The arrangement for the celebration of the -founding of Georgetown University a hundred years ago are nearly completed, and all the signs point to success. Besides the gathering of the alumni from all parts of North America, the rectors and presidents of other universities and colleges have signified their intention of attending, and the Alumni of the University of Michigan have appointed Senator Palmer and Representative Cutcheon a committee to present iheir congratulations, an example that may be followed by other institutions. Cardinal Gibbons will arrive from Baltimore next Tuesday afternoon, and the students at the college have provided that the cadet corpse will meet his carriage at the Washington depot and escort him with due honors to the college, where he will be welcomed by the faculty and students with appropriate addresses. This is not intended as part of the exercise of the centennial, but a personal greeting.

Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock pontifical high mass will be celebrated- in Trinity Church, Georgetown, when Rev. J. H. will preach the sermon and a lTede-ura" will be sung by a special choir. Wednesday evening theological degrees will conferred, and the faculty will hold a public reception.

Friday, being Washington's birthday, it will be filled in the morning by class reunions, rooms being assigned as headquarters to the various classes represented. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the special academic session will be held, when it is expected that the President, his Cabinet and other noted persons will attend, and honorable degrees will be conferred in law philosophy, and the centenary will close. not going to have the customary (with this market) spasmodic boom for a short to be succeeded by a reaction, and our last state rendered worse, by far, than our first, but we' are going to have atrong, steady, healthy demand for all desirable bright tobacco. There is some talk among our manufacturers ot ignoring the new crop altogether, but this they will find very hard to do. We have never seen a crop, yet, so mean that somebody wouldn buy and work it, at some price.

We do not mean, however, by this to argue in favor of mean crops; far be it trom us to encourage by word or deed any such thing, for just so long as the farmers continue to over-crop themselves and put in cultivation land entirely unsuitable for the growth of fine tobacco, just so will we have a superabundance of common stuff glutting all the markets of the world. In such a state of affairs the farmers must be the sufferers. A ou. have been giving them; for past few days, some sound words of advice regarding the acreage and the manner of cultivating the lS89crop, and if vou would only put, them at the head of your column in big type and keep them there for three months, you will not only be doing the farmers kind d-ed. but the country at large.

10. The Senate has so much before it and so lit tie time that only one' or two important measures can reach the point of final action at this session. One of them may be the pending reduction in relation to election" outrages in Texas. Another the Census bill. The Pacific Railroad Funding bill, which has -been so; long pending, may fail of reaching-a final vote.

As there is no hope of its being taken up in the House, nothing will be gained by pressing it to a vote in the Senate. THE MEASURES WHICH WILL EE ITSHEIA IN THE SENATE are the bills which have passed the House, or the resolutions on which the Senate alone is to take action. Under these conditions it is hardly likely that Senator Frye (who re; turned to the city yesterday) will antagonize with the Union Pacific measure the Census bill, which Senator Hale has given notice he will call up to-morrow. Senator Hale expects the Census bill to occupy the Senate for a day or more. Meantime the Appropriations Committee will report the Sundry Civil bill, and it will be taken up for consideration at an early day.

It is likely that the Committee on Privileges and Elections will report Mr. Chandler's resolution to investigate Louisiana election outrages These measures and the Texas election resolution should keep the Senate busy through the week, although several bills of more importance will probably be slipped through in the intermission. A LIVELY WEEK PROMISED. This week in the House promises to be a most lively one. Monday is suspension day, but it is likely to be! fritted away, as several members-will make dilatory motions to prevent the calling up of the Pacific Railroad Funding bill, which is the regular order.

On Tuesday Mr. Mills will call up the report on the tariff question, and an extended and exciting debate, which may take several days, will probably ensue. There are two Appropriation bills to be passed, the Postoifice bill and the. Deficiency bill, which will be called up at the earliest opportunity. Several conference reports, notably-the Territorial, will be presented, and as they are matters of the highest privilege, they will take precedence over all other questions when presented.

Mr. McCreary will try to call up the Edmunds Panama Canal resolution next week, and this will- undoubtedly give rise to debate, as Messrs. Norwood and Russell will combat the position taken by the majority. Mr. Randall will also try to reach the Cowles bill on the calendar.

This, it is feared, will meet with decided opposition from Mr. Mills and others, and filibustering tactics may be' resorted to to defeat its consideration. COLONEL LAMONT'S FUTURE. Col. Daniel S.

Lamont said yesterday that he was not expecting to be the president of any one of New York City's horse'railways, but that he should be connected with a syndicate of capitalists who were the owners of several such lines, and that Secretary William C. Whitney was one of the gentlemen of the syndicate. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND NOUNCED. PLANS AN- The Sunday Capital announces that the President will live at Victoria Hotel, in New York, when he returns tcprivate life. He and Mrs.

Cleveland have engaged rooms there and will remain until the weather has sulliciently moderated to enable them to go out of town. Beyond that no further plans are made. DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS TO-NIGHT. Democratic caucus called for to-morrow night is tor the purpose of considering the several internal revenue measures now before the House. The call was prepared by the Mills men and generally circulated on Saturday.

Mr. Randall, Mr. Cowles and other Democrats, who favor the repeal of the tobacco tax, refused to sign it. They will, however, go into caucus, but Mr. Cowles declares that neither he nor other Southern Democrats will le bound by it in case the caucus wants to thrust upon them some bill reported from the Ways and Means Committee.

The time tor caucuses on revenue bills, says Mr. Cowles, is past. We of the South, he said, want some practical results, and none of the bills reported from the Ways and Means Committee can even pass the House, not to speak of the Senate. His own bill, Great clearance sale still continued in every department in both stores, and we take this method of impressing on our patrons and the public at large the notable fact that lower prices cannot made, than the prices we are making on as good aline of goods as were ever submitted to the expe- rienced judgment of -our customers.

The darkeys are mightly stirred-up about the exodus to Kansas. Agents are here, stirring them up, breeding discontent and setting force the charms of Kansas. Night before last 110 left here for that promised land.

The labor agents are all through Obelin and East Raleigh, talking to the negroes, and are also working on the imaginations of the negroes on the farms in this township. Raleigh can spare 2,000 idle and wortless negroes, to great advantage- but anything like an exo-dus of working negroes would work a great hardship. The, negroes are full of the idea of going. No story is too absurd for them -to believe They will not trust the white people, though those from a distance can make them swailow anything. They will also believe, with perfect aith, anything a preacher of their own race tells them.

Most of the news gets out and most of the work is done from the pulpit. There is no abatement in the debate on the school tax question, and the dispute grows. The mass of the people, nine out of ten, favor the increase of the tax and increased school acconimodations. When the people get a chance to vote on the matter thecorectness of this assertion will be proved- Some of the opponents do not wish the matter to be put to the test of the popular vote. The legislative committee is unanimous.

We have, to report sales of leaf small to-day, but we are in the midst of a line tobacco season for stripping the weed, and after a few days we may expect heavy breaks, provided the season for stripping continues a few days longer. We do not know who fathers the leaf tobacco tax, proposed in the amendment to the Durham charter, but this much we do know, that we are opposed to it and may be induced to have more to say on this subject hereafter. Aslieville, X. C. The late protracted cold spell broke several days ago, since which we have had mild, soft some rain.

This may tend to increase our sales ten days or more hence. Sales have been only moderate in quantity this week, though fully up to the last month In quality. Prices have continued firm on all offerings this week. It is plain now to every one that wrappers are verv scarce in the 1888 crop and the few offered ate eagerly taken at high prices. R.

News from the State Capital. Special Correspondence to The Plant. Raleigh, N. Feb. 18, '89.

There never was a dryer day's proceedings than the Senate session Saturday. The session of the House was expected to be lively, as the railway commission bill was set as a special order, but it was staved off for a few days until next Wednesday. The railway people and their attorneys are now coming to the front and are jumping with both feet upon the bill. The results can be seen in the newspapers and in the lobbies. Jn the House McDonald, Cookes and Beddingfield are champions of the bill.

Sutton and Franks have shown up so, far as its opponents. The latter has put in an amendment to reduce the salary of commissioners to 81,200 and of the clerk to $800. Of course that is his way of emasculating the measure. There was along and pretty plain-spoken sort of discussion of a bill to make fornication and adultery between black man and white woman or a white man and black woman an infamous crime. Mr.

Gilman championed this bill so ably that he I overrode an unfavorable committee report and carried the bill through triumphantly. Pie said that the man was the offender in ninety-nine out of a hundred oases and that this law would punish him. There was a rather unusual scene just here. Holloway, a colored member trom New Hanover, stepped into the aisle and thanked Mr. Gilman on behalf of the colored women.

Gov. Jar vis, at the colored State fair, used to tell his hearers that they must raise the standard of virtue among their race. He was right. But the standard has not been raised, and miscegenation is one of the curses of the day; Few newspapers have the temerity to speak out on this subject and few writers dare mention it. But the state of affairs exist and there ought to be some way to pre'vent such a degradation.

The proportion of children of mixed race is enormous arid that of negro women who are' more or less supported by white men is stated upon the testimony of negroes to be very large. It is not yet known how many troops will go from this State to the inauguration. The entire force in Georgia will attend. Thus far only one company from this State (Coin pany 1st Regiment, Elizabeth Julian E. Wood,) has applied lor permission to go, which the Governor promptly granted.

The Governor anil his party leave today for New Berne. He will leave here in the private car of Maj. Winjler, as the guest of Maj. Tucker and of Mr. Washington Bryan.

Adjutant-General Olds, Assistant Quartermaster-General Grimes, the aides-decamp ami several ladies are of the party. The Governor's Guard will be the escort and will also have a special car. The Governor will probably return Thursday. While at.
