The country demanded the institujicn of new safeguards to secure the republic from tlie attacks of its adversaries, against Which it was powerless. The Chamber of Deputies was failing into ruin and decay and the country was trejobling emotion at always having presented to it as an enemy a citizen Who only desired the welfare of the republic. The monarchists were, watching the republic. expectant of its death agony. The country felt that its safety demanded a revision of the constitution.

J. McClellan Holmes, of Al bany, N. presented the report of the committee on Dr. Hooper offer of 18,000 to found a college in (Jan- ton, China, with a hope that the Presbyter an Alliance would increase thn endowment to 100,000. Tho committee approved the attempt to establish a Christian institution in China, but in view of the fact, that the Alliance was not a body which could legally hold property, recom mended the council to decline the offer.

Dr. Elliuwood, of New York, read paper prepared for the meeting of the American delegates, denouncing the liquor traffic with Africa, and Btated that the work uf missions in the Congo district was paralyzed by the influence of trade restrictions. He proposed to the council the ap pointment of a committee to thank the King of Belgium for his influence in the Congo which was used to pre vent evils otherwise attending the question. Dr. John Hall, of New York, referred to instances in which the Church was able to create such a feeling as made national rulers ashamed to persist in their evil ways.

lu the subsequent debate on the progress of itomanism Dr. Hall said it seemed stronger in America than it really was. Politics contributed to the eff -ct that one party was al ways wanting the support of the Roman Catholica, while tba other had it. Thus its influence was magnified, but it included only ons-tenth of the population, lhis portion was very no sy and strong in prisons (laughter) and politics, but it was not proportionally strong in the religious life of the community. Let li Rot be Deceived.

Chariot Democrat. The report that Judge Russell, one of the Republican nominees for Su preme Court Justice, will soon write a letter. declining to run and advising the withdrawal of the Republican State ticket, should not deceive Dem ocrats and make them believe that they will have an easy time triumph ing over Col. Dockery and his col leagues. In the first place, Judge Russell has very little influence with the Republican party of this State, and never has cad.

He is a gentleman pf talents and respectability, but is notthesortof man that the average North Carolina Republican patterns after, or will permit to lead. And Lsecondlv. there is not tho remotest possibility that the ltepublican party will take Judge Russell's advice and quit the field and unite with tho Pro hibition or third party. The third party movement may draw away some Democrats from their nomi nees, but no Republicans the Republicans will stand together solidly, and vote every man (the macs, man es pecially) for Dockery and Harrison. Ho who doubts that has learned nothing by experience, ihe lact is, tne detection of a few leading Republicans will only cause the rank and file to.

eland closer together and work harder for success. One common working man who beats up the bushes during a campaign, is worth three or four set back-in-the-shade leaders. Therefore, we must warn Demo crats not to be deceived by the utter ances of so-called leaders of promt nent men. They have but little con trol or power over the masses, and their influence is not worth much at any time. If Democrats would suc ceed in the approaching elections, they must organize and work, and not rely on the defection of this or that man from the Republican partv.

We Bay'now plainly, that ii will be no easy task to defeat Col. Dockery he can be defeated, but it will take earnest and steady work to do it. Don put too much confidence in what Judge Russell says or does it will not help the Democratic party. Washington Notes. By Telegraph to the News and Observer.

BOUL ANGER AND PRIME MINISTER FLOQUET. TEIT FIGHT WITH 8WOBD3 BOTH COMBATANTS WOUSDKO OTtllB KKW8. By Cable to the News and Pabis, July 13 As was expected the insult offered by Gen. Boulanger to Prime Minister Floquet in the Chamber of Deputies last evening resulted in a duel. The two gentle men, attended by their seconds, met in the vicinity of Paris at 10 o'clock this morning and both combatants were wounded.

The duel occurred on Count Dillon's estate a' Neuilly Eur Seine, a short distacca from the city. Gen. Boulanger wai wounded in the arm and neck. His wounds are not dangerous. M.

Floquet's hand was scratched by Gea. Boulanger's sword. Further than this he was not touched. Floquet's colleagues in the ministry were waiting at his house for the newB of the uel and were overjoyed to see the Prime Minister return safe. He was giv.en an ovation.

A small crowd of Gsn Boulanger's followers were in front of bis house when he returned home. Noon. Later Details of the du-l are to the following effect: At the second encounter Gen. Boulanger was slightly wounded in the leg and M. Floquet received a cut on the right hand.

After resting tho men renewed the fighting for a third time. Gen. Boulanger made a lunge at M. Floquet's left breast, but only slightly touched the mark. Gen.

Boulanger then received a wound in the throat which put an end to the encounter. The wound is a severe one but on account of hemorrhage, the doctors are unable to decide whether it is likely to prove serious. The duel was fiercely fought. Gen. Boulanger tried hard to kill M.

Floquet, and threw himself upon him again and again. When M. Floquet received the wound in the hand it began to bleed, and the seconds decided that the tight should be discontinued, but both combatants refused to stop. it is now believed that the wound in Gen. Isoulancer throat is a serious one.

M. Floquet received scratches on his hand, chest and foot. The seconds have made formal re port in which they state that Boulan ger received a serious wound in the neck. Dr. Menod, who is attending Boulanger, has issued a bulletin re garding his condition.

It says there is a deep wound in the right side of the General's neck and that it causes marked difficulty in respiration. At present the Doctor is unable to give an opinion as to what turn the case may take. North Carolina' Confederate Dead. Car. ol the News and Observer.

OiroED, N. 0., July 12. The proposition to supply head stones for North Carolina a heroes in the beautiful cemetery of Richmond, Ya ought and no doubt will meet the hearty approval of Confederates spared to contribute to any good perpetuating the memory of their departed brothers. Gladly would I aid in erecting a monument on our Capitol Square in Rsleigh and con secrated grounds that contain the dust of North Carolina's brave sons (if it were in the power of woman) with a suitable inscription indelibly engraved to their memory. The reading of this proposition and generous response from two.

of North Carolina most prominent men brought fresh from store the unmarked graves of fifty soldiers on private property. Uuring a visit to Kittrells a few years ago, I entered a store to mafce some purchases, and from the door noticed a beautiful circle of cedarB Remarking upon the perfect uniformity of the evergreen circle as if arranged by the hand of men. The merchant looked surprised, saying, Madam you do not recognize your own work. Like a flash of electrici ty, the poor soldiers who died at Kittrell Springs reshed to my memo ry, and how, unaided by any but paid laborers I had planted the ceder cu ds around their graves, placing at the head of each one I had raised and tufted, a simple board with their name traced by a rough painters brush. 'This we git, from generous people at the springs, subsequently I made an appeal to the Ale morial Association of Raleigh for their removal to the Soldiers' Ceme tery in Raleigh.

The railroad officials promised the free transportation for the boxes, but no other aid was given and no further stepB taken for the re moval. Knowing that these soldiers are buried on private property which may be cultivated for gam, the wood mao's axe will not spare the evergreen enclosure, if the plough is to level the mound and scatter the tui I had so carefully placed over the raised grave. I cannot refrain from drawing the at tentionof Confederate soldiers to their comrades sleeping in private grounds liable to be disturbed in after years If considered unadvisable to remove the sacred dust cannot some interested officer to attend to the put- chase of the circle and have a deed properly registered for the preserva tion of their quiet resting place. The name, of each soldier and his regi ment was carefully preserved by the physician in "Charge of Kittrell Dr. Fairfield Butt, of Ports mouth, Ya-, and no doubt his record would give some poor mother the fate of her son as it did a few years ago to one that I met, who had never known where her brave bov's bones were buried.

Hoping that this is npt trespassing upon the duties of any Confederate Association and if no steps are taken for removal a deed may be secured. I am, respectfully, Mas. S. A. Elliott Aselgnmeat of Wholesale Grocer.

Mr. Sanderlin made a most excel lent speech, after which the procession moved up Elm street to William, up William to Pine, where it was again highly entertained for a while by Hon. A. M. Waddell.

It then moved up Pine to John, up John to Chestnut i street to Mr. H. Weil's residence, where Capt. Swift uaiioway, in a snort out ap propriate speech, introduced lion Daniel G. Fowle.

The Judge poured forth the eloquence of bis soul amid the cheers and hurrahs of his many friends of this section. His speech was, as usual, 0: the vary best and greatly enjoyed. Xne procession tnen moved up James street to Oak street, where it halted for a while to hear the good news our Superin tendent of i Public Instruction, Maj. S.

It then moved down Oak street to the Graded School, and there had the pleasure of hearing a most excellent speech delivered by Capt. W. A. Darden. Then the vast crowd moved down William street tb Mulberry, up Mulborry io John, down John lo Walnut and up Walnut to Humphrey, wbcre it turned its weary but joyous foot homeward.

As the procession moved along the streets it made a grand and beautiful display. The houses on the route were beatif ully lighted, and this added greatly to the brilliancy of the dem onstration. Ihe procession was nearly three quarters of a mile in length, and carried many transparencies with various inscriptions upon Ihem. The number of torches was 400 or more. As we passed along the streets occasionally a flam ing tar.

The News and Obsibvek extends congratulations. Fool Who The Republican platform adopted at Chicago Jast week, was drawn with the deliberate purpose to deceive. We refer at this time to only one fe the internal revenue feature.

The platform favors the repeal of the il 1 1 taxes on touaoco. xms is euner deliberate dishonesty, or it is a rebuke to the Republican party in the lower House of Mr. McKinley, who presented the is one of the Republican leaders ae House. Talk is cheap; let us see Low Republican words tally with Republican actions. On the 3rd of March, 1887, Mr.

Henderson, of North Carolina, moved the House for the passage of his resolution providing for the abolition of the tax on leaf tobacco, and for modifications of, the lav govern ing the distillation of whiskey and brandy. The voto in favor the resolution stood: 131, Re publicans, agi: solution, Democrats, publicans, 107. That looks like the Republicans want to repeal the tobacco taxes, doesn't it? 8 of them vote to repeal it, and 107 vote against repealing it. Again: in tho MilJs bill now pending in the House is a clause repealing the to bacco taxes, yet the solid Republican party in the House, with about two bending every energy to defeat the Mills bill, and thus defer the repeal of the tobacco taxes, and one cf the ablest and most effective speeches made against this bill was the Bpt'joh of Mr. McKinley himself.

He writes fine platforms at Cuicago.and his associates applaud him, and he and they then go back to Washington and vote the otner way. The plat form says further "If there shall still remain a larger revenue than is requisite for the wants of the government, we favor the entire repeal of the internal taxes rather than the surrender of any part of our protective system. To this there could be no more complete rejoinder than that made by the New York Herald, which says The Dlatforni commits the Repub lican partv flatly against all reform of the tariff. demands the repeal of the tobacco and whiskey taxes if this is necessary to abolish the but rdus: but it takes care in o'ber sec tions to declare for expenditures, for subsidies, for pensions, for internal improvements and other purposes on so vast a scale as to swal'ow up any reform or decrease in taxation. The Republican party is the sys tematic and consistent defender of the treasury surplus.

Many of its representatives in Congress have taken the position in their speeches that a surplus is a and with this idea and with their extravagant ideas about pensions, subsidies, the time will never when in their view "there shall still remain a larger revenue than is requisite for the wants of the govermaajit." This PROCEEDINGS YESTERDAY SENATE AND HOUSE. MB OEOBOX OH THS FISHXBIIS TBXATTf POSTOFTICl APPROPRIATION BIU 15 THS HOUSI OTHIB 5IWS. Bv Telegraph (9 the Mews and Observer. WasmiroTOM, July 13 Sehate. The Senate at 12 30 went into executive session and Mr.

George resumed and finished the speech beg en by him yesterday in avoi" of the ratification of the fishery treaty. When Mr. George had concluJeii, Mr. Dolph, of Oregon, followed iif speech in opposition to the ratification of the treaty. Mr.

Pugh gave notice that he woujd address the Senate on the fisherj treaty next Monday. After the adoption of a couple of resolutions of inquiry directed to the departments and the transaction of some business affecting the District -of Columbia the Senate adjourned till Monday. 1 I mm. Mr. Blount, of Georgia, submitted the conference report on the post-office appropriation bill.

Agreement has been arrived at on all the amend-, ments except that known as the "subsidy" amendment. The rate of postage on Beeds, plants, bulbs, rodts and scions has been fixed at one cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof. is provided that no contract for rent of third-class postoffioes shall be made for a longer period than one year. The report was agreed to and then Mr. Bingham, rjf Pennsylvania, moved to concur in the Senate "subsidy" amendment with, an amendment reducing the appropriation from $800,000 to $450,000, authorizing the Postmaster-General to increase the mail facilities not only between the United 'States and Central America, South America and the West Indies, but between the United States and China, Japan, the Sandwich Islands and Australia and providing that American ships carrying mails shall be allowed four times the rate of compensation they sow receive.

The debate on the amendment Occupied the entire session till the fite o'clock recess. The question presented in the amendment, said Mr. Bingham, was not one of subsidy 'or Bonus but a question as to readjustment of compensation under the law of .1858 as applied to the sailing of American steamships under the existing conditions of 188S. The steam ship companies were not paid by weight out by the amount of sea and inland postage, and therefore any change in the rates of postage effected a change in the compensation paid to them, and when the law was passed under which the present method of payment was es tablished the rates of foreign postage varied, but averaged more than four times what they are at pres ent under the International Postal Union, and be contended that under these circumstances it was not just to compensate the steamship companies n6w under the inflexible law of 1858. Mr.

Blount, of Georgia, opposed the motion to concur, and expressed his firm antagonism to the subsidy system. That system had been fbl- owel by England, but her action in this respect was political, the subsidies she had given having, as a general rule, gone to her colonies, with which she must keep tip her connection. The same system as followed by France and Germany had resulted in throw ing the lines of these nations into bankruptcy, and be was opposed lo the united States inaugurating such policy, lie compared the 00m pensation paid for mail transports lion by sea with that paid for trans portation of freight and express mat ter to substantiate his argument that the former was sufficiently high and perfectly satisfactory. It was satisfactory to the commercial world arid to every one except the ship-owners. The lines to (Jhina ana to Austria now received from fifty to one hundred times more for mail transporta tion- than it did for freight, and yet it was proposed by the pend ing amendment to give it four times much as it now received, lie spoke by authority when he said that the Postmaster-General was in favor of payment of sea and inland postage only.

The Postmaster-General favor ed neither tho amendment of tee Senate nor the amendment of the gentleman from Pennsylvania, but hje believed that the existing provision's for the ser7ice were ample and that today the United States had the best mail system on earth. Mr. Dingley, of Maine, hoped that whatever objections might be raised to the Senate amendment they ought not to affect the House in the decis ion of the simple question presented by the amendment of the gentleman from Pennsylvania. That amend ment involved a fair and reasonable mail pay no subsidy pay sufficieat to justly compensate the American steamships which plied between the United States and South America and the east and enable them to be main tained; pay sufficient to establish other American lines to run to the countries of South America with whom we desired closer mail and com mercial relations. The amendmen gave substantially the same basis Of pavment as wa provided by the law of 1858 for the reason that the rate of sea and inland postage was today hardly more than one-fourth of what it had been in 1858.

Mr. Holman, of Indiana, attacked the principle of the subsidy. Ms, Owen, of Indiana, discussed i 11 me amendment irom me oommercia point of view, and advocated it as means of advancing the business in terests of the United States in the great consuming countries of South America. i Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, said thai the argument that American shipping did not exist because of the rebellion which occurred twenty-five years ago was to him all stuff and nonsense, all fuss and feathers.

The trouble was that tho government had put the merchant marine in a sort of straight jacket.
