Abandon the Case.
As was feared would be the result tha
American Union Telegraph Company
have definitely decided not to pay the as
sessment made against them for damages
to the Wilmington & VNeldoa and Wilmington,-Columbia
& Augusta Riiiroads.
We haye been shown a letter written to
Messrs. Russell & Rlcaud, the counsel for
the American Union, by Mr. D. II. Bates,
First Vice Presidant of the Company,
wherein Messrs. R. & R. are instructed
to take a non suit, pay the costs and d'si
miss the case. This is really a blow to
the mercantile interests of our city ana
one which we must all regret. The only
hopes now of getting the American Union
lines to this city is by way of the Caro
lina Central R. R. '.

"The 'Boys In Blue."
We learn that thsre was a gathering of
Greenbackera last night at the corner of
Six,th and Nixon streets, to have a pow
wow, and for the purpose of listening to
their orators upon the evils threatening
the country, provided the Democratic
party or the Republicans carry the No
vember elections; and that while iu the
midst of this innocent pasttime and
musement,lthe meeting was interrupted
by an organization styling themselves the
'Boys in Blue," which came marching
in through the crowd there assembled
with drums beating and torches flaming,
disturbing the speaking and otherwise
bshaving in a disorderly manner. As
we were not present we do ..net care to
particularize, other than to say that we
hear there were serious indicatiocs of a
eeneral row at one time, and it was all
w ....
caused, as we understand, by the inter
ference on the part of the Republican or1
ganization above named with the Green
back meeting. There were only two po
licemen cn the ground, but they were
powerlesBto do any good. One man was
arrested, wo learn, but escaped through
the assistance of his political friends,
We tuvvo. heard in addition to tha above
statement, that one of the policemen was
struck in the back with a mist-ix of some
kind. Now we would like to atk in all
seriousness why such conduct is allow
ed ? If the "Boy's in Blue." or the Rad
ical party are the only persons that are
to be allowed to assemble and have their
meetings without any interference, why
then let us. surrender the city at once to
them and "make no pretence of anything
else. But if the Greenbackera ana other
political organizations are guaranteed the
same rights under the Cons itutioa that
the Radicals have, then wo emphatically
say, let them nave inose ngus n
t requires the presence of every lav and
order citizen in the community to
protect them. If the police authorities
would show a little determination in this
matter we believe such disturbances could
ba prevented. We well recollect that
Goneral Robert Ransom, while Marshal i
of this city directly after the war, single
handed and alone, with an uplifted axe ia
his hand stayed the advance of a whole
company of colored firsmen on Second
street, and thus by his courage and bold,
determined front, prevented a breach ot
the peace which was threatening at the
time between two fire companies of the
. T
city. It is true we uoa cavo a ikansom
every day, but otill wa think it is about
time to have his example . imitated in a
small way, at least, and a s'op put to such
outrageous practices and disturbances as is
gaid to have occurred last night.

ATot Much of a Joke.
The alarm of fire last night or rathe
this morning between one and two o'clock
cime from tha box on the ror.i r -f
Fotr h and Htrcett streets. The alarm
was a false one. so we have been inform
ed, but the fire department turned all the
eame and , went away up on Seventh
street to no purpose. We mado inquiry
of the Chief of Polios at the. City Hall
who it was that gave the alarm, but we
could not- ascertain;! we then asked who
held the kejs to the alarm box 'and were
told several, but up to the time of our in
quiries, 2 o'clock, no investigation had
been made int the matter, as ne'ar as we
could ascertain. If an investigation is
had we will let our readers know the
result, provided we can get tha informa"
ticn. We should think cur worthy fire
men would bo interested to know who it
was that played such a practical joke
upon the city at their expense.

Dr. R. V. Piekce, Buffalo, N. Y.:
Dear Sir I was treated by four dif
ferent physicians without avail for disease
of the liver and uteru3. Some time ago I
commenced the use of your Favorite Pre
scription and Discovery, being at the
time, confined part of the time to my
bed. At first my improvement was slow,
but I now find myself well cfter the use
of four bottles of each of the medicines.
With many, many thanks.
I am, very respectfully,
