The supervi sors and a; test-oath features were piuued on to the appropriation bill, and thus "passed. It is proposed to repeal them in the same way'. The Radicals think the repeal will make capital for them in the North. If the maturest. most prudent and wisest Democrats in Congress think that the repeal of these detestable and oppressive laws is worth an extra session, th'eu, iv seems to us, there should be no hesitancy. It is thought by the. Radicals that Senator Bayard's oounsel will prevail, and . that the Democrats will reconsider their cau ens action. The Washington cor respondent of the Richmond State says of the repeal question on the 12th: "The subject was discussed in Cabinet yesterday, and it seemed to bq agreed that as he lest-oath law was repealed a few years ago, and now stands upon the statute book only through an error in revision, it ought to be repealed, and it would be poli tic for the- Kepubhcans to take the initia tive."''"": ' .,. ;The Oxford Torchlight, instead of firing at Wilmington, would do well to train its artillery upon the.

American silversmiths are asserting their superiority. At the Paris Ex position Messrs. Tiffany & Co., of New York, were awarded the . grand prize, and also the distinction of the decoration of the Legion of Honor. The Baltimore American says: "American silversmiths, by the skilful use of various alloys and by combinations of different metals, prod ace rich tones of color and effects of texture to their plate which excite the wonder and admiration of European connoisseurs.. Even in so tho roughly an artistic industry as this it is evi dent that the young nation can compete successfully with the old world."

' " ns sn e ' mnnlelpal Affaire Ttoe Democratic . Executive Commlttee.and tbe Ward neetlnc. There appears to be some misunderstand ing as to the 'recent action of the Demo cratic ' Executive Committee regarding municipal offices. It maybe well to say, therefore, that an application of consider able! strength and character was made to that committee to ask the Legislature, now in session, to pass an act continuing the present Board of Aldermen in office for another term. The committee, consider ing that such an application exceeded their authority, decided to submit the matter to the several wards of the city for their ac tiori, and accordingly called a meeting of the j several wards on last Monday night Upon receiving the reports of the various wards it appeared that the propositions, at submitted, had not received the sanction of a majority of the wards, but; it appearing that the general sentiment was in favor of some such action, the ' committee thought best to refer the whole subject back to the wards and ask them to appoint a commit tee of conference from each, who could agree upon a satisfactory plan of pro cedure, and which would meet, if possible, With universal approval. This is a plain statement of facts, and the question of decisive action in the prem ises is therefore still an open one. Recovery air Stolen Ooode A Cliarm !. lnc Variety stare Bagged.

The following report of the President was then submitted, to the Society : : Gentlemen Again we have the pleas ure of greeting you in this, our Twenty sixth annual meeting, which calls us to gether to consult upon the ways and means best suited to advance the material prosperi ty and usefulness of our society. The past year, like several of its predecessors, has been one of continued business depression through all branehes of manufacture, ship ping and trade, and the Heme has not been exempt from its depressing effects. We have not had the financial prosperity we looked for. Our buildings have not Tented for as good rates as we had hoped, and we have not been able to meet more than our current expenses, and. have paid nothing on the bonded ..debt. Our main building is still uncompleted, and we would especially call your attention and In voke your aid in devising . some plan whereby we can put it in rather a better condition for the comfort of the inmates. During the past year we' have, succeeded in procuring the sick seamen from the gov ernment, to accomplish which we have made repeated efforts for several years past, and during the plst summer they were tamed over under contract to out Mr. Gilbert, the keeper of the Home. In compliance with the resolution at last meet ing, we have made , application to : the parent society of New York city for a Bpeciai donation of one hundred dollars, to assist us in finishing the third floor of the building to make it comfortable for sleeping apartments, which donation we confidently .expect will be granted. And, upon such improvements being completed, we can reasonably expect a better revenue next year. We gratefully acknowledge the ! generosity of the parent society iu New York, whose grant of four hundred dollars during the past year enabled us to pay the salary of our Chaplain, a report of whose Christian labors we may expect at this meeting. For a detailed statement of our financial condition you are referred to the report of our Treasurer. Captain Gil bert, keeper of the Home, will render an account of his department. Respectfully submitted, George R. French, Sr.. President S. F. Society. Wilmington, N. C, February 4, 1879. :i Auotner Cllncber. We have already stated the advantages of Wilmington as a cotton market, as well as the fact that molasaesjs placed here, at Wholesale, at figures thatnoother .city in the country can exceed for cheapness. We now add that a gentleman in Charleston writes to this city to make . a purchase of salt; stating that there the price is 90 cents a sack. In Wilmington he will obtain it at 70 cents a difference of 20 cents per1 sack, and certainly a matter of, very considerable importance to buyers." wf , ,1 ' . These facts illustrate what Wilmington can and does do in many branches of trade, both in buying and selling, and tin pur chasing from as well .as in importing for the agricultural and industrial interests of the State. We do not, as a city, seek special advan tages through legislative - action or other wise. What we ask is, - that the efforts of the business community may be strength ened by a judicious internal improvement policy, and that the people of the State, in their own real interest, oth the broad .basis of state welfare, shall endeavor to build up at least -one emporium through which direct trade may Be iaaintained wlth Eu rope, both by steam and sail . , !

The. friends of, the measure freely admit its defeat,' and it is thought that the Raleigh & Augusta, Air Line Company will withdraw the bill when it goes to the Sen-, ate rather than to have1 it passed with the clause last above mentioned applying to its line already completed. Of course we are glad that the bill .has been defeated, but contend as stoutly as ever that its defeat was a wise piece of legislation, not for the city of Wilmington only but for a- large 'portion of North Carolina. meeting of the ' Grand-Lodge K. of -P.

Jno. L. Dudley and P. G. C. W. H. Gerken, on behalf of the Grand Lodge, in handsome terms- The hospitalities of the town were ex tended to .the Grand Lodge and visitors present by the Mayor of Fayetteville in a chaste and timely speech. A banquet was given at the Fayetteville Hotel by Cumber land Lodge in honor of the Grand Lodge, and we learn .that most of the assem bled guests, when they retired from the spacious dining room of the hotel, were too full for utterance. We will endeavor to glean other particu lars from G. C. Dudley as soon as possible, and publish them iu the Stab for the bene fit of its 'many readers.

In spite of the fact that the Opera House is net open,' we are not to be left altogether without attractive entertainments.1 At the Tillston Upper Room this evening, Allen's deservedly popular cantata, "The School Festival,' will be presented, and the "Fam ily Chorus"' will sing that charming little piece, "We'll have to Mortgage the Farm," while the ''Calisthenic Club" is to give the celebrated "Anvil Chorus," in itself, when properly rendered,one of the finest musical productions of the age. These pieces, in conjunction .with Sj pleasing pantomime, ought to bring together a multitude of peo ple of cultivated and refined taste.
