C, Dec. 8. J Gen. Le&uc, receiver of the wreaked People's National bank at Payette ville, Col. J. B. Starr, and John M. Rose, of ihe same pla.e, were here today on their return from Louisburg, where they made a 6ale of some lan Is on ac count of the bank, the transaction involving 11.600. Today your correspondent talked with President Marion Butler of the Farmers' Alliance and asked some di rect questions. Mr. Butler has always talked frankly with your correspon dent. When asked, "What do you think of the Third party in North Carolina?" ho replied: "As to that I I have no information; I know no more than you do. Of course the Third party is organized in the country at large, and may come over into North Carolina. As to that I cannot say; I have no means of knowing." "Did you ever see one of the circulars pledg ing Alliance men to support the Third party which the Mecklenburg Times says are being sent out?" was next asked, to which Mr. Butler replied: "I never saw one or never heard of one until I saw the matter published in the papers. I know the State Alliance never Bent out such circular add bas nothing whateyer to do with it, and I also know that it is not sent out by the National Alliance." ' Asked about the strength of the Alliance, Mr. Butler said: "I estimate that in the Eastern part of the State about 70 per cent of the farmers are members. J take the counties of Du plin and Sampson as the basis for such a calculation. Why, in , the town of Clinton there is a sub-Alliance with 150 members. In the Western part of tho State the percentage is not to large, and it is ther we are doing our special work. The growth of the order will be in the addition to the member ship of sub-Alliances now existing and not in new Alliances. In the Kast the membership is sufficiently large." Inquiry was made at the Supreme court as to the probable date of the decision of the merchants' purchase tax cases, and it was gtaped' tha,t it would probably not be written until the holidays. If it were tho correct thing to hazard a guess as to the de cision, your correspondent would say it would be in favor of the State. There is always-talk about freight r&tB, aqd today an official of the Sea board Air Lino was talking cf thoie as between Norfolk' ' an4 Wilmington.

Immediately after reading the journal the oath of office was administered to Senator Jones, of Arkansas, re-elected. Serator Cullom's motion of yester day that the oath of office be adminis istered to Mr. Dubi was put and agreed to and the oath was accordingly administered Mr, Dubois. Senator Hoar's similar motion as to Senator Call, of Florida, was also agreed to and the oath was adminis tered to him. On a further motion cf Senator Hoar, the papers in the matter of the creden tials ot Mr. Davidson (claimant for Sen ator Call's aeat) were referred to the committee on Privileges and Elections, with Instructions to investigate and rer port at an early day, and on motion of Senator Hale a like reference was made of the papers in the case of Mr. Clag getr. claiming the seat of Senator Du bois. The Senate tbeo at 12:30 took a re cess till 2 p. m. Although the recess closed at 8 o'clock, nothing took place until 2:35, when Mr. Kerr, the newly elected clerk of the House appeared and de livered a message announcing that the House was organized and ready to pro ceed to business, and that it had ap pointed a committee of three to join a like committee on the part of the Sen ate, to wait upon the President of the United States. Mr. Sherman suggested another r(r ces3 till 3 o'clock to give an opportun ity to the House committee to meet the Senate committee. That, course was agreed to. A few minutes before 3 o'clock the House members of the joint committee made their appearance and being joined by Senators Sherman ftnd Haf; ris, proceeded to the White House. After waiting twenty minutes gena tor Voorbees moved an adjournment stating Gthat the House had already adjourned. The motion was agreed to and the Senate at 3:20 adjourned till tomorrow.

Columbia, 8. C, Dec. 8. The House of Representatives has passed the Child's bill to prohibit the manufacture aid sale of spirits and intoxicating liquors in South Carolina except under certain restrictions. The bill now goes to the Senate, in which body it is ex pected to receive twenty-two votes out of thirty-five. The bill is very stringent in its provisions and is to go into effest in October, 1892. As Governor Tillman has a plan of big own, to diminish the liquor traffic, namely: To take away frommunlc pal ides the revenue derived from licence 5, which he recommended in bis annual message, there is doubt as to his approving the bill should it pass. In this case it will scarcely be possible to secure the nRcessary two-thirds yote in both Houses to pasa the bin oyer the Govtrnor'g veto. The Child's bill was bc,!ed up by monster petitions from all over the State, and the Methodist Conference in session at Darlington, an&he Baptist State Convention for warded theip approval of the measure. The liquor men are nfc fever heat an 4 the fate of the bill in the Senate will be watched with Intense interest through out the State. The attitude of the State press as a rule has been hostile to the passage of the prohibiten bill. mm- m wm Pog Trials at ,elngtont Lejonqton, N. e , Des. 7.
