Tle President Vie wa mm to the Soutli- ra Outrages His Information to bo Called for RHcnlgau made Solid Ite publican by Fran a. Special dispatch to Baltimore Sun. J Washington, December 6. Very few Southern members of Congress have so far called at the White House'. To such as have made their appearance there the President has intimated that he entertains the most kindly feeling for the 'South, and has a lively interest in its prosperity. He considers; that the language which he used in his message, as appplied to Southern politics, was very mild un der all the circumstances, and that he was only fulfiling his constitution al duty in. calling the attention of Congress to what he can only look upon as violations of the constitution and the laws. He says that he could not be expected to remain silent when in his belief the laws which he was sworn to execute have been disre garded. He says, as he has several times before remarked, he does not impute any want of good, faith to either Governor Nicholls or Governor Hampton. Some of. the Southern members have intimated to the Pres ident that it would be proper for him to furnish a detailed statement of the information on which he bases his views, and the probability is that a resolution will be introduced into one or both houses asking him to do so. It is believed to be absolutely true, as has been several times stated, that the only basis for the charges against the States of Louisiana and South Carolina rests upon the unsupported declarations of men who have long since forfeited all claims to respect, upon anonymous letters, and upon the manufactuied dispatches which have been sent from this point by partisan correspondents. j HOW MICHIGAN WAS SOLIDIFIED, j Gen. A. S. Williams, the only De mocratic member from Michigan, was, as will be recollected, defeated for re-election. Mr. Zachariah Chan dler, who -left here in the summer with the boast that he intended to send a solid Republican delegation from Michigan, made a most tremendous- fight against Gen. Williams. Money was used without stint, as were . all other means available to able' arid unscrupulous ' politicians. The Republican plan of campaign in his and other districts in Michigau will be brought to the attention of Mr. Blaine's investigating committee when its gets to work. Proof is said to be ready of the intimidation of 2, 500 voters in Gen. Williams' district alone. It is said, by the way, that Gen Williams will be a candidate for Sergeant-at-Arms of the" Senate.

N. C.v TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 18781 WbatWaa contained In a Barrel or 'V!nesr. ; . Mr. J. E. Flowers, of Fayetteville, who arrived here from Point Caswell on the ite'amer iV7 Oast, last night, brought for Our inspection a huge snake-skin, which he says was'foqad a few days since in the bot tom of a vihegar barrel. 'The vinegar1 was purchased W thisclty about three tor four years ago by ; Mr. James Shoard, and subse quently sold, with the balance of his stock,! to, Mr. no.t wi ;TippUt at Beaiiey's Bridge, aboat tea miles , above Point Cas-i well.. In a country neighborhood a barrel of: vinegar lasts a long time, and the one in queBtloo never gave out until a , few days ago, as above stated.; The barrel was then: purchased by Mr.J-B. Gaylor, who wanted it (oput beer in, and upon knock ing out the head. of : the barrel the snake skin was discovered in the bottom of it, to gether with a kind of . jelly, about three inches' in' ' depths 'in which upon examination, was found some of the bones of the snake. The vinegar, as it got towards the bottom of the barrel, bad. to be strained before it - could be used. The skin, as it appeared to us, being in several pieces, was about six feet in length and four inches in diameter,; but Mr. Flowers said a portion of it was missing. The vicegar is said to have "soured" on some of the. residents at the bridge since they have found out about the "seasoning" it contained, which certainly could not have added materially to the pleasantness of the flavor. The question is, how did the snake get into the barrel 1 Dr. Simpson and several other gentlemen have advanced their various theories oa the subject, but of course none of them are known to be correct. Another Case ot Bnrslary and Kob- berv .1". ' Yesterday morning,' about half past 2 o'clock, the residence of Mr. A. V. Sikes, on Seventh, between Market and Dock streets, was burglariously entered . It ap pears, judging from the tracks, that the thief entered the premises through the gate and first went to the bed-room window, which happened to be fastened down so that be could not move the sash. He next tried the dining-room window, where he was more successful, and was enabled to remove the sash, which was taken out en tirely and placed -upon the ground. He then effected an entrance, opened a door leading into the passage, and from thence passed into the bed-room, where he got a pair of pants belonging to Mr. Sikes, the pockets of which contained a pocket-book, with about seventy cents in money therein, a foot-rule and a bunch of keys, including Mr. S.'s truBk and tool chest keys. About the time he secured the pants the bouse dog discovered and made a furious assault upon the thief, who made his escape in short or der, closely pursued by Mr. Sikes,who had been aroused by the noise made by the dog, but who was unable to get a shot at the f el low with the revolver which he hastily seized. During yesterday intelligence was lodged at police headquarters that a pair of pants, containing an empty pocket-book and a foot-rule, had been ffund in the yard of a gentleman living on pock.between Seventh and Eighth steet8, who had not heard of the theft.,, A messenger was imme diately dispatched for the pants, but they bad, in the meantime disappeared, and the gentleman alluded to could give no further information about them. The thief was no doubt disappointed is the contents of the pocket-book. ... .j meeting ot tne "Wilmlneion Bar. "Shortly after the 'Superior Court con vened, . yesterday morning, Hon.

They were awakened by some one attempting to burst the door open . , ' The house was a large frame building, and was insured for $4,000 in the Hamburg-Bremen, represented by Messrs. J. Wi Gordon & Bro. The furniture, which was all saved, though much Of it in a dami aged condition, was insured in "the same company for $800, The upper part of the building on the west side was badly damaged by fire, and the remainder of it was much injured by water. The ex act extent of the loss cannot be definitely arrived at just now. ' The fire department deserve great credit for their successful efforts in stopping the fire and for the perfect manner in which everything was managed. Fortunately, soon after the fire broke out the wind lulled somewhat. Life' Vicissitudes Facts and He mlnlscenses. f There is an invalid lady in this city, be. tween seventy and eighty years of age, who has never seen a railroad, although living almost in sight of one. The last time she was down the street "shopping" the Courjt House stood in the centre of the thorough fare at the intersection of Front and Mar ket streets, and the Town Hall stood at the intersection of Second and Market streets, in the vicinity of what was then called "Mud Market" She purchased her goods of old Mr. "Sandy" Anderson, otherwise Alexander Anderson, the father of our es teemed fellow-townsmen, Dr. A. E. An derson and Mr. James Anderson, now among our oldest and most prominent citi zens, whose store was on the north side of Market, between Front and Water streets. The only other store she remembers as be ing in existence at that time, which was in he neighborhood of forty years ago, was the one kept by Mr. John Dawson, on the northeast corner of Front and - Market streets. For about twenty-five years du- ring this interval she was confined to her bed, and is now unable to leave her room. It would be impossible to give even a faint idea of the many changes that have taken place during the period that has elapsed since our lady friend went on that shop ping expedition, and if she could now b,e enabled to thread our busy thoroughfares she would feel almost like "a stranger in BStrange land." Still Another Bobbery. Yesterday morning, at 2 O'clock, the in mates of Captain Jesse Fulcher's residence, on Castle, between Front and Second streets, were aroused by one of the mem bers of the family giving alarm of the pre sence of a colored man in one of the bed rooms. The discovery of the intruder caused his instant retreat down one of the stairways, and, we regret to say.he escaped through the front door without the least difficulty.' If known he'has not been iden tified, though steps are in progress which may lead to his capture. It is almost certain that the robber en tered the premises by a rear door,on the first floor, which was not locked, and he must have been in the house some time before the sleepers' awoke and discovered him. His early but ' unceremonious adventure resulted in the capture of $3 or $10 a money, which be extracted from the pock ets of two gentlemen, though the dusky in vader had partially arranged for a much more successfuljfeat. Pantaloons, coats, vestsj etc., were discovered Jo different parts of the residence, folded as carefully as if the thief expected to make his fortune by establishing a country clothing store. It was his misfortune to be discovered: too soon for full success, and he should by all means return and .complete . the raid. Burglary and Attempted Robbery. ; On Sunday morning, between 6 ahd? o'clock, a burglarious entrance was made into' the residence of Mr. J. W. RowelV oh Fifth, between Dock and Orange streets. Mr. R. (her husband being absent) heard the thief when he entered a window open ing intojthe parlor from san alley, and, the noise she made caused him tc beat a pre cipitate retreat. Upon going into the parlor she found the window raised, and a "saw-horse" - standing under it upon which the burglar had stood to conduct his operations and effect an en trance. Nothing was missing, as the thief had lib time to steal anything before he found that be was discovered. ' t v Assaulted Opon Ah street. .

And if something hadn't happened We might haTe stood there still; But we reached for a banging shutter In a blinding northeastTbreeze, So our friends will have to be Invited To join ia the obsequies. , If WE COULD ONLY HAVE KNOWN WHAT a storm was brewing (in a teapot), and how far off that shutter was, we should never have ventured our head outside of that window; but it is too late for regrets now; we are nonplused, completely squelched, have been sat upon, and our friends and the public generally are respectfully invited to at tend the obsequies on SATURDAY NEXT, the 14th instant, and we stake our reputation in Its being the grandest funeral they ever witnessed. As he slips he slides, and every time he slides he slips np most woefully. We leave onr "kind friends'' to find out the meaning of the above, and while they are doing so we will ask a few questions: Haven't We the ugliest and dirtiest store in the State ? . Haven't we the poorest stock of goods in WiK mmgton ? . , - " Haven't we made prices much higher since we commenced ? x Haven't we been very unaccommodating and im polite to you ? 5 Haven't we charged yon for all the goods deliv ered r . Haven't we made a great many mistakes and re fused to correct them when our attention was called thereto I All of our friends who answer "yes" to the above questions will please not buy irom us any more. Respectfully and truly, P. L Bridgers & Co. In glancing over last Sunday's paper we regretted to notice the tacit acknowledgment from some of our brother grocers that we had taken away part of their trade, and making an appeal to the others not to leave them. We regret this exceedingly, espe cially as they were so kind and considerate about our coming to grief, but suppose, as we have deter mined to do the largest Retail Grocery Business ever done in Wilmington, we will in the future have to keep from being so tender hearted, and CUT DOWN PRICES a little more. . The Bloody Chasm Has.Been Bridged! The LITTLE JOKERS are not quite gone. A fine line of TOILET SOAPS received to- day, very low down. The OLD CAPE FEAR is flourishing and MAtt- TELLE swimming. ' We have been over and smoked that "Cigar of Peace,"(a fine Havana it was.) but still think that it would be bad policy to stop furnishing the papers with our fine literary productions, as they have the tendency to keep prices very low, which we of course, with all other good grocers, desire; enly want enough left to pay for clerks' hire, store rent and taxes. Not Puritanical ! Although opposed to the drinking of Liquors, P. IV. BRIOUEBS & GO. are not puritanical enough to refuse to sell them, as they think no FIRST-CLASS GROCERY STORE can afford to be without; but they promise the ladies that tbey would never find out there was any on the premises, as it must be taken elsewhere to be drank. - BUMGARDNER, STUART'S DEW and DURHAM OLD RYE, received this week TRY OUR BUTTER AND LARD. s The purest, oldest, and beet CORN. WHISKEY In the State, to be bought only at P. L. Bridgers & Co's. P. S. We feel highly flattered at the notice taken of our advertisements, especially by a fellow grocer, who was not surprised at the absence of our usual Sunday morning ad, on account of one of our friends having gone to New York Saturday night. declO tf P.
