of a government wherein every citizen

crated by their prayers and patriotic
devotion, has for almost a century
borne the hope and the aspirations of a
great people through prosperity and
peace and through the shock of foreign
conflicts and the perils of domestic
strife and vicissitudes. By the father
of his country our constitution was
commended for adoption as the result of
a spirit of amity and mutual concession.
In that same spirit it should be admin
istered, in order to promote the Lasting
welfare of the country and to secure
the full measure of its price lees benefits
to us and to those who will succeed to
the blessings of our national life. The
large variety of diverse and competing
interests subject to Federal control, per

their claims, need give us no fear that

of Monro' ud of Washington and Jef
ferson. ' Peace, commerce and honest
friendship with all nations, entangling
alliances with none. A dm' regard for
the interest! and prosperity of nil the
people demands thut our finances shall
b established upon ouch a sound ar.d
sensible baais aa shall win the confidence
of bmuneejt interests and make the wage
of labor more sure and steady, and thut
our system ef revenue shall be ?o ad
jufted as to relieve the people from un
necessary taxation, have u due regard
to the intresw of capital invented
and of workingmen employed in
American industries. and prevent
ing the accumulation of a surplus
in the treasury to temjt
extravagance and waste. Care for thw
property of the nation and for the needs
of future settlers requires that the pub
lic domain should be protected from
purloining schemes and unlawful occu
pations. Tho conscience of thp people
demands that the Indians within our
boundaries shall be fairly and honestly
treated as wards of the government,
and their education and civilization
promoted with a vievc to their ultimate
citizenship, and that p-.lygamy in the
Territories, destructive of the family re
lation and offensive to the moral sense
of the civilized world, shall be repressed.
The laws should be rigidly enforced
which prohibit the immigration of a
servile class to compete with American
labor, with no intention of acquiring
citizenship, and bringing with them and
retaining habits and customs repugnant
to our si vilization. Th people demand
reform in the administration of the
government, and the application of bus
iness principles to public affairs. Asa
mens to this end civil service reform
should be in good faith enforced. Our
citizens have the right to protection
from the incompetency of public em
ployee who hold their places solely as
the reward of partisan service, and
from the corrupting influence of those
who promise, and the vicious methods
of those who expect such rewards; and
those who worthily seek public employ
ment have the right to insist that merit
and competency shall be recognized in
stead of party subserviency, or the sur
render of honest political belief. In the
administration of a government pledged
to do equal and exact justice to all men
there should be no pretext for anxiety i
touching the protection of the freedmen
in their rights or their securitv in the,
enjoyment of their privileges under the
coostitntion and its amendments. All
discussion as to their fitness for the
plac accorded to them as American cit
ixens is idle and unprofitable, except us
its suggestions are nece.sary for their
improvement. The fact that they are
citizens entitles them to all the rights
due to that relation, and charges them
with all its duties obligations and re
sponsibilities. These topics and the constam and
ever varying wants of an active and
enterprising population may well re
ceive the attention anil the patriotic
endeavor of all who make and execute
the Federal laws. Our duties are prac
tical and call for industrious applica
tion, and intelligent perception of the
claims of public office, and above all. a
firm determination by united action to
secure to all the people of the land the
full benefits of the best form of govern
ment ever vouchsafed to nun. And let
ua not trust to human effort alone, but
humbly acknowledging the power and
goodness of Almighty God, who pre
sides over the destinies of nations, and
ho has at all times been revealed in (
our country's history, let us invoke His
aid and His blessing upon our labors.
A FEW DOTH FROM FLOIUDA.
The greater part oi the orange
crop of ISM has been disposed of.
though there are some fevr gToves
in which the ripe fruit may yet be
aeea.
During the week there have been
four hundred and tifty three arrivals
at the three hotels in Ocala. These
do not include the arrivals at the
namerous private boarding houses,
nor do they include the arrivals
from various points in Florida.
One can see some one here that
favors any one he ever saw.
The temperature in Ocala has
averaged daring the past week at 7
a. m. t!2 degrees; at 1L' in. 2: at 7 p.
m. 151.
The changes of weather are very
sudden and one feels them more
sensibly than in North Carolina.
We have had ice here several tune
this winter, hut our frosts do not
kill vegetation as badly as the frosts
of 'orth Carolina do.
The partial estimate of real estate
transfers of Marion connty during
the week amount to thirteeu thous
and dollars. This is only a partial
et iniate and does not include the
numerous intents and homesteads.

weeks to get it repealed. This
lobbyist had gotten np a paper and
had it laid on the desks of the
members. When he was before the
committee this man had asked that
the tax be reduced to $50, and
undertook to show that such a re

073,000 revenue. "I asked him if;
we hadn't better take the tax off;
entirely and raise a million. He
left and I haven't seen him since."
Sundry amendments were voted

Mr. Alston moved to reconsider
the vote by which 20 cents was

The House refused to reconsider.
Mr. Tate said that the sum of

A TIIII' TO NEW BERNE.
Editor Journal: Having visited
your city.recently I desire to tell jour
many readers, some of whom have never
visited the "Elm City," what I think of
the old town and the many curiosities I
saw while there.
After a ride of twnty-four hours on
the cars we landed, and after a good
night's rest a friend took me through
the city. We visited many places of in
terest to me, as I was an up-country
"tar-heel," from among the hills and
hollows of Western North Carolina.
Here I find a marked difference be
tween the up country and, the low
country. From Goldsboro down not a
hill or hollow was to be seen; even the
streams we crossed appeared to be per
fectly eddy. We visited the business
part of the city, where we found trade
quite brisk in the various departments.
From thence we went down South Front
street; from there we entered the wharf
and took a general view of the steamers
and sail-boats anchored in the docks.
We entered the Old Dominion dock.
Here we found the Shenandoah steamer
which had just landed. We went
aboard and took a general view. We
found her to be a yeiy nice and com
fortable boat. We were informed she
was the largest vessel that came to New
Berne. Being informed she would
leave at 4 p. m. that day we made it
convenient to return and see her craw
fish and take her exit.
During our stay we met with some
few friends whom we had seen before.
Among them we will mention Mr. Billie
Watson, an insurance agent, auctioneer,
etc., a business man. Mr. Geo. Allen
we found in his old stand, where he
carries on a very extensive hardware
store, which is a great convenience to
the farmer. He js also a trustee of
Davidson College, and takes a deep in
terest in its welfare. Here 1 will say
that Dr. Hepburn, President of David
son College, having resigned, the trus
tees met in Charlotte on Wednesday,
Feb. 14th, and elected Rev. T. D. With
erspoon, D.D. LL.D., of Louisville, Ky.
In our round we visited the oyster
canning factory, where' we found over
two hundred hands at work preparing
the oysters for market. It was worth
going to see, and we would advise ell
who never saw an oyster factory to
visit one, and be satisfied that there and
there alone each and every one will get
his quota of his peck of dirt.
During our sojourn in your city we
formed a great many acquaintances,
among them Prof. Thomas, principal of
the graded school, who very kindly
asked us to visit his school, which we
did. We found the new building a
very substantial one, and well arranged
in the different departments. School
going on during our visit. Prof. T.
carried us in his library room, where he
showed ns a choice .selection of about
two thousand books which he had col
lected for the benefit of his school. He
then took us through the different
grades of his school, telling us as we
passed through what grade it was. ;
Everything had the appearance of being i
very neatly arranged.
We also called round and took a view j
of the new court house, now Bearing j
completion, and when completed will I
not only be an ornament to New Berne, ;
but the State ought to feel proud to
know she will soon have one ol the bent
and most substantial buildings in the
country
I find the place a very pleasant re
treat for strangers to spend a few days,
and they will find the citizens to be
very kind and hospitable. Besides,
they will find it a very quiet place.
During my stay I did not see but one
case of intoxication among so mmiy
I bar-rooms.
I took dinner at the Central Hotel,
kept by Mr. W. E. Patterson, during my
stay. I found it quite a pleasant place
to stop at. and the weary traveler will
find the substantial of life in abund
! ance, and all other accommodation. Mr.
'P., I understand, has been running a
hotel for many years, and by his long
experience, knows how to accommodate
strangers in a strange place and make
them feel like they were at home.
I Rpent Sunday in the city and at-
fpn jfid rhfi PreRhvterian Sundav School
at 9:30 a. m.. conducted by Mr. Uolhster,
who took a great interest in the Sunday
School. I did not lind as large attend
ance as I had anticipated. I also at
tended services at the Presbyterian
Church at 11 a. m.. and heard an excel
lent sermon from the Rev. Mr. Vass (an
accomplished gentleman). Before I
left, he came around to make me a call.
During his stay he spoke of his trip to
Kurope, which was very entertaining.
I also went around to the M. E. Sunday
School, conducted by Mr. J. II. Bell,
that evening at 3 p. m., and found there
a gooaiy nurnoer in anenuance.
I did
not make Mr. Bell's acquaintance, but
he seemed to be the right man in the
, , i . t - L. :
riglit place, irom wnat i saw ui nun. i
From there" we visited the cemetery,
where we found some very handsome j
monuments, which had been erected by
friends at a great cost. The evening
beinc a little cool, and our overcoats not
not being along, we did not tarry a great ;
while, that night we returnea to me
M. E. Church and heard Kev. Jjr. Mann j
deliver a good sermon to a well-filled i
house. I was very much pleased to see
the improvement inside the Church, 1
both in buauty and comfort. I w-as in-
formed afterwards that the ladies' so
ciety intends having the seats all cush
ioned, which wall add much to the com- :
fort of them.
We will now- wiud up on
I
the stock
tern N C
law. Thi'dav we left for Western
we found the train very much crowded
with passengers from Greene and Lenoir
counties on their way to Haleigh. See
ing there w as some excitement existing
among the passengers, we were anxious
to lind out the cause of the excitement.
It seems from what we could learn, that
those two counties had been under the
stock law for sometime, and a few
weeks ago there was a petition sent up
to the Legislature, by a certain class, to
have the stock law abolished. This
delegation .of ''' men i wre m favor of
sustaining it finding the writer of
this article on the tram, and being from
a -toi-k law country. I was interviewed
bv niarlv every man in the train in re
gard to my opinion. 1 finally agreed f
go ivuli the delegation up to the Capitol
and iiitrodin e them to some of our
country boys, who were fence-law -abiding
men. After performing this
dutv. 1 bade tie in adieu and returned
to l i.e depot for t In- -1 -4 o train.
