without debate or roll call.

Our able contemporary, the Stand
ard, published in Chicago, has this to
say about the results of liquor in that
State. For conscience’s sake, we beg
onr State papers not to say anything
more about revenue derived from the
sale of this “beverage of hell.” It is
no wonder that tho people are rising
up to remove this enemy from the
land. But read what the Standard
says:
“The two criminal courts in Chica
go ought to keep well up with the
saloons. They find it, however, a
hard matter to convict and punish the
criminals as fast as they are made.—
Judge Anthony disposed of ninety-
three casei in April, sending thirty-
five to the penitentiary and the bal
ance convicted to other penal institu
tions—making 130 as the result of
the month’s work. It will be remem
bered that there is one county in this
State where there are no saloons,
which has sent bat one prisoner to
she penitentiary in thirty-two years.
In proportion to population and con
victs of Chicago, it would have been
entitled to about eight hundred. On
tentence day, the 30th, the grand jury
brought in seventy-nine new indict
ments to commence the May term
with.”
STAXLET 3IATTHEWS COXFIR.IIEO.
Our readers having noticed in onr
last issue that the confirmation of
Stanley Matthews as a Justice of the
U. S. Supreme Court, was reported
on unfavorably by the committee to
whom it was referred, will no doubt,
now be surprised to learn that his ap
pointment was confirmed, though it
was by a majority of only one vote.
But for the assistance of votes and
speeches of a few Democratic Senators
this would never have been, and we
are much surprised to see that such
men as Senators Beck and Pendleton
should have lent their assista:rce in
placing a man of such a highly ob
jectionable character as Matthews
possesses upon the Supreme Court
Bench. XVe shall watch with impa
tience to see what other Democratic
Senators were so recreant to their
trusts. As being appropriate j ust here
we copy the following from our able
CO temporary the Raleigh News:
“The confirmation of Stanley Mat
thews as Justice of the Supreme Court
will give very great dissatisfaction to
the country. At the North he was
opposed because his record was un
sound on the money question, and
again some of the Eepnblican papers
antagonized him because, while a
black Republican in years gone by, he
nevertheless executed the fugitive; the Republican party
slave law of Congress. At the West! from disorganization,
he fails to meet the public wishes be-; jq gave the State in the coming
cause he has been a railroad lawyer,
and has avowed opinions unfavorable
to the government as to certain rail
road questions of great importance,
involving some eighty millions of dol
lars. Jay Gould and other railroad
magnates were among his supporters.
He was also opposed because Ohio
had already two members on the Su
preme Court, and he does not reside
in the circuit for which he is appoint
ed. At the South he was antagonized
because, in addition to his railroad
record, he was too much mixed up
with the events that led to patting
Gen. Hayes, who was not elected, in
the seat to which the people bad
chosen for Gov. Tilden. But despite
of all these objections he has been
confirmed by a vote of one majority.
He owes his confirmation to Southern
Democrats. The Northern Demo
crats, it is said, voted against him,
as did several Northern Republi
cans. Ylr. Lamar made a strong
speech for him, and we are led to be
lieve that a majority of the Southern
Democrats voted for his confirmation.
We do not know the particular view
they took of the matter that led to
that course.
Justice Matthews is a man of very
superior attainments in his profession,
and is capable of dispatching work
with great facility. Except the mat
ters we have above adverted to, his
public career has not been objection-
able,{and apart from his public acts of
his life has been without reproach.—
On the announcement of his confirm
ation all of the Supreme Court J udges
called to express their gratification,
and we presume from this incident
that his appointment is acceptable to
the Bench.”
The Star of this evening says;
“When the news of the resignation of
Senators Conkling and Platt reached
the Treasury Department to-day
great excitement ensued and officials
and subordinates alike were soon
gathered in groups outside and
throughout the building, discussing
the situation and its probable effect-
The theory which had been advanced
that the Senators who resigned are
quite confident of being returned by
the New York Legislature is very
generally accepted, but in some quar
ters it is maintained that on account
of the Legislature having heretofore
endorsed the nomination of Robert
son to collector of the port of New
York it cannot consistently endorse
the action of the two Senators in op
posing it. This course, however, it
is conceded by prominent Republi
cans, can easily be brought about.
President Garfield was apprised of
the contemplated resignations this
morning and remarked to a Treasurer
official shortly before 12 o’clock that
he expected the news to arrive mo
mentarily. The resignations of the
two Senators are topics of conversa
tion at hotels’ and other public places
and grounds of men may be seen on
the street corners discussing the affair
in an excited manner.
The Star also publishes the follow
ing views of Senators concerning the
Senators sensation. One Republican
Senator said:
“They’ll both be re-elected by New
York Legislature.” Another said that
while he had not been informed of
this step his opinion was that it was
simply an appeal to the Now York
Legislature, now in session, by Xlessrs
Conkling and Platt for an endorse
ment of the position they had taken
on the Robertson nomination. A
w.arm friend of Senator Conkling said
it meanc that Conkling and Platt will
not bo insulted and outraged by this
administiation. They have known
from the first that the nomination of
Mr. Robertson was Blaine’s declara
tion of war against the ruling element
of the Republican party in New York.
They have known that Robertson was
selected to crush Conkling and de
stroy his influence if possible. They
had done everything they could to
prevent this bitter war in the Repub
lican party. They showed that they
had the Republican party of New
York behind them, only a small ring
of disorganizers and bolters support
ed Robertson, but the President re
fused to listen to any appeals for
peace and harmony. Conkling and
Platt then appealed to the Republican
Senators to unite with them in saving
in New York
to help them
elec
tion, but the Republican Senators, too
many of them, preferred to stick to
the side which controls patronage
and Mr. Conkling determined that
he would not sit iu the Senate and
see such an outrage put upon the
party which he has so ably organized
and so brilliantly let in New York.
Mr. Platt agreed with him and they
have resigned. Yes; no doubt they
will appeal to their party for approval
or disapproval of their course, and
any man who knows anything about
the Republican party in New York
will tell you that Conkling and Platt
will be endorsed with a vim.
Some of the Repubiican Senators
said they were too much surprised to
express any ofiinion on the subject.
The Democratic Senators were de
lighted at the action of the New York
Senators. They made.no effort to
conceal their gratification. Some of
them said it would widen tho breach
in the Republican party. As to the
action of the Democratic side, the
6Gr reporter inquired ot the Senators
who control that side. They will go
right ahead with tUe executive busi
ness and will adjourn as soon as the
President has nothing more for them
to do.
Rumors of the reorganization of the
committees were pronounced ground -
less and absurd by the Democrats.
Their leaders state that nothing of the
kind will be thought of; that they will
Some ot the Democrats spoke of thisi
action as dap-trap, saying that Conk- ■
ling and Platt knew in advance 'pre
cisely how the Legislature stand.s, i
just how many votes they can get, and
that they are in no danger of losing
their seats. Those who are disposed
to criticise to any extent, hold that
anv endorsedment of Conkling . and
Platt w’ill not count for much,
because they are assured of the re
sult; that if they would wait and go
before the people that course would
bo more commendatory.
After the Senate had adjourned, an
admirer of Mr. Conkling e.vpreoocJ

will go before the people next fall and
make a fight to elect a Legislature
which will re-elect him.

S.ion after the adjournment of the
Senate this afternoon, the Republican
Senators went into caucus for the pur
pose, it was understood, of determin
ing the course of action to be pur
sued in regard to action on Robert
son’s caso and other contested nomi
nations, and also to eonsiderffhe sub
ject ot adjournment.
It is generally believed that the
nomination of Judge Robertson will
be brought before the Senate for final
action during the next few days, and
that the Senate will adjourn sine die
towards the close of this week.
Neither Conkling nor Platt have
been at the capitol to-day, and in tho
absence ot any authoritative explana
tion from them, the motives and
meaning of their resignation are left
subject to mere speculation.

Why Dissolve 1
Some tew Southern Democratic pa
pers favor a dissolving of the “Solid
South.” They say it will harmonize
the country and cut up the by the
roots the wrangles between the sec
tions. They are late in the day in
coming forward with their remedy.
It is known to nearly every man of
ordinary intelligence throughout the
South that if the true people had
agreed to support Andy Johnson,
Grant and Hayes, that the wrangles
would never have begun. If every
Confederate General and officer had
done as Longstreet, Ylahone and Mos-
by have done, there would be no Dem
ocratic party in the land, and there
would have been no lies and slanders
in the Northern paper? about the
South. The Republican party would
control the whole country, there would
be no such thing heard of as local self-
government, or rights of States, and
a strong government would grow
stronger, until liberty would be de
stroyed forever.
XVhat Southern man is so fatuous,
so untrue to himsel and his children,
as to desire a centralized despotism
or the entire domination of the Re
publican party throughout the land ?
Break np the “solid South!” What
for ? To give the Radicals the con
trol ? It can lead to nothing else.
Is any man of gense and ordinary
patriotism, who calls himself a Dem
ocrat or who is opposed to Radical
ism, willing to purchase harmony and
good will at the price of abandoning
principle and handing over the South
ern States into the tender keeping of
the old enemy that desolated their
homes and robbed their treasuries?
We cannot believe it.
The greatest possible calamity that
can overtake the South is the disin
tegration of the Democratic party.
It is simply and truly the very sheet-
anchor of the safety and prosperity
of the South. It is suicidal; nay, it
is the height of criminality for any
one to go to work to break np the
only party that saves the South from
ruin by dividing it in the Southern
States. Every man with “an idea
above an oyster” knows that a split in
the South means Radical triumph. It
is proposed to split the Democrats,
but to leave the Radical party intact.
Let thirty or fifty thousand Demo
crats split off in North Carolina and
we will have Mahoneism in the State.
The old party of 1868-’69 will be back
again hungrier than ever and more
bent on ruin than they were in the
fearful days of the past when crime,
immorality, peculations, briberies ran
riot.— Wil. Star.

be the agreement betv.’een Garfield
and the Conkling-Grant wing ot the
party, whereby the latter were induced
to aid in the election. Details of the |

note their sagacity and wisdom in se

— The State Agricultural Depart
ment of Ohio has received estimates
of the wheat crop, which indicate that
the yield for 1881 will aggregate 44,-
895,053 bushels, and that there are
probably 10,378,299 bushels of the old
crop still in the purchasers’ hands.—
The condition of the crop of 1881 as
compared with that of last year on
May 1, 1880, is reckoned at 85 per
cent., and 19 per cent., of the crop of
1988 is reckoned as still on hand..—
The level, black-soil counties of the
northwest part of the State show fully
as good a yield as the remarkable
crop of last year, but the rolling coun
ties east and southeast, show about
80 per cent, and the hilly Ohio river
counties only about 65 per cent, of
last year’s crop.

in the mouth; Pain in the Back, Sides, or
Joints, often mistaken for Rheumatism, Sour
Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Bowels alternate
ly costive and lax; Headache, Loss of Memo
ry, with a painful sensation of having failed
to do something which ought to have been
done; Debility^ Low spirits, a thick yellow
appearance of the skin and eyes, a dry Cough
often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many of these symptoms attend
the disease, at others few; but the Liver, the
largest organ in the body, is generally the
seat of disease, and if not regulated in time,
great suffering, wretchcdnes.s, and Death will
ensue.

ments for the manufacture of ruy End
less Chain Horse Powers, I am now prepared
to fill orders for the same, and will have
agents to canvass this and adjoining coun
ties. The agents will carry models, and give
full descriptions of them.
I claim for this Power, that with two hors
es, it will do the work that now rtKjnires four
horses. With a sixty-saw gin, it will gin six
bales of cotton (450 lbs.) per day. It has no
equal for speed, making 850 revolutions per
minute, the horses going at rate of two and a
half miles per hour. The works are plain
aud simple, and are subjected to the least
amount of wear. This power has mrnv ad
vantages over other horse power. They will
be delivered at any depot on the Carolina
Central or Cheraw A Salisbury Rail Roads,
for $100 and freight from Charlotte.

Having made arrangements to manufacture

am now prepared to fill all orders made

• TJV Ifio undersigned haviog seen J. L. Moore’s
Siidlss.'? Chain Horse Power at work, are satisfied
that it is a great improvement on any horse power
that we ever saw. We certify that two horses, with
a ferty-saw gin, will do the work for which four
horses are now required with other powers; it also
gives a gin more speed than any other power we
ever .saw.
