Sljc (Eucmno Jtost. WILMINGTON, N. C. Saturday, May 24th, 1873. TriE IUlcifih Neva ought to know how it is itself. The 'Kalbnal RepuUican at Washington, claiming to be a Repub lican newspaper, is dcYOting iU influ ence what it has to slandering Sena tor Pool and other gentlemen who failed to Tote to o the Congressional Print ing to that paper. Erery one conyersant with the fact?, simply laughs at its puny rage. The Republican is a good paper for news, but its c'aim as being the official mouthpiece of the adminis tration is a mistake. The Journal denies that it advocated the $1,000,000 appropriation to the Charlotte Road, which was passed at the Contention o! 18G3, while Colonel Cowan was President of the Road. Our informant stated he was there, but as wc were not present we will give the Journal the beneflt of the denial for the present We do know that many ol our Democratic citizens did work for that appropriation, and that Ocn. Abbott yotcd for it. The Journal adds that it never aiksd aujthing from the Legislature of 1869 and 1SC9. We ccrer claimed that it did, and here is where the Journal per sists in doing injasticc to Gen. Abbott, who was elected to the U. S. Senate before any appropriations were passed by the Legislature, and consequently toted for none. Iris eaid ot an old man who was criticising a preacher, that he declared that he could preach if they would only give him a chance. So it was agreed, nod on Sabbath morniDg he ascended the pulpit and read his text, but could get no farther. Alter stammering a white, he suddenly exclaimed, "Well brethren, if you think its easy to preach, just come up here and try it." We are a good deal of the old fellow's mind, but WC Would like to prCECU a sermon to-morrow, it we only bad time. We would read for the lesson, that noble, and ever new Thirteenth Chapter of Paul's 1st Kpistlq.ta the Corinthian, and wouid make a few remarks at each verse. Then we toold select as a text lor the first part of cur sermon, the 7th and 11th verses of the VIII chapter of John, and wind up with the first fire verses of the VII chapter of Matthew. Wc never tried preaching much and might tail as our friend mentioned above did, but we'd like to try it one time and sec any bow. We like an honest criticism of public men. Such things are beneficial, and that is about all the use the Democratic party can be putto. The Salary Act has attracted much attention, rind has been condemned by most Republican Conventions and Legislatures through out the country. But our opponents, in their astounding z:al, forget the provi sions of the law, and criticise right and left, with as little fairness as can well be imagined. We clip the following fiom the Carolina Jfcssenger : Some ol our exchanges are wondering if Grant will disgorge bat $100,000 which was his share ol tue salary grab. Ot course he will as coon aVRdi cats become honest. t :: yj. r. Now, will the Mcssfrffr: bo kind enough to explain to oa bow the Presi dent could claim $10000 under the act l We defy it to show any such clause in the act. or tirshow that the President drew a dollar in excess ofvhis salary d uring his pasrtcrm.

Th fiJijLhihn - net in incstlpn gives to the President, elect ed in 1S72, a salary of $ 30,000 per an. mini instead of $23,000, but makes no provision for klrawiug onj such sum for time past. Congress only did tbat little job lor itself, and many Democrats voted for it, and drew the extra compensa tion, so tbat it cannot be called a party measure. The Quartermaster General, who has charge ot all national cemeteues. states tuat tney nave not been placed under the sole charge of the Grand Army on Decoration Div, but that all organized processions or parties desiring to take part in the ceremonies will be admitted. ,k ; UB"".UJ"lier encrai runner says that the national cemeteries are nation- that the national cemeteries are nation al property alway3 oped by day for free entrance of well-behaved persons, citi zens or stranger?, who desire to visit them. Tue ladies of the Episcopal church at Weldoo will have a Feaat and Fiir Tennessee Justice. Upon reading our report of the man who had been in Courl, a few days Eincr, a friend told us the following true anecdote, which we believe has never appeared in print : Iq the primitive days of Tennessee, a log cabin was used as a Court House. It is known that Tennessee was a daughter of North Carolina and adopted her code of laws, amon which, as a. corrective of crime, the stocks and whipping post were brought into frequent requisition. On one occasion a hardened offender was brought up before a yery learned Judge, who had emigrated from North Carolina, and the prisoner, was brought to the bar. The Judge inquired of the Sheriff if he had summoned a jury. The Sheriff replied that he had got eleven and bis deputies were now running down the twelfth. Alter some delay a jurySvaa had. It being in the summer time they were mostly barefooted, and during the arraignment of the prisoner, the reading of the indictment and the usual preliminaries to a State trial, the jurors amused themselves by paring their toe nails. The prisoner was duly convicted ac-, cording to law. and sentenced to be put tour hours in the stocks. The Sheriff informed the Judge that there were no stocks there, whereupon the Judge changed the sentence to one hour at the pillory. The Sheriff informed the Judge that there was no pillory. The Judge looked out the window, and seeing a Virginia worm fence near by, directed the Sheriff to substitute that for a pillo ry. Whereupon the Sheriff took the condemned man to the fence, and, rais ing up four or five rails, placed his neck under them. The poor fellow would have died in five minutes had not an enraged bull passing by made a charge upon him, but, missing the victim of his attack, knocked the panel down, whereby the person escaped, amidst the ejaculations of the astonished crowd. And it is confidently asserted that that defendant has not written to his friends since. EDITORIAL BUDGET. The case of J. W. Norton charged with embezzling $11,500 from the post office, will be tried at the October term of the United States Circuit Court. The body of an unfortunate man wa3 found in the river at Harbeck store Broooklyn. Fromjjbc fact, that the dead man had a deep gash over his right eye it is suspected that he met his death by foul play. HcnryXoulter has accepted a chal lenge of VTm. Scharff to jrow a five milc race for f 2,000, and Articles were signed in Pittsburg on Wednesday night that the contest tofefe place August 2nd, near Pittsburg. At a meeting of the King's county supervisors, Supervisor Johnson said he discovered $288,883 expended d? the penitentiary in 1868, 18C9 and 1870; which was $20,000 more than the law authorized. Among the items was one of $20,000 for work done for which no trace was found. The counsel of Tamtor, the de faulting cashier of the Atlantic bank, moved to quash the indictment against the prisoner on the ground that the ex act amount of the alleged embezzlement is not stated, and the exact denomina tions of the bills withdrawn from the bank is not given. Decision reserved. The arrest ol Price, the correspon dent of the New York Herald, in Hava na, and the relusai to allow his counsel and friends to communicate with him, has revived the question of the power of the Government to try foreigners ac cording to Spanish law, by which the testimony of witnesses is token by the judge without publicity, aird. prisoners are compeiiea to answer written .Inter rogatories Without knowing the charge against mem or. woo arc their -accusers. .. the coUi of lajirg tlirr corner- fttAD nf . a tXifot of a now Catholic J - - wr w hQ2MV?okin Pan P the 22d ins.. iorMonjiie csBpcktj K&ff- ing, nicb bad been erected for the ac commodation of the rast multitude, ave way and precipitated into the basement beneath a large number ol persons. It is impossible to give the names and the number ot Injured, but it is supposed that only six arc seriously hurt. B'shop Wood, ol Philadelphia,,, and Bishop O'llara, of Scranton, who were conduct ing the ceremonies at the time ol the accident, assisted by about twentv cler- eymen, were amoni? those who went down with the falling floor, but luckily escaped any serious injury.

Dispatches received at the Nary De partment, from the Asiatic station, state that the Hartford has arrived on the station, and that Admiral Jenkins had transferred his flag from the Lackawan na to the Hartford. Several members of the syndicate called on Secretary Richardson Wednes day, and notified him that the syndicate were fully prepared to meet its obliga tions on the first of June. It has not yet been decided when the second call ol bonds will be issued. Secretary Robeson left here Wednes day morning for New York and will probably return on Monday. No tele grams have been received from the Frolic since her departure from New York. Her commander was instructed to telegraph his arrival at and depart ure from St. Johns. A delegation of Gangers called upon Commissioner Douglass Wednesday for the purpose of urging him to reconsider his ruling reducing their pay from nine to six dollars per day. The Commis sioner declined on the ground that an increase of pay would create a deficien cy in his appropriation. General Sweet, first deputy commis sioner, assumed his official duties after a somewhat protracted official visH West. During his absence he visited Salt Lake City, and had a protracted interview with Brigbam Young. He says that the rumors which have been circulated regarding Young's resigna tion of the presidency of the Mormon people is without foundation. Large numbers of Gentiles have settled in Salt Lake, and it will be but a tew years before the city will be' under their control. SPECIAL. Office, Treasurer and Collector. CITY CV WILMINGTON, N.

The past year has demon strated that a DAILY REPUBLICAN NESWPAPER can be made Jell supporting, and that it is consequently independent oi an rings or combinations. The Evening Post ill labdr for the welfare of this portion of North Carolina with renewed vigor. Thb Post is a warm adovocate ol INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS Calculated to improve the condition ot the people, and strongly favorable to IMMIGRATION, AGRICULTURE and EDUCATION, as its course during the past year has shown, and it commends itself to all the people now on earth who believe in progress, as a co worker for the mate rial interests of North Carolina. The columns of The Post, are offered to the advertising public as a first class investment for liberal dealers, who wish to extend their trade. Such men eschew politics, and place their announcements "where they will do the most good" among the people. The Post does not claim that it is the only advertising medium in this city, but it does claim that it enables merchants to reach AM, CLASSES of buyers, which can be done in no other way, and dealers consulting their own iotercsts will patronize the advo cates of both political parties. THE EVENINGr POST hopes to gain the reputation ol beinc; a Livo Newspaper, iu its broadest sense, and to commend itsell to the people, irrespective ot political predilictions. as a news nancr to be sought for by every one desiring tnc very latest intelligence. While the editors of The Evening Post arc firm believers in SOUND REPUBLICAN DOCTRINE, thev have shown rlnrinc? Hio nocf o r .t . . J . -. H H .1 1 .... . vvcu uunug wie neaiea political cam, paigns through which they have passed, a lirm belief in the RIGHTS OF OPINION. Inherent to every man in the State -Liberal to its opponents, acknowledging their lull rights of free thought, it claim's the same for itself, and equal justness oi criticism at tbeir hands. This policy will be in the future as in the past the rule and guide of its faith.
