orning Star. BrWILLIn H. BBBNAKO. WILMINGTON, N. C: Si'Num Mobning, March 18,187V. A CURIOUS (BLINOKITY. Tho Brooklyn Union-Argus refers to the Democratic party as a "power ful minority." A very strange minor ity considering it hah one House of Congress and is not far behind in the Senate. A very curious minority, truly, considering it gave Tilden and Hendricks a popnlar majority of 264, 829, and considering farther that it gave them an aotual electoral majori ty of 23 votes. Whilst noticing the above absurd statement, let us refer for a moment to another misrepresentation of the facts. It is not uncommon for Radi cal papers to assume that the North ern people are overwhelmingly op posed to ttfe Democratic party. They speak, iudeed, aa if that party was so hopelessly in the minority it could never hope to win. Let us look at some figures and facts. In the elec tion held in November, 1876, even in New England, that hot-bed of Radi calism, where the virus exudes from the skin of the "trooly loil" as gum does lrom a peach tree or resin from a pine tree, the vote was as follows Hayes. Connecticut 69,084 Maine 66,300 .Massachusetts 150,063 New Hampshire 41,539 Rhode Islaud. . . 15,787 Vermont 44,092 Tilden. 61,934 49,823 108,777 38.509 10,712 20,254 Totals 376,815 290,009 This is not such a desperate show ing.

It is not an impossible majority to over come. The Democrats appear to be a "powerful minority" even in the centre of Radicalism. 'NORTHERN EMIGRANTS IN THE SOUTH." "If the South has eot any remnants of Lnolitiilinna rr cruJal am ilUwl vr- ana a free press, the sooner she gets rid of them the better. The one thing she cannot afford above all others now is to set up ci ther ar moral or intellectual inspection of people who are inclined to emigrate to her territory. The proportion of disagreeable persons that she is likely to get through the freest of welcomes is not at all great, and even this minority will have a healthy though possibly temporarily irritating influ ence upon ber society. The day has gone by for that society to put on sectional airs and extreme exclnsiveness gather up its skirts, either literally or metaphorically, and turn out with contempt upon the passer by or the new-comer simply because such new comer is from the Northern States. The North has done the South 'all the in jury that it can, if it has ever, in the broad est historical sense, done it any injury at all, now its power and its presence are only to bless, and the more fully the Southern people appreciate this as the bottom fact of the situation, the sooner will they be blessed." Springfield R publican. ; This is the concluding paragraph of an editorial in the Springfield (Massachusetts) Republican of March 14. We like, the boldness and can dor which ordinarily distinguish this able paper, and copy the above that our readers may see what sort of views obtain in the most intelligent New England circles concerning the -South. J v man born in New England, and whose life has been spent in that sec tion where so many countless "isms" aud so, much vile political philoso phy abound, cannot understand the South. It is simply an impossibility. If'.:' seless to reason with him. He is as labupble of understanding you as the conventional Scotc -n, ao cordmg to Sydney Smith, is incapable of relishing or understanding a joke. The article from which the above is taken, shows that as well-informed a journal as the Republican is has not the slightest knowledge of our peo ple, and, without perhaps designing to do so, misrepresents the views of our people by skilfully mingling truth and error. We have only this to say as to immi gration from New England or any section. The South has ancestral faiths and traditions which its people cherish most tenderly, and which they would fain preserve. The South, prior to the war, applied no political tests to New Englanders that came to our land and settled. Shejapplied neither political nor religious tests) A stranger came then and went to work. If he were worthy he was sure to make friends, and, in almost every instance, to make money. Many of the best, most useful, most hono rable citwens of the South were either born in New England, or came from Great Britain or from the Continent. - a - - - - , There was no royal road to social el- ; evatiou then in the South, just as there is none now in New England. A man had to work himself up, and many of the most illustrious men in North Carolina were born and reared in the North. Since the war we have geuei ally had another class of Northern men to settle among us. They were too often politicians, and not of the higher type. They intermeddled, oppressed, afflicted us. They caused great and continued trouble. Horace Greeley understood them precisely, and has described them most graph ically in the nervous and lucid Eng lish of which he was so great a mas ter. Now, we are not anxious to in vite or welcome any of that class. We are quite satisfied with the sup ply already on hand, although it is fortunately very greatly reduced. Honest men, industrious men, well- meaning men can come with the as surance of being well-received and well-treated. Their social standing will depend to a considerable extent upon themselves, and will be regu lated by laws that govorn Springfield and Boston society. They can be Republicans or Democrats without being abused or suspected. If they do not seek office, they will be apt to vote with the Democrats before they will have lived many years in the South. They will then understand their own necessities as residents in the South, and will understand the necessities of their neighbors, and when election time comes they will be all apt to vote together for the Democratic candidates. And lastly, such immigrants, after living for a term of years among us, will learn much concerning the native Southern er that they never could have learn ed by remaining in New England, where a mode of. life and of thought so very different prevails. Republican Soreheads In Trouble Proposed caucus. Washington, March 15. It is understood that a caucus of the Republican Senators is urged for to-morrow to discuss some matters which are giving them much trouble. They think, for one thing, that Pre sident Hayes is too anxious to get rid of them, and several of them did not think it altogether proper for Se cretary Sherman to be on the floor of the Senate to-day telling Senators that nothing would please President Hayes better than for them to go home. There is considerable dissat isfaction at the determination which it is said has been arrived at by the administration to eenerallv reannaint are about expiring. Many Repnbli can Senators agree with the Tunnes Methodist minister that Grant's appointees have been in long enough. They do not relish the idea which is dawning on them that they are not to have much influence in the matter of appointments. The reappointment of the present board of Southern claims commissioners is also objected to by some. Then some of the more radical Senators are anxious for the introduction of a resolution recogni zing Paokard and Chamberlain, simi lar to the resolution recognizing Kel logg which was passed at the extra session of the Senate in 1875. It is doubtful whether anything practical can come of discussing these matters, but it will at any rate afford the op portunity to let off a little steam. Death of Midline Le Vert. Madame Octavia Walton Le Vert, the well-known authoress, died near Augnsta, Ga., on Friday. Madame Le Vert came of distinguished stock. Her grandfather, George Walton, a native of Prince Edward county, Va., was one of the signers of the Declara tion of Independence. He "was a member of the first Cougress con vened at Philadelphia, and held suc cessively the offices of Governor of Georgia and judge of the Supreme Court. George Walton, his second son, was educated at Princeton, NiT J., and married Miss Sal lie Minge Walker, the daughter of a distin guished lawyer of Georgia. Octavia was the result of this marriage, having been born at Belle Vue, near Augusta. Shortly after her bl:hear ,ier Parent removed to Flow?, of which State General JacksoTi was" then ""-overnor. Col. Walton succeeded the General in the Governorship of the new State. When Miss Walton grew up she developed great intelligence and soon became a leader in the world of fashion and let ters. Her society was courted by the most brilliant people of the time, and she numbered Gen. Lafayette, Wash ington Irving, Lamartine, Lady Em meline Stuart Wertley, Henry Clay, and many other famous persons among her intimate friends. In 1836 Miss Walton married Dr. Henry Le Vert, of Mobile, which city was thenceforth her principal residence, After a pro longed visit to Europe, where she was received with distinguished attention, Madame Le Vert published in 1854 the well-known Souvenirs of Travel, one of the most successful books of the kind ever issued in America. - Her fortune being much reduced during the war, she afterwards gave poetic readings in the leading cities.

Tapping the Telegraph A Rogue with a i'ocKet Instrument -ZtosjuM Order o a Mesenger-$4,000 Gone J. Pittsburg telegram of Wednes day says: A well-planned and skillfully-executed express robbery was perpetrated in this city last night. Superintendent Bingham of the Ex press Company gives the following paTtTTrolaTsthis'- evrrring: Yesterday afternoon, when we Buffalo express south reached Brady's . Bend, a tele gram was handed Thos. Bingham, express messenger, which instructed him to transfer his packages, &c, to J. H. Brooks, at Terapleton, and re turn to Parker's Landing and wait orders. This was dated Pittsburg, and signed George Bingham, super intendent. Templeton is a small sta tion on the Allegheny Valley rail road, fifty miles from this city. The Buffalo express south and train going north meet there and stop for supper. On the arrival of the train at Tem pleton a man stepped into the express car and told Messenger Bingham he was ordered to relieve him and take his run to Pittsburg. Mr. Bingham asked him for his instructions, and he produced a telegram addressed to J. H. Brooks, instructing Brooks to relieve Bingham at Templeton and bring the express matter to Pittsburg. This was also signed "George Bing ham." Superintendent Bingham, af ter the transfer to Brooks, took tho north train to rarker s, and Brooks came to this city in charge of the ex press car. At the depot in this city his goods were checked off correctly, and he got in the wagon with the driver to deliver the goods and report at the general office, on Fifth avenue. The robbery was committed in the wagon between the depot and office. He jumped from the wagon unnoticed Dy tne oriver wnen less man halt a square from the office. The safe was found open and money packages amounting to fonr thousand dollars missing when delivered at the office.

Business tu Philadelphia. North American, 15th. iue situation in trade circles pre sented no new features yesterday The business transacted was mode rate in volume and moved without excitement or activity worthy of spe cial mention. Values continue tirm, especially for staple articles,of which the stock in first and second hands cannot be called equal to the ordinary wants of the trade. The low range of values established for most of the leading articles of merchandize, and the strong credit of the mercantile community generally, give promise of a satisfactory improvement in busi ness during the present spring season, but the indications are that the move merits, will be erraduaj and JWljmarked aen activity. Ihe monetary situation is unchanged and the supply of loan- auie iuiiub continues largely in ex cess of the demand, even at low rates of interest. The shrinkage iu values which has been going on iu securities for some time past has naturally de creased the demand from the Stock Exchange, while the absence of any thing like activity in general business lessens the inquiry for discounts at bank and on the street. Tbe Bird Law. The act passed at the recent ses sion of the General Assembly, rati fied the 7th of March, recites that experience and observation have sh own that the insect-destroying birds afford material protection to grain crops, and that the exportation of quails or partridges from the tier of counties along the great railroad lines is likely to result in the exter mination of those beautiful and use ful birds. It is therefore enacted that it shall bo unlawful to export quails or partridges, dead or alive, from the counties of Catawba, Row an, Guilford, Alamance,Bockingham, Orange, Iredell, Davie, Gaston, Co lumbus, Davidson, Anson or Forsyth, under penalty of a fine not exceed ing fifty dollars, and imprisonment not exceeding thirty days, for each and every such offence. It will bo noted that the exporta tion, dead or alive, is only prohibited. It was thought this would afford the needed protection. Gunning or net ting is not prohibited; but as these can only be indulged for private sport or home use, they cannot re sult in anything like extermination of these magnificent game birds. Greensboro Patriot. Scandal Among the Spiritualism An Editor shot Dead. Chicago, March 15. Stephen S. Jones, editor of the Be Hgio-IhUosophical Journal, was shot dead in his office this afternoon by Dr. W. C. Pike, who immediately gaye himself up. Tones lived with bis family at St, Charles, Ills. He was sixty -five, years old and reputed wealthy. It appears Pike and bis wife have been rooming in Jones' building this winter and without pay ing rent, and it is surmised this may have caused the trouble. Pike alleges as the reason for the killing that Jones seduced his wife, and he produces a confession signed by his wife to that effeot, Mrs. Pike confirms her hus band's story, but the friends of the deceased declare he was incapable of the alleged crime. All the parties in volved are Spirit uplifts, and the affair causes coqeraWe excitement. Pike was held this P.

Most of the Democratic journals are not in a humorous mood these days, but the Cincinnati Enquirer cannot resist the temptation to poke a little fun. It says: "Mr. Tilden will not be a candidate for President in 1880. The House formally de- clared him elected by resolution on the 3d instant, and Mr. Tilden has emphatically announced all along that he wasa one-term man. The Republican party has met its fate iu the question which it has all these years been putting oil tor auother day I hat day is come, aud it must decide be fore going further whether it will travel on the broad highway ot union, justice and peace, or wander off among tbe pitfalls and prejudices into which rings and conspira tors treacherously lead its feat. Norfolk Landmark. Senator Blaine may as well on derstand at this early stage of politics that while the Republican party is strong, and even indispensable, it cannot exist by main taining impracticable, selfish and exclusive practices in the Senate of the United States. there is a wide difference between party and country, especially in these times, when the mere partisan forgets country and when the country stands ready to forget partisans. Phuadelpfua Press. Governor Chamberlain's predic ament seems to be even worse than that of Governor Packard. Our Washington dis patches give a statement of the situation in South Carolina, which shows that he is not able to preserve even the semblance of Ex ecutive authority; he is simply a prisoner of State in his own office, protected against expulsion by Federal troops.
