From Col. Brink. Editor Review. Bear Sir: The second article on the Wilmington Postoffice calls for further correction. The following card from the young man who left the office is rather crush ing on "ery good authority." Wilmington, N. C, Sept. 19ib, '84. Editor Review. Sir; I am tho young man alluded to in Your article on Wilmington Post office in Review of last evening. I desire to say that during my term of service in the Wilmington Postoffice I never paid a dollar for political pur poses and that I never wa3 assessed or requested to pay m that interest. Respectfully. &c. John Kennedy. Now. a littlo correct information as to the njimber and class of postoffices in the United States, with the number having allowances for clerical force, Trill show a less number by oyer forty eight thousand than you claim, between which to divide a sufficiency : Postoffices in the U. S . .50.351 Offices'of 1st class 81 Offices of 2nd class 40 1 Offices of 3rd class 1.833 Offices of 4th class 48 .028-50351 Of these fifty thousand three hundred and fifty-one offices forty-eight thousand and twenty-eight have no allowance for clerk hire, and the eighteen hundred and thirty-eisht of the third clss3 have very little. Respectfully, E. R. Brink, P. M. And this is our reply : Wilmington, N. C. Sept. 19, 1884. Wa hereby certify that a few days since we beard Mr. John Kennedy say tbat he bad been assessed for campaign pur poses, and that there was no use in de nying it, adding that be thought it no mora than right that a man who held a good office should be assessed in such cases to help retain it. -E. G. Blaie, D. S. Weeks, E. G. Yofp. Poinpoy Sneed In Court. The first act of the serio-comic drama entitled, "The Stale vs. Pompey Sneed, colored," was rehearsed at the Court House this morning to an audience which crowded the room to its utmost capacity. At about 9 o'clock the throng, principally colored, of both sexes; began to assemble, some to get a sight of Pompey. and others to be in season to secure a good seat (?) when the case should be called. By 10 o'clock, the hour appointed lor the hearing of the case, the sidewalk in front of the Court House was crowded with the anxious ones, who vrere watching for the noted Sneed to appear. The latter wis brought from the jail at a few minutes after 10 o'clock and taken down to the Court House and into the Sheriff's office, where ho was detained for a few min utes. Thence he was taken to the Court room, where the crowd had already assembled. Justice J. C. Hill came in at once and took his seat, and in few moments read the warrant upon which the ac cused was to be tried, which charged Pompey with "highway robbery in breaking into the shop of Dave Hall, colored." and taking therefrom a clock, a watch and some money, and asked the accused if he was ready for the trial, to which the latter replied in the affirm ative. The witnesses for the State were then called and sworn. David Richardson, colored, the first witness, said that he lived in the city. Knew Pompey Sneed and identified the accused as that person. On the night in question was sitting down near Dave Hall's shop. Does'nt know what hour of the night it was, but it was on a Sat urday isight. The prisoner came by where he was sitting with a clock in his hands. Prisoner kept right on at a brisk walk. Tn a few moments heard Dave Hall give the alarm about losing his watch and clock, and shouted for Pompey to bring them back, . but the latter kept on at a brisk run. Witness, in company with Emanuel; Merrick, colored, started at once in pursuit of prisoner, following the street the latter had taken, while some one else went another street to try and head prisoner off. Tho latter eluded them. Dave Hall, colored, said: I ,was working in my shop mending shoes when Pompey and two other colored men came in and, Pompey sat down for awhile ou a bench. Was fixing shoes and in a few minutes the two men be gan to make a noise and the witness looked up and Pompey was gone. Started once lor tie other room and got" there just as Pompey went out of the door with the clock in his hands. Wit ness said that Tom Wagner told him that he bad seen Pompey with the wafch. This witness i3 a one-legged shoe maker and is very deaf and his testi mony was an incoherent mess, which we have tried to give as faithfully and correctly as possible, and know that we have gfven it substantially as he gave it to the Court. Tom Wagner, colored, called, but failed to answer. Laban Smith, colored, said that he knew nothing about the case. ThU closed the case for the State and the defendant had no testimony to offer nor did he interrogate the State's wit nesses when the opportunity was given him. Justice Hill then said that the tesi mony was such as to warrant him in requiring of the defendant a justified bond in the sum of $500 for his appear ance at the next term of the Criminal Court. case no. 2. The same defendant wa3 then ar. raigned on a charge of larceny, but on account of the absence of two important witnesses for the prosecution, the hear ing of the case was postponed until 10 o'clock a m. on Friday, the 26th inst. case no. 3. Although the two foregoing cases re lieved Pompey of further present action so far as Justice Hid wa3 concerned, he was not yet out of the magisterial wil derness for no sooner had these cases been disposed of than Justice J. C. Millis appeared with a warrant charg ing Pompey Sneed with an assault and battery with a deadly weapon. This case, like that immediately preceding it. was postponed until 10 o'clock a. m. on Friday next on account of the ab sence of important witnesses- for the State. This ended the proceedings in his case for the day and Pompey was re manded to jail to await a further hear ing on Fridiy next. We have been repeatedly asked, dur ing the last few weeks, what Pompey Sneed was outlawed for? What has he done?" and many kindred questions, to which we have been compelled in variably to answer that we did not know. Nor are we able to giye a better answer since the proceedings of this morning. It is possible that be com mitted a highway robbery by stealing a watch and clock out of a man's house, but such a sort of hiyhivay robbery would hardly be considered a capital offense; he may have committed the larceny of which ho stands charged, and he may have beat a man severely with a weapon by which death might have been inflicted; but it seems to us that neither of these offenses, nor all of them combinedr- h even provent of such heinous enormity as to justify his being an outlaw and liable to be shot down at any time and by anybody He is without doubt a bad man and we are glad that he has been captured and in a fair way of having his guilt or in nocence established. It is better for him ; it is better for the community and it is much better for the ends ef justice that he should be under the" keys and bolts of the jail, so that when he is wanted he may be forthcoming and brought to trial, instead of being hunt ed and hounded as he has been for the past four or five weeks. Topsail Quarterly Conference. The third Quarterly Conference of the Topsail Circuit of the Methodist E. church convene, according to previous notice, at "Prospect Church, in New Hanover Co., on Wednesday. The Presiding Elder of the Wilmington District.iRev.. W II. Bobbitt, presided, and Dr. S. S. Satchwell was elected Secretary. The usual routine of busi ness was transacted. The reports, com ing in from the stewards, and that also made by the pastor of the various churches in the circuit, Rey. J. C. Crisp, showed a very favorable and encouraging spiritual, as well as finan cial, condition of the churches. Lay men have taken a new departure in Christian duty, and are laying hold of Christian work as never before, and in this way they are sustaining and co! operating with, the pastor in Sabbath Schools, prayer meetings, and other spiritual service - - Education received a new impetus at the hands of this Conference. A writ ten communication was received from the trustees arid owners of Rocky Point Academy, offering the Academy property at Rocky Point to the Confer ence, free of charge, for educational purposes. The offer was accepted, and the Conference resolved to establish a high school in the eligible Academy building at that place. To this end the following gentlemen were appointed to receive the property in trust, and to start and manage, for the circuit, a high school, viz: Messrs. F. II. Bell, John E. Durham, Dr. J. C. Shephard, J. T.B. Averitt and Dr. S. S. Satcb. well. The Board of Managers will en gage tho services of a competent teach er, as principal, and the institution will be in operation at an early day.
