Ohio Soldiers Orphans Homo.

In another column will be found
an advertisement by the Executive
Committee Of the Board of Control
of the Soldiers Orphans Home;
calling for sealed PROPOSALS for the
excavation and stone work Of the
main building Of the Home at Xenia;
The Executive Committee have had
several meetings lately, we under
stand, and are pushing forward the
good enterprise with all the vigof
in their power The 100 acres of
beautiful land; near Xenia, has been
secured by the liberality of the cit
izens of Xenia and Green county;
and the deed made. The $4,000
additional cash subscription by the
same citisens is promised to be
made available for building purpo-

other subscriptions in different
parts of the State, the Board feel
justified in pushing the work for

The Importance and necessity of
this benevolent wotk is not gener-

The Secretary of State has sent
to each County Auditor in the State
a circular, making the following in
quiries: .
1st. Number CfSoldiers' Orphans
in Codnty 1nfrmary?
I'd. Aggregate number during the
year?
Sd. Number of Soldiers Orphans
maintained at public expense, out

4th. Estimated number of Sol
diers' Orphans who are not main
tanned at the public expense?
Only seven counties have thus
far responded to the circular Guy

ky.
From these returns we gather the
following statistics:
Soldiers Orphans in the seven
counties, 1884; maintained atpub-
lie expense, 900; number in county
infrmary during the year, 21.
If we have over two thousahd
orphans of deceased soldiers in
these seven courties, how many
must there be in the whole SS coQn-
ties? !.
We rejoice that this good work
is at last fairly begun in Ohio and,
trust that it will be pushed forward
until every child of our brave men
who gave their lives that our eodn-
trv might live, shall have one spot
in their native soil that they can
call home, where their physical,
mental and moral training shall be
in some measure commensurate
with the great loss they have sus-
tained.--O. S. JourHat.

rFhe Legislature and its Duties.

Al 10 period in the history of the State
hiss the Legislature devolying upon it SO
llaay momentous duties as at present. The
condition of our State is such as to excite
n thg most serious consideration. Great ques-
tirns. lffecting the educational and financial
ilteress IS, depend upon tue action OF the
present session of the General Assembly. A
ma ority of the gentlemen composing this
body have brought to their undertaking
adequate learning, sound judgment, peculiar
decision, and courage that knows no fear.
Thele are few Legislatures to whose hands
the grave interests of State affairs could have
been more safely committed. These gentle
men seem to be fully alive to the Importance
.of the task and the magnitude of the respon
: sibility that devolves upon them. They are
prepared to put forth all their strength
and time to improve and better the condi-
tion of North Carolina. The Republican
party of the United States has achieved for
itself celebrity more than American by its
indefatigab!e devotion to the welfare OF the
toiiing millions. The judgment pronounced
bv eminent Europeans such as Bright and
Stuart Mill have been abundantly sustained
by the grand achievements of the party in
the last few years. Its chief characteristics
are sound principles, practical ethics, whole
some lessons and the highest patriotism.
The memorable words of Burke has been
its motto and its inspiration: "To attend
to the neglected, to remember the forgotten" "
This session of the Legislature ought TO be
practically Republican and useful. Let
there be immediate attention given to
the suggestions of the Governors mes
sage in relation to the credit of the
State He is anxious as is every patriotic
North Carolinian to preserve our credit
untarnished. At this time, this is the most
momentous subject that can possibly occupy
the attention of the Legislature. Compared
with this massive and magnificent interest,
everything else is but as dust in the balance.
There is another subject that should engage
the prompt attention of the Legislature:
that is the establishment of schools for the
people. There are several Colleges in North
Carolina, most of them in fourishing con-
dition. but as yet, no common schools have
been organized An enumeration has taken
place, and it is to be presumed that the
General Assembly is in possession of all the
facts, and knows exactly the Importance of
immediate action on this subject. 1t is i'm
perative that decision should be arrived at
and we see no good reason for delay. !
There are many other general matters that
express the hope of the people, that the
members will talk of these matters, fayorably
dispose of them, and, having done so, adj

DEATH OF AN ESTEEMED CITIzEN.-The
Roanoke News is panied to chronicle the
death on Saturday last, at his residence near
Halifax, of Capt. W. B.-Pope, after an ex-
ceedingly brief illness. Capt. Pope was a
native of this county, having been since
early manhood engaged in the practice of
law, and so far succeeded in winning the
confidence of the people of the country as
to have twice represented it in the State
Legislature, being member of the House
of Commons in 1861 when the State went
out of the Union. He was in the neigbbor-
hood of fifty years of age, and leaves wife
and several interesting children to mourn
his sudden end. His death was occasioned
by pneumonia. 1ac s9ea SO
We learn that al little daughter of his,
some FIVE years of age, died of the same
disease on Monday.

The suggestion Of Postmaster General

The suggestion Of Postmaster General
Randall, when he confers them strictly to his
business and diyests them of political signi-
fcance, are sensible and practical He has
just sent to Congress a report recommending
the union Of the telegraph with the postal
service. Thereport contains valuable statis-
tics bearing upon the subject, to which the
Postmaster General adds his own conviction
after careful examination of the; subject,
that our Post Office Department can arrange
for the reception and delivery of messages
with the same facility and economy which
have attended the use ofthis system in Bel
gium, Switzerland, and France. He concludes
his report by saying thass sssnder the system
now proposed s'the advantages of private
enterprise and government control are com
bined, while the principal defects of each
are avoided. The entire system will be in
harmeny with the present postal service, and
messages will be received and delivered by
the department and transmitted under con-
tract with parties" 0}eQ8i5 3.

The Cotton supply.

from the Liverpool Cotton Supply Reporter.l
Z Gotten cultivation would be still highly
remunerative and would furnish an ample
reward for the capital and labor expended,
even though prices should somewhat de-
cline. Preparations will soon be made for
next sowing season, and the present state
and prospects of the cotton market should
exert a powerful stimulus in every direction.
There is no doubt that this will be the case
in America, and that year by year strenuous
efforts will pe made 10 restore cotton TO its
former Importance among the products of
the country. Corresponding efforts, how
ever, must be made elsewhere, especially in
India, and without these there can be no sue
cessful competition with America. The pro-
gress of events in the United States aud any
advance made towards the recoveryof the pre-
eminence in the production of cotton former
. ly enjoyed. must beu special significance to
India, aud ought to prove an incentive to
fresh exertion. To improve the quality of
cotton, to increase the production, to open
or remove all existing obstacles, to provide
better roads and ample means of irrigation,
and, in short, to make diligent use of all
the appliances which exist, in order to re-
be an object of constant solicitude.
Never has SO splendid an opportunity
been presented to any people, and though
hitherto it has not been adequately appre-
ciated, it still remains to bcused by those
who have the requisite wisdom and energy
for the purpose. We hope that tie new
Governor General, from the interest which
he has already manifested. will be prepared
and able to exert beneficial influence
in promoting an extended and improved
: cultivation of cotton in India, and we are
! fully assured of bis desire to do all that he
possibly can in this respect. While, how
ever, we are most anxious that nothing
should he wanting to increase our supplies
of cotton from India, we trust that in
other countries there will be larger area
than ever planted next season. In Turkey
especially, there ought to be renewed exer-
tions to increase the growth of cotton.
Further supplies of American seed would
be of great service to that country, as well
as mere stringent measures on the part of
the Government to protect the cultivators
from the depredatlons and exactions of
which they SO often complain. Cation cul-
tvation. if fostered. and encouraged, might
be made an increasing source of wealth and
prosperity to the Ottoman Empire. ~

LANDMARKS OF GRANT-The N. Y. Sun
says 1T is well to look at certain estab-
lished landmarks in the opinions and char
acteristics of the new President, which will
afford uneering guides to those who are in
search of valuable information. They are
but few trustworthy, and may be summed
up thus: .First-He always stands by his
pledges; Second-He never deserts his
friends. In accepting the nomination of the
Chicago Convention he emphaticalIy ap-
proved its platform of principles, and
pledged himself to carry them into effect if
elected He is elected, and will soon assume
the responsibility of reducing hls creed to
practice To do this lie will require the aid
of numerous subordinate officers. While in
the army he was never known to voluntary
employ agents to execute hls plans who did
not thoroughly concur with him in opinion
respecting the matters in hand, and in,whose
sagacity and fidelity he. had not the most
implicit confidence. Doubtless these salient
traits of character will follow him from the
field to the cabinet. n-3sa p IS -.
