Pete Stephens, of Caswell couiity, ft r a" long series of years has been identified with Danville's tobacco in terest, is one of the auctioneers, and 1 might add, i better ote has never yet bueiv fouudj to give chin music over a pfle of tobacco, always at his pa-st, to give his old fritnds and new cues too, a regular North Carolina welcome, and top prices for their to ;'..'. baeco.

H ilmihgton Star. v WASHINGTON LETTER From our KogularCorieapondentr Wasiuxgtom, D. C. Feb. 17,-1SS8 Our lawmakers on Capitol liiU have iitttM-polated their work this week wish an. immenKU . amount .of gossip and idleness. There has been some legislation of a locri! char tcter, for the District of Columbia must have eome attention once in a while, and thero li;'iv;ebecn some interesting pecclies 'made on sthe Blarr -Ed uca tional bill, but beyond that Con giessional proceedings are not wor.hv of meution. Mr. lU.iin's nonccandidaey; was talked over for a whole day in t lie cloak rooms and corridors of the Capitol, and was a matter of intense interest in the Senate wing where there are quito a number of aspi rants for Presidintial honors. One reason alleged for the Presi dent's proposed trip to the Und of Howers next week is that the Na tional Democratic 'Committea meetF here on the 22nd, and eome of his friend have represented to him that it might bo better for him to be out f the city at the time, if ho conven iently Cuuld. They do tmt want 1; to appear that the- President is in any way effecting the deliberations of the Committee. The trip will cot consume more than a week. It will be made by special train, without any more stops than are m.cessary, and one day will be spent at Jackson villa and one at St. Augustine. The Blair Educational bill is near ing a vote in the Senate but has not yet reached it. Before you lect-iyf this lettT you will probably know its fate. Senator Hawley, of Connecti cut, placed himself on record as op posed to the measure, ono day this week. He characterized it aa a Liii to promote mendicancy, and to cul tivate beggars. He said it declared the failure of local self government iu one of the si' promo. interests of Un people. It also falsely declared the bankruptcy of States, which, before our eyes, ara rich and growing. It made an ineffectual, if not false, pre tence of temporary action. 113 said it was noi for eight years. It was the begining of a new policy of a permanent uew relation between the Federal Government and the States, which would never diminish, but whose influence would grow. Senator Hawley wished thai every Senator would vote upon tbis .bill just ex actly as h.9 felt about it, and 1 ot as bsing bound bt resolutions of State Legislatures, or previous committals, or auy thing of that sort. Ho was willing to see the bill defeated by any of the Constitutional moans, whether by the Ilouse, by the Sen ate or by the President. But the Senate will not go down to history as the slayer of the famous measure. While I was writing the above the Senate passed the bijl by a vote of 39 to" 29. Tbis is the fullest vote that has ever been had on the Blair bill. It will be seen by a com parison of this vote with that of two years ago that the lilair bill has made no converts. Senators who voted against it before voted aganiEt it again this time Several Seuaiors including Blackburn, Kenna, Spooner and Voorhees who voted for the bilLtwo year-s ago vottd against it this time. In 18S4 the vote was 33 to 11, 32 Senators refusing to vote, and in 1880 only two more voted. On this occa sion only four Senators abstained from voting, which shows that oppo sition to the bill has almost trebbled m the past two yearn. ' This increas ed opposition was a matter of con tiderable interest. The prediction by many now is that after having, consumed much of the valuable time of tbree Congresses, the bill will now go to the House again for dofeat, or ia case it should happen to 'struggle through that body alive, tbat it will be vetoed by the Tresidont. Scarcely had tho stir over , the Blain letter subsided at the Capitol when another interesting bit of po litical gessip came floating along. It was merely a, rumor, but it gained rapid circulation. : JJrificy, it wa3 to the effect that Mr. Cleveland would write a letter similar to tlvit given - 01 &ft j Miv ' Blalue,Kan 'decline 5 to Democratic nominating, Convention, if. the Democratic 4mjorLty in s Con failed to redeem tbe. pledges, which the party had mad to the- country with' regard to tariff legislation.
