E. . r M .CC; Hear the PortoSoa BROWN Ga r pets! H M VOL- V " W ILMINGTON, N. C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18. iSSO, NO 228 J Here is an industrial item of real in terest : In 1870 there were employed in the manufacture of cotton seed oil and meal in New Orleans only 180 per sons, and the annual product wa3 worth $322,200. At the present time the number of persons employed is 1,526 and the annual product is worth $2,7S1,150 an increase of over 800 per cent.- Arkansas has the distinguished honor of claiming the only colored member of the net Congress. As wa3 the' case here in 186?, the Democrats in the first district -pvjrfaitrted themselves to be caught napping1, and before they found that the Republicans had a candidate in the field a colored barber slipped in and won the race by about 1,000 majority." The district is overwhelmingly Demo cratic. In 1876 and 1878, the Demo cratic candidate was elected without op position. . This year he was cjefeated sim ply because thousands of Democrats fail ed to take the trouble to go to the polls and vote. There seems to be really rsome doubt as to whether Joseph E. Brown, the newly elected Senator from Georgia, will align himself with the Democratic party. The Radical members of both Houses voted solidly for him, and it has been charged that he gave the Republican caucus assurances that he would act in harmony with the administration. This is,, however, denied by Mr. Brown's Democratic friends. At all events, the new Senator's past record is not such as to inspire very great confidence as. to his course in the fnture. . His defection would throw the Senate into the hands of the Republicans. The New Orleans Democrat truly says that the Republican majority in the nest House was secured by Democratic apa thy and by party disensions in several Southern districts. The loss of the first Arkansas, the third Louisiana, the second Virginia, the ninth Kentucky, the tenth Tennessee, the eighth and other Missouri districts are to be ascribed to these caus es. In all these districts, from which Republicans have been chosen, , the full and combined Democratic vote is overwhelming. The five districts named would have secured the next itouse to the Democrats by a- fair majority, if the party had held together and the full party vote had been polled. i m m m ' There is another silly paragraph afloat which doubtless had its origin in the fertile imagination-of some such voia- cious sheet as the Federicksburg Star, edited by a latter-day "Bourbon." It is to the effect that a scheme is on foot among certain Southern leaders, to have the electoral vote of the South cast for Grant. The story runs that there are enough Grant Republican electors who will be willing to join the South in this schema to secure Grant's election. The only thing there is in the statement is the libel upon the loyalty of Southern Democrats. It is best answered, as it unquestionably will be, by casting 138 votes for Gen. Hancock. LOCAL NEWS.

A fire occurred last night, about half past 1 o'clock, in the engine room of Mr. Alex. Oldham's Grist Mill, on the cor ner of Nutt and Walnut streets. The flames were first discovered by a party of sailors from their boarding house across the way, and they immediately went for it with basins and buckets of water, working all the while like Trojans, tmt1' the flames were subdued. Tc-lay the are jollifying the result of their labor over as many glasses of lager as they can drink, which is Mr. O's. treat. The origin of the fire is supposed to have been sparks from the furnace dropping among the shavings and sawdust used for fuel. Ten dollars will pay the dam ages, Mr. Oldham says, including the lager beer. Anniversary, supper.

The contract was submitted. It is be tween the city on the one side and Messrs. J. A. Cloud, E. E. Burruss and as o ciates oa the other. The approval of the Board of Audit and Finance is certi fied. , ' According io the terms of the con tract a full supply oi water, fit for do mestic use, is to be furnished within eight months after work is begun, said -work to begin as soon as possible after execution of agreement. There arc to be CO double and 15 single hydrants, with 13.) hose openings, not more.i than 500 feet apart, said hydrants to supply all water necessary in case of fire. The'city ip to select the points, along the lini of the mains, where these hydrant? are xo oe esuiDiisncd. Additional ; y .. n s are to bo erected as required for i y at a cost of 03 pev anuuia for the first tea additional hydrants; $55 per annum for the next ten and $50 for each addi tional ten. The city secures the right, at its own cost and expense, to build and e;:tc-nd the street mains in any direction and to erect thereon fire hydrants, gates, valves, fcc, the contractors to supply water there free of charge,but the ownership of the mains, hydrants, fcc, to become vest ed in the contractors, they to keep them at all times in good order. The rato to prvate consumers is not to exceed five cents per day of 2 i hours for one faucet or opening to one family of five persons or less. The contractors arc to see that the streets and alleys where the mains are laid are not left disturbed by the work done in layiDg the mains, &c. The contract is to be void of benefit to the contractors if at any time they fail to furnish an adequate supply of wa ter for fire purposes for a period of six months continuously and no rent is to be claimed or paid during any temporary derangement. The contractors guarantee a pressure sufficient to throw at any time, from any five of said hydrants, through one inch nuzzle, five streams of water to an aver age height of 100 feet and they arc to pay all damages that may at any time arise to property by leaking or bursting of pipes. The city shall have the right and priv ilege to purchase, if it shall so desire, the said water .works when the same shall be completed, or at the end of each and every ten years thereafter, at a price to be ascertained and determined by the arbitration cf two disinterested experts who are not residents of North Carolina. Any failure to furnish an adequate supply of water caused by a riot, or the act of God, cr the public enemy, shall not make a forfeiture. In return the city grants exclusive water work privilege to the contractors, for purposes of maintaining, construct ing and extending in any part of the city and also to erect, repair and remove a stand-pipe at the intersection of Mar ket and Filth streets; they are to pay an nually and for and during a period of thirty years from and after the comple tion of the said water works as a rental for the use of the said 75 fire-hydrants for fire purposes, the yearly sum of 5,250, to be paid in twelve equal monthly instalments of 37.50 each upon the first day of each month daring said period. The city is to have free use of water at the City Hall and at all engine and hose houses, and for flushing the fire hydrants ; also twice a week for fifteen minutes at a time the use of the fire hydrants on Front and Market streets, and for such "free"' use the stocks, lands and property of the Company are in effect to be exempt from taxation. An assignment of interest or a change of organization is not to affect the contract. The agreement is for thirty years af ter the completion of the water works. The contract was approved and signed and formally ratified. Habit, if not necessity, makes a Hair Dressing such as Dr. Ayer's laboratory issues indispensable to many.
