THE JOURNAL.
THE MST I) IV.
Congress has adjourned and
may cot be inappropriate to
mark that its list days were
re
not flooded with tears on account of its
untimely end.
.
mere were
some
each as the parting of friends who
each as the parting of
woald meet no more until they
reach the shining shore, bat. the
general feeling was that of pleasure
rather than otherwise. Mr. Cleve
land, with an air of relief, tendered
his congratulations to CoDgreee,
and then ordered "Jerry'' to get
ready the boat and tbe gnos, ad
ding with a merry chuckle, "now
for more dead docks bat of a
different variety.' '
Very tew members went oat into
tbe free air feelinp that tbey had
inscribed their names on Fame's
immortal tablet daring the days of
the dying Fifty-third Congress.
Ransom in the Senate and Wilson
in tbe iiouse stood arrayed io tbe
new vestments of purple aad bne
linen, bat tbey were alone in their
glory.
Only two men measurably grew
in jational reputation daring the
existence of the Fifty-third Con
gress, and they alone were crowned
with signal honor on its last day.
Resolutions complimentary to Vice
Pres. Stevenson and Speaker Crisp
were passed by tbe Senate and the
blonse amid rapturous applause.
The V ice Prefcident, in concluding
bis response said : "For the
courtesy uniformly extended me,
xnd for the resolution just adopted,
1 my gratitude cannot be expressed
tn words. 1 would do violence ro
my feelings if 1 failed to express
my thanks to the officers of this
body for the fidelity with which
they have discharged their impor
tant duties and for their assistance
and courtesy to tbe presiding offi
cer. With tbe tall of the gavel tbe
great debates and important leg
islation of the Fifty-third Congress
passes into history
Sneaker Crisp's closing address
is so admirable as to make it an
necessary for as to apologize of
giving in entire. It is as follows
Representatives: 1 know you
will pardon me if, before perform
ing my last official act, I give some
expression t what 1 feel, not only
in regard to the resolution which
yon have jnst- so kindly adopted,
bat in respect to tbe uniform kind
ness, courtesy, and consideration
with which I have been treated by
eveiy member of this body. Per
sons who are unacqaainted with
tbe methods of procedare here
have bo,: little conception of tbe
trials, tbe troubles, and tbe diffi
culties of legislation in so largo a
body as this. This ia the largest
Congress that ever assembled in
tbe United States, consisting of
35C members, besides tbe dele
gates. These gentlemen are rep
resentative men. They represent
all tbe shades of thought and opin
ion in all parts of tbe grandest
country under the sun. (Ap
plause.) Naturally, and indeed
necessarily, nnder such conditions,
at times there is great strife and
contest upon the floor for tbe main
tenance of the particular views of
individuals and earnest efforts for
tbe consideration of particular
msasnres. The difficulties of tbe
presiding officer ari?e largely from
this, that whereas there are per
haps 14,000 or 15,000 bills intro
duced io a Congress, in the nature
of things bnta small part of them
can have consideration. If all tbe
measures introduced could be con-
aidered and acted upon by the
douse, then the duties of tbe pre
siding officer and of the members
woald be rendered mnch less diffi
cult; bat where only a small por
tion of tbe measares introduced
can be considered, there is neces
sarily a struggle to determine what
those particular measares shall be,
and f.om year to year this difficulty
Increases. The present, occapant
of tbe chair and be feels that in
making this expression be but
echoes tbe experience of every one
of bis predecessors had no con
ception of tbe difficulties incident
to tbe office of Speaker. Tbat he
has been enabled in any measure
to discharge tbe duties of this
office to yonr satisfaction, is most
largely doe to jour kindness, to
yonr consideration, to your con
stant help. We are now about to
go to oar respective homes. This
is tbe third session of this Con
gress. We have been in session
continuously longer, perbap? than
any Congress in tbe history of the
government. We have been sur
rounded by difficulties and trials,
but I am sure I can say not only
for this body in the aggregate, but
for each member of it, tbat how
ever we may have failec; whatever
our shortcomings may be, we have,
acording to our earnest convic
tions, endeavored to do tbat which
was for the best interests of the
whole American people. (Ap
planse.) Again I thank you, aod
wben 1 say that 1 bat feebly ex
press my feelings. Never in my
life, no matter what may be its
fature, can I expect to attain to so
high an office as that which I owe
to your kindness, to your consider
ation, to your partiality. In laying
down tbat office the great
eat ratification tbat could be
afforded me is tbe evidence in this
resolution tbat I have discharged
tbe duties of tbe place, in some
decree, at least, to tbe satisfaction
' kh gentlemen to whom I owe
t office aod to those gen
tleman on the other side who
have always extended to me tbe
utmost courtesy and Kindness.
And to each and every member of
tbe House, as he is now aboat to
return to his home, I extend my
heartfelt thanks and express the
hope, that he my be reunited with
his family and his friends in peace
and happiness.

NORTH (Alt LINWS UNIVERSITY.
A Stat t- I nt itiit ion and Property The
Hest the St a'e Owns It M U and
Item fiK ll Aid o Wurtliv Sti n
t:i ins If""-
In obedience to the mandate of
the Constitu ion tlie I'niverbity
was ebtabli bed one bamlred years
ago. Ir. is not a separate isolated
institution, hut oelongs to tbe
State system of pnblic institutions,
and is as fully the property of tbe
State as the as loins, tbe Penitui
tiary, the Agricultural, the Mech
anical College, the Capital or tbe
Supreme Court building. Like
other State institution it should bo
guarded, supported and properly
managed.
Relying npon tbe promise of tbe
Srate to maintain and guard the
University, various citizens have
from time lo time given land-,
buildings, money and appratu,
in trust to be ued forever for tie
purposes of a University. The
State has accepted tbe trust, at d
is bound in honor to fulfill it. The
property can never be used for
other purposes. It inclades GOO
acres of land, 14 bailding, a
library of 40,000 books, valuable
scientific apparatus and about
ninety thousand dollars cf invested
funds. Its total valuation is about
half a million dollars. Liberal
support of tbe University will
attract generous endowment, but
scant support will both repel phil
anthropy and ctifck it groth.
Harvard University rtceived
support from tbe State of Mas
sachusetts tor 209 years, until it
attracted a large endowment fand,
and needed no lorther aid. lc now
bas an income larger than tbe
State of North Carolina, and gives
away -fTO.OOO annually to poor
bovs.
It bas added nearly 51)0,000 to
the educational weakb of tbe S ate
by attracting donations of lands,
buildings, books, apparatus and
money. It keeps at least 200 youog
men from annually going to other
States for an education, tbus sav
ing to North Caiolina aboat $100
000 each year.
Daring tbe suspension of tab
lTniversity, soon after tbe war, the
Universitv of Virginia, Princeton,
Cornell, Yale and Harva.d were
crowded with NoUh Carolina boys
The proper expansion of the
University will keep these alio at
borne.
Tbe State should aim to furnish
within its own borders complete
educational advantage for all its
citizens.
If the University continues to
grow, it will soon attract to jts
walls hundreds of young men 1' om
other States, thus bringing into
tbe State anoually several hundred
thousand dollars. By attracting
students from elsewere Harvard
University brings into Massachu
setts at least two million dollars a
year.
During the past two years it
has loaned $3.849 25 from tbe
Deems Fand, hereby aiding 55
needy students.
Daring tbe past 20 years it has
aided about 800 needy young men
by loans or scbol irshtps.
It ia now giving free tution to
12G8tudents, who could not other
wise be educated. Of these forty
two are preparing to teach.
Full one third of the students io
tbe University are aided by loans,
scholarships or labor, and over one
third are snpporting themselves
by money which they themselves
have earned or have been forced
to borrow. The spirit of self-help
is so strong ac tbe University tbat
thirty-three students, even while
portaing their studies, are at tbe
same time snpporting themselves
wholly or in part by labor. They
manage boarding claps, set type,
work in laboratories, serve as sten
ographers and type-writers, sell
books and clothing, give private in
struction to other students, teach
olasses in the village, clerk in tbe
stores and do many other kinds of
work. The following brief state
ments, prepared by tbe young men
themselves, will give ac idea of the
spirit of saonomy tbat prevails at
tbe University, as wel as the spirit
of self-reliance that enables so many
poor boys to get a University eda
cation. It is not exaggeration to
say that the University by its loan
lands, scholarships and opporta
nifies for labor makes it possible
for any worthy boy, however poor,
to obtain in $orth Carolina as
good an edncation as rich boys ob
tain elsewhere.

London, March fi. The Tokio
correspondent of the Central
News says: A dispatch from
General Noduz. dated at Hai
Cheng, yesterday gives this in
formation: As arranged, the
army attacked New Chuang yes
terday. The fighting began at lo
o'clock in the morning. Both
divisions had entered tbe city by
noon. Part of the enemy had fled
to Yieng Kingo, but the greater
part still occupied the houses and
streets and obstinately resisted
tbe Japanese troops. The street
fighting was desperate, but the
Japanese won their way grad
uatly, street by street, until by
11 o'clock in tlie evening they
had completely routed the
enemy.
The Chinese left behind 1,880
killed and wounded, G00 prison
ers, IS guns and great quantites
of rifles, ammunition, banners
and provisions. The Japanese
loss was somewhat above 20u

at a modicum ot the expense re
quired lor the same purpose in the
mother country. The will freedom
of nature, the exhaastlug beamy
of the country, tbe necessity for
action and KeU' susteuance soon
developed a distinctive race of
men, hardy, virtuous ( as compared
with people iu tbe old country), and
intellectual.
Ttie people were not Americm
but Virginiaus. No censure
attaches to them on tb is account,
fribeir commonwealth embraced
anunlimittd extent of territory in
the wes', and us name might have
descended to a I this country, bad
not circumstances ordered ir other

retarded by ttie mutual jealousies
and local pride natural resu t-j of
long setlusioti and diveisiues ot
interest. Had seltisbricss prevail
ed, tbe cause of freedom would
have been bope'eely los'; but
tbre were men whose intellectual
horizju was not bounded by state
lines ami local inteiests, and une
ol them was the sut j ct of this
sketch.
Horn io Albemarle county in

Mary Cillrge, and afttrwaid de
voted himstll to tlie law. Il, is a
notereiby fact that nearly all
our pres dents have been college
men and lawyers. No matter what
may be a man's natural ab lilies,
and in the college or nniversi;y,
be Buds tbe means of sncb devel
opment. Nor does this preclude
his being a self-made man. Kvery
man is a uelf-made man who makes
any thing ol himself, let his oppor
tunities, be what they may. Much
has been said ii disparagement of
the legal profession, ytt: to be
serious, it bas no doubt been well
lor our country that so many of onr
presidents have been lawyers.
Called upon to execute the highest
Ian of the land, they should be
well versed in the science.
Being elected to the Virginia
house of Burgesses at the age ol
2(, Jefferson took an active part
in the agitation ugainst Great
Britain. Matters were rapidly
drawing to a crisis, and it was not
loug until the time seemed ripe
for Reparation, He was sent as a
delegate to the Continental Con
gress which met at Philadelphia io
1774. Two years afterwards, as a
member of the same lodge, he
diew up the writing called the
Declaration of Independence,
being issued by Adams, iranklin,
Sherman aud Livingston, Tc
him individually has always been
ascribed the woik. This document
attracted tbe attention ot tbe
world. Kings and tyrants heard
tbe reverberation of its words with
fear and trembling; and well tbey
might, for terrible was tbe havoc
its principles wroagbt to tbem and
their thrones within a few brief
years. Philosophers, statesmen and
common people haed its appear
anoe as tne naroinger ot a new era
in human affairs.
JJuring the war, be was governor
of this state, a responsible position
in stormy times.
Sent as minister to France in
1784, he demonstrated the fitness
of tbe appointment by bis elegance
of manners, his solid abilities and
his successful pleading for an
alliance with that country. Demo
crat as he was, with tbe simplest
of tastes and manners, he never
thelesa knew how to "stand before
kings," and acquitted himself like
an accomplished courtier. It was
well for this country that she bad
men ot sucn elegance and aoiiity to
represent her abroad and sustain
her dignity iu the eyes of the
world. The thought is one sortby
of serious and practioal attention,
for if our peopie even bend to
Congress or iheir state legislatures
ignorant and boorish men, they
will eventually bring disgrace
upon themselves.
Jefferson returned from bis
honorable post to take the most
important position in the cabinet
of Washington , that ol Secretary
of Stae. It is pleasant to read of
the Republican Jefferson being thus
honored in the cabinet of Wash
ingtou, the Federalist. It speaks
of a time when abilities and fitness
were considered iu prelerenOf to
pr-y.
Washington and Jefferson were
Virginians, but tbey differed on
important matters of policy. Had
Washingtou been so disposed, it is
not likely that be could have
braved public op nion and a grow
mg sentiment in tho country, by
excluding men of the other
party from hiscabinet; and it would
have been well had it con
tinned tbe custom till today to thus
give a representation to tbe
minority. History does not reveal
tbe fact tbac there was any un
pleasant feeling in tbe cabinet of
tbe first president, on account ol
dissimilarity of view.. Toe Father
of this country held the position of
president as long as he desired the
honor; but be held it through bis
merits as a man, and not because
of the popularity of his iewa.
The do fine t stateB rights,
advocated by J fferso.i and others,
was advancing in favor with the
people, and JeftY-rsoo gave Adams
a close raoe for the presidency, at
the close of Washington's first
term. The vote be received en
titled hm to the second place, and
for four yeara he was vioetpreeiT
dent. Being placed in nomination
again in 1SU0, he and Aaron Burr
each received 7-5 electoral votes,
wh e Adams bad but 05. The
election being thrown into the
Eloaso of Representatives, the
choice for president fell upon
Jefferson, and the vice-president
upon Burr.
For eight years, Jefferson held
tbe position, retiring in 1801),
having given a period of 20 years
to the service of tbe government,
and having been in public life for
at least 10 years. His admin
istration marked the beginning of
40 years of uninterrupted Demo
oratio supremacy. With bis term
of office, began a new era in the
history of the government. He
was inaugurated at the new capital
of Washington. Discarding the
etiquette and formality to
which his predecessors had ad
hered, he lived and administered!
the duties of his office in rigid,'
LVmocratio style. Few removals j
from office were made by him.'
Nepotism was thoroughly eon-!
demned by him, be refusing to j
favor any of bis relatives by ap- '
pointments to office. During his ad-
ministration, he negotiated for tbe
ourchase of the immense territory i
,0f Louisiana, by which he doubled j
the area of tbe country, obviated:
the danger of future troutle with'
France and England and secured j
for tbe U. S. the great Mississippi :
river with its important city of I
New Orleans. He also sent L9wis
and Clark to explore the Pacific
coast .
Retiring to his estate of Monti
cello, at the age of (, be spent
the remaining seventeen years of
bis life as actively as those pre
creding. fjis great( st work during
this period was tbe founding ot tbe
UriiverMty of Va. At tie begin
ning ot tb? constitutional period,
be had secured tbe adoption of tbe
decimal system of Federal money.
This was an invaluable service
to tbe count rj , and it is ama:ter
of regret thac tbe metrical system
in its entirety was not introduced.
So much needless and difficult
calculation in all tbe transactions
of business would bave been saved.
It wa a maxim ot Jefferson that
tbewoili is governed too muci
therefore be be.ieved in as lull
I reedom as possible.
He was a edave holder, bat de
precated the e i's of slaver- , aad
advocated emanapi ition.
ft has been charged that be was
an in tide). Certain'y he syro
pat'iizd much with the French
Revolutionists, bat the concluding
paragraph of the Declarai ion ol
Independence is proof that be
believed iu God and trusted in
him. One of tbe acta of his hie,
in which betook the greatest pride,
was Ihe securing of religious
freedom lor Virginia.
His life termina'ed, July 4th
1S2. just 50 years after the
Declaration of Independence. On
the same day bis old colleague and
rival, John Adams passed away.
Providence kiudly permitted them
to enjoy for half a century the
fruits of liberty in the they way
loved so well.
Oa Jefferson's tomb is inscribed,
as directed by himself, these
wordf:
Here was buried Thomas Jeffei
son, author of the Declaration of
Independence, of the Statute of
Va., for religions Freedom, and
Father of tbe University ol Vir
ginia.

Frtd Douglass Character.
Douglass, as was published in
the Northern papers last week,
making a speech sorne time ago
to the negroes, told them that he
considered the negeo race the
superior of the white race.
Douglass wa3 a slandei er of his
best friend Horace Greeley, as
we know and have before report
ed. He was a miscegenationist.
He wras an insurrectionist and
identified with old John Brown
and had to flee the country.
Upon returning when the war
had begun, the first thing the old
bloody minded rascal did was to
try to induce the humane Lin
coln to arm the slaves every
where that they might huteher
the men, women andohildren at
home while the fighting men
were to the front.

Legislature simply disgraced it

blunder. We have contempt for
any man who can justijy such

and conspirator with John
Brovyn in having the throat of
white people cut and refusing
to honor the memory of the peer-le-s
Lee is just one of those acts
without defence or decency.

How to Arrest a Doll, Carbuncle, or
Malignant Pustule.
Dr. Barker writes to the Medi
cal Summary that he has used
the following procedure for sev
eral years with unvarying suc
cess: Take a large hypodermic
syringe, holding say half an
ounce, fitted with a small needle.
Fill it with a 1 to ftnn solution of
mercuric chloride, insert the
needle into one of the peripheral
opening, in case it is a carbuncle,
and wash out the little cavity.
Then direct the needle toward
and into the surrounding indura
tion and force a little of the
solution iqto it. Treat each open
ing and its corresponding perip
heral circumference in the same
manner, caretuily washing out
the necrosed connective and oth
er tissues that have become
separated.
Repeat this daily with tho
solution, gradually reduced to
one-half the originnl strength,
until all induration has disappear
ed and granulations have begun
to appear. If the first injection
be thoroughly performed, the
spread of the carbuncle will be
arrested at once and there will
be no more pain.
Washingjout the little cavities
is painless, but the injection into
the indurated tissues is not free
from pain. The same treatment
is applicable to the little feruncles
that invade the meatus auditori
us externus and the inner surface
of the ala? nasi. Medical and

Good Reasons For Butter. Making.
At a recent farmers' institute in
Michigan a dairyman summed up
the following reasoLS in fa7or of
butter-making:
1. That it is tbe business upon
tbe farm tbat permits the most ab
solute control over conditions ol
production aod distribution of
product, hence tbe most profitable.
2. It is the highest art of farm
ing, because it combines all other
lines and gives greater opportunity
for executive and manufacturing
skill.
3. It is most free from irrespon
sible and destructive competition
by necessity of its character aud by
the personal iqaatiou of Ihe indi
vidual product.
4. It ii a more exact line of pro
duction, permitting gross receipts
to be forecast with greater exact
ness; hence the greater pos-ibdi-ties
of increasing net receipts, either
by lowering expenses or increasing
volume of product.
5 It permits the employment of
labor at tbe season of the year
when farm labor is the oheapest, if
winter dairying is followed.
0. Of all tbe products sold from
the farm butter takes tho least fer
tility and restores tbe greatest i
amount to farm, and it is well
known tbat tbe most fertile sec
tions of the country are where but
ter farming is allowed.
