elected republican county court. But
the people Of this county are too intel
ligent to be much influenced by the
buncombe OF the Democrat. The repub-
lican county court was elected, and the
result is handsome gain to the tax
payers. Here are the levies for four
years.
REVENUE ON 800. Poll tax.
1878. 10 mills. 5000
1879. ... ~ 400
1880 0.........-..I1s 800
1881 ........... Z" zoo
Now in 1879 it will be noticed that
the levy was ~ mills, but that
year there was no levy for
interest upon any county bonds, ex-
cept the Normal, while this year tax
has been levied to pay the interest on
all county bonds, and still the levy
falls below that of 1873. In fact, in
some of the townships the tax this year
will he less than one half what it was
last year, while the poll tax IS reduced
from 5000 to 800 per head. Yet
this is the first republican court
we have had for four years. Com
ment Is unnecessary.
Areporter has been canvassing the
opinions of eminent New York poll
ticians. A well known friend of Mr.
Conkling is reported to have said: IL
have greatly regretted that there have
arisen any differences between Mr..
Conkling and the president as l think
it will have bad effect on the party in
this state. There are state officers
and full legislature to be elected in
November, and, being an off year, the
republicans are always apt to poll a
light vote. The two parties are SO even
ly divided in this state that a light
republican vote means a democratic
victory. We cannot afford to lose the
election this year and quarrel IN the
republican ranks will be apt to lead to
that result. think in this case the
senator has pursued an unwise course.
Ii he could not have induced the pres
ident to withdraw Mr.. Robertsen's
name he should have allowed the nom-
ination to be confirmed without open
opposition. as the president showed a
disposition to recognize MIR, Conkling
in making other appointments. There
are great many offices to be filled
in this state during the presidents
term. President Hayes made very
few changes, re-appointing Mr.. Conk-
ling's friends in most instances. Now
If Mr.. Conkling makes war on the ad-
ministration these offices will be filled
with persons whom he cannot control,
and he will be unable to make up for
the loss of that patronage. He has
now four-fifths of the men in the Gus
tom-house. He cannot expect to re.
tam them under such circumstances
He made up for the loss Of patronage
during Hayes term by combination
with the democrats but it is improba-
BILE that he can do that in future. His
own term expires with the presidents.
Therefore he cannot depend upon the
next administration. That is why |
think he has made a mistake"

thing which the Duke has before done into the

incredible, and certainly secured the success
of tine day, of which at one time everybody ex-
cept himself despaired One of his aides-de-
camp told me this morning that he took his

that he would never move-and never did

Everybody was killed or wounded about him;
but he is happily unhurt. One is afraid to in

been so inexpressibly horrible. No words can
do anything like justice to the valor of our

pasturage for fat cattle, and therefore it has
been given to people who love the petite
culture, who multiply faster than their
means, and who have special distaste or
incapacity for the life of mariners, fisher
men or sea-going traders. There is one
great race in the world which does not un-
derstand or like the Keltic genius, specially
hates their faults, is blind to their many vir-
tues, has objects and wishes essentially diff
ferent from theirs; so that race is bound by
inexorable political geography to conciliate
or govern Irishmen. The land is one in
which cereals should not be grown, so the
effort of centuries has been to grow cereals.
There is one edible which will grow there
easily, which the people like, and which
will, like rice, support excessive numbers;
so the potato alone,- among edibles, is
stricken with deadly disease. The very
fishes swarm around coast where the men
are by nature no fishermen and belong to a
kingdom in which the majority think that
encouragement or compulsion to fish is
rather a childish absurdity. The people
have special domesticity, and it keeps
them over-numerous; special love of their
home, and it keeps them always poor; a
special patriotism, and it blinds them utter

The Reassembling of Congress

The Reassembling of Congress.
Congress has got to work again and has
started off as if it really intended to accom-
plish something. The Democratic leaders of
the House would seem to have become pos
sessed of good deal of realizing sense' dur
ing the holiday vacation. For they refrained
altogether from fllibusting sterday, wasted
no time on buncombe bills and make consider.
able progress on measure-the Interstate
Commerce actin which the business interests
of the country are deeply interested. We sub
NIT to our political opponents that the best
way to reorganize the Democratic party is to
persevere in the well doing which they inaugu-
rated in Congress yesterday. Democracy can
not regain its old place in the hearts of the
people by public meetings devoted to the pass
ing of uncommonly good resolutions or by any
cognate schemes. 1t must bring forth, not
resolutions, but fruit meet for repentance be-
fore it will be trusted again by the country.
This Interstate Commerce bill is we'll cal
culated to tax the law-making ability of Con-
gress to the utmost. 1t is designed to prevent
discrimination in the charges for carrying the
same class of freight from State to State, COM
pei the great corporations to treat all customers
alike and to adjust what may be called the bal
ance OF material power in this great land of
countless and colossal activities. The task is
simply tremendous, and if the present Con-
gress succeeds in accomplishing it the achieve
ment will cover multitude of their sins.
Mr.. Reagan, Chairman of ihe House Commit
tee on Commerce, is strongly urging his sub
stitute for the original bill. The bill as it
came from the committee provided for three
Railroad Commissioners. Mr.. Reagan is op-
posed to such provision, arguing that the
Commissioners would lean toward the interests
of the corporations and against those of the
general public. 1t is to be hoped that out of
the two measures, the original and the substi-
tute, may come law containing all that is
soundest in each. There is substantial agree
ment among those who feel the importance of
having such measure passed, upon what its
leading features ought to include, and if there
is not too wide difference among them in re-
gard to details there is no good reason why a
bill should not go through before the fourth of
March.
The passage of the Army Appropriation bill
after debate of only three hours was another
indication that Democracy has turned over
new leaf. There have been sessions in the
near past when the announcement of that bill
would have been the signal for the appear
ance OF no end of mischief "riders." But the
bill went through yesterday unassailed
by any such foolishness. But of infinite
ly more importance to our whole people

Gallagher is satisfied. The facts are these:
Gallagher was the President of a dramatic
club and wrote piece for them. 1t called for
nine persons and everybody in the cast ex-
cept Gallagher considered that he or she had
the worst part, and that it was made so ON
purpose. At first they didn't propose to play,
but finally decided to do so, and concocted
plan to punish Gallagher. He played the he
ro, and in the first act said farewell to his
mother and went off to sea, and when she
parted with him she contrved to wrench his
head and scratch his nose on pin fixed in the
shoulder of her dress for that purpose. That
eased her mind, but disturbed his; but he SUBJ
mitted. In the next act he appeared on ship
board and had to be knocked down by the cru
ell captain, who hit him so earnestly with be-
laying pin that it nearly killed him. And then
when he headed the mutiny and cried to the
mutineers, "Follow mel! somebody opened a
trap and he ignominiously fell through it and
got terribly guyed by the audience. He was
awful mad, but determined to conquer in spite
of the disaster, and so came up and went on
with the play. In the third act he was to have
terrible combat with the villain of the play
and whip him. Mr.. Hencoop Smy the played
the part. He was satisfied that he had the
worst part In the piece, and that Gallagher
made it so to spite him. Gallagher, as he
clinched him, cried, "Vil!ain, I'll beat your
life out in two seconds" But he didn't. The
villain was the stronger man, and the way he
lathered Gallagher about the stage was awful.
When it came to the point where the villain
was to cry ''Let me up, I'm crushed!" he had
Gallagher jammed under the table and was
beating him with a chair-leg, and of course
his speech and Gallagher's reply, II will not
spare your life!' sounded absurd. Before the
villain consented to be overcome, he had got
the audience to shrieking with laughter and
had beaten Gallagher black and blue all over.
Gallagher went home terribly enraged, and
the rest of the company were delighted. The
piece was to be played next night and Gala
CHER reported himself too ill 10 appear. But
he sent a substitute. That substitute was a
prize-fghter under an assumed name. He
hugged the mother so In the parting scene,
that he nearly killed her and pulled her false
hair off, accidentally. He threw the cruel
captain down the trap. He hurt all the other
actors and in the fight with the villain mopped
the whole stage with him and hurled him
clear through the back flat. The company and
scenery were completely wrecked, confusion
reigned, and Gallagher sat in front and
laughed till he nearly died. Revenge is sweet!

The people of Louisiana have been trying
to draw immigration into that State, but the
effort has been from the first failure. The
New Orleans Times gives three reasons for
this: That those who have land to sell ask
too much for il; a feeling existing in other
sections OF the country that there is much
lawlessness in the State, so that there is not
that freedom of thought and opinion which
is desirable; and that very little is known of

WARNINGS of danger ahead in the finan
cial world are being sounded on all hands
by conservative writers on monetary mat
tiers. The London Economist, the best fl
nancial authority in the world, says that the
upward movement in prices in this country
is too rapid to be stable, and cautions the
holders Of securities that they are likely to
embarrass their resources by over conf
dence. "There is only one trustworthy
check" the Economist says, ''to such an
outbreak of speculation as the markets now
appear ripe for, and that is material rise
in the value of money!
