Mr. Arthur never could be seen be

at the White House like to be

when they make the rounds of' the
departments. The fact that they

ii.is gine to work to establish the
-auie business methods here which
!. employed at Albany. He in

here some of the leading Iiepnbli
r.iin were still taking our defeat
very hard, bnt latterly I have noticed
that they are becoming thoroughly
reconciled. One of the best friends
have, a otrong Republican, said to
me the other da: 'I believe this
change is a good thing for the
country. The Republican party
has been too long in power. Re
tirement will smash its bosse and
' relegate to perpetual obscurity the

had no rjesitation in saying that he
lelieved the change was a good
thing.
t W f'J bere by iol.tc.ans who ,
know, that John Qamcy Adams l

was offered the Secretaryship of the

to appoint some one in his Cabinet
from New England who would be
satisfactory to the Independents,

Adams considered the proposition,
bat was in the end obliged to de
cline. He has the management of
an estate of several millions, be
sides the care of his father, Charles
FrancU Adams, who is helpless.
Mr. Adams the elder is dying from

WASHINGTON f.OSMl'.
March 1S.S,",.
A succession of important events
have t rails pired at the ( apital si nee
I last wrote- you. The recently
elected President of the ("nitcd
States has pronounced Ins inaugural
address, and taken the oatii oi
office. Tho I'lty has doubled its
population and again divided it.
The new ('abmet has been officially
announced and continued by the
Senate, now convened in extra ses
sion, and the new Democratic re
gime has started upon its course
Everything m connection with
the festivities of the -1th mst. was
satisfactory, complete, and impres
sive. Even the weather amiably
fell in step with the occasion and
snoweil a lairer lace than it lias
worn lor twenty-five years. Never
1 on a similar occasion has
Washing.
, ton teen so thronged with visitois
! or looked so gay. Pennsylvania
avenue was a mass of flags and
banting, the amount of material
'used ln?ing beyond estimate. No
i serious occurrences marrrd the
I effect of (he celebration as a whole.
The people and the pageant lived
. up
to the weather, lhero wert
some almost nnprecedented jams,
snch a.s that at the inauguration
ball, which drew from President
Cleveland the remark: "I have
never before seen any thing like
this,'' and on the White House lot
where the fireworks were displayed.
Hut there were no railroad acci
dents, no platforms broken down
with their burdens of spectators, no
street broils occurred, no jealousies
nor misunderstandings to break the
harmony of the day. As the pro
cession moved over the broad as
phalt avenne to the Capitol, anil
afterward as the long column de
filed and stretched away fully four
miles to the westward, accompanied
by the harmonious din of 125 bands
of masic, and the flaunting of na
tional banners, the scene was grand

occupant of the White House haw
had ample opportunity already to
realize the strain to which he will
be Babjected during the next four
Sears. The city is still full of visit
ors, and many of them are unvril
ling to depart without shaking
hands with him, aud receiving an
office. Several times Mr. Cleve
land has felt constrained to leave
his official duties and hold informal
receptions.
The President's first official act
was the nomination of" the Cabinet
and the secoud was the signing of
Gen. Grant's commission as an
officer on the retired list of the
army with the rank of General.
Secretary Lincoln brought the com
mission to the White House and
laid it before the President for Mg
nature. Tho Iresident glanced at
it and laid it aside, remarking. "I
suppose there is no hurry alniut it."
Secretary Lincolu picked it up and
said, "Well, the fact is, Mr. Pre.-i
dent, one of my highest aspirations
before leaving the Cabinet is to
attest this commission, and vou
j would personally oblige me by
signing it now." "Maybo Mr. En
j dicott, its Secretary of War, shares
I your aspiration, Mr. Lincoln,"
j quietly remarked the President.
I again laying the paper aside. Sec
retary Lincoln, somewhat abashed.
took his leave, and later President
Cleveland signed the commission,
' as did also his Secretary of W ar.
The new ('abmet seems to be one
designed lor haul work, and well
equipped lor its duties. For some
1 days it was kno n who would com
pose it. save that a slight uncer
tainty clouded twooi'the names.
Therefore the lull list i n-ca-inned
little surprise. The fitness ot Sena

presence at the President "s council
board is also conceded. ( i the

HOUSE.
The House was called to order at
10:30 a. m.. Speaker IIol in the
chair.
A number of bills were passed.
Mr. Dixon rose to a question of
personal privilege, and charged
Speaker Hoit ( who had on one occa
sion moved to postpone until the
1st ol May one of the bills on
which Mr. Dixon had spent a great
deal of labor) with laziness, dull
ness and stupidity, with many ad
jectives thrown in, and Speaker
Holt very meekly confessed that he
was dull and stupid, and that, he
hoped, would be a sufficient apology
for not appreciating tho benefits
that would accrue from the bill re
ferred to, which he had moed
to postpone in a motion often made
in Congress and in legislative
bodie i.
Mr. Winborne rose to a question
of personal piivilege in regard to
the repoit of the investigating
committee .submitted last night
and said that his name was not
- ! Mned, to t,K; rel,ort and
i peared in the, account
that it ap
peared in the, account ot the pro
ceedings in tlit' paper this morning
by error. That alter a fair and im
partial consideration ot the facts in
the case, he was still of the opinion
that the privileges of the House
had been infringed, and that Mr.
Pearson had been stricken for fail
ing to explain the words spoken
upou the floor, which were parlia
mentary and which the House had
accepted as such. That he did not
obtain the report last night out of
deference to the opinion and
wishes uf a majority of the com
mittee. THANKS TO
fKAKEli HOLT.
in a handsome
.nr. aring, in a
speech, introduced the following
resolution, which was unanimously
adopted:
"Resolved, By the House of Rep
resentatives that the thanks ol the
House are due and are hereby ten
dered to Thomas M. Holt, speaker,
for the fair, able and impartial
manner with which he has presided
over its deliberations, and he will
take home our grateful remem
brance of the kindness and courtesy
with which he has treated each
member of this body."
The following protest was filed in
the House this morning.
"In the exercise of hit constitu-
tional right I ask flint the following
protest be entered upon the jour
nals of this House:
"I respectfully protest against
the report which the House adopted
last evening in the matter of per
sonal privilege, for the reason t hat
I consider the said report inconsist
ent with, itself and its adoption by
the nouge inconsistent with tho
dignity of the Ilonse, inconsistent
with the immemorial privileges of
its members, inconsistent with
the interests of peaceable govern
ment. "In the first part of the report
the committee find that the words
used by me were parliamentary; in
five minutes after these words were
ottered I was questioned by an in-,
dividual whose name I had not

matter on which I had risen to a
question of personal privilege.
"For declining to retract the
words which I had spoken in de
bate, or to construe them or to
gloss them to suit the pleasure of
this individual, 1 received a blind
ing blow in the face which lias kept
me supine ever since. I was as
saulted because I chose to exercise
the poor privilege of ignoring an
anonymous newspaper article, ab
solutely impertiment to the question

"The action
of the House in the
premises I construe to be tanta
mount to an absolution of the obli
gations which men owe to civil
government and the duties which
they owe to society.

LETTER FKOM. RALEIGH.
Raleigh, March 10, lfe-85.
i There was a most exciting debate, or
, rather battle royal, in the House of
i Representatives last night on the Pear-son-McAden
skirmish, which has proved
only u war of words to all but poor Mr.
i Pearson, whose nose has been made to
suffer for the offence of his tongue. Mr.
.i.eAden has been neither fined nor im
prisoned. He telegraphed from Char-
lotte to a friend here, before coming
1 down, requesting him to inform Gen.
i Johnston Jone3 that he (McAden) had
fortified himself in Charlotte and was
: awaiting the assault of the State militia;
. but the affair proved no joke in the end,
though it is generally admitted he came
out best from the fight.
The resolution respecting the oyster
: industry, whi'-h passed the Senate yes
terday, after having gone through the '
nouse. is a u,u m uUC ... lue
eastern part of the State, and we owe
j its passage to the exertions of our ener-
getic hsh commissioner, b. Q. Worth,
who read his last report that Mr. Worth
i suggested that the Legislature should
pass a bili allowing our resident citizens
to enter all bottoms not covered by nat
ural oyster rocks, as vacant lands are
now entered, provided that the waters
so enteied shall be worked in the culti
vation of the oyster. According to a
rough estimate t.y Lieut. Winslow,
whose address upon Oyster Culture ac
companies Mr. Worth's Report, North
Carolina owns six hundred thousand
acres of oyster bottom, of which only
three thousand acres are under cultiva
tion. From this three thousand acres
the annual profit, according to Mr.
Worth, is 200,000, which is an annual
income per acre of S200. By reference
to the paper read before the State Expo
sition by Prof. Brooks of John Hopkins
University, it appears that Rhode Island
has 962 acres imperfectly cultivated in
oysters and her annual sales from her
oyster beds is 80,500, an annual product
per acre of more than S700. These
tigures show that there is lying at our
doors a mine of wealth, more -valuabie
thsn lie in the bosoms of our western
mountains. But the condition of our
reaping is the labor of sowing.
The resolution which passed yester
day proposes to prepare for this sowing;
it instructs the Department of Agricul
ture to appropriate $2,000 to having a
survey made of the oyster bottoms of
the State, and Governor Scales, not as
Chairman of the Board, but as Governor
of the State, to apply to the National
Government for aid in making this sur
vey by detailing a competent person to
take charge of it, and furnishing the
proper boats and instruments for carry
ing it on.
A report of it is ordered to be made
to the next Legislature, so that the
oyster bottoms may be placed on the
same footing as the public lands.
T.ioni-aTijint-. Winslnw. in his nanpr.
, shows that wherever the natural ojster
beds have not been cultivated they hae
gradually disappeared and are not re
newed, and that they always do run
out when they are common property
and the industry controlled and man
aged by the State, and can only be kept
up when they are private property.
Professor Brooks in his paper. "'On the
Possibility of an Oy6ter Farming Indus
try in North Carolina,'" says:
'The natural resources of the earth
are sufficient for a scanty population of
savages, but we might as well try to
supply the demand for horses in our
cities and farming regions by catching
colts on onr prairies, as to hope to sup
port a civilized human population upon
the national products of the unculti-
I vated earth.
We all recognize that this is true of
: the lands out of the water, but many
people believe that it is not true of the
i lands under the water. Private industry
i Can 00 very litue to increase iuB suypiy
. . n
ot migratory sea ns
a. ana it is tnere-
fore obvious that no one person should
be permitted to monopolize the supply
which belongs to the whole people.
"Now does this hold true of the
oyster? It is true that the natural re
sources of the State belong to the whole
people, but an oyster is as stationary as
a potato, ana it it is true tnac private
industry can promote the wealth and
prosperity of the State by the cultiva
tion of the oyster grounds, public rights
must give wa3-, just as the public right
to the lands above water have given
way, for the good of tho public as a
whole, before private agriculture."
After showing that natural oyster j
beds cannot be kert up as common State :
property, he says:
"The'clear-headed citizens of Con-;
necticut have discovered this, and they
are rapidly developing a system of
private oyster culture, with very re
markable success, but their climate is '
unfavorable, and oysters in thallow
water are often destroyed by star-fish
and other enemies which are much less
dangerous in our own land-locked and
brackish waters than they are in Long
Island sound. ,
"If the people of Maryland and ir- ,
ginia would adopt laws for the encour- '
agement of oyster farming, they might
draw into their States the energetic men .
and the millions of dollars of capital :
which are now engaged in this business
ia Connecticut.
"Unfortunately there is. in each of,
these (states, a large and influential body
of fishermen, who have always made j
their living by fishing upon the public
beds, and these were all bitterly op- ,
posed to any system of private cultiva-
tion so long as the Datural beds are not j
entirely destroyed. I
Before this happens the Connecticut
farmers will have obtained control of i
the market unless thev shall have been i
drawn to North Carolina by the ad van- j
t-iges of a warmer climate, the absence '
cf"niarin.; enemies to the ovster. and
the much more rapid growth of the I
ov
m South
waters.
"Here then is the opportunity of i did say to McAden does not appear in

Raleigh, March 11th.
The News and Observer of yesterday
contained an item to the effect that
Governor Jar vis had been put in nomi
nation for the office of Commissioner of
Agriculture in Washington, and Would
probably receive the appointment; bat
i it is rumored here that an, esort will be
j made to retain his services for the Old
North State, and that he will,' at the
: next meeting of the State Board, ot Aff
, riculture on the 1st Wednesday in April!
be elected to fill the position of Com
missioner of Agriculture, now held . by
! Montford Maghee,.Esq., which wOl be
more agreeable to "him than leaving the
State. The salary of this commissioner
is to be raised to 83. 000, and that pay
here will be more than 86.000 in Wash
i ington, and with an office in the Depart
ment building, and passes over all the
rairoadg to make agricuitural addresses
he wU, be w hj fa d
hftlm ftnd naU p out thfl
any plan8 e has inaugurated for the
advancement of the agricultural inter
est b of the State.' As Governor, he has
literally been the Board of Agriculture,
and has done so much to advance the
interest of that department, outside of
the limits of the State that his friends
feel glad to know that it will not be dis
agreeable to him to remain in Raleigh
and carry out his work.
Several prominent men from different
parts of the State have been spoken of
as proDaDie successors to the present in
cumbent, but, from all I can gather,
once it is known that Governor Jarvis
will accept the position there will be no
doubt of his election by the Board.
un all sides 1 hear regrets expressed
at the terrible fire which has desolated
New Berne, which, unlike some of our
fires, has not merely destroyed a few
wooden structures but has swept away
some of the best business stands in the
city. "How did it originate V" is asked
by every one, a question as yet unan
swered. ,
I have just returned from a visit to
the sweetest" place in Raleigh, Roys
ter's candy factory, where I saw the
whole process of making the various con
fectionery he places before the public.
Everything is so neat, and the workmen
so sLilful that it is a real pleasure to
visit their work rooms. This not being
a busy time, the firm is only turning
out about fifteen hundred pounds of
candy a day, but they often put op twoJ
thousand pounds daily for weeks at a
time. Think of it. two thousand pounds
of Royster's candy! In the window there
has recently been .: placed a log-cabin
with well, pig pen, and other surround
ings, all made of different kinds of
candy and the words "No Fence Law"
placarded over the exhibit. It is the
work of a country lad employed in the
establishment.
From this point I went to the ice fac
tory to see the prooess of making arti
ficial ice, but found it not yet in opera
tion. Last year they manufactured ten
tons of excellent ice daily, this year
they increase to twenty tons a day and
have contracts for supplying Goldsboro
and Durham as well as the hotels at
Morehead City during the summer.

The Closing Scenes of the GenerM
Assembly.
Cor. or Daiiv Juvksal.
Raleigh, March 10th, 1885.
The closing hours of the General As
sembly are always fraught with more
or less of excitement, but in all my ex
perience extending over many years
and many sessions. I do not remember
to have 6een anythiug to excel the
scenes in our State capitol yesterday
and to-day.
THE MCADEN" AND PEARSON AFFAIR.
In the House last night we had the
report of the special committee on the
Pearson-McAden difficulty aud a
precious time was had over it. Tbe
facts are briefly these: Richmond
Pearson, one of the Representatives
from Buncombe, and a son of the late
Chief Justice Pearson, has somewhat
distinguished himself as an opponent of
certain railroad measures which some
; of the other Western members sup-
ported. Pearson '8 opposition seemed
to arise from the heavy draws which
the schemes referred to made directly
i or indirectly upon the State treasury.
1 Pearson's father was a well known Re
i publican and young Richmond after
I leaving Chapel Hill was appointed to a
j foreign consulship under Orant. He
: never took any part in State politics
until the '"counting in of Hayes when
he resigned his consulship, returned to
this State and has ever since affiliated
with the Democratic party. Some time
ago an article appeared in a Charlotte
paper generally attributed to R. V.
McAden, severely criticising Richmond
Pearson's political antecedents. Not
long after, in a discussion in the House,
James L. Robinson, from Slacon, ex-Lieutenant-tioverjior,
indulged in some
remarks in reply to something that
Pearson had said in which he. Robin
son, inouired "why if he was so sensi
tive as to what had been said on that I
floor he. Pearson, had not replied tot
that publication in the Charlotte paper
At this juncture Mr. Pearson arose and
saia: win tno gentiemau
tho irentlemau from
Macon allow me to state my
me to state my reason
now f" To which Robinson replied,
"certainly,"' and gave way for Pear
son's rejoinder, who said: Be
cause I did not think that worthy
of my notice; while I did think that
anything and everything that the gen
tleman from Macon might say on this
floor was eminently worthy of my at
tention.'" That was all that Pearson
said, ana his tone ana manner were
courteous and void or any semoianceoi
"Hence. Col. Tom Fuller, a friend of
McAden 's, was on the floor, and he soon
after went down Fayettevifle street,
found McAden and stated (it
pre-
sumeuj wnat ikir piaee, uu- wimi uc
, I 1 1 . 1 . V. r.
manner that "he could apply
it to
whichever ho chose. McAden then I
struck him a violent blow on the face. ;
which seems to have stunned him, and
is said broke the bridge of his nose. At j
ail events Pearson has been laid up ever
since. This affair has created a great
deal of feeling, .as there have been many
competing statements: but the forego
ing are the exact facts. In the discue-
-loiis on tiie sire. ts. and in the lobbeys ,
t he cliaracier of both parti. -s has been I
the subject of frequent remark. Mr. j
M -A'i. n is said to be president of a bank i
m Charlotte. His best fnends.all give ,
linn the retaliation of being a "fire
'ater.
always goiag heavily armed
ii.d ready t" -hoot on the slightest pro
vocation. Richmond Pearson, on the1
"her hand is said by his many warm
iriends to be a young man of a very,
.unable and iMuiliMlh disposition one ;
!.- h.o a natural shrinking from
raw Is and li-ticulT. w ith a hinh sense
! honor, and a kind heart. He is the I
v..iv opposite of McAden in disposition!

'. ' a- have won him munv friends. The
