The House.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The House went
into committee of the whole on the tariff
bill. Wilson, of Minnesota, denounced the
protective system. He was opposed to the
present tariff because. while it enriched a
few, it prevented an expansion OF our in
dustry and because it was especially unjust
to our agricultural interests. The import
mt question presented now was whether
the wealthy classes should be allowed to
levy tribute upon the Industrial classes.
McComas, of Maryland, said Cleveland g
message and this founding called Mills bill
had common purpose. Both used the
surplus as a fulcrum wherewith TO apply
the free trade lever to dislodge the protec-
tive system. Every free trader applauded
both.
.Lanham of Texas said in view OF the con-
ditions which surrounded Congress and in
view OF the intrepid stand taken by the
President he could not see how any Dem
ocratic Congressman could afford to an.
tagonize the general proposition for reduc-
ing the taxation.
Allen OF Massachusetts speke at length in
favor OF a protective policy.
Caruth OF Kentucky characterized pro-
tective tariff as the most insidious enemy.
1t walked in silence and under cover, and
while it pretended to be giving the country
protection, it was in reality stealing it's sus-
tenance and destroying it's life. In conclu-
sion he replied to Kelley's criticisms upon
Kentucky, and then paid an eloquent trib-
ute to that State.
The committee then rose. A Senate bill
was then passed to establish an additional
land district in Oregon. The House then
took a recess until o'clock.
There were but half dozen members
present at the House at the evening session.
Stewart, of Georgia, spoke against protec-
tion, and Davis, OF Massachusetts, in it's
favor.

As will be seen in another column,
the old reliable cotton wcighcr, Jas. b.
Shelton, proposes to.reducc the weigh.
ing and marking of all cotton brought
to u market for fifteen cents. jim
has always given satisfaction and, no
doubt, his action in this matter will
be duly appreciated by the Farmers
Alliance and the farmers generally.
AS the expenses on cotton brought
TO our town will be reduced to the
minimum, and with our merchants
reaching out..into other counties for
trade, and paying Columbus and Me.
ridian prices for cotton, we can CONT
IDENTIFY look for a large increase in our
cotton receipts another year.

resolved to weigh and mark all cotton

Circuit Court,

The February Term of the Circuit
Court tor Noxubcc County. was begun
last Monday, his honor, Judge Rogers,
presiding. There was, probably, a lar
ger attendance than usual of parties
litigant, lawyers, witnesses and people
generally. After II grand jury was
cmpanelled and Mr.. Noah Scales was
appointed foreman, his Honor dcliy-
cred an impressive and exhaustive
charge.
Deputy shorils r serving papers
at q lively rate, and they arc having a
terrible time of it over the loWer roads.
Parties from the prairies desert the
roads and travel by-paths through the
fields aud woods, and, if there is any
truth in flying rumors, il is all on ac-
count of eating peaches, cherries and
the like. put up In Il decOction popu-
larry known as brandy. Parties nre
fortunate who can come 10 court on
the trains, and some, living near the
railroad, prefer walking the track to
coming On horseback.
The Ford cases engaged much of the
time of the Court. In one case there
was a jury and verdict for the defend
ant. w. Ford, and this virtually de-
rides n number of cases. In the last
case there was a compromise verdict,
part given for Ford, and part for Lcin-
kaut Il Strauss.
In one of the Bracey cases, n vcr-
diet was rendered for the county a.
gainst Mcssrs, Lewis, Pierce, Stokes
