It is said that twenty per cent, of the number of pensions now paid by the govern ment are improperly obtained by false swearing or personation, or other frauds. The outlook for Wilmington is im proving. The Senate has passed by a large majority a bill granting aid to the Railroad from Greensboro to Ore Knob. The House has passed the bill favoring the road known as the Cape -Fear & Yadkin Railroad. If the House now passes the' former and. the Senate the latter bill, one im portant act of legislation will have been perfected. That greatest of living Southern authors, Dr. James C. Southall, of Virginia, has recently had a paper prepared by him read before the Philosophical Society of Great Bri tain. The Richmond Dispatch says: "The subject of the paper Was, " 'The Lapse of Time Since the Glacial Epoch, Determined bv the Date of the 1 Polished- Slone Age.' The view presented is original with Dr. Southall And-very striking, and it is argued with ereat learning and ability. The paper was well received by i the Philo sophical Society, and excited much favor able comment.' A full report will appear in the published proceedings." j. Those papers that are fighting "re trenchment and reform" will be in a strong position for the fight in 1880, when the Democratic party is re 'minded of its pledges in ' the past. 'The idea of some papers appears to Jbe that because a man seeks office and gets it, he must at once be paid three or four times as much .. as be would be for the same amount of work and responsibility in every day life.

Xbe Ward meetings Last Right. At the meetings of the Democratic voters of the several Ward Clubs held last even ing, a resolution from the City Executive Committee was submitted, the purport of which was to petition the General Assem. bly to continue the present Board of Alder men in office for the ensuing term of two years, it being understood that the Demo cratic Aldermen from any Ward should resign did a majority of the party in the Ward desire it. The first Ward unanimously adopted the resolution above outlined. The Second Ward meeting voted down the resolution, and appointed a committee to confer with the City Executive Commit tee as to what was best to be done under the circumstances. At the meeting of the Democrats of the Third Ward the resolution petitioning the continuance of the present Board in office wa4 unanimously adopted, and the part coucerning the conditional resignations of the present Aldermen laid on the table. A resolution requesting that the city Execu tive Committee petition the Legislature to continue the present Board of Audit and Finance in office for another term was also adopted. Upon the conclusion of business Alderman Bowden made a stirring speech, ef a few moments duration in which he stated he would willingly resign at any time did a maioritv of the Democrats of his Ward see fit to so intimate or request. The Fourth Ward Democratic Club elec ted the following officers for the ensuing Campaign: President W. P. Odham. Vice Presidents J. C. Stevenson and J. I. Macks. Secretary and Treasurer J. W. Gallo way. The resolutions from the Executive Committee were read by the Secre tary and freely discussed. Mayor S H. Fishblate made a feeling speech, stating that he would gladly sacrifice himself, and resign his position whenever a majority ef the Democratic voters of the Ward deemed it admissible, and wished this fact distinctly understood by all, as he would net for a moment hold a position when the interest of the party demanded his resignation thereof. The following motion-; was finally. unanimously adopted Resolved, By the Democratic voters ef the Fourth Ward, that the city .Executive Committee be requested to petition tne General Assembly, now in session, to con tinue the present Hoard of Aldermen or the city of Wilmington in office for the term of two years. The Fifth Ward meeting unanimously adopted the resolution recommending the city Executive Committee to get the Gene ral Assembly, at its present session, to pass an act continuing the present Board of Al dermen in office for two years. The whole thing briefly summed up is that the Demoeratie voters in four ouLof five wards of the city unanimously adopted the resolution to request the Legislature to continue the present Board of Aldermen in existence for two years, and the dissent ing Ward appointed a committee of three to confer with the Executive Committee as to the best measures to be adopted. Tne Next Hop. A man, either in ancient or modern times, we forget which, addressed the goddess of the light fantastic tee thusly "Oh. thou whom I adore, . ; Terpsy, Terpsichore!" and this in spite of the fact that her chief diet is said to have been eels. Whether this is merely legendary or veraeious in history, is a matter of indifference; she has the world over votaries, and a legion of them in this city. The Lotus Club will again enroll their names in .her service on the 12th inst., Wednesday evening next, at the .Germania Hall, and this one of their pleasant hops is intended to be complimentary to the Marrid Men for the handsome style in which they entertained L' Arioso and the Lotus Clubs at the eame place.

Iredell Johnson; Moses D. Motte, George Leonard, John ; I R. Latta, Louis Davis, Alex. -Moore, Henry Shepard, Jesse Lowe, Wm. Kellogg. Jas. P. Walton and Thomas Ennett. After tbey had been sworn in, the Judge delivered his charge. It was incisive against crime, but a clear, dispassionate, forceful statement of law andfaots a hand book or guide, with the lines of duty so distinctly developed that it will be difficult for either the interests of the State or of individuals to suffer' from the action of a jury with such a chart bef ore them. After recessing the Court reassembled, the following petit jury ia service: Benj. White, Ro. White, W. H. Clark, Wash ington Burkhemer, D. J. Gilbert, R. F. Eyden, John Casteen, B. F.

State vs. James Thompson and Annie Williams, fornication and adultery. Not guilty. The Court then adjourned until 10 o'clock to-day. Plstolleal Excitement. Considerable excitement was ereated yesterday afternoon by a report that Capt. Wm. J. Pen ton had been shot and danger ously wounded. We are glad to correct that rumor. It is stated to us that Capt. Penton was engaged by Capt. Buchan, of the British bark NtTth Carolina, to finish up his crew for him, and that while Capt. Penton was on his way to the bark with two seamen, who vowed they would not ship on any other vessel, he was accosted by Capt. C. F. Gilbert, in a very excited tone, with these words, "What have you taken my men for?" It was alleged in Justice J. C. Hill's office that Capt. G. im mediately thereafter drew a revolver and fired at Capt. P., at a distance of about four feet, and that the blaze from the pistol burnt the latter'a face. After recovering his self-possession and discovering thai the sailors with him had stepped Capt G in an attempt to assault him with the weapon a second time, and Without any hostile demonstration on Capt P.'s part, the latter applied for and obtained a warrant against capt Gilbert, who was required to give and gave, a bond of $200 for his appear ance at the present term of the Criminal Court. This is the affair, and the facts, as we are informed; elicited by the investigation before Justice Hill. We are really glad that it is not half so bad as busy rumor made it appear, and that nobody is really hurt Revenue Case. United States Commissioner Edward Cantwell yesterday made the following ruling in case No. 8, United States vs. Britt & Luther, from Robeson county: The revenue laws require every person engaged in the business of retailing liquors to have a license so to do, but it is not ne cessary that the license shall contain the names of every peiaon or any person n gaged under such license, provided the names of all acting under it are known to the Collector, and registered with him, and any person so registered may retail liquor at one place under the same license. De fendant's discharged.. Democratic meeting at Rocky Point. A Democratic meeting was held in this Township, Pender county, on Saturday last, Joseph H. Westbrook presiding, and Jas. F. Moore acting as Secretary, with a view of recommending a successor to F. Gemburg, Esq., as Magistrate. Thomas H. McLenden, Esq., was the unanimous choice of the meeting for the successor ship. The becretary was instructed to forward the proceedings to the State Sena tor and member of the House, with a re quest to exert themselves in behalf of his appointment. The Oxford Orphans. We unintentionally omitted, in mention ing the contributions from this city te the Oxford Orphan Asylum, to note ia the offi cial circular $10 from Cel. Donald Mac- Rae, and $6.50 from Wilmington Lodge, No. 319, F. & A. M.

Special Coroner A. H. Leslie was called upon to hold an inquest, last Sunday, over the body of a colored girl about eight years old an orphan who had been, for some time previous to her death, living with Sarah Allen, a colored woman who was residing on the corner of Eleventh and Wooster. streets. The facts elicited were of the most heinous nature. It appeared in evidence that the little girl, Julia Ann Williams, had not only been beaten in a most outrageous and brutal manner, but also subjected to exposure which, of itself, was almost or quite enough to have pro duced death. The accomplice in these transactions was Virginia Ann Hines, and it is not over drawing the mangled condition of the child's body to say that it was exceptional to find any part of it without marks of savage treatment. The post mortem exami nation indicated that death was produced jointly by the beating and exposure, and Coroner Leslie sent the two fiendish fe males to jail. The facts are of a character to make it certain that .they will be tried for mnrder, and it is difficult to see how they can escape gibbeting. The magistrates. James Anderson was brought from jail yesterday, where he was confined on the charge of attempting to unlawfully enter the house of Mr. W. A. Wilson, in the night time, and arraigned before Justice Gardner or another offence; breaking into the front window of C. Rosenthal's boot and shoe establishment on Market street, and steal ing a number of pairs of shoes. He was required to give a justified bond of $100 for his appearance at the present term of the C. C, and failing, was trotted back to prison. Lewis Spencer,, charged with perjuiy, was required by the same Justice to give $50 bond to answer before the same tribu nal, which he did, having waived an exam ination of the case. In the case of State vs. Mary Stewart, charged with assault and battery on Laura Haggett, she was found sufficiently guilty to make a bond of $100 necessary to certify her appearance at the present term of Judge Meares' Court, in default of which she went to jail. Attempted Incendiarism. A young gentleman, returning home last evening about 9 o'clock, discovered a blaze under a small unoccupied house on the south side of Chesnut, between Third and Fourth streets. The flames were extin guished and Capt. Fitzgerald, of the police force, notified of the occurrence. He re paired to the spot and found that several boards had been wrenched from the piazza, broken into small pieces, piled together and then fired as if with the systematic purpose of having a conflagration. It was fortunate, indeed, that Ihejjurpose of the villains was checkmated at such an oppor tune period of the game. mayor's Conrt. Thomas Hines was before this Court, yesterday, with the appendage of d. c. to his name, and the Mayor agreed to strike it off if he would pay $5, otherwise he would have to extinguish the city claim Jby ten days in the CP. Chas. Dewitt, d. C, was fined $2.50 or five daysf in the C. P., and he paid up. Jane Fulford and Mary Anderson, col ored, were arrested on the charge of wooding up" from the vicinity of the gas house. However, as no prosecutor ap peared and the wood was not identified, they were released on bond for their ap- ear ance when wanted.
