There is a great deal of very deliber ate and freezing presumption in the New York politician of any school or party. The assumptions are sublime, and the ignorance' and stupidity of equal proportions. We have before ii a long dispatch sent from New York to the Washington News, an Administration goldbug organ. We dve but a part of this sweet morsel for the million: New York, Aug. ",. William Col lins Whitney is a candidate for the Presidency. ' He v. ill go to the next Democratic Xatiu; a!

Root, the noted compo ser, died at Barley's Island, Maine. His death was unexpected. The news of Dr. Root's death came to Chicago relatives by wire on 7th. It was known that the composer had been ill, but no one believed him to be in danger. Mrs. Root and a daughter were with him when he died. Prominent among Dr. Root's musi cal works were the cantatas of 'Dan iel,' "The Pilgrim Fathers,- "The Flower Queen" and "The Hayma kers," and the songs, "Hazel Dell," "Rosalie, The Prarie Flower" and "The Shining Shore." In 1858 he became a partner in the house of Root &; Cady, Chicago, and when the war came on wrote the war songs by which he is best known. "The Battle Cry of Freedom," "Yes, We'll Rally 'Round the Flag, Boys," "Just Be fore the Battle, Mother," "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp" and "The Vacant Chair." Dr. Root was at the time of his death preparing to celebrate his golden wedding, which would have occurred August 27. The Editor of the Morganton Her ald and the Editor of the Press and Carolinian made a personal call to gether in Marion last Tuesday upon the Editor of tha Record. But ho was "out" "not in," He had taken ex ceptions to what the Press & Caro linian had said about the sweet and lovely young ladies of Morganton; declaring that we had not been as far west as Marion, and therefore had not in our innocent simplicity, seen the handsome and lovely young ladies of Marion. Upon the issue in this line between Marion and Morganton, the Herald in copying, (which we repro duce) cast the onus proband i upon us, as it were. Hence what Aye have to say about it is this; since the Editor of the Marion Record did not stand up to the rack and eat fodder, although it was court wreek in his town, is that while the lovely and handsome ladies of Marion are all that he claims for them, (and we can and will at some future time say more of them) we do not understand why they wear such large sleeves over their shoulders and goods for no purpose. The young la dies of other towns, who ride bicycles, are curtailing their crinoline attach ment instead of increasing the expense in waste of goods. However, so mote it be. A Good Business College. The Southern Business College at Asheville, ZS'. C the Mountain City, is one of the well established schools of which our State can vell be proud. There is now no more need for our voung men to go to other States for a Business education than for a Univer sitv or a College education. It is fast becoming the Poughkeepsie of the New South; has already had students from 15 states and its graduates are tilling responsible positions. St. Paul's Seminary, in Hickory, of the Ohio Lutheran Synod, has just had printed by the Hickory Printing Co., a very handsome catalogue of their noble college. It has a beautiful frontespieceof the college and the res idence near it of the President of the Faculty in charge, Rev. H. K. G. Doerman. The members of the organization are as follows: Board of Directors Rev. E. L. S. Tressel, President, Baltimore, Md.; Rev. II. K. G. Doermann, Secretary, Hickory, C: Mr. L. C. Huffman, Treasurer, Hickory, C; Mr. G. A. Dobler, Baltimore, Md.; Rev. G. L. Hunt, Newton, IS". C: Rev. J. H. Rex rode, Claremout, X. C Faculty Rev H. K. G. Doermann, President, Professor of til' Seminary Department; Rev. F. H . Patzer, Professor of the Proeminarv Department; Mr. S. M. Ham rick, Professor of the Academic Department. Since 167$ there have been nine epidemics of dysentery in different parts of the country in which Cham berlains Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Reined v was used with perfect success.

Wes ton has succeeded to the position on the Vanderbilt estate held by the late Baron E. d'Allenges, and is now at the head of farming operations. "Virgie Turbyflll and Mamie Mc Lean" announce over their own names that they have taken charge of the Lincoln Courier "until some one with more ability can be secured to manage it." ' Governor Carr has called an extra term of court for Cleveland county. It will convene on the 2Gth of August and is called for the trial of both civil and criminal actions. Raleigh News and Observer. Judge Simonton is in Asheville hearing the suit of the Southern Rail way company against the city of Ashe ville, in which the former seeks to en join the collection of the city's special tax levied upon the company. The Asheville Citizen says: G. C. Bonniwell, a Hickory lumber mill man, is at Hotel Berkeley. He is not exactly a lumber mill man, but represents some of the finest work from lumber you ever saw or "seed" The Wilmington Messenger of Sun day gives an acconut of the drowning of Mr. R. E. Evans manager of the Armour Packing Co., at that place, at Ocean View beach on Saturday after noon, and the rescue of S. M. Bobbitt of Wilson after it was thought he was drowned. The health of the children of the Barium Springs Orphans' Home is re markable. Our Fatherless Ones, the orphanage paper, says they have had but one visit from a physician in a year and that the infirmary, which was jcompleted more than a year ago, has yet to receive its first patient. Salis bury Herald. The contract for erecting the factory and buildings of the Kestler Manu facturing Company was yesterday awarded to Mr. D. K. Decil Work will begin at once, and the factory will be completed and running by the first of next April. Mr. N. E. McCanless will leave in a few days for the north to purchase machinery. Salisbury Her ald. The State Register, of Asheville, says the following and then quotes a recent editorial from this paper: "The Hickory Press and Carolinian, whose editor is a Georgian to the man or born, and who knows a great deal about the men and measures and peo ple of that state, and withal has the courage of his convictions, uses this vigeous language about Cleveland's Secretary of the Interior". The Biltmore estate's forestry de partment is preparing to iloat about 10,0Q0 cords of firewood down the French Broad river, with a view to having it sawed and split up by ma chinery into suitable lengths for the stoves and fireplaces of Asheville. It is calculated that this amount of fire wood will be sufficient to supply the wants of the town for more than 12 niont lis. Asheville Citizen. Great Scott ! Boys don't any of you go down to Salisbury and take any of their medicine. They have got it in the air. Here is what the Herald says about it. "The weather is somewhat sudorific today, but just let your mind run out ahead and see how you will wish for this stjle of weather next De cember and January, when the mer cury will be low down and coal high up." But if you have the right coal that will also produee somethicg like a sudorific sweat.

Hereafter all warrants for direct taxes refunded will be raid out of the gen eral fund, but applications are to be sent to the executive office, as hereto fore, and the Governor must approve them. Raleigh News and Observer. The Charlotte News Guess a to "The Cltl iens" Choice. The Asheville Citizen copies the following from the Charlotte News, with much gleefulness. No doubt be cause it gives brother Davidson a good chuckle under the chin. "The Marion Record wants Judge Armfield nominated for Governor. The Durham Sun wants Julian S. Carr. The Oxford Ledger favors Lt. Gov. Doughton. The Asheville Citi zen wants a "Mountain man," name not given, but presumed to be CoL Theo. F. Davidson. Dr. Faison tells the Charlotte Observer that the East is for Jarvis, and says "he's the only Dem ocrat that can carry the State." Over man has lots of friends. The States ville Landmark prints the following: "WelL Governor. Who's going to be our next Governor?" asked Mr. Geo. M. Rose, of Fayetteville, of Senator Jarvis Wednesday night at the Ben bow house, in Greensboro. "I can't prophesy," said he. 4I hear Tom Ma son, Jule Carr, Lee Overman, Bob Glenn and Theo. Davidson spoken of. We ought to nominate the strongest man we have for Governor in Mav, and start him to work early." TNE NEW TAR-HEEL WOMAN. We find the following notice which refers to our new Local Editor, in the Raleigh News and Observer of the 9th inst: "The women are coming to the front in North Carolina, Last week it was noted that two young women had tak en charge of the Lincoln Courier, and this week it is announced that Mrs. Carrie Holden Gamble has become lo cal editor of the Hickory Press and Carolinian. The women have quit talking about their rights to a wider field of usefulness, and have gone to asserting it by entering journalism. The new women are warmly welcomed to the ranks." Henry Whltener. Bethel congregation of the Hickory charge has been called upon to part with one of its oldest members, Henry H. Whiten er. Father Whitener was taken sick rather suddenly on the 1st of August, while in the field at work. From the beginning he was very bad, and his friends entertained but little hopes of his recovery. But he rallied on the 9th; however he grew worse and the end came at sunrise, Sunday the 11th. He was born November the 7th, and was 72 years, nine months and four days old. He leaves a wife, five children and three grand-children. Father Whitener wa a noble man. He was quiet and unassuming, a noble citizen, a good and obliging neighbor, and a devoted Christian. His funeral services were held from Bethel church on Monday August 12, and was at tended by a large number of relatives and friends.

NO GOOD FOR 5EA VESSELS. Aluminum Crumbles When Submitted to the Action of Salt Water. Washington, Aug. 9. Naval Offi cers who have recently examined specimens of aluminum, which have been submitted to tests in salt water, say that the metal will not be avail able for use in the construction of na val vessels, because after being in salt water for a time it crumbles to pieces. This prevents us from making a million or more on aluminum on this score. Ed. P. C. Ex-Speaker Crisp Talks. London, August 9. Ex-Speaker Chas. F. Crisp, who is now in London, was interviewed today by a represen tative of the Associated Press in regard to the chances of a monetary confer ence being called. He said: 'I could not discover in my travels in England that any interest in bi metallism was taken among the peo ple. They do not discuss it and do not seem to be educated up to it. Mr. McNeill, secretary of the Bi-metallist League, informs me that the member ship of the league is rapidly increas ing; but what they consider rapid in England would be very slow in the United States. 'I have been invited to meet some of the leading bi-metallists and per haps they will show me that the cause is developing more than I have reason to think it has." Mr. Crisp was asked if there was any likelihood that he would be the successor in the supreme court of the late Justice Howell E. Jackson, but the speaker refused to discuss the question. The United States Ambassador, lion. mos. t. isayaru, lias visited Mr. Crisp at the Victoria hotel, where he is stopping, and he has also been dined bv Mr. Richard Croker. The Wilson Advance, which by the way, has changed its form from a four to an eight page paper, makes the fol lowing statement in its editorial col umns: The developments in the Beau fort insurance frauds show that some IeopIe are willing to go to any length to get money. In a recent conversa tion vith a gentleman frour Beaufort he stated that in one instance it was currently believed that a man had murdered his wife in order to ecure the insurance on her life.
