WILMINGTON, N. C, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER Tiie Death or an Ex-Bishop. St. Albans, Att.. Sept. 0. The Rev. Amedius llappe, who was consecrated Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Cleve- and, Ohio, ic 1847,and resigned in 1870, died here last night at the age of 77. He was well known throughout the United States and Canada as a temperance re- ormer and missionary. The funeral will take place on Tuesday. i , 4 . i - , ... Hayes at his Old Home. Fkejiont Sept. 9. The President and his family, accompanied by Gen.- Carroll, attended service at the Methodist church here this morning. The charch was decorated with flowers and trailing Ttnes. At the conclusion of the service many ;of Mr. llaycs's old friends and neighborg gathered around him to shake hands with him and Mrs. Hayes and wish them a hearty welcome home. The family did not attend church in tho ovonlng. The California Election. San Fkancisco, Sept. 9. The couut in this city is completed with the "ex ception of about 100 votes," which will not change the result. The Democrats elect Mayor, llecorder," Public , Adminis- rator, Superintendent of Public Schools, Firo Commissioners. The Taxpayers elect Tax Collector, Treasurer, County Clerk, District Attorney, Attorney and Counsellor, Chief of Police, Superintendent of Streets. George F. Maynard and W. P. Humphreys are re-elected Auditor and Surveyor, being tn both tickets. Mat thew Nuuan (Dem.) is elected bhenn, and Dr. David B. Todd (Dem.) Coroner, j. C, Murphy (Dem.) is elected Senator in the Ninth District, and Kobert Haigut (Citizens and Taxpayers), Supervisors in the Tenth Ward. Some doubts still exist as to one or two members of the Legislature in the interior countries, the. voting having been closed and full returns not received. Dissension in Hayes's Cabinet. Washinuton, Sept. 9. Secretaries McCrary, Thompson and John Sherman declined to go to Marietta, Ohio, with the de facto President,, simply because they did not approve the objects of that meet ing and its' parade over ex-Confederate members. They strongly dissent from what thoy term tho extreme of Hayes's Southern policy. Their opinions upon. this subject are so clear and . defined, and' come from such authentic sources, as to warrant the statement that dissension is already beginning in Hayes's Cabinet, whose increasing, or lessening will largely be determined by the popular lectin. O k in the JNorth. . The Maine Election. Portland, Me., Sept: 9 The State election occurs to-morrow. Very little work has Ibecn done; and no canvasses made. The total vote will probably not exceed 110,000, and the greenback ticket will do better than previously, peVhaps reaching 2,000 of 3,000. ; - Witrf thistri crcased opposition, being an off yearjthe Republicans cannot expect to do much better than two years agq; wber thS'it maiority ran down to less than 4,000. Their disagreements over the State Con vention seem to amount to little, and those of the Democrats over their candi date appear somewhat'more serious, par tic- ularlv in the Penobscot region., 'ine green backers aretrongest in . Androscog gin and Somerset counties, and may affect the county ticket. Last year the Demo crats had but ' two counties Knox and Lincoln liut in 1875 they had five. Cumberland and York counties i are very close. Aroostook is likely I to go Demo cratic. Washington county is close, but Talbot, last year s Democratic nominee, who was throwu over at tbisr year'sr Cdn- ventlon, resides- there. The llcpublicarl legislative majority will be reduced from last year, bnt probably not so low as two years ago. , j , New Advertisements.'

The gentleman who received the notice was not aware of the organization of any such Association and at all events had ifcvcr purchased or had given to him any inter est in the concern. Death of an Old Citizen. Mr. Thos. J. Armstrong died at his res idence near Rocky Toint yesterday. He was taken sick on Wednesday last but was not considered dangerously ill until the day before his death. . Mr. Armstrong, for a number of years prior to the war, did business in this city and was of the firm of Hall, Armstrong & Co. By his gentlemanly bearing and strict business integrity he endeared him self to a great many of our citizens who knew him then and who now mourn his death. , A Heroic Act. A little boy about 10 or 11 years old, a crippled son of Mr. J. II. Strauss, fell into the river yesterday afternoon at Messrs. Kerchner & Calder Bros', wharf, between the wharf and a vessel which was dis charging her cargo there. The little fel low Was unable to swim and Mr. Geo. W. Doyle, who was on the vessel at the time, on witnessing the accident unhesitatingly plunged into the river "without waiting to divest himself of any of his clothing. The little boy had sunk for the third time but Mr. Doyle dived under the vessel and succeeded in' bringing him to the surface whore there were Willing hands waiting to receive them. The act was one of rare heroism and such. will long be remembered as Who is Responsible 1 : By an enactment of the powers that be the rctailjjiquor dealer's license 'for this city was made $12 50 per month imme diately after the accession of , the new ad ministration of city affairs, now sevcra months ago; subsequently, however, owing to the fact that there was a j)rctty general complaint 'against the enormity of the tax, the Board of Aldermen, passed a resolution to make the tax $10 instead of $12 50, at the same time placing the wholesale dealer's license at $15, instead of. $20 as originally agreed upon. But the Board 'of Audit and Finance re fused to concur in the resolution, of the Board of Aldermen reducing the tax, and lo the Board at their last meeting rescinded their joint resolution reducing the tax on liquor dealers. In the meantime, how ever, some parties have paid their tax at the reduced figures for the mouth of August, and others who fiave not paid for A.uguot ore iol'l at tLo TYnaciirriic fhV that they will tiave. .to' pay .'the highest figure, viz : $12 50 for retail licJensq and $20 for wholesale privileges. This, of course, naturally enough cause's some dis-sati$faclion,andthcquei-tion i3 asked, wlu irresponsible ? Of course it will be said atdface that if all had come up promptly iri rAuust and paid their taxes, there would have been nothing to complain of. Jest so, Josiah'; but you know how it is ft 1 i yourself. A poor man has'nt got money It his command all the time and if a fel low can , pay fifteen days or thirty days after an account is due he is doing right well these hard times. Wc think in this case that all should be permit to share alike in the matter. Gentlemen of the Board of Aldermct and Board of Audit also, what say you all? Do the defendants stand guilty or not yiilty upon this question ? ' It Is a" remarkable fact which we can not' explain, that the boy who does not hknow that the pin is loaded U neverthe less always to bo jfejand at the, safe end of the gun.
