Government is now regularlj at work, having organized yester day. Speaker Carlisle was-reelect ed by the unanimous Democratic vote. In the Senate there seems to have been no hitch, notwithstand ing the fact that both parties there are about evenly divided. The friends and advocates of States Rights, and that means the Democratic party, scored a great victory yesterday in the U. S. Su preme Court when the Virginia cases were on appeal. Judge Bond's decision was reversed and the rights or the State reaffirmed. This is a squelcher for Hugh S. Bond and a grand and glorious victory for the Democratic party, the champion of the rights of. the States. LOCAL JnTETKTS- Index to New Advertisements.

Wte have been informed by a gen tleman who has thoroughly canvass ed the city, that the advance in the price of real estate within the last year has been most pronounced and marked. The gentleman alluded to js in a position to know the exact condition of the real estate market, and he says nothing upon guess work or hear say. The advance. is not in isolated cases, here and there, but is universal, and especially is this the case in that part of the city North of the railroad. The general advance in that section of the city has been nearly or quite 100 per cent, within the vear, and there are no indications that the price will de cline. It is no doubt a fact that the city is on a quiet healthy boom, of which the condition of the real estate market is an index. County Commissioners.

Instruction, irives the following exhibit- n C 7 " The average length of the school term for the county, outside of the citv. was t went v wpeks for both wiiite and colored children. The average length of the school termin ! the city was thirty-two weeks, for both races. The total number of pupils enroll- ed was -whites, 049: colored, 1,891. Averairt; attendance whites. G")0: i colored, 984. Of the whites, 44i were males. 503 females; of the colored, 994 were males: 897 females. Average salaries, white and color ed teachers, $30 per month. Number of children of school age in the county: White 1,231 males; 1.435 females. Total 2.iG(. Colored 1.902 males: 2,481 females. Total 4,383. Grand total, 9,407 children of school age, from (i to 21 years. Number of public schools whites 13, colored 15. Total 28. Eighty-three teachers were exam ined and approved during the year. The report of the Superintendent is as follows: In submitting my annual report I can add but little to what has been said in my previous yearly state ments. Tlie improvement in onr schools then commented upon has steadily continued; there is, how ever, greater excellence yet to he reached. The enrollment and at tendance in some districts' is still too small. When it is considered that the present Board of Education has exhibited an unusual interest in the schools and propose to add one month more to the school term, making a five months session, it is but just to the children and the Board of Education that committee men should heartily respond. In this connection I deem it my duty to refer to the schools, both white and colored, in the Seventh District. The attendance is most excellent and will compare favorably with any schools with which 1 am ac quainted, at home or abroad. This is undoubtedly due to excellent in struction and great interest, practi cally manifested, by the school com mittee. I beg leave to again refer to the admirable section in the school law, 'which places one-third of the school money in the general fund to be utilized in the interest of both races. It would be difficult to conceive how a more just law could have been framed. Without an en actment of this kiruLgreat injustice would nreviramv ionow: as it now operates, there is no discrimination. Our city schools are now crowded: in some instances completely over run. To meet this difficulty, I sug gest that the Board recommend to the next General Assemblv to alter the school age from 6 to 21, to 8 to 20. At least fifteen per cent, of our teachers are mere nurses. Availing: themselves of excellent teachers and comfortable rooms, a number of children are enrolled to get rid of the trouble and necessary attention at home. It is exceedingly difficult to retain the attention of children six and seven years of age. The time allotted to the class should be bestowed exclusively upon those who are rapidly reaching that peri od when they must go to work. In conclusion, I would earnestly recommend that the present course of instruction be not enlarged. In my opinion a thorough teaching of the rudiments in the "short time allotted for public instruction is all that can be obtained. Any attempt to go beyond this will result in fail ure. Indeed, the State of North Carolina does not intend that education in the public schools should go any further thanteachimreverv child, thorough- lv, the rudiments, wisely judging that the pupil, if he had the ambi tion and the desire, will himself ac- uuire the lusher education, lhe State demands the services of her citizens on the jury and in many other responsible positions, and ex pects that these duties shall be per formed with intelligence. The citi zen has the right to demand that opportunity be afforded that he may flt himself for the proper discharge of these duties. Thus, there is no charity in public education. The State is endeavoring to this extent to fulfil her part, if failure results, it will be owing to a lack of interest -rvi.if. i,..t Pnlilirv rntnictinn The cheapest place to buy your school books and school stationery;111 ueU. delinquent tax is at Heinsbersrer Nor. barque Wiadimir, Knudsen, a"ived at Hamburg uiburg Dee. 2d.

Olden buttel, have been invited and with one accord have kindly accepted to be present at the Wilmington Jahr markt, to be given by the ladies of the Lutheran Church, of this city, commencing to-morrow and contin uing until Friday of this week, in clusive. The city officials will also be pres ent on tin's occasion. The crack company of "soldier boys" will give an exhibition drill, as will also the different companies of "tire laddies."' All of the companies, will appear in full uniform, which will add to the pieturesqueness of the interior of the City Hall, on the nights men tioned: and will blend beautifully with the costumes of the ladies who have charge of the Spanish, Tyro lean, Swedish Suabian, and other booths. These features, together wi th the Punch and Judy entertainment and the many varieties of edibles: likewise the different curiosities iii the 'museum and menagerie, will well be worth the extremely low price of admission, ten cents. This ''Yearly Mart" promises to be a credit to the city of Wilmington, in point of completeness and variety. The Germauia Cornet Band, in their handsome new uniforms, have kind ly offered their services, and will discourse popular selections by prominent authors, on the first and second nights of the Jahrmarkt.
