V. bailey, Superintendent of the .Railway Mail Service m tor the Third Division, com prising Maryland .(excluding the Eastern shore. Virginia, North Carolina, and the District of Co lumbia, had been removed from office, vvnetner tms rumor is cor. reot we wil know Jn a short while. I cBlaine positively states that he will resign nis becretarrsnip m ' January and will retire from poli tics. On the footsteps of this dis closure come the inimitable Charley iFoster, of Ohio, with the informa . tion that Blaine will be nominated for President and elected in 1884, and it is also innocently intimated . that the aforesaid Charley F. might be persuaded to allow his name used in connection with a second place upon such a ticket ' Mr. Frank Hatton, the recently Appointed Assistant Postmaster General, learned the trade of printer in his father's office, that of the Cadiz (Ohio) Republican. At the age of seventeen he entered the army, and before he had attained his twentieth year he had been made a lieutenant- After the war he as sisted his father on the J ournal at Mount Pleasant Iowa, and in 187-4 he purchased a half interest in the Burlifigton Hawkeye of which apef he is how sole proprietor and editor. j Tlie Virginia Election. Jo-day will decide one of the most severe and bitter contests in the political history of Virginia jp rom tno very nrst oi the cam paign the papers have been full o accounts oi aueis, tree lights and the hurling Of the most caustic vituperation. Indeed, the politics . . oi no country or secuon nas ever wiinessed such bitterness, and it is eomowhat to be feared that this . feeling will assert itself in pugilistic ford around the voting places,dur ing tho election. The Colored Fair. "We tako it that the Industrial .Exposition of tho colored people, which closed at Ealeigh last Fri day, should be a source of much pride to every one of that race in this State, and, indeed, no little -gratification to every -true hearted Korth Carolinian regardless of Color. As near as we are aware the colored race of this State have been the first to inaugurate such exhibitions of workmanship and artizanship among that people, and this mere fact should be a lasting rebuke to those .Northern editors tfjio haVe asserted that tho negro was treated with injustice and cruelty by tho white population. f " '""jpbbb. President Arthur New York Herald ' --''.- t The real purpose of all this kind of fly-dirt criticism of Mr. j Arthur is to get the public to believe that he (s not his own man but some one else's. There is no reason to be : lievo" anything ; of this kind no facts to show that Mr. Arthur, call-. ed unexpectedly to j the office of President, is not entirely . capable of administering that ofhee and as determined to do so as any of his pre decessors have been. That be will prefer for his subordinates in the abors of I administration those whom he knows best, and in whom he has the most confidence, is nat ural. It is what every President does. If those whom he appoints are honest and capable that is all the public leares about. If they shall prove the reverse Mr. Arthur will hear from the public. But until he actually commits faults all attempts of ambitious or disap pointed politicians to bring his un- declared purposes into suspicion are improper. 1 . The National Debt. News and Observer. The treasury statement of the public debt, just published, shows that the entire debt of the govern ment of every kind is 2,026,495, 438 sav two billions of dollars. There is" in the treasury $240,960,- 971 in available funds. The interest on the debt is $60,962,245, and it is likely that this interest will be still further reduced during the coming year. The reduction on the princi pal of the debt Jast year was $101,000,000, and is is estimated mat ior tne present year u wiu oe . 1 1 ' I 1 "I HI $125,000,000, as that -will . be the surplus revenues for the year. It is tins situation oi anairs wnicn ... i i ;' Y T 1 renders this an auspicious time to aooiisn tne internal revenue taxa 1 11 I 1 . J tion and do away with the deputy marshals, spies, informers, mspecs tors, collectors, &c., who form a horde of officers, irritating our peo ple and keeping portions of our State in a continual uproar. The expenses of the ffovernment can be very considerably reduced, and the tariff can be made ! larerely more productive by a careful revision So that with these two strings to our Dow no rear need oe ieit tnat m - m -I 1 1 1 i the government would be embar rassed by repealing: tho internal revenue laws. ! The receipts from all sources last year were doo,uuu,uuu ; tne re ceipts from internal revenue were about $125,000,000;, from customs about $200,000,000 ; from miscel laneous sources about 38,000,000 As we had a surplus last year of $100,000,000 and there has been such a considerable reduction of interest since, it is clear thati with out any further curtailment! of ex penses our receipts, independent of the internal revenue,! will suffice to run tne ffovernment. .but it is right and proper that there should oe a lurtner curtailment oi ex penses, and such will be the Demo cratic policy But more than that, the tariff should be revised. It is now pro tective tariff,! and under its exacting clauses and high duties the impor tation of certain foreign articles of prime necessity is jwell nigh pro hibited. The Democratic platform tis a tariff for revenue, and we shall insist that such changes shall be made in the tariff as will alter its character from a protective tariff to a tariff for revenue only. By this means the tariff can be made to yield us much greater income than we now derive from it. Let us take the- j item of rails for raiK roads a1 one. There are in round numbers 100,000 mile3 of railroads in operation in the United States, of which 7,000 were built last year and 7,000 this year. ! The amount of revenue now de rived from importations of iron and steel rails is only $2,300,0.00, be cause the tariff of fourteen; dollars per ton on the iron, land twenty-five per ton on he stael rails is; almost prohibitory. There was less than of iron and steel rails 120,000 tons imported last year.! Under a tariff for revenue only five times as much would be brought in, for the coun try consumes annually about one million tons. Steel rails, ! whose value was $1,643,700, paid a tax of 551,4To,658, cr nearlyi as much as they were worth. Iron rails whose value was !,b35,980, paid a tax of $824,747, or more than half what they were worth. I WINDLEY BROS., Wholesale Liquon Dealers, KEW BERNE, N. C. . ' JNSUJ1AXCE. W. W. WATSON. S. -u..
