Washington Letter. From Our Correspondent. Washington, D. C-, Mar. 6th, The United States Treasury is bankrupt, as far as the reckless and extravagant appropriations voted by the Congress can make it so, and it would be actually so to-day if all of the had to be paid at once. In the dying hours of the Fifty-first Con- the Republicans threw conscience, of a here- after and every other restraining influence overboard, and boldly voted for every possible thing that promised to assist in the looting the Treasury, which leaders had agreed upon for the purpose of confronting the Democratic Con- with a deficiency. Old claims that had been refused a hundred times were tacked on the appropriation bills, and railroaded through, extra salaries were voted to who are already paid beyond their deserts, and money was scattered around in every as though the Treasury was overflowing with a surplus, as it was two years ago when turned over to I be Republicans. Where the money is to come from to pay all of these wild is more than any one can see at this time; it isn't the Treasury nor can it possibly get there under the present methods of taxation. Two years of Democratic economy in the Horse and a purging of the pension rolls the frauds thereon may pull the country through with- out making It necessary to put new taxes the already tariff people.

THE EASTERN REFLECTOR, Greenville, N. C. d. Proprietor. AT POST OFFICE AT Mail Matter. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11th, 1801. Adjournment of Congress. Congress seems to have ed in somewhat a pow-wow. Mr. forward a of thanks to Speaker Reed for his and impartial which was passed by a strict party vote, all the Demo- voting against it. This was the first time since days of James K. Polk that Congress has failed unanimously to thank their Speaker. If Mr. Reed had any sense of decency about him, it would be a stunning blow to him. But he seems to have lost all for himself or any body else, and therefore it is hardly probable that he cares anything about it. We hope such a thing never occur again in our country, and we think it never will unless by misfortune Mr. Reed gets back into the Speakers chair. The Republican members kind- forgot themselves and began singing through when they should have sung Marching Home to come back no more, as a large majority of them have passed days as Con- Last summer when the Demo- left the hall in order to break a quorum, the Republicans had a photograph taken and circulated through the country with the Democratic seats empty. The people thought this should not be so, and at the last election they calculated they would fill the seats and now those seats will be full, and still they will have a few left to spare the Republicans, as that side will not have enough of their own to make a decent show. The Republicans tried to vote themselves in power forever, but the people voted them out before they could so. Granny Blair said he wanted bayonet behind every ballot, but he will get Dem- behind them, and make him run more quickly than bayonets, although he has no special bravery in time of war. . . . . The Democrats recognizing that the great danger which had threat- them for two years was over very appropriately sung God from whom all blessings The people in the galleries took up the song and completely drowned the singing, of the Re- publicans, showing that they as well as Democratic Congressmen recognized from whence blessings and dangers come. The was the largest Congress we have ever had, and it did almost except increase taxes and deplete the treasury. The next Congress will have a difficult task to regulate matters, will this be so when they have little mule-headed Benny in the White House to contend with. In the Senate things a lit- better. It thanked Mr. Morton unanimously for his rulings, and the resolution was brought for- ward by our own Democratic Sen- Ransom. The Senate is the conservative body of our country. We hope it will never turn to such a body as the. last House was, although it tried to be made such for a partisan purpose. In the Lenoir Topic there re- appeared an article on forming a separate State out of Western North Carolina with as the capital. In last week's issue there was a from Pennsylvania on the same subject. They seem to think it possible that a new State may be formed out of part of North Carolina, add rather seem to We know that North Carolina is one and indissoluble. The people of North Carolina are bound together by ties that cannot be broken by mere per- or political purposes. It would not wise nor prudent to attempt such a thing. It may be that such be the case at some future day. put not in our days nor as soon even as the days of our grandchildren. Two weeks ago some exchange remarked there being mud over the State, when the son Advance jumped up and called him saying is no mod in The Advance flops right over in the next issue and goes to kicking at the city fathers because have to board the train and get off in the From which we infer that Wilson its fall share of mud that can't be covered up. The Legislature selected as Railroad Commissioner Maj. J. W. Wilson, of Mr. E. C. of Wake county and Capt. Thomas W. Mason of Jackson, N. C. We are not per- acquainted with the gen- but from what has been said of them by the press, it is probable that no better selection could have been made. These are gentlemen of the highest and integrity, and reflect honor on their State. One is from the east, one from the mid- and one from the west. Mr. was the one who introduced the railroad com- mission bill which was defeated two years ago in the legislature. We would suggest to i hat be might add a new to his show, which is now in Europe, by employ- the of Congress to repeat daily, for the edification of the adherents of the the which they have enacted so often during the of the Fifty-first Congress. The ex- would not be great, as most of the repudiated politicians would be glad to go for their expenses, order to avoid having to return to their constituents before time shall have kindly glossed over some their most misdeeds. Cotton is still low, and it is very probable that it will remain so for some time yet, at least until the present crop is sold. The proper thing for our far- to do is to raise less cotton and more wheat, corn, pork, beef and other necessaries of life, when they can be hero cheaper than they can bought. North Carolina is a good grain State, and would be better off if we should raise a greater variety of crops, and thus do away with so many mortgages. Economy and industry the things to be used by our people. Mr. says the verdict last election was not based on the public legislation of last It seems that he is trying to palm off the defeat on the President, but it is very probable that he told the truth instead of a joke. The tariff law and pension acts were more of private than public legislation. It was this private legislation that beat them. There is more truth than joke his saying. The anti-free coinage element seems very fond of saying the dollar is worth but eighty cents. Tho Birmingham Age advertises to give ninety five cents each for them as many as will bring. We can find use for several and we make the same offer. Te gold bugs bring them, and you will get gold for them. Somebody said that Mr. Harri- son's selection of Foster, of Ohio, to be Secretary of the Treasury, indicated the adoption by tho administration of a new South- policy. If one may judge by the nomination of the disreputable Hill, to be postmaster at Miss., the new policy is a shade or two blacker than the old one. The death of Senator Hearst was a double misfortune to the try and the democratic party. The party loses the services of an level headed Senator, and owing to the Governor of California being a republican, that party will gain the vote of his successor for the term, which ends March 3rd, 1893. No wonder Quay got disgusted with his republican colleagues and wont fishing.

Listen. This is how tho affair Divested of all superfluity of detail, for which there was neither nor strength, the facts of the case were Some fifty years before there had been a quarrel in one branch of the Royal family over tho disposition of property vested in northern ties. Tho family consisted of two broth- and a sister, and tho property be- longed to a maiden aunt who made her home with them. Tho mint's affections seemed pretty equally divided be- tween nephews and niece, and without overt declaration to that effect on her part, tho family feeling had been that the young people share and share alike in the property. When, on tho old lady's death it had been dis- covered that the entire estate had been willed to the niece without reservation, the nephews not unnaturally suspected, and what is more, being men of choleric temper, proclaimed aloud that there had been undue influence. It is true that, while tho men disported themselves according to their pleasure, the woman had nursed and tended her relative with loving care and patience. this did not strike the brothers as fording sufficient reason for the will be- made unequivocally in their sis- favor, anxiety and care and household pains and troubles fell rally within a woman's province. Per- haps they recognized the family foible, too, and the fact that to those who love dominion the possession of wealth is apt to secure it. They forbore from suit to break the will, first because the family lawyer assured them that they had not a leg to stand on. and furthermore because their very souls abhorred a public scan- They made evident their sense of wrong in forcible and intemperate giving their sister to understand that they were distinctly disappointed in her, and then leaving her to her For many years family relations were it in time to make new arrange- somewhat strained, and then the war There's no telegraph omen at their station, and a message would go past and have to be sent back by mail.

Miss Royal, by that time a nor on n romance, retired to a lonely plantation in the mountains of Virginia, where she an isolated life, filled only with old books, old influences and old neighbors of her own caste worn accessible were people with view Mr than her own. Her life and environ- to foster conceptions of duty and of moral obligation as to the world at large be and, time went on, her views became more and more unpractical, conservative and romantic. She was a woman of sturdy will and domineering spirit, and, while kind of heart prune to let that kindness flow only along channels of her own making. Her northern property, safely invested and well cared for, suffered no change by the chances of war. and gave her, in her own eyes and those of other people, a fictitious but readily admitted value. Whether her conscience smote her about the money or not, the family feel- so strong in the south, in spite of wrong and insult, and when the war brought troubles and financial straits to the brothers the sister rallied to them, helping them through many a tight place, only stipulating that she should have her own way in regard to time and method. Her influence in her family increased in ratio proportionate to her ability to play Providence to them, and playing the procession for other people in accord- with her own ideas of that which would best was. as has been stated, the role for which the self willed lady considered herself peculiarly adapted. When one died, leaving be- hind him a motherless and only of tender years. Miss adopted his child and brought her up as her own. She also displayed vivid interest in the eon of her other brother, not only be- cause he was a lad of parts and promise, but also because he had been called John after a beloved whoso untimely death had caused her to pass through life. She boil the boy with her continually, and charged herself with his education and establish- in a profession. That the idea of a marriage between the cousins develop in her mind was only to be ex- Consanguinity was not an objection to marriage in the of her day, and she had plated a union for herself. This nephew and niece formed her strongest outlet, and she will- to let their lives diverge from here or from each other's. She wanted to blend her past with their so that, in some way, they might live out the life she had pictured for herself ere John Hart had passed into the infinite. Her motive tho highest of which she was capable. yearned for hap- for them, it never occurred to her that it could lie secured in ways than those of her own devising. Her idiosyncrasy is not remarkable. Human love in its manifestations is apt to lie compelling and coercive. Matters went smoothly, for the boy's choice of a profession fell in with her wishes for him. There hod always been physicians in the Royal distinguished ones. The love of healing might be said to run in the blood. At John Royal re- turned from Philadelphia with his dip- in his pocket, and further fulfilled his destiny by falling in love with his cousin Phyllis, then a girl of A boy- and-girl marriage was no part of Miss Royal's plan for the young people. She wanted John to a distinguished surgeon, and as his whole heart, or rather mind, was set on his profession, yielded readily to his wish for a few years in the Vienna and Paris hospitals. An engagement between the cousins was sanctioned, the understanding was that tho marriage should take place as soon as. in her aunt's opinion, Phyllis should be old enough. Of the reasons for six delay of his marriage, and of his residence during that abroad, John Royal did not speak; they were not germane to the matter in hand. wish was to sent the main facts of tho case and to force upon his listener the necessity for immediate action. At the end of the years news had come of his aunt's sudden death, and with it a letter from her executor in- forming of tho terms of her will. These were a little singular, and more than a arbitrary, which, however, was in accordance with tho character of the testatrix. Tho property, of value and duly enumerated, with the exception of a small legacy or two, was left absolutely to John Hart Royal and Phyllis Royal as a marriage gift, pro- their marriage to each other should take place between tho hours of and o'clock on Dec. In the event of the not taking place on the day and during tho appointed, were restrictions laid upon the property which would prove serious annoyance to tho legatees; and in the further event of the marriage not taking place at all, the entire property was to lie converted into money and divided, share and share alike, among her kindred of Royal blood from tho first to the third degree, Phyllis and John to have an equal portion with the rest, not a more on behalf of nearer kinship. Tho story was given in short sentences, with rents to spare the patient's strength. The energetic brain of the listener grasped the situation in its and his sympathies were more than ever moused. To him it appeared a terribly advantage to take of the power which the possession of wealth confers. His first restive impulse was to say, the money go to the devil, and marry tho young lady to suit your- but a glance the face before him sent back tho words unspoken. A well man, hale strong, afford to assert his independence, to take his own a-d that of another into his own hands. But when a man lay dying the case was different; he must do that which he could, not that which he would, to secure the future of tho an thrown so absolutely upon his honor and protection. Royal's pity for tho pair grew and he felt that there was not much ho would stick at to misery entailed by that In- as ho styled it in his thought. many he queried, forgetful that bis own name might entitle him to a position as residuary legatee.

Em- a man of action, prompt in conception, prompt also and untiring in execution. Dr. Royal's mind worked habitually along positive lines. To rush at a difficulty and carry it by assault was the method which most ed itself to him, and the active, practical of the frontier had fostered his proclivities. There was little of the and shaking on the so condemned of the English wit Hart To scramble as well he could might be reckoned his of conduct.
