" v WASHIaGT03lv, Dec. 30.- Senator Bnt
ler it now doin a ood deal of talkine
for a new .Sepator.' Besides recent
short speeches on finance heretofore, he
took the floor to-dayr after the ; settle
meht of the committee question and de
fended the Populist attitude on organi
zation, not . content', with the formal!
statement of his leader. Senator Allen.
Trne, he began modestly, like a young
theologian la his first sermon, He Said
bei was, 'first, a new Senator; second, a
yonng man. ,:Bnt some things cannot
be allowed to. go ancballenged that had
been- ottered by the Senator from Ten
nessee. (Senator. Harris had unmasked
the ; pretended . neutrality." , of -; the
Populist Senators in a sharp qu?tion
addressed to Allen.) The Senator Har
ris) had takenpeeauar pleasure in char
acterizing the People's ; party as an an
nex to some other party, i The People's
party was not an annex to any other
party. Senator Bitlef then stated that
the Populists knew they held j the bal
ance of power: in the Senate and con
sulted among themselves as to what
was best for them tod They decided
it was best to "Jo use the balance of pow-
t&a to effet8ojae--rifriBoi They be-
lleved in r no bargains, or trades lor
spoils, but resolved - to - co-operate with
any party Against monopolists and gold-bogs..-
They determined- farther to in
vite co-operation on that line. Here he
asked Senator Harris if he did not re
ceive such an invitation. Ho quickly
added, 4,The Senator cannot, stand up
here and brand my party as an annex
to any other party." He read the Popu
list circular to the silver Senators. r ?
As soon as Senator Harris, the dis
tinguished grandson of North Carolina,
who mourns her present political -degeneracy,
could get a chance, be inter
rupted sufficiently to reply: rI did re
ceive a copy of the paper and the only
remark I. care to add is that I ? have,
while devoted to the cause of silver, no
use for parties with one single idea,"
This he snapped out with his "usual em
phasis.' Butler retorted that the Sena
tor had a poor way of showing hia love
for silver. - Here he made a violent ti
rade against the Democrats. ' They had
no ideas. They could not show "just
one." - They had "gone over to the Re
publicans, carpet bag and baggage."
He said -the -People's party had come
into existence to advocate the princi
ples abandoned ' by the Democrats.
Here Senator Harris enquired if the
Senator from North Carolina did not oo-
Lcupy a seat on the floor by virtue of a
co-operation with the- Republican
party. This sharp and searching inter
rogatory of the; venerable Teanesseean
made Butler very angry. He ; repeated
what he had said about Democrats
abandoning their- principles, i He
violently charged -the Democrats of
North Carolina -with trying to count
out their enemies.
"We can beat them in spite - of
their frauds', he exclaimed in
the manner of Mahone's first
speech in the Senate, the one In
reply to Ben Hill. Stung with passion
at Harris prodding, he declared that
the reason the Populist Senators, with
one exception (Kyle), had not voted for
candidates of thejr own was that -it
would -have produced a deadlock of the
Senate and would have been virtually a
vote for the Democrats. Here Harris
might have retorted that the course
adopted: was -virtually voting for the
tRepnblieans. Senator Butter denounced
the Jfresidenv of course, and had much
to say all through about "gold-buga. "
He spoke more -than twenty minutes,
including interruptions. The Repub
licans on the floor and in the galleries
seemed surprised at his being able to
defend himself, and perhaps on that
account were delighted with his re
marks as a whole, which were nearly all
leveled at the Democrats.
After several other Senators had
spoken Senator Harris concluded his
tilt with Butler good homoredly, ' by
observing that it seemed his little ques
tion addressed to the Senator from Ne
braska had provoked the wrath of the
Senator from North Carolina and the
volubility of the Senator from New
Hampshire (Chandler).
On the vote changing the organiza
tion Senator Pritchard was paired.
The next thing will be the organiza
tion of the Senate offices. There are
some clerkships in the secretary's office
worth from $2,000 to $2,100 and under
the sergeant-at-arms there are four mes
sengershipa at SL800 each. Out of these
Senator Pritchard can doubtless j?et
places for one or two of his friends. The
assistant ; door-keeper's place,' lately
filled by Capt. Bassett, pays $2,690.
- Senator Butler to-day presented the
petition of certain citizens of Newbern
in favor of a duty en lumber. n
Representatives Skinner and Pearr
son, only,' of the North Carolinians, and
McLaurin and Stokes, only, .of the
South Carolinians, were at the capitol

Correspondence of the Observer. - ' - J
' Lexisgton, Dec. 30. A larjre number
of the admiring friends of Dr. R. L.
Payne went to the depot to-day through
a drenching rain to see him aad family
take their final departure for their fu
ture home in the city of Norfolk. Va,
Many of those were farmers from the
country, who rode many miles through
mud and rain to bid him a last farewell.
Many were the expressions of regret at
his final leaving.': Sorrow was depicted
upon tbe. faces of all, and grows men
and women - wept like children. AH
the- waiting rooms; and the covering
around the ticket office were - packed,
and somestood out in the rain under
umbrellas 'for hours waiting -for- the
train. ; His friends fairly lifted him and
f am ily and baggage on the train. These
markB of esteem are but partial tokens
of the lov$ and admiration In which he
lrheld'by the good people of - his native
eountyl J i ',-";
t In his departure the ;'town,Tcounty,
Slate, : church and society 'lose a pol
ished, cultured gentlemen,, an erudite
scholar and eminent' physician. As
proof of these facts' the medical profes
sion of tho State has elevated him to
the highest position jrlthin Its gift, by
unanimously-electing- him preeidehVof
the State- Medical Sociely,- a position
he now so ably fills and which was once
or twice filled by bis distinguished fath
er. This loss to the county is a greater
one than It has ever sustained: except
that sustained by : the- death of - his-f
lamented father, .. the . late J)r. R. L.
Payne,; Sr.. !. As a physician he is the
equal of any as a" rnrgeoa he has n;o
superior in the State.- " ;--- -
: Dt. Payne is truly a remarkable man.
As a student at our State University,
one of his class, now a physician, -says
he had no equal in college. As a stu
dent at Jefferson Medical College, Dr
DaOosta, then professor in that college,
said to one of our prominent -citizens
that "Dr. Payne has a brilliant future
before him.. He was one of the bright
est students that ever graduated at Jef
ferson : College." A prominent physM
clan of Virginia told, the writer that be
had met Dr. Payne at one of the medi
cal conventions and he regarded him as
one of the brightest young physicians
he had ever met. - . - i

: BATI1ESHIP TEXAS' tBUt TRIP.
It Is Hot Superior Veaael and Ileeda Many
Changes Report Will Be Out To -Day.
" Wabhtngtok, Deo. 30. The report of
the naval board of inspection on the re
sult of its trip in the battleship Texas
last week, was received at the Navy De
partment to-day and it is said that it
indicates that the Texas has not proved
herself to be a superior vessel. 1 Secre
tary Herbert declined to-day to say any
thing about the contents of the-report,
but to-morrow he will probably give out
a atatement on the subject. It is known,
however, that the report recommends
many; changes. In firing the turret
guns the hydraulio gear for moving the
turrets worked so badly that in one in
stance it took two hours to-discharge
the gun. The bottom of the ship was
also considerably shakyi It was said at
the Department to-day that it was un
likely that the Texas would be placed
out of commission and extensive-repairs
made, t- . .-'. ;--.)' '
The First Train on tna Rovthera Buns to

Raxtugh. N. C, Dec 30 The South
ern Railway to-day ran Ha first through
freight (rain over its new route to Nor
folk via. Greensboro, Raleigh, Selma
and Wilson, operating on the track of
the Atlantic Coast Line between Selma
and Norfolk. It is stated that in ten
days passenger and maiMrains will be
in operation on this route, which em
braces part of the North Carolina Rail
road, part of the Atlantic Coast main
line and all of the Norfolk & Carolina
Railroad. ' -
The Dry Goods Market.
New York. Deo. 30. The week
opens with a decidedly sparse attend
ance of buyers in commission circles
and with resident representatives; of
out-of-town houses handling but little
orders from their principals, business
being thus kept within limited dimen
sions. The orders coming to hand
through the mails have not done much
to relieve the monotony of the situation.
' The general tone of the cotton goods
market is, however, easy, but in woolen
goods there is general steadiness on the
part of the sellers in view of tariff pos
siblities :

- Adjutant General Cameron makes
his annual report to the Governor and
says that despite hostile legislation and
lack of that interest which is inspired
by the prospect of a season of instruc
tion and camp experience, the general
condition of the State Guard has been
one of steady improvement. : He refers
to the action of the last Legislature,
saying that it- was generally hoped and
believed" that its manifest hostility
would result in the speedy disbandment
of the Guard, but the troops stood by
their orders. The troops: are now bet

vice than ever- before. The affairs of
the Guard are well systematized. Twice
during the year at Bath and at. Win
