of England and France, the creditors

grievances that in some way must be:

a
cli
as
cl(
sensible and jnst view, as we i in-
ne to think,) ofthe - question, and
it brings the matter : of discontent
arly before the reader, we make a
long extract. It says:
'For several veara the. ennntrv hna Twoti

Ensrlaud. who were lare creditors of th
ex-lKhedive, and who , have extorted the in
terest on the debts conlractrot hv that nhln
bui profligate monarch of the people whom"
ne jiiau aireaay plundered. As the Khedive
was a despotic ruler and his subjects had
no Ivoice in the making of these deTts,-they
slicluld not in justice be held to a strict ac
eountabnity fof any of ,them, except those
. from which they have derived benefit in.
the' way of public improvements. Of course
the; hardships to the unfortunate creditors
wonid be extreme, but the loan was made
7 with full knowledge of the fact that the
Khedive might repudiate it when closely
pressed. It was a speculative, loan and enor
mous interest was charged. .. f j
; "However, it : was formally contracted
and should be paid ; but, instead of making
concessions to the Egyptians, rendering the
' burden as light as possible, England and
France tightened the screws upon the un
fortunate people and exacted what was due
them to the uttermost farthing The Khe
dive Tvas merely khedive in name.-English
and French" officials, - paid by Egypt,' con
trolled the Government and liiviwl itiimii-
: tons taxes'to meet the interest on the for
.; eigm bonds.-. ' The burden was borne by the
.patient Egyptians in a submissive if hot
. contented ; spirit until a few. months ago.
Then the people, led by Arabi Pasha and a
few other, bold spirits, began to murmur.
I No heed was paid to their remonstrances, :
. and the tax gatherings the oppression, the
misihanagement of the Europeans contin

: was gradually expanding, and finally burst

moment in the bloody riot at Alexandria,"
, This reminds 1 us of . many money
speculators who bought North Carbr
jina bonds in the'flnsh times of Radi
calism, vwhen the scalla wags 'and the
. ; jjarpet-baggers fc held ! revelries' ; by
night and had a regular harvest j by

the ci and their 1 mud burrows in - the
fields and forced to dig the canal, not only;
without pay, but even without food, except
what they could ""pick up for themselves.
The only thing with which the Government
was liberal was "flogging, the whips of rhi
noceros hide being never idle till the work
was completed,: at a cost f 20,000 (some
say 80,000) lives. The' present writer wit-,

merciless lashes of the whips forced him to

England is alone, j She has a more
difficult task before her probably
than she anticipates. ' Her object is
conquest. She lusts after the land of
the Pharoahs. She will succeed : if
she persists, but itwill be At much

Tbe Fire In Brnnswlelc.
, The fire that has been causing such a
dense smoke west of the city for the past
three or four days, as we now learn com
menced in the neighborhood of ShOoh
church, in Lockwood's Folly . Township,
Brunswick county, on the west side of. the
Wilmington :-and Georgetown road,' and
swipt in a northerly alrectipn'to the upper
part of Town Creek," a distance of - twelve
or fifteen miles, confining itself to the west
of the road and between it and GreenSwamp.1
The fire was not as disastrous as ! it was
feared, it would be, only resulting in the' de
struction of some tlarty or forty thousand
turpentine boxes, very little fencing being
burned. But for ' the rain which came so
opportunely, however, there is no doubt
that i.Me8sr& Taylpr, . Bennett and 'others
woidd have lost heavily. "
, The rain in that section was very heavy,

risen a foot or more. ; . . " . " : , ;

hundred and fifty jfeet from the, housej in
the back part of the lot .' Nearly midway
the lot, or 'about fity feet from the stables,
are marks on the ground, or indications of
a scramble,' which jare said to have been'
made by the deceased, when he 'warfirst
shot. Then there re tracks leading from
the spot spoken of o a narrow alley on he
east side of the:'housef;thence ' into" the
street, and thence jto the "corner of ""ifthi

along this route drops of blood are plainly
visible, and about J twenty or 'thirty feet
from the corner there are indications of lan

- In ; an interviewj with i the. prisoner
Walker, in the ard. rodni, he Stated; that
he had been the victim of cMcken thi4ves'
for some time past, having lost altogether,
by this means 'abou ; forty-five, He finally
came to., the conclusion 'that he 'would
watch for the thief. ; For f this purpose he
has. remained up for several nights, and on
two of these nights he has been robbed, but
failed tq discover, thie thief ; On Saturday
night last he remained on the watch,: never
relaxing his vigilance until 3 o'clock in the
morning,, and then , had five chickens
stolen 1 from ; him, and on ' Wednesday
night lie lost two more. : " ne remained
on the watch Thursday ' night, sitting in a
chair near the kitchen ; window, with1 his
gun across bis lap, until just at 3 o'clock,
when worn put! ' with- fatigue and lack of
sleep, he was about to retire, when sPme
one was heard coming in at the front gate,
and ; feelingt the "(windows as 'he passed
along, seemingly ' with the view of ascer
taining if tiey jwero- fast. t. Walker peered
through the window and saw the form bf a
man., in. the' .yard in the act of stooping
down,' as if looking' for , something. The
object then moved ' oh toward the stables,!
when Walker (as he states) , hailed the man
repeatedly and ordered him to stop; instead
of stopping he mended his speed, upon which
Walker fired upon' him; He next noticed the
man advancing in the direction of the house,
and, believing him. to be untouched, made
an effort to' discharge ' his weapon at him
again, but his -gun "missed .fire. ' The man
passed on through the - alley and out into
the street. and was soon afterwards dis
covered lying at the street corner dead.;. v '
i Coroner Hewlett was notified and about
9 .o'clock in the morning, at his, direction,
the body was placed upon a dray and car
ried to his late 'residence on Fourth street. :
Upon being stripped ' the body was found
to contain a large number of perforations,
apparently made with small duck shot,' and
nearly all of them in' ' the back, all the way
from the neck to the 'lower part of the
spine, with a few on the back part of the
arms ana in tne lett side. . -i r?
Deceased was formerlv a driver for sonta
of our most prominent ' citizens, and; is be
lieved ; to have been something over .70
years old. He has1 latterlv - been ensraced
in the business of horse doctoring, i He
was well known about town.'
We should have mentioned in the rrmr
place that Walker- claims to have missed
horse feed at diffreent times, and also had
an axe stolen trom mm. : : j ; . '
"A preliminary examination was to have
been had before Mayor Smith vesterdav af
ternoon, at 5 o'clock, but as some ; of the
witnesses were in attendance upon the cor
oner's inquest, which was being held at the
late residence of the deceased, it was finally
decided to postpone it untiMO o'clock this
morning. Mr. Marsden 'Bellamy having
been retained for the defence, while CoL
B. R. Moore will represent the State. . .
jA great deal of interest is being manifes

at the hour appointed for the preliminary in-'

have also been scattered through the streets
all .day, discussing the matter, and the sen
