The South, indeed the whole country, may ; well contemplate with forebodings - the doiugs at Washington. Senator Edmunds' Te cent professions ol loyalty to the doctrine of State's rights and his so licitude for the maintenfjljteol' these rights by the respective States of the Union, if not intended so, at , least has the ring of sheer clap-trap in the light of immediately subse quent action on the part of, the rul ing element uiiOongress. We rather believe now, knowing his influence as a party ieader.thaX he was coldly hypocritical in what he said on the subject and was simply acting in fturlesque. The whole record of his party is in the direction of over riding all rights ol the Slates and in-, vesting Congress ,with centralizing powers. The latest manifestation of such a purpose on the part of the majority in Congress is found in the McComas bill providing for appor - tionment of representation in the House and the manner of district ing the States, which bill, by a. party vote of 7 to ot has been ap proved by the Committee on Elec tions in the House and recommend ed for adoption. The first provision of the bill requires thai the Con gressional Districts of a State shall have as nearly as practicable an equal number of innabifcants, so that the most populous district in a State shall iiot have more than 15, 000 inhabitants in excess of the population of the' least populous district. The districts are to -be com posed of territory contiguous, ad joining, and as far as practicable - compact. . After each census is ta ken Congress shall apportion to a iitate the number of representatives allowed, consequently the number of districts to be made in each State by its legislature ; but the legislature, after districting the Slate, snail have no power, in" ilsejf or its successor, to alter the districting as made, dur ing the term of ten years, -or until ihe next decennial national ceusus has been taken. Next comes the provision that shows the "mailed feand" more than any other feature, vaz, that requiring that "until the fiext apportionment of representa tives shall b made by Congress, conformably to the eleventh census, there Bhall be no change of bounda ries of any of the Congressional Dis tr.its in any Slate, to alter the same as they existed when Representa tives of the Fifty-First Congress were, elected, and Representatives to the Fifty-Second Congress shall be elect ed from the same districts, compos ed of the same territory, and having th'e same boundaries as those from which Representatives in the Fifty First Congress were elected, any law of any State heretofore or hereafter passed to the contrary notwith standing." I-n other, words, the revo lutionary majority of the present term are afraid to hazard a change of boundaries in the election of members to J.he next, or Fifty-Second term, in the. vain hope to re tain their power. It is understood , that they have their eyes on certain States, particularly Ohio, in -this measure. Since that State was ger rymandered by a Republican legis lature aud the districts formed to suit their party purposes, Ohio has become Democratic, and ;tbey fear the result of re districting the State. .At the other end of the Capitol the situation is no better. Republican members of the Senate Eelections Committee have requested Chair Bjpinan Hoar to prepare a bill to regu late the election of memTjers of Con gress. The supervisors contemplat ed,. who are to watch the polls and count the votes, will make certifica tion thereof to the State board of , can vassera who shall thereupon issue a certificate of election to the suc cessful candidate, to be considered by the Cler of. the Ilouse in umk .K .p the roll "f members timed. Verily does it.seeoj that tle issue ib joined, the 'maited bund" in le"is- liuion beuw Orr one oiititunpnaljrights of tl Mb. J. W; MAUNEY? of Salisbury, is out in an "announcement" in the' Troy Vidette, declaring himself a candidate for Solicitor in the 8th Judicial District. If "the early bird a;ets the worm," Mr. Mauney ought to get the nomination for he cer tainly has begun ui time. The Statesville Landmark, however, thinks that Mr. B. F. Long is en titled to a second term, and its opinion or choice in the matter -will-have considerable -weight in deter mining the nomination. . Sojje seventy-five negroes from North Carolina have been carried to Pennsylvania to work in the coal mines, at a salary of $1.00 to $1.25 per day. Labor heretofore employ ed jn the mi nes consisted -chiefly of Hungarians and other foreigners, and they at once gave notice that if the negroes went to work for less inan the schedule rates there would be trouble. There are now hun dreds of white miners in Pennsyl vania who are out of employment and -whose families live in wretched hovels and are in a starving condi tion. The negroes who have gone there Will certainly fare no better and will soon get sick of their bar gain. "Down in a coal mine" lacks a heap of being in a cotton patch, and there are very lew negroes who will be content with the change. A fellow by the name df Erick son says that on the 14th of April San Francisco, Oakland, Chicago and New York Will be destroyed by an earthquake. Erickson isevidently a crarlkbut some of the people in California are worse fools than he is, for it is stated that many of them are panic-stricken and selling their property for whatever they can get for it end are leaving the country by hundreds. These prophets of evil ought to be severely dealt with and estopped from playing upon the credulity of ignorant and supersti tious people. It is given to no man to know when an earthquake will or will hot occur, and it is tbe blindest folly to give a thought to any such prophete (?) or their evil predic tions. They are invariably cranks seeking cheap notoriety, Lower Richmond Items. Laurinburg Exchange. A movement to get water-works in our town has been started. In a cutting affray about two miles south of here last Saturday night Angus McKinnon stabbed Win. Graham in the left shoulder. Roth are colored and whiskey and a wo man were this eau.se of their trouble. Angus is still at Targe. His was such a kind act that we must make public mention of it. W e refer to the nice suit of clothes presented by Alex. AVall, colored, to a little white boy, because and in appreciation of the lavors done him by the latterls father before hisdeath. This is such a noble and unusual expression ofgratitude,thatit should enshrine Alex's name in the heart of every sympathizer with the un fortunate. Chatham Notts. From the Pittsbora Record. A rumor has reached here that a young man, named Ed. Holland, who. left this county for Georgia, a year or two ago, is now in jail in that State and condemned to be hanged lor shooting a girl. We greatly, regret to hear of the death of Mrs Robert W. Bland, of Baldwin township, which occurred on last-Saturday. She was a daugh ter of the late Fearrington Burnett, and was a lady greatly beloved by all who knew her. It is stated that the iron mine at Ore Hill, in this county, has been sold to the Greensboro Bessemer Steel Company for $260,000 of whicn a mdunt $80,000 was paid in money and '8180,000 in the stock of the company. This would indicate that the mine is considered very valuable, and we sincerely hope that the purchasers will not be His appointed in their expectations- We would much rather have sold than bought at that price. . , , - . A Pedoral Election Law. W AS5NGTOJf, A ptil 5. The Re publican members of the Senate Committoe on Privileges and Elec tion held a conference this morning and discussed the question of report ing to the Senate a national election lawT The eonfereuce was very brief. It was determined to report a bill, at its next meeting arid Mr. Hpar the chairman of the committee, was asked lo-prepare a bill to besubmit ted to a caucus of Republican Sen ators. The Republican members of the committee say that the probability is that the measure will be of a very mild character, as it will be largely experimental. ""that tired feeling" is entirely overcame q??. tiie 'V Hood's Sarsapanlla, which givesafeel ic b.ates on j.jng (,f buoyancy and strength to.the wliole ?IB. Montgomery News. From the Troy Vidette. 0iejf, in this county, at the resi dence of heV sop, March 2nd, 1890, Mrs. Christian Jackson, aged about 76 years. She was a member of tha- Bapti8t ch urch at ' Mit Carmel , and died in the triumph of the Gospel fajth. J. f . We "learn that the new pros pecting shaft, on Mrs. M. A. Smith's property, in Uwharrie," is 'showing up beautifully. A finely developed vein has been exposed in Which free gold can be seen with the naked eye. This new mine, i$ 'is thought, will soon develop into one .of -the richest in the Piedmont gold belt. Mr. G. W. Morris, who Was present, reports that while at the Teste Saun ders mine last Saturday, he saw several pans of the grit from the main shaft and one pan alone was estimated to be worth at least $25, and while he remained he saw at least $150 worth of precious metal taken out and panned. This mine is keeping up its reputatinri, in spite of reports to tbe contrary. - i . A friend informs us that there are thirty-two workmen now busily en . gaged at work in erecting buildings at Candor,-and that the little town J is on a regular oooni. ims snows what a railroad wjll do any point to which it goes must thrive. JStfep, in the country surrounding Candor, we learn ' that land and ail other property" has been enhanced in value to over 500 per cent. r Give the Colored Man a Chance, The blatant partisan demagogues in Congress, says the Philadelphia Times, are perpetually harping about the wrongs of the colored peo ple in the South, but they studious ly avoid the lacts which implicate themselves and their political fol lowers in systematic wrongs against the freedmen. While the House is busy turning out Southern Congressmen on the assumption that the contestants would have been elected if tbe col ored voters bad been allowed to vote, General Longstreet announces in a public letter that the reason he did not vote the Republican ticket and the reason scores of thousands of other Republicans, black and white, did, not vote the ticket, was that the parly in the South is con trolled by reckless traders who, as General Longstreet says, "sell the party to the Democratic party either by failing to put out candi dates, or by making nominations who will sell out to .opposing nomi nees, thus making of their places sources of double revenue." Tbis plain truth from one whose integ rity is undoubted, tells the whole story of tiie Southern .election con tests. .' There are 30,000 colored Union soldiers in Mississippi and Louisi ana, but until within the last year they have been rigorously excluded from the Grand Army Posts of the South by the white soldiers, who are largely Republicans. Grand Commander Alger has forced the re cognition or the colored soldier in the South by recognising colored Grand Army Posts, aud the result is a square spHt in the Grand Army in that section on the color line. Nei ther in the circle of Union soldiers of the South, nor in the circle of corrupt and characterless Republi can leaders of that regjion, is the colored man given a chance to vote of to advance himself ; nd the worst enemies of the colorlPman in the South to-day are the Republi can leaders who sell out and ostra cise the colored men for profit and then come North and howl about the suppression of tiie colored vote. Give the colored man a chance in the South. He never had half the chance and never had half the peace, salety and prosperity he en joyed under the administration of Cleveland, a.nd he will never have peace, safety or prosperity until the dregs of the old carpet-bag thieves who now rule tiie party there, are rendered powerless to ply their vo cation. Give the colored man a chance. In the Spring Months.

Washinotcn, A pril 7. In the House today htr. Morrell, of Kansas, mo?ed to suspend the rules and pass, with a substi tute; the Senate bill granting pensions to soldiers and sailers who are incapacited from the performance of labor and providr ingfor pensions to widows, minor children and dependent parents. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, demanded a second, and the motion was seconded 128 to 57. Mr. Morrell explained that the substi tute provided a service pension of $8 a month to Soldiers 62 years of age, and de pendent. The substitute and bill, he said, it was estimated, would require an annual expenditure of $75,000,000. After a long debate the motion to sus pend the rules was lost, yeas 169 ; nays 87, not the necessary t wo- thirds.
