' " ' v. By Last Night's Mail. THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION. 1 Notes and Comment on iueFlorlda Caie, Ace Arc. Special to Richmond Dispatch. -Washington, Feb. 9, No other subject is talked of to night. Morton thinks this decision settles the Presidential question. He regards Louisiana safe for the Re publicans, and the Commission will consistently have the power to in quire whether Governor Grover is sued certificates to electors " declared elected by; the canvassing officers of Oregon. The Democratic members of the Commission, ad indeed all well-informed Democrats, consider THDEN's CAUSE VERY FAR FROM LOST by th result of the Florida contest. The Louisiana case presents several strong points not heretofore laid be fore the Commission. Matt. Carpenter and Trumbull are thoroughly prepared, and though the former is expected to make the great est argument of the controversy, a principal point of it will be that un der the statutes of Louisiana creating the Returning Board the power to canvass the votes for Presidential i Electors is not given them, and it should therefore have been done by the Governor and other officers named as canvassers under a proper law. The leading Democrats held a con ference to-night to discuss the situa tion and arrange their tactics for the future. It is believed tbey have changed their views. Perhaps they ; . may conclude if Louisiana is given to Hayes by a party vote in the Electo ral Commission to object to the vote of every State that comes up after wards, so as to' prevent a decision of the controversy before the 4th of March, and thereby force A NEW ELECTION IN DECEMBER. The time is so limited this is entire ly practicable, as the houses must se parate and discuss for two hours every such case. Under this state of things the President of the Senate would hold over, and would be acting Pres ident until his successor is elected on fckTh of March, and that successor would probably be Morton or Sher man. ' ' Bayard's cheerfulness is very ap parent, and Abbott and Thurman are hopeful. tJ A new case of ineligibility in Lou isiana has been quietly worked up, and it may stagger Judge Bradley in spite of his bitterly Republican wife and Morton's and Garfield's bulldoz ing. It is positively asserted that Joseph, Republican elector in Louisi ana, served a term of three years in the penitentiary for burglary. 1 Richmond Whit? Special. 1 Washington, Feb. 9. Louisiana presents some issues that . could not and did not arise in the Florida case, but the drift of the ut terances of the Republicans was to take a groifhd on which they in every ' case can count the disputed votes for Hayes. j f. The House of Representatives a'nd Senate will meet to-day to consider the report and decision. There will be a lively, and possibly a bitter de bate in each House, but the Senate will sustain the commission by nearly a party vote, and the dissent of the House of Representatives will not avail. At present the chances are that fraud will make the next President. L. Q. W. Raleigh Observer Special. 1 Washington, Feb. 9. The Commission will report Florida to-morrow for Hayes. Strict party vote. We are sanguine on points yet to come. , . J. J. Davis. Petersburg Index-Appeal. Washington, Feb. 9. Messrs. Trumbull and Carpenter, the counsel for. Louisiana, express themselves as confident of being able to present four law points against the legality of both the organization and authority of the Returning Board to canvass the electoral vote under the laws of Louisiana. The constitution of that State makes the Secretary of State the only returning officer, and the law creating the Board is silent as to its right to canvass the electoral vote. G. C. W. Wilgon Express: We are glad to learn, as we do from many of our farm ers, that wheat is looking well since the snow. With a favorable spring more of this commodity will be made in this section than ever before. VOL. XIXJ-NO. 117. Spirits Turpentine; Hog two years old 444 lbs. James Dent Louisburg. I .

I i Wilson Advance : Mr. McKeel informs us that in his) neighborhood a pa triotic mother gave birth to three children within ten months, and that another mother has done still better and produced five within twelve months triplets atone time, and eleven months thereafter, twins. . Salisbury Watchman : The kind-hearted, considerate Aldermen have provided a bed in th "boose" for the ac commodation of poor, indigent,' lazy, worthless tramps. We may expect a good ly number in our midst in future,-especially as there is a prospect for free lodging. Raleigh Neys : A diagram of the route of the proposed New River Canal was hnng upon the! wall of the Senate chamber yesterday. (The mouth of Upper Goose Creek is nowhere visible, but Augo la Bay, Hollow Shelter Swamp and Big Wild Cat Poeosin stand out in bold relief. Wilson Advance: We learn that several persons in this section are itching with the Texas fever.j We ask them to just make up their minds to stay where they are and read some of the fruits that must needs blossom out as soon as the sun ; of reform shall shine out from its heaven of right and justice. ; - ),,( Charlotte Observer: When our informant left Concord last night Ritch had just eaten his twenty-seventh partridge. It is not known whether, he retained it or not. He says that now he would not bet a nickel that he can get through with the others. He has accomplished !many notable gastro nomic feats, but thinks he will have to give upon this. j . i ' The Salisbury Examiner says: Tramps are a great nuisance. One called at Mr. D. A. Miller's last Sunday morning and begged for clothes. He then went to Mr. P. A. Oowan's house. , Mr. 6. thought he was able to work, and asked him if he was not. Thereupon' the tramp became fu rious and cursed and! abused Mr. Gow.an scandalously. . .)'-- North Carolinian: We are pleased to learn that there is an increasing disposition and determination among our farmers to diversify their crops. This is right Those who do so will succeed that is if they cultivate well. . Let there be no skimming of surface no half work. Let what is done be well done. This is 'one of the secrets of good crops. Charlotte Observer: The work in the Rudisill mine is now reaching an in teresting point Much money has been ex pended in purchasing the machinery, which includes three engines and an improved stamp mill, and those! who have invested in it are anxiously awaiting to test the value of the mine. Mr. Richardson, who is su perintending the work, is confident that it will prove a splendid success. ! TSJED CITY. MEW ADVERTISE111ENT8. Geo. Myers Low prices. ; Munson & Co.

" Bobbed and nnrdered. ; A correspondent, writing us from Tim monsville, S. C, under date of Friday, February 9th, says: "This morning, about day, Mr. Wm. T. Hill, of this place, was aroused 'by his dogs j barking, and as he went out of his back steps was shot through the head and instantly killed. j His corn house was found broken open and robbed. We are in a great state of excitement, as this is the third person killed here lately." WILMINGTON, Local Deti, , There- hare been no interments in Oakdalc Cemetery for the two weeks end ing yesterday. ' ' . Therwere three alarms, of : firs from 9 o'clock Friday night to 8. o'clock ytsterday morning. t - - ! - ; Shad were quite plentiful in mar ket yesterdapyj and retailed at from 0Ocents to $125 per pair. ! - Considerable improvement has been made in the internal arrangements of the Sheriff's office. : i i The Wilmington Light Infantry will have a full'dress parade on Tuesday afternoon, at 4 o'clock. " j There was only one interment in Pine Forest (colored) Cemetery during the past week, and that was a child. We regret .to learn : that; Mr. H. Bowden has suffered a relapse and is again quite ill, though it is hoped not seri ously so. -. i : ' The Register of Deeds issued eight marriage licenses during the past week, two of which were for white and six for colored couples. j Tickets for admission to Prof. Hartley's entertainment to-morrow night at Masonic Hall, can be had at Heinsberger's and at the Library. Rising barometer, stationary or lower temperature, northeast to northwest winds, and partly cloudy weather, are the indications for this section to-day. A fine residence is to be erected by Mr. R. C. Orrell on the southeast corner of Third and Red Cross streets, in place of the old building which has been torn down: We are pleased to note the pop ularity of our naval stores inspectors.some four or five of whom have been nominated by their respective wards for the position of magistrates. This day one thousand three hundred and eight years ago the Turks, who have lately been figuring so much in our telegraphic columns, were first men tioned in history. ;The case of George Poisson, which was to have been heard before Jus tice Gardner, yesterday, was postponed un til to-morrow j morning, on account of the absence of material witnesses. Asa matter of information to the many witnesses and others interested, hereabouts, we would state that Brunswick Superior Court will open on Monday, the 26th ihst, two; weeks from to-morrow. Mr. Henry Schulken, merchant, corner of Fourth and Walnut streets, re ceived the nomination for magistrate ' in the Third Ward, and not his son, Mr. C. H. Schulken, !of the firm of Petteway & Schulken, as erroneously stated. We neglected to mention in our last that an alarm of fire was souoded Fri day morning, about 8 o'clock, and the en gines turned out, but it was found to origi nate from the burning of some grape vines at the corner of Fourth and Ann streets. No'damage. From the number of new mag istrates selected by the various Ward Clubs who are engaged in business on Water street,1 it will probobly be almost impossi ble to get up a; first-class "scrimmage" on the wharf after they shall have qualified and entered upon the discharge of their duties. .1 Dramatic and Dialect Personation. Prof. J. W. Hartiey will give one of his popular entertainments at Masonic Hall, under the auspices of the Wilmington Li brary Association, on to morrow (Monday evening, commencing at 8 o'clock. Prof. Hartiey comes to our city with the highest recommendations and the most flattering testimonials of popular favor from a dis criminating public in our own and other States. In Raleigh, where he gave several entertainments, he was greeted with crowd ed houses, and as a mark of appreciation he was cordially endorsed by the Governor and other distinguished citizens. The va rious schools also manifested much inter est in the performances. In Newbern, also, the Professor met with very flattering suc cess, and as one mark of appreciation he was voted an honorary member of the Newbern Grays," a militaryorganization. The press in both of these cities, as well as elsewhere, refer to his entertainments in terms of very decided approval and com mendation, j We hope to see a good house at Masonic Hall to-morrow evening. A Petrified Shell. We examined, yesterday, a petrified muscle, with the shell complete and per fectly natural, except as to color, including ridges, which was dug: up at the depth of twenty feet below the surface of the ground at the "Magnolia Tree," on the Cape Fear river, where parties are engaged in getting rock, for the government works below the city. The shell, which, with the exception of its shape, has the appearance and weight of a solid rock, was presented to Capt Walter Furlong by the fireman of the steamer Royal Arch, who has three more just like it, dug up from the same spot. Steallnea Canary Ulrdand Case. Yesterday afternoon a cage, containing a canary bird,' was stolen from the resi dence of Mr. W. M. Hayes, on Seventh, between Mulberry an d Walnut streets. Mra H., during her husband's absence, left the house for a few moments, and upon return ing found that the bird and cage had been taken off the piazza. N. C, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1877. THe Fire Yesterday. aiornlns. The alarm of fire yesterday morning, be tween 2 and 3 o'clock, was caused by the burning of three frame houses on Front, between Queen and Wooster streets.: The fire originated on the premises of Officer S. F. Walcott, of the police force, "and was first discovered by J. K. Davis, colored, who lives close by. Davis says he was aroused by a strange rumbling, crackling sound, and went to the door to see what caused it, when he discovered that Mr. Walcott's house was in a light blaze. He gave the alarm, and, with others who gath ered quickly at the Bpot, aroused Mr. Wal cott and his family, who had barely time to escape from the burning building,' saving nothing but what they had on their persons, except an overcoat and vest which Mr. W. snatched up as he fled before the rapidly spreading flames, the latter containing hie watch. , The fire, which raged with unusual fierceness-soon spread to the adjoining buildirigs.the one on the si?uth side owned and occupied by a colored, woman ' by the name of Jane Cowan, and the one on the north side owned by . Mayor Canaday and occupied by Mr. W. A. Snell, both of which were" quickly consumed. Mr. Wal cott lost everything, including furniture, clothing, &c, with the exception stated. He had an insurance, in the London-and Liverpooland Globe, represented by Messrs. J. W. Gordon & Bro. , of $600 on his house and $300 on his furniture. The house own ed and occupied by Jane Cowan was in sured for f 500 in the Virgina Home, re presented by Messrs. Atkinson & Manning, and the house owned by Mayor Canaday was insured for $400 in the Howard of New York, represented by Messrs. Taylor & Giles. The parties occupying the two lat ter houses succeeded in saving nearly all of their furniture. The house occupied by J. K. Davis caught fire, but the flames were extinguish ed without damage. The fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary, the evidence of which was dis covered on the north side of the building of Mr. Walcott while it was burning, so, we are informed. '. ' Stolen Goods. Yesterday morning Mr. Marsden Ballamy, who has been absent from- the city, called at the Marshal's office and identified a coat and pair of pants, taken, among other things, from the hut of Geo. Brown alias George Poisson, one of the thieves recently captured at Thornbury, near this city, and which were stolen from Mr. Bellamy's resi dence a t the time it was broken into some weeks ago. There is a large bundle of clo thing takes from the same place now in the custody of Marshal Price, awaiting persons to come forward and identify them, among which may be mentioned a piece of white cloth, bearing the mark of M. Katz, a pair of fine pillow cass, several pairs of pants, a number of vests, a fine broadcloth coat, without mark, &c. Capt. Fitzgerald will take pleasure in showing them to 'per sons who may desire to examine them. An Eccentric Countryman. j A white man, hailing from the country, stopped his carlf in front of Mr. H. P. West's store, yesterday morning, dismount ed and went in, purchased a gallon of ke rosene oil, and, without paying for it, jumped into his cart again and drove' off. The colored porter, who let him have the oil, started after him and got a cursing for his pains. A couple of officers then tried their luck with the eccentric individual and were also cuised and abused, but they brought him back; nevertheless, and con veyed him to the guard house. Finally, however, he cooled down, begged pardon of the officers, paid for the oil, which had considerable effect on the ."troubled wa ters," and was told to "go and sin no more," after forking over the costs. I ; Accident and Narrow Escape. Mr. Oliver Styron met with quite an ac cident yesterday morning, which may also be termed a very narrow escape. ' He jumped from the train while in motion as it was passing the spot where the Union depot was formerly located, when he fell, striking the track and bruising bis head and legs considerably and rendering him for a time insensible. He finally managed, with the assistance of a colored man, in making his way home, when a physician was sent for, the wound on his head sewed up and the proper remedies applied to his other bruises. He says he will run no more such risks for the sake of a "short cut." A Screw Loose. We have been informedlhat on Satur day morning, on the burning of Mr. Wal cott's residence, the alarm of fire was given some time before the Market House bell was rung, naturally causing the inquiry as to the whereabouts of the four or five po licemen who are usually kept on duty on the three or four blocks in the immediate vicinity of that building; and again, on Sa turday morning, about 8 o'clock, the cry of fire was shouted for at leasl ten or fifteen minutes, at a less distance than a block from the market, and that bell was not rung, notwithstanding the cries of fire, the running of the firemen, the ringing of other bells, and one steam fire engine passing that building, which evidently shows that system or something else is needed in this particular. ss fc. The Committee or Twenty. At the meeting of the Committee of Twenty, held at the Court House last night, the two bills to be sent to the Legislature, respecting city affairs, were adopted sub stantially as reported, with a few trifling amendments. The bills, we learn, will be promptly forwarded to Raleigh and sub mitted to the consideration of the General Assembly. ' Star Another PIre. Yesterday morning, about 7 o'clock, the alarm of fire was again sounded, and the "Old Dominion," represented by Major J.: A. Byrne, in which the property was in sured, made a narrow escape from loss by the destructive element It seems that a spark from the fire-place in the house of Mr. J. C. Bailey, on the northwest corner of Third and Nun streets, occupied by Mr. Johnson Hopkins, fell upon a bed distant some three or four feet, upon which there was a large amount of bed clothing, which became ignited,, and the inflammable ma terial was soon in a light blaze, which reached to the ceiling. The family, upon discovering the fire, which threatened to speedily envelope the building, gave the alarm; but in the meantme Mr. Hopkins' daughter, about 14 years of age, rushed for a bucket of water, and through her' well directed efforts the flames were soon sub dued. The bed, clothing and mattress were almost entirely consumed. The en gines, &c, were promptly on the spot, but fortunately in this case they were not needed. Miss Itlary. Anderson This talented young lady, who is univer sally conceded to be a most graceful and accomplished young tragedienne, will make her first appearance at the Opera House in this city on Friday evening next, the 16th inst., under the management of Mr. John T. Ford, in the popular Shakespearian love tragedy ofsRomeo and Juliet, supported by a talented array of artists, and in which Miss Anderson is said by the Louisville Courier-Journal to excel every living actress. Alluding to this brilliant young dramatic artist the Montgomery Advertiser and Mail says: "Miss Mary Anderson, the finest Ameri can actress on the stage, will pay Montgo mery a visiton next Friday and remain two nights. She is a young Kentucky girl, still in her teens, who made her debut in Louis ville a year ago, and who has since risen to the dignity of a dramatic star of the first magnitude. Her career has been one con tinued success, and each appearance has won new laurels for her fair brow. Select ing such characters as Juliet, Macbeth, Lady of Lyons, Evadne and others for her repertoire, she excels in them all fibers who have recently appeared on the American stage. Without lineage, she has achieved the finest nobility, and with no other pres tige than her genius she has hewn her way to a fame which places her in the catalogue with Siddons and Ristori. ' She is a genu ine Southern girl, and withal, very pretty." Thermometer Record. !
