North Carolina,

Mr.. P. T. Wolf, now a resident oi
Chatham county, North Carolina,
writes Of that section as follows:
Chatham County lies contiguous to
the Long-leaf Pine Belt and includes
a small strip of it along the southern
edge, but the greater portion Of it lies
in the Piedmont section, or Oak Up
lands. 1t is drained by the Cape Fear
River and is one Of the largest counties
in the State, containing 800 square
miles. The uplands are susceptible of
a high state Of cultivation, while the
valleys along the streams are very rich.
The greater part of the soil is red clay
OF sandy texture on the surface with
clay sub soil which is known as the
most valuable farming land in the
Piedmont section. Wheat, corn, oats.
rye and all kinds of grain and vegeta-
hles grow to perfection on these lands.
More cattle and sheep are found in
Chatham than in any other county
IN the State. This fact proves that t
is well adapted to stock. raising. No
where can clover and all kinds of
grass be cultivated better than in
Chatham. The county still has So2, 500
acres of unimproved lands mostly in
original forests of oak, hickory, poplar,
red cedar, pine, cherry and blac,;
walnut, thus giving it unsurpassed
facilities for manufacturing. Two large
rivers cross its territory with a fall Of
from 500 10 400 feet, developing
force OF more than 10000 horse power.
The county has three railroads
We have I35 public schools and
about 100 churches of all denomina-
tons. The people are educated, re-
fined and hospitable. Politics and
religion are never questioned.
Plttsboro, the county site Of Chat
ham, lies "a miles south west of
Raleigh, the State Capital. Previous

They Clamor for Crabs,

The Crisiield (Md) Times utters a lu-
gubrous note compounded of protest and
Indignation against the law OF this Com
monwealth which forbids non-residents
of Virginia from catching crabs within
our territory 1t considers the enforce
ment of that law great hardship and
outrage. and evidently much fears that
receive great blow If our course be
persisted in.
Well, We can tell the Times that II is
going to be persisted in. The highest
the line between Virginia and Maryland
is. and public sentiment in Virginia is in
favor of a fearless and rigorous execu-
ton OF our fishery laws Too long we
have allowed marauders from other States
to come into our waters and set at de-
fance our laws and law officers. This
thing will not be countenanced any longer.
IT is dscreditable to this Commonwealth
to permit its laws to be wantonly broken,
so long as we have the means 10 en-
force them.
If we understand public sentiment in
Virginia, 1t is that cur laws relating to
fisheries must and shall be observed
hereafter, no matter what the cost Our
people have grown excessively tired OF
hearing of depredatlons OF Marylanders
and others upon our territory. 1t must
cease, or those who will take the law
| into their own hands must make up their
| minds to abide the consequences. how
ever serious those consequences may be.
A great deal OF ridlcule has been
brought upon us by our seeming ina
hlity, or unwillingness, to put stop to
piratical incursions into our waters. Ger
tainly. we have been very lenient to Of
tenders. But that day has passed. The
courts have established Virginia's claim
as to the line in Pocomoke sound, and
now nothing Is left to non-residents but
to obey our laws II they would keen out
of trouble
The laws OF Virginia are going to be
enforced hereafter. and the Crisiield
Times would do well to acquaint its
readers with this information.
II non-residents have any plausible
claim 10 be allowed TO fish In Pocomoke
sound. they should cease their depreda-
tons and present their petition 10 the
General Assembly at its next session,
which we think will be early this winter.
Then they can be patiently heard. But
marauding and pirating expeditions in
our waters have got to stop. This is
the voice OF our people. and they Will
sustain the Governor without stint OF
money or men to vindieate the power OF
this Commonwealth 10 enforce its laws
in Pocomoke sound. just as effectively as
IL enforces its laws in Richmond.

A Trio Of Free Coiners.

Ex-Speaker Reed. of Maine; Congress-
man Cannon. Of Illinois, and Congress-
man Burrows. Of Michigan. are reported
to have Il leaning towards the PROPOSE
ton to provide by law for the free COIN
age OF silver. These men are the leaders
OF the Republican party in the House of
Representatives.. or We might say in the
United States. and their desertion of the
Republican camp for the Democratic
camp would be notable event. However.
this story is SO wanting in probability
that we shall not waste much time upon
1t. The gentlemen named are blmetallists
after the manner OF Mr. Sherman, no
doubt. That Is. they are willing TO coin
any quantity or number OF silver dollars
having bullion enough In them to render
each OF them equal in value to a gold
doliar-a KIND of bimetallisis whose
remedy for the disease contracted in
1873 is worse than the disease itself.

Mr.. Hslstead and Mr.. Cleveland.

Mr.. Murat Halstead's letter to- the
Dispatch. which we publish this morn
ing, on our first page, eighth column.
Is an interesting one. IL concerns
the statement. so often made, that Mr..
Cleveland had seen and approved be-
fore it was reported TO the Chicago
convention the resolution on the tarin
question which was rejected by that
body. Mr. Halstead Is man OF 80 much
influence and prominence that we may
now confidently expect the matter to
be fully explained by some one near TO
Mr. Cloveland--that is. If Mr.. Halstead
Is mistaken. If he IS not mistaken. the
matter will doubtless be left as 1t Is.
But Mr.. Halstead's arguments are In
themselves almost conclusive. Mr.. Cleve-
land had private wire extending from
his house at Gray Gables to Chicago.
OF course. he used this wire; and OF
course the tariff resolution was sent TO
him for his approval. and he passed
upon II. lie 1t was that had made the
tariff question the overmastering issue
between the two parties. Under these
circumstances. II is incredible that he
had not passed upon the committees
tariff resolution before 1t was reported
TO the convention.
Mr.. Halstead contends. too. that as
Don Dickinson, MIR. Bayard, Mr.. Villas,
Colonel Jones. Mr.. Whitney, and Mr.
Fairchld, were all well Informed In the
promises, 1t would be ''preposterous" to
assume that Mr. Cleveland was not
equally well-informed.
Mr.. Halstead says that as meeting
on the money question was held and the
money plank agreed upon. there can be
no doubt that a like meeting decided
upon the tariff resolution. Mr.. Neal had
not been admitted to these meetings. we
suppose, or he would not have thwarted
the Presidents plans.
Finally and convInclngly Mr.. Cleve-
lands letter of acceptance furnishes
proof that he had approved the tariff
resolution we are now considering.
To the public this IL a most interest
ing subject 1t is rendered doubly in
terestng by the fact that Mr. Cleveland
will probably soon be asked to approve
the new tariff bill.

As to an Extra Legislative Session

The State newspaper, in a local article
yesterday. advanced a number of reasons
why an extra session of the General AS
sembly Will probably be necessary In the
course of the year.
Ever since the two houses resolved TO
submit the petit larceny amendment to
the Constitution to the people In Novem-
an extra session was inevitable. The
people will certainly vote AYE" on the
amendment, and then they will straight
way insist that the present enormous
drainage upon our Treasury to try petit
larceny cases by jury shall cease. And 10
put a stop TO all that cost new laws in
conformity to the amendment will be
needed. Here at once is reason enough
for assembling the General Assembly in
extra session some time this winter.
1t may be that decision of our courts
as 10 the validity of the Walton election
law may make an extra session Of the
General Assembly necessary before the
time Of the November election. This
would be reSrettable indeed, but ii may
be unavoidable. Nor would this extra
session relieve us of the necessity of an
extra session TO pass new petit-larceny
laws.
The State speaks OF our troubles with
Maryland. the demand for a vote on
calling constitutional convention. &c.
as amording other reasons for an extra
session Of the General Assembly.

THIS THE BIG WEEK.
Closing Days of the Bazaar to BE Made

Polk Miller and his combination were
the attraction at the First Regiment
bazaar last night and one of the largest
audiences yet assembled in Sanger Hall
gathered there and laughed themselves
sick over Folks inimitable and amusing
Characterization of the cornfield niger.
The bazaar has been a decided success
from every standpoint, whether financial
or otherwise, and the members OF the
regiment are jubllant over the assurance
which it has given them that they will
soon be able to don the gray. Bad
weather has nterfered some little with
the fair, but on the whole It has been
literally patronized.
The ladies who have taken entire charge
OF the entertainment and by their indie
fatigablc work have made the bazaar one
of the most attractive places in the city,
met yesterday afternoon, and, at the
suggestion of the officers Of the regiment,
decided to keep the bazaar running
throughout this week, instead OF closing
as had been originally intended on Thurs
day night.
Notwithstanding that a large number
OF articles have already been disposed

he proposes TO give at the bazaar this

PRAYERS Of DIR. Hoge.

II Or. Hoge had not composed any
thing else. the prayer that he offered at
the grave OF the Hon. Jefferson Davis
and that which he offered at the unveil-
ing OF the Soldiers and Sailors monu-
ment would entitle him to fame.
A proper prayer for public occasion
must combine two elements: 1t must
be appropriate In the sense Of adapta-
ton to time. place and circumstance; 1t
must also be devotional In spirit. a
prayer is an address TO Deity and not to
an audience. The union of the spiritual
and secular. though necessary, is not
easy, but pr. Hoge accomplishes It better
than any other man whom we know.
