A UOLLOW flOCKERY. -The appropriations made by thelaat Congress for the fiscal year cow about to commence made , no reduction la anticipation of a consolidation of the internal refenae districts. .They were made on the usual , basis, except that . Raum asked for . oyer a hundred thou sand dollars more than the last appro priation, chieflj for the expenses of his offloe. .The "act to reduce Internal tax atioa and tor other . purposes ; which was also . a tariff act, cut oil the taxes "on capital and. deposits of banks, bank era and national banking associations, except such, taxes as are now due and payable; and oo and after the first day of July,. 1883, the stamp tax on bank - checks, drafts, orders and vouchers. and . the tax on '. matches, perfumery. medicinal .preparations,1' etc. I This re duced the revenue more than one- fourth, but It contained no provision . for the. reduction of expenses. The full force of the. Internal revenue bu reau has been retained up to this time. although It Is proposed to consolidate some of the districts. : The President is said to be in favor of it, and it will, per haps, be done, but as we have hereto fore said, the consolidation when made , will afford oo , relief to the Southern people by ridding them of the system. . wniie it will not he of much conse quence to the country at large as an act of economy. Indeed It Is said that a proposition will be made to supply the places of the collectors who will be consolidated out of office by deputy collectors, the reason assigned being that their assistance will be necessary .to the due execution of the law and the efficiency of the service. If this is done of course the only amount that would be saved by the operation would be the . difference between the salaries of these deputy collectors and the 1 collector! whose places they would take. One thing Is sure, and that is that North Carolina and the other Southern States ' will not be relieved of the swarms of internal revenue officials and employes xiosr engaged In that service. The Be . publicans Intend to make a desperate effort to capture several ! Southern States next year, and'therefoie will not dispense with the services of the' most effective machinery they have for the accomplishment of their purpose. But the Democrats of 'the next Congress may be able to find a remedy for the evil. - They ought to try, at least, and throw the responsibility of a failure to give the people relief on the 8enate and . ine rresuent. The same course, we think, ought to be pursued in regard to a Judicious revision of the tariff. -s--a-------WSSlBsW--B--W-SVfr--BVtWV-HMiB BEUUIOUS TOLERANCE. We are pleased to see that the Uni versity of North Carolina has confer- - red the degree of Doctor of Dirinlty on the Rev. 8. Mendelsohn, Rabbi of the Temple of Israel In Wilmington. The degree was doubtless merited by Dr. . Mendelsohn as a learned diTlne. but eur satisfaction arises altogether from another source. He is the first Isrealite upon whom this distinction has ever been conferred in this State, and we cherish the fact as an honorable ; evi dence of the truly catholic spirit which prevails among our people. Up to the convention of 1830, which chang- . ed the State Constitution for the first time since the Revolution, religious In tolerance was Incorporated into the fundamental law, and no Roman Cath die or Jew could hold office, not being a person "who believed In the truth of thcFrotestant religion." That conven turn abolished the inhibition as to Catholics, and afterwards it was also abolished as to Jews, and complete re- llgiooa liberty was established, and the , fullest recognition has since been given to men of all faiths. This honor conferred on Dc llen- delshon recalls the fact that the bigotry from which we have escaped still prt' ' vails In other States,' not in the way of statuary enactment but in public senti ment, as appears from the following fronva recent Issue of a Western news paper: V V , : , f fr.yvj. . Gen. Ben DeFevre, who represents one of the Democratic .congressional districts of Uhio has been mentioned as a candidate for governor of the State lie is one of the flnest-looklns men an - Congress,' and one of the most popular men in his district, lie servea with " distinction during the war J To one of - his friends, who approached hlm.in.re- rard to the governorship of Ohio he tch - piled: "i-cannot be a candidate for co v - ernor and yon must cot xirge it. I anr - a Catholic, anq no Catholic can-ever be - elected Governor of Ohio. 7. We bellere thai Hon. Frank? Hard; .I who . Is i, well .known throughout the country as a vary able member of Con gress, declined to allow his name to be ',7 used as a candidate for lOoTernor of Ohio fer the same reason which Gen. r L-eFevre gave. And yet about half the Democratic! voters of that State are ' Catholics. .. . ! . THJB TRUE rOIITIM. " -The true and safe position for the Democratic party to take on the tariff ; question the ' position f which every Democratie Congress and every Demo cratic) President has taken while the ' party held. power in this country a po. - aitlon illustrated in every Demoeiatie larux since tne romnaauon or uie gov- em meet, and never repudiated In the legislation of Congress -Is. .that as ' secondary consideration t in. a rerenne -.. tariff the encouragement of, American Industries should not be excluded. We have always contended that the word ; -4 only., as used la; the platform of 1S80. . does exclude the Idea of any. the least. .protection to home Indus tries 'and for ' I ; that reason we hare opposed the use of - the phrase, ; !-..?" f . The difference between "the two par- ties In regard tor the tariff la that the Republicans make protection the main object, while the Democrats make rev enue the casia otject. This, difference - . is wlJs eaocjh.

Wednesday and Thursday of this week, the Twenty Sixth Annual Com mencement of Thomasvlile Female College was held.

After which we all re. tired feeling that President Reinhart and his accomplished come of teachers had done well their part and that their efforts had been largely successful, the young ladies acquitting themselTes witn nonor, irom tne graauaung aown to the nreDaratorv classes. . - This college is in successful operation and wen deserves a share of patronage. it is well equiped ana managed. - ! - C The CivU Service CeBsaaissieau WasUnsjtea OonespoadeafBaIUiaoie Sua. As has been announced, tbe civil ser vice commission is expected to resume Us labors in to is city to-morrow, all three commissioners now being here. several of the departments have wltnln tbe last week or - two returned their papers to persons making application for office, with the information that they should apply to the commission. it is not improbable, however, that few appointments may be yet made in tne departmenta, tnrough iarorl us so or other w ise, Deiore the commission fairly gets to work. A Senator, always sup posed to be of commanding Influence, has for some time been : trying very hard to secure a clerical position for Terr descrying lady, but without avail. In lamenting his want of success to-day. he said that, bad nis client been young and pretty, instead of aged and homely. he was satisned inn place would long sin os have been given her.' and now it was all up, as she could not paaa the civil service examination. The com missioners all express themselves as much gratified with the result or their visits to the large cities and conference with the leading Federal officials, who. they say, e vino d a purpose to co-oper ate nearuiy witn mem. xney reiterate most positively that the political bias of candidates for examination shall not be taken Into the least consideration. and that any examiner who undertakes to make a discrimination on this ac count will be summarily removed from his position. It Is understood that about fifteen thousand places will come under tne operations ox tne commission, and if the law works satisfactorily, the idea or the commission is that Congress will be inddced to enlarge its scope end take in many more omces, A.

Tbe gun is ox Herman maxe,anint and steel, and was manufactured at Pots dam.perbaps within the past fifty years. It weighs 28 pounds, is 0 feet long, and nas a projecting piece or iron, wmcn shows that it is a punt : gun, by which term tne neavy swivei guns used on tne coast in killing geese, docks, &c are known. The diameter of the bore is inch. The gun is fitted with leaf sights and was evidedtly intended to sboot bullets on occasion. It is on exhibition at Julius Lewis &Co.'s. Mr Johnson is so proud of it that he has established bis head quarters in the store and ex hibits the prize to everybody. It is worth seeing.
