Ofl' For Washington.
lion. Daniel L Russell, Representa
tive in Congress from this, the Third
District, will leave here to-morrow morn
ing for Washington City, so" as to be in
good time for the opening of the called
session of the Forty-Sixth Congress. He
has engaged rooms 'at the Ebbitt House,
which will le Lis address during the ses
sion Iu a sh rt couversa iou with our report
er this merning Judga Russell took occa
sion to reaffirai bis entire devotion to the
princip'es ot the Greenback party auel to
reassert his determination to stacd by
them through good report and evil re
port. II e has strong hopes, amounting
almost to a conviction, tbt h's hahdfut oi
a party will hold the balance of power in
the orginizition of the House. There
4re fiftcea Cjngresssaen who have
gone into the Greenback caucus
and among these is reckoned Mr.
Whyle, of Pennsylvania, whe has
been claimed by the Democrats as in
tending to ceoprate witn them and who,
Mr. Randall s friends say, will vote for
him for Speaker in the Democratic caucus.
Judge Russell says that Mr. White has
stated in caucus that he would hold with
the Greenbackera provided he saw any
prospect of their obtaining the bal
ance of power in their hands,
but wou'd otherwise vote with the Demo
crats to defeat the Republicans. Mr. Kel
ly, of Pennsylvania, the well-known
Republican, is, working with the reen
baokers, but does not claim to be dis
tinctly of or with thorn. He is a candi
date for the Republiean nomination in
caucus and hopes to ride into office on
the shoulders of that party and of the
fifteen Greeabackers. It is likely, Judge
Russell thinks that his party will vote for
Mr. Kelly if by doing so they can elect
him, but they will not.under any circum
stances, vote for Mr. Garfield, but would
rather aid the Democrats in defeating
him.
I The House of Representatives i s com
posed of 293 members in all but there are
now six vacancies to be filled four from
California and one, each.inNew York and
Texas. This would leave 287 members
and of this number the Democrats must
have 144, so as to secure the organization.
Judge Russell seems almost confident
that they will net have this number pre
sent on Tuesday, but in thisj matter we
beg leave to differ with him as we feel
well satisfied that they will be there.
Coroner's Inquest.
The body of an unknown white man
was discovered floating with the tide near
Market Dock this morning about 7 o'cloGk.
It was caught and towed by & colored
man to the dock at the foot of Orange
street, when Special Coroner Leslie theld
an inquest over it. The body had evi
dently been in the water for some time
and was badly eaten by fish. So much
mutilated was the face that it was impos
sible to form any idea as to the age of the
unfortunate fallow. He wore a pair of
pants and calico shirt, but was shoeless
and hatless. He is supposed to have been
a sailor but nothing definite could be as certained
from shipping masters as no one
has been reported missing from the ship
ping in port. The bedy was turned over
to the county and interred in the public
burying ground.
Kasher Shel Bar ei
The New York Herald, of Wednes
day, has a short report of the proceed,
ings of the previous day's session of the
Convention of the above order, as also of
the banquet given in their honor on
Tuesday evening at Pythagoras Hall.
About one hundred and fifty guests were
at the table and a long line of toasts was
read. Of these only two are mentioned
ia the Herald, one, "Our Country," re
sponded to by M. W. Platzek, of New
York, and the other "The Old North
State" response by Hon. 8. H. Fish
blate, Mayor of the city of Wilmington,
N. C. Whea it is considered that there
were thirteen regular toasts and that only
two of the responses were referred to in
the Herald it will be found -out where a
handsome compliment comes in.
The "private letter received in this city
yesterday from Hazelhurst, Ga," relative
to the death of Mr. O. C. Britt, was to the
Editor of this paper and from a subscrib

that we didn't show it to anybody in the
Sun office and we don't know how in the
world our neighbor could have got the
item. Of course be didn't see it in the
Review.

President, Captain Isaac B(. Graiug:r, will
not celebrate St. Patrick's Day,4wbich oc
cur on Monday, the 17thinst., by any
public demonstration. ,The members of
the Societ, wiil meet in regalia at thair

course will be delivered by one of the
clergy on the life and services of St.

celebration.
He Mraii8 Business.
It was a very prettily written letter,
surmounted with a showy business head
and enclosing a card stating that So-and-so
was a commission merchant and grocery
dealer who bought cotton. It was dated
at a little town in South, Carolina addressed
to a dealer in this city and ordered sul
dries in the way of meal, corn, feed, &c,
amounting to about $54. The man who
"bought cotton" didn't send any money
but modestly suggested that he be allowed
thirty elays on he bill as he didn't want
to fend the money until he got the goods.
In reply he was tolel that his letter had
been received; that his busines card was a
model of typographical art and that 'it
read very prettily and looked very nicely,
as pretty and nice, in fat,now as it did
some tiro to the -house in this city
from whom he ordered ajot of goods then
and which now holds his paper on which
it would compromise for ten cents oh the
dollar, bnt that nothing in the letter
looked quite as well as 54 in greenbacks
would to the eyes of "yours very respec

Postal Law Changes New Fash
ioned Postal Cards and Envelopes.
It is not generally known that just be
fore Congress adjourned important amend
ments to the postofficei bill were agrsed
to, and that it became a law. Xhe tew
law di lies ail mailable matter into four
classes: "First, written matter; second,
periodical publications; third, miscella
neous printed matter, and fourth, mer
chandise." Another clause of the bill
provides for the double postal card and
for a letter-sheet envelope, which is to be
stamped as envelopes are now fctamped
aad a double-letter envelope. The double
postal card is in size similar to the pres
ent oe-cent card. It bears at both up
per corners a one-cent stamp, and lines
are drawn fromihe centre, sloping down
wards to each lower corner, to he written
upon. The writer of the card uses the
right hand side and the receiver uses the
left-hand side for his reply. The double
letter envelope is stamped twice, and the
sender uses the right and the receiver the
left-hand side in writing the address.
At the back of this envelope is a double
gmiaed flap, divided by a perforated line.
The lower one is used for sealing by the
sender, and tke receiver uses his knife
along the perforated line and has a new
gummed flap ready for use. The letter
sheet envelope is designed to do away
with outer envelopes. Its patentee claims
great merit for it for the reason that it
often occurs that the date at which a
writing has been mailed cannct he ascer
tained because the envelope has been lost.
Here letter and envelope are one. The
new law does not direct the postmaster
general to issue these patented conveni
ences. It only allows him tbe discretion
to do so.
The felmanac promises us fair and
fiosty weather from this date until the
21st inst. ,
A Slid Suggestion.
As the Market House is the theme of
conversation just now we would mildly
suggest that in any event our city Alder
men shonld pass an ordinance removing
hucksters, eating stands, booths and par
ticulariy cooking stalls ifrom the Market
House and devote that portion at the
lower end, as was originally intendeJ, to
the use of fish and oysters.
