Martin Lu ther F rite h was convicted of stealing various articles from a hardware store. A big sensation has. been caused. . Vance and Hampton will go back to tho Senate without a doubt, we think. It looks as if Gov. Gordon will enter tho Senate again from Georgia. Vance and Gordon are Presbyterians. Representative Kennedy has received ecores of letters thanking him for his abuse of Rots Quay. Tom Reed needed tho scoring worse, but Kennedy likes Ciesar of the II()use. General Apathy and General Rascal ity were the ival factors in Fat Tom's victory. ','The New York Etnany 't shows by the figures that the Demo cratic canvass was utterly neglected. Mr. J. K. Bowcn, in LqqnntfAfg May- pays a very handsome tribute to aul Hamilton Hay no. and gives these lines intended for the dead poet: "H's mouldering dust can never hear The U'tiderest footsteps drawing near; Hut fur beyond our Unite view Hi spirit walfcstue boundless blue." What a contrast! Reed's biggest Elaine audience consisted of but 1,500. Hills had ld,000 farmers to hear him at a town of but 1,000 inhabitants in Illi nois. They came in from all the coun try around to hear the able Texan dis cuss taxation and the oppression of the laboring classes. Here is tho very vigorous and point ed language, and we think truthful also, that Mr. Joseph A. Brown, of the famous wholesale importing house in Boston of Brown, Durrell & Co., said: "Tom Reed is a fraud and McKinley is a fraud, and the McKinley bill is the greatest outrage ever perpetrated on the people of the United States. I have voted the Republican ticket all my life, but I tell you the man who made up the new tariff bill and the men who have vpted for it are frauds." Another very sick Republican. There will be tens of thousands like him by November next. It is learned that 30,000 tons of the Farmers' Alliance fertilizer, made at Durham, were sola last season.

MKSSKNGER BURKAU, I jllALKfUH, N. C, Sept. 16. f ; The ltej)ublican county convention' yesterday is not a source of pure de light Uj that party. There will be a lot of scratching, for nejji oes say they intend to "scratch1' Meacham, the candidate for the Senate, and Purnell, one of the candidates for the House, The I)ernora sare well pleased at the? result of. tho convention as well as at the feeling which follows it. Meacham has been a red-hot Democrat, and once said no Republican should ever sleep in his house. Yet your correspondent was assured yesterday he solicited the nomination, it is said he will in a day or two accept the nomination, with drawing from his canvass for Congress. His election to any oHice is an impossi bility, it appears. The rain fell all to day and put a stop to nearly all kinds of work. From ap pearances it will bo a long tain, just the thing the farmers dread? at this season. ' ' The weather has been iust riirht for the development of all that there is in tho "top crop" of cotton and on stiff land this will bo a pretty good crop. At i) o'clock last night the break in the water works supply pipe was re paired and the city was again supplied, to the great satisfaction of everybody. A weekly paper, the Wlmk. is to ap pear here soon, in the interests of local Democracy, and it is whispered that it will be particularly lively. If the weather permits, active work at the permanent camp at Wrights ville, will begin this week. A number of contracts have been awarded bv the Quartermaster General. The tirst one to be carried out will be that for the grading, ' The handsome residence of Mr. Bruce Wright is nearly completed. It is a two-story cattage, in the Queen Ann style. The Supreme court will meot on the 2Gth and 27th to examine applicants for license to practice law. And pro ceed on the Monday following with the call of appeals from the several dis tricts. Seventeen applicants have al ready been registered. The number will doubtless be increased twenty-five is the average for each class. The colored people are conducting a camp-meeting about a quarter of a mile east of . the city. The meeting has been in progress about two weeks, and if shouting and loud singing are any evidence of the fact, great interest is manifested. The meetings are reg ularly attended by large crowds of col ored people and continue till a late hour every night. News was received here to-day that four gentleman in Winston had bought 500 acres of land near the town, for the purpose of organizing a land company, with a capital of $250,000. It has been decided to plant otaheite mulberry: trees for shade at the perma nent camp.. Two hundred will be set out, in well-manured soil. They grow rapidly and afford a most agreeable shade, Cane grass is to be planted on the parade ground, some thirty acres. What are known as the upland plover have made their appearance here. They are found in the grass fields and are a very fine game bird. The new Republican State Executive committee1 held its first meeting this afternoon, John B. Eaves its chairman presiding. F. G. Walser, of Greens no ro, was elected Secretary. A reso lution introduced by J. J. Mott was adopted,! appointing a committee of three to see that every Republican voter in j,he State shall have an oppor tunity to register and in case there was a failure to register, to ascertain the cause ofjthe failure and the name of the registrar. It was announced that the purpose of this was to see whether tUere was a necessity of having the Force bill passed by Congress in De cember, ana also whether that bill is needed in North Carolina. The intro ducer of the resolution asserted that if the State election law was enforced, the Force bill would be a necessity. Favettevllle Notes. PayettevilleN. C, Sept. 10. Special. Last night fire broke out in the store of W. M. Monroe & Son, on Hay street, opposite the Atlantic Coast Line depot. When discovered the entire inside of the store was on fire. This and the adjoining building was destroyed, and two more were considerably damaged, but were saved by the work of our excellent fire de partment. Monroe & Son had a stock of groceries valued at $1,000, with in surance of $G0Q. The beef market of Wm. Tisdale adjoined it, and the con tents were destroyed, with no insur ance. The buildings were owned by Mr. T. S. Lutterloh, and wre insurea but the amount is not ascertained. The attack of the Dallas Eagle on Evangelist "Bill" Fife has created considerable talk here. This is his home, and he has the regard and con fidence of the people, who are proud of him. At his meeting here last spring some of his sermons were remarkable for force and logic and thorough knowledge of the Bible. He did good, and the people feel that this attack on him is uniust. He will continue to do good, notwithstanding the attacks of those who do not agree with him in everything he says. He is unique and earnest, and consecrated. Robert Kay Hamilton Drowned. Xouisviixe, Ky., Sept. 16. Dr. J. O. Green arrived in this city last night.

WASiiiNGTON.Sept. 10. I Senate. I The Senate devoted an hour to bills on the calendar unobjected to. The first bill on the calendar was the Senate bill authorizing the librarian of Con gress to purchase, at not exceeding 30,000, the Townsend Library of National, State and individual records concerning the origin, progress and consequences of the late civil war. This bill occupied the entire hour and was then passed. The Senate bill appropriating 910,000 for the improvement of the road to the National Cemetery near Pensacola, Fla.. was also passed. The conference report on the Rail road Land Forfeiture bill was resumed and Senator Morgan continued his ar gument against it. The conference re port was rgreed to. ' The House anti-Lottery bill was then taken from the calendar and passed without a word of discussion, and the Senate took up the House bill to repeal the timber culture laws. Senator Plumb, who reported the bill back from the committee on Public Lands, moved an amendment in the nature of a substitute. This substitute was itself amended at the suggestion of several Senators and was then passed and a conference asked with the House on the disagreeing votes and Senators Plumb, Pettigrew and Walthall were appointed conferees on the part of the Senate. . The Seriate then took up from the calendar the Senate bill to establish the United States Land court and to provide for a settlement of private land claims in certain States and Territo ries. The bill having been read, was laid aside until to-morrow, and the Senate, at 4:45 o'clock, adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. On motion Of Mr. Taylor, of Ten nessee, the private bill passed for the relief of Admiral S. P.Cooper. On motion of Mr. Houk, of Tennes see, the Senate bill was passed author izing the construction of a bridge across the .Tennessee river at Knox ville; Tenn. The House then proceeded to the consideration of Mr. Enloe's resolution relative to the Kennedy speech. The pending question was on the point of order against the resolution raised by Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio. The Speaker in rendering his decis ion said that there could be no doubt that the legislative proceeding of the two co-orainate branches of. the .Legis lature would be very much impeded if improper reflections were allowed by members of one body upon the members of Hhe other. This was so plain, so well established, that ltLseemed unnec essary to say a word in regard to it. It was founded on that principle which caused the members of the House to speak of each other by phrase rather than by name. It was intended, as far as possible, to keep personal feeling out of legislation, and the chair was only glad, not only for the advantage of the relations between the House and the Senate, but for the advantage of the relations among members of the House that this question should be passed upon in such manner as would maxe an imnrpssinh linnn nil. TVi chair therefore overruled the point of order. Mr. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, offered a resolution referring the Enloe reso lution, together with Mr. Kennedy's speech to the committee on the Judi ciary, witn instructiors to that com mittee to examine the speech and. the rules and practice regulating , debate, and report its findings to the House within three days' The debate on the sunject lasted over two nours ana was participated by Messrs. Blount, Enloe, McMillen, Candler of Massachusetts, Dalzell, Bayne, Cannon., Hoopkins,, Breckinridge, Adams of Illinois, Turn er of Georgia, and Holman. There was some sharp sparriug between Messrs, Enloe, McMillan and Cannon, the two Democratic members having brought into the discussion the occurrences of the day oa which Mr. Cannon created a sensation when replying to Mr. JIc Adoo and two other Republican mem bers exchanged epithets and blows, and Mr. Cannon resented the remarks. Finally Mr. Enloe demanded the previous question upon his resolution, which was so modified as to be an ex pression on the part of the House that it "disapproves and condemns" Mr. Kennedy's speech and the direction to the public printer to expunge it from the permanent Congressional Record. The House refused yeas, S3; nays, 114 to order the previous question. Mr. Bayne again offered his resolu tion referring the whole matter to the Judiciary committee. The clause re quiring the committee to report within three days was 6tricken out on point of order raised by Mr. Enloe. The pre vious question on Mr. Bayne's resolu tion was ordered. The resolution was adopted and accordingly the matter was referred to the committee on Judi ciary. The Speaker announced the appoint ment of the following conferees on the Tariff bill: Messre. McKinley, Bur rows, Bayne, Dingley, Mills McMillen and Flower. - The House then ad iourned. Yesterday's Games. Columbus Columbus 1, St. Lous 0.

An explosion oc curred to-day in the May back pit at Sault cWenndel, Rhenish Prussia, by which twenty-fiye miners were killed. Other men in the pit to the number, of 325 were rescued. Zanzidab, Sept. 16. Travelers from the coast confirm the report of the issue of a decree by the Germans at Bagamoyo, authorizing traffic in slaves. The decree was signed by the German Commandant and was posted at Bagamoyo and Daressalam. Slave dealers expelled from Zanzibar have established themselves at Bagamovo jand are doing a thrivng business. It is reported that the Sultan has tele graphed to Europe for assistance. Emm Pasha has reached Wranye nebo. He found that the Arabs had deserted the district ' Berlin, sept, lb. The rost says: The Sultan's decree prohibiting the slave traffic does not operate in Ger man territory, where, under the ex isting treaties, a uerman commissioner exercises puDiic powers. uermany never had any intention of unquali- fiedly abolishing all forms of slavery. The lieicnsag agreed that measures against slave traffic and man hunting should be taken only by degrees, with due regare to - the existing order of things. Southampton, Sept. 16. Large crowds of dock laborers assembled out side the dock gates this morning wait ing to resume work. The Union and Royal mail steamship companies, which were the last to hold out against the demands of the men, this morning' posted- placards on their docks an nouncing that increased wages would be granted all round. The rupture in the arrangements agreed upon by the men and their em ployers is threatened, owing to the men belnoging to the Union Steamship Company s steamer Moor refusing to go to sea because the boatswain is a non unionists. Fifteen rioters have been committed for trial. The Union Steamship company's men will resume to-morrow. The mayor oi bouthampton la pros trated with congestion of the brain. The troops will be withdrawn to-mor row. Berne, Sept. 16. Reports from Bel lizona state that quiet prevails there. Firing has been heard in the direction of Ballevna, but the Federal troops have been forbidden to go, beyond the outskirts of Bellinzona. M. Respin, Conservative member of theiTicino Cantonal Council, had an interview with President Ruchounet in this city to-day. He demanded the impeach ment of the Rebel officials and the re instatement of the former Government. A battalion of troops has been dis patched to Tesserete to aid in the dis persing of several bands of armed men, which have assembled there. Addi tional reinforcements will probably be required. Conservative shops at Lu gono, which have been closed for sev eral days, are now open again and are decorated with flags. . Rio Janeiro, Sept. 16. The elec tions are now known to be in favor of the Government. Very few opposition candidates have been returned. There has been slight disorder at Ceara; otherwise, complete order ha.3 pre vailed. The poll is a light one. L6NDON, Sept. 16.

The sanitary police this afternoon completed the census of the second ward of this city. It shows a total of 1,196 residents of the ward instead of 922 as reported by the census men. This is an excess of near ly 30 per cent over Porter's figures. The health commission, after consider ing this, adopted a resolution setting forth tnatJthe evidence pointed clearly to the conclusion 'that the census of this city, as announced, is both inac curate and incomplete, and calls upon the Mayor to order a new census to be taken of all the inhabitants of the city.

VAS!HNtiTO'N. Sept. 16.' Thoe bel ligerent 'Republican member who were tnrea ten leg a lew week ago to utterly demolUh the Senate amend ments to the . TarifT bill are now a docile as lamM, and there are no indi cat'or.s that thev will make anv except a terf unctorv fiiht aikin? them. Th "Senate will undoubtedly have it wav in the rt"hferntv mmmiiti aud it i quite probable that the bill. when sent to the Prudent, will : br substantially as it stands to-day. Speak er Reed and those Republican mem bers who agree with him that the reciprocity feature of the bill, a pro posed by Mr Blaine and tierfeelod- by the Senate, is a delusion and a mi a re. have decided to take their medicine with as much grace as possible. A week or two ago the Speaker wait mak ing preparations cto organize a fight in the Iloue against the reciprocity amendments. The situation has changed now, and the Speaker will accept the bill as sent over from the Senate. A canvass of the House has developed the fact that more than three-fourths of the Repub lican members are outspoken in favor of reciprocity. Hence it would be un less for Speaker Reed to antagonize the pet scheme of his eneinv. Mr. Blaine. THe impression that the Tariff bill will have au easy passage through the conference committee has revived the talk of adjourning before October 1, and many members oL both Houses now predict that if th Tariff bill is disposed of within a week, which seems likely, adjournment will be had on Sat urday, the 27th inst. Washington, Sept. 1 . The con ferees on the -Tariff bU had an in formal meeting to-night at the resi dence of Senator Aldrich. No action was taken, the eveuing being spent in a general discussion and exchange of views. In view of the delay in select ing conferees on the part of the House, it is believed now that the bill will not be reported by conferees to thti Senate before Monday next. YeteTiay's itace.

Further pro gress was made to-day toward the con solidation of the Cincinnati and Louisville-tobacco warehouses. A meeting was held attended by representatives from both cities and their attorneys, and while there was some discussion over the form of the contract and of its charter, there was a substantial agree ment and the Louisville parties have gone home to secure the signatures of their houses.

There will be is sued $1,000,00 in bonds, secured by personal and real mortgages at f'y per cent. $2,000,000 of preferred stock at 8 percens. and $2,0J0,0K) common stock. H.

The warehousemen are reported as be ing willing totaKe about $2,000,000 of the stock. It will require $3,0u0,00 to uy in the property and this will leave two million for a working capital. The PreeMent at Omton Mprlnc. Cresson Springs, Pa., Sept. 16. The President's mail this morning waa light. Although he transacted coasiderable business it was mainly of routine and unimportant character. Mr. George W. Boyd, of the Pennsyl vania railroad arrived here this morn ing in Vice President Thomson's ele gant private car and placed it at Presi- Ident Harrison's disposal during his stay at Uresson. it win oe usea in making short trips to many points of interest in this vicinity. The early adjournment of Congress will shorten the President's vacation in the moun tains, as it is his purpose to be in Washington during the clewing of the session.
