The only material difference of opinion was, as
to whether the proposed measures of ship boun-
ties would answer the desired purpose Even
those opposing the navigation bOunties do not
hesitate to offer compensation for this in the
shape of bounties for ship-building to exceed
those provided by article of the law
With such authorities as above given for a
precedent in addition to those already estale
lished at home we believe it the duty of Congress
to take some decided action, with view to pro-
tecting and building up our own merchant ma
rine; and i'll order that Congress shall not be
remiss i'll the matter, tie people should see to it
that no opportunity be given our law makers to
forget that, as quoted by the German statesman
the Merchant Service is the handmade of all
industries, of agriculture, and commerce.

Total amount

The considerable subsidies allowed by the
English colonies mail lines are not included in
this statement. According to official reports from
sydney, they amount, for example, to e2O7 800
from the Australian colonies alone.
Italy according to the official reports of 1879.
expends 81 ,593,214 postal subsidies
The AustroIfungarian Empire, Belgium, and
Holland respectively expend 81 O34 s44 s157, ,436,
S63.111 on similar subsidies
And in another place, speaking of the benefits
derived from the granting Of subsidies remarks:
"The foundation to further substituted French
steam line has been laid simultaneously with the
promulgation of the law for granting general
privileges to the merchant service. In considera-
ton of the circumstance that the French flag is
not adequately represented in Australian waters,
that the share of the French trade to and from
Australia does not assume dimensions correspond
ing to the Importance of France, that new mar
lets We're to be opened there to French industry
and that the present moment was most favora-
bic one, France hal gained a footing in the erhi-
biton Of Sydney and IUelbourae; in view of all
these circumstances it was determined to open
subsidized line Of steamers from Finnce to australia
a
line would. for the present, arrange for thirteen
voyages there and back, per annum. and receive
for this Il subsidy to the amount of S6:S6 900 it
being reserved later to double the VOYAGES
with corresponding increase of subsidies The
following paragraph from the general motives of
the bill regulating the allowance OF subsidies
deserves mentioning:
90 England already has two steamship lines to
Australia; Hamburg will also shortly open one
The competition is becoming general and France
claims direct share In this promising enterprise.
III order to yieM proctjcM results these enterprises
cannot dispense ciM government aid, and this has
always been afforded in productive manner, as
soon as it was question of paving the way for
our traffic i'll distant markets. England has given
the example Of using mail steamers as the pioneers
for the creation expansion Of commercial rela-
tioas'
Some figures are discussed i'll aluding to the
effects of the opening of subsidized French lines
Thus, for instance, it was argued that the French
trade with Brazil, the Argentine Republic and
Uruguay, only amounted to SIS, 800, 900 before
the opening OF the subsidized steam lines from
Bordeaux to these countries whereas it had aftsr-
wards increased by 237 per cent and accordingly
reached S9l $4,000. The entire French trade
with Eastern Asia did not exceed S18,721 900 be-
fore the opening of the postal service to India
and China; of this S12,931 900 was with British
India, and only 81 ,S33,5OO with China, Cochin
China and Oceanica. In 1879 this trade reached
the sum of S772OOOG0, and Lyons had become
the emporium i'll Europe for Chinese and Japan
silks"

speaking of postal subsidies, says
"How important link the postal subsidies form
i'll the chain of privileges granted by France in

shown by the enormous sum of about 100000
which is annually expended by the State for the
purpose. These subsidies are distributed as fol-

1t is mentioned by way of example that on the
opening of the Suez Canal the subsidized French
mail boats from the Mediterranean proved to be
too dangerous competitors for the English line to
India; the English subsidy was on this account
at once increased by 100000.

Visiting Friends.

Pleased to have an agreeable call from
a number OF friends this week; among
them Capt. NJ. W. Page, of Oxford,
Capt. G. w. Ralney, of Kittrells, Mr..
Chas NJ. Walters, of Wake Forest,
Mr. D.. |. Fort, Mr.. Wslter r. Henry
ct al.
Capt. Page is a Wake county man.
and wa. an officer of Fishers ''SiSth''
Volunteers, at Bull Run. He isdoing q
good business. selling hardware at Ok
ford, and has 2 daughter in Ole OF the
excellent schools Of that town. Rail
road matters over that way are exciting
nuch interest, and considerable divi
sion of sentiment. But the effect upon
the prospects Of the town have been to
shoot up the price of real estate, until
Raleigh. herself. could not hold it
much higher. There is, however, a
fine future for the Metropolis Of the
yellow Leaf that cheers but not inne-
briates.
Capt Rainey says Kittrells has achiev
ed quite o reputation at the North a.
u mild. dry. healthful winter resort.
Da7is' hotel is vell-flled nearly all the
year. and the guests pronounce it equal
to the BEST in the country. The large
vsrandahs fronting the railroad have
been enclosed with glass widows, and
converted into a conservatory lined with
all manner of hot-house plants and
flowers. Provisions are brought from
the Norfolk truckers and New York
beef-markets, a sad reflection on
Raleigh. Boarding in the best rooms
reaches 800 per month. A daughter of
VIM. B. Astor, one of the millionest
~millionaires of New York spent last
winter at Kittrells. Rev. Mr.. Barnes
is endeavoring to establish a Boarding
School at the old Springs property.
Col. Geo. B. Hammett has removed
from kittrells to oxford.
Charlie Walters, a son of the highly
esteemed Prot. Walters, deceased, Is
KIN WI to be one Of the thrifty young
farmers of Northern Wake. The sec
ton from Neuse to Wake Fores- can
show as many, perhaps more high
priced farms, as any part Of the State;
the land averaging from SD to $50 per
acre. farm round. Mr.. Walters works 5
hands, and averages from S to 10 bales
to the hand but like all the world will
fall off nearly one half this year. He
says there was general regret at the
death of Miss Floy Johnson, whose re
mains were brought from Georgia to
Wake Forest last week. She was a
bright and estimable young lady.
