Baldwin jStates 'that $ it i would take t wp million -dollars : to, set it ; upon: its feet,. He is the rascal who stole and misapplied the funds.

Do not these .things .show' that men are becoming .more corrupt, that. dishonesty is more general, and that, in, the future there must come great f financial ruin. ?. Ii does seem that ( it ... is , impossible to find who may be trusfed and who must be . avoided. V Honesty should be at a premium, when it is found. Since the ; war rascality and crime have been on tlie increase, ; During the last ten or twelve years , the list of defaulters has been very long and startling, and it still grows. , . : i It would, be instructive .to .have a full listjiif such wem possible, of all, the defalcations that have occurred in the tTnited States since 1865. , It wonld be instructive to have added all the mercantile, failures that wre dishonest that were rascally. It is well, for the country to know who are the plunderers and embezzlers., j The New York Tones gives a gliiripse at the dishonesty ( of officers in banks. It is enough to set men to thinking as to .the ominous indica tions of future financial, trouble and the value of men of real integrity and . reliableness. The following is instructive: . v "Between July,-873, and December 81,; 1877, both inclusive the names of mare than three hundred firm in this country ' inert pufc lixJied a embezzler or defaulters tn um over $5,000, while doubtless scores more es caped publicity. In many cases the thefts amounted to hundreds of thousands; in one or two to millions. ' They were not humble, uneducated men who did these things.; To read the antecedents of most of those who figure in this black list might well make those persons despair who have supposed "education to' be the great preventive of crime. Let ! us- take, hap-hazzard, a ' few cases: Charles T. Carlton, Secretary Union Trust Company. New York, $400,000,' (dead); Charles H. Phelps, Cashier State Treasury! Department, Albany, $300,000; J. C. Duncan, Bank President, San Fran-; Cisco, $750,000; Stephen Wardwell, Cashier Commercial National Bank, Providence,R. I., $20,000: David Gage,. City Treasurer. Chicago, 1 111., $500,000; Theodore ' Wick, Treasurer, Ohio, $90,000; Water Commis sioner, Pittsburg, Penn. , $500,000 ; Henry Nicoll, Chairman Executive Committee of the Bar Association, New . York, $200,000; Abraham Jackson, lawyer and President, : Boston, Mass., $300,000; John It. Morton, Philadelphia, $1,000,000; G. Van Hollern, City Collector. Chicago, $130,000; John C. Tracy, Bank President, Hartford, Conn., falsification of accounts to the extent of $600,000; Hildreth .& Tighe, lawyers and agents, New, York, over $100,000; both were pillars of their respective churches, as in deed were many other embezzlers." 3Ir. Atkinson, the Boston statisti cian!, shows that the cotton grown in the! jSouth; during . the sixteen, years after . the Wir excelled : by thirteen million bales that, produced' during the last sixteen years preceding the war. He .does this to show that slave labor was less productive than free labor. But the rule is not fair. Before the war the planters were not stimulated to raise all the cotton pos sible by high prices. The cotton raised was equal to . the demands of the world. But - there isi -one fact worth-considering as it ? is. presented by a writer in the Charleston Neids and Courier. , ; It is this: that the six teen years just before the war exceed ed by 22,705,120 bales the production of the sixteen years that preceded that period, i i . This shows, there was steady progress in the growth of cot ton before the war, as there has been steady progress since. But does this increase make more money really for the people? v L Mahoneism received a slight, bruise under the right eye in that Stathara business.

This delay, ;we .understand, as was intima ted in a letter published in the Stab from Capt. James. Mercur, of Norfolk, the en gineer in charge, "' to Mr. A. II. Van Bok kelen. President of the Chamber of Con merce of this city, iri response to inquiries from him, has been due ; to ) the usual '"red tape", in connection with . such --matters; which , . has resulted . so. r far. t in ,.; the failure on the part of j the . goyeni ment to pay he $16,000 and secure the title Which is 'ready " to be surrendered at any ' moment. This matter, 'we ' are now glad to understand, will be attended to in a few days, when there will "be nothing in the way of prosecuting the . survey. It was very desirable that this should have been attended to during the iongontinued low water in the river,' and if this ' opportunity fehall prove to have been lost by the seem ingly unnecessary delay, it will doubtless be long before such another one occurs, and the work may after all have to , be prose cuted under the disadvantages which will result from a high stage of water. Forepaujb' Clrcnt. The . Augusta Chronicle and Conlita tionalisl has this to say of Forepaugh's Cir cus, which is to be in Wilmington on the 12th of Novemiwr : . j' ! We have never seen as fine a circus dis play in Augusta. ; Unlike most exhibitions of the kind, the wagons were not strung out at long distances from each other to make the processiou appear; to . be a very lengthy one, but were as close together as they could well le put. The representatiye of Lalla Rookh, advertised as the most beautiful woman in America, created a sensation as she rode in her howdah on the back of the tallest elephant. , The entire procession was i very gorgeous affair, arid Was very highly spoken of by everybody who saw it. . ; . ; .j - 1 The great tent was packed to its. utmost capacity at both the afternoon and evening performances, j We have never, seen sq many people inside a circuss tent. The show was undoubtedly worthy of the pa-; tronage. it received. The performance is first class. There were two rings, and acts were going on in -both almost constantly.! The trick stallions were wonderful in their tricks: The artistic pad riding by ' Marie Ashby and Rosina Dubsky, Was very intet esting. Both performers are capital rider?. They are very easy and graceful. The lofty trapeze act by Mile Victoria surpassed any-; thing of the kind that we have ever seen.; The audience almost held their breath a; she performed her daring feats , swinging in' mid-air. The jthree Herberts are equal, if, not superior, to the Hanlons in their acro batic feats. The tumbling was excellent'; Zuila gave a remarkable exhibition on a wire stretched high above the ground. She walked across it blindfold, then with; baa-; kets on her feet and finally rode across it on' a velocipede iThe bicycle riding' ; by the Villion troupe; was' altogether novel and showed remarkable, skill and nerve. The; performing elephants gave an exhibition" demonstrating to what an extent the un- wieldly animals can be trained. They; showed almost ; human intelligence. John' Worland, the champion trick leaper bf the ; world, gave a j wonderful .; performance iri! leaping. Loyal, the man meteor, was shot; upward from a huge mortar, and was caught; by Zuila, who was suspended head down-! ward from a swing a considerable distance above. Joseph Ashly rode four horses at; once in a very skillful manner. We can recommend the show to the press: and people of other places as decidedly tlie '. best that has ever visited the south. The Bice Trade. Our rice mills seem to be creating , quite a revolution in the trade in that cereal in; the northeastern section of the State, where upland rice is Ij fast becoming the leading product, and it should be a source of grati fication to all to see the trade in that article! being diverted so perceptibly from its usual channels and taking its natural course in the direction bf the commercial metrbpj ohs of the; State. ; Fctrmerly all the rice in that important section that was shipl ped at all found its way to Charleston and other ports outside of our own State, but now the great bulk of the crop will proba bly come to Wilmington. To give some idea of the extent bf the trade in this article at present We would state that five thousand bushels of rough rice are expected to arrive here by vessel to' the order of the Ca rolina Rice (Mills to-day, and that other large cargoes are on ' the way. In addition to these shipments by water there are also (constant arrivals of rice by train7 shipped atr Newbern and averaging at the lea8t"ealculati6iTbne "car load per day since the 15th tf October:5 ,? 5 f Foreign Exports for October. ; The following is a statement of the" foreign exports from this port for the month! of October just closed, as compiled fronT the books in the Custom House: ; " : : ..

The present management have; worked most' faithfully ' to complete this road, but the want, of . money lias hin dered them. The arrest and trial of Bone Taylor has proven to be very expen sive, k He was twice arrested, : For the first the State paid a reward of two hundred dollars and the county of Moore five huh dred dollars, and for the second . arrest the State paid, two hundred dollars, making nine hundred dollars paid for his two trials ; and the costs of his imprisonment and trial were! as much more, a total cost t of nearly two thousand dollars. A: few such -cases would bankrupt a county. This, case is a striking I illustration ' of the costliness j of crime. i r Statesville Landmark : ..

Mr. James Smith, a respec table and well-to-do farmer of Gwaltney's township, Alexander, county, aged 56 years, was engaged on the 21st in stacking up wood for winter use, when the pile fell and rolling over him killed him instantly. Mile Tomlin, ! colored, was out hunt ing, last Saturday, with a single-barrel pot metal shot-gun, which, when fixed at a squirrel, brought down the owner. It ex ploded, and pieces of it striking him in the face inflicted painful injuries upon him. Very recently Mr. J. W. Parker, of the Cabinsville jurisdiction, has lost 52 chickens by weasels, 16 of this number in one night. . A couple ofweeks ago Mr. J.

At 750 o'clock in the morning there was a blinding flash followed by . a . deafening report.
