The new Michigan -Senator, F. C. Beaman, was onoe a member of the House. He is a native Vermonter He only fills the unexpired term of Chandler, recently deceased, which esds Maroh 4, 1881. If the portraits of the late Gen. Jo Hooker are not very flattering he was a singularly handsome man, and looked as if be were f ally entitled to the soubriquet he won in the war "Fighting Jo Hooker." What is the matter with Georgia a ilr Stonnon. that r r j- 'in his opinion the South might go a great deal farther and fare a great deal worse," than to take Grant. We wonder if the Georgian would not support Seymour and Hendricks ? The New York Sun is trying just now to nrove that the Democratic ' V party in the United States "is finish ed." This is not the first time the 1 HE VI( )KN N(t rT A R VOL. XXV.-NO. 49. Sun has tried to "finish" that grand old party, but the trouble is it won't stay "finished." It is the liveliest sort of corpse imaginable. But the bun is against Grant any way. The New York Sun has a double- leaded special from Washington, dated Nov. 14, in which is mapped out the programme of the managers of the third term. Whilst not at taching any great importance to it, the plan suggested is not improbable. We copy some of the more salient points: 'At the same time it is asserted that Grant will not be a sectional candidate. He exnecta suooort from the South, and if elected President he will not be a sectional President. He is to play the role of the great conciliator. This, his presidential managers think, will be most appropriate. They argue that, after the election of 1880, the people oi me norm win be heartily tired of the sectional issue, and that the South will be perfectly willing to abandon its preference for Democratic doctrines and Stttes rights theories and go in with a will for a great nation, a strong government and plenty of spoils. They say that Grant, having been out of the country, is not responsible for the present sectional attitude of the Republican party. His tour through the South next spring is to pave the way for this part of the pro gramme. I happen to know that this scheme will be much more acceptable to a greater number of Southern Democrats than is generally supposed to oe possible. A conspicuous Democratic congressman from a Southern State, who was a distin guished General in the rebel army, told me not long ago that he was thrown into close connection with Grant at the close of the electoral count in the spring of 1877, and in this interview his preconceived opinion oi Grant was entirely changed. He was satis fied, be said, that the Southern leaders had made a great mistake in keeping aloof from Grant during his eight years' reign at the White llouse. ir they had made me eoort they could have had his confidence and his friendship." The Sun is violently opposed to Grant on any terms, we are glad to note. We saw it announced that Dr. Felt on, a Representative in the House from Georgia, had kicked out of the traces and gone over to the Radicals. This is a mistake. Dr. Helton has nublished an ODen letter, in which he declares that he "is a Democrat and sincerely believes that the principles ot the Democracy are essential to the prosperity of our form of civil govern ment." He makes very sharp com ments upon the "follies" of the extra session, and denounces canons dicta tion. He also notices the unjust charges against the South, and de clares that "the Independent move ment promises to sweep this State (Georgia) next year." He says: "I believe our next Governor and a ma jority of our next Congressmen and of onr Stale Legislature will be elected as Inde pendents. The honest and intelligent citi zens of this State are determined to throttle and overthrow that organized Bourbon ism which has well nigh destroyed the very bulwarks of genuine Democracy ; that never learns and never forgets; that stands as a barrier to our material progress. Narrow, selfish and illiberal-its only bond of union a struggle for spoils; its only hope of suc cess, the tricks of the caucus and the lash of the party. The people of Georgia would not be satisfied with Mr. Tilden'a nomina tion." He thinks that J udge David Davis is the man to be nominated, and that he could be elected. Spirits Turpentine. Mr. J. M. Smith, tobacconist, of Durham, is dead. Cotton receipts at Raleigh last week 2,574 bales. Washington shipped 2,850 bales cotton last week.

Reidsville limes: The town of Mt. Airy is built upon granite, and a mile and a half from the town is a plain of one hundred and fifty acres in solid granite. It is of better material than the granite used in Raleigh, because not being subject to mildew, it never fades its color, but always retains the richness of shade with which it comes out of the earth. Tom Fuqua lives one mile from Wentworth, and there is living on his lot a little negro boy as black as tar and his head is as white as cotton. His hair is kinky, bat perfectly white. Mooresville Gazette: A little daughter of Mr. Elam Bobbins, near David son College, was burned to death last week. She had been picking cotton, and had about her some sack or apron, in which she pot her cotton as she picked it, and which, it seems, she had not removed on coming into the house. This coming in contact with the fire about which she was standing, she was soon enveloped in flames. and as she was alone in the house she was bo fearfully burned before help reached her that she died in a few hours. She was about twelve years of age. Capt. H. P. Jones, conduotor, was fired at just as his train was leaving Charlotte.

He paid little attention to the mat ter, but returning to the car remarked laughingly to a friend, a passenger, that be bad been shot at. Yesterday morning, on the return trio, taking oat his thick note book, Capt Jones found embedded in it a pistol ball which, entering one side of the book had passed hfarly through it. The book was in the breast pocket of the con ductor's coat, and itas most fortunate for him, covering as it did a vital part, that it caught the ball. Charlotte is moving in the right direction. A cotton factory 161 by 45 feet is to be erected. The Observer says: A committee of four, consisting of W. W. Pegram, Thos. H. Gaither, Thos. H. Hanghton and R. N.

We have information to the effect that Antone Swain, the youth who is charged with having broken open Mr. Thos. Mash- burn's trunk, near this city, on Friday last, and stealing sixty dollars in money, went off on the train Saturday morning. A young man who was on the cars at the time, but who had not heard of the robbery, says Swain was dressed oat in a new suit of clothes, shoes, etc., and sportea kid gloves and a walking cane. He told the young man that he was on his way to New York, and wanted to know how to conduct him self at a first class hotel. A warrant for his arrest, and also a search warrant, were issued Saturday by Justice Hall, and placed in the hands of trusty officers, but of course nothing could be discovered of the boy or the missing money. The Orpban Asyl It has been suggested that a collection be taken up in the churches of this city, on Thanksgiving Day, in addition to the usual one for the poor, for the benefit of the Ox ford Orphan Asylum. The beneficiaries of this noble and useful institution, some one hundred and thirty-five or more in number, are in much need of help, so much so that the Superintendent has found it necessary to send oat, at an early day, a chapter o orphans to give entertainments for the benefit of the Asylum, Cold weather is coming on and the necessities of the ot' phans will be increased.

OPERA HOUSE. Tne Fray ne-Tlflan y Combination. The performance at the Opera House last evening progressed smoothly and sue-, cessfully .judging by the enthusiasm of the audience, until the fourth act, when just as the curtain arose the lights were noticed to grow dim, then to brighten, and then to go out entirely, leaving the building in utter darkness. At first the audience could not tell whether this was a part of the play, or a real sensation not on the programme. Efforts to relight the gas soon convinced all that this time there was no acting, but for tunately nearly every one remained in their seats, and thus a panic, which could so easily have been precipitated in the crowd ed theatre, was prevented. The manage ment, after repeated efforts to get the gas relit.came before the curtain and announced its impracticability, but offered to go on with the performance by the light of two kerosene lamps and several candles that had been obtained. The decision of those present was to go on, and the piece was played through without farther mishap, bat of course with numerous incidents un avoidable under the conditions. The rea son of the occurrence was the failure of the gas . metre, a wet one, to .work, and on examination it was finally decided by an expert that it would be impossible to fix it last night, though of course numerous attempts were made. Much credit is due the Company for their action in the premises, and the audience took every opportunity to testify its appreciation of their pluck, and of the clever manner in which they played their parts under such dispiriting circumstances The acting of the dog Jack was certainly remarkable and almost beyond belief. Mr. Frayne's wonderful feats with the rifle were made more extraordinary and we could but think foolhardy by the fact that they were performed almost in the dark. He shot the pipe out of a man's mouth, ap plea off beads, etc., but before the final effort of shooting an apple off Miss Tif fany's bead, with his back to her was at tempted, the audience interfered, and, to the relief of all, the apple was shot in the same position from a man's head. The company apparently gave great satis faction, the applsuse being frequent and terrific, and, all in all, we think that few who were present regretted their attend ance. Of course numerous scenes and in cideots occurred that we have cot related, bat the late hoar at which the performance closed gives us no time to recall them Were you at the theatre last night ? will be the question on the street to-day. mayor's Court. The first case called, yesterday morning, was that of N. Salva, a foreign sailor, who could manage to articulate only a few words of English. The charge against him was that of rescuing a prisoner from Officer Everett, of the police force, who escaped. Salva was ordered to pay a fine of $10 or be imprisoned for fifteen days. Maria Hall, colored, was arraigned on the charge of disorderly conduct and cursing and abusing Officer Everett, who attempted to arrest her on Saturduy night last Ordered to pay a fine of $10 or be imprisoned for twenty days. In the case of William Hollis, charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct on the streets on Sunday, judgment was suspended on the payment of costs. In the case of William Weigher, charged with acting disorderly near the foot of Cbesnut street, on Sunday, judgment was suspended. Violet Henry, colored, charged with act ing very disorderly and using profane lan guage, etc., on Sunday, was ordered to pay a fine of $5 or be confined for ten days in the city prison. A Deadly Assault A colored man by the name of Mike Hooper was the victim of a deadly assault at a house on Dickinson's Hill, on Saturday night last. The house.it seems, is occupied jointly by Hooper and a colored woman named Julia Miller, one living on the first floor and the other on the second. On Sa turd ay night there was a noisy crowd there, composed principally of qaarrymen from the neighborhood of Rocky Point, and somehow a difficulty originated between Hooper and the woman, Jnlia Miller.during which the latter seised some sharp instru ment and struck Hooper over the head with it, cutting a deep gash. Blood flowed freely from the wound all Saturday night and Sunday, but had ceased yesterday morning The physician who examined the wound pronounced it a dangerous one. At one time blood was stopped from flowing from the wound, when it commenced oozing from the ears of the injured man A warrant was issued by 3 ustice McQuigg on Sunday, and that night about 10 o'clock, Julia Miller was arrested by Officer Whit ney, and subsequently committed to jail without benefit of security, to be held for her appearance before Justice McQuigg' when called fors The wounded man was resting somewhat easier yesterday morning.

For the South Atlantic States, falling ba rometer increasing southeasterly winds. slightly warmer and generally cloudy wea ther, with numerous rains, followed Toes day afternoon or night by rapidly rising barometer, brisk to high northerly winds, and colder clearing weather . Hlore meteors. 1 Prof. Richard A. Proctor, who delivered a series of lectures on astronomical subjects at Chickering Hall, New York, last week, told his audience, on the occasion of his second lecture, to look out for a shower of- meteors on or about the 27th inBt, the remnants of the dissipated Biela Comet, which sometime since for its erratic carry ing-on was kicked out into the immensity of space, and has since been, traveling around loose, pelting the other planets with red-hot meteors, and kicking up the deuce generally, until it has "gone all-to pieces," so to speak. To save his reputation, per haps, the Professor told his bearers that the shower may not happen, after all, for the reason that the "Lost Comet" may be "out of rocks;" but he felt pretty certain that there would be a display. We advise our readers to keep a weather- eye open, for there is no telling what may happen, especially on Thanksgiving Day. minstrelsy, &c. Madam Rentz's Minstrels, known this year as the Rentz-Sanlley Novelty Com pany, appear at the Opera House next Sat urday night. "The boy sat in the gallery At the female minstrel show.
