SatterfeId and Brown.

Raleigh, N. c., Jan. 14.-The
jury in the Superior Court here
to-day returned a verdict of
guilty against Enrolling Clerk J.
W. Brown of the Legislature on
both counts of the indictment
against him. The first count
charged that he unlawfuHy and
wilfully omitted, neglected and
refused to discharge the duties of
his office by causing and permit
ting what is known as the Assign
ment Act to be enrolled as pub
lie law.
The second count charged that
he unlawfully and corruptly
omitted, neglected and refused to
discharge the duties of his Office
by fraudently causing and per-
mitting to be enrolled as a public
law certain pretended act.
Solicitor Pou prayed judgment
on Brown and also Satterfeld, the
principal clerk of the lower
House.
Satterfeld's case was first taken
up. His attorney made three
motions, to set aside the verdict,
for arrest of judgment and for
another trial.
Judge McIver denied all three
motions and satterfeld's attorneys
excepted to his rulings.
The Judge said Satterfeld had
been guilty of negligence and
carelessness and ought to have
known the consequences. If he
had been convicted on the second
count he would certainly have had
to be sentenced to impris-
onment, but as Satterfeld was
only guilty of misdemeanor he
would impose $3.50 fine and costs.
Satterfeld's counsel then ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court.
He gave $3.50 bond for his ap-
pearance at the Superior Court.
Browns case was then taken
up. Motions in arrest of judg-
ment and for a new trial were
made as in Satterield's case.
Judge McIver denied both. The
defence excepted. The Judge
then sentenced him to pay a fine
of $3.50 and TO work on the public
roads of this county twelve
months. He appealed to the Su
preme court and gave $500 bond
for his appearance at the superior
Court.

Of Interest to Cotton Growers.

The American Cotton Growers
Protective Association has issued
the following circular, viz: +
To all Commissioners of Agri-
culture for the Cotton States, all
Agricultural Associations, Farm
ers' Oranges, Alliances, Cotton
Exchanges, and to each and every
individual interested in the growth
and production of cotton, directly
or indirectly:
The American Cotton Growers
Protective Association has called
a meeting of said Association to
be held at Memphis, Tenn.
Tuesday, January 21, 1895, to
discuss the advisability of adopt
ing systematic means to restrict
the acreage of cotton for the COM
ing season within reasonable
limit. This is a matter that vi
tally affects the interests of the
people of the whole South, and
all interested in the production OF
cotton are urged to attend this
convention and take part i'll its
deliberations.
We give ourselves great anxiety
and worry about matters beyond
our influence, but here is business
infinitely more important to the
South and its people, over which
cotton growers have absolute con-
troll, and can do as they like-sell
cotton at 5 cents per pound or 1C
cents per pound, if they act wisely.
The Memphis Cotton Exchange
has appointed a committee on ar
rangements who will provide {
place of meeting for the conven
ton, and the committee has Sc
cured a rate of one and one-thirC
fare for the round trip from the
various railroads throughout the
cotton district for all wishing te
attend the convention.
All newspapers in the cottor
district that believe that this
movement is in the right direc
ton and will add to the genera
prosperity and independence o:
cotton growers, are requested te
push this invitation.

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION

Chicago has been selected as
the place and July z as the date
for the meeting of the next Dem
ocratic National Convention. The
Democratic national committee,
which met in Washington Thurs
day, made short work of select
ing the time and took twenty~
nine ballots before selecting the
place, and the friends Of the com :
peting cities that did not get the
convention will doubtless declare
that the selection of the time,
which was done in five minutes,
was wiser than the deliberate
action which was taken as the
result of twenty nine ballots. 10
those who will attend the con-
vention, either as delegates or
spectators, the selection OF
Chicago will commend itself as
the most sensible that could
have been made.
The real discomfort of the com
ing convention will arise from
the date at which it meets and
not because Of the place in which
it is held. A midsummer con-
vention will not and cannot be
made a pleasant event to those
who participate in it. The wealth
er will be hot and delegates ano
spectators will be uncomfortable,
for Chicago is not a pleasant OF
supremely healthy summer re-
sort. If the comfort of the par,
ticipants had been recognized as
an i'm mportant factor the date o.
the convention would have beer

Gen. Martinos Campos.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE Mail
and Express this afternoon prints
the following dispatch from its
Havana correspondent: Il am
informed on authority which I
cannot question, that Director
General Campos has to-day de-
cided to retire from the COM
mand of the Spanish forces in
Cuba aud from the direction Of
the campaign against the insur-
gents" This decision was ar
rived at after his conference with
representative of the three are
unalterably opposed to him and
his methods. Gen. Martinez
Campos did not tell the commit
tee Immediately of his decision,
but it is understood that he is
positive about it and that his
successor will probably assume
command of the Spanish army
as military Governor of Cuba on
Monday. Campos retires, how
ever, only temporarily SO far as
he is known, until the Govern
ment at Madrid shall decide
whether to keep him here or res
call him TO Spain. It is believed
that Martinez Campos' successor
will be Gen. Sabas Martin, com
mander of the second army
corps.
Madrid, January 1.-THE leads
ers of the Constitutional. Union
and Reformist parties of Cuba
have cabled to the Government
here demanding the recall OF
Gen. Martinez Campos from the
command of the Spanish army in
Cuba, and cabinet council has
been called to discuss the qnes-
ton. Gen. Polavieja, the prob
able successor of Gen. Martinez
Campos, has started from Sc
vile for Madrid.
London, Jan. IA dispatch
to the Central News from Madrio
says that theCabinet this eve de
cided to recall from Cuba, Capt
Gen. Campos and his brother in
law, Gen. Arderius, second IL
command. Gems. Martin ano
Pando will be temporarily sub.
stituted in their places. The su

The S1OO.OOO,OOO Loan.

AS the Philadelphia Times
says, it is no longer doubtful that
the full amount of 100000, 600 of
four per cent. bonds, offered by
the government for popular sub
scrlption, will be taken, and iG is
probable that the proposals will
cover a much larger sum than is
needed. 1t is gratifying to kLow
that. while the loan cannot be Of
fered on a broad, popular basis to
reach all classes and conditions
of the people, there will be a
very general response to the cali
Of the government for the m ain
tenance of public credit. = -
While the sum of 500, 600, 900
will be realized by the govern
ment, il is not certain that the
gold reserve will be materially
benefited. The bonds must be paid
for in gold, but the gold must be
obtained either from the Treas
ury itself or from the banks, and
it is probable that to whatever
extent the gold reserve in the
banks may be depleted to make
subscriptions to the loan it will
be speedily restored by the banks
drawing from the gold supply
of the Treasury. Thus the lend
less chain" of paying in and
drawing out gold is likely to con-
tinue, and it is likely that within
a month or two after the loan
shall have been paid in, the gold
reserve may be as low as it is to-
day.
The refusal Of Congress to aus
thorize the issue of 3 per cent
gold bonds exhibits a lack of
craftsmanship and devotion to
demagogic methods which go to
the very verge of insanity.
Many millions of dollars could
be saved by such an issue of
bonds, and as any bond issued by
this government will certainly
be paid in gold if demanded, no
possible loss could follow. In
addition to the saving Of many
millions in interests, such dec
laration in the bonds Of the gov
ernment would quiet the dlss
trust as to the unsoundness of
our financial policy throughout
the civilized world, and would
save the people of this country
hundreds of millions of dollars
by holding our securities abroad
and enhancing their value, and
giving every legitimate Ameri-
can enterprise, the highest credit
in the money markets Of the old
world.

BOOMING THE BOND ISSUE
The Administration Determined to
Make the Loan Success.
Washington, Jan. IA.

aSh1nStOn, Jan. IA.
The administration apparently
is making use Of every legiti-
mate means to make the forth
coming popular loar a conspic~
uous success. With a view to
stimulating general interest in
the issue, Mr.. Eckels, the
Comptroller of the Currency,
with the approval of the Presi-
dent and Secretary Carlisle, has
sent copies of the following ci~-
cular letter to all National banks
in the United States:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
Office Comptroller Currency,
Washington, Jan. 13, 1896.
SIR: Some days since, at the
request of the Secretary of the
Treasury, I caused to be for
warded to you circulars inviting
proposals for the 4 per cent.
bonds, soon to be issued by the
government. In order that of
fers from the same may be made
more intelligently by those de-.
string to bid, there has been pref
pared by the Treasury Depart
ment the inclosed statement, ex-
hibiting the prices to be paid for
the bonds in order to return to
the investor certain rates of in
terest in said staten ents men
toned. It is the desire of the
government that these bonds be
distributed as widely as possible,
and as they are of a character
which affords to National banks
especially desiring to obtain cir
culation thereon a long time in
vestment, your attention is calls
ed to them, both as to this par-
ticular feature and that of the
general character of the invests
ment.
1t is suggested that the Ma
tional banks can materially aid
the government in popularizing
this loan by calling the attention
of their patrons to the desirable
ity of it as an investment, and in
stimulating subscriptions there's
to. 1t is earnestly requested
that you explain to your patrons
in detail the manner Of making
bids and the terms thereof, thus
giving them the fullest informa-
tion upon the subject. In this
manner it is believed that many
of our people who might other :
wise feel Indifferent to such in
vestment would see the advaut-
age attached to it and wish to
participate therein. Very res
spectf'llly,
JAMES II. ECKELS,
Comptroller.

ECONOMY OF GOOD ROADS

In spite of the fact that the
Northern States are fairly grid
ironed with railway track the
Road Inquiry Bureau of the De-
partment of Agriculture at
Washington declares in a recent
report that the average wagon
haul of all products to markets
and railway stations is 6 9 miles
and that in the existing condi-
ton OF the country roads the
average cost per ton for hauling
is 25 cents per mile Or a trif1e
less than $1.75 per ton for the
average distance. It does not
require an expert mathematician
to figure out that at these rates
the total cost of hauling the ans
nual product of the country will
reach close 10 a billion of dolls
lars.
There are two very significant
facts suggested by these figures.
1.-The first is, that no matter how
great the railway development
may be the agricultural products
of the country will have to be
hauled a long average distance
lover country roads. The second
is, that any important reduction
lin the cost of hauling must de
pend upon the construction and
maintenance Of good roads. .Twen-
Ity-f FIVE cents a ton is an unnec~
Iessarily expensive rate, but with
roads over which the average
load cannot exceed one ton per
team of two horses or mules the
rate cannot be reduced. With a
roadbed that would permit OF
two ton loads the rate could be
|cut in half, and in no other way
/ The two essentials of good
roads are easy grades and solid
and well drained surface. The
first can only be secured in many
Instances by relocating existing
highways with view solely to
an Improvement of the grade
The present country highways
were laid out originally as near
tly as possible on straight lines,
| the surveyors taking little or no
account of the contour of the
|country. All this will have to
be radically changed as the very
first step toward securing a good
Iroad sys 5em, and a lessening OF

the cost of hauling the agricul-
tural staples to market. Besides
being the first essential it will be
the most difficult Of accomplish>
ment. The farmers will protest
most vigorously against having
their land bisected by winding
roadways.
The other essential of a solid
roadbed with smooth surface
should not be very difficult of
realization, The steam stone
crusber and the steam roller
have wrought a revolution in the
art of good road building as well
as a great reduction in cost. The
successful employment of con-
victs upon the roads in the South
suggests the introduction of a
heretofore practical useless
branch Of labor into this much
needed line Of public improves
ment. Tramps and convicts
cannot be abolished, but they
can be made to earn their living
and serve the public in much
needed and very useful improves
ment by putting them to work in
the construction Of permanent
highways. In this calling, too.
convict labor would be less likely
to come into conflict with the orr
ganized labor of'Jhe country than
if employed at any branch Of
productive industry.
But the prelude to revised
grades and solid roadbeds con :
structed by modern machinery
operated by convict or other la
Dor must be the realization by
the agricultural community of
the economy of good roads. This
secured the easy grades and ma
cadamized road beds will follow
Without this no other inns
provement is possible. Farmers
are opposed to high taxes, but
the knowledge that the aver
age cost of hauling their pro-
ducts to markets or rail
way stations is twenty five
cents per ton per mile should
convince them that this is
the most burdensome tax inns
posed upon them. They should
study the good road problem
with view to the reduction of
their real tax burdens.
