This event occurred at his residence in Indjaaapo lis during the afternoon of the25lhof November. Mr. Hen- dricks, it wil be recollected by our readers, was on the ticket with Mr. Tilden in 1876 and was then olected to the office now made vacant by his death, bu t deprived of the same by the? pjartis in action of a Congress ional Return tag Board, which, upon a mere pretext, thwarted the will of the people. . In 1884 he was again elected on the tipket with Mr. Cleve- lond, and duly installed into office pn the 4th ojF March last By the failure of Congress to carry put the express powers set forth in he Constitution by which the Pres- : j ;i -a . I r lit ed certain and the will of the people of the several States be secure, it will now devolve upon the Senate, which whole of the 67th Psalm, whereas in having it name a pro u.mptre presid ; t x m - ii x. i- j- -1 thfi Proclamation onlv those mrts is iepuuiiqan, wj cnoose a prestuing officer, who,jin the event bf the death of the President, will become the acting Chief! Executive of the United States. Thus the will of the people, as declared jit the ballot box in 1884, may be debated and the Republi cans again come into, the possession pf all the Executive powers of the country. -We-trust that Congress will, without delay, enact the need ed legislation. Mr. Henqrickg b,ad lorg been in public life. be was a member of the House of JRepresentatiyes from In diana in 1851, and afterwards be- came, commissioner pi the general land office during pierce's Adminis tratiop.- In 1862 he was chosen Senator in Congress and served six years. Subsequently he was elected Governor of his State. In all nosi- tions, whether private qr public, his I. . , , , .

His people, as Joss, will be felt by the is ahyaj's the loss of any I good and great man. But the ways of Pro videce are mysterious. De- spite the calamity which has befall- en us, "til od of nations and meii will supply some one to fill the void crea,ed. He always has done so arid always will 'do so. In His eye tnere m no one, however exalted in talents and worth, to whom He cannot e a successor full v I competent tq miriister to the wants otihe people in ali their extremities. ... - r -In this view, how unutterably small fs human greatness 1 " . Ve sincerely sorrow with those who, by jfamily and sociaj ties, are so severely be'reaypd, and trust they may have that consolation in their hours of sadness which a contempla tion of the character of the dead man will; surely furnish them. - HOT-BED PROSPERITY, . We have- not had the fortune to read the lecture r-eceutb delivered by Sentp,r Vance at Henderson ; It is said, hqwever, tlat hp expresses himself clearly upon the subject of undue stimulus to an increase of tfye JT S.

But there is no any persistency on our part need of to induce them to come amqngst us. It is dojibtful, therefore, whether our Immigration Bureau is, of any ser- yice at aH. .

But we want no hurtful stimulus mi i i g ven vu ati Aw wu chief, Tn this, as in all business matters, our view is to let natural laws work but results. They will do it far bet ter than hot-beds. ' T" SOMEWHAT CONSOUNO. When we wrote our article on "Thanksgiving Day" which appear- ed in our last issue, we had not read the Proclamation of the Governor upon the same matter. Subsequent ly we had the pleasure " of seeing what our most excellent Chief Mag istrate said on the subject v It be came Dlain then that the mind of tne uovernor ana me mma oi uie i ii j mt ii editor of this paper were running m the same channel. We quoted the which'are most apt were used. -We entertain no doubt that Gov. - - .- - t i Scales will feel highly complimented that the Rocket paid him tribute bv resorting to the same source for illustration of its idea to which he recurred. Indeed, we are sure he j will be highly flattered by the coinci dence. At all events, we can assure him that we are happy.taknow that our mind and his show this similar ity of operation. TIIE MATTKB OF SUCCESSION. Section 146, Revised Statutes of the United States, provides that in case of the removal, death, or ina bility - of both the President and Vice-President, the President of the Seriate shall aot as President until the vacancy ceases, or an election is made ; and, if there be no Presi dent, ot tne penate, the Speaker or the House, for the time being, shall act as President When the Senate meets next week & presiding officer of that pody will be elected who, in j the event of President Cleveland's death, would be the acting President of the United States until an election for President cquld be held and the people's choice of a successor made known.

Special Correspondence of the Rocket.- , Washington, ' Nov.; 27, 1885. ., v The Administration is in mourn ing for vice-President Hendricks, Thanksgiving day was sad and quiet one at the White House. There .were no callers, no business was transacted, and decorators were busy outside putting - up the crape and bunting that will shroud the columns of the Executive mansion until the day after Christmas. The Capitol and Government buildings are also., draped in black, the same designs being followed that were us ed in memory of Gen. Grant. Mr. Hendricks' death gives the Presidency of the Senate to the Re publicans, as they are a majority in that body; . It is customary at the closc of a session of ,the Senate for the Vice-President to leave the chair for a time and permit the election of a President of the Senate pro tempore, in order that there might bo a suc cession to the Presidency in case of the death of both the President and the Vice-President Mr. Hendricks attended the sessions of the extra gegsiou so clo8ely last spring,. that no pro tempore officer was elected. Now, if Mr. Cleveland should also die be fore Congress meets, the country would be without a head, and a dif ficult problem might ..be offered for solution. The country is now in the same condition that it was during the first month of Mrl Arthur's presiden- WW V A 1L . O - cy. xie aiso lew me senave wimoui ing ouiuer. - liiBiuuawuu iai,uittiijf gives rise to discussion of proper laws to regulate the Presidential sue cession, and it is probable that the incoming Congress will be urged to make some enactment to meet such contingencies. The last Vice-President who died in office was Mr. Wilson of Massa chusetts. His death was as sudden as that of Mr Hendricks, occurring. it will be remembered while he was presiding over the Senate. VVliAn the death of Mr. HendricLd was announced at the White House, Mr. Cleveland immediately called a special session of the Cabinet Ac- tion was paken in regarcL to tno iu neial, which the President and Cab inet will attend. 1 The Senators and Representatives in the city also . held meetings for Uie purpose of deciding upon com mittees to attend the burial services. The people of Washington obeyed the terms of tiie President's proclar motion; in celebrating 1 hanksgivmg day. Government business was sus pended. Department olerks and school children were set free, there were family reunions, and feasting and pleasuremaking. In the church es, sermons were preached from ap propriate texts. Secretary Whitney offered to give every officer and em ploye of the Navy Department a Thanksgiying turkey. Many pfthem availed themselves of his courtesy. Congress: will convene in one week from next Monday. . There is a bustle of pfeparatiorj at the Capi- toli It is true the work of cleaning up, repairing and making improve- ments has been going on there dur ing the entire recess, Still every thing is getting another touch in readiness for the event The President has nearly finished his message to Congress, an4 the Cabinet officers haye about complete ed their reports. - The maiority of them will be published before, Con gress meets.: HSnly that qf the Secre tary of the Treasury will qe with held to go to Congress with the Presi dent's message. v As to points in the message it may be mentioned tht the policy of the Administration will be very clear and direct in adyocating increased economy in Governmental expend! tures and cutting down; tarifi; tfixa; 1 tionln such a way as will not hurt industries which have been built up under, existing laws. The policy outlined to Congress will - be con servative. . . . . Ono of the newly appointed Civil j Service Commissioners, says that any expectations that the reorean- ized Commission ; will be governed i by partisan considerations will be 1 doomed toJ disappointment.- He further said in all his consultation with the President, he was impress ed with the sincere purpose Mr. Cleveland shpwed'to enforce the law strictly and impartially. , The roa jority pf the Senators of both parties 1 r -j rn: o form.

Henderson Gold Leaf. -. : ; Immigration is " de sirable only when it comes iii such volume as can readily be absorbed and Americanized, incorporated in to our society and infused with our I ideas aad feelings ; not when it comes in such power as to preserve its own European customs, ideas and traditions, when it simply transfers a segment otforeign kingdom to our soil I am just about satisfied on the whole with the progress North Carolina is making. It is slow, but is natural and stable. If the wagon moves up the hill but slowly, it rolls back none. An abnormally rapid growth is rarely a healthy growth, in plants, animals, or that conglom-1 .ration of animals called a commu nity. In the forests of my native home I found a prostrate giant ohest- uui. tree, wwiwu icvn iii uum-1 eter. isoth ,axe ana saw were re quired to sever its huge trunk. The rings Which ' marked its ; annual growth indicated that it had -been nearly a thousand years in growing to its enormous bulk, about the eighth of an inch per annum slow but sure. That is my idea of the growth of a State if it is to live and be come renowned for the lasting hap piness and prosperity of its people. Another result of our homogene ous society is our conservatism,' In our dispositions and temper, habits ana language are 10 ue iouaa more evidence of conservatism than among any people I know on this Conti nent ; in politics, m religion and in morals. Innovations of any and all kinds take little hold in our soil. There are no new. sects, ism or ofo- gia in our religion ; no communism or exotic factions in our politics ; no patriot philanthrophy or senti mental humbug in our morals; no chartered scoundrslism or joint stock villainies in pur financial life, r In this respect we are contented to be behind some States and get along the best vrc ctin "with the old Ten Commandments They say a word to the wise is sufficient But we think it takes about five, JUso Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup.'
