Congress adjourned on Wednes
day of last week to meet again in
December. It has been the longest
session perhaps in a half centjry.
Its influence will live long and the
oppression heaped upon the country
by its acts is but another turn on
tbe screw against the laboring class
es in favor or the fortunate few.
Tom Reed's record will go down
as a part of American history, and
his memory will bedispiscd by those
who have had the good of the great

It is reported that there will be a
break among the negroes of this
State some time in November to
leave for Alabama, Arkansas, Lou
isiana , Mississippi and perhaps other
places. If they are going, let them
go before contracts are made for the
coming year.
The Raleigh correspondent of the
Richmond l)Lint:h said Oct. 1st :
"Mrs. Alma Avcra has presented to
Trinity College, at Durham, G43
acres of valnable land in Johnston
county, wiih the proceeds of the sale
of which the A vcra-rnemoiial build
ing is to be erected in memory of
her late husband , Willis II- Avera.
Tbln is the fifth building thus given,
and iti it a divinity sehool is to be
established. The oth ;r four btiild
iins given are the muin building,
technological building, science uild
injj, and library."
The custom of passing resolutions
of thank to the Speaker was broken
at t'je adjournment of Congress. No
one of the other side, that is the
Democrats , felt enough respect for
fat Tom to offer the resolutions.
And wull no one did not for if any
Democrat had offered such a resolu
tion be ought to have been replaced
by a better Democrat.
There is a prevailing opinion that
the fights at the Virginia Military
Institute will be discontinued.
Public sentiment is loud against
the custom and the Taliferro-Mc-Connico
fisticuff will be the last of
the kind on the grounds of the in
stitution. If the belligerent toys
want to fight, hereafter they willbayc
to go into the woods to do it.
The sentiment in favor of temper
ance is stronger in this country to-s
day than it ever bos been before.

we have not heard of him. There is
a treat in store for all who shall be

The Caucasian says : uRev. Tom
Dixon's congregation has grown so
large that he cow preaches in As

nue, instead of occupying the pulpit
in 23rd Street liaptist Church. The
New Yorkers like Mr. Dixon and
will, no doubt, soon build him a

large congregations as Dr. Talmage
has in Rrooklyn."
More than sixteen thousand bills
were offered during the sitting of
Congress, as mauy &3 one bill for

There is a charge against Cricat

New York Examiner,
THE
SOUTH.
HER CHEAT PROGRESS.
OI K GROWTH TN TEN TEAKS.
(Richmond Times.)
It tbe old saying that figures
cannot lie be correct, then tbe
material progress which tbe South
has made in the course of the last
ten years, as exhibitcd-iii the figures
winch have recently been compiled,
is altogether tbe most remarkable,
when everything is taken into con
sideration, that has been recorded
m the economic and industrial
history of this country. Regarded
entirely apart from opposing cir
cumstances, this progress has not
been as rapid as that which has
been observed in certain parts of
the Western States, but when all
the adverse influences with which
the South has had to contend are
carefully weighed and their ob
structive effect calmly estimated,
the advancement of th Southern
material interests has been, relative
ly speakiug, much more striking
than the advancement of tbe same
interests in the West in tho same
length ol time.
The South emerged from the
war practically bankrupt. The
institution of slavery, upon which
all estimated values were based,
was destroyed, credits of every
kind had either been swept away
or had declined to the lowest points
lauds had depreciated. Such was,
the situation in which the Southern
people IbQiid themselves when they
faced tho future under the new
order of things produced by tbe
war. Never had a civilized people
been placed in a position so calcu
lated to depress and discourage;
their accumulated wealth had van
ished, their social and political
institutions had been subverted,
their labor system was disorganized.
Until 1380, the progress of the
South in escaping from tbe evil
circumstances which surrounded it.
was comparatively slow, so serious
were the obstacles which had to be
surmounted before any progress
could be made at all, but from 1SS0
to tho present hour the momentum
which the material interests of the
South had acquired previous to the
last decade has carried it foiward
with a rapidity which it is difficult
to tally realize.
In these ten years there has been
an aggregate growth from L'.lGl,-
702.793 to $3,fiS5.2S3. which hnsj
been attended with a reduction li
Southern indebtedness from S20L
O.T).520 to $151,311,534. 'ikese es
timates do not include Delaware,
Maryland, and Missouri. Indepen
dently of these States, the railroad
mileage of the South has increased
from 17,803 miles to 3S,S92,' which
does not cover the mileage now m
process of construction. Several
other significant items of increase
of a like character may be men
tioned such, for instance, as the
growth of the pig-irou production
from S50,13G tons to 1,780,109 tons;
tho growth in value ol the lumber
interest from 10,979,002 to $108,
37S,000, while the number of cotton
mills has doubled, and the number
of looms and spindles has quadrupled.

DIXON, D. D.
X Ii !i In not I'ajinent.
(Scientific American.)
Tho Supreme court of Minnesota
has lately rendered a decision of
much interest to the business com
munity in declaring that bank
checks are not cash, and do not
possess legal value as money uutL
cashed. In other words, tho giving
of a check on a bank is not a pay
ment when passed between debtcr
and creditor, but only becomes so
when the money is received on it.
The Court holds that m accepting
a check from a debtor there is no
legal presumption that tho creditor
takes it in absolute payment, but
only conditionally, or as a written
acknowledgement of the debt,
Where goods are sold for cash on
delivery, and tho purchaser tenders
payment in a check or draft on his
banker, such payment is only con
ditional; and the delivery- of the
goods, if made, is also conditional.
If the check is dishonored on pre
sentation, the seller may retake the
goods for the purchase monev, eyen
from tbe possession of a third or
innocent party, unless it can be
shown that tho seller has been
guilty of such negligence as would
estop him Irom recovering in equity.
This decision is among tbe first
rendered by higher courts that is
so far-reaching, and if supported
by other high tribunal?, will settle
a mooted question in commercial j
circles. The same principle has
been applied to unpaid notes by
one or two courts, which have held
that the seller does not lose his lien,
for purchase money, on goods sold,
until be receives the actual cash,
and may retake at any time prior
thereto if the indebtedness be not
at maturity.

Manv a thrilling tale has been
poid I v travelers of a race with wol-
ves across the frczen etfppea of
Russia. Sometimes only the picked
bones of the hapless traveler are
found to tell the tale. In our own
country thousands are engaged in
a life and-death race against the
wolf Consumption. The host weap
oris with which to fiVht the foe, is
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. This renowned remedy has
cured myriads of cases when all
other medicines and doctors had
failed. It is the greatest blood-purifier
and restorer of strength known
to the world. For all forms of scro
fulous affections (and consumption is
one of them), it is unequaled as a
ieuiedy.
SUCCESS.
SOME SILVER THOUGHTS.
Why some men do not sr ;t:.
(The St. Louis Miller,)
Two of the mot successful men
on the North American continent
were recently asked the question.
One replied, "Ignorance and inca
pacity." The other said that the
prevalent cause is "The number of
youug men who are wanting in
decision and fixity of purpose. If
they get into a good pUee at the
start, they should stick to it, know
ing that by perseverance, industry,
and ability, they win promotion in
due course as vacancies ocenr. Rut
they see or hear of sonic one making
a fortune m Wall Street, or in
mining, and away they go to try
their luck. Wh?n they lose, as
they do in ninety nine cases out of
a hundred, that is the end of them;
they can never settle down to ordi
nary ways of earning a living after
that, and their descent is rapid."
This reason hits the nail squaie on
the head. Go where we will, wo
will find men who commenced life
under the most favorable circum
stances, but who aie such complete
financial wrecks that there is but
little hope for their reformation.
They may be honest and temperate;
they may even possess natural abil
ity of a high order, but lacking in
steadiness of purpose, they will
never succeed. Had they sullicient
will force to stick to one thing, no
matter how disagreeable it might
bo at first, were they content to
advance slowly, they would have
no reason now to talk of the "luck"
of those who have pushed foiward
into the front ianks.
Another cause of poveity is a
lack of self-confidence. Many men
seem to have no faith in themselves,
no independence, no plnk, and no
push. They aro afraid to stand up
and speak for themselves, preferring
to lean on others. They are afraid
to make an investment, because of
the possibility of failure; they are
afraid to tell what they can do, as
they might make an error in doing
it; they are cowards in every sense
of tho word. This is often the
result of early training: A boy,
naturally timid, is kept in tbe back
ground so persistently, and his
mistakes are so severely criticised,
that he grows up into an entirely
useless man. Push aud fixity of
purpose will always bring a measure
of success.

Vigorous and terse phrases that
comprise utbe whole story in a few
words" take a strong hold of the
public fancy, and are long remem-j
bered and quoted. Jackson's "I j
take the responsibility;" David
Crockett's "Be sure you are right
then go ahead;" Clay's "No North!
no Sout nothing but my country,"
and "1 would rather be right than
be president;" Webster's "Where
shall I go?" and "Union and Lib
erty, now and forever, one and
inseparable;" Patrick Henry's "Give
me liberty or give me death;'' John
Adam's "Sink or swim, survive or
perish," and many other lorcible
or odd sayings of our remarkable
men, uttered years ago, are as fresh j
in the memoiies of the people as if;
they had but just been spoken.
