We agree with" the sentiment expressed in the resolutions of the Democratic Ex ecutire Committee of the city published in the Star this morning, atid we think with the Committee, that displacing snch good and efficient men and Demo crats a3 Messrs. W. D. Mahn and Jno. S. McEacheru of the First and Fifth Wards from the Board of Audit and Finance, is to be fcincersly deplored, no matter who their successors may have been. These gentlemen have given en. tire satisfaction to those whom they repre 8ent,aml have performed their duties well and faithfully as far as the public know. We cannot understand therefore why they should have been removed, any more than wc can unnerstand why Mr, F. H. Darby, Chairman of the Demo cratic City Executive Committee and Mr. Jas. W. King, Secretary of the same, should withhold from publication the resolutions of this Committee supposed to have been drafted on the 6th ins t. and furnish them to tho Star a the 7th for publication on the 8th inst., (two days after the meeting of the Committee), when another Democratic paper calledthe Daily Review, which is widely known for its uncompromisinq Democratic 'principles as well as for its outspoken sentinents on all questions ef public pol ity, and especially where the interests of this city are concerned, was published in the afternoon of the . very day upon which these resolutions were furnished the Star for publication. 3arr&w Escape From Death by As phyxia. On Wednesday last Messrs. H. C. Smith and M. B. Smith, father and son, from Columbus county, registered at the Purcell, and retired about the usual hour, blowing out the gas before getting in bed. Yesterday morning about 9 o'clock the chambermaid went to the room occu pied by the Messrs. Smith, but thinking they didn't wish to be disturbed went to other rooms in the house and attended to her duties. About 4 o'clock yes terday afternoon she went back to the room and detected a smell of gas. She called assistance and had the door forced open. Tho father and son were found prostrated in separate beds aid life was appareatly extinct. Dr. Thos. F. Wood was sent for and administered restoratives and after considerable trouble succeeded in recussitating them. When the physician arrived, respiration in the almost dead men was very feeble Mr. H. C. bmith, the father, was first to regain conscimsnes3, though ho suffered greatly from the effects of the gas poison afterwards. Mr. M. B. Smith, in con versation, after ho had been snatched from the jaws of death, stated that be fore he lost his consciousness he was aware of what was the cause of the op pression which he suffered, but was pow erless to use any exertion to prevent his impending doom. The Messrs. Smith were both aware of what effect tho gas would have oa them, but thoughtlessly and through, force of habit, blow out the light. It is a miracle that both were not dead when the door was forced open in the afternoon. There was no transom over the door or fire-place through which the gas could escape, and the window in the room was lowered. " . Mustard Plaster. An old and eminent physician says How many people are there who really know how to make a mustard plaster? Not one in a hundred, at the mo3t, per haps, and yet mustard plasters are used in every family. The ordinary way is to mix the mustard with water, tempering it with a little flour; but such a plaster as that is simply abominable. Before it has half done its work, it begins to blis ter the patient, and leaves him finally with a painrul, flayed spot, after having produced far less effect in a beneficial way than was intended. Now, a mus tard plaster should never make a blister at all. If a blister is wanted, there are other plasters far better than mustard for the purpose. When you make a mustard plaster, then, use no water whatever, but mix the mustard with the white of an)egg,and the result will "draw' perfectly, )ut will not produce a blister even upon the skin of an infant, no mat ter how long it is allowed to remain upon the part.

Sorth Carolina Soldiers. (Ei tract from a letter from President ba viato Col. John R. Winston.) Bxicvoib, Harrison Co., Miss. "I am very glad to know that you are preparing a history of the military ser vice of the North Carolina troops. I do not thins they have generally received their due meed of praise. Without making invidious comDariaon it mav be said of them, that few -great battles were foaght and fewer victories won to which North Carolina valor did not ma terially contribute. I trust that your as sociates in arm3 will freely and fully give you those minor details which cannot be found in official reports, but which best illustrate the deeds , and men we should giro as exasaaiea.ta future generations. Respectfully, Yours, ' V. . . -'"'" v Jeftkeson . Datis. ) The above we clip ,from the Farmer Sr 3fechanic of Thursday. We desire to "call the attention of North Carolina soldiers, resident in this city, to the esteem" and respect with which the soldiers of this State were held by ex-President1 Davis, and to ask of them if it is not a pity that the data of a war record, at once so'ntble and patriotic, shoul l perish and be lost to their posterity ? The last Legislature of North Carolina appointed Major Jno. W. Moore to the task of writing the his tory of North Carolina troops. Will not ur friends then who served in the war, for the sake of their children and the truth of history, furnish what data they have or can command,' in duplicates, to Maj. Moore, at Raleigh, and Col. Wins ton at Greensboro ? . The latter named gentleman has made the daty of writing the history of North Carolina soldiers, a self-imposed task, and eight therefore to be encouraged in his noble effort Bat do not neglect at tho same time, to fur nish Major Moore with all the historical facts which you have or can gather. What Is the Meaning of This? We make the following extract from a Fayette vills telegram to the Rich mond, Va.x Dispatch, which was pub lished ia yesterday's issue of the above named paper: ? Fayettbtillb, N. 0., April 6. At a conference of the directors of the Cape Jj'ear and xadkin valley railway and Jj'ayettevilie and Jflerence railroad held here to-day the two roads were consoli dated the Fayette villo and Florence transferring all rights to the other com piny, subject to tho approval of the stockholders of both companies, which will undoubtedly be given. Mortgage bonds to the amount ot $180,000 will be issued, and in thirty days work will be gin on the extension of tho Florence road to Florence, where it will connect' with roads to Columbia, Charleston, and tho whole southern country. It is also hoped that eventually the present Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley road will find a northern connection which will make it a great through freight and passeager route. The completion of the Florence road will open np a new and desirable trade for Fayetteville, making it a great trade centre for the Yadkin Valley, Cape Fear, and Pee Doe sections. Hosting of the Democratic CHj Ex ecutive Committee At a meeting of the Democratic City Executive Committee, held on Wednes day, the 6th inst., the following resolu tions were unanimously adopted : Mesolved, That this committee has learned with regret that His Excellency, Governor Jarvis, has seen fit, without consulting the Democratic voters in the First and Fifth Wards, and without ac cording to this committee the right to have the seitiments of the said wards in that regard expressed, to displace from their positions as members of the Board of Audit and Finance, Messrs. W. D. Mahn, of the First Ward, and John S. McEachern, of the Fifth Ward. Resolved further. That this commit tee, after consulting Democratic voters of the different wards, were of the opin ion that it was in accordance with the wishes of a large majority of the Demo crats in all the wards that the Board of Audit and Finance should remain as constituted before the 1st of March ult., excepting such changes as migh be neces sary to nil vacancies, and hence this com mittee did not embody in the lecent call for primary meetings the request to name members of the Board of Audit and Finance, and that the Democrats in the First and Fifth Wards especially refus ed in their sovereign capacity, in those primary meetings to make or request any change in their representatives on the said board, and therefore we feel called upon to say. that we consider the action of the Governor ill-advised (no matter from'wbat source the advice emanated) and his discrimination in making changes in the First and Fifth Wards only, un necessary and calculated to produce that dissatisfaction and disaffection which this committee has ever labored to dis courage and destroy by insisting that in all matters under its charge the will of the Democratic voters should have the fullest and freest expression. Resolved, That Messrs W. D. Maha and J. S. McEachera having faithfully tad efScisatly discharged th) duties acd 1881. NO. 35 responsibilities of their ooaitinn nd having ably represented the i nterests of tneir respective wards on the said board, this committee, feels called upon, and aoes nereoy tender to them the thanks of the Democratic citizens of Wilming ton and of this committee. Resolved, That in passing these reso lutions, it is not the intent or meaning of this committee to in any way reflect upon the gentleriu who have been ap pointed by the rernor to represent the First and Fifth Wards, as we are well satisfied that thev will make officiala faithful and perfectly satisfactory to their respective wares, out the purpose of these resolutions is simply to express our senti ments, and those we believe f tho citi. zens at larxre. that the disnlacement nf aiessrs. Aiana.and McrJachern was un - - ir necessary, ill-advised, and without reason or excuse. .... - F. H. Darbt, Chairman: Jas. W. JCixo. Secretary.
