During the race one of . the crew; of the Rosa fell overboard, but was rescued . by the Ripple, and the race proceeded. ; Our informant states that it Was a very closely contested race, and that there were numerous fouls.

Again, tho Ripple in creased her ballast during the race, which railed her out, although it was shown that she lost ' by doing bo, and had picked the man up because they "were afraid he would dtown.

ROBBBBY. f 1 Arreat of a Clerk In ine Poatoffiee at , i Magnolia tor Tamperlns wltbtne fllalle. " " " ; ; A suspicion had: been ' aroused for some time past that a young man by the name of Charles Lawton, occupying the position of a clerk in the postoffice at Magnolia, Duplin county, had been tampering with the mails Finally Col. E. R, Brink, our worthy P. M. at this place, determined to. try . an experi ment to see if he coold find out if the young man was really guilty of the supposed dere liction. With this object in view he pre pared a decoy letter,- containing $30.13 in greenbacks, one of the bills being of the de nomination of $20 and the others small -bills,- the number . and: description ot each bill being taken down so that they could, be easily detected. He then had the letter reg istered and mailed at Magnolia. '' This was done Saturday evening. The letter, which was addressed to come South,'- was taken out by Col. Brink at this office and exam ined on Sunday evening, when it was dis covered that the twenty dollar bill had been taken out, leaving only $10 13 in the letter. On Monday morning Col. Brink went to the Office of TJ. S. Commissioner VanAm ringe and procured a warrant for the arrest of y oung Lawton, which was placed in the hands of XJ. S. Deputy Marshal Van Soe len, who, accompanied by Col. Brink, took the early train for Magnolia. It happened -that the train was - considerably behind time, so that when they arrived at Magno lia they only had three minutes to spare in order to catch the return train. Lawton came out to the train the moment it stopped U get live mail, when Col.' B..- told the offi cer to take charge of the young man and put him .on the oiher train at once. Law tan wanted to know what .was to be come of the mail, when Col. B. informed him that be would attend to that. The Uhing was done so quietly that veiy few if any of the persons in and -about the trains knew what bad happened. " , v (Soon after the train bad steamed out from the depot, CoL -Brink remarked to young Lawton that before anything more was. done about the matter be might as well deliver up the twenty dollar bill which he had abstracted from the letter,7 at the same time taking out the registered package which he (Lawton) had himself fixed up, upon seeing which be immediately took out his pocket hook and handed over the iden tical note which had been taken from tbe letter, remarking that there was no use in trying to conceal the fact that he took it. . ' Arriving at Wilmington young Lawton was taken before U. S. Commissioner Van Amringe at half past 1 o'clock,1, when the young man submitted the case and was re quired to enter into a justified bond in the sjim of $500 for his appearance at the next term of the TJ. S. District Court, which convenes in this city on the 31st of October, in default of . which he was committed to jail. ; Charles Lawton, who resided witlr his father at Magnolia, is only about 21 years of age, and is a young man Of very respec table appearance. He remarked to Col. Brink, as an excuse for what he had done, that he was getting a very small salary as a clerk in the postoffice and in consequence of this fact he could not 'resist the tempta tion, when he saw that the letter contained money, to appropriate a portion of it to bis own use. - :, : ; i Col. Brink deserves much credit for his many and uniformly successful efforts in ferreting out such cases as the 'above. ' Inferior Genre. We made mention in our last of the fact that the magistrates of this county would meet soon to take intd consideration the establishment of an lnferior Court for New Hanover county. We did so, however,, with not tbe slightest expectation that the meeting, when held, would result in any thing more than the mere disposition of tbe matter, as being altogether out of the ques tion in this county. With our present Criminal Court in existence, the idea of the establishment of an Inferior Court in "New Hanover-would be an absurdity too monstrous to admit of a moment's thought. The law providing, for the. organization of these courts in the various counties gives them jurisdiction in most of the criminal cases on the statute books, including lar ceny,, assaults and battery, &c, such as came under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Superior Court, only reserving. to the latter tribunal the disposition, of capital offences' The Criminal Court was established, with the express intention of meeting all such cased as above referred to, With the right of appeal to the Superior Court, and this being the fact, the organization of ; an Inferior Court in this county would not be less ab surd or ridiculous than the act of construct ing a fifth wheel to a wagon " when four can-be made to serve the 'purpose just as well.
