NEW BERNE, K. . t C. JAN. 8. 1883. entered at tbe Post office at New It? rue, N C as seeond-elass matter. , THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK. We are at the commencement of a new year, and every progressive citizen throughout the South is interested in reviving the records of the "nasfc and forecastiusr the prospects of the future. The Chat ts&oog Tradesman, the best indus ) trial journal of the South, especially ' devoted to manufacturing, mining, mercantile and industrial pursuits, presents, in connection with its isstiA fif Tiaofrihni a. purAfullr ' prepared statement of tbe business outlook of the South, with such , ! indications as are available for the '. year 1883. An abstract may be . thus presented: . The matured crop of cotton is set down at 6,750,000 bales. In quality it is much superior to the crop of ' last year, through the return to the producers is not considered much ! greater. Considerable picking is yet to be done. T , The grain crop of the South, for ' (f' A.t A i- 1x' enough to render this section wholly independent of outside supplies. ' Indeed, com and wheat are being snipped to eastern markets ixom JventucKV, Tennessee. Virginia ana ; North Carolina, while Alabama, Arkansas and Texas have made - grain enough to supply the entire South and have a reserve for ship- went.- ' In tbe lumber trade the South was never belore as prosperous as " 1 at' nresent. and our timber lands nave so advanced in popular ap- ... . 1.1 i . i-j. thereof are being taken np and are about to be developed by Northern .' capital and skill. The manufacturing interests of .'.,, the L section are healthfully and rapidly advancing. Especially is .this the case with regard to iron ; mills, ' cotton mills, furniture fac tories and the minor industrial ; activities, so essential to the gen era! prosperity., Among the new enterprises it is stated that a coni- ' vvpany has been: organized in Chat 4. a e. t,i of putting ont tone hundred tons of pig iron daily; that two large cotton mill have just been finished in ,1 New Orleans, and that one has ; ; been recently set in motion at " Charleston. S. C, at a cost of ;., '4 500,000. . " 1 . Touching loou products, it, is asserted that the South has, during the past season, demonstrated its . ability to produce its own pork, Deei, oreau ana iruic, ana aiso i. , , fifnjshekv considerable surplus for export." "It tnia connection the fact ii fcqted hat Tennessee now' sup , plies thousands of lambs, poultry and other fine meats and fruits to the consumers' of " Chicago and ' Cincinnati.'! . : ' In railway extension the South never before advanced so rapidly, and most of the roads now in pro cess ! of construction will be com rkted next summer. Indeed the fjouth has advanced more rapidly VM year than during any previous twelve nonths in its history. As to expositions there are now on I' 1 1 ovements to hold a splendid ,liion of Southern products at I v villa in the fall of 1883j one at vi"e in the Eame year; one at ' :ra, and that of the grand V ' zrA:l Cotton Planters' Asso i a year later. ' : 'j rrrord is certainly encourag i j !.r. 1 tLa ccllook at this writing i i i 'l V. t can reasonably be de Late i.' .turu. y i. Lt, wl. i tl e stores end stretts of WasLi ta were throEjred with purdias .rs of holiday roods, a brilliant li ht was seen in the dome ot the Capital indicating that Congress was hold ing a night-session. The Senate waa sitting up with the civil service bill, and it held its vigils until near ly midnight. The bill has since passed the Senate; but the prospect ior really practical and relormative civil service legislation is not good. he evil is great, but the country is greater, and one goes his way to his farm, and another to his mer chandise, while a third asks: who is civil service and what does he want with reform? , The question stated ery briefly and as conscientiously as if your correspondent were under oath is this: The United States Government has in its employ about 100,000 clerks, half of whom, more or less, are supernumeraries for the reason that they have no ne cessary work to do. They all, it is true, make some pretence to work, out a critical exammatiuu oi lueir apparent, employment will reveal that their so-called work has been invented for them. Their occupa tion is worse than useless to the goverment for , they spoil paper, waste ink, and wear out the bot toms of goverdment chairs. Ihave known about fifteen pages ot copy ing, in a miserable scrawl of a hand, to cost the government sixty dollars. The government did not waut the copying; besules the money paia there was a waste of ink and paper; but an influential woman asked an nfluential official for employment, and he, kind man, gave her copy ing at sixty dollars per month.- No government iu the s world is supplied with such' numerous and spacious and luxurious omces as is the United States. Those who have travelled with their eyes open will bear me out in this statement., But notwithstanding the number and space of the offices, they ar$ ro overcrowded with the sinecures I have mentioned that U. S. Govern ment has continually to rent pri vat e property for office-room. . . As might be expected from such a condition of things, the govern ment offices are always behind with their work. Such a thing, as business-like promptness is not known anywhere, Circumlocution and illimitable red tape is the rule in all government omces to such an extent that business cannot be transacted except by attorneys skib ed in their devious ways. It it were not for red tape and labyrin thine methods the thousands of supernumeraries would have even ess semblance ot something to do than they now have. : ! I will give you an example; there is a weekly publication printed for the Patent Office, as many as 1,000 copies, perhaps, are bought directly lrom the oihee; price ten cents each. You would suppose, in the simplici ty ot your Heart, that you coma pre sent a dime to boy hired for about 5, per week, and have your publi cation handed you over the counter. Not bo! You must write a letter to the Hon. v Commissioner of Patents stating explicitly what you want, giving the date of the publication, and enclosing the sum often cents. This letter is first referred to the Financial clerk of the Patent Offi ce and his staff of assistants who extract the dime, record, it, and cover it with due formality into the U. S. Treasury. Your letter . then goes to the . correspondence room, where it is numbered and recorded. It is then sent to the Issue Division and, in from 24 to 48 hours ten cent publication is received - by mail; What newspaper could aflord to sell papers in this way! What concern supported by other means than tax ation could aflord to carry on busi ness in this way! This instance is not an exception; it is the rule iu the Office of all tjie Bureaus of all the Departments. This supernnmerousuess is one phase of the evil and how can it be remidled! It is not an easy thing for an employer to discharge halt force. He has bowels of mercy, and discharge means want and hunger and ruin to many. Here in the government' service it is worse There is a larger avera ge of inconv petent helpless people in t he pay of the U. S. than can be lonnd els where. They are called Judge, and Colonel.and General, andProlessor, They have high sounding titles and dignified bearing, but turn them out and they will perish lifce cana ry birds. Besides, many of the men have toughtin the war, ana many of the women have lost brotbers, fathers sons in the war, and when these raise a hue and cry the politician will smite together at the knees, - and turn pale. Then again, there is scarcely a member or a senator who has not a large number of relatives quartered on the government. It takes a hero to vote in the teeth of his mothei-in law. , .

Star. tnjer Y.oj "iA.sf tO.CGO. iCmcinattl Kiiquiner.) The S:auJard Oil Comnanv has lately been beaten by Jlike Keating, ' 16 years old, a messenger boy of the Western Union Telegraph Com pany at Oil City. Mike has been in the employ of the telegraph com-" pauy since he was old enough to carry despatches, and nearly all of this time he has, been in the Oil Exchange at the OU City, carrying messages to and from the brokers. The large operators in petroleum send their despatches in cipher. The boy had carried so many mes sages sent by the Standard from its headquarters at Cleveland that he had unravelled the mystic charac ters, and could read them like a printed page. Just prior to the re cent extraordinary advance iu the petroleum market, when the prices jumped in a few days from fifty cents to 91.3a. Keating carried a number of telegrams to the stand ard's brokers ordering them to buy arge blocks of oil. The monopoly had laid its plans to boom the mar ket, and the Oil City brokers were ordered to buyt everything. "Buy halt a million barrels," "Buy a million barrels." "Buy two million barrels,'1 were the way these or ders came in. They were aiddles to all but the brokers who received them, and Mike Keating who deliv ered them. . .' ? i Keating knew something extror- dinary was soon to happen. The market, which had been like a stagnant pool for a year, was al ready croepmgup the scale. Or: ders for immense blocks of oil were still coming from the Standard's headquarters. There was no . time to lose. , But what could a boy do without a ; dollar iu his pocket? Keating went to one ot the largest operators on the floor of the Ex change, outside of the Standard's agents, and torn mm ne had a "pointer." ' Tbe broker laughed at him. : The boys earnestness finallv commanded attention, and the bro ker agreed to his proposition, which was that the broker should furnish money for a deaL" if he was satis fied with the information, and divide the profits equally. Then the messenger told the broker what he bad, and ol tbe telegrams he had been carrying from the Stand ard's Cleveland office.' The next message that fell into the boy's hands was carried secretly to the broker and translated. , It was an order to buy everything that was offered. The broker probably swal- owed to keep his heart down. Any way, he went back to the Exchange and began to buy. lie saw the Standard's agents buying right and ett, and was satisfied a big deal was m progress, tie took ' every thing he could get until he had a round million barrels. The market wras already jumping last, and his million barrels had been : secured at an average , cost of I seventy-two cents. He waa loaded to ' the guards. Orders to buy and orders to sell were pouring in irom every quarter, and the excitement was becoming intense.' The market was still pounding upward with the nsual ttuctations. Every time the prices advanced a cent or declined a cent the broter saw a profit or a loss of $ 10,000. . He kept his . head, however, and . when the market scored above 80 cents he began ; to unload. ' The Standard men were on hand to take eveiything, and be got rid of all his oil at an average price ol 80 cents a barrel. He had bonght at 72, and his profits were therefore eight cents a; barrel or $80,000 in all. He divided equally with Mike Keating, the messenger boy who had unravelled the Stand ard7s cipher according to agree ment. - It is well enough to remem ber that oil touched $ 1.35 during this ten days spurt, and if the bro ker had held on until the top was reached the profits of the two would have been 530.000, It goes without saying that the Stahdard Oil Company has a new cipher and one messenger boy is out ot ajob.
