Blaine had a big time in Iowa. He
had a sort of triumphal march. Ac

about three-fourths of all tbe
votes for President against the

October 17fb, 1876, was so warm
that we reoorded the fact. Tbe mer
cury stood at 80 degrees. We noted
thaffrttria ooat was the thing. Yes
terday, the 17th, the thermometer
registered 83. But tbat is nearly as
low at ft has been in some three
weeks. Tbe thermometer has re-
corded from 80 to 88 degrees all
through October. It is a most ex
traordinary long spell of hot weather
in tea as email fait month. We learn
that in 1862, when the yellow fever
was here, the weather was hot like it
now and into November.
THE
VOL. XXV.---NO. 23.
Our explanation to the Review is
that we did not understand that the
proceedings referred to by Mr. Scott
and then referred to by the Review
Were one and the same. If so, we
could not have said that they had ne
ver been received. The Droprietor
was absent, and the person referred
to by the Review did not feel author
ized to publish any documents, hence
tbe proceedings wero not read. No
discourtesy was intended in tbe mat
ter to either our esteemed contempo
rary or the Secretary of the Pender
meeting, Mr. Soott.
The whole correspondence be
tween Gen. Mahone and ex-tiov.
Kemper appears in the Richmond
State of the 18th. There is one level
headed man in Virginia who has
shown himself a peace maker. But
for Mr. John S. Wise, of Richmond,
there would have been a duel. He
deserves muoh credit for the admira
ble discretion, honor and humanity
he displayed throughout. In his let
ter of tbe 16th he says:
"I knew from tbe moment Gen. Kemper
received Geo. Mahone's first note that there
was no cause of strife. Every step in this
correspondence met my hearty approval. 1
pretend to and aspire to no still in conduct
ing affairs of honor. God grant I never
may. According to my bumble idea of ho
nor and courage every step taken was
rigbt. The result, as I maintain, was sen
sible. Through life it will be a delightful
reflection that being tbe only actor friendly
to both where a difficulty was so easy, i
was instrumental in averting a collision be
tween two brave men men who if they
have not now convinced their fellow-citizens
of their courage, would not do so by a
resort to that very doubtful test of tbe so
called code of honor."
fie saw that two brave men were
about to seek mortal combat upon a
mere punctilio, and by good manage
ment he prevented it.
It, is interesting to turn to New
York now that tbe smoke has cleared
from tbe battle field in Ohio, and see
bow things stand in the Empire State.
We avail ourselves of the careful
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger. Let us look first at the
Democrats. He writes:
"As for Mr. Tildcn and bis immediate
friends, they are positively delighted with
tbe torn tbe thing has taken. This is easily
understood. It removes from tbe path of
tbe Gramercy Park statesman Senator
Tuurmao, who promised to be bis most for
midable competitor in tbe .National Con
vention, and to that extent, it is a 'Tilden
gain.' If the election had gone the other
way, moreover it is thought quite possible
tbat Ewing himself might also baVe been a
competitor. "
Now let us see how the result in
Ohio affects the fortunes of Republi
can aspirants, lie says:
"As for tbe Republicans, they assume,
with great unanimity, that it brings Secre
tary Sherman to the front as the standard
bearer of the party for 1881). The feeling
seems tbat Gen. Grant will be taken up
only under tbe moral certainty tbat the
Democracy and tbe solid South were liaeiy
to win. Now tbat Ohio has gone so badly
against them, the reasoning is that the Re
publicans will have no occasion for uen.
Grant. Tbe followers of mr. Blame are
disposed to take this view also, as likewise
those of Senator Uonkling. uuriously
enough, there ia a sort of morbid anxiety
on tbe part of all this class of politicians
about tbe possible status of the General
that is unavoidably suggestive or a suspi
cion lhat they are not altogether easy in
their minds respecting it in its future rela
tionship to their own aqmuons. mean
while, one thine is certain, and that is,
Gen. Grant had nothing to do with the
Ohio election, but tbe Ohio election, in its
far-reaching consequences, may have much

THE STATE FAIR.
Thursday was the big day. The
crowd is estimated by the Raleigh
Observer at 7,500. Three teams con
tested, namely, tbe Raleigh Light In
fantry, the Elm City (New Berne)

Infantry won tbe Uhamplon Flag
Lieut. Fallen (of the same oompany)
won the rifle, and Corporal r erral
(of tbe same company) won the
plume. The command is congratula
ted upon its success this year, and we
hope may be able to keep the colors
it has won so well. Mr. Pullen won
another rifle.
The additions to tbe exhibition
made during Wednesday brought it
up to such a point of perfection as has
not been equalled here.

Proposition
for
New Telegraph
Line.
A meeting of our business men was held
at the Produce Exchange, yesterday at
noon, in response to a call from Vice Pres
ident R. E. Calder, to hear certain proposi
tions in regard to tbe establishment of a
new telegraph line here at ao early day.
The meeting was addressed by Capt. F. W
Foster, who stated that be had been taking
some interest in the matter of cheap tele
graphy, and who read a letter from the
President of the American Union Telegraph
Company, throwing out certain hints and
suggestions in reference to the proposed
line, and asking for an expression of opin
ion on the part of our merchants and other
business men, in reference to the exten
sion. A map was exhibited showing
the present extent of the line, that portion
of it to be completed by the end of Decem
ber, 1879, and that expected to be finished
during 1880. There was considerable in-
terest manifested in the matter by those
I present, and H was finally requested of
Capt. Foster, as the sense of the meeting,
tbat he should write and obtain more defi
nite Information from the President of the
American Union Telegraph Company in
reference to the proposed scheme.
The movement here shadowed forth
looks, of course, to a reduction of rates in
the matter of telegraphic messages. Capt

in working order by the first of February
ensuing.

Jobuion, tbe outlaw, dee.
Two notable characters were lodged in
our county jail yesterday on a somewhat
notable charge. These were the well-
known Fisher brothers (colored), Willit
and John, the former being eharged with
harboring and secreting the notorious Tom
Johnson alia. Alonzo Elri, and the latter
with assisting in the abduction of the wife
of Johnson and carrying her off ; and also
with putting her in fear of her life by
pointing a gun at her through an open door
at the time she was kidnapped at the -house
of a colored woman in Brooklyn sometime
last year. These men were arrested by
Officer Carr on the affidavit of Johnson's
wife. They will be remembered as the
same two men who attempted to assassi
nate Mr George Harper, aear this city,
some few years ago. Johnson's wife,
or widow, states tbat on the same night
that she was abducted, a full account of
which appeared in the Stab at the time,
she was carried to the house of William
Fisher, on Eleventh, between Orange and
Dock streets, where they kept her concealed
in a sort of cave, where potatoes were keptt
until the next night, when she Was removed
to another point. At the latter place she
and Johnson remained until the following
Sunday, which was after the Sheriff's posse
ot fifty men had scoured the woods in the
vicinity of Wilmington in a vain search for
the outlaw and his companions, when they
took their departure, and finally succeeded
in making their way toCberaw, S. C. .where
Johnson had a sister living. Here he soon
afterwards got into a difficulty with his
sister and attempted to kill her with an axe
