Naturally one would think that the scoundrelism of the Lynch Returning Board and the villainy of the mid night order of Durell were enough even for the minions of the Adminis tration in Louisiana. But it appears that they have gone to greater lengths than, ever before. - Notwithstanding the State gave a Conservative major ity on the State ticket, electing Moncure by ,3,500, the Returning Board chosen to return Repub lican majorities- declared Debuclet the Republican candidate, elected by fifteen hundred majority. -. So, in making returns of members elect to the Legislature, they have manufac tured a Radical majority. The origi nal returns, as received and compiled by. the clerks of tins same Board, in dicated the election of. seventy Con servative and fifty-one Radical mem bers. The Board eclared that fifty four Radicals : and fifty-two Con servatives were chosen Of course the people are indignaut, and it will not be. 'strange if some slight acts of displeasure are done. In the presence of such foul wrongs the blood of Celt, Saxon. or Iberian boils, and only the truest wisdom and patriotism will restrain a people so outraged from rising in their wrath, granted to be imbecile, and slaying the miserable tyrants who. have con cocted and executed this high-handed tyranny. Gov. MeEnery says they contemplate no resistance. Surround ed by large detachments of Federal troops and frowned down by Federal war vessels, the people of New Or leans are at the mercy of Kellogg. They dare not stir hand or foot with out bringing, down uporr heru a mighty and heartless .power, which would crush them, in "a" day. This they do not desire to do. Their case is before the country. They feel that they can accomplish more by ener getic protest without violence than by a more warlike and less prudent course. Meantime the rest of us hold our breath, and cry, " Shame, shame, in a shameless land." spirits Turpentine Elizabeth City brags upon its im -cved business prospects. Mr. Walker and Miss Cottie Owen, daughter of Rev. T. R. Owen, were tnarned in Tarboro on the 22d inst. A lamp explosion last Tuesday morning at the residence of Mrs. Veach, in bulem, Happily caused no serious loss. . On the 17th Miss Ella Grandy, of Oxford, was married to Mr. Alex. e. Peace, a prominent lawyer of that town. The TaTboro. inquirer says the barns and stables of Mr. J. 0. Battle were burned lost Sunday morning, together with much corn and rough forage. ' Two negro men were convicted at Greensboro this week of rape, and both -were sentenced to be hung,. One of the negroes has taken an appeal to the Su preme Court. : Theo.

A. Kose presided, Mr. j, A. Little Secretary. Committees to solicit subscriptions were appointed. - We learn from the Magnolia Ilecord that a htile girl . about three years o;d, the daughter of Claiborne Walker, col ored, was by accident burned so badly, on Wednesday, the 16tb, near Duplin lioad, that death ensued in a lew hours. - ' Gov. Brogden has issued a proc lamation of reward of $300 for the capture aud return to KaleigU of .Lee Dun lap, the murderer. Also a proclamation offering $200 reward for the apprehension and deliv ery of John Outlaw, who robbed Col. Cun ningham's store in Person county. Both colored." Duplin Ilecord: James Brown, of liockfish, David Carry of Island Creek, and ltiley Bishop and Jacob Taylor, of Magnolia, are the only survivors of the war , of 1812, in Duplin county. They all enjoy a pension. Stephen Herring, another of these old patriots, died at his home in Ke nunsville Township, last week. j Tarboro Fnquirer : Allen Ly on, colored, who was confined in the jail at this place about six months ago for an un successful attempt to outrage the person of a negro women living about eight miles from town, was re-committed on Tuesday, having accomplished bis hellish purpose in a most brutal and chocking manner the night previous, on the same individual.

The City of Wilmington. r Under this head the, Raleigh: Stale Agri cultural Journal, whose Editor was in our city during Fair week, says; y ; "Beaufort Harbor is North Carolina's nat ural outlet to the sea." That Is the most mag nificent pprt on our . sea-coast; andranks among the first' ports on the Atlantic 'shore. The waters are deep, the harbor broad and spacious, and the surrounding country rich and attractive. - . : "- ."Beaufort has every natural advantage for a sea-port of the first order. To make it the ocean gate for the Old North State has been the dream of some of our wisest states men. " 'f , . "But, Beaufort is a failure, as a sea-port for North Carolina. Various causes have combined to prevent its becoming what na ture seemed so evidently to design it for. And to-day if is as barren of commerce as it was twenty years ago. The broad and restless bosom of its splendid harbor is not whitened with the sails of merchantmen' and traders, as we should like to see it, and the wheels of the steamer rarely disturb its waters. Fortune has not smiled upon it The Railroad Kings slight it; and the mighty volumes of trade pouring outward from the fields and forests of our State, seeks other channels and other outlets to the ocean. All the bright dreams, and hopes, and anticipa tions of Beaufort's greatness have departed perhaps never to return. i "Next in order, as regards natural ad vantages, is the. port of Wilmington our City by the Sea. This is the one sea-port in North Carolina which may be said to be thriving. Prosperity dwells within her borders. .Her past is a record of steady growth and progress. Her future is "full of promise; and she is rapidly becoming a rival, not to be despised,' of -Norfolk, Charleston and Savannah. I "The first city in point of population in North Carolina, Wilmington must become our most important commercial emporium. "The completion of the Carloina Central Railway insures Wilmington's future.- It opens up a new region of country tributary to her; places her in direct communication with Charlotte, destined to become the At lanta of the Carolinas, and gives her another connection with the Southwest. "A broad and liberal policy towards pro ducers and shippers on the part of the mer chants and lords of the city of Wilmington continued with a spirit of energy and en terprise would make Wilmington !he Ham burg or the Liverpool of the South, and place it alongside of Charleston and Nor folk in magnitude and importance. "The people of Wilmington are noted for their open-handod hospitality; they de serve success; they are worthy of fortune's best ffvors; and we wish th noble city rapid advancement along the hiehway to prosperity, power, and grandeur." UamplfDomply, v, At the Opera House to-morrow evening Geo. L. Fox, the celebrated pantomimist, with his mammoth company, will com mence a two night's engagement The Charleston Courier'News thus speaks of his appearance there:- -.. ii- . Every one knew - or - expected that "Humpty Dumpty" would prove a jolly fellow, but the majority were, unprepared for such excruciating drollery, and the house fairly rang with laughter throughout the performance. Fox is a team in himself. His comic power is remarkable. To see his back is to smile; to note his walk is to laugh, while one of his inimitable grins sets the house in a - roar. Humpty's "kaleidi ecope" is unsurpassed, and abounding in astounding revelations, while Humpty him self lieterally radiates' in fun. The com pany is very strong. The Orrin . brothers displayed tremendous strength and agility. Their feat of balancing head to.head, their somersaults from shoulder to shoulder, aud their grand and lolly" tumblings are aston ishing exibitions of' skill and nerve. Miss Louise Bosbnell, in her tight-rope or wire walking, has few equals in grace, and her performance caused enthusiastic applause. Mile Lucia is as graceful as she is excellent in gymnastics. "The Milanese Minstrels," Mr. E. C. Dunbar, , in his specialties, made a decided hit. The wonderful vocalism of Mons. Deverche elicited encore after en core. Altogether, the company Is the best troupe , that has .appeared in our city for years, and the entertainment they give would put in good humor the most cynical Masonic Addreaau We desire to call particular attention to the free Masonic address of Col. Thos. S. Kenan, of Wilson, N. C, at the theatre on Monday night, under ; the . auspices of the Masonic fraternity of this city and to urge upon both ladies and gentlemen the accept ance of the, invitation so cordially extended, them by the Order here. ; Not the least at-, tractive feature of the occasipn -will be the music by the Cornet Concert Club, "which ia itself ought to fill the house. . . & City Taxes.

' - - " . - : Another Aecident. . - - ? Yesterday morning, while the steward of a vessel, lying near the foot of Market street, was engaged in cutting wood, the axe was by some means diverted from its intended course, the sharp edge coming in contact with one of his feet, cutting a very ugly gash in his instep about three inches in length and one in depth, and also inflicting quite a severe wound on his big toe. He was taken to the drug store of Dr. W. W. Harriss, where the proper, remedies were applied by Dr. West. J- mragUtrate'a Court. x Before Justice Gardner, yesterday, a young white woman by the name of Mollie Dove was arraigned on the charge of entic ing a colored man from Bladen county, by the name of Edward Field, into her house somewhere on Water street,' on Christmas day, and robbing him of $14 50 in money. The evidence was cTeemed sufficient to con vict and defendant was ordered to give bond in the sum of $100 for herappearance at Court, in default of which she was com mitted to Jail. One of the Great Advantages . Of the completion of the Carolina Cen tral Railway from this city to Charlotte is in the earlier arrival ot the mails. For merly, the Wilmington daily papers ar rived in Charlotte the next morning after publication, and we received the Charlotte papers about thirty-six hours after they had issued from the press. Now, thanks to the ; energy which has put us in speedier com munication with our neighbor of the hill country, we receive the Daily Charlotte Observer and the weekly journals' of that flourishing city on the very day they are printed, and they receive the metropolitan journals in the evening of the day of pub lication."

We -t learn that the seats for Humpty Dumpty are going off rapidly and those wishing to secure a good one had bet ter apply early to-morrow morning. There is an ugly hole m the side walk at the corner of Bladen kand MacRae streets, near Union depot, which ia said to cause a great deal of inconvenience. .- iiav. Dr. M. S. Kennedy, editor of the Souths a Christian Advocate, published at Macon, Ga., is in this city on a visit to his inother,,Mrs. C. G. Kennedy. The remarkable phenomenon of a Christmas day without the disagreeable accompaniment of rain, hail, sleet or snow has been witnessed in Wilmington. There were three interments in Oakdale Cemetery during the past week.two of which were adults, .aged 73 and 64, re spectively and one an infant four months old. . The first quarterly meeting of the Fifth-street Methodist Church, for the present conference year, .will be held to day, .r The presiding elder, Rev. W. S. Black, wfll be in attendance and preach morning and evening. A . slight - disturbance on 'the stceets Christmas day was " nipped in the bad" by the prompt action of City Marshal Robinson, the offending parties being taken to the Guard House, from which theywere subsequently released, v . v Wilmington' Vs. CUrloite.-A Gener v on Contest. As we have before said, we trust that the rivalry between the business men of Char lotte and those of our own city will ever be of the friendlv, generous kind that pre cludes bickerings and heartburnings. So far there has been no evidence of the exist ence of a contrary spirit on the part of eith er of the newly-made neighbors. Charlotte has no port, and should send her products this way for shipment We arethegrea commercial seaboard metropolis of the State; she is the vast inland granary from which, in large measure, we will look for supplies. Not that Wilmington will not be able to supply Herself first hand from the same remote rural sources from which Charlotte herself draws sustenance. Wil mington can and will put in her superior claims, and the West will, for the first time, have the chance of a generous commercial relationship with a sea-side North Carolina town. ' ' - . , Bearing out these views and charges, we find in the Aaheville Expositor an article based on some pleasantries of the Charlotte Observer, and, as the connection is so close as to demand the appearance side by side of both the Observer's and the Expositor's articles, and for purposes of our own, we reproduce the whole matter. . The Observer, in speaking of the liberal disposition of the Wilmington merchants to advertise in its columns, now that the Central Railway is completed, thus boldly indicates that the Charlotte merchants will cross the rubicon : "Men who have labored in the sunshine and storm to gain - the' enviable reputation possessed by our principal business houses, will not willingly let the golden prize slip from, their grasp; and if the heavy grocery houses of Wilmington find Jack Black, Bob Miller, or some other Charlotte grocery men Belling groceries at Shoe Heel; if the principal dry goods houses of Wilmington should find such men as McMurray& Davis, ' WJttkowsky & Rintels, Elias & Cohen, Wolfe & Barringer, Koopman, etid omne genus, going down into the turpentine country; if, perchance, they should wake up one of these frosty mornings and tiud the Brems retailing log chains and forty Eenny nails in the 'city by the sea the lerchners, the Myerses, the Adrians, the Binfords, and their Wilmington confreres must not blame us for it, because we give them - notice beforehand that ' it is more than possible, and at the same time it i quite probable." On the above humorous and imaginative effusion the Asheville ExposUor,i rom its iof ty eyrie, makes the" subjoined practical ' com. ment, which, if we mistake not the spirit of our merchants, will be,accepted by them and acted upon as number one advice : Now we wish to say to the Observer, that our western people are . looking out for the best prices, and if Charlotte shall fail to buy our apples, potatoes, cabbage, poultry, buckwheat flour, corn, wheat, and the various other commodities now' crowd ing the market, the Charlotte merchants need not be surprised to see our hale, determin ed . mountaineers on Itoard the Carolina Central, with thousands of big cabbage, averaging, eigcteen pounds to the head, and' with several hundred turkeys and chickens from Mitchell and Watauga counties; and with barrels of the fine apples from Yancey county- with the best buckwheat flour in the land crying out, " Onward to Wil mington." - . . We do not mean . by this to underrate .Charlotte, but to indicate that if they would succeed her merchants must afford a market, at remunerating prices, . for all the agricultural products of the West. v. ; m m a. Unfortunate Occurrence. Mr. Charles Stemmermann, a German, aged about 17 or 18 years, met with a very unfortunate accident yesterday afternoon, about 3 o'clock. He was' at the residence of ; Mr.' J. C. Koch, on Castle, between Fourth and Fifth-streets, and was , in the act of loading a weapon which he held in 'his hand,' whn the powder flask which he was using at the time was by some means accidentally exploded, resulting in badly mutilating one of his hands and also injur ing one of his eyes. ' A physician was im mediately sent for and the proper remedie applied. ' Sudaen Death. Mr. George -W.v Hurst, of Warsaw, Du--plin county, formerly'of Petersburg, and at one time a resident of Newbeiri j died very strddenly at 'the-Parmex House-iirthis city on Thursday., night, ' while sitting in a chair in the office of the hotel. Coroner Hewlett was notified and held an inquest over tlie body, the jury returning a verdict to the effect that deceased came to his death from erysipelas. He was abont 35 yearsfof age, and leaves a large circle of friends and relatives' to mourn his sudden and untimely death. " " . Ladle' Entertainment. . - The young ladies of the M. E. Sociable Society. of the .Front Street Church will give another of their pleasant series of en tertainments at the Hall of the Wilmington S. F. E. Company, corner Fourth and Princess streets, on to-morrow, (Monday) evening. The public are cordially invited, and as the cause in which the ladie3 are engaged is a worthy and commendable one we hope they may be encouraged and stim ulated by a large attendance on the part of our citizens . !. . Christmas Christmas day, the long-looked fojr and anxiously expected, has come and 'gone. The day passed off about as it usually does in this city. Business, as a general thing, was suspended, and everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves. 'Sep vices were held at the Episcopal, Catholic and Lutheran churches, all of which were very tastefully decorated with evergreens. Bishop Atkinson officiated at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. .
