store. Three weeks ago he left Ostensibly

merchants gave Morse a thousand dol
lars, with which to buy goods for him,
and accepted a mortgage on Morse's stock
OF goods TO secure money entrusted. No
goods or advices Of shipments reaching
here. Mrs. Morse was approached, and
at once surrendered the store keys TO
the mortgager, and left town Friday morn
ing. Claims of other creditors OF about
two thousand dollars have since come
in. Before leaving Morse withdrew his
deposit OF about fifteen hundred dollars
from the bank, and took with him three
heavily laden trunks. His store is now
in the sheriff's hands. The losses will fall
on wholesale dealers In Lynchburg, Bal
timore and Richmond. Our people are
convinced that Morse was a sharper and
a shrewd rascal and carefully laid his
plans for this swindle-

In the Senate to-day bill was introduced
IN unity higher education In the state,
and TO make the State University the
apex of all higher education; also a Dill
To incorporate the board of trustees OF
the Baptist State Convention. Bllls passed
their third reading in the Senate to in
corporate the Bank Of Weldon ana the
Bank of Laurnburg. In the House OH
was introduced to excuse men over Sixty
years old from serving as jurors con-
sheraton of the Homestead bill was re-
sumed and after several hours debate
was again postponed till next Tuesday
IL is learned to-day that the legislative
committee on cities and towns have unan-
imously decided TO report adversely the
bill TO extend the corporate limits OF the
CITY of Raleigh. 1t was clearly shown TO
the committee that charging the cor
porate limits would probably make the
city Republican, and it is almost certain
that the bill will be killed in the Legis-
lature.
There has been much discussion to-day
as to the real effect of the action Of the
caucus on public printing last night. A
committee was instructed to have the
printing done at the lowest actual cost.
and the matter was placed entirely in
their hands.
Some express the opinion that the COM
mittee have authority TO let out the print
ing contract with the bonus attached but
the prevailing opinion is that the action
Of the caucus completely aboishes a mid
die man and the bonus for all time.

Born in Turkey, but not Turk.
Mr.. Hagoppas Mardirosian, who
operates the Primitive Turkish loom
in the window, is a native OF Ar
menia and was born not very tar
from Mount Ararat. The Arme-
mans are subjects Of the Sultan,
but they are race superior to the
Turks, being the oldest of civilized
people and the first to accept Chris
tianity. No telling what advances
in the arts they would have made
had not the superstitiouS Turks
handicapped them by prohibiting
the advent of steam or the practice
of any advanced methods Of manu-
facture. For an Armenian to ex-
hibit any startling invention is to
bring upon the individual the wrath
of the Sultan and imprisonment or
confscation Of property is apt to
follow.

The Board OF Aldermen.

The monthly meeting of the Board of
Aldermen will be held tomorrow evening
in the Council Chamber. One of the mat
ters tor their consideration will be the re-
commentator from the Grounds and
Buildings Committee that the use OF the
Armory Hall be rendered the ladies' for the
purpose of holding a memorial bazaar for
the benefit Of the Private Soldiers and
Sailors Monument and the Confederate
Museum.
The application received the unanimous
approval of the Common Council last Mon
dav night. and it Is generally believed that
the Board will heartily concur in the action
of the lower branch.
The officers of the First regiment will
meet next Wednesday evening to take some
action in the matter.

cial panic would take place while the
transition was being effected. no man
can say.
But the Populist and fiat money charac-
ter of the Dispatches argument comes In
at exactly this point. II. by making the
Az liz grain silver dollar exchangeable
at Washington for the gold dollar. Con-
gress can make the silver dollar as valua-
BILE as the gold dollar. why can 1t not
equally make 300 grain silver dollar
equally valuable by making It exchange
able for a gold dollar? The Popuiists and
fiat money men claim that It can. What
does the Dispatch think Of It?

THE FRENCH CONVICTIONS.

When the French court a few days back
DC ssed its sentences upon NM. DE Les
sens. Fontannes, Cottu and Eifel, we'll
wishers OF the Republic drew a sigh OF
relief and felt that Frances Republican
institutions had asserted themselves with
a virility that promised vigor and HE Tor
their future, but the recent action OF the
chamber of indictments greatly lessons
the satisfaction with which these convic-
lions were received. 1t is perfectly plain
that the great body Of public men VINO
control the affairs Of France were impn-
Gated in the Panama Job. To put 1t In
p,ain English. they received bribes from
the Panama company for Official acts
All these politicians who, from the stand
roint of France. are the detestable char
acters. are let off, whilst the law is made
10 aim It's blows at officials Of the com
psny only. The bribe- takers, who were
the officials OF the State. with whom
France is most concerned. go scot free.
Whilst the bribe-givers. who are only or
binary criminals, receive the full penalty
OF the law.
There is a painful suggestion in this
that the law has been set In motion by
those who control the law. that It may
find scapegoats who will divert public
attention from themselves, and. II this
be the case, the convictions. instead OF
bringing hope to Republican Frances
we'll wishers, bring gle ON and disappoint-
ment.
The preliminary proceedings that have
since been taken against few politicians
90 but a short distance IN removing the
first bad Impressions. The prosecutions
were practically ended with the first con-
