The County Convention. The delegates . trom the various ! towns ships in the couLty and Waids in the city, met at the Court House this ifternqon, when Mr. C. H. Robinson, Chairman of the City Executive Committee, called the meeting to order, and Col. W. L.. Smith was requested to, take the chair,; arid. Mr Jas. C. Munds ttfact as ."secretary. There was a pretty full attendance ofthe various delegations, tjie Fifth Ward! in the city and Federal Point tdwnsliip coming! to the front, each with a contested delegation. This matter was referred for report to a Committee consisting of .Messrs. A. T-'Lcn-don, Norwood Giles and W. G. McKae, which committee were still in consultation i ' as we went to press. A full report is therefore necessarily deferred until Mon day. "; , i ' ! v Maj. Stedman Withdf awi 1 -i .i . it Immediately at the organization this afternoon of the Democratic jCounty Con vention, Major Chas. pi. Stedman arose in the Court Room and in a short address, stated that after mature consideration he had concluded to witbJraw from t the canvass and must, therefore, be no longer considered as a candidate (for . nomination! to Congress from this district; Thisj step, he said, was tak(n by him in .the' interest of of unity and harmony lin the Democratic ranlfs, to which all other con siderations must bow. -j We regret that it is impossible for us to give here the full teit.of Major Stedman's remarks. Suffice it to .say that they were but a reflection of , the high position that gentleman! has always taken in the councils of i his party. He has in this primary Campaign done nothing of which any. one could be ashamed, as he has certainly lost nothing by his noble and manly course m the County Convention. He ?is stronger to day than ever before and we do not think he will ever regret his decision. ' Bev. T- rase Rlcaud- .'.

Yesterdays' Post has information to the effect that Mr. Thos. M. Smith. U. S revenue agent here, has serious aspira- tions ; that he is tired of filling a subordi nate position and wants to be moved up a little higher and with this object in view has recently visited Washington City for the purpose of supplauting Col. Ike Young, the Collector for this district This Is what the Fost "says, but we have a ity-e bird who sometimes flies the wire route between this city and Washington and it has whispered to us that Mr. Smith's aspirations take a different direction an4 points towards the Post Office in this city ; that he thinks he can get Col. Brink out and Mr. Smith in. This, ac cording to the report of our "in telli2entcorre8pondent." seems to be the rue in war dness of Mr.l Smith's recent visit to Washington. The Carolina Central Railway Shops. We learii from the columns of the Charlotte Observer that an effort is to be made by gentlemen in that city to in duce the authorities of the Carolina Cen tral Railway to remove their shops from Laurinburs to Charlotte, The Observer says ot this movement : T The Charlotte Chamber of Commerce held its meeting for May last night and took i very important step in the ap pointment of a committee to confer with the 1 authorities of the Carolina Central Railroad to learn of them what induce ments it would be necessary for the city of Charlotte to hold out to the company to secure the removal of their shops from Laurinburg to this place. The committee consists of J. H. Weddington, S. A. Cohen and Charles R. Jones, and these gentlemen will, as early as practicable, open negotiations with the railroad au thorities upon the matter in question. This is a matter of great moment to Charldtte, and none. of our people can but hope that the committee may pros ecute its "labors to a successful issue. The Twentieth. The Charlotte Observer, says: The Char lotte Grays have, received a letter, from the Whitinig Rifles, of - Wumington, in reply to an invitation to visit Charlotte on the 20 th of May, and become the guest of the Grays, stating that the Wilming ton company will attend the annnal celebration, provided tha Carolina Central Railroad will make such transportation arrangements as will allow the company to imake the trip and lose only one week day. Therailroad company is not pre pared to give an answer at present, for the reason they are yet unable to tell what schedule will be in operation at that time. It is also learned that there is a strong probability that the Cape Fear Light Artillery , of Wilmington, will be pres ent. They, have been invited by the Grays to come. The Hornet's Nest Riflemen have invi ted the Governor's Guards, of Columbia, one of the finest military companies in the Southern States, to come as their guests, but as yet have received no reply. There is little doubt, however, that his company will also honor us by their presence. With the four companies of Mecklen burg and three visiting companies, we will be able to make a military display such as has not been seen in Charlotte -i X .0 since the centenial celebration three yean aso. Girl3 of Wilmington will wear dotted muslin this summer. it Chapel Mil. V e understand that Rev. Geo J Fatter- son, D.

Promotion. At a meeting of the Cape Fear Light Artillery, held last evening, Mr. Eugene Maffitt was elected, by acclamation, to the position of Third Lieutenant, made vacant by the resignation of Lieutenant W. E. King. Mr. Maffitt will make an excellent officer. i Ex Confederates. The ladies of the Memorial Associa' ion wish particularly that all ex -Con federates, of whatever branch ofthe service, whethef army, navy or civil, should take part in the approaching celebration of Memorial Day. A position within the enclosure at tte Cemetery will be reserved for al! who go in the procession. Burglars at Clarkton. Our correspondent at Clarkton, on the C. C. R. W., sends us some particulars of a heavy burglaiytnQ robbery which oc curred at that point on Thursday night. The viotims were Messrs. Claik & Carrie. The rascals first effected an entrance into the residence of Cant. J." I). Currie and stole from thence two gold watches and some $45 in money. They also took the key of Messrs. Cfcfrk & Currie's store ffom his pant's pocket and with it effected an entrance to the store which they robbed of clothing, boots, tobacco and a shot gun, together with' some five or six dollars in money in all amounting to about $o00 in values. There were two money drawers in the store and fortunately one of these escaped their attentions. There must have been three or four persons concerned in these transactions, as several different tra-cks, all of persons in stockings, were discovered yesterday morning, and it is reported that several other stores in the surrounding county have also been bur glarized! of late and a determined effort 1s to be made to unearth the rascils which we trust may succeed. Congressional District Convention. A meeting of the members of the Dem ocratic Executive Committee for th:i , the Third Congressional District, was "held at the Purcell House this morning. Maj. C. M, StedmaD, the Chairman called the committee to crder and. there upon tendered his resignation of that posi tion as well as of his membership in the Committee, stating that he was impelled thereto by the fact of his? having an nounced himself a candidate for nomina tion to Congress. The resignation was accepted and Col. II. I. Short, of Colum bus, was thereupon elected .Chairman of the Committee, and Maj. T. H. McKoy wa3 elected Committeeman from New Hanover. j The resignation of Col. Jno. D. Taj lor, member from Brunswick county, was ten dered and accepted, and John Bennett, Esq., was elected to fill the vacancy. Clinton, Sampson county, was selected as the place, and Friday, May 31st., as the time, for holding the District Nominat ing Convention. Maj. C W. McClammy, the Secretary, was j directed to notify the Chairmen of Executive Committees in the counties com posing this Congressional District, of the time and place for holding the Convention, and the papers published in the district were requested to copy the notice of meet ing. , ! . i- There is Nothing Like Having A sufficient, quantity of a good thing.
