Especial telegram to tho Dispatch-l
RALRIaH, N. c., January a.
Every day there is regular delugc 81
petitions to the Legislature for the re-
peal Of the law imposing tax on pur-
chases made by merchants. 1t will no
doubt be repealed.
In tho Senate to-day the following
resolution was offered:
Resolped, That in the administration
Of his Office for the last six years Gov
ernor Jarvis has demonstrated his pos
session Of rare, statesmanlike qualities
Of unselfish devotion To duty; clear and
wdl-balanced judgment; preemInent
capacity to master and manage details ;
firm and answering principles Of rccti-
tude strong and vigorous intellect
uncommon, practical business talent
far-sighted conceptions Of plans for pub
lie good. and indomitablc perseverance
and energy in carrying them into effect,
as illustrated by the remarkable
progress made in the material
and educational development in this
State; that we cordially and earnestly
commend him to President Cleveland
for a position in his Cabinet, and we
will regard such an appointment not
only as wise selection of an able and
competent man, but as q deserved re-
coenition of the conservatism and devo-
ton to principle of the people of North
Carolina.
The speeches on this resolution were
admirable. All the Republicans spoke
earnestly in its favor. and it was unani-
mously adopted. The same was the case
in the House. Such compliment was
never before paid in this State. In
both houses the applause was nearly
incessant for half an hour or more.
The resolution will be spread upon the
minutes and copy sent to Grover
Cleveland.
Tomorrow at noon the bill to pen
sion wounded Confederate soldiers and
the widows of those killed comes up as
a special order. 1t will cause the most
interesting debate of the session. The
pressure is great for its passage.
In the Senate to-day resolution was
offered endorsing the Blair bill. 1t
will be discussed in day or two.
To-day Governor Scales received hun
dreds of callers. He was in his Office
all day.
fBy Associated Press.
RALEIGH, N. c., January 22.-To-
day both houses Of the Legislature by
q unanimous vote endorsed the admin
istration Of Governor Jarvis during his
six years term of Office, and recon-
mended him to President-elect Cleve-
land for Cabinet office. Many Repub-
lican members, white and colorcd. made
highly eulogistic addresses. saying their
constituents of all colors earnestly and
sincerely endorsed Governor Jarvis. 1t
is understood that the entire North
Carolina congressional delegation will
Join in the recommendation of the Legs

Fen,an,.m Considered Dad.

A London special Of the 2lst says
The non-committal speech made at Dub
lin last night by John O'Leary has led to
considerable speculation as to which
camp of the Irish party the ex-Fenian
leader will enter. Most of the people who
have studied the subject and who have
watched the recent course Of Stephen
O'Leary, Macadaras, and the other ex-
lies, believe that 0'Leary will cast his
lot with the Parnellites, and that Fe-
nianism is dead.

gagged, in addition to the soldiers, in the
work of exhuming the dead and rescu-
ing the survivors in the province Of Gu

THE POTOMAC SYNOD.

The Potomac Synod of the Reform
ed Church is in session at Chambers
burg, Pa. The Synod was opened on
Tuesday evening, Rev. VIM. Rupp,
of Manchester, Ind, preached the
ermon which was a most scholarly
one. Rev. j. F. Kieffer, D. D., of
Hagerstown, was elected President,
and Elder H. Writ, of Hanover, Pa,
Vice-Pres. The attendance is quite
full and the delegates all speak only
in kindest terms of their entertain
ment. The delegates from Martins
burg are most comfortably fixed at
the National Hotel, Mr.. Wesley, Pro-
prietor, whose pleasure it would seem
is to minister to the comfort of his
guests, and should any of the citizens
of Martinsburg visit Chainbersburg
at any time, we feel safe in assuring
them of having their wants well met
if they stop at the National. Up to
this writing nothing of special pub
lie interest has occurred, the Synod
having been largely occupied with
preliminary matters, except the ques-
ton of divorce, which was brought
up by a committee appointed at the
last sessions. This question called
forth quite a lively discussion. The
Synod expressed the opinion that
adultery is only scriptural ground fol
divorce, and to this directs the atten'
ton of her ministers and people.

HAGERsTowN. October 16.-This
morning while Mr.. Luther Bussard.
who resides about a mile from THU
place, with Mrs. George Heyser. was
crossing the track of the Shenandoah
Valley Railroad, near its intersection
with the Williamsport pike, his team
was struck by the south-bound pas-
senger train, which leaves here at 10:
80 a. M. The horse was carried about
twenty-five feet and landed dead on
one side Of the track, while the buggy
and Mr.. Bussard were hurled on the
other side, q short distance beyond.
Mr. Bussard was picked up neon
scious, with several very severe cuts
and bruises in his face and on his
head, and with his left arm badly
broken. The buggy was completely
wrecked. Mr.. Bussard has been ly-
ing most of the time unsconscious
since the accident, and 1t is said that
it will be necessary to amputate his
arm. No fault is imputed to the rail-
road employees. The man has died
since.

THE HERALp.


Much is said through the Pulpit and
Press, against the evils of intemper-
ance. and demoralizing effects of
Skating Kinks, yet there r other
evils equal as demoralizing in their
practice. One of the leading evils of
the present day is that of Fashion,
which may justly be termed the Fos-
ter Mother of vanity, the offai of
pride, and is worshlpped with a zeal
worthy ola Hindoo priest. No heather
God or Goddess has ever had more
Jealous followers than Fashion ; her
laws like those of the Modes and Per-
SLAMS must be obeyed, but unlikethem,
change as often as the moon, but vio-
late common sense frequently and
decency and comfort. 1t is OF
more importance for her worshippers
to appear happy than to be so; the
least murmuring or hating by a wor-
shipper is punished with expulsion
and ridicule of the fashionable COM
munity. If this Goddess fancies COM
parative nakedness for winter, or five
thicknesses of wooden for dog days,
she speaks and it is done if she orders
q bag full of notions or the hips, a
short cut of the neck or skirt, a trail,
q hoop, or balloon sleeves, a bonnet,
or FOOLS cap for the head, she is obey
ed by the fashionable ladies, and much
lauded by their beaux. If she orders
her male subject to support.a few
hairs on the upper lip, and to play all
the monkey shines ola coxcomb, with
chains dangling, rattan flourishing in
the breeze, they are quite as tractable
and docile, as the Feminine. The
evil of fashion may be traced from
the country to Philadelphia, thence
to New York, thence to Boston, thence
to Paris, and from thence to the Devil.
from whom she came. If this tyran-
nical huzzey would be content with
seducing the rich, she might have
some claims to generosity, but she
searches the cellars. the garrets, the
howell for victims, intruding into all
the avenues of life, scattering misery
far and wide. Let the Pulpita and the
Press, the two leading powers of our
happy Republic, give their influence
against this goddess of fashion. Better
far had we invite Chinese labor than
Paris fashion. M.

pursues q just, honorable and judi
cious course, meeting the wants of its
customers, in all respects, the ties OF
friendship between the subscribers
and the paper are as hard to break by
an outside thirty party as a link which
binds old friends in business or social
life. Occasional defects and errors in
a newspaper are overlooked by those
who have become attached to 1t
thr0ngh its pernsualfn r Years. They
sometimes become dissatisfied with IL
on account of something which has
slipped into its columns and may stop
taking it but the absence ofthe ia
miliar sheet at their homes and offices
for a few weeks becomes an insupport-
able privation, and they hasten to take
it again, and possibly apologize for
having it stopped. No friendship ON
earth is more constant than that con-
tracted by the readers for a journal
which makes an homes and earnest
effort to merit its continued support.
Hence a conscientiously conducted
paper becomes a favorite in the fami-
|ly.-ET.
