Hewitt for speaker of the next House of Representatives. The great question lor the Forty eighth Congress will likely be the tariff. The internal revenue is already doomed. The vigorous assaults upon it by the democrats all over the country and the oreat victories -in the recent elections will give to our party the prestige of its destruction whether the result shall be to drive the republicans in the present Congress to abolish it or whether it be led to its inevitable doom in , the next Congress. A complete revision of the tariff, however, is hardly possible with in thVremaining short sessipr. of the Forty seventh Congress, with its other necessary work. So the important problem lor the Forty-eighth Congress, from present appearances, will be tariff revision, and upon its solution will probably hang the fate ot the demo cratic party in 1884, Col. (I reen's letter is short and we- publish it herewith in full : ' Your inquiry concerning my prefer ence for Speaker of the Forty-eighth Congress strikes me as rather prema ture.

I would do nothing to militate against Democratic success in the Presidential contest of 138-1. which, without some egregious blunder on our own part, at present seems assured. That, lo mythinking,1 is me desideratum of destderata. As to party policy in the next Con gress I miitht for like reason exercise like caution aud leave it to the future. I think I hazard nothing in saying, however, that the one dominant idea should be reduction1' reduction of expenditure, of taxation, nf revenue, of sinecures and other new fledged abuses.

Notwithstanding what has been said by the State press regard mg the several beautiful cities and towns in Norlli Carolina, we very miich doubt if there i3 one within the bortfers of the Com monwealth that can boast so many real lovely attractions as our own city of Wilmington. In saying this much we do not intend to detract one particle from the many beauties of other places for we know that there are many places possessing real loveliness, especially at this season ot the year, when all Na tu re is robed in beauty. City. Court. Dorcas Frank and Mary Wiliams, both colored, and judging from their own statements, two of the most disrep tuble of tKe denizens "ot Taddy's Hol low, were brought before Mayor Hall this morning charged with disorderly conduct, - which being interpreted by tho evidence, means that one was drunk and the other drunker and fight ing. In the case of Dorcas a fine of $3 was imposed or 20 days in' the city prison, while Mary was fined $5, with the alternative of 30 days in the city prison. They both went below. Another Picnic. Wc hear it whispered that there is to be another picnic in the vicinity of Bur gaw in the course of a few weeks which, it is expected, will be a grand affair. That held at Burdeaux' mill on the 31st ult. was such a decided success and was so highly appreciated t hat another seems to be demanded. The next will prob ably be held in the immediate vicinity oi Burgaw, so that those who wish to attend by means ot the railroad will have no trouble in getting to the "rounds from the train. We have no doubt that it will be.a good one. when it does come off, tor the people of Pen der folly understand how to get up and manage-such festive- occasions. '? We are going to try to bo tliar."

There are quite a number of cases of sickness in the city which have been superinduced by imprudent indulgence in the luxury of fresh fruits and vege tables. None.of the cases, however, are considered serious, but people can not be two careful about what they eat at this season of the year, and especially should great caution be used in lecding children, whose stomachs are not able to properly digest food..' Fruits, berries and vegetables are undoubtedly healthy and, we think, necessary at this season oi theyear, but tbey should be given at first in small quantities in order that the stomach may not be taxed too much. - Portraits from locket "to life size.

G. & A. freight depot this morning we noticed seyen platform cars loaded with jumper telegraph poles for the Western Union Telegraph Co. Tfaey were cut on the hue of the Raleigh & Augusta railroad, about 25 miles : beyond Hamlet, and were brought down last night. We were informed by Mr. W. J. Kirkham, superintendent of the wires on the W. & W. Railroad, that these poles were the first installment of about 3,000 which are to be placed on the line between here and Goldsboro, and that another train loaded with poles wonld arrive here to night. It takes 30 poles to a mile, and the distance between here and Goldsboro being 84 miles, there will be (to be accurate in the matter) need for 2,520 poles- Those we saw were good, substantial looking slicks, and they are. we were informed, about an average of the entire lot. Jt is reported that .when the line is supplied with these new poles a couple of additional wires will be pnt on the line for the speed j and efficient performance of the work of the com pany. , s .-, ; j, ; , - M '; ; I The celebrated , 'Fish Brand '(Sills Twine is sold only at JacocPs Hard ware Depot. ; v - .";'" - AFijrlit.

We have been shown "a list of the sut-1 scribers to the fund contributed lor the purchase of the property known as the "BishopV residence," ori Orange street, between Fifth and Sixth, in which the lamented Bishop Atkinson lived so long, and in which he died. The prop erty was purchased of the late James S. Green, and cost, with some improve ments, $a,9JK).lK). There were 103 sub scribers to the fund, and these all, ex cept six, .were parishioners of Sf JamesV Church, the only Episcopal Parish at that time existing in Wil mington and these six subscribed a total of $170. The purchase was made in the Summer of 1855 and before the eud of the year the entire property . had been paid for. There were five of the subscribers who gave $500 each, twelve who gave $250 each, one who save $200, and eighteen gave $100 each. Of the original number of subscribers it is sad to think that but about one-third are now alive. Lilst of betters.
