WILMINGTON, N. C:
Wednesday. Morning, April 29,'74.
Conservative Nominations.
For Superintendent of Public In-
... stkuction:
STEPHEN D. POOL, of Craven.
r- .THE FINANCIAL ISSUE.
The :great issue before the country
and which, will be the principal sub
ject for political discussion for two
years, in all probability, is the curren
cy question. Shall we or shall -we
not have not more money ?
The Presidential veto by no means
disposes of inflation. The leading
advocates of expansion by no means
deport themselves like whipped curs.
On the conlrary their attitude is one
of defiance and confidence in the ulti
mate result. They rely on he sup
port ,of the : masses ; they JSVL- back
. uponj the people; they re-form their
lines, disarranged by 'the Presidential
treachery, and propose to increase
their exertions until the final day of
victory. : . .
; "The leaders of the inflation, or as it
is more: aptly termed, the expansion
party are the shrewdest and ablest in
the ranks of the two political parties
of the country. In a word we would
describe them as men who know a
thing or two and who assuredly know
how to apply their knowledge. These
men have met in conference repeated-
ly since .the veto was sent in, and it is
, r believed they have arranged a thor
ough plan for the campaign. Some
inklings of this programme reach us.
It is said that ; a canvass of all the
agricultural States and the great mi
ning:: State of Pennsylvania has
s been determined upon for the sum
mer and fall, in the elections for
. Congress.' Every- legitimate means
of carrying these elections will be re
sorted jto. ) The best speakers and the
best writers will be called into, re
quisition to establish irrefragably the
need for further issue of currency and
the safety of a reasonable additional
. issue. , The canvass will be animated
beyond any of recent years, - for the
contractionists will make equally as
. strong efforts to prevent expansion as
the expansionists will make to secure
it. A manifesto will be sent out very
soon by the leading advocates of ex
: : pansion. ..
The fine-spun, selfish theories of
Wall street and Boston can make no
headways in this section. They will
also be indignantly rejected by our al
lies in the West, The people are taunt
ed for their ignorance in matters finan
. cial. t .They: do not propose" to Idarn
' of 'the'r Vanderbilts'- and ' thet jay
Goulds, and tbey. mean, too, to act
'j wisejy.npd well.; As. there were brave
men before Agamemnon, so there.jare
, capable financier out of .the limit of
theNewTorfe -Crold Excbatfge and
. . who were not bredup under the shad
ow of Harvard. .' '
j " A gaost important ' phase 5 of this
. business is the ; riddance of those
issues which, have kept chains on the
V South, chains that have eaten into the
'flesh' like the vile bonds that held the
brave Bonnivard. Thank Goi, a
U vM?w.tT? distant view it may be of

THE SOUTHERN DISASTER.
When we first wrote of the disaster
on the Mississippi caused by the
floods'-breaking through the banks
we bad no conception-of the vast ex
tent of the injury done. ;. As the ao-
; counts eome in, gaining fresh interest
withlhe accumulation of details, we
are '"forced to believe that no fnch
- calamityhas overtaken the people of
Louisiana since the country has beep
' .settled. x v. . . . ; -Vl , - -
Five, millions j of acres, half in cot
.rton'anl half in sugar cane", have been
swept by the flood.- Nearly two hun
dre4)tJ)b.jsSnd'peopleAav'e been left
destitute. r j . . , , 5
VVe i.ire glad to see that thia Feder
al Government has oouie to the aid

of these people will be made by Con
gress. Private charity, too, has been
active. In a cause like this let not
the hand be t stayed until , the r good
work is completed. The generosity
that ever distinguishes Southern char
acter should certainly not fail when
the object of relief is a Southerner
who has beeii overwhelmed by mis
fortune. Here are thousands of our
fellow qpuntrynien who have lost
their all in the gulphinsj ruin. Shall
we not help them all we can? Let
the business men of Wilmington,
ever ready at such calls to duty, no
ble in the performance of Christian
deeds of charity as they were gallant
in the service of their country in war,
respond to this last appeal. Help
your suffering feflow men on the Mis-'
sissippi.
ARKANSAS.
The situation is unchanged. The
members of Congress from that State
with one exception are making stren
uous exertions to have it appear that
the people are for Brooks. But, in
formation direct and of a reliable
character from Arkansas represents
sentiment among the solid people as
being in favor of Baxter, who has
made an honest and capable execu
tive. It looks, however, as if the
t&e Brooks usurpation will be likely
to succeed. Brooks is seeking Fed
eral intervention "if the worst should
come to the worst." His party eon-
fidently rely on aid from Grant, not
withstanding his repeated declara-
Itions of neutrality, " if it shall be
necessary for him to interfere and
prevent the success of the Baxter
party. There is a funny statement
connecting Senator Morton with this
matter. Morton, as might naturally
be supposed, leans to the Brooks
party justas he has to the Kellogg
villainy in Louisiana. For thi3 reason,
it is understood, and in view of the
contingency which may arise where
by the Arkansas plotters will need
outside help, Senator Morton's last
speech on Louisiana affairs has so far
been withheld from publication. In
that speech, delivered on the 16 th in
stant, Mr. Morton took" ?uch high
ground in regard to Federal inter
ference with the States as would
make it awkward for him to support
any interference with Arkansas affairs
under the present circumstances.
When the speech does appear iu the
official record it is expected that it
will be toned down considerably.
We believe the Brooksites count in
vain on Grant's intervention in their
behalf. The burnt child shuns the
fire. Louisiana taught him a lesson
he will not soon forget.
Col. I. W. Avery, late of the At
lanta Constitution, has purchased a
third interest in the Atlanta Herald,
and becomes one of its editors. That
paper is now owned by Messrs; R. A.
Alston, Henry W. Grady and I. W.
Avery, and the style of the' firm is
Alston & Co.
TIMEET .TOPICS.
If all scientists were like Agassiz there
would be no danger of atheism intrenching
itself behind scientific research and. specu
lation. . Mr. "Whipple, the brilliant essay-;
ist, in aa' article on Agassiz, 6ajs: '"We
were once present at dinner where Agassiz
was the most conspicuous guests, and where
this advice was given. The great natural
ist twirled his napkin in his hand, paused,
smiled benignantly to all his friends, listen
ed somewhat nervously t what they had to
say, and then answered : You dont know
what this tendency of science will lead to.
God will go out of. the. unirerse as fast as
Darwinianism comes in. If the theory
were demonstrated by facts, T-wuld be the-
rstto-BuMain it, buIjean't -give up. God
Almighty for an ingenious hypothesis, when.
I know there are facts which contradict the
hypothesis. I am, first of all, a man of
science; I follow whithersoever science
leads; but I get enraged when I am voted
an old fogy and a man behind the age, be
cause I decline to accept a theory which
my generalized knowledge and my daily in
vestigations forbid me even to tolerate.'"?
It is Well known that the manners of the
United. States Congress are not Chesterfield
ian. There has been a sad falling off since
the days ante-bellum. The members of the
House seem to be growing more unruly and
boisterous every day. Business is transact
ed amid the greatest confusion, and this
was particularly the case . Saturday, as we
learn by a special telegram. Toward the
close of the session several, amendments
were offered to the pending bill by , M r.:
Lawrence, of Ohio, but a number'of mem
bers for some cause or other seemed de
termined that he should not address the:
House, and as soon as be opened his mouth
they drowned his ' voice by such calls as
vote," "vote," " vote," " hear," hear,"
1! heat" This scene was'kept up 'for .over
half an hour, and. Mr. Maynard, .who. was
in the chair, was utterly po werless to stop it.

It is astonishing how some men of gen
ius rise in their profession. An ex-English
officer who once outranked Sir Garnet

The New York Times paid Bret

mention of the fact that three of the
nine Judges of the Supreme Court of

In the current number of Scrib

and ruin the lecture system.
Tiie time of the marriage of
Pri nee Ferdinand, of Saxony, and
the Princess Marie Louise, of Belgium,
has not yet been definitely fixed, but
the Belgian papers state that it will
take place some time next month.
"I was a bov at Braddock's de-
- feat in 1755," says Jean Revore, of
bracKen county, liy. This beats
Count Waldeck and Captain Lahr
b'ush; in fact, Reyore is thought to be
full 130 years old, and the oldest man
in the civilized world.
The most thoroughly burned-out-of-house-and-home
man in the
United States is Charles Williams, of
Portland, Me. Seven times .during
the past year has his residence been
consumed. He now proposes to
build a raft and live on a pond. But
somebody will be sure to scuttle his
craft.
"I "dreamed the other night,"
said Bijsh, as he helped his Honor
into his overcoat, "that I asked to
borrow fifty cents of you, and you
handed it out." "Curious coinci
dence," replied his Honor, as he but
toned his coat, "I had the same
dream, except that I told you I
would see you hanged first."
An Irishman was brought be
fore a Judge on charge of stealing a
widow's pig. "Pat," said the Judge,
"When you are brought face to face
with the widow and the pig on the
great Judgment day, what account
can you give of yourself?" "Did you
say the pig would be there, yer hon
or?" "To be sure I did." "Well,
thin, yer riverince, I'd say, 'Mrs. Ma
loney, there's yer pig.'"

A Horrible Conspiracy CJneartbed In
Loalilaua',
A uo 1-respondent of the New Or
leans Picayune, writing from Grant
Parish, La., commences a cheerful
narrative of blood by remarking that,
at Colfax, "murder and robbery still
embrace one? another in the. merry
carnival of hell;" which, applied to
the locality he writes from, seems ap
propriate enough. Tax-Colleetor Re
duskey,.it seems, collected $600 in
taxes, and deposited it for safe keep
ing with Lieut. Winnie, without tha
knowledge of the colored men of
.L-olfax. lhe same night a shivering
negro, armed, with an ax, sought
shelter at the Tax-Collector's house
and received it,! and in the middle of
the night he tried to murder his sleep
ing host, inflicting however, only a
flesh-wound. 1 The Collector woke,
grappled with his assailant, aiid drove
him yff. The affair, was followed up;
and a conspiracy unearthed. A num
ber of negroes had conspired . to as

except, the notorious Register, , The!

New Revised Kdilioii.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every rui,
ject.- Printed from new! type, and illueitratcd
with Several thousand Engravings and Maps
The work originally published under thetitl..f
Thk Nkw Amshican Cxclopwa was comuletJi i
1863, since which time the wide circulation which i!
has attained in all parts of the United fetatea am
the fcignal developments which have taken place i,
every branch of science, liftrature, and art have i
dnced the editors ana publishers to submit to nn'
act and thorough revision, and to iceue a new ctX
tion entitled The American Cyclopedia
Within the last ten years the progress of discover
in every department of knowledge has made a L
work of reference an imperative want.
The movement of political affairs has kept Dar
with the discoveries of science, and their fruiTful an
plication to the industrial and useful arts and ti
convenience and refinement of social life. Orent
wars and consequent revolutions have occurred in
civil war of our own country, which was at its heio-

happily been ended, and a new course of commerH
and industrial activity has been commenced
Large accessions to our geographical knowled
have been made by the indefatigable explorers ?.f
Africa. .
The great political revolutions of the last demrt,.
with the natural result of ;tbe lapse of time hav
brought into public view a multitude of new'mc,,'
whose names are in every one's mouth, and of h, i
lives every ps is carious to know the particular
Great battles have been fought and important si
maintained, of which the details are as yet prem -".
only in the newspapers or in the transient nubile ,
Uons of the day, but which ought now to take i m
permanent and authentic hjbtory. -
In preparing the present edition for the xni
has accordingly been the aim of the editors t iA,
down the information to the latest possible 'a'.-j'
and to furnish an accurate account of the i si ' '
cent discoveries in science, of every fresh i,
tion in literature, and of the newest inventions'
the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct aufi
original record of the progress of political events
The work has been begun after long and caref
preliminary labor, and with the most ample resound
-lor carrying it onto a successful termination.
. Npne of the original stereotype plates have bepn
used, but every page has been printed on new tv7
forming in fact a, new Cyclopsedia, with the BahTe
plan and compasaas Its predecessor, but with a f ,r
greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such im
provements in its composition as have beensueM
ed by longer experience and enlarged knowledge
. The.illnstrations which are introducedfor the fi'i
time in the present edition have been added not
the sake qf pictorial effect, bnt to give greater lucid
lty and force to the explanations in the text The
embrace aJl branches of science and of natural hiu;
ry, and depict the most famous and remarkable fea
tures of scenery, architecture, and art, as well as th
processes of mechanics and manufacturers ai
though intended f orVinstruction rather than embtl
lishment, no pains have been spared to insure thei
artistic excellence; the cost of their execution ik
enormous, and itls believed they willfind a welcome
reception as an admirable feature Of the CjcloDiediu
and worthy of its high character. -
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable c
delivery of each -volume. It will be completed in
sixteen large octavo volumes, each con tainins about
800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand
Wood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lith
