We understand that Mr. Boney, the Postmaster at Wallace, in Duplin county, has been removed from that highly lucrative position (worth about $100 a year) because he refused to pay an assessment levied upon him lor campaign funds. It is thought that this action will cost Canaday a hundred votes among the colored men in that neighborhood. Mr. Boney has bcen r Postmaster at that point for'sercnteea years. r VOL. VI. WILMINGTON. N. C. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 1. 1882. NO. 260. Our Commercial Importance.) .-We know that every reader of the Review, and especially every one who resides In Wilmington, feels a deep in terest in all that relates to her commer cial, financial and social welfare, and. bene?, It is a pleasure for us to place before our citizens such information as may come to our knowledge which re flects credit upon our enterprise, ener ary and commercial importance. To aid us In this endeavor we , have had occasion heretofore to draw from the carefully complied statistics of tho de partments at Washington as being the most authentic as well as conve nient means of furnishing correcte and authoritative, knowledge to ourpoople. These compilations do no!, as a rule, come , into the bands of tho general reader, and they contain much which, though 1 valuable and absolutely necessary in. tho affairs of public and official life, would possess no interest whatever to nine-tenths of the population. It becomes then, the j duty of the public press to glean from - the mass of matter such portions as will be of interest or importance to the reneral nubltc. and that is a duly wo shall attempt to pcriorm this morning It has been often said by the ' croak ers" that there was no lifo or energy among the business men of Wilming ton that they were sitting eupmely down, content to gather up the crumbs which might fall from the bountiful table of trade and commerce and that through their own lack of energy, enter prise, olnek and vim the trade which ought to come here was being diverted to other channels for the benefit of other commercial centres, and at the expense of our own city. We know that this is not a correct statement of the case. We know,the"croakersy to the contrary notwithstanding, that the mercantile interests of our city arc being extended in every direction ; that new channels ot trade are being constantly sought and obtained; that our merchants are becoming daily more Intimate with the outside world and with the Inducements they are enabled to offer they are se curing a lanre amount of the traf&o which has in years past been secured by other trading centres. It may not bo generaly known, but it is nevertheless true, that the city of Wilmington is the eighth port of entry on the Atlantic coast in the aggregate amount of its annual imports and ox ports. This is true," as shown by tho official records Wo have before us the "Quarterly Report ot the Chief of the Bureau of. Statistics" of the Treas- urv DeDartment. at Washington, u. C, for tho fiscal year ended June 30, 1882, and from this "Report"! we gather tho fact which wc have stated. We give the seven cities whose commercial importance is greater than jour own in their relative order. They are: New York. Boston and Charleston combined. Philadelphia. Baltimore, Savannah, Charleston, and Norfolk and Portsmouth combined. It is unneces sary for our purpose to givo the amount of imports and exports with which these cities are credited. 'In either city they arc greater than Wilmiugten. but our own city comes next In the list, with the following credits for the time specified: j 1 1 Value of imports ,..,'$ 89.7 Value of exports I 5.793,188 m Total value of imports and i exports r..... $6,082,235 We were surprised when we read the above figures, showing our commercial importance, and, to use an impressive bpt somewhat paradoxical expression, were agreeably disappointed. Tho above statement is for . the Atlan tic Coast only. On 'the Gulf Coast there are two cities, New Orleans and Galveston, whoso commerce shows larger than ours. On the Pacific coast there are also two. San Francisco and Willamette, Oregon, which excel us and on the Lake Shore, Huron, Michigan, is ahead of us. By this it is seen that in point of com mercial importance we stand as the thirteenth in the entire list of ports of entry of the United States, of which there arc ninety-seven in all. This we consider an excellent showing for a city with a population of barely 20.000. Personal. Mr. A. V. Wood, of Brunswick, Ga., who is hero now on a visit, is conduct ing a prosperous naval stores business in Brunswick, Ga. He has with him in his office three other Wilmingtonians, his brother, Mr. R. B. y,ood. Jr., and Messrs J. J. Conoley and E.S. Coney. These gentlemen, in connection with Mr. Jesse Wilder,' also formerly of this city, form quite a little colony in tbeir adopted home. " " .1 . . '! - "... The Eleventh Fox. The Wilmington Fox Club had a fine hant this morning. There were quite a number out. The fox was start- ad near Wrightsville Sound and was run about Si miles before he was caught. He finally took to a tree and a colored man was cent up to bring him down, which ho succeeded in doing but not be fore Reynard bad fastened his teeth in his wrist. The animal was secured alive and brought to the city. He will be taken out to the woods in a few days and turned loose for another hunt. This makes the eleventh fox caught hy the club this season. District Court. The U. S. District Court convened regularly for business in this city yes terday. His Honor, Judge Seymour, on the bench. The following persons were drawn as a'graud jury : R. L. Butler, Foreman; C. H.Thomas. W. T. Dag gett. J. J. Hedrick, Isaac Gore, R J. Jones, J. E. St. George. Jacob Elsbach, R. D. Burnett, W. H. Shaw, J. P. Green, Joshua Mcares, Jas. Al dennan. E. R. Taylor, W. L Jacobs, J. M. King. A. B. Lind, F. A. Newber ry. John A. Hargrave. 3ut little of business was transacted during the day. The case against W. C. Mooncy was dia missed and in those against A. D. Powell and Wilson Wi -liams and R. R. Taylor act fas were en tered and judgment waa rendered according to sci fas. Tho Hewlett Men. The Hewlett men had a grand turn out last night at the head of the old market site. Tar barrels burned, a band played and hundreds of the faith ful were seen on the grounds. It was a strong turnout and indicated more strength than wc had any idea the fac tion possessed, although we knew that they had been gaining ground rapidly of late. It really looked like business last hight. We really had not the pleasure of the acquaintance of all of the gentlemen who spoke, but we do know that Mr. Hewlett led off, declaring himself a candidate for Sheriff, and givin? Man ning fits. He was followed by E. F. Martin, tho great colored railroad king, who announced that he was an inde pendent candidate for the Legislature, and that he proposed to go to Raleigh for the express purpose ot furthering the completion of the gigantic monopo ly represented by him. Martin was followed by a colored gentleman from Boston by the aristocratic and eupho neous name of Gones, and Mr. Goncs was followed by several others, whose names, as well as their speeches, we failed to hear.

Opera House La 'Mascotte. v . ; One of the largest audiences wc have ever seen in the Opera House assem bled last evening to welcome-Mr. Cba3. f E. Ford's excellent company. I ne t troupe appeared in La Miotic, An- drau a musL celebrated comic oiera m.u rK-..,., ni Miss Blanche Chapman, who wad al- ;U .i ' tVtlminirtrkn j t m i nihil ui iii0.vm auuiencc enacted toe role oi the Jfa-s- cottc nd acouiUed berjjclf as is her wont. ShcsUli retain her rich so- a . 1 prano voice , and nas it under goon control. Her Ma-icottc was excelleu t. and her actinsr in the "Gobble Duet" with Pippo, was as fine as is usually seen. Mr. Drew's 'Pippo was excel lent, and hi3 rich voice harmonized beautifully with Miss Chapman's. Old George Dcnham holds his own woivicr fully well and is justly elassed among the leading low 1 comedians ot the American stage. Miss Louise Eisshig's Fiamelta was excellent, and though a stranger- to a Wilmington audience, Miss Eis3ing succeeded last even' ing m thoroughly ingratiating her self into the favor of our people. Mr, Lang's Frederick was very acceptable. The choruses were very fine and in fact tho troupe and performance is in every respect first-class. Mr. Ford, the elder, has always taken a pride in send ing out nothing. but good troupes and Mr. Chas. E. Ford has followed the ex ample set by his- father. To-night the company will appear in the "Merry War" and we advise all of our people who wish to listen to fine music, see good acting and have a hearty laugh to be ia attendance. Tho Election Law, - The following communication from Col. B. R. Moorer County Attorney, to Gen. 8, II. Manning, Chairman of the Republican Executive Committee, will sufficiently explain itself and will, we trust, set at rest the question which has been raised as to the deposit by the voter of his ballot in the ballot box : Wilmington, N. ci, Oct. 31st, 1882. Gen. S. B. Manning, chairman Repub lican Executive Committee of New Hanover County: Dear Sir: In reply to your com munication asking answers to three questions as to the manner of conduct ing an election under the existing laws of North Carolina, I 'have the honor to say as follows, respecting your ques tions and giving my replies thereto seriatim i 1st. "Does the voter place his ballot in the box, or does he hand it to the poll-holders to be by them deposited in the proper box?" , 1 In reply to this question I have only to quote the words of the statute, chap . 275. section 16, Laws of 1876-T7, "and eacn voter whose name may appear registered, and who shall not be chal lenged and rejected, 6hall band in his vote to the judges who shall carelully deposit the ballots in tho ballot boxes. 2nd. "Has the voter the right to vote a folded or secret ballot?" In reply to this question, I can only say that the act of Assembly evidently intended that the voter might, if he de sired, vote a folded or secret ballot. 3rd. "In case a ballot shall be placed in the wrong boxj shall it be counted?" In reply to this question I answer that such ballots should not be counted. If they were counted,' the result would be tantamount to a system of cumu lative suffrage, and would open the door to the perpetration of fraud. This can easily be shown by a sup. posed case. . In the approaching elec tion there will be provided six boxes tor the deposit of the ballot. Suppose a voter goes to the polls with six folded ballots in his hand, and gives them, one ataa time, to the judges, to bo by them deposited in the proper boxes, designa ting the box in which each ballot shall be deposited, and theso ballots shall all be deposited, one in each of the boxes. Each one of these ballots may be for a candidate for the office of Sheriff, and if they should all be counted irre spective of the boxes in which they are found, the candidate will receive six votes where he would be entitled to only one. ' In addition to this I may add that there are three other classes of ballots which are likewise to be thrown out and not counted. Chapter 275J sec 20, laws of lSTB-TT, provides that it there shall be two or more tickets rolled up together or any ticket shall contain tbe names of more persons than such elec tor has a right to vote for, or shall have a device upon it, in eithor of these cases such ticket shall not be numbered in taking the ballots, but shall bo void." - It is needless to add that any poll holder who wilfully deposits a ballot in tho wrong box commits a punishable fraud andVihould be prosecuted therefor, without favor. Hopb2tl:2tItTO.rcrlitd to year questions Recording to the spirit , as well the letter oi the statutes, I am, very respectfully,: i - Your obedient servant, T B. R. Moore, County Attorney.
