B, WIHM H. BEBSAB1?, WILMINGTONl N. C: Sunday Morning, Sept. 23, 1877. AN ACCIDENT. , Just as we were ready to go to press yesterday the inside form of the Star was 'pied" by careless handling, aud almost the entire labor of a day was thus thrown away. Aljhis wri ting it is impossible to say how much this aeeident may detract from the interest of our Sunday edition, but for any ; shortcomings that . may ap pear we" ask the indulgence of our readers. We hope, however, that the omission of nearly all our edito rial matter will be the worst feature of tho accident. f . ! Those of our subscribers who re ceived ouFevening edition yesterday printed on but one side will receive complete copies of this morning's issue. The Morning Star begins its 21st semi-annual volume to-day. Soj it is just ten years old. This may seem but a short period in newspaper his tory, yet the Stab at that age is the oldest daily paper in North Carolina. During that time it has constantly grown incirculation and influence. Our claim to the "largest circulation" is not seriouslyontested; iu fact, but one daily paper in the State claims a larger circulation than the Stab, and that paper does it purely" as a matter of habit. We shall endeavor in the future" to be governed. by the same motives and objects that have guided us in the past. rnB SOUTHERN UNDEK WKI TEBS' ASSOCIATION. The people and the press are in terested in; the uncovering of the transactions of the Raleigh Southern Underwriters' Association. From the first it was believed in Raleigh and other places to be a regularj "wild cat" concern that had no substantial basis, and that did not intend to transact business in accordance with the recognized principles of , well reg ulated fire insurance companies. . J. Tflrf common rumor prompted the then Secretary of State to inquire into the matter. The President, Armistead Jones, insisted that the company was all right, and invited a "thorough in vestigation." The Raleigh News says: "Secretary Howerton professed to have made the examination, and certified that he found the Southern Underwriters Asso ciation 'doing business upon sound : princi ples, within the provisions or its cnarter, and in compliance with the laws of the State of North Carolina,' and that it had the securities set forth in the statement set out below; and further that, in his opinion, they were 'entirely worthy the confidence of the insuring public The certificate of the Secretary of State bad the effect of al laying suspicion with the public generally, though many were not satisfied, setting lit tle store by William H. Howerton's certifi cate, and the Association went oa with its operations uniu me couapac m tut. -uuk of the present year." -' ' - The company professed to have as sets to the amount of $152,379.13, and yet it is said a loss of $15,000 caused it to burst, and those inspired have bad to whistle for their money. There i3 something very mysterious about-the whole thing. How could it break if it had those assets? What has become of the one hundred and fifty-two thousand dollars they pro fess .to have had ? We trust the whole matter will be diligently and scrutinizfngly inquired into, and if fraud has been attempted upon: the public, that those guilty will be prose cuted and punished, if that be possi ble. This is the first time in the his tory of our State that a company has been organized that was suspected of foul play from the start. The News thus comments: . "The conduct of the Association subse quent to its suspension or withdrawal ap pears inexcusable. -We have waited in vain for some good reason to be shown for, the recent action of the corporation in first, its suspension or withdrawal from business without notice or a statement to the public or to its own policy holders; second, its fail ure to verify the last annual statement of the condition of the company, required by our law to be made to the Secretary of State; third, its failure to pay up its losses; fourth, its stout resistance to the efforts be ing made to discover the whereabouts of its aasAta Vnr the course of this association. in respect of these points, we see no justifi- cauoa or excuse. - l ? Tb death rate of the colored peo ple in the South is probably fifty j per cent.' greater than that of the whites. For instance, in Charlotte, we 1 re member that the vital statistics colored that were among the whites - according to population, and this case is-Bet exceptional. , The New York . Tifdesf the leading Republican -pa-. per ot (he country, is discussing the ; large death rate among that race so much greater than it was in the days ofilavery. It says t j , 44The causes which lead , to the terrible death rate among the colored people need 'not long be sought for. They are only too apparent to those who are conversant with the modes of life of the negroes of the cot ton States; they neglect or starve their og sDring abandon the sick to their own re- - sources, indulg -every animal passion to excess, and when they have money spend their nights in the most disgusting and de bilitating debauches; all these facts natur ally lead to the , questions, are the negroea going the way of the Indian? Are they' being civilized from off the face of t her earth?" " v -v'v : A correspondent of the New York Su7t makes this mournful announce ment: "Hayes bas done more toward destroying the Republican party than any man living or dead. All his re forms have been stabs in its vital parts. The truth is beginning toforco itself upon th"e minds of the thinking portion of the party that the organi-, zation will not survive his adminis tration. The party ouce had the po w er to rid itself of the incubus, but it is how too late. They have nestled the serpent too long in their bosom to eject him with safety. ; An effort is being made by a Lon don publisher to compete With the cheap, unwholesome literature of the day by the republication of good, healthy books at a cheap pried. "One of ; these, Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Pro gress," has already appeared, and may be obtained complete for one penny. The book is in pamphlet form, and consists of 64 pages, fairly printed, and with numerous wood cuts, which, if not highly finished, are quaintly suggestive. It is supposed a good many Demo cratic members of Congress will j fa vor frea trade and Sayler's rights. The Brave Army of Northern Virginia LGen. H. Heth, G. S. A , io the Peiladelphki Weekly Times. . Consider what therArmy of North ern Virginia bad in one year accom plished. In 1862, 8d,000 strong, it attacked the Federal ' army, 100,000 strong, and after seven days' fighting drove that army to shelter nuder'its gunboats. Following up this success, after a series of engagements, Pope was driven across the Potomac. Then followed the battle of Sharpsburg (Antietam), when possibly the fight-; ing capacity of the Army of .Northern Virginian never shone brighter.i Its numbers reduced by fighting, fatigue and hard marching to less than forty thousand strong, it gained a drawn battle against its adversary, who numbered very near, if not quite, one hundred thousand men. Then came Fredericksburg, where, with its ranks recuperated to seventy- tght thousand, it hurled across the Rappahannock river an adversary who had crossed with one hundred and ten thousand men. Then follows that most daring arid wonderful bat tle, Chancellorsville, where it. again triumphed, fifty thousand .strong against its adversary numbering one hundred and thirty-two thousand, compelling - him to seek shelter ; be hind the Rappahannock. After such a series of successes, withsuch ; dis parity of numbers, l is it wonderful that the Army of Northern Virginia and its great leader should have be lieved it capable of accomplishing anything in the power of an army to accomplish?- The New Jersey Convention Teenton, Sept. 19. : '. The Democratic State Convention met to-day. Ex-Chancellor William son was elected Chairman. A series of resolutions were presented by Judge Ashbel Green, and wer ft unan imously adopted. . They are five in number. The first re-affirms the principles of the St.1 Louis platform, and denounces the frauds by which the President and I Vice President were installed in their positions. The second congratulates the supporters of free government that President Hayes has adopted the Democratic policy of local self-governmeni in the Southern States The third - op poses special legisl ation,and expresses sompathy for the workingmen. The fourth demands a radical reduction of all salaries, fees and, 'costs. The fifth calls for a reduction of the legal in terest in the State to six perl cent. While the first ballot was under way Gen. George B. McClellan was placed in nomination. His name aroused great enthusiasm, and when the bal lot was declared it was found that he was nominated. The vote stood; McClellan, 804; Carter, 21: Abbott, 156 ; Stockton, 2. ; The vote lrame- mediately was made unanimous. m e. c fWilson Advance. ; The act of Judge Strong, in receiv ing pay as Judge, from the date of his election in March instead of May, the ?ay he qualified as Judge,' is be ing severely censured by some of. the papers of the' State. We haver no idea that Judge Strong had any cor rupt motive in receiving this money in fact he may have been justifia ble, strictly speaking in law, in d6ing so; still we think it was unfortunate, if not wrong, as the services for which he drew .pay had not 'been aotually rendered for that time. .The very doubt existing on his mind, and which caused him to consult others as to his right to draw the money," should have restrained him from jre ceiving it, notwithstanding the opinf ion of the Attorney General and oth ers in favor of his claim. In matters of this kind, where there are doubts,; either as to the propriety or legality of the act,; it is always best to. bq on the safe side.

Lee was living. v ' The Welcome at Chattanooga. . Chattanooga, Sept. 20 IIayes, Hampton, Evarts, and Kef spoke here to-day. The reception was ' enthusiastic, and Evarts pressed the views of the admlnistr -tion on the restoration of constito tional government. Hampton made a pronounced' speech favoring the? suoDort of , Haves, bv the Democratb party as far as is consistent with Ep- mocratic-pnneiples. -Hampton stai ed for Columbia, Hayes goes to Knoj vine. ; Bishop Thos. 0. Dudley, (Prot. taht Episcopal of Kentucky, who.is an ex-(Jonfederate, maroned in tne ranks v of the" ex-Confederates wh& welcomed 'President Hayes 'to Lou isville. ; In a meeting to organize toe ex;-Conf ederate8 for the reception the Bishop said that the President "id commended himself to the respeej of all good citizens by his manly film ness in honestly adhering to the ry letter of his promises." POLITICAL POINTS. According to a Boston paper Hon. Robert C. Winthrop is not a Repub: lican, and the Democrats do not claim him. But he approves the President's policy. The victory of Mr. Cornell over Mr. Hayes and his entire Cabinet is some thine more than a personal triumph, for the issue between them involved the essen tial principle of civil service reform as de filed by the President, and the defeat of the latter necessarily implies the defeat of his policy. Baltimore Gazette, Dem. Every man who did anything for the Hayes and Packard ticket in Loui siana last fall i3 going to get a good, fat berth in the New Orleans custom honse. This is the way real civil service reform thrusts itself to the front, in spite of the desperate efforts made in some quarters to In commenting on the South Carolina revelations, the New York Irxbune holds that every good Republican, from Maine to Texas, should rejoice that at last the disgraceful stories at whicn tuey nave been eomnellcd to nan? their heads and blush are brought to the test of a judicial aeCISIQn under circuuiBiau.ea wuiuu guo reason to hope for a fan trial.

That yarn about -Henry Berry Lowery being alive is said in Robeson to be a huge "snake story." . Asheville Citizen: As far as we have learned, the tobacco crop of this sec tion wiU be a good one. A large number of farmers have from one to ten acres in tobacco, while some few have planted much more largely. Statesvillo American: A couple of colored men came to Stateaville last Saturday, with a view of addressing the people of that race upon emigrating to Africa, but not meeting with a sufficient crowd, deferred the matter to a future' time. Milton Chronicle: Send along your money, friends, if you are due any thing for this paper, and don't be atraid. The idea that it costs nothing tp publish a newspaper is an awful mistake, although publishers may live on the wind. Don't throw stones if you live in a glass bouse, and should you be "pot" you better be a little cautious how you charge "kettle" with being black. This will apply as well in politics as morals, and we commend it to pot-house politicians. , Raleigh Register: We hear it on the streets that Mr. W. H. Hicks, son-in-law of Judge Strong, and Col.
