Vnored fast fall that some time 'this summer, R. II. Wright would build a handsome hotel on bis property, on the corner rtween RoTall Be iioraen sana 'the depot, to be run a a f 2.00 a day bouse and specially arrang ed for the traveling men. Such a house would receive large patronage if well kept, and would add much to general good of Durham; and it appears to us, would also pay a nana Bflma interest on the capital ia vested. It is to be hoped Mr. Wright will carry the idea out. Jl larre proportion 01 tne pay in natronaee of a hotel in these days comes from the. commer cial travelers, very few of whom are allowed more than two dol lara a day in their expense ac count for hotel bills. Apart from this, there are roanv other visitors to Durham, who rather than exceed this amount, re sort to restaurants and cheap boarding houses. The Uehald hrttxa another hotel will be built at once. At to locations there are several, all good, and we suppose obtainable at mod erate price.' Chares with FlllbusUrina. rniLAPEtrntA, April 18. John D. Hart, owner of the steamer Bermuda, Capt O'Brien, rooster, and Mate Murphy, who are charged with aiding in setting on foot a military expedition BPninst Fnein. were this afternoon held ia 11,00 each by United Blatcs Commissioner Dell for their appearance in the United Plates DiKtrirt Court on Mav 13. Sec ond Mate Simoiwon was released. Almost a score of witnesses were called, and all testified that the Bermuda lad taken on board about eitrhly men from the 7V steamer Atlantic City, winch sailed from Tuckahoo, N, J.; that there were arms and ammu nitionon the steamer; and that they were discharged from the vessel on the Cuban coast.

With avowed principles of govern men tat utter variance, there was a temporary coalition to fight they pleased to call the 'fmachine democrats." But, the affinity bei-e like that of oil and water, and the princi pal purpose of fusion .being ac complished, each party assumes populists for a joint ticket the s i er element being so much in the ascendency here that 'be who runs against it will meet his Waterloo. The boys are out of suspence now. : know where they are at, and consid erable shifting of sails - to suit the new wind may . be looked for - We append the text of the propositions made for fusion hich were rejected. " Tbo republican demands were; 1. In the apportionment of the severaPoffices to be voted for the republicans shall nomi nate and the populists endorse the following candidates: (1) Governor. (2) attorney general, (3) auditor (4) one justice of the supreme court. The populists shall nominate and the repubii cans endorse: (1) lieutenant gov ernor, (2) tecretary of state, (3) treasurer, (4) superintendent of public instruction, (5) one jus tice of the supreme court. 2. That there shall be com plete co-operation between the respective parties tn congres sional and legislative districts and counties, as 1834. 3. That the agreement here tofore made between the res pective parties, according the senatorsbip to the republican party, is hereby ratified and confirmed and the populists are to support the nominee of the republican party - 4. That under existing condi tions each party shall run its own electoral ticket. To this the following reply was sent, and the conference ended. "Gentlemen: I am instructed by the state executive com mittee ot the people's party to respectfully inform you that your proposition for a basis of the credit of their victory and the right to assume dictator ship ot the other. The consequence has been. that the populists, dominated by the reform democrats in its ranks, have refused to grant the republican demands for the iarzer part of the spoils, and have announced they will keep boose for themselves having both a North Carolina and a National residence. It does not appear to us" they could have done otherwise without a re traction of their principles. While this is so, it is evident there will be local fusion in many of the counties where it is of mutual advantage to the controlling politicians and of fice holders. V e suppose there will now be three candidates in the field for Governor, or that there will bean understanding between the silver democrats ani the co-operation between the re publican party and people's party in this state is declined. Very Respectfully, II. W.Ayir, Secretary. An opportunity is here opened for the democrats, an I it re mains to be seenwhal use they will make of it. That Sanitary Resolution. It was matter of universal comment, and universal regret yesterday that the resolution of Commissioner Martin introduced before the town board at their re gular i meeting Monday night failed to pass. ' The resolution was, in effect, that in view of the exceptionally hot weather, and the amount pf disease germ breeding debris in the town, that the board appoint a special sanitary . ponce wno should go on, duty at once and have the town cleaned before a rain should come and farther de cay and disseminate the uncieanl y piles whose scent already rises on the evening air like the most yil- lanous stench that ever offended human nostril. , : ' We regret this resolution was lost It was only a matter of some f 10 cost to the town between putting . on " the sanitary officer now, and the first of May, the' time set for, him to assume the duties of his office. The amount is too small to put in the balance against the health of the city, and possibly the lives of some of its citizens. We must think the gentlemen of the board had not given the matter due consideration, , and that today their votes would be different If we are correct a call meeting can easily be bad, at which the reconsideration and passage of Mr. Martin's resolution will be agreeably in order. . . Failures Continue. Baltimore, Md, .April 18. Three assignments were p't on record today. The George II. Foster Company, wholesale liquor dealers rectifiers, of East Lombard street, filed a deed of trust to John II. Wright, who gave bond , for 70,000. Charles R. Benjamin, trading as the, Baltimore, Wash ington, Richmond and Norfolk Newspaper Syndicate, executed a deed of trust to scar C. Marte- oet, who filed a bond for $30,000. Svlvester Ruth, trsdine as 8. , v Ruth a Sons, and aslo an indi vidual in the business of manu facturing tin cans, assigned to Chkr!es E.8utcr, who filed a bond for $20,000. . Tut office seekers are not to be envied what little peace of mind they get just now. This courting of the people is quite as adroit a business as seeking the "yes" of a coy maiden, and equally as un certain in results. They are al the time distracted with doubt and vexed without uncertainty Sometimes they are ready to ex claim to the voting masses in tho words of the disconsolate King James, "Who wou'.d with to be thy Kin" "Thou may nude moniter thing," but then the spoils of office ap rar in llm dim distance, and he yields to a hopeless and inevitable doom. The reunion of old Confeder ate Veterans in Richmond, Va. on the occasion of the laying of cornerstone of the Jeff Davis mon ument, June 3otb to July 2nd in clusive, is probably the last chance that will bo offered during life, for so many of them to meet their old comrades. The thirty-one years that have passed since they won glory and never dying fame has much thinned the ranks, and the death rate increases as the years goby, - Gun. Thomas L. Cilngman. A few days ago the Recorder called attention to the condition of General Clingman and . the shame of it.'

As pertinent to this matter," we copy the following from , an editorial tn the rew York Mercury of the 19th; "This ts a lite of upsand downs and the downs are in a majori ty, 3 However rich in this world s goods a man may be, there is no assurance that the closing years of his life may not be clouded in poverty.

J. D. Bryant, of Lumberton, was found dead today near Hope mills on the track of the Atlantic Coast Line. He was horribly mangled and was unrecognizable except by the papers found on the lnxly.
