Cannot something be done to prevent oar laborers from flocking from our eastern section to the Georgia pine-fields? The Elizabeth City Economist says there is universal complaint of the scarcity of field labor. The prospect of untitled fields is a gloomy outlook for that large class of men who are so often spoken of as the backbone and who sorely are the foundation block of i the political fabric the farmers.

Tbe fields are yet white with unpicked cotton, and seed-time is at band. Bib. Recorder. What a blessed right this is that the laborers now have of going to the Post Master General Howe Dead. On Easter Sanday at 2:20 P.

tbe Hon. Timothy. O. Howe died at tbe residence of bis nephew, CoL James H. Howe, jat Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Thw sad news caused a great shock in tb country, as it was not even known that the Post Master General was in ijl health.

Tbe enow fall in this State yesterday and to-day is unprecedented. The snow at Henderson is said to be three feet deep. Telegraph lines are down from Greensboro north. At Kittrell a number of bouses have fallen under the weight of the snow. News from other points gives the depth of snow by actual measuremen as follows: Salem 8 inches; Greensboro 21 inches; HillsborolO inch Mid-dluburg 22 iuches; Durham 18 inches.

At Kittrells the roofs of' several houses were crushed by the great wtigljit of snow, while trees were bent and broken. The snow is very deep on the line of the Richmond and Danville Railroad between Gre nsboro and Danville. All the wires were down yesterday, and messages were sent through th Ra leigh office. The fall of snow at Wel-don was slight. None fell at Sanford; none at Goldsboro, but there was much, sleet; several inches at Wilmington; but 1 ttle at Clayton; heavy fall, depth not given, at Charlotte.

Senator Edmunds, tbe now acting Vice-President, lately joined his fami ly at Aiken, S.

where they havu passed the winter, nd their programme for the summer includes a trip to the Pacific coast. Mr. Edmunds has tbe reputation of beinir a man of small means, but the fact is his income ranges irom to fiuu.uuu a year. Besides his salary as senator and a salary of $5,000 as consul for the Vermont central railroad, he ie consulted in nearly every important case brought to the supreme ceurt. or these opinions he receives sums varying from $5,000 to $10,000.

Re cently he went over to New York and made an argument in two cases. His fee in each case was $10,000. He succeeded to a great deal of" Matt Carpenter's lucrative business, and, it is said, received $100,000 in retainers from the cable companies shortly alter Carpenter's death.

He was finally 'joined by other lobbyists, who agreed to see their man uext session and have Edmunds bounced.

It would be impossible, they said, to get anything that had money in it through the senate as loner as old Edmunds was in the chair and Cue rell on the floor, and they both ought to be in the lunatic asylum. Josius. yr 0.UUU -CVETUBUCAN X1ABM0NT IN New Bnn. auei it i. cM.lUt.

J. H. Doolittle, Mr. M. M.

Jackon, subsequently appointed comul jjen-eral at Halifax by President Lincoln, and E. D. Holton, of Milwaukee, i At that time a very strong element in Wisconsin had begun to oppose the fugitive slave hiw 104 capture of a fugitive, his rescue from his captors by Sherman M. Booth and others, and a long lawsuit which followed, having brought the slavery question into almost as much prominence in Wisconsin as in the southern or border states. Judge Howe did not take -ground with the radical abolitionists, but sustained the decision of Judge Dixon, who had taken a very conservative position.

The public interest in this case had its influence on. the senatoral fight. Extreme abolition views were not by any means avowed by the majority of the party, and the candidates were required to subscribe to the doctrine of the state rights before they could receive assurances of support. This Judge Howe refused to do, and Doolittle, who had only come over from the democrats the year previous during the Buchanan- remont cam paign. was chosen.

In 1859 Mr. Howe was elected to the seat, his popularity at that time being so great that his election was secured without a caucus. In fact, he never was the candidate of a caucus, and never was at the capital of his state during a senatorial election in which he was a candidate ior re-eiecuon. C030CE3TS Or THE PRESS.

Whatever may be said of the deceased offl' cial as a public man. it will always be held true of him that he waa honest, pains-taking, and conscientious in the discharge of the du ties that were intrusted to him as jurist, legis lator, and executive officer. New York Herald. Mr. Howe entered the senate at a critical time.

Secession was rampant. Mr. Lincoln in his message' had set forth very clearly what his duty was to the country at large and what were the obligations of his oath. In the debate that followed the 'spokesmen of one party declared that the inaugural was war message, while the, other side declared it to be a peace message. Amid this distraction of opinion Mr.

Howe made his first speech. He told the southern gentlemen that whether the message meant peace or war depended upon themselves upon the course they should pursue. These were just the words needed to be said, and had marked effect. Next came the financial difficulties growing out of the failnre of the banks and the suspension of specie payments. The question now arose whether the government should make its notes legal tender.

Mr. Howe was on the finance committee. Its chairman was opposed to legal tender issues; others of the committee were opposed. Mr. Howe made a carefully prepared speech in support of legal tenders, and legal tenders became the standard currency of the country.

Mr. Howe was elected thrice to the United States Senate, and served altogether eighteen years. In 1865, at Milwaukee, he spoke as follows: "One year ago, when largo rebel armies were fighting on Southern fields for the defeat of our ticket, then I held up to you only the flag of the union, and I appealed to you to stand by the party which stood by it Then I asked you to sustain the union party because it would save the country. Now I ask you to stand by the union party because it has saved the country." This little speech was the key note of his loyalty. Stamps for Tobacco, Snuff ana cigars.

Manley, of Maine, and a number of prominentliepublicans of Philadelphia. The question of holding meetings in the South to be addressed by North i em speakers was discussed, and it was decided to hold the first meeting at Atlanta, in the early fall. The Democratic legislature just ad journed was haunted during its entire session with the dread spectre of defeat in 1884. This dread accounts for the fact that a Democratic journal notes that "the session was devoid of any para mount interest." It gave form to all that was done and was the reason for what was not done. It was this that induced the provision in the reveuue act appro priating the price of the Western N.

Railroad for State general purposes and levying no State tax for 1884. It means we will bribe the people to vote for ns by relieving them of the State tax on the election year with money that should honestly be used to pay the State's repudiated debts. It was this spectre that caused the supplemental act crippling the act providing for a Governor's mansion. It was tbe same haunting ghost that defeated the Railroad Commission bill and also that to build a building for tbe use of the Supreme Court. The questiou never was what honor and dignity of the State require; or what will be of interest to the; welfare of the people, but.

only what will save the Democratic party from threatened defeat what will serve to re-elect us fair or foul. God has forgotten to be gracious to a State when he suffers such men to pnt it to shame. The legislature has passed a supplemental bill to that to Drovide a munsinn fnr- fha eraor, which so conflicts with it as to render diu useless. lial. Uhr.

Advocate. Just-like such legislature. Great effort has been made to "boost" up this legislature as of mere than average "make up." And yet its rtcord as gathered up by its friends proves it to be a poor mischievous thing without any backbone. The secret of this nugatory supplemental bill is that it was enacted so with a purpose. The original act called forth such proteets'from the Democratic tax-payers of the -tate that the friends of the measure became alarmed for their own re-election and the safety of their, party.

They did not have the courage to persist iu their work, nor the manhood to undo it straight out, and so crippled it for life. These are the men who have no sense of public dutyi who live only to worm themselves into public favor by the most Unmanly and cowardly means. We are opposed to the whole ma'ter. Give the Governor a generous salary; let him buy or rent his own house, and furnish it according to bis taste and notions of what is proper in a Governor. It is not tbe cost of a Governor's mansion that calls for "our protest.

It the fact that every four years it will have to be repaired and refurnished at great cost to the State. Every new administration will demand this; lor on its evacuation by the late incumbent the furniture will be so injured, out of style, broken or. else carried off, that nothing will be left' worthy of further service. Although it was a mean and cowardly thingJ-yhilaJt shows the ani- mna of outbroken down aristocfevi Jtl wear clad of this imrmW.JSt. Georgia pine-fields when they please to do so.

jWe thank God for the power tbe working man has to def. nd himself. All ibese men need is to know their rights and the proper manner of their use. As our working people rise in the scale of intelligence they will be able to care for themselves. There was a time when the laborers of North Carolina dared not go to tbe pine-fields of Georgia or the prairies of Kansas.

Did thev reallv venture to tr lor a home amid tbe snow and ice of Cana da blood-hounds were put upon their track and soon after subjugation by manacles and the lash they were com pelled to pick the cotton for a master. We, however, can answer the qoes tion of onr despairing cotemporary. Yes, something can be done to prevent this and all emigration of the laborers of North Carolina. Place North Carolina under Republican rule, as these laborers believe of riht it should be. County their votes fairly alter a free election when they have voted for the principles they hold and the men they prefer.

Give them county government. The Eastern North Carolinians demanded of the West that the laborer of the East be disfranchised. Now. be will not stay with you; he will go to tbe pine fields of Georgia and you may pick your own white cotton fields. Treat the laborer as a man; give him fair wages; pay him promptly; do pot cheat him and he will prefer to stay in North Carolina.

He loves -the old North State; is attached to her people, and would rather lay his body to rest by the graves oi his kindred. Give him with your own children and the children of the white man who labors in the western counties equal advantages of education. He must educate his children and they shall be free even if he must go to Kansas. Never again elect such an bitter Democratic legislature as the one just dispersed.
