It is now doubtful if Kentucky has a constitution; the one adopted by the convention cud not be found. Two men have just been hanged in Pennsylvania and one in Texas. A. tenement house in New York was burnt, and an entire family were suffocated by smoke. The hostile chiefs, with the exception of Jack, are reported as will ing to surrender. - Hanlan and Court ney have agreed to row on the Potomac, near Washington, on December 9th.

Speculation continued strong and buoyant at the New York Stock Exchange yesterday afternoon. Two thousand reelers employed at the cotton mills ia Belfast, Ireland, have struck for an advance in wages. The Chilian Ad miral has made an official report of the capture of the Peruvian iron-clad Hutucar; he thinks the vessel will be of no further Uie. A Zulu chief intimates his wil lingness to surrender to the British. A report is telegraphed that Sir Austin Lay aril has been instructed to bold no fur ther communication with the Turkish Porte regarding Asia Minor but to send for the British fleet. The Cabinet at its meeting yesterday discussed the forth comiug President's message. The British court of inquiry into the circum Blauxes attending the collision between the Champion and the Lady Octavia, was con- tiuued yesterday at Philadelphia. A young faimer, living near Griffin, Ga., shot and killed himself yesterday. There is trouble in the London Slock Exchange aud a panic in Paris owing to the rumor of the British fleet bsing ordered to the Black Sea, which, if true, will probably precipi tate matters with Russia. Prince Bis marck is suffering from heart disease. The British Government has information that American Fenians are offering money and arms to the Irish tenant farmers. Jordan Sheals was hung at Danielville, Ga., for murder, yesterday. A severe storm, doing great damage, is reported from Ohio.

The Democrats may gain a U. S. senator in CalUorma in place oi Booth, and lose one in Virginia in place of Withers. With bnt few exceptions the ne groes in Virginia voted with the Mahoneites. It was such a good chance "to split the party." Good. That staunch Republican organ, the Baltimore American, says that Senator Bayard is a pure, up- riuht and able statesman." Put a pin there. Canonchet Conkling is in sufficient health to make an argument before the Supreme Court. The papers are as unsuccessful in killing him as they were in killing Tilden. And now the Stalwarts in New York are erying "stop thief." They are accusing the Democrats of "doc toring the returns." This old game will not do, for as in 1876 the Radi cals win. Milson Hntchins, who runs the Washington Post, has become boss of the Manchester Daily (7hton,some where up among the New England icebergs. Like Forney in days past, he can now refer to "my two papers, both daily." We neglected to -announce that Victoria Wood hull has telegraphed from London that she "accepts the nomination."

XXV.-NO. 47. xxere i8 toe latest we nave seen con-I corning the two New York factions I that have succeeded by their quarrels in making a Democratic State a little 1 bit doubtful already. It will be seen inai omers see tne necessitv or a 1 - -.-at . - ' ' a union between Tilden and Kelly in order to have any chance of success. A special dispatch to the Washington Post of the 12th says: "The Tilden leaders are fearful that the same influences which brought strength to Mr. neuy tnta year will De arrayed on bis siae next year, as me SDlit now stands. Mr. Tilden and his followers have posses sion oi the party machinery in this State, having excluded the Tammany Democrats from the State committee. Unless a recon ciliation is effected, this will prevent Tarn' many irom having any representation on the delegation sent from this State to the Democratic .National Convention. The Kelly organization, however, declare that they will send a delegation of their own, and, if excluded and Tilden or some tool of his is nominated for President, Kelly will refuse to support him. Even if he does not openly refuse, it will be a lukewarm support that will make it next to impossible for the Democrats to oarry this State. If Kelly should defeat Tilden's wishes in the National Convention, then it is expected that Mr. Tilden wonld pursue his usual stealthy course and fully defeat the Demoeracy in this State. These considerations seem to make it imperative that a reconciliation should be effected, and Horatio Seymour, Senator Kernan and some other party leaders have spoken in favor of it. A correspondence has been opened, and the attempt will be made to ring about peace and harmony . it is pro bable that a meeting will be called for this purpose at ah early day, although the Til den leaders, auch as William A. Fowler and Thomas Kinsella, of Brooklyn, claim that nothing can come from it. Col. J MoLeod Turner, through I the Raleigh Observer, issues a oall for the "reunion" ot the brigade com manded first by Gen. Branch and af terwards by Gen. Lane. As Chair- man of au informal meeting, he sag gest8 December 17th as the time, and Raleigh the place. He says: "This call has nothing whatever to do with the politics of the past, present or fu ture. We meet as American patriots and sold iers. Let politicians settle among them selves the abstract question whether we were rebels or not. Your conduct upon the field secured to you the rights of bellige rents. The respect gained there has only been increased in every generous soul by your law-abiding course in honorably ob serving your parole and the conditions of Your capitulation. Sectional auimositles must mve place to lustice. magnanim ity and patriotism. Your duty to your State, whose call you so cheer fully obeyed, demands that some steps be taken to enable the future historian to say with more precision what positions you occupied. This may be done without in vidious distinctions against any sister State where all did so well. "Such will be the items of business to be discussed and disposed of. At the same lime it is hoped that it will be an occasion or great social pleasure to all in attendance. Let us hear from you promptly in the way indicated above. There is said to be great perturba tion in Washington among the Presi dential aspirants. The meeting of the Republican National Committee makes a flurry in advance. The well po8ted correspondent of the Baltimore Mn write8 0n the 11th inst.: "There is no doubt whatever as to the complexion of the Committee. It is tho- ioughly committed to urant, and, while the wires are being silently worked in the interest of Conkling, tne lavonte lor the se cond place seems at present to be Blaine. This, of course, will largely influence the choice, bolb of the Uhairman and the place of holding the next national convention. It is apparently for the interest of Secretary Sherman thai the convention anouid oe held in Chicago. At any rate all the Reoublican managers agree that such is the case, and that Grant's and Blaine's interests would be advanced by holding the Convention at the IHtaois me tropolis. Grant's and Blaine's interests seem to be looked upon as identical, and it is generally assumed that should Grant de cline the nomination, and Conkling give his gracious consent, his strength would ne transferred to the Boanerges from Maine. As matters now stand the Grant men will control the meeting of the National Com mittee, which will be held at the Arlington Hotel on the 17th of next month. Of all men in Washington Senator Conkling is the most powerful and influential or. tne urant men, and will be able to name tne cnair- man. A special from Washington to that model Stalwart organ, the Phil ad el nhia Press, savs of the opinion of Southern leaders now in that city: "They generally agreed that both Tilden and Tnurman are not within the range of even possible candidates, it is evident that the nerson wno can unite ana control tne united Southern Democratic vote in the National Convention is Bayard, they re flrardins him as oar excellence a Southern man, who not only sympathized with them in the Kebellioo ana gave mem encourage ment in sneeches to be firm in their pur poses, but has been the champion oi every Southern interest in the Senate.

They do not conceal the fact that there are many obstructions in the way of success, and would even be willing to abandon their chosen standard-bearers and sacrifice everv crinciole to regain power.

WILMINGTON, N. joi. Torn ocott is now among the prophets. He nays Tilden alone can oarry New York for the Democrats. He forgets that Sey mour earned New York in 1868 against Grant, the hero of the war, and only three yeare paM&e war had ended. There &nsnmLfi doubt that Gov.

Lnmberton JRobesonian: One firm at Nichols, 8. C, made upwards of $1,000 by the recent rise in naval stores. while Messrs. Williams & Murchison made a fortune. Report says they had 67,000 barrels of naval stores on hand at the time. Raleigh News: Mr. George Harwood will begin walking around the Yarboro House square at 6 A. M. this morning. He says he will make fifty miles in eight hours. The square has been uiGoauicu. iuu iu uia&c uitr wiics uc iu have to go around two hundred and ten times. . Winston Leader'. A great need of a competing railroad to our town is every day more clearly demonstrated. For instance: a car load or salt is shipped irom Richmond to Atlanta. Ga.. for $28; to Greenville, 8. C, $35; to Winston, a nearer point, $51. This shows the extortionate charges on goods. Wilkesboro Index: Capt. A. C. Bryan, of the revenue service, swooped down on 400 gallons of irregular whiskey in the barn of Mr. Newborn Parker, last Friday, and it has gone down to Collector Mott. On the next day he seized a quan tity of unstamped brandy found in Mr. J. B. Miller's smoke house. Raleigh Observer: The crop of scorns is reported as unusually large. The county jail has at present twenty-two inmates. John A. Stevens will appear here on the 20th in the play "Unknown." A pair of United States prisoners were lodged in jail Tuesday night, charged with violations of the revenue law. Raleigh Visitor: His Excellen cy, Governor Jarvis.left for the Fayetteville Fair last; night. A man in Orange county, a few days ago, killed thirty squir rels up one tree. Ma j. Wright Huske, of Cumberland county, gathered this sea son, from eight acres of land, 470 bushels of corn nearly 60 bushels to an acre. New Berne Democrat: There were several boats at the market wharf, on yesterday, with more or less rice on board oi eacn. The rice was easily aisposea oi at from 90 cents to $1 per bushel. A gentle man in this city, a day or two since, for warded samples of such rice, as usually comes to this market, to Charleston, and inquired its price in that market. The re ply came back that such rice was worth from $1 06 to $1 10 per busfaeL -The following is going the rounds of the newspapers: A boy called to see Gen. Vance at Washington. He modestly com municated his wishes to the Doorkeeper. "Have you a card, sir?" be gruffly growled. "Cards." said the boy. thoughtfully, me chanically running his hand in the the rear pockets of bis coat, "no, sir; l don't carry 'am " "Vffha.o n inn frnm " Tnnntra4 the Doorkeeper. "North Carolina," was the prompt answer. "Wen, how do you do in North Carolina when people go a visiting ?" "Why they ride op to a Teller's fence and holler to him to tie up his dog, and then git down and go in," was the laconic reply. Goldsboro Mail: Much sick ness reported in the neighborhood of Nash ville. i The festival by the ladies of the Baptist Church was well attended. Net receipts over $40. The residence. kitchen and smoke house of Mr. G. W. Higbsmith, of Sampson, was destroyed by fire on the 35th ult. About 1,400 pounds seed cotton in one of the houses burned. Most of the furniture saved, but greatly damaged. Estimated loss $1,000. No in surance. We deeply sympathize with Rev. C. J. Nelson in the severe affliction of the loss of his wife, who died on Wed nesday night of paralysis. Three negroes lodged in jail Saturday for resisting a police officer. Tatboro Southerner: On the 26th of December a fine programme is offered for the enjoyment or visitors. There will be glass bill shooting, hurdle races.trotting races for gentlemen's buggy horses, mile dash for gentlemen riders, trotting sweep stakes, open to the world; gentlemen's sweepstakes, welter weight, three-fourth mile heat, and quarter mile races. On Saturday night last the gin house and a large lot of cotton, the property of John H. Harris, living about nve mues irom Rocky Mount, in Nash county, were burned. No insurance, and the cause is unknown. Cotton is nearly all picked and the crop in Edgecombe is at least 20 per cent, snort. A pink wart adorned her fairy nose.

Charlotte Observer: In . the Superior Court of Robeson county, in see sion this week at Lnmberton, Judge Sey mour presiding, the case or Miss ljinahaw, for the murder of Ed Hartman, will come up for trial. The Wilkesboro Index advertises for a printer who is temperate in eating as well as drinking and to whom money is no consideration. 1 It is like ly that a telegraph line will be constructed from Hendersonville to Spartanburg, along the line of the Spartanburg & Asheville Railroad, soon. -A party of three or four citizens went down to Colombia yes terday for the purpose of trying to make arrangements with the owners of race horses there to bring them to Charlotte to enter races which it Is proposed to have on the Fair Grounds track about the last of the present month.

A negro fell fifteen feet from a wagon load of cotton (twelve bales) Wed nesday afternoon, and struck square on bis head, on the Trade street hill. Hurt him ? Of course not; he scrambled up, smiled, and went on about his business as if nothing had happened. It is reported that Gen.

Professor Tice has fooled us twice, but he'll never do so any more that is sure. We took but little stock in the humbug before; we take none now. A white man, who was drnnk and acting disorderly at the corner of Mar ket and Second streets, yesterday after noon, was arrested by Officer Nelson and lodged in the guard house. We have been requested to state that Rev. J. B. Bailey will preach at Oak Hill, Myrtle Grove Bound, oa Wednesday night, the 19th inst., and at Bethany on Thursday morning, the 20th inst The late W. H. Jenkens, who died here a few days since, was one of the survivors of Company E, Third N. 0. Regiment, was a brave soldier, and .was twice wounded, once severely at Snarps burg. A large proportion of our white population sat up until after 2 o'clock, yes terday morning, to witness the meteoric shower, and then got disappointed. There were a good many sleepy looking people on the streets yesterday. The anseasonableneds of the weather makes it bad for the fishermen and oystermen, as well as the wood and coal dealers. We learn that quite a lot of the fish and some of the oysters-in market, last Thursday evening, were tainted. A good many Stabs fell here yesterday morning, the number being esti mated in the neighborhood of one thousand. The most of them found lodgment in the piazzas of our citizens, 'and when picked up were as bright and sparkling as the brightest ia the brilliant galaxy, that adornB the heavens. . t i ; p We again make the suggestion, J and hope it may at least provoke discussion, at the next meeting of the Board of Alder men, that a fire-alarm bell be placed upon the City Hall. The ringing of the bell at the market house is heard bnt a very short distance, the sound, when the winds are the least contrary, never reaching the hills.

The several committees made their re ports to the Conference. The following licentiates were elected to Deacon's orders, viz.: W. D. Cook, G. W. Offley, Elijah Hawkins mid J; J. Jenkins. Rev. R. H. W. Leak was elected to Elder's birders. The examination of characters was taken np by calling the roll of the Conference.' All stood fair with a few exceptions. An address was delivered by Rev. J. C . Embry, the Financial Secretary, which oc cupied the attention of the Conference from 2 until 4 o'clock. After the afternoon services the Confer ence met again at 7i o'clock to hear an ad dress from Bishop J. P. Campbell, D. D. LL. D., on the subject of his recent travels through Europe and its relations to the A. M. E. connection. Locked Up Again. Wfllis Drake, the "Paddy's Hollow" shoemaker, who was only a few days since released from a long confinement in lb city prison, was before one of the Magis trates yesterdays on the charge of making an assault upon his wife with an axe, and, at the conclusion of the investigation, was ordered to give bond and security in the sum of $100 for bis appearance at Court, in default of Which be was lodged in jail. Subsequently he was taken ont to testify in a case against his wife, whom he had caused to be arrested and tried before Jus tice Hill on the charge of assault, and on his way back contested every inch of the route with Officer Richardson, who bad him in charge, causing considerable excite ment on the street by his violent behavior . Drake is never comfortable when out of a scrape. Caerai Postal larormatlou. A postal regulation has been in force now for two months, which is not well known among business men, or it would be more generally availed of. We refer to the fact that statements, bills, etc., can now be mailed in an unsealed envelope with a cent stamp. Thus the many monthly statements which are made out by wholesale and retail dealers each month can be mailed for one cent, but no writing other than the legiti mate bill can be placed upon the statement. No such words as "please remit" can be, neither can a bill receipted be sent. If it is necessary to have the words' "please re mil" on the statements or bills, they can be printed as part of the heading. A it una way. An exciting runaway occurred on Fourth street yesterday morning. A horse, with dray attached, came dashing down that street, and, in turning the corner of Fourth and Princess, ran against some obstruction, which gave a tilt to the dray, when the vehicle capsized and the horse was thrown violently upon his side, the impetus they had received causing horse and vehicle to slide for some distance on the pavement. It was thought at first that the animal's neck was broken, bnt upon investigation it was found that he was bat little injured. The driver, one Andrew Merrick, colored, was thrown off soon after the horse started but received no injury . magistrate's conn. Richard Cbavers had a hearing before Justice Hall, yesterday morning, charged with committing assault with a deadly weapon upon John Mitchell, colored, on Wednesday last. Defendant was fined one penny and the costs. The same defendant was next arraigned on a peace warrant, sworn out by his' wife, and was ordered to give bond in the sum of $100 to keep the peace and make bis ap pearance at Court. - Mr. E.

The Spanish basque Augusta,. Goitia, sailed from Havana for this port on the 6th instant. f -'The steamer A. P. Hurt, from Fay etteville, delayed by low water, reached her wharf in this city at 4 o'clock P. M. y ester day, and left at 7 o'clock on her return trip. On the 12th inst., in latitude 32.25 north, and longitude 78.20 east, the barque leUgraph, of London, was spoken by the Norwegian brig Vultu, Capt P. EUertsen, which arrived at this port yesterday. The British ship Oneoia, which arrived at New York on the 12th inst from Liver pool, via Tybee, reports that on the 9th instant, thirty miles east of Cape Fear, she passed a three masted schooner sunk, with mast standing ten feet but of water; same day saw a steamer with a three masted schooner in tow, apparently making for I Wilmington, N.

The Opera House last night contained by far the largest and most fashionable au dience of the season, the loceasion beinr the first appearance ia this city of Mr. and Mrs. W. J, Florence, in- their ereat suc- ss, entitled "The Mighty Dollar." The piece was well presented in everyway, noticeable feature being the support which was good throughout, though of course the interest of the play, and m fact everything, hinges on the two leading char acters, the Hon. Bardwell Stole and Mrs. General Giiflory. Mr. Florence long since achieved a great success as the Hon. Bard well Slote. He carried the audience with him last night apparently without effort, and kept them continuously laughing when ever he was on the stage. Mrs. Florence's toilets were exceedingly handsome, and she deserves no small share of the success of the performance for her admirable portrayal of the shoddy ish Mrs. Giiflory with a weakness for French and for aping Old World manners. It is sel dom that we have an opportunity of seeing such actors in Wilmington, and the only way to get them to visit ns oftener is to ap preciate them when they do appear. To-night the company will play "Ticket of -Leave Man," an exceedingly popular piece, which is, we believe, also new to Wilmington. Mr. Florence has played the leading part, Bob Briely, over a thousand times and won high praise in the character, and they merit a large attendance. Attempt to Escape. David Hawkins, a colored boy, appa rently about 14 or 15 years of age, was be fore Justice McQuigg yesterday on the charge of assault and battery. The case was dismissed on condition that the defen dant should pay the costs, in default of which he was committed to jail. On his way to prison, in charge of Special Deputy J. W. Whitney, and just as he had arrived at the corner of Third and Princess streets, he broke from the officer and started to run, when Whitney drew a pistol, and, pointing it at him as he ran, told him to halt or be wonld shoot, whereupon the boy squatted behind a vehicle in front of Messrs Gerhardt & Co.'s establishment and was recaptured without any further trouble Thermometer Record.
