The Now York Eoening Post give3 the names of sundry leading Democrats who favored his re tention. Mayor Grace, Abram Hewitt and Samuel J. Tilden are among tbe number. The oldest bank note probably in ex istence in Europe is one preserved in the Asiatic Museum at St. Petersburg. It date3 from the year 1399 B C., and was issued by the Chinese Government. It can be proved from Cbinese chronic clers ihat. as early as 2697 B. C. bank note were current in China under the name of "flying money." It has been said, in reference to the new war in Afghanistan, that Russia i .i . uas me men and England has. the money.

APRIL 10, 1885 NO 82 I i- The Farmer's Bank, in Norfolk, fol- v. ,.i . . l m . p.o. set by the Exchange Bank, has closed iU floors. Its assets and liabili ties arc not stated but it is said thai in Northeastern North Carolina alone de positors will lose $350,(100; by the sus pension nl the Exchange Bank. These figures are furnished us by a 'gentleman who ha3 recently travelled through that section ol country. Postmasler-General Vilas completed his first month in office on Wednesday During that period he commissioned 450 postmasters and prepared more than one hundred Presidential com mis sions for approval. Could be have had the assistance of the First Assistant Postmaster General, Malcom Hay, who has been ill ever since his appointment, it is probable that a much larger num ber of postmasters would have been ap pointed. Tammany, on Wednesday night last, unanimously adopted th.3 following resolutions : Unsolved, That the prompt action by the administration to protect the inter ests and tights of American citizens on the Isthumus of Panama is art evidence or tbe sincerity of the pledge made in tbe national democratic partv platform adopted at Chicago, July 10, 1884 viz, "It is an imperative duty of the govern ment to efficiently protect all the rights ot pei sons and property of eery Amer ican citizen in foreign lands" and shows that it is the intention of Presi dent Cleveland to protect the rights and property of American citizens by force of arms whenever and wherever it may b3 neccessary. Resolved, That due credit should be given to Secretary of the Navy Whitney for his efficient efforts in despatching the necessary men and materials to pre vent a recurrence of the outrages al ready committed. k The fighting in Afghanistan, spoken of by us yesterday, .was between the Russians and tbe Afghans, the British not participating in the engagement. But those whom the Russians attacked were the British allies, and this action of the Russians is tafcen as a declara tion of war on England. The Russians are evidently the aggressors, and it appears to us that the Czar is merely seeking distractions abroad from those which beset him at home. If he can coax a large number of his domestic foes, the Nihilists, into the field, proba bly he feels that he will owe a debt of gratitude to the English for doing what he cannot do himselfkilling tbem oft hand Tbe telegraph reports as folio ws in regard to the fight: London, April 9, 11 a. m. Gen. Ko niaroff, the Russian commander, at tacked the lortified positions of the Afghans, on Kushk river. Macch 30. The Afghan force, numbering four thousand men, with eight cannoo, were defeated. Their loss was five hundred men killed and wounded. All of the artillery, two standards, the entire camp equipage and provisions were captured. The Russians lost one officer killed and three subalterns wounded, besides ten soldiers killed and twenty-nine wounded. London, April 9. A dispatch to the Times, from Gubran, dated April 3rd, states that the Russians, while making a pretext of changing the position ot their outpost on the Afghan frontier, attacked Per jdeb, on March 30th, and drove the Afghans out of their position, The Afghans ttubbornly resisted their assailants. The weather was wet at the time of the attack, which rendered the muzzle loading.guns of the Afghans useless. Two companies held one pos ition against the Russians until its de fenders wore killed. The Afghans re treated io Maranehak in perfect order. The Russians made no pursuit. The Sarabko remain neutral, but plundered the Afghan camp. The Russian losses are said to be great. xne. isruisn officers remained until the Afghans effected their retreat, when they joined tho camp of Sir Peter Lumsden. St. Petersburg, A-pril 8 The Offi cial Messenger publishes the following: Gen. Komaroff reports that in con sequence of tho provocative and mani festly hostile proceedings ot the Af ghans, he was compelled to attack them on the 30th ult., on both banks ot Kushk river. The result was the de feat ot the Afghans, with tbe loss of five hundred men, all their artillery, two standards and their camp and proyis sions. The Russian loss was one offi cer and ten soldiers killed, and three subalterns and twenty-nine soldiers .wounded. When the lighting ended, Gen. " Komaroff returned across the river to the position lie had formerly 'occupied. "Gen Komaroff also reports that some British officers, who had been eye witnesses, but not participants in the engagement, appealed to the Russians j lor protection, when they saw that the Afghans were beaten But, unfortu I nately, he says, u convoy which he immediately dispatched to the relief of these officers was unable to overtake the Afghan cavalry, who carried the British away with them in their flight." " IxNiKN, April 9. lhere is great exciteixent on the London Stock Ex change, amounting to almost a panic, over the news of tbe fight in Afghanis tan, which is regarded '-as equivalent to a declaration, of war.

The jary of inquest, which for a num ber of days has been engaged in in vestigating tbe cause cf the explosion of the boiler of the steamer Wave, on the 5th of March last, concluded lhe taking of testimony at about half past 2 o'clock this afternoon, and then ad journed to meet again at 4 o'clock this afternoon at ihe Court House to render their verdict. A great number ot wit nesses have been examined and the record ot the proceedings is quite vol uminous. Another Fire. At a few minutes after 2 o'clock, this afternoon tire was discovered in the store of Mr. Steindorf, on tbe corner of. Ninth and Swenn streets. The alarm was given at once and the fire department was quickly in attendance but the flames had gotten under such headway before assistance could be ob tained that the building and nearly all its contents were destroyed. His loss had not been ascertained when our re port closed, and we could not learn whether tbe property was not. insured or Fire at Smithyille. We regret to learn that the residence of Mrs. Lewis, a widow lady, at Smith ville, was destroyed by fire last night Mrs. Lewis and her daughter, who were the only occupants of the house at the time, narrowly escaped w ith their lives, and they would undoubtedly have perished in the flames had it not been for Mr, Jeff. Piver, who burst open a rear door and rescued them. The building was tbe property of Mr.Bryant Morse. It is not known how the fire originated, but it is supposed that it was in consequence of leaving embers on the hearth. The loss is estimated at about $500, but we did not learn wheth. er there was any insurance on the prop erty or not. Spring Styles In Hats. There will not be much change in the styles of hats this season. The high silk hats are a little higher and straighter less of a bell shape and with a little lighter curl in the rim. The Derbys are much the same, only there is a slight deviation in the direction of square crowns. One of the new things is a reddish brown tan and greenish gray, with a bronze band, both made in London. Altogether the new styles show less change than they have in many seasons. Tweed hats will be worn to some extent, but there are many imitations. The real Tweed hats that come here are of an English make. These Tweed hats are usually worn on rainy days or for traveling. The high silk bat remains the most dressy article of head wear for gentlemen. The Derby, however, will be the most worn. Slight Fire. At about half past 11 o'clock this forenoon fire was discovered anions some strips of refuse lumber, near the furnace at Mr. J. W. Taylor's saw mill, on Nutt street. The alarm was prompt- y given and the firemen soon present, J but in the meantime a ho?e hud been I attached to the hydrant at the corner of Nutt and Walnut streets, and a lively stream was soon at work delug" mg the flames with walcr and the fire was soon extinguished. The damage was nearly nominal, being confined exclusively to refuse lumber as we have described. It is suDDosed tbat the fire originated through a defect in the arch 1 under the furnace. It is fortuaate that the flames were so quickly subdued as there were large quantities ot lumber in tbe yard which, had tbe Are reached them, would have caused a good deal of bard word for the firemen and neces sarily involved a large destruction of property.
