Maine, endorses the action of Gov. Garcelon; the Governor publishes an explanatory card; it is the general opinion that he will not sub mit to the Supreme Court the questions pro pounded. A railway train, with nearly three hundred people, was precipitated into the river Ty, Scotland, by the giving way of abridge; the number of lives lost is stated to be ninety, which is probably an under-estiujatc After the coldest weather on record a thaw has set in at Paris. Gen . Hatch has given Up all hope of securing the Ute Indians demanded by the Commission; much anxiety is felt for bis fate; the whites only number twenty five; the loads are blocked with snow, and there are several hundred bosliles near there who are expected to open tbe war at once. All the renegade Indians in Arizona and on the border have been wiped out. The City Council of Augusta, Georgia, have extended the hospitalities of that city to Gen. Grant on his way to -Ptprida. The Socialists, in convention at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, propose to put a Presidential candidate in tbe field. Palestine, Texas, was partially destroyed by fire; loss $50,000. - A fire on Federal street, Boston. Sunday night, consumed about $1,000,000 worth of property. Four negro murderers were taken from the jml at Amite, Louisiana, by a mob, and shot to deatb. - A number of persons were seriously injured by a falling roof at Piusburg, Pennsylvania.

General Grant is to receive no public reception in Washington. They now call it "Blaine's Rebel lion," and it is named after its father. It is estimated that five hundred thousand people witnessed the Grant procession in Philadelphia. The South Carolina Legislature, at its late session, created a Department of Agriculture and elected Mr. A. P. Butler as Commissioner. Tbe last we have seen about Gen. Mali one is from a Republican source. He is to act with the Republicans iu the Senate, or independently of the Democrats. Representative Miles Ross, New Jersey's solitary Democratic mem ber, is for Tilden for President. He says be will be nominated. Bnt does Miles know? The Solons of South Carolina have gone home, having adjourned sine die. Tbe session lasted but thirty days. That, is a good example for all the States. The Indianians do not relish the negro exodus as muob as some pre tend. A well known and influential Republican politician of Central In diana writes tP a gentleman in Wash ington: "For every ten negro voters imported we shall lose a hundred whites." The Senate of Spain has passed a bill abolishing slavery in the island of Cuba. It provides for the libera tion of all tbe slaves after an average provisional servitude or apprentice ship of eight years, and is coupled with a vry severe vagrancy act, un der which the jurisdiction of courts martial is considerably extended. :a The Boston Post is the old Demo cratic paper of New England that has done so much effective service for its party and has never wavered in its devotion to principles. It is inter esting to know how it views matters in Maine. It says: "The wrong practised in 1870 does not justify imitation, however severe the pro vocation or tempting the occasion. Our friends in Maine must be aware that tbe entire country is now watching the course 01 events there. The popular win can never be thwarted with impunity." The VOJL..XXY. NO. 83. Gen. Charles P. Kingsbury died on Christmas day, at his residence in Brooklyn, New York, aged about 01. He went to West Point from the Ox ford district, although a native of Way ne county, New York. He was the ablest, the most highly cultivated, tbe most gifted man of his name, so far as the writer knows. He had been a member of the Presbyterian Church for quite a quarter of a cen tury. He married in Fayetteville He was graduated at W est Point in 1840, taking number two in a large class. Ho was the author of a treatise on artillery tactics which was long the text-hook at West Point.. He was Geu. Taylor's aid at the battle of Buersa Vista, and is mentioned specially by him in his official report, lie belonged to the Ordnance Corps and bad but little chance' of distinc tion. He was an exceedingly brilliant and able writer, contributing largely to the leading periodicals of the country. Ilia published criticisms and literary papers of different kinds would make many volumes if gath ered. There was never a greater mistake for any man io commit than for him to have one set of morals as a citizen and family-man, and another set of principles and morals as a politician. A politician who is dishonest is none too good to play the same game with his fellows in the business affairs of life. VV ben tbe honest men of the couutry combine in favor of honesty among officials there will be fair deal ing at tbe polls and in the after-count. The Richmond State gives two ex amples of unusual conscientiousness. We Copy: "Honest men everywhere are beginning to -refuse in wages of fraud, which, we take it, is a hopeful sign of the future of tbe country. It was first a Conservative, Griffin, in Virginia, whj would not accept a place to which he believed his Republican competitor bad been elected, notwithstand ing the returns were counted in bis favor; ami now a Republican in New Jersey has followed bis example and refused to be a party to a frauduicul or technical count in his luvor. 1 bis is the true remedy for the evih Let men set in their political as they would in their private or business relations. No honest man would knowingly be a re ceiver or purchaser of stolen property, pass a counterfeit bill or forged cheek, or cheat his neighbor out of the value of a penny in a trade, and yet many such Will connive at election frauds upon tbe people and profit by them without tbe least compunction of conscience." Samuel Perry and Taylor Evans, colored school teachers and preachers, are the agents used in the North Carolina exodus. They are in Wash ington and report that they have found homes for 665 negroes, with promised homes for 200 more. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun reports as follows : "Perrv baa lost returned from Indiana. and says that the farmers about Terra Haute want sixty families, and in Rockville fifty families will be given work at good wages. They have made an arrangement by which the through fare has been reduced to Six teen dollars from Goldsboro to Indianapolis, and in order to prevent the scheme from getting into bad odor they will not hereafter admit to their colonies any persons who are not able to pay their fare. Perry says that the party that was here recently in such an impecunious condition were not under their care. They intend to canvass tbe State of Indiana for places, and hope to take five thousand colored people out there during the next six months. They assert that they will take out none who are not provided for with labor in advance, and do not expect any opposition from the people of Indiana. The greatest demand is. for house servants, and ferry says he could find places for five thousand women if they were educated up to lbs Northern system of domestic econ omy, but he does not think a North Caro lina plantation cook would suit an Indiana mistress." It is estimated that there has been an increase of at least ten per oent. in the industries of Richmond, Va., during the year. The increase in the iron trade is one and a half million dollars. Agricultural implements $132,000. The leaf tobacco business has been quite heavy, but not as much so as it would have been but for the f aot that the European mar kets were overstocked by purchases of former seasons. The increase of the manufacturing trade is fifteen per cent. One manufacturer alone has made this year two billion cigarettes, and shipped two million to European markets. t. Gov. Garcelon, in his reply to ex Senator Morrill's letter proposing to refer the matter io controversy to the Supreme Court, says: "Please to indicate the points that occur to you which have not already been adju dicated upon, and I doubt not that we may be able to secure a satisfactory solution of the doubtful complications; or, if not satis factory, at least such as may be deemed authoritative. Tbe fact to which you al lude, that so large a number of Republican members elect fail to receive certificates, is due to the fact that so many municipal of ficers failed to comply with the constitu tional requirements, and which, by judicial decision, tbe Governor and Council have no authority to overlook. This condition ot affairs is no fault of the Governor and Council." Morning! WILMINGTON, While scientists and unbelievers are crying down Edison, his answer to all his critics is that the lamps are burning brightly. One light has been steadily burning for five days. A special to Philadelphia, on the 26tb, says : "At 9 o'clock this evening the eighty-horse-power engine was at work, and the chunky little generator was churning out electricity. Two street electric lamps were casting an orange glow upon tbe snowy meadow in front of Mr. .Edison's private office. Twenty odd electric lights were burning in the Edison buildings. I: was a whiter light than that in the street. It was more like daylight. There was nothing that could annoy the eye. The glow was mild and steady. There was no flicker in the airless globes, and the weakest-eyed sewing woman could-' have taken her stitches as easily as though she sat by a window at noonday ." The gas light managers express no alarm. They -profess to believe some how that, after all, Edison will fail. But the great inventor says the elec tric light is practically done, although he is still experimenting with a view of reducing its cost. The New York World asked the question if Horatio Seymour was nominated if any one supposed that Grant conld carry New York against him. The Philadelphia Chronicle, the leading Democratic paper of Philadelphia, says Seymour. is an em inent patriot and statesmen, and that "there will be no better man nominated." Correct, Mr. Chronicle. The New York Tildehites want the Democratic National Convention to meet in that city. - John Kelly op poses this movement vigorously. The Tildenitee say it is impudent in Kelly to have anything to say about it. A man who received 77,000 votes for Governor ought to be allowed to speak bis mind. Obsequies at Gen. Kingsbury. New York World, 27th. J The funeral of the late Brevet Brigadier General Charles P. Kings bury, who died at his residence, No. 16 Hancock street, Williamsburg, on Thursday last, will take place this afternoo i from the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Cburob. Kev. Dr. Juy- ler will officiate, and the remains will be interred in Greenwood Cemetery. Though in accordance with the wishes of tho deceased there will be no military ceremonies, the funeral will be attended by many of the regular army officers on duty in this department. Major Generals W. S. Hancock, H. W. Sloe am and Silas Casey will be among the pallbearers. It is also expected that General Wil liam T. Sherman and Governor Mo Clellan will be present during tbe ser vices. Spirits Turpentine. Mr. Lewis Shultz, of Indiana, paid a visit to his old home, Salem, after an absence of thirty years. In the East Bend section of Forsyth county 60 hogs were slaughtered, weighing 17,409 pounds, an aversge of 252. The weekly papers are all taking holiday, so for a week or so our State news will be scant necessarily. We have no Ra leigh or Charlotte dailies to fall back on. Warrenton Gazette: On Thurs day last the gin of Messrs. R. H. Paschall, W. 8. Davis and W. B. Flamming, at Mer ry Mount, was burnt, together with the press, engine, four thousand pounds of seed cotton, and about as much flue cured to bacco belonging to Mr. Paschall. The loss Is estimated at about fifteen .hundred dol lars. Winston Sentinel: The state ment of the condition ef the First National Bank, published this week, shows the pros perous condition of that institution . It is tbe intention of tbe members of the j M.

At a Mr. Fisher's, some eight miles below town, last week, over one hundred cords of wood brought tbe nominal sum of 25 and 30 cents a cord. i Eliz vbeth City Carolinian: It is an ascertained fact that Oregon Inlet is deepening and widening, letting the water of tbe ocean into tbe sound. As one of the results, tbe water in the Pasquotank river, even as far up as Elizabeth City, is at times so salt that animals refuse to drink it. L. N.

N. C, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30, t879 ST. JOHN'S DAY. Celebratloa by the Masonic Frater nity If esierday Dedication of tbelr Lot in Oakdale Cemetery-Addresses, dec. The Masonic fraternity ef Wilmington, consisting of St. John's Lodge No. 1, and WUmington Lodge No. 319, celebrated St. John's' Day yesterday. The programme, previously agreed up and published in our Sunday's Issue, was carried out almost to the letter. The members met at St. John's Hall at 9f o'clock, and, after a brief -but unavoidable delay, were formed in proces sion by tbe Marshals, Messrs. John L. Cantwell and John W. Perdew, and headed by the Cornet Concert Club, took up its Jine of march up Market street to the residence of the orator of the. day, E. S. Martin, Esq;, who was escorted to the carriage pre pared for him, when the procession coun termarched to Fourth street, up Fourth to Campbell, and out Campbell to Oakdale Cemetery, marching to the Masonic lot not far from and almost immediately in front of the entrance, and on the north side of the avenue leading to the Confederate lot. Here the officers and members of .the f ra ternity took the stations assigned them., A neat and substantial stand bad been erected on the north side of the lot, fronting south, and in this the Orator of the Day, the Chap lain, members of the committee, and gen tlemen of the choir took their seats. We also noticed on the stand Fab. H. Busbee, Esq., of Raleigh. The exercises were opened by a dirge from the band, after which the ceremony of dedicating tbe lot was proceeded witb by the officers of St. John's Lodge No. 1, which included prayer by tbe Chaplain, Rev. George Patterson, D. D. , and the reading of tbe dedicatory services by Worshipful Master W. R. Ke nan, which was done in a very clear and distinct voice. The dedicatory exercises were very so lemn, interesting and impressive, and were listened to with much attention by those present. Next followed an ode by the choir, consisting of Messrs. Robinson, Myers, Bradley and Rankin, with Mr. Myers at the organ, which was executed with much skill and sweetness, and was followed by a beautiful and impressive prayer, appro priate to tbe occasion, by Kev. Dr. Patter son, the Chaplain . J. L Macks, Esq., then, in a few neat and appropriate words, introduced tbe speaker, E. S. Martin, Esq., remarking that one so well known in our midst required but little introduction. Mr. Martin then arose and delivered one of the best addresses of tbe kind to which we have ever listened. Tbe principles of masonry were pictured in glowing colors, while the language of the speaker was both beautiful and impressive, and his manner graceful and attractive. Speaking in the open air, with a stiff breeze of wind and the glaring sunshine both in bis face, he labored under no little disadvantage, but he seemed not to regard it It is seldom that we have listened to an address on any sub ject that impressed us more favorably. At the close of tbe speech the Worship ful Master called for a tender of the Grand Honors, which was done by the olapping of bands by the members of the order. Another dirge by the band, rendered with excellent effect, and the pronouncing of the benediction by tbe Chaplain, Rev. Dr. Patterson, and tbe interesting services were brought to a close, when tbe Marshals, in obedience to directions from tbe Worship ful Master, reformed the procession, which, to tbe soul-inspiring music of the band inarched back to the Lodge room, where it was disbanded and the members dis persed until the evening. At half past 7 o'clock in the evening the members of the two Lodges reassembled at St. John's Hall, and forming in procession, marched to tbe City Hall, preceded by the Cornet Band. At the Hall, after music by the band, the ceremonies were opened by prayer from Rev. E. A. Yates, an ode was sung by the Glee Club, and the orator for the occasion, Mr. Fab. H. Busbee, of Raleigh, was introduced to tbe large audience of ladies and gentlemen assembled, by Rev Dr. Patterson. The address of Mr. Busbee, pertaining of course to matters relating to the Order, was also highly entertaining and instruc tive to tbe general audience, and was lis tened to with profound, attention and in terest. Graceful in manner and pleasing in speech, bis eloquence impressed all, while his fair presence no doubt captivated tbe hearts of many of bis hearers. We re gret that we are unable to give a synopsis of the address. Tbertnometer Record.

Lost Tftelr Dinner. On Sunday last, as Mr. Geo. F. TUley, residing on Third, between Walnut and Red Cross streets, was about to sit down to dinner, together with bis family, they were all called out for a few minutes in the yard, leaving the house deserted. They soon after returned to the dining room to partake of the meal which had been pre pared and placed upon the table, when they discovered to their chagrin that some thief- most probably a strolling tramp bad en tered the house during their brief absence and stolen their dinner, even to the empty- ing of the butter dish, leaving only two or three biscuits to the family with which to stay their hunger until another meal could be prepared. Entrance must have been made through, one of the, side windows, which was found open, as both the front and back doors were locked, tbe only other way of ingress and egress being. through the kitchen, entering by which the thief would have laid himself liable to certain detection. It was a daring theft, commit ted with wonderful speed and ezpertness, as tbe family were absent from the room but a few minutes. Fire Sunday morning. The house on the southeast corner of Front and Ann streets, belonging to Mr. F. Stolter, narrowly escaped destruc tion by fire on Sunday morning last, about half past 7 o'cloek. The fire seems to have caught near the foundation on the north sde of the building, thence blazing up be tween the plastering and wealherboarding nearly to the roof. The fire department was quickly on the ground, when a por tion of the weatberboarding was ripped off and a stream of water gotten upou the flames, which were quickly brought under I control. Mr. Stolter estimates the damage to the building to be in tbe neighborhood of $600, ihe most of the plastering being injured by the water. His loss is covered by insurance in a company represented by Messrs. DeRosset & Northrop. The fire is supposed to have been caused by tbe igni tion of matches by rats or mice. Interesting Occasion. A large congregation assembled on last Sunday afternoon, at the Masonbaro Baptist church, some six miles from the city, when Rev. John H. Beasley was set apart to the full work of the gospel ministry. Tbe or dination sermon was preached by Rev. J. B. Taylor, of this city, from Romans i:16, "I am not ashamed to preach the gospel of Christ." The ordaining prayer was made by Rev. Mr. Edwards, of Sooth Carol i a a, after which the right hand of fellowship was given. A number of our citizens were in attendance upon the solemn servicee Waicblns (Me OM Tear Out and me New Tear la. We are requested by Rev. Mr. Yates to state that there will be a watch night meet ing at tbe Front Street M. E.

On reaching home aad acquainting his wife with what he had done, she refused to have it ad ministered to tbe child, as she was strongly in favor of Homceopathy. That night the child passed In suffering, and the parents without sleep.
