Just l;ke the man first and foremost always 111 every good work is that patriotic and philanthropic gentleman. Would that North Carolina had more Julian S. Carrs within her borders. This sort of testimony from Presi dent Winston is very gratifying to the friends of the State I'mversity. He says that during the twenty eight years he lias heen connected with that institution he has never known less vie, immorality, idleness and disorder than at present. This condition of affairs speaks well for its administra tion. Wi. fully endorse what the Winston Tobacco Journal says in the following paragraph : The North Carolina Agricultural Department deserves praise. It is justifying itself, and showing that the people's money is not wasted hy lurnishing the newspapers matter of real value to the farmers. The articles are practical, timely ami helpful, and are sent out in a shape that insures I r them publication and wide circulation.

Tiik (Ireensboro Record, rommeii: mg on the appointment ol cx-( "10'. ui"r Jarvis to succeed the lamented Vain as I niled Stales Senator, says : Cov. Jarvis will perhaps come nearer filling Ciovernor Vance's shoes than any other man in the State. His ability, honesty ol purpose and uprightness of character is without question. The only thing the Record has heard against his election is that he is an eastern man. We heartily endorse his appointment. Ai.1.1 dim; to the fact that some Virginia paper does not understand why Mr. Henry declined to go to the obscure and almost unknown region to which he was appointed, the Wil mington Messenger says : There is no salary attached, and the fees, it is reported, rarely equal $2,200. That is small pay for a good lawyer, a man of ability, to leave home and civilization to serve a great Republic in a little island somewhere in the " deep blue sea." Put we see it mentioned that it was a very sickly hole to which he was sent so sickly that no insurance company would take a risk on his life if he went there. We repeat, Mr. Henry deserves better treatment at the hands ol the Presi dent. At. moiv.H Senator Jarvis is a resi dent of the Kastern part of the State, he is a North Carolinian in every fibre and sentiment, and will repre sent the interest of the people ot the whole State, we are sure. P.road minded, unsectional and patriotic he will know no East or West but labor for the good of all. The Winston Sentinel quotes him as saying this: In an interview with Mr. H. E. Fries in Raleigh Senator Jarvis said : "You can say to the people of your section that I shall use my best efforts to attend to the wishes, and advance the interests of the people of every section of North Carolina. While I live in Eastern North Carolina, I feel equally at home in the West, and I am ready at all times to labor with and for your people to the best of my ability." Wr. Wai.tkr R. Hknkv, of Hen derson, has leen nominated for Consul at Curacoa, one ot the West India Islands off the coast of Venezuela. It belongs to the Dutch and the population ot the island is about 25,000. Mr. Henry was the best endorsed man that was an appli cant for office from North Carolina. We hope it is a good salary. Elizabeth City Economist-Falcon. The North Carolina Press Con vention meets at Morgantan this year on the 23rd and 24th ol next month. Morganton is a growing, enterprising town, and the editors will have an opportunity here of going through the large State Asylum and visiting the Waldensian colony which is near by. No doubt a trip will also be given the editors to Round Knob, which is also in close proximity. Waynesville Courier. r,V.

The farmers who come so town these days arc full of pditics. You may try to pin them down to the exclusive subject of crops, but you can't keep them there. As sure as pop they will jump from corn and cotton to Ransom and larvis, and they are all in glee over Jarvis' appointment. " I see Jarvis is laying his pipes for Ransom," said a Steel Creeker to the A'eros to day, "and he's going to get him." The speaker, a representative man of the county, said lurther tlTat one of the issues of the campaign will be Ransom. "Just let any candidate come out and say he is for Ransom, and under he goes," said he. He says that this is the sentiment among the country Xctcs. people. Charlotte Jivening YANCK AT KKST. To the tolling of bells and amid a general suspension of business, t lie re mains of Zebulon ISaird Vance, the be loved and loving son of Iluncombe and greatest of all North Carolinians, were consigned to their last resting place today. In Riverside cemetery they lie, borne thither surrounded by men whom he had led in war, and whose dearest friend he was in peace, and followed by hundreds whose hearts were saddened by this great calamity that has befallen the Old North State. There in the family plat, overlooking the beautiful French Proad river, the noble Senator sleeps the sleep of the just, to await the sounding of t he trump and to hear the final judgment, " Well done, good and faithful ser vant." Puncombe county and North Carolina lay their flowers and their hearts' love at his tomb and mourn the death of a man whose place in their alfl-ct ions none can fill. The immortal part is enshrined in '1- hearts of the people. It will be guarded and cherished while the name of Vance remains as it is now a house hold word and an inspiration for the present generation at least. History vi!l always record that he did his work as becomes the true man, from motives 1 honest conviction, out of a pure heart and througn love ot ins tellow man. He was no time sever. Years hence the student of Vance's day and time may fail to conclude that he was a great man in the sense of being among our few constructive statesmen; but it will forever clearly appear that he served his State and people with entire disregard of self, and that the more his natural gifts developed, the moie he devoted them to the service of North Carolina, reserving nothing to himself. Great emergencies, should tney be presented, may yet result m bringing a more brilliant intellect to the service of the State ; but we can not realize that they can reveal a man who shall rest so near to the hearts of the common people as Vance has done. Asheville Citizen iSth. RANSOM AT VANCE'S PIHK. The Washington Post, speaking of the address of Senator Ransom Monday in announcing the death of his colleague to the Senate, says: Seldom has a duty of this kind been performed in that place with grander etl'eet. The words fell from the lips of the orator, in a voice mellowed by tender pathos, and with a .sweetness of utterance that penetrated every heart. Very few Senators vcrc missing from their seats, and all listened with rapt attention to the beautiful tribute in which the speaker pictured the virtues and lamented the death of his late associate. The address was exquisite ; it was a gem ; it deserves to become a classic ; we remember nothing finer ; and the Raleigh iVews truly says it should have a place in future North Carolina readers. Few men are capable of such utterances, and one can imagine how much this superb oration gained from the melodious voice, the graceful oratory, the stately manner of the speaker. A great North Carolinian lay dead and Gen. Ransom demon strated at his bier that a great one remains. As Vance shed lustre upon the State by his own illustrious career," so Ransom demonstrated before the Senate and country, in his annouce ment and eulogy, that he was worthy to have been the dead man's yoke fellow.

The appointment of e -Governor Thotna., Ionian larv i as sue c , ,or to the greatly lamented Senator Vance urtil the Legislature meets. w;li give much satisfaction, we may not doub. to a majority of the Democrats of the State. He has perhaps a larger follow ing and greater influence than any other public man in the State. It is not surprising that this should be so when it is remembered that he has been a very prominent politician and political canvasser in North Carolina since 1H60 twenty-five years. lie has been twice Governor, and his personal and party friends regarded his administration of affairs as emi nently practical and successful. While some complained ol some things done, the great mass of the Democracy were in hearty accord and warmly supported his two terms. He is one of the most level-headed men in politics to-day. He is a wise, sound and able leader, and is a Demo crat of the genuine kind undeviat ingly, unfalteringly Democratic and with the people. His whole political life shows this. As a canvasser, a campaigner, he is excellent one of the best in the State, and in matters pertaining to home affairs surely without a peer. In the Senate he will act on the well defined lines of the Democracy and will stand upon the platform of his party. He will be no shirker or wobbler. The President will never make a " cuckoo" ot him. Mark it. Whether looking for his future suc cess his re-election as Senator next winter it was a wise act to accept the place for eight or nine months, is just what people will speculate about. He evidently must think that being in will strengthen his chances or he would not take the risk he does. But in ac cepting he makes it certain that the fight must be between him and Ransom, as the East can not have both Senators by vote of the Legisla ture. If he had declined some Western man would have gove in now, and would probably have been elected next winter. There were some dozen Parkises all standing ready and anxious and all are disappointed. It may be that thev will prefer Ransom to suc ceed himself, feeling sore under dis appointment. Put be all this as it may, we believe that Governor Jarvis is the best man for the place under the circumstances. We know of no Western man h's equal in political wisdom, ability and service. He carries a very level head and is a true North Carolinian. Like the great Senator he succeeds, he is one oi the people, in full touch and sympathy with them, and believes in the sound doctrine of the sovereignty of the people that this is in fact as in theory a Government of the people and by the people and lor the people.

After thoughtful consideration 1 have concluded to comply with the Governor's wishes and I have accepted the trust. In the discharge of these new duties I shall try to justify his action and to merit the approval of the people without regard to locality or county, and in my best endeavors to serve them the noble example of our dead Senator shall be an inspiration to me. 1 am not unmindful of the fait that for many years past there has beeu a custom, amounting to something of an unwritten law in our party, that one of our Senators shall be taken from the Eastern and one from the Western part 01 itie Mate. netner this a wise arrangement or not, 1 do not propose to be in the way ot the people's con tinumg it if they shall so desire. 1 have accepted this temporary appoint ment made bv the Governor, under conditions and for reasons which I need not discuss, with a distinct pur pose that I will not be a candidate before the legislature'for the two-vears term. A larirc number of worthy names have been suggested iu the papers in connection with this place aud I wish to say to each and to all of these gentlemen and their friends that so far as I am concerned the lield is open to them, and they will not have the disadvantage of having to antago nize a man who is already in office and appealing for an endorsement. Any person who mav desire to do so may iu his own way' and in his own liimAiptfi for this position with the positive assurance that there will be no conflict between him and me.

J Eni-ron Goi.r Leaf : The death i of Senator Yauee, while not entirely unlooked ior. sent a thrill .0; sorrow to every heart, and North Carolina mourns the departure of her noblest and most gifted son. I notice that Dr. T. J. IJoykin, of Baltimore, was amom; those who accompanied his remains to their la-t resting place. Of his relations with our beloved Vance, my former preceptor, ami Gov. Vance's Surgeon General and intimate friend during the war, Dr. Edward Warren, thus writes of their former associations: "Of Dr. Boykin I will say en passant that a more loyal and pure hearted man never lived, and that he commauded iu a pre-eminent degree the respect and confidence of all who knew him.'' His love for Gov. Vance his former com mander, has ever beeu like that of Damon for Pythias, a bcutimeut iu corporating itself into his entire life and elucidating in its unreserved admiration and unselfish service much of the true dignity aud inheraut ex cellence of human nature. I am proud to call such a man my friend, and feel a fresh inspiration to virture in con templation of his noble character and honorable life; and it seems as if Dr. Warren's testimony as regards the close friendship is true, as I notice Dr. Boykin is with those who are going with the beloved A'ance to his grave. Dr. Warren proceeds in following to give a description of the visit of this Commoners to the army which may be of interest ami is undoubtedly a graphic and true picture of the scene enacted iu the days which 4 tried men's souls" aud found them true. Said the dis tinguished Christian aud eminent surgeon : In my humble judgment no nobler man than Zebulon Haird Vance was ever created. With an iuhereut kindness of heart which tempers and softens his entire nature; a respect for justice and right which asserts itself under all possible circumstances; a sense of the ridiculous from which wells out a stream of humor at once copious, sparkling and exhaust less, and an intellect which, like some great oak of the forest, is at onee "a tower (jf strength" and a "thing of beauty forever," now braving the hurri cane's breath and the lightning's Hash, and then adorning the landscape by its grandeur, its symmetry and its verdure. I have analyzed his heart from core to covering, and I know that in its every cell and liber it is oi the purest gold without the trace of alloy or a taint of counterfeit. 1 regard this period as the golden age of my existence. It is true that the din of a fearful contest continually reverber ated iu my ears and that dark clouds cdveloped the horizon; but happiness reigned in my household; my daily duties brought me into intimate association with one of the truest of friends and the most genial of men; his friendship secured for me the regard of the best men of the State, and I realized that I was engaged in a noble work, a service which was at once honorable in itself, invaluable to my country and acceptable in the sight it Heaven. Among tin? most pleasant incidents of mv service asa member of theUovernor's Staff was a visit which I made with him to the Army of Xortliern Virginia in the winter 01 ISO.s. lb; was then a candidate for re-election to the Gubernatorial chair, having filled it for one term with great eclat, but being opposed by a certain faction at home, which proclaimed itself for "peace uid reconstruction on any terms. 1 his lppeal, it was feared, had produced some impression upon the minds of thesoldiers 111 tlie tield, una though the ostensible object of the visit was the advancement of Ins political interests, its real purpose was to rekindle tlie tires of patriotism in the hearts of the Xorth Carolina troops, and to cheer and stimulate the entire army. I had supposed that I knew him thoroughly and appreciated him fully, but 1 had no conception of Ins gifts as an orator and of the potency of his personal magnetism until this memor able occasion. Inspired alike by the peculiar surround ings and the importance of his mission, he transcended himselt and produced an impression upon the army, from its great Captain to its humblest private, which displayed itself in the wildest enthsia.sm for the cause and the most intense idolatry for its eloquent advocate. J hat he should have been thus inspired is not surprising, for the circumstances which surrounded him would have stirred the heart of any man. General Lee ordered a general review his -special honor an incident, I believe, without parallel in the history of the army. Fponan immense plain in theimmediate neighborhood of Orange Court House there were assembled the troops which composed the then unconquered Army of Xortliern Virginia. These were clad in rags but wreathed with victory; their Hags were soiled and tattered, but upon them were inscribed the immortal names of Cold Harbor, Manassas and South Mountain ; their arms were battered and blackened but their fire startled the nations and reverberated around the world ; their bands were decimated and out of tune, but they still discoursed the inspiringstrains of "Dixie," "The Bonnv P.lue Flag," and " The Girl I Left Behind Me." And though many a gallant leader was absent because "off duty" forever, Jackson. Lonifstreet, Stuart. Earlv. Ewell, Hill, Rhodes, Gordon. Hampton. Pettigrew and Fitzhugh Lee were there to do honor to Carolina's illustrious son. Arrayed iu two confront insr lines and with their bronzed faces beaming with pleasure and expectancy, the noble veterans awaited the coming of the old chieftains whom they had followed in triumph so long, arid of the youthful Governor, whose devotion to the cause and tender care of his own troops had already made him the idol of them all Finally the cannon boomed, and General Lee and Governor Vance appeared, and. amid a storm of enthusiastic cheers and avalanche of friendly greetings, rode slowi.v alone- the excited lines. It was a stirring scene, and as I rode with this distinguished company and gazed into the battered but radient faces around me, and listened to the grand ' ( onfederate yell," which met their Kfeat commander and Ids honored truest. I felt that it was indeed an occasion to be remembered, and realized that I stood in the presence of heroes and conquerors of the men who had made history, and even from their enemies the reputation of being "the bravest soldiers who ever marched to the music of battle So soon as the review if that militarv love least can be so designated was enueo, rue men and officers came crowd ing around the elevated platform which had tieen prepared for the orator, and ior two nours gave nun their most earnest attention. The day was truly a proud one for V.-v-k l'.-- . 1 r , ... -uuiM uumuii aim ior ner gntea son, i nd a more appropriate, effective and 1 "lo,llient- address was never ottered by i human lips.

Xot' a manwho heard the impassioned outburst of patriotic inspiration would have hesi tated to die for his country : and I am convinced that in many an hour of supreme peril afterward it rang like trumpet tones through the soul of those who heard it, inspiring them to a high r courage, a nobler effort, purer patriotism and a more heroic martyrdom for the cause which thev loved so well. If aught of lakewaimness or despondency had been produced bv the machinations of a selfish faction at home thev vanished as the morning mist before the rising sun under the spell of this good man's match less eloquence. I heard General Lee remark that Ciovernor Vance's visit to the army had been equivalent to its reinforcement by fifty thousand men: and it sowed the sed of a friendship between those two true hearted patriots which fructified even amid the dark days preceding the surrender, and grew and strengthened long after the land which they loved so well had drained the cup of sorrow to the drugs. It was then that he made classic the term "tar heel," which others had hitherto applied in derision to the Xorth Carolina soldiers, by addressing them us " fellow tar heels" and demonstrating that the sobriquet was but a synonym of that tenacious courage which made them stick to their post in the hour of danger upon so many hard fought fields to their, own imperishable honor and to the eternal glory of the mother State; and ever afterward, during the war and up to the present moment, the most subtle compliment which can be paid to a Xorth Carolinian who followed the banner of the Confederacy in all of its vicissitudes of fortune until it was furled forever at Appomattox, is to call him by that homely but blood baptized appella tion of " tar heel." Dr. Warren has this year died, and so soon followed by the man whom he loved so well aud defended in every conflict. Thus it is, men are passing away, greatness, honor and renown all are going to the eternal home, and may we all feel as we approach the inevita ble the beautiful sentiment expressed in the closing verse of the touchiug hymn read by the distinguished Dr. Hoge in his remarks at Senator Vance's funeral iu Washington : Then when on earth I breathe no more The prayer oft mixed with tears before, I'll sing upen a happier shore, " Thy will be done !" THE NATIONAL CAPITOL. Our Correspondent Writes Inter estingly of Various Topics. 419 G., X. W., Washington, D. C, April 24, 1894. The overshadowing topic with Wash ington is the coming of C'oxey and his arniv of unemployed workiugmeu. The ' Wilson Pill" has had to take a back seat and even the Preckinridge-Pollard case dwindles before the all-consuming subject. Morning, noon and night; at the table and around the fireside; in the office and on the street corner; in season and out of season Loxey s Army holds the boards. 1 he District Commissioners on Monday issued a proclamation in which they advise the different bodies, marching to join the main bodyT before entering Washington, to turn back, stat ing that there is no work here for them, that their coining can not possibly ad vance their cause or ameliorate their condition in any way and finially that the laws relative to the parading of large organized bodies, through the streets of Washington will be strictly enforced. It is impossible to tell what theoutcome of the whole business will be, but I fear that if harsh measures are used toward these people it will result in very much magnifying the importance of the move ment and give the "calamity howlers" and anarchistic orators all the material they want upon which to base their har angues " agin the government." These people are coming here claiming that they want work, yet when two hun dred of them were offered work at East St. Louis a few days ago at $1.50 a day they refused. It seems that they are very choice about their labor. If one chances to be a hod carrier he can not roll a wheelbarrow or throw a pick be cause that is out of the line of his pro fession. In like manner would a steve dore refuse to cut cord wood. If thetruth were known I expect the vast majority of Coxey's men would be a badly disap pointed lot of people if they should come and find good honest work awaitins? them. The advance guard, which consists of two men, arrived in the city late Monday evening and at once reported to Colonel Kudstone who is the local representative of the movement. 1 hese men have the appearance of thrifty farmers. They each bear the name of White and each is in his forty-second year of acre. One of them is a Confederate veteran, who served with Co. I, sixty-first Va. Infantry, and the other a veteran of the Fnion who bore arms with the Ohio troops. One of the most inconsistent things about their "army"' is that they arecry ing hard times lustily, yet they claim to have money to pay their own way. Their leader, "Citizen" Coxey, is now in New Y'ork selling horses at almost fabulous prices and from all accounts he person ally has little room for complaint at Dame Fortune. Since I have alluded to the celebrated breach of promise suit recently so promi nent before the people, I want to say that I think (and I am not alone by any means) the verdict awarding Miss Pol lard fifteen thousand dollars, or fifteen cents for that matter, an abomina tion. Xo one will plead for Colonel Breck inridge anything but guilty. There is and could be no excuse for a man of his standing and holding the honorable position he does to fall so low, but to award this woman damages when she had willingly and persistently submitted herself to the man whom she knew to be married, whom she could not, and did not, hope to ever marry, is an inordinate stretch of justice, it seems to me. Miss Pollard is a bold, bad, shameless woman who took advantage of the death of his wife to win Col. Breckinridge either by marrying or exposing him. He is a bad man and should have been exposed, but she is a worse woman and should nofhave been given a verdict. It is a source of gratification that the Democrats in the Senate are rapidly get ting together on the tariff and I believe the Wilson bill will become a law and be put into operation not later than the first of July. The Democratic party and the country would be in much better shape had this long wished for reform been inaugurated long ago, but better a little late than never. The working plans for the . Post-office and Custom House building at Xew Berne are in the hands of the Supervising Architect for final adjustment, and a? soon as this is finished, which will be a matter of onlv a few days, the contract will be submitted for bids. It is to be sincerely hoped that some of our own ex cellent Xorth Carolina firms will secure the contract. I see no reason why Vance county should not furnish the granite for the structure. Senator Jarvis' credentials were pre sented to the Senate Monday morning but the Senator is not expected to arrive until Wednesday night. In his sermon Sunday morning from the text " Come let us reason together," the Rev. Dr. Byron Sunderland pastor of the First Presbyterian church here, after alluding to the doctrine of the different denominations, aud showing that in the vital principles of religion Protestants were mostly all aggreed, he spoke of Romanism and its teachings and said there must be a vast change somewhere before Romanism and Protes tantism can ever join hands in the work of evangelization, and unless a change does take place there will sooner or later be one of the greatest religious conflicts in this country the world has ever seen. The Doctor may be right, but let ns trust the conflict will be considerably later. G. M. X. Don't fail to see the new Spring Goods at H. Thomason'8. A magnificent se lection.
