A private dispatch received here
to-night by an ex-Representative of
Pennsylvania says : " Cameron has
resigned and Don will succeed him,
and resolutions will be passed sus
taining President Hayes." This sud
den move of Senator Cameron has oc
casioned lively comment in political
administration circles aud pointedly
indicates a better feeling. The pro
posed resolutions sustaining President
Hayes are regarded with some sur
prise, in view of surrounding circum
stances. It may be noted, as a mat
ter of history, that the administra -tion
of President Polk was hostile to
Simon Cameron, then a Democratic
Senator. When the nominations of
Woodward for the Supreme Court,
and Horn for Collector of Customs at
Philadelphia were sent to the Senate
(both antagonistic to Mr. Cameron's
he defeated them both
ncainst the whole power of the Ad
ministration. These facts will add
zest to the conflict if pursued.
The formal transfer of the State,
Treasury, Interior and Postoffice De
partments took place yesterday. The
Secretary of War and Attorney-
General took charge without the
usual ceremonies, in consequence of
Don Cameron and Judge Taft having
left the oity on Saturday last. The
latter went to Columbus to-look after

THE PRESIDENT IGNORES THE OLD AD
j MINISTRATION RELIGIOUS SERVICES.
Sunday the new President and his
family initiated another reform by
ignoring the old administration reli
gious services under Dr. Newman,
and bending their steps to the Foun
dry Methodist Church. Here it so
happened that the preacher who made
the sermon was the Rev, Dr. Dun
can, ex-President of Randolph Ma
con College, Virginia, which college
is under the control of the Methodist
Church South, and Dr. Duncan was
one of the commissioners who accom
plished the reconciliation of the two
branches of this church a few years
ago. This faot may have been a mere
coincidence, but it is regarded as al
most of political significance, now
that the South's reconciliation is the
most prominent feature in politics.
Senator Cameron is reported as fol
lows : The old gentleman gave his
reasons to-night for this action as fol
lows : I am seventy -eight years old,
and have been in public life enough,
and am tired. I have meditated this
step ior a year, ana now ao not re-
sign in any spirit of anger toward the
Administration. I shall give the Pre
sident my cordial support. I hope he
may suoceed, but tear he will not,

lowing from the report of the Comp
troller of lennessee, as bearing upon
the subject: "While tho dog law has
received manv execrations, it has
been a considerable source of reve
nue to the State, having yielded for
the vear 1875 a net revenue of about
$120,000. At the same time it has
been death to the dogs, as it will be
ascertained by a comparison of the
tax aggregates for the years 1875 and
'76 that it has caused about 35,000
dogs to be killed in one year."

The concert.
The Sacred Concert, given last night by
the Front street Methodist Sunday School,
was a most delightful and interesting enter
tainment. The exercises, consisting of
songs, duets, choruses, &c, were well se
lected and beautifully rendered. The ex
ercises were opened by an earnest and ap
propriate prayer by the Rev. .J. E. Mann,
followed by the entire school singing the
song of "Welcome to All" the vast con
course of people that filled every seat and
foot of standing room in the house. Then
came "Little Angel Reapers" gathering up
the sheaves. The solo, as sung by little
Alice Garrell, in itself sweet beyond de
scription was made doubly so by her ex
pressive countenance and sweet voice, ac
companied by the organ played by little
Mattie Murray, who performed her part as
one of older years.
Tho trio, "Lead us and we'll follow
on," was well rendered.
Chorus, with solo, led by two little girls
three years old Misses Bowden and King
showed how the infant mind can be
trained.
Solo and quartette, "Holy Father," solo
by Miss Chadwick, was very sweet and
charmingly rendered.
' The Christian Graces," representing
Faith, Hope and Charity, with the assisting
virtues, was one of the most beautiful things
we have ever seen. While Faith clang to
the Cross, Hope threw out its anchor and
pointed heavenward, Charity o'erspread its
gracious nanus, and Experience placed
the crown on the head of Patience.
"The Humming Song" came "soft float
ing in the air," reminding us of distant
worshippers in God's Temple.
Duet "Gently Lord, O gently lead us"
sang by Mrs. Poisson and Mrs. Bowden,
The selection was grand and beautiful, and
had its full power and sweetness brought
out by the sweet and cultivated voices of
the singers.
"God, the Father of us all" solo and
quartette solo by Mrs. Bowden, was ad
mirably rendered.
"Guide me," as sung by the full choir,
with solo by the organist, was one of the
most beautiful pieces we have ever heard,
and was rendered with charming effect
There were many other choruses du
ring the exercises, all of which were well
received, showing the skill and manage
ment of those under whom they have been
trained. We would not forget to mention
the solo and chorus, "That Home," solo
by Miss Dinnie Bowden, who has a clear,
fine voice, and sang charmingly.
The Superintendent, Mr. Wm. M. Park
er, and Mr. 11. M. Bowden, under whose
immediate care and training the school has
been prepared for this entertainment, de
serve special commendation for their suc
cessful efforts, i
Mrs. Poisson, the organist, and many
others deserve mention, but space will not
permit.
We hope to have the pleasure of witness
ing many more entertainments of this kind
and would suggest a repetition of the same
at an early day.
Tbo Fire Yesterday Morning.
The loss of W. H. Moore, colored, whose
dwelling house and office were destroyed
by fire yesterday morning, between 2 and
S o'clock, a brief account of which ap-
w
peared in our paper, is estimated at $1,000,
which was covered by insurance in the
Hamburg-Bremen, represented in this city
by Messrs. J. W. Gordon & Bro. His fur
niture, which was also insured, was all
saved.
Mr. . Peschau, whose residence was in
close proximity to the burning buildings,
made a very narrow escape. The root near
the gable-end of the house next to the fire
caught and was getting under pretty good
headway, notwithstanding the efforts of
persons on the roof, who plied their buck
ets with all possible zeal, but just at the
critical moment the Little Giant got a stream
on the roof and quickly outed the flames,
after which it played alternately ou the
burning buildings and the house which had
so narrowly escaped. The other engines
also soon got streams on the fire and it was
brought speedily under complete control.
Mr. Peschau had removed all of his furni
ture, il Oi

The Wilmington Light Infantry.
This company did not parade yesterday
afternoon as had been announced, for sev
era! reasons. We are glad to note that se
cessions are being made to its ranks at
every meeting, and we urge upon the mem
bers the necessity of -that "esprit de corps"
which will keep the command up to what
it has been in the' past, and is to-day. We
feel assured that none of our business men
object to allowing their clerks one evening
iu each month for parade, and we would
impress upon the members of the company
that every effort should be made by them
to appear on the monthly parades for the
credit of the corps, as the public will judge
by their appearance on the street as to the
merits of the company. Members ! verbum

Committed on tne Charge of Stealing
Money.
Ida Evans, a colored girl about 12 or 13
years of age, was arrested yesterday on the
charge of the larceny of a sum of money,
the property of Mr. Jacob Steren. i It ap
pears from the evidence given before! Jus
tice Gardner's court, before whom the girl
was taken for preliminary examination,
that the mother of the accused was employ
ed by Mr. Sterne to do his washing; that
on Sunday morning last, before lie had got
ten out of bed, the girl came to bring his
week's washing; that he got out of bed to
admit her into his room, leaving a pocket
book under his pillow, which contained
various bills of money scattered through
it, and among the rest a ten dollar note,
amounting altogether to twenty-eight dol
lars; that the girl remained in the loom for
some considerable time, while he was (look
ing after his clothing, and then took her de
parture, shortly after which he took tue
book from under his pillow and locked it
up in his trunk. On Monday morning a
friend called upon him to give him a ten
dollar bill for a like amount in silver, wheu
be unlocked his trunk, took out his pocket
book to get the bill and it was gone. Know
ing that it must have been stolen, and
remembering the presence of the girl in his
room the previous morning, he sent a op-7
lored youth in his employ to watch , the
movements of Ida Evans. He found her
down town spending money pretty freely,
buying candy at one place, a doll at an
another, and various other articles at divers
and sundry places, all of which she paid
for, taking the money out of her bosom.
Finally, in pursuing the investigation, it
was found that she had, early on Monday
morning, called at the store of Mr. John
Gerdts with a small paper box, in which,
she had a ten dollar bill, and which, at her1
request, he changed for her. It was also
shown in evidence that the mother of an
other girl with whom Ida had been seen at
play that very morning, had called at Mr.
G.'s store with a five dollar bill, which he
(Mr. G.) was quite confident was one of the
bills he had given the accused in exchange
for the tea dollar note.
On this testimony, which was entirely
circumstantial, but still very pointed and
convincing, Justice Gardner required. the
girl, Ida Evans, to give a justified bond in
the sum of $100 for her appearance at the
next term of the Snperior Court, in default
of which she was committed to jail.
An Official Fight
That was what might be called an official
fight in the First Ward, Monday night,
there being engaged in the 'fray, in one
way and another, a Superior -Court Clerk
and Judge of Probate, an Alderman of the
city, a City Marshal, a Custom House offi
cer, esc. it was represented as quite a live

Eliza Hart and Jane Davis, both colored,
were before Justice Gardner yesterday
morning on the charge of being engaged in

the payment of costs.

Fifth Ward Clnb.
A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
Fifth Ward Club took place last night at
the Bucket Company's Hall.
A resolution was adopted, declaring S.
H. Fishblate, Esq., of the Fourth Ward,
the gentleman who the" citizens of the
Fifth Ward nominate as their candidate
for Alderman, according to the under
standing and arrangements made by the
representatives of the several wards of the
city, in meeting assembled, that the Fifth
Ward should have the right to nominate
-one of the Aldermen of the Fourth Ward.
Messrs. W. H. Goodman and J. H. K1an
der were declared the nominees of the
Fifth Ward for Aldermen.
The following resolutions were adopted s
RESOLUTIONS OF INDIGNATION.
Resolved, 1st, That we have seen with sur
prise and indignation the act of the Legis
lature putting us again under the rule of
negro magistrates, the principal evil of
Radical rate, from which we had a right to
suppose we would be relieved, and which
was promised us during the campaign. We
hereby denounce the authors and abettors
of this wanton insult to ourselves and fami
lies, and promise never to aid one of them
politically, nor recognize him socially again.
Resolved, d. That we will never again
support any candidate for office whose
every public act has not been to elevate the
white people of North Carolina, and to ob
literate Radical dominion in either munici
pal, county, State or national elections.
Resolved, 3d, That inasmuch as we have
been under negro rule for the last ten or
twelve years, and by the exertions of every
white man in North Carolina, through a
long and heated campaign, adopted for
ourselves a constitution which gives to our
so-called Democratic Legislature the power
to relieve us of the burdens Of Radical rule;
and our Legislature above referred to hav
ing willfully ignored the wishes of the ma
jority of the white people by appointing
negro magistrates ior tne city of Wilming
ton, notwithstanding the number of pro
tests which went up to the Legislature
against any such appointments, compels us,
therefore, to adopt ID CSC resolutions of in
dignation' J :islM
Resolved, 4th, That the thanks of the white
people of the Fifth Ward be tendered to
the gentlemen of this city who sent vari
ous telegrams and other protestations to the
Legislature, against the wanton insult which
the Legislature were about to, and did, in-
force upon us by appointing the negro Ma
gistrates. Resolved, oth, That the thanks of this meet
ing be tendered to those members of the
Legislature and other gentlemen in Ra
leigh wno used their influence to "prevent
toe appointment of the negro Magistrates
bv the Legislature.
Resolved, Wi, That a copy of these reso
lutions be sent to The Morning Star and
Review, with a request that they be publish
ed as a true sentiment df the white voters
