For several years past II has been the
practice Of the director Of the United

Mr.. Braden says that last year there
were many instances among the Wash

not made. The Post fnteiiIgeneer re-
specially urges that all Washington
miners should annwer his questions fully
and In detail. and If blanks have not

WILL WHITE MEN STAND THIS

We ask the white people of the State.
Of Western North Carolina specially, to
think OF the following. and say wheth-
mits such an outrage What We relate
is a matter Of record ana can be easily
verified.
The whole State is aware Of the fact
that Craven county has . so-called
white man. carpetbagser. elected by
the negroes, as sheriff, named Joseph L.
Hahn. Every deputy sheriff serving
under nm IN the county 10 burly ne
gro. Every process or execution served
from the sheriff's office is done by this
sheriff or one of his negro deputies.
Some time ago it became necessary,
under the laws of the State. to send q
yo0s white man. named r. L. Hanr
to the hospital in this city for the in
sane. He is young man OF poor but
very respectable family. Providence had
afflicted him to that degree that the
prnHtion and care provided by the
good people OF the State were neces-
sary in his behalf. He was ordered sent
to the Raleigh asylum. and, was duly
brought by A NEGRO DEPUTY. from
Newbern to Raleigh. and delivered to
Or. Kirby. The name Of the negro
deputy is w. D. Petition, a. appears
upon the records Of the asylum.
This is \ simple statement Of the
fact. 1t requires no Establishment
Now We ask every white voter tbi,
simple question:
suppose your father, son or brother
mother. wife or sister-for had II h.en
woman instead of 4 man the GARNET
bag sheriff Of Craven would no Doubt
have followed the same cour,ever.
to become % afflicted that treatment
at the asylum were necessary. Would
you ike for him or her to b taken to
the institution by a negro: Answer
this question for yourselves honestly
before your Maker. If not, then in tn.
name Of that Maker and those You hold
dear. vote to relieve those of your avn
race, and neah and blood in sastern
caroline who are thus subject to euch
oatr~Ses and whose only r>ust mus
come from you

Tho above /. a settlement between

Ny books contained detailed accounts

rharged in that settlement came from
There were my accounts with the

these were turned over to DR.. Thomp-
son at the time of our settlement
From then until now he has never COM
pIained to me that the settlement was

AS I was, during your whole term
as Secretary OF State, your chief clerk.
t 10 fair to you that l should state
what l know Of your conduct of the
office

true statement OF every dollar which
vas received in the office, what 1t was

rotary Of State to your personal use,

The great bulk Of the collections Of
The Secretary OF State are in checks
and draft. These We're always en-
dorSed to the cashiers OF the several
banks in which they were deposited.
Not q cent OF the proceeds ever came
into your hands. There was not over
term. Further than this, it was the
rule that every Saturday you and I
should go over the accounts together
and while this rule may have been
varied. whenever we did not examine
the accounts on Saturday We did SO
within a few days thereafter
| have recently examined all the
checks given by you as Secretary OF
state. With one exception, they were
filed out by me, and on their faces spe-
city for what purpose they were
drawn
In regard to the charge that a num-
Der OF the articles OF agreement OF cor
porations were not copied in the record
books, l have to say that while this Is
true. the blame for it should attach to
me-, and not TO yourself. as you turned
over to me not only the duties but the
fees, Of this part Of your office. These
articles We're left duly filed in the Sec
retary's office. and neither the State
nor any individual can have suffered
from the failure to copy them
In regard to the charge that the seal
tax on corporations was not paid, I beg
leave to say that Or. Thompson 10 in
error. Every cent OF this tax was duly
paid 70 the Private Secretary Of the
Governor in accordance with law. The
Private Secretary kept list on which

the time It was 30 AFFIXED. This record
was verified by the signed initials Of
the Secretary or clerk by whom the
document was sent for sealing-and
every cent due on this account vas
paid quarterly
In this connection I beg leave to say.

LEGISLATIVE FORECAST.
The Republican Leaders Anxious
for an Early Ad iournment

The Alaska bill will be the first meas
ure OF Importance considered in the Sem
ate next week. Messrs. nansbrough
Wilson and other Northwestern Senator's
have been trying for several days To call
il up. and have pointed out TO their as
sociates the necessity for prompt action
owing 10 the large number of people go-
ing into that district for mining purpos-
es. After that Mr.. Carter viii probably
make another effort to dispose of the
census bill: but for the rest of the week
no definite program has yet been laid out.
The chances are that unless something
exciting comes up in connection with the
Maine, appropriation bills will be pressed.
The Republican leaders in both branches
of Congress seem to be anxious to bring
about an early adjournment this year:
and they are taking special pains not to
discuss questions likely to lead to wrang-
les between the various parties.
The Loud bill. relating to second-class
mail matter, will be called up i'm the
House on Tuesday. 1t is thought that
owing TO the serious propositions con-
tanned in this measure. and the big fight
going on for and against it. the debate
will last at least four days. and may pos
sibly require the whole week. Consid-
cradle time will also be needed i'm the
lower branch to dispose of conference re-
ports on appropriation bills.

IA CHAMPAGNE'S LONG TRIP.
Another Steamer In Port without
Word From Her

New York. Feb. a.-The steamship
Paris. which arrived this morning.
brought no news of the missing French
liner La Champagne. now seven days
overdue. Her officers report that they
saw nothing of her.
1t was confidently expected that the
Paris would bring some word from the
overdue steamer. but her failure to do
SO, while il causes disappointment. has
not renewed the anxiety which, in a large
measure, was allayed Yesterday by the
news brought by the Bremerhaven.
Although seven days have passed since
Captain MINES ship is thought TO have
sighted La Champagne. shipping men
now generally believe the steamer is safe.
The fact that she was riding out gale.
with enough headway to steer by. and
with no flags of distress flying, indicates
to the nautical mind that the ship was
well under control and in no danger.
The mshap to her machinery. as is the
generally-accepted theory. was probably
of such a character as to require three
or four days of patient labor by the ship 5
engineers and machinists. That the Paris
did not sight her does not cause uneasi-
ness. La Champagne probably drfted to
the southwark of the usual track of the
big liners while effecting repairs.
