Lyle, ACOom panied by four asaiatants, seat oat by the Government Centos Deprxt- •ment, arrived at Baleigb, N. 0, from Washington for the pu. pose of taking amount of the recorded indebtedness of the State. The osnsos men had struck a snag when thsy went Into the office of the clerk of the court there, over which Mr. Charles D. Upchurch prosides. Mr. Upchurch stated that be bad declined to allow census canvass to have access to his records. His reason for this was that work which was wall paid for ought to be given to North Carolina men and not to agenta sent ont by the Federal gov ernment from Washington City. Mr. Upchurch says that sometime ago he had some correspondence with Mr. Porter, superintendent ol ,the Census Department, about the matter. He informed him then that the work conld be done without any trouble supposing that North Caro lina men would be commissioned to do it Ho heard no more of it until the Washington men arrived here. When they applied at hia office for permission to canvass the records he informed them that he would uot al low them to do so. Upchurch aaya It is a matter of principle with him and not mousy, as he does not ex* peot to make anything by his no tions. The remarkable feature of the case Is that Upchurch is a Republi can and has held the office of clerk for many years under Republicans. The census agents are non-plussed . and do know how to proceed. OHIO POLITICS. - The death of Senator Asburue, of Ohio, offers an opportnnity to Na tional Chairman Quay to nse his po litical methods in Ohio. If a repub lican can be elected in the vacant district the Demo»rsticginajority will be wiped out in the Senate. The present; System of districting the state for congressional representa tion is tho resalt of a republican ger rymander, and itia well known that the democrats intend to district the state at once. Of course they can not do so if deprived of tin majority in thej senate. Once rediatrietod, Ohio ironld probably send fifteen democrats and fifteen republicans. This might give the democrats a ms jority in the next national hon8e,and that is what Quay and the coal and iron barons of Pennsylvania are not going to allow if their money can prevent it. The republican mana gers of Ohio haTe appealed to Quay *nd the fourth district is to be plen tifully furnished with the “sinews of war" They are encouraged in this by the. fact that ex-Representa- tive McKeever, who was first nomi nated last fall, and on account of an escapade was obliged to withdraw from the ticket, ww probably try to secure the democratic nomination to succeed Senator AsVarne. He is very.unpopular, and Should he be nominated a liberal use o^money by the republicans might defeat him. re of s nth G has enacted the following i conforming to the demand made, mainly and almost entirely through the persistent efforts of the Commissioner ot Tennessee. The i le as follows; An act to amend Section 1195 of the general stain**, relating to taia os co'- lon bales. Seaton 1. That eectton 1196 of the general aUlors relating to tare oa bales of couoa, be, and the same hereby is ' d by striking ont the whole of aaM and inserting tbs following In lief thereof, so that mid section, as amended, ■bail nad aa follow*: Sec. 1195. Tba custom of making a de duction from tbs actual weight of bales of nnmaaoractared cotton, as an allowance of breakage or draft thereon, is abolished; all contract* made in rdsikm to saeb cot ton shall be daemad and taken as referring to the tree and actaal weight thereof wttbi out deduction; sod no tate shall be deduct ed from the weight of sneb balm of oot. ton except the actaal weight of the bag ging and ties need in baling said cotton. j Sec. 2. Taat this act anil take effect from and after the 1st day of September; 189a &-C.& That all acts or parts of acts If conflict or Inconsistent with the provisions of this act be and the same are hereby re pealed. And whenever It shall be agreed between the buyer and the seller to deduct lam on cotton bales, it shall be as follow*: For bales of cotton covered with yards of standard tara shall be and ' pound*; and tor with aeven yards of standard jots barging and six Iron ties the tare shall be and ia hereby fixed at twenty four pound*; and when buyer and seller agree to sell at net weight, and when bales of cotton are cor ed with aeven yard* of standard cotton bagging and afx iron ties the actaal tare shall be and ia hereby fixed at sixteen pound*; and when balm of cotton am oov- ertdwith aeven yards of standard jute bagging and aix ten ties the actual tare ■ball be sod la hereby fixed at twenty- fonr pounds. Now let the the legislatures of the other cotton states come forward and back South Carolina in her deter mination to help the farmers in their war against the iniquitous jute trust- There is neither reason nor justice in the buyer deducting a greater tare from cotton bales than the covering and ties authorize. There is just as much reason in making tho planter lose half of his cotton, demand 20 pounds tars when the actual loss docs not aggregate fifteen pounds. It is not right to leave the cotton growers to fight the buyers and manufacturers single-handed and alone. The legislature of South Carolina did right to come to their aid, and if all the other Southern states will now do likewise, not only the jnte trast, bat the Liverpool dies tators, will be overthrown.

They commence at Roan oke Citywith a largo force. The work will necessarily bo slow, but it ia the company’s intention ultimate ly to double-track the whole line from Lynchburg to Bristol. The prevailing sentiment of Sooth Carolina is opposition to Senator Butler’s bill to colonize the negroes; It is argued that they are needed in the cotton and rice fields, and no other labor can be found to take there places. The race problem is be coming more difficult every year, but outside of politics the negro docs very welL Gen. A. M. West introduced a memorial in the Mississippi legis latare asking congress to disfran chise the negro. It declares that “negro suffrage has failed in theory and practice; that the efiort to cor relate the races as equals in citizen ship is utterly vain and mischievous to the iast.degree,” and that in ex change for the strife and bloodshed, the estrangement of the races, the intensification of the sectional will and the unequal treatment the colored people, the Sooth has only received “ the single considers lion of a certain increase of Federal ane National representation.” The memorialists hold that, “as enfran chisement of the negro has proved the main cause of the race discord, we may reasonably expect its abro gation to lead to at least a partial restoration of the old-time race con cord,” and, therefore, they pray that jthe Fifteenth Amendment to Consti tution shsll be annulled.? - The number of negroes who have left Raleigh, N. C., within the past few months have secured the fact that the county will go Democratic at the next election. Heretofore the county has always been Republican by a good maiority. There are a large number of men in this division anxious to act as census enumerators, The position pays from $50 to $300, and requires from a month to six weeks to do the Work. The Supervisor says that the dd enumerators will be given a pre ference, where they proved them selves suitable men. ! ■ A PRETTY FES. — 38.. A Lawyer in Atlanta Wishes to Praeli ce but Can’t Do It. .. . ; y— Atlanta, January 22.—[Special.- A. B. Walker is the name of a col ered lawyer, of no political party, -who came here from Canada several months ago. He is of no political party, as he expresses it, because he comes from Canadaand knows nothingabout Amer ican politics. I * He la in a very peculiar fix and seeking someway out of it. He was horn in Canada, but gradu ated as a lawyer at the National uni versity in Washington, D. C. Returning to Canada, Walker settled in St.Johns, New Brunswick, where he practiced law for years. • A few months ago he came to Atl&n ta, bringing with him the highest cre dentials from the chief justice of tho su preme court of Canada, members of the Canadian parliament and others. Walker wishes to practice law here, but he cannot, as there is a statute for bidding any foreigner to practice in the courts until he has resided in the Unit ed 8tates for two years, and files papers declaring his intention lo remain a res ident of this country. This be proposes to do, but in the meantime his occupation is gone, and he can do absolutely nothing. Walker is trying to find some way over this mountain of difficulties in his path but has not been at all successful, as the only way be can get around the law would be to get a special act through the legislature fer bis benefit. Even if thiB were possible that body does not meet until next November. To say the least, Walker is badly ‘in the soup.” Artiste, i. SCOTT-SIDIIONS, la her Celebrated spirit*.
