lost. It should have been so stated on

his statement of the cost of the board of
commissioners is made in accordance

A Oood Fornac.
In such weather as we are having, a

and it was found partly rusted out

away and . eata up the coal, as if it in-
tended to make the Church so comfort
able that nobody can have any excuse
for staying away, or not listening well

Caanty Debt Statement. '
We publish today the statement of the
. county indebtedness as made up by the
chairman of the hoard of county com.
mijsioners to December 1885. . The re
duction since 1879, we think very cred
itable and shows that the debt can and
r will be brought into a controlable vol
ume at an early day, if, indeed, it is not
Already so. With this statement is also
a statement of the cost of the
new courthouse. Showing the amount
expended upon it up to its present
condition to be about $31,000, and we
think should be satisfactory to the peo
ple of the county. It is a superb struc
ture of good material and will compare
favorably with any court house in ar
rangement and conveniences, even
where much larger amounts have been
expended.' . : '
The Chairman of the Board, Mr. Jas.
A. Bryan, has supervised the building
and given careful attention to details
while employing experienced and faith
ful workmen And we suppose bis
brother commissioners will agree with
us in according to him a well-merited
credit for the same. t' ,
COUHTY FINANCES.
How the County Is Gouged.
We shall not undertake to point out
all the items of ' extravagance to be
found in the annual statement of dis
bursements published by the county
commissioners; we only propose, in
compliance with the request of a magis
trate of the county, to make good the
charge, that there is extravagance. It
is only necessary for us to show this, in
one instance, but many others can be
found.
LISTING TAXES.
We challenge any county in North
Carolina to sho x greater cost for listing
taxes, in proportion to the amount of
real and personal property listed, than
Craven county. The aggregate of real
and personal property in the county is
$3,486,363. To list this it cost $430.00;
every tax lister is allowed $40.00, save
the one for the eighth township, which
includes the city of New Borne, and be
is allowed $150.00, quite enough to list
the taxes of the whole county. We do
most emphatically prononuce this an
exhorbitant allowance for the work
done, and in proof of this assertion we
wish to cite a few facts in regard to ap
propriations made for the same work in
other counties. In the county
of Wayne the aggregate value
of real and personal property is
$4,485,025, nearly double that
of Craven, the cost of listing
taxes is $263.00 against $430 00
for Craven; in Guilford county the val
uation of real and personal property ag
gregates $4,675,194 and the cost of list
ing taxes is $271.00, against $430 (0 for
Craven ;'.in Lenoir county the aggregate
value of real and personal property is
$2,331,568 and the cost of listing taxes
is $134 62 in this county the list-takers
are allowed two dollars per day for two
days attendance at the court house on
business connected with listing taxes
which adds $4.00 to the cost, making
the total cost $174,53-against $480.00
paid by Craven county fjr similar work;
in the county of Jones the aggregate
value of real and personal property is
$715,000, and it cost $88.00 to Hat the
taxes against $430,00 in Craven county.
The commissioners of Craven county
seem to act upon the idea that tax listers
are entitled to all the law will allow
them to appropriate for that purpose,
and then they take the responsibility of
making an extra allowance fcr town
ship No. 8 city of New Berne and ac
tually spend enough in this township
alone to list the taxes of the whole
oounty. Four of the five commissioners
are list takers and, "Tbey shall take
who have the power, and they shall keep
who can," seems to be the maxim that
governs. Every list-taker gets his forty
dollars no matter whether he list one
hundred or a thousand taxpayerj! The
method adopted by them is unjust as
well as a costly one. For instance the
tax list-taker of No. 2 township lists 232
names and receives his forty dollars,
while the list taker in No. 1 lists 654
names and receives his forty dollars;
nearly three times the work but tho
same pay.
It certainly is not the intention of the
law that every tax lister shall receive
forty dollars, because the taxes are re
quired to be listed in twenty days and
they are 'allowed two dollars per day
for the time they are actually engaged
in the work. In Lenoir county the
commissioners adopt the rule of paying
four cents per name, which is a fair
compensation and each one gets pay in
proportion to the amount of work done.
Is there a magistrate in Craven county,
outside the board of commissioners that
will deny that there has been extrava
gance in the pay of tax listers? If there
is he ought to retire until flush times:
he is not the man wanted in time of de"
pression and low prices for cotton.
COUNTY WOKK.
The register of deeds is allowed from
time to time amounts for ' 'county work "
aggregating f,or the fifteen months cov
ered by the annual statement about
$775,00. From the number and amount
of the bills allowed one would almost
think that the register was
the J- contractor for building
the new court house, besides
this he' is allowed something over four
hundred dollars for work making cut
and computing schedule B, care - of
court house, making annual reports,
abstracts of taxe3, yeniries, etc. The
register of deeds is a very olever gentle
man, and will not present a bill unless
he thinks he is clearly entitled to it, but
cannot the oounty commissioners make
less work and consequent!; lets bills to
allow for county work? ;

Not Personal.
Our criticisms on the published state
ment of the disbursement of county
funds has created some stir and we have
reason to believe will accomplish some
good. But we are surprised to hear that
some gentlemen in the city a very
few regard the criticism as f
personal attack upon a cer
tain gentleman of the board of com mis
sioners. This is not true. We hare no
personal feeling in the matter; we com
mented upon such items in the report
as we thought we knew to be unlawful.
The very object of the law in having
this statement published is to give the
taxpayers an opportunity to criticise
such expenditures as they think im
proper, that a repetition moy not occur.
Now is it right to charge us with mak
ing a personal attack upon a particular
member of the board, because, in res
ponse to a request of a magistrate of the
county, we simply point out such items
in the expenditures as we think are un
lawful? This is simply an attempt to
divert attention from the facts in the
case; it won't work.

I speak today for the preservation of
the grand old party. The need of the
present moment is neither Dudley or
Abbott, but peace and tranquility with
in the party. The election which is be
fore us is destined to be memorable
memorable .when you and I will be
dead and in forgotten graves. On the
account of so much corruption within
the party, the committee is the master
of a supreme oppoitunity; it can order
the election of new precinct commit
tees to elect a new county executive
committee, with instruction not to elect
either Abbot or Dudley as its chairman
and sec aside for the good or the party
the two bones of contention. Yes, the
committee finds itself the master of a
superb opportunity; it can send the
dispute to the people for their condem
nation which will insure a united legion
with a peaceful convention and eman
cipate a divided party. We are told
that Abbott factions is to hare a ticket
and Dudley faction is to hare a ticket;
and they are some Republican who are
going to run an independent tioket
With 3 Republican setts of candidates
in the field, we will hare a nice state of
affairs, and in the language of Chas.

loose in order to make a holiday in-hell.
My countrymen, I ask you to think of
it; although I an not a prophet or

place with all history and men behind
me and progress and human happiness
before me, I falter not on this occasion
in duty to my State and county, in this
tremendous hour of the republic the

Congressional Work.
Senate. Feb. 4. Mr. Cameron called
upthebiil providing for the appoint-1
ment of an Assistant secretary of the
Navy. The amendment suggested by
the Naval committee requires that the
assistant should come from civil life.
Mr. Plumb hoped that some explana
tion would be given of the need of such
an office and of the need of such baste
in taking up the bill at this time, it
having but recently been reported.
Debate on this bill at once took a po
litical turn and it lasted until 2 o'clock.
The participants were Messrs. Hoar,
Butler, Cameron, Ingalls, Hale, Plumb,
Hawley, Beck, Allison, VanWyck,
Blackburn, Cockrell and Logan. The
main feature of the debate was the at
tack upon the present head of the Nary
Department Dy tne Republicans on ac
count of his action in the matter of
John Roach's contract, and his defence
by Democratic Senators.
Finally Mr. Cameron urged an im
mediate vote on the bill, but Mr. Logan
opposed this, and at 2 o'clock the matter
went over.
The Dakota bill was then placed be
fore the Senate and Mr Harrison took
the floor. Taking up seriatim the ob
jections made to the admission of
Dakota, the senator proceeded to show-,
as he contended, either their inapplica
bility to the case under debate or their
inherent fallacy. He insisted that the
real animus of the objections was that
another Presidential election should
pass before the people of Dakota were
to be permitted to participate in such
election.
Mr. Morgan said the Senator from In
diana (Harrison) who was evidently a
candidate for the Presidency, might
not hare a chance at the rotes of Da
kota, for Mr. Morgan did not think he
would ripen in four years.
Mr. Harrison, replied that if be erer
should be s candidate, although he
would not be at an sure but that be
might justly claim the electoral rote of
Alabama, he never would expect to
hare it counted for him.
Mr. Harrison defended petsons who
had been prominent jn the Dakota pro
ceedings from attacks made on them by
Senatorial ODDonents of admission. "Mr.
Butler and Mrv Morgan frequently in J
terposed with interrogatories and m-
auiries as to Mr. Harrison's points, and
le debate occasionally became warm.
Oij Mr. Butler's stating in one instance
that Mr. Harrison did not! undent nd
the point at the moment in controversy,
Mr. Morgan remarked, "Ohl he docs
not want to understand it. Let him go
along."
Mr. Harrison insisted that Messrs
Morgan and Butler had set up a man of
straw and hustled him all around the
Senate chamber, and as the debate pro
ceeded and Mr. 'Harrison read papers
contradicting those read on the other
side to show the feeling prevalent in
Dakota with regard to the question of
admission, one Senator created some'
thir.T of a sensation by quoting King
Hemy's exclamation, "Oh Lord! how
this world is given to lying." This
brought down the floor as well as the
galleries. Other passages at arms took
place between Senatots participating in
tne debate, ror example, when Mr.
Harrison wanted to know how Mr. But
ler would have entitled the new conali
tution of Dakota, if not the constitution
of the State of Dakota, he propounded
this inquiry, "would the Senator have
begun it with the words: By the grace
of Uod and the Senator from South
Carolina." Laughter.
To which Mr. Butler replied: "No,
no, I should have simply said, 'By
eraco of the Senator from Indiana.'"
Renewed laughter.
Mr. Harrison spoke at some length in
further maintenance of the points orig
inally made by him in favor of the com
mittee's bill.
Mr. Butler obtained the floor to reply
to Mr. Harrison, but Mr. Call asked
him to give way for an executive ses
sion. This Mr. Butler was willing to
do, but Mr. Harrison wished some
agreement arrived at as to the time
when the Senate should come to a vote
on the bill.
Mr. Beck said that in Mr. Vest's ab
sence he (Beck) would not be willing to
consent that the time be fixed.
Mr. Harrison understood from Mr.
Vest's colleague that Mr. Vest might
not be in the Senate for a week yet.
Considerable confusion arose as to the
course to be pursued; Republicans sho w
ing unwillingness to go into executive
session without an agreement as to the
voto. Without further action on the
bill, at 4:30 p. m., on motion of Mr. Ed
munds the Senate adjourned.
House. After the reading of the
Journal which consumed more than
half an hour, the Speaker proceeded to
call the committees for reports, but no
measures of public importance were
submitted.
Mr. Hammond, of Ga., on behalf of
the same committee, called up the bill
to prevent the claims of war taxes (un
der tho act of AuauBt 5th, 1861, and the
acts amendatory thereof, )by the United
Slates being set off against the general
government.
Mr. Barksdale, of Miss., made an ar
gument in favor of the bill, contending
that it was a matter of simple justice to
various States of the Union. The gov
ernment is illimitable in its resources,
as powerful to execute its promises as it
is to enforce its decrees. It could not
afford to plant itself on the Rob Roy
rule "the simple plan, that they shall
take that have the power, and they shall
keep that can."
Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, attacked the
bill as a proposition to relieve certain
States that had been in rebellion from
the obligation of payment without in
any way attempting to secure equal
justice to all of the States by reimbur
sing those which had promptly made
full payment.
Pending further discussion the morn
ng hour expired.
The House went into Committee of the
Whole on the bill to relieve the shipping
interest of a portion of theexlsting bur
dens. A number of amendments were
made to the bill in furtherance of its ob
ject. The committee rose and the bill
passed.
Mr. Bragg of Wis., asked unanimous
consent to offer a resolution setting
spart Friday and Saturday next for the
consideration of the Fitz John Porter
bill, the previous question to be ordered
