Our readers should appreciate the large amount of telegraphic news laid before them daily in the columns of the Stab. During the last week we published over twenty-three col umns of solid brevier This, we have no doubt, is very much more than any of oar Slate contemporaries COnla,0d- Old Hannibal Hamlin, the f ossif erous Senator from a big iceberg that composes a part of the State of Maine, imagines that he is the veritable Car thaginian whose name is immortal. He stood by consenting to the rape of Louisiana and Florida in 1876, but he 8 wears that no such outrage shall be committed upon his iceberg, not as long as he can use a short sword or flourish a tomahawk. The Baltimore Sun's letter from Washington reports bim as follows: "He says he can hardly conceive that the Democrats will undertake to deprive Re publicans of the offices to which they have been elected, but if they do it he is in favor of 'going to the Stale House and taking the revolutionists by the nape of the neck and pitching them into the streets,' and, said he, 'I will be one to assist. ' " The old man ought to have some iron hoops put on him. He is in dan ger of an explosion. In 1876 the Rad icals were to be benefited by Return ing Boards. Now it will be the other party. It is old Hannibal's ox that is in danger, and how he (Hannibal) bellows and paws up the dirt. Gov. Jarvis is thus reported by Mr. Stillitou, of ihe New York Herald, who interviewed him some two weeks ago: "Governor Jai vi deiiues the position of the Conservative parly in this way:. 'Our people are for the man who can carry New York aud Iudiana. We suppose him to be either Bayard or Seymour. There are not three influential Conservatives la North Carolina who would favor Grant's candi dacy. Even if there were more who did so it would make no difference. Leaders might attempt to suppoit him; the people would not follow.' " This is about right as we see it. If Seymour wiil say he will accept the nomination he will get it without touch contest if the Democrats know how to select a winuing horse. The Finance Committee of the Senate is divided on the Bayard reso lution. Four are in favor of report ing it and four against. Mr. Beck is undecided. The Baltimore Sun says: "It is understood, however, thai the Kentucky Senator will vole in committee in favor of reporting the resolution, while be will probably oppose it in the Senate when it shall be put upon its passage." Gov. Robinson and Judge Church, of New York, have signed a memorial favoriug Bayard's resolution. Charles Francis Adams and ex-Gov. Gaston, of Massachusetts, have also signed a similar petition. There is strong opposition to Til den in the central counties of New York, and they say they intend to send a full" set of delegates to the National Convention. Spirits Turpentine. There are no prisouers in Frank lin county jail. There were no deaths at Raleigh week before last. . I Revenue collections in Fourth District last week $21,024 23.

And now it turns out that the old fellow named Cross Wood is, who was awfully aged but not two hundred, is only about 80 years old. So says Mr. H. C Ham ilton in Charlotte Observer. Next. . The North Carolina Conference, M. . Church, passed a resolution request ing each pastor to take up one collection for the benefit of the orphans of the State in the Oxford Asylum. Well and generous ly done. The meeting of the business men of Charlotte, to extend a welcome to the .Northern men who have just moved in, was well attended and very cordial. Sun dry speeches were made by the new-comers and the representative Charlotteans. -The Concord Register says a rich vein pf gold has been struck inside the corporate limits of the town, crossing the lots of Joel Reed, J. P. Gibson and W. A. Smith. It was worked last week and a critical test showed a return of $5 per bushel. Wilson Advance: At the Con ference, held in this place, steps were taken for paying the debt of Trinity, the Methodist College. The indebtedness of the college amounts only to f 10,400, and the members of the Conference are quite sure that more than that sum can be raised during the year 1880. It is estimated there are over 90,000 Methodists in North Carolina, in cluding those who beloDg to the Yirginia Conference living in the Eastern section as mil as those in the West within the bounds otUbe Holston Conference. The Baptists claim 160,000. In the N. C. Baptist Con vention there are 75,600 members represent ed and 736 churches. Raleigh News: We learn that Governor Jai vis and a party of friends leave on next Tuesday to be present at the open ing of the big .tunnel, beyond the "mud cut," and to pass through on the first train that goes. Rev. A. 0. Dixon, pastor of the Baptist Church at Chapel Hill, has - WILMINGTON, received a call to Asheville, which he has accepted, lie is expected to leave soon. - Gen. Johnstone Jones orders the commissioned officers of the First JRegiment of Infantry to meet at New Berne on Janu ary 13th, 1880, to elect field officers; those of the Second Regiment to meet at Wil mington for the same purpose. Those of the Fourth Battalion (Infantry) will meet at Raleigh, and those of the Fifth Battalion at Fayetteville, on the same day, for the same purpose. Raleigh Observer, 11th: The Governor yesterday appointed L. F. How ard a Commissioner, on the part of North Carolina, In regard to the settlement of the boundary of this State and Georgia, at the point where Macon county, North Carolina, and Rabun county, Georgia, join . He will meet a similar commissioner of Georgia to adjust the matter. The last Legislature passed an act in regard to this matter. There has been doubt and dispute for many years about the boundary. Reidsville limes: Mr. J as. Hay, of New Salem, in Randolph county, was here last Saturday, with a wagon-load of stoneware, jugs, pipes, etc. He retailed jugs aL5 cents-a gallon. He was loaded with about two hundred gallons. Mr. Hay informed us that two years since he turned out twelve thousand gallons of stoneware, which he sold readily at ten cents per gal lon. Borne of the clay was as white as chalk and made beautiful ware. He gath ers the clay near to bis house and turns it out with a turning lathe. Kinston Journal: Parrott's Mill is now at work sawing the lumber for the Morehead. hotel about 440,000 feet. We learn it is contemplated to make the hotel a winter as well as summer resort make it headquarters for the Northern hunters to pass the winter. Mr. S. L Woo ten re ceived the following telegram from exodite "Green Castle, Ind., November 29th, 1879. Tell my family, and friends to stop until I write. Allen Smith." The telegram was. too late, for his family left the day before. In a few days his letter arrived stating that he wanted thirty dollars sent him to pay his way back to North Carolina. The Charlotte Observer men tioned that Bishop Green said there was a necessity for such a word as "marrify." Why we are not told. The news genius of the New York Sun passed the item into his mental' dice-box, and when he threw it out it came in this shape: "The Rev. Dr. Barton, of Charlotte, N. C, recently said, in his pulpit: 'On Tuesday evening next, in this church, I will marnfy Brother Ben ton and Sister Rogers.' He was afterward asked why he had used a word not in the dictionary, and he replied, ia a letter to the local newspaper, that such a word was needed, and therefore correct; that the couple married each other, but the min ister marrified them." Elizabeth City Meonomist: A. M. Willy, living in Currituck county, saved from half an acre, 400 poundswof good to bacco this past season. Tyrrell county items: John A. and W. J. Sawyer have shot eleven and killed and got nine bears this season. Sylvanus Sawyer hearing of this and also that Bill Basnight bad three dead bears in his canoe at one time, con cluded he'd try his luck. So about the last of November, one night after eating his supper, he started but. He got home next day in. the morning with two bears, two deer, and a coon. The Order of Good Templars have done much good in Columbia. Rum is sold at only one place in the county. Three of the County Commissioners are Good Templars, and the others favor the cause. The sheriff and his deputy, the clerk, register and his deputies, are all Good Templars. The Japan pea is considered a profita ble crop by those who have tried it in this ' county. Charlotte Observer: Father Evans thinks that Milton needs a bank,and that be needs a cheek On it. Mr. A. K. Long, bookkeeper for Mr. Allen Cruse, was riding on one of Mr. Cruse' a drays.yea terday, standing up and unsupported, when, at the corner of College and Fifth streets, a sudden jolt caused him to lose his balance and fall from the dray .

The prisoners, six in number and all col ored, who have been confined in our county jail, were taken up yesterday morning by the Jailor, Daniel Howard, who is also act ing Deputy Sheriff.

The poor little waif that was left on the piazza of one of our German citizens, Sa turday morning last, an account of which appeared in Sunday's paper, died yesterday morning at the residence of one of our phi lanthropic citizens, who had taken it with the intention of adopting it. It was the vic tim of cold and exposure, and its death, though it may be considered a happy re lease so far as H was personally concerned, will entail a fearful responsibility upon its inhuman parents.
