THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
It is so generaHy rumored on the
streets that there will be an Inde
pendent ticket for Aldermen in tbe
Fourth Ward that we are reluctantly
compelled to accept the report as
true. Who are to be the candidates
we have not definitely heard ; but it
matters not who they are, the move
ment is greatly to be regretted and
ought not to be encouraged.
Now, we do not intend to denounce
any one, whether an Independent
candidate or not; but we do say that
it is the duly of Democrats to support
the regularly nominated ticket,
whether they like the nominees or
not.
The complications existing in our
party here are greatly to be deplored ;
but these fights within the party
ought to be made before the nomi
nating conventions not at tbe polls.
When npt settled before an election,
these difficulties become serious.
They are destructive of party discip
line, and are often tbe beginning of
divisions that ultimately result in
humiliating defeat.
It is claimed, we hear, by those
who favor the Independent move
ment that there will be no Republican
ticket in the Fourth Ward. This,
they say, is guaranteed. But, con
ceding this to be true, it is evident
that the running of two Democratic
tickets must engender bitterness and
bad feeling that will be sure to come
up hereafter, and, perhaps, in an in
tensified form.
We care not how hot, how bitter,
bow determined a contest may be
over, a nomination. But it ought to
end with the nomination, and the
whole party should then unite on tbe
ticket and give it their earnest sap
port. If there are grievances to be
redressed, wait until the next cam
paign, and then go forth, if you
please, with tomahawk and scalping
knife, and see that your rights are
maintained. m ,
It will be very gratifying if, even
at this late period of the canvass,
some arrangement can be made that
will be generally satisfactory to the
Democratic voters of the Fourth
Ward. We would hail it as the bar
binger of future good feeling and
future success. But if the present
status is maintained, we feel it onr
duty to sustain the regular ticket;
for dissension in our party now means
defeat hereafter. And defeat in Wil
mington means ruin.
Bnallsh Opinion on Cotton.
Smith, Edwards & Co., a leading
Liverpool authority on cotton, after
having estimated tb cotton erop firfct
at 4,100,000, and then 4,200)00,now
concedes the probablility of a crop
of 4,500,000 bales. In their circular
of Feb. 28th they say: w w v$
"The American receipts have bewn
much larger than any one anticipated,
and in spite of protestations to the
contrary from America, public opin
ion has settled on four and a half
millions as a fair estimate of the
crop. This figure is not thought too
large."

Washington Notes.
Special to Richmond Dispatch.
Washington, March 16.
The opposition to Fred. Douglass
increases, and is not confined to one
party or color. His friends were ac
tively urging his confirmation to-day.
A half-dozen respectable Irishmen
waited on a Democratic Senator to
secure his influence in favor of Doug
lass, but they met with ill success.
The principal objection to him, ojn
the part of the lawyers, is his lack of
bu siness qualifications tor the office;
and the colored people say he is not a
true representative of their race, be
cause he holds himself above other
black people, and seeks the society of
the whites.
Louisianians here are boasting that,
with the prospect at a withdrawal of
troops when the Senate shall have
adjourned, Nicholls warrants on their
State Treasury have appreciated
twenty per centum Bince yesterday,
and that large tax-pavers are volun
tarily settling up. In one district
$19,700 was paid into the Nicholls
treasury yesterday.
The new civil service rules will be
ready for consideration in the Cabi
net by next week at least. They
will be similar to those undertaken
a few years ago by the commission
of which Geo. W. Curtis was presi
dent. The Next House How the Democrat
Hope to Secure the Organisation.
Special to the Philadelphia Press.
Washington, Mrach 14.
Clerk Adams is now engaged in
compiling tbe roll of the next House
of Representatives. In view of the
prospective contest to secure the or
ganization for the Republicans, it is
ascertained that he will exclude all
Republicans in contested cases, so
that the apparent Democratic ma
jority will stand about seventeen.
Leading Republican members in the
city have been in conference upon
the subject in the hope of devising
some means by which this arbitrary
proceeding may be defeated. They
have decided that it is a question of
such grave importance to the Presi
dent in carrying out his commenda
ble policy of reform and retrench
ment in every branch of the Govern
ment that he should have the full
support of the House if at all practi
cable. A Serious Practical Joke.
Washington, March 15.
A very serious joke was played
upon a colored man namert a nn
this evening by two clerks in John H.
Seaman's grocery store, corner of
Ninth street and" Louisiana avenue,
the result of which is very unpleasant
to all who participated in it. It ap
pears that Bragg has been loitering
about the store for years and that the
clerks frequently played practical
jokes upon him. This evening, while
in the store', one of the clerks poured
some coal oil on his coat. Another
clerk touched a match to it. He im
mediately blazed up and ran into the
street. The clerks smothered up the
flames with their coats, not, however,
until Bragg was seriously burned.
He went to bis home and a physician
was sent for, who had him sent to the
hospital. Bdth of the clerks were
afterwards arrested and required to
give bail in the sum of $3,000 each
for their appearance to-morrow.

Special to the News aud Courier.
Columbia, March 16.
Governor Hampton, for purposes
best known to himself and his advis
ers, is now engaged in organizing a
strong and effective constabulary
force. Me has appointed uoi. vv m.
Butler, of Edgefield, as chief of the
force, which 80 far numbers ntty

Greenville, but now a resident of
Edgefield. He is an ex- ederal and
ex-Confederate army officer, and was
Colonel of the First South Carolina

excellent selection for this responsible
position.

was broken in three different places. The

evidences of ill-treatment.
Rutherfordton Vindicator: The

was but indirectly taxing the farmers, and
for this reason the extra tax should not be

extra tax on his sales, he adds it on his
goods, so that it comes out of the consumer,
the farmer, and the laborer, all.

ST. PATRICK'S BAY. UUV8H. 1
The Celebration of the Bay In the
tty Krtn:e Bragh-The Pr ocea
lam and Ceremonies In Honor of
Ireland's Patron Saint Judge Cant
well's Address, &e.
The (Hibernian Benevolent Association
yesterday celebrated the anniversary of
the birth of inland's Patron Saint In
accordance with the advertisement, the
Association met at 9 o'clock a. m. at Tem
perance Hall, on Third street, opposite the
City Hall, Capt. I. B Grainger in the chair.
After the preliminary business of the meet-
mg had been concluded, the President
stated that the organization had met, in
accordance with their custom, to do honor
to the memory of St, Patrick; whereupon
the organization was turned over to Mr.
Timothy Donlan, Chief Marshal, and
Messrs. W. M. Collins and John McEntee,
Assistant Marshals, and the procession, was
duly formed, headed by the Cornet Con
cert dub, in full uniform, the carriage
containing the orator and members of the
committee bringing up the rear, the mem
bers of the Hibernian Benevolent Associa
tion appearing in their tasty green and
golden regalias.
The procession being formed, the line of
march was taken down Third to Princess,
down Princess to Dock, up Dock to St.
Thomas' Catholic Church, where High
Mass was celebrated by Rev'd Father
Townsend, who, at the conclusion of the
services, delivered a short but appropriate
sermon on the observance of the day, sup -plemented
with a brief though interesting
account of the life of St. Patrick. The ser
mon of the reverend gentleman was tho
roughly appreciated. The services having
come to an end, the procession was again
formed, the line of march being taken as
fellows: up Dock to Fourth street, up
Fourth to Nun, down Nun to Front, up
Front to Red Cross, up Red Cross to Fifth,
up Fifth to Market, down Market to
Fourth, down Fourth to Princess, and down
Princess to the Opera House, where, on the
arrival of the body, a large audience of
ladies and gentlemen had congregated.
The members of the Association having
been seated, the Marshal, Assistant Mar
shals and officers of the Association escort
ed the Hon. Edward Cantwell, the orator
of the day, upon the stage. Here were also
seated the invited guests. Rev. Fathers
Gross and Townsend, Hon. A. M Waddell
and Mr. F. W. Eerchner.
fhe president, Capt. I. B. Grainger, then
introduced the orator, who delivered an
able and appropriate
ORATION,
in which he took occasion to trace the his-
down to the present day. Ireland, he said,
was known to antiquity as Hibernia, or
Winter's Land, and as Scotia, or the land
of tbe Scots. An interesting and minute
description of the geography, soil, climate
and productions of Ireland, together with
its past and present political condition,
formed a great portion of the gentleman's
address. He told of Ireland's past and
faded glories and related some pleasing
legends of the Green Isle. The history of
her kings also occupied much of the. ora
tor's attention. Ireland's Patron Saint was
by no means neglected, for an interesting
and lengthy description of St Patrick
formed a theme upon which the gentleman
touched with a master hand, breathing
much that was pathetic among his remarks.
At the
CONCLUSION
of the address the line was again formed.
the procession moving down Princess to
Third and up Third to Temperance Hall,
where the organization assembled to trans
act their annual business, captain i. ts.
Grainger presiding. The election of offi
cers resulted as follows:
President Capt. L B. GraingerJ re
elected.
Vice President Capt. John Barry, vice
Mr. J. W. Corbett, declined.
Secretarv Mr. Daniel O'Connor, re
elected.
Assistant Secretary Mr. Martin O'Brien.
Treasurer Mr. L. Brown, re elected.
A vote of thanks was then tendered the
orator and the marshals, after which the
meeting adjourned aud the members be
took themselves to the pleasant and agree
able discussion of a choice lot of refresh
ments which had been provided for the oc
casion. While this portion of the day's
exercises was at its height, Mr. F. H
Darby, being called for, responded ! in
stirring address.
Thus concluded the observance of St
Patrick's day, and tbe members of the asso
ciation departed, after having spent a very
successful.

Dnprea & Benedict's minstrels.
Despite the inclement weather, a fair
audience assembled at the Opera House
last evening to witness the performance of
Duprez & Benedict's Minstrels.
The troupe is unusually large and is
really first-class, possessing all the essential
elements, excellent musicians, capital dan
cers, and first-class singers.
"Gathering Shells by the Seashore" was
very sweetly sung by Dnmont, and was de
cidedly the best of the several ballads,
though none were poor.
The "Black Berry Cavalry" was cer
tainly original, and extremely laughable,
as the audience frequently testified.
In the sketch, "Our Boyhood Days," Ed
wards was inimitable; in fact, George H.
was "immense" throughout and never failed
to bring down the house.
Fox and Ward's dancing was excellent;
we rarely having seen better.
In the farce, "One Night in a Medical
College," which was very amusing, West,
Gulick and Edwards Were all good, and
the audience was kept in a roar till the
curtain fell.
We cordially add our endorsement to the
numerous favorable notices they have re- I
ceived elsewhere, and regret that they
give but the one performance in Wilming
ton.
The Clsy Hall Building.
The general dilapidated condition of the
City Hall building, outside and in, is a
source of very general comment, and is cal
culated to give strangers a very unfavora
ble impression of onr public buildings.
Our "City Fathers" have had the subject
of providing for necessary repairs to the
hall before them for consideration at vari
ous times during tbe past five or six years,
and all this while it has been getting from
bad to worse. During the late storm many
of the glass were blown from the windows,
especially on the western front, in one or
more instances the sash being almost literal
ly stripped, and yet, after a lapse of about
two weeks, we find that none of them have
been replaced. At this rate, if the policy
of indifference to the necessary repairs to
the building is persisted in, it will soon be
come to be an absolute disgrace to the city.
We hope for the credit of Wilmington that
the Board of Aldermen will take the matter
into consideration and at least see to it that
the building is put in a presentable condi
tion.
