'.t W. iIMP M B V I i CUAUNCET BLACK Olf JErKEB ; BOW ARD HAMILTOJI. 1 .- .- : HoivChaunctsy M. Black. Lieutenant GoTexoor of PennsylYaalA, and a son of Hunt Jere S. Black, delirered an ad dress lsst Saturday before tke Young Men's Democratic Association of Phil adelphia oa Jeffersonian ideas of gov ernment, as contrasted w ith those of Alexander Hamilton. While ' preat deal that Mr. Black sald'waa true, there are som passages in his address which recall the violent controversies which V raged about the beginning of the cen tury between the two parties then in existence, and which will not meet with universal assent, even among Democrats, at this day. He spoke of Alexander Hamilton as "the West In dian adventurer, who was not Ameri can by tirth, nor aught but aristocratic in senliment aud action. This is the ht ated language of a partisan and not the calm utterance of a political philo sopher, und it smacks of that Know nothingUm which . the Democratic party always alTected to despise. Ham ilton was a native of the West Indies, to be sure, but was a vouth when he made bias horns in this country. His was the most magnificent intellect that ever adorned the public councils of this country1, and, although Mr. Black as serts that Washingtou was the friend and Jefferson the champion of localiza tion of governmental power, while Hamilton was the earliest exponent of centralization, the fact Is that Wash ington's sympathies were altogether with iiamuton, who was the rigut nana 1 or nis aa ministration, -one aiscipie on whose bosom he leaned." He was, it is true, not as enthusiastic in his faith in the capacity of man fur self govern ment aa' his great rival, but it is unjust and a perversion of the truth of history to represent him as an enemy to popu lar institutions, much less as the fouuder' of the school which has cul minated in modern radicalism an as sertion Which certain bob-tailed states men of the present day love to make. There Was no man amjng the founders of the j government who foresaw the ultimate result of their experiment, and it is not yet certain that the very prin ciple oflwhich the most ardent-disciples of Mr. Jefferson are most proud, to-wit, universal, - unrestricted suffrage, may not eventually be the means of a total transformation of the government from what even their great apostle sought to make it."" The Involution' itself was rather a! protest against misgoverument by a King three thousand miles, away, than ' at determination to establish a Democracy, and the language of the Declaration of Independence in Phila delphia, and of. the Mecklenburg Dec claration, 13 months previously , clearly indicates it. .And it may be asserted with confidence that if the fathers of the Republic could have foreseen the actual results of their tssuy, the war for independence would not have been fought at that time. Alexander Ham ilton can no more justly be charged with having originated "personal rule and boasism," us Mr. Black intimates, than Thomas Jefferson can be charged with -originating negro suffrage and woman! suffrage, or any of the other isms of the present day. Expressions like these,' and the assertion that the Federalists tried to do in 1800 what the Badieals did in 1STT Inaugurate a President who had been defeated by a quarter of a million msjority" only -go to show bow lasting and powerful in herited prejudices areola politics If WashinrtoB." aid Hamilton and Jeff ersftq, could all return tolife again. yt IS Jiaeiy tusb were wuuiu uo uiib vt no difference of opinion between them Us to how the 'results of their work cor responded with their original inten tions and ideas in undertaking it: The growth of communsmt and the ever ppracbia conflict between' money and moole-the old .and eteraal war fare which seems inherent in the con stitution of- society would astonish and grieve the one quite as much as the It is time to stop the business of ' at tributing all the good that has aocom panied. the progress of the country to jcgerapn anp a me evu 10 uamutoc.

The new law requires that the board of commissioners in each county, at their session to be held on the first Monday ln April, appoint a Justice of the peace and two discreet freeholders in each township, who are to assess tbe land and -personal property in their township for taxation. These asseesnis are to meet with the board of commis- tloners on the first Monday in May to, consulwao as to secure uniformity in assessing (the1 property in the county. it assessors are to make their return ii sftodilotifciy in C and are lhat,theijit Wm all property at its true market value. This work Is very important. As matters now stand, property in town pays much more than its fair share of taxes, and some counties pay but a small part of what they ought to pay. This is because the assessors put the market value at too low a figure. A residence in town yields no income,bot it baa to pay town tax as well as State and county, and la generally assessed at its full value. In the country generally the valuation Is made at one-half of what it wonld sell for. Taking the State at large we find that there were ln 1880 6.481491 seres of Improved land in the State, whose owners themselves gave in its valua tion to the census takers at $135,783,002. There are about 20.000,000 acres of land not improved, soma) of which is worth as high as tan dollars anj acre most of it five dollars an acre and som only one dollar. Averaging this all at three dollars an acre, we have the value of the unimproved land about t60,000fi0d The value of town property is S20JOCAV 000. The total value of the real property ln the State Is. then, about S213.000.OOO. The valuation on the tax lists is now $105,000,000. If then the property ln the State were all fairly assessed at its market value, the valuation would be twice as much as at present. One con sequence would be that tbe rate of tax ation could be reduced to just half whaLltfs. IrtatosA of tho Stale eojctt in 38-oetita- en the hundred, dollars worth of-property, ft would have tocbl- lect but 14 cents on tbe hundred dollars worth of property. Another conse queoce, and this is1 the most important. Is that property all over the State will bear its just share of the common bur den. In accordance to the provisions of this law, the board of commissioners, at their meeting yesterlsy, appointed the following list takers and assessors for Mecklenburg county: Charlotte township List taker.

Blowa all Over a - jMr. Jake Endy, a citizen of -Cabarrus pieces with a gun. - The suicide was a deliberate one, and Mr. Eudy went abomtU in business: way. His first act 'was to send his wife to the spring for a bucket of water, and while she was away he took down his rifle, one of those old style, eight-feet-long fellows, pot in a big charge of 'powder, . and ffove a bullet borne on top. of it Next He took off his clothes and. lay down across tbe bed. his big toe tied to one end of a string and the trigger of . the tgnn to the other end.

Last week he went to Stanly court to see the lawyer to whom be supposed be bad made the mortgage, and. on finding him. was told that no each tranaeUon had everoeear re between them. . With all the argo menta and explanations tbe lawyer edfld make, be could not satisfy tbe in ta that the supposed mortgage 1 was all' the work of his own. deluded Im agination, and Mr.. Eudy returned to 0hoiM in. a, despondent mood. : He hid evidently made op his mind about at he was going to do, for he had no ner entered his house than be told his wife to take op the backet and go to the spring for water, and as soon as sha had left the house he prepared for the work of self - das traction.. To load his gun, take off his clothes, and lve the fatal kick was. the work of a few man u tea, as Mrs. udy bad not I gone many yards from the bouse, before she heard the muffled report of the gun. It If he opinion of the neighbors that Mr. LJy had xoca erazy. and the details of his suicide would certainly Indicate that their supposition is correct. The deceased was about forty years old. . Carriage Car the Day.' The people of Winston hsve been en joying a good joke at the expense of one of their livery stable men. A day or two before Easter, a gentleman who anticipated an Easter drive with his wife and family engaged a carriage for the day, but when the time came it was so rainy and muddy that ha sent the livery man word - that he would not want jLhm 1 turnout. The livery ! man sent back the word that -it is all right. YouH have to pay tbe bill whether yon take the carriage or not." . On receiv ing this message the stranger sent for the carriage and hsd a couple of ' signs painted after this style: "25 cents for a ride to any part of the city or country. These signs were displayed from the carriage which was driven- about over town. About 11 o'clock tbe livery man weakened and sent word that if tbe carriage; would be . returned to the stable he would qot charge a cent for the time it had . been out, bnt he, re ceived a reply that if he would pay Jtbo coat of the signs the carriage would be sent home. The livery man gladly ac ceded to thlslemand and took his car riage back. The boys say he will not stand much jaw about this business, aad It's safest to throw It at him j from across the street. -. i Ceaeral Tm Tin Z General Tout Thumb is now at the Central Hotel, with his charming little wife formerly Mlse Lavlnla Warren.' together, with each universal favorites as Major; JfiA'NeweD. -whose dextrous and amusing act-on roller skates creates the wildest enthusiasm.

P. church met at 9 20 o'clock y terday morning, and went into a pri vate session for the purpose of criti cising tbe progress of their student of theology, Mr.- W. M. Plaxico, whoso trial exercise had been delivered on Monday. Both the lecture and sermon of Mr. Plaxico. were sustained as speci mens of progress in theology, and be was recommended to be licensed as'a probationer to preach the gospel. The hour of 11 o clock a. m. was appointed. for the ceremony of licensure,., which, when the hour arrived, was duly per formed.' ; " - '' . - ' j I - .The reports of tbe committees on sec tional records, supplies, pastors' . sala ries and finance, were beard, discussed and adopted. Two petition's from new organizations were presented, desiring assistance from the church extension fund; one from the church in this place and the other from the new organiza tion in the village of Lancaster, &T C. At this juncture in the proceedings a paper was presented by Rev. John Hunter, of this county, which he Intro duced in the shape of a resolution, as follows: . - t z. ' That Inasmuch as the lonr and nally blessed custom of the Fathers, in preaching two -sermons during the summer season, has been invaded in these days, and only one sermon sub stituted in their place: and whereas. we believe this practice has a tend en cr to dwarf the services of God's house and cripple the piety and devotions at God's people; tbereiore, - . - - i Retolved, That this Presbytery deems tt to be the duty of -all her ministers. where health will permit, to preach o sermons of reasonable length dur ing the summer days and that this can be done without detracting anvthinr from the- efficiency of our Sabbath schools. ' - - - J This resolution provoked considera ble discussion, which resulted in placing the . whole ' matter in the hand of a committee, whose doty It should be to Investigate and report at the next meet ing of Presbytery. 1 Rev. J. E. Pressiey. D.D. tendered his resignation as stated clerk of the Presbytery, which after many expreea loas of regret on the part of members aa accepted. Rev. J ohn F. Chalmers. of Wlnnsboro. S. C waa elected to fill tbe place made vacant by this resigna tion.. Dr. Pressiey has been the stated clerk of this Presbytery for ten years past and ia .coaaeqneaeB of bis faithful service the following resolution was unanimoualy adopted : . i That the resi nation of the clerk. Rev. J. E. Pressiey, D. D. be accepted and that Revs. W. B. Presslerr W. T. Waller and IX U. Caldwell be appointed committee 1 to eels at aad are at to him a suitable memorial of the Presby tery s appredatlon of his . long , and faithful service. , , , During the dsy a number of, visiting Presbj ten appeared in tbe house and promptly received unanimous Invita tion to sit as consultative members. Among these we noticed Rev. 8. J. M. Eaton, D. D, of Pennsylvania, Rev. A. W. Miller, D. D, and Rev. T. & Brown of this place, and Rer. K. Aldrich. Once during the day Rev. Dr. Miller arose and made a warm expression of the pleasure he felt in having the body holdita meeting., In Charlotte and aaid he hoped it would soon happen again. Rev. Dr. Ross of York county made some forcible , remarks on the Import ance of tbe - people of tbe church ac quainting themselves with the eh arch's history and, highly recommended the new history compiled and written by Rev. Robt. Lsthan. Dl D- of Yorkville. 8.C. To this the author feelingly re sponded and In a few words expressed himself aa deeply grateful for the good wishes of the brethren in .the work be had undertaken and completed in, the interest of the church. This history was completed by the author about one year ago .and la pronounced a complete and elegant - naratiyo 4- eventa that concern and interest every branch of Presbj terianlsm In this country.. The work Is destined to meet with . general favor, as it Is recommended, by pastors land' others who, have read tt to the Presbyterian people at large. ' - i ' After a cordial Vote of thanks by the members to the people of the congrega tion and of this city for their princely hospitality, and a fitting response from the pastor for hfa congregation "aid their friends here, the Presbytery, ivi, motion, adjourned with prayer and tie benediction at ISO p. to meet at Elk Shoals, N.

THE PA ES BYTES Y The Sakaraa' Sea Proaoaaeed Practl- It is some seven y ears since a French engineer began a study or the country south of ; Tunis .and Algiers, with the idea of . ascertaining . whether .it were not feasible to convert that part of the Saharan Desert into a sea.-. The result of - his labors was the ; discovery, of a series of sunken areas whose Level was below thatof Xhe Mediterranean. That thev had once been connected withthat sea was evidenced by the finding of certain sheila of species still found in the Mediterranean, and also by the dis covery of remains of ships of ancient patterns.. Indications : pointed to the theory that there had been an elevation of the bottom of the old sea along a line eoninclding. with the present northern coast af Tunis and Algiers, isolating a large body of water wnielv not being replenished Dy xresn, s applies iroro ma Mediterranean r or.

Doran read a paper upon the iron ores of Virginia, from, which we extract the following: , r. t .. i "It - ia safe to state that the mineral resources of Virginia' are of such a character that. if. properly developed, tney would make. V irginia the , most prosperous .Stale - in the Union. Her iron ore deposits alone with the facils Ueo now possessed within ber borders, for the manufacture of iron and steel, and , for the transportation of the raw and manufactured material,' are not surpassed in any other State. The want of capital, tbe difficulties of transporta tion, and the earlier development of other localities, have hitherto prevents ed any extensive iron mining and manf ufacturing operations in the . State. This condition, however, is no w rapidly changing. Transportation .. facilities are now sufQcient. Since 1810 the miles of railroad in Virginia have increased from L672 to 2,400 miles, an increase of aoout nny per cent, xnis increase has been mainly in. the iron and coal dis- trlcta.. uapitai. too. is seeking, invest ments In these districts, iron and coal mine are being opened andcxtensive furnaces and manufacturing establish? ments with Improved appliances are being located by practical and prudent men. No less than Z&JMOfiOQ have been brought within the state since .1879 by mining and manufacturing enterprises alone. Tbe iron deposit of Southwest Virginia are of auch extent and variet v. and kind and quality. that they axe amnio to meet the demand of tho iron and steel manufacturing ' districts of the country. The great abundance of superior cokeing coal in the vicinity of these deposits must compel the estab lish ment near the mines of : iron fur nace and steel works.. .Where iron can be made . the cheapest, there these in dustries will be established. Of course. it is not to be expected that ' the ereat steel works of -Pennsylvania will rer move - their - enormous and expensive plant to Virginia, bat- there Is every reason why their supply - of Bessemer ores should now be provided here."-' Beappearaaee f the' 8tar ef Ceth le : Tbe reappearance of tbe star of Beth lehem ia predicted by astronomers for this year or the next.
