' '" ' It looks a little just now as if tbe Johnny Roach subsidy will not pass the Senate. . ' The Philadelphia Democrats are said to be almost unanimous for Bay ard for President. The House has passed all of the appropriation bills but two the Sundry Civil, and Legislative, Judi cial and Executive. There are no less than five pedes trians hard at it in New York, peg ging away against time and distance. It h becoming slightly stale. The Committee on Commerce voted $5,800,000 away by the River and Harbor bill. Of this amount eleven States get two-thirds-the remain ing twenty-seven States one-third. There is complaint. ! What is the Legislature going to do about education? Are the com mon schools to continue on the old basis? Is the Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction to be really a; clerk in an office? We can perform' the cler ical duties the year round by devo ting two hours daily. We. speak what we do know. . '. ; Governor Hampton takes the posi tion that negro suffrage is the logi cal consequence of negro citizenship, and that the South Will oppose his disfranchisement. As we have said several times in these columns, the white people of the South are the truest and best friends of the col ored people, and the time will oome .when they alone can prevent them from being stripped of their Jran--chise. Rev. Dr. Fulton, of Brooklyn, a leading .Baptist, accused j Rev. Dr. Samson, another distinguished Bap tist, of being "a secessionist in sen timent during the war." He was asked to retract but refused. He was then expelled from the Associa tion. He now retracts. The papers say he is conducting a revival, and his heart has been softened thereby. Prayer ia a prime . way to get 1 the heart , right. -When the heart is right the actions will correspond. On Monday there was a debate over Talmage in the Brooklyn Pres bytery. It was finally I agreed to postpone tbe case until March 10th, 1879. Some hard hits were given the star preacher. Talmage wanted a postponement as he was going off on a lecture tour. Whereupon Dr. Van Dyke said he would break fifty en gagements rather than go out to the world with such a cloud on his fame, and the prospect of a man charged with such a crime and not caring for it was to him an unpleasant one. Major Reno's trial has; ended, but the finding of the conrt is not known. How much responsibility) justly at taches to him for . the slaughter at Little Big Horn is wrapped in clouds and darkness. The Philadelphia Times says of the trial : 'The prosecution was ready to show tbat General Reno not only distrusted General Custer, but was actually Jealous of his fame. This sort of testimony was ruled out or the case would bav looked worse Btill. On tbe otherband.it is to be said that the-charge of cowardice and incapacity from drink made agaiost General Reno does not seem to be sustained. A cruel lack of zeal in supporting his overwhelmed comrades appears to have been his worst offense." ' j FT" VOL. XXIII.--NO. 127. LonieiaDa Democrats Indicted. tSpecial Correspondence N. Y, World. . Nbw Oblsans, Feb. 13. The po litical prosecutions in Hhe U. S. Dis trict Court are becoming serious. Al ready 'indictments against nearly a hundred prominent Democrats hare been found, with promises of many more, lne lirand Jury, largely com posed of men holding official positions I rn the Custom ( House, and ' others I who are intimately connected with the Republican party, has been organized for a special purpose, and is doing its work well. The evi dence on which the indictments are obtained is not worthy of credence. The witnesses are ignorant negroes, who are brought to the city at the expense of the government, and paid $3 a day for such time as they may be away from home. When it is re membered that these men . rarely re ceive more than. $22 per month for labor in the cane or cotton field, it can be readily seen how easy it is for the t representatives of the govern ment to obtain men to swear to any thing. Yon have but to visit the first field you oome to to obtain men who for $3 a day will swear, if the j exigencies of your case require it, I tbat they themselves were killed by I Democrats on election day, and that I tney nave been restored to life by I Divine interposition to bring ! the I guilty to justice. , And it is with in-1 By -leave, Mr. Alexander intro struments such as these that the pre-1 duced a bill to amend the act estab- sent administration is doing its work. I Tbe Army BUI. fBpeclal to Bait. Sun.l There is a prospect that the army appropriation bill may fail unless one House or other shall recede from its position in reference to the army reorganization. The. Senate- com- mittee has struck off at one blow the o . - -- - entire feature of army reorganization adopted by the House, and will re port in favor of an entirely different plan. Its action will be sanctioned either wholly or partly by the Sen ate, and it may. be that a conference 1 committee will net be able to recon cile the differences between the two Houses. Heroic. The feat of "Jim Bladso," as. de scribed by Jonn Hay, baa been re peated, on the Mississippi River. Last week the steamboat A. C.

Mr. Graham, of Lincoln, addressed the Senate at considerable length in explanation of the bill. He spoke of the financial distress or. tae people, especially that portion engaged in agricultural pursuits, rhe cry for retrenchment was general through- oat the country Jand there was a uni versal demana tor reiier. maKinz it the duty of the Legislature to re duce the . expenses of government He reminded the Senate of the cry of the Democratic party against the ex travagant coarse of the Radical party when they created thelhigh salaries, and pointed to the duty of .the party now in powerfta remedy the Jevils thev had complained of. Whilst he and his Deonle were for low taxes thev were willing to pay liberal sal ariei, and the latter he believed would be accomplished by the pending bill. O a motion of Mr. Dortch the Sen ate proceeded to consider the bill by sections. The substitute of the committee for Mr. Graham's bill was then adopted, and the Senate prooeeded tons consideration. Sec. ; 1. Governors ; salary $3,000 per annum. Private Secretary $500 and fees. i. Mr. Erwin moved to strike oat $500 and insert $300.

The weather yesterday was in very favorable contrast to that :of the day previous. . There was very little business beiag transacted in the Magistrates Courts yesterday. Peter Evans, colored, was com mitted to the Sheriff yesterday, under two commitments from Justice Hall and two from Justice Hill, for assault and battery, &c. Mr. R. H. Ragland, of Peters burg, who was formerly well known in this city, being attached to Gen. Colston's Academv. is on a brief visit to his friends here. Mr. N.

Anthr BImat la Iiet XYelp- meal. We have time aad again referred to the majority it net all the industrial establish ments in this city. It is an old fact that we have a splendid cettea factory; it is known that our cotton compressing facili ties are equal to the demands of our for eign and domestic business; that we have a aash and blind factory more than a match in price and equal in quality of work to any Northern establishment; that our mills, ia the work they undertake, are not rivaled; that the extent ef our guano works and the value of their phosphates will con trast favorably with those ef any other city; but we have not heretofore noted the fact that Wilmington is in active and suc cessful competition with any other locality in the country in the manufacture of plows. Such, however, is the fact. Seme three years aeo tne manufacture of plows was undertaken at this point by Messrs. Hart, Bailey & Co., and has since that time been carried on steadily, though at first with drawbacks and discouragements. But they have been gradually overcome, and now the manufactory is as much a fixture here ia our midst as the other establish ments enumerated or our banking institu tions. The plow manu factored is first class in all its appointments, and every part of it is produced here, except the bolts and clevis. The oak from which the handles and ether weed work are made eemes from tne Western part ef this State, and are sawed and finished here. The cast and wrought iron parts are the product of home skill, and complete plows are now placed in the market here at prices which defy competition frem any other source at present knewa. The price before this manufactory was instituted was $3 50, and now a plow ef equal if not superior quality is supplied Xm9M dollar leu. Our met chants aad others supply themselves here and thus at least $19,000 that formerly went North are retained at heme. We are coming up to tbe standard o local independence and, greatness with prudent but certain haste, and our West era friends may note this down in their scrap-beok of useful information. ftooberlee &e. In view ef the large number of robberies, burglaries aad even incendiarisms which have transpired in this community lately the employment of some practical and effi cient remedy for the, evil becomes a matter of actual necessity. There is no getting around the fact that the employment of an experienced detective to ferret out the per petrators of these violations of law is the surest plan of becoming rid ef the trouble. It has been tried heretofore with very grat ifying success, thousands of dollars in mo ney and property having been saved to the people of the city and county through the breaking up of bands of thieves that were preying open the eommuaity and bringing the villains to justice. We : hope the city authorities will take some aetioa in the mat ter, especially as we are informed that the assistance of a very skilful detective can be secured at a veryismall cost to tbe city. Tbe Frtblan ceiebratlen Ccatraay The Knights of Pythias in this city, un der the auspices of Germania .Lodge No. 4, celebrated yesterday the institution of this now flourishing order in the United States, or, we may say, the world, for it had its inception in this country.- The Knights, in accordance ' with . the published 'pro gramme, met on Fifth, between Cbesnnt and Mulberry streets, at 2 p. m.j where the procession ' was formed, consisting of mounted Knights in handsome uniform, with swords, headed by the Exoelsior Rose Bud Band.the rear being brought up by the G. C, G. P., D. D. G. C's and ununi- brmed Knights ia carriages, the whole un der command of P. G. Chancellor W. H. Gerken, as Chief Marshal, and his Assist ants, Past Chancellors F. A. Schutte and John Meyer and Vice Chancellor Aug. Wehrhahn. The procession, which made a very im posing display, attracting a great deal of attention along its line of march, then pro ceeded down Fifth street to Ann, down Ann to Frontup Front to Red Cross, up Red Cross to Fourth, up Fourth to Bladen, up Bladen to Sixth, down Sixth to Red Cross, up Red Cross to Seventh, down Seventh to Market, down Market to Third and up Third to the City , Hall, where they passed in review of His Honor, Mayor Fishblate, who, with uncovered head, stood on the porch facing the procession and was greeted by tbe Knights, each in bis turn as they passed. Tbe procession, which then proceeded to the starting point and disbanded, was al together a very imposing affair, and was witnessed: by a large number of our citi zens who had posted themselves at con venient spots for observation along the ine of march. Howard Belief Fire Bneloe Com- pany Wo. 1, This is the anniversary day of the How ard Relief Company, and we learn that it is their purpose this year to dispense with their usual street parade and the practice of testing the capabilities of their engine, the A. Adrian, this latter arrangement being made, perhaps, in consideration f the fact that the gentleman in whose honor it was named may. be placed ia position to test bis metals Tbe occasion, however, is not to be for gotten. The active and honorary member ship, with their invited guests, will as semble in citizens' dress in their hall at the engine house this morning, at 10 o'clock, where tbe ceremonies incident to tbe day will be inaugurated. When Burfeited with the "feast of reason and flow ef soul," sandwiched with things more substantia, an adjournment will be bad until evening, wuen me iesuviues win oe renewed by a grand ball and supper at Germania Hall, All who have hitherto attended the annual reunions of the "Howard" will realize that as music is sweetest at its close, so the finale of these anniversary arrangement will be their most delightful feature. On Hie Track. The SeOwnal Viator, of Mount Airy, Surry county, N. C, has the following: "The negro who committed a rape upon tne person oi miss Mcuume, a highly re spected white lady, passed through this county last week, making hisfway to Vir ginia. We published an account of the horrible crime last week, copied from the Wilmington Stab, and the description given of the negro fitted the strange darkey precisely, and ; the citizens in the upper part of the county beeame so sure that he was the "chap," that they started after him in not pursuit. The negro gave bis name three different ways in the same neighbor hood. The boys were on bis track at last accounts, tie gave his name one lime as "Bryant Bethune." Peanut Facts. A gentleman of this city, who is himself engaged extensively in the busioess,informs us that Cincinnati ia not the centre of the peanut trade in the United States. He states tbat the Tennessee crop, averaging from 250,000 to 400,000 bushels, finds a market at Cincinnati, while the Virginia crop, ranging from 400,000 to. 800, 000 bushels nearlydouble that fJTennessee centres at Norfolk. Onr own State pro duces a crop varying from 100,000 to 200,- 000 bushels, and the bulk of it la emptied into this city.1 mayor Court. Mike .reden, a diminutive but very wicked specimen of eolored humanity, was arraigned for disorderly conduct at the Opera House on Monday night last. : Or dered to be confined for three days in the city prison.' Seipio Hill, charged with drunkenness, was sentenced to five days in tbe. city prison. ' i a A Good Idea. Miss Bradley's Cantata, at the Tilesten Academy, gave such general satisfaction last Friday evening that we have beard the desire expressed for its 'repetition, the funds arising from the sale ef tickets to be given to the Ladies' Benevolent Society for the benefit of the sick, destitute and suf fering poor in our midst.

WHOLE NO. 3,598 Entertainment by DIUim Bnrr and Jaaw school. : J " -The calisthenic and social entertainment by the school of Misses Burr and James', at Meginney Hall, last evening,was a triumph for both the scholars and the teachers. Two o'clock at night, however, is too late to particularize. The calisthenic exercises were given with charming precision ; and filled our conception of the true poetry of motion; while the singing and instrumental pieces showed skill, real musical knwoledge, and careful , culture of the voice. We profess to be a judge of vocalization, and can conscientiously testify that ' quite a number of the participants possess voices of remarkable capacity and t full of rich, round melody The closing recitation, in concert, of Tennyson's ".Charge of tbe Light Brigade," deserved a round dozen of encores. -! How Abont Ttala. We have often heard it asserted that many of the cases presented to our Crimi nal Court are frequently the offspring of malice on the part of the prosecutor, and as frequently, perhaps, "drummed up." We are not familiar enough with particu lar cases to determine whether the asser tion is correct or not. One thing is certain that Magistrates must, from the very na ture of their duties, be liable to imposition,' but there is protection both for them and: the people. A friend suggests the passage of a law by onr Legislature making it a misdemeanor for any one who is not a regularly authorized officer, or properly and legally deputized, from serving papers and processes, and also a law requiring Magis trates, except in State cases, to require pay ment from the party petitioning for war rants at the time they are issued, or stipu lating that Magistrates receive no fees for cases in which Grand Juries find no true bills. Such measures would relieve our heavy burdened tax-payers, protect Magis trates and the people against frequent an noyance and give legitimacy to all legal transactions. Comlns Back. It appears to be settled that the Revenue Cutter Crawford, now on this station, will be transferred to Key West, Florida, and that the cutter Co'faz, now at Wilmington, DeL, will be ordered here in her stead. These changes will separate Capt. Glover and his officers frem tbe circle of friends they have made here and elsewhere on this station, but we most take comfort in the fact that the change will restore to us Capt. Barr and bis officers,, to whom our people had become attached by their long service at this point. Sadden Death. Kehecca Bauls, an old eolored woman, residing on Campbell, between' Fifth and Sixth streets, died suddenly yesterday af ternoon. She was apparently in ordinary good health Tuesday evening, partook heartily: of supper, and slept well, and made no complaint of 'anything unusual until the attack which resulted fatally. Special Coroner A. H. Leslie secured a jury last evening, and will bold an inquest over the body this morning. Col. "aundere Accept. We learn that Colonel William L. Saun ders, formerly of this city, but now a resi dent of Raleigh, has accepted the appoint ment as Secretary of State, made vacant by the death ef Major Joseph A. Engelhard. , That be will discbarge tbe duties of the trust faithfully and with ability, there is no room, for question, and the offer and bis acceptance of the post will be alike grati fying to a host of his friends here. - Col. SIoRae'i Lecture. In response to a request from a number of CoL; Duncan K. McRae's friends, who . have engagements for Friday evening next, the lecture on "Ireland," announced for that time, has been postponed until Tues day evening next,, the 25th. It is well that it should occur at the postponed period, as there will probably then be no barrier to the attendance of all who desire to be pre sent. enaa Criminal conrt. The j following cases were disposed of yesterday: State vs. Mary Stewart, charged with assault and battery. Defendant found guilty. State vs. Richard Brown aud John Davis, charged with an affray. Defendants found guilty. ! In another case against same de fendants, John Davis submits. Dr. Freeman's Condition. At 1 o'clock this morning the condition of Dr. W. E. Freeman was too critical to warrant any confident statement as to how bis illness will result. It may be well to say, howeter, that there is only a possi bility of such a change as may spare his life. ,J . . Tne Late MJ. Bncelnard. We stated, a day or two since, that the life of Maj. J. A. Engelhard had been in sured for $20,000. We did, not. miss tbe amount widely, as a gentleman directly from Raleigh informs us that the insurance was $19,500. BIYBR AND HIAKIN BXITERId.
