"Tnia is wintry weather and the birth of a Crisp baby at Washing ton is not therefore very extraordi nary. This event will not sus pend the Democratic Mills, but tariff reform gTist will be still ground out. The fact is, that the Republican managers are sadly disappointed to find the new Speaker in entire harmony with Mills on the Issue of revenve re form the Georgian and Texan are hand in hand for the people. " If farther evidence was wanted in support of the propriety of Crisps election it would be found in the raving of the Brooklyn Standard Union. It says: The new Ilouse of Representatives is entittled to praise for its consistency at all points. It is eminently fitting that a body tbe majority of which is composed of bigoted partisans of Brithieh free trade, and largely of servile' An elo-maniacs, should at it first step select an Englishman for its presiding officer. A cwbrxstoxdeT in the News and Observer says: "We have four teen fine oaks on our premises of several varieties.

Mr. Crisp, on reoeiving the nomi nation for Speaker of the House, addressed the Democratic Oancas 1 as follows-: Representatives: Profoundly grateful lor this mark of your con fidence and esteem, I pledge my self here and now to devote what ever of industry and ability I : possess to the advancement of the j real interest of the Democratic party. Applause. I beg to say j to you now, when I speak the first : words to you since I am your selec- j tion for Speaker, that my election means no step backward in tariff reform. Cneere.j I desire to say that there is in our party today no the Administration as of para man who more earnestly believes in mount interest to the public we the-Demoeratic doctrine of tariff present it, in brief, to our readers, reform than I do.

It through which we have passed, is noticable that while the Presi when Representatives are fatigued, dent claims for it invaluable re and when other officers are to be suits, he makes no mention of the I nominated, it does not become me to consume your time, i wisu to, say, however, that during the prog- ress of this canvass I have said no ; word respecting any individual or individuals which would at all just ify him or them in having aDy feeling of unkindness against me. I have felt that it was a friendly sary to the the competition of the struggle. I have lelt that we were I convention." all Democrats, and that whatever , With reference to Brazil, the might be the result of the contest, , President expresses regret at re when this House shall meet and cent political disturbances, but is organize we will stand together as one body, working and laboring for the good of the parfy Loud ap plause.

Next to the organizarion of the House, the Senate became the chief attraction at Washington on the opening of the 52nd Congress. There are eighty-eight Senators, of whom eighteen are new mem bers. Gen. John B. Gordon of Georgia, returns to tho Senate after an ab sence of ten years. There is no more brilliant debater in the Senate than Gen. Gordon, and it is safe to predict he will at once take hia old place among the leaders of that body. One of the youngest members of the Senate ia Horace Chilton, of Texas. He waa appointed by Gov. Hogg to succeed Hon. J. H. Rea gan who resigned last summer. When Mr. Chilton's name was called a Republican Senator rose and said that he made no objection to the Beating of the Senator from Texas, but gave notice that the point would be Bubsequentiy raised that Mr. Chilton was ap pointed before Mr. Reagan's resig nation waa accepted. When the name of Mr. Brice waa called Senator Sherman said he would make no objection to the seating of Mr. Brice, but as a large number of the citizens of Ohio dtd not believe that the gentleman waa a resident of Ohio at the time of his election, he would ask that the qaeation of hia right to a seat in the Senate as a Senator from Ohio be referred to the committee on election. Messrs Call and Davidson are j contestants for a seat as a Senator from Florida. The name of neither is on the roll of the Senate. The indications are that Mr. Call will be seated. Senator Irby, of Sonth Carolina, is said to be tbeyoungeat and hand somest man in the Senate. The credentials of David B. Hill have not been filed, lie has im portant duties that detain him at Albady. When he reaches Wash ington he will be one of the most distinguished metflbers of the Senate. Gen. Palmer, of Illinois, is a conspicious figure on the Demo cratic side of the Chamber. CRISES AND MISDEMEA5ES. Is there an epedemic of crime in North Carolina! It has been said that there ia, bat we do not think so. There have been a number of trials that have attracted general attention, such aa the Mottz trial and the McDougal trial, but they were in no way aaaociated, each arime had its origin in causes es sentially ita own. ' It may be affirmed that in no part of the world is public offenses more con- j demned than in North Carolina, bronght to trial in this State may be the chief reason why public at- tention is to much directed to our criminal annals. ... , ' Misdemeanors are not as pre- 1 valent here a8 in most of the States, and no where is the standard morals niguer than it ia here, When therefore certain papers ci K f-k art inHmafn tn r i- nnnnf a a. it l in lact hardly as well, A trained reside or tabernacle in North Caro- ia . f ' .... , lina it is evidenceof their ignorance1 nurse is still on duty. nen sue of delightful country inhabited 1 drives out she is muffled in furs by a law-biding, refined and Chris- and wraps and her husband's tian people. strong arm is at her back for sup - - . oke wnac a spoiled child . tie's cot no coat, no hat no shea, but we ....... have given him a lump of sugar, and he ia not satisfied.

While it cannot be regarded as a vprv ahlp sttf Tianr. it. nresents a clear and comprehensive view of national affairs. It could not be expected that the President would entirely devest u.imself of party bias. His com mendation of the tariff and his pronunciamento against the free coinage of silver is a tribute to his party which could not be with-; held without offense to his sup porters. Considering the foreign policy of distinguished Secretary of State. w ltn reference to tue beiinug Sea controversy the President savt: l,I am glad to be able to announce that terms satisfactory to this Government have been agreed upon, and that an agreement as to the arbitrators is all that is neces. gratified that the latest informa tion is that constitutional govern ment has been restored without bloodshed. Wo now come to Italy and Chili, and here we follow the text of the Message. the new Orleans lynching. The lynching at New Orleans in March last, of eleven men of Ital- a most deplorable and discredita ble incident. It did not, however, have its origin in any genera! animosity to the Italian people nor in any disrespect to the govern ment of Italy, with which onr rela tions were of the most friendly character. The fury of the mob was directed against these men as the supposed participants or ac cessories in the murder of a city officer. I do not allude to this as mitigating in any degree this of fense against law and humanity, but only aa affecting the internat ional questions which grew out of it. It was at once represented by the Italian Minister that several of these who lives had been taken by the mob were Italian subjects. A demand was made for the punish ment of the participants for an indemnity to the families of those who were killed. It ia regretted that the manner in which these claims were pre sented was not each as to promote a calm discussion of the questions involved, but this may be attri buted to the excitement and indig nation which the crime naturally evoked. The views of this government as to its obligations to foreigners domiciled here were folly stated in the correspondence as well as its purpose to make an investigation of the affair with a view to deter mine whether there were present any circumstances that could under such rules of duty as we had indi cated create obligation on the United States, the temporary ab sence of minister plenpotentiary of Italy at this capital has retarded further correspondence, but it is not doubted that a friendly con clusion is attainable. Some suggestions growing out of this unhappy incident are worthy the attention of Congress. It would, I believe, be entirely com petent for Congress to make offen ses against the treaty rights of oreigner8 domiciled in the United States cognizable in the Federal Courts. Thia has not, however, been done and the Federal officers and courts have no power in such cases to intervene, either for the protection of a foreign citizen or for the punishment ol his slayers. It seems to me, to follow In. this state of the law, that the officers of this State charged with police and judicial powers in such cases must, in the consideration of inter-national questions, growing out of such incidents, be regarded in Buch sense as Federal agents aa to make this Government answerable if the United States had used its consti tutional power to define and punish crimes' against treaty rights. RELATIONS WITH CHILI. The President goes on to review i the history of the government's re lation with Chili during the recent civil war in that country . Says he. No official complaint of the con i ,it f rnr Minister nr of our Naval officers during the struggle has I been presented to this government, and it is a matter of regret that so many of our own people Bhould have given ear to unofficial charges and complaints that manifestly had their origin in rival interests and in a wish to prevent the relations of the United States with Chili. lie calls the attention of the Conerees to the killing of the Balti- mr.' sailors in Yalporaiso, and states that if CWli does i aot make atuPle reparation, that he will soon address the Congress again on the ! subject.

Sam Slociim at the Gymnasium -II is Opinion of Concrete Sidewalks - A j Wild Hunt on the Truck Farms. ' Mr Editor: -Th other evening I i dr0PPed into the rooms of the Young i Men'8 Christian Association to reet my- ! 8elr' 1 was surprised to And them so self. I epacious and comfortable. They are a great comfort to strangers about town, like me, and there ia no footing to pay j unIe89 Ju 8 in to stay for a month ; j JI cracKer8 a"C oneese are extra. Ihe i 8entlemanly usher inyited me to take a bath and make myself at home. There were. three or four Christiana at work i nuBU,D mes on om a piatrorm, and as I did not care to interrupt the work, I meandered off to the gymnasium, and was just on the point of trying the double trapeze act backwards, when one of them came over to where I was, and invited me to take a hand in what he called a Game of Compromise. "What is that ?" I asked. He waived his hand suggestively toward a small billiard tatle in the left centre of the room, en which were balls and cues, and a lot of little stubs set up, croquet fashion, all over the green field. When I had taken in the lay-out thoroughly, I said: 'Why that's bil liards! You will excuse me," I protested, but "billiards is a game I never play." "No more do we,"heBaid. This is the way we get around it. There is always a vile odor to tbe name of bil liards which savors of the saloon; but the exercise is good, and so by thia little compromise you see, we get all the benefit of the game without the invi dicusness of tbe name." I was much pleased with this little subterfuge, but I thought, as I left tbe apartment and strode down the broad stair case, that Shakespeare was right when he said that "concience makes diplomats of us all," or words to that effeot. Verily, custom gives sanction to the schemes of the faithful. When I had sufficiently revived by the fresh air in the street I made a cold break for the new conorete sidewalk on the north side of Pollock Btreet looking toward the river. It appeared so smooth and restful to the feet that I thonght I would give it a praotical test, and I did, I tell you. Mr. Editor, that sidewalk double discounts all the side walks I ever saw, artificial stone, as phalt, brick or natural flag 1 Several times I strode majestically to and fro along the axis of ita broad extent, con templating its delightful length, and wondering when all the sidewalks in the city of Newborn would be like this one, and I had just completed my seventh heel-and-toe lap in tbe last ap proved go-as-you-please form, when I descried a venerable member of the Cotton Exchange approaching me in due and ancient form. I knew he was a member of the Cotton Exchange be cause he had flakes all over his clothes, and looked like he had just been picked the first time. "Howdy !" says he. "Thanks I" I remarked; I don't care if I do." For one painful instant he eyed me askanoe, but he didn't wink, and I saw the game was off J Excuse me, sir," he said. "May I ask if you are a private watchman on these premises, or are you an inspector n' ttreets and pumps ?" 1 wonder if he means a joke (' 1 said to myself casting a hasty glanoe at my new patent leathers. But when I bad scrutinized the vogue expression on hia countenance, I found him inno cent. So I courtly remarked, as my eye swept the comminuted shell rock pave ment, that I "had merely been study ing a select passage from bheliy." The effect of the shock upon him was instantaneous, but before he bad a chance to lose his presenoe of mi ad I inquired if he knew of any good bird shooting in the vicinity of Newborn. He said he reokoned there was "right smart." Then I mention that I was fond of shooting, and would like to start a collection for a museum of Na tural History in Newborn, and would be obliged to him for any assistance he might be disposed to render. This kinder waked him up and he gave ton gue at onoe. He said he remembered forty seven years ago, of treeing a bear up at the Five Corners, near the site of Messrs. Rsizenstetn, Dunn's new pa riols addition, and also of lining a bee right into a grocery store on Middle street. Of course it was somewnat different today, and the suburbs had moved farther out. But only as recent ly as the year 1882, he had flushed two coons and a water mocoasin ngnt on the edge of Hackburn & Willett's truck farm, and he reckoned there was a right smart chance of game there now, though he wouldn't be sure. Peas and beans, and the like of that he said, was likely to attract partridges and hares. I asked if he referred to human beins. when he spoke of the "like of that," and he curled right up. A sniff of acromatlc smelling salts brought him too, and be continued to say that, if I would go out to those truck farms ana give eaon or tne nanas two uonars apiece, he would guarantee that no one would interfere with my bunting over the place, if the gun didn't scatter too much. Well. fcir. I did as I was directed. and started out one morning early, and got to work. I worked iudustriously, as a beaver. I quartered every truck farm, and every no-truck farm, within four miles of Newbern, ana never stirred a feather I Once I started an old hare in the open, and he made for the woods on the jump; and he never stopped until be got to the timber. suppose I had that hare in sight for a minute and a half. He was what you might call a gaited hare. I was so in terested in studying his paces that I forgot to shoot. I wanted to enter him for a quarter race. Finally, my dog got his nose on a scent and trailed it right up to our old colored man seated on a log in the sorub eating his lunch. The nimbus offered to divide, but I told him I had a snack of my own, and I asked him: "Uncle ! Can you tell me if any par tridges are using about the fields here ?" "Reckon dar is." "Where do you find them ?" "Find dem anywhere. Find dem along the edges of the woods, in the fields, among the pea vines, in the ditches, and everywhere." "That is all right; but could 'nt yeu put me on to a covey of birds ? a bunch of birds V" "Well not exaotly now, boss, but there was a heap of gangs about here lest summer." "You work here, uncle ?" "Yes; I work right heah." "Very well, now I'll tell you what I will do. I will give you a dollar and a half to put me on to a gang of birds. " He hesitated a moment; then he gathered himself up, saying that be would step over into the next field and ask a man there who he reckoned could tell better than he could; and that is tbe last I saw of him. r.v)cky I didn't pay him in ad vance !
