If "our people" are not fully con vinced thai the northern states are in habited by a murderous, unciivlized people, ihen t'ae constant and unremit ting efforts of our neighbor, the Twin , fdcr, must be pat down as a sad failure on the part of the writer of their heavy items.

' ' ... v..- ' To citizens of Wilmine interested id the linancial welfare of its government a feiv reflections upon its efficientf) management by the Democrats may be .attended with some profit, and it will be hard to see, with the large indebt. edne.sk against it, and the constant ten dency to increase that Indebtedness, when if ever the city will reacbla con dition of solvency. j .'. The purchase of the market house; the annual expense of between $5,000 and $0,000 in consequence ot the water wbrks; the still existing expenses of the lire de;arlmeuf; the increase of sala ries ; by the present board; the half- handed I collection of taxes, which has justified the charge of favoritism to some citlxeua bv the Democratic boards generally;, all these and many other things ' may well create'cousternation and a well grounded apprehension of municipal-bankruptcy and financial chatKrat no distant day. ' To particularize: the market house has been purchased at a Iage expense, thereby increasing the city indebted ness'; a lawyer was employed to go to Rsleigh toiget the bill through neces Hary iu order to make the market avail able to tho city. This must have been expensive; lawyers can't work and give weeks of their lime away, from home at a h mall .price. All this comes out of the city. Tho bill failed. and the mar- kcl housa is', for two years, and perhaps forever, a dead ex pcuso aud lost capital to the city. ; - . " The great ' line and cry when the water woiki was agitated, was that bo much expense of the fire department would not ;be necessary aud that fire insurance iwbuld b. decreased. Now we do not object to the water works still lewsdo we to our efficient fire depart ment. IJnt if fire insurance rates.have not beeu; dloreascd, then the water works liiit ve t-reatcd no. additional se curity for the property .and the addi tional expei'isjc of the water works by J. the city is thfown away to the tune of $o,U00' to fcti.OpO annually. If, however, the' wilier works have been an advan- 'tage to he ctty, then it should render, unnecessary the maintenance of such a largo lire department, but still the ex pense of the fire; department his not been decreased one cent but continues an . additional expense to that of tho . water works, aud surely as tTe rates of tiro insurance have not been decreased, either one or the other is xf no addi tional benefit. , There lithe loard of Audit and Fi nance, it hns agreed and continues to agree to all -tlieso thiugs. If the ex pensa of the city is mo wild and reck-, less with (his board, what possible - Leuelit ha-i itlbceu to he city and it entailt upon the ity an additional ex lenBe of $200,000, worse than this, its endoreiueut of theseyarioiis schemes is looked upou by the lioard ol Aldermen, . as takii'g the responsibility of them, and thin 1'iord of Atnlit and Finance has . beeu .o long in office without any ihangc!that they have grown to con sider anything they may do as a sort of edict of a diviuityUbat cannot and should not be questioned.

V The Ohio is subsidiug at Louisville and Cincinnati, and; as usual in such cases, the people are only just begin ning to realize the extent of the data age that has been done and the trouble that must yet come. The determina tion of the authorities and relief com mittees of both cities to tare for the distressed and destitute among them merits and. will receive the heartiest praise, for while the American people are always ready to extend-helpiog hands to fellow beings in trouble it is gratifying to ream that, there are com munities who, in the face ot great and unexpected disaster, are true to them selves aod faithful to their duties as citizens. I if Cincinnati and .Louisville con tained all the populations of the Ohio Valley there would probably beno need of assistance from theremajuder pf the country, but, unfortunately for tjbe sufferers, miiphrof the overflowed district on both sides of the river and iis tributaries consists of. small cities Ana town, without rich citizens among I whom organization and executive ability are matters ol ordinary business training; it consists, bcsule the towns, of a greater expanse, covered almost entirely with farms, on which each family has had to meet the flood alotie, devise its own ways of escape aud find shelter and relief without any assist ance from more fortunate neighbors. No one who has tnot beeu iu the low lands bordering rivers during a flood can imagine the rapidityjand thorough ness with which a farm, is ruined by deep water, Stock is often drowned before it can escape; barns, granaries and tool houses are floated from their foundations, carried away. and their I contents destroyed; so even if the flood subsides within a fortnight the farmer is worse ofT than if he stood alone 'on a newly entered quarter section of bare prairie. ' "1 ' It must be remembered, toy, that the Ohio and its tributaries caunot fall without the -waters making trouble elsewhere. While 'the people of the Ohio Valley are watching with bate! breath the gradual receding of the flood that proved so disastrous last week the inhabitants of the baks of the Lower Mississippi are anxiously awa'tiuc tin developments of the approaching del uge. As the reader may ; remember, the greatest sufferers by the flood of 1882 were thoje living along the line of the river south of its junction wit! the Ohio. From the Kentucky bound ary to the delta a distance of over o'ue thousand miles the riyer presented more the appearance of a great sea than a Btream the course of which was controlled by levees. . This year's flood is likely to exceed that of last year; in deed at Cairo the river has already risen to the same level, and, owing to the great thaw in progress throughou the districts drained by the tributary rivers to me norm ana west, there is reason to fear that the rite, will increase Last year heavy rains were the tana cause of the rising waters. This yvar, although the; rain storms' of last week inaugurated the flood, the disintegra ting action of the sun's rays on th great masses of snow and ice through out the Mississippi watershed will tend to make it more destructive. Practice v. Malpractice Theoretically the democrats are the K,ete9 economists in the world, and nave noj ooject in view but the sal va tion of this country Clamorini; un ceasiugly for reform, Jhey have made the welkin ring, and awakened some what of belief in their sincerity because ol their persistency. Last fall the -'lie- publicans in large numbers stayed away irum me ikhis in oraer to give the professional keeners an opportunity to reform and save several slates. No tably was this the case iu New York whire the present administration re ceived a majority remarkable in ihi litical hUtoey. The tax pijers of that stale are beginning to realize, iu a for cible manner, iheir folly m thus trust ing to Democratic preteosious. The party now Uoosioant in the ad'airs of New York consists of one part reform to nine parts spendthrift and unscrupu lous politician. Surrounded by a huu ry lot, whoto reform cry is changed to a howl for oSieial1. fodder, the Demo cratic legUUtjire is compelled to care for ito own. 1'hert are not half enough otfi.cn to appease the party appetite, and places mast needs be made fur able striken and bummers who carry whole wards in their pocket.

Sergeant-At-Arms. If Captain William P. Canaday, of Wilmington, N. C, should Deselected to the position ofVjergant-at-arms ot the Senate, there will be in that posi tion one of the strongest best pieces of timber that has been hewed out of the south since the formation and or ganization of the Republican party. It there is any individual in the Old north state that the bourboa democrats fear, that man is 'Captain Canaday. They fear him as an organizer; a brave and courageous Republican who-has more rea) backing and'influence, so far as a legitimate followiDgcan count, thsn any other mairlin the state. If there is anyjsurn hing as a man taking a shoe string and (getting a tan-yard out of it, that man is William P. Canaday. What theDemocrats mostly dread now is, that if Captain Canaday should obtain this recognition Strom the Senate, it will result in North Carolina becoming a second edition of the mother of slates Virginia under . the leader ship of Senator Mahone. The writer has known Mr. Canaday ever since the day he appeared at the provost mar shal's and took himself back to the union,' and he knows of no man in all the south that has been a clearer and setter radical Republican than he; or who had wou the respect and admira tion of both political parties. He is an honest, fearless, faithful man, and will do credit to the position that his frunds seek for him. Washington, D. C Bee. Can Property - be Honestly Owned?

These reflections are promtcd by the tendency to scandal in r gard to public men. It is jun worthy of decent journalism to advertise the ownership ot a house by an official as grouud for calling in question his in tegrity. A man who has served many years in both houses ot congress, and against whom there never was a breath of censure, or hint of dishonesty, is sudden'y advertised as owning, a big House, anil Ins invitation ;s conveyed with mean iunueudoes worthy only of . 1. .

The Jeannette Court oflnqulry. Washington, February 19. The court of inquiry appointed by the Sec retary of the Nary to investigate the circumstances of the loss of the Arctic ex ploing steamer, Jeannette, has made its report, - The conclusions arrived at by the court are as follows: ? I ; First That the condition of the Jean nette on her departure from, San Fran cisco was good, and satisfactory U her officers and crew, except that she was nnaroidablr deeDlr ; loaded.' a defect whic& corrected itself by the consump tion of coal, provisions and stones. 8eeond.- That the chances of reach- ine Wranrel Land and finding a winter harbor therewere sufficiently good at the ti m n nf. nT iin w n f rpff thfiieeto ius - tify him' in making the attempt. And, indeed, had he done otherwise he might are been thought wanting ia a high quality necessary for an explorer. This attempt unfortunately resulted in the Teasel's becoming beset in the ice pack, within less than rtwo months after her departure from San Francisco,, until her destruction, more than twenty-one months later. . -Third. That the evidence b'iows that in the management o(,thp Jeannette up to the time of her destuction, Lieutea- ant CtommanderG. W, DeLoug, by his. foresight and prudenco provided meas ures to meet emergencies, aud enforced wise regulations to maintain discipline, to preserve health and to encourage cheerfulness amonsr those under his command. ; ,s. Fourth. That any vessel, no matter what her model, or however strongly constructed, if subjected to the sa?e pressure s that incurred by the Jean nette, would have been iunihilated. She was abandoned in a cool aud or derly manner, and the court attaches no blame to any olhcer or man lor her loss. .. -' .. ;. . Fifth. That provisions made and plau8 adopted for the boats and crews upon leaving the wreck were judicious, as it is shown that ninety (lays alter the destruction of the Teanuette, the offi cers and men were in fair condition, notwithstanding their terrible journey. - Sixth. That, considering the condi tion of the survivors, the. uu favorable season, limited knowledge of the couu try and want of facilities for prosecu ting the search ana the grekt'dilficulty of communicating with the natives, everything possible was done by the relief parties. Seventh. That there j is conclusive evidence that aside from the trival diffi culties, sch as occur on shipboard, even under the most favorable circum stances, and which had no influence in bringing about , the disaster to the ex pedition, and no pernicious e,fll'ct on its general conduct, every officer a',d man so conducted himself that the court finds no occasion to impose censure upon any member of the party. In view then of the long and dreary mo meats of the crew's UNr, and priva tions encountered.' "disappointment consequent upon want of important re sults, and the uncertainty of their fate, the general conduct of the personnel of the expedition seems to have been a marvel of cheerfulness, good fellowship and mutual forbearance, while the con sistency and -endurance with which they met the hardships aud dangers that beset them eutitled them to great praiAe. They Want More Arnica. An insignificant section of tho De mocracy is convinced that the thing wanted to insure a national triumph for the party next year is an houest, straightforward platform. Democratic platforms, it is claimed, have been a juggle since the days of Lewi-t Cass, paiticularly in respect to the tariffissue. This policy has brought only disaster to the party, and' it was time it was ended. An exchange thinks what is wanted now' is a ringing declaration which will put th Democracy dis tinctly before the people as a low tariff party. These zealots appear to haver very snort memories. Less thati three years ago Mr. Watterson adopted the course they recommended, and ho is not through applying arnica.- yet.

ANN GERRY'S OEATII.v The Daughter of Signer of the Declaration of Independence Passes away. 'S - ' New Haven, "Feb. 18. Ann Gerry third daughter of Elbridge Gerry, ior mrl vie nrmident of the " United MWJ w mw f State, and a signer of the declaration tf independence, , died in , this city on Friday, aged 91 years and 2 months. Miss Gerry was a young lady at the time her father died suddenly in Wash ington on his way to th4 capitol, Nov 23 1814, in the second year of his terra as vice president. She had arcmarka- b'y retentive memory, and had jtreas ured many interesting incidents which she learned from her father, who had been an active participant in tho ncenes of the revolution. Her mind was a torn house of the history of that pen od,i and occasionally she would detai with ainirular clearness and facility fie c.rpta and schemes of .which she had been a witness. The deceased was one of ten children, all of Whom are dead Meeot a sister named iMnily 1j uerry who is now in her eiehtieth year. For more than forty years the two maiden sisters have lived iu an old fashioned house at Temple aud Wall Btreels, New Haven.' From there Khcir motuer, three sisters and me brother were buried. In May,, 1So2, Kliza Gerry Towusend died near Bostou, aged yi vears. Of the family pf daughters Ann Gerry was specially beloved by her father, aud she was his coustant home companion.' By him she was led to take an interest in polities, literature and the sciences, and up to a recent period she was a most-entertaining conversationalist, being familiar with a great ranee of subjects. IJer mother wa9 the daughter oi James ,'fhonipso of New York, and was a rarely accom plished woman, of h.uroi ean education, to whom Mr. Gerry was id airied when well adfauced ou the road 10 fame.
