Entered at the Post office at New Berne, N O.
. a second-class matter.
The shrinkages in value of rail
road stocks and other securities in
Wall street during the present year,
according to the World, arrjpunt to
near two hundred millions of dol
lars. The loading money kings,
VANDEEBILT, GOULDj Field.Sage
and others lose heavily, and the
World I prodicts that Christmas
greetings around the dinner tables
of these great monopolists will hot
be so cheerful as they wt ro twelve
montbs.ago. Eich men have their
troubles, as well as their pleasures.
The contented man; the man who
has au easy conscience; ; the man
who knows that whatever of this
world's goods he possesses were
not obtained by wronging his fel
low man,' and above all ' the man
whose faith and hope arer ill the re
deeming merits of a crucified
Savior, and who yields obedience to
His law, however humble his situa
tion in life, is far happier than the
millionare who obtained his riches
by Wall street gambling.
Diversified farming. .
- We will mention a few different
crops that' can be raised on most
farms in East Carolina.
Cotton generally comes first as a
money crop, and where land is rich,
with good seed and judicious culti
vation it stands yet at the bead.
A reduced acreage with increased
fertility is what we need." It does
not cost any more, if as much, to
plant and cultivate an acre that
produces 500 pounds lint, as one
that yields only 200 pounds.
Corn is our chief grain crop, but
oats can be made to help wonder
fully; oats require but little labor
and make a quick return. Sown in
January or February, they can be
cut in June, and do not require any
hoe work or other cultivation. It
is a good plan to let oats follow cot
ton; perhaps: a better plan is to
fallow cotton with corn, and corn
with oats, the land then to rest, but
if it does not need rest field peas,
sweet potatoes or sorghum can follow.-;
'. -
A good pasture is a necessity on
lost farms, and where there are no
natural ones, we must have others.
On most upland, orchard grass and
ed clover will make a good pasture;
for wet bottoms," red top grass is
better. These grasses are good for
Lofrsalso. ; : . . ;.t ;,,
. The cow pea is considered a good
crop to improve land, and is also
tccllent for hogs and cattle, there
e few things better to feed milch
)ws on than peas in the hull, or
round into fine meal.
Teas can be raised in the corn
aid to good advantage. It is bet
r to plant seed peas in patches
rgely, so they will ripen before
Mon opens, as it is seldom we
n get them picked at a reasonable
i ice after cotton picking begins.
i is also a good plan to leave them
i the hull, when picked, till Bpring,
j keep the bugs from eating them;
Lcn beat Out in the Held, let them
.iu as taken up till- spring to
i or clean, for if cleaned ;in the
I, the bogs are much worse. .. .
tJweet potatoes are easily r;tised
. t.!.o ridges are not pulled -np with
3 but with the plow : They ere
"endid for, hogs, but let the hogs
their own digging, as housing is
ensive. ' " ','': '' - - ::'t'y
: rgbum! is a good crop' easily
r ?,, and can be grown after early
5 tables or. oats, and is the best
2 to replant cotton with. ' It
i be planted in June and makes
t little shade. ; Cannot say how
"I pay for Bvrnp, but it is splen
j r hogs, cut and fed to them
r the crain is ripe.
: : icbokes are good for liop, and
j p mount of '. llsey
are suited for midwinter Log pas
tores: they need but little cultiva
tion and can be planted in the win
ter when . work is not so pushing.
Plant in rows three feet apart and
IS or 20 inches in the drill, cut to
one eye, let seed remain in ground
till planting time; if dug they will
dry np and die.
Early .vegetables, where con
venient to shipping1 points, can be
made to help generally, if only a
small, area is put in, but : when
planted extensively," they do not
generally pay, but demoralize labor,
and keep other crops lrom paying,
Eic? can be raised where lands
are adapted to it, but do not think
it will ever be cultivated extensive
ly about : here. The same may be
said of ground peas.
A few good butter cows can be
made to pay' on most farms, but
where cattle are not well fed and
regularly penned, it is doubtful if
they pay. ; it is certain . tney win
greatly improve ottr farms if turned
on them in winter, to tramp them
and eat all vegetation off. - -; ;
There v is no use talking, about
sheep while the present value(T)
remains on the "cur." - -
Hogs can be profitably raised
where the cholera : does not kill
them. They .can be raised ; with
very little corn If clover is provided
for them.: If turned on clover in
May, they will thrive till August,
when peas can be ready for them.
or green corn, 'fed stalk; and all;
also sorghum, can be cut and fed to
them until sweet potatoes and late
peas are ready. : If the clover dies
down in July, put tjhem on the oat
stubble; it "will give ' them a splen
did "start.? "LV.i v.:i ,y
Poultry on a smalLscale will pay,
if well attended to; eggs pay better
than chickens for market. , The ex
pense -will7 never bo felt on most
farms, and what is sold can bo put
down as clear gain v i 't v i t :
It would, be .well for farmers to
pay more attention to fruit; it pays
Bomo men;' where .early kinds are
raised, and carrjett to market j they
sell readily at paying prices.. M.

VASHnraToif, Deo. 19. Every
one in Washington has wondered
why Mrr Springer " has heter suc
ceeded In developing anything new
in the scandals ' Connected with the
Congressional appropriations for
me ocar routes, mt. springer nas
had great experience as an investi
gator. r He has probably seen more
service on investigating committees
than any other member of the pres
ent House. He -is a very tall,
square shouldered, vigorous-looking
man forty-eight yearsk old, in the
Very prime of heapth and mental
vigor. He has a very large head
upon the top; of which his black
hair is beginning to thin. He has
a very wide full forehead, dark
black eyes and a straight, promi
nent . nose.;? He wears a pointed
van vv&e oeara ana a tigntiy-
curled - mustache. This beard ; is
black and Its shape gives him a
foreign look. Mr. Springer is as
trim in ! his dress as a ; martinet
army officer. His black frock is
always buttoned up tightly to his
throat, and he follows Gen. Butler's
picturesque example by placing
each day in " the left lapel of tiis
coat the most lovely , rosebud that
money can buy.;' Bill Springer, as
be is called in the West, is an inde
fatigable 'worker. ! So when he
brought out nothing in his last in
vestigation except what related to
the mismanagement, of; the Mar
shals', offices of the country, those
who knew him best were thoroughly
surprised and have since sought
ior some explanation. 1 remember
hearing last spring from private
sources that Mr. Springer bad in
hand testimony going to show that
fifteen or twenty of the members of
the HOnse had been, bribed to se
cure the passage of the Deficiency
bill of the Post-Office Department
in the last Congress. ; This testi
mony implicated Democrats as well
as Republicans. The session came
to a close, however, without any of
these sensational developments
reaching the public' '
I- Last evening I asked Mr.
Springer the reason for the failure
to bring out this story in record
shape. His reply was a long one.
But the main' thread of his answer
was based upon the fact that he
could get all the information relate
ing to this -corruption only from
confidential sources, and that none
of the. men who came to him with
stories would ngree to go upon the
stand: and" give- evidence.; i. There
was only one man who appeared
willing to testify and who knew
enough about the case to make his
evidence valuable. This man was
Dorsey. ;He appeared more than
willing to tell the story. After ho
had accepted service as a witness
he got permission to go out -West
to look after his cattle interests.
ne promised to return in Jnne.
He would have returned if it bad
not been for Col Ingersoll. - He
told Dorsey that Tie was talking too
much for his own good. "You'can
hurt a great many people," said he,
,(by going before tho committee,
But I dd not see but v.L.t you wil
hurt yourself about as much. The
lest thins voa o; 1 C. ) l( n
your mouta sLnt." So Dorsey
tailed to keep his promise to appear
before the committee. He left
New Mexico and went np into what
is called the Pan Handle of Texas,
where he was beyond the reach of
the House.
Dorsey indicated pretty well in a
conversation with Springer before
he went away in the spring what
he would testify to if he went on
the stand. . It will be remembered
that the Post-Office during the last
year or lirady's rule sent up a defl
ciency bill calling . for 12,000,000.
Joe Blackburn was Chairman of the
sub-committee of the Appropria
tions Committee, to which this defi
ciency estimate was referred. - He
was against it from the start.. The
sub-committee finally reported in
favor of giving only $1,000,000, but
as is nsnai in such cases the steal
was fixed up in a conference com-
miccoe so tuac tne ocar-route people
got all that they wanted. Dorsey
said that there was a fund of over
1100,000 raised , for the purpose of
manipulating Congress. This enor
mous corruption fund was raised
by assessments npon the Star-route
contractors. Dorsey' says that e
himself paid $7,000 as his share of
this bribery fund. .. Every dollar of
this fund was disbursed. It was
paid to members to the confiden
tial friends of Senators, to ex-member
lobbyists who . have the privi
leges of the floor, and to 'the tribe
of petty hangers-on about the Cap;,
itOl. V -, 'r . ;. 1 f.7 '''li'.-h'
To get at the average, market
rate for Congressmen I asked Mr.
Springer to give me the sums al
leged to have . been; paid ' to . mem
bers. Without , giving .any names
ho ran ' over some, oi the . alleged
payments The amounts' ranged
lrom l,000to $2,000.; Two' thou
sand dollars represented the price
of a first-chop member. ; The first
chop, member: is a man who has
never been bought before; He al
ways comes higher1 The member
who has never, sold himself to an
established agency of the .lobby' is
atterwards m its power and has to
accept . less money. ,Mn Springer
has in his ' possession to-day a list
of the members to whom 'money is
alleged to have'been paid for their
votes in passing the deficiency steal-
tie reluses to give any one of these
names, as there was not a single
witness that he could find who would
go on the stand and ; swear to any
one of the payments., : , ; '-. . j '
There is ' nothing in the world
more difficult to prove ' than the
corrupt use of money ; about Con
gress. The moral evidence may be
sufficient, but when yon go beyond
that endless obstacles are encoun
tered. The man' who bribes is gen
erally no more inclined to make
revelations than the man who is
bribed. Bribery rarely takes place
in the presence of witnesses. Mr.
Springer sought as .much as he
could to verify the list given him
by his confidential witnesses by
studying the records of the House
of that period. But the affair had
been too well managed. The lead
ers in this scheme of plunder : had
managed so well that there was not
a single record vote la the House
on what could be called a test ques
tion oi the merits of the proposition.
There are ; indications here and
there which confirm the original in
formation on the subject, but not
enough in Mr Springer's judgment
to . warrant the publication- of a
single name. ' ' '
