A HERO'S DI'.MISr. The death of Zelmlon Haml Vance removes the noA popular man of hi time in North Carolina. The (lNtiiijruMieil SenatoV was a man of line abilities. Not only was he j)i-o!al!v the hcst stump speak er known in the South, lut he was equally as niiiehat home is diseuss inir the most important National issues before t!ie Senate or in any other presenee. In his death North Carolina loses a jrallant ami distin frtii -hed son. one it can ill all'ord to lose, especially at this period. lie was honored with the highest oiiiees in the rift of the people, and for thirtv years he has !een with out a rival in their affections. A jrenial nature, comhined with hi;h qualities of mind and character, fu:ni.-hed the elements of his pop ularity, and from his earliest life he was an oliject of public interest. Senator Vance traced his lineage from the best North Carolina fami lies. His paternal grandfather was a Revolutionary hero, and on his mother's side, Col. Zebulon liaird served the State for many years in military and legislative capacities. Senator Vance was I torn in Hun combe county. May l.", ls:jo. He was educated at Washington Col lege, Tennesee, and at the Univer sity of North Carolina, studied law, was admitted to the liar in established himself at Asheville, was chosen county solicitor, and in Is:, I was elected to the Legisla ture. When Thomas L. Climrnian entered the Senate Vance was elected to succeed him in the House of Representatives, taking his seat on December 7, 1."S. He opposed the secession of North Carolina, yet after that step was taken he raised a company and was chosen captain, and soon afterward was appointed colonel of the twenty sixth North Carolina Regiment, which became one of the most fa mous of the organizations of South ern soldiers. In Jst'iJ he was elected Governor w hile serviiur in the Held. He soon saw the impossibility of obtaining suilicient supplies for the troops of his State without recourse to for eign aid. and therefore sent agents abroad and purchased a tine steam ship in the Clyde, which success fully ran the blockade, not only supplying the State troops with clothing and arms, but furnish ing also huge stores for the use of the Confederate Government. He was also conspicuous in his ef forts to ameliorate the condition of Federal prisoners in his State. He was overwhelmingly re-elected for the next two years in lStU. When the National troops occupied North Carolina Governor Vance was arrested ;md taken to Wash ington. D. C, where he was con lined in prison for several weeks. In November, In To, he was elected United States Senator by the Leg islature, but he was not allowed to take his seat, and resigned it in January, 1nTi In the same year he was again a candidate for a sen atorship. but was defeated by Au gustus S. Merrimon, to whom the Republicans gave their votes. He received a pardon from President .Johnson in lsi7, and his political disabilities wen- removed by Con gress in lsTi, s'oie.Kifter he had been refused a seat in the United States Senate by reason of those disabil ities. He continued to practice law in Charlotte, taking no part in politics except his conspicuous efforts as a private citizen to overthrow the reconstruction government of North Carolina. In lsTi'i, after an ani mated canvass, he was elected Gov ernor by a large majority. He re signed on being again elected Unit ed Slates Senator, took his seat on March 4, lsT;, and by his wit and eloquence soon acquired a high rank among the Democratic orators of the Senate. In lsNJ. hL was re elected for the term ending on March 4, ls:l, and was re-elected when this term expired. His pre sent term of service would have ex pired March :. lv.iT. About two years ago lie was so seriously ill that the physicians w ho attended him despaired of sav ing his life. The vitality with which he had been endowed enabled him to light the 'disease, and in the winter of ls'tj he resumed his place in the Senate. His old-time ag gressiveness, however, had left him. It was partly renewed in the extra session last fall, when lie made a speech against the repeal of the silver-purchase clause of the Sherman bill. Except on that oc casion he acted as if he felt that he must save his remaining strength. His appearance compelled his friends to share this opinion, for he had become aged and feeble. May his ashes rest in peace! 'athmal Capital Matters. From our Uegulnr Correspondent. Washington, D. C, April 14, 1SD4. Senator Harris very cleverly out witted the Republican Senators this week and put an end, for the pres ent at least, to Republican fillibust ering to delay the tariff debate. He made a bluff of intending to offer a resolution providing for meeting at 11 o'clock and sitting until G each day. This frightened the Republi cans and they made the proposition that for a week the Senate take up the tariff bill at 1 o'clock and contin ue its debate without roll calls or other interruptions until 3 o'clock. This was exactly doubling the time that had previously been devoted to the tariff bill and being more than the Democrats expected to get with out a struggle was promptly accept ed. Senator Harris is perfectly wil ling that this agreement should con tinue in force for ten days or two weeks longer. Then he will begin to put on the screws in earnest, to bring the debate to an end, begin ning by adding an hour a day to the sittings and continuing until they are continuous, compelling the Re publicans to keep a speaker on the floor at all times. Senator Morgan is the only Senat or who has publicly noticed the ex traordinary address lately published as emanating from a Minnesota Dem ocratic association, referring to twelve Senators as "masked Demo crats'' and opponents to the tariff bill. He made a personal explana tion on the floor of the Senate in which he characterized that address as being like the French method of trying a man in Ins absence and without serving notice upon him. He expressed himself as satisfied with the tariff bill as it now stands and announced his intention to vote for it and his willingness, if necessary, to stay on the floor of the Senate several consecutive daj's and nights, as he had done on other occasions, to listen to Republican fillibustering speeches against it. He said he had been a tariff reformer long before those who had formulated the dia tribe against him, and expected to remain one until we get a fair system of tariff taxation. The most notabje feature of the caucus held by Democratic members of the House this week at which re solutions endorsing the repeal of the tax on State bank currency were adopted, was the speech made by Representative Curninings, of New York, in favor of the resolutions. He told the caucus that the people of New York had cast their votes for the Democratic candidates with full knowledge of the contents of the National platform, and that he was anxious and ready to redeem every plank in that platform. It is the general impression, even among the strongest friends of repeal, that it cannot be accomplished as at present proposed. That is to say. that a majority of the House will vote against unconditional repeal of the law. It might be possible to pass a bill repealing the law which imposed stringent conditions upon the issue of currency by State banks. The caucus was attended by less than one-half of the Democratic member ship of the House. Senator Wolcott's resolution, which was passed by the Senate, requesting the President to open negotiations with Mexico forthe purpose of ob taining the consent of that govern ment to the coining by our mints of standard Mexican silver dollars for export to China and other eastern countries, is generally regarded as a bit of buncombe on the part of Mr. Wolcott, intended to please the friends of silver. Few people believe that Mexico will grant such a re quest. If. as asserted by Mr. Wol cott, the mint capacity of Mexico isn't sufficient to supply the demand for these silver dollars in the East, the question naturally arises, why not increase it? The minting of these dollars is very profitable to Mexico and it seems little short of ridiculous to expect that the Mexi cans would be willing to surrender any of that profit to a foreign nation. It would not surprise me if President Cleveland should ignore the resolu tion entirely, as he may very proper ly do in the exercise of the discre tion vested in him by the Constitu tion. Senator Hill's speech against the tariff bill has been the most talked about event of the week, and Repub lican praise of it has been carried to an extent that must be nauseating to Senator Hill. "Democrats, as a rule, decline to publicly discuss the speech, but the few who do, while conceding Senator Hill's personal right to talk and vote against his party's measure, are practically unanimous in expressing the belief that he has made a great mistake, and that it was aggravated by his uncalled for attack on the adminis tration which he helped to put into power, as well as his slurs upon the Southern Democrats who have stood by the party with true loyalty. SI 00 Henard, SJOO The readers of this i:ih.t be pleased to learn that there is at least on. ilrendeil disease that science has lieen able to cure in all its stages and that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the on ly positive cure now known lo the med ical fraternity. Catarrh heina consti tutional disease, requires a constitution al treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the Mood and nmeuoiis surfaces' of the system, thereby destroying the founda tion of the disease, and giving the pa tient strength by building up the con stitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

According to the Newbern Jour nal, twenty-one of the landlords of that city, have formed themselves into an association for mutual pro tection under the name of "Mutual Landlord's Protective Association' Those who join bind themselves not to rent any house or room to any party or parties unless they first show a receipt establishing that they are square in their accounts with the landlord from whose property they are moving, or prove that they do not then live at the property of anyone belonging to the association. Any member violating the rule laid down is held liable to the party from whose house the renter moved a committee of three of the mem bers, Mr. W. F. Rountree being the chairman, decides what the amount of damages shall be. A committee will be chosen every six months. A two-fold object is expected to be accomplished by the organization one is. to make reasonably certain that anyone moving will pay, and the other is that if anyone is disposed to move frequently in order to beat the landlord out of his rents, to break up the practice and thus cause all tenants to stay longer at one place. If a tenant finds he will have to pay his old rent before he gets in to a new house, it is expected that he will be very likely to remain where he is and continue to pay the same landlord.

I will tell you why. I have suffered from in herited scrofula from child hood. When 37 years of ai;e, my eyes became strangely affected. I could not read after sunset, and when I would close my eyes, I could not open them; but on whichever side I lay. on that side I could open my eye. This condition continued about two years, and was succeeded by An Intolerable Itching all over my body and limbs. I had to tiave my little boys take shoe brushes and scratch me. It was dreadful. It continued a month and was followed Immediately by a tumor in the rijrlit Bide of my neck, as large as a small egg. I at once commenced taking physicians prescrip tions and continued till I lost hope. In the mean time the tumor changed its place to the imme diate front of my neck, suppurated and was fol lowed by others, till six had formed and broken. "Finally, three years ago, another large tu mor seated itself on the point of my collar bone and in six months another half way back on the bone. Both of them soon began to discharge and continued to do so till about seven months ago. I tried everything, including prescriptions. 1 was often so weak that I Could Scarcely Walk and my mind was so confused that I could scarcely attend to my business (school teach ing). I was utterly discouraged. And now my story draws to a close. I began the use of Hood's J? Cures Hood's Sarsaparilla a little less than a year ago, and took five bottles. When I began I had no faith in it. In less tlmn three months both the sores on my shoulder were healed ; I was cured of a troublesome catarrh; and scrofulous habit has stadilv grown l.-ss apparent. I weigh more than I ever did in my life, and am In the Best of Health, considering my constitution. Do you wonder that I believe in Hood's Sarsaparilla? I ran do no less than recommend it every v. here and every way." (ito. A. Zihkle, Mt. Horeb, Tenn.
