It id estimated that before Congress can provide any measure of relief against this dingerons hording np of the pec pie's money it will run np to one handred and forty millions. The News and Observer takes ground for the distribution of this large earrdas to the States according to population. This is a good solu tion of the problem, what to do with it, and it should bo done as soon as Congress convenes and then the collection of a surplus should be stopped forthwith. It Is reported that the Virginians are very much disappointed in Mr. Conklin's sDeech before the Su the habecu corpui preme Court in eases involving the right of Judge Bond to interfere with the collec- it would te conuueteu mue tioa of taxes in that State.

He wrote; a letter which, it is said, secured success to the Democratic ticket in 25ew York. Now he appoints George L. Rives assistant Secretary ot State and it tarns oat that Rives was a warm supporter of LteLaucey Nlcoll, the bolting Democratic can didate against Col. Fellows for District Attorney. With the as aistvnee of Governor Hill who is continually throwing fire brands in the Republican camp, the Presi dent will be able to keep New York in the Democratic column next rear, while North Carolina will not nake any serious kick on. account of Rives getting the place that was wanted for General Cox. THE JfEXT GOTEB50B. The J0CE5AL will not no)ninitt a candidate for Governor, but ic will occasionally tell what the people say of those who are talked aboat for this position While at Klnston last week we heard several leading citizens express tbe de air to see Judge Walter Clark the candidate of the Democratic party. They want a live, progressive, fear leas man for Governor; one who has ideas of his own and recogaiie the fact that the coon try east of .Goldsboro is a part of the State of yorth Carolina and that the people there are entitled to some considera tion by the chief executive. They believe Judge Clark is such a man and that he ought to be aominated by the Democratic party. Since Mr. Carr, who was prominent lj mentioned in connection with the nomination, has peremptorily de clined to be considered a candidate aad recommends Judge Clark, it is quite likely the Eastern people will begin to centre upon the latter gen tit man. THE RESULT OP HASTY I.EKIM.l TION. Oor Supreme Court is over- nrtl ha ban f K a r,- r, several years, and tho fact became M apparent that the last General ! Assembly passed an act, almost! Without opposition, submitting an amendment to the constitution, to1 be Toted on in the next election. Increasing tne numtxer of associate Justices from two to four. This constantly increasing work for tbe Supreme Court doubtks arises, much of it, from hasty bflis lation, and the additional dep'ora able fact that there are -too many incompetent legislators. The courts are continually called upon C construe laws that are rushed through tbe General Assembly. The work of framing these is en- trusted to committees, anil many ; measures are pxssed simply upon i the recommendation of the commit- .... . . . tee which have them in charge. In ! this way many members of tbe General Assmbly vote for bills 1 that they know nothing about, and ' j f .v , ,. 1 ln doing this they are onlv cutting u uviui j . & oat work for the Supreme Court : and proriding fees for the lawyers. : To be sure we do not legrudge the i feec the lawyer get; the honest lawyer who is devoted to his pro- . , , . . . feSSlOa and labors to preserve the dignity of the same, earns all the . r;. f t, monej h gets OUt Of It.

We Giul ovuK-uee of this hasty and unnecessary legislation in the mhin.rr nnf-Vnr t),., lr ami collection of taxes passed by the last General Assembly which is ai re ad v botore the courts. This act changes tie remedy for excessive taxation from injunctive proceedure to bringing an action for recovery I after the tax has been paid. e 1 question if a dozen members ot the General Assembly, outside the com mittee that formulated and drew andthe'uP Ule rnacinnery an. Knew mai this section was embodied in it. Where is the necessity for such a lw' If a taxpayer can sue the county and recover an excessive tax, why make him pay it! It is true there are instances where the justices and commissioners ot a county feel the necessity of exceed ing the constitutional limit in the levy of taxes in order to meet the current exne ses oi iue cuuui ; auLi - i - - it is also true that then i. always some c;ti.7n who. be:ng actuated by a desire to hamper the county officials rather than reduce ex penses, is ready to apply for an injunction. P.ut t he county officials i , , ..,. ti.ij if a levy within the constitution id not suflicient t he Ge:.t i al Assembly can grant them the power to levy a special tax, or a more sensible way, as Judge Iiynuni expresses ;. is to reduce expenses.

A few evenings ago a number of'. the most prominent citizens of our town met and organized a body known as the "Commonwealth,' with the following officers : W.A. Davis, president: A. Bobbitt, T. I). Crawford and J. C. Horner, vice presidents; J. A. White, treasurer : K, T. White, secretary, with Alex .1. Field assistant. The ho.lv f,,rn, iiir nr.r.niTml an,l a. rnnrifn- tinn ntid hv laws wpr adonred. The object of the organization is to promote the commercial and financial interests or Uxtord, and to make it a more desirable location for residence and business. To this end there were various committees appointed, on securing gas for the town, one on securing electricity, one on water works and one on securing a large hotel, with a view to entertaining summer and winter visitors. One thins is worthv ot comment At the meeting, which represented onlv a small part of the citizens. "J.L-JO was raised to be given as a bonus to a capitalist who will' erect in our town a hotol at a given cost, We can safely say that this amount will bo raise'd to 3,O0(). This is no fleeting fancy, but the earnest purpose of sober, energetic busi ness men, who mean to push to completion what they have under taken. The committees on the above named business are now corres- ponding who, we with noted capitalists, are assured, are wnung and anxious to give us gas, water and electricity, provided the town will do its part, and this we are determined to do. There is also a movement on foot lor leasing the right of hunting on a large tract ot country near Ox ford aud posting it. This is to be thoroughly stocked wkh various kinds of game, and made a bunting ground for Northern and other visitors. The town hall and market house are progressing rapidly, and win v;c withany in the State. Tne tobacco market is in an usually flourishing condition, last week's sales being probably larger than we have ever had in any one week. The prices still continue to satisfy the farmers. The O.

Fodder from GO to 05 and in demand. Trade was lively at Trenton during the past week. Farmers are bringing in their products and our merchants are payiDg them very fair prices. While compe tition among our merchants this fall has drawn trade which has been clone at other places, we are glad to see this and sincerely hope it may keep growing. Several rafts of logs we learn will be started for New Berne during the present week on the Trent river. We are having a real timber boom all along the Trent. Timber carriages are in great de mand; several are having new ones made, while others are content to hire and tbe wnoie talk is timber. . Some are cutting, others are hanl- ing, which is giving considerable employment to all who desire it. We need at Trenton a live, ener getic man who is willing to invest his capital in a good saw mill; we don't mean a picayune establish ment, but one that could saw, plane and manufacture our timber all of the different kinds which could be shipped down our river at all seaspns of the year. Wo are of the opinion that right here in our 1 p.nnntv w a. finp rmpnina for n lit-A energetic saw mill man with capital t0 gtart a good business, as timber is plentiful, of the very best kind : which is now awaifjng for capital ! -"t' ; Now wl)Q wjn be tQe juckv mau tQ start the enterprise and 'reap the ' 1 J'l UUIO As the new year draws near we Luc'11 u'm' wuu UdUBB" i ucw oeuev.ug mat by moving that thev mav eventually better their condition.

Why he may suppose that he has but little and can carry it all in a short time, but how deceived he will be. We think the better way for all who have to rent lands is to look well before you rent once settled, stay right thei e as long as you possibly can and make the best of it you can. We should remember the I old adage '-that three moves are i equal to a fire." Now if this be true have not many of our renters ' inenrrpd henvv losses hv their m;inv : moves, some moving several times ' from and then back again to the same place. Lives or Married omeu. American woman marry too early and live too seciuded. Many are scarcely out of scnool before they have settled down as wives aud housekeepers. The cares of a family are devolving on them before they have the strength and never to perform them. One reason that our female aucestors lasted longer and had better health that their minds were not so was much taxed norttbe nerves so highly strung. They had the full Use ot their powers. Their physical t he lth was better; their constitn tions stronger. Tho.-e that bad much mental activity generally had sufficient physical exertion to counter balance it. Most women know not enough ot the laws that govern health and of the diseases incident to their sex tor her responsible and . agsgtROBs duties! The majority of married woman, with families ol small children, need more relaxation and a greater variety of innocent recreation. Many of them become so chained dowu in body and mind by the mention of household, cares and labor that their health and spirits sink beneath the load, and in appearance, strength and spirits they grow prematurely old. Some housewives suffer much annoyance from bad servants, and some per form drudgery tfor which they are unfitted. The indoor labor per- formed by many American women is astonishing. hat affects the ; body influence the mind. When one is worn and irritated it acts on the other.

The poet Milues bd a mind of penetrating sagacity and brilliant intuition. He was one day told, by a friend, of the grief of a poor laundress, whose little bov had wandered off to a common near London, and there, with another i lad, mounted an old hor.se grazing j mere, ana taKen a ride, only to be arrested lor horse stealing. The j laundress had engaged counsel for ! her son. but was in great doubl an j to the issue of the ease. When the matter was suggested to Milnee. j his fertile mind was at once ready i with and expedient. j "How old itj the boys!" he aked, ! j and was told that they were about I ! 11. ''Then' said he, "tell the laund ress to take care that they both ; appear at thetihd in nice clean pi.tuaiores." The effect was almost magical, , Tbe two llUle boJs ' their nice pianaiores, appeared in the dock, i and smiling gazed around the' court. "What is the meaning of this?"! asked the judge, who bad read tl e deposition, aud now came undtr the spell of tbe pinafores. 1 'A ca.se of horse stealing, mv lord." "Stuff and nonsense!-' said his honor with indignation. "Horse stealing, indeed.' The bovs stole a rule!" Then the pinafores had almost an ovation in eourr, and all who had to ilo withthi-i prosecution were i obliged to sutler Horn the judge's iinligaiit comment. Youth's Com panion.
