TIZANSHIP. Lewis C 1 lanes is tbe Democrat ap pointed postmaster at Lexington. N. C, vice T. E McCrary. Republican, removed on account of offensive partisanship. All that the Post matter General required was Mtf that UcOarv took an active nert in tnbtkm. When Mr. Hendenon satis - fied him on this point tbe removal was promptly made. The charges were made and filed on Saturday; tbe papers were carried to tbe President on Tuesday evening, and Mr. Hanes was appointed on Wednesday. There ia one other Presidential office in Mr. Henderson's district where the pret master s term has not yet expired, sir. Henderson says tbe incumbent there will be removed as soon as tbe people there aod himself can agree upoo a Democratic successor. That ia the only reason it has not been done before. A Republican postmaster would be certainly a white black-bird if there is a single one in nortn uarouna wno has not been either careless in the discharge of his do ties, active in politics, or for other reasons obnoxious to the people It is not necewssry to attempt a vain thing. Men in office, and entitled to bold office under the Constitution, cannot be removed from office simply because they are either white or black. But this is a Democratic administration and in a very short time every postofflce in the Sute worth having will be filled by Democrat of atraitest sect if the Congress men do their duty and their constituents will aid tbern.

Mr. Clereland. in hk neaaajce to Con- I great in September or October, will re - commend the repeal of the ten per cent tax on the circulation of 8Ute He will also urge the repeal of the fiber- saver lav.' And H Is certain that he h aarioaaljr considering the question of reoommending the revival of the tax on incomes which during the war added so greatly to our revenue and which to I coostitates one of the chief sources of revenue in Gret Britain. There I roinr to be some trouble about making the tolnromixvi -nj nd sweeten reduction I in the tariff unless some other source of I eoilectin revenue is provided. The prop I osition to re-impose the tax on sugar ought not to be considered for a moment I from an, standpoint Its remorsl was 1 th nvnat fTiTA nhWt Unnn for Tariff j Reform used in the campaign. Unedn- ctel people could see the benefit of the tariff r-jdaction when aunr went down I nearly one-half in price. They want a 1 tweeping reduction in other necessaries of life, and would defeat the party that raised the price of sugar. No; re vol u titms and reforms never go backward. A tax on the necessaries of life cannot be es-imposed. We must look for some other source of revenue in order that everjt -eg a poor man needs can be re- Iievsl tariff burdens. It augers well that Mr. Cleveland ia seriously consider- I insr recommending an income tax. ISO 1 anrument worth a cent has ever been made against an income tax, and all it needs in this country to be on tbe statute books is Mr. Cleveland's strong endorse- ment. It is tbe most equitable tax in the world except tax on property because it is imposed only on those who are most able to pay it and on those who receive tbe most benefit from tbe government It is bad enough for Mr. Cleveland to stand the cussing be receives in North Carolina for the things be does not do that our wise men think he ought to do. Bat it is pretty tough to be eompelled to gUnj caasjn, for doing what he never dreamed of doing. On the 15th inst, it was telegraphed from here that Mr. S. W. Cramer, Repub - beau, had been re-aPDOinted assayer of the mint at Charlotte. It wasn't so, as the papers next day stated that Capt W. E. Ardrey, a sterling Democrat, had been appointed to that position.- - Bur: labor- ing (and naturally .so) under the false impression, some of our good North Car- oiiaA follSt without waiting toeee wbeth- f T TT criticised tbe Presi-1 er it was so or not, dent with much severity.

He ought to I I - 11.. :i i L. . L. succeed him, and the charges against I him are filed. I do not think the Presi- dent ought to require Democratk Con-1 greesmen to make charges against Repub-1 bean officials. Tbe fact that they voted for Mr. Harrison ought to be sufficient to I secure their removal.

TJf course it ia too early to aay exactly what shape that legislation will ! take, but the fact that the President and Democratic leaders are in conference I shows that the necessity of a better sys- j tern ts felt and appreciated, and that the wisdom oc tne party wiu secure such re-1 forms as are needed.

' Quite a sensation was created in the President's church on Sunday morning. Rev. Dr. Smith, pastor of the church Mr. Cleveland attends In New York, preached I the sermon, and when he had finished j the venerable Dr. Sunderland created quite a sensation in a few remarks, clos- ing with the words, "I would not stand ia that man's shoes for all the world. After the usual preliminary services, I Dr. Sunderland introduced Mr.8mith,wbo I. - . - I stepped forward to the pulpit to give the I sermon. He is a slender young man I wtth a lMtinnint.iwfrJMM.if waieo reaiiy aoea 001 oetraT on rail 1 rorce of intellect The text which be an I - j nonneed was, "Ye that are strong ought io oear ine lnnrnuiiea 01 ine weat," ana I from that he proceeded to gire an nnnT- snally. practical and thoughtful sermon .Ml .... - i ments . to active effort was the spirit J eontroversy over doctrine now current, to for which ' there was now no place when so many were starving and perishing for 1 the lac of the aid that would otherwise he given them. .' J Then came the sentences whkh proba - j wy aroused the strong feeling of Dr. I Sunderland. -"Of these eountroversies, fruitless of good as they are," the young in murvster said, ."some of us are becoming to very tired- the Church should respond I to thft. cry of the' multitude and go I work, and Ihe extreme men of both aidetl - 1 should be retired to the rear and moder - Into men brought to the. front" The I speaker pleaded for more active work on I the part of every one, and closed with J short, earnest prayer that touched every I one present with its earnestness, its aim I plicity and devootness. . I Closing the Bible Dr. Smith stepped I back to the pulpit chair. Several hun I dred hands reached forward for hymn I books as Dr. Sunderland rose. He spoke 1 111 nia ordinary calm tone at first 44I am I B1re we nave :J1 cwed Mr. Smith's ser- I mon this morning," he said, and every one thought that compliments for the I state the cause of the dissension and I distraction in the Presbyterian Church at this time.- Dr. ounaenand s voice was rising, as he continued: "The reason why the Church has failed to accomplish as much as it ought to, I want here and now to state the cause. , That cause is Dr. Briggs. I would not be in that man's shoes to-day for all the world." This was said with a deliberate inten sity which Dr. Sunderland can command, and its effect was remarkable. ' For sev eral .seconds, until the congregation re covered from its surprise, no one joined in the hymn, and the subsequent pro ceedings were not followed with the usu al reverent attention. After the bene diction many pressed forward to shake hands with tbe minister from New York, and it was evident that he had been somewhat taken aback by the climax to his sermon. No such sensational scene has occurred in the old church since Dr. Sunderland declared, before the "war, that he would define hia posjtion on the slavery ques tion if it should split the church into fragments? No one doubts bis attitude in the Briggs controversy. The members of the church held vari ous opinions as to the wisdom of it, and so did the commissioners of the General Assembly. Some said that Mr. Smith was unwise in alluding to the controversy at that time and place, while others said that Dr. Sunderland would better have held his peace.

Carelessness. 2. Misconduct. ' 8. Offensive partizanship. There has not been any . other rule since Mr. Cleveland waa inaugurated on the" 4th day of March 1885. It is believed by Mr. Cleveland that when a postmaster is appointed for four years, thai appoint- ment is a contract between the individual and the government, and that neither has the nght to break the contract or to terminate the relation without cause. It i nnon thi nrincinl thit Vr. Cleveland I r : I will not remove Presidential postmasters without cause. There has been a new rule promulgated since the 4th of March 1893 in regard to fourth-clam postmasters. The first rule waa that no fourth, class postmaster would be removed except for cause until I after the expiration of four years from I the date of his appointment, and then it would bo done, as a matter of course, and without cause. In a few weeks that rule was changed, and it is now understood that no fourth-class postmaster will be removed," except for tbe usual cause, without regard to tbe time of his service. But thia rule ia not an ironclad one. All that is necessary is a mere statement by the representative that the incumbent is a partizan. Every Republican fourth- class postmaster in Mr. Henderson's dis- trict has already been removed except at . . TbomasviIIe, Albemarle, China wove and . Maiden, and the administration is iMrtilnlt nniiA UimAfnrthfMMitkm'thinriboat her cottn&et or eOTBlor'B. od to thta time of the iitoamhnta i - these place. Thee will be DromotlT moved as soon as the people can convince nr. Henderson w bo the right man L for each plaee. Mr. Henderson tells me that be regrets very much the delay at these I - - places, but it canT be done until the local 1 Democrats and Mr. Henderson can agree. of I Mr. Woodard tells me that in his district j the same thing is true. He has secured I the removal of all fourth-class postmai j tens except at Enfield, La Grange, Fre - I mont and a few other places where the I people are not united as to the appointee, 1 The same is larselv true in the other dis - Itricts. But, while the rule will not affect Ins much if our Ccwiirressmen and people I will be alert, it is a bad rule, and one (that will not be endorsed. It will tool I often protect nambr oambv postmasters to 1 who are neither pig nor pup. ' - - 'v"': .-; "I ,: 1 Mr. Henderson tells me thai he has had no trouble in securing removals either in I Presidential or other postoffices. At a I Lexington the Republican postmaster j was removed because he took an active - 1 interest in politics. All the other places have been settled except Hickory and there the people are divided. The delav - 1 is not due to the department Mr. Hen - j derson has not yet, however, made J change at Concord, but the term of the I incumbent expired Feb. 1 1th, and she is now holding over under Mr. Cleveland's commission, and there is ah original va I cancy there. This is a ease that has at tract ed national prominence and it is I being very carefully handled. At the j proper time, so I am told, the vacancy I will be filled, and doubtless to the satis- faction of the Democrats of Concord and Cabarrus county. THE PBINCXSS INTACTA ICLALIE. The great event in Washington this week is the presence of her royal high ness the Infanta Eulalie, aunt of the King of Spain and representative of the Castalian monarchy. There had been much talk in official or rather in diplo matic circles as to how she should be en tertained. It was first talked that her royal highness would refuse to honor our country with a World's fair visit if she were forced to stop at a hotel, and the sycophants of royalty advocated enter taining her at the White House.. They said it would never do to lose the glory of ner vtgjt ana that Mr. and Mrs. Cleve- of her visit and that Mr. and Mrs. Cleve land ought to get out if need be to give her royal highness the entertainment next approaching royalty. But Mr. Cleveland, "like Bro Babbit never said nuffin', but kept up a powerful sight o' thinkin'."

She came and put up at the Arlington in great state. Such march ing and parading; such clatter and such toad vine; such flowers and rushes; and such receptions and entertainments as the company was given, was hardly ever heard of, and it was proper and fitting that while we are honoring the name of Columbus, we should give tbe most ele gant reception to the legal descendant of of Queen Isabella who made it possible for Columbus to make his great voyage lot discovery, u is saia mac wnen tne m .

JEFFERSON DAVIS. GREAT PREPARATIONS TOR TUB TRANSFER OP HIS REMAINS. Taer will Start Neit Sanaa, rYeai New Orteaa for Rlcas-ewe, aal Step at -Three Places ea lae War The R naias will be Take froai tae Train aaa Lie ia sute at RalelfbTbe Lat ReMla Place. The transfer of the remrios of Jeffer son Davis from their temporary resting place in New Orleans to their spot of permanent sepulture in Richmond will take plaoe next week. The preparations, whkh have been under way for some time, are elaborate. ' The casket will be borne from New Or 1 1611 by a special train of Pullman ears. draped in mourning from the headlight the locomoUve to the signal flags of 1 the last car, and banked with floral of 1 ntigs. On board the train will be Miss Winnie I Davis and a guard of honor, composed of Louisiana veterans. It was intended that Mrs. Davis should also accompany the cortege, but her feeble health will not permit of the journey from New York to New Orleans and back, and she will eon tent bers-lf with meeting the remains in Richmond. The special guard of honor will be supplemented as the train passes through Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South and North Carolina and into Vir- ginia by special escorts, made up of the Governors and distinguished Confederate survivors of tbe respective States, who will accompany the remains, some of them only to the torders of their own States and others on to Richmond. According to the program as-at present" arranged the funeral train will leave New Orleans at 7:80 o'clock on the even ing of May 28. During the night Beau- voir, Miss., the old home of Mr. Davis, will be iassed and a short stop made. ; - The train will P Charlotte about 4:40 a. ni., arrive at Greensboro at 7:15 a. m., and at Raleigh at 10.43 a. m., over the Richmond fc Danville. At, Montgomery, Atlanta and Raleigh the remains will be taken from the train and will lie in state. At 9 o'clock on the evening or the 3(th Kichmond will be reached, and the next day tbe solemn and elaborate re-interment ceremony will take place. when Jefferson Davis died in New Or leans on Dec. 0, 1889, there aroseatonoe a dignified but friendly competition among the cities of the South for the honor of furnishing his last resting place. His widow, to whom tbe question was left, declined to decide at once, and It was only recently that she save her de cision in favor of Richmond. Meantime the remains have rested temporarily In a ' tomb in Metairie Cemetary, in New Or leans. For upwards of a year after the Inter ment a guard of two men was kept at the tomb niht and day, but this vigil has now been withdrawn. The vault Is now so secured that it is impossible to molmt ihe remains without calling the attention of the keepers of the cemetery. ine last resting place oi Mr. navis, in Richmond will be in what is known as the new part of the famed Hollywood Cemetery. In that city of the dead re pose the remains of Gen. J. L. II. Stuart, Gen. Pegram, Gen. John It Cooke, Gen. Wm. 8miih and other Confederate gener- als, and 12,000 other officers and soldiers of the "Lost Cause." Tbe Davis lot Is elliptical in shape and is located on a somewhat precipitous slope on the banks of the James river. The spot is one of the most picturesque in all Hollywood. It is secluded, yet at the same time ac cessible, and its natural beauties are ca pable of being greatly enhanced by arti ficial means. It commands a splendid view of James river, up and down, while immediately beneath it are the falls over which the foaming waters toss with a ceaseless roar. ' The Davis monument will not be over the grave of the ex-President, though some suitable stone will mark bis resting place. The monument it is proposed to erect will be in Monroe Park, which ia in the centre of the most fashionable resi dential section in Richmond. What is to lie the character of this me morial has, of course, not yet been de cided. However, sentiment is ehrystal- izing in favor of a shrine rather than some towering monumental structure. The suggestion has been made that the shrine be a simple Greek temple, with a certain number of columns in front and, following the rule, double and one over ou me iuc. in mw ivuioie it w urgeu, there should be a recumbent figure of A.m w ii. I. a . l ia I Mr. Davis, lighted from the top, and in bas-relief in the architrave, frieze, cor nice and pediment of the temple should be sculptured the principal events in the history of the Confederacy. To tbe Davis lot will be transferred the remains of Mr. Davis' little son, who died in Richmond during tbe war, and is now buried in another section of Holly wood. It is understood that this will be the final resting-place of Mrs. Davis and tbe rest of the Davis family. Tbe location of tbe burial plot was se lected by Mrs. Davis. It is so situated that it catches the first rays of tbe sun in the morning and tbe last rays In tbe evening. , , i i I, i ,i I, in i Notes rroas the Valver-itr. - Special Cor. to K'rrOi CartAlnUtn.
