THK EFFECTS OF THE ASSASSINA- tion." . The killing of Lord Cavendish and Under Secretary Burke will be very disastrous to Ireland. The reported nvrsation with Mr. Parnell shows that he fully appreciates the magni tude of the calamity. The better i classes o ' the Irish people will no doubt repudiate all , sympathy with the assassins. - It was a most devilish deed, without any provocation, and with a certainty of entailing woes upon the country that was already suffering1 from the pangs and agonies of poverty, discontent and disorder. What effect the assassinations will have upon the Gladstone Ministry we cannot pretend to anticipate. Strange to say, the tenure of the Premier's office was becoming hourly more de icate and uncertain, and all hp. was : a statesman of because t.hft most advanced reform views. If unhampered weV' have but lit tle doubt that i Mr. Gladstone would have given Ireland liome rule a year. ago. But he is :circum vented at every turn. He has naa tne oia party of .landlords the Tories i ' ... fighting him in front all the time, whilst the Irish Home Rulers were attacking him on the flanks con- C7 - .- stantly. In addition, there were the Whig Lords landlords also who were suspicious of his movements and ready at any moment to join hands with the Tory landlords if their in terests were threatened. In fact, some few of the richest Whig Lords, the Duke of Argyll among them,- de serted some time ago Owing to a change of policy which was announced last week, there is also another threatened defection, and just as ; the Government was about ito submit to a thorough dis cussion of the new policy, and the censure, comes this terrible crime in Dublin, by which two members of the Government are murdered in open djay. Whether the Tories will seize ijpon the critical moment and endeavjor to use the assassinations as a lever to hoist the Liberals from power J or whether ; the murder of Lord Cavendish and Mr. Burke will notserfve to unite the Liberal forces, bring back to them the recalcitrant Whigs and even attract : to their support the Irish Home Rulers, will be made manifest within a few houfs. We ar rather inclined to hope that the murders will strengthen ' the Liberal Government at home. Upon its continuance in power depend the future j prosperity and peace of Ire- land. In the meantime two worthy. and eminent gentlemen are wrapped in ' their bloody robes, awaiting se pulture. The lamented Xord Cavendish was the son of the Duke of Devonshire, and brother of the Marquis of Hart ingtonj He has been for two years past f Financial Secretary of the Treasury. He and hisV family were the staunchest suppprters of Mr. Gladstone and the Liberals. He had .- i . - hne executive abilities. The Phila delphia Times of Saturday said of his, as it turas out, most unfortunate and sad appointment: .Lord Frederick Cavendish has served an apprenticeship of nearly a quarter of. a century lin positions of confidential respon- siouity under the present leaders of the Liberal party. and his aDDointment. far from indicating any doubt or irresolution: piuvca tuai; vjiciuaiuue is ueierminea lomace .-. a . - ... . .

J ...-. ! . 1 , benator-' Vance's lecture in Rich mond last Friday . evening was well received. The Dispatch says: "The; lecture lasted an hour, and was full of anecdotes and humor " illustrative of the ups and downs or politicians. The audi ence manifested its pleasure by repeated applause.. His picture of the TkOlit.ifMAn who leaves his party and goes to another was a capiwu one, and was the best feature ui,iae lecture. xhere was. a hard rain, but the crowd was large and cultivated. The State says: "His lecture on the 'Humors of Politics' was exceedingly amusing and gave great satisfaction.

It was all right to steal two States then, on l it. was all riorht to flood In- mj i w .

John A. Davenport "little John ny," a well-known trickster is the ferret ;v who : pretends to have un earthed the f orger of the letter. Rep resentative Hewitt is exonerated com pletely, says the Philadelphia Press, whilst jinother Republican, one H. G5. Wbrthington,ex-Collector of Customs at Charleston,S. C.,during Pattersons carpet-bag administration in! that State, had full knowledge of the forgery. So the manipulators are not Democrats but Republicans pre tending to support Hancock. They brought with them the old j tricks with which they were familiar and which they had practiced in the old, camp, i i If Don Cameron and Billy Ma- hone will do as indicated in a New ;York dispatch, then they will be of service to North Carolina while ad vancing their own interests. We hope their plans will be perfected and the great water power at Wel don utilized : in the manner men tioned.

Owing to a similar difficulty to that which afflicted our visitors a press of matter we were unable in our last to devote that attention I to the trip to Wrightsville on Tuesday, and the manner in which our friends of the Grand Lodge were enter- served, , A large number of vehicles of different descriptions, including wagonettes and ambulances, were brought into requisi tion, and the large crowd were not long in finding themselves in ' sight and sound of "Old Ocean." Arriving at 'Pine Grove." apt. E. ;W. JUanning's beautiful place, our visitors and their friends rested and cooled off awhile, in which latter operation they were materially assisted by a delight ful salt sea-breeze,- freighted with health and vigor, ; and then oysters were an nounced in order. All the ' paraphernalia for roasting and opening , were at hand, and soon all were regaling themselves with these t salt water ; luxuries, which was soon after succeeded by ; a 'sail oyer -to h the '' banks, " where ' our ; up country friend some of whom had never been on the sea coastjbef ore, had a full and unobstructed view -of the ocean, j with "its white-capped waves rolling shoreward and breaking on the sandy beach. A sufficiency of boats were in readiness to transport the visitors, some propelled by sail and others by oars. On their return, from the beach dinner was announced, when the 'guests seated themselves and did justice to a most sumptuous repast, of which the luscious and far-famed pig , fish formed an impor tant " feature. There was" nothing lacking in this part of the entertainment to make it all that the most fastidious could wish, and in fact Capt. -Manning's arrangements for the accommodation, entertainment and de lectation of his numerous 'sruests could scarcely have been more complete. l ne-large nartv returned home ahortlv after 5 o'clock in the afternoon, all delighted with the trip and the manner in which they had been: feasted and entertained....

A dwelling house , located ' about two iniles west of Castle Haines, near the mill of the late D. S. Sanders, in this county, occupied by Mr. C. J. Miller, was de stroyed by fire on Saturday night last, about 10 o'clock, together with its contents, con sisting of clothing, furniture,' rations, tools, etc; to the value of about $225, upon which there was no insurance. ; There were evidences to show conclusively that the house had been broken open and robbed. and then set on fire to conceal the crime. Those who first arrived at the scene saw where a staple had - been wrenched from one of the doors, and immediately after the fire search was made among the ruins for the remains of a gun which was known to have been in the house at the time, and no sign of it could be discovered.
