrupt. I said to him, "Mr King, if you try to buldose me I will kill you." He then left.1 In contin uation of evidence, Dr. Grissom said : 'j'The testimony of T. J. Harris was an artful mixture of truth and false hood." fHarris fpstifipr, that Dr Grissom made him sign a paper at ne point ot a pistol, and so ingnt ened him that he left the institu tion). Dr. Grissonvs evidence with reference to this was substantially as tollows : For a long time Harris had sub- ectcd himself to discipline on account of -his occasional drunkenness, but had been retained on account ol some skill as an attendant. He was finally eported to have slandered some of he female nttondnnts T summoned him to the office, with Mr. J. M.-Fer- ell, an attendant, and after a close xamination, thev both acknowledged hemselves parties to the scandal. old them that I should require of them to sign a retraxit, under pain 01 prosecution before the law. Thev )Oth wrote out a history of the scan dal and made a retraxit. Harris acknowledged that he had suggested to. Fcrrcll the basis of the slander, After Mr. Fcrrcll had begged anil ini plored, 1 handed him back his libel, believing him to have been a tool in the hands of the other man.- I told Harris his name had become a little notorious about the institution on account of his talk about females. In consequence of his answer which com promised a lady who had been here but was then married, I opened my desk and took out a pistol and said. fyou infamous, internal scoundrel; you are a defamcr of female charac; ter, and if you don't leave the insti tution, I will blow your brains out,:? and he retired. Dr. Grissom denied the extent of the charges of misappropriation of Supplies. He admitted having, at times, given away from the garden and farm some plants, etc., but never to such an extent as would injure the asylum. The proceedings of the evening session were more interesting than they have been for the past few days, several witnesses, among them Messrs. A. A. Holton, C). S Causey, J. II. Mills, N. C. Jarrell and . 1. Ragan, all ot Guilford county, were put on the stand, all of whom testified to the excellent character of Miss Burch, with whom Dr. Grissom is reported to have had illicit inter course. On cross examination, they all said they, had known nothing of Miss Burch since she came from Guilford county to the asylum. They had never heard anything against t er character. Mrs. V. C.Jones, of Granville, was put on the stand. She was an attendant at the institution for eighteen years, and testified to the kind treatment of patients by Dr. Grissom ; also to the effect that she never Knew oi any improper con duct ton the part ot Dr. Grissom toward the female attendants. Miss Ella Edwards, of Chatham county, in her testimony, offered some damaging evidence to Dr. Grissom. Rev. R. II. Whitaker was put on the -stand and said : I met JVJLiss Edwards on the train. It was io February or March, 1888. I had taken my seat on the cars and was reading when a lady, attended by a colered boy, came in weeping. I introduced myself and asked what was the trouble. She said she had lieard that her mother was very ill. She said she had been at the Insane Asylum as an attendant she liked the asylum very much indeed.-: I soon! concluded that part of her grief: was because of leaving the asylum. I conversed with her about Lr. Grissom, and the impression made upon me was that Dr. Gris som made an excellent superintend dent. She told me that it was rarely the case that restraints were used. She said that she expected to return whether her mother died or not. She spoke in very high terms of Dr. Gris som. She frequently alluded to Dr. Ivogers, and I intimated that I thought she and the Doctor were sweethearts. She made no reply; except to smile. She did not inti mate or state that Dr. Grissom had ever treated her improperly in any manner, shape or form. At this point the. board adjourned till to morrow. It is now thought that trie case may be concluded this w eek and perhaps by Thursday ev emng. Owing to the amount of evidence taken and the necessity of copvine an additional stenographic re porter was employed this morning. ; A Duty to Yourself. It is surprising that people will use a copmon, ordinary pill when they can se cure a valuable English one for the same mjney. Dr. Acker's English pills are a pcimice cure for sick-headache and all liver troubles. They are small, sweet, easily taken and do not gripe. U. Black nail & Son. Found in the Newspaper.

Quite a large line of good wrappers were taken by a speculator to supply the western trade, and order men have bought in pa.t lew days; more than a hundred packages ot medium to goo hriirht wrappers, all of which will be shipped at once. Our local manufac turcrs have bought sonic new press tillers at from 7 to 8 cents and some frosted lugs at low prices. Sun-cured ollerings do not show as good quality as heretofore and prices are consequently within a lower rane. Receipts are vcrv much in excess of shipments just now. .J. M. Taylor. Only One of the Keasons. . Tobacco. The following paragraph, taken from the Southern Tobacco Journal, is as fair a sample of the bosh that finds its way into print j as any ex ample we have yet seen : Why is it that the Blackwell Dur ham tobacco Com pan v is the larg est smoking tobacco establishment in the world ? Because it is located in a section where the finest smoking leaf in the world is grotvn. To properly answer the question asked in the above would require a carefully-prepared history of the in side working of a business extending over a period of many years, and a sketch ol the business career of at least four able and competent men While we acknowledge that the choice of location, where the to bacco oould be readily procured, was not unfavorable to the growth ot the enterprise, we still hold that the men whose brains directed the de velopment and forced its expansion to the present broad limits should have their tare share ol credit. Blackwell's Durham Co Operative Tobacco Company would be a puny, insignificant concern indeed u-it de pended upon the site on which theii factory ,was built and its convenience to the section where a particular kind of tobacco is grown. It is brains, Mr. Editor, large, broad intellects, full of j ideas, and having a comprehensive grasp on the forces that govern and control trade throughout our broad land that brought about such abundant sue cess. I We note the reason assigned bv the Southern Tobacco Journal, also what the New York Tobacco has to say. Messrs., Editors, one more rea son, if you please, may! be added : It is the very superior quality of the goods When once triec cannot be denied. Koxboro as a Tobacco Market. Southern Tobacconist. Roxboro, North Carolina, is mak- ing preparations for an active to- bacco market in the near future Two brick warehouses are now in course of erection and will be com pleted in time for the fall Irade. The building of the Lynchburg & Dur ham railroad has caused this stimu- lous among Roxboro's business men. The road will soon be completed to Roxboro and is expected through to Durham within the next vear. Roxboro is situated in one of the fin est tobacco growing sections in North Carolina and stands a good chance of reaping a fair share of the tobacco trade of that section. Stock Taking Week. Southern Tobacconist This has been stock taking week in the great Durham Bull factory at Durham. This great concern stens boldly forward year, after year, in creasing its trade in all parts of the world and selling the best tobacco that was ever put in a pipe. ; 1 Pimples on the Face Denote an impure state of the blood ami are looked upon by many with suspicion.

We have had a great many meet ings among the delegates in the line of their work at home and in Lon don, those in the forenoon being gcnerallv given to talks on methods in Sunday School work- in the after noon to executive and other com mittee meetingsand in the evenings to prayer and praise. On Sunday we had services in the Dining Saloon.! Rev. Dr. Warren Randolph, of Newport, R. I read the eervicepf the Church of England, and Rev. Dr. F. H. Marling, of New York, preached a short sermon from the text "God, whose i' I am and whom I serve," Acts 27;33. We had Sunday School service at 3 p. m. with MrJ Marian Lawrence, of Toledo, O., as Superintendent, and a full corps of assistants, in all departments. Mr. Lawrence, at the close of the session, reviewed the lesson of the day, "Jesus Risen," in a masterly manner. He is a won derful man, a model Sunday School Superintendent. 1 He has a school with a membership ol 042 with an average attendance of 531 in a church whose membership is only 245 ; 102 of his scholars were per fect in attendance and les8on last year. This is a model for us to work by. The Sunday evening sermon was delivered by Rev. H: M. Wharton, of Baltimore, from the text, "The Lord of hosts is with us, " and was greatly enjoyed by all present. Monday morning, Rev. Dr. Pelou bet talked upon the subject, "How should teachers prepare the lesson1' and gave us many valuable sugges tions. We also had a good talk by Miss Harlow, of Lowell, on "Work in the Primary Department outside of the Sunday School hour." We have also had profitable talks or symposiums on "The Superin tendent's Work,": "Use of the Black board," "Reviews and Teacher's Meetings." I ' Friday, June 2S, 1SS9.

All steamers of the United States and Liverpool lines stop at Queenstown, going either way,1 for mails and fresh fishJ It will require another day's run to reach Liverpool, and then a run of six hours j to reach London, which point we do not expect to reach before Sunday and probably not until Monday, as there are few Sunday trains, arid most of us pre fer to stay in Liverpool over Sunday rather than make a Sunday journey to London.
