President Arthur sent in his annual message to Congress on the 4th of December. It is a lengthy document. Oar foreign relations are discassed and pronounced satis factory. The creation of a com mission to consider the general question of our rights in the fish eries and the means of opening the fishery waters and sealing grounds of British North America, is suggested. The alarming state of illiteracy in certain por. tions of the country is alluded, and the question of extend ing federal aid to public primary education again submitted to Con gress, xne Mormons receive a passing notice and the President is convinced that polygamy has be come so strongly -intrenched in the territory of Utah that it is useless to attack it with any bat the stout est weapons which constitutional legislation can fashion Id regard to excessive revenue, the most important question to the people at this time, the President says: If the revenue for the fiscal year which will end on June 30, 1885, be estimated upon the basis of exist ing laws the secretary is of the opinion that for that year the re ceipts will exceed by 960,000.000 the ordinary expenditures, includ ing the amount - devoted to the sinking fund. Hitherto the surplus as rapidly as it -' has accumulated has been devoted to the redaction of the national debt." As a result the only bonds now outstanding which are redeemable at the pleas ure of the government, are the 3 per cents, amounting to abont t305.000.000. The 4A per cents. amounting to $250,O0O,0OO, and the $737,000,000 4 per cents are not payable until 1891 and 1907 respec tively. If the surplus shall here after be as large as the treasury estimates now indicate the 3 per cent bonds may all bo redeemed at least four years before any of the 4 per cents can be called in. The latter at the same rate of accumu lation of the surplus can be paid at maturity and the moneys requisite for the redemption of the 4 per cents will be in the treasury many years before these obligations be come payable. There are cogent reasons, however, why the national indebtedness should not be thus rapidly extinguished. Chief among them is the fact that only by ex cessive taxation is such rapidity attainable. In a communication to the Congress at its last session I recommended that all exeise taxes be abolished, except those relating to distilled spirits, and that sub- stantial reductions be also made in the revenues from customs. A statute has since been enacted by which the annual tax and tariff re ceipts of the government have been eat down to the extent of at least $50,000,000 or $60,000,000. While nave no. nouot that arm lurtner redactions may be wisely made, I do not advise the adoptiou at this session of any measures for a large diminution of the national revenues. The resnlte of the legislation of the last session of the Con grass have not as yec become sufficiently appa rent to jnstify any radical revision or sweeping modifications ot tne existing law. In the interval which must elapse before the effects of the act of March 3, 1883, can be definitely ascertained, a portion at least of the surplus revenues may be wisely applied to the long ne glected duty of rehabilitating our navy and providing coast defenses for the protection of our harbors. This is a matter to which I shall again advert. The Message closes with the fol lowing reference to the defunct eivil rights bill: The fourteenth amendment of the constitution confers the right of citizenship upon all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction hereof. It was the special purpose of this amendment to insure to the members of the colored race the full enjoyment of civil and political rights. Certain statutory provis ions, intended to secure the en forcement of those rights, have been recently declared unconstitu tional by the Supreme Court. Any legislation whereby Congress may lawfully supplement the guarantees which the constitution affords for the equal enjoyment by all the citi zens of the United States of every right, privilege and immunity of citizenship, will receive my unhesi tating approval. Railroad Sews. For some days Col. A. B. Andrews has been with Mr. Scott and Mr. Oakam, of New York, the latter being one of the principal owners of the stock of the Richmond & Danville railroad, and who are making an inspection of all their lines of road. Yesterday the party arrived here in a special car, drawn by a special engine. Col. T. M. Holt, president of the N. C. R. R., was with them. He was coming here on the regular train, but the special stopped specially for him. On arrival here Messrs. Scott, Oakman and Andrews called on Gov. JarvU at his office and afterwards were driven over the city for an hour or two. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon they left for Ooldsboro on their special train, and will make a thorough examination of the road. Mr. Scott is said to own a majority of the stock in the R. Si D- R R. The exact purpose of their long and thorough inspection of the road, roail bed and rolling-stock is not known. It is rumored, however, that yet another change is to be made in the ownership of the stoc-k, though whether there is a good basis for this we cannot sar. The Iarty of inspectors are at home in their car, which is elegantly fittel up. News Observer.

CARLISLE'S ELECTION. TVb.t the Paper Say. In Mr. Carlisle the Democrats have an honorable, frank, manly, consistent Speaker. There will be no hedging and dodging under his leadership. Democrats will not be handicapped by a do nothing pol icy. A practical ana dennite policy founded on sonnd principles will be adopted. The Democrats will be able to go before the country with the same declaration of principle that they presented in 1876 aud in 1880. They will be able to claim without self-stultification and dis grace that they are for a govern ment of the people, and for the peo pie and by the people. Carlisle and Victory that is the meaning of the nomination of Sat urdav night. TFtJ. Star. The caucus has done bravely and well. They have listened to no timid counsels, but have chosen man who is the exponent of straightout, . unfaltering Democ racy. On this line we march to victory, certain victory in the end for come what may, at the last the truth will prevail. Columbia (S. (J.) Jiegister, item. It is unnecessary now to speak of the causes. which brought about the result of last Saturday night's con ference, or- the disappointment which man; Democrats all over the country will feel at Mr. Ban dall's defeat. These matters have their compensation in the facts that the nominee is a - man of unusual ability, large experience and strict purity of personal and political -character, and that his record as a southern man of union sentiments during the war will effectually de prive the Stalwart element of any sectional advantage,-which, under other conditions, might be manu factured from the nomination of a Southern man. Peteriburg Index Appeal, Randall Paper. The issue on which he has been elected is familiar to our readers In the last Congress when the tariff question was before the country he made an exhaustive speech on the proposed measure which elicited the highest encomiums and won for him the cordial endorsement of all who favored tariff reduction with out unnecessarily destroying the business of the country. That speech is the platform on which he stands to-day, and his election as Speaker indicates that the Demo cratic House will undertake to pass wise tariff bill which will receive the approbation of the American people. -Raleigh News-Observer. The nomination of Mr. Carlisle is fortunate for the Democratic party it is an authoritative announce ment that the party is in favor of advancing in the work of reforming the tariff. There will now be a well defined issue with the Republican party. It will be an issue which, if properly presented and earnestly urged, will win the working and middle classes to the Democratic standard. Mr. Carlisle will make a good Speaker. He is a man of great ability and liberal views. Savannah Aews, Dem. The nomination of Mr. Carlisle shows that there is more life in the Democratic party than had been generally supposed, and of a health ier sort, which is a matter lor con gratulation all around. Mr. Car lisle is by far the best representa tive among the candidates for the nomination of those Democrats who have convictions and conscience, and it is a good thing for the coun try that they are found to be in the majority and a considerable ma jority at Washington. Mr. Car lisle nas a dennite and intelligent policy, which he has plainly set forth and lived np to with unusual fidelity. His opponents were what the late M. Gambetta described as "the column organized for an as sault upon the offices. The Domination of Mr. Carlisle, in it self, shows a public opinion through out wide sections of the country strong enough to overcome com pletely the tactics of the mere poli ticians and to defy the influences exerted by the most bigHy pro tected industries. That opinion is not by any means confined to the Democrats. It is national. N. Y. Times, Rep, Tariff Reform. "There never was a more hotly- contested fight which ended so satisfactorily for principle as against demagoguism, which ended so dis astrously for the defeated. The re sult showed, what has already been indicated in these dispatches, that the Randall campaign was bluff, and that its chance of terminating successfully rested upon bull dozing and terrorizing the timid by the sectional cry, and the threats of the protection monopolies. The Car lisle people are jubilant to-night. The principles of Democracy are vindicated, and class legislation, sustained by packed committees through two Democratic Congresses, must take a back seat for the next two years. Washington Corre spondent o f the Charleston Kcics and Courier, Dem. At last there is a promise of a Democratic party. Mr. Carlisle was last night chosen Speaker by the Democratic caucus at Wash ington. That means a change, a very great and beneficent change, in Democratic policies. It means that the old fogies of the party, the men afraid of their principles, have lost their hold, and the young men of the party the men to whom politics mean something more than mere office getting have come to the front. If the Democratic party have energy and intelligence the caucus action of last evening means a sweeping Democratic victory next vear. New York Herald, Ind., Tariff Reform, Hon. John (. Carlisle, of Ken tucky, was yesterday elected Speak er of the forty eighth Congress bv , . ,,. . . . ' . seniauves, iveuer receiving me complimentary vote of the Repub licans. As is known to the readers of The Observer we favored the elec tion of liandall, because we feared that the election of Carlisle would result in radical tariff legislation which would alarm and disturb the business interests of the country, and react disastrously on the Demo- nmtir nartv in the comincr nresi-1 dential election. But if the con servative course is to be pursued which is outlined in the admirable speech of Mr. Carlisle on taking the cnair, tne country win nave no cause to regret his election nor the Democratic party any reason to apprehend trouble from it. Char lotte Observer. Mr. Carlisle is to be Democratic Speaker of the next House. We are glad of it. His nomination which means his election, is an ap proacn toward a irank expression oi leeling on the part ot the Demo crats. Tneir party has no excuse for existence if it is not for free trade, and unless it goes into the National canvass of 1884 on a free trade platform it will be trying to ride two horses at once. If Mr. Eandall had been nominated that would have meant an effort to conceal his par ty's real purposes until after the next election. Bat now we know the canvass will be an honest one. conauctea squarely on the issues of protection to American industry or a paring down of the tariff and an approach to free trade. For these reasons we think well of the nomination of Mr. Carlisle. It places his party on a platform on which we shall be glad to fight it. jsew xorK Tnbune. The conservative element of the Democratic party lost a most im portanc oattie last evening in Washington, and it is a defeat that seems iearlully pregnant with Democratic disaster in 1884. Mr. uarusie represented revenue re form, and what is practically free trade. Mr. Randall represented a tariff with discriminations in favor of oar vast and varied industries. By the nomination of Mr. Carlisle the sentiment of the Democratic party is proclaimed as against even incidental protection, and this de liverance is made in face of the fact that the party is just on the threshold of a presidential battle. Unless all precedents and accepted rules of political .construction must be at fault, the platform of the Democratic candidates for 1884 is now made, and, if so. Democratic defeat will be inevitable and over whelming. Philadelphia Times. As tnis selection is one against which we have earnestly advised, we cannot regard it with any great satisfaction; but we sincerely hope that all gloomy anticipations' con nected with the subject may be dispelled by the moderation and wisdom with which the business of the House will be conducted under the direction of the new Speaker. New York Sun. The Iron Men on Carlisle's Election. Pittsburgh, Dec. 2. The news of the nomination of Mr. Carlisle for Sneaker was received with sur prise if? this city. William Martin, Secretary of the Amalgamated As sociatlon of Jron apd Steel Work ers said i ''I am sorry for Mr. Carlisle's nomination, as he is a pronounced free trader. I have no fear that his election will have an immediate ef fect upon our industries, bat he may appoint a Ways and Means Com mittee that will affect us. We have ruined industries to-day, the result of want of protection. Take, for nstance, the tin plate trade. There haj not been a sheet of tin manu factured in this country for over four years. Why f Simply because our manufacturers cannot compete with foreign production in prices. cannot understand what the Dem ocrats mean by this move. Had they chosen Randall they would have been sure ol the Presidency in 1884 no doubt about that; but they have arrayed the workingmen solidly against them by electing Carlisle. Free trade means pauper labor, and I see no other way than lor the labor organizations of the country to combine against any further reduction ot the tariff. I understood there was a quiet move ment on foot before this nomina tion, which, beyond dispute, would have been successful, to revise the tariff in favor of better protection, but Pam afraid it is foiled now.'' Isaac Cline, President of the Na tional Association of Window Glass Blowers, said, "The election of Car lisle is a death blow to the Dem ocratic party. There must be a new protective party formed, and it will command the support of every la boring man in the land." "B. F. Jones, the head of the iron firm of Jones & Laaghlin, said: "Following the election of Carlisle, a further depression on the iron trade will occur, but it will not be lasting. I think the iron trade is down to hard pan now almost, but the country is in good condition, which is a thing to be thankful for. This move of the Democrats will help the Republicans in 1884.'' Max N. Moorhead of Moorhead, MacLean & Co., iron manufactu rers, said: "The iron trade is down to such a basis now that I don't think the election of Carlisle will hurt it much. His election is a good thing for the Republican party, however." Joshua Rhodes, President of the Pennsylvania Tube Works, said: "The election of Carlisle will work disaster to the iron interests of the country. It cannot be otherwise, for he is a free trader, and our in dustries demand ample protection. There will be a great deal of uncer tainty and a generally unsettled condition in the trade until his pol icy is fully defined." Other manufacturers expressed the same general views. N. Y. aSuh. Rrrenue Raiders Routed in Durham County. Washinton, Dec. 4. The following telegram was received from Deputy Collector John W. Betts, dated at Raleigh, N. C, Dec. 3d, 1883: "While destroying the illicit distillery of Ben. I Ellis, in Durham county, De"ember 1st, I was attacked and shot at from ambush twice The first shot caused a slight wound in my head ; the second shot passed over me as I fell. I was com pelled to leave by superior numbers, and while passing Ellis' house was chased by live men. I destroyed the still, but was unable to destroy the worm, camp and fifteen stands of beer. " Revenue Agent Kellogg has been or dered to proceed to the point of disturb ance with an armed posse and complete the work of destroying the still and beer stands, and pursue and arrest the parties who fired upon the revenue officers.

Koonce, one of the pioneer settlers of our village, and a carpenter Dy trade, ana tne man who nas by bard and earnest toil built most all of our dwellings, places of businers and churches, has this winter opened a nice little grocery and confectionery store. together with a restaurant and oyster saloon, and is prepared to satisfy tne appetites of the wayworn traveler, farmer, merchant, clerk, doctor, lawyer. mechanic or anybody else, and is giving entire satisfaction in the new business in which he has engaged, for we think the ten men who stopped at his restaur ant a few nights ago and ate two gallons of large hne New river oysters will agree with us in the above statement. At the residence of the bride 'smother, Mrs. Hannah Edwards, in Kinston, Miss Lucretia was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to our much es teemed townsman, Mr. S. J. Hudson, Dec. oth at 10 a. m., the Rev. Mr. Cash well officiating. The following couples composed the bridal party : P. H. Pells- tier and Miss Mamie Edwards, J. J. Ward and Lula Aldridge, J. Walter Pelletier and Miss Cora Edwards, N. H. Street and Miss Florence Edwards. These all accompanied the bride and groom to Pollok8ville, where the grand infair and reception took place, at the residence of our Mayor Hudson. The table was elegant just everything one could wish for. May the richest bless ings always be sent to the bride and groom and may they always be happy and live at their ease. Long life for them. advektisemknt. Kinston, N. C, Dec. 5th, 1888. Mr. Editor: A question that has agitated the public mind of our town and county for several days past was on yesterday settled by the bonding of w. w. Dunn, a., u. a. u Dy nr. H. Tull, Ch'mn Dem. Ex. Com. for this county, and Mr. Commissioner J. L. Kennedy. I say they bonded him be cause I have been informed and it is generally believed that but for their known responsibility financially be could not have given bond. I have no hesitation in saying the commissioners would have been justified in taking these gentlemen alone. There was a general rejoicing among the Republi cans at the result and it amuses us very much to know that one or more peti tions of Democratic aspirants found warm receptions; that is they went in the stove; besides those who expected the treat there are many irate Demo crats who do not hesitate to use "cuss words" in this connection. (Applause). My object in writing this, however, is not to give the above information simply, but to place myself in a proper attitude before my party friends in re gard to this bonding of our clerk, into which 1 nave been drawn against my will by others, and grossly misrepre sented. On Friday, Nov. 80th. the writer addressed a letter to Mr. Dunn in which I stated in substance, that I had been creditably informed that ha had stated that the lawyers in general, and I in particular, were doing all we could to prevent his bonding. I stated that it was false as to myseir. 1 gave him the names of some of my inform ants and requested that he give me the names of his at once in writing which he has failed to do, notwithstanding my special request. Now sir, I desire to 6tate while the subject is warm from much discussion that I have never ad vised or counseled or in any other man ner tried to hinder or delay, or in any manner interfered with Mr. Dunn s bonding to his prejudice. In 1882 he requested me to help him bond, which I did with my limited capital and in fluence; during the present year he has not requested any ai-ststance from me and stand iug bonds is not such an in teresting business as to induce one to seek an opportunity. Betweeu Mr. Dunn and mvself there are strong ties, first, that of friendship; second, consanguinity, and a third, which he understands which in my judgment ought to induce him to do me justice in this matter by either stating who his informants are, or exonerate me from any iDtention to injure him or benefit the Democrats by causing his failure to bond. I do not believe Mr. Dunn would do me an intentional wrong but. it is well known that we have in our county an organization styled "Tammany Hall" composed, it is said, of both Democrats and Republicans, or it is so reported, as an authority on this point I would re fer to Kilby Jones' celebrated letter during the last campaign. Now I don't think "Tammany " should act thus, for I introduced a bill to give them corpo rate powers. See Senate Journal, 1883, page 154. Hespectiully etc.. F. B. LOFTTN. Professional Cards.
