MAY; 18, 1887. The receut Seattle . buotf in Raleigh was the most successful yet held, and it has demonstrated that fiue cattle can 1 if raised in Wake county. Cleveland -mid' the adjoining counties are really better adapted to this business than i Wake and' out farmers should learn -lesson on the srjeet from: their breth ren nearer the capital. ! The Lined Courier is the name by which the Lincoln Pre will be known in the future, j The;first number of the paper issued under its new name gives one good reason to 1 believe mat iiin coin county will have a paper entirely worthy f her. tye, in Cleveland, take great interest in Lincoln, because she is our neis-hbor! and because she was the mother of a 'good part of us. We are therefore glad to know that in fo important a matter as her county newspaper she is jlikely to be well . served and we wish the Courier, under its new management every success. The famous Blackwood case has been happily settled at last and peace reigns once more over South Carolina and Georgia. - The alleged forger has been returned to the state from which he was taken, arrested as soon as he crossed the border and, if he has not already' been taken jb&ek to Georgia upon proper 1 requisition papers, he soon will be. To some, this proceeding has appeared to be j useless, but the , conduct of South Carolina was not on ly admirable for the spirit displayed, but was a necessary assertion of a principle which is highly important. Without a thorough observance of the principle involved, the grossest injus tice might often be done and the liber ty of the citizen could frequently be trampled upon.) i Elsewhere in this! paper will be found the full text of jthe decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Go forth vs. the Commissioners of-- Cleve land county et al. . As will be seen, the determination decides nothing as to the rights of any party to the con ( troyjeisy. It declares only that these rights should be tried regularly before a judge and jury of the country. So far from deciding that the contract be tween the county and the company is invalid, the decisision even intimates that even if the election were irregular and sufficiently so to bb void, tire com pany, upon the strength of work done upon the faith; of thej contract, nay recover. There is however no dispo sition in either! Cleveland or Ruther ford county to: avoid !a debt due in justice and equitv. Thk Statesville Ma I is mistaken. We have not taken the job of white- washing all .the fork spots in the reve nue firmament. We IhaveL however, made up our minds to do what we could lo blot them out. We found one black upot there in the persofa of ! the MaiVt friend,- Crawford, and we protested. We are happy to state that he is now out, at least out of North Carolina, and we shall look to Our Tennessee brethren to do their part and, if 'they cannot get him out of the service altogether, force Lira, at least, like Dickens's poor Joe, to "move on.' In the case referred to by the Mail and the Carolinian, the official concerned has defended him self ; but, if hej were jguilty of more heinous offences than, he is charged " with, we could scarcely expect a Re publican judge to displace him. There are a fejr bad - Democrats and these are the , kind that Republicans seem naturally j to take to. I "Birds of a kind." yon know, old boy. . -TnERE is a 'general sentiment, not only in the South, but throughout the country, that the United States Su preme justiceship made vacant by the death of Justice Wood should be filled by a Southern man. In this we con cur, for there is now but one Southern man on the bench, Justice Harlan, ,of Kentucky, and he is5 a Republican. But we "think it still more ; important that a Democrat: and the old school, , not a Democrat of an 'Old Line Whig," ; should be appointed. The complexion of the present bench of the Supreme Court is Almost complete ly federal and the tendency of its de cisions for years has been j towards a greater centralization.! Even if noue of these decisions could be questioned, and aside .from any partisan con sideration, sound legal policy would indicate that in the highest court in the land the other school of ' political thought should bo represented. Hap pily there will be no difficulty in find ing in the South a thorough exponent of the Jeffersonian thejory of govern ment, . S ;! j . . i - i ..mum ! ' .We regret that designing persons inposed upon the simple credulity of the Aurora last week, j One- statement was that the C. C & C. and Georgia nnd Caiolina Midland Railroad Com panies had failed to tome to terms. This was not true. The only step that had been taken was that a committee has been appointed bytha latter com- pany to confer with the former. : The committee is favorable to the consoli dation. Bui 'la worse imposition was the dispatch from Raleigh concerning the railroad bond suits. j This was a gross perversion of the facts,as will be seen from the j text of toe decision. This dispatch; came from a man notoriously unscrupulous and noto riously an enemy of th defendant company and he hat used! the columns of the Aurora and of his own paper for thepurpose of making a vile, base and unwarranted attack uponj the compa ny interested and even upon the- poli tical party to which the Aurora pro fesses allegiance. These things are not creditable to Shelby or to Demo cratic journalism.' We are neighborly and if our e steemed frieml finds' him self in such deep water again and will come to us, we will help ' jhiin out of his difficulties. Our earty journalistic edueationhas not been neglected. l''IU ITMHN NIIIINTHY. It would be difficult to (see how an editor who speaks of "political econo my," when he means parlimentary procedure' and I who oncei felt called upon to resign an office of trust and profit during a legislative investiga tion into his conduct and who has had various and sundry other experiences in the course unpleasant ot; a long, but not honorable, political career could presume to pass upon either the bra"ns Or the political honesty and re sponsibility of '.-mother man, were it not for fact That ignorance and un- scrupulousness iare invariably ac companied by arrogance and do not feel bound by ;the restraints which abler and honest; men acknowledge. So the Raleigh Signal continues its efforts to free its party from the re sponsibility of having, in the last Con gress, obstructed every effort to reduce taxation and, in j trying to; break the force of the argiimentof the Demo cratic press, of 'which it singles out The New Era as the paiticular object of its animadversion, it starts with a falsehood, perverts a statement, avoids one fact and passes over another. It says that the Democratic press hHs wilfully refused to tell the people that the Democrats had a majority in the last House of Representatives. It might as reasonably have complained that the Democratic papers refused to admit that that Congress was in ses sion. The fact was known to all men. But all through the editorial) in The New Era, to which the Sigtial refers, are statements concerning the Demo cratic majority add, in the votes cited, if the editor of .the Signal could add figures, he would have seen a clear statement that the majority who voted were Democrats.! No Democratic paper has stated that the Republican party is responsible for what the Democratic party did, but it is responsible for what itself did and it was its action and that of the assis tant Republicans! under the lead of Randall, which defeated any reduction of taxation. - The Republican party did not vote against the Morrison bill; it voted against the consideration of that bill. Had itj allowed that bill to come before thej committee of the whole, the measure could have been amended so as to embrace any form of tax reduction and to exclude any other form. - But the Signal, forgetting this factor ignorant of it, says that its party twice voted against that motion because it wanted) to reduce the in ternal revenue t&xi Why, then, did-it vote against Mr.. Henderson's! motion to take up a bill to1 effect that very ob ject ! For this motion a majority did vote and they were nearly all Demo crats, but a two-thirds' vote was re quired. Go to, Signal,, the record of your editor is too unsavdry to impeach (the word to you, rauk have a doleful sound) anybody's $onesty, political or otherwise. ! You have a large share of cunning and you are an adept in trick ery; but you have not brains enough to deceive the peoplej The truth of the imatter is, and no honest Democratic paper is afiaid to confess it, though it may regret that it J is true, that the Democratic party s divided upon what jform of tax reduc tion would be besti But the partv is honestly in favor of reduction and the great majority wants tariff reduction. The only hope for tne people is to send to Congress so overwhelming a Demo cratic majority as to make certain this consummation so devoutly to be wish ed. The Republican party has voted against any and everv form of tax re- duction.against even the consideration of relief for the people. SUMMARY Of TlIESKWf. - TUESDAY, MAY 10. !

Washington, May 13th 1SS7. The reunion of the Army of the Cumber land, the American Surgical Associat ion, and the annual convention of hotel proprietors are the most impor tant gatherings of the week in this popular rendezvous of all kinds of na tional interests It was the eighth annual convention ot mine hosts of the American travel ing pnblic, and the primary object of their meetings is to give the proprie tors, managers and clerks of hotels a chance to talk over matters of mutual interest. They all want to know (you know) the best manner of getting rid of dead beats, and about all j kinds of fire escapes and such things. In ad dition to this inter-change of exper ience, information and ideas, a mutual benefit insurance association is carried on, and during the seven years oMts existence the association has paid out to its beneficiaries the sum of $77,371. It is seldom that so manv epicures meet around one table as banqueted together in the large dining saloon of Willard's Hotel on Wednesday night. The banquet was given to the visiting Bonifaces by the local hotel proprie tors, and such a least it was as filled the guests with enthusiasm and prompted them to give the palm to Washington for entertainment. Near ly two hundred proprietors and mana gers, representing the leading cities and the leading hotels in the United States, and a few specially invited guests composed the company.- The tables and the room were profusely decorated with cut flowers and potted plants, and here and there stood im mense specimens of the confectioner's art in fanciful and appropriate designs. The menu was very choice, and the company was a jovial one, hardly need ing the inspiration of the baud, which discoursed popular music from an ad joining room. ;' ' It was nearly eleven o'clock before feasting gave way to oratory." . The President of the United States, was the first toast, proposed by Toast mast er Garrison, the ex president of the as sociation. To this Gen. -Black, tho Commissioner of Pensions, responded in an eloquent strain twenty minutes long. He never once mentioned the name, of any particular president, but he painted a graphic picture, easily re cognizable,, of Lincoln as he remem bered him away back in 1850, when, as a lawyer, he used occasionally to visit the little frontier village in Eastern Illinois, which was Gen. . Black's home. He painted Lincoln m his rustic "simplicity and his homespun suit as an instance that presidents do not-always spring from the arisiocra- cy, and then, enlarging npon the pow er and the greatness of the presiden tial office and pronouncing the presi dent of the United States the" forerot mau in the world; he roused the com pany to enthusiastic applause. j j Yesterday the visitors were taken op a-drive to Soldiers' Home, at noon they had an interview with the Presi dent at the White House, in the after uoon they had a sail to Mount Vernjon, in the evening they were taken to ithje theatres, and today they are having a round ot the public buildings. ( j The chief event of the reunion biere of the Ai my of the Cumberland , was the. unveiling of the statue ot Q&i field, which took place today amid Im posing ceremonies. There was an jnj mense concourse of people at the uui veiliug, and the President and afrs. Cleveland occupied seats on the grand stand, while Mr. Keifer, who oac;? figured here as Speaker of the Housej, you remember, and who for some pnU scrutable reason was chosen oratorl of the day, was there to perform part. (Jen. Sheiidan, the president us of the society of the Army of the Cuau- berland, rode in a carriage in fjhe parade with Gens. Sherman, Buelfaaid Roset rauz, the three surviving ot &6 five commanders who succeeded one another at the head f the Array !of the Cumbeil ind. , . i j Among the busy preparation- lof; the drill is the pyrorama which Wilj be exhibited each night, and wliii-lj wjll represent the n iv.nl battle ail Hampton roads between the MerrimM and Monitor.

V The commissioners have decided to enforce strictly the ordinance which; forbids hogs or cattle being on the street between 9 p. ra. and G a. m. A cattle pound is beiug built for cattle! etc., which may be arrested. The c missioners will also do some good work' in the way of street improvement. They will have at once a stone a-all laid on Main street near Rev. Baylis Justice's new building to prevent the sidewalk caving in ; also the sidewalk to the mineral springs will be improv ed and a stone wall will be built for the same purpose as the one above. They caunot do too much in this line. Messrs. Shotwell and Duffy are still working at thtir lots, which have been laid off andstreets cut. Mr. Steve Smith, of Charlotte, was here and spoke of buying some lots. Mrs. Shot well intends building on one of the lots mentioned, also Mr. T. W. Dixon and several others. Mr. J. F. Arrowood has bought a steam engine to run the planing ma chine, saws, etc., which he uses to- get out and work up lumber for house building. The cottages on which he is at present engaged will be completed in a short time and are fine specimens of work. - About sixteen or eighteen fine mules came here iu answer to an advertise ment last week. Thej- were wanted for railroad work, Mr. W. S. Guthrie is making prepa rations to accommodate a large num ber of summer1 visitors. The healthy climate, fine scenery and mineral springs of this section ate becoming well known and popular among people of all parts of the county-. Mr. Guth rie has ordered a fi rst class pool table for the hotel. It is said that the Carolina Hotel will be renovated and put in good order for summer travelers. The furniture has an ived and beelT put in position in the C. C. & C. depot. It is neat and substantial and the latest thing in depot furniture. The turn ta ble to be used by the same company has also arrived and is almost complet ed. It has such an excellent balance that a man can with one hand turn an engine. The cottages near the depot will have neat fences and outhouses built around them in a short time. Judge L. F. CLurchill tried only three eases last month and has only one on the docket for May. He has bound over nineteen cases to be tried at Charlotte by the United States Court on June 14. About one hundred peo ple will go from this county, as princi pals andwitnesses on these cases aud about fifty on those continued from last court. A select party will go from here in a short time across the mountains by the way of Chimney Rock and Hickory Nut Gap. United States Deputy Marshal M, 0. Dickerson will soon take Timothy Blackwell, colored, before Judge Diek at Greensboro.to be remauded to South Carolina for trial for illicit distilling in that state. The, merchants are thinking of form ing a stock company for the purpose of building a telephone line to each of the depots. It would be a great con venience at a small cost. Tho report that Mrs. Rucker would close her boardiug house here is nn- hue, as she will continue in the busi ness and is making great preparation for the accommodation of a numbejr of people who have engaged beard j for the summer months. j !
