Allexed Violation of the
Enforce-
anent Act. . . ; , ... j
We learn that a warrant has been serv
ed on Dr. I Walter ; O Curtis, a prom
inent citizen of Brunswick county, on
the affidavit of Lewis A. Galloway of
that county, alleging that on or about the
1st of August, 1874, he (Dr. C.) "did, at a
registration of voters for an election of
Representative in the Congress of the Uni
ted Stales, fraudulently attempt to register,
not having a lawful right so to do." The
case will be beard before : Commissioner
ally. 51 is useless to say that his action in
the premises, whatever it might have been,
could riot have arisen from any motives of
intentional fraud, or design to violate the
liw governing in such cases. He-might
have conscientiously erred id the belief
that he was entitled to register, but that he
knowingly and deliberately attempted. to
register or vote when not entitled to do so
is not all characteristic of the man. In
fact, the revival of the matter at this late
day , and the effort to bring it into the courts
savors of political persecution.

' To-morrow evening the 'inimitable Mag
.gicMUcbellf whosereputalipn as an actress,
especially in her perfect characterizations
f ber favorUe plays, , Tanchou" , and 1 the
"Pearl of Savoy," have placed her beyond
the pale of ordinary criticism, will once
more greet her old Wilmington-friends at
the Opera House. A- Richmond contem
porary remarks that "Maggie appears as
youngas ever," and.t'a for' her a.cting, it
has grown better - and better, and in her
peculiar part she has no equal. The fol
lowing from the Providence ' Journalsv a
fair specimen of the average Northern sen
timent in regard to Maggie's performances:
' Maggie Mitchell's representation of Fan
cbon, last evening,r was witnessed by,; an
immense audience, occupying all the usual
seats, all the extra chairs that could he ob
tained, and all the. standing room which
permitted a view of the stage. Such audi
ences are rarely seen' on any occasion,' and
especially at - a theatrical entertainment.
Not 'only was it large, but a good portion
pf it was composed of that class who at
tend only when such brilliant stars as Mag
gie Mitchell are announced. To say that
all were well pleased with the entertainment,
would convey but a faint idea of the delight
which was manifested. Hardly one ieft
the hall until the green curtain dropped on
the closing act," and throughout ; the entire
piece all seemed intently interested, seldom
moving in their seats except when some
act or speech made applause irresistible.
We have seen Miss Mitchell in Fanchon,
we dare not say how many times, but we
never witnessed so good a representation of
it as on last evening.. Not only was ber
character perfect in everything, as might
well be supposed, but her -support was
really excellent, and the drama went, off
like clockwork.
Plantation Holler, with Separator
A New Inveutlou.
We examined yesterday, at Messrs. Hart
& Bailey's, where it is on exhibition, anew
invention known as Kahnweiler's Cotton
Seed Hulling Machine, which must prove
very useful to Southern ! planters. This
machine not only hulls the seed, but sepa
rates the seed from the hulls, the latter of
which can be used for manuring purposes,
and the former, mixed with corn, for feed.
The machine will also grind and crack
corn, cob and all, and cut the shucks into
small particles, making altogether an excel
lent feed. As an economizer it possesses
the feature of converting everything ap
pertaining to corn and cotton to some use
ful purpose. We examined specimens of
the cot ten seed after having gone through
the hulling operation, the hulls to be used
for manuring purposes, the cracked corn
and cob mixed, the finer particles of eacb,
ground nearly to the consistency of meal,
the chopped shucks, &c. ' The machine we
saw is of hand power, but they are usually
of from one to two horse power. To many
planters in the South who are in the habit
of throwing away large quantities of cot
ton seed, as .being of no use, except for
manuring .purposes, and also cobs and
shucks, it seems to us that a machine such
as this, which was invented by Mr. David
Kahnweiler, formerly of this city, hut now
of New York, would be of great practical
benefit. 1
The Drowned 8allor
At the request of Capt T. Toss, of the
German brig Fanchon, from which vessel
the young sailor, Wilbelm Wahl, j was
drowned a few days since, we give the fol
io wiag statement:
"At the coroner's inquest over the body
of the sailor, who was drowned a few days
ago, and who belonged to the crew of my
vessel, the Fanchon, a black mark was
found on the forehead of the drowned man,
and the jury, one of whose members was a
physician, was of .the opinion that the man
was : knocked overboard,- and that this
caused the mark on" his forehead; this
could only have been done by one of bis
late fellow sailors, who were at the time
with him painting the vessel. My sailors,
who were highly offended by this suspi
cion, cleared themselves, by washing the
face of the drowned man, and thereby re
moving the mark, which proved to he a
of the black color with which he had
I stain
been painting the vessel,'
Another Political Organization.
We are requested to state that "a large
assemblage of young , Republicans met at
Brooklyn Engine House in the First Ward
night befere last and organized a Club
called "Young Men's Clainu" The follow-
ing officers were dirty elected for the ensu -
ing term, to wit: - President, Alex. Samp
son ; Vice President, Geo. Robinson; Sec

Southerland. ; '
"After oreanization, . resolutions
