The Coming Proportion.

The news from New York is that the
OLoorr- CLEVELAND committee have
gotten their plan of settlement nearly
into shape to submit TO the debt com
mission appointed by the State OF Nir-
pinia. "Due notice Of the steps about
to be taken will first be formally given
to the parties in interest and then ne
gotiations will be opened.
The plan that has been framed mas
already been approved by the leading
bondholders in this country and Europe,
and by their committee, and was a few
DAYS ago unanimously endorsed by the
Advisory Board, consisting of Messrs.
CLEVELAND, BAYABD, PHELPS, Coz, snd
WILLIAMS.
So tho creditors are preparing to ap-
proach Virginia witha suggestion looking
to complete settlement of all the ques-
tions at issue, aud there is the brightest
prospect we have ever had OF winding
up an ancient and worrying controversy.
Few or no coupons have been offered
for taxes this year. Those who under
took TO settle the debt put stop to that
business, therein showing sound sense.
Now, if they have been further guided by
practical and well-informed men they
will present scheme of funding which
will substantially accord with the often
declared position of this people.
IL is guessed that the new plan will ask
for the recognition of principal some
what larger than ourlegislative committee
conceded in the THORNTON BBArTHwArTE
conference, but that the rate OF interest
will be put rs low as 2per cent forat least
ten years then q for another term, and
then 3 for permanent rate-the bonds
to be Of long date, one hundred years II
we wish them.
As we understand the new 3's are not
to be touched. Theya are to be left alone,
which is exactly right. There is no rea-
son at all for bringing them into this
discussion. Their holders have accepted
the terms OF the State, and the State for
her part has regularly paid interest on
them, and SO they are entitled to I'M
munity in the coming controversy.
We shall be delighted to have before
us plan which the people can approve.
Whether the one proposed will fulfill
orr hopes remains to be seen after it has
been examined in all of its details. If
the committee have consulted the distin-
guished Virginians whose names we have
heard mentioned in this connection, it is
fair to suppose that they have framed a
plan which will meet the objections that
will be surely urged against the slightest
departure from the RIDDLEBERaER bill
In other words, they know the difficulties
and must have some plan for overcoming
them.
They will not make an offer merely to
have it refused.
We feel sure that their design Is to
come to settlement, and we tell them
that they ought to close the matter up
this time.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dsps'ch.l
SCOTLAND NECK, Dec. 10, 1890.
There is rumor about Littleton, In this
county, that railroad will be bnilt TO
the Punalea Springs, thence to the town
of Halifax. 1t will be wholly in Halifax
county.
The people OF the Littleton section are
anxious for a new county, and will make
efforts at the next Legislature to get 1t.
Halifax county is too large, and the peo-
pie are put to great Inconvenience IN
many parts in going to court. The court
house is not in the centre, and hence the
desire on the part of many OF the people
for new county.

The problem is whether Virginia shall
dispose of her right to the land under
water by sale or lease. There are other
questions, but this is the chief one
Richmond Dispatch.
This refers to the treatment OF the
oyster question in this state. A sale or
long lease is conceded on all sides to be
the only practical way Of restoring and
preserving the oyster. The Tidewater
voters object to either. The question is,
Can the party deal with the subject from
the shoulder. and follow business mo
thods rather than the usual timid politi-
cal methods in tresting il ? Oysters and
politics do not blend to the advantage Of
the oyster. --NorJoik Landmark.

The Farmers.

The following note explains itself. We
said something last week on the subject
OF the proposition to convert the farm
ers' alliances into third party. We
need not say more just now. We are
anxious TO see the farmers desert the Re-
publican party, and still hope that there
is a prospect of their doing so. But we
are not willing yet to turn our back upon
the grand old Democratic party.

Captain John G. Potts, q veteran of the
Confederate war and for some time past
a resident OF Charlotte, died at his resi-
dence this morning at 8 o'clock from a
pistol-shot wound in the head. 1t is not
certain whether bis death was the result
of an accident or was brought about de-
liberately 10y his own hand. Early THIS
morning Captain Potts arose and went
down into his kitchen. Some OF the
members of his household shortly alter
wards had occasion to follow HIM there.

on the floor near him. He was still
breathing but did not regain conscious
ness before death. He wore bis hat at
the time the shot was fired. The bullet
entered above the hat band on the right
side and ranging downward through me
brain shattered the skull behind the LETT
ear. No motive for the deed can be
assigned.
John t. Butler, for thirty-fve years q
leading ieweller OF this town, died at his
home here this morning.

The wholesale plumber of the oyster

less the same shall have been planted in
some private oyster-beds in North Caro-
lima, for at least two years prior to re-
moyal. and in no case shall 1t be lawful
70 remove any shell-oyster out of the
State under two and a half inches IN
length, nor to buy or sell oysters under
that length, unless for planting IN prl-
vate oyster-beds here.
THE TIME.
The act will also make it unlawful to
take from the waters of North Carolina
any oysters between May LIST and Octo-
Der lst OF each year from the natural
beds, except for the purpose OF return
ing them to be planted in some OF the
private oyster-beds in North Carolina.

Mr.. Prr1ER's AMENpMEET.

Mr.. Butler spoke in support of the
amendment which he had suggested
some days ago, providing that super
visors. canvassers, and other election
officers are to be regarded as ministerial
and not az judicial officers.
Mr.. Hoar opposed the amendment,
saving that the officers would take their
character from the functions imposed
upon them.
A long and uninteresting discussion Of
the matter took place and had not come
TO close when the Senate proceeded to
executive business and, at $50 o'clock,
adjourned.
