Postponed, Until Friday.
The weather this morning was so un
pleasant after, all the, promises of fair
weather which had been made, that the
management of the excursion which was
tD have taken placa down'tha riyer to-day
wisely concluded to . postpone it until
Fridayr This was also the desire of many
who wanted to go but who would .not
venture in such weather as we had this
morning. Therefore, ladies and gentle
men, the promises made for ' to-day will
hold good for Friday when we trust
that the' weather will be fair and that
everybody will have a good time. .
Judge Cant well's Lecture
One of the finest audiences, in point of
numbers, that has yet attended the read
ing of tb.9 series of papers before the
Historical and Scientific Society, was as
sembled last evening to hear Judge Cant
weli's lecture on. Fort Johnson. It was
a pleasant paper, well and carefully pre
pared, and was heard with much interest.
A very interesting historical sketch of the
o d Fort was given and one fact at least
was introduced which was unknown to
many of the audience, even to those best
acquainted with the history of the Cape
Fear section. This was in reference to
the demand made upon Governor
Try on for the surrender of Jain.es
Houston, the royal stampmastr, who
was appointed for the purpose of distrib
uting the stamps which arrived at old
Brunswick on the Diligence and which,
it will remembered, Cols. Ashe and Wad
dell, at the head of their militia regi
ments, refuted lo' .allow to be
landed. It "is the first time we
have . ever heard 'of Cornelius
Harnett as the leader of this expedition
and the author of this demand for the
surrender of Houston and yet it is histor
ically true as Judge Cant well derives bis
authority from.Tryon's letterbook, wLich
is now in Riieigh. He haa promised to
hand us a copy of the document,- in a
day or two, for publication
Judge Cant well's lecture was ia every
way pleasing and interesting and would
bear a repetition here at an early day.

t v A The Famous Swimmer;
Capt. Paul Boyton, tho famous : s yvim
mer, passed through the city last night
for Charleston, where he will exhibit on
Friday. He proposes, if the necessary
arrangements can be made here, to stop
ver in Wilmington on Saturday, but we
think it doubtful if he gives an exhibition
bre. Saturday is the only day at hi3
command bow as ho is to exhibit in Ncr-
folk on Monday and is then obliged to

in session at Smithrille for several days
past, will adjourn this afternoon. Bob
Everett, who inflicted fatal wounds in
s - -
the omentum of his half brother, George
Everett, en the evening of the 7th of Jan
uary last, was tried for murder, but the
evidence was not sufficient to convict.
The . lory returned a verdict of man

10 years in the penitentiary.

Back Again.
Mr. Roddick, of the- firm of Brown &
Roddick, has returned to the city after
an absence of a month at the North,
where be has been, strictly and solely, in
the interest of his patrons. He bought
piles upon piles of goods for the Spring
and Summer trade, and the thing which
seems to bother the firm now is as to
where they . will put them all. - We re
spectfully suggest that they need'nt bor
row any trouble of this kind as their cus
tomera will solve this question for them;
they will find where to put these new
goods and they will "put" them all over
the town and the country, too.

A Succtss
The shirt factory recently established
in this city by Mr. J. Elsbach has proven
to: be a greater success than it was ex
pected to be so - soon after its establish
ment. The citizens of the city are en
couraging the enterprise and country
merchants are -buying largly of the
"Royal" and 1 Congress" shirts, with
which to supply their retail trade. Mr.
Elsbach is now working thirty-hands and
as his business is increasing he finds be
will have to employ more help. It all
ways gives us pleasure to chronicle tfee
success of any Wilmington enterprise
and we hope ere long to see the business
grow so large as to require Mr. Elsbach
toj employ hundreds ot workmen.

Steamboat Company are going to run a

On motion of Mr. Ilowland, of Gar

be done by ballot. Captain Kenan, of
Daplin, desired to know what majority
should govern in the committee; whether
the two-thirds rule as .usul ia the Con
vention, or a simple majority should pre
vail. The Committee decided that a sim
ple majority in committee business was all
that was necessary.
The next business in order being the
selection of a placa, for holding tho Dis
trict Convention, Mr. Uowland, of Car
teret, placed in nomination Beaufort
which was warmly seconded and cn.
dorsed by Mr. . Shackelford, of Onslow,,
who claimed that his section had never
received anything, and he thought " that
their wishes might le granted in this
particular intaDce, Mr. Smith ,of Cum,

Balloting was then proceeded with which
resulted as follows: For Fayetteville
6 votes; for Beaufort 5; total cast, 11,
the Chairman declining to voto.as there
was no tie, Fayetteville was thcri an
nounced by the Chair as' being tho placa
selected for holding the next Democratic
Convention for this Congressional Dis

next question which came up for con
sideration, which was finally decided af
ter a general discussion and an interchange
of ideas and opinions, upon the first
Wednesday in June, (the 2nd day Jof the

made by, Captain Richardson, of Colum

requested to secure a reduction of railroad
and steamboat fare for delegates to the
Convention.
Oa motion cf Mr. Shackeilord, of
Onslow, a resolution was passed request

A Pathetic Incident.

a'J'c!C'j!tg ,scn: . 'It. :emi tlul oni of the
habiiues 1 Pa-ld' Hollow, a young
whire woman, I jes;jcctab!e parentage,
but disreputable U ibits, had a quarrel this
morning with Lcr mulatto paramour, and

.much grieved and mortified at the course
pursued by tha daughter of his dead
brother, and this morning t'uis near res
lation of the degraded girl was. in the city
on a visit for Eom'o purpose, during
which time he took occasion to make a
search for the fallen one for the purpose
of reclaiming her from the path aod
haunts of vice back to the pure home of
her childhood. Pursuing his researches
vigilantly and J diligently after his lost
one tho old man soon traced tho erring
girl up to the City Halt . where ha dis
covered that the obiect of his
search was imprisoned jn a cell.
.
Requesting the privilege cf an inter
view he was conveyed down stairs to the
place of confinement of his unhappy
relative when the bolt to the cell was
thrown back and tho door swinging open,
on its hinges revealed the uncle and niece
in full view cf each other. The poor
creature, with piteous crie3 fell sorrowing
into her uncle's arms, which were open to
receive her, while the strong man lost all
control of himself and wept like a chiid
The scene ia described by those who wit
nessed it as being most affecting indeed,
The way ward girl was bailed out of pris
on and tho uncle determined to take her
away with ihim on the train tonight.
But now comes the sad part of this most
unhappy affair; no sooner had the girl
been released from prison, than she who
had Bartered htr prieeless jewol of virtue
managed to elude the tender and forgiving
relative and when last seen was beastly
drunk in one of the low grogaries in the
classic precincts of Paddy's Hollow.
Whether the undo will still continue his
endeavors to redeem this poor, degraded,
unfortunate and unhappy human being
wo are unable to say at present. .,
An Unfortunate Waif.
A "young lad, about 13 years of age,
was picked up by the polico in Paddy's
Hollow last night and taken to tho guard
house. There was no complaint of diss
orderly or drunken conduct against him,
but he was taken in custody because he
stated that he had neither friends nor
home to go to. Ho claims to hail from
Conwayboro, S. C, from which place he
ran away on account of tho cruel treat
mant he received at the hands of those
who bad him in charce. " This morninc
u - - , or
Mr. P. M. James, Health Officer of the
city, took the boy to his house and will
care for him until he learns something
more dchaite concerning him. That tho
lad has teea brutally treated is pretty
evident from the . fact that his wrists bear
the marks of a rope, which he says was
when he was tied when about to be whip
ped. The came of the unfortunate fel
low, we learn, is Newbold.
