The Number of OfHcials Removed

Inc Number OF OfuCialS Removed.
The President has made quite large
number of appointments during the year
that he has been in Office. There are about
1000 offices known as Presidential Offices
that is Offices the nominees TO which have
&c be confirmed by the Senate. The Senate,
Of course, has nothing to do with the
minor offices. OF these 1000 the President
has filed about 900 with men OF his own
choice. or these 300 men between l, 200
and 1900 were appointed to vacancies
caused by death, or the expiration of the
terms OF the Incumbents, and 643 TO va
cancies caused by removals. Those
nominated to fill vacancies not caused by
removals have been promptly confirmed.
but those nominated TO fill vacancies
caused by removals have been hung up in
the committees. The controversy be-
tween the President aud the Senate is
over the 643 nominations. The President
says that he removed those whom the 643
are to succeed for cause, and the Republi-
can Senators say he must show what the
cause was.
1t is noticeable that there have been
more removals in the North than in the
| South. For the entire South there have
| been only ia removals, and in the North
469. There have been more removals in
New York than any other State, the num-
Der being "a, and the fewest in Nevada,
the number being only 1. In Georgia only
have been removed, in Florida only s,
and in South Carolina only 6. The Re-
publicans ought not TO complain Of the
number of removals. The greatest con-
sideration has been shown them.

The New York Real Estate Record has
this to say with regard to the investments
OF capital in buildings IN that city and
the collection OF building statistics:
''There is just now building movement
under way of unexampled proportions in
all the centres Of population in this ooun-
try. II the rest of the year ~ as prolific
of enterprises of this kind as the past
seven weeks have been, very nearly $50.
100000 will be expended In New York city
alone in the erection of warehouses, stores
and dwellings. II anything like this ratio
Is maintained all over the country, there
will be a change from floating 10 liked
capital Of more than $1,000, 100000 in the
year 1886. Unfortunately, on this point
we have no trustworthy figures. 1t il TO
be hoped that some time or other Con-
gress will authorize the Bureau OF Sta
tistics to collect the facts in regard to
this interest. the crop statistics are ex-
tremely valuable, and building statistics
would be much easier 10 collect. II
would advantage the building trade in
every way il II were known Just how
much lumber, brick, etc., was called for
annually on account OF new structures.v

PROGRESS OF THE CAPE FEAR
AND YADKINl VALLEY r. r.

Speaking of the progress of the
Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Rail
road, between Greensboro and Mt
Airy, the Greensboro Workman 9th
inst, says on authority of President
Gray.
"Iron for the track laying has been
purchased in New York, to be shipped
to this point, and o force of one hundred
hands has been ordered to be brought
here to erect a stockade, and when this
is coompleted-sayby the Goth of April
the work of track laying will be com
menced. This track laying, it is conf
IDENTITY believed, will not be interrupted
between this point and Dalton's, a dis
tanoe of fifty miles, and we have only to
await, if need be, the completion of the
grading between Dalton's and Mt. Airy.
This is excellent news, and excellent be-
cause reliable.' 2 ~
We take occasion to remark in
this connection that while President
Gray is not much on bluster and
buncombe, when it comes to good,
steady, persevering work he is there
every time.

THE FIRST IRON AND YARN.-The
first iron ore ever dug in this State
was taken from what is now known
as the B~arringer Bank, two miles
from Newton, about one hundred
years ago. This bank produces an
excellent quality of magnetic ore.
TT issaid that the first cotton spindle
ever run in the State was operated
by Michael Schenck in a small cot
ton factory on Walkers branch
near Lincolnton, about 80 years
ago:1The capacity of this factory
was twelve punches of yarn per day.

WEATHER SIGNALs.-Weathe signal
flags are now displayed daily from the
top of Smith & Browns drug store, they
having made arrangements with the
Signal Office in Washington to have
reports sent daily. The flags will be

the weather for the succeeding twenty
four hours. The signals read thus: flag
with blue ball in centre, general rain or
snow with blue star, local rain or snow +;
with blue crescent, clear or fair weather
with red ball, higher temperature; red
star, stationary temperature; red cres-
cent, lower temperature; black square,

The FIGURE N1NE.-A remarkable
popularity about the figure nine
may interest some of the younger
readers Of the Star. Multiply any
number of figures by nine and the
product ONE to nine. For in
stance, nine times nine are eighty
one, and eight and one are nine;
so nine times two r eighteen, and
eight and one are nine. Take the
figures 1854 for instance; multi
piled by 9 the product is 788O76.
Add these digits, the result is SO,
and six and three are nine. Take
any number Of figures you please
and multiply by nine, and the result
is the same-you can't get rid of
the figure g. Wilmington Star.
The COTTON OUTLoOK.-The New
York Commercial Bulletin (high au-
shortly in trade and commcrce) does
not anticipate any permanent rise in
the price of cotton. After a full sur
vey of the fields Of production and
consumption it concludes that "The
production of cotton has gone
on this year, with no regard what
ever to the general prostration Of
manufactures, here and abroad,
which necessarily curtails consump-
ton, Unless there should be a
prospect of a short cotton crop next
fall, of which there is no sign now,
it would not be strange if cotton
should decline still further before
the present surplus has cleared
away.-Rateigh Neeos and Observer.
Our YOUNG MEN GOING TO Work.
While passing through the furniture
factory this week, we were forcibly
struck with the class of young men
that have thrown off their coats
and standing collars and put on
instead a long hickory apron and
gone to work in good earnest.
Among others, we found Messrs.
Dolph Wilson, A. Hunt, James Nc
Dowell, Pink Henderson and Will
Chambers. This is a right step in the
right direction. The great secret
Of the North being heretofore SO
far ahead Of the South in all kinds
of manufacturing, was, everybody,
from the lowest to the highest,
engaged: in some useful employ
ment. But to see the sons of our
prominent citizens taking hold in
good faith is an indication that we
are beginning a new era when
young men will be respected and
honored the more by being masters
of some good and useful employ
ment.-Moryanton Star.
