The number of conflagrations through
out the country during the past month
it estimated at 183, destroying property
amounting to $10,500,000. The total
for the j'car is set down at the enormous
total of $90,250,000. In these returns
Canada is included.
. During 1831 no fewer than 18,070 hu
man beings were killed by snakes, .Mid
3,759 by "wild animals," in India;
: while 43,600 head of cattle were in like
manner destroyed. As a set-off to this
terrible loss we learn that 251.9f3
snakes and 15,274 "wild animals" were
dcstro3cd, and upward of 10.000 paid
by the Indian government for their des
truction.
Our clever neighbor, the Petersburg
Index-Appeal, thinks that the North
Carolina Legislature "will prove the
xaost industrious, patriotic' and intelli
ssmt body that has occupied the capitol
for many years." If our friend afth

afraid to take a firm hold of it and
equally afraid to let go, ho might be
induced to modify his ' opinion some

141 owed $1,309,750; in 1852 she owed
$2,801,973; this sum was reduced to
$2,670,750 in 1860; in 1870. the debt
tood at $6,544,500. but it was rapidly
increased until it. stood on paper at
$20,197,500. When the true amount of
the debt was ascertained, and when the
process of payment had, been begun,
the debt was reduced to $10,335,000;
and the bonds of the State are cow in
demand at . premiums ranging from
even to twenty per cent.
The "Giant Powder Works" neal

and- twenty two Chinamen. Beside
these fatal results there are several
Chinaamen severely wounded. At
last reports the magazines, in which
there were eight tons of powder, were
uninjured, but as the place was in
flames there was much fear that those
also would be destroyed. The scene Ji
described as one ot of desolation and
death.

WILMINGTON. Ni C.. TUESDAY. JANUARY
I So Klectlon. .
It is now positively decided that no
election will bo ordered to fiUlbe va
cancy made by the death of Hon. John
W. Shackelford. - The legal require
meats are such that, when they
had all been fulfilled, Mr. Shack
elford's successor would be unable to
present his credentials until about the
first day of March, three or four days
before the final adjournment jof the
Forty-serenth Congress If the. Goy
ornorhad issued his proclamation to
day, calling for an election -within thir
ty days, that would have made the
election fall on Thursday, February
?2d. The returns would then have to
be received, two days being necessary
for that purpose, and then the Board
of Canvassers would have to meet and
report, and all of this would take at
least a week. j - ;
This is in concession to an opinion.
which seems to be general, that all that
is necessary to provide for an election
is the issuance of a "writ by tho Gov
ernor. In this there is a'grave mistake.
According, to the election lans
(Sec. 9), tho judges and inspectors of
an election must be appointed "on or
before-ihe first Monday of the month
next preceding the 'month in which
each election is held," and, . according
to this, for an election to be held ;ih
February, tho -judges and inspectors
must have been appointed not later
than the first Monday in January,
which, in this instance, was the first
day of the month. -ri
Section 50 of the Election Laws pro
vides that if at any time after any
election, there shall be-a, vacancy in
the representation . in Congress, the
Governor shall 'issue a writ ot elec
tion, and by proclamation," &c.
rBut as Sec. 43 provides that "every
election hald in pursuance, of a writ
from the Governor shall be conducted
in like manner as tho regular bienniel
elections, so far as the particular case
can be governed by the general rules,"
it may be that authority la; thus vested
in the liovernor to call the election ir
respective oHho regulations prescribed
as to appointment of registrars and
poll-holders. If bo, we cannot see why
it is necessary that thirty days should
issue between the call and the election,
i - - -
other than the fact of giving the people
the necessary notification of the fact
I
that they are to vote for some man who
would have barely time to hang up his
hat injthe capitol before he would have
to take it down again.
But the Legislature decided yesterday
(and very wisely, too,) that there should
be no election to fill this vacancy and
consequently there will be no election.
We have merely followed out this
rimbling article to its e'ose because we
have felt interested in the! subject and
hope, too, to interest our readers. Tho
election laws for this State are very!
good reading matter for all who feef'nn
interest in the subject (and: what man
is there amongms who .does ".not P) and
so far as our observation has .extended
they soem to cover all requirements
. j ,- -
"Mrs Partington, what do you use
for a very bad coldP" asked Mrs Dull
"Handkerchiefs, ma'am," answered
the aged dame, looking ewer her- spec
tacles. Handkerchiefs are a desidera
tum in the event of a cold, but a bottle
of Dr.Bull's Cough Syrupis a necessity,
because it not only receives, bnt cures
the worst cold or cough.
Baker and Farron,
The celebrated Dutch .comedians, ap
pear at the Opera House on next Mon
day evening. The Cincinnati Enquirer
says; - ."
Yesterday afternoon and evening the
receipts at, the' Grand Opera House
went over the $9,500 j notch ; and the
trio who share in tho same Messrs
Miles, Baker fc Farron felt entirely
satisfied with such a Christmas present
from their Cincinnati friends. The oc
casion Xor this vast assemblage was
the first appearance this season of the
favorite comedians, Baker & Farron,
in their original drama of Chris qnd
Lena, which has always been laforablv
received whenever presented by them
in our city. The play has been changid
some lor tne oeucr. since xa&t pea son.
and, while not alarmingly strong in
plot or literary merit, mak;es a good
frame-work for the introduction ol the
specialties of the stars. As Chris Mr.
Baker, aside from beingvery amusing,
pleases all with his songs , and
dances, and in the last act his
likeness to Joe Eramett is very
striking, tfe kept the -large audi
ence in a continual smile whenever be
occupied the stage. Mr. Farron V re
ception was a most generous one, the
boys bcinz determined to show him
that they had not forgotten their old
friend, 2Yi Flaherty He is as good as
ever.as the jlly, fun-loving Irishman,
and as the German girl. Lena. The
change in make up and dialect is so
great that many of the audience could
not believe that the good-looking girl
was the Tim of the preceding act. II is
Irish song of Fitzpatriek was received
with unbounded applause. The sup
port is much - better than that of Iat
season. Miss Crocker beinff very ac
ceptable as Xvc7&nd Mrs. W. Q. Jones,
as tho lawyer? wife wm rery good.

Adjutant General Jones left here
yesterday morning for Raleigh and will
be m attendance at the Convention to
day.' It was his onion k as well as the
opinion of Inspector General Cameron t
from the information they had received
that the Convention would, prove a sue
cess and that the -object for which it
was called would, be attained. Repre
sentativea from nearly every military
organization in the State are expected
to be present, and as the j object of the
gatnenng is : luily understood a pro
longed session is not anticipated.
To-night there will be a Grand Mili
tary: Ball which; will undoubtedly be
attended by a largo portion of the mili
tary visitors from' outside of Raleigh,
and a good time may reasonably be ex
pected. -
There seem 8 to be an abundance of
wood in the market, but the price don't
tumble at all The reason of this we
presume is that the cold weather makes
the demand equal" to the supply. ...
