The Daily Review, JOSH. T. JAMES, Editor & Prop. WILMINGTON. N. C. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 20. 1879. Entered at the hosTOFFiqc at Wilmington, -N.

Henry M Stanley is now ascending the Congo, bound once more for the heart of Africa, by a different route. He is acting for the International Association, of whieti the King of Belgium is president. The reduction in rent made by Mr Parnell to bis Irish tenants is 30 per cent lets than that made last year by the Duke of Bedford (who has no Irish prop erty) tb'hia Eaglish tenants, and less than that made by many Irish landlords. During the four months ending Friday week the total amount of gold brought to the p rt of New York from Europe Was 71,072,950, or an average of $513, 80 for every day of the one hundred and t. venty-one. These figures are very sig nil'cant.

At Iat the Puihdelphiii Ledyer goes into humor. It editorially says: "We have mo king in this country, but we are getting under the domination of a most formidable 'i ouut" the count that de-. cides elections without regird to the votes." ' 1 The Vicksburg Commercial describes the state of affairs in that city as being nearly a bad as in Brooklyn. There are property owners there who have paid no taxes on real estate since 1872. and the o y ha no power to compel them to PaJ. " ' The debt ordinance has been adopted ia Louisiana by 14 0,00 majority. The ordinance ncales the interest te 2 percent. fr five year, 3 per cent, for 16 years, and 4 per ceut. thereafter, and its adopt ion will fix the State tax at 6 iostead of 6 mills. The personality of Satan was discu s J ed in a conference of Baptist clergymen at Now London, Conn. There was no vote, but a majority of the speakers were on the afTi mative side of the question, 'Is there a personal being answering to the1 name of Satan? On Feb. 19., the anniversary of the abo lition of serfdom ia Russia, the city of S Petersburg is to present to the Czir a sli ver casket containing twenty-five water color drawings, representing the great public buildings and monuments erected inftbe capital during the twenty-five years of his reign. This gift is to cost over eight thousand roubles, A Bayard club was organized ;n St. Louii last wt-k, and already numbers several hundred Democrats, including prominent ineichants, attorneys and poli lici.ui.-v The p eamble of the constitution of th. club s-ys : 'The obj lcts of this club shall be to tngo upon the Democrats of the nation ih' j o Hoy of iiominating Senator Bayard tor the Presidency, and, when noiniuated, of electiug him.' At the i anhattan Chess Club the other eveuiag Cpt. George II. Mackenzie cn gaged nine oeu players at once, each play ing a septrtte game ajainst hin?. The tables were set in a hollow square, and he mjved from o-ie to the other making his pUy.iu ai.mo.tt every inatance after a sin gle glauce at tiie board.

Th s is the remedy: My favorite retort to him is to ask if he has ever heard the tftory of 'your uncle and your aunt?' It he has hs does not want to hear it again and is silent. If he has not and innocently falls in o the trap by ex pressing a desire to hear it, I say in sol emn voice, lf your auat had bean a man she would have been your uncle ' Members of Con grass are very loth to take the 10 per cent of their salaries in silver, aud many of them have begged off oa Tarious pretax s, so that the sergeant,, a'-arms of the House finds himself in pos session of more' of tha dellara of the fathers which he knows not how to dis pose of. The Treasurer refuses to ex change them, insisting that they most be paid out to relieve the Treasury of tte plethora of silver, which is continually increasing under tbe law regulating the coinage. The New! York Sun loves Grant about as well as al nacV dog loves water. It likens him unto Louis Napoleon and de clares that Grant never shuddered at the How of bumari blood, however large the stream. A patriot nee, ambition in stead of love of country niw seems to be his animating spirit, lie is tbe only American ever bern sincd the Revolution who shows no reverence for the name and example of Washington. AMLIUCaN CfARRYING TRA OF. The New York Tribune says a careful review of the shipping iutetsts during the past fiscal year discloses facts of deep in terest to trie whole country. Tho steady decline of j the American carrying trade continues. The, quantity jof goods exported and imported ,has greatly increased, but the ratio of -trie exports carried in Ameri can bottoms fell to 17 per cent, as com pared with 22 per cent, the year before, aad thus reached the lowest! figure ever known, if we except the peiiod of the late t i - war. I ! - ! A SIGNIFICANT FACT. Wo fully believe, says 1 the New Y rk Tunes, there are emment 'Republicans of whem the Hon. E. B. Washburne may be taken as a type, with whom Reputli can success would bo quite as secure as with Grant, but, at the same time, there can be no mistakia! the fact that the unanimity with which 'men of all sections and all parties .accept I General Grant as the foremost American citizen of his time,' will give to bis candidacy, should he ac cept such a responsibility, a significance altogether: new to our politics. ADJOURNMENT FOR THE UOLI- "- DAYS. Congress adjourned yesterday, at noon, for the holidays, to meet again on the 6th of January, 1880. 1 In the Senate, pre vious to adjournment, the most important business tran Basted was the appointment of the committee by Mr. Wheeler to act oa the resolution Introduced by Senator Voorhees, of Indiana, to investigate the ciuses of tbe (negro1 emigration from Southern to Northern States. The fol lowing Senators constitute the commit tee: Messrs. Voorhees, Vance, Pendleton, Windom and Blaine. v , In the House the most important busi ness was the appointment by the Speaker of the following committee on the York town Centennial Celebration: Messrs. Goode, of Virginia ; Hall, of Vermont ; Loring, of Mississippi Aldrich, of Rhode Island ; Hawley, of ponnecticut ; Mul ler, of New'York : Brigham, of New Jer- . j sey ; Dick, of Pennsylvania; Martin, of Delaware ; Talbot, of Maryland ; Davis, of North Carolina; Richardson, of South Carolina ; and Persons, of Georgia. Capt. Andrew Geddes and Lieut. R. D. Read, Jr., of the Tenth. Cavalry, are in luck. The latter I was lately convicted by court martial at Fort Davis of drunk enness; and, as the offence occurred while he was en duty as officer of the day, his comrades sentenced him to be dismissed from the service. Gens Sherman and rd recommended a commutation of this sentence, and R B Hayes njade it consist only of the loss of tbe surplus of pay 'above $600 during oue year. .Capt Geddes was still more fortunate. He was found guilty at San Antonio of perjury and other couduct unbecoming aa officer and a gentteu a , and sentenced to be cashiered, dismissed from the service, and putinjiil for throe I years; but R. "B, Hayes found that 1 technical errors had occurred in the1 trial, and the revising authority was of th? ojpiniou that the findings "are uot fully Sustained" by the evidence: so Capt.: Geddts is released from arrest and returned to duty as an officer in goodstandiLg. New York Sun. The Sun might have goue a little fur ther and narrated, some of the luck which has attended Pustnuater Tyler, of Balti more. Some time ago he called a lady clerk into his office and there committed a gross and indecent assault on hor per son. She reported the fact and an inves tigation was ordered jaa investigation , the result of which wis concluded ! upon before the investigation began. The evi. dence was submitted to Hayes and the announcement is now made known that i I 1 ' Tyler has been exhonerated and' retaioed in his office while the lady has been dis missed in disgrace, all renting upon Hits Fraudulency's own sweet will. GEN. GRANT'S POLITENESS. If the story told in the is true, then Gen. Grant to have profited much by with crowned heads a'ni during his dead-head toar of the world. We give the report as we find it: With a party of friends, including sev eral ladies, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant dined New York San dees not seem his intercourse high dignitar'cs public dining hall in Chicago. Of the other evening in the of the Palmer Heuse course, when his presence became known. the gussts of the hotel made a point to dineat tbe same hour. The room was full of fashionably dressed men and wo men. Grant's demeanor at the table was watched with natural curiosi'y, in order t) ascertain hew far his manners had been improved by travel and intercourse with the upper circles of European society, j . The ta jla at which Geu. Grant and his friends wee seated was remote from the entrance to the room. When the ex president of the United States had fiaished h's dinner be lipped his chair back, sndl without remark, draw from his pocket a cigar case. He deliberately selected a large Havana, bit off tbe end, called to the astonished waiter for a match, ! lighted the cizar, and sent clouds of smoke risht and left and up toward the frescoed ceil ing. The suests at the other tables looked upon this proceeding wih undisguised amazement. One lady arose and left the room. Tbe ladies of Grant's party v ere somewhat embarrassed, and hastily made preparations to depart. Grant, however, exhibited perfect uncoiicern. lie got up when his friends arose, and slowly walked the length of the room, his cigar firmly held at a sharp angte between his lee'h, puffing vigorously away. A 8 soon as the ex-president's party lad disappeared, and the raurmut- f disgust had subsided, a commercial trav veler, who had been sitting not far. from Grant, drew a cigar from his pocket, lighted it,- and sauntered down the room. "This is a free country." be remarked, aud one citizen is as good . as another, here or anywhere else.
