WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. icon
gressman-electJ John Fellows of New
York is here. He predicts the sue
cess of the Democratic party in the
Empire State this fail. He also pre-
diets victory for the National ticket
of that party next year. He refesed
to prophesy as regards the Speaker
ship, and does not know whether the
incoming delegation from that State
has mapped out line of policy or
not. The proba bilities are that
they have not done SO
The Richmond Times advocates
Carolinians to be memoralized in
Statuary Hall. 1t says editorially:
"Colonel Julian S. Carr, of Durham;
e citizen Of great wealth and still
greater liberality, has announced his
intention of defraying out of his own
means, the cost of an efgy of some
distinguished North Caroiinian of
the past to be erected in the Statu-
airy Hall of the House of Representa-
tives in Washington.
This is a very noble use of a large
fortune and should secure for Colonel
Carr, who has performed many other
acts of princely generosity, the CRATE
full appreciation of the people of his
State.
The Wilmington Messenger sug-
gests George E. Badger as the most
appropriate subject for the proposed
statue, esteeming him to be the grea t.
est man who has appeared in the his
tory of Il State which has been fertile
in many distinguished men, among
whom Andrew Jackson, Thomas H.
Benton, and James K. Polk, who re-
| moved to other commonwealth in
early life, hold a very conspicuous
place.
We shall venture to suggest instead
the name of Nathaniel Macon, whom
John Randolph, a critical judge of
men, pronounced to be the wisest
man he had ever known. That IA
nous North Carolinian was one of
the most unique of American sta tes-
men, being Il man of Roman simple
ity of character, pure, homely, sturdy,
vigorous, man who commanded
universal veneration, and who refec-
ted honor not only upon his State
and his country, but also upon HUI
man nature itself"
Col. Polk is here at the National.
He bitterly denies the charge of
cowardice at the battle of Winchester,
but if General CASTOR Lewis, who was
Col. of the regiment verifies the STORY,
/ don't think his denial will amount
TO much in North Carolina. He Ieaves
to night for California, which State
he regards as promising field for
the P. P. q. S. A.
A large number of visitors we're re-
ceived at the White House Saturday.
Among these was a committee of the
Colored Republican League, who
called upon the President and invited
him to attend this fall the Exposition
at Raleigh, N. c. The party was
composed of j. ". Poe, South Carroll
ma, chairman; S. E. Jones, District of
Columbia; secretary; DR.. S. 4. Sumby,
District of Columbia; Wilson Cary,
North Carolina; wv. Coles, Virginia;
Tillman Dorsey, and Reuben John
son, District of Columbia.
The colored delegates from \. G.
are taking quite important part IN
the ecumenical conference. The Pest

looking men in the body is J. J.
Moore, of Salisbury, n. c., of the
African Methodist Episcopal Zion
