ENGELHARD. ' Our community was shocked and Hurprised to learn on yesterday after noon that . Major Joseph A. Engel hard, Secretary of State, and so well known in Wilmington, where he long I rAow tin nan (iiph nr. ivaipi rrn or. a. o'clock on that day. The Raleigh I fitics of Friday bad reported him much improved, and his friends were encouraged with the hope that he "would soon bejrestored to health. But the strong man has fallen in the midst of. his years. Maj. Engelhard was born at Monti cello, Mississippi, September '27tb, 1832. lie was graduated at the Uni versity of North Carolina in 1854. He read law at Harvard, at Chapel Hill, and at Raleigh. In 1856 he was licensed to practice in the county courts of the State, and in 1857 was licensed to practice in the Superior Courts. OaSeptember 26th, 1855, he was united in marriage to Miss Mar garet E. Cotton, of Florida. He re- . moved to Tarboro in 1857 where he entered upon the practice of his pro fession. In 1861 he entered the army and became Quartermaster of the 33.1 regiment, N. C. State troops, with rank of Captain. He was pro moted in 1862 to the rank of Major and became Quartermaster of General Branchli brigade. In 1862 he was transferred to Gen. W. D. Pender's brigade and served as Adjutant Gen eral. He afterwards became Adju tant General of Pender's division, and surrendered with it at Appo mattox, it being then known as Wil cox's division. In 1866' he removed to this city and became co-proprietor and editor of thV Wilmington Jour nal. He was a very influential editor, and rendered considerable ser vice to the Democratic party during the many years he was connected with that widely known paper. In 1872 he was a delegate to the . Na tional Democratic Convention. In 1876 be was nominated by the Dem ocratic State Convention for the office of Secretary of State, land in August of that year was elected, re ceiving, as we have understood, the highest vote on the State ticket. He has been in office a few weeks be yond two ye ai s, and has discharged his duties satisfactorily and effi ciently. '.' . : I ' , Major Engelhard was a vigorous writer and speaker, and;, his j canyass in 1876 was diligent, earnest and beneficial to the cause he espoused He had many warm and attached friends here and in many other sec tions of the State, who wilj deeply grieve at his comparatively early death. In the full strength of an unusually vigorous ; manhood, with his intellect just fairly culminating, and apparently with many years of a I jThe week's work has been quite labo brif. r,A fnM .h ,Jfnl "Qua. toe sessions extending to late in the ... , , . . , ...

We purposed some two ' or three -J- cuiuiueuia nPon a very sensational and startling announcement we saw in the Wash ington JPost concerning the plans of the Radicals to capture the House. It was to the effect that they have a scheme on foot to bribe and buy all the 'Independents, Nationals and Greenbaokers in the next House, and finally to indict, convict and im prison, under the Election law, seven Democratic members, so as to enable the Republicans to organize the House. We thought this probably a very exaggerated statement, but it has exoited much comment, specially in Washington and New York. If the editor of the. Posi has not" been im posed npon it is a most villainous and revolutionary proceeding, or plan, and if attempted to be carried out I will cause such a high old excitement as has not been seen in many a day. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia ledger writes: "Governor Tilden and his friends, on the contrary, are represented to have diff- aww vino. a uv w uwauw u con- and are amazed that Senator Bayird' should take issue with Senator I Thurman as to its existence. As for the Republicans, they are disposed to laugh at and make light of the whole business." Senator Jones is certain that his telegraph bill will pass the Senate by a handsome majority. Senator Jones says he is prepared to meet and answer the argument that it infringes on the Democratic doctrine of State rights. He regards the Western Union the most gigantio monopoly in present the subject ofhismission this after tha wnrM On n Ario-innl invMt- Uoon.at St. James' Church; and he will also ment 'about twelve years ago of $385,000, the company is now paying 7 per cent, dividends on a stock of over forty millions. After giving Senator Nicholson's bill for adjusting our Slate debt, the I Philadelphia Jress thns comments : - "This would be comical if the sub stratum of it was not rascality. North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia make a brilliant trio, soon to be turned into a quar tette by the addition of Louisiana. Worst of ill, Such diseases spread, and there is no knowing where they will stop." In New York city, since November 1st, there have been 22,570 cases of scarlet fever.

Smaughlest city circulation!!!!!! Largest city circulation? Whew! Remember the Sabbath. In Bellevne Cemetery, during the past week, there was one iqterrnen? In "Oakdale" one stillborn was interred for the week ending yesterday. Mr. F. A. Newbury, of this city, shipped to the North yesterday ten thousand wild plants. There is an unmailable letter in the city postoffice, addressed to Mrs, Mary Neel, Goldsboro, N. C. It is reported that there was an inBurance of twenty thousand dollars on the life of Maj. Engelhard Two adults and two children were buried in Pine Forest Cemetery for the week closing yesterday. Only one marriage license issued within a week. The Register of Deeds may be a robust man a very Sam(p)son in strength but he can't keep up his avoir- dunois on license food like that mentioned. The best answer to a hundred inquiries as to whether rroi. Dare, the tight-rope performer, had met with a fatal accident in Charleston, will be to say that the report is false. He had two thousand people in Savannah, Ga., on Friday last, to see his performance. Rev. Dr. Gallendet, Rector of St. Ann's congregation of Deaf Mutes in the city of New York, may be expected to preach at St. John's Church, to-night,when reference will, b'e made to the same subject. Protection to masters of Vessels and Seamen It is understood that a meeting of the Board of Aldermen will be held Monday night, and we trust that in the exercise of their powt-i to make all needful police reg- nlatlons, they may adopt an ordinance, with the most stringent provisions, to pun ish persons who engage in the criminal practice of enticing seamen from their ships aud then conceal them. In every other commercial community the municipal regulations on-this point are made strong, sometimes a heavy tax being laid on those who entertain such guests. In Bristol, England, it ia a penalty of 10 to go aboard of Bhips without the masters' con sent, and section 238 of the Shipping act provides that "if, within twenty-four hours after the arrival of any ship at any port, any person then being on board such ship solicits any seaman to become a lodger at the house of any person letting lodgings for hire, or takes ou of such ship any effects of any seaman, except under his personal direction, and with the per mission of the master, shall, for every such offence, incur a penalty not exceeding five pounds." We merely instance this case as showing that particular care is taken elsewhere to protect shipping against evil dis posed intruders. The penalty of imprison ment, until fine is paid, would work like a charm. A LlTelV Kleetlon. At the Catholic festival, Friday night, at Germania Hall, a fine gold-headed ebony cane was on exhibition, and it was arranged to present it to the gentleman who, through the ballot-box, should receive the greatest1 number of votes. The contest was a lively one, and though there was no ballot-box stuffling, tissue tickets in the na ture of greenbacks were freely employed by the friends of different gentlemen . in buvine the riebt of suffrage- The elec tion was held by Judges John J. Fowler, M. J. Dingelhoef and T. Donlan, with the folio wine result: T. Donlan received 155 votes, F. H. Darby 94, John Sweeney 52, Maj. James Reilly 32, L. Vollsrs 24, B. P. Ryan 12, and that never elected, but al ways trying old fellow. Scattering 22 Total 392. Mr. J. J. Fowler, after the result had been proclaimed, was solicited to make the presentation, and he did it in a neat, but sensibly brief and bappy speech, and Mr. Donlan acknowledged the partiality shown him in an unpretentious but sensible manner. The festival was, in a pecuniary point of view, as well as a source of enjoyment, a success. V . . ' Tne Comma Lecture by Col. Ittettae. We remind the readers of the Star of the lecture s , of Col. . McRae, , to-morrow evening, at the Opera House. The sub ject, "Laughter," in the hands of an intel lectual popinjay, would indeed; be an unsa vory dish, but we are safe in predicting that out of if , when treated by a man Bkilled in language, and possessing a magazine of mental ammunition almost exhaustless, a wonderful fund of instruction, and humor; and satire will be wrought In the City. Mr. J. D. Spruqt, formerly of this city, but now a resident of Brunswick, Ga., and ia business there, is on a visit here to his. family. He was once Assistant Chancellor of the Star Etcheuer, . and, like us, rather a good type of a' hungry man,' but the Empire State of the South agrees with hrav as Is, illustrated . by his Aldermanic proportions. May bis physical and flnan cial shadow never be less. OENING STA N. C., SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1879. Oeatb of Die J. Enselhard. The first tidings of a decided disadvan tageous change in the condition of the late Secretary of State Engelhard, . whose death occurred yesterday, was received at 9 o'clock in the morning in a telegram to Dr. George G . Thomas, which stated that he was dangerously ill and rapidly growing worse. At half-past 4 o'clock the sad intelligence of his decease was telegraphed, and the news soon spread throughout the length and breadth of the city. The expression of re (tfaI woo tirtf vaatV! Atari Kw nrilltinol isn Kiderations. or confined; any colorto line- it was general, and a number of flags were half-masted in token of respect for our late fellow citizen. No information can be obtained as to where his remains will be interred, but it is supposed they will be carried to Tarboro, the burial place of numerous relatives of his family. Dr. Geo. G. Thomas, and several other relatives and friends of the deceased, will leave here this morning for Raleigh. nterestlns; Pythian Event. German Lodge, No. 4, JL of P., of this city, has very appropriately decided to cele brate the 15th anniversary of the formation of the Order of which it is so creditable a representative. Next Wednesday, the natal day of knighthood, will be signalized by a mounted parade, Knights in full uni form, and the promise is that the display will be very creditable. The procession will form on Fifth, between Chestnut and Mulberry, and pass through the principal streets, passing in review before the Mayor at the City Hall. The Grand Chancellor, G. P., District Deputy G. C.'s, as well as Uniformed Knights, will ocenpy car riages. municipal Affaire Result of the Con ference. The conference of Ward Committees yesterday afternoon had the desired effect. After a free interchange of opinion on municipal affairs, it was unanimously de cided to petition the Legislature to continue the present Board of Aldermen in office for two years longer. This was done, how ever, with a clear understanding that the incumbents would resign whenever a ma jority of the voters of their respective Wards request them to do so. This is all we care to know. Such ac tion secures.unity of action in the Dem ocratic party as to the measure mentioned. Fire at Fair Bin ft. We learn ihat a fire occurred at Fair Bluff, in Columbus county, on he-line of the Columbia & Augusta Railroad, Thurs day night, destroying a cooper shop, the property of Mr. J. M. Powell, a merchant at that place, and had it not been for the united efforts of the citizens Mr. P. would have lost his dwelling. The loss to the owner of the property is about $150. The occupants of the shop, Henry Powell and Henry Barden, two worthy colored men, lost all their tools and material. Our cor respondent says the colored people worked like Trogans to extinguish the fames. Criminal Court There was another long session of this tribunal yesterday, Judge Meares presiding, and the following business disposed of State vs. Susan Winstead, charged with bigamy. Verdict, not guilty. , State vs. John Outlaw, assault and bat tery. . Case submitted. State vs. Frank Moore, assault and bat tery. Verdict, not guilty State vs. Richard Brown and John Davis, affray. Continued upon bond of $50 each Tor their appearance at next term State vs. Lewis Spencer, wilful trespass, Verdict, not guilty. Still Coming In. Another instalment of stolen goods perhaps a part of the Smithville spoils was deposited in Squire Gardner's office yesterday, making the third haul by that shrewd rouge-sceater. Officer Nicholas Carr. The experience of the last few days indicates the existence in our city of regularly organized gangs of thieves. The last recovery was made from the "Long House," foot of Church street, and the first from beyond the shops of the W. & W. Railroad, At the Bar Robert H. McKoy, Esq , who recently underwent an examination before the Su preme Court, successfully passed, and was licensed to practice law. made his initial bow before Judge Meares' Court yesterday. We did not hear bim speak, but in the examination of a witness he djs played cleverness, dexterity and skill. To-Day Indications.
