In further ' argument of the position we assumed yesterday in regard to the vacancy on the Boasd-of Aldermen, from theSecond Ward, we will rise again to remark that it was agreed by the general committee of delegates from the different wards appointed to decide the' question as to whether we should appeal to the Legislature to reappoint the old Board of Aldermen or proceed to an election in the different wards that tr htnever a vacancy occurred the Board of Aldermen must allow the ward in which the vacancy may exist to name the man to fill the vacancy, and that the wishes of the ward in this ' particular' would be respected. This "was guaranteed by the general oinmit tee, a majority of whom favored the' reappointment of the old Board. The Second Ward, through their delegates, it will be remembered, held out for a iong time in opposition to a re appointment by the Legislature, but when they re ceived this assurance they gracefully yielded and made the petitiou to the leg islature to reappoint the old Board unan imous. Ab a matter of course then we expect the Board of Aldermen to fulfill the promise which was made by their frieads in good faith and accepted in like manner by those who did not agree t the first proposition for reappointment until after the promise referred to above was given and accepted.

A Remarkable Wedding. Mr. Lot t Croom, a highly esteemed cit izen of Holly township, Pender county, of just four-score years, led to the altar yesterday in Caintuck township, a bloom ing widow ef jusc three-score years, and the two wers made one. Mrs. R. A. Mc Gowan,was the happy bridi, who now rejoices in being the fourth wife of the bridegroom. Our informant did not state whether the happy young couple propos ed making an extended bridal tour, bnt we suppose as it is ao new thing to either f the fortnnate pair, that they will just settle ddwn in a matter of fact way, and enjoy their remaining days likt young oceing doves, who have cooed before. i i m i.

New1 Telegraph Line Yesterday's Charlotte Obsereer says: The new telegraph line from Wilmifg ton to Charlotte, no w be ing constructed by the Western Union Telegraph Com pany, is completed aa far as Rockingham, and the work is being rapidly pushed forward. This line is to bo msod exclu' sively for commercial purposes, and sup plies a need which has been long felt. The line now in operation belongs to the Carolina Central Railway. Plows, Shovels, Pitchtorks, Spade Rakes, Trace Chains, Plow Lines, &c. For the lowest prices, go to Jaoobi's. Two Appropriations. ! Tnere aro two items of interest from Washington Gity. One la that an ap propriation of $65,000 has been recom mended for the purpose of building a pub lic building in Wilmington and the other that in the River and Harbor bill $40, 000 for the Cape Fear river is among the items reported. Whether the latter ap propriation will be sufficient for the pur pose for which it is designed we are not in formed but opine that it is not. Tho appropriation for the public building is, we imagine, the result of Judge Russell's efforts and is an evidence that, if he isa Republican and a Green backer, be has not forgotten that he is also a Wilming tonian. The proposed new edifice is in tended for a Postoffice and a Federal Court Room i Happiness and prosperity depend to a very great extent upon good health.

DeBernia -Roberts, a gentle man well-known to some of the residents of this city, where ho had relatives, died in Charleston on the 28th ult, last Wed nesday, of consumption. Deceased was the son of an Episcopal minister, formerly of Newbern, but for many years since the war a resident of New York, and a grandson of Archibald MeLane Hooper, early in this century one of the most prominent representatives of the Cape Fear section. Mr. Roberta was during the war in the Confederate navy and was stationed in Wilmington for some time. After the close of the war ha re moved to New York and a year or so ago was sent South by his physicians. He came to Wilmington and went up on Black River to visit relations there. From there be went on last Summer to How York and most have been again ordered South, only to die in Charleston. He leaves a Widow and several children.

Case still on trial.- -Mr. Best's New scheme. We understood yesterday that the object of Mr. Best's visit ; to our city last week was in' connection with a project which he now has on hand for building a rail road from Salisbury to Wadesboro. He wants aid in the enterprise and; loofcs to the owners of the Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta R, R( ani to the citizons of Wilmington, for assistance. What the re-. fiponse will : be hs not as- yet, it seems, been fully decided upon. Mr. Best, we understand, professes considerable regard for Wilmington; acd is willing in this way to aid our city ; Vut V we opine that Mr Best's regard, first and foremost, is for his own interests.; , . . The Eistero terminus of the Western North Carellna R. R. is at Salisbury. ' By ballding a ' newroad from . Salisbury to Wadesboroj ci;! Best will be in close connection. with r both Wilming ton aad Charleston, : with the former by two routes, and with- the' latter, by one only. If we are not mistaken the same interest ; which. controls the W., O. & A. R. R. also controls the North Eastern, from Florence to Charleston, the Cheraw & Darlington and trie Cheraw & Wades boro. At Florence the division between Wilmington and Charleston will come in - and' as Florence' is about equl-distant' from both cities and . the . roads, leading thereto are under the same controll it will be difficult to see how any pecnlhtr advantage is to be derived by WUmlagton from this new proposed coalition with Mr. Best. This gentleman, understand, will - find every thing hunkl-dory for himself. He could thus use the entire line of his road from AsheTille (or Paint Rock) to Saliabury and could probably impose a heavy tariff on all ho carries. . Y If Mr. Best Is in earnest in seeking an outlet at Wilmington lei him build a con naction between Hickory aad Lincolnton, or let him bay the garoitna Central (as it haT been rumo'reoTiat bo will do) and make, his connections anywhere to suit himself. , He will thea have a seaport of his own aad a long line of railway which will penetrate, from the ;jea; coast1 beyond jltBidfe. flM -ji ,nsi: 1 ' Tott canjbtry To. 1 CJobfelng and Heats ing Stores at almost any prce at Jacobi's Haware epbi.

At a regular meeting of Stonewall Lodee No 1, K. of P.. held at their Cas tle II!!, May 3d, 1880, a Committee was appointed to draft suitable resolutions re pressive nt their sorrow in the death of Col. 11. G. Flanner, a member of said Lodge, who reported the following pre amble and resolutions: Whkueas. Death having removed from our Lodge our Brother Henry G. Flan ner, and whereas it is bnt meet and pro per that we who knew him as a Brother and as a friend should record our sorrow at Lis untimely end and our appreciation of his manly character and his true worth, be it . Mesolvcd, That 13 the death of Brother Flanner, not only this Lodge, but the Order at large, has lost one whose zeal in the cause of Pythian Knighthood had, and would in future have done much to build it up, a tower of strength and usefulness in the land!. Resolved, That we extend our heartfelt sympathies to his family and friends; and while we mourn with them their loss, we have faith in Almighty God and the promise. He has given U3 that we: shall meet our brother again. Beesolved, That out of respect to his memory our castle ball be draped in mourning,that the members wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days, and that on a blank page in our minute book be inscribed these resolutions, together with the name, age and date of death of our brother. Resolved, That a copy of these resolua tions be sent to the family, and published in the city papers. 'G. W. Thames, ) ' Jno. J. Fowleb, Com. It. W.
