The appointment of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.. to a seat on the Supreme Bench of Massachusetts receives gen eral commendation.

Dr. Columbus Mills, a well-known resident of the Charlotte section, died last Sunday evening. lie was princi pally known throughout the State in connection with the Patrons of Hus bandry, ot which he was at one time Grand Master. The Ixndon correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says that Her bert Spencer looks well, but protests that his bronzed look is only a tempor ary cooaequeace ot the sea voyage, and that be feels in reality the reverse of by his try. A beverage that is said to have taken the place of absinthe to a considerable extent in France has boon introduced in Xew Orleans.

The wife of Richard K. Fox. the fa tuous sporting man and the publisher of the immoral Wire (M?Ue. has brought suit against him for divorce.

The Democrats in Congress should stand square upon therr heels and toes and el u se to vote ''". the PPPnation of another dollar looking toward the increase or cxtcn sion of the pension lists. The first ; thing that should be done is to purge the list as it is now. There are tOO j many bummers and sutlers and camp followers now drawing pensions from i the U. S. Government who are no. more entitled to them than is the man in the moon. Wc have had an instance nar rated to us in this locality, that of a colored individual who so far from being wounded had hardly seen any duty whatever in the field. He enlisted with the troops here after the Fall of Wilmington and was as healthy and sound the day he left the service as the day he entered it and yet, through some political hocus-pocus, he draws a pension of $8 per month. Another in dividual, an officer who held a some what high position, having boon a Lieutenant-Colonel in the field, draws $88 a month, not, it is said, because of wounds received, but because he has the heart disease. There arc doubtless thousands upon thousands of just such instances as those we have here narrated, and until these very dirty Augean stables can be cleansed it will be improper in any honest man to vote one dollar for an extension of the claims. The present system is not only a wrong to the coun try at large but a grievous wrong to the wounded veterans as well. There is plenty of room for investigation into these oension frauds. LOCAL NEWS.'

The Library Asoeciation have sue ceeded in securing Prot. Willoughby Reade to give one of his entertainments in this city, and it will be given, as per announcement ia oar advertising coi amns, at the Library Rooms this even ing, commencing at 8 o'clock. Prof, Reade comes to us with an excellent reputation as an elocutionist, the press, wherever he has appeared, giving him their most unqualified approval and en dorsement. The entertainment will undoubtedly be a pleasant one and will repay for the brief time occupied in at tendance and the Miouey expended. Personal. Mr. Allen Curr aud wile, of Dundee, Scotland, are registered at the Purcell House. Mr. Curr is a Scotch gentle man of means who is traveling through the country, principally, we understand, for his own gratification and informa tion. He has lectured in several places in the Western part of tbeState and in South Carolina and it is understood that he will remain here a week or more during which time he will do liver a lecture under tho auspices of the Wilmington library Association. He will bo the recipient, doubtless, of numerous courtesies at the hands of our citizens. Last N ir lit 's Debate. The Literary Club of the Wilming ton Library Association held their reg ular meeting in their rooms last even ing. The query selected for the even ing's discussion was, "Did the French Revolution aid the cause of Liberty in Europe?" The disputants were Messrs. B. G. Em pie and C. H. Gerhard t, in the affirmative, and Messrs. Walter Small-1 bones and J. I. M cares in the negative, and the manner ia which the subject was discussed pro and con by the sev eral disputants, elicited much favorable comment from those who were present. Previous to opening the discussion of the query, Mr. Thomas Radclifle, by request, recited "Shamus O'Brien," an effort in which he was eminently suc cessful, and which showed that he was possessed of rare elocutionary powers. A large number of ladies were pres ent to add beauty and grace to the oc casion, and these, with the gentlemen, w'u' cw,i TT that the cftorts of the Club were being r. m appreciate!!. Death of Mr. Dodson. llev. Elias Dodson, the venerable minister of God who has been lying iu this city so ill for come days past, died this forenoon at 11:35 o'clock, at the raaidnnoe of Mr. Alex.
