Grant refused to see Belknap the

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

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.

: 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.

We learn that Revenue Agent Q. H.
Blocker, assisted by Deputy Marshal Phil
lips and Deputy Collector Downing, on the
night of tbe 22d instant, discovered and
captured an illicit distillery, running in full
blast, near Swan's Station, in Moore county.
The proprietor, Wesley Stone, was cap
tured in tbe distillery, with a boy named
John Gales. Tbe distillery was located in

beer were destroyed, together with a quan
titv of low wines, malt and meal. The still

represents, under the name of Murchison &

attend him ia his new venture.
In alludieg in our last to the burning of
the residence of Mr. J no. F. Garrell, at his
Sans Souci plantation, near this city, on
Friday last, we stated that bis furniture
was not insured . We since learn that our
informant was mistaken. It was insured
with Messrs, J. W. Gordon & Bio., in tbe
La Gaits Generate, a French company, for
$1,000. We also hear that a good deal of
his furniture was saved.

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

inquest having been held over the
body last Sunday, the 21st instant.
The- place of the difficulty was near one

ZJIHB OLD GENT, ON HIS TRAVELS ROUND
the world, with a sprained foot, delighted with his
Cape Fear friends, promises to come again next
year. Perfectly carried away with Wilmington,
but has an eye to business.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26th. 1879.
MYDEAR PRBS :-Nching I ever saw in Paris,
Berlin, or Amsterdam, where I have been in the
.tpeding my Christmas ef late, equalled
the Jollity and festWUes of Wilmington. My re
ception at your J
Great Grocery Establishment,
Front Street,
Wilmington, N. C ,
was glorious. The illumination was superbly sue
cessful; the sales there surpassed my hlghestlex
pectations. The Banks and the Old Stockings
poured out the cash as if they had all the small
change in America. I got my foot caught in a tele
phone, somewhere about the old Cape Fear Bank,
next door to your magnificent store, stopping there
5S5.to!i!&FJ,re8 to connect with the
8F8?HwSKnessWY
Spring Trade of 1880,
and get my beard tangled in one of Mr. Lamb's
palmettos, and came near being caught sneezing,
falling into one of your truck, loaded to the dri
ver's ears with the choicest pr
DURHAM'S SMOKING TOBACCO !
and HAVANA CIGAR8 !
which, in the crowded condition of the Store, had
to be unloaded in the street, but a "wee drop of
your splendid
Stuart Eye,
the best and cheapest in the world, which 1 tupped
in the alley next your store, has revived me.
Pres. give my love to Old Wilmington and
wSfJffliton' WilminatolTaad "White
Wilmington, high and low. rich and poor, and tell
them while memory lasts I shall never forget their
genereug and magnificent response to ray Invitation
to yonr reception. - j
