a WRONG PRACTICE.

The newspaper conductors of this State
do too much for nothing-a portion of them
do great deal of advertising without re-
ceiving any compensation, and we will
show how. When State bonds, for instance,
are offered for sale, the Treasurer only ad
vertiSes them in the Raleigh papers, for
which the State pays; but nearly all other
newspapers in the State publish the infor-
nation editorially (which is some better
than an advertisement without receiving
one cent. Now if the State of North Car
DINA is not willing to pay more than two
Raleigh papers for advertising its bonds
for sale, the balance of the papers ought
not to notice them gratuitously, for the
State is as well able to pay for advertising
as individuals are, and we should not charge
one what we do gratuitously for another.
The same remarks will apply to Railroad
Companies. They change their schedule
or nuke some new arrangement, and 0dUer-
tiSe the information in one or t1Co papers in
papers, along the line at least, publish it,
thus doing work for nothing for which
others get well paid.
We know that these matters cannot be
published in all the papers-in the latter
case it would be unnecessary, but in the
former, there are persons in all parts Of
the State able and probably desirious to
invest in State stocks, and some of the ne,rs-
DaDers ought not to be under the neces sity
of publishing that gratuitously for the State
for which they would charge merchants
and others. These are our notions about
the matter-we may be wrong, but think
we are right.

TEE TARIFF.

Mr.. Campbell of Ohio, and Mr.. Letcher
of Virginia, have each introduced bill into
the House of Representatives,, modifying
and lowering the present tarif-the former
the majority and the latter the minority re-
port. The Secretary of the Treasury for
the second time has recommended reduc-
ton, and the bills under consideration are
in accordance with said recommendation.
In his last report the Secretary estimates
the legitimate expenses of the Government
at forty millions of dollars. The income to
the public treasury under the operations of
the tariff of 1916 is about seventy millions,
thus raising annually thirty millions more
than is necessary.
A large surplus in the Treasury is dan
gerous thing. Raising more money from
the people than is required to carry on the
Government is altogether wrong-it is
wrong to the mass of the people to extort
an unnecessary tribute from their hard
earned substance, and thus to impose bur-
den upon the exertions of their labor; it is
a wrong to the interests of commerce to
embarrass it by heavy imposts, and to OBJ
struct its operations by diminishing the ia
cilities of trade; it is a wrong to the gov
eminent to create and perpetuate fund of
corruption which shall make it the prey of
plunderers. and the abomination of decent
people. All admit that a redundant exche-
quer is a nuisance, and ought to be abated;
but the question is, whether the thing shall
be done by raising the Expenditures of gov
eminent to level with the revenue, or by
reducing the revenue to level with the
amount of necessary expenditure. Upon
this point there can be but one opinion
among right thinking men. The last is in
disputably the true policy of government,
because the other would only aggravate the
evils of which we now complain, would en-
barrass the operations of commerce, bur-
den the industry of the country, and breed
corruption in the administration of public
affairs, besides perverting all just views of
the object of federal Legislation and the
limits of federal power. 1t would be more
in harmony with the essential simplicity of
AlepuDlCdH 4HStIIullous, LlOIe CoHuuClFe W
the prosperity of the people, and more in
accordance with the peculiar nature of our
government, to establish an equitable and
easy policy of taxation on the basis of the
utmost frugality in expenditure. The Fed
eral government has a right to draw upon
the country for an amount adequate to its
support under an economical administration,
and for not farthing more.

ArrEMPr TO EscAPH.

A negro man named Lewis, belonging
to Col. E. p. Jones of this town, made a
bold attempt at escape to free State a
few days before Christmas. He obtained
a ticket at the North Carolina Railroad
Depot at this place and proceeded as far
as Acquia Greek, without being detected
as runaway. We learn that the negro's
statement as to the manner in which he
got off is thus: He went to the ticket
agent in hurry while there was a crowd
in the Office and asked for ii cket to We'll
don, which was handed him after showing
his forged pass-his free papers were
not closely examined until he got near
Acquia Greek, when the Conductor on the
Road pronounced them forgery and lock-
ed him up in one of the Cars. He as
sumed the name of George Cathey, wrote
his Own free papers and forged the certif
cate of the Clerk of the Court of this
county.
How the fellow could get to Weldon
without being discovered as fugitive, is
very strange. We learn that the rule on
the N. c. Road with regard to colored pas
sengers is quite strict, but in this instance
it did not prove efficient.
The negro was brought back here on
Tuesday last and is now in Jail.

CAUTION.-The late rumors about GER
tain contemplated outbreaks in the South.
caused a great deal of alarm at the time,
and all proper measures were adopted to
prevent any occurrence of the kind by
maintaining strict police regulations. AT
the time of the excitement we refrained
from publishing anything on the subject,
fearing that it might cause unnecessary
alarm among women and children, and lead
the class of persons suspected to think that
we really did fear them. No doubt the
whole affair was greatly exaggerated, but
that there was good reason for suspicion
cannot be denied. And our object now is
to caution the people against false notion
of security. Do not let the late escape
from danger, cause relaxation from watch
an efficient police and
always be on the alert, and not sometimes
excited and at other times profoundly care
less.
If white men are caught tampering with
slaves, let them be hung just as soon as
possible after allowing then time to pre-
pure to die.
The Richmond Enquirer has some timely
suggestions on this subject. 1: says:
There is reason to fear, we know. lest
this happy escape may induce the belief
that the cry of danger in the first instance
was false alarm. and people may now be
disposed to ridicule their idle approximations.
In such an event the suspected population
will be INDUCED in still greater license of
conduct the rigor of our police will be still
farther relaxed, and our social system will
be more exposed than ever to the peril of
sudden servile revolt. In this way the
salutary lesson of these recent disturb
ances, will be perverted to our own inse-
curity; and we may have to suffer the
penalty of foolish contempt of a providen-
tial admonition."

CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate, on the 5th January, the
Judiciary Committee reported that Hon.
Mr.. Harlan, of Iowa, was not legally elected
to the Senate.
On the 9th, Mr. Mason of Va, was elect
ed President pro. tenn. of the Senate, in

On the 9TH inst, Mr. Butler introduced
bill to establish Navy Yard at Port Roy
al. S. C. A bill has been reported pro-
viding for an increase Of the pay of Army
officers.
Senator Har Ian of Iowa, resigned his
seat.
In the House, on the 9th, Mr. Kelsey Of
II. Y, said the Washington correspondent
of the New York Times had made charge
of bribery and corruption against members
of the House, and others, which demanded
an investigation. He submitted resolu-
ton appointing committee of five, with
power to send for persons and papers to
investigate the matter.
Mr. Paine, of n. c., said he had knowledge
of such an attempt being made by one
member to others in relation to the Minnesota
land bill.
Great confusion ensued with loud calls
for the name of the offender, but Paine
refused to give it.
The resolution was finally passed, and
the House adjourned.
The WESTERN PORK TRADE.-The
number of hogs killed ct Cincinnati up to
Tuesday is 3I3,7O2, against 328,995 to the
same time last year. The Cincinnati Price
Current of Wednesday reports the market
firm, and adds:
''Our advices from the West leave no doubt
whatever that there will be marked falling
off in the pork packing business this year,
as compared with last, and upon a careful
comparison of our notes, we have but little
hesitation in saying that the crop of the
present year will not exceed that of lS54'55
which was twenty eight per cent, less than
last years crop.
1.-The packing of bacon for the English
market, is going on most extensively at all
the leading points throughout the West,
and there can be little doubt that tie in
crease in the shipments of this article to
England will be fully twenty-five per cent.

hence the great eagerness with which it was
entered into this year.
