Philadelphia county gave Qarfield
97,238; Hancock, 76,357; and Weaver
237.
Oregon has gonre for Garfield by about
600 majority and: California giv23 Han
cock about 300.
The Republicans claim three Con
j, "esmen in Arkansas but we predict
that in a day or two they will be glad to
compromise on one.
We make a most gracious bow to the
go-d. real, old-fa3hioned flesh and blood
J)mocrat3 in Robeson county. They
have done wonders antf that, too, only
after a fierce fight. They are fitted to
be free and successful. Threes cheer and
a tiger for old Robeson !
Poor John Kelly is in a bad box. lie
is getting ' some hard blows, right and
left. The Young Men's Democratic Club
met night before last at their rooms, in
New York,- and denounced Kelly and
Tammany. The speakers thought that
the primary cause of failure in the re
cent "election wa3 due to Tammany's
course last year, as led by Kelly.
. m. (m
David Davis, it is said, may be count
ed upon to vote and act with the Demo
crats in the next Senate. If Gen. Ma
hone will do the same this will give the
Democrats a maioritv of two. If he acts
- . ? t
with the Republicans the Senate will be
a tie, with the casting vote in the Vice-
President's hands. As to which side
Mahone will align himself with, no one
seems able to say with authority.'
- ' Kr. '
As we felt " sure would be the case,
Gov. Jarvis ha3 run behind both the
State and National tickets. This is gen
erally the case in every State election
In 1876 Vance ran behind Tilden and
also, several names on the State ticket.
The Ntws and Observer thinks that
Jarvis' maiority will be about '7,300,
the balance of the State ticket's between
8,000 and 10,00d and Hancock's about
10,000.
The Board of State Canvassers is
composed of the Governor, who is Chair
man ex-officio, the Secretary .of State,
the Attorney-General and two State
Senators, to be chosen by the Governor.
They will meet in Raleigh ron Wednes
day next, the 1 Tth inst., to J canvass the
returns for Presidential electors and on
the 25th iri.st. they will again meet to
canvass the returns for members of
Congress . and Judges of the Superior
Court. i
The Bernhardt made her first appear
ance in this country at Booth's Theatre,
New York, on Monday night, in the xole
of Adrienne Lecouvreur. Three thous
and persons witnessed the performance
and the theatre accommodates but 2,200.
rMahy ladies were among those who stood
throughout tho performance. Probably
of the 3,000 present there were not 300
who understood a. word tnat was uttered
on the stage as the play
was rendered in the French
language. . 2,700 fools within four
walls! It is incredible but it is a fact.
There seems to have been considerable
dissatisfaction at the performance and
the critics are not agreed as to its merits.
The Neios and Observer is very
Complimentary in its allusions both to
he Democracy of this district .and our
Congressman-eject. It say3 in its yester
day's issue:
The sterling Democracy of the Third
Congressional district, led by the vigor
ous j aggressive and gallant campaigner,
Shackelford, have won a glorious vic
tory, and they now rejoice in their re
demption. Mr. Shackelford is thirty-six
years of ae, and is a native ot Onslow
county. He entered the Confederate
service in 1862 as a private in Company
H, Third North Carolina Cavalry. He
was promoted to a lieutenancy in the
Thirty-filth North Carolina Regiment,
was 'captured near Greenville, N. C., and
remained in prison until the close of the
war. In. 1872 he was elected to repre
sent his county in the Legislature, and
has since served continuously in the As
sembly. In the prime of manhood, and
bringing to the responsible position to
which he has been chosen a clear head, a
spotless character, and a warm devotion
to his State, he will acquit himself as one
worthy the high place of a representa
tive of the patriotic and intelligent peo
ple of the Cape Fear district. .
From the publishers, Messrs. T. B.
Peterson & Brothers, of Philadelphia,
we have a copy of Adolphe Belot's latest
work, ML Grande Florine" translated
from the French byJGeo. Cox
La Grande Florine" is the sequel to
and conclusion of "The Strangers of
DAILY
Paris," and is even stronger and more
absorbing than that romance. It is a
brilliant example of Adolphe Belot's
concise and wonderfully graphic style,
The plot 13 of intense interest, and is
constructed and developed in a most skil
ful and effective manner. While "La
Grande Florine" takes up and finishes
the narrative of "The Strangles of Par
is," sufficient new matter is introduced to
give it individuality and impart to it an
additionaljcharm essentially its own. It is
rich in all the elements which go 4o
make up a first-class romance. It deals
witl; love, jealousy, heroism, wifely devo
tion, trickery and crime, and abundantly
proves- its gifted author's deep acquaint
ance with human nature in all its phases.

There will be a pound party, we hear,

good people, who having sacrifice! every

up their abode in the Home, will be most
liberally pounded by their friends to

suffer no evil consequences from the over
exertions of the pounders.
To Slop Bleeding.
It is said that bleeding from a wound,
on man or beast, may be stopped by a
mixture of wheat and common salt, in
equal parts, bound on with a cloth. If
the bleeding is profuse use a large quan

be left on for hours, or even days, if nec
essary. The person who gave us this
receipt says; ."In this manner I saved
the life of a horse which was bleeding
from a wounded: artery; the bleeding
ceased in five, minutes after the applica
tion." , . ' " ;, ' '

Looking fur Bondsmen.
It is one thing to be elected to a lucra
tive office and another thing to provide
a good bond which will pass the 'lynx,
eyed Arguses of the" Board cf County
Commissioners.- us .many successful
candidates will readily testify. Tite
Pender county Republicans, it seems, are
looking to Wilmington business men,
who are ! Mnocrats, to hdp them out.
The Slu r .i'-elett of that county, we un
derstand, has already declared that his
bond will le endorsed here and to-day
the Register of Deeds elect was in the
city, scouring the streets, under the lead
ership of a prominent Republican resid
ing here, looking for endorsers. He was
offering a per cent age to any one who
would secure him a good bond but at last
accounts he was unsuccessful. It is not
likely, we are happy to state, that any
Pender county Republicans will find
their sureties in this city. Straw bonds
arc not worth much under the scrutiny
of Democratic commissioners.
