EietSer From Clevclriiidi. Clsyeland Mills. March 4th, Editor Morganton Star : UI seat myself to drop you a few lines to let you know that we are all well, ('cept colds) hoping these few lines ' will come safely to hand and find you enjoying the same blessing," ('cept the colds.) If I had a dime for every time the above quotation has been used in episto lary correspondence I would be a millionaire, and not the impecu nious ex-rebel that I am. But the quotations is not the sort of com position that brings iu the dimes, so no one is oenentea ov its lre- queut use ; and this leads me to reflect how the absence of a thing effects ones whole life. This re minds me also of a little incident. A short time ago, I was at a coun try post ofiice when the mail ar rived.. The bags were emptied on the floor. The P. M. was busy at his desk, and the assistant was distributing the mail. I offered q assist the clerk, but-the Chief said, tfrNo, you had better not, for you are not familiar with mail matters, and you would likely make mis takes." What ! I retorted, I not familiar gwith mail matters ! Do you not know, sir, that only one thing prevented me from being Post Master Geneal ! "Why no, is that so, and what was the "one thing" to which you refer I Oh, nothing much, a very little thing) I assure you, sir, a little absen t- mindness on the part of the Presi dent he forgot to nominate me.' Business in matrimonial circles 0 has been quite brisk of late. I have officiated at the marriage of four couples since I came to Cleve land. I mention this fact only to mm-.. . 1 " call attention to several coinci dences connected therewith. The first two grooms had the same Christain name, and namesakes of mine, by the way, which, when finally interpreted, may be quoted as a good "oman." All four were of Methodist antecedents but none of them members of any church The "fees" were disproportionate taking' financial ability as a basis This last does not strickly belong to the catagory of coincidences but is none.the less suggestive on acttoun t. Three of the bride's were daughters' 'of widow "ladies allfourof tbem were members of the Baptist church. So much for tlie coincidences. Your Pa. cor- respondent mentions - my name in - ue same sentence witu Kev. i. JN. Payne, and refers to camp life to gether. I was not in the same command with Mr. Payne during the war, but I teas with him in a little scrimmage just after the r. we were stuaents at Kuther- ford College, and took a stroll to gether one beautiful moonlight night. Suddently -two negroes emerged from the bushes and level ed their guns at us and demanded our money. I was fleet of foot in those days but some how friend Payne beat me in that race. He has long since forgiven me for the part I took in that little episode. Even now it comes a shudder when I think how-near old Burke came losing a good Supt. of Education. 1 am curious to know who your Pa. correspondent is; if he is the yankee I captured the night of the 16th of June 1SG4, in front of! Petersburg and conducted to a place of safety in our. lines, he has my permission to remember mo in his will as other greateful Yankees have done for similar kindness shone them. It is more probable, however, that he is an ex-rebel like myself, who, with malice pre pense, has crossed the "dead line," intent on capturing somerich Duch girl by way of reprisal. He in quires as to my geographical where abouts. As I am not tecnically . a fugitive from justice, I have no hesitancy in gratifying your cor respondent. I am located at this writing on the South bank of Little Broad river, on the Lincoln and llutherford road, Cleveland Mills P. O. If your Pa." correspondent should pass this way on his return trip he is welcome to stop at my "ranche." We try to practice the Apostolic injuuetiou, "Be not for getful to entertain strangers." We can provide "lodging also for the camels and apes." Your correspondent perhaps would like to know something ol my p r.on il history since the war. "A short horse is soon curried." About the year 1835, 1 suddently abandon ed the idea of thrashing the yan kee army and establishing a South ern Cranberry. I returned home, took iu a strong decoction of poke. root and red pepper as apani cea for "camp itch;" (My experi ence as to the curative virtues of this wonderful medicine, for ob vious reasons, must remain an un written chapter m my personal history.), then I took a "skip aud hop" course (The above remedy uggested this sort of course.) at llutherford College; since then J have been keeping up a sort of guerilla warfare upon the "World, the Flesh and the Devil." My mind is made up to fight it out an this line. Aud here the chapter ends. P. S. Perhaps some ot my friends will saj", "he is not dignifi ed." I think so too, sometimes, but I protest against anyone say ing so unless he can define the term, "dignified," without referiug to his dictionary. I choose this as the most effectual way of disposing of my immaglnary critics. - I believe in the old adage, "Laugh and grow fat." It hasnot had much effect upou my leaiiess, but I have a susnission "that I didn't laugh i right a poor .grin, won't do. If my friends will condone the whim, I think I'll indulge a big ha, ha, and try that. Evans, Ky., Mai-ch 14, 18S6. Editor Morgantoti Star I desire giviug the young men and readers of the Staxj a short description of this part of the State of Kentucky. I have traveled over the above named couuty and have not met a le.Nortli Carolinian. Idon'tfey. When last heard from she' siuj ; know why it is, as this country i as good as farther West. The mountains are high and rough. But tiie valleys are large, smoothe and fertile and adapted to agricul tural persuits. The mountains are filled with coal, which gives em ployment to hundreds of hands .at 31.50 to $3.00 per day. Also there are lumbering companies which give employment to at least 1500 hands in this couuty, at 81.50 to $2.00 per day. The Cumberlin River flows from East to West through this couuty, by the cite of the county where the lumber companies have their mills, on which river logs are brought from 75 to 100 miles to said mills ; all of which enterprise-, with various others,bring money in the country. I hope .young men, on their way West, will give "Kantnck" a chance. Your friend, S. T. Hectoe. 3ocr Forbearance eeaie to be; a. Virtue? Charlotto DemocmL The readers of tho Charlotte Dem ocrat kuow that we have stood up for and defended Railroads in many in stances whero we thought they were unjustly censured ; theretore we can not truthfully be counted an enemy to our systems of Railroads. But u reliable gentleman of this city, told us the other day that he shipped 1.000 Brick fioui here to liuntersvdle, on the Charlotte & Statesville Railroad, and that the fieiuht charged on the Brick for a distance of 12 or 15 miles was six dollars for one thousand, while the piice of the Brick was only $6 or $7 per thousand. Now, ws respectfully ask, why should sucn an exturlioiia:e freight chorgt be submitted to by the people of a county who voted $100,000 t the Statesville Railroad, and $200, 000 te the Charlotte. & Atlanta lUil road, and 60,000 to tho Carolina Central Rciiroul, besides private subscriptiouri? Should we submit , as a people, to such charges against our business interests, and quietly lie down and die as a mercantile com munity t Therefore, we again ask, "where does forbearance cease to bs a virtue" or when shall we demand a "Rail road Commission" to do us justice? Tho discriminations against Char lotte in favor of ichmund, on the Western N. O, Railroad, are such as to Charlotte or Metklcuhurg tax payers ought to submit to much lon ger. Wo hope our people will read the abovo carefully, as it shows the great disadvantage that a community la burs under when they do not have the advantages of a competing line of railroad. The people of Burke arc feeling the effects of this monopo ly, and a good majority of our voturs are deter mitred to remedy this evil by voting an appropriation to tn e uragu the buiidiug of a competing line of road through our county. The Supreme Court is tlie de fender of the right of tho people agaiust illegal taxation even when enjoined oy the legislature, iucrc . . . . . ... m is a disposition on the part of most " General Assemblies to .pcud the public money too generously. Po liticians are great economists in the canvass before the voters, but when they get to Raleigh their ; economical resolutions often give way to the pressure.of an influence that is never absent from the Capi tol during the session of the Gen eral Assembly- Education is a good thing, but the people cannot afford to be over taxed even for that. And however worthy may be the object iu view, the constitu tional limitations ought to be strictly observediu every case both by Legislatures and by County Commisiouers. Hickory lrcsi. Newton Enterprise:. The wife of Cicero Harmon, who lives near Blowing Rock, left him several j weeks ago.

A correspondent of the Charlotto Observer writes in reference to the Federal Fee Bill : On" the day of its introduction it was not possible to give full details of the very elaborate bill reported for the Committee on the Expendi tures of the Department of Justice on the subject of Marshals, District Attorneys and Clerks'' fees. This measure provides that marshals ind district attorneys shall receive salaries, instead of fees and be tllowed their actual expenses for transportation going to and re turning from court. They are re quired to render itemized accounts ventied. Assistants and clerks are also allowed such amounts for actu al transnorta lions. Tho district attorneys for Western IJorth Caro lina and South Carolina receive under this bill $1,000 salary. The district attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina is paid 83.000 with .many ethers. The Western orth Carolina marshal's salary is $3,000. Tho South Caro lina marshal's is the same; the Eastern North Carolina marshal's 3.000. The fees collected by of marshals and district attorneys are to be paid into court and all ex penses taxed against other parties than tho United States. There are various other requirements in this connection. The. marshal is allowed one. clerk and one chief deputy, if deemed necessary by tho attorney general. In the districts with which we are concerned, tho salary for these officials shall not exceed $1,500 iu any case. Where courts are held at more than one place the attorney general may allow either a clerk or a chief dep uty, but not both at such place, if A. 1- 1 " .
