': Before the . meeting of the State

the 20th instaut, and '-- without regard
to what newspapers said on the sub

was any possibility of Convention
- obtaining a two-thirds vote of the
Democratic members of the House. -At
the time of writiug this article we
are not advised as to the action of
the Committee, but it makes no dif
ference, whether it advises for or
' against calling a Convention, we are
satisfied thit thepresent Legislature
will not make the call.

We have "opposed a Convention
nutil after the next Gubernatorial

.have no word of ',censure for those
who favored it, forwe knov that the
friends of Convention are as true
North Carolitiiaaa.as ever lived and
are as anxious as anto promote the
welfare of the State andls citizens.
There has been an honest difference
of opinion between friends, and both
sides must resolve to remain friends
and continue to work together for
- the success of the Democratic party.
We are willing to contJecle to others
what we claim for onrself, the privi

. frowns or smiles of any one.
Since writing the above we see that
the Raleigh Ntws states that the
V Democratic State Executive Com

afternoon, passed a resolution advis

At 12 o'clock tho bill giving right
of redemption to debtors whose real

taken up as the special order.; Mil
Patton, the introducer of the bill, ex
plained ils provisions, which jj eives
the right of debtors the privilege of
redeeming their lands within two
years after the sale. . It was just to
the debtor and jrjot unjust to the
creditor. It sought to prevent the
a bominabl practice of Shylocking,

Mr. Moring objected to the pass
age of the bill, from j the fact that
purchasers of lands under execution,
could never knovv when they bad a
quiet title to property. Besides, the
homestead exemption of $1,000, was
a sufficient protection to the debtor
class. There was also a provision in
the bill forbidding the purchaser of
such lands from .committing waste.
A purchaser theijefdre, would be pre-;

: !" :- ' Hlntoii v :. ---V, y : ;
lYesterday in an editorial we pub
lished the iuforraatioti of the death
of Col. James Wi : ninton, of Nor
folk, late of , this State, and gave a
succinct sketch of f his life, and esti
mate: of his character. We learn from
Norfolk . papers received last night
that a meeting of the officials and
congregation of . Granbury Street
Methodist Cburch, of which he was a
zealous and : active member, held a
meeting last Sunday raornincf and
appropriately :: testified t by their ' ac
tion their, ; sorrow:
at his sud-
tbeir ; high re-
spect for his "mejory. Aft a meet
ing of the Masons' next day suit
able action was also taken. The bar
of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Hamp
ton met on Monday and - resolutions
6 eulogy and sorrow and appropriate
speeches were made. Among the
speakers were Hon. John Goode,
Scarborough and Garnett . and ex-Judge-Asa
Biggs. We print a sum
mary of Jude Biggs' speech.
Judge Biggs said that, like himself,
Colonel Hiuiott was a native of North
Carolina, and that be loved his native
State with a tender
devotion which
time and distance
had . failed to
change . He also spoke of the love
and pride wth which the people of
North Carolina regarded the deceased,
and that the announcement of his
death wonld thrill with sorrow hun
dreds of hearts within her -borders.
He did not think when Col. Hinton
came to this city six' years ago in the
full strength of his manhood and
mental vigor that he would so soon
be taken' away, and that it would be
.his sad duty to follow his remains to
their last resting place. He spoke of
the uncertainty of life, and of the im
portance even in the full strength and
vigor of health to prepare for death.
He spoke at some length of the vir
tues of the deceased, and of the bright
example his! life would furnish those
who follow him in the great struggle,
of life. ! , ' i: .: :-, c- -

ON THIS RAGGKJD EDGE.
A Bonolue Report of the Radical
Meeting Last NIffbt The Country
Safe Now.
Under, the combined influence of a little
benzine and the dulcet strains of the Rose
Bud B!id a considerable number of able
bodied Republicans assembled on tbe "Rag
ged Edge" last evening, and j proceeded to
business "by calling Jacob Wise (of Alder-
manic and cart-captain memory) to the
Chair, and Josephus Constable Hilll to act
as Secretary.
Speeches of the regular cut were made
by "Jedge" Heaton, ex-Cashier Smyth and
ex-Register Josephus Constitutional Hill
4
A string of resolutions as long as one of
Judge Cantwell's orations were adopted
Grant and Sheridan were ) endorsed, of
course; but, strange to relate,;1 it was only in
that way that the course of the Senator
from New Hanover was indirectly con
demned in the resolutions, ji .
' Jedge" Heaton, boweverim his speech,
alluded to the Senator as the: "poor, silver
haired, demented old man," ;but expressed
the bope that be would be-all right again
when he heard from-New Hanover.
Ex-Cashier Smyth told his bearers that if
the Democrats called a Convention they
would make the poll-tax ten dollars, and
thus virtually disfranchise the negroes L
and we have no doubt they believed every
word of it. j - I
uuring tn x-uasnieTremai-
ored " bandit" made some verv unchristian
allusion to the Freedman's Bank business;
but the bandit was quickly silenced by a
neighbor who said : " Now look a here, nig
ger, you shet right up; we ain't a gwine to
hab none ob dat here!"
Tbe meeting, as a whole," was as tame as
a pef rabbit, and will hardly settle the Lou
isiana or any other question.!
Sheridan, Alack. & Oaf. ji
The Sheridan, Mack & Day Combination
will give one entertainment in' Wilmington
Monday evening, February jl. . As a send
off we give them the benefit jof the follow
ing, from the Norf orlk Landmark : " The
performance of the talented variety troupe
last night at the Opera House was all that
could have been done for it. Every one in
their specialties are artists of a rare order
of merit. The clog dancing and protean
changes of the Stuart sisters captured us
and we do not' hesitate to Say that great
.Benson has nothing on them. , Their triple
step and double-quick , shuffle, beats
rotary motion into utter insignificance. 4
Sheridan and Mack, as character and pro
tean actors, are simply immense in all their
acts. From prelude to finale the perform
ance was of the most interesting and at
tractive character in every feature, detail
and appointment."" j
Homicide la Bra Dstvlck.
A mysterious homicide occurred in Bruns
wick county, near the works, of the Kavassa
Guano Company, last Friday: The parties
were a white man named Dinx Swain and
a colored man named Eli i Cobb. Swain
shot Cobb in the neck, inflicting a wound
of which Cobb died the folio wing day. Tbe
wounded man, being unable to speak up to
the 'moment of his death, could give.no ac
count of the affair; and we believe tbe fact
that Swain fled the neighborhood immedi
ately after the shooting, was the first cir
cumstance that excited a suspicion as to his
guilt. And even should Swain be captured,
it is not probable that it wilt ever be known
what led o the commission of the homi
cide, asjthere were, no witnesses of. the act.

of "the saddest i aecidents ;we ; have ? ever
known to occur in our section. - Mrs. Black
man Who lives on Eighth, a few doors from
Bladen : street;, was, . yesterday morning'
about 8 o'clock, standing near the nrewnicn
wis builtin an open fire place, beating some
dainty, for her infant child. ..The child was
just behind her at the time and, while, she
was engaged in this' occupation.it 'gave a
slight scream which caused ; its' mother to
turn . suddenly i aiT6und;rjto j ascertain .vte.
cause of it As she did so her light clothing
came in contact with the fire and. caught,
burning rapidly. She at once ran Into, the
kitchen, the flames around her body, being j
intensified, by the: win d ; owing ; to, the
rapidity of her movements, for the pur
pose .aS'A she af terwards stated of
obtaining a bucket of, water, with which,
to put out the fire. . Not . finding . the
bucket in its usual place she "caught
f jip her husband's overcoat and tried to wrap
it around herself, but being blinded by'the
smoke, terror-stricken and stupefied, her
woman's mind gave way and she could do
nothing else but remain riveted to tbe spot,
too thoroughly Helpless to even cry aloud,
while the flames enveloped her body, con
suming her clothes and filling, the room
with suffocating smoke, while three small
children remained motionless, terror-stricken
spectators of the agony of then: mother.
One of the children at last went to the door
and cried for help, when a gentleman who
lives near ran into the house and throwing
a coat around the now almost black and
naked form of Mrs, Black man, carried her
into the next house. She lingered in great
suffering until 4 o'clock yesterday evening,
when she died, having remained sensible to
within a few moments of her death. She
was attended by Drs. Love and McDonald.
Mrs. Blackman was aged 22 years, was the
wife of 'Mr. Irving Blackman,1 formerly an
engineer on the W., C & A. Railroad, but
has been lately employed at the naval store
yard of Messrs.' Williams & Murchison, on
the other side of the river, to which .place
he had gone at 6 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, leaving his wife and three small child
ren at home. The family were respected
by all who knew them, and much sympathy
is felt for this sad berearement. The body
of Mrs. Blackman will. be interred to-day at
Northwest, on the crolina Central Rail

We learn some additional facts in regard
to the fire on night before last, which it was
impossible f or ub to obtain for our last . is
sue.: The, stock, which was valued at be
tween $10,000 and $15,000, is almost a total
loss,; being principally damaged by the wa;
ter. j Besides the insurance of $3,000 in the
insurance agency of Messrs. Tay lor & Giles
already spoken of, there was an insurance
of $2,000 in tbe North British Fire Ins. Co.
and $3,000 in the Continental Fire Ins. Co.
Both of these companies are represented in
this city by Messrs. Atkinson & Manning.
The dry goods establishment of STHanstein
&Co. next adjoining, was but slightly dam
aged,- the windows and door being broken
The cause of the conflagration still remains
unknown the only way that it can be ac
counted for is that it may have caught from
the stove.
