OFFICIALS ARE PLEASED.

The report Of the success of the
bond call was received with general
satisfaction in the Senate in which
those who were doubtful about the
expediency of popular loan joined
as indicating confidence in the coun-
try's ability and Willingness to meet
its obligations. Some disposition was,
however, manifested on the part of
the doubters to await details before
expressing an opinion as to the com
plete success of the call, and especially
as to the number of bids at high rates.
The opponents Of bonds and those
who have been especially severe in
their condemnation of the syndicate
system were very much pleased, CON
Gliding that the number Of bids re-
ceived and the prices offered We're a
complete yindication of their course.

MORE PROSECUTIONS.
Durham is the Storm Centre of the
Worst of the Mad Race for Fees.

A gentleman from Hillsboro, who
was here yesterday, tells a story OF
more Durham outrages by the reye-
nuers He says that some days ago o.
Government distiller, as he was riding
into Durham with two kegs of whistey
marked to parties in Durham. was ar
rested. He told the parties who arrest
ed him THAT neither Of the kegs con-
tanned as much as five gallons, and he
was, therefore, not amenable TO the
law. When taken before the Commits
sioner he demanded that the whislSey
be measured 50 that ne could prove
that it was less than five gallons. The
Commissioner said, Life is too short
TO be measuring kegs Of whiskey," and
directed that the whiskey be poured in
to a barrel with other whiskey, SO that
it would be impossible even to estab-
fish the quantity. He added that the
people of his section approved the crit
icisms of the News and Observer upon
the revenue prosecutions.

beautifully colored illustrations of four
different flags of the Cnfederacy. The

NO MORE "SEIzuRES. .

For several days every time re-
porter asked the clerks in the revenue
Office what hauls the "red-legged grass
l<npers" had made, he has met with
Tho answer, mo more seizures to-day
At last it is known that the officials
have decided to give TO the press no
more particulars of seizures of block
ade whisikey, the unstamped or the
genuine moonshine."
Was this caused by the widespread
condemnation of the conduct of the
z. S. Marshal and his deputies?
Before this, for years it has been the
custom to give to the newspapers par
ticulars Of all seizures for violation
of the revenue law. Now this source
of information is cut off.
Was the number of seizures too large
and the oifenses too trivial?

A MoNsTRous VERDICT.
The Man Who Was Most Damaged is
Adiudged to Pay Damages to the
Other Man.

Other Man.
Some of the citizens of Raleigh will
remember man by the name of Pyur
Remington, who lived in Raleigh some
years ago. He afterwards rented land
from DR.. G.. l.. Kirby, of eoldsboro,
and abandoned it. DR.. Kirby took
charge, losing considerably by Remlng-
tons leaving. At New Hanover court
last week the jury gave a verdict for
ST 900 against DR.. Kirby, on the
strength of Remington's statement
that he intended going back to the
land, and DR.. Kirby's taking charge
had brought him loss.
From all accounts DR.. Kirby was the
man really damaged, and in Goldsboro
where all parties and the transaction
are we'll known, there is much indi9na-
ton at the verdict. The Argus says:
''The damage suit of one Remington,
a would-be-farmer, against DR.. Geo. h.
Kirby. that was tried i'm the Superior
court Of Wilmington last week, and
concluded Saturday evening with a
vrdict against DIR. Kirby for $1,000, was
watched with considerable interest by
our community, who now stand agnast
at the iurys verdict Just how that
n
Jury arrived at that verdict-or YER
dict other than against Remington for
all costs and pnitiye damages-is be
yond the comprehension Of every far
minded man in this community, where
tn facts are known and the callbre OF
Remington rightly understood. VI
course the Supreme court, when the
record of the case goes before Them
as it will, on appeal, will set the YER
diet aside. AS is known, the Argus
has hitherto held unswervingly to the
jury system; but we are free to CON
fess that, with recent jury verdlcts
before our eyes, in the face OF the
plainest and uncontroverted facts, our
faith in the purity and equity of the
Jury system is shaken-and we see
rank injustice stalking at MONDAY in
our court houses, which we were wont
to regard and proud to look upon as

The Rare Story Of
Little Patsy Quinn

1t was while on prowl for the pictur-
esque, up one OF the City's highest
heights, that l made the acquaintance of
my friend Patsey Quinn. A gang of men
were at work bulkheading the cliff for the
protection of the street below, and about
the scene of their operations and around
some sheds near the summit that were be-
ing newly rooted lowered throng of boys
and girls from the neig boring by sire cts
and alleys. They were bearing away the
old shingles, such bits Of building waste
as were portable and what inviting stray
timbers they could insinuate from beneath
the watchfuI eyes of the gangs foreman.
There were sturdy, rag ged, hard mo uthed
boys. staggering along the narrow trails,
their worn young shoulders piled high

with spoiis until they were bent nearly
double and almost hidden from view.
There were wee girls, ygrandmothers In
miniature, with care-lined faces and anx-
ious eyes, steadyin their burdens and dig
ging their little heels into the loose sand
as. heavy.laden, they descended the al
most impossible grade and here and there
a woman guided with one hand the foot
steps of some wee toddler, while with the
other she poised huge bundle OF shingles
upon her own head.
As gazed about the burden of the City 8
sorrow was borne in upon my heart. The
cries of the children all around me smota
my brain with sense OF their helpless
pain. The anguish within the gray wooden
walls Of the phalanxed houses seemed to
