The prices of ootton goods in New York are steadily advancing, and the market is excited. ly years ago Mr. Seymour said he would never be found in a mad scramble for office. It is now paraded as a reoent utterance to show that he will. Sot accept the nomination. All the Democrats have to do is to elect him. He will agree to be inaugu rated we have no doubt. The purloining of the President's and Sherman's report gives the Administration more trouble than the stealing of the Presidential office in 1876. The latest we find in the Richmond Dispatch: cKXb..Baulner, the maker-up of the JsSPvnQnKuTaent of the Government prinungomce, nas oeen uiBcnargea on ac count of the message business.

Alahone yesterday, and on all national questions the latter is a Democrat, and will act with the Demo cratic party in Congress." The Seymour boom shows no abate. mont. All that is necessary for his 1 nomination is for him to throw no obstacle ia the way. The fallowing item in the Washington letter to the Richmond Dispatch will be read with pleasure by many of oar readers: "The Seymour men are elated at the an nouncement that their Presidential favorite will speak at the International Dairy Fair on Monday, and that there is a prospect of bis having Urant ana Hayes among his hearers. , They Bay Senator Kernan was right when be remarked the other day that Governor Seymour is enjoying excellent health. I beard -several of them refer to the fact that bo is not quite three-score and ten, and. hence is much the junior of the commander of the Prussian army and the Prime Minister of Great Britain." Col. Lot W. Humphrey, of Golds- boro, has been interviewed by the Washington Post relative to the darkey emigration. He said emphat ically that there was no disposition to grind the negro down, that bis legal rights are uniformly respected, and that there is no truth whatever in the charge that some of the negroes were starving. Ha gave a correct and fair account of their condition. We quote apart of what he said: "I thick there has been a gradual im provement in the race in North Carolina ever since they were emancipated, and their condition now is better than ever. Wages have, it is true, been lower, but supplies and provisions have been correspondingly less. This was due to general depression, affecting black and white alike. The pros pect, at the present time for labor, both black and white, is better than for a long lime. Col. Humphrey then cited Golds boro as a rising town, where, for instance, of a Urge number of draymen, many own ing their own teams and all with plenty of woik, only one is a white. lie said they have schools and churches, and the more provident own real estate, also farms vary ing from a few hundreds to a few thousands of dollars in value He knew of a few farms estimated to be worth $5,000 that are owned by eolored men." spirits Turpentine.

C, concludedits labors and adjourned yesterday afternoon. Bishop Wightmao, who presided, passed through the city last night, on bis way South to the Georgia State Conference. The following are the appointments made for this District: Wilmington District L B. Bobkhead, Presiding Elder. Front Street Rev. E. A. Yates. Fifth Street Rev. T. P. Ricaud. Topsail Rev. W. J. Hull.

Deain of Dr. J. Fravnela Kins. The sad intelligence reached this city yesterday morning of the death of Dr. John Francis King, of this city, which occurred at No. 1, North Washington Square, New York, on Sunday evening last, at half-past 7 o'clock. Dr. King bad been in bad health tor about two years past. On the 13th of August last he left Wilmington and pro ceeded to Saratoga, where he expected that his health would be benefitted. He remained there until about the 1st of October last, when he left for New York, where he ex pected to remain during the winter for the purposes of rest and recreation. Letters Were subsequently received by his friends aad relatives here stating that he was very pleasantly situated, and that he bad employed much of his time, for two or three weeks after his arrival, in visiting the various hospitals, medical colleges, etc. Alter this his health seems to have con tinued to decline, and about two or three weeks since bis illness began to assume a serious aspect. Letters continued to be re ceived by bis relatives aad friends in Wil mington, one day being of a more or less encouraging character, and the next, per haps, the reverse, until the latter part of last week, when his daughters were summoned 4 i ,oj.;j cts- jMth from this city to bis bedside. His death seems to have been the result of a compli cation of diseases. Dr. King, who was aged about 50 years, was a native of Beaufort, Carteret county, and served during a good portion of the war ia the Confederate service. In the early part of the year 1865 he removed to this city, where he has resided ever since, and wh'ere he has enjoyed a large practice. He was a very popular physician, and bis death will cause a vacuum in the com munity which it will be hard to fill. The remains of Dr. King are to be brought' to this city for interment, and will probably arrive to-day. Dedication of n Baptist Onwren ac Btonree Ttoe Orpaan Asylum, See. From a friend at Monroe, Union cobety, we learn that the new Baptist church at that place was dedicated on Sunday last, in accordance with previous notice, by Rev. Dr. Pritchard, President of Wake Forest College, who preached an eloquent aad ap propriate sermon from the 6th chapter and 13th verse of Zachariah. His theme was the resemblance and the difference between the Jewish temple and ordinances end the Christian church. He head led his subject very ably. The building is of brick, covered With tin, is very tastefully constructed, aad is a very neat Church. Mbnroe has contributed about fifty d lars to the Orphan Asylum within the last two weeks. on n 11 The mother of Mr. John P. Gate, of the schooner yacht Louise, of the Boston Yacht Club, which arrived in the Cape Fear river en Friday last for a harbor and slight re- patrs, died on the ensuing night, and her remains left on the train Sunday night, in charge of her son, for the North. The yacht, with several tourists on board, was bound South on a pleasure trio, intending to go as far in that direction as Cuba. She will remain here, we understand, until Mr. Gale, the owner, returns. Tne Flro Last Ntg-fcl. The burning of a small building situated in the extreme southeastern part of the city, created the usual excitement and brought out the Fire Department last evening, about 6 o'clock, but the fire was so far oft that the house, a small one, was burned down before it could he reached.

Forsrer on hli Ko anas-Loo On the 29th of November one J. E. wnitenurst, oi Petersburg, Vs., pnt up at I the Purcell House in this city, representing I himself to be acting as agent for his er, Mr. J. M. WbUehurat, ot. that city. in the business of upholstering and paper hanging. He presented a check to Mr. Howell Cobb, proprietor of the hotel. purporting to be drawn by Mr. J. M. White- hurst and certified on its face by S. Ste phens, Cashier of the Bank of Petersburg, calling for $75 for travelling expenses, which Mr. Cobb, believing it to be genuine, and after conf wring with the bank officers here, endorsed. He did this the more readily be cause he had had a previous acquaintance with the young man, who was at one time in the employment of Col. J. R. Davis, then proprietor of the Purcell House, and also as his father was known to be a highly respected gentleman. The cheek, however, was returned by the Rank oi Pe tersburg, with the statement that the names of both drawer and certifier were forgeries; but in the meantime the enterprising young man had departed northward, ward, having, as has since been ascertained, used the coupon ef ticket No. 2,944 (un limited all-rail from Charleston to New York) on Sunday night, the 30th uit., on the Wilmington & Weldon road. He left at the Purcell House a price list of mat tresses, window shades, and other articles " 'in the upholstering and paper-hanging line. From a dispatch received by Chief of I Police Brock, from a detective in Charles- ton, on Monday of last week, just after the "bird" had flown, it appears that Whitehurst has been operating there recently, having committed forgeries under the name cf George Leon, the de scription sent by the detective, which is as follows, suit ing the Petersburg msn exactly : Five feet six inches high, dressed in dark brawn check shirt, black coat, black over coat sad round, stiff, black hat; has a rather red face, small black moustache, slight hair hp on left aide of the mouth, and is addict ed to bard drink. It is hoped that the press in this and other States will pass the young man around, so that be may be arrested in his swindling career. f' mttttavrr New.
