which lnadu llfo a burden to Garfield the

the difference being that the places now

cause of this rush just nt this time is tbe
provision made in tho Legislative and

From oca Rkciular CosKKsroKDKNT.
Washington, D. C, July 22, 1RS2,
If this Washington season has been a
dull one iu respect of Congressional pro.
ceedings, it bus ' .-en a very lively one for
scandals, aud with regard to this it may
be said that the public outside of Wash
ington hears but .i portiou of what is re-
ported from mouth to mouth here. It is
a question whether Washington is really
any worse than other places of immoral!
ty. But tbe espionage of tbe habits of
public men is here rather closer aud morn
willing to make news of discovered fail
ing than it is elsewhere. If tbe truth
were kuown, It would probably be dem
onstratc-d that most of the mature men
who figure iu scandal here did not firs
lapse from virtue in the District of Co
lumbia. Tbey aro apt to be more reck
less here than at home, although there i
reason enough for greater prudence, be
canse there is here a class of despicable
characters who resort to means of obtain
ing influence which publlo men would
have little need to beware of in tbeir own
neighborhood. Elsewhere men are black
mailed only for tbe sake of money; here
tbey are also blackmailed for votes or fo
patronage. There are politicians who do
not scruple to use any knowledge they
may obtain affecting tbe moral reputation
ot others for their own advantage, and
there are some who. without reason, are
susptcted of emplojiug spies and deteo
tivis to Beaten out such information.
The hours passed iu the galleries of tin
Senate and House furuish amusement
at some times and iustruclion at others.
Iu tbe Senate oue. Is, of course, better
able to see aud bear than iu the Houko,
aud you can easily study tbe faces and
figures of many men of whom fume or
popular report lias bad much to say

Democrats and the right-hand side by
tbe Republicans. Among the furmerone

ard. Leaning over him is Mr, Lunar an
Senator once Coufederutu General Wadi
Ilauijitou sits a little beyond. Tbo most
prominent figure on the llepubllrau sid
19, beyond a doubt, that of Senator Ed
uiuutU, of Vermont, "the watch-dog of
una uream uis neoK, mat man win go tue Senate," He is a tall jnau. with
straight to heaven.as sure as God Is God; t,.nnj neaty white, and presents a fine
appearance as he stauds upright in hi
closely. filting blue coat. No man has
made a better record fur unflinching in.

EOJOURKINO AH0NO the TAR-HEELS.
Mn. EoiTon Tbe old geographers
taught yon and I iu our boyhood elays
that "pitch, tar, turpentine, and lumber
o instituted the staple products of Noith
Carolina." Hence the steadfast, fragraut
sobriquet of "tar-htels" was given to the
donlzvns of "the old North State." Of
course it was only intended as a practi
cal joke, but it has stuck, tar-like, to
sturdy, unassuming citizens for more
than half a ceut'iry. They no longer de
serve tbo epithet as the constant drain
upon the pino forests of the eastern sec
tion, which was tbe only part of the state
noted for "pi'eb, tar, and turpentine,"
has so much exhausted them that the
traffic in their product is now said to be
comparatively unimportant, notwith
standing that the gross receipts for the
year 1878 was $2,444 78?. Many of theso
forests have loug since. been felled to the
ground and in their stead there is now to
bo seen smiling fields of corn, cotton, etc..
which aro veritable gardens of fertility.
The area of tho state is CO 701 square
miles representing 32,450,5G0 acres. 01
this amount 19,825,410 acres are enclosed
under thegoneral title of improved lands.
The number of farmers is 93.GG5, tbe
average size being 212 acres. In prrpor
tlon to numbers she has more tree-hold
ers than any of the Atlantio Btates, and
the distribution of land is increasing in
stead of diminishing.
Land owners are beginning to see the
unprofitableness of large farms and are
becoming more and more anxious to re
duce tbeir size. Many thousand acres
are now iu market and can ho bought at
reasonable prices. Some Pennsylvauians
and West Virginians bavo recently moved
into tbi sectiou. Some bought, others
rented. Mr. F. A. Vollmer, formerly ot
Williamsport, Pa., has recently leased a
no farm, near White's Store. Anson
county, for a term of five years, at nston-
ishiug low figures. Not being able to
furnish the necessary outfit be was at
once supplied by tho owner of the farm,
who cheerfully waits for his pay until tho
money can be made from the crops grown
ou tho plantation.
A good quality of land can be bought
at from $3 to SB per acre; the best im
proved, at from $10 to $20 per acre. Near
ly all of this land is susceptible of a high
degree of improvement, having a good
clay sub soil. In glancing over a few-
back numbers of the Enquirer, publish
ed in Monroe, Union county, I noticed
tbat large jiehls of grains and vegetables
are chronicled as grown near tbat place,
such as must bn profitable to farmers in
any locality. The highest yield of corn
was from 75 to 100 bushels per acre.wblch
seems to mo to be a sufficient reuumera.
tlon for the capital, time and labor ne
cessary to produce it.
Stephen H. Parker reports a fine Cuba
yam potato, grown on his premises, which
weighed five pounds and measured twen
ty-one inches in circumference. Mr. W
Ro.,o raised a turnip which measured
27 inches in circumference and weighed
5 pouuds. A few others exceeded these
in weights and measurements. This
speaks well for the quality oftbe soil aud
fuvorablencss of the climate.
Cotton, however.ls the principal money
crop of this sectiou. Not necessarily.
but from choice. Anson county's cotton
received the highest premium at the At
lanta Exposition, which is no inconsid
erable honor.
The State Is too thinly populated to
develop its numerous resources. Tbe
working classes should bo twenty times
tbo present number. Tho state is as
large as the whole of England and three
fifths of its forests are still stauding.
Here is elbow-room for thousands of
workmen representing thevarious branob-
es of industry. Not only Is there "room
up stairs," e ccordiug to the Daniel Web
ster idea, but "down stairs," also. Ag-ricultur.ili-ts,
mechanics and miners who
lesire to earn an independent livelihood
or secure cheap homes, should at least
stick awhile among tho "tar-heels" befoie
looking further. They will doubtless be
come convinced that they are an agree
able people, aud tbat their climate is
pleasant aud healthful; their soils adapt
ed to a variety of products not excelled
by an equal extent of territory on the
Continent. Tho doors are now thrown
wide open for emigration. It is desired
in till parts of the state. Capitalists and
1 iborers from other states of the Union
are coming iu to iuvest their money or
to engage us workmen. A large number
can rlml opportunities for the accumula
tion of wealth by industry and e couomy.
An Agricultural, Mechanical and Emi
gration Society has been organized lor
some time in vbat is kuown as tbe mid
dle-section of the State, with headquart

J. T. Patrick, the Secretary, will cheer-

SIDEWALK BWATtMS,
I had occasion ou the evening of one
of tbe scorching days of last week to take
a business trip to the East. Not as far
to "tbe East" ns Asia Minor, although I
found myself surrounded by "Greeks,"
nor yet to the banks of the Nile, although
there were plenty of street Arabs. It was
only over on tbo east side of town, which
is as much of an unknown land to the
resiuents along the central ridge of ths
city, as the head-waters of tbe Amazon.
I wns first amazed, then amused, then
annoyed, rind then interested in tbe side
walk population which I encountered.
Everybody seemed to bo on tho side
walks, or at open doors and windows, and
so many children to tbe block, I never
saw before. Children of nil ages, colors
aud sexes (for therewere some who seem
ed to .bo neither wholly bays or girls but
n compouud of both) children dirty, rag
ged and vile, children decent aud clean,
children weak, nnd children lusty, chil
dren of ten carryiug other children of two,
children playing bop-scotch, tag, soldier
aud prize-fighting, children pawing over
the gutters for bits of decayed lemon,
thrown out of tbo saloons, and children
smoking stumps of cigars, likewise found
in tho refuse heap, and every mother's
son &, daughter of thecrowd talkiug.slng
ing, screaming, crying or quarreling at
the top of his or her infantile voice. Tbo
sidewalks were almost impassable, and
tbe din was terrific. Babies, clothed In
innocence and a single garment, sprawled
and rolled on the bot pavements, and
scantily-clad mothers fanned themselves
on the door steps. Looking into the dark
narrow hall ways of tbo houses, whonce
the horde had swarmed, I wondered, not
that so rainy Bbould die iu the tenement
houso districts, but tbat so many should
live. Considering tho stifling rooms in
which families are packed like sardines
in a box, I was no longer impatient with
the screaming children who blocked my
way. roor tnlngs, tuelr only salvation
ios in getting out into tbe nir, even
though that air is quivering- with mid
summer heat.

THE DEATH HATE
for the past two weeks has been alarming
Iu the week ending on the 16th the deaths
n the city numbered 1084, and In tbe
following week 1020. Of tbe first 029,
and of tbe last 614 were in houses con
taining four or more families. In each
week 371 children under 5 years of age,
died from causes generally classed as
'summer complaints," canseel or aggra
vated by want of proper food, attention
and air. Now, think of the hot, stifiing.
wretched rooms iu which most of those
371 children fought for a time, againBt
pain, sickness and death; think of the
thousiudsof poor, half-starved waifs.who
never saw the beauty of a field of waving

TltlDDNE FRESH Am FUND
which is doing one of tbe kindest and
best works ever conceived and put iuto

Is to gather up selected parties of these
poor children and, through previous ar
raugemeuts with good Iriends in tbt
country, take them for two weeks nt a
time, awuy In m the city, to the heart of
tbo fields, woods and mountains, or down
by the sea for a glorious frolic, iu such

fore. As it would be manifestly impos
sible to take all tbe poor children of New
York, the aim Is to gather up those who
are weak aud puny, but yet, able to be
moved. Caretulmen aud women go with
them to take care of them and to distrib
ute them among the hunters families,who
have agreed to receive aud care for them
during tho two wetks.
A party of 4C5 of these boys and girl ,
who, two weeks before, were sent up to
the villages nnd farms lying between
Lake Cbumpluiu aud the Adirondacks,
reinrued to tbe city on Saturday last,
coming down the Hudson on a steamer
chartered for the purpose. Tbe change
which the two weeks had made was won.

ger-d forms who set out a fortnight ago.
there were keen, brown-skinned, rosy

of pop-corn, bundles of new clothes, pic

which the kind entertainers bad bid them
good-bye aud God-speed. More than COO
ohildren have nlready been thus sent out
of New York this summer for two weeks
fun, frolio and freedom, and tho average
cost is only $3 per child. There is no
oharity more beautiful than the Tribune
Fresh Air Fund, as there are no salaries
to pay.every dollar contributed to it goes
to swell tbe number of beutficlaries of so
admirable a work.
AMERICANS ABROAD.
There is another aud a slightly differ
ent class of departures Irom tbe city.than
that above noted. It is estimated that
during tl e 'season not less than 30,000
p rsous will have "goue abroad," by the
21 lines of passenger steamers plyiug be
tween New York and E'irope. Iu 1P80,
tbe number was 19.49Q aud iu 1881, 22.
245. The mujoiity of these persons will

money and expenses while away. So

two months' notice, no berths coi Id be
