TUe Consular service to be Over hauled Special to Richmond Dispatch. Washington, May 12. The President said to-day that the oensuAar service will be thoroughly overhauled and the system of appoint ments and management revised, with a view to advancing the commercial interests of the United States. As vacancies occur they will be filled with careful reference to that object, and men will be selected, as far as practicable, who are identified with the business interests of this country. It is believed that this course will tend to foster our trade with foreign ports and elevate the consulates from mere political sinecures for party fa vorites to the dignity of commercial agencies for the extension and pro tection of American commerce in all important ports. Visit of Secretary ot Navy. SecretaryThompsbn and many other distinguished men visited Nor folk on Saturday. A telegram to the Richmond Dispatch say a: "The day was almost consumed by the Secretary and his heads of de partments in inspecting the vast works of the yard, and after a short entertainment on the Franklin and at the residence of Commodore J. Blakely Creighton, the commandant of the-yard, the visitors returned on board of the Lady of the Lake and left for Washington. The Secretary expressed himself greatly impressed with the naval establishment at this point. Committees from the City Coun cils of Norfolk and Portsmouth, the Board of Trade, Cotton Exchange, Harbor" Commissioners, fec, waited oiLj.be Secretary and invited him to the hospitalities of the city, but be gracefully declined any sort of for mal reception, stating that he was simply in Norfolk on a business visit. Prom Columbia, 8. C, Special to Charleston Jour, of Commerce. Columbia, May 12. With the end of the Legislative dead-lock comes the collapse of the remains of the Radical Ring in the Senate and the overthrow of Cham berlainism for ever. I am sure that there will be an overwhelming wail of regret from all honest people when the announcement is made that the usurper has departed from the land of the Palmetto. He folded up his little carpet-bag this morning and silently wended his way to more con genial climes. There have been and will be de velopments, I am told, which will make things exceedingly unpleasant for Republican as well as Democratic Senators. A prominent official out of whom I pumped this information would tell me nothing else. He con cluded his remarks with the remark : ' It's hell aud damnation, I tell you," and then he closed his mouth like an oyster on a coon's bush." It is a little strange that although the election for Chief Justice is ap pointed for Tuesday next, the Dem ocrats have not yet approached the subject in their caucus. The fact that Governor Hampton favors the election of Judge Willard, has, of course, given him the inside track in the race, but the opposition to him has developed considerable strength within the past few days, and when the caucus decides to tackle the ques tion, there will be a bitter fight and a possible bolt. "Our Pint Captain." Charlotte Observer. One of the most beautiful and touching incidents of the ceremonies in Elmwood Cemetery on memorial day, was the tribute of the Charlotte Grays to their first Captain, Maj. Egbert A. Rom, who laid down his life on the bloody field of Gettysburg, and whose body was subsequently removed to Elmwood Cemetery. After the flowers had been scattered over the spot where most ot the The VOL. XX.---NO. 46. soldiers were sleeping, Capt. Hand formed the company and marched to the grave of the gallant hero, and after reminding the men that they stood around the last resting place of the much beloved Captain of the "old Charlotte Grays," he fearfully laid upon the grave a beautiful wreath, in the center of which was inscribed, in letters of evergreen, "Our First Captain."

Statesville American: Should any of our farmers have their tobacco plants destroyed by the fly, it will prove no loss if they will plant corn instead, and give it good cultivation, as corn will most likely rank tobacco in price, and come into market earlier. Milton Chronicle: The most effectual way for a town wanting to grow to cut its own throat from ear to ear, is for a few persons to buy up all the vacant or disposable town lots at small figures and hold them so high that people can't or won't buy them. Messenger: When the Republi can administration assumed the control of our townaffairs two years ago, there was a surplus of nearly $500 in the exchequer, and now, we are told, there is a deficiency of over $1,000.

We learn that one of our colored socie ties, intending to make an excursion to Charlotte, having chartered four cars for that purpose, marched up to the depot yes terday morning and took their seats in the coaches, which were found in readiness. Before starting, however, a call was made upon them for the amount charged for the train, when the disagreeable fact trans pired that they were unable to make up the necessary sum, whereupon they were com pelled to vacate the coaches and march down to their Lodge room again, a sadly disappointed and disgusted organization. Tbe Bible Cause. At the meeting in the interest of the Bible cause, held at the Front Street M. E. Church on Sunday morning last, which was addressed by Rev. C. H.

Com pany No. 1 will have a parade and engine trial this afternoon. Hon. A. H. Stephens will pass through this city Wednesday evening en route for home. He will reach the depot at 7 o'clock. The weather on Sunday was nothing like as inclement as had been ex pected, though cloudy and somewhat threatening. The Grand Lodge of Odd Fel. lows caned their retiring Grand Master, Mr. R. jf Jones, of this city. We have no doubt he deserved it. Don't forget the Dime party, to be given by the ladies of St Pan l's Episco-1 pal Church this evening, at the Lumsden rooms, on Front street. Slight ohange of pressure or temperature, east to south winds and clear or partly cloudy weather, are the indica tions for this section to-day. The funeral ofc Mr. James Dar by, which took place yesterday morning, was largely attended by the Hibernian As sociation and citizens generally. We learn that Rev. Dr. Jos. R. Wilson and Mr. B. G. Worth were to leave on yesterday evening's train for New Orleans, to attend the session of the Pres byterian General Assembly. The franchise of the N. C. Ben eficial Association has been levied upon by the Sheriff, and advertised to be sold. Those having stock in the institution had better be present, as there is a fortune in it, so "they" say. Sunday evening Messrs. Wj. H. Goodman and Marcus Bear, who left here for Europe yesterday, were tendered a re ception by Mr. Sol. Bear at his residence. The feeling uppermost in the minds! of those who attended was that a Goodman was about to leave, butjthat they must try and Bear it A Shrewd Beggar. A colored girl called at a residence on Second street, on Saturday last, and asked the lady of the house for some flowers, and, upon receiving tbe reply that she (the lady) was too worried with a sick daughter to bother with her then, the girl left j It seems, however, that she caught the words "sick daughter" and resolved to profit thereby, as it subsequently transpired that she went to several houses in that vicinity and obtained a supply of flowers from each by asking for them in the name of the lady who had first refused her. Embolden ed by her success she finally determined to enlarge the scope and extent of her opera tions, to facilitate which she wrote, or bad written, the following document: "WilmingtoK N. C, May 12, 18771 Mrs. : Mrs. is very sick and she sends lor a bunch of flowers to put beside her bed. She says please send her some -sugar and tea and flower.' ' She then addressed the note to a lady on Front street, and presented it, without a signature, at the residence of the party in question. But just here tbe enterprising colored damsel overstepped the mark. She was too smart, and the consequence was that her last venture proved a quietus to further operations on that score, and she took her departure without the much cov eted "flower," &c. Have we Kidnappers Among CJs T J A gentleman and his t wo little sons took a walk along the wharves on Sunday after noon, when, meeting some friends, he stopped and engaged in conversation with them. He had been thus employed for 1 some time, and finally prepared to resume his walk, when he found that one of his boys was missing. Very much distressed, and fearful that the little fellow might have accidentally fallen into the river, be com menced making inquiries, and finally I a colored man informed him that a man had seized tbe boy and carried him on board of a vessel lying at the wharf near by, and volunteered to go and get him. He did so, but stated on his return that it - was with some difficulty he could induce the man,, (who did not belong on the vessel), to let him go, and finally had to tell him that the father of the little fellow was on the wharf and would cause him trouble if he did not immediately deliver him up. The gentle man alluded to would not have thought so much of this circumstance but for the fact that the same man who seized the boy was seen to pass his house on four different oc casions after he had arrived home with his children. We should regret to hear of a Charley Ross case in Wilmington. Tne Western Excursionists. It has been arranged that a committee of the several trade organizations of Wilming ton, with other gentlemen, will leave here on the train Wednesday morning, at half past 8 o'clock, with the view of meeting the Western excursionists and escorting them to this city, where they are expected to arrive about 12 o'clock.

Tbe Proposed Canal Through Angola Pocosin. At the call of Mr. Daniel Shaw, Chair man of a committee appointed at the late meeting in Pender county, to consider the question of constructing a canal from Croom's Bridge, on the west side of Angola Pocosin, to the Duplin and Pender line, on the east side of said Pocosin, a meeting was held on Friday last on the line of the two counties named, at which Mr. Shaw pre sided, and Mr. Jacob James, of Duplin, acted as Secretary. The meeting was large and enthusiastic, there being about two hundred persons present, including citizens of Duplin, Pen der and Onslow counties. The main object of the meeting, as ex plained by the Chairman, was in reference to the exact location of the line, as to which there had been some misunderstanding, and tbe location as above, from Groom's Bridge direct to the Duplin and Pender line, which is in accordance with the read ing of the act of the Legislature providing for the building of said canal, received the unanimous endorsation of the meeting. Tbe proposed canal, we are assured, will open up a large extent of country abound ing in turpentine trees which have never been touched and in facilities for the manufacture of tar, besides greatly lessen ing the distance to tide-water and adding to the facilities of farmers and others in reaching market with their various pro ductions, to say nothing of the improvement which will necessarily follow the building of the canal to the thousands of acres of land ithat region belonging to the State; and which is now absolutely worthless. It is hoped for this consideration, if no other, that the necessary convict labor authorized by the bill will be furnished without un necessarg delay, so that tbe work of con structing the canal maybe proceeded with. A Yacht after a New model. Much interest was excited on the wharves, in the vicinity of the foot of Dock street, yesterday afternoon, by an experimental test, in the river at that point, of the sail ing qualities of a miniature yacht, con structed after what is known as the "Cata maran" model, by Mr. Norwood Giles. It is composed of two distinct boats, about three feet in length and joined together by three beams, one at each end and one just forward of midship, in the latter of which the mast is set, being located centrally be tween the two boats, while to the after beam the rudder is attached. This renders the capsizing of the boat a matter of im possibility, almost, while it affords an op portunity of crowding on a large amount of canvass and thus facilitating, in the same ratio, tbe speed of the boat A yacht bunt after this model, in New York, was made to attain the speed of eighteen miles per hour. The experiment of the tfeares, as we learn Mr. Giles will call his little craft was a decided success, and we shall expect before long to see in our waters yachts of large size constructed after the same style. Assault with a Deadly Weapon. A colored man by the name of Raynard Lamb, was arrested on Water street Sun day mowing, charged with an assault and battery with a deadly weapon upon the person of one Warwick Perry, colored. It appears that the two men were together on Saturday night hist about 10 o'clock, on tbe outer edge of Brooklyn; that they stepped into a bar-room to get a drink.and on coming out Lamb broached a sub ject upon which the two had previously had some misunderstanding, when Perry, wishing to avoid a discussion which he knew would lead to a difficulty, started to leave bis companion ar d go off in another direction, when Lamb drew a knife and plunged it into the right side of Perry, ma king quite a deep incision between the low er rib and hip-bone, from which the blood spurted in a stream. Perry was taken to his residence and a physician summoned, who pronounced the wound a severe one, though not necessarily dSigerous. Lamb was lodged in the guard house to await an examination into the case by Mayor Cana day. ' mayor's Court. The following cases were disposed of by the Mayor yesterday morning: Hannah Brown, charged with disorderly conduct on the streets, was ordered to pay a fine of $10 and costs or work for thirty days on the streets. Lewis Gause, charged with disorderly conduct and resisting the police. The de fendant was arrested on the 16th of March, but made his escape. He was subsequent ly rearrested and was recognized for his appearance, but failed to come to time. On Saturday night last, however, he was again arrested and lodged in the guard house. He was ordered to pay a fine of $10 and costs or work for thirty days on the streets, in tbe first case, and $26 and costs or work for thirty days on the streets, in tbe second case. Sarah MoKenzie, charged with disorderly conduct, was required to pay a fine of $10 and the costs. Anniversary of the Wlnelntn Light Infantry. The following has been decided upon by the Committee of Arrangements of the Wilmington Light Infantry as the pro gramme for their anniversary on the 21st inst: The company will assemble at the armory promptly at 3 o'clock, and march to the Opera House, where an address on the his tory of the organization will be delivered by Judge Edward Cantwell, to which the public are cordially invited. Upon tbe conclusion of the address there will be a parade through our principal streets. WHOLE NO. 3,049 COUWTY COMMISSIONERS. Proceedings In Special session.

Fatal diseases may be caused by allowing the bowels to become constipated and the system to remain in a disordered condition, un til the disorderhas time to develop itself.
