This gentleman has placed every col ored man in tbia country under lasting obligations by the magnanimous act he performed on Sunday last, in leaving his own interests iu the hands of his friends, and going to Washington for the purpose,, qf seating a colored man in congress; He was enjoying a leave of. absence, the second that he had ta ken since : congress convened, and wa looking after His re-hominalionr with a very strong combination against him; the fight was carried to the extreme in bitterness. : And right in the midst of his canvass, and at the time above all others when he should - have been on the ground to look after bis ow inter ests. He received - a telegram from friend in Washington that the contes ted election case of Robert Smalls, a colored man of South Carolina was coming iip for action, and Mr. Hubbs, like a hero, said, "my duty to the col ored people first, and to my wife and family iifxt." And three days before J the rongreaiorjaI convention he left for Washington, and by being there Mr. Smklls: was seattd -that one vote of Mr. Hubba did the work. And it would have been one of 'the noblest acts that man was ever creaited with if the con vention had given him the nomiqation by acclamation. ...1,1 : t ; . : A n ibu ' will perfotm o act su exceedingly noble, who, right in the face of the most important part of his canvass, when, the success of his whole future ' depended on the nomination, should . sacrifice bis. own interests for the cause of the ci lor'ed people ought not only to be nominated by acclama tion, but every, true man in the district ought to come forward and eleit bim by a unaoimouos vote, Without say- og anything about, the merits of the other candidates, let them be ever so worthy, yet the district owes it to itself aa well as to Mr. Hubbs, to endorse the course hejias taken in congre, which has been an honor to the district, to the state and to the eolored citizens. We are informed that Mr. Robert H.

I amjof the same opinion still. W.r goes onto say "that the com munity are indignant and etc." A cor rect Statement would have been that Maii Robbins' friends are indignant Vhile my friends are not.

' The Somter Light Infantry arayed last Tuesday morning en route to their usual summer camp at SmithvUle. We were aurpxised 'to see that one aide of their flag waa an exact copy of the conquered banner; fkut wo were sur prised that the Wilmington Light In fantry had " ao few members out to greet them.!: It would hare looked bet ter, to have had none. ; The Clinton & Point Caswell railroad is ft fixed fact at last. On Tuesday the organization of theOompany,was effect e4 by the election of directors, wbj aF. ter wards elected CoL F W. Kerchner President, and Mr. W, B. McKoy Sec retary and Treasurer. Although we have not heard of any appointment be ing made; we understand that Capt. E, P. Paddison is to be appointed Superla tendent of the road. All of the above, we think are good selections. - k I It is very interesting to notice the extensive improvements going on at the Wilmington & Weldon railroad. To those who are curiously: inclined we would say, an ' hour's time might be pleasantly spent therein observation. That road is undertaking a Jbig work. and an expensive one for this city, and it does not seem from their present op erations that they would ever allow our city,. to become only a way station, as is frequently expressed by many who fear outside railroad combinations. By invitation we took a stroll through the blacksmith department of the W. & W. railroad shops and were pleased ' and surprised at what we saw there We are not much up in mechanic skill and knowledge, bui we veotuVe to say that the best work and the blggeal in North Carolina Is turned out at the e . shops. We stopped to observo the heating process of a boiler-aheet-rolUr which, weighed 3,000 pounds, and the dexterity with which' it. was handled waa remarkable, , We would like to honorably mention our clever friends the operatives, but tbey really were smoked so out of countenance 'twas hard to tell "tother from Which." Lawrence Weatherly, a young colored . man who has for some time been in the aa jJoy aaa t o. M r. CU. Xw)s -- v .-.. .C , .T. - rested Tuesday for robbing the Uniud Sutes Mail. It teems that Mr. Da wty is now in the town of Goldsboro doing a piece of job work, and that he sent ome money in a, letter to his wife in this city that, be notified her on ft postal, however, a few days previous that Weatherly was In the habit ot go ing to the post office for them that Jie had read the postal aod that be kept oo the lookout for, and robbed the forth coming, promised letter -that with Iho ' contents he enjoyed a good spree down oo the Sound- next day that a trap was laid for him that he stepped Into the trap Tuesday that he was secured tried and Imprisoned in default of ball for appearance that be ' finally hat confessed his guilt, and that after t adjournment of the next United States ?
