When I he present Ixiard ot coiiiiiiiss.onci s were tirst elected, the inmates ol the poor house numbered no less than sixty live: now they numls-r twelve l'.ut while the inmates have decreased, those w horn differ ent parts of the county receive a monthly allowance, have greatly increased: and this inorea.se. as the commissioners have reason to be lieve, is caused ill gieat p. lit by paupers from other count les conn ng into this county and being h.u bored by their friends lor the tune neces sary to require a residence, at once Ix'gm to apply for assistance. To this fact ths commissioners would particularly call tie at'entmn ol the magistrates, Ix-hex ;t,g that they have it in their powei by taking prompt steps to return to their na tive counties all persons w hom t hey may find in their townships not residents' thereof, and atxnit to bo come a county charge, to avoid much of this expense. 1 he cum miRsioners have left no effort un tried to cut it down, and meastir ably have succeeded. The commissioners would aio call the attention of the magistrates, , particularly to the heavy expenses incident to the jail and eourLs. be lieving that they and tiny only, have the power to reduce them, and they therefore earnest I v recom mend that they use every effort to dis countenance litigation in their re spective townships; that they use their lHst endeavors to. settle and dispose of in their own courts all cases that may come before them, and that tht'y make no commitments and send no c;ises to the higher tribunals except iu those cases where kucIi action is alsolutely necesRaiy and cannot be avoided. As will be tKTceived. the acconnt for the department ol justice h.is risen in the last nfteoii months from ?:5, 10J..V) jer annum, to f V 8l2ii..M, an increase of J, u.;.::i over the exX3ist of l.ist year, and yet notwithstanding an addiyonal term of the court has In en added, many cases are still not reached, and un less some remedy is applied to cur tail the litigation about trilling and worthless matters now- crowding our dockets to the exclusion ofciTil causes of importance, the expenses of our courts and jail w ill gradually but surely become an intolerable burthen.

This source id" revenue, however, together with all others in excess ot th-- const, tu"l ion, il equation h.iv : ng . i en cut oil by the injunction, the county is today without a dol lar that ;t can appropriate for any purpose, except the school, etc. iiii-u; loin cl.aloiie. And yet some of the bridges, notably, the Unces creek bridge, w hich is much used, ar, out of repair and m a danger ous condition; and the county, while in no wise responsible for the existing state of things and utterly povieilessto remedy the evil is lia ble to be sued at any moment for no small amount, by some person, or his representative, who m cross ing these bridges may suffer acci dent to limb or loss of 'life. Men cannot 1h forced to furnish supplies, or to build bridges with out pay: neither can they be made to t.ike the depreciated scrip of either individual or corporation. . xcept et such discount as they see lit to demand; hence the county's scrip, the only medium under the control of the commissioners, upon which to base a contract, having since the injunction was obtained, depreciated from par to 7."i (ind 7(1 cent in the dollar, the commission ers have delayed making many mm h needed repairs, hoping that t he bridges would last nntil after the meeting of t ho legislature, when by an enactment legalizing a tax sutlicient to meet the necessary expenses of the county they trusted with the ability to pay cash upon completion, to be able to rebuild I Inces creek bridge, and to repair the others at a cost of nearly fifty1 per cent less than they can have it done tor you with nothing with wliK li to pay tho bill but depreci ated, and for the timo being, noil re deemable county vouchers. The Unces creek bridge, howev- ; er, is reporteil in such bad and' dangerous condition that they will j be compelled at this or their next meeting to make a contract lor re building it with some one who will be willing to take county vonchers ' in payment, and so long as there is ! noiundin the treasury for their redemption, you may rest assured i that tho discount demanded will 1 not be materially less than it is at present. The county is indebted to Mr. Sierling(of this city by note, bear ing s per cejit interest in the sum of five thousand dollars, which money was used in the construction of the conrt house, and is included in the, cost thereof as given above. It is' also indebted to the trustees of the New- Berne Academy by note, bear ing 7A per cent interest in the sum of four thousand dollars, being the purchase money for the corner lot adjoining the county's property u-von which the court house is erected. These notes are past due and the parties wish their money, but the county having no power to levy a tax in excess ot the equation its revenues are not sufficient to pay them off. The commissioners recommend therefore, as the interest is accumu lating and compounding, that ap plication be made to the next Gen eral Assembly tor the passvtge of an act enabling them to lay a sjvecial tax lor this purpose, also for meet ing the deficit that has and will under the present costly court sys tem, occur in its general expenses, so long as the present equation is preserved. They also recommend that iu the above application be in cluded power to levy a tax sutlicient to finish the court house. In its piescnt iu-, complete state it is liable to great damage, and the commissioners icel assured that the taxpayers are not in aeeotd with a policy that tends to the destruction of their piop, : ty .

Ceneral Master j Workmi.n Powderly is at his home here. He said today that he had a fine time in 1 Cleveland, and that he was well satis-! lied w -i tli the result of the special rtieet- ' ing of the General Assembly. In an swer to a question as to whether he had j been annihilated by the radical element in the Convention he replied: "Considering the fact that the conven- : tion granted everything I asked except one, it is amusing to hear that I was an nihilated. " 'What did the convention refuse to yon?" It absolutely refused to accept my resignation an General Master Work man. I left the chair and told the dele gates they would have to accept it, but they positively refused. That doesn't look as if I was annihilated, does it? '"The plans which I foreshadowed in advance of the convention were carried out. Hereafter no local assembly of the order can inaugurate a strike until the members have firRt voted on the ques tion by secret ballot. Each man must record his verdict. Then the executive board of the district is called in, and the members of that body will endeavor to effect a settlement by arbitration, so that ths strike will not be undertaken except a a last resort. Not only this, but every week during the continuance of a strike the men will vote secretly as to w hether they will continue or not. The feeling of the order is strongly against strikes. If strikes extend be yond the district, they will become a matter for the general executive board to act upon. Such a strike as that on the Gould Southwestern system would not be possible now unless the general executive board ordered it." "Is it true that the general executive board was enlarged by the addition of men who were not in harmony with your views?"1 ''No such thing was done. We did not, in fact, enlarge the executive board. We merely appointed, at my request, six men as the agents of that board, and to act under its orders when ever required. They have no executive power, and simply carry out our in structions." "Were you authorized to recall the commissions of the organizers?" "At my request the commissions of organizers were cancelled, and I am authorized to appoint new organizers right along. Hereafter no man who is addicted to "drink will be appointed an organizer." "A great deal has been said about the Home Club. What is the character of that club?" "The Home Club in the order is a body of men who get together to estab lish a home for aged members of the organization. The man who was most radical in the club was overthrown last summer. How serious the alleged op position was to me was shown by the fact that I was unanimously elected at Hamilton last October. Not a voice was raised against me. There is absolutely no opposition to me in that club at present. Most of those wild rumors were set afloat by reporters who were indignant because I did not spend valu able time giving them news. " "Are vou a candidate for Congress.-" "No. sir. "' I '"Wouldn't you run if you were to re ceive a nomination?" " I am not a candidate in any sense of the word. I am not looking for that nomination, or a no.nination for any other office. My duties as General Master Workman will take all my time and attention. " I Congressional Work. Junk 8. House. Judge Kelly, of Pena., occupied the session today in a j Tigorous reply to the speech made by Gen. Wheeler, of Alabama, Friday, at- tacking the memory of Edward M.

Sknate Mr. Daw es offered a resolu tion calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury for information as to the legal authority, opinions and decisions upon ; which was baaed the action of the Treasury in postponing the collection of the tax on whisky bonded for export j and afterwards returned to this country 1 in 1SS5 and 18SG. and other information I in regard to the whisky affected by ' such Treasury action. Agreed to. j The bill for the relief of naval cadets, i dropped from the rolls by the operation i of the naval appropriation bill of 1882, was then discussed for some time, i slightly amended, .and finally laid upon . the table. The Senate then proceeded with the ; bills on tho calendar. ! Tho following measure was passed: A bill providing for a commission of three persons to be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to investigate the truth of the alleged discoveries of the specific cause of yellow fever. The commission is directed to go to Mexico, 1 and, if necessary, to Cuba, Central America and Brazil, for purposes of the j investigation. The commissioners are i to bo medial men, one or more of them ; to be an officer or officers of the govern- , ment. and specially versed in biological research, particularly in the microscopic investigation of the germs of contagious i diseases. Chicago Anarchists iu Custody. Cuicwo, June 8. John A. Henry, the notorious crank socialist, anarchist, etc. is locked up at the Chicago avenue sta tion. Yesterday afternoon he boarded an incoming train at the northwestern station, and picking up a cap and punch which the conductor had just laid aside, he donned the cap, and, punch in hand, called out, "This way for Elgin, Lock port and Freeport. "' Some of the offi cials wanted him to tell what he meant b such conduct. He shouted in reply: "It's none of your business. I am a r-ocialist and anarchist. I haye as much rifjlit to this cap and punch as any one else. I am a communist and own my sh ire of the world, and have a right to it. Vou can't arrest me." He was promptly arrested. He was very noisy when he reached the station, and kept it up throughout last right. At times he -ea rned to be a raving maniac. There is im doul't about his being weak min i 1.
