THE WILMINGTON JOURNAL
WILMINGTON. n. c..
SATURDAY. sEPTEMBER II. 1862


We have heard that very recently con
tract has been given out by the new
managers of the Wilmington, Charlotte
and Rutherford Railroad for simply putting
down the bed of portion of the road
near Cherryville, after al Jr6eltnJ hoS'
been done, at twenty-five thousand dollars
per mile. These are extraordinary figures
We are not railroad builders, but we are
10th to believe that any such extraVagaht
price is to be paid for such work. The
four millions of State bonds granted or
loaned to the road will do but little towards
its completion if such jobs are to be the
rule. Bonds at hardly fifty cents on the
dollar, and that in currency thlrty-hVe or
forty per cent. below par, will build but
Tary short reaches of railroad at the rates
which the above stated rumor reports.
We know of nothing which will do our
city and the region through which 1t
passes more real and lasting good than the
completion of the Wilmington, Charlotte
and Rutherford Railroad. We earnestly
desire it's speedy accomplishment. The
people along its entire length long for it,
md We watch with anxiety and jealousy
everything which affects this object. This
notice is made in no captious spirit, and
re shall be truly glad to know that there
is no foundation in fact for the report.

Death of Senator Fessenden.

The telegraph announces the death of
the Hon. VIM. Pitt Fessenden, United
States Senator from Maine, perhaps the
ablest. as he certainly was among;the most
elevated in character, of the republican
Senators. He died at his home in Port
land, Maine, yesterday morning. He was
born in Boscawen, New Hampshire, in
1906, graduated at Bowdoin College in
1928, studied law, and was admitted to the
bar in 1927. In 1929 he removed to Port
land, and in 1881 was elected TO the State
Legislature, in which he subsequently,
served several terms, and was on the
judiciary committee. In 1910 he was
elected to Congress, where he participated
largely in. the current debates. He earnestly
opposed the repeal of the then bankrupt
law. In 1843 he was nominated for re-
election to Congress, but declined, prefer
ring to return to the practice of his pro-
fession. In the meantime the votes of the
wing party in the Legislature were given
to him for vacant seat in the Senate
From 1916 to 1852 he was in private life,
devoting himself to professional pursuits,
| and during that period was associated with
Daniel Webster in an important case be.
| fore the Supeme Court at Washington, in
which he had to contend against the
weight and influence Of Judge Story's
opinion and decision against his client ia
the court below, and was successful, the
decision of that eminent judge being re-
versed. Once during this PERIOD in 1850,
Mr.. Fessenden was elected to Congress,
but his seat was given to his competitor
through an error in the returns. In 1858
| he was again elected to the State Legisla-
ture, and was chosen by one branch, the
Senate, as United States Senator the
House, being democratic, did not concur.
In 1854 he was again member of the
| Legislature, which was democratic in both
| branches. The Kansas-Nebraska question
having now become an important political
element, Mr.. Fessenden wa, chosen
United States Senator by both branches,
on the first ballot, by union of the wings
and free-soil democrats, which proved
preliminary step towards the establishment
of the republican party in Maine Mr.
Fessenden took his seat in the Senate
February %, 1854. and on the Sd of March
distinguished himself by powerful speech
against the Nebraska BILL In 1859 he was
unanimously reelected as United States
Senator, and after the resignation of Mr..
Chase as Secretary OF the Treasury he was
appointed to and accepted that important
position, but did not hold it long. He
was then again elected by the Legislature
of his State to the Senate. Mr.. Fessenden
held an exalted rank as clear headed and
logical debater, and commanded the res
pect of his political opponents by his com
paratively liberal ideas and bearing

Remark able Fence,

The fencing around the site of the new
postoffice building at New York opposite
the Astor House, was tleased sw days
since for two Iyears for ADVERT ing pur.
poses. The bids, over two hundred in
number, ranged from $500 to $15, 0OO.-
The successful competitor was regarded as
having paid price entirely too high to
save him from loss. That this idea was a
mistaken one is evinced by the fact that on
Tuesday last M. Bonner paid $500 for the
privilege of its exclusive use q single day.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sup.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Cuban Advices-Chinese Labor In Mis-
s0uBi-Texas POiitics-ytews Of GencraI
Clark.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Priyate advices
from Cardenas, Cuba, received here, de
pict the condition of the American resi-
dents in that locality in respondent terms
It seems that the United States consul at
that port left there in July last, and since
his departure the affairs of the consulate
have been transacted by Cuban whose
sympathies are said to be with the Span
ish. The result is that the Cuban patriots
and American merchants, as we'll as all
other classes of residents who do not sup
port the existing Spanish rule on the
island, are subjected to many annoyances,
of which they will soon make due COM
plant to the State Department.
! 1t is ascertained here that the contractor
for the erection of the railroad bridge over
the Missouri river, which is intended to
connect the Missouri and Iowa railroads
directly with the Union Pacific railroad,
has been notified by the laborers of that
locality that he will not be allowed to en-
ploy Cinnamon for that purpose. He has,
nevertheless, made contracts in San Fran
cisco to obtain Chinese laborers, and in
tends to bring them to Omaha very soon.
General w. 7. Clark, formerly adjutant
general of the old army of the Tennessee,
under Mcpherson, had an interview with
President Grant to-day, by invitation, du.
ring which the latter made many inquiries
regarding the political and commercial
condition of Texas, in which State Gen.
Clark now resides. In reply to an asser-
ton that Gov. Hamilton, the conservative
candidate for Governor, has frequently
claimed. that he was supported by the ad-
ministration, President Grant declared
most positively that he endorsed Davis,
the radical candidate. If the President
makes any such declarations as this in re-
gard to candidates before the people, in
any State, he is interfering unnecessarily.
He also declared that he would rather vote
for Thockmorton, or any other outspoken
democrat, than for Hamilton under pres
ent circumstances. He also said "Gov-
ernor Hamilton has gone over to the rebels,
but that is no reason why l should.
The apparently unanimous nomination
of Judge Dent as conservative candidate
for Governor of Mississippi attracts con-
siderable attention here, as it is we'll known
that a number of prominent democrats OF
that State are still Of opinion that an out
and out democratic nomination should be
made. They say that, as the administra-
ton has finally declared itself in favor OF
tie radicals ~, the prospects of conser-
vative success are decidedly slim. They
will, however, support Judge Dent, and
claim that he will be elected by at least
twenty thousand majority. DATA.

Cheap Coal,

A letter from Chicago says There is
hope of cheaper coal from a new quarter
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad runs
throug b the rich mineral region of West
Virginia, and the coal is said to be better
for isteam and gas than that mined else
where. It is sent as far north as Montreal,
and is used in Boston and New York by
the gas companies. The coal can be
brought to this city by either the Great
Eastern or Michigan Southern route. The
latter company are preparing to erect an
immense dock at Sandusky, and next
spring will see large quantities of coal
brought to Chicago by lake from that
point, at rates that will bring it into com.

INTERESTING STATIsTICs.-A friend has
furnished us with the following statement
of tho value of merchandise exported from
this port during the year 1916, and shipped
from Fayetteville during the same period,
which will prove interesting as relic of
the business history of the city then and
for the purpose of comparison now. At
that time no doubt Wilmington drew the
greater portion of her produce through
Fayetteville, as it was long years before
railroads were even thought of here, and
water afforded about the only means of
transportation and communication with
the interior. Fayetteville was then the
business centre, drawing its trade from far
back into the interior and serving as the
principal and almost only point of supply
for Wilmington. These statistics show
what Fayetteville was in by-bone days,
and give interesting evidence of the in.
