This is her third "exciting incident" of the season. If we may judge from our daily ex changes there was a little too much of Christmas on Thursday. John Barleyooru was on a big drunk. Will not some statistican compute how many dollars were thrown away during Christmas in whiskey, fire works and other combustibles. Many millions of dollars were thus burned up. Grant refused to see Belknap the other day. Ah! That was not the way the faithful were once treated. Since Grant learned to turn his wine glass down he is not disposed to hob nob with reprobates. We were just about saying that wo look through a Glass darkly when we view Danville and its environs as presented by the Post of that grow ing town, when we found that pointed paragrapher, tbe State, had said some thing of the same sort and in much happier style. Mr. Tennyson's new play has been put on tbe stage at the St. James Theatre, London, and has tailed. He lacks the genuine dramatic faculty it seems. His Queen Mary and Harold are works ot real genius, and with tbe exception of two or three plays from other bands, are the most read able in literature since the time of the Elizabethan dramatists, but they are not successful acting plays, lhey are superb dramatic poems. The r-r- VOL. XXV Nd 82 : i m i As far as we know the feeling ia North Carolina in regard to the exo dus is to give tbe colored people fairly and truly all necessary information, and then to throw no obstacle in the way of their leaving for the cold Northwest. Let all go who have a mind to go. Senator Voorhees, Chairman of ihe Senate Exodus Investigating Committee, is repre sented as follows in the Washington speoial to the Baltimore Sun : "So far as he is concerned he only wishes lo get at the real facts, and he will favor that the Committee shall, when obtained, merely give them to the public and let the public form its own conclusions. Heknows that there ia do demand for negro labor in Indiana, and if the negroes have been de ceived as to this, they should be undeceived. If they came into Indiana of their own. volition, nothing; should be said against it, but if they were brought . there through methods which were not natural and proper, and for sinister purposes, tbe thing should be exposed." The Republican party has always offered tbe negro the hand of political equality and fellowship; and as the negroes can't get them ut the South, they have decided to come North for them. Baltimore Ameri can, Rep. Well, well, and this is gravely said immediately after its Christmas prayers and promises to reform. "Political equality and fellowship!" That's) the tune is it? How many colored men are in Congress from the North? How , many Governors and other State officials in the North are negroes? How many Legislators, Postmasters, Foreign Ministers, &c, are negroes? What a shame it is in any paper to thus falsify the facts? Shame upon you. One of the healthy signs of the times is that the ablest Democratic papers in the country are bold to con demn wrong even in their own party, and the more conservative Republi cans iu the North are becoming alarmed at the prospect of Grant and the .Third Term. Fobt able repre sentatives of that party have declared that they will support a sound, con servative Democrat in preference. Tbe papers too are beginning to show symptoms of fear.

Between two and three weeks ago, in the lower part of Duplin county, near the Lenoir county line, a difficulty occurred between two brothers named Thomas and Warren Mai pass and a man named John Lewis Holland, during a shooting-match between the parties, which culminated in a fight, and, while Warren Malpass and Hol land were struggling together, Thomas Malpass cut Holland with a knife, inflicting a terrible wound, from the effects of which the stricken man has since died, a jury of inquest having been held over the body last Sunday, the 21st instant. The- place of the difficulty was near one Windell Davis' mill, about fifteen miles from Eenansville.
