be an interesting important one
in many reppcts. Besides the usual
4th of July demonstrations, 'Buch as
eplendid oratory from some of the
most celebrated men of the South, the

ment of the pjeasanter part of camp
life will be portrayed, with individ
ual recitals of thrilling incidents, hair
breadth escapes and witty anecdotes
of the late wtr. I am indebted for
the above1 f$ts to a circular just

There are t( be many other valua

mercantile and other interests of
which Winstba is justly proud, and
splendid exhibit of hne horses,
stock, cattle, &c. - About fifteen mili
tary companies hae been invited and

There will lie 30 or forty noats in

Potsdam, June 15. At : midnight
the Emperor sat for half - an hour in
an arm-chair and took , some nourish
ment. At 3 o clock there was an
alarming increase in Ms weak
ness and. .relatives were telegraphed
return. At 10 o clock this
forenoon access to : the palace
was stopped. Count Yon Stolberg
Wermigerode and the Court Chamber-
ain were the only ministers present
at that hour. Chaplains FersU and
Regge were also in attendance. At

J he bella in lierlm begau to ring
at 2 o'clock this afternoon, il Mourn
ing is displayed on many house and
in numbers of shop window bus's
of the Emperor, veiled 'with crape,
have been placed.
Some details are now becoming
known with regard to the last hours
of the Emperor. An hour after mid
night the Empress jdismissed
the members or the u impe
rial family to their apartments and
prepared herself to pass the night-
watch in the room adjoining the r.m-
peror. JJr. liovell ! shared in the
vigil. At this time the Emperor was
in full possession of his faculties.
Shortly after 1 o'clock he frote on a
slip of paper the following questions,
which he handed to Da Hoy ell :
"How is my pulse t":
"Are you satisfied with it t"
He then wrote something more, but
retained the piece of paper in his
hand after erasing the words. Be
tween 2 and 3 o'clock his breathing
lecAoie terribly labored and some
moments of struggle! would occur,
alternating with spasms and great
distress, as the hard fight with ap
proaching death progressed By this
time the strength ol the dying tuoi
pef or was seen to be waning. ' As
Boon as it became evident that the
end was near, the Empress caused the
Royal family to be summoned. At 8
o clock the fiUipress ; caused all to
gather around the bedside. Dr.
Koegel and the uourt (Jhapiain, who
had been summoned' by a telegram
from the Empress, did not arrive in
time to administer the list sacra
ment. Dr. Persius . therefore offi
ciated in this ceremony. Pastor Kegge
was also present in the death cham
ber. During the administering of the
sacrament, and indeed even to within
fifteen minutes before his death, the
Emperor appeared to be tjuito con
scious He showed by the expres
sion of his eyes and by the move
ments of his eye-lids that he still re
cognized all who approached the bed
side. The relatives and others, with a
number of officials, who had been sum
monedearlyintbemorningreached the
Palace before death bad taken place.

sume that the candidate for Lieuten

Ex Senator Jos. E. McDonald, of

when the dividing line is drawn on a
question ,of Democratic principle,
there are some seven, eigLt or nine
thousand voters whrr appear at the
polls with Democratic, ballots, and
who inevitably and invariably decide
the issue. To these voters the nomi

an independent and a reformer, Mr.
Bird says he "could vote for Blaine
this year as readily as for any candi
date of the Republican party," for
the reason that 'the ltepublican
party represents Blaineism today just

. Commuted.
Inn Fi-OKi. -:.
On the receipt of the Governor's
varratd ordering the execution ef W.
A. Pctts, Jr , on the 13th of July
n-'t, jtho commissionors ordered the
Bueriit to place a guard over' the jail
at night, and also to erect an enclos
ure adjoining the prison for lha pur
pose of conducting the execution pri
vately. There f-eetns to be some
doubt yet as to the execution of Potts.
Large petitions Lave been sent from
t his place to the Governor asking for
a commutation of sentence to impris-cnmqr-t
for life in lLc penitentiary.
So far as wo can learn, these petitions
have been signed out of sympathy for
the relatives and friends of Potts, who
have our most profound sympathy in
their great el stress and afilicion. "We
also understand that several of the
physicians of this town have written
letters to the Governor, giving it as
tbeir opinion that Potts is insane.
The people of the Aurora section,
where the n.urder was committed, are
t'iking considerable interest in this
matter, and have ssnt up counter-pe-titior:!",
protesting against any com
umtatiouof Potta' sentence; that as
he ba been j tried in the courts and
the i.ighest iribuna! has passed on his
c.ioo, it, oifght to be final. We have
also rrffiyeij several communications
on thejmbject which we do not think
jupert to publish at this time, and
will only say that Beaufort county is
gaining a very unenviable reputation
as to the administration of justice in
it borders, as could bo plainly seen
by the charge of Judge Montgomery
to. the grarjd jury and the County
Commissioners at our court las' week.
wonopowo fcuall never hear ol an-

Wilmington Stnr
Fire broke out about ten o'clock
Thursday night, from some unex
plained cause, in the rear of Messrs.
W. E. Springer St Co.'s hardware es
tablishment, No. 14 North Front
street, and for a time -a disastrous
conflagration threatened. The fire
men, however, responded quickly to
the alarm, and in a short time had the
fire under control and speedily ex
tinguished it.
The fire began apparently between
the warehouse in rear of th,e store
and a new building in process of
erection, and the flames communi
cated to the warehouse, in which a
large stock of glassware and cordage
was stored, the -estimated value of
which is about $2,000. There was

cover the loss, with Messrs. Smith &

Hodges & Taylor on the building.

and place it -in its normal position ij

which made the selection has demon

to which he has been called, has ac
quitted himself honorably, and has
exhibited a capacity anetperseverance
seldom excelled u equaled by any of
his years. It now remains for those
who desire the success and perpetuity
of the principles upon which our gov

been the custodian of our rights -and

all the years of its peace and pros-
Eerity to the present, to hold up his
