The suspension of the Journal, the proprietor's announcement of which is printed elsewhere in this issue of the Stab, is another evidence that it is utterly impossible to do business successfully without a proper regard for the law of supply and demand. The Journal hsie not failed from want of capacity, earnest work or faithful attention on the part of the recent management ; but it has failed sim ply because Wilmington will not sup port two morning papers. The proprietor of the Journal has shown a degree of energy worthy the highest success ; but no amount of capacity, capital and energy will make a newspaper succeed if the field it enters is already fully occupied. Latest By Mail. WMBlaetn city Notes. special to Petersburg Index-Appeal. Washington, March 2. Several appropriation bills have been passed, including the army bill, which provides that it is a nullity in case troops are used in the Southern States to bolster the carpet-bag go vernments. Impression is that all legislation will be gotten through with, and that there will be uo extra session. Grant ihas called an extra session of the Senate. Hayes arrived this morning in Tom Scott's private car. He was at the Capital to show, like Sheridan, that he was "not afraid." He is the guest ot Senator Sherman, who is to be Secretary of the Treory. There have been large numbers calling on him to-night. Several police are sta tioned at the boose. On Monday the office grab will be gin, and it remains to be seen whe ther civil service will prevail. The National Democratic Commit tee meet at 12 o'clock to-morrow, and will elect another chairman. Boss Shepherd is organizing de raocstrations for the inauguration, which shows how the wind blows. It is is rumored to-ni ht that La mar will have trouble abont his seat. Field's quo warranto bill was lost in the House to-night, the Democrats voting with the Radicals again. G. C. W. Special to Norfolk Landmark. Washington, March 2. Mr, Hill called oa Hayes this morn ing. There is i nettled gloom in Wasb ingtoa. ' j,. The river and harbor appropriation bill was defeated to-day. f Chasseur. Special to Richmond Whig. Washington, March 2. Tbe struggle for the Cabinet be comes fiercer as the crowd increases. Some names appear to be pretty well settled, snob as Evarts for Secretary of State, John Sherman for Secre tary of tbe Treasury, and Hale, tf Maine, for Secretary of the Navy. Carl Sohurz is also quite positively named by the knowing ones for the Cabinet. A fight is being made for Judge Settle, of North Carolina, lately appointed district judge in Florida, and it may win. I hear nor thing said of Bristow now. The President's orders to General Augur in respect to the poli tical sit uation, of which I have advised year readers in previous dispatches, were telegraphed this afternoon, but not until a fierce struggle had been made The VOL, XIX. NO. 135. by Messrs. Morton, Boutwell, Howe, and the carpet-baggers to prevent this important step being taken. The Republicans appear to be hay ing their own share of divisions, one set insisting on holding on to the carpet-baggers and upholding Packard and Chamberlain, and the other set, headed by Foster and Stanley Ma thews, urging that it is time to aban don these fellows to their fate. It is said to night that Hayes is fixed on his Southern policy, what ever that may be. I think it is some nebulous idea of liberality to the South floating in his brain, the pre sidential outcome of which is to be office for such Southerners as may be willing to go over to the Radicals. This does not involve any striking change from Grant's policy of re warding recreants. As to anything further, the fact that John Sherman is to be the ruling spirit of the Ad ministration does not warrant any confident hopes of improvement. So far as offices are concerned I know of no prominent Southern Democrat who would accept a place in Hayes' Cabinet. Q. W. The Legislature. Raleigh Observer's report, condensed. SENATE.

A colored couple named John Rogers and Judy Smith were married in Bruns wick county on Thursday night last, and on Friday the couple were called upon by one Calob Loftin, who claimed the bride, saying that he had previously bought tbe necessary license to marry the woman. Loftin was exceedingly indignant at the action of tbe matrimonial returning board in counting him out, and insisted so strong ly upon a revocation of the si -nd a canvass in his favor that at last accounts Rogers was trying to get some magistrate to untie the knot, being afraid from the dire tnreaiB oi ma rivai iu tun nuwuum w mo dusky Dulcina that he had possibly allowed himself to get Into serious trouble. Morning Local Dots. See fourth page for Church Di rectory. Regular meeting of the County Commissioners to morrow. There were three deer butchered in ibis market during the week. On this day, in the year of our Lord G74, glass was first used in England. To-day is known in the reli gious calendar as the 3rd Sunday in Lent. The Mayor's Court was again without any cases for investigation yester day morning. Shad were quite plentiful in market yesterday and sold at from 50 cents to $1 per pair.. A bill to establish a Board of Health for this city passed its several read ings in the Senate on Friday night. Our edition of the Star for city circulation alone, this morning, numbers ope thousand and twenty-five copies. We learn that a flat loaded with wood sunk near the upper jetties during the storm Friday morning, but the crew es caped. The Register of Deeds issued only two marriage licenses during the past week, one for white and one for colored couples. There were three interments in Pine Forest (colored) during tbe past week, of which one was an adult and two were children. Dr. J. E. Winants, who has been very ill with the pneumonia for the past two weeks, was able to be out again yesterday. Warmer southerly winds, rising or stationary barometer and partly cloudy or clear weather, are the indications for this section to-day. j We learn that chicken thieves are on the rampage north of the Wilming ton & Weldon Railroad. Their depreda tions are of nightly occurrence. We think the readers of the Star get more than their money's worth to-day in the 17 columns of reading matter furnished for their entertainment. A "scrimmage" on the wharf yes terday afternoon created considerable ex citement for a few minutes. One of tbe parties was considerably bruised. A party from Fender was before U. S. Commissioner Cassidey, yesterday, on the charge of violating the Internal Rev enue laws, but tbe case was dismissed. I The Schr. Snow Storm, Capt. Beery, which .arrived here yesterday, brought 1,500 bushels of very fine sweet po tatoes, raised at the Straits, Carteret county. A portion of the cargo will be resbipped to Charleston. We learn that one hundred guns will be fired at the foot of Market street to morrow, commencing at 12 o'clock, in hon or of the inauguration of Returning Board Hayes. The4ring will be under the direc tion of Oeo. L. Mabson. Some of onr carriers in the Southern portion of the city complain that they are frequently in great peril of being bitten by vicious canines when they go to deliver papers. In the language of the im mortal C. W. W., "Chain up your dogf ' We learn that the sidewalks on both sides of Fourth street, in the northern section of the city, are in such a condition after every rain that people have to leave them and take to tbe street. A few cart loads of sand sprinkled over the clay would make a great improvement and render the pavements of some use in wet weather. The attention of the "City Fathers" is.calb ed to this matter. miaftlon Sunday Schools. Through the agency of Rev. Q. 8. Jones, in charge of the Missionary Department of the American Sunday School Union in North Carolina, ninety-one schools have been organized and aided during the past twelve months. Over six hundred copies of bibles and testaments bave been distribu ted among needy schools. Mr. Jones is now entering upon tbe tenth year of his la bors in this noble Christian enterprise, and it is particularly gratifying to know that quite a number of evangelical churches bave grown out of mission schools planted in localities hitherto destitute of gospel privileges. Committed for Trial, Henry Boone, the colored "preacher," was taken from jail yesterday morning for the purpose of having a preliminary exam iuation before Justice Gardner on the charge of breaking into and robbing the kitchen attached to St. James Mission Home. The evidence was very conclu sive as to the guilt of the prisoner, and he was thereupon ordered to give a justified bond in the sum of $300 for his appearance at tbe next term of the Superior Court, in default of which he was remanded to jail. Robbed. H The house of a colored woman living on Brunswick, between Fourth and Fifth streets, was entered on Thursday night and robbed of $36 in money. Entrance was effected through a window, which was prised open during the absence of the wo man. The thief then went to the clock, took a key to a trunk therefrom, unlocked the trunk, abstracted the' money, returned the key to its1 place and retired, .closing the window after him. A very careful, con siderate and accommodating thief ! Star Tbe New City BIU. On the third page of this morning's issue of the Star we print the bill entitled "A Bill to Organize a Government for the City of Wilmington," as it'passed tbe House and was referred back to tbe Senate for concurrence in some trifling amendments, as to change of dates, &c. It will be seen by this bill that elections for Aldermen are to be held biennially, or every two years, on the fourth Thursday in March, the Al dermen elected this year, however, not to eater upon the discharge of their dutiesun til the first day of June ensuing. The Registrars for the various wards are required to open their books for the regis tration of voters on the 5th day of March, or as soon as practicable after the ratifica tion of the act in question, the Registrars being named in the bill. The offices of Marshal and Assistant Mar shal are abolished by the new bill, the prin. cipal executive officer of tbe city to be hereafter styled "Chief of Police," who, in addition the duties now performed by the Chief of Police, shall be vested with all the powers and perform all tbe duties now imposed on the Marshal. , It is very important that the books for the registration of voters should be opened as soon as possible, as the law requires them to be closed on the third Wednesday in March, and the attention of the various Registrars is called to the fact The books are to be kept open each day from 9 o'clock in the morning until 6 in the afternoon, and no registration will be valid unless made within the hours prescribed. Agalu Suspended. The Journal, which was suspended last October, and which was revived by Mr. Cicero W. Harris in January, has again suspended publication. We give the an nouncement in full: "Our Last Issue. We are compelled this morning by force of circumstances to suspend the Journal The publication of a daily newspaper in the South, at best, is attended by hardships such as are not felt in any other business. The daily paper re quires a great outlay of money every week to meet its expenses. This has to be cash. There can be slight if any indulgence. We have done our best with the limited means at our command. We can go no further. The Journal is discontinued because there is no reserve capital with which to run it until the amounts due on its subscriptions and advertisements can be collected. The business of tbe paper has steadily increased from the day of its reissue. We feel, there fore, an intensified sadness in doing this our duty of closing the career of the Jour nal under our management In more pros perous times, and in the hands of those who have the necessary capital, the paper may be made what it once was in business and influence." Mortuary. For tbe two months commencing with the first of January there have been only eight interments in Oakdale Cemetery, one of which was that of a still-born infant, the ages of the parties being 76, 68, 53, 50, 49, 45 and 6 years, respectively. There was only one interment in Belle vue Cemetery for the same period, not in cluding removals. There has been but one interment (than of a still-born infant) in Oakdale Cemetery for the past five weeks. Democratic meeting. Messrs. C. H. Robinson, Chairman of the City Democratic Executive Committee, and D. G. Worth, President of tbe Central Club, give notice that there will be a meet ing of .the Democrats of Wilmington, at the Court House, on to-morrow (Monday) eve ning, to considers matters of importance in connection with tbe city bills now pending in the Legislature. It is hoped that there will be a full attendance of the Democrats of the various wards at this meeting. Thermometer Record.

A great mystery was that of the unac countable disappearance of Mr. James O'Reilly, who, three years ago this com ing July, left this city for New York, where he was to take passage for Ireland, and who was never heard from by his friends after he left the depot in this city. His trunk, which was sent on in advance, was afterwards returned to this city, with the contents undisturbed. Historical and Scientific Society. The members and invited guests of this society will bear in mind that the regular monthly meeting will be held on Monday night, March 5th, at 8 o'clock, in the lec ture room of the First Presbyterian Church. A full attendance is desired, as an inter esting historical paper will be read and il lustrated, aad also some important busi ness will no doubt be transacted. Board of Aldermen. At a special meeting of the Board of Al dermen, held yesterday afternoon. Mayor Canaday stated that he had received a tele gram during the forenoon, . requiring his presence in tbe western part of the State, and that be would be away from the city for about three days; whereupon Alderman Gardner was elected Mayor pro tem., to act during the absence of Mayor Canaday.
