Thb general opposition to the proposition to provide ont of tbe itnlred States Treasury for tbe de portion of (be negroes to Africa is not surprising.

It has been reported that there will be a contest between the Uum Club of New Berne and the Gun Club of Wilmington as to which will make the best exhibit of game at the Fair. No town can boast of gamer men or fairer women than Wilmington, and we hope to see them hire in large numbers. But, when it comes to bagging wild game, wc shall see what we shall see.

If there is any other county that wants to enter the lists our gates are wide open and a hearty welcome is as sured. The Republican politicians of Ohio are much alarmed over tbe suggestion that the Democratic Legislature make a new apportion ment of the Congressional districts of the State. Tbe five Democratic districts of Ohio under the present gerrymander gave a Democratic plurality of 22,157 votes, or an average of upward of four thousand to each district. The twelve Re publican districts together gave- a plurality ot 19,945 votes. Knox ville Tribune. IT is evident that the influenza in the Northern section and in tbe Northwest also, is more serious in results than has been generally supposed. In New York hundreds have died from it, and in other cities the mortality has been con siderable. It is proving quite fatal in Chicago. There are many mild cases in Wilmington, but thus far no fatal resalts. Wilmington Mes senger. Let it not be forgotten that "Blocks of Five" Dudley, who is being shielded by the Administra tion, is an intimate friend and neighbor of Harrison's in Indina polia, and was placed on tbe Na tional Republican Committee as the personal representative of Har rison.

At tbe present time, with all the splendid equipments of our rail roads, one of the greatest problems with which tbe railroads are con fronted, is the prevention of acci dents, which are still numerous and often disastrous. It looks now as i if the prevention of accidents wefe 1 an impossibility; but it the inven tions continue to multiply as tbey ! have in tbe recent past, tbe time may come when a person will be as Bafe on a moving railroad car as in his own house.

Fbom the centre of the great grain growing area of tbe West the distance is much less to tbe seabord of the Southern States than to tbe seaboard of the Northern States, ensuring, with a good system of railways, the delivery ot Western farm products at considerably leas cost, at the same time protecting the Western farm products at con siderably less cost, and at the same time protesting the Western ship per from the dictates of monopo lies, which the absence of competi tion made arbitrary and mighty.

Charlotte Chronicle. The reason Republicans tried so' bard to defeat Mr. Brice's election to ths United States Senate is be cause he is bonest, able, and one of the most aggressive men who has entered the political arena in Ohio, for many years. With Brice as a Democratic leader and disaffection in their own ranks there will be trouble in tbe Republican house hold in Ohio. Cleveland Plain Dealer. ''It has come to be well known that Republican politicians are op posed to a World's Fair in Sew York in 1892 because they fear tbe influence of a concourse of the ex hibits of tbe arts and industries oi civilised countries in this Demo cratic metroplis." We sre not so embarrassed. Every body is in favor of the New Berne Fair, and if New Yorkers can't have a Fair of their own they can come down and take part io ourc. QUITS' a sensation was creavd in tbe house of delegates of the general assembly today by the in troduction of resolutions requesting Virginia Representatives and in structing Senators to favor appro priations to encourage negro emi gration to Northern Republican Stales, where they might enjoy political rights they claimed to be deprived of in tbe South. Tbe re solution was appropriately referred. The census of 1890 will show a marked increase of colored popula tion in nearly every Northern State by immigration far greater in per centage than is possible in any Southern State. The problem which confronts him is the problem of adaptation. Tbe more rapidly he adopts the customs, the ad vanced standards of living, ot morals, ef education, which mark the white race, the sooner will come his industrial emancipation. Washington Post. SOME Republican newspapers are calling upon the United States Senate to investigate the election of Mr. Calvin S. Brice. They pre tend to believe that Mr. Brice bribed some members to vote for him. If tbe Senate wishes to in vestigate, let it go ahead, and let it sift matters to the bottom. It will very likely find that Mr. Brice con ducted a clean campaign, and that some of his accusers are controlled by malice, while others presume, simply because be is wealthy, that he bought bis election. Savanah News. IN February our sister town New Bern will hold iti annual Fish and Oyster Fair. Heretofore it has been successful, and the present outlook for another good exhibit is most favorable. It is an unique fair among the fairs of North Caro lina, and specially commends itself to the people of this immediate section. Let oar fishermen and others get ready their products, and send forward in good time their choicest samples. Many can con tribute to make the fair specially attractive, and we hope it will be possible for large numbers to at tend. The Messenger desires to efficiently co-operate in the good work, and it wishes the enterprise Godspeed. Wilmington Messenger. THE MINISTRY OF STJFPIBING. Who hath knowlegede of good auri evil 7 It is not for' man to fathom the lndniteor questionable Eternal. H ither let him bow in contrite spirit and adoring love before "Our Father which art in Heaven." We do not comprehend the mystery of suffering, but we know that a just God presides over human destiny, and in His own time He will make such revelations as in finite wisdom sees best for His children. l,My grace is snffisipnt for thee," is a blessed assurance, and he is most fortunate who be hind a frowning Providence sees a smiling face. Suffering makes all tbe race akin, develops Christ like sympathies, and lifts the soul to a contempla tion of that land on whose blissfal shores no waves of trouble roll, and "all's serene in Heaven I" FARMERS AND THE FAIR. The farmers of this and neighbor ing communities are not so pros perous now as they were in tbe past, but there is abundant room for gratitude, as well as en couragement for the future. The fertility ot our soil is not so impaired that industry cannot re store it, nor is the spirit of our countrymen so broken that it can not rise superior to misfortune. The approaching Fair will give the farmers of East Carolina a splendid opportunity for advancing their high and honorable calling, and wetrnst that they will make the most of it, not only for their own, but also tor the country's good. A premium is offered for the best county exhibit. This ought to, and doubtless will, bring in a large amount of farm products, com prising specimens from every sec tion of East Carolina. It is grati fying to know that several Conn ies have organized with tbe in tention of winning tbe prize, and it is certain that others will do so. True there is comparatively little value in the prize itself, but the reputation oi being the best conn ty in East Carolina will be of in estimable value to the farmers in that county and will have a ten dency to bring to it enterprising settlers, from abroad, of large capital, high sojeial character and commanding influence. What is needtul to us is a ksowl edge abroad of tbe richness and attractiveness of our section of tbe State. New railroads are to be constructed, and witb them will come increased population. No county can do itself a higher service than to win the $50.00 prize offered by the East Carolina Fish, Oyster, G.me and Industrial As SHiiation. THE WORLD'S FAIR OF 1892. It has ben 6tated that there will be no World's Fair on this continent in 1892 because there is not time enough to prepare for it. The supposition that the time is too short wa founded on the idea tbac the contention of rival cities would indefinitely postpone Con gressional action. Mr. Depew. who is the leading advocate for the city of New York as the proper place for the Fair, says that there is time enough for New York to get ready. There is no reason to suppose that Washing ton would require a longer period ot preparation than New York. In deed there are many reasons why the work could be done quicker at Washington than in New York. We trust that there will be no abandonment of the Quadri-Cen-tennial, and we reaffirm our de cided preference for Washington City as the place for holding it. The Fair is, in an important sense, a demonstratian ot tbe three America's republics, and should be held at the Capital and nnder the auspices of America's greatest re public. World's Fairs at great commer cial centers are becoming regular and frequent institutions, and New York, St. Louis, and Chicago can legitimately anticipate having their commercial expositions in the near future and many of them. "Were this grand celebration simply to be a World's Fair, and nothing more, then one of the great commercial cities should and would have inaugurated U; but the de monstration means something in finitely beyond and above this in its scope and ultimate effect. Its chief and lofty purpose is unques tionably to commemorate and em phasize the onward and accelerated march ofrepublicanisra everywhere, and to bold aloft a helping hand and a beacon light to encourage the struggling millions of enslaved humanity throughout the world." This can be safely said that in the future more will be accomp lished for the southern blacks by moral and educational influences than could possibly be gained from United States marshals or Federal bayonets. Chicago Tribune. Me. Fobakee is so thoroughly despised by this time he would not be worth writing about were it not the duty of the State to punish with merciless severity the ere at ures who gain public place by de vious methods. New York World. M'EAKER REED. Congressman Reed was a dis tinguished member of Uia House of Representative. The gentle man froir. Maine wan always lis tened to, and it was very rarely the case that ho did not entertain and enlighten bis bemers. He was a leader who was implicitly trusted aud unhesit;ii ing followers by Re publican Representatives. There may ' e those who believe that Mr. Ree.: - a rising man, but it seems tojus that his elevation to the Speakership has been the occasion of his becoming more notorious, but less distinguished, fie is now being designated as Caisar lieed ; not that he possesses the higher qualities of the great Julius, but because he plays the tyrant in the Capital of a free people. Tbe New York Star of tbe 22d instant says : The fight began last night, when Mr. Bland, challanging a ruling of Speaker Reed's, demanded tellers, and was refused his demand. It was begun again immediately after the reading of the journal and con tinued all day. Mr. Carlisle was in his place as leader of the Demo cratic side, and in his best form. The Republicans were without their recognized leader. Whether Major Mc&inley diners with the Speaker or whether he had the "grip" was not made known, bat throughout the whole debate, which was ex pected on both sides after the de velopments at the adjournment of the night before, Major McK'nley was conspicuously absent. Speaker Reed, contrary to all usage on such occasions, undertook from the chair to lend his party on the floor. It must be said that he did it skill fully and successfully, but an soch a manner that it wili assuredly come back to plague him before the session is ended. Mr. Carlisle was on deck and in splendid form. He took charge of the forces of the minority and led them just up to the point desired, and held them there while the vote was cast. Not a man flinched. Speaker Reed made a strong state ment of the position taken by him seit in tbe matter, virtually assum ing autocratic powers in tbe ab sence of any controlling rules adopted by this Congress. Then came in one of the most curious features of the day. Pending a rising vote on a motion of Mr. Can non, of Illinois, to lay the pending appeal against the ruling of the Speakeron the table, and a demand for the cali ot tbe yeas and nays on that motion Mr. Mills with all the prestige which naturally per tained to the leader of the majority in tbe last House, rose to a point of order, Speaker Reed went on counting. "I make the point of order," Mr. Mills shrieked, ''that we hae no rules, and that there is no such thing as a motion to lay on the table known to general parliamen tary law." Still Speaker Reed went on counting. "I demand a ruling on my point of order," said Mr. Mills, now, naturally, very ranch excited. The Speaker's finger calmly rose and fell an he continued to count the votes. Tbeu, without noticing Mr. Mills in any way, he said: "In the opinion of the Speaker, the yeas and nays are ordered, and the Clerk will call the roll." No such apparent indignity has ever been inflicted upon a leader of the House within memory. It is stated to night that the official re porters heard the Speaker overrule Mr. Mills' point of order, and that the official report will contain a statement to that effect. No one else on the floor or in the galleries seems to have been equally fortu nate. The vote when taken, of course, sustained the Speaker by a party majority, but, as already said, this is only the opening skir mish of the right. There will be no let up until the majority is forced into yielding some rights to the minority.

A srecial to the News-Observer from Louisburg, gives an aecount of a sensatianal mur der in Franklin county, night before last. Raneome Gill, a well-to do far mer, living about three miles from Franklinton, was a juror in oourt and was going home from Louisburg in his buggy late in the evening, when he was mysteriously shot. He was found next day six miles from Louisburg with a bullet-hole through his head. His horse was found unhitched and tied about three hundred yards away. Gill was found lying on his face with his overcoat on and both hands in his pockets. The ball had apparantly been fired from a 82-calibre revolver. Rob bery was evidently not the obiect of the murder, as Gill had soma money on his person wnen round. The affair is en veloped in profound mystery. TERBIBLE SUFFERING. St. Pxrjx, Minn., Jan. 23.

The pas sengers report a terrible experience, three passengers having died during the blockage, and a number of women and children being taken sick and receiving no other attention than that extended by their fellow passengers. AN IMPORTANT CASE. Involving Millions to North Carolina A Question for the Supreme Court to Decide. Argument was begun in the Supreme Court of the United States yesterday in the case of the State of North Caro lina and W. P. Roberts, auditor, appel lants, vs. A. H. Temple. The cases arises out of a suit brought by Temple to compel the State to pay $9,900 worth of special tax bonds issued under an act passed iu 1869, and $5,500 interest money. It involves the right of a citi zen to sue his State and comee up from the circuit of the United States tor the Eastern distriot of North Carolina on a certificate of division. In order to float the bonds the State provided for the levy of a speoial tax to pay interest on them, and a state ment to this effect Was printed on the certificates. Subsequently a law waa enacted repealing the act directing tbe suit levy of a special tax, and the suit is brought on tbe ground that this re pealing act waa unconstitutional aa an impairment of contract. It is contended in behalf of Temple that the Federal courts have jurisdiction to protect a citizen of a State in the rights goafmn teed him by the Federal Constitution from the unconstitutional acta of his State. The State plants firmly on the propo sition that it cannot be sued without its consent, which has not been given. Ex-Solicitor General Phillips and Mr. E. ,L. Andrews argued tbe oaae in be half of Temple, and Mr. R. H. Battle represented the State. Attorney General Davidson, of North Carolina, will speak for 'the State tomorrow. There are several million dollars in volved in the suit, which was to have been argued at the last term, bnt was postponed owing to Judge Matthews' illness, a full bench being desired to hear tbe case, as tbe court is pretty nearly equally divided on the issue raised. Washington Post. Locomotive vs. Storms. A correspondent of the Northwestern Railroad advances some odd theories to account for the frequency and severity of storms in modern times. He gives the figures to prove that there are now over 30,000 locomoties in actual use in tbe United States, besides the hundreds of thousands of stationary engines of all kinds and sizes. From a reund 30,000 of locomotives he estimates as much as 53,000,000,000 cubic yards of vapor each week, over 700,000 cubic yards a day all to be returned as rain "quite eDough,'' he says, "to produce a good rain storm every twenty-four hours." He estimates other engines of all kinds at 180,000, probably a very low estimate, and con cludes that these, with the locomotives, send about 470,000,000,000 yards of vapor into the air every seven days. "Is it not enough, " he asks, "to give us floods of terror?" Hundreds of gas wells sending their poison into the atmospherel millions of cesspools and sewers. Wou;d it be any wonder if some blighting plague would lay waste the land ? Portrait of Edward Graham. The following article, relative to a former and distinguished citizen of New Berne, is taken from the Raleigh News and Observer: "A portrait of Edward Graham, for merly of New Berne, has been added to the gallery of the Supreme Court room, consisting of portraits of men of promi nence who have practised before that tribunal in times past. Mr. Graham was graduated at Prince ton in 1785, and read , law with John Jay, first Chief Justice of the United States. He waa contemporary with Judge Wm. Gaston, John Stanly and other great lights of the New Berne Bar, though an older man than those named. Ha represented the town of New Berne then entitled to separate representation from the county in the Legislature of 1797. Hon. Louis D. Henry, formerly of this oity, was a nephew of Mr. Graham and read law with his uncle. Hon. John H. Bryan, late of Raleigh, and Dr. Francis L. Hawks were also, we think, law students with Mr. Graham. De scendants of Mr. Graham grandchil dren and great-grandchildren still live in Raleigh Mrs. Samuel Ruffin, Mrs. Edward Trapier, Miss Jennie Graham Baker and others. The portrait is a well exeouted oil painting an old family piece and represents a man at onoe of intellect, benevolence and commanding presence. It bears the following inscription: "Edward Graham, of New Berne, died 1833. Presented by his grandson, Edward Graham Daves-" The portrait was prepared for its present position, and will be plaoed by Wm. G. Randall, Esq., artist, of this CltT. Mr. Graham's obituary was wrttten by Judge Gaston and appears in the New Berne Speotator of March 29th, 1838, from which we extract the follow ing: "Mr. Graham's ability was so con spicuous in detecting the frauds which had been committed in our land office that he was appointed by the legislature one of a special commission raised to pursue the investigation in the recess, the labors of which appointment were performed to the great advantage of the State, and tbe high honor of tbe Com missioners.

Sanford Express: The Egypt Coal Company on last Saturday had a fine young mule put down in the shaft and it took the efforts of eight men to per form this task. This mule will likely stay in this dark shaft as long as it lives and that may be a loog time.

Raleigh Call: The exhilarating and fascinating pastime of roller-skating was revived in the city last night at Jo&es' warehouse, where quite a num ber of young ladies and gentlemen as sembled and enlivened that locality with the whirl of tbeir wheels until after ten o'clock. We stated in yes terday's Call that the work done in get ting up the census in this State should be done by North Carolinians. We are glad to know that Mr. Chas. D. Up church, clerk of tbe court of Wake coBnty, is also of our opinion. He re fused yesterday to let the United States census agents have accecs to the books, on the ground that the work Bbould be done by natives and not foreigners. We are pleased to notice also that the au thorities at Washington are also of our opinion, which was shown by a tele gram received yesterday, in reply to Clerk Upchuroh'e refusal. Raleigh News and Observer: The board has appointed Prof. J. H. Weath erly assistant professor of Practical Mechanics at tbe A. & M. College.

All of the Assistant Grand Lecturers are re quested to report to him for examina tion, so as to make the work uniform throughout the jurisdiction. The ne gro exodus now about amounts to a stampede. They all seem to want to go, but one half of them don't know where. A night or two ago a traiu load of over five hundred from Edgecombe passed through, bound for Louisiana. Day be fore yesterday nine other car-loads went through. Others are expected to start in a day or two. Oklahoma for Ike Negroes. A St. Louis special says: Letters re ceived by W. L. Eagleeon, business manager of the Oklahoma Immigration Society in Kansas, say that a large number of negroes in North Carolina are going in wagons this winter to the new Territory. Mr. Eagleeon says there are now about 22,000 negroes in Oklahoma, and that by spring there will be at least 50,000. He thinks they ought to have that country, and says that President Lincoln and the Sapublican narty promised to give it to them. He adds: "We are determined to take it any how, and we will make it one of tbe grandest States in the Union . I favor Col. Morgan's scheme to purchase the Cherokee strip and other lands in the Indian Territory, exclusively for negro settlement. Give us the Blair bill, the Indian Territory and Senator Butler's $5,000,000, and we shall be content. Oklahoma, in my judgment, is the land of promise for the race and -migration the panacea for every ill now affecting the negroes of the South. " Dr. Harmon.
