Long ago the Journal said that the Alliance could not become a national party beeaose of the com plex natnre of national affaire. Wa inaiated that the maaa ol Southern Alliance men were Demo orate, and that on great national issues they would follow tbelr con victions and anpport Democratic measures and Democratic) oandi dates. We have not been disappointed In the late election ia North Caro Una the Alliance planted its banner on the perilous line of battle and brought victory to tba Democracy Tbe reveiationa at OoU are no surprise to us. Tbe protest against the Force bill ; tbe rebuke to iu trigae; and tbe refusal of Southern Alliance men to favor tbe forma tion of a third party, reaalted naturally from the material com posing the Alliance. Inexperienced in the conduct ol pablio affairs it was bat reasonable to suppose that the Alliance would ba iound in tbe anpport of meas ures tbat could not be attained by legislation, but the purity of their motives and tba fervor of their patriotism haa never been quea tioned by those who looked fairly at the natnre and constitution of tba order. At Ooala every measure of aationai import, on which tha order a aa called to express as opinion, waa diseased la the moat conservative spirit aad without the slightest taiat of eecttonaliara. It waa found tbaa the platforma of the National Damocracy and of the Natipnal AJllence are on parallel lines, and aa a consequence there waa aot a aingle delegate from the Soath in favor of the formation of a third party, and comparatively few from other . sections of tbe Union. That there ara aome roe as urea ia hick there ia not perfect agree ment of detail is admitted, bat tbeee differences will be speedily adjusted and the Damocracy and tbe Alliance become one homo geneous whole. DKPABTMKNT OF AGRICULTURE. It ia interesting to compare the work done by the Department, with the crude agricultural methods of a few years ago. In order to talk intelligently as to farming, today, one needs to ba quite a scientific maa. He moat havo more than a smattering of chemistry ; he aboald have a fair knowledge of geology and be will be hopeleasly atopid if be ia aot Informed in botany. And bow there ia a department of vege table pathology, and bacolie ex perimenters will emulate Dr. Koch tn the effort to care tbo diseased ef wbeat and cabbages by direct constitutional treatment.' There doea not aeem to be any good reason why tha effort aboald not succeed ; for there is a cloeo analo ry between vegetable and animal Ufa in the important particular of circulation and even of reapiration. What will cure the maa might, with modification a, en re the melon Detroit Free Pre&a. The analogy between vegetable and animal life ia no new discovery. Dr. Henry Drummond in hla great book, "Natural Law in tbe Spirit World," bae traced tbe analogy ; but, long before his day, Dr. Benja min Bush made it the subject of more than one of hia lectures be fore hia medical students. In 1860 a retired Alabama pbyaician a most devot "Busbite" applied the principlea of vegetable pithology to hia orobard and vineyard. : Tha writer recalla one instnnce of remarkable success. A musca dine vine showed eigne of disease. The bark waa hard, the leavea were abed prematurely and the frail dropped from the vine before it ma tared. The doctor made hia diagno- aia and decided apoa "heroic treat ment" of tbe patient. Firat there waa copious bleedings no Baahite ever failed to begin with the lance -i-aad thla waa followed by insert ing into tha Tine, near tha roote,the most draatio .compounds known to the maffWd mtdica. The result waa wonderful. The plant put on new life, grew with remarkable rapidity, and prodaced the largest and moat luscious trait ever seen of that variety. Hundreds visited the vine and partook of tha de licious grape. Perhaps ninety aine in the hundred of anch experiments would have failed, but a single success should stimulate inveatiga tlon. One discovery leads on to another. Each star that aoieace brings to light is sa observatory from which to look far more distant worlds. We trust that the Agricultural Department will go on with ita in vestigationa. A hundred expert menta may result in disappoint nient, but a discovery in science ia worth a life time of labor. Wa are in the vestibule of the temple and cannot tell tbe glories of its inner behiswbo discovers tbe elixii of vegetable life and gives to tbe flower the perfection of beauty and crowns tbe golden grain with sn imperishable diadem. Mr. W T. Dortch, tax collector of Wayne county, waa tbe first to settle hia county tax with tbe State Treasurer inia year, wnien ne oia Monday paying ais.osi.78.

THERK is a deplorable account of the massacre of Christians in China. Tbe Lon Sos Society, after several daya ot festivity, consulted their gods aa to whether it was right to plunder the Christians, and a favorable reply being given, the heathen fell aboard of the Christiana at the Mission House at Long Tuy Tain, and massacred twenty persons. The Mission J House and other structures were barnt, and the corpses thrown Into the river. Much trouble b is en sued. News & Observer. THB Wilmington Staraaje: It is aaid that Senator Quay ia dead agaiaat the Foroe bill and ia active y exerting himself for ita defeat. Thia ahows that while Mr. Quay may ba very crooked in aome things ba can be quite atraigbt in otbera. He will, unleas they decide to shelve it, offer a compromise substitute. p. Jones County Items. Anew millinery store has bet n opened in Trenton. The pork crop in Jones county is much larger than it has been for many years. Many of the farmers above Tren ton complain of the ravages or the cholera among tbelr bogs. Fresh pork is selling at Trenton at 7 oeata per pound, fodder 60 cents per cwt., eggs 17 cents per dozen, seed cotton 2 to 3 cents. Trade brisk and lively. I notioe that many of oar farmers have more corn in their barns than they have had foe many years, after fattening their hogs. A few more yeara of good crops like the preeeat year will make Eastern Carolina farmers the most inde pendent set of people on the Amerioan continent. Tbe commissioners of Jones coun ty have elected Mr. H. 0. Foscae a member of the board of ednoa tion in the place of Mr. Charles C. Green, who has moved to New Berne. Mr. Green was considered by the board and tha whole people of Jones county a very useful, in dustrious and worthy member ol the board, and we mast say tbat we think tbat our commissioners have cboeen a worthy and compe teut gentleman to succeed him. Stonewall Items. Smith's creek baa lately gained tbe reputation of being the greatest place in Pamlico for fox bunting, specially tbe gray sort. The building committee of this place of the Episcopal obureb has contracted with 0. M. Sprnill to build their church in tbia place, and he has commenced opera? tions. I am creditably informed that a party are progressing rapidly put ting up buildings suitable for the parpoae of canning oysters, and when tbe season foroystera ia over to can all kinda of vegetables, at Yandemere. It will be ready in a short while to commence opera tions. The BealCanae. Recent financial experiences in dew York auggeat a change of tbe name of Wall atreet to "Wail" atreet. Why demoralization of ? rail atreet buaineasT Elections T ariff bill T Alliance power 1 These aaay have bad aome effect, but precioua little. The fact ia that tbe volume of all atock, grain, meat and cotton speculation has decreas ed one third daring tbe two years .sat. Why Is this! Hare people oat interest in apecnlation f jta, they never will. The spirit of apecnlation is more general and active now than ever, lint we have ohaaged the farm of specula tion. Instead of going, aa formerly, to a Wall street, a Board of Trade sr to a backet shop, we go to a real estate office and bay a lot in a boo mint- town, or take stock in some land company, whose' Agent lets oa all tn on "the ground floor.77 The millions that went to New York and Chicago for apecolative purposes until of late are now coming South and being invested is real improvements, and for the purchase of property. It is the absence of theae millions that has disturbed Wall street. It Is tbe presence of these millions that is building ap Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and indeed all the 8onth. Thia species or specula tion is far more healthy and pro fl table than tbe Wall street kind. Money in Wall street is like water in a rat bole, never seen again. In real estate it is like bread cast upon the waters It will be gather ed again though in some cases it may be many days hence. There ara always risks, but a deed to a town lot, where the boom has 'busted," is better than a receipt for "margins absorbed.,. In every heart there is something tbat responds to the touch of haaard. The almost unlveraal desire to gamble rests upon this natural fast. It were better that the youth of the land be buyers of real pro. party, though for apecnlation, thau that they go as thousands have gone in tbe past twenty yeara, to ruin, through New York'a Wall atreet and Chicago Board of Trade.

Eastern North Carolina is on the threshold of a very important epoch in tbe development of an indnstry which if surrounded by the proper regulations and pff,Uird, is a!met certain to quickly become a tower of financial Strength for this cectijn, or which if left to move recklees'y without the re straining band of wiao legislation, is doomed after tbe lapse of a brief period pf prosperous activity, to almost certain xlinotion. We refer to the oyster and tyster canning -bubitusa. But few peraoas realize tbe importance of the problem that oonfronts us. It U an inexorjblo law of nature that aoprodiot of iol or water that man deaires in large quantities for bis use 4nd which is easily accessible will con tinue to give an undiminish d supply Unless domesticated or cultivated. The Boble buffalo baa virtually become ex terminated in tbis genoration although ! a few brief years ago immense herds of j them roused at will over our broad western prairies, the sal is fast disap-! pearlng before tha energies directed by a great demand, and at an early day, it the oyster beds are allowed to be de j nuded entirely of their contents when Worked, and no effort made to replace them tbe oyster may soon be expected to become a luxury for tbe tables of tbe rich beyond the reach of people of mod erate means. Prof G. Brown Goode in discussing the exhaustion of oyster bads affirms tbat in tbe case of fixed animals like sponges, mussel-?, clams and oysters, the oolonies or beds may be exterminat ed exactly as a forest of trees may be oat down. He says the oyster beds of Pooomoke sound, Maryland, have been oboked and ruined by tbe rubbish raked oyer them and by the destrustion by etreless dredgors of the ledges suitable for young sprat. Tbe Elizabeth City Economist alludes to the methods pursued in dredging oyitrs in Pamlico sound as a merciless onslaught, and expresses the opinion if j thU destructive course is continued that tbe supply win not noia out nve years, and wants tbe Lagitlature to plainly understand tbe situation. General Bradley T. Johnson says in the Baltimore Sun ''The oystermen and ths packers will now tell you that the Oyster industry has left Baltimore and has moved South. It is located for the present in North Carolina, and thence u u nt uau oi will more in due course to the Mexico." ; Shall we not take warning by tha ex perience of others ant at once take the needful steps, now that we have the oyster indnstry thriving among us. to keen it here by enacting and enforcing laws tbat will prevent the eradication1 Of ths natural beds and lend a fostering hand to tbelr culture?
