The party from the Old North State are stirred, and at the rate mat ters arc going now there will be a bomb bursted among North Carolina officeholders before loner. Marshal Robert Douglas and his deputies are pretty sure to retire to private life, and will be fortunate to be "let down" so easily as that. Nepotism, a sin cherished by President Grant, ap pears to 1e unblushingly indulged m every branch of the public service in the old State. Here's a specimen taken from a document forwarded to Mr. Hayes: Among the relatives of Colonel J. M. Winstead holding of fice under him as collector of the Fifth district ofNorth Carolina, are Deputies Winstead, brother; Sater field, J. D. Long, and J. Sargent, nephew; Storekeepers, W. Sargent and C. S. Winstead, nephews; Gan gers, Thompson and S. Winstead, ne WILMINGTON, phews; and the names of John D. Long, Harden and Lentz, and others, swell the list Spirits Turpentine. Shoe- Heel and Smith's town ships, Robeson county, voted in favor of Prohibition. Mr. Jas. C.

Fletcher, of Jefferson, Ashe county, in meetings held last fall, preached 93 ser mons, witnessed the conversion of 75 per sons, and received 100 members into his churches. Welden News : Senator Ran son's arm is slowly Improving. 1 Good deal of travel through this place at present for the season. The cock-fight be tween North Carolina and Virginia com raenced in Norfolk yesterday. Plen tiful rains have visited this section within the past few days, much to the gratifica tion of the farmers. This section, says the Lumber ton Bobesonkin, was visited by copious and refreshing showers of rain last Sunday, Sunday night and Monday. It was the signal for transplanting potatoes, cabbage, collards, tobacco, &c, and it wonld be im possible to approximate the number of people, even in this county, who have been thus employed this week. Treasurer Worth says, in his latest decision: All property taxed by the State, for State purposes, must be taxed by counties for county purposes. If the State levies a tax of five dollars on gates across public highways, the county must also levy a tax upon the same in the same proportion that it taxes other property. A county can levy any proportion of tax from one per cent, to double the amount levied by the State, but it must be levied equal on all property." Raleigh Observer : Appeals from the 4th District argued as follows : Angus McFayden vs. J. T. Council, execu tor, from Rladen. R. H. Lyon, C. C. Lyon for plaintiff. T. H. Sutton for de fendant. Samuel Morgan et al., vs. Adrian & Vollers et al., from New Han over. E. G. Haywood for plaintiffs. Wright & Stedman and W. N. H. Smith for de fendants. In consequence of being per sonally interested in the suit of plaintiffs as an officer of the Bank of New Hanover, Justice Faircloth did not sit in this case. Alamance Gleaner: We think it safe to say the crop of wheat in this coun ty, is considerably above an average crop. On yesterday awening, a week ago, quite a destructive nbrtn visited portions of this county. The section immediately above the Shops suffered greatly. Trees were blown down, and in some places win dows were blown into houses. John Boon's stable was blown down, also Dr. B. A. Sel lers' barn, falling upon a buggy and break ing it. John Ireland's tobacco barn was blown over, and J. H. Foster's barn suf fered a similar fate. Charlotte Observer: Information was received here yesterday evening of the caving in of the Kings mountain mine, which occurred on Friday evening. The miners all being out at the time, no one was injured. The full extent of the injury to property has not been ascertained. The oc currence will delay operations for six or eight months. It is stated, however, that the falling of the earth has developed a new vein of unusual richness, by the discovery of which the owners of the property have been more than compensated for the loss sustained and by the delay in the prosecu tion of the work. Robesonian : Lumberton is sit uated on the north side of Lumber river, 69 miles from Wilmington, 33 miles from Fayetteville, 25 miles from Elizabethtown, 29 miles from Whitesville, 96 miles from Raleigh, and 118 miles from Charlotte.

Hillsboro Recorder: We were pleased to see in the College at Chapel Hill, on Thursday afternoon, the Rev. Charles Phillips, so distinguished in his connection with the University, who has been an in valid for several months. We hope he is now on the road to permanent health. On Monday night week the thunder storm, which prevailed here and in the vi cinity was accompanied with unusual elec trical violence. A negro house on the western edge of the town was struck and the inmates all more or less shocked and a small boy bears upon his person the marks of the fiery fluid; but there was no life lost. On the Oxford road, an old dwel ling belonging to Wm. H. Bacon, but un occupied at the time, was struck and con sumed. Raleigh News says: Yesterday morning Judge W. R. Cox, at chambers, granted a restraining order prohibiting the commissioners appointed by the last Legis lature to take charge of the ereetion, in this city, of a new Gubernatorial mansion, from selling Moore Square, as they had advertised to do. The position of the News with respect to the administration, and the duty of the Democratic party, is no longer an isolated one in the field of North Carolina journalism. We are sus tained by many of the best and bravest of our co-laborers. The Wilmington Stab, the Elizabeth City Economist, the Roanoke News, the Tarboro Southerner, the Milton Chronicle, the Salisbury Watchman, and the Burke Blade, have taken pretty much the same view of the situation that we have, we are proud to say. Concord Sun: Good rains and plenty of it, lately. We knew when the people began praying for rain, it would come. On Friday last, while Benton Barnhardtf was harvesting in his wheat field, he was bitten on the leg by a large black spider. The bite caused him acute pain, and for the remainder of the day his leg was partially paralyzed. His condition was better though, the following day, and he was able to be about. Last Thurs day evening, a son of Mr. Jim Scott, (we could not learn the lads name) and a neero boy, were "playing" with a pistol, at Mill Bridge, Rowan county, when by some means the pistol was accidentally fired, and its contents entered the negro's abdomen, killing mm almost instantly A short time since a negro boy was ploughing in an old orchard, on the farm of Mr. Dave Honeycutt, in No. 7 township, when his mule became frightened and at tempted to run away. As he did so the boy pushed the plough deep into the Morning N. C, THURSDAY, ground and stopped the mule, aud on drawing the plough shovel from the ground he unearth en a quantity or old silver. Fur ther investigation was made, and an old time clay pipe, a large gold collar button. and a parcel of human bones were brought to light. The coin was so disfigured and rusty as to be of no value. The occur rence has set all the neerros agog, and has produced no little curiosity among the whites also. Oxford Torchliant: Granville county jail contains only one prisoner, w mis larooro, a colored man. Jtie is charged with poisoning a negro boy, at Hittreii, sometime ago. JPor a num ber of years a swarm of bees have occu pied the dome of the Orphan Asylum. On Thursday last the dome was entered and about 100 lbs. of honey was taken. We want a Railroad. We don't care much where it comes from or where it goes, or whether it goes any further than Oxford or not. We want a narrow gauge road we want Oxford connected with the out side world. There are thousands of acres of idle land in Granville suited for the culture 'of bright tobacco. Much of this land, too, is for sale or could be bought at a small price, tie it remembered that this bright tobacco is easily cultivated and cured and the profits in some instances to tne planter are simply incredible.

JUNE 14, 1877. Trial and Conviction of a Foreer. Among the important cases disposed of in the Criminal Court yesterday was that of R. M. Walker alias W. ML Taylor, who, it will be remembered, was bound over to this Court some months since on the charge of forging the name of Capt. T. J. Souther land, of this city, to an order on Col. Ro ger Moore for $50. the said order alleging that Walker alias Taylor was expecting some cotton from up the road, and that he (Capt Southerland) would Me that Col. Moore got his money back; that Col. Moore, on the presentation of the order, stated that he was not in the commission business, but would take the bearer to the store of his friends, Messrs. Eerchner & Calder Bros., which he did, and Taylor received the mo ney from them; that it was subsequently discovered that Taylor had obtained the $50 fraudulently, when Col. Moore overhauled Vim and made him etxXl&u ZJl I ?qUef0t all hethonhofih 222 the Pomalhean Socty and msenfcd to all he then had of the money, which was $49.75. These facts, being substan tially as they appeared in our pa per at the time, were given in on the stand in Conrt yesterday. The defendant had no lawyer employed and conducted his own defence, showing no little tact and judgment, and also evidencing the fact that he is a man of education. At the close of the testimony be addressed the jury briefly in his own behalf, taking the ground that although it had been proven that he pre sented the order, it had not been shown that it was in his handwriting, and conse quently that it could not be made a case of forgery. - ' . - His Honor, in charging the jury, reca pitulated the evidence as above, with the additional fact, as sworn to by Capt South erland, that during an interview with the defendant after he had been arrested he asked him why he had used his (Capt S.'s) name in that way, and that he (Taylor) re plied that he was "hard up" and wanted the money. The jury, after a short absence, returned a verdict of guilty; whereupon Mr. Solici tor Moore read a letter, written to him by a genneman oi prominence in one or the western counties a lawyer, and a Senator in the las: Legislature who stated that Taylor was a schoolmate and - room mate of his at college and that he be longed to one of the best families of the State, had been trained in the paths of virtue and rectitude, and had con ducted himself in accordance therewith up to the time that he had last parted with bim, at which time he had ;ieft for Balti more and had since been led astray His Honor remarked that this was the Strrtno-pst nnint I hot onnM 1m. lu.. Cj XT ww mwwmmm. hwtv UWU brought to bear against him. He had rea son to believe that the defendant was a man of education and some culture, and so mueh the worse for him. If he had been a poor. ignorant, degraded wretch, there would nave been some palliation for the offence In his case there was none, as he should have known better The sentence of the Court was that the prisoner should be confined for the period of eight years in the State penitentiary Suicide or a Colored Youth. We mentioned a report in our last that a colored boy had destroyed his own life by taking laudanum. The name of the youth was Thomas Brown, aged between fifteen and sixteen years, and residing on Church, ueiween vmn ana oixtn streets, it ap pears that his mother chastised him on Monday night for some offence, which so exasperated him that he declared in her presence that it Would be the last time she would have the opportunity of doing so. as he would kill himself and go to h 11 He then went off and procured a phial of laudanum and some whiskey, which he drank, and then went to bed. His mother heard him making some peculiar noise in his room during the night, but being somewhat afraid of him on ac count of his ungovernable temper, and not being aware (of course) that he had taken the poison, she did not go to look after him. Early Tuesday morning. however, she repaired to his room, when she was unable to arouse him. A physician was immediately sent for, and upon his ar rival it was found that he was dead, while the scent of the laudanum be had taken was plainly detected. Coroner Hewlett was notified and held an inquest over the body, the jury return ing a verdict to the effect that the deceased came to his death through the administra tion of laudanum by his own hand. Sunday School Excursion. We learn that a family excursion to Col. Mcllhenny's plantation, under the auspices of the Sunday school teachers of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, will take place on Tuesday next, the 19th inst. The steamer North Bast, which has been newly fitted up and is under command of the af fable and experienced Capt. Paddison, has been engaged for the occasion. The ladies will supply all demands for refreshments at city prices, so that none need be bur dened with lunch baskets. The net pro ceeds will be applied for the purchase of an organ and library for said Sunday School. Particular notice will be given by adver tisement in Saturday and Sunday's Stab. That Problem. A correspondent, "K," sends us the fol lowing solution to the problem referred to in pur last: "The 75 cent man gets 138i acres and the $1.25 man gets 80 acres." This makes 213 acres altogether. lithe 200 acres stated in the problem goes oh multiplying at this rate the two men alluded to will soon have more hud than they will know how to manage. VK," We take it, is intended to mean "Korrect,1 but we doubt its application in this instance. WHOLE NO. 3,073 OPERA BOUSE. Hon. George Davis' Address. The attendance at the Opera House last evening, though not as large as it would have been had the weather been more fa vorable, was quite fair, and certainly much larger than the average attendance on sunt lar occasions. Mr. Davis was appropriately introduced by Mr. W. L. Smith, Jr., President of the Philomathean Society. The address entitled "The Early Times and Men of the Cape Pear," was first de livered by Mr. Davis at the University, in 1856, and received extremely favorable criticism on all sides. Few copies are: now extant,, and it was solely for the instruction of the youth of the present day, as to the deeds and achievements of the early settlers of the Cape Pear region; that Mr. Davis acceded to the reauest i of reM it last night for its benefit. The au dience listened attentively throughout to the address, Which was replete with inter esting facts and instructive, information. eloquently delivered by an orator who has but few equals and no superior, certainly in North Carolina. In this connection we are glad to learn that the address will prob ably be published in convenient form, at an early day, by the Wilmington Library Association. Thermometer Record.

These medicines have undoubtedly performed more cures of Consumption than any other remedy known to the American public. They are compounded of ve getable ingredients, and contain nothing which can be injurious to the human constitution. Other re mediesadvertised as cures for Consumption, prob ably contain opium, which is a somewhat dangerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by consump- I I b7ePtientoitmttst do great injury; fo Clist0 confine the morbid matter in for its tenden- the svstem. which, of course, must make a cure imnosaible. Schenek's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted to contain not a particle of opium: it is composed of powerful but harmless herbs, which act on :the lumrs. Uver. stomach and blood, and thus coirect aU morbid se cretions, and expel all the diseased matter from the body. They are the only means by which Consump tion can oe curea.and as Schenek's Pulmonic Svrnn 8ea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which operate in this way, it is obvious they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Con sumption. Each bottle of this invaluable mediclna Is accompanied by full directions.
